The Yak – April 3, 2026

Episode: Nick and KB Look Back On Their Rugged West Virginia Upbringing

---

Overview

In this lively episode of The Yak, the core Barstool crew — including Kyle "KBNoSwag" Bauer, Nick, Kate, Julio Gallarotti, Ed, Danny, Liam, and Lucas — gather for their trademark blend of banter, storytelling, and ribbing. While the episode jumps across many topics, it highlights the nature of nostalgia, regional stereotypes, and the peculiarities of growing up in West Virginia. Noteworthy tangents include family dynamics, collecting (or discarding) personal artifacts, vacation overstays, odd game show concepts, collegiate tennis drama, and road trips to national parks. True to form, the show's tone is candid, self-deprecating, and irreverent.

Final Notes & Theme

This episode, while freewheeling, circles back repeatedly to one central theme: how our environment—where we grew up, what we keep or throw away, and the ways we connect (or don’t) with family and friends—shapes both our nostalgia and our sense of self. The Yak crew turns even the most personal topics into fodder for comedy, dissecting awkwardness, social faux pas, and the minutiae of barstool life with their signature absurdity and warmth.

---

For diehard fans or casual listeners alike, this episode embodies the best of The Yak: humor, personal reflection, friendly teasing, and a parade of random but unforgettable stories.

Standout Quote:

“If you're the common denominator and everywhere smells like fart, it might be you.” – Blutman (28:54)

Finding them a forever home. It's a no brainer. I had a can this morning. Nothing more, nothing less. One's enough. The competitors, you know, it's either too much or too little. And Stella Blue does it right.

[Kate]

Wow, they really do.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Beautiful.

[Blutman]

Well said.

[Kyle Bowers]

Caffeine doesn't get talked about as like one of the best drugs of all.

[Liam]

Number one.

[Kyle Bowers]

It might be number one.

[Kate]

It's become my. It's like my everything now that I can't do the other drugs.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, but even what age compared to the other ones? Like it's so reliable.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

At what age can you go back to the. The real. The real. At what age like your kids when you.

[Kate]

I would like to allow myself once a year at a festival far away from them, you know, maybe to dabble. Don't quote me on that. Live on air. As the mother of two. I think once they're away at college, you can start really dabbling again.

[Blutman]

Okay. Right.

[Kyle Bowers]

We should normalize. Parents dabbling.

[Kate]

Just.

[Kyle Bowers]

Just responsibly.

[Kate]

Just one toe.

[Kyle Bowers]

They're the ones who should.

[Kate]

Yeah, we're the ones who need it probably more than anyone.

[Blutman]

That's right.

[Danny]

Are you talking uppers or hallucinogens?

[Kate]

Maybe a little both.

[Blutman]

Oh, Kate.

[Kate]

Maybe. Maybe just one piece of a mushroom chocolate bar. When you're several hundred miles away from

[Julio Gallarotti]

them, just make sure you don't get the wrong piece.

[Kate]

Just don't get the wrong Piece.

[Blutman]

It worked out well.

[Kyle Bowers]

Let it melt in your pocket or let it melt in your pocket.

[Blutman]

Don't let it melt in your pocket.

[Danny]

And don't change your Twitter name after.

[Kate]

Don't take it right. Don't get in a hot tub. And don't tweet Elon Musk directly. Tell you that much. And then don't change your handle to your only fans.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, that was psilocybin induced.

[Kate]

Yeah, big time. Big time.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, you must have felt great in the moment.

[Kate]

It was incredible. I was flying high. I thought my. I thought I like, got him. I was like, this is gonna end. Elon Musk.

[Ed]

Where was it? Where were you?

[Kate]

I was. My cousins have a place in New Buffalo. We do. We do cousins weekends a few times a year if we can swing it. So. Yeah, okay.

[Blutman]

No, I'm jealous that you're close with your cousins. I don't even have any of my cousin's phone number.

[Kate]

As soon as this show's done, I'm getting in the car, going to meet him in Indiana.

[Blutman]

Don't have a single cousin's phone number.

[Julio Gallarotti]

How many cousins do you have?

[Blutman]

Six, seven.

[Julio Gallarotti]

None of their numbers.

[Blutman]

Didn't mean to do that. None.

[Kate]

Are they a lot older than you or something?

[Blutman]

Not really.

[Kyle Bowers]

There's like pretty much his peers. Red Flag, terrifying town.

[Kate]

Good people.

[Kyle Bowers]

I like them.

[Kate]

Really. Do you have any other numbers of his cousin's numbers?

[Blutman]

Do you talk to your cousins?

[Kyle Bowers]

No.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kate]

What?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, it's not. Nothing against them. We always get along when we see each other. It just know I like them. There's just so.

[Blutman]

Hell, I love them. I don't have any other numbers.

[Kate]

It's good networking.

[Kyle Bowers]

You got a counselor?

[Danny]

Them. Yeah, but like, I even have some of my enemies phone numbers. You don't have your own cousin's phone number?

[Ed]

No.

[Danny]

Like, that's hard.

[Julio Gallarotti]

How do you see them?

[Blutman]

Like Christmas, maybe.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But who facilitates like. Like the older generation facilitates it?

[Blutman]

Yeah, my mom, mom and daddy. And they'll bring me to my grandma's on Christmas and I'll see them. I'm real shy. I'm real shy around them.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Why?

[Blutman]

I don't know. I don't know. They're like a couple years older.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Do they have stuff to say about what you're up to?

[Blutman]

No, no, no.

[Julio Gallarotti]

They're not like, oh, mister. Mr. Barstool, congrats.

[Blutman]

Does sound like something my cousin Johnny would say, actually. Yeah. You know him?

[Kyle Bowers]

That's what I would get.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Mr. Barstool Mr. No, no, that's what I got.

[Kate]

I chopped my name from Katie to Kate for barstool. And they're like, oh, Miss Big Time. It's like a big deal.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, people don't like it. People don't like a name amendment in adulthood.

[Blutman]

Well, the guy from Always Sunny did it way too late and way too after fame.

[Kate]

What'd he do?

[Blutman]

He's Rob Mack now.

[Kate]

Oh, no, you can't do that.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, that's less weird than if he was just Robert.

[Blutman]

Yeah, yeah, but just be going by Rob Mack is. It's a little late. You're already famous. You're already established. You don't need to do that.

[Kyle Bowers]

I didn't know he did that.

[Ed]

What about Giancarlo Stanton to.

[Blutman]

From Mike? Yeah, as long as it gets a little sexier, I'm fine with it. Going from Mike to Giancarlo.

[Kyle Bowers]

That's what he did.

[Ed]

Yes.

[Kyle Bowers]

Like, as a stage name.

[Ed]

Yeah, he was Mike Stanton with the.

[Kyle Bowers]

Is Giancarlo his middle name?

[Ed]

That.

[Danny]

I don't know.

[Blutman]

I don't know either.

[Kate]

Yeah, that's.

[Kyle Bowers]

That is his name.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Or is this like, you know, Kareem Abdul Jabbar situation?

[Blutman]

Right. Was it a religious switch?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Though.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Ed]

I'm actually pretty anti people who go by their middle names.

[Blutman]

Brandon.

[Ed]

Yeah. Like, I think that's

[Blutman]

Giancarlo Cruz. Michael Stanton.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Wow.

[Kate]

Oh, okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

He just got two full names.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Lucas]

Two.

[Blutman]

Yeah, he has two. Two first names, two last names, no middle until 12.

[Julio Gallarotti]

What the.

[Kate]

Brandon Walker does that?

[Ed]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Blutman]

A lot of people do the big

[Ed]

Southern thing, I believe.

[Blutman]

Yeah. Just go by, like.

[Ed]

Why don't you just. What's wrong with your first name?

[Blutman]

As for your middle name, I found out your last name probably less than a year ago.

[Ed]

Knock my socks off at the bba.

[Blutman]

Yeah, you were just like, I'm Eddie Farrar. And I was like, what the. Yeah, but you. And I said, what's your middle? And you said, I have to earn that.

[Ed]

Did I say that? That day? Yeah, you've earned it.

[Blutman]

What is it?

[Danny]

Well, isn't it Clarence?

[Blutman]

No, Francis. Ed. Clarence. Ed Francis. No, you.

[Danny]

It has to be something kind of embarrassing, otherwise you would just tell us like a normal person.

[Blutman]

That would be awesome.

[Kyle Bowers]

That would be.

[Ed]

It's actually Scooter.

[Danny]

No, it's.

[Blutman]

It's not Ed. Scooter.

[Ed]

I wish. I always say it's that. No, it's Clarence.

[Blutman]

Okay, got it.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Ed.

[Blutman]

Clarence.

[Danny]

Cuz 8 mile.

[Ed]

Yeah. No, it's Edward Clarence. Sounds like the prince of where Kyle? I don't Know. Doesn't that sound bad?

[Blutman]

I think.

[Kyle Bowers]

No, no, dude. It sounds pretty good.

[Kate]

You like that strong?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I like it a lot.

[Blutman]

Dude, you might be a phony.

[Ed]

Why?

[Blutman]

You might be this Chicago born and bred everyman, but I think deep down there's like a. A pompous dick. Yeah, he's a dude fan. Edward Clarence Ferrar, dude. Yeah. And you're just like, nah, I'm gonna. I'm touring dive bars. Irish. No, dude, embrace your roots. You need to link up with Francis Ellis.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Kate]

When he gets off work, he changes into pleated cat.

[Blutman]

Yeah, right. Exactly like Mr. Rogers.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

You should just embrace it, man.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

I mean, you have a taste for the finer things,

[Ed]

I would say. Some nice things I enjoy. Yeah.

[Kate]

You are like a man about town.

[Blutman]

You're a spa guy. You're a treatment guy.

[Ed]

Not really. I like.

[Kate]

They do say that.

[Blutman]

Here comes the man about town.

[Ed]

Could be worse things. Why? Have you ever asked Francis why he goes by Francis? Does anyone?

[Kate]

I mean, instead of Frank? That's Francis. Francis.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, like, what else would he call himself?

[Ed]

Frank.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Right.

[Ed]

Like I thought.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, interesting. Do that.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I don't know.

[Blutman]

Like, is every Frank a Francis?

[Danny]

No.

[Blutman]

No, you're not born a Frank.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I think they're born Frank.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Frank Fleming's Francis.

[Kate]

Most.

[Blutman]

Frankie Francis is Frankie Borelli Francis.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Frankie Russo is a Frank.

[Blutman]

He's born Frank.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yes.

[Blutman]

You can't name a baby Frank.

[Ed]

Francesco. Francesco.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Maybe I should go by my middle name. That was a mistake on my part.

[Blutman]

What's yours?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Christian. It's just way easier than my actual name.

[Blutman]

Julio Gallarotti.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Julio Gallerati. Christian Gallarotti would have been great.

[Blutman]

Chris Gallarotti.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Chris Gallarotti.

[Blutman]

I don't know. Julio's pretty. Julio stands out. But people probably think it's Julio.

[Julio Gallarotti]

People think it's Julio. People can't spell it. It's just. It ends up being difficult for me. But whatever you guys like Julia.

[Blutman]

I like Julio.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I appreciate it.

[Blutman]

I like when people call you G. And I. I only probably do it every 50 times I say your name.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Really?

[Blutman]

I. And I get nervous.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You get nervous. It's like the cousins.

[Blutman]

It's weird. I think we're close now, but when I first met you, you can't just drop somebody's nickname immediately.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Right, right, right. I would have been fine with it, but I understand.

[Blutman]

Yeah, I understand.

[Ed]

What made you want to drop the Katie?

[Kate]

It just one syllable, chaps. When I first started here was like, you need barstool in your handle. And then just Short name. So I was like, barstool. Katie is a little too. Too much.

[Danny]

Yeah. I got to take that one eye out.

[Kate]

Classic. I think I wasn't known at all before. So he's like, you need barstool in your handle.

[Blutman]

All right, Kate. Barstool. I think UPS encourages people to try to one syllable their name so everybody can like talk to them.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Really?

[Blutman]

I don't think you'll ever see. You won't see a two syllable UPS driver.

[Kate]

Like people in the neighborhood can talk to him.

[Blutman]

Yeah, like anybody. It's like an easy name to say for anybody.

[Kate]

I actually love our UPS driver. That's Tom.

[Blutman]

Yeah, he's.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Find me a two syllable UPS driver.

[Kate]

Got a kid. My kids. Very friendly. Huh.

[Ed]

The guy I had in the podcast, his name was Robert. So what was.

[Blutman]

What did it say on his shirt?

[Ed]

It's a good question. I. I will have to ask him.

[Danny]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Robert.

[Ed]

Robert. He got stuck up, dude. They put him in the back of the truck.

[Blutman]

What?

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

A UPS driver that got robbed.

[Ed]

Yeah. This was years ago.

[Blutman]

They put him in the back of the truck?

[Ed]

Yeah, dude.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Jesus.

[Kate]

That's when I was a driver helper. The truck in the a, like area next to us, it was like Christmas Eve or the day before Christmas Eve got shot.

[Ed]

Yeah. It's up. Yeah.

[Blutman]

Why would you shoot a delivery truck?

[Kate]

To steal all the. In the truck. Like to take over the truck.

[Blutman]

Why would they put him in the back of the truck? Why don't they just toss them out?

[Ed]

I don't know. They just, just bound them up and they put them in the back.

[Blutman]

He was bound.

[Ed]

Oh, yeah. They bounded his ass. Yeah.

[Blutman]

God damn.

[Kate]

I think around the holidays especially, it gets dicey because they know it's like

[Blutman]

trucks full of presents.

[Ed]

PSA 10 scythers, probably.

[Blutman]

God, that's the dream. Hit the mother load. Ed's turning into a Pokemon guy. He brought his cards in.

[Kyle Bowers]

Everyone is.

[Blutman]

Yeah, but the next lawan, they're saying, don't.

[Ed]

You can't give me more than. Well, no offense to Taylor, but Taylor is. He's buying them now.

[Blutman]

He's the face of the hobby.

[Ed]

That's exactly. He gives you advice?

[Blutman]

Yeah, he does. He tells me what to hold and what to sell.

[Ed]

I just found old ones.

[Kate]

What got you into it?

[Ed]

I. I liked it as a kid and I'm. My parents are moving, so I'm cleaning out their house. So I just found my old ones. And I've just been kind of super into like, what do I have? And I just wanted Nick to look at them. So that's the extent.

What else do you find in the house? Anything good?

[Ed]

Oh, my God. Just a bunch of dumb.

[Ed]

Like so many random espn the magazines that I still have that I don't know why I do. You know, just like that, though.

[Kate]

[Blutman]

[Ed]

I. I imagine that.

[Kyle Bowers]

Garbage.

[Blutman]

You have to have some sentimental things.

[Kyle Bowers]

All of my keepsakes. Garbage.

[Ed]

Any Kent State memorabilia?

[Kyle Bowers]

None.

[Ed]

Zero.

[Kyle Bowers]

Zero.

[Blutman]

Any old wrestling singlets?

[Kyle Bowers]

None.

[Blutman]

Dude, I. I'm the exact. I keep one thing from every rediscovering. And I have a little shelf.

[Kyle Bowers]

I throw everything away. Even, like the big. I bought.

[Danny]

Really?

[Blutman]

Yeah, Just toss it.

[Kyle Bowers]

Right.

[Ed]

Is there anything you regret throwing away?

[Kyle Bowers]

No, no. I don't think about items.

[Ed]

No.

[Kyle Bowers]

No.

[Blutman]

But like, what about the memories when you look at them? Because that's what I like.

[Kyle Bowers]

I have them stored. I'm good at.

[Blutman]

Yeah, but sometimes you need a little boost.

[Kyle Bowers]

No, I don't like items. I like concepts, theories.

[Blutman]

So is your place pretty bare bones?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, it's getting spiced up with like, a lot of, like, floral and pink and tropical, so it looks like. It looks like a woman's place, but I'm fine with that.

[Ed]

Sure.

[Kyle Bowers]

I like to feel like I'm in a woman's place.

[Blutman]

It's sick.

[Kyle Bowers]

It's cool.

[Blutman]

It makes you feel cool. Like, oh, I'm at a girl's place right now.

[Kyle Bowers]

I'm like, yeah.

[Blutman]

Every time I go home, I'm thinking, that.

[Kyle Bowers]

Dude.

[Blutman]

Oh, my God.

[Kyle Bowers]

It feels amazing.

[Blutman]

Perfumes. I'm at a chick's place, right?

[Kyle Bowers]

The pineapple mural. And like the.

[Blutman]

You have a pineapple mural?

[Kyle Bowers]

Blue flower.

[Blutman]

You're really Hawaii pilled. You. You love the island.

[Kyle Bowers]

Nothing better. It changed my life.

[Blutman]

Think you'll live there one day?

[Kyle Bowers]

No, I think I'd be miserable there.

[Blutman]

Oh.

[Kyle Bowers]

I think everything that's awesome is like, you get 30 days and then

[Danny]

you're sick of it.

[Kyle Bowers]

Then it's yeah, like everyone like dreams of like, oh, I wish I could retire and lay by the beach and do nothing all day. You would do that for 20ish days and then want to kill yourself? Wow, I could be proven wrong. You, you men, men need to advance.

[Blutman]

Yeah, we need to conquer.

[Kyle Bowers]

Do you think you could do vacation for like.

[Blutman]

Dude, my years, my limit for vacation is like four to five days.

[Kyle Bowers]

Not even a full week. People act like the dream, I'm ready

[Blutman]

to get home to like, you know,

[Kyle Bowers]

be in a tropical destination and just do nothing.

[Blutman]

I feel like you had like a beach bungalow in San Diego. That would be pretty sick.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, but then, but what would you do?

[Blutman]

Yeah, nothing.

[Kyle Bowers]

Imagine three months in, you'd have to make some friends.

[Kate]

I lived a block from the beach in San Diego for like a year and a half and it ruled.

[Kyle Bowers]

But you were to say but like

[Blutman]

what was your like day to day?

[Kate]

I mean but after, after work.

[Kyle Bowers]

You worked.

[Kate]

I worked. But what was the job? Every day? Surfing. Military, right?

[Blutman]

That's pretty big.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, you were.

[Blutman]

That's we're talking about. You had a job, relaxing and retiring. You were a troop.

[Kate]

Yeah, but there a street fair every Thursday night shout out Oceanside. We went surfing. We had a little surfing. We cruise all around like. Yeah, you could walk every.

[Blutman]

But like if you weren't working, would you lose your mind?

[Kate]

We like were at the beach 24 7. We never got tired.

[Kyle Bowers]

I might be spewing a coping mechanism, but I feel like these like independently wealthy guys who talk about how they, they made it and they can do nothing for the rest of their life. I don't think they. Oh, they're miserable.

[Kate]

Yeah. No, it's not happiness.

[Kyle Bowers]

They become racist. They rape.

[Blutman]

Yeah, yeah. Right at that 25 day mark.

[Danny]

All right.

[Julio Gallarotti]

That type of guy.

[Blutman]

Racist.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, I just make up types of guys about it.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Dude.

[Kyle Bowers]

Dude, these, you're never meeting these guys. Tech, multi millionaires.

[Blutman]

You say it. With such constitution.

[Kyle Bowers]

They're miserable, they're depressed and they're evil and they're having no fun.

[Kate]

I do think there's a difference though. Like vacation, super vacation. Heavy areas like San Diego is more like people just live there. So it's more. Felt more normal living there. I think living in a super vacation zone would make you crazy. Like the traffic, the tourists or whatever, the seasonal.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, I mean I would still love to live in San Diego eventually.

[Kate]

Minus all the rapists and the millionaires.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, that's your like spot that you

[Kyle Bowers]

think of standing like it is statistically the standard. If you're talking about actual major cities in the U.S. if you, like, take all the metrics that people look at for quality of life. Weather, urbanism, things to do, food. Yeah.

[Kate]

Good train line. Public transportation's fun.

[Kyle Bowers]

It has all of that people, public transportation.

[Julio Gallarotti]

It's a good town. It's a good town.

[Kate]

Julia, what's the longest you've ever been somewhere?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I think my limit for vacation is probably between 10 and 14 days. If, like, if I've ever been. I've gone on a vacation longer than that once in my life, and it was too long.

[Blutman]

Where was it?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Honeymoon. 18 days too long.

[Blutman]

That's weight. And, like, you're on your honeymoon. It's supposed to be bliss and love you, probably you're in a hotel. I'd imagine I would get into a fight. Day seven, I think I don't.

[Julio Gallarotti]

We may have gotten in one. It was pretty smooth sailing in that department. But, like, we ended up. We were in Chile. We went to Santiago a couple times in between. And, like, it's weird to be in a city where everybody's just going to work while you're on your honeymoon. Yeah, it, like, starts. It, like, makes you feel like, you know, I mean, I'm like, oh, this is like, not a place people come on vacation. Santiago, we went around Chile. It was amazing. But, like, yeah, we both were like, this is too long.

[Kate]

Yeah, too long.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But, I mean, grateful to have been able to do it. But I think 10 days is probably the sweet spot if I have the time.

[Kate]

Damn you, Ed.

[Blutman]

Where's your bougie ass like to go?

[Ed]

I. I've only been to, like, Mexico and Turkey.

[Blutman]

Oh, yeah. Okay.

[Ed]

That's it.

[Blutman]

Do you like being abroad? Are you a home? You're a homebody?

[Danny]

He's a man.

[Ed]

I mean, I like to. I like to domestically travel.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Ed]

But, yeah, I wouldn't say there's. I wouldn't say I loved it.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Ed]

But I'm willing to try it again.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Favorite domestic destinations.

[Ed]

I I.

[Blutman]

Don't say it, Eddie. Don't say it.

[Ed]

What am I gonna say?

[Danny]

Don't say the bay.

[Ed]

Oh. Oh, yeah. Putting base.

[Blutman]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[Kate]

That's.

[Danny]

No, that's no place for an Edward Clarence.

[Ed]

No, it's a great spot. I, I dude. Ever. I know you guys all hate Vegas. I do love Vegas.

[Kyle Bowers]

Me too. I love it.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I like it, too.

[Ed]

Oh, you do?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Oh, I thought I is a nick. You hate Vegas.

[Blutman]

I was pretty indifferent. I think Vegas is a little soulless.

[Ed]

Okay.

[Blutman]

But I'm.

[Kyle Bowers]

It's I don't like, like the people and like, it's.

[Blutman]

It's definitely a spectacle.

[Kyle Bowers]

I like spectacles. I like grander. I've said this.

[Ed]

Yeah, I do like Vegas. I'm trying to think where else is, like. I don't know. I feel pretty much anywhere you go, there's. There's somewhere that's cool to check out. But that's the thing about going to Turkey. I'm just not a great world history guy, so I had nothing I wanted to see. But if. If you drop me in Tampa, like, I'm going to Hogan's beach bar in the original Hooters.

[Blutman]

That's just the way that's. Yeah, that's how it goes. But you had white socks. Dave going around teaching you everything, and that was probably nice.

[Ed]

Yeah, he loves it. He. Turkey is like his favorite place on earth.

[Blutman]

That's good.

[Ed]

Yeah. Truly.

[Blutman]

That boggles my mind.

[Ed]

I know. It's crazy.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I'm going to Virginia beach for the first time.

[Kyle Bowers]

Okay. That's an example of like, I was

[Julio Gallarotti]

going to ask how is it Bad.

[Kate]

Think.

[Blutman]

Have fun, man.

[Kyle Bowers]

Why you going? Apologies to whoever.

[Kate]

Think of Janelle from Teen Mom. That's like that vibe, dude.

[Ed]

I heard Jason. A bad spot.

[Kate]

Very bad spot.

[Blutman]

It's very sad what happened.

[Ed]

Sorry, Teen Mom.

[Kyle Bowers]

Don't worry about it.

[Ed]

Sorry.

[Ad Read Announcer]

What's the latest summary? I was actually wondering about him a couple weeks ago.

[Ed]

I haven't seen the latest, but the.

[Kate]

The dad. Original dad has a gofundme for custody of him and he. I think he hit. He was like physically fighting with the mom. Janelle's mom, Barbara. Barbara, Babs. Don't worry about it. Anyway, sorry.

[Ed]

It kind of bums me out that you don't keep anything.

[Kate]

And then who would think that Pharaoh would be the good mom in all this on Janelle.

[Ed]

Oh, did she?

[Kate]

And she's world traveling with her daughter doing great things. Her super goth daughter.

[Danny]

Are they still making new seasons with those same moms?

[Ed]

I think.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Are they a lot of them, but like half Marty.

[Danny]

It's been a decade plus. No.

[Ed]

Half Marty gone.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Yeah. Fairy was just with her daughters.

[Blutman]

Wow.

[Kate]

Nice job.

[Ad Read Announcer]

That cast stopped like maybe like six years ago, I think.

[Kyle Bowers]

I didn't know they were.

[Kate]

I followed them all on social and they.

[Blutman]

I've never watched it.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, I watched some d. Never mind.

[Kate]

Go on, Kyle. Go on.

[Blutman]

No team on side projects.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah. Yeah. It was on a platform that I don't know what our relationship is.

[Blutman]

Oh, is it a streaming service?

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

What's the streaming service Netflix.

[Danny]

You can do.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

What you watch. It was just. It was called like, 8.

[Danny]

Was it age of Attraction?

[Blutman]

Oh, is that the dating show where you don't know the other person's age?

[Kyle Bowers]

Well, yeah, that's the concept. Like, love is blind. Like, they reveal at the end once you, like, commit to them, like, their actual age, but, like, they're seeing each other.

[Kate]

What was the gaps?

[Danny]

Big.

[Kyle Bowers]

There's big gaps, but it's like you're not. Like, you're. You're gonna be shocked. I only watch one episode, but it's like you can see their face and the things they're saying.

[Blutman]

You know who the older one and you know.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blutman]

But like, what's an examp of one of the reveals?

[Kyle Bowers]

I didn't see much.

[Danny]

One episode saw like a carousel on Instagram of all the reactions, and there was a lot bigger age gaps than you would think.

[Ed]

I was locked into this.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Okay, so wait, she is but, like, 51.

[Kyle Bowers]

She's got to be 50s.

[Kate]

No, she's.

[Blutman]

And he's.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I'm 54.

[Danny]

Okay. Oh, see, like, I wouldn't assume that if power him.

[Blutman]

And that's it.

[Kyle Bowers]

Probably 30.

[Blutman]

There you go.

[Danny]

Got your seat belt on?

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

Maybe this is.

[Kate]

What a line. Oh, God.

[Liam]

Yes,

[Julio Gallarotti]

I am.

[Blutman]

Come on.

[Kate]

Now we have to watch.

[Kyle Bowers]

But what would be. What would be truly shocking?

[Blutman]

26.

[Kate]

Yeah, anything even 20s, right?

[Kyle Bowers]

Like, that wouldn't be.

[Ed]

I think he is in the twenties.

[Danny]

Yes. I remember watching everyone and being like, oh, that's either way older than I thought or way younger than I thought.

[Lucas]

Yeah. There's a video with all of them.

[Danny]

We're gonna find.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah. Oh, you guys all love it.

[Julio Gallarotti]

It that surprising. Like, she. Her being like, I'm 54. We know she looked.

[Blutman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Like, you know, and he. How young could he be? He's not 18.

[Blutman]

No. Right.

[Julio Gallarotti]

So, like, big deal.

[Blutman]

Well, they're not obligated to get, like, married like some. Some of the shows. Right?

[Kyle Bowers]

I don't know.

[Danny]

I don't know.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I don't know.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, I don't think they're obligated.

[Julio Gallarotti]

This feels. That feels like a stretch of a concept.

[Blutman]

Oh, yeah.

[Danny]

There's crazier concepts out there.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

It's not that crazy, but, like, is it a good show? Kyle?

[Kyle Bowers]

I watched the first episode. Not even the whole thing.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, I gotta stop. Yesterday I watched the Thunder play the Lakers, and it was pretty awesome.

[Blutman]

Really? Didn't Luca get hurt?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yes, he did.

[Ed]

Thunder won by, like, 40.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Austin Reeves got a Fight with him.

[Blutman]

You broke at zero pressure.

[Kyle Bowers]

I didn't know what to say.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

You watched.

[Blutman]

That was a good game, Kyle. What a good product.

[Julio Gallarotti]

They did like a low light reel of Bronnie bringing the ball up.

[Danny]

Oh, yeah.

[Blutman]

They guys kept on stealing it from Bronnie.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I hated watching that. It's tough. Poor Brownie.

[Ed]

What do you think would be the number one collector's item that people would want of yours?

[Blutman]

Like that Kyle. Like a Kyle specific member.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Or something he owns.

[Ed]

It's something like something that he's had. Like I would have loved Brain when you were the alien.

[Blutman]

I put in a bid to buy your retainer on kbnoswag.com right. When you. When that was active.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah. You don't own the right followers. And I was like, I have to profit. Yeah. Start a store.

[Blutman]

What did you sell?

[Kyle Bowers]

Weebly.com.

[Blutman]

i put in a bid for your retainer.

[Kyle Bowers]

I actually sold my diploma.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Kyle Bowers]

My undergraduate. I have to.

[Blutman]

But okay.

[Kyle Bowers]

Smaller one.

[Blutman]

Did you actually sell it and ship it?

[Kyle Bowers]

My like school id.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Kyle Bowers]

Like guys actually paid me.

[Blutman]

And you shipped it and sold the. So somebody has your diploma right now.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Do you know who it is?

[Kyle Bowers]

I forget.

[Julio Gallarotti]

What about your prince costume?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah. That goes in the trash.

[Blutman]

That does.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Those don't make it home.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Like there's a running bit on rediscoverings where Kyle goes up with his own money and buys the most expensive item on the trip. And you've thrown away everything.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

You've spent thousands.

[Ed]

The Jewish blues brother would be good steel.

[Blutman]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

Doing it.

[Blutman]

That was the first time I was hate crimed. Not crimed, but shouted at.

[Ed]

Oh, someone was.

[Blutman]

People thought we were Jewish.

[Lucas]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

Really mean.

[Blutman]

Yeah. They're just like, get out of this part. We were at the rock that Michelle kissed Barack for the first time. Have you been down there?

[Ed]

No. Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Ed]

That's too bad.

[Kyle Bowers]

Don't stumble over there. Jewishly.

[Julio Gallarotti]

No.

[Ed]

It's not right.

[Blutman]

If you come to the city, don't go down to that rock. Jewish.

[Julio Gallarotti]

They kissed.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

At the Barack.

[Blutman]

There's a quote. Oh, my God. There's a quote that she tasted like chocolate from Barack and it was pretty hot.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Because of post ice cream.

[Kate]

Got it.

[Blutman]

Sick. Yeah. I can't believe you've been down. Haven't been down there now. Have you been to the Obama library? I don't know where that is.

[Ed]

I don't think it's open.

[Blutman]

It's getting a lot of flack, is it not?

[Kate]

Museum of Science and Industry. It looks Scary.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kate]

It looks menacing, like a. Like a. If there was a Star wars evil rock.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Not a. It's not a pretty building.

[Blutman]

No.

[Kate]

I don't know what they were thinking, because it's in such a pretty area in this beautiful park. And then it's like this giant, evil glacier thing coming out of the ground. It's huge, too.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Kate]

It's like, what the. In there?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Kate]

I don't know.

[Blutman]

How long have they been building it for?

[Liam]

A long time.

[Kate]

If you see it in person, it looks genuinely.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Where is it?

[Kate]

Yeah, it's right near the Museum of Science and Industry.

[Ed]

It's in Hyde Park, I believe.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Crazy.

[Kate]

It's in such a cool area, but. And you can't read. It has all these words on the top. You can't, like, really read what it says. It's like. I would have designed it differently.

[Blutman]

Yeah, if you had it, Kate, you should have designed the Obama library.

[Kate]

Yeah, hit me up. I'll sign them. I'll design the Brockman library for our YETI guy.

[Blutman]

Did you see there's a chess tournament going on right now? And one player. It took him 67 minutes to make his move. That would piss me off. Oh, no, not this one. Yeah, it's the second longest move, I think, ever in this tournament.

[Kate]

Is that 71 minutes to tire the other opponent out?

[Blutman]

I don't know. And I think he's losing. It's. The. The matchup might still be going on. He's losing. Like, you took 67 minutes to do that.

[Kate]

6.

[Danny]

7.

[Kyle Bowers]

Is there any top talent that just, like. Just doesn't.

[Blutman]

He's, like, one of the best. This guy's. I think that's. That ruins the sports. Ruined. Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

I didn't know that. That being an option to wait an hour.

[Blutman]

It's like filibustering.

[Kate]

Does the other person have to sit there? Or can I be like, okay, I'm gonna go get lunch then?

[Blutman]

Yeah. But then as soon as you leave, maybe he moves, I guess.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Yeah. His 13th move.

[Kate]

In history. That. Yeah. That's a bit much.

[Ed]

That's ridiculous.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Danny]

They got to give you one of those vibrating pads like the restaurants gave you.

[Blutman]

Oh, I thought you were talking. Wasn't there the guy that chested cheated with the butt plug.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

You do that in the dozen. Danny. Just wait for a phone, A friend. You're not even playing.

[Danny]

I've never once made any dozen appearance whatsoever. It's not that hard to believe. Yeah, no, never.

[Kate]

Me neither.

[Kyle Bowers]

No team, really, either.

[Ed]

Okay.

[Blutman]

You've never been On a dozen.

[Danny]

You were on a dozen team, weren't you? With chaps, troops or something.

[Kyle Bowers]

Okay.

[Kate]

You had to have been pretty sure I wasn't.

[Kyle Bowers]

I kind of believe her.

[Blutman]

No, this is something she'd forget.

[Kate]

No, I'm almost certain I have not.

[Blutman]

Kate.

[Kate]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure playing the dozen.

[Blutman]

I'm good be with Danny.

[Kate]

I like watching it. I just am not. I. I never know the answer. So I'm like, what's the point?

[Blutman]

That's an issue.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Did you see, Kyle? There was a. There's. There's a fart gate going on in our match. At about 7 minutes, 50 seconds in. There is a real. The Internet comments are calling it a real squeaker. Oh.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, they heard it.

[Blutman]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

They didn't just see it, they smelled it.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

That wasn't. I don't know, maybe it has been. Could it. I've been smelling farts and Ubers. I've been saying this. They keep convincing myself it's the Uber

[Blutman]

driver, but if you're the common denominator. But everywhere you go smells like fart.

[Ed]

It had to be Greg.

[Kyle Bowers]

You don't want to be.

[Blutman]

So I. I fear, like, as a big boy, I feel like Hogdale might get the blame because we're playing against Hogdale and like big boys get blamed for farts just then. Let's see.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Ad Read Announcer]

I think Marquettes three Reds have had 35 plus home runs in a season since 2010. Joey Votto, Eugenio Suarez, and this corner infielder in 2016.

[Blutman]

Reds, Reds, Reds. Reds.

[Liam]

Okay.

[Blutman]

Oh, man. Reds. So I don't know who it is. I don't think it was me. Do yours sound like that? That was a textbook squeaker.

[Kate]

That was.

[Blutman]

But I don't know. I haven't. I haven't analyzed the faces.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, somebody had to be tensed up. Someone stopped breathing.

[Ed]

Kind of looks like a mug.

[Kyle Bowers]

I don't. It wasn't me.

[Blutman]

Reds.

[Kyle Bowers]

Is that you reacting there?

[Blutman]

I don't know. Reds.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yes, I.

[Blutman]

Okay, so it came through the headphones. Oh, man. Reds. Oh, I think it's Hogdale. Oh, God damn it, bro.

[Ed]

What does he do?

[Blutman]

Let's see. Oh, man. Reds

[Kyle Bowers]

on a Hogdale.

[Blutman]

Oh, no.

[Julio Gallarotti]

He did.

[Blutman]

There was a lean back, squinted.

[Kyle Bowers]

If you're squeaking that loudly, you have to immediately own it.

[Blutman]

But how do we not, in the moment say anything?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Nobody.

[Blutman]

We were trying to get the question right.

[Kyle Bowers]

I guess no one, like, looked too guilty.

[Blutman]

No, it was a D low.

[Kyle Bowers]

Was it?

[Blutman]

I didn't even think to look at Low.

[Danny]

That lighting makes him look like Voldemort.

[Kate]

Yeah, I was thinking that too.

[Kyle Bowers]

Damn. All right, I'm trying to localize.

[Danny]

Let's see who moves.

[Blutman]

I was at you.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Let's just see who top left moves back right after the see, reposition.

[Ed]

Oh, has to be a third move.

[Julio Gallarotti]

The hoodie down.

[Danny]

Was he airing it out a little bit.

[Blutman]

Oh, man. Reds.

[Kate]

Such a perfect part.

[Blutman]

And every comment. I thought we had a damn good match. And every comment about the squeaker. It's about the damn squeaker.

[Ed]

You don't fart anymore, though, right?

[Kyle Bowers]

What is that?

[Blutman]

What?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Well, the.

[Ed]

I thought that you got a reverse burping.

[Kyle Bowers]

That's burping.

[Ed]

I know. Now you could burp so your. Your back end cleared up.

[Kyle Bowers]

You know what? You're right.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

And I'm just realiz. I used to fart like 20 times a night.

[Ed]

Yes.

[Blutman]

And now the birth.

[Kyle Bowers]

I guess I haven't been.

[Blutman]

How much have the birth so far? How many farts a night?

[Kyle Bowers]

Now that I think about. Maybe you're right.

[Ed]

You farted on the Jaguar.

[Kyle Bowers]

Farted on the Jaguar. But I always do it purposely.

[Blutman]

Who'd you fart on?

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, the Jaguar.

[Blutman]

The car.

[Kyle Bowers]

The Jaguar.

[Blutman]

The.

[Ad Read Announcer]

The.

[Kyle Bowers]

The. The man, the boy. The competitor. My opponent. You're wrestling and just got out a teen opponent? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think that was me.

[Blutman]

The procedure you got to burp. Does it wear off eventually?

[Kyle Bowers]

I think sometimes.

[Blutman]

You asked zero questions.

[Kyle Bowers]

No, I did. I don't like asking questions. I think people go back, like, every. But it's like every 10 to 15 years.

[Blutman]

Oh, you're good.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blutman]

Would you do it again? Yeah. Oh, wow.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

You sound good now.

[Ed]

Really good.

[Blutman]

All right.

[Kate]

Ed, this is maybe tmi, when I was getting my C section beforehand, they're like, you want your tubes out while we're in there? And I was like, yeah, sure.

[Blutman]

Is that a pretty easy process?

[Kate]

Didn't Google it. Didn't look up. Nobody explained. They just were like, you want this? I was like, yeah. Nobody explained anything.

[Blutman]

When did they ask you?

[Kate]

And afterwards, I was like, maybe I should have just researched a little because maybe that could have side of it was just in hindsight, I'm like, that's crazy that I was just like, yeah, yeah, Chop them out.

[Blutman]

I like, were you on drugs?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Ed]

You'd ask one question.

[Kate]

Not a single question. I was like, yeah, you know what? I'm done. So, yeah, take them out. I just didn't think. I'll be honest. I didn't think I was like, I guess I'm done with my period. You're not. You still get it.

[Blutman]

Oh, so what's the. You just know pregnancies?

[Kate]

Yeah. There was a lot I didn't know after.

[Blutman]

When your tubes are out, do you just have like a. Is it a dead end?

[Kyle Bowers]

You feel the void?

[Kate]

I don't. I still really haven't googled it much, but I'm like, that's crazy that.

[Blutman]

I guess what's done is done.

[Kate]

Take these body parts out and they're just gonn keep it a mystery.

[Danny]

They asked for your consent while you're drugged up too?

[Kate]

No, no. I think, like, there was paperwork beforehand that I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. While you're in there, go ahead. But like, sorry, that's random. I think about it sometimes. Like, that's crazy. I didn't Google it.

[Ed]

Was that here?

[Danny]

It would be a hassle to have

[Ed]

to go back here.

[Kate]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Blutman]

I owe an apology. Frank's name is Frank. He's Frank Fleming.

[Ed]

Oh, no kidding.

[Blutman]

He's just Frank.

[Ed]

No kidding.

[Danny]

Seems my name is Frank.

[Blutman]

What is this? Kate playing?

[Danny]

Oh, yeah.

[Kate]

Wait, what?

[Kyle Bowers]

8 the truth.

[Kate]

Where am I? Oh, my God. What year was this?

[Kyle Bowers]

Okay, that doesn't matter.

[Blutman]

That doesn't matter at all. Four years ago.

[Kate]

Okay. Four years ago.

[Ed]

Match 146.

[Kate]

We do some, like, crazy, not normal, everyday things for people that most people don't do.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kate]

And I completely forget them.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Like, I may have gone skydiving for this job.

[Kyle Bowers]

And I agree. Nick tried to gaslight me. Like, who was the dude that came in that you were talking about?

[Blutman]

We did a commercial for Call of Duty and it was that this actor came in for a Call of Duty commercial. He like, pushed me in the shower. And he was like. He was really serious about, like, his character. And like, off the commercial, he's like, my character wouldn't do this. My character wouldn't do that. And you don't remember any of it?

[Kyle Bowers]

I don't. I wasn't there a one off.

[Danny]

Were you not in the commercial?

[Blutman]

I feel like something. I don't remember.

[Danny]

You probably played 40 games.

[Kate]

Gun to my head. I don't remember that.

[Julio Gallarotti]

At. At.

[Kate]

I couldn't tell you who was on my team. Couldn't tell you what the questions were. I don't remember.

[Danny]

Your Frankie Muniz just completely forgot about a whole show you did.

[Kate]

I will see clips. People will bring up old clips sometimes and it's like I'm seeing them for the first time, like, holy what?

[Blutman]

And Kyle, maybe an apology to the room. You said maybe Kate would know that she's on the diary.

[Kyle Bowers]

Why did I? You had the mental acuity to know. Played in 40 games.

[Blutman]

How many games did the troops play?

[Kate]

It had to have been just that season. And I probably didn't answer a single question. I don't know. I don't remember that.

[Danny]

I convinced Kate that she brought a half gallon of milk here by accident yesterday.

[Blutman]

What?

[Danny]

I put a gallon of milk in her bag while she went out to get food. And then when she came back, I was like, have you been stealing milk from the office? And she was like, oh, no, actually, I made pancakes for my kids school yesterday. Did I accidentally bring it?

[Kate]

And I saw. I brought all the ingredients and milk was one of the ingredients. And I was like, did I leave that in my bag?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

What's that?

[Kyle Bowers]

You should know that you didn't.

[Blutman]

There's a Blutman Barge. Because no sports. No. Mostly, yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

What you got?

[Liam]

I don't know. I'm just saying hi to you.

[Kate]

Oh, of course.

[Blutman]

What's up?

[Liam]

Liam, I'm here now.

[Blutman]

Yeah, you're goddamn right.

[Liam]

Yeah, I am.

[Blutman]

What's up?

[Liam]

Hi. I'm.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

How was last night with.

[Liam]

With Mikey and Wyatt?

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, that's what you did?

[Liam]

Yeah, I had dinner with Mikey and Wyatt. Wyatt only talks in Sopranos quotes.

[Kyle Bowers]

Really?

[Blutman]

Does that get annoying? Did that piss you off?

[Liam]

Made Mikey angry.

[Blutman]

Really?

[Liam]

They hate each other.

[Blutman]

Actually, yeah.

[Liam]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Why?

[Liam]

Because. Why? It talked about Mikey's wife a few months ago. Remember that?

[Blutman]

Oh, he called her. He went too far.

[Liam]

He went too far.

[Blutman]

You can call. You could call her pretty. You could. Like he added too many words. Describe her beauty.

[Liam]

He said. It's crazy. Mikey has her pray.

[Blutman]

Oh, that's probably it.

[Kyle Bowers]

That's kind of. Kind of offensive.

[Liam]

So Mikey won the dinner with Wyatt where we kind of take him out wine dyeing them and then maybe why it's gone, but why it's here.

[Blutman]

Oh, wow.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Julio, you're a married man. Is there too many adjectives if I was describing your wife?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I mean, there was one specific one that you all called her one time. That was. That was too much. But I've forgiven you all.

[Blutman]

Oh, I don't remember that.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I'm sure you don't. How convenient.

[Blutman]

Listen, man, we do a lot of crazy stuff here.

[John G]

Who.

[Blutman]

Who led the charge?

[Julio Gallarotti]

The fearless leader himself.

[Blutman]

Okay, that sounds right.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Big cat. The word starts with a C, it ends with a T. End four letter.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, no.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yes.

[Blutman]

No.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. You're saying that everywhere I looked for. Everywhere I looked for Refuge, you were all saying it.

[Blutman]

No, no. You did.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You did.

[Blutman]

I did

[Kate]

not.

[Julio Gallarotti]

She did.

[Danny]

I definitely did.

[Blutman]

Dude.

[Kate]

I don't remember that.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You all did. It's all right. It's all right.

[Liam]

No.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yep. Big cat. He offered me a job.

[Blutman]

No.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, he's.

[Blutman]

Your misremembering.

[Julio Gallarotti]

No, I remember it very well.

[Kate]

Well, if that's true, she had to have been a little bit.

[Blutman]

Yeah. Oh, my God.

[Kyle Bowers]

I don't believe I joined.

[Danny]

I can't imagine that.

[Blutman]

No, no.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

We had to have misspoke.

[Julio Gallarotti]

All right, perhaps.

[Kyle Bowers]

I don't. I didn't say she was a. I wouldn't even say it now.

[Julio Gallarotti]

No, I appreciate it. I'm glad you guys have all grown

[Kate]

a lot of people.

[Kyle Bowers]

I never did.

[Danny]

We were purposely trying to get you in trouble. Right.

[Blutman]

I will only slander and speak ill of people. I will never cross paths with the man that I am.

[Kyle Bowers]

Right.

[Julio Gallarotti]

That's possible. I don't know, but, yeah.

[Blutman]

Did she.

[Kyle Bowers]

Did it get back to her?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I. I went and told her what

[Kyle Bowers]

you had to tell.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Because I thought. I thought I was gonna get back to her, which it did. I don't think it would have, actually, but I was like. I was. I was like, I didn't stick up for you enough today, and I'm sorry.

[Blutman]

Oh, you apologize if you see a

[Danny]

quote card later with the C word on it. Babe.

[Kyle Bowers]

That's heinous.

[Julio Gallarotti]

That happened.

[Kate]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Sorry.

[Ed]

No, Katie.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Sorry, guys.

[Ed]

Katie.

[Kyle Bowers]

Kate did, too.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yep. I believe Kate did as well.

[Kate]

Don't recall.

[Liam]

When was this?

[Kyle Bowers]

Are we doing skit?

[Julio Gallarotti]

This is last year, I think.

[Danny]

No, we were, like, trying to get him in trouble with his wife, I believe.

[Kate]

We.

[Blutman]

We even had her as the thumbnail. We were like, julio's wife's a total. That was the name of the episode, right? No, unfortunately, a totaled. Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

That's a little bit better.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Total.

[Kyle Bowers]

Total.

[Blutman]

That's the worst. Oh, my God.

[Julio Gallarotti]

We got through it as a couple, and, you know, we're stronger for it, you know? So I guess.

[Blutman]

You're welcome.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Thanks, guys.

[Ed]

You don't like when Smoke says totaled?

[Blutman]

Does he talk about that when he has sex?

[Kate]

Is that how he refers?

[Ed]

Yeah, he's like, yeah, I totaled her. Like, it doesn't.

[Blutman]

She cannot. She cannot.

[Liam]

That was from the mind.

[Kyle Bowers]

That's not even an accomplishment.

[Blutman]

Totaling. You only do that on accident.

[Danny]

It's like after you fight someone.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, I sand it out there. The den

[Ed]

totaler.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Totaling's Bad totaling. That's not a good one.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Kate]

I think their side mirror pretty hard.

[Blutman]

Yeah, it's a little fender bender

[Julio Gallarotti]

got totaled last night.

[Blutman]

That makes. I could see after, like, being drunk.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

No, but that's how he just. I guess that's how he wails.

[Ed]

But do a lot of them makes, like, plowed.

[Blutman]

Like, like, that's bad, too.

[Ed]

Yeah, but plowed is more common.

[Blutman]

Cracked plowed at least implies, like, you do that to a field for fertility. There's some beauty there.

[Kyle Bowers]

There is some. Yeah. Some history and.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

Some blue collar.

[Blutman]

It's some real.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

It's like a salt of the earth

[Kyle Bowers]

kind of working class.

[Blutman]

That's how surfs.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I'm trying to think if there's a scenario where somebody told me that they, like, hooked up with somebody and they use. If any scenario of them describing it that is gonna sound like, kind of bad.

[Kyle Bowers]

That was every morning for me in college, having to endure people's sexual escapades in vivid detail. They were always so hot, and I was. Yeah, yeah.

[Ed]

Sorry.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

And then when the talking stick got to you and you just had nothing.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

What you do? What you do?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I don't know. Yeah.

[Blutman]

Getting. Getting past the ball after somebody talks about the wreckage they left in their way. She's still up there.

[Kyle Bowers]

Good morning.

[Blutman]

Juiced her to sleep. My God.

[John G]

Yes.

[Blutman]

Yeah, I did the same, man.

[Kate]

Totally.

[Blutman]

Oh, my God.

[Kate]

I faked it so hard. For a guy who doesn't respect me. Last night. Got him girls.

[Kyle Bowers]

Girl, you guys would talk like that.

[Kate]

Yeah. The rugby house.

[Ed]

Sure.

[Kate]

Different.

[Blutman]

There's. I mean, just. There's no way. No, the rugby gals, we were totaling.

[Kyle Bowers]

Right.

[Blutman]

Yeah. Yeah. You guys were just like. It's like a sky zone, the way you're bouncing. Guaranteed.

[Julio Gallarotti]

There was an app where you could review people.

[Blutman]

No.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. I forget what it was called. But, like, you. And you could, like, look yourself up and see what people said about how

[Kate]

good you were in bed.

[Julio Gallarotti]

About, like, anything that anyone should know.

[Ed]

Oh, I kind of remember.

[Blutman]

Oh, was it the Red Flag app or was it.

[Kate]

Oh, my God.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I forget what it was called. But, yeah, like, you literally look yourself up and it would be like. Like, don't, like, expect this guy to do whatever.

[Blutman]

I don't know.

[Danny]

Like, are we dating the same guy?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Like a yelp for.

[Ed]

Oh, this was like. Was it, like 2009?

[Kate]

Ish?

[Julio Gallarotti]

It sounds about right.

[Ed]

Yeah. Yeah. It was like he. Me and chucked me. Like, no. Expecting.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kate]

Really?

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

I know there's got to be Some regular. Are we dating the same guy? You just post a picture of somebody. Happened to somebody I knew.

[Kyle Bowers]

He.

[Blutman]

A girl posted him and he had never met her. And I went up to him. I was like, rudy, what's the deal? That was pretty up. Yeah. He was, like, frantic because, like, what do you say?

[Kate]

Oh, wait, it really did. Yes.

[Blutman]

A chick he never met threw him up on like, are we dating the same guy? Chicago. And granted, there were a bunch of chicks. Like, yeah, that's not true. That none of it was like. It was crazy.

[Kate]

That's crazy.

[Ed]

What gives you the right? You.

[Blutman]

Is that. Is that making you laugh?

[Ed]

Yeah, it makes me laugh so hard.

[Blutman]

He always brings up Rudy on Halloween. Getting the quote wrong. I'm not wearing hockey, but that's that tickle. There's some things that tickle you. And that's.

[Ed]

Yes, that's one.

[Blutman]

Every time Rudy comes up, you say, what gives you the right?

[Ed]

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I do do that.

[Blutman]

Let's get some ads out of the way. Quo Spring is a natural reset point. If you've been putting off cleaning up the messier parts of your business, now's the time. Streaming your community, looking at yesterday's Roback. Eddie, take it over for me.

[Kate]

Or maybe I'm dead inside and, like, it doesn't bother me anymore.

[Blutman]

I guess if somebody, like, said it with, like, it's bad poison.

[Kate]

If somebody said it with poison, I. I would. And I have pearls on. I would absolutely clap.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, I think it's worse to call them something that describes their appearance. Like, if you call someone a troll, I think that's worse. You're a troll.

[Blutman]

You look like an actual TR.

[Kate]

That's the fucking. The last After Dark we did when you can see the comments on the screen.

[Blutman]

Nightmare.

[Kate]

Everybody kept saying I looked like I had to. Haven't seen it. But I've seen the character Nicholas Cage. Long legs.

[Ed]

Come on, come on.

[Kate]

So mid show. Mid show. I like when the camera wasn't on me. I googled it and I was like, oh my God, what the fuck? Yeah, that was tough.

[Blutman]

Sometimes the chat can hone in on some things that you have been insecure about but not vocal about. Out.

[Kate]

Well, because it was like the curly, frizzy gray hair. It was. I was like, holy. They're right. Like there is a. A similarity. Unfortunately. Yeah.

[Blutman]

That's Kate after an antiquing.

[Kate]

That is like how I see my.

[Kyle Bowers]

When I wake up.

[Kate]

No, when I wake up in the morning and I first get in the mirror, it's. And the lighting hits you at a certain.

[Ed]

It's my favorite movie of 2024. And I. As soon as I saw. I said Kate. There's no. No way.

[Blutman]

As soon as you saw it, you did think of Kate.

[Ed]

No.

[Blutman]

That's what you said, Ed.

[Liam]

No.

[Blutman]

You were in the theater. She wasn't there. And you're like, Kate. This is not Kate.

[Kate]

What's like for. Is the cutting thing to say to a woman. What's something that somebody could say to you that would like get you.

[Blutman]

Oh, man.

[Kate]

Not a ball knower.

[Ed]

White socks. Daves is. Yeah.

[Blutman]

He doesn't like dummy either.

[Ed]

Yeah, but he's.

[Blutman]

He doesn't. It's tough. He's oftentimes a dummy.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Yeah. And then he goes on a rant being like, no one call me. That's the one thing.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Danny]

It gets me going. And then obviously everyone starts calling him.

[Blutman]

Have you. Is that an easy way to set him off? Does that still do it or is he too Zen?

[Ed]

He might be too zen. That was a couple years ago.

[Blutman]

He's at the Sox home opener. Is this a happy day for him or a sad mad or an angry?

[Ed]

I think it's the only time he is happy.

[Liam]

Start angry. Took the Uber way too long to pick him and smokes up. It was like 25 minutes. He was furious.

[Kyle Bowers]

That is too long.

[Ed]

I don't have that. It's a bad omen.

[Blutman]

There's. But there's other. You could cancel trying to find another. There's other ways.

[Danny]

25 minutes.

[Blutman]

That's a long time. That's insane to cancel.

[Ed]

What's the guy version?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I think it's like it has. Depends on the Circumstances, like, if you are being a and someone says you're a. That's extremely painful.

[Blutman]

Well, no, because I can accept it, because I know and I am being that.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But I don't want it to be known that I'm feeling like one. So then if it's obvious that I was one and they call me that, but if someone's like, what's good? Like, I don't care.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Well, as Betty White said, can take a real pounding. Yeah.

[Blutman]

Did she say that?

[Kate]

You're pretty tough, so don't be embarrassed by that.

[Blutman]

Yeah, that's. That's one of the tougher things.

[Kate]

They can get wrecked, honestly.

[Danny]

Ear muffs. Kate. Probably being called like, a chicken.

[Blutman]

One of the gals. No, I. Maybe. Is it cunt for guys, too?

[Kyle Bowers]

I don't think.

[Kate]

I think for guys, it's getting spit on.

[Blutman]

Well, yeah. Girls don't care about that. Punched in the balls.

[Danny]

No, it's when you're actually being a. That's probably it.

[Blutman]

Yeah. I get pretty defensive. It's. It's like, if I don't want to do a shot, I just don't want to be.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, yeah, I'm fine with that.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Like, turning down a shot doesn't make you a. I feel like if a

[Kyle Bowers]

woman who used to love me called me like, a. A. Yeah. Circumstantial would sting.

[Kate]

That would hurt.

[Kyle Bowers]

The local might sting.

[Blutman]

Yeah. Like some. Yeah. Somebody who doesn't love me anymore called me, like, made a maid is tough.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Right. If they reminded you why they didn't like you anymore.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Like, you were just. To this and that and whatever you were.

[Blutman]

No. Yeah. Like, everything was going great, but. Yeah. You're just. You're just a.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You couldn't keep me interested.

[Blutman]

I would. I would still love you if you

[Kyle Bowers]

weren't a. Julia, you've been immersed in so many different cultures. Like, what have you noticed about their. Like, their banter or their.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, yeah. Interesting. I don't know. Sometimes, like, they can be pretty. Like, I've seen people who are, like, really mean to each other. Like, these comedians I was friends with in Africa are, like, very mean to each other.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But it's like. And they all think it's funny, and they can all take the joke.

[Kyle Bowers]

I don't like taboo insults that you've come across.

[Blutman]

There are some places where if you bring up a mother, it's bad, right?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. I mean, it sounds.

[Kyle Bowers]

Can't bring up their mother. That's fair.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. I don't know if there's anything Specific,

[Danny]

like, doesn't translate like that.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Right. Where they're like, whatever you do, don't say so and so I don't, I can't recall anything specific. I think generally, like, it's, you know, hard to find yourself in a situation where you're, like, insulting people and you're surprised by it.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

America is one of the more socially tense countries.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I think that places in general where people, like, make money. So, like, you'll be in a country and, like, if you're out in the Village, everybody's really friendly. But then when you're in the city, they're not just, like, the same thing here, or maybe just, like, the density of people. I'm not, I'm not really sure how specifically, but I don't know that it's necessarily, like, culturally always specific. That makes sense. There's, like, more broad similarities than differences.

[Blutman]

Usually for guys, I feel like back

[Ad Read Announcer]

in, like, high school and stuff like that, like, virgin was always pretty cutting.

[Danny]

Still is.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Especially when you were like, no, I got laid on that cruise with my family. It's. Sure you did. The cruise is the biggest lie. It.

[Danny]

Yeah. Girl who lives by my lake house.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Don't buy it, Blutman. Is there anything that can be said that really pisses you off or.

[Liam]

No, I've been trying to think for the last five minutes.

[Ed]

You got homeschool, remember?

[Liam]

Yeah, because.

[Kyle Bowers]

Remember?

[Ed]

Because south park came out, right?

[Liam]

Oh, the ginger Hawaii homeschooled.

[Ed]

Oh, I thought you said that.

[Blutman]

Did I really say that?

[Ed]

Yeah. No.

[Liam]

Oh, that was a joke.

[Ed]

Oh, I didn't.

[Liam]

No, no. I, I, I did home schools because I wasn't that good at real school. So then I decided to Homeschool for 11th and 12th. It was a great decision.

[Blutman]

Was it tough, like, or was. Was. Who was it, Pops? I was teaching your mom.

[Liam]

Oh, Mom.

[Blutman]

How'd you do? A terrible teacher. No.

[Liam]

Well, I mean, yeah. I mean, she. She did my Spanish homework. I couldn't figure out the Spanish, so I guess. Guess, guess. Good teacher.

[Kyle Bowers]

Would she make you, like, wear a certain outfit?

[Liam]

No.

[Kyle Bowers]

Would you have to be sitting at the table, or could you just lounge on the couch?

[Liam]

You know, table. But sometimes I just do my homework in my bed.

[Danny]

Did you have to wake up at a certain point?

[Blutman]

All of it was homework?

[Liam]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, exclusively homework.

[Liam]

Dude, I ain't been in the game so long, I forgot everything. It was all homework?

[Blutman]

Yeah. Even during the day.

[Liam]

Day.

[Blutman]

But did you have to wake up early?

[Liam]

No, just wake up at whatever time.

[Blutman]

Oh, and how many hours a day Was school.

[Liam]

Oh, I'd finish it quick. That that's why I liked homeschool is because I gotta work on my own, like time and everything. I didn't have to like you be sitting in class for so long and you got away and wait, where homeschool? I could like finish all my work a day in like two hours. It was way better then.

[Blutman]

Did you get bored?

[Liam]

No, I would go watch sports.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Liam]

I would get here.

[Blutman]

Yeah, you're right. Solid paid off.

[Kyle Bowers]

Then you went to Santa Monica Community College?

[Liam]

Yep. Dropped out a few crash short.

[Blutman]

Wait, you almost got. You almost finished.

[Liam]

I went there on the, the, the belief I wouldn't have to take math to graduate. And then when it was time to get out of there, they said, you gotta take math. But I said nope.

[Blutman]

So you just, you threw in the

[Liam]

towel, Realized I got scammed. I left.

[Blutman]

How close to the end, how many credits?

[Liam]

Like a few. Like, like one or two math classes.

[Julio Gallarotti]

This is two year program.

[Liam]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Were you gonna hit the transfer portal and hit the UCs?

[Liam]

I don't know what I was gonna do. I did.

[Ad Read Announcer]

What was your.

[Blutman]

What was your what degree?

[Kyle Bowers]

Sounds like you didn't really want to.

[Liam]

Management or. No, Journalism.

[Blutman]

Journalism. Okay.

[Liam]

One of the two. Yeah. The. Yeah, I didn't really want to go. Like, I never applied to any colleges. I don't know if I took the SAT or the act. I took one of them. The terrible. I don't. I'm just not a school guy.

[Blutman]

Did you flunk any classes as a homeschooled student?

[Liam]

No.

[Blutman]

Did you flunk any papers?

[Liam]

Probably.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Do you even get grades?

[Kyle Bowers]

Who grades?

[Liam]

It's like on the system, on your computer.

[Blutman]

But it's your mom that grades your papers?

[Liam]

No, no, no. It's like, it's legitimately on like a. I don't remember.

[Blutman]

Oh, okay. So your mom wasn't teaching you?

[Liam]

No, but you know, it's better for the, the, the story visual.

[Blutman]

Okay. It was all a computer.

[Ed]

Was Luki homeschooled?

[Liam]

He was given the option. He tried and stopped about after two weeks. He was miserable with the fair. It's not for everyone. Yeah,

[Ed]

that's interesting.

[Blutman]

Santa Monica Community College. Is it, Is it, is that like in a nice. It's got to be pretty, right?

[Liam]

It's a, It's a nice solid area. It's right, you know, kind of close to the beach. It's where it's Ocho Cinco went.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Liam]

Steve Smith. They both went there before they ended up transferring to Oregon State and, and Utah. So Powerhouse.

[Blutman]

It really is.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Does anybody here speak another language?

[Blutman]

No, I wish. I really wish.

[Danny]

It's just.

[Blutman]

That's one of those things. It's such a. Like, I've tried to learn, but it's such, like, a block. I can't do it.

[Danny]

I mean, we had. He probably did, too. We had to take Spanish. We had to start taking Spanish in, like, fifth grade, and then we had to take it all through high school. I used to know a lot more, but I could speak caveman.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Like, if someone just dropped you in the middle of Paraguay or something, could you hit. Could you.

[Danny]

Like, it's harder to understand, but I could, like, ask questions. That'll sound a little caveman.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Could you get yourself home? No phone, no money, and, like, you just had to speak Spanish to people?

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Liam]

Really?

[Danny]

I would think so. I mean, I feel like that would be more.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, that's impressive.

[Danny]

I would be more directionally challenged. That would. That would come more than.

[Kyle Bowers]

Is that going to be an upside to AI Is we're going to be able to easily translate each other?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I don't know. Like, they have the wearable tech for that, but it's just, like, it works the way that, like, Siri does, so it doesn't work. Really?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Ed]

What do you. Do you speak anything different?

[Julio Gallarotti]

No, I don't, unfortunately. I took French because I thought I was gonna win the French Open. I wanted to give my acceptance.

[Blutman]

You want to do it?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I'm dead serious. That's why I took French.

[Ed]

Has anyone used a compass before?

[Blutman]

I used to be obsessed with compasses.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. Really?

[Blutman]

Yeah. I used to, like.

[Ed]

Wow.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You get.

[Blutman]

Get a good bit. I used to love walking in the woods with compass.

[Ed]

Really?

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

I've never used it.

[Blutman]

I love it.

[Ed]

What do you have, like, designed ones?

[Blutman]

No, no, I just. I'll go to, like, the military surplus store and get it. Like, the metal flip ones. Something about batteryless tech that I love. Yeah.

[Liam]

What would you do in the woods with your compass?

[Blutman]

It's kind of roam. I love being in the woods. No, I just roam in the woods. I would do it a lot.

[Kyle Bowers]

I would, too. Yeah. We lived in the woods pretty much.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Are those raccoon hats as prevalent in West Virginia as the media portrays?

[Blutman]

Yeah, probably about one in every 10, actually. No,

[Julio Gallarotti]

fully bought that.

[Ed]

Really?

[Liam]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

Our cops wear

[Blutman]

buck skins.

[Danny]

People are only wearing these ironically, right? Yeah, we.

[Kyle Bowers]

I bought one as a joke.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Really? So, like, if. If you're picking up a pizza, you know, a guy won't just walk in and Be like, yeah, I got the cheese and sausage.

[Kyle Bowers]

Wait, wait, what?

[Ed]

Yeah, like he won't walk in in a coon.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, wearing a coon. Yeah. No.

[Ed]

Okay.

[Kyle Bowers]

Even the pizza guys aren't wearing.

[Blutman]

Yeah, even the guys picking up PIZ aren't wearing the coonskin hats.

[Danny]

Stereotyping.

[Julio Gallarotti]

That was a question.

[Blutman]

The thing is, everybody had one. Like, I. Yeah, I had one in the house, but just.

[Ed]

Is there a baby picture of you with that?

[Kyle Bowers]

I. There are pictures of me with the. I got it in Canada, actually.

[Ed]

Really?

[Kyle Bowers]

Niagara Falls, huh?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I take it you no longer have it.

[Kyle Bowers]

No, I don't have any.

[Danny]

I don't have any.

[Blutman]

Yeah, you toss that immediately. Were you always like that, Kyle?

[Kyle Bowers]

No, the opposite.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Kyle Bowers]

I liked. I lived for other people, so I wanted to show off all. All of my things, like my signed baseballs, my cards, my. All my trophies.

[Blutman]

You kept a lot of like your old writings, though. I remember looking through the poetry you did in like middle school.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, I had the books. My mom saved those.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, we're good on that.

[Blutman]

Thankful for that.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Wait a minute. Your sister.

[Julio Gallarotti]

What about my sister?

[Blutman]

Your sister, she unearthed a lot of footage of you rapping.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, I can't watch that. Like, I can't even watch it as a joke.

[Blutman]

The one. She posted a teaser and you're not really saying anything. Can you have. Can you watch that?

[Kyle Bowers]

I watched the teaser.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Liam]

And that was.

[Kyle Bowers]

But I. No, I went to watch like the raps and I couldn't. I couldn't do it even. Like I. Even though I was 12. It's just too embarrassing.

[Blutman]

Well, is pretty old.

[Kyle Bowers]

Were you 12, 12, 13?

[Blutman]

Were you a freshman rapping?

[Kyle Bowers]

No. 8.

[Danny]

Okay.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I was freestyling in high school, everybody.

[Blutman]

Yes.

[Julio Gallarotti]

The cipher was part. Was a rite of passage.

[Kyle Bowers]

It felt like it. For some reason, white people felt the need.

[Blutman]

Yeah, I'm not good at. I guess I got a rap.

[Julio Gallarotti]

There's also nothing else to do.

[Kate]

Like every. I feel like every high school had like the rap duo, like two white kids who were.

[Kyle Bowers]

I was gonna say just one.

[Blutman]

Yeah, we had a few.

[Kate]

We few.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, they were like trying to make

[Kate]

it for real, kind of. Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

I feel like outer Philly was packed with. With white rappers.

[Kate]

Yeah. I still remember the. They would do remixes. What's that song? We Built the City on? Rock and roll. Yeah, but it was a rap version and the chorus was My dick's all shitty from your. And then they boom.

[Kyle Bowers]

And then that seems like a. Weird.

[Blutman]

Is that.

[Kate]

But they. It was. It was like Fun. They would try to be funny like Eminem.

[Ed]

Yo.

[Kate]

But I still think of those songs.

[Blutman]

High school. I'm too young. But, like, during Eminem's peak, with probably every. Every white dude was probably bleach blonde,

[Kate]

big white T shirts that. Hello, my name is. You were stickers.

[Ed]

I did it. Yeah.

[Blutman]

Do you have photos somewhere?

[Ed]

I'll probably find it. Cleaning out this house.

[Blutman]

We were looking through old White Sox Dave photos, and you were like. You looked like a mob boss.

[Kyle Bowers]

You did?

[Liam]

When?

[Ed]

At the company party.

[Blutman]

Yeah. You were real.

[Ed]

Yeah. The hair is a little foofed up.

[Blutman]

Yeah, man. Yeah, that was.

[Ed]

That was a. I was like 22 in that picture.

[Blutman]

Really?

[Ed]

That was. I was.

[Blutman]

That was when you were interning?

[Ed]

Yes. Yes. Correct. Huh. Those day pictures are gold, though, man.

[Blutman]

That's so awesome. And then I started. I found out how to, like, sort YouTube videos by old to new. You have to type something in the search bar. I've just been. I've been really building up a nice Dave collection. Me and. Me and Danny are just. Are all of our tech.

[Danny]

We used to do this back in the day, like, basically on free swims on dog walk. Every Wednesday. We just have a segment talking about

[Blutman]

Dave, his old apartment tour with the pumpkin.

[Danny]

And he had a pumpkin in his place. And it was nowhere near Halloween, middle of summer.

[Blutman]

He had a pumpkin, but it was like on the armrest of his couch.

[Danny]

Time to throw that out.

[Ed]

And he went to pick it up just to show the pumpkin, and it just was so soft and rotten that the top just came off.

[Blutman]

There was a. Like a hidden gem in that one where he goes into his bathroom and the only thing that he could have ever wiped or dried his hands with was paper towels. There was no toilet paper. There's no towels. It's just a roll of paper towels in his bathroom.

[Ed]

We just got to do the White Sox Dave draft already.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Ed]

We gotta get it done.

[Blutman]

What would you take? 1 1.

[Ed]

I have some. I have some hidden artillery.

[Blutman]

Really?

[Ed]

And I don't think people even know exists that the world needs to know about.

[Liam]

You've been saving up and waiting for that.

[Blutman]

Oh, yeah.

[Ed]

I have enough. You know, my one, one, one white talks Dylan.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Okay.

[Blutman]

Dylan had me and Danny laughing last for, I think, two days.

[Ed]

Dylan's good. You're Dylan, too.

[Ad Read Announcer]

AR versus America, where he has to get helped from the medic.

[Danny]

Oh, yeah.

[Liam]

From throwing. From.

[Blutman]

And then he said he did. Didn't do that. Yeah.

[Kate]

The Velcro.

[Blutman]

Velcro walls.

[Kate]

It kills me.

[Blutman]

Barcelo versus America. We had to throw a Frisbee.

[Danny]

There's so many layers to the Velcro one. That makes it so much funnier.

[Ed]

Yes.

[Danny]

Like we were, I think I've told this before, but we had to do an ad for Mil Light that was originally supposed to be an ad. And so I'm like. And it kind of had to be one take. Miller Light Rep was there. It was like a live action, you know, jumping Velcro wall thing. And so I'm like, all right, so we can't, no one can swear, right? And I'm like, Dave has trouble with that. So Dave, we're not going to even give you a talking part. You just jump against the wall. And then like another thing for ads is like, you know, no bodily fluids of any sort of course goes without being said. And so I'm like, all right, this guy's not about to like piss or anything or puke. What could possibly go wrong? And he just turns around, blood dripp, his face, unusable.

[Kate]

And he was mad, right?

[Ed]

Oh my.

[Kyle Bowers]

He turned.

[Ed]

As soon as I saw him turn around and blood dripping. I was like, oh my days.

[Danny]

They both had headed for the hills.

[Ed]

I was like, I know my days. I was like, I'm just going to walk away now cuz I know this is my fault. I just knew it was my fault.

[Blutman]

I watched like a, I, I watched like an old interview. This guy, do you know his name was like, it's not Johnny, his name was Johny. J O J O H G Y a podcast called off the Beat and it's Dave when he's balding but like wearing a visor and his like hair's like really pressed. Have you seen this? Have you seen John interview?

[Kate]

I need this.

[Blutman]

It's Dave and John.

[Kyle Bowers]

Let's run up the numbers.

[Blutman]

Let's see if I could have it saved.

[Danny]

Was he at a beach?

[Blutman]

It's a podcast called on the Beach.

[Danny]

Was he at a baseball game? Because I'm, I'm remembering that picture of the visor.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh yeah, please put it, Dave and

[Kate]

show it to me. Rachel, put it in the group chat

[Blutman]

and John G's asking him the hard hitting questions and he just has like four strands of hair and a visor. Yeah, John G.

[Kyle Bowers]

Wait, go back. I don't think he knows his name.

[Blutman]

John. This is John for John Feed. I'm here with Dave from Barstool Sports. How are you, man?

[Dave Williams]

I'm, I've been better. I've definitely been better.

[Blutman]

What happened out there?

[Julio Gallarotti]

You faced the picture.

[Dave Williams]

What happened Well, I knew we were in a rush, so my excuse is I've been drinking all day and I didn't want to walk cuz I hate walking. I want to hit missiles. So I took it. I swung at two balls I normally would have taken for ball four, but I'm not gonna walk out there. I want to. I want to put on a show for the people.

[Blutman]

Well, you worked the count a little bit. I saw that.

[Danny]

Yeah, I know.

[Dave Williams]

And she was getting frustrated.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I think she was a little nervous from you.

[Dave Williams]

I got in her head a little bit. I was talking trash on Twitter and everything.

[Blutman]

Well, you know, hey, it works, man.

[Julio Gallarotti]

So where can people follow you guys? Tell us a little bit about Barstool Sports.

[Dave Williams]

[Blutman]

I love him, man.

[Kyle Bowers]

John, you got him. Was it. What was that, a celebrity softball game?

[Blutman]

I'd imagine.

[Ed]

Yeah, I think that something like that.

[Blutman]

Danny, your archive has to be crazy because you sent me one of him just eating an onion.

[Ed]

Yeah, that's classic.

[Danny]

Raw onion. Eating it like an apple.

[Kyle Bowers]

You just, like, caught him, dude.

[Ed]

That was for Derrick Rose's knee.

[Blutman]

Yeah, Kyle, dumbass.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, we all paid respects in some different ways.

[Ed]

When he tore his acl, we were like, oh, no, we need, like, some good luck. And Dave said all he had was an onion in his fridge.

[Blutman]

All he had was an onion in his fridge.

[Ed]

I think big cows, like, but why?

[Kyle Bowers]

Why would that be?

[Danny]

I'll send it to you, Lucas.

[Ed]

We're just like, we just need you

[Kyle Bowers]

to eat something in his fridge.

[Ed]

Yeah, we're like, yeah, eat the onion for good luck. I think Big cat told him. And so the next thing you know, there's a video of Dave eating an onion. And it was like, our when, like, our tech would go down, it was our, like, waiting screen.

[Danny]

Oh.

[Ed]

For a long time. Was him eating an onion.

[Liam]

Did it bring any good luck?

[Ed]

No, I think he tore his meniscus. Right.

[Julio Gallarotti]

How much did he eat of the on opinion?

[Ed]

A few chomps for sure. A few chomps.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Jeez.

[Ed]

Yeah. No, there's the archives. So sometimes I'll just see something and I'll be like, danny, I'm just sending this to you just so we have it, and it. Because gets deleted and shit's hard to find you.

[Blutman]

Yeah, but I can't get enough. I need. I'm, like, addicted to Dave.

[Ed]

It's great when you go down the rabbit hole. It's so funny, but, like, I'm not

[Blutman]

doing it to make. I love him.

[Ed]

Yeah, it's hilarious. He's hilarious. This

[Blutman]

his dozen team Che, yours is the most popular in the D. Like, they. They are dominating the fan vote, and Dave doesn't understand why. Jeff DLO showed me a text of just like, hey, you guys won the fan vote. You're, like the most popular. And Dave's just like, why?

[Ed]

Yeah, he'll never get it. Yeah, that's. That's also the beauty.

[Blutman]

Kate. The dozen's like a trivia show.

[Kate]

Yeah. Never.

[Kyle Bowers]

Wait, have you. Have you seen this? Dave Williams, 4324 account count. No, I'm getting videos from 12 years

[Ed]

ago that might be the Onion.

Good video you're watching.

Psych. Three exclamation points from 12 years ago.

[Blutman]

Do you know about this Ed or Danny?

[Liam]

No.

A lot of what?

[Kyle Bowers]

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, that's the onion. Yeah.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

What?

[Danny]

Well played.

[Blutman]

That. I kept the bottle that you filled with vodka and I switched it. Did you just drink your own prank?

[Liam]

Wait, that wasn't Sentel.

[Kyle Bowers]

Well, yeah. What did we just say?

[Kate]

Could someone read it?

[Kyle Bowers]

Bosco was about to go on the news when his interview was ruined by ICE protesters setting up shop in the background. Round. Why you got to ruin everything?

[Blutman]

That's what's up, baby. This is the biggest network.

[Liam]

They ruin everything.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, my God.

[Blutman]

I didn't think that. Were they just in the background of that interview? I'd imagine.

[Kate]

I guess so. Yeah.

[Blutman]

So now they're not going to air Rico's interview and he got them lost

[Kate]

in the rain last night.

[Blutman]

I think that was Jack.

[Liam]

That was McCarthy. They put the wrong address in.

[Danny]

Was it on purpose?

[Liam]

Yeah. I wonder.

[Blutman]

And then.

[Kate]

And was that the shirt he was so worried about?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You.

[Blutman]

You. It has like a bunch of Basketball plays on it.

[Kate]

Oh, it did?

[Blutman]

Yeah. It was white, so I think he was worried about transparency.

[Kate]

I thought it just had stripes all over it.

[Blutman]

I think it was. Basketball plays and then there's, like, a video.

[Liam]

You got sent out.

[Ad Read Announcer]

You got sent out.

[Kyle Bowers]

What?

[Blutman]

That shirt.

[Liam]

The basketball shirt was a quigs joint.

[Blutman]

God damn it.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, I. I've been getting it too.

[Blutman]

God damn it.

[Kyle Bowers]

Some of it.

[Blutman]

What about him throwing the shoe?

[Liam]

The shoe is real.

[Kyle Bowers]

The shoe is real.

[Blutman]

The shirt is fake. Oh, it is. Terrified.

[Kyle Bowers]

Look how wet. How do you not know where they do. You're an idiot.

[Blutman]

Oh, my God, guys, we're half a mile away. No way. No way. Yeah, we gotta call an Uber.

[Kyle Bowers]

I love the reveal of the event.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

When I hear about Rico, I don't know why. I always picture, like, this, like, cinematic, dimly lit, like, really official, like, party, underground party. But it was just, like, a lobby with, like, a few dudes walking around. Yeah.

[Blutman]

I hope he got his numbers, though.

[Kate]

Yeah, I hope.

[Kyle Bowers]

Seems like he did all right.

[Julio Gallarotti]

He's doing good.

[Kate]

Did they secure any coaches for the show tonight?

[Danny]

Good question.

[Blutman]

Yeah, I'm not sure. I saw Florida's coach on the graphic, so I'd imagine they got that.

[Kate]

Yeah, he must be.

[Blutman]

Yeah. And then did you see Rico throwing a shoe?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

What happened?

[Blutman]

That was real. But why'd he throw the shoe?

[Kate]

Shoe before or after that?

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, yeah, the shoe was stained. Yeah.

[Liam]

But then he didn't know, so the whole night.

[Blutman]

But he was embarrassed about that.

[Danny]

A white stain.

[Blutman]

Just a real quick.

[Liam]

That was the only tweet for about eight hours.

[Danny]

Come on. My shoe.

[Blutman]

That's George Bush on the other end of the hall.

[Ed]

Smokes in the Penn State girl.

[Blutman]

Oh, yeah, she. He tweeted something at her and she didn't quite like it.

[Liam]

He tweeted something about. Look up the verse in this Drake song or something. And then she.

[Ad Read Announcer]

She wasn't.

[Blutman]

What was the Drake verse?

[Liam]

You're asking the wrong guy.

[Blutman]

I don't even know why I wasted words asking you that. Yeah, Julia, what was.

[Danny]

Did he.

[Ed]

Did he.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Did it involve being totaled?

[Blutman]

Oh, man, I don't know.

[Julio Gallarotti]

No, I don't know the lyric. I didn't catch that one.

[Ed]

Danny, you should know.

[Danny]

What? It was a song.

[Blutman]

Let's find the tweet. I guess he tweeted at the.

[Kyle Bowers]

He made her, like, go through a scavenger hunt to get harassed.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Liam]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

The guy she told you not to worry about,

[Ed]

John Fanta. What a guy. What a guy.

[Blutman]

I don't know much about him.

[Ed]

He's like a Big east commentator. Yeah, it's funny. Dunked on Blotman and then Blotman dunked.

[Blutman]

Dunked back with

[Ed]

the last laugh.

[Liam]

Rico calls him NBA Johnny.

[Blutman]

That's like a pretty good nickname. Is that supposed to be insulting?

[Liam]

Yeah, because he's gotta call NBA games during college basketball tournaments sometimes. Tough.

[Ed]

Rico would not do that.

[Kyle Bowers]

Embarrassing.

[Ed]

He would decline for sure.

[Blutman]

Yeah. Just listen to the first verse of Child's Play by Drake.

[Danny]

Why you gotta fight with me at cheesecake? I know you love to go there.

[Kyle Bowers]

Is that it, Sam?

[Danny]

Matthew Light Skin, I can't take you nowhere.

[Blutman]

That's.

[Liam]

That's what it is.

[Blutman]

No, that can't Place for families.

[Danny]

I can't drive Camrys and go to Disney. They don't need to know all of our business.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Super childish.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, the first verse.

[Blutman]

He's talking about the intro, not the verse. Okay. Oh, what's the intro?

[Kyle Bowers]

It's a standard in the first line.

[Blutman]

Okay. Oh, God.

[Danny]

Breaks.

[Ed]

He's mad at you, right?

[Blutman]

Nick smokes.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

For what?

[Ed]

He didn't get to speak his piece on the jwell thing. Oh, it was your fault.

[Blutman]

He said he's been blackballed from the yak. He said if the J will thing happened to anybody else, they'd be pulled onto the yak. I don't. I don't think he's blackballed. Maybe a subconscious blackballing, but that's not my call.

[Danny]

Yeah, I think we played the clip of him addressing it on Ron.com too, so it would have been redundant.

[Kyle Bowers]

I'd have him on.

[Ed]

He feels blackballed though, Kyle.

[Blutman]

And then Ed tried to blame me.

[Kyle Bowers]

We all do.

[Blutman]

Because Ed said I do the booking.

[Ed]

Who does the booking? Trey.

[Blutman]

Trey blackballed

[Ad Read Announcer]

Nikki smokes. No.

[Blutman]

Okay, fair enough.

[Ed]

Lucas, you're doing a great job.

[Kate]

Nice work on the sticks.

[Blutman]

Are you nervous, Lucas? No, I was just.

[Lucas]

I've been trying to find the Julio's wife clip for the last.

[Blutman]

It hasn't. It's never happened.

[Kyle Bowers]

Didn't happen.

[Lucas]

Like I can't search that word in the transcript so it's make. I think I found the episode. I would just have to comb through the whole thing and I haven't found it yet.

[Liam]

Why can't you search that word and then transcript?

[Lucas]

Because it's a curse word, so it's not gonna come up.

[Blutman]

Oh, really? Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Interesting. How convenient.

[Blutman]

I have an all time bad hang next week.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Week?

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, the poor other person.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Your cousins?

[Blutman]

It's my dad and Lucas. We're going to the Pirates.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, no.

[Blutman]

Yeah, Nightmare for me.

[Kyle Bowers]

How did Lucas get involved?

[Kate]

Yeah, what's the.

[Blutman]

He's a Pirates guy.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, well, that. That's nice.

[Lucas]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Hey, shout out to you, though. Big day.

[Blutman]

Crazy Connor Griffin. Yeah, but the real. The other Connor Griffin is stealing everything from me. He's a Pirates fan now, and he's like. He's stealing my.

[Kate]

Look, the other Connor Griffin.

[Liam]

Oh, my gosh.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, that's him.

[Blutman]

That's Connor Griffin.

[Kyle Bowers]

What a neck.

[Ed]

Go back.

[Blutman]

Wide neck. Look at that. I don't know if it's a wide neck or a tapered chin.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, it's a mixture of both.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Narrow chin.

[Kate]

That's Connor Griffin.

[Blutman]

That's Connor Griffin. But not our Connor Griffin. But our Connor Griffin is a fan of that one on account of the name.

[Lucas]

We can't let him do that. That we've been suffering for a decade.

[Liam]

He.

[Lucas]

He can't just hop in now.

[Liam]

Lucas, you can't buy a Connor Griffin jersey and wear it around the office.

[Lucas]

I can't or he can't?

[Liam]

You can't. Right, because then Conor's gonna make all about him.

[Blutman]

Yeah, right. It just sucks that the savior of the organization is named Connor Griffin.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Liam]

Any other name I know? Con.

[Blutman]

Con Griffin.

[Liam]

That sound menacing, though.

[Blutman]

No, no, you're right.

[Liam]

You think Connor Griffin's a big Star wars nerd too?

[Blutman]

We can hope not. I don't know.

[Kate]

Is that Connor Griffin aware of this Connor Griffin?

[Danny]

Hell no.

[Liam]

This Connor Griffin's that. Connor Griffin's mom knows our Connor Griffin.

[Kyle Bowers]

What?

[Liam]

Knows of him? Yes. They're aware of the universe and everything. Okay.

[Danny]

How do you know that?

[Liam]

I spoke to our.

[Blutman]

This con. Does the Pirates Connor Griffin know about Connor Griffin's mom?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Him?

[Liam]

Don't think so. There's also a third Connor Griffin that plays college baseball.

[Blutman]

Jesus Christ.

[Liam]

That sent Connor Griffin a jersey.

[Blutman]

There's got to be other Kyle Bowers, right?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah. He played quarterback for. Is it Weber or Weber State?

[Liam]

Weaver State.

[Kyle Bowers]

Weber State.

[Blutman]

Not bad, Julia. Where you headed off to next?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Virginia Beach.

[Blutman]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

What was. Yeah, sorry, Kyle.

[Blutman]

Kyle said it was going to suck block.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I'm trying to go to all of the national park sites in Virginia that I haven't been to yet.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

And there's two of them that are near Virginia beach, so I'm staying over there for an. For an evening.

[Blutman]

Is there a worst national park?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Worst? Yeah, yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

It's the St. Louis fucking Arch.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Well, but if you. Depends if you're talking about, like, the proper national parks, which is there's like 60 something that. There's a good argument for that one. I also think the one in Ohio, Cuyahoga. Yeah, it's beautiful, but I think it deserves to be a national recreation area and not a national.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, I've been there. It's not that good.

[Blutman]

What's the difference between. What's the. What's the bar for Park?

[Julio Gallarotti]

So there's different designations. So, like, park is like Yellowstone. Like, the famous ones. Like, most of them are pretty famous, like Denali, and then, like, you know, the house JFK lived in as a kid will be one as well. So what.

[Blutman]

I mean, there's 400 Park.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, well, it's a. It's a park you unit. There's 433 of them, but that's not.

[Kyle Bowers]

That's not one of the actual national parks.

[Julio Gallarotti]

It's not one of the national parks, but it's a national park registered site.

[Kyle Bowers]

Site.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Okay, so there's 67 national parks, I think maybe 68. And 433 official units. And there's one in Italy.

[Kyle Bowers]

Which ones are you going to?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I'm going to Prince William Forest Park. I'm going to the Wolf Trap Theater.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I'm going to Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania Battlefield fields.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, yeah, that'll be good.

[Julio Gallarotti]

That'll be good. Petersburg Battlefield, George Washington Birthplace, Busha T Washington National Historic Site. And up Appomattox Courthouse, Colonial National Historic Park.

[Blutman]

These all have to start to blend, though.

[Julio Gallarotti]

No, they don't at all. Which is.

[Blutman]

They don't at all.

[Julio Gallarotti]

They don't at all.

[Blutman]

There's 400 some.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I've never experienced any overlap. It's the most perfectly curated collection I've ever seen of something.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, my God.

[Blutman]

Are there multiple courthouses on the register?

[Ad Read Announcer]

History?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Like, maybe, but, but, but, dude, I'm telling you, there's no. I've never experienced a drop of overlap at all.

[Danny]

Don't like a lot of those houses, like the presidential homes from that era. How do they differ?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, so house, for the most part, they're pretty. They're. They're pretty awesome. I mean, either because you end up in the middle of nowhere because you can't, like, arrange these historical things in a convenient way, so you end up in some of the most insane places by doing that. So that'll be cool. The grounds will be really beautifully curated, or you'll, like, learn about some crazy you never knew about before. Or, like, there'll be some story about it that makes it interesting.

[Ed]

What's been the most underwhelming,

[Julio Gallarotti]

probably There's a couple, I think, like, but I. I still think they're all really great. But if I had to pick the Martin Van Buren National Historic Site.

[Blutman]

Oh, what a snooze.

[Liam]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But, I mean, he did, like, theoretically sort of come up with the modern party system in that house. But, like, it's off. I know.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, now I have an idea in the house. We gotta go see where this idea came out.

[Julio Gallarotti]

It's toward the bottom, but, like, it's not in an inch. It's not in that interesting of an area. It's off of a main road. It's not that pretty. And maybe it's because I'm, like, used to the northeast, but. Yeah. And it's, like, not the house itself. Is that. Isn't that.

[Kate]

Were you walking around the house? Like, I think this is where he had the.

[Blutman]

I feel like this is where it was.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Well, it was old enough getting.

[Blutman]

I feel like I could brainstorm here.

[Julio Gallarotti]

It's old enough that they don't have a lot of the original furniture, which also.

[Blutman]

Oh, dude. So it's just a. A modern house?

[Julio Gallarotti]

No, it's not like. No, it's an old house, but the

[Blutman]

inside doesn't have any. Anything original.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Not. Not a ton. Bean bag, they say. Architecturally, it's sort of like. Which didn't call to me, but anyway, so that's like. There's also one.

[Blutman]

Lucas, can we see this?

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Also, there's this one called Hoho Cam Pima, which is in Arizona. It's just not there because they, like, covered it up, so people can't. Can't go to it, which I found interesting. I found that more interesting than.

[Blutman]

Than the Martin Van Buren house, the one you couldn't go to.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Is there any nearby here?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, the Pullman National Monument is in Chicago. Also, part of the Emmett Till monument is in Chicago.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

The sort of less significant part of it, like, I think where they had his funeral. Funeral. But there's a lot. Yeah, there's. And also the Indiana dunes are close to here.

[Blutman]

Oh, yeah.

[Danny]

I remember growing up, I probably went to Abraham Lincoln's childhood home four different times.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, yeah.

[Danny]

Which field trip.

[Kyle Bowers]

You're probably gonna overlap with a lot of four.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I've been to that one.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Sometimes there's some field trip stuff, but they found out that that's not the actual home.

[Danny]

Oh, give me.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But it's still cool. It's like.

[Blutman]

How is it still cool?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Well, because it, like, you see just how modest his upbringing was and, like, how unique that is. For a president? Because usually. Usually a lot of the time, they come from, like, high. High society.

[Liam]

Whose home is it?

[Julio Gallarotti]

It's this tiny little log cabin, but it looks exactly like what it would have looked like. It's his birth home. It's in Kentucky, so it's like. It's like it could fit in this room.

[Liam]

Oh, okay.

[Danny]

I was talking about the one in Springfield.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Ah, okay. Okay. Yeah, Yeah. I have not been to that one yet.

[Lucas]

I'll be honest.

[Danny]

You're not missing much.

[Lucas]

I didn't listen to that because I found the clip.

[Liam]

Oh, good job, Lucas.

[Kate]

Oh, no, I'm afraid.

[Lucas]

Well, the chat found, like.

[Ed]

Yeah. Maybe even spin it like, I like.

[Blutman]

I like when you act cunty to me.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Makes me horny.

[Kyle Bowers]

I actually get.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Don't stop now.

[Blutman]

I get turned on when you're absolute. Oh, boy.

[Danny]

Okay.

[Lucas]

Got your.

[Blutman]

If you want, I'll it out of you. Oh, this is the. The cunt out of you.

[Kyle Bowers]

This is hypothetic.

[Blutman]

If you want to stop being a. I will happily.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Is there any. She's watching right now.

[Danny]

This wasn't even that long.

[Blutman]

Let's hear Kate. That's good.

[Ed]

Yeah, that is good.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Although it would be good if she's

[Ed]

watching, because then she'd probably be like, you know what?

[Blutman]

I do need to come out. Yeah, that's like, the most crass sentence. Oh, my God. That needs the. Thank you. So it wasn't me, Bro.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You said it more than anybody.

[Blutman]

But I highlighted how disgusting it was.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, I don't think.

[Blutman]

And then you went home. Home. And told on us.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I didn't tell on you. I was like. I was like, listen, like, I should have stuck up for you more today.

[Blutman]

Give me a palate cleanse of Martin Van Buren's home. Dig that up. It wasn't me.

[Ed]

Yeah, you big Morgan Spurlocka.

[Blutman]

Yeah, we were boys.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But anyway.

[Blutman]

Were you just Japanese?

[Kyle Bowers]

But no.

[Kate]

Oh, fancy.

[Blutman]

Nuh.

[Julio Gallarotti]

The grounds are, like, not that great. I don't know.

[Kate]

I went to a president's childhood home in Texas, but I don't remember the president.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Linda Johnson, maybe. Yeah, that's a good one.

[Blutman]

Are all the president's homes.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Not all of them. Which I. I wondered about why that would have been. Well, maybe the presidents that have, like, bad legacies, maybe they just, like, want to leave them out or something.

[Blutman]

Warren G. I don't.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, he was a Buchanan. I've been to Martin.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Interesting. Interesting. I don't know if. If he has one.

[Ed]

Have you been to all the libraries?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I've been to the Roosevelt one. That's part of his. His site, which is in upstate New York. I'm not sure. The Truman's house is pretty cool in Independence, Missouri. It's like picturesque town of the time that you just like, picture like this time in America. But it was amazing and everybody was happy and before, like, Vietnam and stuff.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I don't know. Yeah, there's a lot of good. There's a lot of good stuff in there.

[Kyle Bowers]

Did we talk about you wowing the South Sudanese locals and making the news?

[Julio Gallarotti]

No.

[Blutman]

Oh, it's fine.

[Kyle Bowers]

That was pretty cool.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

You wowed them with dance.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I was dead. I was doing the. I was trying to do this, like, cow hurdle herder dance. They did you. And it got picked up on one of their Facebook pages and people were like, joking about it. They're like, this kaja is hilarious.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, they thought it was funny and not cool and smooth?

[Julio Gallarotti]

No. I think. I don't know. I. I can't tell. They might have been being sarcastic. I don't. I don't know that I looked that cool and smooth, but I appreciated that they liked it. Yeah, It's a good, good looking group, those South Sudanese.

[Kyle Bowers]

They're tall as, right?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Tall, like, great skin. Everybody's like, really good looking and naturally fit.

[Kyle Bowers]

They are.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

It made me remember their basketball team, like, was really impressive.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the dangs Manu balls are suited. I think there's a few. But anyway, yeah, it was pretty sick.

[Ed]

Would you do North Sentinel island if you were given the opportunity?

[Julio Gallarotti]

If they were like, they know you're coming and they're cool with it. Yeah.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But if not, if they're like, you know, they might kill you. I would.

[Kyle Bowers]

Wouldn't. But there's. There's other ones that would be more

[Julio Gallarotti]

approachable, right, as far as, like, untouched tribes.

[Kyle Bowers]

Well, actually, you can't.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Right.

[Kyle Bowers]

Because you'd give them diseases.

[Blutman]

Julio, specifically.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Wait, but. But is that the North Sentinel island problem? I thought they just, like, are hostile towards visitors, but I think.

[Blutman]

Oh, yeah, drop a pin. They interviewed a guy that, like, snuck on there and he was kind of. He was definitely a dickhead head. He, like, left him Coca Cola and stuff. It was weird.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. A lot of the time. Yeah. I don't know. I think I'd want to do it. I don't know about making a video, though, even though it probably do. Well. It just feels like a dick move.

[Blutman]

Would you do North Korea?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to run in the Marathon.

[Blutman]

Really?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Do you know about this? The marathon? They fill the Olympic stadium. So like you literally get run. You're running a marathon like you're in the Olympics. It's sick.

[Liam]

I met a guy who said the last country he has to visit is North Korea. He was on his way there in two weeks to run the marathon.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I got canceled.

[Kyle Bowers]

Wow, canceled cancel.

[Julio Gallarotti]

This guy I knew was going to run in it also. I don't know. They just canceled it.

[Blutman]

Anybody can run in it.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Like, yeah, I think there's like a limited amount of. Of spaces. But if you register through the tour company, then they can get you in.

[Kate]

Abruptly canceled. No reason.

[Kyle Bowers]

Are you allowed to beat them?

[Julio Gallarotti]

So like I think it's mostly amateurs running. I think. I don't know for sure, but I mean, not that I'd be able to. I thought, you know, I think who the fastest man wins, you know.

[Blutman]

But did it say it's only a four hour time limit?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I didn't see that. But I would like to do this

[Blutman]

for the full marathon.

[Danny]

Thinking about going to North Korea.

[Blutman]

It changed everything.

[Lucas]

I've inside information he signed up for the Chicago one again.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Not so inside, Lucas.

[Blutman]

Yeah, he's told everybody. How'd you figure out Lucas? He's been telling everyone, dude, exodus right after.

[Lucas]

He's did it too.

[Blutman]

I just felt him behind me as I was pissing and as air comes.

[Julio Gallarotti]

How do overweight people do marathons?

[Blutman]

What brought that up?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I'm just. I'm literally just wondering like, have you ever been to a marathon and you just see people like, who are like, yeah, I'm running the marathon and they run in the marathon and successfully?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, completely fatly and well.

[Julio Gallarotti]

How do they do that?

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh my.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I don't think I could do it.

[Kate]

I think marathon's more brain power than body. Like I think pretty much anything.

[Blutman]

That's how min does it.

[Kate]

I did one without training.

[Blutman]

You did one?

[Kate]

Yes, I've done a couple and You've done a couple. I went out, partied fucking hard that Friday night, like got super fucked up. And I ran the marathon on Sunday and I was fine. I got high the night before too. I watched. It was the first time ever watching the Eric Andre show. Stayed up to like 4am the morning of the marathon. I was like, this is great.

[Julio Gallarotti]

And this is pre or post back problems.

[Kate]

This is pre. This is like in my 20s. But like it. As long as you can just keep putting one foot in front of the other. The time limit. You have like 10 hours to finish it.

[Danny]

Yeah. There's, like, different categories.

[Kate]

Anybody can do.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I don't think I could even walk it.

[Ed]

No.

[Kate]

There was old people. There was barefoot people. There was, like, firefighters wearing full, like, gear. There was people in costumes, people on stilts, people on, like, passing you. It was crazy. And they.

[Kyle Bowers]

26. But you still. You stayed up all night and still did it pretty easily.

[Kate]

I mean, I was slow as. I think it took, like, finished four and a half, five hours, but I. Yeah, yeah. By the end, I was literally, like, just chat. Calling my friends on the phone, like, chatting. Being like, I'm bored. Can you just, like, chat me up? You're resilient, but it's like, all. That's all you need is to just be able to keep going.

[Blutman]

So would you say you're a. If you just can't do it kind of, Lucas?

[Kate]

No, I. Oh, no, no, no.

[Blutman]

I don't think it's fine.

[Kate]

No, I don't think that. You also have to cover your body in astroglide. A lot of. Not astro glide.

[Blutman]

That was from the night before as well, Kate. That just drizzled down.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Down.

[Kate]

My thighs have never been smoother. No chafing at all?

[Blutman]

No.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

No. You just. You never know how you want to celebrate finishing the marathon.

[Kate]

I think that's people's biggest mistake is they don't prepare for the chafing.

[Blutman]

Lucas, is that what happened to you?

[Lucas]

No, I did all that, and I still couldn't do it.

[Kate]

That's okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Did you chafe?

[Lucas]

No, I put baby powder all in my pants.

[Danny]

Gotta have balls first. Oh, just kidding, Lucas.

[Kate]

Yeah, it is. I'm not saying it's easy.

[Danny]

I feel like you need to distract yourself, right?

[Kate]

Yeah. As long as your brain is busy.

[Ed]

You probably didn't even bring, like, music.

[Kate]

I had. I did a ton of standup comedy, and I listened to standup towards the end because you do get. I was so bored.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kate]

It's like, I did music in the beginning and then stand up, and then I called people, and I was like, can you just tell me fun stuff?

[Julio Gallarotti]

You weren't, like, too winded to talk?

[Kate]

I was walking half the time. I was like, I would jog a few miles, and then I'd speedwalk, and then I'd jog a few miles and speed. I'm just saying, like, I. I don't know if that counts, that I walked some of it, but of course.

[Blutman]

When is the marathon here?

[Kyle Bowers]

October.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Okay.

[Blutman]

Yeah, we'll be hearing about it a lot.

[Ed]

Is he. Because you got to donate to His. His cause for him to run, right?

[Blutman]

That's right.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Does he still do Hogs for the cause? Is he still.

[Ed]

I haven't heard about Hogs for the cost. That's a good point.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Damn.

[Kyle Bowers]

It's been a while.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

What happened?

[Kate]

Did he fall out with Hogs?

[Blutman]

Is he here today?

[Liam]

I haven't heard him.

[Kate]

Also, has he gotten an update on the Masters?

[Blutman]

Oh, that might be.

[Ed]

I don't know.

[Blutman]

Know.

[Kate]

Is that next weekend or this weekend?

[Ed]

Next weekend.

[Kate]

Next weekend. Okay.

[Blutman]

He pro. He probably left then to go today, Right.

[Kate]

You got to get there ahead of time.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Is it true that they've made it more difficult to get tickets now, even though it was already impossible?

[Blutman]

I have no idea. Apparently, I know nothing about.

[Ed]

It's always been very hard, but.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Ed]

So that's why. I don't know.

[Blutman]

Do you have a desire to go, Ed?

[Ed]

I went to a practice round a few years ago.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Ed]

And it was. It was a cool experience because. And I wasn't really a huge golf guy at that point. Like, I started playing golf a couple years ago, but it's cool because of all the rules, which sounds stupid, but it was. It was weird to be somewhere without a phone and be like, hey, if we get. If we split up, like, meet at this tree, you know? Like, it was. It was just. I don't know, just a throwback to a different time.

[Julio Gallarotti]

And, like, the. The food menu is, like, notoriously affordable.

[Blutman]

Right?

[Ed]

Exactly. Yeah. And. And truly, like, we did get lost at some point. It's like, all right, I'm gonna stand by the tree.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Ed]

So that was cool.

[Blutman]

Yeah. Yeah. I think I would like that.

[Kate]

I went to. I don't know if it was the US Open or what, but it was Torrey Pines and, like, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, like, they were all there, and we had to turn in all our stuff or whatever. And I thought it was going to be hoity toity, but people were, like. People were drinking hard, going nuts. Like, people were. It was like a party, and you're just all outside in this beautiful space, and, like, even if you're not that into golf, it's really fun.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Kate]

It's, like, just a cool. It also feels crazy to stand so close in front of people driving the mall.

[Ed]

Oh, yeah. It's like, they're so good.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Ed]

And, like, you. You can't bring in your. Like, I said, you can't bring in your phone, but you can bring in cameras. So we. We saw people with a camera. We're like, hey, Will you take our picture in front of the sign? Like, yeah, no problem. What's your email? And then we would have to remember, everyone had like, like frank52@gmail doc. You know what I mean? Because we got to email this guy for our photo.

[Blutman]

You gotta put in your photo.

[Ed]

Yes, yes, we did. Yes. And everyone had a different part of the guy's email. Oh, you're Frank, you're Martin, you're 22, you know, whatever. And then, like, that's how we got our picture.

[Danny]

If they don't care about pictures, then why don't they allow phones? Just like an old school.

[Ed]

I think it's probably old school. And they want you to be like, more present. They don't want people, I don't know, recording stuff because there's no video. But it's got to be still photos taken with it.

[Kate]

I had the noise too. Like if your alarm went off or your phone went off when somebody was.

[Ed]

Huh. Yeah. No, so that was cool.

[Blutman]

But are you a guy that longs for the past like that?

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Ed]

So I think I would have enjoyed that.

[Blutman]

Like, do you think about. Do you miss. Do you. Do you oftentimes, like, just reminisce? Me and Brandon, I think are always do.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

No, I don't want nostalgia. Nostalgia plagued.

[Ed]

Yeah, I'm definitely like that.

[Blutman]

Okay.

[Ed]

But I. I do think there is a. There. I. I kind of agree with the fact that we did kind of have the best of both worlds.

[Danny]

Yeah. There's such a clear divide. Like, it'd be so different for kids now growing up who just had their whole lives with iPhones, iPads.

[Ed]

Yeah. Like, how old are you, Julio?

[Julio Gallarotti]

39.

[Ed]

Okay. Yeah. So like, whoa.

[Kate]

I just bought one of those little cubes that turns your phone. Phone. All your apps off.

[Blutman]

Really?

[Kate]

Because I'm like, I'm on it too much. It's like.

[Blutman]

Yeah, yeah. Especially you gotta buy something that turns off your phone.

[Kate]

My app, my phone's on, like, I get messages, but it turns off all your social media.

[Blutman]

Really? Yeah, by like pressing it against the phone.

[Kate]

You just like, click. You, like, click the apps you want. You're not able to access it. And then you just tap it on this little block and.

[Ed]

Wow.

[Kate]

You can't access your. You get five emergency accesses if you have to, like, really check.

[Blutman]

Have you used any?

[Kate]

No.

[Blutman]

Nice.

[Kate]

I haven't yet, but just with like, I keep catching myself. I'm like, with my kids and I'll be like, checking something. I'm like, put your phone down like, and so that's. So when I'm with my kids, I'm just going to.

[Ed]

But you don't doom. Scroll that much anymore, right? You just kind of.

[Kate]

No, but, like, at night when I could be reading or, like, doing other. Like, I'm trying to get into mosaics. Pretty sick. Mosaics.

[Blutman]

You're trying to get into mosaics?

[Kate]

Yeah, I like, instead of doing that, I'm like. I could have just been working on that. I just did. I just scrolled on Tik Tok for Liam.

[Blutman]

Would you ever do that out.

[Liam]

Do the what? The phone and cube.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Liam]

No, No, I. How meek freaks out about his phone. I'm not that far off that.

[Blutman]

Could you. What if you were somewhere where you didn't have any service or Internet is what it is.

[Ad Read Announcer]

What would.

[Blutman]

But, like, what. What would you do?

[Kyle Bowers]

Do?

[Liam]

I don't know. Why is there to do in this place? I would. I would do things.

[Kyle Bowers]

Place?

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Liam]

Yeah. Depends on play. If it was in, like, the middle of. I don't know, it was like, somewhere in the middle of nowhere and it was cold, I would go outside and. Oh, you'd go watch the snow and the penguins and polar bears.

[Blutman]

Okay. Oh, you're thinking, like, Antarctica.

[Danny]

Yeah, if I happen to be in Antarctica.

[Liam]

If I happen to be in the middle of Antarctica or Canada or Alaska.

[John G]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Yeah.

[Liam]

That stuff's easy.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Liam, are you a good tennis player?

[Liam]

No, I never played.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You're. You have to be the most knowledgeable tennis person who doesn't really play.

[Liam]

If that's true that I. James, should make me a banner for that.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I think it's. It's uncommon. I remember, like, realizing how deep you were into tennis for the first time. I was like, this guy must have, like, he knows a lot, been really good or something.

[Kyle Bowers]

But you played, right?

[Liam]

You've hit a. Oh, I. I hit the racket inside our. Like, on the court, and then sometimes I've hit the racket outside off the wall. But now we got so many people, so the parking kind of messes with that.

[Julio Gallarotti]

How'd you get so into it?

[Liam]

My friend got me into golf and tennis in, like, 2022.

[Danny]

Oh, yeah.

[Blutman]

It hasn't been that long.

[Liam]

No.

[Blutman]

When did you start working here?

[Liam]

2023. The end of 2023? No, October. I moved here in December. I watched the first, like, tennis tournament I watched was 2022 Australian Open. And one of the first matches I actually pay attention to was the final, the Medvedev Nadal match. But I went to bed after the second set, and I Woke up, saw Nadal, came back in 1, 3, 2, and was like, kind of hooked on it from that. Like, what the heck? This guy was dead in the water. He had no shot wing. Right. Like, you're never truly out of it in the sport. And that fascinated me. So I just dove in the 10 sense.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Cool.

[Kate]

You see the tongue thing?

[Julio Gallarotti]

What's the. Oh, the Agassi Boris Becker.

[Kate]

There was this guy, was it Agassi could never beat the guy?

[Julio Gallarotti]

No. Agassi returned his serve really well because he didn't realize that he was sticking his tongue out in the direction he was going to serve.

[Kate]

Yeah. This one guy, like, nobody could defeat him. And then finally, Agassiz is the one who figured it out with his song. He noticed that whenever the guy hit the ball this way, he took his tongue out this way right beforehand.

[Liam]

Really?

[Kate]

And the other guy could not figure out how. Agassi was like, stopping him reading his for like 20 years.

[Kyle Bowers]

So this just came out, like, recently.

[Kate]

I just thought this was interesting.

[Julio Gallarotti]

It's awesome.

[Kyle Bowers]

Fake hair.

[John G]

Who beat me the first three times we. We played because his serve was something the game had never seen before. I watched tape after tape of him and, and, and stood across the net from him three different times. And I started to realize he had this weird tick with his tongue. I'm not kidding. He would go into his. His rocking motion, his. His same routine. And just as he was about to toss the ball, he would stick his tongue out and it would either be right in the middle of his lip or it would be to the left corner of his lip. So if he's serving in the deuce court and he put his tongue in the middle of his lip, he was either serving up the middle or to the body. But if you put it to the side, he was going to serve out. What the hardest part wasn't wasn't returning a serve. The hardest part was not letting him know that I knew. Knew this. So I had to resist the temptation of reading his serve for the majority of the match and choose the moments when I was going to use that information on a given point. I told him at Oktoberfest. We went out in Oktoberfest in Germany and had a. Had a pint of beer together. And I couldn't help but say, by the way, did you know you used to do this and give away your serve? He about fell off the chair. And he says, I used to go home all the time and just tell my wife. It's like he reads my mind.

[Kyle Bowers]

I love that.

[Blutman]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Kate]

Isn't that cool? I would never. I would watch.

[Kyle Bowers]

Still hard to do, right?

[Kate]

Yes.

[Blutman]

Yeah. From across the court. And then you have a split second.

[Kyle Bowers]

Eat his tongue.

[Kate]

And then to choose when to read it and when not to for I don't know. It's a different level of brain power. Power.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Pretty cool. So like, do you have gaps in your knowledge because you just started learning about it. Like, do you know about like the 2003, whatever, French Open?

[Ad Read Announcer]

Nope.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. Crazy. Crazy.

[Liam]

I only know the recent stuff that I picked up on and everything.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Cool.

[Kyle Bowers]

Fair enough.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I love it. Dude.

[Kate]

Julia, do you still play?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Like I like to, but I'm just. My body's just all up.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Shape. I. I would like to start playing again, but I don't play much now.

[Blutman]

Play Kyle.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I know.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah, I don't have it.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But you've been improving steadily, right?

[Kyle Bowers]

No.

[Blutman]

Remember when I saw a video and I thought it was you playing against your fiance and I messaged you, I was like, dude, you've gotten really good.

[Kyle Bowers]

It was a really talented male partner.

[Blutman]

What's his name?

[Ed]

Fuck.

[Kyle Bowers]

It's something.

[Blutman]

It was hot. And he was just like a little taller than you. That was the dead giveaway.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

I remember. I went out of my way. You've improved so much. You hit me with a side. You're like, no, that's Fernando.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah. I made her start playing him. I don't know what's more of a cuck move, losing to her devastatingly every time or having her play a better fit.

[Blutman]

Man, were you so demoralized losing to her that you're just like, just.

[Kyle Bowers]

I didn't even lose to her. I just like. She didn't even try. So that was tough.

[Blutman]

Go have fun with him.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

Send her off to him. I'll polish your national championship trophies.

[Blutman]

I'll be at home polishing.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Do you ever go to Cincinnati, Liam?

[Liam]

Yeah, I went in 2024. Yeah, I enjoyed it. I liked it. That's why I went with Marty and. And Marty got return stars from like Alar. Yeah, the. The, like the word's so overused now, but the aura of those guys that close is bananas.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, totally.

[Kyle Bowers]

I agree.

[Liam]

Is there's something about like the level of them. It's like being in a solo sport, I think completely. I don't know how to word it correctly, but I think you know what I'm saying, Like height and it.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh my God. By a significant intensity of a one on one, four hour battle.

[Liam]

Yeah, I know. I just mean Like, I don't know. The I can't find the words, I'm not a good words guy aura is

[Julio Gallarotti]

a good one, though.

[Blutman]

How do wrestlers have that same aura?

[Kyle Bowers]

It's very different. Oh, the one on one aspect is the same, but, like, tennis goes for so long, and it's so me. It's like you go through probably so many different emotions. Wrestling is more. It's such. Such a fast match that it's just pure beast.

[Blutman]

Just pure beast.

[Liam]

Yeah, your beast.

[Danny]

Have they lost a lot of pro tennis players to pickleball?

[Liam]

No, no, the. The ones that are washed up.

[Julio Gallarotti]

The ones that are done, yes, we'll pick it up.

[Kyle Bowers]

But they're getting, like, big contracts.

[Blutman]

Pickleballers.

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah. To play for these pro teams.

[Liam]

Pickleballs.

[Ed]

Like, do you loathe pickleball?

[Julio Gallarotti]

No.

[Ed]

No.

[Liam]

Yes.

[Julio Gallarotti]

No, I like it. I like other racket sports, especially pickleball, because, like, I show up and I'm like, better than people who play all the time, which is a nice feeling. And I'm, like, asking them what the rules are, which is a sick feeling.

[Blutman]

What about pingpong?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Ping pong, I'm very good at, but, like, there's certain rack sports. Like, Padel is. There's a learning curve.

[Blutman]

Like, aren't you playing that today?

[Julio Gallarotti]

No. Oh, tomorrow.

[Danny]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But, like, you can't just show up and play that. It's a different game. Like, and tennis players think that they can, and they're wrong because, like, the. The glass and the way you play is, like, very different. But, like, pickle ball, pick it up in two seconds. Ping pong, typically, is also true.

[Kate]

What's one, like, rich Wall street dudes play? It's the wall. Oh, that's p. Okay.

[Ed]

Is that racketball? Is it the same things?

[Julio Gallarotti]

No, it's like, it's like a combination of squash and paddle tennis. Then squash is just, like a different racket. It's like a long racket and like, a little ball. And Padel, you play with an actual tennis ball.

[Kate]

What's in Western PA has. Is it wall ball or something like that? I know until I went to iup, I'd never heard of it. And all the kids that were playing it, it's in that similar court. I think you use the same court. You don't know what I'm talking about. It's called, like, happy ball or wall ball or something like that.

[Danny]

Wall balls, like, when you throw it.

[Kate]

But it's a whole big group in there.

[Danny]

But no rackets, right?

[Kate]

No rackets. And there Was like, clubs and, like, people loved it. I wish I could think of the name of it.

[Danny]

It's like a. I didn't know.

[Blutman]

Yeah, like, we had to beam it at their butt.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Dude.

[Kyle Bowers]

No slinging at their ass.

[Blutman]

Yeah, it was. We called that butt ball.

[Kate]

No, it wasn't butt ball. We called that red butt.

[Blutman]

You called that red butt up.

[Danny]

You.

[Blutman]

You called it butts up.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Butts up is like a literal tennis game, too.

[Liam]

Yeah. Ben Shelton did that against Marty. Almost nailed him with, like, 124 hand right in the butt, but he missed him a little.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, you. You play like, basically, like, little games in the service box, and whoever loses has to bend over on the baseline

[Kyle Bowers]

and you serve them a real tennis.

[Blutman]

I mean, yours had have been impossible to miss my.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I know.

[Kyle Bowers]

Big strike zone.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I have a disadvantage. I have a disadvantage. Big tush. What are you going to do?

[Blutman]

Did you play in college?

[Kyle Bowers]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Kyle Bowers]

Boston. You?

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You know.

[Blutman]

Oh, just get. Give your fiance to Julio.

[Kyle Bowers]

Have her play you.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I mean, she seems like she's still like, got it, so she probably. Wh. My ass.

[Kyle Bowers]

I don't know, but I know she does still have it. Yeah, but I don't know. Like, you're.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You know what? I'm open.

[Kyle Bowers]

I. I'm open to her Division 1 as well.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Oh, yeah. I mean, but she played big here.

[Kyle Bowers]

Strong man.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I mean, you know, I don't like my chances, but I'd be open to hitting with her sometime for sure.

[Blutman]

Really?

[Kyle Bowers]

Like, really open.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You know, me and Fernando and her out there. Damn it.

[Kyle Bowers]

In a round robin, dude.

[Blutman]

After her sesh with Julia, she comes home drenched in sweat, and first thing she says is, he's funny. Oh, he was killing.

[Kyle Bowers]

What? A session. Oh.

[Kate]

Kyle turns around with a tray of pizza rolls. Oh, yeah,

[Julio Gallarotti]

That's funny, dude. That's funny.

[Blutman]

Nightmare.

[Julio Gallarotti]

College tennis sucks, though, because, like, you can cheat.

[Blutman]

What? Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You call. Yeah. You call your own lines and like this.

[Kyle Bowers]

I found this out. Unbelievably crazy.

[Julio Gallarotti]

You'll be like, there'll be like, a roaming official and like. Like, they're usually really old and can't see and will never. And will never overrule. And I'm sure now, like, the bigger programs, do they have automatic line calling yet?

[Liam]

I saw a clip, I think, like, last year of someone just calling the lines completely.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, basically, it's. It's sort of like mutually assured destruction. So, like, if. If. If you call a ball out against me in the middle of the court, I Then have to do that back to you. And, like, you'll see people do it. Like, there's a guy on my team who used to do it. And. And he just cheated so bad in the middle of a point. And the guy on the other team quit. He goes, I quit this. And he goes, how do you sleep at night? And the guy from my team goes, with a girl.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, is that stolen? Because that's pretty good.

[Julio Gallarotti]

What a line. I was like. But that's the. Like, it was absolutely ruthless. I hated it. Like, it.

[Kyle Bowers]

You can just. In, like, the heat of battle when you're at your most competitive, when the implications are so high, you can just say, nope, that wasn't it.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. As the great Alejandro once said from Tulsa, he goes, the line is out, man. You just cheat. You just cheat. And, like, I knew. I'm like, if this guy cheats, I'm not gonna, like, do about it. I'm just gonna, like, let him cheat, and there's nothing I can do. Damn.

[Blutman]

Or you ever even. Were you tempted?

[Julio Gallarotti]

You. I mean, you. You cheat. I. I did, too. Everybody did. If a ball is close, see, if it's important, you call it out.

[Blutman]

That seems pretty broken.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I know. It sucks. I got overruled on match point one time in the conference tournament. Tournament. Okay. We're playing Stony Brook ball on the line. I called it out. They overruled me.

[Kyle Bowers]

Damn.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I know.

[Kyle Bowers]

Sport is rooted in casual cheating.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah. So like, and. And that's like, you watch professional tennis, and these guys, they. At the net, they're hugging. They might as well be jerking each other off. And it's because they don't have to call their own lines. If they're calling their own lines, forget about it. Yeah, it makes no sense, like, at a competitive level to have to call your own.

[Blutman]

What's the reasoning?

[Julio Gallarotti]

There's just. You don't, like. You know, it's not like a big money generator. College town is so, like, there's no way to have a. A, A line judge on every court, you know? I mean, so, like, if you even have one at all, some of our matches, there wouldn't even be one.

[Liam]

Yeah. College tense is just weird. Penn State's men's tennis account, I believe, tweeted, huge ranked win. And then the graphics showed they beat Northwestern rank, like, number 68.

[Kyle Bowers]

Oh, yeah.

[Liam]

They ranked the top 70.

[Blutman]

Really?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But now, like, the Ivies are really, really good now, and, like, they were better than us back then, and they were already really good, but now they're even better. But, like, it sucks going pulling up to Harvard. They. They start their B team, and they still kick your ass. Like you have nothing. Like, you're just dumber and poorer and worse at tennis, and you just go back across the river to kill yourself.

[Liam]

Like, yeah, yeah, Columbia. Columbia is, like, the number one kid right now. Michael James, who played in the Australian Open, won a match there against, like, a top 30, 35 player. Comes back to play college tennis, like, a week later and loses to some freshman at Michigan. It's such a bizarre sport.

[Kyle Bowers]

Freshman, man, he's freshman.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But anyway, yeah, it was fun, I guess.

[Ed]

Did you like the movie Challengers?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I thought it was all right. Sometimes it's hard. They really struggle to, like, get the tennis down. Even though they use a lot of, like. Like, grab, like, you know, CGI and stuff, the. It's still, like, unforgivably. The technique is still unforgivably bad, but apparently they really nailed the challenger tour. Like, the idiosyncrasies of it. Everyone's saying this is, like, spot on, but that was all right.

[Lucas]

Liam's never seen it.

[Kyle Bowers]

Movie.

[Liam]

Yeah. You tried to get me to watch it 12 times.

[Blutman]

You won't watch CH.

[Liam]

It's not interesting.

[Blutman]

Lucas, why are you trying to get him to watch it so bad?

[Lucas]

He wants to be a tennis guy. He's got to watch the tennis movie.

[Liam]

Not really a movie. Movies guy.

[Ed]

It's a good movie.

[Kyle Bowers]

It is. I thought it was good.

[Julio Gallarotti]

It's definitely sexually charged.

[Ed]

Yeah. Oh, she's got a movie that comes

[Julio Gallarotti]

out today with Robert Pattinson.

[Ed]

Yeah, the drama.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Did you see that clip where they're laughing about the fact that neither of their partners are jealous that they spent so much time together?

[Ed]

No, I didn't.

[Julio Gallarotti]

It was weird. Like, are your partners jealous? They were like, I don't know. I don't know what it meant, if it meant that.

[Ed]

Are we in the era of, like, this two stars just now or that's what that's like?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I wasn't sure.

[Blutman]

Like, I think that's almost intentional. They want you to think that.

[Ed]

You think so.

[Blutman]

Like, oh, man, they're on screen. Chemistry must be amazing.

[Lucas]

They were actually saying for this one that this is the least amount. They're doing that with, like, marketing. Like, they're not pretending to be. Like, they're together, and they've.

[Danny]

They've really overdone it. Jacob Lord.

[Blutman]

Yeah. Like, it's just like, them. Will they. I think that would.

[Kyle Bowers]

That wouldn't make me want to watch the movie more.

[Ed]

More.

[Kyle Bowers]

That made me think of them too much as people instead of.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Do you get jealous when your partners talk about how attractive extremely famous celebrities are?

[Kyle Bowers]

My mind does. Jesus does a good job of not doing that in front of me.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Would you be.

[Kyle Bowers]

I wouldn't. No.

[Kate]

No. I don't mind.

[Kyle Bowers]

Unless it was like, do you maybe

[Blutman]

if it was like, you're jealous.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Yeah.

[Ed]

Really.

[Julio Gallarotti]

But I. I can.

[Kyle Bowers]

Francisco or someone.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Someone you knew.

[Kate]

You notice every now and then he'll accidentally have his for you page up on Instagram. I'm like, what the is that? I'm like, come on.

[Julio Gallarotti]

That's just automatic, by the way.

[Kyle Bowers]

Tits are automatic.

[Blutman]

Yeah.

[Kyle Bowers]

As a non non tick guy and they just.

[Kate]

Yeah, he's been telling me. I don't. Okay. Because mine's like kittens and babies. I don't have any of that stuff. I don't have. Have like bulges and sweatpants on my page.

[Kyle Bowers]

I get that too. Yeah.

[Kate]

Tits and bulge. That's.

[Kyle Bowers]

It's a lot of that.

[Blutman]

[Kate]

Have you been.

[Blutman]

Wait. Yeah.

[Kate]

It's a cool little city.

He said so he's gonna bring some of his broads.

[Blutman]

So what's, what's the, what's the theater hold?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I don't know.

[Blutman]

I'm not sure because I don't know if it's enough for him.

[Julio Gallarotti]

It might not be enough for him. I think it's a small venue. They're mostly medium sized venues. So scattered across the country. I got. Got Fort Worth coming up at the end of the month and then Saint Pete in May and so on and so forth. So check it out.

[Blutman]

Nahulio.com you only do standup so you can visit President's houses.

[Julio Gallarotti]

So I, I always tack on when I can. I'm doing Lincoln, Nebraska. I'm going to go to the Homestead National Historic Site.

[Blutman]

And what is that?

[Julio Gallarotti]

I'm not totally sure. I try not to read. I try not to read up too much on them before so I can be surprised.

[Blutman]

And how much time do you spend at these places?

[Julio Gallarotti]

As much as possible.

[Blutman]

Really.

[Julio Gallarotti]

Sometimes it'll be. Be fast and easy. Those are the dates. Thank you. But you know, Yellowstone for example, I, I'm not going to go for a week so I'll try to make like a really good plan.

[Julio Gallarotti]

They can be a little row. Rowdy.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I feel like war. But it's a good time. They can. They. I love it up there, man. I love.

[Danny]

Just make your whole Lancaster show crowd work.

[Julio Gallarotti]

I've already been to all the parks that are nearby, like the St. Pete one, Atlanta, but most of them Nashville, D.C. i've been to all of them that are in D.C. so slowly but surely, I got to start doing trips for it. But for Anchorage, I'm chartering a plane to go into Lake Clark National Park.

[Danny]
