The transcription blends humor, personal stories, and cultural commentary across several topics. It begins with a satirical take on the "Lemonati" — a shadowy influence promoting lemon over lime — and counters with 7UP's new lime-lemon soda, signaling a cultural shift. The narrative expands to PrizePix, which is launching nationwide with incentives for fans, emphasizing digital engagement in sports. A central segment features host Andrew Santos discussing his personal life, including a growing tour schedule, relationships, and his evolving views on traditions like Thanksgiving, where he rejects turkey in favor of prime rib and next-day meals. The conversation also delves into personal experiences with alcohol, including childhood drinking, peer pressure, and the emotional toll of overindulgence. A reflection on the historical role of alcohol in social life, such as in church or school trips, adds depth. The segment also touches on the broader cultural shift in education and career paths, especially in Canada, where apprenticeships are now more valued than traditional college. Finally, the discussion touches on personal growth, media projects like BFFs, and the desire for authenticity over commercial success, culminating in a tone of personal authenticity, humor, and shared experience.

But you-- - That's my little bro right there. - I know, but you skier, you know what I mean? - It's between him and Todd Berry. - Todd Berry we just had on, yeah, he's a handsome male model. Do you know who that guy is? - I don't think I-- - Show him a picture of this guy. I mean, this guy is, you wanna talk about-- - Just a good looking fella. - Good cheekbones, he's got, he's slender. - Can make you swing both ways kinda guy. - Unbelievable. - Wow. - You could shift for this guy. Give him a photo of this guy so you can see. I mean, wow, that's a, I mean, you and him are pretty-- - That's somebody that makes you jealous of the gays, for sure, right? - That's exactly right, dude. - You just wanna be, you wanna be on that side. - And he's not even, he's straight. - Wow. - I know, he could do whatever he wants. - He could, he could. - Dude, good to see you, thank you for coming on the show. We, last time I saw you, we were at the, we were in Southern Missouri at the Internet Invitational. - Yes. - Prior to that, we linked for the first time. - It was a dinner. - In New York. - Yes. - Yeah, where were we again? We were at-- - It was some-- - It was like a side room. - Like a Carbone side room. - Oh, it was Carbone's like side little room that someone had set up, and it was so funny, when we went there, I was like, "Who's going to this like dinner party?" 'Cause we were like there for a golf outing, and he was like, "Oh, a bunch of people "are gonna be coming," and then we walked in the room, and it was like a tiny little room. - Very, like-- - I was like, "How many people are gonna be in here?" - And at the time, 'cause I think we were some of the first people to get there. - Yeah. - There were three of us. - Yeah. - There were three or four of us in this like-- - That was fine, three would've been fine for me. - Oh, it would've been a good intimate event. It got a little bit larger. - A little claustrophobic. - Yeah. - I get claustrophobic. - Mm. - Do you get claustrophobic? - I, I-- - You're too young to feel it yet. - I feel like, yeah, I don't know if I'm there yet. - Yeah. - I'm starting to get the social anxiety, or my social battery, I've realized recently is, needs more charge than before. - Yeah, so are you, do you do this thing now where you're gapping your schedule so you're not layering it so much, so you have time to just like chill, or are you just packing it all in? - I've been packing it all in as of recently, but I think that's one of the 2026 goals, and I think my girl definitely, she pushes that on me too. She is, she is the complete opposite of me. I am the guy that like, we'll go all out to dinner with friends, and I'm the worst guy at the table that's gonna start talking about work. - Yeah. - You know what I mean? Like, I'm like a work guy 24/7, and my, my girl's the complete opposite. Gabby, thank God, she's like, all that matters is friends and memories, and having good times. - Smart. - Where I'm, I'm much more of the like, we gotta have everything set, we gotta make sure we're good for retirement, we gotta make sure our kids are safe. Like, you know, I'm-- - You're a good dude. - I'm thinking that way, and she's thinking more of the, I'm on her side. - Yeah. - I mean, I think, is she your same age? Younger, older? - She's a little younger than me. She's 21. - 21, you're 20? - Three. - Yes. - Isn't that cool? He's 26, and he's an old man. This is what happens, he started working for me three years ago? How many years ago? - That's what he was saying. - And he's weathered terribly. - It's kind of like a presidency campaign, eh? - It is, dude, he's gonna go gray. - Hey, he's grown a bit in the last three years. - He'll lose all his hair and/or go gray by the end of this term. - Right, you'll have to start getting like a spray tan by the end of this. - No, he can't, dude. He's from Minnesota, he can't, he's not allowed. He's too pale. Irish kids aren't allowed. They're not allowed to have spray tans. Can't do that. You're Canadian. - I am. - I always forget that you're Canadian until I hear you say out. - Out, or like tomorrow. - Tomorrow. - Tomorrow. - Yeah, tomorrow. - Yeah, that one will come out every once in a while. - But Toronto, Canada, where? - Yeah, so I'm east coast, so I'm an hour and a half east of Toronto, small town called Cobourg. - Cobourg. - Cobourg, yeah. - Parlez-vous francais? - Un petit peu. But that's nice. See, you're even hotter when you do that, dude. That's so funny. God, don't turn me on, dude. It's midday. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's the middle of the week, dude. Don't do that to me. - Well, we'll take it slow. We'll take it slow. - Come on, man. - I don't wanna get you half chubbed at 12 of the day. - I already am. When you walked in, dude, your publicist was like, hello. - We're full mast almost now? - Huh? - That means we're getting a full mast. - I'm full. I'm full. The flag is up, my friend. I've gotten tighter, I've noticed. - Significantly. - Yeah. - Yeah. Well, that's 'cause I'm getting fatter. That's really what this is. - You think? I think you look good, dude. - I'm in my winter stage. Well. - Bulking season. - I'm bulking right now. - That's the right way to put it. - I'm prepping for the holidays, dude. And I can't. Are you a Thanksgiving food guy or no? - I love Thanksgiving food. But here's the thing. We've already had Thanksgiving in Canada. - Oh, yeah. That's right. You guys already did it. - Ours passed. Ours passed. - So you don't do it here? - I'll celebrate here. We do the exact same dinner on Christmas as well. I feel like I don't understand the craze for Thanksgiving as much as I get the craze for Christmas. - Ah, yes. - It's, I get the same meal. Turkey, ham. You get it all. - The standard. Yeah, but I have a controversial, I have a hot take. I mean, he knows this about me. I'm not a Thanksgiving food guy. Love to get together with family and friends. Turkey and I aren't friends. - You're just not a turkey guy. - I don't understand it. It's a dry bird and people are like, "Well, what if it?" I've had the deep fried. I've had the juicy. Even when it's still not. I want red meat. - Right. You can do prime rib though. - We do. My whole family, that's what we do. My family's decided collectively that we don't like it. Why is my mom wasting her time cooking it? Why is my sister trying to help? - It's such a long, torturous process. - It's arduous, dude. It's no need. - It's brutal. - So I'm anti-turkey. And I think, find out, I think that the whole turkey thing was implemented by the government years ago to try to sell more turkeys 'cause turkey stock was down. - It's like a Valentine's Day card situation. - Exactly. - Just made up thing. - Or Santa, Tooth Fairy. - Right, right, right. - It's all made up. Nothing's real. - Let's just get some sales, yeah. - That's how I feel about it 'cause every time I have it, I'm always like, "This is not as good as I thought it was." The next day turkey? Now, next day turkey sandwich? That's good. - It's probably one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is the next day's meal. - See, that's my thing. So how about this? Just give me tomorrow's turkey. I don't need to eat it today. - Just make it a day ahead, maybe. - That's exactly right. - Maybe we should start prepping it. Day ahead, give me the toast with just, I want turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potato, gravy, all in one sandwich. - Yeah. How about a turkey burrito? You ever do that? - No. - Yeah, this is a new thing I'm trying to start. Southern California, dude, burritos got me going. Now I think, why don't we wrap up turkey, taters? Here's my thing. Cold turkey, tater tots, hot, cranberry sauce. - Cold or hot? - Cranberry sauce? - Yeah, 'cause I've had people do both ways. - I've only actually had it warm, but maybe I should do a cold, like a salsa. - Right, for the sandwich, I'm taking burrito sauce. - So people at home, try this out this year. Comment below about the turkey, your turkey, next day turkey Thanksgiving wrap. What is the deal with the turkey? - A lot of it was practicality, because it was really cheap for the time that Thanksgiving became popular, especially to feed a lot of people. - But are they still cheap? I feel like I don't think they are. - Prices must have been raised. - They're also just abundant. - There's so many. - There's a lot of turkeys. - And why is that? - It's a practical thing. - Because nobody wants to eat them, see? This is the whole point I'm making. They've shoehorned us into thinking, you know, this is like lobster. You know the history of lobsters? - Lobster was like, it was like peasant food. - They used to serve it to prisoners in New England. - And caviar, too. - Caviar, too, that was crap food. And now they've suckered us into thinking that it's good. - Like, oh, this is some beautiful food you need to be eating. - Delicacy. - It's coming out of the fish's vagina. - Yeah, no thanks, dude. I don't want that. A vagina's vagina? I'm not into it. - Right, right. - You can't have double vagina, dude. - No, no, no, that's not. - Well, that's my hot take. Prime rib on Thanksgiving. I'll do the ham, but I'm just not, I'm checked out now of the turkey thing. I think they lied to us for years. We found out it was a lie, and now, I'm not into it. - And you know what, I like the prime rib move because my favorite side dish maybe of all time is a Yorkshire pudding. - Ooh, that's pretty good. - You get a good Yorkshire pudding, prime rib goes great. - That does go great. What's your temperature of prime rib? What are we talking, rare? - I'm leaning rare. - Yeah, bloody, you like a little bloody. - I want it to be a little bloody. - A guy that we work with, he likes it black and blue. Do you know what black and blue is? That's how he eats his steaks. - I mean, it's still mooing, it's still mooing. - Yeah, it's pretty, it's a little. They're doing a sear around it, and that's about it. - It's a hot sear, they want it as hot as you can, and then inside is dark, dark red. Yeah, it's cold, yeah, black and blue. Can't do that. - No, no, no, that's too far from me. - But I respect it. - I wish I could be animalistic like that. I feel like I would walk around, probably puff my chest out a little higher. - You'd be a little bit bigger. i would that's my problem i don't gain weight yeah you will dude everyone's been saying that to you will do that for a long time it'll it'll hit you'll wake up one day with a little mini spare tire like a little you know the small wheel on a car right yeah it'll be like just the small wheel that gets there and you'll go what is that i guess i would love that it's i would love a little i would love a little size because i i go to the gym and nothing happens what are we talking let me guess you're six how tall are you with the same height six one we're pretty close yeah six one and i think you're closest uh closest wins dinner tonight mccon what's your guess they're both gonna

150 148 i'm in that split split the diff split the diff okay dude you got it i'll buy you you got it he got it he got it yeah you're almost a spinner weight you're spinner in the community yeah yeah it's bad it's bad um i uh when i travel and do a lot of work i don't eat you don't eat at all i don't eat when i work i don't know i don't know what it is i get caught up in it i think part of it i don't i don't know if this is just a bad excuse but i think part of it is like i'm really adhd and i'll get fixated and so i'll go seven hours eight hours and then all of a sudden it's nighttime and i'm like i didn't eat all day i don't know how you did i have to eat i um that's i can't i don't well i mean i i need it if i don't start the day with a couple cups of coffee and then a little something grump bump man i'm gonna be a bad around it's just not gonna be nice he knows he's felt it many many times i get hangry and then i lash out you know i don't physically hit him but i but i get close well emotionally i've damaged him tremendously i can see it he wears on the face he really does that's why he looks old too that mustache just popped out one day it just kind of formed in the midst of you going at him yeah it just kind of started just starting yeah flowing uh tell me this because we talked a little bit before the show the bffs podcast yes uh you and uh deep fried chicken fry yes uh done over over over bad blood ending no no bad blood um man i feel like are we gonna get into a drink do you want to have a cocktail i think we might if we're gonna get into a serious topic like this wow dude yeah i didn't know you wanted to we can do it i mean i assume because it's earlier in the day the kid was not gonna do it but you're gonna go get some cups for us this is great east coast time it's drinking time god bless dude i had no idea is there there should be two on there are they're not there right there check in the other room they should be there i mean the name of the show we gotta it 100 is but you know a lot of this is part of the reason i had a conversation with this with um one of the uh people that's working with the show they were like how often are people drinking now and i said this is the thing most of my friends are sober now you're in that age yeah because either kids or family or i'm 42 man like we've spent many many moons doing it yep so a lot of guys in my especially in the comedy business dude a lot of guys they hate party too hard now they're sober or uh we film early in the morning and people are like hey man i have to go pick up my kids like i can't get hammered guys are doing shows at night and then podcasts in the day you can do that that's fine they'll they'll day drinks oh 100 okay but if you're picking up the kids at school that's a little sketchy right you know what i mean you can't pick up the kids hammered i mean i'm sure people do that definitely but that's more of a canadian thing no that is a canadian thing you first start drinking start is different than like when i think i had my first you know drink of alcohol was your first sip i was probably 13 or 12 mom and dad i it was a family event it was a christmas it was a christmas my cousins were feeding me rum and cokes oh yeah that's how it was introduced what's your drink now what's your drink of choice now i i like whiskey like i like a whiskey sour oh you like whiskey sour yeah do you ever drink it straight and eat oh yeah oh you do you'll have that i'll have i'll have whiskey on the rocks um but i think that i'm kind of in a i'm in a cocktail phase right now oh you like that i like i do like you like the cocktail menu when you go out you go what do you got what's the concoction you've made exactly the first thing i'm looking at a good spicy marg a spicy marg is good go what is this every time oh we got the cups are not here let you these are great this is funny this is amazing these are very funny oh he covered the episode oh that's true no that's great you know this is very funny this is don't this is honestly this is the first time we haven't had glasses in here in a long time just because i was like no one's drinking at 10 in the morning i mean let me pour it for you because that's only fair and we'll just do a little bit and by the way we're going to drink it neat we'll drink it we'll drink it as is just no no no ice no nothing just but you slow sip it okay and i think you deserve this uh old rip van winkle it's 10 year have you ever had this i've had a rip van winkle i don't know if it's that one it's well this is a good one okay i got this as a gift uh as many of these bottles are because they're it's 107 proof too so it's going to be nice and put some hair on the chest yeah it'll burn you you might gain some there we go all right so before i pour this then we'll talk about the bffs thing but growing up in canada then what was the first do you remember the first time you got hammered yeah yeah give me that first time i got hammered uh shout out my boy harry sutherland uh me and him we were playing on the little snifter there you go harry sutherland harry sutherland this is the first time we've ever drank out of plastic cups on this show like this this is great i'm not gonna lie an expensive uh whiskey into a plastic cup plastic cup yeah there's some bourbon guy that's like at home being like what yeah yeah what yeah yeah yeah this who cares dude sip it slow cheers cheers cheers uh and talk to me about harry sutherland oh that's great is that good yeah yeah that even out of a plastic cup this is sacrilegious i imagine people at home are gonna be mad no there there's gonna be some and you know what furious not my problem hey you're not the one getting invited on the show drinking rip okay that's on you pretty cool when you have your own show you can do what you want i can do whatever i want and shout out to harry sutherland if you send me a photo we'll put a photo of him right here we'll put it we'll put a photo up um but anyways he he brought me out to his uh i think it was his uncle or aunt's cottage that they had and we went and slept in the trailer so you know no parent supervision we kind of had our own trailer and they had kept all the liquor up in the top cabinets bad move so of course uh the two of us we think you know this is this is gonna be the moment this is gonna be the night where we're gonna go get loaded uh so we both start drinking the mix of drinks i mean we probably had like bacardi rum with you know everclean and you know i don't know i don't know i don't know it was just like it was brutal you know like taking sips of everything trying to make sure the levels are all still looking good enough putting a little water in each one and then uh next morning we wake up and right away i mean both of us you know stressed out the parents are gonna somehow find out aunt walks into the the trailer when she walks out after she passes the two of us and goes so you guys got into the top cabinets last night right kind of just lets us know in the moment and keeps on walking doesn't tell the parents we're there like shitting ourselves all morning long but uh yeah that was a good one that was the first how old were you i think i was 13 13 13 yeah that's the first time you got tanked that was the first but we would get given drinks to go to parties as kids so like our parents even the strictest parents they would that that the kind of thought process was like we're gonna give the trust to these kids and then if they break them we take away the trust so everyone's parents would you know give their kids two or three beers to go to a party when they're in grade nine a great like canada in high school you'd get two to three beers the rule in my house was always like we'll give you your two beers you'd go to a party you're not allowed to stay anywhere else though after a party you have to come home right so my parents would stay up i'd get home they'd be at the kitchen table with a tea and a piece of toast and i'd have to come home and i'd have to tell the entire night to them and they'd know how i am off two beers or did i go and drink some other people's shit and then am i able to keep going to parties do i have their trust or not so that's how they would run it and i think like that's how most families i knew would do it in canada and it seems like i don't know i didn't see when i came out to la when i was 18 i didn't know how to do it and i didn't know how to do it there were a lot more people that i saw that didn't know how to handle their alcohol out there out here than back home well yeah kids were young it's a cultural thing too right midwest i'm chicago he's minnesota we kind of grew up with it too it was a very normal thing to have a drink with your family because then they kind of regulated how out of control you got were we sneaking extras big time for sure grab your own your uncle that gets hammered he falls asleep at the family function you snag his cock yeah you got it dude you got it i remember the first time there was a place called lake delavan that's uh in wisconsin shout out to lake delavan it's lake geneva is the popular one lake geneva is kind of like where people with money go right lake delavan is um you know it's it's uh slow it's it's its slower nephew it's not you know what i mean not all they took fourth grade twice type of thing yeah it's a little it's a little shaky it's a bad limp dude yeah and they also never shaved the um uh the seaweed so all of the whatever kelp and everything that would grow you'd feel it on your feet when you went swimming which was gross yeah it sucked but it was rad but then i we went one night we're all staying in a little tiny cabin and uh my dad always traveled with a little um it was a flask but it was the the big ones you know the plastic old big plastic flask it's got a metal top yeah and he kept it in this cabinet and one of my uncles was like go get your dad's we were playing basketball late at night because they kept the lights on and he was like go get your dad's whiskey and i was like dude he's gonna beat the shit out of me if i go do that like i can't do that and my uncle was like really you're gonna ruin the fun and he put me in this position where it was like i gotta do it you want it you want to look cool to your uncle you gotta look cool to your uncle because the uncle's a cool the cool brother yeah well they got wasted they got naked and went night swimming and uh as a young little lad seeing grown adult uncles naked you were like god i hope mine grows right right that's intimidating yeah it sucks dude and they're like you're gonna get in you could hold on to that thing and start swinging into the water like uh it was a rope swing yeah i sat in it like a tire swing no i was i would they were like you're gonna get in the water and i was like i'd get in fully clothed but I think my mom will get. She'll be mad that my one pair of jeans. I brought yeah a ruined that was my first like that was one of the first times I like got intro and then the next day my dad you know saw that it was all gone did not snitch I didn't snitch which is huge but he figured it out he was like who was doing it I was like no idea no clue and he's like I'm gonna find out that you did it I said I didn't by the way no phones no cameras yeah how are you gonna trace me pal great time how you gonna trace me there's no forensic evidence buddy you can't you can't figure out anything no you could just go out and commit crimes back in the day a lot of people did of it yeah we I mean I think my uncles probably took off that night driving and went and did something bad for sure but who knows and it's not my business by the way not interested not

me and uh one of my best friends uh he he actually lived with me in LA for a while he was he was really from the church family like his family like weekly I mean like when we would go and play in hockey tournaments he played on a better team than I did so I wouldn't be with him but he he would go to hockey tournaments and then go to church in the morning before the games like I mean like we're going to travel tournaments whatever he's making sure he's going to church he'd have stories of like yeah there were no churches around I had to go to like an all Asian church didn't understand a word but my parents wanted to make sure I went to church but you still had to go to church yeah I had to go to church he would be there every single Sunday now did this kid end up doing anything good in hockey he was pretty good he was not college or anything no no no but uh he was a he was a pretty elite player uh played triple a his whole life so did you have any friends growing up that guy because Canada with the hockey thing man it's crazy yeah you have any friends that get went pro I have a couple buddies that like went and played like pretty high level I have some buddies now that are obviously in pros but uh not not any of the guys that I grew up with that I was like close with your school wasn't a breeding ground for hockey players they were good I mean we won like uh we we would win our kind of like states equivalent or whatnot uh quite often for hockey or like for our for our rep team they'd go and win it all omhas but uh it was it was just I think that a lot of the kids we were really good when we were younger I think a lot of the kids didn't grow big enough yeah you gotta be thick yeah yeah yeah a lot of kids went to other sports too like we have a couple kids like rugby was a big thing in my high school oh yeah so a lot of kids started going into other sports I feel like you gotta be you gotta have a thick shitter that's the one rule I got a buddy uh who played in the league uh I'm gonna mispronounce his last name Dion Phaneuf you know Dion Phaneuf I know Dion yeah he's uh his niece no his yeah his niece is married to my cousin oh really yeah yeah yeah he's at the wedding he's the man but he's got a dumper dude this guy it's unbelievable his legs and his butt are massive that's what you need skate power though oh man it's wild and that's how you get your core so stable that's how you're gonna put on a good hit on someone but this morning when I was when I was getting ready uh oh now I'm gonna mistake the name he caught a puck to the mouth and the tooth flew the whole tooth flew out yeah who was that I just was just in my feet it must have happened like two or two or three days I mean I don't know who who it was recently it was slow-mo though that happens all the time like the big like Sidney Crosby he got one broke his jaw I think he 12 teeth got knocked out or something like that that's all I only have 12. that's all my teeth but I saw the clip and like I've seen people get pucked before but God dude when you watch it in slow-mo and you see the tooth fly out of his mouth you're like yeah the pain is on who is it is it Charlie McAvoy Charlie McAvoy yeah there you go yeah yeah two fly in a free tooth also it's kind of like a point of pride it's almost like I'm it's like getting a medal for the military like spitting chiclets yeah spitting chiclets the boys they're in town by the way they're in LA right now those guys are here right now no way I'm supposed to meet up with them tomorrow okay but weather dependent we're supposed to go out and maybe hack it around and play golf I don't know if it's gonna happen I know we got like uh what's it called an atmosphere River or something going on is that what it's called that's what I heard no clue that sounds awesome I'm gonna start saying that if we do play tomorrow oh you want to go I'll go out with the boys yeah I think that'll be fun they're all in town I don't know what they're doing in LA yeah we'll talk after the show but maybe if it the weather permitting if we were able to play because those guys are the best the last time I played with them do you play with any of them at the internet I played with biz in in uh Keith actually yeah at the at the internet um but the last time I played I played on their channel and Dave was my partner in the sandbagger I mean I probably played golf all of like 10 or 12 times in my life so I'd like to get a good little like rematch against what does Portnoy play golf I thought he doesn't play golf no he's not no he doesn't play golf no he attempts it right yeah well that's right he put it together for those of you that don't know we did the internet Invitational which I got a lot of a lot of good comments and love from people people didn't understand though and this got put in Francis Ellis texted me the other night because now the episode's out we can talk about it everything's out it's already over I know you know who wins everything's good if it's a spoiler alert you should already been watching yeah it's on you um but Francis Ellis texted me and I because I had commented on his video after he did the celebration saying we won I said I'm still a little bitter because we beat them in round one but then because we won both of our matches but because my team lost yeah we got eliminated yeah which sucks dude no first I mean that's not fair if I lost we lost but we won and still lost yeah you you almost wonder like should it have been more of like uh you get put into twos and it becomes a beat-out tournament that's what I want like yeah and then a beat-out tournament I do understand why they do that for like the ranking system so somebody like myself can still be what do they put you as a D player they had me they had me ranked I think the third worst player in that tournament the lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything even our music that hit song named the color of lemons not a coincidence Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years think about it but now seven up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda now lime comes first seven up flip the sip Hank joined BJ's Wholesale Club the day he became a father of 30.

yeah yeah that's true or no not even close who was the worst in the tournament who was the worst in the tournament who do you think was who would think was the lowest this is good gosh um the duke was surprising yeah the thing about the duke is he can putt he can putt so as like a partner he's not actually a bad player because like he can putt and he'll hit a ball straight every time he's not gonna hit it far but if you shank a shot you know okay i got one in the fairway at least right so i don't know if i'd put him as the worst i'd might put i may put my buddy sketch down there though sketch sketch had a tough go i might put my buddy sketch down there um but he doesn't really like golf anyway yeah he he he kind of knows but i think it's kind of like uh he's he's more there for the for the talk he yeah he wants the he well he wants the party and the vibe yeah it was fun which is great which is great i think i'm better than trent okay i think i'm better than pft have you gone head to head with i think i'm better than bob i think i'm better than bob does sports for sure i beat him head to head before let me tell you something this is i love this you're drumming up some shit my guy um who else was playing that i think i think man who was a who was a lower quality player at the tournament i'm trying to think all the names that were on the on the bottom half there were a lot of good golfers that's the problem there was a lot of people like i am definitely in the bottom half of the bottom half of the bottom half of the bottom half of the bottom quarter but you're but you're but you're not last you're gone and i was i was mr nobody i was last pick of the draft yeah that was a tough feeling most most most uh followers on instagram last pick in the draft yeah and that's that's almost like the most fair version of that how it would go i kind of was happy i got picked last when i when i realized it because then i had no pressure right if i went out and played the worst golf of my life for three days everyone's like he was last pick right right of course of course he would you did the opposite and i played all right you showed him see i i played so the last day because we were off we don't have any footage of this but uh me and the boys uh went out and played uh just a quick little round and we got hammered yeah like got hammered and then on the last hole in the 19th hole where you're hitting on that island green we were just sitting there having fun and i think her name was diane or darla the girl who was chirping up with her having a good time that's she kept bringing us shots and so we just kept playing the hole because no one's coming up behind us and then she's like hey there's a bachelor party coming up just letting you guys know it's like a group of guys and i was like they're gonna they're gonna love y'all well i was like should we get out should we just let's go back up to the lodge and it was like no way dude we're gonna we're gonna fucking bat a money dude so they come cruising up and he's like all right dude closest to the pin hundred dollars a guy and then all these guys were like oh i don't know man and he like bullied him into it he was like come on dude you're not gonna play like what are you gonna chicken out and then so everybody was finally like everyone finally was like all right well then we're in like we're all in so the whole group went and we pushed i think we pushed and then we we beat him on the third and the one dude and then the one dude was like i don't have cash and whit was like well you gotta get cash dude like that's how it goes and he was like no just let us venmo you he's like no way dude like we're walking up to the atm and i was like he's gonna walk this dude he's gonna he's gonna bully him i love i mean whit will not let anybody get away with the thing i love that though but it was like we said trashed in the tournament yeah he had fun like i mean like but also like from the people oh like did you see the people's reactions to it i don't i don't read it they weren't they weren't loving him and i was kind of i don't know if it's just the golf community is so different than the barstool community hundred percent like the fandom right um but like the luke kwan of it all well right him going after luke was very funny to me i thought it was funny in the moment as well and i i don't know maybe it's it depends how you like grow up or or what you're in but like i feel like growing up as somebody that was in like a locker room like playing sports that's like the shit you'd give your boys like you know what i'm saying if one of your boys showed up late to a practice and in and we're just talking practice you're still gonna give it to the guy like you're still gonna be like yo what you think you're fucking the shit you think you're better than all of us you have to show up dude like you're gonna do that regardless i think like i don't know that it seemed like people did he catch me for it i didn't see it seemed like people were well i'll like luke kwan like he's a great guy like people are going way too hard on him and i'm like yeah maybe like you know there's a level to you know how hard we're roasting the guy but it's like a fun moment and then we can move on also it was great for the internet so i don't know what everybody's mad about it created something but luke knew what he got into he apologized i had saw and i like luke i known luke for a little while now and he's a good kid but like i'm i'm with wit on this because wit was angry that our team suffered so yeah and by the way people that really want to know too know that luke is a great guy and he's a great guy and he's a the whole thing was for a million dollars so like wit was like hey dude you're you're screwing up a shot for our team people on our team to win so it's not it's not a youth it's not a youth thing it's about a team so that's why i think wit's right you would do you would do that to anybody on your team and he's a hockey player they give each other shit that's a part of the whole thing 100 and so when he told me he was like i'm cooking luke i was like go for it man it was fun to watch i'm eating a sandwich we were just sitting all at the table together just listening to wit go crazy on kwan as he gets back into the like i don't know the the the after place but yeah it was well he got a post-game speech from gruden which was worth every that's worth anything right great yeah but we i had a fun time down there i do think if i go back next year if it happens again the same way or whatever i think the rules need to shift changes need to be made and i also think to make it really fun i said there shouldn't be someone that picks their team it should be a total lottery just just names out of a hat kind of names out of a hat right and and well what you would do is same thing you could have a player b player c player or whatever yeah and those are three different pots yeah yeah but you pick a name from the pot i like that because drafting is great i understand the draft but it's more um it's more like uh you know how in march madness in basketball any man can win it's like any good any team could blow off story it's great yeah and that could be this instead of the drafts are you know they're very calculated and i felt like if it was more random then there's a better chance of having a another story of someone choking you know yeah that's what i like no i love we'll see there needs to be a way for an underdog to win has to be that's the best that's what we all want yeah yeah but yeah next time uh we'll you know we'll see but uh and i also think portnoy should play i think that'll be i think portnoy gets to do i even said that i go uh i said a big cat i was like you should do um uh required celebrity shots where he has to take one of your shots that may screw you up it may help you out right but that's fun that is cool i think that should be more shaky i game it up yeah game it up the pga we're not we're not we're not trying to compete no none of these guys are pros actually that's not true one guy was a pro yeah brad's a pro that's a literal pro he is a pro and also he should be dq'd you can't be a professional and play in an amateur tournament oh it's well i played with him in the creator classic too good and we won obviously yeah i mean he we were playing alt shot and i did nothing but hurt our team that entire time in that alt shot tournament and he just would he'd pull like oh we're behind three trees i'm gonna have to curve this around 270 i got like 10 yards of a landing point all right right let me just hit that bang did it you just speak everything he's nasty yeah no more pro so much money to be able to play golf like him yeah but you know what you're you have things that he doesn't have i can we're gonna list him right here put up a list joe of all the things that he has that brad donkey doesn't have in here we pour whiskey oh i want to tell you about hymns according to the national institute of health as many as 30 million men in the u.s experience ed it's very common

done it's over it's over and this is not a bad thing it's not at all not at all um i think you know when we me and brie went and like took it down and i really wanted to build out bffs because for me i own half of it i'm different than kind of everyone else at barstool where i'm not an employee of barstool i i have like a joint venture with them so for bffs that's a little bit of like a project that's been like my baby right and i when dave was leaving i was like okay i think there's still value in this ip i think there's still value in the socials like how do we keep this going so i was trying to do it with brie and i think brie has just went through so much honestly in the last year and like finding herself and figuring out like what her next steps are going to be and who she is and whatnot that i think bffs just honestly like it it took a little bit of a back burner uh in the mind of kind of the creative team that was involved with it and it just wasn't getting the attention or like it wasn't getting the the level of dedication that it deserved and i didn't want to be like i think me and brie both had the conversation and it's like we don't want to ever be doing something just for like a check yeah you don't want to be doing something it's not fun it's not if it's losing its value or we feel like now we're you know doing a misservice to the audience as well like let's just let's just end on a better note than trying to drag this into the mud so i think that's kind of the idea and i don't think that you know that means me and brie are done doing content together i love working with brie and i love getting to do stuff with her so i think we'll still do stuff together and i think bffs will those socials and that will turn into something new as well um i just i don't know exactly what it is yet so we'll we've yet to be yet to be told yet yet to figure it out bff2 when it makes a remake like it's a hollywood film yeah just bring it back but recast it we'll see who plays you 12 and it's just the equivalent if they if they recast it who plays you in the sequel and who plays her it's gonna have to be people that are kind of up and coming right yeah it's gotta be younger yeah it's gotta be somebody or someone really old that they're trying to revive they do that in film they do do that who are they trying to revive right now who are they trying to bring back in movies big time you know who's making like a second swing of his of his career kind of his decovany because he kind of was quiet for a long time he you know david decovany bring up a photo handsome guy from the x files he also was californication did you ever see that show no man that was a good old that was a good show he also plays a woman in twin peaks yeah oh that's right decovany's a handsome guy but he kind of like he kind of got quiet his queer career kind of got quiet for a little while now he's kind of i feel like he's like popping back again right who is larry sanders show that's i know but that's what we're doing we're going up we're going like way down so decovany will be you and brie will be played by who who's someone that's making a revival in her career right now that's popping back again that went away for a while is there a woman that's making like a comeback pop not a lot of movies are making a comeback really isn't that crazy kind of dying unfortunately so no movies we're done with demi demi more ah yeah okay brie could be demi more demi more demi more and david decovany there we go bffs too your new pod yeah you guys just give them the creative let them run let them run with it i mean you're a businessman why not yeah you got you have a bunch of different business ventures you feel like you're from the little i know of you yeah i feel like you've taught you're touching a lot of bases like what do you what are you involved in yeah um i have like a venture fund that's definitely one of the main focuses so we raised we were raising 15 i think we got oversubscribed and did 18 um so that's you know all venture we're pretty agnostic across the board and our investments uh anywhere we feel like we can really leverage we went about it in a little bit of a different way i was raising the money for this so it was kind of like why would all these people give an 18 year old millions of dollars to go and invest right and not like just like a social media 18 year old too like i know the stigma i'm pretty self-aware i would say like i know the stigma around tiktokers and especially at the time in covid to be like i'm a tiktoker and i'm gonna go raise all this money and invest it wasn't the easiest thing to do so what i did was for all the lps like i just went through all the lps and i got all the lps that i could get across the board of every single sector in either entertainment um in any like uh like investing world in bitcoin and i went and got like the winklevoss twins or like thomas tall or i went and got mark walberg or i went and i just got these people that were big names to come in and be the investor so then anytime i go and invest in a company we usually sit in between the like 100 to 250 000 check size uh so we're not competing with other venture funds and they'll actually bring us into the deals other venture funds because they get the credit for bringing us in and then we'll go in going in like a 250 check size and then we'll be able to leverage the 99 you know lps that we have that are all from these different worlds that there's always going to be someone that can help one of the companies and they want to do that because they're involved in the fund and it's going to help their money so the other funds get credit for bringing us in and doing all this good work then we get to come in without being competitors so everyone wants us in because we're not giving too much money like a million two million five ten twenty um and then we're going to be able to leverage um and then we're able to go and continue being in all these smart kid huh different companies so that's look at him and look at you did you didn't go to college no i dropped out of high school and look at that kids at home you don't need to go to college this kid's successful all you have to do is be handsome and smart and nice and it's going to work out you put your one foot in front of the other and it works out just fine yeah that's incredible no you skipped you you said no to college because you went right into getting an entertainment yeah so i um i my senior year of high school i switched into online and i was like i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do mine and then i just never did it did mom and dad were they a little bummed you didn't go what you guys call it university don't you yeah yeah i mean there's still college um but for a long time in canada college was seen as like that's where the dumb kids go and then ah is that what it is yeah it was weird in canada for for a really long time it was always like you go to university if you're smart if you're 80s and above you go to university if you're like not that smart you're going to you're going to college what's below that what's below college because i was that time it was whatever's below college like an apprenticeship but now it's it's flipped now it's flipped like everyone wants to go into an apprenticeship sure everybody wants to go and just get paid right out of high school and then not have to get into crippling student debt so why yeah if you don't know what you're going to school for why go to school why would you do it my generation was probably one of the last generations that got to go to school and it was still relatively fairly priced for college uh and and like the job markets were good yeah it was and you could get out and you didn't have to go to school for what your what your you know your focus didn't need to be what your job was going to be but you were going to be okay because the education would help you yeah yeah but i'm you know 20 years older like it was just a different time then and then now like my sister who's almost a decade younger than me i see with even her class of like you know it's just harder the job market's thinner so now i would say you know i don't have any kids if i ever had kids i would push them i'd say dude just figure out what you enjoy and let's focus on that the school for a lot of people i know was a waste i mean i have friends that went to school for seven or eight years yeah just there's no no it's crazy unless you're like a doctor there's they're definitely not doctors they know who they are they're absolutely not they need to go to the doctor more often i'll say that just because of their consumption of alcohol yeah i don't know it's it's another one of those like uh fake things that the you know the government just pushed on us like turkey this is an american dream that you need to live like you're going to go to school get good grades you go to college you meet the your partner for life there you know you go and buy a house right out of college you have your job you have your kids and that's your life it's a blueprint to be happy but it's just it's not true this thing from that's right you found how did you start what what kind of popped you off in tiktok from the beginning then what was the biggest thing that like bounced you into the into this you know yeah yeah viral world i mean i guess there was there was a few like of those like i guess aha moments right that kind of were like oh this is this is it this is it this is it um but i think what what really started it all was the like i was doing live streams which is funny that that's now kind of this meta again with like kaisen and you see these guys that do these lives um but i was going live on do you remember musically so musically was tiktok before bite dance came in and acquired it so it was the pre like have you ever heard of um this is a crazy poll jacob sartorius no okay okay jacob sartorius sartorius yeah yeah yeah okay so he was like this huge guy on this musically platform if you know like uh like sean mendez the musician sure he was kind of in that area he was more in the vine days but like meg khan this like group of guys very much like sway or hype house kind of they lived in that apartment together was it this thing yeah exactly i remember hearing about this yeah so um uh back then musically was the thing and i would go live and uh i i did it a couple times just for fun like i was posting my sister posted me in a video on her account it got like 100 likes we thought we were viral had a few comments on it from girls so i was like all right i guess i'm making an account you know um so then uh we started going live just because it was fun and these like emojis would start popping up on the screen and i'd be like what the are these and somebody comments like yo those are donations like people are sending you money and i was like you can make money off this like this is very new social media right this is 20 2015 at the time so this is kind of like i didn't i didn't even know you can make money off social media and uh i i start going live with my sister i find out there's a leaderboard list of the top 200 donators that updates every 24 hours on the app they would actually post who was sending in the most money and i was like yo post who was sending in the most money so i'm sitting there like 13 and i'm like okay i don't need a million followers i just need those 200 people every day i need those people so i'd give my sister my dad's a high school teacher so he'd have a high school assigned ipad i download musically give that to my sister log into my account she'd sit beside me i go live for four hours from 10 to 2 a.m every night i'd give her a 15 commission-based salary she'd sit there and she'd go through that list of 200 and follow them and like 15 of their videos with my account being logged in so you get 16 out of 10 of them and i'd like 15 of their videos with my account being logged in so you get 16 out of 10 of them and i'd like 15 of their videos with my account being logged in so you get 16 notifications from this random josh richards kid be like oh he's live his profile is blinking red i guess i'll go join they joined my live i would know as one of them because their username was highlighted in red and i'd be like yo what's up Ashley, how you doing? And then they would send a gift. And then it was like, my sister would be like, ah, we got him. And then it would just be doing that for like every night for four hours. My dad ends up thinking I'm selling drugs because $600 is going through his PayPal every night. So he sent me down like, you know, Josh, I'm no oblivious kid. I went to high school once too. And I get it. People like to do drugs. But, and I'm like, whoa, what? Where's this conversation leading right now, man? So then I had to explain to him what social media was. And he's sitting there like, so you're on live and people are paying you. Yeah, yeah. And he's like, and it's on video. Kind of sounds gay. And I was like, yeah, I guess. Well, I am doing gay stuff on it. Well, I got to get the money somehow. Like, what do you think? And no, but he was like, well, hey, you're making as much as a teacher. Keep it up. So he was like, they were really supportive, both my parents. They instantly were like, okay, how do we learn everything we can about social media? How do we know like what this is and what you're doing? And they were always like that with everything I do. So. It was great, but. That's huge. And dad was a high school teacher? Yeah, calculus teacher. What about your mom? She was a speech path. So you came from some good stock. Both very, like, they were very strict parents, but good parents, you know? But intelligent people. Yeah, of course. Yeah, that's where your, that's where your business acumen comes from. Yeah, definitely. The parents are obviously very smart. I mean, I think it was a really good combo growing up to have like numbers be, you know, implemented in me very young, which is social media, numbers game. And then also, the speech path side is like communication. So it's really the world of social media is numbers and communication. So like, I kind of came from the perfect parents for that. It's a perfect storm. They, they, yeah, they were always kind of just like super strong on that. They were super strong and like great. I needed to be a 90s kid. If I wasn't, I was. You were in deep shit. Oh, I was a month not seeing anything. You never not saw an A. If I, if I didn't, it was like, I'm going to be in my house for the next month besides school. Good God, dude. Yeah. I was Mr. B. And a lot of Cs. But Cs get degrees as far as my dad was concerned. Hey, I mean, once, you know, there's also this trickle down strictness that I find ends up happening with parents, right? They have the first kid. It's like, you can't put sand in your mouth. The second kid comes around. It's like, come on, spit that out. Third kid comes around. It's like, eh, dirt never really hurt nobody. Right? And the fourth kid, they're like, put sand inside of that kid. Fill that kid up with sand. Yeah, fill him up with sand. Like my brother, when he was younger, not to throw, not to throw you under the bus. Throw him right under the bus. I'm sorry, man. But he was a, he was like a B.C. kid and they were just like, he's doing what he can. Well, you're the first? Yeah. Well, they won with you. Yeah, they already hit the lottery. The other ones, they were like, who gives a shit, dude? They were like, you know what? We don't even need to start putting money in their school accounts anymore. Yeah, who cares? Fuck that. Well, how old is your, how old are your parents? My parents, my dad is 56. Okay, I was going to say. Yeah, yeah, my mom is 52. I don't know if they had you, if they had you when they were young. No, no, no. Their normal age. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My dad was like 32 when he had me, I think. Regular. What about you? You think you're going to, you think you're going to try at some point in the future? Down the road, do you want to be a parent and get married and do that whole thing? A hundred percent. I mean, I. I mean, you're a long way from that, but. Yeah, I don't think, you know, I don't think I'll have my first kid until like 32. I like that age number. Just around 30, yeah. I just think it's a good number. It keeps you like, you're still able to be healthy enough where you can go out and, you know, be a coach or do the thing and be active with the kid, but you didn't have a kid at 24, you know? Right. Don't have a kid next year. No, that's not the plan. So, no, but I want four kids. Like, I would be good with having, I'd be good with having like eight. You, seriously? Oh, for sure. My God. I would, I'd spread, spread the seed. You'd spread that seed, dude. With one woman. One woman. Sure, or, well, yeah, I mean, that's whatever makes you happy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever you do. No, definitely wanted to be with one woman. Gabby's already died, but I think I've already found the lady. You think this is marriage? I do. My God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen you guys together online. Oh, it's cute. Thank you. It's very cute. The kids get together on the internet. Yeah. But now there's two sides to this coin, just to play devil's advocate. I know, they're all good. Because you see, you see what happens to a lot of people, especially like your old, like Bree, who I don't know. I have no, I don't know her at all. But, you know, when your late relationships are public, it gets sketchy because the influence of the outside comes in to your relationship. Are you afraid of that hurting you guys? At all? Because you're very public about it. Yeah, we are very public, but we've been very public since the beginning of our relationship and we're over two, two and a half years now. So you're good. So I think we just, we just know how to handle it. Sure. And honestly, the best part about it is we've gotten better with it as time's gone on. So it hasn't been like this, like, oh, at the start, we were ignoring it and now it's building up inside of us and we're about to fucking unleash like Hiroshima upon each other. We got more of like, okay, we've done a better, better job of understanding each other as time's gone on. So I think, I think it's, it's only led in the right direction. Just don't let in the outside noise. No. Keep the windows and the doors locked. You know what I mean? Exactly. That's the problem. I think that happens a lot in socially public relationships, particularly in, in people that have grown such a significant following in social media like you, you know, like, I think a lot of times you see outside influence get involved and it starts to dart its way into your, definitely, into your opinions, into your actions. And I think as long as you shut that shit out and just focus on what's making, what's making you guys happy, I think you're fine. I mean, you hear something too many times, right? It's gonna, There's a lot of horror stories out there. Yeah. Yeah. And, and it does suck because the other thing is like, we'll do live streams together a lot. Right? So we go live and people take a clip and they post a, a 10 second snippet from a, you know, three minute bit that was going on. Yeah. And, you know, I, I'm very lucky where I found a girl that has good banter. They're tough to find, right? Yes. But I have found one that is actually, I find really funny and she will go back and forth with me and she'll give me shit and I think that's hilarious and we'll, you know, we'll, we'll pick at each other a little bit. But someone takes a 10 second clip of that, puts it out and then they, you know, throw a headline on Josh Richards disrespecting or sexualizing or it's like, yo, shut up. Well, they're gonna, everything's pulled out of context. Yeah. The internet, what do we say? Nuance is dead. Yeah. Context is gone. People don't, people, there's no need to, they don't see the whole thing because they've already made up their mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Like, that's the strangest, it's the detriment of the popularity of like, internet videos and interacting with parasocial relationships. People really do think they know you. You know, it's very strange. Or like, they think they know what's best for you, which blows my mind even more, right? Like, you might know a lot of things about me, but you don't know, you don't know what's best for you. Right. It's wild. Yeah, it's crazy. So, I don't know. It does, it does get tricky, but I think a lot of the times how I look at it is like, the people that are commenting those types of comments, Negative shit, you mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, just attacking and negative. Those people probably would have never been a fan anyways, right? They're never someone that's going to consume the content or be somebody that I want to have in like, the community of people that watch my stuff. So, at the end of the day, there's no loss. Kick rocks. There's no loss. Yeah. No, that's also true. Ironically, on the other hand, some of those people are your biggest fans because they watch everything that you do. Right? They're obsessed with you. Yeah. I mean, talking about Brie, Brie has a Reddit snark page that has 30,000 active members. People commenting about her all day. 24-7. That's crazy. And I mean, they might be her biggest fans in the world because every time a story goes up, every time, I mean, she could tweet something and it's instantly uploaded in the Reddit and 30,000 people It's pretty powerful. When you think about it, it's very odd to have that much power. Like, you know, and again, I've never met her. I don't know her. I only see what I've seen of her on the internet and through you guys in the show with Dave and everything. And it is, to see that from the outside, it is a bummer to watch like a public relationship go sour and then people have their opinion about it when particularly when most people at home don't have their own relationships together. Right. But they're quick to be like, you know, oh, and I knew this. That's because he's a dick or she sucks or whatever. And you're like, you don't know. I always say, you don't know what's going on in somebody's bedroom. You don't know what people are like when they lay down at night. When you turn off the live stream, I don't know what you and your girlfriend are talking about. That's your world that exists separate of this other thing. Yeah. And people forget how many people like put on a facade. For sure. Right. Like that's the thing that blows my mind is like, especially like in this social media world because in the acting world it's a little different because you're playing a character. All the time. Right. So you're not yourself ever. Right. You need to show up as yourself for like press interview junket. Maybe when you go on a podcast. And like the red carpet. That's about it. Right. But even then you're kind of putting on a show. You're still kind of putting on a show. Yeah. Right. Like you're elevated self in that moment. With social media influencers like they're putting on a facade so often 24-7 in their lives. Like you meet some of these people behind the scenes and you're like who the fuck are you? Like you're not the same guy Yeah dude. at all. Right. So it just yeah no one really knows. You kind of cracked this mold. That's why I liked you when I met you. I thought I knew nothing about you other than I knew who you were or knew of you and we met and we kicked it that night and I thought you're a good dude man. You're not you were different than what I thought social media world was going to be because I thought well he's going to be wrapped up in that bullshit and that's fine because you know a lot of times those guys I see them out and about and they're full camera crews and they're putting on an act and all that stuff but there was no act no bullshit with you. You came with who was that buddy that you came with? Chris Sato. Oh yeah. That was yeah he's my so the production company. I have. We run that together. But good people when you keep surrounding yourself with good people it's a tell. You know who you surround yourself with is going to be a tell over who you really are. Unfortunately I surround myself with him and a few other scumbags but that's only because it's charity bobby lee bobby's a pig yeah you know what's crazy is a um i really wanted to tell you the story actually um i went to a psychic okay recently where here in la here in la i went to a psychic and uh by the way so expensive a psychic a psychic is it really i've never done one i did i we had one live on the show i guess we went for the podcast right we went for the podcast um but i don't know if they they knew the podcast they were like okay let's upcharge them a little bit i think this thing was like 700 an hour for a reading for a reading 700 ours was cheaper than that and the woman came to us reading like i don't know what they they better have read deep yeah that's all i'm saying you got to be right right but um now she did you know sat down she looked at me she went you're an angel so she got me right away i was like yeah yeah tell me about how great i am uh but uh the one of the first things she she says to me is when she's looking into my eyes is she goes a little asian man and i went pardon me she goes you're destined you're destined to make incredible comedy with a little asian man a funny little asian man and i went the only one i know is bobby lee yeah that's the only only one that popped into my head so i'm i think i'm destined to you want to take over bad friends do it man i'm just saying i'm destined honestly i'm just saying i'm destined take it over it's a fucking nightmare you want to do it dude have at it honestly that's funny because uh our him and i's relationship which is you know for me comedy lightning in a bottle i you know i've said pretty adamantly that i think it's the greatest thing that's ever happened in my career for the fun wise just fun wise you know like it is very successful it's great it's the most fun i'd ever had and it was just him and i kind of making up for lost covid time you know that's really i mean you know that's kind of what we were doing was like well we can just do the show all the time and fuck it we're not touring like so that's kind of what catapulted that show a little bit but we always got on so well and it was right under my nose like i kind of just we never thought about it right just kind of were we would always goof and we were really good together but it's sometimes i think in this weird entertainment industry it's usually right in front of your face but you it's hard to see yeah yeah and maybe it takes someone else and to her credit kalilah his ex-girlfriend she she was kind of the one truly that put that that that told us we should do it wow genuinely it was we had joked about it but she was like no you really should do the show together and we didn't want to step on toes because he had his show with that with the tiger belly and i was doing this independently and it just kind of happened i just kind of and she was really the catalyst for like i give her a lot of credit she was one that was like why wouldn't you guys try and i was like i don't know we just i don't know and has that now grown bigger than both of your solo podcasts yeah that thing is yeah that thing is big we have a couple million subs i think and uh yeah right two something yeah it's great i mean yeah i feel like i always see it well the internet did to much credit to social media and people the clipping was well kids incredible we let the kids clip it to death i mean people had people were like can we clip it and use it and we're like yeah absolutely well that's you know how much it's worth to have a bunch of money some high school kids are making nowadays i like it good it's it is crazy well we got we got called did we talk about this one time we got called from a tiktok rep one time at the very beginning remember that and they were like hey these guys are all making a lot of content on it we had like a liaison pages that were making your content yeah and this liaison was like hey man just letting you guys know because we had just started our tiktok page i think or something and they were like hey you should um you should know these people are making real money on your yeah clips and i said well how much money are they making and then she's like oh this is making a this that's making that and she's like do you want us to flag them or bar them or remove them and i was like no that doesn't even make sense i was like i don't care they can keep the money they're making the clips and it's also incredible promo yeah it's great work and the amount of money you're gonna get recouped for those like from people stealing your content or whatever you want to like label it as the value there is so much less more than the than the promotion that yes yes i was like we'll take the also we used to say like uh at one point i came in and i said dude this these kids are clipping our clips are doing better clips than we're doing oh so i was like just copy their clips these kids already putting all the work click download repost i was like dude let's just let's just copy whatever some of these kids in high school making over a hundred thousand dollars a year doing clips just doing clips just doing good for them amazing that i didn't have the opportunity in high school the only guys i knew that were making real money in my generation you were selling drugs or you were selling drugs you really didn't there wasn't there was my dad my dad wasn't wrong he was right me in the way your dad was correct by the way like it made sense yes he's right it really did and i did sell drugs in high school and i i didn't make a lot of money i sold weed not drugs i sold weed yeah which is like kind of like soft it was soft it was just so i could make enough money to have weed right right you can't i sold weed so i got free weed you can't really even call yourself a drug dealer i well i did not i would have never i would never no i was a i was a i was a um a free weeder i just wanted to invest in drug dealers when i was younger you did yeah yeah yeah i was one of the things you were a pimp when i started making money with social media i i was like man like i want to make money with social media i i was like man like i want to make money with social media i i was like man like i want to make money with social media i i was like man like i want to make money with social media i i was like man like i want to make money with social media i i was like make money with social media i i was like i want to make money with my money and how can i do that quickly so i actually started meeting with like three or four of the drug dealers in my small town and was like so like let's talk numbers right if i was to front you like five grand ten grand what do we get and what is our profit here it's pablo escobar what are we what are we doing um i ended up not doing it out of fear and from the fact that i came from you know a white together family household um and i was like i don't need you want to go to prison i didn't mess any of this up right you want to go to prison prison prison prison would have been bad bad for me what do they call it what's that racketeering is that what he would have been involved in that has been the crime something financing drug dealers i think it's racketeering right probably is that what that is or am i wrong i almost i almost was tempted to bet on polymarket that uh brad dahlke and them were all going to win the should have done it so invitational but i was like i saw those nba guys go down for it and i thought you know what maybe i won't don't want to be like that i don't want to be like that but i saw the polymarket odds it was like it was like before the last video came out i mean you saw there were only two options left you could bet on uh beef you could bet on beef or francis to win win the oh the the invitational and it was like if you put down 10 000 you were winning like 15 and i was like it's immoral it didn't feel right you don't need to do that it didn't feel right no what is it is it racketeering was that right what is that mine just said money laundering when i looked it up but i don't know maybe it is laundering yeah yeah yeah no yeah i could you can't do that but and also rest in peace beef a through that very moment in time yeah i got to play nine holes with him so it was great i'm really happy like i got to do that you know um just uh just a guy you could tell was a light you know what i mean yeah like you could tell every time he walked in a room like everyone loved him yeah you seem extremely sweet you know what sucks about that is uh and this is you know this sounds like you want more you want some sauce i'll take a little more yeah it sounds it sounds like do you want more sauce i don't want to drink yeah no i will do okay okay this sounds like i'm placating but we say this in the comedy world when somebody dies you're like why him there's so many other guys that could have died that i don't like right why did it have to be a guy that i like like that was the most whenever someone in comedy dies it's always a guy that you go that guy that guy's rad yeah why that's a lot of bad guys there's so many dudes that could die and i'd go okay yeah not gonna miss that guy at all yeah right so it is true that the god that god takes the good ones for some reason but that guy seems very nice they're too good for this place that's a good that's a good perspective let's look at it that way they're too good they're too good for this place and god goes let's get

know it's funny religious is a tough word don't i would say don't tell me you're one of those guys that's here in la now and goes i'm spiritual no no no no no i grew up i grew up i grew up uh catholic when i was a kid and then there we go chris presbyterian which is like diet catholic it's like coke zero for catholic are you a coke zero guy no but that's kind of what it feels like because it feels like it's close to the product but it's not the same thing it doesn't taste as good right the payoff isn't probably as good just drink regular coke in my mind well but presbyterian we just have a longer line to get in that's all it is you know what i mean you guys kind of got a little bit of a You gotta check your coats, it takes a while. - Well, it's like, we, Presbyterians, are allowed the um the we don't have priests they have uh uh ministers and they're allowed to uh get be married have children have a happy family which i'm very pro the catholic thing was very weird that it's like let that guy get married man i don't get it he he's he's fuming by the way yeah let that poor guy get married let the guy get married he's like i married god it's like that's not a real thing dude just just have a family not all so that's what i like about the presbyterians that when my it's safer for everyone it's nice so let the guys be happy in fact my parents had had a minister couple that was a husband and wife that both switched off uh giving sermons and stuff which i thought that was christian it's the same too right christian well christian big umbrella christian's everything but i mean like presbyterian or i think maybe lutherans like that maybe or one of the two methodists my dad was one of those other ones there's no other one but catholic where you can't get married though right as the priest i think i don't know i'd be ignorant to say i know but i don't he can look it up but i know i know that and that always bothered me because the priests were always in a bad mood in fact when my grandma died um a couple of us were cracking jokes we're irish that's what you do when people die and the priest didn't even crack a fucking smile and i was like take it easy father well the catholics they're harsh man hey it's more about like i find like when i was going to school in in a catholic school because in canada we have public funded catholic schools oh they're not private they're not private oh that's like we go to catholic school and it's public um so i went to a catholic public school and they would teach us more about hell than heaven yeah it's like they want to fear they want you to be the installation of fear is real scared yeah they want you to be fearful that if you make the wrong move you are going to hell and you are going to burn forever it's not like be a good person because you're going to go to heaven i find it's very like be afraid because you could go to hell yeah you might go to hell yeah you're jerking off you're going to go to hell or you're going to be blind or something yeah it's like i'm in junior kindergarten i don't even know what jerking off is yet no wait till you find out though you're going to love it well see what's interesting about going blind from masturbating i my vision is getting worse as i get older so that does kind of align right what they should have told you was it's a sliding scale like you won't go blind the first thousand times it's like the opposite of carrots it's going to catch up to you right well i eat carrots while i jerk off so i'm trying to offset it a little bit then you're probably batting that's also why i'm orange yeah i think so i got 20 20 vision kid just because those carrots tell me is it the only one where the pre where the the the i got him i could see maybe monks not getting married and stuff but that's my choice protestants they can't allow and it's just catholics and proud yeah yeah catholics and protestants yeah so to go but to answer your question what say it go ahead it only became a rule in the 11th century so before they were getting married yeah so why did we change it up prior celibacy and priesthood since the gregorian reform the late 11th century under the god damn gregorians man they always i'll tell you why they changed it up i'll tell you why because one guy one priest couldn't get laid and he was a loser you know what we shouldn't get married at all and everyone's like what no yeah that that that vagina is probably taboo for the bible probably gross anyway right god like witches so i had a dream god talked to me and said we shouldn't do with chick stuff anymore we should i saw a burning bush and he said no more bushes no more bush he said yo the bush is not the move and they're like well what about shaved he's like no no no no that's not gonna be around for so long anyways guys we don't have to worry about that 10 centuries away man by the time that comes around we're not so we're not i wouldn't say religious because i don't i think it's a vague term but i have my uh belief system uh and uh i believe that um i believe that i'm a tiny little dot on something much more powerful and grand than me i can't really define it i get that but i know that you think that there's a greater power oh well i would i think it'd be hard to deny that right i mean i'm sure people do but i'm saying there's atheists yeah well that's silliness people i think you just die and die that's it sure okay but also that's insane i think that's why yeah it's the same way as to look at like a microwave you're like i don't even know how that works but it does do you know what i mean it's like well there's got to be something holy i can't explain half of the things on earth but i'm like if this if i can see the things that i can't explain there's got to be something that i definitely can't explain i mean i don't think the mind can encompass if we use such little of our brains imagine if we could use it we'd probably start to see more than what what exists i thought that was all i thought that whole like we only use like nine percent of our brains was like a thing it's real is that real oh yeah it's fake you only you can only use a certain amount at any given time time that's what i mean is all of it no no no yeah no that this is kind of like these are two things getting conflated you only use a small percentage at once what it's saying is it's impossible for the brain to be used in completion at one time it's impossible for like it's like it'd be like saying you know only one section of your heart is working right now well we're using you're using the whole thing this thing is pretty dynamic yeah yeah you can only use a little bit of it at once imagine if you could use all of it at once we'd be we'd be we'd be floating right now right i'd be levitating we'd be levitating talking about flying i saw you in now you see me three last night oh you watched the movie the guy flow flow flew away from me oh yeah yeah yeah how was it i didn't see it it was good i gotta go watch it it we gotta go as a family you what what was your what was your character's name what was it oh i don't remember isn't that funny i should know he's like a crypto bro was what the pitch was bro it was a crypto they were like and i was ripping people off or something i should look up you were doing a pump and dump i was classic pump and dump dog stole the money from the people and then and then you dumped all yours so everyone lost their money right and they went and did their you know horseman act i won't even be in the look at i'm not even in the i actually looked it up this morning you're not even in the cast is that why is that why you have a bathroom not in your studio they're not paying you enough yeah well we do that because i don't want to smell your that's why we were like no thanks man i wasn't going to come here and then take it my guy i have no idea what you're up to brett are you guys coming here and 100 are they not all the time brett finnegan brett finnegan good guess dude how was the film as a whole be brutally honest yeah brutally honest i thought it was i thought it was good it was not bad huh it was not bad it was it was what you kind of want out of like those movies i think was it better than the earlier ones no the early ones were pretty good i like the first two more um what i will say is i thought like it tricked me which i like when i get tricked as an audience member i find that's really hard to do in movies nowadays like the audience is pretty intelligent yeah so like when it came out i kind of knew it was going to happen the second before it happened but i didn't know it was going to happen until that scene came upon so i was excited about that i think there were a couple of the moments where i was like they're cringy moments but it's a magic movie there's going to be it's supposed to be there's going to be those moments that's like you know like the guys like you know what guys i think we need to do this you know when you're kind of just like it's like disney disney yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah very nickelodeon you you kind of are like you're watching a movie about magicians take on a diamond thief like there's going to be those it's going to be corny yeah yeah like the diamond the diamond lady like that's the main villain like there's a moment at the beginning where she like shoves a dot like she asked one of her employees to open their mouths and stick their tongue out and they're like what and so they do it and she sticks the diamond in his mouth and it's like see the value of a diamond is 30 million dollars but if it kills him and he swallows it it's priceless isn't it and everyone's just kind of like well yeah yes yeah what's that even mean like it was like one of those like they're trying to make like a bond villain they're trying to make like a really badass villain but i felt like it kind of was like uh who is it was it rosamund pike is that her name i don't know the i don't remember the name she did a good job in the i just think that there were a couple of those moments right where you see it and you're kind of like that's kind of a crazy but you you get into it i do you know what's so funny is i admittedly i hadn't seen any of them i watched it when i got a call to do it and my my friend who directed it was like hey we're doing this movie in budapest do you want to go to hungary and i was like i don't know let me ask my wife i was like should we go to budapest is that is that kind of the anytime you get the call

he's an attorney he's a he's an attorney in the marines in the marine corps so his world is very very unique and he gets bounced around all over the place it's cool though but he was like i don't know you know we'll see what it looks like and then possible retirement and then move on to something else and i thought this is so funny we don't retire in this business no it's not it's not a real thing but we get to live like a retiree now you pretty much do it until everyone calls you irrelevant and then you kind of just float around and just me dude they're doing that already to me so i'm just i'm done you do cameos i'm knocking those out of my way dude yeah yeah yeah no but i mean you just got to keep doing it until it stopped fun it's stopped until it's not fun for you anymore that's a really cool part about this right it's like as creatives you you do it until it's not fun yeah then you switch up what you do and then go do some other shit yeah that's the thing you just what does it look like at the very show me in your mind what your life looks like in the latter half of your year of your years like what would be the perfect world for you to go you know what this is what i would love to have happen the lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything even our music that hit song named after the color of lemons not a coincidence big lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years think about it but now seven up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda now lime comes first seven up flip the

zocdoc app today in the latter part of my life like like give me give me give me an age let's say let's say when you're like in in your 50s 60s like right around there like let's say 55 to 65 what does that look like which for you is 80 years from now yeah 55 so when i'm 55 um you know at that point i'm hoping i am i'm probably i'm probably you know third or fourth kids getting out of the house at this point sure i would say right um i would say really what i want to be doing is maybe like i would like to be doing a lot of uh back-end stuff at that point a lot of like bts stuff like i would like to be doing like more uh producing and directing at that point i would like to be still involved in the investment side that stuff is just a lot of fun to me to like stay kind of a part of the present future uh like you get to kind of be a part of both with investing i think that's really fun um and just getting to talk to new founders always always intrigues me so i think that's something i'll forever do um acting is something that i've gotten more and more uh into as the years have gone on through my life like even from a young age i've just continued to have more and more love for it so i think being able to do that when i can uh would be amazing uh i think the only difference that that would really happen is you know i don't think i'd be doing thirst traps no more thirst i think that's eventually you don't think you'll be a 55 year old guy showing your abs well i wouldn't be showing my abs i just said i wouldn't be doing thirst traps correct all right you know they might be getting watched in a different way sure right yeah i mean we'll see you never know we'll see or or you become the most popular guy on only fans which i've talked to you about i've said at dinner you gotta do it dude i'll take i'll be the photographer a lot of people have offered to be the photographer i want to be and if i didn't think you were attracted before wait till you start yabbing about money i mean i'm like this guy hot smart young good god i said nine years of marriage but i might shift and come be your full-time photographer i'll pull you over can i stay at your house yeah great hell of rooms i just kicked out two roommates so you had people living at your house yeah friends yeah yeah yeah i'm young so like i don't i don't want to just you don't want to be alone yeah but does she live with you your girlfriend my girlfriend pretty okay so she has this is the thing i love about her so much she is like so not about you know when you get into this world you sometimes have to worry a little bit about like is somebody with you for the money or not sure i know how much she isn't because of how this is going to sound like a diss and it's really not i'm trying to i'm trying to give love to gabby right now she is not smart with money in the slightest she doesn't know what money is and i don't know if that's because of like how she was brought up or what it is like she wasn't she does not come from money she so i think money for her just isn't important it doesn't matter it doesn't matter in the slightest right like that is not like she has an apartment that she's renting right now for example and gabby has done really well she's done really well really really well in this last year like she she's victoria's secret model this year did the runway like she's she's really been picking it up but you know to waste money to waste money is still silly regardless sure this girl has like an apartment she rents like a nice apartment that's by the way three minute drive away from my house she's spending thousands of dollars a month on this rental space i think she has spent maybe 10 nights why don't you just tell her to move in all the way what's the difference i i would say like yo live with me just live you already live with me right like you just have that apartment for storage essentially just get a storage unit at this point right like it's way cheaper um but she's like i want to feel independent i want to have something that's mine that like if i want to i can go to if my mom comes into town i don't want to have to say josh can my mom stay at your house my mom comes into town or my friends come in from brazil and i fly them in i don't want to have to say josh can my friends that's nice and it's it's kind of it's kind of relieving to have that person that's like they just they don't have to have that person they don't have to have that person they don't they don't care at all about that's good well she's thoughtful she she that that's a good quality to find in a partner someone that thinks about other people other than themselves that's truly what she's being is selfless going yeah in case i don't want to burden other people of course with my bullshit yeah yeah but you at some point you got to have her move in it will happen gotta happen it will happen soon yeah make it easy and also i'm kind of like you know you could give that 3k 4k to my mortgage i mean like exactly right you want to invest in me i mean let's go what is good about still living in different places like when we were still dating i remember like the uh you know like the excitement sometimes when she was like at her place and was like hey i'm gonna come over yeah see that's fun yeah i do like that like there's something about that that's it's kind of like sexy and like you're like oh shit i'm i'm going over to her house at 12 o'clock i'm getting a booty call it's fun that's hot yeah that's fun because that does go away trust me yeah you can hold her down now it's like you guys have kids no we have no kids no we can't have kids we tried we tried for a long time i have now i have a 50 year old korean guy and a 26 year old i'm sorry these are my children yeah these are my kids do you guys did you guys ever think of like adoption yeah we thought about it yeah we thought about it is it like you're still in the thought process yeah we still talk about it all the time it's like a never-ending conversation do you think it'll ever happen i don't i don't know i really don't know it's kind of like uh it's contingent upon my life here in la so we continue this show for a year or two more um then we probably it's more likely that we will but if i stop doing the ads the next couple of years then and we'll move then probably not you think stopping the podcast would cause you not to get a kid yeah because i because that's straight i felt like it would be the opposite no because i think then would be like uh not an early retirement but like because by then in a couple years i'll be in my mid-40s and i would think we would we kind of had talked about um selling a lot of our shit and just bouncing around and just kind of living a little bit free yeah traveling a bunch and then like not having like a house not having a permanent it's not be really rad to just kind of like fly a little bit because we've been spending the last you know again i don't know if i could do that man yeah well but think about this i'm 20 years older like it's a different i had a whole but i love home you do i love home i don't really care are you traveling a lot right now like all the time assuming you are i'm leaving in an hour to go somewhere else okay so like i i am so ready for the point of my life where i get to stay in my home that's in a golf community and i golf and i'm gonna have a membership and i'm a coach and that sounds like a dream you want to be a dad already that sounds like a dream yeah no it's i i've always been a busy body i can't sit still and so i don't the travel is fun for me yeah i like new places new experiences new people like i kind of i don't have any i don't have a lot so when i when i was a kid and my mom was a single mother i think this is the reasoning and she met my stepdad uh we moved from downtown chicago from the city to the suburbs and then you were mainly raised by your stepdad yeah oh yeah yeah yeah that's how my dad was too so i was raised by my you know i was raised by my stepdad and my mom and when we moved to the suburbs um i always kind of felt like it was nice but i was like i don't it never felt it was more of a house than a home you know my instinct is always like house over home yeah because i always wanted to go and do stuff i was never really a kid who was like i'm a home body and i'm at home it's just a house it's a place to sleep yeah i guess i i'm not saying like i'm a home body like i'm somebody that just wants to like rot in my house all day long i just think it's more of like a place to go back to yeah there's something nice about having a yeah like uh i don't know there's to me it's like i always find my my favorite my my only flight that i like more than leaving la is my flight coming back home oh okay like that's the only flight i like see i like taking off i love coming home i get home you think food is better in other parts of the world
