Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. What Was KFC Radio, Really?

• The Show About Nothing—and Everything
  • KFC: “It’s the Seinfeld of podcasts… Like, if you talk about everything on your podcast, you talk about nothing on your podcast.” (02:27)
  • Ultimately, the show's “non-niche” identity was both its biggest challenge and defining strength, being “about our lives, but so relatable to so many people.” (03:24)
• Eras, Pivots & Growth
  • They recall the show's numerous format changes, producer swaps, and stylistic shifts, describing “eight distinct eras” across 15 years. (06:32)
  • Feits: “We pivoted a lot… out of pivots!” (07:00)
• Relatability as the Golden Thread
  • KFC emphasizes that relatability—growing, aging, and evolving alongside their audience—remained at the heart of KFC Radio. (08:11)
  • “Relatability ages with you and your audience… We stayed relatable because they were doing that transition.” (08:48)
• Universal Human Experience
  • John: “We’re all the same people… Even down to the little quirky things about how do you go to the bathroom… those dumb things are what fuel humankind.” (04:22)

---

2. Best Moments, Running Bits & Listener Impact

• Listener Demographics (and Myths)
  • Legendary moment when sales told them that “21% of the audience was black,” which led to endless jokes.
    • John: “You guys got a large black audience at Barstool Sports. Really? Are you sure about that?” (09:43)
• Legacy Voicemails & Hypotheticals
  • The core of KFC Radio’s content were wild, sincere, or ridiculous listener voicemails—“the lifeblood of the show.”
  • Classic hypotheticals: microwave a baby for $10K, can you take over the world with a tank in 1200 AD, and “oldest age you could beat up every one of.” (116:02)
• Ridiculous Yet‘Relatable’ Anecdotes
  • Banter about bathroom habits, “gape gloves,” “banana cigarette breaks,” the saga of “Bookman,” and Jackie’s fin-dom (financial domination) era—these became inside jokes for diehards.
• Notable Early Clips
  • KFC recalls moments like the "Action Bronson fight debate" and the infamous “cum girl” caller—now podcast lore.
    • “We literally fell out of our chairs…” (112:04)

---

3. Personal Evolution, Chemistry & Teamwork

• Emotional Farewell & Partnership
  • KFC: “It’s a cool thing to be able to do with your family… Not many people get to do something like this with their brother.” (87:00)
  • No behind-the-scenes drama or beef: “I don’t think I’ve ever even been frustrated with you. It’s always just been really easy.” (139:18)
• Producer & Team Appreciation
  • Much gratitude for producers Jackie, Pavs, Nick Hamilton, and all previous staffers, noting how vital new energy and chemistry were, especially in later years.
  • “You both are very passionate and good at what you do… having someone hands-on was so important.” (130:50)
• Outgrowing & Aging with the Show
  • Realness about growing up on the mic, both in life and career.
  • “You could tell me… that it would take months or decades to eat a grocery store and I’d be like, okay.” (120:54)

---

4. What’s Next? Future Plans

• Feitelberg’s New Path
  • Scene Stealers: Focused on acting/content about acting, with big guests lined up, on the Out of Order network.
    • KFC: “You are about to absolutely hit the ground running with Scene Stealers… you’ve found your lane.” (25:29)
• KFC’s Next Act
  • Plans to expand One Minute Man into a YouTube-focused, long-form vehicle and launch an interview series—a more focused, business-minded approach but keeping the core energy.
    • “I’ve already done it, man. I’m doing it… The most popular thing I’ve ever done is currently happening.” (55:16)
• No “Job” Regrets
  • Both hosts share no real regrets, only minor what-ifs—such as not committing harder to touring or focusing earlier on YouTube—but affirm their pride and gratitude for the journey.
    • Feits: “I haven’t had a job my whole life. How can you have a regret when you don’t have a job?” (129:15)

Tone & Takeaways

• Unfiltered, Self-Deprecating, Affectionate:
  No false heroics—a balance of heartfelt gratitude and characteristic goofball humor. The hosts are just as willing to cry on mic as to crack a gross joke.
• Community Focused:
  Emphasized over and over: the show belonged as much to the audience as it did to them.
  • “They grew up with us, we grew up with them.” (85:33)
• A Love Letter to Honest Conversation:
  The hosts and producers express that it was the freedom to be real—about relationships, success, embarrassment, even addiction or grief—that kept them (and their audience) coming back.
• No Regrets, Just Gratitude:
  In the end, it wasn’t the biggest guests or the best-run business that made the show special. It was the ability to joke about the worst in life, share the best, and know someone on the other end was with them for the ride.

---

Final Words

“I love you guys. I truly love you all… The people in this room more than the people listening, to be honest, but it is listeners as well.”
—John Clancy (140:41)

“Thank you guys. That feeling is mutual. It was fun. It was a great ride.”
—Kevin Clancy (138:08)

For longtime Stoolies and new listeners alike, this last episode is both a nostalgic celebration and a fitting, humble close to an era in internet radio.

[Kevin Clancy]

Swing by and visit Cracker Barrel today. So y' all know that we're big fans of Cracker Barrel. And this holiday season I will be sat at their table with a big plate of country fried turkey.

[Kevin Clancy]

And Brandon, I'll be right there with you and I'll check it off my Christmas list in the country store while I'm at it. It'll make a nice holiday tradition.

[John Clancy]

Oh, that's so cute of you.

[Kevin Clancy]

Enjoy all the more holiday traditions only at Cracker Barrel. Good to go. All right. It is the final edition of KFC Radio on the Barstool Sports Network. This is it.

[John Clancy]

How you feel?

[Kevin Clancy]

I. I think I feel okay. Do you think over. Under. Over. Under a half. A half point five people crying on the show today? Yeah.

[John Clancy]

I didn't know how I like this grid of fans tells me it's gonna be high over. You think it's on me? I don't know. But I also might just jump on, be like, hey, how do you. Isn't that the beauty of this podcast? Like, yeah, it could go one way or the other. We might not end up talking about like anything. I'm talking about poop. Who knows?

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't know.

[John Clancy]

That's kind of the beauty, the, the.

[Kevin Clancy]

Gift and the curse of this show is that it is that kind of show where like, I, I wonder what it's like from a fan point of view. Cuz vast majority of the time it was jokes and around and having fun. But like, if you are tuning in on a random episode thinking, oh, this is like my, my pooping podcast. And then like, I don't know, there's times I'm talking about like my divorce or your mental health or the scandals and the drama. Like, you never really know what you were going to get when you tune into the show.

[John Clancy]

I know, right? Fifteen years in, we're done. It's over. We can finally wrap up what this show was about. Don't have a clue. No idea. You look back and be like, all right, we talked about. We can. Let's think. What was it about?

[Jackie]

I.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's the Seinfeld of podcast. Like, I, It's. It's also a little bit like if you have two Quarterbacks, you have none. It's like if you talk about everything on your podcast, you talk about nothing on your podcast. And that's always been.

[John Clancy]

I think it was. Sorry I didn't get this out. I started taking a sip of water, which by the way, I'm not going to pee the whole episode today.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, John peed. We're recording this a little early. It's a little after 10 o'. Clock. He peed at 9:55 and then like 10:15, which in and of itself is crazy. And now we're going to try to make it like an hour and a half. And I will take, I'll take action on that. You are, you are going to the bathroom.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, but it might be in that bottle. And I think that counts as staying on the show.

[Kevin Clancy]

The final act is we actually, you actually show how, literally how we don't talk about it, we just do it.

[John Clancy]

But the, what I was gonna say is I think that was the beauty of the show and that it's. I, I would like, honestly, I'm like, oh, I don't know what it's about. The show is about us.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's about our lives.

[John Clancy]

Like that was. Yeah, it's just like a running diary.

[Kevin Clancy]

And that for better or worse, like it was from a business point of view and a sales point of view and promotion point of view and distribution. All that, all the logistical stuff. It, it was, it was probably a mess. You know, like sales people always said they didn't know how to pitch it and you know, what category should we be in and what should our like the name and the titles be? All that stuff. I don't care. Yeah, like, and as, and as much as it is like a running diary of our lives, I, I at least hope it didn't come across as like a self centered thing where it's just like, oh, those guys are just sitting there talking about themselves. Because I feel like what, what it is is our lives, but so relatable to so many people that it's like a shared experience, you know? Yeah.

[John Clancy]

Is that any kind of like storytelling? It is like, yeah, it's technically it's about our lives, but really it's about pretty vague life.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's the royal hour. It is funny to find out. And this is something I learned on the Internet in general, but then very much through this podcast as well. We're all the same people.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like we all have. Even down to the little quirky things about how do you go to the bathroom? Or like, do you pour the Milk in or the chocolate first or like those dumb things are what like fuels humankind.

[John Clancy]

Dude, there are all we talk about. I've said it on the show before. I, I strongly. It's one of the strongest things I believe in is like the psychological. I don't know if it's a theory or if it's just fact, honestly, but like that there are 16 kinds of people.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, is that a thing?

[John Clancy]

There's 16 kinds of people.

[Kevin Clancy]

I, I would, I maybe would take the under on that.

[John Clancy]

It's. It's like you go through and you're like, yep. And that's one.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's one.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, I know that type. I know that guy. I know that guy. And you go, yeah, they're probably. There aren't really many more.

[Kevin Clancy]

You take 8 billion people, split them up into 16 groups and that's it. Yeah, I'd be funny though if like, I'm sure that has changed over the years or is this like all time? I think this is.

[John Clancy]

I'm gonna pull it up right real quick. I don't know, like the, the real.

[Kevin Clancy]

I wonder if with technology and like, you know, the, the just the evolution of society and people if, if all of a sudden they like, you know, some scientific group could be like new person dropped.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, 17. We got it.

[Kevin Clancy]

We got a new group of people. It's all like, let's see the, the Myers Brie. Oh, I've heard of the mine.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, I've heard of Myers Briggs too. Okay. So yeah, dude, I'm smart.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, you're so smart, bro.

[John Clancy]

This is basically.

[Kevin Clancy]

We're the modern day philosophers, bro. You're like, you're like, you're like a doctor. You're like a scientist. Can you pull up that chart? Because to me it just looks like a whole bunch of letters. But man, just the woat to ever do it on Google, bro. At an angle right now. That's why you don't know how to use the most popular sear engine of all time. Oh my. What are you doing? What are you. What are you doing? It's. This thing's a disaster. Why, why are you in like the finder though? Can't you just open up the picture? Because when I clicked on it, it brought me to a, to a bad place. I would ordinarily, I would say like, all right, we'll clean this up in the edit. Leave it all in. Cuz that's another thing about the, the this show is that it is just from day one to day, you know, 5,000. It's just been cobbled together.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's been a ride of producers and hosts and styles and content that is just like if, really, if you listen to. It's probably like four or five. I think we actually said maybe if you wanted to like eight distinct eras of the show and they're all very different. You know, like, like if you listen to, if you just listen to a couple episodes from the beginning and a couple episodes in the middle and a couple episodes the end, you'd be like, those are different shows.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. Oh God.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know, those are different.

[John Clancy]

Which like Dan addressed too. Dan, like kind of touched on. We all talked about it a little bit. We're like, yeah, we pivoted a lot.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Out of pivots.

[John Clancy]

You got a pivot. Yeah, out of pivots.

[Kevin Clancy]

Now it's fun pivoting to a new thing. This, this chart is actually way more. It's very.

[John Clancy]

No, it's a pretty in detail thing. Oh yeah. There are about 16 kinds of people.

[Kevin Clancy]

But that's, I, I think we have like reached all 16 in, in this show. There's been something for everybody. And it's funny because like, I remember I, I, I think there's kind of like a three legged stool of, of, of being a content creator, if you will. It's like. And I think relatability is one of the big ones. Yeah, I think there's like relatability, like informational, like education, like I'm, I'm giving you something. You know what I mean? And then just like sheer talent, funniness. You know what I mean?

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I think those are the three. You know, you have some more than others, but you got to have like.

[John Clancy]

A little bit of like, like the QB or QB is like anyone in.

[Kevin Clancy]

The draft does it. Yes. You move this. Yeah, it kind of changes. Yeah. And I think relatability is, is probably our greatest strength in. And it's weird that. So what I was gonna say is when I started, I felt, I felt that because it was like, especially when I was still working a regular job and living a regular life. It was like, I am like, you guys.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Truly, you know, like I can talk about my 9 to 5 and I'm in the cubes and I have a boss and I, I'm broke and I'm living with my friends and you know, all that stuff. And then, but much like when people almost get worried about like, oh, if I get sober, I won't be funny or something, that I was thinking like, do, do we lose that Relatability. When you get some money or when you, when this becomes a 10,000 square foot building instead of, you know, working out of your, your, your apartment or you get wife and kids, you get older, all that stuff. And it just, I was a good lesson in that, like, relatability ages with you.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And your audience. I guess if you're, if you wanted, if we wanted to stay very young, we probably lost our relatability. But with our audience, I think we always stayed relatable because they were doing that transition.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And maybe not. I mean, listen, not everyone ended up working at a big media company or making certain amounts of money, but throughout it all, we stay relatable, you know, even despite those changes.

[John Clancy]

I would think so.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. I hope so.

[John Clancy]

Stayed white. With our audience. That means we're batting 100%, baby.

[Kevin Clancy]

Man, I will say I, I. It's been very hard for me to try to, like, make a list or a top a Mount Rushmore or something of, like, these are the funniest moments. These are the best things. Whatever. I will say that one time that the, that the business people try to tell us that 20% of our audience was black is way up there. That's a.

[John Clancy]

You guys got a large black audience of Arsenal Sports. Really? Are you sure about that?

[Kevin Clancy]

I will, like, I will say that I, I think Action Bronson has had more legs and more like, moment than I realized. Like, everyone's been talking about that and we've mentioned it a few times.

[John Clancy]

Dude, what did I watch last night where I saw him? He's in a movie last night playing a tough guy. And I was like, 12 hours ago, I told my hide to fight this guy. It's, it's, it's. Oh, it's caught stealing. Which I turned off 10 minutes in because I knew I was gonna fucking love it. And I just didn't have time to fully watch it.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[John Clancy]

But yeah, he was like, in the first 10 minutes of cost.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, it's like, yeah, they were casting this guy as, like, a mob boss or a gangster or a henchman.

[John Clancy]

We were like, who would win in a fight?

[Kevin Clancy]

But like, that, that one almost surprised me that I was like, oh, wow. People, like, really remember that and really like that and really laugh about that and talk about that. So some, some things, you know, I knew were a big deal and other things, like, jumped out of me is like, oh, wow. But that one might be a deeper cut that it's probably funnier to us than, Than other people because we lived it. But yeah, we Sat down once with our. And they. It was like a PowerPoint deck, like a presentation, like presenting us. Like, here's what we're going to present to brands and sponsors. And it had all of our, all of our demographics and everything. And they said that 21 of our audience was black. And the jokes that were flying that day, people were like, 21.

[John Clancy]

I thought it was 13.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, no, it's 21. Because I remember people going, do you mean 21 people? Like, there's 21 black people total that listen to this. And I also remember leading up to that, I loved all the other stats. It was like high net worth, disposable income, educated. And I was like, oh, wow. And I was like, well, now I have to throw all of these out. Yeah, that's clearly not true. But you know, shout out to the, the obs, the original black stoolies. There's a few of those guys out there that are like some of our most die hard supporters.

[John Clancy]

He's probably with the boys in Newport a little bit.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you know, from frat boys to like moms to probably now, like grandmas and grandpas are probably like some young, young grandma and grandpas.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, probably like, I guess statistically speaking.

[Kevin Clancy]

The, the amount of people, like, is just such a long amount of time that, you know, when people, like I started watching when I was 15 and now I have like a wife and kids. That's crazy. And so probably very few. But like early on we probably had some like 45 year olds tuning in.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And we're now 60 and like dead now.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, we got some guys who died for sure along the way.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's actually a funny.

[John Clancy]

We got some people who died of old age.

[Kevin Clancy]

That, that, that might be my new barometer for like, can you even, like, do you even belong in the conversation with me? Have any of your fans died?

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And not tragically of old age. Have you had, have you, have you had a big enough demo that you have old listeners and then been around long enough that they have died of old age?

[John Clancy]

Because I think so. Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

I would probably not put it this way, but I would hope so.

[John Clancy]

A handful, A handful of people who.

[Kevin Clancy]

Are like, it would probably be a little bit tragic.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like I had like a 85 year old who started listening when they were 60.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. I doubt that you probably had someone in their 50s.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Like, and then it's like, oh, he died like a little early. Yeah.

[John Clancy]

But they're like, yeah, he was fucking. Treated his body like you know what I mean? He's like, so. He used to eat, put on £5 every Thanksgiving. You don't work it off. It's £50 in 10 years. Look what happens.

[Kevin Clancy]

I. I hope sincerely that some of our viewers have died of old age.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. I really mean that, dude. By the way, I don't know why me just saying that made me think of Rico Bosco.

[Kevin Clancy]

I was about to say that that was very Rico.

[John Clancy]

You put on five pounds, everything's giving. I was trying to do like a little Italian. You nailed it.

[Kevin Clancy]

I was gonna say Rico basco.

[John Clancy]

And that probably is stuck in my head. Cuz Rico. I took the train with Rico yesterday to the holiday party. Rico was doing a bit the entire car.

[Kevin Clancy]

Rico's been doing a bit for his entire life.

[John Clancy]

Like he was yelling it like to the point where we were like, he's doing a routine for the whole car. Like it was. It was. I never seen anything like it. What was he saying? Talking about, guys, empty suits are gonna be at the Christmas party. Ducking me all the time. He goes, I gotta get him in the corner this time at least.

[Kevin Clancy]

I saw Jack McCarthy's tweet. He's like, rumor has it that Rico has cornered the sales team and like won't let him go.

[John Clancy]

Did he do that? I didn't see that. But that's what he was talking about on the way down.

[Kevin Clancy]

I just ran into now. He goes, yo, when did bars in New York stop closing at 4am? And I. I got mixed up. I was like, it's always been 4:00am he's like, no, no, they don't close that for anymore. Now it's 2:00am and the. And the rest of the gang was like, it was a Wednesday night, dude. Like, they just shut it down early. It's not like a Friday or Saturday. He's like, nah, even in Staten island they don't do that anymore. I'm like, good.

[John Clancy]

Every bar doesn't stay open till 4am every night.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[John Clancy]

Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's like you could if they need to or want to, but they don't have to.

[John Clancy]

But the death of New York.

[Kevin Clancy]

So where are we at? I guess we'll do some reminiscing, but we have some clips and some voicemails, you know, we've been doing. I think we actually really nailed the appropriate amount of farewell.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know, I think we've said it all. Probably have some sentimental moments now. But I'm. But I'm done. Like, I got it all out. I think another episode of us Just being like, so we're ending too much and anything less than that, I feel like we wouldn't have got it all out. But it looks like I think you're pretty right.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. I actually agree with that. Yeah. There was the proper.

[Kevin Clancy]

Proper time.

[John Clancy]

A month worked.

[Kevin Clancy]

And in case you. Radio. Classic case, radio fashion. I had. I had grander visions of it bringing back all these guests and maybe doing some more formal stuff. Like, we always used to try to plan segments and bits, and then we just fall back into, like, you and me talking.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And that's okay, too. Like, I would have loved to, like, fly Bert Kreischer in and have Chris DiStefano in and some of our big A list return or send a voicemail or whatever, and. But it's kind of appropriate at the end. The end. It's like, I'm happy we got Dan back in here. I wanted to get ASA in. I tried my hardest, but it wasn't in the cards. But other than that, I. I'm happy that it's just. Just us. Down to the very.

[John Clancy]

Probably officially declined when she saw Nate's clip. That's a little.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean, I. I guess I had chemistry there. I don't know how you felt. I felt like I had chemistry with her. I don't know if it, like, totally clicked on the show, but I also.

[John Clancy]

Think I feel like I. I feel a great chemistry. Not great.

[Kevin Clancy]

I didn't watch you, but like, for you.

[John Clancy]

But like, I. I certainly.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's why. Why we did it in the first place was I had just interviewed her on mail time and it was like a fire episode and everyone loved it. Also because she's a super hot, legendary porn star.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Which again, you know, I. I think I like to think that we were ahead of our. Ahead of the curve on quite a few things. And I remember doing that show with Assa, and, you know, it was probably more from, like, the haters who were always looking for something to. To nitpick or hate on us for, but it. There was a decent amount. People be like, this is like, so crass. And you're just talking about sex and all that stuff. And then like, I don't know, a few years later, max, like a couple years later, that is like what took over the Internet, you know?

[John Clancy]

Now I don't even remember that being that sexual. I obviously have no idea. But, like, it wasn't like we had.

[Kevin Clancy]

Radio knock in general. It's like. But to me, it was like, we talk about everything and sex is going to Be in there, and there's still people out there who, like, clutch their pearls. Every time we made, like, a sex joke. To me, I almost think it's weirder if you can't, like, I can joke about it because I just think it's like, a part of life.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

If that jumps out at you and you're like, whoa, what is that? Or like, oh, one way or the other, if you love it so much or you hate it so much, like, I think you have a weird thing with sex.

[John Clancy]

We certainly talked about sex, but I never considered us, like, a sex podcast again. I understand how having ASA here on the show.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[John Clancy]

Makes people think that. But if you listen to the show, I don't think it wasn't like, yo.

[Kevin Clancy]

Welcome to our sex podcast.

[John Clancy]

Hey, talk about getting our dick sucked. Obviously, you love getting in the ass. What's that like? You know what I mean?

[Kevin Clancy]

Right?

[John Clancy]

But.

[Kevin Clancy]

But looking at, you know, just, like, the caller daddy revolution and, like, you know, having a. A, like, sex positive female on a podcast is, like, the blueprint. And, you know, we were a little ahead of the curve, and I. I. That felt very Marty McFly at the Enchantment under the Sea dance when he plays Johnny B. Goode and he's like, you guys aren't ready for this, but your kids are gon. That was ASA on KFC radio. They're just searching gape right now. I got this one on. I got this one a lot. Everyone wants to watch a game when.

[John Clancy]

When your producers are searching through content with the word gape.

[Kevin Clancy]

Maybe we are.

[John Clancy]

Look at my face. We talked about porn. Sometimes we watch porn. Right? It just is.

[Kevin Clancy]

But. But here's the thing. You searched. You searched for gape. We look at my face. And Mike Adriano was in the subtitles. We might have been a little too deep on that one. Do we have the agape gloves?

[John Clancy]

There they are.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's a miracle they lasted that long. That's great, dude.

[John Clancy]

The agape gloves.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Like, that was. That was one of my favorite parts of the sex stuff, though, when we did do sex stuff to get on.

[John Clancy]

Like, tight hole when we. When we would do.

[Kevin Clancy]

Especially with, like, a YP or Frankie, and people start throwing around names and terms and stuff, and. And there was always kind of like, the half of the audience who was like, yeah, like, my favorite was the kink.com castle.

[John Clancy]

Why am I doing.

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't know.

[John Clancy]

Putting your fat sausage fingers into lady gloves is.

[Kevin Clancy]

Is not worth it, dude. But you remember the kink.com castle.

[John Clancy]

I do remember that? Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And worth it.

[John Clancy]

Now I'm done. Had to get on camera for a second, but the amount of people who.

[Kevin Clancy]

Were, like, it was like. It was sort of like, if you know that, Castle, we're cool. And if you don't, you're a little too vanilla for me. And there was always those moments, whether it was a name or a picture or in this case, the term. Like, if you talk to someone from. I don't know. I was gonna say, like, the 1800s, but probably up until, like, 2010, the word gape is not sexualized at all. And still, for a lot of people, it's probably not. But for the people on this side of the tracks, it's like, that word means one thing, and one thing.

[John Clancy]

It's.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. I always think about that from a.

[Kevin Clancy]

Girl point of view.

[John Clancy]

If, like, a girl's watching porn, just, like, it's just so funny to me.

[Kevin Clancy]

They're probably sitting there thinking, like, these.

[John Clancy]

Guys just want to see our really open. Like, what the. Oh, my God. Can I close the doors? Anyway, roll the clip. We're off the tracks. Olivia Munn and Chris Pine were put in tongues and sphincters before Mike Gloves.

[Kevin Clancy]

There are people out there who are not understanding the reference. Here we go.

[John Clancy]

It's a pair of gardening clubs, basically, that girls have to wear because he oils them up so much. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Let's have a conversation. If you need gloves to open your butthole. Too much oil. You think he sells them on the website? Find out. What Mike Adriano has a Reddit. And this is from one year ago, someone posted on the Reddit. Anyone know where to buy Mike's game gloves? And there's one reply, and it says, ask your mom. That's great stuff. That's great podcasting, bro. Ask your mom. You know what?

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm also. I am happy about this ending. And I've been saying this for years. I sound like a broken record. You guys are probably gonna laugh at me because here we are still doing it. But I. I am. I am starting to really think, like, my kids will are getting to the age where they might come across some of this stuff.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know, I'm not worried about them going back and listening. We've always talked about that when people are like, this is gonna last forever. It's like, I guarantee my children are not going into the Apple library podcast animals and finding this. But a clip or something on social or a friend, like, it could happen, you know? And so there are Times where I'm like, you know, I probably should really stop with some of the overtly like, inappropriate stuff. But, so, like, this is a good time, get it all out, done. My next endeavor can be a little more appropriate, I guess, but for the last one, we got to be talking, you know, holes and fluids. The NFL full swing. The NFL makes brings tears to my eyes. That's why I look like I've been crying. The NFL is in full swing. Tailgates, pack stands, and the buzz before kickoff. But getting in is a nightmare where you have lines and price jumps and getting logged out, pinwheeling mid click and then the inventory is gone. You can't buy the ticket. All you want to do is just be there, have a beer in your hand, you know, and experience sports, experience live entertainment. And that's what the gametime app gives you. The advantage.

We got all sorts of comedy bands. Anything specific?

[John Clancy]

We got all kind, obviously, Knicks, 76ers tomorrow, Vikings, Giants, Duke, basketball at Texas Tech, which I think big one for.

[Kevin Clancy]

The hang, certainly the martyr, which is.

[John Clancy]

The world going to be at msg. Yeah, we got Heat, Nicks, Canucks, Islanders, all kinds of stuff.

[John Clancy]

The I feel like next endeavor.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well no, I think we should talk next endeavors. I think people are. That's been my main question. I I think that you are about to absolutely hit the ground running with with scen Steelers scene Steelers.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

I I think that you are in such an awesome position right now to like still be yourself but like you found your lane for all the talk about like you need a niche or you need a focus or specialty and I think doing acting and which some people just call acting doing it.

[John Clancy]

But.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like acting and doing content around acting, speaking to actors about the craft and like I hope there's you know I think you guys could build out a whole world of Jude maybe just I would love to see you like break down a scene or like do almost like a one minute man thing. Like here's what this happened. You could do it too from a technical point of view and like so interviews and creating your own acting content. But also we're going to be a world in six months.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You guys, I might hate you guys soon. I might hate you guys soon.

[John Clancy]

It's very, it's not. I don't.

[Kevin Clancy]

But like, like you got some guests lined up right away for scene stealers that like, if that's. I'll leave you if you still want to say it or not. But like the first couple guests are like really good guests. And if that's episode one and two, think about what episode 200 and 300 are going to be. Like, like, I really think there's a world where one day you're sitting down with like, you're already sitting down with the best of the best, but like some truly legendary people and doing something that is very focused and like easy to sell, easy to understand, easy to pitch, easy to distribute all that stuff.

[John Clancy]

It's easy, not easy to do. But like, it is like, like doing it. We've done one episode. It was like, oh, okay, I get this. Like, like we've been saying like a lot of times, like recently, like, oh, once we do it once, like, I get it, I get it, I get it. I think it's gonna be good. It's gonna be an out of order. So go follow the out of order network. I'm sure everyone who listens to this.

[Kevin Clancy]

Show out of order is going to be a network. It is a network, but it's going to be, I think when it's all said and done, you'll have playlists on your channel and spin offs and, and like a show and a skit show and a content show. And then, you know, these guys do their own thing. I, I think that could be, I think their own world within this barstool world.

[John Clancy]

That's what we hope. So please go follow the Otavoro channel if you would like to see more of me, that's what we'll be.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's actually really exciting.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, that's really.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think that could be very, like a package that people get and really love. And I would say if there's one thing that we, we did miss or lack or needed over the years, it's some of that focused in the right spot.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And it's like very clear what you're doing. And I also really feel like you've, you've so, so super duper come into your own. And like there was for sure a time early on where it would be like, if I can't make an episode, like, we can't do the episode.

[John Clancy]

Oh God, bro, dude, there was one time you couldn't make it and I had to interview Hassan Minaj alone. And I was running up. I hated, like, 3rd Ave. Or whatever.

[Kevin Clancy]

It was because I was at Serious, Right.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. And I was like, I might just keep running. Like, I don't even know if I'm gonna go into that building. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And like, at that time. You know what? I also think that was part of. It was interesting to hear you say last episode that you were like, I didn't, like, think of this as my job when it was like, you know, I'm just working a bar stool. And like, this is the thing that I do 100. And I think that part of that now is like, you realize this is your job. I think part of it is just experience. Part of it is age. Part of it is comfortability. Part of it. I think getting sober was a big part of it. I think all of it is. I was like, never, like, worried, but there was just a time I was like, I have to direct the show and do the ads and all that stuff. And now, like, the past few years would be like, I can't make it in today. And I have no qualms about it. No worries about. I hope you felt the same way. Like, yeah, I can totally do this.

[John Clancy]

I do feel better about being able to do stuff. Yeah. Just. But like, that's just time. And like, that.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's what I mean. That. That's.

[John Clancy]

Do you remember when I used to. I was. I was so self conscious about doing ad reads, I had to do them in an accent. I wasn't doing that for anybody but me, guys. That was. I feel so weird about this. I gotta pretend I'm someone else.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, it's simply safe. Don't you know? Promo code KFC15OFF.

[John Clancy]

That wasn't for entertainment value.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, that and I get. I get this yelled at me like, a decent amount. Welcome. Do you remember that?

[John Clancy]

Do you remember that? You guys remember that?

[Kevin Clancy]

John said welcome 55 times.

[John Clancy]

All right, I'm gonna go pee real.

[Kevin Clancy]

Quick while I get a break. For real. Get the fuck out.

[John Clancy]

That's crazy.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's three times in 40 minutes.

[John Clancy]

He needs another bump.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, this man has the.

[John Clancy]

The.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's that how big that nose is. The nose is so big. It just holds. It's how big the nose is and how big the prostate is. Apparen got a nose and prostate problem.

[Jackie]

Big deal, too.

[Kevin Clancy]

There. See, I can't decide. This is where I would just love to, like, walk a mile in his shoes for a second. How bad does he have to pee right now?

[Jackie]

No, he doesn't.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, I. I'm like, I could pee right now. What's that? I think it's to the point where he can't focus. How that's not possible. But this is what I mean. Like I feel like the second he feels a little like inkling that he could pee, he can't focus. Whereas I think normal people go, I kind of have to pee, but I can power through it for like another five hours if need be. Imagine going on like a road trip with this kid. Impossible. If you were like an eight hour drive with him, it would be a 12 hour drive. Pulling over every time. I mean, 9:55, 10:15, 10:30. That's crazy. That's a problem. You don't have enough water and you buy this? I mean he does drink a ton of water, but he didn't in the last 40 minutes. He had a couple sips. He probably woke up at like 8:30. So in an hour and a half you have that much water. Imagine if you just had violent diarrhea all this time. There's got to be some sort of. I'm just trying to figure this out. No way. It's not possible. I'm gonna start following you to the bathroom. I said, you either have, you know, you have your huge nose, feels so much cocaine, and your huge prostate just keeps pushing on your bladder or something when you have to pee. Is it like right now were you like, I would prefer to pee or you're like, if I don't?

[John Clancy]

No, that was one where I was like, I know, I don't. I'm not gonna make it the rest of my, like, I had to be. It was a full pee. It was full pee. It's 100. It's like, it's kind of like I'm. It's a performance type thing because I don't pee the rest. Like I drink as much water as I usually do. I don't pee all day.

[Kevin Clancy]

So. So is it nerves?

[John Clancy]

Yeah, I think it's just nerves still. Yeah, well, it's.

[Kevin Clancy]

I, I guess, yeah, nerves. Nothing, right? You're not nervous?

[John Clancy]

Yeah, nerves aren't the right word, but it's like it's something, some kind of performance anxiety.

[Kevin Clancy]

That' funny because to me I, I.

[John Clancy]

Think I go, I'm just realizing that now, like it's been a problem for a long time because I don't, I drink a bunch of water. I don't pee at night. I don't like, I don't pee a lot.

[Kevin Clancy]

You're just comfortable.

[John Clancy]

Just right during recording. I pee five, seven times.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right There it was right there. For the thing. I think I'm almost the exact opposite. I think that. And I think I. I could really probably, like, sit down and figure this out. I think I have, like, a psychological thing with recording because, like, no matter how crazy my life would get when I come in here, it's like I'm.

[John Clancy]

In a bubble, really.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think I'm out. I'm. I'm almost at my most comfortable, like, in the.

[John Clancy]

In life right here.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, it's a great spot. It's got to be with, like, you. Like, if I had a guest I haven't had for the first time, I'm a little like, you know, I gotta make sure this goes well. It's not like. Like, I. I couldn't go on stage like you do. Like, I for sure would have performance anxiety in other ways. But. But I think when it comes to.

[John Clancy]

This show, like, gave me, like, the. Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think, like, because there were times where I would be, like, a wreck in real life, and it's probably not a good thing. It's probably like, you know, you're a sociopath and you compartmentalize too much and all that, but. Camera on, mic on, like, I go back into this mode and none of it. Nothing else matters.

[John Clancy]

I agree with that. Yeah, I think so. I think they call it, like, red light syndrome or something like that, where it's like, once that's on person, but it's also like.

[Kevin Clancy]

But not.

[John Clancy]

But that's just work. A lot of people do that. A lot of people go to work and tune out everything else that they have to.

[Kevin Clancy]

But there's a different level when you like it, you know, like, if you, like, if you can tune out and you're just on your spreadsheet, but you're like, this sucks the whole time.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm like, this is awesome. Maybe it was like, almost like a. Everything's going really bad over here, but if I put out, like, a really good episode, that's like, when in the wind column.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, I got one W. Yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

One to grow on. It's like making your bed in the morning.

[John Clancy]

It'll change your whole day.

[Kevin Clancy]

By the way, speaking of, like, me just giving you the look there, I. I posted the video of Josh Hart sticking his finger up Jalen Brunson's ass. And I was saying. I was like, this is NHL behavior, not NBA behavior. And then I just flat out was like, this is white people behavior, you know, and. And that I was Just thinking if. If throughout our years of KFC radio, we were a pause type of podcast, we would never be able to get a sentence out. Never. Like, we would never be able to finish the show. It would just be constant. It's not even pause. It's because it's like, oh, that was a funny like illusion or reference that could be applied to like gay and dicks and stuff. It's like we just say it.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's not even like a. We just come out and bluntly say that kind of stuff. And the amount of people who still were so uncomfortable and reacted to my video were just like, dude, this, like, don't joke about this. Like, oh, that's just you and your friends. That's weird. And it was so 50 50. It was a bunch of guys being like, this is. You're not friends if you don't do this. You've never been in a locker room. In a weird way, it's almost like you're the, the beta guy. You know what I mean?

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

By not sticking your finger in somebody's ass, that means you've never been around like blue collar workers or in a locker room or any of that stuff. Like, you guys are the weird ones. But I can't believe that still had like that much of a. People were uncomfortable.

[John Clancy]

I get like, I don't. I guess I don't really get it. I don't know. Like that. Yeah. I grew up in a locker room. That's a completely normal thing.

[Kevin Clancy]

Especially hockey. Yeah.

[John Clancy]

But for people, I guess a random thumb up your ass. Like, I. If you're like, whoa, I wouldn't like that. That's fine if you find the very act offensive. Yeah, that's weird. Like, what do you care what two teammates are doing? I mean, you can't do teammates doing behind closed doors. What's the. What's the new Amazon show? What the heated rivalries. You guys have heard about that? Just gay guys banging. Gay hockey players banging.

[Kevin Clancy]

Is it like true story?

[John Clancy]

No. I don't know.

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't know.

[John Clancy]

From the trailers I've seen, it looks very like fucking romance fantasy novel type deal. But I, I guess Pat talks about it a lot. I don't know.

[Jackie]

It's a really long gay sex scenes.

[John Clancy]

Oh, really, really long gay sex. Really long gay. Like let's talk like 11 minutes. God damn, dude. Stop that guy in the ass.

[Kevin Clancy]

But anyway, let's go back to like, you know, your next endeavor. I think it, it's all perfect timing and, and not. It's not A coincidence. I think part of ending the show was that out of orders, cooking like mascots was cooking. Stand up's cooking like. So it's, it's all happening, you know, at the same time for a reason. But I think you're really primed to just go now, baby.

[John Clancy]

Maybe, maybe.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[John Clancy]

Maybe just plummet.

[Kevin Clancy]

I know you always say that, but it's like I. What I always try to do in these spots because we do have no self esteem and super insecurity issues and all. Imposter syndrome and all that.

[John Clancy]

Not that one.

[Kevin Clancy]

Not imposter syndrome.

[John Clancy]

Not imposter syndrome. We're talking into microphones. We have the qualifications.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, but I also, But I, I bet. What about when it comes, like comedy and acting? Do you, do you feel like you belong and you're in that?

[John Clancy]

Like, yeah, I feel.

[Kevin Clancy]

You don't feel that?

[John Clancy]

No, because that, like, you get the immediate feedback, like, oh, they're laughing and. Yeah, I don't know. That feels good. So it's pretty easy to feel like, all right, this feels right.

[Kevin Clancy]

Because I was gonna say if you were to, like, if we were to have. I've said this before, if you were to have a guest on the show and they said, like, I got my first appearance in Tires and it was with Vince Vaughn and then I did Burt Stadium and we put out our own show and our skits and you would look at that and be like, oh, you're on your way.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, for sure. You'd be like, yeah, that's a good year.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[John Clancy]

But here's. Follow good years sometimes. Sure, sure.

[Kevin Clancy]

But I, I think that we would say that about someone else. We would be like, oh, that guy's next. You know, that guy's about to go do big things. So I just hope you feel that way about yourself because I know. Know, at least for me, I'm always able to see it in other people and not necessarily in myself, you know?

[John Clancy]

Yeah. I don't know if I, I don't. I just, I know I'm having fun.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's all that matters, right? It kind of does. It doesn't. You can't just say that for anybody. But I think the theme and the story here that we've been hammering for the last few months is longevity. And when you, once you have the longevity and you're comfortable that you think the longevity will continue, at least in some regard, like you said, be good years and down years, but there's not going to be like, like it's over, you know, once, Once. Once you're comfortable and believe that and know that, and that's a reality. I think it does go to just having fun because it's like, that's when your passion and will come through the most. Now if you're a nobody and you're like, I just really love, like, talking about this very niche thing that only a few people talk about, that ain't gonna work. But if you've made it and you're big and then you're like, now I'm gonna, I'm gonna do my passion. That's going to come out in your, in your work and I think make it, make it good, make it successful.

[John Clancy]

I hope so.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, I hope so too. Hope so too. Dude. Shout out to Nick Insider. Man, where's that guy?

[John Clancy]

I don't know that. That is not Ken Burns.

[Kevin Clancy]

What was the.

[John Clancy]

Ken Bone? No, Ken Bones. A different guy too.

[Kevin Clancy]

Ken Kent Murphy. Ken Murphy.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. I think that guy still pops up occasionally.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That guy got. Got a raw deal. This is like a real deep cut. This was a cup of coffee. Barstool Indianapolis. But not Pat McAfee. Right? That was Barcelony.

[John Clancy]

No, it was Barstool LA. He was from it.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right, right. Okay. So we tried to do Barstool Los Angeles. And why that didn't work was because it was not like a true Los Angeles native. And people were sort of like, this guy is just a comedian from the Midwest who went out to Los Angeles to try to make it big. Which is exactly the native experience of Los Angeles. Like, I almost think that people would not want a native Los Angeleno or whatever they call them, because that's like, not what people are interested about in Los Angeles. They want Hollywood, they want the, like, I'm out here waiting tables. I left home and I'm trying to make it. That is the experience. And also like five minutes after that whole experiment failed, the idea of like, like comedy and, and stand up comedy and not needing to be from your city became barstool, you know?

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right now we found out that, like, I don't know if somebody in Chicago was like, from a different. Like if, if people from the Chicago office were like, I'm from Indianapolis and I'm not from here, it wouldn't matter. Just like, yeah, we're all just doing content. Doesn't matter where you come from. Now, whether or not those guys. Who was. It was. It was Nick Insider. And who, who's the other guy?

[John Clancy]

I know there was another guy, but I don't remember.

[Kevin Clancy]

I just remember Their cartoons from Millmore more than anything. Yeah, I hope so too, dude. Anyway, that's, yeah, that's for the real deep stoolies. The failed barstool LA experiment with a couple guys from Indianapolis and even like Kent Murphy. Like I remember at the time kind of being like, oh, that guy has like funny, a funny sketch character that he has. But that's not gonna work here. Like that's not what we do. And now it's like we do all this, you know, so sort of like Austin similar. It's like, you know, timing really is important. You could be a little too early on things and, and you look like a when 5 minutes later everyone else is doing it. But like I feel like that guy. People like talk about Nick Insider. Like it's like such a failed weird experiment. It's like it's just a stand up comedian who moved to Los Angeles. There's 50 billion of them.

[John Clancy]

And the barstool world was like, what is this?

[Kevin Clancy]

This concept is so foreign to me. Weirdos. I think I'm at the point where I just realized, guys, the vast majority of the barstool audience hates me.

[John Clancy]

So I'm like, I don't care about you guys anymore.

[Kevin Clancy]

You like me, you like me, but like barstool fans do not like me. It's a very funny thing. Why? I, I, I, I like the, the vocal minority. I think like would be, you know, I used to kind of like, obviously I would like for everyone to like me. So I'm just at peace with it now. I'm like, yeah, I was talking to girls Got to eat the other day. I was like, like, yeah, my fans don't like me. It's a funny thing to say.

[John Clancy]

I think anyone, I think anyone who makes content on the Internet would, would say that. Yeah, you're probably, my fans don't like.

[Kevin Clancy]

You're probably right.

[John Clancy]

Which is so crazy. Anyway, like a content creator. We going to talk about this the other day that like I've, I feel like content creating mean like works in conjunction with fans. Does that make sense? Like if you're a content creator, like it's whether like maybe fans are giving you ideas for like a bit or something like that, like congregation like that like, like you're gonna change with the fans. Yeah, give and take. That's what I was looking for.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[John Clancy]

And I feel like anyone who's a content creator would go, my fans hate me. It's just like so crazy. So crazy, man. Oh yeah, I got a bunch of fans like me. Oh no, no, no. No, no. My biggest detractors, as a matter of fact, they are the number one problem.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[John Clancy]

Downfall.

[Kevin Clancy]

That to me almost is a badge of honor where it's like, I think if you do have fans that like you, you, you haven't, like, you don't have a big enough pool of people.

[John Clancy]

Yet, you know, so it's like 100%.

[Kevin Clancy]

But it is kind of sad to think it's like we were like this kind of niche thing and then once I opened it up to the rest of the world, they all hated me.

[John Clancy]

Oh, not interested.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm like, was it the gate gloves, guys? What was it? Where did I go wrong? Where did I go wrong?

[John Clancy]

You got to put these things on. I don't know what these gloves are. These are like, I think these what they make Chinese finger traps.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, these do feel way out. What, I mean, maybe are these just gay?

[John Clancy]

Plus they feel really weird, right?

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean, I think that's kind of what these gloves, like, I think the whole point is it's a weird material that doesn't get like absorption or whatever. So like you can, you can grab some reject oil.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, this is a fabric that rejects oil.

[Kevin Clancy]

Imagine just being like, there's somebody out there who's like, like, job is like, oh, yeah, no, I, I've. I bought my fourth house because I manufactured these anti oil porn gloves. Yeah, these are horrible.

[John Clancy]

They're very uncomfortable. I feel like they're gonna off putting.

[Kevin Clancy]

Crack when you move.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. And then when you pull it, doesn't it feel like a Chinese finger drop?

[Kevin Clancy]

It does because it's got like a little bit when you, when you pull it, it tightens.

[John Clancy]

So it's Chinese people put our dicks.

[Kevin Clancy]

Imagine if we just did something wildly gay for our final act. Like you guys have been joking about it. Me and John are going to turn.

[John Clancy]

Each other off now. Last thing that happens on the show is I get my dick caught in a glove.

[Kevin Clancy]

So scene stealers, out of order TV shows, stand up. Acting career is next, right? That's the goal. That's the plan.

[John Clancy]

Sure. We'll see.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[John Clancy]

But out of order, out of order. YouTube is what's next. And that's what we're going to do. Put stuff on and hopefully it goes well from there.

[Kevin Clancy]

Hey, listen, a lot less competition on YouTube these days. We all win. Some people won more than others with the Netflix deal. And then other people can go, all right, well, that's, you know, maybe come subscribe to me on YouTube instead. I'm like, yo, can I get that Can I get that YouTube channel, I wonder. Actually, I. I just thought about it now. Like, I don't know what's gonna. Those are. I don't think any. So the Netflix deal was announced across the. The entire industry. Certain podcasts are now video exclusive to Netflix. And in the barstool world, it's Chiclets. Part of my take, Ryan Rosillo. And so that's obviously a big deal in the media world.

[John Clancy]

And I can't believe people are upset about that.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's. That's crazy. I can. I don't know, but I'm not surprised by it.

[John Clancy]

Like, that's like. But I know it is what, like, the Internet is and stuff like that. But like, like that to me feels like a very. If you want to keep, like, credibility as someone who gets angry about things, that's not. That's not one to die. That's not a hell to die.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's also, I know, like, people are like, it's behind a paywall. It's not, bro. If you do not have Netflix in America in the year of our Lord 2025, you're not like a human.

[John Clancy]

Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, I can't, I can't. And I'm sure there's a very small group of people who are unfort in unfortunate economic circumstances. I'm not talking about that. Like, yeah, yes, there. Sure. There's people who can't afford the 9.99amonth. And those people, yeah, they. I guess they can be mad.

[John Clancy]

They can be super. You can't be mad if you can listen to the podcast.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, and that. So the ultimate thing that I was going to say is like, we have evolved and I think new content should be video first. For a long time now, I think video first and certainly, like going forward, if you're starting something, you need to make a video product. It's. It's almost become the opposite. It's like, make a video product, strip the audio, put it on Apple and Spotify, and it's almost gonna lose some of its luster because you're like referencing things that need to be visual. Yeah, but you can go listen if you're in the car or something.

[John Clancy]

Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

Whereas initially it was the other way around. This is an audio product that you do listen to in the car. And then the video was sort of like a bonus behind the scenes. Oh, I can just put a face to the name and I can see how they operate and all that sort of. Right now I think it needs to be like a visual show. Clips and video and pictures and, and. But if at, at its heart, you can, you can enjoy Pardon My Take as it was intended to be created and pretty much at its fullest extent on. On. On audio for free, then like, you can't really complain too much, you know?

[John Clancy]

Yeah, that like, I actually, I didn't really know, honestly. I knew people were upset about it and I made the dumb, I guess, assumption that they were kind of conflating it with like the WB thing and it was like, oh, you're. I don't know. I don't know what I was thinking. But I just knew that's why people were bad at Netflix. I assume people were gonna stay mad for that reason. And then I heard it was like, because some people don't have Netflix. And it's like, okay, come on, guys. Again, there are some people who can't, you know, because the unfortunate circumstances of their financial situation can't afford it.

[Kevin Clancy]

If you're a really poor Pardon My Take fan, you can complain and also.

[John Clancy]

But you can still listen to them show.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, yeah, go listen. And then, and I, I. There's probably some like, valid discussion to be had. I have no idea how the ads are going to work. I feel like a lot of times when people pay for something and then there's ads, they get mad about it. But that's also happening everywhere too, right? So there's, there's probably some with that. There's probably like. I'm thinking about. I really don't watch podcasts on YouTube. I still am an audio like dinosaur, but I would imagine people are. It's a little more natural or like regular for people to pull up YouTube like on their phone as opposed to Netflix on their phone. So maybe that'll be like a transitional thing.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, you'll have to hit a different app icon for. It'll be weird for a week. Like when you're writing a new check, right? Peeking to be an ancient. Huh?

[Kevin Clancy]

Writing a check.

[John Clancy]

I still write a check.

[Kevin Clancy]

I pay my rent. Every rent.

[John Clancy]

I pay my rent every month with check.

[Kevin Clancy]

Actually, that's probably still pretty normal, right? Rent checks?

[John Clancy]

I think so, yeah. I, I've done it. I think I've always done it, I think.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. So those are things that are like, not a big deal, but they're just like, you know, part of a transition. It's just, I think it's just people get mad when is thriving and making money and like you're making business moves and, and a little bit of change. Instagram changed the layout of their thing and I'M like, ah. And then the new iOS update, people are mad about the screenshots and stuff, and in like, a week, you'll be fine. Yeah, but. But it also is. I'm also not going to deny people their week of complaining, because that's how the world works. So be mad about it and talk about how much you love YouTube and then go watch, pardon my, take on.

[John Clancy]

Netflix, which you have as an app.

[Kevin Clancy]

And again, it's not like if. If it was like, we're now on, like, Crackle or, you know, one of those. Oh, I don't have that info. Like, some new. Like, I do.

[John Clancy]

It's Netflix.

[Kevin Clancy]

I. I would. I would almost say very, very few instances, like, Joe Rogan going, like, Spotify alone for, like, $100 million. Like that. That. That one worked.

[John Clancy]

But so I forgot that, like, this has happened before. They're just gonna get mad. The world gets mad every time. It's gonna happen.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yes. And I. I think there's few instances of where it's like, it worked. But even, like, Joe. I think Joe Rogan, like, like, felt like when he came back and he was back on YouTube, that was like a win for him. So I think there is a lot of value being on YouTube. But my point was going to be, any other time I've seen a show go to a network, go exclusive behind a paywall, it doesn't work. Like, I feel like, you know what I mean? But this is not. That is Netflix.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's like, if you.

[John Clancy]

It's also not going exclusive, not going behind a paywall, you can listen to it.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Yeah, right? So, I mean, that's the overarching point for sure. But, like, when someone's like, we're now on the Wondery network, it's like, see you never, dude.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm never gonna see you again. And those people might have got a bag, but you are going to fall off. This is not that. Because it's Netflix. It's everywhere. Everyone has it. It's cool.

[John Clancy]

Like, you wanna.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, if you took a bag from. I keep using Wondery. I'm sorry, I don't want to take shots. But, like, that's just the only one I can think of. You'd be like, I'm getting a ton of money, but we have to go on this network over here. Here. To me, if we were in this opportunity, I'd be like, we're getting a ton of money and we're like a Netflix thing. You'd be pumped about it. And I'm Sure. There's some, some negatives. Like I said, I, I think there's still the best way to grow and stay relevant, I probably think, is YouTube, but they have, they're not in growth mode. They're at, like, established mode. And I think that I would hope, and I'm assuming that Netflix is going to open so many doors where it's like, you can sit down with the cast of our shows and you can be all of our Warner brother IP now that we own. You can be, like, in a DC movie. You can be on, like, NBA on T, like, whatever. I'm sure they're gonna open a ton of doors. So I think in the end, it'll all be very, very good. And I think most people see this, but even the people who are complaining, I think will be like, oh, yeah, we were wrong on that one. Or maybe not. I don't know. Maybe people, like, end up hating this. It's a new, you know, so they're kind of blazing the trail. We'll find out. I, I wish we were getting a Netflix man. So, so my family has been very, very kind, and they were like, like, well, you announced that your show's ending. Like, Netflix is not gonna buy a show that's ending. I'm like, that's not why this is. Thank you, guys, but stop it. And they, like, kept, they, like, kept persisting, you know, And I was like, I appreciate what you're doing, but now it's starting to bother me because why.

[John Clancy]

Would we ever get caught by Netflix?

[Kevin Clancy]

There's a million reasons why not, but they're just trying to be, you know, like, oh, no, you would, you would be in there, too. Like, no, no, no, we would not. I would, I would love to have been. I mean, mean, I, I, I, I think if, if. I think that at our peak, what we did, if, if the show, like, continued that way, could be worthy of, of being a part of that plan. But not where we were in, in recent years when all this negotiating was happening. But it was, it was funny. Like, it's like, I know what you. This is like, you know, your mom tells you you're, like, the most handsome boy in the school. You know, it's like, no, listen, the kid who can run the mile really fast, like, he's cooler than me.

[John Clancy]

Like, I get it, Mom.

[Kevin Clancy]

I know you think I'm the best, but, like, this other people out there, but, yeah, that's so congrats to those guys. I got a very nice text from Biz. Biz was like, I Don't know. I don't think he'll care I'm mentioning this, but he was like, thank you. And I was like, okay, like, I'll take it. But like, you deserve all that, bro.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

He was just like, you know, this wouldn't have happened without the work that you guys did to build like the, the whole network. And I was like, okay, thank you. But no.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And particularly him of all people, like, like cuz Chiclets was, was, you know, Ra and Whitney's vision and they were doing well, but then Biz came in with put a battery in their back and went. So like, if anything, it's like you literally hands on. I think there are some people who came in and kind of took advantage of the Barstool network or used it as a stepping stone and, and did well and gave back in their own regard. But there was a imbalance there, you know, for sure. I would say if anything, you know, Barstool is, the imbalance is the other.

[John Clancy]

Way with how much business indebted, indebted to Chiclets as a whole.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean New Amsterdam and all like Pink Whitney, all that, like they have really put given back as much as they, they've taken 10 times, I would imagine. So shout out to Biz. It was nice to even for him to even send that.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

So I appreciated that even though it was totally unnecessary. All right, let's go. Let's do some clips.

[Jackie]

Well, what's your next move?

[Kevin Clancy]

I, I, I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna like take a minute. I, I do want, I, I, I, I think you have a. Runway, all things planned out. And I, I didn't want to launch anything kind of at the same time.

[John Clancy]

Right. So I think I also, it's this network is staying.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, yeah, I, my plan is to build out one minute man into more of like a. It's very clear that's what has worked for me and that's what people really know me as and, and I think enjoy the most. I wish that there's also part of me that's like when people like, what are you gonna do next? I'm like, I've already done it, man. I'm doing it. Like I got looked at the stats that I got a hundred million views in the last three months. I'm like, I did it.

[John Clancy]

That's, that's the craziest thing. That's the crazy thing. Like, what is next? Yeah, the mold is the most popular.

[Kevin Clancy]

Thing I've ever done is Currently happening.

[John Clancy]

You know, it's like.

[Kevin Clancy]

And it's just not, not. They don't like, it's not earning money, I guess. And so it doesn't get, like, talked about and like the same whatever. But I'm like, what more can I. And I mean, the real answer, I understand is YouTube. Like, at least in this universe, we need to have long form in order to sell the way we sell. I think there's a whole world of like, simply putting watermarks on videos. Like, because sometimes I do understand it's like, like the short form, it's an ad read trying to wedge into a quick video. It's a quick turnaround. You don't know the topics. All that sort of stuff I get can be a little bit complicated. I don't think it's complicated enough that it shouldn't be sold at all, but I think it's complicated. But I'm like, here's an easy solution. Put the watermark on it and you'll get all my views. Because sometimes I'll do an ad read and it's like, oh, that one popped off, but the one I did the ad read for didn't, you know? So this is why you get it all. And that way, if I could just guarantee you, over the last 90 days, I got 110 million views more than barstool sports. I'm sure. Sure. What's that? I would imagine it's almost more than Barcelona. It's like, I, I don't, I really don't know anybody. Anybody that's doing it. Like, I'm doing it in. At least in terms of my views to follower ratio is like astronomical.

[John Clancy]

Well, that's the thing where you're like, oh, you're primed to go. Like, I'm not prime for anything. You're prime.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, yeah, but, but in that sense, yes. And that's where I'm like, yeah, this is very clearly what has resonated with people, what a lot of people know me as. And so, yeah, it's primed in that sense. It's a little bit what I'm. What I'm hoping will be the difference because I've tried to do One Minute man on YouTube before for like a quick period of time. I didn't really commit to it because there's so many other things going on. And that's also what's going to be nice, is ending. This is like, there's more time to do other things the right way.

[John Clancy]

But also that is the way the. We've always talked about that, that like, even when something's just an hour, it.

[Kevin Clancy]

Takes up your whole day.

[John Clancy]

It takes the whole day, bro.

[Kevin Clancy]

On, on days that we.

[John Clancy]

I come in particularly with creative and, and maybe I'm. Maybe it is with every field, but like with creativity, it is like I had to focus on this today.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's the thing.

[John Clancy]

This is the thing for the day.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I. Earlier in my career, I can't, I can't give too many excuses because there were a time where I was young enough and hungry enough that it was like five days a week, multiple interviews, multiple shows, five shows at a time. So like I could.

[John Clancy]

But that was still staying in show mode.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[John Clancy]

Where I would get up is when it had to train, change medium.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[John Clancy]

It would be like, today we're doing Snapchat stuff and then you got a blog. The blogging and that.

[Kevin Clancy]

Blogging and, and content is tough.

[John Clancy]

The blog. Yeah, it was the blogging and something else. It was like, I can't do both. It's really hard.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I, I could get up earlier and I could stay up later. Yes. But also there is a part of me that's just like, I'm 40, I have kids, I have a life outside this. And then like, so the commute in the show, like hang out for a little bit afterwards, eat some lunch, pow, wow, like make some content out there, maybe being on camera for view of stool, whatever. And then it's time to commute back home. It's like it's over. You know what I mean? So that'll be nice to have that and I can focus more on the videos. But when I have tried to do the YouTube long form, I'm. I've started a new channel and it's just. Unless you're really famous or really talented or like really inflammatory.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Starting from zero is like really hard for me. Me. So I'm hoping that I'm going to use the, the YouTube channel to do some of that one minute man stuff. And starting with like a 5,000, 10,000 view built in, hopefully I think we'll make sales, look at it different, the algorithm look at it different. So that hopefully will be a difference maker. It's just very clear that like, I mean, there's a lot of people I think are kind of being a little bit over the top or exaggerating, but people like you could be like the Walter Cronkite of the Internet. I think that's silly. But it's like being the news guy on the Internet that, you know, sometimes I don't Want to do like the news, but like being the guy who's just telling you stories and telling you things are happening. So I'm going to do that.

[John Clancy]

And then that's, I, I, I've talked to people who are like, that's the no brainer.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's, yeah, that, that's it for sure. And I hope it works in a long form setting for business purposes and just like growth purposes. But there is part of me that's like, why do I have to even like change this? Why can't we just, I mean, when I, when, when, when I was posting more on the Barstool channel back when they used to sell it, all the ads had to go on the main channel. I did a billion views in a year. One billion.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And that's what it was selling. So I was like, here we go. I remember the first year of One Minute Man. I think they sold it for like, I think on the year it made like two and a half million bucks. And I was like, okay. And then year two is gonna be like five and by year 10 it's gonna be like $50 million. And it was a good lesson that like things don't always just go up. Like your plans don't always work work for whatever reason. It's not making money now. So like we got to just figure out a way. It's weird when it's like the content is working, but now we got to like make the, the business side of it work. So I'm gonna do that. And then also I, I do still want to do some sort of podcasting. I believe that like short form and video is the, is the future. But I want to still like talk to people. So I'll probably do like a one on one interview type series. Be like a little, hopefully like a bootleg Joe Rogan type thing. So those will be two things. But in terms of like launching the new stuff, I really, I think it's smarter for each of us to kind of especially because I can still go do my like come watch me on One Minute man over here. Yeah, I'll start to roll it out. But I want, I want you to kind of have your space to do that. And I think you're more ready than I am in that, in that regard. But so kind of what we have already been doing is going to continue.

[John Clancy]

Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

And, and I guess, you know, this was the, this, this place that we kind of like did a little debrief or reaction or a post game to those things basically. And you know, that that part does stink. That, that's not there. I can understand where fans are maybe gonna miss that. But as far as like the crux of who we are as content creators and what we do, that should still be going, as long as everything goes to plan.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

So, yeah, plenty, plenty more to still come. And let's get into some reminisce. Yep. Right now, all the, all the craze. All the. It's kind of a craze, kind of a craze to take the weight loss medicine and meet your weight loss goals with a little bit of help from the right medication. The GLP ones we're talking about, we goi. We're talking about Ozempic, but it's hard to find. It's hard to. To find out if you're covered, how to get them, get approved for them. The logistics are pretty tough. And that's where ROE comes in. Row has their insurance check that lets you know if you're covered for GLP1s and it's for free. You don't get charged anything for checking. You don't get penalized on anything for checking. You sign up with roe, they will check your insurance. They come back to you and say, if you're covered, here you go. If you're not covered, here are your options here, how much to pay. Here's how you can finally get your hands on them. So if you want to see if you're covered, which is the first step, submit your insurance card at ROE and they take care of the rest. No paperwork, no hassle, no waiting on hold. You don't have to talk to anybody. Rose Free Insurance Checker sends you a comprehensive report of your coverage details and then you can make the decision that's right for your goals. And if you decide to move forward, Roe can help you understand how the GLP1s work and if they're right for you and your goals. And that's just the beginning of your journey. So right now, go to RO Co kfcr. That's RO Co KFCR for a free insurance check to see if you're covered for your GLP1s. Go to RO Safety for boxed warnings and full safety information about GLP1 medications. Fabletics is offering a VIP membership, which means you could be a part of a crew, part of a family, like the KFC Radio family. This family, though, the VIP Fabletics, is one that has high quality clothing that's comfortable and stylish and performs well at the gym or on the go or when you're traveling Fabletics is all that athleisure wear that is comfortable and stylish and you can wear it out, you can lounge in it because it's comfortable. Wear it out and you look good. Or, or you can wear it to the gym or on the plane. You know, who was that guy who's saying you got to like dress well again on the plane?

[John Clancy]

Sean Duffy, I believe he's the director. He's, he's, he's got a Buddha judge job I think. Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

So he's like don't wear your pajamas. He's right. But I still want to be comfortable. Wear your fabletics. The perfect balance and the VIP membership basically pays for itself. When you sign up you get everything at a discount of 80. So you pay a little bit of money up front to become a Fabletics VIP member but then everything you buy from there on out is 80 discounted. We're talking joggers and zip ups and shorts and pants, everything you need. And it's all high quality. So like your waistband won't be rolling down and the joggers will actually keep their shape and the jackets are warm without being too bulky and it solves all the usual issues you have with activewear while still being soft and breathable and performance and durable. So they have over 2 million people who have joined the VIP membership. So that means there's a reason why 2 million people out there getting an 80 discount. You could be 2 million and 1. So right now go to Fabletics.com KFC and you could sign up to be a VIP member to get 80 off everything. Amazing deals. But right now is the best chance, the time to sign up and get the best deal possible. That's Fabletics.com KFC to sign up as VIP and get 80 off. We were talking gay stuff earlier. Dog and gay stuff. This is one of my favorites. Let me just tell you what his topic says here. Gay guys should do everything.

[John Clancy]

Give them the keys to the world, give them the keys to the kingdom. Not the place I'm staying at in Jersey Shore. It's owned and operated by two gay guys. And every single thing in this house is perfect.

[Kevin Clancy]

Immaculate.

[John Clancy]

God, I wouldn't have got that but boy do I love it. I laid in bed the first time. I was like what a bed. This is just unbelievable. Everything in that house is just perfect.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, because they, they, they have, they, they have style and, and class and money and, and.

[John Clancy]

But I, I think even more than that, I think it's just they have taste.

[Kevin Clancy]

They have, they, they put Effort into everything. They take it serious. Passion.

[John Clancy]

Passion is what I'm looking for. Passion.

[Kevin Clancy]

They're happy people. I mean, not wrong. Still applicable.

[John Clancy]

This guy sold that house a year later for like 30. I'm sorry, like a 300 uptick. I don't know how anything sells sales works, but 300 uptick sounds impressive.

[Kevin Clancy]

The gays have got it made, man. The worst thing that ever happened to gay people was gay marriage being legalized.

[John Clancy]

It's like, now you got to live.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like the rest of us. Go be like, yeah, we're dating, but like, not really. And like, we're super happy and we like party and don't have any kids and spend all our money on whatever the we want. Now it's like we're a family unit. We're going to adopt kids. We're going to be miserable like the straights that. No, no, thank you, man.

[John Clancy]

Oh, let's do.

[Kevin Clancy]

I got. I got a decent amount of banana cigarette requests. Bananas. That's one. That's kind of a deep cut too. That was very funny. We had. We had merch for. That's a. That's a good fight.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, the Shire. The shirt is fire.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. No one did buy it, but that.

[Kevin Clancy]

Was one of our coolest shirts ever.

[John Clancy]

I was out at the bar and I left the bar to go grab some cigarettes. While I was in the 7 11, I also had to buy a bunch of candy. And then I was like, well, I'm trying to be healthy, so I'll get this big bag of candy and I'll also get a banana. So I'm outside a bar. I'm outside a bar with. Doing alternating drags with banana and cigarette. Banana. And at 7:11, they just give you paper bags now. So he's got a paper bag crunched up at the same hand as a banana. And then I'm like, you went on.

[Kevin Clancy]

A cigarette Banana break, John.

[John Clancy]

Someone comes walking across the street. They go, hey, what's up, Fe bird? Big fan. I'm mid drag. I go correct him.

[Kevin Clancy]

So great.

[John Clancy]

I don't want you to think. Can I tell you. I just told you this one yesterday, I think. But I had a very similar story happen two nights ago. I was cleaning out my. Cleaning out some shit my apartment and was bringing trash bags to the street that were. Yeah, trash bags filled with blankets and pillows. Just like old blankets and pillows that.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm getting rid of.

[John Clancy]

And I put them on the street and then I was trying to untie the bags so people would see that. That it's Full of blankets and shit. You know, like homeless people right around the trash.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's not garbage.

[John Clancy]

Get in there.

[Kevin Clancy]

Some good stuff.

[John Clancy]

But I was smoking a cigarette and I was in sweatpants and a hoodie. And so I was fumbling over the trash at 10pm Opening, ripping and open the trash bags on the street. And I was like, people absolutely think I'm the homeless guy right here. I just want homeless people to know that there are blankets in this bag. I would have loved if you were.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, I just want to announce I'm not homeless.

[John Clancy]

Yes.

[Kevin Clancy]

But yeah, that's. I think that's also a part of our charm is like like you dress very well and I've got some money in the bank. But I also feel like we have our moments where it's like, oh no, I'm just a piece of white trash. I wake up in chocolate puddles. I dress like an whatever it is. Like, oh, those are still just regular ass guys.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, yeah, I'm a regular dude. I wake up in chocolate all the time. You know me, man. A regular 37 year old guy. I pass out in chocolate regularly. We got this is.

[Kevin Clancy]

This is a me and Jackie favorite. You and Jackie favorite. Like I don't think. Wait, I don't even want to look at it. Probably like this came and went for fans. I don't think anyone addressed but me and Jackie go back and like text about every once in a while. Remember this story.

[John Clancy]

Oh, of course.

[Kevin Clancy]

This is a seminal moment in my life underneath my, my bedroom. And we called him the book man because every so often, few times a week he would just be going, where.

[John Clancy]

The are my books?

[Kevin Clancy]

Scream, where are my books? Like every now and then, you know, you have a girl over and the book man goes off. You're like, it's just book Mandor come kill.

[John Clancy]

Awesome. Been hard up then.

[Kevin Clancy]

Got to finish up and have a book ready.

[John Clancy]

People like that, whatever he else. You guys scrambling. Find the books. Find the books.

[Kevin Clancy]

Catch her in the rye.

[John Clancy]

No, we gave him that last time.

[Kevin Clancy]

Gatsby you love great Gatsby.

[John Clancy]

You have a book ready in 45 seconds.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's not a drill.

[John Clancy]

Find a book.

[Kevin Clancy]

I wish I could give you guys a visual on just, just how. How weird the bookman situation was because the apartment building like just pictured your apartment. No, but you're not. You're probably not even picture right because like, like I hope at least when people think of an apartment, you maybe think of like a doorman or like an elevator building. This was like an old tiny building. To begin with. That even like my, my apartment was big but like shitty. So even the one we paid for that was a actual place for people to live was like eh. And this was the, the basement under that. It was not a home at all. It was not meant for humans to live in. I don't think there was any windows. I don't think it was furnished finished at all. It was just like he was living in a cellar. And, and it was, we had a backyard. So our back, our kitchen had a back door that went out to the, to the backyard. And then over here he had steps that went up from his dungeon to the backyard. So every now and then if we're like hanging out in the backyard, we like hear his door open or like a head popping out.

[John Clancy]

We'd be like, it's book. It was so weird.

[Kevin Clancy]

And he was always, if we did catch him when he was not in a book rage, he would just be kind of muttering to himself, just like walking the street. Just like, like almost like, almost like a, like Harry from Home Alone. Like.

[John Clancy]

The Book man.

[Kevin Clancy]

Dude, I, I still there. There's a, there's a Seinfeld episode about Jerry not returning the book to the library. Remember that?

[John Clancy]

Yeah, of course.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. And the guy, he's like a very famous actor who plays like the librarian.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, he, it's the guy. He's.

[Kevin Clancy]

Let me tell you something.

[John Clancy]

Book man.

[Kevin Clancy]

That guy. So we'll. The guys who live with me and that will send that gift back and forth to this day. Still.

[John Clancy]

The Book Man. What is his name?

[Kevin Clancy]

His.

[John Clancy]

He's like legendary. Yeah, no, he was, he was great. He's in Curb. He was in, I don't know, got.

[Kevin Clancy]

A very recognizable voice. You know what I want to say looking at that video, I'm wearing the Saturdays for the Boys dipset shirt.

[John Clancy]

Oh yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Cameron. Cameron. And Joel's in the, in the American flag. The merch front man. Like having watched all these clips that we've been reminiscing with, we're almost always wearing something different from like our own lines. Yeah. And stuff. Like I remember the, like that is true. The quilted hoodies I remember was like a revolution. Like I, I think that that alone quilted hoodies and sweatpants I think was like a, a million bucks or a couple million bucks over the years. I remember getting, getting five thousand dollar bonuses for that like quite often. So that I remember like the Sherpa was a big deal. I remember those. But then it's just like, oh yeah, that was that hoodie. Oh, that one with like, the Charlotte Hornets colors. That was ours. Oh, that, like, color blocking panel. That was ours. Oh, the cartoon, the this, the that.

[John Clancy]

That one I'm wearing is the. We made, remember, all the fake jerseys. That was unbelievable.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wait, what was? I don't know. That one. What's that?

[John Clancy]

That's, that's an AFC Richmond fake jersey. So we'd have like, T shirt jerseys, but, like, all for, like, all the fake sports teams.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, yes, yes, yes. That's from 10 Panthers and stuff like that. Yeah. And I, I, that, that is for sure, like a young man's game. I feel like I'll still put out like a cozy hoodie here and something like, functional there, but I think when you're 40, you're probably not like, hey, kids, wear this hoodie. You know, But I think we went on a run there. That was one of the things I was most proud about. We talked about that earlier when we first started the farewell tour is that merch used to just be like, novel T shirts. And then we made some, like, real clothes and, and seeing how much we made and like, I was probably a very much like a thriving business. I, I, I remember thinking, especially with you, like, your job, you should just be like a clothing creator. You could, you could stop making content and just do this and probably thrive. So the fact that that was like a side hustle that was pulling in a lot of money, and whether you agree or disagree on, like, the taste of it, maybe you didn't like the style or whatever, it was like a real piece of clothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I like, I like being able to say, like, at one point I was like a clothing designer, you know?

[John Clancy]

Yeah. A lot of jobs.

[Kevin Clancy]

Rich Franklin was like the, the designer behind that. We used to go out to his shop in Brooklyn and like, you know, look at samples and colors and all that stuff. That was, it was a, Yeah, a real job. And I think we did it, like, pretty well for, you know, 20 something bros looking for hoodies and T shirts and stuff like that. You know, we're not Carl Lagerfeld out here or something like that, but what we did, we did a good job of that. You got an update on the Noonan investment?

[John Clancy]

Yeah, they could still helmet.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think I still own a very expensive piece of property, is a very funny one. Apartment building. You're not like, out in the wilderness.

[John Clancy]

Newman County, Atlanta. We got plenty of bears out there. I just like, I mean, they're living.

[Kevin Clancy]

In an apartment building. You're not like, out in the Wilderness.

[John Clancy]

Living, New England County, Atlanta. We got plenty of bears out there.

[Kevin Clancy]

How's that investment going, John? Seen any dividends yet?

[John Clancy]

No. I heard there was a hurricane. I literally don't know if it's standing.

[Kevin Clancy]

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution quote, you could Hear it coming. One dead as catastrophic tornado hits south.

[John Clancy]

Of Atlanta, 45 minutes south. That.

[Kevin Clancy]

There was a time. I, I wish I could remember now, but there was a time that I had the, like, 45 minutes south of Atlanta with access to both the airport, whatever.

[John Clancy]

I had the pitch, like, in my.

[Kevin Clancy]

Head at all times.

[John Clancy]

Blue collar down. No, I still, I wouldn't even know how to find out how that's doing. Really?

[Kevin Clancy]

Not even like, the guy who got you into it? Could you ask him?

[John Clancy]

I could probably call. I could figure it out. I could figure it out.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wait, but wait, I could figure it out like this.

[John Clancy]

With everything I gotta figure out, I can figure out where it is.

[Kevin Clancy]

But wait, so you bought a. You bought an apartment?

[John Clancy]

I know I gave someone like, you invested.

[Kevin Clancy]

You bought like a share of an apartment.

[John Clancy]

Sure.

[Kevin Clancy]

And then they rented it.

[John Clancy]

Apartment building.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right. So you bought, bought. You put in 50,000 bucks to buy a million dollar unit, let's say whatever that had five units in it. And then the idea is they rent it and everybody makes money. Are you like, you have like, auto deposit? Like, are you. Are you. Probably. Okay, but like that.

[John Clancy]

Look, I'm sure everything's working as it should.

[Kevin Clancy]

I just don't know what that means. I'm, I'm. What I'm not sure of is if you did your part correctly. I'm sure that guy is running a building and taking rent. Rent. But do you have, like. Did you give him your banking information?

[John Clancy]

I would think I would.

[Kevin Clancy]

And he's paying you the money.

[John Clancy]

I bet I would.

[Kevin Clancy]

So that either means that it's not making enough to really jump out at you. I would. Are you doing well enough that you could be making money? You're like, oh, I didn't even notice that there was an extra, like, thousand bucks in there.

[John Clancy]

Well, I don't ever look at my bank account? Why would I look? I haven't looked at my bank account and five years, maybe more.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's funny because, like, I could for sure see a world. Like, if I didn't have kids and didn't own a house and all that I would be the same way.

[John Clancy]

Like, I know how much money I make. I know how much money I get to spend, and I know it comes every two weeks. How much comes every two weeks?

[Kevin Clancy]

You're good to go.

[John Clancy]

So I just spend about that much until two weeks come and then I get more money.

[Kevin Clancy]

You never need to like open your bank account for like other purposes where you're like, oh, I'll see my balance. Like, you don't, like, I don't know if you're gonna like Zell some money or something, you know.

[John Clancy]

I'm sure I've seen it.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay. Yeah, but it's always like, okay, that sounds about right. It's never like oh or oh, no. It's always just like, yeah, yeah.

[John Clancy]

It's about how much money should be there.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, I can guess.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, it's always in a, a thousand dollar range.

[Kevin Clancy]

But you're like, yeah, that's about how much I expected. What it is, it's a real miracle that more people didn't take advantage. Like after hearing the Noonan story.

[Jackie]

I'll point out them sobbing right now.

[Kevin Clancy]

You crying like, like emotional tears or from laughing. Cuz I'm Noonan.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. Talking.

[Kevin Clancy]

You got it. You got to talk.

[John Clancy]

If you're tell.

[Kevin Clancy]

Why what? I don't know, it's just that's, that's what's hitting. Yeah.

[John Clancy]

I don't know why Noonan did it exactly whenever John gets talking about his personal finances.

[Kevin Clancy]

But like that is funny though because it, those are probably the stories that I think will sit with people. Like, I hope that they remember. Of course you remember the big ones. But I hope some of these little ones bookman, like these guys, like a bookman really makes me. I'm like, that was a very personal story. That was, it was a silly thing. And the thought that there's a couple people who like talk about that I love whether there's someone tearing up over your dumb investments or maybe your smart investments, we don't know. But the fact that it wasn't more like entrepreneurs or people who like needed money or something like, oh, let's. This guy's a mark.

[John Clancy]

Let's go get him. Like get.

[Kevin Clancy]

Buy anything but apartment in Atlanta. I can get to fund a restaurant in New York or something.

[John Clancy]

People found me. People found.

[Kevin Clancy]

I got.

[John Clancy]

I'm right back. No, for real. I mean it's like what time?

[Kevin Clancy]

Go, go, go four times in like in like 70 minutes.

[John Clancy]

Take enough pisses, you start learning how to open the door and not slam it into something.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think Jackie will do it. Let's. I, she'll, she'll. John was like, yeah, I've been peeing so much. I've learned how to open the door without hitting It. I was like, Jackie's gonna do it. Then boom.

[John Clancy]

I also, I was just taking a full piss and was like, what is going on? On top of the performance thing, everyone's crying. I'm just crying out of my dick. Got no tears up here. I genuinely think there's some kind of connection where I'm like, I'm.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm.

[John Clancy]

It's a performance thing. I'm stressed. I don't know.

[Kevin Clancy]

The body's like, we got to get it out somehow, some way.

[John Clancy]

Pissing out of my. I'm crying out of my dick.

[Kevin Clancy]

Or maybe, maybe Jackie's pissing out of her eyes.

[John Clancy]

What do we got?

[Kevin Clancy]

Speaking of fin dumps, for sure part of our lore. Let's get some Jackie recaps My Venmo.

[Jackie]

And he just like started sending money. But then, then I was like, all right, what's up, cuz? Then he like started sending more money.

[John Clancy]

How much money?

[Kevin Clancy]

We talk.

[Jackie]

I've made up to a thousand right now.

[John Clancy]

A thousand bones.

[Kevin Clancy]

Jesus Christ.

[John Clancy]

You dare you.

[Jackie]

I had to kind of work for a little bit.

[John Clancy]

I will say we need to work.

[Jackie]

I've just had to like text him as if I am my finom. Kind of.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh well.

[John Clancy]

Take your phone out.

[Kevin Clancy]

From Jackie. Hahaha. You're so pathetic. It really makes me so hard when you talk like that. From Jackie.

[John Clancy]

I bet you come so fast when I say that to you. Haha. How are you this perfect?

[Kevin Clancy]

Can I come, goddess, or should I.

[John Clancy]

Wait for your pick? Don't come. Don't come right out.

[Kevin Clancy]

So funny.

[John Clancy]

That's so funny.

[Kevin Clancy]

Don't you come right now.

[John Clancy]

Now I'm going to kill you.

[Kevin Clancy]

That was an era, bro. Bro. This is an era of Jackie being.

[John Clancy]

Out of pocket, John being faced.

[Kevin Clancy]

I was like a social pariah in the news.

[John Clancy]

That studio has some. That had some going on, man. Don't even get me started on Jackie's nose. Oh, in there.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's so funny, man. I.

[John Clancy]

That was the dark cloud hanging over the studio. Was Jack his nose blocking the sun?

[Kevin Clancy]

Dude, I never, I never once when I first met you was like, oh, that girl's pretty, but she. That nose has got to go. But now that. Now you got your nose done, it's so stark. It's such a difference. It looks so much better.

[Jackie]

Yeah, but my voice was sexier back then.

[Kevin Clancy]

What happened to your voice? Why'd it change?

[Jackie]

I know it changes when you get a nose job.

[Kevin Clancy]

Really? Oh, I guess like air or whatever.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

I don't really know exactly what it is.

[Kevin Clancy]

So you lost the hunger, but. But lost your sexy voice. Voice.

[Jackie]

Yeah. Sending money.

[Kevin Clancy]

But then.

[Jackie]

Then I was like, all right, what's up? Because then he, like, start.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean, I'm sure. I'm sure to you. And, you know, you might. Might sound a little different, but it didn't drastically change. That was also. That was a big moment. You know, working with. With producers is. You really got to, like, click with them for it to really work, you know, and sometimes that kind of sucks because it's just like a personal thing. It's like, you could be great, great, great editor and vision and all that. It's like, I just don't, like, click with you, you know? So these two, like, clicking with these two, I think, was so important. And I think a big part for Jackie was when I. When she celebrated that her insurance was going to cover the nose job, it just. I was like, yeah, this is down ass. Like, like, kind of scheming and scamming the system, pumped that you're gonna get your big nose broken and fixed. Someone's gonna cover it. You were like, yeah, yeah, you were pretty. It was pretty early on, but you were still, like, like, very, like, animated, you know, you weren't like, I could see if you were at a new job just being, like, texting your friends, like, oh, my God, I just got the best news, but I'm not gonna, like, sit in front of these guys. You were like.

[John Clancy]

I actually wondering what, like, for you two, I think. I think you two are two pretty established barstool personalities now. What. What shows do you think you would have worked on?

[Kevin Clancy]

Good question.

[John Clancy]

Not here. Not here.

[Kevin Clancy]

Before I got KFC Radio, I interviewed for foreplay, and I thought I had foreplay because I was in South Carolina playing golf. That would work. I was gonna say, you're athletic, you're young, you play golf. You could have slid right in there. They did not. I didn't get that gig. And then a day, I thought that, like, dream was over for working for Horaceville. And then a day later, Nick Hamilton called me and asked if he needed some help for KFC Radio. And then, like, from there on, I was like, I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

[John Clancy]

Nick is a really good hire. I've said that, like, 10 times. Like, he's a really good hire.

[Kevin Clancy]

Let's play. My brother's voicemail mentioned all these people. So we do that. Yeah.

[John Clancy]

Oh, yeah. Wait, what would your show have been?

[Jackie]

I don't know.

[John Clancy]

I don't know where you would have worked to become who you Are.

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't know if you would have become who she is, but she. I mean, you could easily work with any of the girl franchises. I feel like.

[Jackie]

Yeah, I feel like.

[John Clancy]

But that. I don't think she would be.

[Kevin Clancy]

She wouldn't be Jackie.

[John Clancy]

That's what I mean. Maybe I have a poor understanding of, like, what those shows do, but, like, I feel like you have this sense of humor that kind of only. Not only would have worked here, but I think. I think here was the right place totally for you.

[Jackie]

And this was like, kind of the only, like, bar because. Wait, I'm sorry, West coast, like, it wasn't. Barstow wasn't really a thing. Everyone just kind of knew it as, like, the Instagram account.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

So then KFC radio was only like, barstool. I knew. So I don't know if I would have, like, been.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, that's where I do think, Casey Radio was a good, like, little haven for. If you weren't gonna, like, specialize in a sport or whatever. It's just like, give us your. Your tired, you're poor, you're huddled.

[John Clancy]

We're the misfit island of barstool sports. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. And. And because it's about a little bit of everything, it could be like, yeah, like, I'll tell a story about my nose and my fin dom and my dates and all that. Like, if it was. If you're on Chicks in the Office and they're just talking pop culture, I don't know if you can ever work in your fin dom thing. Yeah. Yeah. So it was kind of free, right, to do all that. But.

[John Clancy]

But it also probably shows my ignorance of other shows. Like, I'm sure they don't just talk about pop culture. I'm sure they have plenty of stories that they're totally. I'm sure every podcast is exactly the fucking same.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, yeah. But speaking of all the producers, I got a very important OG original audio voicemail to play.

[John Clancy]

Audio voice.

[Kevin Clancy]

No video. This is just straight audio. KFC fights. Longtime listener, definitely first time caller. I just wanted to leave this voicemail to say that I'm really proud of you, Gu. For the show that we started, the show that you guys did for so long, and now the show that's ending. Because I know that you guys are both going to go on and do incredible things. I also wanted to give a shout out to the production side of things. Obviously, Jackie and Pavs shout out Nick Hamilton, Logan Spence, Noah from Chicks in the Office, Tommy Lay.

[John Clancy]

There have been a lot of people.

[Kevin Clancy]

That we Needed behind the scenes to keep going. Charlie Wiscoe, all the way back in the day, our first intern. Proud of all those guys.

[John Clancy]

Guys have all gone on to accomplish.

[Kevin Clancy]

Great things as well. But, yeah, again, excited to see where this all goes. Also, wanted to say thank you to the fans. It's been really cool to see some people leave comments and, you know, sort of say that, like, they kind of grew up with KFC radio. It was great to have Dan back. Yeah. So I'm definitely nostalgic about it ending, but again, excited for both of you guys to move on, and I hope that the fans will check out whatever we do next. Yeah. And. And thank you, guys. It definitely changed my life. I was working in real estate when we started this. I used to have to book conference rooms to set up the recordings, and you guys would Skype in together and. Yeah, you know, we did.

[John Clancy]

We did a lot of cool stuff.

[Kevin Clancy]

And it's on to new things. So, yeah, congrats. And. And thank you guys. Yeah. All right.

[John Clancy]

It's weird to leave a voicemail for the first time after all these years.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's gonna make me cry. Thanks again.

[John Clancy]

Hell, yeah. This is gay. I was gonna let you have first word back. Oh, now who's rubbing their eyes like a baby?

[Kevin Clancy]

Do the final ver.

[John Clancy]

It's.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's. It's a cool thing to be able to do with your family, you know?

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, you guys have become family, but that's cool. I think I was gonna get this upset. Have to edit some of this.

[John Clancy]

No, it all stays in.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's a cool thing, though. Like, I don't think many people get to do something like that with their brother. You know, it's like, well, that's maybe not Dr. I don't know. There's family businesses and whatever, but it's.

[John Clancy]

Cool to do with him.

[Kevin Clancy]

And then it all happened for me because of him. Never done this. I don't know why I've cried this much. Sounds like I'm sad, but I'm really not. But it was just, like, it was not on my radar. I. I was just going to blog, you know, and I think the. The part of me that is always, like, trying to do more is because of him.

[John Clancy]

Pretty nice to have a good big brother.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, for sure. All right, what's next?

[John Clancy]

Is it. Is it particularly special? Because, like, I feel like you guys liked this kind of stuff growing up, so, like, it was.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Well, that's what's funny is, like, I. I feel like I was into it because of sports Radio and that kind of stuff. He was not like Micah, the Mad Dog type junkie like I was. He was more like into tech, into like the social media platforms, whatever was going to be next. So in that sense, it kind of came together where it was like, that's.

[John Clancy]

Almost exactly what I mean. Yeah, yeah, right.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like what he was telling me to do, like, he was sort of like. And he wasn't like, you know, this is a guarantee. He was just like, you, you're, you're doing the written word, and I think the next step for you is some sort of of, you know, dynamic content. And at that time it was podcasting and he, but he was really beating that drum for a while and, and I, I, I told him this after the fact too, because he's, I mean, he's always like, he, he pushed the podcast, then he was pushing Tik Tok when he was, Musically, he was telling me, even Twitter, he was the one who set up all the barstool Twitter accounts. So whatever, whether it was a platform, a medium, a style, he was always the one telling me to do it. And I told him that, like, like, he would tell me to do something for like six months and I would always know it was like, correct.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

But I would just be like, I'm not gonna do that right now. Or like, I don't know how to do that, or maybe I don't love that idea. But I was like, always just keep, like peppering me because when they hit, they hit, you know, and they probably all would have hit, but there's just like, I can't do everything. Like, you know, I remember him telling all the girls, like, get on musically and do tick tock, because it's easy for a girl to lip sing and do that for a guy. It's like, like, that's not going to work for me. But you're not wrong. So I, but I just told him, like, keep knocking down my door with these things and eventually I'll get around to doing it or I'll buy into it or we go. And, and he just like, always kept it up. So there was always, you know, even one minute man. Like, truly, everything I've done has at least originated with him saying, like, this is probably a pretty good idea to go do that. And then the fact that I did like Mike and the Mad Dog and sports radio was like, oh, yeah. If he was telling me to do something that was totally foreign to me, I don't know if it would have worked. So, yeah, it came together really well. And then I remember when Dave was like, I. I just always assumed, like, he said he would, like, sneak up to a conference room and set this thing up and then edit it as quick as he could. And I just kind of assumed that was the way it was gonna go. We were making, like, a little bit of money on, like, shows or the pream team or whatever, so I was, like, trying to pay him that way, but I thought, there's no way that's it, you know? And I remember when we were. When Dan, actually, I don't remember when it was.

[John Clancy]

I don't remember.

[Kevin Clancy]

I maybe was just moving to New York.

[John Clancy]

I think it was moving New York.

[Kevin Clancy]

We're just, like, talking about building things out. And he was sort of like, what about your brother? Dave said that? And I was like, oh. I also. It's. Unfortunately, it's probably one of the situations where I would have been more inclined to push for someone who wasn't my family. If it was just, like, a producer, I'd be like, yo, we gotta hire this guy.

[John Clancy]

Like, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

I was like, do I just feel, like, nepotism? And I'm, like, pushing him to do it, even though he deserved it, for sure. I totally. So I never brought it up. But when he did, he was like, I could see something with, like, the, you know, two Irish brothers, like, a brother thing, like, is a good storyline. And I was like, oh, that's on the table. Like, yeah, let's go. So, I mean. And I. I. I for sure, kind of take that for granted now. The fact that, like, you know, I. I know some people who have siblings who. They're like, yeah, they're in my life, but they live across the country, and I don't ever see them or, like, we don't get along or whatever it is, you know, and the fact that, like, not only do we get along, but, like, we work together and grew this thing, you know, we're dead one day. I. I hope the story is, like, they built a little. Little podcast empire within the barstool thing, you know? So I think that's a cool story to. To be able to reminisce on and, like. Very cool. Yeah, it's fun. That was one other point I was gonna make. Brother sibling.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, all right, whatever.

[Kevin Clancy]

What else? Let's. Let's. Let's. Let's do some more fun. We'll do a couple more. I mean, there's a lot on this list, and I. It's hard for me to be, like, I don't know which ones to Leave off. Because we can't keep going forever.

[John Clancy]

But, dude, I'm so mad. I saw this one on the list. Play it, because I have. I did this yesterday with something.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, I did too.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, I did too.

[Kevin Clancy]

I meant to write it down. It was another one. That was really stupid of me.

[John Clancy]

I actually, I might have. I don't think I did.

[Kevin Clancy]

But also along the same line as ribeye, I never thought of prime rib as the ribs. There's another one.

[John Clancy]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

There was definitely one that I. There's definitely one where it was like the word is right in it. And I. What? Yeah. What I'm learning is I. I will just take like a name of anything at face value and just be like, that's what it's called.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Never think about why it's called that.

[John Clancy]

Good name.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, we haven't even. People don't even know if you're listening. We were talking about how we didn't know that scarecrows. Well, John didn't know that scarecrows are two. Scarecrows. Let's literate.

[Jackie]

Or crows. Like, what?

[Kevin Clancy]

Look at that nose. Jackie, why are you afraid of humans?

[John Clancy]

Aircras are for crows. Yep. That makes sense. You said it so earnestly.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's worse than me not knowing that tortilla chips are made out of tortillas.

[John Clancy]

This is embarrassing.

[Kevin Clancy]

This started out as a make fun of Jackie segment. She's been totally vindicated. Her and her mom are brilliant. And you, sir, are the dumbest boy of the day. I'm watching the wheels spin. Scarecrows are for crows. Oh, yep. Okay. That was unbelievable.

[John Clancy]

Are you telling me that the job of scarecrows is to scare away crows?

[Kevin Clancy]

By the way. Way, Is this all your sun in era? Is that why your hair's so light? Or that.

[John Clancy]

My son in the era was a few years long. I was going to say it was a long time. And I used to.

[Kevin Clancy]

In. In. In hindsight, like when. When it was happening, when I was in it, I. I don't think I noticed. Totally been looking at it now. It's like this.

[John Clancy]

Your hair is yellow. D. I never noticed it either. I be like, yeah, this is like. I would actually be like, it's a bummer. This stuff doesn't work.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, it was working. Yeah, I remember. I remember saying that, like, oh, I guess that's not a thing. It's like. It's very clear. It also makes your skin paint blinker.

[John Clancy]

Oh, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You look super pink.

[John Clancy]

I look.

[Kevin Clancy]

You're pink and yellow. You're a Pack of starbursts right now. Dude, you're. You're pink, yellow. Your. Your mustache and beard's a little bit orange.

[John Clancy]

You to bleed a little bit elderly Muslim, man. Is it Muslims who do that? Remember they put like the orange beard Muslim, right?

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't know if we're correct, but that's what I thought of.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, I mean, that.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's a clip to show to Ms. Pat. Like, what are you? I'm a white guy. No, you pink.

[John Clancy]

Islam.

[Kevin Clancy]

Go to, go to. Go to best starto. This is a deep cut. This is an old school one. This is back when we had callers that would, like, leave names and nickname, you know what I mean? Like, this guy's like, I am Bastardo the barber. Yeah, John looks 16 here. Look, you can see I got a sling on. That was during one of my surgeries. I just want your take on a situation. Dan looks like a school shooter. This is outrageous, this story. I don't even know if it's true or not. We got to talk about it.

[John Clancy]

We're a genius. So I'm seeing this girl and we're hooking up quite a bit, and she does not shave down there. So I wanted to switch it up because I have no way. So I go into role play and pretend to be this barber, Bastardo the barber. So in that sense, I not only get to role play, but I get to shave her pussy without making it seem like I'm an asshole. So that's one way to get you pretty brilliant to trim down under. So I just wanted to know if the role playing of a barber is a genius. If I'm crazy and should be locked up in a mental institution, just let me know.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm saying, lock this dude up and throw away the key right now. That's pretty. Like, do you even name your role playing? Barber, Barber, Bastardo the barber. I mean, here's the thing.

[John Clancy]

Hang on, you guys, don't. You don't think he's a genius?

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't. There's all my lines.

[Jackie]

Fine.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's exactly what I was talking about with when we did the new episode that you. You right there, you became that guy again.

[John Clancy]

What do you mean?

[Kevin Clancy]

When you were like, so you leave the streaks in the top?

[John Clancy]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

It was very like, that is. That was your role in the show to be like, well, hang on a second. I think this. Are you guys.

[John Clancy]

Do you agree or disagree?

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, that was such a key part. Part of all this, because it was always. You could take two Sides of every argument. And we always had a disagreement, but it wasn't like a fight disagreement.

[John Clancy]

But like, what?

[Kevin Clancy]

I bet you. I bet you said the phrase. Well, hang on a second.

[John Clancy]

A billion times on this show.

[Kevin Clancy]

You guys don't think he's a genius? Between genius and insanity, Jon, I think. Okay, let me, Let me, Let me. Let me talk this through.

[John Clancy]

I thought this was clear cut genius.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think it is a very awkward conversation to have if you're hooking up with a chick who doesn't shave or she misses spots, like, back by her butts. Hairy. You know what I mean? When that shit happens, it's definitely awkward to be like, yo. Because basically you're saying like, yo, you're gross. Like, that's disgusting. You disgust me. Fix that. That's an awkward situation. I can get why people don't want to do that. You know what's way, way more awkward than that? Shaving a girl's pussy. Yes.

[John Clancy]

I would be so scared. I would be terrified.

[Kevin Clancy]

I've made one of those Nigerian warlords that fucking circumcise sizes women. What the are you doing, dude?

[John Clancy]

And lips can't bring a. You can't bring a razor to a. That's crazy. That's insanity, dude. You don't forget how to shave just because it's the. Is so much more sensitive and. What are you talking, dude, When I'm. I'm only like, careful on like a. Like, just like, I'm like, what's that? You're gonna do it dry?

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, if this is in the shower, maybe, but this is gonna be dry.

[John Clancy]

I'm assuming he's a good barber and uses shaving cream.

[Kevin Clancy]

Also a thing. That's also a thing that would happen with this show where like. Like this is already a weird enough argument discussion to be having. But then Dan's.

[John Clancy]

Are you gonna do it dry?

[Kevin Clancy]

No, I mean, why'd you, like.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's just funny to think that we all kind of had different things going on in our heads.

[John Clancy]

Like.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, I pictured it with shaving cream, dude. Like, it's just got to go in.

[John Clancy]

There raw with a razor in the stirrups, bro. Like, what are you talking about? Yeah, everybody has their own vision of it.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wait, I was. I was gonna say we can't play the full five minutes, but this is good. Keep it. You don't wet your face a little before you. I mean, you gotta get a little bit of moisture.

[John Clancy]

That's the whole thing. He does the whole routine. He's bastardo.

[Kevin Clancy]

Whatever.

[John Clancy]

His name is. Listen, listen. The answer to his question and what he needs to do is pretty simple.

[Kevin Clancy]

He just needs to go total bald himself. Shave his balls, shave his whole package. I'm talking like, clean shit, Max. And then show up. And she'll get the clue if you show up. Totally bit and she's got a hairy bush like that. The conversation then comes up. I, I, this is another thing that would happen when he declares, like, here's what you got to do.

[John Clancy]

I think think both of us were.

[Kevin Clancy]

Expecting something a little more like, yeah, okay, that's a good idea, I think, because there's dead silence when he first says, like, you got to shave your balls.

[John Clancy]

And I think we were like.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay, I'll hear it out.

[John Clancy]

But that, I don't think that was like the barber.

[Kevin Clancy]

You don't wet your face a little before you. I mean, you got to get a.

[John Clancy]

Little bit of moisture. Does the whole thing. He does the whole routine. He's bastard, though, whatever his name is. Listen, listen. The answer to his question and what he needs to do is pretty fucking simple.

[Kevin Clancy]

He just needs to go total bald himself.

[John Clancy]

Dead silence. Shave his balls, shave his whole package.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm talking like, clean, shave it to the Max. And then show up. And she'll get the clue if you show up.

[John Clancy]

Totally agree with that. And she's got a conversation for, like, a stark difference. What happened here?

[Kevin Clancy]

This is what I do. Yes. What, what would you say is the best way to approach this topic? Would, would that work if someone all of a sudden. I also think it's a little weird. I think a guy who's fully bicked is, like, weird. You better be like a male porn star or like, from Spain or something.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You're just like a regular dude. Primarily because. Bless you. Bless you.

[John Clancy]

There's another one in there.

[Kevin Clancy]

I. There is nothing less attractive than a flaccid situation. Fully shaved, like, like, you took my little Irish dick and it's just like, smooth. There's something like, alien about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, if a guy. What would, what's the best way to do this?

[Jackie]

I actually don't like, like.

[Kevin Clancy]

I do feel like it's almost really ex. Like, common and expected and accepted at this stage with women. Right.

[John Clancy]

Or not.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, for me, at least growing up, it was kind of like a 50, 50, like, at least when we were younger where it was like, is a girl going to do that? Or like, also, like, there's so much, like, ass play going on that everybody knew to get everything. I. When I was growing up, it was sort of like, in the front, it's good. In the back, it's a disaster. That's why I brought that up for a very specific reason. And I feel like now, like, waxing and it's all just very commonplace. So maybe it's not as much of an issue, but I think this was a delicate thing for guys to navigate back.

[Jackie]

I don't, then I actually don't. Like, it almost has to be because.

[Kevin Clancy]

You don't want to offend, you know?

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, yo, you get rid of that. I, I think if I'm not mistaken, maybe we even talk about it. I think we said, like, get her a, like a gift certificate for like, like, waxing or something. Oh, here you go, baby.

[Jackie]

And then it's like, I would, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Get the hint and, and then you don't have to pay for. It's like, kind of the best way to do it, right?

[Jackie]

Yeah. Maybe like, watch porn together. That's like, you know, fully.

[John Clancy]

That's what I like.

[Kevin Clancy]

What you need to do is watch porn together and somehow have, like, big bush on the page and be like, well, we're not watching that.

[John Clancy]

We're not watching that. Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

That would be gross.

[John Clancy]

If we watch that.

[Kevin Clancy]

Best start. Let me see the list. I want to see if there's a couple others that, that jog my memory. I, you know, I, I cried about my brother. We're all family. But I think one of the most wholesome clips ever from this show. The Woes of Cardoza.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, my God, bro, you, you, you have so many looks on this show. I was thinking about it especially because I, I shaved recently and I've cut my hair short again. Again. Like, I think I look pretty similar, you know, you, you, I, I don't know if you're younger, older, like, you have a million looks.

[John Clancy]

I think it's crazy that people who work here don't do this. I, I, I've said it a million times.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm like, don't grow everything out.

[John Clancy]

Like, who cares?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[John Clancy]

It's not like you don't have a client you have to report to. You don't have a dress code or whatever. They're like, you should look like it's not the Yankees. Aren't you a little bit curious what you look like with a ridiculous beard? Figure it out.

[Kevin Clancy]

Out.

[John Clancy]

Just let it grow and figure it out.

[Kevin Clancy]

Dude, your beard was so just like a, just like.

[John Clancy]

Once again, I look like an old Islam man.

[Kevin Clancy]

You're like, Adnan, dude. This one was one of our biggest clips ever. Early on in clip culture, this did like a like 100. I would say it's by far the biggest. I think it's like tens of millions.

[John Clancy]

I don't even think it's a good clip clip. I think it's a good story. I don't think it's a good clip.

[Kevin Clancy]

Let's see. I don't remember the actual clip.

[John Clancy]

I don't think I told the story well this time I was younger. My dad used to convince trying to convince us that his best friend growing up was a man named Woza. Woza Cardoza tell other stories about. And then as we got older, what he started doing was he'd go into gas stations and he'd buy one of those name things for like five bucks bucks. And he'd sign it and he'd come running out to the car. He'd be like, kids. Woza was just here. It was like eight. I was like, God, we missed Woza. And then I'd be like 13. And I'd be like, wow, how's how we always just missing like we used to like fight with my dad. Like, wo is not real. Wo is not real. What do you mean w is not real? He's on the wall. I was like 20 and I was like, I don't know if wo is real. I was at the Newport Saint. I was at a bars Newport Saint Patrick. We get. And they had those kind of things you could buy.

[Kevin Clancy]

Did you do it or was it.

[John Clancy]

Already took a picture. And I texted to my dad and my siblings and my sister just goes, don't even start with this. I was younger, my dad.

[Kevin Clancy]

That and the karate during the drive thru.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Are my those the two most wholesome Fidalberg stories? What. What is that one? You just had to do karate moves.

[John Clancy]

While he had to do it. He would do it and I would drive me nuts. I'd be in the passenger seat, like kicking the dash for me.

[Kevin Clancy]

Stop.

[John Clancy]

Stop doing. You got to know the karate guys.

[Kevin Clancy]

I I remember when you told that story. I my version of that is the marshmallows thing that I I make my kids before they eat a marshmallow, I have to throw it to them. And I was. That was just the rules. Like before you have a marshmallow, you have to earn it by catching it. And I would throw it to them. And they're still doing it to this day.

[John Clancy]

Really?

[Kevin Clancy]

And they know it. They don't like believe it. But like the other day I was on FaceTime with them. Them and they were going to do s' mores at their mom's house. And I oh, s' mores are good. Like, you have the marshmallows. You know the rule. And they were like, mom, mom, we gotta throw the mar. We gotta throw the marshmallows. Throw.

[John Clancy]

Catch.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I'm sure she was like, what.

[John Clancy]

The are you talking about? But it. It still lives on.

[Kevin Clancy]

Now we're. We're catching it in the mouth. So instead of catching it, regular guys.

[John Clancy]

Oh, oh, they catch it when they.

[Kevin Clancy]

Were babies, it was like you could just catch it.

[John Clancy]

Now it's like you were just spiking it at their faces.

[Kevin Clancy]

What was the Cardoza, though?

[John Clancy]

That was a big one, fellas.

[Kevin Clancy]

We all have one of the smallest dicks in the room, so we all need a little bit of help. And that's where bluechew comes in. And bluechew's been doing it for a long time.

I mean Jackie and Paz really put together a very extensive list and looking at them, there's just so many great ones to play. But these, there's a couple more that we can't wrap up without without reminiscence.

[John Clancy]

Also, shout out Trig. Trig used to draw these.

[Kevin Clancy]

Trig Draws is one of the greatest artists of all time. The Trigs of the world, the Milmores of the world, Quigs of the world. The, the, some of the, the, the, the artwork and the clips and the edits that have been made over the years. Truly now that we're like in social media clip era, it's like blatantly obvious and a necessity. But at the time when it was like we Just write blogs and we do audio. They were like, they kind of pioneered this.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

They kind of were like, they created the clips culture because you started to realize, like, oh, wait a minute. This, like well drawn, ridiculous cartoon with our voices over it is as a two minute clip is performing way better than the whole podcast is.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

So it's like that they, they really were very instrumental. I think Barstool's legacy is going to be like being trailblazers without meaning to be like, like a lot of times, like a lot of these entrepreneurs, like the Gary Vee's of the world, those people are like, here's what I think's next and we're doing it. And then they could be like, I told you so. I think we were kind of just like, I don't know, we're doing this thing and it's like, oh, yeah, wait a minute. This ended up being like a revolution. I didn't even realize, but this was one of them. And this, this voicemail might be the most out of all of our ridiculous sex ones. This might be the funniest. So I'm having sex with this kid and haven't had sex with him for 10 years.

[John Clancy]

Stop it already. I love some. So I'm this kid. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Comes across a lot better when it's a girl speaking, but in general, nobody should be saying that. Yeah.

[John Clancy]

All right, guys, what's up? Long time. First time. So I'm this kid, right? Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

But you know what? When you hear the details of this, he was a child.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

So I'm having sex with this kid and haven't had sex with him for two years.

[John Clancy]

And he used to do this all.

[Kevin Clancy]

The time when I wasn't on birth control. He would pull out and I would tell him to come wherever he wanted. And he would always choose his hand. He would come in his free hand. And now he's doing the same exact thing. I mean, we're two years down the road. We're like mid to late 20s, and this kid is pulling out and coming in his hand. So basically my question is, how do I get this guy to come on me? I mean, you can literally even face at this point. How do I get him to do that?

[John Clancy]

He thinks it's disrespectful.

[Kevin Clancy]

And anytime I bring it up, he refuses.

[John Clancy]

Oh, that's not going.

[Kevin Clancy]

He was like, stop coming in your hand.

[John Clancy]

Like, grow up.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean, I remember that being like. First of all, it was very funny because in the, in the actual video, I'll try to track it down. Maybe we can add it for the edit. But we're literally. We fell out of our chairs.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, I remember that.

[Kevin Clancy]

I remember that. And, and Jared was on the show that day and he doesn't say anything. And I talked to him afterwards about it like years later, and he was like, I, I could tell that this was like a moment for your podcast and I wanted it to be like your guys thing and not have the guest like kind of ruin it. And I was like, that's good foresight because it, you know, it obviously was legendary, but it was just such a. Like when you're in your 20s, 20s or anytime you have sex with some girl who says like, you can come anywhere is like the dream in here, in there, on this, you know, like, that's like your entire like, goal as a young man is to get to that. And this guy had it and just did nothing with it.

[John Clancy]

I like the idea of it, it coming like he's turning himself up into a different.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, the way she said freehand is so funny. Funny because if it's all just one thing, but it's like intentional, like.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, like the tube and it's like.

[Kevin Clancy]

Putting like pumping gas, you know, put.

[John Clancy]

It in the thing. He's like an NBA, my brother or NFL athlete. Don't athletes do that? Like they like tie their condom off? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You're not getting this.

[John Clancy]

Free come.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wouldn't that be funny? I. I also. We don't have a clip of this, but I have a tweet saying we have what we dubbed her Come Girl.

[John Clancy]

Girl.

[Kevin Clancy]

We said like, come girls on the next episode and there was like a follow up. It was like a whole saga, really. And I don't remember what it was, but I. I wonder if she convinced him to do it or. Because for all I know, I would love to hear from Come boy. Maybe his side of the story was like, dude, she's a lunatic.

[John Clancy]

Maybe his side of the story was, I'm not trying to get a chick pregnant, guys. She was like, she was acceptable. Yeah, yeah, that's right.

[Kevin Clancy]

But maybe he was like, yeah, this chick's trying to like, get knocked up. And I know her game.

[John Clancy]

I'm coming to my hand on the show. Show too. The same episode.

[Kevin Clancy]

What? What? What's this? Oh. Oh, this is a classic. This is a Felberg classic.

[John Clancy]

My brother. My brother and his stupid girl and this. All these people. Are you kidding? I can't stop saying that. Are you kidding me? Spaghetti arms. This is insanity. Do you remember this? I remember spaghetti arms. I don't remember the situation.

[Kevin Clancy]

That voice, it, it was my brother. I don't know why we have all the details about brothers and sisters and the whole family, but I'm pretty sure this all originated from a voicemail of would you rather have noodly spaghetti arms or stiff spaghetti, like uncooked spaghetti or cooked spaghetti? And I think he posed the question and then I, I, I guess he must have called back in with like a story about his family or, or something, I don't know.

[John Clancy]

I have no idea. I remember spaghetti arms.

[Kevin Clancy]

Remember? Are you you kidding me?

[John Clancy]

Spaghetti arms?

[Kevin Clancy]

You were like offended to your core on that one. I don't know if it was about the actual, I remember doing the, the hypothetical cuz it was like, well, if you have stiff arms you can't like bend your elbows at all, but if you have noodles, you can't like that. I, but I don't know why we were like your family, but. Are you kidding me? Spaghetti arms is, that one's like burned into my brain too.

[Jackie]

Spaghetti arms is like, that was when I was a listener. I remember that.

[Kevin Clancy]

Do you remember what the details were?

[Jackie]

So the guy, the guy calls in, he's like, what's up? It's your boy Spaghetti arm.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, he, he, he was like the bell of the ball.

[Jackie]

Yeah, but I don't remember. But you were just like why the are you describing yourself as spaghetti?

[Kevin Clancy]

You, you. Yeah, I, I, I think he became like he, you know, best start of the barber, like I said so he would be like, yo, what's your boy Spaghetti arm? So it, I don't think it was about the spaghetti arms, but he like called himself that. I'm sure he had some family story, you know? Know, I think you just hated him.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, hated him.

[Jackie]

I could be completely remembering wrong. I think like he was saying like he's not able to get a girl or something or he was like saying like I'm trying to like get this girl and I can't do it. And you're like, well your first problem is that you're calling yourself.

[Kevin Clancy]

Your brother, your sister, your family.

[John Clancy]

Are you kidding me? Spaghetti arms.

[Kevin Clancy]

And so, and you know we would be remiss if we didn't give a shout out to all of the hypotheticals that people came up with because that really was like the, the culture and the lifeblood of the show. We got a list here of some of the biggest, the best ones, of course. Microwave a baby for $10,000 and no one would know. How many seconds would you do the Christopher Columbus debate. We just did the, the, the midget and the Rollerblade was like, still to this day, I don't think I've ever heard anybody else do that one.

[John Clancy]

Or that's just. That's also like, would you rather have a rollerblade on one foot or a girlfriend?

[Kevin Clancy]

A small person with a bad attitude that moves too slow is a girl.

[John Clancy]

What a great, like, little twist on.

[Kevin Clancy]

That question, that joke. It took 15 years to land the punchline, but there it is. This is a classic one. Would you rather come like a pig, which means you have one 30 minute orgasm, or the ability to come like a lion, which is 90 times a day?

[John Clancy]

Alan. I, I probably always said pig, but boy would come in for 30 minutes.

[Kevin Clancy]

Really up my day. That's too much. That's too long. Anything for 30.

[John Clancy]

Talking earlier, like, look, if you're gonna do Snapchat, that's my whole day. 30 minute orgasm.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's my comeback.

[John Clancy]

I don't have time for else. Bro, would you.

[Kevin Clancy]

Whether or not you could take over the world in the year 1200? I remember. Oh, if you had a single tank. Yeah. So if you got dropped into like medieval times with, with a tank, you were always very logical about those. You were like, well, all right, I could kill a bunch of people with a tank. But, like, then what?

[John Clancy]

I. Yeah, but I also think now I think, like, if I want, the second I blow up a building, I'll just get out of tank and be.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, I am your God.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, I'm God. Welcome.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right?

[John Clancy]

Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Maybe not that specific one, but there was always like a. If you could go back in time with an iPhone, could you, like, you know, invent all the technology and cure the world and stuff? You're like, I just sit on my iPhone and scroll Twitter.

[John Clancy]

I don't even use this thing.

[Kevin Clancy]

Why would I be able to take over the world?

[John Clancy]

I don't know how to. I don't know how to use the pictures app on this goddamn phone. Like, what are you talking about?

[Kevin Clancy]

What's the oldest age. You could beat everyone up in that age in the world. That was a good one too, because there's always like 1-8-year-old in Russia who's like, punching a tree, but they're like.

[John Clancy]

They'Re 8 years old. They're the size of this bottle.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, this is, you know, I don't.

[John Clancy]

Know why this just made me think of that. But another great RICO line was, we'll see what happens once. Once I got three Coronas in me later. Yeah, that was Good.

[Kevin Clancy]

He goes, he goes, he goes. Talk to me later. When I got three Coronas in you and I stuff you in a closet.

[John Clancy]

The oldest age, I, I would still it. I don't think my oldest age, I could beat everyone up. I don't think that's really wavered. I think it's still probably 10.

[Kevin Clancy]

You think there's a, an 11 year old that could beat you up?

[John Clancy]

Probably.

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't. I think you sell yourself short. Me? Yes. I think you could beat up every.

[John Clancy]

Like, it's just a size thing though. Like, honestly the answer is probably more like six because like there is a freakish seven year old.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. But there's still like, like you just one punch them and they're done. They're still babies. Yeah, I think, I think 12. Cuz there are like some 6th graders now who are like getting scouted for the NBA and they look like a man, you know? And I still think if you were to just clock them in the face, they would be like, I've never, oh.

[John Clancy]

First thing I do, any kid I'm fighting.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right? Yeah, I was thinking that too. I don't know why I was thinking that too.

[John Clancy]

Take away his ability to move. Now you're in my world, kid.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like you're torturing. Yeah, dude, you were supposed to just beat him up. Why are you pulling out his fingernails?

[John Clancy]

Got a bad limp? Your hip hurts? Now we'll have a fight, bud. Yeah, now you're on my playing field.

[Kevin Clancy]

I always think about when Joe Rogan was talking about like somebody was talking to him and, and he was talking about like talking on podcasts is very different than like face to face. And they would never say this to my face. And he was sort of like, he goes, I'll break both your arms and leave you right there, dude. And I, I think John just snapping the arms of like sixth graders being like, now what? What now you don't have any legs or arms. Would you rather wait on a platform for a train that will never come or wait for the microwave to never finish while heating your meal up? That's an interesting one.

[John Clancy]

It's an interesting one for sure.

[Kevin Clancy]

I, I, I think I would rather deal with the microwave because at the end of the day I'd be like, all right, I'll just eat my cold food. When you are commuting in New York and you're waiting for a subway and like the, the when they instituted like how many minutes are left? That was a world, the world's changing. Yeah, cuz and it was, it's never anymore. Unless it's like late night or you're taking a weird line. Sometimes that's like 14 minutes. It's never any more than like five.

[John Clancy]

It's like four minutes max.

[Kevin Clancy]

But that those four minutes feel like an eternity. And when you don't know and you see a light coming, you're like, ah, no, it's the express or whatever. When you feel the, you feel like gust of wind. You're like, it's almost here and it's not. That one is brutal. How long would it take you to eat through an entire grocery store? Is a great one. That's a classic. I, I still don't really know the answer. You could tell me. Yeah, I mean like a scientist who could figure this out could tell me that it would take like months or like decades and I'd be like, okay.

[John Clancy]

I don't know, everything would expire long.

[Kevin Clancy]

Way before you could do it. Yeah, yeah. Would you.

[John Clancy]

Is that one Mr. Beast? Did I think he did something similar?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, yeah. Yes, he did.

[John Clancy]

That's one I think it was.

[Kevin Clancy]

Sometimes I wonder if Jimmy is just sitting at home watching Casey radio hypotheticals like, let's make this happen. How long would it take you to drink all the water in above ground pool?

[John Clancy]

I just picture less than a grocery store.

[Kevin Clancy]

You're sitting there gulping like biting the.

[John Clancy]

Water like beer fest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Until it's just gone around you.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Would you rather start every conversation or have every conversation started by someone else?

[John Clancy]

Oh, easy. Started by someone else. Easy.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, you're probably right.

[John Clancy]

But basically how my. That's a life right now.

[Kevin Clancy]

Do that. Yeah, but no. Yeah, that's the answer. Yeah. I mean that. You're gonna end up in a lot of bad conversations. We're like, why are we talking about this? And it's like, oh, yeah, because I am not allowed to start my own conversations. But that, that's right.

[John Clancy]

Because of this fictional hell I live in.

[Kevin Clancy]

Genies keep with me. Stranded in Jurassic park or Jumanji. That was a heated debate as well.

[John Clancy]

Jurassic Park.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[John Clancy]

Jurassic Park's not actively trying to kill you.

[Kevin Clancy]

Everything in Jumanji down to like the grass is trying to kill you. It's like in Jurassic park, stay away from the raptors. Stay. You could like hang out with the brontosaurus. Like, like 75 of the park is probably day.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

There's just a few problems with the, the, the herbivore. No, the carnival carnivores. Yeah. Oh, and here's a good one. Oh, that's actually a twist. I was gonna say, are there more porn stars or murderers? That was a big one. This one. Is there more porn stars or dead bodies in the ocean?

[John Clancy]

The.

[Kevin Clancy]

Is that one porn stars or murderers? We got legs out of that. That was like guests asked that question and like, we, we, we. We talked about, about. And I still don't. Nowadays, if you include only fans and it doesn't. It's lights out.

[John Clancy]

It's a lot harder now if it's.

[Kevin Clancy]

If you're talking like vivid Pictures, vixen browsers that sort of. There's far less of those. And I think, as always, we go back to murderers are the people that we caught and we know of. There's a lot of people getting away with murder.

[John Clancy]

Most of them.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right. A lot of them just murder and they're gone. And they're like, I'm a murderer and no one knows it. Much like, you know, only fans, anonymous girls. But that was. Was those were the. The type of, you know, brain teasers that kept us up for like a decade. At night, I'd be sitting there, man, I can't believe John thinks it's murderers. Definitely porn stars. This idiot. I can't wait to talk to him tomorrow. The hypotheticals were a great one. The voicemail, the video voicemails was a great era. Getting to put a face to everyone's voice and name. Yeah, I forgot that.

[John Clancy]

That wasn't like, like, that's.

[Kevin Clancy]

That wasn't standard.

[John Clancy]

That wasn't standard. Yeah. That was pretty recent years.

[Kevin Clancy]

Within a few years.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. And then, you know, sometimes I think maybe we. Maybe it was a bad move to go away from voicemails. But like anything else, it was kind of natural where it was just like it. We didn't have the excitement for it. We had done every silly conversation and. But I also think that, like, you know what? The show probably would have taken a different turn. I think if I were to open up voicemails now with our audience, they would be like, you know, my kid is doing XYZ and like, what do you think I should do as a parent? Yeah, it could have been interesting, but it just would not have been the same show. I think we kind of all. All aged out of that. I want to wrap up on this. Do you have any regrets?

[John Clancy]

Regrets? No. Things I do differently, of course.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, I get. Yeah, I guess semantics game. Like, yeah, there's nothing that, like, I'm like.

[John Clancy]

But the things I do differently isn't like, major, like, anything. A regret, I think is something major. Yeah, I do. Of course, I do the little things differently. I wish, like, I, I, I, I've said this a few times now. I think I have a better understanding of interviewing now. Now that I probably wish I could have done a little bit better on for some people.

[Kevin Clancy]

Also, in our defense, and this is the whole story of Barstool, when you don't have a PR team and a management team and nobody. There's no training or anything. And we had such a meteoric rise where it's like, most people, by the time they're getting to sit down with a list, superstars have been doing it for, like, 30 years.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

We've been doing it for, like, two. And it was like, here, interview this. This, like, incredibly seasoned and wildly successful actor. And I'm sure. And I think a lot of time I, I, I still maintain. And I think unless they're all lying to us, we had a lot of people. The vast majority would leave the studio being like, that was really fun.

[John Clancy]

I was gonna say really good.

[Kevin Clancy]

I, so much better than my other interviews. Oh, I'm dreading the next one I have to go to. Publicist would follow up and be like, yo. He said that was his favorite of the year. So I think we did do a good job. But I'm also sure maybe, maybe part of that was that they were like, oh, these don't know what they're talking about.

[John Clancy]

But, like, like, everything. Right. Like, I almost wouldn't want, want to be able to do it better because I don't even know if it's better. Like, it was perfect for what it had to be. Yeah. Like, like you're 100, right? People coming on all the time be like, this is the greatest thing I've ever done.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[John Clancy]

Helfrey just did it six days ago.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[John Clancy]

Like, this is what.

[Kevin Clancy]

I guess there are. Yeah, there are people. If you're just used to, like, the, the, the old school interviews, they don't even know it can be like this.

[John Clancy]

Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know, I just hope that that also comes with, like. And it was a good conversation.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And you ask good questions. Not just like, oh, yeah, it's cool. We could put our feet up on the couch. Couch also, you guys, like, we had a compelling conversation, you know?

[John Clancy]

But I don't know. I, I, like, regrets is just such a hard word.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay. But, yeah, maybe not that harsh, but, like, things that you think we would have, like, done been better off had we done xyz.

[John Clancy]

I, I think we, I think we should have put more effort into Touring. Yeah, I think. I think that one. But, like, I also wasn't. I wasn't good at it. I. I wasn't having fun either. But I always remember read Oar always telling me, Jerry in particular, like, don't.

[Kevin Clancy]

Stop touring tour, that that would be. I think my. I. I do have a regret that I think is like, a big one in that I guess the whole, like, overarching thing would be, like, to have gone for it more. Like, I think I was like jack of all trades, master of none. I had like, 10 different things going on.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And. And I used to, like, pride myself on that. And I still do pride myself, but it was also like, probably, like, strategically not the best move. And it's like maybe had I just dropped the radio show, dropped the Mets podcast, dropped the second podcast, dropped the rundown, and we just did. Much, like, I always give credit to Riggs and foreplay.

[John Clancy]

Like, we're doing golf. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And if it was like, you know what? And I guess to. This is my big regret or my big, like, the only disappointment pointing part is I think we had a really big head start on people. And I feel like we fumbled in that sense. Like. Yeah. When I look at the other people who started in our era, era, they ended up being. They're all. Almost all, like. I shouldn't say all because I'm sure there's a bunch that were like, us that maybe didn't they all become, like, mega stars, you know? And I'm like, I. I see similar shows that are thriving, and I'm like, that was us and could have been us. Why wasn't it us? And I just. So I run through my head of like, we should have committed to touring more or we should have gone five days a week or, you know, everything else and just do all your content here. I always wanted to be on YouTube earlier. Those things like that where it's just like, when you have a head start and the world kind of catches up to you, you feel like, ah, we should have kept that for sure.

[John Clancy]

But also, how could you possibly have a regret? Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

How.

[John Clancy]

Where it started, where things went and that.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's also the thing is not having a plan. Like, when that's not your plan and your goal, you're like, I don't know. Just, I'm just gonna go wherever it takes me. Yeah. You know, and. But yeah, I would have liked. Yeah, I would like. I said I would love to have been a part of the. The Netflix conversation. I would have loved to. To be one of these People who can sell out the Garden. Because we kept touring, I think we did a good job with guests, but we could have just, like, kept doing more of that maybe. And so. But, yeah, those aren't really regrets. Those are just like, Yeah, I wish. I wish things were a little bit better like anything else in life. But if. If. If you told me there was a world where if we. If I. We went for it more or whatever, and it meant that I don't, like, have the same love for this show and feelings for it that I do. Like, if you told me, okay, you guys are going to be able to sell out the Garden, but it's going to come at the expense of, like, everybody kind of hated doing it, and it became work, and we were like, we're making money and we're successful, but, like, this sucks.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't know if I would have signed up for that, because I do. I do. I. I really enjoyed every single time I did it. It was not like a. Never a. Maybe one episode here or there, but there was never a chunk of time that I was like, like, I don't want to do this anymore.

[John Clancy]

It was very, very shockingly easy.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[John Clancy]

Yeah, it was easy. Like. Like. Like really, like. Like, the greatest gift of it is like, I haven't had a job my whole life. Do I have regrets? No, man. I've never had a job. How can you have a regret when you don't have a job? Dude, I get up every day. Day, and I do whatever the I want and make cool with my friends. No, I don't have regrets.

[Kevin Clancy]

All right, we'll wrap up. I want to thank you guys. I. I think they were.

[John Clancy]

They.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think, kind of saved a lot of things in my mind.

[John Clancy]

I would agree with that very strongly.

[Kevin Clancy]

Because I think maybe there was a period of time where I was about to be sick of it, and then they, like, brought some youth into it.

[John Clancy]

It's. Dude. I compared you guys not to your faces, obviously, but to, like, Charlie McAvoy. When Charlie McAvoy came in to the Bruins and added three to five years on today. No. Char's career, where it was like, everyone was just, like, jacked up to play with, like, the new puppy. And he's like, dude, this guy makes this fun again. Yeah. Like, that was a hundred percent, you guys, it.

[Kevin Clancy]

You infused some youth, some energy. Like, you both are very passionate and good at what you do. It was like. Like having someone hands on that was like, even just up until, like, right now, like, Jackie was like, what are we doing next? And Pav is showing me designs for like a new studio and I didn't even ask for it. And like, they're ready to just keep going. I. I think without that it probably would have like gotten stale or whatever, you know.

[John Clancy]

One, like, yeah. Without you two. Absolutely. Like, by far.

[Kevin Clancy]

I just want to, I want to share my favorite KFC radio story. My favorite day. It was when we flew out to la. We got to LA and then Jackie brought us to that sushi spot that was on top of.

[John Clancy]

It was on the top.

[Kevin Clancy]

The highest hill in la. We climbed a mountain.

[John Clancy]

I was sweating so much I took my shirt off. I was like, we're gonna have dinner when we get up.

[Kevin Clancy]

We were hopping over fences to get there.

[John Clancy]

When we got there, we were like, water bartenders were like, here you go. Like, and then we, we said something like.

[Kevin Clancy]

We just walked up here and he was like. We said, how many people you think you've walked up here?

[John Clancy]

And he was like, 0,04.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. To this day we're the only people.

[John Clancy]

To have walked to that restaurant at base camp. So sure. It's like zero. Wrong, buddy.

[Kevin Clancy]

Dinner was great though. And then afterwards we went back to our hotel and like, you could see the Hollywood sign from the rooftop. They went up there and like a random sick band was playing and it was packed. And then me and John drank until 4 in the morning. And then that was the night that I got caught in my underwear in the middle. Yeah. I woke up the next morning. I called you because I like, couldn't sleep, I was so anxious. I called you and like, you got breakfast with me. I told you the whole story. That night I went on stage and like, that was the first time in like, I was just thinking to myself, like, I was like, wow, there's something like you got yourself involved in something really special here. Or flashback. A year before that I was, you know, getting out of college and I absolutely no idea what I was going to do. Like, had no. Really never cared about anything that much my entire life where like, I like basketball. I got into film a little bit. I was just editing basketball videos. I had no idea what I was going to do. And then I felt a purpose and, and a motivation here that I'd never felt my entire life. And I just really wanted to want to thank you guys. And I hope that one day I can, you know, make you guys proud and pay. You already did.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Really, that really means the world. That is a. It's a very like, touching, funny thing to be like, so that moment that I got stuck in the lobby of my underwear was when I knew I was a part of something special.

[John Clancy]

It is such a, it's true though. It's like.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I hope it felt like I remember. I, I, I, I, I would imagine you probably had some panic, but like, I hope it was like, I mean, there was never a doubt. It was just like, it's just funny. Like it was never going to be like, oh, bro, you like, you got to clean it up.

[John Clancy]

Like, oh, we got material for tonight. It's all a good thing, you know, it was an awesome thing to be.

[Kevin Clancy]

Able to turn your failures or your most embarrassing moments into like, oh, what would be, brother?

[John Clancy]

That's, that's the one thing I think.

[Kevin Clancy]

We can take credit for. We gave the Internet the blueprint on how to turn negatives and positives make your shitty life into content. Laugh about it, man.

[Jackie]

Yeah, I remember that trip. Like you guys were like, my parents had come too, and my mom was just talking about this last night. Cuz she was getting emotional about the ending because like, she was saying that she was so worried sick when like I went. Cuz I went like in the middle of college, like senior year.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

Which like, was a normal time to go. But I'm kind of like an irresponsible whatever. Just like I can, I just like send my kid off into the world, like, you know, east coast, whatever. And then like, she was just so grateful that it was like I found like my family here, you know, whatever. You guys like, looked out for me and like I literally had like the most random roommates or whatever.

[Kevin Clancy]

But like, you guys like an Albanian.

[Jackie]

Yeah, I was like the Turkish woman, like the other guy or whatever. But yeah, and then you guys just like instantly like I, it was so. I didn't even realize, like, what a blessing it was to have like a, you know, family here. Like, I would hear other people complaining, being like, oh, like this person's nightmare to work with or whatever, but I just like always had like the best. You guys are like, there were so many times when like I was crying in the studio and you guys were like, so sweet to me and just. I like, cannot thank you guys enough.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think that feeling was mutual though, because especially with all the pivoting. It was like when it was like the three of us, it was like, all right, me, you and Dan have a show. And then like when, when he left, it was like, like just us. And then Nick came in and it was like. But it was kind of like an added thing. So at one point, I felt like it was just me and John.

[John Clancy]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know, and. And. And we could. We could have just done that forever. But it doesn't have the same feel as, like, a team. Like, Like, I have a team of producers, and they each play their role in the work, but also just, like, in the dynamic of the group. That made it feel like, all right, we have a team that I can, like, go into this next era with, like, and. And be, like, a franchise.

[John Clancy]

You know, I. I would say this probably sounds very counterintuitive because we're ending the show. I would say this wasn't the best version of the show, but this is the best team that put the show together. Yes, agreed.

[Kevin Clancy]

100 agreed that. That. And that's not the best version is more just like a serendipity thing and dance of such a talent, a timing thing. But as far as, like, when I felt the most comfortable, I never really even, like.

[John Clancy]

And it's not.

[Kevin Clancy]

Not take away from anybody else.

[John Clancy]

Not from anybody else. It's just the. The. The way I feel with the four of us in the room is. Just didn't have the same feeling with other people.

[Kevin Clancy]

I've always said that you need to be, like, comfortable around your producers first and foremost. And, like, I was never embarrassed to be on camera in front of you guys or to mess up in front of you guys or ask, you know, anything I've ever asked of you guys did for you to.

[John Clancy]

Don't get give a. About their opinion.

[Kevin Clancy]

And then there's you, bro.

[John Clancy]

Wait, never mind. Nothing, nothing. I got nothing. It's. There's nothing to, like. It feels weird to, like, even say anything. Like, we're walking the same way. It's all like. We're all going down the same street, dude.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, it's a big, awkward goodbye. Like, oh, you're going to your car too. Okay.

[John Clancy]

Yeah. You're parked up there. Yeah, we're going the same way.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, but. But it. It was very. It was. It was important. I think it was very cool to add somebody who was like an intern in the beginning and then become like, a full partner. And it's cool.

[John Clancy]

The. The.

[Kevin Clancy]

I hate how much, like, like once or whatever. It's like a little sentimental now. It's like, all right, dude, you're just doing a podcast, like you said. It's like, like, shut up.

[John Clancy]

The. No, I'm. I'm. I'm insanely lucky to be here.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yes.

[John Clancy]

Good, good, good. Thank God. Thank God. No, I'm we were talking about it the other day with, like, how on the booze cruise, like, if you just didn't like my joke, I never would have been here.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[John Clancy]

And, like, there's 10,000 things, Ten thousand things in my life, in my career. I wouldn't be here if Kevin Clancy didn't make a certain decision. So I'm very, very, very, very, very lucky to be here. And it's fun.

[Kevin Clancy]

It was fun. It was a great ride. That feeling is mutual, though, because it's like, I could have probably tried to do the podcast by myself, but I really needed, like, like a partner, like a ride or die to do it with me, and you were that guy. And then I also, I don't think, like, there's not many shows that I think could have survived losing a talent like Dan. And then whether, like you said, the best iteration of it, the best, I'm sure there. There's many people who think, like, that was the best form of it, but, like, undeniably, like, the. The biggest and the most successful and money wise and opportunity wise and guests and all that occurred when it was us. And I think there's a lot of other people where that show would have just been kaput after, After a change like that. And I think the fact that we only continued to go up, at least in, in all those other metrics, I think is a testament to what me and you have. And I also am so grateful that there is no beef, no drama, no behind the scenes fighting, no, like, you know, I feel like every other duo. Oh, you hear, oh, they couldn't even be in the same room unless they were recording and like, all that stuff. And there has never even been like, a shred of that.

[John Clancy]

Like, I, I barely.

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't think I've ever even been, like, frustrated with you or like, anything like that, let alone mad or fighting or, you know, it's always just been, like, really easy.

[John Clancy]

I saw someone saying that recently about some couple or something like that, and they're like, if you're not fighting, you're not a real couple. And I was like, I don't think that's true, dude.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[John Clancy]

I don't fight. I don't fight with the good relationships in my life. Yeah, the people I have a good relationship with, we don't fight.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[John Clancy]

And I. That's been 16, 17 years of never having a fight.

[Kevin Clancy]

And so maybe that's rare or lucky. Like, other people don't find that, or when they do find it, they fight and pick fights or whatever. It Is. It was lucky. And I think it was. It was a little, like, natural. Whatever reason, we just, like, fell into place. Place. And I never. I never questioned it, like, since the. Since the. The joke about the. The shovel hitting you, the dick and the magician's answer, I was like, yeah, this guy's it. And then from there, it was like 15 years of success and fun. So I, you know, you say, like, if. If I didn't. If I didn't like your joke, maybe none of it would have happened. But I. I liked your jokes. I did. I thought your jokes were good. It turns out the. The rest of the world agrees because we've had a great deal of success. So thank you. Thank you guys.

[John Clancy]

I love you guys. I truly love you all very, very much. I mean, the people listening. I mean, the people in this room more than the people listening, to be honest, but it is listening as well.

[Kevin Clancy]

Everybody thanks their fans, and I. And I understand that, and I do mean it, but also for a show that the fans were, like, a part of, like, like a third host or a fourth host at times, like, they were the fabric of the show. They. They pointed the direction of the show. They grew with us, we grew with them. The content changed as they changed and everything. So they. They deserve even more so than your average normal, like, thanks to the fans. They were a very important part of it. But, yeah, you guys are. You guys are the one that made it all happen for me, and I really appreciate it.

[John Clancy]

I really appreciate it too.

[Kevin Clancy]

Love you guys.

[John Clancy]

I love you guys. I love you guys. Give me a hug. I love you. Good run.

[Kevin Clancy]

15 years. See you later. What up, stoolies? Here we go. It's the first barstool voicemail podcast. I got huge headphones on my head, wires everywhere, a microphone in front of my face. Still not really sure what the I'm doing, but we're just gonna let this one roll. I'm bringing you your voicemails and hope hopefully in the future we can get into more sports tv. Whatever the you guys want.
