Sweet.
Barstool Host
How do you.
Harrison
Is it. Is there any kind of science to. Is this too far?
Barstool Co-Host
Okay.
Barstool Host
Yeah, it was a little far. I think, like, that'll be perfect.
Harrison
Okay, cool.
Barstool Host
You want to test Tyler or. He's good.
Harrison
Cool.
Dylan
Sweet. Great.
Barstool Co-Host
All righty. Welcome back to the Son of a Boy Dad Podcast. Today it is. It's March 11th, and we're here live from HQ3 and we're joined with our
Barstool Host
guests Harrison and Dylan, who, honestly, we just have been. We've been cooing about neighbors for a minute.
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, yeah.
Barstool Host
So we're just. Yeah, we're pretty psyched to have you in. Honestly, I can't believe that it came together this. This quickly and this fortuitously for us. Hey, good work.
Dylan
Hey.
Barstool Co-Host
Thank you.
Oh, yeah, we're big fans. We love the show.
It's a treat.
Dylan
Oh, thanks for having us here.
Harrison
This is cool.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, of course.
Have you guys done any podcasts?
Harrison
We've done.
Barstool Host
I saw you guys on a Zoom call. I saw you on Au Run. A Zoom, I think.
Dylan
Right.
Barstool Host
And I saw you guys on a red carpet also.
Harrison
Yeah.
Dylan
Yeah.
Harrison
I'm glad you're keeping tabs.
Dylan
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Barstool Host
We've done a couple.
Dylan
We've done a couple. We're still learning. Still learning.
Barstool Co-Host
Cool. Well, this one will not add any value.
Harrison
Okay, great.
Dylan
This will kind of unlearn.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Okay. This is a training mechanism for other pods. You might do great.
Barstool Host
Not even really, because you're not going to pick up anything here that you'll be able to take to anywhere else. I think it's pretty individual experience.
Barstool Co-Host
It's pretty pretty.
Harrison
No, you guys are cool. I think we'll learn something. I feel like I'm learning now.
Barstool Host
I didn't know that you're a Philly guy.
Harrison
I'm a Philly guy.
Barstool Host
Where. Whereabouts are in. In the Philly area from?
Harrison
My dad has always lived in Center City, and then my mom lives in the suburbs.
Barstool Host
Oh, hell yeah.
Dylan
Marion.
Barstool Host
Yeah, I went to Waldron, which is in lower Marion. Walter Racing Academy.
Harrison
What the hell?
Barstool Host
Yeah. Isn't that fucking nuts?
Harrison
That's nuts.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Harrison
You like Philly?
Barstool Host
I love it. I think it's one of the better. Like one of the top six cities in the Union.
Harrison
Yes, dude.
Dylan
Totally. Don't you think?
Barstool Host
Where are you from?
Dylan
I'm from the Bay Area.
Barstool Host
So what do you think about I mean, I think. I think that San Fran is one of the top six cities. I would agree.
Dylan
I would agree.
Barstool Co-Host
Yes.
Dylan
I think. I think it's dropped a tad over the years.
Barstool Co-Host
Really?
Dylan
I think it's on the. On the decline.
Barstool Co-Host
Really? Because I feel like that's what everyone says, but then people that are from there, like. No, it's actually the greatest.
Dylan
No, no. I think it just like I grew up there, right. Before all just tech took over San Francisco in the Bay Area.
Harrison
Yeah.
Dylan
And it just has since just become this like kind of just. I don't know, like, just dudes who wear Patagonia vests and like, it's super sterile and just. I don't know, it lost the. Lost the ed edge that it had.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah. The artsy, sort of, you know, protesty type thing. I'll tell you.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
When you go to Chestnut street and the bars and stuff like that, I mean, the social life there is. Is a little insipid and really, really heavily male. It was my. Oh, it's a lot of dudes. Interesting.
Dylan
Yeah, interesting.
Harrison
Isn't that the gay.
Barstool Host
Is that the gay dish?
Barstool Co-Host
No, no, no, that's the tenderloin.
Right.
Barstool Host
Got it.
Barstool Co-Host
Or no. Is the tenderloin gay?
Dylan
No. Well, possibly.
Barstool Co-Host
It's more not nominally Telegraph Hill.
Dylan
Oh, God. Where is it? How am I forgetting the name?
Barstool Host
We did a walk around San Francisco and there were. There's three dudes that just. That were standing outside ass naked, sunny, sunning their dicks. And apparently they've been doing it the same three dudes for like 20 plus years.
Dylan
They're just.
Barstool Co-Host
Their dicks must be sun. Properly. Sun.
Harrison
It feels really good. Really? Yeah, it feels. It feels amazing. You guys have ever done that?
Barstool Co-Host
I don't think my. My dick has ever seen sunlight.
Dylan
Really?
Barstool Co-Host
I don't think my dick has ever seen electric lamp light.
Harrison
Dude, guys, sun them.
Barstool Host
Yeah.
Dylan
Yeah. Feels great.
Harrison
I think it's really good for you.
Barstool Co-Host
It probably is.
Barstool Host
I've heard of sunning your asshole is the most efficient way to absorb vitamin C, I think.
Barstool Co-Host
I believe it would be.
Barstool Host
D. D, I'm sorry.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Are you sure it's not a beer? But it's a. Oh.
Barstool Host
Drinking orange juice through your asshole is the fastest way.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Right, right, right.
Harrison
That seems tough.
Barstool Co-Host
Right?
Harrison
You need a funnel.
Barstool Co-Host
You need a funnel and you need the ability to swallow.
Harrison
Right, right,
Dylan
right. I think. Right.
Barstool Host
And gulp. I think that is possible.
Harrison
It would be. It would make more sense to eat out of your ass than your mouth.
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, totally.
Harrison
I wish. Yeah, right.
Barstool Co-Host
And then you Just shit it right out right after.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Host
You're saying the same hole.
Dylan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Suck it up.
Barstool Co-Host
And D. You guys picked this up quick. Didn't take long. Welcome to Son of a Boy Dad.
Yeah, no, I think that would be way more efficient.
Harrison
Well, there's something disgusting about eating it. There's something. If you think about it too hard,
Barstool Host
you know, eating out of the thing you kiss with everything you, like, kiss your babies with. Yeah, right.
Barstool Co-Host
Also, then you could eat way healthier too, because you don't have any taste buds.
Harrison
Like.
Barstool Host
Yeah, no, there are taste buds on your.
Barstool Co-Host
No, Yeah, I think I did.
Barstool Host
I've said. I've said this before. Matt, can you. Can you just confirm that. That there are taste buds on your. Yeah, because I'm just about. Mac, Mac, Mac asking, but I'm positive that there are taste buds on your.
Barstool Co-Host
It also says on the balls.
Harrison
Really? What?
Barstool Host
Yes, at the second, so.
Dylan
Really?
Barstool Co-Host
Well, it's just. I mean, I might try this later.
Harrison
Good God. Good God.
Barstool Co-Host
So if I were to throw, like, some hot sauce on my balls when I get home after this, would I be able to be.
Barstool Host
I think you could do the Pepsi Ch Challenge with your. I think Cerning can taste the difference between Pepsi and. And the other brands.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, that's the Chick Fil.
Barstool Host
A Diet Coke a little bit watered down, but yeah. Dude, we're obsessed with. With the show, and it's four episodes out right now.
Dylan
That's right.
Barstool Host
And it's. It's for people that don't know. How would you guys best describe it? Because I don't want to assume that everybody who's listening to this has. Has watched it. So how would you guys term. Term your project that you.
Harrison
I mean, it's basically, simply put, a.
Barstool Co-Host
A.
Harrison
A docu series where we follow real people around the country dealing with neighbor disputes in real time. And I think we were. We really were obsessed with, like, having it happen just unfolding before you. You know what I mean? Like, in real time. I think there's a lot of documentaries and stuff that are really, like, in the past, and it's with archival. But I think we were just excited about really following people in the middle of one of these things. Hardcore.
Barstool Co-Host
If you can't say the answer to this. Excuse me, but are you gonna show resolutions to each episode? Are we coming back to some of these characters later? Don't answer it. I'm so curious. And through one episode, have fallen in love with some of these people.
Harrison
Do you mean like on another season or do you Mean in this. In the season currently, right here.
Barstool Co-Host
Sure. Whatever you feel you could answer.
Harrison
Interesting.
Dylan
That's interesting.
Barstool Co-Host
Well, I think that's interesting.
Harrison
What you see in the episode is really what we have right now. Oh, yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Have I just. Certainly. I haven't given you the idea for a new season. We could go back.
Dylan
Yeah, Harrison, we got to write that down.
Barstool Host
Yeah, exactly.
Harrison
We'll be right back.
Dylan
Yeah.
Harrison
What's funny, a lot of people online are being like. Yeah, like, you know, they want to see more of these people. And I think, like, to us, we were like, you know. I mean. Yeah, I don't know. We would love to do it.
Barstool Co-Host
It felt as if you sort of cliffhang us a bit. Certainly on episode two, I think, where it's the farm guy in the residential neighborhood and he's like, I'm not going to pay attention to this town hall voting thing. I'm going to get more animals.
Dylan
He's just going to keep going. Right.
Barstool Co-Host
And like, you dangled that for me. And I was like, o. This is not resolved at all. Yeah.
Barstool Host
So I. Yeah, it's.
Dylan
It.
Harrison
You.
Barstool Host
You get like. You get obsessed with the characters really quickly. And I think it's. A lot of it is because it feels really real and I think a lot of it is like, there's at one point, I think in like episode three, it almost feels like, dangerous. Yeah. Like, you guys were almost like, like threatened. Who was it?
Dylan
The.
Barstool Host
The. The really sexy dude.
Barstool Co-Host
Ellen DeGeneres fan.
Barstool Host
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Harrison
Johnny. Yeah.
Barstool Host
Like, and I don't want to keep on assuming that everybody has seen it, but so what his dispute was that he.
Barstool Co-Host
His Vietnam with that neighbor. They're both. They both think they're spying on each other.
Barstool Host
Right.
Barstool Co-Host
And the. One of the vet has set up like, legitimate fucking weird artistic cameras with cranes and stuff to look over his fence, I assume. And then Johnny is just constantly taking photographs. I mean, his whole life.
Dylan
He's ultimately an artist.
Barstool Host
He is.
Harrison
When he showed us photographer, his photography is like, unbelievable.
Barstool Co-Host
Come on.
Harrison
I'm not kidding.
Barstool Co-Host
Ones you selected to show us. There's a lizard mating. There's frogs mating.
Dylan
He has an eye.
Barstool Co-Host
I was like, that's not. He's not framing that. He's just capturing. Capturing to share with, you know?
Harrison
Right. The first time he had four yolks.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, exactly.
Harrison
That, like, was really, like, poignant, you know what I mean? Like, because, like, I feel like everybody cracks. Cracks of yolk and if there's two. Or an egg and has two yolks in it and you're like.
Barstool Host
Like right after that episode, my wife was.
Barstool Co-Host
She.
Barstool Host
She cracked a fresh 12 and every single egg was double.
Harrison
No.
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, really?
Barstool Host
24. I swear to God.
Barstool Co-Host
Take like a video.
Barstool Host
Four yolks. No, I mean, but I think that that speaks to it. Like, that's the kind of thing you want to share, but it's like a little bit too small to share.
Barstool Co-Host
But I mean, if you get all 12 are doubled, that's like you got to call somebody.
Dylan
Yeah, that's.
Harrison
It makes me. Exactly. It makes me concerned about what.
Barstool Host
What's happening at the farm.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Host
What is going on at that farm
Barstool Co-Host
or what sort of magic is in her fingertips. She is the mother of twins.
Barstool Host
Exactly. And we have twins.
Barstool Co-Host
Holy.
Barstool Host
It's so deep.
Barstool Co-Host
But so midas of. You have twins multiply.
Dylan
No way.
Harrison
Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Weird on here.
Barstool Host
Midas of multiplying. That's nuts.
Barstool Co-Host
Telling you that that box was sold as 12 single Y
Barstool Host
and then suddenly there's two. But so Johnny is. There's a scene and you guys aren't featured in any of this, but then there's a scene where Johnny's basically paranoid thinking that you guys are setting him up or what was his thought, like. And you guys kind of had to talk him off the ledge. And then he was like, threaten. Basically threatening you.
Harrison
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Barstool Host
What was the threat?
Barstool Co-Host
He said. He said, I don't have children and you guys are going to go out and have children. And I. And then they were like, what do you mean by that? Which is good on you to dig for his. For clarity.
Harrison
Thank you. Yeah, well, it's. Yeah, keep going.
Barstool Co-Host
I love. I can't stop. I'm answering this for you guys.
Barstool Host
Keep going. I like it.
Harrison
Well, you really know the show.
Barstool Co-Host
I watched it last night.
Harrison
Okay, cool.
Barstool Co-Host
It's fresh. And then he goes, well, that I would threaten to kill your children. And he like verified himself.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Host
He couldn't have beauty did a veiled threat. And then he unveiled the threat.
Barstool Co-Host
He very quickly was like, that's what he's been doing to me. Which I didn't. Did you feel that that was just like a cop out or was he actually that quick to come up with an example, an illustration of what he's suffered for so long?
Barstool Host
He was.
Dylan
I mean, he's like, he's very quick. And I think he realized what had happened and wanted to immediately bring it back to his neighbor because he was like, oh, God, they're here for that. And that's why I want them here. So I got to bring it back to that as soon as possible. Like, it was with Johnny. There was like. It's really not the case with most of our subjects, but with Johnny, there was, like, a power play where he was like, you're here for me, and I want you to help bring attention to this. So that my neighbor can go to jail?
Harrison
Yeah.
Dylan
And so he really wanted something from us. And of course, we were there to document him. And there's, like. At one point, it's not in it, but he, like, took out his camera and started filming us. And he was like, I can film you guys, too, and just, like, filmed us and was like, what's your name? What's your name? What's your name? And it was like. It was really intense. Yeah.
Harrison
He was constantly filming us, too.
Dylan
It was like, we were like this. And I was like, this feels horrible. And I'm like, oh, right when we're doing that to you, Right?
Harrison
Yeah, Yeah.
Dylan
I hate this.
Harrison
Anytime a subject would start filming us, it was like, oh. We were like, right, right, right.
Dylan
This is what we do as a job. Yeah.
Barstool Host
It's like when, like, First Amendment auditors are, like, out in the world, and someone, like, rushes up to them with a camera. But also, he acquiesced to. He's like. He signed up for this?
Harrison
No, Johnny.
Barstool Host
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did.
Harrison
And he wanted help for his situation. So I think with that, like, threat thing, what's like. I think it's, like, the most extreme example of someone who is within one of these things and is just becoming so paranoid. Like, I think that, like, just his sort of worldview is becoming sort of more and more warped. And so I think. Yeah, I don't know. We were pushing him on it, too, because, like, I think, like, usually we cut that stuff out, too, when we were, like, kind of, like, trying to peel back the layers. But with that one, we were like, man, it was. It's so interesting.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, that was so. Sorry. Go ahead.
Oh, I was gonna. When you guys do this, is it. Is it just you two that go and film?
Harrison
So it's me and Dylan, and then it's my brother Sam. He runs the other camera. I run the other. Another camera. So we're two cameras. And then Dylan does sound. And then we have our producer. Field producer. His name is Andy. Andy Roos. And that's it on the ground.
Barstool Co-Host
So did you guys do this?
Harrison
Like.
Barstool Co-Host
Like, did you film this? And then it's a 24 that picked it up, right?
Harrison
That's right.
Barstool Co-Host
And then so did.
Barstool Host
That's right.
Harrison
Shout out to a 24best production company. They didn't tell us to say that.
Barstool Co-Host
So did you guys film this and then bring it to them, or did you go to them and be like, we have this idea? And they were like, we'll help you make it. Well, you don't have to give all the details.
Dylan
No, no, no.
Harrison
We could do the whole story. You want to start?
Dylan
Yeah, we. We got basically our friend Steve Smith, who's a. It was a filmmaker and designer. He reached out to us and basically was like, I'm working for this company, Brain Dead, that makes, like, merch and, like, clothing. Yeah. So Brain Dead at that time was giving money towards, like, proof of concept, like, things. And so he was like, do you have an idea for a show? And so we were like, yeah. I mean, me and Harrison had watched a lot of Harrison's brother Sam had made like, a comp. YouTube comp of, like, insane neighbor disputes. We're like, this is wild.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Dylan
And then we were trying to make our own, like, fake ones to make it seem like they were real and whatever. And then we were trying to.
Harrison
We upload. We made these videos and we uploaded onto, like, YouTube and live leak when Live Leak was still around.
Dylan
Yeah.
Harrison
We were trying to convince people they were real, but no one.
Dylan
No one believed us. Yeah, we were like, ultimately, definitely real is better. Yeah, we should just actually document real ones. And so. And it was also, like, over Covid, this sort of started to come together, and we were just watching people fight online all the time. Just like Karen fights, like, people screaming each other in parking lots, masks stuff, you know, so it's just like something here is really interesting. And then. And then we. We got some money from Brain Dead and we made a pilot, which is the third episode. It's the Johnny episode.
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, wow.
Dylan
Yeah.
Harrison
So made that in 2021.
Barstool Co-Host
Really?
Dylan
Yeah. And we just did it on our own. Like, we had no idea how to make a show. Y never done anything like it before. And we just went down there and lived in with Harrison's grandparents, and we just went and made that episode just on our own. And then. Then we brought on Central, which is Josh Safdie's company with Eli bush and. And J.P. and so they saw our deck and saw that, and we're like, this is awesome. And then they brought it day 24. And then, you know, just sort of.
Barstool Co-Host
That's all.
You had that pilot in 2021. So you were shopping this and being Hollywoodized for.
Harrison
Well, it's hard because this kind of like, I think it's hard to sell a TV show. And it's like, I think the market right now is a little conservative of, like, it's just hard to get something off the ground. So I think we had this amazing pilot that we loved, and, you know, our sort of higher level producers loved it. And I think they were just waiting for the right time to, like, right moment.
Barstool Co-Host
That's what they always fucking tell you.
Yeah, that is true.
Barstool Host
Right? The fact that came true for you guys has to, like, it makes, like, you must believe in the world because of that, like, for everybody.
Harrison
You know what's crazy is when we made the. We made the pilot, when we were casting the pilot we on Craigslist wrote this is for an HBO show. Even though it was not HBO for the next, you know, three years.
Barstool Host
We just made that up because no
Dylan
one was gonna take it seriously. Yeah, they're like, these guys are creeps. Why are they wanting people to film? You know, it's like on Craigslist. Like, what is this? We were like, oh, it's an HBO show. Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
That's unreal. So you guys put Craigslist ads for. That's unreal.
Dylan
Yeah, that's how we found the two. I mean, both of those stories kind of. Yeah, yeah, we're both on from Craig.
Barstool Co-Host
How many. How many submissions did you get?
Harrison
Thousands, bro.
Barstool Co-Host
The ones you found are. I mean, the level of delusion and eccentricity on both sides. That's what I love about the show.
Barstool Host
It's balanced.
Harrison
Yeah.
Dylan
You.
Barstool Co-Host
You present as if, well, clearly these people are in the wrong and these people are in the right. And then halfway through the episode, you're like, but hold on a second. The guy we thought was in the right has been watching Ellen DeGeneres live for every day for 10 years. Or like, you start presenting these little things.
Barstool Host
I think that's the genius of it, too. Like, the way that you guys. The speed at which the edit happens and then the way that you guys reveal details is so funny because out of nowhere, someone you thought was, like, pretty rational is, like going to, like, a crystal facility or something like that,
Barstool Co-Host
or has the sound the. Like the woman's manager in the episode. She's got the cats.
Harrison
Yes.
Barstool Co-Host
Philly cat woman. And. And I was pro.
I was pro. The cat lady. Just, Just.
Barstool Host
You were.
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, yeah, I was on the cat lady.
Why?
Harrison
Oh, good.
Barstool Co-Host
I love cats.
Dylan
Cool.
Harrison
Okay.
Barstool Host
For sure. But they were running roughshod around the neighborhood.
Barstool Co-Host
They weren't doing.
I thought That
Dylan
I thought that that
Barstool Host
was the one where. Where the. The victims of that, the. The family who was being terrorized by the cats seemed the most rational.
Barstool Co-Host
I understood why they were mad, but it's just so funny to me to like, walk outside and see a bunch of cats and just be furious. Like, these goddamn cats.
Harrison
Yeah. If you're a cat person, it's like cat. You know, he's right.
Dylan
Yeah, right.
Barstool Co-Host
The more merrier.
Barstool Host
It was his first house. He's probably excited to have a house.
Harrison
And then he's living in.
Barstool Co-Host
He's been in prison.
Harrison
Yeah, right.
Barstool Host
He was in prison, folks.
Barstool Co-Host
Son of a boy, dad is brought to you by Stella Blue Coffee. You guys all know that I am on a coffee journey to fill the hole in my heart. And Stella Blue is my bean of choice. I love Stella Blue Coffee.
You mind if I just jump in here real quick? I'm a personal fan of the Big Cat medium roast. Genuinely one of the best coffees I've ever had.
I just.
That's what I was just drinking during the episode.
Okay.
Just feel. I felt like I would give my personal endorsement.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Host
I thought Francis was doing fine.
Barstool Co-Host
I was on a roll.
Well, when I've got a personal endorsement, I like to get it out there.
Where was I? Still blue. Okay. Right now, Stella Blue Coffee is doing their golden mug. One winner will get two tickets to the men's college basketball national championship. But that's not all. Nine other winners will receive a Barstool Chicago HQ experience with one friend. Buy anything on Stella Blue coffee.com from Wednesday, March 11 to Friday, March 13 to get entered. Buying cans will count as 10x entries. These lattes are made with 100% Colombian coffee. Each can is a good source of protein and comes in two smooth flavors. Espresso Cafe Mocha and Nespresso Sweet Cream. I had a long conversation with. With Big Cat when he was launching Stella Blue about where he sourced the beans. And I'll tell you what, these are good, good beans. These are big time beans. They did the work. And there's a reason that this is one of the best sort of in house brands we have at Barstool. Don't forget, buy anything on Stella Blue Coffee.com from Wednesday, March 11 to Friday, March 13 to get entered to win two tickets to the men's college basketball national championship. Did you guys have anything to do with them getting cast on Judge Judy?
Dylan
No, because that.
Harrison
Yeah, that was.
Barstool Co-Host
That was just development. That happened naturally in the course. You'd already selected them and then that Happened.
Harrison
Yes.
Barstool Co-Host
That's amazing.
Harrison
Well, it's funny because, like, people, it feels like, you know, there's like, a few different routes that you can take. If you have a neighbor dispute, you know, like, you obviously call the police and they tell you that, you know, the police just can't do anything. They're like, this is a civil matter. I'm sorry. Like. Like, deal with your neighbor. You know, you can sue them and go to court. And then you can also just go on Judge Judy, which is like, truly. People do that, you know, I mean, which is why we thought it was so interesting. Like, this is that it just makes that show also just feel more real.
Dylan
Yeah, totally. Well. Cause it's also like, we wanted the show to have all these different ways in which people try to resolve the neighbor dispute and ultimately fail.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Dylan
But to have one of those be going on a. A on a judge show felt apt because it's like we. We. We were constantly, like, on Judge Judy, there are tons of neighbor disputes. Like.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Dylan
It's like a quarter of what goes on Judge Judy are like neighbor disputes. Because it all isn't. You know, it all goes into small claims or whatever. It's really, like, that feels like an important texture to add into the.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Dylan
Into this sort of world of neighbor disputes.
Barstool Co-Host
So did you guys get to go to the judge? You guys got to see Judy?
No, they tried. They turned away glasses on or whatever.
Harrison
Yeah. And then we were like, damn, like, this was a bad idea to do this story. We were like. The whole time, we were like, we're gonna film Judge Judy. And then it, like, got to that point. It's like, well, how the are we gonna film?
Dylan
We just. We were like, how do you even get in?
Barstool Host
You can't just go to Judge Judy.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Especially it's like a show that's already being produced.
I didn't think it. It lost anything by not showing up.
Barstool Host
Just like, filming your shadow in the parking lot walking away.
Barstool Co-Host
I thought them leaving and like. Like, interview of like, what is it her sister or something where she's like, that went bad.
Harrison
Oh, it's her friend.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Yeah.
And she was like, I knew that
Harrison
wasn't gonna go well.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
That was like, the funniest shit I've ever seen.
But it was all. You ended it so nicely for her by, like, having her meet with this producer that she's been keen to meet with forever. And that was hysterical, where he was like, my brain can't take any more information.
Harrison
Yeah. I think we get excited. I think like, the more that we were making the show, the more we were excited to like, like, like as much as we can make it. Like, not actually about the neighbor dispute, sort of the funnier and cooler it became to us, you know, like, those diversions were like, just so exciting, you know?
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, man.
Barstool Host
Yeah, it's so great. Well, how many. How much footage? Because it's like you're doing. It's like 25 minute episodes. 30 minute episodes.
Harrison
Yeah, 30 minute episodes.
Barstool Host
And so. But it's two storylines, so like 15 minutes per storyline.
Dylan
Yep.
Barstool Host
And so how much footage are you taking? Down to 15 minutes because it goes fast, which makes it very digestible people, especially for my dumbass TikTok brain. But I think that we did that on purpose.
Dylan
Yeah, our brains are totally fried. Yeah, we're like, we're bored. We're bored. We're bored. Cut it. Cut it. Yeah, we're equally as fried. And that's why the show looks like.
Barstool Host
So is it like. I mean, it's got to be like days of footage.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Host
Oh, yeah.
Dylan
I mean, we spent. We shot pretty much every day around six hours to eight hours a day for two to three weeks per story.
Harrison
Yeah.
Dylan
So it's a lot of. It's a lot of footage.
Harrison
We live with them like the whole time and we don't shoot. Which honestly we.
Dylan
If.
Harrison
If we get a season two, we might have to change. But, like, we don't really. Like, we really embed ourselves in their lives and we don't do, like, really days off with them either. We're just like, with them for like.
Dylan
Yeah, like everything.
Harrison
Everything. Yeah, like two or three weeks.
Dylan
Really?
Harrison
They're like, I gotta go to the pharmacy. It's like, oh, can we come?
Dylan
Yeah. Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Is there, like, moments when you're with them for the two to three weeks where you're like. Like, this is it. This is what we've been waiting for. And they like, all finally just like
Barstool Host
when the woman's like, throwing the fucking.
Dylan
Yeah, yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Like, are you guys going nuts? That you're like, we got. This is gold.
Dylan
Yeah.
Harrison
That moment in particular when she's throwing the bushes, we were like. Because we also, you know, the first one we were making, so we were like. We were like, thank God. This is. I mean, it was insane.
Barstool Co-Host
Does anyone, like, ham it up for the camera?
That's what I was going.
Dylan
Yeah.
Harrison
Or do you.
Barstool Co-Host
Or are they. That's just their. That's just their natural state.
Are they being performative at all?
Dylan
You know, it. That's like something we're constantly trying to figure out while we're making it is like. And then at a certain point, we stop caring because we're just like, you know, it. It is hard to know if. How the, like, if the camera's changing them somehow. Like, there's no doubt there's some impact.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Dylan
But it's just. It's just hard to know how much. And so we kind of just go in there and just be like, whatever happens is real.
Harrison
Yeah. Yeah.
Dylan
And whether you want to. Whether they're hamming it up or not.
Harrison
Not.
Dylan
It's, you know, it's on them.
Barstool Co-Host
But yeah, when you get her to admit that she sold her kids piss to help her friends get out of, like, parole violations. Michael, you had a moment where. You had a moment where she was like, can I tell them that you used my son's piss? And he's like, oh, no, absolutely not. How do you. How do you get to use that? Have they all signed releases?
Harrison
Everyone signs.
Dylan
Yeah, everyone signs.
Barstool Co-Host
Unbelievable. So you just hot mic'd that guy? Guy.
Harrison
He just had his. Right.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Barstool Host
It was a.
Harrison
It was our jinx. You ever watched the. Jinxed them all.
Barstool Host
I pissed on them all.
Barstool Co-Host
Of course I did.
Harrison
Yeah. I think, you know, Dylan. We co direct the show, but Dylan does sound. I do camera. So Dylan has like. Like, it's like a whole other.
Dylan
It's a world.
Harrison
Yeah, it's just audio. Just hearing what people in the bathroom like anything or like Dylan's like a mile ahead of us. Being like, guys, like. Yeah, they're like. They're actually freaking out right now. Like, I don't. I think we're gonna have to end the day early. And we're like, what?
Dylan
We've just been.
Harrison
They were so down. Like, you know.
Dylan
Yeah, they'll, you know, we'll like be like, you know, we'll. We'll show up and start filming like, oh, so good to see you guys. And then they'll be miked and they'll go away and be like, these. Oh, I'm so tired of this. I think we're going to have a limited day, week five.
Barstool Host
And you're just there still.
Barstool Co-Host
That's so funny.
Barstool Host
And I know. I've heard in interviews, you guys are like, we don't want to punch down, but you do sometimes cook them in the edit. Like, there was the guy in episode four.
Dylan
I don't know.
Harrison
I don't know what.
Barstool Co-Host
I haven't seen episode four yet.
Barstool Host
In episode four, it's not going to give it away. But there's a guy who's like, I've strayed from my party a little bit, so they call me a Republican in name only. So I bought this here picture, and, like, they call me a rhino. So I got this picture, and it's just like a picture of an elephant, and they just. You just leave it on it. Like, the edit just, like, lingers on it for just a second so everybody can get
Barstool Co-Host
pause. You held on the guy, the farmer guy, who was like, well, I don't know if I should say this. She did Onlyfans and it was awesome. Parties with fucking Jamie Foxx and, like, all these hot chicks and, like, just. Yeah, he's just hanging himself while his pregnant wife's down the hall being like.
Dylan
Right.
Harrison
Yeah. You know, and. And I think, like. I mean, we. I think we're pretty, like, militant in the edit about keeping things in. They really have to, like, function or, like, reveal something about the. The person that, like, complicates it, you know? And I think, like, that OnlyFans stuff was important to us also. I mean, it's a really funny moment. That pause is, like, amazing. And we love the. I mean, it's. It's really rare to actually get those kind of pauses because usually they start talking immediately after, so we always keep it in. But I think, like, you know, I think that Onlyfans stuff is funny, but it's also, like, it deepens why he's, you know, doing this farm and stuff, which was so exciting, you know, and something that you wouldn't know if you just, like, saw it in the news how we saw it initially, you know.
Dylan
Yeah. Like, when we found the story, we had no idea that he had done Onlyfans. Like, it was in the local newspaper that there was, like, a dispute over a farm in front of some person's front lawn. We're like, this is interesting. And then as we got to know him, he basically was like, you know, I wanted to start a new chapter in my life. You know, I did some stuff in the past and that I want to move on from, and we're like, what? What? Stop.
Harrison
Yeah. So awesome to be like, you know, it's funny. You film with these people, and then we go back to our Airbnb or wherever we're staying, and we're just like, what was that?
Barstool Host
Yeah, what?
Barstool Co-Host
This the hardest I've laughed in the whole show by far. I had to pause it to, like, catch my breath and then go back and watch it again is when it's that storyline and the. I'm assuming the gay neighbor who is fed up with him, notices the rack for the 50 pheasants. And the way you put that at it in. As it's dawning on him, he's like, what do you think that rack's for? Like, collecting eggs? 50 peasants. I was in fucking tears. I was gasping at that. And that was the moment where I was like, oh, they're definitely going to follow up on this story, because this guy is not abiding whatsoever. He's brought.
Dylan
Yeah, he's building.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, he's building.
Harrison
Yeah, that. I mean, that killed us, too. I mean, it also is just funny that he says, what the frick? Just for some reason. It's just so funny. We film so much and very rarely are we filming. And we look at each other like, aha, this is really funny. It's like in the edit room that we're watching, and we're like, what? Like, we forgot. We're basically falling asleep sometimes when we're filming. You know what I mean? Because it's, like, so long.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Host
Because this is their lives. It's just like, this is how they're living. So it's not even absurd to them. Like, it's just like this is their constant state that they're in. And then once you, like, can, like, get every little moment lined up like that, it's what makes it amazing. What were you guys doing before you. You got successful at this? Before you started killing this? Like, just making. Making movies. Making.
Dylan
We were making, like. Like. Like Internet videos, basically.
Harrison
Yeah.
Dylan
Yeah, just like. Like, I mean, you know, making stuff. We were. Me and Harrison, we're living in Florida, Miami, and we were working with this, like, sort of film collective down there. And we were just basically making stuff and, like, you know, I don't know, like, comedy Internet videos that no one watched. And basically cut our teeth doing that. And then. Yeah, and then sort of COVID happened. We had an opportunity to go make a pilot. I had done, like. Like, you know, my. My dad was a documentary filmmaker, so I kind of like. And I, you know, helped on his stuff. And I'd done some doc stuff in the past, but, like, nothing that was at all substantial, you know, it was just like, I don't know, just making Internet videos, basically.
Harrison
Yeah. To put on Instagram, honestly, like, just funny videos and, you know, stuff like that. Try to get them into film festivals.
Dylan
And no one. No one wanted that.
Harrison
No one wanted that.
Barstool Co-Host
No one wanted that.
Harrison
But then we also. I did music videos and, like, commercial Stuff.
Barstool Host
Is there money in music videos?
Dylan
No know. Right.
Harrison
Oh, and it's a lot.
Barstool Host
Everybody wants them for free. Like every artist wants it for free.
Harrison
I know, I know. It's really like a bad game to get into, I think.
Barstool Host
Bad.
Harrison
And it's not.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Harrison
And it's, you know, with music videos too, is like if you're a director, it's like you. I feel like it gets to the point where like you're just, you know, it's really in service of the artist. And so if you really don't like the artist but you're making the video, it's just like, I don't know.
Dylan
Yeah, yeah.
Barstool Host
That's like rap videos or.
Harrison
I mean, I would do. I would do a rap video. I mean, you know, if it was someone.
Barstool Host
Absolutely.
Harrison
No, but yeah, music videos, you know, I don't know.
Dylan
I mean, I can't think. The last time I sat down, the computer is like, I want to watch a music video. Like, they're dead.
Harrison
Yeah, yeah, they're dead.
Barstool Host
Sad to say. They used to rule it used to be awesome.
Dylan
Dude.
Barstool Co-Host
Has there been any good ones recently?
Dylan
Yeah.
Harrison
You know what's an amazing one? There's an ASAP rock music video.
Barstool Host
Yeah. Lsd.
Harrison
Well, LSD is cool, but it's not that one.
Dylan
I know.
Barstool Co-Host
I think I know the one you're talking about.
Harrison
The one in like Russia.
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, I was thinking Taylor Swift.
Dylan
Paris.
Harrison
Huh.
Barstool Co-Host
I was thinking of another one, I guess. ASAP Rocky's done.
Barstool Host
He's got some bags.
Harrison
Yes.
Dylan
Yeah.
Harrison
Anyways. Yeah.
Barstool Host
Oh, I thought the lsd. I thought the LSD one was sick. Britney Spears had some bangers too. We did a music video draft one time and Britney Spears had all heat. Maybe it's just because of my age and how horny it made me at the time.
Dylan
Right?
Barstool Host
But it was fantastic.
Harrison
Britney Spears music video.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Host
She had some bangers. Toxic. That was.
Dylan
Oh my God.
Harrison
Toxic was an old time.
Barstool Host
See this him over there? Cuz she had the diamond. She had like a diamond bodysuit on.
Barstool Co-Host
Never knew I had an erotic fixation on flight attendants until that.
Dylan
Right?
Barstool Host
Really?
Dylan
Oh my.
Barstool Co-Host
The only Britney Spears one I've ever seen is the baby. Right?
Barstool Host
Baby One more time.
Barstool Co-Host
Give me baby one more time. Only because it was on sing Star 2 on the PlayStation 2. It's like one of like 10 songs.
That one didn't do it for me. She was too young. Young.
Well, I was probably like 8.
Definitely one more or. Oops, I did it again when the. The red latex suit. For sure.
I Was a same age in that one.
No, no, no, that's a different album.
You might want to get your facts straight.
Lucky I got See if Oops. If hip. If Oops I Did It Again is on the same album as her, it
Barstool Host
would imply that it's not if she's done it again.
Barstool Co-Host
Correct.
Barstool Host
You know what I mean? Baby One More Time was Oops I Did did it.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Barstool Host
And then Oops, I Did it again.
Dylan
Oh, interesting.
Barstool Host
It's like another foray into doing it. See, that's 2,000 oops I did it again came out in 96. Or baby, one more time came out in 96.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, I mean, it's four years.
Oh, interesting how those are a crucial four years.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
She went from, you know, entered her dark phase.
Barstool Host
Well, yeah, she became of age. She became a legal woman.
Barstool Co-Host
This was her. Sergeant Peppers.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Host
Have you guys ever in your lives been bad nails neighbor? Was there ever a time were you guys pretty model citizens? Were any neighbor disputes even or like bad neighbors that you had? Well, we had when.
Dylan
When we were making. When we're editing the show, we actually got into kind of a neighbor dispute because the. We edited the show in New York at this. The production company, Gummy Films, which like, helped produce the show. And while we were editing, like, come like maybe 4pm the next door neighbor would start practicing his DJ sets. And there were actually three different DJs in different rooms all practicing at the same time.
Barstool Co-Host
Damn.
Dylan
Completely different types of music, like reggaeton and then like deep house and then rap music. And it would just all start at like 4 and go until like midnight. And we were just like, this is insane. Like, how can we possibly concentrate? But we're ultimately kind of wimps and we're just like. We're just not going to say anything because we're ultimately sort of pussies about it. And we're just going to sit and keep editing. And then over time, we got kind of used to it. Yeah. And then. And then it actually was sort of nice.
Barstool Host
You couldn't edit without it. Yeah, it was like Pavlovian, like our
Dylan
DJs, like, what happened?
Harrison
And he's a really nice guy.
Dylan
And then we met him and he's
Harrison
a really nice guy.
Dylan
And we were like, okay, I guess
Barstool Host
it's not his fault.
Dylan
Don't you think?
Barstool Co-Host
Like, why wouldn't they just throw some headphones in, though?
Dylan
It's a great question, right?
Harrison
It's. You know what? Yeah, yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
I guess you got to practice how you play.
Dylan
It's actually something we could have practiced how you play.
Barstool Host
Exactly. Or you guys. Maybe he'd be like, why don't you throw headphones in?
Harrison
Yeah, right, right. Well, we had.
Dylan
We had headphones in. Oh.
Barstool Host
And it was permeated the can.
Barstool Co-Host
And then.
Harrison
Yeah. It's funny, there was like this. This French news outlet that wrote something about neighbors and. And they said something about. I translated it and it was talking about how, like, the edit felt like gabber music.
Dylan
Music.
Harrison
And then I was just like. Well, that's probably because we were just listening to that.
Barstool Host
Like, you. You use some of the. Is it like a. What is that lens? It's like a fisheye. Or is it like a 360? Yeah, 360. And it's just like. It just makes it feel very, like, unique and proprietary.
Harrison
Cool. Yeah.
Barstool Host
What's the thought? Like, what. Why, why that it really pops in the first episode when you're, like, on the beach and you're just, like, seeing, like, the entire world.
Harrison
Yeah, totally. I had been using those cameras for Dylan and I were talking about, you know, before doing Neighbors. And I'm just obsessed with that camera. And we just get so excited about it because you can just manipulate wherever the camera go. You can animate the camera basically after you shoot it. It's really. I don't know.
Barstool Co-Host
What kind of camera is it? It's called.
Harrison
It's just a360 camera.
Barstool Co-Host
Is it like the GoPro one?
Harrison
Well, we use the Insta360 and then we use the GoPro Max.
Dylan
Nice.
Barstool Host
Like, I've watched YouTube videos of DJ sets where they have that, and you can just like, while you're in the video, like, see it, just capturing everything simultaneously.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Harrison
It's sick. I think also, like, we were always wanting to actually film a real confrontation with one of them because we had done videos where
Barstool Host
both sides of the confrontation.
Harrison
Exactly. And. And so, yeah, that. That confrontation in the. With the auditor was really exciting.
Barstool Co-Host
It's very Coen Brothers of you.
Harrison
Oh, yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Well, you know, he. He doesn't do the over the shoulder shot for dialogue. He puts the camera right in the middle of the table. Table.
Harrison
Oh, really? I didn't know that.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Interesting.
Harrison
How do you know them? Which one?
Barstool Co-Host
I'm sorry?
Barstool Host
Answer all the questions.
Barstool Co-Host
Which one does that?
Dylan
Excuse me?
Harrison
Well, you said the Cohen brothers. I'm just asking which one. Yeah, I can't. Dude, I love the Coen brothers. Yeah, they're the. They're the best.
Dylan
Yeah, they.
Harrison
They.
Barstool Co-Host
They said about it that they always wondered why anyone would think that's not how, like, that puts you in the conversation.
Harrison
Right.
Barstool Co-Host
When you're having the conversation, you're only seeing the other person.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
So in those dialogue choices, shots. But everyone else in film always does it over the shoulder, right?
Harrison
Yeah, totally over the shoulder. Kind of feels. Film school years. Yeah, right.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Dylan
Set it down.
Barstool Host
Did they do no country for Old Men?
Harrison
Yes.
Barstool Host
I just rewatched that this week, dude. So I love that.
Harrison
That movie too. Like, there's just like, so much of it is, like, there's no dialogue. You're just like tracking a guy, like the whole beginning with him trying to get the money and the dog is chasing him.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Host
It's just like, kind of quiet.
Dylan
Yeah. And just like doom the whole time. Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
That's Cormac McCarthy. Did you guys read the book?
Harrison
No.
Dylan
Of course.
Harrison
Is the book really good?
Barstool Co-Host
It's unbelievable, dude.
Harrison
I've never read anything by him, but I heard he's kind of start with
Barstool Co-Host
all the pretty Horses.
I had to read the book in high school. I'd read the book in high school and I didn't. I watched the movie. Apparently there are some major differences.
Barstool Host
They caught your ass. I know your teacher was. She left some dangling questions on that test.
Harrison
You had a. You had a reading. Read the book for school.
Barstool Co-Host
For school.
Barstool Host
Right.
Barstool Co-Host
And I was like, well, I'll just watch the movies.
Yeah.
And then I was just writing directly based on the movie. And like, obviously the movie is probably more famous than the book at this point. So, like, the teacher was like, this is clearly from the movie and not the book.
Yeah.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Trying to think. I can't. I can't remember what the differences were, but stuff with sugar. I. I think boy, haunting, haunting, haunting villain there.
Barstool Host
I think I did that with Julius Caesar. I think I Like, we were like. It was like a Latin class. We're supposed to, like, learn about the history of Julius Caesar. And I was just basing it all off the. The play. The Shakespeare play. I don't think a 2 brute is like, in. That's not history. That's Shakespeare.
Barstool Co-Host
I know. Sure.
Dylan
You're kidding.
Barstool Co-Host
But like, to opt for a play.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
It's.
Barstool Host
Honestly, I'm going to read the entire Shakespeare works in iambic pent, committed to memory.
Barstool Co-Host
I don't have the time to read this thing. I'm gonna read the play instead.
All righty, folks, let's talk about factor. Somewhere between the first warm weekend and realizing short season is getting close, eating well stops feeling optional factor is how I Stopped letting a busy schedule be my excuse. Fully prepared meals designed by dietitians and crafted by chefs. Ready in two.
Barstool Host
Let me just jump in here. I've been loving factor. A little personal endorsement. I love the chicken. I feel like it really knock one. I can't pick if you're trying. If you're. If you want to make me pick between my favorite factor chicken entrees.
Barstool Co-Host
I'm a fan of the shredded chicken taco bowl, but I like the chicken breast. The chicken.
If I can just leapfrog on top of Roan's, jump in for one second. The thing that I like the most about Factor is it allows me to know that my ingredients are portioned correctly without needing to do all the difficult cleanup and annoying.

Barstool Host
I have one time in my life that I think I'm sure I was a bad neighbor and I was 8 years old and I just, it was when I was first left home alone by my, by my family. Like that's around the age when you're like left home alone alone. It was like during the day.
Barstool Co-Host
Eight's pretty young.
Dylan
Yeah, it's pretty young but I think
Harrison
you were left alone. Eight years old.
Barstool Host
Yeah. At home.
Harrison
Let's dissect that first.
Barstool Host
A lot of fighting going on in my house and I think it was like the first time that like intrusive thoughts come into your head because you're like when the freedom of your like 8 year old mind and body and stuff like that and the newspaper got delivered in the morning and it was like a weekend day and I was, I don't know why the intrusive thought came in but I was like what if I go get the newspaper ass naked and I fucking sprinted down the driveway ass naked and grabbed my own newspaper as like an eight year old boy. And ever since then I just have always just been like why did I ever do that? And then I'll put myself in the position of like my Asian neighbors of like if they're just like cracking the.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Host
The blinds to just see an eight year old.
Dylan
A little.
Barstool Host
A little naked eight year old boy, like sprinting as fast as he can to get the paper and like dodging back through the door, like breathlessly.
Barstool Co-Host
What did your dad do that? Was he like a big go out, get the paper.
Harrison
That's beautiful though. That's beautiful. I think I. I think that's just, you know, it's a beautiful child's mind. Right?
Barstool Host
It's just a nasty, wild child's child's mind. Just like running around. Running around ass naked. That. That young. But I like. Yeah, I think I'm a little bit unburdened, I think by getting it off my chest, but just absolutely vile behavior.
Dylan
Appreciate you sharing that with us.
Barstool Host
Subjecting the neighborhood to like a naked child to child pornography, basically just so I could satisfy my. My little impulse.
Harrison
The last episode of Neighbors, the finale. I'd spoil it too much, but a lot of it takes place in a nudist community, so there's a lot of nudity. And that the reason, you know, we know that it feels good to sun your genitals is because we did it.
Dylan
We did.
Barstool Host
No, you didn't. No, you didn't.
Harrison
We filmed nude a lot of the time. Yeah.
Dylan
Whoa.
Harrison
That's crazy.
Dylan
I was like, totally new to the boom pole. Just. That's the most vulnerable with my.
Barstool Host
What job could you have that's more vulnerable than. Oh, my God.
Harrison
I was. Well, I was lucky because I had. I hold a camera and we have like a rag, you know? Yeah. Like a cine saddle. So I like, sort of can cover my balls.
Dylan
I was just like spread eagle for like hours, like staring at our subject just with my dick out and recording them.
Barstool Co-Host
That's crazy.
Harrison
They're naked too. So it's all, you know, it's better, you know, it's all good.
Barstool Co-Host
Are you guys allowed to say how many episodes the first season is? Six.
Dylan
Six?
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Harrison
Hell yeah.
Dylan
Two more colonies.
Barstool Host
Are there like wayward boners that like just like, you know, pop up, you know? Or is that. Is that something that you guys clocked at all, or do you just avert your eyes and just keep it on the subject? For the most part.
Harrison
Mostly try to do that.
Dylan
You. It's like the eye. I've never experienced such incredible eye contact.
Harrison
You're so locked in.
Dylan
You're like, go down for just a second. You can't just. You're so locked.
Harrison
So truly just a fit. You're really looking at people's faces.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Dylan
Totally, totally. And you know, sometimes that happens and there's protocol in the communities where you basically you're supposed to carry around a towel with you everywhere you go because you can't sit on the surface.
Harrison
Yeah, exactly.
Dylan
Yeah. It's called a butt rug. And so you carry around your butt rug. And so if in fact you get a erection, cover the erection with the butt rug.
Barstool Co-Host
Is the same thing apply to women with say, like engorged labia?
Harrison
They show signs of a rat.
Dylan
Absolutely.
Harrison
Even Steven.
Barstool Co-Host
Why are we punishing men?
Dylan
Right?
Harrison
Is it A lot of guys didn't. I feel like they're really like. A lot of these nudist communities are like, you know, unless it's a community of swingers, which there are. A lot of these communities we were filming in are like very. Nudism is so unsexual to them. So, like.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Harrison
I mean, I don't even know if we saw one boner. Honestly. I wanted to. Of course, you know, boners. You know, I was on a safari
Barstool Host
and not seeing the lion.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
It is definitely a little bit more interesting if it's just a bunch of non aroused nudists.
Dylan
Oh, yeah. Yeah. And that's what it is. I mean, they're like. There's basically two schools. It's like the lifestyle, which are the people that are nude to. For like polyamory and they just want to have sex all the time, that kind of thing. And then there's like the naturists or the naturalists who are like almost religious about it, and they do not want anything sexual to be happening. Happening within like their nudist world. You can go home or whatever and have sex if you want, but being nude is not sexual. That's like a really important thing.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Dylan
The nudist that we filmed with, I
Barstool Host
always used to want to do some kind of like small documentary on people who have gymnophobia, which is never nudes. People who are like, wow. Yeah. You honestly probably do have like a little bit of gym phobia.
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, no, I'm just like, yeah. I mean.
Harrison
Yeah,
Barstool Host
he showers your pants on.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, No, I don't.
Harrison
I don't do that. No. You said you're. Yeah, you're.
Dylan
Your.
Harrison
Your penis hasn't seen sunlight.
Barstool Co-Host
No, never. Never.
Harrison
Really?
Barstool Co-Host
Probably never will.
Dylan
It's okay.
Harrison
No, it's okay. That is interesting though, like, how much people don't like to be naked. I mean, a lot of these people we met, like, they just hate also the feeling of clothes on their skin. It's as simple as that. But I guess for the other people it's just like, you know, is it intense shame?
Barstool Host
I wonder if there's like a religious thing to it or what could be the. The. The impetus for. For severe gymnophobia?
Harrison
Well, it's maybe a religious thing.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Dylan
I don't know.
Barstool Co-Host
I mean, I feel like I get never nude more than I get nudist. Cuz like never nude. Like most of us are pretty much never nude. Unless from when like you're. It's not like.
Harrison
Are you.
Barstool Co-Host
Do you guys go home and just immediately just naked?
Harrison
Sometimes. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I do.
Dylan
I think, look, I think Harris, it's a spec. You would consider yourself a nudist.
Harrison
I'm a nudist. I'm actually could become a nudist.
Barstool Co-Host
Really?
Dylan
You're at like 2 degrees from really full time nudist.
Barstool Co-Host
So you actually. You get home and you're like, I gotta get naked now?
Harrison
Yeah, sort of.
Barstool Host
Yeah.
Harrison
Dylan, not a nudist.
Dylan
Not a nudist. No, no, not a nudist.
Barstool Co-Host
I'll go shirtless in my home if I'm hot.
Harrison
Right?
Dylan
Right.
Barstool Co-Host
I find it's much cooler for me not to wear.
See, I'm like, the shirt's the last thing that leaves the body for me.
Harrison
Really. Pants off.
Barstool Co-Host
I would go. I'd 7th Ave. With my out before I walk down with my shirt off.
Dylan
Interesting.
Harrison
It's so interesting you do that.
Barstool Co-Host
No, I don't. I don't do that.
Dylan
Right.
Harrison
You might do it.
Barstool Co-Host
I. Yeah, yeah.
Barstool Host
The time is the towel. Is it for. Is it for like skid marks or for butt sweat or catch all.
Dylan
And. And if you can't, do not use a white towel. Because whether you like, you can clean yourself down there as much as possible possible. But throughout the day it will become a skid mark. Just like it looks like a car crash happened.
Barstool Co-Host
That's unfortunate.
Barstool Host
Did that happen to that? Is that a personal experience type of thing or.
Dylan
We've seen it.
Harrison
We have seen it.
Dylan
We've seen it on the. On the butt rugs. Yeah, for sure.
Harrison
But it never happened to us. You know, we clean ourselves properly.
Dylan
Of course. Of course.
Barstool Host
Of course.
Barstool Co-Host
So what do you got to go with like a black. A black.
Dylan
Black. Gray. Black or gray?
Harrison
Well, it's funny, you're. You know, when you're younger.
Dylan
Yeah, I never thought about that. That's interesting.
Harrison
Seems like a sort of poop brown
Barstool Co-Host
color towel would do dark, sickly green.
Dylan
Brown. Oh, okay. Dude, I don't know.
Barstool Co-Host
Okay. I don't know. Depends on what day it is. Depends on if I'm coming from Jiu Jitsu.
Barstool Host
What you ate. Yeah, that's. Well, they must have learned it, and there must have been a nasty learning curve for that. Or maybe it's quick. Maybe it's just like one skid mark.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, it could have been first day, Right? This is unacceptable.
Harrison
Yeah, sort of vibe kill immediately. That's a skid mark.
Barstool Co-Host
Should we stretch the legs, go for a walk? Oh, we all ourselves.
You guys were in the community for two weeks filming?
Dylan
More than that.
Harrison
Yeah, we did. Like, my girlfriend, who is the. She's the casting director on the show. Her name is Harley Shaw. She and I went down there. We did a scouting trip for probably two weeks or so, and we were trying to film another story. So I think collectively in the nudist communities, we probably spent, like, probably a month and a half. Yeah, two months maybe, like, collectively, like. And that means, like, going and not filming. Cause we didn't film. We had to do these trips where we just, like, obviously, like, met people and hung out and were naked with them and gained their trust for like, a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Barstool Host
You just have to be naked among them to show that you were harmless.
Harrison
You have to. I mean, it's sort of like to
Barstool Host
show you're not preying on their community.
Harrison
Right? To show that. Yeah, we're harmless.
Barstool Host
You're not horny.
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, you don't have your butt rose. Here, borrow mine.
Harrison
Yeah, I mean, it's probably okay.
Barstool Co-Host
No, seriously, use it. I got extras.
Yeah, you probably can't roll in just cameras. Film in day one.
Barstool Host
Pants on.
Harrison
Yeah, pants on. Pants on. But you know what you're describing, the shirt. No pants. We call it pooh bearing.
Dylan
We call it.
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, yeah, Pooh bear.
Dylan
That shit.
Barstool Host
Is that okay? Is that okay to do?
Harrison
That's actually super okay.
Dylan
Yeah, we kind of worked our way up to that where it was like,
Barstool Co-Host
you earned a shirt.
Dylan
We. I. I felt like at a certain point we earned shirts. Yeah, we earned shirts, but you have
Barstool Co-Host
to have your out no matter what.
Harrison
It's kind of like there are part. Like, there. There's kind of. There's a bunch of. Of different communities in this place called Pasco County, Florida. It's the nudist capital of the world. And each community has its kind of different flavor. Some of the rules in some of the communities are just stricter than others. And so they have places in the communities where it's like, you just have to be naked. You know, it's like near the Pool or by the Jacuzzi or, like, any kind of thing like that. It's like you have to be naked and then, you know, it's just kind of a vibe thing, too, of like,
Barstool Host
show you're not wearing a wire.
Dylan
Huh?
Barstool Host
Just to show you're not wearing a wire.
Harrison
Right, Right. Yeah.
Dylan
That was a nightmare for me, Mike. Every. Everyone naked. It was like, oh, yeah, what did you do?
Barstool Host
Or you just boom, boom exclusively?
Dylan
Yeah, I would boom. But a lot of our stuff, we like, like doing sort of verite style, so we put people far away in film, so. And, you know, we try to, like, not always be right in everything. So I would have to basically take like, bandage tape and, like, you know, depending on what the angle was, I would, like, do it under their armpit or, like, you know, in between their thighs and then run the wire fire up over behind their ear and then like, into their hair. And then into the hair, like, down by their forehead.
Barstool Host
You were putting it around their thigh as their ass naked just kneeling next to you. Yes.
Harrison
I have a photo of. Of Dylan miking up someone. One of our subjects just totally, you
Dylan
know, just the sax just like, right on my head.
Harrison
Yeah, he's just getting tea bagged.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Host
I went to a. A bar in. In Key west called the Garden of Eden. And it's like, for the first three stories, it's a normal bar, and then on the fourth story, it becomes like a nudist party after night. No phones and stuff like that.
Harrison
That's really cool.
Barstool Host
It is nice and like. But it is like a much older crowd where nudist colony, like, older, skewed older.
Harrison
Yeah, there's mostly older, and then there are like, you know, there's some young. Some young people that trickle in, but it's mostly older.
Barstool Co-Host
There any attractive people?
Harrison
Definitely.
Dylan
Really?
Harrison
There's a couple. Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
For sure. What I wonder.
Barstool Host
It's probably the best place to be attractive. Did you slip your shoes off?
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah, they were hurting.
Harrison
All this talk making me feel overdressed going in that. It could be a shoes off podcast.
Barstool Co-Host
Very overdressed.
Harrison
I actually like your sh. Your whole outfit is great.
Barstool Co-Host
Oh, that's very kind. That's makes the two of you. Everyone else hates my clothes, but we'll go shopping.
Harrison
I feel like you guys actually have similar style.
Barstool Co-Host
Definitely.
Yeah. You ever heard of Japan?
Dylan
Oh, yeah.
Barstool Host
Oh, baby.
Barstool Co-Host
They got the goods, bro.
Dylan
We got the goods.
Harrison
We were.
Dylan
We loved.
Harrison
I want to go so bad.
Barstool Co-Host
Would you guys ever do like a. Like, international neighbors?
Harrison
Dude, it would be so awesome.
Dylan
Absolutely.
Barstool Co-Host
That would be sick.
Harrison
I like the idea that, like, a whole season is just subtitled.
Dylan
Yeah.
Harrison
There's just. It's like. Like subtitled, but it's. It's cool to think about, truly, like, not to get too deep, but, like, like, how do other countries deal with conflicts as simple as that?
Barstool Co-Host
That'd be amazing in China because, I mean, they sound like they're arguing regular. Sort of get them, like, in an angry dispute. Yeah.
Barstool Host
And it's like, the United States is pretty spread out, all things considered. So a lot of countries, European countries, way more on top of one another. And, like, that's why I'm always shocked. Like, you've the last episodes in Texas, and, like, my thought is, like, texas, Texas, it's your property. Live and let live. You just do whatever you want. But people really have, like, opinions about other people's stuff. Where it should be like, the, you know, land of the free type type of deal, but, like, seeing other people in different environments on closer quarters would be fascinating.
Barstool Co-Host
You learned from the first episode that there's almost no amount of land that exists where you wouldn't still be bothered by a neighbor because they were riding horses to see each other. It's as rural as it could get. I still found a way to hate.
They were a.
Dylan
A mile away from each other.
Harrison
That's crazy.
Dylan
Yeah.
Harrison
That one got us so excited. Just like the. They are truly, like, out in the middle of nowhere.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Harrison
Like, they are.
Dylan
They both moved there to be. To have no neighbors.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
That must have been brewing for so long, like, to get, like, in a beef that's a mile away.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Like, they must have been, like, just, like, looking. Looking down each other from far.
Barstool Host
Seeing if there's, like, a figure.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Binoculars out. Yeah. I'm taking my horse over there.
Harrison
That is kind of the vibe, though. They're like. Yep. See all the. See over there? That's his house, and it's like a speck. And you're like, right, right, right.
Barstool Host
But then how they both were, like, they had the exact same interests.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Barstool Host
What was it like, World War?
Barstool Co-Host
Dungeons and Dragons.
Barstool Host
And Dragons.
Barstool Co-Host
We probably would have played a bunch by now.
Yeah, yeah.
Dylan
They were like.
Barstool Co-Host
That was really sweet that they finally admitted to some common ground.
Wasn't one of them, like, complimenting that? They were like, he's actually very talented in Dungeons and Dr. Yeah.
Harrison
Yeah, yeah. He is a dungeon master.
Barstool Host
Yeah.
Harrison
Yeah, I heard he's a dungeon master. If it was cool, we would have played. Unfortunately not. He has a gate. Yeah. We really Wanted them to play Dungeons and Dragons?
Dylan
No, that would have been one of it so bad.
Barstool Co-Host
You. You shot some of these a while ago. Have you kept up. This is a corollary to my earlier question, but have you kept up with any of these people and have any of. Of them resolved anything? Again, don't answer for sure if it gives it away.
Dylan
I think some have. Have just like, the fire has dimmed.
Barstool Co-Host
I say.
Dylan
I don't know if it's, like, resolved. Like, I don't know if they, like, love each other, but I think that the, like the fieriness of the. Of the dispute. Because I also think. And sometimes. And I think our show sort of does something where, like, both sides get to kind of exercise their. Their anger at the same time. And I do think it kind of takes the temperature down ye end of
Harrison
the day, at least for a bit.
Dylan
At least for a little while.
Harrison
Yeah.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
The. Was there you. You highlighted in the one with the two women in the little strip of grass.
Harrison
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
And then, you know, also the. The Vietnam vet and. And the guy. I can't remember their names. I'm sorry, but that everyone was, like, had guns and that there were life threats. Was there ever a moment where you thought, boy, we're close to a murder here. Like, we. Or we're in danger or anything like. Like that?
Harrison
I don't think, like, we ever. I think the only. The time where Victoria shows us her gun and she just, like, doesn't know. She's like a Nike loaded, I think was like, the closest we actually felt to like, us being in a harm because, like, that's like, the scariest thing is the gun to accidentally go off and kill one of us. Like, when that was happening, I just imagined the headline like, of just like, like, film crew. Someone in a film crew died because a gun went off.
Dylan
Yeah.
Barstool Co-Host
But she just, like, pulls it out of a drawer. Like, it's not in, like, a safe.
Harrison
Yeah, yeah.
Dylan
Under a sweater in her closet.
Harrison
Yeah.
Dylan
Drops it.
Barstool Host
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Harrison
That was the scary. I mean, I think, you know, when. I think when. When Johnny, like, threatened us in that moment, like, I think we were, like, freaked out and. But in terms of, like, them actually hurting each other, I think we were never on. Honestly, like, this is gonna get to that point. You know, it felt dangerous because, like, when Victoria's, like, throwing the bushes really well, it's a real physical thing she's doing, but we were never, like, they're actually gonna go over and, like, shoot each other. You know, it's Sort of a threat, wouldn't you say?
Barstool Co-Host
I guess they also know they're being filmed, so that would be a pretty bold.
Dylan
Right?
Barstool Co-Host
Pretty bold move. Yeah. I'm gonna kill the neighbor.
Harrison
Wait till season 50. The world has told. Yeah, exactly.
Barstool Co-Host
Like, well, we got you miked up and there's cameras everywhere.
Harrison
Right.
Barstool Host
But I kind of would as a. Like, if I was making a. A film about that, I'd be like salivating a little bit. Like a little bloodlust.
Dylan
Right, right, right.
Barstool Co-Host
Not blood, but maybe like a warning shot.
Yeah.
Barstool Host
Or like grays. Gray.
Harrison
You just fire it once. Not at them, obviously, if you wanted to. No, I, I mean, we, we have to constantly check ourselves when we're making this show and remind ourselves that we are filming. Filming with real people. Like, because I think it's really easy when you're making documentary to be like, this is the story we're telling. This is where we want the story to go. And I think every day we're constantly checking ourselves, like, what are these people actually doing? What are we following? You know, like. Yeah, so, yeah, it's a constant negotiation.
Barstool Host
Is there, like, are there plans for what you guys are going to do next? I'm sure that this has opened up a lot of opportunities. I'm sure a lot of people love it as much as we all do.
Dylan
Well, hopefully, hopefully. Can you do it again? Yeah, yeah, hopefully do it again.
Barstool Host
Run it back.
Harrison
Get a pod, guys.
Barstool Co-Host
No word.
Harrison
A couple more podcasts.
Dylan
Podcast going.
Barstool Co-Host
Well, you could, yeah, you could do what every other sitcom actor has done and just go, just start a podcast, talking about the episodes. I don't think it would last very long.
Harrison
Yeah, exactly six half hour episodes. No, hopefully we'll do, you know, another season and hopefully this show, I mean, we want this show to last as long as it can last, you know, and like we always, you know, imagined it as the next Cops.
Barstool Co-Host
I was literally just gonna say, like, I could see it being like a co. Yeah, just is always on.
Harrison
Yeah, exactly. Just keep running it, you know, so.
Barstool Co-Host
And it's like every episode it's like, I have an idea of what's going to happen, but it's going to be great regardless.
Harrison
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dylan
I think it gets us excited to think about, like, taking on, you know, reality TV as something that's kind of become sort of a little soft and kind of like kind of hooked a little bit. Like it just feels a little like over baked. And I think bringing realness back to reality TV again and like making it bring the doc approach to that kind of thing I think is exciting for us. And there's so many different types of, like, sub genres rally television that we think we could, you know, have fun doing.
Harrison
Yeah.
Dylan
Like, bring that kind of, like, rawness to, you know.
Barstool Host
Yes. Well, dude, thank you guys so much for coming on. This is so fun. Yeah. You could just tell because we're gushing, but we're just all such big fans of it and, like, I want to see as much of it as you guys are ever allowed to make.
Harrison
Oh, that's nice. Thank you guys for having us on. We could just keep doing this for another four hours.
Barstool Host
A little fake job. Like you guys are in an editing bay eating.
Barstool Co-Host
Yeah.
Barstool Host
Doing absolute.
Harrison
No, you guys are making change in here.
Barstool Co-Host
We're changing the world.
Harrison
You guys are matters. Okay,
Barstool Co-Host
well, that you guys are capturing other people, but we're people living what you're filming, I guess.
Dylan
Cool.
Harrison
Appreciate it.
Dylan
Cool.
Harrison
Thank you.
Dylan
Thanks, guys.
Barstool Co-Host
Check out Neighbors on hbo.
Harrison
Yeah, please, please check it out. Please, please watch the fuck.
Date: March 12, 2026
Guests: Harrison Fishman & Dylan Redford, Creators of HBO’s "Neighbors"
This episode features an in-depth and lively conversation with Harrison Fishman and Dylan Redford, the creative minds behind HBO's new docu-series "Neighbors." Hosted by the irreverent Barstool duo, the discussion covers the making of the show, outrageous neighbor disputes, the surreal world of nudist colonies, documentary filmmaking, and the wild journey of turning a passion project into a hit TV show. Throughout, there's plenty of trademark Barstool comedy and tangential riffing, but the heart is a sharp look at the quirks of American neighborhoods.
(00:14–03:00)
"This will kind of unlearn." —Dylan (01:31)
(01:52–03:51)
"[San Francisco] just became this like kind of just... dudes who wear Patagonia vests. [...] It lost the edge it had." —Dylan (02:47)
(03:56–05:48)
"I've heard of sunning your asshole is the most efficient way to absorb vitamin D, I think." —Barstool Host (04:19)
(06:12–08:27)
"A docu series where we follow real people around the country dealing with neighbor disputes in real time." —Harrison (06:41)
(08:07–08:58)
"You get obsessed with the characters really quickly... in episode three, it almost feels like, dangerous." —Barstool Host (08:37)
(08:59–13:27)
"He said, I don't have children and you guys are going to go out and have children. ...Well, that I would threaten to kill your children." —Barstool Co-Host describing Johnny (11:30)
"Anytime a subject would start filming us, it was like, oh. We were like, right, right, right." —Harrison (13:20)
(14:22–18:09)
"When we were casting the pilot, we on Craigslist wrote this is for an HBO show. Even though it was not HBO for the next, you know, three years." —Harrison (17:37)
(18:13–20:31)
"The guy we thought was in the right has been watching Ellen DeGeneres live every day for ten years..." —Barstool Co-Host (18:29)
(20:23–23:48)
"People do that, you know, I mean, which is why we thought it was so interesting. Like, this is that it just makes that show also just feel more real." —Harrison (22:11)
(24:35–25:46)
"We spent pretty much every day around six to eight hours a day for two to three weeks per story." —Dylan (25:15)
(26:17–27:20)
How the presence of cameras might affect behavior; the team tries stopping the question and accepts whatever is captured.
"At a certain point, we stop caring because...whatever happens is real." —Dylan (26:25)
Standout “Hot Mic” moment:
"...she was like, can I tell them that you used my son's piss? And he's like, oh, no, absolutely not." —Barstool Co-Host (27:15)
(32:19–33:46)
"We were making, like, Internet videos, basically. [...] Comedy Internet videos that no one watched." —Dylan (32:22)
(34:11–36:15)
"Never knew I had an erotic fixation on flight attendants until that." —Barstool Co-Host (35:03)
(36:18–38:10)
(38:17–40:20)
“He doesn’t do the over the shoulder shot for dialogue. He puts the camera right in the middle of the table.” —Barstool Co-Host (39:37)
(46:01–54:13)
"We filmed nude a lot of the time." —Harrison (46:16) "I was just like spread eagle for like hours, like staring at our subject just with my dick out and recording them." —Dylan (46:38)
(56:52–57:09)
(57:58–59:30)
Even in rural America, with neighbors a mile apart, drama persists.
"You learned from the first episode that there's almost no amount of land that exists where you wouldn't still be bothered by a neighbor..." —Barstool Co-Host (57:58)
Sometimes, the show leads to diminished hostilities simply by letting both sides vent.
"...both sides get to kind of exercise their anger at the same time. And I do think it kind of takes the temperature down..." —Dylan (59:52)
(60:21–62:49)
"We have to constantly check ourselves when we're making this show and remind ourselves that we are filming with real people." —Harrison (62:22)
(62:49–64:19)
"We want this show to last as long as it can last... imagined it as the next Cops." —Harrison (63:17)
On finding realness in reality TV:
"Bringing realness back to reality TV again and like making it bring the doc approach to that kind of thing I think is exciting for us." —Dylan (64:12)
On boner protocol in nudist colonies:
"You carry around your butt rug. And so if in fact you get a erection, cover the erection with the butt rug." —Dylan (47:39)
On filming naked:
"I was just like spread eagle for like hours, like staring at our subject just with my dick out and recording them." —Dylan (46:38)
On unresolved neighbor conflict:
"You learned from the first episode that there's almost no amount of land that exists where you wouldn't still be bothered by a neighbor..." —Barstool Co-Host (57:58)

The tone is raw, comedic, irreverent, and candid—true to the Barstool Sports style—with moments of surprising depth as the guests explain the ethical challenges and creative energy behind “Neighbors.” The dialogue is fast-paced and frequently veers into tangents, but always returns to the genuine fascination with ordinary (and very odd) Americans.
If you’re intrigued by the behind-the-scenes mechanics of documentary filmmaking, fascinated by American quirks, or just want to hear how an offbeat idea became one of HBO’s most bingeable new docu-series, this episode delivers.
Most Memorable Takeaway:
There is no amount of physical distance or social difference that can prevent neighbors from clashing—it’s just human nature, and with the right eye, those clashes can become unmissable television.
