For us, golf is simple. It's a chance to get out and have some fun with our friends. But inevitably, little things have a way of ruining it. The group ahead is taking forever. You can't find the fairway with a map and the bev cart is nowhere to be found. And the best way to make a bad day better is Fireball Whiskey. You get their nips, the little shooters. They are great. Makes bad day way, way, way better. Make sure to grab the new Fireball Birdie Shot Club. It's literally a golf club filled with Fireball Nip. Put it in your bag. It'll fit right in that side pocket. Drink Fireball Nips and have a great time on the golf course.

John Feitelberg
We are in suits.
Kevin Clancy
Men in suits.
John Feitelberg
This does not factor the color of the couch into my suit choice. It does. All right, if. If you're watching this tearing you down. If you're watching this, imagine I'm on a Green couch.
Kevin Clancy
Then you'd be great.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Jackie, can you actually just Photoshop this whole couch to be green for the entire green screen? The couch.
Kevin Clancy
This is like a 10 year old idea finally coming to fruition. John, when we first got in office was like, I'm gonna wear a suit once a week. Like minimum. I'm gonna be dressing you guys like we're used to working from home. Everybody in the beginning of Barstool, everybody worked from home. And then you guys, even once you had the Milton offense office, it was basically still working from home. Yeah, wear whatever you want. Half the time I didn't even have pants on, let alone dress up. And. And then the idea was, okay, once we got an office, we got a place to go. John's gonna show off the fits. And I. Did you even do it once?
John Feitelberg
I never did it.
Kevin Clancy
Not even once? Not even once.
John Feitelberg
It was basically part of a joke I had where I was just like, you guys are all. Or not you guys. The rest of the world is lucky I have a career where I don't wear suits because I can wear a suit.
Kevin Clancy
There is something about everybody, though. Like, it's a very. I don't know if it's a placebo effect or if there's something literal to it, but everybody is a schlub. And then they put on a suit and they, they bump up at least a couple points.
John Feitelberg
Well, it gives you your masculine shape. It gives you the V because the shoulder. Shoulders. And then when you button it brings you in so you look broader and stronger and more manly in a suit.
Kevin Clancy
Well, if you're wearing an Express suit, it's top notch. These are the modern tech suits that are from Express, which are not only affordable and machine washable and dryable, but just sharp.
John Feitelberg
I got very nice.
Kevin Clancy
I got the. I don't know, I'd call it like a steel gray maybe.
John Feitelberg
Steel gray, yeah, that's.
Kevin Clancy
I was between this and like a, like a, like a real, like light blue one. Like a, like a cocky light blue one. I was like, this one I'll probably get some more use out of. I'll. I'll be able to wear this every day. There was also a. Like a eggplant maybe. I'd say I, I almost did that.
John Feitelberg
I flirted with.
Kevin Clancy
So. But no, as always, ended up going fastball down the middle. But they are. I mean, from head to toe, I got the shirt, the tie, even down to the leather white sneakers.

John Feitelberg
You look very nice.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, you do.
Kevin Clancy
Thank you. I mean, it's more of a rarity, you know, like you said, people know when Feitelberg puts on a suit, like we see it often. You pull it off.
John Feitelberg
I don't think we see it that often.
Eddie
You have a lot of events.
Kevin Clancy
I feel like we do. You're always going to something, charity events. And I don't know, to me it's like, am I in court or did someone die? Yeah, that's always my, this, my.
Eddie
You know, you're like Broadway with your aunt.
Kevin Clancy
But what's so. I don't know what's better is you kind of have the reputation and people can like almost like close their eyes and picture it. See you in a suit, see you looking sharp. Know that that's like your thing. Great reputation to have. I lack that. But what I do have is when I put on a suit, people are like floor.
John Feitelberg
It's like superman popped into the cell phone box.
Kevin Clancy
It's like you so rarely see this that when I am in a suit, people are like, oh my God, you clean up. So, you know, I got like a card to play. Whereas you're just like your cards are always on the table.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Two different, two different sides. Either. Either way though, when you put on a suit, something happens where like maybe it's that thing, maybe it's just that, you know, it's, it's fancy, you know, you're looking good. But the confidence goes up.
John Feitelberg
It is. It's very nice to be wearing a suit. Barstool sports is not the place to put a suit on. I was trying to get ready in the bathroom, and it was the most disgusting experience of my life. It was. It was.
Kevin Clancy
Explain it how exactly what you said there were.
John Feitelberg
If you don't know, the barstool bathroom is one urinal, and then there are two stalls on either side of the urinal with no.
Kevin Clancy
With no room. It's like your. Your shoulders touch the walls of the stalls.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah. If you're at the urinal.
Kevin Clancy
And so it's wall, toilet, urinal, toilet, wall. It's all crammed together.
John Feitelberg
And I peed first before the show, and then I was fixing my tie and all that stuff, and there were two people in the stalls. Just. It was like they ate farts for breakfast. It. It was just dueling pianos. Just. And I, like, like, honest to God, longer than I've ever stayed in the bathroom for something like that. I was trying to get it together because I. I had my. I had to fix my collar and my tie and all that stuff. And eventually I said to walk out. It was insane. It was. It was a nightmare.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, at that point, it was like 11am People get to work around like, 10 here. It's like, you just got to work. You need to shit already. Just fucking shit at home before you come here. You people.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, I don't think this job kind of applies to, like, the shit on company time.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Like, you can. You can tailor your shitting to make sure you do it, you know, at home. I guess it's the weird coffee freaks who come in, drink your coffee, and you immediately have to. Isn't that so weird that the most popular drink in the world makes you immediately shit? And like 90% of the world just like. Yeah, we do. That's what we do. Do we drink coffee and shit immediately.
John Feitelberg
I am so happy. That is one of the addictions, because it's an addiction I've never had where it was just like. I notice it particularly when we're on the road, when, like, we stay in a hotel and you walk downstairs in the morning and there's like a cafe in the hotel, there's a good line for, like, 45 minutes waiting for you, waiting to get their coffee or. I understand this line. Before I started to feel good or like, feel like me or whatever they just say about coffee, I would murder someone in that line.
Kevin Clancy
And, like, even when you are on the road and you see People like their everyday schedule. It's like, you need another one already? Yeah, I gotta stop and get a coffee. Like we just fucking did. It's. It is, yeah. Steer clear of that one unless you want to sponsor us, in which case, Stella Blue Coffee. Go get it. I think I had one of the best weekends of my entire life.
John Feitelberg
Oh, good. Because I. I did something Thursday.
Kevin Clancy
Good or bad? Unbelievable.
John Feitelberg
I genuinely think it's. It'll be the coolest thing I ever do in my career. You go first.
Kevin Clancy
Wait, is this work related?
John Feitelberg
No, but. But, like, well, our.
Kevin Clancy
Our world is just.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Wednesday night, I get a text from my buddy Scotty. Scotty owns factory 380.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, right. I called you in the middle of this, but I never got the scoop. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Feitelberg
I'm so happy. I was going to tell you. And then you had to run.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
And I was like, all right, thank God. Because I didn't want to tell him, but I wanted to tell him kind of. Deal. So he text me Wednesday night and he's like, john sir. John sir, we're doing a commercial down to Factory. I'd love you to come down. And I was like, I'm there. I'll cancel my plans. I'll be there. So I had to cancel the movie I was going to go see in the middle of the day. Still haven't seen an aura. And we go and they're filming a commercial, and I thought, like, it was just gonna be like, full bar. You kind of wave at the camera as, like, Scotty goes around. And it ends up being. I brought PAS known with me. I happened to be with them. And so it's the three of us, and it's all done, like, Entourage style. We pull up in a yellow cab and the doors open, and then it like, follows us into the bar and it, like, shows the bar off and all that stuff. And why I think it's so cool is because the commercial is not for tv. The commercial is not for the Internet. The commercial is for in flight TVs on Aer Lingus for the next year. I was just, like, dying at the thought it was like some stoolie going on vacation to Ireland. Be like, is that fucking vital?
Kevin Clancy
And it's just for the bar, like, come to Factory.
John Feitelberg
I think it's like some, like, outreach program Aer Lingus is doing with Irish owned establishments in New York City.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
With, like, showing off. I think they had, like. I think they picked like four bars. Two of them are Scotty's, I believe and, and I don't know where it's going to play on it. I don't, I don't know where it happens. Yeah, but it's, it's a commercial for the in flight TVs on air Lingus and I was like fuck yes. Dude, that is so cool.
Kevin Clancy
I made it. You got a role in a movie? No, no, it's a commercial on television. No, no, it's on the Internet. No, not there either. That might be the lowest and last form of screen. Yeah, like I guess I would, I would put that above taxicab screen.
John Feitelberg
I would put it above it. Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Airplane. A little bit, A little more, A little more classy than that.
Harold Perrineau
You're probably.
Kevin Clancy
But you're getting the cab. You're getting more exposure. It's a, it's a more. It's quantity thing.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
But bubble player like this screen above it.
John Feitelberg
But that's go to factor three. It's a truly great bar. It's probably. It's not probably. It is my favorite bar in the city. But it was also such a cool commercial. Like Scotty. It was funny. Watch doing it with me, Pavs and Owen. Because we were watching Scotty like direct the whole thing.
Kevin Clancy
Right.
John Feitelberg
Owens, like we have to let him direct an out of order because like he's, he's in it. Like he's good and. But it was just a, it was a cool commercial. But I was like that's so awesome that this is just gonna be playing on Aer Lingus.
Kevin Clancy
What did you, did you just like wear dress casual?
John Feitelberg
Yeah, I just wore whatever I was wearing Thursday.
Kevin Clancy
They weren't doing no hair and makeup for the Aer Lingus.
John Feitelberg
No, no, no, no. I mean Jackie actually Jackie was gonna come and she. You were doing something and she's like, but text me if it's like a big production. And it was not. It's like it was one cameraman. But it was so sick. I don't know why I think it's so sick, but I'm like Air Lingus commercial is so fucking awesome.
Kevin Clancy
I can promise you this. Any stoolie that does go to Ireland within the next year, you will get a post a picture. People will take a picture of that and tag you in it every single goddamn time. I, I did a little hair and makeup the other day. I had my eyebrows drawn on.
John Feitelberg
Really?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. I had to do headshots for like a product that what I'm working on. So they needed high res photos of me and so I was getting all dolled up. And I was like, might as well get some eyebrows. And I can't tell. I think at this point I'm. I'm so used to not having eyebrows that I think eyebrows now look weird on me because.
John Feitelberg
Does it like, is it a permanent thing? Like.
Kevin Clancy
No, no, no. It's almost like mascara. What was it? What's that called?
Eddie
Like a eyebrow.
Kevin Clancy
Eyebrow, whatever.
John Feitelberg
But it's gone right now.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah. Now these are my regulars, but I did like a one minute man video first. Like, and I'm interested to see like, like, do I look weird to you there or normal?
John Feitelberg
Hey, you're good. You look, I would say normal to good.
Kevin Clancy
That looks. That looks weird to me. Those eyebrows are like very.
John Feitelberg
No, I'm actually dropping the normal. You look good.
Kevin Clancy
But like, okay, this one's a different. This is bad lighting. So I just look ugly in general. But like, my eyebrows.
John Feitelberg
Oh, that looks ridiculous. Yeah, that was crazy.
Kevin Clancy
That's like, what, what? And then this. Because this would be like, let me get another. Like, this would be my regular. Like, there's just like. That looks normal to me. But most people go, where the fuck are your eyebrows?
John Feitelberg
Comparatively, three is the most normal. One is the best, two is the worst.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, but, but the, the picture was the same as the video.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You know what I mean? So like, like, and here, here's like one of the headshots that I took. Like, so see, that one looks weird, I think. I don't know. Sound normal or weird crazy.
John Feitelberg
That looks like Uncle Leo when Uncle Leo gets.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah, but, but they're not like.
John Feitelberg
But that's just eyebrows from. From afar. It looks like very like, like a cartoonish because they're.
Kevin Clancy
But so what do I do? Just go with no eyebrows?
John Feitelberg
I mean, it's one of those things. Like, you'll get used to it once you start seeing it a few times.
Kevin Clancy
But that's. So that's my point. Like, does it look weird on me or it just looks weird?
John Feitelberg
I think it just looks weird because you look different.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
And then, but like, if you, but if are you start doing this.
Harold Perrineau
Well, I'm not going to do it.
Kevin Clancy
Every day, but like, if I need to. I mean, every time I'm. Every time I put a video, everyone's like, where you have no eyebrows. So when it's something like, it's like I'm working with a different company and they want like headshots, I'm like, you know, if it's my video, I'm going to fuck. I don't Know if they're going to make like a poster of me to promote something and it's just an eyebrow less freak, I don't want that. But I also want to look like unguilt have eyebrows, man.
John Feitelberg
What is this company?
Kevin Clancy
It's a liquor company. So they, they, they asked for like some, some headshots for promotional purposes. And it's like, I mean like the difference between. Wait.
John Feitelberg
That is very jarring.
Kevin Clancy
That one I think is also just like bad weird lighting but getting old, man.
Eddie
Have you guys seen like the tick tock trend of girls asking guys like words the girls would know? No, I feel like you guys would know all of these.
Kevin Clancy
Okay. I was gonna say let's do it.
Eddie
Okay.
Kevin Clancy
Because we've done those things before here where it's a product like what is this?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And I usually get those. I think that uncultured swine, misogynistic swine out there.
Eddie
Okay.
Kevin Clancy
Always. They always guess it's like a sex toy every time.
Eddie
Waterline.
John Feitelberg
Yes. I know this.
Eddie
Do you?
John Feitelberg
Yeah, it's your mascara. Like the eyeliner where you put your eyeliner.
Eddie
Nice. Yeah. Money piece. Money pieces?
Kevin Clancy
No, I don't know that one.
Eddie
You don't know any piece? What do you think? Take a guess.
Kevin Clancy
Money piece.
Eddie
Like a money pieces?
Kevin Clancy
Money pieces.
John Feitelberg
I would guess like, like the part of your outfit maybe that pops.
Kevin Clancy
Apparently that's wrong. I would guess it's a makeup. I don't know, like maybe something like a little like glitter, sparkle like little money pieces on your makeup.
Eddie
It's like the hair, the hairs around your face that like brighten your face. Like, like people like will brighten it because it like the money pieces are the ones around your face.
Kevin Clancy
Like a money shot.
John Feitelberg
Is that what they call baby hairs?
Eddie
Yeah. No, but like baby hairs are like flyways. Fly. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Technically there's like the bad version of that. Right?
Eddie
Slut strands. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Slot strands.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I like that one. Yo. That is, that's.
Eddie
Well, that's not money. Like money pieces are like more like the chunk.
John Feitelberg
You keep like vaguely reverently. Do you have money pieces?
Eddie
Like I haven't got that one chunk.
Kevin Clancy
That'S hanging down right now.
Eddie
These would be the money pieces? Yeah, like the ones.
John Feitelberg
Oh, I see.
Kevin Clancy
It's just like the most important part.
Eddie
Of your hair strands is like if I put my hand upon each other. Pull down strands.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
To me like that was like all the Puerto Rican girls I ever loved had like the slicked back down hair in a ponytail or a bun and then two like distinct Hoop earrings, Reebok classic high tops. Oh my God.
Eddie
Okay, you guys are going to know this one. French tips.
John Feitelberg
French nails.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, my favorite. By the way, I was doing a blind ranking. Nails, filters, you know those things we have like one to 10. Yeah, you have to. You have to order them.
John Feitelberg
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
So I was doing that with Shay and. And I was like. I was treating it very seriously. I was like, we got decide. You got. You got to know what kind of nails, what kind of girl you are here. You know what I mean? Like, if I don't want you walk around these big, long, gaudy, obnoxious nails, you know? So she was blind ranking them. And like when just like a nice clean French tip nail popped up, I was like waiting for her answer. You know, she put it very high. So I was like happy about that. Like, it was like a clean. You know what I mean?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Right.
Eddie
Technically, in the last four years, I would say like three years, they've been like, like trashy. But it's coming back around. I. I personally have not understood like the trap. Like, I feel like it's good. But no, I feel like I just called straight trash.
Kevin Clancy
Well, no, if you saw the other nails, I mean, these, you know, they're like. Okay, then. Yeah, just like. These are just like regular. There actually was one that was, I think just like a nice. There was like a regular, like red. Like a big red nail, which I think is always like a classic look.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
But almost like a nude. Would you call it just like. Yeah, regular. Your nails just look nice, but they're not even.
Eddie
Like, people love like the. Just like the. It's almost like a white marble. I don't know how that.
Kevin Clancy
Like that. I was like. She was. She was picking some shit at one point. I was like, no, no, no. We did make. We did a whole bunch. We did Taylor Swift songs, we did female artists, we did Christmas movies. We had all these things. And I was like, very. I was like, this is important. We're gonna decide right now and here what kind of woman you're gonna be.
Eddie
Hell yeah.
John Feitelberg
That's so funny. I never thought about that. With kids, like, you do what's currently popular, but I never thought of it as like, you do tick tock trends. Like, it makes perfect sense. But like what it was, you know, I liked playing sports, but if you like consuming content, you would do that.
Kevin Clancy
Well, it was the first time I've ever done it and I think I regret it because right away she was like, so like, can I get tick Tock. And I was like, for sure. Like, listen, you come around my kids, come around daddy's house. There's basically no rules.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
It's like anything goes. One thing I am like going to be an extreme dad on is like. I was like, you're not touch. At least I say this now. Yeah, we know, I'll fold. But my plan is like, you ain't touching social media to your like 27. Because I just think it is the worst possible. I struggle to handle it as a 40 year old man.
John Feitelberg
Right.
Kevin Clancy
As a 10 year old girl or something. Like I can't even imagine how hard it is with. Did you get likes and did you get shares and you know, mean comments and all that shit? So I was like, they also played.
Eddie
Up being like badass bitches.
Kevin Clancy
What's that?
Eddie
I said everybody might just end up kind of being like, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I'm like, listen, can we like, are you gonna be like Alex Earl and be rich? Then we all get you a fucking page right now. But otherwise.
Eddie
Anyway, back to the terms sizes of tampons. Tampon sizes.
John Feitelberg
It's about your flow.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Heavy.
Eddie
Sorry, what? Name the sizes.
John Feitelberg
Heavy.
Kevin Clancy
Like, well, I feel like that's more like pads. I don't think they would call it tampon heavy, would they, fat pussy? Yeah, be like tight and slut.
John Feitelberg
I can't.
Eddie
Every guy is like so immature with the scotch.
John Feitelberg
If you showed me vaginas I could go. That one goes with that one.
Kevin Clancy
I think it probably is. I would say like light, medium, heavy.
Eddie
Okay. Light, regular and then super.
Kevin Clancy
Super.
John Feitelberg
Oh, I actually knew that. I just thought, I thought you meant by sizes. I thought you meant something else because it's, it's less.
Eddie
It's more like about like the first day of your period. You have the light. Yeah, right.
Kevin Clancy
But you know what they should do just so maybe you guys can take a walk in our shoes for for once is they should put a number on it. Like you need a fucking 5 centimeter tampon or something. I'm over here with. I got like a 2 centimeter tampon.
Eddie
I'll tell them. What does purple shampoo do?
John Feitelberg
It keeps your hair blonde.
Eddie
Nice. And then Brazilian blowout, that's where they.
Kevin Clancy
Blow on your asshole.
John Feitelberg
I can't say I know that one.
Kevin Clancy
I think it's just like a style of getting your hair.
Eddie
It's like it like presses your hair like a certain straight. Yeah, basically it's like a she. Like a, like a. What's it called? I can't think of the words.
John Feitelberg
I Know, I know a Brazilian, and I know a blowout. I don't know a Brazilian blowout.
Eddie
Yeah, well, so the separate.
Kevin Clancy
What do you think would be terms for guys to girls. Do they have a list of that also?
Eddie
There's one pep. Pep. Okay, wait. There's also a list of, like, words that girls know that guys, like, don't know, and then guys know the girls don't know.
Kevin Clancy
Wait, I guess we should give you the list of guys terms, right? What the.
John Feitelberg
Is that?
Eddie
Like, do you guys know peplum?
John Feitelberg
No, I don't really know any of these.
Kevin Clancy
Okay, wait. I know doula. Doula's like a midwife, basically.
John Feitelberg
That, like.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Helps you. A peplum.
John Feitelberg
You know, I have no idea what any of these words are.
Kevin Clancy
No. Better by males.
Eddie
No, this one's. But this one's the female one because ruched. You guys know. You guys know what ruching is?
Harold Perrineau
Rouge.
Kevin Clancy
I feel like he's like a. Is that like a makeup thing? Like blush? Like a red.
Eddie
No, it's, like, on fabric, like, when it's all cinched up.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, it's like ruching.
Eddie
No, peplum's like a top that goes, like, at the bottom. It, like, flows out.
Kevin Clancy
Okay. Why would. Yeah. I wouldn't know that. Wait, give me the rest of the list. Can you make that larger peplum?
Eddie
I don't know the second one.
Kevin Clancy
Peplum, Buccal, Roosh, pessary, doula, chignon.
John Feitelberg
I don't even think. These are.
Kevin Clancy
These are not even English.
John Feitelberg
These are just, like, vocabulary.
Kevin Clancy
No, but these are weird words, dude. These are words like, I've never seen before. Like, I can look at words, and I'd be like, I know that word, but I don't know the definition. I've never seen these words.
Eddie
Okay. Words for men.
Kevin Clancy
Okay, let's see you look away. Can you make it a little bit bigger, though? Yeah. All right, well, right off the rip, though. I would not. How it. Howitzer. I would not refer to a howitzer in terms of an instrument.
John Feitelberg
No.
Kevin Clancy
How is a tank.
John Feitelberg
How is. Yeah, how is it?
Kevin Clancy
Artillery? Right?
John Feitelberg
And then I would call it, like, you got a heavy shot.
Eddie
I. That word. I've never seen that word is this way.
Kevin Clancy
You never seen howitzer before?
Eddie
No.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, wow. Okay. Like, this will be good.
John Feitelberg
Like, hockey is like.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, hockey thing. I mean, I think of it as, like. Well, first of all, it's. In this world. It's a dick. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
But like a howitzer, actually. I don't even know what I would have thought of prebar. So I can't even like that. To me now, that just means dick.
John Feitelberg
It was. It was like the NHL games. Oh, he's got a. How Elon Leash is a howitzer.
Kevin Clancy
I thought howitzer was like a. Maybe I'm mixing up with Panzer. I thought howitzer was like a tank.
John Feitelberg
It did, but it's like a shot.
Kevin Clancy
Okay, but so then what kind of instrument is it?
John Feitelberg
I don't know. That one.
Kevin Clancy
That seems weird to me. Thermostore preparation for lobster.
John Feitelberg
No.
Kevin Clancy
Azimuth.
John Feitelberg
No.
Eddie
I feel like that was a different list that I saw.
Kevin Clancy
Are these. I feel like we're getting pranked.
John Feitelberg
Like, are these words? These aren't words.
Kevin Clancy
Pleasure. Electricity. Electricity in Italy? I don't think so. 24 words that are. Moan. No. Known mostly to men. Let's see here were the words that men were mostly recognized over women. Kodak. C O, D E C. Nope. Solenoid.
John Feitelberg
Nope.
Kevin Clancy
Golem. Gollum.
John Feitelberg
I know what a golem is. Yeah, what's that? It's a Jewish thing. Like, I don't really know what it is, but I know it's bad and I know it's a Jewish thing. Like, a Gollum is like a bad sign thing. Mach, like, Mach 5. That's what I'm thinking.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Humvee.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You know these? Jack?
Eddie
No, I'm trying to. No, none of these.
Kevin Clancy
If I said Mach 3, do you know that means.
Eddie
No, that sounds kind of familiar.
Kevin Clancy
But, like, that's funny, too, because I bet, you know, at one point it was all just about planes. And then I think it might. Most people might think of razors now. Humvee, you know, Humvee is something with, like, a car.
John Feitelberg
It's like a military type suv.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Claymore bomb. That's a sword.
John Feitelberg
Claymore.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Claymore is a landmine.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Okay. Scimitar. That's definitely a sword, that one.
John Feitelberg
I don't know.
Kevin Clancy
Scimitar. I think it's a sword. Kevlar?
John Feitelberg
No, it's like a bulletproof material.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Heavy duty material.
Kevin Clancy
Paladin.
John Feitelberg
Nah. Natalie Portman in Star Wars.
Kevin Clancy
I was gonna say. Yeah. Bolshevism.
John Feitelberg
No, I know it. Bolt. The Bolsheviks. I think it's probably something Russia, like.
Kevin Clancy
Like a Russian Communist type of.
John Feitelberg
Right.
Kevin Clancy
Bolsheviks. Biped.
John Feitelberg
Bipped.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know how to say that.
John Feitelberg
B, I, P, E, D. Biped is a mammal or an animal on two feet.
Kevin Clancy
Wow. Dreadnought.
John Feitelberg
I don't know that one.
Kevin Clancy
And then here are the words that women are likely to know over men. Taffeta.
Eddie
No.
Kevin Clancy
Tresses.
Eddie
No.
Kevin Clancy
Bottle brush? No. Flouncy.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Mascarpone.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
That's a dessert, right? Yeah. Dick. Yeah. You got it there. Decoupage.
Eddie
No.
Kevin Clancy
Progesterone. That's like a hormone. Yeah, I know that one. Wisteria. Shout out to Wisteria Lane and Desperate Housewives. I know that.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Eddie
Because I feel like I've.
Kevin Clancy
But that's probably not what they're talking about. Top. It's a color.
John Feitelberg
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Makeup. I feel like that's Hope top. Taupe. Peony. That's a flower.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And bodice. That's like the. That's part of your dress, right? The bodice? Yep. Fucking smoked. I'm probably not thinking I knew more. The girl words. The guy words.
Eddie
Yeah. That's why I was like, I know that, like, the. The waterline stuff. I was like, I know that you guys would know.
Kevin Clancy
I'm gonna. I'm gonna. You know. You know, when. You know, when you. In our blogger careers, there's always. You have those moments where you go out on a limb and you talk about something that you don't know whether other people are gonna relate to it or not.
John Feitelberg
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Okay. I'm gonna do one of those. Jackie, you have to ear muff it. Have you ever been in. You get in the shower, you're cold, and you get in the shower and so your balls are really tight. Right. And then have you ever pulled, like, pulled them down and had an extreme amount of pain?
John Feitelberg
Okay. I was like. I don't know if other people have done this.
Kevin Clancy
Like. Like, imagine bat winged it. Yeah, dude. So freezing cold, you're in the shower, you batwing it. It hurts so much.
John Feitelberg
Why did you do that?
Kevin Clancy
I don't know. It was like. I was like, start to wash. And then I, like. I noticed how, like, tight they were, and I just kind of. And. And, like, it is such extreme pain that, like, you just gotta ride out. It's like, really. It's like. It's not like your ball. It's like hitting the balls. It's like the skin. And I did it the other day, like, by accident. I mean, I had all my shit going on. I was just. The way I was washing, I was like. I kind of pulled on it. And I was like, no, because it's one of those things where it takes, like, a second to hit, you know? Yeah, it was coming.
John Feitelberg
Oh.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know if anybody else out there has ever experienced it. Disaster. Super, super. It feels like someone has a lighter just, like, right underneath your balls. Super, super painful and hot. Like Stinging. And the hot water is on it. I don't know. Maybe. I don't know if it's the water or just the. Just like batwing in once it's cold. I don't know if it has to be in the shower. I've never done it anywhere else outside of the shower. But if anybody else out there has done that. But I don't know. I mean, I can crack my dick and I got weird ball skin. Maybe I'm just a fucking freak. Okay.
John Feitelberg
I mean, it sounds like that would hurt everybody. I think you're.
Kevin Clancy
I mean. But I'm not. I'm not like ripping. It's just like, if you. If it goes from tight to like, you stretch it out so it's not tight. They're so weird, right?
Eddie
So weird.
Kevin Clancy
Well, the reason I brought this up is because I had. I had sent a list. I sent a link to the group chat too. It was similar to what we were talking about now. Like, just things that, like, girls don't know about guys. And one of the things was girls being like, how much balls move around. And I guess when you're down there or looking at them or seeing a guy naked, you know, you can see him jump around.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Like if you get cold or like they move up and they move down. Yeah.
Eddie
Wait, so do they have muscles? Like, can you.
Kevin Clancy
It was actually one of the funny parts of what. Let me find this link. Because one of them goes. One of them was like, I didn't know how much guys could move their dick without their hands. And the. And the, like, the comment below, it was like. And our tape, an asshole too. It was a very. Let me read some of these because it was good. Yeah. Morning wood. Had no. Absolutely no idea that my. That. That shit just pops up every night until I started dating my first boyfriend. You know that.
Eddie
Yeah. I mean, they.
Kevin Clancy
Hang on, I gotta go screenshot by screenshot. This list is very annoying.
John Feitelberg
Well, you're finding that. I'm gonna say something. Progesterone made me think of this. I was watching football yesterday. And it's funny. Like, you with streaming, you forget how all commercials are just like, medical stuff. And there was a commercial for a pill called Bismarck's Bismarcks. It's for a psoriasis. And the first side effect was suicidal thoughts. And I was just thinking about someone who, like, usually suicidal thoughts is a side effect of like an antidepressant. Someone who's been in that world before.
Kevin Clancy
Psoriasis, taking a pill.
John Feitelberg
Someone who's like, someone who's just a perfectly happy person, but has a rash that gets a little itchy sometimes. And then, like, they just start thinking about driving into oncoming traffic every time they get in the car.
Kevin Clancy
Well, I will say this.
Harold Perrineau
What the is wrong?
Kevin Clancy
Having just had some skin issues. If I ever had, like, extreme psoriasis, that was all the time. I might. I might. I might just check out. So the chance like that would make me want to kill myself. So maybe I'll take the risk of having it. But it would be funny.
John Feitelberg
Like, you're just in your mid-30s, in your first suicidal thought just hits like a freight train while you're driving down the highway with your family.
Harold Perrineau
What happened?
John Feitelberg
What happened?
Kevin Clancy
Well, hell, you know, he had like a little red spot on his neck. And now his family has orphans.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Everyone with psoriasis. Like, you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. So this was the ball sack physically moves around and you can see when it gets looser or tightens. It's super fascinating to look at. I. I mean, I don't think I even noticed. Like, I never, like, seen that. But I guess if they're.
John Feitelberg
I've. I've. I don't know if I've seen it. I've certainly felt it.
Kevin Clancy
My ex wife was shocked at how short a phone conversation can be for dudes.
Eddie
Yeah, the dude conversations always just. It's like, what's up? Not much.
Kevin Clancy
Cool.
Eddie
How you doing?
Kevin Clancy
Talking.
Harold Perrineau
Cool.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. The example here was my cousin texted me, we got engaged. Best man, question mark. Yep.
John Feitelberg
Cool.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, that's pretty much how it would go down. What else we got here? Most of them are way more into cuddling and having their heads rubbed.
Eddie
Yeah. That I have not experienced for sure.
Kevin Clancy
The head rub, though, I feel like.
John Feitelberg
Who likes that?
Kevin Clancy
Guys. Not John. Yeah, we know John has sexual abuse in his past. Physical touch.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
They can make their penis move up and down.
John Feitelberg
I was touching it.
Kevin Clancy
Did you not. Do girls not know that?
Eddie
I. I mean, like, kind like, I knew, obviously.
Kevin Clancy
Like, it's just Kegels for dudes.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I guess that was this guy's point. He was like. He's like, yeah. Flexes are tainting our too.
Eddie
The balls is really like, where it's like, I'm blind. I got nothing there.
Kevin Clancy
Like no knowledge. No ball knowledge.
John Feitelberg
I imagine the ball.
Kevin Clancy
You don't know ball.
Eddie
It's just scary.
John Feitelberg
We don't know anything about.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
It's like the. Almost like the ocean.
Eddie
We know.
Kevin Clancy
But it's the crate. I mean, the whole Thing is that they. It needs to be a different temperature than the body. So it's just got to hang out outside.
John Feitelberg
Right.
Kevin Clancy
So it knows what I heard. When it needs to get closer or further away, it's like this seems like a whole thing, man.
Eddie
Like, I don't know, just that feels like they come.
Kevin Clancy
That can be at 98.6. You know what I mean?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You think that we would, like, figure that out by now?
Eddie
That's what I'm saying. Like, the human body is not fully evolved at all.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, the fact that we still.
John Feitelberg
Well, nothing's ever fully evolved.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, Mr. Philosopher. We're always a working process.
John Feitelberg
Is that the definition of evolution?
Kevin Clancy
Suicidal thoughts. Get me out of here.
Eddie
But it's just weird to think like, like, like, I don't know, it, like at some point, like, are the balls just going to slowly, like, come back, Go back up?
John Feitelberg
Only if the body temperature goes down.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. It depends on everything you're saying.
Eddie
It's just coming off condescending.
John Feitelberg
It's the burgundy time.
Kevin Clancy
So much of this thread was like, just funny things about, like, you know, I didn't know about the balls. I didn't know about the dick. And then it was just like how little they get complimented. And it was like, one time I told, let me find this one. It was like, yeah, I told my guy that I loved his shirt. And he didn't even know what to say. He told me he couldn't remember the last time someone complimented him. So I've started looking at little random things to compliment him on.
John Feitelberg
I take that back a little bit. Like, guys don't try and get complimented.
Eddie
Yeah, you gotta ask for it like girls do.
John Feitelberg
But like, like, if you look around this office, like, no one puts on clothes going, I hope someone says something nice about me today.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, but it's. But, but like, there's another example here that is like, years ago, I bought my dad a Star wars themed T shirt. Like a Star Wars. It's not. You're not like, dressing up nice. But it's like, no, but if you were.
John Feitelberg
Shirt.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, but I mean, I think every.
John Feitelberg
Shirt here is just like a High noon shirt. Yeah, no, no one's complimenting you, dude. Yeah, you got it for free at a liquor store.
Kevin Clancy
But I could also see like, you know, I don't know if you, Bob Fox is wearing a Star wars shirt. I wouldn't necessarily be like, oh, cool shirt, man.
John Feitelberg
I'd say if he, like, yeah, if you're wearing a cool shirt, I'll Go. Yeah, it's a cool shirt. People just don't really wear cool shirts a lot. And then guys take pride in that. Like, I don't care about what I wear.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. It's like, yeah, you fucking do.
Harold Perrineau
You don't care about what you wear.
John Feitelberg
Wear a dress tomorrow.
Kevin Clancy

Kevin Clancy
Wow.
John Feitelberg
Jets at Rangers, Colts at Jets, Bucks at Giants. A lot of. Oh, Zach, Brian at Barclays. The.

John Feitelberg
Game Time who.
Kevin Clancy
I feel like we should probably talk about Zach, Bryan and Brianna.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
The big news of the Barstool world. And now just like the world world. First of all, I think, I think we've just lost Dave. Dave thinks he's a rapper now. Dave's launching a new career.
John Feitelberg
How many has he done?
Kevin Clancy
I think he's three.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, he's doing the meek smart.
Kevin Clancy
What a, what a saga that this one is. The amount of people asking me about this one is like crazy.
John Feitelberg
I know.
Kevin Clancy
You know, it's like a big story. Is like it's, it's gotten. I mean, obviously because Zach Ryan is out of the Barstool world too, but the amount of people asking me about it, like just in wildly inappropriate settings, you know, I mean, I'm like, yeah, like I don't I don't, I don't have info on this like scary, abusive relationship. Sorry, Sorry, dude.
John Feitelberg
So can I ask for the deets? Shut the fuck up.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, it's like I, we, the, the big debate. Everyone has always been talking about those. Would you take the money or not? We run opposite sides of this.
John Feitelberg
Didn't we already do this? No.
Kevin Clancy
No.
John Feitelberg
Oh, maybe we just talked.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Hard to believe.
John Feitelberg
My, I would, I would definitively. Look, it's all, you know, cash on the table type deal and all that stuff. I don't, I would not take the money. I don't even think I'd really think about it.
Kevin Clancy
My, my thought is what Brianna like went through and I think what even, you know, what people know about it sounds like what people know about seemed pretty shitty. And I think what probably went on even further is probably even worse is what it seems like.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
So in that case when there's, when there's really a lot of like emotion and hurt and you know, I guess in this case in some form of abuse, it feels like blood money feels like dirty money. And I, so I can understand that being like, I'm not touching that, but the other side of me was thinking like the ultimate goal, when you go through something horrible like this or any relationship that sucks, varying from like just it was, you know, a bad relationship that didn't work all the way up to like something scary and dangerous and abusive. But the ultimate goal I think is to like move on and be happy with someone new and forget about that person entirely and never think or talk about them again. And while that's like what he wanted to happen, like, it's almost like you're kick starting cutting that out of your life entirely.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And you get a fuck ton of money to go like, live your happy.
John Feitelberg
Your happiness, but it's not like your money like it's it Again, it's a no brainer to me. Again, it's a hypothetical situation. If it was a real life, it might be different. But like Brianna has money. Brianna will have a lot of money.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
She doesn't, she doesn't need to have money. Like every time she spends it like Zach fucking bought that for me. Like I would.
Kevin Clancy
It's like, yeah, that's where I feel like if you feel that way then it would like eat at you forever. I think I could very easily be like, fuck that person. I'm going to go live my absolute best life now with, you know, I mean, she's going to make a ton of money but $12 million is a lot of money. It's like money to me. To me, there's almost like a. I would say less. I would say no to less money, but it reaches a point where I'd be like, I don't give a fuck where this money came from. Like, fuck this, dude. And now I can, you know, buy my family houses and do whatever. Like, you know, again, it all depends. Depends on your financial situation.
John Feitelberg
Like, also your family big. I want that fuck. Like, it's. It's all about, like, you're separating from a scumbag. And like, if you don't. If you take that money, you're tied to them forever.
Kevin Clancy
I think of the other way. I think, like, of it. I. And I hope this isn't the case. But my thought of it is I want her to be, like. To, like, completely rid herself of that. And if. And if she feels the way you do, then. Then that's the right move. I worry that it's like, the other direction where people will remember this, like, and know about this. Like, this involves the public more now and there. And maybe this is just my own, like, PTSD of things not going away. But it's like, if that just. If it's forever now, every time her name comes up, remember when Zach Ryan over 28. Whereas, like, if she never spoke about it and people. People didn't know that. It doesn't get talked about. You're not connected to him forever in that sense.
John Feitelberg
But then it's like, it's your internally eating.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, if you. I don't. I don't think I would feel that. I think I would be, like, fucking sure, dude. Like, well, it's also our bills or the dollar bills. I don't care if they came from here, came from there, whatever. Like, if I can buy my dream home, my, you know, grandkids are set. My. This is set. That is set. Like, I think I could do that easier and then not have any sort of public involvement. What is different in this case is that there is such a. There is such value for, like, other women and. And her. Her family and herself to be, like, to air, you know, like, show this guy's true color so I can understand that. Of, like, other. So other women don't have to go through it and, like, to stand up. And that's been, you know, what's going on. Gone on in the world, like, so much recently is like, not letting people get away with this shit. Not letting guys, you know, get away with it. Like, they always have So I understand the, the. Actually I don't understand, but I. Because we don't go through that. But like, I can understand from, from a woman's point of view wanting to, to stand up for that. But I just, I also think of it as like, what would be best for just like you personally, if I was in that spot. You know what I mean? Like, for me personally, I would just want nothing. I don't, I don't want anybody to talk about it. I don't want anybody to know about it. And I can.
John Feitelberg
Oh, I don't think I would do a podcast, but I would still say no.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, like, well, that's the worst of all, John. Then you get nothing. And you don't, you don't, you don't, you know, you don't just get the.
John Feitelberg
Fuck away from me. And let's see.
Kevin Clancy
So that's my mindset is like, get away from me. But also I walk away with $12 million. If I, if I thought I. Every time I spent it, I felt like you, I would agree. I didn't do it. But I think I could easily spend some fucking assholes money and just be like, but whatever, dude. My, My parents now live in like their dream house, dream place. My kids are paid off. My. Everything is, is perfect now. Like, I'm good with that.
Eddie
I do think that there's like a big, like, that decision alone, like, changes the trajectory of like, like, it just rewires your brain. You're like, all right, like, I'm doing this, like, for me, like, I'm, you know, like, I'm betting on myself. I'm like, then you make decisions differently. You're like, I'm betting on myself. Like, she probably won't do as many brand deals, wouldn't do as many, like, whatever. Like, I do think it like that decision alone. Well, I mean, he's just gonna like, re. It like rewires your brain almost.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. She's also just a wildly successful person. I don't think that, like, that money would stop her, slow her down, change her.
Harold Perrineau
But.
Kevin Clancy
I just take the money. I just, I think there's. I also, you know, I think girl, when you're in a very different. Depends on your earning ability and your life and all that, but also your bills and like, I just think about like, the more money I could have to deal with, all the shit I need to deal with would make my life easier in the end. And I would rather that than, I don't know, the alternative. Yeah, but, but I would not trust.
Eddie
Myself to keep quiet for, like, if I took the money, I would be like, if I have a single drink, I'm telling everybody.
Kevin Clancy
Well, that's the only thing about NDAs in general are very, like. I don't know. It's like, what really happens when I have not heard a story of anybody breaking an NDA and, like, needing to. I guess Stormy Daniels had to give some money back. Did she? I don't know. Like, that was the one. I was like, this didn't even work, and I don't think anything happened to her. So, like, what's even the point of doing this?
John Feitelberg
I think my. My understanding of him is more of a scare tactic than anything.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Really prevent you from.
Kevin Clancy
Right.
John Feitelberg
Telling, like, I. I know a lot of things that people signed NDAs about.
Kevin Clancy
I'll say this, though. If you. If you and your team are scrambling and it sounds like it was almost like a negotiation process of, like, the money just kept getting bigger. You probably just.
John Feitelberg
Shitty stuff.
Kevin Clancy
Some really shitty stuff. Like, I mean, remember, imagine trying to, like, quantify your shitty behavior and being like, it's $12 million worth of shit. That's fucking garbage, dude. We all have, you know, had, you know, our bad moments in relationships. No one's. No one's perfect. But if you had to be like, put it. Put a dollar amount that might. That might begin to, like, make this person feel better or not talk about you or whatever it is, and you go to 12, that's a lot of money, dude. Zach Bryan, though, is. And his team are. Are in the around and find out phase right now where, like, I don't think other situations like this have ever run into something like Barstool and someone like Dave where, like, it's gonna be a problem for the rest of your fucking life.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
When Dave does this shit, like, when you get. When you get your name on a champagne bottle, like, it's not. It's not just gonna go away now. You know what I mean? That's. That's gonna. That's gonna follow Zach Bryan around for a long fucking time. And I. I don't know, it's. It'll be interesting to see, like, he is a superstar where. I'm sure there are people who are. Don't know what's going on or don't care what's going on, and they just like, the music or whatever. But I think at every turn where youe know, Dave is Dave or someone at Barstool is, like, asked about it, it's like, that guy fucking sucks. It's not as I don't know how many other people have run into that where it's like, these people usually do get away with it or pay people off or it just fades away and it's like out here in the mud on the Internet, that shit doesn't go away. So be prepared for that to be, you know, the rest of your life. I don't know what he put out some music. Did that. Was that, like. Did I, like, go up on the charts?
John Feitelberg
I. I don't know.
Kevin Clancy
Because that's the other side of it. I wonder too, where it's like when someone does something shitty and you're. And your music goes even higher. You know what I mean? It's like, mother, mother this world, man.
John Feitelberg
But it is my words. It's like, oh, yeah, that's right. I do like that guy. Yeah. Like when R. Kelly went to jail as music Skyrim. That's right. He doesn't make banks.
Kevin Clancy
It does make it so anyway youy know best. Hopefully. Brie. I actually. So when I. When I first saw that. That tweet. Yeah, I saw it on Twitter. I saw the clip saying how much money it was. I was like, yo, I was like, this is fucking gangster. But, like, you should have took that money. And I fire up the tweet, like, right away before I listened to anything and really heard the episode. And then when I listened to some more of it and. And like, realized the depths of it and how horrible it was and now how much even more behind closed doors, it's even worse. And so I called Brianna and just be like, by the way, you know, I fired off a tweet before I really knew the extent of everything. And, like, I want to apologize. I didn't. You know, I didn't. She was like, bro, I didn't even see the tweet. I don't care. Yeah, I was like. I was like, I know that. And I know you probably A, would never even see it and B wouldn't care, but I was just like, I just need to.
John Feitelberg
So did you think I was Twitter?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I was going to say I didn't even. I've never. Her handle is be chicken Franklin.
John Feitelberg
You've written that on a note and thrown to the fireplace. I'd have the same chance of seeing exactly that.
Kevin Clancy
I just got to make sure, you know, though. But. So that's all very serious and terrible and all that. But the funny side of it is the diss tracks and Dave being a rapper again, I just fundamentally don't get how he can't rap words. I think we did talk about this last episode, but he just. It's like when Dave talks, he can talk and then he raps, and he's just like. Like, his voice goes up and it does these strange things, and it's like that. Have you ever listened to a rap song? None of them sound like that. He just gets in there and he's like. It's like, that is not. There's not one rapper alive that does that.
John Feitelberg
Dude rapping. Jimmy Buffett, apparently.
Kevin Clancy
Jet Ski had to. He would rap with him. It was almost like. Like pushing someone on a bike and then, like, letting them go. He would rap along with Dave, and then they would get to the part that had not yet been recorded, and he would stop and, like, let Dave keep going.
Harold Perrineau
That is ridiculous.
Kevin Clancy
It's like. I mean, I'm sure when, you know, Jet Ski and his producer and Roan and all these people who make music, I can't even imagine them being like, is this. You know, if you're working in the industry, it's like anybody who does engineering and production, you know, they can make magic happen with auto tune and this and that, but it's like they usually can say the words, yeah, is this. And shout out to Caroline, too. Caroline was on the vocals for Country Diddy.
John Feitelberg
Caroline was.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, she sung. She sang the chorus of it. So, yeah, it's a. It's a company effort, I guess. So where.
John Feitelberg
Where are they recording from? Miami?
Kevin Clancy
I think so. Because Jet Ski. Jet Ski was like, yeah, I got a flat. I got to, like, fly down, like, right now to go make another track. Because it was like a. That. That was another. That's a bad move to the ultimate. Like, when you delete the tweet and it makes it worse. Warner Music should have just. Yeah, that was very, very, very funny that Josh Richards did not know he had a music deal.
John Feitelberg
Really?
Kevin Clancy
That's what happened. That's why I got taken down. Because they own his music really well.
John Feitelberg
Oh, I thought it was Zach Brian.
Kevin Clancy
So, I mean, Zach Bryan's on Warner Music.
John Feitelberg
Okay.
Kevin Clancy
He probably went to his label and was like, what the do we do? And they were like, we can actually take this down because we signed a late. We signed a deal with Josh Richards. We own. We own his next four songs because in 2020, he did something like this and made, like, a dumb.
John Feitelberg
I did not know.
Kevin Clancy
Can you actually pull that off? Yeah, it's called. What's it called? Softish or something like that. Still Softish. So it's like Josh Richards, Bryce hall, all the. Yeah. Back when they were, you know.
Eddie
I mean, we can't.
Kevin Clancy
I just want to hear it. So he made that song and I guess signed a deal to do that. That's crazy. Like, just put that song on the Internet. Yeah. So they. Yeah, they initially thought that because they were singing. They. The outro is like singing like a Zach Bryan song, and they thought that somehow is copywritten. Like, you can't do that. And I was like, no, no. Is that. We own Josh Bryan's music. Josh Richards music. And we. We can. We, you know, have to. We get to distribute.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, all that.
Kevin Clancy
So they were able to take it down.
Eddie
Oh, sorry.
Kevin Clancy
Charlie D'Amelio, little Huddy and Charlie. Oh, yeah. Okay. So then that's. That's why they had to do Dave's version without Josh, where Dave just like, wrapped Josh's version. Dave made a whole separate song. So.
John Feitelberg
Okay, so it's a second song.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I got you second song, third recording. You know, did Days version like Taylor.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
But to be like, I don't know that I had a. That I signed to a major label. Is that guy's life fucking nuts? Imagine just finding out you're. You have achieved what like, billions of people would dream, and you're just. It's just sitting on the shelf somewhere like, oh, yeah, I got a. I got a music deal if I ever want to make an album.
John Feitelberg
Like Warner Music song about Lil Huddy. And they signed.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, like, that's. I guess for like this probably Warner was like, let's just get a closet. Yeah, he needs to. If ever he wants to do anything, you know, we own him. But I think Dave was like, would have been nice to know music deal before we did this. So that's that. Yeah, I. I said at the top of the show, I think it was the best weekend of my life. This weekend.
John Feitelberg
What happened?
Kevin Clancy
I had Keegan. Keegan's Little League team won the championship.
John Feitelberg
Really?
Kevin Clancy
Against the team that kicked us out. So we had a revenge game for the whole. The whole saga that set all this in motion when he got kicked out of his first Little League team because of, like, neighborhood borders and zoning and all that. And we were teamless and we went to this shitty. It was like some Mighty Duck. We got, like, kicked out. We. We went to, like, a Yonkers league that had just, like, shitty fields and just was like, ugh. And then we ended up landing with the. The Westchester Giants, which is like the greatest baseball program ever put together. This dude is awesome. Anthony. I guess it's Gigante. Gigante. I don't know. I don't know. Italians. He was coaching for the Westchester Fire, which is like a travel program. And he built it up. Like he. I think he had like two or three championship teams at like all these different levels. Eight, eight and under, nine and under, 10 and under. And so he asked for a raise. And actually so he, he builds up this like, program. He has like three different championships, like three different levels. And they end up firing him out of nowhere. And a group of like the kids and parents were like that, like, we roll with him. And he just started his own program. And it's like. Scott, within like a year, it's like skyrocketing. He just bought his own facility. Really. We're gonna have like, you can just hop on an app and just like, if you want to go to the batting cages, you can just like, you know, book some time. Like, everybody can use it all, like private and professional coaches, like, all paid. Like, I'm at like every practice. These guys are like. It's like a real fucking baseball. The championship game was like a real baseball game. It was like watching a like professional. What was the final we smoked? I think it was eight, one.
John Feitelberg
No.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, we. Dude. Since once Keegan got there, I don't think they lost. I think I missed one game and they had lost it every other game I was at. We mercied.
John Feitelberg
Or you say that's when you start getting the whispers on the bench. Like, should we just mercy roll on?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, dude. It was. I mean, they have. Their rule is six run innings. If you score six in an inning, it stops play and then ten, like your traditional ten. And I think they did that like like five straight games. Dude. This kid, this fucking kid. Sam Bauer. Remember the name. Remember the name. Sam Bauer. In like 15 years he's gonna be in the bigs. This kid has a fifth. They have a 50 pitch count limit for these kids. Routinely would pitch four innings just throwing darts. Yeah, he had a. The other day he had a four inning perfect game where he struck everybody out. And the only ball, the only ball that anybody made contact was to him. And he threw the ball over. I was like, sam Power is. And I'm talking to his parents. I'm like, your son's going to be like a professional pitcher. And they're telling me, he's like, he's actually a very like anxious kid. He has like a lot of anxiety. I'm like, what, are you kidding me? He's dealing. I Was I was treating these kids like I was watching the Mets this. So he pitches three innings in the championship and then this kid Theo comes in. Theo was two for three with like three rubies and, and. And comes in for the three, the three inning save. I was like me, the dad, I couldn't tell honestly who was like more happy was the kids or the dads watching. Because it's a very good group of parents who like, they're not like they're invested in it, but they're not assholes.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You know, so they're actually very like tame considering how good the team is. I was, I was expecting like, oh, these are some serious people. And the amount of pacing going on and like dad's being nervous. And then like when like we would get out of an inning and it would. It felt like I was watching the Mets. We only need six more outs. Who's gonna pitch this? Who's gonna pitch the fifth? Who's gonna pitch the sixth? And like balls in play. Everybody like making plays, catching, throwing. I was like, this was like a real baseball game. I couldn't believe it, man. So we. We win the championship. I don't think I won a basketball championship as a kid in like maybe like seventh grade when I was still playing in the Bronx. We won like a. And the teams in the Bronx were like, good. So it's like a real actual. Can be proud of it as a kid championship. I don't think I won anything else. Did you win as a kid?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You won in hockey a lot.
John Feitelberg
We like, we. I've played. Yeah. I mean like I can. I have. My dad has like in the gym in the garage. Like all are like wb. It's just like a fucking crazy. Pictures all over the place.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
And then there's a lot.
Kevin Clancy
You want a lot, like a lot of championships.
John Feitelberg
I. I mean there, there are a couple of pictures. I know we won can am like three times, which is a very cool hockey tournament. It's Canada versus America or not Canada versus America. It takes place in Montreal and Lake Placid. So I have a few of us winning that and I don't. I just don't really remember. I'm sure we did like a couple of younger things.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
But like definitively I have I think two or three. And then I'm sure there. There are others.
Kevin Clancy
I was like, I was. And the funny part is like Keegan was like, can we go play video games?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
He just like went about his day, the rest of the day. Like he was. He Was pumped. They gave up medals instead of trophies and he got like a shirt and a banner and he was like, he was pumped about it, but he was equally as like happy to just like go home. He wanted Dunkin Donuts and his switch.
John Feitelberg
Do the can ams. Like the dads would go get shit faced after like, like a team that won. Yeah, we all have to just sit in a room, dude, because like the kids couldn't go out.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, right. You don't have free will.
John Feitelberg
I mean, I really, we'd win the championship and I'd like watch some movie on the, like On Demand, fall asleep because, you know you're staying in a room with your parents at that age. And like my dad would come like popping bottles at like 3am you have fun celebrating my championship last night.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, exactly. I was like, I said to the dad, I was like, this is our chip.
John Feitelberg
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
This is our championship here. And then that night. So while we're at the, at the tournament, I had to go to Danbury, Connecticut. There's like 30 teams, all different age groups, all playing their championships on that Saturday. And so there was a lot of music being played, like a lot of pump up music. And Eye of the Tiger comes on. And it was actually amazing to see that there is something like inherent about that song. Keegan like stopped and was like, what is this? I was like, yeah, this shit fucks.
John Feitelberg
I remember, I remember asking about this song, what song is Fucks?
Kevin Clancy
And I was like, oh, I'm so like, it made me so proud that his ear, like he knew that, you know, so he's like, what is this? And I was like, eye the Tiger. Like I'm explaining the lyrics to him. And I was like, and it's attached to this movie and this guy Rocky. So I, I, I explained that to Shay and Keegan and I was like, do you want to watch it tonight? And they were, they were like, yeah, let's do it. Because they, as much as kids usually are like their parents are lame for at least for our generation. I'm batting a thousand with old school movies.
John Feitelberg
Really?
Kevin Clancy
They're all good. They're all great. This is why I still maintain that every, every generation does this. But like, ours are different because like when my parents said that to me, I was like, these movies stink, dude. No way. Oh, when your parents were trying to like make you watch like old like Black and White, it's like these are all garbage.
John Feitelberg
I mean like, I would watch.
Kevin Clancy
That's the equivalent for, you know, they're watching that's like 30, 40 years old.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, but like, if your parents tried.
Kevin Clancy
To put some on from like the 50s.
John Feitelberg
I mean, I don't. I don't remember the years. Like, I loved Monty Python.
Kevin Clancy
But that's what I mean, I'm playing those movies.
John Feitelberg
Came out like, no Monty pythons. Like the 70s.
Kevin Clancy
I guess, maybe, right? Yeah, but like, that's still. That's still not really. You know what I mean? It was probably equivalent of watching something 30 years.
John Feitelberg
So this is.
Kevin Clancy
When did that come out? Is it that old?
John Feitelberg
I would.
Kevin Clancy
I would guess 70s, I guess if our parents. Well, T. Python released 75. So 75 would be 75. 75 would be like a 20 year difference. So that would be like putting on a movie from like 2000. Yeah, I'm put on movies from 1985, you know, I'm putting like. Like Rocky's in the 80s, dude. And they were at first like, it. Rocky starts like Rocky 4. I put on. I just cut right to the chase and I. And I. So I put it on and it starts like a little bit slow because in the beginning it's just like Rocky and Paulie and he's talking to Apollo and I'm kind of giving him the background. And Keegan was like, kind of watching an iPad. I was like, I almost lost him. Shay was kind of like, I don't know. And then once Rocky gets cooking, these kids were up on the couch punching Keegan's go. When, when, you know, when they go, the Russian is cut, the Russians cut. Keegan had his own version. He goes, he's bleeding, bro. He's bleeding, bro. He said, punch him in the eye. Punch him in the eye. And like, at one point you see Drago like, spit out all of his blood. And Shay was like, oh, my God. Like visceral reactions, chanting Rocky with the. With the crowd. Like the full, real rocky experience 40 years later with an 8 and 9 year old. I've never been like, happier and more proud that I was like, yes. Like, these are my fucking kids.
Harold Perrineau
Let's go.
Kevin Clancy
It was. I don't know what was better, winning the championship or watching Rocky night with them. It was unbelievable, man. It's very fun now that they're getting to that age where you can like, do shit like that with them. Like, I don't know. I got a endless amount of, like, movies and songs and all this shit. If you like this stuff, I got plenty more to go. Telling you, man. Greatest generation. Greatest generation, my friend.
Eddie
Cuz like one time we were watching Creed 2 and I was like. It was like 30 minutes in the movie. And they're like, oh, like, this might be better than the second one. I was like, was there a first one?
Kevin Clancy
You're watching a movie called Creed.
Eddie
They go, what did you. What do you. Do you know anything about this?
Kevin Clancy
No. You've never seen Rocky?
Eddie
I never seen Rocky.
Kevin Clancy
I never saw a movie. You saw was Creed.
Eddie
And I was like, oh, my God. They should, like, make more of these.
John Feitelberg
I saw the ninth movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
They're like, also what? They've been like. They keep talking about the first one.
Kevin Clancy
I was gonna say, no, no. Like you didn't understand the dynamics. Jump in the middle.
Eddie
You gotta, like, figure it out. It kind of starts to come together.
Kevin Clancy
Like an hour that, like, if you don't know the dynamic, he's the son and Rocky's training him. You just think it's just a boxer and a trainer.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Which I guess is what. Still, the original Rocky didn't have all that. It was when I, like, I think Rocky 5 started to autoplay. And they're like, there's another one. I was like, no, no, this doesn't count. You can maybe skip to Balboa, but we're gonna go right to greed and that guy's got a son. They're like, what? This is crazy. It was unbelievable, man. It was. It was good stuff. The Emirates NBA cup is here. I'm officially old and washed up and not as. As, you know, up on sports as I once was because I've never even heard of the NBA.
John Feitelberg
It's the regular season tournament.
Kevin Clancy
I know, but I've never heard of the NBA Cup.
John Feitelberg
I think it's the first time they call.
Kevin Clancy
Okay, got it.
John Feitelberg
I'm guessing. I'm just assuming it sounds like the in season tournament.
Kevin Clancy
So all 30 teams split up into six groups every Tuesday and Friday play for the right to advance into the single elimination in season tourney, which then culminates into the NBA cup championship in Vegas. That's all very ridiculous, but it's kind of a cool way to just spice up the regular.
John Feitelberg
It's very cool. I. People hated it last year.
Kevin Clancy
They were like.
John Feitelberg
They not hated it. I think people like the. The tournament itself, but then, like, made fun of the Lakers for, like, making a banner.
Kevin Clancy
Well, you shouldn't. Yeah, I guess you can't have one without the other.
John Feitelberg
Like, it's. I don't know. We. It's the first tournament we won it.
Kevin Clancy
Right.
John Feitelberg
We made a little banner. Like, they're not hanging it in the rafters with their championships.
Kevin Clancy
It was like, as long as you don't do that kind of like, I.
John Feitelberg
Think it's a little thing in the hall, in the, in the concourse, like.
Kevin Clancy
You know, you know, who needs this? Baseball desperately needs this. Yeah, like, if there was little things throughout the nine months of the baseball season where it was just a little more, like, for whatever reason, we just agree that this means a little bit more, that dog days of summer would be a lot better.

John Feitelberg
It was one of those five.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, Gaffigan, Nikki Glazer, Trevor Noah, Dave Chappelle. But here's the problem. See if we can guess it. Don't look it up because it's like we should just. We should know. You know what I mean? It's like knowing the best. The, the, the best pictures. It's like, you know, the best movies, they get nominated. The fact that we can't even think of The. Of the. The nomination is a problem.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. I don't know.
Kevin Clancy
Dave Chappelle, Trevor, Noah, Nikki. Oh, Ricky Gervais.
John Feitelberg
Ricky.
Kevin Clancy
Ricky Gervais. And some of those were good. Some of those were. Eh. But if you're not going to put Beautiful Dogs, Shane Gillis is special in there. It's like, what's the point? And I know this is nothing new in the comedy world. We do it with Always Sunny and the Emmys and actually a bunch of funny. And the Emmys in general. And like the Gr. The Oscars doesn't win, you know, win anything for comedy. And so. But if you're gonna do.
John Feitelberg
Do a category, I'd be curious if young, like, I. And I genuinely don't know the answer to this. Like, when Chris Rock was young, was he getting nominated? Because he got nominated last year when.
Kevin Clancy
It feels like, yeah, so Gaffigan was.
John Feitelberg
Young when Gervais was young.
Kevin Clancy
It's a little more like a. Almost like a career achievement award when you. When you do get it. Louie just got it recently, and I.
John Feitelberg
Think he's gotten a lot, though. It's all like. I. I think all since he got, you know, canceled. I think he's been nominated, like, every album he's put out since then.
Kevin Clancy
That was the other thing. People were like, oh, Shane. No, it wasn't technically an album. He didn't release it on audio. It wasn't the right time frame. Like. Nope. It was all. There was 94. Not, like, options, people, whatever, specials. And they just did not give him the nod on that one, which is just, you know, insane. It's just. It's like, obviously there's, you know, politics or personal feelings or whatever. It's just insane. It was the best special of the year. It was the biggest special of the year. He's the funniest guy. It was objectively, like, funny material, you know, it's not like a situation was like, oh, that was popular but not quality.
John Feitelberg
Oh, is. Did he put it out? Because it's actually not on Spotify. Beautiful Dogs Live in Austin.
Kevin Clancy
All that is true. It's not out on there. But that, like, did not. That's not like, the rules.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Because I, at least I read a Billboard article that said it was 94.
John Feitelberg
And I assume it happens the same. I have friends in, like, the music industry, and they're like, it is so almost to the point where it's like, not even corrupt. It's like. It's like, this is how it.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. People pay it all.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Like a label or Whatever the label buys.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah, like 100.
Kevin Clancy
That, that's. I at this point, because I remember saying more with music than comedy because comedy is like pretty independent. But I was always thinking if I, if I was coming up in the music game, being on a label is crazy. Just be independent. You can put it out yourself, you can create it yourself. You can. You don't need them anymore. But if you ever want any of that stuff. You do.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
If you want to get on the radio station, if you want to get at the top of a Spotify playlist, if you want to get nominated, if you want to win, if you want to be in like commercials and all that shit, there's just like, it's just pay to play. It's just like you have to have a label who owns you in order to do those things. And so that's what you're paying for. Not because it used to be like you are paying for distribution and promotion and all that. And I. And while that still happens now, I think you can do that yourself. But what you can't do is get a Grammy nomination.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Even if you put out the best music, the best comedy, it's like, well, you're not part of the, the system.
John Feitelberg
It's. It's fucking insane. It is like every time it happens, you're like, this is nuts. But it does happen every time.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, I think it's tough when there's just like a clear, like, if he doesn't win, fine, but I gotta nominate him. Like Trevor no was gonna be on there over. Yeah, because like, like, like Jim Gavigan, all time fucking legend. Nikki Glaser's at like, you know, a unstoppable freight train right now with her career. Ricky Gervais. That was his first, first ever nomination, which was like, really? Well, like he, that's crazy. He should have had more. But like, okay, he's on there. Chappelle I didn't care for. I was like, I'm sure this is just the one. He's making fun of trans people again. But like, if he puts something out, he'll always get nominated. And then Trevor Noah feels particularly like politics. That was very silly.
John Feitelberg
So, I don't know. I watch a lot of stand up comedy. I don't know anybody who's watched. Trevor Noah especially.
Kevin Clancy
I didn't even like, yeah.
John Feitelberg
On Netflix, but I didn't know.
Kevin Clancy
And that's where it should just be like the People's Choice Award almost, because it's like comedy really is determined so much. I feel like, comedy is a pretty good meritocracy. There's. There's some, like, people that you would call a plant that, like, they're not really plants, but they're like, you know, there are more corporate or more. Yeah, you know, whatever. But for the most part, it's like the funniest people. It might take a while, but, like, at least within the industry, they know. You know what I mean?
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess.
Kevin Clancy
But. But that's. That's not what it's about when it comes to, like, the hardware and winning awards. But if you. If you were to put it out to, like, the comedy world, what, five nominations for the year? I mean, I had to look at the list of, like, who came out this year. But it, you know, within the time frame, if it would be, you know, Soder and Bargazzi and Shane and Sam and, like, all those people.
John Feitelberg
Right.
Kevin Clancy
So whatever. These guys are still fucking crushing millions. But I'm sure it would be nice to have.
John Feitelberg
It was nice to put a Grammy on the mantle.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah, that's definitely something you want to check off. And it's like, I'm sure, you know, Shane will have a million more specials, but, like, that one is so there's every chance that that might be his funniest special ever. Because, I mean that to me, it's like some of those bits. I think the Navy SEAL ex boyfriend is like, the funniest.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
It's just so relatable and. But so not at the same time. It's like the perfect, perfect story. Like, so who knows? So it's like when you. When you get a good one and then you deserve it. You fucking deserve it.
John Feitelberg
But I think. I think his new hour is better, so.
Kevin Clancy
Even better. Wow.
John Feitelberg
The. I also. I saw Soda this weekend. Soda's new hour is so goddamn funny. So I won't with people who.
Kevin Clancy
So.
John Feitelberg
Who didn't know him. They knew him from Billions. Like, I had two friends who were telling me about, like, oh, we started watching Billions. It was like a friend and his wife, and she'd never seen it. And so I was like, let's go, Murphy. Like, he's a comedian. Like, you want to go see him? And it just happened to line up. That week is like the start of New York Comedy Fest. Dan was performing Friday night at Town hall.
Kevin Clancy
And that's got to be a mind fuck if, you know, if you think.
John Feitelberg
Of him as just that.
Kevin Clancy
It's like.
John Feitelberg
But they were like, this is the funniest thing I've ever Seen. Yeah, I know, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Fucking, like, billions is a great role for him, but it's not, like, hilarious, you know, so it's like, oh, that guy who has this, like, side roll on the show about the stock market is the funniest person alive. Like, you can do the best impressions, does the best jokes, best podcast, funniest guy alive. It's like, wait, why?
John Feitelberg
He's just the fucking dude in millions dude.
Kevin Clancy
This is. I think this is it. I mean, it's funny to say because, like, he's obviously already a wildly successful dude with a, you know, recurring role on one of the biggest shows ever and, you know, a podcast that's. He had a show that ran for a decade and now a new podcast. So it's not like. It's not like, oh, this is, you know, Dan's finally going to break through. But I do hope, like, he needs to be one of those guys who's making, like, $75 million. Like, I don't know if it's in his personality to be the guy who, like, grinds a world tour and, like, does all the side, like, the work, like, the politics side and the whatever side of it. He seems just like a happy dude, but his material and his talent should be, like 75 million. So I hope that's on the horizon for him. I. When I. I mentioned Samurill as well as getting snubbed because I thought his special was great, and he. I think he came out too late in the year, so he might be eligible for next year. So I was talking to him and I was like, well, fingers crossed that you do get the nomination for next year. And he was like, who gives a. And I was like, yeah, I know, you're right. And it doesn't really affect you, but, like, if there's a category and you're gonna. Then the Grammys are gonna do it. Like, they should do it. Right?
John Feitelberg
And he's probably bothered more if it was a category you have to give a speech for.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Feitelberg
In the storage closet.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah. If you're, like, on TV and all that, it makes a big difference. But. But he said what you just alluded to. He was like, like, I don't really give a shit. And when it. If. And when I maybe do win one, by that point, I'll probably suck. Which is, I guess, kind of their. Their, you know, vision of it is like, they're. They're. The way they see it is like.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, it's a lifetime achievement. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Which. And if that's the case, Then, like, that's okay too. But make sure you get these guys when they fucking.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Before they kick the bucket. But it's like, yeah, I'd rather get it when I deserve it rather than like 10 specials in. Because the audience is clamoring. How is this guy? Never wanted Grammy.
John Feitelberg
Did you see Shane admitted he didn't vote for Trump.
Kevin Clancy
Wait, what?
John Feitelberg
Yeah, I like, meaning.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, he voted for Kamala. Just didn't vote.
John Feitelberg
He didn't vote, but it wasn't like, I don't vote type deal. He was like, he, like, explicitly said he's like, I would not vote for Donald Trump.
Kevin Clancy
Where did you say that?
John Feitelberg
I saw it on Instagram. It was like, like one of those, like, funniest standups or whatever. I was like, damn. I would have just by let that one ride. Yeah. I respect the fuck out of him being.
Kevin Clancy
Hell. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Well, he's funny where he was like. He's like, I'm very clearly a Trump enjoyer.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
A Trump supporter. I don't know about. Those are two different stories.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, I got. I wish the world could, like, the rest of the world could admit that, like, and fall somewhere on that, that space as opposed to where they're at. That shows a couple things. Number one, like, respect the hell out of just, like, being honest about, you know, where you really stand. And number two, that's how fucking talented, popular, and unstoppable Shane Gibbs is. He could say that. And that entire demographic, supporting group, audience of his would be like, hmm, don't love that. But, like, let's go to his new special that Ain't Stopping. Nobody's, you know, boycotting Shane at this point. It's.
John Feitelberg
I, I.
Kevin Clancy
That's a runaway train.
John Feitelberg
Before, like, before the election, I was like, Shane's the only person who's like, handled this in a way I think has done well, where he was like, I do the jokes, and you think what you want are the jokes. But, like, I never heard.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
So I'm not like, going to his rallies or, like, I'm never even heard him. Like, Tony Hinchcliffe has been invented. His rallies. I'm sure Shane's been invited to his rallies.
Kevin Clancy
Absolutely. And if you don't think Shane was, you know, the first choice for msg.
John Feitelberg
Right, right.
Kevin Clancy
It's like Drake turned out the Super Bowl.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
It's like, I've been offered this. I didn't go. I've never even really heard Shane talk politics.
John Feitelberg
Not politics specific. No. Everything's a culture war now and all that, but like, but any.
Kevin Clancy
But even him, it's like they, they, they do it like on behalf of him. They, you know, but he's never up there being like, talking about. I don't ever really hear him talk about censoring and woke and wokeism and all that. And I definitely don't hear him talking about, you know, like, policy and stealing elections and all that. He just does the impression basically. You know, you probably get an idea where he like, leans, but nobody really knows that kind of shit. So it's like a lot of people, like, you just kind of fill in the blanks for them or speak for them or assume for them. It's like, fucking idea.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Eddie
Matt and Shane's podcast, whenever I've listened, they've kind of talked. Like, it doesn't surprise me because he's kind of been like.
John Feitelberg
I think that's what he said it on. It was, it was, it was. Again, I forget what Instagram account was. It's like funny a standup or something like that. And it was like one of those, like, carousels. It's like Shane Gillis admits he doesn't did vote for Donald Trump. And then I flipped to the side and it definitely looked like a Matt and Jane episode. It wasn't that starve. He was on it. I forget who it was like, you know how Matt Chains are. Film was like the one static shot and they were like, poor lighting. They were sitting at a table. So I couldn't. It was definitely stopping. I could recognize in the dark.
Kevin Clancy
He'S like the Jordan silhouette. Like, you know, exactly. A shadow of him.
John Feitelberg
You like that? Stop.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, that, that we've. We've spiraled out of control. Like the. When Dana White, like, thanked all the, all the podcasts, it's like I was like, I don't think these guys should really have much bearing in this world.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, Aiden Ross is like a political influencer now. Fucking. I mean, even like Theo is. Theo Bonds, like, massive and. And so, you know, J.D. vance and Trump and. But it's like his whole thing is being like just hilariously ridiculous like that mixing with the political world is fucking insane. Think we, you know, reset the. The. The. But at the same time, I don't know, I go back and forth. It's like, especially having, like, started a podcast so early. I think it's cool that it's gotten to a point where it is so where podcasts are like, respected and oh, I think almost too far, you know. Did you see the. There was like, I guess Kamala paid Alex Cooper for that appearance. So they paid, they said six figures to go on, call her daddy.
John Feitelberg
Always six.
Kevin Clancy
And they got. And I think it, like, it. It didn't crack. A million views, really. And Joe Rogan. And Joe Rogan was free for Donald Trump and got, you know, 70 million views. I don't necessarily know if, you know, one of those. If that really matters one way or the other, but. So I think it's, you know, cool coming from a podcast where it's, like, literally starts out as, like, you're just, like, ticking around with your friends. And now you get to. The industry is at a point where a presidential candidate is paying you hundreds of thousands of dollars for a chance on your podcast. In that regard, I think it's cool that podcasts have become such an important and, like, accepted part of media. On the other hand, it probably should just be guys around, like friends just dicking around and. And not swaying presidential elections. It's like, I can't tell either. If it does, that's scary. And if it doesn't, then, like, let's stop talking like it is. Yeah, I mean, it's like, I don't know. Either way, this is. This is fucking crazy. I guess. I don't know. Some people probably think it's. It's like, more. I guess it's kind of symbolic of how Trump got elected in the first place, that it's like the opinions of regular people and, like, regular conversation actually matters more now than, you know, lifelong politicians and legacy media. But I don't necessarily know if that's always a good thing, because we are just a lot of times dicking around here. I mean, Rogan himself has always been like, I'm a fucking meathead who's, like, stoned half the time, you know?
John Feitelberg
Right.
Kevin Clancy
But then all of a sudden, that guy can, you know, probably sway an election. So I don't know if it's good or bad, but it's for sure interesting that we're at this point. What we got the ladies. Let's go. Hi, guys. First time, long time with a hypothetical for you. So cancer, vampires. Cancer is not communicable disease, which means, like, you can't catch it from someone else, like a common cold or something, whatever. But what if someone with blood cancer got bit by a vampire? Could the vampire catch cancer from that person? I've had a lot of people go both ways on this. Like, obviously, a vampire can't get cancer. It's a vampire. But for the sake of the question, what if they could so person with blood cancer bit by vampire. Just a vampire. Catch the cancer. Thanks. Does. Does a vampire even get affected by cancer?
John Feitelberg
I don't think they'd catch cancer. They'd catch AIDS and they'd look exactly the same.
Eddie
My friend brought up a great point that like when a mosquito, when, when a mosquito. When you're drunk and a mosquito drinks your blood, did they get shit faced?
Kevin Clancy
There's a hammered mosquito just like drunk, drunk, flying. I think, I mean a vampire is dead. Again. Undead.
John Feitelberg
It's an undead.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
So there's no sort of aging.
John Feitelberg
As I'm saying, you get AIDS and you just look like a vampire.
Eddie
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
I can't even tell that guy's got aids. I thought he was just a vampire.
Kevin Clancy
So aids, but no, no. Cancer.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Because AIDS cancer, AIDS is blood transfer.
Kevin Clancy
Right. Like cancer is like a mutal, like a mutilation. Is that the word? Not the mutation.
John Feitelberg
Mutation, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
This is where AIDS is like, it's just like the presence of it. Right. It's in your blood.
John Feitelberg
So I think, I think blood cancer.
Kevin Clancy
Is probably similar to aids where it's like the blood, it's like, I don't, I don't think if you had, if you had cancer of. If you had liver cancer and, and I bit you and your blood went at me, I don't think I would get your liver cancer. But if you have blood cancer and I now have your cancer blood in me, I probably have it and it.
John Feitelberg
Probably spreads, I don't think.
Kevin Clancy
Right. Like it's just like cancer mutates and spreads, right?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
So if you get a little bit in you and it, and it just multiplies.
Eddie
But I feel like if your red blood cells are like, get this the out of here, then it can get rid of it. But if it, if it like doesn't.
Kevin Clancy
Recognize, I get, I guess if my body could fight your cancer. That's not really how it works. Right. It's not like it's like when you get cancer, is it something like your body is not able to fight it and other people's would be. Or it's just like, you know, everybody would fall victim to it if they had this thing.
John Feitelberg
I think, I think if you're a healthier person, you probably have a better chance of fighting it. It probably affects you still. But you would could, I think have a better chance of killing it.
Kevin Clancy
So I guess it depends on who the vampire is and who the cancer is.
John Feitelberg
I think vampires kill the, out of cancer. It's like the supernatural.
Kevin Clancy
Anything that, anything that like humans that would. With humans, like vampires could smash that. Yeah, A vampire. I'm. I'm alive for 10,000 years. I. I can turn into a. I can turn into a. I mean, I can. I can turn into a bat. You think that your little human disease is gonna fuck with me? I morph into a animal.
John Feitelberg
I walk into a ball sack. It's like I found out when I was young that I had an uncle who had down syndrome. And I found out that I was like at his facility and the doctor told me that he's not going to die of aids because no one with down syndromes ever died of aids. I think he was aids. Maybe it was cancer.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, that's right.
John Feitelberg
And I was like, that's a wild thing to tell a nine year old. But okay. But I always remember it now that the doctor was right. He didn't die of whatever he told me he wasn't going to die of. He had a suicide, actually. No, I'm kidding. But yeah, like, vampires are the down syndrome of the cancer world.
Kevin Clancy
Vampires are the down syndrome of the cancer.
John Feitelberg
Can't get it.
Kevin Clancy
And that. Wait, is that a true thing? That people with down syndrome can't or.
Eddie
You heard that too.
John Feitelberg
It was either cancer or aids. It was a big one. I know that because I remember. So I guess I don't remember fully, but it was. It was either cancer or aids. Someone with down syndrome has never died of that.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, that's also probably like Asian people though, right?
John Feitelberg
What's that?
Kevin Clancy
I don't think Asian people get down syndrome.
Harold Perrineau
Really?
Kevin Clancy
No, but I. Have you ever seen one. Yeah. You seen Asian people with down syndrome? Really? Because in California there's a bunch of Asian people. I've never seen an Asian person with down syndrome. People with down syndrome can die from cancer, but the risk is lower. Huh.
John Feitelberg
Check A.
Kevin Clancy
They don't have a bad after all.
John Feitelberg
Huh?
Kevin Clancy
All right.
John Feitelberg
This is. Doctor might lie to me.
Kevin Clancy
Well, no, I mean that, that, that sentence sounded though, like that at one point they probably thought nobody could. Yeah, well, it's probably just like. It probably took a while for it to happen. You know, it's like it was like when people thought that black people couldn't get covered because it just hadn't happened.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And then, you know, eventually, you know, it's a small percentage of the population, maybe like the medical world didn't even know if it had happened yet. And then eventually they're like, ah, this retarded guy came in, came into, you know, Sloan Kettering one Day.
John Feitelberg
Medical marvel.
Eddie
I forget what podcast I heard this on, but, like, this guy. It was like this. This guy, like, started, like, he was totally normal, and then he started to kind of have, like, pedophilic thoughts, and then he, like, just turned into, like, a pedophile. And he. But he was aware of it, so he, like, told his wife. He was like, by the way, like, I'm really, like, I'm fantasizing about kids. Just wanted to flag that. And so then they go to the doctor, and they're like, oh, well, he has a giant tumor in his head. And so then they, like, get it out. He goes back. He's not a pedophile anymore. He's like, okay. That was like, I'm. I'm back into, like, normal people. And then. And then he, like, a few years later, like, pedophilia thoughts start, like, creeping back into his head, and they go back and they're like, oh, yeah, the tumor's back.
Kevin Clancy
He had a pedophile tumor.
John Feitelberg
Let me tell you this. If I ever die of a brain tumor. No, I've been thinking about banging kids for a while. I'm not telling that to anybody. Like, that's.
Kevin Clancy
That's the bravest thing I've ever had, yo.
John Feitelberg
Like, I would be like, this is a nightmare. But this is my battle, and I will fight it alone. I'm not telling I crossed a bear. Anyone else, like, like, dude, imagine that. Imagine your, like, best friend came to you and was like, dude, I got everything about being kids. Don't tell anyone.
Kevin Clancy
Don't ever say that again.
John Feitelberg
Should I go to a doctor? Like, no, no, don't. Only if you're going to get castrated or something like that.
Kevin Clancy
Go lock yourself in a room forever. That is. That's not one of those things. You know, I got, like, I got to tell you because I need help. It's like, yeah, can't fix that, bro.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
If I. If I have this mysterious tumor that I die from, I've been thinking about.
Kevin Clancy
All time, all time bad luck to get the pedophile tumor twice. Like, give me anything else. Give me the tumor that makes me, you know, think this way. I'm a murderer. I'm a regular rapist. Like, I have to. It has to specifically be the kid rapist tumor.
John Feitelberg
That's crazy.
Eddie
Was it on here? Maybe it was another podcast I listened to, but this guy, like, worked in the er, was, like, a nurse. And then this other guy who was really old. He was, like, a veteran. It was, like, dying, and then He. His, like, last words were like, by the way, this whole time I was a pedophile, I didn't act on it once. So I can die, like, feeling good about that.
Kevin Clancy
How many. How many people do you think are like that? Because what you just said, no one's really admitting it except for the tumor guy.
John Feitelberg
I can't imagine many. Like, I don't know. I guess that's a hope, but I would.
Kevin Clancy
I think it's just something we would never know, though. Like, there. I just don't think think anybody would ever admit to it. So there's no, like, literature on it. There's no examples of it. Yeah, but I wonder if there's some guys running. I mean, you know, it's like, people control sexual urges that. That are, you know, you don't cheat, you don't. You don't do this, you don't do that. Like, so could happen.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, I gotta imagine that pedophile urge that hits like, McDonald's sprite.
Kevin Clancy
That's on like. Like, it's not your regular. It's not regular Sprite. It's the bubbly spicy, where you're like, this is different. And I'm gonna drink a large one.
John Feitelberg
Damn, dude.
Kevin Clancy
I'm gonna get. I'm gonna get the big size, bro. I'm gonna get the super size. I am drinking this whole. It's true, though. If I go to McDonald's, I get a soda. I'll have a couple sips here and there. If I get a McDonald's Sprite, I'm drinking the whole thing. There is no stopping that, dude.
John Feitelberg
All I can live on. It's not often I get Jackie to make faces that was. I don't got a real. Like, what the am I doing with.
Harold Perrineau
My life.
John Feitelberg
You know? I mean, you get whenever you want.
Kevin Clancy
That McDonald's, that Sprite.
John Feitelberg
God damn.
Kevin Clancy
Next up.
Caller
All right, caves, see? What up. Long time, first time. Time to get real, though. Barstool, deep state talking, busting boys shouted out on the presidential candidate. But by Dana White. And months ago, I was already worried about this because it seems like Dana White kind of has something over a lot of the barstool employees.
Kevin Clancy
Dana White has, like a syndicate going on. Yeah, he does.
Caller
In a not a Diddy type way, but in a money type way. I don't know if you guys know what I'm talking about by now. I just used Google Gemini to help remind me of the actual term, which was tunnel of chaos. Google Gemini actually was able to.
Kevin Clancy
The. Is Google Gemini. Heard of that?
Caller
Just Podcast scripts or whatever. But yes, the Tunnel of Chaos is what I'm referring to. And if.
Kevin Clancy
What are we looking at? Right.
Caller
Listening to what they were talking about when people like that.
Kevin Clancy
His arm.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Caller
The Titus Mark, Titus Wilt Compton, Taylor, Taylor, Luan. Two other barstool guys were there. The Tunnel of Chaos with Dana White, who's since been kicked out of Vegas, I think involve getting up to hundreds of thousand dollars in debt and Dana White saying, keep going, double it, double it until doubling it eventually equal breaking even or something. And then that person eventually winning like $10,000 or name what you want and you eventually get there and you risk it enough. But that just seems like if you don't have an explicit conversation beforehand, like, yo, I don't want to do this. I have no interest in gambling or winning or risking it or owing anyone anything. If you don't have that conversation beforehand, then Dana White quickly turns into someone who has bailed you out of a $200,000 debt or $100,000 debt, I think was Mark Titus's case. And similar in all the people who were there, like they were down and they were the ones at the table.
Kevin Clancy
I kind of fuck with this theory.
Caller
Whatever they had named. And it was all.
John Feitelberg
Like, I don't get the voice, the point.
Kevin Clancy
Like, like these guys like, like bustin with the boys, like worshiped Dana White because of that time that like they were like down and out. But like Uncle Dana basically like, you know, was there to make sure you. You're okay and you got back.
John Feitelberg
But you have that explicit conversation before you go into the tunnel of chaos. Like, you know what a tunnel chaos is?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah. Like there is, there is a level. As I understand it. They're like, you pick like the amount of money you want to make.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And Dana will just make sure that that happens. But like Will Compton, it took him a long time and you know, I don't know. Like, what if there's a time where Dana's like. I think there was a time where Dan was like, I have to go like, but like, we'll take care of whoever. He was like, I think like a UFC event was starting. He was like, will go. And it wasn't. It was like. I think Taylor and. And Will like gambled all night to like make sure to get him back or something like that.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
So like it's all done with within friends. But Dana White has like, he has like deep, deep state like presidential weird. Like he has a. He has like a political party almost.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And I. He does it out of, like. I mean, he's super rich, and it's fun, and he's, like, creating, like, a moment and. But I'm sure there's. You know, he has his. He has his motives. You know, I. I think. I think Dana White knows what he's doing when he's like, he's not doing this for Joe Schmo off the street. You know what I mean?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
He's doing it for the big dogs, I think. I think he.
John Feitelberg
So he's. I'm so helpy. He's winning money, I think, for Will and Taylor.
Kevin Clancy
I think those guys, like. Like, Dave, you calls. Even the. Calls him out like, he. That bus would do, like, anything. They would, like, die for Dana.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And it's because of this, you know?
John Feitelberg
Right.
Kevin Clancy
So it's like.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's like us with Bert. I'll do anything for Bert.
Kevin Clancy
Right. But that's like, his is more like. It's explicitly like, you're down 250 grand at the blackjack table right now, and I will make sure you're not. You do feel a little bit like I owe that guy.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
He. The way Bert does it with us for, like, fun experiences where we're just like, we. We will always have your back when you do it, like, literally with money. It does feel a little more. I can understand a conspiracy theory like this. I don't think that's what's going on. I think if Dana White ran around doing it to, like, random people, it might be a little more like, I. I now own you.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
He's doing it with, like, famous people, and. And he's creating content, and it's viral and it's all that. So. But. But it. I don't mean this in a bad way, because I like. Dana White has. He's been good to barstool, and he's, like, cool with Bob Fox and all that, and, like. But if he wanted to, I think he could, like, flex his way into, like, a cult.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. Yeah. This is how Scientology starts.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. It's kind of like it was all fun and games, and now I, like. You worship me. And I run and I run the fucking. The whole operation. That. That is funny observation, that. I think they're. Even if it's, like, subconscious or he doesn't realize he's doing it. That's happening because all those guys are like, Dana White rolls in the room and says, like. Like. Like Dana White has more control over busting with the boys than he does us.
John Feitelberg
Oh, for sure.
Kevin Clancy
So, you know.
John Feitelberg
But. But that's. I. You don't get invited to Tunnel Chaos unless you're already a friend.
Kevin Clancy
Well. Or a friend. I think you get invited to the Tunnel of Chaos if you are, like.
John Feitelberg
Famous friend of a friend. Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
But, like, you have to have some clout and, you know, there's a mutual exchange here. Kind of like it's gonna be filmed, it's gonna be talked about. It's gonna be a thing. You know, I also think there's an inherent. Like, he loves to gamble, and he. So it's kind of like how Bert loves to drink and party. So he does that with us, and we all share that moment where he's like, that was fucking awesome. Right. We were down, and then we were up. But when it is gambling and money, there isn't more direct path to, like, I can control you.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Like, Bert. You know, is it, like, birds? Like, it's awesome, but we don't, like. We wouldn't, like, lose money or owe you or anything like that. You know, the. The Dana White syndicate is. Keep an eye on that one. Because if Dana wants, you know, streamers or podcasters to do something for him, I think they're doing it. I think. I think if Dana White told, like, will you have to kill somebody? He'd be like, all right, let's go bury this body.
Eddie
Do you think that killing was legal? You would have been killed by now?
Kevin Clancy
Great question. Yes. People hate me. I don't think you would.
John Feitelberg
Well, I'm thinking, like, I found myself in some pretty dangerous situations before.
Eddie
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
I would guess I probably am dead. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
When do you think you're gonna be killed?
John Feitelberg
I got a knife pulled on me in Spain once. I've just been to, like, dangerous places.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
I mean, like, I'm only thinking because we were just talking with Steve Fury about El Salvador and Colombia.
Kevin Clancy
Right. The Devil's breath thing. The Devil's powder.
John Feitelberg
Yeah. He was like, what are you doing El Salvador? I don't know. Partying. Yeah. But the. Yeah. I think I probably would have been killed by now because I. Like, I've been in enough. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Like that.
John Feitelberg
Dangerous places or bad times while also being up. Like, I've been a. A meaty target pretty often.
Kevin Clancy
We'll just kill this drunk white boy. Yeah. Like, when I got. When I got mugged, that guy would have just blown my head off. Because it's legal.
Eddie
I guess.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Eddie
I guess. Like, woman. There's just no woman anymore.
Kevin Clancy
That would be funny if we legalized it. All. And then you guys were gone. And these guys would be like, there's no one left to rape or kill.
Eddie
Yeah, we did it all.
John Feitelberg
I mean, the fun of that is you just make a new person, so you keep one with the raping. And.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, it's. It's a. It's.
John Feitelberg
I think the fun was the creating a new person, which I guess, yeah, that does make that. No, never mind.
Jackie
What's up, guys? I specifically want to know Jackie's take on this. So what would your reaction be if you're at the gym, end of your workout, just like, stretching and some guy, like, right next to you starts doing handstands and crashing? Like, really bad.
John Feitelberg
What a move.
Jackie
There was this guy, like, he came in and he, like, warmed up, started doing handstands, but was not good at them and would, like. It was like, dramatic. Like, he would before going, rub his hands together for, like, 10 seconds, go up, hold it for, like, not even a second. His legs would come down loudly one time, full body, just slam on the ground. And he would audibly go like, damn it. After every time, he would talk to himself. And I was like, what the fuck? Like, do you have no self respect? I was like, right next to him and there are other people in the gym. And I was like, I don't get it. Like, go up against the wall if you're trying to work on your handstand game. And I feel like if you're good at handstands, it's not like that. We. It's like a pretty normal addition to a workout. Like, I've done it before. I used to be a gymnast, and I've done, like, the shoulder taps before as, like, part of a workout. So I so badly wanted to just start doing handstands just to be, like, a dick. I think that was why it was so bizarre to me, because I was like, why would you do these if you can't? And it's like, loud and dramatic when you're falling over. I didn't do them, though. I. I try to stay away from men at all costs, unless they're like, my co workers or my friends. But, yeah, I don't know. That was. That was something. I was also catching up on old episodes, listening to the one where Jackie was talking about how she fucked a felon who would imitate Robin. And so all of that together, that was. That was something. I tried to think of a story that was, like, worse than that experience, like a hookup story. And I. I fucked around a lot before. I'm with my boyfriend now, I couldn't think of anything that was.
Eddie
That's all time.
Jackie
But anyways, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
She racked her brain as hard as she could.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Eddie
I go, that's not even my worst one. Right?
Kevin Clancy
The Robin one, he was kind of a good guy.
Eddie
Joker.
John Feitelberg
Joker. Okay.
Kevin Clancy
That do. Trying to do stand up handstands. That's her best point about this whole thing. Like, you don't try to do handstands. You either know how to do them or you don't.
John Feitelberg
Dude, I have done this. Like, I. But. But I did it right. I did it. It was like I was. I was. I was in Tallahassee. It was an FSU at the time. And I was reading like a Men's Health or might have been like Gerard Butler's 300 workout or one of those things. And it was like he did. It wasn't a handstand because it was like. It was. I did use the wall. So it was like you roll up to the wall and then you do like press ups.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
So I was in the FSU gym one day and I was like, I gotta try this 300 thing. So I did it properly where I didn't go to the floor. I went to the stairwell and I did it under the bottom stairs.
Kevin Clancy
Okay, so you didn't do this though?
John Feitelberg
No, no, I Harry Pottered it and I got up once and then immediately dropped on my head.
Kevin Clancy
I was gonna say that that's a.
John Feitelberg
In there.
Kevin Clancy
The real reason you shouldn't do that is because you will break your.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Because it is like the hardest thing to do.
John Feitelberg
Like, literally, I tried one time, fell on my head, never tried again.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, it's like being like, oh, let me try a backflip. It's like, no, you're gonna land on your goddamn head. I.
John Feitelberg
There.
Kevin Clancy
There's got to be a story behind it. There's more to this tale.
Eddie
Yeah, there's got to be. Like he had a train for something.
Kevin Clancy
Somebody was watching. He's doing it on purpose, trying to make you laugh. I don't know what it is, but that is. That would get me to go to the gym. That, that, like she said, stay away from men. Like that. That guy to me is like the harmless guy at the gym.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You know, it's like I was hoping that was going to end in a love story because I think that would be fucking hilarious to be like, what are you doing, dude? I got it. I'm trying to do some hands.
John Feitelberg
But like at the gym, you see that every day. What Is that person doing?
Kevin Clancy
The thing is people go to the gym. Like, like, if you go to the gym regularly, you know what you're doing. The people who go to the gym who don't know what they're doing are desperate to be in shape and just get like, like, I can just lift, I can run, I can. You know what I mean? You don't want to be the guy like, like, if I, if I went to the gym right now. I remember Shane talking about doing like, when he started getting in shape, he was doing like step ups on like a box like this. He was like, it was the most like mortifying thing. You wanted to be like, yeah, I'll just jump on like the big box. You can't, bro. You're fucking fat and out of shape. You're. You don't know what you're doing, you know? So it's like the people who are like, I'll just bench, like, you know, put 225 on there. It's like, no, man, you should start with the bar. So if you apply that to like this dude wants to be able to do handstands.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah. Start small guy. Go to little kids school.
Eddie
Are the weird. Because there's always one weird guy at the gym. Are they like peacocking or is it just like, they're just unhinged.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, again, this guy's awesome.
Eddie
This guy.
Kevin Clancy
I want to separate this guy from the regular asshole gym people. This guy's great.
Eddie
I personally. Red flags abound. I wouldn't date him, but he's awesome.
Kevin Clancy
Falling over. Be like, damn it. Oh, keep trying. It's so goddamn funny. Yeah. I think the rest of them are like, just delusional.
Eddie
So weird.
Kevin Clancy
Like I think they, yeah, you can't like admit like, or you don't want to just be like lifting lightweight.
John Feitelberg
Or like I saw a guy, I can only run this slow, like bench, and he had like a 45 and a 25 on each side. And he was going like an inch down and then back up and inch down and back up and then in between sets. And the only reason I saw this is I was waiting for the bench. And in between sets, he was just like taking selfies. And I so badly want to go up to him, be like, yummy, you want me take that for you?
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Just like, there's nothing, there's nothing more here humiliating than someone seeing you take a selfie. And I wanted him to know I saw, I saw what the you were doing. Wasting my goddamn time.
Kevin Clancy
Yep, yep. Yeah, it's like, let me. I'll film you while you do those, those reps you're doing. Right.
John Feitelberg
I was gonna make you feel small. I just wanted to say, hey, I'll hold that camera for you.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah. I mean, but that, that's, that's, it's like if you, if you don't have the, if you're too insecure to be like, I can only lift the 25s. You want to have the 45s on them.
John Feitelberg
It was like, literally he's like just bending his arm back up and just bending it. I was just. Get off the. Good for you. All that good stuff. But like, yeah, that's not what bothered me. What bothered me was the selfies.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, selfies. Like, get the.
John Feitelberg
Off the front.
Kevin Clancy
There was a. You know. By the way, I gotta give a shout out to Joey Swole. Joey Swole is just still out here making videos about people being inappropriate.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, not a thing we do anymore. It was like a six month Fat John.
Kevin Clancy
It is. Well, it might still go strong.
John Feitelberg
It's not crazy viral.
Kevin Clancy
It was yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Feitelberg
Like, I think even by Barcelona account, like Jim Harto's or whatever, like that time has passed.
Kevin Clancy
But it's the most commitment to a bit I've ever seen in my life. It's like he, he knows that's where his bread is buttered and I'm sure he, you know, maybe it's not crazy viral, but I'm sure it still like does whatever he needs, makes money or generates followers, whatever. I can't imagine doing that as many times as Tim. It's the same thing every time. Because when are we going to stop doing this? Like, when you stop making these videos, bro. If you stop, they'll probably stop. Like, it, it's the, it's legitimately the same reaction every time. The gym is not your personal space. When are we going to realize that we need to share this every time? But there was the last one I saw. As I say this, it was an interesting one. This girl was hitting the bag and this dude just came up on the other side of the bag and started hitting it. Like she would take like a kick, kick, kick, punch, punch, punch. Like a quick pause before she like did another move and he would just like start hitting it like it was his turn. And she, she just waited it out. I was like, that's crazy to do that. But shout out to Joey Swole.
Eddie
This should be like gym court. Like, I do feel like there's a.
Kevin Clancy
Lot of like if, if, if there was like a Black mirror, Social score at the gym. A lot of that would stop, I think.
John Feitelberg
Oh, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You know, if it was, like, you.
John Feitelberg
I think most of it is from people who don't know better.
Kevin Clancy
Well, I. There's two different things. Like. Like when. When. When a guy, like, looks at you, it's like. I don't know, man. Like, people are. You're in public, people have eyeballs, like. Yeah. I don't know. You were bending over, doing a squat, and a guy looked at you. If he's, like, creeping around you and leering around you, that's different. But I think things like, you know, like, gym etiquette, as far as, like, what you do with the. Like, wiping down your shit and what do you do with the weights and, you know, all that stuff. If there was, like, a score, you know what I mean? Like, you have to pay more a month or you can't come in. If you do this, like, all that would stop real quick.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Shame is the ultimate, you know, motivator.
John Feitelberg
I had one time I. I was on the incline bench and a girl came in front of me and just started stretching. I could have painted that ceiling. That's the other thing, too, is like, not with come. I mean, like.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, for those just listening, John looked up at the ceiling. Not talking about dick, but it was.
John Feitelberg
It was like, to the point where I was like, I think she's doing this on purpose. It was so crazy.
Kevin Clancy
Well, that's the other side of it. So, yeah, you sat in.
John Feitelberg
I was already sitting here. You sat there and you're like. It was like the, like, leg spreading, like, the leaning back. You know what I mean? Like, you know the pose I'm kind of putting. And I was just like. I was like, what the fuck is going on? This is, like, entrapment right now.
Kevin Clancy
Speaking of painting the ceiling, did you see Bob Fox at Pup Punk? No. It was the first time he ever addressed the crowd. Like, Frankie gets on the mic. Rowan's front man. Everybody has, like, all, like, the sung or, like, shouted out to the crowd. Never. Never Bob Fox. And for whatever reason, he, like, kind of got near the mic, and Rowan was like, oh, my God, is he about to do it? Like, it's Bob Fox about to address the crowd. So they all start kind of, like, cheering him on, and they're like. It was like a moment, like, waiting for, like, what is he gonna say? And he just kind of. What he said. He said something like, he's put his hand up. He goes, good evening. And it was like, very Funny. But he said. He almost yelled, no, come out of this dick. And he was like. He was like, we were just joking about how many people in the crowd would not know the reference.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
By two people would have got it like, yeah. The rest of the people would have cheered and not know why they're cheering. I'd just been like, that was weird what Bob said. What a rock star, man. Ridiculous. That was. That might be the most ridiculous moment in barstool history when I think about it. We had like a kid, like, he just turned 18.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
We had a boy who was barely legal and we were monitoring his semen. Yeah. Crazy dude. Like, I. At the time, I never really thought about, like, I don't know his parents and must have been like, what, yeah, are we doing here? All's well that ends well. But, boy, that was a. It was a strange time. Strange time in parcel history. All right, let's get into our interview now. This dude, Harold Perano from Lost, Oz, Sons of Anarchy and the new show from this guy was great.
John Feitelberg
He was awesome.
Kevin Clancy
Every time there's like a. Like a talented person and they're like a New Yorker. They're always awesome. When I saw he was from Brooklyn and he came in and was like acting like that, I was like, yeah, this guy is great. So if you're into any of those shows into television at all, a lot of great stuff from him. So you know him as Michael from Lost. And. And now if you're watching from. He's Boyd. So Harold Perrineau on KFC radio. Let's talk to him. All right, we're wrapping up the KFC radio suits episode here, brought to you by Express. I feel like we've looked pretty sharp. I feel like I even, you know, you look good, you feel good, you perform.
John Feitelberg
I've been more in my own head than I've ever been, really. Oh, God.
Kevin Clancy
You've been. You've been thinking about the whole time.
John Feitelberg
The entire time.
Kevin Clancy
No way.
Harold Perrineau
What?
John Feitelberg
You.
Kevin Clancy
You look. You're such a crazy person.
John Feitelberg
It's just.
Harold Perrineau
I have.
John Feitelberg
It's. What's happened is we got dressed and I haven't looked. I have no idea how I look. I have not looked.
Kevin Clancy
You look great. You're walk. You're rocking a express modern tech suit. They are everyday wear.
John Feitelberg
Obviously looks great, but I don't know how. It's. How everything's hanging on my body. It's. I got. I. I didn't know this about me. I got to look at a mirror before I see the world. Let the world see me, I have no idea what I look like.
Kevin Clancy
Would this be if you were wearing regular clothes too? You just didn't look in the mirror?
John Feitelberg
Probably. I just, I just don't know. I was curious. Like what do I look like? You look great. I'm sure I look good.
Kevin Clancy
He's just so sure.
John Feitelberg
I got a nice suit on. I just, I don't, you know, I don't know if my tie straight. I don't know if.
Kevin Clancy
You nailed it, babe. You nailed it. And you can too if you buy an express suit today. Right now. They're affordable, they're comfortable, they're machine washable and dryable. Everyday use. Whether you're dressing up one time or going to the office every morning. The modern tech suits are where it's at. If you're a more casual guy. They got the perfect Pima cotton T shirt. I got a whole bunch of those now. Express cracking my T shirt rotation is a big deal. And I got a whole bunch of express shirts now. They also have the polos if you need to dress up and look like a lame dad. But you know, hey, some of us can. We don't have to worry about that. You got the hyper stretch jeans that are comfortable enough to wear all day long and good enough to wear out. The 1mx shirts are the breathable easy care. They're stretched. They're the best button downs in the game. And you can dress them up or dress them down. And then the modern tech suits, of course. And with summer, with winter coming, you got the 100% merino sweaters which are breathable and they say temp regulating. I don't know how that works, but I know that when I put on the expression sweaters, I don't get as hot as I usually do. They get that moisture wicking or whatever it is. So you can wear a nice sweater. As I get older and just get hotter and hotter and more and more uncomfortable, it's like I can't wear the same sweatshirts and hoodies and jackets. All those like all that, all that Sherpa stuff that I loved. I'm like, it's too hot for me now.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
So I gotta find the right stuff. And that's where express comes in. So find everything you need all holiday season@express.com. all right. Super pumped to have Harold Perrineau in here. You have a resume, my man. That is pretty fucking good.
Harold Perrineau
I'm old man. Long time.
Kevin Clancy
I don't mean this in a rude way. You look great for your age.
Harold Perrineau
Thank you, man.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, I guess we shouldn't play the tough one.
Harold Perrineau
This is a tough one.
John Feitelberg
All right, I'm a guest. Let's see. I'm gonna put real thought into this. Lost was 2005, four start. Something like that.
Harold Perrineau
Yep.
John Feitelberg
I'm gonna guess you were 27 then. Okay, so I'm gonna go 47.
Kevin Clancy
Whoa.
Harold Perrineau
Absolutely wrong. I just turned 61 this year.
Kevin Clancy
No way.
Harold Perrineau
And that's the response I, like.
Kevin Clancy
I just saw today. I saw the six. I was like, no, it must be a mistake.
Harold Perrineau
No, no, I feel like that, too. Sometimes. I look. I go like, wait, is. Let me look at my birth certificate again.
Kevin Clancy
Are you. You take. I mean, you look like you're in good shape, actually. You look like. I feel like maybe it's because of the. The jackets in. In from. But Boyd looked a little heftier.
Harold Perrineau
Boyd is. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Were you bigger? Did you trim down? Or is that just.
Harold Perrineau
The boy is a little bigger. He's a. He's a. He. He's an ex military guy.
Kevin Clancy
Right.
Harold Perrineau
He was about to retire.
John Feitelberg
Right.
Harold Perrineau
He's just kind of like, you know, he's just more of a burly guy. And then when I. When I come back home and I'm like, in jiu jitsu and all that stuff, the bigger I am, the younger guys are just killing me. I just run out of breath. I try to put my weight on them, and then they just spin around. So then I have to slim down a little bit so at least they catch up a little bit.
John Feitelberg
You're a jiu jitsu guy?
Harold Perrineau
Yes. Yes. Is that a.
John Feitelberg
A new thing, or is that. When did you start that?
Harold Perrineau
Years ago.
Kevin Clancy
But, like, before it was a craze kind of thing, or when it.
Harold Perrineau
You know, now? Well, after the. Well, after the first UFC.
Kevin Clancy
Got it.
Harold Perrineau
After, like. Well, after that. Like, maybe 10 years after that. And then I started, and I went up.
Kevin Clancy
That's still pretty early on. School.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah. Yeah. And I. And I tried it there for a little while, but I was always in and out because, you know, like, I just tried. I got kids to feed, so I had to work a lot, so it was always in and out.
John Feitelberg
Do you find that changed you, like, as a person?
Harold Perrineau
What's that?
John Feitelberg
Like, just jujitsu and combat sports and stuff like that. We always hear about how, like, it makes you so much more confident and stuff like that. Like, did you feel like it made you walk into a room and you're like, I'm that dude?
Harold Perrineau
Well, I never feel like I'm that dude. Especially now with you guys. But, you know, martial arts in general did that for me. So before. Before jiu jitsu was like. Like, it was boxing and kung fu and all this other stuff because I was always such a. Like a little dude in my neighborhood. And. And that actually helped me feel like I could defend.
Kevin Clancy
So you could throw hands, you could people up. Well, if it came down to it.
Harold Perrineau
I'm 61, so I can live about three minutes. And then like, that's kind of if I don't win after that, it's just.
John Feitelberg
Like, do what you want. You might be 61, but I guarantee if you check like real body age, you're the youngest person this guaranteed, bro.
Harold Perrineau
I'm just gonna have to take you away from.
Kevin Clancy
We. We got. We got to talk about so many things.
John Feitelberg
Okay.
Kevin Clancy
But I do want to lead off with probably, I think maybe a little bit of a less talked about role. Oh. But I think Damon Pope. Oh, I think Damon Pope is one of the most villainous, depraved motherfuckers on television. We do a lot of like. Yeah, yeah. Like drafts and like top 10 lists and that kind of content. Yeah, we do like villains on tv. And I remember being like, you know, Damon Pope, if you don't know about it.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
What he did to Tig's daughter. Yeah, no, that stuck with me. Like, I'll just think about that on random days when. Yeah. When Tig's tied up and like. No, no.
Harold Perrineau
That was up. And then when they kill Opie. Dude, I still hear this.
Kevin Clancy
That's one of those shows, man. So beloved. Like, like so many guys watched all 900 seasons of that show. Exactly.
John Feitelberg
This story I've told countless times. But when I. When I started watching that show with my roommate, I was living in Boston at the time, right? And we both loved it.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
John Feitelberg
But he had a real job. I did this for a living so I could stay up all night.
Harold Perrineau
So he would go to bed. We'd watch three episodes, right?
John Feitelberg
He'd go to bed at 11pm I'd watch three more, but then I wouldn't have the heart to tell him, so I would watch. Watch the show. Double watch the show. That's wild. I. I don't want to spoil it for him, cuz he like, you know, we're enjoying this. It's a bonding moment. But I can't stop watching either.
Harold Perrineau
Jax gets on the motorcycle. Never, never Never mind, Never mind. You'll see. Great, man. But I mean, Damon Pope was villainous. He was. He was bad.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, that's Like a. You know, it's all acting, but I don't know. I feel like you got to go to a different place when you're setting on fire.
Harold Perrineau
No, here's the thing. I think about it all the time, and people ask me, like, is that hard to do? And I was like, actually, it's not. It's. It's not even hard to think about because what happens? And I'm. I got girls myself, right. If I were in Damon Pope's shoes and someone killed my daughter for nothing, right. Sitting in a restaurant, right. And I had the kind of access that he has. Burning her, your kid, might be the nicest thing. The nicest thing I. Harold, I'm going to do. So I have to take it from that place. Like, what would a dad feel about somebody killing his daughter? And the dad with the kind of access and the aptitude that Damon has, like, what would that do? And then it's. All of it didn't seem so. So hard at all. And then people were like, yeah, that must have been crazy. I was like, no, not really.
John Feitelberg
Harold, will you up. Be careful with this, man.
Harold Perrineau
I'm not setting anybody on. But, yeah, it's. It's heartbreaking. And we really used a. It was really practical. We used an actual stunt person to light on fire.
Kevin Clancy
Yes.
Harold Perrineau
And so that actually, that. That. That's shocking.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Harold Perrineau
Shocking. It's like, they're like, you're ready? And she's like, yeah. I'm like, wait, are you really ready? Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Are you sure this is your career choice?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know if, you know, fire.
Harold Perrineau
You should have another job. She was great, man.
John Feitelberg
When you use a stunt person, are you still the one who, like, lights the flame or do they have a kind of a professional do that?
Harold Perrineau
They had a professional throw the match in and then shoot me looking in.
John Feitelberg
Oh, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Okay.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, yeah. Just because you don't get.
John Feitelberg
You don't get to scrat. It's like, I wonder what's like the lights.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah. Their whole team is there to make sure it's really, really safe. But it is. It is frightening to see. And then, you know, watching Kim do that. And Kim is great.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, it's one of the, you know, I know Sons is kind of a. It's like a guy soap opera type of shoot him up show. But like, in those moments, there's some real acting going on.
Harold Perrineau
If you don't believe those guys, then the show doesn't work. Right. If you don't believe that, you know, right.
Kevin Clancy
He was great.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, yeah. And Kim's got those crazy eyes.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Harold Perrineau
I mean, those crazy blue eyes are just so. I remember when he met my daughter, I was, I was a little like, hey, Kim, take it easy, back up. And he wasn't doing anything. He just get nervous. You start seeing the character crazy. But I love that dude. He's great. They're all great.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, as, as great as Sons was. I mean, you got Oz lost a lot of crazy. I mean like those are, you know, you have four at minimum all time show. Yeah. You know, I feel like if you get on one of those, you're like, lucky. You're lucky. And you got, you know, major roles on all of them.
Harold Perrineau
That's what I say. I count myself as very lucky.
Kevin Clancy
So you have to tell me now your favorite one and rank them in order of importance.
Harold Perrineau
Okay, here we go. Ready? Don't anybody offended? No.
Kevin Clancy
I feel like Oz though. Oz, you know, we're living in what I think is like a television golden age, right. And, and Even probably like 10 years ago was really like Sopranos and Breaking Bad and everything at its peak.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
But like a lot of people always say Oz was that first one, right? That HBO drama that was like, holy, this is real acting. It's not a TV show. Like this is as good as any major movie. It's just that you watch a week to week, right? So I feel like that's got to be pretty cool to be a part of.
Harold Perrineau
Like actually, if I'm gonna be honest, it actually is my favorite one. Like it only because it really was the first hour long drama on television, on cable television, Right. They only had like, at that time they had, they had two comedies on them, one Larry Sanders show, and then they had something else, right? And so then we were the first hour long drama and hbo, to their, their credit, they would come and watch, you know, us shoot stuff. Like Chris Maloney would be there and some guy would go down him and he snap his neck and they go, the executives walk them. They go, okay.
Kevin Clancy
It was like you're gonna see.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You know, language, violence, sex, crazy.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You know, and then, and then it all went from there. So.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, I was talking to somebody recently and I was saying like, again, Oz is one of those shows. They really set up the stakes really well. That first season we had a character in the very first episode that everyone loved. Like, right. In the very first episode. And at the end of the episode.
John Feitelberg
They set him on in his cell.
Kevin Clancy
I really feel like when shows do that. It sets the tone.
Harold Perrineau
It sets the tone.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a money grab. We're not worried about ratings. Like, none of a story and we're telling it.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You know, so.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, we didn't have to worry about any of that.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Harold Perrineau
And then we wound up a while just being like, oh, you. What are those wacky actor guys? Come on. So it was hard to get a job.
Kevin Clancy
Were people like, you know, by it.
Harold Perrineau
Or they were just like. They were like, oh, you guys do that. Whatever wild thing that is over there. And so, like, we're still in the heyday of network television.
Kevin Clancy
Right.
Harold Perrineau
So they were like, I don't think we have anything for you. And I'm like, no, I'm an actor. Like, that was.
John Feitelberg
We're playing.
Harold Perrineau
This is not real.
Kevin Clancy
But do you feel now that, like, do you get revered for being a part of us?
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
People now.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, they do that.
John Feitelberg
I hope you got your.
Kevin Clancy
Just do. I can understand. No, that's what happens when you're ahead of your time. Right. People are like, holy shit. I don't know what to do with that. It turns out to be like, this was one of the greatest pieces of entertainment ever.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah. Yeah. So I'll be really lucky about it.
John Feitelberg
Do you. It's actually funny, I. In calculating your age, I made the mistake of forgetting Oz. But I was reading an article recently about, like, the 10 most important shows in HBO history. And one was, I actually forget one. Two was Inside the NFL and three was Larry Saunders. And then I believe Oz was four.
Harold Perrineau
Oh, wow.
John Feitelberg
And it was because it said the same type thing where it was like, it was the first hour long, yada, yada.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
John Feitelberg
Do you, like, look at HBO now or premium television now? And you're like, I helped build that.
Harold Perrineau
Once in a while ago. You're welcome. Yeah, you're welcome.
Kevin Clancy
It's true, though. Like, I don't know if Oz bombed or you guys sucked.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
Who literally knows where television.
John Feitelberg
Exactly.
Harold Perrineau
And that's all the credit to Tom Fontana. Like, while I love being a part of it, like, that's all a credit to the writer, Tom Fontana. It was his idea. It was his baby. And, like, we just got to roll along for the ride.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, for sure.
John Feitelberg
But sometimes a day later, drives by a mansion goes, I put that thing up.
Kevin Clancy
Well, that's kind of how it feels. Sure. He could say. I'm sure he'd say, I wrote a story, but I can't act. And it wouldn't come to life without.
Harold Perrineau
Right, right, right.
Kevin Clancy
Sports and, like, Coaching and building a team versus the guys who do it. And.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
There's a reason why it's all right. It all kind of comes together.
Harold Perrineau
I remember back in the day, I was a kid, and this is gonna be really long. I remember the first time I saw.
Kevin Clancy
Way back in the day, like 100.
Harold Perrineau
Years ago, years ago, I rode my horse over to the state. No, I remember the first time I saw Dr. J do this, like, layup from behind the.
Kevin Clancy
Under the back.
Harold Perrineau
Right. I was like, wow. And then, like, after that, like, everybody was like, wait, can we do that?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Sports, a lot of times has that where it's like certain boundaries that don't get passed.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
Certain things you don't do. And then a guy just, like, does it. Like, I'm gonna shoot from almost half court. Exactly. Right. Curry did it and everyone was like, wait, wait, everyone. Like little kids are doing right. Just take somebody to show you the way.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, exactly.
John Feitelberg
It's like in.
Harold Perrineau
Exactly.
John Feitelberg
What's the Will Ferrell movie? The basketball movie.
Kevin Clancy
Basketball. No, no, no.
John Feitelberg
We all know what I'm talking about. And when. When the ref blows a whistle after they dunk, he's like, foul.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, two.
John Feitelberg
Two fouls.
Harold Perrineau
You can't.
John Feitelberg
You're not allowed to do that. Right.
Kevin Clancy
It's like that.
Harold Perrineau
It changes the landscape. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Harold Perrineau
So, yeah, I feel, like, lucky to be part of that one.
Kevin Clancy
Yes. Now I'm a big fan of. From. Yeah, I'm watching from.
Harold Perrineau
Okay. Got it. I love it. Thank you.
Kevin Clancy
Yes. I really love it. I think it's amazing. I think one of the best parts of it is I'm into, like, weird sci fi shit. Right? But I think the dialogue in that show is so real.
Harold Perrineau
Got it.
Kevin Clancy
The last episode I just watched is you. And I forget. I love the show, but I always forget the names. The woman who runs Calling House Donna.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
The way you guys were arguing and you were like, I. I get it. It's just. Okay. Yes. That's how people in that spot really would have been like, I understand what you're talking about.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
Leave me alone for right now because it's up. Right. That was very, very real dialogue.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
As crazy as that said show is, there's something very real about it where it's like, that's what a person in this fucked up, weird world would be acting.
Harold Perrineau
Exactly. Yeah. John is a great.
Kevin Clancy
I just need right now, though.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
I need to know, and I need you to make me this promise.
Harold Perrineau
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
That we land the plane on this one.
Harold Perrineau
The plane will be landed I've heard.
Kevin Clancy
From the writers and the showrunners that have said, like, what's the connection to Lost is the same show.
Harold Perrineau
Our executive director is Jack Bender, right? Yes. And Jeff Pinkner was one of the writers on the second season of Us. He comes from that J.J. abrams camp guy. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
And so I feel like I've heard from them that, like, don't worry, we have, like, a plan. It's gonna go somewhere.
Harold Perrineau
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
But, like, it better.
Harold Perrineau
Okay. I guarantee you. And I'm saying this, like, I really know. The truth is, I asked them not to tell me.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, okay.
Harold Perrineau
I just asked them, are you gonna land the plane? I literally asked that. And they were like, 100. When we sold the show, we wouldn't even. We wouldn't take an offer. We wouldn't tell them the ending until we got an offer. And so lots of people like the show, but they were like, well, tell us the ending. They're like, make us the offer. They are going to land the plane. They keep saying it over and over and over because I'm just.
Kevin Clancy
I'm even. I'm shocked by season three now from Is like, we keep adding, like, it's new characters and new storylines, and I'm like, that's got. That's a lot to manage. Yeah, you are gonna land the plane and tie it all together.
Harold Perrineau
But, yeah, this year, the monsters are really mean. They're cruel.
Kevin Clancy
Dude, leaving that guy half dead on the half dead was like, when they.
Harold Perrineau
When they.
Kevin Clancy
Like My Town. I mean, I. I say that, you know, like, Lost is one of my favorite shows ever. I do think towards the end, they kind of didn't land the plane. I think the pendulum swung too far the other direction. Go back and watch it. I think it's amazing, right? Like, it's like we just kind of. I'm sure there was corporate stuff and bureaucratic whatever, but, like, Lost at its peak, I think is one of my favorite things ever.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
But there did. I think, after Loss and a couple other shows, even the Sopranos ending, there is this thing on TV now, like, you better. Like we say, land.
Harold Perrineau
Exactly.
Kevin Clancy
Did you. Do you feel that, like, as an actor where, like, being a part of Lost and then doing something else, was that something you care about or did you think it ended?
Harold Perrineau
No, I really, really cared about it. Like, when I. When I first read the script and I was like, well, let me start off like this. They knew Jack Bender and Jeff Pinkner and John Griffin, who's the writer, and it was his first show. Right. They knew like, there were going to be a million comparisons to Lost. They knew it from the very beginning. So originally, when they were casting, they were like, we don't want anybody from Lost, right? We don't want anyone at all from Lost. And so my buddy who's the casting director is like, I don't know.
John Feitelberg
I think.
Harold Perrineau
I think Harold is the guy. And they were like, we don't want to.
Kevin Clancy
And so I can understand that thinking, yeah, yeah.
Harold Perrineau
They were like, we don't want to. And then I read it and then I talked to them again. I was like, I don't know. I might. I think I might be that dude. Yeah, I think I am. And they're like, maybe. And so. So we always knew that, right? That being said, we actually have the fortunate, the fortune, like we did in Oz, to have a young network that's like, do what you want, right? So MGM is letting us, like, do the show that we want to do. And. And that's. And that's how we're getting away with some of the stuff. So we get. There's a lot of, like, cursing sometimes. And like, you said that lot, the dialogue. But we don't have anybody that we have to worry about sponsors and we got to worry about fixing this or that or elongated so that we have a lot more. We have about a certain amount of seasons.
Kevin Clancy
Can you give me that number? Is it over or under twice the amount you're out of out right now?
Harold Perrineau
It is. It is, it is. Okay, so it is under the amount we have now.
Kevin Clancy
That's good. I think that's good because I think that's what. What I mean, I'm speaking. I've never been in the industry, but I feel like what happens is you.
Harold Perrineau
Have a hit, right?
Kevin Clancy
And you have XYZ episodes left. And then the. The sponsors and are like, they're like triple that, right? You try to meet somewhere in the middle and you it up and then.
Harold Perrineau
You have an episode about somebody fixing the crease in their pants.
John Feitelberg
What are we talking about?
Kevin Clancy
What is the Lost cast? Think of the Nikki and Paolo episode from Lost. I mean, they just disappeared, right? It was just an hour of television with two people who were not on the show.
John Feitelberg
But I wholeheartedly agree with all that in dramas and things like that. But I saw someone say the other day where it was like, we gotta bring back meaningless episodes for comedies.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
Every comedy now is like the Bear, where you're like, is it a comedy?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
And like every. Everything's like a plot line, right? Whereas, like, I think this example was like there was an episode of Friends where Joey just played baseball all day.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
John Feitelberg
And he never touched the ball again.
Harold Perrineau
I think that. Yeah, I think you're right.
John Feitelberg
You just turn your brain off and you're like, yeah, I don't know. Like the episodes were 30 seasons long. 25 seasons. 25 episodes.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, that really. I mean, Lost was. Yeah. 20. What, two episodes?
Harold Perrineau
22 episodes. 24. Sometimes. That is a lot of.
Kevin Clancy
Much more. That's a lot than, you know nowadays. It's like 10 max. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
I mean the Diplomat just came out. Season two just came out.
Kevin Clancy
Six episodes. That's like, you know, a quarter of long.
John Feitelberg
They're great, don't get me wrong. But it's like, it's six episodes.
Kevin Clancy
Episode.
Harold Perrineau
It's like watching an extended movie, right?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Harold Perrineau
Because you know it's going to start and it's going to end like.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah.
John Feitelberg
What do you think birthed all that with the. Because I know the BBC used to be like that. Like BBC was always like, I watched Luther and like Luther has. I think season four is two episodes.
Kevin Clancy
Just make a move.
John Feitelberg
But I did always respect that about, about the BBC shows where they were just like, we're good. We don't know how long the story is, but that's how many episodes are going to be. Whatever, Whatever great story we came up with this year. If it's a two hour story or if it's an eight hour story, whatever it may be. And I always thought that was cool until every show started doing it some length.
Kevin Clancy
I want to dig into a show.
John Feitelberg
Yeah, yeah.
Harold Perrineau
I think there's a couple of factors there. Like one, the streaming, like Orange is the New Black I think was the first one. Just like put all the episodes out and then everybody started binging that first thing that you see. Oh, we can binge it all like, but you don't want to binge 24.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Harold Perrineau
So that's one. And so. And then the other thing I think is the thing we were talking about. I think at some point even the writers were like, we're diluting our stories because. Oh, you guys want more to sell more. Johnson and Johnson baby powder. Nothing against Johnson and Johnson baby powder. We love it.
John Feitelberg
Get some sable on you. That was really good. I learned from the best. That's really good. I didn't even think of that.
Harold Perrineau
And it. That's my thing.
Kevin Clancy
So. Sable bourbon. Yes. You said you linked up with your. Your buddies. Like your buddies.
John Feitelberg
Yes.
Harold Perrineau
So I'm in the movie. A couple of movies. Called the Best man, the Best Man Holiday. And then we have the Best man final chapters. So it's me, it's Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, and the writer of them, Malcolm D. Lee. And in order to get a chance to work together again, we came together to do this.
Kevin Clancy
To get rich.
Harold Perrineau
To get rich. And a little drunk on the way.
Kevin Clancy
I like this.
Harold Perrineau
So, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Bottled in brotherhood.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it really is about our friendship and time we work together and all that stuff. And so it's delicious and a little bit early, but.
Kevin Clancy
Do you want to start drinking?
Harold Perrineau
I'm not gonna, but you can. I got one more. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're gonna love it.
Kevin Clancy
You're gonna.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm telling you, it's beautiful, it's smooth. And. And what we're interested in doing is creating more community, man. Like sharing it with our friends and our family and holidays. You're gonna love it.
Kevin Clancy
You get a new episode of from and Pop a Bottle and.
Harold Perrineau
Well, the first couple episodes of From, I was. I was doing a lot of drunk tweeting.
John Feitelberg
Oh, my God, did you see what just happened?
Kevin Clancy
They killed tangent. I mean, I'm chronically on the Internet like all the time and I'm a big TV like, junk monkey. I have not seen an Internet reaction quite like, I don't know, you know, the, the big deaths of television, the front community were. They were crushed. I mean, spoiler alert. But there was a death in the show.
Harold Perrineau
It was brutal.
Kevin Clancy
I was like, I felt it watching it and then I hopped on. On Twitter and I was like, oh, everybody felt this.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, no, that's. It's a brutal one.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Harold Perrineau
So that's what.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, man.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The whole thing is so, so brutal. And so, yeah, the fans really felt it.
Kevin Clancy
Who do you think? I mean, Boyd is a real stand up, Stand up. He's a good dude.
Harold Perrineau
I think so.
Kevin Clancy
And I feel like Michael. Michael was kind of like a misunderstood, you know, you know, he's doing what he needs to do for his son.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
But then cross some lines.
Harold Perrineau
Right?
Kevin Clancy
So I was thinking the other day about, like, what if you drop Michael into the from town?
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Like how he would. Like, I think.
Harold Perrineau
I think Michael's a stand up dude. I think, like, he didn't know what to do with this kid. Like, I always think of Michael as a guy who just got screwed over. Like, look, he was with this girl and then she was like, ah, you're a loser. So I'm gonna leave you and I'm going someplace else. It's like, you know, sometimes you're in the. You know, you. You don't have a job, and. And so. Actually, I might have some with you. She brought it, actually. And then he goes to get his kid, and, you know, the guy's like, the dad. The stepdad is like, yeah, I can't take care of him. It's like, oh, this is crazy. And they take this kid, and then you get on a plane crash, and you're on an island, and somebody snatches the kid.
John Feitelberg
It's crazy. It is such a funny thing to be like, I don't like the way this person's acting in this insane situation.
Kevin Clancy
I would never do that. He's being kind of a jerk.
John Feitelberg
Right, guys? There's smoke monsters and polar bears. Like, reality doesn't count.
Harold Perrineau
Exactly.
John Feitelberg
Well, cheers, gentlemen, to a great career, man.
Kevin Clancy
To a great career and a great.
Harold Perrineau
I hope you guys love disabled, because I really do.
John Feitelberg
Oh, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Really good, man.
John Feitelberg
Oh, yeah.
Harold Perrineau
You like that? Dude?
John Feitelberg
That was like. That was like me guessing 47, then 61 hit. I was like, hang on a second here.
Harold Perrineau
That little after thing.
Kevin Clancy
Were you. Were you involved in this process? Because we. We put out a bottle of rye a couple years ago when we went up to Whistle Pig Farm, and we did the whole taste testing and, like. And, you know, I don't know what I'm talking about, but I know what I like and don't like and kind of talk through all that. Did you do that whole process?
Harold Perrineau
We did the whole process because in the movies, the best man, we always drink when we're. When we're commuting, when we're playing cards, when there's somebody who has trouble, it's always some sort of brown alcohol. Right? And so when we went to Bespoken, who's. Who's our distiller? We were like, we want to do something in the brown. So we tried the ryes, we tried straight whiskeys. We tried bourbons. We did them all. And then this was the one that was. We were all like, that one.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, right.
Harold Perrineau
That one right there.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know exactly what the. What words to use, but that. Exactly.
Harold Perrineau
But that's the one. And we all were in agreement. And it was like. They were like, of course you picked that one. That's a.
John Feitelberg
It's a great one.
Harold Perrineau
So they have some really good. Yeah, right. You know, there've been a lot of.
John Feitelberg
Times on this show where I try something. I'm like, this is the best. Go buy It. This is a real one.
Harold Perrineau
It's really.
John Feitelberg
This is really good.
Harold Perrineau
And, and that some of the cocktails that we make are great. They're.
Kevin Clancy
They're really old fashions and whatnot. You drink old fashioned. How do you take it?
John Feitelberg
I do them.
Harold Perrineau
I do them all, actually. I drink it straight a lot. I drink it on the rocks. And I also, like. Because, like, I have a lot of friends who are a little scared of bourbon. And so we got a bunch of different cocktails that we make. Some with coffee and some blueberry.
John Feitelberg
Like.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah, just like a.
Harold Perrineau
We can do a whiskey sour with a bourbon, you know, that's dope.
Kevin Clancy
It's a good business to be in the alcohol game because that ain't ever going away. Acting comes and goes. Exactly.
Harold Perrineau
Getting drunk, always.
John Feitelberg
We were, we were just asked to talk about some of your characters. And I've always wondered with actors, like, do you have a specific role where you were. Like, that was easy. Like, I, like, I didn't even have to try. This character is just me. Like, I didn't even have to act here.
Harold Perrineau
No, not.
Kevin Clancy
I feel like you would be a boy type of guy.
Harold Perrineau
Oh, do you?
Kevin Clancy
I just met you. But. And like the zombies start knocking on the door. I think I would, I would go, what do we do?
Harold Perrineau
I've got some experience. TV experience, but let's see. Yeah, I don't know. Look, I try to take stuff from my life and bring it to the characters and Lost was kind of the only one because we really didn't know what we were going to shoot and I hadn't worked like that. That some of Michael's instincts are really just my instincts because I just didn't know. But I wouldn't say that Michael is me. Right, right. But I can't say that there's anything that.
Kevin Clancy
What, what, what if. What about Michael? Like, just, Just like fatherhood and just father. You're a Brooklyn guy, right?
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
You live here for a while or do you live. I'm assuming you live.
Harold Perrineau
I live in la. After. After Oz. After I did Oz and then I did the Matrix and then like somehow filming wasn't happening here as much, so we moved.
Kevin Clancy
But. So you did a huge chunk of your life in New York?
Harold Perrineau
I'm from like.
Kevin Clancy
You consider yourself a New Yorker? Yeah, yeah. Right, right. Brooklyn. Brooklyn. I know it's probably cliche and a little bit corny and I'm sure people outside of New York like, roll their eyes, but I do think like when you're acting or doing a role like that there's probably some of that New York in you.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly, exactly. Right. That comes up and so. And I bring some of those. Those things to it. And so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every once in a while, even in. In. In the first season of From, I said, I say to Donna, we're doing a ceremony for them to choose the rocks or the whatever. And Donna is talking. I go, shut the up. You had a lady there like that. And I was like, oh, what happened? And my dad was like, yeah, I know that that sounds exactly like you.
Eddie
I was like, oh, does it?
Harold Perrineau
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. My wife was like, yeah, so exactly what I'm talking about.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah. You don't even recognize it, but like that's. It feels like from Brooklyn.
Kevin Clancy
Can you give me anything on from, like. I mean. Well, actually you can because you don't know where. You don't know the ending, right?
Harold Perrineau
I actually don't know.
Kevin Clancy
Give me what you're guessing then. Talk like that. Like you can talk so many of these things. I feel like everybody already go. Automatically goes to. They're dead.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
They're in purgatory. That's a big thing in law.
Harold Perrineau
Right, Right.
Kevin Clancy
And then there's always the like. That always is the kind of a theme because there was that show. What was the other one that was so good but so bad that they had a plane crash.
Harold Perrineau
Oh. Manifest. I almost called it Pages.
John Feitelberg
Like pages Egypt.
Kevin Clancy
So people automatically go there, you know, like where. What do you think is going on?
Harold Perrineau
So here's what I do know. They're not dead and we're not in purgatory. So.
John Feitelberg
Confirmed.
Harold Perrineau
Confirmed.
Kevin Clancy
Absolutely not.
Harold Perrineau
We're not dead. We're not in purgatory. So that's. That's what I do know. I also know that there. That we are only at the tip of the iceberg for whatever these things are.
Kevin Clancy
Wow.
Harold Perrineau
That season three, we're starting to get to know whatever this place is. And so that being said, you know, my guess is it's always been like some type of experiment, but there also might be some kind of time continuum.
Kevin Clancy
Well, the thing about you can't get out, like physically can't get out. Think there's some sort of sci Fi thing.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, there's some sort of sci fi.
Kevin Clancy
If you were just trapped in a town because someone wasn't letting you leave, I would think it's like an experiment. Like with the M. Night Shalom movie, the Village.
Harold Perrineau
Right?
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Like choosing to keep you trapped.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
But if there is, like, you physically cannot get out of this town by driving in one direction.
Harold Perrineau
Right, Right.
Kevin Clancy
Gotta be some. Some kind of triangle shit.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Clancy
That's the stuff I like. So I get nerdy with that.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah. Yeah. And so I'm really curious to see if that's what it is. If it's also some kind of do other science loop.
Kevin Clancy
Like, do other actors know just. Or did you.
Harold Perrineau
Nobody knows.
Kevin Clancy
Nobody knows.
Harold Perrineau
Nobody knows.
Kevin Clancy
If you wanted to know, would you be allowed to know?
Harold Perrineau
I would. That's the perks of being like.
John Feitelberg
You've seen the poster, right?
Harold Perrineau
I could. I could ask them, but I can't. But no, that's.
Kevin Clancy
Yo. So, so that's a lot of. I feel like if that was me, I would ask.
John Feitelberg
See, would you?
Kevin Clancy
I, I, I, I think I would like to believe that I would be like, no. For the. I want to be like the viewer, and I wanted to be surprised and for the craft and all that. And then like, after, like, two weeks, I'm like, you gotta tell me.
John Feitelberg
I remember seeing a clip of Brian Cranston talking about Breaking Bad, and Vince Gilligan made the decision they only get one episode at a time. And he was talking about how much he loved that, because when he's doing the scene with Jesse where he's got the gun to his head, and he's like, if you think I could do this, if you think I could poison a boy, pull it. He didn't think he did it. And then, like. And then, like, three episodes later, he's like, oh, my God, I did it.
Harold Perrineau
Right? And that's the reason. That's exactly the reason. Because subconsciously, if you. If you know the ending or if you know the thing, you'll be like, if you think I didn't do it, go ahead. You know, you'll do one little thing, and somebody goes, oh, did he?
John Feitelberg
Yeah, he might know something.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah. And I don't ever want anybody to think I'll say this, that I know.
Kevin Clancy
That if something goes left and Boyd is somehow a bad guy or a villain, I'm gonna be crushed. Listen, I went through however many goddamn seasons of Game of Thrones rooting for Jon Snow's ass, right? Not pay off at all. I'm gonna call up your boys. We got.
Harold Perrineau
Was actually surprised that. That the girl was.
Kevin Clancy
Brother. I think everybody else was. You know, I think she was. That's the perfect example of, like, they just, I. You know, I mean, who knows really, what went on? But, yeah, they had. They. They were supposed to go on and do Star wars, and they. The book wasn't finished and, you know, and spiraled out of control for them and they just were like, let's make this beloved character go crazy and burn everyone alive.
Harold Perrineau
Is that what happened?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, they. Well, so, I mean, that's, that's. The fans speculate the two, the two showrunners were chosen to do the next Star wars that was like, coming up, right? The author, George R.R. martin, never finished the books.
Harold Perrineau
Got it.
Kevin Clancy
And I think there was some, like, time constraints and some fights with the network about how to wrap it up. And I think they just like, zipped it up real fast. A lot of people got it.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah. Do you watch your. I'm not gonna lie, it's early. Gentlemen.
John Feitelberg
I had like a sip. I like.
Kevin Clancy
All right.
Harold Perrineau
I'm sweating a little bit. I'm sorry.
Kevin Clancy
I'm sure your teens love it, but you can't, you can't bring a bottle of whiskey to everybody.
Harold Perrineau
Just strap in.
Kevin Clancy
Just cancel, cancel. Call up the boys. We'll all hang out.
John Feitelberg
Man, I love it here with you guys.
Harold Perrineau
I love it here.
Kevin Clancy
Well, you were saying off camera that you, you kind of had this idea of like a laid back chilling your on your couch and watch sports. And. Yeah, the guys and ESPN said no.
Harold Perrineau
They said no.
John Feitelberg
Yeah.
Harold Perrineau
Years and years and years ago because. And, and I think they probably said no because part of my pitch was I don't know anything about sports.
Kevin Clancy
The worldwide leader in sports might have something to say about that.
Harold Perrineau
Right? But. But the idea was to have always to have experts on.
Kevin Clancy
Right.
Harold Perrineau
People who really knew it. But then like, instead of suits.
Kevin Clancy
Let me ask what happens. Let me tell you something about the word experts.
Harold Perrineau
All right?
Kevin Clancy
There's like one expert. Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes are telling you about football, right? Listen to them.
Harold Perrineau
Listen to them.
Kevin Clancy
The rest of these guys are just saying what you know.
Harold Perrineau
Got it.
Kevin Clancy
You know, everybody, games win and lose, coin flips, right? You know, there's some people smarter than the others, but when it comes to sports.
Harold Perrineau
See, this is the kind of information.
John Feitelberg
I remember, so it makes sense. Kevin and I were at the super bowl once and we went out to dinner with like some of our friends and some people who were producers at cbs, right? And the producers at CBS were talking to us. They didn't know we were friends with like the on air people. And the producers didn't know us. So they're like, so you guys do sports? And we're like, kind of. But like, not like you guys. Like, we don't really know what we're talking about. And they go, let us tell you a little secret. They don't know either. Oh, really?
Harold Perrineau
Really?
John Feitelberg
And they.
Harold Perrineau
Got it.
John Feitelberg
It is like, I remember we have a couple, like, you know, former NFL players who work here, and Tara Luan always. I remember him, he being like, if you're not in the huddle and heard the play called.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
John Feitelberg
You can't talk about what was supposed to happen on that play because he's going, we have five plays that look like this. And they. It's like there's 11 moving pieces. It's. It's hard to know what you're talking about.
Harold Perrineau
Right, right.
John Feitelberg
When people, like, you know, like me, you're like, why played high school football. That is a different sport entirely than what you're watching.
Harold Perrineau
Exactly, Exactly. That's wild. That's wild. Dude.
Kevin Clancy
I.
Harold Perrineau
This is a great show.
Kevin Clancy
I cannot believe how fast that 45 minutes went. It's over.
John Feitelberg
I know.
Harold Perrineau
Is that it?
Kevin Clancy
I checked my phone thinking we have 15 more. Yeah, that was it. I'm trying to think if there's anything else, because I just. I was such a Lost fan.
Harold Perrineau
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
I love Sun. Is there anything else we really got to get out of this guy before he leaves?
John Feitelberg
I want to know a show recommendation.
Harold Perrineau
Show recommendation. Yeah.
John Feitelberg
What do you watch, Kevin?
Harold Perrineau
What I was watching when I was in this is really weird. What would give me, like, a little bit of a respite is Peaky Blinders and stuff like that.
John Feitelberg
I think that just rapidly. I think the movie just wraps.
Harold Perrineau
Oh, did they think so?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
John Feitelberg
I could be wrong, but they've certainly.
Kevin Clancy
Been shooting Kelly Murphy's, so.
Harold Perrineau
Oh, my God, he's good.
Kevin Clancy
Tom Hardy and All the brothers.
Harold Perrineau
So good. Yeah. Yeah. So what blind is before you go?
Kevin Clancy
Like, I mean, what would be. What would be next? I mean, from. Is just prime time cooking. You got a few more years of that, so.
Harold Perrineau
Right.
Kevin Clancy
You don't have to worry. But is there something you want to do? A movie of some sort? A reunion of some sort? Is there anything left on your resume that you really. Bucket list type shit, right? Because you are 61.
John Feitelberg
You're getting up there.
Harold Perrineau
You really don't have a lot more time, bro.
John Feitelberg
I know.
Harold Perrineau
You look good.
Kevin Clancy
No, no, I.
Harold Perrineau
You know, here's the thing. I've said it my whole career, anytime I pick what I want to do, it's never as fun as, like, what shows up. Do you know what I mean? And so, like, so, like, I just let it come because I like to be open to anything, and I like to try everything and so if we get to do another best man, that'll be good. If we get to do it drunk, that'd be good. If not, you know, I mean, I have a couple of things that I've been producing, and so we're taking them around and see if those things will happen and. But as far as acting, I. I actually don't. I don't really, really know. You're like, I'm gonna look and see what happens and see what comes up. Yeah. Just hang out, dude. It's.
Kevin Clancy
It's been a pleasure, man. I really. Your resume is top notch.
Harold Perrineau
Thanks, bro.
Kevin Clancy
Your shows are great.
Harold Perrineau
Thank you, man.
Kevin Clancy
I appreciate it. Come and talk about how we don't know about sports and get drunk.
Harold Perrineau
What are you doing tomorrow?
John Feitelberg
My favorite. Bath time.
Kevin Clancy
We're always here, man.
Harold Perrineau
I got three bottles. One for you, one for you.
John Feitelberg
Like Oprah. Thank you so much.
Harold Perrineau
Thanks, gentlemen.
John Feitelberg
Thank you very much.
Kevin Clancy
Harold, I'm totally sweating. Sa.
Jackie
