I just finished up the dog walk with these guys a couple days ago and they said something to me that was the nicest thing that anybody has ever said to Me. And it's patently ridiculous. So I will take the compliment, but it's just not. It's not reasonable. Eddie said that the Patriots and Dave is like, me and like, the television blogs I used to write.

[Eddie]

I don't think that's that crazy.

[Jackie]

Wait, elaborate.

[Eddie]

So you know how Dave says a lot of the success of Barstool is because of the Patriots?

[Jackie]

Yes. Yes.

[Eddie]

I would say a lot of KFC is, like, best moments are hand in hand with, like, Breaking Bad. The leftovers. Like, his.

[Kevin Clancy]

All right, that makes. Okay, that makes a little more sense that I will definitely take them. I. The way you first had said, it was kind of like the, like, Dave and the Patriots are, like, linked together. You know what I mean?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, I wrote about television blogs, but I don't think anybody is, like, when they think of Breaking Bad, they think of me, you know? No.

[Jackie]

Well, you think of TV at Barcelona.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, you didn't get dragged out of the super bowl for my.

[Kevin Clancy]

The owner, you know, like, Vince Gilligan's not, like, thanking me. Awards, like, like, craft, but. But I was like, it made me feel. I mean, I told them afterwards. I was like, your boy doesn't get many compliments.

[Eddie]

True, though. And I'm not like, you know, I'm not just like a.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, no. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Genuinely.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. White Sox. Dave said he used to go into the dashboard and read them before I would publish. Like, wow, that's crazy.

[Jackie]

I remember the Leftovers was like, I liked the show. I didn't love the show. And I kept up with it longer than I intended to.

[Kevin Clancy]

Just to read the vlogs. Yeah. And then eventually I was writing them for.

[Jackie]

I was like, I can't keep up with the show anymore. I'll still give them the click, but I can't give up the show anymore.

[Kevin Clancy]

Probably 25 people reading those vlogs, but they loved them. They were. They were like, you know, like dissertations, those vlogs. I, I. And so, you know, they. They got me. They got me motivated, thinking about trying to do TV content and even just. I wrote a blog today. Yeah, I hadn't finished it yet, but. What?

[Jackie]

Are you ready?

[Kevin Clancy]

I've been. I've been. I've been meaning to do this. It's a. It's a second. I, I had it. I wrote an open letter to Steve Cohen when he was in the running for the Mets, being like, you need to buy the team. And I'm writing a second one to him about how he has to sign one. One.

[Jackie]

So it's everybody who's creeping up. No, really. I mean, I. I think it's like. I think John Heyman's really driving the bus on it. But the Red Sox are apparently infatuated with Juan Soto. I mean, who. I. I actually saw.

[Kevin Clancy]

Everyone's infatuated with Juan Soto. It's. Are you infatuated with him enough to spend, like, $700 million?

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

The red Sox are like. Like, I don't know, though, because they also just didn't do it for Mookie, which was crazy.

[Jackie]

Right.

[Eddie]

But they got to do something. I feel like their backs are really against the wall.

[Jackie]

Really against the wall.

[Kevin Clancy]

And.

[Jackie]

And particularly right now, as a Red Sox fan, I've had two or three years where, like, the team is a distant thought in my mind. I really. You know, I probably go to one game a year. I maybe watch three. And I think that all stemmed from, like, I think Covid, where I just, like, I stopped watching baseball then, and I just kind of never got back on it. And the comeback has really brought me back in, like, very, very much to baseball as a whole, but to the Red Sox in particular. And I'm like, if they make a splash signing this year, like, that's.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm all the way back, but I saw time. They're due. Yeah. You know, they got to get back in the hunt.

[Eddie]

Well, because you guys never really had lulls. You guys were always pretty. Like, you make the playoffs, and you lose in the playoff playoffs, and then.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, but then they had that run where there was a championship. Sure. Yeah.

[Eddie]

The Bobby Valentine years, for sure.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But for a while, you guys were pretty, like, at least making it to the.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[Jackie]

Yeah. You were in the competition. It was. I remember even when we were bad.

[Kevin Clancy]

It was a surprise.

[Jackie]

I was like, well, they sucked this year. And then it was like, oh, they won the championship next year. It was weird.

[Kevin Clancy]

There was that period of time where it was the Yankees and Red Sox were almost, like, punting the division for the wild card based on, like, who they wanted to face.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, we're going to get one or the other. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, that's why the Yankees and the Cubs were always. I mean, the Red Sox and the Cubs are kind of different because the Cubs were always, like. Like, in the.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, right.

[Eddie]

You know, the Red Sox were, like, always.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, they're good.

[Jackie]

Yeah. At least, like, when I started watching, like, really locking into sports, like, probably 2000.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[Jackie]

I was like, that 10 to 12 range.

[Kevin Clancy]

Pedro years were basically like, yeah, like.

[Jackie]

I remember when they signed Manny, which is late 90s, that was like, okay, I'm really unlocking. And then. But then from then on until probably 2020, every year was like, you know, you were a legit. Not legit contender. You were legit in the conversation before the season started.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Jackie]

And then maybe you fell apart. But like, you're like, yeah, they might be good this year, dude.

[Kevin Clancy]

I actually had this moment, this epiphany in the shower today because up until this year with the Mets, even during this year with the Mets, early on I was kind of like done like as like being like a, A nuts fan because 2022 really killed me. I put like my literal soul into that team. And when they lost, I like, I was like shattered. And I was like, I can't be like this anymore. And so, and then this year was so disappointing in the beginning I was like, I'm just going to be like every other older guy. Like, you don't see many like 50 and 60 year old guys who are like rabid, you know, like foaming at the mouth. They just kind of watch and, and I think it's because they've been through so many ups and downs where eventually you stop getting upset about every single time the bullpen blows a game because you're just like, yeah, you know, you'll be there. And I, I really thought of it as like. Because here, here's, here's where my brain, when I was thinking about television, because we have a tweet about the dog walk, started thinking about Game of Thrones, the new one, House of the Dragon, and how much it sucked. But how I'll still watch it because they, their problem right now, House of the Dragon, is that they haven't done anything. Not that they've done something bad.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And that means you still have a blank canvas because they still. Season three could be the big war and who takes the throne and all that. Whereas if they did the war and this guy had the throne and this person died, you can't undo that. So as bad as. As much as it's. And then so I started thinking about the Mets where it was like, every year hope springs eternal, and what they do is they, they fucking suck the same way. It's like, I'll probably be like, season three of Game of Thrones might be good and it'll suck again because that's what they did. Yeah. But you have that chance because it's, it's still like a clean slate. And that's what I realized about sports is that every year it's like a reset. So then. But then I tried to think of it, I swapped it again and I was like, I'm going to just start treating the Mets like a movie, like a nine month movie. Because this year was like a movie. There was. There was the downs, the ups and the downs. There was grimace and Hock Tua and. And the song and all that. And this was a particularly like, chock full season of like fun off the field storylines. But every year there's story lines of like, who's the. Who's the hero? Who's the, you know, unsung guy? And I was like, if you think of it like a movie where it's just like a plot that's going to unfold. And like, some movies are amazing and they stick the landing and you win a world series and some of them are not, and you're just kind of like, h. Yeah, it was just think.

[Eddie]

Of it as like Halloween where like half the sequels suck.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Just every single time you have a shot and if you just treat it like a movie.

[Jackie]

I just saw Conclave and I really liked it up until I didn't. And it's like they lost the championship.

[Kevin Clancy]

So it was bad ending or like you just kind of lost interest halfway through, you mean?

[Jackie]

No, it was like, I don't want to split because it's very much a worthy movie we're seeing. But like, is it true story?

[Kevin Clancy]

No, but it's. It's about the Pope.

[Jackie]

It's all the backstabbing. Yeah, it's all about electing the new Pope and it's all the backstabbing. Boy, that blackmail.

[Kevin Clancy]

It might be more of a true story than you think though, because that's got to be one of the most corrupt motherfuckers in the world.

[Jackie]

Now. There's no kid banging, so they can't be that real.

[Kevin Clancy]

But if you think about what the Pope really, you know, like, there's a billion people who like, turn to that guy. That's a.

[Eddie]

That's pretty cool.

[Jackie]

That's a. I think one line in the movie is like, in an hour, you're gonna be the most famous man in the world. And it's like, yeah, you probably. I mean, you're not really like, the pope walked in here. I'd probably like, who's this old guy? If he wasn't, you know.

[Eddie]

Are you anti movie or you're just.

[Kevin Clancy]

You just.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, I love movies.

[Eddie]

Okay. Because I was going to say, I feel like you. You stray More towards TV though.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh well, yes, yes, I do, I do. I do lean more toward, towards tv. But I'm not by no means am I anti movie. I love the movies and I always am like, I'm going to go see this. And I just like don't. So I guess I can't. I can't say I love it that much because I never get up off my ass. I'm more of a on demand, wait till it comes on on television kind of guy.

[Eddie]

Movies are my favorite place.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, like every time I go, I'm like, this is the best.

[Eddie]

It's the only place I could put down my phone and not.

[Jackie]

I will like you go.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean he goes more than anybody I know.

[Jackie]

I go probably three times a week.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

Nah, that's excessive. But once.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, I was gonna say. But. But I mean even going every week is a lot for, you know, if you see 50 movies a year, you're probably in the top. Like, oh, 1%.

[Eddie]

You have to pass and everything like that.

[Jackie]

I'm AMC A list.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

All right. I was, I'm surprised you do. You're the type of guy that just.

[Jackie]

Yeah, I just got it like I.

[Eddie]

Got it this summer and so that's what's motivated, motivated me to see these movies I would never seen. Yeah, exactly.

[Kevin Clancy]

So it's like, well, how much did you pay cuz? Remember your. The OG deal was 10.

[Eddie]

That was movie pass.

[Jackie]

I thought it was five.

[Eddie]

Was it five?

[Jackie]

It might have been five.

[Eddie]

Was it?

[Jackie]

I. I genuinely think I put them out of business cuz I would walk.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wait, wait, explain it because I mean there's probably a whole like swath of like young people who don't even understand what this is.

[Jackie]

It was, it was probably like 2018, something like that.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, I think it was even earlier than that.

[Jackie]

No, it was definitely in New York. So maybe was 17.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay.

[Jackie]

Because we moved here at the end of 2016, so it was maybe 17 18.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I feel like it was like when I was in like high school and.

[Eddie]

But maybe 1718 sounds right.

[Jackie]

The. It was, it was. You got a credit card and you would buy the movies on that credit and the credit card cost five, ten bucks, whatever. There was definitely no more than ten. It was either five or ten dollars per month and you just got to go to the every single movie for free. It sounds like the black box. Like you, like your friend's parents. It sounds like it was like we just get everything.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, when you think about it though, like airing a movie, whether there's one person. It doesn't. Doesn't cost you anything to air it. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure you have to, like, acquire it from a studio and shit, but it's not like running it. And you could run it all day long. If there's someone in the theater or not in the theater, it doesn't really matter. So, like, just getting people to lock in for a little bit a month.

[Jackie]

It'S like what they always said that movie theaters aren't actually movie theaters. They're popcorn sales places, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah, right.

[Jackie]

Where, like, that's where they make that.

[Kevin Clancy]

Because if you're looking at, like, me, I like movies. I say I go to the movies, but I really end up only going a couple times a year. But if you could basically lock me in for once a month, which is what it is.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but the problem with the movie pass, though, was they didn't own the theater either. They were just a third party. So they weren't making the popcorn. So I don't know, like.

[Kevin Clancy]

No. Were they. What were they providing then?

[Eddie]

Honestly, the big thing was everyone said they were collecting data. Remember that?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Don't get that Blue Chew. Get your dick hard. Get your dick hard. Dick's here. Get your dick hard. That's basically. Blue Chew is the. Is the hot dog concession vendor of. Of hard dicks. You want a hard dick? Hey, you want two hard dicks? Get your dick card. Here's a blue Chew. They pop it to you, catch it in the mouth like it's a circus act, and bam, you get yourself a nice hard boner. What a world. Think about how many. Here's a question for you. At what point did people get, like, performance anxiety and all that sort of shit? Because for the first, like, a zillion years, a caveman was just like, I'm gonna come in one pump. Who cares? You know? And then it was probably a whole, you know, a whole period of time where men were just like, we don't care about you women. It doesn't matter if I last long and please you. I bet you getting. Getting, like, concerned about your boner or coming too quickly is, like, very new. I think that's whenever, like, porn searches were the highest. Started getting high. I would say that's when people's dick started getting this hard. That's. That's, like, the number one. Like. Cause. Right? Is it that or is it, like, food? I don't know what it is. I. Well, there's also two different things between getting your dick hard and being like, like performance anxiety, where it's like, oh, no, I'm going to come fast and I'm going to be embarrassed, I think, for so long. Guys are just like, don't care. Yeah, I'm sure.

[White Sox Dave]

Call her daddy also.

[Kevin Clancy]

You think it's that close? Like, that?

[White Sox Dave]

They're talking about it and they're talking.

[Kevin Clancy]

They're gonna air us out. Yeah. I mean, when Viagra hit the scene, you know, that was probably. That's pretty long ago now. So it had to be back back then. But, you know, that was almost like taboo. And it was a secret. You had to get a prescription from a doctor that was gonna like, really, you know. Now it's just like, Bluetooth's got you covered. You sign up, you fill out the questionnaire. They understand what you need and they give you your prescription. So what a time to be alive. Where everyone else, you know, for the last couple generations or whatever were just like, I don't know, my dick doesn't get hard and I can't last in bed. And I just have to be embarrassed about that for the rest of my life. Not anymore. Bluechew has got you covered. So download or go to bluechew.com use promo code KFC. Get your first month for free.

Okay, I went to Oppenheimer. You know, I did the Barbenheimer thing. Like, when there's an event, I go.

[Jackie]

Did you buy your tickets yet?

[Kevin Clancy]

No.

[Jackie]

Is it too late?

[Kevin Clancy]

They're gonna be sold out.

[Jackie]

I mean, in the city they are, but I'm Sure. Outside.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Jackie]

That. That's like some real degenerate. Where like. Like, I had, like, a notification, like, Gladiator tickets are on sale. I got it November 22nd. I'll be there. 7:45.

[Kevin Clancy]

Did you hear the. He's doing Black Panther 3.

[Jackie]

Yes.

[Kevin Clancy]

[Eddie]

He announces, like, farewell.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

He's like, I'm doing Othello. I'm doing King Lear. I'm doing Black Panther.

[Eddie]

Another unnamed movie from this director.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Is it really a farewell tour? You're just saying that.

[Eddie]

Like four or five movies. He's like, I'm done after this.

[Kevin Clancy]

I love that move, though.

[Eddie]

Yeah. But what if Because a project you can't say no to comes along?

[Jackie]

Which.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's why it's like, you know, when Jay Z retired, like, four times.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And it just builds up hype for every. Oh, this is last movie. This is last go around. It's like.

[Eddie]

And I think he's up because I. Not to, you know, stereotype, because they look alike and they're the same race, but feel like. Feels like he's got that Morgan Freeman.

[Kevin Clancy]

Future and the old black guy. Yeah. Especially with a distinctive voice.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Kevin Clancy]

That. That scene. What's that. What's that movie called? It's just, like, one word, really. Like, powerful Morgan Freeman. No, Denzel, where. There's that scene where he's talking to his son about how I don't. I don't have to like you.

[Eddie]

It's not Flight, right?

[Kevin Clancy]

No, no, no, no, no. It's. Pull up his. The list of movies. I'll see it. He. It's with, like, Viola Davis and, like, a bunch of, like, fences. Fences. That's it. I was about to say voices.

[Jackie]

He is using fences.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

Wow. I haven't seen fences.

[Kevin Clancy]

There's a scene with him talking to his son about, like. And his son's like, how come you never, like, loved me and, like, liked me? And he's like, it's. I mean, it's fucking brutal. But he's like, I don't have to like you. I don't love you. Like, I put a roof over your head and all that shit. And then. Because there's. When there's also. It was on Broadway and James Earl Jones plays that same character. So there's, like, James Earl Jones on stage and Denzel in. On the screen. And they're both, like, different, but, you know, same different and awesome altogether when Denzel flexes. I mean, I know you. You know, better than anybody. You've had the Denzel argument, right? That big. The big. I actually. I do fall in the middle of that argument. It was what White Sox Dave said that. That Denzel doesn't have any range.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And then it was just. Was there another side of it?

[Eddie]

Every role that he plays, he's the.

[Kevin Clancy]

Same guy, which is a fair.

[Jackie]

It's in. It's fair if you just watch those movies.

[Kevin Clancy]

But.

[Jackie]

Okay, like, Denzel does a lot of. But he also has a lot.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's very similar to, like, Taylor Swift, though. It's like there are other songs about other things, but when you have a bulk of your work and they're awesome are a certain thing you're going to get.

[Jackie]

But you can't say he doesn't have range. You can say I know him as this.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah. You shouldn't say. I think you can say he does not use his range as often as probably he could or should or other actors do. But. No, I think he does.

[Jackie]

I think you just don't like. I don't think White Sox Dave sees King Lear.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right. Well, I think he could do Shakespearean probably in recent years, he probably has done a little bit more, but he had a run there where it was pretty. From, like, you know, like John Q. Through probably into the man on Fire and Equalizer, like, three type. Yeah. But there's a lot more of those than there was. And that's.

[Jackie]

But those are fair.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, most people do that. They do, you know, their blockbusters and they sprinkle in a couple, like, Oscar winnings. You don't do those, like, all day, every day. But it's just. It's. It's. It's also. It's not necessarily a knock. It's just. It's just a fact about Denzel's collection that there is a lot of movies that are the. The old guy or father who is on a revenge tour or a protection thing.

[Eddie]

But I think his. His point is more like his inflection and the way he talks and everything is all kind of the same.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, so even within the movies.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's what's interesting, because Gladiator 2 is going to be.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, he. But he didn't. Yeah. I mean, Gladiator 2 is a big check for Dave, then.

[Eddie]

Yes, exactly. Because he didn't.

[Kevin Clancy]

He doesn't do that. He's just like. I'm just talking like.

[Eddie]

Like, we had Jeff on our show like, a couple months ago, and he said, yeah, in the trailer, he just sounds like guns.

[Kevin Clancy]

But that's better than doing a bad. For sure. There's a. There's a. He did a movie, like, when he was younger. He did a British accent and it was so bad. Really? Yeah.

[Jackie]

I actually just watched Crimson Tide last night. That's.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, that's great movie. What was that?

[Eddie]

How'd you land on that?

[Jackie]

Yeah, honestly, how I land on most of my movies I watch at home. Either Jeff Gooch or Ken Jack watched in the last week. So it was on like one of those.

[Kevin Clancy]

Crimson Tide is a. I think a Michael Crichton book. Or.

[Jackie]

No, I don't know that.

[Kevin Clancy]

I feel like it was one of those, like a John Grisham novel or something like that.

[Eddie]

Maybe. It's. I'll say this, though. It's been a very bad movie year in my eyes.

[Jackie]

It's. It's been. I was actually looking through my letterbox last night. It's been. I have a lot of movies I liked. Didn't love, like, a lot of movies. I was like, that was a good movie, but I'm not like, you gotta see this.

[Kevin Clancy]

What do you think was the. What, like, what do you rattle off the disappointments?

[Eddie]

Bottom three? I wouldn't even say they're disappointments because it's not like I had. Well, one I did have kind of high hopes for was. Did you see the Bob Marley movie?

[Jackie]

I did not see that one.

[Eddie]

Oh, my God.

[Kevin Clancy]

I didn't even hear about this. What is it?

[Jackie]

Oh, yeah. One Love with the guy from Bridgerton.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it was like a. It was a biopic and it was. Oh, man.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. It must have been real bad because I feel like a Bob Marley biopic, if done correctly, would be a smash.

[Eddie]

They dropped it in, like, January. Buried it.

[Jackie]

Yeah. Okay.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay. So they knew they had a clunker.

[Eddie]

They had to.

[Kevin Clancy]

Because I. Because I didn't see, like. They didn't promote it. I didn't see it at least.

[Jackie]

No. Maybe.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

No, it is called One Love. Okay. I mean, they promoted it.

[Kevin Clancy]

They.

[Jackie]

Well, it's like they promote it.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know what? They.

[Jackie]

The people going, like, it's. It was a lot. It was actually way too much with, like. It was every trailer at the theater.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay? You guys probably saw it a lot more than I did then. You know what? They really snuck in there. We talked about this the other day. That Clooney and Brad Pitt movie, Wolves.

[Eddie]

That was bad, bro.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean, George Clooney and Brad Pitt star in a movie, and they just, like, announced it, like, the week it dropped on Apple tv.

[Jackie]

It was it.

[Kevin Clancy]

I was like, I turned on Apple TV to go Watch how. You know, what was I watching? The other one. It's actually good. And I was like, wait, what is this? How did I miss this?

[Jackie]

It's. It's. Rotten Tomatoes is actually decent.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, I. I am so. I've been over Rotten Tomatoes for a long time now. It's almost exclusively the opposite of Rotten Tomatoes.

[Jackie]

I did it. I really got over the other day when people were like, whatever episode of the Penguin is the best TV episode of all time.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[Jackie]

I was like, well, it's like, it's number one on Rotten Tomatoes. People didn't used to watch Breaking Bad and then rush to Rotten Tomatoes to rate it. They watched it also.

[Kevin Clancy]

Everyone who rushes to Rotten Tomatoes is a. Yeah, like, it is. I really almost feel like I tend to totally disagree. I'm like, you must be this audience that. Well, that's my thing. Like, I believe the best movies, or at least the most enjoyable are the movies that have the biggest gap between critics. Yeah. And if you look at, like, I always use Saving Silverman as an example, there's like an 85% gap. Critics have their, you know, their nose up in the air about it.

[Jackie]

But Wolves is wolf not even worth watching.

[Kevin Clancy]

They're kind of like cleaners, Right.

[Jackie]

They're both cleaners who get called to.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, you know, like, it's like.

[Jackie]

It feels like it's a 20 minute script that they stretched into like an hour 20.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

And it's just. It's not.

[Eddie]

Have you guys ever seen that 20 minute movie, that De Niro.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, we talked about this.

[Jackie]

The one with the De Niro. Brad Pitt.

[Kevin Clancy]

We were going through like somebody's catalog doing one of these movie debates. Yeah. And we were like, what is this?

[Eddie]

And they all got paid like 18 million apiece.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. And it. But it was. What?

[Eddie]

So it was a promotional movie for Macau, like, gambling.

[Jackie]

Really World.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So they paid him a ton of movies. It's honestly, like, credit to them for getting that check to do that because. Yeah, there it is.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. I mean, it's literally, if you haven't seen or heard about. It's like directed by Scorsese. He's got de Niro, Pacino, DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jack. It's like, it's insane. The.

[Jackie]

I don't think he made like a graphic for it.

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't know that, because that. That is. That. That thing right there. That's the only thing. Yeah, that. That one with the four of them right there.

[Eddie]

Sixteen minutes.

[Kevin Clancy]

They got. They got like a million Dollars a minute each.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Crazy, man.

[Jackie]

What. What were you.

[Eddie]

The other two, the strangers, they rebooted. It's my favorite horror movie of all time.

[Kevin Clancy]

Terrible.

[Eddie]

You saw the new one, too?

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, it was. It was. It was just like. It was like, literally just the same.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it was nothing but way worse.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like the blood scene.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Oh, terrible. Terrible.

[Eddie]

Worst scenes I've ever seen.

[Kevin Clancy]

So bad. Yep. Yep.

[Eddie]

And then it's. It was It. This one was the only. I usually don't factor in, like, straight to Netflix or Hulu for this stuff, but unfrost. It was pretty bad.

[Jackie]

I actually didn't hate on. I didn't love it, but, like, it was. I had it on, and I was like, this is fine. It's fun. It's not. It wasn't like, you know, again, it certainly wasn't great.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think the problem with that is that Jerry Seinfeld is such a cocksucker that, you know, you. If you put something out, that's like. It was a fun thing.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

When it's. It's. At least it seems like every single quote from Jerry Seinfeld is like, what's wrong with comedy? And.

[Jackie]

Yeah, but he actually walked that back hard recently.

[Kevin Clancy]

Good. Because he should shut the up about it.

[Eddie]

But is he getting asked? Because, you know, there's a big difference. He's doing, like, a media circuit.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, but you also have to, like, know and, like, keep yourself in check at some point. Like, if. If. You know, if. Every time I went on a podcast, I was getting questions about Barstool, and. And my. My reputation started to go a certain way. I think I would, like, the next time I get asked about it, Chip, you know, answer it differently or put an end to it or, you know, whatever. But I think he, you know, relished being like. Yeah. He was also very late to the cause. I feel like.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

By the time we were already rolling our eyes about Cancel Culture and Wokeism, he's, like, doing his speech in the college. I was like, bro, we're. We're, like, through this and out of it already. You know what I mean?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

What did you think of the. What'd you think of the dog walk? Oh, yeah, it was awesome. I. I said. I. As soon as I was done, I said, this was my first rear admiral. Rear admiral moment at barstool where I was like, I am the old guy. Like, every pick I said, I was like, yeah. They were like, I didn't even know who else was.

[Eddie]

I feel like chief sold, too.

[Kevin Clancy]

I know. I thought Cons is old and he knows my shows. Cons was like, I think in line with me. I thought Chief would have known. He said he didn't know four of my five picks.

[Jackie]

What were your picks?

[Kevin Clancy]

He knew Breaking Bad. And then I had shield, Dexter, Californication, and Justified.

[Jackie]

I mean, obviously I know all and have seen all, but, like, I don't know how you don't. None of those are, like, deep.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right, right. I was thinking when we finished the draft, my last pick was, like, the most difficult, like, thing I've done because I was like, I have one pick left and 11 shows. I had, like, two more full drafts of honorable mentions that I would have been happy with and been like, I think those five could go toe to toe with your guys.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know what I mean?

[Eddie]

I just texted, too, Jackie. It's. Yeah. I mean, I don't know how he said he didn't know four out of five. That's crazy. Or even seen him maybe.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, the way he said he was like, I don't know, like four of the five. Like, if you haven't seen it, I guess.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

But I was like, Dexter is like a fucking massive.

[Jackie]

Dexter got rebooted, like, last year.

[Kevin Clancy]

It got, like, three times. You know, it was funny, though. I always struggle with the dog walk because I never know whether I want to try to win, whether I try to. Want to try to get my personal best, like, picks out there or like, this one. I almost felt like I'm going to pick some older shows that maybe people don't know to put them on to shit that. Because what's crazy to me, dude, is like. Like, really coming to terms with being old. That, like, to me, those shows are not old. Those are just like, television shows. Yeah. Those shows are, like, 25 years old now. There are shows that are fucking. You know, if. Again, if. If. When I was growing up, if someone was trying to tell me to watch something from the 70s, I'd be like, get the fuck out of here. But to me, it's like, no, that's not. That's not that. It's like, yes, it is, man. It is.

[Eddie]

That's a mind fuck for sure.

[Kevin Clancy]

I didn't. I.

[Jackie]

You know, Eddie's got me with his last three. I don't love the first two sons.

[Kevin Clancy]

What I should have done.

[Jackie]

I like Stranger Things. I don't. I, like, don't love both of them.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Jackie]

Like, I've seen them and watched them all.

[Kevin Clancy]

Stranger Things is a good. I actually. Both of those, I think, are good. Like cultural picks, though. They both were like chatter, you know what I mean?

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Things is a big talked about show. Black Mirror as well. And I know Squid Game is too, but I hated the Squid Game pick. I think it's one season. There's nothing like you can, you can have like the same. There's like one conversation you can have about Squid Game, you know?

[Jackie]

Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's like. And it was a big deal, but. But, so, but that's what I mean. You can draft all sorts of different ways of like popularity versus deep cuts versus your personal favorites. What I should have done was take. I didn't know if anybody was going to take Suns. I should have swapped the Shield and Sons because. Yeah, nobody was gonna take the Shield. The Shield and I could have taken the suns and gotten both.

[Jackie]

I, I would definitely, if I had a vote in this, my. My vote would definitely be between you two.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think. Yeah. The Shield. A lot of people, a lot of Shield love, dude.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm telling you. Yeah, it's. It's, it's one of like the real original ones because it like, it's that first antihero type.

[Eddie]

I also didn't know Khan just wasn't a huge TV guy. That surprised me.

[Jackie]

I. I thought Khan was an everything guy.

[Eddie]

That's right.

[Jackie]

He's got all you want. So you want an opinion. Cons has got you.

[Eddie]

Yeah, exactly.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, I mean, I didn't think he was not a TV guy.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I guess. But he seemed like he. Remember at the front, at the beginning, he's like, there's a lot of stuff. I have my board that I've never seen.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, he know. But no, he also. Yeah, he said he was going to draft things he hadn't watched.

[Jackie]

That's crazy.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, that is kind of crazy.

[Eddie]

This is not hbo, obviously.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, that was the. But I was actually, you know, HBO is the goat. But I was again, when you. When I really sat down and made the list, I was like, there's a lot of these shows that I would maybe take over some hbo.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know.

[Jackie]

Yeah. When you first asked me, I was like, I was like, oh, I don't know. HBO has like all the great shows. Thinking about it.

[Kevin Clancy]

There's that amc, I think.

[Jackie]

I think I had two texts. You was like, oh, I don't know. That's really hard. HBO does all the good shows. And then I was like, oh, wait, I have a hundred ideas.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mindhunter was the one. Modern Day one chief got that one that I was, I was thinking about trying to get. And then Yellowstone was, was the final. That's actually good value as the final. Final draft. They did.

[Jackie]

Taylor Sheridan. I just saw today a poster for. He's just running back again.

[Kevin Clancy]

Dude. He does even more than I realized. There's. He has Yellowstone 1883, 1953.

[Eddie]

You can't have two shows.

[Kevin Clancy]

There's a third. There's a third year, and then there's another one.

[Jackie]

This one I'm actually googling on top of Tulsa King.

[Kevin Clancy]

King of Tulsa, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness. He's running like he's legitimately show running, producing or writing some combination of those things for like 10 shows. That's a lot at once.

[Eddie]

A lot, bro.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's, it's. It's 10x what you usually do. People don't even usually run two at the same time.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

I don't know if this is the.

[Kevin Clancy]

One you're making way.

[Jackie]

But I. The only reason I saw. When I got off the subway today, I saw posters for it. Landman.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Yes. It's like, what.

[Jackie]

What is deep in the heart of West Tex. Texas, roughnecks and wildcat billionaire. It's just, just.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's yellow. Just. Just make sure one of them is good instead of having three that are spread out.

[Jackie]

Roughnecks and wildcat billionaires try to get rich quick in the oil business as oil rigs begin to dominate the state. It's. It's Billy Bob, Thor and John Ham. And it's.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's like take an old actor who was having a revival, you know, The, The Yellowstone behind the scenes, I think is actually fascinating though, because Costner signed on what was supposed to be one season and they said maybe a movie. And he was like, cool. That's why he had cancer. And he was like, I got to pass it down. It was a kind of Breaking Bad esque. Then I think he was so big, they just said he had an ulcer. And they were like, never mind. He doesn't have cancer. He had an exploding ulcer. He's fine. So that was kind of their way around that. And he said, I'll give you three seasons. They somehow convinced him. Probably just a fat bag of cash and maybe chopping up some episodes. They convinced him to do five. And then the writer strike hit and Covid hit and he was like, I'm. I'm. I'm willing to like finish it. Let's go. But the strike and Covid were a problem. And then once that was over, Sheridan didn't have a script because he was probably busy making eight other shows. And Costner was like, come on, come on, come on, come on. I gotta do this other. And then when I guess Sheridan finally maybe finished the script or had the script somewhat ready, Costner said, I'll give you one week of shooting to do the whole season. And they were like, we can't do a season in a week. Yeah, he was like, do all my scenes in a week. And like, you can do it. And they. So it was like a back and forth and they just, I mean, I guess no spoilers, but yeah, I haven't.

[Eddie]

Seen it, but I, he killed himself.

[Jackie]

All right, I, I, I haven't seen it either. I saw it.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. I don't wanna. There's, there's more, There's a little more to it.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You're a big dope sick guy though, right?

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, yeah, it's, it's his comfort tv. He watches it like every night. Love. He's so sick. You're so sick.

[Jackie]

I, I think, I think I'm just in love with Michael Keaton.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, that is, yeah, that's really it.

[Eddie]

Did you like Painkiller?

[Jackie]

What's that? Painkillers. I liked it, didn't I? If it came out before Dope Sick, I would be like, he's in a.

[Kevin Clancy]

Show also called Painkillers.

[Jackie]

No, no, but it's the same show. Right, but it's a fun, fun little behind the scenes about Painkillers. That was one of Taylor Kitchens, like, passion projects because his sister was addicted to pills and when she got clean, he hired her to be his, like, acting coach on set.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Jackie]

Yeah, him.

[Kevin Clancy]

By the way, who? He, he's just.

[Jackie]

Oh, that's one. I, I don't know. It's one season, so we can't put on this list, but Terminal list.

[Eddie]

Yeah, good.

[Jackie]

Terminalist.

[Eddie]

I did Dope Sick. It's only one season.

[Jackie]

So terminal.

[Kevin Clancy]

Terminal is Chris Pratt and, and a little bit of Taylor kitsch running around on like a Denzel revenge tour sort of thing. Like, like I'm a Navy seal. Who. Or like not like beyond Navy seal, like a special Ops. Who you with? Yeah, some like off black market type, you know. And he's like realizing that they're like, you know, using people and turning them into like, machines and murder, you know, whatever. And so he's, he's like, they're making a season two very Breaking Bad. Do you do break. Do you do Game of Thrones? You know?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, you do. It's very Aria list, crossing everybody off.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay.

[Jackie]

Yeah, it's it's like they. They were Navy seals who like, got put in a bad position and they're realizing that, like, it was kind of a top down they got. And now everyone who put them on that.

[Kevin Clancy]

Everyone. But he has also like, he. His brain, like, you know, he doesn't know if he can trust himself. Right. Yeah, his brain's up from like, you know, MK Ultra type and stuff like that.

[Jackie]

So they. They're doing a season two, but it's a prequel.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh.

[Jackie]

So Taylor catches back.

[Kevin Clancy]

Hell yeah.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's great. Yeah, you gotta have that duo.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's awesome.

[Eddie]

That's where Bloodline up.

[Jackie]

I know.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

Bloodline. Season one is awesome.

[Kevin Clancy]

Awesome.

[Jackie]

What's. What's his name? The Australian.

[Eddie]

Ben Mendelsohn.

[Jackie]

Ben Mendelsohn.

[Eddie]

I think he's one of the best.

[Jackie]

You ever seen Starboy. No. Startup S T A R R E D. It's like in an Australian prison, he. He goes to jail to be with his son. It's sick.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

He also did Animal Kingdom, which became a very popular show, but he did. Is it that? Oh, yeah, that show is based on.

[Kevin Clancy]

Watch that. It is a good show, but it just. There was a run in like 2013, 14, right before I had kids and was blogging and like just doing the podcast once a week. Knew how to like blog my dick off so I could like write like 10 blogs in an hour and like be done for the day and was still just like a had. Like nowadays when I do nothing, I feel like anxiety. I feel like I should be doing something, working, helping my kids, just like not being productive, whatever.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Before any of that set in and I had no responsibilities and I watched every thing on television.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you got a lot.

[Kevin Clancy]

Everything. Like I'm watching the Sundance Channel, like some new artsy season one of this thing and that it was like, oh, it was a beautiful time.

[Eddie]

And now you're watching Rocky 4 for.

[Kevin Clancy]

What a moment that was, man.

[Eddie]

How did you get them to get into that?

[Kevin Clancy]

So my kid had his championship baseball game that morning. And so when we went there, it was in Danbury, Connecticut. There's like five fields, like 30 teams from like little kids up to high school kids all having their championships. So everybody is playing hype up music and walk up music and all that shit. And we're walking by one of the fields to get to our game and eye of the tiger comes on and Keegan stops and was like, what is this song? And I was like, hell yeah. First of all, if you recognizing that like, you know, and I was like, this is a song called Eye of the Tiger. It's awesome. Like, I was like, you're getting hyped. Like you're feeling something, right? He was like, yeah, let's go. And I was like, and it's attached to this movie. And I started explaining it and describing it to my kids. And I was like, do you guys want to watch it tonight? And I'm like, 10 from my last 10 on recommending, you know, the Mighty Ducks and Rookie of the Year. And, yeah, we just did Three Ninjas the other day. They love it. All Home Alone, all these things. So they actually listen to me now when I. When I recommend a movie from, like, my time. And so we. We put that on, and it starts off slow, and it's a little bit old and, you know, looks different to them, and they were kind of not feeling it. And when it got cooking, when Apollo we. I. I fast forward to Apollo because they started.

[Jackie]

They.

[Kevin Clancy]

They started freaking out, like, Apollo's just getting his head beaten to death. And my. And my daughter started to, like, kind of shield her eyes, and my son was looking, and I was like, okay, well, fast. I was like. I was like. And then they have a funeral. I was like, he's just gone. He's just gone. But when Rocky started, they, like, started jumping out of their seat. I was like, it's. It's timeless, man. It's. It really is like that. That music. You combine music with that and, like, all that, it doesn't matter. You can play that from now till the end of time, and people will. Will feel something, you know?

[Eddie]

Yeah. The Rocky soundtrack is just.

[Kevin Clancy]

I actually, we. We should maybe do a draft like that for the. I mean, you probably could do just Rocky, to be honest. But maybe just in general, like, movie. We did pump up music because I think no Easy Way out is better than Eye of the Tiger.

[Eddie]

Really.

[Kevin Clancy]

When he's. When in Rocky 4, when he's like. He's in his Ferrari and he's just driving at night, like, Apollo's dead. And he's like, should I fight him? Should I not? I don't know what to do. There's another montage. The movie is Strictly. But that song, I think, is better.

[Eddie]

Than I. I love in the Burning Heart. And.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Hearts on Fire.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot of goods in there.

[Eddie]

So many. So I. I actually do agree with you. I think I.

[Kevin Clancy]

The tiger is kind of like.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You know, and then the classic Rocky Song, right.

[Kevin Clancy]

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

I know you guys were, you know, when you were, you guys were kind of running Chicago. Dan came in and it's, you know, his, his show now, but I feel like the dust has settled a little bit.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Kevin Clancy]

Are you guys. I don't know. Yeah, it's good for the Red line crew, basically, you know.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's good. It's, it's because it was like a lot of change at once because obviously that's when our crew kind of split up and then everyone came. So it was.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right. Yeah.

[Eddie]

You had a wacky year, you know, for sure.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. And then it's the greatest reality show on earth. Yeah. Like there was unfortunately the ones that have to live it. But if you're watching it and enjoying it or watching it from afar, it's the greatest reality show.

[Eddie]

Yeah, dude. Like, there was a lot of. A lot of things to weather, for sure. You know, so once we got through all that and. Because the interesting thing was, was everyone moved there. So it's kind of like you just picked up everyone here and you place them there. So they all knew each other.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You know, so in a sense, we kind of became strangers in our own home.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right. That's what I mean.

[Eddie]

It was like new guys driving. I know. I know everything around, like. But we're. I'm. I'm new in my city that I've lived in my life.

[Kevin Clancy]

Crazy.

[Eddie]

You know, but, like, now it's not like everything. It was adjustment period.

[Kevin Clancy]

Integrated or whatever.

[Jackie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Ye. But. Yeah.

[Jackie]

When.

[Kevin Clancy]

When, like, they. They have their click.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

But it was a bigger one than yours, so, like, you guys become.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Which was like, a mind for sure.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Rolling to work and being like, wait, I'm. I'm the new guy.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. You have to, like, introduce yourself to people, not the other way around.

[Eddie]

Like, it was weird. And then same thing coming here. This the first time I've been in the New York office in a year and a half. I'm looking around like, this place closed. This place closed. You guys got, like, screens outside the POD studios.

[Jackie]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

So much random.

[Kevin Clancy]

Texted somebody who hasn't worked here in two years, really? I texted a tech guy being like, yo, I need. I was thinking about, like, setting up, like, a landing page. And he was like, yeah, yeah, cool, cool. And I was like, all right, so maybe, like, I'll come by. It was over the weekend, so I was like, ah, sorry for the weekend text. I'll come by on Monday. I'll come upstairs. And he was like, you know, I have not worked here in a long time. And as I sent it, I had a. Like a tingle. I was like, wait a minute. Maybe I think this guy's gone. I mean, this place is. You know, there's. I don't know who anybody is anymore. And. And, like, I think, you know, half of it is unused on. Just empty.

[Jackie]

There's.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, yeah, you know, we got. We. We. The amount of real estate. Like, we should do like a. We work here, you know?

[Jackie]

Yeah. Dave should get out of this lease asap.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, I mean, honestly, like, if you're gonna. If you're gonna move, you know, half the people, you probably should downgrade to half I think. But you want more revenue out of New York Fucking just rent the real estate. We got thousands of square feet in the heart of New York City. It's our best commodity.

[Eddie]

Highest earning employee of the real estate.

[Jackie]

That's it.

[Kevin Clancy]

Hey, like come in, you get a workspace, you can take some pictures, you get to meet your favorite blogger.

[Jackie]

Get like pulled into some weird fights. Just deal with it.

[Kevin Clancy]

You might be coming content. All of a sudden new fucking.

[Eddie]

Someone has to live here in another city or something.

[Jackie]

I mean we. You could 100 consolidate this office to one floor.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, for sure.

[Eddie]

Is that whole UPS? I haven't been there yet. Is it all like just empty now?

[Jackie]

It's like pretty half to three quarters.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, yeah, pretty empty.

[Eddie]

But you guys would probably go upstairs, right? Because it feels like that's more open and more room.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, but this is all like built.

[Jackie]

All like the podcast studios and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, it's definitely not necessary. It is certainly too much. What is it they say, like when parents downgrade, like it's like it's too much house, like it's too much office.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Empty nesters.

[Kevin Clancy]

As a former Dave Portnoy co host guy, he was talking about. I actually don't know where they, where they landed on this because it was amidst the whole Brie and Zack Bryant thing. But he was saying how he was about to phase out of BFFs and I don't know. Did you watch that?

[Jackie]

No.

[Kevin Clancy]

He was basically saying he was like, I'm almost 50, I have to stop like talking about teenagers. Basically what we were saying about him at 45, he's finally picked up on at 50. Huh?

[Eddie]

What is he now?

[Kevin Clancy]

We do this all the time. I, I've always been calling, I've called him like five years older than he is forever. So I never to make fun of him.

[Jackie]

I would guess he's 47.

[Kevin Clancy]

He was, he was. He graduated in 99. That's what we always.

[Jackie]

That's our bang.

[Kevin Clancy]

27. So a couple more years did that five handle and I think he was saying. I think, I think his point was kind of like, like if they weren't going to talk about Zach, Brian, he was like it was too much of an elephant in the room and he can't talk about all these other people and so he was going to be done. I don't know. I feel like his, his BFF's battery has been reinvigorated by this. So I don't know. But I don't know. Just you Know, having been the guy who. Who tried to run a show with him before and do something similar, I.

[Eddie]

Assume he'd ride it out. As long as this is still going on. Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

I definitely think he's gonna see this through because he's. He's definitely riled up and been pulled into this drama. But, I mean, it smashes. I get what he's saying. It's like, it's. You know, he's just. He's so successful on so much money that it doesn't matter, but it's also. Yeah, it is. It was a good business model, and it worked, and it still is working. But by the way, why is Cat Tim fun there?

[Jackie]

I was just thinking that. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

But, yeah, I mean, you, you, you. I. I feel like the unnamed show is basically what you did. That. That's a better.

[Eddie]

Yeah, so it's kind of. Once I was out of the drama game, I was out of the drama.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I don't really care anymore.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, I did you. So wait. I mean, you. You. You were good at that. Did you. Did you just do it then? Or you liked it or you did it because you knew it was, like, good for business?

[Eddie]

I was like, I liked it. I was like, in the barstool, I knew everything. I was like, all right, I'd be good at this, you know?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That was kind of how.

[Kevin Clancy]

But because it was barstool, like, could you do what they do? Just talk about, like, other drama or, like, it had to be like, Dave and barstool nowadays.

[Eddie]

No, I feel like when we were, like, really on the circuit, and it was like, you know, like, all that.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Now it's like this girl on Tick Tock. Like, we got these three tick tock girls are, like, 22 at the Chicago office, and they're, like, telling me people I don't know, but this. It's not the same.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You know, movie stars are not the same.

[Jackie]

It's like we were talking about the Zach Brian thing the other day, and Kevin was telling me how Josh Richards had made music before, so he was on a Warner Brothers thing, and it was like, oh, he has a diss track about Lil Huddy.

[Kevin Clancy]

I was like, I don't know.

[Eddie]

That's what I'm saying.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's such a. It's a. It's just a delicate balance, man. Because I, you know, I heavily believe in aging appropriately. Like, I think that's the way to go. But you got to do a very good job. And I almost wish I've done a better job of it over the years of like, kind of reminding your audience of like, how, how the game works, where it's like, I will keep making content that you like as A Now I'm 40 years old, you have kids, you slowed down a little bit. We're not talking about Tick Tock. We're talking about Rocky or whatever, you know, but in, in return, like, you gotta stay subscribed, you gotta follow, you gotta buy some tickets, you gotta, you know, because as you get older, you just do less and less of that stuff. You go out less, you keep up less. So it's like, then I have to adapt and get young if you're not gonna support me. You know what I mean?

[Eddie]

Totally.

[Kevin Clancy]

So, like, you know, I almost wish periodically, about three years I reminded, like, I feel like the KFC radio audience is very loyal, but like, not the most active because that was always our kind of. Our thing was like, ah, you know, we don't even tell you to like and subscribe. We don't even, you know, it's like, whatever, we just do it. It's like, you need that if that's going to be your audience because otherwise you got to start appealing to the next crop of people who are on the blogs, on the, you know, listen to podcasts at work, commuting, all that shit. And it's like they want to talk about these people. We don't fucking know. So you got to really make a choice. I feel like we firmly set ourselves in no man's life.

[Eddie]

Do you guys feel it, though? Like there's like the first shift of like, of being like an older crew?

[Jackie]

Yes, to an extent. Because, like, it's. I don't even feel like the shift. Like, I still just like, I'm interested in the stuff I'm interested in. Yeah, I, like, I would like, I didn't feel anything. Like with Vine, I was like, oh, I don't really do that. And I kind of feel that with Tick Tock now. Just like, oh, I don't really do that.

[Eddie]

But what about when you see like those company meetings and it's all about Tick Tock and it's like we're hiring these people because they make these trend videos, you know, that's.

[Jackie]

Oh, you think I'm paying attention to that?

[Kevin Clancy]

There's your first mistake.

[Eddie]

Fair.

[Jackie]

You think I even went to that?

[Kevin Clancy]

There's a couple ways you could look at that. Either. Like, like, you see that I am a very firm believer. I've always thought of, like, if I can being myself and doing what I do, like, gets me here, you know?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And if I were to like sell out, become a character, do something that I'm uncomfortable with, can like get me up here, like a little bit higher, but I've got to like basically fake it the whole time. Yeah, I'd rather be a little bit lower, but I just do what I do, you know what I mean? Because I can do this in my sleep if you ask me to do Tick Tocks. And I gotta like, really work at it and be awkward and try to power through it and all that. And it's like, I think you gotta again, make your pick and don't be kind of stuck in no man's land either, like, stick to what you know and do, or I'm gonna try to like, learn how to do this app. And I mean, the problem is though, like, I, you know, we. There's gonna be another one and another one and another one. So, like, at some point Tick Tock's the old thing, you know, and then you're really old, so it's like you got to keep up with some of it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's also just impossible though, to keep up with the names and what's popular. And it's like, it used to be like tv, music and like, that's it, you know? Yeah. Streaming and podcasting and short form video and long form video and YouTube. It's like, I just can't possibly so know all these people, you know?

[Eddie]

And that's why I remember sitting in Erica's office like years ago and we're like, oh, do you have a tick? I was like, no. And she's like, well, why not? I was like, I'll be honest, like, I know me, I'll be scrolling on that thing for four hours a day. And I feel like all the relatability of like, stuff that I know about now, like movies and TV will go completely out the window.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Just start getting into that.

[Kevin Clancy]

But that. And I, I think there is, like, that needs to. There is a whole audience that's not on Tick Tock and is into those things. But like I said, you gotta like, hold up your end of the bargain as the fan base. Because if you're just like, oh, yeah, I used to read Barstool and love it, but like now I don't anymore. It's like, well, now then, then you're useless to me. You know what I mean? Like, then you're not in the, in the market anymore for me.

[Eddie]

And I actually think that's a. Not a flaw in the design of barstool. But barstool. So go, go, go. And you don't stop. But like, for instance, you're. You guys have Ariane all the time, right?

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Doesn't he, like, take like three months to go, like on a different trip and experience and then you come back. Like, imagine if fights. You took off like a month and you just hitchhike. You hitchhiked across America.

[Kevin Clancy]

Dude. I have always been firmly team have seasons of podcasts.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, you have an off season. You have a premiere, first of all. You have a premiere and a finale that. That like, generates hype. And you have time off to either just like reboot or go do some experience some shit. But. And I. I still to this day would do it. I just have immense fear that it's like if we took two months off and everybody goes and listens to Jeff Teague's new podcast. That's awesome. And, you know, all up with. Up in the smoke with these two guys and these rappers and these guys, like all these amazing celebrities that you want to hear their stories. And then when we come back, it's like, ah, I don't have any hours left because I'm busy. You know what I mean? But I would like to think that our audience would. And maybe it would even. I. I do. I really think it's. My thinking there is backwards. I think if we took it away a little bit, people would be more excited to get it back.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's almost like they. They don't listen because they take us for granted. If we were to build some hype around it. But it is a scary proposition.

[Jackie]

But that's also like, you don't even need like a full Ari takes. You know, Ari's just. Yeah, but like, it's. It's also just like doing things. Like, you like.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Jackie]

Like, you like. Like. I think I told a story about going to a show Friday night. Like, you gotta.

[Kevin Clancy]

You gotta do shit to have stories to tell, you know?

[Jackie]

Yeah. You don't. You don't have to go away for a month. You can do something.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean, I for sure have run into. I mean, I don't do as much, but I used to be like, there's just so much of my life now I really can't or should not or don't want to talk about. You know what I mean? Like, what consumes my brain half the time is just that either shouldn't be public or I don't want public or I can't put my kids out there or. Or it's kind of like nobody wants to hear your stories about your kids and like that. You know what I mean?

[Eddie]

Here's what's interesting. I do think there is an aspect where people do want to see that stuff.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, I don't know if you have been second guessing, like putting all that stuff out there, like your kids baseball game. But I legit was like, I enjoyed it.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay. I did.

[Eddie]

I was like, oh, this is kind of.

[Kevin Clancy]

All right.

[Eddie]

Interesting to see you in a different light.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right.

[Jackie]

It's crazy, dude.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean, we, we. The whole problem with my kids sports is that we're not on the right side of the tracks for zoning to play on the. In these towns. But like we're not in like the hood, obviously.

[Jackie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And the fields and like the amenities that we got to deal with. It's crazy. Like, it is, it is what the.

[Jackie]

Right side of the tracks look like.

[Kevin Clancy]

Spectacular.

[Jackie]

No, I don't mean like the. I mean like the parents income.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's like you're like, I'm.

[Jackie]

On the wrong side of the.

[Kevin Clancy]

You want the real answer? It's Roger Goodell.

[Eddie]

That sort of so.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, I like to hear that. We'll let you go. But I. I mean, I always run to run into like, I don't know if I can use my kids. I don't want their faces out there. I don't want them to be embarrassed about. They're getting to the point where. Actually I didn't. Let me tell the story real quick before we go, because I had explained the Rocky thing. But Keegan, every time we pick a movie, Keegan is very like, I don't want to watch that. I don't watch that. I don't watch that. And we always have to convince him. And then we're always kind of like, I told you so. Because he always loves it. And he said, he literally like negotiated. He goes, I'll do it. I think he even said, I'll do it under one condition, which was a very funny thing for like a kid to say. He said something like that. Like, I have one. I have one rule. He said, you can't say I told you so. So the movie, he said it to Che. The movie ends. I say to him, I was like, see, you liked it, right? We high five. And Shay says, imagine if we didn't watch that, Keegan. And he erupts and starts crying. And then she realizes that she kind of broke the rule.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And she starts crying. And we just had this amazing moment. And I have two weeping kids being like you said. He said it was late. It was like 10 o'clock. I let him stay up late and I was like, you guys gotta go the fuck to bed. I was like, I pushed. We did championship games and we did dance recitals and now we watched a two hour movie at 10 o'clock. We have pushed it to the limit and everyone broke.

[Jackie]

It was very, very fun.

[Kevin Clancy]

But I wanted, I was going to post that, but I was like, their, their friends probably could see that at this point for sure. And I don't want them to be crying, you know, So I got to pick and choose and I don't want to look like I'm exploiting, but I definitely do. It's like I've always just lived my life, so I gotta play it.

[Eddie]

It's a fine line for sure. But that. Honestly though, I, I do think there is some of that experience thing because the more John C. Riley, I listened to a podcast he did one time and he's like, everyone's always trying to look younger and get this done or that. And it's like, what about this period of life?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, just aging and talking about. You talked about when you were. I mean, that thing is when you're 25, it's inherently more interesting. Yeah. You're telling stories about hooking up and partying and traveling and no experience, you know, no. No responsibilities. And it's like some of the stories that I have suck. But I guess there's other people who are like, want to commiserate and they. It's more like commiserating than it is celebrating and enjoying things. But there is, I think with the.

[Jackie]

Vine thing I said too earlier where like, I didn't, I didn't feel any particular way about vine because I was like 27. And now you, like, now you're like. And so I wasn't like, I'm too old for stuff. I was like, there's. I just don't, like, I just do.

[Kevin Clancy]

This thing over here instead. Yeah.

[Jackie]

And then. But then when you're 35, you're like, am I too old now? It's like, no, I just still don't do that thing. Like, I'm good. There are going to be other interests of mine. Like, there will be new apps. There might be a new app that I do like and I'll use that one in five years. I like, I don't really do, like, videos.

[Kevin Clancy]

I do think that there is something like, I think I'm bad at TikTok, you know?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, I mean, like, I do. I do. I just post the same things. Basically on Instagram, it kills. And on. On Tick Tock, it does not. And. And I even, like, I look at Jack Mac and we do the same thing, but he does it Tick Tocky.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I think I do it like newsy, you know? Yeah. I could see or whatever. He does differently. Whether it's tangible or intangible, it zooms. We're talking about the same topic, same green screen, same everything. But there's a. There's a vernacular and a style and.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Whether or not he even realizes it, like, that's what Tick Tock is. And I think people probably look at me being like, I don't know. That's a weird old guy. So whether or not you. You know, there's little nuances of, like, how to do those things. Things that, you know, it's. It's. I. Obviously, we're not dancing and doing that, but even the way that you would cover things we have done by the way we did. And that's the perfect example of something where I was like, that's going viral. That's making money.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

We are just never gonna be that guy.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's just like, Right. You know, telling me to like, you have to sing a song now. It's like, we don't do. We just don't do that.

[Eddie]

Erica accepted my answer, by the way.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. You know what?

[Eddie]

I get that. That's not really you.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right. Right. You gotta be. I mean, at the end of the day, it's authenticity. It's like, you can. Should work within your limits.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Kevin Clancy]

But you can't be. Ever taken.

[Jackie]

Everyone, they always said that about Tick Tock when they'd be like, it's just. Just read your tweets into the phone. Like, that's a completely different thing. That sounds dumb.

[Kevin Clancy]

That is not. That's not.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

People wouldn't like that.

[Eddie]

You know, and also, I say the aging thing is. I'm getting ready to go to Turkey.

[Kevin Clancy]

Are you doing it? You doing.

[Jackie]

In Turkey?

[Kevin Clancy]

You. You're fine, dude.

[Eddie]

I know, I know. I'm.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm honestly, the guys in Turkey, you're gonna be like, there's gonna be guys in the waiting room. Like, what the is this guy doing?

[Eddie]

My crown is a little.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay. You got the back?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, I got the little, like the skull cap, you know?

[Kevin Clancy]

By the way, is turkey like 15 hours away? What is that, like 10?

[Eddie]

But I'm like half of it, like, doing it because the experience.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. What Would it cost if it wasn't for free? Is that five or six grand? That's not bad.

[Eddie]

Here.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's like, that's 20 well worth. I mean, if you have the means, the ability, and. And you're okay with flying to Turkey, and it's so worth it. Five grand to have hair. Hair is, like, the most important thing I. America stinks.

[Jackie]

I always thought it was.

[Kevin Clancy]

When it comes to that shit, America stinks.

[Jackie]

I thought it was ten grand, and I was always like, why the fuck are people flying across the country and spending a couple hundred bucks to save three grand? Like, that doesn't make sense. It's that experience.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean, there's the. There. People beyond the hair. People are doing, like. There's a term for it. I can't remember it now, but it's like. It's like, tell. It's like health travel. There's a catchphrase for it where it's like, you fly to a medical tourist. Yeah, that's it. That's it. You fly to Turkey, get all of your health tests, everything done, and fly back. And it's cheaper than if you just, like, went to a doctor here.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's like 800 bucks. And you could get everything scanned on your.

[Kevin Clancy]

You get like. Like, stuff that here, you have to be like, 50 before your insurance covers it. You get done, you know, whatever, all your blood, all your skin, all your everything, and you can. First of all, I don't want to do that because it's going to come back with a whole bunch of shit that I got to take care of now. But, you know, in America, it will cost you, like, $50,000 and, like, legitimately, like, like tens of thousands, like $30,000. And over there, it's like 700. Fucking crazy.

[Eddie]

That too. I might throw while you're there.

[Jackie]

You might as well.

[Eddie]

I'm saying they're like, teeth whitening. 200 bucks. All right. Please. I feel like I'm an amateur.

[Kevin Clancy]

You guys are going to come back like veneers, new hair, chiseled abs, implants in the calves.

[Eddie]

I'm gonna do it.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, document that. We want to see that one. All right, man. Get over the bracket.

[Eddie]

All right, guys.

Like how long is too long to have not gone to the dentist?

[Eddie]

Three years is all right.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Also fights if you haven't listened to anything by the story so far they have five albums and just released a new one and they're freaking phenomenal. And, and you and I have have the same music taste. So listen to their new album start to finish. Fall in love with a brand new band. Jackie doing awesome on Fishbowl. Usually I would just listen to KFC radio and that's all the barstool I would get. But now Fishbowl is amazing. Shout out the bowl. Shout out the bowl. Kevin, you know, you, your content's just freaking awesome. Gratitude, man. Yeah. Fuck Pavs, dude. Gratitude. It's gratitude. I honestly, you know, it's funny to go back to last episode where we were talking about guys getting compliments.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And we just talked about it with Eddie where the guys complimented me on my blogging and I was like, I haven't gotten a compliment in so long. I do, I do get it. What's. What is it?

[White Sox Dave]

Should we all give each other compliments? Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean, we probably should be doing that like just in life. You know what I mean? But like, I'll get. I shouldn't say that because I do Get. I get a lot of comments that are, like, designed to counterbalance the hate, where they're like, I don't know why people hate you so much. Like, I like your content. You're great. Keep doing it. For every one that's like, you're a scumbag. You ruined your family. There's a bunch of people being like, you're an amazing dad and. But they're kind of doing it because of that. You know what I mean? Just very rare that someone's just like, hey, man, like, you're great.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah. My friends and I, like, for a pregame when my friends would make us all go around and give compliments, it was, like, the best way to start night.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Yeah. It's got to be genuine, you know, you got to know that it's kind of real.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

But, like, the amount of. Because part of it is, like, just shut the up and do your job and, like, oh, people are being mean to you. Or. Or they're. Oh, they're not being outwardly nice to you, like, shut the up. There are worse problems in life. That is true. The distance that it goes, though, when someone is just like. Or, like, you know, when we. We. We. I feel like we always get, you know, bad news about work where it's like, hey, you're not growing this month. Or, like, we need to get our rates up, this downloads, whatever. And then finalberg, and you guys sat in on, like, one meeting and saw, you know, how much how well we perform in comparison to, like, other shows, and it was like, oh, this feels great. Like, now I know we're doing something right. And, you know, as much as you don't, you shouldn't, like, rely on other people doing it, like, talking to you and get complimenting you. It just goes a fucking long way. A compliment will get you through a month. Yeah, yeah.

[Jackie]

One compliment.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, a genuine one. Someone get me through, like, four weeks. And it's like, it doesn't even have to be someone who, you know, obviously, if, like, if a really talented person outside, unsolicited, it'd be great. But even if it's just like, someone here who sells our shit, works on our shit, produces this, co stars on that. If they're just like, yeah, this is really, like, great, or this is performing really well. Let me just let you know that somebody said this about you. The day I'll get through a month. Yeah, yeah. And then it'll. Then I'll, you know, slowly drain. Yeah, I think. Yeah, it probably lasts me, like, an hour also.

[White Sox Dave]

Editing myself has.

[Kevin Clancy]

How much is this Editing herself drained. Oh, yeah. I mean, like, a lot of times I'll be like, hey, we should probably take that one thing out. And she's like, yeah, I'll do that. Because I'm taking, like, a lot of stuff. I said, wait a minute. A lot of the you said is either funny or, like, a part of the story.

[White Sox Dave]

I take out less and less every time because I get lazy.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay, good.

[White Sox Dave]

But you should not have to look at yourself in podcast lighting. For the amount of time that I look at myself, it has.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, by the way, let's just. Just get better lighting.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah, I don't know how to do that.

[Kevin Clancy]

The recent lighting's been better.

[White Sox Dave]

No, I know. It's, like, good, like.

[Kevin Clancy]

But is this good lighting or not good lighting? I will pay for good lighting.

[White Sox Dave]

Good lighting. You can just see too much. Like, I. I don't want. It's like, how, like, HD high def.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's, like, not good. There are. Sometimes I feel like I've gone into studios and been like, whoa, I look good.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I'm like, if. If this is that to me, that's worth the investment of, like, let's. Let's. If. If these are really expensive lights or some. If we all look good again. I mean, it is crazy, man. The podcast world is so nuts. I don't know which. I don't know how I feel about it. I kind of talked about it with Fidelberg, where it's like being somebody who started podcasting, started early in. Podcasting is cool to see how powerful and important it's become. But on the other hand, it is a little bit silly how. How important it's become, you know? So part of me is like, I think it matters if we look good. And, like, the amount of even Harold coming in here yesterday, Harold Peronel, his makeup artist, came in, touched him up. They decided whether or not he should wear his blazer or not wear his blazer. They made him take everything out of his pockets that his pants were not bulging. And that's the kind of shit that, like, it's probably silly, but it also probably really matters and makes you look good and makes people think a certain way about you when you do it every time. And that's how you become a successful star. And we are just like. I don't know. You know what I mean? Huh? There's a charm to that. So that's what I mean. That's. That's my point about, like, should. Should podcasting be that where you Know, it's like you tune in and the boys look as, you know, great. Or is it, you know, it's like, almost better. That's like, oh, you look like a slob today. Because he was having a down day. Like, oh, I. You know, I know that feeling. Or whatever, you know, I was taken back by the suits. You guys looked unbelievable. Yeah, the suits were great. That's what I mean. Like, that's similar to the compliment. It's like, if we just were wearing suits every day, people would probably be like, yo, I don't know. You guys look great. You know, like that. That's a podcast.

[White Sox Dave]

Your lighting, that specifically was really good too. It was like you were, like, glowing.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wait, just me?

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah. Like, I mean, fights. Fights was kind of blending into the couches. Yeah, like, really, like, whatever.

[Kevin Clancy]

But looking back, knowing now, after we finished that episode, or I guess that's this episode, right?

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah, no, no, last episode.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay. So now knowing, like, looking back at the episode in suits, knowing that Fidelberg was self conscious the whole time, you absolutely can see it. He was like. He was like, sitting on the couch like this. It was like the whole time being like, what do I look like? What do I look like? What do I look like? He. Afterwards, he. I was like, oh, I kind of forgot that I was even wearing the suit. Like, I just felt natural. And he said, pass. He was like. He was. He was saying, like, I. The, like, the whole episode I've been, like, completely tense because he's like, I didn't get a chance to look at myself in the mirror beforehand, so I don't know how I looked. And he's like, the couch is not the right color and all that. It was actually very funny. At the end of it, he went to the bathroom and he came back and he goes, should have looked in the mirror. And he lifts up his arm. He had a tag the whole time hanging down. But it is funny watching, like, looking back, knowing that. That he was just so tight. Yeah, listen, I'm hot as shit. What do you want me to say? White Sox Dave calling you saying your balding was crazy. I almost, like, I was. That was so stupid that I just kind of. I just was like, no, it's. That's the part in my hair. The fact that, like, pretty much everybody immediately was like, no, that's just where his hair is parted. Let's talk about that. That clip, that was so funny. I watched it 15 times, 100 times. Have you seen it? Okay, I don't know if this is a Guy thing. I think you'll appreciate it no matter what. But to me, this is the funniest clip from barstool in like 10 years. Five years. This is so good. Genuine old school bar stool. It was the dog walk draft. We were talking about tv. I had bent my head down. I was reading something, so I bent my head down and you could see the top of my head and you could see the part. And Dave goes, are you balding? And I was like, I think it's just my part. Like, whatever. I'm looking at my cards, my shows on my card, and then he starts to call out cons for being bald and cons. He shaves his head. He knows he's balding, so he bixit. And what unfolded was so goddamn funny and so natural. Like, cons almost had that in the chamber. Like he knew it was coming and he just rips him. By the way, I do. People call me bald all the time. And I'm like, listen, do I have a perfect hairline? No. Do I have like a 40 year old hairline? Like where I got the power alleys? Yes, but. But you're calling me bald. Like, do you know what actual bald people probably feel like? I have times where I'm like, I desperately need a haircut because I'm like, it's too much, you know, I know, again, not perfect. But these are the times where I'm like, I can't, I can't. It's like the motherfuckers I put out, I quote, tweeted, the smallest man dis. And I got so many people being like, this song could be about you. And I'm like, bro, you can say whatever you want about my marriage, but when you're talking, people say that about Diddy. When I talked about Diddy, people were like, who are you to talk about this guy? I'm like, he is the most prolific rapist of all time. Zach Bryan is apparently spreading STDs everywhere while what? You know, all of that that they talked about. How am I getting lumped in with this? Like, it drives me. And then it's like, so I. I'm like a rapist, dangerous, alcoholic, womanizing bald person. None of these things are true. None of it. Anyway, play the cons clip because. And look at me the whole time if I'm on, if I'm in this edit because I was just. Kevin, you're loving. A little bit brutal. Is it just part of the. That's just his part. I think Dave's trying to wish baldness on everybody. Yeah, he's like. He's trying to get everybody over to Turkey. Aren't you exceptionally thinning, Connor? He's bald. Me, I shaved my head. What do you like? So who are you? Talk. Because I've already accepted that's who I am. That's the lot in life God gave me and I'm comfortable with. Dave, look at my face. I'm handsome. You need the hair, buddy. I'll say that. You need the hair. Okay, you're short, you're short, you're ugly, you're overweight. Gabe. I get it. Go to Turkey. Take care of the hair, bud. I have challenge. Connor, I will beat you. I will beat you in a one mile race. In a one mile race. The next time I see you. Do you forget that I was in the army for a decade plus of my life? Decade plus. Dave did run the marathon. He ran the marathon. I've run five marathons.

[Jackie]

I had to do a two mile.

[Kevin Clancy]

Test in the army. Dave, do you know my best two miles in the army? Are you f. You have to run two miles in 16 minutes? You know what my best. I know what the army time was in the army. It was 11 minutes, nine seconds. 50 years ago. 50 fucking years ago, Dave. The difference is I'm an athlete, you're not. Some of these things will never leave me. Challenge. Challenge. That was so fucking funny to me because first of all, he was so genuine. He's like, you're short, you're ugly. And then he pauses, he goes, you're overweight. It went on even longer than that on the real show. It was such a dressed out. He just fucking flamed him. But the challenge, like he threw the red flag. He was like, challenge has his finger in the air. I will challenge you to a one mile race. As if like being short, bald, overweight, all the stuff he said will just be erased if he beats him in a one mile race. That to me is so perfectly old barstool of like where you're all idiots. We're all just being dumb Neanderthal shit. Like, you're ugly, I'm faster than you. But that I'm handsome, you need it. Oh, God. So I think that's obviously got to happen. Dave was supposed to come with Eddie, but Captain Khan's daughter was sick. But he. So he couldn't do it. But he was going to fly in and they were going to do the race. There's a lot of people at barstool who think they're still 18 and they're like I can fucking dunk and I can run this many minute mile. And didn't somebody say, Didn't Hank say we could try to dunk? Like recently? He was like, I'm going to work towards it. So it's not like impossible, but it's pretty, pretty impossible. I actually really wonder if you don't start. I feel like you could really even like bust your ass and work out, but if you're like 30 plus, it's just like you don't have the bounce. You know what I mean? Would you. You can still dunk. I can't talk anymore. Anymore. Now you might wanna. Word of advice. Yeah. Try to get back to that point. Yeah, I am right. If you can dunk when you're like dirty. Yeah. It's like being a magician, you know, like when people go nuts for Oz the mentalist. O's the mentalist. Like if you were just like, you're hanging out at the park, especially if you have kids later, like, if you could just. If I could dunk right now. Yeah. I think my kids would think I'm Superman. Yeah. And you're like young enough that you probably could recapture it. I don't think I could be. If I. Even if I got in shape, started eating better, all that shit. Lost weight, gained muscle, I still don't think I'd have the explosiveness to ever dunk. Yeah, I mean, it was only for like a year. How was dunking? And then in games or just be able to. Just be able to donkey. I would never try. That'd be crazy. But I was like, for a year I was just dunking consistently. And if I could dunk, quit, I would go to the park every day and just dunk. Look at me dunking. I dunked the ball a hundred times in a row. So we have a lot of people at barstool who think that and challenge and make these challenges. Sometimes I think cons is smart enough and realistic enough to know what he can do and cannot do still if.

[White Sox Dave]

He'S running at 11.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, that was in the army.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah, I know, but still.

[Kevin Clancy]

But like, yeah, I'm. I'm of the school of mine. If at any point in your life you could run like a 550 mile, like two, like while running two miles, you probably are. You could probably still bust it if you needed to. He's like, I gained 15 pounds. It was 15 years ago. I'm not gonna be able to do a five something mile. But he's probably gonna do like a seven, you know, like A low seven. And, and yeah, I think people do forget that, like when you're, when you were actively in war, you probably can, can still access. You can dial it back. You know what I mean? So I, I would bet heavily on. On Captain Collins on that one, Dave. White Sox Dave very much thinks he has the Bert Kreischer, Mickey Mantle gene thing going for him. He thinks he can do anything. And I will say Dave is more. He is surprising, he's more capable than what you think when you look at him because he is stockier and smaller and you. I don't know, I just don't think people look at him and go like, that guy can probably run a marathon and throw a ball 90 miles an hour and all those things. He can do some shit. But I think he's getting older too, and he's forgetting what the reality of the situation is. I would pretty much think that Captain Cons would be a lock on that one, but I don't know. Sometimes you get surprised at barstool.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah, no, I would say cons.

[Kevin Clancy]

Cons.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Locked in. So, I mean, this will happen for sure. The good thing about this one is you don't need to. Like, it's not many. It doesn't take a lot to set up a one mile race. As far as the original question, though, by the way, the oil change is crazy. Like, I went to get my oil change because the fucking. The light came on again. And I. The last time I got my oil checked, they said, you know, at this many miles, you should get it checked again. And I didn't get it checked till the light came on, but the light came on like 4,000 miles after the Valvoline guys recommended it to me. I'm thinking, why is the light not coming on at the same time you're recommending it to me? Because that makes me feel like it's a racket. If you, if you tell me you need to come in every 3,000 miles, but the light's not going on until I go every 6,000 miles. That just feels like you're trying to double up on the oil changes, you know? But then he takes out the little dipstick thing and he goes, look at this. Like, look, look how bad this is. Like, we need to flush your engine out and do it right. And I'm like, I don't know what that looks like. Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. I just take your word for it, you know what I mean? So it feels like the oil change thing has been like, kind of like. Yeah. You know, you have to come in every, you know, like three times a year. I think you guys just want to make money on fucking oil changes. You know what I mean? It's hard to tell what's a scam and what you really to do. Dentist. Dentist is the biggest scam going when you think about it.

[White Sox Dave]

Oh, I know.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, if you don't brush your teeth, you need the dentist. But if you floss and brush and use mouthwash every day, that's just what they're going to do at the dentist.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know what I mean?

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's, it's almost like it's like you wash your body every day, Right. If, if like you didn't do that, you'd probably need a doctor to like, you know, I don't know, save your skin. And it's like. But you just clean it.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah, yeah. Or like the orthodontist stuff is like, what? Really?

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, orthodontist. I, I, I somehow got stuck in like orthodontic algorithm on it on Instagram. Yeah, the, that they can do with like braces.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

I watched a time lapse. This had two teeth in like the bottom of his mouth, like that part. And I watched that they put brackets, like, on his skin almost. And it pulled it up out and in to like here. It was just like, who the fuck figured that out? Some. Somebody was just working on. Be like, you got crooked teeth. We're gonna put metal brackets on it, pull it with wires, and it'll be straight. What?

[White Sox Dave]

It does seem like an ancient.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, I almost think it's the opposite. I feel like people usually like, I don't know, these are my teeth and they're crooked. And then people are like, well, we need to make like your smile pretty. So like, we will slowly move these teeth like little centimeters millimeters over time. I think veneers have gotten out of control though. Dude, I gotta get mine. I gotta get mine done. Really? Yeah. Well, I have, I have veneers. And so I used to chip my. I have. These four are veneers. Yeah. And I used to chip my two front teeth so often, just like being an idiot, playing sports like backyard wrestling, just being a. And I kept chipping them and chipping and they just kept doing like these little fixes. And eventually my mom was like, you just gotta get fucking veneers. So she hooked me. I was like 18 at the time. She kind of paid for them. She was like, you know, net. But you're supposed to get them changed every like 10 years. Installed my first set. So I'm on like. But again, I'm like, the only reason I'm, I'm really gonna get them changed is this one has a crack down the middle and you can. It's starting to be visible and I'm sure it's also like not good for bacteria and like that. But other than that, I was like, I don't know. They look fine. Right. Do I really need to go get them changed every 10 years? Because that sounds like you want, you know, another 10 grand from me. But you. What you're saying just too many people are getting them or they're. Or they're. The beers are very obvious with people. Yeah. Like, where it's like Matthew Stafford is what made me realize it. Ridiculous. It looks like, you know, Chiclets legit. My thing though is like when I got them done and I'll probably do this again, this time I'm probably going to whiten the out of the rest of my natural teeth. Yeah. And get some white ass veneers. I don't want to look ridiculous. But when they like, I remember them, they were holding up different colors of like examples and they were like, do you want a more like natural look? Like, no, I want white teeth. Yeah. I'm not gonna do all this and get like some off white, tan, beige ish teeth. Because he's like, that's really what your mouth is supposed to look like. Like, I don't care. It's like when you get fake tits and they're like, you really, like, you should keep it on the smaller side. It's like, I'm here to get big tits, bro. Like, I get. I'm not gonna do like a double F, but I'm not gonna, you know. Do you want to go to like a B cup? No, I want titties. You know what I mean? I'm not gonna go through all the struggle and then be like, your teeth look like, you know, regular ass people teeth, you know? Yeah, you have, you have good teeth. Like.

[White Sox Dave]

No, I'm gonna get veneers like as. That's gonna be one of my, my next things. I don't like. I just like, they're, they're. I don't like, I don't love them.

[Kevin Clancy]

They're short. No, they're short.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Smile like they're fine. Show me your teeth. It looks like totally normal teeth. Teeth.

[White Sox Dave]

They're just like. I don't know.

[Kevin Clancy]

They're short teeth.

[White Sox Dave]

They're short teeth. Like I kind of like baby all teeth.

[Kevin Clancy]

They're what?

[White Sox Dave]

Baby, baby doll teeth.

[Kevin Clancy]

I got a little baby doll team. What you should do is spin that and be like, look at you, big tooth, baby doll teeth. It's actually so compared to your chompers. She's not cheap though.

[White Sox Dave]

I know. And it's one thing that's not getting cheaper.

[Kevin Clancy]

I remember being like like oh, 10 years from now they'll be like, they'll figure out new technology and it's still. It's like 2500 bucks a tooth.

[White Sox Dave]

Really?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[White Sox Dave]

My friend just sent me a video of like me from freshman year and I was like, mark my words, by the time I'm 30, I'm gonna have $20 million. I mean $4,000 of credit card debt. Like I'm not on that track at all.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yo, this credit card debt is weighing on you, huh? No, it comes up every.

[White Sox Dave]

It really doesn't affect me at all.

[Kevin Clancy]

I decided I'm going to go bonkers on bitcoin. Everything, everything's all settled for me money wise. Now I wish it was like a little bit earlier because it's at an all time high now. But if you really think about it from the long haul, like if it's worth 80,000 versus 60,000, it's like if you believe in it, that's pretty negligible. Which I know is. Obviously that's a lot of money. But the point of like the invest. It's being like, like no, nothing else. Would you ever be like, I wish I got in on Apple at like 420 instead of 440 a share. You'd be like, I wish I want to get Apple, you know, and buy stock in Apple. I think it's, it's just, it's like owning. It's like owning like a. It's not. It's like almost only property. Yeah. It's like a diamond or a gold or it's like a standard that like if El Salvador makes it their. El Salvador has like $119 million of Bitcoin is like their national currency. If shit like that is happening, it's just going to keep going. Like it's just I especially like a year ago and I could take it out now probably really use the money. And I know, dude, don't ever touch that. Yeah. Do not do it. You leave that shit. How much you have? You have to say but like 10,000. Yeah, I mean if you just leave that alone, you'll have a. You'll be able to pay for your kids college or retirement or whatever. Like there's no need to sell it now if you. You don't have any bills or anything to worry about. I'm just. I. Part of me wants to go, like, bonkers with it because here's how I think. You know that story of the guy who, like, lost his hard drive in the land in the landfill? Yeah. If you don't know the story, this guy had, like, 200 bitcoins. So there, you know. So I think today it's going to hit $100,000 per bitcoin. He had 200 of them, but he lost this hard drive because he got him so early, that it was like, this is fake. This is never going to be anything. And it's in a heart. It's in a landfill somewhere. Somewhere in America, I think, like Illinois. And he has been, like, on this crusade to try to look through the landfill to try to find it. And the most recent thing is, I think he petitioned, like, the city to be like, can I officially make it into, like, a. Like a work site and try to find this, like, I'm sure hire, like, bulldozers and look, people look for it, and they denied him. And I think he's trying to, like, sue them. I'm sure they're like, we don't. We don't know what you're gonna find there. Dead bodies turn up or whatever. So we can't have that. But I could imagine being like, If I have $200 million worth of something. Yeah. Potentially, I'll. I'll spend the rest of my life looking through there. Yeah, that's. It's better to forget your job. Just go try to find that fucking hard drive.

[White Sox Dave]

You know, I would not. I would just be like, it's gone, and just lose it. Like, I would.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's so funny because he would say I would be like, there's no chance.

[White Sox Dave]

I would go through.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's worth. It's worth me, like, trying to hire somebody, like, to go find it. But my point being that when I see stories like that, I'm like, man, I wish I had bitcoin like that. And it's like, you can go buy it at your own level, you know, but it's like, it's attainable. Go do it. Every time. You're like, man, I wish that I had it. It's like, you can. Yeah, everybody wishes they got in earlier, but, like, get in now. I don't know. I just feel like it could go absolutely bonkers. And there's like, it's a very limited amount of it, you know? Considering what it is. So I think I'm gonna go. Gonna go heavy on it. Sucks being in New York though. You can't. It's very hard to. They have limits and restrictions and there's like, there's companies that you can kind of basically convert your paycheck. Like it takes a little bit of your paycheck and buys bitcoin like every. Every pay period. So just kind of a cruise. You can't do that kind of in New York. How about the guy I forgot which NFL player got paid 13 million in Bitcoin? Yeah, well, that, that's. So basically he was doing. I think that, I think he was using the same company I'm talking about Strike, where they. I think all they're doing is just taking a little bit of your paycheck and they go buy it. It's not that you're getting paid in bitcoin, you're just converting it. But it's out of sight, out of mind. And I heard a story of a guy who, when, when bitcoin dropped to like 20 grand, he sold his Lamborghini. He was a rich guy, already sold his Lamborghini and put all that into it and turned to lamborghini. It's like $8 million. And I'm like, I hear those stories and I'm like, it's like, go do it. Like just go try to buy some. So I don't know. We'll see. Speak of the devil. Lou calling me. I'm sure he's. Anyway, I guess next voicemail. Nick's beat the, the Sixers the other day. Did you see Deuce McBride just body Joel Embiid? No, I missed. Embiid was coming. Trying to like just come across the middle and Deuce just kind of like shouldered him and be like off his feet like flu. That dude is washed. It's over. I'm telling you, if it hasn't already happened. I think he's about to just go right off a cliff. It goes fast with those big men. They had him ranked is like the sixth best player in the NBA going into the year. And I get why he's cracking top 25 right now. But yeah, I mean I get based on his skills and what he did, but when it goes with those big men, it goes. And right now everyone's playing for the mid season NBA cup.

Limited time offer. See [e-mail] promos KFC Radio Second time posting in KFC fights Jackie especially now Jackie that she's involved on the third chair. Adolescent dad lesson was a great segment. Can we bring that back? And at what point does Kevin with his money go to adolescent and the other two go to a data lesson state as we continue or who knows. But we'd love to bring back adolescent adolescent Adolescent was a fun one when your weekends very much differ. Always loved hearing that when me and Feitelberg were living very different lives of he, he was like a kid and I was doing dad. We both kind of. He's kind of met me on the other side of that where he's. It's not like he's partying and going all over the place anymore. I don't know how to do it for I guess. I guess you could just be. Could do adolescent adolescent with you. That feels more like a boy thing.

[White Sox Dave]

I mean. Yeah. Oh my God. I'm starting to like get in bed at 9.

[Kevin Clancy]

You're an old woman now.

[White Sox Dave]

I'm kind of becoming an old woman.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. So I mean I, I still think of it as. I think of Fidelberg as like my goofy like clown friend. I just treat Jackie like I treat Shay like, like what I pulled such a dad, move. Yesterday on the. On the sidewalk, when we passed. When we passed each other, like, I do that to Shay. And I was like, I got. Jackie was coming the opposite direction, and I just decided to. With her, and I was like, oh, my God, is that Jackie Nichols from Barstool Sports? Do you guys know her? Fishbowl jacked up, like. And she's like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. And I was like, as. And then we just, you know, you went your way and I went mine. And I was like, I literally do that to my daughter, like, all the time. Just. Just to. Just with the express purpose of embarrassing her.

[White Sox Dave]

As soon as I saw you, I saw you open your mouth, I was.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, oh, yes, that's right. And, like, Shay does the same thing. He's like, dad, stop.

[White Sox Dave]

The other day, I went. I was, like, crossing the sidewalk, and, like, I. I went to, like, like, cover my eyes from the. Shield my eyes from the sun. And, like, it looked like I was saluting, and everyone stopped to look at me. And I was like.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I. You should have finished it.

[White Sox Dave]

I held there for a second. I felt so much power in that moment. But then I just was like.

[Kevin Clancy]

I felt really awkward. But I don't. I don't get what he means by. I guess if I was just to get reckless with my money, I could be, like, adolescent again. But I'm, like, the furthest thing from that.

[White Sox Dave]

Doing yachts?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, I don't have yachts. I'm hoping that I. That maybe, maybe, maybe if I dump it into Bitcoin, I can. I don't feel like I have, like, I. I'm, like, worried about money more than I ever was now that I have it, which is very true.

[White Sox Dave]

Problems.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Well, that's true. But I'm also, like, I don't want to be the guy that, like, once you have money, if you don't do it right, people look at you like, oh, he's the idiot who, like, blew it or didn't invest it. Right? Or something like that. You know what I mean? So I had to pay a fuck ton in taxes. It went. It kind of went so fast. Like, paid a fuck ton in taxes. I bought a house. Cash. I bought other people houses, like, but, like, helped my family buy houses. And then, like, the divorce settlement was way higher than I really ever thought it was going to be. And it's like, all right, obviously, champagne problems. I'm talking, but it's not like, you know, kick my feet up and never work again sort of shit. You know what? I mean, so it's certainly not like go be a adolescent and blow it all, you know.

[White Sox Dave]

I feel like I saw a chart once. I was like, your age is like technically like the, the last. The least amount of like actual like, you know what I mean? Like, because like with family and kids and everything, like it doesn't. Oh, later in the career to actually make like, like, like comfortable money.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wait, say it again. So like when you're. It's like my generation, like my, my. The number my age.

[White Sox Dave]

Like the, it's like the, the number your age. Like in terms of like having just made money, like starting to make like not like just 20 year old, like whatever money. But then it's still like you're supporting a family.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[White Sox Dave]

Like the older you get, obviously, like the more your career.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think what happens is, I think a part of it is like inflation and cost of goods and all that. But I think the rate at which your bills pile up at my age.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

If you put kids in private school, if you, if they, you know, all the. You have to pay for with them potentially. Unless you're really getting like serious raises and bonuses and promotions at work, the bills like start to outweigh the, the money. So it's like, yeah, I'm making more than I ever did, but I also have way more responsibility than I ever did where if I, you know, you could cut my money in half. But if I didn't have kids and all that shit, I would feel like a baller. Like, I can't, I just can't even fathom anymore the idea of like not having bills. Everybody has some bills, but just like every, you know, few months I have to pay like an installment of tuition. That's a fuck ton of money. And if that just wasn't there, I'd be like, oh my God, I use all my money for me, you know, or even like if I didn't have kids and we got divorced, like, it would have just been like, see you later. Like, you go your way and make your money, I go my way. Am I making my money? And it, it's just kids, they're so fucking expensive. I had my first experience with like being a dad this week and I went down visit my little sister and had my little brother with me. And I real like, it all like clicked for me. Like, oh, this is why parents are so like stressed about money and always like, because everything just triples. How is your. My little sister is 22, my little brother is 17. Okay, but like still like, we go out to eat and it's just triples. It's like, now I get it. You're not just taking care of yourself. Click travel. Like, I get it now. Yeah, I. There's a. There's definitely a very big movement of like. I saw an article that was like grandparent, grandparent grief of like people coming to terms with they're not going to be grandparents because their kids have decided to not have kids or they had kids later in life because it's like an insane burden and very hard to pull off. I don't know how. Let me just say this. I'll look to straight into the fucking eyeballs of the people who have like. If you have like four kids, five kids, I do not know how you do it. I have two kids and I. The weekend I had, it was like, wake up and take this one to practice at 8am, come back and grab this one and take him to practice at 10am Then he's got a baseball game at 11, she's got dance at 2, wake up the next morning, she's got gymnastics, he's got football. We've got to go to like a birthday party. I blinked and it was like Sunday night, 9:00, weekend over. And that's with two. If I had a third, it would be like impossible. If it was double with four, I'm like, there's physically not enough people time and day to get all this done. And if you have anything over that, if you have like five, six kids, first of all, you have a litter. You don't have kids, you have a litter. And I almost would be at the point where I would question your motives. I'd be like, what's going on here? You're either a religious freak or you're trying to prove some sort of point, or you just want a little army of little to like, you know, I feel like people always tell me they're like, oh, I just make the older ones take care of the younger ones. Now it's like, well, just don't have that money and you don't have to worry about it. But I don't know what happens when there's a generation of people who are like, I'm not having kids, and their grandparents don't have. It's like part of it is cool because it's probably like, you saved money for this, for college or for this to spoil the kids. And then it's just like, well, I'm just going to spend it on myself. But there's definitely gonna have to be some Reckoning where it's like. I mean, it's a. You'd have, like, a legit population decline issue. Like Japan. I was reading about Japan once. Like, the. The birth rate is so low, all the old people are gonna die, and there's so few young people replacing them, they're gonna lose, like, a third of their population.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

If you were to just. If, like a fucking meteor hit tomorrow and you lost a third of your population, it would be considered, like, you know, an apocalyptic situation, and it's just gonna, like, happen to them because nobody's. No one's leaving it in. Nobody's having kids because it sucks. Like, you really have to be like, the. The. The weekend I had with my kids, with baseball and Rocky. Like, I was like, this is unbelievable. Like, you cannot replicate this. I don't care what people. The single people of the world who are traveling and. And partying and just doing what they want to do and not doing what they want to do. You can tell me how great that is. But, like, I. There's no amount of money or places I could go or whatever that would replicate that weekend I had, you know, but that's like, you know, these little. These. These what? These moments where I think people who don't have kids are very happy to just be like, I worked hard for my money and I'm, like, going to enjoy it. For me, everything I do, you know, it's a hard thing to like, convince people of.

[Jackie]

To.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's like, no. No. Have kids and, like, spend all the money on them and don't have the freedom and don't have. You know, I can see why people are not doing it. And I don't know how you. How you fix it, but you have. You two have to promise me, if either of you are married before 30, I'll kill you. And if you have kids before 30, I'll kill your kids. I'll wipe them all out. I'll kill your whole bloodline.

[White Sox Dave]

I mean, like, I'm not in.

[Kevin Clancy]

So insane to do that, so.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's also weird to think, like, I don't know, like, as a woman, I probably, like, am more likely to be like, the stay at home one.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[White Sox Dave]

So then if I have kids at 30, I only have five more years of a career. Like, that freaks me.

[Kevin Clancy]

Right, Right.

[White Sox Dave]

Like, that's so weird. Like, I worked my whole life. I went to college. I, like, busted my ass out of college, and now I only have five more years. Like, that makes me.

[Kevin Clancy]

I've never thought about it that way. That's a strange.

[White Sox Dave]

Like, I feel like I like, did.

[Kevin Clancy]

So much and I mean, you have to be. You don't have to be like a stay at home mom. Right. But theoretically that's on the table where it would be like, okay, all of that for nothing. Yeah, not for nothing.

[White Sox Dave]

So much money. Like, I should have gone to USC then. Like, yes, you know?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, so. Or even, I mean, it's just like, yeah, your kids would be like, oh, mom. Mom, like works around the house. And it's like mom used to produce a fucking major podcast and be on the mic, you know, like, you don't want to give that kind of shit up, you know? Yeah, yeah, it's hard. It's hard to do both. But I do think it's better. The real issue, I swear to God, I don't want to go back to like mad men days of like, you know, women stay in the house, cook and clean. You don't have bank accounts, you don't have rights and men control. I don't want that. But I think there's something to be said for when you have your set roles. It's like, like, I have to make all the money. And that sucks because that's like a burden. And, and it's scary to be like, I had to provide for everybody and you're at home. Like, this blows because I am gonna put my. A bullet in my head because these kids are driving me crazy and I don't, I don't get to use my skills and I had to leave my career behind, all that. But when everybody's doing a little bit of all of it, it sucks.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know, it's like when you, when you, when you're a mom and you have to work at your career and do the mom stuff and I'm, I'm doing the same thing. It's like we're all getting it to be a little bit shitty rather than. It's just like, I have this thing that sucks, but, like, then I don't have to worry about this whole other side of it.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And you have this thing that sucks, but you don't have to get up and go to work, you know? But when we both do the work stuff and the parenting stuff, and it's just like, no, I can't, I can't. Nobody can keep up. You know what I mean? I think it's crazy. It's very hard to be a, like, full profession professional if you're going to be a really engaged parent. It's very Hard.

[White Sox Dave]

So you don't think. Yeah, like, the having. I think you talked about how, like, it is kind of nice to have, like, days off.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think I have. I'm not going to recommend the divorced life, but if there was a way where it was like, you can still be in, like, a happy marriage and a one family unit. One unit family. And it's like, I'm gonna take a couple days off, and you have to do it all. It just. That doesn't work. You start to resent your spouse, like, so much. It's just like, I'm gonna put my feet up and chill and watch video game. Play video games and watch football because it's my day off. Like, your wife's just never gonna let you do that. Yeah, like, no, get the fuck up and help me with the kids. You know, but there is, you know, I. When I. But I also feel the other side. It's like, when I have my kids, it's. I do everything. I have to do everything for them. Like, it's never like, hey, honey, can you make the. Can you make lunch for them? You know what I mean? It's like, I have to feed them, I have to clothe them, I have to take them everywhere. We have to do the fun stuff. We have to do the serious stuff. We have to get the homework done. We have to. I got to get it, you know, follow all the rules, but also be the fun guy. And, you know, whereas I think when you're doing it together, you can kind of take time off. You know what I mean? Like, it's not constant, so I, like, jam all that work into it. But then I can kind of be like, all right, come, you know, Monday morning, back with their mom for a couple days, and I can reboot, you know, by Wednesday, I'm back at it. Like. But that's, you know, probably people view that as, like, I'm being a bad dad or controversial, whatever, but I think that's a better way than just being like, you're both miserable. It's kind of like when you first have kids and you have to take shifts of sleeping, who sleeps and who doesn't? Stereotypically speaking, it's usually like, if it's the dad's turn, you know, your wife's going to sleep and being like, it's your turn when it's mom's turn and things are not going well with the baby, Dad's getting out of bed. There's no way. You're just be, like, soundly sleeping while the baby is Screaming, crying. She's gonna be like, get the up and help me with this baby. But it really should be. It's like my turn. I need, I need a break. You know, it's, that's, that's where. I don't know, it's. It seems very hard to maintain that. Like, that's why a lot of people get pretty miserable sometimes where it's just like, this is. That's why you just shouldn't do it until you're ready. Ready, ready, ready, ready. Last one. Oh, you know what? Forget the voicemail. You want to talk fucking quantum particles for a second?

[White Sox Dave]

Should, should we.

[Kevin Clancy]

That we don't have enough time?

[White Sox Dave]

I mean, we do, but pretty long as is.

[Kevin Clancy]

Let's tease it for next time. Okay, let's do one last voicemail. But. And I also want Fidelberg to be here. Ah. Part of, part of me doesn't want fight over to be here, so. Because he'll just be like, yeah, I don't want to talk about this, but part of me wants to torture him with it as well. But that shit is crazy.

[White Sox Dave]

No, no, like I. This was the exact video that I found. Like the, the cartoon video. This is the exact one that I found years ago.

[Kevin Clancy]

And what got me, yeah, I had seen it a long time ago, but nobody. I didn't know about the observer part.

[White Sox Dave]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

But it was basically the idea of like the. If you, you know, I can't. I don't think we can dive into.

[White Sox Dave]

This is why I also get the rights to the video so we can put the full video in.

[Kevin Clancy]

You have to see the video. You have to, we have to give it a full explanation. It can't just be a quick thing. But it's basically like the world is a simulation and they almost like proved design. The way this was described was basically, think about a video game. When you, like, you are. You see a fucking castle in a video game, but the video game doesn't like, render the graphics until you go into the, into, into the castle. It's like right now it just looks like a castle from the outside. And when you walk in the door, it'll have all the intern, you know, inside stuff. But it doesn't, it doesn't, it does not generate that indoors until you're there, because it needs to save, you know, space and memory and all that sort of shit. And this was applying that to life where it was like, imagine basically, if life does not exist until you observe it and like set eyes on it and interact with it and they're kind of, like, scientifically proved that. Yeah. Which seems like it's impossible to. But they did with, like, Pro, I think. Photons. Protons.

[White Sox Dave]

Electrons.

[Kevin Clancy]

Electrons. Right. Yeah. So, I mean, this is all gibberish right now if you don't know what we're talking about. But we'll do it. We'll do it next episode where we can really talk about it. Sa. Sa.
