Let me see if you can go up there and see if you can see the zip through that
camera.
No,
I can't.
First of all,
I got to jump to the other side of the couch.
I boxed myself in.
We're in real.
Yeah.
This is episode.
This is technically,
this is episode two.
Yeah.
Which is our,
and it's our third recording of episode two because we tried.
The second.
Well, we gave it, I think, two tries.
Yeah, the second.
No, no, I think the night we were hammered, we gave it two tries.
No, we filmed both hours.
No, we filmed three hours.
We didn't film the third hour.
The third hour was us conversing, and you told me we're filming, and you're keeping yeah i said no we're not yeah yeah you're like it's good okay well there's a third
hour out there yeah and believe me we need content so it's gonna find its way come hell or high water
it's gonna find its way to the people i bet it's gonna be our first fight first fight on air yeah
no it'll be off it'll be off it's fine all fair it'll just what do you know i'm looking
right at your eyes right in my fucking no no i'm not i want to tell me is that a zit that will not
go away is that tell me is that a zit for four weeks yeah it's no it's been three easy i feel
like it was pre-skank fest no no are you sure yes it's all the chemicals dude every every
trying to come out of my pores every time you've said i got a goddamn zit, it's been in the same spot.
I've probably been talking about the same one.
That's what I'm saying.
It's been a month.
It's been a fucking month.
Let me explain this to you.
I'm not a back sleeper because I'm not a psychopath.
If you sleep on your back quietly and calmly for hours, you're a fucking maniac.
Well, then I'm a maniac, dude.
No shit.
What do you think, the setup is by accident
i knew this is gonna hit you hard you fuck dude i'll sleep literally oh yeah like a vampire
well you know what yeah vampires are crazy you know what it comes from is uh peacefulness i
don't trust no no no it's not peacefulness it's it's fear it's from it's from sleeping it's like
because i've i over the course of my drinking, I've gotten hammered in a lot of places.
I've gotten hammered. It usually comes out of my mouth drinking. Yeah. I literally have gotten
hammered so many times and slept so many places. I shouldn't be like, like, like a kid throws a
party at his house and I don't even know the kid. And it's, it's a two towns over and I find a secret room and I sleep in it.
Yeah.
And, uh, I just, I always, I feel like that's the least offensive way to sleep.
Yeah.
Like if you, if you walk into a room and someone who isn't supposed to be sleeping at your
house is sleeping just like on their back, kind of like, it's like clean.
Cops.
Right.
But if, if I had one leg out and was like totally
just slovenly on the bed
or the couch.
Well, now you're being
disrespectful to me.
I don't,
I'm still tight and tidy.
I just go to the side.
And listen,
here's what the zit's about.
It's in a specific location.
So I have sleep lines.
That's what happens
when you sleep on your sides.
So like when I watch.
Sleep lines?
Yeah, yeah.
When I watch television,
when I watch The Sopranos,
you see these fat dagos
and they'll have a line going from here to here,
maybe on one side.
You know that guy sleeps on his left, right?
So if this line is on this side,
I get one line this way.
But I have double lines
because I flop all night long.
This is the second crazy face line theory
that you've dropped. it's not a theory
it's true i know it's pretty it's from smushing your face against the pillow women with smoking
yeah smoking yeah you see a woman that has little creases in her lips it's from smoking cigarettes
for 40 fucking years man they must be so tight on the cigarette yeah you want that you got to
pull hard yeah they're very expensive you got to get what you can. I never even, I just thought it's like, hey, that's just how some people get old that way.
I had no, I've never looked at someone's face and been like, well, this is why I want to
tell you this.
Cause it's going to change the way you, you, you view.
This is like a Sherlock Holmes thing.
You know, when they do like a graphic thing and they're like sleep lines on his left,
he sleeps on his left.
It's one of the things
i've learned that i wanted i want to implant into other people's minds because it took up so much
so much of my mind when i now view a stranger or someone on television i'm like oh he just
he sleeps that way and he'll have a crease this way you're like god it's weird and then i visualize
that person sleeping in their own bed
when I'm watching a show like Peaky Blinders.
The guy sleeps on his left before every show.
It's such a strange thing, but it's true.
Anyway, this zit is like a perfect volcanic situation
where I'm smushing the island just underneath of it.
So the pressure is constantly there.
When you have a zit, normally sleep time is like, lay off it.
Don't touch it.
I'm constantly touching it with just my face being on a pillow.
So what I'm saying is this will be here forever.
There's dust mites on your forehead studying.
This is like the geological nature of this area of the forehead is crazy.
I wish you were like a Stanley Kubrick you were like a stanley kubrick level
like psycho genius director yeah and just give makeup you just take director out of that i think
i'm back i hit all just making people's like makeup artists lives like miserable it's like no
this character sleeps on his left yeah we have to have a great to make a crease yeah
detail matters i understand how crazy it sounds but it's it's legit this is this is this is the
linchpin to the whole story yeah yeah yeah but it's a look back you know it's like a hidden
hidden morsel it was a sleep lines no one's gonna believe it no one's gonna believe this
yeah like a fucking no but it's annoying it's annoying what are you gonna do because i pride
myself is there a thing you can do on that can you put like new skin over that or something
new skin yeah like a like a piece of flesh it's still gonna be a fucking bump
no new skin is a product new skin's a product it's like thing that you, I think sometimes you put them over like a wound.
No, usually I just.
It's like, it's like a, it's like,
it's like made by like 3M.
It can like breathe, but it's still.
I have a, I have a makeup stick.
I stole from my mother like 20 years ago.
It's still going on.
Makeup's not going to do it here.
It covers it.
It's, it's, I can't tell.
It can cover.
I can't, I can't.
No, no, it's far away.
Yeah, well, you're looking at a,
you're looking at a two inch wide monitor from 10 feet. Yeah. Well, you can't tell. It can cover. I can't, I can't. No, no, it's far away. Yeah, well, you're looking at a, you're looking at a two inch wide monitor from 10 feet.
Yeah.
Well, you'll zoom in.
You'll do something, Dick.
This is a 4K camera.
You'll figure a way out.
No, no, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll get some B-roll after the,
after the cast.
We'll get some closeups.
Okay, well, this is the second.
Yeah, I don't think,
I think the problem is when you,
when you turn, if you face straight,
they're going to see the landscape.
What do you mean?
This is straight.
No, no.
If you look that way, see now.
Oh, they might see the outline.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The profile.
It's like a nipple on your forehead.
I have a third nipple.
It really is.
Yeah, yeah.
Milk me.
Because it can't get milked, dude.
I fucked with it.
Here's what you don't do.
And I fuck with everything.
It's too deep to fuck?
Yes.
And then I put a scar level on it
where like, you know,
it's got a callus.
Really?
So you can't break the bulb
and every time you...
You just have to wait
for like four or five hot showers.
See, I never pop a zit.
Again, psychopathic behavior.
My dad told me from a young age,
he goes, don't even, don't pop it.
That's great.
That's great. You're going to get a scar. You have nice, yeah, you have a nice face. You got a nice young face age, he goes, don't pop it. That's great. That's great.
You're going to get a scar.
Yeah, you have a nice face.
You have a nice young face.
Yeah, but I don't get zits.
What?
You don't have wrinkles.
You don't have wrinkle lines.
I'm getting crow's feet.
You only have it right here.
Well, that's because I sleep on my back.
I don't get any face sleep lines.
You also don't have an emotion.
You're very dead inside.
It's true.
It's true.
When I make faces, people are like, stop doing that.
Yeah, yeah.
You do have a crazy fucking face.
No, you scare people.
I think, you know, when you get serious.
It's upsetting.
Yeah.
Well, you get very.
All right.
I'll say this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When we did, when we put up the art here, you, your dad, it comes out of you so hard
that it makes me feel like you are my dad.
You know what I mean?
Like you go dad level.
Zero to a thousand.
Yeah.
And you don't have to say much because your face says it all and your eyes are so disappointed in me.
They were so disappointed in me that I was like, I'm sorry.
Dude, you know how many times I got that over the course of a life, that look?
Yeah, I do.
Because I have one too.
It's brutal. Yeah, it's true too brutal yeah yeah yeah i wish i had
two moms yeah i wouldn't have smile lines i'd be sleeping my back i mean i'd be very happy yours
because you'd be like eating potato chips yeah just crunching you have to eat that now huh
he would literally turn the tv down and just stare at me. Are you done? Are you done?
I'm like, yeah, we're having popcorn.
Everyone's having popcorn and watching a movie.
I was like seven.
He would go like this, pause it and go, are you done?
And I'm like, dude, so many people thought this was so crazy and I didn't think it was.
I would suck on hard pretzels until they softened like bread.
And then that's how i would can yeah consume the
actual pretzel because i was afraid that if i bit the pretzel like a normal human being or eat cereal
yeah i would just have to slurp it and just like let it settle warm it up that's how i took communion
yeah yeah i would stick communion to the top of my mouth and just let it disintegrate yeah
jesus goes straight to your brain up there, dude.
It's close to your brain.
You feel closer to God.
Hunk it right up there in the roof.
I never once ate communion.
I never once chewed on it.
It was just right to the top.
My brother used to call them Jesus.
Like cheese it.
It's like a snack at church.
He'd be like, I'm not going up there for a Jesus.
My dad would get so upset. He'd be like, you guys stop saying that. Your mother Like cheese it. It's like a snack at church. He'd be like, I'm not going up there for a geez it. My dad would get so upset.
Just like,
you guys stop saying that your mother gets really,
I just liked,
I liked community.
Cause you knew you were in the fourth quarter.
Like you knew you were like,
we're almost out.
Yeah.
It's done.
Yeah.
Two more Neils.
One more dog shit.
Yeah.
You're going to hear like on Eagle's wings.
I mean,
you're fucking your home watching the birds game.
Dude.
If I ever went to mass and they didn't play Hosanna in the highest,
I would spaz. It's the only good song at least that our church i think on eagle's wings is a
banger what's how does on eagle's wings go i don't think we ever had raise you up on eagle's
wing you don't know this song no no no there you the breath of God, make you to shine like the sun.
No, no, no.
Maybe if I get to the second verse, it'll go away.
We are Hosanna in the highest.
I know this one.
I know this one.
That's a hard one.
Oh, dude.
You know what that is?
That's a show-off song for the fat moms.
Really?
The moms that can hit that high note.
Yeah.
I just felt like the only song that had some real like composition to it.
Hungover pops love on Eagle's wings.
They can stay in it.
They can stay on their level,
still crush.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think of some of the other ones in there.
There were some real,
just bad ones.
I can,
I could possibly,
if,
if we were to,
on another show,
bring up like the five most popular
Catholic Christian church songs,
I would be dynamite yeah
jeopardy really oh yeah i'm pretty good well we went in grade school you go every single day
yeah and then you go on sundays and it'd be the same every single day oh see we only did
sundays we did we only did sundays yeah that was public school you you went to catholic school so
you what you really how long was the mass? An hour?
Same, same.
No way.
45 minutes to an hour for kids.
That's insane.
It's insane.
I should have been learning CPR, how to cut an onion, things that you can use in your life. Dude, we had Irish cousins come over and we took them to mass on Sunday and they were like, what the fuck?
What is happening?
Yeah.
Because it's so long.
They do half hour
yeah
for them it's like
yeah
it's a bread line
when the clothes start
like wearing off them
they have to
they have to get back
to their homes
where there's a fire pit
they have to survive
dude they don't
45 minutes
it's probably also
the churches are so small
they gotta like
they gotta do a lot
they gotta do high volume
pump them out
yeah man the Irish are wild They got to like, they got to do a lot. They got to do high volume. Yeah.
Man, the Irish are wild.
That's one thing I actually miss about Delco.
When I go back home, it's like you forget how like simple yet so complex that environment is of like hardcore Irish and hardcore Italian.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hardcore Polish.
They all have the same,
I guess like a religious ideals.
Yeah.
But culturally and community wise,
they're so uniquely different.
You know,
when they're in their own homes,
they have their own,
I'm saying everything that's obvious about them.
No,
I don't know.
I,
well, I don't know i well i
don't because my my parents are from new york and it feels like they're they're very blended
yeah yeah i don't know they're like they're irish but they like they i got a lot of italian stuff
that they do yeah yeah we separated even though you're in the same neighborhood you you you
separated all that shit except for like church yeah except for sundays and like sports yeah
that's what
brought you together with these people that hate you every other day and then you go right back to
fucking hating them on monday you know it is nice that's why sports are nice yeah they bring you
together i was kind of one of those yeah unless you're not on that team it's true but even when
you're even when you're not there's i feel like we found like a happy medium yeah yeah yeah like
i went to a giantsants game in Eagles guard.
Yeah.
700 level or whatever.
After a while, they're nice.
But you have to actually show dominance.
You have to show your teeth so that they then respect you.
It's not like...
True, true.
Not everybody gets through.
And you can't be a dick.
It's like, don't go over the top.
Cheer for your team.
Don't point fingers.
Don't go after somebody or else you're just bringing it on yourself.
Yeah, it is brutal.
Because I'm like... I watch a lot of sports.
I do like sports, but I'm not like a numbers names guy.
Yeah.
You are with the flyers.
With the flyers.
I, yeah.
With flyers, I'm paying attention.
But if I go to like, if I do, if I go to a game and I'm like, yeah, I'm like an Eagles
fan and someone's still like, someone's a Cowboys fan.
And they start coming at me about like shit that happened in the nineties. Yeah. I'm like, I don't someone's a Cowboys fan. They start coming at me about shit that happened in the 90s.
Yeah.
I'm like, I don't really know.
That's great.
And then all of a sudden, they're like, ugh.
I envy this.
You know?
I'd watch this guy through the window.
I'd check his license plate.
I would have an issue for months.
I'd come back at the same time he was there the next week.
That would fuck me up.
Really?
Yeah.
Some dude came at me with that bullshit. Dude, there's nothing that makes an opposing fan happier than knowing more about your team.
Yeah.
They get off so hard on knowing more about your team than you.
It's nice undressing someone because you know it's all about anger, right?
So if I'm going to talk shit on on the cowboys and this cowboy fan knows
about sports the odds are the majority of people from philadelphia yeah people that are yelling
from their you know what they call the armchair quarterback which is the guy that's saying you
should have threw it there you should have ran that you should have caught that ball meanwhile
he's running 25 miles an hour yeah the ball's dancing in the sky and he's diving and then
getting hit it's like and then if you catch the ball, people are punching.
The fact that there's not more fumbles every single play.
Oh my God.
These guys are absolute animals.
Dude.
And then you got some fat slob that if his wife tossed his car keys from three feet,
he would drop them, fall on his forehead because he had too many Miller lights.
They should.
They should have like an outreach program for the like fat dudes that sit on the couch
and complain about shit yes or just anyone skinny fucking dudes that complain about shit too
just so it's like go stand on the sideline yeah and have a running back just run past them at
full speed yeah and like you like it's like when a car goes by yeah it's like and you like you you actually like hear that
yeah yeah the wind hits you terrifying yeah i mckeever and i sold a pilot to sports illustrated
to make a sports show yeah and one of the the bits that we had was going through twitter
and finding some dude who talked shit on like a major play that changed you know the yeah the
game and uh and you were to knock up to that person and be like are you henry did you say this
and henry's like yeah yeah you should have definitely caught the ball and you're like
all right come with us then you bring them to a turf like a natural field and you have them run
around yeah you have them run around just try and catch have them run around. Just try and catch a ball. Try and run, you know, with your kids
or whatever safety sneaks he's got on.
Yes.
Just catch a ball first.
And then you bring another dude on the field
that's going to rock his ass.
Yeah, yeah.
And you could literally, you could do it like, you know,
when they trot out like the U16 men's team
to play like the best women's team in the world in soccer.
They're 15.
It's like just...
What's the height?
What? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which means they're under 15,
which means they're 14.
Right.
So it's bad.
It's bad news.
But it's like, yeah, bring that guy out.
It's like, here's our high school cornerback.
See if you can get any daylight between you and him.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So there's a very,
I've already said this,
but the small subsect of the population within any town that actually played
sports at a,
not,
I'm not saying like fucking collegiate D one,
even if you played in high school,
you still have a,
an understanding of what these guys are doing and how they're all superheroes.
Yeah.
You have a respect for going.
Yeah.
That was a,
it could have been caught
but given the circumstances if you've ever been running full speed it's very difficult ball to
catch oh my god yeah and you instead you have the majority just screaming going we suck dude when
there's a guy when there's a guy running there'll be a guy running full speed and he'll do this
yeah yeah yeah catch it over his head it's like yeah insane it's insane
and they'll just like that was a good catch yeah how are we this had you should have a document
that's why he gets paid the big bucks it's like no no no no no no no what a great way yeah yeah
it's like you want from me that's why he's paid the big bucks yeah yeah it's like no no that that
that was extra that he gave them they're paying him for like the regular routes and shit that they do.
What, these guys don't get paid enough?
Yeah.
It's like, yeah, no, they're the best there is.
What do we do, suck his dick?
That's what he's there for.
How many millions a year?
Jesus Christ.
You pay me that, I'll fucking suck your dick.
What?
Dude, let's... What what should we attempt this again yeah
well so yeah at some point we'll release i guess our first attempt i don't know whatever we tried
to talk about scanning first attempt at the skank fest yeah yeah no we we've talked for an hour and
a half and we basically just argued yeah i think we did yeah which is a good portion of the show i mean
let me get something straight it's always gonna happen yeah yeah but it was drunken i was well
we've also told when you when you tell a long story that's so involved with with drugs and
mayhem yeah if you're telling it with other people, the path to certain time frame, it's clear just to you.
But when someone's talking with you, it's harder to get to your destination.
So every time you tell the story in a group environment, it's going to be different every time.
All I wanted to do was tell the story the way you and I experienced it.
Because it was you and I for outside of Cullum, 90% of the time.
Yeah.
And it's a good fucking story.
I want to get it out.
We're not drunk.
No, yeah, we should be able to do this better.
Yeah.
We should.
If we can't do this right now, we can't do this podcast.
Yes.
We have to call it quits.
I'm going to pursue sports.
Yeah,
we're going to get back into it.
Yeah.
Well,
yeah,
we went to Skank Fest
two weeks ago,
right,
a week ago.
We're off to a good start.
I think it's two weeks.
I think it's two weeks.
Yeah.
We went to,
we went to Skank Fest
and we got there.
We got there.
We convinced you to go you came you did
it was awesome uh you and feeney yeah on a wednesday night convinced me to buy tickets
for a thursday flight yeah uh it was fantastic we get down there flights everything go fine
right yeah uh we show up to skank fest Fest everyone's happy to see you
yeah yeah
no it's great
I wanted to
you got a nice greeting
I did
yeah Rebecca Trent
gave me a warm hug
you know she's the fucking
it's corny to say
the queen bee
but she's you know
if you don't
if you're not accepted by her
and especially
I'm not on the bill
I'm not doing anything
I jumped on a few shows
but you know
getting a hug from her
the moment we stepped in was like that was like that was the cool hell yeah that was the coolest thing too is that
the moment you showed up people were like do this show do this yeah yeah right this show do stand up
yeah we got it we got us we got a surprise to shane he was in the green room whatever
everything shane had left a couple days early so he didn't even know no he didn't he didn't know
he was trying to get me and mckeever to go down there 12 hours before i had already bought the ticket i tried to get mckeever but
he had he had stuff to do with family i thought he texted you when we were down there he texted
me no when we were traveling oh okay yeah he's like i'll buy you a flight if you and john can
come down and do matt chains and uh i knew it was a long shot because it was a long shot for me i
already already bought the ticket yeah and he already had stuff to do so he couldn't make it.
So yeah, Thursday night was beautiful.
Thursday night is supposed to be a chill night where everybody just welcomes the comics.
We had no shows.
We just were going to chill.
Yeah, there was one karaoke thing that everybody was doing.
It's mostly industry and comedians and then fans.
Industry?
Well, like, you know, like, i don't know why i'm saying industry
like people that are working people that are working there's no industry people that work
in the festival yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i'm thinking of normal festivals yeah this is just
staff and uh a few the point is most of the fans came in fr and Saturday as opposed to Thursday night Thursday night was the majority was comics and staff and then a hodgepodge
of true fans that were maniacs are taking off on Friday or whatever so look
this is all I told myself was like let's take it easy on Thursday because I knew
was gonna get nuts and rule 101 for skank fest is don't take drugs off a
stranger unless somebody within the group knows who this guy is.
Yeah.
We're in the back.
I get against the wall because I don't want anyone behind me.
I'm sitting on a pack of fucking Lone Stars, some kind of beer.
You're next to me to the right.
I don't know where Shane was,
but I hear this dude yelling towards
you and he turns around and he has this giant glad bag of drugs yeah and you grab it and
immediately my my mentality shifted i was like what is it i want it it was mushrooms yeah you
put the whole bag you big bag of mushrooms yeah i'm gonna say like this big
it was and it's like okay here's our weekend two inches yeah two inches deep yeah oh this would be
a weekend two inches deep how do you say it oh yeah let me tell you something about this story
so you you grab the bag you fold it put it your pocket i'm like what are you doing
just take some,
give it back to the fucking guy,
and he goes,
no, no, no, no,
pass them out to your friends,
I grabbed some immediately,
this is your first skank fest,
you don't know,
someone hands you the whole bag,
I had no idea,
no fucking idea,
also,
I'm the youngest of three,
I know that if I get my hands on something,
I'm gonna protect it,
because I want,
I'm selfishly gonna want all of it,
right,
so then you took a few out, I took more than I should have put
in my top pocket hand it back to you and he's like hand him out to all your
friends yeah the guy goes what are you doing yeah they're yours they're
fucking yours we get all right we take can I say we took them then well we
waited like 30 minutes we like watched a little more of the show.
We tried not to take them.
I feel like there was a process in my head that was like, don't.
Yeah, we were like, not tonight.
Not tonight.
Not tonight.
Just settle down.
Get a nice rest.
You've been traveling.
We're going to be getting fucked up all weekend.
Plus, I was getting fucked up with Cullum at like 9 in the morning at the airport.
This is now 9 p.m.
I'm like, it's not worth it.
Yeah. It's not worth it. Then was this the green room when airport. This is now 9 p.m. I'm like, hey, it's not worth it.
Yeah.
It's not worth it.
Then was this the green room when we dropped them?
No, no.
We were sitting out there.
We were watching the show.
It was karaoke.
It was packed in the warehouse.
And someone came on,
and someone did like a song that wasn't that great.
There was a bunch of like bangers in a row.
And then someone did a song that wasn't that great and we just looked at each other
and we were like
I'll take a little bit
yeah yeah
make this song better
yeah
so then we take
remember that one
that one dude with long hair
was doing
whatever the fuck it was
yeah
that was amazing
that was the opening
yeah
some stranger looked over
and he's like
Jessica Kirsten
is crushing this right now
I was like
that's her
fuck
cause she can do great voices oh my god it looks like her cause we're all the way in the back yeah had this right now. I was like, that's her? Because she could do great voices.
Oh my God, it looks like her.
Because we're all the way in the back.
Had no fucking idea.
And he was like, nah, nah, let me get a mushroom.
And I was like, this is the fucking wildest shit.
That would have been insane.
It's like, wow, she looks like she's like 6'2".
She's really good.
She really gets into character.
Well, the dude was just headbanging from down.
And everybody was loving it.
He fucking destroyed it.
That dude practiced that for months in his bedroom.
His mom's basement.
There's no doubt.
That motherfucker was like, this is going to be my time.
Yeah.
I wonder if he knew he was going to be the opening act.
Yeah.
Had to.
It wasn't a raffle.
So he probably reached out to those guys like, I got a song.
Yeah.
And then Sagalow stepped up right after that.
Bro, I want to say this.
It's one of my proudest moments of the weekend.
Because I knew Sagalow.
Sagalow's a goofball.
He was going up after this dude destroyed that hardcore song.
And I whispered to somebody, I forget who the fuck it was.
I don't know if it was you or somebody else.
And I was like, I hope he does Elton John.
I said, Joe, this is a little giggle. I was crushing.
Back of the room.
Sure enough.
Back of the room, guys. Sure enough.
He does fucking Elton John.
And destroys. Yeah.
It was a masterpiece. Everyone's holding up
candles. Yes. Candles.
It was lighters. Yeah, whatever, dude.
I guess the mushrooms already started
hitting. I don't know what we took them.
Look at all these candles. Are they handing out candles? Dude, 12 years of Catholic school guess the mushrooms already started hitting. I don't know why we took them. Look at all these candles.
Were they handing out candles?
Dude, 12 years of Catholic school, everything looks like a candle.
Let me get a candle and light this cigarette.
Yeah, it's like those little paper hot air balloons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got to say a prayer to your dead grandma.
Light my cigarette.
So he destroys.
You're right.
We took a, our conversation was, let's just take a cap.
I've done mushrooms.
Cap and a stem, yeah.
20 to 40 times.
And I know it's a wide range.
That sounds like a lot.
A cap and a, yeah.
Well, it's over, I've done mushrooms since eighth grade
and like a Pink Floyd concert or whatever.
Oh shit.
So a mushroom and a stem is like a,
to someone that doesn't do mushrooms,
it's like it's a six pack.
It's like a perfect level of chill.
Yeah.
You know, you're boozed, but you're not like, you can hang out, you can talk.
Yeah.
There's a body feel, but there's not too much head space where you're like, you know, you're being a fucking weirdo.
Yeah.
It's like a little euphoria.
Yeah, yeah.
A little bit.
So we took a head, a cap and a stem, and then put them back in your pocket.
Yeah.
And then we're like, all right, let's go have fun.
Yeah, we'll just wait for these to kick in.
You went to the green room with Shane, I think.
I was like, I was just wondering.
Yeah, you were bopping around somewhere.
Yeah, yeah.
I was with Norman, Shane.
I think Mads Kerr was there.
There was a couch full of us.
I started telling them I took mushrooms.
Shane was like, give me one.
Yeah. And I was like give me one yeah and i
was like chris has them i think in that moment you walked in or you were like talking to somebody
else i noticed yeah well i walked in because jimmy cunningham who's like gas digital's like ad guy
had taken some too with us yes putnam jim yeah putnam putnam generals prior to the putnam
generals he works with gas i didn't know that yeah yeah so i walked in i walked in i
was outside for some reason i walked back into the showroom and uh he goes mushrooms work
and i like turn around i look at the stage and i'm like wow i really am feeling pretty good
and it was quick it was like 15 minutes yeah this is very very fast yeah yeah so i go walk
into the green room i'm like i can find tommy and see where he's at i walk in and you have the perfect corner chair yeah oh dude listen
i've i've learned through the years you find a backing no one's behind you yeah a corner is the
best spot possible you can see both angles i knew exactly what i was doing norman probably hated
because i was sitting on an arm next to him like a stepdad watching him
just petting his head but yeah it was a great spot and i'm like this is i'm gonna stay here
for a while until shit hits yeah so i know i'm in control right which i wasn't fearing it i was not
i was not fearing it at all that amount of mushrooms shouldn't send anyone yeah i was
getting ready to like drink for a while yeah yeah it's like this is gonna be like this is gonna be
a nice buzz in the background of
how much I'm going to drink.
So you come in,
conversation's already being had.
You pull out your bag.
Shane munches.
Mark looks at them.
So many comments on the color
because at this point.
Mark did.
Mark was like,
these look crazy.
Yeah.
Because they were like purple.
We'll send a pic.
And we were like,
nah, that's mushrooms.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who the fuck knows
yeah they're really good and he goes these kind of look different and i was like all right we'll
just take half take half of what we took you'll be fine yeah he apparently goes to munch i didn't
know i didn't see him he faked us well i don't know if he faked us or he just put his top pocket
because we had to chat well this is a later part of the story.
Shane munches.
And then we just chill for a bit.
We're like, we're good.
It starts hitting me in that green room where I was like.
Yeah.
It just was like.
Yeah, yeah.
And everything, the warmth and like visuals.
People are just bouncing.
And I'm like, this is.
This is what happens when you take three to four ounces
yeah when it's that fast and i that this is a a half maybe a quarter of an ounce yeah it's nothing
it's nothing oh no no no what are you talking about we took yeah yeah yeah we took maybe
nine ounces grams maybe a gram yeah maybe less than a gram yes yeah i would say less than a gram it's probably a half
a gram yeah yeah it was not it was nothing the feeling you get when we when it hit us i was like
that's what because i've taken i took four grams like three months ago yeah i mean but i would but
i sat down on the couch with you guys so now we're 25 minutes in and i was like already getting that
thing where there was like to get up and get a beer was like
yeah this is a project yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I don't want to step on anybody I need a buddy
that's the same level of high with me yeah yeah and that's what we did so we left the room you
and I Shane grabs us back in the warehouse he's like like, Doug, Stan Hubs coming in.
Say hi to Doug.
Say hi to Doug.
And as soon as I see Doug, I am full bore.
High as fuck.
Yes.
I was, yeah.
Doug's girl is dressed in colors that I can't explain.
Elton John glasses on.
It looks like, yeah, she was the mascot for Mushroom. Yeah, and that train conductor. Yeah. Well, not train conductor. I don't explain. Elton John glasses on. It looks like, yeah, she was the mascot for Mushrooms.
And that, like, yeah.
And that train conductor.
Yeah.
Well, not train conductor.
I don't know.
The runaway train kind of hat.
I don't know.
I couldn't explain it.
She's already, yeah.
She usually dresses like that.
But when you're on Mushrooms, it was like.
And dude, as I'm reaching to shake his hand, I feel like it was just like.
Yeah.
It was like meeting Chuck E. Cheese when you were six.
Yeah, yeah. Do you remember, like, you would actually meet the giant Yeah. It was like meeting Chuck E. Cheese when you were six.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you remember like you would actually meet the giant rat and you're like, holy fuck.
This is the dude.
It's actually you.
This is Chuck, dude.
This is Chuck.
So I was like, I can't...
Doesn't talk much.
I turned to the right.
Kyla is in my face.
If you want to talk about the juxtaposition
of being on mushrooms and psychedelics
versus speed and the aggression of a Philly chick, If you want to talk about the juxtaposition of being on mushrooms and psychedelics versus
speed and the aggression of a Philly chick, it is something you do.
That's the final boss of you getting home to your apartment.
It's like, this is the one person you do not want to run into.
Right in front of my face, as soon as I turned to leave the scenario, I was like, I gotta
go outside.
And she's looking at me and I'm not kidding you Kyla I love you but your teeth were sharpened like like a vampire the
way you sleep and her eyes were like black and she's like where's Brian I was like I don't know
she's like would you just come from that room and I was now I'm scared yeah I'm like I think I did
well Kyla Kyla is so helpful and so concerned at all times
that she's always got a question for you that you can't answer if you're on mushrooms
you know what i mean yeah where is somebody like what do you mean yeah i don't know i don't know
where i'm at right now i have no idea what's going on and she's like well you just came through that
room why don't you just tell me if brian in that room I'll be like everyone's in that room
don't tell me
where I came from
I don't fucking know
I'm living in the present
she gets mad at me
and the second thing
of mushrooms
is you don't want
anyone being mad at you
you're already having
head games
so I'm like
what the fuck did I do
I didn't say anything
I just don't know
where Brian is
that's all I said
so it's like
I gotta go outside
I knew
I started to pitch right after I shook Doug Stanhope's all I said. So it's like, I got to go outside. I knew.
I started to pitch.
Right after I shook Doug Stanhope's hand, I was like, it's walk around the block time.
This bar has got too many faces I don't recognize.
I need to be able to have some conversations with people I know. Yeah, every room is a fun house.
To get my bearings.
It's a different room of a fun house.
Yeah.
And it was a little bit, it wasn't drafty in there.
You know, there was no, the air was not circulating.
It was a locker room of fat, hairy dudes.
It was bad.
So we take a walk.
Like a locker room of like a hockey team that couldn't skate.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a lot of dudes waiting around looking to hand people mushrooms.
Yeah.
Did you get some of that?
Yeah.
Who can we dose?
So, yeah, then we leave.
Colm's on board.
Colm is also starting to fly with us.
And so we take a walk around the block.
No, you're missing one part of the story.
We followed Norman thinking he was going towards the outskirts and we walked oh yeah the
green room the green room with ranazizi and and somebody else it was like yeah it was like ranazizi
like uh maybe brenn ernst it was like a like a crew of like eddie pepitone yeah yeah yeah
jessica person it was like yeah people we just didn't know well enough to be like we're fucked up also
like a lot of people i respect it like it was like oh my god yeah yeah it was like a lot of
people that i respect that i'd be meeting for the first time so we just like you were behind me i
was following you with confidence yeah the way a kid oh i was walking with so much confidence i
was ready for that door to open and to walk in the outdoors yeah yeah and it was just like whoa whoa it's literally what you did yeah
you were like not here and you turn literally you said something audibly to everyone then they
all like this and looked and i was the only face because you already turned yeah so you were out
and i was like and then i just walked back out with you and i remember seeing ren is easy and
i was like fuck i haven't seen this dude in like six years yeah he's looking at me like what the fuck is your problem yeah yeah that was
embarrassing yeah because it was a laugh that came out like a burp yeah one of those things
anyway we get outside me you and colin go this is not normal yeah this is not we're not at a level of high and it intensified
within the time that we said it was starting to hit by the time we got outside i am
heavy breathing yeah because that feeling of like when a drug hits you're like
oh and you just feel like you drop you're dropped in a bit of Like a hot tub Your whole body's going nuts
Visually people are going oh shit
There's Poe
People just want to take pictures and you're like let's get the fuck out of here
And they're scary as fuck
So you me and Cullum
Walk down the street
This is a part where
You guys bust my balls about
One of you had an idea.
We're just going to walk around.
That was my idea was we're just going to take one lap around the block.
That'll brace us.
We can come back in.
We'll probably freak out again.
Then we'll take another lap.
You know,
we can,
this is,
we just need,
yeah,
but it's not a block.
This is,
this is cut off.
Astro world is like a mile away.
Don't start.
I know for a fact,
I looked it up astroworld's
installations are close enough that when you walk this is thursday night astroworld wasn't
until friday and saturday so there's still security guards walking around these empty
parking lots i started bugging out dude so i'm going let's not cause attention you're so wrong
about everything everything about what's around us yeah no i'm
very because the security was for the tent area of skank fest maybe part 100 but we walked up the
equivalent of like four by four blocks it wasn't one block it wasn't just one skadoodle around
we went deep deep deep no back around that was the that That was the goal. The goal was to take one lap around, one block.
And then I went the opposite way.
Well, you need to take a piss.
So instead of taking, like, we left the venue.
We took a left.
When we got to the first corner, instead of taking the second left,
we crossed the street to find, like, a dark place across some train tracks.
Yes.
All right, listen, i'll make this i was
very insecure i was scared dude sober or on like drinking any other drug but the drug we were on
i would i would pee inside of a cop's
glove compartment yeah yeah i wouldn't care i didn't want to i didn't want to be in public
and get caught and ruin our high because i couldn't talk to anyone yeah i was so afraid of running into a
cop going come here for a second you okay yeah or just like me as i'm like or you're so high that
it's like you'd be pissing and then realize you're pissing like like oh we did that's exactly just
somewhere super public and it's like someone's hat or something you know like you'd be like yeah wait wait wait what yeah i mean you thought we were at astral world yeah you were fucking gone
so you and colin were busting my balls for a while because you kept bringing me to locations
like pee right there it's fine there's no one around and there wasn't yeah i was like no it's
not good enough you'd get gotta find another. Finally, I agreed to piss in this like construction area.
It was the ugliest fucking thing in the world.
No,
no.
So then we walk back.
Like as we get to the train tracks,
you decide this isn't going to work.
So we walk back to the corner,
the first corner that we were on.
Yeah.
And on our way back,
we run into the fan.
Oh yes.
Who's like,
can we take it?
Can I take a picture? And he's like, kind of just like wobble. Oh, yes. Who's like, can I take a picture?
And he's kind of just wobbling or wandering up to us.
Also, there was no one around us.
Yeah, we were completely by ourselves in the middle of nowhere.
It looks like a parking lot in a wooded area for another music festival.
There was nothing around.
A fence, grass, grass street and a parking lot
yeah and this kid appeared out of nowhere asking us for a picture yeah and we are flying yeah i
couldn't even talk colm i think it was it was in the best shape at this point i was doing okay at
this point i was definitely like high but i was fine i just i like but i'm in the mode where it's
like there's no way
we're taking this picture and colin's like yeah man let's do it yeah yeah and we're both like all
right well this is insane the dude goes to take a picture of just us against the fence in the
middle of the woods it was against it was against a cinder block wall is what it was too it was just
gonna be the three of us pupils the size
of fucking dinner plates
just sitting there like
I mentioned this
on Matt and Shane's
I felt like
I can't even imagine
that picture
that picture yeah
has anyone seen that picture
it probably looks like
three raccoons
in the middle of a highway
just before getting
just before getting
smoked by a fucking bus
and the first picture the first picture the dude took
he's like can I get a picture and comes like
yeah go go go go
and it's just us and then one of you were like
I think you want to be in this
I don't know if I said it
you could google image this anytime you want
dude you gotta be in it and he's like
oh shit yeah yeah I gotta be in it. And he's like, oh shit. Yeah, yeah.
I got to be in this.
And then we fucked off to take a piss.
I finally find the construction site.
It was a construction.
No, no, no.
It was an empty trench.
No, no, no.
What?
What?
Jumping ahead?
We finally get back to the corner.
The first corner.
Yeah.
That we started.
Like what was supposed to be our first left turn
we get back to that corner
so now we take a right
we're actually trying to make it around the block
so we're walking down the street
of like
one quarter closer
to what you guys want
your goal
for some reason
well we needed to leave the place
and it was just something to do
instead of wandering around
looking for a piss
so
then
you still want to take a piss
instead of taking a left
which would lead us back
to like the fans
we're like
let's just go straight
so now we're
you know
we'd be like a block and a half
away from the building
and we see the Ferris wheel.
Yes.
It's beautiful.
I did.
I pissed after the Ferris wheel.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Because the beauty of the Ferris wheel is you're pissed off about the Ferris wheel.
I want to carry the Ferris wheel part because that's fine.
You're, you're adoration for this Ferris wheel.
Oh, it was everything to you.
Well, this was, this was a genuine, if I'm being honest, like our, our team was starting to fall apart. It was everything to you. Well, this was a genuine,
if I'm being honest,
our team was starting to fall apart.
We were going to pieces.
Yeah.
You're pretty pissed off about the walk around the block.
Colm's pissed at you that you're...
That I can't piss.
That you can't piss.
Yeah.
And Colm won't shut up about it.
Colm was wired.
You're like...
Sometimes mushrooms hit someone
like it's cocaine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Colm wouldn't shut the fuck up.
At one point, I was like,
Colm, will you please shut the fuck up. At one point I was like, come,
will you please shut the fuck up?
I'm trying to watch the Ferris wheel.
Well,
that's when,
that's when we finally,
so I go now look at that.
Isn't that a beautiful Ferris wheel?
Ordinarily I'd be like,
destroy that thing.
I don't need it.
But right now it is the most beautiful thing.
Make me a bumper out of this goddamn.
And Colin really was.
Colin goes, yeah. And then you stop and you're like it was amazing dude and the three of us it wasn't even it wasn't even on no but it was a ferris wheel the ferris wheel hold on the ferris wheel
itself had had multi-colored lights going neon multi-colored lights going around the outside
and mushrooms make everything move so to us it's
this thing swinging yes and it was moving and it was gorgeous yes and for one instance we were all
shutting the fuck up and enjoying the beauty of our mushrooms and accepting it rather than putting
all this drama and hell in our life yeah and then i see this homeless dude well i see him in the corner of my eye and i'm like don't
don't recognize him stay focused watch the wheel watch the wheel he might as well come out of the
middle of the ferris wheel it was a long track dude he came from a long distance he just got
bigger and bigger finally we couldn't ignore it anymore because he's right in front of our face he's wearing a red i'll never forget this he's wearing a red snow hat
colin is already giggling he's already giggling because dude people were like dancing and moving
in our head at this point well also i think colin and i was feeling this too it's like you're like
i know i as this guy's walking up,
I know that none of us are equipped to handle
what's about to happen right now.
Like, none of us have just that level of small talk in us
to just navigate this situation.
He puts his hand out, he wants some money,
and then he takes his snow hat off,
and his hair fucking sideshow bobbed out of this thing. want to reach in my wallet i don't know like where everything's at i don't want to have a conversation you start giggling a little bit because he's laughing so fucking hard i'm smiling
going oh come on i literally started going come on stop i tried to go no no no no no move it along
move it along and finally i was like oh yeah come on here dude and i pulled out cash i had a 20
five ones you caught me navigating around that 20 so hard because i
could see my fingers were like guitars i was like dude and when everything like when you're on
mushrooms and like like everything gets this weird meshy kind of yeah quality to it and just
separating money is like because it's got that weird. Yeah, all money has that weird like newspaper. Yeah, kind of like yeah
I'm not gonna like this. Yeah
Like you know, I like you know, like the fucking Wall Street Journal has like a dot photos
You're like everything's like that and you're like, I don't even is this what I'm seeing or is this
Me I just gave my insurance card. He's been racking bills
Yeah, that's the guy
He went to lexus bought one he's like he has a nice guy so i gave him like three or four bucks
and then uh yeah then he fucked off then he left yeah and and immediately everything that we had gotten a brief respite from comes rushing back.
You now have to piss twice as bad.
I'm furious.
You're furious.
I was so upset.
Because I was so happy.
It was everything I wanted.
It's why we left the venue in the first place.
It's like, let's go enjoy this head game.
Right, a quiet, nice, cool.
We all are on the same fucking plane.
And you walked away.
And Colm and I are still there trying to hold on to it.
Trying to hold on to the moment.
And you walk in front of us and throw something in the air and go,
fucking there goes your fucking Ferris wheel.
And Colm and I lost our fucking minds.
I don't think I've ever laughed that hard.
I've never seen you laugh that hard in my life.
Oh my God.
There goes your fucking Ferris wheel.
Yeah.
He was such a-
Angry dad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You had to ruin it, huh?
It was that?
Your mother's birthday?
It was that kind of like fucking talk.
And then I realized I'm walking off into darkness and I still need you guys.
So I just stopped.
Like, come on, we're going somewhere.
No, you stormed down the- We had to chase you down. Yeah down i was like a half block yeah at that point i was very upset and then we were like you were like i gotta piss yeah we're like all right it's back
well i want to know more games and colin's like we said we go around one block i'm like no i gotta
fucking piss what what what just no more games just, the funny thing is that like anytime,
anytime we were trying to do the thing we were supposed to do,
you were so high, you're like, quit fucking with me.
Well, here's the thing.
I had no fucking control of anything the whole time,
including my mind, my body, and my bladder.
If there's one thing I can control on mushrooms,
it's my fucking bladder.
And I had enough of you guys controlling everything else,
including my bladder. So I was like, that's it. But we were. That's it fucking bladder. And I had enough of you guys controlling everything else, including my bladder.
So I was like, that's it.
That's it.
Yes.
I got to piss.
I don't care what the fuck you guys do.
You can follow me.
And we only want like one more bladder.
Which was so funny to us is because we had literally spent most of the time trying to find a place for you guys.
I know, I know, I know.
So you're like, quit fucking with me.
We've been trying to solve your problem the whole time yes
but the first one so then you walk right back to the first corner yeah like the very first corner
right next to yeah the secret group like there's a dirt trench an empty pipe that looks like it
needs to be fixed for water some shit it's all it's the most disgusting thing in the world
yeah i pee against the wall it's like where disgusting thing in the world. It's detritus. Yeah. Yeah.
I pee against the wall.
It's like where the city goes to dump things they don't use.
A hundred percent.
If,
if you're listening
and don't know what mushrooms do to your mind,
plant life almost talks to you.
It reaches out to you.
So like you could stare at grass
and the grass would be like.
Yeah.
And it's the most beautiful thing. If you can yourself going you're fine you're fine it's gorgeous yeah i was peeing on a weed
and i'm pissing on this weed and the weed's like just doing this like fucking this sexy dance from
like the fucking maniacs in the in the 300. Two layers going like this on mushrooms is insane.
And the whole time I'm going.
And then my bladder's getting emptied so it feels good.
And I'm just warm and calming.
And I look out to this trench and the colors, which are so dull and boring, started to like awaken.
And I'm like, dude, this is so embarrassing. And I'm like, it's,
dude,
this is so embarrassing
but I was like,
oh my God,
this is so beautiful.
And then Colin breaks it up
and immediately he's like,
what are you talking about?
This is the fucking ugliest
thing I've ever seen.
It's not,
literally,
it's dirt.
It's dirt in a pipe cone.
It's fucking,
it's absolute fucking shit, man.
Yeah.
It's fucking dog shit, man.
It's shit.
Let's go walk around
the fucking block
like we said.
Let's take the block around said and you're like no way am I leaving this
how do you leave this
how do you leave this
I finally found out
how do you leave this
I emptied my bladder and I had like a level of
you know the angst wasn't there
the happiness was coming back
and I didn't it's like being on a road
trip and you're on the turnpike and you miss your your last stop you know the whole time you're just
yelling at your kids because you're like you gotta piss because you it's your own fault yeah and i
gotta relieve the piss you're just like this is fun we're gonna go to the mountains yeah this is
great yeah and colin's like let's just walk around the block and you're like no absolutely not how do
you we've already tried this. It's so beautiful here.
And Colm and I go, dude, the fans are right there.
Yeah.
We can't just stand here in front of them and stare at fucking dog shit.
This is when you met that other guy.
Well, no, no, no.
That's after.
So then Colm again is like.
I'm going in.
Yeah.
Yeah. Colm was like, I'm going in. Yeah. Yeah.
Call him.
I'm going in.
Yeah.
He had enough.
Well, no, no, no. This is, this is what, this is what happened.
I realized that like, you're not leaving the corner.
Call him wants to take a walk around the block.
You can't see that.
Like you literally went to the hotel.
You literally went to the fans are so far away.
It's like, dude, they are 20 yards.
Maybe less. I'm getting anxiety yeah right now
and that's when i'm like all right we need to we need to get out of here as a group
like this is only going to get worse i don't see this getting better for us yeah so i
like i've been on mushrooms enough that i'm like i'm never i don't tell anyone specific like i
never yell at anyone to do anything so i present the the idea. I just go, guys, well, I'm going to do something. You're more than
you can come. You can not come. You're free to do as you please. This is true. I will say this.
I remember you saying, I'm going to go to the hotel. I'm going to catch an Uber. I'm going to
go to the hotel. I'm going to walk around near the hotel. And if things get really bad, I'm just
going to go up in the room. Yeah. You guys should come with me i think yeah and colin's like can we just take a walk around the block
and you go we fucking tried that already all my fucking happiness right out the window immediately
well yeah i was tired of walking on the same fucking block let's go somewhere else
colin and i start laughing because it's like no we yeah i know i know so colin goes i'm going to walk i'm going back in
you you it's up to you guys well he goes i can't go with you in the uber yeah i cannot do it and
he put both his hands in his pockets to emphasize how confident like he can't go in well there's one
part where i was like well well, I got to vote.
Cause you guys weren't even asking me what I wanted to do.
Oh yeah.
I was like,
all right,
well,
Tom and I are going to go,
Tommy and I are going to go to,
uh,
go back in.
And I was like,
hold on,
hold on,
hold on.
I got to vote because during this process,
as I'm processing everything else that's going on,
I'm like,
Chris,
what you just said,
you know,
it sounds pretty good.
I think, I think I'm leaning more on this plan than this plan.
Yeah.
And that's when I was like, yeah, I'm going to go back towards the hotel with Chris.
And then Colin goes, all right.
And he puts his hands in his pockets and he does this little skedaddle across the street.
Unbelievable walk.
Disappears into the darkness.
Yeah.
And we're just like, I mean, we laughed so hard because it was like, he's fucked in there.
He's fucked in there.
But guess who's fucked out there?
Yeah.
Hoo boy.
Well then, yes.
So now we're standing on the corner.
You lied to me.
Well, we're standing on the corner.
This is where the first-
You're happy
because you get to just stare at stuff.
This is the first of many lies.
Oh, here he is.
This is the first-
You're getting in.
This is the first-
The hell are you guys doing? We're getting in. This is the first.
We're talking about the mushroom trip.
Should we get you mic'd up for this real quick?
No.
How was dinner?
It was good.
Yeah?
Dinner was good.
How was it?
Yeah, yeah.
Man, we should have gotten you mic'd up. Yeah, yeah. Man, we should have gotten you. Yeah, damn, we should have gotten you mic'd up.
Yeah, yeah, all right.
All right.
All right, we'll get you paused up.
Damn, he would have been good in the beginning of this.
Yeah, I'm going to be fine, dude.
All right, I think we're rocking.
I think we're rocking and rolling.
Oh, shit. Yeah, that was all recorded.
Really?
Do me a big kindness and please delete all of it.
We don't edit.
No, no.
We're going to edit every hot mic thing on there.
We don't edit anything.
Two N-bombs and an insult to one.
No N-bombs.
Zero N-bombs.
No, we literally had to cut everything we recorded Thursday night
because we were too hammered.
You were blacked out. I was blacked out.
You are a fucking loser.
Dude, well...
You are a piece of shit.
Oh, come on, dude.
It was your fault.
You over-served me.
We had two beers.
Don't try to drink with this man.
I wasn't. I wasn't.
We had two beers. This man blacks out
and you don't know
You really black out like unknowingly, yeah, it's crazy
We've played we've we've had sessions of onward
We've had sessions of onward that have lasted six hours that you don't even remember
How can we don't of onward that have lasted six hours that you don't even remember yeah the first thing about yeah yeah he's like yo how come we don't play onward anymore we played for 12 hours and
over the course yeah what and over the course of that six hours you're constantly telling me it's
like you don't know what you're doing yeah oh Have you guys talked onward on this? No. I'm sorry to interrupt. I'm sorry to interrupt.
These two play onward.
They get trashed and play onward.
And I come home and it'll be like midnight.
These two are just wasted.
And I've never experienced a more dividable duo.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you know who it is. He's very controlling.
He is.
Well, you're blacked out.
Hold on a second.
Hold on.
You're blacked out. Hold on a second.
Chris, hold on.
See my point?
See how easy this is?
Just tossing a flashbang in.
This is actually pertinent to the end of this story
because he was my platoon leader.
He wasn't my shaman.
He was my platoon leader
when we were the highest level of shrooms.
And he was leading me around the city the way he does with Onward. So we'll get smoked
going one path and he goes, you'll hear him go, because he's locking his second thing
in the kitchen because you can't see him. And he goes, go in this way and you hear his
feet. And seeing him on on screen he's just this
little baby little he looks like a fucking salamander yeah yeah i'm like i can't follow
this fucking guy he's been talking shit the last three rounds dude you should have seen on the last
the last stretch of the walk home i know you don't know no no yeah yeah this is all you have to do
to divide these two i come in i sit down i start playing video games. I'm playing Xbox while they're playing on.
Tom plays Onward
directly in front of me.
I gotta take a step back
and say, okay.
But all you have to do is,
who's got the most kills?
And Tommy will be like,
I have the most kills
in Crystal League.
That's because you've been
out in the open
the whole time.
I've been securing the windows.
I'm over here
covering your ass.
Let's get back to this.
Grenade.
I love when there's a grenade.
Dude, Tommy's gotten nice
at throwing grenades.
You guys get rocked
by grenades.
One in a ten though.
We do, we do get it.
I'll be like an awning
and it flies right back at me.
I'm like, what?
I'm down.
I'm dead.
Are you dead dead?
Yeah, I'm dead dead. dead dead yeah I'm dead dead
and then all you hear is
fuck
how
how
how
he wasn't even
pointing his gun at me
dude the best is just
you're out there
you don't see it
and Tommy will be like
mid round
just
sipping whiskey
and you'll be like
help I need help
and he's like
I can't
dude I miss it
I miss you guys
playing on
we played it
the other night
sometimes
do you remember
getting around
in the other night
I get so high
you're like
I need my sauce
yeah dude
it'll calm me down
dude after we blacked out
on the podcast
on Thursday
we got
we played
we played a round.
Man, I wish I saw it.
We were going to play tonight.
Fuck, I didn't realize that flight was fucking 8 a.m.
That sucks.
Where are you from?
LaGuardia?
No, I think it's JFK at 8 a.m.
That blows.
Dude, speaking of when I, yeah.
Sorry to ruin the questions.
No, no, no.
No, I, yeah.
I was going to say that.
I got so drunk that night.
I want him to hear the end of the story
because we already told the beginning
how everything happened.
He actually, like, this is where Shane,
right where we're at in the story
is when Shane started tripping.
Did I ever.
Yeah.
Wait, were you on stage with Stanhope?
No.
Oh, okay.
I had it after.
Yeah.
But Tommy saw that
and I walked past Tommy who was on the mushrooms and he was like, I'm fucking flying. Yeah, okay. I had it after. Yeah. But Tommy saw that, and I walked past Tommy, who was on the mushrooms, and he was like,
I'm fucking flying.
Yeah, yeah.
And I was like-
That's when we met Sam.
And I genuinely was like, all right, he's fucked up.
I can handle mushrooms.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't know these mushrooms were the strongest mushrooms on earth.
Ever.
I thought you were bullshit.
Yeah, of course.
And I was like, I'll just take a little.
Yeah.
Mushroom. Like, an hour course and I was like I'll just take a little yeah munch them like an hour later
I was just like
that's what I said
dude I was talking to
Brett Morin about
or uh
Brett Ernst about
fucking like
the NFC East
and just in the middle
of a conversation
about the Cowboys
and the Eagles
I was just like
oh my god
that's essentially
how we left
I was like dude
oh my god
I can't talk to you i have to
fucking leave i have to leave right now yeah that's what happened to us because we were like
i made the decision that we need to go to the hotel and i called an uber onward chris yeah yes
i was yeah big time on yeah yeah risk management i was like we, fans cannot see us. We need to get home fast.
Because we might need to call the paramedics.
Tommy is staring at the grass.
And refusing.
Tommy was refusing to leave the corner.
He was like, we can't leave this.
It's so nice.
It was grass and like a piece of concrete.
I would get my eyes on like a fire hydrant.
And I would just stop and Chris would be like,
we got to keep it moving.
We got to keep moving.
Yeah, that's good stuff.
He promises we're going to get an Uber to the hotel.
He's looking at his phone.
Impossible.
The whole time he's looking at his phone, he goes,
you're not going to like this.
Well, because I told him that he could stay on the corner.
The Uber would come get us.
And then I look at the Uber is 30 minutes away,
and I know we don't have 30 minutes.
So then we start trucking.
So I go, Tom, you're not going to like what I have to tell you.
That's not, I mean, if I was on mushrooms,
it's almost like I have bad news for you.
Well, this is Adam.
My fucking dad died.
Tom, tell me you just screamed.
My whole fucking fucking my whole family
that's nothing to do
with the monster
dude Rick and Morty
was bad news for me
I put on television
I was like
oh my god
I was just laying
in my hotel room alone
like
dude
we put on TV
in the hotel room
for one second
alright my bad
alright well whatever
okay so we yeah we eventually I tell them we got to walk.
We start walking.
There's two fat guys that are fans.
Prior to this, Shane, I'm sorry to break you up.
Okay, yeah.
Prior to this, all we've been doing is walking.
Me, him, and Cullen.
All they want to do is stop walking.
We haven't moved.
Get to some comfort area.
We haven't moved 20 yards from where we started.
We just kept buzzing around this little area.
Yeah.
Trying to avoid people recognizing us Taking pictures of us
Trying to do all that shit
Before we start the full walk
This guy recognizes Chris as we're crossing the street
He goes, oh fuck, O'Connor
I'm coming to your show in Indiana
No, no, he goes
Oh, you're going to be in Grand Rapids soon, right?
I'm from Grand Rapids
I was like, oh cool
O'Conny's a faggot
and i was like what what and then tommy starts laughing his ass off
i'm like no i laughed and i'm so i said are you from there he's like no no you didn't say a word
you were laughing the whole time i was doing all of the talking, and I'm making horrible small talk.
He calls me a faggot to my face, and I go, oh, Grand Rapids.
Are you from there, or what's going on?
Did you fly down from there?
There was a guy.
I'm so high.
I just want to get out of this thing.
And I'm doing such a bad time.
It's making him laugh even harder.
Yeah, it's funny.
What were you saying?
There was a guy what?
There was one dude that kept calling me a fat faggot.
Any time I'd walk by him the whole time. He's a fat faggot. I'd be like
Yeah, you think that's funny yeah the mushy's yeah when I was I when I hit eject and started walking out
Somebody was like hey, you gotta meet the guys that own Yo Kratom. You got to talk to the owners and president of Yo Kratom.
Dude, if someone said Yo Kratom to me in the middle of this, I would have been like, what is that?
It's a sponsor of Gas Digital and Skagfest.
Is it like a drug thing?
Yeah, I think it's like synthetic heroin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Something like that.
Natural heroin?
Yeah, the bold heroin.
What's-his-face was selling that on the deck the second night we were doing that?
Yo, Kratom?
Yeah.
Yeah, Kratom.
I don't want to talk about it.
Well, anyway, I would have been so high that I'd be like, he's saying normal words and I don't...
I have no idea.
Anyway, Platoon gets us going.
We're walking like three or four blocks in a row now
i'm like no this is this is this is what happened hold on this is what happened yeah yeah dude when
i say flying dude i've never i've never in my life been this fucking high remember when you
walked in here and i did like four grams yeah and i was like on my side watching planet earth and
these these elephant seals jumping to the yeah yeah i'm just
shaking in a blanket this level was great i was so happy this level of high because i was coming
off of a show that i did well on and like eight bud lights i'm just the opposite of what you were
on oh my god i was like dude nothing could stop me i was of land to die in Fucking dying with these God damn seals
I'm so happy
Dude when I say flying let me just say this
It was so orgasmic
In a visual sense where
Lights and
The wind and your body was like
I mean you took them
It was fractal
The lights were literally
Through a prism.
We got to a, we went there the next day.
It was a bus stop that had multicolored lights at the bus stop.
It's four lights.
That was, yeah.
To me, when I bucked that corner, it sent an orb like three blocks.
It looked like Disney World.
It looked like the first entering Disney World.
And I was like, I stopped and I was like, oh my god.
This is fucking beautiful.
Dude, I talked about this on
Dude, I stared at the skyline
from my hotel room all night.
Oh really? Dude, I was like, this city
is the future. In my
head I was like, it looked like a cartoon
like cyberpunk future.
And then I woke up the next morning and I was like
this is a dump.
I'm a fucking moron.
Yeah.
Well,
at night with the lights,
it feels so good.
I kept looking at the sky.
I kept looking at the sky and looking at my watch
being like,
it's gotta be,
the sun has got to come up
soon.
Yeah.
And I couldn't tell.
It's like,
am I like,
yeah,
we keep bopping around.
Well,
no,
this is okay.
This is what happens
after that guy calls me a faggot
Then
We cross the street
Meanwhile I was just calling
And Tommy's
Tommy's laughing at me so hard
These two fans
These two
Big fans
Two fat fans
See how bad
That interaction just went
Like they just
They saw
How out of sorts we are
Change
So they make a choice
I mean like
It was cartoonish.
Big dogs.
Here's what I said.
Let me say this.
I'm sorry, Chris.
Yeah, yeah, no, no.
But we're so locked into this.
It felt like walk,
the way I described this
felt like you were in GTA.
There were two cop cars
at one point
and we were following around
these two fat guys
that waddled like walruses.
They like...
And these were just nice guys
that chose not to interact with us their
palms they didn't walk like this they they they yeah because they couldn't get there yeah just
giant fat bodies yes and we followed them for like what i thought was like three miles yeah
constantly and we were bucking left and right and i'm like what are these guys fucking they're gonna
lead you off a cliff it was less than it was we never once we never once
we followed them for maybe 15 feet that is they made a choice to ignore us they were side by side
with us they were great yes they were good people awesome they were good people they saw because i
saw them like they looked at me and they recognized me and tommy and they looked away and we're like
we don't need to.
Yeah, they're clearly running from this type of situation.
They take a left.
It gets to the second or third block of us following this.
It's one block. And I'm like, we're taking the same lefts and rights.
What is this?
And now I'm wondering what his intentions are.
He keeps looking at this phone saying there's a promise, the promise of a fucking Uber to pick us up to get to the hotel with nothing happening and we keep following these two fat guys and what i said to
you i was like i was like chris do you remember when we watched the sopranos the episodes of the
sopranos that i hate are the dream sequence ones where they go the entire episode you were in i'm
like i feel like i'm in a dream sequence of The Sopranos. We're following these two fat fucking Italians to
nowhere land. And this is my own death.
So finally, I'm like this. I sat
down on a stoop. I had enough.
I'm dying.
I sat down.
I sat down on
a stoop and I'm like, he can't move.
If I'm not moving, he's not moving.
And I'm watching these two fat guys walk through a giant
empty parking lot. Except for one giant Yuk Yeah. And I'm watching these two fat guys walk through a giant empty parking lot.
Except for one giant Yukon.
And they both waddle for like another half mile.
And I'm looking at Chris.
This is true.
Tommy can only see the fat guys.
He doesn't know it's a parking lot.
So he just goes, how can we still see them?
This is embarrassing.
It's a parking lot.
This part is embarrassing.
I'm watching them as i'm watching
chris watch them because i'm thinking in my head i'm like he's got an ulterior motive for these fat
guys i don't know if he's trying to pick up something he's trying to lead them somewhere
this is what my drug induced mind was like he's got me on this trek to meet these two fat
guys and he nodded them off because i i picked up on yeah so
i sat down and now i'm looking at chris's face going it's fine and then he looks this way he's
watching these two fat guys and i'm looking at chris going are you watching these two fat guys
they make their way into a suburban skedaddle off i think it's the end of it chris is still
looking at his phone doing this map quest shit and. And he goes, it's only up here.
It's like a couple more blocks.
We're going to take a left.
We're going to get to the hotel.
How far was your hotel? Exactly.
It was 25 minutes.
Oh, that's tough.
But here's the problem.
I would have passed away.
We nearly did.
Wait till you hear what happens.
Like, okay, let's get through the walk as fast as we can.
The walk was insane.
We couldn't go where the fans, because there's the one under under the bridge the one tunnel under the bridge where all the fans were we went through another
tunnel that was we had to kind of go through the hood and then we were like on track to go to our
hotel it was it was still the same amount of time it wasn't like out of the way it was just sketchier
the whole time tommy wants to stop at every corner and look at anything and i'm like we gotta keep moving i felt secure i'm like we gotta move we gotta move at one point at one point we literally i swear to god we walked
under a tree and we heard a baby bird being born 100 i heard the shell crack i heard it chirping
and i was like tommy we can't look at that. We have to keep going. Because I stopped going. So, meanwhile, every two blocks, Tommy has to take a piss again.
And he's like, I need a place to take a piss.
I find him a dark place.
He goes, I can't fucking piss here.
Where's the hotel?
I'm like, we're going there.
We got to keep walking.
It was another hour.
Yeah.
So, dude.
Another hour.
We get.
My bladder's like. We finally get down the main the main stretch
we're two blocks from the hotel but it's it's like the crowd it's like main street dude it's
the gabriel hood and then something else so all everyone's like a vampire in my fucking eyes and
i'm like enough let's get to the fucking hotel and i'm pointing at stuff i'm like tommy remember
the shake shack from earlier today he's like like, I don't know Shake Shack.
He's completely turned on me to the point where like, so then there's a final.
There's a final.
He's like, enough of this.
I got to take a piss.
He thinks I've been fucking with him the whole time.
We're a block away from the hotel.
The streets are crowded.
The streets are crowded now.
So people are like looking at us.
Like they're ups.
They're like, I don't know what's going on with those two, but it's a problem.
And so I finally.
Chris was walking like this.
I was probably walking like a maniac.
Yeah.
The walk back.
I walked straight to my hotel and two dudes were like, we'll walk you back.
And I was like those dudes were like you alright man I was like I'm so high I think someone drugged me
it was me I drugged me
so anyway we get past The main street No
And the two fat guys
Dude
Pass us this way
And that's when I went nuts
The same two fat guys
That jumped into UConn
What I thought was an hour ago
Are now walking
Past us this way
And Chris's hand
Was the phone the whole time
So I'm like
He's texting these guys
He's arranging something
With the fats
To arrange something
With the fats
So I'm like
What's he getting
So now I'm like
I don't trust any of this.
He's yelling at me.
He's walking behind me
yelling at me
being like,
enough of this.
I can't believe
you did this to me.
People are walking
and I'm going like this
trying to like,
because I'm trying
to put a good face on it
but I can't smile.
I'm smiling at people
crossing the other way
like,
ah,
you know,
he's crazy.
Yeah.
And we take one more
one more turn and i see chris not at these guys in my head i see him not going this and i'm like
dude what what is what is happening we turn the corner chris turns around at me and he looks at
me like this he goes what i tell you we're here he said it just like that Very calmly He goes come with me
And this is what I see
In my fucking head
Yeah yeah yeah
He walks to this door
Opens it up
He goes
Huh?
And I walk in
And it was like
It was like
It was like walking
Into paradise
The hotel door
Was already
Or the hotel
I'm sorry
The elevator door
The elevator door
Was open
Dude
You could finally get into
There was a circular bar in the middle of the
lobby
and there was just a guy
and there was a cone of light around him.
It felt like heaven.
And we get in there.
You guys have a hotel bar in Houston.
In Houston.
Dude, his biggest fear was
I literally
after the walk. I couldn't have a whiskey at the hotel bar.
I can't believe you guys didn't.
I couldn't.
That's how fucked up I was.
I thought for sure you would have a whiskey.
I wouldn't have let him.
I can't imagine that order.
Which is probably fucked up.
What that guy would have had to deal with.
Dude, can I have a whiskey, please?
Oh, no.
It would have been a million times worse.
I get into the elevator lot or i am so proud of myself for getting us home yeah platoon leader's like i did it the elevator door closes the elevator door closes still hot about it
i expect o'connor's a shady boy yeah he is that could have been something i don't know
so in my
head I'm going this is what he does on the road he gets these two fatties to either fucking sell
him heroin or pound his ass this is what I'm thinking all right I don't think it's either
of those but it's something he's a shady boy no I'm crazy crazy head at this point I get in what
did I say to you in the elevator the elevator door closes and I expect him to be like dude, fucking thank you
so much, holy shit
I can't believe I doubted you
he goes
what's going on with those two fat guys?
I turn around
and I'm like trying to keep the trip
still in a positive place
I'm like, they're gone man
they're gone
and he goes goes not to me this
whole time this whole time I was like damn I wish I was with someone yes I'm
so glad I was alone oh my god so glad I was alone if I had another guy that was
tripping as hard as I was, that would have fucked me up.
The drugs were so nuts.
We think it was what, like dipped in acid?
It had to be.
No, I talked to the guy.
Oh, really?
I found the guy who grew those mushrooms.
Those were grown in a closet in upstate New York.
Oh, my God.
In a dude's closet.
How did you find the guy?
No way.
He came to my podcast.
What?
He was at one of my shows.
And he said, I'm the one who gave Chris a bag of mushrooms.
Yes.
And then he gave some to Matt.
Really?
Oh, this is a funny story.
Did Matt take them?
I don't think I'm going to get Matt in trouble on this.
So Matt put them in his, some like box in the Skankfest bag.
And when he got home, his dog ate them oh so it's Matt's
dog so this dog's munched dogs munched a ton of wheat his dog and every time it
munches weed it's like he said this thing munch these shrooms it was like
it wanted to play all night the dog was trying to
play with him and matt matt took him to the dog park the dog was literally like in the middle
of the night he took him to a dog park at 10 p.m and this thing just sprinted
and matt's wife was like what what's wrong because matt came down the steps
and saw that the dog got into the box and was like, oh, fuck. And his wife was like, what?
What's wrong?
He's like, nothing.
And the dog was sitting there like.
Did Matt try them yet?
I don't think Matt had them.
Because the first thing that came to my mind was.
His dog ate them.
You've got to get these to Butterly.
Because Butterly's a, you know, a kind of sword.
Oh, my God.
Dude, I mean, we had a conversation on the phone
while we were still on them.
We're like, just burn those.
Or maybe in the morning.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's like, put those in the toilet, bro send those to hell the whole time those things suck
the whole time i started worrying because you're so emotionally uh available beyond belief where
i kept going we have to call norman we have to ask where shane is dude that's what bothered me
the most so i got, once they hit me,
I was like,
oh fuck,
Norman is dead.
Cause Mark doesn't do drugs like that.
Right, right.
So I was like,
Norman's fucked.
So I went and found Mark and he was like,
ah,
I didn't take him.
Put him in my pocket.

He hits his, he peaks way later,
and he's rustling in the bed.
Well, we had a couple interactions.
He's trying to fall asleep.
Before I start really slipping,
I was like, Tommy, drink some water,
and I gave you a bottle of water,
and you're like, with your fucking dirty lips all over it?

And then after
After that
The thing

What was the thing
I was like
I forgot about it already.
But yeah, but I didn't.
Yeah, yeah.
That's unbelievable.
You said that.
The door shuts.
I swear to God, this is very embarrassing.
Chris is meandering around the hotel.
He's like fucking grabbing his hair.
He sits down on the bed.
And I'm still standing, staring at him like, what am I missing here?
I'm still trying to piece the puzzle together going, this is all wrong.
Two fat guys happen to walk by. That's it yeah two totally different fat guys oh was it yeah yeah
the first set of fat guys skank fest is fat dudes walking around yeah yeah yeah true a bunch of
agent smiths they transform every time you know yeah it was that was good dude we had another one where so after i so
he's still he again he's thinking this is a trap i can't believe he's not so happy that i pulled
this off he goes he goes yo man i think it might go back out and i was like well because he kept
scurrying in the sheets no no this was before I even got into bed.
This is when I was just like sitting on the bed.
You were like, I think I'm going back out.
And I was like, all right, man, if you need to do that, you do that.
I can't go with you.
And you were like, all right.
And you went into the bathroom.
You went into the bathroom. Oh, you probably saw a mirror.
You put himself together.
You probably saw a mirror and were just like, I'm going back to bed.
I'm going to go back in the living room.
Dude.
Yeah, yeah.
Then you made an absolute mess of the bathroom.
I walked into the bathroom and you go, look what you fucking did.
Yo, Chris has shift.
We're so hard.
All of this, I'm just like, I can't engage in this.
Otherwise, we're both going to be totally fucked.
We're sitting on the edge of the bed looking at each other each other's two double beds. And we just kept going. This has to
end soon. It just has to end soon. And I looked at him. I was like, I don't want to do this
anymore. I just don't want to do like, you know, when a high is so bad, you're like,
I want it to end. Oh, yeah, dude, I was so I get up and I start I start rolling around
the carpet like a fucking Oh yeah, we walked together
in circles.
Yeah, in circles.
And then finally,
this is where he takes a turn.
That was the compromise.
And I'm sitting on the edge of bed going,
where are you going? What are you doing?
He's trying to calm the fuck down. I'm like, get up.
Get to listen to music or do something.
We're not even at it. Talk to me. Start talking. Thank God. I mean like, get up. Yeah. Listen to music or do something. This is like, we're not even talk to me.
Start talking.
Oh, God.
Thank God.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I went through a personal hell.
Yeah.
I laid there and stared at a
fucking that see the ceiling in
my hotel.
My hotel had a like abstract
painting on the wall that dude,
I was just like, yeah, we said
this.
We said our we looked we laid in bed and looked at a
lamp the hotel room was almost built
for a trip house like
visually it had all the things
oh yeah if you're just gonna fucking space
out on your own this is kind of ideal
it was that was nice except
I tried to watch TV
dude that was the only thing that fucked me
dude I put on and it was direct TV
he's like trust me you don't want to watch this
it was direct TV so there's 9000
channels and guide wouldn't work
so I just had to hit up
on the channel just try to go somewhere
I ended up on like Somalian
local news
oh my god
fucked me up so bad they were like
this is the one true
free speech network in all of somalia and i
was just like whoa dude this is real free speech like these guys are getting their fucking heads
chopped they're like we're recording the local dudes from a secret bunker compound if they find
yeah it was real it was that dude oh my god do we he finally just lays down and starts flipping
around well you turn the tv
on and there was i was like you don't turn the tv on i don't think you're gonna like it and you
turn the tv on and there was some commercial and i don't know if i don't know if i don't know if
this is a real commercial or where you just but there was literally we just heard one line and
it was just like i don't know if mommy sucks or she's just the internet and then her face like went all digital and we
were like tommy like if you need me and we were like all right and i was like i told you don't
i was like oh rick and morty's on i put that on i was like what kind of fucking dumb motherfucker
likes this shit fuck this and then i started i was like thinking about the writers that made this I was like they think they're smart
and I was like
I just
I hated Rick and Morty
and then
I fell asleep
which was great
I couldn't believe that
I fell asleep
for like a half hour
and then Chris called again
yeah
how you doing
and that was when it broke
yeah
just one nap
and I was like
yeah
I'll never forget
thank God I'm okay
even when it broke
I remember looking at stuff.
You know how, like, that's your test, right?
To see how high you are, you look at, like, a curtain.
And if the curtain is flowing.
Yeah, it was still there.
There's no wind.
It was still there.
It was still visually.
It was so bad that at the end of the night is where that was our goal,
was just to have that.
Yeah, just to have everything you see move.
It's like, all right, that's still, that's okay.
Yeah, it looked insane, but you could still make sense of it. Did you bring them home? Yeah, just to have everything you see move. It's like, alright, that's still okay. Yeah, it looked insane, but you could still make sense of it.
Did you bring him home? Yeah, I still have him.
No, never.
Just one more time. I'm not doing that.
All three of us will do half of it.
I'll do it.
In a fucking heartbeat.
Yeah, you will do it.
There's enough left to go
a year.
Matt's dog munched that.
How much did he eat?
I think the dog munched a lot of that.
Dude.
Well, if you take away all of the...
We were talking about it in the car,
and I think it was either Gardini or Noah,
it was like, your dog saw color.
He munched that.
It was like...
Holy shit.
We got to go to the dog park.
That was me pissing in the construction site.
Holy shit, this is incredible.
It's so funny, Matt.
At like 11 p.m., took his dog to the dog park.
The dog was like...
Just sprinting around.
Dude, I wonder how long it lasted for the dog.
I mean, his dog...
What kind of dog is it? It's a pit bull that gets into everything. Yeah, yeah. dude I wonder how long it lasted for the dog I mean his dog Pat's dog has
it's a pit bull that gets into everything
so Matt's always you know he's concocting
shit he's making like weed gummies
every once in a while a full batch of weed gummies
will fall victim to a pit bull
that's just
he'll be like who the fuck's my weed
I'll turn around and the dog's in the corner like
oh shit Jackson ate the pot imagine being another
dog and meeting like a druggie pit bull in a dog park like this dude is this guy's fucked up
but yeah that was interesting to hear matt talk about how like
the mushrooms the dog did well on mushrooms yeah that's that's amazing. That's amazing. I mean, I guess, I don't know.
It's like, there's got to be a limit.
If a dog hallucinated, it would be violent.
Yeah, scared.
Like it would start fighting.
Yeah, it would be like Tommy with the back.
Tommy, Tommy's a pit bull.
You know what?
You're a pit bull, dude.
Well, also, they don't-
You are a fucking pit bull, dude.
I know.
Fucking fat guys coming around.
I'm going to fuck them up. I wish you were there. It were there it was so no i'm so glad i wasn't there we followed these guys for for a mile and i'm like there's no reason we
should be following these two fat guys we could take any different turn and i know and i couldn't
look at my phone i couldn't i tried to look up the hotel and it was just mayhem and i'm like well i
gotta trust the platoon leader again dude yeah
I was panicking
you did take control though
he did
you did
the phone call you had with
I've
well I've
I've taken too many mushrooms
in a situation like that
before and known
you just gotta get home
Cullen went back
into the mix
that was crazy
I can't
but he said he didn't last long
Shane was in the shit
for a while
he was in the green room
for a while forever and that's the green room for a while.
And that's with your boys, right?
No, but I was getting hit with it.
I saw I was taking pictures.
There's so many pictures of me.
Yeah.
Yes, dude.
Like crazy photos.
Yes, dude.
And yeah, I was, but every time I tried to leave, somebody would stop me.
Yeah, exactly.
From the green room to the front door, it took a half hour.
Easily.
I remember Butterly telling me about acid.
He's like, we're going to take acid.
You want to take acid?
I'm like, ah.
The connotation of the word in my past, I was like, that's crazy.
He's like, dude, it's so much better than mushrooms.
So much better.
I think it is.
We took it two days later, and I was like, this is all I wanted.
Little head games
you can hang out
with your boys
laugh the whole fucking time
yeah
it was me
Foley
Cannon

the reason I took
that
those mushrooms

easily the wildest night
oh my god
without a doubt
before you walked in
oh my god

yeah we were just like
this is just gonna be
something that's happening
in the background
while I have a few beers
and enjoy myself
yeah
nope
that thing was front and center, dude.
We're going to do it again.
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
We're definitely going to do drugs.
Yeah, well,
I'll definitely do mushrooms again.
We have the B batch.
Just, yeah.
Yeah, one night of whiskeys
and it's going to be gone.
Yeah.
No, we'll do a little bonfire out back.
Just us three.
We'll take half of what we did
and we'll go for one loop around the block.
And if two fat guys show up...
It's going to be hell to pay.
You're going to see two fat guys.
There's no question about it.
You are going to hallucinate.
You'll probably just see me double standing in the kitchen.
They're here!
You might be Uncle Jude, dude.
You're Uncle Jude.
I'm Tony.
Just taking my Oculus off like,
oh my God.
Right.
Did you order a fucking couch?
Did you order these two fatties?
Oh shit, I gotta go let my lady in.
Yeah, I think we're pretty much.
Yeah, we're good.
