Phil joins Matt and Shane for a casual conversation covering personal stories from rural Pennsylvania childhood, dating app experiences, line dancing, sports injuries, and reflections on fame and family dynamics. The episode features extended tangents about childhood pets, Thanksgiving traditions, and various sports anecdotes.
Insights
- Online dating dynamics have shifted significantly - apps that yielded zero matches years ago now generate dates due to increased familiarity with comedians through content platforms
- Small-town celebrity status creates unique social dynamics where fans expect accessibility and engagement, requiring boundary management in casual settings
- Shared traumatic or embarrassing sports moments create lasting psychological impact that resurfaces years later, even in low-stakes contexts
- Family communication patterns around sensitive topics (sex, drinking) significantly influence how individuals navigate adult relationships and social situations
- Physical transformation during adolescence (growth spurts, puberty) can create lasting confidence issues that persist into adulthood despite eventual positive outcomes
Trends
Dating app fatigue and the shift toward in-person social venues (line dancing bars) as alternative meeting spacesIncreased transparency around mental health and substance use patterns in casual social discourseSports fandom becoming more parasocial as fans develop personal connections with athletes through media exposureNostalgia-driven content consumption focusing on rural/working-class American childhood experiencesGrowing acceptance of discussing unconventional wellness practices (stem cells, cortisone injections) in mainstream conversation

Wow, wow, Wes. Darling you. Check. Send me. Check. Check. I know you. Yeah. Yeah. You nervous. You're singing. You nervous. Get your breath. You all right? Yeah, I'm fine. All right. Yeah, we're rocking the roll. I mean, this, this, is it recording? Yeah. I'm already mad. Why? This coffee is three hours old. It's from Wes Chester. He doesn't, this is what he does. Yeah, yeah. Which is good. We'll go to a bar, a whole order wings. We'll eat three wings and then have a plate of wings in front of him for three more hours till the game's over. And then they come by and they go, do you want us to take this? And he's like, yeah. Fucking insane. A lot of times I'll finish it. This was a situation I was my, my leg. Even this, it's like a coffee takes two sips and then brings it to Harrisburg. Well, someone was, someone got me the coffee. Just drink the fucking coffee. I wasn't ready for it. Phil, how are you? We're here alive with Phil. Get a fill. You got talking to the mic? I'm doing great. I need you to get nervous when that light came on. I didn't even see the light. Some guys aren't built for this. Yeah. I'm casting tough. It is tough. I've seen it. It's hard work. You got to know how you do it. Yeah. Well, you're sitting next to the, the mayor of Westchester. I know the king. I'm honored. I'm, you know, did you want to bring in the hats? Did you have hats? Well, I forgot. Oh, you forgot the whole thing. You're going to dress up like pilgrims and Indians for Thanksgiving. It was a, I agree. I agree. I was fully against it. Fine. Then I realized Phil wearing a pilgrimage. What do you do for Easter? I got bombing from party outfits. People asked me how I got my comedy. Phil told me how to bomb regularly. But you can walk through a bomb. That's like one of your, you tell a bad joke and just go. So hilarious. He is. Yeah. What was the line that he had when we were in the golf tournament with Billy, where he was saying Billy was like, it's because you were talking in my back swing. Yeah. And Billy's back swing. Really, really. Billy goes, you're talking to my back swing, Phil. Phil goes, I'd have to be a fucking auctioneer. Oh my God. He swings so hard. And the results are never any good. Yeah. He's new to golf. I know. Yeah. I know. When he connects, he kills it. But we're not sure where it's going, right? Yeah. Well, he's jacked. Of course, the first, the first couple of holes, Gerbys didn't know we were playing the scramble. So all of a sudden, he grew up and played his ball. And then we'd all drive up. And he's like, look at that. It's like, what are you hitting from here for? This is my shot. Of course, we didn't have to hit after he hit because it was all right. It's right on the green. He's a very good golf. He took the game very seriously a couple card bumps at the end. I hate card bumps. He was in there with you just going, don't, don't do. He got out. He got out of the cart. You saw it. It just turned straight for him. Oh, yeah. I asked about all the card. I can't say anything. Last thing you want to do is get out of the car. We were all so we were starting to find it at the end. We were starting to find it. It was the whole 18th. Yeah. And we were starting to find it. It was crunch time. And that's what I found. It was perfect. It was just a nightmare. No, the ride to the Valkyrie started playing. Yeah. I think it was around 16th. Valkyrie played on the Bluetooth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think I found out he was playing on the Bluetooth chasing group. You had to Dan O'Leary in the car with him. Yeah. I might have been by myself at that point. O'Leary could have been in there. Regardless. Yeah. Six hours. I do around a call. Yeah. Just trying to finish strong. You came in. Well, yeah. I'm sorry about that, Steve. I didn't. I felt bad when you were very upset. It's perfectly fine. I'm sorry. All right. My mom noticed. Your mom noticed? Yeah. She was like, hey, aren't you going to come say hello to all the people here? And you're like, nope. I have to go. Yeah. No. Yes. No, that's not really for me. Well, it's the killer. It's the killer style. You guys, nobody can leave. Every time you try and go, you know, just, well, just what are you? Just. One more. Yeah, exactly. It's like, you just got to leave. And in the next day, go, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I left. Sorry. She, your mom was on me on Instagram message, because she was like, promise you'll come up. I'm, Deh, what the fuck? Here we DM sometimes. Oh, my God. You're wife, she's DM's. How do you do that? Well, how do I do? How do you do that? You know how to DM. You DM me. You send me, you know, that's called, like a direct message. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Instagram, it's very nice. Okay. What, what kind of stuff is he sending? It was like, drinking Instagram, which was really funny, but then I'll, I'll clearly be drunk and send me like an inspirational one. Nice. Which is nice. Keep you on track. That's how, yeah. We don't really talk much. I just get a drunk. Yeah, from my dad. It's like Michael Jordan highlights. That'll get you. I toss those out this weekend. Yeah, you were hitting me with this. Yeah, well, you know, you got to find inspiration during dark times. It's for him. The bar is closed. Fuck it. Yeah. Listen up. Huh? Well, that means you. Yes, you. We know you're pointing at yourself. When it comes to party power games, we've got a place made for all sorts. From the experts to the drama queens. It's made the JC. The finance bros.

I don't know. But Phil, what's going on, man? Just starting our basketball season right now. I think you're going to get fired. No, I can't get fired. I'm volunteer. I can't get fired. Other people have to go before they get to all these. Come on, man. Huh? You're going to fire that? No, I mean, there's too many rings. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff up there that we've been on. Too many championships. Yeah. Yeah. What's that five gold medals up there? Well, um, two of Trinity, three with. No, I got three with Cumberland Valley. And one with Trinity as far as state titles. And that's again, just coaching, helping coach kids. Believe me, it's all the kids in the head coach. I mean, just coach speak. You're just a humble guy. I am. I want everyone to know behind closed doors. This guy's a man. And the Mike's office going on those motherfuckers with nothing without me. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. Now it takes good kids to win for sure. They make you look smart. Yeah. Well, what's the hope for this year? Do you think you got a championship? Well, we, we've, no, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to have to work for everything. Yeah. Got a great group of girls, but, um, we, you know, there was a couple kids that were going to come out that played for us. And now we're going to stick with another sport. So they're not going to play basketball. And that hurts us a little bit. But, uh, the kids that we have, we're going to go with enough. And they're great. Well, this is good stuff. Why? Well, I'm sure we got a lot of 6A girls, B ball. Now with the number one women's 6A basketball podcast. Yeah. District three girls. This is good. This is good. Trust count. You talk about this. It's a little press conference. Sure. Phil, now, what do you say those people that, uh, found out your dad killed a bunch of cats? Kind of question. That. So what do you have? What are the Costa Ricans think about this? No, we had a little press conference. Yeah. So, uh, to answer his question about cats. When I was growing up, we lived out in a rural area and, uh, talk to Steve and us. We had, uh, you know, we had a few cats and they all got pregnant at the same time. So we had, what did you do? Like 25 kittens running around and there was just too many and my dad put them in a box, a cardboard box and put them in the creek and they went down over the dam. And about three hours later, about five or six of them came walking back and he said, okay, you can stay. That was it. The other one's never made it back. Where they said, we're not going back. Even though they survived the creek and the dam. But just the five dumbest kids. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, let's come back. Maybe I'll do it again. But these, they were like, they were like, the horse was stepping on them and the way all the horse stepped on one kitten. One time I started to lawn mower and the kitten crawled under them lawn mower. One more why I went to get gas because it was hot in the summer and he thought that was the nice shade place. I didn't know he was under there. Yeah, I started to lawn mower. And dad getting rid of them was, it was time. They were everywhere. They were a lot of cats. A lot of cats. Just 30 cats. We had a lot of cats. We had dogs. We had Shetland pony. Oh, nice. I didn't know you had a Shetland pony. Yeah. What is a Shetland pony? It's a little adorable town pony. Yeah. What happened there? What happened there? We sold him. We sold him. We sold him for stepping on a cat. We sold the Shetland. Things got tough. Things got tough. You got to sell a Shetland pony. Right. We had a steer named Sambo and we had him butchered. Sambo was a tough name. Sambo. He was butchered. Oh, damn. Butchered. Yeah. How old were you? Did you like all these animals? Not Sambo because he had horns. He would chase you and you'd have to run. And yeah, the horse or the Shetland pony was fine. Dusty was fine. Dusty? Dusty. What do you get for a Shetland pony? I have no idea. Yeah, I'd have ten bucks. I don't know. It wasn't much. Yeah. What do you do with it? Well, we had a cart and like a trotter. Oh, okay. And it would take rides with it on Sundays and stuff. There was no traffic on the road back then. You would ride a Shetland pony? In a cart. Like a trotter. Yeah. That's fucking insane. Ben, right? Well, that's fun. It was fun. All right. I didn't blinkers on him or the blinders, whatever they're called. And you just get down the road and go about a mile and then come back. Yeah. All right. Well, that's fun. I thought you were like literally using it as transportation. No. That was crazy. So you could go cart. Yeah, that's fun. All right. I'll take it back. That was a Shetland pony. That'd be nice. Yeah. I just go up for a Sunday trip. I'd need a team. I'm not Shetland. I would need a team. I need the Cloddale. Yeah. I'd have to get like the spike, like the Roman spike coming off the cart too. That'd be a nice DUI on the back of a Shetland. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Can you get a DUI in the cart? Yeah. I feel like the Amish could DUI's all the time. You can get him on a bike. You can get a walkin'. You can get a DUI. Yeah. Well. Well, sure. Trust me if he's dodging it. All right. Well, they must not have been out of it. If they haven't got him yet. That's just drunk in public, right? You can walk drunk. I think you can present danger to other people while you're out there besides his stolen one. Yeah. Well, that's you guys. You get a little bit bigger than me. No, I've seen you. I'm out of danger. You're definitely a threat. You run. That's true. He starts running and shit. Uh-huh. But I'm safe for running and walking. Where are you running? I just home as fast as possible. What about, what is he running from? That's the real question. Yeah. Three a.m. when you're like, I need to get out of here and sprint. Dude, dude. When you know you got a kind of a long trip and you're in your full stumble bump, you speed it up. I do understand moving quicker when you're that drunk helps. I do know what you mean. Yeah, yeah. You want like the shortest amount of time out in public. Nothing worse than stumbling. Yeah. When you can't stop a stumble. Yeah, that's tough. Speed it up. Anyway, Phil, what else you got for us? Is your big debut? People have been clamoring for this. Yeah, I know they are. Um, I don't know. Just getting ready for the holidays here. Yeah. Just close the pool. Realize I screwed that up. No, he felt like it's a merciful pump. Like stuck it on top of, you know, the closure that they put over the pool. And the guy came out yesterday to close the spa down. And he said, did you put that submersible pump on top of the netting there? Like, and I said, well, yeah, he said, well, the water goes right through. You've got to put the submersible pump underneath that on the step. I didn't know that. I thought, man, this thing's really working. I never saw any water on top there. Phil. Here's just going right into the pool. You got to get a podcast, man. This is top fucking shit. Wait, how can you shut in the spa down? You got to keep the spa open for. Yeah, keep the spa for winter. I kept it open for an extra month. And Joan got in at one time. Remember when you got drunk and fell onto the tarp? And that was that. You were sober? I was, I was, no, but I wasn't drunk, right? No, what happened is the pavers weren't down far enough. And I leaned in to put the submersible pump. And the pavers lifted up and I went right into the tarp. And I thought, oh my god, this is a weird way to die. I just want to get in droffed with this whole thing. And Joan won't even know I'm missing for a couple of days. But fortunately, I crawled out. Crawled out. I had to crawl out. Fortunately, I crawled out. Yeah, you have to go back into a soaking wet. It was in the middle of a thunderstorm. Oh my god. Yeah. But I made it. Yeah, I got the phone call immediately. My mom called me. It was like, Phil fell on the pool. Fucking idiot. I did not. Damn pavers all. But he was mad. You got to get some cameras out there in the yard just in case. Yeah. That's great footage. Yeah. Yeah. That would have been incredible. So you got that going on. Yeah. Yeah. Kirby's, how about you? What are you up to? Well, you know, we're writing season three. Yeah. personally, you know, single life now and trying to find special someone.

Well, I'm back on the dating scene where we're talking about that. Any with dating advice? You learning me? Yeah. Grace, I've been married for 46 years. How'd you enjoy me? In grade school, sixth grade. She moved in from New Jersey. And I was just started talking with her. We became good friends and actually dated her twin sister for one. No way. Yeah. What did you mean? The switch. It sounds like he's switched. Yeah, the only B. I spend to check things out a little bit. You have to have something to compare it to. But that didn't happen to later, like, eighth or ninth grade. Did you ever see the sign felt episode about the switch? No. It's the roommate switch. So how you're dating one roommate, you want to get to the other one. Oh. And says a whole Banajatwap. I mean, obviously this wouldn't work in this area. She's Christ. No, I'm just saying, you know, so you broke up with her and then later got with. With Joan. Yeah. Yeah. I think she broke up with me. But anyhow, what the hell? Her mom was a good cook. They had steak every, like, Sunday. So I'd get down there and eat and sort of became part of the family. It's Ron and Shelland. Oh, I'm not the chef. That's true. Oh, but they had this dog, this little snauser. And I hated that dog. His name was Otto. And whenever I walked in that room, it would just come up and start biting my feet. And they would put, like me in, like, sort of a staging area, like a waiting area for them to come down the steps or whatever. And I would hear that dog's toenails running towards me. And then at the end, he became blind. So as he's getting real close, I would shut the pocket door and just hear his face hit and it was just, I would just sit in there and laugh. I thought it was great because that dog tormented me for a year. And finally at the end, I got back to him. Yeah. He got revenge on his feet. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's good stuff. Yeah. So you guys started dating in six grades? No. No. Oh, that's when I met your mother in six grade. It's good. Were you in the friend zone for a while? Oh, yeah. How do you get out of the friend zone? You get married. That's how you get out of it. Then you're done being friends. Yeah. Yeah. You know, that's how you get out of it. Now I've just kidding about that. Something. Yeah. So, Garmin, is that good advice? No. Not applicable. You don't say it's bad advice. You don't want to hurt a blind dog. That's good advice. What are your advice for dating? I used to fuck with this dog. All right. Yeah. So. Now, but you're out there. You're on the apps. I'm on an app. Okay. And yeah, it's going well for you. It's going well as far as I get dates now. Yeah. Which is the really saddened upsetting thing about this. It's like I was on the apps, I don't know, six years ago. Yeah. And nothing. Nothing was dry. Absolutely nobody would go on that name. Well, now they know you're funny. Hi. That's the top part about it. When you look like us, you get on a dating app. Yeah. It's just immediate. Oh my god. Right. I tried dating app for like 24 hours once. It was the most depressing crushes because I downloaded it because I was going through a break up and I was like, I'm fucking I'll show her zero for 24 hours. Fuck. Yeah. I don't think a lot of women understand that that's men's experience on dating sites, which is zero. Yeah. Like I had a friend she was like, all the guys on here weird. And I'm like, all the all try zero girls. Yeah. That's way worse. Yeah. I got somebody dammit me like, I'll show you my decky bitch. Fuck you. That's it. At least something. Do you get to see feel something? Get in a reaction. Yes. You get on there. You look like us. You get on a dating app. It's nothing. No. So, uh, then you get picky, which is very funny. You get zero and you sit there going. Yeah. Right. Yeah. You go, oh, a 10. She's gonna like me. Right. Yeah. She's not. So now at least I'm getting dates. So I'm out there and, you know, getting to take people out and. And you're getting in the line dancing. Yeah. I'm getting in the line dancing. I'm really into that. That's the place by us. Should I name? No, I shouldn't. Well, it doesn't matter. What is that? Go ahead. I'm not going to do it. They're going to be there now. Who? The weird guys. I think they're going to be there. They're there anyway. The weird guys are going to be there waiting for you to like this. Uh, already there. They've always been there. All right. That's on you. Well, they will keep the name out of it. It's going to be tough to find. It's going to be real hard to find the right place. This is a great place. Everybody there is so nice. Yeah. Yeah. The bartenders are great. Uh, the bouncers and, you know, they're big fans of tires. So they're all coming like show me how to do moves. Yeah. Which also for the record, I have nothing but support for the weird guys. Of course. Yeah. But support for the weird guys. Um, but we're weird. Yeah. So I got cowboy boots. I just went all in. Yeah. And, uh, yeah. I just want you to know how much this sucks. I know you hate it. I actually don't hate it as much as you think. Well, I don't like that you're practicing line dancing in the office at tires. So that did happen that I was telling Jonah because I'm typically cold. Of course my mom loves it. Yeah, because she's so nice. She's a good soul. And like, no. So, uh, typically I run really cold and the other day we were getting lunch and Chris is all bundled up and I was in a t-shirt. I was like, why are you bundled up? And I was like, oh, of course, top that door was closed. Why is your blood flowing? What were you doing? Working on this move in the boot scoot, VUGIE, where like you can kind of, when you make a turn, you hop off and click your heels. Oh, yeah. Which is what I really like about line dancing, which is the improvisational aspect of it. Once you get down, you can be creative. Yes. Yeah, I like that. You like the boots, good, VUGIE. I love that one. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah. Cotton I Joe. That's a good one. That's fucking great. But it's frowned upon by the line dancing community, Cotton I Joe. It's so simple. Or yeah, I think it's probably just like hack, right? I would imagine it's hack. Yeah. Well, they probably have deep cuts in there. They're like, oh, this one knows what he's doing. Yeah, I suppose, but you got to come to Austin. You got to start with got it. It's all they're doing down there. I've heard and you get down there and cut a rug on a nice southern bell. Yeah, I would love to see Texas babe. Yeah. Should kiss you. Okay. I feel you don't know anything about this guy. He's just sexual. Well, of course, I'm a sexual partner. But that's the thing that I have. You know, it's like you really are you were you're meant to kiss on the first date. What do you mean? That's like a thing that you you're sort of supposed to do on a hinged on a on a date on the first date. You kiss. Yeah. Yeah. Because if like if you're the guy, you don't go for that. It's kind of seen as like lack of interest and lack of confidence. So that was something I had to get over. So even if you had one, you really didn't want to kiss you. It still goes through with it. No, I probably wouldn't. But you know, like all these FaceTime dates beforehand. This is the thing that bothers you. I don't know why it bothers you. I just I don't like I don't much right now. No, no, it's totally fine. I get a real sad about how the informality or like how ever the formality of online dating. Yeah. It makes me sad that there's no like. Kiss me. There's it's just like, okay, and then we FaceTime and we talk to each other and then we say I'd like to meet it this time and we'll see if we like each other. I don't know. You got to do the FaceTime thing though because otherwise you're going out, you're shelling out date money all over the place. And you need to call it. I was fucking loaded. I'm not dude. I'm looking for his riches. I'm not dude. I'm looking for his big shot. I got a big bell buckle with diamonds on it. I don't have a big belt. You have a private parking space for you or anything. They do not have a private parking space. I was just fucking hiding it around me. The FaceTime date works because then you very quickly can determine is this person lying via their pictures and then also are they weird? And you just so it just saves a whole bunch of like I would hate to have to be on a date and instantly know you don't want to be there and then have to like have the full drink and be like, I gotta go. Yeah. That sounds kind of fun though. Yeah, I'd love to be on just a horrendous date that I know. And then you exit. I wouldn't I'd fucking you know man. You stick around.

Let them know I'm here Let the world know they're nice guys Hunter we hunter would have said what's up? Yeah, I saw Ron Paulus and some of the other guys But I didn't have a chance to say hello. They probably wouldn't know me. They didn't know you they don't remember you from the commercial Anyhow so we saw that pit nutter name on Saturday and then Sunday we saw the Steelers and the Bengals play and that was You know just wait was that that wasn't flackovers Roger's that was incredible. You were there for that. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah Yeah, but Rogers got hurt And then the other guy came in and he did a great job, but that was fun. I was I was amazed Truthfully had how much support Those stealer fans give that team. Yeah, I mean that stadium They are 100% for the Steelers and they cheer every play and even though you know people made not like this or that They support that team. I would love to play for the Steelers after I mean seriously And then I felt team I would love to go to Pittsburgh and play for the Steelers. They really do a great job with them So Never I've always wanted to see a game in that stadium. I've never seen a game in the I don't think I've ever seen the Steelers play Yeah How about that Yep, I don't think I have either we got to get out there Those are the best fan bases though.

Mm-hmm. Depends on the individual. They don't really know how to Determine that so the science is out Yeah, how about uh would you get stem cells? I I don't know what the fuck they do, but yeah, I'd have to do some research on it Um Yeah, yeah, if your knees work, right?

Oh, yeah, that's me That's not what I do. Oh, yeah, I don't do that. Oh, yeah, but I'll tell you what it is rewiring my brain You know like because bars I used to never so I'm trying to get my she's trying to get me out of my comfort zone Which I'm totally grateful for and Like went to the Eagles Halloween thing. Yeah Oh, man. Yeah, it is me dressed as jeffar. Yeah, I can't see Kind of blind Right out of the gate. Yeah, well, it's a picture. I thought we were I thought he wanted us in the picture I was like Steve. Let's go. Oh, no, but he was saying get out you say nice new Oh Fuck Yeah How fucking nice is he yeah great everyone was saying Obviously everyone's great, but I went to me and him after the Halloween party went to bonters Yeah, I just sat with him at the bar at bonters. He's huge. He's dressed like a vampire That was out of his and he was just getting into singing he was talking about his singing. He loves singing Yeah, he started singing. It was very funny. That's fantastic. See what I See what If I was just gigantic And I said I want to dance you would be all your city. You know, it's so cool if you were first off I wasn't saying oh, it's so cool. I thought it was funny. It's funny To hear a guy that it's that big. Yeah, you're like thinking about getting into singing bro Yeah I wish I got it really good voice. Yeah, he does. That's the difference also You get a great voice and good moves I can support it The moves are actually pretty good. No, I will say that you go good moves. You gotta come Long legs Yeah, some type of bug on the dance floor I don't look good fucking bug out there. I know I wish I was more proportioned No, I think long legs is good for square dancers long at all three of us pretty I'm the ideal man That's what I think I'm gonna do I think I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna try it out. I'm gonna get big into yoga You got dried out before we film you get flexible for sure. Yeah, and while we're filming we gotta Get the family thankfully it's gonna be early enough days Because of the lighting So you're not gonna we're not gonna be oh, yeah, yeah, I just we go. No, that's it. Yeah It's kind of like a little bit of identity crisis to think about how different I would be if I was Jordan Marlotte my lot of size Yeah, God, I'd love it if you were the exact same There's just a giant version of you. I would probably see I'm going home Six eight jack I'm going as a trip harder the Eagles Halloween party. I have to leave I'm blind Well People so dilated so it's like I can't see anything and I think I asked you at one point is like who's that over there? And you're like jail gone barkly Dang it. I can't see him. Yeah And then just a bunch of giants like I'm seeing it was there. Oh he was yeah, wow. Yeah, oh Yes, Steve couldn't see Folks I got plenty more I would I would gen if I couldn't see I would freak out in those environments too. Yeah, cuz like when Shane came in then Jordan Marlotte was like dancing Yeah, like I don't know everybody's got a dancing and then There was there was some movement back towards me and then there was literally nowhere to go I was against the bar. Yeah, so then You know, yeah, yeah, slowly. It was nice that we were the only trash. We were the only ones there. Yeah other than the Team it was very weird. Yeah, it was awesome. It was really nice with the dickersons. Oh, that's so they they put it together He couldn't be how great is here. Yeah, man Yeah, that's it's funny when you get to know the the guys that play football Like it changes the way I watch the game like like last night Christian McCaffrey running the ball 30 times every time he runs bomb like don't be safe Don't get hurt. I just you become a girlfriend Oh, no, he's down Yeah, get up get up. He's up. He's up. He's good. He's having a hell of a game. Maybe any game. You know, I'm so proud of you It's great Yeah, like I watch bills games now. I'm back to that cuz Gabe Sure Gabe Davis is about I watch it again. I'm like a fucking girlfriend watching this shit. Yeah, he catches the ball like Yeah, Gabriel Anytime he doesn't get thrown you're like he was open. He was open Josh Yeah, but injuries in football it's sad. It's sad. It's so sad for the guys. Yeah, cuz I've really you know It makes them it makes them sad. Yeah, yeah, it's such a just your entire career can be yeah, it's done in a second. Yeah I don't I genuinely don't know how there aren't eight broken legs every running play me neither it's Obviously I would Just ran if no one tackled me Pull up Terry or killies That's what I'm surprised the line guys don't wear the double leg braces. Yeah Also, I feel like the arm the arm brace thing I feel like the one the D guys wear it feels like cheating. Why you just got a metal weapon you can hear Doing weird play like indoor lacrosse. There'd be these fucking Canadian guys and they would build like their own like armor They would just like they would they would like heat up plastic and build just like really really and then it's just Incrusher Canadians were fucking you up. They're nuts. Yeah, are they better than you? I well, who's better skill level? The Americans are the Canadians. I think the Canadians yeah really I mean Damn, it is like a clash of the Pussy's who can play the real sport It's our non football guys versus their non hockey guys Dude Who are the pussy guys get this is our best group of pussy guys now the Canadians because every everyone When I was growing up was like you got to have like be like good and but with both hands and all this stuff And kidding guys when I fuck that yeah, they just got so good with one hand didn't they now New York has the Native Americans Yeah, yeah, one in dog yeah, yeah We laugh about showening or whatever Jim Brown playing he was like nasty at lacrosse. Yeah, so brown Yeah, he played lacrosse at Syracuse. Okay. Yeah, there must have been 10 people on earth playing lacrosse He must have just trucked the fuck out. Yeah, yeah, so I was actually him. I was like can you just lower your shoulder with the ball He's like yeah, that must have been fucking terrifying. Yeah, he just I'd be racist sure I was one of those white guys out there to go get him off the field This is fucking crazy Yeah, that feels like a sport ripe to have somebody come in just dominate like that Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd love to see it fully fuck I would love to see I'd love to see like a LeBron kind of guy out there Yeah, he's so scared my lotta with a lacrosse No Jordan it would shoot the ball 200 miles It's right Jordan my lotta needs to be nowhere near Dude I remember other sport. Yeah, dude. I remember he's scary out there. Yeah He shakes your hand after the game you destroyed the girlfriend girlfriend mode again. Oh my god. Your hands are So fucking gay the whole time Did you can sing and he's handsome. He's dressed like a vampire Yes, he was he was he's dressed like a vampire He's just fucking he's kind of crazy. I was fucking squad of mutants In the corner just like a fucking ninja turtle Blinds going home Got a whole team of pugs in the corner Yeah, these are my buddies. We're all fucking pieces of shit I had the hat the jafar hat was like two foot and it still wasn't bliss bliss showing up at the fucking whatever that face Yeah, mine was fucking no hurt horrifying That's a high level move Yeah, that's a good night. Those are good costumes. I don't I thought I had a good turtle costume. You did have a good I had no costume. I Oh, yeah, no, it wasn't too cool.

What are you nice nice to get your power ranger Yeah, I'm not A big power ranger. I physically am for a body suit Well, it's baggy. It better be Better be baggy. There's a lot of problems with the way to shoot with me In the teenest might be number two Yeah, the love handles is where we're running in this real fucking chaos Just a belt of power ranger belt sagging underneath my gun I mean, that's I'd be with you. I go. I'm going home too. This fucking blows I think that'd be such a sick look If I pulled it. Yeah, if I wore it with confidence. Yeah, but there's no added. There's no I could Be doing the adjust my fucking shirt Pulling the teenest out this time the whole time Don't get that spandex off my dick is crazy When my love is gonna see my tiny penis Dude, I remember when we were in uh, when we were in like I think late middle school early high school Casey Powell is like the best player in the world at the time came and we were hanging out and he was like shooting He was shooting like 95 miles an hour and Sullivan just picked up a stick He's an eighth grade. Yeah, he just picked up a stick and shot like one day Yeah, because he pal was 25 Someone's a horse though Monster I can't imagine an NFL lineman like actually playing lacrosse and shooting the ball Fucking funny if you're allowed to just truck people it would kill golees Yeah, yeah, they definitely started actually wearing pads like way more pads like a thick like a hockey chest protector Those guys must be crazy they're not lacrosse golees. They're nuts. Yeah, I like those positions in sports that are real weird Yeah, like MLB pitchers. Yes, are just insane people I would imagine hockey golees are fucking weird dudes hockey golees. Yeah, yeah, they're supposed to be every single golfer Weird dork Yeah, they don't know any I've only met a couple and they were all very normal and nice. Oh, yeah Just trying to be a little your sport. Oh, okay I just wanted to take your favorite thing and say it sucked Even though it doesn't know what it has to do the little bit because it's such a head that is I would imagine there's a weird people Yeah, like you have to do all these like weird mental stuff to like keep from absolutely melting down. Yeah, yeah So I have golees like talking to pipes and stuff thanking pipes to the My favorite was just during covid going to baseball games where the stadium was empty and you could just listen to the pitchers They're fucking insane. What are they saying? They're every time they put that glove over their face. Yeah, your mother fucker Really I'm just back in the game. You're like always shit. Whoa. Yeah, they're no, they're mental patients Well, that's really interesting. I mean, I get it Yeah, giving up a home run. Yeah, you can just hear it as soon as it leaves the bat. You're the petri Start of a fucking bitch. Give me the ball It's just winging the next pitch I can't imagine like having the confidence Did just throw the picture over the plate time you put me onto that it's very funny when someone gives a home run usually the next pitch is 95 fastball. Yeah down the middle Fuck you Gone again Shit That's got to be the worst feeling in the world Giving up a homer. Yeah, it's a tough one Give me a sack sucked Oh my god Yeah, especially your friends with the quarterback. He's your buddy Just kidding. I'm getting killed. I don't know who the fuck this guy is I'm gone this game run away What can you do if you're just getting smoked what do you Nothing just the coach hopefully the coach can make an adjustment and help the running back chip.
