Hey, guys, it's Francis. Look, life moves fast. Dating is a tough thing to find time for and to be intentional about. At least so I thought, until I found the League. I've found that the people I've met on the League are people I really have a lot more in common with than the people you typically find when you're just aimlessly swiping and scrolling on other dating apps instead of endless searching. I get a curated batch of profiles each day. There's less noise, less back and forth, less flakiness. These are just people I'd actually want to meet, have a conversation with, have a meal with, spend real time with, create that meaningful connection. Join me on the League, download the app and apply today. Okay, I have a lot going on, so I need my money stuff to be easy. That's why I use Acorns. It saves and invests my money without me thinking about it.

Harry
let's start recording. This would be. This would be funny on the podcast,
Francis
on this fucking close.
Roan
They definitely won't be.
Francis
That will be the dagger that I put in my own neck. I'm telling you right now.
Roan
I'm telling you, they won't be the same numbers.
Francis
The numbers are higher on the frameless podcast.
Harry
No, the funny thing that you said was that we're like. I'm sure that you and Sass have some catching up to do.
Francis
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The fact.
Harry
The idea that we're gonna, like, catch up while you're not here.
Francis
Well, it's been a long time since we did an episode of the Pod. That was the original cast.
Harry
Yeah, well, we don't have catching up.
Roan
We don't have shit. That was the whole reason that we added you to the show. It's because we have nothing to talk about.
Harry
We're fully caught up. Trust me.
Francis
All right.
Roan
Should we get into it?
Harry
Let's ass. Did a hamstring workout today.
Roan
Whoa. My hams. My hammies are in bad shape.
Harry
If you're here. Violin.
Roan
Yeah. Literally.
Francis
I'm concerned about you. Imagine. Imagine what would happen to Harry if he tore hamstring.
Roan
That's what it felt like.
Francis
And I'm talking through.
Roan
Yeah, that's what it felt like today.
Francis
Like they're going to have to pull.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
Back together.
Harry
Yeah. That would be so bad.
Roan
They're tight.
Harry
He's got his first deadlift. He felt. He felt the pop.
Francis
Deadlifting.
Roan
Well, I did a deadlift with the hex bar, which is not really.
Francis
That's a. That's real.
Roan
Yeah, but it's easy. I feel like it's easy to have good form with that.
Francis
Okay. What do you mean?
Roan
Well, I would never do. It's not straight barbell deadlift.
Francis
Fine. I think that's fair. I'm just saying that, like, what you're. You're trying. You're minimizing that lift. And I think that that's a. That's a good lift.
Roan
The heck.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
I love doing that.
Harry
45s.
Francis
So 1 35.
Roan
5.
Francis
Great.
Roan
Didn't feel great.
Francis
How many. How many did you do?
Roan
I did three sets of eight.
Francis
Great.
Roan
Well, that was the goal.
Harry
He said it sounded like a car backfiring every time he bent over.
Francis
Oh, man. Your back is going to hurt.
Roan
No, it wasn't the back. Because I do good form. Because I don't want to hurt my back.
Francis
Yeah, don't round. Don't round.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
How do you not round? Because your back is.
Roan
Is round.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
You stick your ass out as far as far as you can.
Francis
Your back looks like a high lie stick.
Harry
Yeah, but it's a question mark.
Roan
My back rounds in. In an area that no one else's back rounds. It's not the lower back that's rounding. It's the upper back. But I did like. I did the treadmill. And then I was like, I'm. The gym was empty, so I was like, I'm gonna do some deadlifts.
Francis
Nice.
Roan
And I did the first set, and I did like eight. And I did it pretty quick. It was easy. Then I put it down and I was like, that was easy. And then, like, within four seconds, it was like. It was like someone took an ice pick to the back of my ass. Like, just two straight in my Hamstrings. And I had to just like slowly walk around for like 10 minutes and be like, oh, that doesn't feel.
Harry
But he won't stretch. He's refusing to stretch. Yeah, he's got to stretch.
Francis
Did you stretch before you did it?
Roan
No.
Harry
Oh, so dumb. At least, I mean, at least getting out there, this is.
Francis
And I don't. I mean this sincerely and in a non condescending or patronizing way.
Roan
Of course.
Francis
This is the difference in being 36, 37.
Roan
Oh, yeah.
Francis
To 24. Is stretching.
Roan
Yeah. No, I don't stretch ever.
Francis
Yeah. I don't know how much stretching I did when I was your age. I didn't care about it that much. Now it's more important than the stuff I do in the gym.
Roan
Yeah, that's what everyone says. Roan does. Like, don't you do like an hour of stretching a day?
Harry
I had an app and I was on a 230 day streak and I fucking, I lapsed. I like, woke up in the middle. I Woke up at 12:15. I was like, I didn't stretch. I logged onto the app and the streak was gone. Oh, yeah.
Francis
Oh, no.
Harry
Disappointing, dude. I. That was so nasty. But I love it. I mean, it's. It is the best.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Being limber. I still feel like I'm not limber.
Roan
Yeah, I, I. The hammies are definitely feeling tight. Was able to power through the rest of the set, though. Thank God.
Francis
I need you to give us a clap.
Roan
Oh, yeah, I didn't even.
Harry
So you look. You lifted too. You got a workout in.
Francis
I'm sorry, what is it? What's happening here?
Roan
All right, welcome back to the Son of a Boy podcast. It's. What is it? March 3rd.
Francis
Mine says February 26th. That's a little while.
Roan
I think that's off.
Francis
That is off.
Roan
I think it's the third. I don't have my phone.
Harry
It's got to be the fourth.
Roan
I left it at home today.
Francis
We're not going to worry about it, right? We're not going to worry about that.
Roan
I think it's March 3rd. It's. It's Tuesday of this week.
Harry
Oh, my is dead.
Roan
Yeah, mine was dead too.
Harry
That is crazy. Whatever time this is 303.
Roan
Is it 303?
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Not bad.
Roan
Okay. It's three. It's 303pm we're live from HQ3. Just talking. Just talking shop talking lift talking our bodies.
Harry
Talking male body positivity.
Roan
Yeah, exactly.
Harry
Nothing wrong with it.
Roan
Nothing wrong with it.
Harry
Nothing wrong with vanity lifting either. That's the only way you can be lifting, you got to put 45s on each side of that thing no matter what.
Roan
No, no, you're never going to do it. I'll just do one set of one if I have to.
Francis
I got a good lift for you, though, but you're gonna have to work up to it.
Roan
I'm not. Let me. Like, this is. I'll give you the breakdown of my gym, my gym schedule, because this is the most consistent I've been in years.
Francis
Great.
Roan
I just go and I just do whatever. Like, I'll do what I told. I was telling Nate about it downstairs because the gym's always crowded, so it's like you can't even have a plan when you're going in. You just go based on whatever people aren't using. You're like, okay, I guess I'm doing that today. So today was the first day I've had, like, an actual, like, full on. Okay. I'm gonna do, like, back and biceps and of course, deadlifting, which plays into both of those. And, yeah, productive. But I. I go in, and I really just, you know, hit a couple lifts, get some cardio going, and I'm out.
Francis
I love it. I have no problem with that.
Harry
What's the workout that you want to put him on?
Francis
So I usually try to do a descending ladder of alternating. If you're hex bar deadlifts, where I do jumping deadlifts and sort of, I guess, static deadlifts. So I'll do. You're in the hex bar. You go one.
Roan
There goes my knees back. They're going backwards too.
Francis
Five of those, and then you just do five sort of regular. And then you do four. Jumping four regular. Three jumping three regular. Two, jumping two regular. One, one.
Roan
I don't hate it. I will say I literally don't think I could do that with just the bar.
Francis
I do. You do that, and you try to do it without putting the bar down.
Roan
Like, never, never touch the ground.
Francis
Don't take a break. Get all the way through.
Roan
I like that.
Francis
Five all the way down to one and do three sets. The. The five. The number five. Like, the fives are tough. Five. The jumping deadlifts, very hard, very difficult.
Roan
That's where I'm getting a little nervous.
Francis
But it's how you work on explosive movements. Like, if you're trying to explode.
Roan
I'm trying to explode.
Harry
Which you do look explosive.
Francis
I need to. Sometimes I'm like, oh, yeah, no, I need my explo.
Roan
That's why I'm in The gym at all is to get my explosive energy up.
Francis
I have to sprint up this staircase right now.
Roan
Ye.
Harry
You haven't felt explosive? Honestly, I haven't felt explosive. You haven't seemed it.
Roan
No, no, not right now. I'm the opposite. That's the thing is, like, I don't really under. Like the gym is good. But like, like, if I'm going to the gym, like, what is the reason that anyone goes to the gym?
Harry
Exploding.
Roan
To explode.
Francis
Exploding.
Roan
And to hopefully be able to defend yourself when you need to.
Francis
Which is why I never understood that famous pre workout. The. The. No explode.
Roan
No explode.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
What are we talking about?
Francis
I'm not gonna have that. Yeah, very obvious.
Roan
I'm trying to blow up right now.
Harry
Yes. Explode.
Roan
But if I were to go, like, if I were to get jacked and then I were. Say you go to the gym like five, six days a week and then you get in a physical altercation. I'm going to be sore as hell. My. My muscles are going to be jello.
Harry
I've been scared of that before.
Roan
Like, isn't that a major concern that, like, I know.
Harry
Explosiveness if I get attacked.
Roan
Exactly.
Francis
Please don't come at me. I'm filled with lactic acid.
Roan
Exactly, exactly that. Like, right now I am the least explosive anyone be. I'm having a hard time staying awake right now because I went to the gym. So how am I supposed to defend myself in an altercation?
Harry
Sometimes it'd be hard to even escape.
Roan
Yes.
Harry
Like if there's like, oh, somebody came in shooting the shit.
Roan
Oh, no. Yeah, exactly.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
I'm waddling down the street.
Francis
I got a weird feeling somewhere down the line you're going to get into jiu jitsu or something.
Roan
No.
Francis
I think that you're going to get to a point where you're like, whoa, I'm dying.
Roan
No, no, no.
Francis
I need to do something sass, Gracie. I need to do something cultish to really turn things around. Roll. And you're going to.
Roan
I'm not rolling.
Francis
You're going to dedicate yourself to it.
Harry
I continue rolling.
Roan
I don't have that in.
Francis
You're going to have a doctor's appointment in like five years where they're like, oh, my God.
Roan
No, no, no.
Francis
Oh my. You're 29.
Harry
He's got cobwebs in there.
Francis
You have the inner organs of a now 97 year old.
Roan
Like, I'm. I mean, I don't. I haven't really spoke about it much, but I'm on like a health journey. Like you couldn't even imagine.
Harry
Couldn't imagine.
Roan
Quit vaping again. Eating a lot of salads.
Francis
You know what they say about quitting vaping. It's how many times you do it.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
Not for how long.
Roan
Exactly.
Harry
Matters. Exactly.
Roan
Back on the pouches. Feeling good. You look good and healthy.
Francis
You look a lot better than I do. I look like hell.
Harry
No, you don't.
Francis
I look like hell.
Harry
Because you have a light shadow. Because you have a three o' clock shadow.
Roan
Why?
Harry
What are you. What are you saying? You look like hell.
Francis
I have. I just been under an enormous amount of pressure. Enormous amount of stress.
Roan
You know what helps with that? Vaping.
Francis
I like that.
Harry
No, that will give you the craziest anxiety. After you're done vaping.
Francis
I tried to start vaping again.
Roan
It would be so funny if Francis got into vaping.
Francis
Oh, I'd love it.
Roan
Like the most off brand thing imaginable.
Francis
Just.
Roan
Yeah. Sucking on a geek bar.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Like a fat one. A really thick one.
Francis
I'm one of those people where. And I've met a couple other people like this, both vaping and cigarettes. I could never even get through one hit or two.
Roan
Yeah, well, that's the thing. You gotta push through.
Francis
Felt like I was being punched in the lung.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
And it made just coughing hard immediately. I never got that like smooth breakthrough
Roan
that everyone doesn't make you cough.
Francis
Not at all.
Roan
That's crazy.
Francis
I mean, if I take a gigantic.
Harry
Right. Like a ginormous dinosaur hit.
Francis
If I'm going bongs away.
Roan
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Harry
Yeah, yeah. Really ripping it.
Francis
Mickey Glazer's over.
Roan
He's coming over.
Francis
I'm going.
Roan
Yeah, you're gonna cough.
Francis
I'm gonna cough.
Roan
That's gonna be. That's expected.
Francis
I want to impress her. I want her to know.
Harry
But cigarettes. What about when you're drunk, though? No, never. You never got a little bit like dizzy from it?
Roan
I never.
Francis
Cigarettes, I've had that sort of nicotine sort of effect of. Of lighting the fuse even more for. For drinking. But it was only ever from, you know, Lucy's or like whatever other other nicotine products. Not cigarettes. I couldn't.
Roan
Cigarettes I never really got into.
Harry
And I did.
Francis
But it was the same feeling from cigarettes as vaping.
Roan
Yeah, but when you. When you smoke a cigarette, even if you. Even if you brush your teeth, you wake up the next day and you're like, I smoked a cigarette last night and I can still taste it.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
You're like skin on your philtrum smells.
Francis
But that's what that's what cigars are like too. And weirdly, I am quite fond of cigars.
Roan
Well, that's everyone else.
Harry
I feel like last couple times I brought a cigar in here, I couldn't get a man to smoke one.
Francis
Cigars.
Roan
I like smoking cigar. Like when I go fishing, they need
Francis
to be on my terms. Yeah. I don't like to be surprised by cigars.
Roan
Oh, no one does.
Francis
I don't like to be mouth unconsensually with a cigar especially.
Roan
Yeah. I mean, like, I like smoking a cigar when we're recording, but I don't. It's not my preferred way of recording.
Francis
Do you know why I was a little tardy today? Yeah.
Roan
Didn't you have an appointment or some shit?
Francis
No, no, he did.
Harry
I had an appointment. He was tardy for a different reason.
Francis
I was tardy because my cleaning lady arrived and I was about to go out the door and she started admiring my coffee machine.
Roan
Oh, yeah, well.
Francis
And I said, do you drink coffee?
Roan
So the fellow said, wait, yes.
Francis
And I said, do you drink espresso drinks?
Harry
She's probably from where the beans are from.
Francis
Yes, she's from Poland.
Harry
Do they have good coffee?
Francis
I don't think they have beans. I think they just like have ancient grounds and ammunition tins from the Soviet era.
Harry
Potatoes.
Francis
Yeah, they just. Just make coffee out of like the ashes of dead relatives.
Harry
You want sausage? Coffee. So you.
Roan
You made her a cup?
Francis
So I made her a coffee.
Roan
Did she like it?
Francis
She couldn't. It was. She said. And I. I know she's telling the truth because I don't think she can. I don't think from Poland you can. They never learned it.
Harry
Yeah, they're too dumb.
Francis
They never learned it. They. That was against. They would get shot. They'd. Firing squad. Of course, if you lie.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
And she said, this is the best coffee I have ever had.
Roan
Really?
Francis
Yeah, I believe it. She said, normally I just drink from Starbucks, but even then it's not. It's not good.
Roan
No, it's not.
Francis
And then I said, because I made her a proper latte.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
But I didn't tell her that I made it with pistachio milk, which was the only milk I had left. I'm not even kidding you.
Harry
You can't even offer that to a Polish woman.
Francis
I'm experimenting with. I kept the label away from her.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
I told her it wasn't. I told her it wasn't dairy milk. But I was like, it's. It's oat milk. Wasn't. It was pistachio and it's almost brown. It looks like sealing cloth.
Roan
Pistachio milk is crazy.
Harry
It's insane.
Francis
Tough to steam, tough to texture. My latte art was not good.
Harry
Why pistachio milk?
Francis
I'm just trying all different types of milk to find the one that I think is really good. It's.
Roan
What do you. What, it wouldn't give us your top three. Right.
Francis
Easy. I don't drink dairy milk, which is tough because whole milk is the easiest milk to texture and the best. Yeah, I wish I did.
Harry
It's going to. It's the best tasting with a latte, I think.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
Yeah. But why are you anti dairy milk?
Francis
I've just. I've been. When I was a child, I was quite lactose.
Roan
Oh, okay. What about, like, raw milk?

Francis
Why are you saying it like the revolutionary force in Ireland?
Roan
You should start making your lattes with. With raw milk. Be hilarious. Raw. What am I? Am I not. Not pronouncing it right?
Harry
You're leaving the W out.
Francis
Raw.
Roan
Yeah, that's what just said Raw.
Harry
Like up the Raw.
Roan
Raw.
Harry
I'm on raw. St. Brown.
Roan
I'm on raw. St. Brown.
Harry
I'm on raw. St. Brown.
Roan
I'm on raw. St dot brown.
Harry
Yeah, you're saying raw the same as raw.
Roan
That's how it's pronounced.
Francis
Raw.
Roan
Raw.
Francis
Raw. You're both.
Harry
No, that's row.
Francis
That's how you would say it.
Roan
This is raw.
Francis
You'd say row.
Roan
That's how it is pronounced.
Harry
You guys, can you differentiate Ra and raw?
Roan
Yeah. You guys are saying ra.
Harry
Just say both of them.
Roan
Like ra.
Harry
Say both.
Roan
It's actually rad.
Harry
Say both of them next to each other. Ra and Raw.
Roan
Ra. Ra.
Harry
You're saying like a long A. I
Roan
feel bad for you guys. It's all right, though. We can move on. We can move past it.
Francis
Yeah, we should.
Harry
He should try Ra Milk. But anyways, Raz was unpasteurized.
Roan
Yeah, cool.
Francis
I bet that's great.
Harry
Can't be. Cannot be.
Roan
It's disgusting.
Francis
Oh, really? Doesn't taste good.
Roan
Never had it.
Harry
That's like drinking a Guinness off the tap.
Roan
Yeah, it's. It's thick.
Harry
You can't do that.
Roan
It's like paint.
Harry
Did you try goat?
Francis
No. Oat. I've had oat is what I really do rely on the most.
Harry
Not almond.
Francis
Almond. I. I can't. Almond's impossible to texture because it's like water. So thin.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah. It's so watery.
Harry
And your own pistachio.
Francis
Well, I bought that because they had a barista edition. And so anything that has a barista edition, I want to try.
Roan
What is barista?
Francis
It's milk specifically made for texturing. What do you mean? What. What kind of a question is that? What? It's in the title.
Roan
Barista.
Francis
The barista edition? Yeah.
Harry
Like a bar. Somebody that makes coffee. A barista.
Roan
We had a. When I was in middle school, we had, like, a fundraiser for diabetes, like a food drive or some. Which is weird because I'm pretty sure they already found the cure for that. But the.
Harry
It was just the diabetics putting.
Roan
I don't know what we were fundraising for, But the principal came over and did the announcements, and he kept on calling it diabetes. Have you guys ever heard people say that?
Harry
Yes.
Francis
Yes.
Harry
It's like a Pittsburgh way to say.
Roan
Yeah. He's like, we're doing a fundraiser for diabetics. And everyone was like, what the Is diabetes?
Harry
I do remember diet.
Francis
What happens when Jerome Bettis retired and lost a ton of weight?
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
Diet.
Francis
Diet.
Harry
Yeah. Damn. I got it. Well, you really got to get over for a cup of that coffee.
Roan
I do.
Harry
Are there other nuts that have been made into milk?
Francis
Probably macadamia, and they call it milkademia.
Harry
That sounds.
Francis
I think that's going to be quite good.
Roan
You should start getting into, like. Have you ever seen people make their own almond milk?
Francis
No. That's a bridge too far.
Harry
Not for you.
Roan
You could probably make it a little thicker if you wanted to.
Francis
That's a bridge too far. Cashew milk is supposed to be good. Is it creamy? Yeah.
Harry
I think I heard there's only, like, six almonds in a half gallon of almond milk. There's, like, a shocking low amount. Maybe it's not exactly 6Mac. Maybe we could check that. How many almonds are in that almond milk?
Francis
I thought it was the other way around. I thought it was like, a billion almonds yield 1 cup of almond milk.
Harry
I think it's the Other way. I think it's like. There's no. There's like, not that many almonds. Oh, four almonds, you know. In what container? What size container? An eight ounce glass.
Francis
Oh, God.
Roan
So it's just not almond milk.
Francis
What else?
Harry
It's water.
Roan
Yeah, there's gotta. That's not even.
Harry
It's white water.
Francis
What else is in there?
Roan
It's just water.
Francis
Water.
Harry
Water. White coloring.
Roan
You can dry yourself. So it's got to just be water and almonds. That's disgusting.
Harry
You could definitely thicken that if you just put. It's just. It's just water.
Roan
That's disgusting. I'm never drinking that again.
Harry
Well, what do you think the rest of it is?
Roan
Powdered milk.
Harry
But I'm saying. What do you think that macadamia milk is? Macadamians and almonds.
Roan
Macadamia, Yeah.
Harry
I think that you could probably make a nice thick one or like a almond ice cream. Almond heavy cream.
Roan
Because that's probably what it is. They're probably not. They're probably only using four almonds to save money. Because almonds, obviously, they're insanely expensive right now with AI and everything, but so if they. You could probably make your own and use like 700 almonds, then you get some thick almond milk.
Francis
Yeah, that's good.
Harry
There's a paste. A nice paste. It look like cottage cheese.
Roan
Yeah, it looks like a fucking sourdough starter.
Francis
Well, you guys know. You guys know what day it is?
Harry
Do I give day?
Francis
It's present Tuesday.
Roan
Oh, wow. Yeah.
Francis
We always do presents on Tuesdays, Bass. It. It's tradition on the podcast. We do present Tuesdays.
Harry
Yes.
Francis
And I actually have a two part gift.
Roan
Great.
Francis
And I'm gonna give one part to you and one part to you.
Roan
Awesome.
Francis
But the gift doesn't work unless you two.
Harry
It's like a Horcrux share. We have to put, like the.
Francis
Put your two things.
Harry
Infinity stone.
Francis
So why don't you guys just. If you wouldn't mind closing my eyes. Would that be all right? No. Put out your hands, Harry. No. I'm gonna need you to put out your hands and close your eyes.
Roan
How am I supposed to close them without my hands?
Harry
He's right. This is a fallacy.
Francis
You can't close your eyes and hold out your hands. All right, Here you go. Ready?
Roan
I don't like having my eyes closed.
Francis
That's for you. And that's for you.
Roan
Can I. Or I already have.
Francis
You can open your eyes.
Roan
Oh, hell yeah.
Harry
Whoa.
Francis
Yeah. So this is a Kevin Stevens Bobblehead that did not make it here in one piece.
Roan
So which Stevens is this? Is this my Stevens or yours?
Francis
Yes, your Stevens. You see, my Stevens knocked his head off.
Roan
That's crazy.
Harry
Look at the schnoz on this Stevens.
Roan
Let me see.
Francis
I feel really bad. This guy had one of these and he sent it to me. Broke in transit.
Harry
Did it. It wasn't your. It wasn't your fault, right?
Francis
No. I opened the box and it was like.
Roan
Who sent it to you? Kevin Stevens?
Francis
No, no, dude. For what it's worth, when I was in Pittsburgh, I went to six different stores looking for a Kevin Stevens jersey for you.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
And nobody had one.
Harry
Gotta get that off. Fanatics. They were like crumpled up piece of fucking.
Francis
All we got is Lemieux. Crosby. I can't do it. Jager. And if Jenny Malkin. Yeah, Malkin.
Harry
This flurry.
Francis
This is.
Harry
Yeah. That's so nice. That's such a good gift. I had some fucking.
Roan
This is almost like a war crime of some sort.
Francis
We'll put it. I don't know what to do it. Maybe we can super glue it. Maybe we can glue it.
Harry
You know. Who will know what to do with this? Frank the Tank. He's probably.
Roan
He's probably got a repair guy.
Harry
He's probably bit the top off. He probably has access to the guy from Toy Story 2 that fixes Woody.
Francis
I don't really. I'm sad about it. I was excited for you to have this. Those are hard to find, I would think.
Harry
Let's put it on the count. Let's put on the table.
Francis
Yeah, put it on the table.
Roan
I'm trying to balance it properly.
Harry
You should be able to. If you have any feng shui, you should be able to balance that. If you've ever done tai chi, you should be able to balance that. What a great gift.
Francis
It was a great gift, but still,
Harry
it's better this way. We wouldn't. We wouldn't be able to.
Francis
Oh, well done, Harry.
Roan
It should be a pretty easy fix. I mean, it already is fixed.
Francis
Yeah. We'll never do anything more.
Harry
And so now if we have guests and they knock it over, we'll blame them.
Roan
We'll make them feel bad.
Francis
Oh, that's a tough one to find. Good luck.
Roan
Well, if you want to replace the Kevin Stevens bobblehead, be our guest.
Harry
One of one. Bobblehead. Did you guys see that? It's hilarious. The guys from Spitting Chiclets were taking some shots. Back at you, Sass.
Roan
I did not know.
Harry
I think they were. They. They basically have you on pigeon status?
Roan
What were they saying we were on?
Francis
Son of a boy, dad.
Roan
Great, guys.
Harry
Sass turns out to be the biggest
Francis
scumbag of anyone because. No, he said he loved you. He said. He said he was a big Whitney.
Roan
Yeah, but I love Sass too.
Francis
But in. In. In the. In the sense of the argument or the discussion, Sass said he will never let anyone cut him.
Harry
So if you're.
Francis
If you're somebody like me, that's like, I'm gonna miss my fight. Now, granted, I ended up in the Delta Lounge. That was the tough part of the story. He's like, no. All I could think of was him telling your dad wit that he can't go by in. What would ensue after the fact would
Roan
be life altering for sass.
Francis
Dan Whitney, 25 years ago, he's probably like, headlocking the kid in the middle of the airport and like, they're rolling around like, wrestling pinkies up. But nowadays my dad would say, hey, you know what? I understand.
Harry
And.
Roan
And I get it.
Harry
And with old age comes peace of
Francis
mind and maybe realizing that this little gamer slash comedian slash. How else would you describe.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
Did you say commuter?
Roan
Yeah, non first class flyer.
Harry
Hey, you're a pigeon.
Roan
That's crazy.
Harry
That you're a shitster and that you were the main one going at Whitney and that he loved that he loves us, the two of us.
Roan
Well, I wasn't going at Whitney.
Harry
He wanted his head on.
Roan
That wasn't a personal attack.
Francis
What are you talking.
Roan
Agreeing with what he did at the airport.
Harry
You said he was a scumbag.
Roan
But I also said before multiple times, I was like. And you know, I have nothing but respect for Whitney, which makes a low life.
Francis
When you were like, that's crazy because I respect him, but.
Roan
Exactly.
Francis
Which almost makes it seem to me, it's worse.
Harry
So, like, when people will always be like, hey, I like the guy. I'm a fan of his before they absolutely sewer him. That happens on a lot of podcasts here.
Francis
I consider him to be a good person.
Harry
Yes. I consider him a good friend.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
When people say that.
Francis
So for him to have done that is so out of character.
Roan
I would consider. I would consider Whitney to be a friend.
Harry
And then he said that if this had happened 20 years ago, his dad would have put you in a headlock in the line.
Roan
Really?
Harry
His dad would have put you in a headlock 20 years ago?
Roan
Why would he be putting me in a headlock?
Harry
Because you. If you said, no, you can't pass, he would have Put you in a headlock.
Roan
Yeah. And then we would have gone to court and I would have sued him and won.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
Put someone in a headlock for 20 years ago.
Harry
Twenty years ago, you could. That's what happened in this country.
Roan
That was post 9 11. 20 years.
Francis
I know.
Harry
That's what I'm saying. Right after 9 11, you could be like, he's a terrorist. He's wearing a turban.
Roan
I. I will say, while we're on the topic of terrorism, with the war obviously going on.
Harry
Yes, of course. Obviously.
Roan
I don't, like. I'm not a paranoid person typically, but I'm on the subway these last couple days. My eyes are bouncing. I'm looking at everybody giving them a full ocular. Does he have an explosive attached to his chest right now?
Francis
Since when do you go on the subway?
Roan
I take it here and back every day.
Harry
The one train.
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
To what stop?
Roan
Don't worry about it.
Francis
Christopher Street. No, you go to Houston.
Roan
Don't worry about where I'm going.
Francis
You're going to Christopher.
Roan
Don't worry about where I'm going.
Francis
Obviously, we know you're going to.
Roan
I don't need the sleeper cells finding my info.
Francis
Well, Christopher is a lot closer to you than Houston.
Roan
Oh, I like to walk.
Francis
You also take an Uber. Every time I ever walk out of
Roan
the office with you, maybe I'm going somewhere else.
Harry
Oh, in the same direction I bounce. Yeah, you always do.
Roan
But I do take the train.
Harry
Have you detected any bogeys out there? Any potential.
Roan
Couple false flags.
Francis
I started watching neighbors. Oh, yeah, you guys were right.
Roan
It's hilarious.
Francis
So funny the way that such different groups of people in such different parts of the country throw the word liberal around as the worst insult that you can call someone. He's a liberal. Yeah, he's liberal.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
That's liberal behavior.
Harry
It's so nice.
Francis
Nothing to do.
Harry
And then how the people always wind up having, like, very similar interests. That's just like, they. They would be best of friends.
Roan
Well, there's a lot of them and that are. They were good friends.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Have you. Did you watch every episode or just the first?
Francis
Just one.
Roan
Well, there's only three.
Francis
What?
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
Will there be more?
Roan
Yeah, it just came out.
Harry
It's coming out now.
Roan
Like, it's just. It's just starting.
Francis
Oh, good. What fun.
Roan
But the. I think the third episode's my favorite so far. I was screwing, screaming, laughing.
Harry
I thought that there's a fire alarm going off in Manhattan. Yeah, it was sass because I was laughing. So I thought Banshee was out. Have you guys ever had any type of beef with your neighbors? I know you said your neighbor always. What, she fall asleep on her door or something?
Roan
Yeah, well, like that.
Francis
Oh, that was a great. That was one of my favorite moments.
Roan
Well, it's happened, like, five times.
Francis
Can you just give us a quick recap?
Roan
One of my neighbors will occasionally just, like, pass out right in front of my door. And then I gotta go, like, wake up. I gotta go, like, knock on the super's door and be like, I think my neighbor's dead. It's happened, like, multiple times.
Harry
That's so funny. And they're standing or they're.
Roan
They're laying, laying.
Harry
They'll have a nice lay.
Roan
But it hasn't happened in a while, thankfully. And I. I get like. Every time I hear something by the door, I'm like. You just hear a slide. Because last time it happened, it was like, 7pm What?
Francis
How is it possible that she gets all the way to her door?
Roan
That's what Nate was asking and says,
Francis
I can't go another step.
Roan
I don't know.
Francis
Tired.
Roan
I think it's like, the keys. Maybe you go for the keys, but
Francis
that's like a fucking Manchurian Candidate trigger.
Roan
No, I've never once gotten to the door and then not gotten in.
Harry
I think it's the same reason that a lot of people will only shit themselves as they go through their own front door. Because your body starts to relax when you know that you're close to home. And so it's just like.
Roan
Yeah, maybe in her, maybe like. Like, for me, the end goal is obviously getting into my apartment, but maybe for her, it's just getting into the building.
Harry
Safety. Yeah, getting to safety.
Francis
The stairs are hard. The door is easy. She's done the difficult part.
Roan
Yeah, that's gonna. You never hear her coming up the stairs either. You'd think you would hear, like, falling over.
Harry
She slithers up those.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
You know, she's navigated the Kungu Ice fall. She's made it past Camp 3Y. She's made it up the Hillary Step. Yeah. And she's 20ft from the summit.
Harry
She says, I don't want to see the summit. I don't want to make the top of the world.
Roan
I mean, it's happened. It's happened during the day. It's happened on Sundays. It's happened. It's happened at 3 in the morning. The 3 in the morning one was the worst one.
Francis
Why?
Roan
Because I didn't have anything. There was just like.
Harry
It Was like, you had to leave her.
Roan
Chaos.
Francis
Why didn't you just let her sleep there?
Roan
I did.
Francis
So why was that bad for you?
Roan
It's kind of hard to go to bed knowing that there's someone asleep directly outside your door and you're like, hopefully they're alive. I'm not really quite sure.
Harry
Yeah, because you might have to wake up in an hour and a half when paramedics come.
Roan
Yeah, exactly. The black body Fire department prize. Open my door.
Francis
Dude, this girl. I think this girl has a disease.
Roan
I don't know.
Harry
Yeah, it's called addiction.
Francis
Narcolepsy.
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
She has to be an opiate addict.
Roan
No, I don't think. Because there's never any weird behavior for like months at a time. And then it's just one. Boom.
Francis
Look, some snacks just show up. Blue diamond almonds and more shows out almonds, cashews and pistachios in bold flavors like honey roasted smokehouse and roasted sea salt. Freshness guaranteed. And clutch in crunch time every bite. Try blue diamond almonds and more.
Roan
The flavorful nutmeg. But maybe she gave it up. Who knows?
Francis
One time I used to live in just like a four story walk up,
Harry
but on Mott Street.
Francis
No, in Brooklyn Heights.
Harry
Oh.
Francis
And I was on the second floor, but each floor was its own apartment. Yeah. So one night this guy who lived the floor above me came home, was super, super drunk, and it was like one in the morning on a Wednesday or some shit, and he starts ringing my doorbell. Buzz. Yeah, because It's. Because it's 1:30 in the morning. I'm dead asleep.
Harry
Did he think it was his apartment?
Francis
No, he just left his keys and needed me to let him in. And I went down and let him in. What did I do? I mean, yeah, because I didn't have a buzzer. I didn't have the ability to unlock the door. So I got up out of bed.
Roan
That sucks.
Francis
Put clothes on, went down, let him in. And I was like, what's going on, man? He's like, yeah, I left my keys. I don't know. And he never apologized.
Roan
And then I didn't remember.
Francis
He was so drunk that he didn't remember it happened.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
So it's like one of those things where I was like, do I bring this up to this guy and be like, dude, by the way, you really put me out the other night. Yeah. Like, please don't do that.
Harry
Hit him with that passive aggression. Hey, Mark, you had a fun night the other night. Make him feel bad about it.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Even that old Catholic guilt.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
If I did that to a neighbor, if I woke a Neighbor up at 1:30 in the morning because I didn't have my keys and I was super drunk, I would buy them for a $400 bottle of wine.
Roan
Yeah. I would just move out like that week.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
I gotta get out of here.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
You've disgraced yourself in front of your community. Like, people would be shunned in the Aztec Times for things like that. Like killed. Killed publicly. Maybe. That's. So that's, I guess, not bad. Have you. You don't seem like the type of guy that would ever have any type of nasty behavior that would have the. Your neighbors mad at you other than playing Huey Lewis in the news too loud while you chainsaw girls to death. But outside of that, just be.
Francis
I've said this before, but I love it when people just like constantly say that I must be a serial killer because I'm shaven.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
It's like, oh, you don't think that that guy right there who you know is unkempt, doesn't smell good, has horrible hygiene.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
And has photos that like pictures on the wall of pretty woman that have like crosses through the eyes and darts sticking out of their breasts? You know, like, that guy's the one killing people.
Roan
Who knows?
Francis
I'm having dinner with them. I'm getting to know these women.
Roan
It could be a thing where it's like, you know, maybe those people that are so out there, it's like, well, they can't be them.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
Because it would be too obvious.
Harry
Too obvious.
Roan
Yeah. But everybody puts it on usually ends up being them.
Harry
The comments of anyone of Francis's videos have that undertone that people will try to put serial killer on you.
Francis
Yeah. I have too much at stake to start killing people.
Roan
Yeah. Not maybe like 10 years ago, but not now. Yeah, you're not gonna kill now.
Harry
They're probably saying for next weekend.
Francis
It's the best club in the country. I'm gonna kill a woman before selling out the comedy works downtown.
Roan
Yeah, maybe after.
Harry
I think they're saying that you're celebrate a little bit.
Francis
We'll see how this year's Internet invitational goes. You know, if I'm losing early. Yeah, maybe. Maybe we'll kill some women.
Harry
Women. I think that people are saying that you're calculated and your attention to detail is high enough that they could see you being able to execute something.
Francis
No, exactly. I think. I think the key. The key distinction is that. That I could get away with it.
Harry
Right? Exactly.
Francis
Yes.
Harry
That's what they're saying that it's like, oh, you, you thought of every little detail of something. And I think that that's what they're referring to.
Francis
I take that as kind of a compliment. It's a compliment.
Roan
Yeah, they are.
Harry
They're on your dick. Anyone is saying you're cereal.
Francis
To be clear, people who kill women, the proclivity towards that is not
Roan
being
Francis
groomed, well groomed and having an. A skincare routine and all of that.
Harry
Girls actually, they. You're talking about a fantasy that they have is being serial killed by a well groomed man.
Francis
Ah.
Harry
You know that they want to have a combination of American psycho but also 50 shades of gray where they also, they get killed by a super hot guy. That's why they listen to true crime so much. They're just trying to get themselves in the mood for death.
Roan
They're trying to get off.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
That's what they're doing.
Francis
Everyone loved to like play up how handsome Ted Bundy was.
Roan
Not even answer.
Francis
I'll tell you what, that didn't. Didn't look so good.
Harry
Now, what are actually hot serial killers? John Wayne Gacy was gross, right? Fat as shit. Fat. Gross. Usually.
Francis
I think it's like men that can't get women right, isn't. Yeah.
Roan
I think the Ted Bundy stuff just gave people like the idea that it's not that. But yeah, like if you look historically at most serial killers, they're like oafs.
Francis
Yeah. They're just.
Harry
Yeah, yeah. This is going to get you serial killed. There's a serial killer listening right now who just squeezed his 8 ounce glass of Welch's grape juice until it burst in his hand. Just furious at you.
Francis
I don't have to kill women because I get along with them. Does that make sense? Like, the math adds up for me. I've had, I've had, you know, if. Look, I get it. Like if I didn't get along with women. Yeah. I can understand needing to kill them.
Roan
It really just goes back to like your relationship with your mother. Like, if you have a good relationship with your mom, usually you don't kill people. But if you have a bad relationship with your mom.
Harry
This dude watched one Hitchcock movie and. No, that's literally like this, the Oedipus complex.
Francis
He watched. He watched that monster show, the Ed Gein Story.
Roan
Literally.
Francis
Did you watch that one?
Roan
I watched the Edge. Oh, wait, no, I watched. I was thinking of. What's the show that got canceled after two seasons.
Francis
True. Or
Roan
the one about. It's about the serial Killers and like the study of serial killers.
Francis
Mind Hunters.
Roan
Yeah. Mindhunter.
Francis
I didn't see it.
Roan
Oh, phenomenal.
Francis
It was. I tried it. It was pretty dark and I don't
Roan
know, the first two episodes, weirdly, the acting is like, awful. But it gets better.
Francis
It's Jonathan Groff, right? Yeah.
Roan
Thanks.
Francis
A big Broadway guy.
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
Speaking of, Luigi Mangione's show just went on Broadway today. If we're talking about killers and Broadway, really, there's like a show about Luigi Mangione already out on Broadway.
Francis
No way.
Roan
I feel quick.
Francis
A farce?
Harry
I'm not sure.
Francis
A comedic farce.
Harry
Mac, could you see if it's a comedic farce about Luigi Mangione?
Roan
Well, you know, it was probably the CIA that wrote it. They've probably been writing it.
Harry
Oh, they're. They're in on killing the CEOs of pharmaceutical companies. The CIA is?
Roan
Yep.
Harry
It's a comedy.
Roan
It's a comm.
Francis
My cardiologist, I can't see him anymore. I'm supposed to have an out of network. Mount Sinai Medical Group is no longer our insurance anthem. Blue Cross Blue Shield doesn't work with them if I don't with them. So my primary care physician and my cardiologists are now no longer available to me. And these are people from whom I need continuing care.
Roan
Yeah, that's insane. So can they like recommend you to someone else that is in network?
Francis
I mean, I'll just have to go find someone myself. But like I'm. I'm on a prescription medication for years from this guy.
Harry
And then they're gonna probably try to prescribe you some kind of like. Oh, it's exactly the same as medic medicine. You're gonna go watch Luigi and everybody else is going to be laughing and you're going to be gripping your 8 ounce glass of Welch's grape juice like this. Fudgeing. So pissed off, you're probably going to leave. Fucking with a bloodlust.
Francis
You're not wrong.
Harry
You're going to leave so pissed off. Ready to kill.
Roan
Should we go see Luigi's. Luigi's play?
Harry
Mac, who's the CEO of our health insurance company?
Roan
Of what? Blue Anthem Blue Shield.
Harry
The CEO. And what's their. What's their address? Yeah, what's their Cross street?
Roan
Not a bad idea.
Harry
I wouldn't mind seeing Luigi. Or get the actor to whoever plays him.
Roan
Who do you think's playing him?
Harry
Probably Christian Chenoweth, Timothy Chalamet. Who's that actor? That's Ben. Ben Platt, maybe Ben Platt.
Francis
Oh, yeah. I Saw him in. What was his goofy ass waving through Wind Ho.
Roan
I don't know if I know Ben Platt.
Harry
I think you would.
Francis
You would. He was in some. Some movie about the acapella groups that everyone loves.
Harry
Pitch Perfect. Pitch Perfect.
Francis
He was in that.
Harry
He's like the second main character.
Roan
Not Adam.
Harry
He's not the hot main character. He's like the nerdier guy, I guess. And then he's in some musical where a guy falls out of a tree
Francis
and breaks his arm because he was trying to kill himself.
Harry
I watched that on a plane not knowing it was a musical. But by the time they started singing songs, I was pot committed. So I just had the fucking tough.
Francis
Tough musical. Movies are so bad. Tough.
Harry
Watch When La La Land won an Oscar. I just realized that everybody in Hollywood is the dumbest person alive every time
Francis
they come out with one.
Roan
What about tick, tick boom?
Harry
39 days?
Francis
I made it 10 minutes into that movie.
Roan
I loved that movie.
Harry
He watched.
Roan
I've seen it twice.
Harry
I've never even seen it, but I just heard him sing 39 days.
Roan
Is it 30, 90, or 40?
Francis
Not.
Roan
I forget what they say.
Francis
It's the story of how Rent was made. Right?
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah. I can't. I can't be bothered.
Roan
It's good. It's a good movie.
Francis
I mean, Les Mis, things like that.
Roan
Now, this is more.
Francis
They always win the Oscars, and I'm like, what the are we doing here?
Roan
This is a fun one.
Francis
Swinging Tower.
Roan
It's fun. It's Garfield. It's Andrew Garfield.
Francis
Yeah, I know.
Roan
Who doesn't like Andrew Garfield?
Francis
Everybody likes Andrew Garfield.
Roan
Exactly. So watch the movie. It's a great.
Francis
I tried. I was like, oh, it's gonna be this the whole time.
Roan
It's not the whole time. It's good dial time, and then there's some good songs in it.
Francis
La La Land was not quite musical.
Harry
There was five songs. There were five times through that movie where they broke out of the song.
Francis
I know.
Roan
That's.
Francis
I don't know. I also thought the music was great.
Harry
It was not.
Francis
You didn't like it? I love that movie.
Harry
It certainly was not.
Francis
Why didn't you like it?
Harry
The fact that they're breaking out in song and everybody's like, this is amazing. Like, they're in traffic, like, On Top of the Thing.
Francis
Another Dave Summer opening number.
Harry
It's insane.
Francis
You need to start with a bang on a show.
Harry
Like, they bastardized Ryan Gosling's career with that one.
Roan
Yeah, Gosling. Was Gosling just on Jeopardy. And he won.
Harry
Yes. With a guess. Yeah. Is that real?
Roan
I think, yeah.
Harry
He said idk. And it was like, what? They were like, actually, is it okay? That could have been AI getting us.
Roan
That could have been AI.
Harry
I've seen a lot of AI accounts recently where it's like guys being like the divorce effect. And it's just AI of just like a saggy faced old guy filming himself at the gym. And then they snap and it's the hottest guy you've ever seen with a 12 pack, like two weeks afterwards, supposedly. And everybody's like, congrats, man. Like, so you really turn shit around. Keep going.
Francis
But like, brother, yeah, I saw one where there was a flood in India and an elephant with its trunk plucked a drowning tiger out of the river and put it on its back.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
And then the tiger lies down on its back. And all the comments were like, nature can be amazing. And then the fifth one was like, who's gonna tell them?
Roan
Yeah, it's pretty crazy when you read the comments of those in every. There's like. Most of the people are like, wow, yeah, that's fun. That's really good.
Harry
The gorilla getting dragged into the forest and like they hand their baby gorilla to people on a safari and everyone's like, wow, that gorilla's so fucking smart to have done that. The dying wish of a mother transcends species.
Roan
My favorite ones are the ones where it's like. It's like Obama and like Charlie Kirk and Epstein. Yahoo. You ever seen those?
Harry
They'll do full like, yeah, Charlie Kirk,
Roan
little kid and it's Obama with like a SWAT. SWAT uniform on.
Francis
I liked when LeBron, the one where they would do the LeBron press conferences. I haven't seen it in a long time.
Roan
That was back when it was fun. Yeah, that was back when people were having fun with it.
Francis
Yeah, they were.
Harry
People are not having fun. They're intentionally being duplicitous.
Roan
Yeah. Now it's for the used for evil. Strictly.
Harry
Strictly. Well, I mean, your boy Altman. Did you see Altman sold it all to the government? He was like, they promise they won't use it to hurt people.
Roan
Yeah, that guy's a fucking bomb. I wish. Nothing but the.
Harry
Honestly, Matt, can you look up Sam Altman's cross streets? Yeah, we might need to go watch
Francis
Luigi and find out what. Find out what health care he uses. I'm sorry that I spoke over you.
Harry
Did you talk over me?
Francis
I don't know, I just did. Just now.
Harry
I don't think you did, but I did. We're building. We're building a bit of a lasagna where, like the pieces have to be on top of each other.
Francis
Yeah, you just. Just like when I edit my voiceover stuff, you want it to come.
Roan
Oh, yeah. J cut or an L cut.
Francis
What do they do?
Roan
Yes.
Harry
Or like when you're shuffling some cards, like the whole card isn't over each other, but just enough to make a nice tight stack. So you're good, brother.
Roan
The. Yeah, Altman guy's a problem.
Harry
Yeah, it's a bad, bad guy. He's.
Roan
He's a guy that you look at and you're like, that's a bad. Like he's evil. Like, you know, he. He will do anything it takes. He doesn't give a fuck.
Francis
Hey, Matt, can you still see me? Maybe. Sean, can you still see me? Okay.
Roan
Are you tucking away?
Francis
I want to see more of Roan.
Harry
Oh, I got you. I got you too.
Francis
I spent so much time looking at you because it's easy. It's hard for me to look at him.
Roan
I'm always bouncing around.
Francis
I think that. I think we need to. Yeah, we're going to orient the pod more towards me.
Harry
Yeah, I think that that'd be nice. Or.
Francis
Yeah, it's gonna be.
Harry
Or maybe we are both on a couch and you're on this couch.
Francis
What about that? I wonder what that would do for our dynamic.
Harry
And I'm still in the middle, but we're just looking at you.
Francis
You know, who wouldn it? Only child over here. Single child.
Roan
I don't hate it. I could just start laying down on this one. Facing that way.
Francis
What do you mean?
Roan
Tilt the mic this way.
Harry
We want to lay down.
Francis
Sure.
Roan
Guys, we're going to change up the whole.
Francis
I've, I, I, I, I bore it as long as I could. It's lie down.
Roan
Oh, I see.
Francis
I can't. I can't countenance that anymore.
Roan
Well, I can't.
Harry
So lay down, barista.
Roan
Saying barista. Talking about lie or lay.
Harry
You want to hear that? Barista.
Roan
Barista.
Harry
That's how you want to hear. Have him say it?
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
It's funny. I actually said it as barista because I wanted to sound less cunty.
Roan
There's something about a new workout set that makes you feel unstoppable. The problem? Buying new gear all the time isn't realistic. But joining Fabletics as a VIP is game changer. New VIPs unlock insane savings on their first outfits. So getting that fresh set boost is suddenly totally doable.
Harry
It's so nice they have some shorts that I just got from Fabletics and they're lightweight and I feel like I could. Feel like I could move in those.
Roan
Yeah, you're moving different.
Francis
I have a pair of green pants from Fabletics which are my go to airport travel pants.
Roan
Oh yeah, I've seen. I actually know those. I know what you're talking about.
Francis
Most comfortable pants I've ever worn. And I have. I wore them in San Francisco when we were walking around that picture of us in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm wearing my Fabletics. Of course.
Harry
The best.
Roan
When you sign up as a new VIP with Fabletics, you get 80 off everything. And it's not one of those too good to be true things. It's real. Bless you.
Francis
Sorry.
Roan
The quality honestly surprised me. Fabletics pieces feel like the kind of high end activewear you easily pay a couple hundred dollars for. But you get that same premium fit and durability for a tiny fraction of the price. At that point, the VIP membership basically pays for itself. Everything feels soft, breathable, flexible, and built for whatever your day looks like. Fabletics already has incredible deals and I've got an exclusive offer just for our listeners. Get 80% off everything when you sign up as a VI. 80 off.
Harry
Damn.
Roan
When you sign up as a VIP, just head to fabletics.com boydad Take a quick quiz, a style quiz, and be sure to select boy dad when prompted to unlock your 80 off. That's Fabletics.com boydad yeah, I bought a laptop yesterday.
Francis
You did?
Roan
Yeah, I did bad. Yeah, I got fleeced. They they, they, they me.
Harry
You buy cash?
Roan
No, I walked to Best Buy right after we finished recording. Way colder out than I thought it was going to be. I was freezing and then I got in there and I was like, well, now I'm definitely behind a laptop.
Harry
A little treat.
Roan
Now I'm cold. Now I need to. Now I need a toy.
Francis
I wish I couldn't relate to that.
Harry
Oh my God.
Roan
Yeah, it was not a good idea. It was one of those ones that as soon as I bought it I was like, this was stupid and I didn't need to do that.
Harry
Is it built like a tank?
Roan
It's a beast.
Harry
Really?
Roan
Yeah. And I got a cooling pad for below.
Harry
It gets so hot.
Francis
It gets hot from being on your lap?
Roan
No, because it's. It's like. It's a regular laptop, but it has the capability to not be a regular laptop.
Francis
So it's like what, it can be a plane using a transformer.
Harry
Are you talking about a transformer that you bought yesterday?
Roan
No, like, you could use it. Like, it's like a standard, like a PC. Like, if you have a gaming PC, you can still use the gaming PC just to do normal tasks. Like, just like go on Google Chrome or open up Excel. So it's like, if you're doing, like regular shit like that, it's not gonna get too hot, but if you play games on it, it's gonna get very hot.
Francis
If you watch porn on a gaming PC, do the women come out of the screen and jerk you off?
Roan
Yes.
Francis
It's like the ring, but erotic.
Roan
Yeah, exactly.
Harry
Yeah, the nuva ring.
Roan
Like this thing. It's 240Hz refresh rate. So you're gonna be seeing stuff in porn that you've never seen before.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
Because you haven't had the technology to see it.
Francis
You see the cuts and what? Exactly like. All right, switch position now, please.
Roan
Yes. You're going to be seeing those. You're going to be getting those extra
Francis
frames that you'll realize on just how fake it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Harry
Is it. Is it going to be elevated to keep it cooler? Like, if you put it on a little, like, elevation and it's not flush on a surface, that's what the cooler down.
Roan
The cooler goes under. It's just two fans, little igloo cooler.
Francis
So basically you're doing for your laptop what I did for my bed.
Harry
What'd you do for your bed?
Francis
I got the eight sleep.
Roan
Oh, you got that.
Francis
That temper temperature regulation.
Roan
Is that the thing that goes under the sheet or is that like the whole mattress?
Francis
It's under the sheet, but it's a new. It's a new mattress. It's a new mattress top.
Roan
Yeah, it's like a fan that goes in.
Francis
No, it's. It's water. It's a water. It's a mattress topper that has water running through it, and then there's a machine connected to it that regulates the temperature of the water and regulates the temperature of the bed beneath you.
Harry
How much water are we talking?
Francis
How thick is it with water like that?
Harry
What does it feel like you're in a waterbed?
Francis
No, not at all.
Roan
Not at all. Does it cycle out the water or do you have to have running water attached to.
Francis
Cycles out the water through the reservoir thing?
Roan
So there's like a tank. There's like a tank next to it.
Francis
Yeah, there's a. Next to the bed, but I can't even see it.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
Is a machine. A hub, they call it, I think, which has a Hose into the mattress. And throughout the night, as my body temperature changes, sometimes I get hotter.
Roan
Your body, it changes with it.
Francis
It adjusts the temperature of the bed to make sure that you are having optimal temperature. Honestly, I don't even like kind of fuck eight sleep is my attitude. Because I asked them if they'd send me one and I would promote the hell out of it. And they're like, we only work with athletes. And I was like, I'm in the best shape of my life.
Harry
And they were like, send them the Internet invitational.
Roan
Dude should have said, I am an athlete.
Francis
I know. They were like, we've stopped working with influencers. And I was like, don't you hold
Roan
the fucking phone there.
Francis
Don't call me an influencer. I'm an entertainer.
Harry
Athlete, comedian, entertainer, musician.
Francis
I am an entertainer.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
Don't you dare call me an influencer. But they were like. Anyway. So. Anyway, it pissed me off, but. So I don't want to give them free.
Harry
So you bought it?
Francis
I bought it.
Roan
How much was it?
Francis
Maybe 3,000 bucks.
Roan
I thought you were gonna say $300. No, there's gotta be a $300 version.
Francis
No. Yeah, there's cheaper companies.
Harry
I mean. Yeah. You got a water bag.
Roan
Get a trash bag, fill it with water. I splashing around in bed.
Francis
Sleep in the tub.
Harry
Frozen trash bag. A slab away, freezing.
Francis
Turn the tap back on.
Harry
It regulates me.
Roan
I used to put water on my pillowcase.
Harry
That's insane.
Roan
Not really, no.
Harry
Yes, it is. No, you're going to. You're.
Roan
You wouldn't. It's not like you're going to bed soaking wet.
Harry
You're putting. You're making your pillow wet every night.
Roan
I said I used to when I was young. How old, child?
Francis
How old?
Roan
Probably like eight.
Harry
Why'd you stop?
Roan
I don't know.
Harry
Because you realize it's crazy.
Francis
You grew up.
Roan
Yeah, it actually isn't that crazy though,
Harry
pouring water on your pillowcase every night.
Roan
We didn't never. We never have. Like, my parents still don't have ac. They just live in like a thousand degrees constantly. It's insane. Like, I would go to bed every night, like, oh my God, I can't breathe. It's so hot.
Harry
What about like a ceiling fan or something?
Roan
No, never had one.
Francis
Come on, you're just. Do.
Roan
You're dad, you swear to God? I've never had a soaking wet in my entire life. I've never had a ceiling fan in my room.
Francis
What about a box fan?
Roan
Yeah, occasionally a box fan, but those don't do anything. That just blows around hot air.
Francis
No, if I have a box fan on your face. Yeah. Blowing hard at me. I. Even if it's warm, I can sleep pretty well with that.
Roan
That's how I sleep now. Now I sleep. I got the ace. I still have the AC just humming.
Francis
Even in the winter.
Roan
Because for your brain, you have to. The radiator. If you. If you choose to live the life where you' Letting the radiator decide when you're going to be hot and cold. It's a bad life to live.
Francis
Right?
Harry
You're submitting.
Francis
So I.
Roan
And I have a fan next to my bed.
Francis
I hate to do this. I really. This bothers me to say this.
Roan
All good.
Francis
The eight sleep is the single best thing I've purchased ever. Probably even better than my coffee Sheen machine.
Roan
My only worry with the. With the aid sleep.
Francis
Oh, my God.
Harry
Did you just break that?
Francis
What the hell?
Harry
You're savage. So you gotta buy us a new one now. You really. Oh, my.
Francis
So much easier this time.
Roan
My only worry with the aids. With aids or the aids sleep.
Francis
8. 8.
Roan
I thought it was AIDS sleep. My only problem with the eight sleep
Francis
is that for people sleeping better when they have aids. Yeah.
Harry
Eternal AIDS sleep.
Roan
I'm just worried that it would be like. I worry that I would get into a thing where I wouldn't be able to sleep without it.
Francis
That is a fear. Fortunately, I travel so much that I can't adjust to it. And it makes me look forward to getting home and sleeping in my bed so fucking much.
Harry
You have one upstate too?
Roan
Just. Just in the city?
Francis
No, I don't have one upstate because I rent my place upstate. And I don't think that the people renting it deserve to have.
Roan
No, no.
Francis
And also I worry they'd fuck it up. They pop it. But I also get. I also get. I'm giving them so much fucking credit here. I get scores.
Roan
Well, let's clarify. They're pieces of shit. They just make a. They make a damn good product.
Francis
Why do you think they're pieces of shit?
Harry
They wouldn't give you the free one.
Francis
Oh, they are the. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right?
Roan
Scumbag assholes.
Francis
Yeah. Don't buy their product, but it's amazing. They give you sleep metrics and it tracks all this. So, like, it tells you the quality of your sleep, how much time you had in REM sleep interruptions.
Harry
Hit us with some stats, brother. Don't be stingy.
Roan
Well, I have your average RAM looking like.
Francis
I don't know. I mean, on a. This was Last week I got a 98. That's the best I've ever had. And I slept. I mean that was a crazy night of sleep. Eight hours and 27 minutes. What time did I go to bed?
Roan
That means you got about nine and a half too. If you factor in how much time you were awake.
Francis
Yeah, that's what. When you fall asleep, it's like Santa Claus. Yeah.
Roan
And then takes away the time that you weren't asleep during your sleep. No, that's what mine does.
Francis
I don't think so. Well, either way, I'd go to bed
Roan
and I'll be like, oh, I got nine hours of sleep. And then I'll check and be like, actually you got eight.
Francis
I really didn't have much sleep interruptions, but I had 1 hour and 16 minutes of deep sleep, 1 hour 51 minutes of REM and I mean that's the best night of sleep I've had in a long, long time. This time did you go to bed that night? Yeah, 11:22.
Harry
Slept till 8 on the dot. Yeah, right before 8.
Francis
This, this week has been bad because I'm so stressed and you can just tell, I mean, so last night I slept six hours and 45 minutes. Quality was 84. It's not terrible. Sleep score was 82. Terrible. I went, I slept from 1138. Oh, excuse me. No, that's not. Slept from 12:07am to 7:09am not terrible one.
Roan
That's pretty much what I did last night.
Francis
One thing that's cool is. No, that must have been two nights ago because I had that. I was. Well, that I was writing all night last night.
Roan
Sound like it?
Francis
Yeah, this was too.
Roan
Sounds like you were sound asleep.
Harry
Maybe you're sleep writing do that.
Francis
No, I can't do that. So anyway, the point is though, one thing that's really cool is that like to when it wake, if you want you can set an alarm through it.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
And it just gently vibrates under you to wake you up.
Roan
Nice.
Harry
That's so nice.
Francis
And, and then, and then it'll slowly raise the temperature as well to like.
Harry
Do you know what, you know what, what kind of numbers the video of you explaining all this on would, would do just like the, that cut up video.
Francis
I'm angry that I got sucked in, but it's such a good product that I can't, I can't even resist now.
Roan
I would like that I wake up hot as all the time.
Francis
You'd benefit from this.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
Because it can be so hot around you and you can just you can go all the way down to the -10 setting, and you'll be cold. You'll put a hot, heavy duvet over yourself and you'll be comfortable.
Roan
That's nice. Minus 10.
Harry
That sounds so nice.
Roan
That sounds really nice.
Harry
So what is your internal temperature when that's happening? You obviously sleep hot, though.
Roan
I could probably use my gaming laptop on the bed, too. Cool it down.
Francis
You can put your. Yeah, you don't need the cooling pad. In fact, you'd probably take that right back to Best Buy.
Roan
Oh, return it immediately.
Francis
Yeah, yeah.
Harry
How much was that?
Roan
It was a piece of the, the cooling pad. Yeah, it's like 30 bucks.
Harry
Yeah. So now the mattress is only going to cost $2,970.
Francis
Let's see what the cost of the,
Roan
I mean, gaming laptop was up there.
Harry
I know. You could have had a gaming laptop with the best night's sleep in your life.
Roan
Aid sleep.
Harry
Could have that AIDS sleep, that deep aid sleep that killed Freddie Mercury.
Roan
That sweet. Aids, sweet. AIDS sleep.
Harry
Well, at least you bought this thing now, and now you're going to be able to game so hard. At least you'll probably get good at video games now. Instead,
Roan
the guy tried to get. He, he made. He, he. The guy at the store explained this price match thing to me where he was like, the price will go. He's like, the price is gonna go down in the next three months. And he's like, when it goes down, you. If you notify or like, you scan some on the app, on the Best Buy app, then they'll return the price difference. But I don't think the, Like, I, I. And I was like, oh. I was like, I'm okay. And he was like, you're gonna. He's like, you would save like 500 bucks if you do it. And I was like, all right, and I'll do it. But then I was thinking about it. I'm like, well, what makes him think the. What makes him think the price is going to go down? Isn't everything trending up?
Francis
Not in technology, yo.
Roan
Specifically in tech.
Francis
No. The. That laptop will be replaced by a newer version next.
Roan
Yeah, but the parts like the, the storage is what's expensive. That's what's causing everything to go up.
Francis
Up.
Harry
You got suckered.
Roan
I think I got.
Harry
You got badly suckered. Anytime that they're like, you want to
Roan
buy, I'm a Best Buy member.
Harry
Oh, you are?
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
You can't be buying that when they're. They're like, you want a insurance on this Calculator you want the warranty on this ti89? You don't want the warranty?
Roan
No. Typically I say no, but this was so expensive that I was like, yeah.
Harry
Did you get shamed by a black nerd?
Roan
No. Indian nerd.
Harry
Oh, even worse.
Roan
But we didn't. He didn't shame me. We both were. It was more of a collaboration. It was more like game respects game. Because once I dropped on him, I was like, my current rig at home when I'm working. And then he was like, oh, this guy's serious.
Harry
He means business. Yeah, that commission must have been nice for him. I think they got commissions.
Roan
You got paid yesterday, that's for sure. And I did the survey. It's kind of guy I am.
Harry
Fives across the board. Oh, yeah, that's love.
Francis
It's tournament season and every game feels like an upset waiting to happen. But there's a clear number one seed in the snack bracket.
Roan
Blue diamond almonds and more.
Francis
This ain't no play in nut mix. It's almonds, cashews and pistachios in top tier blue diamond flavors like honey roasted smokehouse and roasted sea salt. Freshness guaranteed. 5 grams of protein per serving. No filler, no weak links. The official snack of the big ten is a dominant mix. From tip off to the final whistle. Upgrade your snack game with blue diamond almonds and more.
Roan
The flavorful nut mix.
Harry
Francis caught me in the hallway talking, talking, talking a little Spanish.
Francis
Ron was talking, I spotted, to the cleaning ladies.
Roan
He always is doing. We call that in. We call that. What's the word for that?
Francis
Code switching.
Roan
It's close. What's the word I'm trying to think of? Oh, performative. We call that performative.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
I mean, I was doing it alone.
Roan
Were you though?
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Because it sounds like you were just. You just caught Francis walking by at the perfect time.
Harry
Francis caught me. I didn't know Francis was curling around that corner.
Roan
You were waiting for someone.
Harry
I wasn't waiting.
Roan
Waiting for someone to go by. And they're. Is that. Roan's talking fluent Spanish with the cleaning lady. How impressive is that?
Francis
He wasn't though. He was asking her how to say something.
Harry
Yeah, I was asking how to say something, dumbass.
Francis
He said. He said, como se dice ice on espanol.
Roan
Wow.
Harry
Como sedice? They're here right now. Como said. He say run. I was asking how you say brown? Because I said one of my sons has brown eyes like me and the other one has blue eyes like Jesus in the Bible.
Roan
What did they say?
Harry
She said a me gusta a Jesus.
Roan
What's the. No, how do you say brown and then what's blue? Agua.
Harry
If you're in. If you're in Barcelona.
Francis
You guys both have brown eyes.
Roan
Yeah, I have brown eyes.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Yeah, you got beautiful blue eyes.
Francis
Really blue eyes.
Harry
Lovely blue eyes.
Francis
They say that blue eyes with red hair is the single rarest combination of hair and eye color together in the world. I'll believe it. It. Someone just told me that.
Roan
Yeah, I believe it.
Harry
Yeah, that makes sense because there's probably even more women with like blue hair and brown eyes than brown eyes and.
Francis
Yeah, I never would have thought though that I always thought that a lot of redheads had blue eyes.
Harry
No, I don't think a lot of them have brown eyes.
Francis
I hate, I hate redheads with brown eyes, period.
Harry
Just full stop hate them.
Roan
You're self loathing gingerbread.
Francis
Yeah, I do everything I can to hang out with non redheaded people.
Harry
What's a self loathing gender? That's like an uncle. Uncle cracker.
Roan
What's there gonna be?
Harry
Uncle Tom.
Roan
You and Mook are going to be like quite the squad together.
Francis
I can't be seen with him.
Roan
You're gonna be opening for you.
Francis
I think if people see us walking together, they're gonna think we're up to no good.
Roan
They're gonna think he's your son.
Francis
He'll think we're my boy.
Roan
Yeah, my boy's opening for me tonight.
Harry
Does that happen in comedy? Are there like famous comedian sons? The way that they're football players? Like. No, I don't think Shador Sanders is there a comedy version of his dad
Francis
is a clown and he brings him to come do like magic. He does like magic and stuff.
Roan
Oh, really? I didn't know that. Yeah, I thought he just did stand up on the shows.
Harry
Why does. Yeah, well, I wonder why that is. If you have a. If you're a funny comic dad to the kids wind up not being funny. Or they're just like, oh no, I want to want to be somebody that's present in my kid's life.
Francis
That's a good question. I don't know. Athletes always want to be kids. Always.
Harry
You always.
Roan
I feel like if you're an athlete, the thing is like your kids are going to be athletic, but if you're
Harry
funny, your kids aren't going to be funny.
Roan
Not necessarily.
Harry
Really? Yeah, you just get a serious batch.
Roan
Good. Depends on how you raise them.
Harry
I'm raising mine. Slapstick.
Francis
My dad. My dad, when I became. I've said this when my dad, when I became a comedian, my dad also started becoming a comedian. He was like, oh, he's successful. Clearly this is a genetic thing that I ignored.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
In myself.
Harry
If you had fostered it.
Francis
I gave this to him. Now it's almost not too. It's not too late, but it's close for me to uncover this long lost skill of mine.
Roan
Yeah, yeah. My dad honestly the same way.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
He's turning it up.
Roan
Yeah, I could see that big time.
Harry
What comedians are your dad's age?
Francis
I don't know.
Harry
What comedians are your dad's age.
Francis
Seinfeld.
Harry
Really?
Roan
Jerry.
Harry
Your dad could have been Jerry if he had just applied himself.
Roan
I feel like anyone could have been Jerry.
Harry
You're saying he doesn't. There's no special sauce to be the right guy. Huh.
Roan
Had to write the jokes. Like that time. Like that time when Jerry got big. They were just begging for a Jerry. They needed a Jerry.
Harry
You just. Anyone could have been Jerry. He just had to write the jokes that Jerry Seinfeld wrote.
Francis
Throat.
Harry
That's like being like anybody could have been Wayne Gretzky. You just had to score the goals.
Roan
Yeah, pretty much.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
But that like Wayne did it and Seinfeld did it.
Harry
But Seinfeld probably had like a unique. Are you just don't like Seinfeld?
Roan
No, I love Seinfeld.
Harry
He dated that 17 year old because she was legal. Because that was the age of consent in New York at the time. Was 17.
Roan
No. I got nothing against him. Okay, so what's the problem if he wants to do that? I wouldn't do that personally.
Harry
Why? It's legal.
Roan
That's not really my cup of tea. 17. But look, if that's the way that Seinfeld likes it because you just haven't
Harry
hit your late 30s yet.
Francis
You don't have enough.
Roan
Once you get your late 30s when you really start craving 17, you just don't have enough.
Francis
You don't have enough money yet.
Roan
Yeah, true.
Francis
Once you have enough money, all of a sudden 18 year olds are look tired. Yeah.
Harry
Sen class. I want the junior class.
Francis
Do you guys ever like just randomly while we're doing this, look up and see that our producers and not one of them is laughing.
Harry
What are you talking about? They've been laughing the whole.
Francis
They've all been laughing. Oh my God. I feel so bad that these guys have to listen now.
Roan
To be honest. I look up and I'm like, why is the hooping and hollering set so much nicer than ours? Not Looks like they're about to film, like, the survival. The Survivor fucking finale.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
What are the tiki torches doing over?
Roan
We're gonna get the votes going now. Jeff. Jeff's gonna flyin out.
Francis
Is there anyone on earth that you two would ask for an autograph at this point in your life?
Harry
Autograph?
Francis
Whose autograph you'd want? Nope.
Roan
No, not really.
Harry
I couldn't. I wouldn't ask for John Hancock's autograph if I saw him alive.
Francis
The autograph?
Roan
Yeah, I don't. I don't think so.
Francis
I just hand him a pen, John. You know what to do.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
So no autographs. What about who. Who would. With whom would you want a photo?
Harry
A lot of people.
Roan
Yeah, a lot.
Francis
Really?
Roan
LeBron, Brady, Gibbs.
Francis
What is that photo gonna do for you? Are you gonna look at it? Are you gonna post it?
Roan
Yeah, probably both.
Francis
Both of those.
Harry
Save it for when they die.
Roan
Yeah. Then posted again. I wouldn't want, say, I was actually their best friend. Just a pose about me, not them.
Francis
I wouldn't want just a contrived photo with Tom Brady. I'd want one that, like, those girls do candid, where they're, like, looking at each other.
Roan
Yeah. Yeah, that would be cool.
Francis
I want a candid photo with me and Tom Brady. I want to get.
Roan
You could make that happen, though, without, like, like, begging. Like, you could just be like, hey, take a photo of me and Tom, Brad. And then go up and be like, hey. And then, like, while you're taking the
Harry
hand someone's taking, the photographer just has to be dialed in. Yeah, like, you could get a candid one like that.
Francis
I want. I want to go up to Tom, and I'd be like, tom, can you just pretend that you're laughing really hard? Or, like, would you be willing to be laughing so hard that you're, like, leaning into my chest and I've got my head on the top of your head.
Harry
Do you think that you could tickle?
Roan
Is.
Harry
Does tickling. Does that work at any age? Like, could.
Francis
Could definitely becomes assault after a certain age.
Harry
Yeah, but does it still make you giggle? No, but it's just like, giggling without your consent?
Francis
No, I think you stopped giggling punching.
Harry
So there's nothing. There's no off of me. There's no tickle that could get you.
Francis
If I tried to tickle Harry right now, he would end the problem. You might be the last person. Person on earth I would ever try to tickle.
Roan
I'm not ticklish.
Harry
Is it. Is there a thing where you can't, like, Tickle somebody. You can only get tickled by someone you, like. Like, it can only work if you, like, the person, like, a stranger comes up and tries to tickle you. Like, like, if they were interrogating a terrorist or something like that, like, they couldn't tickle him and, like, start making him giggle. Right. That'd be impossible because the terrorists.
Roan
Yeah, yeah. No, I don't think that would work. I don't think. I think it only makes babies giggle because they don't have, like, that's like their main. Like, has you. Have you ever met, like, have you ever. Have you ever giggled from being tickled over the age of, like, six?
Harry
I mean, nobody's tickling me because you kind of know not to tickle people.
Roan
Yeah, but you still have been like, I've probably been tickled multiple times after the age of six. And I definitely wasn't like. I was definitely like, yo, what the.
Francis
Stop.
Harry
Who's tickling you? I don't.
Roan
I don't know. I mean, it's like, you know, you used to, like, go up behind. Behind your boys and you give them the squeeze. That's a good one. Yeah, you've definitely done that. I'll hit. I'll hit one of you guys with it in the next couple days and you'll be.
Harry
Are you talking about right under the rib?
Roan
Right under the ribs and you give them the double squeeze.
Harry
It's truly.
Roan
That's like, when someone does that to you, you want to fight them immediately.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Because you're like, why did you just grab my side fat?
Harry
It is when you tickle.
Roan
I just don't think it's. Well, that's like, what. That's like, what people think happens when you get tickled. And it ain't.
Harry
You have to, like, almost check in on. Even if you are tickling in that 0 to 6 range, you kind of have to tickle almost and check in on somebody to make sure that it's not turning into something you don't want it to.
Roan
Well, I think Francis was right. I think it. It is. It does turn into assault.
Harry
It's like a runaway train of tickling. Like, if you're getting tickled and you start laughing, but you can't stop laughing.
Roan
Anyone on earth that actually feels that they get tickled and they're laughing so hard they can't stop laughing.
Harry
I have been in that situation that you start crying.
Roan
You've been in that, and you're like, stop.
Harry
Yeah. Yes.
Roan
I've never been in that situation ever.
Harry
It was like, I was like 7 years old.
Roan
Ish.
Harry
Maybe 6. Honestly, it was right at that. It was like my tickle spot. Yeah, it was right when you stop. When you lose your tickle.
Roan
Yeah, exactly six.
Harry
I lost my tickle.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
When you do it to a baby, it feels like a superpower. When I'm tickling my boys, I feel like I'm the funniest guy ever. I feel so funny.
Francis
That's cool. When you get your kids laugh when you getting rounds. They have a great laugh. They all. Both of them have great laughs. Finn especially.
Harry
Yeah, he has a. He's a menace, but they both have. Yeah, lovely choice.
Roan
Finn. Short for Finnegan.
Harry
Not a damn thing. That's the whole kitten caboodle right there. Bam.
Roan
He's gonna be getting a lot of questions about that.
Harry
I don't think so.
Francis
What's fin short?
Roan
What's that short for?
Francis
Phineas.
Roan
Phineas Finnegan.
Francis
Finnegan's a cool name. I like that. It's just Finn Finnegan's wake.
Roan
People always ask me, they go, what's Harry? What is it? Harrison Harold.
Harry
What the would Harry be short for?
Roan
Harrison Harold?
Harry
Okay,
Roan
Those two specifically. But they're not. It's not short for anything.
Harry
Yeah, same thing. Birds of a feather.
Roan
I was telling Ron, I went to the. I went to the. I went to do my passport today like we spoke about.
Francis
Did you? Did you.
Roan
I couldn't. They would. I can't. So I met. I met this. Like my flight's in like a month, three weeks. I can't expedite it because it won't get here in time. And I can't do the emerge like the super expedited process because that's too far away. So they're telling me I have to wait until I'm 14 days away and then go.
Francis
Wow.
Roan
And that feels like it's a little bit of like kind of. We're kind of stressing and stressing this out for now. Like, what if I just go now and then you guys just send it
Francis
to me in three weeks?
Roan
Yeah, like that feels you're a no
Harry
man's land a little bit.
Francis
You gotta send them your flight to prove that that's when you're gone.
Harry
Yeah, that's such whole thing. You know where he's going?
Francis
Birmingham.
Roan
You know, did you guys know Max going to Birmingham too. You're going Mac for Dota Dota 2.
Francis
What's that?
Roan
A game?
Francis
What do you mean?
Roan
It's a competitive. That's why I'm going to Birmingham is for Call of Duty.
Harry
Wait, you're going to film?
Francis
No, I was going for enjoyment.
Harry
You're going for enjoyment? You're going to Birmingham, England for enjoyment?
Roan
Yeah. He's going for do Dota. He's a Dota fan.
Harry
I was telling him the first rap battle I ever had was in or first British rap battle I had was in Birmingham. And it is the worst. It's the worst city in. In all of the globe. In the entire world.
Roan
Yeah, it's. It's gonna suck.
Francis
I think I played in a lacrosse tournament there once.
Harry
Well, we've all been to Brum.
Roan
I don't think they even have grass there.
Francis
Well, we play. I played for the.
Harry
It's like NFL street. Yeah, you just have to play on the concrete.
Francis
I played for the Oxford men's team. And technically you had to be enrolled at the university to play in this because it was a college tournament. And they just lied and said that I was in the college. But we went and we played. I remember we played a number of different universities and a couple of them had like. Each team would have one or two players that had played for national teams.
Roan
Really.
Francis
There was a guy who had played on the Welsh national team. He was pretty good.
Harry
And that's. That's that game that Andrew Decker. Feather off, had three goals, right?
Francis
Andrew? DC D F ADF ADC Guys, my birthday is coming up, which I know is the gayest thing I could possibly say.
Roan
Isn't it in. Aren't you gonna be on the road?
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
How do you know that? So we've just topped the gayest thing by you knowing his birthday plans.
Roan
Because he said that yesterday day. Starting to feel like I'm the only one who really listens around my straight ass.
Harry
Couldn't. Couldn't be bothered.
Francis
I guess my question is for. Should I. Should I acknowledge my birthday at all? I think it's been. I think it's been like, maybe five years since I even had anyone sing Happy Birthday to me.
Roan
Yeah, I'm not.
Francis
Maybe even longer. I don't need anyone to. But I think I'm getting to a point now where, like, I'm just dying. I think. I think my. So many birthdays in a row have gone by without any acknowledgment or a blowing out of a candle or a cupcake or a present or a blow job of any kind, whatever.
Harry
You know, it will blow you.
Francis
No one has there. It's been so long since someone was appreciative of that I was alive on my birthday that I actually think I'M dying.
Roan
Birthdays are overrated, you know? Get yourself some jeans.
Francis
That's what I tell myself every. Come on, man.
Harry
You know that was a gift.
Francis
He was fine.
Roan
What the hell?
Francis
Now the real Kevin Stevens is dead.
Harry
Yeah, this is a voodoo doll. He was. Also, his head keeps on falling off and getting Ichabod craned back on you. I think if you people started celebrating it too much out of nowhere, that would really feel like you're dying. You'd be like, whoa, what's this?
Francis
Yeah, you need us.
Harry
You need to just go to a restaurant where they sing to you.
Francis
I don't want that. I don't even need the singing. I just. I'm. And by the way, I actually don't know if this is what I want. I am wondering in your opinions if this is something that I should do. Should I. Should I plan something? Should I tell anyone?
Harry
Why don't we plan?
Francis
My birthday's coming up. Yeah, let's go.
Harry
Let's go to 4 Charles.
Francis
You guys want to go to 4 Charles?
Harry
Can we. Can we take. Can you take us to take you to dinner?
Francis
Yeah, I could do that.
Harry
You make the Fort Charles reservation. You use your connections there. Because we don't have any, but we take you.
Roan
Yeah, I'll go.
Francis
Would you go?
Roan
Absolutely. To Fort Charles?
Harry
To Fort Charles.
Roan
That'd be so declining a 4 Charles offer.
Francis
I wonder.
Harry
What about the. What about the men from your. From your Harvard club? Couldn't those boys come together and sing you a little barbershop quartet or something like that?
Francis
Kids. They all have kids. I've learned people with kids are. They're too busy. They don't have the ability to, like, be as social, you know, It's a damn shame round.
Harry
I just like the kids. I let him fend for himself, if you know what I mean.
Francis
My. My friends, I don't see them anymore. And I know this is like, everybody says this, but I. I almost feel bad asking them to do anything because I know that they're to do so means that they're like, you just have
Harry
to start planning now, though.
Francis
Permission from their wives and then leaving them at home to deal with.
Roan
And their wives are definitely pissed.
Francis
Like, people ask me to do anything. People ask me to do stuff. And they're. And if I say no, they're. They'll. They're mad at me. Me. They're like, you don't have anything going on.
Roan
That's annoying. That would piss me off.
Francis
Now, they. They respect that I have a lot of work, but they know That I don't have anything socially happening.
Harry
That's so mean of them.
Francis
But I'm old enough that I don't really need social stuff to happen. Which is again, what brings us back to my birthday. Should that be the one day of the year where I actually go do something planned?
Roan
You could have, like, chat gbt saying you happy birthday.
Francis
I could do that.
Harry
You're gonna kill yourself on your birthday, but that's okay.
Francis
I think that to me, is.
Roan
Nothing wrong with that.
Francis
The perfect day, too.
Roan
To end it too dramatic.
Francis
Just from a. Oh, it's tight. Like, the numbers are clean. He lived exactly 37 years to the
Roan
day, almost to the hour.
Francis
How old was he when he died? 37.0. He was 37.0.
Roan
Yeah, I like that. I like that.
Francis
Yeah, that's nice.
Roan
I wouldn't do that. I would. I'm not advocating for that.
Harry
Is that. Are you sure you want four Charles? Maybe we could find another place.
Francis
I would go. Whatever. I don't. I don't even know what we need to do.
Harry
Let's go to Sema. Let's get something spicy. Indian.
Francis
I'm genuinely curious. How about atomic Men? Who don't. Because a wife will be nice to you and. Or whatever, she'll honor you, the kids, that kind of thing.
Roan
Yeah. Yeah.
Francis
You go out. Oh, we're going out for your birthday. I'm treating you. Whatever. I don't know. I'm just like, that's. That day's gonna happen, and. And it'll be the next day. And I'll be like, oh, my birthday was yesterday. That's what it's gonna be like. I'm an orphan.
Harry
Yeah, I forgot.
Francis
Like, I'm Harry Potter.
Roan
I mean, that's pretty much how my birthdays are. It's like, my mom texts, my parents will call me, and then that's really it. Just go on with the day. What.
Harry
What would make you feel most appreciated on your birthday?
Francis
The problem for you is that you don't drink. When you were in your 20s, like, your birthday was like a drinking occasion.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
People would come together. It was an excuse to get up.
Roan
Yeah. Yeah, I guess. On my 21st birthday, I went to Denver. Got blasted.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
You don't need shake face. You don't need cupcakes. You don't need any type of sweets.
Francis
Nah.
Roan
Maybe like, buy. I'll buy a vape on my birthday.
Harry
Maybe a birthday Swedish fish that we just plug a candle into the middle of. We just put a Yankee candle through a Swedish fish.
Roan
That would be Nice.
Harry
What would make you feel appreciated on your birthday?
Francis
I. I don't know. I don't even think I want to feel appreciated.
Roan
You want a gaming laptop.
Francis
I want to feel like I. Like I actually was proactive about celebrating my own life and I don't even need to do that with other people. Maybe it's that I. I don't know. The problem is I treat myself too often.
Roan
Yeah. See, that's my thing, too.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
You buy what you want when you buy it.
Roan
Yeah. And I'm like, well, I don't. I don't deserve anything for my birthday.
Harry
Yeah, well, someone should be doing that for you.
Roan
No one's.
Harry
It should be me and Harry.
Roan
No one's going to get you the thing that you actually want.
Harry
Right. Which is a $3,000 mattress topper.
Roan
Exactly. Gaming laptop or.
Harry
Gaming laptop.
Roan
I can't go to my parents and be like, buy me this multi thousand dollar laptop.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
They're gonna be like, no, definitely not.
Francis
Roan, you made a joke a couple times when I continued. I was on my buying spree. You were like, that's the thing that's gonna make you. And you know what's crazy?
Harry
It works.
Francis
I actually think I bought all the things I need or want. I think I beat the game.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
No way.
Francis
I think I'm there for a little while. I have no cravings.
Roan
No, you'll have them.
Francis
I don't have my eye on anything now. I deleted Facebook from my phone. That was big.
Harry
When?
Francis
I don't know, like a couple weeks ago. Probably around the time that I got bricked. So I'm not. I'm not corresponding with people on Facebook market. The chase was always the problem.
Roan
Yeah, it's the chase.
Francis
I loved the chase.
Harry
Have you bought your spring summer wardrobe for this year yet to look? If so.
Francis
Not really.
Harry
I mean, they're there. It's coming then.
Francis
But I don't even know how to dress for the summer. I really don't. I hate.
Roan
No one does summer.
Francis
Yeah.
Roan
No one knows how.
Francis
It's just impossible to look good.
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
That's not true.
Francis
Unless you're on the Riviera.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
And you're wearing like linen pants with some fucking.
Harry
You're going to look great this summer. Don't even say that.
Roan
Summer's tough. It's a tough time for fits.
Francis
Summer. I just wear bathing. I just wear bathing suits and T shirts. That's it. It.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
I pretty much. In the summer, I'm shirtless. I want to say like 99 of the same time.
Harry
Yeah.
Roan
Especially around tops. Tarps off.
Francis
I've never seen shirless one time in
Roan
my life see me in the summer.
Harry
That is true you guys.
Roan
I like all in the summer. Like I'll walk down, I'll walk to the office. Tarps off. Just flops on.
Francis
Can we delay my birthday my reefs to do a pool party in the summer so that I can see you shirtless?
Roan
No, no. I would wear a. I would wear
Francis
a scuba suit for my birthday. I want to see you shirtless.
Harry
I think that's. I think that's the least you could do.
Francis
That's the one thing that would make for 4 Charles.
Roan
It's unfortunate because I want to give you something nice. And now I know I won't be able to do that if you don't
Francis
take your shirt off for me on my birthday. 37 is my last day on earth.
Roan
That's.
Francis
It's my death day. My birthday is my death day.
Roan
We better start getting the funeral ready then.
Harry
It's like that song how to save a life. That's what it was about One of a boy taking his shirt off for his other boy to save his life.
Francis
If. If we're preparing for my funeral. I want you to pay me or pay for my outfit. You're going to get me an outfit for my funeral since you could have saved my life.
Roan
No.
Francis
And it's going to be a spring summer outfit.
Roan
I'm not taking my shirt off. And I'm not buying an outfit either.
Harry
He's going to put you in those Stan Smiths that he's wearing right now. And some dumbass patriots pullover.
Francis
It's just tough man. Feel like I'm just suggesting fun things right now for Harry.
Roan
Look, I got a lot of. I'd go to for Charles. I would give you a gaming laptop for free.
Francis
You have to wear a shirt at Fort Charles Charles. It's dressy there.
Roan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Santi shirt. You gotta wear a shirt.
Francis
Would you dress like this for four Chuck?
Roan
No.
Francis
You put on something a little.
Harry
Use the fedora maybe probably get the fedora out.
Francis
How good of Harry. That fedoras are in.
Roan
Oh yeah.
Francis
Not. No. Your. Your newsboy cat.
Roan
Yeah, that's me.
Francis
That's not a fedora.
Roan
Right. That's all me.
Francis
And they're in because of that show JFK junior The JFK junior And Harry was wearing the newsboy cap before that show came out.
Roan
Exactly.
Francis
You had it.
Harry
You were sucking off the. The Kennedy family for a minute. They were sucking me off the schlossberg family.
Roan
They were sucking off the boy.
Harry
Yeah. You're tapped in.
Roan
I'm tapped in.
Harry
The Bouvier family.
Francis
I'm enjoying this. I don't. I don't think we should stop.
Roan
I have to pee pretty bad.
Francis
Well, go ahead. You guys wanted to stop.
Harry
No, I don't. You don't have to stop at all. I'm gonna. Oh, it's 4:22. Yeah, I got time.
Francis
I'm so much more comfortable than I've ever been on the show.
Harry
Yeah, it's so nice. I feel like you took a Xanax.
Francis
This is so much better for me.
Harry
Someone plug my phone in. I'd love to keep going. I'll plug it in for a second. I'll text my wife that she needs to fucking tend to the youth.
Francis
Oh, come on.
Harry
No, it's. What's her. It's her job. I win the bread. Bread. I have to be out here winning the bread. I'd love to get into. And I could see this being up your alley. Like a bread making. Like I saw somebody make a cinnamon swirl loaf and I was like, I'd like for that to be a hobby of mine.
Francis
I admire that. But my problem is that I don't eat bread.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
So I can't really get into that hobby.
Harry
It is a white girl activity for sure.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
But I don't mind. I don't mind talking to my inner white woman.
Francis
Do you think that there's such a thing as trying to pursue too many different skills such that you lose the point of life?
Harry
No, I think in the Renaissance that's what they were doing.
Francis
Well, that is always how I have directed my life is to try to be as well rounded as possible.
Harry
That's what. That's how knights live their lives.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
So you're just being a modern day knight with no one to battle.
Francis
I'm telling you, if I had lived in the 1500s, I would have had my pick of the hottest 14 year olds easily. Absolutely anyone I want.
Harry
But the problem is no refrigeration. You wouldn't. They wouldn't keep. The 14 year olds would go. Would go spoiled.
Francis
That's true.
Harry
They would go rotten.
Francis
How did they. When did ice become a thing?
Harry
I think they were just salting the 14 year olds. Jesus.
Francis
They were curing them.
Harry
They had to cure the 14 year olds of what? No, not of anything.
Francis
Could we look up when the. When ice first. I mean, how would you have gotten ice in the warmer months? In medieval times, they did not have it.
Harry
It was not available
Francis
1850s was when ice was available. And how. How'd they get it? They would. They would make it. Or would they bring it in from really cold places? They'd bring it in.
Harry
And where would they send it when they were done with it?
Francis
1968. They. They did what? Oh, they'd make the ice in 1968. Got it. Got it. Wait a minute.
Roan
Yeah, that's.
Harry
That's when they went on. The people landed on the moon.
Francis
That can't be. They were. They were. Had ice before 1960. 1960. They were making.
Harry
It says in medieval.
Francis
They had.
Roan
They made, like, ice houses. Shaded areas.
Harry
We're talking straw. They had ice houses in medieval times.
Francis
Oh, okay. I see. Yeah.
Roan
Interesting.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
He said he would have had the hottest 14 year old in medieval times, but there was no refrigeration because I
Francis
was so well rounded, because he's a true Renaissance man, that I would have had my pick of.
Roan
Pick of the letter.
Francis
The most pretty, eligible wife, 14 year old in the land.
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
You would have been the laziest radish farmer in the 1500s, definitely. You would have been a surf on the outskirts of the kingdom, having to pick radish because it was the life that you were born into.
Francis
You would have been dirty. You know, you'd break into song like, poor me, poor me, I can't afford a little piece of bread.
Roan
I don't know if I know that one.
Francis
That's your singing.
Roan
Oh, I see. I see. I think I missed out on some of this.
Harry
We're talking about when they started ice, and then Francis wanted to abolish ice. Here we are.
Francis
This is it.
Roan
Interesting. Interesting.
Harry
You know, Francis is platinum already.
Roan
I did know that.
Francis
Yeah. Nice.
Roan
Yeah, it's not bad.
Francis
I'm already plat.
Harry
Shiny. That's. That's reason enough to. To live through the year 37.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
I wonder how early I'll get diamond this year. The best I've ever done, I think, was, like, October, maybe when the book is done.
Harry
Are you gonna go right to Japan? You should. Or maybe when it comes out, you should go right to Japan. I feel like that's something Kanye would do.
Francis
I have this dream of bringing a really expensive bottle of wine to Dave and finishing the book and pulling it out and being like, what do you say, old boy?
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
And him being like, I don't drink.
Roan
Yeah. I don't drink wine.
Harry
No. He has a great. He's a great wine cellar at his house.
Francis
He does.
Harry
You're gonna be in the. I mean, you should wear the. The Meta glasses into his house. Got to map it out. Yeah, map that out, like.
Roan
And you don't even have to say you're just sending it to your boys. Yeah, I don't even have to put it online. But then you're sending it to my
Francis
friends, like, posting this to my close friends.
Roan
Yeah, yeah.
Harry
And then you do. But you do put it online.
Roan
Yeah.
Harry
You rack up the.
Francis
Yeah. Should I do anything down there?
Roan
Should I go fishing in Miami?
Francis
In the Keys?
Roan
In the Keys.
Harry
In Islamorada.
Roan
Go fishing with Dave. Well, he's got rods.
Francis
I don't know. That seems like asking a lot.
Harry
Well, go fish with Dave. He's got shotguns.
Roan
I mean, that's got to be. That's a great time to write out on the water.
Francis
This is where Hemingway spent a lot of time, in the Keys. Of course, I've never spent any time down there.
Roan
Oh, yeah.
Francis
Big.
Harry
Have you ever been to Key West?
Francis
I don't think so.
Harry
I was quite underwhelmed. There were some cute spots, but it's like. It's so Florida that it doesn't have this, like, castaway charm. It's like a beltway ring around that has Popeyes and Dunkin donuts and shit. Like, what? I thought I was gonna ride around on golf courses and, like, watch someone paint iguanas under a palm tree.
Roan
I've never been. Never been to the Keys. I've been to Captiva.
Francis
That's way farther.
Harry
That's.
Roan
I don't know.
Francis
That's on the Gulf Coast. On the Gulf Coast?
Harry
Yeah. The left coast, the west coast, the best coast.
Roan
Yeah.
Francis
What about. Is there a nice part of the Keys? Is there a good part there?
Harry
Probably where Dave lives. And there's probably really nice parts of Key west that I just wasn't.
Roan
Definitely.
Francis
Dude, Key west is a full two hours from Dave's home.
Harry
Why the. Is he at where he's at? He just wants to be an hour and a half out of Miami.
Francis
I don't know.
Roan
I don't even know how he gets from Miami.
Francis
There must be a private airport near there, right?
Harry
He probably likes to drive, too. Clear his mind.
Roan
I think he's got his own Runway in the front yard.
Harry
I heard he's taking the ocean.
Francis
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Harry
He's taking cigarette boats. Like a cocaine smuggler. Like a cocaine cowboy. Yeah.
Roan
That would be hilarious to see Dave just, like, riding, like, one of those pirates, standing on it.
Harry
Francis.
Francis
Good.
Roan
All right.
Francis
All right.
Roan
Should we wrap this up?
Francis
Yeah, we can wrap.

Date: March 5, 2026
Hosts: Lil Sasquatch (Sass), Rone, Harry, Francis
Producer: Barstool Sports
This episode is a quintessential freewheeling Son of a Boy Dad hangout, mixing gym talk, manhood, and male health with offbeat tangents: household appliances, poorly made milks, the absurdity of adulthood, and spiraling midlife existentialism. Dropout Sass looks for “guidance” from his co-hosts/producers, notably Rone and Francis, on how to navigate life, define masculinity, and form healthy routines. “Present Tuesday” makes an appearance, listeners get the lowdown on the hazards of modern health products, and the gang debates what it truly means to be a man—complete with deadpan jokes about serial killers, awkward birthdays, and a deep dive on the social age limit for tickling.
On the futility of planning at the gym:
“You just go based on whatever people aren’t using. You’re like, ok, I guess I’m doing that today.” (07:00, Roan)
On aging & stretching:
“This is the difference in being 36, 37 to 24—stretching.” (04:54, Francis)
On quitting vaping:
“You know what they say about quitting vaping. It’s how many times you do it, not for how long.” (11:16, Francis)
Francis on the perfect alternative milk:
“…it was pistachio milk…looks like ceiling cloth…tough to steam, tough to texture. My latte art was not good.” (16:02, Francis)
On “Present Tuesday”—gift giving ritual:
“This is like a Horcrux…we have to put your two things together.” (22:09, Harry)
“This is almost like a war crime of some sort.” (24:08, Roan)
On being labeled a “serial killer” by online fans:
“It’s like, oh, you don’t think that guy over there…unkempt, doesn’t smell good…that guy’s the one killing people.” (36:00, Francis)
On birthday loneliness:
“It’s been so long since someone was appreciative that I was alive on my birthday that I actually think I’m dying.” (79:34, Francis)
On tickling as an adult:
“If I tried to tickle Harry right now, he would end the podcast… [Tickling] definitely becomes assault after a certain age.” (72:35, Francis / 72:18, Francis)
“It’s a runaway train of tickling.” (74:49, Harry)
Consistently irreverent, self-deprecating, and playfully masculine. The episode is rich in deadpan, callback repetition, and stream-of-consciousness humor. There’s an undercurrent of mock philosophy and failed adulthood, but always with a wink and a punchline. The group’s dynamic allows for periodic vulnerability (mostly from Francis), but always deflected into comic absurdity.
If you missed this episode, you didn’t miss structured argument—rather, you missed the joy of three (sometimes four) dudes riffing unfiltered about everything from gym flops to broken bobbleheads to the whining loneliness of adult birthdays. Sass’s “rudderlessness” is a running theme, but he’s surrounded by (allegedly) wiser men who teach him nothing and everything at the same time. “The Tickle Monster” delivers prime Son of a Boy Dad: off-kilter, hilarious, sometimes dark, often oddly insightful, and above all relentlessly unserious about the serious stuff.
