I'm nervous being a podcast because you guys were just on it. I think they would be like, get the fuck out of here.
John Feidelberg
Well, my, my specific point in that was that their perspective FL flows from them. And I feel like my perspective, I feel like especially as I'm like, kind of like have been finding my voice like as a content creator. I don't know what my perspective is.
Kevin Clancy
This is interesting.
Jackie
See I, this is interesting. Couldn't disagree with you more as someone who watched Rome.com this morning.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I was gonna say, how's the new show?
Jackie
Like, but, like, I don't know what.
John Feidelberg
I think about the world. Like, I don't know what I think about. Like, I don't know what my opinions on things are. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. I feel you a perspective like that where it's like, this is right and this is wrong. And I know.
Kevin Clancy
Okay. I'm so happy you said that, because I. I feel like having been doing this for as long as I have, I hate the. Like, I follow so many people for so many influencers. Right. And every time a story comes out, they put out, like, a video on it or a take on it, and I'm like, you just know everything, huh? Like, you.
John Feidelberg
You.
Kevin Clancy
You have the answer for every single story that's even remotely close to your field, huh? I don't. I don't mind having an opinion, but everybody purports themselves as, like, an expert, you know? But I also think it doesn't put asses in the seats if I make a video being like, I don't know really what I'm talking about. But here's my thoughts. Like, people want to, like, hear some. Well, that's the other thing. Yeah.
Jackie
If you go.
Kevin Clancy
If you. If you middleman it, it's like, pick a side, you know?
Jackie
I think we got all three. I don't know what Jackie stance on this is.
Dave Portnoy
I literally was just going to say on Fishbowl, every time you walk by, we're like, he's so goddamn cool. Like, he's so goddamn.
John Feidelberg
Like, that's nice of you.
Dave Portnoy
We all agree.
John Feidelberg
Like, cool. Thank you. That's nice of you.
Kevin Clancy
Definitely got the cool factor.
Jackie
But as far as, like, perspectives go, like, I. I actually recently had an epiphany. It's kind of more of a New Year's resolution. I'm reading a lot more magazines this year.
John Feidelberg
Where are you finding them?
Jackie
I'm done with the news, I'm done with newspapers. I'm done with the Internet going to the rack and you're pulling them out buying magazines, dude. I'm getting subscriptions to magazines.
Kevin Clancy
Why not newspapers? But magazines?
Jackie
Too quick. Everything's. I don't need. I don't need every update.
Kevin Clancy
You want like a weekly, I'll sort.
Jackie
It out and then tell me I don't agree with that. I don't fucking need.
Kevin Clancy
Every day is a problem.
Jackie
Like, the.
John Feidelberg
The.
Jackie
One of the things that made me decide, like, I'm tired of following this shit was the baldoni, where it's like every day they have a new response. It's like you two figure the fuck out and tell me when you come to a conclusion. I don't need every day.
John Feidelberg
Magazines are incredible magazines. Have you heard of them?
Kevin Clancy
You got to zoom out.
Jackie
You're writing an article for public. Have to zoom out. And it's got to be like, well, this has to stand. Like, this has to be relevant for, like, a year and, like, in three weeks.
Kevin Clancy
But honestly, people are going to grab that, like, up that you used to grab. Like, if you're in a doctor's office or whatever, you grab it. You're like, this is from March. But, like, you still read it.
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
Yeah, right?
Kevin Clancy
So it's still got to have. It can be dated, obviously, but, like, it should stand up for a pretty long time.
Jackie
I got a subscription. I got a subscription to Vanity Fair, the Atlantic. I've always had the New Yorker. And I'm looking for one more. Oh, he's in the market.
Kevin Clancy
If you run a magazine, hit up your boy.
John Feidelberg
Final Bird. When I was in, like, high school and, like, college, I used to subscribe to Esquire and gq.
Jackie
I was like, here's what it means.
Kevin Clancy
To be a man.
Jackie
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Every. Every guy was like, here's how I'm going to dress. Here's what I'm going to, like, buy. Here's what I need to, like, have hanging on my walls, like, all that shit.
Jackie
The. What I am is just the gq. Ask a bartender. Yeah, I'm just that page come to life.
John Feidelberg
But even.
Kevin Clancy
You know what I mean? It's funny because I ended up, I think, thinking he was kind of like a blowhard, like, loser. But Tom. Tom Riley, right? Tom Riley.
Jackie
Rick Riley.
Kevin Clancy
Rick Riley.
John Feidelberg
Oh, yes.
Kevin Clancy
Last page. Sports Illustrated was always a good thing. You know, I would flip to that first, and it was, like, known, you.
Jackie
Know, And Rick Riley, page two, that. Ask a bartender. That was like. I was like, I have to read this every article you grew up on.
Kevin Clancy
Seventeen magazines.
Dave Portnoy
Seventeen magazine.
Kevin Clancy
Anything else?
Dave Portnoy
I don't think, like, the names, but, like, the. The girly one.
John Feidelberg
Cosmopolitan.
Dave Portnoy
Cosmopolitan.
John Feidelberg
That was always, like, a list of, like, 50 things to do when you get your period.
Kevin Clancy
Dude, that was like, you know, it was like 300 ways to please your man.
John Feidelberg
It was all, yeah, list. Yeah, please your man.
Kevin Clancy
I think Patrice O'Neill has a joke. He's like, it's 300 ways to please your man. Suck his dick. Fix Chappelle. Suck his dick. Fix the sandwich.
Jackie
Be quiet.
Kevin Clancy
There's not 300 ways to please us.
John Feidelberg
It was always like, use ice cubes.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah, pull on his earlobe.
Jackie
I was like, I remember being young, getting a blowjob with an ice cube. And I was like, God damn.
John Feidelberg
Bro.
Kevin Clancy
When I was young, you give me a blow job with fire in your mouth.
Jackie
Yes, whatever.
Dave Portnoy
She just have it like in her.
Jackie
Cheek, like in her mouth. Like, which I couldn't do. My teeth are too sensitive. I could never have an ice cube in my mouth while a dick is in my mouth. Cold.
Kevin Clancy
That's it.
John Feidelberg
The reason you don't suck.
Kevin Clancy
What's worse, the dick or the ice cube?
Jackie
The cube. The cube. Honestly, what's more painful? Probably the ice cube.
John Feidelberg
What was 17? Is that like a bunch of pictures of like celebrities and it's like they're. These two are dating. Or is that like people?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, it was kind of like that was people. That was when I read. It was like the side by side, like, who wore it better? But 17 was a lot of like, it was like most embarrassing stories and like stuff like that. Like a lot of segments is like. I remember, I remember like there was like this whole section that everyone loved. It was like most like write ins or what would you do or all this.
Kevin Clancy
People love that, man. Do you remember the lowest. I think the lowest barstool has ever been. Do you remember those Whispers posts? They were called Whispers.
Jackie
It brings about.
John Feidelberg
What is that? Like do more type of shit?
Kevin Clancy
It was kind of. It was like personal. It was anonymous.
Jackie
This is the old office.
Kevin Clancy
It was the old editor we legally cannot talk about anymore.
Jackie
Yeah, I know that was him.
Kevin Clancy
But yeah, and to be fair, he was brought into raise page views and these fucking people click on it. But it was just like an anonymous little like blurb. That was like one time, like I was sleeping at my boyfriend's house and I like my ex in the. In the kitchen, while he like didn't know that's it. It just said that. And people would just read these things.
John Feidelberg
Like, oh, yes, yes, testimonials.
Kevin Clancy
And. And I remember them like being like top of the blog. And I was like, we're going in a bad direction. I don't care how many clicks this is getting. This is.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, there would be like a stylized picture and the text would be like over the picture be like a martini glass.
Dave Portnoy
I remember like in Seventeen magazine, the worst one I remember and I don't even know why it sticks out to me is like this girl was like, I like had a face mask on. Then my dog ran out and then like I saw my crush or whatever and I remember being like, oh, my God. Like, I grew up and I was like, yo, I just threw up on a dick. And he said, you don't chew enough.
Kevin Clancy
I don't think that is Jackie's crazy story.
Dave Portnoy
That's not even.
Kevin Clancy
It was the most, maybe the most uncomfortable I've ever been. It was like. It's like you're your daughter telling you. The nerve of that guy, though. It's like, I thought you just be happy.
Jackie
I was really putting some choose.
Dave Portnoy
How about you never getting a blow job again?
John Feidelberg
Oh, he gave you attitude.
Jackie
He said.
Kevin Clancy
He said you don't chew your food at all.
Jackie
See, I think that's the funniest response possible.
Dave Portnoy
No, it was hilarious.
John Feidelberg
It was hilarious. Yeah, I'm sure at the time it was so funny.
Jackie
God damn. Is that a half a Big Mac? You swallow this hot dog holes like.
Dave Portnoy
A dog spaghetti too. So it's like you could physically see it's like chewed like a tape.
Jackie
You guys start putting rocks in Jackie's food like a puppy. But. But I want to say more about roan.com before we got too far again, speaking about perspectives and stuff like that, I thought it was so cool. I thought the show was awesome to actually. To give you the highest compliment possible. I Woke up about 8:50 and I was like, oh, Rome.com's about to start. My phone's right here. I'll pop it on. And I watch like 10 minutes on my phone and say, you know what? I'm moving it to the big screen. That's love.
John Feidelberg
It's probably because you just actually wanted to be on your phone.
Jackie
It was. It was awesome. But I like that you were just like, we're always talking about, like, answers and stuff like that. You're like, look, we're gonna figure it out.
John Feidelberg
Right?
Jackie
And you're kind of guys who, like, we want to be on the ride with.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I feel like a lot of people will do that for you. Like, Like, I. I think very few people can just kind of like, freestyle it and trust that, like, people will. Will be along for the ride. Like, there are some people I think you got to deliver, like.
Jackie
Yeah, but they were also like, you know, 40 unbelievable ideas I can't wait to see.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, I think that it's like, I want to make sure that there is a baseline of like, some idea that I came up with so I'm not just like, hey, you guys, tell me what to do. I think that's lazy, but I think having it be Influenced by people who are watching is good, but like letting them pick instead of letting them dictate. I think it's like a little bit easier. But also I keep on comparing it to like the first episode of the Simpsons. Not that it's ever going to be like that. I don't even care about the success of it. More is about doing it. But like, first episode of the Simpsons, like, the voices weren't the same, the animation wasn't the same, the level of jokes wasn't the same. Like, I think it will build into something that's interesting, but it's like for me, more the joy will be in just doing the work as opposed to like getting the feedback.
Kevin Clancy
I think we're all getting in that spot, which is cool to see.
John Feidelberg
Totally.
Kevin Clancy
It's like, you know, you still have to perform and it's still a job and make money and all that. But a lot of us are all relatively in the same age group and been around long enough.
Jackie
Like even.
Kevin Clancy
There used to be a time where like there were people here for a long time and people here for a short time, and now it's like long time versus longer time.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Once you're. Once you're, you know, in it for like a decade or whatever, you're. You're here just as much as anybody. You know what I mean? So like, we're all, at least most of us are like in that spot where, where we've been here long enough that I think it's time to. People are realizing, like, just do what.
John Feidelberg
What you want, you know, and just like the. There will be feedback. But like, if you let that dictate it, like, that is the one way ticket to mental health problems.
Jackie
That's one of the braver things about I. I said earlier yesterday when you announced it, I was like, doing a morning show is incredibly brave. Like, I, I can't do a morning show. It's not going to happen. I'm never going to be able to do a live morning show. I'm not that guy.
John Feidelberg
I just don't know. Like, in some ways it's a morning show because it happens in the mornings. But it's like, I'm not talking about the weather and traffic.
Kevin Clancy
I think John literally means the time of day.
Jackie
I mean, waking up.
Kevin Clancy
No, no, no.
Jackie
I mean like, like you, you can't miss an alarm. Dude. Dude, you miss an alarm, the show doesn't happen.
John Feidelberg
That's going to have kids. And I mean, correct me if I'm.
Jackie
Wrong.
John Feidelberg
I'm not going to be I'm not going to be able to sleep in and God knows I'm not going to want to be at the house taking care of.
Kevin Clancy
Me. These people who are like, I want like six months paternity leave. I was like, two weeks. See you later. That is crazy.
John Feidelberg
I think people. I think we get four months paternity leave.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
It's crazy these days. I can't. Yeah, you can't because, like, you have ads sold for your show.
Jackie
You know what I mean?
John Feidelberg
Like, you can't just not be on the show.
Kevin Clancy
There are, you know, two people in this world and I think both of them are valid. People take 4 months paternity leave and people don't. And you can do both. And I'm cool with both. I just know which one I am and which one I am not.
John Feidelberg
But, like, maybe if it didn't matter if I was just like pushing numbers or something like that, right?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah.
John Feidelberg
But it's like my success is determined by my output and it's like, I need to have good output.
Jackie
Yeah, that was another part of that got me jacked up. Your whole, like, first, like, I want responsibility. I want that pressure on me. I was like, let's go.
John Feidelberg
It's so much better, dude. It's so much better to work than to, like, get feedback about your work. Like, it's so much better to work than, like, be thinking about it. It's just like so much better to do stuff. It's like doing stuff is like, when you realize that it's like Miley Cyrus shit. But it's like the journey is the destination type of shit.
Kevin Clancy
Like when we did our best work, I was never looking at results, money, feedback. I was just doing it. Like, even before barstool, I was just writing for fun.
Jackie
Yeah, I didn't know.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, right, right. I think about it now. I'm like, like, I just cannot get going on Tick Tock. Like, I just. I use it every day, multiple times a day. I do exactly what I do on Instagram. It does well. And it just does not work on TikTok and I. And. And it's like, you know, because the views are right there, you know, it's like, you see this did 200 views. I'm like, this is impossible.
John Feidelberg
You know, and then you'll get someone who's just talking, like, with their mouthful, like doing makeup and they have like 20 million views.
Kevin Clancy
But there was a time where I would. If I. If you told me that 200 people read my blog, I would have been like, I Went viral. Yo. And it's obviously, it's all different. Becomes your job, how you earn. There's different levels to it. But I was like, I try to remember that time. I was like, I. There were times where I was like, not going out. I would be like, the guys are going out, we're gonna go watch the game. And I was like, I'm staying in to write a box for. Not for. For my previous site. No one was going to read it. I just wanted to finish this little piece.
John Feidelberg
That was your enjoyment activity?
Kevin Clancy
Yes.
John Feidelberg
Like last night I got home from work, I didn' Like, I wasn't like watching tv. I wasn't scrolling. I was just like, trying to write out ideas and work on stuff for this. And then I went to bed. It was like, that was my leisure activity, was doing something that I found entertaining for work. Like, I thought that was the best way to do it.
Jackie
We've talked about that before with Hot. With Jackie. Hobbies where I. Yeah, Like, I don't know. I find work to be a bit of a hobby of mine. Like, I like doing it. It's fun.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, it's nice.
Jackie
Like, that's not. That doesn't count. You don't have hobbies. Like, I kind of do. I think I enjoy it.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, that's valid.
Dave Portnoy
I also feel like because of Tik Tok, like, everyone's in like a let him cook mindset where it's like we saw all these like creators, like, start small and then they just ended up like blowing up and they caught on the. They just like stuck with it. And like now with the tick tock ban thing, I noticed like a lot people jumped onto reels like started YouTube's and everyone's kind of like, like so much more supportive rather than like, cringe. I feel like my mindset's like, oh my God, they're going for it. That's cool. Rather than. I feel like I would have been like, oh, that's so cringe. But, like. And I feel like I've talked to my friends and they're like, wow, like, that's smart of them to get on because everyone's just like, let them cook. Like, yeah, let's see how this plays out. Because of the Charlie dude, if the.
Kevin Clancy
Addison Rays, whatever, the world could just get a little looser with clicking subscribe or clicking like, or whatever. Everybody would win.
Jackie
Everybody do it more and everything. You know what I mean?
Kevin Clancy
It costs you nothing. It does nothing for you and it can like make or break somebody. I finally, I'VE been trying to, like, really crack the YouTube nut for a long time now. And, like, if you really want to do YouTube, right, you have to, like, pick a thing, pick a lane, and just do that. And I just can't do that. It's just I don't have any expertise in anything, and I don't have any one thing that I want to talk about all the time that also would be interested. Have interest in, people would have interest in. So I. I just said it, and I just started, like, I have KFC Bar still on Twitter, Instagram, and now I just did KFC Bar still on YouTube. And I just put everything on there. And I don't know if it's going to work.
John Feidelberg
That's good.
Kevin Clancy
It probably won't because, like, I'm pretty sure I understand how these algorithms work and shit. But I was like, when we. I'm just taking the blog mentality. The most success we ever had was doing a blog and doing a podcast where we just, like, rip it. I'm just going to rip it. And, like, you know, I put five videos up in a day. Like, Bill Bur. The one about the Bill Burr thing got like 1200 views overnight with. With no subscribers. All right, we're getting some. Some traction. Another one, it literally said the words no views. It didn't even say zero. It said no views.
John Feidelberg
How is that possible?
Jackie
I don't know.
John Feidelberg
But I.
Kevin Clancy
At the very least, I'm gonna use all of this information down the line. You know what I mean?
Jackie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And I. And it stopped me so many times. I've tried this YouTube thing so many times, and I'm like, I did a Game of Thrones video, and it popped off. I'm like, oh, I'm talking just about Game of Thrones. I don't want to talk about just Game of Thrones every day. That's not talking about Eminem's album that popped off. I like rap. I don't think I can make, like, a whole channel of it, but if you bounce around, people don't seem to really subscribe or. Or continue to fall follow. And I was like, I don't know, man. I still think I'm going to do it my way. And hopefully it works that.
Jackie
It is a weird thing with the Internet where, like, it's. It's. And, like, we've lived through, like, multiple iterations of it. Where, like, I feel like when Barstool first started, it was better to be Jack of all trades, not no master.
Kevin Clancy
And now.
Jackie
And then it went More master. And then I think more. I think I. Maybe it's. Again, it's so hard talking about the Internet because it's all so catered to you.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
So like. But most of I see now is a lot of people being like, I know I'm trying something new.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
And I don't know if that's because of my algorithm or whatever, but like in my head that's the newer wave again. The algorithm fucked it all up. And I don't believe in the algorithm.
John Feidelberg
You think it's fake?
Kevin Clancy
Meaning? Meaning like there's not even like what do you mean?
Jackie
I think that I. First of all, I do obviously believe there is an algorithm, but it's not.
John Feidelberg
It sounds so good to say.
Jackie
I think like humanity, we always need someone to blame or someone to thank or someone to like be like humble about and be like, yeah, it's just we got lucky. Algorithm or. And it's like, it's just how we referred to God in the past. It's like the algorithm me and I didn't get anything or the algorithm praised me and blessed me. Like I, I don't know. I'm sure, Yes, I believe the algorithm exists. Of course it just used to be.
Kevin Clancy
Like more, you know, you had to like put barstool sports into a URL and go there. You know what I mean? So everybody, all the fans that we had were fans cuz they were going to it and now it's like now.
John Feidelberg
Even.Com, like.com, even me putting doom in the name is like, it's like referential to an older time. Like all purposes to be like oh.com, remember do. There are still do everywhere.
Kevin Clancy
I mean I used to like have my rotation of blogs type it in, type it in, type it in like every time and now it's just fed to you and it's like, you know, the algorithm figures you out a little bit, but it's also like I think it's the amount of times that people will send me a video and I'm like, that was just in my algorithm too. And it's like we're all in the same algorithm and I guess maybe you know.
Jackie
Well that's actually another reason I really liked roan.com is because you were showing videos that I feel like everyone just sends the same 10 videos every week.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, right.
Jackie
And you had like I had to eventually get in the shower so I could be here in time for this, but I got in the shower right around time you were showing like the, the kid battle rapping the potato.
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
And there was. When I got out of the shower, there was a video, young video of Sass walking around. I think it's cool that you're like curating. Like, I don't know, like, again, exactly. You're talking about you like, this is just the shit I like, right?
John Feidelberg
I'm just trying to make my own algorithm, basically. But I also. The sass stuff or just like, I want to shine light on people who are doing well within barstool too. So I was like, just showing videos of like Nick and KB or Francis and shit. Like, I think that that's like a little bit untapped.
Kevin Clancy
But you think people at barstool like praising other people at Barstool, I would say is completely untapped.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, that would be like a good thing going forward or just at least interesting going forward. But I think that we all have one fallback option that none of us have taken and it is always sitting right there for us. And that's the grift. Like we. We good political grift. We could go left, right? Hard as fuck.
Kevin Clancy
My biggest at this point, my biggest regret is not just going full blown.
John Feidelberg
Golf or Grift could be a great show.
Kevin Clancy
It's like, it's like a making the band type show where you're bringing up influencers and you're in. In the golf house or golf. That was sitting right there for us. We would have. We were. We were like leading the charge on that until it became like overly political and overly serious. And then I was like, I don't want to talk about this anymore. But if we just kept leaning into it non binary like, we would have 100.
John Feidelberg
It would have gone crazy.
Kevin Clancy
You know, Dave would be Joe Rogan right now. And not that Dave is not already a massive star, but like you, you know, even Joe Rogan did it. Like he went from being big to like mega just by leaning into you go mega. When you go maga. Like, it's just an easy.
John Feidelberg
It's insane.
Jackie
It's the absolute opposite of go, well, go, bro. But.
Kevin Clancy
But it's like there was a time where I was like, I couldn't do that. I can't. I don't think I could like live with myself. Not even because of the politics, just because I'm like, I'm living a lie.
John Feidelberg
Or it's like, yeah, I don't really think that.
Kevin Clancy
But also now I'm at the point where, like, I don't give a fuck, right?
Jackie
Once you.
Kevin Clancy
If I'm personally past that and it's like, yeah, I don't know. The liberal mob would come after me. Or if you went the other direction and the conservative mob came after. He was like, I don't care.
John Feidelberg
There's no dollars behind seeing both sides of an issue.
Jackie
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
You know what I mean? Like, you can't make money by being like, this is a good point. But also, like, that is this perspective behind it, and that is, like, where the truth is. But there is, like, absolutely no money in that space. So it's like, you either lean into it or you pick up a club.
Jackie
The golf thing always makes you laugh because that was tips@BarcelonalSports.com the number one.
Kevin Clancy
John, which was the email tips. You sent in an email.
Jackie
It might still be active. I don't know.
Kevin Clancy
Like, you know, but for us bloggers to blog it. Material for the bloggers, the.
Jackie
The number one email would just be like, will you guys please make golf towels? And I me. And like, I'd be like, dave, we got another one. Like, we're not doing golf.
Kevin Clancy
These morons.
Jackie
All people wanted was golf. And I don't know why we didn't make them.
John Feidelberg
It probably cost 10 cents to make.
Kevin Clancy
That's the cheapest fabric, you know, 500 if there was just one golfer in the original, like, OG crew.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Like, because. Because, I mean, you know, it's funny. Is Griggs was grift.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Until he was golf. I'm out.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, I can do this. Instead of. I talked about Donald Trump all day.
John Feidelberg
See you the so much better. And it's so awesome. And it does. It does sit there for any of us that want to jump on it. And it will be there. But, like, can you live with yourself? Like, do you really believe it? Do they really believe it wouldn't be fun.
Jackie
I'd rather have fun. And that's just not.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, well. But it goes, you know, it's like you reach a spot in your job where you're, like, lucky enough, blessed enough, did enough work previously to now just, like, have fun. You know what I mean?
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
If you're. If you're really trying to make it right now for the first time, though, it's a different story where it's like, I don't have the luxury of just, like, around with my four friends here. It does well. Doesn't do amazing. Does well enough that we can all fucking live a great life. If you're like, I have nothing and I'm trying to make it. It's like, you almost do have to pick a Thing and sell out or obsess over it.
John Feidelberg
And you know, there's like 17 year olds grifting now. You know there's like 12 year old.
Dave Portnoy
Like grifting sounds like a like weird sex term that the Mormons are grifting.
John Feidelberg
It's gross what they're doing. But I see 12 year like, I see like 17 year olds who are like, like being like, debate me. Like k should be worse.
Kevin Clancy
Imagine being like in sixth grade if.
Jackie
You'Ve ever said debate me, you should kill yourself.
John Feidelberg
Yeah. So bad.
Jackie
Debate me on anything.
John Feidelberg
Anything you want me like a blanket debater who will just. I'll debate you on anything you want to. It's like there's no merit.
Jackie
There was an era where debate me was real big. And it was always so like, no, I, I don't, no, I don't want to debate you.
Kevin Clancy
No, thank you.
Jackie
It was like every Twitter, like, debate me. Debate me.
Kevin Clancy
And I also love the like, why won't Joe Rogan debate me on his platform? Cuz you're a nobody. And that's, you know, an appearance on his show is worth like $10 million. You.
Jackie
That's what I used to say outside at and T ballpark. Just like, why will Barry Bonds go against me at Home Run Derby? Why won't Barry Bonds go against me?
Kevin Clancy
I saw a video, I don't remember what the account was, but it was during that, that trend of I'm a blah, blah, blah. Of course I'm gonna say, you know, yeah. And it was like maybe 10, 12 year old kids walk around being like, I'm a conservative kid. Of course I think I'm talking about, I was like, it was like a little boy who should be like riding his bike and climbing trees and, and he's talking about, you know, the, the election. I'm like, like, oh, and he probably.
John Feidelberg
Has a bigger house than any of us. He probably is rolling in it because it's such a good grift, dude. It's an incredible grift. But you don't come up with that on your own. Like you have to be influenced to that. And I don't know if that's an in house influence or if they're, if they get it online. Like it could be Andrew Tate just in people's ears or whatever.
Kevin Clancy
I think that's a very real thing for sure.
Jackie

Kevin Clancy
Like, what's your. That influence? You know what I mean?
John Feidelberg
Like, what's your plan as far as your kids, Like, Internet consumption? Yeah. Or. I obviously, like, people are like, you. You can use a screen. Like, people are crazy about screen time.
Kevin Clancy
I'm cool with screen time. I. I do worry about the Internet a little bit. Like. Like, so Shay. I made like a tick tock for Shay. That is like, you can't find it. You can't. She can't watch anything. Nobody can find her. It's basically just for her to be able to. Like, she, like, in the beginning, she was using my phone making videos and then just like saving them as drafts. She was using my phone so goddamn much. I just put it on like a tablet first.
John Feidelberg
We can't be both addicted to this.
Kevin Clancy
So that's basically the problem. So. So she started making, like, little videos, like, totally harmless, nobody not getting posted at all, whatever. And then the band happened and she woke up and was like, can I go, like, make tick tock videos? And I was like, it got banned. And she was like, what? And she. It was. It was scary, but kind of funny. Like, the light bulb went off her head. She goes, dad, I couldn't. I couldn't go for without. Like, I couldn't go with it. I couldn't go without it for like two hours. Internet works. So it was like eye opening. I was like. Because part of me is very, you know, in a way, I'm very pro. It because I think, you know, look at all, all this stuff I think is awesome. But I also know like the dark side of it too. So I was very torn and seeing that, I was like, oh boy, this is. You could really become one of those kids. Your face is just buried in tick tock and like, you know, go touch grass sort of.
John Feidelberg
But it was like, yeah, that's tough. And have you guys seen that? Have any of you clicked on the tick tock, the stem tab?
Kevin Clancy
I always see that, but I never clicked on it.
John Feidelberg
It's like science, technology, engineering, mechanics, or I don't know. I clicked on it and it's like all educational. I guess that's what they have in China. Maybe that's all the, that's all they're feeding them. But I literally.
Kevin Clancy
They don't give them food either.
John Feidelberg
But I couldn't keep up with one, like one thing that they were explaining or like they're like explaining like calculus and I just couldn't keep up with it. And I don't know if I'm getting dumber or if these are high level ideas or like there is some value.
Kevin Clancy
I mean like my playing video games, my, my kid has learned to read way better. Yeah. Learned like all the rules of sports, but playing video games, like, I do think there are some, there is some value in that, in that stuff. And like, if you're watching engineering videos, I don't see how people can say that's bad just because it's on a physical screen as opposed to a magazine.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You know, like at some point it's like you're. It's just what the device, the medium that they're consuming, it is the problem. Because if it's all good stuff, it's all educational, what's the difference between a teacher standing there and a YouTube video standing there? You know what I mean?
Jackie
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
But I, there is that element of like when they're just stuck there. I guess that's the.
John Feidelberg
I've never thought about it as like how it is for parents until I'm in this situation where I'm going to be a parent and it does seem like thankless. Like you either have to be their tick tock or you put them on tick tock. You have to be so entertaining that they're gonna get that same dopamine hit to their brain by like the new things that you're giving them. It's like when you buy a kid a toy every hour. Like, I don't understand.
Kevin Clancy
Listen, if you, if you are one of These parents that limit screen times, like an hour a day and you can fill the rest of those hours. God bless you. You are an amazing parent, truly. Again, like the paternity leave thing, I'm.
Jackie
Just not one of those.
Kevin Clancy
I can't. I don't know my friends, I play with my kids a lot, I talk to them a lot. I do a lot of. And there's still so many hours in a day to kill time where it's like, yeah, I'll just go play video games or like, watch the tablet. I can't. I can't not.
Jackie
I think the Do I just. Speaking from the one group of friends I have who have two kids, they said like their first kid, they were very vigilant about like, you don't know, screen all the time, blah, blah, blah, blah. But then when the second kid got in the mix, they're like, take the tablet and off.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, you think about third or fourth, it's like raised by wolves, you know, it's like.
John Feidelberg
Do you think that people are more depressed now because of like the Internet? Or do you think that it's just like, people have more terms for depression now or like more access to the idea of depression?
Jackie
Bro, It's a great question. I literally was making notes for this show last night and I have. Where is it?
Dave Portnoy
I also sometimes think like, like social media in. Sorry to.
John Feidelberg
Just.
Jackie
Sorry.
Dave Portnoy
Okay, but, but like, if you rewire your brain a little bit, like, I feel like I used to get a lot of FOMO on Instagram now or whatever, and then I would see things, I'd be like, oh, I don't have that, those clothes, that, that body, whatever. But then I was like, okay, but if they can get it, then I can get it. So then now I kind of go on and I feel like, inspired. Like when I see something like, oh, then that. It's like when somebody breaks like a four minute mile, that means like, then everyone can do it. Somebody like, whatever.
Jackie
Yeah, you gotta see someone do it before you believe you can do it.
Dave Portnoy
Exactly. So then sometimes I'm like, oh my God, if they can do it, like, why? What's stopping me? Like, I've been, you know, blessed to be born, whatever. And then also like, I think Instagram sometimes, like, you're able to present yourself in a way. Like, sometimes in order to like, if you want to rebrand yourself or whatever, you have to like, a big factor of that is having other people see you as that. Because a lot of times you see yourself through other people's eyes. So if you present yourself, like, if all of a sudden I was like, this badass goth chick, and I don't have the personality. Back that up right now, you know, Like, I'm not.
John Feidelberg
Right now.
Kevin Clancy
Right now, yourself the chance.
Dave Portnoy
But if I start posting pictures, maybe, like, like, raw, you know, like, whatever, then you guys start to be in. Like, then you guys are kind of like, oh, she got a little bit of an tour. And then you guys kind of treat me like. Like, if done right, like, imagine again, if done right, then you guys start. Start to treat me like I'm totally this badass. So it kind of like, you can also use social media as bad as it is. Like, you can use it in the right ways to, like, leverage yourself. Like, if I want to rebrand myself.
Kevin Clancy
You just do it.
Dave Portnoy
By the way, I'm becoming a go.
Kevin Clancy
Like, literally what you're describing is Machine Gun Kelly. And he just. Just did it. And yeah, there was some people either making fun of it. Eminem, like, made you quit rap, or like, you suck at this, or, you know, you're whatever. But he just, like, kept doing it, and now he's that.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And it worked out pretty well. The amount of people, like, it's. It's the grift. Like, if tomorrow I just started being this political guy, there'd be, like, people. What the. And in a year from now, I'd have a whole new following that doesn't realize that I just, like, did this. You know, look at Kirk Minahan. Kirk Minahan is. You know, him and the Kirkman sisters of the poor. Like, it's just like. Like, you find this new audience, you just do this thing, and it doesn't really matter.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, it doesn't matter. Social media is bad and everything, but we also have this tool now to, like, level up in life that we didn't have before.
Kevin Clancy
Right.
John Feidelberg
So we're anti depression. We're like, anti depression Internet. It's like an empowered Internet.
Jackie
First of all, I like how that question started with you going, like, do we think, like, we're mental illnesses? Where's that at? And Jackie was like, I might be goth. What if I became goth? At least for Halloween.
Kevin Clancy
At least for Halloween. Dress up.
Dave Portnoy
I am legitimately trying to work on having a little bit of an edge. I want to just kind of be like. Like, people be like, oh, like, that's.
Kevin Clancy
Nothing for a while. Do more drugs.
John Feidelberg
You know, you think you don't have an edge?
Dave Portnoy
I just don't think, like, I have, like, that, like, kind of like, oh, she could snap at any moment. Factor in, like. Like, maybe like in a crazy way, but not. Yeah, she's gonna buy every girl working on it yet.
John Feidelberg
But I think, like not snapping. Like, I kind of feel like I have the same thing where I'm like, I'm not gonna just snap on someone. Be like, shut the up. Because have this. Like, it's the same thing as being in the middle. It's like you also consider their opinion and their perspective regular human. But I guess someone. You just need to check that of the door, I guess snap on.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, I remember talking early days when A.J. delorio ran dead Spin. He was kind of like a. A Dave type figure. And like. And there was a couple blogs that we respected or knew of or big enough. And I think it was at the time where Deadspin was like running, you know, dick pics and leak texts and Manti Teo, you know. And I remember Dave being like, delorio will step on his grandmother's throat to get paid views. Like, he. You just head down, no consideration for anything else other than success. If you, you know, if you do that, you'll probably be successful. I just. Yeah.
Jackie
Just watch that movie for how long, though? Because what's A.J. delorio?
Kevin Clancy
That's what I mean.
John Feidelberg
True. I get burned out because you're like, this isn't me. Like, this is a toxic way to live my life. But I just watched that movie the Apprentice. Have you guys seen that? The Trump movie? It's interesting, but it's about his, like, come up and it just. It like he has that mindset too, where it's just like, I'm a killer. Yep, I'm going to be a killer. A killer is a winner. Like just.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, he's a fascinating story if you can't, you know, whatever. If you don't support his politics, don't like him. Whatever. There's. But there's no denying that it's the.
John Feidelberg
Movie'S worth to watch.
Jackie
I've heard it so good. But I can't. Can't stand the.
John Feidelberg
Well, it's also. It's a gay fest.
Jackie
Oh, all right, I'm in.
John Feidelberg
There's like, I didn't even flinch.
Jackie
Okay, now I'm in. It's.
John Feidelberg
It's literally a gay fest. Like his lawyer, Ray Con.
Jackie
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
Is like a.
Jackie
No Michael Cone. Like, that's one went to jail.
Kevin Clancy
Right.
Jackie
Or the one who Jeremy Strong plays.
Kevin Clancy
But this is.
Jackie
So That's a different guy.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, that guy.
Kevin Clancy
That's.
John Feidelberg
Whatever. He. But he. He's. He's just like a gay guy, I guess, or I don't know. And there's just like scenes where it's like literal orgies.
Kevin Clancy
But not with Donald.
John Feidelberg
Right. But there's a scene where he like touches Donald's like upper thigh almost to suggest.
Kevin Clancy
You know what's crazy you guys think what you want with that Sebastian. Stan played him.
Jackie
He's place.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. He was trying to. He was talking about how much. How little like publicity and support it got because like he wanted to do actor on actor and nobody would do it him really. They were like, we're not talking about that movie. And he was like, what? It's just a.
John Feidelberg
It's like almost. It's negative about him though. It's like.
Kevin Clancy
Well, that's the thing. I was like, I don't know if you, if you were like Hitler in a movie and you. You know what I mean?
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Like people would talk to you about that.
Jackie
Like Christoph Walls probably did it after.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
It's like there have been villains and.
Kevin Clancy
Terrible people before and he won.
Jackie
He won Golden Globe for that. We want to go and glove for something. He gave a speech.
Kevin Clancy
I'm sure it was that. Yeah.
John Feidelberg
For the Apprentice.
Kevin Clancy
No, no, it was because he said something thing. Because he made. I remember he made sure he mentioned.
Jackie
So. So he won for a different man.
Kevin Clancy
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he was like this other movie I worked on was also great. It was like definitely like, hey, don't.
Jackie
Forget that one too.
John Feidelberg
You guys were talking about Hitler in movies. And I've had this theory for a little bit that they're making Hitler too ugly in movies. That they're making Hitler like super gross. Like in glorious pastures. They made him gross. Yeah, there's a show like where he's like, he's like bald as fuck and like, look, he's like always fixing himself like super self conscious. I think that by making Hitler super ugly, it invalidates the fact that we can recognize that his ideas are bad. You know what I mean?
Kevin Clancy
Like, like I said, let's go kill everyone. You'd still be like, right?
John Feidelberg
Yeah, exactly. It's like I don't need him to be ugly for me to realize his ideas are ugly. You don't need to ugly him up.
Jackie
You might, but there are people out there. I'll.
John Feidelberg
Jeffrey Dahmer, Right? Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Kevin Clancy
She just, she's.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. No, for the record, Hitler, like, I'm for sure not with an early Hitler.
Kevin Clancy
Before he was Hitler.
Dave Portnoy
But I don't really.
Jackie
Stalin.
Dave Portnoy
And I. I seriously don't want to test it. Like, keep Hitler ugly.
John Feidelberg
But then, no, I think. I think that's our like, number one test of a litmus of where we are as a society. If, like, Austin Butler can be Hitler and people are still like, Nazi. If, like, pouty Timothy Chalamet is Hitler.
Kevin Clancy
Dude, Chalamet could make Hitler hot.
Jackie
Yeah. Like Hitler. Co.
Kevin Clancy
Remember that there was that time. I think it was Hitler. It might have been Stalin. And I think it was Hitler or Osam. It was Osama bin Laden. Remember on Tik Tok when Osama bin Laden had a wave? He wrote a letter.
John Feidelberg
They're like, oh, this is a hot.
Kevin Clancy
He wrote a letter that was very like, you know, liberal. Woo woo. Like ideal. Idealistic. And they were like, oh, something not so bad.
Jackie
I was like, ban this. Well, when you read most manifestos, you're like guys making a point where they.
Kevin Clancy
Went wrong was is the mass murder. It's not the ideology, it's the execution.
Jackie
I remember watching Manhunter. Manhunter. Unabomber. Unabomber, yeah. On Netflix. Or it was. It's not on Netflix anymore. It was a great show. It's with Sam. Sam Waterson, Werther Spoon. Paul Bettany plays the Unabomber.
Kevin Clancy
That's a great one.
Jackie
And I remember the episode where he's reading his manifesto and I was like, this guy. Guy's spin.
Kevin Clancy
Kinski said about like the Internet and. And the future is like dead ass accurate. All the. We're talking about today. Like, he nailed that many years ago.
John Feidelberg
But no one cares.
Jackie
Blow people up.
John Feidelberg
No one cares about your manifesto if you don't, like, put something behind because.
Kevin Clancy
You can't be that middleman.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, exactly.
Kevin Clancy
The algorithm doesn't respect that.
Jackie
You got to be a terrorist.
John Feidelberg
Yeah. You have terrorist.
Jackie
Yeah, I watch. I watch that UN show. And I was like, this guy's doing something with his life. What am I doing?
Kevin Clancy
He's got.
Jackie
Got. He's got confidence in his convictions.
John Feidelberg
Yeah. He knows what his perspective is.
Kevin Clancy
Like the, like Whitney Covey's joke about Luigi. She was like, he's a man with a plan who saw it through.
Jackie
He executed it.
Kevin Clancy
Like, we love a man who can look at me.
Jackie
I'm just here laying in bed. Like, I don't know. I guess I'll go get dinner. Like Ted Kaczynski's out there doing.
John Feidelberg
It's impressive.
Kevin Clancy
I do think the. I think that. That the Internet does potentially make you more depressed, but that we are. We are just so overexposed. Like, I do think the amount of interaction we have with other people who are not supposed to have interaction with. I think you're supposed to have, like, your friends, your family, couple friends, your kids, maybe a couple colleagues, and you.
John Feidelberg
Read the newspaper and you're like, oh, this is so far from me. Like, oh, like, 15 killed in Kuwait. Right? Kuwait is.
Jackie
That's what. That's part of. What I was so impressed with with rome.com because go subscribe is like, I can't. I also can't do. I can't do a morning show because I can't wake up in the morning. I also can't do a show where, like, live chat, because I. I think that's part of the Internet that, like, I finally, like, honed in on. It was like, this is a problem for me. Like, you can't have that many cooks in the kitchen. Like, it was like.
John Feidelberg
It's just totally.
Jackie
You know.
Kevin Clancy
You mean, like, when people are, like, talking to their chat being, like, not.
Jackie
Even just for me personally, it's not even chat. It's comments. It's anything where. Because, like, I. I saw an episode of Parks and Rec that, like, so crystallized it for me, because I was like, oh, I'm Leslie Knope, and it's the episode, if anyone's seen Parks and Rec. But she's running for city council, and she's having, like, a party at a bowling alley to attract voters, and there's one guy who hates her, and she can't greet anyone else because she's just focused on making this guy like her. And Adam Scott's, like, pulling her aside, and he's like, like, leslie, we have to. We have to get voters. Like, he's not gonna vote for you. Get work on other people. And she's like, no, I have to get him. And I. That's how I am when I read things. I'm like, I have to make that person happy, and I'm just not good at separate.
John Feidelberg
They can't be in charge. Like, every one of the people in the chat can't be in charge. Like, that guy at Leslie Knope's inauguration, Whatever. Can't be in charge of, like, how she acts.
Jackie
Yeah, but she was, because. Because she knew his opinion. He was in charge of how she acted. And I was like.
John Feidelberg
Like, I was ripping it without it. And I was like, am I. I almost felt like I was supposed to. So I would, like, do it for a while without him. Like, oh, yeah. What do you guys think? And almost, like, try to include it. Because I want there to be that interaction, but it was more natural to just not be.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, well, that's why, you know, it's. I think it's good if you have like a producer read it. I think there is good. It's almost. It's also good. Like all of these things are good as long as you don't let them influence you negatively. You know what I mean? So if you let the chat or.
Jackie
Positively interact, like, we always focus on negative. Like, like I would, like, I would positively see like someone wasn't being mean, but they weren't being nice either. It was just like they were just sharing their opinion and I'd be like, well, I gotta get that person to like, to like you, what I'm doing.
Kevin Clancy
Okay, I understand that, but. But I also think, well, when it comes to feedback, I always think that positive feedback takes like a little more effort to do. And yeah, I feel like when people give you positive, you can't buy into all the hype. But I think it is generally a little more real than like just someone being like you and, you know, getting their, their hate likes or whatever. So I, I think, you know, you can, can take it all with a grain of salt, but, you know, that's a good, that's a positive thing. I think that can motivate you. You know what I mean?
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
If you like, believe all your own hype, then, then it gets bad. But there is some level, I think getting some positive feedback and getting some critical, you know, critical feedback is.
John Feidelberg
And there's also the name of the game. Yeah, yeah, we also have it. Yeah, that's just part of having our fake job so we can like get a little bit of feedback.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, KFC radio was entirely dictated by the fans. Like, I started a Google voice number and I said, call up and leave your voicemails. And for whatever reason, it was like, you know, 15 different drunk, probably college bros in Boston, the Boston area. They all individually left hypotheticals that were like, yeah, who would, you know, this person versus that person in a pool, whatever. And so I just, I went with that as like the first episode. And that just became like the whole show, at least for the first several years, you know, had they called in and been like, you know, let's talk about baseball stats. And I probably would have a baseball show. So. Yeah, or politics. Like, they had only called about the second Amendment, but it just went that way, you know.
Dave Portnoy
Interesting though is like, I saw something that people, someone was saying that not just kind of people with like, the killer attitude are obviously the ones that are going to be more likely to become like influencers and like, like, you know, famous people, whatever. Because they have that killer attitude that's like, I don't care what you think, whatever. But then we kind of have like a lack of like not empathetic people as influencers, but like just people.
Jackie
I think we do.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You don't have to just put a disclaimer on that.
Dave Portnoy
There's such a harder, like, you know, it's like you are literally built in to care about what other people think, like seeing the comments and all that. So like, they're much more likely to be beat down by the climb up.
John Feidelberg
That's why Victoria Paris is the goat.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
She was like a tick tock. A woman on tick tock who just like put up like her strategy was like put up 50 clips a day.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
Like every single thing.
Kevin Clancy
And just.
John Feidelberg
She just like has that part of her brain is probably like smaller. She just does not give a. Yeah, exactly. And so.
Dave Portnoy
But then it's like we kind of need more people. Like more good, you know, not. I know nothing is sell, but. No, but like, it can't. Like, it's like, like I feel like you guys are all good, like people and examples of just like, I don't know, like you, you all like, if you could break through that.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I think you can get to a certain level. I'm trying to think of this.
Dave Portnoy
I don't think. I think it's harder for sure.
Jackie
But like, also, I'm just not following.
Kevin Clancy
Just like good people who are not.
John Feidelberg
Not, you know, remember when John Krasinski tried to do like good news during.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah. But even that felt like a grift to me and, you know, it was.
John Feidelberg
Like sold and like it stopped.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
Like he made a ton of money off of it and like he just flipped it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I remember they tried to do without him and it was like, well, we like you doing it, dude. Just like, see you later. I'm gonna take my millions ago.
Dave Portnoy
But it's not like other people saying like, oh, we don't like good people in media or whatever. It's just like you telling yourself like, oh, I don't, don't. I can't do this because I don't want to like, let these people, like, piss these people off. Like, it's you that stops yourself. Yeah, there's other people that stop you.
Jackie
I don't even think it's. I don't think it's other people. I Think it's just like, I don't want to do that.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
The reason I don't do any of that stuff isn't like, because success or failure. Yeah. I don't have an interest.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. No, but I think it would be nice if, like, you know, one of the top podcasts was not. Not inflammatory or divisive, but people don't give a.
John Feidelberg
About that.
Jackie
But, yeah, they want.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, I. I think there's kind of like, there's probably like five buckets of. Of content on the Internet, and I think one of them is that, like, confirmation bias, where it's like, people have an opinion and they are seeking out people who say that opinion.
Jackie
Right.
Kevin Clancy
And so there's gonna be a lot of people who do that. And, like, it would be better if. If it was not that way. You know, I don't know. At the same time, though, I say. I say all this and it doesn't work. But like, like, one of the things that people. The people who watch One Minute Man, I usually kind of just give both sides of that. Just like, here's what's happening. And a lot of people, for better or worse, for good, for me, bad for, like, the world, people are like, I get my news from you because you just, like, tell me what's going on. So there is, like, a little bit of a market for it, but. But it's never going to be. You know, if I had picked an. If I pick a side on one of those, it would probably be bigger, you know?
Jackie
Yeah, no, I mean, I guess, but, like, that's not.
Kevin Clancy
It's not who I am.
Jackie
It's like, I don't, like, I genuinely don't know. Here. Here's what we know.
Kevin Clancy
I think if you. If you are like, like, political and. And argumentative and. And that is like your personality, then like, rock on, brother.
Jackie
Right.
Kevin Clancy
You believe in that. You like the debate, you like the. The fight, whatever. Cool. I just think that that's like, I can't even imagine that.
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Even if you are that.
John Feidelberg
I think, like, Nick, you know, guys know who Nick Fuentes is.
Kevin Clancy
I know the name.
Jackie
Kanye's boy, right? Semite.
John Feidelberg
Yeah. He's like, viciously, like, naughty. Like, just. He's the grift to, like, the. He's like the final boss of grifting. He's like a genius at it. But he also has people at his house, like, talk to kill him. Right. You know what I mean?
Kevin Clancy
Is that worth.
Dave Portnoy
Like, he's not hot enough.
John Feidelberg
And honestly, if you're hot Enough like Pete, you. It's. That's how Colts get started. Really. It's just like a hot guy has like some wild ass ideas. If you're not hot, you're not getting it done.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I mean, who.
Jackie
Who was. Who was. What was the place in Texas right after Ruby Ridge? Waco.
John Feidelberg
Was he hot?
Jackie
Well, Taylor Kiss. I don't think he was, but that movie made him.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, when Tim Riggins is playing you. But I remember being like, I don't know about this. It's like Nephron playing Ted Bundy kind of work. This just feels a little bit of a stretch. Maybe. Maybe it's wrong theory.
John Feidelberg
Maybe like a hot. I was talking to Rudy about this. He was like, they need DEI Hitler is what they needed. Why can't she play.
Kevin Clancy
Hamilton's doing that, right?
Jackie
Hamilton Holocaust.
Kevin Clancy
If you made Hitler a black.
John Feidelberg
Black girl Hitler is interesting. That's interesting.
Jackie
Please do that.
John Feidelberg
Interesting. Like there's like something to it called.
Kevin Clancy
Black girl Hitler was.
John Feidelberg
That's interesting at least. Like it will still get like the eyeballs or the thought process rolling. It might be the last thing you ever do.
Kevin Clancy
Hitler.
Jackie
We're all in blackface and we're all men. Wrote the song Ron wrote.
John Feidelberg
Is interesting film. It is. And as an actress, I think Lupita Ngo could kill that role just because of her abilities. She's such a Oscar.
Jackie
Although I didn't see Day One or whatever it's called. That was a piece of which.
John Feidelberg
What was that one?
Jackie
Quiet Place Day One.
John Feidelberg
Oh, it sucked.
Jackie
Yeah. So bad. Watch it on a plane and it sucked. If it sucks on a plane, you're like the worst movie of all time.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, that's terrible.
Jackie
I don't even think I finished it. And then I passed on the flight too. And I got off and I was like, what are you watching? He said, quiet Place day one. I said, what'd you think? Because I turned it off. That's 0 for 2 on this flight for quiet place day one.
John Feidelberg
You both tried it?
Jackie
Yeah, we both heard loopies and the angles. Nyongo's the star.
Kevin Clancy
There's no like, you know, they gotta be quiet the whole time. It's all like non verbal acting and it's all kind of like.
Jackie
I like. I liked it. The first part while they were talking and then the aliens come in.
Kevin Clancy
I'm like, yeah, that's not your scene. You watch tv.
Jackie
Oh, wait, sorry. I'm starting to notice a little vibe around here at KFC radio. I'm starting to notice everyone working out A little bit. I know I go to the gym a lot. I know Paz goes to gym a lot.

Kevin Clancy
Okay.
Jackie
I need everyone's help. I'm gonna predict.
John Feidelberg
I'm here.
Kevin Clancy
Okay.
Jackie
There's this new show on Hulu called Paradise.
John Feidelberg
Okay.
Jackie
It's awesome. So dope, right? It's great. Like. Like, episode one is one of my favorite pilots of all time. I went in completely blind. So if you're listening to this going blind, just go watch it. Watch episode one and then figure it out. But went in blind. Watch episode one. I was like, that's television right there. Like the Scorsese meme. Like, this is cinema's. Like, that's tv. Like, so good. So I got jacked up. I was flying high, and I was talking to a lot of people about it, and I guess I got a little cocky. I got a little confident.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
The only thing Dave and I ever talk about.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, no.
Jackie
You recommended this even a little bit. Is television.
John Feidelberg
Really?
Jackie
So I. I fired off a text.
Kevin Clancy
No. A proactive one.
John Feidelberg
No.
Jackie
And I was like, yo, I don't.
Kevin Clancy
Think I've seen the show. I don't know if it's a Dave show.
Jackie
So I. So it was after episode one, I fired. I was like. I was like, yo, paradise on Hulu. Go in blind. Exactly everything. I just told everyone. And you.
Kevin Clancy
Okay, I'll let you finish. You're so dumb.
Jackie
And I sent it, and then I watched episodes two and three, and it's very good, but I'm. I'm starting to think it might be more NBC drama than unbelievable television. Okay.
Kevin Clancy
I felt the same.
Jackie
Like, and, and now, because I know Dave did the case race last night, so. And I recommended it yesterday, so I know he still hasn't seen it. So do I tell him right now? Do I go, hey, hey, yeah, pull back on that? Or do I let him have.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, no, no, no.
Jackie
See, because I. The last I recommended to him, which I, I, I was.
Kevin Clancy
This is the guy.
Jackie
I was also a little on edge on that one. And I, I was like, oh, Dave loves this kind of. It was the Agency on Paramount plus.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
And so I was like, as a yo. I'm like, two episodes in. It's. It's your style of show. He loves, like, that kind of CIA. And I was like, it's your style show. It's a great cast. I'm not sure they're gonna find their way, but, like, if you haven't heard of it, check it out. And then I recommend. So I can't go too back to back, because then I'm on strike three.
Kevin Clancy
Okay, lay out all my thoughts on this one. First of all, you texted me about paradise, and you were like, this is so right up your alley. Yeah, and you are dead ass, 100 accurate. So in what world would you. Then you pivot to Dave. My alley.
Jackie
There's no way it's up. Dave's out. Well, but it's different hours. See, it's still. It's not CIA, but it's Secret Service.
Kevin Clancy
It's like, yeah, but it's pretty sci fi, bro. It's pretty nerdy.
Jackie
Like, it's episode one. Episode one's all CIA, but even.
Kevin Clancy
But the end of episode one is like, we are into some.
Jackie
But he does Thrones and he likes.
Kevin Clancy
All like, yeah, okay, okay, but here. So then here's.
Jackie
Because I don't want to. I don't. I don't want to send the text and say, well, I'm pulling back on that wreck. Because then I don't want him to go. Oh, well, there's. I want him to go in.
John Feidelberg
Maybe he loves it.
Jackie
Excited. I don't want to. I don't want to up his. His vibe going in. I want him to go in excited.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, so you. Well, it depends on if you're worried about Dave Portnoy and his TV viewing experiences or you're worried about your reputation with Dave. Portnoy, Great question. Because I'll. I'll be honest. After watching episodes two and three, I don't think we're looking at like. Like Game of Thrones, the Wire, the Sopranos. So ruining paradise for someone is worth keeping your reputation with Dave?
Jackie
I don't think it is.
Kevin Clancy
Really.
Jackie
I think you are. You are.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, then you're a very, like, thoughtful man.
Jackie
If you.
Kevin Clancy
If you're willing to fall on this grenade and have Dave Portnoy on the unnamed show, be like, Feidelberg sucks at TV recommendations over paradise, then you are a. A beautiful soul.
Jackie
I think I just, like. I just. It's. I. I enjoyed episode one so much, being so blind to it it that I just want other people to experience that. And if you don't like two and three, fine. I was very clear. I was like, I've only watched episode one. It's awesome.
Kevin Clancy
I. I will say I. Lioness was like my biggest recommendation of the year.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And every single person that watched it was like, you are spot on. This is incredible. Except it born my.
Jackie
Really?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
Oh, I love Lioness too. You didn't like Lioness?
Kevin Clancy
Dave is stuck on this show, Tehran.
Jackie
Oh, Tehran's great. Dave, actually the one who recommended that to me.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. And he.
John Feidelberg
He's about their city in Iran.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the same. It's like. It's like. It's like. To me, I think it's like a knockoff Homeland. I actually don't like Tehran as much as he does. I think, like, Homeland just kind of did it better. Lioness is a little bit different, but similar vibe.
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Overseas terrorism. That kind of. But he was like Lioness. He's like, this is just like a cookie cutter version of Tehran. I was like, I don't know, man. Okay.
Jackie
Like, he's not.
Kevin Clancy
Everyone is.
Jackie
He's not wrong. But like, the cookie cutter version is fun sometimes. Tehran's more spy. He's gonna hate paradise.
Kevin Clancy
And that was my third party. I just don't think he's gonna like this show. I don't want to spoil it, but there is a, like a sci fi twist that, like, nerdy like, me likes. And I had her actually. Star wars and there are times.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Surprises you. I don't think this is gonna be the one.
John Feidelberg
But if you withdraw your recommendation of it, then he is already gonna think that you're like, you're your. Your perspective on it or your taste is bad. You know what I mean? Like, he'll like, you might as well just like Sit with your bet, even if it's like a losing one, because either he's no hedge, no heads. Maybe he'll like it or maybe he won't watch it. I think those are your. Your two. Your only two buckets.
Jackie
He. I. I think because. Because we talk about TV enough. Not a lot by any stretch, but, like, we talk about TV enough when we talk that I think he respects my opinion on it. And I did love episode one one, and I still. I liked episode two, and I liked episode three. I still like it, but I'm not as high on it as I once was. So I'm gonna. And again, I. I was very close. I've seen episode one. Episode one is awesome. It's as good as a pilot gets. Blah, blah, blah.
Kevin Clancy
You know what?
Jackie
I think I'm gonna leave.
Dave Portnoy
I think he'll respect not wavering more.
Jackie
Than also, like, we'll see him in a few days. And I. I feel like explaining things.
Kevin Clancy
In person is easier.
Jackie
I will be better at being like, yeah, I don't know, man. I feel one was great. Like, rather than, like, sending it in a text, I. I think I can convey my words. Whoopsies.
Kevin Clancy
You know what's better in person? Do you know what is insane? This whole conversation. The fact that we live our lives this way is insane.
John Feidelberg
Also, like, you guys are made. Like, you don't have to worry about.
Kevin Clancy
Like, it's actually the opposite. It's actually the opposite. The made men worry about Dave so much more than. Yeah, the new kids will be like, I don't give a. What Dave want. Oh, Dave watches tv. Him.
Jackie
I don't give a. I've told this story before. I remember when I was on a barstool outdoors with Won and Sydney Wells, and I think I was driving, and Sydney was like, how do you guys communicate with Dave? I was like, I don't. And she goes. And I was like, how do you communicate with Dave? She's like, I just FaceTime him whenever I want. Like, you FaceTime Dave Port.
Kevin Clancy
That's what I mean. Like, we would never.
Jackie
Never. You would have to have a gun to my head. Yeah, you would have to have a gun to my head to get me to FaceTime Dave without, like.
Kevin Clancy
And don't get me wrong, we're ridiculous. But it's. It's just.
John Feidelberg
Well, I don't even consider him as a person with likes and dislikes. Like, I don't consider him a person. He's like, guy who has, like, hobbies. Like, oh, he would like this show. Like, this is a food that he would like. I don't think it has like prerogatives on things.
Jackie
Well, that's, I disagree with that because I, I do. I have a pretty good grasp on his taste for tv and maybe I.
John Feidelberg
Just didn't even know he watched TV until like right now. I didn't even.
Jackie
He's pretty quiet about it. Yeah. But he like, he kind of just talks to people about it. He doesn't really tweet.
Kevin Clancy
It's not like content or whatever. Dave's content is just. I mean, there's pizza and it's just like him, like he's become his own like industry of content.
Jackie
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
But you're never going to catch him being like, like every now and then he'll do like a recap of like a big episode of television or something like that.
Jackie
Yeah, he did like way back in the day he would do office recaps on Friday mornings.
Kevin Clancy
Really?
Jackie
So he has always been a tv. He mentions it a lot less now.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
But like the Bachelor stuff, I feel like he used to be into. Or maybe that was just bar.
Kevin Clancy
No. American Idol.
Jackie
American Idol. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
So he did have those. But I just think it's been, you know, kind of less.
John Feidelberg
But the Star wars is the most surprising.
Kevin Clancy
That that blew my mind. Mind.
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
If I had to guess before knowing that, I would have been like, Dave hates this. Like outer space, weird aliens, made up words, names and languages. Like, is he a little boy?
John Feidelberg
Deep down.
Jackie
He'S a man child. He's always a little boy.
Kevin Clancy
Dave using manchild wrong is one of my favorite. Oh, speaking of Jerry Jones just can't stop saying glory hole. He did it again.
Jackie
Wait, he actually said glory hole? I've seen like the fourth time he's done it.
John Feidelberg
It.
Jackie
What? Yes.
Kevin Clancy
For, for the last decade. I, I love this. This is one of my favorite running things at this point. He's done four times in like his career that, that has been on like the record on, on air. It's like almost like a, like a comet or something. Every like 10 years he's going to say glory hole by accident. And I love it. Way back in the day I did a demo for Sirius xm. I was trying to get barstool on to serious before we ever had serious. And they're like, you need to make us like a demo, like an hour long episode of Love Sports.
John Feidelberg
What? It would be like talk.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. And I was like, but it's, you know, it's not gonna be sports, it's gonna be barstool. And that night or like that, that week, Jerry Jones said glory hole by accident. And I was like, this is perfect. He, so the first one was many years ago and he was like, you know, it's, he goes like back in the day he, he's saying, he's saying, let me just get it. Because the first one's really the funniest because he goes like, I want me some glory hole.
John Feidelberg
Well, he is the kind of guy.
Jackie
Trying, Sorry, no, no, he's just the.
John Feidelberg
Type of pervert who, he has to.
Kevin Clancy
Know what a glory hole is.
Jackie
Reminder.
John Feidelberg
I've been here when it was glory hole days. I've been here when it wasn't. And so having said that, I want.
Kevin Clancy
Me some glory hole. So that was the first time that happened. I was like, so he's clearly saying like glory days, right?
Jackie
Like I want me some glory.
Kevin Clancy
And then he did it again and again and then again like this past week he said that the super bowl is the absolute glory hole. He said, you know, it made me get back to work because I want to work the glory hole now. Somebody. I didn't, I didn't look into this, but right before we started recording, I posted a One Minute man on it and somebody left a comment saying he's a Texas oil man. And glory hole is a term for when you like find like a, a thing of oil. Maybe true, maybe not.
Jackie
That's probably true.
Kevin Clancy
But you also have to understand that a glory hole means a hole in a bathroom stall that you get your dick sucked. So you can't run around saying glory hole without at least throwing out the caveat. Oh, and by the way, I mean the oil royal glory, not the, I.
Jackie
Mean original intended, like gay.
Dave Portnoy
Like PR agents are like, hey, we need like a little bit more clips, social clips, like going around like you.
Kevin Clancy
Have to think it's, you know, maybe, maybe there's something, I don't know. But an old man running around going, I want some glory hole. We got to get back to the glory.
John Feidelberg
Maybe he just means like a hole where you get your dick sucked in.
Jackie
I get Emmett Smith used to be install three.
Kevin Clancy
That would be the best. No, I, I, I know exactly what you're talking about. I think glory holes are awesome. They're, they're comparable to a Super Bowl. Getting your dick sucked through a bathroom stall anonymously is like the Super Bowl. It's awesome. Have you ever done it?
John Feidelberg
Cuz there were, what were the old videos of him with like, like he was, he was getting his dick sucked or he was like putting girls heads down or something like that.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, he was, he was, he was partying.
Jackie
He's had plenty.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know if it was like literally getting his dick sucked, but he was definitely.
Jackie
He's got some wild pictures where. He's got the pictures of. Yes. He's got pictures with hookers. He's got pictures with a Super bowl trophy. He's got pictures standing on the front steps not letting black students into this, his school.
John Feidelberg
What?
Jackie
You never seen that picture? Jerry Jones.
John Feidelberg
Oh, that's. Oh yeah. As a little, as a young boy.
Jackie
Young boy. He was on the steps like blocking the. God, that was not the Alabama three. It's the, the Huntsville, Birmingham. Birmingham three. Maybe something like that. Like the first three, like young black girls to go to school, like in the integrated school.
Dave Portnoy
Another in Hamilton.
Jackie
Jerry. Jerry Jones on the front steps, like absolutely the not.
John Feidelberg
Yeah. It must be so nice for the people who are like outside of Jeffrey Epstein's orbit, who were also pedophiles but just like sourced for themselves.
Jackie
Like they, they, they never picked up that call.
John Feidelberg
They're so, they're just like, oh, I got, I can get my own.
Jackie
Yeah, no, I got a guy. Dude, I like my guy stuff.
Kevin Clancy
There's Florida, there's Texas, there's California.
John Feidelberg
You know, he's his own broker for children. Or he is the broker.
Kevin Clancy
He was on that, that show Landman.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And people went nuts for it because it actually was a pretty decent scene because you, I, you could tell he was not acting. He was just talking about like, he was talking about trying to make, if I remember correctly, it's trying to make your kids like take over the family business. And he was like, you do it because you think this is going to be great, that like you're going to like spend all this time with your kids and then you realize that like you're just forcing your life upon your children. I was like, I think this is what the happened to Jerry Jones. I think he's just talking to Billy Bob Thornton and the cameras have to be rolling.
Dave Portnoy
The one with a really weird scene.
Kevin Clancy
Scene with the daughter.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
That's a show that I can't. I mean there are people who think that that is like amazing cinema. And I'm like, his 17 year old daughter is running around in like lingerie talking about her boyfriend. Every scene. It's crazy. And he also chops off his own pinky. What?
John Feidelberg
On Landman?
Kevin Clancy
Yes.
John Feidelberg
Really?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. There's like. No, I mean, if I went into it being like this is Like a glory hole oil man, silly Billy Bob Thornton, over the top sort of thing, maybe. But people were like, this is amazing. And, like, in the first couple scenes, he's. His daughter is telling him, we have a rule with my boyfriend. Like, as long as he doesn't come in me, he can come anywhere he wants. And it's like, I don't think any daughter would say that to anybody, let alone, like, a Southern Bell Texas girl talking to her father. And then the next scene, she's running around her underwear being like, my boyfriend won't me. Like, what do I do? And he's like, oh, my daughter.
Jackie
Like, this is so crazy.
Kevin Clancy
I'm like, this would never happen. And then. Then there's this point where he. There's an oil rig explosion, and he goes to the hospital and his hand's all up, and the doctor's like, we need to operate on that. And he's like. He's like, take the pinky off. And the doctor's like, we need to, like, operate on it. He goes, take it off or I'm taking it off? And the doctor's like, we need to prep you. And he just grabs a knife and he chops his pinky up from the doctor. And I was like, all right, this is just.
Jackie
Well, that's.
Kevin Clancy
But people.
Jackie
What's his name Game? Isn't that what.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I guess there's some truth to these things, but it was particular.
Jackie
I don't know if Ronnie, like, cut it off himself, but he was like, just take it off.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah.
Jackie
The football player.
Kevin Clancy
Rather than, like, miss the game. But it's that kind of show. Like, I think it's silly and I couldn't put up with it, but I just can't believe the people who are, like, amazing.
John Feidelberg
Why couldn't Ronnie launches. Play football with a broken hand.
Kevin Clancy
Seems like harder to play, like, to chop.
Jackie
I think he was nerves related. I think he wasn't gonna be able to really use it anyway. Like, they could reattach it, but, like.
John Feidelberg
So why not just tape it to another finger or something?
Kevin Clancy
Let it. It's pretty drastic to chop it off.
John Feidelberg
No. So dramatic.
Jackie
I've heard that from. I don't know. You know, it's not. I have friends that it's happened to, but I've just heard that, that, like, sometimes if a finger loses its nerve endings and you can't have control over anymore, you just always whack it and stuff. And it's easier to just have it taken off.
Kevin Clancy
Huh.
John Feidelberg
I just would feel Like a freak.
Kevin Clancy
I would rather have a dead pinky then.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, just give me a dead finger.
Jackie
No one's asking about it, but what about going to. Getting in your pocket? You have no control over your pinky.
Kevin Clancy
And it's just like jamming.
Jackie
You're always, like, trying to, like, wedge your four fingers in there.
Kevin Clancy
I'll tape it.
John Feidelberg
Figure it out, dude. I'd press on nails for, like, a yak thing for a week or something like that and something like that. I don't know. But I. I didn't realize how hard it is to put, like, your hands in your pocket with the nails.
Jackie
Oh, I can't.
Kevin Clancy
They were long. They were like, over your finger.
John Feidelberg
They were. They were, like, decently sized size, a couple inches. But anytime they would slide in, like, they get caught and they, like, pull your nails. It was. I didn't realize how painful it is.
Dave Portnoy
I don't really understand how other girls like. I don't. Do I rip a nail off every single time. Every single time.
Jackie
I have.
Kevin Clancy
Like, those are real. Yeah.
John Feidelberg
It's tough. Or even. I mean, picking up credit cards also was like, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Any of that.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, yeah. Whipping my ass. But. But the click is nice.
Dave Portnoy
How long did you have on for?
John Feidelberg
I think a week or five days.
Kevin Clancy
Shay. When Shay puts them on, she just sits there.
Dave Portnoy
That's. I feel so sassy. I feel like I text, like, flirty or.
John Feidelberg
When did that become a prerequisite for tik Tok videos? When, like, someone will show, like, their toner and like that.
Kevin Clancy
Asmr.
John Feidelberg
I mean, everybody does it.
Kevin Clancy
Yep.
Jackie
It's weird.
John Feidelberg
And by everybody, I mean Brianna Chicken Fry and Jordan Woodruff. I feel like everybody does it.
Kevin Clancy
Those sounds.
John Feidelberg
And you think that Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, do you think she would have been depressed if she had Tik Tok more depressed or less depressed? Because we already know she was depressed.
Jackie
So I think she would be finding.
Kevin Clancy
Out her husband's gay a lot quicker. A lot of Tik Toks being like. So AV is.
Jackie
I saw the. The play. Oh, Mary.
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
Which is very funny.
Kevin Clancy
Magazines and plays over here.
Jackie
But it's about. It's about how great. It's a comedy, so it's very funny. But she's insane. He's very gay. And it's just.
John Feidelberg
He's gay in the play.
Jackie
Yeah. Oh, yeah. The whole.
John Feidelberg
I don't think he's gay.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know.
John Feidelberg
At this point, I think say about him being gay.
Jackie
Okay. So I did a little research after the play.
Kevin Clancy
He used to, like, Sleep with other guys. Right?
Jackie
It is. I believe the sentence was the statement was outside of his marriage to Mary Todd, which is a very strong argument. There is absolutely no evidence to support that. That he's a heterosexual. And it was. But like, also, like, back in the day, like, yeah, once I met my wife, I wasn't like, I don't know. You know what I mean?
John Feidelberg
Like, there's evidence to support he's a homosexual.
Jackie
There's a lot talk to me. So he lived with men, which wasn't a thing you did back then. Like, you didn't have roommates like you do now. He lived with men on, I think, three separate occasions.
John Feidelberg
But also slavery was a thing.
Kevin Clancy
He was anti his.
Jackie
Unconventional, original, but it was like, at least. But I. I think when you live with a man, you shared a bed. And so, like, it was. He definitely shared a bed with one guy for like 6 years.
John Feidelberg
Head to foot or.
Jackie
But the. The most damning thing I saw was that I believe it was his stepmother, not his mother. So. Or maybe it was his mother if he didn't have a stepmother. But I feel like I remember reading stepmother when he died in, like, her statement. She was like. Like, never was a big fan of women, and so he was either misogynistic or gay. Whatever she meant by that, please, God.
John Feidelberg
Let him be misogynist.
Kevin Clancy
Ryan Long has a funny skit. You ever see that?
Jackie
No.
Kevin Clancy
He did a skit of, like, being Lincoln. Like, finding out that everyone's talking about him being gay now, and he's like, dude, I'm not. I'm not.
Jackie
I wasn't. Why.
Kevin Clancy
Why did I say that I wasn't gay, dude.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, it's crazy because the autists came for everybody after autism blew up. They're like, he was Einstein was new to Newton. It's like, bro, you have.
Jackie
You.
John Feidelberg
You can't reference whether Newton was autistic. You have no idea. It's hundreds of years ago.
Kevin Clancy
Smart.
John Feidelberg
And now the gays are trying to claim up people. They're trying to go through history.
Kevin Clancy
Herman came out as posthumously gay. First person ever do that. I know.
Jackie
I didn't know people. Herman's dead.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
John Feidelberg
What was he jerking off in porno to pornos in movie theaters?
Kevin Clancy
I thought he was a pervert. I didn't know. He's great.
Jackie
Yeah, well, that's a pretty good cover.
Kevin Clancy
But coming out as gay.
Jackie
Actually, if you're gay in the 90s, the move. And maybe it was the early jerk off, what happened. But, like, if there's A rumor you're gay? Just go in public and jerk off. Was I watching straight anal porn is right there.
John Feidelberg
Dude, you saw the come. I was moved to climax because of it.
Kevin Clancy
Dude, jerking up in a movie theater is crazy, period. Obviously.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And then if you are famous is insane. That is.
John Feidelberg
It must be the thrill of it or something.
Kevin Clancy
Gotta be, because it's like, dude, dude, how horny can you be that you need to do this in public?
Jackie
I almost jerked off in a movie theater. Not a movie theater, but like a. Like a. I got a porn store. I almost jerked off once.
John Feidelberg
What age are we talking about?
Jackie
I was probably 19. I was driving home from. I'd gone to see my friends at Rollins College, which is like outside Orlando. And I was driving back to Tallahassee. I was alone, I was hungover. I'd done drugs the night before. It's always, you know, you wake up a little in the morning after a drug night and you're like, boy is horny. So I was driving. It's like a four hour drive. And that stretch of highway in Florida for some reason has a lot of like, provocative billboards. Like, for sure there is a. There's a top. Like topless. It's not Waffle House, but it's a topless diner.
Kevin Clancy
Diner.
Jackie
And they're always advertising.
Kevin Clancy
Hey, that's actually pretty cool.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah. And there's always advertising for just like topless diner. Topless diner. And they have like. It's not real people, but like cartoons, like big titties and stuff like that. And on the billboard, on the billboard. And I was like, damn, that's a nice titty. And. And then as I kept driving, it was like, next exit. And like this went on for a long time. Like two hours of me being like, nice, tender.
John Feidelberg
And then I keep seeing billboards. Or it was just the one.
Jackie
No, no, continue. Like, they advertise a lot, lot, right? They are. They're not shy with advertising. And I finally, I see where the story's going. I'm driving and then it's like, they're like the biggest porn store in the world. And I'm like, I might beat off. And so I pulled over. Like it said on the advertisement. I had like, we have jerk off boost. And I was like, that's exactly what I need.
Kevin Clancy
Oh. And then I'll be honest, that makes it a little better.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I thought you were like, in the middle of the aisles.
Jackie
No, no, no, no, no. Like, I was gonna go into one of those.
Kevin Clancy
I thought you were like, I Was shopping and, like, had the urge.
Jackie
All right, but that's.
John Feidelberg
Bro, you're driving around in a jerk off booth.
Kevin Clancy
This is deeply, deeply perverted. But better than what I was envisioning.
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
And then I got in the store and I was like, I can't.
Kevin Clancy
Can't do this.
Jackie
So I just bought a Belladonna DVD, drove home at 140 miles an hour.
Kevin Clancy
Watch her put a baseball bat in her ass and finish the job.
John Feidelberg
Then it's because you, like, make eye contact with the janitor.
Jackie
Yeah. I can't put you through this.
Kevin Clancy
You can't be in. In a glory hole like that.
Dave Portnoy
I feel like having gone to us. Like, you know how, like, in TV shows now, like, until you see the dead body, you don't. Like, you can't really trust.
Jackie
Yes.
Dave Portnoy
I feel like at usc, like, everyone's kind of a little gay until I see them a guy, I don't believe that they're gay. Like, so now I kind of have this, like, whole thing. Like, well, wait, I don't what you're saying.
Kevin Clancy
Everybody's a little bit gay. I almost feel like until I see you a girl, you're. You're gay.
Dave Portnoy
Until I see one or the other.
Jackie
Like.
Dave Portnoy
Like, I don't believe that you're actually gay. Like, you. You have a gay personality. Yes. Until I actually see you a guy, I don't believe that you're gay.
John Feidelberg
It's like a doubt in Thomas, like, how he wanted to put the fingers in the wounds. Like, you want to see the guy put the penis in the butthole.
Kevin Clancy
But also, how many people are you going to watch a girl? How many people are you watching?
Dave Portnoy
Well, no, because it's okay. Not actually, but, like, until I hear, everyone could be like, too.
Jackie
Too much gay stolen valor about it. Be about it. Dude, those guys earn that.
Kevin Clancy
Those guys earn it.
Jackie
Okay.
Kevin Clancy
Speaking of titties, have you heard Sexy Red's masterpiece?
Jackie
No. Have you heard of this? No.
John Feidelberg
She talking about titties.
Kevin Clancy
You guys have not heard Bruno Mars and. And Sexy Red? I have not actually, bro, this song is unbelievable. I know you can't put it in the. In the. In the show, but you gotta. You gotta listen to the lyrics of this. This is. Bruno Mars is. Is getting out of debt. If he's in gambling debt, he's getting out of it because he's.
Jackie
I saw him. He tweeted, like, yeah, streaming. I'll. I'll get it.
Kevin Clancy
He's the first artist ever to pass 150 million monthly listeners.
Jackie
This.
Kevin Clancy
The song is Called fat, juicy and wet. It is Bruno Mars and Sexy Red. She goes titties on your mouth, titties on your. On your chin, Titties on titties with my big titty friend.
Jackie
Her rubbing her tits on another girl. I mean it's.
Kevin Clancy
It's just. It's a masterpiece. It's.
John Feidelberg
It's writers.
Kevin Clancy
I. I literally. This could not have taken like more than.
John Feidelberg
And who is it? Is it like a Jewish guy in the studio? Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Cuz like Sexy Red. I would think that she is this person but like at this point she probably has writers and like a whole. It's like, here you go. Just.
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
She says she's a coochie. She says a coochie. Coochie autograph or something. It's not believable. What were you saying?
John Feidelberg
Or just. I just saw people talking about Bruno Mars and I didn't realize they were talking about this song.
Kevin Clancy
Well, he's got that one and then he had that one apt which is like to start the year. He's. He has like three like number one hits.
Jackie
He's got that one with Gaga. Yeah. It's like I have very different vibes. I haven't heard that song. I think it's like the number one stream song of 2024 4.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, it was.
Jackie
It wasn't. It was.
Kevin Clancy
He has like three number ones.
Jackie
What was that?
Dave Portnoy
Die with a smile.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it. Have you heard it? Yeah, it's good.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, it's real good.
Jackie
I saw this. I remember hearing about it and then just never hearing it. And I saw yesterday like it's by far number one stream.
John Feidelberg
I thought Leave the door open was nice.
Kevin Clancy
Which one's that?
John Feidelberg
You gotta leave. It's like his like wedding. He has. That's what they were talking about, the discourse. He has like five wedding songs.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, he's five.
John Feidelberg
Like, like he's like a genius when it comes to like everybody will play these songs for all of time.
Kevin Clancy
The.
Jackie
I really actually, I. I rarely listen to albums. I have like three albums I listen to and this one's not in that three mix, but it's kind of on like four or five. Is I Silk Sonic is amazing. Absolutely outrageous.
Kevin Clancy
I think that was him trying to do a little more. Like. I don't just make like these bops though.
Jackie
I'm trying to make like real music, but like those. I think it's only like eight songs or something like that. That's albums. I mean, no skips.
John Feidelberg
You think like that's like Ed Sheeran almost Making.
Jackie
I meant to talk to you about this.
John Feidelberg
What.
Jackie
What is. I love Ed Sheeran. So what is. What is. What are you gonna do?
John Feidelberg
Oh, I gotta play the song. Yeah, I gotta play the song.
Jackie
You said you're gonna put my notice, right? I'm a big edge hearing guy.
Kevin Clancy
Wait, what's going on with Ed Sheeran? Explain.
John Feidelberg
I. I have like an Ed Sheeran song, like, almost styled in the. Like kind of an Ed Sheeran styled song. And it's gonna basically, like, he's gonna have to rethink everything.
Jackie
I'm so sorry. He's like, it's. It's so good.
Kevin Clancy
Are you in contact? Like a. No, no.
John Feidelberg
Like, I'm not in contact with. But it's. It's. It's recorded. It's in the mastering stage. And it's just like he's going to have to.
Kevin Clancy
It's.
Jackie
He's going to have to step his game up.
Kevin Clancy
Are you singing?
John Feidelberg
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, like, Like, I feel like you found your singing voice after, like punk. I don't know. You started.
John Feidelberg
I mean, I've always. I was in the. I was in the church choir at six years or, you know, sixth grade played. But yeah, I'll play it for you after this.
Jackie
Yeah. And speedrunner. I heard you mention that on the show. That, that's. Is that his genre or.
John Feidelberg
No, just in general. Like speedrunner song. Like, just try to make a song as fast as possible.
Kevin Clancy
I feel like Bruno Mars executive, right, did that spot a wheel and was like, okay, let's go.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, I need to be doing like that.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Yo. I mean, this. This is the. The quintessential Tick Tock song. Like, I don't need the verse of. Of sexy Red screaming about her tits, but the little. A little bass line with a little hook of Bruno Mars, you know, crooning like that is like. You listen that for 15 seconds on tick Tock.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And the rest of the song sucks. Same thing with his other. The other hit he had. I was like, do you. Do you want me? Like, I want you in that song.
Dave Portnoy
Like, oh, that's.
John Feidelberg
That's really all it is these days too. You need a good 15 seconds of a song. Because I'll hear a song on my Discover Weekly and I'll. I won't have heard any of the rest of the song, but then I'll hear like, get it, get it. How I live it down. And it's like, I didn't even know this was part of a real song.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I thought it was just Like a sound for your video. Yeah, same thing with Jello with the bed in the corner. Like, whoa. It's like, that's. That's the only part of the song. Anybody.
John Feidelberg
Like, it's all you need. It really is incredible.
Kevin Clancy
It's like, that's. That to bring this all back. It's like, that's why music is starting to suck, because people see that and they're like, that's what succeeds. I'm going to do that. And it's like, there used to be people being like, well, I'm gonna make a song that's better than that and different than that and that'll succeed over here. But it's like, oh, that's what works. So we're all just. Everyone's just like, shorter songs becoming the same thing.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
All rap sounds the same. All influencers are the same. All. Everyone's talking the same because there's no, like, different pockets. Because one overlord algorithm.
John Feidelberg
I was. I was watching a clip, and you know how on. You could see people who. You follow on Instagram now, what clips they liked or something like that. So it was like a clip that John Mayer had liked, and it was this songwriter talking about how if you wrote a song right and did it the exact right way, you used to have, like, an 80% success rate that, like, if the label liked it, if you liked it, if the artist liked it, you knew it would be a hit. It might take a while, but he said, now I have to work, like, put out three times as many songs for, like, 10% of the success, because a hundred thousand songs come out every single day. Literally, a hundred thousand songs come out every day. And. And, like, it's completely dictated by, like. Like, who can push the song and what's popping on, like, an algorithm, as opposed to, like, oh, this is a hit that was manufactured to be a hit.
Kevin Clancy
See, I used to think it was the opposite. Like, there's less barriers of entry. You don't need a label, you don't need the radio station. Now you put a song out, and if people like it, like, it goes to the top. Like, it's almost like a meritocracy. But now it's become like, it's like.
John Feidelberg
Now if, like, I show speed puts out a song, or, like, if Charlie D'Amelio puts out a song, like, that's gonna pop off because they have a machine put behind them. But it's not the same machine as, like. Like, the record labels used to be where they could just get it onto the radio, get it on to some like placements.
Kevin Clancy
There needs to be like a two different charts or something. You know what I mean? It's like you got a number one hit like on the Internet. Songwriters and hit makers have like the real number one hit.
Jackie
I mean they have those charts. It's just, it's their personal bank accounts. Yeah. Like congratulations, you got a hit song on the Internet.
Kevin Clancy
Here's 10, here's your money.
Jackie
You have actual fans with the machines, right? Stadium, right. Yeah.
John Feidelberg
It's a whole different vibe.
Jackie
The Joe Schmo show. You've met Joe on the show. You've met Ben on the show. It is a reimagined reality comedy series and it is out now on tbs. Hosted by five time Emmy award nominee Kat Dealey. The show within a show format takes aim at the absurdity of reality TV by making an everyday guy named Ben believe he's competing for a chance to win $100,000 on a reality show. Unbeknownst to him, he thinks not a regular reality show. Big mistake. He is surrounded by a cast of highly skilled improv actors and comedians. Improv, except for Ben. Everyone. I'm sorry. Everyone except for Ben. Has come together to pull off the most audacious ruse in television history. The social experiment is about embracing the hilarity of the gameplay's over the top physical humor and action packed moments that take pranks to a new height. The Joe Schmo show is out now. It is on tbs. Go watch it.
Kevin Clancy
Before we let you go, the. The big viral hypothetical of the week, you. You get. There's a hundred grapes. You seen this one?
John Feidelberg
No.
Kevin Clancy
Poison grape. Got a hundred grapes. You get $10,000 per grape eaten, but one of them is poisoned and you die. How many grapes are you eating?
Jackie
100.
John Feidelberg
Guaranteeing death.
Jackie
No. Damn it. No. Come on, where does it. The. No. The. No. I need close to 100.
Kevin Clancy
Well, I mean, I think you could, you might, you might, you might.
John Feidelberg
I don't touch the grape. I just put a gun in my mouth. Take it as my chance.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, it's what you sign up for ahead of time. You know what I mean? Obviously. Because if you eat a poison one on your second one, you're dead. But it's like if you got to 98 and you.
Jackie
How much money do you got?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, 10,000 a grape.
Jackie
That's not much.
John Feidelberg
Like, I don't know, rich boy.
Jackie
Well, it's not what. What we're talking about. The other option is dying. Dude, it's. I'm not saying $10,000 is nothing. I'm saying I don't want to die the next 60 years of my life, I'll probably make more than $10,000. But.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, but you know, if I, If I. If you said you have a 10, 10, 10 chance of, of something happening, like, that's fine.
Jackie
A pretty high chance.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know, it's also 90 that it's not. You might walk away with 100 grand.
John Feidelberg
I'm eating 10 grapes.
Kevin Clancy
That's a lot. I think a lot of people have landed on 10.
Jackie
I don't think I need any.
Kevin Clancy
Imagine if it was just like 100.
Jackie
Is a pretty high chance.
Kevin Clancy
No, no, it's.
Jackie
Oh, it's 1%.
Kevin Clancy
It's 1%.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah, the even 1%. Like, that's not. So you have 99 infinitesimal chance. I had 1%.
Dave Portnoy
This is, I've said this like, I.
Kevin Clancy
But if you eat 10, it's that 10.
Jackie
Yeah, right, right.
Dave Portnoy
But like, all statistics has never made sense to me because I understand that there's like, like you have like a 1% chance, but you either also.
Kevin Clancy
50. 50.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, it's 50. 50. Everything is 50, 50.
Kevin Clancy
The first one you pay. Yeah, yeah.
Dave Portnoy
It's all. Oh, my God, it bothers me so much.
Jackie
Yeah, no, that's a great point. I'm definitely eating zero.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, it's kind of like.
Jackie
Okay, with what in the perspective what we're talking about, $10,000 is literally no money.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Feidelberg
Maybe a hundred thousand.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. If it's 100,000 a grape.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
10 grapes.
Jackie
So I don't even know if I'd eat that 100 grand.
John Feidelberg
A million. Great.
Jackie
Dude, we used to do hypothetical.
John Feidelberg
How?
Kevin Clancy
How?
Jackie
Bro, we used to do hypotheticals where like 10 of the seats in a stadium would disappear. Or you got a billion dollars. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Now we're doing a ten thousand dollar bet. Okay, so let's do that. You got a million dollars of. Great.
Jackie
Oh, yeah. A couple breaks, games. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Everybody's got their number. Man, that would suck so much dick, though. If there was a hundred on the table, you know, a third one and you're dead. Boy, do I know how to mush it. Jesus Christ.
Jackie
The. I know that was one thing. Before we go, I also going back to your. You had asked about a depression thing because one of the notes I'd make because I was watching paradise on Hulu.
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
And I still have ads on my Hulu and I got a lot of. Have better help, bro.
John Feidelberg
You better eat some grapes, bro.
Jackie
I like commercial Breaks I like, because I hone. I lock in on, like, when I'm watching something, I lock in, and then at a break, I look at my phone a little bit, and I. I don't like watching TV or movies, like, on my phone. I don't. I just get a much different level of enjoyment out of them and. But I do like to check my phone occasionally. So I got the commercials on, but they have a lot of. Basically podcast ad revenue reads just as commercials on Hulu. And there's a lot of mental health stuff like that. And I was wondering, like, do you think therapists are kind of like, all right, enough of the advertising. I don't need. You know, I used to.
Kevin Clancy
Everybody.
Jackie
I used to have, like, people coming in, being like, my wife's got cancer, my kids gay. Like, all kinds of. And now it's just like.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know.
Jackie
I think I saw a bunch of commercials, and I think I'm depressed.
Kevin Clancy
I know what you mean.
Jackie
But.
Kevin Clancy
But I think they are. Those are the best.
Jackie
You think so? You. I. I think I'm like. I'd be sitting there like, dude, shut the up. This is a regular problem. Go back outside.
Kevin Clancy
I saw a chick put up a video, was like, here's how much I make as an online therapist. And she was just dancing, and it was like, December, 75 grand. January, 80 grand. And just kept going up to the point she's making, like, 150 grand.
John Feidelberg
Sure. She is. That only fans.
Kevin Clancy
That's what it felt like, really. Her. Her caption was like. Like, this is the power of marketing. And I was like, you are celebrating your grift.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Like, she was like, this is. She even said it like, this is me as an online therapist. I was like, you're almost degrading your own. At least that's the way I. I received it. You know what I mean?
Jackie
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
What do therapists have degrees in? Usually psychology.
Kevin Clancy
Psychology.
Jackie
Is it psychology therapist? Her degree. She has her master's in sociology.
John Feidelberg
Psychology Masters, at least. Sounds legit. But I feel like a lot of people who are therapists don't even need the background in, like, any of it. Psychology, mental health.
Jackie
As things have grown. I think that is an issue.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
That a lot of people.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Like, real therapists are, like, the real deal, you know?
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Come up with, like, breakthroughs and, like, human psychology. But, you know, some of these people that are just like.
Jackie
Like anything. Right. Like, as the market continues to grow, the product gets diluted. And.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I. I would almost like, I think, like, 90 of therapy is. Is spilling your guts and just getting it off your chest. I would propose it as like, I'm a great guy to vent to.
Jackie
Yeah. I'm not a doctor.
Kevin Clancy
You can say it's like, yeah, this sucks. 100 bucks. Let's go 100 an hour.
Jackie
Whatever.
John Feidelberg
That's all it is.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
And last thing on double check the. It is the last thing you write notes for shows. Yeah.
John Feidelberg
Good for you.
Jackie
Right? Okay, so in this show we're talking about if. If you haven't watched it and you want to watch, don't listen to this.
Kevin Clancy
Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler, spoilers.
Jackie
There's in. There's an end of world event, right?
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
And so. But there's still like. Yeah, yeah. There is still a community and there's still, like, people go to school. Everything's the normal. The world's normal except for the fact that the world ended. What do they teach in school? Like, are they teaching about countries and like, like, literally, this doesn't matter. It's all gone. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, it doesn't matter. And also I would be like, I think this is a great chance to, like, re. Restart.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Like, you know, when we're always like, they should have taught a course on, like, mortgages and taxes. And like, we'll do that now. Because you're never gonna see or hear. You know, none of this really applies. Not even. It's not because, like, old doesn't matter anymore, but it still, like, applies in a general sense.
Jackie
Exactly.
Kevin Clancy
It does not apply.
Jackie
That's what I'm saying. In this world, like, the things that happened in the past, the world we currently live in, they do affect the way the world works.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
But I guess in that world, it doesn't.
Kevin Clancy
The world's gone about, like ancient history. You know what I mean? Like, that just is not applicable anymore. But still there's some value in it.
Jackie
Yeah, there's still some stuff we're like, this is interesting.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
But like, really, you don't need to know about. Again, like, most people these days. Most people in most days, like, you don't know geography and like, you don't really know what other countries ward outside of the big ones.
Kevin Clancy
That definitely doesn't matter anymore. Geography in the situation.
Jackie
Those, those. If you're like, oh, you know, the Irish and the English hate each other because of, like, you don't have to do any of.
Kevin Clancy
There's no Irish. You know what you should do is just make Hitler black. Black woman.
Jackie
So this black chick was going wild.
John Feidelberg
In Germany in the 40s, another one getting power. But I think that it really just goes over to the. The stem tab on tick tock. Like, that's the important.
Jackie
Yeah.
John Feidelberg
Like the science, technology, engineering, math, like, that's the stuff you need to like know, teach to other people so they can repopulate and build like new things. Like, if you want to engineer something new, if you want to build back better, it doesn't matter about geography. Punctuation definitely doesn't matter. History, barely. Like, you know what you need?
Jackie
English, the art, arts. I've become a big the arts guy. I think the arts make the world go around.
Kevin Clancy
Obviously engineering, but you could make the argument it's the like total opposite. You know what I mean?
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Jackie
No one hundreds go around. But like, the only reason you. Most people get up every day, like, what. What if you. At the end of the day, you're like, what made me happy today? It's usually something like a TV show you watched, a movie, you watched just whole song you heard. Like.
John Feidelberg
But if everybody's trying to rebuild the town and you're like, I'm about to go paint, they're gonna hate you.
Jackie
Trust me. No, we're gonna need this.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know. I. I think people would be like, he's like, he's all we got.
Jackie
Let's go watch.
Kevin Clancy
Let's go look at his paintings.
Jackie
I'm not funny.
Kevin Clancy
I'm not talented. Let's go look at this guy.
Jackie
That guy becomes king. You got.
Kevin Clancy
You got a couple jokes in.
Jackie
In the Apocalypse.
John Feidelberg
Like.
Kevin Clancy
So you're telling me like all the comedians are dead?
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I'm the funniest guy in the world.
Jackie
I'm just steal some interior.
Kevin Clancy
That'd be great. People's bits and nobody can find it anymore.
Jackie
It's all. Also though, he's like, speaking of bits, like, one of my favorite Nate Bargazi bits is it kind of applies to this when he's like, if I got to go back in time, I'd be in a worse position than I am now, is what Bargazzi says. And he's like, I.
Kevin Clancy
You have the knowledge, but not the ability.
Jackie
He's like, he's like, he's like, I'd see some guy on a phone, but you know, one day they're gonna put those in your pocket. It's like how they do that. Wish I didn't say.
John Feidelberg
Crazy.
Jackie
That's how. If the world ended, they'd be like, so what can you do? I'm like, I. I mean, there's got.
Kevin Clancy
To be Something that you could do.
John Feidelberg
You can rank snacks for you.
Jackie
I'll be in town square and I'll just.
Kevin Clancy
Now, you know what you could do? You know, you could do kinda like you could. You could. You could put them on the penicillin.
Jackie
On the what?
Kevin Clancy
Onto penicillin. Like that.
Jackie
Wow.
Kevin Clancy
Right? It was. Was it like it was mold that got left out?
Jackie
Yeah, I mean, I know that much. I don't think that's what penicillin is.
Kevin Clancy
But it kind of is. It really was like.
Jackie
But then he did like.
Kevin Clancy
Yes, but I mean, you could go find some scientists and be like, yo, like, look into that mold to cure.
Jackie
But the scientist is going to know about that already.
Kevin Clancy
Maybe not.
Dave Portnoy
No.
Kevin Clancy
There was a time a bunch of scientists didn't know. I'm sorry, you know what I'm saying?
Jackie
I only mentioned that. I see what you're saying. I only mentioned that. And I was speaking about it as like in the. The paradise world. Yes. Back in time.
Kevin Clancy
Yes, yes.
John Feidelberg
But with penicillin, though, they found it on one cantaloupe. Like it was mold that they used on one cantaloupe and turned it into like this massive drug company breakthrough, this medical breakthrough. And they haven't been able to find that mold on any other cantaloupe.
Kevin Clancy
Really.
John Feidelberg
It was just one. It just had. It occurred one time that makes my.
Kevin Clancy
Antennas go, give me the tin foil.
Jackie
But what's the argument? My. My question with. With conspiracy is always like, but why?
Kevin Clancy
Like, in this case, it would be a good thing. Like, it's like, penicillin helps save people, but.
Jackie
But like, like, like the, you know, the big one now. And I'm. I'm always. Oddly enough, I'm always very defensive of the Chief's dynasty. D. I'm rooting for you, by the way. Thank you.
John Feidelberg
Thank you.
Jackie
But I am defensive of it because of how, like, just. I remember how it was with the Pats. Like, I was there, I was in the trenches. I remember everyone saying it didn't count, it wasn't real, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, I don't get the Patrick Mahone. Like, what. I don't get why they would do it.
Kevin Clancy
Do what?
Jackie
Like why there would be this massive conspiracy that the Chiefs have to win.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, yeah.
Jackie
Because Also you need 30 or 29 owners who agreed to sign off on it.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
Like there's. It doesn't make any sense.
Kevin Clancy
Taylor Swift.
Jackie
Yes, of course. It's all. She's rigged for the Chiefs. Why would it be rigged for the Jeeves?
Kevin Clancy
I'm so like why would they rig.
Jackie
It for a team in Kansas City?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, it makes no sense.
Jackie
There's most conspiracy theories. I think like if you ask like three questions, it's like, yeah, you're right.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. I'm so like the opposite of the world on my homes. I, I love my homes, man.
Jackie
I like, I don't, I don't love him.
Kevin Clancy
He's not my, my guy. But I'm like, I think he's great. I think he's a good dude. Like I, I'm. I like Britney Mahomes now.
Jackie
Yeah, dude. Did you see Greer street the other night? Great. It was before the game and I'm gonna pull it up.
Kevin Clancy
Brittany moments was annoying as no doubt. But like over the course of time it's like she's a pretty like down ass wife who just like raises kids and like reps him and the family.
John Feidelberg
Well, like I also hit the jackpot. Like yeah, yeah, she's annoying. She had. Hasn't known like heartbreak. You know what I mean? She like got with him 500 million.
Kevin Clancy
Dollar guy when he was 15. Yeah.
John Feidelberg
Yeah. Now it's like him.
Kevin Clancy
I think there, there are way worse like wags and out there that are.
Jackie
1.5 million views on this tweet. Patrick Mahomes, whose brother is a sexual assaulter, father is a serial drunk driver and wife is mildly off putting, gets the ball back with Chiefs up 7 3.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I'm not room for you, bro. I can't do it. I can't do it because I need anything that can, you know, piss off Patriots fans. Discredit Brady in a little bit.
Jackie
That doesn't piss me off either though. Like not you but other like it.
Kevin Clancy
Is even mentioning there, there are Patriots fans who will not acknowledge that he is like chasing him down like that. He's like really?
John Feidelberg
He's on his ass.
Jackie
Yeah, he's on his ass.
Kevin Clancy
Brady beat him before.
John Feidelberg
If he gets to four before he's 30.
Jackie
30.
Kevin Clancy
That's crazy. And you have a three peat something he never did. That's also a nice little check.
Jackie
It's a nice little thing but I, I think I'm. I'm oak more okay with it because you're never gonna get me. You can think whatever the you want. I don't care who you think the best quarterback is, but I think it's Tom Brady.
Kevin Clancy
Right, right, right. But you know, you're, you're the, you're the exception to the rule. I. I don't know what's more, what's more impressive or what's more crazy. The fact that Patrick Mahomes. That Tom Brady did what he did and what he accomplished should be something like, we don't see that for another hundred years, you know?
Jackie
Right.
Kevin Clancy
And. And somebody else basically overlaps with him. What's more crazy? That. Or the fact that what Patrick Mahomes has done is like, halfway there.
Jackie
That's. That. That's overlooked.
John Feidelberg
Not even halfway there.
Jackie
People trying to bring it in the conversation. I'm like. I'm like, you're just rushing it. He is great. He's awesome. You're rushing this conversation.
Kevin Clancy
It's not halfway. He did all this before 30. It's like he has to do that again after from 30 to 40.
Jackie
Right.
Kevin Clancy
He might not.
Jackie
Kelsey will be gone, and Reed will probably go like, it's going to be hard. I. Look, I'm not rooting for him, but if he. It happens, it happens. Great.
Kevin Clancy
What I think would be. Will be more interesting. And it's not. I don't even know if it's better or worse. But it's different that if he just does, like six and seven years. Brady had those weird gaps. You know what I mean?
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You could make that an argument for or against, like, he had the longevity. He was able to return. Well, he started cheating and using whatever. Alex grand. Whatever. But it's like, what's better is, you know, it's like, yeah, I crammed it all in. Or I. I was able to do it three different dynasties over the course of 20 years.
Jackie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
But if Patrick Mahomes plays, like 20 seasons like Brady does, I mean, that's good.
Jackie
It's also like. Like, it's weird that we're so surprised. And I am as well. Like, like, wow, it's happening so fast. Like, when did Montana retire? Like mid-90s, when you retire. Yeah.
John Feidelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Jackie
He was like, five years before Brady. Yeah, But. But he.
Kevin Clancy
Three, right.
Jackie
Montana. No, four.
Kevin Clancy
Four. Okay. Four is where you start to really hit that territory. But I'm trying to see what he. I guess there's always greatness and then. And then Bradshaw and the.
Jackie
Oh, wait, so no, he played. Yeah, he played till 94. So he was six years before Brady. Basically, every generation has a guy like this. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. But I don't know, when you go from four to, like, what, like seven and eight appear? Nine appearances, something that.
Jackie
10.
Kevin Clancy
That's the other thing, too, is the appearances. Like, in football, making a Super bowl.
Jackie
Is, you know, plus the giant spice Eagles. Yeah. So 10.
Kevin Clancy
10 appearances.
Jackie
He made it every other Year.
Kevin Clancy
And I'm sure Montana went to 4 and 1 4. That was always the argument. He never lost anything. But he also only went to four. Tom Brady went to two and a half more time Super Bowls than.
John Feidelberg
And then they did it with Steve Young right after. Like that. That's like if the Patriots had done it with like Brian Hoyer or like, you know, Mac Jones right after they drafted Mac Jones and he made a Super Bowl.
Jackie
Well, that, you know what they kind of did. They tried to do this early in Brady's era. Era or in Brady's reign. They were trying to like, Matt Castle had a good team. Matt Castle played well.
John Feidelberg
Yeah, yeah.
Jackie
Matt castle won like 11 and five.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Jackie
Brady went undefeated. It's like, it's a six win difference.
Kevin Clancy
It's a huge chunk of the season. It's like half the season better.
Jackie
You know, Tom Brady went 17, 0 or whatever with a team that he went 11, 5. That's a humongous difference.
Kevin Clancy
Right, you guys, Both you, man.
John Feidelberg
I mean, it's worse. I still feel like I'm an, like, imposter with the Super Bowl. Like, I don't feel like we're a dynasty or anything like that. We've won one Super Bowl.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, you should not feel like you're a dynasty.
John Feidelberg
That's what I mean.
Kevin Clancy
Well, usual.
John Feidelberg
Why am I getting a you then?
Kevin Clancy
You just won one.
John Feidelberg
One.
Jackie
I don't have enough. Maybe it's because, like, I, I, I've always had kind of a tie to Philly. Like, my aunt lived there when I was young, so I'd go a lot. And I always liked Philly. And then I never really had much experience with, like, the people of Philly until I started working here. And I like everyone from Philly, so I like, I don't.
Kevin Clancy
I. You're in the minority.
Jackie
I love not people here. Most people are like, I love Philly teams. I love Philly sports fans. I love Philly people. Like, I'm a big Philly guy.
John Feidelberg
It's not for me. Just root for us, for Smitty.
Jackie
Choose love.
Kevin Clancy

Release Date: January 30, 2025
Introduction
In this episode of KFC Radio, hosted by Kevin Clancy, John Feidelberg, and Jackie from Barstool Sports, the trio delves into a wide array of topics ranging from content creation and social media dynamics to sports conspiracies and personal anecdotes. The conversation is lively, unfiltered, and punctuated with humor, staying true to the show's essence of mimicking a quintessential bar conversation.
1. Perspectives and Content Creation
The episode opens with a discussion on the challenges of defining one's perspective as a content creator. John Feidelberg expresses his struggle with finding a definitive viewpoint, stating:
“I don’t know what I think about. I don’t know what my opinions on things are. You know what I mean?” [02:25]
Kevin Clancy resonates with this sentiment, emphasizing the pressure influencers face to project confidence and expertise:
“You just know everything, huh? Like, you have the answer for every single story that’s even remotely close to your field.” [03:08]
This segues into a broader conversation about the authenticity in content creation versus the performative aspects demanded by platforms and audiences.
2. Social Media and Influencer Culture
The hosts delve into the impact of algorithms on content visibility and the influencer landscape. Jackie shares her shift from traditional media to subscribing to magazines, highlighting a desire for more curated and less transient content:
“I’m done with the news, I’m done with newspapers. I’m done with the Internet... I’m getting subscriptions to magazines.” [03:56]
Kevin Clancy discusses his struggles with platforms like TikTok, reflecting on how algorithm-driven content often favors sensationalism over substance:
“I just can’t do that my way. I just started... I put five videos up in a day. The one about the Bill Burr thing got like 1200 views overnight.” [16:54]
John Feidelberg introduces the concept of an "empowered Internet," advocating for content that transcends depressive narratives and promotes positive engagement.
3. Health and Wellness Discussions
Health becomes a recurring theme as the hosts share their commitment to fitness and discuss related products. Jackie praises Huel, a complete nutrition brand, and BlueChew, an erection-enhancing tablet, integrating their promotions seamlessly into the conversation:

“It’s awesome... episode one is one of my favorite pilots of all time.” [56:13]
However, as the series progresses, Jackie expresses diminishing enthusiasm, highlighting the difficulty in maintaining recommendations without full commitment:
“I think I'm gonna leave. I'm just gonna say, I enjoy episode one so much...” [59:03]
The conversation shifts to music, where Kevin Clancy discusses the evolving nature of hit songs in the digital age, lamenting the dilution of musical quality due to algorithmic preferences:
“Everyone’s just like, shorter songs becoming the same thing... it's the algorithm.” [83:53]
John Feidelberg echoes this sentiment, noting the shift from label-driven hits to influencer-backed viral success.
5. Sports and Conspiracy Theories
Sports discourse takes center stage as the hosts delve into quarterback legacies and conspiracy theories surrounding team success. The conversation pivots to Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady, comparing their careers and pondering the authenticity of team dynasties:
“If Patrick Mahomes plays 20 seasons like Brady does, that’s good.” [100:11]
Jackie brings up Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, and multifaceted conspiracy theories about his influence and actions:
“Jerry Jones on the front steps, like absolutely the not... it's the Huntsville, Birmingham.” [67:19]
The discussion blends genuine sports analysis with humorous takes on the absurdity of certain conspiratorial beliefs.
6. Hypotheticals and Listener Interactions
Engaging the audience, the hosts introduce a hypothetical challenge:
“You get $10,000 per grape eaten, but one of them is poisoned and you die. How many grapes are you eating?” [56:13]
Each host offers their strategy, revealing their risk appetites and decision-making processes. The debate underscores the show's interactive nature, encouraging listeners to ponder unconventional and often humorous dilemmas.
7. Personal Anecdotes and Humor
Throughout the episode, personal stories and humorous exchanges keep the conversation lively. Jackie recounts an episode of attempting to watch Quiet Place Day One on a plane, ending in mutual disappointment with a comedic twist:
“I’m here laying in bed... but I need your help.” [52:29]
Kevin's recurring joke about Jerry Jones inadvertently saying "glory hole" adds a layer of inside humor familiar to regular listeners:
“He’s having a glow hole now.” [65:39]
These moments highlight the camaraderie among the hosts and their ability to blend humor with insightful discussions.
