Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Okay, then point John.
John Feitelberg
Well, hold the phone there.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It is. The penultimate episode.
John Feitelberg
Yes. Okay.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And everybody knows that.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Because the penultimate episode is penultimate became this phrase that people use. Like, I don't think the world ever said that until like 2010.
John Feitelberg
Whatever, whatever. Breaking Bad.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Right, right. Second to last episode of Breaking Bad was the best episode of television maybe ever, and certainly the best in the series. And then it kind of became vernacular. Everyone started using penultimate, penultimate this, penultimate that. But it's usually in reference to the final. The episode before the final episode of a series. And for whatever reason that it usually is like, it's sort of like the battle happens on the second to last episode and then the final episode is like the wrap up. You know what I mean? So it's always like people kind of. You know what, speaking of fighting, I got a lot of people talking about the Action Bronson clip.
Jackie
And I'd watch it like 7 times to edit it. And it made me. It just made me so uncomfortable.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So I'll pose this question to you. If actually went down, what do you think happens between John and Action bronson? Then that 2000, whatever that was, I.
Jackie
Was gonna say, I feel like it's different, I think, now. Now you, you, you know, I think.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Jon runs his now.
John Feitelberg
First of all, you hear that action? We got a lot of. I'm fighting. It's like when a girl.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
A girl picks a fight in the bar with a guy. You got to deal with this. But. But the reason I bring it up is a lot of people were like, good thing you had John there. Like, he would have him up. And I was thinking, like, I don't know about that. Like, like, action. Bronson, I mean, is still a big guy, but he was huge back then. You were always, like, in shape and, like, lifting your whole life. But I feel like you, in the last decade, you've gotten a lot bigger.
John Feitelberg
Much bigger.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Right? Were you. Were you, like, you were always working out, But I feel like you have become a monster in, like, the last five years, let's say. Is that true or not?
John Feitelberg
I've always been like, bro, I'm definitely bigger than I am.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, you look, like, big.
John Feitelberg
I'm pretty sure stronger than ever. But, like, I was always, like, broader, kind of.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Okay, yeah, yeah. The Final Burn jeans. You got that, like, big stock.
John Feitelberg
But so I was thinking generations, a large family.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yes. Yes.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I, I, I think back then, it would have been a problem, but now I would be. I would be. I mean, listen, actually, Bronze is a big dude, and he doesn't take any. Like, he, he could. He would. He would be a problem.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, but actually, Bronze is Albanian, right?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yes. The elbows bet on action Bronson. The elbows do not around, man. That was actually part of the reason why I was so like, oh, I'm sorry, dude. This Albanian rapper slash wrestler is going to rip my head off. But I think now. But I, I think it's. First of all, it's just awesome for you that I, I got a lot of messages being like, yeah, John. John would have handled shit. It's like, that's a great reputation to have, dude.
John Feitelberg
Actually, Bronson, you ever want to do this podcast again, we will not mention Ghostface.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Wouldn't that be awesome?
John Feitelberg
The whole time there, I was just like, I was like, I, I was. I. I think you said I was doing a lot of giggling. I'm always trying to laugh your way through it. Bring it back to same. Like, I'm trying the jokes. The point of no return. Once we go to the point of no return, I'm down to be there, but I don't want to be there.
Jackie
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Until we have to be there. Yeah. So that was Kind of my plan the whole time. And.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And I guess it's so funny knowing that you didn't. You don't know the names. You don't know the circumstances. Like. Like, it's awkward enough if I put us in hot water, but for you to be like, I don't even know.
John Feitelberg
What we're talking about. I remember. I remember before that interview, and I'm sure I was less, like, bubbly than I am right now, like. But I remember in you before the interview being like, I think I might bring up Ghostface. And I was like, mid sip water. Like, huh, that'd be fun.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Sounds good. What could go wrong?
John Feitelberg
I don't think there'll be any problems.
Jackie
You're doing a lot of giggling. You're doing a lot of sipping of water.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Yeah. My two awkward moves, which are the only two things I do in this world. It shows you how awkward. I giggle and drink water at all times.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
The Mount Rushmore of John doing things, drinking water, giggling, eating chocolate. Eating chocolate in bed and lifting.
John Feitelberg
That's what John does, man.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That's what John Heidelberg is.
Jackie
The.
John Feitelberg
You saying that's what he does is good segue. I said on the show with Dan the other day, I was like, I hope people didn't take this as, like. As being offensive to Dan, but I was like. I was like, when you left, I didn't think it was a big deal. Like, I didn't. My idea. We were not podcasters. I didn't think we were successful.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Sometimes we do videos and as we write, sometimes we record.
John Feitelberg
I mean, six months ago, before that, David told me, don't move to New York. So, like, I didn't think KFC radio.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Was a job, right?
John Feitelberg
Like, it wasn't a thing to me. It was like, okay, he's gonna go do the other thing. That's not our job.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
We'll do the other thing.
John Feitelberg
Cool. He didn't really. So, like, I meant to ask, when do you consider pot? When do you think podcasting became your job? Like, at that time, I was still a blogger in my head.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I. I think I was already there at that point because I really. Yeah, because I do remember being like. Because we went through a period where he was still on the show, but he was canceling, like, twice a week. It was like, I got to do part of my take or, like, I'll be there, but then I can't be there. And I remember being like that. We. We gotta. You either gotta do it or not do it. So if I was thinking, like, that. That means I was taking it seriously at that point. I mean, I guess I can't say I was still blogging. So, like, I think I would have said I'm a blogger and I do a podcast.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But at that point I was taking it seriously enough that it was like, cuz. Cuz part of the reason why. And I think this was a little bit of like, PR in a sense, because I think, I think, I think it. It was very clear part of my take is going to be a thing. PFT is coming. Like, that's what he wanted to do. And I think there was like an awkward breakup period. And I remember Erica saying, well, what's going to happen when you guys are both on tour and you have, like, dates at the same time? Like, he's got.
John Feitelberg
You guys had a lot of conversations I didn't have. So I was like, what the fuck are you guys talking about?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Well, that was a little. I remember being like. Because I obviously didn't want it to happen. I would have kept doing it with Dan forever. But. And. And they. They pitched this. This thing of like, well, if you guys are doing live shows, we're doing live shows, and it's at the same time, what's Dan going to do? And I remember being like, I don't. I don't think we've ever done a lot. Like, I think we had maybe done the Wilbur. I don't even know. Like, it's like, I don't think there's going to be a thing, but okay. I guess so. You know, but yeah, that maybe. Maybe those were conversations I was having and you weren't.
Jackie
They're like giggles and zips, water in the corner.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But you know what, that actually kind of makes sense, though, because I feel like KFC radio, like, I started it and then added you and they added Dan. And so it was never like. I feel like it was. There's probably some awkwardness of like, is it our show? You know what I mean? Yeah. It wasn't like, hey, three of us are starting this show. And I started. I put my name on it and we added people. So I think there was like some weirdness there. I would imagine. I would bet that you started feeling more seriously about it, like, then. Because I remember being like, now it's us that. I don't know if we had a conversation. But in my head I was sort of like. And here's. Here's. I do. I do remember one awkward bit when we. When I wrote a blog talking about Dan leaving and like, the future of KFC radio. I said, I actually think that when. Because there was episodes where Dan was out.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I was like, I think when me and John are solo, I remember this being controversial. Yeah. I was like, I think me and John actually do. I think I might have said better. I also was. I told Dan. I was like, let me back up. So I said something to the effect of me and John do really good podcasting. And I might have even said, do better when Dan's not there. And I. I actually did mean that because I thought that was also the. This iteration. Me and you was, I think, when we started to, like, talk.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And have conversations and talk about life and stuff. Prior to that, it was voicemails and silliness and all that.
John Feitelberg
And, like, voicemails were. I remember seeing one of the overlays, and it was like, like, 30 voicemails.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
We used to do all voices.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It would be, like, a quick intro, and then we go. And so we never. Yeah. And we would talk about our lives, but because of the voicemails. But it was never like, tell me about what's going on in your life, you know, and, like, talk about problems. And.
John Feitelberg
And that was also because, like, social media wasn't a thing. So, like, we didn't really like Dave. We knew about the first lady.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. I guess.
John Feitelberg
Like, we knew about people's lives, but it wasn't. Not on a daily basis.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yes.
John Feitelberg
We knew generally about your life, but.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Not like, like, reality almost.
John Feitelberg
It wasn't reality tv. Like, it was like, it is now.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. And I just remember, you know, Dan was so funny and bombastic, and we had crazy conversations, and then when he was off for an episode, I was like, oh, me and John, like, talked about life today, you know.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And. And I. I think that was more just different than better. But I also. And I remember Dan reaching out, kind of being like, yeah, that was a little. Like, that was a little weird. Like, I was. I was taken aback that you said that it was better without me. And I was like, well, like, I do believe there's some truth to, like, the different styles of podcasting. And also, I'm trying to hype this up, keep this thing alive while we're losing, like, a superst star. So I didn't want to be like, yeah, this show's gonna be worse without it. Come watch on Tuesday, you know, so it was a little.
John Feitelberg
But I also completely. I, I, I think it's just a very different show.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Totally.
John Feitelberg
And it was.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And, And. And it Was more.
John Feitelberg
It was more intimate because obviously, Dan, you can make. You make decisions with. With pod. Not podcasting, but podcasting and content in general. Like, you're gonna be overly sharing. You're gonna be.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You kept it private.
John Feitelberg
Dan Choos a private. Whereas we were a little more open. And then that allowed us that lane to be a little more open.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Exactly.
John Feitelberg
With our private lives.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Exactly. That.
John Feitelberg
That was such a political answer. That was like, I don't want to say anything wrong about anyone. So I'm a vague description. Yeah. No one did anything wrong. It's just vaguely describing what happened.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And also, I mean, my life, I. Me and Dan did. We probably were kind of destined to eventually have to break up because it was like, I have my government name, my face, my pictures, my life, like out there. And if you don't, that's just always going to be like, okay, wait, I can't talk about that.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You know what I mean?
Jackie
So I actually remember as a listener, like, I. I told you guys I would, like, put it on, especially when I was feeling anxious. Like, it would just, like, calm me down. And it was. I remember thinking it was because it wasn't just surface level. It was like, because you guys went deep into your, like, own lore that it was like, it really, like, took me out of my life and like, into yours. So political answer. But, like, I do actually think that there's something to like, you guys being able to.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I. I don't remember ever feeling like, oh, my God, we got to do like another hypothetical, another voicemail. I. I always had fun doing it. Still do. But I do think that, like, had we not done this, I think eventually I would have been like, all right, I can't. That episode, though, like, it was wild how much we slid right back into it. I. I was not like, nervous by any means, but I was sort of like, I don't know how this is going to go. I haven't really done content with Dan outside of like a dozen appearance. And then like, I've seen him here and there, but I was like, I have no idea how this is gonna go.
John Feitelberg
Dude. That's kind of a fun thing. Right back into it at barstool is like having the chance to do content with people sometimes.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, this is just a sociological experiment.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Like, I don't know how this is.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
In what other world would, like a mother of two get up together with this, like, frat boy get together with his dad and this whole, like, it is just throw him in a room and like, see what Happens.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, but that was, that was as. Immediately, it was weird, in fact. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I was like, okay, this is right back into it. Even like, well, first of all, I really gotta thank specifically all the, the voicemails of that day. I think there was four of them. Like, Wally Mario was like a good, like, just like, you know, he's like a all star day one listener type thing. But then the, the Jim Snow idea.
Jackie
Something. I've had that exact, exact idea before.
John Feitelberg
On this podcast.
Jackie
No, not, not on this.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Well, then you gotta say it first.
Jackie
I've said this to my whole family because I was shoveling snow two years ago, and I was like, they should. This is a great workout. Then I said, I, there should be a gym where.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That would have been a great Jackie idea.
Jackie
Like, it'll be. No, it is a Jackie.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Too bad. No, it's that guy's idea. Voicemail guy's idea. But that one and the, and talked about how you pee. It was just like, did you guys pick that, like, on purpose? Were you like, oh, this is a ridiculously stupid question about how guys pee. Let's do it? Yeah.
Jackie
Yeah, there was.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Because that was like, I, I, I, I couldn't have scripted that. That was crazy. It was like a script crazy.
John Feitelberg
It was just like, it was the fact that it came from a man of science. It's like everyone's thinking.
Jackie
I, why there were only three, but that ended up being the fourth that you said the fourth. Oh, so then I did actually kind of like, I went through a few, and then I figured that one would be the best, so I did do that.
John Feitelberg
Oh, okay.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So Jackie gets credit. It's produced the hit. But I was like, I mean, that, that, do you pee through the fly or over your waistband is like the bricks of the foundation upon this which the show was built.
Jackie
I didn't realize it when, like, when you're, you know, number two that you like at the same time. I learned that yesterday.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I feel like I've learned in recent years that girls don't do that. That it's like one or the other is that.
Jackie
I mean, I don't.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
More so at least the only times I've ever heard people say that is girls.
John Feitelberg
That makes Una's whole nightmare of a situation a little more understandable, I guess.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think it's almost the opposite, because to me, it feels like, to me, it feels like one of those planes that are dropping water on a fire. You know what I'm talking about?
John Feitelberg
For a girl, I feel like it.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Just goes and the whole region just opens up.
John Feitelberg
We have a tube.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You know, if anything, I feel like it would be the opposite.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, we're like the salmon getting changed right through the tube. Yeah, we got a pretty accurate system here. They're just like pump and dump.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You know what is so funny? I mean, like, I. I'm sure we take this for granted, but, like, I think we just have one Internet brain. The fact that you can be like, we're like the salmon. And I'm like, yeah, yeah. The man made lakes where you put the salmon in the tube and it repopulates it. That's all you had to say was the word salmon. And I'm like, got you. Got it, dude.
John Feitelberg
Speaking of, by the way, one Internet brain, Pluribus rocks. Love Pluribus.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You would. You would. Dude, I think I'm at a point where I just have to understand who John has become as an actor and a creator, and we're never going to be alive. Pluribus is ungodly slow. Like, it's. It's slow to a ridiculous extent, for sure. Like, that whole episode could have been 10 minutes of, like, mont.
John Feitelberg
Like, it could have been. But, dude, when she decides to die.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, that's right.
John Feitelberg
Like, and that doesn't happen if everything's cut down into five minutes, into two minutes. That seems insane, huh?
Jackie
I'm behind so.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Well, there's only, like, one thing that happens to really spoil you, but it's. It's not bad. Like, everything you're saying is true. I constantly, throughout the show, I'm like, that's a great shot. That's. I get what's going on. I, you know, understand it all. It's. It's very slow.
John Feitelberg
It's slow.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It's insanely slow.
John Feitelberg
But it's also, like, you, like, recognize what you're saying. Like, everything. Like, I'm like, that's great. That's great, that's great, that's great. A lot of great things together makes.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
A great thing from, like, a technical point of view, I think from like a plot and development and just like, entertainment point of view. We gotta get moving.
Jackie
But I think it's slow but intentional. Like.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, it's all intentional. No, no doubt. Like, no doubt.
Jackie
I mean, like, every scene, like, I'm. I'm trying to figure out the clues within it, and that captures my attention, even though the storyline. Do you know what I mean? Like, I feel like other slow shows don't have that many.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, there are. There are shows that try to do a slow burn and they just stink because they don't do it well. You know, and that's not this. But there is just some point of like, like, Rhea Seehorn is a unbelievable actress and she carries that mostly by herself, like, for huge chunks of time. And I can appreciate that and like that and understand that. But also, when you do a show like this, just like the regular type of like conflicts and character developments and all that kind of stuff just don't happen when it's just like you're watching one woman, like, do her daily routine.
John Feitelberg
You know, she's not doing her daily routine. She's falling apart.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, yeah. But, you know, I get what you're.
Jackie
Saying, but like building herself at the same time, but.
John Feitelberg
Well, you haven't seen. You're caught up. Okay, but she. Falling apart.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Some fireworks. It gets crazy.
John Feitelberg
But even before the fireworks, like, she's going out.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
You know what I mean? She's packing a fucking golf bag and a shotgun going into the woods. Like, she's living life where there's fucking no one else on this planet. No one who will talk to her. No one who will, like, level with her. She's like Walt Whitman going into the.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Woods, hitting the golf balls at the, at the windows.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Just breaking windows. She's.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Why not?
John Feitelberg
She's falling apart and then eventually decides to die. It's a great episode.
Jackie
Well, I saw where the, where the, the firework tilts and then she.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When she just. That. That's what I'm talking about.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
When she.
John Feitelberg
The firework tilts at her and she kind of.
Jackie
It doesn't hit her.
John Feitelberg
It doesn't. But she decides to die.
Jackie
Yo.
John Feitelberg
She decides to not fix that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
Jackie
Okay, so then I'm not actually that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Feitelberg
She decides to not save her own life.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What. What are you guys doing on a Plurbus type day? Like, only person in the world.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Great question.
Jackie
Thank you so much.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Probably what I do now, I, like.
John Feitelberg
Honestly, I would probably do like.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I don't know, I think I would. I think maybe I'm just saying this because she did it. I think I would go hit golf balls with an aluminum baseball bat into the street. I used to do that when I was a kid. And looking back on it, it was like the most dangerous, reckless thing an 8 year old could do. 10 year old, 12 year old, whatever. I was like, there was. There was just golf balls raining down like a thousand yards away from where I hit it. Like, I don't know. Could have hit a puppy. Could have hit a kid, could have hit a car. I don't know.
John Feitelberg
But I think.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But now I'd be like, yeah, I don't have to worry about that.
John Feitelberg
The fun of. But I could hit these. You take three cuts and you go, it's not as fun if I can't maybe hit a baby. Yeah. You'd be like, no, this doesn't have.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Same vibe to it. We used to spray tennis balls with aerosol cans and light them on fire and throw them at cars. Maybe I do that again.
Jackie
That's crazy. That, like, all guys have that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. We should throw rocks at buses. Really?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
I don't know why you guys have that, like, destructive nature.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But yeah, like, I went through it and then I was done and I was like, wow, that is like the shittiest thing in the world.
Jackie
It cracks me up.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I remember egging a house one year and we got caught and it was like, I felt awful about myself really. Like, to this day, I still, like, regret doing it. I was like, what was I doing?
John Feitelberg
I only have like, one of those regrets. And I. I've talked about it a million times when I call the teacher fat.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. Oh, that stuff.
John Feitelberg
I don't know why I did it.
Jackie
Can you explain it again?
John Feitelberg
It was someone. This guy's definitely dead by now. He was obese. I've been really bad about calling this.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Guy fat, but he's so fat. He's dead.
John Feitelberg
30 years ago. He was like 60 years old. He was humongous. He's probably not gonna be a 90.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Year old obese person. He's got to be in the dirt.
John Feitelberg
Like 2003. I was huge. The. But someone asked how to spell his name in class. They're like, hey, Mr. Blake, how do you spell your name? And I went F, A T. That's not even good. It's not good. It's like, not my kind of humor. I have no idea why I did that. And it. And the whole class erupted. And he looked at me, like, kind of sad, and I was like, why the did I do that? What the was that?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Did you like, apologize to him?
John Feitelberg
Of course I apologize, like, immediately. Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Like, I don't know why I did that.
Jackie
Again.
John Feitelberg
Freshman high school. Oh, I don't know why I did that. Pisses me off.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You know what? That guy's probably dead. He probably killed himself. Probably was like, I'm so fat, my students don't respect me. They put up. Put up a firework and Blasted.
John Feitelberg
I don't know why. I've like, literally had never done anything like that in my life to that point. Never anything after. I don't know why I did that.
Jackie
The other day I was talking to somebody.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Intrusive thoughts, sometimes they win.
Jackie
And they were like saying, like, they were kind of like debating quitting their job and like, doing this, like, kind of niche art thing or whatever that, like, whatever. And I don't know what overtook me, but I was just like. They were like, they were like, I don't know, like, what I should do. And then I was just like, you know what you should do. I was like, I did not say that. She goes, you're right, I'm gonna quit my job. And then she quit her job. And I was like. And I literally was like sitting there being like that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I don't know. What was that what you meant by the way, though? Because that could go both ways.
Jackie
No, I just, I don't even remember, like, what I meant by it. I mean, like, it's like, I obviously, I think it was just filler, but like, the fact that she quit her job because of me, I was like.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I even know that. Great. You should. You people should use that more often when someone's venting to you. Just say, you know what you should do.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And don't push them one way or the other. They will do it.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Did you actually think she should quit a job or keep her job?
Jackie
I literally, like, was tuning out of the conversation, like, because I was just trying. It was like filler. I was not. I was like focused on what I was going to make for dinner.
John Feitelberg
That's kind of the best way to give advice because you don't have any good advice. Like a person who's in a situation you've never been in, like, you just, just compassionately, confidently, you know what you should do.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You know what? That's so true. I do know what you really need to hear in those moments. Especially like, if it's someone who really knows the details of your life and can maybe give you like an actual assessment, fine. But otherwise, the advice you should give is, should be much more like, you are a very capable and smart person who, like, you should trust your gut because, you know, you know what I mean? Like, the advice needs to be about. About the decision, not the decision.
John Feitelberg
There's. You're trying to give me like a 30 second update on this. There's 10 million factors that go on your whole life. You know what to do, right?
Jackie
Yeah. Yeah. I feel like Everyone also knows deep down it's like when you put a coin and then you like land on heads and you're like, well, I actually.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Kind of actually go tails.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Feitelberg
Exactly. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You know what to do, right? You know what a Pluribus day, though, for me, I mean, I guess the whole thing is like.
Jackie
I think I might like that painting looked really. If I was just like to paint a whole driveway kind of like with that white, like, it would be aesthetically pleasing to kind of just do that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Now though, you know?
Jackie
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
I like to think a Pluribus day for me would look like Reyes Seahorns.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
By the way, if you don't know what we're talking about. Pluribus is a show where the world has kind of been taken over by this, like, alien virus where Everybody except for 11 people have now become these like, hive mind. Basically robots. So they just live to like, serve and there's no repercussions for behavior or anything like that. So it's like you could just do whatever you want.
John Feitelberg
I like to think I would do nothing. I don't know.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I keep thinking like, I wouldn't like.
John Feitelberg
Being around that is like all.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And streaming still running and stuff like that. I guess it would be. Right. Like, would you have like regular life where it's like, no, you wouldn't be able to watch sports and stuff, but could you just put on a show and watch it?
Jackie
You really ask them to like fake put on sports.
John Feitelberg
But I wouldn't. I wouldn't do that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
There.
John Feitelberg
There's something I think we talk about on this show. Like, I really don't like them.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
What are they called? The Joined or the Others or whatever.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You mentioned that in your text. I hadn't noticed that they call them the Joint.
John Feitelberg
Maybe it's the Others. They call them something.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Or at least people writing about the show do. I don't know if it's in the show.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Got it.
John Feitelberg
But like, I think it's joined. But they like. I don't like them on screen. I don't like them. Yeah, like, as characters, I think.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think it's a very interesting show in that, like, we know that John is pretty like AI and technology averse. And that's the way he watches the show. When I watch it, I'm like, I would 1000% be the James Bond guy before I was Rio Seahorn. Rhea is miserable. I hate Rhea Seehorn. I think she's such a prick in this show. I kind of agree to fucking asshole to these people. You're so dramatic. You're like, like. And then if it was between being like that or being like the other guy who's like, this is not a great situation. But, like, I don't know, I'm going to make the best of it. I don't know about the sex stuff gets weird because it's like, technically, you're fudgeing like your grandma.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That gets a little dicey. But if it's just like, let's play pretend, at least at the beginning, I would do that.
John Feitelberg
I do it the. I don't know. It's again, like, it's not even like an intellectual thing. Like, my gut, I get uncomfortable when they're on screen. I don't like them. They, they make me feel weird.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I, I, so, so in that case, you would be alone then, all the time.
John Feitelberg
I guess so. Because, like, I really like the show. What about when it's just Riaz?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
What about the girl? The one girl who, like, Ria, like, who hugs at the end.
John Feitelberg
Like, she, she's okay.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. Like, could you have, like, one friend?
John Feitelberg
I don't know. I, like, again, I'm just talking about, like, a viewer of the show. Like, I, I don't like the characters.
Jackie
I'm still.
John Feitelberg
But I did say, I don't know. For some reason, when they were talking to the guy in Spanish, they were making me laugh when they're like, come on, bud, don't go into the rainforest. I think you'd have to do this. Dude, I thought that was pretty good.
Jackie
Well, I'm still thinking about the part where she, like, looks back. She's getting on the private jet with other guy and then she looks back. Like, I feel like she has a little bit of consciousness and then, and then she almost breaks when, like, when Ria's like, tell me, tell me, tell me. She's in the wheelchair. Like, she's.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, I think that's. They're kind of like, hinting that you're still in there a little. Yeah, yeah. But, but I also, like, I guess, you know, spoiler alert if you haven't watched it, but them eating bodies, I think doesn't. Is not appalling to me.
John Feitelberg
It's not appalling. It's like their explanation makes sense.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. It's like they're, they're dead. It's not. They're killing people to eat them. That's a problem if you are using people who die naturally. I, I think that we should do that in the real world. I think if there was a way to get some. I don't want to eat people, but if there was a way to like benefit like in some other way rather than buying a ten thousand dollar box and burying them. Like, I think what we do right now with dead people is insane. The amount of money that people spend, the pomp and circumstance, I'm much more Frank Reynolds throwing me out in the trash.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So if there was a world where it was like, you know, don't ask, don't tell, you don't have to watch it, but we take the dead bodies and we like grind them up and we do, we like fertilize with them or some like that, I would be much more down with that than the current state of, of like death.
John Feitelberg
I guess you're right. I would agree.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I don't know about. I don't know if I would want to drink like dead body pee water the way they do it, but it makes sense.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. I don't know that again, it's like I. Seeing the room would be incredibly jarring. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And then I want to watch it.
John Feitelberg
But also like hearing the explanation, you'd be like, all right, that explanation makes sense. But I don't think I trust you. You know, if I trusted you, that explanation is fine. I don't know who the you are or what you are. So I don't.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Right. I mean, I think at some point that's going to be a part of the show is they stop being totally benevolent all the time. Like, they start to, you know, we're like, we need, we need to kill you to, to make you into water or whatever. You know what I mean?
John Feitelberg
Right.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But I like the, the Indian guy when he's like, yes, I know, it is very off putting.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, I don't like it either.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But you know, that would be me. I think I'd be like, I don't love this. I'd prefer it not to be happening. But if all this has to be happening, I'm going to enjoy it rather than freak the fuck out about it.
John Feitelberg
Agreed. But then there are also. How many times can you say, look, I don't love it? Yeah, like his. Now he said both episodes he's in. Yeah, like. And I agreed with him in episode two when he's like, look, I don't know, I don't think that I've heard this is the end of the world. It doesn't feel like it to me. I completely understood that and got that. And then when he's like, look, I don't Love this either, but it is what it is. And then by the third time, you're.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Saying it like, clearly, there's a problem.
John Feitelberg
You're probably in a problem. But the first time you're going, I'm not too. I don't love it, but it is what it is.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I also feel like what I would do is, can't she, like, talk to Helen?
Jackie
Basically?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Couldn't she be like, you're in there? Like, they know things about her. Right. That means they're kind of like, accessing Helen's memories or thoughts. So couldn't you be like, I want to talk to my dead mom, my dead boyfriend, my dead. You know, this, that, whatever.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Or not even dead, just like, I don't know, someone from across the world or whatever. It's like, I know you're in there. I. I think I would try to find ways to do that, you know?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
Yeah. That's what I thought, too, but. Because then I was also thinking, like, the sex thing isn't actually that weird, because they don't seem like they're like, a continued version of that. Like, it seems like it's mostly just their memories.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
Jackie
Stored.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think it'd just be weird. I'd be in for myself.
Jackie
For yourself.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
Jackie
Yeah. Or you can at least have somebody act like Helen.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Well, that's. I. I feel like what you need.
John Feitelberg
To do, but are we all, like, kind of a little kid, too?
Jackie
What?
John Feitelberg
You know what I mean. Like, I'm still little me, John Henry.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Right. When you're me, I still have thoughts. I did when I was, like, 8 years old. I'm still the kid throwing rocks at a bus.
Jackie
Yeah. It's kind of like. It's like if. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
I'm not every little kid on the planet, but I'm still. There's still parts of little kid me in here.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, yeah. But that's. You're not wrong, but it's like.
John Feitelberg
It's a tough argument to make. I don't know if it stands up.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, right, right.
Jackie
It's like high school argument, where it's like. It's like the nudes in high school argument.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That's exactly what it is. Right, right.
Jackie
I. So. But if you're Seahorn, like, whatever her name is, you're not really one to, like, save the world, though, because you don't really like to, like, you know him personally.
John Feitelberg
You talk about me personally right now.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, yeah. Like, would you take on the crusade she is to try to convert everyone back?
Jackie
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
No, no. No, no. I wouldn't even go so far. Like, once I heard there were 11, I'd be like, well, that's about it, right? If it was like, game.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
If it was like 50. 50 or something, but it's like, I'm pretty overwhelmed.
John Feitelberg
It's 8 billion on 11.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. We're probably. We're pretty screwed on this one. And they got all the scientists and all the. Everyone. We got a dancer and me. Yeah. Probably out. I'm gonna head to the woods and.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
What did they say? There's a finite. They said, like, by xyz, we're. We're out of resources. Right. Didn't they say that?
Jackie
10 years.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
10 years. So I don't know if that would make me. All the more reason. I think I'd be like, I'm just gonna live it up then.
Jackie
Well, have you guys seen the egg theory?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
No.
John Feitelberg
No.
Jackie
Oh, you know how she was talking about freezing her eggs? Stem cells are in the eggs, so then they can access their stem cells through the eggs.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Access who's. What? Oh, the joined people can.
Jackie
So I don't know if they would.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, put them back in her.
Jackie
Would you eat it?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
Jackie
So that's the part that I don't really know. I didn't, like, fully, but either they populate using her eggs or. No, I think that they would, like, inject the whatever into the eggs and then can they not, I think, maybe put it in their food?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Could they procreate?
Jackie
Yeah, I know. That's a good point.
John Feitelberg
I guess so.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I don't know. I wonder if they, like, have some rule that they can't do that. But it's like, they keep being like, we're all gonna die in 10 years, like, make more babies. Yeah. I wonder. I wonder, though, I guess that maybe if you had a new. New brain, would it be in the hive?
John Feitelberg
If you had a new.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, like, if two hive mind people have about a baby, does the hive thing automatically apply? Or is that. Now there's 12 people, now there's 13 people? Because maybe they.
John Feitelberg
I would guess on them. I would think it would.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I don't know. I don't know how that works.
John Feitelberg
It was just a kiss. Just a kiss, guy.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. Yeah. It was like a physical thing. Right. So it's like, you. You probably have that.
John Feitelberg
I don't know how it works with, like, what.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You always say something that's nuts.
Jackie
I'm not completely convinced that we're not already, like a hive mind.
John Feitelberg
That doesn't surprise me at all.
Jackie
Yeah, I don't think to that extent.
John Feitelberg
Can I say some kind of nuts.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I mean the, the Internet like for sure has, has it a hive mind effect. I wouldn't say we're not, we're not like that, but like we're way more than we were. Right.
Jackie
But I don't know, it's like, it's like mushrooms. Like they're all connected, but they're individuals. Individual mushrooms, but they're all connected.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Wait, what? Say it again.
John Feitelberg
No.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah, mushrooms are.
John Feitelberg
You want me to say I don't know? Yeah, like, yeah, I don't know.
Jackie
And like they all look like individuals, but they're not.
John Feitelberg
I don't know enough about humans or mushrooms to prove this theory wrong. And they make sense.
Jackie
And it's like at some, at some extent like you have, you know, I feel like almost like the fact that I could picture what it's like to be a coal miner. I've never been a coal miner, but for some reason my brain is able to. And I understand like the imagination, you know, can do that. But like if you think about it in terms of AI, like AI, the only reason that you're able to. That it's able to like conjure up something and new ideas if it's had like personal experience, you know, that into the. Its own data. And so it just kind of makes me think like, what if the only reason I can picture being a coal miner is because a part of me is actually a coal miner and that's just part of my data, so. Sorry.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Okay.
John Feitelberg
I mean, look, it's all good things. I would argue you've read stories or watched movies about coal miners. Yeah, but like, not like you just fucking know it through flying.
Jackie
I guess I've read stories about flying.
John Feitelberg
But like, you know, you, you've heard other people's experiences.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
This is like a, it's like the flat earth argument. It's like I've only heard it from other people. I, I haven't actually.
Jackie
Yeah, but do you ever have a dreams about flying?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
No.
Jackie
What do you guys. Okay, sorry, real quick, just last thing. Do you hear ringing in your head? Like not ringing your ears, ringing your head, like right here. High pitched noise.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Well, I mean you hear things in your ear, so how would you. No, how do you hear something here?
Jackie
I know that's, that's what this is.
John Feitelberg
The, that's like during the time. Right.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Occasionally I, I, my, my. I right now I permanently have like a. And I just kind of live with it. But then every now and then I zero in on it. And I'm like, go away. Go away. I think they call it tinnitus. Right.
Jackie
That's like a thing I obviously don't know.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But I think. I think tinnitus is for people who like. It's like overwhelming and you can't like, live your life. I'm. Right now it's just like.
Jackie
But sometimes it's like. Sometimes it's like, ow. It's like literally sounds like a feedback loop. If you hold a microphone to an.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Amp, don't feel that.
Jackie
Okay. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Occasionally my head will be ringing. I think it's a headache. But right now I'm pretty good.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That's why I need to sleep with white noise. Because otherwise I just focus on the.
Jackie
Really? That seems like, you know.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
Jackie
Deeper issues maybe.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I don't know. I just thought I had ringing in my head. No, Well, I mean the deeper issues of that. I cannot be left alone with my thoughts in silence. But the r ringing is, I think, a physical thing.
Jackie
It just makes me feel like. Yeah, microchipped or something like that. Like, I didn't realize, like, because I keep saying this to people and people.
John Feitelberg
Are like, you, this bitch is such a. I'm nervous. This is. We're gonna do a whole new thing now. What's gonna happen to you next? Yeah, right, Sorry. I'm worried about where your brain goes when you don't check it into this room twice a week.
Jackie
Yeah.

Jackie
It's I will fight.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I mean, sounds like it should be a new podcast. Jackie, thoughts like run wild, girl.
Jackie
I don't know, I just, I think that, yeah, I do. I do, like, teeter on the edge of like seriously going nuts and like going crazy. So you just have to like, if you see me in the hallways, just chicken.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Do I remain your. Your keeper?
Jackie
Yeah. That's right. Yeah, you do.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I'm the one that can send her to a mental institution if I want.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, you have. You have final say.
John Feitelberg
Is that 1099? No, that's 1057.
Jackie
Yeah. When was the time that we came closest? I think I.
John Feitelberg
There wasn't, like, sometime, like, I think.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It was a winter last year.
Jackie
Yeah. I was starting to lose it. I was just like, hey, you're in charge of reeling me back, which it's not in my hands now. That's right.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That smile, it's like, I don't have.
John Feitelberg
Any responsibility for my own craziness anymore. I don't make any decisions.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I am not in control of my own craziness.
John Feitelberg
And it's great.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I put that burden on a man.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, well, we'll. We'll. We'll keep an eye on that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, we keep.
John Feitelberg
You got to. You got to do your own effort, too, though.
Jackie
Not anymore. No.
John Feitelberg
You got to stop reading all this conspiracies. Like, what are you looking. You got a microchip in your head right now.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Jackie's got, like, black pill. She's gone red pill into black pill. She's gone, bro.
Jackie
I don't actually think I'm microchip, just for the record, but when I.
John Feitelberg
You will occasionally say things where I'm like, where'd you hear that? Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, I'm always curious. I would love to just follow Jackie's, like, Internet habits. Is it. Are you picking this up on Twitter? Are you watching, like, a weird podcast? Are these, like, how do these things come into your brain, or is it natural?
Jackie
I can't lie. I've been listening.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It's the mushroom.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
I've been listening to this podcast, the telepathy tapes, and that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That's it.
Jackie
It all goes back to the telepathy made me actually.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Three years.
Jackie
It's on season two now, so it's okay. And I'm currently listening to an episod. How like horses. There's a lot of. Like, you can read a horse's mind, and they're easier minds to read. And I actually believe it.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
If. If. If there is not a video of Jackie trying to read a horse's mind next month.
John Feitelberg
Come on, man.
Jackie
There's something about horses that are podcasts.
John Feitelberg
For, like, three years, you tell me. Listen to podcasts. Yeah, but I don't read horse's mind.
Jackie
Yeah, that's what you do with your reading. Well, it's not so much a reading mind. It's that they can talk with their minds.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So Wait, the horses can read?
John Feitelberg
You're listening to a podcast?
Jackie
Okay, there's a singular.
John Feitelberg
Jackie, hang on. What is the podcast about? Give it to me. It's about autistic kids communicating through telepathy, John.
Jackie
Yeah, exactly.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But now there's horses. Season one was autistic kids. Season two's horses.
Jackie
All right, well, there's one episode. The other episode is about, like, being so serious.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I don't think she likes that we're laughing about it.
John Feitelberg
I don't think she does either.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
This is serious business, folks.
John Feitelberg
What is the horse episode about?
Jackie
What?
John Feitelberg
The horse mind reading episode.
Jackie
Like, occasionally, if they're hurt, they'll kind of like just like. Like tune into your mind and be like, hey, by the way, like, I can't breathe.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And then.
Jackie
And then. But there's certain people who are more tapped into horses, obviously.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
And so then they can just like, read.
John Feitelberg
You can. You can spot them. They're not quiet about it.
Jackie
No, no.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It kind of gives a new definition of the horse girl.
Jackie
There are government official people who are. Well, also there's government official mediums who can. I don't even want to get.
John Feitelberg
That was a whole other episode.
Jackie
I'm not even gonna get into it. But yeah, the horses are, for some reason, a little bit more connected. They can talk to humans a little bit more, and humans can talk to horses a little bit more.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Confused. You know what, Jackie, Sometimes, you know what Jackie just gave me there. It might be a little weird. She gave me very Jason Bateman vibes right there. The way she was talking, sort of like, hey, the horses, they can reach those mice. You just say these things so matter of fact, like, we all know that the horses read each other.
John Feitelberg
I see. Now here's. Here's where I'm gonna come in with, like, I don't disagree with you.
Jackie
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
But I obviously don't agree with you.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Like, there is clearly some connection between humans and horses that's better than connects with other animals, right?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, because. Well, because they have telepathy brains, bro.
John Feitelberg
We just interact with them more. There's a reason we interact with them more than any other animals.
Jackie
Animal. I don't. Dogs.
John Feitelberg
Well, not. I don't mean, but the dogs would be in the same.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
There's a handful of animals saying that dogs don't have telepathy.
Jackie
No, no, I do believe that point, John.
John Feitelberg
Well, hold the phone there. Excuse me, sir. Did you just say dogs aren't telepathic? Idiot. It's where you lose me, is where you become. It comes More of a formal thing where, like, we're talking to horses and. And we're reading their minds.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. You believe in unspoken connection? Yeah. Yeah. I don't want a communication really, like.
Jackie
Lose all my credibility, but I did.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, oh, oh, don't do that, Jackie.
Jackie
I did have a time when I like, I had telepathy with my dog.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Say more.
Jackie
But it's. I don't really. It's like, not gonna sound like it, but it's just. I know. I know that it was okay, basically. Okay, so I used to, like, when my first dog was like, in a crate, you know, I used to sleep with him, like, next to his crate because I felt bad. Whatever. So that's where we. And the whole point of, like, telepathy is you really have to, like, form, like, a bond with these animals. Okay. So that was where, like, the bond ness began. And then one night, I just all of a sudden, like, I really had a song stuck in my head. This is not gonna sound like it. It's not gonna sound like it, but I know. Just trust me, like, I know this was telepathy. Okay.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Source. Just trust me, bro.
Jackie
So I do a song really stuck in my head. And it was playing in my head, playing in my head, playing in my head. And it was like, so. And then it kept playing and it was so loud to the point where, like, I could hear it. And then I like. I like, look. And then all of a sudden I could, like, hear it. It was blasting. And my dog looked up at the same time, and then he looked at me and in. In his look. I just knew that we were. Do you know, a little bit.
John Feitelberg
What? You lost me so long ago. What are you talking about?
Jackie
I actually.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So the dog knew that the song was playing something.
John Feitelberg
Your head's popped up with Pavs taking up a Pavs not. You're looking at me. This is his fault. He's the one letting me roam around out here.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
What are the fuck are you doing?
John Feitelberg
Let me talk about having telepathy with my dog. Turn my mic off.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Put me in prison. What are we doing here?
John Feitelberg
What the fuck are you doing? Let me talk about having telepathy with my dog.
Jackie
Are you fucking nuts?
John Feitelberg
What, bro? So goddamn funny, dude.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
These are the moments that I. These are the moments where I'm like, let's not end this show. Because I'm like, like, like definitively. Business wise, growth wise, money wise, we need to do work and pivot. But I'm like, where's this gonna happen?
John Feitelberg
You gotta find a New place to be saying these things.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
We need, at the very least once a month, Telepathy horse video. Just call it the telepathy horse. And you just talk about that.
Jackie
What are you doing?
John Feitelberg
Let me talk about telepathy horses.
Jackie
But do you guys still want to hang out?
John Feitelberg
Definitively? Honestly, don't.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
No, I want.
John Feitelberg
It's kind of.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I'm almost looking forward towards to doing this. Maybe not, like, it sucks for the audience, but for me, I would love to hang out. You can hang out. You're talking dog telepathy. You can hang out whenever you want, girl.
John Feitelberg
But my thing is, I don't know how I respond to things like that. When there is the camera in the right.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
If this was just privately, John would be in a pretzel. He would just be silent.
John Feitelberg
He'd be like, all right, let's be playful. Otherwise, he'd be like, what the fuck did you say? What are you talking about?
Jackie
Yeah, at least I can, like, pin you guys down to, like, make you listen to me in my fucking crazy Jack.
John Feitelberg
He just walks into the office every day. Like, you guys hear about the new podcast I'm listening to? John, what do you think about this?
Jackie
Yeah, no, let's. Let's just.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Let's hang out. You want to hang out?
Jackie
Maybe.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, I was thinking the other day that, like, the. The. The. I think I've said this before, but. What I wish. Last night, me and Clem and Robbie watched Home Alone on a stream together.
John Feitelberg
Oh, hell yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And so we did it over Zoom. And it was really fun. I really enjoyed it.
Jackie
Was this. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And I was just thinking, like, at this age, that's the kind of stuff I want to do. And. And preferably, we were in person. Like, I would. I. I want. What I want to have is adult male sleepovers.
John Feitelberg
Oh, dude.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And. But. But, like, you can't. You're gay and weird if you do that, right? And, like. But I don't want to drink. I don't want to party. It's not like, oh, we. We partied. And then like, you crashed at my house. It's like, come over to my house. We're gonna put on a movie, and you can, like, get under the blankets and sleep at night.
Jackie
You know what I mean?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, we have your own room. I'll have. I'll have plenty of space for everyone. But I just want, like, my bros to come over and hang out.
John Feitelberg
I have fantasies about sleepovers. Right. I know they did this recently on the ACT that, like, it's male sleepovers are A thing, People. Are they a thing? I don't know.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I know. Like, I know we're all talking about desiring them.
John Feitelberg
Desire.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Okay. We all.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So did chicks have sleepovers, like, as a kid?
John Feitelberg
Like, was it as often? Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Slumber parties for girls, for sure.
John Feitelberg
Talking about, I knew you guys had it. But I guess I'm thinking about, like, in my family, like, I loved. I was out of the house every night, but my sisters were both like homebodies. So, like, in my experience, girl, but.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Not girls coming over your house. Maybe they were just having. Maybe they were hosting.
John Feitelberg
I guess I wouldn't have been there.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So I think sleepovers. I saw some video of some guys Manosphere podcast being like, I will never let my daughter have a sleepover. The statistics show he's like 90 of girls get raped at sleepovers.
John Feitelberg
And.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And everyone was like, like, what are you talking about, dude? Like, yeah, I'm sure there are horrible instances, but, like, you can have sleepovers. And I think sleepovers are, like, the most fun ever.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
They're like my best childhood memories. And I think now, like, when I'm. When you're over partying and I don't know, you just kind of settle in. Like, at my age, I'm sort of like, I. I what I. What sucks the most? I feel like being a guy. This is a thing too. I think girls are usually better about, like, getting together and friend being seen. I have a. I have a friend group that's really good about getting together. And I'm always kind of the one. Like, I can't make it. I got the kids, I got work, whatever. But in general, like, I think what I miss the most is just like, hanging out with friends.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
As you get older and. And again, I'm making this a guy thing. I don't know if it is or not, but as a guy, I'm like, I can. I can not talk to one of my good friends for, like, months at a time. And then once I do them, we're fine. It's like, Dan, you just slid right back in.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And I think that's cool that we can do that. But I'm like, I don't. But I don't want to do that. Rather, like hang out all the time, but I don't want it to be the other. And then the other side of it is I'm very picky about this. I want to hang out with everyone, but I don't want it to be like a party, a plan thing. We have to go To a restaurant. We have to get a reservation. We get everyone together. It has to be 35 people or nothing, you know? Right. I don't know. This weekend, these two buddies came over and slept over. And the next day, it's this guy, and you know what I mean? Just like how it used to be with friends. I don't think my friends would do it, like. Or feel this passionately about it as I do. But my dream would be to, like. I want. I want. When I. When I get my house done, I want to make it a place where people like, I want to go sleep over that guy's house. I want to go have a slumber party with Kevin.
John Feitelberg
You guys heard of Neverland? Yes. I want to.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I want to be Michael Jackson.
John Feitelberg
Do something like that. I got a petting zoo. Really? Perfect.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
What I think I'm gonna do is.
John Feitelberg
His Never Neverland or. Which one's the Peter Pan?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Which one's him? Peter Pan is Never Never Land. He's the Neverland Ranch.
John Feitelberg
The Neverland Ranch.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna trick this thing out. I'm gonna get the basketball court done. The pool will be done. I want to get a pool table. I want to get all this. That people. So people, there's cool stuff to do when you come. And I think I'm going to have child care. Like, I'm gonna have a pen in my backyard. I mean, you bring all your kids there, you throw them in the pen, and there is, like, an accredited nanny or something watching them. So that. Because then it's always like, I want to come, but I got the kids, Then if I bring the kids, it becomes a kids event, not an adult event. If I don't bring the kids, then. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, you bring them, throw them in the pen. We can go play hoops, we can go swimming. We do cannonballs. We can go play pool, watch a movie, and then I'll have a bunch of sleeping bags.
Jackie
You are child trafficking.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, it does. That's the problem. All of this inherently sounds super creepy and, like, weird or, like. Like, gay and sexual. It's like, none of that. I just want to hang out with the bros without partying and without making it too big of a production.
Jackie
Like.
John Feitelberg
Like always on the episode.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
This is a humongous always.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, right, Right.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. They send out. They want to have dudes.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, that's exactly. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
It's clearly. This is a thing that men go through, because, like I said, the yak did it recently? Always. Sonny's got an episode on it. People like having slumber parties, like tote bags.
Jackie
Like, you know, and here you are carrying your little tote bag.
John Feitelberg
What did you just say to me?
Jackie
Tote bags?
John Feitelberg
What about them?
Jackie
Just like, you know, you guys have.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Your matching tote bags. Kind of like, you're. You're. You're gay guys. You're gay.
John Feitelberg
What does that have to do with anything?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I thought we were just gonna take a stray. I don't know. Maybe she has a point. I thought we're gonna be like, detour real quick from the slumber party. You guys are gay. Come on back.
Jackie
No, I'm saying, like, tote bags were. You know, men were afraid to wear tote bags, so.
John Feitelberg
Oh.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, we're the trailblazers.
Jackie
We're breaking the trailblazers. And, like, it just takes. Like, just be like, what do you mean you don't have sleepovers, bro?
John Feitelberg
We used your dog make this point.
Jackie
I was. First of all, fuck you and your tote bags. I was literally saying you guys made.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Tote bags, cool bags of anything.
John Feitelberg
That's not what you were saying.
Jackie
That's what I was saying. But now that you're saying that your tote bags are gay, I don't know.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
If that happened on an episode. Did we talk, like. I don't know if the full extent.
Jackie
Did not give them enough.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. So this is it, right? I have a different one today. Okay. But this is.
John Feitelberg
I got a different one.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So where'd you guys get. You guys both got these from somebody? It's.
John Feitelberg
No, it's. It's. It's.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You bought these separately?
John Feitelberg
No, it is the. It's a store.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Okay.
John Feitelberg
And then that's just like your. Your shopping bag when you walk out. So I had got Cat Pavs a present from that store. So I brought him the present in the bag.
Jackie
What was the present?
John Feitelberg
Clothes from the store.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But. So they both have this bag. And there was one day, like, we wrapped up. All right, see you guys later. And they both just went like, no, no, no, no.
Jackie
And Pabst goes, that's mine. That's my quitting bag.
John Feitelberg
I was unbelievable.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I gotta let him know he's gonna walk down.
John Feitelberg
But speaking of presents, I got a great present for Ria in that bag today.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Cool.
Jackie
Well.
John Feitelberg
You guys have all seen it, but this is Ria's favorite movie. Oh, Too Fast.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Wow. That is fire. That's very cool. You're not gonna keep that for yourself?
Jackie
Tell me what happens in Too Fast.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Two Furious Bunch of cars.
John Feitelberg
Well, how much time you got, Jackie? It's pretty nuanced.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
We don't need to break down anyway. I'm gonna have adult sleepers.
Jackie
Okay.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You know when people think, like, I don't know if you guys did this, but I feel like everybody at some point has this thought of, like, why don't we all get, like, an apartment building and we all get a unit and, like, live together, or, like, let's all, like, live on the same block, the same houses. I think we should do those things for real. It's impossible. But if there was ever a world, like, if I could have got, like, a. There was, like, a five unit apartment and like, 10 of my friends all paired off. We all lived in the same building. It would have been the greatest years of my life. Yeah, it would be. I know it's silly and impractical, but, like, if there is a way to actually do that, you should do it. I think what I'm describing is, like, a cult and a commune. People who actually decide to go do that are, you know, like, shunned from society. But if you could do it in a normal way, I think it would be the most fun of all time.
John Feitelberg
I think we have. My. Me and my friend group are working towards a normal way of doing it.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Really.
John Feitelberg
We go away every year, and we also. When we go away, we also bring a book of scratch tickets, right? $1,000 worth of scratch tickets. And we scratch the tickets while we're away. And if we ever hit it big, we buy the house we're staying in.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Cool.
John Feitelberg
And that's it. And we lose $1,000 a year is what happens, right? And it's what will happen. This will never happen until we die. But it almost gives, like, a fun reason to do it. We're like, all right, we got all the money. Like, literally. What I'm saying is, if we hit the lottery, we buy a house. Are you saying in, like, it's not a very plan.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Are you staying in, like, unattainable houses?
John Feitelberg
I mean, not unattainable.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I'm telling you right now. If there's ever a world where you're buying a house, you're buying a second house. And you're just like, guys, and you. And you do the trip, and you're like, you know what? We should come back next weekend. And people like, oh, wouldn't that be great? But, like, we only have a rental for this weekend. And you're like, no, no, no, I bought the house. It will bring the house down Everyone would know if you bought the house.
John Feitelberg
Well, because we only buy. We. Everyone know we hit. We hit the lottery.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I said like, if you are ever in a situation where you could buy a house, if you buying a second home, vacation home of some sort, make it. Try to make it one of the ones you've ever rented before and then just drop it on them. It would be the greatest.
Jackie
What are you just going on like a vacation home with everybody or like.
John Feitelberg
A, you know, just describing less fun ways to do it? Gotta hit the lottery. Yeah. Yeah. Why aren't you just buying vacation homes? I don't fucking know. I haven't hit the lottery yet. You're missing the big part of it.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
The car before the horse here.
John Feitelberg
You gotta hit the lottery first. Oh, you know, it would be fun. Surprise your friends with a house.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
House.
John Feitelberg
I gotta hit the lottery first. It would be so sick though, man.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That would be funny though. The day you guys ever do win the lottery, someone's gonna be like, bro.
John Feitelberg
I got bills to pay. I can't buy the house.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, mine's going to debt and sorry.
John Feitelberg
Everyone else will be like, we have four kids. I'm like, we made a promise 20 years ago. What are you talking about? That's why I didn't have any kids. I knew I was gonna have to buy this fucking house house one day.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I've been planning this the whole time.
Jackie
But there's work. There's workarounds for you. I feel like if you just. Okay, like invite one of your friends over just for like a normal, you know, night.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Lock the doors.
Jackie
Yeah. Just like slash tires.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Now you're trapped. That's how horror movies start to sleep at my house.
Jackie
Yeah, but you either go horror movie.
John Feitelberg
Or like outside with a knife, someone slashed everyone's eyes except my.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Here are some sleeping bags. Want some popcorn? I think the problem is women. I think women make this impossible. I think if a bunch of guys were like, I'm gonna go have sleepovers, they'd be like, no, the. You're not. You got to stay home and like, live with me. Oh, oh, we. You ruined. Yeah, you ruined the fun.
Jackie
No, I don't think I'm gonna let you blame us for that. I think that you like.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Again, objection. You.
Jackie
It's the term. Like, you guys just think it's for some reason not okay. Because you guys are all like. You're the ones that are like, oh.
John Feitelberg
We'Re men and we don't have sleepovers.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
No, these are two different sleepovers. That. That is an issue. The second issue is that women, if you're dating them or married to them, don't like you having fun without them.
Jackie
No.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yes.
Jackie
That's not true.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Facts, facts.
Jackie
I think it's just if you like, you know, get all your done and.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, I don't know, there's always some to be done. Really? Well, you didn't.
Jackie
I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna take the blame for that woman. Women, whatever the.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I love that she's so.
John Feitelberg
Whatever it is we are.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
She acts like that is. I. I'm asking her to like, be so over the. I'm just asking you to use the singular and plural.
Jackie
I just don't know where I'm going wrong.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And like, you understand the idea of like, single employer.
Jackie
No, I get that. I get that. But.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But like, if you were saying dog and dogs. Mixing those up, you're like my dogs.
Jackie
But it's. People are saying like, that's. Oh, it's pronounced W. I M. Women. Yeah, but then. So then how about you spell it W?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You know, there's a million arguments like that.
John Feitelberg
Fair. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Why is. You know, why does Philadelphia start with a P? It sounds like an F, you know. No, you do that with a million words.
Jackie
I don't know. I just think it's stupid. I just think it's stupid and it's just like a waste of time and like, use content. Of all the things you're going to call me out on.
John Feitelberg
You're not going to call me out.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
On dogs, telepathy, women. Woman.
Jackie
Anyways, okay. I feel like I should be like, keeping you guys on track.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. Okay. I have. I have a story. Speaking of, I don't know, I guess like petting zoos at my house. There's a bat in my house right now.
Jackie
What?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You heard me. I did. I stutter.
John Feitelberg
I recently, extremely recently saw a bat in a house. Thought it'd be much cuter than I expected. What do you think?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
They're pretty scary looking.
John Feitelberg
Really?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Well. Well, I did.
John Feitelberg
No, mine was in a picture, so. Oh, that's what I mean. Like, I saw a picture of it.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I was like, oh, that's cute.
John Feitelberg
I thought it was gonna be.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So I was. I'm watching TV and I start hearing like thuds, like loud noises. And walk upstairs and this bat is just like, like hitting the walls, hitting the ceiling, like, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud. And so I.
John Feitelberg
Not doing so hot.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Huh? What's that?
John Feitelberg
Sonar is not doing.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So, yeah, I was like, what is this, Batman? Like this, this is what's supposed to be happening here. Bruce Wayne up there just flying into the wall and so throw a scream.
John Feitelberg
Out into the void, see what comes back. Now.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I do think he's injured. I think I have a injured, battered bat in my house because. So I, I get him like, he, he flies like down the hallway. So there's like the whole section that's being, I was about to say being operated on, being renovated. I think that's how we got in is there's like holes and shit in my fucking house. And this bat was injured and now can't really fly that well. So he has just hunkered down in like the top corner of like, where the wall meets the ceiling. And he's just like, there's like a two by four there and he's just latched on and he ain't going anywhere, bro. I'm banging on the wall. I'm like, I, I didn't, I didn't go as far as hitting him with like a broom, but on the other side of the wall, I'm like, he's. He's on this side of the wall and I'm banging right on him, and he's just holding on for dear life. And so the renovate, the. The construction guys are there today. And I was like, are you guys working upstairs or downstairs today? And they're like, oh, just downstairs. And I was like, I was like, I was like, oh, okay, Just, just for safety purposes, there's a bat up there and I don't want anyone getting bit. And he was like, what? And I was like, yeah, there's a bat. And it might have rabies, so don't go near it. And, and, and he was like, how. Why is there a bat? I was like, I don't know, it must be because of like the construction, all the open walls and stuff. And he was like, I'll take a look at the bat.
John Feitelberg
That's all I wanted.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
All I wanted was someone else to be like, I will take care of your bat problem. I mean, if, when you Google it, it's like, get your, your thickest pair of gloves. Make sure you wear like face protection and you need to like, hit it and capture it in a bucket. And I was like, I'm not doing.
John Feitelberg
Any of this, bro.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That bat now owns that half of my house until further notice. I opened up a window, I took the screen out, and I closed all the other doors. And I was like, until this bat just decides to leave or until my construction guys get rid of It. Bruce Wayne. It's. It's Wayne Manor.
John Feitelberg
He lives there until Keegan forms a telepathic connection with it and asks it to leave.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Bro, that. That is. Luckily, though, like. Like, my. My kids with their mom at this point. So, like, they're coming tomorrow, and I'm like, I gotta get rid of this bat. Because if there's a bat in my house, my kids will never stop talking about it, being scared of it. They're gonna run right home and be like, there's a bat in dad's house. Oh, you know, child protective service will be calling me to tomorrow, so I got it. So one way or another, this bat's got to go by tomorrow.
Jackie
But you know what I gotta know about? When they're upside down, like, does the blood not rush to their head?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I would imagine it does.
John Feitelberg
I would imagine. Imagine evolution has handled that one.
Jackie
They don't.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
They don't mind.
Jackie
Maybe they just don't mind. Another thing is, like, I don't know if I've already mentioned this on the show, but, like, kangaroos, you know, they, like, hop around.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
But every other animal, like, when they need to get away from a predator, they run. So, like, why. Why do they make kangaroos hot?
John Feitelberg
Like, but they can probably hop like that.
Jackie
I know, but then. But it's like, cheetahs can run. Really? Like, just. Why are kangaroos. The one that they're like, this one's gonna hop.
John Feitelberg
I don't know. You know, like, why? Like, what about fish in the ocean?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Why?
John Feitelberg
Like, why. How are they breathing in that water?
Jackie
Yeah, but.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But. But there is only one that I know.
Jackie
It's such, like, an unserious way to get away from a predator.
John Feitelberg
Bunny's hot.
Jackie
Shut up. Okay, but it's still, like, bunny's hop.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Counterpoint from Jackie. Shut up.
John Feitelberg
It's a good point.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Jackie, as a lawyer, like, any. Any further questions? Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Shut up. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Closing statement.
John Feitelberg
This guy's guilty. Shut the up.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, man. Anyway, so the Dan episode was great. If you haven't watched it, please go do. So I'd imagine if you're listening to this, you've also watched the one with Dan. It was very funny how we all just slid back in. It did give me some thoughts, and I texted Dan this after on our group chat. It's hard to say this because Dan went on to make the biggest, best podcast of all time. But I was like, if. If this stayed together, I think this would be, like, the best podcast of all time. And I kept thinking, I'm like, we would be, like, as successful as, like, pardon my dick.
John Feitelberg
And it's like, oh, yeah, he. It was him.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
He went and did it. But I do have this feeling of, like. And their show's great, but, like, kind of what he was saying about. He's like, they just talk about sports, and I just think there was. You get to see, like, more sides of us and everything. The way we did it. I think that it could have been, you know, even bigger and better and more successful than we already were. But I was also trying to think how many podcasts had multiple people, like, a crew early on. I feel like we were really one of the first to do that, because that's. It's like Rogan and Bill Burr and Bill Simmons, but they were all, like, individual. Maybe had, like, a partner, like a B host, you know?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But as far as, like, nowadays, where you see, like, groups of guys getting together, groups of people getting together, I think Legion of Skanks was, like, right around the same time as us, maybe, like, a year later. I guess Opie and Anthony kind of.
John Feitelberg
Had a crew, but that was most radio shows.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
It's the. The podcast revolution or whatever it is. It's funny we don't acknowledge it's just radio.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Radio. Yeah. Right.
John Feitelberg
So. But I think there's a podcast that started doing, too, like, all the radio radio shows.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. Yeah. I just. I do think there was a difference, though, with, like, I guess serious became a. You're allowed to say whatever you want and do whatever you want. That's kind of what happens on the Internet. But so. Yeah, I mean, I guess there's. There's a couple of those, but I really do feel like, as far as digital podcasts, Internet world, I think they.
John Feitelberg
Came on the scene as, like, podcasts came on the scene as, like, this different thing. Whereas, like, they were just radio, and then now they're just talk shows.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Like, I feel like most podcasts aren't even really podcasts anymore. There's talk shows on you.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. It's almost like. Well, like, the View for women.
John Feitelberg
Exactly.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Is there one for guys like that? I guess it would be Rogan.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, but.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But he's, like, a solo dude. You know what I mean? He has people on. But, like. Like, when Joe does protect our parks.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
People love it, and it's like, that's just what we were doing. There's always, like, three or four guys, like, around, you know? So. Yeah, I think. I think it was very funny to see how much you just slid right Back into it. That was wild.
John Feitelberg
It was really, really fun.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I didn't know what to expect, but I didn't expect it to be like seamless like that. Even the way you were like the voicemails. But like the way you were talking like it was it. For a split second we kind of fell back into like Dan and I are like older and talking 100. Which used to make a lot more sense then because it was like we were like married or whatever and you were still like a bowl like a young kid.
John Feitelberg
I'm like, well now it's like four years.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
In the 20s. That's a big deal.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Now it's like totally the same. But at that point it was sort of like. Like we give you advice or we like oh, I've been through that. Here's what's gonna happen or whatever.
John Feitelberg
That's the first time I've ever seen that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
The four years funeral.
John Feitelberg
Four years funeral.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Should have been pretty clear to that guy. Mental problems. Mental health is gonna be an issue. That was my first time seeing that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
A little bit of foreshadowing.
John Feitelberg
Oh my God, you're so sad. But even that like when you were.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
At the very end, you're like, so when you guys. You guys are using the toilet. Got streaks in there. I was like, this is a lot like John. But he used to be kind of like so how it goes. And then we would say whether it is or not. It was. It was very funny.
Jackie
How much laugh sounded more broy or something. You know what I mean?
John Feitelberg
My laugh?
Jackie
Yeah. Like I feel like you had like you're. You're more like back then bro. It just felt like. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I mean it did everything probably more bro. We were, you know, young bros at the time.
John Feitelberg
Like it was cool. Just like it was like I. I definitely felt all those different dynamics and I was like, oh wow. Like yeah, it's back. I haven't felt like the young guy in a while. Yeah. This is fun.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Right? Right. Now that that dynamic was very cool. Very fun. Great episode. Thanks to Dan for coming through. Blessing in disguise that the flight got cancelled because I think it would have been. That might have made it awkward.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I don't know. That would maybe would have been like this is weird. I haven't. Cuz despite I don't think we did that many episodes of TFS Radio with Dan in person.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, that's true.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Because we. I pretty quickly he started PMT and. And let.
John Feitelberg
Started before we even got to New York.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
York. Right. So. So when we got to New York. We probably had a couple months of doing it in those studios. Max. Yeah. I bet you it's only like a. Like a. Like, count on two hands.
John Feitelberg
You're right. I kind of think a 99.99.9 of KFC radio episodes with Dan are like.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So maybe it would be weird. We should have never done.
Jackie
When was the first time you met him in person? Like, did you podcast with him before you meeting him in person?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
No. Oh, God. Oh, yeah.
John Feitelberg
Like. Like, yeah. The Case Again Podcast.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Honestly, for me, it might have been. Casey Radio 100. No, that's a lot of episodes. We. We would have met before that. It's probably one of those Christmas parties. Yeah. But not. Not many. Not often. Well, so.
Jackie
Weird. Weird.
John Feitelberg
The whole very weird existence.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I mean, we. Like, I. I said in that episode, it's like we were like. There were some of my best friends that I would never see.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. It was like parasocial relationships. Before parasocial relationships, but we actually had relationships.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Real. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. We were more pen pals than, like, parasocial relationships.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But, I mean, if you g. Chat with someone all day long, like, I knew more about them and talked to them more often than had, like, my life.
John Feitelberg
Weirdly intimate conversations, like, conversations I had.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I had four boxes going. I'm, like, talking about girls over here, life over here, and work over here. Like, keep moving. Everybody hates dealing with insurance. It's the open enrollment. You miss your date, you got to opt into this, opt out of that. In plan. Out of plan. Dental vision. You know, I don't want to do any of that. I don't ever want to deal with insurance. That's why ROE has their insurance checker that lets you know if you're covered for GLP1s for free. So if you're looking to do the weight loss and you don't know if you're covered by it, you don't know how to get it, if you go to roe, they take care of it for you. No paperwork, no hassle, no waiting on hold. It's a free insurance checker that sends you a comprehensive report of all of your coverage details so that you can make a decision on what's right for you and your fitness goals. So if you decide to move forward, RO will help you handle the GLP1S. Ozempic WeGovy. Find out if they're right for you and your goals. And that's just the beginning. From there, they can take care of everything from acquiring it to using it to meeting your goals. Like I said. And if you're not covered, then you know you don't have to go down this road. Or you could figure out an alternative. If you want to pay out of pocket, you know you have to deal with that. But the first step is finding out whether you're covered or not. And ROE will do that to you for free. When you go to RO Co, that's RO Co kfcr. Don't forget the R so RO Co KFCR to get your free insurance check. And then once you're covered, if you're covered, they'll help you get the GLP1s and start losing that weight. Right now the insurance check is for free, so you have nothing to lose. It's RO KFCR to see if your insurance covers GLP1s, go to Road Co Safety for boxed warnings and free and full safety informations about GLP1 medications.

Fabletics.com KFC so, so yeah, I mean we were able to just like kind of slide right back into it. Fell right back into old times. Just like you do with your friends. Like you don't need to see them for a long time as long as you guys are friends. Like, you just kind of can click again. But I guess not everybody at Barstool clicks with other people. At least according to our old friend Joey Kamasta, former co worker. He was on Amanda Hirsch's podcast, Not Skinny But Not Fat. And he was talking about his time at Barstool and he said that it made him feel very icky that there was a lot of unspoken competition and rivalry and comparison and, you know, is my show big enough? Who's bigger than me? And he, he painted the picture saying that like people were miserable to show up to work every single day. So I'm sure that's gonna make some waves in the Barstool world. But I think there's some truth to what he said. I think there's some exaggeration to what he said.
John Feitelberg
I, I agree. I, I. The only thing I was surprised by the unspoken. I feel like we all say it all the time.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think that we say it, yeah, but I don't know if it's a public facing thing. I think that around here people talk, but I don't know, like, how, how often are people on a show talking about, like, who's bigger than me or that and like jealousy and gossiping, like.
John Feitelberg
But I guess the, the gossip is what I, the gossip is incessant. It's non stop. But yeah, like I'm not, I don't.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Know if that's known. We know that. But do you think fans.
John Feitelberg
That's just the world. Like, that's not even Barcelona. This is the world.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I would agree with that.
John Feitelberg
Every dinner I go to, every place I sit down, people are bitching about someone else.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, I agree with that.
John Feitelberg
What happens?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think that Barstool has a weird. I think unspoken is the right word. Maybe not, but we all laugh about it.
John Feitelberg
We laugh. I don't know, I feel like we all acknowledge and address how bitchy and catty everyone is and we laugh about it. And it's like I, my comparisons of Barcelona are always sports based. And I'm always like, yeah, it's kind of, it's a locker room. People want to be better than other people. But like, I don't know, I don't feel it.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
What I think happened, at least for me, I can say I think it was like a team thing where it's like we have a common goal, but also you want to be the star, you want to be your best, you want to be. I want to, you know, I want to be the fastest, the strongest score, the most whatever. All within the name of, like, succeeding as a company.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I mean, so like there was Barstool Boston and there was Barstool New York. And I was like, I want to get more page views than Barstool Boston, but that's good for everybody, you know, but from a personal point of view, like, that's my goal. And then I think, you know, the same thing with each of these franchises and silos. It's like, I want to get the most views, I want to get the most downloads. What I think happens though, is we got very siloed off. Like, everybody kind of became their own thing for sure. And I think when you're a team.
John Feitelberg
That was intentional, like, that was, that was intentionally done. Yeah, that was like, yeah, we were like, like almost encouraged to be into pods.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And I think. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
I remember one time Erica being like, you need a part partner. Yeah. And then kind of everyone got a partner and then stopped working in a group.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And I think that that's a good thing in some regards. But I think we lost any sort. First of all, we don't cross pollinate here. It's insane. That's crazy to me. It's like everyone in the world wants to come on our shows to get the co sign and get people to be like, this is a really funny show, Go watch it. And we just never do that for each other. And I think that is, that's because of like, competition thing. I, I guess I think people don't like, go out of their way to promote other people's shows or shout them out or pollinate.
John Feitelberg
My thing is the opposite where I, I don't like asking people to give me their time.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, so I think that happens too. Like, I found out, like, relatively like this year that there were people who were like, intimidated by us. And I, I guess I should have done a better job of being like, you can walk through the door whenever you want and sit right down and you could be on the show. And, and I thought that was maybe like, understood. But as you get, as the, as new people come in and they don't know you as well.
John Feitelberg
And I, I, I always thought of the opposite. I thought people I thought we were old people, didn't want to talk to us.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That's what I'm saying, right?
John Feitelberg
So, like, all right, I'm not as cool for them. That's fine.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That's why when. When everyone was so nice, when we announced the ending, I was like, oh, wait, I've had this totally wrong. So. But this is. This is the unspoken part, because there's no. Everyone's just in their silo. Like, when you're on a team, you're competing against each other. Like, at practice, you get into a fight because you're like, I want to be better than you.
John Feitelberg
Right? Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But then you have a game together, and you're like, oh, wait a minute. We're on the same team. We don't have games together.
John Feitelberg
Right.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
We don't have moments where it's like a reminder, but we do.
John Feitelberg
Like. Like Secret Santa yesterday was a game together. Like, that was. That was fun. I thought, well.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Well, then the new thing, though, is like, I think becomes office versus office. I think at one point it was. I think right now, everyone in New York would do it off. Do an office, Secret Santa, the unclelympics, whatever. And we do get along. Then Chicago does their things, but it never all comes together.
John Feitelberg
We don't have to get along with everyone on the planet. No. And also, we do get along. As far as I know we get.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think we get along in a. In a surface sense. Right.
John Feitelberg
I mean, how much are we supposed to get along with the people we don't know?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think that's the thing. I think the thing is that I. I know him.
John Feitelberg
I see him. I like the people I see. Like, how much more are we supposed to get along?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think the people think. Think that everybody at barstool is friends and hangs out and sees each other and talks to each other all the time. Because at least in the beginning, when there's like five or six guys, it is like, I don't know, we're just like this one little group. It's like, yeah, at this point, there's hundreds of people. I don't even know them, let alone get along with them, and. And intimately know them. So. And. And I. I would. I would bet that this is common throughout the world in all sorts of companies, groups, franchises, teams, whatever you want to call it. But I think. I bet we were a little bit like, more. More competition, more toxic, more unspoken, Just like, a little bit more than the average.
John Feitelberg
I'm sure they. I'm a little bit poisoned because I never experienced anything Else, but, like, this feels completely normal to me. Maybe that's not good, but, like, yeah, I'm like, yeah, I don't know.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
We.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, of course we argue and we want to be better than each other. That's normal. That's. That's what work is. You want to do work and you want to do good work, and you want your good work to be better than other people's good work.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think it kind of is like a family dynamic, but we're not family. You're co workers. You know what I mean? Like, family. I feel like you can fight and butt heads and, like, really be at each other's throats, but at the end of the day, like, you're good. Where I never fight with my family, I, Yeah, I don't really, like, I don't know.
John Feitelberg
Last time I fought with my family, I. Maybe when I was 15.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, I mean, I, I guess I don't personally have that experience, but I think it's more like, no matter how bad it gets, like, at the end of the day, you do have this, like, common thing of family to come back to. And I think at one point Barstool was like that. But now barstool's so big, it's like, I don't, I'm doing KFC radio.
John Feitelberg
I don't really care what you're doing. I still feel like Barstool is family. Like, earlier in this episode when I was like, when did you, like, feel like this was your job? Like, I've always got, like, barstool is my job job.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Just do this at Barcelona.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, but, but I, I, I think, I think that you probably are, are very, like, honorable in that sense. I think once people siloed off, they were like, this is my thing. I'm worried about this. I'm not worried about anything else. I think most people are that way, which is a shame. And I think that's kind of what Joey's talking.
John Feitelberg
I can't say that, though, because, like, everyone shows up to everything.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I guess when there's like a, an event video, they do it. Yeah, I, I think it's more maybe, maybe I'm putting my own, like, bias on it because I just, I think that there should have always been more collaboration and interaction outside of, like, okay, we're doing this one big outside of main event. I think, like, there was a, There was several times. I remember, like, at one point I made a schedule for, like, us chicks in the office, Brianna, Kelly, a couple other people. And it Was like. Like, you come on our show on Tuesday, then you're gonna go on yours on Thursday. And I was like, let's try to, like, keep this going where it's like, regular appearances, like, you're, you know, a recurring guest almost. And we did it for, like, a week, and it all just fell apart. Like, I always thought there should be more. Not just when we come together for a barstool thing. It should be your show on my show and franchises mixing up. And I think when that stuff doesn't happen, it becomes like, all right, the only time we do get together is, like, the combine for DraftKings.
John Feitelberg
Right.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And that does happen, and it's cool. But it's like, that was for a work thing, not like a. We chose to do it. You know what I mean?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, if it's a little more forced in some regards. But I also. And I also think that, like, you're. You're. You feel this way, but I don't know if everybody else feels that way.
John Feitelberg
What do you mean?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That, like, you're like, I work at barstool. I'm barstool. Like, we're a family. I think there are probably people who are like, I work at that. My.
John Feitelberg
Oh, no, I'm sure about that. But that's like. I mean, how the. Would I change that? Like, then.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Fifteen years, whatever the. It's been like.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Right. That's just.
John Feitelberg
My mindset's gonna be my mindset.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yes. Yes.
John Feitelberg
I don't expect that. I don't expect someone coming now to have that mind.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That was always. My thing is, like, there were sometimes where kind of Dave was preaching to, like, everyone's got to be about, like, barstool and. And I agree with him. But you cannot expect someone who just walked in the door now at its peak, with certain expectations, certain reputations, is not going to be the same as when we started from dirt nothing and built it together.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You just can't have the same feeling for it, you know?
John Feitelberg
And it'd be crazy to expect them to.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. And. And so I wonder if, like, someone like Joey comes in and is, like, thinking, like, oh, this is gonna be, like, fun, and we're all gonna do this, and then you kind of find out that it's, like, separation of church and state. Like, oh, we don't talk to that office, and that show doesn't talk to this show.
John Feitelberg
But how would I talk to that office?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
This.
John Feitelberg
Like, what do you mean? I talk to people in that office all the time. How would I talk to that office?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, Yeah. I mean, I guess literal talk. But I'm saying, like, I mean, the. The Chicago, you know, come on, you know what I'm talking about. Chicago, New York thing is a thing. Like.
John Feitelberg
But I'm like, I'm. What I'm saying is, like, I'm not going to be talking about. I'm not replying to you. I'm replying to other people. Like, what do you mean? What are you talking about? Yeah, and that's. What are the people who think there's a beef talking about?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
What I think it should be is more of just a recognition of like. Like what he's talking about sounds a little like toxic and negative. And on some level it is. But also I think that should be. It's like, it's like this. But it's okay like this.
John Feitelberg
It's not like it's normal.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, it's normal. Like, it's. You're not going to be best friends with everybody. You're not going to be like, frequency of appearances and talking and all that.
John Feitelberg
Some people you're friends with, some people you're not really that close with. Some people you don't really like.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Why? That's how the world works.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. Why does, like, again, I kind of understood it when it was like five. Five or six of us. When it was like, just us. And it would be like, oh, I don't. I don't, like, I don't go to Dave's house. I don't, like, go to dinner with him. People like, wait, what? It's like, yeah, we're just like, we talk all the time, but it's within this framework. But when it's at this level, it's like, how would. You're younger than me. You're different. You're different. Like, you know. You know what I mean? It's like, why would a new kid walking in the door even want to talk to me, period? Like, I'm 40. You know what I mean? So it's age differences, it's lifestyle differences, it's work differences. But I. I think overall it takes a. I think you have to have some pretty thick skin and pretty tough mentality to I think, handle some of the barstool competition, rivalry, expectations. And if you. If you're not. If you don't. If you're not built like that, it probably does come across like, Joey was probably like, this is miserable, you know, if you don't have that. Like. Like, we're competing, but it's okay that we're competing.
John Feitelberg
Do you feel that?
Jackie
Well, I kind of think it's like, human nature, this is what I'm saying, you know, And I feel like it's like, there's not that many media companies that, like, have this many personalities, like, individual personalities all together. I don't know if there's a way to avoid that.
John Feitelberg
But here's what bothered me a little bit, is he. And maybe I'm projecting. It felt like he was saying, like, people will backstab, people will be cutthroat. I don't feel that. I feel like we're competitive and we want. Want to be better than other people. But, like, I don't.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But that's where I think the unspoken comes in. Like, I think there is, like, silent jealousy, silent rivalry or whatever. Maybe it doesn't go into action. Like, I will stab you in the back. But I think people know, like, all right, that person doesn't support me. That person doesn't with me. That sort of.
John Feitelberg
If. If I don't. Maybe.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You know what else I think it is? Barstool is so unique in that, like, almost everybody is a known personality.
John Feitelberg
Reality. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, usually you're at a company, and it's like, all right, that's like the top dog, the number one show. And then there's, like, 50 faceless employees that contribute. You have no idea who they are, where. It's, like, down to, like, the very last person on the roster. You know, their name, their nickname, what they do, where they're from. So there's a lot of opportunity. And it's like, I'm. I want to be a star. I want to be a star. And, like, that's all gonna clash, you know? And then especially, like, I think if. If you're one of the girls who works here, there's only, like, so many girls. So the girls start to compete, and, you know, they do golf, and we wanted to do a golf video. That's a problem. Like, all those things, I think, are a result of the fact that there's a lot of talented or noteworthy people where every time we introduce somebody, they're like, who's this person? What do they do? Who do they work with? And rather than just being, ah, it's another person that. That also opens the door for. This could be another rivalry or another competition or another, you know, person coming after the crown or whatever, however you want to describe it.
John Feitelberg
So.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So it's almost a testament to, like, how many people and. And successful people there are here. That's why I don't know if there's anything like barstool. I think what. What you're. What we're describing is like, yeah, it's probably like this at other places, and it's probably a little different other places. But, like, there's. I don't think there's anything quite like this. So there probably is some extra, you know, a little more rivalry or a little more competition or a little more toxic. The same way that there's also more success and more fun and more opportunities and more money. It's just all heightened here.
John Feitelberg
It's also. It's very funny to have someone who used to work on the Jersey Shore be, like, pretty toxic.
Jackie
Toxic.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like. Like, that guy goes to the Jersey Shore family reunion.
John Feitelberg
My only thing with barstool. Little toxic. He goes to the family reunions.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, this is such a breath of fresh air from the barstool office.
John Feitelberg
This is a breeze compared to, again, my. The only thing that jumped out. I don't think he was lying. I don't think he said anything wrong. I. I did surprised me that it was unspoken, but it also surprised me when it. I. I should feel it in a healthy sense. It's surprising.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You should use it in a good way. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
It surprisingly, when people find it to be negative, like, I'm like, yeah, no, it is competitive.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It is.
John Feitelberg
You want to be better, you're not going to cut anyone else down. I would never cut anyone else down. But, like, you do see the heights people go to, and you go, look, that looks cool.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I. I think that in order. Having healthy competition is a good thing, and the levels at which people do it here breed a lot of competition. Like, I want to get to the top. Top. And I think what goes along with that is then also some heightened emotions of jealousy or bitterness or whatever. So I think when you put everything up five notches, it all goes up, you know? But, yeah, it is funny to think that, like, you know, like, the situation is like, screaming at Angelina while Snooki and Vinnie are fighting about if they or not, and the wives are fighting. And he's just like, at least I'm not at the barstool secrets.
John Feitelberg
And thank God they're not quietly bitching about shows that do better than them. That's. That really is the toxicity, right?
Jackie
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Really successful show is more successful than me.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I hate it.
John Feitelberg
Oh, is that toxic?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)

John Feitelberg
It would be I again, like I was kind of saying, I think on the episode we announced it was ending. Like, I was like, it's pretty crazy that I have a, just an audio diary of like my 20s to 30s.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
And then we have that in G chat too. We're like, again, I'm never gonna go look and I don't think anyone should. But I wanted to, I would, I would. But I, I, I don't think there's anything that bad. Like, we definitely used words that aren't used nowadays. But like, I don't know, I wasn't.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Sure there's more like cringy than like, bad.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But I think I wouldn't want you.
John Feitelberg
To see because I'm like, oh, I wasn't. I was so wrong or.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. At one point, maybe like, this is like five, ten years ago now, I. My Gmail space was getting full and I didn't know you could just spend like 99 cents for like a terabyte or whatever.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And so I deleted a bunch of. And I deleted old stuff first. And I'm pretty sure I deleted like a lot of emails and G chats from that. You're probably right. I never would do that. But I would love to go through. And I guess if you guys still have it, someone still has it. If I was talking those conversations, you know.
John Feitelberg
But I've certainly deleted them before. Deleted. Like, I've done that before. But I think a lot of stuff's there still. I got registry because I don't know.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
How to screen this guy.
John Feitelberg
There's. Sometimes I'll be like typing like three letters and I'll be like, wait, why.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Is that person's name? Yeah, yeah, I must have been talking.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Someone I emailed like in 2006.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, right.
John Feitelberg
No, I've deleted things. Why is that still there?
Jackie
Wait, what was the first time that you two met in person? Like, did you guys. Were you guys.
John Feitelberg
We met in person before I ever.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Got the job up.
Jackie
Oh, God. Okay.
John Feitelberg
On the booze cruise.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
The ill fated booze cruise. Yeah, that was.
John Feitelberg
That was.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
We did a booze cruise.
John Feitelberg
Dude, that's a crazy thing to like, think back on, like, how close things were to not happening. Like, you hated my joke in that email that you. You didn't get it with the joke.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
What was that?
John Feitelberg
I don't remember that when I. I emailed you. It's crazy to like, I emailed you after. So I, I didn't get the barstool New York. I'm sorry.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Barstool Boston internship.
John Feitelberg
And then I. Three months later, I think I was moving to New York and I emailed you and was like, yo, I didn't get the internship in the mix. If you guys are looking for one down there. Like, I would. Happy to be a part of it Was. Wasn't gonna get Internet, but I guess I'll just steal some if you. If you want me to take the job or something. This is a very poorly delivered. It was delivered better than that. But I was like, I was just joking. I was like, yeah, I'll just, I'll make it Work. But I forget exactly what I said. And you were. You told me on the boat, you were like, dude, you have to get Internet. And I was like. I was like, oh, yeah, no, I'm gonna get Internet. I was kidding. Like, I was like, I think it's.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Just that I thought that was entirely possible that you were like, I don't.
John Feitelberg
Have money or Internet, so I'm stealing it. That's what. Yeah. Making a joke. But you were like, but you have to get Internet. I was like, oh, I'm gonna. Yeah, I'm getting Internet. But, like, I've always thought about that because I was like, what if you didn't care enough to make that? Like, what if you're like, yeah, yeah, like that? There's a lot of response. That would have been a reasonable thing to do. And I was like, damn the fact that he did it and then made sure to be like, you gotta get it. I was like, I know I'm getting Internet. I'm just kidding. How about.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Do you remember the first Halloween party where I made you take pictures? Yeah, I remember. Like, I. I don't think I did this often. You. You could tell me. I don't think I treated you like an intern very often. But that night, the. The Saloon Halloween party at its peak was awesome. It was like my pride and joy because it was just like, tons of hot girls, a crazy open bar. Everybody really went for it with the costume contest. It was like the peak of Halloween, in my opinion. So it was a big business night. But I also was like, I'm here to party. And one of the things we had to do was get pictures. I was gonna say video. I think it was mostly just like a photo dump afterwards. It wasn't even video, and so I didn't want to take pictures. And I just handed John the camera and I was like, you take the pictures for the night. And I don't even know if you did or not. Did you take pictures?
John Feitelberg
I certainly took pictures.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I don't know.
John Feitelberg
The good ones.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, I think it was just like, make sure there's a bunch of hot chicks in the picture.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But I think that was one of the very few times that I was like, do the grunt work, you know?
John Feitelberg
Yeah, that. There was that one which, by the way.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, I made you do the Spartan race. That was almost. That was, like, necessity because I was like, I physically can't do these, and we have a big ad. Deal. Deal. It was like every. Everybody in every city had to do a Spartan race. And I Was in the middle of surgeries, broken arms, all that. So I was like, I literally can't do this. So John checked in, and I remember just like, I had one of those, like, flip cameras.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, do you remember those? Yeah, I had one of those because Sony. Yeah, yeah. At the time it was like the hot. You know, And I remember just like, walking along filming John while he, like, like, crawled under barbed wire in, like, three feet of mud. And I was like, this sucks for this dude.
John Feitelberg
But, like, also, like, all these things, like we're calling grunt work. Like, I don't know.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That was fun.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I was gonna say, of all people.
John Feitelberg
Who would enjoy that, getting up and taking pictures, Chicks was fun.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. I believe you dressed up as a Jew that year.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, my parents were not it.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You had, like, the hat and the curls and everything, right.
John Feitelberg
I didn't dress up as a. I was at that time. I was the fake Jew. That's what. Not like my real name, but, like, people called me that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
And because my name is Feidelberg and I'm not Jewish. And I kind of just lean into the joke where I just. I just got.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I remember it being like, oh, that costume brought it down.
John Feitelberg
It was just like your standard rabbi costume from, like, spirit Halloween or whatever.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Where would not fly today.
John Feitelberg
It would not. But, like, it was like, I just bought it from whatever store I bought it from. And I remember, like, my parents were like, you're gonna go out in a Jewish costume. And I was like, yeah, that's a. I bought it at the store. I don't know this.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It exists for this reason. Yeah, that was a big time. My culture is not your costume moment. Yeah. But then there was the booze cruise. The booze cruise was. I think Boston had very successful booze cruises. And. And we were just going to apply that to New York. It was sort of like whatever was working in Boston, we tried to do in New York. And for the most part, we're able to replicate the March madness parties and the drink ups and all those things. So booze cruise was one of them. And I planned it for. I think it was like Labor Day. It was like the end of summer. Booze cruise, I think, was how we build it up.
John Feitelberg
Up.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Jenna marbles game.
Jackie
Oh, yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And this girl Kim, who was like, Jenna's partner in crime, and Jenna had, like, just popped for the first time. So she was, like, at her hottest, at her most popular, and she was on the cruise, and there was a tornado, A literal tornado. It was like pouring rain. And like, you know when the sky gets, like, yellow and dark, and it was like, what the is this? Look like the apocalypse was coming, coming. And so a lot of people ended up, like, not coming, but a lot of people still did.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And I was thinking, like, if I ever had tickets to a booze cruise, they were like, I don't know, by 30 bucks. It wasn't like, a big deal. And there was a tornado warning and, like, a hurricane going on. I would just simply not go. And there was a good. A lot of people who still did.
John Feitelberg
Like, it was a good crew. It was 100 guys.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It was all guys.
John Feitelberg
It was literally Jenna and. And her friend were like. And she just started giving lap dances.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
She put a. A chair in the middle of the. There was like, a dance floor on this booze cruise, and she just started, like, lap dancing with Kim and, like, you know, putting on a show. Otherwise it would have just been like. I do remember, though, there was a girl I was hooking up with at the time, and I told her to come, and her and her friends. It would have been a good crew of, like, five or six girls. Almost would have made it worse. I think it's better than it was all dudes or, like. Or a good mix. It was just like, there's one crew girls, but they.
John Feitelberg
One crew girls with a guy just hovering around. I don't want that.
Jackie
Basically what happened to Kim or whatever where.
John Feitelberg
Because of the implication.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But they. They showed up, like, late, and we had, like, broken off the. I guess. Was that, like a marina? I don't remember where we left from, but, like, we had. We had gone and, like, they showed up and it was like, I could, like, see you, but we're not stopping the boat and turning around. They were like, from the shore, like, goodbye. Like, I'm not getting late tonight, dude.
John Feitelberg
I. I had two of my buddies come with me on that who didn't know what barstool was or anything like that. I was just like, yo, I'm going to meet this strange guy from the Internet. Will you guys come with me? And they were like an hour and a half into that boat. They were like, get me off this boat.
Jackie
Right?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I remember being like, how was it?
John Feitelberg
I was like, it was all dudes.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It was pouring rain.
John Feitelberg
You know those videos Dan referenced last episode? Like, the North Sea, the big ship. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
We were up.
John Feitelberg
It was like that. It was like, not. Not a nice day to be out on the water.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It honestly felt like I was like, on, like, a pirate ship or something. Where I was like, we need to get off this boat. Because, like, I. I borderline think Jenna and Kim might be in trouble.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like these men are going Lord of the flies another 30 minutes where they're.
John Feitelberg
Just gonna like, club was like sloshing around the floors.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But you know what I loved about that era? That booze cruise. Tin Lizzy. Tin Lizzy was the bar that I used to go to that was the most despicable bar on the planet earth. Every single time you walked in, there was already throw up in the toilet. It was like they just opened for the day. How is there already puke in the toilet? We. I remember the first time I met with the bar owners. They were like, you can kind of do whatever you want at this place. And I was like, for real? And I had my beer and I just kind of spilled it on the floor.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
He was like, yeah. And he just like fully dumped his. And I was like, whoa. And then he took one and he just smashed it on the ground. And then there was. They had a big open window. It was a window frame but no glass. Big that led out to second Avenue. He just took an empty pitcher, threw like a football right out the window. And I was like, you really can do whatever you want here. It's. It felt like international water. It was like this lawless. And at the time, those guys were probably like 29. I was like 25. And I thought of them as like businessmen. They are bar owners and businessmen come to find out that it was like, you know, one of those things where like 50 different people owned a piece of this bar and they just exclusively use it to fuck girls. Like in the office of the bar. You know, it's just like, hey, yeah, come. They made no money because they gave away all the booze and they just use it to fuck chicks. Because they were just 20 something year old guys too. And I thought of them as like, you know, businessmen. But they. We did a. We call it the Irish Truck bomb contest. There were these two guys, I think I had blogged about it and that's how it came about. Instead of doing a car bomb with a shot glass and a. And a pint glass. Yeah, it was a pint glass dropped into a pitcher. So it was a full pint glass of Bailey's and Jameson dropped into a pitcher of Guinness. And these guys can chug the whole thing in like seven seconds. Not only did they chug it, it was just like done. And so there was two guys. One guy, his commenter name was I Drink in my sleep. And the other guy was Moose, the carpet pisser. Because he would get drunk and piss on the carpet. Yeah. And we had like a showdown. And I remember it didn't. You couldn't hear it. It didn't work out well. But I had the vision of like, I had the microphone and I was in the front of the bar and I introduced them like, like boxers. It was like. And in this corner I drink in my sleep. Like I gave their stats, how big they are, where they come from. People couldn't really hear it. So it didn't like pan out the way I wanted it to. But it was a spectacle. And then it was like 3, 2, 1, go. We had again, all dudes but cameras like hovering, hovering over them, filming. And they drank it in like, you know, five seconds. Was one of the craziest things I've ever witnessed. And I just think about like those bar owners, those guys, the people who came to the booze cruise. They were, we were not big at all.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And those were the most passionate. I almost, I almost weirdly got more interest early on because there were, there were so many people in New York who were like, I love barstool. I've been reading it for years, but I'm a New York guy. And now that it's here, come to my bar. Let's do a party. Let's do an event. It almost was bigger in the beginning. And then we kind of settled in and it like subsided a little bit. But that initial reaction, it was like 09. I probably got more. I have more heat from owners and like connections and all that than maybe I ever did.
John Feitelberg
It was wild.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. There's a lot of interest early on to do like that I was able, I mean, saloon. Saloon was a business, dude. I used to make bank console. Oh my God. They would pay me a lot of money to. We, we did like a one party a month and they would do those drink ups where it was like, like, you know, $10 per hour for your open bar.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
So everybody came and so like it was good business when the Rangers made the Stanley Cup. I, I did like a full like come watch every game. The Olympics, the World cup, we did WrestleMania, we did KY Jelly wrestling parties. We did it a lot there. And they were always paying like thousands of dollars. And at that time I was like.
John Feitelberg
You still do that? Do you still do like going to bars? Games are like the more.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
Jackie
That's why Kentucky Derby parties. You do it all six goals to like create happy hours.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Honestly, what I kind of stopped doing it because I got old and, and got married and all that stuff. But like, I think there's still a very big appetite for that stuff. And barstool is at its peak right now. Like, we did guest bartending contests where we had. It was smoke shows, but it was like you, you and your hottest girlfriend para up. Yeah, it's your night. And if you make the most money, there was like a cruise or a Caribbean trip at the end. So they would make sure all their friends come. So you had like this marketing team. Every Thursday night we had beautiful girls and all of their friends, and all of my friends come. It was also easy. I again, I have a crew of like a lot of friends. So I could, I could always guarantee these bars. I was like, they'll at least be like 20 guys. You know, it won't be empty because all my friends are gonna come. But we stopped doing that stuff. I think if you're still out there doing that kind of guest bartending parties, theme parties, event like centered around events, sports, sporting events. Like I. I would imagine there are bar owners out there that would love that. It's just that we don't do that.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You know, we should do college football Saturdays at Rathbones. The 11am it would start and we would just go till midnight. It's a 12 hour affair, just eating wings and. What? It was amazing.
Jackie
Dude, is that a bar in this city?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Not anymore, but it was. Rathbones was like it's saloon.
Jackie
A bar in the city.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Not anymore. All my bars are closed or renamed. You know, like they're probably physically still there. So you got to be the next generation. Were you doing McFadden's? McFadden's? I did McFadden's personally, I didn't do parties there. What was that the one on like 43rd? Yeah, 40. It was like right by Grand Central that McFadden's was a, a very big underage drinking New York, like 15. Yes.
John Feitelberg
And.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But you were in the city, so it was like one bar. Manhattan usually is pretty tight with, with, with IDs, but there was a couple bars and McFadden's was one of them. It was McFadden's on the right side. Irish bar. And then Calico Jacks was the Mexican. It was, it was like a bizarro world. It was the same layout, but it was just like sombreros and maracas over here and shamrocks over here. But yeah.
John Feitelberg
Oh, I've actually been to this place.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
The by Grand Central. Yeah. And now it became a tester for Covid during. Oh, really? 2019. Yeah. That's funny. Yeah. McFad. And there was Silk Road and China Beer were two spots. It was like, it was something like $20, $40, whatever. It was dirt cheap. And you get a meal and you get unlimited beer at China Beer. And Silk Road was unlimited wine for two hours. It should have been illegal. It was crazy.
John Feitelberg
Golf season is in full swing and getting out there to work on your game is bound to make any day even better.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And if you're looking to improve your.
John Feitelberg
Drive, Chevy Equinox EV is the smartest.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Choice you can make.
John Feitelberg
Bold athletic styling, a commanding presence, award winning tech and impressive range, all with an affordable msrp. Chevy Equinox EV will put a smile on your face no matter how your scorecard shakes out.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It was, first of all, it was just a great like deal, right? But we also just had like zero respect for this place. Like we would roll in with a crew of like, again, a bunch of guys. And I just remember like, I have one friend who's like 6, 5. And we would get, we got so hammered. And he just got up and he was just walking around the restaurant into the kitchen, like into the places we weren't supposed to be. And he was like cheering and dancing in there. It was like Godzilla. They're like, I get out of here.
Jackie
Get out of here.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And I, I noticed how they do it. They had a huge stainless steel bowl. Like imagine the one you get like when you go to like chopped and they're making your salad. Yeah, imagine that. But just huge. And that was, the beer was in there. And they would just scoop it with the pitcher. And I was like, oh, no wonder. This is like 15 bucks for three hours or whatever.
John Feitelberg
We used to go to this place in Boston. I forget what it's called. It's not China Moon, but it was something like that.
Jackie
There's no way that's the most efficient way to get batches. Like a bunch of beer.
John Feitelberg
It seems like, I guess if you filled it up at a tap.
Jackie
But then why don't you just do it straight from the tap to.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think it was like you have.
John Feitelberg
To wait for the foam.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. They did not care. It was warm and they were just here.
John Feitelberg
We used to do China Moon, which, because Boston, everything closes at one and you could go there after and they would bring you drinks, but they would bring it in like a Sprite can. And so like it would be like three in the morning. We'd be at this Chinese place. Hammered. Everyone holding up like juice boxes just because they'd fill them out in the back for you. Like, you'd scan the restaurant, you'd be like, no one would come in here and believe for a single second that everyone in this room isn't fucking shit faced right now.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Bringing apple juice, man. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
It's 3 o' clock in the morning. We're eating Chinese food. It's not. We're hammered. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
There's no other option there.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. You should do it though.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I. I've thought like, like, I think.
Jackie
I'm too old at this point.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
How old are you?
Jackie
26.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
That's when I started bar.
Jackie
Oh, really?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yes. I was 26 when I started. And then it took a couple years to like get going with the parties.
John Feitelberg
Right at the age.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, the party dies younger nowadays though.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, party does die younger.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, like from 21 to 25, you're allowed to be an and like run around in New York City. 26 to 30. At least what I've seen from my older siblings or my older sister. Why are you guys so gay about it? I don't know.
Jackie
Just keep going.
John Feitelberg
I. I heard that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I was about to say I'm mad at myself for like. I kind of gave up on that because I was like, all right, I gotta settle down. I'm gonna get married. I'm gonna be like an adult. And I was like that I should have kept going. It was so much fun at the time.
John Feitelberg
I, I kind of believe, particularly in New York City. New York City, you get an extra 10 years.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, you really could.
John Feitelberg
New York city, like early 30s is as far as far as I'm concerned, or as far as I care, like early 30s, you're still fine.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think that you have probably. I think you have 15 years of drinking, partying before you pivot a little bit. Like you can be a lifelong bachelor and party till you're whatever, you know, you can keep going. But I think, like, I started drinking when I was like 16. Like, I started pretty early. And by the time I was like 30, I was like, I'm. I'm running out of gas here, you know? And I, I kept doing it, but it was sort of just like, I've done this 50 billion times. I've gone to bars and just. I've done this forever. And I wonder like, if I started when I was 21 of legal age, if I would have gone to like 35 or whatever, you know? I feel like you kind of have. It's like it's almost like. Like in the NBA, I remember people being like. Like, you know Kobe and Kevin Garnett. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They. Yeah, they're only 28, but they already have a decade under their belt, so. But yeah, like, if you're stopping when you're like 25, I feel like city.
John Feitelberg
Living is like how they talk about rich people, where it's like, rich 50 is poor 30 or whatever they say.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, yeah.
John Feitelberg
Like, city 40 is poor 30.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It's like 30 is the new 20s.
John Feitelberg
Like, he's rural there, there. Like you. You grow up faster outside of the city, I think, because you. You have a lot more responsibility.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
You're in a bubble of just drinking and.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
In New York City, but, like, stay in that bubble.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Right.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
There's no reason to leave it.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And I feel like part of the reason why maybe is I don't see. Maybe I'm out of touch. I don't know. But I used to be like, the. I would bring the party. Like, all my friends would be like, where's the barstool party? Yeah.
John Feitelberg
If.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
If someone like barstool was doing that, I think people will keep going. One.
Jackie
Yeah. Should we take on the legacy?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Let's do it, Jack.
John Feitelberg
Come on.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I mean, we.
Jackie
Is there any party. We had some pretty good stow on Pavs and I.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
What's up?
Jackie
Is there any partying wisdom you'd like.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
To bestow on party business or partying? Like, just partying?
Jackie
Oh, just like wisdom. Parting wisdom.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, parting. Like in general, to wrap up the whole thing right now.
Jackie
No, no, no, no.
John Feitelberg
Just.
Jackie
I'm saying, like. I'm saying, like, you know, like, we'll. We'll try and take on the legacy of.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
But are you talking about specifically doing events and parties or just in general?
Jackie
I don't really know.
John Feitelberg
Say events and parties. Talk to him. Like, I didn't really. I kind of.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Ask your dog, Jackie. No, but I mean, I just. Thinking like, again, I remember Bud Light gave us like 30 grand for like five or six parties. And at the time, I was like, over the moon to get five grand a party, you know? And I feel like that was back then when we were nothing.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And like, you talk to the right brands, liquor brands, drinks, spots. Like. Like, you find some of those bars that are not just one off mom and pop spots. They're like a hospitality group.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
And you'd be like, I'll do one party at 13th step and then down the hatch and then stumble in. You have like a 10 party pack. You can make some money doing that.
Jackie
There was a bar that reached out to me that was like, we'll do an hour open bar with seven up to 75 people. And I was like, oh, if I just invite, Invite, like the company.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. Well, I, I, I do think that, like, tables and, and bottles kind of ruined what, like, what I did was like, we have a dollar beers night, and we never dollar beers, but it was like a Bud Light special. It was always like 25 cent wing night. It was very much like beer wings, sports, girls partying, not like, bottles, pictures, Ace of Spades club. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, that's where social life kind of went. So what I used to do kind of fell by the wayside. But I also think that, A, there's like a nostalgia coming back around where people want to do that stuff stuff. And B, that is better and more fun. So just do it and, like, be the pied piper. Make the people come with you and be like, we're not doing that. We're doing this.
Jackie
I don't know if I have that dog. Let's do it.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Come on. When you guys go out, what do you do? What kind of vibe? Like, is it a bar or is it like a lounge? Is it a club? Is it bottles? Is it a bar in a club at all times? It's like elevated sports bars. Yeah, that was, that was new for us. Yeah, bounce was like, new. When I was partying, we, we. I had to deal with one called Hype Lounge. That was the first, at least as I understood it, like, or I lived it, the first time that was happening, and that was like, so hot in the streets because it was like, I could still watch the game, but now the girls are dressed up and there's, you know, like, a sexiness to it. But then it very quickly became like, this is so lame. And I can't imagine, 15 years later, it must be like, well, do you have to have a table? If you don't have a table, you get a table. You'd buy 20 of your clothes. Closest friends, 10 girls, 10 guys. And like, you guys watch a game together and it's packed. You can't move and go get a drink, so you get them delivered. There's really the, the bar scene in New York City. And I mean, I don't, I'm not crazy part of you. So maybe I'm wrong on this. It is a little, it's became a little cringy. I don't know. Yeah, I feel like, I mean, I was on the Upper east side. It also depends on what neighborhood you're in. Yeah, definitely. When I was in East Village, I was having a blast.
John Feitelberg
I did.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I've done that so many times. I just feel like there. It used to be, we could go up and down second or third Avenue, and there was an Irish pub here and a sports bar there. And then a little bit of, like, a. Oh, that's a martini bar, wine bar. There's like, a lot of choices, and we did all of them, and now it seems like everything is kind of like, get a table and bottles. Yeah.
Jackie
I feel like my life consists of, like, birthday parties.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Birthday parties. That's what it is.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Just. Anyway, I. I think you should lead the revolution and make barstool. Make barstool party again.
Jackie
Okay.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
We had a lot of fun doing that.
Jackie
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
I don't know what happened with that, with the Internet. Keith was explaining that to me. She was like. She's like, the Internet thinks drinking's lame now. Drinking is the best thing in the world.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Drinking's awesome.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah. Everybody started micro dusting, dosing, like ketamine, and it's like, just drink a beer, man.
Jackie
No, I've always.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I think I'm addicted to Guinness. I really.
John Feitelberg
Absolutely.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I've never thought I had a drinking problem my entire life. But, like, I walk past a bar, I'm like.
John Feitelberg
I used to call, like, the Gauntlet.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, walking home from the subway. The bars would just, like, whisper in your ear, like, come, have one drink.
John Feitelberg
Particularly in the winter. Because in the winter, there is this. There is this thing about drinking in the winter when you're like this. Particularly if you're going to the right bar, like, saloon doors or like.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yes.
John Feitelberg
Where you're like, it's us in here versus the elements out there. It's freezing. It's gonna snow tonight. Let's have a thousand beers and have a good time. Winter drinking is the best.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It feels like nothing matters. It feels like that. Whatever. Yeah. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Hopefully you're in a fireplace.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Missing anything outside. Might as well stay in here.
John Feitelberg
Yes. Yeah. There's a fireplace in the corner.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, so good.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, that's cool.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Table. If there's a pool table, I'll forget it.
Jackie
When you're, like, a little hungry, too, and you know that you're gonna get somebody.
John Feitelberg
The weather adds such a sense, I think. I think people down south, I know they drink. I know people don't. They know how to drink.
Jackie
Drink.
John Feitelberg
There's a difference in cold weather drinking.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
There's just something.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It's a battle.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. It's like you. There's a. There's a real team feeling to it. Yeah, I'm a big camaraderie guy in a bar on a cold night.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Especially in New York, like, in summertime, most people are at the Hamptons, the Jersey shore, the cities, actually. There's. There's Summer drinking is fun in New York, too, in a very different way. But I. I remember living in Hoboken, dude. You know, they say Hoboken has, like. Like as many bars as. As Bourbon Street. It's like, per.
John Feitelberg
I didn't know that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
It's like, per square foot. There's more bars in Hoboken, like, anywhere in the world. And that's, like, the whole stretch of Hoboken. But uptown Hoboken is. Is where, like, families start to live. So there's, like, a bar here, a restaurant there. So they're all crammed into downtown. So when you get off the path, if you live in Hoboken, you have to walk past, like, 30 bars, and they're all like. Like, the fun bars. And it's all. It's borderline. I used to be, like, either hungover or broke or tired, and I would be like, I have to just walk home. Just walk off. Just like, keep your head down and just walk. And a bar.
John Feitelberg
Hey, what's up, man?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
A bartender says something, somebody. It's like, I'm. I'm. I'm going in there.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, like. Like in Newport. So you're walking down the street, and it's just like, five bartenders, like, John, you want to come have one?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Of course I do.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
What do you expect?
John Feitelberg
Yeah, it's not even. And I wouldn't even, like, go it. Honestly, for me, it wasn't even alcohol. It was just like, someone wants to hang out.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just have a beer. I know. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Yes. You like me. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
All right. Ah, the good old days.
Jackie
There's a company party tonight.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Are you going to that?
Jackie
I can't. It's my sister's birthday.
John Feitelberg
Is it like, I thought tomorrow night was the party?
Jackie
That's pop punk. So there's, like, technically two parties in a row.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, that.
John Feitelberg
But, like, I just thought. I didn't know they were two different things. Where is the party tonight? Believe it's south.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
We did here. We did there last year.
John Feitelberg
Tonight. Yeah. Show up tonight if you want.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Take the torch and run with it. Start. Start a telepathy dog podcast and start parties. And you can just be the new John and Kevin. Yeah, it's a young man's game. We're out of it, bro.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, I actually got a rash this morning.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Morning? What, bro? I got bats in my house. You got rats.
John Feitelberg
I never have skin. We are washed up, dude. I never have skin. And I was like, this morning, I was like, I guess you can't really see, but I don't know. I, I. It just. It's like I got.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Is that a big scar on your.
John Feitelberg
I got an itchy leg.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Is that a man. What is that?
John Feitelberg
What, that looks like a muscle.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
No, no, no. Like, there's like a.
John Feitelberg
Honestly, I think I was flexing me.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, that's weird. But it looks like a tendon almost. Yeah, like, when I flex that, it's like, the whole thing. Yours is, like, a little weird one, too. Maybe it's just people with muscles.
John Feitelberg
Like, what is that?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Like, it's a muscle in the human body. Try it sometime.
John Feitelberg
They're pretty cool, dude. You might want to mix one in.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
At some point in your life.
John Feitelberg
What did you. What did you think it was?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Looks like a. At first. Looked like a scar. Like a long scar. You guys got weird shins.
Jackie
I have a rash, too, if it makes you feel.
John Feitelberg
What is wrong with you?
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
All right, penultimate in the books. This is it. One more to go.
Jackie
Next one. I'm gonna make you guys, like, focus. I'm gonna keep you guys on track.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yeah, we probably didn't need a half hour of pluribus talk.
John Feitelberg
I don't know why that.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
I know.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Next one will be fully reminiscing. Wrap it all up with a bow, put in the books.
Jackie
Yeah, we'll go through old clips, and then I'll force you guys to, like, get sentimental with each other.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Yep. All right, buckle up. One more to go.
John Feitelberg
Black.
Kevin Clancy (KFC)
Oh, no, no, no, no. Yeah, we should wear. We should wear all white. We should wear, like, like, white on white on white suits. Yeah, yeah, no, it'll be a good one. End of the road, next Tuesday, right before the holidays and. Sorry. God damn. We'll call it a day. See you guys on Tuesday. For the last time ever, Sa.
Date: December 18, 2025
Hosts: Kevin Clancy (KFC), John Feitelberg, Jackie
Podcast: KFC Radio, Barstool Sports
In the penultimate episode of KFC Radio, KFC, Feitelberg, and Jackie embark on a loosely structured but deeply nostalgic conversation, reflecting on the evolution of the show, their dynamics, and moments that defined both their personal and professional lives. Interspersed with their trademark absurd hypotheticals and wild listener voicemails, the episode meanders through hilarious anecdotes, honest introspection on podcasting and life at Barstool, and a genuinely candid unpacking of friendships, competition, and legacy. The hosts also explore why sleepovers should make a comeback for adult men and descend into absurd territory with Jackie's musings on telepathy—among other classic tangents.
(01:32–02:27)
“The penultimate episode is... the episode before the final episode of a series. For whatever reason, that’s when the battle happens, and the final episode is like the wrap-up.” – KFC (01:38)
(02:27–05:02)
“That’s what John does, man. Drinking water, giggling, eating chocolate in bed, and lifting.” – KFC (04:44)
(05:56–08:57)
“At that time, I was still a blogger in my head... I didn’t think KFC Radio was a job.” – Feitelberg (06:26)
(09:23–11:08)
“Me and John actually do... better when Dan’s not there. Because this iteration, me and you, is when we started to talk.” – KFC (08:57)
(11:36–12:38)
“It really, like, took me out of my life and into yours.” – Jackie (11:37)
(13:02–15:53)
“That... is the bricks of the foundation upon which the show was built.” – KFC (14:22)
(15:53–19:07)
“Pluribus is ungodly slow... but when she decides to die, that doesn’t happen if everything’s cut down... That scene’s insane, huh?” – Feitelberg (15:58)
(20:03–22:15; 21:26–22:16)
“Intrusive thoughts, sometimes they win.” – Jackie (21:53)
(22:47–23:45)
“You know what you should do... That’s the best way to give advice when you don’t have advice.” – Feitelberg (22:47)
(47:32–52:05)
“I just want my bros to come over and hang out... but you can’t, you’re gay and weird if you do that, right?” – KFC (48:02)
(33:04–44:26)
“I did have a time when I had telepathy with my dog... Just trust me, like, I know this was telepathy.” – Jackie (44:20)
(60:05–64:39)
“That bat now owns that half of my house until further notice.” – KFC (62:44)
(65:12–87:16)
“Everyone wants to come on our shows to get the cosign... and we just never do that for each other.” – KFC (76:29)
(98:58–108:52)
“Drinking’s awesome. Everybody started microdosing instead. Just drink a beer, man.” – KFC (114:16)
(117:39–119:15)
“All right, penultimate in the books. This is it. One more to go.” – KFC (118:42)
Loose, raw, and meandering barroom conversation mixed with sharp, honest self-analysis and a relentless willingness to veer into the absurd. This episode perfectly encapsulates the KFC Radio ethos: banter that is both dumb and unexpectedly profound; complete with off-the-walls tangents, no-holds-barred self-deprecation, and the ritual of breaking down (and building back up) the mundane and the meaningful in friendship, work, and life.
The penultimate KFC Radio episode is a pure encapsulation of why the show has mattered to listeners for so long. It’s at once nostalgic, self-deprecating, wildly unserious, and shockingly touching—a long-form snapshot of a flagship podcast (and true Barstool cultural artifact) coming to terms with its influence, its quirks, and the bittersweet inevitability of moving on. If you’ve ever been part of the KFC Radio ride, this one is mandatory listening. And if you’re new? This episode is a crash course in what made it special.
