The Golden Hour - You Still See, What's His Name? Bryan Callen? | #200

Episode Date: September 4, 2026

Brendan is back for episode 200. He's coaching 10U tackle football and his defense still hasn't given up a touchdown. Chris just headlined a comedy festival in Portugal and has his first trip to Paris coming up. The guys get into Brian Callen missing the Monday show, why none of them have ever missed a flight, how much therapy is too much, a therapist who bragged about a client to his golf buddies, and not wanting to talk to barbers, chiropractors or Uber drivers. Then it's real fighters beating up online tough guys, Brian Callen's friend who supposedly fought Cheick Kongo on a beach, the fake Amy Poehler podcast scam, a custom steering wheel order that's been "in transit" for weeks, and the $300 estate auction couch Rachel bought. After Brendan leaves to get the kids, Chris and Erik cover Calvin sleeping in their bed, The Long Walk and every Stephen King book that became a movie, self-publishing success stories like The Martian and Wool, the Tupac verdict, GTA 6, and Tim Dillon on the women showing up to support Lindsay Clancy at her trial.Get two extra episodes every month at https://Patreon.com/TheGoldenHourPodcastTo submit to the show email: [e-mail] or Dropbox Link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/fqtbexhxyaky9X8f8MV1In the subject line, specify whether your submission is King It or Sting It, Debate Club, Rip My Drip, Relationship Advice, or Flaunt My Aunt.

I'm thriving, brother. Yeah, I'm thriving. Never been happier, man. Never been happy. And now, do you still talk to, what was his name? Brian Callan? We're friends that shout. Sometimes we don't know what we're talking about, but that won't stop.

Nothing can stop I heard you've been working out, Chris I'm trying to give you some motivation, dude I'm just gonna do the entire show like this I'll see how long you can hold it I'm starting to get lightheaded and lightheaded Okay now it's the podcast

It wasn't going We didn't start yet Oh Oh I just said that so much Brennan okay man I know that's good You're healthy and you're I'm trying to help you guys out

No. How? How? Because I've been gone and you guys looked like you're out of shape. No, that's not true, dude. And then I think we all know who he's talking about. It's still okay to go with you guys. Look at you guys.

This is like, I feel like you're running into your ex at a coffee shop. Oh, man, dude. You look really skinny. Yeah. What's up? You've been on redda? Like your head looks really. big. You know what I mean?

Doesn't it doesn't it? You on Redda? No, I'm saying I think his body used to be a little bigger so then it like was more. Yeah, yeah. I mean I get that but dude are you on redder or what? What do you want? What do you want right now? I'm on fucking coaching vibes. I'm out in the sun 24-7. Wow. I love 24-7. That's just great.

Oh, they're balling. You just out there on the sideline like yeah. Yeah. We don't imagine the parents. Here's the thing too just sucks about this for the other parents. Because one, his kids are the best. Right. And then he's on the sideline looking like this. Right, right.

So they're just, every time his kid scores, their parents are like, yay. Right. Okay. Again. Yeah. Again. Oh, the shop boys again. Yeah.

I'm an intense 90s football coach, man. Oh. I coach the, I coach the 10-you-tackle football team, and it's intense. We've given up, we've given up, you're ready for this. We've had three scrimmages against some of the. top teams. My defense has given up one first down in three games. Oh, that's not fair, huh?

I know. Zero touchdowns. You don't allow it. We actually don't allow touchdowns from the other team. I know. At practice, he's probably like, we think,

all right, each kid, come try to tackle me. If you can give me, he's just throwing kids. Bro, I'll tell you what, though,

no one told me it's a full-time job. Yeah, well, it is. Yeah, welcome. Full-time job. But is it one of those jobs that it, it's as full time as you make it

and then that's probably why you're winning is because you're making it right. Yeah. He's getting paid from the reins. Right, right, right, right, right. Oh, you're like that guy, Dejean Love.

I can't get enough of that guy. It's amazing, man. Eric doesn't know about it. Yeah, the guy. Oh, you know about it. Oh, you know about it. Oh, you sent it. I thought Nick sent it.

Nick sent it, bro. But do you sure? Yeah, I think, yeah, maybe some of the teams we played they don't put as much time into it, but then me and the other coach, AJ, who played high level ball, we, we, we know,

we're on it, man. Yeah, that's good. These kids are, these kids are bawling. Oh, that's great. Speaking of ball and I'm pretty, I'm working out a lot. You are.

Yeah, you do look good, dude. Thanks, bro. So do you, you've lost weight too, Eric, Con. Yeah, the, the, freaking testosterone stuff really like, you know. Oh, yeah. Because then I was, I was,

the lady wanted to up the dosage, and I said, no, I don't want to do that because I like the balance. And then I'm going to, I just have to incorporate the workout. Yeah. That's probably more, going to be more helpful than just being on drugs or whatever. Yeah. Plus you like your pussy wet.

You know what I mean? Yeah. I want to have a little pussy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but it's good. I like, I like, run it up, dude, dog. Just wait until I start lifting again. Yeah.

Let me get bigger than you. Let me. You'll never hear the end of it. I do. I would send Brendan a, uh, uh, thing the other day where it said, if you can lift 225 on your chest, then that's amazing. And he says, well, what,

what about if you can do it 40 times in a row? He always got to make it. Yeah, I can do it like seven. We can't just be happy, right? You can't just be like, hey, dude, I did this. And immediately he goes, what can you do it 40 times? Yeah. So Chris sent that. And I go, oh, that's

cool because it's like saying, if you can do it more than five times, less than 1% of the nation, you do it more than five times. No, it was once. That's cool. Yeah, yeah, one. That's right. I said, damn, that's crazy. What's the guy save can do it 40, though? Yeah. And Christian says, I don't know, man.

Yeah, but what do you mean that for? No, you don't. I mean, you don't. Like 1% of people can do it. So that means like, like, you never need that unless somebody's like, oh my God, can you help me? Yeah. I have 2.25. Yeah, yeah.

It's on top of me. Yeah. Yeah. Like, my dude. Brin is there. Brin is there. House is on fire. You got a big bitchers are big.

They look like women? Yeah. First well but first of all they didn't have no none of them had big butts. None of them had ass. No asses didn't come cool to Kim K. K. No no it was something about the It was something about the workout, though, that it made it like... Yeah, they had long asses.

It was those aerobic things that don't do anything to the ass. Well, that's true. But also, they had long ass. They had long asses. Yeah, it was flat asses, big tits, blonde bleached hair. The big tits, like, if you had a big ass, they made fun of you. They made funny if you had a big ass. It's like, I get made fun for a big weener.

As much as I like it, no matter where I go, I come back and I go, oh, man, thank God. When my parents were living in Spain, you know, I would go and it would be like, it's just like the way they live, there's a certain part of you that you, you, you miss, like, the accessibility of everything in the United States, you know?

Like, you go there, like, like, Spain is, that's a lazy-ass country. Yeah, I know. Like, you know, I'm talking about, they shut, everything shuts down and one to four. You know what I mean? And you're just kind of like, I didn't lunch yet too. Even the immigrants were in Spain and they were like, hey, it's okay. Yeah, you know, but it's like the cost of living is really low there. But it's different, like certain things, you know.

Yeah. No, I, I think people romanticize about like living in Spain or living in Barcelona. It's like, go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah. And yeah, I don't know. I don't know. You know, I mean, I'm going to, I'm going to Paris for the first time and I'm going to.

Is the wife coming? I hope, no, I don't think so. I want her to buy her. Oh, Paris is romantic, dude. You got to bring the wife. If you go to Paris by yourself, there's nothing gay or dude. But listen to me. You've got to take wifey, otherwise it's super zesty.

I'm going to be there for one day. And then I got another show the next day. for what? Yeah, you gotta take her. Yeah, you gotta take her. For Paris to like, you know, you know what I mean? Yeah, but I'm just saying. Paris is like a-

So Brian, Monday's show. We've been doing the show 15 years together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's always late. Makes up shit. Oh, there's a volcano. I can't get out. Some bullshit.

Still. Monday he just, Monday he just goes. Bro, straight up. It's left in. Miss my flight. Not going to make it. I just went, man, I appreciate you being honest. He was, man, let's do it later.

I said, not a chance. I'll see you Wednesday. That's just where we're at. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. He was in my, I was doing, he was in Miami, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Can I tell you something? He's 60. In the history of me doing this over 20 years, I have never missed a flight. Never once. Not one fucking time have I missed a flight. Not once. Like, it's not even in me to miss a flight.

Same. You know what I mean? I'm at the airport right now. Yeah, yeah. I got a person in line for me that I hire, that they're just at security. Never. Oh, you mean we're responsible adults? Yeah.

That's one of those things that like, you know, when you start dating someone, like when you first started dating your wives, right? You know? And then you're going to go travel with them. You have to sort of establish these boundaries up front because I like to get to the airport early. Yeah, but women don't. Rachel want to chase the plane. You know what I mean? like Tom Cruising

Yeah she want to be on a runway Let us in You know what I mean So I had to break that from jump She was like why are we going to the airport so early I was like oh this what we do bitch In the beginning of first I Yeah yeah

This is what we doing you know so it's like I don't get that thing I never the closest I've ever come to missing a flight Was in Portugal It's because the fucking Customs holy shit dude Oh right that kind of stuff Yeah but that's not all you

No, right, a little bit, sure. It depends on the time you gave you. Yeah, I mean, it would have been my fault, I think, because I stopped and I ate at the airport like an idiot, and then I went to. Yeah. No, no, for me, one time I was in London, and they had this train that goes from, like,

at whatever time. And I didn't realize that the train didn't start at a time where you can make your, like, you know, you know what I mean? So I was like, I was like, so I'm missing my flight. Oh, yeah. Then I had to go to late, And the lady says to me, lucky your 1K, you know, in United that's such an attitude.

But that's the only time I never. Yeah. I mean, that's different than, that is different than that's different. If you're just, this is what I don't like. You're just at home. No, I've never missed a flight. You're like, hey, what do we doing? Oh, I have to, you know, whatever.

And then you like missed a flight. Like, no thank you. Yeah. Bro, bro, the only flight I've ever been even close to missing, it's only happened once I've flown like you guys a million fucking times. it was when I was supposed to fly out for camp for the Buffalo Bills. My dad was like, hey, man, you better get going, and he was going to take me. I don't know.

I don't know. I just like last track of time. Wow. And my dad was so stressed going down like a fucking 100 miles an hour down the highway. I almost missed the flight. And that would have been disastrous. You know what? Oh, wow.

You're not really wanting to do it. I don't know. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. My feelings are super hurt. Psychiatrist over her. I'm just saying, you know. That's self-sabotage.

Man, I'm trying to make the lead, dog. Listen, if I go to a psychiatrist and they do that, I would just be like, I got to get out of here. That guy believes too much in himself, right? Yeah. Somebody's like, so Chris. They usually do this. Let's back up a few steps.

Oh, God. Yeah, fuck. Let's talk about your mother. It's always about the moms. Let's talk about your mother. Wait, I know you got into therapy, but before everything, did you ever do therapy before that? I remember the first time I ever was,

went to therapy. Like I just want, I said, let me try that, you know, because I was whatever was dealing with, right? And I, and I, the person starts talking. And I remember being like this. I was like, nope. Yeah. Yeah.

Same. Same. Same. I tried it once. Oh, no. It's not for me. Dude, I didn't vibe with this person. I just remember thinking, now I'm not telling you all my dark secrets.

I don't know you like this, bitch. Oh, my God. In my mind. I was like, I don't know you like that. And I just, I left. I really was like, yeah, this isn't. You know, and I didn't go back for a while. Then I remember going back later for other reasons.

And I was like, oh, I really like this. I don't love going. I don't love therapy. I've done it for a while. I did it for a while. And, you know, it helped me, I guess, work some stuff out. I don't think it's bad. But, like, I do think too much of it is bad.

Like, I don't, you know, the second you're doing it like twice a week and like, you know, or you got different therapists, I think it's too much, at least for me it was. I can always tell. I can always tell somebody's taking too much therapy. because they start saying certain words. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm making space for this. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah. I value what you're saying. Yeah. I suck my thing. I acknowledge what you're saying. I appreciate it. But coming from my perspective, I'll fuck off.

Yeah. I think therapy is like training and you don't, you never play a game. Oh, yes. What's the game be for therapy? Life. Life.

It's taking these coping mechanisms and using them in life. You can't always just go talk about them. But I remember the therapist that moved me the most is I'm talking to her. She said, tell me why you, you know. And then she says these words and I was hooked. She says, you have an exaggerated sense of responsibility. I heard that and I was like, I'm listening.

I'm listening. I'm listening. That got me. And I was like, yeah, I was like, I'm listening. And I was like, okay, so you're really assessing. And then they got to a point where I was like, I said, yeah, I think I'm done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, and then that part, she was like, you know what, you are done.

Good luck. You know. Oh, wow. You got a reward. Dude, I fucking went and they're like, you know, tell me about your trauma. And I go, I don't have trauma. She goes, well, just tell me about it. And then we'll decide at the end.

She's like, trauma is different for everybody. I got a buddy. Like I'm telling her about my friends, trauma in their childhood. So I go through all mine and she's like, you have some of the most severe trauma I've ever heard of. I'm like, oh, and let me guess. I need to buy a package to keep talking about it. But I'm sorry, it was a guy.

I go the following whatever week, two weeks later. He goes, hey man, you'll find this pretty funny, which is super illegal. He goes, I was golfing with my buddies. And I mentioned doing my work with you. And they freaked out. What? You can't do that. He broke hip-a-laws.

Yeah, I was like, oh, well, this is done. You didn't go to a real therapist. This is over. It was real. It was Israel. It was Brian Callum. You are such an Andrews-Selling. That's that.

Oh, man. he probably thought that was cool. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, he thought it was cool. You know, he probably thought that was cool. Then you were just going to be like, oh, well, who was it? Thanks for, you know, it's like, I think the look on your face, he probably thought, oh, I think I made a mistake.

Oh, I was just like, check please. Check please. Like you say, fucking. Thanks for the therapy. Can I have the check? That'd be great after every therapy session. They give you a check. It says on there, we dealt with your mom.

We dealt with, you know, and you have to sign. Do you like the tip here? Yeah. I don't know. Whatever, dude. I don't even like talking about therapy. I don't even like talking about it because it's like, let me just fucking deal with my problems inside my head

and not really talk about them when I don't want to. And then if I do want to, let's make jokes about them, dude. Yeah, yeah, that's what we do. Oh, man. Here's my thing, right? Therapy's the new hotness. Like, therapy's the hotness, right?

Everyone, go see a therapist. Make sure you tell somebody, go to this. Yeah, yeah. How's that going? Oh, weird. The suicide rates through the rule. since we started this whole meet with a therapist, tell your friends, all this shit.

Those people that weren't in therapy. It's never been higher. Yeah, but those people aren't in therapy. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Like, what are the percentage of your people? They are, though, Chris. They are there.

You know what I'm saying? Like back in the day before we had all this therapy, dude just got to work. He kept your feelings in. You bottle them up. Maybe you tell your buddy at the bar, and then you get to work, dude. It's not even your buddy.

You tell the bartender. Yeah, but they all died at like 50. you know. Brendan's about that. Well, that's diet. Here's my feelings. Yeah. I'm going to push them down like I do that 225 and I'm going to do it 40 times like this.

I'm doing feeling repressers. Four sets. Four sets of 10. That be a great gym, right? That's the gym. You go in. There's not no equipment. Yeah.

Over there you think about how your mom ruined you and I need you to do like just suppress it. Suppress it. Dude, wouldn't it be dope if your therapist was actually a high? high-end masseuse and just like rubbing your back like tell me out your childhood and then you're there for an hour well that's valuable that's valuable too is masseuse you don't have they don't have to all be an all in one but yeah and they should also feed you and suck you I know but you're just talking about a wife I know but I don't want to talk there's there's do your laundry okay guys guys guys guys guys get your dirty clothes they give you a burger and massage you and ask you about your day oh hell yeah dude

there are people that you go to for certain things that you're in like close proximity to that I don't want to have conversations with. Of course. And that is really frustrating. Yeah. Like I went to this barb. I was out of town.

I needed to get a haircut. Uber drivers. And I went to the barber shop, right? And you know, the guy's cutting your hair. You know, I'm just like, okay, okay. And then he starts like, what are you in town for? And I'm like, oh, my God. Yeah.

The worst. You know what are you in town for? Like, I'm like, bro, just like, and then this guy's controlling your look right now. You don't want to be a dick, you know? You said, dude, I don't want to talk. You're like this. All right. You think the guy doesn't want to talk?

You want to see how he doesn't want to purpose? There's nothing worse. Like now I got a legit bar router. But when I was like trying to find a good barbeder he sit down and they go, so what do you do for work? It's like, oh, I don't want to get into this. My chiropractor talks too much.

But he at least admits it. He knows he talks too much. That is, that does go a long way. You know what I mean? He's just like, look, man. He says like this. Look, I ask a lot of questions. I'm going to talk a lot.

Is he am. you know and I'm like okay all right because at least you could be like yo bro come on man you know many questions but he could he but the thing is like chiropractor is not necessarily a massage but there's some things they do that you just kind of want to ooh that hurts yeah he wants so I'm in the middle of breathing

heavy because he's in a knot and he's like yeah so how was that trip you went on this weekend and I'm just like bitch you know what I but he's great I don't know I love him but it's like he does talk too much I just don't like I don't like talking to people you know Uber yeah Uber driver

though? Like, I don't mind Uber drivers when it's a... Quiet, you go. When it's an old black dude because I know that... Oh, they're fun. He's retired.

Because it's always the same conversation. I go, why are you doing this? He goes, oh, man, I retired like 22 years ago and I just need something to do. So I'm just like... You know, it's just like, and I love that. Because they get the stories. Well, you know where it wasn't the same back then.

What the fuck am I in Louisiana? Yeah. So I've got to do a few of those. But yeah, I don't want to talk to. But even, you know, I think they're resentful when you have that option and you put it. You know what it says like, I don't want to talk. Oh, for sure. So offensive.

There's an Uber driver's when they checked out. But you know what I'll do. So to make sure the Uber driver just doesn't talk my ear off and ask a bunch of questions, I come in with questions. What up, man? How's your day? I'll start talking. Oh, yeah, where are you from? And then because I don't want him to turn around and be like, so what do you do?

I know. I get that. Oh, this, this. I get that. He doesn't want to talk about himself so much. Yeah. Even, yeah.

That he becomes. He's the therapist. I'm the chatist now. Yeah. Like the fucking. The Uber driver's like, Hey man, can we just be quiet on their ride?

This is very me, but I don't want to have to put headphones on because of what you're doing. But I already have them on. Well, you want them on. Yeah. Right, I don't.

So if I got to put on headphones. Well, then you're going to have to talk. Then you're inviting him to. to talk. Tell a story. You're asking for stories. I might say something like, yeah. And then I keep going real short.

Uh-huh. You know what it feels like? You've got to be like Arnold Schwarzenegger and true lies. You know, like you're just lying to your family for 25 years about what you really do. You got to make it super boring because the messed up part is like, you know, when they go, what are you in town for? And then you don't, you go, I'm a comic.

And then as soon as you say that, it's just like, oh, my God. You know, Dale Chappelle? Yeah. You know, Dave, that. Fuck. It turns into that. I'm sure the same kind of thing if you're like, yeah, well,

I do this, I used to be a fighter or whatever, you know, then it just becomes a whole thing. They'll be like this. Oh, you do stand up?

Do you know this guy who, oh man, I saw the other day he was so funny. And it turns out to be like fucking Nate Brugatsy and you're like, he's the biggest fucking comic in the world. Yes.

Who's the guy, Bill Burr, that's it. You're like, yeah, I know, I know who he is. Bro,

all of guys, I just, happens all the time at this truck shop I deal with. They're like, man, do you, do you know smoking Joe Razor? Yeah, he was a boxer in New Jersey, man. How about three fights? You know him? You know Slimmy Foot Jr.?

It's like there in Mississippi. Like there's one bar that all the fighters are out in? Yeah. You should just always respond with, I killed that man. I killed that man in early 2010 in a fight. You know that fighter I sent you, that thing, that guy's Instagram? I don't know if that's real or not. Does he really doing that or is that all set up?

You guys would know this fighter, but he like, he's always like beating up online bullies. Is that, I don't know if that's real. What's his name? Bully B. Down? No, he's got some kind of like. You sent it to Nick? Some Roganoff or something.

He's got one of those kind of like. Beef Roganoff? He's got one of those names. That's his name. Befrogonoff. This guy. You know? What's his name?

How can I see it, Chin? I got it. Do you know who he is, Nick? This. I don't know who that is. They look like they're five foot four. This guy fought at the, I thought he fought at the White House thing.

I thought this was the guy, one of the guys in those undercards at the White House fight. Everything is content. Yeah, but these, you know, he's like, and then these bullies, you know, come in, they talk shit to him,

and then, like, you know, he beats him up. And I don't know if it's real or not. And he's the guy on the right, correct? Yeah. Oh, well. I just don't understand why anybody would challenge a guy who fights to a fight to a fight.

Well, a lot of these online people, listen, a lot of these people online, they've never experienced anything in real life. Everything's content. They say stuff. It's like that guy that Mani Pachial beat up. You know that guy that Asian dude that's online? He's always like, I'm the best. He's fighting in the world.

Mani Pachial beat his ass. You know what I mean? He beat his ass. And it's like, you go, oh, well, then everything you did online is fake. So a lot of these, like, online guys, they like to talk trash. And then this real fighter was like, I'll beat you up. There was a guy this past week, and granted he didn't really fight another real fighter,

but he's online, and forget his name. King Azule. What is it? King Azule. King of Zule, I guess. He's big online. He's like telling these stories how he's in the mob, how he fought 30 guys.

Yeah, yeah, I know that guy. I know about it. He fought 30 guys. He's done this. He beat 40 guys. He was the muscle for the mafia and signs up for a real fight. Doesn't fight a real fighter,

but then got beat up. Really? Like his whole show. stick has been he's being this badass thing gets in this fight and he can't fight my thing is like if that's your stick why the fuck would you sign up for real fight yeah for real bro if you're gonna lie keep the lie going it's like that dejon love guy for the saying he's a 49ers then the nineers like cool yeah yeah come on into the game he's like what the fuck like yeah go play receiver go run in the middle go run in the middle field let me not

go's for you yeah but if you're a guy that's like you know let's say you're a bouncer at a club okay and like the people that come to the club none of these people most of the people you run into probably have never really been in a fight sure you probably can handle that sure but these people that train and this is all they do is train like they you know yeah that's yeah of course you're just they're just training all the time and they're fighting all the time that's like a whole other level that oh bro bro bro Brian Callan had this buddy and Brian with in this one I first met

I already know Brian's wrong. Dude, so Brian had this buddy, and he was like, yeah, man, he fought like Vanderlae Silva. He fought Czech Congo on a beach. And I go, what do you mean? He goes, he has like 40 fights, dude. He wrestled at Arizona State. I go, really? What's his name?

And I know guys that wrestle Arizona State. And he tells me, I go, I've never heard of him, man. He goes, now I'm telling these guys the real deal. I'm like, okay, Brian. So I meet him. And I go, hey, Brian mentioned you wrestled at Arizona State? He goes, yeah, yeah, I go, what years? He told me the years ago, oh, man, my coach.

Coach McVe Van Arsdale was there. And then I know Kane and Ryan Bader and those boys. Wow. When were you there? He's like, oh, man, that makes sense. Oh, there we go. You love this. He goes, listen, I wasn't like a fishing on the team,

but they would let me in to the practice room to wrestle with them. So it's like the same thing. And I go, okay. And then he goes, yeah, but I've been some fights too. I go, yeah, Brian mentioned you fought Czech Congo? He goes, yeah, man, Brazil on the beach. I go, it was a sanctioned fight. He goes, yep.

And I go, oh, damn, I train with Chuck Congo. I know, I have a cell phone. I can, you want me to call him? Dude, I'll do a FaceTime with him. He goes, nah, no, no. He goes, maybe not Czech Congo. Oh, wow. What was the guy's name?

I look at Brian, I go, really? Really, motherfucker? Come on, dude. Well, he also was going to be on Amy Poller's podcast, too. And he was going to tell those stories. The whole thing is bullshit He was gonna be with Amy Polar Like I knew a guy that fought Chet Conga on

This is Brian This Brian a year later Maybe it wasn't Amy Polar Maybe he's Amy Schumer Dude Brian When he got a hustle At Amy Polar I go Brian At what point did you realize

It wasn't actually Amy Polar He goes Well I was talking to her assistant And they told me I was gonna zoom in And then the guy goes Hey, I want to take control of your laptop. So give me access. And he goes, and then I gave him access.

And I saw the mouse moving around. And it wasn't in the camera specs and all that. Started going to my bank account. No. This is what he said? Yeah, dude. He goes, and then I got out, man. I got out.

So he shared the access with him? Oh, yeah. And he had full access to his computer. And went and saw the guy go to into his bank account? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Are you fucking kidding me? There's a scamming right now is so big that I think that. So hot right now. I think that bill collectors right now are out of business. Because like I owe something from my lease and the bank called and the lady on the phone was like, yeah. She goes, well, I just need to verify your information. I said to her like that. Yeah, right.

Dude, I said, I don't know you. I was like, I don't know you like that. I said, I'm not giving anybody any information over the phone. And she goes, yeah, I understand that. You know? So I'm like, bye. You know what I mean? Like bill collectors, that business is done.

Like somebody can't call you right now and be like, hey, you know, you owe this on your account. And then like, okay, so verify the- Cool. I'm going to send you a fax. Is that dog? It's a picture that dog. But the thing is, it's like they have to verify who you are. And if they can't, it's like, sorry. Like, I don't even, I don't trust emails.

Like, you get emails. How about this? I don't click on a link. Yeah, man. How many times you get a, I don't go on X, but. But you get emails, someone's trying to hack in your thing. You look at the address. It's like info hamburger.com.

You're like, oh, this is not X. And the sucky part is they're also stealing the code from the actual website, putting it so it looks like, oh, this looks like Facebook. You're just kind of like any. I don't care. That whole thing is like, now it's like you can't trust anybody. I don't know you. I don't know you.

I remember that time, Brendan, the guy was like, I sent you that thing. It was like somebody sent me to think, you're going to be on Fightering the Kid and blah blah and I was like I know this person What you're talking about? Yeah I think they stopped doing it with us

They stopped doing with firing the kid And Big Brown Breakdown Then they started doing it for Rogan deals with it still to this day It kind of died out Because it's you know Amy Poller kind of died out But I know Rogan still us to deal with it

Yeah I was asked to be on your podcast It's really fucking hilarious I'm like he doesn't even have guests You know but it's like they're there It's all fake I just don't know what I don't know how anybody can still get, I know how they can get fooled because the things look real.

You know, it looks legit. So now you go, that makes it, that makes it where even legit emails, you have to like, you're leery of anything now. So it's like, I don't even know if emails even, like what do you even do with emails? I mean, if, if,

even if my finance guy emails me, I text them, yo, you sent this, right? Oh, God, that sucks. It didn't even be like that. Well, I mean, it's probably overboard, but. I know better be like that Yeah

Better to be that than something Yeah but can you imagine But can you imagine you're looking at the computer And then like you know It's a Bank of American website opens up And what like how long did it take him to be like How did he get out of it though? What do you do just close the laptop

You turn up to the internet They close to then have access Then he just froze his bank accounts So nobody could get access That's crazy Crazy I follow an account where the guy He reversed hacks down

hackers. Oh yeah, yeah. I love that shit. These Indian people get mad. They're just furious over there. Fuck you. You know. Yeah. Get off my computer.

Because he like hacks into their like, you know, webcams and all this stuff. Dude, I had someone hustle me. They had a legit site. They had people DME recommend their products for a truck part like a custom steering wheel, Alcantara steering wheel. So I place the order and they do take like eight weeks. 10 weeks go by.

10 weeks. And I'm like, I email me. DM yo man just checking in would love an update usually people give me updates when you're working on something like this let me know he goes all done man sends me the FedEx tracking like oh cool click on the FedEx tracking

it says uh ready for pickup like all right whatever another two weeks go by I'm trying to look at the tracking and it says it's the shipments in Indiana you can just tell it's like bullshit you tell it's bullshit where that what they're doing is they're probably just putting an empty package into FedEx so it looks like it

and it just travels around buying them time. Wow, this shit's like Fars Gump. Wow. They're fucking just running. The package is just headed different places. That's like, but it just gives you like a little bit of like Yeah, it sucks. It's so dumb. And I even email, I'm like, man, this is so dumb

because A, I use my Amex for this exact reason. I just establishes fraud. They pay me back. And now I'm just going to blast your shit out there make sure nobody else buys it dude you do kind of have a track record for buying nonsense yeah the bicycle whatever you bought a cat

Speaking of buying stuff, you're not supposed to buy. Oh, my God, dude. So Rachel, Brendan, is on this, like, a state website, you know, auction website. Like, looking at houses? No, no, no, it's like estate auctions, like where they, like, like people's things and maybe they, they died and no one's collected. Oh, like you can buy Dolly Parton's tits or something since she passed away? So she thought, she found herself buying a couch, okay? This is a little couch.

I won the auction and she goes to pick up. excited. Oh, she was super excited. And I said to her, you know, and she goes, well, it's too late. It's not unfundable. You know, that's the couch, Brendan. Okay, you see it? Looks fine. You see it?

Thinner, also. Thinner, I've never looked at it like this. No. Misery. All of them. Oh, my God. This guy. You know, if Stephen King

writes a book, they don't make a movie of it, you know that book is bad. Oh, he wrote Insomnia? Oh, the movie with Al Pacino? Yeah. Is it the same, based on that? I think. Or it might be something else, though.

That's a common. Yeah. It's like a word that anybody could use. Right. I mean, don't be a hater, but yeah. If you go, how many books are you? Is it the movie with... I don't think it is.

That's what I'm saying. Well, they said screenplays right there. Go back, go back down. It says screenplay. Yeah, but that shit could be like with fucking Jeff Fahey in the 90s, you know. Green Mile. Wow. He wrote Green Mile?

Real prolific. Wow, the dark tower. Okay. I read the book Green Mile before seeing the movie. Oh, wow. You know, I didn't like that movie when I saw it. Everyone loved it. I know exactly what you mean.

Yeah. It's like just, you know, some big magic black dude in jail. Right. Just like take away your dick cancer. That was weird. Heangaliers. Oh, no, I know. Yeah, I don't know.

Hey, how do you write a book nowadays? Do you, you don't have to get it published, right? I mean, you can just kind of like put it out, can't you? Yeah, yeah, I guess you could. I mean, I just think about that the other day because like, if you write a book, if I wrote a book, or if you wrote a book, you got fans. You know, you could put it out if fucking Schumeister and Ahamish or whatever the fuck they're called, you know, doesn't want to buy it. Just go, all right, my book's out. Right.

And you can make money off it by. You do your own audio book. Right, right, right, yeah. It's basically just a big-ass podcast, really, if you're doing the audiobook. I guess. Like, you can make the congratulations book. Right, right, right, right. It's like, it's just a long episode of congratulations.

Yeah, but no, but you write a story rather than fucking just bullshit on your thing about, you know. I know, but if you write, well, oh, yeah, that too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you have a story, you want to write. Yeah, why not? I just wonder, so what do they say? There's just self-publishing.

There's all kinds of things. Oh. I mean, just like how you can put fake songs on Spotify. Yeah, right. That's pretty crazy, yeah. I guess you can put, you know, books on, you know. Uh-huh. At this point, you just have your own website,

and you just do the thing. I don't know. What is all these fucking websites that are coming up? It's where it's getting out. Oh, it's thinking. Is it thinking? Yeah, I had it think too hard. Oh, yeah, he's fucking thinking so hard.

Good. I don't know. We don't really care that much. I've been getting charged up my ass from Claude because I keep using Fable. Oh, yeah, you can't. And I have like a hundred charges of $10. Not a hundred, but.

What? Fable costs extra or something? Yeah. But then I don't trust the other one. So it's like not as good, the answer. Really? What? you're so right like like chat gpt is trash yeah you want kind of you want the answer you want

kind of the answer yeah this one yeah yeah yeah yeah because i got the kind of answer right here locked and loaded yeah that's another one yeah don't use fable you should just use opus for some things retailer direct i said free to upload print demand uh inventory yeah just like making t-shirts this is crazy the amazon thing's crazy yeah wide distribution what is that ingram spark drafted digital is the only way to route to actual bookstores okay and library system. Direct to reader, the fastest growing model

and the one that actually pays. Written word media, 30% over. Crowdfunding. All right, yeah. What was that? What's crowdfunding? Crowdfunding, man.

No, I know what it is, but like, but you would do the same thing. Like, hey, help me produce my book or whatever. Oh. Oh, the Martian was self-published. Books that did,

oh, yeah, huh. Wow. So how did he do it? Hold on. Andy Weir serialized free on his site. Oh, wow. And now he's, Now he's a multimillionaire because of that movie.

Reader asked for it to hit. Wait, okay. And put it on his Kindle for a buck, 99 cents. When readers asked for it, hit number one in Amazon sci-fi within three minds. Huh. All right. So, so serialized free.

What does that mean? Imagine, though, the idiot editor person that turned this guy down. I mean, whatever. It's all, it's going to happen, you know. But, yeah. Milk and Honey, I've heard of that. Oh, yeah, that's the... All right, okay.

So, so look at this one. The Shack, William P. Young, over 20 million copies after self-publishing in 2007 followed repeat, repeated... I don't know. I'm going to write a book now. But what I'm saying is like, how does it get like... Hugh Howie, here's another word, wool. $1 short story in 2011, expand on demand.

500,000 copies by two. Ooh, this new season of silo got good, by the way. So, hold on, though. Before we get into that. So Hugh Howie, 99-cent short story. in 2011 expanded on reader demand a half a million copies by 2000 so I wonder if he then signed a print only with somebody in Schuster and kept his digital rights

which was unprecedented at the time okay over three million copies an estimator $10 million plus Apple TV made it oh that silo yeah wow yeah wow yeah I feel like if you wow wow wow because Louis had a book, right? What's that book that came out recently? Ingram or something? Yeah, Ingram. Right. That did well. I feel like...

Well, if you're someone like that and you already have fans. Of course. Of course, him. Yes. Yes. But he was one of the first people to like sell his special online. Right. Like he was all, he was on top of this from Jump. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's all about new IP. Right. In like 2016, it was all podcasts that we're starting.

that were like being created for IP. Like that one guy you got an argument with online. Who's that? Like lore or something. He was like a, oh yeah. What was that stupid shit? I don't know. You guys got an argument.

I forgot about that. Did I talk about that in congratulations or something? I don't know, maybe. Talk about everything. Was that secretly Nick? What do you not talk about on congratulations? Is that secretly Nick? do you say on congratulations do you ever go you're not talking about this on the golden hour but

well uh well no and the reason is because i i i i do congratulations first in the week so i talk about it and then i go to golden hour the next day so it's like not like new shit happens got it well like there are things like tupac's uh guy got guilty oh yeah that i haven't talked about yeah yeah yeah i sent that i know That's so strange. Like, has this guy, so this guy's just been like for 30 years. He's just been doing his thing. And then now he finally got like, how did they catch him?

Like, I don't understand. He apparently admitted to it in a documentary and a book. What? But now he's saying they were just stories and he was trying to like build lore as a gangster. But yeah, whoopsie, Daisy. Whoopsie, whoopsie. Yeah, you weren't being interrogated for fucking 25 hours. And we're like, all right, I did it.

Let me out. You know, then it's like, okay, false confession. but dude the dude was just on a documentary like kill Tupac yeah yeah that's crazy god really yeah so he now faces the possibility of life in prison what are they gonna do we found Tupont's killer before Gt86 what are they gonna do after GTA 6 comes out they this is the comment you see yeah under every news thing what are they gonna do they're not gonna have the new new one did you see the the GTA 6 stuff it's amazing it looks amazing I know, but it's like, it's probably so amazing that they're also seeing so many flaws because it's so amazing.

I mean, look at this shit. You know what I mean? I don't know. They have exclusive Netflix stuff too, and it's like, uh, like, yeah, this looks incredible. But they have to make sure every single door, every single window, every single thing in this game. Pretty weird. That's where we shoot our podcast right there, by the way. Yeah.

Right there. They drove by it. Oh, that little tree. and uh look at this and have you seen the strip club footage I think it's like the booties look real like you know this is gonna be

yeah well you know I love cartoon porn so I was wondering who fucking clicks on the family guy porn or the Simpsons porn this looks funny like oh oh god what the fuck oh by the way I must have clicked on something

my algorithm is people getting shot and fucking stab now oh that sucks there was a New York lady that I saw that yeah Yeah, I didn't watch it, but... So weird. So weird.

They just fucking... I just like algorithms, man. I just... I don't like them. Did you see the... It was like a governor or something? The guy trying to run for governor? Oh, is this it?

This is like all the different side games you can play. Wow. Oh, wow. Jesus Christ. Look at that. What if it just showed a picture, like, video of you doing stand up? You're like, wait, that's me. Oh, man.

Jump was kind of janky to be on. honest. It's getting ahead? Oh, virtual, that's funny. Are we all getting this? We should stream this. We should all be in a gang. All right. Well, he kind of looks. Oh, you, what do you guys have? What, I have PS.

Is it cross platform? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah. It is? Yes, it definitely is. Wow. Look at that car. Well, this is, this is almost a, I could play someone who, yeah. This is almost like the first. That's where we get coffee. The first one is almost all, already a 50. year game. You know what I mean?

This is crazy. It's pretty crazy, bro. I mean, look at the lighting. Well, I mean, they've incorporated the AI and they've like, you know, this is going to be like just an incredible, I mean, the future of this has to be virtual glasses, you know what I mean? Is it L.A.?

Where is it? Do you even know? Miami. Dude, Tim Dillon said, in Florida, I think in general. Tim Dillon said the funniest thing on his podcast about the Lindsey Clancy. Or what?

He was saying that the women that are coming there in pink shirts. He said it was like, it's like if you went to the OJ trial with your girlfriend and she has a black eye, dude, I was like, no, because these women are showing up to the trial with their kids, you know, they're outside with their kids. Oh my God, dude. This is so funny. Applauding and they're all just happy to be there.

Let's, uh, let's hear, take it away. Hundreds of women all dressed in pink cheered the accused mom as she arrives in a police. caravan for her murder trial. Yes. Supporters ran across the field to greet Lindsay. Thank God. Came with their babies. Yes.

They held up... Stop it because I just want to highlight how beautiful this is. These women show up to support her with their children. That's pretty beautiful. It's like going to support O.J. And taking your girlfriend with a black eyes. And I'm going to be honest, everyone keeps talking about the three dead friends. And to me, it's a little bit of a downer.

There's something really nice about a bunch of women's... saying just because you killed your children, you're still a mother. Let's watch a little bit more of this. Hey, guys. What do you think of the support for Lindsay Clancy? I have no words. Yeah. It's amazing.

We find our heroes in unlikely places to throw off the shackles of domestication in the way that she did and kind of challenge the patriarchy, the symbolism, kind of a feminist hero. His contempt is just outstanding. Incredible. Yeah. No, he's funny. It is crazy.

All those women think she didn't do it or that it's not her fault that she did it? Right, right. No, no, no. They cannot deny that they're not saying she didn't do it. They're just trying to say like, you know, there's no accountability. Like there's zero accountability for women. Yeah. Really?

Zero accountability. They're just like... Sometimes I can't believe it. Yeah. I can't. Well, this is one of those times. Yeah, this is like when I... I'm trying to understand...

I'm trying to have empathy. They say, yeah, the husband's fault. Yeah, okay. Put him in jail too. I don't give a fuck. The parents of these kids, this happened? I don't care. Put her in jail.

Put him in jail. Put the cousins in jail. Yeah. Yeah. What were you doing? Yeah. You were around that house? Yeah, yeah. If I was around that house, I saw some shit go down and be like,

Guys. Yeah, this is crazy. I just don't get, part of me is like if there was no internet would these people this kind of thing would still be on the news.

Be doing that. I just added the stand in New York, guys. I'll be there on the first because on the second the New York Film Festival Behemoth premiere. Oh, cool.
