This is Gentlemen of the World , and

0:16

I have a sidebar question for you . My

0:18

name is Evan .

0:20

John .

0:21

Andrew Dave .

0:23

Vern Justin .

0:25

Dave , alex . So

0:27

, gentlemen , tell me the story

0:29

of the worst hangover you've ever

0:32

had . Wow .

0:34

Very well Ugh .

0:37

Hmm . And what are . Can you just

0:39

give us some parameters Like does this include

0:42

the drinking aspect

0:44

of it , or is it just the

0:46

feeling afterwards , or is it

0:48

kind ?

0:48

of whatever you want to be . Lay the story

0:51

out for me . What happened before

0:54

after ?

0:56

How much time do we have ?

0:59

So I'll start . When Evan

1:01

asked me , or he brought up this , we were talking

1:04

in the car on the way here , and

1:06

when he , when we

1:08

started talking through it , a vision

1:10

came in of my head of the

1:13

hangover itself , like the moment

1:16

, but it was linked to lots

1:18

of moments , but it was more like a period in time

1:21

. Everything honed in on a period

1:23

of time and I felt myself

1:25

like the . My mind

1:27

started painting the picture of this is where you are

1:29

now , this is where you're laying on

1:31

the couch , this is the blanket wrapped

1:33

around you and like all that stuff

1:36

. And then I was like , okay , and now we have

1:38

a story now connected to this whole thing . So

1:41

I'm gonna backtrack it . But when you originally

1:43

said that I was wrapped

1:45

in a blanket , when I moved out to Long Beach

1:48

, I lived with my aunt and uncle in Huntington Beach and

1:51

they would go away on vacation

1:54

and my cousins would

1:56

. When they went away , we'd throw a party at their house and

1:59

for the most part , we love to throw themed parties

2:01

more at their house , and

2:05

so there was lots of themed parties

2:07

that led to lots of hangover

2:09

moments , and

2:11

I'll get to the parties , but for the hangover

2:13

moments , they always ended up the same

2:16

the next morning , where I was wrapped

2:18

in a blanket on the couch watching

2:21

the office and

2:23

this is when the office was actually still on TV

2:25

. So we were watching whatever we had recorded

2:28

, just whatever episodes you had recorded when

2:30

you recorded episodes on a DVR

2:33

is that what they were called ?

2:34

I think so . T-bow yeah , something like that

2:36

.

2:38

You , youngsters .

2:40

And just sitting in your own filth

2:42

in your own shit after vomiting

2:44

three or four times , so

2:46

that my hangover morning always looked

2:49

like that . It was

2:51

like that every time . Now

2:53

to the parties that led to that . It

2:56

was a lot of these themed parties and

2:59

the ones that I can remember , some

3:01

of the highlighted ones where we threw a prom

3:03

this was

3:05

probably mid-20s and we threw a prom

3:07

or

3:09

, like you asked a girl to this prom

3:11

, but it was just a house party . You had a friend

3:13

, dj , and we moved all of the

3:16

good furniture into the garage so

3:18

it didn't get messed up . All my aunt , uncle were away

3:20

hopefully they weren't listening .

3:21

You moved out of furniture .

3:22

We lifted up the table and the good

3:25

couches and left the party

3:27

couches out , just so we could have that

3:29

space . That could be the dance floor in

3:32

the dining room . But

3:36

yeah , themed parties is what came to mind

3:38

when you said that to me , and the first theme party

3:40

that I thought of was the prom . But we

3:42

had everything from . We had a friend

3:44

that moved away to Australia so we threw an Australian

3:47

themed party where we had people dressed up as

3:49

fucking kangaroos . People

3:51

came as aborigines . Car name prom . They

3:53

would be canceled now . But like shit , like

3:55

that yeah we had all kinds of great

3:58

themed parties that led to the hangover

4:00

. And again the hangover is me on a couch

4:02

, wrapped in a blanket watching the office . That's

4:04

your brand , that's my brand . No , thank

4:06

you .

4:07

Thank you . Is that still your go-to if you have

4:09

a hangover ?

4:10

The office on a couch in a blanket . Yeah

4:13

, after hurling and

4:15

me and my fiance we actually talking about this

4:17

the other night where we have different

4:20

styles of hangover

4:22

, where I'm good for

4:24

if I drink enough I'll

4:26

throw up , but it's all in one session . I

4:29

get it all out in one session and I'm done

4:31

for the day night , whatever

4:33

the day .

4:34

That's a fresh move . Yeah , we're

4:36

free .

4:37

She will throw up three

4:40

times over the course of a

4:42

whole day , getting it all out

4:44

, but I get all my throw up

4:46

done in one setting . That's

4:49

me Smart , yeah thank you .

4:51

I foresee that this will be our most listened

4:53

to . It's deep .

4:58

It's real .

4:59

Who's next . I

5:01

mean , I guess I can go if nobody else wants to go

5:03

. So

5:06

it's not necessarily the worst

5:08

hangover I've ever had , but it was very memorable

5:10

hangover that I had , specifically

5:13

on the fact that I literally drank

5:15

one beer .

5:16

No , I drank one beer the night before .

5:18

And , for whatever reason , woke

5:21

up with the worst hangover I've ever had .

5:23

That beer was 100% ABV , it

5:27

was clear , and it was vodka yeah .

5:29

It was literally , literally , but like it

5:31

was more lorged . And I

5:33

woke up the next morning , I was 20 , and

5:36

my best friend , andy , had just gotten his apartment

5:38

after high school and he was the first one to move out

5:40

and , like , of course , his apartment turned into

5:42

, like party central USA , hell yeah

5:44

. And so his

5:46

brother-in-law was a

5:48

bartender at Sharky's in Newport Beach and

5:51

he's like , hey , let's go get some .

5:52

Well , that was your problem yeah . He's

5:54

like let's go get some .

5:56

Yeah there's the hangover .

5:57

Keep in mind . This story is now taking place while

6:00

I'm hungover . So he's like , hey , let's go

6:02

get some breakfast burritos at Sharky's

6:04

, you know . And I'm like , whatever , I

6:06

don't know if I can get in , I'm not 21 . He's like

6:08

, dude , my brother's the bartender

6:10

, it doesn't matter . So we're sitting there

6:12

like trying , I'm trying to like eat a breakfast burrito

6:15

and he keeps coming up to us with

6:17

shots in a in Styrofoam

6:19

cups . He's like here , I made this one for you guys , I made

6:21

this one for you guys . I'm just like fucking

6:24

trying to chug down these shots while

6:26

miserably hungover , eating breakfast burrito

6:28

, and I'm like this is

6:30

fucking worse . But you did it , I

6:32

did it and go

6:35

out into the parking lot .

6:36

If I would got you to the hangover was

6:38

one bud light .

6:41

This is scientifically . I don't know how that's possible

6:43

.

6:44

I believe you . I don't know either

6:46

. It's the only time has ever happened in

6:48

the story .

6:49

Did you get ?

6:49

roofie Possibly . Ok

6:51

, that could be . I don't think so .

6:54

It was guilt , so

6:56

first time drinking .

7:00

So what we have on the agenda for that day was

7:02

tickets to Coachella

7:05

. This was literally

7:07

. Coachella's first year of Coachella

7:09

ever , and so my

7:12

miserable hungover ass like

7:14

from Newport Beach , throwing up in the

7:16

parking lot outside of Sharkies , got

7:18

into a car and drove all the way

7:20

out to the Coachella . Valley and

7:22

sat through fucking Coachella the

7:24

entire day , just miserably hungover

7:27

and just

7:29

. I will never forget it . I mean watching fucking

7:32

Beastie Boys and just trying

7:34

to keep my life together while my

7:36

friends are just parting it up and me just trying

7:38

to keep everything together was just the most miserable

7:41

experience of my entire life .

7:42

But at least Frank Ocean played right . I

7:46

don't even remember .

7:48

Frank Ocean , if it's the first Coachella .

7:50

Frank .

7:50

Ocean was like 12 .

7:51

Yeah , no , I saw , I saw Weezer and I saw the

7:53

Beastie Boys . Those are the two , two

7:55

bands that I saw . I know like

7:57

.

8:00

I'm probably the youngest one here , so I shouldn't sound like

8:02

I'm an old person or anything but like the

8:04

like , the ability . I

8:06

remember the ability to be able to do things

8:08

like that , where you're able to have

8:10

a hangover and then drink

8:13

shots like after

8:15

or in your hangover and then go

8:17

to Coachella or go to an event whether

8:20

it be like a fucking Vegas or whatever

8:22

, it doesn't matter . That was

8:24

that's fucking psycho Me

8:26

. Like hearing that now or trying to do something like

8:28

that now sounds insane , but

8:31

like that was something that you could do when you

8:33

were like in your 20 .

8:34

Yeah , you know , I'm a father now , guys

8:36

.

8:39

Oh yeah .

8:40

Another human being . He's keeping a human being alive

8:42

. Yeah , not right now . It's scary .

8:44

Well , he knows how to keep himself alive , so yeah

8:46

, he's here . That's right . Oh , he's proved himself

8:48

. That's a red passage

8:51

for every father . Can you keep yourself

8:53

alive ?

8:54

Great job . You can have a kid . You could be a dad

8:56

now .

8:59

All right , so I'll go next , if nobody

9:01

. Yeah , jump in there and mine

9:03

encompasses every aspect

9:06

of his , his requirements

9:08

. We

9:10

had friends in the valley , we're having a party

9:13

and we had

9:15

we had been married , my wife and I had

9:17

been married , they had just gotten married , you know a few

9:19

years and they

9:21

had us over . I

9:24

don't remember how many people will just say 20

9:26

people were there . Sure , we're charging , can we

9:28

?

9:28

say 30 ? Nobody's going to

9:30

fact check . Yeah , that's right Up to 30 people .

9:33

Hold on . Let's say there's 30 people there . We

9:36

were in charge of the salad . Make

9:39

a note of the salad .

9:41

OK , salad . So , we brought a new

9:43

bowl of salad .

9:45

So we're just having drinks throughout the night

9:47

, wine and things like that . Well , at the end of the

9:50

near the end of the party starts

9:52

winding down . My

9:54

friend and his friend had created a

9:56

game in college and

9:58

it was . It was like they call it beer

10:00

life and it was just a board game . So

10:02

they brought out a board game and

10:04

they had all handwritten things

10:07

in and dice

10:09

and so everybody's playing . So the

10:11

his wife , who's been familiar

10:13

with the game , brought out , she started bringing

10:16

out the beer and it

10:18

was I want to say it was Coors Light or something

10:20

like that and she just starts putting several

10:22

Coors Lights in front of everybody that was playing

10:25

. And how it would be you'd roll

10:27

the dice , you'd move your piece and

10:29

then , whatever the punishment was , you'd

10:31

have to do shots of beer . So you had

10:33

a little shot glass and you'd say , ok , you got

10:35

to do four shots , so you do four shots of beer

10:37

. But then there was also the punishment . You

10:40

say , ok , well , now you

10:42

assign somebody eight shots . So like

10:44

, all right , you and it could be anybody at the table . So

10:46

people were just and this is my first

10:48

time playing and it all of me . It

10:51

always seemed like the game was between

10:53

the two guys who created it . The game was right

10:55

. The rules were changed . Yeah , I was right

10:57

. You know people were targeted and

11:00

the thing was so let's say I All

11:04

right , you have to do 20 shots . You could

11:06

say I'm done , you wouldn't have to do them , you

11:08

could just quit the game and you're out . So

11:11

it got down to me and

11:13

the other not my friend , but his friend , the

11:15

other creator of the game and

11:18

I'd be damned if I was going to lose this game because

11:20

you got to sign the board if you want

11:22

, so I honor .

11:23

I want that too , so

11:25

I'm pushing .

11:27

We're playing , we're playing , we're playing and

11:29

you're drinking so

11:31

much beer in a short period of time my

11:34

stomach immediately filled

11:36

and it gets to a point where I'm thinking

11:38

I got to throw up , not

11:41

from sickness , just like I don't

11:43

have any capacity .

11:46

Just Just projectile .

11:47

I choose myself and as

11:49

I'm walking to the bathroom , I put my hand

11:52

on my mouth and

11:55

it just shoots out from my fingers , from

11:57

the holes , and everybody's like , oh he's done

12:00

, he's done . So I go to the bathroom , empty

12:02

myself , come back and

12:05

finish the game .

12:06

So like a proper man

12:08

would .

12:09

So we keep going , we keep going and we must

12:11

. I mean we probably went through over

12:13

a 12 pack or more . I'm

12:16

just going to say a 12 pack because that's what I remember

12:18

sitting , but it was probably 24 .

12:20

Who knows ?

12:21

Yeah . So we're

12:23

almost at the end and

12:25

I he lands on something and I

12:27

like , all right , you got you

12:29

. I'm going to give him 12 shots

12:32

and he's like I'm

12:34

out , I

12:36

win . But then the rule

12:38

is I still have to finish the game . Oh

12:42

, and I was Schumann . Yes

12:45

, I'm the only one playing at this point

12:47

and I'm still having to give myself shots

12:50

until the end to get to the end .

12:52

So then , to sign your dick on the board

12:54

Right at the end .

12:57

The spot right before the finish line is

12:59

. Go back to the beginning . Whoa

13:02

, and I landed on it , oh

13:05

, and I was fully prepared

13:07

to run the gauntlet again

13:09

.

13:10

This is what God has chosen for me and

13:12

I am not .

13:14

I am your Marine . I am not three

13:16

. I'm beyond three sheets at this point

13:18

.

13:19

Four sheets .

13:20

Four , yeah , four or five sheets to the end and

13:24

I'm like I'm ready to go , I'm like I'm finishing

13:26

this game and they're like no no , no , no , we're done , we're done

13:28

, we're done .

13:29

You're dying , sir .

13:32

On the way home . I

13:35

wasn't driving , my wife was

13:37

driving and I was , and I had the salad

13:39

bowl . Which

13:42

was empty at this point because everybody

13:44

ate the salad which

13:46

is beneficial for me , because I filled the

13:48

salad bowl on the way home , Ended

13:52

up sleeping in our downstairs bathroom

13:54

all night , throwing up

13:56

all night . What was left

13:58

of that , that wasn't that I didn't

14:00

put into the salad bowl and

14:03

then spent the next I'm

14:05

going to say at least full

14:07

day , if not into the second day

14:09

sleeping on

14:11

that floor in the bathroom

14:14

covered up with the rug

14:16

that was that we have in there , and

14:18

just kept the door closed and my

14:20

wife would peek in every you need some water here

14:22

and she'd slide a glass of water in

14:25

and every six hours just left me in there

14:27

and it was even

14:29

the day when I actually felt fine

14:31

to get up and move around . It

14:35

was the worst thing .

14:38

But you were in your cocoon and you came out a beautiful

14:40

butterfly .

14:42

You emerged , sir .

14:45

So that is my worst hangover .

14:47

I like that . You did it for the

14:50

love of the game . You know you

14:52

had a goal you wanted to get

14:54

signed the board . That's what I

14:56

wanted to hear . That's fucking cool .

14:59

That's legendary , and

15:02

the fact that your wife took care of you . I feel like if

15:05

I did that and was barfing in my bathroom

15:07

, my wife would just lock the

15:09

door and take the children

15:11

and leave the water for like

15:13

a week

15:16

she shut the water off , he'd wake up with realtors

15:18

selling your house , like

15:21

don't pay attention to him , he doesn't come with the

15:23

house . Just

15:26

water .

15:26

He's not a part of this family .

15:29

Wow , very good . Anybody

15:32

else he's ? I don't know if I can outdo

15:34

that .

15:36

Maybe I should have gone last .

15:40

So I can go next . I used

15:44

to have more of a superpower , but I don't

15:46

know if it's my Polish blood or whatever , but

15:48

I don't get hangovers

15:50

. So I did not get hangovers for

15:52

a while but I

15:54

still knew how to drink . And

15:57

there was one experience

16:00

I was probably early 20s

16:02

. I was living in a Winnebago with

16:04

a friend of mine and

16:06

our other buddy got

16:08

a

16:11

house sitting , basically

16:14

a mansion down in , or

16:17

was it like Del Mar , like Orange County , and

16:20

he's like come down , we'll have a little party , we'll

16:23

have fun . So we were into

16:25

cigars at this moment Dave , you've

16:27

heard this story , I think and we

16:30

got these huge cigars like

16:32

ungodly , the thickest

16:34

cigars , sixty Ringage , sixty

16:36

Ringage , it's awkward

16:39

to smoke them like very awkward , a bit girthy

16:41

, sucker , yeah . And they even had like

16:43

some mold which is called

16:45

plume , it's called plume , it's called plume

16:47

, add plume on it , which is like it's

16:49

a very well-aged like kind of you

16:52

know , it's a musty wine

16:54

kind of a thing . We took those cigars down , we

16:56

went to the party and

16:59

we're just stoked to be in the house because we live in

17:01

a Winnebago , so it's like a shower

17:03

is amazing and we get into the hot

17:05

tub . We don't know anybody , and we start drinking

17:08

whiskey , smoking

17:10

our huge cigars in a hot

17:12

tub , which for the

17:14

uninitiated don't do

17:17

. You can do one of those

17:19

things .

17:20

Yeah , don't do two of those things .

17:21

At a time and then you rest for a day

17:23

and then you can do the next thing

17:25

. But we did all three of them in

17:27

the hot tub and

17:30

at some point we're like , I don't know , I'm

17:32

gonna go to bed . Yeah , me too

17:34

. And Vernon , are you green ? Yes

17:37

, I've never seen my face green

17:40

before and it looked

17:42

green . I went and

17:44

our friend had given us rooms

17:46

in the mansion that he was

17:48

house sitting and so I knew where

17:51

my bed was . I found it

17:53

. I'm like , okay , I'm definitely ready

17:55

for bed . I lay down

17:57

and I feel like I closed

17:59

my eyes for one second . I opened

18:02

it and sat up and barfed

18:04

on myself in

18:07

the bed of this mansion

18:09

, just sat up and just puked

18:11

on my chest and

18:13

felt like there's more to

18:16

come . So this is maybe more of a

18:18

barf story , but this is as close as

18:20

a cat . So I go and I'm feeling

18:22

through the dark hallways and

18:25

both my buddy

18:27

, jeff , who lived in the Winnebake , with me

18:29

we're both filmmakers kind of starting

18:32

out and stumbling through

18:34

the hallway . I open the door and it's like Barf

18:36

all over your body , oh , yeah

18:38

, well , I think so , I probably

18:40

. And I opened the door

18:42

to the bathroom and it's Jeff

18:45

grabbing

18:47

the toilet on the ground . My

18:49

other friend is filming him just

18:52

like just laughing and I

18:54

didn't even ask any questions . I just closed

18:57

the door and felt

18:59

another door opened . It felt

19:01

something ceramic and barfed in that got

19:04

back into my barf bed , went

19:07

to sleep and woke up and all

19:09

the barf that was on

19:11

my bed and

19:13

me was black

19:15

par Like the

19:17

nasty is . Yeah

19:20

, from like the end of it was like the cigar or

19:22

the what are they called A bile

19:24

?

19:24

Where you're throwing on the bed Like the deep

19:27

shit , the deep dark stuff that

19:29

was your soul .

19:30

It was my soul .

19:31

Yeah it never been the same since . See how

19:33

it was . And now we're going .

19:35

That's when I started having hangovers

19:37

, I'm pretty sure you were possessed by a demon

19:40

.

19:40

Yeah , I barfed down . A demon for sure

19:42

.

19:43

Do we know what the ceramic thing was that

19:45

you ?

19:45

Oh yeah , I found it in the morning and it was the

19:47

laundry room , that was

19:49

the laundry sink , that .

19:51

I barfed in , but at least it was a sink .

19:53

Yeah , it was only nailed it . Good job .

19:55

Good job You're welcome , you could have waited in

19:57

the washer or dryer , and that would have been kind of

19:59

bad . But you went in the sink , which was good , and then we left

20:02

.

20:02

We left in our winnabagel like an hour later , never

20:04

heard from him again . Yeah , it

20:07

was a beautiful scene , but

20:10

I did learn a lesson and I didn't smoke a cigar

20:12

for probably five years after

20:14

cigar toast . You know I love

20:16

them , so you know it's a redemptive

20:18

story .

20:20

Yeah , you're back , better than ever .

20:21

Yeah sure , really , all

20:25

right , I'll go . So

20:27

in my early 20

20:30

, one of the things

20:32

that I liked to do after I dropped

20:34

out of college and came back to Southern

20:36

California was hang

20:38

out with my friends on some beach

20:40

Boulevard bar . Specifically

20:43

, we would go to the Verna room Probably

20:46

doesn't exist anymore and

20:49

cheap pool and get something

20:52

called Alipay . It's

20:56

like Southern Comfort . Very tight Feeling , hungover

20:59

, just hearing yeah , it's very cool , it's like

21:01

Southern Comfort and I believe , seven up

21:03

and you like slam the shot to

21:05

make it , and

21:08

so we had lots of those . I

21:10

believe like Lakers

21:12

playoff time , like in the early 2000s

21:15

lots of those , I believe . So

21:18

we were having like a great time . But

21:21

so during that time

21:23

I was also working as

21:26

a loader for UPS

21:28

, so I my basically my

21:30

job was to load brown truck

21:32

for . So

21:35

what I would do is just go out with my

21:37

friend from go

21:41

home and like get up

21:43

and work and

21:46

like fully , like not even like really

21:48

hung for at that point , just like still fully

21:51

, and like

21:53

my supervisor would come in like

21:56

brewery , yeah , yeah

22:01

. So I would basically like do

22:04

my job , like loading the brown truck

22:06

to head off in the morning and

22:09

loading work truck and

22:11

I end up like

22:13

one for

22:16

the , so four

22:18

trucks , and so

22:21

I run

22:23

like five or six packages to like

22:25

different trucks . Then I run over to the trash

22:27

. Can , yeah ?

22:31

Oh my gosh .

22:33

Load more trucks Run

22:35

over to the trash can . It

22:37

was a mess , but

22:40

no yeah

22:43

.

22:44

What's the life lesson ?

22:45

there Don't work for UPS .

22:51

I was hoping the truck was going to leave somewhere

22:54

.

22:55

There was nothing coming out .

22:57

It didn't come out of both ends , I only came

22:59

out of one end .

23:00

I'm glad it didn't , but yeah , it

23:02

was . It was a rough time . I

23:04

think that happened on more than one occasion , but

23:07

like yeah , one specifically stuck

23:09

out in my mind I

23:11

think it was like during the winter season , like

23:14

packages are like three times more . Well

23:20

, it is true .

23:22

You mentioned Alabama slime . Have you ? Is

23:24

anybody familiar with a cement mixer ?

23:26

Oh gosh , I'm not . Yes , those

23:28

are not fun .

23:29

That's in my second hangover .

23:32

Those are like the joke shots that you

23:35

get when they turn over .

23:35

Nobody asks for one .

23:38

John , I don't know what that is , it's essentially

23:40

you .

23:41

Two shots , yes .

23:43

It's Baileys , I believe in one , and lime juice in

23:45

the other . Oh no , and

23:50

you shoot the . Baileys , and then you shoot

23:52

the lime juice and then you swish

23:54

it and the lime juice curdles

23:57

the cream . So

23:59

now it tastes incredible

24:01

, it tastes good but

24:03

it does not want to go down . But the texture

24:05

is cottage cheese . And

24:07

then now you have to swallow those I'm

24:10

out on this drink .

24:12

If anybody offers you a cement

24:14

mixer . You say no . Like

24:17

it is something that you give to like 21

24:19

year olds that don't know any better .

24:21

Yep , you

24:23

send the words , Cardle .

24:25

I was out . Yeah , I was in . It's disgusting . I'll

24:28

go Just

24:31

kind of . This whole time I've been

24:33

thinking of a story

24:35

which is quite memorable , but it's

24:38

actually like my worst drinking

24:40

story , my worst being drunk story

24:43

. I don't really remember the hangover much . You

24:46

can give the quick version which is my

24:49

first time drinking . I

24:51

drank way too much and ended up in the hospital

24:53

.

24:54

It's your first time .

24:55

Yeah , I had a nice day Party

24:58

at our house . We had a keg of Guinness

25:00

. I don't know , six , seven pints

25:02

I don't know , and a few

25:04

shots of Irish whiskey , a couple shots

25:06

of rum .

25:07

That was your first time drinking .

25:09

I think I had had a beer or two

25:11

beers , I was 21 . I

25:14

mean , I was before that . I was like proud

25:16

straight edge , you know , and I was

25:18

okay . Now I live away from home . I'm

25:20

college . I went crazy

25:22

and then ended up asking

25:24

my roommate to take me to the hospital two

25:27

IV bags , but

25:30

I honestly don't remember the hangover . Oh , because

25:32

you have the IV bag . I can't believe it at that . Real

25:35

quick , was it ?

25:35

an .

25:36

IV bag and eat , because this is a thing . Was

25:38

it a double IV bag at the same time , or just one

25:40

after the other ?

25:41

One after you .

25:42

Okay , that's fine .

25:43

What's the difference ? Oh , I'm curious

25:45

.

25:46

If you're in dire straits , they give you two . If you're in

25:48

dire straits , they double bag you at the

25:50

same time . So I was just curious .

25:52

I don't know , but I do remember the nurse asking I

25:55

may have been hitting on her Smart

25:58

. I remember her asking what

26:01

she was doing Like what . So what are you doing After you

26:04

saved my life , After you ?

26:05

clean up my view . No , her asking , not me . You're back

26:07

there . So what's going on ? You know

26:09

the standard question .

26:11

So what's ?

26:11

why are you here ? What's going ?

26:12

on . What's the matter ? What do you do ?

26:16

I think my response was I threw up and I threw

26:18

up . I think my response was I

26:21

threw up . And since

26:23

childhood I've always had like

26:25

this reflex where once

26:27

I threw up , I just keep throwing . If

26:29

you can just give me a shot and get me out of here and

26:32

my roommate's standing next to me like elbowing

26:34

me or what you drank ? Tell her what

26:36

you drank , and then they

26:38

anyway . This

26:40

was not the hangover story , so I can stop now or

26:42

I can tell the alternate .

26:44

Oh , it's like an anti-hangover . Like you

26:46

were saved by a lawyer

26:48

, I was saved by the hospital .

26:50

Yeah , I want to know if you got that day

26:53

. Did you get that day ? Not that I recall .

26:56

No , wow , not as I recall . Yeah , wow

26:58

, lawyerly answer yeah .

27:00

He is a lawyer . Strong tricks of words

27:02

yeah , didn't

27:04

happen .

27:05

I did not have sexual issues .

27:09

It depends on what the meaning of is is .

27:17

David , alex , dave , you're me .

27:19

I honestly I don't have a good one and it's not

27:22

worth like . I just have

27:24

bad hangover stories , but none of them are bangers

27:26

, so I don't want to waste anyone's time with mine . But you have

27:28

been hungover . Oh incredibly

27:31

, yeah , incredibly . But , like , none of them are good

27:33

stories . It's just , you know , like you're hungover

27:35

.

27:36

What's the best place

27:38

you've been hungover

27:40

. How about that ?

27:42

Right , so I'll give you the one that stands out

27:44

and it's not like necessarily best place , but

27:47

my worst hangover was I

27:49

did a Costco . I got my own apartment

27:51

back in 2012 and

27:54

I was really proud . My goal was to be like

27:56

a parents' apartment , like that has all

27:58

the shit . You know how you go like to a parents' house

28:00

and they've got like frozen

28:02

stuff that you could just heat up and you're just like

28:04

wow , I just again they've got your , they've

28:06

got your free suns , they've got everything . So

28:10

, like I like , stocked the house because

28:12

I like when my friends come over , I want them to be able

28:14

to eat and drink and have whatever they want , because I lived

28:16

with roommates and there was never anything . It was

28:18

Soviet Union in every country . So

28:23

I like stocked up the house and , of course , like

28:25

I was like , oh , there's a . I was at Costco . I was like

28:27

, oh , there , you know , I'll get the handle of bullet . And I was

28:29

like , oh , they had just come out with bullet rye . It

28:31

was like new . So I was like I bought the handle

28:33

of bullet rye , I brought it home and

28:36

so you were rich back then . I was rich , I

28:38

, just I wasn't rich but I stocked up

28:40

the place and I had bullet rye and

28:42

I had like a couple glasses of bullet rye

28:44

, which is not good whiskey for the record

28:47

, but bullets fine for

28:49

a mix . Yeah .

28:52

And it is what it is .

28:53

No , I like it .

28:56

But like bullet rye , like rocks , is not necessarily what it's built for

28:59

.

28:59

It's not what it's built for . It's a cocktail .

29:01

How old were you at the time ?

29:03

Not that young , like 26 , 27 , something

29:05

like that , and still 26, .

29:06

you know you're okay with it , but I'm not

29:08

wearing shit up , so I have a

29:10

couple and you

29:12

stopped having gushers in the cupboard .

29:14

Yeah , yeah . So I had a couple glasses of whiskey and then

29:16

my now wife , then girlfriend came over . Hey

29:18

.

29:18

Jody .

29:19

Yeah , she came over and we're hanging out watching

29:21

a movie or whatever , and she just was like in a

29:23

more hospitable mood than

29:25

normal and she's like do you want another drink

29:27

? And I was like sure , and so she would just go in . We're

29:29

watching a movie , lights are off , and she would bring

29:31

me a glass of whiskey and I would just drink

29:34

it . And then , sorry , do you remember what movie I

29:36

don't remember , okay , and the

29:38

weapon .

29:40

I wish it was like a tight story like present Well

29:44

to me Coming to America .

29:47

So she just kind of threw out the night like kept

29:49

bringing me glasses of whiskey and I had no real

29:51

concept of you know , lights off watching a movie

29:53

, I just kept drinking whiskey , you know . It was fine . And

29:56

then she left . We didn't

29:58

live together . She left and went home at the end of the night and I went

30:00

to bed and I woke up the next morning

30:03

and I was like I'm not hungover , I'm dying , Like

30:05

I'm not , yeah . And

30:07

so I was like I'm going to go for a walk to the ocean

30:09

because I lived , you know , like three blocks from the ocean

30:12

and I like go for a walk to the ocean where

30:14

you were going to go to die .

30:15

Yeah , to die , and

30:17

I'm going to go and I just like randomly

30:20

I'm like oh boy , here it comes .

30:21

And I just like I'm walking and I'm like thinking walking

30:24

will help . It doesn't help , and I just like Ralph , like

30:26

on the side of the street , like like

30:29

great , you know .

30:29

so I , I'm not in the sand

30:31

on the beach .

30:32

No , I didn't , I don't , I do .

30:34

You were a respectable hobo , yeah , or

30:37

somewhere off the side of the I think

30:40

I've rallied and made it to the

30:42

beach .

30:42

But yeah , I ended up like so and like

30:44

my hangover wasn't , it wasn't improving , it was not

30:46

good . Like I told you , the story isn't good and

30:49

so I . I could not shake

30:51

the hangover . So I eventually

30:53

was like I feel like I'm actually dying , like

30:56

no matter what I drink , I can't hydrate . So

30:58

I was like I'm going to , like I had health

31:00

insurance . I was like I'm just going to go to the urgent care and

31:02

get an IV , like and get some

31:04

hydration in me . So I get to the urgent care

31:07

and they're like oh , there's a supply chain

31:09

shortage , so we

31:11

don't have IV bags . And I was like but

31:13

like I'm going to die .

31:15

This is pre pandemic .

31:18

No , this is urgent care .

31:20

And the one on ocean Boulevard 555

31:22

ocean Boulevard .

31:23

Shout out to there's another one

31:25

, sorry , they

31:31

gave me . They gave me a pill

31:33

to help with nausea and

31:36

then they gave me one styrofoam cup

31:38

with like four ounces of water in it and

31:43

31:45

story is the following day I went out into

31:48

32:00

was more than halfway gone . So

32:07

. There's nothing to do with this . My wedding .

34:10

We did a DIY wedding in Chicago . We drove

34:12

from LA

34:15

all the way to Chicago with a full wedding

34:17

in our SUV and

34:20

we were exhausted aside from work

34:23

and just doing the whole DIY wedding and getting

34:25

everything set up and everything just stacked boom

34:27

, boom , boom , boom , boom up to the wedding day . Well

34:30

, we had a rehearsal night and

34:32

then that night everyone wanted to take

34:35

me out , all the guys , so we went out

34:37

. We started at three dots in a dash

34:39

, which is basically the bamboo club here , the

34:41

Tiki lounge . So just

34:43

sugary Tiki drinks just for the first

34:45

hour Sounds lovely . And then

34:48

just shots of tequila and everything . I

34:51

had been up . We drove from

34:53

LA to Chicago in like almost record

34:55

time . I had no sleep , I drove

34:57

straight through , so

34:59

I was just out of it at that point and

35:02

just drinking heavily like that After

35:06

the Tiki

35:08

room is where everything starts to

35:10

go fuzzy . Everything starts to go fuzzy . We

35:13

ended up in a place called the Electric Hotel

35:15

, which is a nightclub . They

35:18

my brother got like my

35:21

brother got like table service

35:23

and there was one of those

35:25

stupid giant bottles

35:27

of gray goose like the sparkler on top

35:29

that whole thing . Not

35:32

my vibe , but I just remember

35:34

just getting fed and I don't remember much

35:36

after that . I remember getting up trying to

35:38

find one of my brothers at the bar and

35:41

I had these really cool

35:43

, what I thought was cool , like suede

35:46

shoes . And

35:48

I was walking through and I'm

35:50

a very patient guy , but there's just those

35:52

little things that get me . And

35:54

I remember walking through the nightclub

35:56

trying to find my brothers and this giant

35:59

Russian guy , and at this point

36:01

lights are out . This giant

36:03

Russian guy stepped on my foot and

36:08

I fucking clocked him out , clocked

36:10

him , knocked him out , his whole

36:13

, the whole Soviet Union came .

36:18

So you this is nuts Currently

36:21

.

36:21

this is why we're on this Soviet Union

36:23

. Who knew himself , right

36:25

or ?

36:26

left and did he black out immediately

36:28

?

36:28

I think it was .

36:28

Putin .

36:29

Well , I think .

36:30

From what it was told it was

36:32

one shot , one kill .

36:34

Anything you were playing . I knocked him out

36:36

and one hit .

36:37

I don't remember any of it . And then they fucking

36:39

just pummeled me . And then my brother

36:42

, my brother-in-law came with

36:44

a look-very goose . It just

36:46

started dumping it on the Russians . My

36:49

brother's got involved . I got dragged out

36:51

. There's a photo

36:53

of me being propped up against like a

36:55

note parking sign .

36:57

Weekend of Brings .

36:58

Yeah , yes , covered

37:00

in blommet and bruises . The

37:03

next day was not the wedding , but Thank

37:06

God , I woke up . I

37:08

woke up in Airbnb With

37:11

a knot on the back of my head and I

37:13

was told that my brothers and friends

37:16

couldn't carry me up the stairs to the

37:18

to the second story of

37:20

what we're saying and my head

37:22

slammed in the door . So I had a huge knot

37:24

in the back of my head . I woke up instantly

37:27

. Everything out Throughout

37:29

. I had the shakes all day . My

37:33

soon to be wife wanted

37:36

me to go pick up the wedding dress and deliver it to

37:38

like where she was

37:40

at with her parents getting ready for the wedding day .

37:43

My brother-in-law was there .

37:44

That's the material right there . So I

37:46

went , yeah , I went . I

37:49

took an Uber to go get the wedding dress

37:51

delivered it . I

37:53

told my brother to come outside to the Uber , handed

37:56

him a random sighted building and I

37:58

fucking graffitied the whole building . I

38:00

was like projectile vomit , just

38:03

shaking , like shaking

38:05

. And my wife's

38:08

parents are very , very , very religious

38:10

people that don't drink and I was shell

38:13

shocked to go into that house to

38:15

be around them that day . And

38:17

my father-in-law looked

38:19

at me and he goes oh , you got rocked

38:22

. And I had never heard this

38:25

Christian man

38:27

say these words , the word rocked . And

38:29

every half an hour I would say

38:31

I had to go to the bathroom but I'd go out the front

38:34

door to the side of the building to my

38:36

same spot . And

38:38

just , they know , you were there . This

38:40

poor neighbor who had

38:43

lived next to this Airbnb just

38:45

got her flower bed , just like just littered

38:48

. Her flower bed got rocked

38:50

. And if you look at my wedding photos , I

38:52

have a giant knot on the side of my head

38:54

, I have a bruise under my eye and

38:57

that's my that's my story .

38:59

You're gonna see graffiti on the side of

39:01

your in-laws house and your father-in-laws

39:03

outside the window and I was like hey , alex , I

39:05

should have gone to the house walk Because I clearly

39:07

had alcohol poisoning from shaking that violently

39:10

.

39:10

So wow , Besides

39:13

the violence that you put out , and

39:16

I've done a lot of stupid shit in college to get

39:18

to that point too , but that was the last . It's

39:22

never again .
