open house and i look upstairs and there's literally like boxes and shit yeah in front of
the door they see your crazy eyes with the lights on in the living room.
The rug's in the kitchen.
Rolled up.
Yeah, rolled up rug in the kitchen.
Well, you invited them.
This is where you lay the plastic.
Cleaning products out.
The whole under the kitchen sink.
Chris is just welcoming with a box cutter.
Sorry I got blood on your floor, Henry.
Oh, come on in.
Yeah, it's cold out there.
I know it's cold out there.
It's crazy.
Well, I didn't realize there's one below us because we walk right on that.
Yeah, they just renovated the one below us.
But yeah, the old landlord, he would just walk around.
I thought yours was just renovated.
You motherfucker.
No, I'm kidding.
This is beautiful.
You motherfucker.
No, I love it.
This is a fucking capital castle over here.
I love it.
I swear to God.
So he calls me.
He can't find parking because I told him it was going to be easy.
First of all, don't just say it like that.
I texted him earlier and I said, what's the parking situation like?
Because I like to be prepared for things.
I'm going to show up early.
If he says it's a nightmare, I'm going to show up 20 minutes early, which I already did anyway.
Look for parking.
Make sure I'm there.
I'm an on-time person.
You're right.
Our drive, I appreciate it.
So then he's like, it's no big deal.
There's meters everywhere.
He made it sound like it's a fucking free-for-all.
He doesn't drive.
He's got no idea.
Again, that's my fault for not understanding that But then, now I'm just like
You know when it's like
You get here, it's 5.32
I'm like, I got plenty of 28 minutes
The music's still on
Then you text me, I'm like, hey, I'm looking for the
Now it's 48, and I'm like, the music's down
And you start to change your gait a little bit
You're like, what the fuck is going on?
You're getting out of your gut.
And then it turns into a thing where like, now I'm going to be late.
I don't want to be late for something I was never intentionally.
I was fucking not late.
Yeah, yeah.
You were incredibly early.
Yeah.
Also, the parking people, like the parking is not terrible, but the people who park are animals. Like, I don't know if you saw this driving around,
but you'll see cars six feet from a curb cutout.
You're like, dude, you got to tighten that up. Yeah, but maybe there's a whole other car.
Maybe there's a couple mopeds in front of that.
Dude, there's one guy across the street who parks.
There's two cars can fit there easily.
It's a clown car, by the way.
No, no.
Are you talking about Paisito?
No, no, no.
A literal clown lives across the street. Oh, really talking about Paisito no no no a literal clown
lives across the street
from us
oh really
a working clown
sweetest man in the world
and is the car
part of the act
like is it one of those
things where you get
a tiny car
where you gotta roll out
with all these
I don't think so
okay
because that would work
well in this neighborhood
I think it's the fine parking
this is what I should have
told you
how big is your car
it's not a big car
and dude
yeah
so he texts me outside after looping around for 20 minutes.
And he goes, my blinkers are on right out front.
And that's when I was like, dude, I grabbed the keys.
Am I going to go help him park?
Yeah.
I'm running down the steps.
I run to the outside of this nice truck.
And I go to hit the knob.
And a guy comes around out of nowhere and starts putting a box in the open trunk.
He was nowhere in front of our fucking house.
I almost got in the car of the dude who was loading up.
Yeah, it was like a couple places down the block.
Yeah, you were like four or five houses down the line.
I was like, dude, that's not my fucking house.
It was going to be shot.
This is where I am.
I got my blinkers on.
I think you'll find me now.
It's easier now.
You'll find me.
And then I got there.
It was a Tesla.
I'm like, oh, that's where the attitude is going.
He jumps in.
I'm like, it's warm.
Get in. Let's go. I couldn't figure out how to open it. You got like push. It's a fucking. No one can open it. It's a now. It's easier now. And then I got there and it was a Tesla. I'm like, oh, that's where the attitude He jumps in and I'm like, it's warm, get in, let's go.
I couldn't figure out
how to open it.
You got like push.
No one can open it.
People get,
and they get mad.
Yeah, of course they should get mad.
Fuck this car.
Yeah.
Fuck you and this fucking Elon Musk.
And you're like,
all right.
Until that situation.
I didn't know how to get out either.
He's like,
hit the top button.
And it's like a push button.
I like Tesla.
They're smooth, cool cars.
I like that it's a push button it's a
beautiful car that makes me feel like i should catch up see i don't resent the technology but

You can't go near it.
A big Philly thing for like friends

And so I was like, I'm getting healthier.
It's healthier, right?
So a week I did the Peloton.
Now I'm going away for –
That's a chainsaw.
Yeah.
I felt like – I was like, no one has ever – when I walked on towards the plane, I was like, no one has ever when i walked on towards the plane

the endorphin yes what i was saying about like even if you jog on a treadmill like we'll fucking
smoke a bottle of whiskey have a terrible weekend yep you if i don't get to the gym the next day

I have no problem with that.
But the day that I do, fucking watch out.
Yes, dude.
Because you've never seen an ass like mine.
I kept showing my wife,
I go, you ever seen a fucking ass like this before?
I go, this is insane how fucking in shape I am.
Yeah.
At 44.
So I get to the airport super early,
right over LaGuardia over here.
I get to the Delta thing.
I go, I've got two options.
Dunkin' Donuts is open or that little Health Mart.
I go, this is new, Steve.
Yeah, Health Mart time.
Health Mart.
Banana, orange juice, right?
Eat the banana, chug the orange juice.
You got another sexy bump.
Right?
So now I'm like, I'm so hot.
Now your shirt's off.
I'm healthy, dude.
I get on the plane, right?
I sit down next to my lady.
We all have the mask on.
All of a sudden, you know, it's like the first minute and a half no you fucking sweating you hot bubble guts dude

Pit stains
Pit stains
And I got the
The vomit bag
Right
I take my mask
And I'm going
Into this
Right
I don't know what's happening
My stomach is just moving around
And all of a sudden
I'm like
I'm not gonna be sick
The girl goes
Are you okay
I go
I am okay I think
Don't ask me that again
I go
But I don't have If you ask one more time I'm gonna throw up I said I go I don't have COVID I tell you okay? I go, I am okay, I think. Don't ask me that again. I go, but I don't have.
If you ask one more time, I'm going to throw up.
I said, I go, I don't have COVID.
I tell you that because I'm like, I know you don't believe me because I'm sweating like a heroin addict.
Right, right, right.
But I go, I don't have.
I got tested this past week.
Meanwhile, you're just like.
She goes, okay, all right.
But meanwhile, she's like trying to, you know.
And all of a sudden, I'm like, I'm going to be all right.
I find that little fan that hits you, right?
So I'm sitting there, right?
And all of a sudden, I'm like, I'm fine.
I got the mask on, right?
I'm good. You know, you're talking to yourself. I'm good. You're good. Calm? And all of a sudden, I'm like, I'm fine. I've got the mask on, right? I'm good.
You know, you're talking to yourself.
I'm good.
You're good.
Calm down.
I was like, you're good.
Bloop!
Into the mask, right?
No!
Yeah, I barfed into my own mask.
And I was like, oh, boop, boop, boop.
Immediately up to the bathroom, right?
It was all orange juice.
Like, who pours acid into an empty stomach in the morning
and then jostles it around on a fucking plane?
Dude.
It came up like a smoothie, Tommy.
It came up because there was banana chunks and the fucking.
It was like a smoothie.
I could have bottled it and drank it like an hour and a half, chilled it and drank it an hour and a half later.
Dude, I had no idea about this before.
And I had a hangover that was so bad that I kept.
I thought the orange juice was going to cure my hangover.
So I threw up from the hangover.
And I was like, my body needs vitamin C and nutrition. I drank more orange juice was going to cure my hangover, so I threw up from the hangover. And I was like, my body needs vitamin C and nutrition.
I drank more orange juice, threw up.
I did it four or five cycles until I finally realized
the orange juice is making me feel good.
It made it sound like a dad.
If I had gone to the Dunkin' Donuts
and pounded two donuts in a Gatorade,
I would have slept.
Dude, you would have slept. Dude,
you would have had to
fucking get me out of a,
but that,
this is my number one problem
with airports now.
And I barfed my mask.
I had to throw my mask out.
Then I come out,
I go,
I gotta ask the guy for a mask.
I go,
you got another mask?
Because he goes,
where's your mask?
I go,
it's gone.
How did you walk?
And there's nothing
that can be done.
And that's it.
Socially can't be repaired.
It's over.
And so,
how did you, how did you walk from your seat?
Dude.
Wait, hold on.
It's you, your wife, and who's the third?
No, me.
Now I'm by myself.
I know, but you're your wife next to you in the seat.
No, my wife's not next to me.
Some strange lady's next to me.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
So you're holding a bag full of puke over your nose and...
No, she didn't.
I had my mask on, right?
Which is now a bag of puke.
It wasn't like a...
It was like a... You know when the first part comes out where you're like bleh, and you
get that warning before it's like, that came into the mask.
And what I just did was just kind of clenched around the sides.
Sealed it?
Yes.
I sealed it like my underwear, like you would do in your underwear.
And then I, you know, shame walked to the bathroom.
The old face shit.
Yep. And you get into the bathroom, you just, the mask comes. And then I, you know, shame walked to the bathroom. The old face shit. Yep.
And you get into the bathroom.
You just, the mask comes off.
Everything comes in.
You know, then it just, now I'm free to do what I have to do.
Right.
And you whores bathed it.
So you booed it?
Did you pull?
Yep.
Pulled it.
Whores bathed it.
All the fucking smoothie came out into the mouth.
You did a face bath in the thing?
Face bath in the thing.
You know, kind of, I got the, you know, I got a cool, I got a cool down in here before I go back out there. Tell me the truth. When you left the bathroom, you know i'm like i gotta cool i gotta cool down in here
before i go back out there when you left the bathroom you're like look how good my head
dude i know i said to myself i go i got i go enough's enough with this healthy shit
that's why i drew the line you know enough is enough with this yeah and i'm like when i had
to ask the guy go can i have another mask he was like he's like an orange juice he's like yeah
yeah here we have it he just he was like i and i went
sat back down the lady was just like i'm like i don't know how you don't you didn't call like if
that was me sitting there and this reverse rolls as soon as she left i would have been up to the
front like we've got an emergency we've got to land this plane we've got patient zero over here
this guy's got all the signs he's got omicron delta flu vote covid aids and he's
gonna die a side piece in whatever city you were about to land in and she didn't want to ruin her
time she was like whatever it takes to get this fucking plan to land in detroit yes dude i have
a fantasy about this every time first of all i get horny as fuck when i get in an airport i don't
know what it is yeah i get horny yep because it's like you got a couple hours to to get on a flight
or an hour rather
You have a beer
And there's always
This like weird sexy
It's like going to a hotel bar
In a different city
Yeah but what are you
Gonna do it
You meet eyes with a woman
Huh
Where's that
Where's that going now
That's the exciting part
No I
Yeah
Cause you have to find it
Who knows
Yeah
I had a layover
Recently
People do it though
And we missed our flight
And then had to layover
And they put you up
In like a nice hotel.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And I met, it was like exactly what I wanted.
Wow.
I met eyes with this like sexy Russian.
I was thinking that you were like, I'm at the bar and then like you see another person
and you're like, oh, let's hook up right now in this moment right now.
That's what's in my head.
But where in the, where like in the terminal, in the bathroom and the.
Yeah, who knows?
Or you just like, where are you going?
You know where I thought about the new place?
Where?
The breast pump place.
You know those pods they have for the women, the breast pump?
Oh, yes.
Hello?
You don't think those are comfortable?
You don't put your husband in there and you just lie and say,
this is my wife?
No, it's like the airport bathroom.
One lady goes in and everyone's like standing.
Yes.
And then they slide in and close that door.
Yes.
The reason I say that.
I don't know how sturdy they are.
Stay away from the door.
I mean I don't want to
knock it over
and jostle too much.
The pod just starts
rolling down the tarmac?
The thing just starts to go down
or down the terminal.
Get some rhythm?
You know.
But
these are
yeah.
Well that folds over
into like
I have this whole
sexual fantasy
about
stewardesses or air air horse what do
you call them i don't know uh flight attendants i think yeah yeah um i always think they're like
because the ones that i've met are very sexually advanced and they're like they're the way they
speak you mean like in real life when they're not like on the plane yes okay yes they're very
stewardesses have you met?
I don't think I've ever met a steward.
I've met at least five or six stewardesses.
Really?
Yeah.
In the wild?
No, yeah, especially in this area.
You'll notice when you walk to go to the gym or something,
you'll see a woman that's already dressed or a guy already dressed. Oh, are they the dudes?
Yeah.
Yeah, and they pull a...
I'm like, I only know dudes, stewardesses.
And first of all, I don't think you can say stewardesses anymore.
I think it's flight attendants.
Flight attendants. I'm sorry.
I don't know.
I got a pop-up break.
So they pull their bags down.
They're already wearing their fucking gear, the American Airlines gear and stuff.
They live here because they're so close to LGA.
Yeah, they have to.
Or they put them up here if they're visiting from a different city.
Like an Airbnb?
Yeah. And that's where... And they have to. Or they put them up here if they're visiting from a different city. Like an Airbnb? Yeah.
And that's where...
And they get off, and if they have like one or two days, they just go right to these hotel
bars, and they got...
These are adults that care more about the travel miles, the free trips, the boozing
and partying, and getting knocked around in a fucking Marriott.
I used to like the idea of being a flight attendant.
You could be.
As a job for yourself?
Yeah, just for a little while.
Yeah. You definitely... To travel? Just move yourself? Yeah, just for a little while. Yeah.
To travel?
You just move around.
Yeah, get to see the world.
I don't like turbulence or planes or emergency.
I'm not the guy that's going to help in the emergency.
Me too.
And so I can go to the school and you can teach me how to help.
I'll pass all the tests and stuff.
But when it all comes down to it.
No shot.
You're not helping.
It's not you.
It's not me.
It's not you.
And then tell the world what I've.
Yeah.
I'll tell the world.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I'll be alive.
Yeah.
A thousand percent.
Yeah.
How did that one flight attendant make it the only person to survive?
Well, he ate everyone when he got off.
He immediately started killing people.
He took everyone's luggage and put them in a room.
Yeah, yeah.
He was in the bathroom shitting himself.
He had meat killing people. He was in the bathroom shitting himself. He had meat on racks.
When he showed up, two days later, he killed everyone and had the meat, the human meat, hung ready to eat it.
Could have just waited 48 hours.
We would have been here.
But I prepare early.
You think you'd eat somebody?
No.
I was just watching that.
There's a Showtime show.
The plane that goes down?
The documentary?
No.
It's this, what's it called?
Lady Bugs or Beekeepers?
I don't know the fucking name.
It's about this girl's soccer team.
It's a girl's soccer team.
Their plane goes down.
It's like a live.
Nobody's prepared for that movie.
What?
Beekeepers.
This will be pleasant.
No, I know.
It's like, what's it called?
It's a 13-year 13 year old girls eating each other
what the fuck
is that show called
buzzer trappers
I don't know
by the way
don't search 13 year old girls
eating each other
it's on Showtime
but yeah
it's like a
I don't know
it's not done yet
I don't want to ruin it
but their plane goes down
is it like a South American squad
no they're Americans
and then it flashes forwards
and like between like
they you know
they survive
so it's like
it's time
you know
bounces back and forth but if they didn't survive it'd be a good story that's why
that's what it's but it is like i'm like this is like a live this is like the chilean like i want
to see but i you saw the doc on that right uh doc i think i saw i don't think i saw the truth wait
i just might have like yeah i saw the movie they get in the detail about and they have like
interviews of like dudes talking of like Dudes talking about
Like who had to eat and shit
Really
It's awesome
And they're not like
It was awesome
Like it was like
This guy was really delicious
No no they had to
Like it got to the point
They got to the point
At no point do you think
That they were like
This guy
Honestly like look
We ate four people
Yeah
This is why
He tasted like shit
Like do you know
Like he tasted different
Yeah
A thousand percent
Cause he hasn't been
going to sweet green
he's been going to
fucking Dunkin Donuts
and then there's a lot
and instead he's now
he's fucking trying to get
physically in shape
yes dude
he's eating bananas

and he's been uh
brining himself
with booze and stuff.
Yeah.
He's like veal.
Yeah, he's doing all the heavy lifting for the prep work for us.
A little piece of gillis buns.
Wagyu beef.
Dude, and yes, I would absolutely eat Shane Gillis first.
I'm not kidding.
I don't think I'd have a problem.
Beautiful.
If you were already dead, I wouldn't have a problem going with a little filet.
I don't know if I would be able to be the guy that cuts it up,
but the guy that goes like,
here, take a bite.
Taste this.
And doesn't tell you what it is,
but then after it tells you what it is.
Yeah.
Also, once someone throws it on the grill,
and you're starving.
And the fat's dripping into the fire.
I have a Traeger.
I have those smokers. Yeah, you do. Yeah. So if they made a human the fat's dripping into the fire. You're eating. I have a Traeger. I have those smokers.
Yeah, you do.
Yeah.
So if they made a human rub, like a rub for human, I would buy that and fucking Traeger
that shit right up, dude.
Yeah.
It's just a Quart Noir.
Yeah.
Like a little.
Delicious.
It would have to be the best rub.
It would have to be the most tasteful rub at all.
I'm like, you'll eat a person.
That's how good this rub is.

yellow jackets

I knew it was in that world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But Yellow Jackets is just enough more terrifying.
Yeah, and it's got really-
And after you, Yellow Jackets are motherfuckers.
Yeah, yeah.
The only hook is that that was the name of their soccer team.
That's like the only reason.
Everything else beyond that is like-
Dude, have you ever seen a fucking hornet?
You ever get stung by a hornet?
No.
Which is the-
Is it the hornet one that looks like it's like a robot?
They put it together? Yes, dude. They're giant and they burrow underneath the ground and
the only reason i got bit by a hornet i used to land playground oh yeah so you stir up their shit
zap them yeah throw these you throw this fucking sound down in their little bunker in their bedroom
basically getting woken up by a helicopter out front and then they would come out like i'm gonna fuck you up a hornet sting not since i heard that that some of them kill i don't i don't know
that's in japan killer bees yeah no the killer hornets killer hornets yeah you ever see what
they do to fucking like the uh swarms of bees and other they cut their heads off yeah they bite
their heads off and they consume them all but but they'll take out like thousands of them.
Wait, the queen does it, right?
Or everyone just...
No, just regular hornets.
It's like the purge.
Killer hornets, they'll come in and like,
there's only like five or ten of them,
but they're fucking ninjas.
Wow.
And they'll just come in and destroy entire...
Yeah.
What's a bulb that houses all the honey and stuff?
A bee's nest?
The bulb?

The hive.
Oh, yeah.

What's the fucking thing?
The best part is I condescendingly said a bee's nest.
The bees hang out.
The social club where they all hang out.
Yeah.
It is kind of like a social club.
You have to be moving for bees.
Yep.
Well, this is what I'm saying.
You get tired after doing two podcasts. Two podcasts is too much. My dad had like three kids at my social. Yeah. VFW for bees. Yep. Well, this is what I'm saying. You get tired after doing two podcasts.
Two podcasts is too much.
My dad had like three kids at my age.

I get two hours of comedy.
I'm like, what is this?
Yeah.

Yeah.
I'm like, I had to mentally prepare for this because like a day and a half ago.
Dude, I thought for sure you were canceling.
No, no.
I mean, I would have totally had I known you were going to be so cool about canceling.
As soon as I did my first lap around, I couldn't find a spot.
I was like, hey, man, it didn't work out this week.
I'll see you next time.
We'll come back next week.
If you didn't jump in the car, I probably would have been like, you want to see me outside?
Yeah, no, I'm looking.
Yep. No, it's not working seen me outside Yeah no I'm looking Yep
Nah it's not working out

Funnier than I am
No way dude
Honestly
I meant to say this
I went downstairs
To check Marisol's apartment
I went outside
And that dude
Closed the door behind us
And I was just stuck out there in this.
Oh, because he was already in here.
How did he get in the main door?
Wait, so you were locked out of here?
Yeah, they rang the doorbell.
I answered
and they were like,
is there an open house?
And I was like, I don't think so.
Nobody's here except for us
and we're not leaving.
So then I went outside.
I was like,
it's got to be the downstairs apartment.
I went outside
and he just closed the door behind us. And then I was like It's gotta be the downstairs apartment I went outside And he just closed the door
Behind us
And then I was like
Fuck it's
Fucking freezing
I hope they're finding a spot
Yeah dude
And I didn't have my phone
There was no way
Of getting in touch with you
I was just like
Well I'm either gonna die
Or
It's the coldest day
Of like
In like
Seven years here
It sucks

I don't want to fucking do it.
I don't want to do it.
I don't.
I don't.
I sell low-end commercial real estate outside of Chicago.
And that's it.
A thousand percent.
I can't.
I don't want to have to do it.
I don't like it. Dude.
Because it's an accidental, like, it's going to start a conversation.
Yeah.
About something you don't want to talk about.
And I listen to these.
And some people are into, I'm not into conversations like that.
No, dude.
I hate when an Uber driver gives you like a fucked up cold open.
Like, once I sat in an Uber and the dude was like, how was your day?
I was like, good.
How was yours? You know, like, was like good how was yours you know like i
do i do a how is yours just like that and this is this is what he says to me and i was furious he
was like not bad just got my kid back oh christ that's all he wants to talk are you fucking
kidding me now i gotta ask yeah i would have been like i've got three back last week but i gotta return these emails right now so don't don't dare stop yeah my ass tumors dude i don't know what i i that click i
clicked the the you know hearing impaired that's it you just click that thing on or whatever and
that's it somebody wrote an article about it and now every single one of them has this hearing
impaired great feature it's like who cares doesn't that tell you something yes doesn't that tell you And that's it. Somebody wrote an article about it. And now every single one of them has this hearing impaired feature.
Who cares?
Doesn't that tell you something?
Yes.
Doesn't that tell you something?
Shut the fuck up.
Yes.
We're fine tuning.
The feedback's coming in.
If 85% of the customers, I know it's not 85% of people can't hear.
I really know like three people in my life with hearing problems.
Yeah.
That's it.
I know a lot of other people.
And the rest of them hear fine.
So that's it.
They're telling you right now
how to fix the fucking problem.
Don't talk to people.
That's what we liked about cabs.
Nobody wanted to talk to a cab driver.
Well, you couldn't back then.
Well, you didn't want.
They were having their own conversation
with whatever land they were coming from.
And so they didn't have time for you.
You didn't have time. It was didn't have time it was it was a
service they would
lobby to thicken the
glass it's the thing
of like the ride
share comes from the
we're neighbors I
will help you out
and you help me out
but in the meantime
do we have to talk
yeah we have to
fucking chat about it
I also do that so
funny that you thought
the thick in the glass
was to shut the
door it's a dual
purpose instead of
getting robbed
yeah yeah
wait you thought it was to make it so that-
No, I'm saying that's how they pitched it.
I was making a joke.
All right, all right.
I'm sorry.
Now I'm going to hell.
My feet are going to hell to the fire.
You seriously thought that's because they just didn't want to hear you talk?
Dude, I want to mention this.
So the last time I saw you was at Skank Fest.
Oh, yeah.
Prior to that was Buffalo.
Which was like 10 years ago.
Six, but that's close.
Feels like 10.
Feels like 150 years ago.
Wow.
And Buffalo.
I'll start Buffalo.
No, the Skankfest thing.
So I was excited to see it.
Yeah.
But the first time I laid eyes on Skankfest,
we were going from one room to another room,
and Chris and I just dropped mushrooms.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
There's a mushroom story on this podcast
that started this whole thing off.
I didn't realize you guys were...
I didn't...
Dude, we had taken...
So when I opened...
We had taken just a cap and a stem
and thought we were going to strip a little bit. How'd you find drugs at Skankfest? Dude we had taken So when I opened We had taken just a cap and a stem Uh huh And like
Thought we were gonna like
Oh let's trip a little bit
How'd you find drugs at Skankfest?
I looked at someone
Yeah
I said hi to someone
It was impossible
Almost to get out of there
Without doing it
It was
Granted it's you pussy
I just put acid on the back of your neck
Yes dude
What the fuck
Yes
So we
It hit
And then the door opened.
And we talked about this exact moment already on the podcast, but I didn't say your name.
Uh-huh.
And I opened the door, and you were sitting on the green room couch.
You were with like a fucking, I think it was, who was in the room?
I feel like there was a ton of people.
I feel like Eddie Pepitone was in there.
Yeah, it was like a-
Jessica Curson.
It was one of the headlining nights
for all you big cats.
And I opened the door,
or he opens the door, goes first.
I'm second.
And I just see you like,
you just like kind of whipped over like this.
Yeah.
And you're the only eyes I saw.
And this is just after shit started going bananas.
Damn.
And I was like, oh no.
And I just walked this way
because I knew I would embarrass myself in that moment. Oh yeah. Because I'd seen you in six fucking years. their shit started going bananas damn and i was like oh no and i just walked this way because i
knew i would embarrass myself in that moment because i'd seen you six fucking years and then
the rest of the like day and a half before i saw you again on site i was like he hates me hates me
i fuck he thinks i bailed on him and i just created this whole falsehood of like i fucked
up i should have said hi dude she said hi do you even remember any
of you even remember seeing that of course what i do well i don't remember exactly how you remember
it but i do remember going back to my room and crying myself to sleep when he just when he just
like what is it punches pilot when he's like i don't know who jesus is like you sure you don't
know that guy is like i've never seen him before in my life i i looked at you and I said, that's Tommy Pope. I haven't seen him in
a long, long time. I'm sure we could
Oh, and he just turned away and
that's it. There he goes.
Also, our Buffalo week was
fucking great. I opened for him
in Buffalo and there's not much to do in
Buffalo. There's nothing to do.
Well, it depends what time of year, I guess.
I mean, every time I've gone
every time I've gone. Yeah. I've gone, it's terrible.
Although, yeah, if I can get like a game,
if there's a day hockey game or something, I'll do that.
And then they built that casino across the street.
Well, it takes a while for like...
The casino, I don't think, was there.
No, it was not.
It was not.
They didn't even have the...
I think they just got the stadium up for the...
Yeah, it was like, yeah.
There was no entertainment anywhere.
A shittier Buffalo, if you can imagine that.
Yeah, the coolest part about being there
is you'd be like
oh it smells like
Trix or something
it's like General Mills
General Mills
is right next door
yeah
oh my god
it smells like that cereal
it does though
I guess I'll go back
to the hotel
and fucking jerk off
and go to sleep
yeah
that's really
welcome to Buffalo
now you're Pavlov's dog
every time you
you're like
Trix you to beat off
Jesus
It's four o'clock in the afternoon
My nephew's eating tricks
I got to fucking hammer out
Yeah no
General Mills is there
And that's it
And they got the Buffalo Braves
They had a baseball team
Have you ever gone on summer
They have that
So I don't remember
If it was Saturday night
Or Friday night
Do you remember this story
We went to the bar Yeah we found I don't remember which night was Saturday night or Friday night. Do you remember this story? We went to the bar.
Yeah, we found out.
I don't remember which night it was, though.
Yeah.
It must have been, whatever.
It was definitely Friday or Saturday, because Thursday night, I didn't fuck with you at all.
Yeah.
Because I didn't know you.
You were crushing in the league.
You know what?
I was filming a special, and like two weeks after, like two weeks, so I was getting ready
for that.
So I was on like that sort of like, I know this hour works kick, but I'm also sort of like in the kind of like fine tuning and mentally like
trying to figure out what's what.
Yeah.
So like,
yeah,
the first night,
but then like after that,
I was like,
Oh,
I know this thing works.
You don't know how you're going to mesh with,
yeah.
With the headliner.
And also I'm not one to be like prying.
And he was lying on a couch like this with his headphones in.
And I walked in and he was like,
he immediately looked at me like, yeah. was like i'm high i'm time then i just shut the door
i was like do not fuck with that dude he's he's serious do not fuck with him he's in his own yeah
and then we hit it off too tiny to be yeah yeah yeah it's like one door so anyway
the second show's over friday night or saturday night we find this fucking dive and i mean like
dive it's a real it was a real dive it's not like a bar it's buffalo so i don't have to explain the second show's over, Friday night or Saturday night, we find this fucking dive. And I mean like dive.
It was.
It was a real dive.
It's not like a bar.
It's Buffalo.
So I don't have to explain this.
It's a shithole bar with shithole people.
And it was perfect.
Because we didn't want to go anywhere around that area or whatever.
And we started throwing darts.
And we get approached by a couple locals.
And the guy's like,
you want to play darts? And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I looked at him. Yeah, we were all right with it. Let's play some darts and we get we get approached by a couple locals and the guy's like you want to play darts
and i was like yeah yeah i looked at him yeah we were all right with it yeah let's play some darts
yeah we want to fit in yeah the first game we're fucking cruising we're just cruising second game
what was we're playing we're playing bull right yeah i don't remember i didn't remember the story
till you reminded me it's gang fest yeah Yeah, okay. Let me fucking remind you.
And this is also why I got weird about the first time I saw you.
So what's it called?
Cricket?
Cricket, yeah.
So we're playing cricket.
Yeah, you got to knock out all the things.
Yeah, and we're smoking, dude.
We're just like, fuck, we're on point.
18th triple.
Yeah, dude.
No joke.
Going for the 18.
Oops, I hit the 15 triple.
Big fucking deal.
Knocked that off the board.
Like after the first couple of those throws, we stopped like giving high fives we're just like nice give
me yeah like it was just like fucking in motion and the second game the guy's like you want to
put some money down and then i looked at him i was like oh fuck these guys are hustling this
this is their bar they knew everybody they were like k carol do more miller lights like it was
like he would scream that
From the dartboard
It was like
This is their little den
Of garbage
And
The second game
The boys were still
Fucking dealing
We were dealing
Yeah fucking
Lacing them
But now
They're catching up
So it's close
It's going neck and neck
Are you playing open
Or you have to go in order
No open
Do you remember
Yeah no you gotta
Open
You can go any number you want.
You can get all the three bulls.
All right.
I always leave the bulls for last because I don't like to fuck with that.
And you're not supposed to.
I think you're supposed to go bull first in the off chance it hits one of the numbers on the outskirts.
If it's open, for sure.
Yeah, yeah, you're supposed to do that.
But I was very confident from the previous game.
And this is how they get you, these little hustlers.
And we get down to basically even.
We need two bulls.
They have two bulls.
We have one.
One open.
We have one.
Yeah.
And it's our last group toss.
Dude, when I tell you, this is one of the greatest.
Is there a bigger moment?
Successful moments of my fucking life, dude.
I'm not kidding you.
This is etched in my memory
forever he hits a fucking red or green i don't know if it was me or you it was it was a green
red combo back to back needed one more bull to knock these cocksuckers off boom Boom. Dude, I leapt into his arms.
When I say,
when I say,
we won the Stanley Cup.
When they,
if the Bills win the Super Bowl,
they will not party and celebrate the World League.
They will not celebrate like that.
Yeah.
Dude,
I literally jumped in his arms
and I'm like,
like this way,
front.
Dude.
We're like jumping
and doing circles.
This dude was furious.
He tried to fight us.
Yeah.
He tried to fight us.
And because we showed,
we did not mean to do what we did,
but that's why we celebrated the way that we did.
Yeah.
And all of it bothered the fuck out of him.
Right now, this dude is still cleaning his gun
about these two city sleepers that came to my town
and took out my dart dude.
And yeah, and it's like, you know,
we didn't really, I don't think we hung for too much longer after that but it was
remarkable that was the way the weekend went you go in a hostile territory you pull out a win like
that what's better dude there's nothing better i went home that may be a bubble hockey win so
as a feature i was getting paid uh fifty thousand dollars yeah don't fucking talk yeah i'm talking about this yeah a hundred bucks a show it's getting
six hundred dollars for the weekend and you have to find your own lodging so i was i found the
cheapest lodging that was was not far away oh my god you stayed in like a hellhole it was an old
convent yes an old convent that was renovated but the a nun still ran it. What got you more turned on, that or the airport?
Dude, at five in the morning,
so we'd get in at like three, four in the morning.
At five, you'd hear a bucket on wheels like a fucking horror movie.
Going down marble floors like ours
and just hear,
and it would go,
and just go down the entire length of the hallway.
And I would just sit there.
And I have to sleep with a noisemaker.
It has to be like a powerful fan or some shit to block out my own bullshit.
And I can just hear this woman getting closer and closer to my fucking door with this mop.
And you could see like the hairs of the mop swing under the uncut door.
It was just the scariest fucking shit.
You sure it wasn't her pussy?
Dragging on the floor?
I was wearing a turtleneck that night, dude.
Anyway, that was the only night I slept contently
because I was like,
that was the greatest moment of my fucking life,
winning darts like that.
It was unbelievable.
I mean, yeah.
To do something in someone else's house like that as well,
and not get fucking beat up about it.
Did you guys have to skate?
Or did you walk out of there on the skates?
No, I think it was like a thing where we were sort of like,
we didn't Fonzie our way out of it.
We weren't like, we're too cool for this fucking place.
No, no, no, no.
I think that's why we stuck around for probably one or two more beers.
So that didn't look weird.
And we had pickup trucks chasing us down a fucking alley.
Dude, that city, I've been to a couple bars there.
There's this place, Mother's, that's, I've been to a couple bars there. There's this place,
Mother's,
that's open late night.
They do food and stuff.
One time I was eating
and Jack Eichel,
he's a hockey player up there,
he bought me dinner.
I had no idea he was in the bar.
That was like the second or third time,
but nothing's ever been
as cool as fucking Plow.
I'm not a dart player at all.
I don't even play.
That was the exciting part about it.
But,
I go to a green room.
But,
I'm an athlete. Yeah. You're also bringing that energy to it. You're like, I don't even play. That was the exciting part about it. But, like if I go to a green room. But, I'm an athlete.
Yeah.
But if I get.
You're also bringing that energy to it.
You're like,
I don't even play before.
The only time I played,
like I,
I,
when I shot Mall Cop,
we were in Boston for four months.
And so,
after like the first week,
they figured out,
we were shooting in a mall.
But,
there was,
did you know that?
The whole thing takes place in a mall.
Is there a cop?
That's weird. Yeah, this cop, he fucking patrol that the whole thing takes place in a mall? That's weird.
Yeah, this cop, he fucking patrols the whole mall, if you believe it, one person.
I wouldn't be able to build a studio.
We were shooting out, like we were staying downtown Boston.
We were shooting like at a mall like 20 minutes away.
And they realized after the first week that shooting with Kevin during the day wasn't probably the best idea
because, you know, we would shut down a part of the mall.
But like the rest of the mall, people would staring looking down there's a pretty big mall like two
floors so then they were like all right what we'll do is we'll bring kevin in like 4 4 30 people start
to wean out and then we'll have him shoot his stuff with you guys send you home and then he
does all his like you know stuff at night when no one's there so basically our schedule turned
into noon to like seven o'clock. Greatest work hours ever.
Because we got back to the hotel, shower, eat dinner.
And then me and Kier O'Donnell went to this fucking bar in Boston every night.
Hanging out, drinking beers, hanging out.
Before you know it, they have darts.
We'd start to just play darts.
Then the next night, we'd play a little more.
The next thing you know, we'd watch people play.
A month into the movie shoot, Kier and I are now signed up for this Bars tournament.
And we not only played the tournament.
We did all right.
We didn't win.
We competed and finished.
Like, the movie finished.
We were like, when's the movie finished?
Because we have a tournament to end.
It was like it became as important as the movie doing well. You start fucking up lines so they have to reshoot.
It was like we always always like sometimes it was like
all right we're gonna run to like kevin's gotta do this thing so we're gonna flip flop scenes
flip flop scenes i'm like whoa whoa whoa i've got to be at the bar by nine okay so i don't know what
kevin's got going on in his life but these fucking darts aren't gonna shoot themselves like fucking
money do you get the pain after like like if you throw for two hours do you
get this i i probably throw wrong but i just fucking i go risk yeah dude i'm a wrister i'm a
wrister beer palms i'm a jump shooter so everything in my life comes from this motion right here just
flick that wrist and watch the ball go in my brother here should not move my brother's best friend, RIP, taught me how to throw a dart.
And we did ecstasy.
Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania.
Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania.
Yeah, Polish American Club.
Okay.
We took ecstasy in a Polish American Club.
We went back to his apartment, which is around the corner.
And downstairs, dude, he was the best.
He had a fucking wall that looked like the forest.
And then we would just smoke golf balls into the drywall. that was like our warm-up for like a sports night that's a good
idea yeah smoke him into the fucking just fucking ripping holes into the drywall because it looked
like a fairway yeah so anyway it's a mall there's a cop sorry we're gonna cut that so we the the
fucking thing starts
Starts hitting
He's telling me how to throw a dart
He's like you don't
You don't go forward
You have to
You have to change your
Your foot position
So that you take out
All your hips
And your
Your knee movement
So just like you said
All you're doing is positioning
This
From a 12 o'clock
To a 6 o'clock
To a 3 o'clock
To a 9 o'clock
It's the same exact strength
Yep
Every number So that every time It never changes whereas before if you throw a dart you're facing
as opposed to basically you throw like this as opposed to this you're shutting all that off yeah
you're you're stopping your lower body from moving yeah he was putting chalk marks on the board
i was like two or three pills of xcn he would take the tip of a chalk and put it in either the thick part,
the double or the triple.
Really?
I'm not kidding you.
For 20, 30 minutes straight.
Just hitting the fucking chalk.
Just dealing.
Wow.
Life changer.
And you were more impressed
with my performance then.
I was.
You should be, dude.
I was, dude.
Remember I sent you like six photos
for like three weeks.
But then, remember?
Remember? The second time I saw you
When we actually talked
At Skank Fest
You weren't on any drugs
I was doing
Matt and Shane's podcast
I like ran into you
And I was like
I'll talk to you later
And then a day and a half
Goes by there
But no drugs though
That time right
No
Okay
No that was sober
What did I call you
No nothing
I mean
You almost threw me
Off the balcony
No it's It's like wild.
By the way, that's where I saw Saget that night, too.
I heard.
Yeah.
Yeah, I heard.
He came the next day, too.
I didn't see him at all that night.
Yeah.
Fuck.
I think he might have been in there.
Yeah, no, that was.
He did Ari's podcast.
Probably.
Is that where you saw him?
That's where I saw him that day.
I think it was the next day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Damn, dude.
That's fucked up.
It really is.
Fuck.
I hate this shit. Did you know him? Because not really. really i mean but you knew him the way like you know like the comedy story
come in say hello he's fucking nice and cool like not one of those people you're like oh fuck
you know yeah some of the old timers show up and you're like god almighty yeah yeah he was always
like awesome you can't talk about any bad stories right i mean i don't have any stories really with him no not with him i mean like dudes that you're like oh fuck i mean there's
some of these fucking guys used to show up like they were still like 78 or 83 you know age no
like 1983 it was like oh you know like they were the hot shit yeah yeah and like they're you know
and the complaining about not getting spots well, why am I not getting spots?
Well, you close with singing Walking in Memphis.
I mean, I don't know what you want me to fucking tell you.
You were in a movie in the 80s that was huge.
I'm not going to say the guy's name, Barry Diamond, but it's like, give me a fucking break.
You sing Walking in Memphis now.
That's how he closes it.
Not as a joke.
Wait, no, genuinely singing?
Genuinely sang the fucking song.
Oh, no, man.
Yeah.
Did he do a good job?
And then four non-blondes.
If I say hey, yeah, yeah.
No.
I'm not kidding, Tommy.
But what was the purpose of this?
Nothing.
To sell albums that he would stand outside and sell the album then outside and the fucking
in the, you know, where you walk in and buy the tickets.
Wait, wait, wait.
Is this like a dual album
where he's singing genuinely
and then also there's comedy?
I don't know.
I never asked him about the album,
but I always assumed
the fucking singing
was to sell the album.
He didn't do any,
I mean,
he did a little jokes
in the beginning,
but I'm like,
if this is a comedy album,
what the fuck are you singing for?
Right.
Oh my God.
Dude,
yeah.
Did he change the lyrics at all?
Just.
No,
he sang the songs like that was, he was there to do. Yeah. Straight up, it... Yeah, so, like... He didn't change the lyrics at all? Just... No! He sang the songs like that was...
He was there to do.
Yeah.
Straight up karaoke.
Karaoke, yes.
With a...
You know, the sound guy would play, like, the backing track.
Yeah.
And that, you know, he would bring for him.
The first night of Skankfest was the karaoke night, where it was, like, a hodgepodge group
of comics and some hardcore fans, and that's where we got the mushers.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Well, that rule, that was fun it was fun but if someone was doing that as their act
oh yeah you'd kill them in an alley did you any of your family think you were at astroland
my mom the next yes she's like are you okay and i was like kind of yeah why
like what you know what do you mean normal or yeah and then uh she's like this dickhead italian
she's like you're at that festival in houston right i was like yes sir i am i'm like i am here
she's like whoa how many i mean they was i just started on the news and i was like what the fuck
you know yeah i didn't know anything else was going on yeah i only did because we walked the
streets and saw all the installations they had going up. I only saw people in the hotel with the lanyards around them.
You know, like, I just thought they were all Skankfest people.
You mean on...
Wow.
Like, they have a lot of Asian fans, these Legion of Skanks.
I've never seen so many Asian people before.
Well, it's clearly, you know, a mixed bag of fans that would never be at Skankfest.
When it got canceled
on Saturday,
all the hotels
and bars were packed
with all these kids
that were...
Oh, it was supposed
to be at Astroland?
Yeah, it was Friday,
Saturday,
and Skankfest
started Thursday.
And then when the thing
happened Friday night,
Saturday was canceled.
They canceled
the rest of the shows.
Well, they weren't all
packed, the bars.
There were like 10
or 12 people missing.
Yeah.
You know? Yep. It's tough weren't all packed, the bars. There were like 10 or 12 people missing. Yeah. You know?
Yep.
It's tough.
Yeah.
You gotta do it.
You gotta do it.
I'm thinking to myself, I had no idea this thing was going on there.
And I'm going, I was proud of Skank Fest.
And I was like, you drew against 100,000 people at Astroland.
And I was like oh shit and
then Travis Scott is done
now he's not even I don't
think he's allowed to
perform anymore is that
true no I mean I don't
think he has since then
well they canceled the
tour yeah well he's
probably gonna start a new
album he can't yeah but I
mean like the album there's
no reason to what like I
guess like to when though
I guess the lawsuit is
over the lawsuit was like three
billion dollars to all it's not done yet either crazy yeah it's gonna last for years is he exposed
to that or is that just i don't know it's a live nation they said like yeah whatever the people
they said uh they said they were the way he reacted when first responders were there telling him to stop
the music, stop
enticing these people to come forward,
stop going towards the front
row, which still had a gap, but at the same time
he had no... You can't possibly
know the severity of the situation.
I think he's incited it before. That was their problem
with it. He's been like, come on, we can push
the limits of this shit. I think he also
did interrupt his set
A couple times
To like be like
Hey those are paramedics
Can you just
Really
Let them go
To get him through
Yeah there was a couple
TMZ videos
Yeah I think it was bad
I think he fucked up
Yeah
Oh man
I think he fucked up
Kind of bad
Yeah the first responders
Couldn't get through
Yeah
They would just like
Cut him off
But you know
Who knows
Good thing he's got
That Kardashian money
To lean back on
Yeah dude
He's fine
He put those
Anchor babies
In Kendall Jenner
Or whatever her name is
Yeah
Is that the only one
That doesn't look like her
Kylie
Yeah she's
Whatever the hot one is
The hottest one
Well it's in Most Natural
That's why she's beautiful
Caitlyn
Which is the hottest one
I don't remember her name
How's he doing
She's great I think
I don't know
Caitlyn Jenner
Yeah
She's not even the top. I don't know. Caitlyn Jenner? Yeah.
She's not even the top. I find her charming.
Top five.
You know who the top is right now?
The one on Jeopardy.

She's lights out.
I'm getting in.
Dude, I'm in on that.
Dude, I watch Jeopardy every night.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Can we edit that out, too?
I'd rather have said the n-word than
say that anyway but i love it so 45 and then he said 64 i was like sitting there and i'm like i'm
watching and i'm like man this woman is not attractive and then i like she kept winning
when you found like you know you were like i think i know but i want to wait till fucking homeboy
you know ken jennings says it first yeah and then you know
the news came out women's history but i'm saying like did they address they didn't address not yet
and you would think 28 conversations you know they have to have those little fucking rights
28 times they don't push that on them because then it's a whole nother agenda they're gonna
have to like i would battle it no no they do it like when i was on my little league team like
there's been some stuff about like like, you know, like.
So she's saying it openly.
She's saying, like, you know.
Like, clearly.
Yeah, like, clearly.
Because you guys aren't talking about it.
I'm going to make it apparent to the point where you have to talk about it.
Yeah, but I mean, like, no one's been like, what, what, what.
You know, like, he hasn't got, like.
I think if she wins, like, 50, you have to get to the point where it's like, do you have nuts still?
Like, you know, like.
Yeah.
Do you still have nuts?
Yeah.
Because. Is your piece. They've got to smuggle it into the. Like, what are you looking to get? Like, you know, do you still have nuts? Yeah. Is your piece.
They've got to smuggle it into the.
Like, what are you looking to get?
Like, how far are you going into?
Like, because, you know, and you don't have to do it as crass as I just did.
Yeah, it's not weightlifting.
He'll do it Ken Jennings way, you know.
Just make it one of the categories.
Yes.
Are you going to?
And then, like, for 200, cut your dick off.
You see that T-Bone playing rugby and just smoking girls?
No.
Oh, it's unbelievable.
But she's playing with girls.
Yeah.
But she was born a guy.
It's the only problem I have.
It's the only problem you could possibly have.
I think, yeah.
I mean, it's like you're going to compete against.
Yeah.
And there's another one that broke the deadlift record.
That's never been.
Was she in the Olympics?
She definitely had testosterone. She's probably the Was she in the Olympics? She definitely had...
She's probably the only one
with testosterone in her
the whole life.
It wasn't Olympic.
It may have been trials
or something, but...
Yeah, it's all gonna get...
She was like,
yeah, I'll join this fucking league.
Yeah.
And then just broke everything.
Dude, let me tell you something.
I'll go into the WNBA right now.
I still have it.
Here's my point.
You and I
have thrown a couple of wigs
and we're playing the dart leagues
in Great Britain for the ladies.
Did you ever watch it?
480!
It's so fucking psyched.
Did you ever watch it?
I can get it.
340!
And it's the fattest
slovenly dudes ever.
And they are fucking money.
They hold pints.
Yeah.
And there's no room in the
in like the triple
category for a third
dart and there's like
and you ever a bit
yeah even deadly
accurate they don't
celebrate as much as
bowlers do I love I
love the fucking
yeah the brashness of
bowlers now yeah the
one that goes fucking
crazy I'm the best
I am yeah like who
do you think you are
I am he brings it to
like the wrestling level

a dark guy out there that brings it to the wrestling level.
We definitely did.

We'll be like the British Bulldogs and fucking come out there.
Tag team.
Fucking intercontinental champs.
Yes, dude.
Fuck.
Yes, dude.
Dude, I literally wrapped my legs around you like one of those rubber duckies.

We were close to it.
Pick three like that?
Yeah, dude.
In Buffalo?
In Buffalo.
Yeah.
Away.
It was an away playoff game, dude.
We didn't even know the board.
In the snow.
And these guys are trying to fucking shark him.
Was that new cork?
I didn't even ask him.
Is that seasoned cork?
Were they feather darts or was it the metal ones?
Bro, I didn't even remember this happened until you told me.
Okay?
You told me we got abducted by these guys.
If you told me we lost and they beat us up,
I'd be like, fuck you.
That was the worst night of my life.
Yeah, I fucking ruled, dude.
Fuck yeah, man.
I'm glad we got to reconnect, though.
Yes, dude.
Yeah, now you're stuck.
No, I'm fine.
Does that thing open up?
I just looked at it for a second. was like waiting stuff like Ellen show like you
gonna pop out Gillis is gonna pop out of that Jesus you somehow managed to kick
the camera yeah that's why I removed the carpet because he would push the ottoman
oh into the camera somehow figure this I'm a way are we still in it yeah he's somehow figured it out. Are we still in it? Yeah.
He somehow figured it out.
What a dork.
Well, it's right next to my foot.
I was trying to show him the box that doesn't open.
You didn't have to kick the camera, though.
Do you want to promote anything?
You want to try that again?
We actually have to promote this.
What is it?
Upper Pass Beer Company.
We don't have to promote it.
AJ, I would like to. He sent us a nice fucking... Oh, it's a case of beer? Yeah don't have to promote. AJ, I would like to.
He sent us a nice fucking...
Oh, it's a case of beer?
Yeah, you should promote it.

And Uncle Ron's Candle Company sent us some stuff, too.
Nice.
Yeah, we're kicking off, dude.
You don't know.
We're fucking...
Let me tell you something right now.
We're fucking crushing.
You start with cans and beer.
I mean, candles and beer?
Yes, dude.
The fucking sky's the limit.
You have no idea.
That's how Rogan started.
Yes. Candles and beer. Yeah. And then next thing you Yes, dude. The fucking sky's the limit. You have no idea. That's how Rogan started. Yes.
Yes.
Candles and beer.
Yeah.
And then next thing you know, he's got a fucking empire, dude.
Human spices.
Now he's selling fucking ivermectin online.
He's got Joe Rogan ivermectin.
You guys will get there one day, dude.
You got there.
You guys will get there.
I'm not worried about it.
We're having a fucking blast, to be honest with you.
Dude, have fun with it.
That's all.
I don't care what happens with it. I promote shows i have a podcast that's what i'll promote
yeah say that it's called what's the odds with steve ren is easy we do it usually thursdays
or fridays most times fridays because gambling we'd usually we tie into gambling now with football
so uh it's easier with covid to do it later in the week closer to the fucking games we were making
picks on tuesday we were doing it. Yeah. And by Thursday,
we looked like assholes.
The line had fucking flipped
the other way.
Yes.
And we're like,
God damn it,
the Ravens are a lot this week.
Next thing you know,
fucking Lamar Jackson
and Andrews is out.
You know,
Harbaugh's got AIDS
and everyone's done
and we lose by 50 points.
But this is big.
We talked about this
very briefly
before the show started,
but New York being able to bet
Yeah I've already lost
My first bet
Yeah
It's fucking huge
Yeah
In a good way
In a bad way
For a lot of people
It was always a hassle
I could always do
The Draft Kings
Or like
I do the
You know fantasy
And stuff like that
That was always legal
I don't know how
They got the loophole
Through that
But they did
And then
You know now
With the sports book
As of Saturday It's's like, fuck.
Anytime.
Literally last night, I was like seeing,
I was like, oh, the game starts in like two minutes.
Alabama and the over.
Give me fucking 100 bucks.
Let me take home 380.
Bingo, bango.
And I fucking lost.
Fucking week one, down in the dumps.
Yeah, dude, but that's a bad start
For other reasons
Like college football
You know
You think Alabama's
Gonna win no matter what
They dominate the
I don't
I don't fuck with college football
Because of that reason
I don't
I couldn't fuck with
Any of this right now
With COVID and stuff
Like I don't know how you
How you
Like I'm making
Kind of what I feel
But like
It doesn't matter
If the best player
Can't play that day Yeah Are you a Giants fan? Yeah Oh I'm making kind of what I feel, but, like, it doesn't matter if the best player can't play that day.
Yeah.
Are you a Giants fan?
Yeah.
Oh, I'm so sorry, dude.
I didn't want to end like that.
I know, but.
What is Giants?
Dude, you know what?
Honestly, I'm going to tell you something right now, and I don't even give a fuck if you end this, if you beat me up.
But I didn't realize on Sunday that the fucking Eagles had already made the playoffs.
I thought they had to beat the fucking Cowboys to make the playoffs.
And the fact that they were already in made me hate the Giants even more.
I go, I think the Eagles are the fucking worst.
Okay?
They don't deserve.
They are.
I'm looking at the Eagles like at least the Eagles are around in the NFC East
to make us look fucking.
And they make the fucking playoffs.
And we got to sit here mired in shit.
And they went and fired fucking...
Oh, no.
I'm sorry.
They didn't fire him.
He resigned.
The cunt resigned.
He should be taken out and beaten with fucking sticks.
And the fact that the Eagles are in the playoffs, good luck.
Steve.
Yeah, what did you think of that?
Can you sneak on 39?
You know what I smell in the air when you look this angry and upset?
What?
Fruit loops.
Yeah, I know. I'm going to jerk off in the air when you look this angry and upset? What? Fruit loops. Yeah, I know.
I'm going to jerk off in the fucking corner over here.
That looks like a pretty nice area to do it.
Yeah, it is. Get Wi-Fi over there.
First of all, I won't get clean.
No, but I...
Yeah, I'm a Giants fan.
It sucks.
What's the next steps?
Do you like Daniel Jones?
No.
Get rid of everyone, dude.
Get rid of the coach.
That's a start. Hire the coach that's a that's a star
higher the Seattle's blowing
up yeah we'll take the GM
and Russell Wilson for one of our first draft
picks and you can have everybody else yeah
start over here make the Seahawks
East or yeah build a
defense I thought they were gonna be great to be
honest and let Russell Wilson right off into the
Giants I thought they were gonna beat the fuck out
of us consistently I had good feelings about Danieliel jones so do i well he's
daniel jones is like three out of ten he has spectacular games yeah yeah but then you watch
justin herbert yeah we could have had you know i'm saying like that's the point like they're all
the people you could have had but getting back to my overall point if if aaron rogers and the packers are in the Super Bowl like everybody thinks they're going to be,
are you still going to take them over the Chiefs if that day Aaron Rodgers pops positive and he can't play?
That's what I'm saying.
You can make all the bets you want.
Yeah.
Let me tell you something.
But it could all go away.
I'm not taking the fucking Packers if Locke or whatever the fucking backup's name is.
Yeah, Andrew.
These teams are going to be 100% COVID free for the playoffs.
100%.
I have a feeling.
Really?
You don't think they're going to?
No, I think there's probably an agreement among the league members going like,
let's, even if you have one, it's not fair to drop 10 players.
Then we can't move the schedule.
Because now you're starting to impede upon March Madness, right?
It's not going. No one's pushing college basketball right now and that's their big bang month is the middle of february all the way through march yep this is when football has to
shut the fuck up and go away if you keep doing this you're gonna have to then reschedule like
nba did where it's like all right tuesday's game is now sunday when they're important games yeah
but the real hush hush yeah but the NFL knows that they
like we'll play games in July and you'll watch
them yeah I know
but I know I'm saying I don't
think they want to do that they don't definitely don't
want to they definitely don't want to post the revenues
I do know that they're looking for because it's
in LA this year they are looking at like
alternative sites because if
they can't do it a full capacity in LA
then it's like we're not doing Super Bowl bowl there and of course jerry jones is like come on down here every yeah yeah if you if
you have a uh orgy that you you know we're planning on doing but then it got call jerry jones he'll
let you do it down in that fucking ship down there his oil tycoon tees yeah oh that whole fucking
all of it i can't wait till that guy i'm gonna fucking tailgate that i have a lot
of owners i want dead before him mostly james dolan but most of the most of them own the teams
i love but dude if you gave me a genie georgia who'd be dead if you gave me genie no no i my
one wish would be for steinbrenner to come back to life so I could see him die a second time. Oh my God.
That's for that giant,
that giant eagle's comment.
He's obviously a Yankee fan.
This is,
I wanted to see if he was a Yankee or a Met fan.
Yeah.
The man.
He's a Yankee fan. I was so excited to come back.
I was like,
to run the fucking ship again,
to get this,
to straighten this fucking thing out.
And you're like,
to die again.
And you don't remember who I am, dude.
I get it.
He ruined baseball.
That motherfucker ruined baseball.
Who ruined baseball?
Steinbrenner.
He tried.
He tried to ruin baseball.
He did.
But then it ruined itself.
Yeah, well, a little bit.
Steroids.
Steroids was the best part of it.
That helped itself out. A hundred percent. Dude, I want a metal bat. Steroids. Steroids was the best part of it. That helped itself out.
100%.
Dude, I won a metal bat home run derby.
Really?
Yes.
Can you imagine?
What was this?
Steroids?
Yes, dude.
Launch him out of the fucking stadium.
What were you on, Winstroll?
Wait, did you say you want a metal bat?
Yeah, the pros.
I thought you said I want to.
I go, what were you on, Winstroll? Were you on the cream and the clear? Yeah, the pros. I thought you said I won too. I go, were you on Winstrel?
Were you on the cream and the clear?
No, no, no.
No, hear me out.
You know how like the three-point contest for the NBA?
Yeah.
They have the money ball after the 10th ball.
You know what I mean?
The last round of the pitching for a professional home run derby,
medal bat time.
You line up the nets all the way down the line
all the way to the
fair foul pole
and let these boys
fucking rip
you know what the best part is
here's the best part
just don't let Tommy do it
right
he pitches it to the
major league baseball
right in the skull
and then all of a sudden
you know when they have
all those kids
stay shagged
fly balls that don't make it
one kid's gonna come
running up the middle
and fucking Aaron Judge
is gonna pull one
with a fucking clay bat
or a de-marini
that this guy
just got off
fucking
the back of a boat
and the kid's head
is gonna shoot off
and go over the fence
and they're gonna
count it as a home run
it would be a complete
JFK in the back
of the fucking
in Dallas
like their heads
would explode
but you gotta take the kids off,
put a second net for the pitcher.
It's going the reverse now, dude.
My son's travel baseball.
He's 10.
Out of every five tournaments,
one or two of them is wooden bats.
And that's the way it should be.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
You got to get them used to that now.
Yeah, yeah.
Also, the medals,
it's reasonable for like building confidence
and stuff oh dude there's there are bats eastern mako which this is the most specific thing you
want to get fucking specific on this podcast again this you buy a 2015 eastern mako they're
called carrots go look one up when you're done on sidelineswap.com that's not a plug
we don't fucking allow that we don't allow allow that. But they go for 220 bucks.
The year after, it's like 100.
But there was something about whatever they made that year,
the Eastern Mako's carrots because they're orange.
They look like –
I had one of those.
My son –
I had to go get one for 10U, 11U because that's going to be the bad.
It's like a bongo batter.
And you buy –
I bought it online used because –
and the guys are like, look, this's got good a lot of hits left in
it and i could probably sell mine after he's done as long as he doesn't fuck it up for like 250
bucks i'm not kidding you it's got a lot of hits left yeah i used that bright orange bat was my
first home run really yeah the two very first home run i think it was like six or seven live pitch
eastern 2015 eastern makos look them up they're called carrots holy fuck and they they just maybe It was like six or seven live pitch. Eastern 2015.
Eastern Makos.
Look them up.
They're called carrots.
Holy fuck.
And they just.
Maybe it was just a spray paint bat.
Everyone's got one.
Like all.
If you can find them, they're fucking great.
It's all about the bat.
Yeah.
Building confidence at that level.
When you get to the bottom line.
You got to hit.
Right.
You got to hit.
You got to hit.
Just like I hit bullseyes, dude.
You guys. We. What do you mean? I hit bullseyes, dude. You guys.
