And we hope going to do our best and make it fun that's a mean angle there are people here they're behind the the tv and we and we hope we hope to bring you our best effort uh but again we understand you know this isn't your first choice so onward and upward look francis as a yak fan i agree wholeheartedly if i saw me if the equivalent of me was on the yak two years ago when i was living for the yak every day might have been a little bit upset but again we're gonna do what we can we're gonna do our best we're gonna do we're gonna try so hard have you ever gone to a restaurant and ordered something off the menu and the wait staff brings it over and are like not our best but i hope you like it
Starting point is 00:03:07 you're setting us up for and you think you're softening the blow but you're not so france i told you i was gonna go off on you i mean there was one time when i was uh getting food at a restaurant when i was younger and this waitress had an extra finger on her hand like six fingers and i was like 10 at the time. I've never seen that before. And I was just like mesmerized. And I'm pretty sure the person spit in my food that day. Hey, Meek, I don't know that I would notice that someone had six fingers.
Starting point is 00:03:37 How did you do? Do you routinely count people's fingers? It was dangling like off. Oh, it was a skew. Yeah. Oh, it was a skew. Okay. Oh, it was a skew. Okay. So they, that's tough.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Did they, like, control it? Like, when they were handing you their food, was it, like, six fingers around the plate? Yeah, and she had, like, painted nail polish on it, too. So, whoa, that's nice. She should be a better waitress. Realistically, yeah. That's kind of a ped in a way yeah definitely um um so she had control over it it was not a sort of uh yeah she can move it i'm pretty sure
Starting point is 00:04:13 fun dude but francis i want to talk to you because i like that we i knew the situation coming in uh i talked with tj and za and we were in communication that Sass is traveling. He's doing a show in Philly tonight, and Roan is out as well. And then Nick and KB are handling apartment stuff in Chicago, finishing up the bows on that. And Big Cat, obviously, Brandon and Kate have already moved. We knew the situation going in. You were my first ask for the show. You and I are pals.

I include myself in it. We are the replacements from the movie. C-scene. Francis, I will say, I think we're a little similar in this way. That we're very tuned in to the comment section.

They don't like me and i i feel i feel bad like i don't i don't want they like you though they like you i think you and that's okay i i don't disagree i don't like me either we have that in common if you guys think uh you hate me i got you better i'll do you one better i fucking hate me nobody hates me more than me trust me i think there's a lot of us yeah yeah so um i'm with you john rich i just uh anyway off we go let's have some fun maybe it'll be great show yeah we we last time we did this it was me greer and gia and
Starting point is 00:06:40 we actually got like pretty decent feedback on the episode from the comment section that's great uh appreciate everyone the comment section for tuning in. Even if you say hate me, that's totally fine. All right. A lot of stuff going on. Donnie is not only did he just get replaced on the dozen while he's at his wedding, but he's getting married tomorrow in Ireland. You're obviously a guy, a married man like myself. Destination weddings are kind of a pain in the ass for people attending, but the expectations are a little bit different.
Starting point is 00:07:12 What do we think about Donnie getting married in Ireland? If you were to get married abroad, did you get married abroad or local? No, I got married in, well, Maine. Not abroad, but. I mean, it's in the continental. It's abroad somewhere. No, it's. Okay, yes, it's in the continental. It's abroad somewhere. No, it's not. Okay, yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:07:28 What would be the nicest place you'd like to attend? Buddy, I think Austria. Austria or Switzerland, maybe. If I were to have a wedding abroad, probably one of those places. And you know why? You know in Band band of brothers you've a fan of i have i have not seen band of brothers my god steven good soundtrack though i did listen to soundtrack you're in for a treat you should start that it's spectacular have you have you
Starting point is 00:07:54 have any of you guys seen band of brothers i've started watching it ross kind of ruins it for me he's out of it quick he's only in is he i've never made it past ross he's only in that first or first two episodes at most i think it's just the first episode but then after... I've never made it past Ross. He's only in that first two episodes at most. I think it's just the first episode, but then after... Well, I've never made it past Ross. He has a small moment very later on, but it makes you feel good because he gets his. Good. You should commit to it.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Anyway, at the end, when they've conquered the Germans in Europe and the war in Europe is over, they go to rest and recuperate in Austria. And I remember the narrator saying, if we thought Switzerland was beautiful, we had no idea once we got to Austria, which was even better. And the scenes of the mountains in the summer, I just think that'd be really cool. Yeah. Congratulations to Donnie getting married. Congrats, Donnie. I met his fiancée many, many years ago in China.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah. Because they were both over there together. Is she Chinese? She's not. No, no. And they were both over there together. Is she Chinese? She's not. No, no. And he's posted her before, so I don't think we're telling tales out of school here. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:10 I mean, I was just asking if she's one of not a billion people in the world. I feel like that didn't narrow it down too much. I wasn't doxing her. I don't know that I follow. No. Seven billion people in the world, six of them are not Chinese. That was how I was narrowing it down. You said. There's 7 billion people in the world. Six of them are not Chinese. That was how I was now. You said one of not 1 billion people.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Anyway, I realize I do that. I get hung up on emails. You do. You do so bad. I just can't help myself. I actually didn't understand what you meant by that. But no, she's a white person. Is that what you meant?
Starting point is 00:09:44 Yeah. Or is she just not Chinese? She could be anything. Is that what you meant? Yeah. Oh. Or is she just not Chinese? She could be anything. No, she's white. She's white. All right. Last time I hung out with Donnie and his...
Starting point is 00:09:54 Fiance? Now wife or still fiance? I think they're getting married tomorrow. Okay. I think. I took far too many mushrooms. What I thought was like a very fun, oh, we're going gonna go have like a relaxing
Starting point is 00:10:05 afternoon sitting by the river and uh and queens right by that big pepsi sign you know beautiful area and it it kind of ruined my life for a few days i i had a terrible performance i could not hold a conversation i went home that night and then for the next three days was extremely embarrassed about my performance that entire day. How long were you with them? A few hours. It was after work on a Friday, so like 6 to 8.39. Okay. I haven't taken much.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Dinner included? Dinner? No, but they had like a picnic. Okay. So drinks were included. All right. So you had long enough to make an impression. Yeah, I made a good impression. I made a rough impression. Hey a picnic. Okay. So drinks were included. All right. So you had long enough to make an impression. Yeah, I made a good impression.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I made a rough impression. Hey, Diego. Yeah. What's the hardest drug you've ever done? Well, if my parents aren't listening, I would say Molly. Wow. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:58 How was that for you? I had taken it a few times. Awesome time. Each time? Yeah. I did it at like Rufus to Seoul. Awesome time. Each time? Yeah. I did it at Rufus DeSole. It was the last time I took it. Forest Hills?
Starting point is 00:11:10 Forest Hills last summer. Yeah, yeah. Awful come down. The next two months were terrible. Two months? Oh, my God. Relax. Maybe not two months.
Starting point is 00:11:17 I'm just kind of a pussy. Yeah, I was just anxious, like super anxious at my other internship all the time. The next two months were terrible that's been pretty good molly that you still remember it as a positive experience when you were on it oh i do it again you paid for it for two months how about you meek uh i have not done drugs of any kind none shout out to you above the influence no weed adderall nope adderall's prescription drug no i still have still a drug but i can see me being or prescribed adhd medication meek do you do you drink yeah you do yeah oh okay frances what's the
Starting point is 00:11:55 hardest drug you've ever done well i feel like you're gonna surprise me i don't think so you know i had a little bit of a Coke phase there But it was short It was very short I haven't done it in probably 12 years now What made you stop? Well I knew some people that got caught
Starting point is 00:12:15 And then arrested And it really impacted their professional trajectory And that spooked me Arrested for doing it or dealing it? For having it yeah Okay Just having it on them. They had large quantities.
Starting point is 00:12:27 No. Not large quantities. That's scary. When it's a small quantity and somebody gets busted. That's very scary. They had just bought some and one of them had like two little bags and the other guy just had one little bag. And that was the difference between the two of them one got hit with felony
Starting point is 00:12:47 possession and the other got hit with misdemeanor possession shit what happens with the felony you have to go to jail he had to you know go to court they both spent the night in jail oh shit yeah that's terrible but then it was it was a much, drawn-out process for the one that had just... And it was... I mean, he was over that threshold by probably two lines or something like that. As a guy who has never done a drug that hard, I've heard that, and I've never done cocaine, I've heard that the first time you do it is the best time by a mile. And then every other time you're chasing that feeling that's every
Starting point is 00:13:26 drug in general yes yeah like i feel like that would be with every drug the first time you do it would be the best time and then it just kind of gets repetitive yeah i mean unless you get like a really shitty version of it and then like the next time you do it you get some like really pure shit well i also think we're we're discounting the experience that you have if you just do coke the first time and sit around with your buddies, you know, jawing to each other until 6 in the morning versus the next time you do it, you go out to a nightclub, you end up making out with some hot babe, and there's a much better experience. You'll probably remember that Coke better. I don't know. I kind of think jawing with your buddies is the best experience same you
Starting point is 00:14:05 can have yeah i hated that i think that was yeah i hated that i'm just giving him like 50 new business ideas like i don't know how you're going to get rich hated that was really we started calling it trap because as for the name of the drug because we had a we had a friend who all he'd ever do is like yo if you guys want to come over i got a little got a little coke like and then we'll go out to the bar because we'd be like going to the bar he's like stop at mine first and we knew if we went there we were never going anywhere else he would trap us he would trap us till five in the morning so that was the trap house just being in a conversation with your buddy yeah like and
Starting point is 00:14:44 you know as soon we'd be like all, we should probably go to the bar. He'd be like, ah, hold on, I got a little more, you know, and he'd line it up or whatever. Oh, no. I guess I'm just a milkman now. I have to. You've got to pour a little on yourself, right? One touch it. No, no, no, just drink it.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Just drink it. All right, let me get the mic out the way. Can you chug that whole thing? Yeah. I'm gonna try. Get the trash can here. No, if I have to puke, I'm running straight to Tank's bathroom. That's alright. That's not gonna make you puke. Alright, the milkman.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Oh, no. Oh, my God. Oh, no. Big slowdown. He's crushing that. Oh, my God. Big slowdown. Yes. Go. Go. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Don't stop. That's going to make you throw up. Oh. It's coming up. It's coming. It's coming up.'s coming It's coming up If he doesn't puke he's a superhero I can't do it here
Starting point is 00:15:48 Oh yeah you can There's so much milk on the chair I don't think he needs to take it that quickly Nobody even asked him to chug it That's kind of his thing now He's walking pretty quickly to the bathroom. I bet he's going to induce it. That'd probably be the smart thing.
Starting point is 00:16:10 That is the smart thing. I don't think you want that much milk in your person. So how did that start? That was just like he was on a show. He was doing like We Gotta Believe and they just gave him milk. Is that right, Zaha? No, they gave him like six cups of water and then one cup of milk. Did he drink all the water before that?
Starting point is 00:16:29 No. Okay. No one has been asking him to chug this milk. Yeah, nobody asked him to do that. All I saw was the yak when he was sitting on here and he got milk on himself. And he said, I'd rather be covered in milk than anything else. Which, that was hilarious. I watched that 15 times or so.
Starting point is 00:16:45 And each time it made me laugh as hard as it had the first time. Tears, tears were falling off my face, falling. I love me. Phil meet me. Phil has a quality. Like there's so many people here at barstool.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Oh, there he is. I saw me when I came in yesterday. Cause everyone here was here early to see for dave he was just sitting outside waiting for dave and dave never showed up like walk in he's just like sitting on the side of the road next to like a homeless guy with his phone ready catch dave but no i was gonna say there's so many people here at barstool who like have like certain qualities that like make them do hilarious shit that like i just don't have like like meek phil
Starting point is 00:17:26 is one of those people he's just he's gonna step in shit every now and then like he's just gonna step in dog shit he's gonna say something stupid about milk and it's hilarious every time like that meek phil every time he's in the show i'm obviously usually in the booth zah just cracks up at everything he says which is it makes in turn makes me laugh. So I love having Meek fill in the show. I don't know. I generally don't know if he's coming back. I did not plan the milk thing. I think he'll be back.
Starting point is 00:17:54 He'll be back. Yeah. That was a lot of milk. A lot of milk. That was probably, if I had to guess, 40 ounces. Quart? A quart's what? 16 ounces?
Starting point is 00:18:05 No, that's a pint. I think there are four quarts in a gallon. There he is. There he is. And nobody told him to chug that, right? 64 ounces in a quart, I think. I think a gallon's 128. Well, then it would be 32 ounces in a quart.
Starting point is 00:18:21 That makes sense, I guess. I don't know. How are you feeling, Meek? Did you actually get it out of your system? Yes, I puked. I just didn't want to do it on camera because I'm not sure if YouTube monetizes that. Oh, wow. Company man.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Business man. Nah, Penn's gone. We can puke forever. Yeah, but Penn doesn't control YouTube, so I'm just thinking ahead. Meek, did you have to induce the vomiting? Did you stick a finger down your throat or anything like that? No, I just let it rip. And the two Viva guys, Cody and Zach, got it all.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Oh, they did? Yeah. All right. I'm sure we're going to be bringing that footage up very, very soon. Do you feel that you have to chug it when people resent you with milk? Yes. Can you not just sip it? I either have to chug it or I have to wear it. You did both. Yeah. Why do you chug it when people resent you with milk? Yes. Can you not just sip it? I either have to chug it or have to wear it.
Starting point is 00:19:06 You did both. Yeah. Why do you chug it? Because I want to get rid of it as quick as possible. He's a showman. He's a showman. You think that's just going to make them bring out more milk? I don't know. Something tells me there's more milk coming.
Starting point is 00:19:21 I hope not. Okay. There probably will will be but i hope not what a warrior that's great i put this topic on the prep sheet and i'd love to get your guys opinion on it what do you think the gay sport is for instance you play a lot of sports basketball famously your eighth best sport that's right boy this a challenge. So what do we mean here? Gayest sport. It's up for interpretation. It's not a hard rule. Wrestling.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Wrestling's pretty gay. Hockey locker room stuff is pretty gay. Why would hockey locker room be different than any other locker room? I don't know. In hockey, you smell worse after you're done practicing okay then you're in like the ice arena locker room and like we would play like shower soccer like all of us naked in the shower we're like kicking a shampoo bottle around i remember one time we were i don't know did you just do gay stuff like like you're tapping your friend's balls with the end like with the end of a nerd's rope plastic thing. I think hockey lends itself to the dominant.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Wait a second. Hold on a minute. What? That was so specific that it definitely happened. No, it definitely happened. I remember my friend Aaron, shout out Aaron, he had really long dangly balls. Everyone knew him as the long dangly balls guy.
Starting point is 00:20:42 And then he was showing them off one day at practice. And one of my other friends, I forget who it was, had like a nerd's rope container. You know how like a nerd's rope comes in like a big plastic thing? He was tapping his balls. And as he was tapping his balls, the whole coaching staff walked in. And it was a very funny thing. Love that. Based on my experience experience hockey's a little gay you don't hear of like hazing incidents with hockey though like with football locker rooms you hear of like you know northwestern and
Starting point is 00:21:15 stuff like that where they're doing like shrek claps and well that was more racist right i i don't know. Was it? Why is there something to be said that maybe in hockey the guys are so sort of discreet that that's why it's not that there's less hazing happening. It's that nobody chirps. No, what I think it is is because hockey,, you smell so bad after you're done playing hockey because you have all that equipment on that from a very young age, you're showering with your friends. And then you get, like, very comfortable in a naked situation around a lot of people. And then, you know, you get to high school. You've already been doing that for a while.
Starting point is 00:22:03 You start fucking around. And, yeah. I think that's what happens with it. Hockey is the most needing of a shower. So the showering starts earlier. That's a pretty good explanation. I could see that.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I thought so. All sports, when you think about it, are kind of gay because it's a bunch of sweaty guys just being around each other, testosterone flowing. I mean, I'd say football is probably very gay because it's a bunch of guys in tights. Yeah. Quarterback center exchange can be putting your hand literally on the balls.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Yeah, and coaches love making jokes like that. Yeah. You get really up in there there like put your hands down dude they love that yeah i don't know i probably say wrestling but yeah i think the argument for hockey is very strong i know i think hockey is the gayest sport okay about the wrestling i don't know about the wrestling world like when you said that that might be well i don't either that might be more i was thinking less locker room, more like actually playing. Like you're in a leotard grabbing other dudes like crotch and legs and like head and like wrapping your legs around them.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Yeah, right. Mantling him. Yeah, I think you're right. I think those are two, unless I'm forgetting a sport, I think those are probably the top two. Fair. Diego, I think this is the first time we've ever interacted yes so what is it that you do here you work on son of a boy dad yes okay so i'm with son
Starting point is 00:23:34 of a boy dad um stool scenes out of order and then i produce uh scumbag golf for marty he's he's hoping for uh an, a full-time offer. And some of the interns have gotten full-time offers. Some have gotten extensions, and some of them are still waiting to hear. Extension on an internship? They've sort of been extended through their senior year of college or something like that.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Okay. And I say this because I like diego a lot and i think he deserves uh an offer if that's what he wants and uh you know putting in a good word or just saying his name a little more is probably a good way to make that happen so let me ask this thank you francis from the outside is the difference from an extension and a job offer like where you are in school like if you're a junior in school like you would i would assume from an extension and a job offer like where you are in school like if you're a junior in school like you would i would assume get an extension and not a job offer yes so there is some so like for example um i'm pretty sure maddie's pretty public that she's going back to
Starting point is 00:24:35 school she's going back to maris so she got extended for the year okay she's going to be doing her content and coming in once a week in the fall when she can and gino is another one who got extended she's going to grad school, but he also is doing vice for management. But then Peyton got full-time. She's on social. So it just varies on – they're all social people that have gotten extended. Is Peyton done with school though?
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yeah, done with school. Most of us are done with school. Oh, really? Okay. I think all the production graduated except one, Caroline. She's coming back next week. Is her last week? All the interns are pretty sweet.
Starting point is 00:25:08 The only person I still hate at this company is Brandon Walker. The interns are all very hot. Can we talk about that? Oh, boy. The interns hired the hottest group of people. Thank you. Oh, boy. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Yes. Is that what we're going for? If that's what we're going for, that's fantastic. You guys did an amazing job. John, tell me how you feel. That's one of those things that was known but not said on A.J. My Coach. Somebody needed to say it.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Somebody needed to say it. I don't know. I don't know that anyone needed to say it. Yeah, somebody did we have a lot of hot interns walking around and every day like new people walk by and i'm like where the fuck did you come from and that's what's going on let's talk about it francis go ahead i'm not touching that one i i know i would agree or disagree i don't i don't i honestly don't know a lot of the interns. Me neither. I just see them.
Starting point is 00:26:06 I see Maddie because she does the board every day. And then Gino. John, why don't you rank them? I don't even know their names. I just see hot people walking by all the time. Make up names for them. French. We already have a Francesca.
Starting point is 00:26:22 You got to have the... I don't know anybody's names. No. If I listed the names... They haven't introduced themselves to me. They haven't introduced themselves to me. If I said the names, would you remember their faces? Like, name to face?
Starting point is 00:26:34 No, probably not. We had a few on the Yak at some point. I think it was, like, maybe intern day where they came in. I don't remember who exactly was on the show but we always have good intern crops i feel like like was it last year that travi was part of that class and like that was like two years that's two years ago two years ago they were 2021 okay anyone jack mack takes under his wing is going to do great just because jack mack is a fucking animal and a workaholic and he's going to just morph them
Starting point is 00:27:05 into a super content person hey john i have a question for you yes and so you don't seem to have much regard for what you're saying why uh why is chris castellani not welcome in chicago i can't answer that there's a reason yes what is the reason i can't answer that. There's a reason? Yes. What is the reason? I can't answer that. Oh. Well, that means it's worse than you calling all the interns hot? No, no, not necessarily.
Starting point is 00:27:40 It's just not my place. It's like Chris Castellani isn't invited to Chicago. I actually don't even know the full reason. But yeah, he's not. I'll play devil's advocate because I don't know. Oh, is he not invited? I actually don't even know if he's not invited, but he said he's not invited. So I'm like, in my mind,

Starting point is 00:56:37 been we're talking about it it'll be a surprise when i do it but like i think that says you have to know what you're shopping you gotta go ring shopping with your girlfriend right well you have to at least know what she wants my girl kind of gave me a vague idea of what she would want but we didn't go to a store and pick one out really it's my girl i guess she's a little more picky she wants to you gotta get the size though at least you know she's gonna say yes when you do it i do i got her friend her friend knew her size okay i think i think girls will convey to friends okay knowing or hoping potentially that the guy will call the friend to get the specs you know we've been pretty open about it like it's been a conversation for a while that's amazing man yeah that's amazing i'm assuming she doesn't listen to the show i told
Starting point is 00:57:26 her i was on it so she probably will oh wow okay well i don't know i was gonna say do you have any plan for how you might want to do it no no not at all i i know we're going to ring shopping soon and then i'm gonna have to like actually yeah i'm gonna have to surprise her what's she won't know what's coming she won't know what's coming what's your budget that's okay so no wait wait so so here's what i said and my girlfriend was like what the fuck i said five thousand and she said what the fuck meaning that's too low i think she thought i that's actually a good question i think she thought it was high oh wow five five thousand that seemed like a lot to me it's supposed to be roughly three months salary. Don't even listen to that bullshit.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Because you might be able to afford... Should I go higher? Should I go higher? Listen, man. I don't know what I'm hearing. Everybody is... Whatever you can comfortably spend... Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Where you say, I want to get her something that you know would mean a lot to her and and i would be proud of seeing on her finger every day but that is not going to ruin our lives financially okay she's definitely all about lab diamonds phenomenal yeah that's so great she doesn't like the whole africa blood diamond right right no nor do nor does nor do i yeah no yeah it's fucked up but but i did it anyway i walked into the diamond district i don't know if you've been up there that place will fuck your face right off is that like by i don't even know where that is it's 47 Yeah. And they start walking you through all the criteria. They're like, you know, color, cut, symmetry, brilliance,
Starting point is 00:59:11 carrot size, how many hands were lost on the child that smuggled this out. Naturally. Of Sierra Leone. And that is all part of what contributes to the cost of it. Yeah. Yeah. We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I'm very interested to hear, obviously, you told your kind of backstory. Phil, I don't know anything about how you ended up here outside of that you were a... Give it up for John Rich, everybody. Give it up for John Rich really quick. Give it up for John Rich. Thank you, Francis. You were a notorious internet troll. Pretty much, yes.
Starting point is 00:59:40 So how did you... Who did you troll? How did you troll? And then how did you get here? Someone noticed you, obviously. Pretty much. I was just big on Mets Twitter for several years. And I think the first Barstool person to ever follow me back was KFC, Clem. Then later on, Jack Mack followed me, Hubs.
Starting point is 00:59:59 More people here followed. And I just got big enough to where i think chuck social followed me and i the last job i had i quit and then a month later i got a dm from chuck saying hey we really like you that you're on the internet 24 7 would you want to work here and then i got an interview with him guys everybody and i got i signed a month later so what were you doing before what did you quit so like a normal like nine to five job or i graduated college in 2020 in the middle of covet obviously i have a degree in computer science i could not get anything with that for two years i worked like different odd jobs here and there
Starting point is 01:00:36 like as a clerk and stuff oh i'm so sorry where'd you go to school on j college nice that's here in long island right or queen city 59th street columbus circle it's for criminal justice justice yeah i went there for computer science okay cool have you asked me if i know anything about computer science anymore probably not because that part of my mind left so but um yeah i couldn't get anything with computer science i worked a bunch of odd jobs i was an electrician summer helper one year because my family's union workers. So it's actually funny. The union actually sent me a letter back saying, oh, you want to do this?
Starting point is 01:01:11 And I was like, I had this four years ago, maybe. But, yeah, I mean, this is my life, I guess. That's how I got here. So when you were, say, you were big on Mets Twitter, were you trolling? Yes, I've known Frank since, like, when he blew up. I got here. So when you were, say you were big on Mets Twitter, were you trolling? Yes. I've known Frank since like when he blew up. Like I didn't know him before he blew up, but like I, me and my mom have pictures of him like talking to him from like 2017. Okay. So when he was Frankie Midnight. Yeah. Like months after the whole, like his rant on New Jersey transit and God bless that day, the New Jersey train was on time that day,
Starting point is 01:01:44 the whole huge butterfly effect of the world being different. What is your relationship with Frank now? Because obviously last year I hated him because he ruined a very fun team. For me this year I don't want to say I enjoy being with him. I do but I tolerate him more this year.
Starting point is 01:02:00 I didn't even ask that. You had the kick. Yeah. The kick. It wasn't even ask that. Because Frank was right. You had the kick. Yeah. The kick. It wasn't intentional. That was me getting mad at the game, and I kicked the chair. That was not at Frank.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Sure. Frank was in the way. That's my story. You can believe whatever you want. I don't know what happened with the kick. You kicked Frank? Yeah, I don't know. It was a game last,
Starting point is 01:02:18 actually, I don't know the date. Well, June 30th, 2022 versus the Astros, where Jason Castro, who, he retired later that year, but it's only home run that season beat us to nothing get drew smith through a slider that uh went to right field
Starting point is 01:02:32 i got very mad and i kicked the chair not realizing frank was up and frank was okay but we were both mad to mets that day sure so the mets are terrible this year correct yeah awful that's why i don't get mad at him when he says that. Okay, so then Frank. And I know it's killing Frank inside to where, like, he can't do the postgame rants because the team's, like, so bad they sold. It's like, it's what you expect now. It's not like last year where they were so good and a loss actually hurt you.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Okay. What's your, in non-baseball season, what drives me, Phil? The other sports. Your big boobs guy, right? big boobs guy right big boobs oh yeah online guy you love how we're doing interrogating that now i mean jokes okay that's why you're such a milk guy right i allegedly uh-huh but uh yeah i mean yeah i see tweets i like them i don't think there's anything wrong with that. No, no, no, no. No shaming here. No shaming here. I mean, there's worse tweets to like out there than... There's worse things to spill on yourself. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Are you finding it's Twitter where you like the boobs? It's on my For You page. Twitter? Yeah. Interesting. I feel like that's the worst place to see hot boobs yeah but they all have but they all have only fans links so the one you see oh you can hit the link you pay for do you know i do not pay for it i don't believe that for a second people interrogate me i do not pay for anyone's
Starting point is 01:03:58 only fans you watch only stands i've watched clips of only stands a very great show shout out Glennie do you know that do you know that a friend of mine is a comedian and he's dating a woman who's on OnlyFans and makes a lot of money and then he does for her her correspondence with her fans yeah she basically like is a manager in a way
Starting point is 01:04:22 DMs them he sends like hey baby are you touching yourself for me dudes and then she gives him like she gives him like 10 percent of her income from it to do that for her and he's like sending nude not nudes but like sexy messages to dudes in her voice i mean as a side hustle while he does comedy that sounds like a healthy relationship incredible yeah that's got to be i i feel like i'm a very secure person and can deal that is that feels wildly emasculating right well i guess he's the only one you know that knows in bed with her at night,
Starting point is 01:05:07 theoretically, and he's just trafficking. Is he in the videos? No, no, no. They don't even know that she has a boyfriend. She's not open about that. Because if they know that, then they wouldn't subscribe. It would hurt her number. And I think that he said to me that a lot of the OnlyFans models, they have someone else doing their correspondence for them because it's exhausting. And that's a big part of what they get like tips, special gifts.
Starting point is 01:05:37 That interaction, the talking to the fan adds a lot of gravy uh gravy on top keeps them subscribed things like that sorry keep me honest here only fans yes sir people are fucking on that right yep yeah so then this woman is not and she's just no you can go to like chat rooms like i believe like you can pay to get in like a private like texting session with the person. But Francis is saying it's just the husband. Just another dude. And I say, if there's anyone out there listening who is a major OnlyFans subscriber and is excited about messaging this,
Starting point is 01:06:17 I just want you to know you might be talking to a broke comedian. You may be jacking off to another dude texting you back. You might be talking to John Rich in a van in LA as he goes back and forth between a bush to find his meth. Speaking of John Rich in a bush, you were just undercover with Will Compton. Speaking of John Rich in a bush. Yes. Well, you were hiding, creeping out on Will Compton. I think you meant to say John Rich in a van because that would have been more apt.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Sneaking around in a bush, hiding behind bushes. Busting with the boys is in oh you're right oh you're right yeah that makes sense okay fair yeah point francis how was that and what is the reaction to that because he with the mincy one he had no idea did will have an idea that this was going on that you were spying on him so So, Mincy had no idea. With Will, I felt like we couldn't. It's a little harder to follow Will around day to day. Because you can't just text Megan making money and be like, Hey, tell Mincy to go here, here, and here.
Starting point is 01:07:17 And then we'll be there at the exact same time. And we'll follow him around and he'll have no idea. Yeah. We maybe could have planned better and made that happen, but we just did it differently. So we did have, I hope I'm not ruining the video for anybody, but I think it was pretty obvious. We had Taylor helping us set it up,
Starting point is 01:07:37 and we had the Bustin' with the Boys people helping us set it up. So the interaction with Will, the confrontation with will was completely genuine like he had no idea we were doing any of that but everything before were like taylor caught me that was staged and um the interviews with like the coaches and the players like they knew it wasn't like staged but like they we told them like hey look we're like making a video for will and the joke is like his career's over so like we kind of told him to like base it off of that yep um and then yeah and then they were all hilarious and i think will was
Starting point is 01:08:18 fucking hilarious i've been a little surprised and maybe this is just me like being Naive about the internet Like people seem to Take it more seriously Than I thought they would As far as like Tommy and Fights for example on the rundown The other day were like Do you realize you just ended Will's career
Starting point is 01:08:40 I was like I don't think I ended Will's career I think it was just like kind of a silly video where like we were poking fun of will and being like hey your career's over you're done which i think are jokes they probably make on that podcast a lot that like yeah it's like maybe if you were better at football your career wouldn't be over yeah exactly anyway that whole thing oh meek phil yeah exactly you could take the troll off the internet but i don't know what the saying is who got it yeah but um but yeah no so that was a whole bit
Starting point is 01:09:15 like what you saw was like it was like kind of a funny joke setup like make it look like will is completely done which i don't even really think is a setup. I think that's like kind of the general consensus is like, all right, Will, I've been doing this for a while. I'm not sure if you're getting back in the NFL. And we're playing off of that joke. Gotcha. What happened with Fasoli? Didn't Fasoli like text him? Fasoli is an absolute crazy person.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Fasoli is, he's a loose cannon and he's so good for me because i'm such a pussy when it comes to like doing certain things like trying to like i don't know like get certain interviews and he like forces me to do it like i couldn't have done that whole thing without fasoli forcing me to do it the whole time but um yeah so i guess after the interview and i don't even know this was happening fasoli texted will and said can you please change your twitter bio to retired nfl player which would essentially be will announcing his retirement kind of i'm assuming so we're gonna get a screenshot of that yeah yeah and whatever like will said no obviously sure but um yeah it's always photoshopped yeah i could be
Starting point is 01:10:34 photoshopped you could do inspect element and do whatever you want yeah it could be photoshopped you could have done that too but anyway will didn't do it. I think me and Will are on the same page for everything. We talked a bunch yesterday, and he took it as a joke the whole time. I know one of his tweets was, I'm just mad I didn't get producer credit. After we interviewed him, we obviously talked to him about everything that's going out. And he was cool with it. He had some some notes and we worked with him a little bit but um but yeah i mean that was about it that was about it i i'm still kind of surprised they let me get that far with that idea like they just let me right like go into the van and tell will his career's over because honestly like who the
Starting point is 01:11:25 fuck am i to tell will his career is over that's insane you're not one of 32 nfl gms like probably have told him that that's insane but whatever it happened the video seems to be getting pretty decent reception probably get to 100 000 views which i think is solid right that's huge man yeah that's fucking great yeah and like and that was a video and that's views which i think is solid right that's huge man yeah that's fucking great yeah and like and that was a video and that's it and i think me and will and taylor we're all on the same page now it's a little hairy yesterday for a second but so is this going to be a series for you like a long run because you did this with mince obviously well i comped in episode two i hope so but the thing is like you can't just like you can only do this in so many
Starting point is 01:12:07 ways like there's only so many people you can do this to and like if you saw the mincy video it was like really like legit we were following him around he had no idea yeah we can't do that with every person at barstool yeah like mincy may be the only person you could do that with i think yeah and and part of me one of my pitches and i guess now that mincy may be the only person you could do that with i think yeah and and part of me one of my pitches and i guess now that mincy's back maybe we could do it was just to do it with mincy every two months just do the exact same video following around mincy every two months and it would probably be hilarious you tell mincy his nfl career is over and he may be shocked yeah exactly and we did have before were doing Will, I probably shouldn't say this, but fuck it.
Starting point is 01:12:47 We were going to do somebody else who no longer works at this company. Okay. I won't say any names. Sure. But we had somebody else who I also thought was like the perfect target. Is that Kelly in Vegas? Kelly in Vegas. You're right.
Starting point is 01:13:03 It was Kelly in Vegas. Okay. Yeah. Is that Kelly in Vegas? Kelly in Vegas. You're right. It was Kelly in Vegas. Okay. Yeah. You're saying someone who probably wouldn't know who you are maybe or like wouldn't recognize you. Yeah. Is what gives you a better shot. It's not even as much about like somebody not recognizing me.
Starting point is 01:13:20 It's like I can put on some glasses. I can wear a little bit of a disguise. It's just like somebody who... This kind of sounds bad. Like somebody you're able to manipulate. Oh. Because like with Mincy, honestly, like we texted Megan making money. We could have had Mincy do anything. Like she just would have been like, hey, like you want to come here?
Starting point is 01:13:42 Yeah, Mincy's the only guy I've ever met who, like that old, don't get into a van with a stranger. He could play both the child getting into the van and the guy in the van. 100%. Yeah, 100%. He's both people at once. But basically we had like, because they wanted like, hey, let's do a series, and we gave them a whole list, and they basically basically said 75 of these were not comfortable with you doing and then there were
Starting point is 01:14:10 three of them that they thought were possible one person we can't do anymore one person was mincy one person was will okay sorry at the end of your rope but i'm sure you'll i know but that's the thing like the will video was so much different than the mincey video that like if we do it again like i think if we like staged some stuff and like made it a little funny i think people would see the video for what it was yeah it's just like kind of like a silly video yeah poking fun of somebody so it depends we're gonna keep doing them but the way we do them every time might be a little different cool um quick plug there's a really good book if anyone is interested about the opioid crisis uh it's called dreamland by sam quinones and um it talks about how uh people transition from opiates to heroin heroin why that happens and also how the drug
Starting point is 01:15:09 cartels uh pushed black tar heroin in towns like columbus ohio um and through the heartland and things like that um as a way of as a way of basically making tons of money in america anyway very very good book if you're interested in that so do you is this on audiobook too it may be it probably is do you count listening to an audiobook as reading a book absolutely yeah some people don't think that oh john's raising his hand okay can i say something that hubbs and nate both just texted me apparently i'm entirely wrong about like why castellani is not working here it has nothing to do with him like blogging and like people not liking him so i apparently have no idea what's
Starting point is 01:15:53 going on with castellani oh i thought that was a good answer though yeah i well i just feel bad because that's because that's what i thought it was and now apparently i'm just entirely wrong so can we get now i feel bad you get. Did you get Nate and Hubs in here? I don't think so. Well, it sounds like they have answers. No? I just think that they know it wasn't them. Oh, okay.
