Hey, you got to try this listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hey, everybody, welcome I'm back. It's the, what is this again? You've got to try this podcast with myself, Large. As always, it's Ian, behind the ones and twos, making sure it's not shot on a fucking potato. And today I have a very special guest

who's going to sit in for the next hour or so. His name is Luke Manley. Some people call him Lucie Lunchbox. Some people call him, Patrick Ewing. I don't give him what you call him. The guy was supposed to be working here. I'm not playing favorites. But everybody here I kind of love equally, I think I'd love this guy more. So that's, that's my bitterness. He was part of like the barstool idol or whatever

the hell it was called. We wound up hiring everybody except him that year. And you know what he's like? He's like, all right, I'm going to go from that and I'm going to wind up getting a role in Marty Supreme and hang out with Chalame and maybe, I don't know, finger bless

Gwyneth Paltrow, whatever the hell you did.

But again, it's all that.

It's Luke Manley.

He's my guy.

I'm very, very happy to have you here.

How's everything going?

It's a pleasure.

Thank you for that wonderful introduction.

Yeah, it's a good one, right?

Yeah.

No, and oh my God, I was so discouraged. Literally everybody, like, I think seven out of the 12 people got hired.

Is it crazy?

People who don't know, we did like an open casting call that turned into a reality show

where they put these guys through the ringer.

There was basketball game and apparently a lot of the people there had never seen a basketball

before. It was fucking weird. It was weird. And apparently a lot of the people there had never seen a basketball before.

It was fucking weird. It was weird. And they did all these skits and all that stuff. And from that,

we got my man, John Rich, who I love, Caroline Banowitz, who I love, Clemer, who I've had on the show.

Nadu, off again, on again, electric, you know, particularly his relationship with Who, who am I missing? Who else did we pick up? Did you say Danny Jackal? Danny Jackal, who does like kind of man on the street, more stuff in there, uh, and basically around universities. I think she had interviewed one of my son's friends when she was down to the university Alabama, made him look like a fucking idiot. maybe a couple other people. But why didn't you make the cut? I don't know, dude. I don't know. I think what they were going, I mean, how I tell, like how I tell myself is they already have the demographic who likes me. You know what I mean? Like, yes Okay. And Caroline, Danny, good-looking girls who are funny as shit.
