Today is Wednesday, January 27th and the weight of history in your hands is heavy. Who said that quote? Was it Winston Churchill fighting Nazis or was it Tom Verducci filling out a baseball Hall of Fame ballot and leaving the greatest baseball player of all time, Barry Bonds off of it?
Starting point is 00:03:00 That was JFK's inaugural address. Ask not what the writers can do for you. Ask not what baseball can do for you, big cat. Ask what you can do for baseball and in this case, it's leaving off four of the greatest players of all time. So it is baseball Hall of Fame season when the writers get their shine, when the writers get to tell you how important their job is to decide the fates of the players we love to watch, which just as an aside, I don't know why it's up to the writers.
Starting point is 00:03:30 It should be the players. It should be players voting peers like, Hey, who was the hardest guy to ever get out? How about Barry Bonds? He should go in either way. Tom Verducci, we had a few, few different things that happened. Tom Verducci released a video that I'm saying, I'm going to throw it out there is going to be unintentionally the funniest video of 2021. It started, it was Tom Verducci sitting in his beautiful sunlit office or study in his
Starting point is 00:03:58 house on some, I don't know, probably like suburban Connecticut and I guarantee he just calls that his voting room. He uses voting here to sit, he sits down, he's got like a specially engraved letter opener that he uses to open up the ballot and then he sits down with the one with like a quill pin and he does it every year the same way. And so the video started, we'll put a couple clips in, but it started the weight of history in your hands is heavy. The baseball hall of fame vote is a triumph in minimalism.
Starting point is 00:04:30 The weight of history in your hands is heavy, even when it is but one sheet of paper. The baseball hall of fame ballot is a triumph of minimalism. It's a fucking piece of paper, dude. And then he went, this is the best part about the baseball hall of fame and these stupid fucking reporters that think they're the most important people in the world. He essentially is doing a love letter to a piece of paper and the simplicity of voting via mail. One page, no logos, no pictures received and returned by mail.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And it's like, hey, that's not something we should applaud in today's day and age when you could fucking email your vote in and not have this entire process. He essentially was like, yeah, look, baseball hall of fame sends me this. They don't even stamp it because they're cheap and I got to send it back. And isn't that just so fucking pretty? It's like day baseball games in the world series. It's like, I think he said it's like a hot dog in the bleachers. It's like none of those things, Tom Bernucci.
Starting point is 00:05:32 You are, you sucked your own dick for fucking six minutes with this video. And I still loved it. Well, it's perfect because day games in the world series, this is like back when nobody could watch baseball on television. Like people missed world series games because they were at work. Like daytime world series games, no batting gloves and a hot dog in the bleachers. There is a timeless beauty in the simplicity. It's been this way since voting began in 1936.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Now you can watch it on TV. Everyone can watch it. You tell me which is better to him. It's like, yeah, it was only when a select few could partake in this activity. That's when it was great. The video was, it was like the celebs singing imagine video. It's that video of 2021 where it's that self important. They should just have, they should have baseball writers with like you two and Bruce Springsteen
Starting point is 00:06:23 in the background doing their own version of the imagine video. And it's, it's ridiculous because Barry Bonds is a fucking hall of famer. So he's making a promotional video showing about, you know, like how great this process is while we're leaving off one of the biggest players, one of the biggest parts of baseball history that's ever existed. It's ridiculous. And I'd like to ask the writers, how many of you used substances and tools that weren't around for the, for the old days of baseball, right?
Starting point is 00:06:53 Do you use the internet? Guess what? You had to file it using a typewriter. Sounds like it's easier for you to do. You should be judged against the people that you compete against, not against numbers. Basically they're saying, I'm not going to vote these guys in because I don't think they're better than math. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:09 readily available espresso shots. I can guarantee you they didn't have that in 1942. Diet Coke. Nope. Diet Coke. Right. Exactly. I mean, don't even get me started with, with the Adderall usage of baseball writers.
Starting point is 00:07:23 It ends though. Tom Verducci, he goes this whole video and then at the end he has the line. I mean, the fact that he's narrating his own video too is just so funny. He doesn't even realize that part, but he says that's, so he's talking about the baseball hall of fame and this very important thing, the most important thing in the entire world is filling out your baseball hall of fame vote, which by the way, 14 voters just left it completely blank, which credit to them, that is, that is true activism. That is true standing up against the man, but he ends it with this whole thing about
Starting point is 00:08:01 how the baseball hall of fame is so important and he says, that's when you truly understand the weight of what you hold in your hands. And then he gets up out of his boating room and he walks in his sun drenched boating room and walks off without even mailing the fucking thing in. Yeah, what I love is I like that the guys that did not file the guys or girls that did not put a ballot in the mail and sent back in, they probably just don't care. They probably just didn't check the mail and they're going to see it in there like in a month and be like, oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Yeah, here's my hall of fame vote. Meanwhile, Tom Verducci is creating like a jerk off instruction porn for himself. And I love that he's he essentially made this video because it's something that he would have wanted to watch a baseball writer do when he was growing up. Right. There's really no market for this. There's no market for this actor.
Starting point is 00:08:53 It's it's it's future Tom Verducci congratulating little Tom Verducci on growing up and getting a ballot for the baseball hall of fame. And I have to I have to take my hat off to the baseball writers because they were very smart when they started the hall of fame because if you get in on the ground floor, it's like any awards show out there. If you just declare that this is an award show that you're presenting, guess what? You have the power moving forward for all eternity. And so then people just have to like market themselves to you and kiss your ass over the
Starting point is 00:09:22 course of the years so that you're the one that gets to gatekeep this institution that really has nothing to do with writing about baseball. They think they think writing about baseball is more of a sport than playing baseball. Correct. And Jake, make sure you put this in there. Give us a reminder that we need to make a video sucking our own dicks before the takey awards this year and how important it is. The weight of history is in our hands every time we give out a fake made up award.
Starting point is 00:09:50 The other story I saw PFT Mark Craig who writes for the athletic wrote a column that was titled I wanted to know why I felt so crummy about my twenty twenty one hall of fame ballot. So I asked a neuroscientist. This is real. I cannot believe these people exist. I actually am so happy they exist because they make our job so easy. The fact that no baseball writers have even like one percent of self awareness makes our
Starting point is 00:10:20 jobs easier because we can sit back and watch Tom Varducci write a love letter to himself and and jerk off in his his boating room. And then we can have a good laugh and be like what the fuck is baseball doing leave it up to the fans. The fans think that you just you buried it. What did the neuroscientist say. Did he I didn't I didn't was is there a brain reason why it feels bad. Maybe because you've convinced yourself over the years that you're so important that everybody
Starting point is 00:10:46 should look up to you because you get to check a piece of paper. Did they even get a sticker. I don't even see a sticker that says I voted on it. Do you know what it is. I could tell you I didn't read the article but I guarantee you the neuroscientist was like hey you know why you're you're having so much trouble with this is because you all made so much money writing about Barry Bonds and how baseball was back when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire were hitting home runs and now you're playing holler than thou.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Yeah that probably feels like you're a really shitty person because you are. Yeah exactly. You're slapping the people in the face that made you all your money that got you to this point because if you're at if you're at that point in your career where you're able to make a self documentary about your courageous votes then you're definitely a guy that was on the come up in the 90s that was just cashing the checks and everybody knew that they were using steroids. This is why they should make the asterisk shaped wing of the Hall of Fame.
Starting point is 00:11:36 There should be if you want to say like okay everybody that played in the 90s and early 2000s there is there's a looming doubt over whether or not you were on the juice. Just make a room in the Hall of Fame that's shaped like an asterisk and then put all the stuff in there that you have with these guys. Let them in and then see which room gets more attendance. The one where it's like in the dead ball era I'm going to go see Three Fingers Mordecai's exhibit again or no I'm going to go watch Barry Bonds hit a homerun 700 feet. They should actually instead of making it the asterisk room it should just say a big
Starting point is 00:12:08 sign above it and say these guys fucking ruled and you know it parentheses fuck baseball writers. Yeah. Mike Greenberg's dumb rule is we should give more power to baseball writers. We should actually give them the opportunity to vote people out of the Hall of Fame. We should actually make them. We should pack the court and it should just be only the Supreme Court should just be the baseball writers.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Well I'm just saying like what if we made like five thousand more baseball if you've ever written the word baseball on the Internet boom you're a Hall of Fame voter. I have a question for Jake our darling Jake Jake I know deep down there's been a point in your life where you aspired to be a curmudgeony baseball writer who decided who was making the Hall of Fame. Do you still hold those feelings. I mean yes you're right. My first my first step into the business was as a writer I was a sports editor for the
Starting point is 00:13:01 Cypress Bay circuit or high school newspaper but not really anymore because I've positioned my stance to want to be a broadcaster so I don't really envy the people who are voting I envy the people who are calling the big games. Okay. Okay. Fair but Jake circuit if you were offered to vote in the Hall of Fame you would take it right. It would be an honor yeah it would be an honor it would be an honor I think that what they
Starting point is 00:13:25 should do they should have this be like an in-person ceremony where but it's only like the most unathletic baseball writers so the real heavy sweaty like four hundred pound guys with suspenders and comeovers I want them in a room sitting like a jury and they bring the players up one by one like they're on trial and then just these fat slobs have to explain to like Barry Bonds or to Alex Rodriguez like here's why I'm not voting you into the Hall of Fame and just see that dynamic in the real world at play. Yeah actually you know what it should be is Tom Verducci has to strike Barry Bonds out to keep him out of the Hall of Fame.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Yeah. Or beat him up. Let's just settle it on the field. Yeah. What about this. Yeah. What if you give Tom Verducci a knife right we're big into knives and guns in terms of our new rules this week give Tom Verducci a knife and then put him like on an acre of
Starting point is 00:14:16 land with Barry Bonds and Barry Bonds doesn't get any food or water and see if Tom Verducci can kill Barry Bonds within a week. I like it. The most dangerous game Jake tell me this. I just want to make sure that our future is secure. You know and not naming names but you know at least a couple of people from your life is a big J journalist that watched that Tom Verducci video and they were like that was awesome.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Yes. OK good. Because I just want to make sure on my timeline. Yeah. Yeah. I just want to make sure there are kids still out there that are watching like Mitch Album and Bob Costas and Tom Verducci be super self important and be like that is what I want to be.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Well Bob Costas is super important so self you forgot the word self self donates money to the student radio station I got a lot of opportunities at. Oh wow. So you're he pays you off. No. Yeah. He paid that's what happens. They pay off the future broadcasters so they won't say anything bad about him.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I do. I like the idea that there should be a height not like a height limit in terms of you're too short. There should be a height limit in terms of you're too tall to vote for the Hall of Fame. So I only want like Ken Rosenthal and Bob Costas. You have to be under five six to vote for the Hall of Fame. That was actually a good foreshadow because Jake did get paid off listened to after the micro interview.
Starting point is 00:15:40 We did get the donation to the Barstool Fund for Jake to swear on the podcast so make sure you turn it tune in for that. All right. Other things we've got to talk about Aaron Rodgers of course is staying a packer. That was all for not on Sunday night everyone melting down everyone saying oh my god it sounds like he's saying about it actually proves how ridiculous like Twitter and the internet can be which we'll get to in a second with GameStop but one tweet a couple tweets of people watching that zoom being like sure felt like he's saying goodbye and then it's
Starting point is 00:16:11 an entire story and then he pretty much was like no I'm not going anywhere. I was talking about other free agents on the team. I knew deep down he wasn't going anywhere because I think it's destiny for Aaron Rodgers to torture my soul for another decade. But what I mean what you don't you you don't think he's going anywhere right PFT. I want to believe that he's going I'm going to pretend like he might be going somewhere for this entire offseason and probably for years after that too because it's fun to talk about.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I like the fact that Aaron Rodgers knows that he's stirring up drama. So when he when he did that interview after the game he knew exactly how people were going to react. He was like I'm going to be despondent. I'm going to act like I'm going to treat him like my family essentially we're all one big family here in Green Bay so I'm going to act like I'm very disrespected and like I might be on the outs and I might split after this and then I'll come back and I'll clean it up later.
Starting point is 00:16:59 I'm going to be kind of weak in the in the news cycle where I'll be able to like clarify what I meant. And then you have to think like the Packers would Aaron Rodgers be able to force his way out of town probably. I think if he was big enough dick about it he probably would be able to but I you're right I don't think he's going anywhere but I'm still I'm going to pretend like I don't actually believe that and like you might go somewhere because it's more fun. I think he'll just be there forever and every time that I start to think he's getting old
Starting point is 00:17:26 he'll be like oh here's another MVP. I noticed that he did not he did not say that he was not going to become the full time host of Jeopardy did not deny that. That's true. That's true. We have. Yeah I mean the other anything else from Championship Sunday I saw that video of Josh Allen being a leader and hugging every bill on the sideline.
Starting point is 00:17:45 It made me a little sad and yeah I mean we're we're going to get going for the Super Bowl here soon. Yeah. I mean I think that's about the only big story that came out of it besides the fact that people love to remind us that we were wrong about the Chiefs and credit we were we were the first to say that we were wrong about the Chiefs. We broke that story. There's no need to remind me.
Starting point is 00:18:05 I said it a quarter and a half into the game when I realized how wrong I was about the Chiefs. So we own up to our mistakes. We were very wrong about the Chiefs and I'm going to bet on the Chiefs although I did kind of have a moment or did the problem with the Super Bowl is with the two weeks you just have so many moments where you can second guess yourself and be like oh actually maybe I like this bet instead of this bet but I need someone to just hold me to it I'm going to bet on the Chiefs.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Yeah. What's up Hank? I don't think you should. Why? Hank wants to bet on Tom Brady. I was thinking about making the biggest bet of my life on Tom Brady before we left Detroit and but I was like I'm going to wait two weeks and think it out but I think that's where I'm going to end up.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Okay. All right. I like that though. I like a little bit. If you could talk me into it. Yeah. Hank that'll be a project. You can talk me into it.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Give us three good reasons to bet on the box on Friday's show. All right. Okay. All right. Before we do hot seat cool throne. Game stop. We got to talk about game stop. It is the story that is sweeping the internet right now if you aren't on the internet or
Starting point is 00:19:10 familiar with what's going on here's a very shortened version of it as far as I understand because I asked everyone to explain to me like a six year old and I got some good responses but essentially game stop is like a nothing stock. We all know game stop. It's a brick and mortar place that sells video games. It's basically a dinosaur and this one guy on Reddit basically has been like hey all these hedge funds have shorts on game stop for it to go down. I'm going to start pumping it.
Starting point is 00:19:40 We're all going to pump it and every time it goes up the rich guys have to buy more of it to cover their short which then makes it go up even more and essentially it's a perfect storm where this stock that is essentially an obsolete stock is now gone up from four dollars to two hundred dollars in the span of five days yes and the big guys are losing all the money and the little guys on Reddit and the internet are robbing them blind which if you don't love this story you have no soul. It's awesome. I love it a lot and what's happening is they're finding out that message boards and comment
Starting point is 00:20:18 sections are they're like the new factories and coal mines of the twenty first century. So Wall Street is Wall Street just now figuring out what athletic directors and Lane Kiffin have known for years which is that like you you cannot write any sort of federal regulation that's more powerful than just a group of people who love to post on a message board and they're getting they're getting fucked over by it which is perfect for game stop because game stop is actually the king of oh yeah you're you're a copy of Donkey Kong Country's worth fifty cents now sorry I know you pay to share more the money for it yeah yeah exactly so I love it I love buying stoke like people are buying stocks as a joke and
Starting point is 00:20:57 it's actually fucking over entrenched Wall Street billionaires and distributing all their they're taking money from the very rich and giving it to the poor so basically like the libertarians of Reddit have invented taxes they're doing they're just taxing people and I fucking I you get how can you root against the people on Reddit right now is there a reason no you can't is there a reason why we shouldn't be are your heroes the only no I'm not the only thing the only thing that makes me nervous is a stock I'm cynical one guy I think it's just head stands yeah I'm cynical about all this so I assume that eventually the hedge fund guys will have so much money that they can wait everyone out and fuck everyone over
Starting point is 00:21:35 like I feel like they always win no matter what even if this is it's a win the battle lose the war type of situation I don't know enough about finance but that's my that's what I'm nervous about the little guys winning right now but the big guy always wins but maybe I'm wrong and maybe they'll just take this fucking place down and it will be incredible it's it's like the end of your favorite book though big cat the big short when they're like I read it in the movie I don't know if you've seen the movie they did make a movie about it at the end of the movie they're like and all the people that were involved in this got arrested and they did time and they changed the entire way that like the financial shit
Starting point is 00:22:10 is structured and something like just kidding nothing really happened I feel like one guy yeah yeah like that it's the same type of thing where it's like it should change things but it's just they're going to figure out a way to just pay pay their way out so I saw that there was one dude that has so much exposure to it that it or there's like a pretty big hedge fund that if it gets sit on no no there's a different one where it gets up to like a hundred fifty dollars a share two hundred what's that Billy was that Billy Melvin Melvin if it gets up to like a hundred fifty dollars per share this entire hedge fund is out of business which is it did after hours they're so far exposed to it yeah so what will probably
Starting point is 00:22:47 happen is there's going to be one hedge fund that goes out of business like Bear Stearns or whatever and then they're going to come back rewrite the laws so it's going to be illegal to talk about stocks online and then now now they're fucking you again for the next hundred years but they make you feel like you've won this one but even that Melvin I saw that Steve Cohen and another guy put in a bunch of money into it to try to save it so they essentially now own Melvin and that's all it's going to happen is like the even richer guys are going to come over the top and they're going to win more than anyone but the only thing to be said is that Elon tweeted out the Wall Street bets like he
Starting point is 00:23:26 is the richest guy and he's kind of he's kind of siding with the with the rebels where he is an internet comment right Elon Musk is is the first he's a better to become a billionaire yeah yeah he's got some pull he's got some pull so I I kind of hope that it keeps going up I mean I love this can we do this with another stock I guess if we say it out loud then we can't no no no not Amazon MC MC no stop Billy but Billy's like Billy of course saw this didn't understand what was going on it was like hey let's just buy block buster but is it shorted Billy block is cheaper no but Billy you're you're missing the part where it was someone shorted it right so that when are you telling me that someone has shorted
Starting point is 00:24:09 blockbuster that's worth 40 cents yeah way more who somebody hi that's that's how that's what it's dead it's dead we can still revive it I mean who out there is actually buying stocks of blockbuster not shorting it I'm pretty sure that exactly yeah I don't know I listen Billy is not a financial advisor despite what you might think about him I think that maybe there's a lot of people that have shorted under armor I still have a lot of under armor stock from when I bought I bought a shitload of under armor stock just because they came out with ugly shoes for Steph Curry back in like 2016 so maybe get that rumor going out there like very heavily leveraged on the short side and under armor be real sure like that jumped off I just don't
Starting point is 00:24:54 I yeah when I asked people to explain it to me like I was six someone told me I think we kind of invented this idea well we didn't because it happened before but someone said to me ESPN tweets that Mr. Biscay is bad Bears fans tweet he's good to change the narrative and make ESPN look bad the more people that tweet Trubisky is good the more pressure ESPN faces tweet he's good at the end of the day ESPN is forced to tweet good about Trubisky that's the MVP yeah yeah you're right exactly what we did with the MVP we forced them to give an award to it and we squoze we squoze out Drew Brees and it was like his 42nd birthday or something like that yeah that's exact you're right that's actually a very good comparison for this whatever whatever
Starting point is 00:25:39 happens I we have to get in on one side or the other I can't just sit here on the sidelines of history and not pick a side where I'm putting my money I think I think I have to buy I think they're forcing me to buy GameStop we can't we obviously can't be on 12 right now that's fine we can't be on the side of the fucking hedge fund these guys are the worst I'm gonna buy they're saying the Reddit I mean I was reading a lot uh in the Wall Street Bets Reddit today and like they're all like you know get to a thousand hold till a thousand yeah you know that old there's like some old wall shot saying whether there is this the second that uh like my dentist starts asking me about a stock is the time that I know I'm supposed to sell it or like the cab drivers

Starting point is 00:29:15 dog got into a big online dispute over who was more racist well um these dog beefs are back in a big way so somebody started a twitter account called The Oval Poffice get it and said office is with a paw and uh they tweet out statements from Joe Biden's dogs uh like referring to their humans as their humans and using other like fun little dog slang like that uh seems like it's fun right well guess what they're in a beef right now with rival twitter account at the first dogs and at the first dogs their account is dedicated to the first dogs of america champ and major biden are humans potus and flotus are heckin awesome right so you might wonder hey these two accounts should be on the same side here right uh like a rising tide lifts all boats not the case uh the
Starting point is 00:30:04 oval Poffice had to issue a safety announcement about their rival account actually excuse me a safety paw announcement friends the first dogs pretends to be a white house affiliated paw count or puck out they have a white house dot gov link in their bio and made it look all very serious we notified twitter safety and other relevant white house humans we have never been mean canines before but this is impersonating a paw official institution it's wrong oh my god fooling humans like that is wrong we know from trusted sources that are not in any way shape or form paw associated with the white house uh so there's it's it's real out here on the streets this is going to get ugly uh i i think that i stand on the side of the account um that is pretending to be the official account because
Starting point is 00:30:52 at least they have balls enough to be like saying yeah we're the official account of these fucking dogs and the other is like saying we're just here to have fun pretending to be dogs online it ruins the mysticism of it for me if you're going to try to be the dog be the fucking dog yeah tweet like the dog all the time you have to do that i it's up there with the baseball writers are infatuation with the first dogs yeah uh for stupid shit they're heckin good wolfers and my cool throne is dead zoo animals uh oh that's too soon way too no no way too soon because we've got prints we've been waiting we've been waiting for somebody to fill the gorilla size hole where our hearts used to be impossible ever since 2016 when harambe was uh taken from us way too soon
Starting point is 00:31:36 and i think we have it nope i think we have it hank it's mufasa the lion mufasa the lion he died right r.i.p mufasa he was in the singapore zoo right saving the children no no even even better than that so uh did he know ceso he did yeah they're best friends they were pinpaws and uh they they announced his death yesterday by announcing the birth of mufasa's son simba they said they they turned it into a life announcement being like we have a new cub simba it's named after disney's the lion king and it was conceived with seaman from the father mufasa then they added on that mufasa died during the ejaculation procedure when he was accidentally electrocuted by the prod that they stuck up his ass to make him come so mufasa mufasa died getting his
Starting point is 00:32:30 prostate zapped and his his sperm was it was maintained and they gave birth to his son just the other day if there's any justice in this world this son will just maul all the fucking he'll he'll grow up to just maul all the no he'll no he'll bukkake everyone all the trainers so calm all over yeah he'll he's just gonna nut all over him so simba is it's it's the continuation of mufasa's uh seed and i think that we should all respect mufasa he went out it's the ultimate high like they're definitely gonna be some people that try to chase this high that's gonna be the new uh autoerotic exfist fixiation like instead of being david karatey and hanging from a noose while you crank off it's like just stick just stick this electric fence wrapped
Starting point is 00:33:14 around a baseball bat up your ass while you come and uh and just let it go from there so yeah all right pu mufasa um we're thinking about you buddy uh that is pretty valid that that that's a pretty valid yeah valid replacement i know we should sell t-shirts or maybe trojan jackoff's well i'm just i'm more interested i'm gonna try and keep up on simba you know he's the chosen yeah see how simba does yeah we gotta buy some baseball cards of simba it is funny it's hot in the streets it is funny that mufasa died and got like thrown to his death and then simba is the new lion king that's exactly what's gonna happen simba's either gonna just come all over him all the time or he's gonna kill all the trainers yes absolutely i mean that's that's some angry jizz yeah he was
Starting point is 00:33:56 made out of yeah what if it what if it's like this is like the new x-man that's born he's got like electricity in his body yes yes um all right hank uh your hot seat cool turn on the hot seat is billy's boy hosey kinseko mm so Caleb Caleb pressley our co-worker went out there to do like a Sunday conversation and they sent a camera guy to film because we're trying to get like footage for a video and he tweeted yesterday we've had a camera guy in vegas for five straight days now waiting for hosey kinseko to train because hosey kinseko isn't training so i think i think he's on the hot seat don't listen to that billy that's rat boys and billy he's training so i talked to i talked to Caleb yesterday billy i he's training he's just ducking he doesn't want to be film training
Starting point is 00:34:44 i think he's just a lot that is a lot different no i think he's i think he's just so slow billy that like you're gonna have to beat him with speed because the scouting report that Caleb gave me was he is very very big and he was scared about his size but there's no chance that he has the speed to take you down yeah so i knew i was gonna out muslim if you know if anything so i've just been training speed punch output that sort of stuff you know footwear move yeah like movement so i'm going into the fight i don't want to reveal too much but i got a plan going into the fight i got some serious stuff that first video that i released of me fighting was legitimately for my first week of sparring okay there's everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the face
Starting point is 00:35:31 and i've been punched in the face several times you need to let one of us punch you in the face just to get you that billy yeah let me ask you this billy so rough and rowdy uh billy versus hosey kinseko is coming up next friday it's right before the super bowl we're gonna be in west virginia i've been thinking about this you are my champion so i i'm obviously rooting for you with all my heart if you were to lose because we have to just throw these things out if you were to like get knocked out would you be upset if i laugh because i think my reaction will be to laugh if the thing is i'm not gonna i've been punched in the face by a lot more athletic stronger guys than hosey kinseko at this point of his life and i didn't get knocked out i got knocked down
Starting point is 00:36:12 i didn't get knocked out but if i lose it's gonna be by i'm not gonna get knocked out in the first 30 seconds like you know no no i don't think that's either i don't i don't think that that either i was just trying to play it out in my head because like i'm gonna be announcing the fight so my reaction is going to be very natural whatever i was thinking about it i was thinking about it and i think if you got knocked out i would be very i would be worried for you and feel bad after the fact but in the moment i'd laugh and be like whoops that was a bad idea you're still gonna call that fight yeah of course you're not gonna recuse yourself no i have to i i fuck it i'm gonna call and just call hosea scumbag look right right now i've like been no funny business like totally hyper
Starting point is 00:36:55 focused on this fight and it's sort of clouded me like i had no idea what was going on in the rest because i was also in quarantine so i was just super hyper focused on this and i am gonna kill this guy like legitimately i've like been in isolation punching stuff and working out and just like have you come i am 200 and have you come i'm 210 pounds and five pounds of it is see me are you coming are you caught oh you are you are not coming i'm not coming you're gonna back yourself up i'm real backed up we're what if what if we get like the best references i think it's actually urban myth billy i look some of this up before my fight no it's actually no it's not really we talked we talked to uh teddy atlas he said that the the best prized fighters he's ever been around
Starting point is 00:37:46 they save it up and then they drink it right before they go yeah so what we what we gotta do what i've actually been studying it uh tyson fury he was going seven times a day but you go seven times a day until the last week then you stop because it's so you you act your body you actually make your body no i'm not saying but this is what the the science says you actually make your body to high uh emissions and then you have zero emissions and it builds up all inside of you and then you like get angry at everybody around you and try to punch things yeah because you're dicks wrong that's why he pissed off i mean look what happened to bufasa he came and he instantly died i can't have that happen in you i cannot have nothing is going near my prostate
Starting point is 00:38:34 at all ever so that's out of the question good good i think what we should do is we should we should make a title belt for this and it should be called like josecan seiko is a swollen rat and then even if he wins he has to hold up the josecan seiko is a swollen rat belt yes i like that i like that um wait where are we oh hey you do your cool throne on my cool throne is florida why they no you know what that's good enough great all right my hot seat is uh they they uh they want to host the 2021 olympics this summer if tokyo bows out sure fuck it just give out tell florida they're getting everything uh my hot seat is the nba security did you guys see the the uh
Starting point is 00:39:22 bam kairi jersey swap that went down which is highly illegal in today's nba it was very funny they they essentially had to do it like it was a drug deal and uh the nba security is now on the hot seat because jersey swaps are not allowed but guys are finding a way to jersey swap so we need to figure out how we can stop these players from playing 48 minutes against each other sweating all over each other breathing all over each other and then doing the absolutely ridiculous thing of swapping jerseys which is that's how you spread coronavirus oh wow yeah he put it under his shirt and he's walking off the court yes he's like i don't have anything that's a tough look for the nba and their protocol yeah yes very tough um and then my cool throne is hard body 2021 because
Starting point is 00:40:09 we've delayed it i just want to let everyone know people who are trying to get in shape this year hard body it's going after the super bowl i've been stuck in a casino for six days i've been eating candy i've been living inside of a casino it does not it's not conducive to hard body so i'm delaying it so if you haven't started don't worry you haven't missed anything february what's the super bowl february seventh february seventh is super bowl yeah i'm gonna be in the gym february eighth and you won't you won't see me out of the gym until my body is hard there's there's a gym in the old hq that is going to get extensive use okay not not by me i will not be going to that gym but um hook up because i'd have to walk there yeah i i feel like hard body is there a shower
Starting point is 00:40:54 i'm not about the hard body lifestyle no but we should just stack up a shitload of dude wipes just manually uh i don't be having a hard body i don't think goes with the rest of this you know well it's it's more it's i mean let's be honest it's not gonna be hard it's gonna be just less soft so less soft body 2021 i want to maintain my huggability though and i in order to be huggable you got to be a little bit soft yeah my hot seat is ben askrin he's officially fighting jake paul uh in a boxing match um ben askrin's not a striker he's a nca wrestling champion so if he gets knocked out by jake paul it's going to be really disappointing and jake paul's going to continue to have a fraud boxing career uh yeah but billy if jake paul loses and you win
Starting point is 00:41:44 it's there exactly it's an eclipse mm-hmm but jake paul picks guys who have zero reach by the way i'd 100 beat the shit out of jake paul he wouldn't touch me but jake wait aren't you save that save that for after the whole yeah he's gonna cut you out after yeah cut the promo like even if i i'm the only way i lose to kinseko no no fucked up billy billy you got a what hank is saying is when you beat hosey kinseko if you lose i will laugh whatever but when you beat him i'm not losing when you beat him that's when you say i'm calling out the paul brothers that's when you do it all right they're never they'll never fight me because i actually would beat them they only choose guys they know they can like strategically win with floyd mayweather
Starting point is 00:42:30 absolutely that's the only reason they wouldn't fight you floyd mayweather right plus yeah i know i know i know but like the only reason they're not fighting billy is because billy's too hard if i was no seriously if i was if i was five two zero reach but like jacked and looked athletic i'd probably they know it's still wouldn't fight well they still be like we could totally beat this they still wouldn't fight you no they still would be like you are you're you're the part of my take intern right right i'm not getting too i'm not getting too big for my britches but i totally fuck him i would never i do love how it looks online and billy you even have to admit this that when you see a headline on like tmz being like hosey kinseko to fight
Starting point is 00:43:09 barstool sports intern you're like yikes that's a tough look for hosey kinseko yeah you just you should never be you should always like well you know eventually when you graduate college you have a full-time job whenever you want it but i think part of your contract should be that you have to be referred to as an intern forever yeah just so we can keep like sunning people with this shit where they're like they're fighting barstool intern it's like a hell it's like a it's like an eighth grader's been held back five yeah yeah it's like this is our you red shirt and gray shirted yeah okay uh is that it uh cool throne is that's it that's it no i had another one doesn't sound like you have one all right let's get to my car have you caught one of your chickens yet

Starting point is 00:45:22 guest you know him from dirty jobs you know him from being the voice of discovery many many years you know him from shark week about 15 years ago you know him from qvc you also should be watching his new show it is micro he has a new show out it's called six degrees with micro now streaming on discovery plus so i was uh watching some of the previews and the show as far as i understand is very daunting you basically were like everything is connected in the world i'm going to go back in history and figure out that connection do you think that's kind of an overachiever move like what made you do this because that seems daunting yeah we were swinging through the fences you know from the promotional side of things but in reality i needed something to do during the lockdown
Starting point is 00:46:12 and and i thought you know dirty jobs was a rumination on work somebody's got to do it on hobbies returning the favor on decency i wanted to do something around history really for people who would never watch a history show so i thought well what if we just identified two seemingly disparate points in the context of a really ridiculous question like can a horseshoe find your soulmate or can a mousetrap cure your hangover or how did a volcano redeem Eminem's career right the more preposterous the better and then take an hour to take a deep dive down the youtube rabbit holes and find at least six links that can actually get us from point A to point B the thing about the show that made it fun for me anyway was we throw everything at the screen
Starting point is 00:47:12 right it's animation archival footage puppets we recreate the launch of the Hubble as well as the san francisco earthquake with puppets just because we can actors and reenactors some of whom aren't all that talented wearing costumes that aren't very convincing sometimes in wigs that don't really fit doesn't matter hired my my my old buddy chuck who i went to high school with great actor who portrays 35 or 40 historical figures i love it poorly so we just it's a hot mess of stuff designed to illustrate the incontrovertible fact that all the information in the world is now available to everybody online but never before has it been grouped up in a chronology that is so seemingly insane that's really interesting yeah it's strange because until
Starting point is 00:48:02 you just kind of pitched that that show i hadn't really thought of it but a few years ago i think we were speaking with somebody um maybe at the history channel about doing like a wikipedia wormhole thing for a wikipedia club that was like along the same lines where you just followed the links around the internet and it is fascinating how everything's kind of tied together can you go back real quick can a mousetrap cure hangover that's the one i'm interested in sure i mean spoiler alert the only way to really explain how this thing spools out is to just sort of just tell it to you but you know hyra maxim created the first repeating mousetrap about 250 years ago he also created the light bulb and a thousand other things including the maxim machine
Starting point is 00:48:48 gun and the maxim machine gun changed the course of the uh the first world war it killed so many people so quickly and made so much noise and was so easy to conceal the allies didn't know how to deal with it so they took a tuba a giant war tube about 20 feet long and they pointed it at the ground and it identified the sound waves of this gun as well as from artillery and by using sound ranging they were able to identify where these guns were well they also learned that with sound ranging you could identify where oil deposits were and now suddenly a guy named karcher comes along and winds up using this technology to create texas instruments and the next thing you know we're creating the germanium chip and silicon valley comes along and the whole race for making things
Starting point is 00:49:40 small gets big and at the same time that's happening over at stanford the guys who are working on it are experimenting with lysergic acid which of course is lsd and we take a whole side trip on what happened to lsd and how that fueled the counterculture which ultimately impacted our decision to leave vietnam when we left vietnam a guy named david tran happened to be on one of the boats and david tran went on to create sriracha the hot sauce that makes any bloody mary taste a whole lot better than it otherwise would and so when you have a bloody mary with sriracha sauce in it the odds of you getting rid of your hangover exponentially better but of course it wouldn't have happened if higher maxim hadn't created the first repeating mousetrap wow so you
Starting point is 00:50:25 did it is there a part of you when you pitch this show you're like it almost is uh calling your shot like i'm micro my i'm so successful people like me so much i can pitch this that like i'm just thinking if anyone else pitched this they'd be like all right dude get the hell out of here maybe get a little bit of focus before you come back with your pitch but you're like i'm micro i'm gonna pitch this and they're gonna love it and it's gonna be a great show and you don't even have to make the show you just like yeah they accepted this isn't that crazy you know i'd i'd love to say yeah based on my incredible wit charm and persuasive ability i sold it in the room but i didn't what i mean all that happened but the pandemic also happened and suddenly networks were like we don't
Starting point is 00:51:11 even know how to make a tv show anymore and i had a sponsor who was willing to help absorb some of the risk so i put in some money the sponsor picked up the slack and i was able to make the show before it found a home and that changed everything um and so then you know i went back into the room and showed it around and rather than having to pitch it the way i just did to you i just said you just watch it right it's done right and if you dig it you know i got five more if you don't i'll find somebody else so yeah i i wasn't really calling my shot although i like the way i felt when you said that yes more about i mean and this was part of the pitch too not to be earnest about it but dirty jobs was a tribute to my grandfather that guy who could build a house without a blueprint
Starting point is 00:52:04 right um and it became a rumination on work this is a tribute to my dad a guy who taught american history to high school and junior high school kids for 30 years and he said that to me years ago he's like look my job is not to present the facts my job is not to inform my students my job is to make them give a damn about topics they otherwise wouldn't and ultimately that never changes you know when it comes to history today everybody's got a different version of how they like to believe it and so i do too but i don't make any pretense about it i just say these things happen charles new bold invented the iron plow that led to the agricultural revolution that impacted bun bah bah and all we go um so all i'm doing is taking facts that aren't in dispute
Starting point is 00:52:55 and putting them in a chronology that nobody's done before and then saying well there you go six degrees it's a tv show i mean it's also genius because it's it's a comment on where we are as like a country we're like you know what people probably aren't going to be reading history books let's make a tv show out of it you're smart you're ahead of the curve well i'm also looking around and seeing people today convinced they can change our present by altering the past you know you can pull down all the statues you want it's not going to change the facts of what happened we can't improve the future by you know shining up the past it is what it is um and how we let it impact us today that matters like if you if you look at history the wrong way or if you
Starting point is 00:53:46 look at look at it through an angry lens well you're going to have people knocking lincoln off mount rushmore but if you provide some sort of context and force people to see what happened not in the context of uh some historical timeline but rather in a way that impacts your neighbor and everybody else then it becomes relevant and then maybe as a fake host i get a little bit more permission uh to go a little bit further than i otherwise would to me it sounds like you sat down you're like i'm mike roe i have the best voice in america i could i can literally read the encyclopedia and people will tune in and listen to me read the encyclopedia and it worked that's the great part about it and honestly i think i would probably listen to you read yeah probably the dictionary
Starting point is 00:54:42 you've got a very soothing voice and i i read that you were an opera singer i don't know if you still if you credit that for your narration voice or if the narration voice came first and then you worked on your singing voice afterwards but it seems to work very it was a very crooked road you know i had i had a stutter when i was a kid but my voice also changed early when i was young i sound pretty much at 11 years old like i like i do now so that's hilarious in its own right like an 11 year old well everybody wanted with a deep voice it was weird man i mean i drew i really went from a guy who talked like this to a guy who's like hey how are you you know and it's just it was very strange um but yeah you know the opera was the thing if you want to see something
Starting point is 00:55:27 really weird i'm sure you have access to the internet right now google mike roe reads phone book and um this is like i don't know 10 years ago somebody said i'll give your foundation a check right now for $20,000 if you read me the phone book because i think it'll help me go to sleep so i i recorded a phone book and i put a chunk of it on youtube and it gets it still gets passed around once in a while and um yeah i mean done a lot of weird things but sitting there for a few hours recording a phone book you know you at some point you got to look at yourself in the mirror and say hey dude what happened to you yeah you're you're basically like uh all the only fans accounts with feet pictures but it's your voice everyone's you know getting turned on your by
Starting point is 00:56:17 your voice you should start in only fans where you just record things behind a paywall you could uh you know retire everything so you mentioned your foundation your foundation micro works foundation i love the idea of this so for people who don't know i i think most people have seen dirty jobs but dirty jobs wasn't just a tv show it's something you kind of enacted in real life the idea that blue collar work uh trade school these things are important not everyone is built you know or wants to go to college you know these are important jobs that need to be done my question for you of all the jobs so you've done you know 300 plus dirty jobs uh have you ever thought about podcasting have you ever thought about the trade of pot are we a dirty job because let me
Starting point is 00:57:03 just throw this out there right we come in here on a sunday we watch 12 hours of football straight we gamble on every game we eat disgusting you know uh food that probably isn't great for you and then we record a podcast at midnight i would contend that's not much different than being like uh i think one time you had you were like a uh reindeer dentist like what's the difference this is a dirty job this is a hard job wouldn't you say look you'll get no argument from me i think all jobs have the potential to become dirty you know depending on how broadly you define the term but it's the it's the sameness of a job that in many ways can ultimately make it dirty if you that thing you just described that 12 hour day you sit there you watch football
Starting point is 00:57:53 eat cold pizza you forget to take a shower do that three four five ten days in a row 20 days hundred days that's when you know that's when your brain starts to change and that's why i don't care how glamorous it is in fact i know glamorous i know fashion models it's disgusting their their job is disgusting the the the things they wind up having to do over time that you would never think about are our opera singing is disgusting the costumes you have to wear the sweet they they smell like a hockey outfit you never know it you're sitting there watching the opera and some guys up there wailing away he smells like ass man i'm telling you i've never encountered a professional opera singer in the midst of a performance who smelled any better than an athlete at the end
Starting point is 00:58:44 of the fourth quarter yeah i mean we had to watch 16 jets games this year i i challenge you to find what's the bear's offense a more difficult job in america than that yeah hey man i still remember the day mid march 1984 i guess it was was an 86 when the colts left baltimore that that for me i mean since this is still you know you guys are basically a sports thing i'll tell you that that changed my relationship with organized sports forever you know what watching those mayflower vans leave baltimore in the middle of the night headed for indianapolis i i've never been able to watch a football game or any organized sport the same way since so sounds like this is the dirtiest job you need to come in and shadow us for a sunday and see

Starting point is 01:02:36 of filth in my mind and when i spin it it doesn't matter which one it lands on they're all honest answers to that question because you can't compare chick sexing to castrating uh baby lambs with your teeth and you can't compare that to hanging upside down on the mackinall bridge 600 feet in the air welding and you can't compare that really to opal mining in kubernetes australia where you're lowered on a bosun's chair into a 60 foot shaft that's about the width of a manhole cover and you can't really describe the claustrophobia that washes over you as you look up and see that little tiny dot of blue gets smaller and smaller and smaller you can't compare collecting semen from a turkey really to anything in fact that's it right there you have a picture of turkey come
Starting point is 01:03:30 i have a poster do you want to hear honestly what that job entails yes i mean jacking off a turkey yeah that's it but jacking off a turkey that's that's child's play i mean i i don't know what's in your mind's eye but the first thing you have to remember is that the turkey's penis is uh inside it's asshole oh right it's called a cloaca yeah and uh typical of most avians and by the way the process i'm about to describe is the reason everybody gets a turkey on thanksgiving there would never be enough turkeys in the country right their breasts are too big right that's right they can't get together yeah to actually do it the old-fashioned way because they're full of steroids so their chests are big so they can't mate so what you do is you take one like that and you put it
Starting point is 01:04:23 upside down between your thighs and you and you squeeze it a little bit and then somebody hands you a jar like it's just a little jar it looks like a baby food jar and the lid on the jar has two holes in it and inside of each hole is a straw so you hold the straw in your freehand and then you direct your attention to the cloaca on the upside down turkey between your thighs and then with your thumb you start to stimulate the cloaca in the time-honored tradition that all males are no doubt familiar with is hot and if you do it right the orgasm that runs through the turkey will allow the semen to collect in its rectum and then what you do is he comes into his own ass jar what a mask no he comes into his own ass oh i thought you said you were a mask no yes he
Starting point is 01:05:22 ejaculate remember he's upside down he ejaculates and the semen then puddles like a disappointing spill of milk uh-huh in its in its asshole so what you do now so wait but how in nature how does does he then have to like open his asshole up and then go ass to ass with the the female with the hind well they they actually face each other in nature and then they roll back and the lady parts smash in to the asshole of the male bird and all of the spoojalote gets transferred through some miraculous way it's very difficult i mean it's yeah it's kind of a miracle that there's ever been a baby turkey born when you consider the fact that they can't actually you know it's it's not the typical in and out thing right it's a very imperfect german pornography thing we're
Starting point is 01:06:16 talking about here yeah this this hits a little too close to home when you're like yeah their breasts are too big and their dick is in their asshole that you look directly at me when you said that so i was like shit okay uh i'll have to sit on your lap with a little baby food that's basically what it is you play the cards you get so they you know the odds are against it in the first place but anyway you got a turkey upside down between your thighs his rectum is full of spunk you take the jar with the two straws and what you do is you put one straw into the rectum right into the sperm and then you put the other straw in your mouth and then you start sucking did you think real quick did you think while you're doing this like there's gotta be a better way
Starting point is 01:07:01 do i have to use my mouth yeah the thought went through my mind you know it's the 21st century guys maybe there's a tool that is a bit more sophisticated than a jar with two straws in it but what you do is you create a vacuum in the jar by sucking on one straw right and then you manipulate the other straw into the turkey's rectum and as that vacuum intensifies the sperm will come through the first straw and collect in your jar and when you get all the sperm out of the rectum you spread your thighs and the bird falls to the ground and flies off to boast and brag with the boys and then they bring you another one and then you do the same thing again the thumb the straw right and this goes on for a while you know until your jar is full of sperm and then you
Starting point is 01:07:56 take the sperm from the jar and put it in these little pipettes and then you put that into an injector gun and then they bring you the hens and you go ahead and put that through there which called a vulva and you pull the trigger and boom you got a pregnant turkey so all right so i would imagine that one was one where you're like i don't i couldn't imagine myself doing this every day is there has there been a dirty job where you think back and you're like you know what i actually really enjoyed that and i i could do that for a living sure um i remember uh you've been in new york surely we're sitting in here right now yeah you're in new york right now correct didn't know have you noticed the uh wooden water towers yeah on top of virtually every building over five stories
Starting point is 01:08:49 you know if you haven't once you look for them that's all you see they're everywhere and uh those wooden water tanks you hold all the water for the building they're on the roof right because gravity gets it to you a whole lot faster than if you had to pump it up but the tanks have basically been built by the same company for the last 120 years called rosinwick and um they need to be replaced you know every 20 30 years or so and these guys have the contracts on all of these tanks so what'll happen is at nine o'clock you know the apartment at these people go to work these guys climb to the roof and they one piece at a time disassemble these tanks now some of these are up 30 40 stories right and you're at the very very top standing on a wooden platform that you're
Starting point is 01:09:40 ultimately dissembling and then they build a new one in the same day and the uh the teamwork and the uh the speed with which these tanks are replaced day in and day out is is a mix of like construction 101 and Cirque du Soleil these guys are just death defying heights doing man's work in a in a real team oriented fashion it's a it's a marvel to watch and I had a ball doing it and was glad to go home with all my fingers attached because there are swinging axes and malls you know 150 feet in the air balancing on one foot I mean it's it's incredible to see and I I really had a good time doing that one those are the those are the coolest because those are you think of you know where we're at as a civilization and you just take all these things
Starting point is 01:10:39 for granted and you don't realize you know someone's fucking a turkey someone's building an entire water holder on top of my building while I'm at work and that's where the Emmy comes in whoa look at that that turkey changed my career that turkey still calls yeah hey man what do you when you coming back to Minnesota I I miss your fancy opposable thumb yeah best lay I ever had did you did you request a picture of that turkey just so you could always like you know remember your day with it um that turkey is seared into my retina so I really don't need its picture but a friend of mine did blow that one up and so yeah I keep it on the wall to remind me that no matter how weird my day gets you know I could be jerking
Starting point is 01:11:26 off at there it could be stranger do you find yourself getting an itch for that stuff when you're not uh working on a new project when you're not out there doing something like your new show are you like man I really want to get out there and and get my hands dirty you know it's funny I just got off the phone with the network actually and they're they're open to rebooting the whole thing and I'm I'm really of two minds you know I don't think I don't think I could do the same show the same way and nor nor what I want to but I do feel like it's a good time right now to get out there and and do another show about essential work whatever that means right because I don't think it means what we think it means and um I think people would welcome a new look at what
Starting point is 01:12:13 people do in the course of making a living um but the thing that I miss most and and the thing I've been able to do in this new show so I guess really I don't miss it but the important thing um wasn't the specifics of the job it was the way we shot it and it was having a behind-the-scenes camera that never stopped rolling we never did a second take on on dirty jobs you know what you saw for better or worse was what I saw as it happened and um that's the trick in my world you know in nonfiction if I can if I can shoot a show in a way that makes the viewer feel like they were there with me rubbing that little turkey heiny right there with me then that's what matters right it doesn't matter if it's a history show it doesn't matter if it's a squishy facebook show like the
Starting point is 01:13:05 one I'm doing now called returning in the favor it doesn't matter if the viewer feels like they're there with you then you get you get permission to do damn near anything you want yeah there was always something that I really enjoyed about dirty jobs which was you're taking sometimes outrageous subject matter like jacking off a turkey and you're but you're treating the work that's being done with a lot of dignity ultimately and and shining a light on on people that you know sometimes might be looked down upon because maybe they didn't go to the same school as somebody else or maybe it's not the job that everybody dreams of growing up what was what what was the or I guess what I'm asking is like when you were getting ready to do the show uh how were you making
Starting point is 01:13:49 sure that the spotlight was was on the right places and it wasn't turning it into like a a cartoonish side show at sometimes yeah that's a great question honestly and um thank you great I mean I don't mean to suggest that like all your questions aren't great it's just that of all the questions you've asked so far that is top 20 thank you thank you um the lesson isn't where to shine the light the lesson is where not to shine it and in my world I had been impersonating a show host for 20 years I'd had a hundred different jobs I'd worked for every network doing every kind of show and all of it was bullshit all of it was me hitting a mark and saying a line and trying to convince people I know more than I do by talking like this right I mean that's that's what a host does and
Starting point is 01:14:46 I was happy doing it and I'd probably still be doing it uh because I did okay but in a sewer in San Francisco in 2002 uh I had an encounter I had been hosting a show called Evening Magazine and um my mother my mother called me that morning and said Michael your grandfather who was my my idol by the way my guy who built a house without a blueprint like the one I was born in she said uh your grandfather is 91 he's not going to be around forever wouldn't it be great if when he turned on the tv before he died he saw you doing something that looked like work that's a great line so it's my mother right so I said well it's a good point so that night on Evening Magazine I went into the sewers of San Francisco to host the show just to get my mother
Starting point is 01:15:47 off my back and uh when I was down there I ran into a sewer inspector a guy named Jean Cruz whose job was really just to kind of keep an eye on me and show me around but while I was down there we were attacked by thousands of thumb-sized roaches more rats than I've ever seen in my life and I fell face first in a river of shit and long story short I couldn't do my job but I could help him and my cameraman wound up filming me working as an apprentice with a sewer inspector who was replacing the rotten old bricks in the sewers of San Francisco with new bricks backbreaking difficult unspeakably disgusting work but really really really important because if that guy calls in sick for a few weeks and everybody else who does what he does those sewers
Starting point is 01:16:36 collapse and all of San Francisco is covered in shit which is funny because it kind of is now today anyway but that's another story the point is when I looked at the footage that my cameraman got that day of me working not hosting but working with an actual expert it became obvious to me that that's something I would want to watch as a viewer because I had been humbled you know I mean the sewer didn't let me do my job the way I wanted to the only thing I could do down there was help this guy and so when the spotlight shifted from me as a host pretending to know more than he did to the actual dude who was doing the actual work then all kinds of great information came out vis-a-vis our conversation and along the way the viewer got to see some
Starting point is 01:17:34 giant condoms floating by on a river of crap and you know all sorts of other weird things you would never expect to see on a tv show and so that was the footage that sold dirty jobs ultimately and that was the phone call from my mom that sent me into the sewer and that's the reason the show is dedicated to my grandfather who just wanted to see me doing something on tv that looked like work before he died and so you know none of that was on my mind when it was happening but looking back yeah I wouldn't be talking to you right now if it weren't for a rat the size of a loaf of bread that jumped on my shoulder drove me into the sludge and ultimately convinced me to work with a sewer inspector instead of host a show wow it also sounds like
Starting point is 01:18:23 your mom was trying to convince her dad that she did a good job as a mom by raising a son who wasn't totally worthless well look it's kind of like being the son of of a great athlete or the daughter of a great athlete like the pressure the pressure on that kid you know Cal Ripken junior junior or whatever it's like how in the world right my grandfather really could build a house without a blueprint he could he could take this watch apart and put it back together blindfolded never read the instructions anything in his life right I was sure I was going to follow in his footsteps up until I was 17 and the truth is just because you're passionate about something doesn't mean you you can't suck at it and and
Starting point is 01:19:14 the handy gene like like the athletic gene in many cases is recessive and I I didn't get it the the things my grandfather could do with a construction mindset I just didn't get it you know and so he told me when I was 17 yeah I get a you can be a tradesman he said just get a different toolbox because you're never going to be able to do what I'm able to do and that was a big lesson in a hard lesson but that's why I got in the opera that's why I got in show business and that's why 20 years later 25 years later when my mother called me it was like yeah for my grandfather I'd do whatever I could so he saw me before he died in the sewers he saw me on the golden gate bridge he saw me do all sorts of things and that's all it was supposed to be
Starting point is 01:20:09 three one-hour specials to get my mother off my back but and people watched and they wrote Billy Matt that they wrote it it was like it wasn't just we liked the show it it wasn't like we like you it wasn't about that it was you've got to see what my uncle does for money where do you see what my sister brother uncle because cut right all these letters from people who wanted to share what they do for a living and that ultimately is what made me think oh okay this is something more than a smart alec crawling through a river of crap making the occasional dick joke so I you're smarter than us I think it's safe to say but you realize you did just write you another episode for six degrees like you need to do a six degrees of your own life
Starting point is 01:21:01 with how your your grandfather became handy and how your mom was ashamed of the beta son that she raised and how it ended up with you doing dirty jobs everybody has a story man and and you know five six ten degrees I'll show you this will freak you out more than turkey jack and off story that was that was oh what is this the genealogy of Michael Gregory okay and so look at this thing this was put together by a fan of dirty jobs a couple years ago I was on a small private plane and we landed in Maine and when I landed I took a selfie of me in front of the plane and the tail number was on it and on the tail number some guy tracked me down to where I was and this guy's name was Jesse Hagan and he put together he'd taken a year he's a genealogist
Starting point is 01:22:03 and he put together the entire story of my whole life going back 10 12 14 generations Jesus turns out I'm related to Lord Baltimore right guy shows up at a private airport and gives this to me and so a little creepy yeah did he say was he like hey not to be a creepier but uh I've been studying you I was completely freaked out because I've had like stalking issues and stuff like that over the years well you had the drone issue so yeah it's pretty oh yeah the dry me there many many many many weird and strange stories but having a guy waiting for you at dark next to your little tiny plane with a giant book saying Mike row I have something for you it's the story of your entire life and your family's life yes yeah but that yeah I mean it's crazy that is crazy
Starting point is 01:22:56 my last question was um American chopper you did the voice for that now was that your easiest job because basically every week you could be like big paul's mad at little paul little paul's mad mad at big paul bike gets made how did that like did you just submit it one for every season narration is is my favorite thing to do uh well that's not true but my favorite thing to do is everything right it's got to be a mix of everything but narration is is is awesome and that story actually is is funny because I went in uh to read the copy like you always what I had no idea what the show was didn't know anything about it and I I got in the booth and I sat down and the uh engineer said give me a quick mic test so I I read it poorly on purpose like I was just
Starting point is 01:23:50 imitating a bad FM DJ meets a car salesman so it was like a father a son the drama the deadline American chopper right just that well in my headphones I hear the producer guy named Hank Capshaw and he's like hey Mike I'm Hank I'm like oh hey Hank how are you just doing a mic test he goes oh no that that was great I love that I thought he was kidding so I said uh let me do it once more the way I want to do it and so I did it the way I want to do it he said oh yeah that's terrific great well he uses the mic test the joke and he puts it into American chopper not only do I wind up doing 150 episodes of that with that same ridiculous voice they go on to produce American hot rod yep American casino UFC ultimate fighter 20 other shows out of the same shop and I did the

Starting point is 01:27:58 if you donate a thousand dollars and you show it proof it has to be from this point forward so you can't have already donated it you get to decide and you get to decide what swear or racial slur that Jake will say on our podcast no we can make a list but oh I would hear him say the c-word yeah I think we got it I think we gotta start it out properly and just have Jake drop a hard F bomb I think that's a that's a good way to like play a flag and be like yes we're really gonna do this Jake yeah so I was yeah what I was gonna say is I fucking love helping small businesses oh okay all right good job Jake good job sorry sorry to the young listeners by the way yeah you're fired no if this blocks me from uh calling a game one day because I'm helping a good cause that
Starting point is 01:28:53 I'm not gonna lose sleep over that oh there we go and there's a deep drive to left field and that'll make it a two nothing ball game so open out what I'm gonna I'm definitely gonna donate by the way I'm gonna get you to say something really bad but okay so we'll get it going forward and who wants to donate a thousand dollars get to decide what Jake is going to say on the podcast but we need proof and some words are off limits oh what words are off limits yeah say them you gotta say I'm otherwise I'm gonna be like wow he'll say these I can't even spell there's a fine no okay you can't even spell it hey Bubba can you take Jake saying fucking and just have that like looped over and over again and take on me outro thank you mm-hmm yeah and actually a lot of
Starting point is 01:29:39 money like we should make I would like to figure out a way for it to be my my my phone call my ring tone uh maybe we should make necklaces in the in the barstool sports store that just play Jake saying fucking over over instead of the intros where it's like hey guys it's big cat it can just be Jake saying fucking fuck yeah fuck fuck and then everyone's gonna be like who's this guy swearing on the beginning of all these podcasts it'll be very funny if that's what eventually got us the explicit tag on itunes yes bad yes uh all right hey let's do a couple guys on chicks and send everyone on the FAQs this week not guys on chicks but we will continue sub guys this may come off as weird but how would you describe the smell of the PMT studio uh lavender now it smells like old jeans
Starting point is 01:30:26 that's the best way I can describe it I it's not anything this the smell goes back and forth the smell goes back and forth because there was a time when I think someone exploded a pumpkin in there that it smelled godawful there was a time when we we had like uh we were trying to do like a knives out mystery situation where there's if you look at the ceiling above me there's all this red juice and for a while we all were accusing each other and then Bubba just walked in one day he was like oh yeah that was me my bad yeah so I it smells ever like everything it's beer coffee it smells like piss for some reason right now I don't know why it smells a little bit like mountain dew and dip I don't know did you piss did you piss I walked into the studio to pee pissing
Starting point is 01:31:10 on the corner I thought I was a joke that's okay into a bottle I know I will not like animal yeah I will not piss shame yeah so that's pretty much what it smells like yeah a little bit like and it's funny you bring up like the pumpkin because it's almost like uh it's the carpet in here's a little time capsule so sometimes if we clean the carpet it brings out the stench of that pumpkin that exploded in here like two years ago and then the whole studio smells like rotten pumpkin again for a week yeah it's like the rings of a tree yep why didn't big cat and pft have to do soggy sorrows when their team lost in the playoffs why didn't we because Hank asked us to and also we totally expected our team to lose so I don't it wasn't really sorrowful yeah we were just like I did it for
Starting point is 01:31:55 I did it for cody parky that was one that I didn't see coming and that I I thought the bears actually had a really good team that year this year the bears got in from a fucking technicality letting in seven teams awl here yeah I don't disagree awl here when will you have people back in for in-person interviews also honk what's the latest you or bubble have stayed up producing a show hmm I think um once this vaccine gets rolling I'm ready to do it I'm ready to hit the road again like I don't I don't know if we're gonna happen again but uh I really hope that it does yeah I mean I currently I'm not because again I'm I'm living in a casino but I am ready for in-person interviews again would you guys say over under 4th of July
Starting point is 01:32:46 over probably later realistic yeah we gotta get we gotta get more of the uh the special interviews in here like remember that that lady that cuddled you yes yeah yeah that was good yes by the way breaking news real quick breaking news breaking news breaking news John Heyman just tweeted John Heyman just tweeted glad to see Tory Hunter Mark Burley and Tim Hudson pull above five percent and thus remain on the ballot well I didn't vote for them the five percent rule is dumb and too many great players have been knocked out early by it I love it you fucking prick as a not Tory Hunter fan I'm just glad to see him still around that's essentially he just walked up to them pointed right in their face they're like
Starting point is 01:33:35 yo just so you know I didn't invite you to this party but it's cool that you're here I'm gonna give this guy a grit coin real quick when are the car sticks coming back in stock I was too naive to see the value earlier and now I'm kicking myself please advise hmm that's a we'll do a special run ran into production issues um they're not making sticks anymore COVID you know you just blame everything no you know what we'll do is what we'll do we will absolutely once we get to a few more states for the barstool sports book we will do a car stick bet yes and we will we will have car sticks giving away because that will be a fantastic bet hey big cat and pft what are the things you are most proud of in regards to the show Michael I think just keeping Billy alive for the
Starting point is 01:34:20 last three years has got to be way up there well you keeping Billy alive me trying to kill yeah he might die next week but up to this point like they can't take away those years that Billy has somehow not I mean Billy's lifespan after joining the show I think everybody was betting would be basically like Larry threes yes uh uh what am I most proud of I'm honestly most proud of that we're like going on year five and it's it's crazy that we've had this audience for this long and it just every day it kind of feels like not even real I remember at the beginning we're like wait this many people are listening and then it just keeps kept happening and I guess it's cool that everyone just like you know chilled out and stuck around hell yeah uh like cool guys way to just hang
Starting point is 01:35:07 out with us no you guys are you guys are good hang we appreciate yeah right right exactly we thought we thought the party would have ended by now but everyone's still here so guess what beer's still flowing let's have some fun how do you guys find Billy and will you guys be betting against him against hose they can take away and where can you bet uh on this fight I will absolutely not be publicly betting against Billy wait wait hey PFC you you see what he just looked right it was a classic Hank where Hank where could they bet on it I know I'm just reading the question I might have added something in the end that I was curious of obviously that was clear where so where Hank I play bar slap actually there were you can you can bet on five of the fights and you
Starting point is 01:35:50 can win $25,000 that's incredible but they there's a there was a question first how'd you guys find Billy we found Billy yeah Billy Billy applied as an intern it was actually so great because Hank wrangled up all the intern video or intern interns like there's 20 people I think we interviewed that day and he said to PFD and I he's like I know who you guys are gonna pick but I'm not going to tell you who and then Billy showed up out of breath with a five page resume stapled that had like I don't know 17 lot it was George O'Leary's fucking resume and uh we were like Hank is this him and he and he was like yep like all right you're hired yeah the thing that also that that made me say that in the first place is that there was like 20 interns I was like doing
Starting point is 01:36:35 interviews and then I had lost my TV remote from my apartment and my roommates like got and got to get a new one and so I interviewed Billy I was like this kid's kind of character and then I was like can you run to Best Buy for me to get me this remote or whatever and I legitimately walked upstairs came back downstairs like five minutes later and he's like I'm back here it is and it was like so fast I was like how did you even come back this fast and that's and then from there I was like I you know this kid's got it and also it actually is a good lesson too with our two interns that we've ever hired well three counting chili football but the she never hired yet but like not being super super fans actually was big in their favor like Jake showed up thinking that he
Starting point is 01:37:17 was going to be a columnist for barstool sports Billy showed up pretending that he listened when it was very clear he had never listened to the show someone in his someone in his high school class was like bro barstool's kind of cool and he's like yeah you know what I'm gonna try to get I think there was one line on his resume that was just a typed out URL to his huddle highlight film no I'm trying to click on this give him my perspective can I give him my perspective on what happened this is what happened so I listen to the show every day driving to school in high school because we're only on three times a week right well well it takes me a while three times yeah like sometimes the show like was
Starting point is 01:37:58 flowing in my commute so then one day I followed Hank on Twitter and Hank was like looking for a New York City based interns and I was like oh shit this would be awesome it was late my senior year of high school and um they like you know my high school had a thing where you had to go get an internship like so to like so you didn't have to go to class like after APs were done so you could just fuck around for your senior spring so I like applied to the internship at barstool like I like sent my resume to Hank and I was like oh man this would be like so cool if this happened it would never happen like I like why would they choose me out of like for no reason I don't know so then I went to the interview I was sitting in this waiting room with all these dudes one guy
Starting point is 01:38:41 I was dressed like the Riddler or something if you don't remember that like there's all these guys like these like some dudes were like had like tons of this story strikes no but like I'm saying there I'm like I zoned out honestly 30 seconds ago I don't know what he's talking about but people ask this a lot and I was like there's no way I'm gonna get this job can I tell my side I just I'm gonna explain everyone who's sitting in the room with me we don't care no but part of me was like part of me was like like relieved that I wasn't gonna get it because like oh man like I could just go and tell my buddies about this it'll be hilarious so then I did the interview last came back interviewed with you guys it's the worst story of all time
Starting point is 01:39:24 I didn't prepare anything yeah we know we know job and then Hank emailed me said you got the job and I was like well I can't not do it we also didn't pay you that made it a lot easier I think we were like we're gonna pay you like under the table yeah Billy what was your first impression of Hank me and big cat do you remember the remote yeah I remember the remote you failed to mention that and you're like 25 minute story right well that's it sucks yeah well did I mean don't give me that tone Billy the story sucked I know but I was just like you know like I legitimately had no idea like why you guys would even think like why you're telling it again you're telling the story again anyway so getting the remote but my first so my first one back then you guys were like a lot younger
Starting point is 01:40:10 and you had a lot higher no but like you guys had higher muscle mass and you can see in your face like 50s in yours heads were like this big back then I don't know why I remember that that's your takeaway no legitimately my takeaway was like in your 50s wait so you're saying that their heads have gone way bigger since then they've actually gotten smaller but like my first match you guys like you guys have huge heads oh my god all right let's end the show on that you can't better than that I love you Billy wait you're gonna kick the shit out of Jose all right what's the number big at 34 there's one stuck in that's oh yeah wait 99 redraw we're gonna have to redraw we're gonna have to redraw that wasn't a wood frogs can freeze themselves jakey was about to
