Dave Portnoy
What a fun surprise.
Kevin Clancy
I do have to point out that we are filming on top of three boxes on a rolling chair. Probably what like a $3,000 camera on top of a bunch of cardboard boxes, which, which actually is a. A thing for me. I noticed Dave did this this weekend too. I do this all the time. Dave's interview with the Philadelphia NBC people was just his laptop on top of eight books. He sits at a table like this and you stack up books and you put your laptop on top of it. I can't tell you how many times my personal is shoeboxes.
Dave Portnoy
I do shoeboxes.
Kevin Clancy
He had a bunch of books that I'm sure Dave has never read before. He pulls them off the shelf. Books and boxes in the world of barstool are simply tripods. And the amount of things that I have either done for a zoom on a laptop or I will have bottles are a big one for one minute, man, if I need both my hands, usually I just film like this, but I'll. I'll put it up against the thing and oh, I need to get a heavier one. I fill it up with water. Like the amount of shit that is just designed to hold cameras and phones. That's why I go on TikTok now and it's like, get this magnetic thing and this that I buy them all. They're like 2.99 and it's like, you can strap this phone to your head now. I get all of it. So I don't have to be doing the boxes.
Rhea Hughes
The octobuddy. The influencer.
Dave Portnoy
I have that, too. I never. I never use it. It's on my phone. Can I tell you?
Kevin Clancy
All you bitches have that?
Dave Portnoy
It is so. No, no, Kevin.
Kevin Clancy
So you're supposed to stick that to the wall.
Dave Portnoy
You shouldn't get this.
Kevin Clancy
I could have told you that's not gonna work.
Dave Portnoy
You will be so annoyed by it because it does not matter what surface you put it on, it's stuck. Like, if I put my phone here, two seconds. Oh, every single.
Kevin Clancy
That's what it's supposed to do, bitch.
Dave Portnoy
But. But I'm not using it in. I think I've stuck it up to make a video three times in total. I just sit every day and curse it. When I try to lift it off, I just don't take off.
Kevin Clancy
That was like an autism thing. I thought all you. Yeah, you like to fit things. I thought you were, like, popping them or.
Dave Portnoy
I also didn't buy this. It was a press gift. And I said, oh, that's nice. From Excedrin, actually. That's why the color is. Yes. I get press gifts from Excedrin, and that's the most.
Jackie
One of the most, like, girly women things I ever heard.
Dave Portnoy
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Like, I.
Jackie
Actually now they say the only other kid I know who has an Excedrin deal is a guy, but he is.
Kevin Clancy
Jewish, so that's about the same Jewish guy. Regular girl.
Jackie
That's my favorite.
Dave Portnoy
I get a lot of headaches in.
Jackie
Oh, hello. When they're. They're doing like we are. We are neither Jewish nor a woman, but like all old men, somehow we are both.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Don't you think it's at least. What do you think it is? I mean, like, I have long said that headaches are the great farce of our time.
Dave Portnoy
If you know you have, like. It pisses me off when I sit at home and I'm like, either puking up my gun. I can't see this.
Kevin Clancy
I was gonna say. No, no, no.
Dave Portnoy
This is too bright. I think headaches are fake.
Kevin Clancy
And I'm like, you have, like, migraines. I get that because I. Relatively recently, probably within the last five years, I think I had my first migraine and I was like, oh, this is what they're talking about.
Rhea Hughes
I hate when people say they have a migraine and they don't have a migraine.
Kevin Clancy
I hate that's what you do. I feel girls throw around migraine like it's fucking candy.
Dave Portnoy
If you know, migraines, you don't. You don't cry. Migraine. Because it's clear whether you have a headache or a migraine. Like, I can come to work with a headache. I can't leave my bed.
Kevin Clancy
That's what I mean. When I learned that when I. The first time I had an injection in my neck, and they up and they punctured my spinal column.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, God.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. So you're supposed to just do, like, a cortisone shot. They went too far. I remember I was laying face down in, like, a massage table.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And the doctor stepped up, and he was kind of, like, touching my neck, and he was like, okay, we're gonna inject here, here. And then I watched his feet disappear and a new pair of feet go in. And I'm sure it was, like, a resident or a kid. At the time, I was probably, like, 24. They're probably thinking he's got back problems, but he's young. We'll let the. You know, like, we can experiment. This guy goes too far. Punctures, I think, what they call the spinal dura, which is like the. Around your spinal cord, and then spinal fluid starts leaking out. And so you have spinal. You have fluid in your brain. Yeah, in your skull. That kind of keeps, like, your brain intact.
Dave Portnoy
Right.
Kevin Clancy
And that started to leak out, and so your brain starts to sag. Like, your brain is kind of attached to the skull. Yes. So the. Your brain is in your skull, and there's fluid around it, and then it starts to sag, and it's, like, kind of pulling down on, and it makes sense. And it. It. Like, all of a sudden, I was like, what? I remember walking back home from the injection, got off the elevator, and as I was walking down the hallway to my apartment door, I was like, w. Like, pinballing. I was like, this isn't good.
Dave Portnoy
I assume it's regenerative.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. So then. But then I. I Google it. I was like, intense headaches, blindness, dizzy, nausea, all that. And they said, like, did you just get injections? And they said, flip upside down and the sagging will stop.
Dave Portnoy
Okay. And the symptoms do, like a cartwheel.
Kevin Clancy
Well, no. So I laid on the bed, like, head over the. Like, I'm watching. Head over the bed.
Jackie
I know the image.
Kevin Clancy
It was the first thing that went through my mind. I was like, I'm doing it on, like. But they were like, if the symptoms stop, like, you. That's what's going on. And the symptoms went away, like, immediately. And then I sat up, and they Would come back.
Dave Portnoy
Oh my God. That's crazy.
Kevin Clancy
That was probably the first time I felt.
Dave Portnoy
How long did it last? Like that was your brain like sagging.
Kevin Clancy
On your few days. Like you could like go get like a. Yeah, basically they were like, you can go get like a patch that like almost like a little like mini.
Dave Portnoy
Surgery eyeballs, like pull your eye.
Kevin Clancy
The whole thing felt like my head was just going to explode.
Dave Portnoy
And they didn't tell you, like, hey, you might feel like your brain is.
Kevin Clancy
They didn't know your brain. Once I called them, they were like, oh, we probably punctured your spinal cord, but it's not like it's not supposed to happen.
Dave Portnoy
The story of your life.
Rhea Hughes
Did you get like money back or anything?
Dave Portnoy
Do you sue for?
Kevin Clancy
I guess. I mean, I probably could have, but I'm not.
Dave Portnoy
That feels dramatic. But anyway, my brain started sagging onto the bottom of my skull. I'd make a pretty big deal.
Jackie
No, I just slept upside down every night.
Dave Portnoy
I guess.
Kevin Clancy
You know what was really funny was do this. Yeah. At the time Caitlyn had friends from holy cross into town and we are like 20, early mid-20s. We're still like partying, you know, so we've got a full house in our like one bedroom apartment. Of course, I'm obviously not going out or anything, but I was like, yeah, go have fun. Like whatever. You know, sitting there like laying upside down for 12 hours. They're out like having a day. And one of her friends, they all come home, they're, they're, everyone's like passed out drunk. And this guy gets up to go to the bathroom and he's all like disoriented, blacked out, doesn't know what room he's in, what apartment he's in. Stumbles around trying to find the bathroom. Eventually falls through my glass coffee table, like, and I'm in bed and I hear him. You know, everyone's passed the out drunk.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
But I hear something going on. And again I'm like, upside down. What the fuck is going on? And then I hear like kaboom. Like glass shatters stone cold style. And I go out front and this guy is like in the wooden frame, glass shatter, just like bleeding everywhere. And I'm like, I'm like, I'm standing up now. So I'm like. I was like, I need to save you. Like, someone needs to save me.
Jackie
Absolutely.
Dave Portnoy
Jesus.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, man. That was. There was a time too, this. I've had so many.
Dave Portnoy
You got a lot of body issues.
Kevin Clancy
A lot of body issues.
Rhea Hughes
I had Underrated that you have two dead person bones in your body.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, yeah. In your shoulder. Right?
Kevin Clancy
So my shoulder. Yeah, my shoulder is just shot forever. And I remember coming home again drunk when I had. We first had gotten Duncan. And we're in, in, like, we're in our apartment.
Dave Portnoy
Donuts.
Kevin Clancy
We had opened up the door and he came out into the hallway of the apartment. So we're playing like in the hallway late night. And I was laying on the ground. I'm playing with the puppy. And I put my arm over my head kind of like this. And I must have just been drunk enough that I didn't feel it come out of the socket. And so then I sit up and it's out. And it's like. If you've ever had a dislocated shoulder when it's just like stuck out, it's just the worst. And at that point, I had reached a level where I put my arm against my leg and I would push against it and I could just pull and like pop it in. And it just wasn't going in. And we had to. I had to call, like, I guess 911. I don't know who we called.
Dave Portnoy
Right.
Kevin Clancy
And these. And I mean, we were hammered. Hammered drunk.
Dave Portnoy
That's always how it happens.
Jackie
Caitlyn's like.
Dave Portnoy
Figure it out.
Kevin Clancy
I think they just kind of did like a quick pop. But I was like, the amount of.
Dave Portnoy
Like, weird late night of that, that's, knock on wood. I've. That's, you know, my shoulders have stayed intact, but it is terrible. That's a fear, folks.
Kevin Clancy
It's the foreplay. Guys, let's talk Truly Unruly. When you spend every day following the.
Jackie
Countless laws of golf like us, it's.
Kevin Clancy
Refreshing to get a little unruly. Whether that means using the old hand.
Jackie
Wedge to escape the bunker or just cracking open a hard seltzer that breaks.
Kevin Clancy
All the rules, few things feel better. Truly Unruly is the first high alk.
Jackie
Seltzer that actually tastes good. It's hard hitting, but still light and.
Kevin Clancy
Refreshing, making it perfect for everything from.
Jackie
The front nine to the clubhouse. Find it near you at trulyhardselter.com locations. That's trulyhardseltzer.com locations. Hard Seltzer Beverage Company Boston, Massachusetts.
Kevin Clancy
Please drink responsibly.
Dave Portnoy
I'm a side sleeper, so I worry.
Kevin Clancy
I haven't slept on my side since.
Dave Portnoy
I think it's like I am now getting to a point where I'm only comfortable sleeping in my own bed, which I know is like, a thing People say, like, you're just comfortable there. Whatever. I'm like, no, I know, because it's an expensive mattress, and it's specific for the fact that I have, like, brittle bones all of a sudden. And I. But I sleep on my side, and sometimes I'm sleeping so hard that my. Everything in my body goes numb, and I'll wake up so hard, motherfuckers want to find me. Like, my. My arm will go numb, the side of my body will go numb, and I'll wake up, and I'll have to, like, in the middle of the night several times, having to relocate because my shoulders are, like, making my whole body go numb. I'm like, what the hell is going on?
Jackie
My brother was. Was so fat when he was a baby that, yeah, he. He. When. If he rolled, he knocked. He pulled his shoulder out of his socket. So when we were kids, we had to learn how to put his shoulder back in.
Kevin Clancy
How. How little we talking?
Jackie
When he was like, Like. Like a newborn baby. Like, like, couldn't walk or anything like that. Like, he was so fat. He was. I think he was born 11. 11. So he was.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, wow. Big boy.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, that's huge.
Jackie
And, like, natural. Yeah, I don't know the answer to that.
Dave Portnoy
I was gonna say. Oof.
Jackie
And then he was just so big that, like, once he started to learn how to roll, every time he rolled, he'd just ripped his shoulder. And then we were, like, seven.
Dave Portnoy
Well, it's so crazy.
Rhea Hughes
I had, like, nurse's elbow or whatever, but when I was a toddler, I was just, like, jumping too much or whatever, so then I would, like, hit it against something.
Kevin Clancy
She's a good jumper. 50 of the time she lands her jump.
Rhea Hughes
So then, like, 50 of the time, I would have to go to the hospital back in. So then eventually, like, my dad just learned how to, like, do it himself.
Jackie
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Once you, like, what's nurse's elbow?
Rhea Hughes
It's when you. When your elbow dislocates out of it, pop.
Dave Portnoy
Like. Like hyperextended.
Rhea Hughes
It's like, why. Why is. You know, I had.
Jackie
I had Popeye.
Rhea Hughes
It's, like, come out that so confidently, and then I never have an example.
Kevin Clancy
I'm sure, you know, there's just might do something that used to dislocate. Well, you have also talked to. I have the same thing as you. The. The. The. The backwards knees. If you lay.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I can't even bring that up because it's. There are so many issues. Like, I. The back of the knee thing is a real problem. Again, I can only sleep on my side now, because if I lay on my back, my knees, inverse. And it's like, I've done that before. And if I'm on the couch, it's the same. Like.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, you have to be bendy.
Jackie
Like.
Kevin Clancy
Like Freddelberg's knees don't go past no.
Dave Portnoy
Straight going the other way.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And it's like.
Kevin Clancy
And if you fall asleep that way. If you sleep like that for, like, six hours, your is bent.
Dave Portnoy
If I wake up, I have to. I have to. And we've talked about this. I have to l leg up and take it out of bed like I'm a thousand years old. It's arthritis. Like, I know it's arthritis.
Rhea Hughes
I was picturing, like, wicked witch of the Western mind.
Dave Portnoy
It's literally that I also. My hands. I've talked about this many a time. I get morning hands where I can't use my hands in the morning. Like, it's. It's. So if you ask me, it sounds.
Kevin Clancy
Like they're not morning hands. They're morning.
Dave Portnoy
To open a bottle of water before noon, you know, 11. I can. 11 o' clock usually. Then I'm good. They're numb. And. And it's like I'm. It's like I can't. It's like I'm. I'm Betty Draper, you know? Like, I. I thought that happening. Like, I watch Mad Men, and I'm like, betty, you and I. I mean.
Kevin Clancy
I haven't been able to sleep. I used to sleep on my right side. Haven't done that since 20 years ago. Used to sleep on my stomach. That gives my lower back issues. Now I got a neck thing going on. I can't sleep on my left. So I just have. I have one position.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And now. You know what? Even if you sleep, like, if you sleep in any position for too long, like, you get, like, stiff, you know? So now, like, that the only way I can lay causes me stiffness. I was like, I need to, like, hang upside down or something now.
Dave Portnoy
So, like, I'll. I'll try to. Like I said, side sleeper. I'll sleep. I got my legs on my sides. You gotta put a pillow sometimes. Well, now. Now it's become where I have to kind of. I have to kind of caddy corner my knees, because if they're together, that hurts. Like, the pressure from my knee to my other knee is like.
Kevin Clancy
Oh.
Dave Portnoy
So I have to sit like. Like, almost like a little, you know, and it's. Sometimes I'll fall asleep that way. And other times, I don't sleep. I came in here today and said, you guys are catching me in a good mood. Last night was the first time I got sleep in, like, three days.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Well, I also, like, it's so bad sober. Not sober, but, like, natural sleep is that. Ship has sailed.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, no.
Kevin Clancy
I need weed or Benadryl or any.
Dave Portnoy
Like, yeah, same.
Kevin Clancy
It cannot. I cannot just, like.
Dave Portnoy
Can I ask everybody in the room a question? Because I know that. I know you're a weed guy now, pretty much through and through. You're a weed guy for sure. Are you a weed girl?
Rhea Hughes
No.
Dave Portnoy
You'll get there. We. You'll get there as well. At what point, though, is weed? Like, what's. What's after weed? Like, what. I'm kind of at the point where, like, I don't know, you know, we all kind of just, like, cut back on drinking and started smoking weed. Like, that's the natural progression of things. I used to get blacked out. Now I really don't drink at all. Like, if I. I'll drink if I'm out and being social, but when I'm home, I am not drinking. Like, you'll never catch me, even with a glass of wine, right? So much stacking up. It's a real nightmare. And just because of the hangovers, I can't do it.
Kevin Clancy
So I'm with you, girl.
Dave Portnoy
A fuck ton of weed. But then now I'm getting to the point where, like, I.
Kevin Clancy
That's not doing it.
Dave Portnoy
I have tiny joints that I'll smoke, and I go through those too fast. So I'm like, all right, I can't do those. The pens. I was like, I got to get off these, you know, because again, I come home, and I'm, like, counting the. Counting the clock, waiting to come home and smoke this weed. Yeah. And that, to me, is scary a little bit. So I'm like, that's crazy. But, like, having those. And now I'm out of both, because I was like, don't buy any more, bitch. Like, you know, get over it. See, now I'm taking edibles every day. So I get home and I take a 10 milligram edible. You know, the. The real ones, not like the fake 100 milligrams or.
Kevin Clancy
You know what I mean?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, good ones. And I feel great. But again, sometimes it's, like, not enough. So what happens?
Kevin Clancy
The tolerance.
Dave Portnoy
What's next? Well, I thought, you know, it's in the. It's in the group, but no, no, no.
Kevin Clancy
Why don't you just have to keep upping your weed? Like if you need to take 100 milligrams of weed, do it before you start doing benzos.
Dave Portnoy
I also don't like, I don't go out and smoke weed. Like that's another thing.
Kevin Clancy
No, no, it's just to sleep.
Dave Portnoy
It's just asleep. Just to be in my house.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And like get stuff done.
Kevin Clancy
Right. Thing to do socially is midnight bean espresso martini.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, yeah. The party tonight. I have a good outfit. I can't wait till you see my outfit. Oh my God.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Red.
Jackie
I'll do the red carpet tonight.
Dave Portnoy
Amazing. Yes, perfect. Perfect. Yes.
Kevin Clancy
I've got a really good outfit.
Dave Portnoy
I picked it out last night. I got funky earrings just for the occasion.
Jackie
You need a full outfit.
Kevin Clancy
Outfit.
Dave Portnoy
Of course.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, I was like, this is.
Dave Portnoy
Well, it's espresso themed.
Kevin Clancy
I'm wearing it.
Dave Portnoy
I was going to wear it to work, but it's like. Hello. What? What?
Jackie
Well, I, you know, look, I. I'll pull one together.
Kevin Clancy
It's a launch party to wear just the merch. I have these midnight hoodies.
Dave Portnoy
Maybe you'd wear your. Wear your outfit. Yeah. But by then.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, oh, like what the.
Dave Portnoy
The, the tuxedo that I dusted up. Not, maybe not a tuxedo, but.
Kevin Clancy
Well, I'll tell you what, the tuxedo in the picture is ruined. Cuz I spilled a martini all over it.
Dave Portnoy
Well, even. Even better authentic.
Kevin Clancy
That, that, that commercial John was in the black tux and they're like, you put on the white one to like differentiate. And it did look cool, look nice. And I, I like, of course, huge. I remember, like, however, Pavs was in front of the camera. I don't think he could really see it. And he was kind of like, all right, it's fine. And I was like, it's not fine. There's a giant brown patch on this white.
Dave Portnoy
Were they able to photoshop it out?
Kevin Clancy
No, I just put on a black. So like all the commercial is in. The pictures were in white, but the commercials in black.
Dave Portnoy
Well, regardless. Very good. Very exciting. I see you posting updates every time it arrives at a new liquor store.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah. I'm on the crusade right now to get.
Dave Portnoy
I have a liquor store literally directly below my apartment, you know. Cool. And I go in there twice a week and I pop in. I'm like, hey, do you guys have. And they're. I mean, it's a very small liquor store. Like, I'll be surprised if they even like. I don't. They don't even have, like, High Noon.
Kevin Clancy
You know what I mean?
Dave Portnoy
They're not regular, but I asked them every day, and the guy at this point, I think is going to order it just. Just for you. And that was kind of my intention.
Kevin Clancy
You know, I'm steady learning. Like, it's just a. To get. And I've been asking. I asked the pink Whitney guys. I was like, is it was this, like, for you? They were like, yes. It's not. There's nothing that is just like, there, you know, or if there is, like, it's a chicken or the egg. It's like I. You, you. I have to drop it and promote it for liquor stores and places to stock it. I was like, oh, I wish. I just waited on the announcement till it was stocked. Like, they're not going to stock it until you talk about it.
Dave Portnoy
So it's this thing until.
Kevin Clancy
So people are like, oh, it's not available. Like, it's just. It just takes time. When it does come out, I've been told it will be nationwide and anybody, if you are a little mom and pop shop, you can order it. So, yeah, we just got to get that. The. The Tampa experience was wild. When I, I.
Jackie
When I said I woke up the next morning, just the video of Kevin being like, I'm in a parking lot.
Dave Portnoy
What do you crazy? I. I watched the video, but I didn't quite get it. Like. So you were going around signing stuff and.
Kevin Clancy
No, no, not even we. I was out. I was down in tampa for the two bears. 1k, 5k.
Dave Portnoy
Right.
Kevin Clancy
And that was a long day in the sun. I want to talk about things I can't do anymore. I can't go in the sun. I can't do it. I just can't go in the sun.
Dave Portnoy
I get well running in the sun. Are you crazy? Did you fast walk at least?
Kevin Clancy
He ran the whole thing. I ran for like 25 seconds first. Yeah, you know, I ran like. There was like a couple, like, fun parts that you, like, we had to run through. Also. The 5K is an unbelievable event. They had 2,000 people last time. For the first one, they had 2,000 people. The second one, they had 8,000 people. By. By five years from now, it's going to be like. It's like four scums, 100,000 people running behind.
Dave Portnoy
Sure. How many miles is 5K?
Kevin Clancy
3.1.
Dave Portnoy
3.1.
Kevin Clancy
Okay.
Dave Portnoy
But way too many.
Kevin Clancy
Way too many. It's about 3.1 too many.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, exactly.
Kevin Clancy
But they also. The first one was at the Rose bowl in California. And we ran like, the parking lot and around, like, this little park and through the trees. And then you ended in the stadium and there was, like, events and going on. This was in the stadium, running up the stairs, up the spiral ramps.
Dave Portnoy
So, okay, I didn't sign up for mountain climbing.
Kevin Clancy
A lot of people were like, this is not what I signed up.
Dave Portnoy
My knees.
Jackie
The running, fun fact. Downhill, way worse for sure.
Kevin Clancy
Your muscles, a whole different ankles were like.
Jackie
I. I actually, I wouldn't run downhill. I'd run uphill. And then, like, when I got to the downhills, I'd walk.
Dave Portnoy
If you trip going down, it's like someone could die. Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I'm gonna sue you.
Dave Portnoy
Be afraid. Like, I. I like to go to a stadium. Any kind of sporting event or event at a stadium. I'm horrified going down the stairs like.
Kevin Clancy
Those, especially when they change or whatever.
Dave Portnoy
They're very narrow. Always forget.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, those big giraffe feeders. Not gonna be able to hang on completely.
Dave Portnoy
They're hanging off the front. Forget. This episode is brought to you by. Hey, dude. Hey, dude. Have you tried. Hey dude. If you haven't experienced them yet, hey, dude. Shoes are insanely comfortable, lightweight, and easy to slip on. With so many options to choose from, you'll find the perfect shoe for every occasion, including extra cushion platforms for added height. No more sacrificing comfort for style. Hey, dude. Shoes are unlike anything. Head to heydude.com barstool to shop our favorites.
Kevin Clancy
But so we do this, you know, we're drinking, running in the sun, and then later that night is a Jelly Rolls performing. This is Country Thunder or something like that festival. And I was like, once he was out, I was like, if he's saying no, I'm saying no. Yeah, he's my yes man. When John. John brings me to things. Yeah, we have a very good system.
Dave Portnoy
You're gonna branch out.
Kevin Clancy
And John makes me go to things, and then I do the talking and the networking. So he gets me in the door and then I get the numbers and I'm like, yeah, let's go.
Dave Portnoy
I need somebody to just be like, let's please, let's go. And once I'm there.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, then I'll do it, right? Yeah, yeah. But he says no. I was like, I very rarely when I'm home alone, I get guilt. I'm like, I should be with my kids or I should be working. When I'm on the road, it's like, there's nothing I can do right now. So I just enjoy it. I order room Service. I watch a movie. It's the only time I smoke much weed. The only time I really just chill. So I say no. I told everyone. I'm like, I told you I was gonna go. I'm sorry. I'm not gonna make it. I'm tired. I'm shot. And then I get this DM from this dude being like, I own. I own liquor stores, and I have it. And I was like. I'm like, this is my one focus right now is trying to get these things, you know, get this going.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And he said, I own six Liquor Depots. So I'm thinking Liquor Depot is like.
Dave Portnoy
Like a grocery store.
Kevin Clancy
Yes. Right. Like a load. And it is. There's five locations. Six locations. Five of them are like that. And then one is, like, this little hole in the wall.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And it. And. And I almost went to a big one, but this other one was, like, 0.1 miles closer to my hotel, of course. So I was like, I'll go to that one. And it was in the hood, and I. And they're pulling up, like, in Tampa, too. Yeah. And I'm watching, like, you know, my gps. Like, it says one minute, and I'm looking around. I'm like, not much is gonna change in one minute. So this is it. And. But it ended up making for such a better story. Like, definitely in the hood, in this little mom and pop spot. I think they only had, like, two bottles stocked, so I was like, this doesn't even. But you know, the views that that video got and, like, the. The whole saga. And then I went back the next morning, and I met the guy at, like, a nice location. He knows Caleb and Glenny.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
The story. The stories are just like.
Dave Portnoy
He seems like everybody was singing his praises. Everyone. All of a sudden, everyone was like.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, I know Trey.
Dave Portnoy
You would love that guy. He's the best.
Kevin Clancy
He's a grocery store owner.
Dave Portnoy
Right. How do you know this Liquor Depot salesman? Everyone has one, I guess. Like, I. You know, what the hell is that?
Kevin Clancy
Caleb were like, well, we're hanging out next week.
Dave Portnoy
No surprise. Maybe they. Maybe they work with him on there.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Yeah, they do. Yeah. They were in each other's weddings or some.
Jackie
Oh, really crazy.
Dave Portnoy
That's nuts.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. So it made for a very, very good saga.
Dave Portnoy
Well, I'm glad that you feel me. Yeah. I'm glad that you're. You're being very transparent about everything going on behind the scenes with it, because I think that it shows that there's just a lot of work that goes into Something like this.
Kevin Clancy
Totally. I'm also at the point I'm transparent about everything.
Dave Portnoy
It's like, well, no, of course. I feel like other, other people wouldn't be. It's like they, they launch something, they say it's good, whatever. Maybe they blame people behind the scenes, maybe they're raising hell, whatever. But I feel like you're like, hey, this is what's happening. This is next in the, in the chain of events that we have to do to make this popular. Like it's, it's cool to see this kind of process and something that I, at least I personally have no idea how.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I mean I was under the impression a lot of these things just like hit the store and go, you know, I was like, oh, April 4th is the release date. Like, go get it, April 5th.
Dave Portnoy
And they're like, then it'll be shipped out a mass.
Kevin Clancy
It is available. But if you think about it, it's like if I'm. If I'm a liquor store and it's like, here's what I sell. Yeah, I'm probably not going to shift out this for that unless I know it's going to be popular.
Jackie
There isn't another one. Right. Like, I would think like if I was on the liquor store, I'd be.
Kevin Clancy
Like, I want to. So I was asking Trey, the, you know, the illustrious Trey Lawson. There's a lot of like coffee liqueurs that you mix. But there's not, I don't think anything. There's cans that are like pre made. But as far as like a bottle, real vodka. I know that's the thing. So.
Dave Portnoy
No, but if you're like a liquor.
Jackie
Store owner listening to this espresso. Yeah, get the, get it and then.
Kevin Clancy
Mark and then market that.
Jackie
Be like, we have a espresso merch.
Kevin Clancy
Not only market that, but like, I will, I will hype up any liquor store, any restaurant if you get this. I mean, look what I did for Trey. And, and look at. He said, he said they sold out of all six locations as soon as I posted my video.
Dave Portnoy
Incredible.
Kevin Clancy
So like, and I don't think it's that much yet because he probably ordered a few bottles here and there. But he was like, my next restock is going to be cases.
Rhea Hughes
So I'm like, let's especially summertime cardboard cutouts.
Kevin Clancy
Yes, yes, I think that is part of it. Yes, I think that's part of what we're gonna do. But you know, you gotta like how fun convince some of these stores and distributors that like it's Worth it. And.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And I. I think that the cans have been the only thing that's out there right now. And even if there's other stuff, there's nothing that's like, there's.
Dave Portnoy
I think I only know there's no major player that's independent.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Like an independently owned restaurant that makes their own. Like, that's right. I know that. And that's like, overpriced, ridiculous. This like a hundred dollars.
Kevin Clancy
Well, that's my thing was I was thinking about how much.
Dave Portnoy
Only one.
Kevin Clancy
I know being able to drink this at home for me was like, the thing. But now I'm thinking from a business point of view, if you're like a nice bar, restaurant, martini bar, wine bar, you probably make the real thing. Whatever. Anybody else. It's like, you don't need to have an espresso machine. You don't need to mix all the ingredients. It wastes time. It's a lot of money. Now here it is, like, wholesale. Those bottles are probably like 10 bucks a pop.
Dave Portnoy
That's amazing. My friends and my friends go hard for espresso martinis. Like, I'm not everybody does. But I truly think, like, I'm 34. A lot of my friends are in my age range, maybe a little bit older. I'm not saying these are the only people having it, but the we all, every single person starts the night with an espresso martini, whether it's at home or, you know, it would be nice if it were at home. Everybody orders it out. Everybody tries to get it. Because I think that everybody is looking for the energy.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And it's delicious and it's good.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. It's also, you know, a lot of people were like, I, you know, started drinking those after I stopped doing coke. No. No offense at all. No migraines.
Dave Portnoy
Timing checks.
Kevin Clancy
I. I said. I don't think you were on when I said it last, but when you said on the home from that funeral.
Dave Portnoy
When you were like, oh, yeah, you.
Kevin Clancy
Know, like, I don't remember how you phrase. You're like, you just looked out the window. Be like, I mean, the only reason I stopped was because of fentanyl and.
Dave Portnoy
Migraines, but that's the only reason I stopped. Cocaine migraines, when you're not offered.
Rhea Hughes
Like me.
Kevin Clancy
I didn't stop because I can't start because no one's offering it to me.
Dave Portnoy
But, yeah, do you want some cocaine? Like, no one offering hot Jackie cocaine. That's a big miss.
Kevin Clancy
She wants, like, the hot guy to offer her coke. She doesn't want it to be like some other girl.
Dave Portnoy
You deserve to be offered.
Jackie
Yeah, I've seen Jackie offered cocaine.
Dave Portnoy
Okay.
Kevin Clancy
Was from a gay guy. From gay.
Dave Portnoy
That's the gateway. Gay Pat is your gateway to cocaine. You want to try. You want to have a little cocaine with Gay Pat first. Cuz then you're like, I can figure out how I am. So when the hot guy does offer, you know exactly how much to have without looking like a fool. That's how it is. And that's. So you're welcome, Pat, for giving you a new coke friend.
Jackie
I remember the first time I ever. The first time I ever did it was a hot girl offered it to me, of course. And I didn't know how much to do. Didn't know how to do it.
Kevin Clancy
Did you watch?
Jackie
I. I actually, like, it was like, like, I honest. I honestly understand if you wouldn't believe me. I. I coughed, blew it all off the table.
Dave Portnoy
Of course she was like, what the.
Jackie
Dude.
Kevin Clancy
That'S funny.
Jackie
Is it for them? Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Wow.
Kevin Clancy
Like, from doing it. What a waste you caught from doing it or just not. Like you just happened to call.
Jackie
I just, like.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know.
Jackie
I never snorted anything before.
Kevin Clancy
So you're like.
Jackie
I was like. I think I was a junior in high school. I was visiting friends in college, and I'd never done anything, and I was just like, all right, I'll try it. And I was like.
Dave Portnoy
Well, it probably, like got stuck in your nasal cavity. Like, do you even have. At this point, Like, I guess at that point. No, you know, like, she could fit in that thing. I don't know. I don't know. But where's it going is what I'm saying. Where's your.
Kevin Clancy
That's almost.
Dave Portnoy
How's your septum looking these days?
Jackie
I think actually my septum is fine because I get. I get checked fairly.
Kevin Clancy
Not fairly, against all odds.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, that's good.
Jackie
It's a miracle nose, obviously.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Jackie
And. But I believe my septum is fine, I think. I. I don't know because. Just because my. My acid reflux. I've had like a lot of the post nasal drip.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Jackie
And.
Dave Portnoy
Oh. Oh, sorry.
Jackie
And they're like, yeah, your septum's fine.
Kevin Clancy
But.
Jackie
Yeah, it's something else.
Dave Portnoy
Okay.
Kevin Clancy
Still. But is it. It's done. Like you're at your final.
Rhea Hughes
No, like, it's not. Like every time I go. Because then he puts these shots in my nose, like once, like every few months. And every time he's like, oh, it's like so really Swollen.
Kevin Clancy
And I'm like.
Rhea Hughes
Well, we're two years out, so it shouldn't be like that. We'll get it. We'll get it perfect. And he says every time I think he just doesn't remember who I am. It's a whole thing. So, like, I think I just have to, like, continually get these shots. They're swollen right now, but then the.
Kevin Clancy
Shots make me Botox or something.
Rhea Hughes
It's like steroids.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Yeah. I think your dad looks.
Kevin Clancy
That was. Thank you. Thank you. My whole point, to bring it all the way back to the beginning of the conversation about. So migraines are real. Yeah, I get that. It's the rest of the headaches. Like, when girls are like, I get Botox, but it's for my headaches. It's like. It's interesting that there's not one man alive that gets Botox.
Dave Portnoy
I will say. I will say Botox does help with the migraine. It does, But I'm not. I'm getting it for my wrinkles. I'm not getting it for my migraine. That's just a lovely aside, the amount.
Kevin Clancy
Of, like, a perk. If. If headaches were as prevalent and as. As dastardly as they claim, there would be guys out there getting some Botox in their head for headaches, too.
Dave Portnoy
Well, weren't you getting Botox in your armpits? Yeah, yeah. Probably get. They probably do, but they don't. I don't know. Yeah, who's talking about that? I would love to know.
Kevin Clancy
I just think guys just go, my head hurts a little bit today.
Dave Portnoy
True.
Kevin Clancy
And they just shut the up.
Dave Portnoy
Allergy people, though. Allergy people will tell you.
Kevin Clancy
Well, they're.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, yeah. I'm an allergy person, so. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
See this guy the other day.
Dave Portnoy
I saw your poor eyes the other day. I felt so bad. Sorry, Jackie.
Rhea Hughes
And you're gonna see pit stains, and I just need to get ahead.
Dave Portnoy
Well, we'll just. We'll just talk about it over here.
Jackie
When walked in and KE went, that's a beautiful shirt. I wanted to go. Give it ten minutes.
Dave Portnoy
No, Jackie, I have the same.
Rhea Hughes
Lost my privilege just wearing these shirts.
Dave Portnoy
Same problem. I can't wear shirts that tight like that unless they're black. Like, I know. You're fine.
Kevin Clancy
I remember.
Rhea Hughes
It's a cute, nervous sense.
Kevin Clancy
I remember these days, like, it's so wildly uncomfortable. Why would you wear this shirt?
Dave Portnoy
Because once she walks down and she's off the pods, she won't be sweating. She looks great.
Kevin Clancy
She's very, like, trimming what about.
Jackie
But pads.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Rhea Hughes
But then it's like I don't wear like tampons in my armpits.
Dave Portnoy
I know.
Jackie
I get that. I get that.
Dave Portnoy
It's also so thick. Like people think. What do you think of like panty liners maybe? I guess.
Rhea Hughes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave Portnoy
But like obviously yo.
Kevin Clancy
If you're running around being like I got panty liners in my pits, you're never getting late again. Those days. So happy. I'm. Whatever. I'm gonna. I will pay for you to get the. The sweat treatment. I'm gonna do that for you. Wow.
Dave Portnoy
Wow, that's lovely.
Kevin Clancy
Well because you.
Dave Portnoy
So did you enjoy your experience doing it? Did you stop sweating because you're Mr.
Kevin Clancy
Sweat? So. So I. The boat. I started with Botox.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And that was much like the weed. It was like I got it and it lasted a year and then I got it. It lasted six months and then I got. It lasted three months and I was at a point, I think it was a thousand bucks a pop.
Dave Portnoy
It's expensive.
Kevin Clancy
And at that stage it was a lot of money of course. And then I. I found out about Miradry which was like a more permanent solution. They take like a. Almost like a vacuum kind of like. You know, you have that Dyson hair drop thing. You know the one that. That looks like that kind of. It' put it on your armpit and it blasts heat into it. It's not very enjoyable but it's also not. They kind of numb you up so you're not like dying. And it like heat the heat like either kills or shrinks your sweat glands. And then that was pretty.
Dave Portnoy
That. Honestly that I have not sweat scientifically that makes sense. Cuz it's. It's almost like shock therapy for your armpits.
Kevin Clancy
And I don't know.
Dave Portnoy
I'm about to go put SK on my armpits. I'm not really pay for them.
Kevin Clancy
When I did it, I think it was like four grand. It was quite expensive. I'm hope. I'm hoping it's less.
Dave Portnoy
I bet it is.
Kevin Clancy
It will. It was the best thing I've ever done. It changed my life like drastically.
Dave Portnoy
Well, I remember you just always bitching about being Mr. Sweat. Like sweating and it was like.
Kevin Clancy
It was just. I mean it was gross wet. You know what I mean? So it's like you're. It's chafing and rubbing and it's embarrassing the whole. It's.
Dave Portnoy
No one talks about how when you are sweating in a shirt like. Because again I'm I'm also always sweating. I'm just very afraid, like, you will never catch me in gray. I've never worn, Yeah, I will not wear gray.
Kevin Clancy
Certain clothes or tight shirts or certain colors.
Dave Portnoy
Sweater. I'm kind of like, I don't know. You know what I mean? Because I'm worried about. Not that much. But if you do, if I can, if I go to the bathroom and I can see even just a little bit of a sweat stain, I'm like, forget it. No, never again. I'm throwing the shirt.
Kevin Clancy
And then also all it takes is a drop and then you, like, start.
Dave Portnoy
Spiraling and then you start sweating more. And so I just, I, I can't. It's a, it's an anxiety thing. But I forgot I was saying, saying why I was even talking about this.
Rhea Hughes
That'S why this shirt is just irresponsible to wear because it's gray and the armpits are tight.
Dave Portnoy
It's true.
Rhea Hughes
And I get it.
Dave Portnoy
What was I saying before this? I swear I had a point to what I was talking about. Tight shirts, mirror dry.
Rhea Hughes
You said the people don't talk about enough.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, my God, how it ruins your shirts. So, like, if you have, like, you know, whatever kind of deodorant, these especially, I'm specifically wearing this, like, little Abercrombie shirt that's like a basic whatever tee. And I have a bunch of white ones and I can wear them maybe twice.
Kevin Clancy
You get that statement because you get.
Dave Portnoy
The same yellow down to the fucking.
Kevin Clancy
Titanium or aluminum or whatever.
Dave Portnoy
How do we stop that? I'm sick of buying the same shirt.
Kevin Clancy
You know what the craziest thing is? The people who wear deodorant, not antiperspirant, where that's, it's just like, I don't.
Dave Portnoy
Know, I'm like, am I, what am I wearing?
Kevin Clancy
No antiperspirant. Well, each brand does both, so, you know, you gotta look antiperspirant, like, has like, poison that, like, goes in your armpits and stops it from sweating.
Dave Portnoy
Sure. Love that.
Kevin Clancy
Deodorant is like perfume. It's like this smells. So then to me, it's just like this smells like sweat and like, cool rush or whatever. Yeah. And then that gets on your arm, your shirts. Disgusting.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
So I, I, I mean, the Botox, some people you're going to put like, poison. It's like, yes, bro, if you could go in there and like, snip the sweat gland or whatever, like, I would do any of that. But this mirror dry thing put poison.
Dave Portnoy
In all my shit. Like, I don't care.
Kevin Clancy
Totally. When people like, oh, get rid of the aluminum zinc oxide, I'm like, give me more of that.
Dave Portnoy
It's too late. We grew up on aluminum. Like, we're swerve. I'm Tin man, essentially. Like, we're made up.
Jackie
You know what I mean?
Dave Portnoy
It's done.
Jackie
They're like, there are some of those memes where it's just like. Like my grandfather filled with asbestos, my dad filled with lead, me filled with plastic.
Dave Portnoy
It's like that when the brain gets bigger.
Jackie
All right, the number one thing your mom wants you to do for Mother's Day is call her. That's the easy one. Scratch that off the list. First thing this Mother's Day, you can also give her a call and give her an Aura Digital friend frame. They're in every house. You see them. They're. They're wildly popular.

Dave Portnoy
Can I ask you guys another question? Kind of on the same vein? Soap. What kind of soap are we using these days? Because here is a is something that I noticed and it's been stuck in my head ever since I was watching the Cruel Intentions reboot, which is actually kind of good if you guys are Equal Intentions.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, I've heard of the opposite TV show.
Dave Portnoy
No, no, it's like horrible. It's horrible. But if you want like a stupid TV show, it's good. But Piper from White Lotus is Catherine, Sarah Michelle Geller's role. So I like her a lot. She at one point is talking to Sebastian and goes, oh, you smell like Dove soap. Or you've like, someone poor. And I use Dove soap. And I was like, is that white.
Jackie
Huge D soap guy?
Kevin Clancy
They always have the commercial where they put the lotion into the soap, and.
Dave Portnoy
It makes me think. So I feel like. I feel like Dove soap gets. Honestly gets my deodorant off the best. Like, if I'm washing with Dove soap, I'm like, oh, this is the only. You know, my body washes and, like, perfumed bullshit.
Kevin Clancy
Dove is kind of high class.
Dave Portnoy
Apparently. It's. It's for poor people, according to Piper slash Catherine slash. I don't remember her real name right now.
Jackie
If I had to make a guess, that is Dove soap. From what I've learned in my growing up, we were a Dove soap household. It's very good for sensitive skin. We're all Irish people.
Dave Portnoy
Same, same.
Jackie
I'm guessing it's an Irish English thing where the English think just the Irish use it and therefore possibly more people use it.
Dave Portnoy
Probably. Honestly, you're probably right.
Kevin Clancy
You're probably right.
Dave Portnoy
Well, you know, it prompted me to buy a new. A new bar of soap at like, an anthropology, you know, rip off, not a ripoff offshoot called Terrain that. That store is created in a lab for, like, me.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I'm sure that's what, like 12 a bar.
Dave Portnoy
It was $36. A $36 bar of soap that smells like French pearl there.
Rhea Hughes
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And we'll see how it goes. I got it. I use it. And I said, this cannot possibly. I don't think that for. And I also. I can't. It doesn't smell like anything. I expected to smell beautiful, and I really don't smell like anything. And. But now I'm like. I'm just. I'm really overthinking the Dove soap thing. I think, you know, am I wearing poor people soap? I don't know.
Jackie
I. I'm. I. I like Dove. I don't like.
Dave Portnoy
So do I.
Jackie
When I. When I get into a shower that has those, like, purple but clear bars, I'm like, this is handsome.
Rhea Hughes
This is a little, like, tacky, like gritty to, like, get.
Dave Portnoy
Exactly. Well, that's the ones that's so good about Dove.
Kevin Clancy
Like a little, like, sand in the bar.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, so many. I have a lot of things in the shower.
Kevin Clancy
Well, did you. Did you go through an Irish Spring sport phase? I feel like every guy does that. Yeah. I feel like every guy. High school for college. For me, it was like when I was finally buying my own. Yeah. To me that was like. I don't know if it's because I. I wanted to be Irish or if I thought it was a guy thing, but I was like, you got to get the green or the blue. Irish Spring sport bar.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, that's a very specific smell that.
Jackie
Like if you, if you were showering after practice, that was it. Yeah, that's. That's who Irish Spring aloe was marketing to.
Kevin Clancy
Yes. That's what I mean.
Jackie
Year old.
Kevin Clancy
It's a guy. You know what it is? It's like ax, but without like the douchebaggery.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
This is what like Irish men wear, you know, in the hills of Ireland.
Dave Portnoy
And Scotland, like old spices for like, you know, fist pumping guidos. And Irish Spring is for like the working man.
Kevin Clancy
I agree. Yeah. I don't know if that's true or not, but that's what I, you know, envisioned it. That's how I, I now use like anti microb. Like I. After I had that staph infection. No, it's the opposite. It's like I'm not, it's. It's. I don't think it's fancy. I think it's. It's like I'm pouring bleach on me. I don't give a. About the smell or this. I'm like, that was the worst experience of my fucking life. I'm going to be the cleanest motherfucker till I die.
Dave Portnoy
I use a, A face mask now. I'm getting really weird about like my skin care and stuff, generally speaking, over here. Well, I'm just, you know, I'm not, I'm not afraid of aging. I just want to make sure that I'm doing my best for my age. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want to age my. And like look old and wrinkly all the time when I could like be doing two Hannah Cure face masks a week at 40 bucks a pop. Why not? But it's this. It's not new at all, but I highly recommend it to people who are wanting to a lift and tighten and. And also like a. It's some kind of like. I don't know. I think it takes. It takes dirt off your face, but I'm not quite sure. Definitely took my spray tan off, so that's, that's something right off like Coca Cola. But. But it's. You put it on, you paint it on your face. It's like, it's basically a science experiment. You pour one thing into another thing, you shake it up.
Rhea Hughes
You've seen Clay one.
Dave Portnoy
No, no, but it's. It's similar. Similar chemistry behind it. So you pour one thing into another thing, it makes like a jelly substance, and you, like, rub it all over your face and neck and it's whatever. Within 15 minutes or so, it all sucks up. And you look like you look like a corpse in the ground. Like you look crazy. And then you wash it off and you've got the best skin in your life. And so you do. You know, I'll send you a link. It's great. And. But these are the things now I'm.
Kevin Clancy
Like, have you heard about the. The NYC doctor does that sculpture? He. He. It's what, like Lindsay Lohan did.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, yes, I have. And I have been looking into it. Yeah, that's like Leah Mobile. Leah Mob from Housewives, I think posted about it too. Yeah, everybody's posting about it.
Kevin Clancy
Anybody. I think, like, Christina Aguilera, she did Lindsay Lohan.
Dave Portnoy
I think the girl.
Kevin Clancy
The women that are like, it literally looked like they turned back the clock where it was like, how the. Did this happen? Like an intense facelift where they, like, they do the whole shebang. And I think it's like half a million dollars. I think it's something.
Dave Portnoy
It's extremely expensive. I mean, Anne Hathaway, Lindsay Lohan. And I said another one too.
Kevin Clancy
I think it's like a. It is more like an injection thing.
Dave Portnoy
But it's like, it's injections and, and some of the. So something I've seen is like, they'll do the. They'll put threads in and they pull the threads.
Kevin Clancy
Okay. I saw a bit that's like the.
Dave Portnoy
Least invasive, but also.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, because I saw a girl that had like, almost. Almost like zigzag like that. And that's what it was.
Dave Portnoy
And they pull it up like a.
Kevin Clancy
It looked like crazy. Yeah. And like, people were like, why did you do this? To be hot. That it looks like.
Dave Portnoy
If you've seen those old shows, like Dr. 90210 or like, you know, botched, botched, like all those. You. You are pretty. If you watch those shows, you're pretty familiar with how a facelift is done now. They're just doing it in the way where, like, they don't need to. They don't need to cut your skin and pull it up like a mask. They can just stick in some. Some threads and pull it up like.
Kevin Clancy
A mask or the Cat thing where they.
Dave Portnoy
Those are crazy.
Kevin Clancy
They just put like a. I'm afraid.
Dave Portnoy
To get box in there and then.
Kevin Clancy
Pull it and it just.
Dave Portnoy
I'm afraid it's going to change my face. I won't do it here, here. Cuz it's going to change it too much.
Kevin Clancy
Yes. And then you look like a freak. You look the joker for sure.
Dave Portnoy
I just don't want to look like a freak. That's all. It's not too much to ask.
Kevin Clancy
Whatever like Lindsay Lohan. Whatever. She paid like words it. She looks unbelievable.
Dave Portnoy
Unreal. And. And it was a total resurgence to her career.
Kevin Clancy
Like if you. I mean between Ozempic and whatever they can do with your face. It's like you can just be be you know in your prime again. That's crazy.
Dave Portnoy
Completely.
Kevin Clancy
Got to be the worst thing in the world for regular girls. You know.
Dave Portnoy
I think is on Ozempica needs to get off is Megyn Kelly. I saw her.
Jackie
I didn't even know Megan Kelly was still alive.
Dave Portnoy
Well I think she was like talking to Dave the other day. I saw a clip and she looked like hell.
Kevin Clancy
Really?
Dave Portnoy
I was like girlfriend needs something like.
Kevin Clancy
Her just age appropriately man.
Dave Portnoy
It's like the life fell out came out of her body. I always thought she was really pretty and she just. She looks awesome. Awful. Awful.
Rhea Hughes
It's weird that you could look at like there's people who I like from my year. Like you don't with celebrities. You just expect oic but like some people I can see like lost weight but you can tell it's Ozempic and I don't know what about it's cuz.
Dave Portnoy
You look a little bit like if you're like fine.
Kevin Clancy
She's a fat ass. And then now she had nothing.
Jackie
Laney Wilson.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I think that's part of it.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Did she.
Dave Portnoy
I didn't know that.
Kevin Clancy
Well I don't know if that's true.
Dave Portnoy
Or not but that's spice. Ice spice. Everybody's all pissed off she had a nice big ass. And then everybody's like well she got rid of it.
Rhea Hughes
But I don't know if we're giving enough credit to like a good old fashioned eating disorder.
Dave Portnoy
No, definitely not. Why are people in this day and age forgetting about animal? It's like that is an option.
Rhea Hughes
How about we give more shine to the eating disorders?
Dave Portnoy
Let's. You know what? Let's bring it back. Exactly. Going right now.
Kevin Clancy
Prescribed eating disorder.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, pretty much.
Kevin Clancy
There are people like I was throwing up all the time. I had no appetite.
Dave Portnoy
I Was sickly, had the dedicated dedication anymore. People don't have a dedication to have any disorder. They want a quick fix. They want it to happen right away. They don't want to give up their cheese fries, and they want to still, you know, they want to live like that.
Jackie
I've said this before. I think I've said on the podcast. I've said the keys before. I think the more I talk to Keegans, the more, like, I often see her just becoming like an old man. Yeah, she's like, whatever happened to being.
Kevin Clancy
Dedicated to an eating disorder?
Dave Portnoy
I am extremely old.
Jackie
Generation is weak.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. You'll be like the grandma that's just grandma.
Dave Portnoy
I've always been like that. I've always been like that with my friends, with everybody. I was. We're doing the podcast sometimes me and Gia Taylor watch, and I. I know Gia is very polite about it. I know she thinks I'm an old. Like, I know deep down she's like this boomer again. Here she is saying some. And sometimes people think it, too, because I'll go off and I'll be like, you know what? The other day, this is a new thing. And I. And I don't even to want. Want to. I know that the KFC radio crowd will be fine with it.
Kevin Clancy
McCrispy strips are now at McDonald's. Tender juicy and its own sauce. Would you look at that? Well, you can't see it, but trust me, it looks delicious. New McCrispy strips now at McDonald's.
Dave Portnoy
I said that Rihanna is doing. She did, like, a photo shoot walking to the Met Gala where she. She's pregnant again. She's been pregnant, like, every. For the past five years. And she was holding a rain, holding an umbrella, wearing, like, this blue silk thing. Her baby bumps out. She's walking through the streets of New York while it's raining. There's taxi cabs. It's like, one of the most chic photos I've ever seen. I said that Rihanna and Beyonce, who did, like, a big, majestic maternity shoot or whatever, are the only people that I think can pull off using your baby bump as, like, the focal point of a photo accessory. I was like, otherwise, I think, like, all right, we get it. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, you're pregnant. It's part of the look. But, like, they can really pull off. Like, this is me and my baby bump. You know, everyone else, I roll eyes. I said that. And people are like, actually, let's not comment on women's bodies. I was like, first of all, I'M a woman. I can say what the I want. And I'm not talking about anybody. I'm just saying that these girls pull it off. No one pulls off a baby bump like Rihanna.
Jackie
I, I.
Dave Portnoy
You know what I'm saying? That's the. Where I'm like, I. What am I doing here?
Jackie
I'm 100% with you.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
When I see, like, I get stuck. People I grew up with posting engagement photo shoots, like, holding bellies, I'm like, what the.
Rhea Hughes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave Portnoy
It just, there's, there's like an alien. There's a cheese element element to it as well. And it's like, oh, congratulations. Literally, everyone gets pregnant. Like, I'm not impressed. When Rihanna comes, it's literally catwalking in the streets of rainy New York. Pavs, will you please pull up the photo of Rihanna pregnant in New York? It was two days ago. I've never seen anything like it. I'm like, she could be. She's on the Runway. You know, it's insane.
Jackie
And so it's not sexist. I, I feel the same way about engagement photo shoots.
Dave Portnoy
Yes.
Jackie
Like, what are you doing? Yeah, it's all weddings, one thing. But.
Dave Portnoy
But we need the full photo.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Ser looks, though. But I remember, I remember catching a lot of heat when I went on. When we were on Comedy Central, we were doing the rundown, and Beyonce had just posted.
Dave Portnoy
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Her ridiculous. She had, like, the sun goddess.
Dave Portnoy
Like, it was like a. It was a. She's got flowers around her. It was literally like a. I am Mother Earth. And I. And that way, I'm like, you're so over the top that I love it, you know?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
You're pulling it off.
Kevin Clancy
At that point, I was like, I remember Caitlyn was pregnant, so everyone like, oh, you're horrible. Because was, like, pregnant. Nobody's hot when they're pregnant. Nobody wants to see this. And I had just had the conversation with Caitlyn.
Dave Portnoy
She was like, this is all of my friends.
Kevin Clancy
She was pregnant. She was like, I don't want to, like, who wants to see this? I don't want to look like this. Like, this sucks. We're trying to say we're glowing and all that, but, like, it sucks.
Dave Portnoy
Every single one of my friends has said has, first of all, don't like baby bump pictures. None of them really did it. And they all say, like, I just couldn't wait to, like, you know, be done. It's great. It's beautiful. It's a miracle.
Kevin Clancy
Make the best of it. Sure. But you don't it's not ideal.
Dave Portnoy
Hotter you.
Kevin Clancy
Right. That's what I mean.
Dave Portnoy
Like, that's just the thing.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, that, that.
Rhea Hughes
And it's like, if it's somebody from high school, like, I had, like, one person who was pregnant. She posted, like, maternity photos. Now it's too much like you're posting your naked body.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. It's entirely too much.
Rhea Hughes
I should be.
Dave Portnoy
Love. Love your confidence. Love your confidence. Good for you. But enough. You know, it's just like, that's young. Or at least do a gimmick. I know. That is young.
Kevin Clancy
She's like, 28.
Rhea Hughes
Shut up.
Dave Portnoy
Trying to get me to be like, oh, sorry, that's not young.
Kevin Clancy
No, he's not. I just tack a year on to Jackie's age every time. Jack.
Rhea Hughes
22.
Dave Portnoy
Okay. In my head, I was like, did I miss a st? Like, what happened? I. I about to start treating you differently.
Rhea Hughes
My maturity is, you know, is right around 28.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, yeah. If anything, you're going the other way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Do you think that if. If as we get more and more into this, like, digital virtual reality world that, like.
Jackie
Like, if you.
Kevin Clancy
If you. You. You ever see the movie Ready Player one.
Dave Portnoy
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Live in this digital world.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
If that ever becomes, like, a somewhat regular thing, you think people will just get, like, fat and gross. It's like, I'm not gonna do a facelift.
Dave Portnoy
I'm not gonna.
Kevin Clancy
I'm gonna eat my cheese fries. But here's for sure.
Dave Portnoy
I think of wall E all the time. Like, all I think about are the Wall E people where they. They're on the conveyor belts with their big fat bodies and sitting there drinking their big gulps and with the screen. It's disgusting. Like, I.
Kevin Clancy
But then in the. In the digital world, they're like, whatever.
Dave Portnoy
Well, I worry about that with. I worry about everybody's brains getting soft with chemicals. Chat GPT. I'm pretty anti Chat GPT. And I was talking to your brother about it the other day. He's not anti. And he was like, it's really trying to.
Kevin Clancy
It's great for work, but it is probably bad for your brain. It's the ultimate. Like, I. When I get in a car, I put everything in gps. It's like, I don't know how to go anywhere anymore.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And it's because of that and the G chat for everything.
Dave Portnoy
I don't use GPS ever. I'm serious. Yeah. I don't. I. Unless I.
Kevin Clancy
You're like my goddamn dad. My dad will be like, no, we're.
Dave Portnoy
Not doing that well, that's how my.
Kevin Clancy
Dad is a computer telling you, dude.
Dave Portnoy
That'S how my dad is. And he was like, you gotta know where you're fucking going.
Kevin Clancy
And I, it's good to know. But I, it's also crazy to just disregard what the computer.
Dave Portnoy
I still use gps. I'm acting hard, but I do use gps. But not, you know, not for. If I know the dir. Like where I'm going. If I know I'm going to the East Village, I don't need directions to get there. You know what I mean? I just get on the subway, I know which trains to take. Like, that's.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, when, if, if I had, if chat. GPT came, if we were still blogging right now, I would probably just use it to write blogs. Once I've established that, like, I know somebody got caught. You know what I mean?
Jackie
See, I.
Kevin Clancy
And Nikki.
Dave Portnoy
Nikki. Okay, I was sure that was.
Kevin Clancy
But like, to me, it's like if you never were able to do it. To me, it's like we wrote 50,000 blogs. If my next 50,000 are natural versus PEDs, I don't really care.
Jackie
See, I'm the exact opposite where it's just like, I know how to do it. Why do I have to have someone do it for me?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. I feel if I don't.
Jackie
If I know how to write.
Kevin Clancy
But. Okay, but if I told you you could churn out, you know, 10x the amount and we're going to make 10x the money, would you do it?
Jackie
I think it would be. Be too time consuming because I wouldn't trust it.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Jackie
So I'd still read it, then I'd go edit what I didn't like and then it would just make my process more confusing where I'm like. Because I'm not gonna post it without reading it. And then when I read it, they're gonna be things I don't like. And I'm like, why don't I just write.
Kevin Clancy
Write this.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I, I completely.
Kevin Clancy
But let's say it gets to a point where like, you run a. Like I, I had, I, I've. I cloned my voice the other day. I spoke for like three straight hours. So it theoretically has enough.
Dave Portnoy
You really did this?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Yeah, but it's not good enough yet. But like, wow, though. But like, if I, I haven't used it yet, but if it gets to the point where it's natural enough and I could just like write scripts and have them record and like, I mean, it wouldn't be Video. It would be audio for sure, but.
Dave Portnoy
But it's kind of. It's this. So, so kind of in. In the same vein of that the churn out 10 instead of one and make more money, whatever. Then I feel like you fall into what's happening online right now where like every single. We don't need as many different articles from different publications about the same thing. And I think that I see it so much because it's Taylor Swift specific. If I'm thinking about it, it'll be like Travis Kelsey unfollowed Ryan Reynolds. And it's like we don't even know if that's true or not. But I have seen 25 different articles about it. And in my head I'm like, those are all chat GPT. Like they just want the clicks. They want whatever. There's nothing behind. Find it. So then meanwhile, you know, I wrote for the first time all month, I wrote a. The recap blog for the Beck gala of what everybody was wearing. I was literally up till five in the morning. Like, I was working my ass off on that blog for the first time in a while. Like, I really haven't done. So here's my GBD could never though. Like, they could never do that.
Kevin Clancy
But you also reach a point where it's like, unfortunately, the dude who posted, you know, a picture of tits and ass.
Dave Portnoy
Well, I got as many clips.
Kevin Clancy
You know what I mean? So like I, I remember running into that like in the begin. Beginning. This is why I said, if I've already established that I like did it at some point. It's like, work smarter, not harder. If you never had the goods, you were never funny, never a good writer, people couldn't come to you and read you. But once I've established that I can do that, and I did do that, and now here's a way to, like, up your output, make more money, be more successful. Like, I don't give a anymore. I'm just trying get to the finish line.
Dave Portnoy
You know, I see the appeal. Maybe I just have a little more integrity.
Kevin Clancy
You do. For real though, it's more integrity. But I, at some point, I think it's.
Dave Portnoy
I think I have a control issue. It's not integrity more so it's more than a control issue. Post something that I didn't write same and I don't. And then if, if what? If people. Here's two options. If people hate it, I'll be like, well, Chachi PD wrote that. And then if people like it, I'll.
Kevin Clancy
Be like, my point being that to go back to what I said about clone of my voice is like you wrote so many blogs. If it gets to the point where it's like it nails your voice, your take, your vocabulary, all of that. In a weird way, I think it's like you earned that. You wrote so many blogs that were good, that people did like that had its own style that this computer could be like use these words, use this tone, blah, blah, blah. And if in the output you click output and it. And it is perfect, why not?
Dave Portnoy
Well, Kevin, enough people think that, you know, to, for it to be the phenomenon that it is. I think Chachi PT is going nowhere. I think it's only going to get.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
I'm afraid of it. I'm afraid of AI.
Jackie
I'm not afraid of it. It's. I, I, I always just liken it to every other piece of technology that's ever existed that people are scared of and then it doesn't because it just.
Dave Portnoy
Kind of becomes part of your life technology. Before now though, like I, I've always been true church.
Jackie
Like there's been people scared of phones and people scared of TVs and people scared of movies and people scared of cars and like it's just.
Kevin Clancy
By the way, I think what they're scared of is true.
Dave Portnoy
Sure. I don't like that this can impersonate people. Like I just. And, and really though, what I'm afraid of is like people not being able to think for themselves anymore. Like I really think that that's true. Like we watched. I mean, you know, not, not to bring up that, that anti Semitic freak talking to Dave and you know, trying to make money off of what's, what's anti Semitism. He did some kind of script whatever. Like clearly he, he has nothing in his brain like that guy was.
Kevin Clancy
That video that he made.
Dave Portnoy
The video he made. By the way.
Kevin Clancy
That dude can't read. He can't, he can't read that guy to read.
Dave Portnoy
He doesn't know what he's saying. The, the words he was using. Like I've used this example before, before chat GBT existed that sometimes you can tell when someone used the right click thesaurus function where they don't actually know the words, but they were like I need a better word here. What should I do?
Kevin Clancy
You can't pronounce it. You stumble over it.
Dave Portnoy
Say someone like, you know, no offense, Nikki Smokes. We're talking about him already. He, I wouldn't expect him to, to have some scholarly blog. So if he suddenly did, I'd Be like, what's your, what's your deal? And I think that's what happened. And, but for this guy, I'm, he, I'm not saying that he is the example of, like, the people, but there is a, certainly a group of people. There's certainly a wave of people who are just easily handing their brain over to.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Chat, GPT or what else? What else? Whatever you use. And they have no problem with it. And I'm like, yeah, but it's kind of a pivotal point in your life. I'll hand. Right. I'll hand my brain over when I'm 50 or 60.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
When I'm like, all right, I'm, I'm done thinking. I've been thinking, thinking, Sorry. I've been thinking my whole life. So I'm all set. But I think, like, ultimately, when you're 20 years old and you're in college, you shouldn't be substituting actual work for, oh, let's just make it easy. Because why not? This is the way of the world. It's like, you gotta, you gotta learn the fundamentals first. Right. Am I crazy for. No, this is crazy.
Kevin Clancy
No, but, but also, like, yell at the class. I worry about not gonna like the.
Rhea Hughes
Tool that I almost feel like it's like a calculator.
Dave Portnoy
Like, when people, that's what people are gonna not have a calculator. It's the extreme version of it. My life. And I never learned. I, I, I never had to do fast math. I never had, I always had a calculator.
Kevin Clancy
But I'm sure there's people count on my fingers. I'm sure there's people who are like, you're using computers rather than, like, learning how to work the land or work in, like, a train. And we're like, I don't need that. So. But this is kind of an extreme version where it's like, where does it end? Where it's like, okay, now you don't have a functioning brain.
Jackie
Okay. X chair. X chair provides next level comfort and support that moves with the you. It is dynamic. It's got variable lumbar support. It adjusts automatically to support your back side flow. Infinite recline that allows for smooth movements as you lean back. Look, here's the deal. Ten years ago, five years ago, you know, you probably didn't need an office chair. The way he works. The world works. Now. We're all working from home. We're all working at home. We're all working 24 7. You need something comfortable to sit in when you're Sitting at your laptop, sitting at your computer desk, working, earning money for a living. Spend a little of that on yourself. Enjoy work a little more. Get 10% off@xchair.com with code KFC10. That's KFC10 for 10 off@x chair.com.
Dave Portnoy
Have you talked to like a 20 year old recently?
Kevin Clancy
No, thank God. No.
Dave Portnoy
The, the kind, the, like the, the. It's brain rot. Like it's tick tock speak. And even some of my friends, like I was with some of my friends over the weekend who were, are who are like married with kids, whatever, but they're very much on Tik Tok. They'd be like, oh my God, did you see blah blah blah. And I'm like, what's that? And they're like, oh, it's from Tik Tok. What do you mean? You don't know? I'm like, I. Am I somehow the least online of.
Jackie
My friends suddenly, like, there's the same thing. Like, yeah, it's the younger generation, the older generation thought we were dumb because of new stuff we did. We're gonna think the next generation's dumb because of different stuff they did from us.
Kevin Clancy
It's just like I'm picking, I now.
Dave Portnoy
Know, hanging on for dear life. Like I'm, I'm worried about, about the, the. I don't want to be out of touch. You know what I mean? Like, I want to know what's happening.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, you're out of touch.
Dave Portnoy
Definitely out of touch.
Kevin Clancy
I'm now getting back in touch cuz I now have the slang from my kids.
Dave Portnoy
True.
Kevin Clancy
So like if you're like 15, you're old, you're out. Cuz I know what the Keegan the other day, Keegan saying buns. It's so funny. Like this is buns, dude. Like you're playing a game. Like I throw an interception. He's like, you're buns. Like your ass. Like you stink your butt.
Dave Portnoy
Oh my God, that's hilarious.
Kevin Clancy
And so the other day he says to me, like, he said like, charlie, Charlie did this. And that was totally Buns. But mine, I was so, I was so op. Like, you're OP and he's Buns. And he was like, totally. And I was like, this is what's op? I think it like, like original. Like, yeah, like in Reddit when you say OP is like the original poster. It's kind of like if you're op, overpower. Oh, really? Yeah, that's what I believe. Oh, I thought it was more like I would have guessed of the one I'm the original.
Dave Portnoy
Kind of. Does it still make sense in context? As long as we know the context.
Kevin Clancy
Like a gun that's like. This is what I think. If you have a gun that's like too powerful. Like, that's op. Almost like od.op. it's so funny when they like.
Dave Portnoy
So Keegan came to you and said, Charlie was really bad at it and I was really good, but I had an unfair advantage because I was like, that's essentially what he said to you. But he said, y' all, he's Buns and I'm op.
Kevin Clancy
So Buns.
Dave Portnoy
Like, I saw his. His. His baseball career is popping off. He. What an athlete, huh?
Kevin Clancy
Dude, totally. Both of them. They're great. Shay's thing is. Wait, actually, no. I say that every day over and over again. Actually, no. Actually, no. Literally. Actually, no.
Dave Portnoy
Introduce literally.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, literally. And actually it is very, very funny.
Rhea Hughes
I can't seem like that. Not me, Bubble.
Dave Portnoy
I hate it. I hate it. Yeah, not me doing this.
Kevin Clancy
That one. I almost think.
Dave Portnoy
Not me and my maroon pig. It's fine. Like, it's like.
Rhea Hughes
But like.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I think that's. That's old. Like, I don't think my kids are saying that.
Dave Portnoy
Well, that to me, Generation Alpha or whatever right now. If I said that on Taylor Watch, they'd be like, oh, Boomer. Like, old as. Trying to be young. Like, it's crazy, you know?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, that is.
Dave Portnoy
Buns goes crazy. I don't even bother with the. Oh, yeah, look at this original poster, though. They both make sense.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, that's op, bro.
Dave Portnoy
Yo, that's so op.
Jackie
Buns is an older one, right? Yeah, yeah, Buns. I've heard.
Kevin Clancy
I think a lot of this gets, like cyclical too. Yeah. Little. A little 8 year old boy saying buns is very funny.
Jackie
8 year old boy says it with a Z for sure.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. He also is doing this thing, I think this one he made up himself. He's saying bouge. He'll be like, I'm boo. I'm boo.
Dave Portnoy
Like, like bougie.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know.
Rhea Hughes
Sickest person ever.
Kevin Clancy
Super fly. I think he's saying it like, I'm good. Like, I'm boos.
Dave Portnoy
I'm boos.
Kevin Clancy
And then he'll be like, that's not boos. That's not boos. And then. Then sometimes he will say stuff that literally makes no sense. I think it's whatever's on his brain. So he's playing video games, first of all. He stands up in front of the tv. I Think he needs to get glasses because he's standing on the TV for sure. And he, like, literally, he'll kick and jump while he's playing, and he'll just be like. The other day, he was like, charlotte's Web, bro. Charlotte's Web. I was like, what does that mean? He's like, I don't know, man. Charlotte's Web. I think he's reading the book Charlotte's Web at school, and it's just on his brain. So he's like, you're buns.
Dave Portnoy
I'm op.
Kevin Clancy
Charlotte's Web. Charlotte crazy.
Dave Portnoy
But that's also very funny.
Kevin Clancy
But, yeah, you're boosh, bro.
Dave Portnoy
You gotta get him glasses. It sounds like I do.
Kevin Clancy
I think so.
Dave Portnoy
That's hilarious.
Kevin Clancy
He's like, I just can't, like, see. It's like, okay, all right.
Jackie
That's a bummer.
Kevin Clancy
That'll happen.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know what it is.
Jackie
And pretend doctors don't exist.
Kevin Clancy
You have to teach these little, like, literally every everything. Like, the other day, Keegan stunk. He stunk. I was like, you stink like a man. And I was like. I was like, this is uni deodorant already. Like, it feels, like pretty early for this. And then I was like, hey, bud, you, like, your armpits stink? You gotta. You gotta wash them. And I was like, do you wash your armpits? And he was like, what do you mean? And I was like, you know, when you're in there, do you, like, lift your arm up and, like, wash them? And he was like. He was like, yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Liar.
Kevin Clancy
No, you don't. So, yeah, he was in the shower. Like, some water and soap was getting in there, but he was not, like, rubbing.
Dave Portnoy
I was like, oh, sure, sure.
Kevin Clancy
I got. I guess I did a bad job. I gotta teach you how to do this, you know?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. There's just a lot of stuff, a lot of things to think about.
Kevin Clancy
Too much. Too much. It's too much having a whole other human to, like, teach to live.
Dave Portnoy
I was hanging out. I'm hanging out with so many babies lately. Everyone I know has kids. Yeah, everyone I know has kids. So it's like, I'm hanging out babies, but I am. I'm the best ant of all time. That is true. Everyone has always known that I was going of all time time. But taking care of babies for a short period of time is very easy for me. I have no problem.
Kevin Clancy
That's the.
Jackie
The goal.
Dave Portnoy
Like, the dream is not maternal, because I don't want kids I'm very maternal. Like, it's, it's very easy for me to, like, hang out with kids, but at the same time, like, I love giving them back, you know?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
I like to be able to go home.
Kevin Clancy
I'm very maternal or paternal. Whatever you want to say. From noon to 5, you have kids in the morning and the night.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, for sure.
Jackie
My mom had a magnet on our refrigerator that said, when and if the kids are alive at 5, my job's done.
Dave Portnoy
There we go. There we go.
Kevin Clancy
Do you remember the fact that the television used to say, it's 10pm do you know where your kids are? Implying that enough people would be like, so nice.
Jackie
10:00Pm where are the kids?
Dave Portnoy
And I was not.
Kevin Clancy
Different time, by the way.
Dave Portnoy
I was outside. I was in the grass in the woods. Nobody was paying attention. What I was up to.
Kevin Clancy
Bonkers. Yeah, that. The, it's, it's the. They're. They're fun. It's like having a dog, too. It's like, you want to play with the dog, you want to. You want to go on a boat, you want to swim in a pool, you want to play with a dog, you want to play with a baby, and you don't want to own any of those.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, exactly.
Kevin Clancy
Give them back.
Dave Portnoy
And so I'm living. Living that life.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
I've got a little in every cup, you know?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
It's just great.
Kevin Clancy
So, and, and you. Are you, like, the, the cool aunt that's, like, you can come talk to me about or.
Dave Portnoy
Well, they're all a little too young for that. But I, I've made it clear that, yes, I will be. I will be the aunt. The. Have you ever seen the show? It's got Katherine Heigl, and they're like, best friends. It's like firefly. Fireflies.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, is it new?
Dave Portnoy
No, it's older.
Kevin Clancy
It's when she's, like, single mom. Oh, no.
Dave Portnoy
Best friend.
Kevin Clancy
Okay, never mind. I'm thinking something totally different.
Dave Portnoy
So it was based on a book. I want to say it's like fireflies or something. My friends say that that's like me, like, Katherine Heigl shows up and she, like, gave the daughter birth control when she, like, wasn't supposed to. Like, like that, where I'm like, I'm not that stupid. But that's. Yeah, that's the vibe. I'm going for it.
Kevin Clancy
It's crazy how much you can tell.
Dave Portnoy
Your mom, but I am definitely going to tell your mom.
Kevin Clancy
On the left. I, I, I reiterate to my kids all the time that I'm like. I keep saying it because I realize it's really not getting through. I'm like, you can talk to me about anything. Because, like, the other day, Shay was absolutely. Had been crying. I could see in her eyes. And I. And I, like, knocked on her door, and she didn't answer. And then when I did answer, she was in her closet, like, doing something.
Dave Portnoy
And I was like, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
She turned around, she's all red. And I was like, what's wrong? And she was like, nothing. And I was like, like, you've. You're visibly crying. Like, what's wrong? Yeah, you can tell me. You can talk to me. Doesn't. Doesn't tell me. I go downstairs and her nanny told me that, like, they had a little fight about, like, she wasn't in her seat belt or something.
Dave Portnoy
That.
Kevin Clancy
And I was like, she doesn't feel like she can tell me. And so, I mean, like, every day I'm in the car, just out of nowhere, I'll be like, you know, you guys can tell me about any. I won't be. I won't get mad. Yeah. I don't care if you did something wrong, if you're in trouble, like, we'll figure it out. I'm here to help. You got to just keep saying that. Because I was like, oh, this is how you end up, you know, like, me, like, our generation or like, my family, where it's like, I'm not talking about, you know.
Jackie
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
I don't. My parents know nothing about my life.
Kevin Clancy
Right. And I'm like, I don't want. It's not good. There are definitely times where I'm like, I wish I had talked more and, like, and, you know, leaned on them more or whatever. And I'm like, oh, you have to, like, it's just. I guess it's just natural to be like, I'm not doing girl.
Dave Portnoy
I don't, like, call my dad.
Jackie
I don't. I didn't tell. I mean, I still don't really tell people things, but I. I am very much a you. Where I'm like, just tell. Like, if it happened, just tell me. We'll figure it out.
Kevin Clancy
I'm like, I can't. We can't fix.
Dave Portnoy
I'm like, that in life, in adult life for sure. But yeah, with. I. To be fair, and I think that that's, like, a disadvantage for you. Like, I. I would probably, if I had something going on, would talk to my mom rather than my dad. Not because, like, you know, not because I don't trust him.
Kevin Clancy
But she's a guy.
Dave Portnoy
Girly issues, you know what I mean? Whatever. Yeah, but, but it is hard to, to believe that you can like, oh, I'll talk to my parents and they're not gonna give some kind of. Yeah, what if they're gonna tell you how little I care.
Kevin Clancy
It's like I got caught cheating. I A test. I don't.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, yeah, who gives a yeah, did you get to go grade you got caught?
Kevin Clancy
Like, what's the use chat gbt. I don't give a.
Jackie
With kids I see it being easier cuz like you kind of get it. I exclusively deal with adults and it's like, just tell me, just tell me.
Dave Portnoy
I hate, I hate when adults won't speak, Adults won't get.
Kevin Clancy
I'm so. Do as I said as I do because I don't say True, true.
Dave Portnoy
I, I am not. No, I, maybe because I'm not anti confrontational, but I feel like you kind of are. But you also would rather instead of a confrontation, you'd rather just be like, let's have a conversation. Right?
Jackie
Yeah, well, I'm not anti conversational, but I can tell something's happened.
Dave Portnoy
Sure.
Jackie
Something's different. I'm like, well, just like, yeah. I don't want to live like this forever.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. If you can hide it well, well, you just keep going. Yeah. But once it's like, you know, this silent treatment or something's going on, it's like, let's get this out of there. But I, I will. I mean, I, it also depends. Like with a guy, I'll be like, what the fuck's up? With a girl, it's like, I don't want to hurt feelings, I don't want to be in a fight. I don't know, with a girl it's totally different. But I will I will absolutely, knowingly shoot myself in the foot a hundred times out of a hundred rather than like pull the band aid off and tell you something that's gonna upset you or you know, whatever, you know what I mean? I do it like, I still do it all the time. If I, if I find out I gotta do a work trip on and like we. And I'm supposed to do something with like the kids or the family that same weekend and I know six months in advance I should tell you right now, there's a conflict. I will tell you six days before and, and because in my mind I'm.
Dave Portnoy
Like, because you don't want to hear.
Kevin Clancy
When I tell you we are going to fight. There is Going to be drama. This is gonna suck. And what if, like, a meteor hits tomorrow? Like, I don't know how to deal with this.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
So I ride it till the very end, and I shoot myself in the foot inevitably every time. And it's childish and immature and. And. And. And. And counterproductive, and I will still do it until I'm dead.
Dave Portnoy
Listen, you're a creature of habit, and no one can. No one can tell you for that. Okay. Or fault you for that. I mean, sometimes you just got to do what you got to do. You call me up next time you need to issue a. Out or something. I'm so ready to do it. I love to air out where it's like, oh, it's time. Like, let's just Once. Once you get into something like that, though, then I think that's when I really come alive. Yeah. A little bit. Like, if I. If I need to. If I'm upset. Oh, forget it. If I'm upset about something and I'm ready to bring it up, you better sit down. Like, sit down, get a glass of water. Like, we're gonna be here. We're gonna unpack this whole thing. If it's thrust upon me, I don't love it so much. But I'm still.
Jackie
But I'm still.
Dave Portnoy
But I'm still ready. I'm still like, okay, we're doing this. I will pack in, and we're gonna do this. And.
Kevin Clancy
Well, you know what?
Dave Portnoy
I really do believe it's resolved.
Jackie
I think it literally takes 10 seconds.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. It always is so quick. It feels like an hour. It feels like it's gonna take days, but really, it's.
Kevin Clancy
But it's also. I, like, wholeheartedly subscribe to the idea of your expectation is. And dread is way worse than the actual outcome.
Dave Portnoy
Absolutely.
Kevin Clancy
Every time. Every time you have, like, something big, it's like, it's. It might suck, but just sitting there dreading it every day and night is. Is worse. So it's like, yeah, that. That threat of that looming feeling is worse than anything. Things just pull the band aid off.
Rhea Hughes
No, but sometimes, like, I'm in a fight with someone, and I'm like, this is how. This is how.
Dave Portnoy
Of course this needs to end. I'm. I'm a very big proponent of, like, enough. Like, this is enough fighting. Like, if we're fighting for a long time, I'm like, nothing is happening here. Let's pick it up tomorrow. Like, I'm. I'm still ready to go tomorrow. And then usually I'll show up ready to go again, and they're too tired. You got to wear people down. You got to do it well.
Kevin Clancy
That's how girls win. Win every argument is guys going. This is logically and actually incorrect, but okay.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, yeah. They'll eventually bend the knee to a certain degree.
Kevin Clancy
See, and what's sick is, like, girls want the knee to be bent. I don't want anyone to, like, bend.
Dave Portnoy
I would like a little bit of validation. I would like to be told, okay, yes, girl, you're not crazy. This is a valid conversation that we're having, whether you really believe it or not. I would like to be told that sometimes.
Kevin Clancy
But guess what? It never is. It is, like, never a valid conversation.
Dave Portnoy
Sometimes it is maybe, like, one out of a thousand. Can you start believing women?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. No. I'm done believing women.
Dave Portnoy
Migraines, problems. What's your deal? No, but it's true.
Kevin Clancy
As we progress through the season, every fan knows that big wins are hard to come by and tough losses are even harder to accept. But you know what isn't hard to accept? Discover. Believe it or not, Discover is accepted at 99% of places that take credit cards. Cards nationwide. You heard that right, 99. So make a good call for your wallet and get Discover. Based on the February 2024 Nielsen report. Learn more at discover.com credit card. You mentioned that dude earlier, that Dave is from the Dave saga, which is a very serious topic, and I don't want to minimize it, but it's also just such a circus. It's unbelievable. I mean, this is one of my favorite iterations of Dave ever. The. The Auschwitz vacation. Dave is. Is. Is like, why is it so absurd?
Jackie
If you said to choose and someone calls you up is like, what do you think about Chip to Auschwitz?
Kevin Clancy
Like, whoa. I've been thinking about it.
Dave Portnoy
I think I was. I mean, I said the guilt alone. Like, yes, maybe. Maybe he is coming to a point where he's like, I have. Okay, I up. I've embarrassed myself on. And now it's amplified. Let me go make nice on this. And yeah, maybe I do want to better myself as a person. No, no, no.
Kevin Clancy
It has nothing to do with betting yourself.
Dave Portnoy
That's what I thought.
Kevin Clancy
That guy.
Dave Portnoy
I think maybe that eventually this. I thought this would be, like, a great story. I was like, wow, this is going to be great.
Kevin Clancy
Well, I think it could have been.
Dave Portnoy
All the Holocaust deniers and the replies would have been eating shit. Like, it's just. It's crazy.
Kevin Clancy
I think he was outed by that point, right? But I think he would have been like, if you don't say yes to this, I'm going to drag you. Probably what's going to happen now.
Dave Portnoy
Knew who he was before Dave even got involved. Like, because it was his, his Instagram, his photo going around him. I think he was like in the video for a sec. Like, he was very much involved. There was another, the other guy, like in. Yeah, Mike, whoever who wasn't there, wasn't involved. Just happens to be like, friendly with this guy, which.
Kevin Clancy
That sucks.
Dave Portnoy
That sucks. Hey, man, don't tag me. I looked, I like looked. Obviously I looked all these people up because I was like, I hate these people. But that guy who actually wasn't there or anything, he's like a Jersey Shore guy. And I just can't imagine what the summer's gonna be like for him. Like, he's, you know, I like feel bad for that kid. Although if he's friends with this other douchebag, I'm sure he's not.
Rhea Hughes
I kind of feel like it's like he was tagged for a reason.
Dave Portnoy
Exactly.
Rhea Hughes
It wasn't just.
Dave Portnoy
You're right. The other like where the, The Jews boys. Exactly. Yeah. That other kid. That. Or no, not. Sorry. Yeah, the other kid that is now Mo. His name is Mo. He also had posted a separate like Snapchat story being like quarter on the ground. The Jews or whatever, which is crazy.
Kevin Clancy
Like change.
Dave Portnoy
I love that you don't know like.
Kevin Clancy
That.
Dave Portnoy
That gives me faith.
Kevin Clancy
But you know what's really, what doesn't give me faith?
Dave Portnoy
We don't with. We don' with this. And now all of a sudden everybody with this.
Kevin Clancy
No, but the problem is like, well.
Jackie
They have no idea where it came from though, so Speech came from. But.
Dave Portnoy
I know, I know, I know. But it really is, it's like it gets a little tough to Twitter has become. Because it's not like this on Instagram. It's not like this on Tick Tock. It is a Twitter specific like the, the like anti. Anti Semitism and the Holocaust denying. That's where I'm like, a lot of people believe this. Or do they? Is it bots? I don't know what the world is, I'm afraid.
Kevin Clancy
All I know, though is when this happens. Like, I mean, I, I, it's not good. But that guy has plenty of people on his side.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, he does.
Kevin Clancy
It's like Morgan Wallen going to number one after he drops the end bomb. Like you get people that support you.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Almost no matter what.
Dave Portnoy
For the wrong reason.
Kevin Clancy
I gave him 100 grand, right?
Jackie
No, there's a woman who just called a five year old black kid the N word.
Kevin Clancy
Got 600 grand.
Jackie
$600,000. And for her, for freedom of speech.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Rhea Hughes
What?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, right. And I don't know where it came from.
Jackie
I don't know where all the hate.
Dave Portnoy
Came from, but I don't know who gave the.
Kevin Clancy
Okay, this all stuff came from.
Dave Portnoy
I know where we're at here.
Kevin Clancy
Anybody been like two years, I think.
Jackie
Anybody.
Dave Portnoy
Did anybody encourage like 142? I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
Jackie
I feel like once the presidential election started, okay, this.
Dave Portnoy
I'm thinking like November 2020. It's. It's just, it's out of. I got to hang out there. It's too much. I get too many fights everywhere else.
Kevin Clancy
Did you see the. That, that show he was on, that Stu Peters show?
Jackie
No.
Kevin Clancy
So I think he's like an Alex Jones, like some radio show type.
Dave Portnoy
But he's like, he gave him 100 and then he gave him 100 grand?
Kevin Clancy
I think so. Because based on this clip.
Jackie
Who, Wait, who gave him something?
Dave Portnoy
But didn't he also say stupid, by the way?
Kevin Clancy
Yes. So. And then the guy, the guy. So here, here. Join for. So do you think that now is the time for humanity to join forces and become tribal against Jewish supremacy?
Jackie
Absolutely.
Kevin Clancy
A few moments later. Super chat. Real quick, Stu, I hope you see this. I can't believe you're giving $100,000 to a brown Muslim. Shame on you.
Jackie
You could have given that to a.
Kevin Clancy
White community in some way.
Dave Portnoy
Pathetic.
Jackie
All right, what the.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, it's fair. I understand. So he gives him 100 grand, finds out he's Muslim and then is like, like, oh, yeah, I shouldn't have done this.
Jackie
I up.
Dave Portnoy
But the fact is he getting $100,000 in real money or whatever, the. He keeps tweeting out that like, fake f. The fake number. You know what I mean? Like, have you seen that number? It's. I don't know, it's some kind of bitcoin. Some kind of something that he keeps tweeting about being like, put it here. And I don't know what that is.
Kevin Clancy
I'm sure he's just trying to get money. He's a grifter.
Dave Portnoy
Okay. It's just, it's. I don't even know really what to say about it. It's. It's horrifying. It's like disheartening. It's crazy. I think that he should be mortified I think that he's now believing that he can build this community online that will stand behind him, but in the real world, in real life. He said that he's suspended from school, he got dropped from his internship. He. People are looking at him different. People are treating him different as they fucking should. And that makes me feel a little bit better because I'm like, in the.
Kevin Clancy
Real world, there's consequences.
Dave Portnoy
You go ahead, you put on your ready player. One thing, and you live on.
Kevin Clancy
That's really what it comes down to.
Dave Portnoy
Fine. Be your disgusting, like, bigoted self over there.
Jackie
I was gonna say that earlier. Earlier, with you guys all talking about, like, being more in the Internet.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Jackie
Less. None of this is happening.
Kevin Clancy
Get off the Internet.
Jackie
Everyone I've met, everyone I talked to, very polite and fun and cool and awesome and, like, the world Wide Web. It's all from, like, not being on Twitter so much. Like, I don't understand what everyone's mad about all the time. No one. Everyone's having a good time.
Dave Portnoy
It's so bad.
Jackie
Everyone. I cross. Follow us.
Kevin Clancy
Subscribe. Like, share. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Right? For sure. But I guess I don't know that it's just become such a different place. And I know that you guys have been hearing me on the soapbox for a while now about Twitter specifically, but I saw this turn. Like, I saw it happen in real time when it, like, happened to me, but then I also saw it happening to other people at the same time, where it's like, how many years ago.
Kevin Clancy
Would you say that happened?
Dave Portnoy
I would say it was exactly 520 days.
Jackie
It was about a year and a half. Two years ago.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, 522 days. No, but I'm serious. I. And I think it. There's definitely a level of paranoia within me. There's definitely that level of, like, looking for validation that I'm. That I'm seeking this stuff out to prove my point. Like, there's definitely that. But to be able to find it so easily and to see it so easily is kind of crazy. And so you think about the kids that are 20 years old, 25 years old, whatever they are, who don't have a fully developed brain yet. They haven't gone through life yet. Yeah, they've gone to school, they've been pampered by their parents, whatever, whatever. And then they come out and they talk like that, and they act like that, and no one has told them, hey, this is wrong, or, hey, this is. This isn't the way we do this. And then they're stuck that way. And they. They're getting their own validation from all these. Whoever the is online right now. I just don't even know who it is.
Kevin Clancy
It's weird to think about that's buns Be more opie. Thank you, Kayl. We love you, babe.
Dave Portnoy
Thank you.
Jackie
Thank you so much, Sa.
