Stanley Lefty | Son of a Boy Dad #432

The episode blends humor and real-life chaos through a series of personal tragedies. The host recounts a frustrating experience with a rental car, where he is booted from a parking spot and later charged $500 for a key, despite no wrongdoing. This is paired with a lively, comedic story from a weekend trip to California for a Draft Kings event, where he meets Chef Donnie—a witty, bilingual performer who effortlessly navigates airport rules and wins over guests with charm and improvisation. The episode escalates into a travel nightmare when the host’s flight is switched to a cramped, outdated Boeing 737 with no beds, leading to a painful, sleepless journey. He then faces additional delays, including a missing luggage claim and a grueling traffic drive back home. The absurdity of the situation is amplified by the host’s deadpan humor and the bizarre coincidence of receiving a collection of Delta pilot trading cards, including rare ones with pieces of the plane and even a "goodbye" message from a pilot. The episode serves as a satirical yet heartfelt reflection on modern travel frustrations, bureaucratic failures, and the unexpected humor found in life’s mishaps. It concludes with a light-hearted nod to the absurdity of airport culture and a tribute to Delta pilots, highlighting both the chaos and the unexpected joys of real-world experiences.

And high noon to me is the Apex tailgate drink because if you're tailgating, you don't want the after or side effects of things like malt. - No. - Coming with you into the game, into this going into a stadium with malt, that sounds terrible to me.

Welcome back to the son of a boy dad podcast. Today it is, is it September 1st or is it August 31st? - It is August 31st for you. - August 31st for us stuck in the past. - It's a tragedy off this morning. - It's a tragedy off. - Two tragic mornings from the future morning and a tragic. - Mine's really not, I've just tragically the wrong word. I mean, it was a bad, like it wasn't a bad, it was more just like funny. Like how, like, I mean, I'll get right into it. I was away this weekend and I had a rental car. - Where'd you go? - I was up in, I was up in Pennsylvania and I had a rental car and I was driving back yesterday and I had a show at Sesh. I was doing Leves show and I didn't have to, I was like, I don't feel like bring, I don't have time to bring the car back and all this shit. So I was like, I'm just gonna extend it, bring it back in the morning. So I parked it in my, like, right, I have a parking lot in my building, like behind my building and I parked it there overnight. And then this morning I was like, you know, I got ready, whatever went outside to get it and there's a boot. There's a boot, there's a boot. - A boot? - A boot on the car and there's like a crowd of people around it and I looked at it and immediately just turned around and I was like, I'm just gonna Uber to work and I'll figure this out later. Right when I turn around someone goes, yo, is this your car? And I was like, fuck. And I was like, yeah. And they were like, you gotta go to like the office, like the landlord's office and they'll figure it out. So I go in there, the lady at the desk tells me to take a seat. So I'm like, oh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna be going to jail. And it ended up being nothing. Like the guy was like, yeah, you gotta pay to park there. Like even if you live in the building, like they paid spots and I was like, all right. And he was like, I'll let you off the hook though. Like no problem. And I was like, cool. So it was booted by the landlord. Dude, that is such an overkill reaction for someone who ultimately just let you off the hook to put a boot on a car. It's crazy. That's usually when it's like this car has been parked illegally for 14 years. It was there for like 10 hours. This has been fucking up alternate side street cleaning for 14 years. They don't make this model anymore. Clearly the person has died or fled the country. Yeah. It was pretty, I was pretty shocked to see it. But my only thing was like, I assume he must have thought it was like someone that doesn't live in the building. I see. So maybe when he found out I lived in the building, he was like, you're fine. Anyways, this is really isn't much of a tragedy. But, so what it's worth really quick. Harry comes in and was like, I just had a tragedy of a morning. And I was like, me too. Yeah. And then he was like, well, really mine wasn't that bad. Which is usually how things go. Because I know you took like a red eye and stuff, which automatically is worse than mine. I really thought you guys are going to announce the death of a living being. No, no, no, no deaths. But so I get, he comes in, he gets the boot off. He's like, you're good to go. I bring the car back to Hertz. I was going, I didn't change. I had to, I was supposed to drop the car off in Pennsylvania, which I did not. And I went back and forth with Hertz like a thousand times. I was like connected to like a live agent on their like chat thing. And I like caught them using, they were just using AI. They left the prompting like on the message. It says, it's head co-pilot says. And then it was a copy and pasted message. And they did it twice. And I was like, who's, I was like, what's co-pilot? And they're like, sorry, that was a typo. And then I, so I just got bodied by them pretty much. Drop the car off, not a big deal. I was kind of sweating it. I thought I was going to pull up and they were going to be like, no, you can't. But they were, they didn't care. Then I'm ubering to the office from LaGuardia. And I'm digging around my pockets and I find the keys to the car. - Oh no. - Oh no. And then I checked my email and they charged me $500 for it. And then they called me and they were like, I was like, I'm assuming this is about the key. And I was like, I have it, I'm going to bring it back. And they were like, yeah. And I was like, can I bring it back in like an hour or so? And they were like, could you bring it back any sooner? And I was like, no, I can't. So now they're like, yeah, you can still bring it back. But I'm like, I was telling Tyler like, if they don't waive that charge, I'm keeping the key. (laughing) I'm not bringing it back and still getting charged. That's crazy. - That's my cartoon now. - Yeah. I mean, I literally, I'll just keep it, I'll just hold it in my pocket. - Forever. - Yeah, I'll say, I mean, why would I, if they're going to charge me $500? - You should put it on a necklace. It was going to be $500. - That was seriously. Get it iced out. - Yeah, that was pretty much it. - I don't disagree with that take, you know. - Oh, no, yeah, it's crazy. I mean, but I'm assuming they're going to, I don't think they're going to be like this. - You need to make sure, though. - Oh, yeah, of course. - Yeah. - I'm going to get it, I'll get the money back. - Mm-hmm. - That's bad, though. I mean, I wonder if you can, would that still work on that car? - I would assume so, yeah. - I don't know, can you, I mean, I'm never mind, I'm not even going to say anything. - No, I was just like, can you change the locks? - I don't find-- - On a car. - I don't think so. - To change the ignition and locks and all that. Maybe was it one of the automatic-- - Yeah. - So you just press the button. Maybe that's easier. - I feel like that would be harder. - You know, I can see one of these things right now. Like, I always play this out in my head now where I'm like, yeah, what I just say was probably pretty stupid. And people will get on me and be like, I can't believe Francis did thought you could change the locks on the car. To that, I would say, I've never worked in car locks. - I have no experience working in the locking mechanisms of cars. - Yeah. - That's not something I did. - Like if it's a button. - Do you remember, really quick? Do you remember when I was like, dude, I saw it in Palm Beach, all these cars that were like Sheriff's cars? - Oh yeah, yeah. - And I didn't know that I was like, they have so many Sheriff's down there. - Yeah. - And then everyone got on me about not knowing that all these Cobb cars were part of the Sheriff's department. It's like, yeah, I've never been a Cobb. I've never worked in law enforcement. That's new. And by the way, cool. I was pleased to learn pieces of that. - Teach me. - The more have you ever committed a crime that's warranted the entire Sheriff's department? Maybe one or two Sheriff's departments, but that could be a Sheriff and a deputy. - Correct. - Yeah, correct. - A bunch of Sheriff's, you've never seen them all gather before. - I've never had a cop need backup for me. - Yeah, that's like seeing a flock of wine. - No one's ever pulled me over and been like, I'm gonna need the Sheriff's department. - No, no, never. I don't even know what you would have to do to get the Sheriff run. - You'd have to be a special kind of outlaw to get the Sheriff. I feel like Sheriff's are only coming for outlaws. Like Baylifts and Sheriff's. - Oh yeah. That's old West shit. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I saw a video of a dude on a bike chase the other day. I don't know if it was real or if it was AI, but someone dropped off gas for him in the park. Bid chase and he's like flying through the park and then he gets this big jug of gas and starts pouring it in as they're chasing him. So that's pretty genius to be honest. - Was he the guy who was on the phone for a bunch of times? I didn't see that guy as well. He was like calling everybody and his phone, but he and I. - Who can drop me some gas in the park asking for gas? - It's like something at a hunger game. - Yeah. - Like some wealthy sponsor was like I've sent you some gas, stay alive as long as you can. What were you saying? I didn't, I'm sorry for cutting. - No, no, that was really it, that was it. - Okay. - I was the tragedy. The real, I'll be honest, the real tragedy is that I now have to go back to Hertz. That's the tragedy. - But the silver lining is that you now live very close to LaGuardia. So it's not that big of a deal. - No, it's gonna add an extra 20. - I think the fact that there were two separate snaffos, both of which were your fault, but they weren't even related to each other. The fact that you parked in the wrong place and got booted and then you left with the key. - It's your fault. - The key ones just so devastating. - Yeah, but those are like, that's who I was. - That's tragic, both of those things. - I've never done that ever. You've gotten boots. - I've never gotten a boot either. - The boot when I saw the boots. - My initial reaction was like, I'm gonna deal with this later. 'Cause this seems like it's gonna be a long process. (laughing) Like I was about to text you guys and be like, I'm fucked. I'm not gonna be able to record until 8 p.m. (laughing) - How do they know it was your car when you turned away and you were like, I'll do it with this later and they're like, hey, is this your car? - 'Cause they probably all know each other. - Or they saw you fucking hitting the button. It was bleeping in front of you. - I mean, the boot. - Fuck. - At least it wasn't like on, like a boot on the street, you're done. - Yeah. - You get to wait like a couple of business days to get that thing removed. - You need to meet with the mayor. (laughing) - Yeah, it's cool to come down. - You gotta get AOC on the line to come down with some kind of like skeleton king in the name of communism. - You locked it quick. I think I could have unlocked it to be honest. (laughing) - It goes, I might have been like a fan. I might have been for show. (laughing) - She has a skeleton fertility job that can unlock any boot in the city. Have you seen now that they replaced the boot with the, they'll put something on your windshield like a suction thing on your windshield. They like open something up and it's suction's on your windshield. So you can't see anything to drive. - I can get around that. Just like the head out the window. (laughing) - Damn, so Francis, what was your tragedy? - You're up. - Okay, well that was pretty bad. - Pretty tragic. - Not tragic, but it's funny. It was kind of just like, I felt like I was in like a comedy movie. - Yeah. - You know? - Like an Adam Sandler movie. - Yeah. - series of unfortunate events. - No, Ben Siller scribbling notes listening to this podcast. - You know, I think in now that we are in the sort of like that classic run up to September 11th, we should do like a week of tragedies. - Yeah, well that's good. - To honor the ultimate. - Yeah. (laughing) - We've got like four episodes between now and that and the big one. - It's like Hanukkah for tragedies. Where it's like you don't get your best gift on the first day. - Right. - Like advent tragedies. - Yeah, you can open up a calendar every day - Yeah. - Like a small, like a whole landslide in Pakistan. (laughing) - 4,000 killed. We never even heard about this one. - 'Cause we're hearing about the rental car tragedies. - Yeah. - R tragedies. So my tragedy, so I went to California for the weekend, which I don't know why. I mean, well, I know why. I went for this really cool draft Kings event which was held at Pebble Beach for their VIPs. So I was just like, I'm not a VIP, I was just shaking hands and. - I manned the long drive hole all day with Chef Donnie who might be the funniest person that works at Barcelona. - Oh yeah, yeah. - I swear to God, that dude is fucking hysterical. - Yeah. - He, 'cause he was starting to like, we were so bored that he was drinking. I was like, I'm not gonna drink just 'cause I'm bored. And the more he drinks, the more confident he gets that what he's saying will somehow work itself out. (laughs) And he doesn't, the things that are coming out of his mouth sound like Confucius sayings, but they don't make any fucking sense. (laughs) I swear to God, he said something and I was like, well, what does that mean? He goes, well, you know, every Julius needs to find its Caesar. (laughs) I was like, can you explain that? And he was like, you know, basically you don't know if you're a man until you get your official title. I'm like, okay, well, that had nothing to do with what we were talking about, but anyway, the point is. - Did he just mean those two words have to go together? - I think that he just like has this random grab bag of phrases and sayings that is close at hand and he'll toss them out and then keep moving without letting someone think about it. - But sometimes he's dead, right? Did you hear the one where he was like, if you see three girls who are friends, no, they're not. (laughs) - It's Yogi Berra-esque. I mean, he's really quite gifted in that. - That's like 10 words of like perfection. I know, that's like very economical language. So it's like, you can't blame him for just saying shit if every now and again, there's a gem that comes out of the factor. Last night, we were both taking red eyes and he was not flying on Delta, but he came to the Delta Lounge to see me and I was already in there. And he'd walked a pretty long way 'cause he had been in a Centurion Lounge. And I was like, can I come have a drink with you? And I was like, yeah, sure. And I went down to get him and I thought I could just use a guest pass, but they were like, oh, he's not flying Delta. He can't come in. And we were like, oh, bummer. And I'm like, we like hugged goodbye and whatever. And I went back upstairs to the full of Lounge. Five minutes later, he walks in. And I was like, wow, he goes, I can talk my way out of anything. And I was like, that's amazing. Like, how'd you do it? And he goes, well, I told her we were cousins and I haven't seen you in a long time. And she was like, I'm sorry, you're not flying Delta. And he goes, and then I said, what will you do if I just walk by? (laughing) And she said, there's nothing I can do. I guess. And he just walked in. That's crazy. Like put his head down and like broke her rule. Yeah, that's insane. And didn't look back. And I'm like, you didn't talk your way out of that. And just we're willing to fucking commit probably some kind of crime in an airport. In an airport, it's crazy. Which is what nobody would do. Now, I mean, he was so gleeful about it. It was fucking hilarious, dude. Yeah, you got to be on your best, but I'm surprised he didn't get arrested. He was also, by the way, 'cause he had talked about getting drink, I wasn't. I didn't want to drink. And so I was like, go get yourself a drink. Celebrate that victory. And he went up and he comes back. I thought he was gonna have a beer. He has this brown, brownish drink and a glass. Like, what is that? And he goes, rum and coke. (laughing) I go, you're drinking rum and coaks before red eye? And he goes, yeah, I mean, I've had like four. Oh, shit. At this point, you know, this is gonna be the perfect way to knock myself out. I'm like, wow, okay. I don't hate that. I don't hate just knocking yourself out, but you really have to hit it perfectly. That's a, that's a, that's a, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I feel like people like think they're gonna, I feel like it takes a little longer to get tired from drinking than people think. I feel like you kind of get like an energy boost almost. Especially when it's your mixer is highly happening. It's so bad. If he's having straight up rum and coaks, he probably just had like 500 grams of sugar. (laughing) He's like, I'm gonna go to bed. Yeah. I mean, he was so funny. Getting into the delta lounge by force is fucking hilarious. I never even thought about that. He was killing it. Yeah, legally, he can't stop you. Yeah. Like, did he even trespass if they legally can't stop him? No, she was just like, yeah, I guess I don't know. There's not much I can do. There's not a cure. And he was like, well, and then he just walked past her. That's insane. Never like showed his boarding pass. No, like nothing, just bang, I'm gone. If you're bold enough to not follow some of society's rules, I think that there's somewhere they didn't even consider a security breach. Correct. There's no security on site. There's no one that can even-- It has me thinking about that line at La Guardia. Like, you can just, that line's kind of just for show. You could probably just walk around the metal through the line. Yeah. Maybe, but they've got five or six people working at the ground floor there. What are they gonna do? I can't do anything, apparently. They can, if you just walk right to the escalator. No, I'm saying like, when you're like the line at the Delta Lounge in-- Yeah, you go right past the outside line, right past the kiosks, and go right to the escalator. Right at the escalator, but I'm saying that-- Seal the lounge. Yeah. Where that the kiosks are, where all the little like electronic machines, there's just five or six people. Five or six women. Well, there's usually one guy who looks like he's ready-- An elder gay. Yeah, it's usually a gay. Fair enough. It's an elder gay. Sometimes Mexican gay. It might be. I'm picturing like super strong black gay. Really. Yeah, that-- He's got like the vest on that is like, looks like a wife, beater, shirt, brunt on through it. Yeah, he's just that thing. Yeah. Tensically, I don't think you can count on that. Now, there's probably times where you start walking through and you skip the whole line, and you run into the super jacked black gay Delta guy, and you realize that you're fuck, because you risk your life. and now you have nowhere to go, but the other 99 times you're going to be there's going to be no resistance. Yeah, you're not wrong. Yeah. Well, anyway, I'm going to move. Yeah, it was pretty fun. I had a great time with him. I he's, you know, I think he presents or has been has been framed as being sort of village idiot, ask at Barstool, but the truth is that he's he's quite wonderful to be around and also pretty damn smart to be honest with you. He grew up and he went to a French immersion school from like kindergarten through eighth grade. So he's completely fluent in French. So you're just, you know, having fun gabbing in French, which, you know, couple guys. Yeah, you know, French too. I do. Yeah. When they saw you hugging goodbye, I'm surprised that they didn't all think that you guys were just a gay couple. I think they thought we were brothers because I think that's what he told her initially and then he switched to cousins. And when he realized he'd made that mistake, he was like, I'm just going to walk by you. Yeah, we're just gay. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, he's talking in French at the Delta Lounge in America. Yeah. It was pretty gay. Yeah. That's amazing. He went to France with us. He when we went to France for the World Cup, when Caleb Buddha Ben and I went to France for the World Cup, he went as well and was like our translator and took us to like neighborhoods in France and different restaurants where like, like very like low key like non-tourist restaurants where we didn't speak a word of French. And he ordered everything for us. And it was a fucking incredible time. It's cool. That's really cool. Yeah. I also did that thing where he worked at the restaurant. Yeah. Like last year, he opened a restaurant. He's opened his own restaurant multiple times in France. No, in America. Oh, yeah, yeah. But he worked at a restaurant in France like a summer. I just made content in where is he in Avignon? I think he was in Avignon. He was in Avignon somewhere around there. Did you guys sing this song about the little boy going to Avignon? Avignon. Yeah, that's a classic song. All right. So no tragedy. No, my tragedy. We haven't even reached the tragedy. I'll be quick. I spent my whole weekend knowing that I had a Delta 1 bed to fly home on. Oh, no, that I was taking the red eye on Sunday night. By the way, I mean, I looked for ways to switch my flight because when I got to San Francisco, I flew into San Francisco and it was a three-hour drive in traffic with an Uber driver who by the way was from Afghanistan. His name was Najee. And what a guy he was. I sat up front with him. The two of us just drove three hours along the along Uber, California Highway through lots of traffic, through Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, maybe. Yeah, Santa Cruz. And you talked a whole time. Talked a lot of the time because he lives here for 10 months of the year. His whole family lives back in Afghanistan and he works as an electrician and a Uber driver and sends like $300, $500 home a month, which I guess puts his whole family in like the 1% of Afghanistan. They're like incredibly wealthy as a result of that. But he only sees his family two months of the year. He can't get them. He's a full citizen now. He can't get them over here because of Trump's ban on Afghanistan people. It does show how good Afghanistan's PR has gotten no. Like 20 years ago, you couldn't say you were from Afghanistan. No, no, no, they'd kill you. You couldn't just be bragging about being in Afghanistan. Like this is only got to be a couple of years where you could say Afghanistan. Yeah, he said that during the war, because he worked in the US Embassy as an electrician. Oh shit. And that he was always at risk from the Taliban killing him. Yeah, especially if you're at the embassy. Any sort of interaction with Americans was not good. Yeah, it's like Argo. You ever watch Argo? Yeah, I know these great movies, great movie. Great movie. So I had great hair on it. Interesting, different hair. Very Steve Jobs, Scare. Yeah, a little bowl cut. Yeah. So so you're you're riding with this guy from Afghanistan. Yeah, we stopped at a gas station. We got snacks. It was pretty cool. I enjoyed my time with him. But anyway, the point was that like that drive was so long that I was trying to figure out ways to get home by flying out of Monterey, which was only 15 minutes from Pebble Beach, but you'd have to connect. And I was supposed to be golf on Sunday. I thought I was going to be playing with some of the draftings like clients, but I ended up just being paired with a buddy of mine, Jake Adams, who's part of a country club adjacent. They do the like back off challenge stuff. Nice. I don't know. They're funny guys. They're both former comics. Oh, cool. And by the way, he plays for like a crazy amount of money. And we filmed for his channel. And I'm not going to give that away, but that should be cool. I played spyglass. But anyway, the point is that like finally I just gave in to the fact that I was going to have to get back to San Francisco to take the red eye on Sunday night. There was no other way home for me. So brutal. And I really prepared myself. I didn't really drink much of the weekend, but on Sunday during the match, and then I had we finished it like 1 p.m. and I had like five hours to kill before going back to San Francisco. So we were just drinking. Before the drive. Yeah. Hard. We were drinking hard. Yeah. Yeah. And are you thinking in the back of your head like this is a bad idea? No, I was like, I'm going to have a bed to sleep on, pass out, not going to feel great tomorrow, whatever. But it's fine. Not going to feel great anyway. Yeah. Yeah. So we get a ride. Draft King's awesome. They sort of out with a ride to back to the airport. The Draft King's people are awesome, by the way. I kind of want to work there. Oh, interesting. Doing what? Content? Whatever they need me for. That's a that's a place to work. Yeah, definitely. It seems like an awesome company to work. Yeah, probably. Really? Yeah. They're cool. They seem to be having a lot like that. Do they like to joke? Yeah. They're they're they're having a good time. Their job is cool. Now this is like the events people. So it looks sick. How do you get hired to be an events person at a company? Because those people look like it seems like their job is just to entertain being entertaining and entertaining clients. Just being able to mix it up, play golf with people, have a drink. That's nice. Yeah. That's kind of what it was. Yeah. It's hospitality is really what it is.

And November 22nd, 2026 at 1159 PM Eastern time. So anyway, um, I we get to the airport, you know, and I'm like. Gidey and like kind of coming out of being drunk. Go to the lounge, hang out with Donnie. Get on the flight. It's an 1140 PM flight, right? Sweet delta one seat. Get on the plane. Walk on and I look around. And I'm like, huh, these are not life flat bed seats. Oh, and I'm like, maybe maybe the captain's in the front. Maybe I need to have turned less. Just the cockpit. Just see the cockpit. And I'm looking around. And I'm like probably the third person on the plane. Yeah. And I'm looking around and the flight attendant goes, oh, did they not tell you? Yeah. No, we, um, we don't have the right plane. So the plane that was supposed to take us got lost. Yeah. Somewhere. Yeah. Permuted triangle. I don't know where. And what ended up coming was some fucking old warhorse. You got the tiny box. Some rickety piece of shit. Old plane. That has just regular first class chairs. Yeah. It's tough. First class chairs. And look, I knew that this would sound incredibly, it sounds bad, but if you're expecting the bed, and you get the chair, my whole weekend had been geared towards knowing like I didn't change flights and didn't do certain things based on the fact that I knew I could sleep coming into today. And instead, now instead of like lying flat, curled up, yeah, taking, you know, let me sleep gummy or whatever, I'm sitting upright. Yeah, with my neck just like fucking walling around waking up. God, yeah, just nightmare. When most civilians hear about getting the chair, they're thinking of the electric chair, getting the chair is getting a seat that you thought will be dealt to one that is actually. Yeah, I mean, I would have taken the chair at that point. I would have. And they were there were there were there were an aisle on well, there were, you know, seats on each side of the aisle. So it was laid out so you could have put them in. So it was just the older plane that they just had like the it was like a regional plane. Do you know what the plane was? No, I don't look that up. It says a 330, gotta be a 330, right? No, it's an a380, by the way. No, a380 is the big one. I'm saying a small version that would be like a 737. Is there a 330 and a 350? I thought it was 320. Oh, you're asleep. Is there a 330? There's a 330 to 350. I'm going to have to look into that. But this was not an A anything. This was B Boeing 737. You know, seeing had fucking props on on the wings. Did they? Anyway, so what was crazy to me was that they just like everyone was punting the blame. Yeah, yeah, of course. Everyone like like then the guy came out as we were starting to like taxi. And he was like by the different guy. And he was like, I know I was supposed to come by with like, you know, champagne pre pre cocktail drink for the first class. But I've had my hands full. And by the way, I don't really know what happened or why you guys weren't told that you wouldn't have your beds. Meanwhile, the guy to my right was pretty cool. And he clearly flies at all the time. Yeah, this happens one out of eight times when you fly specifically from San Francisco back to New York is that they like lose the plane. And you end up in one of these chairs instead of the bed. So I'm Silicon Valley COO was just doing fucking loop three loops in the sky just having the time of their life. I don't yeah, I don't know what it did to see your ticket with that beautiful purple hue. Oh, yeah, for the Delta one. And to be so excited that as soon as we take off, I'm pressing that button and sliding down to sweet, sweet, sweet, prone recline. Yeah, it's brilliant. All of a sudden being like, all right, this is the height of comfort right here. This is as far as I get to go. No footrest. By the way, the guy in front of me reclines his seat. That seat's touching my knees. This was a terrible point. And that's why I'm opening up my Venmo to take donations for Francis for the tough time that he went through. Yeah, please. We're going to raise a little bit of money. He had a tough time. I'm going to need to hire a fucking resume coach for my new job. Anyway, point is that you should have like just if you're the third guy on the plane and that happens, you should just stand at the door and say, Hey, no one else is getting on this plan. So we have beds, figure it out. Yeah, yeah, make these life flat. Was anyone else bitching? Was anyone else in the first class cabinet upset? People were pretty accepting. No one was mad. I don't know. No one said like, I think people were saying that to each other. By the way, one guy got on the plane and was walking back to coach and looked at us on. He goes, Oh, you guys don't get beds. You went from delta one to this and goes, that sucks. Was he fucking with you? No. He was being sincere. I mean, do you get like a refund if that happens? I think the guy to my right who again really knew his shit. He was like, we're going to get a credit of some kind, but you should then complain and you'll get even more. Yeah, because that's like a damn near $2,000 price difference. Correct. I wouldn't. Between bed and service. That's theft of service. That's over $2,000. That's grand theft. Oh, larceny. And now you got a lawsuit on your hands. Grand larceny. Yeah, because it's happened to everyone that's a class action. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You guys should all get in like a group chat together. I'm going to need everyone's number here. Yeah. What do they call that class action? Yeah. Anyway, so I remember I did sleep for like what I thought was four hours because the whole flight was only four hours and 45 minutes. And I woke up and I was like, Oh, okay, at least I slept. And I looked at the in flight tracker. I pulled that up. I had slept for 38 minutes. Yeah, that's the worst you were over Utah. And we still had, yeah, we still had four hours to go. And I'm like, Oh, no. Yeah. And you were just up. Pretty much. Oh, no. Yeah. And then I got back. I mean, you want to talk, this is where the tragedy really starts to unfold to is that just adding insult to injury. We land. And I get off the plane JFK. And I'm like, where am I? And I see the escalator at the end of the series of games, the end of the airport, which means I know that I am at the end of that beach terminal. Yeah. Yeah. There are miles and miles to go for a sleep jog. Yeah. So the two kids of the ground transportation, these woods are lovely, dark and deep. And I have miles to go before I sleep. And I mean, it was really it was gate B 54. Yeah. Yeah. No, I know exactly what escalator taught. It's the escalator down. It's the last. It's you are the at the end of the airport. Yeah. And you go up, you get up to the top of the escalator and you just see waves of people sprinting at you because you realize like they've totally underestimated how far far it is for them to go all the way. You know, I get to the fucking baggage claim. I checked my golf clubs and wait and wait and wait. The whole belt's empty. There's a bunch of guys doing construction on the oversized, odd-size baggage shoot. Yeah. So I'm like, I don't know if they're going to be putting shit out there. So I want finally I get up and I go talk to them. I'm like, are you guys allowing stuff through? And they're like, no, you got to go figure this out somewhere else. Then I go to the fucking desk. They come around. They look through this door and my bag has just been thrown into a hallway that requires a special access card and it's been sitting there for 25 minutes. Yeah. Keep in mind. Now I mean, it's I haven't slept. Yeah. I've been sitting there for like 45 minutes waiting for my bag. It's been sitting 10 feet from me. Yeah. And nobody knew. So they go get some the guy who built JFK. JFK. Yeah. John F. Kennedy. It's got a massive key. Yeah. And he comes out and he like fucking gets my bag. Then I get it. Then I go walk to my car. I get in my car. I plug in my it's 9.30 a.m. I plug in my home address hour and 15 minutes. It's not even like a Uber where you can just zone out. No, you have to drive. You have to sit in the traffic and make sure no one cuts you off. Yeah. I mean, it was it was like truly traffic where we would sit without moving on a highway for three minutes at a time. Yeah. Then you go 10 feet three minutes. Yeah. That's enough to make you go insane. Well, it's just I remember like being being told about this trip and they were like, yeah, do you want to do it? And I was like, yeah, okay, I'll do it. That sounds pretty cool. Never again. No, no, you don't do the West Coast now. Yeah. I was like, they were they said they were like, we were going to send Jerry, but Jerry doesn't do the West Coast. You're East Coast. Jerry. And I was like, West Coast. He doesn't do he's halfway there. He doesn't do the West Coast. I get it. I get it now. Yeah. You got to start saying, you don't you don't do the West Coast anymore. But do they it was a cool trip, man. I mean, Draft Kings does it up the they had they do it up. This was so sick. Like the the bag of merch that was in your room. Oh, what did they get? Oh my god. It what didn't they get? It was like the is a DK gear a bunch of that a bunch of Pebble Beach gear. A bunch of like face products and sprays and sunscreens full body deodorant. I'd never seen that before. Now I didn't know those are that's for your penis and balls. Yeah. When they say full body, it's not for the back of your knees. That's the one place I didn't put it. So yeah, I don't know. They had like a poster, a jigsaw puzzle, all this crazy stuff. Jigsaw. Yeah. What was it of Pebble Beach? How many pieces? Oh my god. Thousand. Oh my god. By the way, I'm completely lying. They did not have a jigsaw puzzle. I just I thought they did, but then I remember they didn't. It was just a standard puzzle. It was a brain teaser. It's going to be used on next season of surviving bar soul. I need you to hit a wall of the first hole. Anyway, so then they had Frank Calleando performing on Saturday night, which was really cool. He was great. Got up ripped it, super talented. And then they brought me PFT and Hank up with Frank Calleando for a fireside chat with all of part of my take and you was there. And Jeff. Donnie and not not big cat, though. God, it was Hank and PFT me and chef Donnie. So you and chef Donnie and the aggregate that graph came for saying equals a big cat. Well, they didn't even bring chef Donnie up for the fireside chat. Oh, man, really? Oh, so one for one, it was me and Frank Caliando and then the moderator. How is the fireside chat? It's odd because it's like Frank Caliando had just performed and crushed. And then he doesn't know who we are. He doesn't not really. I mean, he's done. That's not true. He's done pardon my take. So I think he knew who PFT maybe Hank were. But people are like, it's a Q and A. And they're asking Frank questions, but we all have microphones. So he's trying to like graciously share the space with us. Yeah. But he's doing it in the John Madden impression. Like, Frank, Frank, how'd you get your start? Well, you know, this that I don't know. I like comedy. Anyway, PFT, you laugh a lot. Like, what about you? What makes you tick? Yeah, that's tough. How long was it? Good for him though, the chat. The chat was probably 20, 20 minutes. It's not bad. That's lightweight. I got a pretty good laugh. Of course. I was like, yeah, I've been manning the long dry pole all day. It's been really fun telling all of you guys, wow, good shot. Big boy. That's going to run all the way out to 210. Way to keep it under the wind. Donnie's got a pretty good drive. Did you see it at all? We played together. He's got to play with me. He's got a pretty solid drive now. He's gotten solid. Yeah. Yeah. I remember, because I played with him years ago. And I remember the only thing he could do was drive. I would say his short game is better than his long game. Real point. Yeah. Oh, wow. How the table. Oh, Francis is saying he's got no drive. Francis said we can't hit the. That's what he was talking about hitting it to 10. Yeah. That was that was a nice way. I'm saying he's got no drive. Well, we did play a whole with one group. They asked us to join them and he was so nervous. Really? And he was topping the ball. And I was like, what's going on? None of this matters. And he goes, I don't know, we're at Pebble Beach. It's draft Kings. Like I'm fucking terrified, man. My God, all right. All good. Yeah. That was before his eight roaming coax. Yeah. The one thing that you mentioned that we glazed over, I had no idea. Sawgrass was so close to Pebble Beach. Spyglass. No, no, no, yes. Spyglass is part of the like collection of golf, do you so bad? Can't look at you. Part of the collection, of course, is out there. It's weird because people say that like, people will say that they think spyglass is better than Pebble. I don't know what those people are fucking smoking. It's people that can't get into Pebble. Correct. Holy shit. It's that spot on. Yup, yup, yup. I've seen it a million times. Yeah. Anyway, that's, that's all into Pebble. That's all I'm going to say on today's episode. That was nice. I just vomited everything. No, I mean, it was good. It was good. I'll let you take it from here. I honestly think like people are probably going to not sympathize with you for your first class situation. I think I would have handled it so much worse than that. I know you guys. I think I would have been on the verge of tears. No, I thought about that. I was like, this to Harry would be a calamity of tsunami purport. Yeah, yeah. It would have like, I would be still on the phone with Delta right now. I thought about it. I was like, you would have been texting us throughout the night. Oh, yeah. We would have known well before. And I was like, I'm not going to text them. Tell them about this because I, you know, we probably wouldn't be recording right now. We honestly, we would not be. No, no, no. I would be like, we have to do Tuesday. It's going to be a late episode. Yeah. Well, imagine if you had taken like your wife or one of your hos on a flight across the country. And you have fucking, you're like, this is your big moment. And you're like, I'm going to, oh, you won't believe it. It's going to be the chillest trip ever. Yeah. Like if it's a work trip, okay, whatever, you're suffering the indignation of a little bit less travel. But there's a work trip. If this was your splurge trip, like another credit isn't really going to make up for that. Not knowing too. Right. Yeah, they didn't tell us. Imagine it's the wave. Oh, turning that corner and seeing those. Oh, so it was, I was, I was like, surely, I'm playing your face drops. I'm sorry, I'm going to the left is really, I'm, uh, I'm flying Delta one. Um, what are these? This must be new technology. How do you guys? How do they do? The walls come out of the ground or excuse me. I've boarded the wrong plane. I don't know why. It's a homalone situation. I must have ran into a man in the airport. It appears there's been some grievous mistake because I am supposed to Francis. I mean, that would truly, I've heard stories of people, um, I remember someone telling me about a story where they, they had a Delta want or maybe it was, maybe it was just a regular first class seat, but their seat specifically was broken. Yeah. And they had to go sit in coach and then they bring you the meal while you're in coach, which at that point is just like, do I save it? I don't want it. Save that. Because now coach hates me. Yeah. Exactly. At least let me sit on the floor with the, by the way, this guy to my right was like laughing a little bit. He was like, by the way, if you think we have it bad, he goes are the, the way that the, the flight we were supposed to have was booked was that there were supposed to be like eight rows of Delta one. Yeah. And there were only four rows of first class, which meant that half of the Delta one cabin did get bumped to coach. Imagine, oh, if that had happened to you, I'm suing it. I mean, lawyers are getting involved. I wonder what I would have, I probably would have been like, I'm just going to get off and just rebook me tomorrow. Yeah. I'm going to take a drive. That's what you just sit in the airport for a couple hours and just think about it. Yeah. It's just six a.m. flight in the morning and we'll ask the guys to record in the evening or whatever when I get home because I'm not. If you guys ever like missed a flight or like, or like a flight got canceled or something, you're just so fucked that you just, you're just sitting in the airport like on, just don't even have a flight. You're just sitting there. I've had times in La Guardia where I've just sat there and just been like, I'm so unbelievably fucked right now. And there's nothing I can do. I have been gotten to that level of desolation. By the way, though, like I have so much pressure in the back of my skull right now. I mean, I, because the A330 isn't as pressurized as the 380, the 380 has airtight pressurization. Yeah. Yeah. Everything hurts. You're basically outside the plane. You're like snoopy in a cartoon. It's like your fucking scarf flapping behind you. I mean, a red eye is like, there's no winning on a red eye. No. I think it's actually worse than like recovering from like a, like a hangover or like being, like you feel like sick for like a week straight. Yeah. Yeah. Did you sleep at all today? I got home and I, by the time, the thanks to all the fucking traffic, by the time I got back, I had only, I slept for an hour and a half. So you're running off of no sleep. Yeah. I don't feel good. That's brutal. And I have a dentist appointment after this, which is why we went earlier rather than later. That would be an immediate cancel for me. Well, I've already, I already missed it last week. Remember? Oh, yeah, true. Is it again? No, I can't. I don't want to fall asleep in the chair. That's okay. That would be nice. It's not. Why not disrespectful to the dentist? Really? Snoring in their face. They said it happens all the time. You hear? Let's go. Open. Open up. You keep closing your mouth. You're grinding your teeth. You're just chewing the tools to dust. Even Chase says he falls asleep during haircuts, which I could never imagine. That's like I don't even know if my next strong little boy move, that's so insane. You're looking at yourself in the mirror. How do you fall asleep looking at yourself? I think when you're Asian, it's like less of a. They're already flying it. The gap? The gap to fall asleep is a little bit easier for them. They get to sleep faster. Can you guys hold it down for a second? I have to go to the bathroom. Of course. Of course, of course. Of course. Seth, you had your big show last night with Lev? Oh, yeah. Huge show. How was it? It was good. It was fun. There was some nasty, nasty rumors being spread about me after the show that I did not prove of. That you sit in the chair? I was kind of sitting. That I sat. Not even on a stool in a chair. Yeah. They said that I sat and I bombed, which none of those things were true, both of those were fake. It's okay if you did. No. I actually had a. It's okay if you sit. Not if you bombed. I did not bombed. That shit is not okay, bro. I definitely did not bombed. I actually had a decent set. Solid. I wouldn't say. I crushed. My clothes are crushed. That's for damn near applause break. New shit. No. But I definitely don't sit. What's the implication if you sit, why is it so bad to sit? It's not bad to sit. It's just kind of something that you don't do unless you're the guy that sits. Unless you're like. Unless you've earned that ability to. It's like leaning up a like the front of the 7-Eleven. Yeah. Like only a couple guys can do that. Yeah. Exactly. Like I'm just not one of those guys that can sit. So you can't start off sitting. No. No. It's also like a 10 minute set. I'm not going to sit down for a 10 minute set. What are people who sit do? Are they trying to project confidence? No, I mean, it is like a thing where people sit, like big J sits, you know, like a lot of people, there are people that sit, like, Chappelle will sit, but it's mostly like people, I think it kind of like caters to their style almost, like J's like so like casual, but like, it like comes off super casual, but he's like super quick and funny. So I don't know. But like for me, like, there would be, it would be insane if I was sitting down. It's not because he's heavy set, right? No, I don't think so. Got it. Do you think what do you think if I pretty much I did live show last night and then live started spreading rumors after the show that I sit, or that I was sitting on the stool during my set? Just for fun. Yeah, yeah, which I was like, I would, he said that and then he said, I bond and I was like, I would rather people think I bond and then think that I sit in the stool. There was a moment where people were doing that. Yeah, I mean, some people do, but I really feel like it's like dependent, like me sitting was sass of a hack. I did not when Chappelle does his hat. I know when Chappelle does that he, he's the one who's allowed to do it. Yeah, no, that's what I just said. Ron's that runs doing what Lev did. He's lying. Oh, they lied. I tried to tarnish my name. Yeah, good name. Yeah. Do you think that the first time that you sit on a stool, it's like a old guy who goes outside with a two pay? Oh, you're like, the world's going to see me differently. Yeah, definitely. It's got to be a big decision. I've never even they're going to see how relaxed. They're going to think of the pants. This guy's been doing this forever. He's always had stool. He's so tired of stand up that he can't. I need to be standing. I feel like I don't deliver my jokes well. Yeah, it's like leaning forward in your video games. Exactly. You didn't go to the bathroom at all. I didn't go to the bathroom because I have a really special surprise for present Monday. Hell yeah. This is a big, this is a big one. Let's see. What are we going to do? You guys know the routine. I promise you I'm not doing that. I hope it's a high noon because it's Monday. If it's a high noon, I'll be that that's all you need to give me. No, you guys got to close your eyes and put out your hands. I promise it's not the the toilet cat. Okay, close your eyes. Close them. If it's open, open them yet. Don't open them yet. Well, if it's living, open it yet. Don't open it yet. Can I thumb it? I'm feeling it. Okay, I don't know what it is. Okay. Open it. Open it. Holy shit. This is the entire collection. Oh my god. Delta airplane pilot trading cards. That is crazy. Where did you get these? Wow, it says they didn't believe that there was a A330. We just got a A330 card. Oh my god. Right next to the A321 Neo. I feel like Taylor LeWan right now. This is crazy. One of one A330. Oh my god. I just pulled the team USA. It's ripped some packs. This is I got I got a I got the A321 Game flown Jersey card that actually has a piece of the plane. It's got a piece of the black box. They found floating in the ocean. Wow. That's vintage. That's pretty good. Have you got made this joke before? But if you hold it up to your ear, you can actually hear the pilot saying goodbye to his wife. To make Donald Douglas. Have you have you have you got these graded? No, I just opened it. Oh, they just arrived. We got to get these in sleeves. These are I know. Does anyone get an A380 set? We have we all have the the whole thing. Remember, you were like, there's certain ones that are going to be worth hundreds or you get them all. Now we all have complete sets. I don't know how to have an A380. I think so whoever sold you these, they held out. They probably took all the A330s. They're working most. I have an A330s. A350. I have a bunch of A350s. I got to I got. Oh, yeah. I got four A350s. Do you have the team USA one? Yeah, I have the team USA one. The team USA ones by far the coolest. That's definitely a limited edition. I don't know if we can make Donald Douglas punch in on that a little bit. But there's some there's some refractors in here like the ones that have the sparkly the sparkly here. Look, look at this one like this one here. A321 has a sparkly. Yeah. I think that's probably what you flew yesterday. You think the 321. Again, you keep giving. I'm telling you it was a piece of shit seven something. 737 will be what I guess that it was. 737 is a fairly big plan. It's not it's no 777. No, of course not. Of course not. I believe the 777 is the longest passenger plane. Yeah, that would admit that would have made me sick. But thank you, Francis. We need to get these signed. So these are these are courtesy of you should you know what I'm going to do. I'm going to start giving these to the pilots. Oh, you should give them your own car. Yeah, you should give them your stand-up car to me. Let me just quickly shout out the awesome Delta pilot who hooked this up. This is a pilot shank Mitch shank. He's the man Delta pilot told me he wishes that he could pull some strings and get me 360 but unfortunately they have no power in that department. I believe him. Shout out to all the Delta pilots. You know, this is sick. Did you see Delta pilot recognize Minty and got a video with him or a picture with him this past weekend. Now imagine getting noticed by a pilot at the airport. Don't tell me that because that's totally sick. I'll use my experience. No, he got the whole back. Minty got some of the like the early the 90s cars from the Delta pilots. He is like throwbacks vintage. What number is your guy's team USA one? Is there a reason I didn't get the team USA? Hey, because you didn't get team USA. I've got card number 70. That's so embarrassing. It's the square one round. Oh, he's like I got card 79. I got card 63. Yeah, but mine isn't wait. I have card 79. Oh, hold on hold the phone. Wait, I have card 79. I have two team USAs. Did someone give us it? You have two squares? Yeah, you only have one. I think I only have one. Yeah. Yeah. But are these counterfeit? We all have the same number. These all have the same serial numbers. I think it'll be just card number 79. By the way, if Captain Mitchell Shank Captain Shank, what kind of operation are you running here, pilot? Got these forged. Imagine you printed these at home. Did you guys see the major trust issues? If there's a new prank that's going wild on the internet that people are going up to the pilot on the way out, being like, was that a first meeting? I saw that. Was it a first what landing, first officer landing? First officer landing. Is that a first officer landing? And whoever's there will either be like, it was. No, why? That's funny because I had a pilot recently who over the intercom told us that that was the first officer landing. I'm making me look fucking bad. This guy was a jokester. He was a jokester. He was very funny too. We got to start asking him. I guess so. I feel like that's a wild move to throw his boy under the bus like that. Well, it was a fine landing though. Oh, okay. Those who use gas in them. He's gas and that's good. Yeah, that is good. Yes. Yeah. Or it's the ultimate act of humility if it wasn't. And it was just the pilot being like, no, he did it. Yeah. Thank him. Get his card on the way out. I'm surrounded by good people. Yeah, one's really you. When you're really the MVP, any pilot time courage, you guys to do that move. You see me on a flight, pull that move or reverse card you with a Sasquatch limited edition and a Francis San Francisco rookie card. That's pretty damn good. This team USA one is so sick. You're putting way too much stress on the outsides of it and you're you smudge them up mightily. You need to handle them more carefully, Harry. You basically have no value left in your cards. Touch in the middle of the card. I mean, my team. My team USA one is way cooler than both of you don't even have one. So that's probably why you're being so nasty. I'm like grabbing a glass of wine by the stem like any other thought. Like, dude, you've never been here before and you look like a fucking fool. Maybe I'll try to give this one of my hurts guys. Say, hey, I got something for you. I'm a pilot with a wave that $500 fee. Or like when you're at a restaurant or someone takes care of your bags, they ask for a tip. Yeah. Like, I got something. I'll do you one better. Yeah, team USA. This is our version of Leo to Caprio and catch me if you can. The white card dresses up as a pilot as nine women on his arm. I was thinking, I was thinking of great Gatsby. My bad. Yeah, I was thinking of Gatsby New York. I was thinking of the white card of great Gatsby when he got to, you know, how he gets like, he like, they go to pull him over and he hasn't even stopped. He just waves the card and they all back off. Oh, yeah. That's what I was thinking. Okay. Oh, I'm fine with that. You should be able to get like an upgrade if you have one of these for you. I've traded it in person. Yeah, you really never get to trade in actual certificates anymore. No, Delta one. Does this change your mind? Now we're listening to laid out. That would have been such a nice gift. I know. Yeah. So that was a, that was my weekend. Still very nice, Frances. I'm looking forward to framing these or putting them in an album of some sort. Well, you can give them to your boys to chew on. Oh, they'll have a great time chewing on those. They'll soften those with corners up real nice. This is the teething exercise. I might get like the Logan, you know how like Logan Paul has like the chain with the team on card. I'm going to get that for that. That's the fun I want. Yeah, actually quite like a perfect 10 out of 10. Grading. Yeah, what's the company that does the gradings? P something. PSA. Yeah, it's a PSA rating. Yeah. I'm going to put some syrup in between these and serve these to my kids. - I love that. - I'm gonna give it to him like Ratatouille, just a dish. - Was he shuffling them before he got them? - Right, does he have a dad shuffling the lasagna? - Don't they have the band, like he was shuffling? - Well, he put a rubber band around them, which, that'll be the first thing PSA tells you not to do. (laughing) - Oh man. - So there's, it's not a picture of the actual pilot. 'Cause I always kinda pictured that it was that. I thought it was the picture of a pilot and then the plane next to it. - That would be cool. - That would make them even more valuable. I mean, they should be doing that. I would pay more for a Delta flight if they did that. Or I'd consider switching to another airline if they were making heroes out of their pilots. - That would be sick. Like if you had like the first, first officer on. - Yeah. - First pilot, what is it, first officer? - First mate. - First mate, flight attendant cards. - The poop deck. - Imagine you have like a hot flight attendant, you get her card. (laughing) Holy shit. Holy shit. A Jenny James. (laughing) I got a Jenny James original flight. (laughing) You got the gay black, gay black flight attendant card. - Oh, so okay. The A350 is the queen of Delta's fleet. Delta's most modern and efficient international wide body jet. Cutting edge aerodynamics, wing morphing technology, 25% more efficient and fuel burn operating costs. Yada yada, it's a leader in sustainability. But that means, if this is the queen, that means there must be a king. - They 380. It might be the 777 to be honest for Delta. - I mean, why would they give us this entire deck and not have a single 777? - I think they don't. - I don't know that they have an A380. - They go 777. - They might not. You might be right about that. But if they don't, then wouldn't it be the 777? Those are like the two big boys. They gotta have one of them. I like how it says like how many seats there are. This is pretty cool. - These are way cooler. We're gonna have to spend more time with these. - Dude, my engines on my A350H, two Rolls Royce Tren XWB's. - Isn't that amazing? - Oh my God. - Rolls Royce, after all these years, is still making the engines for these things? - It's crazy. - That's awesome. - 275 seats is kind of small though, no? For the queen? - I think the queen would hold a little bit more. - Yeah. - Hold a couple more souls. - I wonder what big Trump is. I wonder what he's flying on. - A380, is it? - No. - And what's the movie that they're taking off in Air Force One? Is it Independence Day? And like Air Force One has to like maneuver? - Oh, you had to get away from the exploding. It is Independence Day. That shot always was amazing, 'cause the fire's right on their tail. - I never seen it. - Do you think that the pilot of Air Force One can maneuver like that? - Definitely. - His plane is even maneuverable though? - Absolutely. - Have you ever seen, dude, you gotta watch those videos of like the air shows where people where they do commercial planes? Like the commercial planes can do everything that those like tiny fighter jet are not everything, obviously. But like, they can do like crazy shit. It's just like they don't, because there's people on it. Like I saw a video of someone taking off in A380 at an air show and he goes 90 degree angle straight up. Like those planes can do that. They just don't. So it wouldn't be comfortable for people in the plane. - That's like having a Lamborghini to be hitting eight Gs. Just take off for your red eye. - Or like having a Ferrari as a taxi. - Yeah. - Just like, you guys are going like a horse pace. Like they never, they never hit the, they never hit the nose. - No, they don't. - Sad. - No, they do not. No, they do not. - We gotta get one of those air shows. - Man, I was road raging hard last night driving. I don't know what it is, but like I just can't drive anymore. - Yeah, you should've always sucked at it. - No, I'm so good at it. - No, you're not. - Just why it's so frustrating. - It's like video games, honestly. - That's bad at it. - Would you mind not putting your stuff in my mind? - Oh my god. - That is actually so rude. - I'm so sorry. - Those are, it's a fresh gift. (all laughing) - Harry is using the gift as a footrest. - A foot coaster. - As a coaster. - I'll put it in shoes. - I put it right on the team USA one. - Surely this $3 table that we have should not have our feet on it. Let's use the gift. - You'll leave a ring from the Stan Smith. - I know. - The vintage Stan Smiths. - These things are taking any new shoes, bad. - Yeah, look at the bottom of them. - Can't afford them now that it hurts. Just took all my money. - Dogs are barking, it's just flaps open. - I'm gonna have to walk to La Guardia to get this. - Yeah. (all laughing) - I need that 500 back now. (all laughing) - It's like a hobo. I'm gonna have to ride a train to La Guardia. I followed a guy on TikTok that rides the trains like a hobo, like a modern day hobo. - Oh really? - Yeah. - The subways? - No, no. - Like a freight train. - Oh cool. I was wondered if that might be a good life. - It's not. - Definitely isn't. - Probably not. - Have you ever read, what is that book? - Hobo Johnson? - Lincoln Highway. - No. - 'Cause that's good. - It's by the dude that sings those songs that Bob Dylan used to play. - What do you got through? - What do you got through his book? - Did you ride the rails? - In the beginning of it, he's riding on the rails and it sounds fucking terrible. - Yeah. - It's just dust flying. - Yeah. - Everyone's faces the whole time. - Bugs. - You also got to consider your width of a bunch of other homeless dudes. So they all start fighting on the train, throwing shit at each other. Someone falls off. - You're basically in a holding cell. - Yeah. - Exactly. - Like the same level of people you can't leave. - I bet you could do it well now though. Like in a little bit more of a modern era. - Scott was a tick-tocker. Like he was like completely well put together. He was like talking through like the logic of everything that he was about to do when he was gonna go from one to another while it was doing certain things. He knew the ins and outs of the rails. He was a high-class doorway. - I love that. Get a little PlayStation set up going in there. (laughs) - Yeah. Play GTA. - Oh yeah. - It'd be sick to be playing GTA in the rails. - The new GTA looks insane. I don't know if you guys are like up to date with like the leaking in video games. It's like a big thing. So like this GTA 6 has been in development for 13 years. - Right. - And so they always gets leaked. They always have someone that leaks the game before it comes out. And they leaked it. And then they like, I saw a video of like a body cam of like people going to this dude's house and being like this random guy tweeted and was like GTA is gonna get leaked on this date. He would supposedly, he claims this was just all coincidence. He has no attachment to it whatsoever. But like people from rockstar games came to his house. Like they were like FBI agents. And like interrogated him in his front yard for video games. Isn't that fucking crazy? - Do they have the right to do that? Are they like, do they have like the jurisdiction that they gotta be out of their jurisdiction? - Yeah, I doubt it. - I don't think that you're living in the rockstar universe. - No, no. I mean, I doubt they like had like a warrant or anything, but I guess if he's willing to talk to them, they can, you know? - Yeah, what the fuck? - I also saw a video of Call of Duty did the same thing. They're going to like, cause cheating is such a big thing in video games. And there's like cheat developers. And they're going to the developers' houses and serving them like cease and desists. Imagine being a dude who like is just like, well, first of all, you gotta be a scumbag to do that in the first place. But imagine getting that knock on the door. - And it's rockstar games with earpieces like they're the secret service. Get the fuck out of here. - You have to feel pretty cool, I would think, in a way, because you're on their radar. You've earned the house call from your heroes. - I feel like you probably got to feel pretty like ashamed. - I don't know. - Probably not. Those guys probably make so much money. It's so fucking crazy though. How many people cheat in video games now? - You just be bad at the game. - Buddy, you just saw. - Like you're like, you're blaming cheating. You're just bad now. - Me? - Yeah, I don't know. - I don't know. - Yes, dude, you're not good at video games anymore. - I'm saying, that's what I just said. I said, no, you're bad like everyone else. You're saying that everyone cheats and it's like, it's not fair to you? - You guys have no idea what you're talking about. - You're saying there's no way for you to be good because the whole table is unfair. - Well, first of all, that's not a problem for me because I'm not in good enough lobbies to be playing against cheaters constantly. But in every game I've played, I've come across cheaters many, many times. It's just not like a super frequent thing for me. But if you're like a higher level player, the only people you play against are cheaters. Because they're the highest level. - Cheaters are? - Yes. - Or they're really good. What about the really good players, playing against really good players? - No, it's like very like, it's like off, it's blatant. Like they're spinning around rapidly in 360s, hitting every single shot. Like it's not like, it's like, there are like minor types of cheating, but there's also like the hardcore cheating. - I kind of get it. It's like playing madden on all rookie. You just, sometimes you play video games, you just want to get a win. But then just do that. Just play madden on all rookie, you know? Like play Call of Duty against bots. You can set up a bot lobby easily. If you want to like feel like you're, you're shitting on people. - Just set up a bot lobby. - You think Frances? - I think that if that's what you're going to do, if you're going to want to cheat, you should just do a bot lobby. - Exactly. It's actually a great point, which I said that first. - Frances, I do appreciate it. you said that that was very interesting. - Well, you know, I found it deep within the fumes of my stupor. - Yeah, I can't believe how did you eat anything in between this flight of yours? - You feel up, I just saw you actually crushed a smoothie. - And your body will thank you for that. - Yeah, that's a good treat for the organs. I love that. I had to wake up wraps personally too. - Damn. - How many cows is that? - I think they're about 310 each. - That's not bad. - This episode is brought to you by ZockDock.

The Orbis Recon. - That's one of my favorites. - It's like, apparently it's what they used to use to make the nicest rod now. So it's similar, but it's way cheaper. But I haven't been able to use it at all. I haven't been fishing at all really since Wyoming. - Yeah, we're thinking about getting a car. - I was thinking about getting a fucking a very small boat. Would you like to go in with me on that? - For what reason? - I don't know. But like the smallest boat you can get but parking it at like the Brooklyn Marino and just having it in Brooklyn and being able to take my boat out onto the East River and the Hudson, just going around New York. Wouldn't that be kind of nice? - That would be nice. - What do you think about that instead of a car? We all go in on a boat. - I don't know if I would want a boat for like here. - Yeah, but you could probably find a nook and cranny. You go out to Throgg's neck. There's probably a honey hole. - Yeah, but I would rather get a boat that I can put on like a trailer or something and take it to like a fresh water. - But being able to city bike over to your boat, boat you never need a car. - Yeah, city biking over to your boat that's in the Hudson and then getting fucking bodied by like a freight boat or whatever. - Or the beast. Have you seen the beast that rips up and down the East River? - I don't think so, please boat. - No, it's like a boat that you like that has like a smiley face of like a shark on the front of it and it like does like 180s and like you get, you're supposed to like splash up the East River water on you. It's like a wild ride. - That sounds great. - Get a splash by the beast while you're on your little dinghy up to Throgg's neck. - Get a splash by just a shit ton of chemicals and waste. - Yeah, you have your hair disintegrates. - Is it burning for anyone else? - Right, just get in on this boat with us. - I will. I had a friend who had a boat in a marina in the one that's in on the waterfront in Brooklyn. - Yeah, that's the one I want. - Yeah, and he told me, I don't think the slips were, the slips were not as expensive as I had thought they would be. I don't remember what it was, but they weren't that expensive. Effectively, you could get a boat, park it on one of those slips and then I presume sleep on your boat and not pay rent and that's your home. - Yes. - Interesting, is there any sort of tax breaks for living on a boat? I doubt it. - There's a guy, another TikTok that I follow. A guy who's like floating in like Tennessee down like a river or something like that and he doesn't pay any taxes to anybody. And the only rule is you have to like move every like 14 days or something like that. - Interesting. - And you just have to keep your little house boat floating down the river. - No boot on the boat. - You can't boot a boat. - Can't boot that up. You just float a little bit more down the river and he's like, he's also a TikToker. He can like film his little videos. He just, I think he paid $1,000 total for it and now he just floats down the river professionally. - What do they call a Foundering the Motor? Is it Foundering it? - What? - Were you fouling the motor? - What does that mean? - You know there's a legal like wailing boats that the government will stop and they'll throw nets in front of them so that they catch the propellers to fouling. - Yeah. - I've never seen that. Like strip a car. - Yeah. - Yeah, poaching boats and stuff like that. But that's what you're describing sounds like Huckleberry Finn. - Yeah, I'm just talking a bit of a Finn situation. - Guy living on a raft. But it's like a modernized version of a raft, you know? I think that it's kind of, you can live off the grid and pay nothing and not be a bum. - They're not even doing that though. These are all faked people that are making TikTok videos from their parents' boat. It's like I live on this thing and I float every 14 days. It's like, you know, he gets on the boat for an hour and films Facebook videos. - It's not a kid, it's like, oh, it's a old man. These are, it's not like a glamorous, well edited video. - It's like that kid that was doing those videos like where he was like, I live in the smallest apartment in New York City. I remember that kid. He came on the yak and everyone was like, this guy's a superstar. And it was a set that he was living on. - Yeah. - Inside of a 5,000 square foot studio. - Industry plant, like that girl. - I saw that. - Yeah, the girl who did the song. - Yeah, well, that girl came to the office. - She's not a fucking industry plant. - What do you mean, she's not an industry plant. - I was natively following her TikToks before this song came out. - Yeah, Ron's a big fan. Ron's got the call from her dad. (laughing) He's getting an extra M, extra M around Christmas. - You want a boat? I can sort that out. - Music, some meritocracy. Bro, you either like music or you don't. - Bro, it's clear that she's clearly an industry plant. ♪ Can't help but think about you ♪ - What's her name? - Stella Lefty. - Yeah. - She's got a fucking. Dude, I brought her up on, like, a year ago. - Yeah, I mean, that's fine. - She's not industry, bro. - But you're the only person that knows about her. - That's true at all. - And all of a sudden, she's like doing like T.D. Garden. - That's not true at all. I've realized that I've never heard that entire "Ella Langley" song. And it's trending to be the number five song that's ever been listened to by human beings. - Another industry plant? - No, she's not, bro. She came from the mud. She's poverty. - Industry plant. - Anyone who, anyone who all of the sudden becomes like an A-list celebrity overnight industry plant. - Just 'cause Don't you was an industry plant and she was your favorite. And you got the wool pulled over your eyes. - No. - You used to come in here being like, "My anxiety is somebody's watching me." - But that Stella lefty girl is literally the definition of an industry plant. - If she's literally-- - How is she? - What do you mean, how is she? Don't play stupid, just because you're a fan. You can be a fan of her music and also admit that she's an industry plant. - What does that mean that she has a label? - She came to bar stool immediately. I was like, that's all that I've never had. I had no idea who this person is. And all of a sudden, everyone at the company is like lining up to take photos with her. One was like a couple months ago. Tommy Smokes has taken photos with her. He doesn't know who she is. - Everybody knows who she is. Like just 'cause you're a fucking cosplaying as a 65 year old fucking retired PGA tour player, that doesn't mean that you have to fucking act like there's not people who listen to young music. - This is a bad argument. I actually feel bad. I don't even know if I want to take it any further because I think you're gonna get like you're wrong. I think you're wrong. I think you know it too. - That she's an industry plant? - Yeah, but I, I independently like to like industry plants. - I mean, yeah. - What can you tell me what an industry plant is? - It's someone that no one knows about and then all of a sudden has a stadium tour booked. - Because what? Why? - Like Michael Jackson, like industry plant. - Michael Jackson was like the most talented guy ever. - Oh, just like Stella left. (laughing) - He's getting paid. You must be getting paid for this. - Is the idea that they break and you off a piece. - That the powers that be decide - Her dad is the founder of Grubhub, or of a group on. - Group on? - So you're accused of a group on? - 3.6 billion. - A nepo, baby. - Noted star discovering company. - Exactly. All of the biggest artists have come from Groupon. Because they're gonna use Groupons to get tickets to our shows. So I won get 700. (laughing) - No, but like, like she has not really, she is what one popular song popular. - She had at least three before that. ♪ We'll be slow dancing with the lights down low ♪ ♪ That was a bop ♪ ♪ She had can't help but think about you ♪ ♪ And then she had fun ♪ ♪ 'Cause you don't listen to music ♪ - I listen to music all the time. - I listen to like the spoken word. (laughing) - No, no, no, no. - Your favorite podcast. - No, I listen to a lot of them. - You're a spoken word guy. - I listen to a ton of music, and she's never come up on anything of mine. - You're listening, 'cause you listen to Bloodhound gang. - Like she apparently, she plagiarized her biggest song from Noah Kahn. She like stole his song. And then she claimed that she had, she doesn't even like think she was like, "I never even thought about that song." And then people found there's like 17 TikToks of her singing that song. This is the side you're on plagiarism that she had the same chord progression as him. It's the same song. There's like, listen to the song, it's the same exact song. Sing them. Bro, I'm a, this is a Noah podcast, by the way. Of course, Noah, it's a sound like he's got, Noah gets paid off that song. He's a writing credit because that he was either that or she was going to get go to jail. He was never going to go to jail. She's never going to go to jail. If somebody's, if you, someone makes music and it's good, that's not being an industry plant. You could say she got, she's nepo because she had the way to pay for the best studios and people like to collaborate with her. You can't get a tour, the size of the tour that she does booked without the entire industry backing you. It's not possible. If you're famous on TikTok, fucking executive who like writes their meal plans via chat GPT will instantly give you a tour. No, it's, you have to have a ton of new actions in the industry. If I were to start, like, if I wanted to all of a sudden just book an arena tour, I literally cannot do that because I can't call. We're not so lefty, bro. Let's book MSG because you're not still a lefty. Is that because your dad didn't work hard enough? I guess. Yeah, because you never, well, if you're dad, you're not famous enough to be doing no one knows who she is. You don't know who she is. No one knows who she is. There's comics that have stadium tours that like most people who watch TikTok don't know about. But they have, they are selling tickets and they've already proved that they can sell tickets. She has proven that she cannot sell tickets. She hasn't, I've seen shows of her where she's sitting at like a children's baseball feast. This cannot be true. I promise you're talking about how you've like investigated the empty seat capacity of her shows. I've done that for everyone. I know you do that, but I don't think you did it for Stella. I don't think you did it for Stella. I think this is just a new thing, you're going to actually take Ron's side here, which I understand. No, I'm actually not. I'm in the middle on this one. Frankly, I'm tired to actually be part of this one. Ron's typically the one that's right here. I'm right in this scenario. He's so unbelievable. You just have a terminally all right. It's actually like it's hard to have the conversation right now. You have like the, the, you're echoing the echo chamber. So you saw someone write this about her and you're regurgitated. I was saying, I was saying this way before anyone was saying, I was saying it before she was famous that she was a famous office. I was saying it. I was like, because I was like, who is this person? And then I looked her up. I'm see, because there's, there's videos of like everyone at the office being like, they're like, oh my God. And I'm like, did she has a top five song? The video, the video, the video of the people in the office meeting her came off. Like, they were like, like, I mean, you can tell us the, I mean, I know you probably sound like an NDA or something, so you probably can't get too into it. But you're clearly getting a percentage of the tour. Dude, I just thought it would be a good idea for her to capitalize while the TikTok audience was still right. Exactly. Yeah. Why do you hit her so much? I don't. I don't hit her at all. He just has an idea of like what nepotism is. And it's like, yes, I agree that you shouldn't be like gifted the CEO of the company. If you're a fail son, who just is like being propped up in front, but like people who started listening to her music online, they didn't find out until later that her dad is this famous guy. So it's like, if you like somebody's song, that doesn't have anything to do with who their parent is. So did you listen to Magnus Ferrell song? Will Ferrell's son? No. No. Is his musical out to be good or? No. Is he quite, is he's a musician? Yeah. He is good music. He also came into martial offices. Yeah. Oh, cool. Yeah, this is. But that's cool. I mean, that's a cool thing to know is that Will Ferrell's son. He makes like Robin Thick style music. I like sexy and like, uh, I know you walled it. Yeah. It's just like that. 17 million monthly listeners. And it's like unless you came from the slums of Mumbai, Sass isn't going to fuck with your music. What? Spotify. For who? Stella Lefty. And you think that's manufactured? Or do you think that they sold the tour based off the realistic listeners? I think they got, I think it's like you open like Stella Lefty's living room and it's got one of those servers where there's like seven million phones, a click farm, seven million phones. Just playing the song on repeat on five X, like Indian dudes with like a bunch of mattresses behind. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know someone at all. Like you've never even heard this person's name. I don't know. Shit, man. And they're one of the top listened to hurt people on all of Spotify. Like that's up there with like Ed Sheeran. She's popular this summer. You're like, you're finding out for the first time that new music comes out. I, I know, I listen to music and I keep up with the new music. And this is, this is out. It's just like when Chapel Rhone, all of a sudden she's headlining the biggest concert of all time. And it's like, where did this person even come from? Do you think she's an industry plant? Oh, yeah. But I think Chapel Rhone's really talented. She is. Then I don't entirely understand your point here. You're saying that industry plants, I mean like anybody that has a label backing and is pushed as an industry plant by his, he's like, he's like a in sync with industry plants. Not because like everybody to love them. I'm just saying, I don't think it's possible to get to the place that some of these people get without the backing of like the titans of the industry. So let me ask you this, one direction was formed by Simon Cowell, when all those guys separately auditioned or whatever for fucking the X factor or Britain's got town or some shit. And he was like, okay, well, individually, they're not that great. But I'm going to put them all in a band together and they became one of the biggest bands in the world. Is that industry plant? Yes. Don't tell me jelly rolls and industry plant our brother jelly roll. Don't make me say it. Don't. Bro, wait, wait, wait, yes. And dude, will we have you in 4k parlaying with jelly rolls? I like jelly rolls. A great guy. But you're saying he's industry plant now because that's someone you said was your brother and he's through your head back laughing with him. And I was my brother. I did throw my head back laughing with him. Had a great time. Much respect to jelly roll, but you don't, it's not like you just randomly become the guy that's hosting every single or like show and you're at every single thing or someone just get someone's someone's making the call saying we need jelly roll here. Is it not possible because I'm asking this because it's something that I've seen where someone realizes that a new hot name has done something that's popped. And then all of a sudden, everyone wants to like capture that too for their own benefit. No, then that is what it is. But that's not that's not necessarily like we're going to keep featuring this person in order to push them forward. It's we're going to feature this person for our own benefit. SAS can't differentiate between someone being marketable and being an industry plant. Correct. That seems like what you are there is there's no difference conflating. I think everyone is an industry plant to an extent. Well, what if someone shows out a comedy stadium or what if this one sells out a football stadium doing comedy? Of course not. Trying to get me to talk bad about my brother Shane. I never will. Well, I'm just trying to see where the line is. I can tell you from the mud. He was eating. He was yelling in it. He was yelling outside fucking freestyle and then he left. He wasn't eating beans like Shane was jelly roll was eating beans. So is jelly roll jelly roll was I can tell you definitively that I am not an industry plant because I should have been right yeah, yeah, and nobody has pushed me forward. It's almost it's almost sad to me that I feel like I could have been and then they were like, no, he's not good enough. It's tough. It happened. Look, it happens. You know, at least you're not an attempted industry plant that failed. You know, right. You got recalled. Yeah. Yeah, they never pushed me for it. But the still a lefty thing like I just feel like there's way more that happens and goes into it than like people think like maybe more than I think like I think it's just weird when no one is talking about this person. No one knows who they are. All of a sudden, Ron brings them into bar stool and did you and then added nowhere. Her people did say I was the first person to talk about her in a podcast. And then I didn't know where it's like you can't go anywhere without seeing this person. It to me, it seems like the money just went through like the investment was just put into place. It's almost an a piece of like insider trading. Yeah. And I think like, I mean, I think it involves clip farms or are you guys aware of these clip farm things? They're just talking about one. Yeah, but this is like an actual thing that like regular people do and pay for. Of course. Hey, and they and they have a they have like seven million accounts and they just start clipping all of your shit and posting on all of these. I don't know if it's clip farm, but I saw that the dude Dan Rappaport who used to do a golf at bar stool has more followers than Dave now. Oh, yeah. You think he got bothered. Oh, he got bothered. Yeah. So what's that? That happens on Twitter. I don't know why I don't know why people do it, but people randomly just get like a million bot followers. Oh, yeah. Well, Lord, please bought me. Well, there's no benefit. And if anything, it probably kills your engagement. What do you mean that Numbi being high, bro? That's all people. That's what they sell the ads against. That's true. He could probably get a world tour right now. Yeah, he probably good. What a sell. That's he just got bought it. Probably good. What if she just got bought it? Are you going to blame her then? Yeah. No, I wouldn't. I'm just I just I'm curious like there's a lot of artists out there who have these massive massive stadium tours And it's like I don't know a single person who listens to the music or is going to the shows You're this is like like the like the music do you get a call like to someone like it is it like am I the only one not getting the call Like hey, you're going to the Stella lefty show. We're paying you $10,000 to be there Are you talking to me? I'm talking around Ron Ron's had enough love no, I'm here for it But like he's waving the white flag let's go through the stand of comics that have done like arenas this year Okay, and I'll see how many of them like I'll tell you which ones are plants and which ones aren't The thing is I don't really think comedy is really like are they industry planting? I know someone that you would say as an industry plant in comedy. I know for a fact you would say this person is I've got a couple The impractical jokers now they came from the group from the roots the roots of comedy That's a staple Ali Wong now She's doing arenas. I feel like it's been around forever. Okay. I mean, I don't oh she was from she was from beef That's this lady from beef. She's great. Yeah, she's great heard her first couple specials were very good Yeah, I mean, I know more about sell it. So I left you then alley Wong, but alley Wong's been doing comedy for like 400 years It's a lefty street play cell left. He started making music two weeks ago first Doing comedy forever you go to like a fucking funny bone in in Hartford, Connecticut And there's a picture of him on the wall when he looks Unrecognizable to who he is now Which means he was there like 40 years earlier. Tell it like how long has cell after been making music She's like 22. So not long at all. She's young. How do you naturally get? From I don't make music at all to I'm now doing stadiums a year later with zero support But isn't this just like a phenomenon that we love in show business is like discovering the unknown and then elevating them overnight overnight success It's overnight success. Why does that have to have you're the only to me the only thing that's like suspicious here for you is that this woman This girl has a billionaire father and you're saying because of that it excludes her from being able to to be a musician I'm not saying it excludes her from being a musician. She can be a musician if she'd like same way that James don't But usually you see people like put more years into their craft or their effort or put more effort into it because she didn't do my stadiums but because she wasn't downstairs because she didn't do live show. She's fucking I don't think that's how it works in music. I Think I think like kid musicians. I mean Hanson. Do you remember the band Hanson never even heard of it Bob? No. Oh, but I mean to his Definition industry plant to a lot of people growing up. It's like oh you got signed by you got signed So that means they're gonna throw some gasoline on you and you blow up I mean a lot of people will probably say go into barstool as industry plant Like oh little sasquatch this guy from the internet that nobody's ever heard of I had 400,000 followers before I got hired. Yeah, but you probably got bought it like this is like That's just disrespect. You're just now. That's just disrespect. Well, you're disrespecting rap before look Let's be honest. I know your dad owns the entire Minneapolis airport So don't try to tell me that you're not a plant. By the way, like the Jonas brothers And my point is that these were kids that were like talented musicians and they were jamming and doing shit And then like some fucking talent scout from an agency saw them Signed them and then put money behind them and gave them proper studio hours and like a good, you know, fucking engineer Like Olivia Rodrigo Would you say she's an industry plant? She's so talented Hold the phone her voice is amazing. Oh, you're coming off anti-women, bro This is very anti-women. I don't think this is anti-women This is just I'm speaking about the state of the industry. You're like young women suck But no, would you say Olivia Rodrigo's an industry plant? I think she's talented But is she an industry? I'm not saying she's not talented. I'm saying is she an industry plant. I don't think she's an industry plant She's multiple good albums. So it's like I don't think she's necessary And I don't mean to throw smoke at worst. She may not be writing her own songs But that to me doesn't that's true so many musicians I think that we have maybe have different definitions of industry plant. And then that's that's the crux of this issue Moments that might be Yeah, I just feel like if you're like an actor and then all of a sudden you're a musician It seems like to me they were like okay, the acting is not working out. Let's throw Completely you're pivoting your argument now. That's a totally different take Honestly, like a lot of people online are saying that she's an industry plant But you've done such a bad job. I have defending it That it's like she's kind of off the hook. I know because she's now she's sat next to all these other people terrible argument for me I don't know what has soon as we started talking about it. I just like my brain went into a fog Like trying to think of all my reasonings and I just can't Defend the position that she hasn't even been making music that long I got nothing Because I've been I've been honing my argument against this It can seem like you were way more prepared for this because I've thought about I've thought about lefty I've thought about this conversation. I've been wanting to have the conversation. Oh my god Can I tell you guys a quick funny story? Actually, you know what? Oh, I want to just not do that in case we want to keep talking about this Oh, no, no, no, no, I actually I was probably ready for story. I'm I waved to the white flag Yeah, I was waiting for my admitted failure. She's she's came from hard work And I now will admit that they gave me a three percent of her future earnings on the next two albums If I pump her on They gave you something For sure a little sprinkle on top. Yeah, a little powdered sugar Lifetime of free group ons Why are you going to another group yoga class? Why a wine tastier? Cohen softball Actually, I don't even really know what group on is it's like if you go to like disney land you can get like so it's coupons pretty much for group for groups Activities. Yeah. Well, I should have put that together myself The buy one set buy one get 700 was my peak of that argument. That was fun. Everything else was there's a catastrophe Yeah, you should have changed the subject right then. I like that. All right, so I do into dark waters. Yeah, I have a very dear friend I think I've spoken about him before One of my close closest friends. He's a brilliant guy But has no Well, I don't I don't really know how to put it. He tends to make Mistakes on a human level that sort of give evidence of maybe a lack of exposure to some degree to like things in life And he said urban what's that was a gerbon? No, no, but but that's a good calm meant meant no god no So you're playing golf with mints My buddy texted our group chat and he goes I have something to tell you guys and you can only make front of me for it tonight After that it has to be done. We were all like, okay, awesome. Yes. What is this going to be? And he goes so we are moving offices I have a water bottle that is not see-through and I opened it up and noticed that there was what looked like some dirt In on the inside and it turns out it was filled with mold I've been drinking out of it for four years He goes I didn't it didn't even occur to me that you had to wash it. Yeah, I thought the water washed it And he goes I genuinely think this has been the reason that like I've been getting sick Oh, yeah, affecting my life and all of this He's been drinking out of the same water bottle with that which holds He doesn't like open the top and let it dry out for four years filled with mold that's brutal Backwashing into the same water bottle like that bacteria is him that's from him It's not from the water. I know from his fucking mouth and fucking the other shit He's eaten in his germs that's brutal that that happened to bow. He did the same thing not four years though four years I mean there must have been a lot of moles Boy the water from our coolers got this weird Well, I don't know anymore feeling just feverish after the drinking water That is fucking brutal and there's no one he can blame or sue It's not like a class actually now soot or you'd mold in your apartment building like you're just gonna have to eat it It's so funny to me because his reasoning does make sense. Yeah, you wouldn't think You're like why would I and he's like it never occurred to me that I would ever need to wash this. Yeah, it's just water I mean what like How often are you supposed to clean a water bottle every couple of weeks? Yeah, maybe maybe once a week Just throwing the dishwasher. Yeah. Yeah, I guess that would make sense or I guess when you start seeing mold It's probably a good time to start cleaning it. Was it metal? Uh, I don't know. I don't know like a Stanley those metal Yeah, yeah, do you guys have your water bottle now like a go-to water bottle my body armor I do but then I lose them constantly some people have it. I mean girls Love to have a fucking water bottle. Yeah, I feel like mold. Yeah, but they there's like trendy ones to get, it's like an accessory for them. It's like a purse. No, stand up. I mean, there's been like the Audwala, there's been like a bunch of iterations since the Stanley, the fact you said Stanley, that's like being like supreme is the best brand. You're stuck in 2016, brother. Stanley is the industry plan of Waterbond. Yes, it's an industry like where does Stanley come from? Who is Stanley? Who's Stanley's touch? I'm not as in touch with the female teen cultures around. (laughing) We listening to Stella Lefty and we were pink on Thursday. No one is using Stanley's anymore, all over that. (laughing) We're back to Hydroflas. Oh, that's what I was thinking of was the Hydroflas. Okay. Not even Stanley. Not even Stanley. That's like, right, it's an outdated reference to you. You know, you know, who is Stanley, it's Stanley Lefty's? (laughing) Stella Lefty's dad is Stanley Lefty's. Stanley Lefty. (laughing) Of Stanley and Brupon. We met at the left-handed cup. (laughing) It hadn't existed before. Yeah, but I mean, have you ever cleaned a dog bowl out after they've used it for a week? That's gross. And it smells. I guess a dog's tongue is grosser, but there's like a slickness. Yeah, there's also like a film over it. There's like water left in it. Yeah. By the way, you said the dog's tongue is grosser. Every dog owner will be like, well, actually, dogs, mouths are supposed to be much cleaner than humans. And I always know that those are the people who are constantly like open mouth kissing their dogs. Definitely. Justifying. I hate that. (laughing) When people do that. When the dog's tongue is in the mouth. Not, I mean, that's fucking insane. I think there's no beat around that. But I hate even when people that are like, like, the dog's just like a lick in their face, like crazy. I get it. I do understand it. It doesn't sound like you do. But it's a little much. You do it. I've done it before. You do it. And then you throw on some still lefty in the back. Can't help but thinking about you. The, I mean, I don't, I'll like try to go past my dog's face and give them a hug. Yeah, yeah. But if they give me a lick on the face, I'm not, I also know that that's like damaging for the dog's psyche. If you push them away when they give you the lick on the face. Oh, yeah. I mean, there's nothing wrong with, you know, if you get a lick, I'm not saying you got to start. You got to shove the dog across the room. Paul, yeah, get the fuck off of me, bro. Fucking gross. But you know, I don't like that. I'm talking about the people that sit in it. Do, uh, did you ever open mouth kiss your dog? I think it's like, I would let Ruby lick my face. And then sometimes I'd be laughing and she'd get the tongue. And I'd be like, oh, I didn't, I wouldn't want it to continue. You're, you're cold, no, you're a cold cold old man. No, no, you are. No, I don't like the, the music the kids are listening to. Don't let me run it all kiss me. I'm running a little cold today after this whole hurt situation. This is the hottest I've ever been. Yeah, it's really fucking odd here. I have to go to my dentist appointment. You guys can keep podcasting if you want, but I can't miss it for the second week in a row. No, I think we're well over time. Oh, shit. Oh, god, dude. Yeah, fuck out of here. Jesus Christ. Yeah, all right. Thanks everybody. All right, we will be back on Thursday. Goodbye.
