00:00 All right, rundown September 13th, 2023 presented by the delicious crisp high noon.
00:08 Jeff Dillow, Bob Fox, Ben Mintz, two former teammates and champions of the dozen.
00:13 Season one, the OG champions.
00:15 Mincy back this season.
00:16 He's going to be on Smocko, Mark Titus and Ken Jack.
00:18 Doesn't one of you want to go now or now, but that will be back in October, November.
00:24 High noon, though the delicious high noon.
00:27 Get your game day pack.
00:28 Get any high noon.
00:29 I'm not sure they want me to say that, but get any high noon.
00:31 But if you want a good pack to bring to a tailgate for games, football game, you're
00:36 going to a concert.
00:38 The high noon game day pack is delicious pairing cranberry pair is very underrated, by the
00:44 way.
00:45 Not enough people talk about pair being one of the best flavors of high noon has like
00:48 the perfect mix of all like the crisp flavors, but something maybe like, I don't know, earthy
00:52 to it.
00:53 Got that good fruit flavor.
00:55 Black cherry, my favorite still grapefruit as well.
00:58 With real vodka, real juice, 100 calories, gluten free, no added sugar.
01:01 The game day pack is a fall exclusive, too, so make sure you get it now.
01:05 Not here for a long time.
01:06 Is it high noon spirits dot com before your next tailgate to find a pack near you?
01:10 High noon is very summery, but the nice thing about high noon is I don't feel bad drinking
01:14 in the fall either.
01:15 It's like one of those like summer drinks.
01:16 You're like, ah, this makes me miss the summer.
01:18 Like it just rolls right in the football season.
01:21 Rolls right into the fall.
01:22 Get that game day pack now.
01:23 I think last year's had the cornhole boards on it.
01:26 Yeah, it's a good good vibe.
01:28 I believe it still has that.
01:30 They have actually the high noon here in California, the high noon at my local grocery store has
01:35 the barstool logo above it, which is very weird to shop in the grocery store.
01:39 It's like it would have been weird if the Dave Standy was there, like staring me down,
01:42 watching me.
01:43 It's right by the produce section, too.
01:44 It's like every time I go to get like lettuce and like strawberries, I get just my boss
01:49 staring at me.
01:50 It's very like that one.
01:51 None of that one.
01:52 I'll pick up.
01:53 I do today the best.
01:55 This first one is perfect for us.
01:58 Maybe for me and Robbie's big Star Wars fans.
02:00 Mince, I want to know your thoughts.
02:02 The Mexican government disclosed some alien bodies.
02:05 They found some aliens.
02:06 They got some E.T. vibes to them.
02:09 Maybe a little Mars attacks vibe to them.
02:11 But the biggest vibe they have is that they're very fake.
02:14 They they they don't look real whatsoever.
02:20 They are so fake looking.
02:22 It looks like the lady from SpongeBob that's like, Joe, you said, it's just like a thing
02:28 of dust.
02:29 It's a mummified alien or something.
02:30 I'm an alien guy.
02:31 I love aliens.
02:32 Like like you said, Star Wars, all this sci fi.
02:35 I'm in on aliens in on Area 51.
02:37 Roswell love all that stuff.
02:40 These aliens aren't aliens.
02:41 Come on.
02:42 I can't even get excited for that.
02:43 Why?
02:44 I just want to I don't know a ton about this, but why would the Mexican government disclose
02:48 like fake aliens?
02:49 What's to be gained here?
02:51 There's got to be some sort of gain that we're not seeing.
02:53 But I assume it's some sort of political advantage to say, like, you've you've met the aliens,
02:58 you've seen the aliens, you have the bodies.
03:00 There's got to be something gained internationally.
03:02 I mean, I just don't.
03:05 They seem ahead scientifically, do you think?
03:08 Like just to be like, yeah, we've been we have this under wraps for years, like a thousand
03:13 years old or something.
03:14 Yeah, that's a good point.
03:15 That's a good point.
03:16 Mince are you an alien guy?
03:17 I mean, it's like distract people from the cartels, maybe.
03:22 Oh, that's an interesting theory.
03:25 Are you typically an alien guy?
03:27 Mince?
03:28 I wouldn't say like too, too huge.
03:30 I mean, I listened to I listened to Joe Rogan and it seems like he talks about him a lot,
03:35 but true.
03:36 Not now.
03:37 I wouldn't say any more than that.
03:39 There are the most alarming thing out of this is that I didn't know that UFO scientists
03:43 were like UFO ologists, but the way the word that looks like UFO ologist and it just doesn't
03:48 it doesn't flow.
03:49 There's got to be a better.
03:50 They got to come up with a better term for that.
03:52 It just doesn't work.
03:54 They look fake, though.
03:55 If you're listening or you don't see the screen right now, you'll see pictures.
03:58 You got to if you haven't seen a picture, you got to see a picture of it because they
04:01 just don't look real whatsoever.
04:04 They look absolutely like the fakest thing you could possibly imagine.
04:08 But apparently they found alien bodies.
04:12 Maybe there's a planet, too, that they found that they're like there's oceans and there
04:16 might be like an alien planet, which I think is bigger news than like the that's that's
04:21 big out there.
04:22 I agree.
04:23 Yeah, this this these little guys stink, they got like eggs and apparently get fuck out
04:27 of here, probably like 700 to 1800 years old, found them six years ago.
04:32 I don't believe it.
04:33 I don't buy I'm sure that these are the aliens, though, if they are the aliens.
04:39 Good sign for the humans.
04:40 We could fuck those things up.
04:41 Yeah, unless they have like Mars attacks, like weapons and tech.
04:46 I think we're good.
04:47 Yeah, true.
04:48 Which they don't.
04:49 I mean, these losers with their little fingers, they got no shot.
04:54 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey have been quiet.
04:56 Mincy was texting us like, I can't wait.
04:58 Talk about Travis, Kelsey and Taylor Swift.
05:00 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey apparently been quietly hanging out.
05:03 Doesn't seem to be very quiet.
05:05 Everyone knows about it.
05:07 Last we heard about this, Taylor performed at Arrowhead Stadium.
05:10 She apparently wanted to give him his give her his phone number.
05:13 They didn't know if they'd end up working out.
05:15 No one's denied or confirmed any of these reports.
05:18 Someone said he was wearing a John Mayer shirt the other day on a podcast.
05:21 I don't I don't know.
05:22 This would be this would be quite the dynamic sports power couple sports and entertainment
05:26 power couple, though.
05:27 I mean, I I don't know where you stand in this.
05:30 Robbie admits you're big music.
05:31 I think she's I'm very protective of anyone saying someone's as big as Michael Jackson,
05:36 like the biggest since Michael Jackson.
05:38 I do think currently where she is and what she's doing, like she has that level, I think
05:43 for sure.
05:44 She's certainly number one in the world right now.
05:47 I've never seen anything like it.
05:49 Like how about how famous she is?
05:51 I mean, I you know, I saw the video where like the rumor got out.
05:55 She was on Long Beach Island, like eating at a restaurant.
05:57 You we crazy.
05:58 The next thing you know, there's like thousands of people just outside the restaurant.
06:02 That's like a one road.
06:04 Those types of Jersey Shore towns have like one road to get in, by the way.
06:06 It's just that's brutal.
06:08 I mean, but no, but she's I mean, she's selling out, you know, football stadiums, 80, 90,000
06:14 people, three nights like no problem.
06:16 You're in it so far, like five or six nights in a row.
06:19 Six nights.
06:20 Yeah.
06:21 I mean, I've never I've never seen like a level of celebrity like like this.
06:26 I mean, I know what you're saying, Jeff, because the Michael Jackson thing is, you know, once
06:31 in anyone's lifetimes.
06:32 But I've seen that debate here, though.
06:34 And like I'm sure like like, Robbie, do you agree with this?
06:37 Like people confuse the argument with talent and stuff and like, well, oh, you're her music.
06:42 Yeah, it's nothing to do with the quality of her music or like who's the better singer
06:47 dance like that's nothing to do with it.
06:49 It's absolutely just a fame question at this point.
06:52 And I think she's on such a big level that Kelsey is a step down for her.
06:56 I feel like Taylor Swift is going to date someone in the NFL.
07:00 It's quarterback or bust.
07:02 You cannot date any other position.
07:04 I also can't let this happen because I like Taylor Swift.
07:07 I'm a Swifty.
07:09 She will write the worst football puns into songs ever.
07:12 If this is true, we will get a song called the end zone.
07:16 We will get a song called like audible.
07:18 We will get the worst football puns.
07:20 Also, also, again, I'm a Swifty, but I can't let that maybe she's sad, but she's she's
07:24 an Eagles fan.
07:25 So like she's but Travis Kelsey's brother, the Eagle.
07:30 That's true.
07:31 That's true.
07:32 Maybe that fits.
07:33 That's I think I think he's that he's below Taylor, I think.
07:39 But who is it?
07:40 I mean, Travis Kelsey's like quarterback top three to five tight end and pro.
07:46 And he's like, I mean, I wouldn't even say he's four percent as famous as she is, like
07:50 giving him 10 percent too much.
07:51 No, for sure.
07:52 Yeah.
07:53 That's the thing.
07:54 It's like people who are just solely in like sports fans to absolutely like take that the
07:57 wrong way.
07:58 Like I'm sorry.
07:59 Like NFL is as household as anything gets.
08:00 The most watched thing in the country by far.
08:03 But like even that compared to her, it's like it's not even close.
08:06 Speaking of the Eagles, the escaped murderer Daniel Cavalcante was caught up to 40 is the
08:12 guy that scaled up the wall like Spider-Man and escaped the prison.
08:16 Bad dude, murderer, not a good person, huge piece of shit.
08:19 But he was caught wearing an Eagles sweatshirt.
08:22 He's from that area, from the Philly suburbs.
08:24 I guess the mayor of Philadelphia said, joked like, I'll get a Kelly Green sweatshirt forever,
08:30 had their sweatshirt stolen.
08:31 Like, who's ever this is like, I'll make sure we replace it with a new one.
08:36 I mean, the the escape was impressive.
08:38 But also, if I live in that area, I'd be absolutely terrified of of of venom.
08:43 Basically, this is this is just human venom running around the suburbs of Philly like
08:48 a murderer.
08:49 Also, they they did a class photo shoot with them afterwards.
08:53 Did you see that?
08:54 Yeah, the weird like they are like, get in, get everyone inching closer.
08:59 I like the guy at the police press conference that asked, are you afraid that were you afraid
09:05 that he ganged up with another small man and went inside a trench coat, little rascal style?
09:09 And the police officer was not amused.
09:11 He was just like, no.
09:12 Transported to an S.C.I.
09:13 Sir, was there any concern that he would team up with another small man to step inside of
09:18 a trench coat, little rascal style?
09:20 No.
09:21 OK, thank you.
09:23 That's that's the that's the most I've seen police huddle around someone for a photo since
09:32 I took a photo for Tommy Smokes this summer in Point Pleasant, which is a town that used
09:37 to go to down the Jersey Shore to go to Jenks.
09:39 I took a photo of Tommy with like 15 cops in the boardwalk and like two took the photo
09:44 and they all they're like, smoke, smoke.
09:46 And he's like, nice.
09:47 He goes, I don't know if you ever found the photo.
09:49 He's like, I got to post that photo somewhere.
09:51 But I don't know if we ever found it.
09:53 They swarmed out of Smitty Smitty blog about this.
09:57 He talked about the whole story and the escape.
09:59 And yeah, so so so go go check that out if you want, especially the videos and stuff.
10:04 I don't think we include in the rundown.
10:06 But Smitty on the blog, our good buddy and champion of the dozen, Adam Smith.
10:11 He should have been in that picture.
10:12 He should have been in the manhunt.
10:13 He should have been like looking after this guy or looking for this guy, not looking at
10:16 what if that's like that's Dave next criticism of Smitty.
10:19 It's like, why are you here today?
10:20 Why are you not in Philadelphia searching for this guy?
10:22 Yeah, you are still about manhunts.
10:24 Remember back in the day?
10:25 Yeah, yeah.
10:26 Matt Stafford, apparently in the Netflix quarterback.
10:29 Did you watch quarterback on Netflix?
10:31 Apparently they're begging people to do it because everyone's saying no to it.
10:35 Macy, did you watch?
10:36 I just saw like I heard a lot of the feedback about all of a sudden people used to hate
10:40 Kirk Cousins till they watched it.
10:42 Now people like him because he came off like as a good dude on it.
10:45 But that was I didn't watch it, though.
10:48 Yeah, I thought it was.
10:51 I thought it was fine.
10:52 I think those behind the scenes things are good, but I think I think the best one is
10:55 still the F1 one.
10:57 And I think that helps to for like if you're part of a culture that maybe doesn't know
11:01 it.
11:02 Like that's like the tennis thing was cool.
11:03 The golf thing was cool.
11:04 But like I think if you weren't big fans of those like golf, they were explaining the
11:06 cuts, the cut down and stuff like that for me is meaningless.
11:09 My golf fan tennis, they're explaining points and shit.
11:11 We're like the NFL.
11:12 The quarterback wasn't exactly like that.
11:14 But I I think some of those things and hard knocks is his problem, too, is that it's so
11:19 corporately tied to the NFL at this point that like you can't.
11:25 You aren't going to get like the down and dirty shit that like hard knocks used to be
11:28 pretty like damning on things like the Cleveland Browns famously had one of the most damning
11:32 seasons where every coach looks like a fucking idiot.
11:35 Yeah, except for except for the coach who had the belly move.
11:39 We said set hut like that was just kind of like funny.
11:42 But hard knocks become very NFL corporate, basically just a commercial.
11:46 So it's like these types of things are tough where even like like did you watch the Florida
11:50 Gators documentary on Netflix, Mincy?
11:52 Yeah, I did see some of that.
11:54 I thought that was.
11:55 But like, again, that's the thing.
11:56 It's like if they're all going to be involved in it, I'm not saying quarterbacks like I
11:59 just thought it was fine.
12:00 But like if if Erbmeyer is going to be involved, you think Erbmeyer is going to be like, yeah,
12:04 he's what a scumbag I was.
12:06 What a scumbag team like I wasn't really going to happen.
12:10 That was like.
12:11 No, the one thing on the interesting on the Florida one was I actually did enjoy seeing
12:15 an alternate take on Urban Meyer just being like, look, if I cut these guys, their lives
12:20 are over.
12:21 Yeah.
12:22 You know, and I know that you have to do it and I get that you can't carry on.
12:26 But it was kind of cool, like seeing, you know, a little bit of a different perspective
12:31 on it.
12:32 Yeah, just like even like the men's like that's the thing is you get them involved.
12:36 It's like it's like, hey, you go back, Robbie, to the Bohemian Rhapsody movie.
12:40 It's like, yeah, if you like to involved.
12:43 Yeah, you like get Queen gets too involved.
12:45 Then all of a sudden they say that, you know, they had more influence in songs.
12:49 They did.
12:50 And Freddie Mercury wrote Bohemian Rhapsody right before, like, like the AIDS concert
12:53 walked out on live.
12:54 Yeah, it's like, yeah, like all these like all the stories are a little different.
12:59 Last bit of news.
13:00 We're going to let Mincy cook a little bit.
13:01 Going to catch up with Mincy.
13:02 Long Island Restaurant makes a bunch of teams projectile vomit, which this story I was I
13:06 was wasn't sure if like Glennie Balls will be involved.
13:08 Looks like Lenny was like at the restaurant, started projectile vomiting.
13:10 He only goes to one.
13:11 He goes that one sandwich place.
13:12 That's it.
13:13 Twelve, 13 year old girls ended up at a hospital with food poisoning.
13:16 If you're getting sick of projectile vomiting from eating at a New York Japanese steakhouse,
13:21 which does that imply like like that doesn't imply like.
13:27 Hibachi does it?
13:29 I don't think so.
13:30 You don't say steakhouse.
13:31 Yeah, no.
13:32 Near Stony Brook.
13:33 Mincy, you know, Stony Brook's college nickname.
13:36 I just remember the only thing I remember was they upset LSU to make the College World
13:40 Series in 2012.
13:41 And it was like this big shock.
13:43 Seawolves said the scene was distressing with people vomiting both inside and outside.
13:48 It's like that that family guy clip where they're all just puking all over the house.
13:52 Right.
13:53 An all time clip.
13:54 And when you throw projectile in there, you know, it was serious.
13:57 Like it wasn't just they had food poisoning.
13:58 It was like they projectile vomited.
14:00 This vomit traveled a distance.
14:03 Is that the biggest gap between funny and not funny in terms of fiction in real life?
14:09 Projectile vomiting because in fiction it is hilarious, hysterical, almost always cartoon
14:15 live action doesn't matter.
14:17 It'll always make me laugh when I'm actually throwing up.
14:20 I'm ready to cry.
14:21 You get the acid coming up from your throat.
14:23 It's the worst.
14:24 So, yeah, those are the main story for you and the Mincy stuff.
14:27 Rob, you had obviously doesn't want to be one tournament going on.
14:30 Check that out right now.
14:32 Go to the new YouTube as we lead into the season.
14:34 Try to get one over there before the season.
14:36 Rob, you a Dave on the podcast.
14:37 We should talk to Star Wars.
14:38 You and I are going to we got to get to where we're having a where this is a real thing.
14:41 We're going to get together.
14:42 We're going to pitch Dave on how the Disney boys do more stuff.
14:45 We got to give him a realistic plan of like we want to go to conventions and theme parks.
14:49 I don't know.
14:50 I like do you have high hopes for it?
14:52 I think we can convince him.
14:53 I do.
14:54 I said in my blog from the Fonz and Richie Cunningham to Steve Harrington and Dustin
14:59 nerds hanging out with the cool kid, the jock or whatever has been a staple of pop culture
15:04 forever and we just need to bring that to Barstool a little more than it's already existed.
15:10 The one thing in the way is his and yours.
15:12 Yeah, I got an emotion sickness pills.
15:14 The lack of roller coaster enjoyment is I already looked it up.
15:17 We can get patches you put behind your ear figures at your equilibrium.
15:22 That's all going to be OK.
15:23 But this is basically if you're freaks and geeks guy, which I am a little freaks and
15:26 geeks, the episode where James Franco comes down and plays Dungeons and Dragons with the
15:30 nerds, the geeks.
15:31 That's what we're trying to get out of this series.
15:33 Quick pitch off the top.
15:34 Ready for this?
15:35 How about this?
15:36 Like how do you say no to this, Dave?
15:37 Again, roller coaster might have to do with this.
15:40 Disney boys ride every single ride at Walt Disney World.
15:43 Guinness World Records set it in one day, 7 a.m. to midnight.
15:48 Come on, can't get him to it.
15:49 And there's no way Dave agrees to that one.
15:52 That's too ambitious.
15:53 That's a banger.
15:54 We need to do the jungle cruises.
15:57 It's a small world.
15:58 Pirates of the Caribbean.
15:59 That's what he does.
16:00 He do it.
16:01 Everyone.
16:02 Maybe he's just like the chaperone.
16:03 Maybe we find a way.
16:04 Maybe we do it as a group.
16:05 Maybe as a group, we like change up.
16:07 Not everyone rides the ride.
16:08 Yeah.
16:09 OK, so Disney boys ride every ride at Disney World.
16:11 24 hours.
16:12 World Guinness World Record.
16:14 Come on, paying that up as if I'm sure Dave really cares about that.
16:18 Next thing, drink around the world.
16:19 Epcot.
16:20 That's an easy one.
16:21 We can contest around the world.
16:22 Epcot bring high noons if we want.
16:25 That's all we can drink to.
16:26 We don't even need to buy their alcohol.
16:27 You just drink high noon at every stop.
16:28 You can bring high noons in.
16:30 You can bring water in so we can bend the rules.
16:33 We can bend the rules.
16:34 Disclaimer, that's my idea, not theirs.
16:37 Another one could be you being we try every piece of food.
16:41 We review every piece of food at Disney World.
16:43 Universal, obviously, Comic Con, Star Wars Celebration, D23.
16:47 Like these, it's getting pitched.
16:49 It's going to happen.
16:50 We're going to pitch it.
16:51 Mincey.
16:52 My only dad on that is my Disney contact.
16:56 I think things have calmed down for a few weeks ago for my--
16:58 Yeah, your Disney contact has been in the news.
17:01 He's been in the news.
17:02 I feel like-- I don't think he was-- all that stuff happened with his folks.
17:10 He came on Barstool Radio.
17:11 I thought his appearance went pretty well.
17:13 I mean, he was pretty transparent about everything.
17:16 I feel like y'all could still-- there's still a good relationship there if y'all need it.
17:20 I hope so.
17:21 No, I think we might hit that up.
17:23 So yeah, we're going to pitch Dave on this.
17:25 Mincy, we're going to let you cook now.
17:27 What's been going on?
17:28 The summer of Mincy rolls into the fall of Mincy, which we do know you love fall more
17:34 than anything.
17:35 So it's your time of year.
17:36 Yeah, I'll try to-- I'm not going to go super long-winded on it.
17:41 But man, I just look back on my last four months, and it was the craziest roller coaster
17:49 that I can really just ever imagine.
17:52 I mean, it was just so nuts.
17:54 Like, obviously, everybody knows what happened when I got let go, when I slept on the air.
18:00 But I mean, I thank him all the time.
18:04 And I know Dave Rawls, how much I appreciate him.
18:07 But that was really unbelievable that he created that BrickWatch job for me.
18:11 I mean, like, literally, he just creates a job out of thin air.
18:15 And he actually called me about that on May 13.
18:20 So I got let go May the 3rd.
18:21 I knew May 13 I was getting hired.
18:24 We decided to save it for my 40th birthday, because I thought that would be a cool thing.
18:30 But just the way he had my back through all that, I mean, you could see it in the video
18:34 when he announced to him that he was letting me go, how upset he said he was about it.
18:39 And I'm not going to share all of it, but I did have other job offers and stuff.
18:43 But just the loyalty Dave showed me, I mean, there was just no way I could choose to do
18:48 anything else.
18:49 But I'll talk a little bit about my June.
18:52 So I went through a really bad stretch in June.
18:54 And you know, I know y'all, I mean, life, you know, Jeff, I know you've shared some
18:57 of your ups and downs in life before and Robbie, everybody goes through it.
19:01 But like, I got hit with like a close friend of mine died in a car wreck.
19:05 My buddy's dad who hired me a few years ago died of cancer.
19:09 I had the barstool scandal.
19:11 Like I just had a lot of stuff go wrong.
19:15 And it was when I was in June, I'm working for Poker Go covering WSOP, but you don't
19:20 want to be spiraling in Vegas and life.
19:24 It's the worst place to where you're in a bad mental headspace.
19:27 And I was getting crushed in poker.
19:29 And like, I just felt like I was reeling a little bit.
19:33 And you know, I was never really that into it.
19:35 All of a sudden I was hitting a nicotine pen all the time, which like I used to do maybe
19:38 every now and then at a show if that like next thing I know I'm doing that all the time.
19:43 And I wasn't taking care of myself.
19:44 And I was just really in a bad mental headspace for pretty much all of June.
19:51 And I could just tell something was wrong.
19:55 And I went to Red Rocks, the famous music venue.
19:57 Robbie, you've been to Red Rocks?
19:58 Never.
19:59 No.
20:00 Okay.
20:01 Well, I did that late June.
20:02 And man, something about that mountain air up there.
20:06 I mean, it's like therapeutic.
20:07 I don't know.
20:08 That place seems very cathartic.
20:09 Yeah.
20:10 Yeah, I just got up there.
20:12 I got out of Vegas.
20:14 And I just was like up there for the widespread panic week in late June.
20:18 And I just got up there and I breathed them out there.
20:20 And I was like, all right, enough of this BS.
20:22 Like everybody in life is going to go through rough patches.
20:25 That's what life is.
20:26 You know, I mean, it's going to happen to everyone at some point.
20:30 And you know, there's no reason you're not a victim.
20:33 There's no reason to feel sorry for yourself, whatever.
20:35 Like just quit, you know, you got to get out of this bad headspace.
20:38 And like coming out of that weekend on that Red Rocks Sunday, which was late June, I threw
20:42 the nicotine pen away.
20:44 I started day one, a low carb the next day.
20:48 And like since late June, I'm almost three months in.
20:51 This is the best I've ever done in my entire life across the board in every single way,
20:58 period.
20:59 And a lot of it had to do with me maybe turning 40 in late May.
21:04 There was like this vibe that the barstool scandal and me turning 40 was like kind of
21:09 the end of the first act of life, if that makes sense, like your first 40 years, your
21:14 first half.
21:15 And then this is the beginning of the second.
21:18 And I don't want to say I feel like a new creation, but like my priorities are just
21:23 way, way different.
21:25 And I'm still really enjoying life.
21:26 But like, I just have this vision where I see it so clearly.
21:31 I've always struggled with the health thing, always.
21:34 I've always been overweight.
21:35 I've always fought it, whatever.
21:37 And it's just really hit me that if I commit to that, which I have the last few months,
21:42 I feel like I really can get it all in life.
21:46 And since late June, I'm down like 25 pounds, but I quit eating sugar.
21:52 I lift weights.
21:53 I run.
21:54 I obviously don't drink.
21:55 And man, I'll be damned if I'm like anti-aging, man.
21:57 That's the best I've felt in 10 years.
22:00 And I got all that positive momentum started in early July.
22:03 And I felt like even though I hadn't gotten back to Barstool and Penn still owned it,
22:08 there was this really crazy positive vibe in the air all of July that things were changing.
22:15 And it felt like cosmic when Dave bought it back.
22:18 Like it was like a thing was like, man, all this stuff was going well.
22:22 I saved some money.
22:23 I was getting healthier.
22:24 And then Dave buys it back.
22:25 And then I like look up and I'm just like, wow, you know, I did this really even happen.
22:30 And, you know, ecstatic to be back.
22:33 I've kind of announced it.
22:35 We'll talk a little bit about it.
22:36 I am moving to Chicago for sure.
22:38 I was going to bring that up.
22:39 I said like the timing's been pretty crazy, but it does seem like you're going to be you're
22:43 going to be Midwest Mints.
22:45 Yeah, it's the thing is, is like the right look.
22:48 We're all I mean, I don't know if we're all smart people, but just you see what's going
22:53 on with the company.
22:54 Look, I was it was good to have me in Louisiana when we had the Penn properties and we had
22:58 the sports book app.
22:59 All that's gone now.
23:01 And so the work in remote thing, like, yeah, if you're Jeff, you've got the dozen brand
23:05 or your chicklets or your foreplay, you've got like a huge brand like that.
23:11 You can work remote as you're bringing in a lot of the company.
23:13 But like you're playing with fire being a remote employee if you don't have something
23:18 like that.
23:19 And, you know, when I went to Chicago a few weeks ago, Big Cat and Hank and PFT all sat
23:25 me down and they were just like, you know, we really want you up here and to be a part
23:30 of this.
23:31 And, you know, it really took me about 45 seconds to realize, like, hey, like this is
23:35 exactly you know, if I'm here for Big Cat, Eric and Hank and PFT, they want me up there.
23:40 Well, this is probably the right move for my career.
23:44 Wake up, Mincy is going to come back, but I'm waiting.
23:47 It's because I don't I don't want to I don't want to be too, you know, I'm Rob, you see
23:52 you agree with me on this.
23:53 I don't want to be too harsh.
23:54 But if you don't bring wake up, Mincy back, what's what's been the point of all this?
23:57 It's got to bring it back.
23:58 It's got to die like that.
24:00 Yeah, it's coming back.
24:01 But it's going to be when I get to Chicago in early November.
24:06 You know, it just a lot of moving parts right now.
24:09 It should be.
24:10 No, you should.
24:11 Yeah.
24:12 Like, yeah, don't do it until you got the new they got the office.
24:13 You got.
24:14 Yeah, it's got to be new kitchen.
24:16 Yeah.
24:17 You just I don't want to, you know, in anything.
24:20 Y'all know this, too.
24:21 Like, it's like anything worth doing.
24:22 You got to do right.
24:23 Like, you don't want to bring something back.
24:24 No, I would agree with that.
24:26 That is, you know, there are definitely some things that you can do here that are kind
24:31 of off the cuff on the phone, you know, just doesn't need the big plan.
24:35 But there's some things, too.
24:36 It's like, you know, it's a big return.
24:38 It's got it's got to be it's got to be huge.
24:41 And so I'm excited.
24:42 I'm excited about that.
24:43 And, you know, I just I don't know.
24:45 It's just crazy to go through.
24:47 And like, you know, I'm not a political guy.
24:49 I don't get into that, you know.
24:51 But like to hear Dave, the Tucker Carlson thing was bananas.
24:56 Like I thought you were about to announce you're running for president or something.
24:58 I don't know.
24:59 I just couldn't believe like I couldn't believe how crazy that was.
25:05 What a moment.
25:06 Within the same 30 minute span, he said your name and then asked a guy about having sex
25:11 with the president, with President Obama.
25:13 What a what a turn.
25:14 What a turn.
25:15 Tucker's note prep sheet was unbelievable.
25:17 It's like King of the South.
25:19 And three lines down, it's like guy who says he had sex with Obama.
25:23 Yeah, I just that that was that whole thing was nuts, too.
25:28 So but it's you know, it's just interesting.
25:31 I think just the aging process in life, like I said, it's just crazy how different I feel
25:36 and I am like I'm like anti aging, like how I am at 30, 40 instead of 35.
25:41 And it's you know, I know it's cheesy to say, but like my mental health is just so positive
25:46 and so strong right now.
25:47 And I'm just so encouraged about life.
25:50 And it's I don't know, it's just a great way to be.
25:52 I mean, I've gone through a lot in life and, you know, I just feel like there's a lot to
25:56 be excited about.
25:57 It's a big time.
25:58 I love it.
25:59 Yeah.
26:00 Timing is pretty crazy.
26:01 Like I know you and I talked very briefly.
26:02 You came back like, hey, we got you back in the dozen, like talk to some teams.
26:05 He was open.
26:06 And I know you mentioned you're like how crazy the timing and it was.
26:09 It was like it's not so that like it all went down the exact way that it did.
26:13 But yeah, we're glad to have you back.
26:16 It's it's agent in reverse.
26:18 Benjamin Buttonments.
26:19 It's an impossible energy to match.
26:22 Yeah.
26:23 And I like what you said about you.
26:26 You flip the sides like the second act of your life.
26:29 It's like you flip the record over.
26:31 This is Mensa's B side.
26:32 Yeah, that's what it ultimately feels like.
26:35 And, you know, I kind of like a little bit, but, you know, obviously I did the 10K earlier
26:41 this year.
26:42 I'm going to I'm running the St. Jude half marathon on December 2nd, Memphis.
26:46 Nice.
26:47 I'm, you know, at 40.
26:48 I mean, if you had seen me four years ago, three years ago, I was like three hundred
26:51 and ten pounds.
26:52 And now I'm going to run a half marathon at 40.
26:55 It's just I mean, it's wild.
26:57 But I just feel this like vision where I feel like I can and I'm getting so much feedback
27:03 on Twitter and Instagram that like I can help a lot of people that are struggling with the
27:08 health stuff and the obesity stuff because I've fought it.
27:11 And I get it.
27:12 And I feel like the platform I have that like, you know, by me being a good example, it helps
27:18 others and, you know, being able to use it to, you know, hopefully raise money for St.
27:22 Jude and just using it positively.
27:24 I mean, it kind of gives my life meaning, if that makes sense.
27:27 You know, it's like bigger than me.
27:28 And I'm really excited about that.
27:31 So it's I don't know, it's just a good time to be alive.
27:34 I'm going to be in Chicago next week.
27:35 I talked to Dan yesterday.
27:38 There's a Saints Panthers Brown.
27:39 I don't know.
27:40 I'm going to I'll be in Chicago as well for that month.
27:43 That's right.
27:44 So we'll be on the stream together.
27:45 I'll be there with Jerry and Nick and for Brown Steelers.
27:48 I was in Chicago anyway.
27:49 So I was like, I told my I'll stay if we want to do my football, stay a few days.
27:54 Yeah.
27:55 And I'm going to look for a place to live next week.
27:57 And, you know, like the Chicago thing, I'm starting to, you know, start that career was
28:02 it's so obvious the right move.
28:04 There's just no even fight.
28:05 I mean, literally, like I'd be a fool not to go.
28:09 But it flies.
28:10 I mean, I feel like, you know, we'll make the best of the cold winter.
28:13 I'll figure it out.
28:14 Yeah, you'll you'll adapt.
28:15 I mean, honestly, Chicago is it is really cold winter.
28:18 But you you lived in New York for a while.
28:20 It's just as miserable in the streets of New York.
28:23 One of the one other funny thing, my bad.
28:25 I'm going to talk.
28:26 No, go ahead.
28:27 But so, Dan, they were like, Hank and Dan were like, I was you know, we talked to mid
28:32 August.
28:33 You know, they were kind of hitting like get here in early October.
28:36 And I was just like, I mean, the South October is like the best month of the year.
28:41 I was like, come on, man.
28:42 You just it is November.
28:45 And so I think there may need to be a mincey to our calendar announcement from October.
28:49 Oh, man.
28:50 Things are going to get real, real out of hand in the South.
28:58 Mincy part to best sequel since Empire Strikes Back.
29:01 Unbelievable.
29:02 All right.
29:03 Well, Mintz, as I said, it is great to have you back.
29:05 The time worked out perfectly.
29:06 Grad.
29:07 Glad Dave brought you back in the fold immediately.
29:10 The words I bought the company back had barely left his mouth and you already back in the
29:14 company.
