Wait a minute, huh? hang on His new midnight bean is available right now It's a bottle of espresso martini made with real vodka natural coffee flavors And it tastes great and most importantly it foams up when you shake it and pour no espresso machine necessary. Man it sounds corny when you do it like that. From KFC Barstool everybody it's the great Kevin Clancy joining us. What's up fellas, how we doing? We're doing good thanks for being here. You brought this into the most sober room, your booze. I know I was thinking about it all the way. And I'll drink the whole bottle except I hate coffee.

You know what? What a crowd. For you, let's sell this sucker. I'm gonna lose my 39 years of sobriety. Pour me a cup, Lou. I like that. I'm in, let's fuck it up. What's wrong with you, asshole?

Is that it? That's it right there? Let me see, I wanna smell it. Is it great? I wanna smell it. Oh. You know, it's funny because when I did drink when I was young, we used to have a thing called

potion night, where we'd send the oldest guy who could buy the liquor, we'd pull all our money together. You're molester? No, I didn't get molested by him. Why'd you wink before you said it? Because I did, and I didn't want the people to know. Oh. Oh.

Anyways, we would get here, he would go down and buy all the booze, but he would get all kinds of mixed drinks. He wouldn't buy just, you know, he'd buy like, you know, mudslides and, you know, screwdrivers. And one night he made, like, stuff like this, and he'd come back and we'd all get cheese cups and we'd have mixed drinks. I was 13, just drinking mixed drinks.

It would be a great story if you weren't a 13-year-old and got molested by him, but otherwise sounds great, man. I didn't get molested by him, I think it was his brother. Bobby? Bobby? It smells. I'll tell you right now, if I did drink... It's good, man. I didn't get my list by him, but I think it was his brother. Yeah, who could? Bobby? Bobby? This smells, I'll tell you right now, if I did drink. It's good, man, it's good.

But I hated beer, I hated whiskey, I hated hard alcohol. This is the shit. This is tasty. This type of shit, yes sir. What's a cheese cup? Oh, when we, before they were called solo cups, they were called, they had them at the LaCauchess Bakery,

the Italian bakery, they would use those red cups to put cheese in. So you'd go and get a bunch of stuff and then your cheese would come in the red cup. We called it cheese cups. Oh. There you go. So the solo cup, which became beer pong shit,

which retard started to stack and go on TV with, we used to call them cheese cups, because that's what the LaCashia's bakery and South Meadow would put the cheese in. And that's- I'm not sure what that side dig was to Beer Pong and the brand Solo Cup. What was that side dig?

You just said, that was weird. And that shit had started stacking them and calling them Beer Pong dumb pieces of shit. They took our cheese cups. No, I didn't, there was no side, I think you're reading into it, dude. I think you're reading into it. You called them retards.

No, I said retards stack cups. Did your father? Brr, brr, brr. Oh, I see. You know, those people. Is it true your father left your family because he said he was gonna make a million dollars in cheese cups and then Solo stole it from him? Wasn't my father.

That's why I never came back. It was a guy my mom dated. The guy molested you? No, he didn't molest me. His brother. Well, who molested you then? Many people, Jay, but let's not get into that because we have booze to sell.

Yeah. And let me tell you something, dude, this smells fantastic. Let me get it wet. Black Lou. It smells real good. Take a sip of that, Paco. It's a cocktail. I mean, it's become very cliché and popular over the last few years, so I've been drinking them. I was drinking them a long time ago when, like, nobody even... You'd ask a bartender and they'd be like, I'm not the fuck you're talking about.

I was just on a cruise, dude, and I mean... They're everywhere. Five out of six people had one of these in their hand. I mean, I've been drinking them since 2010, and it was kind of like only a few people knew about it, and now it's become like the drink. So I was like, let's get into this game. If I would have thought better of this, I would have had Black Lou wear an Isaac from Love Boat wig.

Wig? What about the outfit? If you just wore a wig, you'd just be a black guy from the 70s. We would have put him in a nautical outfit. He'd need the outfit, Jay. Yeah, you have to have the first mate outfit. Not just the wig. Oh, love, exciting and new.

Are you trying it? I hope we all get fucked up. So good. I love espresso martini. Give me an honest review review you can take a look at I love espresso martini Yes, it's so good. It has like a sweetness to it a lot of times bartenders fuck them up They don't know that's the thing too is like and and like it's good It's the same thing every time if you shake it up you get like the foamy effect And I I don't want to go out anymore

So I want to be able to have it at home And you have to have the espresso machine, and then this and then that. Now it's like, boom, one bottle, pour it out. Can you tell me, because I haven't drank since I was 15, what is in a martini espresso? What is it made of? Usually it's vodka, espresso. Some people put like little Baileys in it,

like a little cream, but it's usually just espresso. Maybe some vanilla vodka, if you will. Shake it up. Yeah, and then this, barters, you have to make the espresso, pour the vodka, pour the cream, shake it all up. This is all in one bottle. And if you just give it a little shake, it kind of like activates it and makes it all foamy. Which is kind of the cool part of it, just to be able to have that.

So you can just get a couple bottles of these, throw them in a cool, go to a party, and everybody has these drinks ready to go. Done. Where it used to be like, again, you'd go out, and the bartender either doesn't know how to make it, doesn't know what it is, oh, we don't have the espresso machine, it's like, oh, production. Now it's like, bam, done.

Yeah, because having coffee at a bar is weird. Yeah, but at nighttime, you want to pick me up. Does it give you caffeine? Yeah, it gives you a little kick. No shit, that's great. It's fantastic. This is what bothers me about when I quit drinking so young. I never got to have, like go to a bar and have on the rocks.

You missed weed, too. No, I smoked weed. No, no, no, but you missed the evolutions of things. I think my take these days, I think weed is too good. I take like one hit and I wanna be able to like smoke a joint. No. I take one hit and I'm gonzo, dude.

This is literally the size of joints I smoke always because they're little halves and it is all you need because it's so good. But as I'm saying, you guys didn't get to witness the development of things. We had to smoke a bag. You had to pull seeds, you never got passed pulling seeds out.

Yeah, we actually, yeah, we had got the plant. Like, you know what I mean? Like, invented cannabis. Yeah, I remember when I was in the land, like. He goes, hey, you smoke potty? He goes, what am I, a horticulturist? Yeah, dude. I remember we used to get weed and roll big fat labas

and have to smoke a lot of them to get wasted. Yeah, yeah. A lot of weed to get toasted. No, it's very strong. But I think booze has developed heavily too. Also, actually more for someone like me who can't just knock back grain alcohol and you need some flavor and stuff into it

They've come along that's why I said like yeah, why if white claw existed when I was Okay, I would have started drinking probably as a teenager Oh wait what I needed to me was the idea that was like booze tasted so gross and I thought beer was disgusting Kind of I like these I used to get me fun for this being like that's a chick drink It's a sweet drink and it is but now it's always raining pussy on Kevin Klan I just think it raised it reached a point where like yeah it's like I don't know you just drink whatever you fuck you like you know yeah I used to love drinking mudslides well fucking my god that's gay mother what I mean mudslides I mean guys just shitting in my face yeah man

was that awesome we're all familiar with German pornography. Yeah, man, that made me, as a 13 year old, wild. And screwdrivers were awesome too back then. Cause we used to drink whiskey, we would drink it just to get fucked up. So that, you know, a lot of the guys at home would just get a bottle of whiskey and we'd hit one sip it.

I hated it. We could get a screwdriver and just get fucked up slow. When I started drinking it was Mike's Hard Lemonade had just came out. Oh jeez. And it was like, same thing, I know I'm supposed to drink beer, but I was like 15 and I didn't like it.

Definitely couldn't drink whiskey or anything like that, so I'd be like, can I have a Mike's Hard Lemonade? And you're drinking like a six pack of basically lemonade soda. Well now beer is kinda. The only one I had when I was younger, I just never knew how to get booze young, but what would have caught me more than anything would have been like a Bartles and James or something like that

We've been all that stuff. Yeah, it's so funny because when we had a we used to wait for a buyer So we'd have to I mean I'm surprised I didn't get fucking some guy didn't try to fuck our faces more than they did Because we just stand in front of More than they did thank God you only got face fucked by the ones you did and not more than that. I mean, nobody was like, yeah, I'll fucking buy you a kiss if you fucking let me suck it off. It never happened. I used to get weed, we would go to this guy,

we'd hop in his car, and we were fucking like ninth grade, get in the car with shakes, and you drive around the block. We'd go right over the bridge into the Bronx. We were in Westchester, we would just go right over. And he was a nice guy, but I was looking back on it, like what the fuck was I doing? Dave Smith got a crazy one like that like they knew it's like some guy named Glenn it was like the when they they didn't think was weird but when they

were all teenagers like a 30-something or 40 year old guy would pick them up and but he said always just square biz sold them weed you'd also weirdly hang out and play basketball with them sometimes or maybe video games But it was an older and they but they were just like yeah, Glenn's weird, but he's funny brings us though I forget the guy's name is so like that when I was 10 There was this girl Patty I used to like and she used to hang out with this guy named Dickie He was 30 nice, and I should hang out with a I was 10 hanging out with a guy named Dickie And he was fine hanging out with you as a tree bar

Yeah, cuz like when you're a young kid you're like, ah, you're cool You're 30 when you're a 30 year old hanging out with teen 10 named Dickie. And he was fine hanging out with you is the strange part. That was crazy. Because like when you're a young kid, you're like, oh, you're cool, you're 30. When you're a 30-year-old hanging out with 10 years old, 10 is fucking insane. That's insane. Dude, he got me shit-faced on my birthday. He fucked your face. No, he never did. You know you were shit-faced. Well, you're right about that.

Really, you were cock-faced. Yeah, he got me a bottle of Seagram 7. Yeah, good stuff, little 7 and 7. I just got fucking trashed with a 30-year-old guy named Dickie on my birthday at 10. I never, yeah, I don't know, I just never, those rebellions weren't my rebellions. I was like drinking underage and stuff like that.

Yeah, so you waited till you were like 21? I mean, I'm sure I had like a, I started comedy when I was 19, so I think going to the comedy club, they would serve me there. So I think for looks, because all the comics doing it, I would get a I was 19, so I think going to the comedy club, they would serve me there. So I think for looks because all the comics doing it I would get a Bud Light bottle and I learned how to like Get that down. It wasn't like disgusting me so I could drink like two or three of those over the course of a night Once in a while, but it was never like if I had a choice always I'd be drinking a good coke

Yeah, yeah, yeah, drink now like as an adult. Did you take it pick it up not pick it up? Not pick it up, I do, it's funny, I have a system, and every time I do legions of skanks, I always do it. You always do it in shots of tequila, right? It's three shots of tequila, and like a high noon, or whatever kind of version of that is, and I just get it, because I like being buzzed, but I hate drinking. I hate the taste of it so much.

I used to hate, like, you know, at my peak of drinking, when it just, I mean, I felt like I was drinking a thousand beers a night, and I felt like I was drinking a Thousand beers a night. I hate this. Oh, it's like just a volume With a company called barstool You're gonna have to fucking throw down man shit. Yeah, yeah I mean what we used to do events and it was like people buy shots and drinks and it's like I'm always grateful But I'm like I just did like seven in a row

I can't, you know. I mean, the fact that you got out of that with your shit together is crazy, I mean, crazy. Thank God, yeah. Is Portnoy your boss, technically? Is that how that works? Yeah. Over at Barstool. I mean, he created the company,

and then there was a period of time where we sold it, and he was still running the show, but like technically there was other bosses, and now he owns it again. Just fair warning, Sue Costello's gonna bring him to his knees. I don't know if you follow her on Facebook. Don't say who.

Okay. Please don't say who. Why would you say Beetlejuice three times? He's trying, just stop. Please don't. No, I just want you. No, I don't want Kevin. Leave Kevin alone.

He has a life. What am I setting up for anything? I just don't bring it. Don't say it. What? He's not even taking anyone's back in this. I just wanted to know. She's a comedian. Oh wait. Anyways.

She's gonna make CBS. CBS is gonna crumble to their knees. Is she a Boston comedian? Yeah. Okay I know you're talking about. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. I know you're talking about. Yes., yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're talking about yes Yes, sue Bobby loves her. I mean we all love her what yeah, she had she did have something again Well, it's an sue TVs coming back Of course didn't you think it was suspicious that we brought it up by the way if you think that's not how she types it is This game very suspenseful.

This is suspenseful. We're going to get sued. But yeah, they go to war. But I did try the pizza place in my new neighborhood that was based on him. Portnoy certified. Did you agree, or was it? It was good pizza.

I tried the one in Jersey. Yeah. I actually took this kid Danny has a show, it's a 50 seater at a French restaurant. I took the show so I could, I said, I'll do this gig if you get me two of those pizzas. And it was a, I'll fucking do that gig once a month. I mean, outrageous.

Well, it's such an interesting thing. He's such a notorious character, and I didn't understand the brand even. Even when I first came to your guys' show, I knew you guys, and you guys have a comedy show, essentially, a funny show that seemed just like a regular pocket. But his name, I was like, he's the owner of it,

but there's so much stuff he's involved. Like controversy or selling the company. Everything he touches turns to gold. Yeah, is that what it is? Even the pizza reviews are like. Huge. Huge. It's a big deal to the restaurants. And you notice the locals, like every time he goes

to a new place, he has a whole new audience. He's like, that's my spot, I wanna see if I agree or disagree. I think he started that thing. Everybody does a review now. Out of 10, 5.0, 6.2. They never do, not like an eight. Or ABC or any of that, like it's not out of 100,

it's always like. I was actually showing Christine, my new favorite kid who does reviews on food from Dave. Let's muck it up. That's the kid's name? She can't say it, he has Pejoria, and he's from Long Island with pejoria progeria Progeria that too. Yes, dr. Moreau's disease the little remember the freaky thing. That's dr. Moreau. Yeah I love those little tiny getting goes. Let's muck it up

Muck it up. Oh my god. He's freaky looking for sure. No, but I mean, Dave, whether it's the pizza, he did this like a tick tock show with tick tockers, like hosts that he that was huge. He does a show now with a couple of guys at Barstool. It just became massive. Like everything he touches is fantastic. He adopted a pit bull and like now

there's tons of money has been donated to animal rescue. Forget about I mean, yes, but also the money that this dog generates, like now, tons of money has been donated to animal rescue. Forget about it. I mean, yes, but also the money that this dog generates. Like, legitimately, if you asked him, like, you can only have me or this dog as an employee, he would fire me in a heartbeat. Really? This dog makes more money than probably all of us. It's insane.

He should be hiding money in dog bank accounts because Sue Costello is going to bring him to his knees. To his knees. Stop it. No, here's the thing, dude. She's like, she's totally with it, and she's mentally sound, and she's gonna crumble ball her stool. She's gonna crumble ball her stool.

And then CBS is next. Let me ask you a question. Why did he? Les Moonves, mark my words, you'll be brought to your knees. Why did you sell the company and then buy it back? He sold it to get a fat bag of cash. Okay.

And then, so we sold it to like a casino conglomerate, basically, and we started like our own sports book with them. And so we were like basically competing with like DraftKings and FanDuel and all that. We had our own like sports book. Turns out though to have like, to really run a good sports book, you need the best tech and you need the best odds and all that. And going up against FanDuel and Sirius was like pretty harder than we

thought it was going to be. And then they wanted to partner up with ESPN and it was kind of like, uh, we can't really be in bed with both of you sort of thing. So they were like, we're gonna, like, we love you guys. We had a good relationship. We're gonna sell the company back to you. And then they went and partnered with McAfee and ESPN and all that.

So he was able to, I mean, I always joke, I don't even know if I'm joking anymore. He has a deal with the devil. He has a deal with the fucking devil. To be able to sell your company for $600 million and then just get it back. They gave it back? $100 million? Well, get the fuck. They gave it back? $100 million?

Get the fuck out. He's about to face. Wait a minute, dude. Wait a minute. I knew that he'd buy back $1. Yeah, just so you know, Sue Costello's coming. What if?

He made a deal with the devil, but the Lord Warrior, Sue Costello, is coming for you. And she will bring you to your knees. What if that's the thing that does this? Imagine the undoing. I can't even imagine what it takes. He acknowledges her. He does acknowledge her.

It cuts to Jay in the documentary. I was kidding. I was just kidding. I mean, everything with David is like, very funny, we all worked hard, all that shit. I've never met him ever. Oh, really? Who's the third?

Who's the third? It's the, is Dave, you? Dan, Big Cat. Big Cat. Yeah those were like, you know, Dave started the whole thing in Boston, I started in New York, Dan started in Chicago. For a while we were kind of like the three guys who. Indianapolis too, right?

That was. McAfee. McAfee was in Indianapolis. And then he was there for like, McAfee was always gonna, destined to be like his own star. He didn't need to be. Oh he was part of Barstool and Beard? Yeah when he first retired he came right to Barstool.

Those are those things, I think we talked about this in Nashville. That was one of the shows that I remember like years ago, going to do Broad Ripple, Indianapolis, when I was doing press, you know, and they would be like, and if you want to, like there's a sports morning sports show, it's Pat McAfee, he's great, like you'd have a good time with him,

and I could have gotten to know him in that regard possibly, and I was just like, was it a mandatory, like I have to go do it? They go, no, but if you wanna do it, they go, he was the kicker for the cult. On paper it does not sound, yeah. For the cults, and I was like, yeah, dude, and they go, no, he's a wild dude, he's great,

and I was like, I'm sure, man, but I don't wanna do anymore morning press, and I just never went, and now it's like huge. Like a star. I went there in the same thing at whatever club that was that I sold I think 20 tickets to. Broad Ripple. With a balcony.

Oh yeah. And I remember they were going to a cigar lounge after and he was like sitting at a table with all these guys and then there was a table of the comics that were there, the local comics, and I didn't sit with him, which I should have. The guy who I sat with the local comics, 20 feet away, and I'm like, this is my fucking dumb life. Me too, I'm destined to miss.

I sat with Shane, Shane Gillis when I was doing his shows. Sue will never take us down. Never, bring us to our knees. Be too easy, we're already on our knees. I sat in a locker room with Caitlin Clark amongst other people talking with Shane for a half hour. I just kept my head in my phone and when they left everyone was like, Caitlin Clark dude, that was crazy. I go, what? And then Shane, when we landed that day, he goes, when we landed I think in Indianapolis. He was like

Hey, I'm gonna go because we're gonna go to steakhouse right now. It was like 1 p.m We're gonna steakhouse for lunch. And so I I made up like And didn't go and he was like, oh it's great dude, he's like McAfee showed up dude He's the man we rule we all sat in a circle shooting the shit telling stories and I was like, yeah, I watched some true crime on YouTube. I Like destined to miss is like that should be like a name of a book I just I just produced it to cost up How how is Donnell Rawlings been a multi-time guest at Kid Rocks house and Kid Rock still doesn't know my name and walks away in fact when I go on stage.

When you go on stage, your pee break time. He said, big Jay, Dave said, Jay Okerson up next and Kid Rock went, oop and he got up and walked off. At the Kid Rock show, at the Kid Rock show. He's at the Kid Rock show, he's on stage for everybody. Jay goes out and he literally gets up and walks away. Until seven minutes into my 10 minutes said I went,

maybe even later, I went, I don't think people should give hormones or gender reassignment to children. And he ran back out. He's like, what? What are we doing? I go, you're gonna, and then I break your heart. It's a joke, it's gonna be a joke. It's hilarious that fucking, it's a hit.

Here it is, here we go Christine's got him. This is Dave Smith introducing me. We were so happy for Dave Smith by the way pauses we told us on skanks but talk about a step to fail and dwarf and people not knowing Dave's thing. Dave Smith you know Dave's like libertarian and the whole thing. Yeah. He actually made me laugh. He hates Jews. He's a Jewish who hates Jews. He's in a beef with another rapper now Necro they say is also now hates Dave. A a Jewish who hates Jews. He's in a beef with another rapper now, Necro, they said, is also now hates Dave, a Jewish rapper who hates Dave now because he thinks Dave's Hitler.

But I was standing with Dave and the dwarf, Andrew Dorfin was on before Dave bringing him up and he goes, hey, before I bring the next comics up, Bobby, come out here, Bobby, and he brings Kid Rock on stage, out to come on stage with him. And he goes, where's the military people here? Where's the military people?

Stand up, all the military people stand, they turn the lights on, all the military people stand up, and Dave Smith is so opinionated, Dave Smith turned to me and he goes, you're all war criminals. Which is great. But then he goes, alright everybody, he goes, thank you guys, we respect you and love you so much.

Alright, the next comedian, Dave Smith, and Dave went up and killed. He did fucking great. then Dave goes so Christine goes Oh, I'm gonna film like what a cool moment like Dave get introduced me at the Kid Rock show You know 20 years know our friendship and and what a cool moment It is for us to be this festival and Dave goes big Jay and you'll see Kid Rock so kid rocking them stand or sit in chairs off stage all along the side Right, you see like straight ahead is where they would be.

See them right there. Jay has done this every year for the last four years. Jay shows up at Bobby, he has to call him Kid Kid. Me and Kid Rock are the only two people that are on it every year. Every year. He's been there. It's basically the Kid Rock and Jay show. He's been there every year.

And as soon as they yell, Big Jay, this is what you see. Oh, my god. This is awesome. I'm going to be the sexiest in this area. That's him. Goodbye. Goodbye. They just walk off.

But not just one. Oh, they go. They go. Everybody goes, I guess Kid Rock thinks this guy's no good. We all just go in the back. Oh my god. Did you see that as you were going on? No.

What I did was, no. What happened was, so I had a beer in my hand and I sit down on the stool. And then at one point I just look over. I look over to, as you will, you just kind of get like, you're almost trained. Somebody's gotta look over and see, we want to make sure Kid Rock's laughing. And I looked over, in as you will, you just kind of get like, you're almost trained. As somebody, I look over and see, we want to make sure Kid Rock's laughing.

And I looked over, in mid-sentence, it was saying something, I was like, and then the girl says to me, I, oh, where's Kid Rock? I just start asking, I'm like, where is he? What happened? I was buckled over because five minutes before that I realized that Kid Rock was gone, and I'm just videotaping an empty row of chairs

waiting for him and then he acknowledges it and I was like, ah, this is the best ever. It hurts so much. What are you gonna do, man? I wasn't even drinking Bud Light, just rock. He's not into me. I have to get that, he's just not that into me. I should read that book.

He doesn't care for me. I don't know, they keep asking me to do the show. I think they think my energy is good for the show. I would think that you guys would be a good match. You think. Here's why we'd be a good match, ultimately. Because I'll just nod my head at all of this dumb politics I don't care about anyway. I'll shoot the Bud Lights too, bro. It's like, you know Trump was sent here by God.

I'm like, yeah, man. Can we just do ATVs on your wacky house lawn? Let's go to the fake White House that you have. He fanboyed out last year. That's where I fucked up. Listen, let's just go back. Okay, all right, that's fair. We had an opportunity last year, we both did, two years, yeah, last year.

We both did it. We both went up, did the show, killed it, and we're going to his club to hang with Bobby. This is Nashville? Nashville. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Nashville. Everybody's going to his club, he's gonna be there, we're gonna hang, I brought cigars, he brought stories,

we're gonna go to Bobby, we're going back to his house. All the comics are like, yeah, dude, I've been back to his. His club, his club. But I thought. Oh, we're gonna end up being invited to his house. Yes. Sure. Our thought was, he's gonna love us so much.

We're gonna be best friends. Because we've talked about the comics. Other comics that are not less than us, but... Yeah. Donnell doesn't know a Kid Rock song. I could tell you lyrics to B-Sides. Right. We should be friends.

And I'm... So, we're going back to his house to see the mansion, blah, blah. We're gonna party. We're gonna party whenever great story We get there and there he is. He's right there and The noise you're right there. He comes over to get me me And he goes he goes Jay. What's up, man? He goes, let's go over here and talk for a minute, man He just wanted to like and we took a what I say about a 15 step walk 15 step walk and I walked, when I saw that happen,

I wanna go over too. That was my chance, yeah. I go over to be part of this. In the 15 steps, my, I go, think of a plan, think of a plan, no reason to, I should've just talked like a human being. I go, think of a plan, I go, tell him every time you've seen him live

and how much you loved it and how great he was. He probably wants to hear me tell him how great he was. And then he turns around and he goes, what's up man? Great job tonight. And then I might as well have been like, great job me. How about great job you in 1999 when I saw you on the summer sanitarium tour. When you were there with Kid Rock and Korn and Metallica. And he's like, oh yeah, that was fun. I'm like, ah, and then the one that you did, History of Rock, and then, ah, and then Joe C died.

That was such sad. You did like the Chris Farley show. That was awesome. Yeah, remember that? That was awesome. I walked him through everything he's done, and then by the third event, I'm telling him that I've seen him at,

where we met briefly backstage. He didn't know, recall, he did not recall that. He started to do the thing where he's looking past me at other people, and I was like, I was like, but dude, I don't want to hold you up. I know you got a lot of people, but whatever. And I just dipped out. And then Bobby came in.

Buddy, I'm sitting there listening to him talk and I was like, what's happening? I don't understand if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it felt wrong. It was not going good. You see him losing, his eyes are going blank. And he's like, is this lady just going to keep telling me how great I am and the way you rap and then you rap and also play instruments yeah I'm stunned to every like I could see you being a guy

who plays it cool with like everybody like I don't know we have celebrities coming here to interview them if we've ever met them before like I the minute before they walk in if they go oh goes goes they tripped outside. They can't come in. I bet okay Okay, that's good. I get panicky Bobby's good Bobby's good, but I don't know this the Jay I saw was the Jay who never got into comedy Just did cheesesteak fucking reviews Hey, you could have been good for business, who knows? Yeah, I mean I feel like you're on stage everywhere, you're around all these comics. Are you good with that? Are you good with famous people?

I think so now, yeah. I think in the beginning I was good at faking it, and now I'm kind of like... Also, I've met enough and I have not ever I have not ever, it hasn't made a difference one way or the other. Who was the most famous person that you've been around? The one you had to engage with. Yeah, the one you had to engage with, you had to talk to and hang out with. Like they interviewed or hung out with?

Because it was different, you know what I mean? Like had to be in a place and just say, what's up, and exchange, you know, nice things. That's it either. I mean, interview wise, we did like, Mark Wahlberg was like a like a you know It's pretty big Chris Hemsworth was by the biggest one. That's huge. That was a big one I was like and that one I I openly was like I'm just gonna fanboy

I was just like you're so fucking good-looking your Thor. You're awesome. You're the man Not on the podcast like yeah, I'm talking like after the podcast when you take the pictures What I mean, that's where it gets tough. Yeah know what I mean? That's why it really crumbles. Yeah, like here it's like black and blue, you can ask the questions, but as soon as it's over, okay, cool. It's like you're back to being more famous than I am. Like in this moment we might be equals,

but then it's like, yeah. When we have a celebrity on and we go, all right everybody, that's Gavin Rosdale, we'll be right back, it's the bonfire. I wish I could just like just slink under the table after that so he never sees me again. I always do the same thing, I'm like, so you got any more press?

Like, you going home after this? Like that small talk does suck. And you gotta do the same thing. I'm like so you got any more press like Like that small talk this song you got to do that and you're gonna get it in a little bit I mean I do like just gotta grab a quick picture real quick. Yeah Vertical sign with you got a burden with like oh and also can you do a hey you're listening to the bonfire Yeah, I Brian Krantz. It was a big one. I liked him a lot. Yeah There's also the guys who are really good. You know who's great at making me feel like he knows me and he clearly has no idea? It's Kevin Hart.

Every time we've done Kevin, he's been like, great to see you guys again, you're killing it. You guys got so much better since last time. I know you don't know. Last time I saw him, I was at the cellar, he walked up to me and went, why are you still doing this? And then walked away. And then I sat there for two hours going, in my head,

why am I still doing this? Last time I heard from him, Bobby had to basically, essentially, emotionally walk me over to him holding my hand and go, Kevin, this is your old friend Jay, why don't you answer his message? And Kevin went, okay, and then did for a week. And then talked to did for a week. And then talked to him for a week and blocked me.

I love, whatever. You got blocked by Kevin Hart? Whatever little friendship I still had with Kevin from coming up in the city, I lit on fire to give to him for a week. Hey, you're a good friend. Bobby's a great friend, and he has walked away from many possible

famous relationships because of something, because he listened to me saying to do the funniest thing in the moment. So he's ruined a relationship with, I believe, Captain America, Chris Evans. Captain America's gone. Gone. That close to being pals.

And we saw it happen. He could have been like the buddy in the movie, who knows? No, we watched it happen. Bobby texted him something that we all thought was funny. Wait, we're talking Chris Evans, County of America? Yeah, yeah. And it was blue, went through blue.

Well here's what, let's go back a little bit. I had an incident with him, got his number, texted him too quick that night, should have waited a few days. I texted him good meat. I meant to put good meeting you. Just good meat. Oh great meeting you, I wrote great meet.

And then didn't respond, then look like hours later. Did you spell meet the right way? I went no. Did you say great meet? No. Dude, great meet, M-E-A-T. Oh shit, Bobby doesn't know how to spell or read. So he.

Did you write great meet? So I wrote great M-E-E-T. But still. Where'd you meet? Where did you meet him? I met him at Boston Comics Come Home. And I was literally talking to his mom. Didn't know he was there. He had the beard.

Making his mom crack up. She was like, you were so funny. And I look over and as I'm killing this, I'm murdering with this lady. In the VIP room. I know you were mama America. I look, Captain America is fucking dying. And he's like, dude, what the fuck? Like hanging out in Boston. And then he's like, dude, you gotta give me your number.

Oh, yeah. Oh, so he said it like, give me your number, dude. I was like, yeah, sure. Here's my number. All right, dude, call me. I was so proud of myself that I was like, yeah, dude, cool. All right, I'll see you later. I ended it perfect, walked away.

And you just took one step further. I was so excited. That night, I'm in the hotel. Good meat. And I just like, shouldn't have. Shouldn't have never, ever done it. Thick meat. For, Andrew Schultz. Girth meat.

Andrew Schultz saved me though. Six months later, six months, eight months later, I'm on my podcast telling him that, you know, this happened, he goes, here's what you do, I'll fix it for you. He goes, right now, text him, fucking asshole. And I'm like, no, he goes, just text him, fucking asshole, right now, trust me. I go, all right, so I text that, right? He goes, just text him fucking asshole right now. Trust me.

I go, what do I got? So I text that, right? He goes, wait 20 minutes. So we do the podcast. He goes, all right, text back. Sorry, wrong number, how you doing, bro? I text back, sorry, wrong number, how you doing, bro? He texts back, ah, good man,

I'm just in Atlanta right now filming End Games. I'm in! I'm fucking back in! But later that night I fucked it up and I take the stuff off. No! What'd you say? I said something like I hope the movie.

I'm thinking about your loss of life something's coming out. Some stupid shit like, dude I love the movie, I don't know. Dude your shield's so cool man. We did a, when I. So then, and then cut to coming here and he fucking ruined it again. When I went, Christine's watched me do it when I went to I open for Shane

At that Wells Fargo in Philly and I knew a bunch of like a bunch of the Eagles came and stuff Yeah, and even when they come up and they were like even after the show when they're like, hey man, really funny stuff. I'm like It's crazy dude, I would not think that of you I don't know you Jaylix and I thought afterward Jaylix hunt There's gonna be a defensive monster, came up to me and he was like, he was like, dude man, JLix, man, he goes, that was really, really funny.

I was like, you're good. I mean, I just gotta walk away. It's so weird to see him. I stay outside most of the, everyone was in there. The Philadelphia Phillies, Alex Baum was there. J is fantastic. I just like, I shake hands, I go, it's nice to meet you. And then I just get away from them. Jay's fantastic around Justin Silver and Josh Adam Myers.

Oh, I kill it. Fucking murders. I dominate. Kills it, runs the room. Dominate, I can really hold court. Now are you still going, you guys still have the offices downtown. Yep.

And everything, now is the company is just killing it right now, right? Yeah, I think so. I mean, we kind of split back up. We used to be all in different cities. Then we all came together in New York, all under one roof, kind of turned it into almost like a reality show. And then Big Cap took a bunch of people

to go back to Chicago, where he's from. Dave moved to Florida to evade taxes. And now we're like left, you know, like still, like we kept the New York office. The office there was dope. It's very cool. And you're up in Westchester. Yes, that's right bestchester boys right here. Oh, yeah, I don't call it bestchester It's okay, Kev we do I'm sorry

That's against bestchester boys rules Damn, thank God that we're a good combo, Bobby, though, in that regard. When the celebrities come in here, you're good at the early schmooze. And you're good at the... And I can come in. But here's what you do great.

You throw fucked up shit in that I wouldn't have said, and you say some stuff, you break them up and make them laugh and make it a better interview. It's not like this stock interview they've been doing all day. But I have to walk, because I'm telling you, as soon as it goes and I see it like Cuz I dumb I wanted to laugh and like me so much that I'm like even if I'm saying something like a fucked up joke

Or something there's still my intention is that they're gonna like it. Yeah. Yeah, so saying so I think something I forget what it was even there's a Billy Idol a moment We got Billy out of last week where I said something funny. I was like or blah blah blah, and he went yeah And I was like, or blah, blah, blah. And he went, eh. And I was like, oh, I'm done. I'll kill myself now. I'm like, well, Billy Idol hates my guts. It's official. Buddy, this is amazing.

This is a great gift, too. You're not even trying to buy somebody something for Christmas or their birthday or bring something to a party. I hate, like, I don't want to buy beer or whatever. There you go. This is the perfect gift. You don't want to buy a big thing of whiskey,

which is weird. It's a little classy. It's affordable or whatever. This is the perfect gift. You don't want to buy a big thing of whiskey, which is weird. It's a little classy, it's affordable too. What's the market, is there like a ton of like, cause I think the ready to pour already martini espresso is rare. Yeah, I was gonna say, I mean, there's a couple others that are like in the market, but I think the like shaking foaming thing is like,

I mean, when we, I went down to their Sazerac, they went down to like their, I guess, distillery, you call it. You went to Sazerac? Yeah. Wow. And they like- Sazerac is pretty- Yeah, they're a big time distributor. And they were like with a-

Jay's mad at me, he thinks, I don't know what Sazerac is, I'm just saying it. Oh, okay. I must believe you. But the girl who like made it is like a chemical engineer, you know what I mean? Really? She was like doing like science to create this foaming thing.

So I think it is probably the best on the market and that's not just- How much is it? not Jacob's gonna use the booze up the teen girls He keeps trapped in his apartment One martini's usually 20 bucks So I was like this is probably gonna be a high-end Price point and I'm people gonna be mad at me, but fuck them And so I thought it's gonna be like a $80 bottle or 20 bucks. How many do you get in it? How many probably four or five? What a great gift get a girl nice and drunk, but wired awake
