The PE Guy on Boston, Weddings & New England Culture | So New England #70

Johnny Hilbrant aka the “PE Guy” joins the So New England Podcast to talk Boston culture, private equity stereotypes, and why New Englanders are blunt, loyal, and allergic to fake people. From Chicago vs Boston to weddings, wealth, bad weather, and brutal honesty, this episode perfectly explains why New England just hits different.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
I'm pretty sure bad weather builds character.
Four Seasons gives you 4 personalities so you can make a
life out. Of it exactly.
Did you just make that? Up I did Wow from

(00:39):
Brown. Good freaking morning from New
England folks. Welcome back to episode 7, Zero
70. It's a big one.
That's a lot of the so New England podcast.
I am your host Ian Brownhill, joined by my Co host Robert
Travisano AKARJ all things life's better in New England.
So New England podcast producer Vinny G behind the lens.
Insert whatever cute little pop up he wants to put up here with

(01:02):
his little blurb That's usually saying something offensive to me
right here. Don't think I'm not seeing
these, Van. Oh boy, RJ, tell us who we've
got today. Here we go.
Sometimes when it comes to our beloved New England, it's only
as good as the people that join us and stay because they realize
how amazing it is. And that's just what today's
guest did, because he has spent the last decade accumulating

(01:25):
that love and turning into one of us, a true New Englander.
But that doesn't limit his content.
Because if you are one of the 250,000 that follows him, you'd
know his sketches don't just hold on to those stereotypes
here in New England. Which is also what sets them
apart. Because these stereotypes aren't
the normal ones you'd think. So without any spoilers, further

(01:48):
ado, all the ways to enter someone into a podcast.
It is my pleasure to welcome thePE guy, Mr. Johnny Hilbre.
That right there that. Was amazing.
Start all of your Soul Cycle classes moving.
Yes, that's I'm going to do that.
I'm going to need that clip and I'm just going to play it for

(02:08):
all my classes. Yeah, let's go.
Amazing. So the Windy City blew you in to
the Boston region 10 years ago, Johnny.
Welcome in. Thank you.
Thank you. Appreciate.
You making the the trek down to Little Roadie?
Have you spent time here yet? Ish.
My stepbrother went to PC, so OK, so, but I, I mean, anytime I
visited him, this was like 8 years ago when I'd visit him, I

(02:30):
didn't, you know, I wasn't fullyall here, right?
Yeah, they were, yeah, they werejust yeah, I was going to like
frat houses at, you know, those row houses that they had.
And so I never remembered anything that I did here.
Awesome, beautiful town. You're not the first person to
say that Rhode Island wasn't very memorable.
No, but this is, this is actually a really interesting

(02:51):
thing because obviously with theSnow New England podcast, so a
majority of our guests have those New England roots from the
core. But this is interesting because
I am, I am happy to open this upbecause I'd like to hear a
little bit about Chicago growingup there and then the transition
coming here and hearing the difference about the cities.
And then of course, I'd love to hear about how you became the PE
guy. So give us an all.

(03:12):
So yeah, from Chicago, but if I can't say that to somebody who's
actually from Chicago, I'm from the suburbs of Chicago.
So our suburbs. It's the same way here in
Boston. You know, it's like the suburbs.
You're not really from Boston, so it's like a city thing, you.
Don't wanna upset anybody by saying you're from Chicago and
they're like, oh, you're from Winnetka.
Like, it's not really. I'm from like, Ferris Bueller's
Day Off town, you know, like, actually they, you know, they

(03:34):
filmed that, you know, the John Hughes movies.
Yes, Yeah, yeah. So grew up in Chicago.
I mean, you know, great little town, not much, not a huge
sports guy, but family had season tickets to the Bears.
So we go to we go to Soldier Field and stuff like that.
Wrigley obviously fun. I'm trying to think of other

(03:56):
other notable things about my childhood.
I was a swimmer. So I, I actually always say
this, I never did land sports. So I was a swimmer or a water
pole player. So and people are like, you must
have played basketball 'cause I'm like 6-4 and I'm.
Like, yeah, I was going to say you're.
Absolutely not. That's like the biggest shock
that always happens when I have these podcasts is like the
guests come in and I was like, Inever know how tall they're
going to be and I always know they're going to be shocked
about how short I am. So this is.

(04:17):
Like, think about that actually.Every time I every time I meet
someone, I'm always like, wow, you are so much bigger.
We just had a a gentleman zoningand he came in and I was like, I
knew he was going to be big, buthe was a brick shit house man.
Yeah, yeah, 62 wide, but yeah, no, like you definitely have
like that long leg swimmer build.
Yes, I can see that. Once I say swimmer, people go,
they go, oh, OK, yeah, they clock.
But but the ever you know, it's just like it's kind of mostly

(04:39):
like old women, like you must have played basketball.
No, definitely not play. For the Celtics.
Yeah, yeah, very poorly. I played basketball, so.
But then I went to school in Denver, University of Denver for
four years, you know, you know, graduate with an undergraduate
business, general business degree, moved to LA for two
years to work for the Ellen Show, which was a fun shit show.

(05:01):
Yeah. That was a, that was a a doozy.
And then moved back to Chicago, found Soul Cycle as a rider.
And I was like, wow, like these this is like, you know, this is
my calling. Somehow.
I was like, I want to be a Soul Cycle instructor.
And I, I auditioned and got in and moved to New York for
training. And then they were like, you're
going to move to Boston. And I was like, OK, I don't know

(05:24):
really anything about Boston other than, you know, it's it's
a cool city. It's a a lot of people live
there. I was like, OK, so I had some
people friends who lived here and I was like, all right, moved
to Boston. I was going to be here for a
year and then ended up it's beenabout 10.
So I think I'll stay. Yeah, absolutely.
It's good. I love.
It that's actually incredibly fascinating that you went to all
these different so Denver, Chicago, Denver, LA and then

(05:47):
Boston or New York. Chicago, You know, growing up in
Chicago, Denver for school, LA for two years for Ellen, Chicago
for like a few months to readjust after getting a shit
kick out of me at Ellen, and then New York for for six months
for training and then they were figuring out where to put me.
And then Boston. Gotcha.

(06:07):
Yeah. Can we you want to talk about
the Ellen stuff a little bit? Sure.
Yeah. I mean, what what made it so
difficult? We had a a girl on here.
Oh, no, sorry, John. Yeah, John, you're right.
And she works at what is it KISS108 or something like that.
But she won like she won like the contest to be on Ellen to do
like, I don't know, we had like this whole.
Oh no, like, did she go? She did, yeah.
She went twice. She went two or three or

(06:28):
something. Yeah, she went on a free TVI
forget what it was, but. Was it a bummer for her?
Oh, she wasn't a guest on the show.
She was got tickets. Yeah, it was like she won
tickets and it was for like a giveaway.
It was like. 12 days, yeah, probably 12 days.
They do 12 days of for the holidays.
And they do, they give out like every audience member gets like
$3500 worth of free stuff throughout the show.

(06:49):
So Ellen will just be like, and they all come knowing that.
So they have they have rented SUVs and they're ready to like
load up with and it's cool. The first year I was.
There, that's like, cool. Oh my, yeah.
No, it was cool. The first year I was there, I
was, I was a production assistant.
So our job was to load their cars up with all this stuff at
the end of the day. And I was like, this is fun.
Like, you know, and then it got gross.
Like I was like, this is gross. These people are like sitting

(07:11):
there like, yeah, I can't wait for my new crock pot and my like
TV and my crews. It was just, and like, they just
sit there and they're like, wow,they looked like it was like
something out of The Walking Dead.
Yeah, it was. So it was fine.
Those giveaway shows were alwayslike the audience roaring.
The whole staff is sitting therejust like, okay, you can't wait
to load your car up, all this shit.

(07:33):
But I was there for two years. It was fine.
I just, I, I never, I didn't. I thought I wanted to be in
comedy. And I was like, this isn't
really like funny, you know? Yeah, in my opinion.
Is that what brought you to LA is you want to go and try out
the comedy scene, like stand up comedy?
Yeah, well, I want, I wanted to like do something like comedy
writing probably. I was like because I tried stand
up. Stand up is terrifying and and

(07:55):
not just very gratifying unless you're really, really good at
it, I think, which I just am not.
I think it's like a muscle. You could technically, like
technically I could have an 8 pack, but like, I'm not gonna do
that. Yeah, like it's not gonna be me,
you know, like. Don't put me into that, I'm
trying you sell my parfait in the fridge.
Yeah, so you sell my parfait in the fridge.

(08:17):
You like that? That's gonna do.
It the line right there. That's it.
Yeah, the parfait in the fridge is gonna do it.
But yeah, I just. I wanted to be in comedy
somehow. And I I linked up with somebody
who was in charge of hiring at Ellen, and she was like, I hire
interns. And I was like, you know what?
I think I'm gonna I think I'm going to contact her and see if
I can get a job. I got the job moved out there
and I was like, all right, L as it different.

(08:38):
It's it's exciting. It's warm, like it's, it was
exciting for the first year. And then I was kind of like, I
don't know, this feels kind of like soulless to me.
And it wasn't like that environment wasn't like a
collaborative in my opinion. It wasn't like a collaborative
like, oh, hey, like, let's let'sfoster your growth here as an
employer. What it was kind of just like,

(08:58):
which I get like you're a production assistant.
Like you should be happy to be here and like, be quiet, right?
And don't talk to her or look ather, you know?
Yeah. Which is pretty much how every
like movie set in film industry is kind of that's actually, oh,
that's right. She's kind of has like drama
about being a a bad person on set.
I actually forgot about that. I was naively going into it
being like, oh, I'm going to like hang out with Ellen, like,

(09:21):
which is dumb. Like, that's like being like,
I'm going to go over for JP Morgan.
I'm going to see Jamie Dimon. He's going to Take Me Out to
breakfast. Like, it was just like, it was
this naive, like, oh, she's going to be so fun.
And people were like, oh, like, don't like, don't like, look at
her, you know, like, don't look her in the eyes.
Yeah, just don't. And I, you know, I imagine, I
imagine probably like, if you'reat dinner with her, she's

(09:43):
lovely. But in that environment, I think
she was too stressed out to be like, hey, what's up?
What's your name? She was just, like, I'm at work.
I'm not trying to be like, how long have you worked here?
Yeah. You know, in my dreams, it was
like, she'd be like your. I saw your tweet from last week.
That was funny. Like, why don't you come into my
office and write the next monologue, you know?
Well, hey, you never know, things could happen.

(10:04):
But that's true. Apparently in that environment,
not. No, no, it was very like, OK,
you are here, we are here like you, you stay there.
So I knew my place, but I was like, all right, I don't want to
do that. I don't want to be like down and
I I kind of was like, all right,I got comfortable just being
like, all right, you're going ifyou want to make people laugh,
like just make people in your life laugh.
Like be cool with that. Like you don't have to be the
next whatever that, you know, whatever I wanted to be.

(10:28):
You don't have to write on the next show.
If like, if that doesn't feel right, just go be the funny guy
at at Soul Cycle, right. You know, yeah.
So yeah, that was an interestingexperience.
And then I was after two years, I was like, I got to get the
hell out of here. I didn't want to be in LA.
It was too far from Chicago. And and that I just was like,

(10:49):
people like, will you go work atJames Corden?
And then there were mixed reviews about working there.
And I was like, this is ridiculous.
Like this should not be that bigof a, should not be that
difficult to work in a, at a talk show and not like not get
like the shit kicked out of you.So and people were pretty much
like, it's just kind of the industry.
And I was like, I'm not going tobe a part of this industry.
Like, like, yeah, you take yourself too seriously if, you

(11:11):
know, like we're we're literallygiving out free crock pots in
the middle of the day to to people, to people who are
sitting in front of their TV's in the middle of the day, Right.
No offense to them, right, because I do that.
But that was just like, we're done here.
So yeah. I don't blame you.
Yeah. So that must have been a huge
shift then, to go to a from a place like LA that had that
soulless experience to a place like Boston that is like all

(11:33):
soul. Yes, we're actually, we actually
don't offer a ton except for oursouls.
It's like every bar is the same,every person is the same.
But man, do we got some fucking soul.
No, it's good and I love it. People are like Massholes and
the East Coast people really. And I'm like, you know what?
I would prefer you to be real with me and be like, get the
fuck out of here versus being fake.
And LA to me, I'd rather that. And I also have a theory that

(11:58):
bad weather builds character so.100.
Percent. No offense to people who you
know, but I'm like I'm pretty sure bad weather builds
character. Four Seasons gives you 4
personalities so you can make a life out.
Of it exactly. Did you just make that?
Up. I did.
Wow. OK, I could be a writer.
Perfect. I was like.
No, but I actually had this thisconversation because this over

(12:19):
Thanksgiving, because as I'm sitting with my family and
friends, I talk about the interactions I have when I meet
someone. And it's a very unique
experience because people see you everyday online and they see
every moment of your life because you're either on like
Instagram stories or you're making Tik Toks, what have you.
So when they meet you, they, they really feel like they know
you. And it's a very different
disconnect between that and likeactual celebrity.

(12:41):
And that's why, like when you see these other celebrities,
they're like, they shoo you away.
They don't want to sign anything.
They need security guards to leave their hotel for the four
people that are like, yeah, I love your movies.
And you can't just say hi. I I run into people at like the
grocery store and they're like, I didn't know that you shopped
here. And I'm like, yeah, where else
would I shop? Shopping shopper Market Basket.
Like we're in New England. Yeah.
And it's always a unique experience.

(13:02):
But the very New England part ofthe interaction is people are
brutally honest with me. Yeah.
So I went to, I had a doctor's appointment and I'm in the
waiting room. The woman goes, are you the guy
that I see on Facebook? And I was like, hey, if you
watch videos about New England. Yeah, that's, that's me.
Yeah. And she goes, Oh, yeah, she
goes, well, you don't have the accent.
And I was like, no, I was like, it's fabricated.
And Oh my God, I was like, I overdo it for things.

(13:23):
She goes, I thought you overdid it because it doesn't sound like
Boston or New England. She goes, I'm from, I'm from
Dorchester and like, we don't talk.
She's like, I'm from Dorchester and we don't talk like that.
So I don't know where you got your accent from, but it's like
that brutal interaction with shedidn't mean to be mean.
And in my mind, I'm like, wow, that's not something nice to
say, but it's like, I would rather you do that.
Then you say like, Oh my God, you make videos are so funny.

(13:46):
And then I just, I know that realistically, you don't like
me. Blow smoke up my ass.
Exactly and. That's kind of like the love
hate relationship you have. You learn to get that thick skin
so. Yeah, no, I love that.
I the brutal honesty. I'm I'm I'm like, I would prefer
it, but I'm I'm also like a sensitive.
I'm a like I can't read comments.
No, I credit my car. I I'll read a comment that's

(14:07):
like every two weeks. I clock every two weeks.
Someone says you're not funny. And I'm like like, and then I
think about it all day long. Like I'm, I'm very, you know,
but I would, I guess I'd prefer somebody in person being like,
yeah, like, I mean, people are brutally honest with me and I I
would prefer that. I think now that you say it, as
long as they don't say you're not funny.
Like just keep that to yourself.Fuck shit about me to your

(14:28):
friends, like the rest of us, you know, like just, yeah, he's
he's not funny. It's overdone.
It's over hyped. Like I'm like, OK, you know,
thank you. I got it right.
But you can't say anything aboutme that I don't already know or
haven't already thought about. Of course, if you're someone who
is wants to be in the comedy space and my imagination is
running wild with the thought that you prize someone who beats
himself up quite a bit in order to get their content done where

(14:49):
they're like, oh, I didn't say this right.
That wasn't funny. I could deliver this better.
So people don't understand how brutally like we can be to how
brutal we can be to ourselves inour own mind when it comes to
writing content. So I hear you.
But those people don't ever say that shit to your face.
Yeah. And if they do, honestly, that
would be such a shock factor that I'd be like, thanks.
Can we can we leave each other'sspace now?

(15:10):
Because I really feel uncomfortable.
You're not nice a little. Much.
Yeah. Hello, it's like by the way,
this is just a video, so maybe we calm down.
But I, I always, I always mention to them, it's like if
you are viral, then you're goingto be getting hate.
So like once, once those hate comments come in about how
everyone hates my accent and it's not funny and I'm from
Rhode Island and not Boston and I'm like yeah, baby, yeah, yeah,

(15:31):
let's use up. Let's go.
It's all engagement. That's one of the funny points
with the pod is, you know, goingthrough the comments sometimes
because you know, you hit so many different people from so
many different places. You say 1 pizza spot is good.
You know you have 95 comments. Oh, that place sucks.
You should try this. And it's like, you know, I'm
obviously being a podcast. I try very hard to not respond

(15:55):
back with like shittiness. I stopped when we first started.
Yeah. I just like once someone thinks
it was like, oh, this sucks. He's like fuck you, this sucks.
Like, hey, I didn't reply. He didn't actually do that.
But I'm just saying like, he's like, he's like defending the
pub. Like, you don't have to let
these people do their thing. And like now it's more funny
because like someone said something the other day, they
were like, oh, you know, I've been in because we had one clip
from the Bean Wizard talk about New England Chinese food and how

(16:17):
how Chinese food in New England is better than anywhere else.
And like there's hundreds if notthousands of people that like
that and commented and we're like, Yep, exactly, 100%.
Like I live out here, blah, blah, blah, all that, all that.
Everyone's like, yes. And then someone commented it
and they're like, I've yet to find good Chinese food.
So I commented back. I was like, maybe it's not the
food and it's your palate. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(16:38):
But definitely you, you know, trying to be funny, like, you
know, with, you know, the emojisand all that.
But it's so true. Like I'm not a full time content
creator. I make little stuff here and
there, but I don't get as many comments as you guys do.
But I can only imagine, like yousaid, that one comment every two
weeks where it's like, you know,you're putting all your effort
into these videos and like same thing for you.
Like all this effort into the video.
You know, this is kind of stupid.

(17:00):
Or you can't help it or when you5000 trying positive ones.
And by the way, yeah, yeah. You try and branch out and do
something different and you're like, hey, aren't you supposed
to do the do the PE guy? Where's that guy?
It's. Like you motherfucker.
No, literally. I'll even post my story just
like a write like my people would be like stick to the
character. It's my regular face being like
I was at the grocery store and this funny thing happened.
I'm like, I was here before the character.

(17:21):
He got here in March. OK, Like this is my notice how
it doesn't say PE guy says Johnny Hilbrant like this is my
fucking page. OK, Like back off, you know.
But I have the I have the same gut reaction and I have to like
I should do like a Mel Robbins, like 543 and let them like I
need to do something to just like.
Film it. You got to Yeah of.

(17:42):
Course, yeah, I know. I love Mel Robbins.
I actually worked with her daughter at Soul Cycle.
Oh, really? Yeah.
Her daughter Sawyer, she's lovely.
And her, she actually does the she's been touring with her and
she wrote that book with her. Oh, that's so great.
That's cool to see, yeah. Heck yeah, yeah, yeah.
She vacations. We're actually, so we're from
Westerly, RI originally S from here and Mel vacations there in
the summer. At least she did when I first
started, when she first got on the scene.

(18:03):
And I started seeing when that 543 where I kind of put her on
the map and I was listening to her podcast, Ted Talks, all that
I started following her and one day I was like, this looks like
she's down in Westerly. Is this Muskwama kid?
So yeah, you know, fun little fact I love man that she
probably wants me to out her like that, but.
Yeah, I saw her on, she was on Bert Kreischer's podcast and I
listen to her. I never listened to her before
and I was like, oh wait, she's actually like.

(18:24):
Really. Yeah, she's the most like down
to earth, like motivational speaker that there probably is.
She's like very, she's very good, very informative, but also
not like overly hardcore where they're like you have emotions,
fuck those things. It's like time out.
I can't just like I can't fuck them entirely.
She was mad. Yeah.
I need to think about those things, emotions as they come
up. Yeah, She's she's cool.
I think about her every morning.Yeah.
My alarm goes off and I she doesthe five fourth.

(18:46):
She's like, you just count to 5 and you get up and I'm like, OK,
I don't always do it. She tells me about her.
At least you know. Yeah, good luck.
Yeah, right. You got a sleepy wife over
there. Sleepy girl.
What would you say was the hardest thing to learn growing
up? By learning how to like, you
save or spend money. You legit worked in banking, did
you not? You're welcome.
Are you still with Dime Bank or you to Hollywood now?

(19:09):
OK, rude, but yes, yes I am. Imagine your followers finding
out you're with a Connecticut based bank.
OK, first of all, they have a branch in Wesley, Rhode Island,
which is where we grew up. So really, that's brownie points
because I'm sticking to my roots.
Second, I think everyone would appreciate that I'm with a bank
that knows and understands theircommunity.
Their tagline is legit. Community banking lives here.

(19:30):
Hey, hey. I'm not asking you to sell me on
it. I've been banking with them for
years and they know me on a first name basis.
I'm just saying I'm surprised asall I can see the headlines now.
Mr. Anti Connecticut actually banks with local community bank.
OK, you know what? Follow along with me here.
They're FDIC insured, equal housing lenders, wicked

(19:51):
friendly. They take care of all my
personal needs, have expansive products to help all my
businesses, offer lending acrossthe board, merchant services.
What more could I possibly want or need?
And you know that I secretly like Connecticut, so.
Oh. I hope you heard that folks.
Dime Bank is the reason Ian loves Connecticut, OK?
You're ridiculous. Funny story though, you know how

(20:12):
they have like the mobile app with like banking lifesaver you
can do all the deposits. Have you tried to teach your mom
how to do the mobile deposit yet?
I was teaching my mom how to do it and she takes a selfie
instead of the check. Visit dime-bank.com to learn
more. All right, so let's get into the
PE guy then. So tell me about the content and
how that started to come to fruition.
Yeah, PE guy. Well, he's always been in my

(20:34):
head and he's always, he's neverhe's, he wasn't PE guy.
He just was guy you get stuck talking to at a wedding.
Yeah. And I kind of posted about him
here and there, like on my stories.
I hadn't done reels until March this year.
And I just like, I had this filter.
He was kind of like the filter is a Snapchat filter and it it
does crazy things to my eyes andmy face, my mouth, and I was

(20:58):
like, it kind of looks like a know it all.
So I was like in Florida in December last year's like a year
ago and I was I was like, I saw an iguana swimming in the ocean,
which was insane, like standing up because they don't swim like
this, right? But they like wade in the water
and Bob like this. It's wild.
A fucking iguana. Sorry, I don't know if I can
curse. Not yet.

(21:18):
Yeah, OK, a full iguana like bobbing and I, I posted it and I
and then I just like had this. I was like, OK, like I know
somebody in my comments when I had 7000 followers, I had some
people in my comments I didn't know and were annoying.
And I knew some of you like, that's actually like the North
American, like a Miami iguana. And they do that to cool off
because they're skin at this temperature.

(21:39):
They were going to be a know it all.
So I, I beat people to the punchby being like, I'm going to post
what you're going to comment. And I did it with that filter.
And then people were like, that's, that's a funny filter.
And I kept, and I, so I kept doing it as like a know it all.
And then I, I was at like consistently like a wedding
every other weekend and I kept getting cornered by somebody I
didn't want to talk to. And I was like, that's kind of

(22:00):
like that know it all character that I have it.
And so it evolved from that intothe guy you get stuck talking to
who for me, he'd be like, what do you do for work?
And I'd be like, Oh, I'm a soul cycle on, you know, instructor.
And he'd be like, oh, do they like they must be owned by, are
they owned by private equity? Like, you know, that that's
how's the business doing. And I'd just be like, I teach

(22:20):
the 45 minute class and then I leave like, I don't know how the
business is doing, you know, andI kept getting cornered by that
guy and I was like, you know what?
I'm going to just like it was kind of not as conscious as I'm
making it sound like it wasn't thought through, but I was like
he that character, that filter is that is the guy get stuck
talking to at every wedding, even if his face doesn't look

(22:42):
just the way he's talking to me.And so I, I started posting it
like, you know, how are the benefits at the company?
And I started posting to my story and somebody who's a rider
of mine, it's all cycle was like, you need to post these on
reels. Like I was trying to show my
mom, but it expired. This is on your story.
Like these are good. And I was like, OK, like,
because I, I was just like, no, I'm not like a reels person

(23:04):
because I was like, I'm a, I'm aTikTok person, not because my
content was doing well there, but just because like I felt
like it was a better, better. More enjoyable experience.
Yeah, and I was like, all right,I'm more of a TikTok guy.
And she was like, no, no, you have to just she's like, what do
you have to lose? Like, you know, so I had 7000
followers and I posted March like 25th maybe of this year.
I posted a video and it was likemaybe 20 seconds.

(23:25):
And he was just like, it's like the guy you get stuck talking to
at a wedding and he's like, he'slike, oh, like talking about his
bonus at his company and like how, how?
And then he's like, oh, so you, so you work, you're a spin
instructor. Is that like all you do?
Like that was kind of the vibe and it just that the next day it
had like 70,000 views or something and I was like, whoa,

(23:45):
that's kind of crazy. Like I was like, I don't have
70,000 people following me. So this is.
And then the next day it had like 100 and then it was and
people were like, whoa, that went viral.
And I was like, all right, I'm going to try it again two days
later because I, I was convincedit was just going to be like 1
and done. And I did it again two days
later and it was like, it's stuck.
And at this point, it wasn't PE guy yet.

(24:06):
It was still a guy you get stucktalking to at a wedding.
And then like I just kept feeding the algorithm every few
days. And then I eventually was like,
he made him in private equity because everyone I meet at a
wedding is now in private equity, right?
And they're all. You can afford to live in.
Boston, yeah, exactly. And they're all like, you know,
not all of them, but everyone the people I get stuck talking
to at a wedding are very like onthey have no self-awareness

(24:29):
really. You know, the fact that I'm
backed into a corner is like a good that's body language, but
we're not tracking. That please give me space.
Yeah, they're spitting in my face and I can smell whatever
they're drinking. Hammered, hammered.
Just the spitting in my face, like.
Yeah. And I'm on garden leave because

(24:51):
I was at Bain Capital and now I'm at I'm just like, I have no,
even if I knew what you were talking about, I would want you
to get away from me and everything I have all of my body
language is showing you that, but you're not clocking it.
So I and I was just like, this is hilarious that this happens
to me and all my friends start to like fall off like it's like
a circle of people talking and then it's like, it's like the

(25:12):
opposite of survival of the fittest.
It's like the weakest link gets stuck me, the weakest link gets
stuck talking to the the person with no self self-awareness and
everyone else kind of falls likejust like sloughs off and like
dead skin. And I'm just standing there
like, and this just is a consistent thing that happens to
me. And then people come up and be
like, I was talking to him and Iwas like, you were across the
bar and I was giving you signals.
I was like texting you. Please come get me SOS.

(25:35):
So I have like a deeply a deep, deep relationship with the
person you get stuck talking to at a wedding, at every wedding,
no matter what. And.
And now it's a little different because people are like, I'm
afraid to talk to you because, like, you make videos about
people like me. And I was like, good.
Yeah. Good.
Yeah. Wait, don't talk to me.
That's awesome. Build it.
Yeah. Perfect execution.

(25:56):
Yeah. So, yeah, he evolved into PE guy
gave him that job and it was kind of a good, it was a good
thing, a good group of people tomake fun of, I guess.
And it stuck and I, and I've, I haven't had to do much
apologizing, but some people in the beginning thought it was
about them. I think some some close people

(26:17):
in my life. And I was like, this is not
about you. You may have said some things
like this before, but this is not you.
So he's obviously. Flattery.
Like, it's not like a bad thing.I mean, yeah.
He's an exaggeration. This is a nudge to let you know
you know. Maybe don't be so annoying.
Yeah, go, go to Turks and Caicos, but shut the fuck up
about it, you know, Or go to Turks and Caicos and like.

(26:38):
No one cares about your Q3 bonusand how you're in the Maldives
now. Yeah, that's fine.
No, it's just take a. Bonus and go on your vacation
and shush about. It quietly enjoy it Yeah, have
all of the things that's the other thing about this whole
thing. It's kind of evolved into this
massive thing and there's I think there's different groups
of people and there's like a subset of followers and people
who engage with the content who are like, you know, forget

(26:59):
they're like anti capitalism, like tax the rich like, and I'm
just like, this is not I'm not like holding a sign up.
We're not doing that. Like this is just like the
comedy is the extreme example, like the best comedy is the most
extreme example of anything and I could make I could I can make
fun of like the soloist at a funeral singing like I I can

(27:20):
find the funniest I can find humor in most things.
It becomes their the voice or you know, America's Got Talent
audition. It's like this is a funeral.
Like beautiful voice, but also like the song should have ended
4 minutes ago. Yeah, you don't need the bridge
to keep. Going yeah, yeah, yeah.
And your voice actually knocked on my Nana.
'S dead. Can we just close the cast?
Yeah, the crisis shut it down. Yeah, but I but, you know, I

(27:41):
think people are like, yeah, like tax that, you know, forget
the what? And I'm like, no, that's not the
point. Like have your have a fleet of
Rivians and Range Rovers and have a house in the Hamptons and
in Misquama, go to all of these beautiful places, enjoy your
life. But like the way that people
talk about their anybody, not just private equity people is

(28:02):
like it's so obnoxious. And I I've just been clocking it
for years, mostly at weddings, because I have to be nice to
those people because we have to spend the whole weekend together
and I don't want to, I don't want to walk away from them or
be rude. But I think it's, it's also like
it's, it's deeper than just likethe comedy that like on its
face, like, oh, it's like, ha ha.
It's also like people do talk like that about 100% and it's a

(28:23):
good thing that maybe some of them are looking inward.
Maybe look inward. Have a private plane, have a
private plane. You don't maybe need to tell me
that you have one. This character though, is he
would go up to a homeless personand tell him that he just bought
his third house and be isn't that great.
So I think it's it can be, you can look at it very surface or

(28:44):
you can go deep with it. So I think that's why it's
resonating with a lot of people.Absolutely.
And I think that's the unique thing about art that I've had so
many conversations about is thatart is always going to last,
right? And comedy is art.
And I think comedy is essential because it allows us to bridge
the gap between the people who who want to be in the comments
section saying fuck capitalism. And then the people that are

(29:04):
like, oh, shit, is, is this me? Should I maybe taper back on my
Instagram Stories about the private jet?
And it's like comedy is somewhere in the middle.
And that's like what it's intended to be.
It's like it's not necessarily saying these things are
horrible. It's just saying like, don't
forget, there's people who don'thave this.
Maybe you shouldn't be shoving in their face.
Just just enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Maybe don't brag about the fruits that you have.
It's the same thing with people having children as well, like

(29:27):
pregnancy, like like when peopleare like.
Let's get into. Yeah, let's.
Dive right into feelings about. I have a a very heavy female
demographic so I'm going to keepmy opinion for myself.
Well, I. Don't have that demographic, so
I'll buckle in. I don't even look at my
insights. I have no idea who who I'm
talking to, but very smart. I know that people I know that
there's a lot of like people be like, Oh yeah, like I just look

(29:49):
at her and she gets pregnant. Like it's no.
And then and like that same thing.
Like you talk to somebody who islike infertile and just found
out that they're infertile or they're they've been trying for
10 years and you're just like, I'm pregnant again.
Like it's just like have a little tact.
Like just like know your and I'moverly self aware and like
thinking about how what I'm saying is going to make somebody
feel. And so when I meet somebody

(30:10):
who's the opposite, I'm like, who raised you?
Yeah, you know who raised you? I don't care that you work at
Bain Capital. Like you have no social skills
at all. Exactly.
So. That's the biggest, probably the
biggest thing. Again, that's kind of like a New
England thing. I feel like there's definitely,
we've got quite a few people whojust don't understand social
keys in this region. I will definitely say that.
And then they disguise it by saying, oh, I'm just being

(30:32):
honest. That's just, you know, I just,
I'm like, no, you're an asshole like you.
Let's just be very clear. You saying what you like are
feeling is you being an asshole right now has nothing to do with
you being honest. Like there's a way to say what
you're saying in a friendly manner that can be received by
all, and you're failing at that miserably.
Yeah, yeah. It's shocking when you when you
meet somebody like that and you're just like, wow, you're
not even kidding. I and I think my favorite thing

(30:55):
about social media and pertaining to moms, and I don't
mean this an offensive way, so don't get upset, is every video,
every video that starts, it's like no one tells you how hard
it is. It's like, OK, time out.
Everyone tells you. It's literally all over the
Internet talking about how hard it is to be a mom.
Also, your mom probably told youif you were fortunate to have
her in your life, your aunts, your sisters, anyone that's been

(31:17):
pregnant has been telling you how hard it is.
Yeah. Secondly, this is a choice.
You don't have to have a child. Yeah, if you chose to do this,
in most cases, you know, God willing, if that's a choice that
you've made, don't put it on us in the comments section in the
video. Yeah, Yeah, yeah.
I didn't make you do this. Don't subject me to this video
that makes you feel like it's all my fault.
Yeah, Yeah. No one tells you how hard it is.

(31:38):
I was. Like I'm sure somebody.
There are millions of movies outthere alone talking about it
now. Never mind the last 10 tik toks.
I talked about how hard it is tobe a mom.
Well, and I also think like now we're in like a time where it's
like it's, it's kind of, and notjust with, you know, having kids
and stuff, but it's a, it's like, like these are the top 10
things people don't tell you. And I'm like that you're

(32:00):
everyone's making those videos and they have for years.
So like you've seen the same video that you're making like,
and you know, no one tells you how hard it is to like when you
get a puppy. I'm just like trying.
I'm steering away from the pregnancy thing.
I'm afraid of them. Like my little sister's pregnant
right now and she, Oh well, everyone's going to know that.
We can cut that out if you don't.
Want to No, no, I'm just kidding.
She's like, she's she's like, she's enough pregnant and I

(32:22):
think enough people know. But yeah, like just there's so
much of that like there like it's, I think it's a little
overkill with the like lists of like this is the, I mean, I, I
even get stuff that's like I I learned a lot about birth that I
did not like that I did not knowhappened or needed to know
happen. And the no one tells you thing.

(32:42):
I'm like, I've seen 9 influencers that I follow say
the same thing. You know, they will all tell
you, but you know, God bless them.
God bless them, yeah. We're coming from this as a
comedic standpoint, yes, OK, trynot to be too upset with us
here. Awesome.
I think one thing that it's incredibly unique about your
content from just like followingyou seeing it is the stories

(33:05):
that you tell are very they're they're they're spread out.
So like the subjects as much as you're talking about like the
wedding and the people. But like, you know, you talk
about Arizona, you talk about Nantucket, you talk about New
York, Chicago, you talk about all of these different places.
So I'd like to kind of understand if I could, how you
go about like scripting out these videos and where the ideas
come from and the motivation outside of obviously we have

(33:27):
like the wedding one, but where you are now because obviously
you've changed wait a bit as to just the wedding to all the
things you talk about now. Yeah, I don't, I don't know how
it happened. I think I don't remember which
my first city was, but once I did like I think I did like
Chicago PE guy, 'cause I'm from there.

(33:47):
And then I did that and I was like, oh, I can do this for
every major city and like there's however many videos, 20
videos that I can make in the next whatever and how I go about
them. In the beginning it was just
Googling like most expensive daycare in Houston, like
literally or like I, I, if I knew somebody from that place,
I'd text them and be like, Hey, where would this guy like summer

(34:11):
if you lived in? Because I don't know where
someone in Texas would summer, you know?
And then people would send back like huge list of like if,
especially if they've seen the content, they know it's like a
format of like the kids do this.We go to this club, they go to
the school, blah, blah. Like people would just like send
it to me. So, but in the beginning it was
just like Googling most expensive Country Club, most

(34:31):
expensive initiation fee, like real estate realtor.com, like do
a, a radius in the city in Charlotte and like just put the
price range to like from 10 million to 50 and then find the,
the area that has the most of those and be like, that's where
he lives, you know, So I was like getting really into it in
the beginning. And then now it's like people

(34:51):
are like, do Toronto. Here's the list, you know, And
then I'm like, OK, I'm going to copy paste.
And then I was like, how do you know so well, I'm like, I don't
know, like it's all like crowdsourced now.
So as soon as I had done like a good enough job on those first
few, like doing my own research,people were like, Oh my gosh,
please do my city. And that was, it was fun because
it was like, and I've pretty much done all the major ones,

(35:14):
but I think I need to go back and do just do like part twos
for them. Yeah, of course.
So, but I will say people are very like they love their city.
They wanted to they want to see it done right.
So I have made a couple, a couple oopsies with my own
research and people are like, ifhe lived in Darien, he would not
golf at we burn, you know, like he would golf at.

(35:35):
And I'm just like, OK, and then I'll comment as the, as PE guy
being like I helicopter from my backyard to we burn, you know,
like like, like, you know, like it's no big deal.
So yeah. And then I'll script them and
I'll at first I was, we lived inCambridge and I lit we had, we
were in a townhouse and there was a open staircase with like,

(35:57):
you know, obviously rail links. But there I would put my, my
phone up in like a actually propit on the side of the staircase
before I had like a tripod thing.
And then I put my laptop behind it and then I would like be
looking at my phone, but throughkind of threw it and around it
to see the, you know, bullet points like we burned Country
Club wife. You know, here's what I do for

(36:18):
work. Wife is busy with the tennis pro
whatever, like the big the big things.
And then I got a little more like, OK, here's like a stand
for my laptop with that has an iPhone holder too, But it's
still a pretty like giant operation.
So you're, yeah, you still have that same set up.
No, now we moved to the suburbs and I so I have like an attic,
like a finished third floor space that is just kind of like,

(36:41):
I was like, you know, Amazon.comlike light for podcast and then
like it gets sent and it, it blows out in like 2 videos.
And then I'm like another light for podcast, you know, with a
green screen. And and then I just added it in
cap cut and it's do. You do the cap cut, do you do
so? Do you still get the filter from

(37:01):
Snapchat? The snap, the filters in
Snapchat and then I just download it to my phone and
then. AirDrop entirely in Snapchat and
then download. It yes, all in Snapchat download
save, save to gallery and then for my future gallery show and
then and then AirDrop to my computer and then put it in cap
cut and then remove the background and put a you know

(37:23):
whatever background in oh. OK, so you do the green screen
through cap through cap cut? Yeah, like that remove
background feature, which is great sometimes and and other
times it's not so great. It just depends.
Like sometimes it it catches, itholds and then other times it's
like half your face is out and you got to be a little.
But it's pretty easy. But I do like every once in
awhile making a video that's like not just me in my green

(37:43):
screen, like a little like cut together thing, you know, where
it's like I just did one with a couple Realtors in Boston or in
Wellesley. I went to the this is like $8
million house and like walked through it and just was like,
no, like this isn't good, this is terrible.
And I would have to renovate that, you know, like kind of
like that. I like those interactive things,
yeah. And do you feel like you've been
catching tread cuz obviously you've done some really awesome

(38:05):
collaborations. Yes, you've worked with a lot of
awesome influencers in this area.
And just as a whole I saw you with was it Russell Dickerson?
Is it yes the. Like the beginning, too.
Yeah, Russell Dickerson. It was like a mega fan of the
first video. That was awesome and you that's
what's so interesting about likethat is you connect yourself
with someone like that and I'm Russell sings the blue Tacoma

(38:26):
right. Is that his like one of his big
hits? And The funny thing is I was
like, it wasn't like, I was likeinundated with DMS and it was
like, I'm popping off. It's amazing.
But I was like, so I need to check Mark.
And I was like, oh, he's a country singer.
Like, OK, cool. And he's engaging with me.
And he's like, this is so funny.He's like, I have a show.
I've got a show coming up in Boston.
You should come to it. And I was like, like, I don't

(38:47):
really. And then I was like, oh, that's
the blue Tacoma guy. I know who that is.
Like at first I was like, I don't know who that is.
And then I was like, oh shit, I really do know who that is.
And he was like, come to the show.
So we went to the seaport, that pavilion.
Yeah, right. That's right across from where
we were at the legal. Yeah.
Yes, it's right there. Yeah.
And, and it was, it was. And he had me.
He was like, you'd come backstage and like meet my wife

(39:08):
and my band and. And I was like, oh, this is like
making me nerd. Like I did that when I was at
Ellen. I went to Justin Bieber's show
at whatever in LA, like whereverthe big arena is.
And we went into like a green room afterwards.
And it was like all these famouspeople and like Justin Bieber
like walks in the room after hisshow.

(39:29):
And I was like, this is so I wasthat was my only experience with
that. And Russell Dickerson was like
him and his band and his wife and they were like eating
Chinese food. And they were just like.
What's up? Of course they were.
Of course they were. Exactly.
Of course they were. Yeah, I was too nervous.
That's what we do. We do Chinese food and he he was
awesome. He and he still is.
He still is a fan. He still comments and stuff and

(39:49):
I he was like an OG. He was like one of the first
like real check mark people. You know how interesting, you
know, not a fraudulent check mark person.
We. Have a similar experience with
Ty Law. Ty Law is like a a famous former
NFL patriot for. Excuse me, NFL football player
for the Patriots who we grew up watching idolizing, and now he's
on the podcast and now, you know, when we go to the Patriots

(40:11):
games, he's got his own little setup.
He's on and he sees us and he's like, yo, and he introduces us
to everybody. He's like, these are my boys.
So it's a pretty wild thing because my mom legit has like a
signed Wheaties box of him like in the basement because he was
like, you know, exactly. It's a unique thing that social
media and, you know, can kind ofcreate that.
Especially comedic stuff, I feellike can really like it.

(40:33):
Like it's I think comedy is a good equalizer.
And when somebody who's like or like someone who you are like,
Oh my gosh, wow. They message you, you're or they
comment or like follow you. You're like and you're like, I
don't want to screw this up. You try to act.
You have to act cool because you're like, yeah, I know I
belong here. Like, hey, what's up?
It's no big deal. Like this is not.
I'm not freaking out at all. Yeah.

(40:53):
I this is might be a random ramble but I just saw a video
and it was actually really funny.
It was this kid that was playingA2 part series, which I think
we've all had in our mind, wherehe played Drake and he played
himself and he like pretended helike stood there and it it made
it funnier because he wasn't doing the multiple characters.
He stood there. He was he pretended to be Drake

(41:13):
and he was like, Oh, what's up, man?
And he's just like, oh, what's up, Drake?
And then he walked by and he goes, and this is how I would
react. He's like, oh, what's up, Drake
and walk away. He's like, Oh, you don't want a
picture. And he's like, and the whole
premise of the video is that he acted so cool and nonchalant
that he was like, Oh, you shouldcome back and hang out with me
and my friends. We like to go back to the
private jet and gamble. And he was like, all right, I
mean, if that's what you want, Drake, I'll come hang out with
you. And I'm like, how many times in

(41:35):
our life have we all kind of played that scenario?
Like, man, me, me and LeBron, meand Kobe, me and Tom Brie, we
would all, if we just if I had achance with them, we would be
best friends. Give me a shot.
I just need that chance to get in front of him and hang out so
he knows I'm a chill guy. Yeah.
Yeah. And I'm not a weird fan.
And I'd be totally normal, yeah,not trembling the whole time.

(41:55):
Now, the interesting thing aboutsocial media too, is now that
you're kind of with the, with the blowing up that you've had
occurring, but you're talking about trying to implement those
other things. That's the most nuanced thing is
like once you've kind of niched yourself down, it's so hard to
introduce yourself to your audience.
So what is it that you would like to start creating?
So maybe if you know any of youraudience that's watching, they
can expect to see some of this stuff coming up so that they're

(42:18):
not shocked and they don't bail on you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got a 1 trick pony, damn
it. Yeah, I can do other things.
OK. Come on, think, yeah, I think I,
I recently I just posted a videowhere the back and forth,
usually my, it's my character just talking to somebody and at
them and it's like exhausting. And I go the whole 90 seconds

(42:40):
or, or 120 seconds, like I just ramble through it.
And then I, I was like, all right, I'm going to do reactions
from the other side and it'll beme.
So I'd filmed all the PE guy talking and then I spliced
myself in just basically being like what like I, I don't, you
know, like, but it was me. And I felt like that was a good
way to start to like massage myself back into my Instagram

(43:03):
page. OK, because I started here.
This is my page first. So I'm going to try, I think to,
to implement like myself back inin that way.
And then it would be I love thatI hold it to such a high stand.
Like I'm like, I can't post a reel just my face talking about
something. But I think I've like, I think
my goal is to get to a place where I'm like, I'm comfortable

(43:27):
just posting a maybe I'm reacting to like ATV show.
I'm watching just me talking about like how I do on my story,
but like having it live on my, my page and not making every,
every single reel. So like I post and I'm like, and
I like walk the dogs for 20 minutes and if I come back and
it's not at like 23,000 like or views, I'm like, you know,
something's wrong. I, I put way too much stress on

(43:50):
that and, and too much pressure on that.
And I'm, I'm hoping I can like, kind of like just try other
things like with just me with, with the PE guy.
Maybe 5050 eventually would be great split because if Snapchat
takes that filter away we're in big trouble.
We are in. Big trouble.
You're going to have to tap intoone of those guys in the tech

(44:11):
industry and say I need you to make this.
I have tried that and I'll stop.I'll stop making fun of your
industry. Yeah, I have tried that.
I have done that. I have a a guy in the Ukraine
who apparently all the filter guys are in Ukraine.
Oh. Interesting.
The actual and the actual Snapchat people.
So I but I am on Snapchat on like snap stars like they're
trying to make A and they they have like a scrolly feature like

(44:34):
how YouTube has shorts, Snapchathas like they're trying to kind
of crack into that a little bit more with other generations too,
not just like Gen. Z.
So I'm like on there and we had a conversation with Snapchat and
I was just like, so you can't I'll do this, but you can't get
rid of the filter. If I did this right, like I'll
be a snap star for you, whateverthat means, and I'll post and

(44:56):
I'll do all this stuff. It'll be great.
I'll, I'll promote it, but like I'll if you remove the filter, I
can't do that right. So and they're like, they would
never promise to not do that. So hopefully that doesn't
happen. But I have a very JV version of
the filter available to me if needed and it won't be good but.
But it's the filter nonetheless you make it work.

(45:16):
Yeah, I could also maybe get some pasta surgery punched in
the face a couple times. Oh God, you know.
Go to Dorchester and make fun ofsomeones act, yeah?
Exactly. No problem, the Pats suck.
What the fuck? Exactly, Yeah.
That'd be. Is there any part of this
character that is you in some capacity first, like anything

(45:37):
that you relate to or some of the subjects you talk about,
What are you guilty of in that? I think I, well, I basically, I
live in Wellesley, so that's like already.
Anytime I hear the name Wellesley, I don't think of
Maggie. Yeah, I hear Wellesley.
I immediately my head just goes oh.
Yes, yes, the Wellesley mom I like.
I grew up in a town like, well, I grew.

(45:59):
I am around. I am in the circles of people
and I think, I think that's probably why I, why it works so
well because I have a lot of people around me that so I can't
be like, I'm making fun of that.Like I'm like a part of it in a
way because like I drive a Denali, for example, like, but

(46:20):
I'm not like, well, I drive intoNotley, you know, like, like I
have, I have nice things in my life.
You know, I'm married to an oralsurgeon.
He does nicely. You know, things are good.
But like I go to my mom's beach club in Florida.
Like I play golf sometimes. I so like I'm a little bit like
I'm adjacent to this care, but I'm also like an outsider in a

(46:42):
way. I was talking to the Boston
Globe. What do you call them reporter?
And she was just like, she was like, you're kind of an insider,
but also an outsider because youare in this world, but you're
like, you don't feel connected to it in the way that a lot of
people do. Like I do like, I don't feel
like a like I'm like wearing my Country Club like logo on my

(47:02):
polo shirt and like that just I'm like.
You're not pompous at. All I'm not.
I just am like and I hope that Inever would be.
If I like, I'm, I'm very like money and things don't equal
like any does, it doesn't make me.
And I do believe that some people think that because they
have these things, they are likehere and other people are here

(47:24):
and I don't. I'm just like, oh, I actually
have more work to do to convincepeople that are normal that I'm
not a piece of shit. Yeah.
So, you know, like that's a hugething.
Like if I say I'm from Winnetka to somebody who lives in Chicago
or didn't grow up in a town likeI grew up in, they're like, OK,
like here we go. And I have work to do to get to

(47:45):
dig out of that a little bit. And same with Wellesley.
I say I'm I live in Wellesley now and I'm not I'm not from
there. I just moved there in July.
Lovely town. But as soon as I say it, I see
people like they're like, OK, you know, I'm like, I'm like,
no, no, I swear, you know, it's like, so I just think they're

(48:05):
I'm like around it. I'm involved in these.
And that's the thing. All the things that they make
fun of are like they're and I think the only reason you would
be upset with what I make fun ofis that you whole you like, I am
like pulling the curtain back and me and like this isn't real.
Like your money is not a real thing that like makes you any
like. So if you're tying your worth to
your Nantucket compound and yourwhatever, you're living like the

(48:28):
most empty life ever. So I think that like people
don't, they're like, Oh my God, like, don't expose me.
You're exposing that like, I've worked my whole life for all
these things and that's all I have.
And, and those people are the ones probably who, who don't
like my stuff 'cause they're like, you're, you're exposing
me. You're exposing that like my
worth is tied to the fact that Iwent to Harvard Business and I

(48:51):
worked in consulting for X number of years.
And now I'm in PE and I have a this and you don't have, you
know, like I think that there's a, there's like a deeply,
there's something that really gets to people because they're
like, no, I am better because I and I'm like, you're really not,
you're even, you're worse. And we all think it.
And they're like, what? You know, so long answer, yes, a

(49:14):
little part of me exists in. And I think the other thing is
that everybody has a little piece of, of him, this
character. Like every once in a while
you'll say, I'll say something. I'm like, oh, that's a little PE
guy ish, you know. And then having the awareness I
think is good though. It's like a good, like I'll talk
to friends and they'll be like, yeah, so we just did this and
then we were renovating the bathroom.
And then they're like, Oh my God, I sound like your

(49:35):
character. And I'm like.
No, no. Please go on about the
renovations. I love it.
But you know, that's such a New England thing, truthfully, where
they make like that facial expression about when you say
you're from Wellesley because I think New England is just so
born and bred on the backbones of like that very American hard

(49:55):
working dream middle class people.
So there's such a frustration and anger that like lives within
New Englanders because a lot of us have worked so hard to get to
a particular place. So when we see other people
experiencing that, it's hard notto get frustrated because I feel
like industry started here. We had, you know, Pete from
Origin, a great company up in Maine manufacturing everything

(50:17):
done here. But so many people have worked
really hard and Boston, especially in the last like 10
years has created this. I mean, it's the wealth has
always been there, but especially with COVID, there's
just been this like Jack up of like insane wealth that's come
through and it's made so many people frustrated because as we
joked about when you said you first moved here 10 years ago,

(50:37):
you're like, this is a rat infested apartment.
You're telling me this is $5000 a month?
And it's like even worse now. And then the seaport created
this, this, you know, dichotomy of people who are just like what
happened to my city. Like this is supposed to be a
blue collar place where I can afford a double Decker and I can
retire my family. And now, yeah, instead I got all
these Wellesley people and. This asshole who teaches at Soul

(50:59):
Cycle, you know, like parking, is Denali illegally.
Not even from here. Like, I get that.
Yeah. But it's just like a New England
thing where I feel like there's definitely going to be people
who are like really annoying about it, but there's more like
that. You make that face like fucker,
I wish that was me. It's it's definitely like a a

(51:19):
love hate thing that I think comes to New England.
But that also really only existsin that that Boston hub, which
is like the center of the world here in New England, because you
go to Western Mass, you come here to Rhode Island.
We have got insane wealth here in Rhode Island.
It is criminally underrated because our economy is the
worst. Our roads are the worst, our
income is the worst, but we havethe highest cost per for land in

(51:41):
all the US. Like the average land cost is
like over 300,000. Yeah, to to live comfortably
here as middle class, it's like 275,000.
The average salary in around waslike 50 grand, right.
So that's just like the math ain't math in there.
So it's like we definitely have that here too.
It's it's pretty wild. Yeah, The the the I the I wish
that was me thing that like thatyou were saying I I feel like

(52:03):
sometimes I'm like, you don't Yeah, people don't like I I I
think back to like the best and I I'm like, I'm not Tom Brady.
I just like have AI live very comfortably in the suburbs,
which is like, I think some people are like, oh, that's the
dream. And I'm like, the only thing I
wanted in the suburbs was a yardfor my golden retrievers.
I have two of them. I was like, I want to fenced in
yard. That's it.
So I end up in in Wellesley, butI'm like the the best time in

(52:27):
life, the easiest time in life was when I didn't like I wasn't.
It's not that I'm like I, but I'm surrounded by a little more
of like this, like, oh, well, they had their lights put on
their trees professionally and I'm like, like, it's just a
different world. And it's like, it's more
complicated now. Like it's more like I'm just
like I had to shovel a driveway.Like I miss I, the part of me

(52:47):
does miss the rinky dink apartment that was like cheaper.
You know, life just becomes morecomplicated the older you get,
but the more stuff you get and the more like the success you
have. It's a little more like I'm like
when I talk to people who are like, I have some friends whose
parents have like a ton of moneyand they have like multiple
houses and like that. Stress your dad out.

(53:08):
Like I'd be thinking about like,did we lock the doors at the
house in Palm Beach? You know, like, you know, like I
know there's people that manage it.
I'm just like, I feel like I'm, I'm very simple.
I'm a homebody. I did very well when I lived in
just like a A1 bedroom apartmentand I could shut the doors 1
lock. There's one door.
I'm up a couple floors. So if you wanted to rob me,
you'd really have to have a reason to do it.

(53:29):
You know, things get I I just think it's like now especially
it's like more, more, more, more.
And it's like for what? What what's the that's not the
that's not, doesn't make you happy.
And we all know that by, you know, everyone's like, OK, cool.
But like I'll, I'm going to still try for more.
And I love your perspective on this in comparison to the
character. It's, it's a really cool

(53:51):
dichotomy that you're you're sharing there.
So I are different sometimes too.
And I can't even wrap my head around people who, like, go and
get there. They're like, oh, we had our
Christmas tree, like professional, like, do you not
have any pride, like to be like,like, I did that.
And also like, no one really cares about your Christmas
lights besides kids. And there's nothing more joyful
as a child than like having yourparents wrap their Christmas
tree with you. If you're fortunate enough to

(54:12):
experience that annual life. Like when I sat there with my
mom decorating the tree, like that's like the some of the
coolest memories. I feel like the whole
neighborhood is is professionally done because I
think it's I think what happens is like one person does it.
And this is like growing up in the town of Griffin.
One person does something and it's like, Oh, well, like Sally
and Joe did their had their lights.

(54:33):
Like I can't be seen in my frontyard doing stringing up my old
lights. Like I think that's what happens
to people. And I think they're like, oh, I
have AI have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and it's like, but
everyone has a has an Escalade. Like I guess I need an Escalade
like and I and I think people, Ithink we are dumb monkeys
basically and we have dumb monkey brains that are just like
must be like other monkeys and the.

(54:55):
Generation didn't continue to evolve.
Yes, if you believe in the theory of evolution.
We have fucked it up and we are.We screwed it up being time.
Yeah. So I think it's just it's very
it's can be very simple. It's like the group follow the
mentality of like, well, I can'tI don't want to be different
because if I'm different, it's harder to like, you know,
explain to people I have to be vulnerable and tell them I can't

(55:16):
afford to have the Escalade. So I'll go in deeply into debt
to get the Escalade. I'll do anything it takes to
get. So I think that that's like an A
dark, it's a dark cycle that people get caught up in.
And not just, I mean, I think ithappens in everything now,
especially with social media. You don't have to be anybody.
You can be at just a regular old, you know, and now for kids,
I mean, we're going down a bad path with the conversation.

(55:39):
It's going to go, yeah, it's, it's, it's bad.
So no, but again, I think it's important to just like the
perspective that you're sharing because there's a, there's a lot
that goes into your character and a lot that goes into the
comedy. And I think that the most
important message to take away from this is that there's
putting, you're putting genuine heart and thought thought behind
your intentions. It's like, yes, the whole thing
is to make you laugh, but there is some truth and story to it.
And I think that makes the best art.

(56:01):
Yeah, well, thank you. Yeah, of.
Course, stereotypes are funny for a reason.
Let's be real here. You know, we had Gary on a
couple episodes ago, and he talked about how in comedy, just
because you don't find it funny,that doesn't mean it was made
for you. Yeah.
So, like, take a seat back and just enjoy it for what it's
worth. Like if you're going to take
offense to it, then. It's not your type of.
Company it's well, it's either that or the stereotypes about

(56:23):
you because it's true it's. Hurting, let's be real, letting
you deep yeah, I think it's so it's what whoever said like like
Brené Brown re quoted it, but itwas like Teddy Roosevelt or
something said like if it's not about the the critic, it's the
I'm going to totally butcher this.
It's like it's not about the critic.
It's about the basically, it's like if you're not in the ring
fighting with me, like get out. Like I don't want to hear your.

(56:46):
The man in the arena. Yes, thank you.
Yeah, yeah. So that, that's a big I, I've
always felt I felt that way about like Soul Cycle and
Barry's too, because I, I teach at Barry's boot camp also.
And they're big on like feedbackfrom the clients.
And I'm like, they're not on a candlelit podium facing the
wrong direction with a microphone on their heads.

(57:08):
I don't care what that like as long as I didn't offend
somebody, you know, like I thinkwe, there's too much feedback in
general and everyone like we're very feedback heavy.
Like Barry's is like that. And I'm, I got an e-mail from
all of the feedback from my classes and I clicked to
unsubscribe on the e-mail. I'm like, I'm not, I do not want
to know what 54 people thought of me.
Like if imagine if every, every time you post it on Instagram,

(57:31):
it was like, what did you think of Ian's Last Post?
Zero to 10 stars and a description box.
Don't worry, I can tell. You right now this window would
be open and I would be. Supermanning out of it, yes.
So it's like, that's crazy easy.Yeah.
It's just like, what do you think about it?
And by the way, it's anonymous. He won't see that it's from you.
So when people are, I think. We give you a little challenge.

(57:51):
Front center, 3rd row, black tank top.
My name is Kaylee, yeah. Yeah, but how could you expect
that to be successful? It's like you're gonna have
someone in there who's like a former pro athlete, somebody who
hasn't exercised in 30 years. Their experience is gonna be
entirely different. Yes.
One person's gonna say that was too fast, too loud and too much.
One person gonna say that wasn'tenough.
It needs to be better. It's.
Like, yeah, and someone's gonna be like, he's the best.

(58:11):
He inspired me and it's it's just confusing and too much
again, monkey brain, monkey brain cannot handle.
I do not want to know. You don't want to know what
every single person has to say about everything.
You want to know anybody really wants to say to be No, I don't
know my biggest problem. No, it's just like, just leave
it alone. Yeah.
So it's I like, yeah, I like, I like.

(58:33):
No feedback. Thank you.
Amazing. All right, let's get into our SO
New England segment here. Yes.
I'm going to be curious to see what your answers are because
these are not biased. I grew up in this town, so this
is my answer. So have you been to all six
states here in New England? Have you been Maine?
Vermont. New Hampshire, Mass.
Rhode Island? Connecticut.
Yes, yes, I have. Do you have like a favor like if

(58:55):
you could stack them in order asto which ones you've enjoyed the
most? It would probably be it's, it's
created this way because of the,the limited time I've spent in
some of these. So the bottom three are going to
be bottom 3 because I haven't spent as much time there, but
I'm going to say Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,

(59:18):
Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire.
Interesting. OK, Yeah, All right.
I like it. That's.
So 4-5 and six are just because of.
Lack thereof, yeah, like. You also went to school in
Denver, so it's like, yeah, you've seen what mountains
actually look like, so. Yeah.
Oh, that's a good point. For you, the way it does for a
lot of us. I've said that a few times, once

(59:38):
you go out there and you see mountains, like I'm not, not to
discredit the mountains out here, but it's it's vastly
different. Yeah, very different.
I always had a view of the mountains from my dorm room,
which is something I never jealous.
I never thought I never realized.
Isn't 18 year old like that willnever happen for you again?
So that's insane. Yeah.
What of you? Now, since you've been here in
the last 10 years, would you saythat you have a favorite season

(59:59):
that you enjoy the most about New England?
I mean, you grew up in Chicago, so you had all the seasons.
Too. So it's yeah, I'm going to say
I'm. I'm going to say spring because
it's probably a common answer because it's the same in
Chicago. Like even when there's still
like dirty snow on the ground, if it's like warm enough to wear

(01:00:21):
AT shirt when you're taking the trash out or something, it's
like that feeling of like you'relike, oh, you know, in the, in
the fall, I'm like, oh, winter is coming.
Yeah. You know, like, OK, you know,
and then we fall back and the sunsets at 2:51 PM.
Like now in the spring, you're like, oh, and you spring forward
and like at the end of March andyou're like, OK, the sun's
staying out later. And even if it's like cold, you

(01:00:43):
have this like new, you know, it's like this rejuvenation.
You're like, OK, cool, I can putthe Bean boots away.
Maybe, maybe, probably not till the end of May, like, you know,
but it's like a hopeful and and it can be it can be a nice it
can be nice summer. I'm like everyone loves summer.
Yeah, I'm a sweater, so. I'm curious, what does like fall

(01:01:04):
look like in Chicago in comparison to how we do it up
here in New England? Do you guys do?
This is going to sound stupid, but I'm going to go for it.
Do you guys have like a lot of leaf changing going on?
Can you leaf peep in Chicago in the area?
Do you have? Yeah, there's or like a heavy
influence of like cider and Donuts and all that stuff, I
think. They try to do that a little bit
more. It's not the same, but yes.

(01:01:26):
And the, and the leaves, the leaves change a lot And they're
not it's it's definitely nice. It's not, it's just not the
same. But you do get like Wisconsin
and Michigan. You could do a day trip to like
a an apple orchard and do that whole thing.
Like growing up, my Christmas card like a couple years, like
like I was like 5 and eight. Our Christmas card was like at

(01:01:46):
an apple orchard. Gotcha.
So like that. And that wasn't like a forced
thing or like a, a fake, you know, they're real.
So fall's nice though, they, they do that.
They got farms and things like that.
Wasn't sure. Yeah, now we've got a lot of
good dishes here. Yes.
Do you have? Some favourites or is there like
1 dish that you're like since you've been here?
Like this encompasses all of NewEngland to me.

(01:02:10):
Yeah, I feel I will say I just was, I was not, I did not do
enough seafood in my life to I, I like, I was not a a big
seafood guy. The seafood here is that's like
what I think of like definitely I did like Florida seafood very
different. You know, a Florida oyster is
this big, you know, both hands. And so I, I had never had

(01:02:35):
oysters. I'd never had clams like fried
clams. I'd never had a lobster roll.
I don't think I'd had lobster atlike a I'm at Ruth's Chris
Steakhouse, you know, like, and it's a lobster.
Showing up. Here, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's in
and out. But I would say, I would just
say like in general, like the seafood here is like pretty
unbeatable. And then I would say my just the

(01:02:58):
first food that comes to mind isjust a lobster roll that's.
Like the same buddy, we'll go with it.
Anybody who, who comes from Chicago to visit, most of my
friends are like, where are we going to get a lobster roll?
And like, are we going to go to Luke's Lobster?
And I'm like, no, no, we're not going to go to Luke's lobster.
We're going to go to, we're going to go somewhere.
You know, you got, I mean, there's so many different takes
on it anywhere you go, like so and in all of the, all of the

(01:03:21):
states. So that's if I have one answer.
It's lobster roll. Got it.
Yeah. Is there anything about New
England that for you as far as like the information you had
prior to arrival where you're like, wow, this is very
overrated. I had a high expectations or
just in general where you're like this New England experience
is pretty overrated and then thereverse.

(01:03:41):
I'd love to know what's underrated to you as well.
I, I don't think that I knew, I don't think that I realized that
the like coming from having lived in Denver for four years
in college, I, I had always heard E, you know, and no
offense, but I'd heard from people out there, you know, East
Coast skiing is like horrible. It's bad.

(01:04:03):
It's like icy, it's like horrible.
It's just like it's nothing compared to this.
And I was like pleasantly surprised that that's not
always, that really isn't the case.
Depends on the weather. Depends.
And there's some really, really good mountains.
Like I went to Sugarloaf and I was like, am I like in Vail?
Like this is, you know, like it's so that was like an
underrated on. Like I had a totally different

(01:04:25):
perception of what that was going to be.
I was like, OK, yeah, but I'm not going to go ski in Vermont.
And then because I'm, you know, everyone says it's icy and bad
skiing. And then I'm just like, I'm now
I'm like, this is good. Most of the mountains are
already open up there. They've got some heavy snowfall
in northern Maine and Vermont already.
New Hampshire as well. There's plenty of snow up there,
but some of those mountains are already crushing it.
Yeah. So it's that's like a pleasantly

(01:04:48):
surprised by kind of thing. So you're saying that's
underrated? The ski here is underrated.
That's under it for someone likeme, a simple Midwest boy who
went to school in Denver. Underrated and and talked about
poorly in those places. I think sometimes by people who
are like ski snobs and it's justlike, it's really I honestly, I

(01:05:08):
prefer it sometimes. I'm not a great skier, but out
there, if you're skiing in a bunch of powder, it's impossible
for a newer guy. So I'm like, you know, obviously
I don't want to be skiing. And those are huge mountains.
Like that's yeah, it's A at least here it's like it's a a
semi quick run. So I guess you're tired and
you're like, but if you're scared and you're nervous and
you're at like 6 hours. It.

(01:05:28):
Takes like 3 hours to get down the mountain.
You're like, that's an exhaust. You only get, you get 1.
Run and your friends, your friends are lapping you and
flipping you off and you're likeOK, thank you Yeah, that.
So that's underrated, overrated.Overrated.
I feel like what's the thing that's not going to upset

(01:05:52):
anybody No, that's upset. I like it Overrated.
Maybe like the, I don't know, I feel like so growing up in
Chicago, you live on the lake. It's a Big Lake you can go to.
Like it's that might also be kind of over it.
I think the ocean being like oh you live on the ocean is
overrated because is that your answer?

(01:06:16):
I I've said this quite a bit about our oceans.
Because it's like I'm not like if I live on the ocean in Miami
different probably this is like,OK, first of all, we have we
have a temperature problem, OK, It's not you cannot sweat.
You can maybe. OK, fine.
We have a shark problem that nobody's talking about, OK.

(01:06:36):
We talk about it, we yeah, it's freezing, it's murky and we have
shocks. And everyone's like, Oh no,
they're not. They are for sure super here and
they're huge and they will. And Jaws was filmed in Cape Cod.
Yes, and they will definitely build the Alicia.
So I I'm AI, you know, I just think they're nice.
It's nice to look at, but it's like it's just an overrated.
Like it's like OK, everyone's like, oh, you live on the ocean.

(01:06:58):
I'm like, well, I don't really do anything with it.
Like I'm not going to be too bad.
I go to the I go to lakes, you know, a lake here or there,
Maine lakes, great, beautiful, you know, you're not going to
eaten by a shark And I don't know, I just there's something
about it. It's it's too much, it's too
daunting. It's like, it's not like you can
like get a powerboat on it easily.

(01:07:19):
You're not going to go tubing onit because if you fall off,
you'll be eaten or hit by a, a ferry coming from hang on, you
know, like, so it's just like there's too much bad associated
with beautiful views from, you know, Nautilus and seaport.
Wonderful, great. You know, like nice that we can
zip over to Nantucket on the ferry, but I don't need to like
I'm a splashing around in it, you know, so.

(01:07:40):
I'm with it, I'm with it. I agree that I'm like a, you
know, I heard New Englander, butI've said I just, I genuinely
believe, and I lived in Miami, as I mentioned to you.
So like I am a Florida beach guythrough and through.
Like I'm not going to go deep. I'm not a treader.
I'm not a swimmer. No, if I'm going to go in the
ocean, I want to be able to see my feet in anything that's near
me that in Florida. I mean, have you ever been to

(01:08:01):
like Saint Pete's Beach? You ever go to Tampa like that?
That's like the nicest beach clear.
Yeah, it's one of. The you see right down to the
toes in the. World I'm.
Interested in shallow clear and I and I have also where my mom
has a place down in Florida, there's constantly sharks.
So they also have that right andI've seen full full on bull
sharks like 10 feet away from the shore and friends come down

(01:08:24):
there and they're like there's no sharks let's go swim to the
buoy. I'm like.
That buoy is. After a reason, yeah, Yeah, that
buoy is their. Home.
How about no? Yeah, how about no, Scott?
Yeah, Yeah. So I'm anti shark and I agree.
But I agree. Nice, warm, you know, dip your
feet in and then and then. Get out.
Yeah, I think I know more of a visual experience.
Than I think so I was actually because I don't find it

(01:08:45):
refreshing anymore. When I was a kid it was more for
fearlessness just to be like, I'm going in the ocean.
Yeah, yeah, but like, now if I have to sit from my ankles deep
and then another 10 feet and another 10 feet, like it's too
damn cold. Yeah, but I'm not doing all
that. I hate the cold.
He knows I. Don't mind the cold, I hate
cold. That's the only thing I will say
I do like about it is like if I'm gonna go in the ocean, I do
want to be refreshed. And I too shocked A friggin hot

(01:09:07):
tub in Florida. Yeah, but see, then you gotta
walk out and then you get all sandy thing and rinse the sand
and see it's too. Much water pool guy.
You have a pool guy, lake guy than the ocean in that
particular order. Yeah, if I was.
From a view view standpoint, excuse me, I completely agree.
It's lovely. You beat it.
Yeah. Love it.
Yeah. OK, so now that you have
engulfed yourself in the New England way, if someone else was

(01:09:28):
interested in and moving here and you could give them like a
statement about New England, like something to kind of give
an expectation about the people,the food, like whatever it could
be one word paragraph. Like what would what would be
your pitch? I'm just imagining somebody from
Chicago moving here just becausethat's my experience.
And I, I would say the people are have like maybe a harder

(01:09:52):
exterior than they do at home, but they're, they're like warm
and gooey on the inside. If you get there, if you can get
there with them, they're nicer than you think they are.
The drivers aren't any worse than they are where you're
coming from. And what they say about being
able to like travel to differentplaces is like real, like you

(01:10:14):
can be in, you can be on a ferryto Long Island in an hour and a
half to New London. Like you can be up in Maine
eating at scales in Portland in two hours.
You can be on a plane from Loganto London in 5 1/2 hours.
Like that's a huge. So that's a huge thing.
Also that I think is underrated that no one that I didn't really

(01:10:36):
even think about that extra 2 hours closer to the coast that
you are makes a huge difference.It's basically like a.
Cheaper and faster to get to Europe than it is to get to LA.
Literally, yeah. And and it's, it's like it's
just, it's almost an easier flight.
I mean, it just, it is. So that's the ocean.
Headwinds are much better. Yeah, another thing about the
ocean, I don't like thinking thinking about that one
rocketing through the sky in a tube sealed up with too much

(01:10:59):
melatonin. Well, that's only if you're
flying private, right? Of course.
Of course, yes. Yes.
Yes, on the jet, yeah. Yeah, I love it.
OK, One thing we always like to ask, and I'm interested to see
if you bring Chicago, but we always like to add, if you could
personally add a city state, could be a country, could be an
entire continent. Like if there was another part

(01:11:20):
of the world that you could bring up to join us here in New
England. Includes the weather, the
traffic to people, all of it. Yeah, the.
Private equity people too. The private equity people.
People I would say it'd be hard to do because it would be two
cities, but if you could put if you could get Chicago, you'd I
would do you know on Zillow whenyou can do a ring you can draw
also. I would take I would do AI would

(01:11:43):
get the right ring of Chicago and then I would put it, you
know, the non the problem, the areas that are not having
tremendous problems, I would do I would do draw part of Chicago
and and put it here, because Chicago has great like it's got
it has good character and good food and it's similar to Boston
in that way, though, but it has and it has like die hard loyal,

(01:12:05):
like Chicago, people who are like who.
Are just I just detect a little Chicago accent.
I did that on purpose. Is there a Chicago character
maybe? I do have a Chicago.
Versus Boston guy. That's a good idea.
That's a really good. Except I can't do a Boston
accent for the life of. Me listen, none of us can.
And those are the best part. That's the best part.
It's. Really hard.

(01:12:26):
Honestly, I argue with people all the time and I'm like the
people who are a die hard, like we don't talk like that.
I'm like, let's just call a spade a spade.
Yeah, Yeah. There is a literacy going on
here. You guys don't know how to
properly annunciate. It's not an accent.
It is more education in America and the early ages.
Yeah, yeah. Of the, you know, the coal
mining, in fact. Your fault.
Yeah, Yeah. I, I, I love the pride, but

(01:12:48):
let's also not be offended if you know, like, well, Hollywood
doesn't get it right. Hollywood still made millions of
dollars while you were in Dorchester.
Pissed about Yeah, yeah. What's what's her face did that
in the town? Yeah, What's her name?
Not. Oh, God.
Married to Ryan Reynolds. Lake Lively.
Lake Lively? Yes, she had the.
Yeah, she had the I. Don't say her name.

(01:13:08):
Ever since I'm on what's his name?
Baldini side. Andrew Baldini side.
So say her name. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she who we shall not mention.
Yeah, yeah, No, I the Chicago thing is a lot easier for me
because I grew up around it, right.
But it's yeah, that's a good point.
Maybe a Chicago guy versus like a just a Boston.
Chicago private Equity versus Boston Private Equity.
Yeah, yeah, it's a really good idea actually.

(01:13:28):
Love that same face filter. Same Facebook.
Maybe you were brothers separated.
Yes, that were separated. Honestly.
This is the whole series, but this turned into the most.

through college? Wow, OK.
