01:05:53 Share

You're listening to Don't Take Bullshit from Fuckers with your hosts Greg Barrett and Kane Holloway. Don't Take Bullshit from Fuckers

Welcome to episode 200, the final episode of Don't Take Bullshit From Fuckers. That's right. I'm Cain Holloway. Is it the final episode? This is the last one. Oh, shit. Yeah, this is the last one, baby. 200. We did it. We did. Holy fuck. This is what we wanted to do. Not a lot of people know that. Who the fuck wants to do the same podcast the rest of their life? Mm-mm. Ha ha.

Doesn't matter how profitable it is. Yeah. We're going to stop at $200. That was our goal the whole time. This was never about money for us anyway. It was never about that. It was about helping the people. I know. People always think that we do this for the money, but we don't. We do not. We're here for the people. We're here for the people. The love of the game. So much has been happening over the last, I don't know, weeks, months, years doing this show. Mm-hmm.

Charity found her one on The Bachelor. Oh, my God. Rhett. Did you watch it? I didn't finish it. I didn't either. Here's what I realized. I only like shows when there's chaos. Yeah. And this show was like... This year was like kind of a love story and...

The Bachelorette was completely respectful. So respectful. She was cool. She was a good Bachelorette. She was good. But it was boring as fuck. Yeah, I did a lot of other things while watching it. I like toxic people fucking up. There was not enough of this. And when closeted racism emerges. Oh my God. You gotta have that. I like when there's a lot of scandal. Yeah. Yeah.

And a lot of trouble. And when somebody has to get kicked off the show and then gets outed by somebody in the public. Yeah. I like trouble. And then their life is ruined. I love it when their life is ruined. Yeah.

Speaking of that, have you heard about the racist Spider-Man fan film? Oh, yeah. Lotus. Spider-Man Lotus. Spider-Man Lotus is touted as being like the Spider-Man fan film to break all Spider-Man fan films, apparently. It's on YouTube for free.

I don't know what a fan film is. It's like it's just a film made by a fan? Yeah. There's no studio backing, but they do all... There's a director and a cast and a script, and they have like... I've seen some of the CGI that they... They did a Kickstarter for the whole thing, and the director was taking shots at the new Spider-Man movies saying they don't have...

the same oomph. If I made a Spider-Man movie, it'll be great. It'll blow the doors off it. I'll have a real... He has Shocker as a villain in this and he bases the story off of a couple of 90s Spider-Man comic books. I haven't watched it yet and I heard about it and I was like, oh, maybe I'll check it out. I don't really go in for fan films.

And then a bunch of tweets were found of him and the star who plays Spider-Man being crazy racist. Really? Yeah, like tweets and all kinds of messages and toxic text messages of them just using the N-word and just being... And then his apology when that came out

because there's like a ton of publicity for this movie because the spider suit looks great. Yeah. The fucking spider suit looks amazing and some of the CGI pretty flawless for a fan film. So everyone's kind of excited about it. So there was some people around it and then they were like, hey, seems here that you hate black people. Yeah.

And he's like, no, no, I just... And his apology is, no, I grew up in a white neighborhood and I was part of this white church. And so people just... I wanted to fit in. And all my friends were saying the N-word. So I just...

So I would text people the N-word. What's the big deal? Come on, guys. I'm sorry. Please watch my movie. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't take shots at a studio-made Spider-Man film and then make your Spider-Man film

that you think would be better as a way to get moving without realizing that you have a bunch of archived... Like, if you have a Nazi flag in your basement, someone's going to find it. Yes. Yeah, that's the thing. Here's the thing about your past. You're fucked. You are fucked. Yeah, you're fucked. Yeah, man. Yeah. You can't just do that and then apologize for it. Like, all of my past was written on paper. Yeah, of course. Which doesn't exist anymore. There you go. So...

All my racist journal entries. Yeah, it was a book of poetry that he wrote. Oh, yeah. And then he quickly burned it all. Yeah, no, it's...

People are horrible. People are horrible. Yeah. There's something that goes along. There's more horrible people now than have ever been. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They're loud, too. They are. They're loud. They're so loud. Yeah, they don't care. They're so loud. They say crazy things. Now these crazy country songs now that are... Oh, my God.

Getting popular and they're racist and homophobic. Yeah, there's white rap songs that are homophobic and racist. Yeah, I saw one on my TikTok or something. Yeah, you can't do hip-hop. You can't be white racist doing hip-hop.

You just can't do it. No. You wouldn't be able to do the genre. Exactly. And really, let's think about it. You couldn't be able to do almost all genres of music if it weren't for black people. So you can't make your song racist because then you'd have to thank the black person who helped create the genre.

For you to be able to write your racist song. But there they are. You're not thinking, man. Yeah. You gotta stop. You gotta start thinking. Yeah. Our new show is You Gotta Start Thinking. It is not. Kane and Greg.

Cain and Greg solve racism. Cain and Greg solve racism. I think we'd be great at it. We're doing it right now. We're solving racism. The four white guys in this room are going to end racism. Voices need to be heard. Specifically, the voices, they whisper them into our ears and then they come out of our white mouths. Oh my God.

Boy. Well, moving on to something that is also equally horrifying. Denonymous sent a fucking chat GPT. Last week, Paige Rihanna sent a question that was written by chat GPT. Mm-hmm.

And so Denonymous decided, he said, hey, I had to try it. Here's a chat GPT generated episode of Joe Rogan interviewing DTBFF. Title, Mastering the Mind. The always be blocking philosophy with hosts of don't take bullshit from fuckers. Yeah.

Pat is going to be our Joe Rogan. That's right. And you'll be host one. Okay. And I'll be host two. Yeah, now I don't do a Joe Rogan impersonation, so you're just going to get my real man quotes voice. Perfect. It's dead on. All right. Let's jump into this. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another mind-expanding episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. I'm your host, Joe Rogan. Okay.

And today we have a pair of incredible guests who are here to discuss their thought-provoking podcast, Don't Take Bullshit From Fuckers. Joining me are Greg Barrett and Kane Holloway, and we're diving deep into the philosophy they've coined as always be blocking. So guys, tell me, how did you come up with this intriguing concept and what's the driving force behind it? Hey, thanks for having us, Joe. Is this where Jordan Peterson sat? I think so. Oh, unreal. Yeah.

Oh, God. The idea behind always be blocking really emerged from a desire to take charge of our mental well-being in a world that's full of distractions and negativity. We recognize that a lot of people, including ourselves, they're getting caught up in all sorts of unnecessary drama and stress. So we wanted to explore how we could actively shield ourselves from those influences while still staying open to the good stuff.

Absolutely, Joe. It's been finding the sweet spot between protecting ourselves and being receptive to growth. We wanted to create a mindset that helps us navigate life with more clarity and resilience, all while not closing ourselves off from genuine experiences. That's fascinating, guys. I think we can all relate to the constant barrage of noise and negativity that bombards us. So how do you practically apply the always be blocking philosophy in your lives and on your podcast?

Great question, Joe. It was a great question. Good job, Joe. Love your questions. Hey, man, I didn't get the Fauci ouchie. When do you have an RFK on here? I want to hear Ben Shapiro on here talking about the Barbie movie.

When we say it would be blocking, we're not talking about putting up walls and shutting people out. It's more about being conscious of our boundaries and choosing what we allow. Okay. That's not true. Hey, Greg, what the fuck are you talking about? That's not true at all. This applies to both external influences and our own internal dialogue. Okay, here's the thing. Chat GPT doesn't know who the fuck I am.

And it certainly doesn't know who Kane is. No. Why would it? This sounds like we've decided to read a bunch of memes. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty cool. Does anything happen in this thing? It's a dynamic process. It sounds powerful.

That's a valid concern, Joe. Yeah, I don't... Okay. I want to hear what Joe's concern would be. Can we hear what Joe's concern would be? Well, it sounds like a powerful way to take control of your own narrative. But let's address the skeptics out there. Some might argue that you're constantly being on the defensive. You could potentially miss out on opportunities. How do you balance protection with openness to new experiences? See, this makes Joe sound like a compelling guy. Right? He doesn't know Joe either. Ha ha ha!

I mean, it really makes it puts all of us. It makes all of us sound level headed and interesting. It really does. I mean, maybe that's what's missing from our podcast. Well, what I like is at one point in this, Joe says, well put guys. Yeah. So he like, he's like, it's clear that always be blocking is a nuanced approach to maintaining. It's not nuanced at all. There's nothing nuanced about blocking people. It's a straightforward shot to the bow of somebody's,

to be in your life. You're just cutting them off. That's not nuanced. There's nothing nuanced about it, which is also probably why we're ending this show. But I do appreciate somebody doing this. And when ChatGPT gets a little bit better, I'll be interested to see. Because I think...

Joe's first question would be like, why are you guys on the show? Who booked you two? How'd you get here? Wait, what do you do? What do either of you do? I've never heard of any of you. Of either of you? No. I know you say you've done this for a long time, Greg, but I don't... I've never met you. I don't know what he's just not that into who is. Sex in the city, isn't that for chicks? Well, stay tuned for some more eye-opening discussions right here on the Joe Rogan Experience. Pow, pow, pow, pow.

Oh, God. I like when Jerry is playing Battleship with Elaine. And he makes her go... We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

This is the theme song for What Does This Mean Song. The theme song for What Does This Mean Song. We'll read a self-help quote, and they're definitely not memes. Memes are something completely different than quotes. Quotes are supposed to help you through all the bullshit in your life. And memes are like a podcast.

poster of that cat hanging from a tree and it says hang in there baby or mondays am i right

my name is am i right so if you can think of a different title then we'll probably change it what does this mean i haven't sang into the segment in a while yeah and it's our last shot to do it yeah that was great yeah this is what does this mean

I love take on me. I should have done take on me. You should have. Take on meme. Take on meme. Anyway, it's good to be back. It's good that we're here. Catherine Ramadi wanted to send us a little thing in our Gmail, excuse me, DTBFF podcast on Gmail. And you don't have to remember it. Nope. But it's there. She said she made her own meme. Loving yourself is the healthiest thing you can do.

She also said, this is a quote from my book I just published that Greg... Catherine Ramadi. I wrote for... Yeah. That's all right. This is a quote from my book I just published that Greg endorsed. Befriend yourself, the self-love path to peace. I would love a shout out if possible. I'm moving to LA and can give you guys signed copies soon. Thanks for the advice and giggles over the last 200 episodes. Love ya. Kat. Yeah. Thank you. I would love a signed copy. Yeah. Please. Thank you for being a part of the show.

We've heard from you many times. She also sent a picture of the endorsement from Gregory and just wanted to say thanks again, which is cool. And then a picture of the... So we'll throw this up on our Instagram. Befriend Yourself by Catherine Ramadi. The self-love path to peace.

Thank you, Catherine. We have another thank you. We're going to fill out our what does this mean stuff with thank yous from you guys. Yeah. Those are somewhat memes. They fill us up, make us feel good. They do. Anonymous sent one. Now that sounds like we're lying about the thank yous. Yeah, right. Just made them up. How embarrassed are you to be on the show that you send a thank you, but you want that to be anonymous? God.

Like when you're, do you know what I mean? Like I can understand if you're writing about genital herpes, you're like, I don't want people at work to know about this. Yeah, exactly. But this is like, I don't want people to know that I like this show. That I enjoy this show. I'd rather just stay anonymous. Yeah. Could you keep me anonymous? I want to thank you for all the 200 episodes, but not, I'm not gonna give you my name.

So Anonymous says, hey, so I don't like making public comments, but I wanted to say thank you for running DTBFF as long as you did. You actually helped me get through a very dark period after a 26-year marriage ended. You brought light and laughter and a little bit of my feisty spark back. Thank you, and I look forward to what you bring us next. Oh, man. I'm going to tell you that you don't. No. You won't love what we do next. No, you won't. Because it's going to be mostly racist. Oh, no. Okay.

It's going to be super negative. Yeah. Well, we're going to solve racism by being racist. That's how you combat it. Yeah, exactly. It eats itself. Yeah, it does. And our show is brought to you by Liquid Death. Liquid Death. Not the drink. Mmm, baby. Actual Liquid Death. Liquid Death, like Oppenheimer. Yeah. We're making our own fireworks. Yeah. Fucking hell. Let's see here. Allison sent one.

Guys, this one's from Allison. I absolutely loved DTBFF. I took a screenshot of this months ago, but didn't think it was quite worth sending in. But now that things are wrapping up, I figured I should. This guy's comment made me think of Kane's classic silent date. I never did figure out if he was a fellow listener. The listener. We went on a couple of fun dates, but that was it. And it says, hey, still on for 1030. I lost my voice.

a little at the Mariners game last night, but otherwise I'm good. And he says, still on. We can whisper the whole time. Silent first date sounds like an old MTV show concept. Well, it's not, guy. It's a Kane Holloway original. Don't want to date with somebody and don't talk. Put on sunglasses. Maybe they're asleep. You will have no idea. Thank you very much, Allison. That was lovely.

Then we have one from Daria. Daria says, first of all, she wants to just let everyone know that square uncut sandwich gang for life. Square uncut sandwich. Yeah, so she just eats it. No cut. She just eats it whole. Like a beast? Like a bear, yeah. It's like what a pig does. Exactly. Like a pig.

There's no finesse to how you eat your sandwich. You just hold the whole fucking thing while it flops? Yeah, while it just... Like part of it bends? Yeah, and then like some of the stuff falls out of it. Yeah. You've united Greg and I... Finally. ...on this subject with your whole sandwich ass. Sandwich is... Uneducated. It's not a sandwich. It's not. It's just a mound of ingredients mushed together. What the fuck is that? You eat uncooked dough too? Do you like things in a pile? Yeah. Yeah.

Is that how you get dressed? Is that how you like? Yeah. That's just crazy. That's insane. That's like you shower with your clothes on. Yeah, you're being crazy. Like a whole uncut square. First off, they're not always square. They're not always square. It depends on the bread. I don't even understand what Daria is doing right now. You make the sandwich. Yeah, she makes the whole thing. And then you don't have the time to slice it? You already have a knife out for the mayonnaise.

To spread the mayo or the mustard. We both agree that mayonnaise is on the sandwich. Mayonnaise is always on the sandwich. I'll never understand people who don't like it. It makes the sandwich better. Although I do like crunch. I like crunch, too. Crunch is really tasty. Crunch is really tasty. I'm getting a sandwich after this. All right. I'm getting a sandwich. That's all there is to it. She also says...

Also because Pat put on our Instagram, we're recording the last two episodes this Wednesday. Send anything you'd like us to read on the last episode Tuesday night. So she wanted the sandwich thing first. Then the next thing is three cushion team rules checked and I have three cushions on my couch and on my bed. And I'm with her here.

No, I mean, that's sad, but that's all right. You got to have room to have your, you need room for that fucking sandwich. Why don't you use the fucking sandwich as a pillow? Because it is a pillow. You're essentially eating a pillow. When you don't cut your sandwich, you're eating a pillow. You fuck. Enjoy your pillow. Enjoy your meat pillow. Look, I made a meat pillow. Meat pillow.

Then she also said, Sal will always be the best member of this podcast. Three controversial takes, but they all needed to be said. I agree with the Sal one. Sal one is really... Yeah, I miss Sal when we do it in the studio. I know. Sal was the best part. He'd just sit there in Pat's arms, begging for treats. That's right. And he wouldn't know what the fuck was going on. We'd be eating cheese and yelling at each other. Yeah. Thank you, Daria. That was lovely.

I got another one from Nia. She says, guys, it's Nia from 2020 who wrote in about the vigilante date guy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Nia. Are you his sidekick? What happened?

Since jumping off of the dating merry-go-round, I've invested that time I was wasting in something much more creative and productive. I've attended loads of writing workshops and now take regular art classes. In fact, I've been shortlisted for two art prizes in the last six months. Nice. A much better and satisfying use of my time. Just wanted to say thanks for the laughs. My absolute favorite thing is when you guys lose it, it's infectious. Looking forward to whatever you come back with.

All the best, Nia. You know what I'm realizing about the show? We didn't help anyone flourish in a relationship. But what we did was isolate everyone to pursue anything but a relationship. People gave, like, they listened to us. They gave up on relationships. That's what happened. Yeah.

You know, if you think about it, my masterwork is get out of the relationship. Yeah. I don't know what you fucking do next. I wrote books about dating and I wrote books about breaking up and they did okay. Yeah. People were interested. Mm-hmm.

Well, it was nothing compared to my masterwork, which is just stop. Just stop doing it. And then just fucking, I don't know. I don't know. I don't fucking know. Do what? And also, and also I don't really want to talk about it. Yeah. Like we wrote other books because those opportunities came to us and we had kids in private school. So we took the opportunities. Yeah. But to be fair, I would have happily stopped writing.

And he's just not that into you. Although I do love it's called a breakup. But that's only good because of Amira. But and just said, let's not talk about it anymore. The magic of me is I'm only on Oprah for one year and then I'm done. Yeah. I have nothing else to say. Get rid of your shitty boyfriend. Don't bug me. Why am I a coach?

Want 10 sessions? You can have 15 minutes with me and you're done. How did we make it to 200 episodes? There's nothing to say. There is nothing. Except the same thing. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Which is, you know, when people... That's why when I had my talk show, the first show was, get rid of that guy. The second show was, find a wedding ring inside of a cake. Ha ha ha!

And then had women fighting over wedding rings in a cake. Like, it just became trash. Yeah. I love it. Dude, I love that. But that's so true, and that's also why the show itself is ending. Because, you know, when Greg talked about it in whatever episode it was when we announced the end of the show, we...

And truly, you know, when you brought me to be a part of it, I was nervous to give any advice. Like, I didn't know if I'd be good at it. And then as you go through... You are very good at it. Thank you. But as you go through doing this, and you do find yourself hearing the same questions and doing the same things...

and saying the same things over and over again. So you do get tired. So the times when we're, like the clips that I would post on the Instagram weren't even the questions. It was us dicking around. Yes. And so if you're wondering what the new show is going to be, it's going to be mostly dicking around. I mean, to be fair. Yeah. Without the constraint of feeling like we're not leading you down a path, like to really be great at,

self-help people have to want to be you yes i gotta be honest guys i know nobody listening nobody not one person when i did walking in the room there were people that wanted to be like me because i because i was a monumental loser okay and people like that yeah yeah yeah yeah but just as a self-help guy i don't you know i mean like

You've got to be pumping out quotes. Yeah. And you've got to really be selling all different kinds of ideas. Yeah. Plus you have to live a life that I'm just too tired for. Yeah. Yeah.

You know what I mean? But also that like lifestyle of live this, do that. I actually just watched a, I watched a fucking video, another video recently about a guy who attempted to get into the self-help ring of, but in the financial sphere. And this dude was like, I'm going over to my club that's being renovated right now. And I'm going to show you these cars I'm about to buy. And,

and then he's like doing self-help on the, he's like, don't try to compete with people. Stop buying things you don't need, even though he's going out and buying another watch. You know, he's just doing all these things. And then his channel starts to blow up.

But anytime people ask him, where'd you get your money to then start making a channel about your success? Because I've never heard of you. Yeah. Like, you don't work at any big thing, and you don't seem to have a company. So where did you get your money? The guy would always be really vague about how he got his money. And then the FBI raided his shit. Oh, my God.

And he made his money from jacking fire sticks and adding free content that people had to pay for, like Game of Thrones and all kinds of stuff, and then selling that for a profit. So he'd buy like a $50 fire stick, sell it for like $150, where it's all like rigged up with a bunch of free copyrighted television shows and tax evasion. Yeah. Incredible. So he shot himself in the foot.

To be able to enter the sphere, he was telling people, live like me. But in order to live like the guy, you have to be actively a criminal. Well, and most of the guys that are really famous at that, they're making money just talking and telling you how great you are. Yeah. But they haven't done anything really. Right. Right.

Really? The money they made is from telling you... You can make money. That you can make money. Right. That's where their money comes in. Right. Sure, they've had their hands in maybe other things, but the bulk, the reason you're watching about how to make money from them, it's almost essentially the same thing as people who pay... I'll show you how to go viral on social media and YouTube if you pay and you take my course. Right. But that's...

You have no control over that. No. I have high def cameras and we're in a studio right now and roll the dice, not even 50-50, I'd say it's 20-80, one of these clips does anything. It might be even lower than that. It might be 9% that one of these clips does anything. And if you were to take one of those courses, it would say get good cameras, post every day,

Yeah. I'm literally doing that. Be viral. Be viral. Right. Go be viral. Yeah. But yeah, it's not a lifestyle that everyone should be doing. Not everyone should be in this sphere. So many people are. And the thing I liked about our show is it even reared its head at one point because we were always saying like, our advice is our advice. It's not...

It's not the advice. It's just our advice. There is no the advice. Yeah. But people will sell the advice. Yes. Absolutely. Yeah. Exclusive advice. Exclusive, this is the advice. Yes. And you won't actually get all of it. You'll get some of it. Yeah. Exactly. If you want all of it, you've got to take our course. Yeah. Right. And then you've got to take this other course. And then if you want to become a master...

And then maybe you could sell our course. Right. And maybe we could take a little profit off the course that you're selling under our teaching. Yeah. I mean, even Tim, I mean, Tim, Tony Robbins does that. Yeah. Tim Robbins does not. No. Tim Robbins is not selling out Dodger Stadium and giving motivational speeches. No, he's not. But McConaughey is. Now McConaughey's jumped into this. No.

No kidding. I would listen to McConaughey. I wouldn't listen to McConaughey. But I would buy a ticket and listen to what McConaughey had to say. First off, McConaughey is hawking a product where it's a spray and it gave him his hair back. He shows you pictures of his head when he was balding and he was going. He was headed out. And now he's got a lustrous hair.

It's beautiful. Of hair. But he's not... But the fact is, it's got to be implants. Yeah, yeah. And there's nothing wrong with implants. Joel McHale talks about his implants all the time. Yeah, he looks good too. Joel McHale went from a guy who was on his way out to a guy who has the healthiest head of hair. You've ever seen. It's incredible. Look at Spider-Man 2. Look at him in Spider-Man 2. And then look at him season...

three or four of community. It's a different guy. Sure. Completely different looking guy. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know what McConaughey is hawking. I would just be interested to hear the weird shit. If his self-help advice is anything like his Dallas Buyers Club Oscar speech where he thanked himself in the past.

then I'm there. He said that he was his own hero from the past. Yeah. His future self. I mean, it was...

Confusing and long. Yes. And I loved every second of it. Yeah. And I was also mad that DiCaprio... I was such a DiCaprio guy back in the day that I was like, I can't believe DiCaprio lost... You know, you see Dallas Buyers Club is very good and he's good in it. But I was like, come on, man. What does DiCaprio have to do? And I think I backed the wrong horse. Yeah, yeah. I was such a fan. Yeah. That I was mad at McConaughey. Yeah. I mean...

McConaughey is good for the entertainment value in that he's just sort of... But anybody who gets a little right-wing adjacent for me bums me out. Is McConaughey a little right-wingy? He's a little centrist. He's a little we can all talk it out kind of. And I'm like, we can't all talk it out. No, no. Mandy Rose sent one to our Instagram. What is that word?

Nutris... Nutris... Nutrisutical. Nutrisutical girl here. Oh, yeah, that's right. I remember that word. Nutrisutical... Nutrisu... Fuck it. You guys read my message a while back about when I went on a date and the fucker told me I was too pretty to be that smart when I told him what I did for a living. I remember that. Well, since then, I have become a new mom. Oh, my God. Oh, wow.

That's a jump. Yeah. That's a crazy jump. Remember I went on that date with that guy? He said I was too pretty to be smart. I'm a mom now. Okay. What if that's the end of the letter too? She's like, all right, anyway, I just want to say thanks.

Okay. I posted my first selfie without my son on my story, and the same guy replied to the story with, there's no way you're a mom and look like that, which was kind of flattering because definitely haven't felt all that hot since having a baby. But from him, my first thought was like, gosh, do I have to be ugly to be smart or be a mom? Yeah.

But maybe he's never met a woman before. What is he? He's all new. He's an alien? He's a guy who every time he sees a woman, it's Christmas morning. And he can't believe it. And he's so stunned at how good looking they are that he can't fathom they can carry the weight of anything else.

How can you be that pretty and give birth? I don't understand. How can you be that pretty and drive? It doesn't seem like you would be able to focus. I can. I have a hard time driving, and I'm a guy. And we can do anything, I think. I don't really know. He had the same line. It's so strange. The same line. He sure did. What a doofus.

LOL, anyways, just thought I'd give you an update, and I'm sad this will be your last few shows. You guys have been making me laugh since the beginning. Good luck to all of you in your future endeavors. Again, we're not breaking up like the Beatles. We're just not doing this show anymore. Yeah, we just realized that we weren't really doing this show. Like, we sort of stopped doing it, and then we weren't really sure what we were doing, and we were like, let's re-

Imagine the show, refocus it, come back and do something different.

where we feel like we're not letting down the whole premise of the show. Also, if we could take the fucks out of the title. That might help. We need the fucks and the bullshit out of the title. Yeah, we need something that's easy for people to find and is, you know, and you don't have to go, which letters are blacked out? Yeah, every time I would use it as a credit, people would have a hard time.

the hosts would butcher it. They'd be like, this next guy has a podcast. It's great. It's called Don't Fuck With Me. And...

And I'm like, yeah, whatever. And then some of the people are like, what's the podcast? How do I find it? Then I go like, all right, it's called Don't Take Bullshit from Fuck, but you have to, you can't type that in. And the stars, there's asterisks for the, one of the letters. I can't remember if it's the H in shit or it's the I, I don't know. So just type in D-T-B-L-E-N-D-O-T-S.

And they'll be like, okay, could you slow down? So then they're going, D-B-T-F-F. Is it this? And they'd show me something else. No, I mean, we just fucked ourselves. Yeah, we did. I mean, my last name already fucks us over anyway. But yeah, so don't worry about us, about the show, Mandy. We'll be back with something. We have a lot of ideas that we're kicking around. And then, ooh,

Didi Sammy, she sent one. She goes, Hi, I'm so sad that this podcast is ending. I want to let you guys know that I look forward to DTBFF every week. You guys were my favorite comedy podcast. I first stumbled upon this podcast when I heard Greg on another podcast. Girls gotta eat. Could be. Maybe it was Pardo. Could have been. I've only been on two podcasts since we started.

I had to check you guys out. I loved Greg's books. I have all three of them. Greg's second book, it's called A Breakup. There's four. He's got four books. You got to get that other one. Get that one that comes out in October unscribed called Catch You on the Way Down. God. Love that title. Good title. Great title.

I have all of his books, Greg's second book, it's called A Breakup Because It's Broken, really helped me through my first long-term relationship breakup. I read that multiple times, and Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth. Well, he's not on the show, is he? Dee Dee, come on. He will be, though. He'll be in the fourth chair. Yeah, sure. Talking so slowly. Well, when you're trying to be present...

Something like that. I was just like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Come on, Eckhart. It's truly because all of your answer and comment...

with your honest opinions and don't care about calling others out on their bullshit. It's honestly, it's honesty and humorous. I also wanted to say that I related so much to Cain when he was telling us all his horrible dad stories. I'm like, this is all truly sad and traumatizing, but hilarious. Thanks. And last note, Pat's laugh is golden. Good luck. Good luck on whatever you guys do next. Keep us updated. We will DD. Last on Instagram,

This one, Donna Vans sent one and said, I was thrilled to hear Cain read the hinge poll I sent a few episodes ago. I just heard the show is retiring and wanted to say thank you. I discovered the podcast when I was in the middle of a divorce and listened through from the first episode. My marriage ended in a pretty terrible way. Like maybe I missed an opportunity to submit a roast my ex kind of way. Ah, you should have done it. Yeah.

This podcast has been a part of my healing journey. Thanks for all the laughs, advice, and encouragement. I feel a little more hopeful about future romantic relationships because of you all. I'm looking forward to seeing what awesome things you do next. Donna. Thank you, Donna. So Nick sent one regarding the announcement. I'm here for it. Hard decision for you, I imagine. And the end, was it?

It happened pretty quick. Really? Yeah. You said, what if we changed the show? Because we were planning 200. Yeah. And then Greg was, we were trying to figure out a thing, and I don't think our schedules were going to line up. And because of that little hardship, Greg was like, what if we just ended the show? Yeah. Yeah.

We're going to do like a live show or have a guest or something. I was like, why don't we just end it? Yeah, that's true. Just put a chip in there and just end it. Oh, fuck. Oh, my God.

It's the end of an era for sure, but also with the promise of a new evolution and with the added bonus of additional gender representation. Excited to see the next chapter. Actually, we're not having women on now. That's the next chapter. It's more just more men. It's more men and whiter. If we could make it whiter. Holy shit.

He says, looking forward to the new show. At first thought of the last episode of Seinfeld, but then remembered the last episode of the show, New Heart, and maybe DTPFF was all a dream. If you don't know the last episode, it might be a look-see. And then he says, block on.

Block on. Block on. Block on. Where the fuck was that when we were... That's the first I've ever heard block on. That was good. I like block on. Where the fuck was that? Because we're not bringing our mantra to the new show. We're not bringing don't take bullshit from fuckers, always be blocking. That's here. There's 200 episodes of that. We're not bringing that to the new show. So the fact that you didn't say block on earlier...

To clue us in to a catchphrase. Yeah. Very upsetting. Block on is good. We could have been block on. We could have been block on. Yeah, yeah. I mean, but it's also two items from the store. Because we make our $36 a year a piece from our merch empire.

We're just like Taylor Swift. We just fucking churn out that money. That's right. Swift is making something like $15 million this year just off of merch. That's crazy. Something like that. That's cool. Yeah. Also, I hope none of you were surprised by the end of the show. No. Because I think, what was it?

Like 10 episodes into the show, Greg was trying to change the name. He was. He sure was. Well, because I knew what we just talked about. Yeah. That we couldn't get people to find it. Right. And of course, my wife didn't like it. Your wife didn't like it? Of course. Your wife and kids. I don't think. I honestly don't think they've ever heard an episode. Oh, my God. I'm certain of it.

Four years worth. Four years, no interest. I have no interest in what you're saying. I mean, I suppose if you live with somebody, you pretty much know what they have to say. Yeah, yeah. You know? I think that they would be delighted at how funny it is, but I think they'd also be grossed out by it. Sure. Yeah.

What if they found out you were like an alt-right Batman? Where you're like, at home, you're a very liberal Bruce Wayne. But on here, you're very much like, I don't think these people need rights. Oh, no. Exactly. What an adventure. I met one of my ex-girlfriends on this show. You sure did. Yes, you did. I met one of my exes on this show. That's right. Raina.

Greenberg of Girls Gotta Eat. If you didn't do Girls Gotta Eat and then that show bring us a ton of listeners, we would have never... Yeah, and they're all gone. They all left. All gone. And went back to Girls Gotta Eat for sure. But yeah, I had a little stint in New York as a result of doing the show with Katrina. That was pretty crazy. That was crazy. That moved pretty... It also moved pretty fast too. Yeah. That was a pretty crazy...

I knew it was going to happen. You knew it? I didn't know that it was going to end, but I knew it was going to happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I also, yeah, it was just, it moved really fast. And then it like had to, we just had to like end that thing. But yeah, you know, that was a weird time too. That was a weird time. I was also, I just remember her messaging me saying,

I remember I was talking to you guys like, is this fucking, is this real? Yeah. I just, I was so confused that she had any interest in me. Remember that? I was just like, what the fuck? This is crazy. And so, yeah, that was a weird look back. Oh, yeah. Because I haven't really thought about that in a while. Right. Yeah. Well, just to put the nail in the coffin of what does this mean? No more. I brought back a favorite. I've got, and I'm only going to read one.

I've got a real man quote for you. I love it. I love it. If you want a hint of what the future of this podcast is, listen. Nowadays, some girls are more busy than businessmen, handling seven to ten customers at the same time. He hasn't grown a bit. Is that Aquaman on the pictures? It is. It is.

You couldn't have picked a less problematic person to put with that quote. Jason Momoa, everyone loves that guy. He did say he liked the rape scenes in Game of Thrones. What? Yeah. Oh, no. He said they were fun to shoot. He said something like that and then had to walk it all back. Oh, God. He was a little bro about it. Because I remember, what's her name?

The woman who... Emilia Clarke? Yeah. Emilia Clarke said that she'll always be grateful to Jason Momoa for how he handled those. He tried to keep her comfortable and made sure to wrap her in blankets and not make her feel unsafe. So he went behind the scenes, apparently. He was a good guy. He was very sweet. I think he's a good guy. Good person. But then...

just what 15 years later it was like those rape scenes were fucking chill bro he said something like at a comic con or something like that i think he was trying to be funny right oh and maybe it would have been funny if he had just been on rogan's podcast or something like that sure yeah yeah you know made some kind of comment you know yeah yeah that probably 10 years ago nobody would have even thought about yeah for sure

For sure. But yeah, now you got to be a little bit smarter than that. For sure. Well, that's it. We did it. It's over. We've been wanting to kill what does this mean forever. Forever. It's done. It's done. It's done. That's the last one. Thank God. Oh my God. We'll be right back. Segment three. Last one. This is it. We're done.

All right. It's all over but the crying. Yeah, it's not like the last episode of Friends. It is like the last episode of Seinfeld, however, where they're just sort of hanging out in the jail cell talking about each other's clothes. Yeah. That's sort of what it's like. That episode from the beginning, even the stuff at the beginning that's just them in the coffee shop, none of it works. Yeah. It's so weird. It is a strange episode. It's a really strange episode. It's like they're doing an imitation of...

It feels chat GPT. It really does feel. Now that we have that reference point. Yeah. It seems like they're doing a Seinfeld. Yeah, that's exactly what it feels like. Because even the episode before it where they're in the. Beautiful. Yeah, they're in the. Parade. Parade. Right. And they caught all that flack. It's perfect. It's a great episode. And it's like they're out of their comfort zone.

Like they usually are, but they're still trying to get their way. Like it's, it feels very scientific. So then the next one, yeah, it's where it's like Larry David tried to be too creative. He like tried to go look, cause they brought him back.

Just for that one episode. And he was the one with the whole, like, let's do the Good Samaritan law, blah, blah, blah. But yeah, like Elaine missing those phone calls on the cell phone and they're like, you don't know the cell phone etiquette? Yeah. And you're like, what the fuck? It's like they didn't nail it. Yeah. Normally they nail the little...

minutiae thing they're talking about. Yeah. You know, like, oh, that is an annoyance. Oh, that is a thing that people do. But this was like, there's no cell phone. It felt like they were... Yeah. It was like they're new. It also felt like cell phones were new. Yeah. Because I didn't have one. And I don't remember my parents really even having a cell phone. It was like kind of a...

either you had money or you had an important job that required a cell phone. So not everybody had them. So to then hear about cell phone etiquette at that time feels strange because it's not the cell phone etiquette we have now. You miss somebody, it's just how it is. I'm hard to get a hold of.

I'm Elaine. You can't get a hold of me. Right. I'm terrible at that. Yeah. But yeah, that was a terrible... So yeah, let's not make it... I hope this wasn't the... Because I skipped that one. I watched the... I do too. I watched the second to last one and then I fucking restarted. The Puerto Rico Day Parade. Yeah, and then I restarted the show. Yeah. Did they get a lot of flack for that one? Yeah, they got a lot of... Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they got a lot of shit. Why? The Puerto Rican community...

did not like their representation of how they hold up traffic during the parades and stuff. And the depiction of the parade was more of a joke and less of a celebration of Puerto Rican people. But also that was the whole point. If you go back and really look at it, as I have, Elaine is kind of a Karen. And if you think about how many times she has confrontations with black or Latino people, uh,

Yeah. She yells at black people all the time. Oh, my God. She yells at the flight attendant on the plane. Yeah. She yells at the girl that owns Cinco de Mayo. Oh, yeah. And Puta de Mayo. Constance Mayo. When they go to the airport and they ask, how much do you get tipped for the bag? Yeah, that's right. She yells at the black porter. Oh, no. Is Elaine racist? I mean, she's like...

Constantly. She's trying to find out if her boyfriend is black. That dude, she thinks he's black and they're always, yo, keep it down. And then they just go to the gap. So we're just two white people? Or when they're talking about...

the labor or whatever and like the, and black people. And then the waitress walks up and she's black and they all just over tip because of their white guilt. Yes. Oh my God. Or in the episode where she calls the black woman sister. That's okay. My boyfriend's black. Yes. I'm black. That's right. I'm black. That's right. Yeah.

Dude, you're right. You're right. That's funny. I didn't even... It just sort of occurred to me because I've watched it so much because I can't... I put them on when I'm getting ready to do stand-up. I don't even have to be watching them. I just want to hear it. Yes. Because I don't need to see them. I've seen them all. Yeah, yeah. And then I just started to notice that she gets confrontational. I mean, she gets confrontational with everyone. I mean, they're not good people. No. She's the most...

ironically, Kramer is the best of the four. The sweetest person. He's the sweetest. Yes. He treats everyone equally. He's just trying to get through life without having to get a job and just being himself. Yes. Jerry is narcissistic and, you know, but he's a stand-up and he lives that kind of lifestyle. He's a no-bad. George is awful. But Elaine...

It's just sort of secretly the thing I love. The thing like I knew I knew I would never date her, would never date Elaine when she has the argument with the guy about the exclamation point about Moira having the baby. This is now the last episode of Seinfeld. We're spending our last segment talking about Seinfeld. We are. A show that's been over for 20 years.

I think that's pretty perfect. That's pretty perfect for our show. Breaking down if Elaine is a racist Karen or not. No one ever talks about it. I mean, she went to elite schools. Her father is an old, drunk writer. Yeah. She's sort of Eastern Seaboard kind of. Yeah. Yeah. And she's mean. She gets kicked out of a Yankees game. She's that mean. Well, she should have kept her hat on. There's no reason for her to take that hat off. What?

She's at a baseball game in America. No, but she was at the behest of Jerry's girlfriend's dad, who works for the Yankees. I know you got her the seats, but still, she's at a baseball game. What are we doing? Well, we do actually want to thank... We want to do spend a little bit of time before we get out of here, thanking all of you for sticking around and listening to the show. And by that, you mean just Aaron...

Right, Aaron, who listens to the show when we do it. Yeah, because that's all who's really listening. I love you, Aaron. Aaron's the best. Oddly, don't unsubscribe from the show, though, because Pat is going to still be cutting up

Clips from episodes, things that are left in the vault that you haven't gotten to see. It's in the vault. I've got about 100 episodes worth of clips to pull. I think they're going to be Patreon only. If you have a DTBFF hankering, check us out on our Patreon. Yeah, patreon.com slash DTBFF. We'll put it at the $1 level. Yeah.

Throw in a buck and listen to old clips of us. There's no level like the $1 level. Everyone loves the $1. Everyone loves the $1 level. Taco Bell, McDonald's, they all have a dollar menu. Yeah. This is our dollar menu. But the Patreon will be switching over to the new show's name along with the Discord that will also just be switching over. It will still exist. So all that stuff will still be out there for you. Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah.

And, well, Pat, we didn't really hear from you. What I was talking about this with my girlfriend recently, and I love the idea that you and I met doing the show. That is true. And I didn't know who you were. And just in the same way, like if Greg and I know, when a set's not going well, you just try to get to know the one guy enjoying the show. Right. You just get to know the audience. Right, right. What do you do for a living? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And at times when I had nothing to add,

I would turn and I would do that to you. So what is it that you're, what do you think, Pat? And where Pat, I think, was supposed to just be the producer who laughed in the background. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Became the third Mike.

Oh, yeah, totally. And so I would like to hear from Pat as we close out. Well, just, you know, it's been a real pleasure doing this show. It's been a journey. Like, this has been the last four years of my life. Like, we started it in my apartment, and we moved it to All Things Comedy. It's been great. It's been a real great getting to know you, Kane. Obviously, Greg, I've known for a long time. This is the most time we've certainly spent together. So quality, quality time all around. Yeah.

I wanted to thank all the listeners who have been with us and everybody who's been a guest on this show. Thanks so much. Yeah. Really. Yeah, we've had some good guests. Yeah, great guests. And yeah, I mean, for everyone who's listened and been a part of the show and are the listener. Yeah. Like, we really are very grateful. I've never, I mean, I've never really had a diehard fan base before. Right.

until we did this show. Yeah. And so it was really cool to have that. Yeah, and I was hoping to get one. But here's the thing. Make sure you write Kane. Write Kane and let him know how's it going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, let me know. Yeah, yeah, if you want to write the new show, feel free to write the new show, but that's not going to be the mainstay of the show. No. You know? Yeah. But we do love to hear from you guys, and if you want to add to the new show. Oh, also, let's tell them the name. Yeah, we...

This also came pretty quick. It did. It did. We just figured this out a couple weeks ago. Yeah, in the studio. Because we have such an obsession with alpha males. We really do. And toxic masculinity. And toxic masculinity. Real men. And homophobia. Love homophobia. We love it. We love it.

Transphobia. Love it. No, no, no. Because I don't get it. It's not something I feel. Yeah. So I just don't get it, you know? But we... So we thought, well, what are we? And then I was like, are we... We're beta. We're definitely beta men or boys. No. And...

And then was it Pat said, I think we're aggressively beta. Yeah. You watched a video that said, if you go and see, which I think I've seen on TikTok, if you go see the Barbie movie, you're a beta. You're a beta. And then you told me, you told us, I think I'm a beta because I went and saw it and I loved it. I loved it. And then I was like, well, I loved it. I went and saw it. It was my idea. It wasn't even my girlfriend's idea. It was fucking my idea. That movie. So I'm in an AA meeting the other day.

And the guy sharing is this big, burly fucking dude with a red beard. And he's laying... It's a beautiful share. And he talks about... He says... So I went to the Barbie movie. And a couple guys behind me went, boo! And nobody boos at an AA meeting. Like... Whoa. Yeah. I was like, oh, man, that fucking movie is under people's skin. Also, I maybe don't like AA so much. Yeah. But it was so fucking...

I'm like, I hate you if you hated that movie. Yeah. Really. It really doesn't make any sense. It's not a movie to hate. But...

The fact that someone can be annoyed by... Like, I didn't... I just watched it and was like, yeah, yeah, I love this. Yeah. Your identity is hating Barbie for the mere idea that you think Barbie hates you. You think Barbie hates men, all that. So our concept of moving into the show is just what...

Some of the topics we've talked about on this show and the alpha toxic masculinity, all that stuff that is then engaged with their understanding of what they want to be depicted at as alpha males. If that's what it takes to be an alpha, then I'm perfectly happy being a beta. Yeah. And so then, but we also yell and scream and, and,

about alphas I would never be afraid of someone who deemed themselves alpha no I'm not someone who would follow you know which I think is the antithesis of a beta I'm not I would never follow someone who thinks themselves alpha yes so we were talking about it the whole beta concept and Pat said that we're aggressively beta yeah yes and then we all started laughing and we're like that's it show yeah

It's aggressively beta, and it's a big umbrella. Absolutely. We're not just going to stick to the stuff we just talked about. It's going to be all the goofy shit we've been talking about as well. Yeah. Our experiences as quote-unquote beta males. Yeah, yeah. What we enjoy and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And we really want to infuse a female component. Absolutely. Or...

Any non-binary as well. Yeah, sure. But we're going to have guests that are not white males. Yes. Which will be great. Yeah, yeah, of course. We've had a lot of... We had both on our show. We seemed to have a lot of success whenever we had a female voice in the room. Yeah. Which I just think... And we didn't... To our great shame, we didn't have enough...

queer and non-binary people on the show. Yeah. You know, but I think putting those voices out

In here, the comedians, because there's so many great comedians that we want to get on the show. So I think it'll be really, I think it's gonna be really fun. It will be fun. The main thing is that it's fun. It won't get heavy. Sometimes with the relationship show, sometimes you're dealing with some shit and you're like, oh man, this is hard. Yeah, this will be essentially the spinoff of Don't Take Bullshit. Aggressively Beta is our better call Saul.

What's going to be our new Instagram handle?

aggressively beta. I think no, no one would want that Instagram. Yeah. So I think wide open. Let me double check. Cause I haven't looked at it yet since I got it. Yeah. It's aggressively beta podcast. Yeah. And the first meme will be what time is Barbie? Um, yeah, we're probably going to take about a month or so off and then come back with, um, new artwork and, uh,

New music. New music. New music, yeah. We got a ton of things to work on that we haven't worked on yet because we wanted to spend time ending this show. Yeah. It'll be on All Things Comedy Studios as well. So it's just going to be back on the same studio. But yes, if you guys want to... The Instagram is already up. There's nothing on it. But if you want to go follow it, please go ahead. Get a head start. Get a head start. Aggressively Beta...

It's just going to be the Instagram itself is just going to be, the first one will be what time is Barbie? And then the rest is just going to be pictures of Margot Robbie. Okay.

So it'll be a Margot Robbie fan page. Sure. It's a Margot Robbie fan page. Yeah, of course. But you'll like it. Yeah. And the pictures will encompass her whole career. Yeah. It won't just be from Barbie. It'll be I, Tonya, too. I love that movie. I've seen it like 12 times. Awesome. It's fucking great.

Well, you guys were fantastic. I hope you guys come over and listen to the new show. If we never hear from you again or you guys don't listen to us again, we hope you're doing well out there and out in the world. And...

You know, we'll give you all that information. If you can follow me at Kane Holloway on Instagram. I'll be at Gregor's. I am presently at DTBFF, Producer Pat, but I'm going to be at AB, Producer Pat. Ooh. And for the last time ever...
