Speaker 1 (00:06):
All right, welcome to over Promise our bonus Cat episode
eighty nine.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Again.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio, Monday through Friday,
five to seven on the East, two to four on
the West. This is the stuff we can't fit into
our show. They only have two hours of greatness. So
when we have a guest, we have to bring him
on over promis.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Let's do it.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
And this is a guy I thought, I know this
guy happens, this is my first time meeting I'm saying,
see him every day in my life. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling
from barstool. Kevin Clancy, KFC, what's up my friends?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
It's funny how often I get that.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
I get a lot of people saying like, I feel
like I know you, or I introduce I say that
you're my friend and I've never met you before. So
I appreciate that though it means everyone's watching and paying attention,
So thank you, man.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's the truth. We get more content more how do
you do? Is more feedback from you? Then we get
our own friends. You know, I'm there on the bowls
scrolling and there's Kevin Clancy and I'm like, man, and
you're always on top of ship too. It's like, damn,
he never stops. So thank you for being here.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Hold on before you before you get to KFC. Here,
you are more of a Jack Mac guy. I am,
oh son of a bitch.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I'm out, you know I do. And I've been telling
Rich I'll make Jack Max the guy. Dude.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I don't know him personally, but I love his content.
I love your content too, But Jack Max my guy?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Is he your guy? Or do you who's your guy
at barstool?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Man, I'm more of a rich guy.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I mean, you guys got your mets bond and we'll
talk about them in a minute.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah. No, Jack's awesome, man, Jack.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
So I mean when we when I started Barstool, I
started the New York branch of Barstool, and at that
point it was just a blog.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It was just writing.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
And I view what what I do now on Instagram
and YouTube as just video blogs. Like I know the
term vlog is out there, but I believe these are
These are true vlogs in the sense it's the same
topics and the same jokes and the same take.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I'm just saying it now rather than writing it.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
And when I started it, seeing a pretty you know,
pretty good deal of success. Uh and and I kind
of told everybody at the company. I was like, you
all should do this. This is just the new way
to blog. And Jack Mac has really been the only
one that took it and ran with it as well.
I kind of, you know, I make my bones on
the Instagram side, he brushes the TikTok side drives me
(02:27):
crazy how many followers he has.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Right, I'm more of an Instagram guy hence KFC guy
and Comno's TikTok boy.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
It's like WWS WCW back in the day. You know
which Monday night show where you watch it. But he,
I mean, he is smoking it on TikTok. He's doing
a great job.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Now, before we talk baseball, we're all baseball fans.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Baseball's popping, right.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
We've been doing this a long time and it's been
cool to see you just explode through that time.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
But I don't know a lot of the backstory.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So again, thanks for giving us that New York scoop
Portanoy always talks about. He was a triple Crown winner
in high school baseball. I know you're a big basketball guy,
so this is your chance to brag a little bit.
What's your impressive stat How good were you? Were you
good athlete growing up? Or were you always just a fan?
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I mean I was, I played sports growing up. I
would not you know, I don't have a claim to fame.
I don't have faster hands than Delano Deshields like David's day.
I claim to fame is I was the captain of
my basketball team in high school. Okay, we were two
and eighteen as I was captained, So that to give
you a feel for what kind of team it was.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
So that was that's probably where I peaked. In like
fifth and sixth grade little league, I was like getting bombs.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
And then in basketball I was like a little bit bigger.
And then once everyone was athletic, big strong, breaking balls,
you know, all like it all went to shit after
that because if if you got a little taste of
puberty before you went to the big baseball field, that's
when you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Were hitting bombs. That's when you had the opportunity. That
was me.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I stopped growing after twelve, but I was hitting bombs,
and literally that was it. And again, as far as backstory,
people always ask Rich and I, how'd you meet man?
You guys been working together so long, You and poor Nooy,
all these guys go so far back. How did you meet?
Tell us the story. I want to hear the story,
like what was the encounter?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
It's a it's all you know, work and content related.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So I was.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
I came out of school, I got my MBA, I
was an accountant. I was doing the finance worlds. And
once I got to work, and I was so miserable
working like a cube job. Right, there was a guy
there who gave me a list of websites like here's
you know, kill time reading these blogs, and barstool was
one of them. So I found barstool as a fan.
I was reading that, really enjoyed it. Started my own
(04:44):
website very in a very similar vein as Barstools, like
pop culture sports. Mine also added like a mix of
like nineties nostalgia and like movies and stuff like that.
And so I was doing that just for fun. I
just needed like a creative outlet. And and while I
was doing that, he put up a post being like
I'm looking to expand out of Boston, like I conquered Boston.
(05:07):
We want writers from different cities, and the first one
I'm looking for is New York. So at that point
I had a good job. I hated it, but it
was paid well, it was safe, all that shit, and
some of my friends were like, you got to you
gotta throw your name in the ring here, and I
was like, let me see what happens. I sent it
to him and he said something to the effect of like,
I've already seen this. Someone's already sent me this and
(05:29):
told me to keep an eye on this. So he
was already reading it, and it kind of went from there.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
He narrowed it down. We kind of did like.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
An audition for to to get the New York job,
and he narrowed it down to me and one other guy.
He couldn't decide between us, and he said, how about
you guys split the job, split the money, split the writing, and.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
You can keep your old job, which for me was perfect.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
I didn't have to make a jump, I didn't have
to risk anything, and that's and then, you know, so
I did both jobs for a couple of years, and
then once Barstool really started to take off, I made
the jump full time. But as far as like meeting Dave,
it was really just through through the internet. I mean,
I think Once I took the job, I made a
trip up to Boston and we like went to dinner
(06:11):
and and met. But you know a lot of it
was just internet nerd stuff like you blog eye blog.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Rights and you clicked, and that was what around nine,
I guess, right, early two thousands.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Was when I started New York.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
And it was funny because it was like he it
was almost like we were reverse Like I'm the Irish
guy in New York.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
He's the Jewish guy in Boston.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Like wet you know, all his teams won, all my
team's lost. So there was this like, you know, mirror
image of each other that I think worked really well
early on me versus him. And then obviously he's you know,
gone onto a whole other level. But you know, yeah,
we uh we were the first expansion city, and I
think we did a good job of showing Dave that
like this worked.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
You know, he would have just packed up and been like,
let's just go back to Boston. But that led to
Philly and then Baltimore and eventually Chicago, and you know,
that was kind of when the Empire started to explode.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Can't talking about the the ogs like you and Dave
and Big Cat. I couldn't fucking believe the pull of
the Jordan card.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Do you see that? Like before everyone else did. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
I'm surprised that you're surprised, because you know, there's certain
guys Dave, certainly, I've had a long running series called
Dave Portnoy has sold his soul to the devil, because
it's just like the amount of stuff. He's very talented,
very funny, works hard, all that shit, but the amount
of stuff that just fell into his lap, Like if
Boston doesn't have this dynasty, the exact Dave.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
First of all, Dave goes to Michigan, same class as
Tom Brady.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Yeah, and Tom Brady takes over Boston, The Red Sox
break the curse, the Bruins win the Cup, the Big
Three Celtics win a title, and all of barcels rise
coincides perfectly with title down where it just made everything possible.
And then Dan is, you know, right behind Dave as
another one of these guys who's just you know, absolutely
taken over. So yeah, I'm like, those guys should play
(08:04):
the lottery every day because yeah, they're gonna they're they're
they're they're gonna pull the Jordan rookie cards.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Like that does unreal.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's a perfect storm of Austoin. But you know what,
I like you, KFC.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You're more I feel like you're more relatable. I really do.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
As a result, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
In this internet world.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I feel like you either got to be like really funny,
really talented, really relatable. You got one of those things
going for you. And that's always kind of what I
you know, the everyman sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And I always say a Mets fan, if you're a
Mets fan, it means you have good character. It means
you're a nice, loyal and humble guy. You know what
it's like to lose. And that's why I teamed up
with this dude, because he's a Mets guy and I
know you're a big time Mets guy, can'fc.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I want to know your take on our bet this year.
Covino and I decided to do better regular season record
one thousand dollars and then for each game differential one
hundred bucks. So let's say the Mets have a four
game better record than the Yanks. That's fourteen hundred bucks.
Is to say, good bet for me or not?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I think I mean the AL is just so bad.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But once the you know, prior to injuries, I would
have said that's not a great bet, But the way
they have started, the way the Yankees have got injured,
I think that's gonna be a solid bet. I don't know,
I think it's I think it's gonna be a I
don't think it's gonna be a huge differential for either
whoever ends up winning. But I think the way the
Mets are playing, They're only going to get stronger. Uh.
The AL being bad is kind of an X factor there,
(09:27):
But I think you're both.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
You know, that's gonna be a coin flip button comes
down to it.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I think you nail it. It's gonna be close. But
the difference is how stacked the NL is, which is
a shock when you think about. For me, I'm an
AL kid growing up, I'm a Yankees fan, right the
NL growing up, I always thought it was so boring, dude,
And now the NL is so exciting with the Padres
and the Dodgers and the Phillies and the Mets.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Baseball, like you said, the way Disney went through their
fucking renaissance in the nineties, baseball right now, and baseball Yeah,
it's it's back right now. And I'm a big Lindor guy.
Can't believe the way Pete Alonzo is playing the thought
of us so willy nilly almost let him go this.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I was never on that train.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Maybe I know he never you know, recaptured what what
he what he put up as a rookie. He was declining,
you know, there was some issues, but like he's your
all He's gonna be your all time leader at home runs. Yeah,
he's gonna put up, you know, at least thirty bombs
a year for a franchise that really has never had that.
And if they do, it's a couple of guys here
(10:28):
and there. People were turning their nose up at him
like he was some scrub. I was like, are we
are we talking about the same guy.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I can't understand that.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's you know, like it was a negotiating tactic. I
think to downplay his value because he's such a great met.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Well, we're talking on Fox Sports Radio when we're filling
in for Dan Patrick this morning about how Luca Nico
Harrison said, Oh I didn't know the fans cared.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I got How crazy was that? How crazy?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I think Steve Cohen is really in touch with the fans,
but I don't think they realized how much met fans
like Pete Alonzo some you know.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Well, but I also on there. I think a couple
of things happened. One they came out of the Soto negotiation. Negotiation,
I think they had Boris fatigue. I think that was,
you know, they were sick of dealing with him, and
for whatever reason, as I understand it from what I've
heard on like insiders, like there was truly no market
for him, which I just can't believe that, like you know,
(11:21):
the Rockies or the Twins or somebody who can just
throw out, you know, a contract to but when there's
nobody bidding, Like, why are you gonna bid against yourself?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
I didn't like how it drew out and it kind
of like made him look like a chump.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
But I don't know. At the end of the day. Also,
it's like he means thirty million dollars.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah, it's not like, yeah, it's not like he ended
up signing like a veteran minimum, you know. And I'm
sure he's he's playing his way into a ton of
money right now. And I can't decide whether I'm so
happy for him. It's great for the team. I'm sure
there's parts of him that's like, fuck yeah, like I'm
showing you, guys. And then there's also parts that he
must be like, why couldn't I just do this eight
months ago?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
God damn it?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Exactly, I got one less messing and we'll fucking get
off the Mets.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I love your Mets love, but I gotta ask you.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
You know, Gary Vee, Gary Vaynerchuck always talks about how
you love losing.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I love losing.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Is a Jets guy's talking questions I losing.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I just had him in the studio today.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Gary is the central We've known Gary for years, and
I've asked him about this. What if the Jets were
to win? I think about that for guys like you
and me, a KFC, if the Mets were to win,
does it listen? I want it more than anything, But
then what almost Let's find out.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Let's let's figure it out together.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You guys are little kids in diapers.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Last time they won, I was I was one months old.
You know. As far as I'm concerned, I don't know
anything about that.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I cannot even fathom whole world I don't know what
it would be like.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I think I'm the only person at barstool.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Of note, like you know, the major bloggers and podcasters,
that has never won a championship. So I've never like professionally,
had like the moment to celebrate. I've never had the
family moment with my mom. I've never had the friend's moment.
You know, I look at like I always talking about
fidal Berg, he my co host. Fidal Berg won as
like a middle schooler, a high school or a college
(13:20):
kid post college. Professionally, like every walk of life he's
gotten to do. You know, I was drunk at the
parade or like I'm with my old man and he's
got every version of it.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I've never even done one. I cannot.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
I don't even I don't even think about it. Like
I watch every day, I watch every year.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I hope for it, but.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
I don't ever. You know, there are there are people
right now who are like, this is our year. I'm like,
I can't, I cannot declare anything like that. I'm just
I'm just trying to make it to the playoffs back
to back seasons.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Which sweeter tho when you finally win as a Mets fan,
we got to go back to ninety nine, two thousand.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
We don't count that twenty sixteen one game back to back,
that's bullshit.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So back to back is a victory. Yo, We're gonna talk.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
To the division, you know, just being you know, any
sort of consistent. I think that's what they're building now.
So I'm happy about that.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I uh, my daughter. I know you got kids.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
My daughter is seven and she's like, dad, when was
the last time the Mets won the championship? And I'm like, buddy,
it's fucking been a long time.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
And here's a.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Question for you, being you know, you're a New Yorker.
I'm out here in La. All my kids friends are
Dodgers fans. My daughter went to Hello Kiddy Night the
other night with her friends and came back with a
Dodger's hat.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Didn't show hey hit a bomb? That man, show hey
hit a bomb?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
And my kids this is how it happens, all of
a sudden, you got My.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Kids are like Dad, we like the Mets, But is
it okay if we like the Dodgers too. My son
is five and he's like dad, I like Lindor and Otani.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
I'm like, you can't I mean I kind of had
a rule. I really like went through a mental I
was when I first had kids. I was like, I
truly don't know if I'm gonna put this on them, because.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
It was like prior to Cohen and Jets are the Jets.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
And I was like, I don't I don't you know,
I know, I know we all say it builds character
and it's gonna be when it finally happens, but like
it sucks, and it sucks for thirty five years of
my life, and I was thinking, like, maybe I'm not
going to put this on them. I just kind of
had one rule in my mind. I was like, you
just can't be a Yankees fan. You can't be a
Patriots fan. Everyone else like, go ahead, right, But then
(15:23):
once you start, you know, once they become of age
to really know what's going on. But like the Dodgers
wouldn't wouldn't bother me except for the fact that, like
they're the team.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
We have to get over the hump right now, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
But if like if they wanted to be a fan
of like another team that's on the West Coast or
in the al or.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Like the Angels, like fine, love yes, right.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Root for Mike Trout like that doesn't affect me in
any way, but it is interesting to like, you know,
I don't want to curse you with this life and.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Hopefully it's different though hopefully for them.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
You know, it's like if Steve Cohen turns this thing aroud,
they grow up like we've known nothing but winning.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
But you know, a long way to go before we
can cross that room, which.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Helps with the confidence a little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Seriously, before you get into coaching kids, I think you
have a question, Rich. I did want to ask you
the age old debate that we have all the time
as a Yankees and Mets fan Keith Hernandez or Donnie Baseball,
don Manningley and why were you a big Keith kid
growing up?
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I mean, it's funny again, I was so young in
the eighties that like I think of Keith, I'm a
big Keith guys in the booth. Yeah, I've seen his highlights.
I know what he meant. He was awesome. Everyone from
that eighty sixteen in the eighties was like, you know,
baseball lore. But I think of him as just like
this unbelievable, hilarious, ridiculous broadcaster as far as baseball goes.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I mean they're both. They're actually probably very comparable. I
feel like Keith's glove was like out of this.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
World, Oh my god, so comparable. Yeah, he had eleven
gold gloves, Manningly had nine. Right, Yeah, they go back
and forth.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Yeah, and and like maddingly, I don't I hate every
Yankee with like the fire of a thousand sons. Haus
maddingly missed the dynasty, like just missed it, you know.
They a and then he retires right before ninety six.
I don't hate him as much, so I'm like, it's
one guy I could maybe give some props to the
rest of them I hate with every fiber of my being.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
So it's so crazy how close their stats are though.
Yeah even yeah, yeah, Kevin, uh, we follow you. We
love what you do. I want to talk about your
your new alcohol in a second, because that's that's pretty
fucking cool.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I'm a big fan of what you're doing there be.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
But I gotta ask you about the kids sports scene, because,
like I said, I have a seven year old and
a five year old.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I see your beautiful daughter and your son. You're involved the.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Time, it takes, the commitment, the traveling, everything involved and I.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Saw you you had your kid. He played up a
level and he finally got his first double.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I saw that clip, like talk about the emotions of
fucking not only parenting and coaching.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
It's a it's a it's a trip.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Huh, dude, it's it's more. It means more to me
than I think to them, they're.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Just like fun, They're doing their activities and I'm like
on the sidelines dying.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Of you know, I'm so nervous.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Then what I've learned, I've learned a few things. The
baseball team he plays for is the west Chester Giants.
They are unbelievable. Like they have this indoor facility that
they can go to and these professional coaches and they
win championships. They have three different alternate uniforms and like
all this walk up music, the whole nine, right, And
(18:30):
you would think, at least I thought those are going
to be the teams that they take it too seriously
and that the coaches are crazy and then it's not fun.
And I've learned it's the total opposite. Those guys are
awesome and they take it like appropriately serious, but they're
also having a good.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Time and they're teaching.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
It's like the wrec dads and the families of the
other teams that I find to be way worse where
there are people taking it too seriously.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
We were playing flag football against the guy the other day.
He was making a kid play in a boot.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I was like, you're gonna do like irreparable damage this
guy and he's grab another kid by the back of
his neck, and like I was like this. You know,
I cannot stand the people who get too serious about it.
But then there are moments where I'm like ready to
argue with an umpire or like you know, I'm like, all,
I gotta relax.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
The parents are always the problem.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Do you ever get any flak from the opposing parents
because they know who you are, they watch your videos?
Do you get any people coming up to you about that?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
So, my daughter plays on a basketball team. My daughter
was like a gymnastics dance kind of girl, like she
was doing the quote unquote girls sports if you will,
and then she was like, I want to play hoops,
and I was like, let's do it. She turns out
to be like great at basketball, joins the coyo team.
And there's this girl, her name is Isabella. I think
she might legitimately be the best third grade basketball players.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
He plays for the Gauchos with the boys. She pays
aau gaucho boys with the boy so she's like lights out.
And I made a video about her. They won the championship.
She had like twenty five points in the championships, like
dribbled through the legs behind the back. It's like watching
an N one tour. And I made a video about her.
And we had a game the other day and as
we walked in, an opposing mom like noticed me and said, uh,
(20:08):
that's number twelve, And that was the girl was talking about.
She goes number twelve, huh, And I was like, yeah,
it's kind of weird, and she goes, we're coming for you,
and I.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Just went like yeah, and we blew their doors off.
We won like two and four or whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It was nice.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
That's the only time I've really had anybody.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
But it's always a little dicey, like like my daughter
is in a dance on a dance team and they
got robbed.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
She got robbed. Recently. I saw that dad.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Dude, that was the most I've ever been.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
The girl who won, all the girls who won their
mom was running the talent show, and I was like,
this is crazy, but the dance team does this. Uh
you know, you got to go door to door and
sell popcorn to raise money. And it was like a
lot of you know, they were They asked her for
like a thousand bucks.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
It wasn't like chump change.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
And I made a video being like I kind of
hate this fundraising stuff, and that made its way back
to the dance teacher and I get a text being like,
you don't have to participate, you can just write a check.
And I was like, all right, I'm sorry. I'm just
being an idiot. I'm an asshole on the internet. That's
what I do to make money.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yeah, there are times I'm like, yeah, if I forget
when we say parents could hear, that's what I know. Yeah,
you know what one last thing about the kids coaching.
You said the walk up music, the nice fields. I'm
the I'm the coach. I'm the guy dragging the field,
lining ahead of time. And someone's like, who did that
when you were a kid. I'm like, I think we
just played on shitty field. I don't remember it that, Yeah,
(21:27):
I mean I don't. I mean I don't want to
sound like an old guy, but I mean like there
was I don't remember, like a dad raking the field,
like we're at Chase Stadium or something.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
In the sam line was spare tire for second making.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
You remember someone lining the field? The chalk was like
maybe a month ago when I played, Like.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Do you remember like my teams used to have like
a bag of bats that were just like a hunk
of metal.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, yeah, there were bats from the seventies.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Yeah, with just like a regular like rubber rubber. Yes, yes,
And now these kids are they have like legitimately four
hundred dollars back. So I'm like, you, guys, you don't
even know what balls and strikes are yet you're swinging
a five hundred dollars bat.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
It's so funny you would say that because when they
say each kid should bring their own bad I'm like,
when I was a kid, I don't think I had
my own bat. I just used like the team bat,
like your own bad remember getting I actually bought it
on eBay last month.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
I remember. I have a core memory of we were
at like the Sporting good store. There was this.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Beautiful graphite Eastern bat it was black and blue, and
I wanted it, and my mom was like, no, it's
too expensive, we're not going to get it. I went
home all disappointed. The next day, I come home from
school and she had bought it for me, and it's
like seared into my mind. I found it on eBay
and I bought it just to have it. But that
was like when I got my own bat. It was
like a thing because I was using the hunk of
metal that.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
The team provides exactly now.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
It's like kids have their batting practice bat, their game bat,
their tournament bat.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Or you're so right, a torpedo bad.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Not to sound like old guys, but even like my
five year old son has a home and away jersey
and a warm up jersey three.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I know years, and that's just a racket that's he
does that.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
I'm like, I get the value back because they really
are good coaches and all that, so that I don't
know mind.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
It's the other ship that drives me crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Speaking of bats, and by the way, I had the
Eastern Big Barrel and the Black Magic and all those
you peaked at twelve, though twelve sitting bombs with those
Hey is portantly serious about the torpedo bats.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Have you talked to him about this? Do you think
they're illegal?
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Like?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Why does he why.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
That's such a hard Like I love his stuff and
everything he talks about. That's the one thing I'm like,
is he serious about this?
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Well, there's two things, and I'm in the same boat
with this. First one, the Yankees did it first, Okay,
so that's if the Twins did it, I wouldn't give
a ship. The Yankees do it first. I need you,
and that's how it works. And the second thing is
he does love his high school careers triple Crown, and
so this was posed as like, you know, Jazz Chisholm
(23:47):
needs this because he's getting sawed off because he you know,
he doesn't have fast enough hands, and he's like, I
wouldn't need that, you.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Know, I'm a star. So that's it always goes back
to ego with Dave. That's all. That's all that together.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
That's why Keith is better than Don Mattingly because he
calls him Chez jiss.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
He always just he always missed.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I know, Hey, we're here with Kevin Clancy KFC, the
One minute Man. And one of my favorite things that
you do is your conspiracy stuff, So yeah, get your
tinfoil hat.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I love it, man, I get so excited when it's
something different. I'm like, all right, let's get into it
because I love it and I want to get.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Me on the Pyramids.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Brode, you had everybody.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
And you you took it back and I was like, oh, man,
I went and told everybody because of you, So I.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Want to talk about that.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
I had told that one.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I was like, yeah, there's a lot of people out
there talking about what's beneath the pyramids because of me,
and apparently it's all bullshit.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Dude, I'm like, you tru believe it. I still believe
it now. I heard there's tobble roan under there. I
don't know what's going on. So I want to know
your thoughts about that when it's wrong or when you
when you give false information and your favorite conspiracy man,
like your favorite and like how much fun do you
have doing that?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Tell us about it.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
The thing about it is like, obviously a lot of
them are tongue in cheek, but I always like kind
of believe, you know, like some of these things are silly,
but I'm like it could be, you know, I believe.
And the thing about him is once they're they're crazy
conspiracies until these things get proven true, and then you're like,
oh yeah, so there have been you know Epstein and
(25:22):
mk ulture. There's totally things that were totally far fetched
that just became true.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
So you never really know.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
As far as the misinformation stuff, Like I don't ever
purport myself to be a journalist, so when I'm wrong,
I'm just like you idiots believes me.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I'm literally wearing aoil hat.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
We've all been there. I can you know.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
We bust his ball still to this day. He came
in one day and he's like, Bro, there's a guy
that could run on water. It's called liquid engineering, liquid mountaineer.
I forget, here's a thinking it was a guy running
across a lake. And I'm like, are you out of
your mondoes?
Speaker 4 (25:57):
I I can't believe that.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I actually believe it.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But you know, sometimes you're just in the moment you
get got and dude, you had us with the Pyramids.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I was so pumped.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
They had me.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
I'm like, kind of man, It's like, so you're just
telling me that was totally made up?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Like I'm still love it.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I still think now that I have a conspiracy that
the people disproving it are, they're the ones lions.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
So I'm going to circles over here.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Now my U the most like this is not mine
by any means. Many people have thought about this, but
you know, the did we land on the moon or not?
Is a big one, and I used to kind of
beat that drum. And there's a couple other theories. The
moon is a hollow sphere, that's a spaceship, all these
crazy things, and I used to there was a time
where I was really you know, sometimes believing and sometimes
(26:43):
making fun of it, but I was talking about him
a lot. And this is back when we had a
serious channel and we got we got offered to interview
the last astronaut who ever walked on the moon, and
I was I love space and all this shit, so
I was like, definitely gonna do the interview. But I
also have been this anti moon landing guy, so I
had I couldn't just pretend I wasn't, So I just
(27:05):
asually was like, so, what would you say to someone
who might think that that was fake? And he was like,
I would say that you're the dumbest person alive. And
I was like, yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah, I agree, KFC, Kevin Clancy.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
We're big fans what you do. Hashtag Three Bean Gang.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Here here it is.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Let me tell you, let's let's let's see what we
got going on here. I'm a big fan of what
you do, and I love how all your fans and
supporters tag you every time they were having a cocktail
with their wife or girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yeah, man, this this is the espresso martini.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I was.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I've been drinking espresso martini since probably when I was
starting barstool, like two thousand and nine, twenty ten. At
that point, it was not a popular drink. It was
kind of it still is to this day, but at
that point it was a really girly drink. It was
hard to find. Bartenders wouldn't know how to make it.
They didn't know, they didn't have an espresso machine, all
this stuff. And I loved it, and the few people
(27:57):
out there who also loved it. It was kind of
like our you know, a little badge of honor, our
little club, the Three Bean Gang. You always put these
three coffee beans in as a garnish means health, wealth,
and happiness.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
It's a chost you do and.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
So for the last ten years it was really just
you know, take pictures of your martini, send it to me,
use the hashtag. I never really planned on doing anything,
but then the drink became so popular. I got approached
by Sazarak was like an alcohol distributor.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
These guys are like literally chemical engineers who came up
with this all pre bottled, ready to drink, and you
shake it up in a shaker and it like the
thing about the martini is you need like the foam.
It's got to have the froth and all that, and
that's you could never make that at home that needed
you know, at a bartend or a restaurant would do
that for you. So now I'm a big homebody. I
(28:44):
like to be on the couch. I like watching the
ball game. I like to be here, and now I
can have my favorite cocktail with this midnight bean. It
has the right flavor, it has the right you know,
consistency nineteen ninety nine a bottle. It's like, you know,
the the cosso one martini.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
How do you beat that?
Speaker 5 (29:00):
When we first went down the road, I was like,
this is just going to be a higher end alcohol,
and it is what it is it's going to be
like an eighty nine dollars bottle because you're thinking you're
getting like four or five martinis that's like one hundred bucks.
And I was like, I'm gonna get killed by it,
but like, the people who like it are gonna like it.
And then they were like, I was like, you know,
we go through it all. It tastes great, looks great.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I was like, what's the damage and they were like,
nineteen ninety nine and I was like.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
American dollars, what, Like, that's fit. So it's it's rolling
out now. It will be available coast to coast in
pretty much all liquor stores, restaurants, bars that want it.
So I'm at the phase right now of trying to
garner up the hype for people to ask for it
if they don't have it at your local spots, to
ask them to stock it. And the way it works is,
(29:45):
you know, state by state, it kind of gets approved
and eventually it'll be a widespread nationwide release.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
So we're we're in.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
The process of really getting it out there. Midnight bean
is I think, you know for espresso martini drinkers it is.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I'm at the point of my career, I don't really
endorse anything that I don't really mean, and so like
it tastes right, it looks right, it's all good. So yeah,
I'm pretty pumped about it. It's it's my first alcohol
that I like put my name on, really and I
think it's gonna.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Be a hit.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Well, dude, congrats. First of all, ask your liquor store
about this. Yeah, I want we got that fight night
coming up.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
We were just talking about a second May second, man,
can you get a bottle by May?
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Second? Me the address I'll send you.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Guys were sending out these influencer packs but then a
shaker and a you know, a couple accessories.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
I'd love to hook you guys up.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I love it, man, and congrats on that. That's gonna
be a cool thing for you.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Also, just because like you know, you've you've accomplished a
hell of a lot Kevin. But to be like, yeah,
I have it. I decided I drink this drink and
now I bottled it and I teamed up. That's fucking cool.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
No, And we've done like a we we've endured, like
we've we've had ad reads for other alcohols and whatever.
And some of them, like a nice whiskey was a
good fit. We also did like a kind of like
a four local drink, pirate water.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
It was not a good fit. And now I'm like
this one, this is the one, Like this is my cocktail.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Uh. And I know it's kind of been a thing
with like celebrity alcohol has gone like crazy over the
last few years, but I.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Was there was a market for spirits. Man, hopefully this
is your portnoy uh high. Now, hey, dude, we're all
behind it. I love me some espresso martini.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I would love to get my hands on that. And
real quick question growing up, what was what was your
like go to cheap ass drink you used to drink
growing up?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Oh? We we and we were.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
I grew up in Westchester, which was like the underage
drinking capital of the world, right right, So we used
to get I would probably say like some some steel reserves,
sane IDEs, like malt liquor thing. Yeah, those were I
remember one time we got stopped.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
We were walking like walking through the streets.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Uh, trying to We were probably going to a woods
party in my town, and this cop sauce holding you know,
six packs and whatever, and they stole the beat, like
they pulled us over. They pulled over and you know,
get rest of the ride. Act, stole the pier and
we to go to the party, bit to walk past
the police station afterwards.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
So they saw us.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Come by again and they held up the steel reserve
and they were like, stop drinking this ship. Yes, you
were going to steal you know, let's go have a couple,
you know, beers from the kids.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
And they were like, we're throwing this shit in the garbage, man.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
But how cool is that you went from sane I's
in all this trash to your own martine.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Dude, that's bottle here exactly.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
That's so cool man. Hey, pleasure man. Hey, we got
to catch him against soon. Let's not let's not be strangers.
Speaker 4 (32:29):

beginning talking about how we were OG's. But I've always
thought of you guys the same I've been seeing. This
is long overdue. I've been seeing Comino and Rich you know,
for a long time now, especially here in the New

you're my friend and I've never met you before. So
I appreciate that though it means everyone's watching and paying attention,
So thank you, man.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Hold on before you before you get to KFC. Here,
you are more of a Jack Mac guy. I am,
oh son of a bitch.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I'm out, you know I do. And I've been telling
Rich I'll make Jack Max the guy. Dude.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I don't know him personally, but I love his content.
I love your content too, But Jack Max my guy?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Is he your guy? Or do you who's your guy

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Man, I'm more of a rich guy.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I mean, you guys got your mets bond and we'll
talk about them in a minute.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah. No, Jack's awesome, man, Jack.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
So I mean when we when I started Barstool, I
started the New York branch of Barstool, and at that
point it was just a blog.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It was just writing.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
And I view what what I do now on Instagram
and YouTube as just video blogs. Like I know the
term vlog is out there, but I believe these are
These are true vlogs in the sense it's the same
topics and the same jokes and the same take.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I'm just saying it now rather than writing it.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
And when I started it, seeing a pretty you know,
pretty good deal of success. Uh and and I kind
of told everybody at the company. I was like, you
all should do this. This is just the new way
to blog. And Jack Mac has really been the only
one that took it and ran with it as well.
I kind of, you know, I make my bones on
the Instagram side, he brushes the TikTok side drives me
(02:27):
crazy how many followers he has.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Right, I'm more of an Instagram guy hence KFC guy
and Comno's TikTok boy.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
It's like WWS WCW back in the day. You know
which Monday night show where you watch it. But he,
I mean, he is smoking it on TikTok. He's doing
a great job.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Now, before we talk baseball, we're all baseball fans.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Baseball's popping, right.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
We've been doing this a long time and it's been
cool to see you just explode through that time.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
But I don't know a lot of the backstory.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So again, thanks for giving us that New York scoop
Portanoy always talks about. He was a triple Crown winner
in high school baseball. I know you're a big basketball guy,
so this is your chance to brag a little bit.
What's your impressive stat How good were you? Were you
good athlete growing up? Or were you always just a fan?
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I mean I was, I played sports growing up. I
would not you know, I don't have a claim to fame.
I don't have faster hands than Delano Deshields like David's day.
I claim to fame is I was the captain of
my basketball team in high school. Okay, we were two
and eighteen as I was captained, So that to give
you a feel for what kind of team it was.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
So that was that's probably where I peaked. In like
fifth and sixth grade little league, I was like getting bombs.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
And then in basketball I was like a little bit bigger.
And then once everyone was athletic, big strong, breaking balls,
you know, all like it all went to shit after
that because if if you got a little taste of
puberty before you went to the big baseball field, that's
when you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Were hitting bombs. That's when you had the opportunity. That
was me.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I stopped growing after twelve, but I was hitting bombs,
and literally that was it. And again, as far as backstory,
people always ask Rich and I, how'd you meet man?
You guys been working together so long, You and poor Nooy,
all these guys go so far back. How did you meet?
Tell us the story. I want to hear the story,
like what was the encounter?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
It's a it's all you know, work and content related.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So I was.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
I came out of school, I got my MBA, I
was an accountant. I was doing the finance worlds. And
once I got to work, and I was so miserable
working like a cube job. Right, there was a guy
there who gave me a list of websites like here's
you know, kill time reading these blogs, and barstool was
one of them. So I found barstool as a fan.
I was reading that, really enjoyed it. Started my own
(04:44):
website very in a very similar vein as Barstools, like
pop culture sports. Mine also added like a mix of
like nineties nostalgia and like movies and stuff like that.
And so I was doing that just for fun. I
just needed like a creative outlet. And and while I
was doing that, he put up a post being like
I'm looking to expand out of Boston, like I conquered Boston.
(05:07):
We want writers from different cities, and the first one
I'm looking for is New York. So at that point
I had a good job. I hated it, but it
was paid well, it was safe, all that shit, and
some of my friends were like, you got to you
gotta throw your name in the ring here, and I
was like, let me see what happens. I sent it
to him and he said something to the effect of like,
I've already seen this. Someone's already sent me this and
(05:29):
told me to keep an eye on this. So he
was already reading it, and it kind of went from there.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
He narrowed it down. We kind of did like.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
An audition for to to get the New York job,
and he narrowed it down to me and one other guy.
He couldn't decide between us, and he said, how about
you guys split the job, split the money, split the writing, and.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
You can keep your old job, which for me was perfect.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
I didn't have to make a jump, I didn't have
to risk anything, and that's and then, you know, so
I did both jobs for a couple of years, and
then once Barstool really started to take off, I made
the jump full time. But as far as like meeting Dave,
it was really just through through the internet. I mean,
I think Once I took the job, I made a
trip up to Boston and we like went to dinner
(06:11):
and and met. But you know a lot of it
was just internet nerd stuff like you blog eye blog.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Rights and you clicked, and that was what around nine,
I guess, right, early two thousands.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Was when I started New York.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
And it was funny because it was like he it
was almost like we were reverse Like I'm the Irish
guy in New York.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
He's the Jewish guy in Boston.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Like wet you know, all his teams won, all my
team's lost. So there was this like, you know, mirror
image of each other that I think worked really well
early on me versus him. And then obviously he's you know,
gone onto a whole other level. But you know, yeah,
we uh we were the first expansion city, and I
think we did a good job of showing Dave that
like this worked.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
You know, he would have just packed up and been like,
let's just go back to Boston. But that led to
Philly and then Baltimore and eventually Chicago, and you know,
that was kind of when the Empire started to explode.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Can't talking about the the ogs like you and Dave
and Big Cat. I couldn't fucking believe the pull of
the Jordan card.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Do you see that? Like before everyone else did. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
I'm surprised that you're surprised, because you know, there's certain
guys Dave, certainly, I've had a long running series called
Dave Portnoy has sold his soul to the devil, because
it's just like the amount of stuff. He's very talented,
very funny, works hard, all that shit, but the amount
of stuff that just fell into his lap, Like if
Boston doesn't have this dynasty, the exact Dave.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
First of all, Dave goes to Michigan, same class as
Tom Brady.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Yeah, and Tom Brady takes over Boston, The Red Sox
break the curse, the Bruins win the Cup, the Big
Three Celtics win a title, and all of barcels rise
coincides perfectly with title down where it just made everything possible.
And then Dan is, you know, right behind Dave as
another one of these guys who's just you know, absolutely
taken over. So yeah, I'm like, those guys should play
(08:04):
the lottery every day because yeah, they're gonna they're they're
they're they're gonna pull the Jordan rookie cards.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Like that does unreal.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's a perfect storm of Austoin. But you know what,
I like you, KFC.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You're more I feel like you're more relatable. I really do.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
As a result, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
In this internet world.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I feel like you either got to be like really funny,
really talented, really relatable. You got one of those things
going for you. And that's always kind of what I
you know, the everyman sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And I always say a Mets fan, if you're a
Mets fan, it means you have good character. It means
you're a nice, loyal and humble guy. You know what
it's like to lose. And that's why I teamed up
with this dude, because he's a Mets guy and I
know you're a big time Mets guy, can'fc.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I want to know your take on our bet this year.
Covino and I decided to do better regular season record
one thousand dollars and then for each game differential one
hundred bucks. So let's say the Mets have a four
game better record than the Yanks. That's fourteen hundred bucks.
Is to say, good bet for me or not?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I think I mean the AL is just so bad.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But once the you know, prior to injuries, I would
have said that's not a great bet, But the way
they have started, the way the Yankees have got injured,
I think that's gonna be a solid bet. I don't know,
I think it's I think it's gonna be a I
don't think it's gonna be a huge differential for either
whoever ends up winning. But I think the way the
Mets are playing, They're only going to get stronger. Uh.
The AL being bad is kind of an X factor there,
(09:27):
But I think you're both.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
You know, that's gonna be a coin flip button comes
down to it.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I think you nail it. It's gonna be close. But
the difference is how stacked the NL is, which is
a shock when you think about. For me, I'm an
AL kid growing up, I'm a Yankees fan, right the
NL growing up, I always thought it was so boring, dude,
And now the NL is so exciting with the Padres
and the Dodgers and the Phillies and the Mets.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Baseball, like you said, the way Disney went through their
fucking renaissance in the nineties, baseball right now, and baseball Yeah,
it's it's back right now. And I'm a big Lindor guy.
Can't believe the way Pete Alonzo is playing the thought
of us so willy nilly almost let him go this.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I was never on that train.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Maybe I know he never you know, recaptured what what
he what he put up as a rookie. He was declining,
you know, there was some issues, but like he's your
all He's gonna be your all time leader at home runs. Yeah,
he's gonna put up, you know, at least thirty bombs
a year for a franchise that really has never had that.
And if they do, it's a couple of guys here
(10:28):
and there. People were turning their nose up at him
like he was some scrub. I was like, are we
are we talking about the same guy.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I can't understand that.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's you know, like it was a negotiating tactic. I
think to downplay his value because he's such a great met.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Well, we're talking on Fox Sports Radio when we're filling
in for Dan Patrick this morning about how Luca Nico
Harrison said, Oh I didn't know the fans cared.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I got How crazy was that? How crazy?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I think Steve Cohen is really in touch with the fans,
but I don't think they realized how much met fans
like Pete Alonzo some you know.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Well, but I also on there. I think a couple
of things happened. One they came out of the Soto negotiation. Negotiation,
I think they had Boris fatigue. I think that was,
you know, they were sick of dealing with him, and
for whatever reason, as I understand it from what I've
heard on like insiders, like there was truly no market
for him, which I just can't believe that, like you know,
(11:21):
the Rockies or the Twins or somebody who can just
throw out, you know, a contract to but when there's
nobody bidding, Like, why are you gonna bid against yourself?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
I didn't like how it drew out and it kind
of like made him look like a chump.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
But I don't know. At the end of the day. Also,
it's like he means thirty million dollars.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah, it's not like, yeah, it's not like he ended
up signing like a veteran minimum, you know. And I'm
sure he's he's playing his way into a ton of
money right now. And I can't decide whether I'm so
happy for him. It's great for the team. I'm sure
there's parts of him that's like, fuck yeah, like I'm
showing you, guys. And then there's also parts that he
must be like, why couldn't I just do this eight
months ago?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
God damn it?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Exactly, I got one less messing and we'll fucking get
off the Mets.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I love your Mets love, but I gotta ask you.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
You know, Gary Vee, Gary Vaynerchuck always talks about how
you love losing.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I love losing.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Is a Jets guy's talking questions I losing.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I just had him in the studio today.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Gary is the central We've known Gary for years, and
I've asked him about this. What if the Jets were
to win? I think about that for guys like you
and me, a KFC, if the Mets were to win,
does it listen? I want it more than anything, But
then what almost Let's find out.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Let's let's figure it out together.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You guys are little kids in diapers.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Last time they won, I was I was one months old.
You know. As far as I'm concerned, I don't know
anything about that.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I cannot even fathom whole world I don't know what
it would be like.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I think I'm the only person at barstool.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Of note, like you know, the major bloggers and podcasters,
that has never won a championship. So I've never like professionally,
had like the moment to celebrate. I've never had the
family moment with my mom. I've never had the friend's moment.
You know, I look at like I always talking about
fidal Berg, he my co host. Fidal Berg won as
like a middle schooler, a high school or a college
(13:20):
kid post college. Professionally, like every walk of life he's
gotten to do. You know, I was drunk at the
parade or like I'm with my old man and he's
got every version of it.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I've never even done one. I cannot.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
I don't even I don't even think about it. Like
I watch every day, I watch every year.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I hope for it, but.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
I don't ever. You know, there are there are people
right now who are like, this is our year. I'm like,
I can't, I cannot declare anything like that. I'm just
I'm just trying to make it to the playoffs back
to back seasons.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Which sweeter tho when you finally win as a Mets fan,
we got to go back to ninety nine, two thousand.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
We don't count that twenty sixteen one game back to back,
that's bullshit.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So back to back is a victory. Yo, We're gonna talk.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
To the division, you know, just being you know, any
sort of consistent. I think that's what they're building now.
So I'm happy about that.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I uh, my daughter. I know you got kids.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
My daughter is seven and she's like, dad, when was
the last time the Mets won the championship? And I'm like, buddy,
it's fucking been a long time.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
And here's a.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Question for you, being you know, you're a New Yorker.
I'm out here in La. All my kids friends are
Dodgers fans. My daughter went to Hello Kiddy Night the
other night with her friends and came back with a
Dodger's hat.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Didn't show hey hit a bomb? That man, show hey
hit a bomb?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
And my kids this is how it happens, all of
a sudden, you got My.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Kids are like Dad, we like the Mets, But is
it okay if we like the Dodgers too. My son
is five and he's like dad, I like Lindor and Otani.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
I'm like, you can't I mean I kind of had
a rule. I really like went through a mental I
was when I first had kids. I was like, I
truly don't know if I'm gonna put this on them, because.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
It was like prior to Cohen and Jets are the Jets.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
And I was like, I don't I don't you know,
I know, I know we all say it builds character
and it's gonna be when it finally happens, but like
it sucks, and it sucks for thirty five years of
my life, and I was thinking, like, maybe I'm not
going to put this on them. I just kind of
had one rule in my mind. I was like, you
just can't be a Yankees fan. You can't be a
Patriots fan. Everyone else like, go ahead, right, But then
(15:23):
once you start, you know, once they become of age
to really know what's going on. But like the Dodgers
wouldn't wouldn't bother me except for the fact that, like
they're the team.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
We have to get over the hump right now, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
But if like if they wanted to be a fan
of like another team that's on the West Coast or
in the al or.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Like the Angels, like fine, love yes, right.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Root for Mike Trout like that doesn't affect me in
any way, but it is interesting to like, you know,
I don't want to curse you with this life and.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Hopefully it's different though hopefully for them.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
You know, it's like if Steve Cohen turns this thing aroud,
they grow up like we've known nothing but winning.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
But you know, a long way to go before we
can cross that room, which.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Helps with the confidence a little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Seriously, before you get into coaching kids, I think you
have a question, Rich. I did want to ask you
the age old debate that we have all the time
as a Yankees and Mets fan Keith Hernandez or Donnie Baseball,
don Manningley and why were you a big Keith kid
growing up?
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I mean, it's funny again, I was so young in
the eighties that like I think of Keith, I'm a
big Keith guys in the booth. Yeah, I've seen his highlights.
I know what he meant. He was awesome. Everyone from
that eighty sixteen in the eighties was like, you know,
baseball lore. But I think of him as just like
this unbelievable, hilarious, ridiculous broadcaster as far as baseball goes.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I mean they're both. They're actually probably very comparable. I
feel like Keith's glove was like out of this.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
World, Oh my god, so comparable. Yeah, he had eleven
gold gloves, Manningly had nine. Right, Yeah, they go back
and forth.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Yeah, and and like maddingly, I don't I hate every
Yankee with like the fire of a thousand sons. Haus
maddingly missed the dynasty, like just missed it, you know.
They a and then he retires right before ninety six.
I don't hate him as much, so I'm like, it's
one guy I could maybe give some props to the
rest of them I hate with every fiber of my being.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
So it's so crazy how close their stats are though.
Yeah even yeah, yeah, Kevin, uh, we follow you. We
love what you do. I want to talk about your
your new alcohol in a second, because that's that's pretty
fucking cool.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I'm a big fan of what you're doing there be.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
But I gotta ask you about the kids sports scene, because,
like I said, I have a seven year old and
a five year old.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I see your beautiful daughter and your son. You're involved the.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Time, it takes, the commitment, the traveling, everything involved and I.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Saw you you had your kid. He played up a
level and he finally got his first double.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I saw that clip, like talk about the emotions of
fucking not only parenting and coaching.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
It's a it's a it's a trip.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Huh, dude, it's it's more. It means more to me
than I think to them, they're.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Just like fun, They're doing their activities and I'm like
on the sidelines dying.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Of you know, I'm so nervous.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Then what I've learned, I've learned a few things. The
baseball team he plays for is the west Chester Giants.
They are unbelievable. Like they have this indoor facility that
they can go to and these professional coaches and they
win championships. They have three different alternate uniforms and like
all this walk up music, the whole nine, right, And
(18:30):
you would think, at least I thought those are going
to be the teams that they take it too seriously
and that the coaches are crazy and then it's not fun.
And I've learned it's the total opposite. Those guys are
awesome and they take it like appropriately serious, but they're
also having a good.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Time and they're teaching.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
It's like the wrec dads and the families of the
other teams that I find to be way worse where
there are people taking it too seriously.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
We were playing flag football against the guy the other day.
He was making a kid play in a boot.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I was like, you're gonna do like irreparable damage this
guy and he's grab another kid by the back of
his neck, and like I was like this. You know,
I cannot stand the people who get too serious about it.
But then there are moments where I'm like ready to
argue with an umpire or like you know, I'm like, all,
I gotta relax.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
The parents are always the problem.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Do you ever get any flak from the opposing parents
because they know who you are, they watch your videos?
Do you get any people coming up to you about that?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
So, my daughter plays on a basketball team. My daughter
was like a gymnastics dance kind of girl, like she
was doing the quote unquote girls sports if you will,
and then she was like, I want to play hoops,
and I was like, let's do it. She turns out
to be like great at basketball, joins the coyo team.
And there's this girl, her name is Isabella. I think
she might legitimately be the best third grade basketball players.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
He plays for the Gauchos with the boys. She pays
aau gaucho boys with the boy so she's like lights out.
And I made a video about her. They won the championship.
She had like twenty five points in the championships, like
dribbled through the legs behind the back. It's like watching
an N one tour. And I made a video about her.
And we had a game the other day and as
we walked in, an opposing mom like noticed me and said, uh,
(20:08):
that's number twelve, And that was the girl was talking about.
She goes number twelve, huh, And I was like, yeah,
it's kind of weird, and she goes, we're coming for you,
and I.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Just went like yeah, and we blew their doors off.
We won like two and four or whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It was nice.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
That's the only time I've really had anybody.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
But it's always a little dicey, like like my daughter
is in a dance on a dance team and they
got robbed.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
She got robbed. Recently. I saw that dad.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Dude, that was the most I've ever been.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
The girl who won, all the girls who won their
mom was running the talent show, and I was like,
this is crazy, but the dance team does this. Uh
you know, you got to go door to door and
sell popcorn to raise money. And it was like a
lot of you know, they were They asked her for
like a thousand bucks.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
It wasn't like chump change.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
And I made a video being like I kind of
hate this fundraising stuff, and that made its way back
to the dance teacher and I get a text being like,
you don't have to participate, you can just write a check.
And I was like, all right, I'm sorry. I'm just
being an idiot. I'm an asshole on the internet. That's
what I do to make money.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yeah, there are times I'm like, yeah, if I forget
when we say parents could hear, that's what I know. Yeah,
you know what one last thing about the kids coaching.
You said the walk up music, the nice fields. I'm
the I'm the coach. I'm the guy dragging the field,
lining ahead of time. And someone's like, who did that
when you were a kid. I'm like, I think we
just played on shitty field. I don't remember it that, Yeah,
(21:27):
I mean I don't. I mean I don't want to
sound like an old guy, but I mean like there
was I don't remember, like a dad raking the field,
like we're at Chase Stadium or something.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
In the sam line was spare tire for second making.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
You remember someone lining the field? The chalk was like
maybe a month ago when I played, Like.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Do you remember like my teams used to have like
a bag of bats that were just like a hunk
of metal.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, yeah, there were bats from the seventies.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Yeah, with just like a regular like rubber rubber. Yes, yes,
And now these kids are they have like legitimately four
hundred dollars back. So I'm like, you, guys, you don't
even know what balls and strikes are yet you're swinging
a five hundred dollars bat.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
It's so funny you would say that because when they
say each kid should bring their own bad I'm like,
when I was a kid, I don't think I had
my own bat. I just used like the team bat,
like your own bad remember getting I actually bought it
on eBay last month.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
I remember. I have a core memory of we were
at like the Sporting good store. There was this.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Beautiful graphite Eastern bat it was black and blue, and
I wanted it, and my mom was like, no, it's
too expensive, we're not going to get it. I went
home all disappointed. The next day, I come home from
school and she had bought it for me, and it's
like seared into my mind. I found it on eBay
and I bought it just to have it. But that
was like when I got my own bat. It was
like a thing because I was using the hunk of
metal that.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
The team provides exactly now.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
It's like kids have their batting practice bat, their game bat,
their tournament bat.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Or you're so right, a torpedo bad.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Not to sound like old guys, but even like my
five year old son has a home and away jersey
and a warm up jersey three.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I know years, and that's just a racket that's he
does that.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
I'm like, I get the value back because they really
are good coaches and all that, so that I don't
know mind.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
It's the other ship that drives me crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Speaking of bats, and by the way, I had the
Eastern Big Barrel and the Black Magic and all those
you peaked at twelve, though twelve sitting bombs with those
Hey is portantly serious about the torpedo bats.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Have you talked to him about this? Do you think
they're illegal?
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Like?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Why does he why.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
That's such a hard Like I love his stuff and
everything he talks about. That's the one thing I'm like,
is he serious about this?
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Well, there's two things, and I'm in the same boat
with this. First one, the Yankees did it first, Okay,
so that's if the Twins did it, I wouldn't give
a ship. The Yankees do it first. I need you,
and that's how it works. And the second thing is
he does love his high school careers triple Crown, and
so this was posed as like, you know, Jazz Chisholm
(23:47):
needs this because he's getting sawed off because he you know,
he doesn't have fast enough hands, and he's like, I
wouldn't need that, you.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Know, I'm a star. So that's it always goes back
to ego with Dave. That's all. That's all that together.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
That's why Keith is better than Don Mattingly because he
calls him Chez jiss.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
He always just he always missed.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I know, Hey, we're here with Kevin Clancy KFC, the
One minute Man. And one of my favorite things that
you do is your conspiracy stuff, So yeah, get your
tinfoil hat.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I love it, man, I get so excited when it's
something different. I'm like, all right, let's get into it

Speaker 1 (24:30):
And you you took it back and I was like, oh, man,
I went and told everybody because of you, So I.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Want to talk about that.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
I had told that one.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I was like, yeah, there's a lot of people out
there talking about what's beneath the pyramids because of me,
and apparently it's all bullshit.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Dude, I'm like, you tru believe it. I still believe
it now. I heard there's tobble roan under there. I
don't know what's going on. So I want to know
your thoughts about that when it's wrong or when you
when you give false information and your favorite conspiracy man,
like your favorite and like how much fun do you
have doing that?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Tell us about it.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
The thing about it is like, obviously a lot of
them are tongue in cheek, but I always like kind
of believe, you know, like some of these things are silly,
but I'm like it could be, you know, I believe.
And the thing about him is once they're they're crazy
conspiracies until these things get proven true, and then you're like,
oh yeah, so there have been you know Epstein and
(25:22):
mk ulture. There's totally things that were totally far fetched
that just became true.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
So you never really know.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
As far as the misinformation stuff, Like I don't ever
purport myself to be a journalist, so when I'm wrong,
I'm just like you idiots believes me.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I'm literally wearing aoil hat.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
We've all been there. I can you know.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
We bust his ball still to this day. He came
in one day and he's like, Bro, there's a guy
that could run on water. It's called liquid engineering, liquid mountaineer.
I forget, here's a thinking it was a guy running
across a lake. And I'm like, are you out of
your mondoes?
Speaker 4 (25:57):
I I can't believe that.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I actually believe it.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But you know, sometimes you're just in the moment you
get got and dude, you had us with the Pyramids.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I was so pumped.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
They had me.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
I'm like, kind of man, It's like, so you're just
telling me that was totally made up?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Like I'm still love it.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I still think now that I have a conspiracy that
the people disproving it are, they're the ones lions.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
So I'm going to circles over here.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Now my U the most like this is not mine
by any means. Many people have thought about this, but
you know, the did we land on the moon or not?
Is a big one, and I used to kind of
beat that drum. And there's a couple other theories. The
moon is a hollow sphere, that's a spaceship, all these
crazy things, and I used to there was a time
where I was really you know, sometimes believing and sometimes
(26:43):
making fun of it, but I was talking about him
a lot. And this is back when we had a
serious channel and we got we got offered to interview
the last astronaut who ever walked on the moon, and
I was I love space and all this shit, so
I was like, definitely gonna do the interview. But I
also have been this anti moon landing guy, so I
had I couldn't just pretend I wasn't, So I just
(27:05):
asually was like, so, what would you say to someone
who might think that that was fake? And he was like,
I would say that you're the dumbest person alive. And
I was like, yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah, I agree, KFC, Kevin Clancy.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
We're big fans what you do. Hashtag Three Bean Gang.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Here here it is.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Let me tell you, let's let's let's see what we
got going on here. I'm a big fan of what
you do, and I love how all your fans and
supporters tag you every time they were having a cocktail
with their wife or girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yeah, man, this this is the espresso martini.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I was.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I've been drinking espresso martini since probably when I was
starting barstool, like two thousand and nine, twenty ten. At
that point, it was not a popular drink. It was
kind of it still is to this day, but at
that point it was a really girly drink. It was
hard to find. Bartenders wouldn't know how to make it.
They didn't know, they didn't have an espresso machine, all
this stuff. And I loved it, and the few people
(27:57):
out there who also loved it. It was kind of
like our you know, a little badge of honor, our
little club, the Three Bean Gang. You always put these
three coffee beans in as a garnish means health, wealth,
and happiness.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
It's a chost you do and.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
So for the last ten years it was really just
you know, take pictures of your martini, send it to me,
use the hashtag. I never really planned on doing anything,
but then the drink became so popular. I got approached
by Sazarak was like an alcohol distributor.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
These guys are like literally chemical engineers who came up
with this all pre bottled, ready to drink, and you
shake it up in a shaker and it like the
thing about the martini is you need like the foam.
It's got to have the froth and all that, and
that's you could never make that at home that needed
you know, at a bartend or a restaurant would do
that for you. So now I'm a big homebody. I
(28:44):
like to be on the couch. I like watching the
ball game. I like to be here, and now I
can have my favorite cocktail with this midnight bean. It
has the right flavor, it has the right you know,
consistency nineteen ninety nine a bottle. It's like, you know,
the the cosso one martini.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
How do you beat that?
Speaker 5 (29:00):
When we first went down the road, I was like,
this is just going to be a higher end alcohol,
and it is what it is it's going to be
like an eighty nine dollars bottle because you're thinking you're
getting like four or five martinis that's like one hundred bucks.
And I was like, I'm gonna get killed by it,
but like, the people who like it are gonna like it.
And then they were like, I was like, you know,
we go through it all. It tastes great, looks great.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I was like, what's the damage and they were like,
nineteen ninety nine and I was like.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
American dollars, what, Like, that's fit. So it's it's rolling
out now. It will be available coast to coast in
pretty much all liquor stores, restaurants, bars that want it.
So I'm at the phase right now of trying to
garner up the hype for people to ask for it
if they don't have it at your local spots, to
ask them to stock it. And the way it works is,
(29:45):
you know, state by state, it kind of gets approved
and eventually it'll be a widespread nationwide release.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
So we're we're in.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
The process of really getting it out there. Midnight bean
is I think, you know for espresso martini drinkers it is.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I'm at the point of my career, I don't really
endorse anything that I don't really mean, and so like
it tastes right, it looks right, it's all good. So yeah,
I'm pretty pumped about it. It's it's my first alcohol
that I like put my name on, really and I
think it's gonna.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Be a hit.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Well, dude, congrats. First of all, ask your liquor store
about this. Yeah, I want we got that fight night
coming up.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
We were just talking about a second May second, man,
can you get a bottle by May?
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Second? Me the address I'll send you.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Guys were sending out these influencer packs but then a
shaker and a you know, a couple accessories.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
I'd love to hook you guys up.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I love it, man, and congrats on that. That's gonna
be a cool thing for you.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Also, just because like you know, you've you've accomplished a
hell of a lot Kevin. But to be like, yeah,
I have it. I decided I drink this drink and
now I bottled it and I teamed up. That's fucking cool.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
No, And we've done like a we we've endured, like
we've we've had ad reads for other alcohols and whatever.
And some of them, like a nice whiskey was a
good fit. We also did like a kind of like
a four local drink, pirate water.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
It was not a good fit. And now I'm like
this one, this is the one, Like this is my cocktail.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Uh. And I know it's kind of been a thing
with like celebrity alcohol has gone like crazy over the
last few years, but I.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Was there was a market for spirits. Man, hopefully this
is your portnoy uh high. Now, hey, dude, we're all
behind it. I love me some espresso martini.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I would love to get my hands on that. And
real quick question growing up, what was what was your
like go to cheap ass drink you used to drink

Speaker 4 (31:45):
We were walking like walking through the streets.
Speaker 5 (31:48):

six packs and whatever, and they stole the beat, like
they pulled us over. They pulled over and you know,

we to go to the party, bit to walk past
the police station afterwards.
Speaker 4 (32:05):

Speaker 5 (32:06):
Come by again and they held up the steel reserve
and they were like, stop drinking this ship. Yes, you
were going to steal you know, let's go have a couple,
you know, beers from the kids.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
And they were like, we're throwing this shit in the garbage, man.
