Today it is October 13th, 11:25am Figured we get this one out of the day or out of the way early so we can focus on repairs at the hospital afterwards. How are we feeling fellas?
A
Anything do you have anything to say?
B
Yeah, I mean, of course I'd like to apologize to absolutely nobody. No, obviously. Yeah, I. Yeah, no, I feel. Probably feel bad about my actions.
A
Well, what actions? Because people might not know. People might be.
B
I'm sure people are. I'm sure people are pretty.
A
People maybe have never heard. So maybe just like update on everything that happens.
B
It would be a wild episode if this was the one that you decided. I'll check this podcast out.
A
Maybe it'll be funny.
B
True. True. Yeah. No, I mean, I fucked up pretty badly on all ends. You guys were right. Pretty head on. I was pretty wrong in every way.
A
Yeah, well, has there been. Was there any consequence to you being wrong? Did you make anybody's life materially worse in the process?
B
Well, I'm not sure about that. I would assume. Hopefully not, but there's a chance. And if that's the case, I would feel awful.
A
Yeah, you would feel awful if it was the case.
B
Well, I still feel bad right now. Yeah. I apologize.
C
Why do you think you didn't make anyone's life materially worse?
B
I have no idea.
C
So do you think you did or you didn't?
B
I mean, I guess, yes, I would say if people are getting removed from the first class list because of me, then yeah.
A
You know how nice first class is? You know how nice it is to sit in first class and then to. To take that out of people's. You can't go backwards. You don't spend time in first class and then go sit wedged between two people and have the fucking Biscoff cookies and the damn cheez its.
C
You relegated me. You knocked me from the Premier League down into the championship.
B
I know, and I'm sorry for that.
C
Of your own accord.
B
I got a Delta gift card for you. It's on the way. Should be in the mailbox by tomorrow.
A
How much?
B
He'll see when he gets it.
A
That's not going to cover one upgrade.
B
It should cover upgrades for the rest of the year and then we'll work out a payment plan afterwards.
A
There's no chance. The backbone of this.
B
I'm not even joking.
C
40. 40% of our topic on this podcast is talking about first class.
B
I know. We were fucked.
C
We are not. How dare you? How dare you?
A
Trying to sit with us, Francis?
B
I'm talking upgrades for a year. Forgive me, please. Three upgrades.
C
We got a long way to go.
A
Three upgrades and you just said the rest of the year. It's. It's late October.
B
I can lock you in for a year. I'M gonna have to move some money around, but I'll work on it.
C
If you present me with a gift card that somehow magically upgrades me to Delta360, we'll talk.
B
Well, I mean, now we're talking. All of the money I have, you're.
C
Gonna need, you're gonna need to have lunch with Ed in himself and, and get him me on his radar.
A
I mean money comes and goes. But what, what you've what you've robbed yourself of friendship. I mean, that's a finite resource in this world.
B
No, I mean, yeah. I am very sorry. I, I, I was stupid. There's really no other way to say it. I mean, I guess, yeah, sometimes I say things and I don't really expect there to be any consequences, especially not on other people.
C
So.
A
Yeah, well, I mean, have you talked to KFC and Feitelberg?
B
I have not, no. Because their gift cards will be on the way as well.
C
There's a line out the door right now. Beleaguered.
B
The checkbook's not right.
A
Were you downstairs? Did you go downstairs at all?
B
Because as me, I faced the music.
A
Yeah, yeah, but was anyone down there.
B
Been here since nine.
A
That's whose house. Shaking hands. Was there anybody down there that fights was down there?
B
I, I loosely made eye contact with him and then I, and then I, I just could, I felt so bad.
A
Well, what do you think is worse for fights? Being removed from the first class list or being told by Dave on a public forum that he is no longer worthy of that because of some something he did in his job?
B
Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not, I don't know if I'm really at a place where I can speak on all that, but I feel bad about it. I definitely, when I said I wanted to be on the first class list, obviously I was not intending on.
A
Well, I wish someone would have warned you.
B
Yeah, which I was warned and I did not listen. And I apologize for that.
C
I mean the clips are, are so beyond belief. Looking back now at what both he and I were saying.
B
Yes.
C
So explicitly about what exactly would happen where you denied it and then it transpired to a T. Yes, one.
B
Exactly.
A
The only thing that I can commiserate with you on is that how you kind of had this joker esque look at the world where if I'm not on it, I will watch the world burn. Now, if I'm not on it, I am going to take down this entire company. I'm gonna find every person that has ever had so much as a delmonico steak at a company. Company dinner. And I'm taking them down. Every black car, every first class seat, everyone in the C suite, every salesperson, everybody that is in charge of anything that has ever flown up front.
B
I mean, I'm. I'll. I'll draw. I'll take the Greyhound from here on out.
C
Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm not gonna do what Roan's doing. I'm specifically gonna focus on your experience.
B
Yeah, I'm fine.
C
You are now submitting your expense reports to me. And I will then kick those straight up to Dave alongside a message that's like, can you fucking believe that?
B
He charged $15 to get to Chicago?
C
16 ounces of weed to the company.
B
No, no, no. I would never.
A
But we'll have to check. I don't know. We'll have to check. And, Francis, one thing. I don't know if I have to call you out for this. You promised that you'd fuck Harry.
C
Yeah, you know, I did say I would do that.
B
I realized some things still, contracts and whatnot.
C
Yeah. That's the type of thing that might, you know, set me back even further. And I don't really want. I don't really. I'm at rock bottom right now, so I'm not hard. It's very hard for me to conjure, you know, an erection in a time of utter misery and. And feeling really low. I think what I want to say to you, like, all jokes aside, I don't give a fuck about the first class list. I really don't. Obviously, that's the humorous Trojan horse through which we have presented this whole thing. I have a million and a half miles on Delta anytime the company books me on a flight. I'll upgrade myself if I want to. And I really don't care that much. I said as much on the episode with Gas. What bothered me and what actually makes me upset is that through your actions, my boss has a more negative view of me than he did otherwise. Yeah. In a contract year. In a year when I'm up for a contract renewal. And that's a problem for me.
B
Yeah.
C
You know, that sucks.
B
Yeah. I apologize for that. I definitely. That was not my intention to bring you guys into it.
C
I wouldn't do that to you.
B
No, I don't think you would.
C
In fact, I would say that I've. I would do the opposite. I would do what I can to try to lift you up and present you in a way that hopefully helps your career forward. And I think that my actions would dictate that that has been true. And right now I'm just kind of in a place where I'm like, why did you do that?
B
Yeah.
C
It's a hard thing for me to sort of reconcile.
A
All these words are nice. I'm gonna need to see you him. Like, I need to watch that with my eyes. Like I.
B
There's a lot of people that are looking for it. That's for sure.
A
Yeah. Like Francis is gonna have to you on camera.
B
I've gotten upwards of a thousand dms. Like, get ready.
C
Oh, man.
B
Yeah. They're like, are you ready? And I'm like, yeah. I don't know what you guys think is actually about to happen.
C
Yeah. Unfortunately, I am not gay and that I say that with many layers of irony because my life would be so much better if I were. I think about that all the time. That God cursed me with heterosexuality.
A
But I bet you. I bet you will find a way. Like I don't think everybody. That someone in a prison is gay.
C
No, true. I actually thought about wearing a strap on.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
C
I was really thinking a lot about that.
B
I thought about showing up in a full latex suit gimp with like a zipper. I had a lot of ideas planned.
C
That would have been really funny. That would have been really funny.
A
The one you texted me, was that.
B
The Drake with the bullet holes?
A
The Drake with all the bullet holes walking in? Yeah.
B
No, I mean, it's tough. It's. Yeah. I'm sorry, I definitely. That was not. Yeah, I mean, no one wants to get a mass group of their co workers in trouble at the same time. That was definitely not my intention.
A
I actually have never seen anything like. No, I don't think. I've never seen everybody get in trouble at once because of one small domino push.
B
Yeah, it's tough, but it's. It's my fault and I take full, full blame and I apologize.
C
I can give you.
B
I'll make it up.
C
I can give you the remedy. I can give you the. The menu.
B
Do tell.
C
That you should follow for repair. Prepare. Yeah. Repairing.
B
Clean repair.
C
Honestly, it's pretty simple, dude. It's just buying in.
B
Yeah.
C
That's all I ask. I want you to buy the in.
B
Okay.
C
No, specifically to be way podcast. And this is not. I've already bought in Harry.
B
Been here since nine.
C
You know what I mean?
B
I'm here.
C
I want.
B
I'm dialed.
C
Listen. I want commitment.
B
I'm committed.
C
I want. I want you being. When we post an episode, I want you to throw up a story on instagram. I'm not saying every time, but here and there.
B
Here and there.
C
I don't. We need to figure out our punctuality. It has seeped into absurdity at this point, and Ron has total, you know, carte blanche or whatever because of this.
A
No, I don't want carte blanche, but.
C
We need to fucking start trying a little harder because. And we're all. We're all responsible for it. We've all contributed to it. But, you know, it starts with understanding that when you show up 30 minutes past, you're fucking everyone's time, and you're just not honoring everyone's time, and that includes our producers. It includes everybody. We all need to be better about that, you know? No, more like, I. I don't know what to say when we schedule a shoot or. Or. Or have some plans for this to try to elevate the podcast. And I say all this because my raft is tied to yours, and I made that choice because Dave told us that's what we should do.
B
Yeah.
C
My boss prescribed for me a path to greater riches.
B
Yes.
C
And I have faith in you, and I have always had faith in you, but at a point, it's like, if you don't exhibit the willingness to push this thing forward, then what choice do I have but to protect my own career and, like, go another route? And by that, I mean I will continue to show up and be professional and do this podcast. And I know I'm probably. I've said this before, like, the least important link here, but at that point, it will just be business, and I will match your commitment and energy, and it will just be, like, the bare minimum, and then we'll just float in mediocrity and not go anywhere.
A
Last episode, I gave a bunch of my goals for the show. Did you listen?
B
I did.
A
What did you think?
C
Great.
B
Love them.
A
Well, what's some of your goals?
B
You can't say I said my goals.
A
What's that?
B
I told you guys my goals. I forget I texted you them.
A
I don't remember.
B
We were texting, like, two weeks ago.
C
I don't think I ever.
B
On the podcasts.
A
Oh. Should make a chart better consistently.
B
Yeah.
C
I think we're in a really interesting position right now. This is an inflection point, and we can go one of two ways, and it's up to you, man.
A
And you're gonna need to start by telling that story about Beau.
B
I'm not telling that story.
A
You have to tell that story if you want to make this right. You're gonna Throw your friendship with your buddy under the bus and make this right immediately.
B
I can't tell that story, or I'm.
A
Gonna tell it secondhand another time when.
B
He figures out his life path.
A
What are you. What are you thinking right now?
B
Right now?
A
Yeah.
B
I'm thinking I want to put this nicotine pouch in my mouth.
A
I saw you start fiddling with a nicotine po and it reminded me of family therapy.
B
Yeah, playing with your hands.
A
Yeah, playing with your hands.
C
I mean, we can move past this. We can get back to talking about, you know, fishing and video games in your stomach, but, you know, our bread and butter.
A
People come for stomach talk. People fucking burst down the door for stomach talk.
B
I actually had my morning diarrhea already so nice before, right when you guys were getting here. I said, I better go clear the.
A
Tommy, what was your reactions when, like, how did it come across your desk that all this stuff with Dave on the live stream.
B
When was it was it. It was two days ago.
A
It was, like, Saturday night.
B
Oh, yeah. I was in the green room at Rodney's, sitting on my phone, reading the.
C
Twitter I was on in the green room in San Diego. And I watched that clip five minutes before I went on stage. And I was on stage, and I could not fucking think of anything else to the point where I could hear myself telling jokes while my entire inner consciousness was focused on what I was going to do to you and. And how enraged I was. And I was looking out at the audience. It was like there was this complete disconnect from what was happening and what I was, where I actually was. And I started fumbling words and, like, kind of fucking up a little bit. And I so badly wanted to explain to them what I was really thinking about, but it was so, like, far off from where we were. So I just fucked my way through it. And then. And it was. I truly haven't had such a. Like, a mind split in my life. I can't remember a time when I've ever had two. Two simultaneous thoughts like that.
A
I tried to, like, explain it all to my wife yesterday as she was, like, holding a baby that was crying, and she was like, oh, nice.
C
Oh, this matters. Yeah, cool. First, no, this matters.
A
Oh, wow. No, that's so interesting that you're. That you're talking about that, which is, like. If you, like, explained it to some crowd in.
C
Yeah.
A
San Diego, that doesn't necessarily. It's like.
C
And.
A
Yeah. And I was on the list. And then he said, when they brought up my name, and now I don't know if I'm on the list anymore.
C
It's just a funny thing. But this is why I explained to people, this is why I clarify that it's not about the list. That's the humorous side of it. And we can play that up all we want, but, you know, the reality is, like, watching Dave just fully denounce me as being undeserving of that and make him consider how little, like, I mean, and. And sort of almost become angry about that is like, oh, fuck, dude, that really sucks. That's a huge step backwards for me, you know, in a year where I want to ask for a raise, probably, and I'm doing work that I consider valuable and trying to make the right choices and stuff like this. Do you know that I told Dave that I would. I wanted my future to be here so badly, and I wanted to prove how much I cared about building my career here, that I would be willing to stop doing stand up entirely if it meant that he would utilize me more and more favorably, see my commitment to the company. I would forego my entire standup career.
A
What did he say to that?
C
He said, let me think about it. And then he didn't get back to me until he said, wow, I can't believe Francis is on the first class list. Which clearly is his answer to that. You should give up your standup career and no, you are not going to go ahead in this company is basically what he's saying.
A
They double whammied you.
C
Yeah.
A
Oh, my God, Dave. I love it. I just love that he's so fucking invested in the company financially.
B
He's tapped in. Do you think if Michigan won, that conversation would have gone a little different?
C
Yeah.
A
Michigan one. He's like, writing checks and, like, throwing them out.
B
Francis isn't flying private.
C
We should fix that.
A
Yeah, Yeah, I want Francis flying me, actually. That's when I go. If I go on my tirade, I'm definitely coming for the private. The private lists.
B
Yeah.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
You got something planned?
A
I've. Yeah. Nuclear warfare.
C
Dude. I was so mad about this. I can't even describe to you how angry it made me.
B
I was texting you.
C
I know. And I didn't. Here we go.
B
I was waiting for the lashing.
C
This is. This is where unfortunately, like, well, I.
B
Gave you a respected amount of time.
C
No, but what I was going to say is, like, for all the things that people assume about me, I am unfortunately an empathetic person. And I knew that if I did not respond to you and make it clear that we were going to be fine. You would have anxiety, which is what I would do, probably. Yeah. And I didn't want to put you through that because that sucks. Especially on a Sunday when you just want to relax and watch ball. And so I was like, don't worry about it. Whatever. It's fine. And I knew I would have a moment to, like, tell you how I really feel, which is what I'm doing now. I think that, you know, that's one of the weird things about this podcast, is that we can be honest and we can live in satire. But as I said, the only thing that I ask for you is that, you know, let's fucking go. Let's fucking go.
B
Agreed.
C
Let's embrace this. We have a winning ticket here. Let's fucking play it. This podcast is on the verge. Maybe I'm crazy, but that's what we've been told. And everyone else is dialed in. I think the sky is the limit, and I'd really like to give it a shot.
A
One thing I have to ask about this podcast. Does the name suck that that much ass? Because I feel like a lot of times people are like, yeah, I didn't want to give the podcast a shot because of the name. And then I listened. It was actually pretty good.
B
Really? Do people still talk about the name like that?
A
I saw something about the name recently like that. It's like, we. We have to get a clip out there that's like, hey, son of a boy. Dad. Not as bad as the name.
B
I don't think the name. I think.
A
I think the name is nice. I think it's masculine.
C
I've never understood the name, but I like it.
A
He's not even for understanding.
B
I just call it boy.
A
Boy dad.
B
Which said or sobbed.
C
How did you guys come up with it rounded?
A
Throw me under the bus for the fucking. Did I send a list of a thousand names? And you're like, I like that one.
C
I mean, for what it's worth, call her daddy. Didn't make any sense either.
B
It still doesn't make any sense.
C
And it's fucking the biggest ever. So, you know, the Joe Rogan experience.
A
Doesn'T make any sense.
B
That's cut and dry.
C
That's pretty.
B
We need something like that. The other thing gimmicks.
A
The other thing going forward that we. Everyone, even within barstool, is forbidden from clipping this podcast. They are forbidden from taking any chunk of this podcast, especially the quarter slices. That they're eating.
B
Seven minute chunks is diabolical.
C
What is that?
B
What do you Mean, they clipped seven minutes.
C
So what does that do? It's like they're hurting our views.
B
Don't watch the episode.
A
Yeah, why would you watch the episode? Watch seven minutes. And then when this saga comes up, they just recycle the seven minute clip. Instead of anything being directed back towards here. There's no, like, semblance of, hey, let's watch the podcast. It's just like, what can we fucking.
C
Take to watch the remaining three minutes of the episode, Click here.
A
It's all ads. The other three minutes are ads. You are fruit forbidden from clipping any of this. You can clip this part. You are forbidden from clipping this. This podcast.
C
Want to see a little less? Click this link.
A
Only state sanctioned clips will be going out from here on out.
C
Yeah.
A
Absolutely forbidden.
C
How does this affect your contract negotiation? Do you think you still go in and ask for a raise?
B
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You just played your mike. Let's load up the calendar. Let's get some dates going for as soon as possible.
A
Why?
B
I need to be on the road.
A
But Dave doesn't see you any different. Dave doesn't see you any. It's more that you just now everybody hates you. It's not that, Dave.
B
I feel like every time I start feeling good about myself at barstool, Dave hits me with just an ego check of a lifetime.
C
Yeah.
B
In which I'm just sent back down to the ground.
C
Yeah, that happened to me on Saturday.
B
Yeah.
C
Same exact thing.
B
Yeah, it's kind of like, oh, yeah, maybe I am fucking retarded.
C
Yeah, yeah, maybe I'm worthless, but that does that.
A
Humility winds up serving you for a long time. And also, it's like Dave sees someone else's ego getting big and he just, like, sticks his straw into the top of the juice box and just like.
C
Dude, how about he's back to full strength. How about the. How about the minions chiming in around Dave on that stream?
B
Well, they. Yeah, that shit.
C
The fucking team of sycophants are talking.
A
About Big, Big T and Spider and.
C
I think Austin maybe.
A
Yeah.
C
I don't know.
A
First class Austin or first class Gas that we're talking about. Let's not act like this is a finite list over here. That's this list. The iceberg is only the content. People are what's above the ground. Everybody else that's riding first class is underneath. And I will expose them all.
C
What bug, what bugs me is that they. They're tipping Dave's hand. Do you know what I mean? They're Presenting the information in such a leading way. Like, the question from the chat was like, how. How is it? How do you feel about the first class list? And then it turned into like, here's the list. And then some. Dave was like, why is Francis on the list? Definitely not. And then someone was like, he claims to go with foreplay. What do you mean, I claim? What do you mean, I claim?
A
I spent, like, crazy claims, 38 days.
C
On the road with them last year.
B
Yeah.
C
I'm in 15 of their videos.
B
You're in the video.
C
I'm on their YouTube homepage. Fucking shield.
A
These are. These are all claims. You're making claims for.
C
For Dave. That's the other thing. It's like he's like, does he even travel? It's like, how does he not know that? You know what I mean? Coming to learn just how unaware Dave is of whatever efforts I'm making, I'm like, would it even make a difference if I stopped trying? Like, should I be putting in this effort? That's how I operate. But, like, clearly, when I present these, he's answered the question of if I were to present the things that I do around here in a contract renegotiation, what would he say? And it's like.
A
Well, I think he's. I think what it comes down to is what he understands is numbers, and the numbers of this show are good. So he understands that. And that's why he's like, this show is your guys's meal ticket.
C
Yeah.
A
Because that's what. That's like, the language that he understands and, like, helping other brands for whatever reason, like, does not.
C
Doesn't do anything.
A
Doesn't factor.
C
I get that. So in. In light of that, so now Beef.
A
Can go play golf with Frankie and Trent instead of Francis. So no cherry on those.
C
Yeah. So in light of that, you know, I. I think it's like, by extension, if I view that, this podcast is my meal ticket.
B
Yeah.
C
And Roan feels that way, too. If you don't agree.
B
No, I agree.
C
You are fucking with our bag.
B
No, I agree. This and this and Bush.
C
Yeah. And did you ever watch that thing Chappelle put out on Netflix? It was like a 20 minute sort of stream of thought.
B
Yeah.
C
Talk about, like, what happened when the Comedy Central stuff. Yeah, yeah. You saw that.
B
Yeah.
C
And he told this story about how when he used to walk into Greenwich Village to go to the Cellar when he was a young comic, he would pass this guy who was doing, like, magic tricks. Magic tricks.
B
Yeah.
C
And he pointed out, I think it Was him. He pointed out, like, what the trick was.
B
Yeah.
C
And someone came up to him afterwards and was like, never. Never with a man's ability to make his money.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
C
Never with a man's livelihood. That resonated with me because we can. We can do all we want, but, you know, when someone stands in the way of me trying to further my career and all and, you know, live the lifestyle that I want to live and try to put money away to support a family someday, whatever, like that. I take that personally, of course.
A
Anyway, also, Arian Foster said that he's going to meet your ass in the Octagon.
B
You'd have to. He's going to be looking around for which one was he?
A
I don't remember.
B
It's tough because I've never beat the. Out of Tommy.
C
Yeah.
B
I'm mad, but I don't even know who I'm mad at.
A
Just gonna have to beat any white bastard out there.
C
I don't see anyone that little.
A
Oh, man.
C
All right.
A
Good fun.
B
Good fun.
A
I was hoping you.
B
Francis, your Giants destroyed Roan's Eagles.
C
How about that?
B
Yeah.
C
How about that? Jackson dart. I did.
B
Great game.
C
Pretty awesome if you're a Giants fan. He's a hero, man.
B
He's great.
C
I'm worried about him.
B
I wouldn't be.
C
I mean, he's going into the blue tent like it's a. Yeah, I think he'll.
B
I think he'll figure that out. Drake May did that last year a bunch, and then they worked it out, and now he slides more.
C
Historically, the Giants offensive line over the last 10 years has not exactly been a priority for them. Look at fucking. You know. Fuck. I can't remember his name. Our previous. Our previous quarterback is now Indiana Jones. Daniel Jones is in Indianapolis. Indiana Jones, like an MVP candidate.
B
He's the best.
C
He finally has an offensive line.
B
Do you think him and Saquon are texting each other every day?
A
They said they were.
B
Yeah.
A
They admitted to texting each other.
B
Yeah.
A
It's. They were dying to get out of there, but now it seems like it's a sick place and all they needed was a presidential ticket of two.
B
Two white boys.
A
I mean, they're cussed white boys.
C
Yeah. Their two wins are against the Chargers and the Eagles.
B
That's pretty good.
C
It's a. It's unbelievable.
B
Yeah.
C
Those are two serious playoff contenders.
B
Well, the Chargers are kind of.
C
I don't agree with that. I think they're. I think they're good. I think they're gonna. I love Justin Herbert I like him.
B
Too, and I like Harbo, but I don't know if they're gonna. They've had a little bit of. They've had a. They've had a rough stretch.
C
Yeah.
B
Like the Eagles.
A
I mean, the Eagles have the same record as the Lions, who was, like, the best team in the league. They've beaten the Bucks. Who are the best team in the nfc?
B
I wouldn't say that. Oh, yeah.
A
Number one seed.
B
What's their record? The Eagles.
A
Four and two.
B
Oh, Patriots as well. It's not bad.
A
So the Eagles aren't bad.
B
We should be 6, 0, the Eagles.
A
I agree.
B
No, no.
A
What?
B
You guys are losing by four touchdowns. Yeah.
A
Because we have four of the top 100 players in the league. Out. Jalen Carter.
B
Out.
A
Queen and Mitchell. Out. Landon Dickerson, out.
B
The Patriots without anybody. We don't need anyone. We just need Drake. Matt.
A
Yeah. It's so crazy how the Patriots fans have all crowned Drake May because he won four games.
B
He's undeniably great.
A
Yeah. But it is funny that they're like, we have. We had Brady, now we have Drake May.
B
That's a little much. That's a little bit of a. Rusholi.
A
Is the number one.
B
Yeah.
A
Solely makes you guys look a little bit shaky. Just because he. He'll just. Yeah.
B
Also, we beat the Bills, which was awesome, but, like, it's still the Bills, dude. Like, people are talking about it like, they're like, it's over. They're like. They're like, the Bills had their chance. It's over. It's like, well, they could, like, you guys play again. It's still the Bills.
A
You guys are playing again this exact calendar year.
B
Like, they're still a better team than we are right now. Am I wrong?
A
I don't know. Josh Allen, the same record or. No. They've only have one loss, right? Yeah.
B
From us. They're 4 and 1.
C
Fasoli has a moment in the Internet Invitational.
B
Yeah.
C
Which I'm not. He's a cameraman. That is the funniest thing I've seen in five years.
B
Yeah.
C
I'm not making this up. He does something that is so beyond.
A
Does he take a shirt off?
C
Dude, I can't. I don't want to allude to it too much. I just want to prepare people that when this comes to light, what he did is the funniest shit I've ever seen. It was hard to recover from. It was hard to recover from the calamity of errors that he committed.
B
I'm very interested to see do you know. Do you know Fasoli's drink of choice?
A
Mudslide?
B
Yeah. Did you know that that's not a joke at all. Like he goes to a bar. Like if he goes out for dinner, I'm gonna get a steak and a mudslide.
C
What is a mud slot?
B
Is it like kalu piece of chocolate cake with vodka all over it?
C
Vodka with ice. And you blend it, right? Yeah. How do you get. How do you get one of those at a non beach bar?
B
I have no idea.
C
Where do they. They don't serve that at fucking. You got a board, Charles.
A
Cake from home and your own magic bullet.
C
You don't have a blender. Well, I was worried about that.
A
He was. We were at like the circus circus or what's the Vegas outdoor casino where they have a wall of TVs. Oh, the biggest wall of TVs.
B
Circus sports.
A
Yeah, something like that. Circus sports. And we. It was like 10am we're going to watch football, maybe 9am and like we're just like everybody's watching football. And he's filming something behind the scenes. And he just goes knee deep into like a wading pool while he's filming everybody and just peels off his shirt and just like starts like filming everybody from point blank range with his shirt off and like is recruiting everybody. He's like, come on, like take your shirt off, dude. Like, I'll give you like 100 bucks. He was trying to get other people so he could get better content for his behind the scenes scenes. It's like no one wanted to take their shirt off, much less get filmed at point blank. But of course, just, just doing my job.
C
Dave. When Dave was talking about what happened after the Internet Invitational, he goes, fasoli has the yips, man. As a cameraman did it.
B
I don't even want to guess because I feel like I'll be too close. I feel like I'm starting to get an idea.
A
I'm.
C
I'm alluding to too much.
A
But I love him so much. He's one of my favorite people to around.
C
Yeah.
A
And he's so funny. He was on this pop punk trip this past weekend and he was just like so annoyed that like I think he was like, I'm only gonna get six hours of sleep tonight right now.
C
Hey, how was that?
A
Was amazing.
C
That looked like a big deal.
A
It was like, I mean, I don't know exactly how many people there might have been 3, 000 people there watching us.
B
It was smokes. That's crazy. Yeah. It was like Sounds like my New York shows.
A
It felt like I was like, damn.
B
This is what Sass and Francis -2,800.
C
I got a lot of DMS about your shows. People love to give me feedback on you.
B
I don't get any DMs about my shows. And it actually. It's almost a little worrisome when you do the show and then you check your Instagram and you're like, not even, like. Not even like a.
C
Are you looking in. Your hidden messages sometimes filtered into that.
B
I'm on fucking Instagram, Twitter.
C
Someone was telling me. Someone was telling me you had a bunch of really hot girls at your show.
B
I don't think so.
C
There was a group of 20 of them against the back wall. It might have been the Friday late show. I really took care to know.
B
I'm not sure. I didn't see.
A
I saw that too.
B
It's mostly. It's mostly dudes. I know the Saturday early show. There was probably more women than other ones.
C
I love that you're getting the sweet honey babies.
B
No, it's like. I mean, I said to you guys, it's like 95 men. 5% sweet honey babies, though, and 5% sweet honey babies.
A
Group of 20 out of 200 people there, so that would at least be 10 sweet honey babies. And that's if there's no other sweet honey babies in the entire crowd.
B
That's kind of how it goes, dude.
C
I had a moment in San Diego that was tough. Really tough to come back from.
B
What was.
C
Was right before I went on, I found out that my friend had demoted me first class. Really? No, no, no. It was. It was in the. I think it was the last show. Yeah, it was the last show. There were three girls in the second row. And I go out, start, and within five minutes, they're talking to each other and they're not whispering.
B
Yeah.
C
And I try to, like, I look at them and do my jokes, which is usually, like, my first step. I'm like, hey, I can see you, and this is really distracting.
B
Yeah.
C
Nothing. So then in the middle of a joke, I stopped and I. I did with Theo. Vaughn taught me, which is like, instead.
A
Of just threaten suicide.
C
Instead of attacking them and, you know, being, like, really mean off the bat. Give them a chance.
B
Yeah, yeah.
C
And I was like, hey, guys, I'm really sorry, but it's like, it's. It's very distracting with you talking. You're in the second row. I. I can hear everything you're saying, and it's hard for me to, like, Follow through on what I'm trying to say with you guys talking. Would you mind, please?
B
Yeah.
C
And they like kind of looked at each other and then one of them went, are you kidding me? Swear to God, she said that? And it was just dark enough and the lights were just in my face that I wasn't entirely sure that one of them had said it. I thought maybe someone behind them had said it.
B
Yeah.
C
So I go, did you just say, are you fucking kidding me? And they went, no. And I was like, I wasn't sure. I was like, all right, either way, let's just move on. But all good. Like, please. Five minutes go by. They're talking again.
B
Yeah.
C
And I can. I can see them.
B
Yeah.
C
They're like leaning into each other's ears a little bit, but they're talking. Non whispers. I don't understand. Sometimes people think at a comedy show they behave the same way that they would at a concert or a sports game, which I understand. It's live performance. There's a lot of people in the room. You think you are not heard. But if you're sitting in the second row, I can hear every word you're saying. If you're not fucking fully whispering. And it's impossible to run the train of thought of jokes over this sound wave of conversation. They start to blend and get gargled and jumbled. Oh, yeah, what's that?
A
You had little sass in the back of your head too, man.
C
Now I had three innard monologues.
A
Well, yeah, genuinely. This hollow bread weave of fucking different ideas going through your head.
B
It is like a thing of like they're talking. I can hear what they're saying. I'm getting sucked into that. I'm trying to tell. I'm trying to remember the joke while saying the joke while also paying attention to how the joke is doing. And if I need to change anything about the joke.
C
Right.
B
All at the same time.
C
This is exactly the thing. It's not so much that I'm angry at the disrespect of someone talking during my show. I don't. I'm not that high and mighty. I'm not that good of a comic. I can't do the best version of the act with someone that close having a full blown conversation.
B
Yeah, yeah.
C
So then I said something again. I go. And I was a little more stern this time.
B
Yeah.
C
And I went, guys, I'm sorry, but I can still hear you and I can see you. Like, please. Yeah, this is really hard if you don't. And I was like, you know, I can't. You gotta stop talking.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
C
Okay. Ten minutes later, go by, still talking it kicked it right back into gear.
B
Yeah.
C
Picked it right up. And the third time that I stopped, I said, guys, cut the. Yeah, I'm gonna have you kicked out if you don't stop talking. This is crazy.
B
Yeah.
C
I've asked you three times now.
B
Yeah.
C
Like, you're ruining the show for everyone around you. Like, I'm gonna have you kicked out if you get one more time. And they sort of sat there quietly and, like, took it. And then they were okay for the rest of the show. After the show, they came up to me and they were like, you know, that was entirely uncalled for.
B
Yeah.
C
They were like, we're huge fans of yours, and we weren't talking. I don't know what that was. We never said a word. And there's people around kind of, like waiting to take pictures and stuff.
B
Yeah.
C
So I don't want to make a scene.
B
Yeah.
C
So I'm like, oh, maybe it was someone behind you or whatever. But I could see their faces.
B
Yeah.
C
I knew exactly who it was. Them.
B
Yeah.
C
Then we, like, kind of reconcile. Then after the show, one of them DMs me, and she goes, you know, that was entirely uncalled for, but it is what it is. Like, we weren't talking at all, all this stuff. At which point I was like this. Yeah, they were just. That's just her gaslighting me, trying to convince me that she wasn't talking, when in fact, I know she was. And I wrote back a long message. I was like, I know it was you. I know it was you. I saw you talking. I didn't say anything when you told me it wasn't you, because I didn't want to make a scene. But, like, this is absurd. And I handled that with as much professionalism and integrity as I could. I probably offered you more grace than any other comedian would.
B
Yeah.
C
And don't try to tell me it wasn't you. I have the tapes of the shows. I'm looking back through them now, seeing you guys talking before. I addressed this issue. And she read the message and didn't respond. And then one of her friends DM me show us the tapes.
A
Oh, wow.
C
Which then I wrote back to her. I was like, I, I. I see you as well. I can see you as well.
A
I can almost guarantee that these women are travel nurses. Were they?
C
I don't know.
A
I think it's 90 to 95% that they're travel Nurses?
C
What does that even mean?
A
There's always some chatty women in San Diego that are travel nurses. Dude.
C
I don't know. Travel nurse?
A
Exactly, exactly. Why? What's going on in San Diego that they're always. I know, like 20 people that have been travel nurses.
B
Is that for like, old, like rich people?
A
Travel nurses?
B
Yeah. Like a nurse that just travels with them?
A
No, it's like, just saying there's some kind of travel nurse program where nurses, like get to spend a couple years in.
C
Oh, I see.
A
Wild Oats and talk at a comedy show and then come back to living on the east coast like nothing happened. Like they never talked in a comedy show and that's them trying to keep up the appearance that they never said a word on the comedy show for back home when they, when they tell themselves a story of how their life went.
C
I, I want to. I have this.
B
At least you're, like, far enough into comedy that like, you can. You knew how to, you know how to handle it.
C
I knew how to handle it.
B
That happened to me. That happened to me at, in Bloomington, Minnesota, the first time I did it like three or four years ago.
C
Yeah.
B
And it was the late show on a Saturday and there was a group of girls in the front row and they were talking and I said, hey, could you guys stop talking? It's like, I can't focus. And then she just looked at me and she goes, why are you so mean? And it was. I was so in new. And I was like, yeah. I was like, am I a fucking piece of shit? I was like, did I just cross the line? Yeah, yeah.
A
It is weird because, like, as a comic, you're like inherently engaging in people pleasing activity.
B
Yeah.
A
I want you to like me.
B
Yeah.
A
But then you also have to set a boundary to be like, you're ruining my ability to make these other people like me.
B
Yeah, yeah. And then if you say something, it, like any time, any, anytime you say something, it changes the room for sure.
C
It's.
A
Yeah, it's changed much of saying it three times. I know Tic tac toed their asses.
C
It's changing my cheering and shit.
B
When you said it.
C
Yeah, yeah. No, it was just wholly uncomfortable because my act. There's a lot of sarcasm. Yeah, right. And there's a lot of tone. And when I break that tone to be that real, it, like it takes.
B
People out of it.
A
Yeah, yeah.
C
She said, I understand your disposition, but we're such fans. And that was so, so uncalled for, considering the second time. I genuinely just Ordered a drink. So by the way, her saying the second time, that's her admitting that she actually did do this. Multiple people came up to us and said, that was uncalled for, but love you regardless. And then I wrote back. I go, there's no way. I go, you guys are lying to me. I could see you. I know specifically it was you. I don't hold it against you, but please don't try to tell me it wasn't. I watched it happen and I backed off the point after the show to avoid a scene I dealt with. You know, I went on and on.
B
But like, no one is going up to any dude. You could have been like, you guys are kill yourself. No one's going up to them after the show. Being like, that was uncalled. Sweetheart, are you okay? Yeah.
C
Don't listen to the big bad comedian.
A
Can I see a picture of their profile to see if they're truly a travel nurse?
C
Her name is Steph and her bio says live it up with two cat emojis. Go figure.
A
Travel nurse.
C
It does have travel nurse written all, all over it.
A
Oh my God. Got her ass.
B
Live it up Mount Sinai.
A
Damn, that's got to be annoying to, to deal with. But also, like, I had such. I. I have like, such like, I don't know, it would like horrify me to ever be called out. Like, even when I've been called out but like silently and someone tries to do like crowd work on me, I'll. I'll barely give in. Anything just because I don't want to be the problem in the room. Like I feel like being the problem and then doing anything to continue being the problem.
C

C
Oh, get this, get this. Do tell. Brandon. My intrepid feature. Who has featured in mascots and did he.
B
Did you know that I tried to poach him this weekend?
C
I was sitting next to him when he did that. Yeah, it's like being with your girl when a buddy of yours is like, hey, you want to hang out sometime? The, The.
A
So that he's not for the crew. You can't pass him around like, he.
C
Was in San Diego.
A
So he. But. But it would be messed up if Sass tried to share. If he tried to dip his.
B
No, look, when I'm doing stuff around.
C
New York, I always ask him, for what it's worth. I'm not built that way. Like, honestly, I want Brandon to get as much work as he can, and if there's better opportunities and, you know, if some. If Louie or whatever was like, I want to bring in the road, I'd be like, hey, dude, congrats. Like, be well if you ever want to.
B
Yeah, I think it'd be one thing if it was like, you were in. Like, you were in San Francisco and I was in. And I was in Minnesota, and I was like, I'm taking Brandon this weekend. Like, I think that would be a cross the line.
C
Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Yeah, I guess. Yeah, probably. I'd be like, dude, you've been bringing Mooc all this. Want to take the one guy that I've been traveling with for two years on him.
B
In terms of me and Francis, I.
C
Don'T, I don't feel like I own Brandon in, In any way, but I know that we've built a great rapport, and I, I, I hope he feels well taken care of and likes coming on the road with me, which I think he does. And, you know, I'm again, like, for a better opportunity, I would be very happy. But, like, for Harry, who's already like, you know, stabbed me in the back pretty badly to then add on to that by taking my opener, this was pretty.
B
Just a heads up.
A
So that was. This was gonna be.
B
It wasn't like, it wasn't like that clip came out, and then I texted Brandon and I was like, you freedon that? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna get you on the first flight out of San Diego.
C
Yeah, there's a red eye leaving in 20 minutes. Are you done with your set? He'll find a airport now. He'll find a local.
B
You can stretch.
C
There's a big, there's a big scene in San Diego. Tell him to ask the club. Ask the club. No. So, yeah, so I don't know. But dude, I do know there are comics who have had features for a while and then someone else takes them and it's like, it's, it's on site, it's a problem.
A
What's like an example of that? Anyone we can mention or it's too so like woven into the comedy scene.
C
It's woven and, and, and you know where it happens a lot? It was like the Comedy Store specifically in la. So they have that program where it's like your door guy. So you work the club. You work at the club, like seating people, being an usher, all that stuff.
B
Un believable.
C
Yeah. Or you're like valet and you park the cars and stuff and in exchange for that you get stage time. So that's their like mail room feeder program. That's how they like build up young comics. You work the club and those guys are the ones that end up featuring for the. Some big huge comics out there and those guys get passed around and that causes major rifts among the stars, among.
A
The notoriously thick skinned Los Angeles comedians.
B
Yeah. And I think that's been going on for like 20 plus years. Yeah, like I, I, there's, there was like, I remember hearing something about like Bobby Lee, like one person used him and then someone else used him. And there's like in, that's Bobby Lee.
C
When he was, when he was a.
B
Door guy at the store.
C
Wow, that's crazy. Yeah. Wow.
A
It was probably having an Asian was probably such a hot commodity at that time.
B
Big time.
A
Having someone that you could, you, did.
B
You like, did you like San Diego at least? So I know that area you were staying in is shitty, but did you get to explore?
A
Where'd you stay?
C
PB or downtown in the gas district? In downtown, basically. I mean I, there was so much that happened that would have been great for this episode if you know, we hadn't had to address the gigantic elephant in the room. But the, my hotel was a disaster.
B
Was it? Were you staying at the hotel that's directly next to the club? Yes, I stayed there.
C
That old place?
B
No.
C
Were you at the Moxie across the street?
B
Yes.
C
So that's a modern hotel. Yes, I was in a hotel that was built in depression era, of course America. And they have, I check in and the guy Goes, just so you know, not a big deal, but tomorrow there's going to be a mandatory emergency six hour blackout of all electricity in the hotel. And I go, I'm sorry, not a big deal. And he goes, well, look, I get it, you know, for people who, for people who are just staying one night, it's not that big of a deal. But for people who are here for multiple nights, I guess it was a little bit of a problem. And I'm like, I'm here for three nights. Nights?
B
Yeah.
C
You're talking to me?
B
Yeah.
C
You're telling me that for the majority of my day tomorrow, the hotel won't work. It's not gonna function. No lights, no Internet, no tv, no air conditioning.
B
Wait, why six hours?
C
What are you talking about? Yeah, like, are you rewiring the mainframe.
A
In first world America?
B
It's like they're building a new hotel.
C
Are you reallocating power to launch something like on this corner of town for the military? Anyway, so that was the first thing I was told. Then I got in the elevator and you get in the elevator and first of all, there were two elevators. One of them was under construction. It had been so for the past week. They told me, yeah, the one, the one working elevator, you click the button, it arrives, you have to open a door, and then there's the sliding black metal grate.
A
I'm out.
C
So it's a very, very old elevator, which is charming. And you're like, that's cool. And then you step in and there's a plaque on the wall that says, this elevator was built in 1913. At the time, these two elevators were the fastest elevators in the world. People would travel from near and far to come, ride the elevators and see how and marvel at how fast they were. Since then, the world has caught up in speed, but they remain the same. Yeah, and then you start moving up and you're like, fuck this elevator.
B
They do not remain the same.
C
They go so slowly.
A
Yeah.
C
And who would have thought?
B
115 years, dude.
C
My show on a Friday night was at 7:30. I'm one minute, not even 10 yards away from the entrance to the comedy. So show starts at 7:30. I get to the elevator at 7:20, thinking, like, I'll be eight minutes early. Yeah, I clicked the button. It took the elevator 15 minutes to come to my floor.
A
What floor?
C
The highest floor, the 11th floor. And you're like, surely it'll be here in a minute. Surely it'll be here in a minute. It's one working elevator and it's ferrying people up and down. Like it.
A
No wonder those travel nurses were so fucking drunk and angry at you. You were fucking.
C
Yeah.
A
Minutes late to the show.
C
They were pregaming in the elevator. So that was another nightmare. Then. You know, the. The windows had wooden slats on them that didn't make the room dark at all.
B
Oh, yeah, of course.
C
Then the storm windows. There were two air conditioning units in the windows and the one in my. I had like this tiny little suite type thing that had a semi adjacent, like 80 square foot living room, I guess you'd say.
B
Yeah, yeah.
C
And. And that room was the only room that had a working air conditioning unit. So the cold air did not pass necessarily into the bedroom.
B
Got it.
C
Which is the only place I cared.
B
For it to be cool, for it to be cold.
C
So after one night, I went to the front desk and said, would you honor please not charging for the remaining two nights? I'm leaving. And they said, oh, yeah, we can do that, but we want to know, like, what was wrong with your stay? And I was like, I think an easier question is what wasn't wrong with my stay? But again, I have this trait where, like, I can't really. I don't want to hurt their feelings about what.
B
Yeah.
C
Was wrong with this place they're proud of. So I was like, oh, you know, just the blackout for six hours today. Just. I have a lot of work to do.
A
So you just booked another.
C
I went and stayed at a different hotel nearby. Yeah, the U.S. grant. It was nice. That was a nice hotel.
A
Who's it named after?
B
U.S. grant Hill of the Detroit.
A
This is why you can't. This is why you. You need the first class. Like, you can't backslide.
C
No, I know.
A
You're on the hedonic trap.
C
And then you made that point when I was trying to offer that middle ground to Gaz, where I was like, I don't even need to fight. And you're like, wait a minute, you're not. Not out of it.
A
Yeah, I mean, I think you're. Honestly think you're not. Because everything with foreplay says it goes through their back end and that they pay for everything. And then your contract.
C
Yeah. I just don't know exactly. I don't understand what my contract stipulates because it says business class, and I don't know if that, like, translates to first class for all travel. But again, by the way, you know, I think as much as we joke about this, let's be clear about something. I don't need to Fly first class for flights to Chicago, things like that, blah, blah, blah. But when you're flying across the country for work and stuff like that, I don't know, it's nice to have a little.
A
We have to do a son of a boy dad trip to Ireland, and we need to be in first class for it.
C
Yeah, I'm down for that. I think we should fly first class, and Harry should fly middle seat, last row, limited recline. Smelling the bathroom.
A
Yeah, he should not be able to get any of the haggish that we're having in first class.
C
There you go. On Air Cunnilingus.
A
Is haggis Irish or is that Scottish?
C
I think it's both. Yeah, I know it's in Scotland, but I would bet that they have it in Ireland.
A
I can't. I can't do Scotland.
C
Why?
A
Are we too dreary?
C
Why are we going to Ireland?
A
It doesn't. That doesn't sound fun to you?
C
No, it's not that it doesn't sound fun.
A
We have six activities to fulfill. One of them will be going upstate. Another one of them will have a sleepover here. And that means we have four more activities to do.
C
Okay. Is there. What. So what is the. Do we have roots in Ireland or something? Do we have people over there? I. My. My roots are all England and Scotland, but I'm down. What's that?
A
Yeah, Tyler has some.
C
Tyler's got people in Ireland.
A
Any Irish roots? Part Irish?
B
No.
A
So we're not going to Ireland.
B
I would definitely go to Ireland.
A
All right.
B
Ireland trip back on Northern Northern Ireland looks sick.
A
Can we pick our six activities that we're gonna do? One of them is gonna be the upstate trip. Another one of them is gonna be sleepover at the office.
C
Yeah, we're doing that.
B
Find another location for that.
C
Well, I offered my place, but you guys said we. We needed the infrastructure of the cameras and stuff to actually stream it, which makes sense.
B
Yeah, it would probably make sense.
A
Do you. Do you have a way that we could stream it? Does technical SAS have a way that we could get out of this?
B
Can we definitely stream it from my place?
A
Sleepover at your apartment?
B
Yeah, I mean, it's just. It might be a little tight.
A
That's what I'm saying.
C
That's better.
B
At least there's no rats there.
C
Well, I was gonna say we will probably be sleeping on mattresses on the floor, and I'm worried about what will be scurrying across my torso at my place.
B
Yeah, no, my place is good. There isn't Anything so we can rig.
A
Your place with multiple cameras.
C
How much time do we have until they come back?
B
The mice?
C
Whatever rodent infestation you've dealt with.
B
I've got the amount of poison that I have, like you wouldn't even believe. When the second I even think that there might have been anything. Yeah, I have two gap. Two over. Over a gallon each. One of them is for roaches and one of them is for rodents.
C
You're gonna have federal agents at your door. Like, sir, we culled your receipts from various Home depots.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
We're worried you're crafting a bomb.
B
Yeah. What do you mean, pumps?
A
Are they in gallon containers?
B
They're in. It's in a g. It's like a roundup. It's like a gallon jug with a spray thing. And you walk around.
C
Oh, my God. You just spray your apartment like that.
B
It's four indoors, dude.
A
Can't open your windows.
B
I can open up all of my windows.
A
Or you don't open your windows.
B
I keep my windows open most of the day.
C
No, I don't believe.
B
Especially after a gassing.
C
That's not after a fumigation.
B
Usually I try to fumigate a little bit after.
A
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Because you're poisoning the air now.
B
It's mostly because it just smells bad. Like there's some. The. The rodent one is a little. It's like. It smells minty.
C
You like it?
B
No, it's bad.
C
You wear it on your neck for a day. Yeah.
A
Just two fingers of it.
C
Yeah. You don't want to overdo it.
B
No. The rodent one is. Mice and rats don't like the smell of mint. So it's very minty smelling. And that one can be a little bit overwhelming. The roach one has no smell and it kills them. When there is roaches, it kills them quick.
C
Okay. I don't. I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't want to do the sleepover at your apartment anymore.
B
No, it'll be good.
C
No, I. I will not. For my own health.
B
You must. You can sleep on the couch.
C
I don't want to sleep on the couch. I want to sleep on the floor. I want to put mattresses on the floor and have a proper sleepover.
A
Well, we're not even really gonna sleep. Like, we're gonna be streaming.
C
Yeah, that's true.
B
With. We're gonna sleep at some point. I'm not like a no sleep guy. I can't do that.
A
Well, just for the length of the stream. You don't Sleep. And then.
B
And then what? You sleep in the morning. Yeah, but what if you got to do. What if you gotta wait?
A
Schedule it so you don't have to do.
C
We'll stream until 3am which is your bedtime.
B
Oh yeah, 3am Is fine.
C
Maybe 4.
B
Yeah, that's fine.
A
We're not gonna be able to do it at your house.
B
Why?
A
Because the technical aspects of it aren't, brother. You're gonna have.
B
You're gonna have like 32 gigabytes of RAM. 570 ti super.
A
Camera.
B
What are we talking?
A
How wide is the camera?
B
I've got eight cameras.
A
Can they all link up to the same source?
B
Of course.
A
No, they can't.
B
Yes, they can. 32 gigabytes of RAM. Did you not hear me clearly the first time?
A
All right, so those are two of the things we'll do.
B
The many tasks I can take on.
A
I. I think that that would be really fun to do it at your apartment by doubt your abilities. And I hope you take my doubt as a fire lit.
B
I could. We could literally do it today.
A
Don't threaten me with a good time.
C
Why do you have eight cameras? What is that for?
B
No, I don't actually have eight cameras. I was exaggerating.
C
How many? Well, we can bring.
A
How many gigabytes of RAM do you have?
B
32 and I've got 16 on lay away in case I need it.
A
Bump it up to 48.
B
I'm gonna bump up to. I could bump up to 64 before we get. Before we get going on that. RAM is cheap.
C
Yeah, RAM may be cheap, but it sounds like it's a slippery slope.
B
It is. Yeah, but there's only four slots in my motherboard, so it doesn't matter. The most I could get is probably like 132.
C
Yeah, but you're gonna get there and then you're gonna want a bigger motherboard.
B
Well, I already do want it. That's my next thing.
C
There you go.
B
But the. Or not a bigger one. A better one, but more slots. More slots. Of course.
C
Yeah.
B
More USB slots. So that's probably my biggest hold up right now is the lack of USBs. I've only got like six.
A
Can't you just. That should be the easiest fix.
B
It's not.
A
Why?
B
Because if you want more USBs built in, then you got to replace the motherboard. And replacing the motherboard you got to replace. You got to take everything out and redo the whole thing.
A
You like that? Kind of though.
B
Yeah, I do, but I just did it it. And I don't want. I don't feel like doing it again.
A
All right, well, we won't have the stream there then.
B
Oh, no. We're ready to rip.
A
We're ready to get more USBs. We're ready to. Where are we gonna plug?
B
How many. How many PCs did Kai have when you were there? Just one PC?
A
Yeah, he had a different room of production.
C
Oh, wow.
B
So the PC is more for show.
A
He had like bespeckled Jewish guys running around behind the scenes.
B
That's crazy.
A
Fretting Jewish guys. So what's the other four things?
B
Oh, what are other four activities?
A
Four activities?
B
Well, fishing for sure.
A
Fishing is. That's the upstate one. That's the first one. So we already have two.
B
We got to do that soon. Oh, we're doing that in November.
A
We're doing it November 5th and 6th.
B
Hopefully the bite will still be active. We'll probably have to throw some eggs, which we can.
A
And we're gonna. That will come with. That will come with other pieces of content.
C
Yeah.
B
There's gonna be no draws.
C
A couple nymphs in there.
B
Gonna be Nymphs. Streamers.
A
7 videos.
B
Nymphs and streamers. On a slow retrieve.
C
Chernobyl ants.
B
When the water cools down, the. The fish's metabolism slows down and they get a lot less active. They're eating a lot less, but they're still eating.
C
They're still hunting.
B
They're still hunting, but it's just a lot less. You got to really.
A
They're lethargic.
B
Really got to thread the needle with that nymph. Get it right.
A
You gotta sprinkle some crack upstream.
C
Exactly.
B
Yeah.
A
A little.
B
What is it called? There's like a trout. Trout bait.
C
Something.
B
Super bait. Something like that. I don't know what it is.
A
The most talkative you get is when you're trying to avoid the questions that I'm asking.
B
No, I'm here. I keep forgetting. I'm just. So fishing is one and we're gonna.
A
Have seven videos that come out of that two day stretch.
B
Really?
A
Yes.
B
Okay.
A
Of different levels.
B
It's not seven videos.
A
Don't worry about those. I can get those seven videos figured out. They can be very simple.
B
I thought this is what we were figuring out right now.
C
No, no, no, no.
A
We're figuring out the six activities.
B
Well, I want to do another video game for sure. At least. But the thing is we just. I don't know which video game to do. So it's like we could do. I was saying smash.
C
We can do super Smash. Yeah.
A
That count as an activity. That could be one of the seven things we do at Francis's.
B
That's not an activity.
A
That's not one of our six activities for the year.
B
Smash.
A
Oh, Smash. Is a sub video on one of the activities.
C
Playing a video game for 45 minutes isn't. Isn't one of our things.
B
That sounds active.
A
I'm talking about tent poles. I'm talking about six tent poles throughout the year. Tent poles.
B
Like going somewhere.
A
Well, the. The sleepover doesn't have to be going somewhere. You literally don't have to leave your home.
B
True, true.
A
But it's extended. It's not just like one thing happens.
C
Paintball.
A
Paintball going. That's why I keep on saying going to Ireland. But I'm really just trying to use it as an excuse to go to Ireland.
C
Is there a gaming convention or something? Like a esports sort of? Yeah, Comic Con type thing?
A
Yeah. Austin. Yeah, the Mecca.
B
Hit the Mecca. I would be down to hit the Mecca.
A
Hit the Mecca. Do some time down at the Mecca.
B
I don't even want to do time. I just want to observe Barton Springs. Take it all in.
A
Go to Barton Springs.
C
I love Barton Springs.
B
I would be. I'd be down to go down to Austin.
A
Okay. Just three.
B
Just to. Just to. Just to watch, sit my ass down and listen.
A
Yeah, exactly.
B
Just to absorb, learn, Learn a thing or two.
C
Yeah.
B
Kill Tony. We'll do that.
A
That's part of the Austin, though. That can't be its own temple.
B
Bahamas.
A
It can't be.
C
Why you want to go bone fishing down in the Bahamas? Yeah.
A
Oh, Bahamas. Oh, I would love to go to the Bahamas.
B
It's only two hours away. We could do a little day trip.
C
Yeah, I really. I really see Dave green lighting our trip to the Bahamas, given how he feels about us.
B
Well, it sounds like we're good to go wherever we want. It's just we can't sit up front. Well, imagine like we could go to like, we could get a full trip to like Australia paid for. We just not going to be comfortable.
A
We're going to be wedged in there. Once you get there, it'll be nice. We should. What, what was the James Bond movie where they go to. They stay at that. The. The Ocean Club in the Bahamas.
C
Oh, that was the one. The first Daniel Craig one.
A
Yeah. We should do a shot by shot remake of the James Bond movie where he goes to the Ocean Club in the Bahamas.
C
Boy, that place was cool.
B
I would go to Ireland. No, I would go to Iceland. I would go Upstate.
A
I think one international would be sick, but I think we have to knock out all the other ones first to go. Proof of concept. Proof of concept. Proof of concept.
B
I think we international.
C
Yeah. What about somewhere like, you know, Antarctica?
A
That would be nice.
C
Ice tracking.
B
Is there anything to do in Antarctica?
C
I've always wondered that.
B
I think it's just like a big Russian military base there and that's it.
C
Well, okay. So I mean, I get that confused with. With the Arctic.
B
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
A
There's a place called North Pole Alaska, but that just seems like a bear to get to Philly. I'd love to host you guys in Philly, scumbag.
B
Immediately. Now.
C
Philly.
A
Have you riding the rails in Philly?
C
No. Let's go to that barstool bar and get bottle service. With the sun Gaza.
A
We could easily go to.
C
Keep the war going.
B
Not enough.
A
Cease the ceasefire.
B
Bring more.
A
We could go fill up the ye old ale house with sand.
B
Yeah, that would be fun. I would go to Alaska. Alaska would be sick.
A
All right. But I feel like that flies in the face of us being able to go to Ireland.
B
You think that's international?
A
The damn near once you leave the continental pnw.
B
We could go skiing on. On Mount. Mount. Was it Mount Wells in Oregon? Mount Hood?
C
No.
B
We could go ski that glacier in Oregon over the summer.
C
Do you have that type of skiing in you just ski a backcountry glacier?
B
It's not backcountry. It's like that's just their mountain. It takes a long time to get to, I think. But it's supposed to be sick.
C
These are pretty. We're shooting for the moon a little bit here. Let's keep it a little more local. As Roan said, proof of concept slap a sponsor on there, budget opens up.
A
Yeah, we have to nail proof of concept.
B
Yeah.
A
Before we know it, where the foreplay boys going to Havai Australian.
C
Yeah. One of the problems we have is that our scope of interest is very limited. So you know it. We're kind of like what would make sense as a con, as a continuation of what we talk about. And it's like fishing, video games, flights.
A
The finer things club, I think is we could really scratch the surface of that, though.
C
That's fair.
A
We like finer things. And if we turn that into content, that's nice.
C
You and I like finer things. Harry doesn't like other people having finer things.
A
But that's almost what plays like, you and me just liking nice things doesn't play for content. But you being A stick in the mud while we're doing that. That's nice.
B
True. I'm. We can go to like a. We could go to a Giants game.
A
Now you're talking.
B
We could go to. I was gonna say we could go to a Phillies game, but I forgot. They're out.
A
Well, this is all. This is throughout the next calendar year. So this all includes next summer.
B
You know, you go to an Eagles game, but they'll probably lose, so that wouldn't really be fun. Is there. Do Giants. Joe, Giants, Patriots play each other this year?
C
Let's go to that tailgate.
A
Yeah, tailgate.
B
Foxborough.
A
Maybe set up a tailgate.
C
Yeah.
A
Connect with the fans.
C
Bring a bunch of beers for me and around a bunch of weed brownies for you.
B
Yeah.
A
Let the travel nurses come.
B
Invite some travel nurses out.
A
Have them be able to speak their minds to us.
B
Yeah. Jawboning all day.
A
Something around the super bowl would be nice, too.
C
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
C
I've never been for the company.
B
Go to the Super Bowl. That could be cool.
A
I went last year.
B
Why don't we all go. Let's all go to the super bowl, all sit by ourselves, all record our separate POVs, slash interactions.
A
Stitch it together.
B
Stitch it together. And compare experiences and.
A
And compare it to. Yeah. Like whenever the NFL says, like. Like this cannot be redistributed, we redistribute it. Kind of fly in the face of Roger Goodell.
B
Yeah, let's pirate the Super Bowl.
A
That. Now you're talking. This is the kind of stuff that I've been begging for you to fucking pirate the Super Bowl. Or maybe we joined Francis in New Zealand. We skipped the holidays.
C
You guys already said Christmas is too important to you.
B
Yeah, I don't know if I can skip.
C
My trip is really shaping up. I'll tell you what. I got some cool stuff booked. I will say I'm struggling a little bit to bring it all the way home because I did not realize this. This is the busiest time of the year to visit New Zealand.
B
Oh, yeah.
C
Is peak tourism summer.
B
Yeah.
C
It really couldn't. So hotels are fucking expensive and. Booked, booked, booked. Book already. Yeah, man.
B
That's insane.
C
Everything is booked.
B
What about if we did a. What if we did. What if we went and we. We fished and camped in Pennsylvania. Central pa. And then we went to a Penn State game the next day.
A
I love that.
B
Fresh. Fresh out of the tent.
A
I love that. But that's like. There's like two Penn State games left. I like that you're thinking these ideas, but you're also thinking fall and winter exclusive ideas.
B
Pretty much, yeah. Oh, you're thinking the net. You're thinking the whole year.
A
I'm thinking over the. I'm thinking six things throughout the entire year. But I love the idea of going to a state game. And tickets are probably gonna be fucking free now.
B
Yeah. Cuz they're fucking awful.
A
They suck buns.
B
Pedophile organization.
A
What the fuck? What the hell? But I like where your head's at. We don't need to figure it all out right now.
B
But I would definitely get out to stage.
A
See, that's where you were treated like a God.
B
That's when you still have my prime. That was my prime.
C
I have to be.
B
I peaked at state. It's all downhill from there.
A
We have to make some shirts. Actually, we do have merch coming out.
B
Yeah, we're gonna do some merch. What about.
A
Christmas?
B
Oh yeah. We should do something for Christmas.
A
Or Hanukkah.
B
Or both. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa. Include all of our followers.
A
What time is it right now?
B
It's like 12:30.
A
12:30. Cool.
B
We can end it if you want.
A
No, I actually have a meeting for this 12 hour stream that I'm doing and I will be including you in that as well.
B
Got it. When is that?
A
On October 30th. Thursday.
B
Should be around.
A
We'll move it if you're not.
B
Should be. Should be available.
A
We'll move it to whenever you're around.
B
I should be available for those dates.
C
All right.
A
How did. How did this episode go compared to how you thought it would?
B
I went how I expected it to.
A
What you. What were your thoughts coming in, Take.
B
My lashings, try and get out whole.
A
I think you should have cried. No, I think that that would have made it way. Like people would have been on your side way harder if you cried.
B
Yeah, probably. But I wish. I wish I could force a cry, but I can't.
A
Were you close?
B
No.
A
Come on, bro.
B
I don't cry. Ever.
A
That's not true.
C
It's.
B
It is.
A
I've seen you cry.
B
You've never seen me cry in a million years.
A
That one time I've known. I've been around you when you were just crying.
B
Never. I've never been close to tears.
A
I've heard you on the other side of a door crying.
B
No, never. Yeah, In a million years.
A
And you were wailing.
B
No, no.
A
Yeah, like you were in Hartford.
B
Why?
A
He did. I remember. I'm not going to say too much when, but early on you cried heavy.
B
It is Pretty crazy, though. Like, I haven't had a lot of people really mad at me like that in a while. And it's.
A
What do you mean, in a while?
B
What do you mean?
A
When was the last time a lot of people were mad at you?
B
I feel like when I was on.
A
The Yak, I would like for a.
B
Case race, say or do something, and people would get mad at me. This was like, every time I opened my phone, I'd be like, wow, Whoa. That is mean.
A
People would. People were going ad hominem, but, but fans.
C
Really? Not, not like, yeah. Or were there people among the.
B
I think it's a, I think it was a good amount of, like, Dave, guys.
C
Yeah.
A
I saw people being like, yeah, and his hair's greasy. I was like, what does that have.
B
To do People, they were, they were, they were stacking personal. Yeah. And he sucks at cod.
C
Yeah.
B
Come on, guys.
A

Podcast by Barstool Sports – Released October 14, 2025
This episode of Son of a Boy Dad tackles a major turning point for the show and its hosts. In the wake of Lil Sasquatch's (Sass) mishap involving the company’s coveted “first class” travel list, the episode becomes a roving group therapy session. Rone and producer Francis are both affected by the fallout, and the trio confronts accountability, friendship, ambition, and podcast direction—all with typical irreverence and inside-joke-laden banter. Amid the fallout, they also brainstorm future podcast plans, riff on comedy road stories, and trash-talk football, seamlessly blending drama, humor, and behind-the-scenes Barstool chaos.
Major theme: Actions, Consequences, and Apologies
Meta-discussion on show’s future, professionalism, and team buy-in
Francis and Sass trade stand-up war stories; professionalism gets tested
Brainstorming six “tentpole” events & new directions
Inside baseball on comedian-featured acts and “poaching” features
Lighthearted sports talk, travel mishaps, and classic Son of a Boy Dad asides
Meta-jokes about their low-tech, “over-RAM’d” production
This episode exemplifies everything Son of a Boy Dad does best: mixing brutal inside-the-industry honesty with absurdist humor and raw friendship. The “first class list” controversy frames the core themes of accountability, loyalty, and ambition at Barstool, giving listeners a candid peek into the stakes of modern media personalities. Along the way, the hosts’ comedic riffing, tales of road mishaps, and big dreams for the podcast’s future build a world where irreverence and vulnerability coexist. If you want both laughs and a masterclass in how to be transparent (and mess up loudly) on the internet, this is the episode for you.
