We are here live from HQ3. Welcome back, everybody. Lots to discuss, lots to go over. So much. Lots to touch on. Bursting. Bursting at the seams. Lots. We have new hats. New hats. Why don't you go ahead and unveil that. Take the veal off that. You know that when you take that out of the plastic, it instantly loses 70% of its value, right? Yeah, but that's game touch, little Sass. Oh. That's like when Michael Jordan sweats on something. Yeah. And the value. Those are actually the best things we've ever made. Dude Perfect is actually about to start selling some Boy Dad hats. They are. They should. They should. Um, do you want to talk about the fact that Dude Perfect tried to fucking sewer your career? They tried to take everything that you've built over years and years and make it their own. They tried to bury me. They tried to wipe you off the fucking map like you never existed. I know. That made me irrationally angry. It didn't really make me angry at all. I thought it was just funny. It was just funny because like how much the Internet's changed where it's like that's just like what happens. Like it used to be like if you stole something on the Internet, people would be like, what the fuck people would lose. Even if you did something that was like similar to other people, people would like lose their minds. And now it's like you can just like recreate things and just be like, well, no, we're just following the trend. Yeah, they tried to pretend like it was a trend or a meme or something. Yeah. And it was like, well, you guys edited a video of the guy and put it on the TV. Like that seems like that was pretty like you went out of your way. Like we're going to go word for word what this original video did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it did not make you mad. No, it didn't. It genuinely didn't make. I was never like, oh, my God, they're going to like this video is going to like surpass my video. Well, it's because the Internet had your back from the fucking jump. You're the Internet's favorite son. You were born of the Internet. How could they have thought that was a good idea? How could they have thought we love this video and we're going to make we're going to cover it? The I was talking to. We're going to do like an acoustic cover. Yeah, I was talking. But. But none of us can sing. I was talking to a homeless pimp about it. And he was saying he thinks that it's because they have such a young fan base that maybe they didn't know that maybe that they were like, they won't even know that we stole it. That must be what they were playing for. Yeah. But you're younger than them. I don't know. I mean, I said it to you guys. I said it to everybody. Like the funniest thing to me was when they just like like because they posted it. We were doing a stream for Bush and Mook was like, dude, perfect. Stole your video. And then I went and I was looking at it. I was looking at like all the comments and like they had like at that time they had like a couple of replies being like, you stole this from Sass. And then they were they were just replying to everyone being like, they're like, they're like, well, Sass is well, like Sass will always be the OG. And I kept on just being like, what does that like? What does that mean? Yeah. What is that? What is that? Is that like they're suggesting that like I'll always have like the original idea, but like they came out and they did it better. So this is the new video. Dude, like that's what they're insinuating by. Paying that is they're like, well, he'll always have the original. Sass can rest now. Yeah. It's like that's why I sent you the Colin Coward thing. Hey, we're good now. We got this. LeBron had the last 10 years. It's Ben Simmons now. His video was due for a little modernization, a little sprucing up. And so we figured we'd bring it to the new audience. Yeah. I'm trying to think like, you know, because in music covers are a thing. It's a tried and true, wonderful thing and can breathe new life into his songs. And go become hits and all of that. And everyone's fine with that. But in comedy, if I went up tomorrow on stage. Yeah. And just did Eddie Murphy's Delirious. Yeah. Pretty much word for word. Yeah. You're like Eddie's. And I'd be like, he's he's listen, he's one of my all time favorites. Yeah. And but I never said like, by the way, I want to honor Eddie Murphy. Yeah. Because Louis would do. And I remember watching the sort of eulogy for Richard Carlin. And he. He was like, George. Excuse me. Jesus Christ. Richard Pryor. George Carlin. He was doing. He was like, he told jokes that I loved and I want to do them. Yeah. Yeah. And like, there was an honoring to that. But it was only like once he had died. It was like. Yeah. That's how you. So dude. Perfect. Can do this at your funeral. Yeah. Once I'm dead. Yeah. With tears coming down their face. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. At your memorial. Did I just get fucking drafted? I didn't even get through this. That would have been a funny take on it, too. Like, I think that there were any type of other take on it other than the same exact right down the middle. Yeah. I mean, it was just like, it's just funny because it's like, it's by far the most popular thing I've ever done. Like, it's not even close. It's just such a funny video to be like, yeah, we're going to take this like word for word. And that's also like. No one's going to know. It's like Disney taking it. Yeah. Like, Dude Perfect is like such like a wholesome, like, for the kids trick shot brand. Yeah. It's like Pixar is actually going to be making the draft video. Now. Yeah. I mean, I think these people just get so big, like they don't give a fuck. Like that guy, that guy that made it like the the main Dude Perfect guy, like they probably someone probably just sat him down and was like, just film this. Like, he probably doesn't even I'd be surprised if he's even seen the real video. Oh, I think for sure. He watched yours to prepare himself. He's like, I got to learn my line. I don't know. I don't know. I need to rehearse. Yeah, maybe. But it was like an off Broadway production of it. Like, he didn't even hit the finger point. Oh, my God. Now, when he did the finger point, do the finger point live. Show us how the finger points are supposed to be done. I'm not going to do it, but I got levels to the finger point. There are. That's the most important part, too. And it's so nuanced. You have to give it a beat. Yeah. You hear your name. You give it a beat. Look at the camera camera and go like, I mean, I don't want to. I mean, you can't even. I'm embarrassed. Right. I would never. Yeah. Dane. I mean, the finger point was I got like a physical cringe when I saw that. It was so bad. I was like, oh, man. Well, because he also needed to be like one and a half. Corona's in. Yeah. Yeah. I just get drafted. Like, yeah, that energy. It's also not as funny when you're filming it at like your fucking compound. Yeah. Yeah. Like your massive fucking fantasy factory office with like slides and shit. Every NFL player. Maybe maybe stick to kicking beach balls into like fucking golf holes that are the size of, you know, the moon craters. I don't I didn't have an opinion of Dude Perfect prior to that. Oh, that's the thing. The thing is, I'm a diehard fan. That's what's most heartbreaking about it. That's what sucks. That's what hurts. I don't think you've ever missed a video. No, no. I truly didn't. I was like, they do their thing. They've been super successful. I think it's for a young audience. Maybe that is an opinion. I don't know. But I had no negative thoughts about them. I never felt like we were competing with them in any way. Has there been like Dude Perfect? Like, was it Big Cat or PFT that hates Dude Perfect? At the very beginning of part of my take, they had Bro Sweet, which was like their version of Bro Sweet. And they would just be like, Bro Sweet! And like, just like jump up on the side of a table. That's hilarious. It was so funny. But that's like how long they've been lampooning Dude Perfect. It's like been a clean 10 years. I mean, Dude Perfect was around when I remember when the fucking main dude was fat as fuck. And now he's like, he's got like a zempic face. Look at that. Bro Sweet. that's hilarious that's so funny sweet but when i saw that video that he did of your video i my thought immediately was like how could these guys be popular i was just like that is the hackiest but most pathetic thing it made me angry yeah i just don't think that they're like uh like they don't try to be funny necessarily. Well, no, they're contents for like Christian. That's trying to be funny. But like Christian 12-year-old from Iowa. Yeah, I think that was their first attempt. Like that was the first go at it. No, come on. They think they're funny. They definitely think they're funny. I can't imagine they think they're. I bet their fans think they're funny. Which in turn means that they believe they have to deliver humor. Yeah, but their fans are like 12. That's what I mean. But it's like how Rafi's funny. It's how like Sesame Street is like funny to like a four-year-old. It's like funny, but it's funny for that group. It's not necessarily your sass is nuanced edgelord humor that he did. I got a bad feeling. I'm going to run into that guy. I just feel like you're ever going to run. I think I am. I think he's not walking around like New York City. By the way, I'm not going to attack him, but I will tell him. I'll be like that thing you did. That was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen a fucking content creator. He'll be like, I don't even know what you're referring to. He's also, he probably has four security guards by him. I'll be like, hey, listen, Omar, let your boy know that video. He did fucking most pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life. Or you try to Red Rover through a security, like charge through this. Yeah. I just need to let you know, but it got community noted. Like that's all you could ask for. I'm sure he knows that he fucked up. I bet he doesn't feel that hot pressure that other content creators feel when they like are getting lampooned online. This is a nearly. The exact recreation is so damning with no credit given of a skip by Barstool Sports. The personality, a little Sasquatch, you have people coming out of the woodwork to give you a credit. I saw Stephen A. Smith was like, really? Yeah. Give the real credit to sad. I heard it was originally of a skit by a comedian, little Sasquatch. And Dave reached out to Twitter and was like, please add Barstool Sports. Yeah. Personality. I know I was wondering where that came in from. Given by Barstool Sports. Personality, little Sasquatch. Couldn't they couldn't go son of a boy, dad, son of a boy, dad, merch in the video. Yeah. By son of a boy, dad, co-host, little Sasquatch, Harry Settle. Yeah, that would help. That would help the brand. But yeah, just tough weekend for them. But so nice to have the Internet rallying around our boy, little Sas. It was. It was good. Yeah, it was funny. It was good. I had a good laugh. Good, good, good, fun, good, fun evening reading the comments. Yeah, people were people only had your back. Oh, yeah. Big Cat definitely got it on a big stage for you. Yeah, yeah. I was texting Big Cat about it. How dare they just just ripping on the on the dude. Perfect boys behind closed scenes. You know, yeah, I closed. Oh, yeah. Wow. That's nasty of you guys. Maybe we got I was trying to because like I was trying to think of a funny like, I mean, I guess they already did it with Dude Sweet or what was it? Bro Sweet. Bro Sweet. Bro Sweet. Because I was last night I was watching Dude Perfect videos trying to be like, what could I steal? That would be funny. But the thing is, like, they're all the same video. So it's like. Or imagine you trying to steal like a video of them, like making a shot from the rafters of the Superdome. But you have to. It takes like 12 hours for you to do. That was the thing was like I went to like their most popular videos on YouTube and it's like, oh, well, I couldn't even recreate these if I wanted to. I was going to say, like, what are you going to rent a small plane? Yeah. All right, everybody. This is me dropping an aid package in Gaza. Yeah. Hey, kids. Hey, kids. Catch this. It's rice. Like I was going to like the like I watched like the golf ones where they're hitting it and I was like, well, I don't have a piece of plywood that has these perfect four circles in it to chip golf balls at. Yeah. I'm going to skydive from the ozone layer. Yeah. To replicate Bro Sweet. That's actually a pretty good way of getting over. Over something is just looking around and realizing like, you know, to do any sort of revenge or response would require me to leave my comfort zone. Yeah. And I don't want to do that. I just didn't have the materials really. That's what it came down to. The resources. Yeah. The access to the fucking NFL stadiums that you need. Yeah. The circular saw that needs to cut a perfect hole in a piece of plywood. They definitely have stage crew. Yeah. I don't know. I don't have a set designer handy. Just using a fucking knife trying to just cut into it at my apartment. Yeah. Like you said, the video just hits so much harder of it just being a New York dude in a shitty apartment. Yeah. Yeah. A dude in like a multi-billion dollar establishment. Yeah. That guy looked like he could have been drafted. Yeah. Yeah. There's nothing inconsequential. Did I just get drafted? Yeah, man. You thought you might. You have a trainer. You have an agent. You play college football. You did the combine. You're sitting on turf right now. Your entire life is throwing footballs. Your couch is resting on turf. Oh, my God. How did the filming go this weekend? Good. It went very well. I was happy with it. I was super fucking nervous. Why? I wanted to cancel it multiple times. The SSRIs weren't hitting? Oh, no. They were working overtime. I had to take a whole concoction. A lot of L-theanine this weekend. Who featured for you? John Kennedy and Tristan Bowling. You know Tristan, right? I probably do. Yeah. But does he have the red hair? No. He's got like long, dark hair. He's on like skanks a good bit. Oh, cool. I'm sure I know him. He's at the stand a lot. Oh, I love this guy. Yeah, I love this guy. I don't know if we've seen him yet. He hosts at the stand and he's really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I had him and John Kennedy and they switched. You know, it was really funny during the. Well, I guess it's not funny depending on what team you're a fan of. So John Kennedy's a huge Minnesota fan. Obviously, he's a Timberwolves fan. He was locked in on the Timberwolves game the whole night. He went up there winning. Things are going great. And then he gets off. Season's over. Oh, fuck. Everybody's hurt. We literally had to like sit him down in the green room and be like, yo, there was an injury. Yeah, what did you tell him? We pretty much. I mean, he walked in and he was seeing the replays of fucking. And just overextending. What did the injury end up being, did they say? Broken heart. Broken heart. It was me. It was bad. David Chenjo got one too, yeah. That was like. Like right before, right? Yeah. Yeah. That's sad, bro. It's absolutely heartbreaking. That was supposed to be the next Jordan. Yeah, and then there was. And then there was just some guy in the green room. It was like me and just some dude that worked at Rodney's. And he was like, bro, I had 30 bucks on it tonight. He was like, he was destroyed. He was devastated about it. And I'm like about to go up. And I'm just talking to this random guy about Anthony Edwards. His 30 buck bet? Yeah. Sometimes it's nice to have that kind of like distraction where you're talking about nothing that has to do with your performance that you're about to give. Yeah, I pretty much. I mean, the way that I went about it was I just tried not to think about it at all. And it actually helped. About the Ant Edwards thing? About the Ant. Like when I was on stage, I was like, don't get caught up in Ant. Like, obviously, it's going to fuck with my performance a little bit. Let's try to still enjoy tonight. I can afford to leave. I can't afford to lose $30. I paid more than that this evening. How many camera angles did you have? I think five. Jesus Christ. Nice. Yeah. That's what I was nervous about. It's like a Tyler Perry movie. Yeah, it was like a whole. Like, so homeless pimp shot it. That sounds like housed pimp. Yeah. He's got five cameras now. Yeah, wealthy mansion pimp. Must be nice. Yeah, definitely not homeless anymore, but. Waterfront property pimp. Do you know him? Just from hearing people. They talk about him, shoot specials. Yeah, he does a lot of specials. And so it was good. I mean, I was nervous because I was like, obviously, he films for like Bargatze and Soder and all these like huge comics. And I didn't know what. Like, I thought I was going to get up on stage and there was going to be like, you know, like some dude sitting in the crane four feet away from the stage. Or a dude like reflecting light onto you with a big white board. I imagined myself on stage just like. Just like drenched in sweat. Just trying to get through the jokes. And then we. Luckily, I was able to do like a sound check and like a lighting check before. And then I got to see like the whole setup and everything. And that made me feel way better. And then once I was on stage, it was like you couldn't even tell. But the only thing you could see was like a tiny red light. Did you get a sense that like the people in the crowd knowing that they were being filmed were over laughing? Because I would want to stack the deck like at a daytime talk show. Like how the. The Rachel Ray audience scream laughs whenever she says something. Like yes and no. Like no. Like when I was doing my jokes, I was like the reaction is similar to what I get on the road. Like maybe it was a little bit more, if anything. So like a little bit. But like when I got brought up, that's when I was like, ah. I was like, this is a little much. Like people are like screaming. They were? Yeah, yeah. I was just thinking about that. The Joe List bit in the beginning of his special where he's like, no one's going to believe that was real. you have to that and whatever you put out yeah yeah i mean uh yeah so like the first show also like my agent my manager and my like everyone was there so i didn't invite anybody though they kept on being like do you want any like comps anyone and i was like i don't want a single person that i'm like no that i know at this like i want this to be like just business and i think that was the right strategy honestly nice no need to make it more like people are like flying their parents in and shit like i would be shitting my pants yeah i'm already nervous i don't need my dad standing in the fucking third row she's like tearing up yeah yeah you do a joke and he turns to someone he's like i told him not to yeah he's just shaking his head he's keeping his head down again trying to cut across the open ice we've talked about other guys out there harry other guys on the team around no dad there aren't this is stand-up but yeah i mean it went well it was such a weight off the shoulders getting it done because i was like really nervous like i say like oh i was nervous like honestly weirdly enough like thursday and friday i was significantly more nervous than i was on saturday like days building up to saturday i was like just like pacing around my apartment just being like this is a bad idea yeah couldn't eat yeah yeah no no food that's the worst 2 a.m i would be like i need taco bell that is the worst what's your comfort food on a day game or like on a game day when you're about literally nothing really i ate i ate i went i woke up i went to the gym hard fought some demons in the gym nice and then i had eggs and bacon and then i didn't eat anything until midnight damn yeah wow what about you francis i know that you have a nice farm farm to table little salad set up chop maybe dude i remember like my senior year we would go we'd have like team breakfasts before games and by like the sixth game of the season or seventh game i i wasn't really playing that much and i was just like yeah i'm not gonna play today and i would load my plate up and then one day believe it or not ryan stevens ryan stevens got hurt i think he had a shoulder injury or concussion yeah and they were like francis get ready and i was like i ate four pancakes and omelet yeah hash browns i was like i'm gonna need to throw up first if you mean get ready did you no i just went out and sucked are you sluggish super sluggish oh no i felt like i had just instant cramps it's like running with a weight vest on yeah you can't bog down too much when you're gonna do and it's not even a weight vest even just the physical i'm sure makes it way harder but anything that like you have big stakes that day all right mine's just the nerves like i know like anything that i eat i'm just gonna projectile shit out of my ass in 30 seconds so it's like there's no point of even eating i'll projectile vomit projectile shit projectile shit how can you even tell if a shit is a projectile you can tell you can feel it you end up with holes in your underwear well that one was there before um it's like when someone gets shot with shrapnel it's just like little holes in your underwear yeah it's like when someone gets shot with shrapnel it's just like little holes in your underwear to the sleeve the only time i did get i did get nervous was like uh i was probably like so i i i filmed probably like 45 minutes but i think the plan was like only to put out say i don't even know but like around 30 and um so like it was supposed to be like i i technically like i would i would end like i wouldn't say anything to the crowd i'd be like that's like where it's gonna end and then i would just do like some other jokes just to like make them feel like they got their money yeah exactly keep the show going and uh at one point like when i was like i like finished up where i thought i was done and i like i i went to like check my timer and i was like seven minutes short and i was like oh fuck i must have been flying in the beginning of the set and then we did the second one and it went back to the regular time had you just forgotten some parts no i didn't forget anything i think i was just going way too fast yeah like i was just jacked up nervous yeah do you feel like you're you're like don't tell one i feel like that was pretty fast the don't tell one i was flying flying i think the second one of this was like i thought the first one was like we got it and then the second one everyone was like that was that was definitely the one yeah but uh it always is it's always that way dude it was for some reason like i don't know what it is it was so much like like the level of nervousness that i was for the don't tell was so much more intense than this and i think it's just because i was like i was like because like this it's like you pay for the whole thing out of your pocket it's like you're taping it's your footage it's all like you can do whatever you want with it so it's like worst case scenario if it sucks you're like all right well that was a waste of money but like the don't tell it's like oh this is going out no this is going out no matter what and it's also like if you fuck up a joke they're like we can fly you back out to san diego in three months and you're like oh my god i don't want to have to do that at all so you're like i remember doing the don't tell joke like this is i'm gonna have to come back to san diego and redo the joke and then they were then luckily you know but this was just like you can do whatever you want cool thank god i'm relieved for you me and francis were worried sick going into it so i'm relieved for you yeah

stand it was like one of the late shows in like the main room and i remember being on stage it was like i like i don't even think i was doing particularly well and i just remember just some dude in the front row just looking at me and going kb gonna have that and i was there was like 10 people in the room and i was like bro no one else in the room knows what you're talking about right now did you say that to him in real time yeah yeah i was like no one understands that reference except for just me and you i guess that's better than just being like huh yeah that's true that's true oh roan oh you finished up your house stuff yeah yeah yeah you want to talk about that at all or not really i mean it was uh yeah i i don't i don't know what there is to say i was really just asking these people questions if i had lived it i feel like i'd have more experiences but i was in deep at the end were you i was well i was like ready at 12 30 every day yeah i had it all had it open on the computer i saw you in the set in the chat being like where's little sass did you see me in the chat no i didn't have the chat you didn't have it up because i kept on typing in it and then it was moving too quick oh yeah that's the worst about those chats maybe i should have had it open just to get questions in real time from the people there wasn't the chat was pretty negative yeah it wasn't i mean it wasn't like it wasn't even negative it was just like they wanted you to like ask questions that you were just never gonna ask yeah yeah yeah yeah they always want to they want questions asked that are never gonna ask just talk about the big f situation what do you want me to fucking what do you want me to say what statement do you want me to make about like any situation yeah but it was uh i cannot believe these are grown-ups like spending eight days in las vegas where they drink from the moment they wake up until like 5 a.m every day bro even doing that like even doing that for like three days you're you're dude vegas is a two night maximum for me i mean i did vegas last time i went to vegas was skank fest that was literally like when i had to i was like i got to stop drinking because it was just like i had to cancel a flight because i was too hung over yeah yeah couldn't even yeah you can't i can't operate like that so it's hell i mean to fly back from vegas to chicago and then go into the office the next day yeah dude i mean i used to have i used to have a joke about the flight home from vegas yeah um because the contrast between the flight there and the flight home oh yeah and like i the last time i went to vegas i was like oh my i'm not doing the bed i promise but on the way out there there was a guy who when he got on the plane he didn't have a bag oh yeah and i was sitting in the row behind me and he didn't put anything in the overhead and he didn't put anything underneath him and the woman next to him was like oh do you do did you check a bag and he goes no and she was like what are you doing like do you not have anything you're not bringing anything and he goes i plan to win money to then buy myself clothes he goes by forcing myself to win what i need it'll make me like focus he's a hunter-gatherer yeah yeah he's like if i bring clothes it makes me try less hard it's like bad luck for me i know i'm closed yeah just go home with what's in his pockets that's insane that's insane raw dog in a fight just because you need to win yeah having to hit macy's after you're already down 20k yeah you just start stealing everything yeah picking up a pair of fucking haynes underwear from cvs we're just like going through the labyrinth of vegas to try to get out to get to a tj max or trying to find a clothing store that's not like balenciaga yeah yeah that's a tough a tough proposition but ella griff after eight straight days she just went home and just was like out at the bar in chicago like that exact night oh yeah i mean obviously like some of those people are just like built different they're lifers yeah they're lifers that's not surprising at all like it didn't look like ella griff at any point was like i gotta get out of here yeah no anxiety nikki smokes watching nikki smokes crumble was so funny well he it should never happen to him that's like watching i don't even know like a superhero with the cape off like seeing him limping down the tunnel like not being able to finish it's like wait but you're fucking batman he he left he tapped out on the last night what did he fly home or did he just fly home he just went to bed yeah he went to fucking bed at 10 o'clock he just walked down the tunnel like limping they're following him through the fucking it's brutal it's brutal you can't because you can't beat nikki smokes and you and do that yeah i had for the brand exactly he's the one on day one being like deutsch i know you're trying to fucking nap right now not cool yeah like get this shit together you cannot nap in vegas i do feel like it was crazy how many people left nine people yeah that's insane nine people the photo of the final cat yeah it's like five people i don't know who these people are it's like and anika's really hot guy like his name brady brady don't ask like you don't know and then um and then a couple other people i'd never sold finger i didn't i thought by the way i thought i was calling mook every day to get him to explain all the info to me what was going on and then i was like i don't know i don't know what's going on i don't know and i was like who's this goldfinger guy he's like oh he's the man he's the man dude he's so great like he's so funny and then i watched like some of the clips and i was like dude mook this guy goldfinger i don't know if he's the man nothing against him but like he's not not doing so well he seems like he's the child yeah he was in a bad spot really bad spot that's hell hell hell they put people in crazy spots that's why i didn't understand like goldfinger like running around the new york office being like i'm going to be it was like bro you're going out there to get fucking destroyed you're going out there to just get screamed at by your ex-girlfriend and kelly keegs i also thought i actually point blank yeah don't get on that flight also finding out that goldfinger was his real name and not like some weird fucking pseudonym i was like there's no way that his real name is goldfinger from imagine his flight to vegas how excited he is and then can you get the clip of kelly keegs like backing him down with her chest dude he's like he should have taken the charge honestly if he just plants his feet that's an offensive foul going the other way i just can't imagine like being i don't know i maybe it's because i've been to vegas or maybe it's because i just don't drink like you could tell me anything is waiting for me in vegas and still i would be like i don't want to go to vegas man like i don't want to get on that flight six hours to fucking vegas i feel the same way about vegas that i do about concerts yeah yeah totally i mean unless you're getting fucking banged up vegas can be yeah but you almost need that like a last day to like completely get sober did these people gamble at all was anyone going to the tables and playing like tommy smokes was at the blackjack table i know mikey they say found mikey betts at the blackjack table at 8 30 in the morning with a mai tai he was like i've been doing this every day he has like a small break but all the other producers were using the sleep and he would just go to the tables the electric tables not even like with the actual dealer that's the worst just like playing electric games with a mai tai at 8 30 every morning i do fuck with those though to be honest i like the ones where it's like the it's like the you're just at like a booth and you can play whatever you want and there's just like electronic dealers up front um we gotta get out to vegas vegas week yeah we just do nothing chip week um something happened to me recently that i wanted to bring to your guys attention oh wait here before i do that here holy shit abject terror you can hear the swish of his velour sweatpants even argue why is he even saying i just walk fully walk away walk away you don't have to be there oh my god he was like fired up to get out there for this wait why is she so mad at him i think he maybe stepped to her and she's a backup back the fuck up like don't you ever get in my face and why was she so mad at him before he got there because he had dated una and he was spreading rumors about una oh yeah okay got it poor guy i feel i feel bad that i said he wasn't the man it's okay i'll get i just think he's young he's a very young guy i think yeah he probably there's some stuff he probably wanted to have back that he didn't acquit himself the best um tough tough circumstance to be in yeah so what happened to you but really quick that that show once again captured the entire interest of barstool nation of of the nation beyond barstool did it really it went beyond for sure so definitely i'm wow what signed francis up no that's not what i'm saying i i am would never go humbly within a hundred miles of that i just it would i don't know it would not be something some people are built for it and uh that's not your wheelhouse well i don't like i don't like partying anymore i don't like being out late that's show is only about partying and confrontation yeah i feel like those are two things that aren't yeah i'm not so um i guess my question would be like at some point do we just love the format or at some point are they going to say like wow this continues to be my confusion here was that my impression in the early part of the show was that it was not going well the first day or maybe two it wasn't like it was just like all right like nothing's really happening you're looking for a you get like an explosive like bravo storyline of the year storyline yeah the kind of shit you dream about but it was the product of a lot of digging um by probably a lot of the producers or i see whoever hosts the show yeah i i got i was following parts of it i was following bits and pieces oh so this is a third party wow yeah this stuff this head-to-head yeah i saw i saw the thing um and uh obviously and i but i didn't i didn't know the origin story of gold off dinger yeah i was gonna say gold member um wow well oh my god oh i can't just i can't even do you feel good having been off i literally i never even watched this video no because this this was like this i watched it on mute what everyone was into and i i had a hard time uh finding it right where's peyton peyton's right here you want me to talk about it i will you remember when you got wasted at pioneers when you were an intern and told me like everything you were like i think we're talking about two different rumors i don't think so because i think we are talking about the same one and we're not allowed to say the name because it's so damaging but you told me that he was dming you at the super bowl when you were still in college he was okay but i didn't but that's not the rumor that we're talking about the rumors that i had sex with this person and i didn't you also were like you were engaging in it so it's like this isn't that crazy like i don't know why you're like so doubled down on sam true because i'm sure you're telling me you're always running this person back and i said and you also have so many fucking people that like i know that you have hooked up with and like you've told me that night and there's just so many people the one of probably how you got the job in the first place yes i was watching like embedded clips on twitter where like you can't even full screen it oh because you don't have twitter correct yeah you can't like watch videos on twitter if you don't have the app anymore and you can't watch you really can't watch videos on instagram if you try to do anything it just immediately throws you to the app store to download it it's like maybe you want the app and i'm like yeah you're i know your tricks the way that people just line up in the background for this clip like people are just from point blank range watching this confrontation go down live i do love the burl wood the burl wood is really nice that is that wood is phenomenal lovely wood oh my god and it was also like this is fucking p diddy's mansion yes that's crazy it was like the freak off that's where like the the main yeah did you see that it was available that's the vaguest equivalent of like finding out someone died in the house there's literally like there's like an article there's like p diddy had beds on the basketball court and then it's the same basketball and then it's nicky smokes like going off the bed for like a layout look at that's where they were staying damn that's where the confrontation between peyton and una went down right where diddy's son was hitting his layups was hitting mid-range jumpers wild week good for them happy for them happy for them yeah happy for them they got what they wanted did anyone come out of it being like that was really good for me dante yeah dante had the week of his life dante i love dante had a great dante finally got to his final form oh good of like finally being respected for for being the party boy that he is the man he can hang yeah dante is the man i've always been the man i've always been the man i've always been the man i've always been a dante guy i really have how could you not be how do you not how could you not love dante after this weekend i i was like hard on dante on one of the shows oh yeah you were digging it you were you guys were going at it we were going at it and then he texted me afterwards he was like what was that he was like was that some like johnny foxborough shit what's johnny foxborough is that when like bill belichick was really tough on tom brady it must be yeah i tried to look it up and i think it was like uh whenever a moniker used by bill belichick to motivate tom brady he was like was that some johnny foxborough shit and it honestly was i was like i knew that he was like the the had the highest capability of uh making some shit happen that's crazy wow oh my god he's built in the lab yeah and he did he responded to the to the cooking that's so fucking funny some johnny foxborough that's awesome he he is the man he truly is that video is nuts bro like what are we doing um but yeah francis what happened to you this weekend brother so this was actually last weekend and um so in houston uh i was staying in my hotel by the way stop me if i've already told this story i can't remember but i was waiting for mook we were going to see a movie we went and saw project hail mary which was great yeah yeah yeah did i tell you this already we talked about going to see project hail mary okay so mook's at a different hotel and he's coming and i'm on the phone talking to him and i have my air airpods in and i'm sitting on a little wall waiting for him outside my hotel and this guy comes up to me and he stands in front of me and he's like got a big smile on his face so i just thought he was a fan yeah yeah so immediately i was like hey what's up man i'm on the phone and i go hey what's up man and he goes he looks at my he looks at my hand and he's like what why are you shaking my hand yeah yeah and i'm like oh this guy's not a fan this guy has no idea who i am and he's really baffled why i would try to shake his hand so i was like mook i gotta call you back so i hang up and uh i go hey what's going on and this guy goes hi right so we've got our car and it's stuck behind a gate just there in the garage he's from new zealand yeah and i immediately was like oh my god where are you from yeah and he's like we're from new zealand and he go and i was like i was just in new zealand and he's like uh oh it's great um the problem is the guy that works at the garage it doesn't speak a word of english not a word and um we can't call the number on the gate you need an american phone to do so and i'm like i've got an american phone yeah and i'm like i got you so we start walking and he's wearing all black and he's wearing a baseball hat he's got those like uh oakley sunglasses that are like proper baseball he's got eye black on i think and um i'm like i'm like what are you what are you doing here he goes uh we play fast pitch softball and we're here for our oh wow and i was like oh my god and sure enough i get to the garage there are two full sprinter vans filled with like jacked dudes from new zealand who are all fast pitch softball players that's crazy which first of all i only thought women were allowed to play fast pitch softball i guess it's like a step below just like a men's baseball league i couldn't tell you let alone did i know that there was a world cup for it no no imagine how good it is imagine how much unreal they must be dude these guys were like jacked like i'm pretty confident they did a haka before their game they're not they're not fucking around at all they had eye black on they had like yeah they had that like samo and like tattoos and stuff oh my god they were they were serious fucking athletes and they're packed to the gills were they all from new zealand yeah that's hilarious in houston that's so funny and i'm like i want to just talk to these guys about you know i'm telling you i'm telling you look at the tattoos that's so sick maybe that is literally the team i can't imagine they have more than one you know what's crazy about the hawker i've never seen a dude who's like seems to be embarrassed to be doing it oh no you know what i mean like a lot of pride most things where you have to do something it's like all right like we have to do it like there's someone in the back a nephew that just like is going to half-ass it or roll his eyes but they're even in the back row everybody's like it's tribal yeah but nobody ever it's it is very very prideful yeah so uh first off great new zealand accent oh it's okay it was great but i was probably more of an australian but i have a hard time getting the kiwi quite right with the veils but uh so what happened did you so i i uh i get in there and uh i call the number on the on the sort of there's a qr code on the gate and again they're there they have urgency because they're now like stuck and late to the world cup of fast pitch softball yeah and they've come all the way to houston from new zealand so i pull up the qr code and there's a number and i call the number and it rings once and then someone picks up and goes hello and i was like no no like introduction as to who they are and i'm like hi um i'm we're stuck behind in this garage uh and it won't lift and get out and he goes do you have the ticket and and i wish you could do this guy because he was from bangladesh or pakistan or whatever and uh i'm like my god the confluence of cultures like wow this dude is closer to where this team is from than where we are right now yeah yeah that really struck me it's like um i you know and i'm like um no i don't think they have the ticket because the guy the coach was like no we don't have this yeah obviously and i'm like no they don't have we don't have the ticket i had to keep pretending like i was part of this yeah and i was like we don't have the ticket i'm sorry what position do you play and he was like he's like all right i and i'm like okay i'm like get in the car get in the car get in the car and um he he's like great great great and uh and the gate raises yeah and the first car gets out and then the second one drops and i had to call the guy back and i'm like hi sorry our second car couldn't get out and he goes i told you i would make one exception you said that no and i was like ah fuck i don't know what to say and he's like well give me your license plate number and so i give him the license plate number of the second car and he's like no i don't know what to say and he's like well give me your second car and he's like okay and he raises the gate and he goes out now both cars stop on the other side of the gate and i'm like wow i did a good deed i feel really good about that you know i like to be an ambassador for america right yeah yeah of course coach gets out of the fucking truck and walks back holding out a twenty dollar bill to me oh wow and i go no no no and he goes my it's the least we can do and i was like no i didn't that will undo the good deed also you know how little you know who i am is is is like the antithesis of me accepting the money you should have been like i've got an opener named mook yeah yeah yeah or i don't know i got a guy that could i was like i'm doing well enough in my life that um one that money is irrelevant and two you should know but somehow it was like the money i don't know well you're at the four seasons first of all but second of all it's like put it towards gold fingers credit card debt or something whatever dude like i i just was like please i i want i want the karma more than i want your twenty dollars and the guy on the phone's like karma oh my god okay but there's a coda to this story which is they leave and i'm feeling good i tell the whole story i actually tried to piece it out a little bit on stage that night and um a week goes by and i'm like whatever i'm still thinking about it i get a text message it's an automated message that says hi or like whatever this is you know in park houston you are being assessed a twenty five dollar late fee for not paying for your parking ticket at this garage what and because i had called the fucking phone number i was now linked my phone number was linked to the lost ticket that was not paid by the new zealand fast pitch world cup of softball team and i'm like all right there's no world on earth where they're gonna pay this ticket no no they're the they're not getting the notifications no they don't even have a phone that can call the number you need do i tie the ribbon on this good deed and pay their parking ticket and the late fee do i have to go all the way to the end in order to earn the full karma instead of just like somehow letting this languish and accrue continued late fees that will mount to the degree that like they'll someday get found through the rental van company and realize that they owe like maybe hundreds if not thousands of dollars and like i never come back they could just never come back to the u.s yeah i mean the most year though for the world cup yeah fuck the most nefarious timeline is they're like well i'm not buying it like they're just like like find a fucking yankee and then like they knew that it was going to fall on you and they were like oh my god i'm not buying it i'm not because they weren't going to submit their phone number to it i guess they have the license plate for the rental van of the second van yeah they have that license plate so the mess like when i clicked into the link that was provided it was like here's the rental thing here's the bill and here's your phone number i wouldn't pay it what should i do i mean now it's up to 100 bucks i'm still getting these text messages you have to pay it because this could i mean if it doesn't turf your credit score it could nuke theirs and they're my kiwi brothers yeah yeah it might be the right move i think we got to get this clip viral and see if this we can get this clip all the way to new zealand yeah listen if you are any member should have taken that 20 bill new zealand fast pitch smile would have paid for at this point 20 of the yeah uh if you remember that team you see this uh maybe we could split it that's fair i don't really know what else to do i mean i will pay it but just know that you know you're asking a lot now it's like give a give a mouse a cookie well how do they even have your information to be charging you just because they have your phone number they're gonna put a lean on your fucking house over this like what's how do you how are you culpable for this because you called i trying to think about that i was like is do they they have none of my financial information all they have is my cell phone number but i am the one getting the late fees i'll show you maybe you should just call them back and be like hey i'm not connected to this i tried and then it went into a whole automated thing and i was like i'm not gonna deal yeah yeah fuck that um did you give the indian guy your social security number while you were on the phone no accidentally no how funny is it by the way that he picked up and he just went hello like i kind of wish that's how all you know far distant land yeah customer service was yeah just hey yeah um take let me see this well you're fine in that i was in chicago and i ran into mook and i was like mook we were just talking about you on the last episode really i was out there for the nfl show i was like mook we were just talking about you and your time with francis out in houston and he was like did francis tell you how he bailed on me for dinner how he had a secret dinner without that's outrageous that is outrageous what a joke that he would say that and if he said that then now i have no problem like telling the entire story yeah because i withheld information that did we talk about him the girl he met yeah yeah oh we did yeah oh okay we didn't we didn't really withhold much oh okay then fine then fair enough i forgot that i had told that story um that's outrageous that he said i i had a i had a dinner plan with brad dalkey his wife you're with dalkey and his wife he didn't say that he just said his friends no it was brad brad's wife brad's brother and brad's brother's wife and the five of us definitely didn't know that had planned to go on this dinner for like weeks even before i had invited mook yeah to come yeah i think he thought it was just you and brad no there were you know about this too oh yeah because all four of them were in the green room with us that's crazy that he would you might want to yeah you might want to get out you might want to talk to mook tell him he's not coming on the road again no it's over and and and by the way i treated him to vip tickets to uh project hail mary unlimited popcorn vip that everyone has I kept telling him to come meet me for breakfast, which I would have treated him to. That's not how he operates. He's like, I don't eat breakfast. Yeah, he's not a breakfast guy. His first meal of the day is 3 p.m. Yeah, and a gallon of iced coffee. Yeah, and then it was like, you know, we had drinks every night at the Four Seasons afterwards. I was getting him dirty martinis. I was getting them all lubed up so that the four looked like a five at least. You got him back on the bottle bad. Good. He's drinking like I've never seen. That's what I like to hear. No video games Saturday night. Just hammered. Excellent. Me and Jerry were both on texting him. Where you at? You guys are pissed. He's drunk. Yeah. Oh, I didn't put it together that you two are both sober and he's like the third part. So it's like to even hang with both you guys. He kind of has to be sober. Yeah, I mean, well, you guys were disappointed in him for being drunk. He said he goes like two weeks off and then he'll get back on the sauce. Yeah, but I took him for a drink the first night and all we had was like a nightcap. And then the next night he went by himself back to the Four Seasons while I was there. Got a little taste. Yeah. And I think he had a number of. Oh, yeah. Once you get one of them. I'm like, dude, that bill must have been quite exorbitant. Yeah, definitely. Because he's. Yeah, but he was like, well, you got the Amex Amex Platinum. Yeah. Yeah. He doesn't. Yeah, but it's on your room. And no resort. Oh, he might have put all the drinks in my room. There was a huge. Charge for me after. And I didn't even look into it. And he was with a date. That would be so funny. He definitely knew my room number. I said it a number of times. I can see him just sitting there being like, yeah, room charge. 17, 16. Fucking Francis doesn't want to invite me to dinner. Leaves with the girl. And then she's like, where are we going? Aren't we going upstairs? And he's like, I got another. I keep multiple hotels. 20 minutes down the street. I have a flop house hotel. That's also forced. No, I just like the bar here. Oh, man. I can't believe he told you that same story. Mook says that he talks to you like every day. Yeah, probably. That you guys are always up to speed on each other. Yeah. I mean, I already talked to him and Jerry today. I mean, him and Jerry. The thing is, they're just in Chicago together. And then they get themselves into trouble. And then they call me just waking up this morning. And they're like, bomb, sass, bomb. Got to get you. Got to talk to you. Asap. What was it? It wasn't even really that big. I mean, it could potentially be a big deal. But I think like. That's a nightmare text to wake up to. Who said it? Jerry? Yeah. Just like the bomb emoji. But I think. Well, I think, A, I think Jerry and Mook rile each other up. And then B, I think Austin riles them up. And I think they have like a. I think there's like a disconnect. On like, Austin will say something. I think sometimes a lot of the time it's just to piss them off or scare them. And then they run with it. Like, this is a fact. And it's, this is, this is going to happen. So it's a lot. I think we jumped to conclusions a little too quick. But they're definitely, they're, they're just getting each other fired up. Anxiety. Building on anxiety. Yeah. Like they're like, like Mook and Jerry. They're just coming up with scenarios together. Just everything. Where you have to be the one that's calming them down. I'll either calm them down. Or I'll make it worse too. For fun? No, no. Sometimes it's like, they'll tell me things and I'm like, all right, well, if that's true, we're fucked. And it never winds up being true. Yeah. Or like, I mean, this one will be, we'll, we'll see. We'll see by the end of the week. What is this? Tell us, tell us. No, we're just having. This comes out on Thursday. Yeah. I guess we're, we're just having some issues with the budget for Atlanta. Oh no. What's your Venmo? It's not. How short are you? That's not, it has nothing to really do with that. It's more coming up from, from up top. Did you see that they put out gold fingers Venmo and people were like, let me, just to be sure, like, has he died or it was cause he had credit card debt. Oh yeah. He was going to shove that thing up his ass. He was going to put something in his ass. Yeah. That's when they sent him home. Oh, because of that? They're like, you have credit card debt. You got to go. He had credit card debt. So he was going to like shove a butt plug, a butt plug up his ass in order to have Brianna pay off his credit card. Credit card debt. But they shot that down quick. I think everyone was like, this might not be the best look. It's like the first episode of the last season of Black Mirror where the guy's like. Oh yeah. Yeah. Episodes. Hilarious. It is dark. Yeah. It is dark. But yeah, put out, drop the Venmo for, for the Bush. There isn't one. Drop mooks then. I don't know what it is. Don't drop mooks. You're just enabling him at this point. Yeah. We're not, we're done enabling mook. He's got to figure it the fuck out. Mook will be like, I can't eat today. I spent too much money on dirty martinis last night at the Four Seasons. Yeah. He was the guy on the flight out to Houston being like, I don't have any bags. Yeah. I got to make money doing standup tonight or else I can't eat or else I can't have dirties. He's walking out of that movie theater. He filled up two more bags of popcorn.

It's important to remember that even though my entrees I'm very Spartan about, I eat desserts in a way that's like horrible. Horrible. Horrible. There's a pie sitting in my car right now that I was on the drive in today. I was eating it with my hands. Good dog. I was breaking off chunks. You're not a guy who leaves the crust in the pie, are you? No. My God. The crust on this particular pie was the highlight. It's not the one from upstate that you brought me the rhubarb, is it? No. Did you eat that though? Yes. It's the same pie. Six months later. That was a really special pie that I brought you. And I was like, I really, it's important. Oh, buddy. Buddy. Buddy. Don't worry. That found a home. All right. It's like a puppy adoption. I had a special one for that one. That was a gift. That was to honor the- That was one of the best pies I've ever had in my life. Yeah. That was from this place out on the North Fork of Long Island that I can't remember the name of, but they're famous for their pies. Sass, you will never have that pie. That I fucking promise you. Probably not, unfortunately. Yeah, you won't because you'd be like, you know, I don't even like those types of pies. You know who makes a great pie? Amtrak. Those little plastic wrapped single pies. There's nothing. There's nothing better. Entenmann's pies. I do love a good Amtrak pie. You boys saw that they tried to, they tried to get my boy Trump again? Does anyone believe that? Bro, I was like, I was even talking to my parents about it and they were like, that was not real. Like, no part of that was real. Like, dude, you couldn't get into the, you couldn't get into that. What was the, what was the event? White House Correspondents Day? The White House Correspondents Day. The White House Correspondents Dinner? Yeah. You couldn't get into that without guns. Like, if you had no gun and you tried to get within like 10 miles of that, they'd be like, no, no way. Let alone with multiple guns. Like, they close off the whole street for those events. Yeah, and also the fact that they didn't shoot the person. Did they not shoot him? I thought they, I thought they did. Oh, I thought the person was alive. Oh, I thought that was the only person that they got, that they only, I thought like he didn't, I thought, I might be completely wrong about this. I could be wrong. But I thought what happened was that. Let's get to the bottom of this just so we're right. I thought that he got in, like he, have you seen the video of him just running through the security guys? He just like sprints through security and then they get him. But I don't know if they shot him or just tackled him. Yeah, it looked like Francis trying to get to the dude from. And then like, there's like inner, like I remember like where it was going, like while it was, cause it was in between the early and the late show for my taping. And I remember watching it and they were like, they were doing like an interview with someone and they were like, they were like, it was just, we just heard a really loud noise. Like someone dropped a plate. And he was like, but I think there's a pretty big difference between someone dropping a plate and someone shooting a gun in terms of sound level. You'd be surprised. That's what it sounds like, bro. Yeah. That picture of him on the ground is what I, uh, I saw. But also who took that? Exactly. Who took that exact picture? Someone got down on the ground to give him a three count. Yeah. Like the WWE camera. You know, it's the guy ringside. to ride with the camera. it's the exact same thing that happens every time there's one of these shootings there's this random guy no information on him at all not if he can't even figure out if he's dead or alive right now he's alive yeah okay so he's alive but did they shoot him no they shot his picture they shot his headshot uh-huh that's a lot of good photos the funniest part is that owes the mentalist was on stage during it oh yeah right really yeah it was owes the mentalist was in the middle of doing a trick he was doing the big he was in the he was in the middle of doing the big reveal yeah to trump he was about to say who was going to win the super bowl next year yeah yeah fuck i needed that wait what the fuck was he gonna say finish it like i don't know i just don't say i just don't see how this person would even have gotten to the hotel where they were having the he probably did a spin move harry i gotta say i love what's happening with you i mean i don't think i'm wrong there what your third his third eye's opening up yeah i'm i'm enjoying this sort of blossoming of doubt bro you can't even get into like you can't even like get past tsa if you don't have a boarding pass and you're telling me that you could run through the security at the correspondence center with multiple guns yeah yeah no uh i'm with you i'm starting to come around so what do we think it is who do we think is behind it i mean bro trump like literally announced the day before that he was going to the correspondence center for the first time since like 2015 and then that day something ain't adding up and erica kirk you see the video of erica kirk running yeah crying they were flaming her it's all it's all sigh out yeah i mean they should they should be handing out oscars for that performance like they were like let's get everybody like kash patel's sitting in the corner he doesn't even know what's going on he's shit face yeah he's just sitting on his phone trying to call people trying to be like what what the fuck are we doing uh-huh i saw the the close-up videos of everybody like stealing uh champagne afterwards everybody was just grabbing the champagnes off the table because they cleared out what would have happened to that champagne can't put it back on ice right it skunked yeah right francis if the bottles were opened no they weren't opened but i think it was i think you can uh can you chill it go warm it and then reach out yeah i mean you don't want to do it more than a few times or once or twice i don't know but like i buy beers at main beer company in maine and they're refrigerated and then i drive with them back to new york at which point they're room temperature and then i put them back in the fridge and drink them and they're totally fine yeah i didn't know you're drinking beers out here yeah you're slamming beers like that i drink beers out here really yeah sometimes in here out here it doesn't matter where never

i saw max starting to salivate over there max loving it how many of how many of those are you putting down in a session oh probably just one or two and they're just like a dynamic warm-up for me to start drinking liquor yeah yeah yeah i thought it was uh liquor before beer you're in the clear beer before liquor never been sicker yeah i used to be a bitch but when you drink as much as francis does it doesn't really matter no yeah i'm uh you can put the cart before the horse you can put the cart on the horse yeah you know sometimes i'll mix the beer with the liquor with the horse yeah he's
