  Wild Wild West.

• 0:02Matt McCusker?

  Hello.

• 0:02Speaker 00

  Hey.

• 0:03Matt McCusker?

  Hello. Hello, hello.

• 0:06Speaker 00

  Hey Matt, how are you?

• 0:07Matt McCusker?

  Good, how you doing?

• 0:07Speaker 00

  I'm doing alright.

• 0:08Matt McCusker?

  I'm jet lagged, bro. I had a fucking, I, I've, I had to fly from LA to Buffalo and I had to get up at 1:50 a.m. Because I had to get on like a 5 a.m. flight, so I was like,

• 0:19Speaker 00

  Damn.

• 0:20Matt McCusker?

  Let me get there. Every time I check traffic over there at nighttime, I'm like, damn, it takes an hour to get to the airport. Then I wake up and it's 22 minutes.

• 0:25Speaker 00

  Sure, yeah.

• 0:26Matt McCusker?

  So I wake up super early and dude, I get there and LAX is one of a few airports that doesn't run 24/7. Like the ticketing and bagging and everything. So I get there at like 3, being like, I'll give myself two hours. It's Friday. It's, you know, it's a giant city. It's gonna be, I thought it was a booming metropolis.

• 0:43Speaker 00

  That's insane, dude.

• 0:44Matt McCusker?

  I get there early, dude, because I didn't want to, if I missed it, I had to get all the way to beautiful Buffalo. I would have been fucked. I go, I fly like an old person. I get there two hours early.

• 0:51Speaker 00

  Two hours early is crazy.

• 0:52Matt McCusker?

  Oh dude, that's, that's like an hour early. In a smaller airport, I'm, I, for some reason, I'm like, it's LAX. There's gonna be a million people. Dude, I get there, it's just six people. We're sitting in there and the guy, I was like trying to do the ticket counter and the guy's like, yo dude, you can't, you gotta wait till like 4 o'clock. And I was like, 4 o'clock? My flight's at fucking 5:30. That only gives me an hour and a half. It's crazy.

• 1:13Speaker 00

  So easy.

• 1:14Matt McCusker?

  Well dude, I'm sitting there, so I had to wait till 4 o'clock. You had to wait till, and then everyone gets to do like the thing and put the bag. And then there's just like, you go to the next level. I go up the escalator to go to the TSA pre-check. And there's just people standing there like, get downstairs. You're not allowed to be up here. And I'm like, okay. So I had to ride the escalator back down. So then everyone's just waiting by the escalator and all like, for like 20 minutes, you watch people like ride up and a couple be like, hey, you can't, and they just ignore them and come back down as the ride of shame. So we, it was like, it was set up to get someone to spaz, dude, because then we finally get to another place and we get to another checkpoint, like, everybody wait here. We're not open yet. And I was just like, dude, what the fuck? It was, it was, it was tough.

• 1:51Speaker 00

  It's insane to me.

• 1:51Matt McCusker?

  Then I flew all the way to Buffalo and had to do two shows and I was, I was fucked up for like three days. I basically like didn't sleep for a day.

• 1:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:58Matt McCusker?

  I was, I was, I was jacked up.

• 2:00Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's terrible.

• 2:01Matt McCusker?

  It was bad.

• 2:01Speaker 00

  You can't go to the airport that early.

• 2:03Matt McCusker?

  I had to. That was, I had, in order to get to-

• 2:05Speaker 00

  You don't have to.

• 2:05Matt McCusker?

  That got me to Buffalo by 3 p.m. Show was at 7.

• 2:08Speaker 00

  Oh, well that you had to.

• 2:09Matt McCusker?

  That's what I'm saying, I had to do it.

• 2:10Speaker 00

  I'm saying you don't have to get to the airport that early.

• 2:12Matt McCusker?

  Dude, in LA, it was, I thought there was gonna be fucking-

• 2:14Speaker 00

  You've flown so many times.

• 2:15Matt McCusker?

  I know, but I, not out of-

• 2:17Speaker 00

  You can get to the airport- Like 20 minutes.

• 2:19Matt McCusker?

  I dude, I did this once and it backfired on me and I got so shook that I was like, never again. I had to go, I was in, I had to fly out of Austin. I was, I was late. And I had like, I got there as the plane started boarding and it just so happened to be slammed. I had to go to the wheelchair line. Beg my way in front of wheelchair people to be like, hey, man.

• 2:38Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:39Matt McCusker?

  I know you got your sitch going on.

• 2:40Speaker 00

  Sure.

• 2:41Matt McCusker?

  I'm running late and they were like, yeah, for sure. They let me all go.

• 2:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:44Matt McCusker?

  And I was like, never again. I felt, I don't like asking for stuff and like having to ask a person, literally like four people in wheelchairs to be like, can I get in front of you? Was just a low point for me personally.

• 2:54Speaker 00

  Sure.

• 2:55Matt McCusker?

  Then I had a fight with a clear representative because they do two for one all the time.

• 2:58Speaker 00

  But you gotta find a middle ground. You can't, don't be late.

• 3:00Matt McCusker?

  I have no middle ground.

• 3:01Speaker 00

  Two hours early.

• 3:02Matt McCusker?

  I, I have no middle ground.

• 3:03Speaker 00

  Unless you're planning on hitting the bar.

• 3:06Matt McCusker?

  I do the.

• 3:07Speaker 00

  I'm not averse to two hours in an airport.

• 3:09Matt McCusker?

  That'd be fun.

• 3:10Speaker 00

  That results in a rough day.

• 3:12Matt McCusker?

  I just work. I, I just plug in my laptop and drink coffee and just work on my laptop. So I kinda like being there. I get, I get.

• 3:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:18Matt McCusker?

  Focus, but I also, if I dilly dally, I lose track of time easily. So if I go, I got time, I'll completely fuck myself. So yeah, I'm an early bird to the airport. I get there so early.

• 3:28Speaker 00

  It's like my mom.

• 3:29Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I know.

• 3:30Speaker 00

  For real.

• 3:30Matt McCusker?

  I know. My parents do it too. If they, if they ever fly, which they rarely do.

• 3:35Speaker 00

  My parents flew Spirit this weekend.

• 3:37Matt McCusker?

  Did they really?

• 3:37Speaker 00

  They, uh, surprised me. Well, they thought it was a surprise.

• 3:40Matt McCusker?

  Right, right.

• 3:41Speaker 00

  In Vegas, uh, which was crazy because they got there at like 10 a.m. on Saturday. Which is when I was, I was like, we should hang out. But they didn't, they wanted to wait until I was watching the Notre Dame game to walk in. So they waited until like 4:30.

• 3:57Matt McCusker?

  Got you.

• 3:58Speaker 00

  And then I had a show, like I didn't even see him.

• 4:00Matt McCusker?

  Oh, man.

• 4:00Speaker 00

  I hung out with, I watched football. I watched like the first half of the game with them.

• 4:03Matt McCusker?

  And they were just there the whole time?

• 4:05Speaker 00

  Yeah. But then, no, then we went and, uh, we played blackjack for a little after the show.

• 4:09Matt McCusker?

  That's cool.

• 4:09Speaker 00

  So the night before Friday. First time ever I've left the casino with chips. I won so much.

• 4:16Matt McCusker?

  That's awesome.

• 4:17Speaker 00

  Cause I kept, I was tired as fuck and I was trying to go to bed, so I just kept going all in on blackjack. And I did it like three times in a row and I won all three. And then I ended up with a lot of money.

• 4:26Matt McCusker?

  Sick, you walked.

• 4:27Speaker 00

  Yeah, I had to walk eventually. I have a nice rule of I'll never walk.

• 4:31Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 4:32Speaker 00

  Until it's so, you know.

• 4:33Matt McCusker?

  Pot was thin.

• 4:33Speaker 00

  Then you have to. But, uh, I, uh, when my dad got there the next day, I handed him a wad of cash from what I, I gave him ten grand.

• 4:42Matt McCusker?

  The winnings?

• 4:43Speaker 00

  Yeah, I gave him ten thousand dollars in cash. First off, when I handed it to him, he just goes, "Thanks." I was like, "Dude, you're such a piece of shit. You're such a piece of shit." I thought this was gonna be-

• 4:55Matt McCusker?

  Not even pretending to be like, "Oh, I can't."

• 4:57Speaker 00

  No, no, not even, he'd just go, "Thank you." I was like, "Dude." I gave it to him, that was funny. So then after the show, after the show, we go play blackjack, but I didn't have time to go take out more money. So I was sitting next to my dad and I was like that, "Let me get some of that money." And he was like, "Now, hold on." I was like, "Dude, give me the fucking money I just gave you. I'm not gonna take all of it." So I, he gives me a little, I lose right away. Cause I go all in, just lose. I was like, "All right, a little more." He goes, "Okay." He takes it out and-

• 5:27Matt McCusker?

  He's peeling them off.

• 5:30Speaker 00

  He's such a dickhead, dude.

• 5:33Speaker 00

  He gave me like a hundred bucks. He's an asshole.

• 5:37Matt McCusker?

  That's so funny.

• 5:37Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'll give it to him, that was funny.

• 5:41Matt McCusker?

  That's hilarious.

• 5:42Speaker 00

  Yeah. Ten thousand in cash. Yeah, thanks.

• 5:45Matt McCusker?

  Peeling the bill separately is such a funny move.

• 5:47Speaker 00

  Peeling it real slowly. And stopping to look at me. Keep peeling it, taking one back, peeling one back into the pile.

• 5:56Matt McCusker?

  He's very, from what I understand, he's a pretty methodical gambler, right? He's pretty disciplined and methodical.

• 6:00Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He hated watching me play.

• 6:02Matt McCusker?

  He doesn't like, yeah, I've seen-

• 6:03Speaker 00

  Of me just being like, "I'm all in."

• 6:04Matt McCusker?

  Shane, come on.

• 6:04Speaker 00

  Shane, god damn it. Now look at that, you lost. That's great. Just great.

• 6:12Matt McCusker?

  It's so funny, dude.

• 6:13Speaker 00

  Yeah, it was. It was nice, though. It was nice having my mom. My mom and dad came.

• 6:17Matt McCusker?

  That's fun.

• 6:17Speaker 00

  But they flew Spirit and I was like, I can. Uh, terrible.

• 6:21Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 6:22Speaker 00

  It's like fucking eight hours on Spirit Airlines.

• 6:25Matt McCusker?

  So when you fly Spirit at Austin, you gotta go to like a different whole side of the airport, which takes an extra 20 minutes to get to. I know people who miss flights that way. They'd be like, oh, yeah, I'm flying.

• 6:34Speaker 00

  I think Frontier and Spirit are like a different.

• 6:36Matt McCusker?

  It's a dude, it's a totally.

• 6:37Speaker 00

  Terminal, yeah.

• 6:37Matt McCusker?

  It tax like 20 something minutes onto the trip so it can sink you.

• 6:41Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 6:41Matt McCusker?

  Luckily, I. Yeah.

• 6:43Speaker 00

  Yeah. But they wouldn't let me upgrade their flight home.

• 6:46Matt McCusker?

  What?

• 6:47Speaker 00

  I don't know.

• 6:48Matt McCusker?

  Dang.

• 6:49Speaker 00

  I was like, gosh, I can get you first class.

• 6:50Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I can get you.

• 6:51Speaker 00

  Cause I wanted to, not out of like.

• 6:53Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 6:53Speaker 00

  Just my parents are older. It's like.

• 6:55Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, for sure.

• 6:56Speaker 00

  I do like them in the back of Spirit just battling.

• 6:59Matt McCusker?

  True.

• 7:03Matt McCusker?

  That is really funny.

• 7:04Speaker 00

  I should have got Phillip Burger King crown.

• 7:05Matt McCusker?

  The what?

• 7:06Speaker 00

  I should have got the BK crown. You'd have no idea why.

• 7:11Speaker 00

• 8:51Matt McCusker?

  You're not gonna do that.

• 8:54Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, Brittany used to do, when we first met, she would, it wasn't Spirit, she would do Southwest at like 5:00 in the morning. Every flight. I, I just thought that was like the flight schedule. I'm like, damn, planes are early as hell.

• 9:04Speaker 00

  Dude, they're like 6:00 PM. You can, you never have to fly at 5:00 AM.

• 9:08Matt McCusker?

  I had to.

• 9:09Speaker 00

  You do have to.

• 9:09Matt McCusker?

  I had to get to the people of Buffalo, dude.

• 9:11Speaker 00

  West East do stuff.

• 9:12Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that was, that was, man, that fucked me up big time.

• 9:15Speaker 00

  Dude, Gabe, Gabe was at your show, wasn't he?

• 9:17Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 9:17Speaker 00

  Nice.

• 9:18Matt McCusker?

  Gabe was there Saturday.

• 9:19Speaker 00

  Nice.

• 9:19Matt McCusker?

  That was good. I'm glad he went to, he went to a good one. The, uh, dude, when I left, so I left Buffalo, beautiful Buffalo, New York on a Sunday morning. I got picked up by this Uber driver to go to the airport. The guy, you know, he was just like a normal guy. He's pretty funny. And, uh, I was like, damn, it smells so good. There's the General Mills factory. I'm like, smells like honey nut Cheerios. He goes, dude, I just learned what that was. I've been here for a while. He goes, I, I picked this lady up from there and she was like, yeah, it's a cereal factory. That's why it smells good. And he goes, right. And he started, so I asked her like, so what? Do you make like all the cereals? Do you guys make the cereal for like Buffalo? Do you ship it at somewhere else? And I was just like, did you thought they make, they have a giant factory just for Buffalo? Just, just a Buffalo cereal factory.

• 10:02Speaker 00

  Lot of Cheerios.

• 10:04Matt McCusker?

  It killed me.

• 10:05Speaker 00

  That's so good.

• 10:06Matt McCusker?

  That killed me first of all. And then, so we keep driving because I do have my happy to chat feature on.

• 10:10Speaker 00

  Spread that out or is that just?

• 10:12Matt McCusker?

  He thought it was just like every city has their own cereal factory.

• 10:17Speaker 00

  It's like a video game.

• 10:18Matt McCusker?

  I know. Yeah. So that cracked me up. I'm like, all right, all right. And then, uh, so I'm like, I wonder what else this guy's up to. So we're chatting. He was just like, yeah, man, people are crazy. I always love telling Uber drivers like, yeah, I used to drive for Lyft. I kind of know the whole deal. And, uh, he was so we're getting like how like people treat you. And he was like, yeah, there's one lady, man. He goes, I gotta record everything now. Cause this fucking lady, I pick her up, I drive her and I drop her off. And then like, you know, we talk just like this. We're talking the whole time. And, uh, and I, I'm almost positive he had the words mixed up. He goes, and then she tries to file a complaint for sexual assault. While we're talking, saying like, I was like, you know, sexually assaulted her. And I'm like, okay, I didn't like correct him at all. He goes, dude, like they have, I'm 4.98 stars. Like they have my rating. I had to go back and forth like, guys,

• 11:01Matt McCusker?

  you know, I never do this. I have a family. Well, then he looks at me, he goes, I mean, 15 years ago, maybe.

• 11:10Matt McCusker?

  He was being about sexual harassment.

• 11:11Speaker 00

  Sure.

• 11:12Matt McCusker?

  But him hitting me is like 15 years ago.

• 11:14Speaker 00

  Might have sexually assaulted that woman. I was wild back then.

• 11:18Matt McCusker?

  He was killing me. He was the funniest dude I've ever met.

• 11:21Speaker 00

  Back in 2010, I might have sexually assaulted.

• 11:24Matt McCusker?

  Before I had a wife and kids, I mean, who knows? It was a bit of a wild child.

• 11:28Speaker 00

  That's awesome.

• 11:29Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. It was my favorite.

• 11:30Speaker 00

  That happy to chat must be devastating.

• 11:33Matt McCusker?

  Happy to chat's the move. It's so funny.

• 11:34Speaker 00

  Happy to chat for those guys must just be like, holy shit. All right.

• 11:38Matt McCusker?

  This dude, he was, he was pushing me to my limit.

• 11:40Speaker 00

  Break my best stories.

• 11:42Matt McCusker?

  He pushed me to my limit, dude. He had, after I, he kept talking after, he talked the entire time. But dude, he, those two gems are cracking me up. And I was like, damn, man, you guys, what's, what do you make all the cereal for Buffalo? Dude, what the fuck?

• 11:58Speaker 00

  Yeah. It's literally, that's a child's brain.

• 12:04Speaker 00

  Every town must have a Cheerio factory.

• 12:07Matt McCusker?

  And then I got, I got to the club and I had ordered Uber Eats like minutes before I could, so I wanted to time it so I can get it.

• 12:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 12:14Matt McCusker?

  Go back and eat. And they dropped it off at the bar and I go up and I'm like, hey, I asked the one person working there. I'm like, I think I have like food over there. Can I grab it? And he just like, you went to the bartender like, hey, whatever her name was. And she just looked up and went, what?

• 12:29Matt McCusker?

  Got all rough and tumble.

• 12:30Speaker 00

  Buffalo.

• 12:30Matt McCusker?

  Buffalo is so rough and tumble.

• 12:32Speaker 00

  I love Buffalo.

• 12:32Matt McCusker?

  It's awesome. There was a giant blood stain on the sidewalk outside of the club.

• 12:36Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 12:36Matt McCusker?

  Like on the block, like a block away. I kept, I walked past.

• 12:40Speaker 00

  That's the Cheerios factory.

• 12:43Matt McCusker?

  Big Cheerio dispute.

• 12:46Matt McCusker?

  We're gonna take all of your lucky charms into the town over.

• 12:48Speaker 00

  Give her my dead body punk.

• 12:53Matt McCusker?

  But yeah, Buffalo was so fun. I had a, I had a blast.

• 12:57Matt McCusker?

  Had a good old time. I had some wings. It was nice.

• 12:59Speaker 00

  You got some wings? Where'd you go? Do you, do you know?

• 13:01Matt McCusker?

  Pizza Plant. That was the name of the place. Place ruled. Yeah. Yeah. People were against my decisions for gluten free pizza and curry wings, but you know.

• 13:09Speaker 00

  That's insane. You're in Buffalo dude. You fucking asshole.

• 13:13Matt McCusker?

  I got the curry wings.

• 13:15Speaker 00

  That's crazy.

• 13:17Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I was, yeah.

• 13:19Speaker 00

  You're not gonna believe it, but when I go to Buffalo, I put a hurting on chicken wings. It's fucking crazy. It's crazy dude.

• 13:27Matt McCusker?

  Curry wings, they were so good, man.

• 13:28Speaker 00

  I don't even branch off different flavors. I just go Buffalo.

• 13:31Matt McCusker?

  I mean.

• 13:32Speaker 00

  I'm here for the fucking original recipe.

• 13:34Matt McCusker?

  I know, I know, I know. Well, you never see curried wings. I have Buffalo every other time.

• 13:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, but not the Buffalo. It's, it's mom's gravy.

• 13:40Matt McCusker?

  I'll be back.

• 13:41Speaker 00

  It's the gravy.

• 13:43Matt McCusker?

  Sunday gravy.

• 13:43Speaker 00

  It's the perfect Sunday.

• 13:45Matt McCusker?

  I'll be back. I'll be, she'll be back to Buffalo. So I'll, I'll avenge my, but damn those curried wings.

• 13:48Speaker 00

  Never leaving Buffalo dude.

• 13:50Matt McCusker?

  Oh dude.

• 13:50Speaker 00

  I'll never leave Buffalo.

• 13:52Matt McCusker?

  Buffalo fucking rules.

• 13:53Speaker 00

  That was my actual, that was my argument against the Saudis.

• 13:56Matt McCusker?

  What?

• 13:56Speaker 00

  When they were like, why don't you go do this thing? I was like, I'm gonna go to Buffalo. They're like, alright. I'm not going to fucking Riyadh, I'll go to Buffalo. Buffalo rules.

• 14:07Matt McCusker?

  Well, I was joking because it kind of looks like the Middle East over there, it's bombed out, bro.

• 14:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, it bombed it down a little.

• 14:11Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 14:13Speaker 00

  Yeah, when you walk around, where you, what, I know what hotel you're at.

• 14:16Matt McCusker?

  The Hyatt, yeah, it was, you walk, a lot of buildings there.

• 14:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 14:20Matt McCusker?

  Bombed, bro, it was crazy, but Buffalo was crushing it, man, I was there, everyone had a good time.

• 14:24Speaker 00

  It was fun.

• 14:24Matt McCusker?

  I love it.

• 14:25Speaker 00

  Me and Lamie's had an all time night there.

• 14:28Matt McCusker?

  Oh yeah, that was, uh.

• 14:29Speaker 00

  It was Buffalo, man.

• 14:30Matt McCusker?

  Fuck, dude.

• 14:32Speaker 03

  Sassy.

• 14:33Speaker 00

  What's that?

• 14:33Speaker 03

  I said it was sass.

• 14:35Speaker 00

  And a little sass.

• 14:36Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah, we put a hurtin' on some wings at the Anchor Bar.

• 14:39Speaker 00

  We did.

• 14:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 14:40Speaker 00

  I think I probably had thirty. It's crazy, the numbers I put up in Buffalo, I'm like MJ at the Garden, dude. You give me the Anchor Bar, I'm dropping eighty.

• 14:50Matt McCusker?

  Dude.

• 14:52Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, their pizza plant was fired up, man, they were as good as hell. It was right next to, it was literally, I was like, walking, trying to find it, I walked outside, it's just attached to the hotel. I did like spun the block like a moron, being like, it's so close.

• 15:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 15:04Matt McCusker?

  Walked around, like, I could just walk through the hotel and found the pizza plant.

• 15:07Speaker 00

  Pizza plant would've been nice.

• 15:08Matt McCusker?

  Pizza plant was fucking good, dude, they, they had one of those gluten free pizzas that's like, the, some of, they've made techno, like technological leaps in gluten free pizza, where I swear to God, it's almost as good. Pizza plant hit me with like a classic, gen one.

• 15:21Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 15:21Matt McCusker?

  Dry, and I, I like that for some weird reason, I like a dry, cracker-y crust. Again, their regular pizza's probably sick as hell, but.

• 15:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 15:29Matt McCusker?

  I was there with my frie, I have a friend from Canada who came down to visit me. And I would, dude, I was, I was so exhausted, and he was like, I'll, I'll meet you at nine AM, I was like, no shot, I was like, I'm sleeping, I was like, I'll hit you up at ten. Ten AM I'll wake up, he's like, I'm outside, I was like, you motherfucker.

• 15:42Speaker 00

  Damn.

• 15:42Matt McCusker?

  So, it was cool, we went to the art museum.

• 15:45Speaker 00

  You went to the Buffalo Art Museum?

• 15:46Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, AKG.

• 15:47Speaker 00

  Fucking finger painting? Oh, fuck are they doing with the art?

• 15:50Matt McCusker?

  You must not have seen the AKG, they had all the, they had the, uh, what is it called, there's a seven, I learned about seven Canadian masters called like the great seven or something? They just draw like snowy trees.

• 16:02Matt McCusker?

  It was awesome.

• 16:02Speaker 00

  The Canadian masters.

• 16:03Matt McCusker?

  I didn't, dude, there's seven Canadian masters.

• 16:07Matt McCusker?

  Called the great seven, look them up guys, look up the, I kept calling them the wrong names, my, my friend's like a art dealer.

• 16:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 16:13Matt McCusker?

  So he kept being like, so what about the big seven? He's like, they're not called the big seven, stop saying that.

• 16:17Speaker 00

  It's the big seven now. They say no, it's the big seven.

• 16:20Matt McCusker?

  They were just all snowy ass fucking, what do they call it, the great seven? The league of seven or some shit?

• 16:25Speaker 04

  The group of seven.

• 16:26Matt McCusker?

  Group of seven, that's it.

• 16:27Speaker 00

  The group of seven?

• 16:28Matt McCusker?

  They all drew snowy trees.

• 16:29Speaker 00

  Are they all French?

• 16:31Speaker 04

  Um.

• 16:32Matt McCusker?

  I mean, pretty much.

• 16:33Speaker 04

  French Canadian, I think.

• 16:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, well, obviously.

• 16:36Speaker 04

  It's hard to, they're not telling me.

• 16:38Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, you gotta go to the AKG if you wanna learn about them.

• 16:42Speaker 04

  They have, they don't have French names, from what I can tell.

• 16:46Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, they had like, some of them were like MacArthur, they had some Scottish, yeah, some Scots over there drawing the snowy trees.

• 16:52Speaker 04

  Barley.

• 16:53Matt McCusker?

  I will say the, um, I didn't realize the people, I mean, it's kind of dumb, but the people in museums, like the people that stand there, like the black, like the black shirts and shit, I thought they were just security guards. Bro, they're all like art history majors.

• 17:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 17:05Matt McCusker?

  They would like horn in and be like, you guys have any questions? And I'd be like, not really, unless there's something you wanna say. And the lady, she would have talked for an hour and a half.

• 17:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, art history degrees get you, you basically are like a fucking palace guard in England.

• 17:16Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, dude.

• 17:17Speaker 00

  You have to just stand at attention all day. And then somebody comes in and go, this sucks dude, I gotta take a shit. God damn it.

• 17:25Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, she was like, talking about this one person where like, this painting, this is like the house that he built, and if you look this way, that view of a river is what he would see outside of his house. And I'm like, damn, you guys are going crazy on this. I breezed through in two seconds.

• 17:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, I don't believe you.

• 17:39Matt McCusker?

  Cool, cool, nice, I'm out. But yeah, they were, they were getting into it.

• 17:43Speaker 00

  Now, when the art people start talking to me, I go, I literally, I don't believe you. Did he tell you that? I don't think that's true. I don't think he saw that.

• 17:52Matt McCusker?

  You should just start being like, I actually heard that, uh, he had French lineage. I thought he had French lineage. I thought it was more like realistic surrealism.

• 17:59Speaker 00

  Yeah, did you know he was gay?

• 18:04Matt McCusker?

  Like, what do you know about Salvador Dali?

• 18:07Speaker 00

  I'm more of a Dali guy.

• 18:08Matt McCusker?

  It's cool. I also, what I did learn though, cause a lot of those guys, you see some paintings where you're like, you see one that's like a, like a hyper realistic portrait that someone painted that I'm like, yeah, I'm like, that's amazing. And then you get a guy who's like, super squiggly. Who's the guy who does the screen painting? Munch or something, his name is, I learned?

• 18:25Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 18:26Matt McCusker?

  I thought it was Van Gogh the whole time. This guy Mook or something.

• 18:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 18:29Matt McCusker?

  He did the screen painting and I'm looking at his other paintings. I'm like, a lot of them are just swirly, crazy stuff. And I'm like, dude, if I was a guy who did this and I'm seeing this, I'd be like, what the fuck? But apparently those guys can do that. They get bored and then they're like, they wanna do some weird.

• 18:43Speaker 00

  Nice.

• 18:44Matt McCusker?

  Other shit. I learned that. Cause I, all, my whole life, I was like, dude, you got these guys just masquerading around. I'm like, I'd love to do that.

• 18:49Speaker 00

  Squiggly guys?

• 18:50Matt McCusker?

  Squiggly guys. But my friend was like, no dude, he's a master technique. He could do that if he wants. But this is his, how he, you know, chose to spend his later years. It's like, let me see some proof.

• 18:58Speaker 00

  Fuck all that, dude.

• 18:59Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, let me see some proof.

• 19:02Speaker 00

  But yeah, there's a guy, there's a guy who does like blue, just rectangles.

• 19:06Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that, the modern art.

• 19:07Speaker 00

  Modern art.

• 19:08Matt McCusker?

  Count me out, dude.

• 19:09Speaker 00

  Fuck itself.

• 19:09Matt McCusker?

  Count me out.

• 19:10Speaker 00

  I've been in the MoMA so many times. And every time I go, I get angry.

• 19:14Matt McCusker?

  Nah, man.

• 19:15Speaker 00

  You walk in, it's like a TV screen of a woman screaming.

• 19:17Matt McCusker?

  Dude, that shit pisses me off.

• 19:19Speaker 00

  What the fuck is this?

• 19:19Matt McCusker?

  They, they've gotten into some wild stuff. I will say, yeah, that stuff I have no.

• 19:23Speaker 00

  Starry Nights in there and that's, that's nice to look at.

• 19:26Matt McCusker?

  Starry Nights is sick, so. I, I saw, um, there was this lady, she's a Japanese woman. She had like one of those immersive installations where she apparently started hallucinating polka dots everywhere. So she would paint these rooms and you walk in and it sounds so dumb, but they're just tiny dots and big dots and it, that was kinda cool. But.

• 19:42Speaker 00

  Nice.

• 19:43Matt McCusker?

  It's like, I don't know. Yeah, I can't get behind the thing of a guy on a VCR being like, stop right there. Stop right there. And you're like, that's, I could have done that in five fucking seconds.

• 19:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, it stinks.

• 19:52Matt McCusker?

  That'd piss me off.

• 19:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 19:54Matt McCusker?

  But there's, yeah, there was a guy who like attached fluorescent lights together. They're like, this was actually very.

• 19:59Speaker 00

  I'd like to beat the shit out of him. I'm gonna fuck that guy.

• 20:03Matt McCusker?

  Especially again, like dude, the people who paint like a beautiful waterfall or like.

• 20:08Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's fucking alt comedy.

• 20:09Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 20:11Speaker 00

  Do chomp or whatever. That's alt comedy, dude. Like, I could do comedy, but I'm just gonna do like making fun of comedy.

• 20:18Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 20:19Speaker 00

  Shut up, dork. I've never seen you do comedy once.

• 20:22Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, paint a fucking waterfall.

• 20:23Speaker 00

  Show me a waterfall. Hump the stool.

• 20:29Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, the, uh, but that was cool. I, I was, it was fun to do. And then I ate my, I punished my friend by giving him curry wings. I'm like, all right, dude.

• 20:35Speaker 00

  Yeah. You want to take me to Buffalo Art Museum? Now, now a little home and home. Now you're on my court. Game two, curry wings.

• 20:45Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it was really, he's actually, he's a really funny guy. He gave, the waitress came out, she's like, how's the pizza? He goes, it's actually horrible. This gluten free crust is.

• 20:51Speaker 00

  He is an art snob, dude.

• 20:55Matt McCusker?

  He was cracking me up. Shout out Ray. It's a beast. But yeah, so I had a good time, man. I had a fun old time. I was done. I think I'm done. My stupid podcast tour. That was exhausting, dude.

• 21:07Speaker 00

  Yeah, it sucks.

• 21:07Matt McCusker?

  Stinks big time, but I had fun. Had a good time doing that, repeating yours. Especially towards the end of it, you get like.

• 21:14Speaker 00

  Repeat the same stories.

• 21:15Matt McCusker?

  Just repeating the same thing. And you're like, well, let me tell you, but you, you've heard the question a hundred times. You're like, let me tell you. Started feeling like a politician.

• 21:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 21:22Matt McCusker?

  I started hitting him, I should have hit him with the Gavin Newsom, just being like, that's interesting. That's, that's really interesting.

• 21:29Matt McCusker?

  Did you see that clip?

• 21:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, I've seen a lot of Gavin.

• 21:31Matt McCusker?

  That's my favorite.

• 21:32Speaker 00

  Gavin.

• 21:33Matt McCusker?

  What was he trying to get at? I don't even want to, like, they asked him about AIPAC, I guess. And he went, huh, that's interesting you bring that up.

• 21:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, he's like, I don't know anything about that. He was basically like, I don't know what that is.

• 21:42Matt McCusker?

  But then, no, then he went.

• 21:43Speaker 00

  What are you talking about?

• 21:43Matt McCusker?

  But he went, but that's interesting. That's, oh, that's very interesting. You bring that up.

• 21:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 21:48Matt McCusker?

  Dude, what are you doing?

• 21:49Speaker 00

  It's nice defense. I'm very interested in that.

• 21:53Matt McCusker?

  I thought, I thought he was being like, what are you up to? I think he's like, oh, wow, okay.

• 21:58Speaker 00

  It's an interesting point. AIPAC. I don't think I've heard of that. I've dealt with other PACs, but I don't know about AIPAC.

• 22:09Matt McCusker?

  It is funny though, if your job is to be full of shit all the time and you just finally bomb it being full of shit. You're like, I can't, my brain's farting out of me. I usually have like a cool way to maneuver around this, just going, well, it's funny you asked me about it.

• 22:23Speaker 00

  In his head, in his head, just.

• 22:24Matt McCusker?

  Jewish guys, really?

• 22:25Speaker 00

  Alarms going off. Come on Gavin, pull out of this.

• 22:29Matt McCusker?

  Talk about infrastructure. They're Jewish, right?

• 22:33Speaker 00

  Are they?

• 22:34Matt McCusker?

  Interesting.

• 22:36Speaker 00

  Huh. Oh, yeah. Well, that is interesting. I never, Jewish.

• 22:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, I guess I have heard of that.

• 22:52Matt McCusker?

  Your little earpiece is like the static. Ah, fuck, ah, help.

• 22:57Speaker 00

  Pull up.

• 22:59Speaker 00

  Pull up.

• 22:59Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it's very, no, hmm, interesting you'd ask me about. There's like turning the tables unsuccessfully.

• 23:05Speaker 00

  The Trump dog though, hit it with the.

• 23:07Matt McCusker?

  Why you guys still, you guys are obsessed. I know, I know.

• 23:13Speaker 00

  Do you get to watch any of the, uh, no kings protest highlights?

• 23:16Matt McCusker?

  I caught a little bit.

• 23:17Speaker 00

  I went into a nice little algorithm. It's fucking crazy.

• 23:20Matt McCusker?

  I had X, I had X on the way home and I was, I was on there watching the no king stuff. It was, uh.

• 23:26Speaker 00

  Did you see the guy get his glasses stolen?

• 23:27Matt McCusker?

  No.

• 23:28Speaker 00

  And fall?

• 23:28Matt McCusker?

  No. From what I understood, it was.

• 23:32Speaker 00

  Took the most brutal fall.

• 23:33Matt McCusker?

  No.

• 23:34Speaker 00

  Ass up.

• 23:35Matt McCusker?

  Who, who snatched his glasses?

• 23:37Speaker 00

  Some fucking liberal punk dude.

• 23:40Matt McCusker?

  Wait, so a liberal punk snatched?

• 23:41Speaker 00

  Uh, geezer, uh, two geezers were walking by, kinda talking shit.

• 23:45Matt McCusker?

  Oh, being like, no.

• 23:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, whatever you fucking queers, fuck you. And then somebody rips his glasses and he tries to chase him.

• 23:50Matt McCusker?

  Oh.

• 23:51Speaker 00

  Falls dude, falls straight to ass up, face down, ass up.

• 23:55Matt McCusker?

  Damn.

• 23:56Speaker 00

  On all fours, dude. Devastating fall.

• 23:59Matt McCusker?

  I, I might've just been getting propagandized through Twitter, but it was really the, the, my algorithm was kinda presenting it to me as a epic liberal fail. Of going to like white people into like.

• 24:08Speaker 00

  It was.

• 24:09Matt McCusker?

  Poor neighborhoods and being like, no kings, no, and everyone there being like, get the fuck out of here.

• 24:13Speaker 00

  Yeah, it was all very embarrassing. They're trying to hit the old playbook.

• 24:16Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 24:16Speaker 00

  Last time. Which even now is like embarrassing to look at.

• 24:20Matt McCusker?

  The what?

• 24:21Speaker 00

  Like, like BLM around there.

• 24:22Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 24:23Speaker 00

  Like those types of protests, when you see footage of it now, you're like, damn, that's so embarrassing.

• 24:27Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, for sure.

• 24:28Speaker 00

  It's like.

• 24:29Matt McCusker?

  Oh, they're trying to run it back.

• 24:30Speaker 00

  Standing in front of cops like.

• 24:32Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 24:32Speaker 00

  It's like, you look like a doofus.

• 24:34Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, truly do, yeah.

• 24:35Speaker 00

  And one of those people, was it crumping?

• 24:39Speaker 00

  It's the worst video you've ever seen in your life.

• 24:41Matt McCusker?

  I didn't see that.

• 24:41Speaker 00

  Dude, they're crumping in front of the police. It's so crazy.

• 24:46Matt McCusker?

  The thing I caught that was making me laugh was when they did a, they did the no kings extension into London. And they did like, they did like, people in England were like, no kings. And then they, I don't know if this is true or not, but they're saying they had to alter it to like, no tyrants for our people that do live under monarch, you know, monarchy led systems. Which is just like, funny to watch it kind of unravel into nonsense.

• 25:07Speaker 00

  Yeah, instantly.

• 25:08Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, but that's, I mean, I don't know, it's, my thing is, is like, dude, I don't live there. So like, what do you think about the National Guard being deployed in like, I don't, I don't fucking live there.

• 25:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 25:17Matt McCusker?

  Depends, you know, if I was there and I was having a tough time, I'd be like, okay, cool.

• 25:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 25:21Matt McCusker?

  If I was there and I didn't want them to be there, I'd be like, there was a kid who like, did a viral Instagram of like, putting on the shicee and being like, the cartels put out $25,000 hits on federal agents head and they immediately like, pulled his account up and he was like, this is fucking bullshit.

• 25:39Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I don't know, man, I, I, uh, yeah, I don't, I don't know, I, I, I mean, it's interesting you bring this up, actually.

• 25:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, I was like, you don't have to talk. You don't have to give any opinion.

• 25:51Matt McCusker?

  No, I, I like the videos of people walking around just for some reason praising the National Guard. That's been my instinct.

• 25:57Speaker 00

  Praising the guard?

• 25:58Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. Well, I've been seeing a lot of old black guys being like, woo wee.

• 26:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 26:03Matt McCusker?

  This is nice. I'm like, cool.

• 26:06Speaker 00

  That's, that's a good algo.

• 26:07Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it's a good, that's my algo right now. I'm like, what are you talking about? People love it there.

• 26:12Speaker 00

  Yeah. If they're stopping and asking for fucking people's papers, that's not great.

• 26:16Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, what kind of papers?

• 26:18Speaker 00

  If there's a lot of murders.

• 26:19Matt McCusker?

  That, well, that's, I was thinking about that on the plane home, I'm like, it is kind of crazy to accept that as like, okay, in any part of America, if there's that many murders.

• 26:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 26:30Matt McCusker?

  To be like, well, that's none of your business. It's like, that, that should be kind of unacceptable in America. They're like, they're gonna take extreme action.

• 26:36Speaker 00

  I always thought that when I'd watch like a horror movie. You know, and like, Michael Myers goes around and kills like 15 people, you can bring in the National Guard. Why do we have two cops? Bring in the military, this happens every fucking Halloween.

• 26:50Matt McCusker?

  A bunch of high school whores.

• 26:51Speaker 00

  Like, why is this up to a bunch of high school whores?

• 26:53Matt McCusker?

  Why are these hot fucking high school sluts?

• 26:57Speaker 00

  Yeah, bring the National Guard, dude.

• 26:59Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that was my big, that was my big take on the airport. I was like, it is shouldn't let, you shouldn't let anywhere get, because they called it a state of emergency in Chester, Pennsylvania, like years and years ago. It got so bad that I think they brought in, I think just state police. They were like, alright, we're just posting police up everywhere because this is, everyone's getting shot. Like the stop signs there were like riddled with bullet holes. It was bad. So I don't know. Yeah, that's, that's my thing. I don't really live there. It's none of my business. If personally, if I saw the National Guard outside my house, I would walk up and say, thank you for your service.

• 27:27Speaker 00

  I'd say, dude.

• 27:28Matt McCusker?

  And they'd say, yo, your dog can't be out here without a leash. I'd be like, no kings, no kings, no kings. Show me that in the Constitution.

• 27:39Matt McCusker?

  No tyrants.

• 27:40Speaker 00

  You're gonna like those highlight videos. It's just old people like singing, making up songs about no kings. It's very good.

• 27:47Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. Getting in on like, yeah, uh, yeah, being 55 and being like, finally, I'm standing up for black America. It's like, oh, good, man. That's good.

• 27:58Matt McCusker?

  You've had a lifetime to do so.

• 28:00Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah. Where were you in the 60s?

• 28:04Matt McCusker?

  That's it.

• 28:06Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, dude, the geezers are getting crushed on Facebook. They, you just scroll the Facebook and just get, their hard drives completely wiped.

• 28:14Speaker 00

  AI's gotta be truly destroying the geezers.

• 28:17Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 28:17Speaker 00

  Cause it's getting to the point where I'm like, that bear's jumping on a trampoline. They got it on a ring camera. Holy shit. Geezers must be getting popped by that.

• 28:27Matt McCusker?

  My brother was setting up, trying to set my dad up to make him think ICE agents were in the driveway.

• 28:33Speaker 00

  That's a good prank.

• 28:35Matt McCusker?

  You could crush my dad with that.

• 28:36Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah?

• 28:37Matt McCusker?

  So easy. I haven't gotten the feedback on, I don't know if he pulled the trigger on it yet, but he's been battling my dad.

• 28:41Speaker 00

  Yeah, Billy was saying he was calling your dad a dem.

• 28:43Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 28:45Speaker 00

  It's fucking nice.

• 28:49Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 28:49Speaker 00

  Yeah, dem's a tough insult.

• 28:51Matt McCusker?

  Bro, crushes the geezers.

• 28:52Speaker 00

  Crushes me, dude. Somebody hits you with a dam, you go, damn, that sucks.

• 28:56Matt McCusker?

  See, we talked about it last week. We both got damned.

• 28:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, we've been damned before.

• 28:59Matt McCusker?

  I'm wait, I'm waiting for the next no kings, bro. I might go down there. Now that I, now that I've said it, I think I made a full 180. I'm completely on the no kings.

• 29:05Speaker 00

  No kings?

• 29:06Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I'm gonna go down, no kings.

• 29:08Speaker 00

  James would be down there, pro kings.

• 29:09Matt McCusker?

  True, he loves kings.

• 29:10Speaker 00

  James loves kings.

• 29:12Matt McCusker?

  Ah, you, you might need a king.

• 29:17Speaker 00

  Dude, my bad. I'm struck with a terrible illness.

• 29:19Matt McCusker?

  You're sick.

• 29:20Speaker 00

  An upper respiratory, some type of cold.

• 29:22Matt McCusker?

  Oh, man.

• 29:23Speaker 00

  It's just a fucking cold, but.

• 29:24Matt McCusker?

  Still stinks, man. How long, how long you had it? That's the question.

• 29:27Speaker 00

  It, it started like a week ago, about a week ago.

• 29:31Matt McCusker?

  Really?

• 29:31Speaker 00

  Couple days, and then it just developed into something bad. At first it was, it was very mild.

• 29:35Matt McCusker?

  Shame it didn't stay in Vegas.

• 29:38Speaker 00

  When I was having fun drinking and partying, the cold was dormant.

• 29:42Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 29:42Speaker 00

  The second I started relaxing and jumped in.

• 29:45Matt McCusker?

  That's interesting.

• 29:46Speaker 00

  It is interesting. Maybe I should have a drink.

• 29:52Speaker 00

  Yeah, I was having a hoot in Vegas.

• 29:54Matt McCusker?

  Were you, yeah.

• 29:54Speaker 00

  Yeah, the chain smokers came to my show and then they were like, do you want to introduce us at our DJ show tonight?

• 29:59Matt McCusker?

  That's sick.

• 30:00Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 30:00Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, definitely.

• 30:01Speaker 00

  On stage at like a rave, I was like, Las Vegas, are you guys ready?

• 30:06Speaker 00

  That's so embarrassing.

• 30:07Matt McCusker?

  Dude, I've been dug in. All I do is I read my book about Vietnam right now. The Vietnam, Vietnam Perkazi book, dude, it's, it's insane. Just the childhood people had back in the sixties and like early fifties is like, you, you just grow up and just your dad would just beat the living shit out of you and then you would like.

• 30:24Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 30:25Matt McCusker?

  The, the way he explained it was really funny because it's like, you have a beer. So you grow up as being like, go to church every day. You're like, I fucking love this country so much. You do atomic bomb drills under your desk. And then you're like, dude, I can't wait to go to war. I want to go to war so bad. And they like, dude, the one kid, the junior year, he's like, yeah, me and my friend just like left and went to California for an entire summer. Just, didn't tell our parents, came back and they're like, dude, we got hookers in Tijuana. It was sick. And then the next thing he knows, he's going to boot camp. And he's like, just thinking like, dude, everyone's going to be so stoked. They're going to high five me and get off. I'll fuck your mother, you fucking shrimp. And he's like, dude, I was just terrified. And next thing I know, I was in the Vietnam jungle just being like, what the fuck is this?

• 31:04Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:04Matt McCusker?

  I didn't know there was urban warfare too in Vietnam.

• 31:06Speaker 00

  Of course.

• 31:07Matt McCusker?

  I didn't know that. I thought it was all just in like the, like the rice paddies and the marshes and shit. And they really, really didn't know who the fuck they were fighting against, kind of.

• 31:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:15Matt McCusker?

  He's like, anyone could have been a suspect at any time. You just do like, regularly like, yeah, run to the store and you just drive a Jeep and someone, your guys, the guy next to you's head would fucking blow off from a sniper. And you just look at you like, there you, there's no, there's just kids and shit around.

• 31:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:28Matt McCusker?

  It was fucked up. And they talk about just like going through and just, eventually just fucking napalming those little hamlets and shit. They're like, because you got so spun out from the whole thing.

• 31:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:37Matt McCusker?

  Then you're there and you're like, yeah, you know, this war is bullshit, right? And you'd be like, what? What are you talking about? It was, it's crazy, man. I was.

• 31:44Speaker 00

  Hit that Ken Burns.

• 31:45Matt McCusker?

  I'll check it out.

• 31:46Speaker 00

  Ken Burns, Vietnam. It's, it's awesome.

• 31:48Matt McCusker?

  I'll check it out. The, the memoir is nice because it's very personal.

• 31:50Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:51Matt McCusker?

  It's funny getting to like know.

• 31:52Speaker 00

  No, this gives you like, the Cameroon's one is, is very personal.

• 31:55Matt McCusker?

  Really?

• 31:55Speaker 00

  It's like a bunch of different people's stories.

• 31:57Matt McCusker?

  Oh.

• 31:58Speaker 00

  And then the overall history of it, but like, it's just guys' personal stories. And a lot of them are like, I grew up all American, like wanted to help the country. Because these guys are all post-World War II. Their parents were World War II.

• 32:10Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 32:11Speaker 00

  So they were all like, we're the, we're the good guys.

• 32:13Matt McCusker?

  Mm-hmm.

• 32:13Speaker 00

  And then they get to Vietnam and find out that they're the bad guys.

• 32:15Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 32:17Speaker 00

  Kind of.

• 32:18Matt McCusker?

  Well, yeah.

• 32:18Speaker 00

  Again, dude, kind of.

• 32:21Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I mean, dude, especially if, yeah, like, he would, in this memoir, it's like, and then this guy showed up and you're like, the guy gets to know that guy. And just out, it's like out of nowhere, steps on a mine, the guy explodes.

• 32:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 32:31Matt McCusker?

  It's fucking crazy. And then it's, yeah, yeah, it was just, it sucked too, because all the guys go, they're like, I want some action, send me out there. And it's just like.

• 32:39Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's the worst.

• 32:40Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, just get shit, like a Russian missile fucking hits you. Like, where the fuck did they get that?

• 32:43Speaker 00

  Kind of go into a tunnel with a flashlight.

• 32:47Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it's like midnight, dude. You have to walk at midnight just to go like scout a location. I do, they like, you would just see tracer bullets like whizzing around.

• 32:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 32:55Matt McCusker?

  All night when you're trying to sleep. It's just things exploding constantly. It's fucking terrible. But the Vietnam Perkasy book is fucking awesome.

• 33:03Speaker 00

  I'll check it out.

• 33:04Matt McCusker?

  That's all I just, I, dude, I just, at night, I just get to my bed at like 9:00 PM and I'm just in war, dude. My wife's trying to come over to my chili pad. I'm like, not right now, dude. I'm dug in right now. We're on a five man.

• 33:14Speaker 00

  I'm in the shit.

• 33:15Matt McCusker?

  We're on a, we're on a five man scouting mission right now.

• 33:17Speaker 00

  Fucking shit, woman. Give me a second.

• 33:21Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it's a pretty brutal stuff.

• 33:23Speaker 00

  Yeah, Vietnam sucked.

• 33:24Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, if I ever see a Vietnam vet again, I'm definitely gonna give him a big high five, pat on the butt.

• 33:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 33:28Matt McCusker?

  It's tough stuff.

• 33:31Matt McCusker?

  Only if he wants me to, obviously.

• 33:33Speaker 00

  But I talked about it before. They do the same thing with that, where they're like, the Vietnamese were, but it's, they never really cover the Vietnamese atrocities.

• 33:39Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I kind of want to read it one.

• 33:41Speaker 00

  They were up to no good.

• 33:42Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, dude.

• 33:43Speaker 00

  Uh, they interview a lot of the Vietcong in the Ken Burns.

• 33:47Matt McCusker?

  Oh, really?

• 33:47Speaker 00

  It's pretty cool, yeah.

• 33:48Matt McCusker?

  I kind of wanted that side of things, too.

• 33:50Speaker 00

  Um, but I was just watching a, like, every historical thing I watch about Native Americans, they're like, they were proud warrior people that fought for their land and did it. And then they're like, and the white man was evil and only thought about war. It's like, well, you just worded it different.

• 34:06Matt McCusker?

  I know.

• 34:08Speaker 00

  Cause they you just said they took their land and dominated.

• 34:10Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 34:11Speaker 00

  Anyway.

• 34:11Matt McCusker?

  No, exactly. There's there's a hunter.

• 34:13Speaker 00

  Why they do that?

• 34:14Matt McCusker?

  Pretty much hunter gatherers. I think it's just, yeah, if you come out and you're like. They're pretty bad. As soon as you start the discussion, everyone's just kind of like, bro, bro, this is not what we're doing right now.

• 34:24Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 34:25Matt McCusker?

  I did. I did a deep dive into kind of like land acknowledgements. Just curious, like, do Native Americans like really even give a shit or is this just like?

• 34:32Speaker 00

  I met a couple that did.

• 34:33Matt McCusker?

  Really?

• 34:34Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 34:34Matt McCusker?

  I I my I would and again, I'm reading like a Reddit thread, but like some of them were like, no, they're just kind of laughable.

• 34:39Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 34:40Matt McCusker?

  They're like, the idea of even owning land was like foreign to us. We don't even it's like the land's our mother. Blah, blah, blah.

• 34:46Speaker 00

  They can fucking miss me with that, too. They took over the land. They drove other tribes off the land. The fuck?

• 34:52Matt McCusker?

  Well, it's mommy, dude.

• 34:54Speaker 00

  Yeah, get off my mama.

• 34:55Matt McCusker?

  They're just pushing. Yeah, there we go.

• 34:56Speaker 00

  That's my mama.

• 34:57Matt McCusker?

  Get off my mama. Your mama's over there. This is my mama over here.

• 35:00Speaker 00

  Your mama's up north now. You have to live in the snow.

• 35:04Matt McCusker?

  But yeah, I was like reading it and there there was but the whole thing, though, it all boils down to like if you're gonna do a it's a landing acknowledgement, it's just like the tip of the iceberg. What you're supposed to do is do like a landing acknowledgement that then dovetails into like, and also I talk to the people myself. And then it all boils down to like, they have a V M O. If you really like, you're supposed to like, send cash their way after the landing acknowledgement. Which I was just kind of like, okay. There we go.

• 35:30Speaker 00

  Nice.

• 35:31Matt McCusker?

  There you go. Yeah, there's the bottom one. If you want to do a true blue landing acknowledgement, you have to like, first of all, I think you're supposed to like be in talks with the people. I think it's not enough for you to be like, this land was actually blah, blah, blah.

• 35:41Speaker 00

  Great outdoors one in Canada brings. It's like they bring somebody from the tribe.

• 35:46Matt McCusker?

  Really?

• 35:47Speaker 00

  You do a land acknowledgement and then you have to talk to them after. They gave me a nice thing of beads.

• 35:51Matt McCusker?

  Oh.

• 35:52Speaker 00

  Like a sash.

• 35:54Matt McCusker?

  That's nice.

• 35:54Speaker 00

  It's pretty sick.

• 35:55Matt McCusker?

  That's really cool.

• 35:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 35:57Matt McCusker?

  I like that. Where are they?

• 35:58Speaker 00

  Uh, it's in my room.

• 35:59Matt McCusker?

  Nice.

• 36:00Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 36:00Matt McCusker?

  Dude, speaking of beads, I recently. I tried about I tried to do a joke about this, but nobody, no one's having it at all. Did I tell you about the Chinese and like the medieval China tradition and like southern China? Where Marco Polo found out that like in certain provinces, if you were a guest of a Chinese household, you would be urged by the husband to have sex with his wife and all of his daughters.

• 36:22Speaker 00

  Yes, you told me about this.

• 36:23Matt McCusker?

  Dude, I didn't. I I thought it was just like his wife. It's the all. They would leave for three days. I did more investigations into this.

• 36:30Speaker 00

  Well, the hottest tradition you've ever heard.

• 36:33Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'm sure you did some real deep dives.

• 36:37Matt McCusker?

  Well, I looked it up the one time. I like stumbled upon it. I just like stumbled upon the information. I swear to God, they were like, you would have to like, it was like, um, I mean, this is why I don't think it works on stage because it's tough to phrase it, but it's like, they said originally, like the wife would choose if she wanted to have sex with you. Then I looked back into it and Grok was like, dude, yeah, right. But, but, but it's deep, it goes deeper than that though, because apparently back then,

• 37:04Matt McCusker?

  in certain provinces, the more sexual partners your daughters had, the more desirable of a bride she would be. They damn flipped the thing on their, on the head. So like you would, like Marco Polo, whoever, which by the way, Marco Polo stayed there for 17 years. Go figure. And then, but you'd have to present them with a small gift, like a bead or something. That's what it reminds, that's why you reminded me. And then on your, on your wedding, on your wedding night, your bride would hit you with all of her little sex gifts. And the more you saw, you'd be like, yes. So as a father, it was the opposite. You wanted your wife, you wanted your, well, your, your wife, but also your daughters have as many sexual partners as possible. Because then it was like, she was experienced and she would make a better bride. It was like tied to some weird fertility cult stuff from like way back in the day.

• 37:48Matt McCusker?

  So I think, and then, but I think in another part of China, they were like, we are not down with that shit at all. I think it for, yeah.

• 37:54Speaker 00

  Marco should have been like, here's the real deal.

• 37:56Matt McCusker?

  Ah, I think Marco was like, let me get to the, I am a travel writer. I'm a travel writer after all.

• 38:01Speaker 00

  He was Bourdain.

• 38:02Matt McCusker?

  I didn't, yeah, I didn't realize he was there for 17 fucking years. He's in China forever.

• 38:06Speaker 00

  I didn't know he was there that long.

• 38:07Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, dude. Like, cause he wrote a whole book where he talks about like, you know, his, all of his adventures and, uh, yeah, people, then people get like, oh, that's just him romanticizing, but it's just like, dude, I don't know. Why would he fucking, that'd be a crazy tall tale.

• 38:18Speaker 00

  Getting hit with the gifts on the wedding night would be like, oh shit.

• 38:22Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, but it was, that was their whole, that was the world where you'd be like, this is sick. So that's the thing.

• 38:28Speaker 00

  Of course.

• 38:29Matt McCusker?

  So it wasn't even like, it was like, imagine, like your, your dad would be like, oh shit, here comes a traveler. Some filthy Italian guy and just go, here, come into my house. The dad would walk, just leave for three days and it was, I don't, I'm being respectful. It was free use.

• 38:44Speaker 00

  Don't get me started.

• 38:45Matt McCusker?

  For three fucking days.

• 38:46Speaker 00

  Talking Asian free use?

• 38:47Matt McCusker?

  With a whole Chinese family.

• 38:49Speaker 00

  You're talking Chinese moms and daughters free use?

• 38:51Matt McCusker?

  Yes, dude. For beads.

• 38:54Matt McCusker?

  For beads.

• 38:55Speaker 00

  For beads.

• 38:55Matt McCusker?

  And then the, the women of the house would hang a hat on the door. So that, that was like the father would like walk by the door and see the hat on and be like, sick. And then just walk, just leave for two more days. And then finally the hat would be gone after like three, four days and he would come back to his house and be like, "Hey, guys."

• 39:12Speaker 00

  Hey.

• 39:13Matt McCusker?

  Fucking wild, man.

• 39:14Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's tough.

• 39:15Matt McCusker?

  Isn't that wild?

• 39:16Speaker 00

  Sure. How do you not have other people's kids?

• 39:19Matt McCusker?

  Hmm. I don't know. Maybe, uh, maybe that's where, apparently this was, uh, and again, this is all internet stuff. They said it was more so the Uyghurs. So maybe that's why those Uyghurs are so fucking light-skinned, dude. So, yeah, pretty wild. Wild and crazy stuff.

• 39:34Speaker 00

  They didn't have to say it was put it on the Uyghurs?

• 39:36Matt McCusker?

  Well, they were like that. It was some of that area.

• 39:38Speaker 00

  The Uyghurs went from that to fucking Islam?

• 39:40Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 39:40Speaker 00

  I mean, that, you know, that'll bring you to Islam.

• 39:44Matt McCusker?

  Again, this is all like very, you know, not the deepest internet research. It was only in certain provinces.

• 39:50Speaker 00

  Sounds like this fucking hippie mumbo jumbo.

• 39:52Matt McCusker?

  It's not hippie mumbo jumbo. Dude, Marco Polo is like, there is this total opposite.

• 39:55Speaker 00

  I know that, but I'm saying like, uh, when they're like in, back in early civilization, women ruled and we had sex with everyone. And sexuality was made up.

• 40:04Matt McCusker?

  No, they're pretty clear. They were like, this was not up to women at all.

• 40:06Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 40:07Matt McCusker?

  But I know what you mean. You're like.

• 40:08Speaker 00

  Multiple partners is totally acceptable.

• 40:10Matt McCusker?

  I've heard that shit where there's like.

• 40:11Speaker 00

  That poly bullshit.

• 40:12Matt McCusker?

  Dude, people will hit that like, you know, they're actually were women-led societies, blah, blah, and it's like, whenever you go, okay, give me one, name one. Name one. It's well, it's well documented.

• 40:21Speaker 00

  It's well documented. There was certain tribes where, uh, the men did the cooking and women hunted.

• 40:26Matt McCusker?

  Women hunted buffalo and just fucked guys like season three of True, or season four of True Detective. Yeah, I've, uh, I've heard that. I have read people that say like that, like way, way, way back before agriculture, there were, or maybe during the beginning of agriculture, there were female, like where they were just like, well, that's where babies come from. These guys are the rulers. But, but then I think it was like the desert people were more patriarchal.

• 40:49Speaker 00

  Yeah, this is all made up.

• 40:51Matt McCusker?

  Take it up with Joseph Campbell.

• 40:52Speaker 00

  Before agriculture, you're talking about what societies were like? They have no idea.

• 40:55Matt McCusker?

  Take it up with Joseph Campbell.

• 40:56Speaker 00

  I'll punch Joseph Campbell. I'm gonna punch him, dude.

• 41:02Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I don't know.

• 41:03Speaker 00

  I don't hear one person tell me about anything pre agriculture.

• 41:06Matt McCusker?

  Dude, I don't know. I don't know how they.

• 41:08Speaker 00

  Just made up.

• 41:08Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that's a fair point.

• 41:09Speaker 00

  Fully made up.

• 41:10Matt McCusker?

  That's a fair point. I don't know, though, dude, cuz like we knew, like.

• 41:14Speaker 00

  We don't know shit.

• 41:16Matt McCusker?

  We knew like the, what the Greeks and the Jews were all patriarchy.

• 41:19Speaker 00

  That's way after agriculture.

• 41:20Matt McCusker?

  So that's way after ag.

• 41:22Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 41:22Matt McCusker?

  Fuck, yeah, I don't know. I'll do.

• 41:24Speaker 00

  Way after.

• 41:24Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, true. That was a long time.

• 41:26Speaker 00

  Buildings and shit.

• 41:27Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, you're right. You're right.

• 41:28Speaker 00

  No, pre agriculture is.

• 41:29Matt McCusker?

  Sean, look up, look up women-led societies in the dawn of civilization.

• 41:33Speaker 00

  Oh, there's gonna be a lot. You're gonna find a lot of lies.

• 41:37Matt McCusker?

  I wanna see how they prove it, though. That's what I'm curious about as well.

• 41:39Speaker 04

  I'll keep looking it up, but they had a bunch that I, you know, I never heard of none of that stuff before.

• 41:44Matt McCusker?

  Like who?

• 41:45Speaker 04

  Let me see, uh.

• 41:48Speaker 04

  Iroquois tribes, the Mosu in China.

• 41:53Matt McCusker?

  Hmm.

• 41:54Speaker 04

  Certain African societies.

• 41:56Matt McCusker?

  So the girls would be like, here's what we're doing? Or like, how do they really hold that down?

• 42:00Speaker 04

  I think it's different in like.

• 42:02Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'd like to hear about the Iroquois.

• 42:04Speaker 04

  Clan mothers were in the Iroquois, apparently. Um.

• 42:11Speaker 04

  And they appointed or removed male chiefs. So like, I guess they had like a momma son.

• 42:16Speaker 00

  The leader.

• 42:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, I guess so.

• 42:17Speaker 00

  It was a guy.

• 42:19Matt McCusker?

  Okay.

• 42:22Matt McCusker?

  That's a fair point.

• 42:23Speaker 04

  I don't know.

• 42:24Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 42:25Matt McCusker?

  But then who's really the chief?

• 42:27Speaker 00

  The chief.

• 42:28Matt McCusker?

  True.

• 42:28Speaker 00

  The chief.

• 42:29Speaker 04

  The guy is.

• 42:32Matt McCusker?

  Dang, it would suck if your wife removed you from chief.

• 42:36Speaker 00

  That would be tough.

• 42:37Matt McCusker?

  That would be so tough.

• 42:38Speaker 00

  That would be tough. You'd have to fight her.

• 42:39Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 42:42Matt McCusker?

  Okay, well, good research.

• 42:43Speaker 00

  Good research.

• 42:45Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, cuz I, that is a good point, though, cuz I was like, how the fuck do these people talk about this stuff?

• 42:49Speaker 00

  It's like pre-written.

• 42:52Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 42:52Speaker 00

  History. They're just.

• 42:53Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 42:54Speaker 00

  They find like tools and old campsites and they're like, the woman was probably in that room.

• 42:59Matt McCusker?

  They pick it up and they go, this is pretty fucking like this girl tool.

• 43:02Speaker 00

  Girl tool. This one had a lot of beads on it in its tomb slut.

• 43:06Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, true.

• 43:09Matt McCusker?

  It is funny to find like scraps of beads and be like, in this house, the daughters would be sitting there. Marco Polo would fuck them. As long as he wanted. This episode is brought to you by AG1. Dude, real quick, gotta tell you guys about this.

  Yeah, the whole having sex with an entire Chinese family is, man, that's, that's crazy.

• 44:53Speaker 00

  That's what's up.

• 44:54Matt McCusker?

  It's crazy to think about.

• 44:55Speaker 00

  That's what's up.

• 44:56Matt McCusker?

  It's interesting.

• 44:56Speaker 00

  It's interesting. I've never really thought about free use on an entire family. I've never really thought about free use in a family.

• 45:05Matt McCusker?

  So the father would bring you in the house and leave for three? That's very interesting. And what would you do again? Remind me?

• 45:11Speaker 00

  They would just go about their chores and you would have your way with them while they were working, maybe doing the dishes?

• 45:15Matt McCusker?

  And then?

• 45:16Speaker 00

  That is interesting.

• 45:17Matt McCusker?

  At the end of the day, at the end of the day, it was, the father was happy about it. That's, yeah, mm, yeah, I've never heard of that before.

• 45:24Speaker 00

  No, I've never watched that.

• 45:27Speaker 00

  Fucking three times a week.

• 45:32Matt McCusker?

  But yeah, yeah, poor, uh, man, Marco Polo, man, what a, what a guy.

• 45:37Speaker 00

  Hell of a run.

• 45:37Matt McCusker?

  Guy's guy, truly a guy's guy.

• 45:39Speaker 00

  That's a guy's guy.

• 45:41Matt McCusker?

  But it's so funny.

• 45:42Speaker 00

  I think, I think Genghis Khan was into some free use himself.

• 45:45Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. He was on a free use, a mad one, bro. He put, he put in like the contra infinite.

• 45:50Speaker 00

  He was on the ultimate free use.

• 45:51Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, bro. Isn't like 25% of China regulated the Genghis?

• 45:55Speaker 00

  Everyone's related to Genghis.

• 45:57Matt McCusker?

  Crap. I think Marco Polo chilled with Kublai Khan, actually.

• 46:00Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 46:01Matt McCusker?

  I think he, I think he rubbed out, I think he was like in Kublai Khan's fucking, uh, yeah. He chilled with the Khan himself. That must have been fucking so crazy going to a completely different world with no idea what was going on over there.

• 46:14Speaker 00

  And I think Kublai was about to start fucking shit up, like really not doing great.

• 46:18Matt McCusker?

  Oh, no.

• 46:19Speaker 00

  Yeah, once Genghis died, I think they, they just short, I could be wrong, Kublai might have done well.

• 46:24Matt McCusker?

  I think he was rocking, but again, with the, from what I.

• 46:26Speaker 00

  He was off his daddy, dude. He was still, he might have been a bit of a Shane O'Mac, though.

• 46:30Matt McCusker?

  True.

• 46:31Speaker 00

  I think he was still doing stunts. I think he was still stunting on him, but he was no Vince.

• 46:35Matt McCusker?

  I, dude, I'm so happy you opened my eyes to Shane O'Mac, cause I, I, I left off of him when I was like 10, being like, I hate that guy.

• 46:41Speaker 00

  I left off with being like, yo, fuck Shane O'Mac, fucking pussy. And then you see the highlights, you go, damn, this guy was giving it his all.

• 46:48Matt McCusker?

  When you brought up Shane O'Mac to me, I, for real, I had to stop. I almost turned around and jacked your collar, like, what are you saying? What do you mean you like him? You mean he's cool?

• 46:56Speaker 00

  I understand. Of course, dude, you don't think I, I had a deep hatred for him. There's one other guy on earth named Shane, and he's a fucking pussy. And then I was wrong. He was the man.

• 47:09Matt McCusker?

  He's, dude, I mean, those cages have to be, let me ask you, what is the exact height on those things? It looks to me like 30 something feet.

• 47:16Speaker 03

  25 feet.

• 47:17Matt McCusker?

  That's crazy, bro.

• 47:19Speaker 03

  Yeah, they're high as hell.

• 47:20Matt McCusker?

  25 feet.

• 47:21Speaker 00

  Some of those are jumping off, were like 40 feet.

• 47:23Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, one of them looked super high.

• 47:25Speaker 00

  No, they're like side of the fucking Titan Tron, dude.

• 47:29Matt McCusker?

  Yes. Fuck, that's what that was?

• 47:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 47:32Matt McCusker?

  Oh my god, dude. Yeah, that's, I didn't know.

• 47:36Speaker 00

  Also, you didn't know about Versus commercials?

• 47:38Matt McCusker?

  I didn't know about that. I didn't know what Versus was.

• 47:40Speaker 00

  Versus.

• 47:41Matt McCusker?

  I thought it was where two old rappers go head to head.

• 47:43Speaker 00

  No. No, it's a fishing channel. Fishing and Pac 12 football.

• 47:50Matt McCusker?

  And rodeo.

• 47:50Speaker 00

  Like Mountain West basketball.

• 47:52Matt McCusker?

  Oh. Yeah, those commercials, those fucking runs are crazy. So intense. And what year was that? They were way ahead of their time.

• 47:59Speaker 00

  That was probably like 05, 06.

• 48:03Matt McCusker?

  Way ahead of time.

• 48:04Speaker 00

  Yeah, they're making some.

• 48:06Matt McCusker?

  What?

• 48:07Speaker 00

  Shout out to whoever made that. Versus, go to YouTube and type in Versus commercials.

• 48:12Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, man, it was.

• 48:13Speaker 00

  Just putting together just the best locker room speeches you've ever heard.

• 48:16Matt McCusker?

  Unbelievable, man.

• 48:17Speaker 00

  Just get fired up. And the funny thing though is during the commercial, it'll cut to like a hunting highlight.

• 48:21Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 48:21Speaker 00

  And that makes me laugh.

• 48:22Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 48:22Speaker 00

  It's like, it's you versus them, you versus history. And then it cuts to like a scope on a deer that's like, what the fuck did I do?

• 48:31Speaker 00

  Second place, deer.

• 48:35Matt McCusker?

  True, you put it that way. That does, second place does stink if you get eaten.

• 48:39Speaker 00

  Maybe you like flies in your soup.

• 48:44Matt McCusker?

  I like second place like I like a fly in my soup. Not at all.

• 48:49Speaker 00

  It's good stuff.

• 48:50Matt McCusker?

  That was great stuff.

• 48:51Speaker 00

  Yes. Okay, okay. A quick break from the show for a special segment called More or Less Hoops Edition. And it's brought to you by PrizePix. Right. So before we get into this, how confident are you with your picks? Because PrizePix now offers stacks. Meaning you can pick the same player up to three times in the same lineup. Want to pick more on Steph Curry's points, three pointers and assists? Now you can pick all of them with the same lineup, only on PrizePix. So who's looking sharp? And who's just like a pedestrian on the court, you know? Matt, who do you think?

• 49:25Matt McCusker?

  I would, I would do the, uh, the stack with Steph Curry's points, three pointers and assists.

• 49:30Speaker 00

  You like the stack with Steph Curry?

• 49:31Matt McCusker?

  I like that, that's.

• 49:32Speaker 00

  I do, I do like Steph Curry.

• 49:34Matt McCusker?

  Me too. I think he's a very talented player.

• 49:36Speaker 00

  Who else do you like?

• 49:37Speaker 06

  It's very interesting.

• 49:39Speaker 00

  Interesting. It's interesting. I've never thought of it like that.

• 49:42Speaker 06

  I would pick Embiid for, I would stack him up, pause with rebounds.

• 49:48Speaker 00

  You'd stack his boards.

• 49:50Speaker 06

  I would do boards, points, blocks.

• 49:52Speaker 00

  You'd stack him up?

• 49:53Speaker 06

  Yeah, I'd stack him.

• 49:54Speaker 00

  Yeah, I like it. Okay, so that's our take. Now it's time to lock in yours with PrizePicks. Don't just stan your faves, which Matt, I gotta be honest, you're stan'ing your faves.

  I can't fucking wait.

• 50:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, I wish Jared McCain was healthy. Didn't he hurt his fucking thumb now?

• 50:54Speaker 06

  Yeah, he's going through a hard time, but he's gonna come back. He's gonna be great. VJ's gonna be, I think VJ's.

• 51:00Speaker 00

  Who are the 76ers playing?

• 51:01Speaker 06

  Uh, Celtics.

• 51:02Speaker 00

  Oh, nice.

• 51:03Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's a good game one.

• 51:04Speaker 00

  Fuck the Celtics.

• 51:05Speaker 06

  Fuck the Celtics. And, uh, I mean that with my whole heart and I, I, I do think we got them. Now, this is a lot. I think we got them though. Joe's playing, Paul's not playing, no McCain, but I think we got them.

• 51:19Speaker 00

  Be alright.

• 51:19Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 51:20Speaker 00

  How's Maxey?

• 51:21Speaker 06

  Maxey's looking the best he's ever looked, Paul's.

• 51:23Speaker 00

  Great.

• 51:24Speaker 06

  But, I said Paul's, it's okay.

• 51:28Matt McCusker?

  No, it's totally fair.

• 51:29Speaker 00

  Jared McCain's looking as good as he's ever looked.

• 51:32Speaker 06

  No Paul's on that.

• 51:32Speaker 00

  No Paul's.

• 51:33Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 51:34Speaker 00

  Read.

• 51:37Speaker 06

  They got the black jerseys?

• 51:38Speaker 00

  The black jerseys look nice. I was against them at first. The black jerseys look nice.

• 51:42Matt McCusker?

  Sixers going black jersey?

• 51:43Speaker 00

  Yeah, they're bringing back like the AI.

• 51:44Matt McCusker?

  I remember those. They're fucking awesome.

• 51:46Speaker 00

  I wish they brought back the true AIs like that were like, eh, like N1.

• 51:50Speaker 06

  Oh, like giant jersey?

• 51:52Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 51:53Matt McCusker?

  Everybody has to wear baggy shorts.

• 51:55Speaker 00

  Joel would look good in that.

• 51:56Speaker 06

  I was just gonna say Joel would look good, didn't he think, but?

• 51:59Speaker 00

  I love Joel.

• 52:00Speaker 06

  I love Joel.

• 52:02Speaker 00

  You're ready to get fooled again, dude. You're ready. Your heart's back in. I get it. I get it. That's just being a sports fan, dude. Week one, every year, you go, dude, I think we're gonna win it.

• 52:15Speaker 06

  All, all offseason, I've been like, they're gonna be so bad. Who cares? I'm barely gonna watch. That's all I'm thinking about.

• 52:23Speaker 00

  I've seen the Sixers hype start growing again.

• 52:25Matt McCusker?

  That's good.

• 52:26Speaker 06

  It's cuz Joe's healthy. When he's healthy, it's just like, we can do anything.

• 52:30Matt McCusker?

  How many years you think he has left in him?

• 52:32Speaker 00

  Okay, well, we'll see how this one goes.

• 52:34Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah.

• 52:35Speaker 00

  If he's not healthy this year.

• 52:37Speaker 06

  Then it might be it.

• 52:38Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 52:39Speaker 06

  But if he is, I think he's got it.

• 52:41Speaker 00

  He's got two or three. If he's healthy.

• 52:43Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 52:44Speaker 00

  Just gotta rest him. Do we have a backup center?

• 52:46Speaker 06

  We, we got two. Bona, Dem Bona looks good. He's young. He's, he's.

• 52:50Matt McCusker?

  What's his name?

• 52:50Speaker 00

  Bona.

• 52:51Speaker 06

  A Dem Bona. A Dem Bona.

• 52:54Speaker 00

  Dem Bonas.

• 52:55Matt McCusker?

  Dem Bonas. We need Dem Bonas.

• 52:58Speaker 00

  Dem Bonas is coming in.

• 53:01Matt McCusker?

  So wait, so just to recap, you said Dem Bona's looking good?

• 53:07Speaker 06

  Bona's looking pretty good right now.

• 53:10Speaker 00

  All right, we got good Dem Bonas. What else we got? What's the, what's the other backup's name? Guy's Butt? You got Guy's Butts and Dem Bonas.

  Uh, I did Drubba. I wish you would say.

• 53:30Speaker 00

  All right, we got Drubba.

• 53:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, we got Drubba.

  Nice. It's coming to my attention, there's a tall Asian feller too, kicking around the league again.

• 53:36Speaker 06

  Is there?

• 53:36Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, there's a super tall Asian guy.

• 53:40Matt McCusker?

  But he's black, he wouldn't have stood out as.

  Eadie's the man.

• 53:55Matt McCusker?

  Tall as hell, right?

• 53:56Speaker 00

  Hung out with him a couple times. He's the man.

• 53:57Matt McCusker?

  I heard he's really good. Someone was hitting me with some, some of his highlights.

• 54:00Speaker 00

  He's awesome.

• 54:00Matt McCusker?

  Well, it's funny, it's like, wait till you see this guy. And it was just very like, he's just tall man basketball.

• 54:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 54:05Matt McCusker?

  He's like, ah, this is a good example.

• 54:06Speaker 00

  I took a picture with him. I looked like a, literally just a short, fat lesbian. If you get rid of my height, I look fucking insane. I was coming up to like his stomach. I was like.

• 54:16Matt McCusker?

  I never, I've never thought of that.

• 54:18Speaker 00

  I look exactly like the Megabus logo.

• 54:21Matt McCusker?

  Cause he's seven feet, right?

• 54:22Speaker 00

  Yeah. Fuck. He's taller than that.

• 54:25Matt McCusker?

  That's bullshit. You should be like, bro, you gotta take me.

• 54:27Speaker 00

  This is what I look like in the picture. The mega, I'm the Megabus logo.

• 54:39Speaker 00

  It's devastating photo.

• 54:41Matt McCusker?

  Oh, fuck.

• 54:42Speaker 00

  I'll find it. I got some good ones of the Ocon man the other day. Ocon man's gut was out.

• 54:50Matt McCusker?

  Oh, no.

• 54:51Speaker 00

  He's grinch.

• 54:53Matt McCusker?

  What happened? I thought he was fucking locked in. I thought he was.

• 54:55Speaker 00

  He was not locked in that day.

• 54:59Matt McCusker?

  He looks like the Philly Fanatic, dude.

• 55:01Speaker 00

  He looks insane, dude.

• 55:05Speaker 00

  He'll have, he'll have abs in a fucking week.

• 55:07Matt McCusker?

  He, he's the king of the temporary lock in. Which I mean, I.

• 55:11Speaker 00

  He can gut out like no one.

• 55:13Matt McCusker?

  That's awesome.

• 55:15Speaker 00

  He just gets a huge belly.

• 55:17Matt McCusker?

  I mean, yeah, I guess if you get the six pack fast, you gotta get the belly fast too. It's gotta be both ways.

• 55:21Speaker 00

  I gotta find, I gotta find this one.

• 55:23Matt McCusker?

  I like that though. He looked good with that belly on him.

• 55:25Speaker 00

  I like the belly.

• 55:28Matt McCusker?

  Also, when'd you get that photo?

• 55:30Speaker 00

  That was when I was in Philly. He went to the Eagles game and he was a, he went to the Phillies, then the Eagles, back to back. And the Eagles was at one o'clock. He came, I ran into him, I wasn't drinking at all and I ran into him and I was just like, dude, you need to go home. You're awful. He was, this is how drunk he was. He was falling asleep at the bar. He was trying to watch the rest of the NFL games on his phone.

• 55:51Matt McCusker?

  Beast.

• 55:51Speaker 00

  He went to the bathroom. I would change his phone to, I would YouTube full game 2010, the exact same matchup. And he's just.

• 56:02Speaker 00

  At one point, one point it cut to Tom Brady throwing a touchdown to Wes Welker, like a highlight, and he was like.

• 56:11Speaker 00

  He just watched, he watched 2010 like Bucks Falcons.

• 56:15Matt McCusker?

  You are the devil dude.

• 56:18Matt McCusker?

  That's such a funny thing to do. Oh fuck.

• 56:22Speaker 00

  He's like, what the fuck is this?

• 56:29Speaker 00

  God damn it, I gotta find this picture of me and Eadie.

• 56:31Matt McCusker?

  Oh, that's so fucking funny.

• 56:34Matt McCusker?

  Oh my god.

• 56:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, if someone's significantly taller than me, I look nuts in the photo.

• 56:42Speaker 00

  Soon as we took it, I was like, delete it, delete it.

• 56:48Speaker 00

  No, I think I, I was honorable with that. I posted it on the internet.

• 56:52Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, man, everyone knows.

• 56:53Speaker 00

  It was like, this is hilarious. Everyone's like, you look like a bitch. Fuck you. I'm gonna put down social media.

• 57:02Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it's totally unnecessary. You're like, you don't have to look at it at all.

• 57:05Speaker 00

  Been, literally, it just hurts me now.

• 57:08Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 57:08Speaker 00

  I just go, oh, I'd like to be hurt. Yep. Alright, good.

• 57:12Matt McCusker?

  That's good.

• 57:12Speaker 00

  Three minutes of watching a show, I go, this scene's boring, let's get hurt. Alright. There we go, that one really hurt.

• 57:22Matt McCusker?

  You know, you know, I was in the shower today and I, I, I don't know if it's like the dumbest thing ever, but I was thinking how 97% of people, I think, maybe even 98 are like terrified of public speaking.

• 57:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 57:33Matt McCusker?

  But if you ask anyone, like, would you like to be famous? It's like more than anything ever. It's like, well dude, it's the literal fear of public, you're just being stared at.

• 57:40Speaker 00

  You're constantly perceived.

• 57:41Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. It's a bad feeling.

• 57:43Speaker 00

  It's.

• 57:43Matt McCusker?

  It's bad.

• 57:44Speaker 00

  I, I mean, yeah, unless you're a psycho that likes being perceived.

• 57:47Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, true.

• 57:49Speaker 00

  But I don't like it. I hate it. I've been stricken down with the melancholy, dude. I went for a walk the other day, yesterday, I was, I was going through it. I don't have anyone to even talk to about this stuff.

• 58:03Matt McCusker?

  I got, yeah, true.

• 58:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:05Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I see what I'm saying. I fucking stink. Yeah, I got a message the other day from a lady just going, hey, just so you know, me and my boyfriend watched your special. It sucks so bad. I hate it. And I just watched. I was like, god damn. Like a nice little message from a lady. I said, what the fuck? From a lady? I expect this from a guy, but what the hell? Why do a lady go out of her way to fucking take me down?

• 58:27Speaker 00

  Yeah, lady, lady hurts.

• 58:29Matt McCusker?

  I was like, what are you pulling my pigtails or something?

• 58:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:33Matt McCusker?

  She got me. I gave him the God bless. I went, God bless.

• 58:36Speaker 00

  Yeah, God bless is nice.

• 58:37Matt McCusker?

  God bless, man.

• 58:38Speaker 00

  I hit a lot of God blesses.

• 58:40Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it is God bless. Yeah, it is. It's a weird thing to complain about. Like, dude, you must be on cloud nine. Like, I'm deeply depressed right now.

• 58:46Speaker 00

  That's good. You get that. I get nothing but like, are you all right?

• 58:50Matt McCusker?

  Really?

• 58:50Speaker 00

  Yeah. I get like people like, it must be really hard what you're doing. It must suck. And then you're like, well, there's good parts.

• 58:58Speaker 00

  I like it. I like what I do.

• 59:00Matt McCusker?

  I get a lot like, are you excited? You're like, no. I don't have the same feeling every day. It's just fucking kind of weird anxiety, but.

• 59:07Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's not good. You do have to be a psycho to.

• 59:09Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 59:11Speaker 00

  Enjoy it.

• 59:11Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, to step in and be like.

• 59:13Speaker 00

  And then you're like, I see how Chappelle left for a while.

• 59:16Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 59:17Speaker 00

  There's a daydream all the time where I'm like, if I could leave, I could leave for a few years.

• 59:23Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I think, I also think it's a, yeah, I feel like, yeah, it's not a bad thing.

• 59:27Speaker 00

  I probably will. Give me two more years and I'm.

• 59:29Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 59:31Speaker 00

  Gonna go away for a while.

• 59:32Matt McCusker?

  That'd be nice.

• 59:33Speaker 00

  If I can. A lot of people have a tough time leaving.

• 59:36Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, true.

• 59:36Speaker 00

  You gotta get off the stage for them to want you back on the stage.

• 59:39Matt McCusker?

  That's true.

• 59:40Speaker 00

  You know?

• 59:40Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, but you gotta, but you also gotta do a cool new look. You can't, you gotta go, Letterman grew the beard, dude. You gotta do a cool look. You gotta do something sick, dude.

• 59:53Speaker 00

  I've got it. I'm gonna change the pigmentation of my skin.

• 59:59Speaker 00

  Go away for six years.

• 1:00:04Speaker 00

  Black as hell.

• 1:00:05Matt McCusker?

  So my question was, would you be Shane bad or Shane quick?

• 1:00:10Speaker 00

  We'll see. We'll see if I'm on a weight loss journey while I'm doing it.

• 1:00:15Matt McCusker?

  Shane Rock, Shane Bad or Shane Quick. Or Shane Smith.

• 1:00:19Speaker 00

  Shane Smith.

• 1:00:20Matt McCusker?

  Shane Smith.

• 1:00:20Speaker 00

  I'm coming back bonkers dude. I'm coming back fucking slapping people, screaming.

• 1:00:25Matt McCusker?

  Shane Smith. Not to be confused with the guy who does voice.

• 1:00:30Speaker 00

  True.

• 1:00:32Speaker 00

  Yeah, I think about it.

• 1:00:35Matt McCusker?

  Well, yeah, it'd be nice, but then it's, yeah, like, what would you do if you did a pure sabbatical?

• 1:00:41Speaker 00

  I don't know.

• 1:00:42Matt McCusker?

  Just goom?

• 1:00:44Speaker 00

  Just goom, jack off for five years. That'd be like a monk-like existence. Don't talk to anyone. Just disappear. Go to Madrid, jack off for five years, come back. Black.

• 1:01:00Speaker 00

  Come back black as hell.

• 1:01:06Speaker 00

  I could do it. Chappelle came back jacked. Do you remember that?

• 1:01:08Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, he came back yoked, bro. He came back yoked.

• 1:01:11Speaker 00

  He was too jacked. He came back jacked and his head didn't quite fit.

• 1:01:18Matt McCusker?

  He did get absolutely yoked.

• 1:01:20Speaker 00

  Yeah, when he left, he was so skinny.

• 1:01:22Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. I'd have to, just in honor of that, I'd probably sex change.

• 1:01:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, we'd have to do something.

• 1:01:30Matt McCusker?

  If you're coming back, if you're coming back with a pigmentation therapy.

• 1:01:33Speaker 00

  Wachowski out. The brothers could come back.

• 1:01:40Matt McCusker?

  I could just keep all my normal life. They'd be like, oh shit, there's a guy's a grown man.

• 1:01:47Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:47Speaker 00

  Yeah, we'll see.

• 1:01:48Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, true. True motherfucking act.

• 1:01:51Speaker 00

  Stricken down with the melancholy. And it was, it's probably the sickness as well.

• 1:01:54Matt McCusker?

  Sickness will do it.

• 1:01:55Speaker 00

  And illness will give me some melancholy.

• 1:01:57Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:58Speaker 00

  But we'll be all right.

• 1:02:00Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I mean, you just have to break through to a whole other level. You know what I'm saying?

• 1:02:05Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah. I've thought about it. I've been laying in this room thinking about the changes that need to be made.

• 1:02:13Matt McCusker?

  Total lock-in.

• 1:02:15Speaker 00

  And it starts with getting rid of fake friends.

• 1:02:20Speaker 00

  It's time for me to completely isolate myself. I've reached that level of fame. Now it's isolation.

• 1:02:27Matt McCusker?

  True, you might have to do Luke Skywalker on the mountain.

• 1:02:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:02:30Matt McCusker?

  It'd be sick. You come back and you're like, dude, my dynasty.

• 1:02:32Speaker 00

  I thought about the best Down syndrome joke of all time.

• 1:02:40Matt McCusker?

  Hell, motherfucking yeah.

• 1:02:41Speaker 00

  Yeah, baby.

• 1:02:42Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I, uh, you know what's nice right now for me? I wake up every morning at 6:30 and there's a bunny in my front yard every day. And my dog chases it around for a good like minute and a half and my kids just go nuts every day at 6:30. It's been pretty fun.

• 1:02:56Speaker 00

  That's good stuff.

• 1:02:56Matt McCusker?

  Matilda doesn't, she doesn't try to bite it. She just wants, she's thrilled with the chase. We just get to watch it every morning. I'm like, that's like that and then reading it off Vietnam.

• 1:03:04Speaker 00

  It's coming.

• 1:03:05Matt McCusker?

  Well, she's gonna bite it? I don't think she's gonna bite it, dude.

• 1:03:08Speaker 00

  She's gonna bite that bunny.

• 1:03:08Matt McCusker?

  I'm telling you, she chases frogs. She just, she just, she's all about, she loves the game.

• 1:03:13Speaker 00

  Sniffs them a little?

• 1:03:14Matt McCusker?

  She could get it, dude. If she wanted that bunny, it'd be hers.

• 1:03:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:03:17Matt McCusker?

  But nah, she doesn't, she doesn't fuck with the bunny. She chases it around. My daughter's screaming. I'm like, you guys gotta be quiet, dude. It's still dark out. They're like, ah, a bunny, ah, ah, I'm Matana. So, yeah, they're, they're.

• 1:03:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, having kids would be nice.

• 1:03:30Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that does. That occupies 97% of your brain.

• 1:03:34Speaker 00

  That would help.

• 1:03:34Matt McCusker?

  Which is nice. There's nothing to think about. It's just, you like wake up every morning, they're there, you never sleep. They FaceTime you. Do the dinosaur face. Every, every time I'm traveling, I call them, hey, guys, how you doing? Be a dragon. I have to just put the dragon head filter on and they just go, ha, ha. How you guys? I'm like, how are you guys?

• 1:03:55Speaker 00

  That's good.

• 1:03:55Matt McCusker?

  Uh, do, do the unicorn. Stick out your tongue.

• 1:03:59Speaker 00

  This is what happens when I'm on the road. La Mer FaceTimes me. La Mer FaceTimes me. He's like, will you do dragon? I do. I put him to bed. La Mer goes to bed. He FaceTimes me. I go, you'll be all right. I'll be home. I'll be home, brother.

• 1:04:13Matt McCusker?

  Shane, where are you?

• 1:04:16Matt McCusker?

  What day are you coming home?

• 1:04:17Speaker 00

  Shane, can I jack off in the office again? Yeah. Go ahead, man.

• 1:04:24Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I did, I did like two, one day was a seven day trip and then I had like a week off and I went to, I did like a four to five. They were not happy.

• 1:04:33Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:04:33Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, the Dallas like, I gotta go away again. They went, oh, my car, guys, this kinda sucks. I always tell them I cry. I'm like, guys, I'm gonna cry again. They're like, don't cry. I was like, all right, if you guys don't cry, I won't cry. And then I, you know,

• 1:04:46Speaker 00

  Trick them.

• 1:04:46Matt McCusker?

  It's been working, yeah.

• 1:04:47Speaker 00

  You get in the car, you go, free time.

• 1:04:52Matt McCusker?

  Now I can work on my laptop.

• 1:04:53Speaker 00

  Now I can fuck around.

• 1:04:54Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, but I, I feel crazy, dude. When I like, cause I go to a hotel room and I'm so used to there being a million things going on. When it's like quiet, I get like the heebie jeebies. I just sit there and I go, what the fuck?

• 1:05:05Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:05:06Matt McCusker?

  Especially coming straight.

• 1:05:07Speaker 00

  Real heebie jeebies.

• 1:05:08Matt McCusker?

  This is the real.

• 1:05:08Speaker 00

  Hotel room, you go.

• 1:05:10Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:11Speaker 00

  Where the fuck am I?

• 1:05:12Matt McCusker?

  Dude, yeah, man. Especially when you come out from, you do the two shows. It's just like, you're like, like vibrating. And then it's like ice cold, quiet hotel room. And it's like, dude, I don't feel like watching. If I like go to watch TV, I just flicker through a menu of Netflix and I go, I, I just turn it off.

• 1:05:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:05:30Matt McCusker?

  And then I go, I'm just gonna lay down until I fall asleep. And then my body's just throttled with adrenaline. It's just, all roads truly do lead to the hub, dude. When you're in a hotel room, it's, it's, it's terrible.

• 1:05:40Speaker 00

  You gotta have about 20 beers and then you gotta watch, uh, Ruud van Nistelrooy, all goals scored for Manchester United. That's a good 40 minutes.

• 1:05:51Matt McCusker?

  You really do see the drinking, cause you go like, I gotta do something.

• 1:05:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:05:54Matt McCusker?

  I gotta, I'm back in this room by myself. I'm completely charged up.

• 1:05:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:05:58Matt McCusker?

  I just, I literally go right back.

• 1:06:00Speaker 00

  Get back into acid. That shit rocked.

• 1:06:03Matt McCusker?

  Acid fucking ruled.

• 1:06:04Speaker 00

  To find another time in the future to.

• 1:06:05Matt McCusker?

  Yes, for sure. Earlier, take it earlier, too.

• 1:06:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:06:09Matt McCusker?

  That'd be nice. So we didn't have to.

• 1:06:10Speaker 00

  So we can go to bed, hopefully.

• 1:06:12Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. Or even, you know, even if you went to bed by three, that'd be great.

• 1:06:15Speaker 00

  Be a victory.

• 1:06:15Matt McCusker?

  Staying up all night on that stuff and flying home was not the fucking recipe for.

• 1:06:19Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:06:20Matt McCusker?

  That was dude, that airport was, I woke up, that would, talk about going to the airport early, that day I woke up, walked around, I didn't even, I barely slept, I just walked around with a suitcase around Chicago like a fucking crazy person. Went to the, went to the airport so early, and I for some reason like wouldn't eat, I was like, no, food would not be the move, and I just, it was, yeah, it was a weird time. It was a weird day.

• 1:06:40Speaker 00

  Weird time.

• 1:06:41Matt McCusker?

  Weird day of my life.

• 1:06:43Speaker 00

  It was a weird.

• 1:06:43Matt McCusker?

  I was so happy to be back in the natural rhythm. I had been like, no, no more coffee, nothing, sunrise, sunset, if I can just inhabit those days, that'll be nice, and you know, already back on the devil bean.

• 1:06:56Speaker 00

  Don't worry about the bean dude.

• 1:06:57Matt McCusker?

  It's fine, I have the bean, the bean's on, the bean's under control for sure. Dude, I got fucking, did you ever get carsick?

• 1:07:02Speaker 00

  I'm gonna have an intervention for you.

• 1:07:03Matt McCusker?

  For the bean?

• 1:07:04Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:07:04Matt McCusker?

  Dude.

• 1:07:04Speaker 00

  We're gonna sit you down and be like, dude, you've had too many beans.

• 1:07:07Matt McCusker?

  Call the wife, call my wife, she'll lead it.

• 1:07:08Speaker 00

  I'll do it.

• 1:07:09Matt McCusker?

  She's like, you get so mean when you're on caffeine.

• 1:07:11Speaker 00

  When you're on the bean?

• 1:07:12Matt McCusker?

  I need it, shut up.

• 1:07:13Speaker 00

  When you're on the bean.

• 1:07:18Matt McCusker?

  Dude, I got, I got carsick for the first time in my life.

• 1:07:21Speaker 00

  That sucks.

• 1:07:21Matt McCusker?

  The electric Mustang, it's only that car, I was in the electric Mustang and I was just like, sitting there, I'm like, oh my god, I feel fucking awful, and again, I like, I'd beaned up pretty hard.

• 1:07:32Speaker 00

  Who the fuck's driving an electric Mustang?

• 1:07:34Matt McCusker?

  Uber driver.

• 1:07:34Speaker 00

  Damn.

• 1:07:35Matt McCusker?

  So I'm like in that thing, dude, it goes, it just rockets forward and they let go the gas, it stops.

• 1:07:39Speaker 00

  Yeah, stops right there. Yeah.

• 1:07:41Matt McCusker?

  I was fucking dying dude in there. And then I, I was like, I thought it was the coffee, I was like, dude, what the, am I like, what the fuck's going on? I felt sick, I had a headache.

• 1:07:51Speaker 00

  It's the fucking bean, you're having withdrawals from the bean.

• 1:07:53Matt McCusker?

  I thought it was the bean, and then, then it was, it was brought to my attention that the electric Mustangs are notorious for, it was like a forty-five minute ride.

• 1:08:00Speaker 00

  That sucks.

• 1:08:01Matt McCusker?

  Oh, I was trapped, I was dying, I was truly fucking dying, so, it was, it was, you know, look out for that.

• 1:08:07Speaker 00

  I'll keep an eye on that.

• 1:08:08Matt McCusker?

  If you get the electric Mustang Uber, careful.

• 1:08:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, that would fire me up. The only time I ever drove a Tesla was doing that.

• 1:08:15Matt McCusker?

  Really?

• 1:08:16Speaker 00

  And I guess you can adjust the settings to make it kind of come to a rolling stop.

• 1:08:19Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:20Speaker 00

  I did not, so it was just, the whole fucking drive.

• 1:08:23Matt McCusker?

  I think if you're driving, I think it's better though if you're driving, when you're not driving, I was in the backseat, I've never, I thought it was like a fake girl disease dude, I got for real, got motion sickness. That's what I thought it was.

• 1:08:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:08:33Matt McCusker?

  Till I got stricken with it and I said, holy fuck.

• 1:08:35Speaker 00

  Car sickness is definitely babies and girls.

• 1:08:38Matt McCusker?

  Oh yeah, big time. I get, that's, that's the number one post-fight, driving in post-fight silence, that's how the cold war on, they'll go.

• 1:08:47Matt McCusker?

  What, what? I have motion sickness. You're like, fucking Jesus, fucking Christ. What the fuck kind of abuse is this? This is a new form of abuse. Do you want me to, there's nothing you can do.

• 1:09:00Speaker 00

  The only thing you can do is speed up.

• 1:09:08Matt McCusker?

  Your exit's coming up. I thought you had fucking motion sickness.

• 1:09:11Speaker 00

  Our exit's coming up. We're going right into a pillar. This is our last exit.

• 1:09:19Matt McCusker?

  But yeah, that's, I'm happy to be back now, not doing a million podcasts. That makes your brain feel kinda crazy.

• 1:09:25Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:09:25Matt McCusker?

  After a while, just nonstop of like, yeah, so, oh yeah. Oh yes, for sure.

• 1:09:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, I don't, I don't wanna do any more podcasts.

• 1:09:33Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:33Speaker 00

  Other than this one.

• 1:09:34Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:35Speaker 00

  I don't like giving opinions.

• 1:09:37Matt McCusker?

  True.

• 1:09:38Speaker 00

  Done, I don't have any more opinions. I said them all, eight years ago. I haven't thought of anything new.

• 1:09:44Matt McCusker?

  I haven't changed. Yeah, there's really, uh, also too now, it's, uh, it's too high stakes. There's a big moral shell game going on.

• 1:09:55Speaker 00

  Opinions I have.

• 1:09:56Matt McCusker?

  I know.

• 1:09:56Speaker 00

  Flux weights day to day. But you could catch me after a long night of watching Nick Fuentes highlights on Instagram. And I'm gonna give you some crazy opinions.

• 1:10:05Matt McCusker?

  Also, when I really, when I ever-

• 1:10:06Speaker 00

  Depends what algorithm I got.

• 1:10:08Matt McCusker?

  I know. Whenever, when I sit down to think about it, it's like, how do I really think? Whenever I go, honestly, how do you really think, feel about this? At the root of it, I go, I genuinely have no idea.

• 1:10:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:10:18Matt McCusker?

  Like, I don't know how it works. I don't know anything about it. Most of this is just me wanting something to be true, or having a, like, an automatic reaction where I go, yeah. And as soon as I investigate it myself, like, like, how do you really think? It goes, yeah, I'm kinda full of shit on this. I have no, I have genuinely no idea. I just have my biases and I just go, yeah, well, fucking, I don't know. That's how, that's how I feel about that.

• 1:10:41Speaker 00

  That's how I operate.

• 1:10:42Matt McCusker?

  And I've seen a lot of videos that support that. And there we go, we're done.

• 1:10:46Matt McCusker?

  But yeah, now dude, you get into the uh, there's a lot of like demonology talk now with tech billionaires.

• 1:10:52Speaker 00

  I have seen Peter too.

• 1:10:53Matt McCusker?

  The Antichrist, yeah.

• 1:10:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:10:55Matt McCusker?

  And there Tucker had a guy on too that was talking about like, he had Alex Jones and this other guy talking about.

• 1:11:00Speaker 00

  Jones one.

• 1:11:00Matt McCusker?

  Jones one was nice. I listened to that on a plane. Just talking about like talking to the DMT entities, like get rid of the human population.

• 1:11:08Matt McCusker?

  So be on the lookout for that, guys.

• 1:11:10Speaker 00

  What's going on with the demonology?

• 1:11:12Matt McCusker?

  They're just saying like all these tech people have been doing like DMT and are talking to these like entities that uh, Alex Jones believes are like legit spiritual entities that are like demonic, obviously, that are telling tech billionaires to eradicate. And the worst part was Alex Jones specifically said, they get these like jester like figures and I went, I got bullied by the jester, that bastard dude. He didn't tell me to depopulate. He just literally just made fun of me.

• 1:11:37Speaker 00

  Depopulate would be nice.

• 1:11:38Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that's what, that's what, apparently that's what he's saying. They're all, they're all getting the signal to depop and get rid of a bunch of people and just like rein in AI to kind of like reign supreme and it's, you know. I know dude, it is pure nerd stuff.

• 1:11:51Speaker 00

  Miss me with the nerd AI shit.

• 1:11:53Matt McCusker?

  I know. They, they gotta, someone's gotta stop them.

• 1:11:56Speaker 00

  I'm watching college football, dude.

• 1:11:58Matt McCusker?

  True.

• 1:11:58Speaker 00

  I have no time for your computers. Shut up. Grok sucks. Grok.

• 1:12:04Matt McCusker?

  I will say, dude, my thing is it's useful if you need to be like, hey, I'm reading a book. Is this true or like, do you have any other, you can research with it and it's not bad.

• 1:12:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:12:13Matt McCusker?

  But to be like, it's gonna completely control all of society one day.

• 1:12:17Speaker 00

  It's Google.

• 1:12:18Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that's kind of, it's.

• 1:12:19Speaker 00

  Fast Google.

• 1:12:20Matt McCusker?

  It's a more comprehensive Google for sure. That can be wrong.

• 1:12:23Speaker 00

  Oh, now you're back on your AI stuff?

• 1:12:27Speaker 03

  I'm just chilling.

• 1:12:28Speaker 00

  Well then what was that nasty little face?

• 1:12:30Speaker 03

  It's over dude, we're cooked. They already won.

• 1:12:32Matt McCusker?

  I don't think so, man, because they're talking about the super intel.

• 1:12:34Speaker 03

  I know. Oh dude, they're like a anti-humanist. They're trying to become like trans human. They're trying to ascend past being a human.

• 1:12:42Matt McCusker?

  Who, who?

• 1:12:43Speaker 03

  The tech billionaires, the guy with the AI.

• 1:12:45Matt McCusker?

  They do wanna live forever and that's kind of, they're saying like that might be on the table.

• 1:12:49Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:12:50Matt McCusker?

  But also, who wants to be a nerd forever?

• 1:12:52Speaker 00

  Not me.

• 1:12:53Matt McCusker?

  Just an eternal nerd.

• 1:12:54Speaker 00

  Eternal nerd.

• 1:12:56Matt McCusker?

  I'm not trying to come at Zuckerberg. You can give that guy two more thousand years and they're still gonna be like, who the fuck is this nerd?

• 1:13:02Speaker 00

  Finally, there's, there's gonna be a super bully.

• 1:13:06Speaker 00

  There has to be one chosen one in the next 2,000 years that's gonna punch all these guys in the belly. Statistically, it's coming. I might start my own AI. Create the ultimate bully.

• 1:13:18Matt McCusker?

  You gotta create an air dude to stop these guys.

• 1:13:20Speaker 00

  I'll live forever to fight them.

• 1:13:23Speaker 00

  You guys were actually gay.

• 1:13:26Speaker 00

  Remember when you got a boner in 3rd grade? I was there, I did the research. I recreated it right here.

• 1:13:32Matt McCusker?

  You gotta pour all of your worldly money into a bullying AI.

• 1:13:36Speaker 00

  So you guys are fucking losers.

• 1:13:40Speaker 00

  No matter how much money you have, you'll always be a fucking nerd. Give up.

• 1:13:44Matt McCusker?

  Evil never. They will find the right combination of cool clothes and jiu jitsu.

• 1:13:50Speaker 00

  The cool clothes are fucking crazy.

• 1:13:52Matt McCusker?

  Crazy, bro.

• 1:13:53Speaker 00

  Like a box t-shirt and a chain? What the fuck are you doing?

• 1:13:56Matt McCusker?

  My, the best part is, is like, imagine, imagine if I was a billionaire and I hired like, all kinds of stylists and they just dressed you like a Paul Brother and you're like, what the hell?

• 1:14:05Speaker 00

  That's what hap- I got a stylist. Fucking gave me like 10 Paul Brother shirts and I was like, you guys gotta get out of here. I'm not wearing any of these. Ever.

• 1:14:15Matt McCusker?

  No.

• 1:14:16Speaker 00

  Cause I wanted, I wanted, I was like, I can't buy clothing.

• 1:14:18Matt McCusker?

  Yes.

• 1:14:19Speaker 00

  I, there's something in me, I cannot buy it. I buy the same thing every time. I get gym shorts and t-shirts. I need somebody to buy me one thing.

• 1:14:27Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:28Speaker 00

  So I, I forgot all about it and then these ladies came to my hotel room with like racks of clothing. And they're like, just try these on.

• 1:14:35Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:35Speaker 00

  I just had to do like a fashion show for 3 women.

• 1:14:38Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:39Speaker 00

  It was the most embarrassing thing I've ever done.

• 1:14:41Matt McCusker?

  I can get into that if they like, hiked my pants and checked how loose they were on me.

• 1:14:44Speaker 00

  There was some of that, which was very nice, but...

• 1:14:49Speaker 00

  No, when they left, I paid a little visit to the beat off fairy.

• 1:14:55Speaker 00

  No, it was such a disastrous day.

• 1:14:57Matt McCusker?

  Uh, dude.

• 1:14:58Speaker 00

  I was in LA for, I think the Super Bowl commercial last year and I brought my Xbox.

• 1:15:03Matt McCusker?

  Nice.

• 1:15:04Speaker 00

  I had fucking Bannerlord fired up. I get to LA, I'm like, finally, some peace. Start playing Bannerlord. There's a ring at the fucking, my hotel phone rang and they're like, uh, we have some people to see you. I was like, oh shit, I forgot about this.

• 1:15:18Matt McCusker?

  Oh no.

• 1:15:19Speaker 00

  And then I had to try on, literally like,

• 1:15:24Speaker 00

  fucking Harry Styles outfits. Like fucking like, bell bombs.

• 1:15:28Matt McCusker?

  Like now, can you do a backflip?

• 1:15:29Speaker 00

  Dude, I look like a fucking moron.

• 1:15:33Speaker 00

  I look like a moron.

• 1:15:34Matt McCusker?

  Hire your sisters and mom to be your stylist.

• 1:15:36Speaker 00

  They are. This is, this is, yeah, this is what they bought me in fifth grade and I'm still doing it.

• 1:15:43Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, no, Brittany, Brittany got a stylist and same thing. I was like, have her get me some pants. And it was like, it was a battle.

• 1:15:49Speaker 00

  I did get some dungarees out of it.

• 1:15:50Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:51Speaker 00

  I kept some dungarees.

• 1:15:53Matt McCusker?

  I've learned about a couple of nice comfortable things. Yeah.

• 1:15:56Speaker 00

  I'm too fat to be wearing cool clothes.

• 1:15:57Matt McCusker?

  No, dude, well, they take it personally when you're like, dude, I, I hear you and that's nice, but like, and because you have to explain to like, that's kind of for pussies. They're like, what are you talking about? That's, this is like, this is like what I've studied and you're gonna look great. And you're like, yeah, but like, and they kind of come at you like, oh, what? You're, I guess you're just like not confident. Like no one's gonna tease you. I was like, first of all, yes, they will.

• 1:16:19Speaker 00

  You wouldn't guess how many people will tease me. It's a number you can't imagine.

• 1:16:28Speaker 00

  Millions.

• 1:16:29Matt McCusker?

  It's like, dude, Brittany's like, she'll, she'll get on my ass about all the time. She's like, just because your brother's called you gay when you're in sixth grade, doesn't mean you have to dress a certain way forever. I was like,

• 1:16:37Speaker 00

  Yes, it does. That was good that they did that. That's a, that's a natural.

• 1:16:44Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:45Speaker 00

  That's biological.

• 1:16:46Matt McCusker?

  For sure.

• 1:16:47Speaker 00

  You should have that.

• 1:16:48Matt McCusker?

  Oh, yeah, dude. No, it gets, because then it gets weird. Because also like I've noticed, uh, high black fashion. First time in my life, I'm going, you guys are good with that. You guys can have that. The fucking, black guys have, have, uh, found out about JNCOS now?

• 1:17:02Speaker 00

  It peaked in oh, four. Black fashion, dude. G-Unit was probably around then.

• 1:17:09Matt McCusker?

  I would say FUBU Jersey's G-Unit tank top.

• 1:17:12Speaker 00

  And G-Unit.

• 1:17:12Matt McCusker?

  The best.

• 1:17:13Speaker 00

  They had it.

• 1:17:14Matt McCusker?

  Then it was skinny jeans.

• 1:17:15Speaker 00

  Now it's just been.

• 1:17:16Matt McCusker?

  It was skinny jeans.

• 1:17:17Speaker 00

  Now they're just recycling old white guy shit.

• 1:17:19Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:19Speaker 00

  Yeah. Like now we're goths. Now we're vampires.

• 1:17:22Matt McCusker?

  I know, I know. It's come. What's going on in the black high fashion world? Because I feel like you guys have lost your way. If I'm, if I'm being honest as brothers. And that we have, you know.

• 1:17:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:17:31Matt McCusker?

  Before Shane, race trans is. Race trans is.

• 1:17:35Speaker 00

  I'm gonna race trans. I'm coming back jacked and in JNCOS. I'm coming back as Jaleel, yeah.

• 1:17:43Matt McCusker?

  Holding a handbag.

• 1:17:45Speaker 00

  I think the Jordans are too expensive.

• 1:17:47Matt McCusker?

  Come on, man. That fucking Jinko shit's so expensive. I don't want to hear that. You telling me black fashion has hit a thing where they're finding budgets? Good luck with that, dude. That's not the case at all.

• 1:17:56Speaker 00

  We're talking NBA, we're talking NBA pregame. We're talking the walkout.

• 1:18:00Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, man.

• 1:18:01Speaker 00

  Those outfits are fucking terrible.

• 1:18:04Speaker 06

  Sometimes they're sus.

• 1:18:05Speaker 00

  Suss as fuck.

• 1:18:05Speaker 06

  Crazy sus.

• 1:18:06Speaker 00

  They wear like vests with no undershirts.

• 1:18:08Speaker 06

  Or a purse, like a...

• 1:18:09Speaker 00

  They'll rock a purse.

• 1:18:11Speaker 06

  With probably nothing in it.

• 1:18:12Speaker 00

  It's, it's gone too far.

• 1:18:15Matt McCusker?

  It does make you worse, though. At least put something in your purse. Did you see Cameron's bag? When Cameron paid Adrian Bronner, he had a bunch of cash. That's what we're missing on the podcast. We need a designer bag with a hundred thousand dollars in it.

• 1:18:26Speaker 00

  Alright, I'll get it.

• 1:18:26Matt McCusker?

  And we'll have a guest on every week and it's every week, yeah, exactly. That'd be nice. And then every week...

• 1:18:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, Nick Bryant.

• 1:18:32Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. Yo, bros, now you're...

• 1:18:37Matt McCusker?

  Five minutes in every podcast, like, you gotta roll, dog. You gotta roll, dog. I'm gonna pay you for your time.

• 1:18:43Speaker 00

  We gotta get Cam on here.

• 1:18:44Matt McCusker?

  That would be sick. He hit someone with the, I mean, the best paws I've ever seen.

• 1:18:49Speaker 00

  Really?

• 1:18:50Matt McCusker?

  I think the guy was talking about, I don't know, it was some, it was an athlete. And unfortunately, the guy goes, yo, like, my fucking head game's crazy. And I don't know what he was trying to say. Cameron just goes, okay, hold on, big paws, big paws.

• 1:19:03Speaker 00

  He got Le'Veon Bell with some good ones. He's like, and I just went to Kansas City and they just knew how to, like, use me. And he was like, hey, yo, I was gonna let the last couple slide, but pause. Wonderful.

• 1:19:18Matt McCusker?

  I really love the attention to detail of just, like, sussing out anything that could be perceived as gay. And just stopping a serious interview and being like, well, hey, just so you know what you said, it sounds like you're having sex with guys, but otherwise, go on.

• 1:19:32Speaker 00

  I got Rogies with one that I just couldn't contain.

• 1:19:34Matt McCusker?

  Really?

• 1:19:35Speaker 00

  I was doing the podcast with him and he was showing the highlight of Michael Chandler kicking, uh, Tony Ferguson in the face. He was like, look at that, just a ball of muscle just exploding in your face. I couldn't even, I was like, pause! It was like a guttural pause.

• 1:19:55Matt McCusker?

  Andrew Santino got one out of me, I think it was last year on this podcast, he was talking about the Stretch Lab. And I'm like, I heard of that place. You go to a place where all they do is they stretch you.

• 1:20:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:20:03Matt McCusker?

  And I was like, so we're talking about, he goes, this guy's just been stretching me to my limits. And I was like, bro, I, I'm sorry.

• 1:20:09Speaker 00

  That's the worst pause I've ever heard.

• 1:20:10Matt McCusker?

  But I was like, yeah, I was like, dude, I don't want to be disrespectful, but obviously pause, that's crazy.

• 1:20:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:20:14Matt McCusker?

  Cause he had a couple that I was like, I don't want to be rude. And then it was like, you know, when he just stretches you to your limits. And I was like, alright dude.

• 1:20:20Speaker 00

  Getting stretched out by a dude?

• 1:20:22Matt McCusker?

  Just for the record, I just had to throw a quick pause and this is kind of nuts. I thought he was doing it on purpose to get it like the, which maybe he was, I don't know. But yeah, it was very funny just to be like stretching me to my limits. I was like.

• 1:20:33Speaker 00

  The health, the people that talk to you about their health, they'll hit you with 10 pauses in one.

• 1:20:37Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:38Speaker 00

  It's like, it's that.

• 1:20:39Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, true.

• 1:20:40Speaker 00

  I've just been stretching in the morning, I get stretched out and then I fucking, then I run until my body can't take it. And it's just like, I get so thirsty and then I drink water, it goes right down my throat. Stop telling me about your gay fucking workouts.

• 1:20:57Matt McCusker?

  Uh, guys, I will be in the Bricktown Comedy Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma this weekend, 10:24, 10:25. I will then be in Off the Hook Comedy Club, Naples, Florida, 11:07, 11:08.

• 1:23:23Speaker 00

  Yeah, I don't get a lot of insults on Twitter.

  Yeah, no, I just get propagandized heavily on Twitter.

• 1:23:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

  I do some research, and it's always, it's, goddamn, Twitter's fucking wild, man, it's really, it's a really negative space, you go on there.

• 1:23:35Speaker 00

  It's all negative.

• 1:23:36Matt McCusker?

  It would be good, I wish I could like fully get into that though, and be like, fuck yes, I watched a video today of, uh, I don't remember the guy's name, he's Republican, explaining like the shutdown, he goes, guys, I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, here's what's going on, and just fully was like, it's all the Democrats' fault, and I was in my kitchen laughing, being like, dude, I wish I could just be in here and be like, motherfuckers.

• 1:23:56Speaker 00

  Fucking Democrats.

• 1:23:57Matt McCusker?

  What the fuck, they gave you a fair bill, and you guys responded with one trillion dollars to fucking illegal immigrants, you motherfuckers.

• 1:24:04Speaker 00

  I mean, how else are they gonna get their votes, brother? Come on, man.

• 1:24:08Matt McCusker?

  If what the guy was saying is true, it is damning, cause he's like, we've tried everything, cause you know they're about to run out of the SNAP benefits, bro.

• 1:24:13Speaker 00

  I heard about that.

• 1:24:14Matt McCusker?

  It's not good.

• 1:24:15Speaker 00

  It's not good.

• 1:24:16Matt McCusker?

  It's not good, dude. The, the, I've, I've seen people putting out the fat toils on Walmarts and dude, Walmart's about to be fucking lit.

• 1:24:22Speaker 00

  Walmart's gonna be battlefield.

• 1:24:23Matt McCusker?

  So, it's so funny to be on TikTok being like, I'm about to fuck Walmart up. It's like, don't go on TikTok and say that, you fucking dumbass. They have you on camera. I'm gonna do what I have to do and fuck Walmart up.

• 1:24:33Speaker 00

  Lemese, you should get into a Walmart.

• 1:24:36Speaker 00

  It's rummage.

• 1:24:37Speaker 03

  Right now?

• 1:24:38Speaker 00

  Well, wait till everyone else is doing it.

• 1:24:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:24:41Speaker 00

  And then get in there.

• 1:24:41Speaker 03

  I tried to do that when everyone was protesting in the pandemic, but none of my friends wanted to go.

• 1:24:48Speaker 00

  You wanted to loot a little.

• 1:24:49Speaker 03

  A little bit.

• 1:24:50Matt McCusker?

  Loot the mart? Dude, the wa, the mart is ripe for eluding right now. I hear a lot of people.

• 1:24:56Speaker 00

  Nate just shook his head.

• 1:24:59Matt McCusker?

  I don't like you thinking about looting. True. You're gonna get pinched, Lemere. True. You have the vest still? You used to work there. You could do man on the inside. True. You did loot before it was cool.

• 1:25:13Matt McCusker?

  When'd you loot? You got a good looting in?

• 1:25:14Speaker 00

  You guys should have looted at GameStop. What were you doing?

• 1:25:16Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, well, he's, you guys were allowed to loot.

• 1:25:19Speaker 06

  I was working at one.

• 1:25:20Matt McCusker?

  He's got company ties.

• 1:25:21Speaker 00

  Of course, but.

• 1:25:23Speaker 03

  Inside man.

• 1:25:24Speaker 00

  The second everyone was like, nah, it's cool. You guys can loot for like a couple of months. I would have hit the GameStop. I wasn't allowed to loot.

• 1:25:32Matt McCusker?

  You could have looted.

• 1:25:33Speaker 00

  Nah, the honks weren't allowed.

• 1:25:35Matt McCusker?

  Y'all were, y'all were looting with us a little bit. There were some honks.

• 1:25:38Speaker 00

  A little.

• 1:25:39Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, a little bit.

• 1:25:40Speaker 00

  A little is a fair, thank you for saying a little.

• 1:25:44Speaker 00

  Real small amount. There was just as many defending the targets in Walmarts. Or that fucking fat lady in a wheelchair. She deserves some respect, dude.

• 1:25:54Matt McCusker?

  For defending it?

• 1:25:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:25:55Matt McCusker?

  True.

• 1:25:56Speaker 00

  She was trying to keep civilization together.

• 1:25:57Matt McCusker?

  Yeah?

• 1:25:58Speaker 00

  She probably zatted her fucking wits end. What the fuck are we doing? We're not, you can't just take everything.

• 1:26:03Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, when I was in Philly, my home target.

• 1:26:06Speaker 00

  I'm like punching her.

• 1:26:08Matt McCusker?

  My home target got shut down for a while. It was a major inconvenience. That thing got destroyed.

• 1:26:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:26:12Matt McCusker?

  The one on, uh, I think like in Battle Kinwood got fucking leveled. But yeah, be careful. This, this, uh, I've, I've seen a lot of people promising that they're going in. One lady said she made a deal with God where she wasn't gonna loot anymore. But she said, if you guys do loot something, I'd like to have, you know, if you loot me a thing, I, I would greatly appreciate it. While you're out looting, just like a grocery list. Yeah, it was actually

• 1:26:34Speaker 00

  Kinda nice.

• 1:26:34Matt McCusker?

  Kinda nice. Yeah. A lot of, I say, I've seen

• 1:26:36Speaker 00

  She had a grocery list?

• 1:26:38Matt McCusker?

  Well, she was just kinda like, there's some things, yeah, if you loot, grab me a couple of things. She's, she was pretty, pretty modest request. She's like, a pack of noodles and a case of water.

• 1:26:44Speaker 00

  Some Butterfingers.

• 1:26:45Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:26:47Speaker 00

  If, if, if, if there's extra in the cart, a snack and treat would be good.

• 1:26:52Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it's looking fucking grim, man. I was telling you, I saw a lady, it was this compilation of like the, everyone spazzing out of the benefits. And the lady just did one of the nicer, more constructive posts where she goes, guys, they have these survival packs at Walmart. Which you can get like, I think it's 25 meals, 37 bucks, just add water. I think 20,000 calories. And you can just, if you get one of those, man.

• 1:27:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:27:14Matt McCusker?

  That's, that's paid.

• 1:27:14Speaker 00

  The M R A, they, they tricked me. Uh, I think Tucker sells them.

• 1:27:18Matt McCusker?

  Does he really?

• 1:27:18Speaker 00

  Somebody sells them. Patriot.

• 1:27:20Matt McCusker?

  Oh.

• 1:27:20Speaker 00

  Four Patriots. They, they tricked me, dude. Every once in a while I go, yeah, I should probably stock up.

• 1:27:25Matt McCusker?

  The Patriot podcast, Alex Jones.

• 1:27:28Speaker 00

  And then I don't buy groceries, so I would definitely just be going into my fucking doomsday bunker and clearing it out.

• 1:27:34Matt McCusker?

  I was reading that, that, uh, Vietnam book.

• 1:27:36Speaker 00

  Doomsday would happen. We'd get down there and I'd be like, oh shit, I ate everything.

• 1:27:40Matt McCusker?

  Fuck shit. Yeah, they were saying they used to make, uh, they would heat, so they get like the rations in Vietnam. And they, uh, they had a little bit of instant coffee. But they'd have to use C4 to light this little thing. So you'd have to like get a tiny chunk of C4, light it to boil the water.

• 1:27:54Speaker 00

  That's crazy.

• 1:27:55Matt McCusker?

  That's fucking insane. Yeah. Just a little bit and you gotta get like downwind of it. Cause I don't think the stuff was too good for you to breathe it in. Yeah, well, yeah, it's just hopefully things turn around, man. I mean, this is.

• 1:28:04Speaker 00

  I'm not, I'm not worried about the snap thing.

• 1:28:07Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:28:07Speaker 00

  I'm confident they'll get that fixed.

• 1:28:09Matt McCusker?

  I think so. There's no dude.

• 1:28:10Speaker 00

  If they don't get that fixed, that's a problem, but.

• 1:28:12Matt McCusker?

  By Thanksgiving and Christmas, that'd be terrible.

• 1:28:14Speaker 00

  They'll get it fixed.

• 1:28:14Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:28:15Speaker 00

  They will.

• 1:28:16Matt McCusker?

  Well, yeah, if you guys want some more information, check out Sean Blazington's new video. Dude, I watched, I caught it first thing this morning. It was.

• 1:28:22Speaker 00

  Got you gone?

• 1:28:22Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it was funny because he does a fucking, the montage he puts together. It's like, dude, come on, man. We don't need thirty minutes of these vines. This is, you're painting a very negative picture right now.

• 1:28:32Speaker 00

  It's a lot of vines.

• 1:28:33Matt McCusker?

  He goes, guys, my heart's with all the moms who are suffering. And then like within ten minutes, he goes, y'all mad Daddy Trump ain't giving you your snacks? Now you're acting like a brat.

• 1:28:43Matt McCusker?

  He's just, I think he's just kind of a troll, but.

• 1:28:45Speaker 00

  You gotta give the people their snacks.

• 1:28:46Matt McCusker?

  Snacks are a must, bro. You gotta do the snacks.

• 1:28:49Speaker 00

  I didn't realize how many people were on the snack program.

• 1:28:51Matt McCusker?

  I think a fair amount.

• 1:28:53Speaker 00

  Fucking ton of people are on the snack.

• 1:28:54Matt McCusker?

  Oh, yeah. A lot of people, yeah. So especially, especially Thanksgiving, dude.

• 1:28:58Speaker 00

  You need your snacks.

• 1:28:59Matt McCusker?

  You need your snacks. Thanksgiving and Christmas, snackless Thanksgiving and Christmas. Because dude, the one lady was like, for Thanksgiving, grab one of these ration kits. And I was like.

• 1:29:06Speaker 00

  Ooh, that's tough Thanksgiving.

• 1:29:08Matt McCusker?

  Took me back to when I was in Philly one time. There was this old, he was this old white guy and he was like, just a kind of a drunk. And I was in a, this grocery store in West Philly. It was kind of like a depressing market and, uh, and I remember he put a can of, it was like close, it was like, I think it was like the day before Thanksgiving. He put a can of Spam on the thing. And I was like, fuck, this guy's definitely eating Spam by himself on Thanksgiving. And he like, the lady was like, hold on a second, I gotta do my register. And he just goes, patience is my strong suit, man. I'll never forget it.

• 1:29:35Speaker 00

  He's having a good time.

• 1:29:36Matt McCusker?

  What a great guy, yeah. Just about to hit the Hawaiian Thanksgiving. They love Spam in Hawaii, bro.

• 1:29:42Speaker 00

  They do.

• 1:29:42Matt McCusker?

  Oh, like, I, it's.

• 1:29:44Speaker 00

  I, yeah, I don't think I've ever really even, I don't remember having it.

• 1:29:47Matt McCusker?

  I've tasted it once.

• 1:29:48Speaker 00

  Is it just the inside of a hot dog?

• 1:29:50Matt McCusker?

  Kind of, yeah.

• 1:29:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:29:54Matt McCusker?

  It's like if you made tofu out of like a pig's eyeballs.

• 1:29:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:29:57Matt McCusker?

  It's kind of what it reminds me of personally.

• 1:29:59Speaker 00

  Witches got a hold of some pigs. That I have a need.

• 1:30:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, we did it.

• 1:30:06Matt McCusker?

  We did.

• 1:30:06Speaker 00

  Uh, anything else you want to talk about?

• 1:30:09Matt McCusker?

  No, dude, that's it. Hopefully next week we'll dredge the end.

• 1:30:12Speaker 00

  I'll be back from this illness.

• 1:30:13Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, dude, thank you for, that stinks, man.

• 1:30:16Speaker 00

  Yeah, it sucks being sick.

• 1:30:18Matt McCusker?

  Especially talking when you're sick, fucking blows.
