0:08

hello, welcome back to another week

0:11

of Barstool Radio. It is Monday, January 29th.

0:16

That song's kind of a banger. I know, it is. Is

0:18

it the 29th? I thought it was the 28th and I

0:20

just looked at it. It's 29th. It's 29th, yeah, but

0:23

I had to double check. Monday

0:25

the 29th. Just recalibrate my Rolex. Yeah,

0:27

yeah. Exactly three months before my birthday.

0:29

Oh my God, happy almost 9 12th birthday. Yeah,

0:32

no, three fourths. Yeah, yeah. Last

0:35

set a month away from my birthday. Nobody

0:37

cares. Soon. Right

0:41

now it's a birthday. Happy birthday, Stefan.

0:43

Happy birthday, Stefan. Seven's in Chicago. Who

0:46

cares? Who cares? It's my three fourth

0:48

birthday. Oh

0:52

good. Okay. Okay, do that. Also, you're you're echoing out

0:54

of somebody else's mic by the way, Nick, but I

0:56

like that. I like that initiative you're taking to get

0:58

Stefan hair plugs for his wedding. Happy birthday, Stefan, and

1:01

hopefully you get hair plugs for your wedding out

1:03

of the go fund me, but wait,

1:06

Kel. Yeah, did you know that

1:09

Turkey is where men go to

1:12

get their hair plugs? Yes, I did. Yes, I did,

1:14

but it's a double-edged sword. A lot of

1:16

people are doing it and it sounds great, but also you

1:18

run the risk of getting a kidney swiped out at the

1:20

same time. That's all a I don't know

1:22

if it is. That's all a myth. I

1:24

spoke to doctors about that. Oh, you did.

1:26

That that that sort of what's it called?

1:29

Marilyn Manson took a took his rib out to

1:31

suck his own dick. Yeah that that you know,

1:34

what was it called when there's a lie? Oh

1:36

Urban Urban Legend Urban Legend when someone

1:38

wakes up in a hotel bathroom. They

1:42

don't know what's going on. They're in a

1:44

bathtub full of ice and their you know,

1:46

kidneys have been removed on the black market.

1:49

That's not possible. It

1:51

turns out you can't

1:53

listen people are telling me. I'm just I'm hearing what I'm

1:55

hearing. What do you mean? It's not possible.

1:57

That's not how a kidney removal.

2:00

like can be done you'd need to go

2:02

to a proper you first of all they

2:04

I think they said like you wouldn't survive it none

2:07

of this is how thinking logistically of course that

2:09

sounds fucking insane you don't get put under for

2:11

a procedure on your head it's probably not even

2:14

the same kind of anesthesia like it's probably not

2:16

the same amount of time like whatever it is

2:18

you could figure it all out but I think

2:20

that you go under for

2:22

that's a little surprising yeah but

2:24

it's like you have yeah it's because

2:27

it's invasive it's they go in and

2:29

they they place follicles inside of your

2:31

existing like the pores in

2:33

your head that are that once held hair

2:35

they put it in there they put the

2:37

solution and it grows like hair grows back

2:39

they move hair from other places and put

2:41

it back like your existing

2:43

follicles and put it back into the dead follicles

2:46

that's how it works I'm told that

2:48

the price of a hair transplant surgery

2:50

in Turkey is one-fifth or even less

2:52

that's everybody's cost of doing it in

2:55

America and that when you fly Turkish

2:57

Airlines home you'll see lots

2:59

and lots of American men wearing like bandages

3:01

all over their head on the floor she

3:04

bald man on

3:06

the way there yes bandaged men back

3:08

and people get like nose

3:10

jobs in Turkey a lot oh they do yeah

3:12

I guess just plastic surgery in general is a

3:14

lot cheaper yeah I don't know what that's all

3:16

about I do know that our

3:18

guy Tony Romo had hair plugs

3:21

oh yeah oh okay I don't

3:25

know what's going on in that front hair so I hadn't seen him in

3:28

a long time and

3:30

I thought tell me the first time I'm seeing

3:32

him was yesterday during the Chiefs

3:35

Ravens game which we will get into

3:37

momentarily but I saw

3:39

him and I was like first of all who the fuck is

3:41

that his face looks totally different I don't know if you got

3:44

filler in his cheeks maybe but then I noticed his hair I

3:46

said oh he definitely got hair plugs his hair used to be

3:48

so thin like I remember it being like a part of it

3:51

googled it he has spoken out about his

3:53

hair journey and oh yeah for him

3:55

good for him he looked at it on it you gotta

3:57

own it if you're a public person you have to own

3:59

it are gonna know he's in like the I

4:01

think I don't know if he's in the in-between but you can

4:03

tell up front a little bit at the moment but you know

4:05

not to not to point it out before the big day for

4:07

the Super Bowl he's announcing it when Tony

4:10

Romo become like the guy with Jim Nance forever

4:12

like has he is it just about two of

4:14

them like they're the two years ago maybe

4:16

yeah no maybe more than probably longer than

4:18

that at that point but I've been like five or six years

4:20

well good for him people

4:23

are people have been hating on them a lot

4:25

recently really seeing that yeah I mean cuz like

4:27

when Romo first came in the game he was

4:29

like predicting every single player yes I was there

4:31

in 2018 so it's at least six

4:34

years like I think the Chiefs Pats AFC Championship

4:36

in 2018 he was predicting every play it

4:38

was like this guy's a genius and now

4:40

people like Tony Romo is fucking annoying they

4:42

say that it's the vibe I mean this

4:44

is one article

4:47

I read that it's the vibe of a

4:49

grouchy uncle as like his nephew trying to

4:51

crack a lot of jerks but like I kind of like

4:53

the guy's up in the balcony in the Muppets

4:56

that's what I think of yeah are you

4:58

ill yeah are you fucking kidding me I'm

5:03

sorry I'm ill too yeah everyone in

5:05

this office is ill oh no oh

5:07

no okay Phil was patient zero yeah

5:09

I'm sorry I was

5:12

thinking about this yesterday when I was I'm not bad

5:14

anymore I had my worst of it was last week

5:17

yeah I was sick last one day

5:19

Friday yes I have already done my

5:21

fucking time I've had the cold twice

5:23

you had it for you have for

5:25

I don't want it again I'm done

5:28

sick of this shit I think that's

5:30

fine Francis I also was sick at the first week

5:32

we got back and then I got better and everyone

5:34

got me sick again it's fucking insane this place is

5:36

like a is like a daycare like everyone

5:38

making out and and you know

5:40

everybody's sick and I think it's cuz we all talk

5:42

on the same microphones and whatever but I like the

5:45

whole place is the whole place is down right now

5:47

so there's also like a standard because if you come

5:49

into work and you're sick and you're like coughing into

5:51

the mic people like eww that's disgusting like don't call

5:53

them like you're so gross but then if you don't

5:55

come into work people are like oh my god you

5:58

don't work at all you're yeah exactly well done Welcome

6:00

to my life, too. Welcome to my life. But

6:02

throw some Ls in the chat. Because-

6:06

For my cough. For my cough. But

6:08

also, we are about to talk about Taylor Swift, and

6:10

there's nothing anybody can do to stop me. And yeah,

6:12

because the Kansas City Chiefs

6:15

have won the AFC Championship and

6:17

are going to the Super Bowl,

6:19

which means that Taylor Swift will

6:21

be at the Super Bowl. And

6:25

anything, any like bad

6:28

vibes that I've had, you know, I had

6:30

going into the weekend, I was like, oh

6:32

man, I don't know, like bad vibes weekend,

6:34

whatever, have been completely turned around and I

6:36

have faith in the world again. And I'm

6:38

so happy that this is happening because people

6:40

are fucking pissed. And it just makes me

6:42

happier. It makes me feel more powerful. I'm

6:45

embarrassed to ask, has she done

6:47

a halftime show yet? No. And

6:50

she refuses. They asked her- Did you

6:52

imagine- They've asked her like nine times. She

6:55

had done this Super Bowl halftime

6:58

show. I think that's like the

7:00

only way that the faceless suits

7:02

could have pulled the puppet strings

7:05

better on the bureaucracy, which coax-

7:07

They asked her. They begged her. She

7:09

said no. And also she

7:11

has, she starts back up her

7:14

tour that same weekend. She's in

7:16

Tokyo, Japan, and she's there the

7:19

seventh, ninth and tenth, and the tenth is

7:21

a Saturday. She will be finishing her concert

7:23

and then getting on a plane and coming

7:25

back in time for the Super Bowl in

7:28

America on Sunday in Las Vegas.

7:30

What a hero. I know. And so

7:32

I'm just really looking forward to it. What a trooper. I

7:34

think that she went on the field. Gia and

7:36

I are going to talk about this at length

7:38

on Taylor Watch if you guys are interested, but

7:41

I just can't believe how fucking famous this person

7:43

is and how this all kind of played out.

7:46

I watched the whole game yesterday. It's just crazy

7:48

that she's the most famous person in the world

7:50

and he's the best. He's like the best right

7:52

now. It's crazy. They let him give a little

7:54

speech, fight for your right to party, whole thing.

7:57

You hated that. Oh, I hated it. How does

7:59

he do that? Well, I hated it when he did it

8:01

last year or whatever. Or last time he did it, I hated it. So you

8:03

did it when they won the Super Bowl. It's so cringe.

8:05

That was my first, when he did it at the

8:07

Super Bowl, that was the first time I ever knew

8:09

who Travis Kelsey was and I said, who's this asshole?

8:11

And then from there on, I was like, uh. But

8:14

I, you

8:16

know, now that we know him, I understand. And it's

8:18

more of like, all right, ha ha, they're

8:21

a bunch of bros, they're doing their thing, I'm

8:23

not gonna steal their shine or stomp on their

8:25

shine because they just won that fucking game. In

8:28

terms of football, I

8:30

brought Tommy on, not as the only sports person,

8:33

but just so Francis doesn't have someone else that,

8:35

you know, Gia knows too, but I know nothing

8:38

about the game itself yesterday. I watched the whole

8:40

thing and as far as I can tell, as

8:42

a person who knows nothing, the

8:44

Ravens just choked, I think. Yes, but.

8:47

Everybody said how good they were. Let

8:50

me ask you this. Are

8:53

you two not getting a little tired of it

8:55

too? No, of what? Of

8:58

the shoving them front

9:00

and center, of making them the

9:02

fucking show. The only thing I'm sick of

9:06

is people blaming Taylor Swift for anything that has

9:08

to do with anything, you know what I mean?

9:10

All right, then you can't give her credit for the money

9:12

also. Let me ask you. I saw it to be like

9:14

that too, Tommy. There was, yes, but. You didn't think of

9:17

that idea originally. Oh, I know, yes I did, what are

9:19

you talking about? Me and you. That's

9:22

not the most original thought in the world.

9:24

I think that she, her having his

9:26

back is

9:30

invigorating for the team. It's nice to have

9:32

the star power. You can't actually. To have the attention.

9:35

Yeah, I think that she's extremely supportive

9:37

and I think that she's performed well

9:39

with all eyes on them. She had like

9:41

a, let me be clear. I was very

9:43

much when people were blaming Taylor Swift for

9:45

them playing poorly. I thought that was ridiculous.

9:47

Yeah, that's right, that's crazy. But

9:50

you legitimately believe she's had a positive impact on the

9:52

team? Yes, I don't think

9:54

that she, it's not the same. You think that you

9:56

deserve some credit for them being in the Super Bowl?

9:58

No, no, absolutely not. What are you talking about?

10:01

I think you're asking has she had a positive impact

10:03

on the team morale wise? Sure. She's

10:05

the most famous person in the world. She's showing up their

10:07

games. She's cheering them on. Everyone's paying attention. They perform well

10:09

in the spotlight. What's wrong with that? Do you

10:11

think it's support? It's the same thing as if you

10:14

were doing something and like Dave and Dan showed

10:16

up. You feel better about what you're doing over

10:18

there. Yeah. I mean,

10:20

maybe Travis himself. I think the Chiefs just won because

10:22

they're just a fucking unbelievable team. No, of course they

10:24

won because they're an unbelievable team. I'm

10:27

just saying that it's nice when someone

10:29

of such stature supports you and

10:31

despite the fame is willing to do

10:33

all the things like go on the

10:35

fucking field and kiss her boyfriend and

10:37

do whatever and show that she like

10:40

is into it. Wow. She

10:42

repelled down from her little sky

10:44

box and dared to

10:47

venture out without pads onto

10:49

the gridiron. Well, if her danger is so

10:51

dangerous, I feel like you guys are downplaying how fucking

10:54

she's had a stalker arrested three

10:56

days ago. Yeah. I

10:59

mean, I don't see. Look,

11:02

I'm not anti-Taylor. I

11:04

think she obviously she is the

11:07

bigger star and that

11:09

Travis Kelsey is

11:11

gaining so much stature,

11:14

probably endorsements, all this

11:16

shit from his high profile relationship.

11:18

She can end up being like the rock after

11:20

his career. Yeah. For sure. He's

11:23

like, he wants to do acting. I

11:28

also think, let's not kid ourselves

11:30

that she is certainly aware of

11:32

the PR benefits of

11:35

dating a very beloved high

11:37

profile pied in. You're so far behind on

11:39

the times with this. We had this argument.

11:41

Oh, okay. Well, then let's move

11:44

on. Honestly, I'm sorry. I am behind. Yes.

11:46

Okay. So that's like a six

11:49

month old argument where in the world does Taylor Swift

11:51

need Travis Kelsey for editing for the PR? Why

11:53

does she keep coming to the games? She

11:56

loves her boyfriend. I think it's funny. I think

11:58

it's because having fun. Yes, she

12:00

brings her best. Fun to go to a football game.

12:03

Totally. And I think she's realized like, like, oh my

12:05

God, wait, this is actually such a fun thing to

12:07

do because she's never gone to any professional sports game.

12:09

No, no, this is the first time. So anyway,

12:11

so Taylor Swift aside, I think

12:13

that that people can

12:16

now like, I love that they won

12:19

for two reasons. One, I think that they work really hard. Obviously they

12:21

won the fucking game. But I also think too,

12:23

that I love the amount of

12:25

people that are pissed off about

12:27

like not, you know, they put their money

12:30

where their mouth is, you know, for instance, what were you going to say?

12:32

I think if the chiefs win Travis Kelsey is

12:34

going to propose. No way. No,

12:36

I think on the field or

12:38

Swift does not get to propose to us. So tacky.

12:42

Watch. So tacky. Watch. If that happens, then

12:44

I will be someone who's like, all right,

12:46

this might have all been fucked. No, I

12:49

agree. I might start raising eyebrows. I would

12:51

not think a super bowl. Buying a ring

12:53

right now. Maybe they'll be aged around

12:55

the time, but no, I really don't.

12:58

They've only been dating for like

13:00

five months. It's happening. It's fucking

13:03

happening. It's not happening at the Super Bowl. There's

13:05

not that to me is just like, all right,

13:07

you want to put a bet on it for

13:09

us? I do. There you go. And I have

13:11

to have better odds because less

13:13

likely than not. Okay. So

13:16

if she does, if, first

13:18

of all, it won't happen if they lose.

13:21

Okay. It won't happen if they lose. That would be

13:23

ridiculous. If

13:25

the chiefs win, I think Travis Kelsey

13:27

is going to propose on

13:30

the field. On the field. Let's just

13:32

say that night. Okay. Can you give

13:34

me that? Sure. I think it could

13:36

be your thing afterwards at a after

13:38

party. There will be fucking cameras around.

13:40

I can guarantee you that much. No,

13:43

I think that they will have a very intimate engagement.

13:45

He's not going to do it on

13:47

a beach where some paparazzi with a

13:49

telephoto lens hidden in shrubbery somewhere distant

13:52

catches a hazy, yeti

13:54

like photo of him taking a knee. I think

13:57

they might go to like outer fucking space, you know, like let's

13:59

get a picture. as far away as we can. Yes,

14:02

well he's gonna get her a ring that we

14:04

will be able to see from some other nebula

14:06

show. Although that's not really her vibe. Like her

14:08

vibe isn't, I mean she loves to be jeweled, we

14:10

know that, but she, I don't think she

14:12

would run around wearing like a, Be

14:14

jeweled. Like a eight carat

14:16

diamond, you know what I mean? Like

14:18

a 10 carat, like Kim Kardashian style

14:20

diamond. Like she would never, that's not

14:23

really her thing. She'll buy a conflict

14:25

free, you know, diamond that offsets the

14:27

bourbon footprint from her private jet travel.

14:30

Exactly. Yeah, so everybody's pissed

14:32

off. I loved, I saw this

14:34

morning, somebody tweeted, shout out to everybody on

14:36

Rumble right now. Someone

14:38

tweeted, hold on, I sent it

14:40

to my dad. Obviously.

14:43

It said, Fox News tweeted, touchdown

14:45

Taylor Swift lands in Baltimore ahead

14:47

of AFC Championship. Jet belches tons

14:49

of CO2 emissions. And someone said

14:51

Taylor Swift is so powerful that

14:53

you know it's Fox News finally admitting climate change is

14:55

bad. I think it's

14:58

hilarious. I mean, I

15:00

like, when it's like Leonardo DiCaprio being like, oh

15:02

fucking, you know, complaining about climate change takes private jet.

15:04

That's obviously a bit critical. Does Taylor Swift say anything

15:06

about climate change? No, she says something. Yeah, so like

15:08

yeah, fine, take your private jet. Never said a single

15:11

thing about it. Like if she was like preaching about

15:13

it, like

15:15

oh, we gotta save the environment. Never once. Maybe she doesn't give

15:17

a fuck about the environment. She's like, yeah, I'm taking these private

15:19

jets. So then they'd be like, go off, Queen. I

15:21

kinda, I love that, well you hate the

15:24

environment. Yeah, you hate the environment. Speaking of kind

15:27

of that. You mean you hate

15:29

the environment? I'm not into

15:31

the global warming stuff and all that. If he doesn't believe

15:33

in climate change, okay. I like when it's, I just like

15:35

when it's warm in the winter. I know, I believe it.

15:37

I just, I root for it. No, no, you want kind

15:39

of root for it. Yeah, I hope it's real and I

15:41

like when it's warm in the winter and the effects of

15:43

it will not have any effect on me. This

15:46

conspiracy theory that I've been in on, I saw a poll

15:48

that 1 5th

15:50

of Taylor Swift supporters

15:53

or maybe 1 5th of, 1 5th of

15:55

Taylor Swift supporters would vote for whoever she

15:57

endorses in the presidential election.

16:00

if she did oh yeah yeah I switch

16:02

so what they're doing what they're doing the

16:04

NFL they set this all up we're gonna

16:06

have Taylor date Travis they're gonna you know

16:08

date the whole year we're gonna put Taylor

16:10

on a liberal like that he's ever been

16:12

before and then in October when she's at

16:14

her top oh I endorsed Joe Biden one

16:17

last one last thing in their playbook what

16:19

do we have a seat like a Democrat

16:21

is he no beer he's not imagine he's

16:23

a Trump guy if I had to take a guess really

16:25

I do I think vaccine guys took money so they can't I don't

16:28

think he has many

16:31

political opinions I'm sure he's so yeah I've rolled

16:33

physically conservative just like everybody that you he's gonna

16:35

do whatever she tells him to do because she

16:37

pegs him yeah maybe maybe he's

16:39

like a bro from like rural Ohio yeah

16:41

I bet he I bet he's like I

16:43

like this guy got a little bit of

16:45

that going on I don't know though Travis

16:47

I don't know I disagree I

16:49

think that he I think

16:52

he's he's thinking else otherwise

16:54

I don't

16:57

think he's thinking a lot about politics although yeah no

16:59

I don't you know cares about it's hard to say anything

17:01

about people with money because it's like it's a totally different

17:03

thing when you have money like that she saw

17:05

the same color as the MAGA hat oh

17:07

true true shit it was the inspiration large

17:10

accent big Trump guy he just went down yesterday tweeted

17:13

a Trump no shit really yeah wow before

17:15

after the game what this is like this oh

17:22

sorry sorry oh no no well when did people find out you

17:24

say you tweeted it out yesterday no you know

17:26

I do I want to talk for real about the game a little

17:32

bit though is that crazy no I want to

17:34

talk about that I have a couple questions can

17:36

I ask them sure yeah borrowing people

17:38

probably go fucking football but I mean I watch

17:40

a lot of football okay I'm a tickler well

17:42

no I wouldn't ask questions that that you need to know in

17:44

depth would she say I have a tickler file

17:46

every every week I watch football this year I wrote

17:48

down notes of things oh okay

17:51

it's tickler like keep that in

17:53

your tip put that in your tickler file I've never heard

17:55

that never heard is it like an

17:57

app or that's like it oh I

17:59

do it my notes app. Your

18:02

tickler? I put things in my notes

18:04

app as well but I don't call them tickler. No,

18:06

tickler file is a term. Put that in your tickler file.

18:09

That's a very common phrase. I thought I was going crazy

18:11

for a second. No, it's very common. No one else on

18:17

the panel, not even Harvard over here knows. I'd

18:19

never heard of it. It's one of those regional

18:21

things probably. It sounds like the Diddle file. We're

18:23

all from the same region. It's from New Jersey.

18:25

No, I'm from Chicago. We got a spread of

18:27

people back here. Where's Stenkel from?

18:30

How many people in the booth have heard of a

18:32

tickler file? All of you. It's not for

18:34

Diego. It does sound like the hard drive

18:37

that you would hide like Epson. No, totally.

18:39

It sounds like a... Ocea of options. Sounds

18:41

like where a Diddler would put

18:43

his way

18:46

to camouflage a trove of child pornography. It's

18:48

really weird. It's my tickler file. Which tickler

18:50

am I spending time with today? That's

18:53

so bizarre. Just because the word tickle

18:55

is just so weird to me. I hate it.

18:57

Disgusting. I wanted to borrow though a segment

19:00

from our friends over at New Heights, Jason

19:03

and Terriella's Kelsey's podcast. New News?

19:06

No. I love New News.

19:08

No dumb questions? No dumb questions is what I want

19:10

to bring up. I want to ask a serious question

19:12

of there was a little bit of

19:14

beef going into this game. The Chiefs came out

19:16

on the Ravens field to start practicing. Oh yeah.

19:19

Ravens kicker was already out there. Just

19:21

Tucker. Justin Tucker. Best kicker

19:23

ever probably. Cool. That's

19:26

all happening. They come out and they start fucking

19:28

with him and throwing his little thing away. I

19:30

was just curious

19:33

why... It seemed friendly. It seemed friendly. Everyone made

19:36

such a big deal out about that. I don't

19:38

know. The one with

19:40

Mahomes definitely seemed friendly. He threw it on the

19:42

thing. So why do they have to be so

19:44

close to each other? Why can't they practice on

19:48

the other side of the field? I mean you do practice

19:50

on the other side of the field. If I Had to

19:52

guess maybe something with the kicker. Yeah because you're kicking on

19:54

their side. People are saying something about the wind that they

19:57

get to kick on both sides and I was like oh

19:59

that makes sense. When he comes over to

20:01

the Chiefs side. He.

20:03

Are probably starting on that side like scoring on that

20:05

side so he probably want to kick on that side

20:08

because. The Wind or whatever where they would indonesia

20:10

until the coin toss but you know is no

20:12

no no Yes people were saying that that they

20:14

kick on both sides drop a game that some.

20:16

People were saying that that you kick that you kick

20:19

both sides in Ottawa. To. Practice and sounds

20:21

like okay but to me I was like I'd that

20:23

she's the coming out here and your jesus right up

20:25

in their kitchen like and everybody's like it's his house.

20:27

He could do it he wants and I was like

20:29

i think that's he was already there though this where

20:31

they came out and nice is still there. It seems

20:33

like it seems like little girl said and I wanted

20:35

to know about. It I saw a couple videos.

20:37

I thought it was just like go about

20:39

their to Soccer North. Of. Where I live

20:42

in a room at? I don't know. I

20:44

mean maybe I took it as the cheese

20:46

being like get the fuck outta here. Yeah

20:49

I know that homes get a didn't like assassin.

20:51

It was databases. Or is as it is.

20:53

I was extremely. Thing know it's Aroma Homes did

20:55

just took a team birds are gross out

20:57

on with it. then we kept duty my

20:59

billie or will he turned his head after

21:01

setting up the T thing again and then

21:03

more homes didn't me look back and and

21:06

is you know he's a little kicker he's

21:08

not gonna. He's not kinda

21:10

like I'm are so his goons to

21:12

come. they'll sit under it's also. I

21:14

think over the past couple weeks is kind of

21:16

been proven that that is kind. Of of

21:18

a crybaby like a big child's her

21:20

out of there are unskilled version of

21:22

pattern. Of course there is a competitor

21:24

he's very good. The Hitler's think after

21:26

the whole tap Tony Tony only under

21:28

the mood the Bills game was Doc

21:31

Rivers complaining about the of your when

21:33

he when you were on ago and

21:35

answer yeah that my baby earth that's

21:37

competitive spirit that says yeah I want

21:39

a guy I will be. Piss off to

21:41

the like. At a certain point I had to let it

21:43

die because you know you're in. The wrong. You.

21:45

Know what I mean. Like Lloyd free

21:47

Watts the job and see that he

21:49

was blatantly Alcides. Yeah, that that was.

21:51

That was. agree. I thought I was

21:53

going to be his maybe Steph Curry

21:55

mouth guard moment were rumors and stuff

21:57

korea ideas and with mouth guard and.

22:00

Everybody was like, fuck this guy, we hate stuff.

22:02

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It seems like Moms,

22:04

he's just too good. The facade kinda cracked

22:06

a little bit. Yeah, I don't mind frustration

22:09

in the slightest because I cannot control

22:11

my emotions in most scenarios. I think

22:13

that sometimes you just

22:16

freak out. You gotta let it fly. Tommy,

22:18

I think you're wrong. I

22:20

think that the chiefs have fallen

22:22

out of public favor. Oh, they

22:24

have. And that they're- What? They

22:27

have a little bit, but become the

22:29

Patriots. The rest of the country, they're so

22:31

good. But it's become a rest of the

22:34

country's sick of them. It's become now, I

22:36

think, I think I noticed that after

22:38

the Bills and... I

22:40

think the chiefs were hated earlier this year.

22:43

And after the Bills win and the Ravens win now,

22:45

it's just gone to respect them. I

22:47

also think people hate the Tigers more. I don't know

22:49

that. I think it's a hate, but it's the same

22:51

thing. It's like you said, the way that people hated

22:53

Brady and the Patriots.

22:55

But it was a hate, but it was a respect. But

22:58

I think that there's more discounting of their wins

23:00

than there is actual respect. I think people are

23:02

going to continue to say- Oh, the chiefs, I

23:05

don't think so. That they're getting all the calls

23:07

and that there's a bigger thing at play here.

23:09

Yeah, a little, I mean, yeah, there are those

23:11

people who are like, oh, the NFL just wants

23:13

them in the Super Bowl, blah, blah, blah. But

23:16

I think that Mahomes specifically is like, nobody

23:18

is at any point like, oh,

23:20

he's overrated. No, I don't think so.

23:22

No, agreed. But it's like Steph Curry

23:24

when Kevin Durant was on the Warriors.

23:28

Up to that point, everyone loved the Warriors. They

23:31

couldn't believe that this guy who revolutionized the

23:33

game, playing it his way, had

23:35

ushered a team to beat the fraud. It's

23:37

Taylor Swift, the chief of Kevin Durant. That's a

23:39

good point. Ooh. Very much so.

23:41

Interesting question. It's like they had it all

23:43

already, they're winning championships and then you go

23:46

get fucking Taylor Swift. If Taylor Swift were

23:48

dating our tight end, we'd be there too.

23:50

Why did Taylor Swift have to go join a team that

23:53

had just won the Super Bowl? Did she not want a

23:55

challenge? Right. She was referring the Super Bowl

23:57

to a city that was starving. Maybe Her next boyfriend. Maybe

23:59

her next boyfriend. Right Or submit

24:01

A Fucking David and Joko on the

24:03

Cleveland Browns Iowa today Sam a port

24:05

on the Cia enabling joke who I

24:08

don't think she's flying home from Japan

24:10

for that matter of opinion on I

24:12

mean that advantage. I think I

24:14

think any of these gentlemen with has

24:16

an equal an Eagles hands with Taylor

24:18

as Travis as they went to. I

24:21

hit Sequencing a.com and got themselves the

24:23

Twenty Four. Fold rose

24:25

for her for Valentine's Day which is coming up

24:27

on as guy so this this is an ad

24:29

sales and soon as I target and he can

24:32

even tell but it he got i hate you

24:34

can sing A.com He can get yourself a lot

24:36

of these roses right in front of me. They're

24:38

looking so beautiful and others rather think we haven't

24:41

talked. Mother's Nonstop is sponsoring. So for a

24:43

couple of weeks. Up until downtown say I'd

24:45

rather have on to. Own.

24:47

A computer saw that herself on. The.

24:51

So nice. That I

24:53

had see the singer.com for these. Adding the furthest

24:55

are going home a yoga Roses? Yeah,

24:57

well sorry Francis here out. Oh.

25:00

No, I have to go home. So

25:03

I lived in the status of really really

25:05

good On Found has a gift for anybody

25:07

in your life sitting on dollars i hate

25:09

seat and singer.coms Go Go Go Up! And.

25:11

Figure it out on but I also

25:14

think that you guys are not realizing

25:16

and I'm excited to break the news

25:18

to I probably Tommy and Francis who

25:20

aren't connecting all the sauce is that

25:23

Not only do people believe that this

25:25

cheese super is. Calculated.

25:28

Create A by the Nfl, You

25:30

know, Whatever Taylor says on Cbs,

25:32

the Forty Niners winning is equally

25:34

suspicious because as you guys know

25:36

that there is a and like

25:38

us the same thing happening over

25:40

in the Forty Niners with Olivia.

25:42

Call Bow and what's the save?

25:44

So much Africa. Mccaffrey, And

25:46

then we have pile Usac and

25:48

his wife. Or on are

25:50

over there are drugs and. It's a

25:52

lot of retire. with me and same

25:55

thing is. As like Taylor and Travis.

25:57

What high profile were getting? Your high

25:59

profile, I mean, Taylor Swift put a- It's

26:02

been a whole series. Olivia Kolpo looked like a fucking joke. No,

26:05

no, for sure, for sure. But

26:07

I'm saying that Olivia Kolpo

26:09

and Kristen Juszczuk and

26:11

Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift are bringing

26:14

in the female audience that they're looking

26:16

for, okay? And Kristen

26:18

Juszczuk is the one that keeps making all of

26:21

the custom clothes for the wags. So

26:25

NFL this year, if I've

26:27

learned anything, is they will

26:29

stop at nothing to incorporate

26:31

women. And I think that

26:33

having two high-profile sets of wags

26:35

for the Super Bowl doesn't just spell

26:37

any- They made Alex Earl date Braxton

26:39

Barrios. Alex Earl's dating Braxton Barrios. Yeah, they held

26:41

her at gunpoint to do that. And the Dolphins

26:43

won pretty far. I heard about

26:45

the Dolphins more this year than I ever have, and

26:48

I work in an office with Frank. And

26:50

part of that is- But that's because Alex Earl was involved.

26:52

And part of it is that they were the hard knocks

26:54

in-season team featured. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. We

26:57

have a couple calls here. Someone says- Thomas

26:59

from Chicago says he's a Taylor Swift family

27:01

dilemma. Oh. Maybe

27:04

let's see. Oh, God. I'm wondering

27:06

what other teams have high-profile wags. I

27:09

wonder that too. Thomas, what's going on? You

27:11

have a Taylor Swift family dilemma. No, Biles is not real. Is that

27:13

real? Oh, yeah. Yes,

27:15

it is. What's the dilemma? So

27:19

it's between me and my sister, and it's

27:21

starting between me versus my sister and my

27:23

mom. I like to say it

27:25

first. Again, the whole

27:28

idea is no problem with her. I

27:31

think it's- So this started- So I'm

27:33

a huge football fan. Die

27:36

hard. No ins and outs of

27:38

football. Like the whole shebang. So

27:42

my team lost the playoffs two weeks

27:44

ago. And look, I'm a fiery person.

27:47

I get rowdy screaming yell. But

27:49

then every time I do

27:52

that, I get shit for it from my sister

27:55

and then my mom. And then say,

27:57

oh, it's life. And like, oh, it's

27:59

like, it's just a game. But then they

28:02

get all like, but then so I'm like,

28:04

okay, fine. I have very

28:06

thick skin. But then when

28:09

the whole tale of Swift, I

28:12

forgot the whole movie docuseries or

28:14

whatever it's called came out and

28:16

then like, but they're getting the

28:18

same routiness for that. And

28:20

then I'm getting pissed off because

28:23

I am someone who is like, I

28:25

can take shit, but then once the whole poke in

28:27

the bear, once you poke the bear, I'm going to

28:29

say something. So you want to

28:31

be able to give shit back to their

28:33

die hard Swifties and you're a die hard

28:35

sports fan and you want to find even

28:37

ground. Yeah, that's just kind of hypocritical of

28:40

them. Yeah, and that's a thing.

28:42

Here's the thing. Oh, what's going on? And

28:44

then what pissed off more and I'm going

28:46

to say something like I

28:48

yelled. They said, you can't scream and yell

28:51

when there were kids in Gaza and Ukraine

28:53

have no place to live. But

28:55

then when they scream

28:58

and like, but

29:00

then they're a lot. Your

29:04

mom and your sister, why was it guilting you

29:06

with Gaza? Okay,

29:08

that's like the new like eat finisher

29:10

meal. There's kids starving and after literally

29:13

can't yell about the Ravens. Yes,

29:16

except that the children of Ukraine

29:18

and Gaza are not like facing

29:21

silence. It's not like

29:23

the food. Yeah,

29:26

that is my whole thing. So

29:31

my whole thing was again, I like to shift

29:34

like again, like I like her music on

29:36

house into it. It's just it's just not

29:38

my number one like artists again, but I

29:40

then I

29:43

just I think it's just the

29:45

whole hypocritical was like you can do one thing

29:47

with like you scream and yell and cry again.

29:49

I know. I know. Again, I

29:51

cry football. It's like, but it's the whole thing with like one's

29:53

a sport, but you can do it for

29:56

in a stadium and like the whole thing

29:58

and the mild thing was it's like. Again,

30:01

I am someone's like, we all just let it go. My God, Thomas

30:03

had a double espresso shot this morning. We need to, can we end

30:05

this call? Yeah, Thomas, I love you. I love you

30:07

to death. Thank you so much for calling. We'll talk about what you're

30:09

doing. Oh, wow. I don't know how many times I

30:11

could have said it. Thomas had to spit it out a little bit. Thomas had to

30:13

spit it out. I may need to hug her a bit. We love

30:15

Thomas for calling. We love Thomas for calling. So I understand his

30:17

dilemma. His dilemma is that he can't be as loudly as- He

30:19

just means to tell his mom and sister that they're hypocrites. Yeah.

30:23

He used to tell them to fuck off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which

30:25

in any other capacity, like, I don't like the big loud

30:27

sports fan, but I can't talk shit when I'm screaming about

30:29

Taylor's life. Yeah, I know. That's just a

30:31

fact. You can't do it. You have to have the self-awareness to know

30:33

that. And now we've all found something wrong. I think that was a

30:35

big conversation, like, when Taylor, like, first started coming to

30:37

games. Like, people would be like, I just

30:39

don't get Swifties while they scream and yell. Yeah. It's

30:42

like, well, NFL fans scream and yell. Yeah. And

30:45

then why don't we all just come together? I don't believe what he just

30:47

said. I believe what he said,

30:49

because that's a- I think- The

30:51

gossip thing seems like a stretch. I

30:54

think that maybe it was an exaggeration. Maybe he's, like, reading off

30:56

a script or something. Yeah, that's what I'm referring to a lot.

30:58

Yeah, that was all really weird. But

31:01

thank you to Thomas. We appreciate people

31:04

who call in and want to have a thoughtful

31:06

conversation. It sounds like he's got a difficult time

31:08

at home. And so maybe if he needs to

31:10

move out, he can go ahead and download RentApp.

31:12

And we can- do you guys like

31:14

my transitions? I'm trying to make him

31:16

part of the conversation. Very seamless. Thank

31:18

you. It breaks it a little when you pause and ask if

31:20

you like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just

31:22

need reassurance is what it is. But we have RentApp,

31:24

which RentApp has been on radio before. We

31:26

were involved in RentApp earlier in the year when we were

31:28

giving out a little bit of

31:31

rent to some producers and things. Paying rent is

31:33

something we all have to do. Let's be honest.

31:35

It could sometimes be a bit of a hassle.

31:37

But if there's a way to make it easier,

31:39

more straightforward, and even beneficial for your financial future,

31:41

introducing RentApp, the ultimate tool for renters everywhere. You

31:43

can head to the App Store and download RentApp

32:10

the conversations like

32:12

that that just happened are going

32:14

to happen even more so in

32:16

the next couple weeks before

32:18

the Super Bowl. I think that people are in

32:20

a pickle, people are in a spin cycle, they

32:23

don't know how to act, they don't know who

32:25

to hate, and everybody's hating everybody. I

32:29

don't know. There was a video, I sent it to Nick, we

32:31

don't have to play it, but it was

32:33

from the New York Post, so I don't know, don't

32:35

play it actually. Taylor was on her way

32:38

out to the field after the game and people

32:40

were screaming bloody murder at her saying you ruined

32:42

the game of football and this

32:44

is all your fault, blah blah blah. Those

32:48

people aren't well. Yeah, unwell. They

32:50

are unwell people. Unwell people. But

32:53

anyway, all that aside, Francis, I actually

32:55

have been waiting since the start of

32:57

the show to hear about what

32:59

you did this weekend because you said that you had

33:01

a cultural weekend and I feel like maybe you've been

33:03

chomped at the bit to talk about it. No,

33:05

no. But I'm dying to hear about it. I'm

33:08

dead serious I'm dying to hear about it. I've been wanting to hear

33:10

about it this whole time. Yeah, I appreciate it. I

33:12

had a good weekend, I went to the Eric Taylor,

33:18

Henry Taylor exhibit at the Whitney

33:20

Museum. Oh, very nice. Which was,

33:22

you know, if you're ever in New York and

33:26

you're wondering what to do, the Whitney Museum

33:28

among other museums is... I've never been to

33:30

Whitney. What is it? Where is it? In

33:33

the meat packing. It's right across from,

33:35

to La Cora Bianca on the corner. It's

33:38

very close to the standard beer garden.

33:40

That's next to it. That's a kitty

33:42

corner to it. Anyway... Art museum or?

33:44

Yeah, art. Modern art.

33:47

And it's modern but it's not

33:49

out of bounds, modern. And

33:51

I went with a few friends

33:53

that I don't see very often

33:56

whom I did not realize had

33:58

become so knowledgeable. about

34:00

the art world. Do

34:03

you know Kelly? No, I don't know. Maybe she's coming

34:05

back. I thought she was in Florida. Oh

34:07

yeah, you're right. Yeah, yeah. She is Sister

34:09

Fran. Yeah, yeah. Shout out Fran. I was curious

34:12

to why she had her suitcase. Yeah, she probably

34:14

flew in this morning. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Sorry,

34:16

Princess. Listen, I don't really care anymore.

34:19

Friends, the family went, they were much more,

34:21

most culturally inclined than you anticipated. Is that

34:23

what you're getting at? Yeah,

34:25

well we drank a bunch of wine and

34:27

we went to Soho House first, which is

34:29

always a tricky thing for me because I'm

34:31

a very visible detractor of Soho House. I

34:33

hate that. I hate that. Yeah, I was

34:36

going to say, I thought Soho House was

34:38

cool anymore. It's not cool unless somebody invites

34:40

you and then you're like, fine. Why

34:43

do I not like it?

34:45

Because I just think it's

34:47

the most self-important, like self-congratulating

34:49

group of dick fucks ever.

34:51

Agreed. You go in there and everyone's

34:53

looking around and patting themselves on the

34:56

back for the fact that they're there,

34:58

but it's no longer, the barrier to

35:00

entry is not as high

35:02

as it once was. It's not a discerning of

35:04

a membership. If you really are somebody, you'll be

35:06

at zero bond or a Cal State Channel. Yeah,

35:08

zero bond. Exactly. At this point. Soho

35:11

House. It's true, Soho House, it's like you can...

35:14

They went public and they expanded too much and

35:16

they've kind of lost the

35:18

quality control of their membership.

35:21

What is the point? It's like a

35:23

social club. What does that mean? There's

35:25

couches everywhere. You sit around and you drink, there's

35:27

couches everywhere. People have meetings there. My old job used

35:30

to go all the time. They

35:32

have food? Yeah, they have food. But

35:34

it's mediocre. You might say it's mid.

35:37

It had a point where it was pretty good and it was

35:39

fun or whatever. It used to be cool. The one in

35:41

me packing... So did you just go and

35:44

you were like... ...had a hole on the roof. I went

35:46

because that's where my friends, their members, and they were like,

35:48

this is where we're going and we're reminded. I have friends

35:50

and their members too and they still like it and go,

35:52

but I always roll my eyes. I'll always go, always

35:54

if invited, but I always roll my eyes. Yeah.

35:56

But we went and the one thing that's good is

35:58

that they only have a... twenty dollar corkage

36:01

fee so you can bring your own wine and

36:03

really tea off. I never get that cork

36:05

fee. Like they charge you to cork your

36:08

wine. It's so that they... They

36:10

make your money off of it. Yeah,

36:12

restaurants make most of their money on alcohol.

36:14

Right, that makes sense. And if you bring

36:16

your own wine, you're kind of... Yeah,

36:19

it's very hard to find a BYOB spot in the city,

36:21

I feel like. It is. Maybe true,

36:23

but... There's a pizza place in East

36:25

Village that is BYOB, but I think they

36:28

have an uncorking fee as well, like twenty

36:30

bucks, which is not bad. Most

36:34

restaurants that... You should just

36:36

ask, because a lot of the time it'll

36:38

be like forty bucks a bottle, which based

36:41

on what I'm bringing is much less than what

36:43

it would cost to buy that bottle of wine

36:46

on the menu, because they charge like a two

36:48

to two and a half percent... Or two

36:50

and a two and a half X up charge

36:52

fee. Yeah. Based on what you

36:55

can buy wine for at retail. Yeah, it's crazy. You know

36:57

your way around the wine menu? I'm getting there. Yeah, I'm

36:59

learning it. I don't

37:01

know at all, but I'm always impressed when I go to

37:03

a dinner with friends and they're like, oh, we'll do this

37:05

one from this year. I'd like to

37:07

maybe just start to fake it, probably. It's

37:09

really easy to fake it. This one's dry. It is very

37:12

easy to fake it. It's also easy to

37:14

start recognizing certain ones that you like. That's what

37:16

I do. I know certain

37:18

names of ones that I like, and I'll look for

37:21

those names or places from similar year in a

37:23

similar place. I want to eat with you.

37:27

You know, noir, Pinot Gris, or the day,

37:29

something along. I don't know if you need

37:32

to put the accent on the wall. Am

37:34

I doing an accent? Sorry. Not all Italian.

37:36

Sometimes I just slip back into Italian. But

37:40

I like that you like Italian wines.

37:42

Those are... He doesn't know the different

37:44

Francis. Yes, I do. No, he doesn't.

37:47

A roso, or a Bianco. He's

37:49

just saying Italian or... I

37:53

already drink Italian. I'll take a Vocciano.

37:55

That one is, yeah, yeah. like

38:00

French wines over Italian wines is

38:03

that Italian wines well spectacular that

38:06

they tend to be huge productions

38:08

like they'll put out large allocations

38:10

of the wines and so people

38:12

kind of say well there's not as much scarcity

38:14

and therefore maybe there's but there's there's

38:16

great Italian wines. I want to do I

38:20

want to do a wine tasting in on this show on varsil

38:22

radio to figure out how to get somebody legit in

38:24

here or if we do a silly one where we

38:27

buy a bunch and we pretend like we know we're

38:29

talking about not a bad idea do both options we

38:32

we went to this Henry

38:34

Taylor exhibit he's a an

38:37

artist out of like LA and and

38:39

I think a Brent maybe not Brentwood

38:41

but I don't know I want

38:44

to say like some

38:46

with some low-income area and

38:49

he does a lot of portraits of

38:52

you know black struggle

38:55

in a modern way and

38:57

he white no

39:00

no he just said what of it orchards

39:02

of black struggle oh he could have

39:04

been white doing that yeah I would

39:06

be a little bit look at all

39:08

these poor black people but no no

39:11

he'll do it it's pretty it's pretty

39:13

cool and one thing

39:15

that really stood out to me is

39:17

that I learned from

39:19

my buddy who's very into art that

39:23

the time an artist spends

39:26

making a piece has

39:28

no bearing on its

39:30

perceived value that there

39:32

are certain artists who can make a painting

39:34

a big painting in 20 minutes

39:38

and that painting will be worth a

39:40

hundred times more than a painting that took someone

39:43

a year to paint that's why I

39:45

always like to feel a little weird when I go to

39:47

the MoMA because I see like

39:49

a canvas that just has red paint

39:51

on it yeah I'm like why yeah but

39:53

I think I'm

39:56

with you on that point but what

39:58

I didn't realize that like truly

40:00

that there is no even among

40:03

like top artists there's no

40:05

belief necessarily that uh someone

40:08

who does like goes you know does a

40:10

very quick sort of abstract imperfect

40:14

uh you know portrait yeah

40:16

that is any less worthy or

40:18

talented than someone who spent

40:21

you know meticulously like years and

40:23

years trying to create that's interesting i

40:25

would have thought there'd be like a sliding scale

40:27

of creativity in that way but i guess really

40:29

it's just however is it common knowledge

40:32

how much time an artist spent yeah on

40:34

it like will it say under the thing

40:36

this artist spent no but i think people

40:38

are aware of the different styles of artists

40:40

especially ones that become famous and um i

40:43

certainly think that if i were to become an artist it'd

40:45

be a lot more fun to be the guy just yeah

40:49

throwing shit forward being like wow i got the

40:51

rest of the day yeah absolutely get

40:53

some chicken it

40:55

makes you wonder though like the people that yeah

40:57

for it makes me wonder though like the people

40:59

that spend all that time do you think that

41:02

they resent those who don't and take them less

41:04

seriously like i wonder what the struggle is within

41:06

the art community like do they like what's the

41:09

where does how do you gain respect you know i'm saying

41:11

like how do you say you do

41:14

something and yes you work forever and it looks beautiful

41:16

and it basically looks like a photograph it's so good

41:18

it's a painting you know and somebody

41:21

who who does maybe more modern like

41:23

a rascal or something like that rascal

41:25

would you think like um well

41:28

i don't know the name i didn't say i knew the name very

41:30

unsophisticated kelly that was very unsophisticated

41:32

do you know what it wasn't

41:34

no i'm just kidding oh

41:36

yeah just kidding oh that was a gentle correction and

41:38

not a man's plane i know that and i and

41:41

i was looking for it because i didn't know god

41:43

damn it but so i forgot

41:45

what i was saying now way to go tommy

41:47

yikes if she didn't make that mistake would have

41:49

never happened it would have never happened no if you

41:51

didn't say anything it would have never happened i

41:54

don't remember not let your ignorance go by immersive

41:59

immersive It was great because we

42:01

did some fun wine stuff and then we

42:04

did that and then we just sort

42:06

of walked around. It was a balmy

42:08

day in New York on Saturday, kind

42:10

of like 50ish and so it was perfectly

42:12

fine to walk around and I haven't been in the city

42:15

on the weekend in a long time because usually I'm on

42:17

the road and stuff. I

42:19

have to say walking around the West

42:21

Village with a little buzz on, you

42:23

know, middle of the afternoon, we stopped

42:25

and we went to Anton's. We

42:28

love Anton. Good restaurant, incredible wine list

42:30

and we lit ourselves on fire. We

42:34

rebuilt the flame and spent

42:36

a lot of money and then I

42:38

was drinking a boulevardier

42:40

at night. A

42:43

Negroni made with bourbon and

42:45

that's when things sort of... I don't know if I've had

42:47

that. You were drinking Negroni's the other day. Are you an

42:49

Negroni guy? I love Negroni's. I

42:51

don't like Comparoni with bourbon. I'm

42:54

not crazy about Negroni. I like Bellini's. You

42:57

like a Bellini? Yeah, I like

42:59

a... I love a Bellini. I

43:01

prefer them to mimosas. I

43:03

agree because I don't like orange juice. I'm a

43:06

Bloody Mary. That's my breakfast drink. A tomato juice.

43:08

A Bloody Mary. You could put pepper in a

43:10

drink, it's not a drink, that's what I always

43:12

say. Okay, last thing, Sunday woke up, crushed

43:15

myself with a punitive workout to absolve

43:17

my sins from the day before and

43:19

then later in the day I went

43:21

and played Padel. What's that? You

43:23

guys know Padel? No. This

43:26

is the new hot thing. It

43:28

will supplant... Pickleball? Pickleball. Ooh,

43:31

Hadel, can you spell it? D-A-D-E-L. Now,

43:33

some people, purists, will say it's pronounced

43:35

paddle. The problem with that is

43:37

it becomes very hard to differentiate

43:40

between paddle tennis, also known as

43:42

platform tennis, paddle, paddle, and now

43:44

all of these racquet sports that

43:47

are popping up. But

43:49

pickleball has been around for a while,

43:51

usually popular. I think Padel is in

43:53

a sort of glass cage. You

43:59

can hit it off. the back wall like

44:01

racquetball no because

44:04

it's they're still in that and you're playing

44:06

like double oh oh I'm like doing that

44:08

but there's a great Adele

44:11

house that popped up in Dumbo

44:14

where I live and then they have ones on sort

44:16

of on the west side and then they have one

44:18

I don't know it's becoming hugely popular if

44:20

you haven't heard about it yet you're about to

44:22

hear a lot about it really fun we pull up

44:24

a video of it yeah yeah what's the difference between

44:29

Adele and paddle do you

44:31

know paddle tennis yeah in a cage

44:33

yeah oh so the wire cage yes

44:36

so Adele good question you

44:38

play with you still play off the walls you

44:40

do I think

44:42

the big Adele surfaces I think

44:44

and it's glass walls all around

44:49

except for a little bit of wire in the middle and

44:52

then Adele excuse me paddle tennis is

44:54

technically a winter sport meant to be

44:56

played outside with a heated floor yeah

44:58

prevents the ice from forming and

45:01

then Adele I think is more of a

45:03

summer sub

45:05

sports like a lot

45:07

of yeah yeah yeah I

45:10

had no idea there's a

45:12

paddle court at my country club in

45:14

town and like my in Chatham New Jersey

45:16

so I always used to play paddle there

45:18

it's so fun yeah but I was never

45:20

good I love never knew how to play

45:22

off the walls I love remembering the well

45:24

pickle ball come from because

45:27

there are so few ever felt for the

45:29

whole few here I actually

45:32

never belonged there we my

45:35

parents never belonged there because we were never really

45:37

in town enough but too busy on

45:39

vacation we couldn't afford it wasn't even

45:46

worth it oh man that's great

45:50

so dip a toe Gia welcome aboard it's

45:52

nice to have you of

45:55

course I think by the way that your family

45:57

is far wealthier than mine which I admire I

46:00

admire that about you guys. Why

46:03

didn't you, but you would go to play?

46:05

Well because there was a golf and pool,

46:07

there's a pool and everything so we

46:09

went to Martins Vineyard in the summer

46:11

so we never used a recreational pool

46:13

and stuff until we were really young

46:16

and then once we started becoming

46:18

older we just went to Martins Vineyard all the time. So

46:21

how did you go play battle? Because my

46:23

friends were members. Yes, yes. It's

46:25

very fun if you've never played battle tennis. That's lots of fun too.

46:27

I like all this. I like pickleball

46:30

paddle. I love pickleball. I

46:32

like all, anything that's like tennis, I like

46:34

tennis. This is a sport that I enjoy. The

46:37

question I have for everyone is why

46:39

do we think that so many of

46:41

these games, are people just desperate for

46:43

games to play? I

46:45

feel like games come and go

46:47

in trends. It's also relatively easy. It's

46:50

not a hard sport. I

46:54

think the thing that is pickleball

46:56

is so great is that it is

46:59

an equalizer of athleticism. So

47:01

you don't have

47:03

to be a freak to be good

47:05

at it and that like you know when you play

47:09

with someone who's not that athletic it

47:11

doesn't drag the game down. You're not

47:13

just like go easy on this. It's

47:17

a relatively slow moving ball kind of and

47:19

you can still have a lot of fun

47:22

with very high

47:25

variety of talent. I've never played.

47:28

My like 80 six year old grandma

47:30

plays pickleball. Yeah, everybody loves that

47:32

shit. I'm a smoker. Self included. You

47:34

would really like pickleball. No, Tommy, honestly,

47:36

you fucking nasty. No, I probably would

47:39

not smoke pickleball. I'd kill her. I'd fucking

47:41

hurt her. I doubt it. I

47:43

promise you would not be able to pickleball. My mema

47:45

can fucking rip it. You're

47:49

overvaluing her talent due to her age

47:51

and due to your relationship. He's undervaluing

47:53

her talent. You're respecting someone who does

47:55

not deserve respect in this case. Sounds

47:58

like you're disrespected her mema. Well,

48:00

you want to prove it? I'm gonna

48:02

be like that game of fucking... What

48:05

was it? Uh... Francis versus

48:07

my memaw. Steve played the netball game

48:09

with my ball. Oh yeah, yeah.

48:12

It didn't even take that easy on

48:14

him at all. It's one of my

48:16

favorite bars. Funniest videos I've ever seen.

48:18

We get Francis versus my grandma on

48:20

a baseball court. Yes, we should. Yeah, but if

48:25

something bad happens, then the inheritance goes

48:27

to me. Oh shit. I think

48:30

that's... Never mind, the game's off. We're off,

48:32

yeah. I need as much

48:34

as I can. I can't risk that. I'll

48:36

keep as much as I can. Lovely.

48:39

Yeah, no. Padel, very, very fun. By

48:41

the way, shout out Frankie Burelli and

48:43

the Barstool Pickleball Invitational. Oh yes. I

48:46

know that's a smashing success. Give

48:49

that a whirl if you check

48:51

out their dates and stuff, because he's running that show

48:53

and it's fabulous. That's so fun. Yeah.

48:57

I think that it's... This

48:59

weekend you were right, it was a little glimpse of

49:02

the light at the end of the tunnel, temperature

49:04

wise. It was gray the whole weekend, so it was

49:06

still as depressing as it's ever been. But

49:09

right now is around the time where I start

49:11

thinking like, okay, I either kill myself or wait

49:13

for three more weeks and I'll be fine. That

49:16

is the time we're at right now. And

49:18

I think that we need a couple more nice

49:21

days. And I think that the tides are

49:23

about to change in the best way. We

49:25

always get that. We get fake

49:27

spring. I feel like in February, you get

49:29

fake spring for a few days where it's

49:31

like a little bit of a taste of

49:33

warm, a little teaser trailer, if you will.

49:35

February and October. I hate February. I

49:38

don't like February either, but... It's my birth month.

49:40

But the teaser does give me enough. Yeah,

49:42

and then it goes back to cold and

49:44

then maybe around April. Are you hitting that

49:46

R in February? How do

49:48

you say it? February. Yeah,

49:50

you're hitting it. She's hitting it, yeah. February.

49:53

How do you... February.

49:56

How do you say it? A lot of

49:58

people just ignore that R. February

50:00

first are February that's what most people say

50:02

yeah, I never noticed that I don't have

50:05

a problem with it I'm not I'm not

50:07

holding. Oh, yeah It's

50:09

not a scold. This is just Another

50:14

non-solding. Yeah, I'm amused I

50:21

have crazy back pain all the time

50:23

now. I have to just constantly readjust

50:26

to figure out a way that's not

50:28

painful Well, I don't think the pajamas. I

50:30

don't know what to do. I'm certain

50:32

this isn't the solution, but the icy

50:34

hot I don't know. It's

50:37

just a Dick I'm sorry sometimes

50:39

it does sometimes it does I take it back, but like

50:42

I wish it would I wish would help long-term I'm

50:44

having a hard time. Are you a you a stomach

50:46

or side sleeper? No, I sleep on my back

50:48

I had to solve that a long time ago. I had

50:50

a very bad eye injury. Oh damn For

50:53

I used to sleep on my stomach when I

50:55

was a kid I got it was horrible terrible.

50:58

I'm sorry for laughing It's

51:00

fine But I

51:02

happened I was a goalie in Soccer

51:05

and I came out to stop a breakaway and

51:07

the kid just kicked the ball right into my

51:09

fall Oh, and it your

51:11

eye socket is is one of

51:13

those natural evolutionary protective things of

51:17

Your eyeballs where your eyes set back

51:19

around the bone orbital bone and in

51:21

the ball Just hitting that one perfect

51:24

spot where it destroyed 280

51:26

degrees of the socket lining oh And

51:30

I have permanent eye damage. I'm very much

51:32

at risk of cataracts. How old were you

51:35

I must have been probably 11 broke

51:38

my nose and Did

51:40

you play for I used

51:42

to get into a for Argentina now or something? Dad

51:46

was the chief of police in Falmouth

51:49

and oh wow I always

51:51

wished Falmouth is a great town. We

51:53

had defunded that police station But

51:57

no anyway I

52:00

was, we were talking about this. Weekend.

52:02

Because of your back pain? Oh, because after

52:05

that. You had to sleep

52:07

on your back? I had to, they said it,

52:09

like they had to set the eye or something

52:12

and I had to sleep sitting up and on my back

52:14

and they were like, do not sleep on your stomach anymore.

52:16

Do you have to wear an eye patch? I had to

52:18

do that for two weeks. Yeah. Holy shit, that's cool. Eye

52:20

patch and then. Do people make fun of you? No,

52:23

because they knew it was because of a bad injury.

52:25

Right, of course. I feel like kids in my school

52:28

definitely still made fun of you for wearing an eye

52:30

patch. For sure, definitely. There was a kid

52:32

who like broke his tailbone or like his coccyx?

52:34

Cocccyx? Yeah. Oh, forget it.

52:36

You break your bone and cool, forget it. And

52:40

it was really bad, he had to bring a pillow and

52:43

we'd be like, your booty pillow, like

52:45

kids wear booty pillow. Poor kids,

52:47

I got to make fun of, I had an

52:49

injury. It's so stupid. That sucks so bad. But

52:51

it's true, kids are so mean like that. I

52:53

had an injury in second grade. I got, and

52:56

I told the story a million fucking times, I

52:58

was on bumper cars and my dad was there

53:00

and we were all

53:03

doing bumper cars. I didn't weigh enough

53:05

to be there. I was in second

53:07

grade, like I said, and I got

53:09

whiplash, I got hit from the backside,

53:11

whiplash, hospital, neck brace, whole thing. I

53:13

got to stay out of school for

53:15

a week. No, literally, exactly. She's

53:17

the kid in school. I had to stay out of

53:20

school for a week and then I had to go back to

53:22

school. Okay, I'm sorry, but getting whiplash would

53:24

have come through. No, I was like a wafer-thin

53:26

child. No, I

53:28

was gonna say, you probably weighed like 30 pounds. Yeah,

53:31

literally, I mean it was crazy. Nobody should have ever let

53:33

me on there. The problem is I was tall enough, so

53:36

they let me go. I used to think the

53:38

kids on crutches were cool. I thought it was cool.

53:40

Yeah, you wanted crutches. I wanted crutches

53:42

so bad. And you wanted a cast, because you wanted

53:44

people to sign your cash. Finally, lucky enough to get

53:46

crutches was over the summer, because I tripped over for

53:48

a space in a summer league. Oh

53:50

no. I didn't even get to enjoy the fruits of

53:52

my spoil. Why did you have to have, you

53:55

tripped over for a space? Yeah, tore up my knee bad.

53:57

Oh yeah? I was trying to be out of bunt. on

54:00

crutches like half of my sophomore year.

54:02

That's awesome. No, I

54:05

feel like it was actually crutches. I feel like it was

54:07

cooler in like fourth grade. Yeah, like having

54:09

a cat, like in high school in your own crutches is

54:11

kind of lame because like you want to like hang out

54:13

with your friends and then like you're like on crutches and

54:15

like. If you can have crutches for like a couple days,

54:17

like a couple days of crutches, that'd be cool. But

54:19

you usually got to have them for weeks. Well now I would

54:22

not want crutches. I mean, remember when James was on crutches? My

54:24

God, what an idiot. It's so embarrassing. It's very embarrassing to have

54:26

an injury like that as an adult. I mean,

54:28

I was the one leg scooter. Oh

54:31

God, I would do the one leg scooter over the crutches. For

54:34

sure, I don't have upper body strength like that. But yeah,

54:36

so I had to waltz into my second grade classroom

54:38

with my neck brace on for one day or two

54:40

days or something and my teacher as I walked in,

54:42

Miss Ryan, I will never forget you, she

54:45

said, oh, you look like

54:47

a giraffe and that stuck. Oh

54:49

no. So

54:51

that stuck for the rest of my life. That stuck.

54:54

Then I moved to a. Then I moved to a

54:56

new. I got called a giraffe a lot too. It's

54:58

called tall girl girl shit. Tall girl shit. Yeah, yeah,

55:00

yeah. I was five eight in fifth grade. Jesus. Yeah.

55:03

Oh my God. I was close. I don't know

55:05

if I was five eight. Freak. I was close

55:08

though. Jesus Christ. Girls,

55:11

you're your full height literally by like eighth

55:13

grade. I was insanely tall. Yeah,

55:15

I was definitely. Your teacher was just like, oh my

55:17

God, you look like a freak. What

55:19

freak of nature just walked in here? Oh

55:21

yeah, the guys are so fucking. Animal on the

55:23

basketball court and lacrosse field and

55:26

just freaking body girls. It was awesome and then

55:28

they caught up to me. And so

55:30

that is a daydream. I often have of, of a

55:32

body, little girls on the cross. They're like going back

55:35

to like little league, like third grade and like, you

55:37

know, as a fully formed adult and just, you know,

55:39

I don't know if I still, I don't know if

55:41

I'd be the best player on the team, but I'd

55:43

be top four players on the team. I bet I'd

55:45

be top four to five players on the team. I

55:47

used to have that sort of daydream

55:50

as well. Yeah. Well, I always have

55:52

dreams that my basketball coach, like I'm at the game and my

55:54

basketball coach is like, we need you to come and like

55:56

play. Like we're down a player. At

55:58

your current age. Yeah. I have dreams about it.

56:00

And you're like, don't worry, I got this. I'm like, I got

56:03

this. I got my uniform. Yeah. Just

56:05

relive the glory days a little bit. That would be nice. I

56:07

don't know what glory days I would

56:09

relive. We were playing NYA, North Yarmouth

56:12

Academy in the western

56:14

Maine or southern Maine semi-finals.

56:17

So whoever went, won that game, went on the

56:19

state championship. To boy Kenny Bunk,

56:21

who was not even in our league. So

56:24

basically this was the de facto state championship.

56:26

And we were at NYA. And

56:29

we had three minutes left on the clock. We were up

56:31

a goal. I had the ball. And

56:34

I saw Jack Rose's lacrosse open

56:36

on the crease. And I remember thinking,

56:38

well, they've left him. He's so open. It

56:40

would almost be rude not to throw him the ball. And

56:44

I did. And he panicked

56:46

and quick sticked it right into Steven Hansel,

56:48

their goalie's chest, who

56:50

then brought the ball down, fan well and scored. And then

56:52

they won the next face off and scored again. And we

56:54

did not make the same championship my senior year. And

56:57

Jack Rose had the goal to

57:00

DM me a week ago. A

57:02

week ago. To say that

57:05

I think he was coming to New York City

57:07

and wanted to go to a show. Might I

57:09

be on stage anywhere? I

57:11

said, do you think I

57:13

have fucking forgotten how

57:15

you cost us my

57:18

legacy? What

57:21

the fuck? I stopped thinking about how

57:24

stupid he was in that moment. And

57:26

because I was so

57:28

much better than everyone, even with

57:30

three minutes left, I could have

57:32

just run wind sprints with the ball.

57:34

So you were that good on your high school team?

57:37

So how did you let them score a two goal?

57:39

How? It was Maine. Really?

57:42

I was an All-American. I mean, I'm not full and full. I was

57:44

just not like a huge... It was blue chip. State

57:47

for the sport. And

57:51

yeah, I could have just run with the ball

57:53

and run the clock out and we would have

57:55

trounced Kenny Bunk in the state championship and I

57:57

would have won and cemented my legacy. Damn.

58:00

So is that like the one thing that like keeps

58:02

you up sometimes? I'm not even kidding you. And to

58:04

Tommy's point, I think about when I

58:06

was in college playing and the shape that I

58:08

was in, if I could take

58:11

that boy and

58:13

put him back in that moment with

58:16

three minutes left, how easily I

58:19

would have just won the game for us. I

58:21

think that's a valid thing to

58:23

let like, say, how well

58:25

in the back of your mind, you know? I'm

58:28

just wondering how many guys on my like high school across

58:30

the team because like kind of the same thing happened. This

58:32

kid gave up a pass. He

58:35

lost the game. Del Barton came back and they

58:37

won. And I'm sure that kid is just still

58:39

to this day. Like I can't believe I did

58:41

that. Some people would say that Kit Smith might

58:43

have been the best player in the state that

58:45

year, but we never played them because they were

58:48

in the division below us because they were smaller.

58:50

His name is kind of a

58:52

friend Rob's babysitter. And

58:55

I would give him credit. He

58:57

might have been a little better than I am. But he went D3. Your

59:00

friend's babysitter is the same. No, it's different

59:02

than the old Irish one. Oh,

59:04

right. Okay. It's a good

59:06

guy. I don't have anything against the kid. How many goals would

59:08

you score like a game in an average across game? You

59:11

attack? I'm a midfielder. Yeah.

59:14

I don't know. Like in high school? Yeah. Three,

59:17

three or four, something like that. You're real Patrick

59:19

O'Rourke. That's in my FP nights. I feel like

59:21

that's cool. I used to play in

59:23

elementary school across. I hated when I got the

59:25

ball. I hated when I got the ball. I

59:28

was a field. What did you play? Across.

59:31

Really? Across from third to sixth grade.

59:33

Four lifetime goals. Oh, wow. That's crazy.

59:36

I hated it. But when I got the ball. Oh

59:38

my God. Please no. I just hate the whole team.

59:40

Get rid of it. Get rid of it. All our

59:42

good players were midis and then attack would just be

59:44

there to try to draw the defense away. I

59:47

just always hated girls across because I felt like it

59:50

was like the, like it was just like a

59:52

lane. Like you can't hit people. Yeah. I

59:55

mean, you needed to play a woman's sport

59:57

that we're hitting. Full fledged hitting was involved.

1:00:00

Hitting but like body contact.

1:00:02

Yeah, like what's rougher? What's

1:00:04

rougher women's basketball women's soccer is so

1:00:06

much more rougher Yeah

1:00:09

women's soccer women's soccer. They like

1:00:11

fucking a guy like their ponytails

1:00:14

In soccer the soccer girls you didn't fuck with the

1:00:16

soccer girl. Oh, you don't fuck with the soccer girl

1:00:18

There was a big I don't know if it was

1:00:20

like this in your guys's high school But like the

1:00:22

the girls who played sports like the field hockey team

1:00:24

and the soccer team were like cool Like those girls

1:00:26

go to the lacrosse team and and and so it

1:00:28

was like, oh, you know, everybody respected them Whatever and

1:00:31

so we would you know, we'd support we watched our

1:00:33

games We'd like cheer them on whatever and and

1:00:35

they were fucking brutal like they would beat the

1:00:37

shit out of people. I think God It's like

1:00:39

easy. Yeah, really good, but I was always surprised by

1:00:41

like how intense it was that's of all too But they got

1:00:43

they usually got the Doors

1:00:45

blown off off on the basketball. Yeah, I just

1:00:48

I never liked that about girls across It's like

1:00:50

I want to like get a little physical Yeah,

1:00:52

and you you just like push someone a little

1:00:54

bit and it's a it's and then you You

1:00:58

line up around the thing and the

1:01:00

girl gets to run straight forward. It's like

1:01:02

what makes like cheating It's like some you

1:01:04

know, these rules are put in place to

1:01:07

maybe to maybe like not not make it

1:01:09

so intense But then it in accidentally

1:01:11

makes it like lame as fuck. Yeah,

1:01:13

it's it's so I wish power here

1:01:15

today I know Listen

1:01:18

to Gia talk about wishing that her

1:01:20

female sport had been more physical He

1:01:25

wishes if he didn't call you

1:01:27

a lesbian I'm

1:01:30

either way, that's the thing. He's that's all his I

1:01:32

would report him to HR if he didn't do it Just

1:01:36

say I'm really tough and strong and

1:01:39

I just I'm not scared. I'm

1:01:41

not a pussy. So whatever all very lesbian

1:01:47

I think you're reading the definition Whatever

1:01:50

I can never win. You can never win. Nobody

1:01:52

can we'll never win. Don't worry about it. No,

1:01:54

but all right Let's let's wrap it up for today. Thank

1:01:56
