Hey guys, Adam Ray here for the About Last Night podcast. Hope you're having a great week. Looking forward to a great weekend. Today is an ALN classic episode. That's right. We're throwing it back to the old days of the podcast. We had some bangers, some hitters, some legends come through the show. So we thought we'd dig deep and throw it back to some of those insane, hilarious, fun episodes. So enjoy the hell out of this episode. Of course, follow the podcast at ALN Podcast on Instagram and Twitter, at Adam Ray Comedy on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy your
week.
I'm excited. So we started with just going, drink that candle, drink that candle. Yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. Just
Brad flashbacks
of when fall
went wrong.
I
mean, that's how I got into every frat party is I just walked in and went, hey guys, do you want to see a dwarf drink a candle?
They go, you had
us
at
do you want to see a dwarf dot dot dot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever you say,
follow that. I was a rebel. The state as a group only got kicked out, we got kicked out of one,
we
got kicked out of some parties at different places, but we got kicked out of one frat party And I believe we were at either Duke or the University of North Carolina. Damn. And it was Michael Ian Black. Michael Ian Black was being so fucking weird. Oh, he wasn't raging too hard. He was just... No, no, no, no. He was just being weird. He was just acting like Michael Ian Black. And some guy came over and was like, Hey, bro. Close. Close party. It's a close party. And then we got chased out of some frat house.
Now, was this like doing college tours? The
state used to do college tours,
yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. That must have just been... It was debaucherous and... It like and not in like their campus theaters or. Yeah, we would do like tour colleges and stuff. All I remember is we did one tour. It was called like Winter on Wheels. And we toured around the Northeast, all the colleges. But our last stop on the way home drove us past Foxwoods. OK. And every single one of us lost all the money that we had just
made. Foxwoods Casino.
Like, we made $600 on the tour,
and
we each lost $900. Oh,
my God. On what game? It
sucked. Mostly blackjack. The state has a lot of blackjack players in the state. That's awesome. Guys, it's nice to be here now that we're going.
How do the hosts describe the wild frat‑party and college‑tour anecdotes?
Yeah. It's great to have you. This is, well, so, look, we've known of you for quite some time. I've never
met
you before, never heard of you before.
What
do you do? I was on two episodes of Friends. Wow. Oh,
wait a minute. Let me see your hand. Let me see your hand. I know you. I think I know
who
you
are.
Has that happened, by the way? How long have the gummy bears been out? A couple days. They seem gross. Nope. I refresh them. You do? Oh, look at that. Yeah. I was just trying to see. No, they're loose. By the way, if that's not the real gummy bear test for the commercial, where some little fat kid walks into a room and goes, how fresh are those? And then he tilts them up. Do it. That's the
first test. They actually are. Yeah, they are. I mean, that's what they do. That's what they do at Dairy Queen. I'm
also soaking in them. Because nothing says fall
time like gummy bears. At the
end of this podcast, we're all sticking our wangs in there. I
don't know what's going to happen. Drink that candle. Drink that
candle. Wangs in the gummy bears. Drink that candle. Capri Sun.
Oh,
I hate it, but I love it. What flavor is that? Who cares? Who cares? Wangs in the gummy bears. Drink that candle. This is going to be a fucking crazy Tuesday, guys. Weirdest frat ever. If those are like the hymns you have to sing to get initiated.
There's
one kid that's just like, I don't know if this is the house for me.
