• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Thanks for having us over.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Definitely. I guess to lead in, you have met Mr.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Pardo before. I have. And he doesn't know the ways.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: He doesn't.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: He's terrified of your story.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I am very terrified.
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: I'm letting him stew in fear. We met in the
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: lobby about 15 minutes ago, and I said, I've met
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: you before. I'm holding the story.
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: And what look did I have in my face?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, good Lord.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Abject terror.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, go.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: No, it's actually a delightful story.
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: Is it a nice story?
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: There's no children you need to know about. There's no scandal.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Let's bring that on him later. It's okay.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: I went to see your match game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: Oh, goodness.
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. And it was the first
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: time I ever went, and I was picked as a contestant.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You were a contestant on a match game?
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: So I got to be a contestant on a match game.
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: And it was one of the greatest experiences of my life,
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: even though I lost.
• 3:10
  Speaker 9: Now let me tell you something, Lucy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: In the lobby, when you said it was a great experience,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I thought you were being hyperbolic.
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: I thought you were exaggerating. But you know what? I'm
• 3:20
  Speaker 9: not going to lie to you.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I get it because those match games were something special.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Truly something special. With six of the funniest people in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the world and me. And then you had a chance
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to win money. But those were just magical. So you're welcome.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Who was on the panel?
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: Do you remember?
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: I do remember. And I'll tell you my story. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: I've told this story often throughout the years. Because while
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: I lost, I felt that I did, in fact, celebrate
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: a moral victory of some sort. Bart Braverman was the
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: classic contestant.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: I was on the Bart Braverman.
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: Bart was on twice.
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I was half of those times.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: I was a contestant. And it was your lovely wife.
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: And Scott Aukerman.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: And, oh gosh, I want to say Doug Benson.
• 4:04
  Speaker 9: My wife is Danielle Kandick, by the way, for the
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: at-home listeners.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, of course.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: I thought that went without saying.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: And golly, golly, I'm not super sure who the final
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: two celebrity panelists were.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Rip Torn. Rip Torn. What's interesting about that is it
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: was early on, because Braverman was on some of the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: early match games. He had come to see the show.
• 4:25
  Speaker 9: Somebody told Bart Braverman about it And.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: He came to watch it once. And then when it
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: was over, I said, so would you like to do it?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know. You guys, you know, there's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a meanness to the show.
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: And I was like, well, we're a bunch.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Of sarcastic comedians.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: What did you expect?
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: And he's like, well, the way.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And then he misunderstood something with a contestant who ended
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: up being April Richardson, the comedian. She was a contestant.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And he thought that we brought her on stage to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: ridicule her. and I don't know if this is, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: don't know why I'm telling this out loud. Um, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I said, she volunteered to be a contestant. He goes, Oh, well,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: fuck it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 9: Let's do it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Like he really didn't get the concept.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: He didn't get, but then when he came on the show, uh,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you know, cause he was on the original match game and,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and was he on Vegas? Is that what he's famous for? Uh,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: so what was it?
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: Vega, Vega dollar sign, I think is what we call it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So he, um, uh, so he did it. I think
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: he did it twice. And then, uh, all of a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: sudden it, uh, you know, we, we also from the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: original had, um, Edie McClurg came on.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, that's huge.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And one other person from the original match game. Oh,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the great Marshall Wallace came and did it a few times.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: But then we ended up getting shut down for legal reasons.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: I was going to say, it seems like that whole
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: scene's restructured and has changed twice since that stuff, at least. Well,
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: the whole comedy scene. It seems like there's new waves
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: that keep coming in.
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: Well, we were shut down by Fremantle.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: At least you have a good reason why it's not.
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, we would have kept doing match game as long
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: as I wanted to because it was Scott and I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: would produce it but we got it was exhausting and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in a way I was relieved when Fremantle said stop
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you don't have the rights to this stop doing it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Legally we have no choice but to shut this down yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: So tell me your story.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: So my story is that I was in the lead
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: and I was feeling pretty good about it. I really
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: felt like I had a shot at this thing. It
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: was kind of a dream come true. And we get to,
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: I have to do a match. I feel like I'm,
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: I can't remember what the point situation was. But the
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: question was, or the potential match was, dumb.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Doris is so dumb.
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: How dumb is she?
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, thank you for the cue.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Dumb Doris is so dumb that she needs a recipe
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: to make blank. Dumb Norris is so dumb that she
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: needs a recipe to make blank.
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I was going with toast, but all right.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Ice cubes, that's what you think. Because that's the obvious first.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's like the.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Can I ask what... This is the third round. This
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is the one where.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: There's a lot riding.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to match.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: But my feeling was, I've got one shot at this thing.
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: I always wanted to be on Match Game. If you
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: were in a game show in the 70s, and the
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: option is make blank.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: What do you make?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Whoopie.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: You make whoopie.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: But not in this case. This is recipe.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: She needs a recipe to make whoopie.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: There's books out there. I thought it was hilarious.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: And I say it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: It's a horrible.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: It's a terrible answer.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And did the audience boo you?
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: No, it just went silent. And then there was a
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: couple of really sympathetic.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You heard it? You heard shoulders go down?
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: I could hear the shoulders go down.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: And it was so disheartening to me because I was
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: so proud of the answer. And then one by one,
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: my dreams were crushed. Scott Ackerman, ice. Your lovely wife, Danielle, ice.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: Everybody ice except one person. And who is the one person.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Who knew that you make Whoopi?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Bart Braverman said Whoopi.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: He said Whoopi. And it was all worth it. It
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: was worth it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: Now, you met Whoopi Goldberg, right? That's the angle you
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: were taking.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Somebody needed a recipe to put that together, right?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Right, because I can't figure it out on a daily basis.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're off. Well, I'm sorry. But it's your fault.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: It's a horrible answer.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Well, it's your fault for growing up when you did.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: If you were anyone else in the next generation.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Disagree. Still a horrible answer. Horrible answer. It's about food.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: It's always about making whoopie.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: There's whoopie websites, too. There's recipe books. There's websites. There's
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: options out there.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: I felt like it was in the spirit of the show.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I stand by my answer.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree with anything you're saying, yet at the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: same time, it's the worst answer in the world.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Well, it cost me however much money.
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: You could have won $ 200 if I'm not mistaken.
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: I could have won $ 200, but do you know what
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: I got instead?
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: What fun, stupid trinket did you get?
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: I got Jimmy Pardo paraphernalia.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, this was early on.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I got a CD, so worth it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, we ended up giving away, like I would end
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: up going to the clearance bin at Target and buying
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: stupid things from the As Seen on TV stuff.
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: But yeah, that was really early on. So you got
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: a Pompous Clown CD?
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Maybe.
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: Is that what it was?
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: I don't remember what it was. I mean, I listen
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: to it all the time.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: It sounds like you do. Although in fairness, I don't
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: trust anything you say because you had the worst answer
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: in the history. Although that's a great, but there's been
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: times over the years where we had horrible, like people
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: just didn't understand match game.
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: Like they would give us answers.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: At least it was strategy, yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And they would like, yeah, or they would try to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: be too funny, the contestants. And it was like, that's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: not your job. Your job is to try to. You're
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the straight man. Yeah, you're the straight man. Exactly. So good.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, nice to see you again.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: So nice to see you again, Jimmy, after all these years.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: My pleasure. I'm so happy we were able to reunite.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: I'm glad you can.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Enjoy my CD that you can't remember the name of.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: It doesn't seem to hurt my feelings at all.
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: I'll be fine.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: We'll introduce your son later. And that's, you know, when
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: the lawyer letter comes.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: No, I was married by then.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I would not. She would not.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: As far as you know.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: No, I was married by then. It's my earlier days
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that I live in fear of.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Well, that's a good intro to how many different things
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: you've done over the years. I kind of wanted to
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: enter in on the one that maybe it's a toss
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: up what you're most known for now, but obviously podcast.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: I want to have a podcasting conference at this point
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: because you've been you're one of the few people I
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: can run into and go, oh, he's actually been doing
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: it longer than I have.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that's a plus or minus. We're
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: in our eighth year now.
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: So, yeah, it's I started to be 10 years in March.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy for both of us. It's crazy. I mean, because,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you know, as well as I do, you know, eight
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: years ago, nobody knew what a podcast was. Nobody cared.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And so what I would ask people to be a guest,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: they would be like, well, we just come to your
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: house and sit.
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: Around a dining room table.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And now we have a studio and everything. It's grown
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: over the years. But of course, we're talking about the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: award-winning Never Not Funny. So yes, I've been doing a podcast.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's what I'm most known for? I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: would think that it is at this point. Or Conan.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: I'm known for Conan.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: I think for the audience that's currently listening, probably because
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: they know podcasts. But if you go out in the world,
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: it may just be comedy. It may just be stand-up.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: I think it depends who you hit. Again, it may
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: be a generational thing, too.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: It's, you know, game show nerds know me because I
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: hosted a show called National Lampoon's Funny Money back in 2004. And,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: of course, National Lampoon's Funny Money, that's a game show
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: where big laughs get you big bucks and then get
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you canceled. And then I just hosted a game show
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: called Race to Escape. So game show nerds know me
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for that. Yeah. And then comedy nerds, I guess, know
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: me for comedy. And then podcasting is, everybody kind of.
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: Knows me from that.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: It's its own world now.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah. And then Conan, for, you know, a lot of
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: people know me from Conan, so.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: But that was my thing is wanting to discuss, again,
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: with somebody who understands and has made it work. I
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: think that's more of my question is what was the,
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: I guess, what was it that got you.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Into it first? What led you into podcasting? It's a
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: scary story.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I've told the story before, and I will repeat it
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: because it comes close to the territory of interesting.
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: I was doing a live at the UCB.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Again, I was doing a live talk show, or a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: better way to put it is a non-televised talk show.
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: Uh nowhere uh called uh.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Running your trap and a guy named matt belknap who
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: is now my co-host and producer for 10 years i
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: like that guy uh great guy and he was just
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a fan he was a guy that ran a special thing.com
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that the alternative comedy message board and he would come
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to a lot of shows at the m bar when
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: when comedy death ray which is now comedy bang bang
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: was at m bar then we moved to the ucb
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: when that opened uh and i moved over there because
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: i don't know if you know i i started in
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: chicago i started with matt besser and matt walsh and.
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: Horatio Sands.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I knew a little bit, and Adam McKay I knew,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and I did not know Amy Poehler, but Matt and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I would do open mics and stuff together. So when
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: they were bringing the UCB from New York to LA,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: they were like, hey, we want you to be part
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of the scene. We loved working with you in Chicago.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: And because they were new, they needed to fill time slots.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: So I was doing like three shows a month when
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: they first opened the UCB. And so I would do
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: game shows, and I would do talk show, and I
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: would host a stand-up thing, and whatever they needed me
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to do, so I was doing this talk show called
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Running Your Trap, and Matt Belknap became a huge fan,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and he would come and watch it, and he'd watch
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the game shows, he would watch whatever I was doing,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and And Ricky Gervais was doing a podcast at the time.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: About the only other person who can claim before.
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: And it's the only one that I had ever heard of.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: In fact, I remember after Ricky's, I was like, this
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: is a neat format. And then I ended up listening
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to old Abbott and Costello's because other than tech stuff,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: there really weren't a lot of podcasts. And I guess I,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: in a way, I want people that don't know me
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it's really unfair of me. It's, I want them to go, well,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: what's number not funny, Jimmy Porto? Oh, I'll listen to that.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Yet I didn't give anybody else a chance when I
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: started listening to podcasts. Like Dawn and Drew were a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: big podcast, but I didn't even give them a second.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: The first one I heard about was music themed. And like,
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: it was a guy who I actually knew who was
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: like a DJ or was pretending to be a DJ
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: and started like putting together his own mixes and he
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: was releasing them as episodes. And I was like, Wait,
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: what the hell? So I went in thinking it was
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: mostly music oriented. And it was like six or eight
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: months later, I heard the first one of people talking
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: and went, oh, this is what you can do.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, these guys are terrible. Hell, I can do better
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: than this. Isn't that funny? That was the first.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Thought I had. And I don't know anything about Dawn
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and Drew because I didn't listen to them. But again,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: they were popular at the time. And I'll circle back
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to that because it addresses what you just said. So
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Matt said, why don't we turn Running Your Trap into
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a podcast? And I don't.
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: I didn't know what that meant.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, I knew Ricky Gervais had one, but I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: didn't know I could have one.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: They were issued to you, or you had to get
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: a license.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the podcasting authority is going to give it to you.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: But Matt was also doing a thing called AST Radio,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: which was a dry, and I say dry in a complimentary,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: about the craft of comedy. And so he interviewed me
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: for that, and then he said to me, you know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I would have a heck of a lot more fun
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: producing your podcast than hosting mine. So why don't we
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: turn Running Your Trap into a podcast? So the first couple,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: which are long, burned, he recorded, we recorded just my
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: live show at the UCB. And I think there's a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: clip online on YouTube of me talking about that. And
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: then got away from that and said, let's just do
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it like a radio show. So we started it at
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: my dining room. Me and Matt and Mike Schmidt was
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the third person for the first year. And to speak
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to what you said about people being good at it,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: nobody knew what a podcast was really except for tech people.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: So we had a professional sounding show, you know, hosted
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: by a professional comedian with another professional comedian is the,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: is the, uh, basically it's a cohost for the first
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: year with a, with the professional comedians coming out as guests.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And it sounds, so it sounded great.
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: And it was funny.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: So all these tech people were like, Oh, somebody is
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: finally not just talking to the microphone on their computer.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: And we shot up the chart and the people at
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: iTunes took a light guy, specifically a guy named Scott Simpson, uh,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: took a liking to us.
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: And so he would feature us all the time.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So for, I would say the first three to four months,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it wasn't, it was some comedy people from AST special thing.com.
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: Cause Matt was able to promote it there.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: But it was mostly tech people who were fine because they,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: they're the ones that knew about podcasting.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: And if you listen to them, even like, I will
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: see people very tech oriented on YouTube, put together a clip.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: I'm like, good God, this is the most boring thing
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: I've ever, like they know the tech end of it,
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: but they're not necessarily entertaining. So hearing guys who were,
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: it's probably a big change at that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It was. And you know, and, and then Corolla came
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: quick after they started turning his morning radio show into a,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you know, into a podcast.
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: And then, He, of course, the legal stuff that happens.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: And now, of course, you know, it's where we are
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: with podcasting, where it's I like to say I'm the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: beta tape because VHS is now more popular.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's had a comeback. I don't know about beta.
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: Well, it's a better quality, better format.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: It didn't have the big cool boxes.
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: Well, that was, I mean, that was the thing getting
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: into where I did, and then I wanted to see
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: what was, I guess that was the turning point for
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: you was just getting featured, or is it, because that's what,
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: I'm looking at it now, because now, because we were
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: doing relatively well back when there weren't that many. And
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: like three years ago, there started to be this shift,
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: or maybe even a little before that, when suddenly everybody
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: started to figure out what it was.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Everybody started going, oh, I can do that too. And then,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Everybody had a show.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: And this last year and a half, like literally, like
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: for a while, I didn't know of anyone else here
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: doing it. Now there's like 20 guys that I just
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: know about. There's 50 others I don't know about. That
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: have all sprung up in the last year and a half,
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: two years. So I'm like, now how do we define ourselves?
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: How do we get, as any show, how do you
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: get out there and find your audience when you're lost
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: in the sea of other shows?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, right?
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: And we got caught in that week too.
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Because everybody that was like a guest on my show
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: now has a podcast.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: And, you know, we did our, so it was not
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: a disservice, because at the time, podcasting hadn't taken off yet,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: where we went to a pay format.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: And so we ended up going behind this paywall literally
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: three months before the comedy podcast boom happened. So it
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: was like we would battle it out with The Onion
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: for the top spot, you know, with me and The Onion,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and there was a couple more that were in the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: top five, but like we would all, the five of
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: us would basically rotate for the top comedy podcast.
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: You all right, Luce? All right.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And, um, and then all of a sudden we go
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: behind the paywall because I just, I felt like, honestly,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I felt like I was doing cable access. Like I,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: here I am this professional comedian who's been on television,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: who's tours the country and I'm doing this thing at my.
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: Dining room table.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: And I kind of felt like a, you know, like
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a pathetic idiot.
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: Like who's listening.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I know people are listening, but you know, right. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: it's like, so why bother? And so we decided to
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: go to this pay format and, um, At the time,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was a combination of, you got it, man.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: You're the funniest guy in the world. You're the greatest
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: show in the world. We're here to support you, and
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: go fuck yourself. The last thing I'm going to do
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: is pay you for a podcast because people don't pay
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: for podcasts.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: That's what I was going to ask. Did you see
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: a massive drop-off? Oh!
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: It was... We didn't see a huge drop-off. Although we
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: were prepared for that, we even said, if it's a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: huge drop-off, we tried it, and we'll bail on it.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: And we gave it a try, and good luck to podcasting,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: something that will never last.
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: We're in 10 years now.
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: But.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Uh, yo, we got just, we got hate mail and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: people would review us on, on, on iTunes. Just saying
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: this show sucks. They charge money. Well, you know what?
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: When doesn't have anything to do with the show, right?
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: Dumbass.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Um, but then we, you know, we, but we, then
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: all these other podcasts came, you know, Hardwick and, and
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Aukerman had been doing his, of course, and Doug Benson.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: And then here comes Mark Marin and all these guys. And,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, Marin had that Carlos Mencia controversy.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And then, uh, uh, Hardwick had Tom Hanks and, Scott.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: And so like we started getting passed by and fine
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: because we went behind this paywall.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And so we're kind of, we kind of became this
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: neat cult podcast and, um, you know, we just kept
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: going and, you know, here we are. And, you know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: it's a, you know, I know our numbers at some
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: point suffered because of that didn't listenership, but you know,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: we're here now. And, uh, doing a 10 years and,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I, people still say we're the best. And
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I am flattered by that.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: I want to figure out what do you think? Cause I,
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: I keep telling people, I'm like, there's a change coming.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Like media has already changed and the people haven't caught
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: up with it yet. I'm like, five years, maybe like,
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: I think we're going to hit a hard corner because
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: it's funny. Like that, that's what I'm going to ask
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: you is what, what do you think will legitimize it
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: at some point? Cause I still feel like, like people
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: will look at what we're doing as ridiculous, but a
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: real job is radio, like traditional radio. And I will
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: listen to some talk and regular music related. And it's
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: some of the worst things I've ever heard. Like they're,
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: What they're presenting out there to the masses as a
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: quote-unquote real job is sometimes horrible.
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, it's atrocious.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: So, I mean, why is it that they're treated as
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: though they actually have a real job and we're just
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: a joke?
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. You know what? Well, I think... You know,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I make fun of the fact that everybody, you know,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: acts like Sarah Koenig invented podcasting with cereal, but she
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: did put a spotlight on it, you know? So she
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: made it.
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: That made a huge difference.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Maren getting the president made a huge difference. Pretty
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: big deal. So all of a sudden, you know.
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: I think more and more people know about podcast. But
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: even my.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Dad will still say, how's the pod going?
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: He doesn't know what it is. And that's all right.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: It's not for him.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: I run into that a lot.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: How's your little thing going? Do you still get that?
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: But I think it's going to be... I think it's
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: going to be one of these.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Almost like the stand-up comedy boom of the late 80s,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: early 90s, where everybody had one. Everybody was going to
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: be a comedian. Any a-hole that was told they were
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: funny around the office started doing comedy. And you know,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: as cliched as it is, the cream rises, and then
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the rest just go, well, I gave it a shot.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: So I think that's going to happen with podcasting, too.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Or people will keep doing it, and their 10 friends
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: will listen. And that's what's great about podcasting.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: It will get to that point at some point. If
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: everyone has a show, there's no one left to be
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: the listener.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Exactly, right?
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: But I'm also waiting to decide, because you have ads now.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: I think advertising is going to make that corner happen,
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: I think. We're still getting such weird fringe companies.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: God bless them.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I love them.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: But the fact that mainstream stuff is still kind of
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: like your little joke, no, we're not going to bother
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: with that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Which is, I agree with you. It's going to change.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Because if we use Mark Merritt as the example, he
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: had the president on.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: So why wouldn't Pepsi be? I would not.
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: Why is it still stamps.com?
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: And, and when we're, when you're listening, cause that's the thing, TV,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: I will tune out. I will not watch those ads.
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: I will mute it if I need to. Like I
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: never do that on podcasts. No matter what the ad is,
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: I don't bother to fast forward.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of trouble. I'm like, I just listen
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: to the ad.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And it's usually over within, unless you're on my show
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and I make my ads 45 minutes long.
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: Cause I just like talking. Um, They're gone.
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: They're there.
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: Stamps.com. You walk through it, and they're like, oh, okay,
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: you know what? I'm either going to use it or
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: I'm not.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: And as myself, I'm like, I appreciate whatever that company
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: is because they're bothering to sponsor.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Something like this. And I think they're on the cutting edge, too,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the companies that are using it. And they're smart because
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: they know they don't have to drop huge money to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: be advertising on, you know, terrestrial.
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: It's a word that's tough for me to say. But
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: they're smart.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: You know, Casper Mattress or Harry's Razors.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: You know, NatureBox.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: These are all smart companies that they know, like even.
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: With my show, they're reaching a lot of people.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: It's a specific audience and it's a captive audience. And
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: it's in your ear. You're not going to escape from
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: it until the show's over.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Like Mack Weldon is a great example of like, they
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: listen to my show and they know that I give
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of effort to the ads. So like, well,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: you know, and they see the results, the return. Jimmy
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Pardo has fun with our ads and therefore, and his
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: followers are loyal. So if we advertise there, it's not
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: a huge amount of money to advertise, but yet we get.
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: A great return.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: So I think the bigger companies will figure that out.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Yet I love these small companies. Adam and Eve, I think,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: was our very first one. No, no, we had a
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: small independent lingerie company. And the guy's like, hey, you
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: know what? You joked about having an advertiser. I'd be
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: happy to advertise. And he It was a very little
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: amount of money, but we had fun with it, and
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: it really wasn't for our show, but we tried it.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: Well, it's funny that that was, and it seems like
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: that would be the, like, we don't care where we advertise,
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: because that, I mean, the huge boom with Flashlight there
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: for a while, like, that's the only place you ever
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: heard about it, but it had such a huge impact,
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: I'm sure, on their company, because where else do you
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: advertise stuff like that?
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: And what was the other one, the grill that you
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: would put on, for the trucker to put on their engine?
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: That was a big advertising one for a while.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: We need George Foreman. That's what we need.
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we have him.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Where's that at?
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: We need the boxer.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: I feel like that system has to change. It's just
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: such a fight.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: So I was, yeah, I just kind of wanted to
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: get your take on it from at least a slight
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: step ahead. You're way ahead of most people doing what
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: we do.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: But I think it's also, to speak to what you said,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: you know, like Alec Baldwin has a podcast. Yeah. And
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Joe Rogan. And I think the more famous people that
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: have it, it'll bring your larger advertisers. Yet at the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: same time, hey, Alec Baldwin and Joe Rogan, go do
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: your career podcast.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Leave us alone.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: You already have a career.
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: Stay out of mine.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Like, I just had the great comedy legend David Steinberg
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: on my show. And he has a podcast. And I
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: was like, David, you're directing Curb Your Enthusiasm. Get out
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: of my world.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: You don't need to do this. Stop messing with my stuff.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: This is me. This is for us.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: That's another point. And actually, the guest last week brought
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: this up. He was like, it's such a weird little circle.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: And you mentioned this, too, that now everyone that was
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: on your show has a show, do you feel, especially
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: in the L.A. scene, do you feel like it's become
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: such a vicious little circle?
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: It's very incestuous.
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: Is it doing any good anymore? It's the same people
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: on all the shows over and over again.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I argue, my head, here, how can I
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: put this? My heart gets furious when I have, like
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I think I'll get somebody out, quote unquote, out of
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the box. I'm like, oh, we got this guest. And
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, oh, he's on Hardwick this week, too,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and he's on this this week. This guest that I
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: thought was going to be the... So my heart gets mad,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: but my head knows it makes no difference because... It's
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: different people. David Steinberg and Jimmy Pardo is going to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: be different than he is with Chris Hardwick. So it's
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: going to be different. It's a different energy in the room.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So it does not... My heart is annoyed by it.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: My head understands it's not that big of a deal.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: That's what I was telling the guests last week. I
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: was like, I think we get such different people.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: On this show.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: And sometimes... bigger names than I will see people in L.A. get,
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: and we still don't make the impact. And I'm like,
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: I don't understand. It's not even like the guest makes
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: the difference. Sometimes it's just the people that you know,
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: and that gets the word out to other shows and
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: other fans.
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: Well, I got news for you.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: You're going to get the famous Pardo bump from this one.
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: Let's do that.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Yafit Kodo got you, but Pardo's
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: going to bring the numbers, baby.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Yafit Kodo, for God's sakes. And it's still... I mean,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: it's not much more than most of our other shows.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what is wrong with you people?
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: It's Yaffa Kodo.
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: No, when you had Yaffa Kodo, was he on the telephone?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: No, we sat down in a room with him.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: In his suite, which was not as impressive as yours.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: It was the presidential suite, but it wasn't overlooking the
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: wonderful city like this.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: So he was here in town, Yaffa Kodo, shooting some
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: sort of a motion picture?
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Indianapolis.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: But yeah, he was, again, like it's something like that
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: that you don't see pop up in that little world.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: And yet it's still such a fight to get the
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: word out about it.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: It's, it's more, especially in your world. I mean, you're
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: fighting with, and I, I talked about this with my buddy,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Pat Francis, who has the great rock solid podcast. Uh,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and he gets great musicians on it. He, and he
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: does a great job interviewing them and he battles what
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: you do. Like he just had Sammy Hagar on and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure he got a nice bump from it, but,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: He's competing with podcasts that are sponsored by USA Today
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: or Entertainment Weekly, and it's the same for you in movies.
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: If I'm new to podcasting, and I'm like, oh, I
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: hear about podcasts, and I love movies, and this is
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: no disrespect for you, and I think you know where
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I'm coming from.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to listen to yours, because I'm not,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: not because I'm, it's because I'm stupid. I'm going to go, oh, well,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Entertainment Weekly probably has the better movie one, because that's
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: a respectable magazine. Who's this jackass from Louisville? Yeah. I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: think it just takes time for people to go, oh,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I like this one by Entertainment Weekly.
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: Oh, this guy's got Yaffa Kodo. I'll try that one.
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: So I think it'll be a trickle down.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: I keep hoping people come to their senses.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Well, here it comes this week. This is the one.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: This is the game changer right here. Suck it, Kodo.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: That's what I'll say to you. No, I'm not nuts.
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: He was in Midnight Run, right? Oh, yeah. And he
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: was wonderful.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: He's amazing.
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: That might be crazy. We're still deciding. He was a
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: fabulous guest. He's very special, that Yaffa.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: He's a great actor he was fantastic actor he is
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: great actor.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: He's still semi-retired I don't remember how he put.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: It oh is that true he doesn't even want to
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: be in the country anymore is the way he put
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: it by the end he's not thrilled with the way
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: things are going so yeah again surprised that he's doing
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: any sort of press if I consider myself.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: That that's a strong word I kind of.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: Don't because I'm like that's what and dealing with even
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: people here that do like the film fest and stuff
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: and I'm like They're.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Like, oh, you do interviews. And I'm like, we're not
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: like red carpet. Like we're not normal traditional press.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: Like this thing we're doing right now is totally different
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: than most press anywhere else in the world. Like podcasting
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: is just different than every other form. So it's trying
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: to convince even people in some level of the industry
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: sometimes as a fight.
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: So.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: Well, we've got the podcasting up. But again, it's one
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: of the few times I have somebody who understands.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: And you know what? Maybe if 10 people found that entertaining,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: that's a win.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: Well, again, I think it's the world we're heading into.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: And I think the more people realize how this system works,
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: the more maybe they'll go, oh, we should probably support
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: these because they're putting together quality entertainment versus some of
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: the mainstream crap that's out there. that like i'd be
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: way more you know willing as a listener to want
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: to support something like that and just go along with
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: free stuff that's also terrible.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Well but free is easy and it's what they've known
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: all their lives and and there's a great you know
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: bob and tom although bob retired but You know, they've
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: been great for decades. And there's other great, you know, Tyler, whatever,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: out of Omaha. There's great, you know, a horrible name,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: but Free Bear and Hot Wings is a great morning show. Like,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: there's great, there are great, Steve Dahl in Chicago is
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: a genius. There's great, Bill Leff in Chicago, Brian Noonan.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: There's great radio people. But for the most part, it's like,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I'll hear, even in Los Angeles, oh, Kevin and me
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: are great.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: But there's a morning show that I won't give the name,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Heidi and Frank. And they, uh, I don't know how
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: they're in Los Angeles. It's like, they, it's like, this
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: is Los Angeles and this is the best you got.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: It's just amateur hour. And somehow they're putting it out
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: on the radio.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: And they've been on for 30 years and people listen
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: to them every day. And, and I'm sure they're great
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: people and they're nice people. It's not my, by the way,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: maybe they're great. It's just not my bag. It's not, uh,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It's not for me, but I didn't want to whitewash,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: because I think there are still great radio people out there.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there are.
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: But there's also junk.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of other crap. And it's the same
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: with podcasting. There's a lot of junk in podcasting, too.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Again, that's what I'm saying.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: Trying to distinguish what you're doing from the million other
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: kids in their basement.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: And I'm one of the kids in the basement. What
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: do I care?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I've got a studio in Sherman Oaks, California.
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: Not all of us get a fabulous studio.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Yet.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Bring it in.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: Yet.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Bring it in.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: I'm looking for him.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: But we can't do... To flip on that, we can't
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: do this.
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: Because we have a studio, we don't go.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: We'll do some live shows around the country, but if
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: somebody says, well, can you come to our office and record?
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: That's not what we do.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Whereas Marin went to Dick Van Dyke's house. Whereas when
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: we talked to Dick Van Dyke, we're like, no, he's
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: got to come to our studio. Was I smart to
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: do that? Probably not.
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: No, you dumbass.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Go to Dick Van Dyke's house.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Dick doesn't want to go anywhere. Dick hangs around the house.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Jesus.
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: Buy one of these and go to Dick Van Dyke's house,
• 31:43
  Speaker 9: you dillwad.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Well, we're all still learning then.

• 34:09
  Speaker 1: These people depend on tips for a living. From the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: director of Beverly Hills Cop, Midnight Run.
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: Hi, my name.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Is Jennifer Lawrence and you're listening to Movie Meltdown.
• 34:34
  Speaker 11: It's part of your problem, you know, you haven't seen
• 34:42
  Speaker 11: enough movies.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: And now, on with the show.
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: Music Well, okay, since we technically do talk about movies.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: I guess we can veer into, you have turned up
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: in stuff over the years. It made me think, do
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: you set out to do that? Because you went into comedy.
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: That's obviously what you were drawn to first, but was
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: there a plan to And I might do some acting too?
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Or was it just like they presented these opportunities?
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I actually went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: I studied acting. I thought, you know, it was in
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: the 80s.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: And, you know, it was like, even when I, my
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: son just, he was eight years old, but my wife,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: my wife mentioned Goonies in passing once. And my son just,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: it was the sweetest thing in the world. He said, Dad,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I know what I want to get mom for Christmas.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I want to get her Goonies. And we considered it
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: because mom loves it.
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: She mentioned it once.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: But it was so sweet, so we went and bought it,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: and we had a family movie night with Goonies. But
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the reason I bring it up is Goonies is exactly
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: that 80s movie that I would watch and go, I
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: want to be part of that. I want to be
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: in movies. And Goonies and Lost Boys and stuff like that.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: You know, obviously Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire and
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: all that nonsense. I didn't know that I wasn't pretty
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: enough to.
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: Be in movies, but.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: They let Judd Nelson in.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: But he was a handsome dude until he got drunk
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and bloated. I don't know anything about his life.
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: I don't know anything about... It was for humor.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: We're sorry, Judd. You can come on.
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: It's all right. So I studied acting.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: And even while I was there, my teachers would say,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: you know, you should go into comedy. You're a fine actor,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: but you should really be doing stand-up comedy or Second City.
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: And so when I moved.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: When I went back to Chicago after the first year
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: at the, at the Academy.
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: Which sounds so prestigious when I.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Put it that way, uh, the goal was just to
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: go back and see my family and spend the summer
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: back in Chicago, then come back out to LA.
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: This is again in the eighties.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: And, um, I went back to LA and turned 21
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: or I'm sorry. I went back to Chicago, turned 21,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: did my first open mic and did about five or six.
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: And it was like, I don't know if I'm ready
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: for this. And I kind of.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Bailed on that. And so I got a great job
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: with a record company. And hanging out with rock stars
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: and doing all the bullshit that you do when you
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: work for a record company. And yet, that wasn't filling
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the void. And so then, this is a long-winded way
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: to get to your answer.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: It's fine. That's what we're here for.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I then, well, you're very kind that day. And then
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: when I was doing this, and my boss gave me the,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: and I started doing open mics again to fill that
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: void that I needed to be doing comedy. And my
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: boss gave me the ultimatum of, you know, you got
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: to make a decision. Do you want to work for
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: MCA Records? You want to be a standup comedian? And
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the next day I came in and said, I'm going
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to be a comedian. And then when he, they had
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: all come to see me do a show like three
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: weeks before this. And when he announced at the morning
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: meeting that I was, that I gave my two week
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: notice that I was going to go into comedy, just
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: silence in the room because they, I sucked. I was horrible.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Take a sip for Christ's sake.
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: I'm so worried. I was horrible.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I was just, I was, I mean, I was, I
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: was new to comedy.
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: I sucked.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: And they saw me suck. And they didn't just like,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: even when you start, you have some good shows.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: They didn't see one of those. They saw one of
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the worst. And so when I decided I was going
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: to quit, like it was the most uncomfortable, you know,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: people not making eye contact and people like, you know, go,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: that's great, man. Good for you, man. Yeah. Love your dream.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I walked out of the room. What the
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: fuck is he thinking? Like they had to think that.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: So I went in, I started doing standup and then
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: moved to LA. And then again, to answer your question, uh,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: I would audition a lot for commercials when I first
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: moved to LA. I auditioned a lot for situation comedy. Uh,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not, uh, I'm not.
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: A good auditioner. I'm a horrible auditioner.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: It's its own battle there.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: It really is.
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: It's its own world.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: And people, some people are great at it and some
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: people suck at it and, uh, some are bad at
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: it and then they just have a great one. And
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: like my friend Ty Burrell from modern family, uh, it
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: talked on my podcast about how auditioning is the worst
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: experience in the world. And the fact that they, You've
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: got to go in, and there's people sitting on a couch,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: you know, like judges, staring at you with no warmth,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and you have to be the most relaxed and comfortable
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: you've ever been in a life and know the material.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: And it's like they put everything against you, yet you
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: have to be more relaxed than you've ever been in
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: your life to get that role.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: And it's no representation of your skill either.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: It's really not.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: Because you can be a great– you can do great
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: at auditions, but– You can be a terrible actor.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Or vice versa. You can be the greatest actor in
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: the world and just suck at auditions.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if I'm– I think I'm an
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: average actor, but I know I'm a horrible auditioner based
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: on the fact that I've gotten six roles in my life.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: And they've always been like the perfect roles. Even when
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I read it, it's like, oh, I'll get this one.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: This is me.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: And there's only been one or two where I read
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: it– I joke now that I look back at when
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I was auditioning a lot for commercials and which I don't,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I stopped doing those cause they're just so degrading to
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: audition for. Um, and, uh, and I never, I never
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: had that big payoff that some commercial actors get where,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: you know, they, they get that national spot and they
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: make a hundred thousand dollars. And it's like, well, you know,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: for three hours of work, uh, I've never, I never
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: had that.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: We don't have old footage of you in a Burger
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: King cap.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: They always drag out the old.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I did rallies. There you go.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: Uh, no wonder you didn't get it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: It was like in four markets. Um, but, uh, I
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: look back at myself from those times, you know, I
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: was still drinking and I was, uh, not in shape.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: And so I look back at pictures of me and, and,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: or footage of me and I'm just, I looked drunk
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: and bloated in all these shots. Like, well, I wouldn't
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: have hired me. No matter how good my audition was,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have hired me. So I ended up getting some,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know about movie roles. I mean,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: I was in Dreamgirls and I got cut out of Dreamgirls,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: which was a bummer. You know, I thought that was
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: going to be a neat, not that it would have
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: been career changing in any way, just the idea of
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: being in Dreamgirls, like this great, you know, musical. And,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: you know, I just imagine people watching Dreamgirls and going,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: This is great. Is that Jimmy Carter?
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. What the hell is Jimmy Carter with this?
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: I know that guy.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: What was your role?
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: What's interesting is it was a role that in the
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: script throughout the movie, whenever the dreams or I forget,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: it's Jimmy, whatever Eddie Murphy's character, Jimmy something in the dreams.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: It was all done by voiceover. And so the director,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: I can't pull it. I think the same guy did Chicago, right?
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: He said, Is it Bill Conlin? Does that sound right
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: to anybody?
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: That sounds right.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: But did he do Dreamgirls? Is it that guy?
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: This involves Google.
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: And I can't be one of those actors. You know,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: when Bill had me on the set, I can't even
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: be that a-hole. But he had the idea of, because
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: this particular one, this particular voiceover was when the dreams
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: left Eddie Murphy's character to go out on their own.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: His idea was, well, that one should be special. We
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: should have a, instead of using a V.O., uh, for
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: that transition. Let's have a human being do it. And, um,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: so he hired, I didn't even audition. He saw tape
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: of me somewhere and he goes to, and he's, and
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: my agent got the call.
• 42:24
  Speaker 9: Saying, Hey, they want you to be in dream girls.
• 42:26
  Speaker 9: And like what?
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: And they go, yeah. So, uh, I had to block
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: off two weekends cause they didn't know when I was
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: going to work it. And, uh, and in fact, one,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: I had to cancel Lexington because I, uh, and of
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: course that was.
• 42:37
  Speaker 9: The weekend they didn't need me.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: So I'm sitting at home going, I could be at
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Lexington to make money. Uh, So I was, uh, I
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: got to the set and they were doing this huge, uh,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: when I arrived, they were on the, uh, that's not true.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Annika Rose, I believe is her name was Annika Rose.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: The third, it was a Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce and the
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: third one. She was getting her makeup done. And then
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: they went and I was, I got there like, you know,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: typical Hollywood story. I got there like at four.
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: In the morning. And I literally have one line.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I have, you know, ladies and gentlemen, the crystal ballroom
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: is proud to present for the first time ever, the dreams.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: That was my line. And I was like, well, Jesus Christ,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I'll be done by 445, you know? And so, and
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: that was the plan. Like if you looked at the
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: shoot schedule, it was that. Well, the lighting people that
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: day lit for the dance number. And it's a dance thing,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: which is maybe one of the, it's like one of
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: the three biggest scenes in Dreamgirls that they shot from
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: five Till midnight. And I'm not... It was literally that long.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: But when I got there, you're up first, but you
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: rushed me into makeup. So I'm in makeup for 18 hours.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there to do one line.
• 43:44
  Speaker 9: I live.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: three blocks away from where they're shooting. And I kind
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: of go, guys, I literally live three blocks from here.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: Just call me.
• 43:50
  Speaker 9: Let me go home.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: If you call me, and.
• 43:52
  Speaker 9: Then they're like, no, we can't take the risk.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Is it Bill? Did you look it up?
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: It is, in fact, Bill Condon. It is, in fact,
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: Annika Rose.
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: And what is it?
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: Annika Rose.
• 43:59
  Speaker 9: Annika Rose.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Nailed it. So they're like, no, no, we can't take
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: the risk. What if he just wants to sneak it
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: in at some point?
• 44:05
  Speaker 9: And I'm like, Jesus Christ.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: So I'm waiting in my, I'm in my trailer all
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: day long and I'm in my, you know, in my, uh, uh,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: you know, period attire and, uh, just sitting there and I,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: you know, they even told me he's going to be
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: in and out in a few, most at most two,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: three hours.
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: So I don't even, I didn't even bring like a
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: book with me.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I got nothing. You're sitting there like going to solitary
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: confinement and just going nuts. And, and so then, uh,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: I would go and watch them shoot, uh, sometimes to
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: watch it, which was neat to see. And, um, and
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: then finally it was like at 1145, uh, They was like,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I think somebody finally.
• 44:38
  Speaker 9: Went, Bill, you've got to get this guy. You've got
• 44:40
  Speaker 9: to do something here.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: And so they lit for me, and it was a
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: beautiful shot. I was lucky enough to see them play
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: it back, where it was just this one light hitting
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: me on the side and delivering that line.
• 44:54
  Speaker 9: I did two takes.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: And that's a wrap for Jimmy Pardo and Beyonce and
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Hudson and Etika. They're literally like four feet away from,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I go, I go, that's an 18 hour day right there, guys.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: And the whole place was laughing that it literally took
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: four minutes and it looked beautiful. And then my agent
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: got the call saying that for consistency, Bill's going to
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: go with that VO, uh, throughout the whole thing. But
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: I still get residuals because I was credited or I
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: guess on IMDB, it says I was uncredited, but, um,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I was credited, and so I still get money for
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: this thing, and so it comes up often. But it
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: was a great experience, even though I just shit all
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: over it. But it was neat to say that I
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: was in Dream, even though I wasn't in it. Then
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: I thought I was hoping it was going to show
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: up on the DVD, like in all the extras, and
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: then with some commentary like, this guy was fantastic, we
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: just couldn't, like I was hoping for that, and then nothing.
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: We couldn't stand this performance. We took it out immediately.
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: At least then it would be on there, though.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: This dick sat around for 18 hours and then phoned
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: it in with these two takes.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: We knew we were going to cut the line. We
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: just wanted to see how long he'd sit there.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: It was almost like a torture experiment.
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: They had a camera running on you the whole day going, look,
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: he's still just staring at the wall. Oh, he got
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: a cup of coffee.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: Look at him.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Some live stream going out to people. Asshole waiting for
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: his part.
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: That's how they funded Dream Girl.
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Your reward.
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: You pledge, you get to watch this guy as we
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: torture him all day long. Well, and that's one of
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: those you never kind of know. Like, you can't tell, oh,
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: my scene's not important.
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: It'll probably be. So, I mean, you assume.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Well, when I got the script, I thought, where's my role? So,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: in a way, I was like, well, how important is that? Yet,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: when I got there and they explained why they wanted
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: me there, it's like, oh, that is important. Because it
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: is really, it's the turning point of these girls being
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: backup singers to being stars. I was like, holy shit,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: even though it's one line, what a.
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: This is the introduction of the whole rest of the movie.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: But I get why it was cut.
• 46:49
  Speaker 9: I wasn't angry.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: I was disappointed, but I wasn't angry by any means.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: But to speak to what you said earlier, I was
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: just given the role. I didn't audition for it. And
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: then the other movie, oh, damn it, that I did with,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: but I was given that role as well. Whenever I'm
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: given something I do okay, it's that auditioning that, clunks
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: it all up.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: I don't know they need a new system yeah well
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: then again it's like do you do you want to
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: do more of that specifically or is it just one
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: of those like enough that you'll be pursuing it or
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: is it just something no if.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I get offered like I just got offered Peter Pardini
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: who was kind enough to include me in the documentary
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: on the band Chicago yeah is a filmmaker.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: I hear you're a little bit of a fan I
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: like the.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Band and thrilled that they're getting in the Hall of
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Fame uh but Peter was kind enough to include me
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: in like, he's got some celebrities and I throw that
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: in quotes because of me, but he's got Joe Mantegna
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: and the guy that owns the Dodgers and he's got
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: some other.
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: Folks and then me.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: And then he is doing this faux documentary and he
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: asked me if I would be in it. And, uh,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: so of course I said, yeah, you know, it was
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: very flattering. I play a detective and it's, uh, you know, it's,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: it's done documentary style. So it's, you know, it's, it's not,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: it's not heavy acting, but, but he was smart enough
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: to know that I think Jimmy Purtle would be.
• 48:12
  Speaker 9: Funny in this role. And, and I saw some footage.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: It's good. It's decent. So, but again, I was given it,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like, oh, and again, people and, and I, and,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I appreciate that Peter was kind enough to
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: include me in the Chicago thing.
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: And then also in this.
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Well, that's, yeah.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, anything that you can put yourself in the
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: middle of that.
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: But as you know, but, the movie world's a whole
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: different world. You know, like sitcoms and stuff like that.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: You know, I auditioned a lot for those and, uh,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: and I would land a role here or there, you know, uh,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: not a lot, you know, one every couple of years.
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: Uh, and then I just stopped auditioning altogether.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: And, uh, the last thing I did was again, somebody,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: a show called true Jackson VP, uh, where that girl's.
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: Now she's gonna be in Greece, uh, Greece live. What
• 48:55
  Speaker 9: the heck is her name? Uh, African-American beautiful. Uh, Oh
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: damn it.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: It was her show. Uh, But I was just given that, too.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: The guy was a fan of mine and said, I
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: think you'd be funny. And they even worked out, it
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: was during an off week of Conan, where he was like, oh,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: you're off that week. And then they worked their schedule
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: to do that episode the.
• 49:16
  Speaker 9: Week I was off.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: And like it's not even that big of a role
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: but it's like jesus christ thank you.
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: That's cool yeah well then you again you're you're doing
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: tv that type of stuff is that more enjoyable because
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: again the the movie story is grueling but like TV
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: is its own weird little system too.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: Is that an easier system to work in?
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think it is. And again, it's because I'm,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: other people love it. They love the idea of getting
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: there at six in the morning and just, that's their day.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: I can't stand it. It just drives me crazy. So
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I kind of just get there going, well, I hope
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: this ends soon. I don't enjoy the, now to contradict that,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: I love hosting. And so I've hosted game shows and
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: stuff all through the years. And that, I could be
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: there every day from 6 to 6 and love every second.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Because you're moving and you're doing something. There's also, when
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: you do a guest role on a sitcom, that's a family.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: And you're coming into the family.
• 50:13
  Speaker 9: They all know each other. They're all there.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: You're the outsider. And I've had great experiences. Nobody ever
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: treats me. That 70 show, they were great to me. Becker,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: they were great to me. I mean, Ted Danson treated
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: me like I was there every week. But you're still
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: not there every week. And as the guest, you have
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: your table read, and then you have rehearsals and rehearsals,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: and then you rehearse it during the day, then you
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: rehearse it a second time, then you show it to
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: producers every day. And after that, they could either cut
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: your role because it's not necessary, or they could replace
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: you because they don't think you're doing it. So it's
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: like you're never fucking comfortable.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: You always, when you're a guest star, at least for me,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: and I know other actors that feel this way, you
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: always feel like, oh, I could be replaced at any
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: given moment. I better do okay. And so it's like, again,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: it's like, I can't be great because I'm scared I'm
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: going to get fired.
• 51:00
  Speaker 9: I don't want to be embarrassingly fired. Yeah.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: That's what I think of if that's your whole career.
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: When I'm just dealing with actors and hearing their stories,
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: I'm like, your whole life is like that when that's here.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: It's all like that.
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: At least you have regular gigs and you're booking more stuff.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: But those guys, that's every day for them.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. My dad never really– my dad's a guy
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: from Chicago who at one point had three jobs to
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: support us and going to school and whatever he did
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: to make our lives better. And my mom was more
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: supportive of me when I first started doing comedy. My
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: dad was a little hesitant because he's my dad and protective.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: That's kind of his job.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: It's his job.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: Tell you to go get a real job.
• 51:37
  Speaker 9: So he came out to L.A.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: And and he stayed with me and he saw what
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: I was going with the auditioning and this. And he's like, oh,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: my God, you guys work every day. You go to
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: a job interview every day and you're told no every day.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: You're told yes.
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: Once in a blue moon.
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, I had no idea. This is
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: how it's a yes. It sucks. It's a terrible job.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: It's awful what I've chosen to do.
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: But I don't... I love hosting television.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: I don't... If I was given a series regular role,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: or even if I auditioned, if somebody called me up
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: and said, this is the perfect Jimmy Carter role, please audition.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: I would probably fight it tooth and nail and probably
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: go and hope to God I'd do okay. And if
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: I got the role and I was a series regular,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: I think I could relax into it and have fun
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: doing it. I just don't... I have fun hosting and, and, um, uh,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I've had the pleasure of, I, I, I
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: auditioned for Mad Men, uh, basically once a season. I
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: did not audition in the last season, but I auditioned
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: once a season. Um, uh, because my friend John Hamm
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: is of course the star and Matthew Weiner, uh, uh,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: my name is Matthew Weiner. That's how stupid I am. Uh,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: it's apparently a fan of mine and he had a
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: role of a comedian, uh, maybe season two. And he
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: called me in for Jimmy. The character's name was Jimmy.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: With the potato chips. He was doing a sponsorship for
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: potato chips. But it was this huge role. And so
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: John calls me up and he goes, Matthew Wiener's about
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: to call you. You're going to come in and audition.
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: I'm like, okay. And I get my audition.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: It's like nine pages. It's like, first of all, I'm
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: not good.
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: I'm not good.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: I want to, I want to be able to remember stuff.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. I can't, you know, there's, so I
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: walk over to the audition. It is, it's the guy
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: who got the role. It's Jonathan Silverman. It's all these
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: people you recognize and this Dilwad. And, you know, admittedly
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: I got a little intimidated, but I gave a decent
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: audition for that. That then Matthew kept calling me back
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: year after year for these different roles. And he kept
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: on bringing me in for these giant roles, like these,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Because he loved me so much. And he's like, and
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I finally, I go, just let me be the Xerox
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: guy who comes in and says, here's your new machine.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I go, I want to be on Mad Men. You
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: want me on Mad Men. Give me one line.
• 53:53
  Speaker 9: He goes, I don't want to disrespect you like that.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Give me, disrespect me.
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: I don't care.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Give me one line to be on Mad Men.
• 53:58
  Speaker 9: But he would always give me these huge roles that
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: he'd want me to be.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm flattered that he thought it. But you'd think
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: by the fourth time of me not getting it, it's like,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: just give him the Xerox guy.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: You're suddenly Rob Schneider in the middle of this episode.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I'll be more than happy to do it.
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: Making copies.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Making copies.
• 54:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so that's my acting career.
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: Well, I also like to cross over and get people's
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: take as a viewer, too. So I know on the
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: show you talk a lot about documentaries. Are you specific
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: to documentaries, or what do you prefer that you watch
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: as far as just movies?
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: It depends what mood I'm in. If I'm just at
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: home and my wife and son have gone to bed,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: There's something about just putting a documentary on and quote-unquote
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: learning something. Oh, that's trouble. Is that a bad spot?
• 54:45
  Speaker 9: But I guess, you know, I don't.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Know if I'm... You know, we just watched, with my son,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: we just watched Ring the Boom, or whatever the hell
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: that's called, that Kevin James movie.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 54:55
  Speaker 9: And is it good?
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: No.
• 54:56
  Speaker 9: Did I think it was great? Yes, I enjoyed it.
• 54:58
  Speaker 9: You know what I mean?
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: It's like I sat there and laughed like an idiot.
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: That's everything with Kevin James, though, because I think he's
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: really talented. He is, right, but But they always give
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: him the dumbest roles and the dumbest projects. And I'm like,
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: he's so much better than this.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: And I stand behind Paul Blart, too. I thought it
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: was really funny.
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: I haven't even seen that one yet because it looks
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: so bad. They always look bad.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: They look horrible. Now, in fairness, I'm there with my
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: son who's laughing like crazy. And so maybe I'm caught
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: up in that a little bit. So maybe Paul Blart
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: 2 stinks. Although I brought it up on my show
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: and everybody that saw it as well, Jimmy, you're right.
• 55:27
  Speaker 9: It's really funny.
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: I guess I'm going to have to get to it.
• 55:31
  Speaker 9: It's good.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm with you. I think Kevin James is a good, comedic,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: physical actor who just is kind of dismissed.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: But I can't knock him because those are huge paychecks.
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: I'm like, would I be making Mall Cop 3? Hell yeah.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, damn right I would.
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: But like going in, watching it as a viewer, having
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: some sort of artistic integrity, not that I have, but.
• 55:52
  Speaker 6: I'm just like, I wouldn't want to make this. I
• 55:54
  Speaker 6: wouldn't want to be in it, but would I cash
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: that check?
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: Hell yeah, I would.
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: So I won't knock him for it.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Paul Barthew's good, though. Don't whitewash that. If you want
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: to go grown-ups, too, yeah, you can crap all over that.
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: They're all cashing a paycheck there.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Or Pixels. Oh, good lord, was that horrible. But I like,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: you know, depending on what it is. I literally am
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: excited about The Finest Hours, the new Disney movie, because
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: I somehow... I go crazy for any movie that has
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: a wave in it.
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: Well, and it was real. I just saw one of the...
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: There's one surviving member of the original crew.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute.
• 56:26
  Speaker 9: They die?
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Don't tell me the story.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: It was a long time ago.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: Literally, they all.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Just like the Titanic. They're all 80.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: That's why it was one surviving member.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: All right, very good. Thank you.
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: Other than that, it's a happy ending. It's fine.
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: But actually i don't really know what happened to the
• 56:41
  Speaker 6: rest but again i'm assuming it's just because.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: They're all really old thank you for saving that but
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: i wasn't.
• 56:46
  Speaker 6: I try not to spoil things until i tell people
• 56:48
  Speaker 6: but um yeah he that's what i was like i
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: thought maybe it was just something they came up with
• 56:53
  Speaker 6: but the fact that it is based on like one
• 56:55
  Speaker 6: of the most successful and daring rescues that ever happened
• 57:00
  Speaker 6: i'm like oh well again sometimes the real factor makes
• 57:02
  Speaker 6: it more interesting yeah i.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Or even like The Revenant, where it says based on
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: a true story, it's like, well, there's no way that
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: guy dropped 100 feet onto his back and got up
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: and ran.
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of license in that one, probably.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: But it's still like, all I can say is based
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: on a true story, it's like, well, some of this
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: came from somewhere, so I'm more invested. You know, I
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: like anything, I guess, to answer your question.
• 57:24
  Speaker 9: You know, I don't know. You know, just a guy.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Watching movies.
• 57:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: By the way, I'm talking so much, I'm starting to
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: think that the only reason Lucy's coughing is so we
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: know she's still alive.
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: Do you have anything specific, Lucy?
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: I'm so sorry. I feel terribly that I'm doing that.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Who cares?
• 57:41
  Speaker 9: I don't care.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: It's his show.
• 57:43
  Speaker 6: Usually I'm lucky to get some second to join me,
• 57:46
  Speaker 6: so I'm just used to yammering on the whole time. Again,
• 57:49
  Speaker 6: I always tell her.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Just jump in whenever. I don't care. I know I'm yammering,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: and I don't shut up.
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: Again, it's the only way I keep moving at this point.
• 57:56
  Speaker 9: Like a shark.
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: Shark podcasting.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: So we'll Well, take a second. Did you have something
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: you wanted to ask? Oh, my gosh.
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: Hot seat.
• 58:04
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: I just came here to talk about Bart Braverman.
• 58:09
  Speaker 9: Success.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: Well, then, if not, then we'll go back to the
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: other side, then.
• 58:16
  Speaker 6: I like to throw it out there for listeners who
• 58:19
  Speaker 6: like cool stuff that maybe.
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: They haven't seen. Are there documentaries or something that you've.
• 58:22
  Speaker 6: Seen that you think maybe have flown under the radar
• 58:26
  Speaker 6: that people should check out?
• 58:27
  Speaker 9: Oh, I don't know the answer to that. You know,
• 58:29
  Speaker 9: we just watched Bat Kid. I thought that was great.
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Because we watched it on the heels of Making a Murderer,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: which is depressing and horrible. And then to watch Bat Kid,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: here's this documentary that, on paper, it's a kid with leukemia,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: but it's all positive energy. And so that was great
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: to watch.
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: That seems hard to do. I remember even hearing about
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: it going... How depressing is this going to be? So
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: it's good to hear that they put a good spin
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: on it.
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: It's all uplifting. And the parents, they seem like great people.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: And all the people that rally behind this thing. And
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: then just to see how big the you know, the
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: bat kid thing grew from this little make a wish
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: thing where he's going to go to a park basically and, and, and,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: you know, beat up a bad guy to this huge event. It's,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: it's really, uh, uh, great. I always think of the staircase,
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: but that's not a movie. It's more of a, you know, that, uh,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: the series, the series kind of thing about the author
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: that may or may not have thrown his wife down
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: a flight of stairs. Probably did. And, uh, allegedly, uh, what,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: what other documentary? I don't, you know, I, This is
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: one of those things with, again, being in the hot seat,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: where if I'm on a plane making a conversation, I
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: can come up with 4,000, but now that I'm here
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: with you, I can't, I can't think of the one
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: I watched two days ago, and that's about it.
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: I was trying to think of the ones I'd seen.
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: Just to throw one to you.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: What do you got?
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: If you haven't seen Almost There.
• 59:45
  Speaker 9: I don't even know what that is.
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: That's why I wanted.
• 59:47
  Speaker 6: To throw, and if people listening may know, because we
• 59:50
  Speaker 6: had one of the co-directors on, and like, but it
• 59:52
  Speaker 6: was one of those, like, I saw it at the
• 59:54
  Speaker 6: film fest, and I sat there like, Oh Lord, this
• 59:56
  Speaker 6: is like amazing. Like it's a, an aging artist that
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 6: these two guys just happened to run into it like
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 6: a street fair and they're outside of Chicago. They start
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 6: talking to him and they had cameras with them. And
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 6: so they get that first meeting on film and then
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 6: it becomes this like, Oh, you should come to my
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 6: house and see my art because he's out there drawing
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 6: stuff for people and doing caricature kind of stuff.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: And it goes over a.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 6: Couple of years and a couple of years and eventually
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 6: they get to his house and it is just, Seriously,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 6: there's holes in the ceiling. He lives in the basement
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 6: because the top floors are falling apart. And they go
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: in and it is just hoarder town. It is just
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 6: wall-to-wall crap. And just walls of VHS tapes. Wait, I
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 6: started to see a lot of similarities with this crazy
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 6: old man. Because I was just like, he's just off
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 6: by himself. He's got all kinds of crap. And he's
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 6: still painting away. And he is kind of an amazing
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 6: outsider artist. But he's also like, insane potentially and there's
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 6: this weird past that comes up midway into the movie
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 6: you're like oh okay they like and they had no
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 6: idea so it's It's fascinating.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Almost there.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: Almost there.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: I'll remember it.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 6: If you guys Google it, I can send you the
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: link to it because I think they were getting distribution
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: the end of last year, so it's definitely worth watching.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 9: Speaking of art, did you see the one?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. God, you just were going to say something. I,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: of course, jump in like an asshole. No, no, no.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: You were the guest.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 9: The one about we just watched.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: The guy that does the reproductions of artwork. What the
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: heck is that name of that? We just watched that,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: my wife and I, and it was great. I remember.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: Is it a couple years ago?
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 9: Well, I don't know. We just watched it.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 6: Because, yeah, I remember one that was like, if it's
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 6: that good a reproduction, what difference does it make?
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: Was kind of one of the questions that comes up.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: He's the one, like, he brings them to museums. Yeah.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: It's fascinating. And it's like, and he's broken no law
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: because they're, It's art.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 6: If it's an individual piece of art, you can't tell
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 6: them not to do it. It's different if you're mass
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 6: producing and making money. But if you paint a piece
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: of art... there's no licensing, there's no, you know, it's
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: your art.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 9: And he's not making money from it.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: It was fascinating though because he too is, you know,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: he's nuts.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: Most artists.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: It's like a companion piece to F is for Fake.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 10: What?
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 5: It's like a companion piece for F is for Fake.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know what that is.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, it's an Orson Welles documentary about art that's amazing
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 7: and incredible and finally had a release.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: Maybe 10 years ago. I liked it.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 6: I'm glad I've seen it because I love Orson Welles,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 6: but like, It's it's so again, it's Orson Welles towards
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 6: the very end. So I feel like he's extra crazy
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 6: at that point, too, because it's like it's following some
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 6: really interesting train of thought.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: And he'll take this turn and go over here for
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: a while.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 6: You're like, wait, why are we watching this guy? And
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 6: then it'll come back and like, what was that 20 minutes? Like,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 6: it's very strange how he veers off and talks about it.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 6: But it's still worth watching.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: It's Orson Welles.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 7: So has Almost There given a career boost to the artist?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 7: I feel like there was that period where there was
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 7: that amazing movement where like all the documentaries were about
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: undiscovered talent. And then as soon as the documentary came out, like, oh,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 7: now you're the biggest band in the world.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: Now you're going back on tour. Now you're like a
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 5: sought after artist.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: Not as I heard it at the time. This was
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: a few months ago.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 6: And it is one of those, it's interesting how the
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: story turns out. Because you get halfway in and you're like, oh,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 6: I don't know what's going to happen here.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: This could go really, really bad.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, all right.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 6: And so it takes a different kind of turn than
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 6: even you think is coming from the beginning. And the
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 6: middle point, it ends a little differently. So it's worth
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 6: watching for that, too. Because you kind of don't know
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 6: where that movie's going.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: Definite bump for that.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 9: I will watch it.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: It's worth watching.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Is it available on Netflix?
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know yet. Again, I'll check the website. Send
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: him the link.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 6: I'm sure he's gunning for the streaming platforms at this point.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 6: That is kind of where it's all going now.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's the future of that now, yeah.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's also, again, that's the media just changing massively,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 6: and people are just, they're making use of the convenience
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 6: of it, but I don't think they see the huge
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 6: change that's coming, and the fact that network TVs don't
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 6: really even have a good window anymore, and Again, looking
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 6: at things like sitcoms, like the window for making sitcoms
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 6: on network television compared.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: To like the 90s. I know, right? It's ridiculous. It's
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: like now it's just all streaming.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 6: Go to Amazon and make your show. Go to Netflix
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 6: and make your show. So the whole industry is kind
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 6: of changing.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: It sure is. Do you think we'll survive?
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: I hope so.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: I hope so. Well, is there anything you want to
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: tell people? Stuff you've got in the works?
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: You're not doing any comedy. You're not on a podcast.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Are we done?
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 9: Are we wrapping it up?
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: What else do you want to throw out there?
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 9: We can talk about whatever you want to talk about.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 6: I threw out some movie topics, so anything else you
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 6: can think of.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 9: Nope.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: Those were mine, Lucy.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 5: So, Bart Braverman, what's he like?
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Shut up. You mentioned Bart Braverman again. You know, I.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Just my podcast. I'm just running my mouth twice a
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: week doing that. And then I get out and do...
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: Lucy and I were talking before, and I get out
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: about once a month and do stand-up in a city,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: and I entertain those fine people for an hour of
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: their sad lives.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: How is that process? Because I'm sure it's changed a
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: little since you started, if you're not driving there now.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: It's... I only have to go out once a month
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: as opposed to 48 weeks out of the year like
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: I used to do. And the podcast is, of course,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: now the room is... you know, half full of podcast fans,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: which is great. Uh, so I have them there to
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: support my nonsense. And then yet I have the new
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: people that have never seen what I do.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 9: So I can.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: Repeat material, which is important considering that, uh, I haven't
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: written a joke in two and a half years, but, uh, uh,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm so improv, you know, I try to
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: improvise as much as I can on stage, but there's
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: still the skeleton that hasn't changed at all.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 9: Um, but it's great.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: You know, like I joke, comedians, we see a movie
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: and masturbate. That's all we do every day.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: It's a special lifestyle.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 11: It is.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: You got the two M's and then you move on.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: Then you got to do a show at night.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: Eat some sort of bad food and go to sleep.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Try to find something that isn't horrible. Then, yeah, you
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: nap it off. In the old days, for me, I
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: had to get hammered and do whatever happened then.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: We heard about those.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a chance a child's out there somewhere.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: The legal ramifications.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 9: I don't know if there's a child out there.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, that's me, man.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 9: Man, I don't know who that guy is.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I became a hippie at the
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: end of that sentence.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 9: But, I mean, you know, if you want to.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: Wrap it up, wrap it up.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 9: If you don't, we could talk all day. I don't
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 9: give a shit. I got enough, you know.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know. That was most of mine.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: Just talking movies and your experience in the industry.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: I guess that's it. You know, the sitcoms and, you know, again,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: I love hosting and the limited movie stuff I've done. Yeah,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not Yafit Koto with 4,000 movie credits
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: and fun Bob De Niro stories.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're not going to talk to us about Kim Davis? Yeah,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 5: it went there.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: Who's Kim Davis?
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 7: The Rowan County clerk who refused to sign off on
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 7: gay marriages in Kentucky.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: I'm really glad you don't know.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: That about Kentucky.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: Wait, wait, first of all, I do know that.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 6: Because it's like the go-to Kentucky. Yeah, I assumed everyone
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 6: in the nation hates us for that.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't hate you for it.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 9: I think she's nuts, of course.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: But you said, I wouldn't recognize the name, but you said,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: I said, well, I don't have any Funny Bob De
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: Niro stories. You go, nothing about Kim Davis? Was I
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: in a movie with Kim Davis? Who the hell's Kim Davis?
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm racking my brain.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 6: I assumed it was the woman that's coming forward with
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 6: the son that he doesn't know about.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: They're very welcome to be Kim Davis. She had a
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: hell of a past, from what I understand.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 6: I'm here representing Kim Davis, and I'd like to serve
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: you with these papers.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: She doesn't seem hypocritical at all. She seems wonderful, and
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: we wish her a lot of luck in her shawl
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: at the State of the Union.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 9: What asshole invited her to that?
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 6: Or do you know anything about modern futuristic technology that
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 6: we have that is being hidden from us as we
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 6: were also treated to in that episode?
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 6: The beaming Star Trek technology is out there and they
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 6: just won't give it to us.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 12: We're not ready for it yet.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I just read an article. It's so funny
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: because I've been saying this on my podcast. Not that
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: I'm this great. I'm stating the obvious. It's like with
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists. You can't win that argument because every rethink, well,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: that's what they want you to think. Like, you can't win.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: And it's funny that just some university just did a whole,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say experiment, but a whole.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 9: Series of tests.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: Wrong. Still wrong.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 9: Not happy with them. I'm exhausted. Can't think of the word.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 9: Don't have the vocabulary.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: What are those called? Experiments? What are they doing? When
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: they do a thing, not a thesis, but when they do,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: when a university puts out they.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: Study? Study?
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: A study.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ, that's it.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: They did a whole study. That's it. You know, the
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: tough word of study about this. And basically, the conclusion
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: is you can't win because they just throw everything back
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: in your face.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 4: No matter how good a point you make, then if
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: it's that good, you're just part of the conspiracy. You're
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: just part of it. You're part of it.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: You can't win.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: You're part of the conspiracy. The reason you're giving.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 6: me this is because they planted you here right at
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 6: this moment to tell me that.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, and this one was specifically the other thing that
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: I've been saying, and again, I'm not the only guy
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: saying this, but people that believe that 9-11 was an
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: inside job, that a million people would have to be
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: involved in order to make that an inside job, and one.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Nobody's come out. It only takes one guy to walk
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: and go, I can't live with this anymore. And that
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: was what the study was basically about. Everything that was
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory Within three to three and a half years,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: somebody broke and said, I can't keep this quiet anymore.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: So after a while, it's like, oh, that's the moon landing.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: It's obviously real because that guy didn't come out in
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: three and a half years.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: Did he not?
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 5: Or did Kubrick make a movie about it?
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: Did you see that.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 6: Thing going around the internet that was like the guy
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 6: who did an interview with Kubrick the last couple of
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: months of his life? And he made a deal with
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 6: him that he couldn't let this interview surface for 10
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 6: years after his death or something. And it just got
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 6: put out there. And I'm like, it's on the internet.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 6: So I'm like, well, this is a scam. So I
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 6: didn't go do any more extra investigation on that. But yeah,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 6: supposedly they just put out this interview with Kubrick claiming
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 6: that he faked the moon landing. And he was the
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 6: one that filmed it and all of this.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: And like he.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 6: Felt weird about it, but he couldn't say anything because
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 6: of the government. But he knew he was dying, and
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 6: then he set up this interview and was like, okay, here,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 6: legally I want to put in writing that you can't
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 6: put this out there until after I'm gone and give
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 6: it 10 years.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: But I'm like, really? It took us this long? And
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: even then, I'm sure it's fake.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: It's got to be because there's a gaffer or something
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: that was there that, like, you'd think he'd get drunk
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: at a bar one.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 9: Day and just turn around.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: I was with Kubrick and we did the one thing.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: And then the guy goes, what are you fucking talking about?
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: And then that guy tells somebody and then it's blown
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: wide open. So the fact that that has, like, not
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: everybody can keep their mouth shut. You couldn't live your
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: whole life going.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 9: I know something that the whole world doesn't.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Especially in this day and age of everybody becoming famous,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: you'd think that those people would come forward and go,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: you're right, it is. And here's why. And they would
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: prove it just so they can get that 10 minutes
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: of fame.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: Or is that what they want?
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: See if that's what they want.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: Well, that's my thing.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 6: I'm like the inside job thing. I'm like, yes, there's
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: a lot of weird things that don't add up. But
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 6: do I give our government enough credit to orchestrate something
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 6: like that? They can't even get taxes right. I mean,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 6: they can't get anything else right. Why would they be
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 6: able to orchestrate this massive thing?
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: As Dennis Miller said, states can't pay fucking roads.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: And yet we're going to do this.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 9: Back when he was funny. Still funny. Back when he
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 9: was good and relevant.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 4: He lives a different life.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: Not crazy.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: Off-white album.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: That's the way to go.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: He's so good. He's so good on that.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: It's brilliant. It's so good.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 4: And now I see him, I'm like, oh, it's just
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: boring now.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 9: I know, right?
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: And so opinionated that I don't care.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 6: It was kind of biting in the early days, and
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 6: now it's just like, It's so centered in what he
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: thinks that, like, whatever.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: I see it all coming, you know?
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: His last special was a combination of that and then
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: when he would go away from politics and he would
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: just be funny, it's like.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's still there.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: It's still there. It's still there. This is great. Great jokes,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: great references, great wording, great writing, but then right back into.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: Again, the safety area that, like, you know it's coming.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: It's the easy material again.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a boomer.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're talking to your crowd.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: And he is.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know they're going to love whatever you say.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: It's the easy jokes. I don't know.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: Heavy room.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: Got into politics.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 4: Don't go down that road. I can't go down that road.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not smart enough to go down that road.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: That doesn't seem to be an important thing, really.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a good point.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: Intelligence does not have anything to do with politics.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: But I still don't, I couldn't speak on it well enough.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 9: I always joke about my, you know.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're all wearing red ties. Good debate.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 9: You know, that's just, I was laughing about this.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: See, actually, I appreciate that. That's the kind of commentary.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: I would want to take away. My pleasure.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: Then I would watch more politics if it was like,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: look at that suit.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: That's a nice suit. I was just laughing about this
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: on the phone with Matt Belknap from the hit podcast,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Never Not Funny.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: I've heard of that one.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: About how I watch, and I'm equating this to fantasy
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: baseball because I joked at the last fantasy baseball draft. I, there's,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I, for as bad as I love
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: this and I've never been worse than anything in my life.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: I love fantasy baseball and I suck at it. And
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: it's the same with politics.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 9: I watch every debate.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: I watch every state of the union. I watch every
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: state of the union.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 9: I don't understand it.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. I'm dumb. But I watch it
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: and I go, yeah. And I feel riled up as
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: an American. And then the next day, what was the
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: debate about? I think they talked something about immigration.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 4: It was like two hours.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Donald Trump is stupid.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: That's what I walk away with. Who would vote for
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: that animal? That's what I walk away with.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: I knew that going in, though. I'm like, that guy,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 4: I don't even like him on TV. Why do I
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 4: want him running anything?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: He's Ross Perot, but he had a.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 9: Although Ross wasn't a bigoted.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe he.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 9: Was, but we didn't know that.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 6: From the entry point, that's what I said when I
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 6: was like, it's just a rich guy buying his way
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 6: into the election.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: That's exactly what Ross Perot did.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: But with the TV reality... He's.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 6: Got 20 years of a TV platform pushing him that
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 6: Ross didn't have.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 7: It's so much more interesting than that because Ross Perot
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 7: actually did believe in things.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 7: And Donald Trump only believes in winning. And so it's
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 7: sort of fascinating to watch this happen that it's just
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 7: like the height.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 5: Of a narcissist. Like he's running.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 7: for president because he's a narcissist and he will do
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 7: whatever it takes to win because winning's what he does
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 7: and he wants to prove to the world that he's
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 7: a winner.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 4: It's like Perrault had good ideas.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 6: He also had a lot of crazy eddies. Like he
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 6: was a little bit of a crazy man. But again,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 6: I respected what he was trying to do. He went
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 6: in with at least some sort of earnestness about what
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 6: he was trying to do, where you don't get that
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 6: from Trump.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 7: I mean, the only good news about Trump is in
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 7: the nightmare scenario, in the apocalyptic scenario that plays out
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 7: when Donald Trump becomes president, at least he doesn't actually believe.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 4: In any of that shit.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: True. Assumably.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: He doesn't even have anything to stand on, because he
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 6: doesn't really stand for anything except making money and winning
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 6: and making fun of other people.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: And you can see, even in these debates, why he
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: is a great businessman, because he's a bully that takes
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: no bullshit.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: That's how you get ahead.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: And that's how you get ahead. That's how you get ahead.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: But not in this. Like, everything that works in business
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: makes them.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 9: Although there's these fucking... It kind of works.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: These inbreds that are supporting this guy.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 9: It kind of works.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: If you're a woman, how do you support this guy?
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: If you're a black woman, how do you support... I mean,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: it's unbelievable if you're Hispanic. And yet they're there. They're
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: there at the... I don't get it. Let me ask
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: you this. And again, this is the most political I'll
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: ever get.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 4: More than I've ever gotten.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: Are real Republicans rallying behind Donald Trump? Or are they.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: It's almost like, it's just this, I don't want to
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: say the tea party, but it's almost the opposite.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 9: It's basically a Klan.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: Rally that are just, they're all raising, like for the
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: first time, these moron hillbillies are going to vote. And
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: I don't mean hillbillies in the way, I mean, these
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: are dumb people.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: You're in Kentucky, watch out.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: I make fun of them.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: There's more than anybody, so it's okay.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 5: Sensitive about that term.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: I grew up on the south side of Chicago. I'm
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: a hill person too, so.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: Scary Illinois hillbillies.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's that, right? It's these people that.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but statistically, I mean, it's... We'll find
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 5: out this week, I guess. People who identify as Republicans, yeah.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 5: We'll find out.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 4: I don't claim either party. They both don't know what
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: the hell they're doing. I don't know that anybody knows
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: what the hell they're doing at this point.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: So parties, I don't care about parties. Individual people, I
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: could get behind. It's rare that I see anybody to
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: bother with, so... Yeah, that's why I don't get political
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: on this show, because I just don't care. Like, there's
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: no good answer.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 9: There's not.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: Lucy brought it there.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I'm like, I don't... Yeah, but Cotto
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 5: technically brought it there.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 9: That's true.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 6: He got political, and I don't know why. Once again,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 6: we're wrapping up, and you're like, wait, what is.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: He talking about? Did he have good Minaret Run stories?
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: A little?
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 6: I brought it up, and he had good things to
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 6: say about everybody, and liked the director.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's fascinating. Oh, yeah. You should revisit that episode.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: I'll listen to the episode. How about that?
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 9: Instead of you guys telling me it.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: Now, how about I do what you want me to
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 5: do and go listen to it?
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 6: Uh well i will do that he's an amazing man
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 6: all right and you never know what you're gonna get
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: with him.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: Much like timmy part oh no all right all right.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: Well if i think we've covered many interesting topics today
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 6: and most of which i just kind of wanted to
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 6: get your take on on all of it showbiz in general.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: And the showbiz thing that is.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 6: Now podcasting which i guess it is it's an uphill
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 6: battle i i yeah i It's a fight every day.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 4: When does this come out?
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry to interrupt you.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: Probably next week.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: I have a podcast-a-thon coming up.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: That's true. All right.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: Podcast-a-thon for people that are new to the Jimmy Potter
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: world is my 12-hour marathon of Never Not Funny where
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: we raise money for Smile Train, which is the great
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: organization that goes to third world countries and performs the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: surgery to fix cleft lips and cleft palates on people
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: that couldn't otherwise afford it. I had the opportunity to
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: go down to Mexico this past December and watch his
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: surgery in action and meet the families and Uh, it
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: is not, uh, it's cliche, but it's not to say
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: it was life-changing to see how, uh, it only costs
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: $ 250 to do this surgery and it only takes 45
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: minutes and you are literally changing somebody's life. And I've
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: been saying that for the past seven years of us
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: doing podcast-a-thon, uh, but to actually witness it and meet
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: these families and see how they live and see how
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: this does change.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 9: Their life, uh, was life-changing. And it's, um, uh, March 5th.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: It's part of Castathon, and it's going to stream at nevernotfunny.com.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: And I have a different guest on every 20 minutes
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: to a half hour. That's crazy. Somebody from movies and
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: past guests have been Jon Hamm and Conan O'Brien and
• 1:18:30

• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Colin Hay, Amy Mann, Lisa Loeb. Great guests, great comedians,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: the cream of the crop. So somebody different every 20
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: minutes to 30 to raise money for Smile Train. And
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: last year we raised $ 150, 000. And we're hoping to raise
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: more than that. So thank you for letting me. get
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: this out as well, because any support on this is appreciated.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 6: I'm all for that. Actually, that was one of those.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 6: If we crossed into it, I have a personal connection
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 6: to that.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, do you really?
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 6: My cousin was born with a cleft palate, and it's
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 6: kind of horrifying to see that first time, especially having.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 4: It be your family.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: And I'm like.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, at that point, I mean, it was years ago,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 6: so it was before I'd ever heard of Smile Train anyway,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 6: so I don't know how well-known that kind of stuff
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 6: was at the time.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 4: So I think, I'm sure his mother was like, what
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: the hell do we do?
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 6: And it is amazing what they can do and how.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's like 21 now. Like, he's a handsome
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 6: young man.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 4: They did a huge job. There's just an amazing turnaround
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: in him.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, right?
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 6: And he's grown up and a completely normal kid. And he's,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: like I said, he's got a very adorable girlfriend now.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 6: And you wouldn't get that if you came out the
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 6: original way.
• 1:19:46
