Telling jokes and having smokes
Riding bikes all through the night
It's a wild ride
When you're being Ian
Coffee ice no matter what
Now you know he likes it in the butt
Hey, Ian here.
Just want to let you know he means giving it, not getting it.
Okay, thanks.
Back to the song.
It's a wild ride when you're being Ian, being Ian.
Life is shit, but you're positive.
Let's find out what it's like to live a lie.
Being Ian, being Ian. With Jordan. What is that?
Hold on.
I'll get it.
That's the blowing of the shofar.
Wait, is that how you start shows?
Well.
Like this.
Dude.
The king of ska.
Welcome to P&E.
It's everything I thought it would be so far.
That's good, right?
Yeah.
You bitched about the fucking lava lamp not working for 25 minutes.
The producer's ripping his nuts over here. Did you get it working?
Nah.
Well, this motherfucker stayed here last night,
and I got Carl living in the basement, Basement Carl.
Carl's gone.
Oh, I thought this was the guy you were talking about. No, no, no. This basement, Basement Carl. And Carl's gone. Oh, I thought this was the guy you were talking about.
No, no, no.
This isn't Basement Carl.
Oh.
This is producer Jordy.
I know, Jordy.
That's why when I met you,
I was like,
this guy's got his shit together.
Why is he living in your fucking basement?
Yeah, well, Carl's gone.
He's got all these cameras.
This is nice shit.
Sell one of these cameras.
Get yourself an apartment.
And then I was literally like,
why'd you say he was a comic?
And you're like,
I don't know.
No. I was like, you just'd you say he was a comic? And you're like, I don't know.
You just said he's a different guy.
No.
I said this is Jordan, the producer.
Anyway, look, Basement Carl's gone.
He gets medical tested every once in a while. And he's getting tested for Mars fan disease.
What is it?
Mars virus?
No, this new virus in Africa that's like a...
I feel like you should be telling your guests something like this.
In an offshoot of Ebola.
Instead of taking my fucking shoes off and getting these weird fucking
Asian shingles.
Tell me I'm around the fucking disease.
I have a rule in my house. You have to lick the tile.
Jesus Christ.
Marsburg.
That's the name of the virus.
Marsburg? Yes. So he gets vaccines's the name of the virus. Marsburg?
Yes.
So he gets vaccines.
They test it on him.
And now he's going to save like three lives in Africa, which is good for, you know, imaging.
Oh, so he's not getting tested for having the disease.
No, no.
He's an experiment.
This is why you can't do podcasts before 3 p.m.
Also, you're so bad at explaining things
Jesus
We literally were waiting outside
You locked yourself out of the apartment
And we were like
Is someone in there
I live with a comic Carl
Which was less time than waiting for the call
No you didn't
Check your text
We waited at least 10 minutes
For you to open your front door Now you start to live in reality how long did you wait at least
maybe 90 seconds yeah yeah yeah no no no no yes yes that is not true now tommy's not used to being
up before noon yeah tommy's on vampire time fucking okay now here's this sucks what it's
just talking to people before fucking 3pm
I thought you meant us hanging out
Oh no this rules
It really does
I like this place
Try the fucking horn again we'll start over
So here's the thing
Here's why I locked myself out
Here's what
Chris please
What's the banging outside, too?
Oh, can you hear that?
Yeah. Yeah, the guy's taking a pickaxe
to concrete. Can we
hear it?
It's like a group of high schoolers trying to do their
first show. It's a hundred degrees
outside. You have the window open? Well, he's going to smoke
his dick off. Oh. Alright, now here's
the thing. Here's why I was
fucking, I locked myself out.
I'm a little jumbled.
Chris.
There's something wrong with my shafar.
Is this how every episode goes?
There's something wrong with my shafar.
Hey, Chris, hold on. Let me call my mustache.
You better, dude.
Shut the fuck up.
You never played the fucking trumpet?
No, I had a trumpet player in my ska band.
I played the guitar.
You were in a ska band?
The skinflip.
Now, here's the thing.
Fucking A, baby.
The reason why I'm a little out of sorts is because there's someone coming over.
It's a big day.
It's a big day. You're dropping your elf bar.
What's it called? Is that the one you stole
from me or is that the one I got?
You fucking drunk?
You stole one and then I got you one.
Am I short?
You fucking drunk?
Can you see them?
Really?
Yeah, I can see my
camera. Five inches are way too short to sit down with well you know what
it's 90 fucking degrees you gotta it is apologize we may bring a fan down here no it's nice nice

Oh, dude.
He loves Jewish things.
He will flip
over the shofar.
Wait, is he Jewish?
No, but he
in prison he converted
I think.
We'll hear this story.
What?
This motherfucker
on the phone today
while he's waiting
Never heard someone
converting to Judaism
for prison safety.
No, they were the most dominant gang. They were the most dominant gang. It's probably the most dominant gang.
They were the most dominant gang.
It's probably to get more snacks, not get safety.
I was talking to him.
He's on the Uber on the way here, and he goes, all right, bro, bro.
So on the podcast, is there pussy and cussing?
And I go, yeah, man, you can say pussy and you can cuss.
And he goes, great.
I'm going to bring my teeth.
Wait, you don't think he thought that there'd be chicks here, did he?
That's probably what he meant.
Well, Tommy, you better tuck it back.
You're the closest he gets, dude.
He'd tuck it back in Tommy.
Yeah, no, you can say pussy as much as you want.
That's why he got a hotel room.
It's just us three sitting in a basement smoking cigarettes.
He takes a showing up to a suck off.
I'm wearing your jersey.
He's going to shove that horn up his ass and jerk off in front of us.
Fuck, he texted me.
Okay.
All right.
He's on the way.
Let's see where the Uber is.
Oh, my God.
Yo, do you realize that this motherfucker, I used to carry his baseball card in my wallet.
Why?
Because he was my childhood hero, man.
Yeah.
He was the guy in Philadelphia.
Grit.

But on top of it it the way Nails played

I think he can.
And we might have to go in
and do some editing. Yeah, that's alright.
Let him spew.
But whatever.
Dude, his book, House of Nails, it's insane.
Honestly, if I foreclosed on Lenny Dykstra and he only took a shit in the living room,
I'd be like, that's not bad.
You want a bite?

I'll save it for nails.
Well, I'll tell you this.

He, like,
so when he retired, he bought a bunch of car washes.
And then he became like a financial
whiz. And that guy, Jim Kramer.
Nothing says financial whiz
like car wash.
Empire.
Everybody's got to wash their cars.
Funeral homes. It's a guarantee.
It's never going away, Tom.
They all went bankrupt immediately, right?
Yeah.
In California, there's a fucking drought.
People are going to be washing their cars.
Oh, that's where they were in Cali?
Yes.
They should have put them in Jersey.
Yeah.

He was like, this is the next financial

a magazine called The Players Club.

He's like, this is going to be the next thing.
This guy, Albert Einstein,
Martin Luther King Jr., Lenny Dykstra.

He's chewing on the doorknob outside.
He doesn't know how to get in.
Lenny's chewing on it.
Did somebody let him in,
please?
He comes in,
he starts dragging his ass around the apartment like a dog.
There's just a dude pushing his cage.
That's how he goes through every door, just running and sliding.
Can you slice through a cat door?
That's why his back's all fucked up when you move on the way home.
Every time I see a cat door, I just say, slide, slide.
I slide.
Covered in kitty litter.
He thinks it's dirt.
Sliding your cat boxes, dude.
Fucking head first into a kitty litter box.
Oh, dude, how great would it be if I had my cat down here?
It's going to be great when he watches this back.
The front end is just 30 minutes of shit.
It wasn't pussy.
We love him.
I'm going to give him my cat and be like, here's your pussy.
And then he's going to knock me the fuck out.
Dude, if he's allergic to cats and can't do it, I would cry.
We're so close to the finish line.
That dude is not allergic to anything.
There's no peanut allergy in that fucking body.
I know that.
Hey, I bet he's allergic to alcohol because every time he drinks it, he breaks out in handcuffs.
How you doing?
How are you doing?
By the grace of God, I'm 70 years sober.
Hit the horn after a joke like that.
Wouldn't it be great? Here's a prank. Let's
tell him it's an intervention.
He wouldn't give a
fuck. No? No?
He'd be Googling bars by the time you got done your first sentence.
Oh, dude.

No, no, no, no, no.
I don't think so.
Having custody of your kids? Yeah.
Camel crush?
Camel crush comes with a Camaro with three wheels.
There's not a fucking happy lifestyle.
Nobody has to do shit together and says,

You guys need help?
Oh my god
It's amazing to me
How life works out
First of all
You were in this apartment
years ago. Yeah, it had to be like six years ago.
No, bro. Really? This is 2012.
Wow. Yes.
That's 10. That's 10 years.
10 years ago, who'd you give a haircut to
in my backyard? None. None.
Yeah. That's right. John Nunn.
We came back at like 3 a.m.
Ripped.
And I'm like, I got a back door.
Let's hang out.
We go back out there.
I got a back door.
I got a back door.
You want to know?
I can look at the back door.
We all just fall out a window.
Good enough for me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got to see this door.
So we are out back.
Fucking Tommy's cutting nun's hair.
We're laughing.
I had two guys living down here at the time.
You heard that pickaxe.
Imagine 4 a.m. drywall coked up
fucking Tommy and John
Nunn. Tom Cassidy was there
too fucking getting a haircut.
The buzzers going ripping on each
other and I'm just here.
Ian, Ian, get out of the backyard!
They're like, it's disrespectful.
I'm like, I live here too and they're like, it's disrespectful. I'm like, I live here too.
And they're like, not for long.
And I'm like, never again.
Didn't your roommates hate you too?
There was like two old roommates that you had?
Well, they hated me because I was a fucking drunk.
And I was coming back here a fucking mess, knocking shit over.
I like to think that I got you and Nunn sober.
Because we used to go at it.
Nunn was the same way.
We used to go to that shithole
bar in lower east side oh yeah remember it had like dollar pitchers dude me david adjicum and
none drove for some reason god blessed me whenever i was with none because it was always drunk
driving time just zooming around the fucking god bless village dude during the blackout of
hurricane sandy me and none got. We're on Edibles
listening to the new Kendrick Lamar
album, driving in the
dark. Pitch darkness
in the Lower East Side, coming off
Williamsburg into Manhattan because every power
line was out from 14th Street
down. And we're just fucking
zooted driving around. It was
like a zombie wasteland. There was nobody
out. It was
fucking wild. And then we go on a road gig like a week later and none, I pick him up from his
fucking bike shop and he has two fucking six packs. And he's like, let's go. And I'm like,
all right, let's crack them. And so I, he drank, I had one or two. And then on the way home,
I was like, oh my God, let me go to waste. So I was just fucking ripping them on the way home.
And then this motherfucker calls me and he goes, hey, did you drink that whole, the rest
of those beers on the way home?
I go, yeah.
And he goes, see, I told you, I told you.
And all these people were laughing at me in the background.
It was like Shaner fucking six and everything.
And I'm like, you piece of shit.
You got to shame your friends, man.
Yeah.
You got to shame your friends.
I kept drinking.
How long did you drink?
When did you get sober? Like two or three years ago?
No, seven years ago.
I don't know time. Your concept of time is so off.
You're like, I was sitting outside for 25 minutes.
It was three.
You're at the wrong apartment.
I actually don't even know how long.
We were talking about this. I don't know how long I've been here.
I think like nine years ten years
in this room
ten
easily ten
New York
no no no
you were back and forth
yeah
and you moved here
in
no you moved here
I think in 2013
yeah
yes
and your first night here
we got a big thing of coke
at the Village Lantern
you called some girl
some jerky meat pig
and then
I go
here go take a rip none of this meat pig, and then I go, here, go take a rip.
None of this checks out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I go, here, have some.
Jerky meat pig.
I was fucking dying.
You jerky meat fat pig.
I'm like, what the fuck?
What did she say, though?
There's no reason for me to say that.
She was like, you're funny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I really like you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got a good look
so I give this vial of coke to Tommy to go in the bathroom
I'm thinking he's just going to do a key bump
this motherfucker just used the vial
as his fucking line
and rips it
and there's like a quarter left
and I'm like this guy sucks
but at the same time
let's fucking go
oh what I gotta buy more coke no big deal let's fucking go. Oh, what? I got to buy more Coke?
No big deal.
Let's do it.
What do you know?
We're out.
I do remember that Coke sucking.
Yeah, dude.
It was very bad.
Your connection was very bad.
That's why I had to do half the vials.
You know how I got that connection?
It was from an open mic-er in Philly that wanted to do comedy again in New York.
So I would have to contact him, sit with him.
He'd have to be like,
and I want to do this bit about, and I'd be like,
uh-huh, uh-huh, call your guy. Yeah, uh-huh.
Just like acting like I was into his fucking open mic bit.
That rules. Yeah. He also got me
a job with his cousin's
business so that I could keep
making money to buy Coke.
Yeah. That's a good dealer.
That is more for me than the government
when I was on unemployment.
You still got his number?
That's like a weird version of money laundering.
He was really addicted to morphine.
How do you get your hands on morphine?
He's this guy.
Hospital Connect.
I think his name was like Monty.
Was he white or black?
Why did you just...
Can you blur the hand gesture?
Was he...
It's an Italian thing.
Was he...
Or...
He was white.
Where's Lenny going to sit again?
Is he going to sit here?
I don't know.
Where do you think Lenny should sit?
I think he should sit.
We can't all stand up and go, where do you want to sit, Lenny?
He's going to be like, I don't fucking care.
You think he should sit under the Phillies thing?
Just bring that mattress in here and move the table.
Just have him lay down.
Lenny, why don't you lay down?
Dude, what if Lenny was laying in my lap and I'm petting his head?
We could all squeeze on this small couch and have him lay on that one.
Oh, dude.
We could do that.
Put his head on that end.
Like, hey, man, you want to lay down?
Yeah, yeah.
Tommy will suck you.
The girl's going to be here in an hour.
Yeah, yeah, Lenny, the girls are coming.
The girls are coming.
Just one more hour of talk, buddy.
One more, one more.
Every 20 minutes, check in with Jordan and be like, where's the pussy?
Hey, the pussy here? Jordan? Jordan, give hour talk. Yeah, yeah. One more. Every 20 minutes, check in with Jordan and be like, where's the pussy? Hey, the pussy here?
Jordan.
Jordan.
Keep your phone on.
Give me a pussy check, Jordan.
Jordan's desperately finding stray cats in the neighborhood.
As a pun bit.
That would be sick.
Where do we put him?
You said you want to be in the middle, so maybe I'll just shift down.
I was thinking you shift down and him sit right there.
What do you think of that?
Yeah, I think that's right.
That sounds nice.
Yeah. How close is he?
Let's check.
He's a little
nervy, isn't he? Yeah, I'm going to crack a beer
I think. Do it.
Are there enough beers in there?
Jordy, you might have to go and do a beer run.
What kind of beer is it?
Okay.
Why is the Uber

all right just make it a whole fucking gimmick, you know, like the rest of it.
Like every time you get a nice joke, just blow the fucking horn.
Yeah.
How pathetic were ancient people, you know?
What do you mean?
This is how they made a horn.
They cut a fucking, an actual horn.
Yeah, just some weirdo in the tribe just sucking on it.
What are they supposed to do?
Fucking use metal orgy and brass?
Yes, smelt something, dude.
Have a fucking idea.
They walked through the desert for 40 years.
They didn't have any sort of concept
that there would be brass instruments.
They literally, when they killed something to eat,
they took every part of the animal.
You chop the horn off and you blow into it
pathetic why is that pathetic because they could have had i they could have had cooler shit faster
but instead they were like no this horn's good enough it's like no it isn't you can't survive
and then make some fucking metal wi-fi you guys are arguing like a couple jews right now
it's the horn man the reason ghost's like Ghostbusters mood slide.
The reason why things aren't even...
The reason why things aren't even better right now
is because they fucking thought this was good enough.
Lack of smelt.
Yeah.
The anticipation's killing me.
I'd like to smelt this PBR In a beer that tastes good

I'm adopted
No shit
My last name's Leswick
So if you look up Tony Leswick
He won three Stanley Cups Holy shit No shit Yeah My last name is Leswick. So if you look up Tony Leswick, he won three Stanley Cups.
Holy shit. No shit.
Yeah, so I'm adopted.
It's kind of
an interesting story.
I mean, I have the body of a hockey player, too.
Yeah, me too.
You guys do have similar muscles.
I'm supposed to go to the big leagues and play baseball.
I'm like a...
I mean, these guys are fucking big and strong.
Yeah, what was that like being like a little hockey guy in that league
with so many fucking huge dudes?
Well, I played hockey.
I mean, I grew up in California.
They had no ice.
So my way out of the middle was baseball.
And I had great parents, unfortunately.
I did.
I mean, so the dad that raised me and adopted me was my coach and everything.
And it's kind of funny, when I got to the big leagues, started making money,
the blood dad called and said, hey, this is your dad.
I said, it doesn't sound like my dad.
I said, I got a fucking dad.
Ain't you a motherfucker?
You hungover?
Yeah.
So, yeah.
So, anyway, so, yeah, I grew up, like, with my family,
watching them work their asses off, man.
Like, phone company.
I had to split a hammer with Bob's big boy, you know, with my brothers.
And so, my way out of the middle was baseball. So, I mean, I had one's big boy, you know, with my brothers. And so my way out of the middle was baseball.
So, I mean, I had one friend growing up, you know.
When did you start baseball?
Well, I was, you know, since, you know, in Italy at eight,
our sponsor was Dottie's Beauty Salon.
That's your jersey?
Hot Dottie's?
Hell yeah.
I was Kerr's Village Pharmacy.
I was Rossi's Arca.
Fire shop. Everyone made fun of us, so we went 20 and 0, you know? Hell yeah. I was Curse Village Pharmacy. I was Rossi's archive. Fire shop.
Yeah, everyone made fun of us, so we went 20-0, you know?
That rules.
Yeah.
So you were eight, you said?
Yeah, they literally started later than that.
They didn't have to keep on all the other bullshit.
Yeah.
But you did play as a kid.
Oh, yeah.
I played baseball and football.
Did you excel to the level of thinking you were going to go pro in high school and college
as well?
Yeah.
Well, see, in high school, in ninth grade, I went to the varsity.
I knew that baseball was my way out.
But I was a good football player.
I signed the full-ride letter in 10th to go to Arizona State
to play football and baseball.
Holy shit.
If I went there, the outfield would have been me, Bonds, and...
This is the shit you hear about in, like, the fucking 1920s.
Dude.
From some, like, dude who plays, like, you know,
the professional everything.
Me, Bonds, some other fucking guy. Yeah, it would have been McDowell. Yeah, it would have been him. Bonds is a plays the professional everything. Me, Bond, some other fucking guy.
Yeah, it would have been a doubt.
Bond is a fucking dick, though.
Yes.
Let's fuck him.
What a piece of shit.
I'll tell you about Bond, though.
Let's just say, look, the best player in the history of baseball to ever put on a uniform.
Really?
The biggest dick in the history of baseball to ever put on a uniform.
Why?
It's usually the end of the day.
Look, let me say some numbers
on this guy.
I mean, look,
at the end of the day,
it's not about, like,
friends and, like,
I mean, it's about winning
and, like,
Curt Schilling, for instance,
who's the best big game pitcher
I ever played with.
Also a dick.
Yeah, well, right,
kind of to some people,
but I like those kind of dicks, man.
You know why?
Because they win. Well, when he was pitching...
What kind of dicks do you like, Tom?
Yeah, that's a good point.
That's a bad comment.
But I did see my first
anterior dick cock in the fucking
spring training.
How big is Bonds' dick? I don't know.
It's a fucking kind of fucking dick.
Strawberry, I've heard.
Yes.
They used to say Bo Jackson had to lay his dick on the toilet seat He's fucking got a fucking... Strawberry, I've heard of it. They take it to the lake, dude. Yeah. They take his soap off.
They used to say Bo Jackson used to have to lay his dick on the toilet seat because he's going to water.
I mean, that strawberry, he's my boy, you know.
And I said, dude, can you get that in?
Like, can it go all the way to the base?
Yeah.
You know, like a normal dude.
Like, you get to the base so you know where you're at.
Yeah, yeah.
You know where you're at.
He said, no, dude.
He said, because there are body parts
and shit.
Oh, my God.
But, so,
in the spring training,
my first spring training,
I was 18 years old, you know,
and first shower,
I saw all these fucking,
all these Americans
with an aneurysms.
Yeah.
I said,
I said,
what happened to your dick, bro?
It's all swollen.
No, an aneurysm, you know. What's that? Oh's all swollen. No, and your dick, you know?
What's that?
Oh, anteater.
Yeah, they're uncirc.
Yeah.
Uncircumcised.
Yeah, cave crusader.
Yeah.
I said, what happened to your dick?
He said, no say, no say.
Ask him what happened to his dick.
Coolo by soda.
Stretch is an organization, you know? And, you know, like, they bring everyone to his dick. Cool little bar soda.
Stretch is an organization, you know?
And, you know, they bring everyone to spring training.
So I was in the front lines fucking.
We do a stretch.
I look back.
See a fucking sea of blue hats.
It must have been like thousands of them, dude.
And, like, I said to myself, fuck it.
It doesn't matter.
I mean, I knew I was going to the big leagues, like, when I got there, you know?
What are blue hats?
Mets.
Dude, this is the coolest fucking shit ever.
It stresses organizations.
The whole organization, rookie ball,
A ball, double A, and spring train.
It all stresses the whole organization. There's this fucking doubt.
At the beginning, they bring a bunch and they start
cutting them.
That's what I heard, right? It was an open tryout and he showed up and some guy was like were you a bad boy or
something he's like no i'm letting motherfucking dykes i'm the best motherfucker here yeah
i was in high school you know and the reason I didn't get drafted high because, I mean, I was before I got on the fucking shit, you know what I mean?
And we'll get to that later because that's fucking, I mean,
I'm always ahead of the curve.
And you have to be if you want to get results.
So every year the Mets would have this tryout for the best players
in Southern California because Southern California breeds all these people.
Yeah, Southern Cal is like the best.
So all these sides are showing up, and you go get your tag,
and the person who gives your name tag says,
who are you, the bad boy?
I said, you don't know who I am?
I'm Lenny fucking Dykes.
That's who I am.
Best fucking player here, motherfucker.
That's who I am.
And Joe McIlvain, who became a nudist, by the way.
A nudist?ist but he's
all you remember he was right there and he heard that and no no brag I'm this is
facts I'm sorry I ran everyone out through everybody and that's like him
you know so I got drafts in the 12th round but that was here strawberry and
being you know when early yeah and you know being when I became pretty good drafted in the 12th round, but that was the year Strawberry and Bean went...
Early.
And Bean and I became pretty good friends.
In fact, that book Moneyball he wrote
kind of wrote after me.
We were roommates
together. Great roommate, man.
Six was four.
Just stand by him and take the leftovers.
You know?
Because I sell dreams, bro.
I sell dreams.
I just didn't know.
But being
he shouldn't take failure, man.
See, remember, baseball
is a game of how you manage
your failure.
If you just fail 70% of the
time, you're going to get fucking $20 million.
They have the money they're getting these days.
I mean, all the power to them, but it's fucking crazy.
I mean, do you know how much money that is?
Okay, so when I played, I said put in perspective.
That's a good word, perspective, right?
I'm going to put that in my seat right now so I can enunciate.
But anyway, closer, closer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll pop it back. Lean back and I'll pop it back lean back
and I'll pop it
yeah right there
it's perfect
yeah that's what she said
hey
hey don't
give her a little hit
we gotta get all the way
down to the base dude
so
yeah
so
so what we were talking about
oh Bean
yeah
so Bean
how much money is this
yeah well
Billy Bean though
was six foot four
he had a full ride uh um um stanford the quarterback in football and but and could fly and but the bottom line is is he couldn't accept like there he is he gets so pissed man
and like he's striking me in the outfield playing catch he thought some fucking restore like a boy I'm out I was gonna go right by me I said it I
didn't strike out I mean so yeah and so he couldn't accept see it's how you
manage your failure in baseball because instead of like when an 0 for 600 and 0
for 12 yeah that's the key because and you have to have a game plan every night,
which I don't see a lot of guys having these days.
But the Mets are playing great.
Yeah, the Mets are fucking sick.
And the Yankees are just killing it.
It's crazy.
But, I mean, I can say some crazy shit, but people won't believe me.
Is that over?
I got some more baseball questions before we get going.
No, no, just roll with the
crazy. Yeah, you want one?
I don't have any cigarettes. I got you
Camel Crush. Oh, wow.
I don't smoke too much anymore.
I'm out of it, bro.
I'm getting old.
Does it fire you up to seeing the contracts these kids are making
these days, comparative to yours?
Well, that's a good point you just brought up.
So to put it in perspective, I want to say that word again, perspective.
So when I was, at one point,
I was the second highest paid player in the league at $6 million.
So my paycheck, remember, at $6 million, was $250,000 every two weeks.
Jesus Christ.
So now, let's just say the average player makes $15 million now.
Yeah.
An average player.
$15 million.
Yeah.
So times three, that's like $700,000 every two weeks.
What do you even do with all that money when you have it?
Are you making it faster than you could spend it?
Up my nose, baby.
The purest drywall you can get.
Listen, I thought pussy was the most powerful thing in the world,
so I bought my own fucking plane.
I bought a fucking Gulfstream, dude.
Yeah.
I burned fucking 50 million, so fucking bastard.
Oh, shit.
And you know what?
If I had to do it, I'd do it again.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
It was so fucking awesome
I mean like
You're hanging out with your buddies
You know like
You guys want to go to lunch
Or something you know
Like
Where do you want to go

I'm just saying.
Because he wants fucking eggs done in a certain way.
One time I went to Kansas.

Hey, yeah, one time I took a bus to Parsippany because I wanted to.
You fucking loser.
Dude, that's what I'm saying, but I'm
poor. That's all I'm saying. If you had
15 million, I would be so worried
about waking up in London and being
like, oh shit, I was supposed to be
supposed to go home today.
I was on this mission, man.
The fuck Princess Stephanie, you know,
from the kind of wild one
in Monaco. Her name is Princess.
Oh, yes.
Not because she was so good looking.
It's not like a notch on the belly.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Fuck a princess.
So that was your goal, and you weren't taking failure for nothing.
No, no.
So I always had to take two guys with me because they couldn't hang.
One would have to rest.
They'd take shifts, you know.
They couldn't keep up.
Because you were fucking ripping and running so much. Fuck, man. I could keep up with you. Yeah, I, you know. They couldn't keep up. Because you were fucking ripping and running so much.
Fuck, man.
I could keep up with you.
Yeah, I bet you could.
So we went to this bar show.
And win a World Series.
I said to my boy, I said, hey, go get the 411 and see if he's here.
And so he comes back.
He says, bad news.
He's not here.
So I turn around and look at the bar.
I see these two fucking blondes right out of a tourist
magazine from Sweden.
I said, dude, get the 411 on that.
My boy goes
and comes back and says, bad news.
They're with their fiancés.
I said, look at me. Look at me.
Look me in the fuck.
Look me in the fuck.
I said, look me in the fucking eyes. Remember, this is when
I'm 29, A Greek statue.
Height of your powers.
With millions of dollars.
I had a poster of you shirtless in my room.
Yeah, that was off the road.
So I said to my boy, listen to me.
Those fucking, I'll have their fucking suitcase on the sidewalk tonight.
Do you hear me?
Tonight on the sidewalk.
So I went in there with my fucking wrap.
Everything I love. hear me on tonight on the sidewalk so i went in there with my fucking rap was on everything i love it's fucking there next thing you know the next morning at 10 o'clock i got a charter yacht dude
from here to fucking city you know i mean and we're on the i don't even like boats but we
we're taking it to from from monte carlo to portofino and down the French Riviera. And what's the front of the bow?
What do you call it?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Chris has been on a catamaran.
So we're on the bow.
One time I took a pontoon.
So we're sitting up in the bow having a corona.
I turn, I look back,
and there they are,
sunbathing naked, dude.
I said to my boy. What, on your yacht? Yeah. In Portofino? Well, I don't wanthing naked dude I said to my boy
in Portofino
I said to my boy I said dude
take a look at that and bottle it
bottle it cause this is as close to heaven
as we're ever gonna fucking get
I know
those were the good times man good times
did you fuck him on the bow?
not in the boat but at the hotel
that's when I used to get hard easy.
I will, you know?
I mean, now I'm at the point.
You're not going to do a ring, dude.
No, I'm actually worse than that.
Now I'm at the point where as soon as I hear these words,
like, I can't believe I'm doing this, I'm good.
Yeah.
I mean, so many fucking deposits here.
You have no idea.
It is true.
What if you, okay, so you're on the road,
or you're in
Philly
and you're tagging
and
you're bringing down
some
local fucking
chick from Delco
you got a gift basket
to give them to go
what are you putting
in that gift basket
Jeter used to give
gift baskets
when he would
bring a girl back
Jeter in the weeds man
he got away with that shit
for a long time
yeah
if that was modded
he would have been kicked
all the power to him, though.
But no, so here's how I roll, man.
Like I said, a lot of people used to tell me,
there's a lot of people who got more money than you,
but they don't know how to party like you.
So I'd always have my two boys go to the river plants.
They were playing in Atlanta.
I never stayed at a team hotel once.
Really?
Not once.
There was no rules
about that? There was rules. You, Dalton, and
Kroc were never in the same
place.
It's like how Kim Jong-un has like body
doubles. You just got a guy
in the bed for you.
You got a soap.
It's kind of like in this game called life, man.
There's rules and you get results.
The rules seem to like... It's funny. There were times game called life, man. There's rules, and you get results, so the rules seem to, like, it's funny.
You know, like, there was times I'd be coming in and fucking, like,
on a day game in Fregosi, and remember this one?
Remember this one on the Phillies with the Mets?
I was a kid.
I never even knew what a fucking drug was.
I had a beer.
I mean, I didn't know a strawberry was fucking good,
and we're railing up like that.
And by the way, just so you know.
I heard you guys were doing it on the plane.
Two horse sticks are hitting the wall in the kitchen.
Dude, our 93 Phillies team, we made the fucking 86 men seem like fucking school children.
God damn right.
We fucking partied them.
Look, no one even had to get up.
How do you play 162 games getting that fucked up every night?
So you had to have a system.
What was the system?
I told my boy Robert De Niro, Bobby D.
I was in St. Bart's.
St. Bart's and Hellcopter and Pussy and right and left.
The fucking two best fucking,
there's two presidential suites side by side.
And De Niro's fucking next to me, dude.
And I see this boy And I see this boy.
I see this black chick walk by.
And he likes African-American women.
And bottom line is he couldn't take it anymore, man.
I'm a helicopter and bitches and right now.
And so I'm coming back one day with a pina colada.
And he called me over and he says, hey, what's that? I said, oh, day with a pina colada. And he called me over and he says, hey, what's that?
I said, oh, this is a pina colada.
He says, you guys are having some fun there.
I swear to God, he didn't know who I was.
He's not a sports fan.
He did not know who I fucking was.
And I said, yeah, this is Jack.
He says, yeah, you guys are having some fun.
I said, do you know Keith Richards?
He says, what?
I said, listen, Keith Richards is a code name for fucking blow.
I mean, he looks like a lying coke.
So I said, I got some of Richards' greatest hits if you want some.
He said, is it any good?
Next thing I know, dude,
he had the full propane.
Boom. Fucking boom.
Okay, now,
I got him. So now he's sending
$800 bottles of wine over to
this restaurant.
But so I told him, I said, look,
if you're going to hang with Richards,
you got to, you got to,
it's been years to figure out the system.
Richards, greatest hits, they're better at night.
You've got to wait until it gets dark.
I said, so I'm going to give you the fucking, I'm going to give you the fucking.
The symphony for the devil.
The solution.
The trifecta that took me years to figure out.
You take fucking two fucking decks right in the morning.
You see decks right in front of. You see Dex's right inside
of me. Those are our fire parts.
We took them and played. I said, in that way,
it's a smooth fucking
daytime elevation.
You level off. You work
your way down. Now, if you get
a little up, tweak it a little
bit, like hot and cold water.
You've got to keep Xanax with it.
Pinch the Xanax off.
Then when it gets dark,
now you can bring out Richard's greatest hits.
And there you
go. That trifecta,
you'll remember that the rest of your fucking
life.
So funny, man.
Fucking incredible.
This is in my book, by the way.
I must have 30 fucking lawyers calling me
to fact check it.
This is in my book, by the way.
I must have had 30 fucking lawyers call me to fact check it.
Robert De Niro listened to your headboard hit the wall for over 10 days.
The first interaction is, I fucking hate Keith Richards.
I swear to God. You guys hold the pina colada.
You know Keith Richards?
He's not a baseball fan.
He didn't know.
And so now, it's finally time for me to leave after like a $300,000 bill.
I'm in my fucking copy. I'm already going, here comes De Niro running fucking out.
He says, hey, some extra Richards and a trifecta?
I said, bro, I got you, bro.
So three months later, I'm in Tribeca having dinner with my buddies.
There's De Niro hanging out with, it looks like it's a business people's family.
I'm going to say hi to my boy, Bobby D.
Walked over there.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Just holding up.
He's like,
the band broke up.
Change number three.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He looked at me,
he looked at me like
I was a fucking,
I was a redheaded
fucking stepchild.
Like,
like I said,
hey,
and I said, I get it. Okay, bye. I walked away. My friend said, what a fucking dick. I said, hey. I get it.
Okay, bye. I walked away. My friend
said, what a fucking dick. I said,
what are you going to say? Hey, this is
a guy, I don't even know his
name, that got me all the blow and all
the shit at St. Bart's.
Here, why don't you introduce me to my family?
This is Mr. Coppola.
Bob, it's me, Lenny
From St. Bart's
We hung out with Chief Richards
Lenny, the cocaine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No, Richards
Richards
They call me Dexogen
They call me Dexogen
Dry and Dykstra
Richards
His albums aren't as good anymore
You know
Oh, yeah
Not good, you know what I mean
Let me put this cigarette out
Yeah, bro
Anyways Yeah, not good. You know what I mean? Let me put this cigarette out. Yeah, bro.
Anyways, so, yeah, I mean, the story is, you know, I wrote a fucking book.
Yeah, House of Nails.
Fucking hardest thing I ever fucking did in my life, dude.
I mean.
How do you write a book?
Dude. I can't even read it.
So fucking hard.
I can't even read one.
I mean, I'm cheating.
That's what I'm saying.
I mean, it has.
book. I can't even read it.
I can't even read one.
I mean, it does.
I've been asked to write a book by a lot of
people, but I wasn't ready to put it all
out there. If I'm going to do it,
I'm going to do it fucking right.
So you have to call these people and say, hey,
do you mind if I tell this story? Call up George
R.R. Martin.
I don't give a fuck.
I mean, look.
Did you get any, like, lawsuits and shit?
No, for telling the truth.
Fuck.
I mean, the bottom line is, I didn't bury anybody,
but I buried fucking Greg Jeffries,
and I buried Davy Johnson.
But, um.
And Ron Darling?
No, I didn't bury Darling then,
but Darling, like, that's going to heat up real quick.
Yeah, that piece of shit.
Well, I mean, this Davy Johnson, he cost us, I mean, in the Mets.
He was the manager for the Mets.
Yeah, he was.
I want to know the story.
Like, they say he was a great player as a manager.
Well, fuck, yeah, he's great because he's passed out in his fucking office the whole fucking time.
You never talk to him, you know?
He was drunk?
Well, him and Jack were best friends, you know, Daniels.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Him and Jack.
Yeah, so he was a drunk.
Yeah.
Did he know Keith Richards?
No, no, he's old school.
That's his problem.
Old school.
Yeah, this is soft.
We'd be on a team bus after we land on the chart.
He'd come walking down the fucking aisle, man.
You'd see the whole fucking guy carrying his drink.
fucking guys in this.
He's carrying his ring.
But what he did, though, he actually cost us a World Series.
And I say that because in 1988, if you remember,
we were up two games to one.
You guys are Philly fans, though.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
He's a Mets guy.
Yeah.
But let me say, but the Phillies, we have some shit to talk about there, too.
Because we fucking ripped that fucking town up. Oh, dude. What's better, New York 80s or Phillies, we have some shit to talk about there, too. Because we've fucking ripped that fucking town up. What's better, New York
80s or Phillies 90s?
Well, I mean, look, there's two different things.
When I was with the Mets, I was a
young player who had to be there.
But
Keith Hernandez was the guy I looked up
to.
But when I went to the Phillies, I was kind of
like the Keith Hernandez.
Except at the next
like 10 times
higher level
I mean
nobody needs to
if I go to a fucking
pharmacy to get a script filled
I fill them all
yeah
you know
I mean
I mean
listen
nobody wanted to come
to the vet
those fucking fans
and we do 3.6
million fucking people
there man
and dude
that city I don't care
what anyone says, like
in 08, I think they won the World Series, right?
It wasn't like 93, dude.
That was a fuck, dude.
And nobody wanted
to play us. We were fucking...
Oh, dude, in spring training, you were railroading dudes
at home playing. We were drug-fueled,
steroid up, and fucking...
I tell my teammates, like, we're going to their house, fucking taking their money.
My buddy was a Blue Jays fan, and he went to the series in 93.
Yeah.
The guy dumped a beer on him.
He was like, good.
Good.
Fuck Carter.
Piece of shit.
The Phillies are nuts.
I've been on the field.
It's kind of in my life.
So I was on the field. I know what it's like touts I've been on the field Like this has kind of Been my life You know So I was on the field I know what it's like
To win a World Series
On the field
I know what it's like
To lose a World Series
On the field
Yeah
Like when
When
When Dumb Dumb
Fucking Mitch
Hit that fucking
Carter's Barrel
Like
The pitch wasn't that bad
Oh fuck
It was
What are you talking about Tommy He came in It was hard to hit Tommy S't. Come on, T. What are you talking about, Tommy?
He came in.
It was hard to hit.
Tommy, suck a dick.
Yeah, you're right.
What are you talking about, dude?
I think we'll defer to Lenny Dykstra.
What are you saying?
You're out of your element, Tommy.
I'm going to tase you.
Well, the thing is, Mitch, you know, like, the other thing he did, he pissed off my
pussy, too, because, like, so what I was telling him, we were, I never finished that road story.
We were on the road.
I'd have two of my boys always get the presidential suite set up.
Who were these guys?
Childhood friends or?
Like, he's, you know, fucking bozos.
They were my friends until, you know, I paid for everything, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
It's like my boy Bob Seger says, you says. Bob Seger's fucking great, man.
But anyways, that's neither here nor there.
It didn't matter.
But they set it all up.
And so when I was younger, going to bars and trying to pick up,
it's like fucking stupid.
You're yelling.
You can't hear.
And at the end, you try to get a strategy.
So again, I got ahead of the curve.
And so the bar would be there.
And then when Mitch would come in to fucking close the game,
it's fucking delayed.
It's like an hour and a half.
But that's when we were really rolling.
You know what I mean?
And that was like, I mean, there's some things we did
that I'm not proud of, you know?
Like what?
So these boys get in early.
We can edit.
Well, I didn't actually do it.
But this is what I did when I was playing.
This is when I was in high school.
I was kind of mysterious in high school. I told you I had one
friend, and the only reason I had one friend
was because I had somebody to play catch with, you know?
I mean, I didn't have a fucking girlfriend.
I didn't go to a dance.
I mean, I had a couple pipe cleaners, you know?
But my drama teacher...
A couple pipe cleaners.
Yeah, my drama teacher, Mrs. Dahl,
like, I remember, you know, dude. Yeah, my drama teacher, Mrs. Dahl.
I remember, you know,
I was 18 and like... Yes.
And they kind of like
the studs, whatever, you know.
And like, she was hot.
And she was like,
you think they're older,
but she's like only 32
or whatever.
Yeah.
She told me I had to stay
after class one day.
I'm like, okay.
And she fucked me, dude.
Yeah.
Mrs. Dahl fucked me. Jesus. What? When I say fucked me, she's fucked me yeah mrs. all fucked me Jesus fuck me
she's fucking like fine and then I like said the mrs. all the next day that we
gonna see after class again today never again no more after class this I was
like if she wanted a notch on the belt yeah Yeah. Yeah. Wow. I've been traumatized by that ever since. Really? No.
No.
Low-e, Chris.
You just got fined.
Yeah, dude.
Fucking,
that's nuts.
That's a lot.
Dude.
I never got to fuck a teacher.
Yeah.
Well, she fucked me, man.
I mean,
you know.
Well, you were like lying,
lying on the piano.
She was helping you.
It was crazy.
She said drama.
Oh,
it was.
Drama class.
Oh,
drama,
yeah,
drama.
But so,
you know,
so,
being a show,
like I said,
like writing this book,
so like you get a ghostwriter.
Well,
first of all,
when I was ready to write the book,
I got this big-time agent, you know,
and she couldn't get, like, anybody worthy.
So I said, here's the deal.
So I have an appointment with a man,
the biggest swinging dick in publishing, okay?
Okay, that's it.
One appointment, and I'll fly in New York.
So he sets up with a guy named Peter Hubbard,
who has more bestsellers, with HarperCollins,
the biggest in the world.
More bestsellers than any other
publisher.
So before we walk into the meeting,
I grab her and I say,
you know what your job is? Shut the fuck up.
I said, you shut the fuck up,
I'll sell the fucking book, okay? I said, you sit there and just Shut the fuck up. I said, you shut the fuck up, I'll sell the fucking book.
I said, you sit there and just shut the
fuck up.
So we go in there and I sell the book.
It's a pop-up speech.
Yeah.
Give me a gap shot and let me do the
tap dancing. And this guy, Peter Hubbard,
he was really cool.
I mean, like a straight arrow.
I mean, come on like me and him
are like
we actually are friends now
but
so
they gave me this ghost writer
who'd done a bunch of books
and stuff
and like
he couldn't write
in my voice
like you know
like
God himself
probably couldn't write
in my voice
you know
so I call Peter
like six months into it
and I say
hey Peter
there's been some changes, man.
I fired the fucking ghostwriter.
I said, I'm writing the motherfucker myself.
He goes dead quiet on the other end.
I said, but Peter, you fucking stick with me.
You fucking stick with me.
I'll get you a bestseller.
So he sticks with me.
I locked myself up in a fucking guest house
at this mansion my buddy owned in Beverly Hills
for fucking eight months, dude.
Only person out there was my drug dealer.
That's it.
I mean, it was so fucking hard,
because I wrote every word of it.
And it became bestseller.
It was an awesome book.
I'm not going to lie.
No, it was great.
Hell yeah.
So I'd go visit Peter some time in New York when I was going.
And you have to go to the security, get your guest tag,
and check your license, and give you a visitor tag.
So one time I put my visitor tag on my dick.
I just went up to him, and I'm walking.
And there's the receptionist and all that.
And they're looking kind of laughing.
And there's a security dude.
I can tell he's giving me the fucking look.
Wait, on your pants or on your fucking cock?
Right on my dick.
Well, it was thicker.
Over the pants.
Okay.
No, he pulled his pants down.
Dude, I hate his fucking nails, dude.
I don't know.
He put the security tag on his dick.
He put the visor tag here.
I put it on my dick.
Big deal.
You know?
So the security guard starts coming at me, man.
He's kind of like pushing me.
He says, you're fucking out of here.
He doesn't know who I am.
He's like pushing me into the elevator in all the glass.
And the motherfucker's like kind of pushing me.
I fucking spun the motherfucker around.
I fucking pinned him against the wall.
I said, listen, motherfucker, I'll beat your fucking ass
in front of every fucking one of these people here.
He goes, you know, when somebody's like,
he couldn't move, you know, he was panicking.
So he said, I'll put a bull in your fucking head.
I said, whoa.
Whoa, whoa.
And he had to be there with some.
Because all these women, by the way, that wasn't in my book.
All these, because they were publishing houses.
I'll have fucking ugly women working there, you know.
So all these women watching.
So I go down the fucking elevator.
I go down the elevator and I call Peter and I say,
Peter, I'm sorry I'm late, but
it seems like you toughened up your security
around here because your security guard
just told me he's going to put a bullet in my fucking head.
He says, what?
Where are you? I sit down there
and I'm fucking smoking a cigarette.
He comes out, you know out with a straight arrow.
I said, Peter, don't say a fucking word.
Just tell that motherfucker to meet me on that fucking corner over there.
And Peter goes, I'm an editor.
So here we go.
I said, no, Peter, here's the deal.
I said, you tell that fucker, when this book's the bestseller,
me and him are going to take a fucking picture, okay, and we'll give him the best seller me and him are gonna take a fucking picture
okay
and we'll give him
a fucking book
and we can take that
really
hell yeah
no shit
you have the book here
that's great
yeah I got it upstairs
let me see a pic
yeah
yeah yeah
so
but anyways
yeah so
I've kind of
planted the flag
on Mount Kilimanjaro
and slept in the depths
of Death Valley
you know
like there's no
like
like there's nothing, like, like.
There's nothing you haven't done.
Well, I mean, the middle is a place
I don't, like, ever want to be again, you know?
Because, like, I mean, like, I opened up my book
by saying my biggest fear in life
was being average, you know?
And so, I mean, I've been to the cooler.
I've been to the fucking, like, the stories go on and on and on.
Here's the best part.
They're all fucking true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're crazy, man.
Like, the craziest story hasn't even came out yet.
This is about Darnley, man.
What's that?
Like, what the fuck are fake cancer, dude?
He's fake fucking cancer, and they're all in on it.
Who?
I have all of them.
There's a comic that did that too.
They got an HBO special.
Yeah.
And like, I mean, and it's, I'm not.
Dude, what I, what I loved is when Darling came out with that bullshit about you being
like racist or whatever, everyone backed you up.
Like Strawberry Good and they were all like.
I had all my friends.
I ruined, Strawberry was my first roommate.
Good was my second roommate.
And Darwin...
Look, Mr. P, he didn't even write the book.
The fucking...
Look, the reason why Mr. P got that job
is because he sucked enough cock.
He's a political guy.
He's political.
He would never write something like that.
Right.
It wasn't just me burying that book.
Yeah.
He buried fucking Carter, Murphy, some other guys.
So he's... But he's Mr. P. He picked a veteran
ghostwriter and they probably sat around at the conference
tables.
What do you mean about Dykstra? Ah, arrogant prick.
This ghostwriter went
fucking crazy.
Instead of darling, he could have
got out of it and gulped and winged that
show, but he stuck with it
and just made a fool of himself.
And like I said...
He's got no personality, so he's got to bury
someone else to be interesting.
But pick me as an enemy? Why the fuck would you pick me
as an enemy? I'm the last motherfucker
you want as an enemy, dude.
And he knows it. He thinks about me every fucking
night. I'll tweet out there,
hey, Ron Darnley,
how does your wife fuck you at night?
I fucked
better in drama class.
I knew your boy Elvis right
behind you. Yeah, you like that?
Yeah, Elvis.
You knew a few things
about pills.
Yeah.
Elvis. But he died taking a pills, didn't you? Yeah. Wow. Elvis.
Yeah.
But he died taking a shit, didn't he?
Yeah, he died taking a shit.
Strained on the toilet.
Yeah.
He was all oxied up.
He couldn't shit.
Yeah.
I've wondered about dying like fucking, you know.
There's times where you literally think, can I die fucking?
And I read about it.
You can.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
He died doing anything.
Died doing anything.
Right, dude.
He died hitting a double.
This is a fucking great story,
true story.
He died hitting a double.
Yeah, because,
no, listen,
so the end of my career,
you know,
like I'm beat up.
Fregosi was giving me Sunday games, Sunday day games off after a night game.
So especially, so we're in Florida, dude, and talking about no fucking air,
and this was before they had a dome, you know, at the football stadium there.
And, dude, like the humidity and the fucking, like you couldn't breathe there.
So anyway, Saturday night we'd play, go out and I get fucking hammered.
And I walk in the fucking struggle with lumps.
Somehow make it into the clubhouse.
I look at the lineup and I'm leading off.
I'm like, what the fuck?
And I look in the pro's office over there.
I'm looking.
It gives me a grin like fucking, because then we were playing bad and everything.
So I'm saying, fuck, man, what am I going to do?
He was trying to fuck you by having you.
Yeah, he did.
I said, what am I going to do?
There's not enough shit I can take.
There's no fucking way I can play.
And remember Eric Gregg, the umpire?
Yeah.
The big dude just passed on, rest in peace.
But he was ump, you know.
And I said, what am I doing?
I said, I know.
I got him.
I want to get thrown out of the fucking game, you dumb motherfuckers.
And he has a fucking curve again.
First pitch, right down the middle.
Right down the middle.
I turn around to Eric Gregg.
I said, you fat motherfucker.
Have another fucking cheeseburger.
Fuck.
I go, I'm just going off on him.
He says,
Lenny,
I already know it.
Jimmy already told me.
He said, that's for ghosting.
He says, if I'm going to be out here and see you for two and a half hours,
you're going to be out here.
Oh, fuck.
So the problem is,
I break a fucking bat, dude,
and I hit a fucking ball over the third baseman's head.
I couldn't swing.
But I had to run.
I get a double.
Dude, I couldn't fucking breathe, dude.
I mean, I went into vapor lock.
I'm saying, fuck.
Don't die out here.
I wonder if anyone's ever died in a fucking double.
The short's like, I'm so high. Shut the fuck up. I'm like, what if anyone there died in a fucking double? The short guy's like, hey, shut the fuck up.
You know, I said, breathe, motherfucker.
Just fucking just breathe.
Because that had so much shit in me.
Did like 30 Vikings and fucking everything else.
Yeah.
Which can induce a panic attack.
Whoa.
It's also crazy that no one's ever shit themselves on the field.
Football happens.
Yeah.
But I don't think baseball just gets trapped out there.
I've thought about that.
I've thought about that.
But, I mean, there's certain guys that, like, see,
I was a red light player, man.
I mean, my numbers in the postseason,
I got hits when they mattered.
And that's.
Do you have highest home runs in postseason?
Yeah, like I'm third Behind these two guys
One's Babe Ruth
And Lou Gehrig
I'm not bragging
It's called OPS by the way
Would you knock around guys?
But I'll tell you
What I do have
