KFC Radio – “We Flashback to Action Bronson Threatening to Throw KFC Through a Wall + More of our Best Clips”

Hosts: Kevin Clancy (KFC) and Feitelberg (with guest Pat McAfee)
Date: December 11, 2025

Episode Overview

This episode is a mix of raw reflection and classic chaos as KFC and Feitelberg (joined by guest Pat McAfee) head into the final stretch of KFC Radio’s historic run. The hosts reminisce about their best (and worst) moments, revisit viral debates and infamous interview stories (including the legendary Action Bronson dust-up), and discuss the unpredictable pains of homeownership. It’s part roast, part therapy session, part time capsule—a proper bar stool for long-time listeners and newcomers alike.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. KFC’s Home Renovation Nightmare

Timestamps: 02:03–13:46

• KFC vents about a two-year ordeal: After firing his unreliable contractor, he describes the endless pitfalls and why transitioning to a new contractor is its own hell.
• Hiring mistakes: “I hired multiple of the wrong people… a girl that was like a designer…and she brought me this guy…” (KFC, 03:13)
• Construction industry skepticism: Pat and KFC rail against the accepted wisdom of ‘double the time, triple the price’ and the absence of accountability.
• Personal toll: The renovations have “completely fucked me over the last two years of my plans” (KFC, 10:48). Kids have gone without playrooms; KFC’s work ambitions at home have suffered; the family is confined to a single room.
• Seasoned advice: “People are going to tell you to buy a house. Don’t do that…Buy yourself a cookie-cutter McMansion...At least it’s done and clean and you never have to fucking worry” (KFC, 24:53).

2. Digital Identity & Privacy Paranoia

Timestamps: 29:28–35:24

• Digital passports and the risks of handing your life to the government: Much of your personal information is already out there, but making a government-run, all-in-one digital ID is a new leap.
• Lost in the Noise: Both share how their email inboxes are now useless wastelands. Talk turns to “resetting” digital (and real-life) identities and how living under constant digital connection is exhausting.

3. Podcast Reflections: Meltdowns, Money Woes & Making It

Timestamps: 39:08–44:52

• Early-career and personal financial struggles: KFC shares a time after his divorce when he had literally $0 in his bank account.
• Vulnerability and bouncing back: “Divorce bills were paid on the backs of Cameo...I hit $0 as like a 30-something-year-old man” (KFC, 40:38).
• Podcasting as a lifeline and career: The guys reflect on how podcasting outgrew expectations and provided (sometimes barely) a living.

4. Best-Of Clip Flashbacks

Timestamps: 44:52–75:55

a) Timothy Chalamet “Would Be a Pretty Girl” Clip

Timestamps: 45:25–53:16

• Revisiting one of KFC Radio’s most viral moments: Feitelberg’s hilarious and oddly prescient response to the question “Who would be better with the other gender’s parts?”
• Quote: “Timothy Chalamet.” (Feitelberg, 49:05)
• KFC: “You nailed it. I mean…this is back when Timothy Chalamet...movie people knew, but the rest of the world didn’t.”
• Reflection: The guys laugh at how the answer has aged remarkably well, given Chalamet’s career and sex symbol status.

b) Interviews Gone Wrong — Seth Rogen & More

Timestamps: 53:16–58:50

• Seth Rogen interview mishap: The hosts analyze how their interviewing style (late plug for his charity, wild hypotheticals) may have contributed to Rogen’s discomfort.
• Practice learned: Guests need to feel safe—start with their plug, then move to “KFC Radio” insanity.
• “We absolutely botched how we do guest interviews” (Feitelberg, 53:54).

c) Action Bronson Threatens to Throw KFC Through a Wall

Timestamps: 61:03–67:59

• One of KFC Radio’s most infamous moments: KFC asks Bronson to address his rap beef; Bronson’s hostile reaction (“I’d like to slam you through a wall right now”) becomes legend.
• Reflection: “If you are involved in a very public rap beef, rap fans want to hear about that. And if you are so soft that you can’t even talk about it…” (KFC, 63:38)
• Aftermath: Bronson storms out, plans to collaborate with Barstool collapse. The hosts are unrepentant, standing by the validity of the question but laugh at the chaos it caused.

d) Interview Misses and Podcast Growing Pains

Timestamps: 67:59–78:11

• Clashes with guests (e.g., Kathy Griffin, Shane Gillis) often came down to tone or mismatched expectations, not actual malice.
• Early Barstool culture and the difficulty of navigating topics like cancellation, Twitter “teams,” and interview prep quality.

5. Hosts’ Greatest Clashes & Silliest Moments

Timestamps: 78:11–94:19

a) “Denver Soup Debate”

Timestamps: 79:58–83:07

• Reminiscing about the most heated food order mix-up: Did “just soup” mean soup and sandwich or only soup? “This is gonna be a big point of contention because it is...a situation where I’m right.” (KFC, 81:14)

b) “Peanut, the Squirrel” Debate

Timestamps: 83:08–86:08

• Feitelberg argues for law and order; KFC champions squirrel celebrity status: “Can you name me one other squirrel? Most important squirrel in the world today.” (KFC, 84:31)
• Reflects the podcast’s blend of idiocy and deeply held, ludicrous stakes.

c) The “Bert Kreischer Ball-off”

Timestamps: 88:48–94:19

• Podcasting at its bro-iest: Bert, KFC, and Feitelberg compare (and show) their balls live in-studio.
• Legendary exchange:
  • “You have to say out loud, ‘Bert, I really want to see you naked.’” – Bert Kreischer (90:35)
  • “My balls are pretty tight right now.” – Feitelberg (91:10)
• Takeaway: Sheer, unfiltered fun; the moment captures the looseness and authenticity that have always defined KFC Radio.

6. Shoutouts and Unsung Heroes

Timestamps: 94:19–100:10

• Honoring old producers, interns, and fans: The podcast owes much to the people behind the scenes who sorted voicemails, edited episodes, and provided grunt work for little money.
• Touching letter: A longtime listener credits KFC Radio with inspiring a life change—quitting his cubicle job to become a teacher. “KFC Radio is the reason I barely listen to music…” (Listener, 97:47)

Flow & Tone Notes

• Dynamic: The hosts balance genuine laughter and vulnerability (especially around failures, regrets, and friendships).
• Nostalgic/Reflective: With the show winding down, there’s a tone of wistfulness but also the same energy of “guys being guys” at the bar arguing over nonsense.

Final Thoughts

This episode is a love letter to diehard Stoolies and podcast fans: a highlight reel of inside jokes, viral fights, raw venting, and self-deprecating wisdom. While the show’s end approaches, this episode emphasizes that the true legacy of KFC Radio is in the dumb debates, classic disasters, and the way it forged and inspired a community—one that’s probably still arguing about “just soup.”
