April 8th, and Tiger Woods is officially back. He looks awesome today too. Now, I think he's what,
like four shots back at the lead. Who cares? Who cares? He's in that perfect position where when
he's tied for like 10th or 11th place, they still show his name on the leaderboard as being the first
person in the group of like 40 guys that's one under. So he's in and around the leaderboard.
The pink shirt that he's wearing right now, the mock turtleneck short sleeve tight shirt,
people are going nuts over and you're going to see a lot of guys that try to pull off this look
that Tiger's got right now and it's only Tiger that can pull this off. If you or I showed up,
it would look like we got like a big tuba cookie dough that got left out in the sun for three days.
Spilling out of it would be the word I would use. But yeah, no, it's Tiger Woods. Even if you're not,
like I have conflicting feelings over Tiger Woods over the years, but once he's out there playing
at Augusta, you get swept up. Like immediately you become a huge Tiger Woods fan. He is probably
one of the only athletes who has that ability to do to any person who casually likes golf,
diehard golf fan, anyone. You see Tiger. He's making incredible shots. He's back in the mix
and all feels right with the world. So people were saying earlier today that there's a lot of
like Tiger haters out there, people that root against Tiger Woods. I don't really think that
there's that many people that root against Tiger Woods. I think that when he gets out there,
like he said, any plays, everyone really hopes he wins. There are some people that, you know,
maybe hoped for a while when it was like Phil Mickelson or Sergio Garcia that were starting
to be like the big competitor to Tiger. We're rooting for all those guys just because we hoped
it would make Tiger Woods play better that we could root for him harder.
I think it's also he's in that that I don't want to say twilight of his career because who the
fuck knows with Tiger Woods? I mean, he's amazing. Every time he's like on, it's just a joy to watch.
But let's call it the twilight of his career. I think there's something different that happens
in the twilight of your career when you're an all time great, where people are going to appreciate
you like how we appreciate LeBron on this podcast. Like that happens. It's amazing what he's done.
Like the fact that he's been in the league for 20 years, made the playoff so many times,
played in the Olympics so many times, and he's still out there willing his team
to almost victories night after night. I as a quick sidebar and LeBron, I tweeted that
picture of him with the tweet that he tweeted and people got really upset at me. You were doing
LeBron a favor. And I was like, wait, I'm just posting his tweet that he told me to keep the
same energy about. It was very bizarre. Like I wasn't saying anything pointed. Obviously,
I'm not a LeBron fan, but man, the LeBron stands came out fast. They were very, I think it was
maybe just because they, they, the Lakers lost was a Wednesday night, Tuesday night, late Tuesday
night to officially be out of the playoffs. And all the LeBron fans and Lakers fans, no Hank, no,
I'm sorry, they're not, they're not even in their teams that make the playoffs. Even though the
Lakers are 30 and 24 this year. No, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't even realize that. I think
all the LeBron fans woke up the next day on Wednesday and being like, we have to defend this,
this man to the ends of earth, which I respect. I always respect going to bat for your guys,
but I just, all I did was repost his tweet. Well, we're also, we're respecting his wishes. This
was a request from past LeBron to hold future LeBron accountable for past LeBron's words.
And we respect past LeBron almost as much as future LeBron. So our hands were tied. We had to
do it, but I'll say something nice about LeBron. He has waited till the perfect time to miss the
playoffs because this, you know, like if he missed the playoff, let's say six years ago,
there would be a hole in the playoffs like, Oh man, it sucks at LeBron. I'm excited about the NBA
playoffs with or without LeBron because there's so many good young players and so many great
young teams that good job LeBron. You waited until the league was in great hands and then you
bowed out. Much like Bruce Arians, LeBron decided that now was the time to step away from the game
and put the spotlight on some up and coming players that might not be able to get that much
attention if LeBron was still around dominating the conversation. I'm also excited to see which
teams LeBron snuggles up to as the playoffs proceed. Oh, I know because he's going after Steph
Curry. He's like, man, it'd be a dream to play with that guy. It's going to be fun to see which
teams, well, I'll just spoil it later. It's going to be the teams that win that LeBron is going
to be like, man, imagine imagine if I was on that team. I'll just call my shot right now. He's
going to become the biggest John Morant fan, baby Bron, because, you know, John Morant will do
something insane in the playoffs and he'd be like, Holy shit, this guy I love to play with him.
Can we get him traded to the Lakers? It would be funny though if LeBron, the clip of LeBron
saying he wanted to be on play with Steph and Steph reacting to it. It'd be funny if LeBron went
to the Warriors because we found out, Oh, there we go. Cubs just hit the first home run of the
season. It would be funny to watch LeBron be second fiddle to Steph because that's what happens
in Golden State. Steph is the man we saw with Kevin Durant, who is, you know, a better basketball
player than Steph. But guess what? It's Steph's team. So I would like that. What if LeBron went
to the Nets? That would be funny too. That would be very funny. I think wherever he goes next.
I think if LeBron, if he's mature enough, he can decide to go to the Nets, swallow his pride,
come off the bench, be like the sixth guy, get out there and provide a spark. If LeBron does
that, I would actually respect him. Now there's no chance in hell. No, I think that he would ever
do that. That was a sidebar LeBron. We kind of got away from ourselves. But Masters, Tiger's back.
It feels good. Now we are being positive about Max Homa. I thought he had the most fun of anybody
out there today. Well, I was going to say, I'm positively pissed off that he bogeyed 18. Okay.
I thought that you fucking bum. I thought Max did okay. He had a smile on his face the entire
time. He was behind the eight ball coming out there today after what happened to him at the
par three contest where he had a pin in one, which many people are saying is more difficult to pull
off than a hole in one. He hit the pin, but because Dude Perfect and Bryson DeShambeau went out there
and stomped all over God's creation and ruined some of the undulations in the green, he didn't
actually get the hole in one. So he's probably feeling a little pissed off that he didn't get
credited with that, but he's still in it. Max is still in it. We're still in an update, by the
way, for the spreadsheet. We decided we put it all on all $50 of winnings and also the initial
investment of $2,000 on Max to be top 30 in the tournament. Now, Billy wanted to do just a hand
of blackjack. This actually is, I had one year where I lived very close to Wrigley and we sold,
we had a parking spot and we sold parking for Wrigley and me and my roommates put all the money
on a week one bet and we just lost it all. So it was like, oh, we did all that for nothing.
This kind of feels like it could be similar where it's like we pumped ourselves up and it's a big
group bet and we're all saying we and then Max is not even going to make the cut. I'm staying
positive. But Billy, how are you feeling? I had a thought last night. I had a thought and I was
like, what if I just kept the money and just didn't put a bet in? It was a thought fleeting.
It fled and I put the bet in, but we'd still have the money. Did you now, did that thought occur to
you as long ago as like before the NCAA tournament? It would have been way easier for you to just not
put any of that money in and just give us 50 bucks. You seriously could have just lied to us the
entire time and put up fake spreadsheets like accounting fraud and being like, okay, here's
where we're at. And then just giving us $2050 back and we'd be very happy. Billy made off.
That would have actually been so much easier than what I did. Yeah, just fakes a bunch of returns.
That's the last time you'll ever work hard. Billy just realized what a Ponzi scheme is.
But I do think though that Brooks is in a good position going out there later on in the day
once the courses softened up a little bit. His fresh legs getting out there. I think that it's
nice for him that Bryson, Bryson's really a big story. We should have let off with Bryson to
Shambo today shot four over par. He's three over now. Three over par. Well, no, he's that would
be eight over par because he says it's a six par 67. Bryson's absolutely shitting himself
out there on the course day. So I'm just going to guess conservatively that Brooks goes to under par
today. Yeah, to under par to under par. Wait, 67 to under the normal person. Okay, not not the
not the steroid part. That would be awesome if he went 65. Well, I'll be I'll be pleasantly surprised
if that happens. Yeah, so the Masters, I mean, this is this probably has never happened before
where Masters and opening days same day. Great sports day. We needed one after it had been
almost three days since we had a major event. This really is the perfect sports day for dads.
Yeah, I bet you that there's some dads out there that took today off, mowed the lawn in the morning,
then came in and watched the Masters and baseball all day had a hot dog, had a beer,
baseball is back. Do we want to do our World Series predictions? We never did that.
We should do it. Baseball is back. I'll say, Oh, man, there's a lot of teams out there. There's
a lot of teams. The Dodgers feel like they should be good again. The Dodgers will be good again.
It's going to take me a few weeks to get into baseball most there that
NL team with the most consecutive playoff appearances. It's a fun fact.
The Dodgers versus the Mariners Dodgers win. I'm going to go. You like that Mariners haven't made
the playoffs in 20 years. I'm going to go Phillies in the World Series. Oh, I like that. Shit. I
forgot about the Phillies. I like the Phillies team that hasn't made short playoffs in the longest
amount of time. Yep. Which is crazy. Man, Hank just series fun fact on top of fun fact might have
been dozen questions I was on recently. So yeah, I like the Phillies a lot. They have the rating
MVP who's also on the Seamhead Express. I might add Bryce Harper and they have Cassiano. They've
got Cassiano. They have Swerber. Yep. Good team. A lot of sluggers. I'm just going to all sluggers
this year. I think it's going to be the Phillies against the Padres in the World Series. Oh,
okay. Well that. Yep. Yeah, I'm aware. Okay. I just think it's those are the two best teams.
Right. So they're going to face each other in the NLCS and then the winner of that. I'm going to say
is the real World Series champion. But no, out of the ale.
You know, a lot of teams. A lot of teams. I really think this year the Yankees get it done.
A lot of teams. I think it's going to be the Yankees. There we go. The Astros. The Astros.
Hank, give us your World Series prediction. I'm thinking. I'm thinking the Reds.
Okay. Good rebuild. Good pick. Good rebuild. You know, they got a lot out of the sets. They,
you know, they got rid of the fat and they kept some of their better players. Tons of cap space.
Tons of cap space. Tons of potential. A lot of room for the prospects to really play to their
potential. It's a great, is a great Major League Baseball. There's no log jam. There's no log jam
in the Reds organization. If they get a good player, they can come right up. Yep. We will have
someone. We'll have a guest on in the next week or so to talk MOB. Maybe Dan here. What about the
Orioles, Hank? You want to do the Orioles? I was actually thinking the Orioles. People are mad
about that wall though. They're mad about that left field wall. What's going on with the wall?
They changed it. So they moved it out. I want to say, hey, Jake, you can double check. And they
also raised it, which makes no sense. I don't really understand. That's, you know what that is.
It's just literally the Orioles being like, our, our pitching is so bad. Right. That we have to
change our, we have to build that wall to keep all the home runs contained within it. Let's go
with Tigers. Maybe also taking away some seats so that it's less capacity. I don't know. Yeah.
Javi Baez. Tigers. Niggi. Can you find it, Jake? What, what exactly they did? The wall was raised
from just over seven feet to 13 feet. And did they move it back? Libcat. Internet. Build that wall.
Your anti-wall. No, I'm pro this wall. But you're saying people are mad about the wall. People are
mad about the wall. It is a big, beautiful wall, like no one's ever seen. It's the gorgeous wall.
Jake's fighting a paywall right now. Oh, no. I hate that wall. He's, he's fighting through. Jake's
hitting the back wall. Damn. So, uh, yeah, back about 30 feet. 30 feet. That's crazy. That's a
crazy change to the wall park, especially I don't make baseball more fun. Yeah. Like, hey,
what should we do? Less thingers? Well, they did make the bases bigger, which I'll be the
first to admit I'm looking at these bases. It's getting to me. I like it. They're huge. Big ass
bases. Is that a bunk? I don't think so. I know. I just like to turn on by the bases. No, I just
those are big ass bases. Do I have to go to a stadium and fuck a base now? Yeah, I think you
might want to. I will. I'll fuck a base. I'll get to third base. There's more to,
more to hold on to now. I'll just lick the base. Yeah. Yeah. What are you gonna say,
Billy? Yankees braves. Oh, Yankees braves. Yankees in six. Classic. Yankees in six. All right,
then Jake, why don't you finish us off with the nice work? Let's make sure we cover every team.
White socks. Okay. Jake's taking this seriously. Well, I want to, yeah, you want to be right.
I don't want to, well, after what happened doesn't matter. New Orleans. Yeah, try to be right.
All right. White socks, Phillies. Okay, we got two Phillies. So I really do like the Phillies.
I don't, I'm kind of joking about the Yankees because they're obviously going to win like 90
games and then they'll lose in the playoffs. But I like the Blue Jays too. Yeah, no one said
Mets. I parlayed the Yankees and Mets team total unders. Oh, okay. The Mets, not a great start.
It is the most Mets thing of all time that before the first pitch of the first game,
there are two aces are both out with like questionable shoulders. I think Sharers is
going to start game two though. Oh, yeah. That's good. Yeah. New York City as a sports town is a
joke. It's, it's the entire time we've lived here. It's been a joke. It's been like that for like a
decade. I know. I think it was the first decade in the history of New York that no team won a
championship. New York FC. Yeah. No, I'm saying real sports. Real sports. Yeah. And real sports.
Memes remains, they're the Red Bulls. No, there's two. They're the ones that play in the Yankee
Stadium with that and they have that little banner that look like a tablecloth. Now Memes is very
hopeful though that like every free agent wide receiver that's becoming available is going to
want to go to the Jets. Why wouldn't they keep dreaming? Keep dreaming. Yeah. Debo Samuel actually
removed the logo of the 49ers from its Instagram bio today. So trouble in paradise. Another is this
league. Yeah. It'd be funny if the Niners just removed his name from the website just like going
back at the player. Yeah. Alright, let's play this game. Hit for tat. Yeah. Take away his locker.
And then DK might be on the trading block as well. I don't know. I don't know what's going on
anymore in the NFL. This league never sleeps guys. No, it's crazy. Everyone wants to move
everywhere. And we, I mean, when's the draft coming up a couple weeks? It's like two weeks.
I feel like it's like April 17th to 19th. No, 28 or 30. There we go. In Vegas. Yeah.
In Vegas. That's when we'll get back into it. But yeah, this is a, it was a nice, it's a nice
sports day. The Masters. I'm excited. We'll hopefully have our good friend Scott Van Pelton
on Monday. Talk about Tiger's win. Yep. Whoa, man. Imagine if Tiger won. I'm just going to say
we are, I think we have the power to do this. If Tiger wins the Masters, you all don't have to
work on Monday. Yeah. Everyone that's listening to me right now, the day's off for all America.
Congratulations. Take a day to celebrate Tiger. Yes. If it doesn't make the cut,
you have to take a driver's ed glass. Well, Darren Revelle, I think has to get in a cage
with a tiger, which he'll fucking skate out of that one. Imagine if you actually had like a
suicide bet for Tiger to win. Tiger would then become the most beloved athlete of all time.
He would get in a cage in a smaller cage inside a bigger cage. So you could say that technically
he was in a cage with a tiger. Or the tiger will be so well fed that it'll be sleeping.
Maybe, maybe a dead tiger. Maybe he'll kill it. Yeah. Or bore it to death by telling him
lame anecdotes and then step into the cage. Showing all of his memorabilia.
What do you say, Billy? You had that thought in your face. Well, maybe he just gets in a
cage with Tiger Woods. I don't think Tiger Woods would not anywhere near him. Tiger would probably
fuck him to death if they got into a cage with others. I don't want Tiger doesn't want anything
to do with him. All right. Great, great Friday. I mean, it's a great sports weekend. Great,
best nap of the year. Yep. Saturday and Sunday. Would you say Saturday's naps better or Sunday?
I think Sunday is like tier one nap. I think Saturday's better just because Sunday,
you kind of have to pay attention if it's like heating up. You know what I mean? Like if it's
if it's if it's good and there's a few guys in contention, you don't really want to nap. That's
more like a 10 minute nap. Saturday, you can go like hour and a half. There's also the the raise
and pitch and cadence of Jim Nance's voice very slightly on Sunday because he's a little bit
more excited. Yeah. He says imagine dragons. It comes out a little bit, you know, more splash
and pizzazz on it. Everything feels a little bit more tense. But I'm happy that August is back.

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. We've been circling it for a while, finally here.
That's our fault, by the way. Please. It's Tom Segura. You can find him anywhere on, he's got a
podcast, Your Mom's House. He does a podcast with Burke Kreischer. He's on tour right now. Yep.
So you're coming everywhere to it, right? I'm coming everywhere. You're coming everywhere to
our tour. I think we're going to run this next week after the national championship, but where
are you stopping on the tour so we can get people to come out? It is, it is an overwhelming
daunting schedule. So when you say like, where are you going? I'm like, do you have time to list
Do it all. 200 cities? I don't know. You're doing 200 cities? More. Holy fuck. How long is this tour?
It started in August of 21 and it ends in April of 23. You're just talking about life now. You're
just talking about like you live on the road. Kind of. And I have kids. What? And like they remind
me. Yeah. They're like, you're our dad. And I'm like, I know. That's a tough conversation to have.
I imagine like I don't have kids of my own, but having your own child be like, Hey,
are you still my father? Yeah. Must be like a real humbling experience. I can tell like when
things are good, like when I come home, sometimes they're like dad. And I'm like, Hey, and then
sometimes I come home and they're like, Hey, he's back. How old are your kids? Six and three.
Okay. Yeah. Because the age they need you the most. Right. I have, I have a two and a half
year old and a 10 month old and I'm, I'm struggling with the like we went on the road for March
Madness a couple of weeks ago. I come back. I'm sure you feel this. I'm sure every parent knows
this. You come back and like my two and a half year old son is like, I'm kind of off you. Like
where have you been? So then the last two weeks, I built it back up and we're like best friends
again. And now I have to go to New Orleans tonight and it's like all this building we've
done. Do you bring, do you bring shit back? I do. I bring gifts. Yeah. Every time, like when I walk
in the house, sometimes I'm like, Hey guys. And I just expecting like a dad moment. And right away
they're like, do you have surprises for us? Do you have gifts? I go, yeah. And then I don't. Yeah.
They're like, where are they? I go, they're being shipped. They were so big. I had to
fucking ship them. And they're like, Oh, what are they getting here? I'm like, I'm in the next few
hours. I think I'm like, go buy something. Do you live in Austin? I do. Yeah. So there's a,
there's a pretty decent, I think it's a Cinnabon in the airport, right? You can pick up some Cinnabon
on the way back. Bro. Like look what daddy brought. You may have just changed my whole life. Yeah.
There's a lot of stuff in that airport that's like, you're going to have just a billion
Keep Austin weird t-shirts that you pick up at the very last minute. Yeah, I should start,
you know, but the thing is once like your kid's two and a half, he's going to be three in June.
Okay. So what happens is like, after they turn three, because my guy, three years, almost four,
and then I got the six year old, they really like, there's an age where you can give him
anything. You're like, this is a sticker. And they're like, yeah, they don't know. But once
they start to like get their preferences down, like I'll come home. One time I bought my little
one likes cars and the older one doesn't. So, but I bought two toy cars. And the other guy goes,
I don't like cars. He likes cars. And he just threw it on the ground. And I was like, Oh,
he's like, where's shit that I like? I don't know, man. But Cinnabon. Cinnabon. Yeah. That's
a depressing thing though to do. And I've done it as someone who likes to eat, but like getting
food when you land in the airport. And you're like going to a hotel and you're like, I'm just
going to pick up some McDonald's while I'm leaving the airport. That's a rock bottom move.
It feels depressed. I mean, last week, I did Vegas and landed in Austin drunk. And I was like,
Hey, man, like we got to get food. Like we have to. So I go to Starbucks and you start
buying like breakfast sandwiches, multiples. They're like, how many people are it? I'm like,
it's just me. I just need, I need multiple sandwiches right now.
You ever get that like the sad cold container where it's got like a hard boiled egg that's
been sliced in half and then maybe grapes. Yeah, three. Yeah. It's got the grapes in there all
the time. Maybe a slice of cheese. I think it's called a protein box. Yeah. Protein box. It's
just like the worst shit that doesn't go with anything else. Yeah, it smells. It really smells.
They should call it the fucking stink box because you open it and it's just like,
it smells like eggs and cheese. Yeah, but that's, it's very, very exciting to go on a tour. But I
feel like what you're doing right now, is it even a tour? I think it's just like you are constantly
just doing shows. Yeah, you know what? This is what happened. My agent's here and he's probably
watching in the green room. This motherfucker, he called me during the pandemic, right? So you're
at home. I'm used to being a comic that tours regularly, like meaning like every couple weeks,
you know, you're doing gigs and you're home, right? You're home that first month and that second
month and then it turns into like, there's no tour. Remember touring shut down, right? So it's
like a few months in and he's like, I think we should get ahead and start locking down dates
for when things open up and you're like, yeah, yeah. So you're sitting at home and they're like,
how about this offer? Because that's the way it comes. You get an offer, right? You want to do
the beacon and you want to do the Hulu and you're like, yeah. And they're like, how about the next
day, new work? You're like, yes. And how about, and they, and you're sitting at home. So everything
that comes in, instead of like thinking rationally, you go like, yeah, dude, I'm not working. Right.
Like book it all. Right. It's all theoretical. And then this is how you end up with a two-year
tour. And then all of a sudden you show up to August and you're like, wait, what's going on?
And they're like, you're about to do 400 shows. Oh my God. So how does that work in terms of the
material? Do you have to change things up a lot? Or is it like, okay, you're going to do the same
material for, you know, this month, then you'll go home, write a little bit, come out, do something
different. No, it happens a little, like it doesn't happen as calculated. So at first you're building
it and then you're doing it. And then you start to feel like, all right, like I have it set. But
then you, as the person performing it, get bored because you get bored of the jokes. Telling the
same story. And just like, organically, you'll start to drop. You'll like, you'll drop one night,
someone will be like, hey, you didn't do that bit. And you're like, yeah, I'm just not. And then
you'll automatically replace it with something new. So like, if you see the show tonight and then
you see it in six months, you'll be like, you dropped this, this, and this. And then you added
this. And it just happens throughout the course of a tour. Can you tell almost instantly if it's
a good crowd or not? Like, okay, this is going to be a great night because the crowd is giving me
energy? Sometimes. It's not a foolproof thing. Sometimes a crowd is so hot, it's almost overwhelming
at the top of a show that like, they, they've burned themselves out with their, like the
high, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, they're so excited that you're like, this is amazing.
And then it just like, there's this slow wind down and you're like, hey, I thought we were,
thought we were good with each other. Yeah, I thought we were having an awesome night. And then
sometimes you start slow and it goes, but I think there's this thing where if you say something
when you open a show, like out of the gate, you just come out and you say something off the top
of your head and it gets a laugh. It almost changes the energy of everything. If it's organic,
like truly off the top of your head, that almost sets you up for a great show every time.
Wow. I never like, so, so do you try to do that every time? Like, it's not a, it's not a plan
joke. It's just, this is what it is. It's, yeah, it's like, Jeff Tate calls it riff energy, where
you just like go out there and you just say whatever. Yeah, look at this fucking guy.
Any, like, anything that's happening, like current event, like, you know, you just like say it.
Right. Like, I did this show in Topeka, Kansas a couple of weeks ago and the Westboro Baptist
Church was there, the people that protest, you know. Yeah. And so talking about them, they're,
they're just outside. The audience saw them and, and they're also like kind of national.
Everyone kind of knows about them. Yeah. So you talk about, I talked about them for like a couple
minutes. It's just like, it was pandemonium in the room and then your show is just like on this
ride. You know what I mean? That's a, that's a good cheat code. I feel like they fell off though,
the Westboro Baptist Church. Man, let me tell you something, man. They're coming back. They're
coming back. They are? Yeah, they're dope, dude. They're going to get through this. They're going to
get, yeah. They have a remix coming? Dude, they have their eighth member now. They're growing.
They need to like collab with somebody that's hot right now because they, they had a moment there.
I'd say like 2005 to 2015. Yeah. They were everywhere. I feel like that maybe the pandemic
hit them especially hard. They did. I think they needed to go like Avengers with the
circumcised people. Oh, I love those guys. The people who walk around with the red blotch in
their pants. They're like, that's the kind of energy if you get both of them. I've been mutilated.
Yeah. Right. Those type, those type of crazies put them together. They might be able to
accomplish things. Well, you know, Westboro Baptist Church protests dead soldiers funerals.
Yes. So maybe, you know, we get involved in another little scuffle. Yeah. Internationally.
Then you get pumped. They'll get their numbers up. Yeah. The circumcised guy, I got into a
debate with him one time outside the Super Bowl because he did have like the blood stain on
the stretch and he was, I realized what he was so mad about. He thinks that his own dick sucks.
Yeah. So he was protesting. He's like, my parents took away 14 separate functions and sensations
from my penis when they circumcised me. I was like, dude, just admit that you think your dick is bad.
You got a small dick. I got a small dick. I don't know if it's small. I think his dick,
he just doesn't feel his own dick. You know what? A guy like that, you need to be like,
have you ever been with someone that doesn't have a gag reflex? Because it is remarkable.
I remember this girl. It was Savannah, Georgia. It was 2002. And she let me touch the back of her
throat with my fingers. And I was like, why are we using my fingers? And like that'll really,
it'll change your life. So I have a question off of that. You do a podcast with your wife.
Yeah. She knows the story. I was going to say, is that ever, I mean, it's a hilarious concept.
I listen and it's like, it's great to watch two people who are married just be so open about
everything. Has there ever been a moment where it's like, okay, that was like after the show,
like, all right, let's not do that again. Not about, like we've had moments where we're,
like we're, you know, having an argument. But it's not because like I said something gross
or shared. She doesn't get mad about this kind of like, you know, this girl from this,
it'll just be like regular marriage stuff. Right. Where like, what was that? You know,
that kind of thing where you're like, no, what did you mean by that? And then we stopped because
we go, it's not fun to do the show with like, like, you know, like combative energy. So we'll
just stop recording, talk away. I used to know what you meant. Okay. And we do our show. But like,
as far as sharing some crazy like old sex story, I mean, I love upsetting her. Like, I feel like
it's a thrill to see her get grossed out. Right. So I always do that. And, and, you know, it works.
Like, it's just, she's the kind of wife that you can tell those stories to. Right. And she's also
a comic. So it's like, right, she knows how to roll with stuff too. It's a very cool concept. And
then obviously your other podcast with Bert was going to be a different, a different type of energy.
I mean, where he's, has there ever, has there ever been a time when you're just like, Hey dude,
like just chill out, like you're, can I talk, you mean? Do I get to talk today? Yeah, there is funny
because we've had him on twice now in the last couple of months and people are like, he's such
an awesome guest. And then like the 10th comment will be like, you guys weren't even on this show.
Oh yeah. I mean, it's funny because he is the sweetest. He, people don't know this is a sweetest
guy. Yeah. He's so fucking funny. He is really a remarkably funny dude. But like this, like,
to his stream of, he doesn't even know sometimes like how he's being, you have to, like, I'll tell
him for, like, I'll allow him to just over talk me. And it's just, for whatever reason, like,
I just, it just works. I'm like, I'm not bothered. But if there's someone else, like, and if we go
to dinner, I'd be like, you have to let them talk. I would pull them aside. He'd be like, oh,
really? Because he's so unaware of himself. Yeah. Are there places that you know, I think we said
when he was on the show that he's kind of like a gun. Like you'd like to, he's fun to play with,
but you have to be very cognizant about what environments you bring him into. Oh dude. And
who's around, are there certain places that you have said, okay, this is, this is not a Burt place.
Yeah, indoors. Like, yeah, dude, last time I took him to dinner and with Primo with DJ Premier
and a bunch of people. And Burt was already, he had tied one on already. Like, we showed up and
I was like, how much have you had to drink? And he, and then he just like starts, you know, I think
he finished like four bottles of wine to himself at dinner. And then he goes, we're just sitting
around talking, shooting the shit. And he goes, Hey, Primo. And I'm like, and he goes, I hope
this isn't offensive. And I was like, Oh my God. I'm like, what are you going to say? And he goes,
I just want to get something out before I black out. And I'm like, Oh fuck.
He's the worst fire. And I'm like, and I really, at this point, I'm like, where are you already
in? I don't know what you're about to do. And he just goes, it's just such an honor to have
dinner with you. That's what you fucking say before that. That's perfect. Yeah. Yeah. He's out
of his mind. We should ask, how are you doing physically? Physically, I'm doing well. I had
a fucking nerve transfer. It's pretty wild. They took a nerve from here, and they moved it here
from your wrist to the back of your wrist. Yeah. So you have two muscles and nerves underneath
on the underside of your forearm that allow you to pronate, right? Okay. So they, so one of them,
they figured out you don't need to do that. Huh. So they took it and they put it here where a nerve
wasn't firing. Is this because of the injury? Yeah. Holy shit. And they didn't know I needed that
when I initially had surgery. So when I initially had surgery, they put a pin and screws in my
humerus, like the upper part. And they're like, Oh, your nerve stuff will just come back. That's
the way it works. And at about seven months in, they're like, Hey, this thing's not firing, right?
And then they did a surgery on my arm where the fucking surgeon, I was like, how like,
this sounds like wild shit. And he's like, Yeah, I've never done it before. I'm like,
What the fuck? And he goes, Yeah, it's a new procedure that this Brazilian doctor discovered.
And I'm like, Okay, and I'm having it done. That's, that's wild. So you like that injury.
And everyone has seen it. Yeah. Yeah. Let me see. But the, I always think like,
I, you know, as an adult, when you get injured, it's such a different experience. Like athletes
get injured, but they know that injury is part of the game. When you're an adult, you get injured.
Yeah. No, you're gonna send me something so gross. I actually love this shit.
Oh, I love looking at like terrible injuries and horrific things. Yeah. So none of this, like,
I like, I watched your injury so many times. Oh, yeah, everybody. Oh, look at that. Oh,
my God. That's fixing the nerve. Awesome. Oh, fuck. Oh, all the way. See, I could watch this
forever. How many beers like this in puke videos are just endlessly hilarious to me.
But, uh, your injury. So when I saw it initially, and I was like, Oh my God,
the worst part about this is like, there's something about getting injured as an adult
that like the shame and regret you have right after is so like all encompassing. I just wish
I hadn't done that. There's so many like, like, there's so many little moments. Yeah. That becomes
so vivid. Like that period of time, you know how you have memories of whatever the last during
your life. Right. Some of them are like fuzzy. Some of them you're like, I remember that girl
or I remember that like that place we went. I remember that vacation. But like that time period
from getting injured to like recovery is like it happened yesterday. It's like vivid memories,
you know? Yeah. And I remember the week before I've told us before the week before I'm in
Oklahoma City and I'm doing the road and I have Josh Potter, who's a comedian friend of mine with
me. And I go, you know what we're doing? What Bert and I are doing next week to film for art.
We were filming this for our New Year's live show that we do. He's like, What are you doing?
I go, We're gonna do basketball. And we're walking from the hotel to this coffee show. I mean,
I remember like it was yesterday. And he goes, Oh, basketball. And I go, Yeah, man, because I used
to play a lot. I just play high school basketball. I used to play club basketball. I did pickup games
in college. I used to play pickup games when I got to LA. I go, Yeah, I used to play a lot of
basketball. So I'm gonna fuck them up. So that's why I picked basketball. And he goes, I don't know,
man, he goes basketball. That's how guys in their 40s get fucked up their knees or Achilles. And I
just went like, whatever, like, but I just I was like, Yeah, all right. And then we went and got
caught. I just remember it like so clearly. Yes. And then that day too, I remember, I remember
jumping in my office. One of the guys was like, I bet you can't hit the ceiling. And I jump and I
like smack the ceiling. And I landed. And I was like, That felt weird. Yes. And then I didn't
really say anything. I was like, That felt weird. And then playing, you know, just like, but we're
having fun. Right. You're having a good time. Not thinking you're doing something reckless. Or you
know, we're stupid. Yeah. And just going up for that one and it feeling like a fucking gunshot,
you know, it's wild. It's the worst feeling though, because it really is like, like I said,
getting injured as an adult, you just know like, Hey, I'm an adult. I could just live the rest
of my life just doing things where I don't get injured. Why am I doing this? Like last time I
got very injured playing basketball, I hurt my back and the same thing where it's like, it tweaked.
And I was like, Oh, I'm fine and played like an hour more pickup. And then five minutes after I
finished, I couldn't move. Yeah, that kind of shit. We're like, Why, why would you do that?
Dude? And then like, why? And you know, Bert was there. Yeah. And Bert goes like, I still remember
him going, You okay, buddy? Right? And I'm sitting with my arm facing the other way behind my back.
He goes, buddy. And I was like, call 911. I guess it's good that it got caught on camera though.
It would have been such a waste if it wasn't filmed. Telling that story, not the same without like,
I remember telling when I'm in the when I'm in the house, first I'm in the emergency room,
and then I'm in another room in the hospital when they're finally getting me ready for
surgery, surgery is going to happen in like a day or two, right? But I'm in a regular,
like my own room. This trauma surgeon comes in and he's like, so we like, how did this happen?
And I'm telling him and he's like, okay, I can see that he's like putting it to the other
end of his head. And then I go, you know, I have it on video and he goes, I'm sorry, what?
And I go, I have it on video from multiple angles. And he's like, why? And I go, well,
because we're filming for this thing, he goes, you know, I really like to see that.
He goes, I could show that to people. I go, I think he'll just get the link. I think you'll
see it everywhere. And he's like, okay. And then I showed it to him and I gave him my phone and
he goes, oh, and I go, wait, you're shrugging at that? Like, he goes, yeah, that was terrible.
I don't want to see that again. That's the worst thing I've ever seen. I mean,
you'd have to say like a net, not good for your life, but good for your career.
I mean, everyone talked about it for a while. Like it was big news on the internet. I monetized it,
like I made millions of dollars off of it. But I also, but I also was like,
people were like, yeah, but I was like, well, dude, like if you go, hey, would you
rather that not happen and give that money back? I'm like, yeah, of course.
I think it's one of those things though, where if you had asked, if somebody asked you a hypothetical
question 20 years ago, like, would you take, you know, X million dollars in exchange for breaking
two body parts on camera trying to play basketball, you would have said yes, probably then, but then
maybe, but if they were like, by the way, you'll also already be making millions of dollars. I'd
be like, oh, okay. Yeah, that's actually, I think I'll put those aside. Yeah. Yeah. So is there was,
I don't want to like make you relive it too much, but I've wondered since I saw the video,
if you disfigure two parts of your bodies at the same time, is there one that hurts more than the
other? And if so, does your brain only focus on that thing? You're 100% correct. Yes. So what
happened was I didn't even know for days that my leg hurt, because the arm pain was so substantial
and so much more. And I asked that question in the hospital. I'm like, I don't feel like my legs
injured. And they're like, you will. They're like, it's just that the arm pain, your brain picks.
It supersedes. Yeah. So I was just like, oh my God, my arm is so fucked. And it was shattered.
So I was like, God damn. And they were just giving me fucking dilotted into my neck. I was like,
give me more. It was just so amazing. I have big fan of drugs. And that shit is amazing. I mean,
that's medical heroin. And like, it makes you want to try heroin. It's so good. It's tough to poop
after though. Bro. Do you have some poop issues? Yes. Yes. And then I also, when I finally,
when they fixed my arm and my knee started to hurt, I was like, God damn that fucking hurts.
And then they put a nerve blocker in your leg. So they inject you and it kill, like it numbs
that nerve. So just like numb that pain. And yeah, I was fucking, oh my God, dude, I was having
different nurses finger me. And you know, give me suppositories. Right. One of them put like,
her whole hand in my, this little Asian chick had these little fingers. And I was like, how much
is in there? And she's like, well, I have small hands. She's like, wiggling it around in there.
But it was, it was a, and I couldn't wipe dude. Yeah. You know, because like, this was so fresh
that I was like, how will I, and one guy actually came in and gave me wipes and I had to tell him
that he was going to wipe and he was like, he was like, what? And I go, no, I can't do it. And he
was like, oh, like I saw him break. He was like, oh no. He's like part of the job. I mean, they didn't
even offer a bidet or even an attachment to put on. No, they're just like, people will help you.
It was horrible. It was really horrible. Wait, so as you said, as a big fan of drugs,
what's your favorite truck? I lauded that. That is the greatest thing I've ever experienced.
I mean, it was really, that's crazy. I remember I go, when I got to the emergency room, I was with
Bert and great guy to be with at that moment. He's, by the way, he's a germaphobe, germaphobe. And
like, he doesn't handle high stress. Well, he was just like, he was sitting there. He's like,
I don't know what I'm doing. I just know that I love you. And then they're like,
I'm in, I mean, you know, it's like trauma, right? I'm like, I don't know what's going on. And the
nurse comes in and they had given me, I don't know, fentanyl or something. And I don't feel any,
any of the effects. I mean, like so much pain. And she goes like, okay, so what would you rank
your pain level? And they have a chart on the wall. Yeah, the faces. Yeah. And they have numbers.
And I just go, nine. And then Bert goes, it's 10. Say fucking 10. And I go, oh, yeah, yes, 10.
And he goes, why wouldn't you say 10? I'm like, I don't know. You want to leave yourself spaces.
Like, you can always get worse. I wanted to be like, yeah, it'll be worse. And then they,
they try to avoid giving you dialogue. I didn't know that. So they're like,
how about this? How about that? I'm like, no, dude, it's not working. Yeah. And then they're like,
all right, we're going to bring out the bit. And then they tell you that they go, by the way,
nothing is stronger than this. This is the max we can give you. Holy fuck. And then as they give
it to you, they go, you might feel a warm rush in your chest. And it's like a countdown. It's like
three, two, and you're like, oh my God. And you feel it. And you're like, yeah, dude, this is great.
That's it. Holy fuck. I was asking for it. Like, they're like, you just took some.
We have to give you a little break. And I was like, you don't have to.

I first interacted with you online and I realized that I think it was, you love college football
like you just said on the yak. I think it was over our guy Robert Kikua may he rest in peace,
the Hawaii announcer. Do you remember him? No. He was the big guy who would announce
Hawaii games with the huge Hawaiian shirt. Okay. And it was essentially like if you knew who the guy
was, it's like you watch either gamble too much myself or you watch too much college football
and you're up at like one in the morning on a Saturday. How hardcore are you of a gambler?
I like to gamble a lot. A lot. Yes, every day. And like we're talking like you throw like major
money. Yeah. Yeah. It's my only hobby. But that's not just a, I mean, that's a rush. Yeah. I mean,
it really is like. That's like the dialogue of living. Yes. Yes. With money. I always say like
it was, when I was, I think 11 years old, I won $100 at a turtle race in Key West Florida and that
was like, all right, this was fucking awesome. And you gamble too? Yeah. I don't throw around
as much money as Big Cat does, but I bet. What's the biggest bet you've ever placed?
For me? Yeah. I don't want to say my number. Yeah. Come on. Come on, dude. What do you think people
think you're poor? The game of the year has gotten a little substantial. Yeah. It's been
a while. That's one of the game I'm down. I'm gonna have to believe that out.
Believe it out. Your reaction tells everything. That's the most I've ever done. That's a substantial
bet. It is. Wait. So do you gamble? I mean, very passively. You know, I mean, like I don't do it
online really. I go to Vegas to do shows. Sometimes I'm walking by the sports book
and you know it's a certain time of year. It's more fun for me if it's like I'm
with friends. Yeah you all bet on a game together. That's awesome. That's kind of fun but like you
know I rarely like I don't know the ins and like if you bet a lot you start
really knowing all the little details and lines and like this and push. I'm
like yeah dude I'm just like who do I think we'll win. Right. That's my level
of betting. Which probably would make you better than me. I doubt it. Yeah I mean
that's sometimes. Wait did you. That large bet did you win that. That one I
did win. You did. What did that fucking feel like. That felt awesome. I also had
to run a couple months ago where I went 10 and 0 on 10 straight days which was
sick. Of wins. Yes and that was that was very. Do you bet or do you do like you
know Blackjack and crap. I like playing Blackjack and I'm not a big crap
guy. Did you ever. Do you ever. You may have already covered this. Dana White's
run at Blackjack. No it's one of the. You haven't looked this up. No it's one of
the wildest things to look this up. Dana White is banned from almost every man. He
lives in Vegas. Right. I'm almost every major casino playing Blackjack because he
has taken them. Listen to this. He has taken them for millions. Wow. Millions. He counts
cards. He's got like a system then. He has a system and they like one of the
casinos I forget which one just like they gave him a belt and they're like you
are the champ and you are no. Never coming back. That's the nicest way to kick
someone out. Holy shit. This dude. I mean there's videos on him doing this. It's
insane. I don't know what his system is and we're talking walking out with like
hey I want a 1.3 million dollars playing Blackjack. They're like please don't come
here anymore. We've had them on a bunch. We got to bring it up. You got to bring
them up. Wait so who's your who's your college team for college football. I mean
I'm a longtime FSU fan so it's been a rough couple years. Yeah it has. I don't waver
from it. I'm just. It's been bad. It's been really really bad. It's been really bad.
You had James though. That was a fun run. That was a fun fucking run. And I went to
that game. I went to the national championship game that year. That was a thrill. And like
you know you have to accept it if you're a hard. I don't know who your your big
bachelor. Badgers. Badgers are my college. Like especially if you have a team and they
win something really big you have to accept like the cyclical nature of it. And you
know for me I actually get so fucking angry that sometimes I remove myself from
watching things. You know I mean like if if they're if all of a sudden they're like
one in four I'll be like you know what I think I probably shouldn't watch the game
this weekend because I'm not going to get any fucking fulfillment out of that. See so
I have a little bit of a different take because you know my teams don't win often. You know
the Cubs won and the Blackhawks had a nice run and obviously you go way back and like
the Bulls and stuff. But I I have found later on in life that I've enjoyed the rod. I've
been able to enjoy the ride a lot more if you get in on the bad times. Yeah like Wisconsin
basketball this year. You know I always knew they were flawed but they had a year where
they overachieved and it's like they're probably going to lose in a heartbreaking fashion in
the tournament like they did. They went one for twenty three or something on three but
it's like the ride the stops on the ride watching them every three nights that's the
fun part. Yeah I'm enjoying that. I guess it you know I come and go with it. One of
the things that happens too is because of the nature of doing stand up. I'm always working
on a Saturday. Right. So I very like you know I'll record something and if like I see the
highlight before and it's like they lost fifty six to seventeen I'll be like I don't know if I'm
going to watch this one. Jacksville State this year. Yeah that was bad. That was really bad.
It's rough. And also now you have Deion just taken which Travis Hunter that was one. Florida State
fans got really mad at me because I hopped in one of those Twitter spaces and I was like
they all they all Florida State fans are convinced that Barstool is funding Deion to buy recruits
and it's like my my response is always like if that were true like Dave would just be getting
everyone to Michigan like he would he has no allegiance to Jacksville State. That's a fun
conspiracy. Yeah so they were all so mad because I hopped in and they were like well I'm a big
fan of them and I'm a big Deion fan. I did not get mad at that. Yeah I'm like this is this is the
game we're playing right you know. And also that dude is I think he could convince a lot of people
yes to make that especially a cornerback. Yes. If you're the the number one recruit in the entire
country coming out of high school as a cornerback who else would you want to play for to get ready
for the NFL and has created this whole environment of like this is the play this fun. We're going
to we're building something here and like I mean I know we're seeing snippets of it but you watch
it as a fan you're like yeah it looks like he's building something fucking cool. Yeah that's I
mean so your career like you know I've read about like when you started out and it's got to be
similar to Deion like that do you ever look back fondly on those days when it's like I'm in this
you know comedy world. I don't know if it's going to work and like that grind of because you're
there now you know you're very very successful. You have a seven year tour going on. Yeah I mean
the memories that we talk about the most are of the shitty times. The climb yeah. Yeah that's
literally what we talk about the most. Remember doing that bar show where that guy puked and laid
in it and on the front row like you know not getting paid on a gig that you're supposed to get paid on
staying in awful fucking comedy condos like those are the things you you laugh about like the shitty
gigs that you do by the way for years right years right and then people are like oh you know
you're overnight or whatever you're like no this is a 20 year ride. Yeah no it's true because it
happens with us too like we are speaking of Florida State we you know we do a college football show
now and it's we're now at a point where like we fly in it's like thousands of students come out to
see us yeah fly right out. Yeah Dave and I always joke like we did a we did a dumb and dumber two
promo ad deal where we had to dress up in the tuxedos and we did a college football show outside
of frat at Florida State where we had to wake the dudes up at like nine in the morning it was like
20 dudes pissed off standing behind us like fuck you guys yeah and like those are the funny stories
those are like the moments that you remember not like oh this is sick now we have like I love that
you guys are like you're like banned from NFL activity oh yeah yeah oh they have they've got our
pictures our names yeah can you even go to a stadium yeah we can't we can't go to any like
NFL media event we can't go to uh like any anywhere the commissioners yeah and like a geofence
I remember just like peripherally watching didn't you have like one episode of it yes yes yeah
yes well no it was sick that's not necessary we had like one and a half we filmed we filmed the
second part of the second and how did you get like you got pulled it went well the first one yeah
it went okay yeah it was on it like two in the morning and it was after on a Tuesday I can't
remember on ESPN what is the phone call this isn't working out you're like it's aired once oh we didn't
get a phone call we got no no that's not why we got a phone call that's so the reason why
we like aren't bitter about it is it wasn't it was out of our control it was people at ESPN
basically being like we don't want to be associated with bar stool fun cool people right yeah right
people who really you know I'm sure they're doing I'm sure they're very happy with their life creative
coming up with cool shit all the time just ripping out you know someone else's dream but that was the
part where it was like at least we didn't get canceled because it sucked so I talked to uh John
Skipper who was the president of ESPN at the time the guy that fired us he and no he did not like
give us a phone call or anything like that I think you talked to him Erica we were in his
office he the two of us were in his office he's like he looked at us and was like I got your guys
back yeah that's why we talked and then we're actually filming episode two and we're in the
middle of taping so cameras are running we're in this shitty little like basement looking set
and um big cats phone rings and it's Erica and he puts on speaker and uh Erica goes hey guys I
got bad news ESPN is canceling the show and so you get to see that much like your basketball
experience yeah you saw two hearts break at the same time and we just kind of like slumped down
we're like oh fuck but I talked to Skipper uh not too long ago yeah and I asked him about the
experience and he thought that he had called me and talked to me I was like no no no that's hilarious
and he goes he goes well what happened was I had never been to barstoolsports.com the website
and so all these people came into my office saying you should see the stuff that's on their website
so he typed in barstoolsports.com looked at it and the first two blogs he saw on there one by a guy
named Jerry Thornton who writes about like teachers that get arrested because they had sex with like
their high school student and then the second one that he saw was from her good friend uncle
Chaps and it was just a picture of a pumpkin and the pumpkin looked like it had a butthole
where the stem was yeah and he goes do you think this pumpkin wants the pipe yeah and so he was
like so I saw like a guy I wanted to have sex with a pumpkin and then some teacher had sex with a
student and I was like I can't be in business with this yeah so that's but that's that's on him
though because of course it's on him it's like if we had gotten fired after five shows that's
probably because our show right this is like somebody one that's looking up who they're going
to bought tickets to go see you know that's go look at that and we were we were very naive at the
time and the lesson we learned I wonder if this has ever happened to you in your career like in
terms of uh whether it be like a show or something to try to convince you we spent so long trying to
get ESPN comfortable with us we should have realized like now I have the radar up where if someone
says they want to do something with us and they're like well I got to just check with this person
like nope I'm out because I like I know if you're not all in right away from day one it's there's
going to be a moment where you're like I don't think this is right what's happened is that you do
you've you've stayed like doing the things that you want to do and you're not trying to you're
pleasing yourselves right by doing the show you want to do and and it's successful and what that
buys you is the ability to be like no if you don't want to fuck with me on this I'm fine and I love
it because it definitely like I feel like comedy recently in the last whatever three four five years
and you especially because you've had your podcast for a very long time like it's got to be freeing
knowing that you are now at a point where and I hate using the word cancel but fans of comedians
can find their comedians they don't have to like there's nothing behind it there they can just give
you you can give your fans what they want without having someone like putting an ax over your head
yeah I don't I don't like answer to anybody it's awesome I mean like I I tour so I own my tour
I own a podcast network that has a number of podcasts we're announcing another one next week
watch do right now it's so good too wait when it went when next week for real uh next week um
where are we it's it's yeah in April yeah so wait so just we're not gonna run this till Friday next
Friday next Friday yeah so just announce it okay uh good good publicity that's true so we signed
Danny Brown Danny Brown is a rapper and a super hilarious dude's like one of the best guests
this is whenever our younger uh producers nod I'm like this is good yeah you did good because
I'm like a 37 year old dad I'm like I don't know but he's he's nodding so he's right to my public
let's just run this tomorrow yeah on tomorrow's show but Bruiser Brigade man he's so fucking
he's like one of the funniest dudes I've we've ever had on and like he's got a great fan base
and he moved to Austin and we were shooting the shit and he was like I'd do a podcast if you
produce it and I was like done so how many people do you have working for you now um it's probably
equal to parcels a couple hundred no it's um you know we have our studio it's like um staff wise
I think we're close to like 10 staff there that's I mean that is like it's our own thing you know
it's like you're you're living the dream in that respect we just put the shows out we want to put
out and it's great I wanted to tell you this because of your skipper story is that when the
pandemic struck is the first time um we try we we realize you know there's no touring so we're
like what are we gonna do and so we did a live show I don't know if you ever saw that we did
these things called it called YMA's live and what it was was a show that we could put together
uncensored and that we would also shoot sketches so basically try to raise the value of a it can't
be like hey we're just doing our podcast but make it worth a ticket price so we were like all right
we'll do a $10 ticket it's like a really accessible price and then we'll show these sketches
that we shoot and then we'll show things that we can't show on our youtube show meaning like
uncensored and then we'll do a segment called the heavy segment which will be like wild shit
like really crazy deep dark internet shit we don't know what's gonna happen and it's just an
experiment like when you just try let's see if this works so we do it on a friday tickets go on sale
and as the show's starting I get a message from the guy like the web master guy he's like
this is selling insane right now and I'm like really and it's like like thousands of tickets
and I'm like wow so we do our show and then it stays on sale because if you don't catch it live you
can watch it afterwards and he's calling me like monday he's like dude it's like this is bananas
and then he calls me he goes hey the platform that I found to air this just took it down and I go
why I thought you said it was selling like crazy he goes yeah they told me 24 hours ago that it
broken their the record for their site and I'm like so what's the problem he goes dude
there are multiple investors um that like you know like that support the site and one of them
is the nfl and the ceo of this thing is terrified that roger gedel is going to find out that the
thing that is selling well is two guys getting fisted by a guy and having their prolapse anuses
fall out and I go you don't know if he likes it yeah and they're like they're like he's not gonna
like it so they we just what we did we're they took it down we couldn't put it back up and then
we found another platform that would host it and they're like we don't give a fuck what you put on
here and that's where they lived out that's crazy they would he was scared of roger gedel yeah and
that's I mean that is how it works it's it's really there's like every time we talk to people
you'll have allies in different companies and the in the normal people will be like this is awesome
this is funny you guys make jokes and then they'll be like someone's sitting in a boardroom somewhere
where it's like I don't find this funny yeah and that's it and they can make it just wild to that
that's the guy like that's what you find out to in comedy like you do you pitch a show to a network
and it's just fucking sally and jim who are like we don't like it yeah who are what do you do yeah
and they're not comedy or did you write do you write comedy yeah have you ever performed oh you
you just get to decide they personally don't like it yeah so they're like this is yeah yeah they get
like 10 tweets and they're like yeah we're getting blowback we don't want to deal with it what yeah
and I feel like some of the people should wear you know different colored jackets and you're like
what you know like they're just deciding things like their own personal taste it's crazy it's crazy
but I I mean that's awesome but you have I mean you're very very successful but you guys are like
the you know the inspiration like you guys are the example of it of like guys who just did sports
the way they want that wasn't like the and we'll be back in three right and and with like the same
takes you know what diverse you have to be able to deal with different struggles during the season
and these guys if you fumble you're not going to win this game like what the fuck are we watching
like you know what's helped us a lot is that um sports have gotten a lot smarter like people
know a lot more analytics everything but at the end of the day like the reason why it works for us
is that we are inner meatballs like if yeah if I'm like thinking like okay yeah you should be a guy
in a baseball game if you want to send a message like that's or like you should get in a fight and
hockey if you want to rally your team like those things that are now becoming like those aren't
numbers like that doesn't help the team it's like there's stupid things that we think we're like
yeah run the ball run the ball and you'll win play defense it's like no that's proven not to be
correct but right it is in our mind yeah and it's like you're talking the way that honestly a lot of
guys who watch sports want to hear somebody speak you know it's like what it's like the why we all
get so excited about an athlete who doesn't give like those you know soundbite answers yeah like
we just hope that um you know if we play as a team we'll win you're like Jesus Christ like
you want the fucking psycho who's saying wild shit because you're like this is entertainment
just make it fucking entertaining man yeah I truly believe that every NFL team should have at least
two fullbacks on the roster even though there's nothing there's nothing that you can quantify
to say this works but I also am barely smart enough to realize that I'm dumb for thinking
that NFL teams should run the ball with their fullback more often yeah so we can make fun of
ourselves for being like big cat said meatballs for time to time and then people it doesn't matter
if you like you agree with our inner meatball or if you agree with that voice in the back of
our heads that's telling our inner meatball to shut up like there's something for everybody a
little bit but at least we're honest with people yeah of course and then and that big key is that
you're honest with your take and then we do this too it's like you know I might say the most
inflammatory wild reckless shit and then you go hey I'm open season to it you can make fun of the
way I look the way I speak the fucking things I do like you just make fun of me fucking breaking
my leg and I'm trying to jump yeah I don't care yeah no the whole world did yeah they did so what
I noticed reading about you earlier today is that um you have a connection with a player that we've
talked about on this show since like 2016 oh yeah Cassius Marsh yeah so Cassius Marsh
you may remember him if you're not familiar he's the guy that did the karate celebrations and he
bought or he had $50,000 worth of magic the gathering trading cards stolen out of his car
back in like 2016 so he bought your house he bought a house that I owned yeah yeah did you did you
get to meet him at all yeah we did a podcast together what's he like awesome absolutely
fantastic dude I so at first this is funny I'm in LA you know in LA it's kind of I guess like New
York where you can get a call like you know who's buying your house it's fucking just one of those
cities right yeah so at first my um realtor calls me she goes hey um I think an NFL person might
buy your house and I go who she goes oh I don't know I'm like this is not a good call get me the
fucking give me the name yeah and and then she calls me back she goes do you know uh I think
his name is Joe Namath I'm like yeah I know Joe Namath I go he's buying my fucking house
and she goes no his daughter but uh she um she might buy the house and I'm like all right
and I go that's fucking cool I'm showing up to that fucking closing yeah um and then she
called me back she goes oh she fell out and then she calls me and she goes um another NFL player
might buy your house I'm like are you only showing this to NFL players she goes no and then she
tells me Cassius and we actually started to just DM and like I was telling him like if you need this
for the house like tell him stuff about the house yeah and then he you know he would like message me
about some comedy stuff and about football and then the reason that my that studio which is an LA
where it was where where it is is because of a proximity to the house he bought so one day I
was just like hey man do you want a podcast so he came over great podcast I actually didn't realize
I read a blurb like a buy like a wiki thing I see like something magic so when I had him on I was
like so you're a big fan of magic and he was like what and I go you love magic he was like magic
the gathering I'm like it's like so do you do shit like magic shows and shit and he was like
are you fucking with me right now and I was like are you fucking with me he was like no magic the
gathering and I was like abracadabra I don't know what you are you gonna do a trick or something
he was like do you not know what I'm talking about I was like no I don't he had the most expensive
collection or one of the most expensive collections in the United States I think he he is so deep into
like trading cards memorabilia magic the gathering NFT like he knows that and he is actually doing
so incredibly well in that because he has a business like he actually has a place that like
specializes in this he told me and this is on a podcast that's why I don't feel weird saying it
he goes I will make more from all that stuff than my NFL stuff like not even close like this for in
the season good for him um all right so you got to go uh this has been awesome rowback question
last question okay uh we we have rowback gear if you want to if you want any free stuff okay I don't
know if you like free stuff uh rhoback.com use code take for 20% off your first purchase rowback
q zips and hoodies yeah whatever you guys want wait so what's your last last question what what
is your NFL team all right just hear me out okay I was born in Cincinnati okay I left when I was
nine okay it was the year they went to the Super Bowl and lost to 49ers 88 which which yeah 88
twice and yeah now three times um so left we went to Minneapolis fucking nine-year-old kid this
is like the war you're gonna you're just doing a tour of the worst franchise I swear before holy
I'm going to fucking Vikings games okay two years later we moved to Milwaukee Packers are playing
half their season season at Milwaukee County Stadium two years three years later we leave
there we moved to Varrow Beach Florida two hours north of Miami start going to fucking Dolphins games
the answer is whichever one of them is doing okay I'll do I'll be like so it's Packers yeah so
wait were you Packer this year were you Packers fan or Bengels fan oh no Bengels yeah okay yeah
all right good yeah and actually like you know they've been depressing to be a fan of for a long
time yeah but it's fun it is rad to see them actually it's very cool yeah that is funny though
like if you hadn't mixed in the Packers area it would have just been like so your team's just
awesome it's just all me dude yeah wherever I go they're like we're gonna suck for you we had a we
had a question on our show the other day of a couple that had a kid and one of them's a Lions fan
one's a Browns fan and they're like who do we rate what do we raise this child and we came to
conclusion like I think you just raise them both the Lions and Browns fan because if you say that
to someone they're not going to be like oh you can't root for two teams they're just gonna be like
oh I'm sorry yeah I maybe pick a different sport yeah maybe I would do with that family yeah okay

friends over at Chevy it's almost draft day and everybody's got an idea of what their team needs
and if you're looking to give your own team a winning season you need the new 2022 Chevy Silverado
from the popular LT model all the way up to the top of the line high country these new 2022 Chevy
Silverados have a redesigned interior it gives a cabin a spacious and more premium feel available
in 13.4 inch diagonal touchscreen that's a big screen that they got in there you feel like you're
riding in a spaceship it's got a great great interior and it looks tough it looks strong on
the outside we love Chevy Chevy is the official truck of part of my take it's also the official
truck of the low man trophy and the fullbacks everywhere strap on the cleats get off-road
and Chevy's most capable off-road pickup it's the first ever Silverado ZR2 it's got next level
off-road capability right from the factory it's got front and rear electronic locking
differentials that ensure max power goes to all the wheels Silverado is as strong and as dependable
as the people who drive them my buddy bought a Silverado got to check it out last summer got to
check out again when I was back in DC back in December it is awesome it is as advertised it's
a pleasure to drive awesome to look at very fun to hang out in the official truck of tailgating
as well put some muscle on your team and make your story a strong one in the new 2022 Chevy Silverado
and now here's Pete Holmes okay we now welcome on recurring guests oh Pete Holmes hi it's been a
long time yes it's been in the catchphrase pardon it's been what mug into the gram yeah get right
into we say it to start every show we say pardon pardon pardon me everybody but we're back with
a long time we're recurring guests yeah 2018 anything happened in between those years
you know quite a bit there was a there was a national actually sort of a global thing happening
we were just saying off mic I just got the coco maloco yeah you you were I've had it three times
I think you have not yeah two documented in the third yeah you can't get it three oh yeah you can
listen you kind of collect them all it's like Pokemon I got it I got it twice in about a three
week period which is crazy to the point where I got an email from like someone at the CDC being
like hey we'd like to talk to you yeah figure out if this is possible yes because I'm living like
I'm in the 90 day invincible period yeah but by the way everyone in New York is also living as if
they're in the 90 day well you're also like fervently anti-vaxxer and yeah well I'm anti
everything I believe we let it's a flat earth we landed on the moon yeah right that sort of stuff
but no I got the vax the vaccination and it was very mild that's good if my COVID was a salsa it
would have been pico de gallo okay so yeah you're not even it's just there yeah it was just yeah
it's just there you're not really going to dip into it but it looks pretty on the table right you
maybe like do one with a chip and if the chip the chip breaks yeah yeah you need a spoon I didn't
pico with a spoon yeah but uh yeah we just wanted to do something as a family to get COVID yeah
that's nice we all got it together yeah but we never had a fever you know I do have some people
in my circle that are like anti all that stuff and I don't this may be silly to say but I was like
hesitant to tell them how mild it was because they're gonna be like see told you see told you like
fuck yeah yeah and they're like can you get back straight yeah it's just cold yeah damn it where did
it be crazy I was actually thinking this the other day wouldn't be crazy if literally everything
that Alex Jones has said for the last like eight years ended up being exactly perfect well that was
the plot is a reptile yeah exactly remember Tommy Lee picks up the the tabloids and he's like
these are the only realness yes like that would be hilarious if we're just like well that's egg on
my face that's the world we're living in yeah turns out the the Illuminati Anunnaki's uh they're
here uh which of you are either of you a lizard a shapeshifting lizard I just want to know who
I'm talking about Billy is oh I knew it I know what he is for sure lizard oh he just did a don't do
that he'll be a youtube video and we'll play it in slow motion he's definitely he's definitely
sexually attracted to them wait this way and then he blinked this way speaking of men in black
were you were you one of those comedians that was like uh Will Smith could have killed Chris Rock
and this is am I Judd actually came in the next day I know we made fun of him I saw Judd last
night he's he's one of he's the best I uh I you know what I actually think is the funniest thing
about it is how comedians make it about themselves that's what we do and we're like I'm gonna be
slapped now yeah this friendly crest toothpaste motherfucker he's gonna be up there getting slapped
like it's it doesn't seem to be the issue you're right this is starting an epidemic I can smell
coming I'm I'm next yeah exactly I mean Will Smith wasn't at a comedy show first of all yeah I tend
to I don't I don't perform at the Oscars right this is why I was funny like guys work in the
circuit work in the funny bones are like am I gonna get attacked yeah right no no in fact
I'm I'm an optimistic I'm kind of like I think you're less likely because we've seen
how like absurd it looks yeah absurd yeah absurd's a good word but it was so sad yeah you know what
you mean it's not like a movie if that wasn't a movie like violence in movies we're like yeah
and then you see real like even though it's you know it's a slap it's not like in hardcore but
it's mild violence it's violence and we're all just kind of like I feel sad yeah like what was that
like it wasn't it wasn't cool right right I do think it's weird though how Hollywood is like
there's all these things that come out in the news like in Variety saying that Will Smith is
losing jobs and that no producers will touch him right now is that true yeah to me that makes no
sense I feel like now would be the time to get Will Smith everyone's talking about him I don't
know like you think that he's going to flip out on set or something like that no news good news
I think I think it's like a like the safest time to fly is after playing crash right I was just
gonna say yeah and so like if you want Will Smith to not slap somebody now is the time that you
bring Will Smith around imagine if he slapped another person that I almost told that he does
yeah I kind of hope he does too because then it'd be like his thing like what are you gonna like
you can't if he slaps I think if he slaps one more person it's probably like oh this is a
troubling issue but if he goes and slaps like five people you're like I think he's in control
he knows what he's doing and then you can't get mad at him going forward if he slaps you because
it's like you knew he was a slapper right like he knew he was a slapper yeah like you can't be like
oh how could you slap it's like no dude that's what he does yeah he slaps you knew yeah you knew
you signed up for it if you've ever had like a troubled animal and you're like oh my god he never
bites this is crazy I can't believe that he did that and then like three or four more and then you
got the vest on him yeah and then you got the muzzle yeah I actually had a dog that kept slapping me
yeah um we I did a bad job of intro you because you have a new show yeah I do have a new show
that's what I'm here to promote how we roll which is so I always say this it was my favorite job
and to work on it's been so fun I missed my cast I missed the crew so we're promoting the hell out
of it one because it's a great and funny show but two I really just want to see those I want to see
those people again yeah so please watch how we roll CBS 930 when does this air on Thursdays I think
maybe tomorrow okay so watch it on streaming who and then it's on paramount plus paramount plus
I believe the CBS have an app Kate we don't yeah CBS paramount plus paramount plus I went with the
mountain I just downloaded paramount plus I also watch Paw Patrol so that's I also have a child
and Paw Patrol is the worst here's a pro tip Paw Patrol the movie not as bad as the show
is the show is mind-numbing put on the put on the movie because it is Paw Patrol did they did a little
bit better Paw Patrol wasn't that like it was part of stuff because it was pro police well there's one
cop and then there's also like a firefighter and a dump truck dog chase yeah chase yeah I don't I
haven't learned there's one cop to dance we know the name it's actually it's actually very funny
because they all have these jobs and then there's just a bulldog who just drives a dump truck that's
right yeah I think we're saying that like in order to counterbalance that there should be like a left
wing dog on the program like anti-paw yeah and he's going out there like attacking yeah yeah
bricks of people yeah you put anti-paw together yeah yeah um well I think we talked about it like
three years ago I think it's one of those things like you ever have something that you said like a
while ago that just stored in the back of your brain yeah and then all of a sudden like somebody
touches it three years I'll go anti-paw and I'll think I came up with yeah no it's how it works
that's how comedy works no I won't even know that's what I mean it'll just come out so so the show
how we roll my my first question when I saw the um the you know little video that I watched today
it's a guy who basically says you know what I'm quitting everything his family pushes him to start
bowling as a profession yes and actually that's a good first of all it's based on the real life
story of Tom Smallwood who's a real bowler okay that's a little bit of a spoiler okay I'm playing
Tom Smallwood we know in reality Tom Smallwood is a professional bowler right so do you do you
bowl would or was it one of those situations we're like I'm a huge athlete yeah we're like
Wesley Snipes had to learn how to play basketball Wesley Snipes had to learn how to be a daywalker
yes yes and eat drank blood right a lot of people not a lot of people talking about that
look at instagram yeah Billy's looking up right now but do you bowl your face was shocked I bowled
because I'm from Boston a candle pin okay remember candle pin is like a hard tiny one yeah the hard
yeah it's for it's it's more of a kid sport perfect for birthday parties but then when I got out to
California I did start doing more of the ten pin didn't know that's what it was called ten pin you
want to sound cool it's the ten pin so you did have a little bit of bowling and then Robert Smith not
from the cure Robert Smith in the cure did come by set once but we just gently wept for a little
bit Robert Smith the professional bowler came by and he taught me how to bowl he was the second
guy we had the first guy we had on set I forget his name but he was a professional bowler too
this was for the pilot he was like just bowl just show me how to like how you bowl I was like okay I
don't want you know stick your foot out kind of finish I try it this is in front of everybody
he's like 50 background people all the cast is there I do it and he goes not at all I was like
aren't you supposed to like you lead with encouragement yeah right okay that's where we're
starting he would just like made fun of me and that was all the time we had that was the first
lesson luckily we reshot the pilot and in between that and the and then and the series being picked
up I had more proper lessons and it's interesting like it's little things it's like here I'll give
you a tip because you can see me I'm used to doing this on radio but like you might bowl like this
right you got your fingers in here and you hold it like this he's like just do that yeah just that
to spin and it's more to let the weight of the ball so instead of like moving your arm to throw it
back let the the ball is heavy right it's like a 10-pound ball let the ball do that while you're
walking for little Fred Flintstone for little steps and then it comes out and you start throwing
strikes I'm not saying it's easy it's not easy I had a pro literally giving me like bonsai tree
micro adjustments but then I would throw I think I threw four in a row whoa which was really cool
but thank you for that I do want to concede and say if you're in a rhythm it's way easier right
it's just like basketball in the same way that like bowlers have to throw twice then they sit
right and that slows you down you can't just get into that muscle memory right right right but yeah
yeah that's I the I assume a lot of people had that exact same thought when they see the show and
they're like wait did you learn how to like because bowling is one of those things if you could be good
at bowling yeah it's kind of like golf like if you're good at it it's a lot of fun if you suck it's
the worst yeah no and you have to you have to stay interested yeah that was always my problem
everybody's starting bowling is like I'm gonna really do it I'm gonna bowl a perfect game I'm
gonna go for it and then like five frames in your little you're a little drunk you're a little bored
your hands are greasy and like you give up yeah it's all about sticking with that's the problem
for me is when I go bowling if I if I get through like five frames and I haven't had a beer yet I
just get bored and I'm like I think I need to drink the the lightest yellow color beer you have
in the in the most plastic pitcher that you sell yeah and they can do that it's like it's like on
the Simpsons he's like go to first base check a beer go to second base check a beer yeah we know
how to play softball what's the best game of bowling that you've ever rolled you know since I've
had the lessons I haven't played because of the Coco Maloco we were gonna have our rap party at
pins this bowling alley in the valley and none of it happened our rap party was me and Katie Lowes
who plays my wife like watching the show sadly alone with our families but that and then we
got it anyway yeah yeah but you mentioned something that I that I think is important about the show
is it's like crashing the show I did before this was about like it was very lone wolf right it was
Pete I want to be a comedian I'm alone I have no friends but I'm gonna make it and and honestly
that's a little bit what it's like being a comedian yeah it's a little bit like being a pirate like
you're just like I'll go steal the booty like raps but this is about a family and friends together
so it's like a really great for me post quarantine show the show the script came through while we
were in quarantine I was like this is what we need I feel like so many people during quarantine were
like even if you had a great job like you guys I'm sure we're like wait what would I change right
you know I mean you had that almost monastic period just washing a dish look at Instagram right now
he's just kind of thinking about his yeah Billy bought a barn yeah no he's he actually is similar
to a monk he he bought his own yeah barn he lived in a barn he collected animals he drank nothing
but beer this is what you did during the quarantine those his dad's barn but yeah okay well see this
is my point Billy went his own way yeah he's very similar he's very spiritual but even like I'm
my dreams came true but you know I'm a comedian that was always my dream and still during the
quarantine I was like what would I tweak what would I change and so many people in this time
came out with a dream that they were like I'm gonna follow it like fuck it we all we all die
someday I'm gonna go for it and this story isn't just about somebody going for a dream it's about
what happens when family and friends support it his wife isn't like get a job like that was the
first thing I looked for and she's actually as you said she's the one that pushes them and that I
just feel like kind of in a Ted lasso way yeah like you want something to root for you want a group
of people point it in the same direction there's some salty jokes it's got some edge but at the same
time it's like a friendly optimistic show so you mentioned crashing and I I loved the show um I was
sad that it didn't get renewed for what a third season what yeah uh I know but I so do you hear this
the the thing I'm wondering is put on hi it's on hey it's coming back the thing I'm wondering is
it wasn't picked up for the fourth season fourth season no it's all good how do you ever like
did you love my ego just there like I couldn't let that go oh no I'm sorry yeah they're worth
you had like you've had like four or five different shows that you've created get picked up but like
yeah you're very very accomplished but do you ever do you ever like dream about or daydream
about like where the character was going to go first of all that's for I'm touched that you
still remember it still like it all that stuff and what a generous question I this is gonna
sound like bullshit pardon this is gonna sound like bullshit but if we had done a fourth season
because we got it was on the wind right that we weren't gonna come back like HBO was always cool
they weren't like I don't know but we just had the sense that things were wrapping up and so that's
why it ends so tight like we were like let's let's get these people together let's get like that
but if we had done a fourth and we were working on it uh Pete would have started to become successful
right and the show was called crashing it was it's supposed to be about those to me I wanted to
make a show that was about what it's really like to be a comedian and what it's really like to be a
comedian especially for the first 10 15 years is these micro achievements it's these little things
it's like oh I'm accepted at this club that's where crashing ends he's accepted it at the comedy
seller that's a huge deal so when we started thinking about the fourth season we looked at
my career and we were like well maybe he does Conan and maybe Conan is like give this kid a talk show
as soon as you do that it's not crash yeah what about what about uh Pete gets a podcast and then
the company that paid all this money for his podcast starts deleting a lot of the episodes
did that would be cool wait what is that Joe Rogan you mean just Spotify yes Spotify yeah that'd be
cool so wow I I struggled like he gets cancelled that would be great if in season four you get
you get so big that then you get cancelled the other way I think yes those are big stories
we were always dealing with those little little stories and I'm proud of that yeah I know that
sounds cheesy but I'm proud that it was like as soon as he has a podcast or he's canceled or he has a
talk show now you're watching entourage and I like entourage but like crashing was always
now I'm really gonna sound up my own ass but it's about how what you want is on the other side of
something you don't want right like that and I think the reason I like saying that is because I
feel that that's true in reality and I'm not shoehorning this in that's what Tom Smallwood did
he got laid off on crashing I got divorced but on how we roll my character gets laid off and that
thematically is true I don't just mean for TV I mean for our lives like we had that some of us
had that for the quarantine like I'm saying you reevaluated in some way I in real life had that
with the divorce I've had that through all sorts of it's why would you ever make a change in your
life if it's working right that's just not how human animals are as animals as a species if it's
working keep look to our parents I'm assuming for other examples of this you see old people you get
those grooves in your brain nice and deep yeah you think the same things you say the same things
this is why 80 year old 90 year old they're always saying like inappropriate shit it's because that's
their stuff right and it works right what do you mean I say they've been running the same material
for years the same the same the same so you want to be fresh water you want to keep it moving like
a river right but here's the thing we can say that but I feel myself atrophying all the time as a dad
my life is so much less about me so that's why we make dad jokes is because we're not even thinking
about how to keep ourselves fresh we're giving our lives to our children that being said whenever
shit is disrupted shit like I'm a bad boy whenever shit yeah bleep it bleep it please
I mean like take crash and getting cancelled like these things that you don't want
shift you around yeah shake up the bottle and that's who and that's what you want you want your
bottle shake yeah so you can continue to grow continue to change yeah and that's what how we
roll is about I think at its core well in crashing you kind of alluded to this if he had gotten the
the big talk show at the end I what I always liked about the show is that it was very high
stakes about very small events in this person's life so it's like step by step trying to break
through to the next step like get a couple laughs at an open mic night or like go on the road
and have a successful event that you put out and if you if it becomes something big then the show is
totally different it would be very funny I'm curious to know your take on this like as a comedy
writer is it possible to make a show like that or like Ted Lasso where the main character is
you're rooting for him the entire time yeah generally good guy that that's easy to get behind
is it possible to have like a finale to that show where it does take like a big dark turn like maybe
your character in crashing had been plagiarizing the entire time and hadn't written any of those
jokes or in like Ted Lasso maybe Ted Lasso is like a serial killer like you know like it switches
up entirely the vibe with is it fun is it possible to pull something like that off
and make it funny without completely pissing off your audience really interesting question
I think the answer to that question really depends on what's going on in the world
like the art that the culture makes is a reflection often unconsciously of what's going on in the
culture my example is like remember the game cards against humanity I really like that game it's fun
but it got less fun as the world got more cards against humanity right you know what I mean right
this is an exaggeration but cards against humanity will be like what's your least favorite race
and you're just like yeah this shit's too real like it's not funny anymore to talk that way when
the world is like collapsing in so many regards so I don't think now is the time for Ted Lasso to
be a serial killer you know what I'm saying right yeah TV shows are like the dreams we're all having
together and and dreams are often things that you want like aspirational like it's like what if
there was a soccer team a football team that was rooting for each other that was under dogs like
we want we want Rudy right now we don't like my joke was like before the pandemic all the TV
I was watching was was pretty dark right like I was watching I love Breaking Bad I'm not putting down
Breaking Bad I'm just saying like when I go home after the end of like a pretty the country being
tense in so many different ways I'm not like let's watch a pot boiler right now yeah I'm
like what I watched during the pandemic was uh Frazier you know what I'm saying yeah no you're
right the office I would just rip through the office yeah we watched the whole thing in the
office yeah I watched the whole thing of Frazier we watched the whole thing of Raymond and it was
so funny here I was going back to multi-cam comedy and that's when they offered to do a multi-cam
comedy came in and I literally was like these things have a place especially in America it's
such an American thing my whole life I didn't know what I had like a kitschy nostalgia for
and I'm always worried this is going to sound like I'm just towing the company line and trying to push
my show but I really mean this I didn't know it was multi-cam comedies sometimes like millennian
crawl they'd be talking about like mash or Alan Alder just in general they had this like
like really deep appreciation or Conan always talking about the original Batman series with
Adam West and I was like I just don't have that Billy I just don't have it I don't know what my
thing is right like that I have like an like a like an exaggerated love for it turns out
it's a kitchen with a swinging door the beers say light beer on them and they have water in them
they add that later and and and talking to my tv wife who's acting like Katie Lowe's did a great
new interpretation of it but like we're still in a ceilingless building with the lights in the audience
and I was like oh my god this is what I thought show business was when I was 13 big comfy couch
you're the stairs right behind the couch you have the stairs I don't even know yes I was just going
to say when I saw our set I was like they did it I'm home I'm home yeah you're searching for Al Bundy
you're facing the cameras and that's where the tv is yeah and the tv's flown out so it's it's assumed
to be there the stairs are right behind I got my little son running up the stairs he stops on his
mark and says something yeah it goes up to his room we all know it is comforting all those yeah the
whole time this is why I'm like really promoting it I just I really want people to love the show
and I really love making it I want to be back I have like this second house now like this other
little house it's a fake house sitting in a car like a pretend car that doesn't run and just like
somebody's literally going like this to make it bounce up and down I'm like this is so much closer
to a talent show at a summer camp than it is uh like a movie and I mean that in the best way
possible and it it turns out that's all I wanted yeah you guys must feel that you come here and
especially as a dad you dump out all of your look at me all of your specialness you get to
shine and shimmer and then the rest of your time you can do whatever you want but this is your home
base yeah like you must have I hope you do and I hope you're appreciating it like the fondness
for these guys for this these walls yeah it's ours yeah your little clubhouse yes your little tree
house absolutely with crashing we didn't look I'm not putting down crashing I loved it but we'd get
up at 4 a.m. and drive to Long Island to shoot one scene right there's no home base there's nothing
that you come back to yeah that's interesting this is like we all I parked next to Katie get out of
the cars it's a good morning Katie yeah let's go over here do you ever do you ever run into somebody
that's like oh you're a comedian I don't I don't like comedy I'm not a fan of jokes like someone
that that hates to laugh do those people exist I was just talking to Aaron who did uh my hair and
makeup as you can tell this looks great we were talking about I was watching Jack Reacher did you
watch Jack Reacher no I never watched it no I really there's a series I'm familiar with the vibe of
the show yes what's up you liked it Kate liked it I really liked it too I just like impervious
men who are never wrong that is the guy fantasy it's Sherlock Holmes was the same thing it's like
I noticed you're wearing a hat with a W on it and I'm always right yep we did a sketch about that on
the Pete Holmes show making fun of Sherlock Holmes where it's like like he notices somebody he must
be an alcoholic because the base of his phone has scratches when he's looking for the to plug
his phone in it now and but in ours we had Matt McCarthy playing Watson and he's like no no it's
just those are little holes it's hard to get the plug it never happens in Jack Reacher he's always
right all right like this type of grass only grows here and it's like that's why the killer is you
it's never like no that's that's fake grass right you're wrong but but men in particular like
stuff like that but here's to go back to your point Jack Reacher doesn't dance tough guys never dance
and tough guys often don't like laughing they don't like comedy and I think both of those are
related yeah dancing is like am I cuck for me letting another man make me laugh right you nailed it
I thought you said cock we said cuck yeah like it's fellas is it gay to laugh at another man's
jokes buddy I really think something powerful subconscious is going on let's start with dancing
right you don't want to dance because that's surrender to music like you decide how you move
right and then someone's like come on music takes over to the conga and you're like yeah and you
and you you merge this is like I'm not saying I'm saying feminine energy men and women have it but
feminine feminine energy can be more merging more open right flow right so that's more okay for
women to dance and tough guys don't dance I actually think this is I would have loved it if Jack
Reacher danced if he was out there kicking ass being decisive always right and he was just like
of course like I are you fight what is wrong with this this is my jam back to laughing it's the same
thing if I'm doing comedy and there's someone in the front row with their arms crossed and they're
daring me yeah to invade them it's an alpha right there that's an it's a it's always a guy yeah it's
almost always a guy I've seen some women do it and typically women can be nightmares at comedy shows
for different reasons but typically women are maybe it's it's conditioned maybe it's a cultural
thing but they tend to be more okay with giving their the control of their consciousness I right
now this show is invading consciousness yeah our thoughts are now your thoughts right yeah right
think of it that way but like think of the lone guy like Jack Reacher is not driving around listening
to podcasts right you know what I mean he's not and he's not going to comedy shows and laughing
his ass off and and he's not dancing but I wish we could not just masculinity but for everybody
specifically because I'm a man I know that burden I'd love to see more models of like
why is it weak to laugh your ass off it's some funny shit like why is it more masculine to not
laugh and then steal that guy's joke now now you're now I'm flying the plane you know what I mean
that's like fuck off right let's enjoy each other work did we learn anything from this pandemic
no no one learned anything that is a fact that is an absolute fact like maybe in like Sweden
no but no chance that we learn anything people are just like that the everything that we said
we were going to do and you know the first over month no it's like New Year's resolution yeah
pretty much I was gonna say like oh I forgot what it'd be nicer to each other let's be nicer
okay and we're all in it together yeah yeah that we're not for about two weeks two weeks now it's
selfish yeah now we actually did learn how to hate each other more easily yes we've gotten much
better at well it is a great luxury to be able to be dismissive and judgmental of your friends and
neighbors it's great isn't it it's wonderful and now that we have it back yeah you know what's gonna
bring it back it was gonna bring back kindness is the three camera sitcom yes well okay so the home
base isn't just for me it's for everybody that's what that's what I realized watching multi cams
is you're not you're not just watching ted lasso I know that's not a multi cam but you're visiting
the locker room right and on cheers you're visiting the bar and unless we have our bowling alley
and we have tom's house tom's mom's house these are places like the human I don't mean we're dumb
in a bad way I mean let's take advantage of the fact that you see it and you kind of start to believe
it so you got to be careful with that if all you're watching is like dark shit kind of I'm not saying
don't do that I'm just saying you'll notice that you kind of start feeling a little Vincent price
you know right and when you watch shows like how we roll Thursday nights nine thirty after
you start to get some of that warmth rubs off on you and again just to restate it it's like a funny
show but it's also about people coming together my joke is it's not even a joke it's how we roll
it's not how I roll it's about a family and I feel like we need we need that right now you're
right about what you watch and how it affects you like if you watch enough you know episodes of
sopranos you're like more likely to get into like a fight over a parking spot that's right yeah
like see you know start yelling at people that scene yeah where the couple is fighting on the
street and they come out and the guy's like not a mob so he's kind of connected and you go are you
okay yeah to the girl and then he like kills the guy yeah you're like oh no yeah we're so impressionable
I'm now less likely I'm not saying I wouldn't but you you'd have a hesitancy because you'd be like
the world's fucking insane I saw it yeah right someone might kill me yeah you didn't see it yeah
you did not but you did see it right that's that's why man talk about these are the dreams we have
together when you have a dream like I've noticed if I have a sex dream I'm horny all day that's how
we are if we are kind I used to think it was stupid that would say like have a good weekend
hey have a good weekend right that's a nice sweatshirt right I mean it that's a nice sweatshirt
this shit you're trying to fuck me ah the fact that you think that I'm like a cool guy that would
try to fuck like what we say to each other really matters yes words matter they're like little spells
if I say those are cool sunglasses which they are those are cool or you seem nice you're good at your
job let's fuck yeah you guys both took it right that's what we do on this show that's what you're
trying to do no you're right no words do matter um just say you want to take your pants off
listen you guys found the ruin my my Ted talk I'm sorry that was a beautiful Ted talk what's
great is everyone knows where I was going yeah what we put in comes out but yeah I think after
this we'll we'll all have sex all right so Thursday uh 9 30 how we roll last question 9 30 yes uh uh
it's the row back question what size are you we'll get you some row back gear beautiful gear
what is your look great it's it's a good question it's q zips and hoodies uh and it's the best
stuff in the world our ho no our ho b a c k dot com that is though that's a really good
sweatshirt use code take for 20 off your first purchase I have a bone to pick with you with
something I heard you say recently um and this would be the last question yeah you you own to pick
you said that uh if ice if you live forever ice cream wouldn't taste as good yeah and I think
that's totally wrong well neither of us can try neither of us can give that a word that made no
sense when you said it because I do love listening to you because you do actually have like some
really profound thoughts and then when you said that I was like wait shut up Pete that's stupid
that is like ice cream would still be awesome I agree with you first of all I I know what I'm
trying to say I'm exaggerating a little bit to make a point I'm trying to embrace that I don't
think in my spiritual worldview that the clock on the game that might be a better metaphor
meaning that we die imbues this moment fuck ice cream this moment the fact that we know that
that we're a room full of flowers we like to think that we're that we're all jack reaches but
we're flowers we're delicate and we're only here for a time imbues this moment with a richness
that wouldn't be there if I was like I live forever I'll be back 20 times guys this could be it yeah
okay all right that way the way you're putting it there I think it was just specifically the ice
cream part I was like god damn it here's where I'm wrong yeah and this is good this is what I'm
talking about I'm letting the music manipulate me I'm letting your opinion you're right ice cream
would always taste great I just when you overdo it there's something about the way that the universe
works that feeling good all the time doesn't work yeah have you ever noticed that yes like heroin
has dire consequences like if the point was to feel good all the time these things would be great
life action would be like all right just get me an IV drip of heroin and while I'll just roll
around like holding it yeah it's not how it is it's supposed to be this and death is part of that
and and one of the reasons is because this is a sports place a basketball game without a clock
is absolutely joyless right and in the same way I love that you brought it up because
it brought me it put the needle on the record for me everything's a little clearer everything's
a little bit more urgent and vivid because I remember Pete stop you think you're doing press
I'm going to do this I'm going to go over there do another show it's just this and it could just
be this yeah it could just be this that's a good I like when you're happy you're sad when you're sad
and that's how you feel the most happy overall yeah well you need well that's another idea you
need the contrasting energy when when you're down that is what makes up up but we want just one side
of the coin yeah no you don't it's like when you get sick and you said you added mild for COVID but
like when you get sick when you get the flu or something happens to you you appreciate the health
a lot more and you and and how we are at least how I am you feel like you'll never be well again
right and then when you are just like you were saying about the quarantine you immediately
forget that you were ever sick yes and you just go around I'm invincible yeah getting ice cream
tastes like shit because I'm never gonna die yes I'm trying to I'm trying to say something the
stakes of death are what give life more value and I would say yep make ice cream a little bit more
delicious because ice cream is this sort of indulgent it's not healthy but you know you're
you're taking a little bit and ah it means more that you know you it might be your last
all right I'm on board now um Pete this has been great it's great to see you thank you and uh everyone

gonna kick your feet up on the couch you can probably take your tie off have a nice one cold
beard fall asleep no nothing bad happened this week okay cool you've already forgotten it that's
fine wait I don't even know I mean we literally have like the best chip over Hank's head for the
rest of our lives because we retired his coach oh I forgot about that was this week that was Saturday
no that was this week that was this week I'm trying to move on I will say I was just talking
about it uh to Rudy and on camera and and I said it we talked about it on Sunday but
and it set into me instantly the second we left the stadium but there is a big difference between
your team losing there's like the stages of grief it's maybe a few days and then you move on
and then it's like all right we got next year we got we got the future we got everything going
this loss was different because for the rest of time whenever I'm happy whenever anything goes good
in my life yep whenever I'm feeling good or like something you know Patriots Celtics whatever it may
be I just know that this guy to my right Daniel Katz is gonna just at any chance he gets be like
hey remember when we killed coach K in the final four and and UNC B Duke in their last two games
and it's just gonna bring me down so that I'm actually I'll actually set it instantly and it
just it's every time I think about it it's a downer right now here and now Henry someday when you
decide to get married to some fine woman I will make sure that my gift is a commemorative like
framed plaque of that game that's very that's very nice guaranteed maybe signed by coach K
in Mickey Sheshevsky and then I I do also like I'm I'm just moving apartments because I feel like
again fests are yeah my apartment like doesn't have AC again huh you can buy an AC like a window
unit and my window doesn't really have that type of window you don't have the capabilities to oh
you're too high up no I just it's not like a it's a it's a long window talking about a door
you got you got a yeah sliding I don't have a normal square window it's not like floor to
ceiling either it's just probably like you know skinny like maybe maybe four feet in length I'm on
the third floor so yeah penthouse nope there's so I'm in the middle what's the plan you're gonna
move again I'm gonna move Jersey City it's been real but it's just not wow it's just so oh you're
no different than Shaheen Halloween yeah no Jesus Christ so you had a little bit of success
and then you're out the door now Hank is the sliding door thing that you have I used to sell
portable air conditioners I can set you up with one that might fit that door how many square feet
is the room I don't fucking know probably at least 14,000 BTUs is this because I think my
apartment's like 600 square feet total is this because now that you're uh corporate you can't
be seen in Jersey City no it's not Jersey City it's my building it's my building are you sure
I'm positive are you moving to Westchester I'm not I'm gonna stay in Jersey somewhere corporate
Hank's going to Greenwich Connecticut moving to Trump Tower but the other thing you guys know
you know I love the summer summer is my time of year I love you know living on the ocean big
fan of boats uh and and Blake Bortles recently got cut from or he chose to leave uh is that what
we're going with no that's that's actually what happened he said you know what I'm going I'm going
to spread my wings elsewhere so the the same sign Andy Dalton and Blake decided to leave
and Addison Ray who's just a content creator uh you know great Twitter personality has really
interesting tweets you should follow her does she have any other jobs uh she's a tiktoker she's a
brand whatever representative she's a movie star she's all that she was a journalist she was all
that she was a journalist for USC yep uh so more accomplished than you pft I don't know what that
type of oh wow but she tweeted and I saw it on my timeline it just said we need to appreciate
boats more and coming from a dual action boat appreciator both Blake Bortles and you're buying
a boat aquatic I'm not buying a boat this is a very long way of Hank explaining that he's not
horny and pft bongs me and and and publicly tweeted and was like oh I'm you know I'm bonking you
for liking a tweet and and that was just too much from the guy that's no I would never be saying that
I don't jack off and memes is like coming at me for being too horny I I don't know why I was
catching those straights I don't think I'm constantly saying that I think I said it one time
off camera in a private moment that was on it was on PMTV it was on PMTV PMTV I'm not horny
it was on it was on PMTV now Hank has successfully steered this conversation towards me where's the
firefest well this is I'm just out here trying to appreciate boats and Hank is just delivering
a monologue yeah a monologue saying that he's not horny what does that have to do with you moving
well I didn't want to make my firefest every week about my apartment sucking so I didn't do that
oh I didn't mention that I chose my other firefest I see if he's bonking me got it got it okay side
note I do hate my apartment and I'm moving yeah okay that's not my firefest I don't want to just be a
you know an apartment complainer no yeah no no those people suck yeah all right pft what's your
fire well my apartment just jacked up my rent my rent so I'm moving back inside the official lease
although I did negotiate them down a hundred dollars a month just for the record but no my real
firefest is uh that my body is now fully recovered from New Orleans but it's not yet I I'm of the
mindset that you know how like underwater divers when they work on places to like weld super far
beneath the ocean surface they come back up to to surface and they spend like three days
in a decompression chamber before they go into the real world or else their their body like literally
explodes there needs to be a city that's maybe adjacent to New Orleans that you go to to ease
yourself back into the real world well I was saying because my firefest is that I just have
not recovered and I just I my body is is in shambles um and I just can't I have no bounce back
whatsoever uh anymore but I I was thinking that we need to have legalized like you can be put into
coma for a few days yeah because then I won't eat like put me in yeah put me in a coma I won't
eat I'll get some sleep I'll wake up and I'll be like maybe maybe even get that um when someone
gets in a really bad uh tackle and they they they cool their core cool my core down put me in a
refrigerator for an entire week and then let me come out of that and be like all right you've
lost 15 quick pounds you slept for a week you're ready to go so yeah I agree I think I just think
it there should be one location that's known as this like in between reintroducing you to society
place maybe that spot in Arizona where they keep all the frozen heads that Ted Williams had yeah
the knocked over yeah maybe they have just like a a jv version of the cryo chambers where they
temporarily freeze you that just like four days that um that like reintroduction into society is
so hard on Wednesday I woke up felt like shit still feel like shit but like I had that momentary
thought I was walking my son to school and I was like man you know it'd be great as if I could just
crack a beer on the street here and just stand on the street like we were doing that
on Sunday night we were just standing in the street drinking beers and it was like and just talking
with it with guys it was just like we're just hanging out and it's like this is awesome we were
starting to use the word y'all yeah we were just like getting really into New Orleans yeah it was
just like the vibe of it maybe we just it's that it's that feeling you have after a bachelor party
when like the Monday or Tuesday and you get that little lull the the depression where you're like
well it'd be so sick if we just if I just could live with all my best friends and like you realize
that's not real life but you have that moment where you just want to go back and uh yeah I've been
struggling with that all week and also I feel like a sausage that needs to be popped so can I
give you some advice what's worked for me is and this usually works for hangovers in general
jerking off well no I don't do that uh spicy soup spicy soup and yes I will prescribe soup for
anything but spicy soup it makes you sweat and whenever I sweat anything when I'm feeling bad
I know it's not medically true but I feel like everything that I'm sweating out is all the stuff
inside me that's making me feel bad in the first place so it would leeches on it would work for me
normally but for the specifically for New Orleans I the the thing I'm struggling with so much is that
I just took in so much salt that I just need to like I was at the end of that trip I was we went
out to dinner on that's Monday night and I was I was eating gumbo like it was a glass of water it
wasn't even I didn't even order gumbo as like part of the meal it was more just like oh I'm going to
eat the gumbo and then I'll start the meal no god yeah gumbo was the table's entire like
pre-appetizer it was yeah it was like it was it was it wasn't even it wasn't even like bread it was
like breadsticks you know when they drop off breadsticks and it's like one sliver of a breadstick
that does nothing for you that's what gumbo was I couldn't even get high off gumbo fortunately for
us we have we live in the best gumbo city in America that's true New York City and Manhattan
specifically Jersey City's gumbo is a little too spicy for me yeah I like the New York City
gumbo I actually posted a picture of just I don't know if you saw it but uh last night I was going
through gumbo withdrawals so I posted a picture of the shittiest looking like clear water and boiled
chicken and and rotini noodles and I was like made my own route and I had to look the entire city
New Orleans got triggered by it um I'll put the bail in next time but yeah we are I think as a
podcast you love you love trolling food Twitter I do it's the best we're all like finally approaching
normal on this podcast I feel I feel like Monday we'll be back you know what it's going to be I'm
it's I'm at 65% it's going to be the master's nap this weekend that brings you back yeah you know
it is I'm very excited to hang out with my family and just chill but yeah no I'm I'm 65% I was Tuesday
I was like five Wednesday I was maybe like 25 so I've had a nice bounce back but I'm not there
I got another group firefest for us we all followed an anonymous hot tip and put money on
Siwu Kim because we were told that he was he should be the odds on favorite to win the master's
one of the dumbest messages ever sent the guy said his numbers says that Siwu Kim should actually
be minus 140 I pointed out that peak tiger the greatest golfer of all time at his absolute best
was like plus 200 to win math you know major tournaments and he's got Siwu Kim at minus 140
in his calculation I don't even he's not gonna make the cut Siwu Kim's like four over right
he's not gonna make the cut so I looked him up this morning because I wanted to find out more
about him before I drove over to New Jersey to place the bet uh this is the guy that I was very
excited to root for number one they call him the soul streaker because he's from Seoul South Korea
yep so last year at the master's he finished tied for 12th but he did that without a putter
on the back nine because he got so mad that he snapped his I remember that and threw it away
this is a guy that I was I was born to root for it turns out he stinks yeah oh well oh well good
tip gotta take it Billy what's your firefest so I took the brick of cash the bank yesterday uh and
you know they're counting all out and it came out to 2049 dollars so you lost a dollar I don't know
what the dollar went the system has I feel bad for you so then I was like I had to give
dollar for my pocket oh no which isn't that bad but it was like crazy I was like where the hell
of that one dollar go wait you had a dollar on I thought you didn't like cash wait you had a dollar
on you and that was probably the dollar where the dollar well the dollar I think we got to the
bottom of this no that one the dollar was in my wallet right the brick of cash was a brick of
cash right anyway so I don't know where that dollar went and uh my knees are shot they just hurt
no Billy you don't get to do that you're still too young my knees hurt no you don't get to and you
weren't in New Orleans yeah you and you weren't in New Orleans you don't get my knees I hate to be the
guys like you're not old but you're not the why do my knees hurt because it's raining true that's
always how it goes torn a couple times you probably haven't been squatting recently either no I have
been that's what I don't think you have might be why they hear how defensive you got right there
because I've been squatting I don't know it sounds like Captain May you're good Billy you're still
fucking peak athlete how old are you 24 23 it just turned off you got you got your prime in front
of you your body's got like four more cycles to go through before your joints actually start no
seriously peak athleticism is like what 27 28 I was out there we're talking about that the other
I think 27 yeah is when I can say I peaked athletically yeah so you're good Billy uh Jake
finished off very very low peak yeah my firefest actually involves you guys uh so last week we
got hogs for the cause down in New Orleans we're enjoying should we leave you there no oh no uh
I'm you could have totally said like you guys just left without me and I'm like whoops yeah it was a
mess there yeah a good mess no it was a lot of fun great cause uh and we were drinking some margaritas
responsibly and pft and a bunch of others just started telling me that there was thc in it
and I started freaking out I'm like wow it's the night before the final four and I'm just gonna have
to be paranoid you're gonna be so panicking the rest of the night you'll be so hung over for the games
yeah not even hung over just like damn this is the night before the final four I'm gonna be just
bugging out sitting in the hotel room can't do anything you need to have mental clarity what if
you don't get unhigh right like tip-off happens and it's like what if you just spend all the ball
for the ball tipped and it won't come down like I don't know uh yeah but it was like 20 minutes
of panicking until I found out you guys were just busting my balls it was a good prank it was a good
prank we got everybody involved I would have done that too I wasn't I appreciate yeah Hank and Liam
and kft were part of that I would have said it was heroin yeah it was great though because Jake was
like he was asking me all these questions like how how is my body going to handle this which
should I be prepared for I guess he somebody told him I had experience in that for some reason and
so I was like walking him through and he was like I'm just gonna have to like sit down and just like
stare straight ahead and just try to keep it together for the next couple hours I was like Jake
you can do it let me know yeah plus like we were there representing the company I didn't want to
like I actually heard through the grapevine you were fucked up yeah wasted here's possibly yeah so
I mean Dave was saying on the live stream he's like I like Jake but like every time I see him
that kid's just messed up so we can't have him on live streams because he'll just say whatever
yeah he said to me he pulled me aside and he was like just when when I say uh we're gonna take
barstool to the moon why does Jake take that literally every day sounds like I don't know
yeah but it was a good prank worked out yep here we are yeah love it it was fun it was all good
fun Jake yeah all good all right um numbers and and good luck this weekend and all your masters
