Barstow was a huge corporation then. I mean, how long have you been working
there? Six years?
Dude, I've been... This September is going to be 7.
But I mean, I got hired... Caleb hired me, which is fun to talk about now.
My mom literally drove me to the city that day.
She saw how nervous I was. I got the internship interview at 1230 that day.
She drove me over there, and I was freaking out, too, because at the time,
I was actually emailing with what I thought was Erica Nardini, our CEO.
It was really just her office manager, but they made it seem like it was a...
It was whose office manager?
I was just an office manager. His name was Brett. He used to work with us.
At Barstow?
Yes, sir.
So you thought you were just emailing with the office manager from Barstow?
I thought I was emailing with Erica as the CEO, but it was really Brett behind
that.
So I think I'm emailing Erica. I think it's like a business interview type of
thing.
As I'm going over there, I look at the Barstow Snapchat, and I see Caleb
interviewing people.
So I'm saying, oh, fuck. This is kind of like a content thing, and I'm shitting
bricks because...
Now you're going to be on camera.
Now I'm going to be on camera. I was a fan of Caleb, a fan of everybody. I was
a big Barstow fan.
And you're nervous. Your mother knows you're nervous.
Terrifyingly nervous.
And also one thing that's value... Now this is a value of having children that
I think are thicker,
you know, is that you can see when they're nervous easier.
That's fair. I get rosy cheeks. I get big time rosy cheeks. I've been told that
a lot.
And I think that there's something about that. As a mother, it must be...
Because you have all these other mothers. The kid's on pills for nine months,
dude.
The kid, they have no idea, but he weighs 121 pounds.
Yes, sir. So she knew I was worried. And then I know it's a content interview
that I didn't realize.
Did you ever go to our old office by any chance?
I did one time.
So do you remember how you get off the elevator and everyone's sitting right
there?
Yeah. It's kind of alarming.
It's quite terrifying. So I'm a Barstow fan. No idea what I'm walking into. I
get off the elevator.
Everybody's sitting right there. Extremely scary.
I go walk by the bar. They say, stand there for a second. Go talk to Caleb.
I'm shit in bricks. I'm a Caleb Presley fan at the time. Still am.
And he just sits me down and asks me, are you fast?
And I said, you know what? For my size, I am pretty fast.
When I play softball, I get down the line pretty quick.
People will be shocked. I beat an out-of-ground ball or two in my day.
He says, prove it. Let's go downstairs to the street, to the 28th.
And when my mom dropped me off, I said, Claudia, drive away. Don't stay here.
I don't know what's going to happen. Just don't stay here.
There's some mother's name, Claudia?
Yeah. You call her by Claudia?
I call her Claudia sometimes.
It's a beautiful name.
Yeah, I like Claudia. My mom's name, so I like it.
So I call her Claude sometimes. She's Claude on my phone.
But so we go outside. She didn't move.
So I'm fucking freaking out. My mom is literally right there.
And I'm out there with the camera and Caleb.
No, your mother's right there?
She's right there. If you watch the video...
And what is she doing? Is she pretending she's not there?
Probably sitting in the car smoking a cigarette.
But she was there.
That checks out. That's awesome.
It was great. I was just terrified.
She was going to get out of the car and say something or anything.
We walk to the corner, run down the street.
Caleb says, you know what? You are fast. You're hired.
We go up and talk to Dave.
As I'm walking out, Gaz, our head of social, says,
what's your... Do you have any nicknames?
And I recently had watched Entourage and Goodfellas.
And Goodfellas was a character named Sally Balls.
Entourage was a character named Wally Balls.
I think just in my head, I thought Glenny Balls would be a name.
But me and my friends were jokingly named me that.
Like, I would call myself that jokingly.
We were talking about gambling or something.
Glenny Balls, huh?
Yeah. Like, when I'm talking about horse racing or anything.
Yeah.
And...
Sammy Spheres, Ronnie Rounds.
Yes, sir.
You know what I'm talking about?
So I said, oh, my friends call me Glenny Balls.
Then I think that... I think the name is... It's a catchy name.
It's a good name.
I think it's a good name.
And then, yeah, then pretty crazy.
Me and Caleb started hanging out.
And what about mom at that moment?
Did you hug?
Because the craziest thing that moms do is not leave and then pretend they left.
Dude, you know what happened, actually.
So it was right when Barstool first moved to New York from...
So everybody living across the country finally moved together.
Every Friday, they were doing Aloha Fridays.
So everyone would dress in Hawaiian shirts and make margaritas and shit.
I was only... I had just turned 20.
That's nice, like Christmas almost.
Yes, sir.
I had just turned 20.
And they immediately say, you're the intern.
Go get us alcohol.
And I, of course, had fake IDs.
Oh, yeah.
But I didn't want to use a fake ID and maybe get in trouble.
You just started.
As a Long Island person, using fake IDs in the city was always a bit of a scary
thing.
So I called my mom, like, hey, how far away are you?
You on the bridge yet?
She comes back, bought me all the alcohol and then...
Bought underage children alcohol.
No, my coworkers now were of age.
Oh.
Because I was just scared to buy it for...
I was scared to get, like, in trouble using a fake ID.
So my mom came back, drove back to the office, went to the liquor store down
the street,
bought us the alcohol, and then I just gave it to everybody else.
I was scared to not deliver.
Yeah.
And then I got Caleb Chipotle.
That was my first day at work.
Went to a MET game that night.
I hope you enjoyed that video.
And you can watch another.
And you can watch this one.
You can watch this one.
Different options, different choices.
Some guy just brings you one option.
Not this guy.
Two options.
Watch one.
This one or this one.
