you the listeners first choice of uh of people to represent the yak we get it okay and you know what
i don't disagree if i were a yak fan and i saw all of us sitting up here, I'd fucking be pissed.
I'd be pissed off.
But you know what?
None of them are here.
No one else is here.
We went deep.
We went deep in the bag.
So we're going to do our best.
We apologize ahead of time,
but we're going to do our best and make it fun.
That's a mean angle.
There are people here.
They're behind the TV. 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
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.
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.
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
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 think you're a funny guy.
You've been on the show before.
I think we can fill some air time together but then i didn't know for just let me add this sure
i didn't know that you had already added all these other people i thought you were still
assembling a squad when i was like how about this person how about that person sure so we talked
about it for a moment and we we brainstormed you and i together didn't have any immediate
answers come to mind you were were like, how about Tommy?
And I said, great.
Yes.
And so I texted Tommy.
I didn't know Tommy wasn't here.
Sure.
Yes.
Yes.
I checked with Tommy.
He's not here.
Yeah.
And so I texted you and I said, John Wrench and Phil?
But you have your texts.
You're on Do Not Disturb.
Am I?
You are.
Yes.
So you're at your desk.
20 minutes went by and i'm like i'm moving
forward with it i'm sorry so i did and then for the last 30 minutes i've heard francis just talk
about what uh what an absolute grab bag of a group this is this is this is unbelievable this is doing
wonders for my confidence yeah it's it's nothing against i include myself in it. 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.
And what people like and what people want to see.
So you very much know when you're going into a situation.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Big slowdown. He's crushing that. Oh, my God. Big slowdown.
Yes.
Go.
Go.
Oh, my God.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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,
something must have happened.
I know like, I know
here, here's what I'll say. I'll know Nate and
Hubs get frustrated with him a lot
okay chris castellani's not invited to chicago because nate and hubs get frustrated with him
a lot that's all i know all i know is i see people getting frustrated with him and then i hear he's
not invited to chicago so i'm just doing like one plus one like there's maybe more to it than that
but like i i don't really know about it good
answer okay i got another follow-up question for you john rich i hear fucking questions francis
why did um why did alex bennett's marriage fall apart jesus christ all right is that official i
saw she made like a statement about it you are friends with her you guys are neighbors no no
we're not neighbors or like live in the general i like alex a lot and i like her her husband or maybe not anymore graham is that i don't know
has their marriage even fell apart i thought she openly was saying it had i i remember she openly
said they were going they were going through it oh then they were having off that why are they
why are they going through it i think alex was
traveling a lot and it was hard for her husband for her to never be there and also he's like a
billionaire so like why would he why would he not just own a woman no not not why would he not just
own a woman but like if he can get any girl he wants and there's somebody who's never there ever.
I heard it was because she wanted to trade
Shai Gilgis Alexander for some more draft picks,
but Graham said,
no, we're building a very good team here.
We don't need more draft picks.
That is the right answer.
This is where they're at right now.
That is it, Meek.
This is a new segment presented by Roback called Answering Impossible Questions on the Yak.
You guys are killing it.
You got any more, Francis?
Give me time.
Come back to me.
I'll have to think about it.
I can't believe you guys didn't get to me on what drugs I've done.
I was going to ask.
You seem like a drug guy.
Meth is insane.
You've done meth? Oh, insane. You've done meth?

meth people so i was like fuck it you know like i'll try it you guys seem cool and here's one
story i'll tell you i was living in the van I got a bag of meth. I did a line.
I snorted it.
And I was like, it was really shitty.
I could tell it was bad stuff.
I didn't feel good about it.
So I'm like, I'm going to go throw this in the bush.
So I walked down from my van.
I threw it in the bush.
Why?
Why the bush?
Because I just wanted to get rid of it.
Was that your trash can? Yeah, I guess. I guess. bush why why why why the bush because i just wanted to get rid of it i don't know it could
have been a trash can yeah i i guess i guess bush was just where i was living in a van i was living
in a van i would take that to the bush i was living in a van taking meth i wasn't thinking
clearly anyway i i put the meth in a bush went back to my van hanging out like two hours later
i start coming down
and it's like oh man there's some meth in that bush
over there
and then you go back and get it you do it again
throw it in another bush
come back
that happened a few times I did eventually
leave it in the bush I did not finish
the bag but I did go back and get it
a couple times
what does it feel like
it's like?
It's like cocaine on steroids or Adderall on steroids.
It's amazing.

it was intentional or was it more of like a – No. Well, I moved to LA.
I got a job in Texas right after college.
I made a good amount of money and I said I'm going to move to LA to do stand-up comedy.
Nice.
Yeah.
And I did that.
And that's when I was living in a van.
I had a car too.
So I was driving Uber, living in a van, doing stand-up, doing meth a little bit.
So you had two vehicles.
Yeah, I did. Yeah, I had two vehicles yeah i did it oh yeah i had no place to
live besides the van no because what i wasn't home that much like why do i need a apartment
when i'm like this is driving lift all day i didn't know this about you you're a journeyman
i'm a journeyman yeah i'm a bit of a journeyman that's amazing how long did you stay up for one year why'd you stop doing that because
i found out that i was better at writing because i started blogging around then and also i was
completely broke and doing a bunch of drugs and i was like dude i can go make like sixty thousand
dollars a year in ohio just working a regular job so i kind of bailed like like i i bailed on that but uh was the
world that you were in the comedy scene in the world of la that was contributing to the math
and the drug use it was honestly it was my buddy cubs like he just also lived me and cubs i might
start doing a podcast with him because he's like the most outrageous person I've ever met.
And he's hilarious.
But he happened to live there too.
And me and him were kind of like, we were together.
Like we did shit all the time.
He came to open mics with me.
Stuff like that.
And yeah.
And then just basically after a year, I just burnt myself out.
And I was like, I should stop doing this and just go home and work a normal job.
And then how long were you in Ohio for?
So I was in Ohio from 2016 to the time I moved here.
So I moved back from my parents in like 2016, lived there a couple years, then moved tous and just lived like a very normal sales job life
with all my friends was planning on doing that for the rest of my life and then
this happened cool man and he was the one that when we did jeopardy jeopardy you made that yeah
i made all the jeopardies yes yeah and you have something that you sent to me and TJ today.
I made another Jeopardy.
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
TJ, do you have that?
Boy, what a great story.
That was a good story, John Rich.
So, this is a game.
I got more, too.
I don't even finish.
I don't even finish.
Oh, keep going.
No, no, no.
Keep going.
I'll save it for a later date.
We can mix it in.
We can come back to Jeopardy.
We'll mix it in.
Let's play some Jeopardy.
Meek and Diego, do you guys have any stuff like that?
I didn't live in a van or do math,
so I don't think I can.
Yeah, yeah.
What have you done?
I live with my parents,
so I don't.
Yeah, I live with my parents.
Go do some math.
What was it like escaping Mexico?
I want to hear that story.
It was nuts.
Yeah.
I didn't escape Mexico.
I was born in Morristown, New Jersey.
Well, so you were told.
To the Jeopardy.
Let's get some Jeopardy going.
So what is this?
It's emoji?
So there's a bunch of different categories, and every question is a series of emojis. And you have to guess what emojis that...
You gotta guess the answer based on the
emojis. Okay.
Interesting. You'll see. It'll make sense.
Cool. So you can start
with whatever you want. I know the answers, so
it should probably be you four who do them.
Okay.
Okay.
You wanna go in teams of two
And then we go you guys
Me and Francis
And then we can make the Bootha team
I think the best way to do it is just rip through it
Oh we can change the number of teams
Okay great
Yeah
Okay
Che you start
I'm going to be terrible at this
Alright
No you'll be good
Let's go athletes for 100.
Oh, Jesus.
This is easy.
Tiger, tree, tree, tree.
Come on, Stephen.
I'm looking for an athlete.
Oh, Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods.
Are you fucking kidding me right now?
I don't know what the scheme is.
You get it now.
Are you fucking serious?
I get it.
Alright, Meek's turn.
Manson.
No, you're up.
I just saw the names on the bottom.
I thought that was the order.
I'll do the way the winners do it at Jeopardy. I'll go athletes for 500.
That's what I was going to do.
Football, I'm just sounding it out now.
Bear Beach.
Football, Pig Bear Beach.

Leather Bear. Cub.
Beach. I have an idea.
I don't know. I fucking pass or give up.
Do you guys have any ideas?
You can steal.
You can steal, then Diego can steal, then Steven can steal.
I'm not stealing because I have no idea.
If I get it wrong, do I lose $500?
No, not on a steal.
Nobody loses $ ever in this.
There's no losing money.
Is this Revis Island?
Maybe.
Oh, Barry Sanders.
Oh, that's it.
Okay.
Hold on a minute.
Where was the beach?
Sand on the beach.
Football was for that.
He was a football player.
Oh, that's what it was?
That's a hard one. That's 500. That's what I didn't understand. That's 500. I don't Football was for that. He was a football player. Oh, that's what it was? That's a hard one. That's 500.
That's what I didn't understand. That's 500. I don't know anything
besides athletes. I thought the name was comprised
of the emoji. Oh, no. It's like clues.
Some of them might be like that.
It's very, like, it's loose.
It's loose. I don't know anything besides
athletes. Give me Athletes 300.
It's harder than the last one
Oh this is super easy
So there's steroids involved
To make your dick small I'm guessing
By the eggplant
Um
I don't know what the first
What's the first one
I can't even see that
The second one looks like a jester.
The first one is a guy dribbling a basketball.
Oh, okay.
I can't make that out from here.
So.
I don't know this either, to be honest.
I made this a long time ago.
It's very easy.
Doc, um.
Oh, I do know.
Right?
Oh. Shit. Doc, um... Oh, I do know. Right?
What the... What am I...
Were you on meth when you made this?
No, that was after the meth.
Okay.
Magic Johnson.
Oh, you didn't get Diego a chair.
No, he asked.
I asked.
I pointed to him.
Okay.
Oh, that's a wizard.
Magic Johnson aids in a dick. That's a wizard. Some AIDS and a dick.
A guy doing magic.
At first, I was thinking,
oh, like Alex Rodriguez, steroids,
and basketball.
Is that a steal for Che?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, that's a steal for Che,
so Che gets those points.
He's going to body this.
I'll do songs 500.
Ooh.
A champagne bottle?
Yeah.
Champagne?
Raining basketball?
Oh, it's that Drake song.
Fuck.
It's got to be that Drake song.
You're close.
It's a Drake song.
Divers?
You got some really big things.
Jump Man, maybe?
No.
Oh, congratulations.
No.
It's Trophies.
No, it's not Trophies.
It's not?
No.
It's an athlete, right?
No, this is a song.
A song, no.
None of you are on it.
You're kind of close.
It's not Trophies?
It's not Trophies?
Forever?
It's not a Drake song.
Oh, it's not?
Oh.
Pop bottles.
Ball with straight shots and then pop bottles.
Oh, no.
Lil Wayne song.
Yeah, I wouldn't have gotten that.
Yeah, okay.
That was maybe a little tough.
I don't know rap music.
I thought it was Lou Will for a minute.
I didn't think about how there were multiple Drake songs that could also fit that emoji.
Let's go athletes for 400.
Golf.
The handicap thing is throwing me a little bit.
I think it's John Daly.
Okay.
There you go.
Steven Che.
John Daly's handicap?
Is he handicapped?
I don't know. Yeah, he would drive around on a cart. There you go. Steven Che. Is he handicapped?
He would drive around on a cart.
All golfers do that.
You know what I'm talking about.
John Daly wouldn't get a cart.
I think it's because he's just such a fucking easy piece of shit.
They just let him drive around on a cart.
He may have a knee issue though.
I think that was old. I think he walks now.
Got it.
I'll go with potpourri for 500.
Oh.
Okay.
You got this.
It's the flag of Italy.
America of Espucci?
No. No.
I don't even know what potpourri is.
It's possible
the Italy flag...
I'll give you a hint, Francis.
It's possible the Italy flag
should be Spain.
That's two very different flags.
If you said
Mexico...
This would be Christopheropher columbus
yes right but i think he's actually italian is he i'm yeah i think he's italian i think he's
but like everyone thinks he's from spain but he's actually italian interesting yeah magellan is
spain yeah um give me movies might be completely. He's actually Mexican. I crossed the border with him.

It's to be hard.
Athletes, 200. That's how Jeopardy works.
Swimming, gold medal.
That's Jewish?
Jewish, yes.
Swimming, gold medal, Jewish.
The only swimmer I can think of is Michael Phelps,

Somebody knows the Jewish one.
I don't.
It's not Lochte, is it?
Nope.
Adam Sandler?
Definitely not.
Did he ever swim in a movie?
Mark Spitz.
He won a shitload of gold medals.
He had the record.
In the 80s, right?
Yeah, something like that.
He didn't swim with a bathing cap or anything.
He just went out there with his big mane of hair.
Really?
And broke all the records.
That's cool.
I think this is the best Jeopardy I've ever made.
I've got a lot of them. I like this one a lot.
I'll do food and drink
for 100.

Very good.
Actually, the movie was pretty good, too.
The movie was good, too.
It was really... It was solid.

By the way, quick aside.
I may be really stupid for this, but I only just learned that The Lion King is an allegory for Hamlet.
Did you guys know that?
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Did you guys know that?
And it makes so much sense.
I hadn't even thought about it.
It was kind of a rip-off.
Yeah.
Really.
It was a great idea.
And it all makes so much more sense now.
It's so good.

Nice job. That's a good one, actually.
That is a really good one.
Yeah, that's a good one.

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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
All right.
Sorry, I didn't mean to disrupt that.
I'm not trying to stir up feathers, even though that's exactly what I'm trying to do.
