  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger. My guest today is one of my favorite people on Earth, they say that for all my guests, but I mean him once again today, it's Josh Richards. Probably, probably the most handsome guy we've ever had on this show. Is that true, you think, McCone?

• 1:50Speaker 05

  I don't know, I saw you had Tommy Smokes on recently.

• 1:53Andrew Santino?

  He's okay, he's, he's okay, but you-

• 2:00Andrew Santino?

  Todd Barry we just had on, yeah, he's a handsome male model. Do you know who that guy is?

• 2:04Speaker 05

  I, I don't think I'm familiar with-

• 2:04Andrew Santino?

  Show him a picture of this guy. I mean, this guy is, you want to talk about-

• 2:07Speaker 05

  Just a good looking fella.

• 2:08Andrew Santino?

  Good cheekbones, he's got, he's slender.

• 2:11Speaker 05

  Can make you swing both ways kinda guy.

• 2:13Andrew Santino?

  Unbelievable dude. You could shift for this guy. Give up, give him a photo of this guy so you can see, I mean, wow. That's a mo- I mean, you and him are pretty-

• 2:20Speaker 05

  That's somebody that makes you jealous of the gays, for sure, right?

• 2:22Andrew Santino?

  That's exactly right dude.

• 2:23Speaker 05

  You just wanna be, you wanna be on the other side.

• 2:24Andrew Santino?

  And he's not even, he's straight.

• 2:25Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 2:26Andrew Santino?

  I know. He could do whatever he wants.

• 2:27Speaker 05

  He could, he could.

• 2:28Andrew Santino?

  Uh, dude, good to see you. Thank you for coming on the show. We, last time I saw you, we were at the, we were in, um, southern Missouri at the Internet Invitational.

• 2:34Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 2:35Andrew Santino?

  Prior to that, we, we linked for the first time, um-

• 2:39Speaker 05

  It was a dinner.

• 2:39Andrew Santino?

  In New York.

• 2:40Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 2:41Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, where were we again? We were at, uh-

• 2:43Speaker 05

  It was some-

• 2:44Andrew Santino?

  It was like a side room.

• 2:45Speaker 05

  Of, like a Carbone-

• 2:47Andrew Santino?

  Oh, it was Carbone's like side little room that someone had set up. And it was so funny, when we went there, there, I was like, who's going to this like dinner party? Cause we were like there for a golf outing. And then he was like, oh, a bunch of people are gonna be coming. And then we walked in the room and it was like, a tiny little room.

• 3:00Speaker 05

  Very like-

• 3:00Andrew Santino?

  I was like, how many people are gonna be in there?

• 3:01Speaker 05

  And at the time, cause I think we were some of the first people to get there.

• 3:04Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 3:05Speaker 05

  There were three of us.

• 3:06Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 3:06Speaker 05

  There were three or four of us in this like-

• 3:07Andrew Santino?

  That was fine, three would've been fine for me.

• 3:08Speaker 05

  Oh, it would've been a good intimate event. It, it got a little bit larger.

• 3:11Andrew Santino?

  Little claustrophobic. I get claustrophobic. Do you get claustrophobic?

• 3:16Speaker 05

  I, I-

• 3:17Andrew Santino?

  You're too young to feel it yet.

• 3:18Speaker 05

  I feel like, yeah, I don't know if I'm there yet. I'm starting, I'm starting to get the social anxiety, or my social barrier, I've realized recently is, is, needs more charge than before.

• 3:26Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, so are you, do you do this thing now where you're gapping your schedule so you're not layering it so much, so you have time to just like chill, or are you just packing it all in?

• 3:34Speaker 05

  I've, I've been packing it all in, uh, as of recently, uh, but I think that's, that's one of the 2026 goals. And I think my girl definitely, she pushes that on me too. She is, she is the complete opposite of me. I am the guy that like, we'll go all out to dinner with friends and I'm the worst guy at the table that's gonna start talking about work. You know what I mean? Like, I'm like a work guy 24/7 and my, my girl's the complete opposite. Gabby, thank God, she's like, all that matters is friends and memories and having good times.

• 4:01Andrew Santino?

  Smart.

• 4:01Speaker 05

  I'm a much more of the like, we gotta have everything, we gotta make sure we're good for retirement, we gotta make sure our kids are, like, you know, I'm, I'm- I'm thinking that way and she's thinking more of the, let's just like have fun and hang out.

• 4:11Andrew Santino?

  I, I'm on her side. You, I mean, I think, is she your same age? Younger, older?

• 4:15Speaker 05

  She's a little younger than me. She's, uh, 21.

• 4:17Andrew Santino?

  21, you're 20?

• 4:18Speaker 05

  3.

• 4:19Andrew Santino?

  Isn't that cool? He's 26 and he's an old man. This is what happens. He started working for me three years ago? How many years ago?

• 4:24Speaker 05

  That's what he was saying.

• 4:25Andrew Santino?

  And he's weathered terribly.

• 4:26Speaker 05

  It's kinda like a presidency campaign, eh?

• 4:28Andrew Santino?

  It is dude, he's gonna go gray.

• 4:30Speaker 05

  He's spread a bit in the last three years.

• 4:31Andrew Santino?

  He'll lose all his hair and/or go gray by the end of this term.

• 4:33Speaker 05

  You'll have to start getting like a spray tan by the end of this.

• 4:36Andrew Santino?

  No, he can't dude, he's from Minnesota. He can't, he's not allowed. He's too pale. Irish kids aren't allowed. They're not allowed to have spray tans. Can't do that. You're Canadian. I always forget that you're Canadian until I hear you say "out".

• 4:45Speaker 05

  "Out" or like tomorrow?

• 4:47Andrew Santino?

  Tomorrow.

• 4:47Speaker 05

  Tomorrow.

• 4:48Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, tomorrow!

• 4:49Speaker 05

  Yeah, that one will come out every once in a while.

• 4:50Andrew Santino?

  But Toronto, Canada? Where?

• 4:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, so I'm east coast. So I'm uh, I'm an hour and a half east of Toronto, small town called Coburg.

• 4:56Andrew Santino?

  Coburg.

• 4:56Speaker 05

  Coburg.

• 4:57Andrew Santino?

  Pas de vue française?

• 4:58Speaker 05

  Eh, petit peu.

• 4:59Andrew Santino?

  Okay, I don't do it, but that's nice. See, you're even hotter when you do that dude, that's so funny. God, don't turn me on dude, it's midday.

• 5:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 5:06Andrew Santino?

  It's the middle of the week dude, don't do that to me. Come on man!

• 5:09Speaker 05

  I don't wanna get you half chubbed at 12 of the day.

• 5:11Andrew Santino?

  I already am. When you walked in dude, your publicist was like "hello".

• 5:13Speaker 05

  We're full mast almost now?

• 5:14Andrew Santino?

  Huh?

• 5:15Speaker 05

  That means we're getting a full mast.

• 5:16Andrew Santino?

  I'm full. I'm full. The flag is up my friend.

• 5:18Speaker 05

  The jeans have gotten tighter, I've noticed.

• 5:20Andrew Santino?

  Significantly.

• 5:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 5:21Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. Well, that's, well that's cause I'm getting fatter, that's really what this is.

• 5:24Speaker 05

  You think?

• 5:24Andrew Santino?

  I'm in my, I'm in my winter stage. Well...

• 5:27Speaker 05

  Bulking season.

• 5:28Andrew Santino?

  I'm bulking right now.

• 5:29Speaker 05

  That's, that's the right way to put it.

• 5:30Andrew Santino?

  I'm prepping for the holidays dude, and I can't, are you a Thanksgiving food guy or no?

• 5:34Speaker 05

  I love Thanksgiving food, but here's the thing, we've already had Thanksgiving in Canada.

• 5:38Andrew Santino?

  Oh yeah, that's right, you guys already did it.

• 5:41Speaker 05

  Ours passed.

• 5:41Andrew Santino?

  So you don't do it, you don't do it here?

• 5:42Speaker 05

  Uh, I'll celebrate here, uh, but I think, you know, I always try to go home for the Canadian Thanksgiving. We do, I mean, we do the exact same dinner on Christmas as well. I feel like... I don't understand the, the craze for Thanksgiving as much as I get the craze for Christmas.

• 5:57Andrew Santino?

  Ah, yes.

• 5:58Speaker 05

  It's, I, I get the same meal. Turkey, ham, you get it all.

• 6:02Andrew Santino?

  The standard. Yeah, but I, I have a controversial, I have a hot take. I mean, he knows this about me. I'm not a Thanksgiving food guy. Love to get together with family and friends. Turkey and I aren't friends.

• 6:11Speaker 05

  Yours not a turkey guy?

• 6:12Andrew Santino?

  I don't understand it. It's a dry bird and people are like, "Well, what if it..." I've had the deep fried, I've had the... Juicy, even when it's, it's still not... I I want red meat.

• 6:20Speaker 05

  Right.

• 6:21Andrew Santino?

  So.

• 6:21Speaker 05

  You could do prime rib, though.

• 6:22Andrew Santino?

  We do. My whole family, that's what we do. My family's decided collectively that we don't like it. Why is my mom wasting her time cooking it? Why is my sister trying to help?

• 6:31Speaker 05

  Such a long.

• 6:32Andrew Santino?

  It's arduous, dude. It's no need.

• 6:34Speaker 05

  Oh, it's brutal.

• 6:35Andrew Santino?

  So I'm anti-turkey. And I think, goo- find out, I think that the whole turkey thing was implemented by the government years ago to try to sell more turkeys because turkey stock was down.

• 6:45Speaker 05

  It's like a Valentine's Day card situation.

• 6:46Andrew Santino?

  Exactly. Or Santa, Tooth Fairy, it's all made up. Nothing's real.

• 6:50Speaker 05

  Sales, yeah.

• 6:51Andrew Santino?

  That's how I feel about it because every time I have it, I'm always like, this is not as good as I thought it was. The next day turkey, now next day turkey sandwich, that's good.

• 6:58Speaker 05

  That is probably one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is the next day's meal.

• 7:02Andrew Santino?

  That's my thing. So so how about this? Just give me tomorrow's turkey. I don't need to eat it today.

• 7:07Speaker 05

  Just make it a day ahead, maybe.

• 7:08Andrew Santino?

  That's exactly right.

• 7:09Speaker 05

  Maybe we should start prepping it day ahead. Give me the toast with just, I want turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potato, gravy, all in one sandwich.

• 7:18Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. How about a turkey burrito? You ever do that?

• 7:21Speaker 05

  No.

• 7:22Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, this is a new thing I'm trying to start. Southern California, dude, burritos got me going. Now I think, why don't we wrap up turkey, taters. Here's my thing. Tur- cold turkey, tater tots, hot, cranberry sauce, okay? Cranberry sauce?

• 7:35Speaker 05

  Yeah. Because I've had people do both ways.

• 7:38Andrew Santino?

  I've only I've only actually had it warm, but maybe I should do a cold, like a salsa.

• 7:42Speaker 05

  Right, for the sandwich. I'm taking a burrito.

• 7:43Andrew Santino?

  So people at home, try this out this year. Comment below about the the turkey, your turkey, uh, next day turkey Thanksgiving wrap. What is the deal with the turkey?

• 7:51Speaker 06

  A lot of it was practicality because it was really cheap, uh, for the time that Thanksgiving became popular, and especially to feed a lot of people.

• 7:58Andrew Santino?

  But are they still cheap? I feel like I don't think they are.

• 8:00Speaker 05

  Prices must have been raised.

• 8:01Speaker 06

  They're also just abundant. There's just a lot of turkeys.

• 8:04Andrew Santino?

  And why is that? Because nobody wants to eat them. See? This is the whole point I'm making. They've shoehorned us into thinking, you know, this is like lobster. You know the history of like lobsters?

• 8:13Speaker 05

  Lobster was like, it was like peasant food at one point.

• 8:15Andrew Santino?

  They used to serve it to prisoners in New England.

• 8:17Speaker 06

  And caviar, too.

• 8:18Andrew Santino?

  Caviar, too. That was crap food. And now they've suckered us into thinking that it's good.

• 8:21Speaker 05

  Oh, this is some beautiful thing to be eating. It's coming out of the fish's vagina.

• 8:26Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, no thanks, dude. I don't want that. A vagina's vagina. I'm not into it.

• 8:30Speaker 05

  Right, right.

• 8:30Andrew Santino?

  You can't have double vagina, dude.

• 8:31Speaker 05

  No, no, no, that's a lot.

• 8:33Andrew Santino?

  Well, that's my hot take. Prime rib on Thanksgiving. I'll do the ham, but I'm just not, I'm checked out now of the the turkey thing. I think they, I think they lied to us for years. We found out it was a lie and now. I'm not into it.

• 8:45Speaker 05

  And you know what? I like the prime rib move because my favorite side dish maybe of all times is Yorkshire pudding.

• 8:50Andrew Santino?

  Ooh, that's pretty good.

• 8:51Speaker 05

  You get a good Yorkshire pudding, prime rib goes great.

• 8:54Andrew Santino?

  That does go great. What's your temperature of prime rib? What are we talking? Rare?

• 8:57Speaker 05

  I'm, I'm leaning rare.

• 8:58Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 8:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 8:59Andrew Santino?

  Bloody, you like a little bloody.

• 9:00Speaker 05

  I want it to be a little bloody.

• 9:01Andrew Santino?

  My, my, a guy that we work with, he likes it black and blue. Do you know what black and blue? That's how he eats his steaks.

• 9:06Speaker 05

  I mean, it's still moving. It's still moving.

• 9:08Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's pretty, it's a little...

• 9:10Speaker 05

  They're doing a sear around it and that's about it.

• 9:11Andrew Santino?

  It's a, it's a hot sear. They want it as hot as you can and then an inside is dark, dark red. Yeah, it's cold. Yeah, black and blue. Can't do that.

• 9:19Speaker 05

  No, no, no, that's too far for me. That's, that's...

• 9:21Andrew Santino?

  But I respect it.

• 9:23Speaker 05

  I wish I could be animalistic like that.

• 9:25Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 9:25Speaker 05

  I feel like I would walk around, probably puff my chest out a little higher.

• 9:28Andrew Santino?

  You'd be a little bit bigger.

• 9:29Speaker 05

  I, I would. That's my problem. I don't gain weight.

• 9:32Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you will, dude.

• 9:33Speaker 05

  Everyone's been saying that to me.

• 9:34Andrew Santino?

  You will, dude. I'm in my 40s. It'll, it'll hit. You'll wake up one day with a little mini spare tire, like a little... You know the small wheel on a car?

• 9:42Speaker 05

  Yeah, right.

• 9:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it'll be like just the small wheel that gets there and you'll go, "What is that?"

• 9:45Speaker 05

  See, I would love that.

• 9:47Andrew Santino?

  It's common.

• 9:47Speaker 05

  I would love a little, I would love a little size because I, I go to the gym and nothing happens.

• 9:51Andrew Santino?

  What are we talking? Let me guess. You're six... How tall are you? Are we the same height?

• 9:53Speaker 05

  I'm 6'1".

• 9:54Andrew Santino?

  6'1", we're pretty close.

• 9:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 9:56Andrew Santino?

  6'1" and I think you're...

• 9:59Andrew Santino?

  Hmm, closest, uh, closest wins dinner tonight. McCon, what's your guess?

• 10:02Speaker 05

  They're both gonna be off.

• 10:04Andrew Santino?

  Go ahead.

• 10:06Speaker 06

  145.

• 10:07Andrew Santino?

  No, that's wrong. No, that's wrong. That's wrong. He's holding it different. It's 163. What is it?

• 10:13Speaker 05

  Um, right now, I'm probably at, I'm at a light point though right now. Uh, I would say I'm 1, 150, 148. I'm in that.

• 10:21Andrew Santino?

  Split, split the diff. Split the diff. Okay, dude, you got it. I'll buy you dinner.

• 10:26Speaker 05

  You got it. You got it. Yeah.

• 10:27Andrew Santino?

  You're almost a spinner weight. You're a spinner in the gay community. Yeah.

• 10:30Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's bad. It's bad. Um, I, uh, when I travel and do a lot of work, I don't eat.

• 10:35Andrew Santino?

  You don't eat at all?

• 10:36Speaker 05

  I don't eat when I work. I don't know. I don't know what it is. I get caught up in it. I think part of it, I don't, I don't know if this is just a, a bad excuse, but I think part of it is like, I'm really ADHD and I'll get fixated and so I'll go seven hours, eight hours and then all of a sudden it's nighttime and I'm like, I didn't eat all day.

• 10:50Andrew Santino?

  I don't know. I have to eat. I, um, that's, I can't. I don't, well, I mean, I, I need it. If I don't start the day with a couple of cups of coffee and then a little something... Grump bump man.

• 11:01Speaker 05

  Not if I'm gonna be around.

• 11:02Andrew Santino?

  It's just not gonna be nice. He knows, he's felt it many, many times. I get hangry and then I lash out. You know, I don't physically hit him, but I, but I get close.

• 11:12Speaker 05

  Emotionally.

• 11:12Andrew Santino?

  Well, emotionally, I've damaged him tremendously.

• 11:15Speaker 05

  Right. I can see it. He wears it on the face, like you said.

• 11:16Andrew Santino?

  He really does. That's why he looks old, dude. That mustache just popped out one day. It just kinda formed on his face.

• 11:22Speaker 05

  In the midst of you going at him, it just kinda started spreading.

• 11:24Andrew Santino?

  It just started flowing. Uh, tell me this, cause we talked a little bit before the show, the BFF's podcast.

• 11:31Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 11:31Andrew Santino?

  Uh, you and, uh, Deep Fried Chicken Fry.

• 11:34Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 11:35Andrew Santino?

  Uh, done, over.

• 11:36Speaker 05

  Over, over. Podcast is ending. No, no bad blood. Um, man, I feel like, are we gonna get into a drink today?

• 11:42Andrew Santino?

  Do you wanna have a cocktail?

• 11:43Speaker 05

  I think we might if we're gonna get into a serious topic like this.

• 11:45Andrew Santino?

  Wow dude, yeah, I didn't know you wanted to. We can do it. I assume, cause it's earlier in the day, the kid was not gonna do it, but.

• 11:51Speaker 05

  No, no.

• 11:52Andrew Santino?

  You gonna go get some cups for us? This is great. I didn't know.

• 11:54Speaker 05

  East Coast time, it's drinking time.

• 11:56Andrew Santino?

  God bless, dude. I had no idea. Is there, there should be two on there. Are they not there, right there? Check in the other room, they should be there.

• 12:03Speaker 05

  I mean, the name of the show, we gotta.

• 12:04Andrew Santino?

  It a hundred percent is, but you know, a lot of, this is part of the reason I had a conversation with this, with, um, one of the, uh, people that's working with the show. They were like, "How often are people drinking now?" And I said, "This is the thing, most of my friends are sober now."

• 12:17Speaker 05

  You're in that age.

• 12:18Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, because either kids or family, or, I'm 42, man. Like, we've spent many, many moons doing it.

• 12:25Speaker 05

  Yup.

• 12:25Andrew Santino?

  So a lot of guys in my, especially in the comedy business, dude. A lot of guys, they had party too hard and now they're sober. Or, uh, we film early in the morning and people are like, "Hey, man, I have to go pick up my kids."

• 12:35Speaker 05

  Right, right, right, right.

• 12:36Andrew Santino?

  Like, I can't get hammered.

• 12:37Speaker 05

  Or guys are doing shows at night and then podcasts in the day.

• 12:39Andrew Santino?

  You can do that, that's fine.

• 12:40Speaker 05

  They'll, they'll day drinks.

• 12:42Andrew Santino?

  Oh, a hundred percent.

• 12:42Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 12:43Andrew Santino?

  But if you're picking up the kids at school, that's a little sketchy.

• 12:46Speaker 05

  Right.

• 12:46Andrew Santino?

  You know what I mean? You can't pick up the kids hammered. I mean, I'm sure people do that.

• 12:50Speaker 05

  Definitely.

• 12:51Andrew Santino?

  But that's more of a Canadian thing.

• 12:52Speaker 05

  No, that is a Canadian thing. We get introduced to alcohol young out there.

• 12:55Andrew Santino?

  When did you first start drinking?

• 12:57Speaker 05

  Start is different than like when I think I had my first, you know, drink of alcohol.

• 13:01Andrew Santino?

  What was your first sip?

• 13:02Speaker 05

  I was probably thirteen or twelve.

• 13:04Andrew Santino?

  Mom and dad?

• 13:05Speaker 05

  I, it was a family event. It was a Christmas. It was a Christmas. My cousins were feeding me rum and cokes.

• 13:10Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah.

• 13:11Speaker 05

  That's how it was introduced.

• 13:12Andrew Santino?

  What's your drink now? What's your drink of choice?

• 13:14Speaker 05

  Now, I, I like whiskey. Like, I like a whiskey sour.

• 13:17Andrew Santino?

  Oh, you like whiskey sour?

• 13:18Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 13:19Andrew Santino?

  Do you ever drink it straight and eat?

• 13:20Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

• 13:21Andrew Santino?

  You do? You'll have that?

• 13:22Speaker 05

  I'll have, I'll have whiskey on the rocks. Um, but I think the, I'm kind of in a, I'm in a cocktail phase right now.

• 13:27Andrew Santino?

  Ooh, you like that.

• 13:28Speaker 05

  I like, I do like the cocktails.

• 13:29Andrew Santino?

  You like the cocktail menu. When you go out, you go, what do you got? What's the concoction you've made?

• 13:33Speaker 05

  That's exactly. The first thing I'm looking at, a good spicy marg.

• 13:36Andrew Santino?

  A spicy marg is good.

• 13:37Speaker 05

  That'll go. I'll take that every time.

• 13:39Andrew Santino?

  Oh, we got the cups are not here? Let you, these are great. This is funny.

• 13:42Speaker 05

  This is amazing.

• 13:43Andrew Santino?

  These are very funny.

• 13:46Andrew Santino?

  Oh, he covered the episodes. Oh, that's true.

• 13:47Speaker 05

  No, that's great.

• 13:48Andrew Santino?

  You know, this is very funny.

• 13:49Speaker 05

  This is.

• 13:50Andrew Santino?

  Don't, this is, honestly, this is the first time we haven't had glasses in here in a long time. Just because I was like, no one's drinking at ten in the morning.

• 13:55Speaker 05

  I mean, this feels.

• 13:56Andrew Santino?

  Let me pour it for you because that's only fair. And we'll just do a little bit. And by the way, we're gonna drink it neat. We'll drink it, we'll drink it as is.

• 14:02Speaker 05

  Just no, no.

• 14:02Andrew Santino?

  No ice. No nothing. Just to, but you slow sip it.

• 14:05Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 14:05Andrew Santino?

  And I think you deserve this, uh, old Rip Van Winkle. It's ten year. Have you ever had this?

• 14:09Speaker 05

  I've had a Rip Van Winkle. I don't know if it's that one.

• 14:12Andrew Santino?

  It's, well, this is a good one.

• 14:14Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 14:14Andrew Santino?

  I got this as a gift, uh, as many of these bottles are because they're, it's a hundred and seven proof too, so it's gonna be nice and.

• 14:21Speaker 05

  Put some hair on the chest.

• 14:22Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it'll burn you. You, you might gain some weight finally after today.

• 14:25Speaker 05

  There we go.

• 14:26Andrew Santino?

  Alright, so before I pour this, then we'll talk about the BFFs thing. But, growing up in Canada then, what was the first, do you remember the first time you got hammered?

• 14:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 14:34Andrew Santino?

  Give me that.

• 14:35Speaker 05

  First time I got hammered, uh, shout out my boy Harry Sutherland. Uh, me and him, we were playing on the same.

• 14:41Andrew Santino?

  There you go. Harry Sutherland?

• 14:43Speaker 05

  Harry Sutherland.

• 14:43Andrew Santino?

  This is the first time we've ever drank out of plastic cups on this show like this.

• 14:46Speaker 05

  This is great. I mean, pouring expensive, uh, whiskey into.

• 14:49Andrew Santino?

  A plastic cup?

• 14:50Speaker 05

  A plastic cup. There's something about it.

• 14:51Andrew Santino?

  There's some bourbon guy that's like at home being like, what?

• 14:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is, this is great.

• 14:56Andrew Santino?

  Who cares, dude? Sip it slow. Cheers. Salamchay. Cheers. Uh, and talk to me about Harry Sutherland.

• 15:04Speaker 05

  Oh, that's great.

• 15:05Andrew Santino?

  Is that good?

• 15:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:06Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 15:06Speaker 05

  That is.

• 15:07Andrew Santino?

  Even out of a plastic cup. This is sacrilegious, I imagine. People at home are gonna be mad.

• 15:11Speaker 05

  No, there, there's gonna be some people that are furious.

• 15:13Andrew Santino?

  And you know what? Not my problem. You're not the one getting invited on the show drinking, Rip, okay? That's on you.

• 15:18Speaker 05

  Pretty cool when you have your own show, you can do what you want.

• 15:19Andrew Santino?

  I can do whatever I want.

• 15:20Speaker 05

  You can do whatever you want.

• 15:21Andrew Santino?

  And shout out to Harry Sutherland. If, if you send me a photo, we'll put a photo of him right here.

• 15:24Speaker 05

  Yeah, we'll put a, we'll put a photo up. Um, but anyways, he, he brought me out to his, uh, I think it was his uncle or aunt's cottage that they had. And we went and slept in the trailer. So, you know, no parent supervision. We kind of had our own trailer and they had kept all the liquor up in the top cabinets.

• 15:41Andrew Santino?

  Bad move.

• 15:42Speaker 05

  So of course, uh, the two of us, we think, you know, this is, this is gonna be the moment, this is gonna be the night where we're gonna go get loaded. Uh, so we both start drinking, the mix of drinks, I mean, we probably had like Bacardi rum with, you know, Everclear with, it was just like, it was brutal. You know, like taking sips of everything, trying to make sure the levels are all still looking good enough, putting a little water in each one. And then, uh, next morning we wake up and right away, I mean, both of us, you know, stressed out, the parents are gonna somehow find out. Aunt walks into the, the trailer. When she walks out after she passes the two of us and goes, so you guys got into the top cabinets last night, huh? Right? Kind of just lets us know in the moment and keeps on walking, doesn't tell the parents we're there, like shitting ourselves all morning long. But, uh, yeah, that was the first.

• 16:26Andrew Santino?

  How old were you?

• 16:27Speaker 05

  I think I was thirteen, thirteen.

• 16:29Andrew Santino?

  Thirteen.

• 16:29Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:29Andrew Santino?

  That was the first time you got tanked.

• 16:30Speaker 05

  That was the first, but we would get given drinks to go to parties as kids. So like our parents, even the strictest parents, they would, that, that, the kind of thought process was like, we're gonna give the trust to these kids and then if they break them, we take away the trust. So everyone's parents would, you know, give their kids two or three beers to go to a party. When they're in grade nine, a grade, like, you know, they're in high school. You'd get two to three beers. The rule in my house was always like, we'll give you your two beers. You'd go to a party. You're not allowed to stay anywhere else though, after a party. You have to come home.

• 16:59Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 16:59Speaker 05

  So my parents would stay up, I'd get home, they'd be at the kitchen table with the tea and a piece of toast. And I'd have to come home and I'd have to tell the entire night to them and they'd know how I am off two beers or did I go and drink some other people's shit? And then. Am I able to keep going to parties? Do I have their trust or not? So that's how they would run it. And I think like that's how most families I knew would do it in Canada. It seems like, I don't know, I didn't see, when I came out to LA when I was eighteen. There were a lot more people that I saw that didn't know how to handle their alcohol out there, out here than back home.

• 17:32Andrew Santino?

  It's a cultural thing too, right? Midwest, I'm Chicago, he's Minnesota. We kind of grew up with it too. It was a very normal thing. To have a drink with your family because then they kind of regulated how out of control you got. Were we sneaking extras? Big time. Grab your uncle, your uncle that gets hammered, he falls asleep at the family function. You snack his cock. Yeah, you got it dude. You got it. I remember the first time, there was a place called Lake Dullivan. That's in Wisconsin. Shout out to Lake Dullivan. It's. Lake Geneva is the popular one. Lake Geneva is kind of like where people with money go. Lake Dullivan is, um, you know, it's, it's a slow, it's, it's its slower nephew. It's not, you know what I mean? Took fourth grade twice type of thing. Yeah, it's a little, it's a little shaky. It's a bad limp dude. And they also never shaved the, um.

• 18:18Andrew Santino?

  Uh, the seaweed. So all of the whatever kelp and everything that would grow, you'd feel it on your feet when you went swimming, which was gross. Yeah, it sucked, but it was rad. But then I, we went one night, we were all staying in a little tiny cabin. And, uh, my dad always traveled with a little, um, it was a flask, but it was the, the big ones. You know the plastic old big plastic flask? It's got a metal top? And he kept it in this cabinet. And one of my uncles was like, go get your dad's. We were playing basketball late at night because they kept the lights on. And he was like, go get your dad's whiskey. And I was like, dude, he's gonna beat the shit out of me if I go do that. That like, I can't do that. And my uncle was like, really? You're gonna ruin the fun? And he put me in this position where it was like, I gotta do it.

• 18:58Speaker 05

  You wanna, you wanna look cool to your uncle.

• 18:59Andrew Santino?

  You gotta look cool to your uncle.

• 19:00Speaker 05

  Cause the uncle's a cool, the cool brother.

• 19:03Andrew Santino?

  Well, they got wasted, they got naked and went night swimming. And, uh, as a young little lad seeing grown adult uncles naked, you were like. God, I hope mine grows.

• 19:11Speaker 05

  Right, right. That's intimidating.

• 19:13Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it sucks dude. And they're like, you're gonna get in?

• 19:15Speaker 05

  You could hold on to that thing and start swinging into the water like a.

• 19:18Andrew Santino?

  It was a rope swing. Yeah, dude. I sat in it like a tire swing. No, I was, I, they were like, you're gonna. Get in the water and I was like I'd get in fully clothed, but I think my mom will get she'll be mad that I like my one pair of jeans I brought.

• 19:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, I ruined.

• 19:30Andrew Santino?

  That was my first like that was one of the first times I like got in trouble. Then the next day, my dad, you know, saw that it was all gone. Did not snitch. I didn't snitch, which is huge. But he figured it out. He was like, who was doing it? I was like, no idea. No clue. And he's like, I'm gonna find out that you did it. I said, I didn't. By the way, no phones, no cameras.

• 19:48Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 19:48Andrew Santino?

  How are you gonna trace me, pal?

• 19:49Speaker 05

  Great time.

• 19:50Andrew Santino?

  How are you gonna trace me? There's no forensic evidence, buddy.

• 19:52Speaker 05

  You can't you can't figure out anything.

• 19:54Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 19:54Speaker 05

  You could just go out and commit crimes back in the day.

• 19:56Andrew Santino?

  A lot of people did. Yeah, we I mean, I think my uncles probably took off that night driving and went and did something bad.

• 20:01Speaker 05

  For sure.

• 20:02Andrew Santino?

  But who knows? And it's not my business, by the way. Not interested, not interested. That was my first like. What was the first time that you got too much where you had a little bit too much more than you should have?

• 20:13Speaker 05

  Like got got in got in trouble?

• 20:15Andrew Santino?

  No, where when you had a couple too many and you you threw up like you knew it was one. It was a big, bad night.

• 20:20Speaker 05

  You know, um, there, yeah, there was a there was a night when I was on a school trip. Um, and me and my friends, uh, we'd went to crazy school trip. We went to Italy.

• 20:34Andrew Santino?

  This is high school?

• 20:35Speaker 05

  This was high school. So I went to a public school in Canada and there was a trip they would announce for like the seniors and juniors and you would know when you got in your freshman year, whether it was gonna line up in your junior or senior year. So you'd start saving up money. So me and three of my buddies did it. We go out to Italy and of course we're getting drinks. Right? I mean, high school trip, we're all out there. You, one of us, I think, was even of age to be able to buy it down there. It's like, we're gonna go get it. Alcohol. This is something that's been going on on this trip for 20 years in the high school too. Everyone knows it. Um, it's just the rule is don't get caught.

• 21:06Andrew Santino?

  Don't get caught.

• 21:07Speaker 05

  So we get we get our drinks and, you know, we buy like a bunch of just high school beverages, Jack Daniels, like Smirnoff, like all of that stuff. And then we get a bunch of absinthe as well.

• 21:18Andrew Santino?

  Hmm.

• 21:18Speaker 05

  So we got the absinthe, we're doing that and we're doing these shooters. Getting in the bus, we're going back to the hotel. We're like, it's a perfect night. We have free time. This is great. We get on the bus. They go change of plans. We're heading to the Vatican.

• 21:29Andrew Santino?

  Oh, wow. Hammered at the Vatican.

• 21:31Speaker 05

  So me and the boys are like, this, this, this isn't gonna go well at all. Let's make sure we leave our bags on the bus. We have all our alcohol. If you don't know, you go into the Vatican, it's a whole new country, right? Like you're going through TSA, you're doing all that. Um, they go, yeah, we're switching buses. Bring your bags. So now me and the boys are sitting there wasted with our backpacks full of alcohol thinking, what are we gonna do? Like, we're gonna get arrested going to the Vatican on the school trip. Somehow get to the TSA line. I, I don't know if the guy just didn't care we were bringing alcohol in. We saw he was kind of in a conversation with another TSA person. Bags get through, we're scot-free. So we just start kind of hanging out in the Vatican with alcohol.

• 22:10Andrew Santino?

  Wow.

• 22:10Speaker 05

  Make it through the night, get home. Girl snitches on us, we all get five day suspensions from school after the trip.

• 22:15Andrew Santino?

  What?

• 22:16Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 22:16Andrew Santino?

  Who's this girl?

• 22:17Speaker 05

  Uh, Ashley.

• 22:19Andrew Santino?

  Call her up!

• 22:19Speaker 05

  Ashley, Ashley Pumphrey.

• 22:20Andrew Santino?

  Ashley, you know who you are.

• 22:21Speaker 05

  Come on, man.

• 22:22Andrew Santino?

  What was that about, dude?

• 22:24Speaker 05

  Uh, I don't know. Then, to make it worse, all the girls went and got tattoos. It's a permanent decision. Permanent life decision. That wasn't allowed either.

• 22:31Andrew Santino?

  You're just blacked out at the Vatican, that's not that big of a deal.

• 22:33Speaker 05

  We're still having a good time.

• 22:34Andrew Santino?

  Also, are any of your friends good looking like you?

• 22:36Speaker 05

  Uh, yeah!

• 22:37Andrew Santino?

  Little drunk boys at the Vatican is dangerous, dude.

• 22:39Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 22:40Andrew Santino?

  That's dangerous, dude.

• 22:41Speaker 05

  You know, we really were putting ourselves in a bad position.

• 22:43Andrew Santino?

  Cause you know they have their own police.

• 22:44Speaker 05

  There were a couple, you know, older men licking their lips, for sure.

• 22:48Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, they're like, boy, would you like to come in the back and see something private? And you're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

• 22:55Speaker 05

  I would need to see the body of Christ, I don't need to see anybody else's.

• 22:58Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 22:59Speaker 05

  Only the body of Christ is entering this mouth, so.

• 23:02Andrew Santino?

  Only the body. Would you grow up in church? Were you a church kid?

• 23:04Speaker 05

  Catholic, so, uh.

• 23:05Andrew Santino?

  Hardcore Catholic.

• 23:06Speaker 05

  Altar server for a little bit.

• 23:07Andrew Santino?

  Were you?

• 23:08Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 23:09Andrew Santino?

  Dude, that's dangerous. A cute boy like you, that's...

• 23:12Speaker 05

  I was in enemy territory.

• 23:13Andrew Santino?

  Are you fast? You always wore Nikes?

• 23:14Speaker 05

  I was always a quick kid. I was a cross country kid, so, you know, I would, I would train in the church and then go win in the events. Um, but, uh, no, me, me and, uh, one of my best friends, uh, he, he actually lived with me in LA for a while. He was, he was really from the church family.

• 23:28Andrew Santino?

  Like, they, like, weekly?

• 23:30Speaker 05

  I mean, like, when we would go and play in hockey tournaments, he played on a better team than I did, so I wouldn't be with him. But he, he would go to hockey tournaments and then go to church in the morning before the games.

• 23:41Andrew Santino?

  What?

• 23:42Speaker 05

  I mean, like, we're going to travel tournaments, whatever, he's making sure he's going to church. He'd have stories of like, yeah, there were no churches around, I had to go to like, an all Asian church. Didn't understand a word, but my parents wanted to make sure I went to church.

• 23:53Andrew Santino?

  But you still have to go to church.

• 23:54Speaker 05

  He would be there every single Sunday.

• 23:56Andrew Santino?

  Now, did this kid end up doing anything good in hockey?

• 23:58Speaker 05

  He was pretty good.

• 23:59Andrew Santino?

  Not college or anything beyond?

• 24:00Speaker 05

  No, no, no, but he was a, he was a pretty elite player. Played AAA his whole life, so.

• 24:05Andrew Santino?

  Did you have any friends growing up that guy? Cause Canada with the hockey thing, man, it's crazy.

• 24:08Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:09Andrew Santino?

  You have any friends that went pro?

• 24:10Speaker 05

  I have a couple buddies that like went and played like pretty high level. I have some buddies now that are obviously in pros, but not, not any of the guys that I grew up with that I was like close with.

• 24:22Andrew Santino?

  Your school wasn't a breeding ground for hockey players?

• 24:24Speaker 05

  They, they were good. I mean, we won like, uh, we, we would win our kind of like states equivalent or whatnot. Uh, quite often for hockey or like for our, for our rep team, they'd go and win it all OMHAs. But, uh, it was, it was just, I think that a lot of the kids, we were really good when we were younger. I think a lot of the kids didn't grow big enough.

• 24:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you gotta be thick.

• 24:44Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of kids went to other sports too. Like we have a couple of kids, like rugby was a big thing in my high school.

• 24:49Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah.

• 24:50Speaker 05

  So a lot of kids started like transitioning into other sports, I feel like.

• 24:53Andrew Santino?

  You gotta be, you gotta have a thick shitter. That's the one rule. I got a buddy, uh, who played in the league. Uh, I'm gonna mispronounce his last name. Dion Fennuff. You know Dion Fennuff?

• 25:02Speaker 05

  I know Dion. Yeah, he's, uh, his niece, no, his, yeah, his niece is married to my cousin.

• 25:07Andrew Santino?

  Oh, really?

• 25:08Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 25:08Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, he's the man, but he's got a dumper dude. This guy, it's unbelievable. His legs and his butt are massive. That's what you need.

• 25:15Speaker 05

  Tree trunks.

• 25:15Andrew Santino?

  Skate power though, dude.

• 25:16Speaker 05

  Man, it's wild.

• 25:17Andrew Santino?

  And that's how you get your core so stable. That's how you're gonna put on a good hit on someone. Also, I just saw a clip this morning when I was, when I was getting ready, uh, oh, now I'm gonna mistake the name. He caught a puck to the mouth and a tooth flew, the whole tooth flew out.

• 25:30Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 25:31Andrew Santino?

  Who was that?

• 25:32Speaker 05

  Is this a recent one?

• 25:32Andrew Santino?

  It was just in my feet. It must've happened like two or, two or three days ago.

• 25:35Speaker 05

  I don't know who, who it was recently, but that.

• 25:36Andrew Santino?

  It was slow mo though.

• 25:37Speaker 05

  Bro, that happens all the time. Like the big, like Sidney Crosby, he got one, broke his jaw. I think he, 12 teeth got knocked out or something like that.

• 25:45Andrew Santino?

  That's all, I only have 12 teeth. That's all my teeth. But I saw the clip and like, I've seen people get pucked before to the face. But god dude, when you watch it in slow mo and you see the tooth fly out of his mouth, you're like,

• 25:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 25:58Andrew Santino?

  The pain is on, who is it?

• 26:00Speaker 05

  Is it Charlie McAvoy?

• 26:01Andrew Santino?

  Charlie McAvoy?

• 26:02Speaker 05

  There you go.

• 26:03Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 26:04Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:04Andrew Santino?

  To fly, fly in a free tooth. Also, it's kinda like a point of pride. It's almost like I'm, it's like getting a medal for the military.

• 26:10Speaker 05

  Yeah, spitting chicklets.

• 26:11Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, spitting chicklets. The boys, they're in town, by the way.

• 26:14Speaker 05

  They're in LA right now.

• 26:14Andrew Santino?

  Those guys are here right now.

• 26:16Speaker 05

  No way.

• 26:16Andrew Santino?

  I'm supposed to meet up with them tomorrow.

• 26:17Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 26:18Andrew Santino?

  But weather dependent, we were supposed to go out and maybe hack it around and play golf. I don't know if it's gonna happen. I know.

• 26:23Speaker 05

  We got like, uh, what's it called? An atmosphere river or something going on in LA right now?

• 26:26Andrew Santino?

  Is that what it's called?

• 26:26Speaker 05

  That's what I heard. I was like, this, that sounds awesome. I'm gonna start saying that.

• 26:30Andrew Santino?

  If we do play tomorrow.

• 26:32Speaker 05

  Oh, oh.

• 26:32Andrew Santino?

  You wanna go?

• 26:33Speaker 05

  I'll go out.

• 26:34Andrew Santino?

  With the boys?

• 26:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:35Andrew Santino?

  I think that'll be fun. They're all in town. I don't know what they're doing in LA.

• 26:38Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:38Andrew Santino?

  We'll, we'll talk after the show, but maybe, if it, the weather permitting, if we were able to play.

• 26:42Speaker 05

  Dude.

• 26:42Andrew Santino?

  Cause those guys are the best.

• 26:43Speaker 05

  And the last time I played with them.

• 26:47Andrew Santino?

  Do you play with any of them at the internet invitation?

• 26:48Speaker 05

  I played with Biz in, in, uh, Keith, actually.

• 26:50Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 26:51Speaker 05

  At the, at the internet. Um, but the last time I played, I played on their channel and Dave was my partner. In the, in the sandbagger. I mean, I probably played golf all of like 10 or 12 times in my life, so I'd like to get a good little like rematch against Wes.

• 27:04Andrew Santino?

  Does Portnoy play golf? I thought he doesn't play golf.

• 27:05Speaker 05

  No, he's not.

• 27:06Andrew Santino?

  No, he doesn't play golf.

• 27:07Speaker 05

  No, no, no, no, no. He attempts it.

• 27:09Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 27:09Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 27:10Andrew Santino?

  Well, that's right. He put it together. For those of you that don't know, we did the internet invitational, which I got a lot of, a lot of good comments and love from people. People didn't understand though. And this got put in. Francis Ellis texted me the other night. Cause now the episode's out, we can talk about it.

• 27:22Speaker 05

  Everything's out.

• 27:23Andrew Santino?

  It's already over. I know.

• 27:24Speaker 05

  You know who wins, everything's good.

• 27:25Andrew Santino?

  If it's a spoiler alert, you should have already been watching it.

• 27:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's on you.

• 27:28Andrew Santino?

  Um, but Francis Ellis texted me and I, cause I had commented on his video after he did the celebration saying we won. I said, I'm still a little bitter because we beat them in round one. But then becau, we won both of our matches, but because my team lost.

• 27:39Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 27:40Andrew Santino?

  We got eliminated.

• 27:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 27:41Andrew Santino?

  Which sucks, dude.

• 27:42Speaker 05

  No, for, I mean.

• 27:43Andrew Santino?

  It's not fair. If I lost, we lost, but we won and still lost.

• 27:46Speaker 05

  Yeah. You, you almost wonder like, should it have been more of like, uh, you get put into twos and it becomes a, a beat out tournament, right?

• 27:55Andrew Santino?

  That's what I want. Yeah.

• 27:56Speaker 05

  Does it become a twos and then a beat out tournament? I do understand why they do that for like the ranking system. So somebody like myself can still be playing in the golf tournament. They had me, they had me ranked, I think the third worst player in that tournament.

• 28:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 28:39Andrew Santino?

  You think that's true or not?

• 28:40Speaker 05

  No, not even close.

• 28:41Andrew Santino?

  Who was the worst in the tournament?

• 28:43Speaker 05

  Who was the worst in the tournament?

• 28:44Andrew Santino?

  Who do you think was, who would think was the lowest? This is good.

• 28:47Speaker 05

  Gosh, um...

• 28:49Andrew Santino?

  The Duke, the Duke was surprising.

• 28:51Speaker 05

  Yeah, the thing about the Duke is, he can putt.

• 28:55Andrew Santino?

  He can putt.

• 28:55Speaker 05

  So, as like a partner, he's not actually a bad player. Because like, he can putt and he'll hit a ball straight every time, he's not gonna hit it far. But if you shank a shot, you know, okay, I got one in the fairway at least, right? So I don't know if I'd put him as the worst. I might put, I may put my buddy Sketch down there, though.

• 29:11Andrew Santino?

  Sketch, Sketch had a tough go.

• 29:12Speaker 05

  I might put my buddy Sketch down there, um...

• 29:15Andrew Santino?

  But he doesn't really like golf, anyway.

• 29:16Speaker 05

  Yeah, he, he, he kinda knows, but I think it's kind of like, uh, he's, he's more there for the, for the talk.

• 29:22Andrew Santino?

  He, yeah, he wants the, well, he wants the party and the vibe.

• 29:25Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 29:25Andrew Santino?

  It was fun.

• 29:26Speaker 05

  Which is great, which is great. I think I'm better than Trent.

• 29:29Andrew Santino?

  Okay, I like this.

• 29:29Speaker 05

  I think I'm better than PFT.

• 29:31Andrew Santino?

  Have you gone head to head with these guys?

• 29:32Speaker 05

  I think I'm better than Bob. I think I'm better than Bob Does Sports, for sure. I've beat him head to head before.

• 29:37Andrew Santino?

  Let me tell you something, this is, I love this. You're drumming up some shit, my guy.

• 29:41Speaker 05

  Who else was playing that, I, I think, ah, man.

• 29:46Speaker 05

  Who was a, who was a lower quality player at the tournament?

• 29:49Andrew Santino?

  I'm trying to think of all the names that were on the, on the bottom half.

• 29:52Speaker 05

  There were a lot of good golfers, that's the problem.

• 29:54Andrew Santino?

  There was a lot of people that could play golf.

• 29:55Speaker 05

  I'm definitely in the bottom quarter.

• 29:58Andrew Santino?

  But you're, but you're, but you're...

• 29:59Speaker 05

  But I'm not last.

• 30:00Andrew Santino?

  You're gunning.

• 30:00Speaker 05

  I was, I was Mr. Nobody, I was the last pick of the draft.

• 30:04Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 30:04Speaker 05

  That was a tough feeling.

• 30:05Andrew Santino?

  Most, most, most followers on Instagram, last pick in the draft.

• 30:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 30:10Andrew Santino?

  And that's, that's almost like the most fair version of that, how it would go.

• 30:13Speaker 05

  I kind of was happy I got picked last when I, when I realized it because then I had no pressure.

• 30:20Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 30:21Speaker 05

  If I went out and played the worst golf of my life for three days, everyone's like, yeah, well, that was, he was last pick.

• 30:26Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 30:27Speaker 05

  Of course, of course he would.

• 30:28Andrew Santino?

  You did the opposite.

• 30:29Speaker 05

  And I played alright golf.

• 30:30Andrew Santino?

  You showed them. See, I, I played, so the last day because we were off. We don't have any footage of this, but uh, me and the boys uh, went out and played uh, just a quick little round and we got hammered.

• 30:43Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 30:44Andrew Santino?

  Like got hammered. And then on the last hole, on the 19th hole, where you're hitting on that island green, we were just sitting there having fun. And I think her name was Diane or Darla, the girl who was bartending there. She was really sweet. And Witt was, you know, chirping up with her, having a good time.

• 30:58Speaker 05

  That's the move.

• 30:58Andrew Santino?

  And she kept bringing us shots. And so we just kept playing the hole because no one's coming up behind us. And then she's like, hey, there's a bachelor party coming up. Just letting you guys know. It's like a group of guys. And I was like, alright.

• 31:08Speaker 05

  They're gonna love y'all.

• 31:09Andrew Santino?

  Well, I was like, should we get out, should we just, let's go back up to the lodge. And Witt was like, no way dude. We're gonna, we're gonna fucking bet a money dude. So they come cruising up and he's like, alright dude, closest to the pin, a hundred dollars a guy. And then all these guys were like, whoa, I don't, I don't know, man. And he like bullied him into it. He was like, come on dude, you're not gonna play like, what are you gonna chicken out? And then so everybody was finally, like everyone finally was like, alright, well then we're in. Like we're all in. So the whole group went. And we pushed, I think we pushed and then we, we beat him on the third. And the one dude, and then the one dude was like, I don't have cash. And Witt was like, well, you gotta get cash dude. Like that's how it goes. And he was like, no, just let us Venmo you. He's like, no way dude. Like we're walking up to the ATM. And I was like, he's gonna walk this dude to the ATM.

• 31:50Speaker 05

  He's gonna, he's gonna bully him into it.

• 31:51Andrew Santino?

  I love it though.

• 31:52Speaker 05

  I mean Witt will not let anybody get away with a thing.

• 31:54Andrew Santino?

  I love that though. But it was like, we, we said.

• 31:56Speaker 05

  He was getting trashed in the tournament.

• 31:58Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, he had fun. Yeah.

• 31:59Speaker 05

  I mean, like, but also like from the people.

• 32:01Andrew Santino?

  Oh.

• 32:02Speaker 05

  Like, did you see the people's reactions to Witt?

• 32:03Andrew Santino?

  I don't, I don't read it.

• 32:04Speaker 05

  They weren't, they weren't loving him. And I was kind of, I don't know if it's just the golf community is so different than the bar stool community.

• 32:11Andrew Santino?

  Hundred percent.

• 32:11Speaker 05

  And like the fandom, right? Um, but like the Luke Kwan of it all.

• 32:16Andrew Santino?

  Well, him going after Luke was very funny to me.

• 32:18Speaker 05

  I thought it was funny in the moment as well. And I, I don't know, maybe it's, it depends how you like grow up or, or what you're in, but like, I feel like growing up as somebody that was in like a locker room, like playing sports. That's like the shit you'd give your boys. Like, you know what I'm saying?

• 32:33Andrew Santino?

  It's very normal.

• 32:34Speaker 05

  If one of your boys showed up late to a practice and, and, and we're just talking practice. You're still gonna give it to the guy.

• 32:41Andrew Santino?

  Of course.

• 32:41Speaker 05

  You're still gonna be like, yo, what, you think you're fucking the shit? You think you're better than all of us? You don't have to show up, dude? Like, you're gonna do that regardless. I think like, I don't know, it seemed like people like-

• 32:51Andrew Santino?

  Did he catch heat for it? I didn't see.

• 32:52Speaker 05

  It seemed like people were like-

• 32:54Andrew Santino?

  Well, I'll say this, I'm on-

• 32:55Speaker 05

  Fucking fuck Barstool for making like Luke Quan, like, he's a great guy, like, people are going way too hard on him. And I'm like, yeah, maybe like, you know, there's a level to, you know, how hard we're roasting the guy. But it's like a fun moment and then we can move on.

• 33:08Andrew Santino?

  Also, it was great for the internet. So I don't know what everybody's mad about. It created something. But Luke knew what he got into. He apologized, I had saw, and I like Luke. I've known Luke for a little while now and he's a good kid. But like, I'm with Witt on this because Witt was angry that our team suffered.

• 33:22Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 33:23Andrew Santino?

  And by the way, people that really wanna know too, no, the whole thing was for a million dollars. So like, Witt was like, hey dude, you're screwing up a shot for our team, people on our team to win.

• 33:34Speaker 05

  It's not, it's not a you thing.

• 33:36Andrew Santino?

  It's not a you thing. It's about a team. So, that's why I think Witt's right. You would do, you would do that to anybody on your team. And he's a hockey player, they give each other shit, that's a part of the whole thing.

• 33:46Speaker 05

  A hundred percent.

• 33:47Andrew Santino?

  And so when he told me, he was like, I'm cooking Luke. I was like, go for it, man. It was fun to watch. I'm eating a sandwich, watching him light him up.

• 33:53Speaker 05

  We were just sitting all at the table together, just listening to Witt go crazy on Quan as he gets back into the like-

• 33:58Andrew Santino?

  I loved it.

• 33:59Speaker 05

  I don't know, the after place, but yeah, it was-

• 34:01Andrew Santino?

  Well, he got a post-game speech from Gruden, which was worth every, that's worth anything, right?

• 34:05Speaker 05

  It was great, yeah.

• 34:06Andrew Santino?

  But we, I had a fun time down there. I do think, if I go back next year, if it happens again the same way or whatever, I think the rules need to shift. Changes need to be made. And I also think, to make it really fun, I said there shouldn't be someone that picks their team. It should be a total lottery.

• 34:23Speaker 05

  Just, just ping pong balls kinda.

• 34:26Andrew Santino?

  Names out of a hat, right. And, and well, what you would do is same thing. You could have A-player, B-player, C-player or whatever.

• 34:31Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:31Andrew Santino?

  And those are three different pots.

• 34:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, you put them in different-

• 34:33Andrew Santino?

  But you pick a name from the pot.

• 34:34Speaker 05

  I like that, I like that too.

• 34:35Andrew Santino?

  Because drafting is great, I understand the draft, but it's more, um-

• 34:41Andrew Santino?

  It's more like, you know how in March Madness in basketball, any man can win? It's like any good, any team could blow off.

• 34:47Speaker 05

  Cinderella story.

• 34:48Andrew Santino?

  It's great. And that could be this. Instead of, the drafts are, you know, they're very calculated and I felt like if it was more random, then there's a better chance of having a great Cinderella story of someone choking, you know?

• 34:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:59Andrew Santino?

  That's what I like.

• 35:00Speaker 05

  No, I love.

• 35:00Andrew Santino?

  We'll see.

• 35:01Speaker 05

  There needs to be a way for an underdog to win.

• 35:04Andrew Santino?

  Has to be. That's the best. That's what we all want.

• 35:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 35:07Andrew Santino?

  But yeah, next time, we'll, you know, we'll see. But, and I also think Portnoy should play. I think that'll be, I think Portnoy gets to do, I even said it, I go, I said to Big Cat, I was like, "You should do required celebrity shots where he has to take one of your shots." That may screw you up, it may help you out.

• 35:25Speaker 05

  Right.

• 35:26Andrew Santino?

  But that's fun.

• 35:26Speaker 05

  That is cool.

• 35:27Andrew Santino?

  I think that should be more shaky.

• 35:28Speaker 05

  Game it up.

• 35:29Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, game it up, dude.

• 35:30Speaker 05

  We're not, we're not, we're not trying to compete.

• 35:32Andrew Santino?

  No, none of these guys are pros. Actually, that's not true. One guy was a pro. Yeah, Brad's a pro. Brad's a literal pro.

• 35:37Speaker 05

  He is a pro.

• 35:37Andrew Santino?

  And also, he should be DQ'd. You can't be a professional and play in an amateur tournament.

• 35:41Speaker 05

  Oh, it's, I played with him, I played with him in the Creator Classic.

• 35:43Andrew Santino?

  He's too good.

• 35:44Speaker 05

  And we won, obviously. I mean, he, we were playing alt shot and I did nothing but hurt our team that entire time in that alt shot tournament and he just would, he'd pull like, "Oh, we're behind three trees, I'm gonna have to curve this around 270, I got like 10 yards of a landing point." Alright, let me just hit that, bang.

• 36:04Andrew Santino?

  Did it.

• 36:05Speaker 05

  He'd just speak everything.

• 36:06Andrew Santino?

  He's nasty.

• 36:07Speaker 05

  God. I would pay so much money to be able to play golf like him.

• 36:11Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, but you know what? You're, you have things that he doesn't have. I can, we're gonna list them right here. Put up a list, Joe, of all the things that he has that Brad Dawkins doesn't have.

• 38:38Andrew Santino?

  So let me go backwards. We skipped over it because we poured a cocktail.

• 38:41Speaker 05

  We did, yes.

• 38:42Andrew Santino?

  BFFs is done.

• 38:43Speaker 05

  It's over. It's over.

• 38:45Andrew Santino?

  And this is not a bad thing. It's a good thing.

• 38:47Speaker 05

  Not at all. I think, you know. When we, me and Bree went and like took it on for a year on her own and I really wanted to build out BFFs cause for me, I own half of it.

• 38:59Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 39:00Speaker 05

  I'm different than kind of everyone else at Barstool where I'm not an employee of Barstool. I, I have like a joint venture with them. So for BFFs, that's a little bit of like a project that's been like my baby, right? And I, when Dave was leaving, I was like, okay, I think there's still value in this IP. I think there's still value in the socials, like how do we keep this going? So I was trying to do it with Bree and I think Bree has just went through so much, honestly, in the last year and like finding herself and figuring out like what her next steps are gonna be and who she is and whatnot that. I think BFFs just honestly like, it, it took a little bit of a back burner uh i- in the mind of kind of the creative team that was involved with it and i- it just wasn't getting the attention

• 39:42Speaker 05

  or like it wasn't getting the, the level of dedication that it deserved.

• 39:46Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 39:46Speaker 05

  And I didn't wanna be like, I think me and Bree both had the conversation and it's like, we don't wanna ever be doing something just for like a check.

• 39:53Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 39:53Speaker 05

  We don't wanna be doing something.

• 39:54Andrew Santino?

  If it's not fun, it's not fun.

• 39:54Speaker 05

  If, if, if it's losing its value or we feel like now we're, you know, doing a miss service to the audience as well, like, let's just, let's just end on a better note than trying to drag this into the mud. So I think that's kind of the idea and I don't think that, you know, that means me and Bree are done doing content together. I love working with Bree and I love getting to do stuff with her. So I think we'll still do stuff together and I think BFFs will, those socials and that will turn into something new as well. Um, I just, I don't know exactly what it is yet, so.

• 40:23Andrew Santino?

  We'll see.

• 40:23Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 40:23Andrew Santino?

  We've yet to be, yet to be told.

• 40:25Speaker 05

  Yet, yet to figure it out.

• 40:26Andrew Santino?

  Maybe BFF 2 when it makes a remake, like it's a Hollywood film.

• 40:29Speaker 05

  Right, yeah, just.

• 40:29Andrew Santino?

  Bring it back.

• 40:30Speaker 05

  We use the IP.

• 40:30Andrew Santino?

  But recast it.

• 40:31Speaker 05

  We'll see.

• 40:31Andrew Santino?

  Who plays you?

• 40:32Speaker 05

  Fast and Furious 12 and it's just the equivalent with BFFs.

• 40:34Andrew Santino?

  If they, if they recast it, who plays you in the sequel and who plays her?

• 40:38Speaker 05

  It's gonna have to be people that are kind of up and coming, right?

• 40:40Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's gotta be.

• 40:41Speaker 05

  Like some younger, some younger guys.

• 40:42Andrew Santino?

  Or someone really old that they're trying to revive. They do that in film a lot too.

• 40:45Speaker 05

  They do do that. Who, who are they trying to revive right now?

• 40:48Andrew Santino?

  Who they trying to bring back in movies big time? You know who's making like a second swing of his of his career? Kind of is Decovny, because he kind of was quiet for a long time. He Decovny, you know David Decovny? Bring up a photo, handsome guy.

• 40:59Speaker 05

  From the X-Files.

• 41:00Andrew Santino?

  From the X-Files. He also was Californication. Did you ever see that show?

• 41:03Speaker 05

  No.

• 41:03Andrew Santino?

  Man, that was a good old, that was a good show.

• 41:05Speaker 05

  He also plays a woman in Twin Peaks.

• 41:06Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's right. Decovny's a handsome guy, but he kind of like, he kind of got quiet, his queer career kind of got quiet for a little while. Now he's kind of, I feel like he's like popping back again, right? Who is?

• 41:16Speaker 05

  Larry Sanders Show?

• 41:17Andrew Santino?

  Larry Sanders Show, that's Decovny, handsome guy.

• 41:19Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 41:20Andrew Santino?

  Can he play you?

• 41:22Speaker 05

  That's too old. I mean, he's just.

• 41:23Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I know, but that's what we're doing. We're going up.

• 41:25Speaker 05

  We're going like way down.

• 41:26Andrew Santino?

  So Decovny will be you and Bree will be played by who? Who's someone that's making a revival in her career right now? That's popping back again, that went away for a while. Is there a woman that's making like a comeback pop?

• 41:37Speaker 05

  Not a lot of movies are making a comeback really in general.

• 41:39Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, isn't that crazy?

• 41:40Speaker 05

  Movies are kind of dying unfortunately.

• 41:41Andrew Santino?

  So no movies, we're done with film.

• 41:42Speaker 05

  Demi Moore?

• 41:43Andrew Santino?

  Ah, yeah. Okay, Bree can be Demi Moore.

• 41:45Speaker 05

  Demi Moore.

• 41:46Andrew Santino?

  Demi Moore and David Decovny.

• 41:47Speaker 05

  There we go.

• 41:47Andrew Santino?

  BFFs 2, your new pod.

• 41:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 41:49Andrew Santino?

  You guys just give them the creative, let them run with it.

• 41:51Speaker 05

  Let them run with it.

• 41:52Andrew Santino?

  I mean, you're a businessman, why not?

• 41:53Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 41:54Andrew Santino?

  You got, you have a bunch of different business ventures. You feel like you're, from the little I know of you.

• 41:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 41:59Andrew Santino?

  I feel like you've taught, you're touching a lot of bases. Like what are you, what are you involved in?

• 42:03Speaker 05

  Yeah, um, I have like a venture fund that's definitely one of the main focuses. So we raised, we were raising 15. I think we got oversubscribed and did 18. Um, so that's, you know, all venture. We're pretty agnostic across the board in our investments, uh, anywhere we feel like we can really leverage. We went about it in a little bit of a different way. I was 18 when I was raising the money for this, so it was kind of like, why would all these people give an 18-year-old millions of dollars?

• 42:29Andrew Santino?

  And why would they?

• 42:29Speaker 05

  To go and invest, right? And not like just, like a social media 18-year-old too, like I know the stigma. I'm pretty self-aware, I would say, like I know the stigma around TikTokers and especially at the time in COVID, to be like, I'm a TikToker and I'm going to go raise all this money and invest it, wasn't the easiest thing to do. So what I did was for all the LPs, like I just went out and got the biggest names I could get across the board of every single sector in either entertainment, uh, In any like, uh, like investing world in Bitcoin and I went and got like the Winklevoss twins or like Thomas Toll. Or I went and got Mark Wahlberg or I went and I just got these people that were big names to come in and be the investor.

• 43:11Speaker 05

  So then anytime I go and invest in a company, we usually sit in between the like one hundred to two hundred and fifty thousand check size. Uh, so we're not competing with other venture funds and they'll actually bring us into the deals, other venture funds. Because they get the credit for bringing us in and then we'll go in, go in like a two fifty check size. And then we'll be able to leverage the ninety nine, you know, LPs that we have that are all from these different worlds that. There's always going to be someone that can help one of the companies and they want to do that because they're involved in the fund and it's going to help their money. So the other funds get credit for bringing us in and doing all this good work. Then we get to come in without being competitors. So everyone wants us in because we're not giving too much money, like a million, two million, five, ten, twenty.

• 43:53Speaker 05

  Um, and then we're able to go and continue being in all these.

• 43:57Andrew Santino?

  Smart kid, huh?

• 43:58Speaker 05

  Different companies. So that's.

• 43:59Andrew Santino?

  Look at the difference. Look at him and look at you. Did you, you didn't go to college?

• 44:02Speaker 05

  No, I dropped out of high school.

• 44:04Andrew Santino?

  And look at that, kids at home, you don't need to go to college. This kid's successful. All you have to do is be handsome and smart and nice and it's going to work out. You put your one foot in front of the other and it works out just fine.

• 44:14Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 44:15Andrew Santino?

  That's incredible. No, you skipped, you, you said no to college because you went right into getting an entertainment.

• 44:19Speaker 05

  Yeah, so I, um, I, my senior year of high school, I switched into online and then I just never did it.

• 44:25Andrew Santino?

  Did mom and dad, were they a little bummed you didn't go? What do you guys call it, university, don't you?

• 44:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, there's still college. Um, but for a long time in Canada, college was seen as like, that's where the dumb kids go and then.

• 44:34Andrew Santino?

  Ah, is that what it is?

• 44:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, it was weird. In Canada, for, for a really long time, it was always like, you go to university if you're smart. If you're eighties and above, you go to university. If you're like not that smart, you're going to, you're going to college.

• 44:45Andrew Santino?

  What's below that? What's below college? Because I was that. Whatever's below college for you.

• 44:49Speaker 05

  Like an apprenticeship. But now it's, it's flipped. Now it's flipped. Like everyone wants to go into an apprenticeship now. Everybody wants to go and just get paid right out of high school and then not have to get into crippling student debt.

• 45:01Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, why?

• 45:01Speaker 05

  It, yeah, it makes a lot of sense.

• 45:02Andrew Santino?

  If you don't know what you're going to school for, why go to school?

• 45:04Speaker 05

  Why would you do it?

• 45:05Andrew Santino?

  My generation was probably one of the last generations that got to go to school. And it was still relatively fairly priced for college. And

• 45:14Speaker 05

  And like the job markets were good.

• 45:15Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it was, and you could get out and you didn't have to go to school for what your, what your, you know, your focus didn't need to be what your job was gonna be. But you were gonna be okay, cuz the education would, would help you.

• 45:24Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 45:24Andrew Santino?

  But I'm, you know, twenty years older. It's like, it was just a different time then. And then now, like, my sister, who's almost a decade younger than me, I see with even her class of like, you know, it's just harder. The job market's thinner. So now, I would say, you know, I don't have any kids. If I ever had kids, I would push them. I'd say, dude, just figure out what you enjoy. And let's focus on that. The school for a lot of people I know was a waste. I mean, I have friends that went to school for seven or eight years. Yeah.

• 45:50Speaker 05

  There's no

• 45:51Andrew Santino?

  No, it's crazy.

• 45:52Speaker 05

  Unless you're like a doctor, there's

• 45:54Andrew Santino?

  They're definitely not doctors. They know who they are. They're absolutely not. They need to go to the doctor more often. I'll say that, just because of their consumption of alcohol and food.

• 46:01Speaker 05

  I don't know. It's, it's another one of those like, uh, fake things that, that, you know, the government just pushed on us.

• 46:06Andrew Santino?

  Like Turkey.

• 46:06Speaker 05

  This is an American dream that you need to live. Like, you're gonna go to school, get good grades, you go to college, you meet the, your partner for life there, you know, you go and buy a house right out of college, you have your job, you have your kids, and that's your life. It's a blueprint to be happy, but it's just

• 46:20Andrew Santino?

  It's not true.

• 46:20Speaker 05

  The farthest thing from.

• 46:21Andrew Santino?

  That's right. You found, how did you, how did you start? What, what kinda popped you off in TikTok from the beginning then? What was the biggest thing that like bounced you into the, into this, you know?

• 46:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 46:32Andrew Santino?

  Viral world.

• 46:33Speaker 05

  I mean, I guess there was, there was a few like of those like, I guess, aha moments, right? That kind of were like, oh, this is, this is it, this is it, this is it. Um, but I think what, what really started it all was the, like, I was doing live streams, which is funny that that's now kind of this meta again with like Kai Sinek, and you see these guys that do these lives. Um, but I was going live on, do you remember Musically? So Musically was TikTok before ByteDance came in and acquired it. So it was the, like, have you ever heard of, um, this is a crazy poll, Jacob Sartorius?

• 47:06Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 47:07Speaker 05

  Okay, okay.

• 47:07Andrew Santino?

  Jacob Sartorius?

• 47:09Speaker 05

  Sartorius, yeah.

• 47:09Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 47:10Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so he was like this huge guy on this Musically platform. If you know, like, um, Like Shawn Mendes, the musician?

• 47:16Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 47:17Speaker 05

  He was kind of in that era. He was more in the Vine days, but like Meg Khan, this like group of guys, very much like sway or hype house kind of.

• 47:23Andrew Santino?

  They lived in that apartment together, was it this thing?

• 47:25Speaker 05

  Vine Street or whatever.

• 47:26Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, exactly. I remember hearing about this, yeah.

• 47:28Speaker 05

  So, um, uh, back then, Musically was the thing, and I would go live and, uh, I, I did it a couple of times just for fun. Like, I was posting, my sister posted me in a video on her account. It got like a hundred likes. We thought we were viral. Had a few comments on it from girls, so I was like, I guess I'm making it count, you know? Um, so then, uh, we started going live just because it was fun, and these like emojis would start popping up on the screen, and I'd be like, what the fuck are these? And somebody comments, and they're like, yo, those are donations. Like, people are sending you money.

• 47:58Andrew Santino?

  Hmm.

• 47:58Speaker 05

  And I was like, you can make money off this? Like, this is very new social media, right? This is twenty, twenty fifteen at the time, so this is kind of like, I didn't, I didn't even know you can make money off social media. And, uh, I, I start going live with my sister. I find out there's a leaderboard list of the top two hundred donators that updates twen- every twenty-four hours on the app. They would actually post who was sending in the most money. So I'm sitting there like thirteen, and I'm like, okay, I don't need a million followers, I just need those two hundred people every day. I just need those people. So I'd give my sister, my dad's a high school teacher, so he'd have a high school assigned iPad. I'd download Musically, give that to my sister, log into my account. She'd sit beside me. I'd go live for four hours from ten till two AM every night. I'd give her a fifteen percent

• 48:40Speaker 05

  commission-based salary. She'd sit there and she'd go through that list of two hundred and follow them, and like fifteen of their videos with my account being logged in. So I'd get sixteen notifications from this random Josh Richards kid, be like, oh, he's live. His profile's blinking red, I guess I'll go join. They'd join my live. I would know it was one of them because their username was highlighted in red, and I'd be like, yo, what's up, Ashley? How you doing? And then they'd send a gift. And then it was like, my sister would be like, ah, we got him. And then it would just be doing that for like-

• 49:05Andrew Santino?

  Bro!

• 49:06Speaker 05

  Every night for four hours. My dad ends up thinking I'm selling drugs because six hundred dollars is going through his PayPal every night. So he sent me down like, you know, Josh, I'm, I'm no oblivious kid. I went to high school once too, and-

• 49:19Andrew Santino?

  I get it. People like to do drugs, but.

• 49:21Speaker 05

  And I'm like, whoa, what, where's this conversation leading right now, man? Um, so then I had to explain to him what social media was and he's sitting there like, so you're on live and people are paying you. Um, yeah, yeah. And he's like, and it's on video. Kind of sounds gay. And I was like, yeah, I guess.

• 49:37Andrew Santino?

  Well, I am doing gay stuff on it.

• 49:40Speaker 05

  Well, I gotta get the money somehow. Like, what do you think? And no, but he was like, well, hey, you're making as much as a teacher. Keep it up. So he was like, they were really supportive, both my parents. They, they instantly were like, okay, how do we learn everything we can about social media? How do we, how do we know like what this is? And what you're doing? And, and they were always like that with everything I do. So, um, it was, it was great, but.

• 50:00Andrew Santino?

  That's huge. And dad was a high school teacher?

• 50:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, calculus teacher.

• 50:03Andrew Santino?

  What about your mom?

• 50:04Speaker 05

  She was a speech path.

• 50:05Andrew Santino?

  So that you, you came from some good stock.

• 50:08Speaker 05

  Both very like, they were very strict parents, but good parents, you know?

• 50:13Andrew Santino?

  But intelligent people.

• 50:14Speaker 05

  Yeah, of course.

• 50:15Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's, that's where your, that's where your business acumen comes from.

• 50:18Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 50:19Andrew Santino?

  The parents are obviously very smart.

• 50:20Speaker 05

  I mean, I think it was a really good combo, uh, growing up to have like, numbers be, you know, implemented in me very young, which is social media, numbers game. And then also the speech path side is like communication. So it's really the world of social media is numbers and communication. So like, I kind of came from the perfect parents for that.

• 50:36Andrew Santino?

  It's a perfect storm.

• 50:37Speaker 05

  They, they, yeah, they were always kind of just like super strong on that. They were super strong and like great. I needed to be a nineties kid. If I wasn't, I was.

• 50:45Andrew Santino?

  You were in deep shit.

• 50:46Speaker 05

  Oh, I was a month not seeing anything.

• 50:48Andrew Santino?

  You never not saw an A?

• 50:49Speaker 05

  If I, if I didn't, it was like, I'm going to be in my house for the next month beside school.

• 50:55Andrew Santino?

  Good God, dude.

• 50:56Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 50:57Andrew Santino?

  I was Mr. B and a lot of Cs.

• 51:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 51:02Andrew Santino?

  But Cs, Cs get degrees as far as my dad was concerned.

• 51:04Speaker 05

  Hey, I mean, once, you know, there's also this trickle down, uh, strictness that I find, ends up happening with parents, right? They have the first kid. It's like, you can't put sand in your mouth. The second kid comes around, it's like, come on, spit that out. Third kid comes around, it's like, eh, dirt never really hurt nobody, right? Like.

• 51:20Andrew Santino?

  And the fourth kid, they're like, put sand inside of that kid. Fill that kid up with sand.

• 51:24Speaker 05

  Yeah, fill him up with sand. Um, like my brother, when he was younger, not to throw you under the bus, well, I'm sorry, bro. I'm sorry, man. Um, but he was a, he was like a B C kid and they were just like, bah, he's, he's doing what he can.

• 51:36Andrew Santino?

  Well, that, you're the first?

• 51:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 51:37Andrew Santino?

  Well, they won with you. Yeah, they already hit the, they hit the lottery. The other ones, they were like, who gives a shit?

• 51:42Speaker 05

  They're like, you know what? We don't even need to start putting money in their school accounts anymore.

• 51:45Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, who cares?

• 51:46Speaker 05

  Fuck that.

• 51:46Andrew Santino?

  Well, how old is your, how old are your parents?

• 51:48Speaker 05

  My parents, my dad is fifty-six.

• 51:51Andrew Santino?

  Okay, I was gonna say.

• 51:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, my mom is fifty-three, fifty-four.

• 51:54Andrew Santino?

  I don't know if they had you, if they had you when they were young.

• 51:56Speaker 05

  No, no, no, they were.

• 51:57Andrew Santino?

  Their normal age.

• 51:58Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, my dad was like thirty-two when he had me, I think.

• 52:01Andrew Santino?

  Regular. What do you, what about you? You think you're gonna, you think you're gonna try at some point in the future? Down the road, do you wanna be a parent and get married and do that whole thing?

• 52:08Speaker 05

  Hundred percent. I mean, I...

• 52:10Andrew Santino?

  I mean, you're a long way from that, but, but...

• 52:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, I don't think, you know, I don't think I'll, I'll have my first kid until like thirty-two. I like that age number.

• 52:16Andrew Santino?

  Just around thirty, yeah.

• 52:17Speaker 05

  I, I just think it's a good number. It keeps you like, you're still able to be healthy enough where you can go out and, you know, be a coach or do the thing and be active with the kid. But you didn't have a kid at twenty-four, you know, like...

• 52:28Andrew Santino?

  Right. Don't have a kid next year.

• 52:29Speaker 05

  No, that's, that's not the plan. Um, so, no, but I, I want four kids. Like, I would be good with having, I'd be good with having like eight.

• 52:36Andrew Santino?

  You, seriously?

• 52:37Speaker 05

  Oh, for sure.

• 52:38Andrew Santino?

  My god.

• 52:38Speaker 05

  I would, I'd spread, spread the seed.

• 52:41Andrew Santino?

  You spread that seed, dude, huh?

• 52:42Speaker 05

  With one woman, one woman.

• 52:43Andrew Santino?

  Sure, or, well, yeah, I mean, that's whatever makes you happy. I don't care, whatever, whatever you do.

• 52:47Speaker 05

  No, definitely want it to be with one woman. Uh, Gabby's already, that, that, I think I've already found the lady.

• 52:52Andrew Santino?

  You think this is marriage?

• 52:54Speaker 05

  I, I do.

• 52:54Andrew Santino?

  My god.

• 52:55Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 52:55Andrew Santino?

  I've seen you guys together online. Uh, oh, it's cute. It's very cute. The kids get together on the internet.

• 53:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 53:01Andrew Santino?

  But now there's two sides of this coin, just to play devil's advocate.

• 53:04Speaker 05

  They're always there.

• 53:05Andrew Santino?

  Cause you see, you see what happens to a lot of people, especially like your old, like, like Bree, who I don't know. I have no, I don't know her at all. But, you know, when your late, relationships are public, it gets sketchy, cause the, the influence of the outside comes in to your relationship. Are you afraid of that hurting you guys at all?

• 53:22Speaker 05

  I think...

• 53:22Andrew Santino?

  Cause you're very public about it.

• 53:23Speaker 05

  Yeah, we are very public, but we've been very public since, since the beginning of our relationship and we're, we're over two, two and a half years now.

• 53:30Andrew Santino?

  So you're good.

• 53:31Speaker 05

  So I, I think we just, we just know how to handle it.

• 53:33Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 53:34Speaker 05

  And honestly, uh, the, the best part about it is we've, we've gotten better with it as time's gone on. So it hasn't been like this, like, oh, at the start we were ignoring it. And now it's building up inside of us and we're about to fucking unleash like Hiroshima upon each other. We got more of like, uh, okay, we've done a better job of understanding each other as time's gone on, so. I think, uh, I think it's, it's only led in the right direction.

• 53:56Andrew Santino?

  Just don't let in the outside noise.

• 53:57Speaker 05

  No.

• 53:58Andrew Santino?

  Keep the windows and the doors locked, you know what I mean?

• 54:00Speaker 05

  Exactly.

• 54:00Andrew Santino?

  That's the problem. I think that happens a lot in, in socially public relationships, particularly in, in. People that have grown such a significant following in social media like you, you know, like. I think a lot of times you see outside influence get involved and it starts to dart its way into your.

• 54:14Speaker 05

  Definitely.

• 54:14Andrew Santino?

  Into your opinions, into your actions, and I think as long as you shut that shit out. And just focus on what's making you guys happy, I think you're fine.

• 54:22Speaker 05

  I mean, you hear something too many times, right? It's gonna.

• 54:25Andrew Santino?

  There's a lot of horror stories out there.

• 54:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, and, and, and it does suck because. The other thing is like, we'll do live streams together a lot, right? So we go live and people take a clip. And they post, uh, a 10 second snippet from a, you know, three minute bit that was going on.

• 54:41Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 54:41Speaker 05

  And, you know, I, I'm very lucky where I've found a girl that has good banter. They're tough to find, right? But, but I have found one that is actually, I find really funny. And she will go back and forth with me and she'll give me shit and I think that's hilarious and we'll, you know, we'll, we'll pick at each other a little bit. Um, but someone takes a 10 second clip of that, puts it out. And then they, you know, throw a headline on Josh Richards disrespecting or sexualizing or it's like, yo.

• 55:10Andrew Santino?

  Shut up. Well, they're gonna, everything's pulled out of context. The internet, uh, what do we say? Nuance is dead.

• 55:17Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 55:17Andrew Santino?

  Context is gone. People don't, people, there's no need to see the whole thing because they've already made up their mind.

• 55:22Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 55:23Andrew Santino?

  You know? Like, that's the strangest. I, it's the, it's the detriment of the popularity of like internet videos and interaction with, interacting with parasocial relationships. People really do think they know you. You know, it's very strange.

• 55:37Speaker 05

  They, they think they know what's best for you, which blows my mind even more, right? Like, you might know a lot of things about me. But you don't know, you don't know what's best for like that's

• 55:46Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 55:47Speaker 05

  It's wild, the assumptions.

• 55:48Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's crazy.

• 55:49Speaker 05

  Um, so I don't know, i- i- it does get tricky, but uh, I think a lot of the times how I look at it is like, the people that are commenting those types of comments.

• 55:59Andrew Santino?

  Negative shit, you mean.

• 56:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like just attacking and negative. Those people probably would have never been a fan anyways, right? They're never someone that's gonna consume the content or be somebody that I wanna have in like the community of people that watch my stuff, so at the end of the day, there's no loss.

• 56:13Andrew Santino?

  Kick rocks.

• 56:14Speaker 05

  There's no loss.

• 56:14Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, no, that's also true. I- ironically, on the other hand, some of those people are your biggest fans, cuz they watch everything that you do.

• 56:21Speaker 05

  Right?

• 56:21Andrew Santino?

  They're obsessed with you, yeah.

• 56:22Speaker 05

  Yeah, I mean, talking about Bree, Bree has a Reddit snark page that has thirty thousand active members.

• 56:30Andrew Santino?

  People commenting about her all day.

• 56:32Speaker 05

  Twenty-four seven.

• 56:32Andrew Santino?

  That's crazy.

• 56:33Speaker 05

  And I mean, they might be her biggest fans in the world, because every time a story goes up, every time, I mean, she could tweet something and it's instantly uploaded in the Reddit and thirty thousand people.

• 56:41Andrew Santino?

  It's pretty powerful. When you think about it, that's very odd to have that much power. Like, you know, and I, again, I've never met her, I don't know her, I only see what I've seen of her on the internet and through you guys in the show with Dave and everything. And uh, it is, it's a, to see that from the outside, it is a bummer to watch like a public relationship go sour, and then people have their opinion about it, when particularly when most people at home don't have their own relationships together, but they're quick to be like, you know, "Oh, and I knew this, that's because he's a dick or she sucks," or whatever, and you're like, you don't know. I always say, you don't know what's going on in somebody's bedroom. You don't know what people are like when they lay down at night. When you turn off the livestream, I don't know what you and your girlfriend are talking about.

• 57:22Speaker 05

  No.

• 57:23Andrew Santino?

  That's a, that's your world that exists separate of this other thing, but.

• 57:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, and people forget how many people like put on a facade.

• 57:29Andrew Santino?

  For sure.

• 57:30Speaker 05

  Right? Like, that's the thing that blows my mind, is like, especially like in this social media world, because in the, in the acting world, it's a little different because you're playing a character.

• 57:40Andrew Santino?

  All the time.

• 57:41Speaker 05

  Right? So you're not yourself, ever.

• 57:43Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 57:44Speaker 05

  You need to show up as yourself for like press interview junket, maybe when you go on a podcast, and like the red carpet. That's about it, right?

• 57:51Andrew Santino?

  But even then, you're kinda putting on a show.

• 57:52Speaker 05

  You're still kinda putting on a act, right? Like, you're, you're, you're elevated self in that moment. With social media influencers, like, they're putting on a facade so often, twenty-four seven in their lives, like, you meet some of these people behind the scenes and you're like. Who the fuck are you? Like, you're not the same guy.

• 58:10Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, dude.

• 58:11Speaker 05

  At all.

• 58:11Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 58:12Speaker 05

  So i- it just, yeah, no one really knows.

• 58:14Andrew Santino?

  You kinda cracked a small, that's why I ki- I liked you. When I met you, I thought, I knew nothing about you other than I knew who you were, or knew of of you, of you. And, uh, we met and we kicked it that night and I thought, you're a good dude, man. You're not, uh, I- I- you were different than what I thought, uh, social media world was gonna be. Cause I thought, well, he's gonna be wrapped up in that bullshit and...

• 58:33Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 58:34Andrew Santino?

  That's fine. Cause you know, a lot of times those guys, I see them out and about and they're full camera crews and they're putting on an act and all this stuff. But there was no act, no bullshit with you. You came with-

• 58:42Speaker 05

  Appreciate that.

• 58:42Andrew Santino?

  Who was that buddy that you came with, um?

• 58:44Speaker 05

  Chris Sato?

• 58:45Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah.

• 58:46Speaker 05

  That was, yeah, he's my, so, um, the production company I have. We run that together.

• 58:50Andrew Santino?

  But ni- but good people, when you keep surrounding yourself with good people, it's a tell. You know, who you surround yourself with is gonna be a tell over who you really are. Unfortunately, I surround myself with him and a few other scumbags, but that's only becau- it's charity work.

• 59:02Speaker 05

  Bobby Lee.

• 59:03Andrew Santino?

  Bobby's a pig, yeah.

• 59:04Speaker 05

  You know what's crazy is a, um, I really wanted to tell you the story, actually. Um, I went to a psychic.

• 59:11Andrew Santino?

  Okay.

• 59:11Speaker 05

  Recently.

• 59:12Andrew Santino?

  Where? Here in LA?

• 59:13Speaker 05

  Here in LA.

• 59:13Andrew Santino?

  Uh-oh.

• 59:13Speaker 05

  Went to a psychic. And, uh, by the way, so expensive.

• 59:18Andrew Santino?

  Hmm.

• 59:19Speaker 05

  A psychic?

• 59:20Andrew Santino?

  A psychic? Is it really? I've never done one.

• 59:22Speaker 05

  I did, I- I-

• 59:23Andrew Santino?

  Well, we had one live on the show, I guess, but we didn't go to someone.

• 59:25Speaker 05

  We went for the podcast, right? We went for the podcast. Um, but I- I don't know if they, they knew the podcast, they were like, okay, let's upcharge them a little bit. I think this thing was like $700 an hour.

• 59:36Andrew Santino?

  For a reading?

• 59:37Speaker 05

  For a reading.

• 59:38Andrew Santino?

  $700?

• 59:39Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 59:40Andrew Santino?

  Ours was cheaper than that and the woman came to us.

• 59:42Speaker 05

  Reading. Like, I don't know what, they, they better have read deep.

• 59:45Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's, that's dirty.

• 59:46Speaker 05

  You gotta be right.

• 59:47Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 59:47Speaker 05

  But, um, no. She did, you know, sat down, she looked at me, she went, "You're an angel." So she got me right away.

• 59:54Andrew Santino?

  She was hitting on you right away.

• 59:55Speaker 05

  Best $700 I ever spent, right? I was like, "Yeah, yeah, tell me about how great I am." Uh, but, um, the, one of the first things she, she says to me is when she's looking into my eyes is she goes, "A little Asian man." And I went, "Pardon me?" She goes-

• 1:00:12Andrew Santino?

  You're destined, you're destined to make incredible comedy with a little Asian man, a funny little Asian man.

• 1:00:21Speaker 05

  And I went, the only one I know is Bobby Lee.

• 1:00:23Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:00:23Speaker 05

  That's the only, only one that popped into my head. So I'm, I think I'm destined to meet Bobby Lee.

• 1:00:28Andrew Santino?

  You wanna take over Bad Friends? Do it, man.

• 1:00:30Speaker 05

  I'm just saying I'm destined to meet him. I'm just saying I'm destined to meet him.

• 1:00:32Andrew Santino?

  Take it over, it's a fucking nightmare. Go get over it. You wanna do it, dude, have at it! Honestly, that's funny because, uh, our, him and I's relationship, which is, you know, for me, comedy lightning in a bottle, I, you know, I've said pretty adamantly that I think it's the greatest thing that's ever happened in my career for the, fun-wise. Just fun-wise, you know, like, it is very successful, it's great, but it's the most fun I'd ever had. And it was just him and I kind of making up for lost COVID time. You know, that's really, I mean, you know, that's kind of what we were doing was like, well, we can just do the show all the time, and fuck it, we're not touring, like, so that's kind of what catapulted that show a little bit, but we always got on so well, and it was right under my nose.

• 1:01:17Andrew Santino?

  Like, I kind of just, we never thought about it. We just kind of were, we would always goof, and we were really good together, but it's, sometimes I think in this weird entertainment industry, it's usually right in front of your face, but you, it's hard to see.

• 1:01:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:01:31Andrew Santino?

  And maybe it takes someone else, and to her credit, Kalila, his ex-girlfriend, she, she was kind of the one, truly, that put that, that, that told us we should do it.

• 1:01:41Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:01:42Andrew Santino?

  Genuinely, it was, we had joked about it, but she was like, no, you really should do the show together. And we didn't want to step on toes because he had his show with that, with, he had Tiger Belly, and I was doing this independently. And it just kind of happened, and she was really the catalyst for it, like, I give her a lot of credit. She was the one that was like, why wouldn't you guys try? And I was like, I don't know, we just, I don't know.

• 1:02:00Speaker 05

  And has that now grown bigger than both of your solo podcasts?

• 1:02:04Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that thing is, yeah, that thing is big. We have a couple million subs, I think, and, uh, yeah, right, two something? Yeah, it's great.

• 1:02:11Speaker 05

  Yeah, I feel like I always see it.

• 1:02:13Andrew Santino?

  Well, the internet did, much credit to, to social media and, and people.

• 1:02:16Speaker 05

  The clipping was incredible.

• 1:02:18Andrew Santino?

  We let the kids clip it to death. I mean, people had, people- or like can we clip it and use it and we're like yeah absolutely

• 1:02:23Speaker 05

  well that's you know how much money some high school kids are making nowadays

• 1:02:26Andrew Santino?

  I like it good

• 1:02:27Speaker 05

  it's it is crazy

• 1:02:29Andrew Santino?

  well we got we got called did we talk about this one time and we got called from a tiktok rep one time at the very beginning remember that and they were like hey these guys are all making a lot of content on you we had like a

• 1:02:39Speaker 05

  like fan pages that were making your content

• 1:02:41Andrew Santino?

  yeah and this liaison was like hey man just letting you guys know because we had just started our tiktok page I think or something and they were like hey you should um you should know these people are making real money on your

• 1:02:49Speaker 05

  yeah

• 1:02:50Andrew Santino?

  clips and I said well how much money are they making and then she's like oh this is making a couple of grand this is making this this is making that and she's like do you want us to flag them or borrow them or remove them and I was like no that doesn't even make sense I was like I don't care they can keep the money they're making the clips

• 1:03:03Speaker 05

  and it's also incredible promo

• 1:03:05Andrew Santino?

  yeah it's great work

• 1:03:06Speaker 05

  and the amount of money you're gonna get recouped for those like from people stealing your content or whatever you want to like label it as the value there is so much less than the than the promotion that they give you

• 1:03:17Andrew Santino?

  yes I was like we'll take the also we used to say like uh we had one point I came in and I said dude this these kids that are clipping our clips are doing better clips than we're doing

• 1:03:25Speaker 05

  oh

• 1:03:26Andrew Santino?

  so I was like just copy their clips these kids are already putting all the work

• 1:03:29Speaker 05

  click download repost their stuff

• 1:03:31Andrew Santino?

  dude let's just let's just copy whatever some of these guys are doing

• 1:03:33Speaker 05

  making over a hundred thousand dollars a year doing clips

• 1:03:35Andrew Santino?

  just doing clips

• 1:03:36Speaker 05

  just doing clips

• 1:03:37Andrew Santino?

  good for them

• 1:03:37Speaker 05

  amazing

• 1:03:38Andrew Santino?

  I didn't have the opportunity in high school the only guys I knew that were making real money in my generation you were selling drugs

• 1:03:43Speaker 05

  yup

• 1:03:44Andrew Santino?

  or you were selling drugs you really didn't there wasn't there was like no that was it

• 1:03:48Speaker 05

  dad wasn't wrong to question me in the way you questioned me by the way like it made sense

• 1:03:53Andrew Santino?

  yes he's right

• 1:03:54Speaker 05

  it really did

• 1:03:54Andrew Santino?

  and I did sell drugs in high school and I I did make a lot of money I sold weed not drugs I sold weed

• 1:04:00Speaker 05

  yeah which is like kind of like soft

• 1:04:02Andrew Santino?

  it was soft it was just so I could make enough money to have weed

• 1:04:05Speaker 05

  right right you can't even really

• 1:04:07Andrew Santino?

  so I got free weed

• 1:04:08Speaker 05

  you can't really even call yourself a drug dealer

• 1:04:09Andrew Santino?

  I well I did not I would have never I would never no I was a I was a I was a um a free weeder

• 1:04:15Speaker 05

  I tried to invest in drug dealers when I was younger

• 1:04:17Andrew Santino?

  you did

• 1:04:18Speaker 05

  yeah yeah yeah yeah it was one of the things

• 1:04:20Andrew Santino?

  you were a pimp

• 1:04:20Speaker 05

  when I started making money with social media I I was like man like I want to make money with my money and how how can I do that quickly so I actually started meeting with like three or four of the drug dealers in my small town and was like so like let's talk numbers like if I was to front you like five grand ten grand what do we get and what is our profit here

• 1:04:39Andrew Santino?

  this Pablo Escobar dude

• 1:04:40Speaker 05

  what are we doing um I ended up not doing it out of fear and from the fact that I came from you know a white Together family household. And I was like, I don't need to.

• 1:04:50Andrew Santino?

  You didn't want to go to prison?

• 1:04:51Speaker 05

  I didn't mess any of this up.

• 1:04:52Andrew Santino?

  Right, you didn't want to go to prison. Prison would have been bad.

• 1:04:55Speaker 05

  Bad for me.

• 1:04:56Andrew Santino?

  What do they call it? What's that? Raceteering? Is that what he would have been involved in? That was been the crime?

• 1:04:59Speaker 05

  Something, man.

• 1:05:00Andrew Santino?

  Financing drug dealers? I think it's raceteering, right? Isn't that what that is? Or am I wrong?

• 1:05:03Speaker 05

  I almost, I almost was tempted to bet on Polly Market that Brad Dalkey and them were all gonna win the

• 1:05:09Andrew Santino?

  Should have done it.

• 1:05:10Speaker 05

  Barstool Invitational, but I was like, I saw those NBA guys go down for it and I always thought, you know what, maybe I won't.

• 1:05:14Andrew Santino?

  Don't want to be like that.

• 1:05:15Speaker 05

  I don't want to be like that, but I saw the Polly Market odds. It was like, it was like, before the last video came out. I mean, you saw, there were only two options left. You could bet on Beef. You could bet on Beef or Francis to win, win the Invitational. And it was like, if you put down 10,000, you were winning like 15. And I was like.

• 1:05:38Andrew Santino?

  It's immoral.

• 1:05:39Speaker 05

  It didn't feel right.

• 1:05:40Andrew Santino?

  You don't need to do that.

• 1:05:41Speaker 05

  It didn't feel right.

• 1:05:41Andrew Santino?

  No, what is it? Is it raceteering? Was that right? What is that?

• 1:05:45Speaker 06

  Mine just said money laundering when I looked it up, but I don't know.

• 1:05:48Andrew Santino?

  Maybe it is laundering money, yeah.

• 1:05:49Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:05:50Andrew Santino?

  No, yeah, you can't do that. But, and also rest in peace Beef, a man who I didn't really know. I only met him through that very moment in time.

• 1:05:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, I got to play nine holes with him. So it was great. I'm really happy like I got to do that, you know? Just a, just a guy you could tell was a light. You know what I mean?

• 1:06:05Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:05Speaker 05

  Like, you could tell every time he walked in a room, like, everyone loved him.

• 1:06:09Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, he seemed extremely sweet. And you know what sucks about that is, and this is, you know, this sounds like you want more? You want some sauce?

• 1:06:16Speaker 05

  I'll take a little more sauce if you got it.

• 1:06:17Andrew Santino?

  It sounds, it sounds like I'm.

• 1:06:18Speaker 05

  Do you want more sauce? I don't want to drink a lot.

• 1:06:20Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, no, I will do.

• 1:06:21Speaker 05

  Okay, okay.

• 1:06:21Andrew Santino?

  This sounds like I'm placating, but we say this in the comedy world, when somebody dies, you're like, why him? There's so many other guys that could have died that I don't like.

• 1:06:27Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:06:27Andrew Santino?

  Why did it have to be a guy that I like? Like, that was the most, whenever someone in comedy dies, it's always a guy that you go, that guy, that guy's rad.

• 1:06:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:06:35Andrew Santino?

  Why'd that guy die?

• 1:06:35Speaker 05

  Cause there's a lot of bad guys in comedy.

• 1:06:36Andrew Santino?

  There's so many dudes that could die and I'd go, okay.

• 1:06:39Speaker 05

  Yeah, thank God, dude.

• 1:06:40Andrew Santino?

  Not gonna miss that guy at all.

• 1:06:40Speaker 05

  Yeah, right.

• 1:06:41Andrew Santino?

  So it is true that God, that God takes the good ones for some reason, but that guy seemed very nice.

• 1:06:46Speaker 05

  They're too good for this place.

• 1:06:47Andrew Santino?

  That's a good, that's a good perspective.

• 1:06:49Speaker 05

  You know, let's look at it that way.

• 1:06:50Andrew Santino?

  They're too good, they're too good for this place.

• 1:06:51Speaker 05

  And God goes, let's get them to the best place they can be.

• 1:06:54Speaker 02

• 1:08:18Speaker 05

  Are you a religious man?

• 1:08:20Andrew Santino?

  You know, it's funny. Religious is a tough word. I don't, I would say-

• 1:08:25Speaker 05

  Don't, don't tell me you're one of those guys that's in LA now and goes, "I'm spiritual."

• 1:08:29Andrew Santino?

  No, no, no, no. No, I grew up-

• 1:08:31Speaker 05

  I'd have to walk out of the pod probably.

• 1:08:32Andrew Santino?

  I grew up Catholic when I was a kid and then-

• 1:08:35Speaker 05

  There we go, cheers to that.

• 1:08:36Andrew Santino?

  Presbyterian, which is like diet Catholic. It's like Coke Zero for Catholic, you know?

• 1:08:40Speaker 05

  Are you a Coke Zero guy?

• 1:08:41Andrew Santino?

  No, but that's kind of what it feels like. Because it feels like it's close to the product, but it's not the same thing. It doesn't taste as good. The payoff isn't probably as good.

• 1:08:48Speaker 05

  Just drink regular Coke in my mind.

• 1:08:49Andrew Santino?

  Well, but Presbyterian, we just have a longer line to get in. That's all it is. You know what I mean?

• 1:08:53Speaker 05

  You guys kind of got to like, you got to like check your coats. It's like, takes a while?

• 1:08:57Andrew Santino?

  Well, we, we, Presbyterians are allowed the, um- The, we don't have priests, they have uh ministers and they're allowed to uh get, be married, have children, have a happy family, which I'm very pro. The Catholic thing was very weird that it's like, let that guy get married, man, I don't get it.

• 1:09:13Speaker 05

  He, he's, he's fuming by the way.

• 1:09:16Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, let that poor guy get married, let that guy get married. He's like, I married God. It's like, that's not a real thing, dude. Just, just have a family.

• 1:09:23Speaker 05

  Get a nut off.

• 1:09:23Andrew Santino?

  So that's what I like about the Presbyterians that when my.

• 1:09:26Speaker 05

  It's safer for everyone.

• 1:09:27Andrew Santino?

  It's nice, they'll let the guys be happy. In fact, my parents had, had a minister couple that was, a husband and wife that both switched off uh giving sermons and stuff, which I thought that was real, that was rad.

• 1:09:38Speaker 05

  Uh, it's the same too, right?

• 1:09:39Andrew Santino?

  Well, Christian, big umbrella, Christians, everything, but I mean like Presbyterian or I think maybe Lutherans like that maybe, or one of the two, Methodist, my dad was one of those other ones down south.

• 1:09:49Speaker 05

  There's no other one but Catholic where you can't get married though, right? As the priest?

• 1:09:53Andrew Santino?

  I don't, I think, I don't know, I'd be ignorant to say I know, but I don't, he can look it up. But I know, I know that and that always bothered me because the priests were always in a bad mood. In fact, when my grandma died, um, a couple of us were cracking jokes. We're Irish, that's what you do when people die.

• 1:10:07Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:10:07Andrew Santino?

  And the priest didn't even crack a fucking smile.

• 1:10:10Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 1:10:10Andrew Santino?

  And I was like, take it easy, father.

• 1:10:12Speaker 05

  Well, the Catholics, they're harsh, man. Eh, it's more about like, I find like when I was going to school in, in, in a Catholic school, because in Canada, we have public funded Catholic schools.

• 1:10:23Andrew Santino?

  Oh, they're not private?

• 1:10:24Speaker 05

  They're not private. So like, we go to Catholic school and it's public. Um, so I went to a Catholic public school and they would teach us more about hell than heaven.

• 1:10:32Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:33Speaker 05

  It's like they wanna fear, they want you to be

• 1:10:36Andrew Santino?

  The installation of fear is real.

• 1:10:37Speaker 05

  Scared.

• 1:10:38Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's right.

• 1:10:38Speaker 05

  They want you to be fearful that if you make the wrong move, you are going to hell and you are gonna burn forever. It's not like be a good person because you're gonna go to heaven. I find it's very like, be afraid because you could go to hell.

• 1:10:50Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you might go to hell. Were you jerking off? You're gonna go to hell.

• 1:10:53Speaker 05

  Yeah, or you're gonna be blind or something. And it's like. I'm in junior kindergarten. I don't even know what jerking off is yet.

• 1:10:59Andrew Santino?

  No, wait till you find out though. You're gonna love it. Well, see what's interesting about going blind from masturbating, I, my vision is getting worse as I get older. So that does kind of align.

• 1:11:08Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:11:08Andrew Santino?

  What they should have told you was it's a sliding scale. Like, you won't go blind the first thousand times.

• 1:11:12Speaker 05

  It's like the opposite of carrots.

• 1:11:13Andrew Santino?

  It's gonna catch up to you. Well, I eat carrots while I jerk off, so I'm trying to offset it a little bit.

• 1:11:17Speaker 05

  Then you're probably batting.

• 1:11:19Andrew Santino?

  That's also why I'm orange. Yeah, I think so. I got 20/20 vision, kid, just because of those carrots. Tell me, is it the only one where the pre, where the, the, the, the?

• 1:11:26Speaker 05

  I got it, man. I could see maybe monks not getting married and stuff, but.

• 1:11:30Speaker 06

  Protestants, Protestants.

• 1:11:32Andrew Santino?

  Protestants, they can't.

• 1:11:32Speaker 06

  They don't allow, and it's just Catholics and.

• 1:11:34Andrew Santino?

  Protestant Protestants.

• 1:11:35Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah. Catholics and Protestants.

• 1:11:37Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, so to go, but to answer your question, what? Say it. Go ahead.

• 1:11:39Speaker 06

  It only became a rule in the 11th century.

• 1:11:43Speaker 05

  So before they were getting married?

• 1:11:44Speaker 06

  Yeah, the Latin Catholic Church required celibacy and priesthood since the Gregorian Reform in the late 11th century under the influence.

• 1:11:50Andrew Santino?

  Goddamn Gregorians, man.

• 1:11:52Speaker 05

  They always fucked it up for us, eh?

• 1:11:53Andrew Santino?

  I'll tell you why they changed it up. I'll tell you why. Because one guy, one priest, couldn't get laid, and he was like.

• 1:11:59Speaker 05

  He was a loser.

• 1:12:00Andrew Santino?

  You know what? We shouldn't get married at all. And everyone's like, what? No.

• 1:12:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, that, that, vagina's probably taboo for the Bible.

• 1:12:07Andrew Santino?

  Chicks are probably gross, anyway, right, God?

• 1:12:09Speaker 05

  They're like witches, so.

• 1:12:11Andrew Santino?

  I had a dream, God talked to me and said, we shouldn't do with chick stuff anymore. We should be.

• 1:12:15Speaker 05

  I saw a burning bush and he said, no more bushes.

• 1:12:18Andrew Santino?

  No more bushes.

• 1:12:19Speaker 05

  He said, yo, the bush is not the move.

• 1:12:21Andrew Santino?

  And they're like, well, what about shaved? He's like, no, no.

• 1:12:24Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:12:24Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 1:12:25Speaker 05

  That's not gonna be around for so long anyways, guys. We don't even have to worry about that.

• 1:12:28Andrew Santino?

  Ten centuries away, man.

• 1:12:30Speaker 05

  By the time that comes around, who knows?

• 1:12:32Andrew Santino?

  So we're not, I wouldn't say religious, because I don't, I think it's a vague term, but I have my, uh, belief system. Uh, and, uh, I believe that, um,

• 1:12:45Andrew Santino?

  I believe that I'm a tiny little bullshit dot on something much more powerful and grand than me. I can't really define it. But I know that.

• 1:12:53Speaker 05

  You think that there's a greater power.

• 1:12:55Andrew Santino?

  Oh, well, I would, I think it'd be hard to deny that.

• 1:12:57Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:12:57Andrew Santino?

  I mean, I'm sure people do. But I'm saying.

• 1:12:59Speaker 05

  There's atheists.

• 1:13:00Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, well, that silliness.

• 1:13:01Speaker 05

  There's people that think you just die and you die, that's it.

• 1:13:03Andrew Santino?

  Sure, okay, but also, that's insane.

• 1:13:06Speaker 05

  I think that's why.

• 1:13:07Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. It's the same way I still look at like a microwave. You're like, I don't even know how that works, but it does. Do you know what I mean? It's like, well, there's gotta be something. Holy shit. I can't explain half of the things on earth, but I'm like. If this, if I can see the things that I can't explain, there's gotta be something that I definitely can't explain. I mean, I don't think the mind can encompass. If we use such little of our brains, imagine if we could use it, we'd probably start to see more than what, what exists.

• 1:13:29Speaker 05

  I thought that was all bullshit. I thought the whole, like, we only use like nine percent of our brains was like a bullshit thing.

• 1:13:34Andrew Santino?

  It's real.

• 1:13:35Speaker 05

  Is that real?

• 1:13:35Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah, dude.

• 1:13:36Speaker 06

  It's fake. You only, you can only use a certain amount at any given time.

• 1:13:39Andrew Santino?

  Time, that's what I mean.

• 1:13:40Speaker 06

  You use all of it.

• 1:13:41Andrew Santino?

  No, no, no. Yeah, no, that, this is kinda like, these are two things getting conflated. You only use a small percentage at once. What it's saying is, it's impossible for the brain to be used in completion at one time. It's impossible for like, it's like, it'd be like saying, you know,

• 1:13:57Andrew Santino?

  only one section of your heart is working right now. Well, we're using, you're using the whole thing. This thing is pretty dynamic.

• 1:14:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:14:03Andrew Santino?

  You can only use a little bit of it at once. Imagine if you could use all of it at once. We'd be, we'd be, we'd be floating right now.

• 1:14:10Speaker 05

  Right. I'd be levitating.

• 1:14:11Andrew Santino?

  We'd be levitating.

• 1:14:12Speaker 05

  Talking about flying, I saw you in Now You See Me Three last night.

• 1:14:15Andrew Santino?

  Oh, you watched that movie, huh?

• 1:14:17Speaker 05

  When the guy flew, flew, flew away from you, you went, oh shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:14:20Andrew Santino?

  How was it?

• 1:14:20Speaker 06

  I didn't see it.

• 1:14:21Speaker 05

  It was good.

• 1:14:21Andrew Santino?

  I gotta go watch it. We gotta go as a family.

• 1:14:24Speaker 05

  You, what, what was your, what, Bert? What was your character's name?

• 1:14:28Andrew Santino?

  Oh, I don't remember. Isn't that funny? I should know. He's like a crypto bro is what the pitch was.

• 1:14:33Speaker 05

  Crypto bro. He was a crypto.

• 1:14:34Andrew Santino?

  And they were like, and I, and I was ripping people off or something? I should look up the name of my guy. Pump and dump. I was classic pump and dump, doggy.

• 1:14:41Speaker 05

  Stole the money from the people, and then, and then you dumped all yours, so everyone lost their money, and then they went and did their, you know, horseman act.

• 1:14:49Andrew Santino?

  I won't even be in, look, I'm not even in the fucking cast.

• 1:14:52Speaker 05

  I actually looked it up this morning.

• 1:14:53Andrew Santino?

  Not even in the cast.

• 1:14:54Speaker 05

  Is that why, is that why you have a bathroom not in your studio? They're not paying you enough for these?

• 1:14:59Andrew Santino?

  Well, we do that because I don't wanna smell your shit, that's why. We were like, no thanks.

• 1:15:01Speaker 05

  I was just taking a piss, man. I wasn't gonna come here and then fucking take a shit.

• 1:15:05Andrew Santino?

  My guy, I have no idea what you're up to. Brett Finnegan.

• 1:15:07Speaker 05

  Are guests coming here and shitting?

• 1:15:09Andrew Santino?

  Hundred percent. Are they not?

• 1:15:10Speaker 05

  All the time.

• 1:15:11Andrew Santino?

  Brett Finnegan, Brett Finnegan.

• 1:15:12Speaker 05

  I thought it was Brett.

• 1:15:13Andrew Santino?

  Good guess, dude. How was the film as a whole? Be brutally honest.

• 1:15:17Speaker 05

  Okay, yeah, brutally honest. I thought it was, I thought it was good.

• 1:15:22Andrew Santino?

  It was not bad, huh?

• 1:15:23Speaker 05

  It was not bad. It was, it was what you kind of want out of like those movies. I think, was it better than the earlier ones? No.

• 1:15:29Andrew Santino?

  The early ones were pretty good, huh?

• 1:15:30Speaker 05

  I, I liked the first two more. Um, what I will say is, I thought, like, it tricked me, which I like when I get tricked as an audience member. I find that's really hard to do in movies nowadays. Like, the audience is pretty intelligent.

• 1:15:44Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:44Speaker 05

  So like, when it came out, I kind of knew it was gonna happen the second before it happened, but I didn't know it was gonna happen until that scene came upon. So, I wa- I was excited about that. I think there were a couple of the moments where I was like, they're cringey moments, but it's a magic movie. There's gonna be.

• 1:16:00Andrew Santino?

  It's supposed to be.

• 1:16:01Speaker 05

  There's gonna be those moments that's like, you know, like the guy's like, you know what, guys? I think we need to do this. You know, and you're kind of just like.

• 1:16:11Andrew Santino?

  It's like Disney, Disney show, yeah, Disney acting, yeah. Very Nickelodeon.

• 1:16:15Speaker 05

  You, you kind of are like, you're watching a movie about magicians take on a diamond thief. Like, there's gonna be those moments.

• 1:16:21Andrew Santino?

  It's gonna be corny, yeah.

• 1:16:22Speaker 05

  Yeah, like the diamond, the diamond lady, like, that's the main villain. Like, there's a moment at the beginning where she like, shoves a di- like, she asks one of her employees to open their mouths and stick their tongue out, and they're like, what? And so they do it, and she sticks the diamond in his mouth, and it's like, see, the value of a diamond is thirty million dollars, but if it kills him and he swallows it, it's priceless, isn't it? And everyone's just kind of like, well, yeah, I guess, but what's that even mean? Like, it was like one of those, like, they're trying to make like a Bond villain. They're trying to make like a really badass villain, but I felt like it kind of was like.

• 1:16:55Andrew Santino?

  Who is it? Was it Rosamund Pike? Is that her name?

• 1:16:57Speaker 05

  I don't know the actress's name. She did a good job in the fa- I just think that, there were a couple of those moments, right? Where you see it and you're kind of like. That's kind of a crazy, but you you get into it, it's a movie.

• 1:17:07Andrew Santino?

  I do, you know, so funny is I didn't, I admittedly, I hadn't seen any of them. I watched it when I got a call to do it. And my my friend who directed it was like, hey, we're doing this movie in Budapest. Do you want to go to Hungary? And I was like, I don't know, let me ask my wife. I was like, should we go to Budapest?

• 1:17:24Speaker 05

  Is that is that kind of the, anytime you get the call, it's?

• 1:17:27Andrew Santino?

  If I, yeah, I want to know her, I want to get her gauge on, is this worth it? Do we want, but it's also like, do you want to take a mini vacation? Like, do you want to rock out there?

• 1:17:35Speaker 05

  How long have you guys been married now?

• 1:17:36Andrew Santino?

  Nine years.

• 1:17:37Speaker 05

  And shit's going great.

• 1:17:39Andrew Santino?

  Shit, I mean, you know, we're we're old and it's.

• 1:17:41Speaker 05

  I shouldn't call it shit, that's weird.

• 1:17:42Andrew Santino?

  No shit, it's shit. It can, relationships are shit, but they're wonderful, but they're shit.

• 1:17:46Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:17:47Andrew Santino?

  But yeah, nine years. But no, you have to, your your career at some point, um, you know, it's got to be shared in this world of like, I don't, I'm, if I'm traveling a lot, which I do for stand up. You know, you start to get more cognizant as you get older of like, do you want to do this together? Do you care if I do it?

• 1:18:03Speaker 05

  Mm hmm.

• 1:18:04Andrew Santino?

  And, you know, what can we do to make it more fun for us? So we took a vacation. I told my buddy, I said, we'll go, we'll do a couple of days of shooting and then we want to travel and so then you can shoehorn fun into work. I mean, the funny thing is, I talked about a buddy about this yesterday about being retired, so to speak. My friend is, he's he's in the Marines and he was talking about, you know, he serves another six and he's going to be home free, he'll be, you know, be able to retire.

• 1:18:27Speaker 05

  What's that six look like, though?

• 1:18:29Andrew Santino?

  For, well, he's a, he's a, he's an attorney. He's a, he's an attorney in the Marines, in the Marine Corps. So his world is very unique, very unique. And he gets bounced around all over the place. It's cool, though. But he was like, I don't know, you know, we'll see what it looks like and and then possible retirement and then move on to something else. And I thought, this is so funny, we don't retire in this business. No, it's not, it's not a real thing, but we get to live like a retiree now.

• 1:18:50Speaker 05

  You pretty much do it until everyone calls you irrelevant and then you kind of just float around and take.

• 1:18:54Andrew Santino?

  Trust me, dude, they're doing that already to me.

• 1:18:56Speaker 05

  You do cameos, then you do cameos.

• 1:18:57Andrew Santino?

  I'm knocking those out of my way, dude.

• 1:18:59Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:19:00Andrew Santino?

  No, but I mean, you just got to keep doing it until it it stopped fun, it stopped, until it's not fun for you anymore.

• 1:19:05Speaker 05

  That's the really cool part about this, right? Is like as creatives, you you do it until it's not fun.

• 1:19:09Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:19:10Speaker 05

  And then you switch up what you do.

• 1:19:11Andrew Santino?

  And then go do some other shit.

• 1:19:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's the thing, you just.

• 1:19:13Andrew Santino?

  What does it look like at the very, show me in your mind what your life looks like in the latter half of your year, of your years. Like, what would be the perfect world for you to go, you know what, this is what I would love to have happen?

• 1:19:55Andrew Santino?

  In the latter part of my life or career?

• 1:19:56Speaker 05

  Like, give me, give me, give me an age.

• 1:19:58Andrew Santino?

  Let's say, let's say when you're like in your 50s, 60s, like right around there. Like, let's say 55 to 65, what does that look like? Which for you is 80 years from now.

• 1:20:07Speaker 05

  Yeah, 55, so when I'm 55, um, you know, at that point, I'm hoping I am, I'm probably, I'm probably, you know, third or fourth kids getting out of the house at this point.

• 1:20:21Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 1:20:21Speaker 05

  I would say, right? Um, I would say really what I want to be doing is maybe like, I would like to be doing a lot of backend stuff at that point. A lot of like BTS stuff. Like, I would like to be doing like more producing and directing at that point. I would like to be still involved in the investment side. That stuff is just a lot of fun to me to like stay kind of a part of the present future. Like, you get to kind of be a part of both with investing. I think that's really fun. Um, and just getting to talk to new founders always, always intrigues me. So I think that's something I'll forever do. Acting is something that I've gotten more and more into as the years have gone on through my life. Like even from a young age, I've just continued to have more and more love for it. So I think being able to do that when I can would be amazing.

• 1:21:06Speaker 05

  I think the only difference that that would really happen is, you know, I don't think I'd be doing thirst traps.

• 1:21:13Andrew Santino?

  No more thirst traps.

• 1:21:13Speaker 05

  I think that's eventually, God.

• 1:21:15Andrew Santino?

  You don't think you'll be a 55-year-old guy showing your abs?

• 1:21:18Speaker 05

  Well, I didn't say I wouldn't be showing my abs, I just said I wouldn't be doing thirst traps.

• 1:21:21Andrew Santino?

  Correct, alright.

• 1:21:22Speaker 05

  You know, they might be, be getting watched in a different way.

• 1:21:25Andrew Santino?

  Sure. Yeah, I mean, we'll see, you never know.

• 1:21:28Speaker 05

  We'll see, we'll see.

• 1:21:28Andrew Santino?

  Or... Or you become the most popular guy on OnlyFans. Which I've talked to you about, I've said at dinner, you gotta do it dude, I'll take, I'll be the photographer.

• 1:21:38Speaker 05

  A lot of people have offered to be the photographer.

• 1:21:40Andrew Santino?

  I want to be, and if I didn't think you were attracted before, wait till he starts yabbing about money, I mean, I'm like, this guy, hot, smart, young. Good God, I said nine years of marriage, but I might shift and come be your full-time photographer.

• 1:21:52Speaker 05

  I, I'll pull you over.

• 1:21:53Andrew Santino?

  Can I stay at your house?

• 1:21:54Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:21:55Andrew Santino?

  Great.

• 1:21:56Speaker 05

  I got hella rooms, I just kicked out two roommates, so.

• 1:21:58Andrew Santino?

  Oh, you had people living at your house?

• 1:21:59Speaker 05

  Yeah, friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm, I'm young, so like, I don't, I don't wanna just be alone.

• 1:22:04Andrew Santino?

  You don't wanna be alone.

• 1:22:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:22:05Andrew Santino?

  But does she live with you, your girlfriend does?

• 1:22:06Speaker 05

  My girlfriend, pretty, okay, so she has, this is the thing I love about her so much, she is like so not about, you know, when you get into this world, you sometimes have to worry a little bit about like, is somebody with you for the money or not?

• 1:22:18Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 1:22:20Speaker 05

  I know how much she isn't because of how, how this is gonna sound like a diss and it's really not, I'm trying to, I'm trying to give love to Gabby right now. She is not smart with money in the slightest, she doesn't know what money is. And I don't know if that's because of like, how she was brought up, or, or what it is, like, she wasn't, she does not come from money. She, so I think money for her just isn't important.

• 1:22:43Andrew Santino?

  It doesn't matter.

• 1:22:44Speaker 05

  It doesn't matter in the slightest, right? Like, that is not, like, she has an apartment that she's renting right now, for example. And Gabby has done really, really well in this last year, like, she, she's Victoria's Secret model this year, did the runway, like, she's, she's really been picking it up. But, you know, to waste money, to waste money is still silly regardless.

• 1:23:04Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 1:23:04Speaker 05

  This girl has like an apartment she rents, like a nice apartment, that's, by the way, three minute drive away from my house. She's spending thousands of dollars a month on this rental space. I think she has spent maybe ten nights.

• 1:23:20Andrew Santino?

  Why don't you just tell her to move in all the way?

• 1:23:21Speaker 05

  It's been a year.

• 1:23:22Andrew Santino?

  What's the difference?

• 1:23:22Speaker 05

  I, I, I would say like, yo, live with me, just live, you already live with me, right? Like, you just have that apartment for storage essentially, just get a storage unit at this point, right?

• 1:23:30Andrew Santino?

  Right, right, cheaper.

• 1:23:31Speaker 05

  It's way cheaper, um, but she's like, I wanna feel independent. I wanna have something that's mine, that like, if I want to, I can go to, if my mom comes into town, I don't wanna have to say, Josh, can my mom stay at your house? My mom comes into town, or my friends come in from Brazil and I fly them in, I don't wanna have to say, Josh, can my friends stay?

• 1:23:48Andrew Santino?

  That's nice.

• 1:23:49Speaker 05

  And it's, it's kind of, it's kind of relieving to have that person that's like, they just, they don't, they don't care at all about that side of it.

• 1:23:55Andrew Santino?

  Well, she's thoughtful, she, she, that, that's a good quality to find in a partner, someone that thinks about other people other than themself. That's truly what she's being, is selfless, going, yeah, in case, I don't wanna burden other people.

• 1:24:06Speaker 05

  Of course.

• 1:24:06Andrew Santino?

  With my bullshit.

• 1:24:07Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:24:08Andrew Santino?

  But you, at some point, you gotta have her move in.

• 1:24:10Speaker 05

  It will happen soon.

• 1:24:11Andrew Santino?

  It's gotta happen.

• 1:24:11Speaker 05

  It will happen soon.

• 1:24:12Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, make it easy.

• 1:24:13Speaker 05

  And also, I'm kind of like, you know, you could give that three K, four K to my mortgage, I mean, like, you know, you wanna invest in me, baby? I mean, let's go.

• 1:24:21Andrew Santino?

  What is good about still living in different places, like, when we were still dating, I remember like the, you know, like the excitement sometimes when she was like at her place and was like, Hey, I'm gonna come over. Yeah, see, that's fun.

• 1:24:34Speaker 05

  It's hot.

• 1:24:35Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I do like that.

• 1:24:36Speaker 05

  It's like, there's something about that, that's, it's kinda like sexy and like, you're like, oh shit, I'm, I'm going over to her house at 12 o'clock, I'm getting a booty call.

• 1:24:43Andrew Santino?

  It's fun.

• 1:24:43Speaker 05

  That's hot.

• 1:24:44Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's fun, because that does go away. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:24:47Speaker 05

  Now it's like- Do you guys have kids?

• 1:24:48Andrew Santino?

  No, we have no kids, no, we can't have kids, we tried, we tried for a long time. I have, now I have a 54-year-old Korean guy and a 26-year-old.

• 1:24:56Speaker 05

  I'm sorry, dude.

• 1:24:56Andrew Santino?

  These are my children.

• 1:24:57Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:24:58Andrew Santino?

  These are my kids.

• 1:24:58Speaker 05

  Do you guys, did you guys ever think of like adoption?

• 1:25:01Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, we thought about it, yeah, we thought about it.

• 1:25:02Speaker 05

  Or is it like, you're still in the thought process?

• 1:25:05Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, we still talk about it all the time, it's like a never-ending conversation.

• 1:25:08Speaker 05

  Do you think it'll ever happen?

• 1:25:09Andrew Santino?

  I don't, I don't know, I really don't know, it's kinda like, it's contingent upon my life here in LA. So, we continue this show for a year or two more, then we probab-, it's more likely that we will, but if I stop doing the pods in the next couple of years, then, and we'll move, then probably not.

• 1:25:27Speaker 05

  You think stopping the podcast would cause you not to get a kid?

• 1:25:30Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, because I, because-

• 1:25:32Speaker 05

  That's strange, I felt like it would be the opposite in my head.

• 1:25:34Andrew Santino?

  No, cuz I think then would be like, uh, not an early retirement, but like, because by then in a couple of years, I'll be in my mid forties and I would think we would, we kinda had talked about, um, selling a lot of our shit and just bouncing around and just kinda living a little bit free. Yeah, traveling a bunch and then-

• 1:25:51Speaker 05

  Like not having like a house?

• 1:25:52Andrew Santino?

  Not having a permanent residence, no, it'd be really rad to just kinda like fly a little bit. Cuz we've been spending the last, you know, again-

• 1:25:58Speaker 05

  I don't know if I could do that, man.

• 1:25:59Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, well, but think about this, I'm twenty years older, like it's a different, I had the whole-

• 1:26:04Speaker 05

  But I love home.

• 1:26:05Andrew Santino?

  You do?

• 1:26:06Speaker 05

  I love home.

• 1:26:07Andrew Santino?

  I don't really care.

• 1:26:08Speaker 05

  Are you traveling a lot right now? Like, I'm assuming you are.

• 1:26:11Andrew Santino?

  I'm leaving in an hour to go somewhere else.

• 1:26:12Speaker 05

  Okay, so like, I, I am so ready for the point in my life where I get to stay in my home that's in a golf community and I golf and I have a membership and I'm a coach and that sounds like a dream to me.

• 1:26:26Andrew Santino?

  You wanna be a dad already?

• 1:26:27Speaker 05

  That sounds like a dream to me.

• 1:26:28Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, no, I, I've always been a busybody, I can't sit still and so I don't, the travel is fun for me.

• 1:26:33Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:26:33Andrew Santino?

  I like new places, new experiences, new people, like I kind of, I don't have any, I don't have a lot, so when I, when I was a kid and my mom was a single mother, I think this is the reasoning, and she met my stepdad, uh, we moved from downtown Chicago from the city to the suburbs and then I was-

• 1:26:49Speaker 05

  So you were mainly raised by your stepdad?

• 1:26:51Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

• 1:26:52Speaker 05

  That's how my dad was too.

• 1:26:53Andrew Santino?

  So I was raised by my, you know, I was raised by my stepdad and my mom and when we moved to the suburbs, um, I always kinda felt like it was nice, but I was like, I don't, it never felt, it was more of a house than a home. You know, my instinct is always like house over home, because I always wanted to go and do stuff. I was never really a kid who was like, I'm a homebody and I'm at home. It's just a house, it's a place to sleep at night.

• 1:27:18Speaker 05

  Yeah, I guess, I'm not saying like I'm a homebody, like I'm somebody that just wants like rot in my house all day long. I just think it's more of like a-

• 1:27:25Andrew Santino?

  Place to go back to.

• 1:27:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, there's something nice about having a- Uh like uh, I don't know, there's, to me, it's like, I always find my, my favorite, my, my only flight that I like more than leaving L A. Is my flight coming back home.

• 1:27:41Andrew Santino?

  Oh, okay.

• 1:27:42Speaker 05

  Like, that's the only flight I like.

• 1:27:43Andrew Santino?

  See, I like taking off.

• 1:27:44Speaker 05

  I love coming home. I get home, the, uh, you think food is better in other parts of the world?

• 1:27:49Andrew Santino?

  Depends on where you go.

• 1:27:50Speaker 05

  I think food sucks everywhere else.

• 1:27:52Andrew Santino?

  You ever been to Japan?

• 1:27:54Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:27:54Andrew Santino?

  It's rad.

• 1:27:55Speaker 05

  Well, I, I, okay, so I think Japan probably has great food.

• 1:27:57Andrew Santino?

  It does.

• 1:27:58Speaker 05

  I think Japan probably has great food, but even like.

• 1:28:00Andrew Santino?

  Also, put me on a boat and give me seafood in Italy. Say less.

• 1:28:04Speaker 05

  I'm gonna be honest, I've been in Europe so many times, I've been in Europe so many times and I eat their food and I'm like.

• 1:28:04Andrew Santino?

  I could live on a boat dip. I'll be sunburnt, all day long.

• 1:28:11Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I get it. I know what you mean. Uh, you're accustomed to this stuff. Well, who has better food, America or Canada? Go ahead and say it.

• 1:28:17Speaker 05

  Canada. Quality?

• 1:28:19Andrew Santino?

  You're crazy.

• 1:28:20Speaker 05

  Quality?

• 1:28:20Andrew Santino?

  You're crazy.

• 1:28:21Speaker 05

  Like grocery store food quality?

• 1:28:23Andrew Santino?

  No, just who has better food, restaurants, who has better meal?

• 1:28:25Speaker 05

  Oh, restaurants is different. Now you're talking two different genres though.

• 1:28:28Andrew Santino?

  Well, but I'm not saying, you're not, are you?

• 1:28:28Speaker 05

  Who has better home cooked? I cook. I cook my, oh, I cook all the time.

• 1:28:31Andrew Santino?

  You cook? Now I'm coming over.

• 1:28:33Speaker 05

  Oh dude.

  You're cooking me a meal.

  I like a good walking taco.

• 1:28:52Speaker 05

  Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have a great taco recipe. It's not that. I do a, I do an incredible, uh, mango salsa with, uh, nice like steak taco.

• 1:29:02Andrew Santino?

  What about fish tacos? So you cook the fish?

• 1:29:03Speaker 05

  Oh, I can whip up a, a fish taco.

• 1:29:06Andrew Santino?

  And my wife's been making Basque cheesecake. Do you know what this is?

• 1:29:09Speaker 05

  I do know what Basque cheesecake is, but is it ever good?

• 1:29:10Andrew Santino?

  My god, it's good. Dude, it's good. This is her third go around. She tried it once, she didn't like it, I ate all of it. Tried it again, she didn't like it, I ate all of it. And then the third one, she's like, now this is perfect. And last night I had two, two massive slices. I'll eat Basque cheesecake every day of the week.

• 1:29:29Speaker 05

  I'm gonna put you on right now, if you haven't heard of this, this has been something that I showed, showed my lady and she's, she's been obsessed with it since. Score dip.

• 1:29:37Andrew Santino?

  Score dip?

• 1:29:38Speaker 05

  Score dip.

• 1:29:40Andrew Santino?

  Score dip?

• 1:29:41Speaker 05

  Have you ever had score dip?

• 1:29:41Andrew Santino?

  What is score dip, dude?

• 1:29:42Speaker 05

  Okay, so I think score might be a chocolate that is only in Canada, and that is why it's not very big in the States. But I believe the American version is Heath?

• 1:29:52Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, Heath bars. Yeah, we have Heath bars.

• 1:29:52Speaker 05

  Heath bars? Chocolate covered toffee, right?

• 1:29:55Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:29:55Speaker 05

  So, incredible recipe. It's super easy.

• 1:29:59Speaker 05

  You pretty much just whip cream cheese with brown sugar, right?

• 1:30:03Andrew Santino?

  Okay.

• 1:30:03Speaker 05

  Cream cheese, brown sugar, whip that up, put that as the base. Then you go caramel. Caramel over top, all of the, all of the cream cheese.

• 1:30:11Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 1:30:12Speaker 05

  And, and you want a big glass. A glass.

• 1:30:14Andrew Santino?

  I got, yeah.

• 1:30:15Speaker 05

  For this, right?

• 1:30:15Andrew Santino?

  I got it.

• 1:30:16Speaker 05

  And then crunch up that Heath bar, like get Heath chipped pieces, like Heath pieces. We use Score, it's better, but whatever, you can do it with Heath. Get the Heath, sprinkle that up, like you don't even want to see the caramel anymore. You want it to be just full Heath, if you're buying the bars, just hit them with a mallet or something. Heath, take some green apples.

• 1:30:35Andrew Santino?

  Green apples.

• 1:30:36Speaker 05

  Dip them in that.

• 1:30:38Andrew Santino?

  That's lights out, huh?

• 1:31:50Speaker 05

  Yeah, man.

  The dollar always wins, but we'll go play.

• 1:31:52Speaker 05

  That's it.

• 1:31:52Andrew Santino?

  Uh, and we end the show the same way. Uh, do you want to plug anything specific before we rock?

  Make the call, I'll be in it.

• 1:32:23Speaker 05

  I met you after, sadly.

• 1:32:24Andrew Santino?

  That's fine. We end the show the same way. You look into that camera and you say one word or one phrase to end the episode. Something that will sit for history, uh, as the, I think we're gonna put this in the Smithsonian at some point, right? All these?

• 1:32:36Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:32:36Andrew Santino?

  So, um, one word or one phrase into that camera whenever you're ready to end the episode. Make it count.

• 1:32:47Speaker 05

  If you're gonna be an alter server,

• 1:32:51Speaker 05

  make sure you know how to clench.

• 1:32:53Speaker 02

  In here, we pour whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey.

• 1:32:59Speaker 03

  Who are that creature in the ginger beard?

• 1:33:01Speaker 05

  Sturdy and ginger. Like their house, the ginger gene is a curse.

• 1:33:05Speaker 04

  Gingers are beautiful. You owe me $5 for the whiskey and $75 for the horse. Ginger's, aw hell no.

• 1:33:11Speaker 03

  The whiskey is excellent. Ginger. I like gingers.
