Roan
How's your quad?
Sass
Weak.
Roan
I was trying to strengthen quad this morning. Is that quivering?
Sass
Yeah, yeah, it's quivering.
Harry
Geez.
Sass
Can't even support my own leg.
Roan
You really have been shut in this weekend. You can't straighten your leg without a quivering.
Sass
I was literally just. I was like just mad.
Harry
Dude, I got something weird. Which is that when I pick up a drink and hold it in my left hand, my left hand starts to tremble.
Sass
I literally can't pick up anything without trembling.
Harry
Really? It's.
Sass
I have a constant tremble.
Harry
Is that like. What do you think that is?
Roan
Als?
Sass
My mom took me to the doctor for it like multiple times as a kid. Yeah, they just said it's like nerve. Something with my nerve.
Harry
You don't think it's because Gabapentin, we have something in common with Tom Hanks character in Saving Private Ryan? No, because every time he would pick up his canteen, his hand would shake.
Sass
Well, that's probably shell shock.
Roan
Is there maybe a. That's Like a repressed shell shock that you guys have.
Harry
Do you think we.
Roan
Or maybe from bombing so much?
Sass
I don't know what it is. I've had shaky hands my entire life, and I've never been able to fix it. Like, I've tried. Like, I did, like, forearm workouts for years. I did.
Roan
You should have done more than that.
Sass
I did everything, and it never changed. So I just.
Roan
You're talking about more than four.
Harry
You don't think that. You don't think that our hands would steady behind a 50 cal?
Sass
No, I think mine would for sure.
Harry
That's what. That's. What I'm saying is that's.
Sass
I think yours would be gittier, yours would be shaken, like, more than ever.
Harry
Why?
Sass
It's not built like that to kill.
Roan
He's not built to kill.
Sass
No.
Harry
I've come closer to killing someone than you have.
Sass
I don't know about that.
Roan
That guy that broke into your house, you chased him down, down the block.
Harry
No.
Sass
Chased him down in the nude?
Harry
Yeah. Trying to think of the closest I've ever come. I mean, maybe you've. Maybe driving. You've come close.
Sass
Driving.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
I'm a phenomenal driver. I guarantee I'm a better driver than both of you.
Harry
Why?
Roan
Why did you say me?
Sass
I've driven with both of you.
Roan
What?
Sass
It's like being in a fucking Cessna going through a blizzard.
Harry
What?
Roan
When have you driven with me?
Sass
I've definitely. I've driven with you multiple times. What are you talking about? When I've known you for seven years.
Roan
So when have you driven with me?
Sass
I don't know the exact times. I've definitely driven with you until you
Roan
produce the dates cap.
Sass
No, it's not.
Roan
I think that Francis is a very.
Sass
Francis is. Francis is a good driver.
Roan
He's smooth as hell. And I don't mind if I. What if I'm the worst driver in the group?
Sass
Yeah. You should be ashamed.
Harry
I've driven with Roan. I don't think he's that bad.
Sass
He's not good.
Harry
I think he's pretty good.
Roan
I also like. My ego's not telling me I have to be the best driver in the group right now. Your fragile ego's like, I'm the best. I'm Tokyo drifting out here. You're not.
Sass
Oh, that's the thing. I'm not Tokyo drifting. I'm very tend to.
Roan
You drive like old lady.
Sass
Yeah, exactly.
Roan
That's not good.
Sass
Yes, it is safe.
Roan
No, it's not.
Harry
I think good driving is a combination of being safe. While also being efficient. Yeah, Getting, getting us there as quickly as possible while not, while not getting
Sass
there at a reasonable time. I think that's not, I don't go for as quick as possible.
Harry
Do you know that?
Sass
Let's, let's meet the eta.
Harry
Every time we bring up the fact that you camp in the left lane and hold up traffic, you raise your mile per hour that you were by about five to ten, bro. I mean, the first time you told that story, you were going like 70. And then you're like, I'm going 85.
Sass
I, I just remember, like, it was like, it was like if, like we're in the office right now, it's. There's a blizzard happening. There's no one here. Right. It's empty. It would be like if you were walking down the hallway and there was someone walking directly behind you and you were like, why don't you just. We have thousands of square feet here. Why don't you just take another, you know, just move.
Roan
I think it's more like if you were like Spider Manning across the entire hallway and it's empty and someone probably
Sass
was on like a six lane highway and there's no one else on the street.
Harry
I think it's blizzard. I think it'd be more like if there was a section of the office that was a like moving walkway, like in the airport, and you got on, on it and you just stood and put your bags to your left and right.
Sass
Oh, no, no.
Harry
And said, it's moving. I'm gonna get there. Why would I walk?
Sass
But it would be, it would be similar to if someone was camping on the moving walkway, which is by far. It's the fattest thing someone could ever do. And it would be like if someone did that and then you had enough room to get by them, but instead of getting by them, you just stood directly behind them and were just like breathing on the back of their neck the whole time.
Roan
I was at a casino in Connecticut, walking up a stairway or an escalator and there were two women, fat drunk women, holding their drinks, like looking at each other, just wedged in. And I was like, excuse me. And she was like, really? It pissed me off so much. Yes. I said yes. Really?
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
What do you mean? I'm trying to get somewhere?
Sass
I think the only time it's acceptable to not move on a moving platform, an escalator, if we're, if we're counting the walkway as an escalator.
Harry
Well, there's a big difference between those two, though.
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
You have to Walk on the moving walkway. You don't have to walk on the escalator.
Sass
I think you have. I think you should walk. I mean, unless you have big luggage. I get. But, like, I think everyone should be going down.
Harry
Walking down the escalator. I mean, honest, honestly, there is a danger element to that if you have stairs. If you fall down the escalator, you're dead.
Sass
You're going to die.
Harry
You're dead.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Even if the stairs don't kill you, you're going to get sucked under.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
You're going come back out.
Sass
You're getting in as caraccio.
Harry
Yeah. You're coming out the other end.
Sass
But I still think. I think if you're capable, you should be going down, really.
Roan
And up. It's an escalator. Like, it's a stairway. Like, up.
Harry
Up is crazy. You're going twice the force of gravity.
Sass
Yeah. You got to enjoy.
Roan
It feels amazing. Have you ever walked up an escalator? You feel like you're taking off?
Harry
I don't like walking up an escalator. For some reason, I feel like I'm doing high knees through sand.
Roan
I think you slowed me down recently when I was walking up an escalator.
Harry
Did I?
Roan
Are you serious?
Sass
You might struggle on.
Harry
The only time I'd be running up an escalator is if, like, I saw my child up ahead of me and I was like, he's not getting off the right way. That kid's going around. That kid's going under and around.
Sass
Have you guys ever tried to go up, like, the down? Yeah, it's fun.
Harry
It's called the StairMaster.
Sass
It's hard.
Harry
It is hard.
Sass
Especially if you do it.
Harry
Getting off is hard.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
You ever go down the up?
Sass
No.
Harry
That's easier.
Sass
Scary, almost.
Roan
You think there's a regulation speed for those things?
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
Or do you think that there's some that are faster than others?
Sass
I bet, like. Because I bet if you go to, like, Japan, I bet they're moving at 70 miles per hour.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Well, Japan, everybody stands to one side in a nice single file, so you can zoom by. If you want to walk, they give you the option, which is what pissed me off. These fat.
Sass
They're so tight. They're teeny tiny.
Harry
How do you guys feel around each other? I'm glad we're on this topic. Do you want to start the episode, by the way?
Roan
Sure.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
The Japanese probably stand, like, four across on them on the walking escalator.
Roan
No. What do you mean? They're the most polite society Teeny tiny. You got them all wrong. And they're not that tiny. I think you're thinking of the Chinese.
Sass
Maybe. I could be, but. Okay. Welcome to the Son of a Boy dad podcast. It is. It is.
Roan
Or the Vietnamese.
Sass
It is February 23rd.
Roan
Or the Laotians.
Sass
It's 1:45pm But I think we started around 1:30.
Harry
This is an important. Do you want to give us a clap? Yeah, sure.
Sass
Well, you kind of just hopped in.
Harry
Well, I know, but I need that. I want to hear how sticky your hands are today.
Sass
That was no stick at all.
Harry
No stick.
Sass
I was like. I was like someone punching a baseball mitt.
Harry
Yeah. Clapping cheeks, Harry. Or actually, both of you. So how much do you guys believe in. If there is. Let's say that there's a staircase down the subway and there's a railing down the middle. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sass
I know that.
Harry
The right side of it is for going up, and the left side is for going down.
Sass
That staircase is for anyone who wants to do anything on that staircase.
Harry
Come on, man. Come on. Come on, man.
Roan
What staircase are you talking about?
Harry
Any staircase.
Sass
The one right here, for example. The subway.
Harry
There's a. Oh, no, because that one doesn't have the. I'm talking about one that has a divider in the middle. So, like the one by denoting the one. The one in Dumbo York Street, Anyway. Yeah, yeah. Where there's. There's a right side, and in all likelihood, there's some arrows on the stairs that are saying up. And then the other side is. The one on the left side is the down. Obviously. You know why? Because we drive on the right side of the road here. So that is the right flow of traffic.
Sass
Yeah, yeah.
Harry
Per our society, I think it's fine to extend the rules of the road to the way that we kind of travel. Right.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
To that point. I was in Newark Airport yesterday, and you know how in Newark, for whatever reason, they designed all the common space in the middle.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Aisle. Which is insane, by the way.
Sass
What terminal were you at?
Harry
See, probably the one. But. But, you know, they. All the. All. All the restaurants are in the middle. Even. Even common seating is in the middle.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
All the bars. It's nice. I'm just saying that to me, anyone walking out of the terminal should be walking on the right side of the restaurants, and anyone walking to their gate in Newark should be walking on the right side of the restaurant.
Roan
What about just right and left lane on the one side and right plane on the other side? If only people are going Both ways.
Harry
If only it could be so simple.
Sass
The problem is something you have to consider is it is Newark International Airport.
Harry
Oh, that's actually a great point.
Sass
A lot of people that are coming in, they might be driving on the left lane.
Harry
Yeah. But when I'm in fucking London, I'm not just being like, well, where are we doing at home? I'm on the fucking right. You guys better move out of the way.
Sass
Some people are a little slow.
Harry
Fine. My point is that if everyone just. Actually, I mean, I've. I've. It's beating a dead horse.
Roan
You like the rules to be followed.
Harry
It would be more efficient. We'd all move more quickly.
Roan
Dude. Well, I could say the same thing about walking up an escalator. You're trying to take a little siesta on the escalator for two seconds, take the steps. You're an active being. Motion is lotion. If you don't usually lose it, I
Harry
do think I do. I am very conscious on the escalator of if I'm not walking up, I'm hugging the right side.
Roan
But why not just walk it up?
Sass
Well, you're in great shape. Walk up. If I walk up, I'm taking the stairs.
Roan
Yeah, but you're an anarchist. You don't believe in any type of rules. You're not like, trying to make society move more efficiently. You're looking out for number one.
Harry
Harry can't walk up the escalator because it'll jiggle the bomb.
Roan
No, I enriched plutonium.
Sass
Like at LaGuardia, for example. You know, I'll take the stairs a lot because it's just faster, faster.
Roan
Jfk. Sometimes you get off the moving walkway because everybody's.
Sass
Oh, you don't camp in. Jfk. You don't even get on the moving walkway.
Roan
People just camp out in there. Yeah, I mean, it just flies in the face of all the other stuff you're saying.
Harry
I don't know. I don't know, Ron.
Roan
I do like it.
Harry
Then why do I like what?
Roan
Standing on the escalator?
Harry
Well, first of all, when I get to LaGuardia, the best escalator is the one when you land and you're coming down because it takes you down below the arrivals, the departures.
Sass
Like, there's like a five story escalator
Harry
and there's a beautiful mural on the left. And you get to kind of look around and just marvel at all the amazing stuff they've done there. And which airport is this and that slow by the Starbucks descent, to me, is the real indicator Of I'm home. It. To me, it feels like what it must have felt like when gis took the gangplank off of the transport boats when they got back from Normandy.
Roan
Yeah, it's interesting.
Harry
I feel like I. I envision myself way. I almost wave. No, I don't even thank everyone for thinking that's crazy.
Sass
When I land at LaGuardia or when I land in New York, it's like we're just getting started. Day is not even close to over.
Harry
Yeah, well, that's you living New York.
Sass
Yeah. So, like, I gotta, like. I think it's. Once I get to the Uber place, I'm like, all right, now it's time to settle in. Like, once I get to, like, the Uber area.
Harry
Well, that's not that far.
Sass
Yeah, but when I'm in the airport, I'm still angry. Like, I'm still moving pissed.
Roan
Because you can't even hit vape. No, you just need one.
Sass
Can't even hit vape yet.
Roan
On that escalator. You probably could rip a.
Sass
Everyone's ripping vape on that escalator.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
You could just empty the clip on that cloud.
Sass
I mean, I'll be honest. Like, when you. When people are getting off, if you're vaping, if you're getting. When you're on the jet bridge, you're getting a puffin for sure on that. Walk off. Yeah.
Roan
Or getting on or.
Sass
Yeah, both.
Harry
But you hit it on the plane, too.
Sass
Not me.
Harry
You do the whole, like, sleeve.
Sass
I used to do that.
Roan
Ghost it.
Sass
I used to do that when I was on the Jewel, but it would explode it. When it gets the altitude. It's just, like a loose fluid. So you get the. Up the altitude, you take a hit of it, and then next thing you know, it's all in your mouth.
Harry
Oh, no.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
God. And did you like that?
Sass
No. It's like, the worst feeling maybe ever. You ever been, like, sick from nicotine?
Harry
No.
Sass
That's like. It just speed runs that.
Harry
Actually, that's not true. I've dipped before and thrown up.
Roan
It got you pretty sick.
Harry
Close.
Sass
I dipped. I think I've told this story before, but I dipped one time. Like, I. I did it, like, when I was in, like, ninth grade, maybe. Like, everyone would do, like, the pouches before it was, like, the nicotine pouches.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
And we would do it, like, all the time. And I remember I did it once, and I remember, like, I should have thrown up, but I didn't. And I just. Stomachache for, like, three weeks straight after, like, every Day, I'll be like, is. Am I finally gonna get it out of the system? And then it just. Nothing would happen.
Roan
That's bad.
Harry
I should have thrown up last night.
Sass
Oh, yeah, Yeah.
Harry
I had a real problem. What?
Sass
You were dipping last night?
Harry
No, I.
Roan
Too much.
Harry
I bought a box, or the whole. The whole thing of the Toll House cookie dough. And then I put 14 cookies in the oven, and I ate all of them.
Sass
Yeah, that's.
Harry
And then I was like, I still want more sugar, but I need to be healthy.
Sass
So you're on the weed again, I'm assuming.
Harry
Then I ate an orange.
Sass
That's not a sober man.
Harry
Then I ate an orange, and then I was like, I'm still not satisfied on sugar. And I ate a grapefruit, and the grapefruit put me over the edge.
Sass
Really?
Harry
After the grape water? Dude, it's not.
Sass
But I mean, after 14 cookies.
Harry
There's rancid poison in grapefruit.
Sass
Yeah, that is true.
Harry
You know, in order for a grapefruit to be edible, you have to add 14 grams of sugar to it.
Roan
Grapefruit, like, that's nature's paint thinner.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Like, you could really scrub that and take the bark off a tree.
Sass
There's something with, like, people that have heart conditions. Like, once you.
Harry
You can allegedly. Lipitor. If you're on Lipitor, you're not meant to have it. But Gary Goldman had a great line. Grapefruits. He goes, the only reason God invented grapefruits was so that people would have something to compare the size of a tumor to.
Sass
It's hilarious.
Roan
It's an insane. It's an insane name for that fruit as well.
Harry
Hey, can we just do a quick. A quick shout out to the boys? You know, this is just. I'm just really proud today to be a Harvard lacrosse alone.
Sass
What's the. What's the. Wait, let me see the side.
Harry
The boys beat number one Syracuse today. Veritas means truth.
Sass
That was our XR5 Pro.
Harry
Yeah. I mean, I don't even. We used to have, like, the cpx.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Titaniums.
Sass
I forget what I had, but I know. I just remember the fan on the back was always like, that's cool.
Harry
Yeah, that. These. They've gotten so sick.
Roan
Who's on your team? The Predator. Why is the face so fucking.
Sass
I throw it on.
Harry
Yes. Try it on. Try it on.
Roan
Why is this. Why is it shaped like this? Every other helmet's not.
Harry
The boys beat Syracuse this weekend. Number one team in the country. Yeah. At Jordan Field. Shout out all the goals I scored at Jordan Field.
Roan
How many?
Harry
Well, to be honest with you, I think I had an assist against Kenesius. This is high tech, but they built. They built Jordan Field when I was like, a junior, so we only played on it my senior year.
Sass
Foreign.
Harry
Let's see your helmet tilt.
Sass
Well, you want it low, right?
Harry
Yeah, yeah. You want to not even be able to see out of the helmet. Why?
Roan
It looks swaggy.
Harry
Because that's way cooler.
Sass
Yeah, it looks sick.
Harry
If kids would walk out of the tunnel like that. You're like, that kid's gonna be a problem. That kid's only shooting from his hip. There's no chance he's shooting overhand.
Sass
You start to throw it on round, I want to see your tilt.
Harry
Oh, he's struggling. There you go. Let's see how Ron's helmet tilt. Yeah. I don't know.
Sass
Solid. But you're. No, you're. It's. You have no tilt.
Roan
Yeah, I have a big head.
Harry
I have a big head.
Sass
I mean, that is painful.
Harry
This thing doesn't fit me at all.
Roan
Meanwhile, Sass, put that on like he was you.
Sass
Perfect.
Roan
Dropping a hat on a bedpost that was swiveling around your head. What the.
Harry
Shout out, Bean head. Shout out. Harvard lacrosse toppling number one Syracuse.
Sass
That's huge.
Harry
Coach Byrne and the boys. This is the year.
Roan
Hey, dude, you know, I want to invite all. I want to invite the whole team onto the pod, dude.
Harry
I mean, can we. Let's just.
Roan
All of them can.
Sass
We might have to invite the women's team.
Harry
Yeah, yeah. It's a program. Let's be honest with you. But they would impeach me. I went and spoke to the team this year. Yeah.
Sass
Did they give you the helmet then?
Harry
They gave it to me, yes. As a result of that. As a nice present from that.
Sass
Tell them to send more gear.
Harry
They will. Whether it's just Harvard athletics, not lacrosse specifically.
Sass
No, we can do lacrosse specifically.
Harry
I think we're a Harvard lacrosse program.
Sass
I mean, I don't know if you know, but, like, back in my. Everyone always says I wear the same clothes all the time. I've done that my entire life. When I was really young, like fifth grade, it was a Harvard sweatshirt every day.
Harry
Damn.
Roan
I think Harvard is one of the few colleges that you can rep, and it's not even like you're supporting that college. And I find the same thing in the pros. Like, there's some pro teams. It's like if you wear a Yankees hat or like a Bulls jacket or something like that. It's not even like you're supporting the Yankees or the Bulls. It's like, beyond that.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
With Harvard, you're just, like, supporting knowledge.
Harry
It's style. Yeah.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Can I put this here, or is that okay? We're okay with that. Boys beat Syracuse this weekend. I mean, truly unbelievable result. They were 13th in the country going into the game. Syracuse was one number one.
Roan
Are you serious?
Harry
And they beat him 13:12. Unbelievable. I think that means Harvard's going to be, like, top five.
Sass
That's crazy.
Harry
I think they're going to be top five now.
Sass
You should go to a game.
Harry
We can go when they play Princeton. If they're playing Princeton. At Princeton this year. That's close.
Sass
Is Princeton close?
Harry
It's an hour we go out there.
Roan
Drop rod.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
Drop line.
Sass
Yeah, drop line. Catch a game.
Roan
That sounds so nice.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah.
Roan
Give him a pep talk.
Sass
Yeah, why not?
Harry
I like that.
Roan
Fish day.
Harry
Yeah. The boys. The boys are buzzing, though, I'm telling you. What a team. So proud. You know, they had belief, like, Coach Byrne came in a few years ago, turned the program around, had to get all of his recruits in. So I think this is his first year where the whole team is comprised of his recruits. I'm a huge coach. Burn guy.
Roan
How's Hopkins this year? How's Salisbury? How's the D3 schools?
Harry
I don't know. I think the Hopkins. Well, Hopkins is one. Is D1.
Roan
Oh, they're D1?
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Salisbury's D3.
Harry
I think Salisbury's D2, actually.
Sass
How's Michigan?
Harry
They should probably be good. Maryland's always the perennial sort of powerhouse now.
Sass
Yeah. They have the cool uniforms.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Quinnipiac still putting up numbers? Oh, yeah.
Harry
They were always a team. We would put on our schedule so that the Scrubs could play.
Sass
Oh, really?
Harry
Quinnipiac was. Q Pack, was terrible. Damn dog.
Roan
Really?
Harry
I scored against Q Pack my senior year.
Roan
What'd you hit him with?
Harry
I remember Danny. I threw a pass, like skip pass over to me up top, right? I caught it right in the window and just uncorked one. And it was stick side high, but it was so fast that the goalie couldn't get his stick up to catch it. I mean, I had a cannon.
Sass
Did you have a. You ever get a bat behind the back end?
Harry
Not in a. Not in a game. I. I mean, no, not. Not in a. Not in a college game.
Roan
I think one of our sisters from UNC did that yesterday.
Harry
Did she?
Roan
Sports center top 10 is number 8.
Sass
I think one of my buddies from high school Played lacrosse in college. Actually, a couple of my friends played lacrosse in college, but one of them had. He had, like, a sick behind the back goal. They put it on, like, all the Instagram accounts.
Harry
Cool. Who do you play for?
Sass
I don't know.
Roan
That's not your friend?
Harry
Doesn't sound like a friend friend.
Sass
Like a. Like a friend, but, like, not like
Harry
you didn't even know where he went to college.
Sass
Tied, to be honest. No friend. You know, like a good. Like a school friend.
Harry
Every single friend in my life, I know where they went to school. Every friend of mine.
Sass
We had Covid. And there. People moved.
Harry
That's a fair point.
Roan
No, it's not. I know where everyone. Friend of mine went to school.
Harry
So do I.
Sass
None of your friends had to leave school second year?
Roan
Yeah, they all went to State. Every one of them went to Penn State. That's how I know.
Sass
Should have known. Should have known.
Roan
I don't know where they all work, though. I don't know where all my friends work. Do you feel like you know where
Harry
your friends work right now? Yeah. No, because my friends are all just. I just. I just say they work in money. What does my friend do? Money.
Roan
That's probably accurate.
Harry
He gets paid. That's it. He works for the money people.
Sass
I got Bo moved to Alabama. Did I tell you guys that?
Harry
No. What? I thought he was gonna work here. What the hell?
Sass
Beau lives in Birmingham now.
Harry
Why?
Sass
I don't know.
Harry
Did he take up with the Klan?
Roan
Birmingham's actually a charming little booming city. Yeah.
Sass
One of his buddies moved down there from Denver, but his buddy is from Mississippi, so it's, like, not that much of a difference. I don't know. Bo claims to like it. I think he'll be back in, like, a month.
Harry
What's he doing, man?
Sass
He wants to get his pilot license.
Harry
What? What? And that's the place for that.
Sass
It's like, there. Like it. I think it's. Arizona is the place for that.
Harry
Typically, you got to put me in. I mean, I have Bo's number, but I need to have a. I need to have.
Sass
You honestly should. I think we should have, like, a sit down. You talk to Beau and Matt, and just like, let's.
Harry
Both of them. Both of them are drifting, I think.
Sass
I think both of them need to talk.
Harry
All right. And I appreciate that. You do agree that I should be the one.
Sass
Oh, yeah. I mean, I've tried everything.
Harry
I'm.
Sass
I'm out of. I'm out of options. Saying to them, I tell them I'm I tell. I mean, I told. I told him my opinions.
Roan
What were they?
Sass
I just said. I was like, you're being a idiot.
Roan
You're throwing your life away.
Sass
Yeah. I was like, move to New York. It'll be fun.
Roan
Yeah. Hopefully one day I wake up and you're just not here.
Sass
Yeah, exactly.
Harry
I don't know. I mean, look, I don't know if moving. Moving to New York.
Sass
I don't know if moving to New York's the right.
Harry
I don't know if that's the right thing for them.
Sass
But I also said there's. And I don't want to. Like, I mean, I don't know enough about Birmingham to really shit on it too much.
Harry
I do, but.
Roan
No, but downtown Birmingham's nice. It's cute as fuck.
Harry
Come on, you don't think so? I've never even. I've never been.
Sass
He told me already that I don't
Harry
know anything about Birmingham, but I know everything about Birmingham.
Sass
He told me already that there's, like, neighborhoods that he's drinking, driven through, that people are like, you can't go there.
Harry
Yeah, of course.
Sass
Bad.
Roan
Well, why, why can't he go there?
Sass
I don't know. You just want. I think he just wanted like his own place. Like, he's paying like. He's paying like 500amonth for like a house.
Harry
Yeah, yeah. A trap house.
Sass
Yeah. So, I mean, I guess that's. He got a seven.
Roan
He should have moved to Philly.
Harry
He got. Oh, he got a 70 inch TV. You know, they don't have. They don't have those anywhere other than Birmingham.
Sass
I mean, he's got it. He's got a good pad, I'll give him that.
Harry
He's got a solid streets in Birmingham.
Sass
He's got a solid padd. He's got a yard.
Roan
He lives in his tv.
Harry
What. What good is that if, you know you have to take three flights to see your friends?
Sass
Yeah, yeah.
Roan
No, there's direct to Birmingham. You get flying to Birmingham, drive to Tuscaloosa, it's like an hour.
Sass
Golly, dude, I really don't know. But, yeah, he's out there now. So the New York dream is dead temporarily.
Roan
I thought he was gonna work here.
Sass
Yeah, he didn't get hired.
Harry
If you told me that he had moved to Montana or Wyoming or Colorado, I would have said, great, he's already done it.
Sass
I don't think he's ever gonna live somewhere for a long time.
Harry
He's a nomad.
Sass
I think he's just gonna hop from place to place.
Harry
Does he get restless?
Sass
I don't know what it is, but I think it was like he just didn't want to be at home anymore. And it was like, that he could afford to live there, and one of his buddies lives there.
Harry
Why doesn't he move to another country?
Sass
He thought about doing that. He was gonna move to. He was gonna live in Kenya for a minute.
Harry
Oh, great.
Roan
Yeah.
Sass
That's the thing. You can't get through to one boy's law. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Roan
Kenya. He doesn't know what he wants, so he said, I'll go to Birmingham instead. That's racist.
Harry
Thought about Kenya, and I remember there's too many black people.
Roan
What the fuck?
Sass
I've only been to Alabama once, and I went to Huntsville. And, like, I mean, I don't. Again, I don't want to talk too much on Alabama because, again, I've only been there once. But, like. Like, yeah, it's like, they're racist for sure.
Roan
Black people aren't.
Harry
No.
Sass
Yeah, bro, I was. I went to. Me and Mook went to a restaurant in Huntsville. They were literally, like. This was the. Like, there was a white side.
Harry
No way, bro. You're talking about segregation. Yes, it was. There a different line.
Sass
It, like, it's not enforced, but, like, they don't. There was.
Harry
There's no mingling.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
What if we went. What if Beau was sort of like the reverse Martin Luther King and sort of healed the racial divide in Birmingham?
Sass
So actually, that would be big.
Roan
Birmingham.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
Let's go down to Birmingham, drop a line down there, maybe fish a little.
Sass
Wow.
Harry
I like that.
Sass
We have been talking about the fishing out there. I think it's a lot of. A lot of smallmouth bass.
Harry
Boeing Ham.
Roan
Birmingham sounds nice. What the Is. What's he gonna do down there? Like, be a soccer coach or working?
Sass
No, I think he got, like, a sales job down there, and then he's gonna do the flight.
Roan
Flight school, a little offshore.
Sass
He already's done, like, two. Two classes. He's flown twice.
Harry
Wow.
Sass
Pretty crazy.
Harry
What's he flying?
Sass
Tiny, like, Cessna planes. But he said the first day the. There's one. It's called, like, the Discovery program or some like that. Like, you get, like, your first class on, like, a discount just to, like, see if you like it. And he said, like, day one, like, he did. Like, they were like, you're doing it all. Like, he had to, like, take off and land the plane.
Roan
Do you. Do you remember when they said that guys from 911 went to flight school, but they just they left skip the days when you had to land.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
So what do they do on the days when they learn to take off focused.
Sass
I mean, I guess really they didn't have to be there for that either though, because the pilots took off. Yeah.
Roan
So. But, but I mean on the day
Sass
wasn't hijacked the planes before, before takeoff and they were like, yeah, this is DL 1083 looking for clearance takeoff.
Roan
But, but they. On the days they were in the air, how did they get on the ground?
Harry
They were.
Sass
I think they were all in flight sims, weren't they?
Roan
Oh, they were just in sims.
Sass
I mean, maybe they weren't. I don't know. I don't really understand. I don't really think they had to actually go into depth in, in that much depth in those classes.
Roan
I just didn't know that like landing was like week three. Like you'd think they'd teach you a little bit of landing right off.
Sass
Yeah, yeah.
Roan
A little bit of get off, a little bit of.
Sass
Dude. I saw a video this morning of one of those like at home flight simulators. Those things look so fucking sick. I think if I got one. I don't know if I would ever leave it if I got one of those. When they've got like the surround TVs.
Roan
Is that what PFT is working with?
Sass
I don't know if he has that advanced of one, but he has a pretty solid one for sure.
Roan
You ever fly?
Harry
No, I don't have a whole lot of interest.
Sass
I don't know why it's him.
Harry
That's just one of those things that hasn't grabbed me either.
Sass
I have zero interest.
Harry
And frankly, cars don't grab me that much either. And I'm someone who likes fancy things. We all know that. And I wonder if that bug is just coming or if I'm for whatever reason immune to it. I don't care about driving.
Roan
I think you have crazy impulses. And you know that deep down. And so you're like, probably not.
Harry
I have one ability to stave off an impulse.
Roan
No, I'm saying you have. You're like an impulsive person in some ways. Totally a risk taker.
Harry
Totally.
Roan
And I think that you're. There's probably deep down inside of you something that's just like. That's probably not something I want to even like have in my hands as an impulsive guy.
Harry
Oh, maybe true. I mean, I think that cars are just the, the most expensive hobby.
Sass
Yeah, I think that's what like if you get into that, then you're just. Your life's over, you're toast.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah.
Sass
Unless you have like Jerry Seinfeld money.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
And you can just but have a garage.
Harry
I don't need to collect cars. I'm saying I won't even allow myself to have something moderately nice. And maybe that sounds crazy because I have a Tesla, but the Tesla I Bought is a 2018 Model 3 that I bought from my parents.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
With like 120, 000 miles on it.
Sass
Yeah, yeah.
Harry
And I don't need anything more than that.
Sass
I mean it also probably has to do with the fact that you live in New York City.
Harry
Yeah, exactly.
Sass
If you lived in like la.
Harry
I wonder. It's such a status symbol there.
Sass
You got to drive everywhere in la.
Harry
Yeah. I will say when you get a someone, if you've driven someone's nice car and you have those cooling seats.
Sass
Oh, I don't know if I've ever seen that.
Harry
Is something that I could be pretty happy with.
Sass
I like the heated. I like the heated steering wheel.
Harry
That's nice too. The heated steering wheel in the winter. But then the cooling seats. Does your Lexus have cooling seats?
Roan
It has both. I'll turn them on simultaneously and shock my body into ketosis.
Harry
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Roan
Amazing. Yeah, it is nice.
Harry
That's really.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
If you hold the hot steering wheel and get a blast of undercarriage.
Harry
Golly, dude.
Roan
And the massage. And the massage too. On the seats.
Sass
You got the massage too.
Harry
Oh my God.
Sass
You were talking on Alexis.
Roan
He recanted.
Harry
I, I big Alexis.
Roan
Knocked on his door to get Alexis.
Harry
I'm gonna get Alexis Texas. Yeah.
Roan
You sure get Alexis Texas.
Sass
I mean that's pretty crazy.
Roan
You got. You would be in the lap of luxury if you ever drove that thing that. No wonder I'm fucking swerving off the road. It's like hitting the right spot. No wonder I'm a shitty driver. I'm just like, oh yeah.
Sass
How many guests do you guys plan on having on hooping and hollering? This looks like a full on like, like this is like one of those pods.
Roan
What do you mean?
Sass
You get like 17 dudes on that couch.
Harry
Are you guys adding couches? Are there more couches now?
Sass
Isn't this a two man show? Why do you guys have five couch couches?
Roan
Well, I'm going to be laying down.
Harry
Are your co hosts the Balls?
Roan
Yeah, they really might be. They have their own podcast, the Balls. The Ball Brothers. But Lamello's not on it. How about Team USA Hockey?
Sass
Yeah. Did you guys watch the whole Thing?
Harry
Yeah, same.
Roan
I watched the end of the game.
Sass
I wish I regretted it, to be honest. I had a long night. Had a long day. If I knew I was going to be streaming until midnight, I definitely wouldn't have Woke up at 7. I don't wake up at 7. No, it was 8. Yeah, but I wanted to be mentally ready.
Roan
Why would you just. You, like, live next to a tv?
Sass
Well, I woke up, I went and got some coffee, got a croissant.
Roan
You did?
Sass
Yeah, I had to stock up on before the storm.
Harry
Is that what you're eating for breakfast?
Sass
Coffee and a croissant? Yeah, occasionally.
Harry
Yeah. Okay.
Sass
Not every day. I had a coffee and a granola bar.
Harry
That's not judgment. It's. That was judgment trying to ascertain your stomach problems.
Sass
I mean, I don't have like. I'm not like slamming croissants seven days a week. I just. I get a croissant because I'm like, I have to have something in my stomach.
Harry
Where do you get it? Is it. You get a good one.
Sass
Yeah, I go to a coffee shop.
Harry
Okay.
Roan
Is it one around the corner to the left? I think that's. That one's awesome. That's a nice ass coffee shop.
Sass
It's fine.
Harry
It's okay.
Sass
It's fine. They're a little too.
Harry
A little?
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
There's one.
Sass
I don't gotta say it.
Harry
There's one. There's a coffee shop not far from you that I think it's called don't feed the alligators.
Sass
Oh, I know. I think I've heard of that.
Harry
That looks really nice. But more importantly, there is a croissant bakery near you that is a destination croissant bakery.
Sass
Really?
Harry
And I think that croissants are one of those things like pizza, where the variance in good to just regular.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Is so great that it's worth walking the extra block or two. Check that out to get a really good one.
Sass
I'll have to check that out.
Harry
I'll get the name for it. Would you do me a favor and just try it? Yeah, sure. Cool.
Sass
The crazy crocodile.
Harry
Well, I don't know if they make a good one. I'll find out what the really good croissant is.
Roan
I don't know if he's trying that, Francis. I feel like he's giving you lip service right now.
Harry
We have to fill the time somehow. If not throwing useless suggestions into the suggestion box of Harry. That is a bottomless trash can that will never be opened. It's got the lock on it and he Threw the key into the fucking river.
Sass
I will say I think my caffeine tolerance is, like, the highest I think maybe anyone's ever been.
Roan
Really.
Sass
I. I don't feel it at all anymore. Like, I. I, like, literally, like, if you. If I had a cup of coffee six months ago, I would have to, like, leave the studio.
Roan
You gotta get a darker. You got to switch to a darker roast.
Sass
Dude, I've been drinking, like, coffee in the morning and then like. Like multiple energy drinks.
Roan
Maybe you need a tolerance break.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Probably just reset your. Because there's.
Harry
Or.
Roan
Or you ever. With the yerba mate?
Sass
Yeah. That is literally like meth.
Roan
That is insane. It's like, if caffeine's not doing it for you anymore, you switch to latte and your chest starts coming out like a cartoon character.
Sass
I can't. I can't. I can't drink that. They have that. They had that in the stand green room for a minute, and I was like. I had like a. Two sips of one and had to go on stage after. And I was like, that was such a mistake, Harry.
Harry
I'm so pleased at how close this is.
Sass
How close? Well, don't say it.
Harry
I'll say. I'll just say the bakery name.
Roan
Yeah. Didn't you. You already said it, didn't you?
Harry
No, I haven't yet.
Sass
What's the bakery name?
Harry
I don't care if you said it's fine. It's. It's Patisserie. Claude.
Roan
And how.
Harry
Claude Bakery.
Roan
How close is it?
Harry
Two blocks.
Sass
How is it.
Harry
What's it called?
Roan
We've triangulated him.
Sass
What's it called?
Harry
Claude Bakery. C L, A, U, D, E. Like the AI. I don't know. Claude Bakery. Unbelievably close to you.
Sass
Claude.
Harry
Yeah, Bakery.
Sass
Claude.
Harry
It's on West 4th.
Roan
Isn't. Is Claude a restaurant of its own?
Sass
Oh, this is a. This is a chip in a pot, brother.
Harry
There you go. Chip in a pot.
Sass
Harry, this is a drive and then maybe a three wood. This is his three blocks.
Harry
Oh, God help you. Well, I mean, it's two and a half blocks.
Sass
Let's think here, though. That's the place that I go to.
Harry
I know.
Sass
And that's where I live.
Harry
I know. Can you just. Just trust me. Yeah. If you have one of these.
Sass
I think Tyler's closer to Claude.
Harry
If you have one of these.
Roan
And by the way, now we know where they.
Harry
I continue to mispronounce croissants. For your. Your. For the sake of the pot.
Sass
Why. How do you say It.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
And how would you say fish?
Harry
Poisson.
Roan
Poisson. Fish is poisson. But a croissant is croissant.
Sass
You know what I'm really. I really wish we had a good spot is a kolache spot.
Roan
Kolaches.
Harry
What's that?
Sass
Oh, that's a croissant, brother.
Roan
That's like a Polish Texas, eastern European, southern United States hybrid treat. Whoa.
Sass
It's good. They got every. I mean, they pretty much. They'll just take any food and they'll put it into a croissant or like a pastry. So, like, the.
Roan
The.
Sass
The most famous one, I think, is the hot dog.
Roan
Are you talking about a kil bosnik or a kolachi?
Sass
They're all. They're the same. The. The hot dog one's pretty good. But then we had, like, pizza ones, burgers we had. Then they make, like. They make sweet ones, sweet treats.
Roan
There's a town called West Texas that only sells kolaches. It's the only place where it's, like, basically their only export. They're famous for them. And there's like, It's a.
Sass
It's right near Waco.
Roan
One horse town.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
We stayed in Waco and we ate. We ate clotches.
Harry
What were you doing in Waco?
Roan
We were going for Colossus.
Harry
Oh, wow.
Roan
Okay, Cool. A video on kolaches.
Harry
They're good. I went to Pittsburgh this weekend.
Sass
Oh, yeah? Any clutches there?
Harry
No, I don't think so. But I've only been to Pittsburgh in the warm weather months, and I've always been very fond of it. It's really green. Where were you?
Sass
The Improv?
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
Did you stay near the Improv?
Harry
No, I stayed downtown, which is a hike.
Sass
Yeah. It's a mistake. It's like 30 plus minutes.
Harry
It was 20. I'd rather be downtown and suck up the Ubers back and forth than Homestead for the whole time.
Sass
Yeah. I just wall. I would just walk from the. I stayed at the hotel. Like, on the highway.
Harry
Yeah. I mean, I don't like. I don't like being in a hotel all weekend away from everything.
Sass
No, no, no one does.
Roan
You want to be in the city center, you're saying?
Harry
Yeah, pretty much. I was at the Kimpton Monaco, which was nice.
Sass
I mean, if you're like. When you're in, like, a hotel like that like, all weekend and you're doing shows, I feel like it just makes. It just, like, puts way too much, like, pressure on you. You're like, this is. You're like. Well, I'm really Building up this show.
Harry
Oh, because there's so much time to kill.
Roan
Yeah.
Sass
You're like, everything is just building up to this show.
Harry
Yeah. I mean, I used to just sit in the room, but now I can't do that anymore.
Sass
Get out, stretch the legs.
Harry
I walked around and. And I made a joke at the show where I was like, I feel like you guys haven't changed anything since Bane left. And it truly feels that way in downtown Pittsburgh in the winter.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
The city is a little. I mean, they're struggling. The homeless are sleeping in the middle of the sidewalk. They're not under overhangs or cover or they're not in the shadows. They're not, you know, in ATM vestibules there. You got to step around them. Yeah, yeah.
Roan
Pittsburgh is also weirdly built. Like an M.C. escher painting, where it's all uphill. Like, no matter what direction you're going in Pittsburgh, you're always going uphill. It's like, what the is that? How do they build this?
Harry
Yeah, it's like a trick.
Roan
You get to the top, you're at the bottom.
Sass
Did you see my. My mural at the Pittsburgh Improv?
Harry
No, but Mike told me. He was like, we gotta get your picture up there next to Harry's. I haven't seen that.
Sass
Mike said that there's like a massive photo of me at the Pittsburgh Improv.
Harry
Damn. I didn't see it. That's cool. They were so nice.
Sass
Yeah, they're the best.
Harry
Shows were amazing. The crowds were awesome.
Sass
That's one of my favorite clubs I've ever.
Harry
It was really, really good.
Sass
Staffers. Unbelievable.
Harry
They were great.
Roan
Well, they get it in Pittsburgh.
Sass
They get it.
Roan
And everybody can have like 12 beers in Pittsburgh and not even be that drunk.
Harry
Yeah, dude, It's a drinking town.
Roan
Drinking beers. Just like straight up beers.
Harry
Yeah. It smelled like farts. And it's a huge showroom. I mean, the place is huge.
Sass
Yeah, it's a big. It's a big room.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
It's fun.
Harry
Yeah. Thank you for everyone who came to those shows.
Roan
Cadix from Pittsburgh, doesn't that contextualize him so much more?
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
Aren't you like. Oh, I thought he was from Indiana,
Roan
to be honest, but no, it's like he is even wilder. No, no, no. Indiana is like a conserved, like, polite place.
Sass
Fake, Fake. Polite.
Harry
People drove down to the shows from Buffalo and that geography baffles me. I'm like, buffalo? I would have thought that that drive was 25 hours. You drove from Buffalo to Pittsburgh?
Sass
How far is it?
Harry
I don't know.
Roan
Aren't you. Aren't you playing Buffalo ever?
Harry
Huh? Three and a half. Three and a half hours is nothing.
Sass
Yeah. It's not terrible.
Harry
It's closer than to. They're closer than we are to Boston.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
No madness.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
And, like, I know West Virginia is not that far from there. I would have thought West Virginia was 10 states away from Pittsburgh. Yeah.
Sass
Only know that, though, because I know that, like, people from West. Like, Nick's a Steelers fan, right.
Roan
He's got a. Yeah. He's got a little bit of a Yinzer draw to him.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
I'm trying to think who else from barstools, like, secret. Like, the people from Pittsburgh in your life are always like, oh, like, I didn't realize he's from Pittsburgh. It almost like, sneaks up.
Sass
Yeah. Yeah.
Roan
It's a nice. It's a great city, though.
Harry
I do like the city. I mean, the real treasure of the city is their golf course.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Okwoka.
Sass
Did you play it?
Harry
I've played.
Sass
Was snowing this weekend.
Harry
No, I think it was open. But I mean, Oakmont is top five golf course in the world, probably.
Sass
Is it right in Pittsburgh?
Harry
Kind of in a suburb a little bit, but not far. And it's where they played the US Open there this year. I mean, it's. It's one of the most iconic US Open venues. It's similar to pebble beach, where, like, it comes back there every seven years or something like that. And there have been some iconic US Opens played at it. The most recent one was just there.
Sass
Damn.
Harry
One of the hardest sports.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
We should go to Pittsburgh, maybe drop a line.
Harry
We could play Oakmont. Oakmont's. Oakmont's treasure. Yeah, it's a treasure.
Sass
They got fish in the. In the water hazards.
Harry
I don't know. No, they don't. They don't have any water hazards at Oakvan. Correct.
Sass
No water.
Harry
Not one.
Sass
You're telling me this is a top five course in America?
Roan
Yeah, dry course.
Sass
And it's dry.
Roan
You're stepping around homeless people.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Yeah.
Sass
That's why it's so tough.
Roan
They'll run off with your ball.
Harry
There is a. I think there's sort of a lake through the trees on 16 tee box or 15 tee box or something.
Sass
But that's where they're keeping them.
Harry
I don't know.
Sass
The monsters, the homeless, the big fish.
Harry
They say that all the rivers in Pittsburgh are bad.
Sass
Like, you. Like, you can't contaminated swim in them.
Harry
They're all pretty polluted.
Sass
Well, the fishing in Pennsylvania Top tier. Yeah, some of the best in the country.
Harry
Do you think that at some point in the future of human civilization, all of our rivers will restore themselves, too? No cleanliness?
Sass
No.
Harry
Well, we're not allowed. I mean, maybe we are.
Sass
I think new rivers would appear, if anything.
Harry
Are we dump. We're not still dumping chemicals and waste and stuff in them, are we?
Sass
Oh, they definitely still are.
Harry
Really?
Sass
Yeah. Not like all of them. Like, not most.
Harry
You're telling me that, like, fertilizer companies are still just, like, paving the way for the next Aaron Brockovich movie? Yeah, probably, like, guys are out there fucking nosebleeds and shit.
Sass
I'm pretty sure, like, the AI companies just, like, dump their excess water into
Harry
growing up with webbed feet, that kind of shit.
Roan
Third eyes. Yeah. They're thinking as long as. As long as China is on this earth, there will be.
Harry
Well, yeah, China is.
Sass
I'm pretty sure, like, at the end of every month, Elon Musk has to, like, take the black tar out of Grok and he just pours it straight into, like, Lake Tahoe or something.
Roan
Just scraping it out with a spatula. Yeah, we need a Chinese. Aaron Brockovich is really what we.
Sass
That would be huge. Yeah. Ellen.
Harry
Ellen Blockovich.
Roan
The Chinese girl be called Alan. There's way more Chinese names than that. You think that dudes in the US Will stop talking in the hockey accent now that the. The Canadians aren't top hockey guys anymore? No, hockey guys who. Who talk with a fake Canadian accent. Do you think that that will end?
Sass
No, no, definitely not. I think that might have been, if anything, that just fueled the fire.
Roan
Really?
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
And a big part of that, too, that people don't talk about is that, you know, all those guys that come up in hockey end up playing, I feel like, in the Midwest or in Canada. And the Midwest accent is starting to blend to Canada. Definitely. It's not that far off.
Sass
No, not at all.
Roan
Or you think the swaggiest guy on the team's, like, a Canadian guy who they're, like, really aspiring to be, and they're just all trying to talk like him. Or is it just all in the lingo of listening to. To spin chicklets and shit?
Sass
I think it's like the. The. The, like, the cool hockey guys all talk like that. Yeah, the best players. And, like, I think it's just you want to be the best, so you act like the best.
Roan
What's the lacrosse accent? Is it just perfect grammar?
Harry
You know, it's always so funny to me. Lacrosse is always the said this before, but lacrosse is always the sort of punchline of rich sport.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
And whenever someone says that to me, I'm like, you're poor.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Because I knew rich sports.
Roan
Oh, you're talking polo.
Harry
You. The.
Sass
You.
Harry
You think lacrosse is the rich sport? That's your top of the mountain.
Sass
What are your top three?
Harry
Oh, my God. Dude, think of.
Sass
Do you have nascar?
Harry
You ever met a fencing kid?
Sass
No, never.
Harry
Like, a kid who's competitive in fencing?
Sass
Literally. No, never.
Harry
Or some of these Olympic sports where you're like, I'm not watching that.
Sass
No, I know. I totally agree with that.
Harry
Like, the kid who grows up and is good at that. You're like, get the billionaires. Horseback riding, equestrian, like, dressage.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
All that is outrageous money.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Anything to do with horses is crazy bobsledding. Well, I don't know about that.
Sass
I don't.
Harry
I actually don't know about.
Sass
No, no. I'd assume that's something that, like, I don't think you can just walk into a bob's like you and you're like, where's your sled at?
Harry
But do they even have. Are.
Sass
Does.
Harry
Does you know South Dakota have high school bobsled teams? No. No. All right. So you have to actually invent almost a. Pretty much an Olympic training program, which would presume to have a lot of expense behind it.
Roan
So the tracks are always just. The bobsleds are always at the tracks.
Sass
What do you mean?
Roan
No one's taking their bobsled home?
Sass
Oh, who knows? Sharpen the blades.
Harry
Yeah. The skids.
Sass
I mean, they definitely might.
Roan
So just. Tracks are stocks with bobsleds. I don't think you carry them.
Harry
No.
Sass
I think you'd have to have your custom.
Roan
I guess in cool runnings, they're like, carrying the bobsled around.
Sass
Yeah. Also, what's the one where it's just like, the one. The luge.
Harry
Do you know how. You know, coming back to this point. But at least lacrosse made an effort. I remember there would always be these inner city lacrosse outreach programs, like, you know, nonprofit organizations where coaches would go into the inner city and provide equipment and try to, like, strike up a game. You never see fucking polo ponies walking around the hood. You don't see a whole lot of, like, jumps being set up for fucking horseback riding in Harlem.
Sass
Yeah, yeah. No, that is true. I mean, I think, like, I'm thinking right off the bat, richest sports, horseback riding.
Roan
You threw NASCAR out there. I think nascar.
Sass
I think it's nascar.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah.
Sass
Like, you can't just Formula one To nascar, go kart, all that. How do you get in? It's not. You just go to your dad one day and you're like, I want to race.
Harry
No, you start that, you start go kart racing, though. Carting is how the kids do it.
Sass
It.
Roan
That's why they're all juniors, too. It's like, because they're driving from the time they're three years old. Dad's a nascar. NASCAR driver already.
Harry
Dude, by the way, hockey is pretty expensive, too.
Sass
Yeah, hockey is definitely expensive.
Harry
Ice time is insane.
Sass
Well, it's not the ice time. It's the gear.
Harry
I thought it was ice time. Oh, figure skating is really, really expensive.
Sass
Yeah, well, when you play hockey, the team gets the ice time.
Harry
I get it. But I'm saying, for that same note, figure skating, I, I, I. As far as I can tell, there's no, like, figure skating teams, so it's always one on one. I have a coach. I have a singular coach.
Sass
Yeah, I think that's how it works, but I don't know how that I'd assume that's, like, they get, like, a part of the ice. Unless you're at, like, the top level, then you probably just have your own rink. Yeah, we built a. We built a ice rink in our yard when I was younger.
Harry
That's cool.
Sass
Yeah, it was sick.
Roan
What'd you build it out of?
Sass
My dad did, like, you just, like, put a tarp down and then. Yeah, you put, like, a border with wood planks, and then you flood it.
Harry
That's cool.
Roan
Your dad. Everything I hear about your dad, he seems like he was such an engaged dad, like, he wanted you to succeed at hockey so much, was doing so much for you guys.
Sass
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, he definitely. When me and my older sister, or me and my older sister played sports, definitely. But then we really quickly realized that there probably wasn't a bright future in athleticism for anyone in our family.
Harry
Do you think your dad would like me?
Sass
Yeah. I mean, my dad likes everybody.
Harry
Well, no, come on. Would he really? I mean, do you think we would be friends?
Sass
Yeah, I'm sure you guys would get along.
Roan
Would he be one of your top guys? Like, would he be one of. Would you be one of Mr. S's top guys?
Harry
Yeah. Do you think he would. Do you think he'd approve of me more than Bo? No, he loves Bo.
Sass
Yeah, but does.
Harry
Does he know that Bo moved to Alabama and has kind of lost his way?
Sass
No, but he's. No.
Roan
Bo just has a head start. It's not your fault.
Harry
He's got a huge. How long would it take for me to overtake Bo in your dad's eyes? Years.
Sass
I don't know. He doesn't see Bo a lot.
Harry
Does your dad know how good of an influence I am on you?
Sass
No.
Harry
Does he think that I'm a better influence on you than Bo?
Sass
No.
Harry
Why not? Look at Bo.
Sass
Because Bo's not an influence on me at all.
Harry
Well, nor should he be.
Roan
I know his dad's the man because he actively keeps him from us. One time, I was at the same Bucks game as his dad, and he was keeping your dad. We couldn't meet him. He's like.
Harry
He's.
Sass
They were at the same Bucks game, and I was like. I'm not like, they. They were both in, like, areas that you couldn't get to. Rowan's, like, on the court, and my dad's in some, like, corporate box.
Harry
Why was your dad at a Bucks game?
Sass
Because he works in Wisconsin.
Harry
Does he?
Sass
Yeah. Or he did for a while. I don't think he does anymore.
Harry
Traveling back and forth.
Sass
That's why we moved to Wisconsin for, like, two months.
Harry
I remember that now.
Roan
Do you remember that?
Sass
But, yeah, they were at the same Bucks game together, and it was just.
Roan
And he kept us apart, and I was just like, bro, just like, let us correspond with each other. We'll probably have a lot of similarities.
Sass
Roan's texting me. He's like, tell your dad to come down to the court.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
And I was like, that. There's no way that's happening.
Roan
I would have gone to your dad.
Sass
I think I just asked for standing by the court. Like, which one's wrong?
Harry
Yeah. Well, yeah.
Roan
I mean, it would be so nice. I don't think that I was just like, connect this. I don't think it was like that. That. Out of bounds.
Sass
It was out of bounds.
Harry
Is the best. Is not the best chance. Look, I really would like to meet your dad.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Is the best chance for me to do that in Massachusetts.
Sass
I have no idea.
Roan
You'd have to find a way to get into his life consistently.
Sass
Like, my dad's in New York all the time.
Roan
Show up with, like, a. Like, your hockey gears.
Harry
Oh, yeah. I'd have to. I'd have to stage a meet cute.
Roan
Yes. And satisfy his. Want to have this athletic son.
Harry
Bump into him at Home Depot and be like, oh, shit. Are you buying a 20 by 20 tarp, too? Build a rink, Build a backyard and make a. Oh, shit. You don't happen to know the best wood to use to create the border. Right.
Sass
We didn't even have the. I had another friend who also. They built a rink every year. And theirs was like, it was nice, fine tuned. That was. It was like an actual hockey rink.
Roan
Oh, so your dad was just like, man, they're not building a ring. Build a rink. How. How good are the Johnsons?
Sass
We did it. We did it. I think we did it one or two years. And then my dad was like, we're not doing this again. Because it was. It was a lot of work, dude.
Harry
If I. If I ran into your dad at Home Depot and we started talking.
Sass
My dad probably hasn't been to a Home Depot in 15 years.
Harry
Yeah. But that's why he's not.
Sass
He. That was the last thing he's done with his hands was build that hockey rink.
Harry
Damn. Well, let's just play it out, right? Like, I think I know enough to win his, like, phone number from him.
Sass
Definitely not in a Home Depot.
Harry
I'd be like, you know, I'm building this ring for my son. But to be honest with you, I don't know if he. I don't know if he thinks. I don't know if he's putting in enough effort. And I. I'd imagine this might be our last year because I refuse to drive everywhere for my son to play hockey if. If his heart's not really in it.
Sass
It.
Harry
And he'd be like, boy, are you preaching to the choir.
Roan
Yeah.
Sass
That was always a big one. Like, if you didn't. If you didn't want to skate on the rink outside, like, oh, so I just built the rink for nothing.
Harry
Exactly. Exactly. I. I know I'm hitting the nail on the head here.
Sass
And you feel like I. I just got home from school.
Harry
Yeah. And I'd be like, you know, my kid. My kids got a lot of promise and potential, but that, you know, instead of applying himself in school, he's just tweeting all the time.
Sass
Yes. Can't get off Twitter.
Roan
What did he want you to do, like, sprints on it?
Sass
No, I. I have no idea. I mean, we go skate with you sometimes. Yeah.
Roan
That's probably nice.
Harry
He's got a beautiful golf swing, but dad. No, My son. Oh, there's a me. I'm still talking to you.
Sass
He's got a fine. So you got a fine swing. Beautiful. Your dad.
Roan
You got a better swing than your dad.
Sass
Definitely. I got a better swing than most.
Roan
That's true. But I didn't know if you got it from your father. I Don't know if he served you
Sass
that butter self taught.
Harry
I'd like to meet your dad.
Sass
I think.
Roan
I think we should be able to find him. We should be able to get.
Sass
This was enough. The conversation was enough to never have that happen.
Harry
I mean, you get out to Milwaukee
Roan
there, it's like there's a hundred thousand people out there.
Harry
We'll go to a Bucks game and there's only so many boxes. Yeah, I'll find my way in.
Sass
Yeah, you'll find your way.
Harry
Like I'm sorry, I'm looking. Is there a Mr. Settle in this box?
Roan
See, I said Mr. S. Dude. I don't want to get us all his business. This out there now they could really find him. There's no one in Milwaukee.
Harry
And then, you know, if I ever ended, he. He'd bring me over to the house at some point for dinner and I'd just show up with like bundles of yarn.
Sass
Yeah. Yeah. For the knitting ladies. Yeah.
Harry
Huge.
Sass
You guys, I don't even think they. They don't do that anymore. It's just all there. It's all on tick tock now.
Roan
That's how they keep their mind sharp using their thumb stays off dementia. If you just scroll a lot.
Harry
Damn. That's it. There's no more knitting circles.
Sass
No, just tick tock. No, they still knit. My sister just. My sister knits too. My younger sister.
Harry
You think she would knit something for us? Like a hat?
Sass
She made a hat. She just made a hat.
Roan
How about in the Christmas season, some stockings so she could get a start now.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
Yeah. It would probably take a long time.
Harry
I know. I hope you know that like my. As silly as all of this sounds like I really do like your family.
Sass
You don't know any of them.
Harry
I know who they.
Sass
You've literally never met one of them.
Harry
I know who they made though.
Sass
No, no.
Harry
And you're pretty darn good.
Sass
Have you met it? Have you ever. You haven't even met any. In my family.
Roan
No, I haven't.
Harry
No. How.
Sass
Well, you met my dad.
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
You met his dad?
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
How tall is he? Come on. Looks exactly like Sass. Now I need to meet this. This awesome guy.
Sass
No, no.
Roan
Yeah. I wonder what he looks like.
Harry
I'll. I'll introduce you to my dad. If you introduce me to your dad.
Sass
I think we just.
Harry
You want to do a home and home.
Sass
Yeah, we'll just do like a healthy meat in the middle with none. With none of that.
Harry
No dads.
Sass
No dads.
Harry
What if we introduced our dads to
Sass
each Other I wouldn't be opposed to that.
Roan
But how social are your guys's dads?
Sass
Not social.
Roan
Really?
Harry
No, My dad is like impossibly social. My dad is relentlessly social. My dad will. My dad will be walking off an airplane and like he'll match the pace of the person in front of him. Be like, where are you headed? My mom sends us. My mom will send me pictures of my dad waiting for baggage.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Where he is talking to like random people at the baggage claim and just be like, here he is talking to these two kids.
Sass
That's hilarious. Yeah, no, that's not what my. That's not like that at all.
Harry
He thinks. My dad thinks he's like an ambassador of the world and he's so, so chipper and so like upbeat and he just wants to get to know everybody and like he wants to, he wants to bring happiness.
Sass
I mean, that just sounds exactly like you.
Harry
That me?
Sass
Yeah. You're dead.
Harry
You're not your first day on the pod.
Sass
You're not talking to people on the jet bridge.
Harry
No, I don't, I don't. I'm actually very. I'm so different from my dad.
Sass
Everyone.
Roan
I'll strike up conversation.
Harry
Everyone.
Sass
Everyone thinks they're different.
Roan
He seems awesome.
Harry
Awesome. I don't talk to people.
Sass
You. You talked.
Harry
When have you ever seen me? Like when we went to.
Sass
Or when we went to Orlando. You were talking to all the guys waiting for their golf bags.
Roan
Oh, but that's me. That's a different. A golf guy.
Harry
They knew who they would come up to.
Sass
I don't knew that they knew you because you introduced yourself.
Harry
Francis Ellis, 4.7 index. How are you?
Roan
Oh, see you out there. Where are you playing this weekend?
Harry
That's what it was. Everybody, everybody knew from the Internet invitational because they were all golf people. Yeah, but if we're honest, think about this. When you and I split Ubers, whenever we land in a city to go do something together, you are the one talking to the Uber driver. And I'm silent.
Sass
Yeah, but that's by force because you. Because the Uber driver will talk and you're fine with just like. No one replies.
Harry
No, I just know you've got it because you're. You're the social one of the two of us.
Sass
Like a 40 second pause after the lady's like. So you guys are doing. He's doing hilarities.
Harry
I. I love cuz Harry. This is so true. I. I put him in the position of being the talker and it's so fun for me to Watch him have these meaningless conversations with Uber drivers in. In cities, you know, where it's. So you'll. You have to.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
You'll want a question.
Sass
Lingering.
Harry
No, I. I wouldn't. If I were alone in the Uber with the.
Roan
You do it to him. Yeah, Yeah.
Harry
I just know he's going to pick up the slack and I want him to do it.
Roan
Cuz he doesn't. He aids to be awkward.
Sass
I don't talk. I don't talk when I'm in Ubers by myself. I. I make it. No, like I put. I get in the car with the music already coming through the headphones so they know this guy can't hear you.
Harry
You're super polite though. Remember? Where was it that we were. Where did we do the co headlining where the woman picked us up? Yeah.
Roan
Clement Hilarities.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah. And her. Her Uber had all the lights and stuff in it, right? Right?
Sass
Oh, I don't know.
Harry
No, maybe not. No.
Sass
A little bit of a tinfoil hat.
Harry
Yeah, she. She was right.
Sass
She actually, I will say she ended up being right about everything.
Harry
I don't remember anything she said.
Sass
She was telling us about like the pizza gate and the Epstein stuff, and I was like, this. This lady's out of her mind.
Harry
Yeah, but you were, you were. You were urging her on.
Sass
Yeah, I was asking a lot.
Harry
You're like, who do you think's behind it? It's not Israel. Right?
Roan
You were.
Sass
Yeah, I was asking her her thoughts on it.
Harry
He was going back.
Sass
She ended up being right. So it's pretty crazy.
Harry
This woman can have a conversation with herself. She does not need anyone else.
Sass
Yeah, she. She can talk.
Roan
Have you guys watched that show Neighbors yet on hbo?
Harry
No.
Sass
I've heard it's really good though.
Roan
So good. But they just have all those people who just could like, talk to themselves and are just going to like, healing centers. It's amazing. It's so interesting. So well done.
Sass
I think I could talk for like, even like. I get like. I get like annoyed about having to like, talk all day. But then when I'm not talking, I just go home and I'm just making calls all day. I mean, I realized I just. I don't think I can like, sit by myself for that long.
Harry
Dude. I sit when I ride in the car for a long time now. I don't listen to anything anymore.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
I've stopped listening to anything at all.
Sass
But even when I'm like driving, I'm like, I call one of the. Call one of the fellows.
Harry
I will call People in the car. I like to do that. That I'm always calling my.
Roan
Why don't you listen to music or podcasts?
Harry
Can't. It's similar to how I can never find something to watch on TV anymore. I never really.
Sass
Yeah, I've kind of hit that. I. I don't. I haven't. I wouldn't say I've heard it all, but I go through phases where I'm like, I've heard it. I don't have a single song I want to hear right now.
Harry
I went through a great Olivia Dean phase, and then I beat that to death. And now I'm just not. I don't know, got nothing.
Roan
You should start listening to Stella Left.
Sass
He.
Roan
She'll get you right.
Harry
Still a lefty.
Roan
Yeah. Yeah.
Harry
Who. Who else have I been? Who do I. I was listening to.
Sass
I'm a little bit more of a. Like an alternate reggae. Like, a lot of. A lot of Sublime Everlast. I'm just kind of just.
Harry
I was listening to a lot of IDK and No id.
Roan
No id.
Harry
You know them Run.
Roan
It's a great producer.
Harry
Who. Kid. Who? Kid's got a lot of stuff that I like, like.
Roan
Oh, you're on a producer kick.
Sass
I don't really listen to, like, sad music anymore. I kind of just like, boxed all
Roan
of that out, you know, who has some crazy Brahms.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
I'm not familiar. Oh, my God.
Harry
Oh, wow. I like Brahms.
Roan
He has this lullaby.
Sass
Not for me.
Roan
It'll get your ass right to sleep.
Sass
Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like. I used to listen to a bunch of, like, you know, like, Bon Iver and. And like, all that, like, Phoebe Bridgers.
Roan
Yeah.
Sass
All that sad stuff. And then I just hit a point where I was like, I don't really want to be sad, so let's throw on a little Sublime.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah.
Sass
Bro in the Morning Santeria. Yeah, exactly. That's how I'm starting my days now.
Harry
I mean.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
By the way, you talked about how you have. You have no. Caffeine doesn't affect you.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
You'll never do it, but it would mean a lot to me if I could make you a coffee for my new set up.
Sass
No. Because I'm sure I'll have one sip of that and I'll be sweating out of every crevice.
Roan
He doesn't overdo it.
Harry
You just do one.
Sass
I'm not a big espresso guy.
Harry
Well, you don't have to have espresso.
Roan
Get a cappuccino.
Harry
I'LL make you a latte or I'll. Or I'll make you an americano. Or I'm gonna get a nice drip set up.
Sass
I could do an americano.
Harry
You'd have an Americano.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Yeah, that would be great.
Roan
Yeah. Americano is so much worse than drip coffee.
Sass
Yeah, it's been his for sure.
Roan
Americano is. That's why if you're going. If you're getting, like, espresso, you. And you don't want that, you might as well just go get a cappuccino, get some. Some weight to it. Like, an americano is so watered down that it doesn't have any life to it.
Sass
Yeah, maybe so.
Harry
Well, then I'm gonna get the Weber workshops bird or something like that. And it's like a pour over type situation.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
And I'm gonna. I'll be able to make you really good because I have amazing beans right now.
Roan
Harry. You know, I went over to his house and he made me an espresso.
Sass
This morning?
Roan
No, last week.
Harry
Yeah. It's chocolatey. Perfect crema.
Roan
It's not gonna have you sweating. It has this really nice crema. Really perfect crema.
Harry
You love the crema.
Roan
It's fine. It'll have you going nuts.
Sass
I think the last time I had an espresso, I was in France and I was really hungover and I didn't really sleep. And I remember sitting outside in France and I got an espresso, and I remember drinking it and then going and having, like, the worst diarrhea. Like, I was. It was. It was like, you know, like, I don't even know if you guys, like, could relate to that, but, like, do I remember? Like, there was a clear moment in my life where it was like, I don't have anxiety, and now I've got it.
Harry
Oh, yeah. Spot on. Dude. What a great. What? Like, great point. You just.
Sass
I used to be able to just, like, be one hour of sleep.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
Drank 20 shots of vodka the night before, and now I'm gonna have five espressos just to get the wheels going again.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
Like, if I did that now I would die. Like, I would have, like, a. I would be. I would be getting, like, airlifted to a hospital in a straight jacket.
Harry
Well, hold on a second, though. I do think that we felt anxiety when we were younger, but we didn't. Maybe we didn't know how to recognize the labeling of. Yeah.
Sass
I think that's probably what I used
Harry
to have so much anxiety about when I would get in trouble.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
The consequences of that or my parents finding out, you know, on and on. I was. I would be consumed by it. I remember I got into a fender bender one day coming home from school.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
And I just tapped the guy in front of me. He had this old rusty pickup truck to the degree that when I hit the car, rust fell off. I. I cleaned it, I improved his car, pulled over. We exchanged information and all that. And then I remember going home, and I was probably 16, 17, and I remember we made it all the way to dinner, and I was silent at the dinner table. Silent. And everyone's having that normal meal around you, and they're kind of like. And, and, and. And it finally just. It was eating me up. I couldn't even eat my food. I thought. I thought I'd committed a cardinal sin. And I finally had to come clean and say, I got into an accident today.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
They're like, oh, my God, are you okay? And I was like, yeah. I was going three and I hit this guy's car. I mean, I thought. I thought it was going to cost our family tens of thousands of dollars. And they were like, oh, okay. And it was okay. It was fine. But it just churned away at my soul. Anyway, the point is that that was anxiety then.
Sass
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you mean now.
Harry
It manifests in me in that I can't sleep. Yeah. And that didn't used to happen.
Sass
Yeah, yeah. I just remember, like, I used to. Everyone, all my friends used to be like, you're always paranoid about everything. And I would just be like, I don't think I really am. I'm just, like, worried. But yeah. Then, then, then once I started having the panic attacks, it started coming in in a whole different new way.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
And then it was like, oh, apparently I get nervous now and then I can't breathe.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
I get so nervous.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
Yeah. Labeling it does make it worse sometimes.
Sass
Definitely la.
Roan
Because you're like, oh, that's what this is. Like, not labeling it and not being able to dissociate from it is like. Then it becomes like all, all consumer.
Sass
Yeah. Yeah.
Harry
Here comes the chemical imbalance in my brain again, against which I have no meaningful defense. I have a series of meaningless breathing exercises that will potentially staunch the hemorrhage of fear that is happening taking over my body right now.
Sass
Yeah. It is weird because it was just like, I. I like, yeah. I feel like I just used to be just, you know, you just kind of just coast.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah.
Sass
There's like, nothing really that bad's going to Happen.
Harry
Well, you did have that. What you've described to me, your high school days in a way that I could never imagine.
Sass
Yeah, it was kind of just like consequences aren't real. So it was like I would get in trouble, but I wouldn't really. I would be like, okay, I was.
Harry
I live.
Sass
I would be like, furious, but I wouldn't be like, like nervous.
Harry
I lived in fear of trouble.
Sass
Yeah, I did too, but I would be. I got in trouble so much. Like every day it was something new and it would be like that. I don't even. I didn't even know I did.
Harry
How did you. I. I've never understood because I know you. You're smart, you're capable, you're organized, and you have drive. Right.
Sass
I wouldn't say I'm organized, but I'm.
Harry
I have a doubt to some degree, though. Like, you're not a mess. My point is that growing up, you described to me how you would get a bad grade in a class.
Sass
Yeah. Yeah. All the time.
Harry
I don't. I can't figure that out.
Sass
I don't know.
Harry
I don't know how. I don't know how you dealt with that, folks. Son of a boy. Dad is brought to you by the League. The League is a dating app that I am having a lot of fun with. I'm going to be honest with you. You, you know, dating, kind of a weird thing to navigate if you're me, you know, post divorce. Right. Slightly known figure, loved by some, hated by many. There's a lot of reasons it. It could be tough for me to find the right person to spend time with, but the League has been curating and presenting wonderful, spectacular, high caliber women for me every day. I get these. These groups of people to sort of converse with and to match with, and I get to see who likes me and learn a little bit more about them. And it's not just simple pictures and endless scrolling where I lose the sense that the people that I'm seeing are even people.
Sass
Right.
Harry
I'm learning about these people and I have a couple of fun dates planned and I'm enjoying it. It is definitely the most intentional sort of dating app that I've ever had any experience with. And it's thoughtfully curated to keep the community high quality and intentional. It's not about exclusivity, it's about efficiency and quality. Date in a way that respects your time and your standards. Join me on the League, download the app and apply today.

Sass
Yeah, it was a lot of like it was, it was pretty much just being disorganized. Like I would, there would be like homework assignments that I would not do but I didn't even know I had to do them because I wasn't paying attention when they were explaining that we had to do them.
Harry
Got it.
Sass
So like every day when I would get home from school I would have to text people and say what's the homework? Like what do we have to do for homework tonight? Cause I would never know.
Harry
Isn't that pretty typical ADD though? Isn't that sort of pretty much.
Sass
Yeah, no, I'm Definitely. I struggle with testing. I struggle with. I mean, I struggle with testing. I don't think you can tell you struggle with testing if you don't pay attention during class. Class, you know,
Harry
what would you do?
Sass
That's what they would always try to like, an. They would be like, he struggles with tests. And it was like, no, I just don't know what I'm. I don't know anything. It's like, yeah, no, I struggle with it. I don't know the answer.
Harry
So. But let me. Can I ask. So you do possess information.
Sass
You.
Harry
You have a trove of.
Sass
Of intel, mostly about Israel right now.
Harry
I've seen hints of. Of what I would only call, like, real brilliance from you.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
And I'm wondering where that seeped in from. What were the things that you. Where your brain said, I actually do care to learn this and I'm going to commit myself to it. What do those tend to be like in school? I don't know.
Roan
He just wanted attention and he was. That's why I went on Twitter.
Sass
Yeah, pretty much.
Roan
He just wanted to get some followers attention.
Harry
Hold four.
Roan
And then he started doing stand up. He was like, I want attention live.
Sass
Yeah. I said, I want to be famous
Roan
and I'll do anything to get there.
Sass
At 12.
Harry
I feel like. I feel like you could build a car. No, I feel like you could build a PC.
Sass
I think the PC stuff people like, over complicate. It's really easy.
Roan
You can build a car, bro.
Harry
I couldn't build a PC.
Sass
Yes, you could.
Harry
No, I promise you I could not.
Sass
I promise you you could.
Harry
Good. I've never understood any of that stuff.
Sass
It's literally doing Legos.
Roan
If you play Call of Duty, you can kill a man.
Sass
Exactly.
Roan
I seriously.
Sass
No, if you could build, you could build a PC easily. It's just screwing in. There's. You come. Everything comes with a pamphlet this big with the directions.
Harry
Mozart, Haydn. They saw a piano and it just made sense to them.
Roan
Right.
Sass
I could always play. Play.
Roan
We could always build.
Sass
I could always build.
Roan
I knew that about you.
Harry
Interesting.
Roan
What'd you do all weekend? Sat inside, just watch Call of Duty. That's sick.
Sass
It was a long weekend.
Roan
How do you rest your eyes for something like that?
Sass
I feel like sometimes I would just get off camera and just close my eyes and just stand for like two minutes hovering there.
Roan
Yeah, you need a 70 inch, honestly, is what you need.
Sass
And every time I come back, everyone's like, oh, my God. Sass just took the biggest bong rip. I was just Standing in my kitchen in front of the air conditioner.
Roan
Oh, man.
Harry
I made steak tacos last night with strip steak. Oh.
Sass
Oh, that's powerful.
Roan
What kind of tortillas?
Harry
No, not strip steak. Excuse me? Skirt.
Sass
Skirt steak.
Harry
Made it with skirt steak. I just use regular flour tortillas, but I threw them over an open burner.
Roan
I like. I prefer flour. I think they can kind of, like, totally grab it a little bit more.
Harry
Yeah, for the most part.
Sass
I hate the corn.
Harry
Corn ones are a little too. Get too crispy. I like. I did that, and then I made a homemade chimichurri, which was epic.
Roan
That's amazing. What's in that?
Harry
A lot of parsley, olive oil, cilantro. No.
Roan
What the fuck?
Harry
What was it? It was.
Sass
Do you guys put rice on tacos? And if you were to. Would you classify that as a burrito? Burrito?
Harry
No.
Roan
I think a breakfast taco sometimes has some rice in it.
Sass
When I make taco, like, when I have tacos at home, I always put rice on it.
Harry
I think that's fine. I just don't know. It wouldn't be a burrito. Burrito has to be enclosed.
Sass
I see.
Roan
Why do you do it?
Sass
I don't know. I just. I had that conversation with someone recently.
Roan
I think if it's in a hard taco shell, that doesn't turn it into a burrito.
Sass
No.
Harry
Agreement.
Sass
Agreed. Continue.
Roan
But I don't know how you're putting rice on a taco, Ron.
Sass
Great.
Harry
I'm not kidding you. When I. This whole episode I have, when I am talking to Harry and looking at him 100% of the time, I assume that is two bananas.
Sass
I've been wondering what that is for a while.
Harry
It's just out of the corner of my eye. And I'm telling you, my brain has told me for the. Even though. And I clarify, I'm like, why would Roan hang two bananas on that mic stand?
Sass
Isn't that one of those, like, headbands that, like, girls wear after they, like, shower?
Harry
Yeah, that's for. Or that's for, like, figure skating.
Roan
Well, this has been in. It just got in here now.
Sass
It's been there for, like, weeks.
Roan
Was it from the Gilliam Wallow episode or something?
Harry
I'm telling you because it's fuzzy and I saw the eyes, and I'm just. I'm just. My brain is immediately telling me that it is the Chiquita banana sticker. It's the same colors. It's the blue and the white. So that's the sticker. And Then it was hanging and it was two bananas the whole time. And then I would. I'd look at it and be like, oh, no, it's a spongebob.
Roan
Yeah.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
And then I'd go back to talking to you and I'd be like, golly, Ron keeps distracting. Putting these bananas on the fucking mic stand.
Sass
Every time you look away, it was.
Harry
It was so crazy.
Sass
And then when you're not looking, he swaps the spongebob headband back.
Roan
That makes you want to do it really bad.
Sass
Yeah, that would be awesome.
Roan
I need to get some bananas.
Sass
Yeah, that's definitely like a girl at the offices.
Harry
No.
Roan
No way.
Sass
Yes. You think that's Gilly and Wallows?
Roan
White girls wear that.
Sass
Yeah, I think.
Roan
Really?
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
I don't think I knew that. It looks comfy as hell. Or is it.
Sass
Does it go over your eyes? Is it a sleep mask?
Roan
It could be a sleep mask.
Sass
Oh, wait, I think it is. It has eyes on the front. It's a sleep mask.
Roan
Try it. Put it on as a sleep mask.
Sass
It's a sleep mask.
Roan
It's probably a sleep mask.
Sass
It's a sleep mask. Yeah.
Roan
Which makes it more likely to be one of Gillian Wallow's guests. Maybe. Somebody wears it real swaggy.
Sass
Who did they have on Takashi69?
Roan
I think he could. He could rock that. Did he just say he was broke?
Sass
Probably.
Roan
I think he's out of. Out of cash. That bummed me out.
Sass
He's a bum.
Roan
What do you mean?
Sass
Of course he's out of cash.
Roan
He's an entrepreneur.
Sass
Guy's a bum. And he's a pedophile. Allegedly.
Roan
That's true.
Harry
True.
Roan
Can't argue with that.
Sass
I don't know. Isn't that why he went to jail?
Roan
Yeah, but he did the. Did the time, did the crime.
Harry
Was that why not even alleged?
Sass
Yeah, well, I think. I think it was like, I don't know, something with Israel. I don't even know what it was.
Roan
I saw you fuming about Cash Patel.
Sass
Oh, yeah. That guy's a bum.
Roan
I saw you.
Sass
That guy's a bum.
Roan
Hot as hell. About Cash Patel.
Sass
I hate that guy. Guy, you should go to prison.
Roan
The worst part was that when he was like, get.
Sass
We'll get it.
Roan
The. Done, sir. We'll get. We'll get the. On it, sir.
Sass
I mean, dude, imagine winning the. The gold medal in the Olympics for hockey. And then there's just this random dude from the. Like, you're like, why are you here?
Roan
Oh, that's the FBI.
Sass
Yeah. What the are you doing?
Roan
But I actually don't care at all. I think that it's. I don't care who they party, and I don't think if you're in a situation like that, you can be expected to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Like, what's he doing here? You just keep on partying. You just won the gold medal. No one's gonna stop partying.
Sass
Yeah, but he wasn't. It wasn't like. He was just like. He was the. It was like they hired him.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
It was like a Drew skis.
Sass
It was like the party was built around Cash Patel.
Roan
He was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Harry
Actually, I didn't see any of that.
Sass
He was like spinning the beer and chugging it.
Roan
He was doing like a Russian like. Like low, like pop kick in the middle of the locker room.
Sass
It's like the mail room scene in Elk. Such a good scene.
Harry
That's such an amazing.
Roan
Exactly.
Sass
That is a hilarious scene.
Roan
Oh, my God.
Sass
All right.
Roan
Olympics over, bro.
Sass
I know. Went fast.
Roan
Sad.
Harry
Ended strong, though.
Sass
Ended strong.
Harry
That game was iconic and that I hadn't really cared about much until that. And then now I'm gonna think of this as a good Olympic.
Sass
It was a great Olympics.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Well, size. You were saying you cared about the women winning.
Sass
Of course.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
How could you not?
Roan
That figure skater with the crazy hair.
Sass
That crazy haired figure skater.
Roan
Yeah.
Sass
What's her deal? I feel like I'm seeing a lot of on Twitter about her. She a plant?
Roan
Might be a beast. She has. She. She's got to be Israeli.
Sass
Yeah. Where's she actually from? That's what I'm asking.
Harry
Yeah. I don't know.
Sass
Jerusalem.
Harry
Talking about who's. Who's this?
Sass
Those skates were promised to her 3,000 years ago.
Roan
The go humor out of this one.
Sass
I'm just around. I don't know anything about her or Israel, to be honest.
Roan
Right. Yeah, you better not.
Sass
All right, thank you guys for listening. Listening. We will see you on Thursday.
Harry
I looked older to you Came around I was only falling one way I was only falling one way
Roan
James

Sass

Harry
No one could take me alive.
