Ever had one of those hangovers that just won't quit, despite your best efforts? One where that throbbing headache or the constant retching makes you swear off alcohol for good? Well, we've all been there! In our recent conversation, we took a trip down memory lane to some of our most infamous hangovers - the kind that unfold after a night of too much of a good thing or a themed party gone wild.
Our chat wasn't just tales of woe, though. We also revisited the reckless freedom of our twenties and contrasted it with the responsibilities of fatherhood. From a memorable first year at Coachella, fueled by breakfast burritos and shots, to the dangerous game of "Beer Life" that had us downing pints like there was no tomorrow, we laid it all bare. But we also acknowledged the darker side of these antics, highlighting the risks of binge drinking and the importance of knowing when to say no.
And then there were those drinking stories that are more cautionary tales than badge-of-honor-worthy exploits. Remember that time with the cement mixer shots or the one that led to a hospital trip? Or the fun trip to Costco that ended with an unbearable hangover? We discussed these and more, sharing the lessons we've learned along the way. So, buckle up for a hearty chat filled with laughter, cautionary tales, and a few unforgettable anecdotes.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gentlemen of the World, and I have a sidebar
question for you.
My name is Evan.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
John.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Andrew Dave.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Vern Justin.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Dave, alex.
So, gentlemen, tell me thestory of the worst hangover
you've ever had.
Wow.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Very well Ugh.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
Hmm.
And what are.
Can you just give us someparameters Like does this
include the drinking aspect ofit, or is it just the feeling
afterwards, or is it kind?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
of whatever you want to be.
Lay the story out for me.
What happened before after?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
How much time do we have?
Speaker 6 (00:46):
So I'll start.
When Evan asked me, or hebrought up this, we were talking
in the car on the way here, andwhen he, when we started
talking through it, a visioncame in of my head of the
hangover itself, like the moment, but it was linked to lots of
moments, but it was more like aperiod in time.
(01:08):
Everything honed in on a periodof time and I felt myself like
the.
My mind started painting thepicture of this is where you are
now, this is where you'relaying on the couch, this is the
blanket wrapped around you andlike all that stuff.
And then I was like, okay, andnow we have a story now
connected to this whole thing.
So I'm gonna backtrack it.
(01:29):
But when you originally saidthat I was wrapped in a blanket,
when I moved out to Long Beach,I lived with my aunt and uncle
in Huntington Beach and theywould go away on vacation and my
cousins would.
When they went away, we'd throwa party at their house and for
the most part, we love to throwthemed parties more at their
(01:49):
house, and so there was lots ofthemed parties that led to lots
of hangover moments, and I'llget to the parties, but for the
hangover moments, they alwaysended up the same the next
morning, where I was wrapped ina blanket on the couch watching
the office and this is when theoffice was actually still on TV.
(02:12):
So we were watching whatever wehad recorded, just whatever
episodes you had recorded whenyou recorded episodes on a DVR
is that what they were called?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I think so.
T-bow yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You, youngsters.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
And just sitting in your own filth in your own shit
after vomiting three or fourtimes, so that my hangover
morning always looked like that.
It was like that every time.
Now to the parties that led tothat.
It was a lot of these themedparties and the ones that I can
remember, some of thehighlighted ones where we threw
(02:49):
a prom this was probably mid-20sand we threw a prom or, like
you asked a girl to this prom,but it was just a house party.
You had a friend, dj, and wemoved all of the good furniture
into the garage so it didn't getmessed up.
All my aunt, uncle were awayhopefully they weren't listening
.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You moved out of furniture.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
We lifted up the table and the good couches and
left the party couches out, justso we could have that space.
That could be the dance floorin the dining room.
But yeah, themed parties iswhat came to mind when you said
that to me, and the first themeparty that I thought of was the
prom.
But we had everything from.
(03:30):
We had a friend that moved awayto Australia so we threw an
Australian themed party where wehad people dressed up as
fucking kangaroos.
People came as aborigines.
Car name prom.
They would be canceled now.
But like shit, like that yeah wehad all kinds of great themed
parties that led to the hangover.
And again the hangover is me ona couch, wrapped in a blanket
watching the office.
(03:51):
That's your brand, that's mybrand.
No, thank you.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
Thank you.
Is that still your go-to if youhave a hangover?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
The office on a couch in a blanket.
Yeah, after hurling and me andmy fiance we actually talking
about this the other night wherewe have different styles of
hangover, where I'm good for ifI drink enough I'll throw up,
but it's all in one session.
I get it all out in one sessionand I'm done for the day night,
(04:20):
whatever the day.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That's a fresh move.
Yeah, we're free.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
She will throw up three times over the course of a
whole day, getting it all out,but I get all my throw up done
in one setting.
That's me Smart, yeah thank you.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I foresee that this will be our most listened to.
It's deep.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
It's real.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Who's next.
I mean, I guess I can go ifnobody else wants to go.
So it's not necessarily theworst hangover I've ever had,
but it was very memorablehangover that I had,
specifically on the fact that Iliterally drank one beer.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
No, I drank one beer the night before.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And, for whatever reason, woke up with the worst
hangover I've ever had.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
That beer was 100% ABV, it was clear, and it was
vodka yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It was literally, literally, but like it was more
lorged.
And I woke up the next morning,I was 20, and my best friend,
andy, had just gotten hisapartment after high school and
he was the first one to move outand, like, of course, his
apartment turned into, likeparty central USA, hell yeah.
And so his brother-in-law was abartender at Sharky's in
(05:37):
Newport Beach and he's like, hey, let's go get some.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, that was your problem yeah.
He's like let's go get some.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yeah there's the hangover.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Keep in mind.
This story is now taking placewhile I'm hungover.
So he's like, hey, let's go getsome breakfast burritos at
Sharky's, you know.
And I'm like, whatever, I don'tknow if I can get in, I'm not
21.
He's like, dude, my brother'sthe bartender, it doesn't matter
.
So we're sitting there liketrying, I'm trying to like eat a
breakfast burrito and he keepscoming up to us with shots in a
(06:06):
in Styrofoam cups.
He's like here, I made this onefor you guys, I made this one
for you guys.
I'm just like fucking trying tochug down these shots while
miserably hungover, eatingbreakfast burrito, and I'm like
this is fucking worse.
But you did it, I did it and goout into the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
If I would got you to the hangover was one bud light.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
This is scientifically.
I don't know how that'spossible.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I believe you.
I don't know either.
It's the only time has everhappened in the story.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Did you get?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
roofie Possibly.
Ok, that could be.
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It was guilt, so first time drinking.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
So what we have on the agenda for that day was
tickets to Coachella.
This was literally.
Coachella's first year ofCoachella ever, and so my
miserable hungover ass like fromNewport Beach, throwing up in
the parking lot outside ofSharkies, got into a car and
drove all the way out to theCoachella.
(07:08):
Valley and sat through fuckingCoachella the entire day, just
miserably hungover and just.
I will never forget it.
I mean watching fucking BeastieBoys and just trying to keep my
life together while my friendsare just parting it up and me
just trying to keep everythingtogether was just the most
miserable experience of myentire life.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
But at least Frank Ocean played right.
I don't even remember.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Frank Ocean, if it's the first Coachella.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Frank.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
Ocean was like 12.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, no, I saw, I saw Weezer and I saw the Beastie
Boys.
Those are the two, two bandsthat I saw.
I know like.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
I'm probably the youngest one here, so I
shouldn't sound like I'm an oldperson or anything but like the
like, the ability.
I remember the ability to beable to do things like that,
where you're able to have ahangover and then drink shots
like after or in your hangoverand then go to Coachella or go
to an event whether it be like afucking Vegas or whatever, it
(08:09):
doesn't matter.
That was that's fucking psychoMe.
Like hearing that now or tryingto do something like that now
sounds insane, but like that wassomething that you could do
when you were like in your 20.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, you know, I'm a father now, guys.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Another human being.
He's keeping a human beingalive.
Yeah, not right now.
It's scary.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Well, he knows how to keep himself alive, so yeah,
he's here.
That's right.
Oh, he's proved himself.
That's a red passage for everyfather.
Can you keep yourself alive?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Great job.
You can have a kid.
You could be a dad now.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
All right, so I'll go next, if nobody.
Yeah, jump in there and mineencompasses every aspect of his,
his requirements.
We had friends in the valley,we're having a party and we had
we had been married, my wife andI had been married, they had
just gotten married, you know afew years and they had us over.
(09:09):
I don't remember how manypeople will just say 20 people
were there.
Sure, we're charging, can we?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
say 30?
Nobody's going to fact check.
Yeah, that's right Up to 30people.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Hold on.
Let's say there's 30 peoplethere.
We were in charge of the salad.
Make a note of the salad.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
OK, salad.
So, we brought a new bowl ofsalad.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
So we're just having drinks throughout the night,
wine and things like that.
Well, at the end of the nearthe end of the party starts
winding down.
My friend and his friend hadcreated a game in college and it
was.
It was like they call it beerlife and it was just a board
game.
So they brought out a boardgame and they had all
(09:53):
handwritten things in and diceand so everybody's playing.
So the his wife, who's beenfamiliar with the game, brought
out, she started bringing outthe beer and it was I want to
say it was Coors Light orsomething like that and she just
starts putting several CoorsLights in front of everybody
that was playing.
(10:13):
And how it would be you'd rollthe dice, you'd move your piece
and then, whatever thepunishment was, you'd have to do
shots of beer.
So you had a little shot glassand you'd say, ok, you got to do
four shots, so you do fourshots of beer.
But then there was also thepunishment.
You say, ok, well, now youassign somebody eight shots.
So like, all right, you and itcould be anybody at the table.
So people were just and this ismy first time playing and it
(10:37):
all of me.
It always seemed like the gamewas between the two guys who
created it.
The game was right.
The rules were changed.
Yeah, I was right.
You know people were targetedand the thing was so let's say I
All right, you have to do 20shots.
You could say I'm done, youwouldn't have to do them, you
could just quit the game andyou're out.
So it got down to me and theother not my friend, but his
(11:02):
friend, the other creator of thegame and I'd be damned if I was
going to lose this game becauseyou got to sign the board if
you want, so I honor.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I want that too, so I'm pushing.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
We're playing, we're playing, we're playing and
you're drinking so much beer ina short period of time my
stomach immediately filled andit gets to a point where I'm
thinking I got to throw up, notfrom sickness, just like I don't
have any capacity.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Just Just projectile.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I choose myself and as I'm walking to the bathroom,
I put my hand on my mouth and itjust shoots out from my fingers
, from the holes, andeverybody's like, oh he's done,
he's done.
So I go to the bathroom, emptymyself, come back and finish the
game.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
So like a proper man would.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So we keep going, we keep going and we must.
I mean we probably went throughover a 12 pack or more.
I'm just going to say a 12 packbecause that's what I remember
sitting, but it was probably 24.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah.
So we're almost at the end andI he lands on something and I
like, all right, you got you.
I'm going to give him 12 shotsand he's like I'm out, I win.
But then the rule is I stillhave to finish the game.
Oh, and I was Schumann.
(12:30):
Yes, I'm the only one playingat this point and I'm still
having to give myself shotsuntil the end to get to the end.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
So then, to sign your dick on the board Right at the
end.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The spot right before the finish line is.
Go back to the beginning.
Whoa, and I landed on it, oh,and I was fully prepared to run
the gauntlet again.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
This is what God has chosen for me and I am not.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I am your Marine.
I am not three.
I'm beyond three sheets at thispoint.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Four sheets.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Four, yeah, four or five sheets to the end and I'm
like I'm ready to go, I'm likeI'm finishing this game and
they're like no no, no, no,we're done, we're done, we're
done.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
You're dying, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
On the way home.
I wasn't driving, my wife wasdriving and I was, and I had the
salad bowl.
Which was empty at this pointbecause everybody ate the salad
which is beneficial for me,because I filled the salad bowl
on the way home, Ended upsleeping in our downstairs
(13:41):
bathroom all night, throwing upall night.
What was left of that, thatwasn't that I didn't put into
the salad bowl and then spentthe next I'm going to say at
least full day, if not into thesecond day sleeping on that
floor in the bathroom covered upwith the rug that was that we
(14:04):
have in there, and just kept thedoor closed and my wife would
peek in every you need somewater here and she'd slide a
glass of water in and every sixhours just left me in there and
it was even the day when Iactually felt fine to get up and
move around.
It was the worst thing.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
But you were in your cocoon and you came out a
beautiful butterfly.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
You emerged, sir.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So that is my worst hangover.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
I like that.
You did it for the love of thegame.
You know you had a goal youwanted to get signed the board.
That's what I wanted to hear.
That's fucking cool.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
That's legendary, and the fact that your wife took
care of you.
I feel like if I did that andwas barfing in my bathroom, my
wife would just lock the doorand take the children and leave
the water for like a week sheshut the water off, he'd wake up
with realtors selling yourhouse, like don't pay attention
(15:09):
to him, he doesn't come with thehouse.
Just water.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
He's not a part of this family.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Wow, very good.
Anybody else he's?
I don't know if I can outdothat.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Maybe I should have gone last.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
So I can go next.
I used to have more of asuperpower, but I don't know if
it's my Polish blood or whatever, but I don't get hangovers.
So I did not get hangovers fora while but I still knew how to
drink.
And there was one experience Iwas probably early 20s.
(15:49):
I was living in a Winnebagowith a friend of mine and our
other buddy got a house sitting,basically a mansion down in, or
was it like Del Mar, likeOrange County, and he's like
come down, we'll have a littleparty, we'll have fun.
(16:11):
So we were into cigars at thismoment Dave, you've heard this
story, I think and we got thesehuge cigars like ungodly, the
thickest cigars, sixty Ringage,sixty Ringage, it's awkward to
smoke them like very awkward, abit girthy, sucker, yeah.
And they even had like somemold which is called plume, it's
(16:33):
called plume, it's called plume, add plume on it, which is like
it's a very well-aged like kindof you know, it's a musty wine
kind of a thing.
We took those cigars down, wewent to the party and we're just
stoked to be in the housebecause we live in a Winnebago,
so it's like a shower is amazingand we get into the hot tub.
(16:53):
We don't know anybody, and westart drinking whiskey, smoking
our huge cigars in a hot tub,which for the uninitiated don't
do.
You can do one of those things.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, don't do two of those things.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
At a time and then you rest for a day and then you
can do the next thing.
But we did all three of them inthe hot tub and at some point
we're like, I don't know, I'mgonna go to bed.
Yeah, me too.
And Vernon, are you green?
Yes, I've never seen my facegreen before and it looked green
(17:30):
.
I went and our friend had givenus rooms in the mansion that he
was house sitting and so I knewwhere my bed was.
I found it.
I'm like, okay, I'm definitelyready for bed.
I lay down and I feel like Iclosed my eyes for one second.
I opened it and sat up andbarfed on myself in the bed of
(17:55):
this mansion, just sat up andjust puked on my chest and felt
like there's more to come.
So this is maybe more of a barfstory, but this is as close as a
cat.
So I go and I'm feeling throughthe dark hallways and both my
buddy, jeff, who lived in theWinnebake, with me we're both
(18:17):
filmmakers kind of starting outand stumbling through the
hallway.
I open the door and it's likeBarf all over your body, oh,
yeah, well, I think so, Iprobably.
And I opened the door to thebathroom and it's Jeff grabbing
the toilet on the ground.
My other friend is filming himjust like just laughing and I
(18:42):
didn't even ask any questions.
I just closed the door and feltanother door opened.
It felt something ceramic andbarfed in that got back into my
barf bed, went to sleep and wokeup and all the barf that was on
my bed and me was black parLike the nasty is.
(19:06):
Yeah, from like the end of itwas like the cigar or the what
are they called A bile?
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Where you're throwing on the bed Like the deep shit,
the deep dark stuff that wasyour soul.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
It was my soul.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Yeah it never been the same since.
See how it was.
And now we're going.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
That's when I started having hangovers, I'm pretty
sure you were possessed by ademon.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Yeah, I barfed down.
A demon for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Do we know what the ceramic thing was that you?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Oh yeah, I found it in the morning and it was the
laundry room, that was thelaundry sink, that.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
I barfed in, but at least it was a sink.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Yeah, it was only nailed it.
Good job.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Good job You're welcome, you could have waited
in the washer or dryer, and thatwould have been kind of bad.
But you went in the sink, whichwas good, and then we left.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
We left in our winnabagel like an hour later,
never heard from him again.
Yeah, it was a beautiful scene,but I did learn a lesson and I
didn't smoke a cigar forprobably five years after cigar
toast.
You know I love them, so youknow it's a redemptive story.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Yeah, you're back, better than ever.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Yeah sure, really, all right, I'll go.
So in my early 20, one of thethings that I liked to do after
I dropped out of college andcame back to Southern California
was hang out with my friends onsome beach Boulevard bar.
Specifically, we would go tothe Verna room Probably doesn't
(20:33):
exist anymore and cheap pool andget something called Alipay.
It's like Southern Comfort.
Very tight Feeling, hungover,just hearing yeah, it's very
cool, it's like Southern Comfortand I believe, seven up and you
like slam the shot to make it,and so we had lots of those.
(20:57):
I believe like Lakers playofftime, like in the early 2000s
lots of those, I believe.
So we were having like a greattime.
But so during that time I wasalso working as a loader for UPS
, so I my basically my job wasto load brown truck for.
(21:22):
So what I would do is just goout with my friend from go home
and like get up and work andlike fully, like not even like
really hung for at that point,just like still fully, and like
my supervisor would come in likebrewery, yeah, yeah.
(21:49):
So I would basically like do myjob, like loading the brown
truck to head off in the morningand loading work truck and I
end up like one for the, so fourtrucks, and so I run like five
(22:11):
or six packages to likedifferent trucks.
Then I run over to the trash.
Can, yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
Load more trucks Run over to the trash can.
It was a mess, but no yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
What's the life lesson?
Speaker 8 (22:32):
there Don't work for UPS.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I was hoping the truck was going to leave
somewhere.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
There was nothing coming out.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
It didn't come out of both ends, I only came out of
one end.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
I'm glad it didn't, but yeah, it was.
It was a rough time.
I think that happened on morethan one occasion, but like yeah
, one specifically stuck out inmy mind I think it was like
during the winter season, likepackages are like three times
more.
Well, it is true.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You mentioned Alabama slime.
Have you?
Is anybody familiar with acement mixer?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Oh gosh, I'm not.
Yes, those are not fun.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
That's in my second hangover.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Those are like the joke shots that you get when
they turn over.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Nobody asks for one.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
John, I don't know what that is, it's essentially
you.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Two shots, yes.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's Baileys, I believe in one, and lime juice
in the other.
Oh no, and you shoot the.
Baileys, and then you shoot thelime juice and then you swish
it and the lime juice curdlesthe cream.
So now it tastes incredible, ittastes good but it does not
(23:51):
want to go down.
But the texture is cottagecheese.
And then now you have toswallow those I'm out on this
drink.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
If anybody offers you a cement mixer.
You say no.
Like it is something that yougive to like 21 year olds that
don't know any better.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Yep, you send the words, Cardle.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I was out.
Yeah, I was in.
It's disgusting.
I'll go Just kind of.
This whole time I've beenthinking of a story which is
quite memorable, but it'sactually like my worst drinking
story, my worst being drunkstory.
I don't really remember thehangover much.
You can give the quick versionwhich is my first time drinking.
(24:37):
I drank way too much and endedup in the hospital.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
It's your first time.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Yeah, I had a nice day Party at our house.
We had a keg of Guinness.
I don't know, six, seven pintsI don't know, and a few shots of
Irish whiskey, a couple shotsof rum.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
That was your first time drinking.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I think I had had a beer or two beers, I was 21.
I mean, I was before that.
I was like proud straight edge,you know, and I was okay.
Now I live away from home.
I'm college.
I went crazy and then ended upasking my roommate to take me to
the hospital two IV bags, but Ihonestly don't remember the
(25:18):
hangover.
Oh, because you have the IV bag.
I can't believe it at that.
Real quick, was it?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
an.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
IV bag and eat, because this is a thing.
Was it a double IV bag at thesame time, or just one after the
other?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
One after you.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
What's the difference ?
Oh, I'm curious.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
If you're in dire straits, they give you two.
If you're in dire straits, theydouble bag you at the same time
.
So I was just curious.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I don't know, but I do remember the nurse asking I
may have been hitting on herSmart.
I remember her asking what shewas doing Like what.
So what are you doing After yousaved my life, After you?
Speaker 6 (25:52):
clean up my view.
No, her asking, not me.
You're back there.
So what's going on?
You know the standard question.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
So what's?
Speaker 6 (25:58):
why are you here?
What's going?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
on.
What's the matter?
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I think my response was I threw up and I threw up.
I think my response was I threwup.
And since childhood I've alwayshad like this reflex where once
I threw up, I just keepthrowing.
If you can just give me a shotand get me out of here and my
roommate's standing next to melike elbowing me or what you
drank?
Tell her what you drank, andthen they anyway.
(26:27):
This was not the hangover story, so I can stop now or I can
tell the alternate.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Oh, it's like an anti-hangover.
Like you were saved by a lawyer, I was saved by the hospital.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yeah, I want to know if you got that day.
Did you get that day?
Not that I recall.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
No, wow, not as I recall.
Yeah, wow, lawyerly answer yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
He is a lawyer.
Strong tricks of words yeah,didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I did not have sexual issues.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
It depends on what the meaning of is is.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
David, alex, dave, you're me.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
I honestly I don't have a good one and it's not
worth like.
I just have bad hangoverstories, but none of them are
bangers, so I don't want towaste anyone's time with mine.
But you have been hungover.
Oh incredibly, yeah, incredibly.
But, like, none of them aregood stories.
It's just, you know, likeyou're hungover.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
What's the best place you've been hungover.
How about that?
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Right, so I'll give you the one that stands out and
it's not like necessarily bestplace, but my worst hangover was
I did a Costco.
I got my own apartment back in2012 and I was really proud.
My goal was to be like aparents' apartment, like that
has all the shit.
You know how you go like to aparents' house and they've got
like frozen stuff that you couldjust heat up and you're just
(27:51):
like wow, I just again they'vegot your, they've got your free
suns, they've got everything.
So, like I like, stocked thehouse because I like when my
friends come over, I want themto be able to eat and drink and
have whatever they want, becauseI lived with roommates and
there was never anything.
It was Soviet Union in everycountry.
So I like stocked up the houseand, of course, like I was like,
(28:12):
oh, there's a.
I was at Costco.
I was like, oh, there, you know, I'll get the handle of bullet.
And I was like, oh, they hadjust come out with bullet rye.
It was like new.
So I was like I bought thehandle of bullet rye, I brought
it home and so you were richback then.
I was rich, I, just I wasn'trich but I stocked up the place
and I had bullet rye and I hadlike a couple glasses of bullet
rye, which is not good whiskeyfor the record, but bullets fine
(28:36):
for a mix.
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
And it is what it is.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
No, I like it.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
But like bullet rye, like rocks, is not necessarily
what it's built for.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
It's not what it's built for.
It's a cocktail.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
How old were you at the time?
Speaker 7 (28:50):
Not that young, like 26, 27, something like that, and
still 26,.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
you know you're okay with it, but I'm not wearing
shit up, so I have a couple andyou stopped having gushers in
the cupboard.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
Yeah, yeah.
So I had a couple glasses ofwhiskey and then my now wife,
then girlfriend came over.
Hey.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Jody.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Yeah, she came over and we're hanging out watching a
movie or whatever, and she justwas like in a more hospitable
mood than normal and she's likedo you want another drink?
And I was like sure, and so shewould just go in.
We're watching a movie, lightsare off, and she would bring me
a glass of whiskey and I wouldjust drink it.
And then, sorry, do youremember what movie I don't
remember, okay, and the weapon.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
I wish it was like a tight story like present Well to
me Coming to America.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
So she just kind of threw out the night like kept
bringing me glasses of whiskeyand I had no real concept of you
know, lights off watching amovie, I just kept drinking
whiskey, you know.
It was fine.
And then she left.
We didn't live together.
She left and went home at theend of the night and I went to
bed and I woke up the nextmorning and I was like I'm not
hungover, I'm dying, Like I'mnot, yeah.
And so I was like I'm going togo for a walk to the ocean
(29:57):
because I lived, you know, likethree blocks from the ocean and
I like go for a walk to theocean where you were going to go
to die.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Yeah, to die, and I'm going to go and I just like
randomly I'm like oh boy, hereit comes.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
And I just like I'm walking and I'm like thinking
walking will help.
It doesn't help, and I justlike Ralph, like on the side of
the street, like like great, youknow.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
so I, I'm not in the sand on the beach.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
No, I didn't, I don't , I do.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
You were a respectable hobo, yeah, or
somewhere off the side of the Ithink I've rallied and made it
to the beach.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
But yeah, I ended up like so and like my hangover
wasn't, it wasn't improving, itwas not good.
Like I told you, the storyisn't good and so I.
I could not shake the hangover.
So I eventually was like I feellike I'm actually dying, like
no matter what I drink, I can'thydrate.
So I was like I'm going to,like I had health insurance.
I was like I'm just going to goto the urgent care and get an
(30:50):
IV, like and get some hydrationin me.
So I get to the urgent care andthey're like oh, there's a
supply chain shortage, so wedon't have IV bags.

There's nothing to do with this.
My wedding.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
We did a DIY wedding in Chicago.
We drove from LA all the way toChicago with a full wedding in
our SUV and we were exhaustedaside from work and just doing
the whole DIY wedding andgetting everything set up and
everything just stacked boom,boom, boom, boom, boom up to the
wedding day.
Well, we had a rehearsal nightand then that night everyone
(34:21):
wanted to take me out, all theguys, so we went out.
We started at three dots in adash, which is basically the
bamboo club here, the Tikilounge.
So just sugary Tiki drinks justfor the first hour Sounds
lovely.
And then just shots of tequilaand everything.
I had been up.
We drove from LA to Chicago inlike almost record time.
(34:42):
I had no sleep, I drovestraight through, so I was just
out of it at that point and justdrinking heavily like that
After the Tiki room is whereeverything starts to go fuzzy.
Everything starts to go fuzzy.
We ended up in a place calledthe Electric Hotel, which is a
(35:03):
nightclub.
They my brother got like mybrother got like table service
and there was one of thosestupid giant bottles of gray
goose like the sparkler on topthat whole thing.
Not my vibe, but I justremember just getting fed and I
don't remember much after that.
(35:23):
I remember getting up trying tofind one of my brothers at the
bar and I had these really cool,what I thought was cool, like
suede shoes.
And I was walking through andI'm a very patient guy, but
there's just those little thingsthat get me.
And I remember walking throughthe nightclub trying to find my
(35:44):
brothers and this giant Russianguy, and at this point lights
are out.
This giant Russian guy steppedon my foot and I fucking clocked
him out, clocked him, knockedhim out, his whole, the whole
Soviet Union came.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
So you this is nuts Currently.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
this is why we're on this Soviet Union.
Who knew himself, right or?
Speaker 7 (36:13):
left and did he black out immediately?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
I think it was.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Putin.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Well, I think.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
From what it was told it was one shot, one kill.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Anything you were playing.
I knocked him out and one hit.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
I don't remember any of it.
And then they fucking justpummeled me.
And then my brother, mybrother-in-law came with a
look-very goose.
It just started dumping it onthe Russians.
My brother's got involved.
I got dragged out.
There's a photo of me beingpropped up against like a note
parking sign.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Weekend of Brings.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Yeah, yes, covered in blommet and bruises.
The next day was not thewedding, but Thank God, I woke
up.
I woke up in Airbnb With a knoton the back of my head and I
was told that my brothers andfriends couldn't carry me up the
stairs to the to the secondstory of what we're saying and
(37:09):
my head slammed in the door.
So I had a huge knot in theback of my head.
I woke up instantly.
Everything out Throughout.
I had the shakes all day.
My soon to be wife wanted me togo pick up the wedding dress
and deliver it to like where shewas at with her parents getting
ready for the wedding day.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
My brother-in-law was there.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
That's the material right there.
So I went, yeah, I went.
I took an Uber to go get thewedding dress delivered it.
I told my brother to comeoutside to the Uber, handed him
a random sighted building and Ifucking graffitied the whole
building.
I was like projectile vomit,just shaking, like shaking.
(37:53):
And my wife's parents are very,very, very religious people that
don't drink and I was shellshocked to go into that house to
be around them that day.
And my father-in-law looked atme and he goes oh, you got
rocked.
And I had never heard thisChristian man say these words,
(38:15):
the word rocked.
And every half an hour I wouldsay I had to go to the bathroom
but I'd go out the front door tothe side of the building to my
same spot.
And just, they know, you werethere.
This poor neighbor who hadlived next to this Airbnb just
got her flower bed, just likejust littered.
Her flower bed got rocked.
(38:37):
And if you look at my weddingphotos, I have a giant knot on
the side of my head, I have abruise under my eye and that's
my that's my story.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
You're gonna see graffiti on the side of your
in-laws house and yourfather-in-laws outside the
window and I was like hey, alex,I should have gone to the house
walk Because I clearly hadalcohol poisoning from shaking
that violently.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
So wow, Besides the violence that you put out, and
I've done a lot of stupid shitin college to get to that point
too, but that was the last.
It's never again.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
This is the last time you took on the Soviet Union.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Yeah, so thank you for your service.
Yeah, it's a great story.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
By the way, yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Was it during?
Speaker 6 (39:18):
winter time, because, yeah, you're not supposed to
invade Russia during winter?
Speaker 1 (39:21):
is that yeah?
Speaker 6 (39:23):
Yeah, I didn't know that we had an American hero in
our club Totally.

Cheers, gentlemen.
Yeah, great stories all around.

Speaker 6 (39:46):
Don't do any of those things To our sons and
daughters.
Cheers.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
I mean really, the only lesson I learned was don't
drink.
Speaker 8 (39:55):
Right, don't do exactly what we're doing right
now.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Or if you do get an IV, that's not how we're aware,
but do that Get an IV service?
I think is the lesson For farmdrill Uber Eats yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Uber, eats, yeah, uber.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Eats, that's a bear.
Oh, right there, that's gotsome legs, you got it.
This is Gentlemen of the World, and I have a sidebar
question for you.
My name is Evan.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
John.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Andrew Dave.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Vern Justin.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Dave, alex.
So, gentlemen, tell me thestory of the worst hangover
you've ever had.
Wow.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Very well Ugh.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
Hmm.
And what are.
Can you just give us someparameters Like does this
include the drinking aspect ofit, or is it just the feeling
afterwards, or is it kind?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
of whatever you want to be.
Lay the story out for me.
What happened before after?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
How much time do we have?
Speaker 6 (00:46):
So I'll start.
When Evan asked me, or hebrought up this, we were talking
in the car on the way here, andwhen he, when we started
talking through it, a visioncame in of my head of the
hangover itself, like the moment, but it was linked to lots of
moments, but it was more like aperiod in time.
(01:08):
Everything honed in on a periodof time and I felt myself like
the.
My mind started painting thepicture of this is where you are
now, this is where you'relaying on the couch, this is the
blanket wrapped around you andlike all that stuff.
And then I was like, okay, andnow we have a story now
connected to this whole thing.
So I'm gonna backtrack it.
(01:29):
But when you originally saidthat I was wrapped in a blanket,
when I moved out to Long Beach,I lived with my aunt and uncle
in Huntington Beach and theywould go away on vacation and my
cousins would.
When they went away, we'd throwa party at their house and for
the most part, we love to throwthemed parties more at their
(01:49):
house, and so there was lots ofthemed parties that led to lots
of hangover moments, and I'llget to the parties, but for the
hangover moments, they alwaysended up the same the next
morning, where I was wrapped ina blanket on the couch watching
the office and this is when theoffice was actually still on TV.
(02:12):
So we were watching whatever wehad recorded, just whatever
episodes you had recorded whenyou recorded episodes on a DVR
is that what they were called?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I think so.
T-bow yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You, youngsters.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
And just sitting in your own filth in your own shit
after vomiting three or fourtimes, so that my hangover
morning always looked like that.
It was like that every time.
Now to the parties that led tothat.
It was a lot of these themedparties and the ones that I can
remember, some of thehighlighted ones where we threw
(02:49):
a prom this was probably mid-20sand we threw a prom or, like
you asked a girl to this prom,but it was just a house party.
You had a friend, dj, and wemoved all of the good furniture
into the garage so it didn't getmessed up.
All my aunt, uncle were awayhopefully they weren't listening
.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You moved out of furniture.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
We lifted up the table and the good couches and
left the party couches out, justso we could have that space.
That could be the dance floorin the dining room.
But yeah, themed parties iswhat came to mind when you said
that to me, and the first themeparty that I thought of was the
prom.
But we had everything from.
(03:30):
We had a friend that moved awayto Australia so we threw an
Australian themed party where wehad people dressed up as
fucking kangaroos.
People came as aborigines.
Car name prom.
They would be canceled now.
But like shit, like that yeah wehad all kinds of great themed
parties that led to the hangover.
And again the hangover is me ona couch, wrapped in a blanket
watching the office.
(03:51):
That's your brand, that's mybrand.
No, thank you.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
Thank you.
Is that still your go-to if youhave a hangover?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
The office on a couch in a blanket.
Yeah, after hurling and me andmy fiance we actually talking
about this the other night wherewe have different styles of
hangover, where I'm good for ifI drink enough I'll throw up,
but it's all in one session.
I get it all out in one sessionand I'm done for the day night,
(04:20):
whatever the day.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That's a fresh move.
Yeah, we're free.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
She will throw up three times over the course of a
whole day, getting it all out,but I get all my throw up done
in one setting.
That's me Smart, yeah thank you.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I foresee that this will be our most listened to.
It's deep.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
It's real.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Who's next.
I mean, I guess I can go ifnobody else wants to go.
So it's not necessarily theworst hangover I've ever had,
but it was very memorablehangover that I had,
specifically on the fact that Iliterally drank one beer.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
No, I drank one beer the night before.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And, for whatever reason, woke up with the worst
hangover I've ever had.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
That beer was 100% ABV, it was clear, and it was
vodka yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It was literally, literally, but like it was more
lorged.
And I woke up the next morning,I was 20, and my best friend,
andy, had just gotten hisapartment after high school and
he was the first one to move outand, like, of course, his
apartment turned into, likeparty central USA, hell yeah.
And so his brother-in-law was abartender at Sharky's in
(05:37):
Newport Beach and he's like, hey, let's go get some.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, that was your problem yeah.
He's like let's go get some.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yeah there's the hangover.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Keep in mind.
This story is now taking placewhile I'm hungover.
So he's like, hey, let's go getsome breakfast burritos at
Sharky's, you know.
And I'm like, whatever, I don'tknow if I can get in, I'm not
21.
He's like, dude, my brother'sthe bartender, it doesn't matter
.
So we're sitting there liketrying, I'm trying to like eat a
breakfast burrito and he keepscoming up to us with shots in a
(06:06):
in Styrofoam cups.
He's like here, I made this onefor you guys, I made this one
for you guys.
I'm just like fucking trying tochug down these shots while
miserably hungover, eatingbreakfast burrito, and I'm like
this is fucking worse.
But you did it, I did it and goout into the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
If I would got you to the hangover was one bud light.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
This is scientifically.
I don't know how that'spossible.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I believe you.
I don't know either.
It's the only time has everhappened in the story.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Did you get?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
roofie Possibly.
Ok, that could be.
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It was guilt, so first time drinking.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
So what we have on the agenda for that day was
tickets to Coachella.
This was literally.
Coachella's first year ofCoachella ever, and so my
miserable hungover ass like fromNewport Beach, throwing up in
the parking lot outside ofSharkies, got into a car and
drove all the way out to theCoachella.
(07:08):
Valley and sat through fuckingCoachella the entire day, just
miserably hungover and just.
I will never forget it.
I mean watching fucking BeastieBoys and just trying to keep my
life together while my friendsare just parting it up and me
just trying to keep everythingtogether was just the most
miserable experience of myentire life.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
But at least Frank Ocean played right.
I don't even remember.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Frank Ocean, if it's the first Coachella.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Frank.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
Ocean was like 12.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, no, I saw, I saw Weezer and I saw the Beastie
Boys.
Those are the two, two bandsthat I saw.
I know like.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
I'm probably the youngest one here, so I
shouldn't sound like I'm an oldperson or anything but like the
like, the ability.
I remember the ability to beable to do things like that,
where you're able to have ahangover and then drink shots
like after or in your hangoverand then go to Coachella or go
to an event whether it be like afucking Vegas or whatever, it
(08:09):
doesn't matter.
That was that's fucking psychoMe.
Like hearing that now or tryingto do something like that now
sounds insane, but like that wassomething that you could do
when you were like in your 20.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, you know, I'm a father now, guys.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Another human being.
He's keeping a human beingalive.
Yeah, not right now.
It's scary.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Well, he knows how to keep himself alive, so yeah,
he's here.
That's right.
Oh, he's proved himself.
That's a red passage for everyfather.
Can you keep yourself alive?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Great job.
You can have a kid.
You could be a dad now.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
All right, so I'll go next, if nobody.
Yeah, jump in there and mineencompasses every aspect of his,
his requirements.
We had friends in the valley,we're having a party and we had
we had been married, my wife andI had been married, they had
just gotten married, you know afew years and they had us over.
(09:09):
I don't remember how manypeople will just say 20 people
were there.
Sure, we're charging, can we?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
say 30?
Nobody's going to fact check.
Yeah, that's right Up to 30people.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Hold on.
Let's say there's 30 peoplethere.
We were in charge of the salad.
Make a note of the salad.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
OK, salad.
So, we brought a new bowl ofsalad.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
So we're just having drinks throughout the night,
wine and things like that.
Well, at the end of the nearthe end of the party starts
winding down.
My friend and his friend hadcreated a game in college and it
was.
It was like they call it beerlife and it was just a board
game.
So they brought out a boardgame and they had all
(09:53):
handwritten things in and diceand so everybody's playing.
So the his wife, who's beenfamiliar with the game, brought
out, she started bringing outthe beer and it was I want to
say it was Coors Light orsomething like that and she just
starts putting several CoorsLights in front of everybody
that was playing.
(10:13):
And how it would be you'd rollthe dice, you'd move your piece
and then, whatever thepunishment was, you'd have to do
shots of beer.
So you had a little shot glassand you'd say, ok, you got to do
four shots, so you do fourshots of beer.
But then there was also thepunishment.
You say, ok, well, now youassign somebody eight shots.
So like, all right, you and itcould be anybody at the table.
So people were just and this ismy first time playing and it
(10:37):
all of me.
It always seemed like the gamewas between the two guys who
created it.
The game was right.
The rules were changed.
Yeah, I was right.
You know people were targetedand the thing was so let's say I
All right, you have to do 20shots.
You could say I'm done, youwouldn't have to do them, you
could just quit the game andyou're out.
So it got down to me and theother not my friend, but his
(11:02):
friend, the other creator of thegame and I'd be damned if I was
going to lose this game becauseyou got to sign the board if
you want, so I honor.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I want that too, so I'm pushing.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
We're playing, we're playing, we're playing and
you're drinking so much beer ina short period of time my
stomach immediately filled andit gets to a point where I'm
thinking I got to throw up, notfrom sickness, just like I don't
have any capacity.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Just Just projectile.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I choose myself and as I'm walking to the bathroom,
I put my hand on my mouth and itjust shoots out from my fingers
, from the holes, andeverybody's like, oh he's done,
he's done.
So I go to the bathroom, emptymyself, come back and finish the
game.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
So like a proper man would.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So we keep going, we keep going and we must.
I mean we probably went throughover a 12 pack or more.
I'm just going to say a 12 packbecause that's what I remember
sitting, but it was probably 24.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah.
So we're almost at the end andI he lands on something and I
like, all right, you got you.
I'm going to give him 12 shotsand he's like I'm out, I win.
But then the rule is I stillhave to finish the game.
Oh, and I was Schumann.
(12:30):
Yes, I'm the only one playingat this point and I'm still
having to give myself shotsuntil the end to get to the end.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
So then, to sign your dick on the board Right at the
end.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The spot right before the finish line is.
Go back to the beginning.
Whoa, and I landed on it, oh,and I was fully prepared to run
the gauntlet again.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
This is what God has chosen for me and I am not.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I am your Marine.
I am not three.
I'm beyond three sheets at thispoint.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Four sheets.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Four, yeah, four or five sheets to the end and I'm
like I'm ready to go, I'm likeI'm finishing this game and
they're like no no, no, no,we're done, we're done, we're
done.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
You're dying, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
On the way home.
I wasn't driving, my wife wasdriving and I was, and I had the
salad bowl.
Which was empty at this pointbecause everybody ate the salad
which is beneficial for me,because I filled the salad bowl
on the way home, Ended upsleeping in our downstairs
(13:41):
bathroom all night, throwing upall night.
What was left of that, thatwasn't that I didn't put into
the salad bowl and then spentthe next I'm going to say at
least full day, if not into thesecond day sleeping on that
floor in the bathroom covered upwith the rug that was that we
(14:04):
have in there, and just kept thedoor closed and my wife would
peek in every you need somewater here and she'd slide a
glass of water in and every sixhours just left me in there and
it was even the day when Iactually felt fine to get up and
move around.
It was the worst thing.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
But you were in your cocoon and you came out a
beautiful butterfly.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
You emerged, sir.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So that is my worst hangover.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
I like that.
You did it for the love of thegame.
You know you had a goal youwanted to get signed the board.
That's what I wanted to hear.
That's fucking cool.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
That's legendary, and the fact that your wife took
care of you.
I feel like if I did that andwas barfing in my bathroom, my
wife would just lock the doorand take the children and leave
the water for like a week sheshut the water off, he'd wake up
with realtors selling yourhouse, like don't pay attention
(15:09):
to him, he doesn't come with thehouse.
Just water.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
He's not a part of this family.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Wow, very good.
Anybody else he's?
I don't know if I can outdothat.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Maybe I should have gone last.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
So I can go next.
I used to have more of asuperpower, but I don't know if
it's my Polish blood or whatever, but I don't get hangovers.
So I did not get hangovers fora while but I still knew how to
drink.
And there was one experience Iwas probably early 20s.
(15:49):
I was living in a Winnebagowith a friend of mine and our
other buddy got a house sitting,basically a mansion down in, or
was it like Del Mar, likeOrange County, and he's like
come down, we'll have a littleparty, we'll have fun.
(16:11):
So we were into cigars at thismoment Dave, you've heard this
story, I think and we got thesehuge cigars like ungodly, the
thickest cigars, sixty Ringage,sixty Ringage, it's awkward to
smoke them like very awkward, abit girthy, sucker, yeah.
And they even had like somemold which is called plume, it's
(16:33):
called plume, it's called plume, add plume on it, which is like
it's a very well-aged like kindof you know, it's a musty wine
kind of a thing.
We took those cigars down, wewent to the party and we're just
stoked to be in the housebecause we live in a Winnebago,
so it's like a shower is amazingand we get into the hot tub.
(16:53):
We don't know anybody, and westart drinking whiskey, smoking
our huge cigars in a hot tub,which for the uninitiated don't
do.
You can do one of those things.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, don't do two of those things.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
At a time and then you rest for a day and then you
can do the next thing.
But we did all three of them inthe hot tub and at some point
we're like, I don't know, I'mgonna go to bed.
Yeah, me too.
And Vernon, are you green?
Yes, I've never seen my facegreen before and it looked green
(17:30):
.
I went and our friend had givenus rooms in the mansion that he
was house sitting and so I knewwhere my bed was.
I found it.
I'm like, okay, I'm definitelyready for bed.
I lay down and I feel like Iclosed my eyes for one second.
I opened it and sat up andbarfed on myself in the bed of
(17:55):
this mansion, just sat up andjust puked on my chest and felt
like there's more to come.
So this is maybe more of a barfstory, but this is as close as a
cat.
So I go and I'm feeling throughthe dark hallways and both my
buddy, jeff, who lived in theWinnebake, with me we're both
(18:17):
filmmakers kind of starting outand stumbling through the
hallway.
I open the door and it's likeBarf all over your body, oh,
yeah, well, I think so, Iprobably.
And I opened the door to thebathroom and it's Jeff grabbing
the toilet on the ground.
My other friend is filming himjust like just laughing and I
(18:42):
didn't even ask any questions.
I just closed the door and feltanother door opened.
It felt something ceramic andbarfed in that got back into my
barf bed, went to sleep and wokeup and all the barf that was on
my bed and me was black parLike the nasty is.
(19:06):
Yeah, from like the end of itwas like the cigar or the what
are they called A bile?
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Where you're throwing on the bed Like the deep shit,
the deep dark stuff that wasyour soul.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
It was my soul.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Yeah it never been the same since.
See how it was.
And now we're going.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
That's when I started having hangovers, I'm pretty
sure you were possessed by ademon.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Yeah, I barfed down.
A demon for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Do we know what the ceramic thing was that you?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Oh yeah, I found it in the morning and it was the
laundry room, that was thelaundry sink, that.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
I barfed in, but at least it was a sink.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Yeah, it was only nailed it.
Good job.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Good job You're welcome, you could have waited
in the washer or dryer, and thatwould have been kind of bad.
But you went in the sink, whichwas good, and then we left.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
We left in our winnabagel like an hour later,
never heard from him again.
Yeah, it was a beautiful scene,but I did learn a lesson and I
didn't smoke a cigar forprobably five years after cigar
toast.
You know I love them, so youknow it's a redemptive story.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Yeah, you're back, better than ever.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Yeah sure, really, all right, I'll go.
So in my early 20, one of thethings that I liked to do after
I dropped out of college andcame back to Southern California
was hang out with my friends onsome beach Boulevard bar.
Specifically, we would go tothe Verna room Probably doesn't
(20:33):
exist anymore and cheap pool andget something called Alipay.
It's like Southern Comfort.
Very tight Feeling, hungover,just hearing yeah, it's very
cool, it's like Southern Comfortand I believe, seven up and you
like slam the shot to make it,and so we had lots of those.
(20:57):
I believe like Lakers playofftime, like in the early 2000s
lots of those, I believe.
So we were having like a greattime.
But so during that time I wasalso working as a loader for UPS
, so I my basically my job wasto load brown truck for.
(21:22):
So what I would do is just goout with my friend from go home
and like get up and work andlike fully, like not even like
really hung for at that point,just like still fully, and like
my supervisor would come in likebrewery, yeah, yeah.
(21:49):
So I would basically like do myjob, like loading the brown
truck to head off in the morningand loading work truck and I
end up like one for the, so fourtrucks, and so I run like five
(22:11):
or six packages to likedifferent trucks.
Then I run over to the trash.
Can, yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
Load more trucks Run over to the trash can.
It was a mess, but no yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
What's the life lesson?
Speaker 8 (22:32):
there Don't work for UPS.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I was hoping the truck was going to leave
somewhere.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
There was nothing coming out.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
It didn't come out of both ends, I only came out of
one end.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
I'm glad it didn't, but yeah, it was.
It was a rough time.
I think that happened on morethan one occasion, but like yeah
, one specifically stuck out inmy mind I think it was like
during the winter season, likepackages are like three times
more.
Well, it is true.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You mentioned Alabama slime.
Have you?
Is anybody familiar with acement mixer?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Oh gosh, I'm not.
Yes, those are not fun.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
That's in my second hangover.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Those are like the joke shots that you get when
they turn over.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Nobody asks for one.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
John, I don't know what that is, it's essentially
you.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Two shots, yes.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's Baileys, I believe in one, and lime juice
in the other.
Oh no, and you shoot the.
Baileys, and then you shoot thelime juice and then you swish
it and the lime juice curdlesthe cream.
So now it tastes incredible, ittastes good but it does not
(23:51):
want to go down.
But the texture is cottagecheese.
And then now you have toswallow those I'm out on this
drink.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
If anybody offers you a cement mixer.
You say no.
Like it is something that yougive to like 21 year olds that
don't know any better.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Yep, you send the words, Cardle.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I was out.
Yeah, I was in.
It's disgusting.
I'll go Just kind of.
This whole time I've beenthinking of a story which is
quite memorable, but it'sactually like my worst drinking
story, my worst being drunkstory.
I don't really remember thehangover much.
You can give the quick versionwhich is my first time drinking.
(24:37):
I drank way too much and endedup in the hospital.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
It's your first time.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Yeah, I had a nice day Party at our house.
We had a keg of Guinness.
I don't know, six, seven pintsI don't know, and a few shots of
Irish whiskey, a couple shotsof rum.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
That was your first time drinking.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I think I had had a beer or two beers, I was 21.
I mean, I was before that.
I was like proud straight edge,you know, and I was okay.
Now I live away from home.
I'm college.
I went crazy and then ended upasking my roommate to take me to
the hospital two IV bags, but Ihonestly don't remember the
(25:18):
hangover.
Oh, because you have the IV bag.
I can't believe it at that.
Real quick, was it?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
an.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
IV bag and eat, because this is a thing.
Was it a double IV bag at thesame time, or just one after the
other?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
One after you.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
What's the difference ?
Oh, I'm curious.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
If you're in dire straits, they give you two.
If you're in dire straits, theydouble bag you at the same time
.
So I was just curious.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I don't know, but I do remember the nurse asking I
may have been hitting on herSmart.
I remember her asking what shewas doing Like what.
So what are you doing After yousaved my life, After you?
Speaker 6 (25:52):
clean up my view.
No, her asking, not me.
You're back there.
So what's going on?
You know the standard question.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
So what's?
Speaker 6 (25:58):
why are you here?
What's going?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
on.
What's the matter?
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I think my response was I threw up and I threw up.
I think my response was I threwup.
And since childhood I've alwayshad like this reflex where once
I threw up, I just keepthrowing.
If you can just give me a shotand get me out of here and my
roommate's standing next to melike elbowing me or what you
drank?
Tell her what you drank, andthen they anyway.
(26:27):
This was not the hangover story, so I can stop now or I can
tell the alternate.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Oh, it's like an anti-hangover.
Like you were saved by a lawyer, I was saved by the hospital.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yeah, I want to know if you got that day.
Did you get that day?
Not that I recall.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
No, wow, not as I recall.
Yeah, wow, lawyerly answer yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
He is a lawyer.
Strong tricks of words yeah,didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I did not have sexual issues.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
It depends on what the meaning of is is.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
David, alex, dave, you're me.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
I honestly I don't have a good one and it's not
worth like.
I just have bad hangoverstories, but none of them are
bangers, so I don't want towaste anyone's time with mine.
But you have been hungover.
Oh incredibly, yeah, incredibly.
But, like, none of them aregood stories.
It's just, you know, likeyou're hungover.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
What's the best place you've been hungover.
How about that?
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Right, so I'll give you the one that stands out and
it's not like necessarily bestplace, but my worst hangover was
I did a Costco.
I got my own apartment back in2012 and I was really proud.
My goal was to be like aparents' apartment, like that
has all the shit.
You know how you go like to aparents' house and they've got
like frozen stuff that you couldjust heat up and you're just
(27:51):
like wow, I just again they'vegot your, they've got your free
suns, they've got everything.
So, like I like, stocked thehouse because I like when my
friends come over, I want themto be able to eat and drink and
have whatever they want, becauseI lived with roommates and
there was never anything.
It was Soviet Union in everycountry.
So I like stocked up the houseand, of course, like I was like,
(28:12):
oh, there's a.
I was at Costco.
I was like, oh, there, you know, I'll get the handle of bullet.
And I was like, oh, they hadjust come out with bullet rye.
It was like new.
So I was like I bought thehandle of bullet rye, I brought
it home and so you were richback then.
I was rich, I, just I wasn'trich but I stocked up the place
and I had bullet rye and I hadlike a couple glasses of bullet
rye, which is not good whiskeyfor the record, but bullets fine
(28:36):
for a mix.
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
And it is what it is.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
No, I like it.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
But like bullet rye, like rocks, is not necessarily
what it's built for.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
It's not what it's built for.
It's a cocktail.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
How old were you at the time?
Speaker 7 (28:50):
Not that young, like 26, 27, something like that, and
still 26,.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
you know you're okay with it, but I'm not wearing
shit up, so I have a couple andyou stopped having gushers in
the cupboard.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
Yeah, yeah.
So I had a couple glasses ofwhiskey and then my now wife,
then girlfriend came over.
Hey.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Jody.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Yeah, she came over and we're hanging out watching a
movie or whatever, and she justwas like in a more hospitable
mood than normal and she's likedo you want another drink?
And I was like sure, and so shewould just go in.
We're watching a movie, lightsare off, and she would bring me
a glass of whiskey and I wouldjust drink it.
And then, sorry, do youremember what movie I don't
remember, okay, and the weapon.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
I wish it was like a tight story like present Well to
me Coming to America.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
So she just kind of threw out the night like kept
bringing me glasses of whiskeyand I had no real concept of you
know, lights off watching amovie, I just kept drinking
whiskey, you know.
It was fine.
And then she left.
We didn't live together.
She left and went home at theend of the night and I went to
bed and I woke up the nextmorning and I was like I'm not
hungover, I'm dying, Like I'mnot, yeah.
And so I was like I'm going togo for a walk to the ocean
(29:57):
because I lived, you know, likethree blocks from the ocean and
I like go for a walk to theocean where you were going to go
to die.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Yeah, to die, and I'm going to go and I just like
randomly I'm like oh boy, hereit comes.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
And I just like I'm walking and I'm like thinking
walking will help.
It doesn't help, and I justlike Ralph, like on the side of
the street, like like great, youknow.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
so I, I'm not in the sand on the beach.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
No, I didn't, I don't , I do.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
You were a respectable hobo, yeah, or
somewhere off the side of the Ithink I've rallied and made it
to the beach.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
But yeah, I ended up like so and like my hangover
wasn't, it wasn't improving, itwas not good.
Like I told you, the storyisn't good and so I.
I could not shake the hangover.
So I eventually was like I feellike I'm actually dying, like
no matter what I drink, I can'thydrate.
So I was like I'm going to,like I had health insurance.
I was like I'm just going to goto the urgent care and get an
(30:50):
IV, like and get some hydrationin me.
So I get to the urgent care andthey're like oh, there's a
supply chain shortage, so wedon't have IV bags.
And I was like but like I'mgoing to die.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
This is pre pandemic.
Speaker 7 (31:05):

We drove from LA all the way toChicago with a full wedding in
our SUV and we were exhaustedaside from work and just doing
the whole DIY wedding andgetting everything set up and
everything just stacked boom,boom, boom, boom, boom up to the
wedding day.
Well, we had a rehearsal nightand then that night everyone
(34:21):
wanted to take me out, all theguys, so we went out.
We started at three dots in adash, which is basically the
bamboo club here, the Tikilounge.
So just sugary Tiki drinks justfor the first hour Sounds
lovely.
And then just shots of tequilaand everything.
I had been up.
We drove from LA to Chicago inlike almost record time.
(34:42):
I had no sleep, I drovestraight through, so I was just
out of it at that point and justdrinking heavily like that
After the Tiki room is whereeverything starts to go fuzzy.
Everything starts to go fuzzy.
We ended up in a place calledthe Electric Hotel, which is a
(35:03):
nightclub.
They my brother got like mybrother got like table service
and there was one of thosestupid giant bottles of gray
goose like the sparkler on topthat whole thing.
Not my vibe, but I justremember just getting fed and I
don't remember much after that.
(35:23):
I remember getting up trying tofind one of my brothers at the
bar and I had these really cool,what I thought was cool, like
suede shoes.
And I was walking through andI'm a very patient guy, but
there's just those little thingsthat get me.
And I remember walking throughthe nightclub trying to find my
(35:44):
brothers and this giant Russianguy, and at this point lights
are out.
This giant Russian guy steppedon my foot and I fucking clocked
him out, clocked him, knockedhim out, his whole, the whole
Soviet Union came.

And then they fucking justpummeled me.
And then my brother, mybrother-in-law came with a
look-very goose.
It just started dumping it onthe Russians.
My brother's got involved.
I got dragged out.
There's a photo of me beingpropped up against like a note
parking sign.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Weekend of Brings.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Yeah, yes, covered in blommet and bruises.
The next day was not thewedding, but Thank God, I woke
up.
I woke up in Airbnb With a knoton the back of my head and I
was told that my brothers andfriends couldn't carry me up the
stairs to the to the secondstory of what we're saying and
(37:09):
my head slammed in the door.
So I had a huge knot in theback of my head.
I woke up instantly.
Everything out Throughout.
I had the shakes all day.
My soon to be wife wanted me togo pick up the wedding dress
and deliver it to like where shewas at with her parents getting
ready for the wedding day.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
My brother-in-law was there.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
That's the material right there.
So I went, yeah, I went.
I took an Uber to go get thewedding dress delivered it.
I told my brother to comeoutside to the Uber, handed him
a random sighted building and Ifucking graffitied the whole
building.
I was like projectile vomit,just shaking, like shaking.
(37:53):
And my wife's parents are very,very, very religious people that
don't drink and I was shellshocked to go into that house to
be around them that day.
And my father-in-law looked atme and he goes oh, you got
rocked.
And I had never heard thisChristian man say these words,
(38:15):
the word rocked.
And every half an hour I wouldsay I had to go to the bathroom
but I'd go out the front door tothe side of the building to my
same spot.
And just, they know, you werethere.
This poor neighbor who hadlived next to this Airbnb just
got her flower bed, just likejust littered.
Her flower bed got rocked.
(38:37):
And if you look at my weddingphotos, I have a giant knot on
the side of my head, I have abruise under my eye and that's
my that's my story.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
You're gonna see graffiti on the side of your
in-laws house and yourfather-in-laws outside the
window and I was like hey, alex,I should have gone to the house
walk Because I clearly hadalcohol poisoning from shaking
that violently.
Speaker 4 (38:57):

I've done a lot of stupid shitin college to get to that point
too, but that was the last.
