Speaker 1: The main event was actually Edge and John Cena of
Speaker 1: Summer Slam two thousand and six. The d X match
Speaker 1: was against the McMahon. I was gonna say, well, Dolph
Speaker 1: Ziegler was a squad, so I would I would have
Speaker 1: liked that. You gotta love though, the McMahons and Vince
Speaker 1: at his oily Tannis height, big muscle and fitness covered.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I don't know about all that. I
Speaker 1: just I'm just so out of the loop with wrestling
Speaker 1: these days, you know, I just I don't know. Man, hey,
Speaker 1: and I give the fans today a lot of credit
Speaker 1: for being so invested, because this is the most hardcore
Speaker 1: audience I think there's ever been. But I could stand corrected.
Speaker 1: But here we actually we're about to be joined by
Speaker 1: our guests already. Who has his ww F tye or
Speaker 1: excuse me, wwe get the f out allegiances as we
Speaker 1: welcome in the one and only the Great Scott Stanford.
Speaker 1: Where is he? There he is? Guys, what's happening? What's up? Scott?
Speaker 1: For a second, I would just tell you I was
Speaker 1: changing my camera for you. There you go, what's that accent?
Speaker 1: I live in the New York area, New York. Everybody
Speaker 1: says that I have a New York accent, but I'm
Speaker 1: originally from Philadelphia, and so I feel like my accent
Speaker 1: is way different from your New York. Well, here's here's
Speaker 1: the thing. When I am on the air, I will
Speaker 1: change my voice to sound a little more uh non
Speaker 1: New York. I like it. Don't you change for anyone, Scott?
Speaker 1: You no, listen, I'm not going to be asked you guys.
Speaker 1: I'm here for one reason and one reason only. I
Speaker 1: came to play America's favorite game show, porn Star or
Speaker 1: baseball Player. Did you love it? You love that on? Scott? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm so thrilled at you're here because I I always
Speaker 1: have to just play with Chad and you know it's
Speaker 1: all right. But I don't think you can handle it
Speaker 1: though I don't know. It's uh yeah, it might throw
Speaker 1: you for a loop. Are we going to play against
Speaker 1: each other? I'm gonna how about it before we get rolling?
Speaker 1: How about we do a little rapid fire? How about that?
Speaker 1: May I say one thing. I feel like I'm at
Speaker 1: a disadvantage because I feel like Scott would know more
Speaker 1: about baseball players than I do. I also know more
Speaker 1: about porn stars than you do as well. Well, that's
Speaker 1: another thing because I haven't watched porn in years, so
Speaker 1: I might be a little rusty, but sure, I swear Listen.
Speaker 1: Since I've had my children, my whole life has changed.
Speaker 1: I don't have time for porn anymore. I just want
Speaker 1: to sleep, and I don't even get to sleep anymore.
Speaker 1: So I'll you know, no porn for me, but I'll
Speaker 1: do my best, all right. Who would like to go first?
Speaker 1: We'll get it, you know what, Let our desk go first? Yes,
Speaker 1: that would be that would be fitting. Uh. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't have all of the great uh little uh descriptions
Speaker 1: for this because we're going rapid fire. All right, But Scott,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you go first. Baseball player or porn star.
Speaker 1: Go ahead. Richard Cheese You mean Dick Cheese as he goes,
Speaker 1: friends call him. Uh, let's see, Richard Cheese. That's a
Speaker 1: good one. I'm gonna go. Didn't he star and white
Speaker 1: men can hump Richard Cheese? Or no? My god? If
Speaker 1: you know titles, I am going to so so your
Speaker 1: final answer would be porn star. I'm gonna go. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go baseball player. You are incorrectes is a porn star?
Speaker 1: He wasn't can't hump? He probably was? Did he win
Speaker 1: an Aviana Award? I'm sorry, I don't have the information
Speaker 1: available at this time. I don't want you to think
Speaker 1: I'm a degenerate. The only reason I know these names, James,
Speaker 1: is because one one WrestleMania back in New York, I
Speaker 1: was part of Dolls Ziggler's comedy night, and I roasted
Speaker 1: Dolph a little bit, saying how he looks like the
Speaker 1: pizza delivery guy in a porn movie. And I started
Speaker 1: throwing out these these titles and names and that that's
Speaker 1: the only reason why I know. But I because I
Speaker 1: only watch once a day, so I wouldn't really get
Speaker 1: to know all of the porn star. Oh you're you're
Speaker 1: down to one movie a day day? No, no one, Francis,
Speaker 1: You're giving me too much credit. It's it's one three

Speaker 1: that's well. There was a guy by the name of Dick.
Speaker 1: Is in you who played for the Astro? No, get

Speaker 1: a name like that, like, please call me Richard, Call
Speaker 1: me Richard, don't call me Dick Scott. Let's let's let's
Speaker 1: get her mind out of the gutter. And that's true.
Speaker 1: I forgot why I was here exactly. Let's put you
Speaker 1: over a little bit. Seven time Emmy Winner. Really that
Speaker 1: you're gonna bring my talk? Well you mean you mean this?
Speaker 1: He hasn't, Scott? Do you have seven of those in
Speaker 1: your house? Oh? My god? Can you juggle with them?
Speaker 1: That's why he wanted the wide shot. That's why he
Speaker 1: wanted the wide shot. You want to go wide shot
Speaker 1: if you want? My goodness? Yeah, that's impressive. Now you
Speaker 1: are you a married man, Scott? Unfortunately? Yes, Fan, I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, do you use them as lever? Do
Speaker 1: you use them as leverage with your wife to get action?
Speaker 1: Because well, listen, every time I walk into my bedroom.
Speaker 1: I say, hey, baby, you ever sleep with a seventh
Speaker 1: time Emmy winner? And she goes, no. He says no,
Speaker 1: and I'm still not. Oh well, she she goes, what's
Speaker 1: going on? Hell? How do we win seven Emmys in
Speaker 1: a lifetime? I think back when we had our kids.
Speaker 1: I only had four at the time, so that was
Speaker 1: probably the last time. No, you know what, I listen.
Speaker 1: I've been a sports and news anchor here in New York, yes,
Speaker 1: for since about two thousand and three, okay, and you
Speaker 1: know every year they have the Emmy Awards, and I've
Speaker 1: I've won seven. I've won one for the morning show
Speaker 1: that I used to do with my partner Suki who
Speaker 1: we have our show at night now, and I won
Speaker 1: six others for on cap the be the best sports
Speaker 1: anchor in New York on camera perform. I love that.
Speaker 1: That's well, you're very charismatic. I could I could just
Speaker 1: tell by the little conversation we had. That's that's impressive.
Speaker 1: And I've I've never won a Slammy Award though in
Speaker 1: my life. That's something that's never happened. Well, I think
Speaker 1: an Emmy Trump's a Slammy. You're better off with the Emmy.
Speaker 1: How did you get involved in the sports world so
Speaker 1: to speak? Now you started doing the commentating for the
Speaker 1: news and right right, no, I I basically everything kind
Speaker 1: of felt, you know, you have you have to. We
Speaker 1: had this conversation of a day on our show with
Speaker 1: Kevin Eubanks used to be the Tonight Show director musical director. Right.
Speaker 1: You know, it's you could have all the talent in
Speaker 1: the world, but just like WWE, it's always good to
Speaker 1: have a little luck to get yourself in a position
Speaker 1: to you know, show off those talents. Uh. And I
Speaker 1: just happened to, you know, I had a friend call
Speaker 1: me about doing sports one day, and I ended up
Speaker 1: doing sports on the radio here in New York, which
Speaker 1: led to me doing sports on TV for the Fox station,
Speaker 1: uh and the UPN nine station, which is how I
Speaker 1: kind of got into WWE. And then just you know,
Speaker 1: when you're in broadcasting, you constantly move from you know,
Speaker 1: you move up, you move up, you move up till
Speaker 1: till you get to a certain level. Uh. And I've
Speaker 1: been on a bunch of different stations here in New York,
Speaker 1: you know, as a sports reporter, sports anchor, and it's
Speaker 1: just once, you know, once once you get on the air,
Speaker 1: it's always easier to get a job somewhere else while
Speaker 1: you're on the air, you know, because in this business
Speaker 1: with with w W as well, you got to you
Speaker 1: gotta be on to stay relevant, right and once you're
Speaker 1: out of sight, out of mind. Uh, there's so many
Speaker 1: things going on right now. If you don't stay present,
Speaker 1: people will just kind of forget about you. So you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of slowly moved up here here, a little
Speaker 1: more money here, a little better position here. Uh, And
Speaker 1: that's really how it worked out. And I just did this.
Speaker 1: I always wanted to be a game show host or
Speaker 1: me and Gene Oakerland love it. Okay. So the sports,
Speaker 1: the whole sports thing just kind of fell into my lap. Uh.
Speaker 1: People always say, oh man, you must be watching sports
Speaker 1: all day long, and you know the short answer is no,
Speaker 1: watching porn all day in between WWE. So it's listen,
Speaker 1: you know, I have a little time for sports. I
Speaker 1: watched the highlights like everybody else, and then I report
Speaker 1: on it. My favorite is Jeene Rayburn from Oh I
Speaker 1: Love Geene Rayburn. I love him in his long microphone,
Speaker 1: long mic good Enough and Charless and Riley that show
Speaker 1: is like the best. I'd agree with you on game shows.
Speaker 1: I would love to be a game show host. The
Speaker 1: best beverage. Since I saw Bob, Bob Barker always hung
Speaker 1: around with the beautiful women, Dianne Parkinson and all those
Speaker 1: with jan right they were he had an affair, I
Speaker 1: got to be this guy. Oh yeah, I think Bob
Speaker 1: Bob slept with all of them. Well, I know Diane
Speaker 1: Parkinson or whatever her name is, that she admitted that
Speaker 1: she had an affair with mister Barker. Yeah, So how
Speaker 1: do you go from you know, you mentioned a little
Speaker 1: bit you started on the sports How do you go
Speaker 1: from there to getting a job with w w F
Speaker 1: at the time or w w A. Did they contact
Speaker 1: you or were you trying to get into the company. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the funny thing. I was the sports ager Fox
Speaker 1: and UPN. We're together here in New York, Okay, So
Speaker 1: I was the sports guy at both stations. SmackDown about
Speaker 1: eleven years ago, because I've been here for eleven years now,
Speaker 1: SmackDown Friday Night. SmackDown came to the UPN network, if
Speaker 1: you recall, and once it came to the UPN network,
Speaker 1: you know, whenever something starts off, you make a big
Speaker 1: deal about it. So they wanted a guy, and I'm
Speaker 1: in the New York area closest to WWE. They wanted
Speaker 1: a guy who can go out and do feature pieces
Speaker 1: for all the news programs that would come on at
Speaker 1: ten o'clock after SmackDown. SmackDown's on from eight to ten
Speaker 1: on Friday nights, ten o'clock to eleven o'clock was all
Speaker 1: the local UPN newscast that would come on in all
Speaker 1: the markets, right, So they wanted it. So how do
Speaker 1: you keep that? How do you keep that audience it's
Speaker 1: watching Friday night SmackDown? You put a little t's into
Speaker 1: the show coming up on the UPN nine news at ten.
Speaker 1: You know hul Cogan caught with his pants down in Florida,
Speaker 1: you know, or the Bella Twins or something. So I
Speaker 1: was the guy who worked with WWE on all those
Speaker 1: feature pieces. I would so, let's say WWE was at
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden. I would go to the garden. We
Speaker 1: would set up like ten interviews, the big Show and
Speaker 1: all the you know, seeing all those guys CM punk
Speaker 1: at the time. They would come into a room with
Speaker 1: me and I would literally sit and do like a
Speaker 1: five minute interview with each superstar. Okay, so now you
Speaker 1: have five pieces in the can. For the next five
Speaker 1: weeks of shows. You would put together a piece with
Speaker 1: b roll and video and this and that, so you know,
Speaker 1: coming up after after SmackDown on the upn nine news.
Speaker 1: You know CM Punk's favorite, you know, Hobby blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: we'll have it coming up after the you know. So
Speaker 1: it was kind of a way to keep that SmackDown
Speaker 1: audience on Friday nights, to stick with the news coming
Speaker 1: up after smack because it's a totally different demographic of course,
Speaker 1: right for folks who are going to watch the news,
Speaker 1: so they wanted to try and hook the people who
Speaker 1: are wrestling fans. So anyway, long story short, I was
Speaker 1: the guy working with WWE to do all these pieces,
Speaker 1: so it was almost like I worked for them already.
Speaker 1: I had all these I had all these videos and
Speaker 1: me interviewing everybody and doing pieces at WrestleMania and this
Speaker 1: and that and this and that. So when the time came,
Speaker 1: I got a call from the PR guy said, hey,
Speaker 1: we're looking for a new studio host. Vince Saw. They
Speaker 1: narrowed it down from three hundred tapes. Vince narrowed it
Speaker 1: down to three. He hated the three that we showed him.
Speaker 1: Put together a quick and we'll show it to Vince.
Speaker 1: They showed my demo to Vince. He said, get this
Speaker 1: guy up, get this guy up here, and that was that.
Speaker 1: I went up. I auditioned with Joey Styles. Remember I
Speaker 1: love how can I forget? Yeah? Yeah, he took me
Speaker 1: through a little audition process. We called a few matches
Speaker 1: together and did a few things, and I did a
Speaker 1: couple of pretend interviews and here I am eleven years later.
Speaker 1: I basically you know, I'm still still going strong. People.
Speaker 1: It's funny because once in a while on Twitter, I'll
Speaker 1: when I do a kickoff show for a pay per view,
Speaker 1: people are like, I didn't even know this guy's still
Speaker 1: at the company. Yeah right, especially in this day and age. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I appreciate that, but yeah, so's It's
Speaker 1: been eleven years and in this pandemic. I've been doing
Speaker 1: all the kickoff pay per view pre shows as well,
Speaker 1: because everything's done right in Stanford, Connecticut, right And next
Speaker 1: Saturday I'm doing the NXT kickoff show with Sam Roberts
Speaker 1: again and you know, we got Summer Slam coming up,
Speaker 1: and I've been doing this week in WWE forever and
Speaker 1: it's just been great. I love it. I still love it.
Speaker 1: Every day is like the first day for me. See,
Speaker 1: And that's what you mean. You need to love what
Speaker 1: you're doing or else you're going to be miserable. We
Speaker 1: say that all the time. Yeah, And it's interesting because
Speaker 1: I always say, you never know who's watching always, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So you here you are, You're
Speaker 1: on a local network news, and then they see you,
Speaker 1: and then you get this opportunity to do their show
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, you're double dipping. You're here there, And
Speaker 1: you know what's funny. I've worked at NBC four here
Speaker 1: in New York. I was the news anchor It Picks
Speaker 1: eleven here in New York, the morning show host WWE.
Speaker 1: Never I never missed a day. It never interfered with
Speaker 1: anything I was doing. There were times where I was
Speaker 1: doing a Monday night Raw pre show and a Tuesday
Speaker 1: night SmackDown pre show with Booker and Corey and Otunga.
Speaker 1: I would do my five and six o'clock newscast. I
Speaker 1: jump on the train at Grand Central up to Connecticut,
Speaker 1: for a seven o'clock show, seven to eight o'clock we
Speaker 1: would do, Yeah, we would do the pre show, hang
Speaker 1: out after, have a little dinner, I jump into a car,
Speaker 1: they take me back down for the ten o'clock news.
Speaker 1: So my Mondays and Tuesdays were pretty hectic. But it's
Speaker 1: it's none of it's like working for me exactly. It's
Speaker 1: so much fun. I love doing it. Nothing is like
Speaker 1: work for me. Were you a wrestling fan growing up?
Speaker 1: I was? I was. I was. I used to walk
Speaker 1: around the house pretending I was mean Jean. Yeah, at
Speaker 1: a child. As a child, so you didn't want to
Speaker 1: be a wrestler, you wanted to be mean Gene Okerland.
Speaker 1: I always wanted to be mean Gene. I always loved
Speaker 1: Vince when he was the you know, the commentator on
Speaker 1: the side of the ring, back when I was watching
Speaker 1: on the Spanish stations when I was a kid. And
Speaker 1: when my brother, who's still a cameraman to this day,
Speaker 1: he got his first like camquarder back in the day,
Speaker 1: those giant things they used to sell. When he got
Speaker 1: his first camp corder, the first thing we did was
Speaker 1: put me in front of like one of those old
Speaker 1: wrestling advertisement posters, you know, Pedro Morales and Brunos San Martina. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was literally all right, ladies and gentlemen, this
Speaker 1: Monday night haul Cogan, Oh forget it, I am. And
Speaker 1: then when I got to meet me and Jane and
Speaker 1: work with him, it was you know, it was just
Speaker 1: a thrill for me. That's adorable. You should have taken
Speaker 1: that footage if you still had it, and I have
Speaker 1: it on your highlight reel. Oh, I love that. I
Speaker 1: want to see that. That's so cute. I have it
Speaker 1: if I actually I have it on my phone. I
Speaker 1: wish I would. I could have emailed it to you
Speaker 1: could have played it. Follow you after on Twitter. I
Speaker 1: want to keep I want to I like to follow
Speaker 1: up a guest and see what I love. Like something.
Speaker 1: I love Justin Roberts, who I'm sure you know, good friend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a he's a great guy. I love him to death.
Speaker 1: And I love how he always puts up like his
Speaker 1: pictures when he's a kid with and then and then
Speaker 1: you see him in the ring. Yeah. My dad used
Speaker 1: to take us here in New York to the Westchester
Speaker 1: County Center. Yeah. I think I've worked there. You probably
Speaker 1: have always one of the stops. It's a little, tiny,
Speaker 1: small little venue in west Work there. I'm sure when
Speaker 1: I was a little kid, we used to see like
Speaker 1: Andre the Giant and Ivan Putski would be there, and
Speaker 1: I just happen to have this. Look at there's all
Speaker 1: that's Andre. I don't know who's on it could be
Speaker 1: doctor Dave Schultz. I don't even know. I can't tell,
Speaker 1: but it looks like they just weren't tights because Schultz
Speaker 1: would have had the single that's amazing. There's Andre that
Speaker 1: was at the Westchester County Center and I always remember
Speaker 1: had the shirt that said Polish Power for Ivan Putski
Speaker 1: and I love it. We were big fans. I love
Speaker 1: that venue. That's always been one of my favorites. I
Speaker 1: saw shows there many times. It's a that's a It's
Speaker 1: an interesting one because they run conventions there. I think
Speaker 1: the Westchester Knicks play there. It's like it can do it,
Speaker 1: can do it all. Yeah, I'm pretty sure we ran there.
Speaker 1: The name is ringing a Bell. It's sad. I don't
Speaker 1: remember much these days. I think because I hit my
Speaker 1: head so many times. My memory is when were you there?
Speaker 1: Did I ever see you backstage? Or because I worked
Speaker 1: for w W in two thousand. I did two thousand
Speaker 1: and five The One Light Stand for You, and then
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six I had signed a contract
Speaker 1: for the new The Fake w is what I right,
Speaker 1: fake whatever you want. It didn't live up to expectations,
Speaker 1: but I was there for about six months and then
Speaker 1: I got the good old we have nothing for you.
Speaker 1: I got you, okay. No, I started. I started in nine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gone, Yeah, okay, I was already pregnant and
Speaker 1: having my first shot. And listen, and now in the pandemic,
Speaker 1: right we're all shooting in our homes. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: my camera. Here's here's my WWE set right over here.
Speaker 1: Oh god, that's awesome. I got my posters. So I
Speaker 1: sit in front of those, okay, And you got a
Speaker 1: nice little set there, and I do all my shows
Speaker 1: from there. So it's, uh, it's great. And when it's
Speaker 1: nice that obviously I'll do it. Like in my backyard.
Speaker 1: So there's it opens up. You see some trees. But
Speaker 1: back in in March, when we first started doing the
Speaker 1: you know, the pandemic hit and the weather wasn't nice.
Speaker 1: I stole a few posters from the from headquarters I
Speaker 1: got myself a nice little set. Look that's gonna come
Speaker 1: out of your paycheck the warehouse. That's funny. Do you
Speaker 1: have a fevered interview of anything anything? Oh? Boy, god,
Speaker 1: you know what. Someone asked me this the other day.
Speaker 1: And I've done so many I mean, I've met so
Speaker 1: many celebrities, so many athletes. Even the show that we've
Speaker 1: been doing, uh, the Suki and Scott Show, which is
Speaker 1: on Facebook Live every night. You know, it's kind of
Speaker 1: like the Tonight Show. We have celebrities and entertainers. So
Speaker 1: we'll have a celebrity uh. You know, we had Taylor
Speaker 1: Dane on the other night, Lisa Much singing, We're dancing,
Speaker 1: you know, George Lopez and god, you know, doing the
Speaker 1: Morning Show in New York, you'd be on the set
Speaker 1: doing a story and in the commercial break, a celebrity
Speaker 1: would just come walking in, you know, like Cheryl from
Speaker 1: Charlie's Angels, and I'm like, oh my god, I used
Speaker 1: to have your poster on. Wow, that's awesome. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: so many of them. I can't even can't even you know, say, oh,
Speaker 1: I have a favorite that I've done. There are favorite people,
Speaker 1: like in sports that I loved working with right right
Speaker 1: athletes who were always you know, a little nicer than others.
Speaker 1: But it's just a god, I've done so many I
Speaker 1: don't even I couldn't even come up with a name
Speaker 1: for you. Let's reverse it. And you don't have to
Speaker 1: answer this because I never answer it. Do you have
Speaker 1: anyone that you despised that was so hard to interview
Speaker 1: that they just didn't want to be there? Not hard
Speaker 1: to interview? Uh, there are some people that I and
Speaker 1: I don't despise a lot of people. There are some
Speaker 1: I do despise, mostly sports stars, because you know, I
Speaker 1: had a chance to be in the locker rooms with
Speaker 1: everybody for a long time, right, and people always used
Speaker 1: to say to me, Oh, that must be so cool.
Speaker 1: You're in the Yankee locker room with Jeter and a
Speaker 1: Rod and all these gain and the Giants and stray
Speaker 1: Hand and all these And I said, you know what
Speaker 1: to be at the start, it was very cool. Now
Speaker 1: in my career it's how quick can I get in
Speaker 1: and how quick can I get out? I want to
Speaker 1: get out, But yes, there are I could. There are
Speaker 1: a couple of people who I just think are kind
Speaker 1: of like dbs, if you know, what I'm saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: and you don't have to name names, you know, at
Speaker 1: this point in the game, like I don't heal anyone
Speaker 1: because why bother? Right, it doesn't right, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: But even even when I see them like on Twitter,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you just you just want to you just
Speaker 1: want to clock them in the head, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, right, And the thing is, you know, and
Speaker 1: I've seen it firsthand, you know. There they are athletes,
Speaker 1: not really celebrities, but athletes. These guys make so much
Speaker 1: money and they are they're in a world that we
Speaker 1: will never know unless you win the lottery, You'll never
Speaker 1: know what it's like to be an athlete and pampered
Speaker 1: and not paying for anything and treated like you are
Speaker 1: absolute royalty and you and you're still a putts, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You still act like the weight
Speaker 1: of the world is on your shoulders with all the
Speaker 1: things going on around you in the world and people
Speaker 1: who are suffering, and you've got a life of a king,
Speaker 1: and you're still you're still a dB, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And I look it up. If you don't
Speaker 1: know what that means, people, Yeah, yeah, just initials, just initials. Understood. Well,
Speaker 1: I think you're delightful. I'm so happy to meet you.
Speaker 1: There's so many people in this business I've never met,
Speaker 1: So anytime we get like somebody I haven't met before
Speaker 1: and they're nice, I pop because because you know, some
Speaker 1: people can be dbs as well. That's what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is there's no reason not to be nice. It's like,
Speaker 1: what's the what's the point? You know? Well, some people
Speaker 1: are just miserable in life and they're being change. But
Speaker 1: you're delightful and and I wish you the best of luck.
Speaker 1: Do you have any questions? No? I mean I talked
Speaker 1: to Scout a couple of months ago, right after me
Speaker 1: Jean passed away, and he kind of told, you know,
Speaker 1: the whole story about like kind of what he was saying.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'll throw one actually, just you know,
Speaker 1: from the the kind of the studying factor. When talking
Speaker 1: to mean Gene, you know, and seeing his style it
Speaker 1: was so different. I see a lot of the elements
Speaker 1: in you because you had that classic kind of like
Speaker 1: look and sound. Whatever. Do you ever go back to
Speaker 1: watch any of the old stuff from older guys, to
Speaker 1: not even just wrestling, older announcers, just to kind of borrow,
Speaker 1: you know what traits if I if I see well, listen.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is the what was it the last
Speaker 1: pay per view I did with Peter Rosenberg. We did
Speaker 1: the kickoff show to not Money in the Bank. I
Speaker 1: think Extreme Rules was the last one, right, Extreme Rules
Speaker 1: before Summer Slant, and I literally opened the show as
Speaker 1: the camera's pushing in, I'm like, you know, in the
Speaker 1: words of mean Gene Oakland, all right, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: come on in. Yes, yeah, and I'll just and a
Speaker 1: lot of folks, a lot of folks have written me,
Speaker 1: especially when I first started, they said that I reminded
Speaker 1: them of mean Gene, probably because as I probably acted
Speaker 1: just like him. And I'm just so used to doing
Speaker 1: it now, you know, all right, ladies and gentlemen, you know,
Speaker 1: but he was Listen. The great thing about him back
Speaker 1: when is that he was still the announcers. The interviewers
Speaker 1: were part of the shtick back then and part of
Speaker 1: the show. And he was as big a part of
Speaker 1: of of any segment as anybody. And he you know,
Speaker 1: he made half of those segments. And listen, he turned
Speaker 1: the macho man and Haul Cogan interviews into something special,
Speaker 1: whereas today it would have just been you know, my
Speaker 1: guest at this time, come on in, and the and
Speaker 1: the and the the superstar speaks and then they walk away.
Speaker 1: Back then, it was just he was such a part
Speaker 1: of the stick that you just mean, Gene was a character,
Speaker 1: and so you know, like Bobby the Brain and Jesse
Speaker 1: Ventura when those guys were announcing and Guerrilla Monsoon, the
Speaker 1: announcers were all characters of the show and it was
Speaker 1: just all part of of the one group, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. But it's just I love it. I
Speaker 1: love the whole thing. We just did a thing last
Speaker 1: week for our Patreon about bloopers. Was it last week
Speaker 1: or two? It was two weeks ago? What it doesn't mean?
Speaker 1: And I love when Jeane is interviewing Sid and a
Speaker 1: lot and we're a live pal that is my favorite.
Speaker 1: Mean Gene, he says, can we do this again? He's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're a lot? You know, this bops be huge every
Speaker 1: time I watch it. But you know what it is, though,
Speaker 1: I just like what I love about Scott's approach is
Speaker 1: that the one thing that I look at when I
Speaker 1: watch announcers and being broadcasting on such a minor level.
Speaker 1: It's the act like you've been there, model, and like
Speaker 1: you look like you've been in front of the camera
Speaker 1: for fifty years. You're you know you you're so comfortable
Speaker 1: and and it's a lost art. But no, but it's
Speaker 1: a lost art where I feel like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of the kind of the modern day sports announcer is
Speaker 1: more in the fan approach, and you got to act
Speaker 1: like you've been there. Me and Jeane he could have
Speaker 1: been out drinking half the guys at the bar because
Speaker 1: he didn't he was there, you know. And that's a
Speaker 1: big thing that I feel it's lost in broadcasting as
Speaker 1: a whole, is you got to be as big as
Speaker 1: that guy who's making one hundred million dollars. That's that's
Speaker 1: really a lost art, right, You can't, right, you never
Speaker 1: listen as big as these people are all you never.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm so excited to interview. You know.
Speaker 1: It's just hey man, I'm just as I'm just as
Speaker 1: big as you are. We're both here together. Let's have
Speaker 1: a fun conversation. You're not going to do anything to
Speaker 1: throw me off. And it's just you know, I tell
Speaker 1: the young kids today, it's all about practice, practice, practice,
Speaker 1: you want to look comfortable in front of that camera.
Speaker 1: If you're reading a prompter, you don't want to make
Speaker 1: it seem like you're reading a prompter. You have that
Speaker 1: that's an art in itself. And the mirror, yeah, right right,
Speaker 1: practice in the mirror, practice with the radio, and it's
Speaker 1: one of those things where you know, to me, it's
Speaker 1: almost like I've never been big on on drugs, even
Speaker 1: college or whatever, but to me, when I'm on television,
Speaker 1: that's like my high. Yeah, when you're a live show,
Speaker 1: When you're doing a live show where you're sitting out
Speaker 1: there at a WWE on the side of the ring,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, you're not thinking of the bills you
Speaker 1: have to pay or any troubles in your life. It
Speaker 1: all goes away for that time being and it's just,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's great. But yeah, practice, practice, practice
Speaker 1: gets you comfortable in front of the camera amazing, and
Speaker 1: it gets you to Carnegie Hall too. So's there you go. Well, Scott,
Speaker 1: as I said, delightful. I enjoyed our time together here.
Speaker 1: I am going to follow you as soon as we
Speaker 1: are done everything because you're charming and I like you.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I need more Scott in my life,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to do that. Can you tell the
Speaker 1: people where you can be found and what you're doing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: listen at Scott Stanford One is my Twitter and and
Speaker 1: most of the stuff I put up is just funny stuff.
Speaker 1: The Suki and Scott Show on Facebook is the show
Speaker 1: we've been doing every night. It's this great fun stuff
Speaker 1: on that show. And again we started it to help
Speaker 1: people through quarantine, something fun, non newsy, to get them
Speaker 1: through the night. Uh. Turned into almost a full time
Speaker 1: thing for me now. But yeah, it's it's a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. And you could if you just search me
Speaker 1: on on Facebook. I got a few pages and if
Speaker 1: you if you go look Francine, you'll see all the
Speaker 1: clips that I have up from even doing sports and
Speaker 1: news in New York. It was always about having fun
Speaker 1: and entertaining an audience rather than that same you know,

Speaker 1: I was always a sports guy for people who did
Speaker 1: not like to watch sports. He's reeling in everybody, and
Speaker 1: I love the style. Well, Scott, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for joining us today. Continued success to you, and hopefully
Speaker 1: down the line we will meet face to face because

Speaker 1: you need me, I'll be there. Take care, Scott, Thank
Speaker 1: you great, Thank you guys. You know I sound I
Speaker 1: sound like a brother. That's what I'm trying to I'm
Speaker 1: trying to make sure we got some lighting up when
Speaker 1: the house at the time had to help with the setup,
Speaker 1: whether it's lighting, recording anything from top to bottom. So
Speaker 1: that that was what was cool about that. So the
Speaker 1: the crew is on the zoom call and we're sitting
Speaker 1: there and there talking right before we shot him out
Speaker 1: a day before we did time like a run through
Speaker 1: of here's the house, here's what we're gonna do this,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that. So he wrote me a a
Speaker 1: little like little little side. You know, it was like
Speaker 1: that he couldn't use the Man of Steel, that's my
Speaker 1: ga nick name. But because obviously, you know, he didn't
Speaker 1: want to get sued righted in my best so they
Speaker 1: came up with yeah. Yeah. So he came up with
Speaker 1: the Bringer of Pain. So I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: let's roll with it. And here it sounds sounds very
Speaker 1: eaties all start put on the red and yellow wall
Speaker 1: about it. How can we make this very wrestling like?
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, we'll tell me what you want to do.
Speaker 1: I was like, the first thing that came to mine
Speaker 1: was I was like, I need a chair because first
Speaker 1: he's like, can you drop an elbow on the grand craftics.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're going to jump. I think you
Speaker 1: to jump, but do you want to do like a
Speaker 1: dusty elbow? And he was like, what's the dutsy? I'm like,
Speaker 1: I get a better I mean, I've got a better idea.
Speaker 1: I got a better idea. Let me let me try
Speaker 1: this chair. And once I did the chat, I loved
Speaker 1: it because it was just weird. They see the grand
Speaker 1: practice flying everywhere, but that was my fancy your fly.
Speaker 1: It was definitely my idea and it was funny. Really,
Speaker 1: did you really think they were no adjusting reference? You're
Speaker 1: talking to these people and you like, if you say, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll just get this gimmick over here and you're looking like,
Speaker 1: what does that mean? You know, like you need this time.
Speaker 1: I laughed so hard. I just cried God glass to
Speaker 1: Philly Cheese. Yeah, he loved the commercial. It was very,
Speaker 1: very fun, and I wish you continued. Only one way
Speaker 1: to end it, like my darn nuts. Let go all right,
Speaker 1: let's break him in here and talk about tip Jar Masks.
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, Tip jar Masks been a member
Speaker 1: of the Eyes up Here family for the last couple
Speaker 1: of months, and as the service industry and the people
Speaker 1: who have been displaced due to COVID issues in their
Speaker 1: neck of the woods have not been able to work,
Speaker 1: Tip Jar Masks has been helping you out and has
Speaker 1: been covering your face to make you safe because they're
Speaker 1: giving back to those displaced service workers by donating a
Speaker 1: portion of the proceeds to the workers that haven't been
Speaker 1: able to work in Francy. And you've got your beautiful
Speaker 1: rainbow multi Ti DII colored mask right there. I've got
Speaker 1: my blue camo. My past settles are so pretty. There's
Speaker 1: so many designs to choose from. I feel like Tip
Speaker 1: jar has been with us longer than a couple of months. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's been it's been ten for the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I want to say they've been eight. Yeah, they've been
Speaker 1: with us for the journey. It's a journey. A couple
Speaker 1: of months have changed, Okay, Yes, very comfortable, lightweight masks
Speaker 1: that protect you and you look good while being protected.
Speaker 1: They come, I say it every week. They come in
Speaker 1: a field plastic container that is sanitary, so you know
Speaker 1: you're the only one that has touched that mask. And again,
Speaker 1: some proceeds will go to out of work people in
Speaker 1: the industry, which is a great cause to get to.
Speaker 1: So who knows how long this will continue. I mean
Speaker 1: we're at the end of twenty twenty going into twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, and honestly, I don't see an end coming.
Speaker 1: So I suggest that y'all go to tip drum ask
Speaker 1: dot com and by yourself and your loved ones some
Speaker 1: really good quality masks. Throw them in the laundry. They
Speaker 1: wash up beautifully. You'll have it first great ad words.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's cool thing. It's like you're wearing a
Speaker 1: piece of garments on your face, you know, like a
Speaker 1: sweatshirt or something. And for me, I look at me,
Speaker 1: Look how color coordinated I am today? Let's see, I
Speaker 1: got the blue on my sweatshirt, I got the blue
Speaker 1: on my hat, and I got the blue camo, so
Speaker 1: I wear and white. So both my masks go with
Speaker 1: what I'm wearing, which is great. But there are several
Speaker 1: different themes and colors choose from women, men, have children's
Speaker 1: sizes or something for everyone in your family. So tip
Speaker 1: your mask dot com give back while taking care of

Speaker 1: bring up when you said he was a wrestling Fanily,

Speaker 1: to have you on, really, I am. We were just
Speaker 1: talking about it, and you know, I I do a
Speaker 1: lifestyle podcast, right but we had mostly like wrestling people
Speaker 1: on and it's so refreshing to have somebody that's not
Speaker 1: in the wrestling business and that, like I know, from
Speaker 1: another genre of life. So I'm super excited to have
Speaker 1: you on today. And I know a little about wrestling.
Speaker 1: My kid got me back into I was a big
Speaker 1: wrestling fan when I was a kid, Okay, and then he,
Speaker 1: you know, I got I was out of it for
Speaker 1: a long time and then he got me back into it. So, okay,
Speaker 1: is he a WWE fan? Yeah, But you know I
Speaker 1: got him into the other stuff. I got him in
Speaker 1: the you know, he had the WWE app so he's
Speaker 1: watching the old ec W stuff and him can you
Speaker 1: tell him I'm not really a slut like in real life.
Speaker 1: I'm a good person. It's a character. He's only nine.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he knows what that worn't you've
Speaker 1: got okay, good, that's good. We had a couple of years.
Speaker 1: Wead a couple of years. When he's older, you can
Speaker 1: let him know. So how is your quarantine going? Like,
Speaker 1: have you been sequestering yourself or are you one of
Speaker 1: those people that have been out on the belt. No,
Speaker 1: I mean I you know, I'm staying in. I visit
Speaker 1: a couple of friends here and there around the corner,
Speaker 1: but you know, wearing a mask, going to the store
Speaker 1: and just you know, yeah, you know, just obeying the
Speaker 1: you know, in New Jersey, we get we're the second
Speaker 1: hardest hit state. That's where I'm exactly exactly. I haven't
Speaker 1: been anywhere in like nine weeks. I got left my house.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just got my car and drive. I never
Speaker 1: thought I'd be like that, you know, And I do
Speaker 1: fifty five miles an hour to sixty five. I'm the
Speaker 1: guy in the slow lan. I'm like, I got nowhere
Speaker 1: to go. I just want to get out of the house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I had to take one ride because my car
Speaker 1: needed service and I like dropped the car off. I'd
Speaker 1: run into my husband's car and then came right home
Speaker 1: and then picked the car up. I didn't go anywhere else.
Speaker 1: And that's that's the most I've done. I haven't been
Speaker 1: to a store. My kids won't go to like for walks,
Speaker 1: because my daughter's like, we're going to get the krona.
Speaker 1: I can't leave, can't leave the house. She's nine, she's ten,
Speaker 1: And that's sad. Yeah, that is yeah, it's really I'm
Speaker 1: trying to explain to them, like, not everybody has Corona
Speaker 1: walking around. You could take a walk, it'll be okay.
Speaker 1: But she's like, no, Mom, Corona's out there. I can't
Speaker 1: do it. I'm like, okay, well just stay home. So
Speaker 1: that's what we've been doing. But anyway, I've done some
Speaker 1: research on you and I have some ball of points
Speaker 1: Ione talk about. You're a Brooklyn boy. I got you up.
Speaker 1: I was born in Brooklyn until about two or three
Speaker 1: years old, and then we moved into Jersey, so now
Speaker 1: Jersey really ties to Brooklyn, that's right, right, And you
Speaker 1: came from a huge family. You have six siblings, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the seven of us total Yeah, Irish Catholic. You know
Speaker 1: they are Irish Catholic. So do you ever get the
Speaker 1: Catholic guilt when you're like doing something in entertainment? That's
Speaker 1: a little bit on the raunchy side, because because my
Speaker 1: mom used to always holler at me when I would
Speaker 1: work because of what I had to wear or if
Speaker 1: I said the F word or whatever, and the guilt
Speaker 1: got to me. Did it ever get to you or
Speaker 1: did you just say, oh, who cares? It did so
Speaker 1: I was about twenty one and then I didn't care
Speaker 1: anymore and you just didn't give a shit anywhere. I
Speaker 1: get it. It really messed with me up till that age.
Speaker 1: I really thought I was going to go to hell
Speaker 1: for everything I did. I think that, like I still
Speaker 1: feel that way. I don't. You got to get it's
Speaker 1: a lot easier to life if you if you don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. You know, I spent half Yeah I
Speaker 1: need to just but my mom lives with us and
Speaker 1: she's ninety and she watches the Rosary every day. So
Speaker 1: she's always telling me, you're not going to church, you're
Speaker 1: not saying the Rosary with me, Something's going to happen.
Speaker 1: You get the Catholic guilt, like literally in your living room,
Speaker 1: Like you can't get past the guilt. She it lives
Speaker 1: with me. I can't get over it. But I saw
Speaker 1: you were you were raised Catholic and some people are,
Speaker 1: you know, they have it and some people don't. So
Speaker 1: I'm glad you got out of it. You know. I
Speaker 1: got a nine year old boy, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to raise them Catholic. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm fine. He's not going to Catholic schools like I did,
Speaker 1: but I got him in those religion classes CCD and
Speaker 1: he's got to go for eight years, like grade one
Speaker 1: through eight, and I'm like, I could, I could teach
Speaker 1: the Catholic religion in an hour. You know what, That's
Speaker 1: interesting that you say that because I started, Uh, my
Speaker 1: daughter in Catholic school right now. She's going to the
Speaker 1: sixth grade. She had her communion and her reconciliation done.
Speaker 1: My son was always in a public school because he
Speaker 1: had a praxia. He was a late talker and so
Speaker 1: I had to send him for services. So public schools
Speaker 1: good with services. But he's going into third grade and
Speaker 1: I didn't get him communion this year, and like, I'm again,
Speaker 1: I'm freaking out because I'm like, okay, second grade, you
Speaker 1: make your communion, Like what am I gonna do? We
Speaker 1: I stopped going to church because I'm having issues with
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church. So I'm like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: have to get these kids, like their their communion, their
Speaker 1: their pennant, everything, and I haven't. And that's another thing
Speaker 1: that's freaking me out, Like I don't want my kids
Speaker 1: to go to Hell because I didn't get them their
Speaker 1: their stuff, like so now I have to send them
Speaker 1: for eight years. I thought it was like one year
Speaker 1: and then they get it and it's done well because
Speaker 1: you have to like the I guess communion is like
Speaker 1: third grade, and then Confirmation is is like eighth grade. Yes,
Speaker 1: I thought maybe they could take a break and then
Speaker 1: go back. Now no, no, it's the same thing like
Speaker 1: night school. You did go back after a little while.
Speaker 1: Like school. My whole up until twelfth grade, from kennerdarten
Speaker 1: to twelfth so I had everything done for me. I
Speaker 1: never did the public school system. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so thanks Jim. I just but you know, it's great
Speaker 1: because in New Jersey now instead of going like every Tuesday,
Speaker 1: which they have to go for like an hour and
Speaker 1: a half to this religion class. They do it that
Speaker 1: you can go for one week in the summer. It's
Speaker 1: almost like a summer camp for them. Wow. And it
Speaker 1: covers everything. Yes, And it goes from like eight in
Speaker 1: the morning or eight thirty to three thirty like a
Speaker 1: school day. Oh my god, I'm so doing that. He
Speaker 1: loves it. He's like, I love this camp. Like good
Speaker 1: we knock out just in one week. We get it
Speaker 1: over with. Oh, I'm going to look into that. Thank you.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad I brought this up. Okay, back to
Speaker 1: you and your and your stuff. Yeah. So when you
Speaker 1: went to college, I read that you were like a DJ. Right,
Speaker 1: that was like one of your first things that you did.
Speaker 1: Did you think that that was going to be like
Speaker 1: your life goal or you were you just doing this
Speaker 1: because it was like something cool to do. Because I
Speaker 1: know later on you saw it Rodney Dangerfield Special and
Speaker 1: you saw Andrew Dice Clay and you said, oh, that
Speaker 1: looks cool. I maybe I want to do that. Am
Speaker 1: I right? Because this is what I'm reading online. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to study you, so I know what I'm about. No,
Speaker 1: I was always in the music I was a big
Speaker 1: music fan. I was also a big comedy fan. All
Speaker 1: my friends were in bands growing up. Okay, so but
Speaker 1: and they were playing. I just couldn't play an instrument.
Speaker 1: I tried. So I'm like, I got to get in
Speaker 1: the business somehow. Maybe as a DJ, I could you know,
Speaker 1: at least I'll be kind of in show business, you know,
Speaker 1: a kind of band thing. Because I was like a
Speaker 1: big rock and heavy metal guy eyn Moore. I was young,
Speaker 1: so I was like, maybe I could be like the
Speaker 1: heavy metal DJ in a rock club. So I was
Speaker 1: on the radio, like college radio, and I got this
Speaker 1: job at like a little small station as a DJed air,
Speaker 1: and I had my own DJ business. So I was
Speaker 1: doing that in the comedy okay. But then yeah, once
Speaker 1: but once I get on the radio and I realized
Speaker 1: I couldn't just say what I want to do and
Speaker 1: make jokes and become a personality unless you are Howard
Speaker 1: Stern back in the day. You couldn't do that. I
Speaker 1: was like, God, this sucks. So I just started writing
Speaker 1: jokes because I'm like, I was writing jokes anyway to
Speaker 1: you know, make topical jokes on the air. And I
Speaker 1: was always a big comedy panicle. Let me try doing
Speaker 1: stand up maybe that's you know the job that it
Speaker 1: will work for me. And once I get up there,
Speaker 1: once I'm like, this is what I want to do.
Speaker 1: You got helped right away, right, just because I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't have to worry about a boss. I could
Speaker 1: say whatever I want, I could wear whatever I want.
Speaker 1: I love that freedom. That's awesome. And then so you
Speaker 1: were doing stand up and then you started that Terrorizing
Speaker 1: Toe Marketers series. Yeah, okay, so I read that it
Speaker 1: was a CD, right, and I read that your ranking,
Speaker 1: I think it was on Amazon with something like two
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two thousand. You get on Howard Stern
Speaker 1: and you go to number two after a couple appearances,
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, and I would have went to number
Speaker 1: one by my website crash because I didn't have enough bandwidth.
Speaker 1: Well no, let's let's face it. Backstreet boys were really hot,
Speaker 1: and that's who is at number one. There were some
Speaker 1: credit to the Backstreet I know, I said, because yet
Speaker 1: they weren't too much men. But I really could have
Speaker 1: went to number one of my website didn't crash because
Speaker 1: he was just sending everybody to my website. When he
Speaker 1: was plugging on the air, Howard Starn so everybody went
Speaker 1: there was listening to tracks and I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't know about bandwidth or any of that crap,
Speaker 1: and it just crashed so nobody can listen. So I
Speaker 1: think that's why I got stuck at too, but I did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was at two hundred and eighty two thousand. It's
Speaker 1: amazing that number two. Those are amazing numbers, like the
Speaker 1: power of that show. And that's that's where I first
Speaker 1: found you, was on Stern. Yeah. No, he gave me
Speaker 1: a big break, you know, by playing. He loved frank calls.
Speaker 1: He heard my calls. He's like, oh my god, who
Speaker 1: is this guy? We got to have men, you know,
Speaker 1: And then I just became a regular on the show
Speaker 1: just from that, just some Frank call CD. I didn't
Speaker 1: think it was going to go anywhere. I just made
Speaker 1: it up. I was just bored at home during the
Speaker 1: day because I was a comic. I didn't have anything
Speaker 1: to do until I had a showed that night, so
Speaker 1: I would just try to keep telling marketers on the phone,
Speaker 1: just to mess with them. It's hilarious. Yeah, I got
Speaker 1: I gotta stop for one second the record the what
Speaker 1: what the what? The record? Yeah, and then you put
Speaker 1: him back on the phone. Put him? Is that the
Speaker 1: first time I heard that? I think I shipped my
Speaker 1: pants that was sitting in front of it. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was I got to tend to call. I had this
Speaker 1: guy because look, I know, we telemarketers are just trying
Speaker 1: to They're sticking to the script. They can't go off script.
Speaker 1: So I just keep messing with them. And they're like,
Speaker 1: I did get rattled, you know, because they have you know,
Speaker 1: ten people in a row going f you don't ever
Speaker 1: call here again, you know what I mean, you lose
Speaker 1: my number. Now they do not call us, and they
Speaker 1: finally get something in the phone like me, like, all right,
Speaker 1: this guy's being being stupid or an idiot, but he's
Speaker 1: still on the phone. I might have a sale here. Well, Daniel,
Speaker 1: but Daniel back, I did that for a living, you did,
Speaker 1: I did? I did listen to this. I did accidental
Speaker 1: death and dismemberment and show. Oh Jesus, no one wanted it.
Speaker 1: And I don't blame them because, like I remember, port
Speaker 1: of the script was if you get run over by
Speaker 1: a bus and you lose a limb and everybody's like, well,
Speaker 1: why would I get run over by a bus? Like
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna need this insurance. But you have your
Speaker 1: like your superior hanging over you saying keep reading, keep reading. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they they push you to keep going. I was
Speaker 1: hung up on so many times. So I mean, if
Speaker 1: I had someone like you on the other end, like
Speaker 1: going back and forth with answer, I mean, that would
Speaker 1: be that would make my night. Because no one ever
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to me. I always knew, like you,
Speaker 1: you know, they got a supervisor liston. Instead of don't
Speaker 1: curse or tell them you don't want the product, they
Speaker 1: stay on the line with you, which is great. So
Speaker 1: I had that advantage. I never cursed. And then I
Speaker 1: I you know, I still string along. I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to get the information whatever I was doing. So I
Speaker 1: never said I didn't want the product, and I would
Speaker 1: just keep it clean. And I know I keep on
Speaker 1: the phone. That's hilarious. Now do you remember Ian from
Speaker 1: the Stern Show? Oh? Absolutely not now, not you. I'm
Speaker 1: asking Jim if you remember said Ian? You said you remember?
Speaker 1: I said, do you remember Ian? I'm asking Jim? Wait
Speaker 1: too long? Oh no, no, no, no, I see I
Speaker 1: worked at Stern. It was about five. I don't remember
Speaker 1: crossing passages when I worked paths how long I was
Speaker 1: there from about the end of the summer five through
Speaker 1: getting onto serious about mid oh six. What did you
Speaker 1: do for the show? So I worked back work backstage quote,
Speaker 1: I worked in the office. I was working basically in
Speaker 1: like his promotions department. But then I was working at
Speaker 1: his office in his building, like his personal office. So
Speaker 1: he probably wouldn't have seen me where I was stationed,
Speaker 1: but I was hooked the first time I heard yes
Speaker 1: see when you said you had a picture of Jim,
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, yeah, no, I got it from one
Speaker 1: of the comedy shows, because whenever he would come down
Speaker 1: to Macgoobi's, I'd showed up to mcgoobies from where where
Speaker 1: I live in Virginia is the only place that he's
Speaker 1: been to in like a one hundred mile radius in me.
Speaker 1: And I got a picture signed after I got a
Speaker 1: couple of DVDs and nice night out with the wife,
Speaker 1: and you know that's where I got the picture. So
Speaker 1: you're saying that I was still going on the show
Speaker 1: back then, because I remember I was there the last
Speaker 1: day when he did his last day regular radioh Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the greatest day of my life. That was unbelievable.
Speaker 1: That day I carried the outdoor Yeah, I carried the
Speaker 1: tickle chair. In the line of the march to the
Speaker 1: new building. I carried the tickle chair. Yeah, I remember
Speaker 1: he marched over the serious Yeah, I was there. He
Speaker 1: actually mentioned my name and his speech like I want
Speaker 1: to thank Jim for his brank calls. I was like, holy,
Speaker 1: I can't believe he mentioned his name and I like
Speaker 1: that closing speech. So that was a great day. Well,
Speaker 1: it was. It was a great opportunity for you. He
Speaker 1: I mean, he really helped you out with you know
Speaker 1: this this Telemarketers CD. When you released the second one,
Speaker 1: that's when you caught the eye of Jimmy Kimmel and
Speaker 1: Adam Carolla for crank Yanchors, Right, is that what they
Speaker 1: contact you? Yeah? Well they were big fans of the
Speaker 1: Stern Show, so they would they would listen every day,
Speaker 1: and Adam Bothlan was sitting in, you know, on the show,
Speaker 1: just like a bunch of other comics people were already
Speaker 1: already lying got the full time gig there, so they
Speaker 1: heard my stuff. I never met him, and they didn't
Speaker 1: know who I was like, who is this dude? We
Speaker 1: got this Frank call show. We want him on our
Speaker 1: show because he heard him on from Howard sterned playing them. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that was the only unknown comic they picked for
Speaker 1: that show that you know, Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Crawl, they
Speaker 1: were already doing The Man Show at the time, so
Speaker 1: they're really popular. Then they got Sarah Silverman, Dave Chappelle,
Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan wanted the Sykes. I was. I was the
Speaker 1: only comic that was pretty much unknown that got that gig,
Speaker 1: which is great. Did you come up with like special
Speaker 1: Adam and the Bobby Fletcher character yourself? Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: doing a special ed on my on my CDs and
Speaker 1: then it was just me but a different name. It's
Speaker 1: just my voice and a different name, just being a
Speaker 1: dick basically they were and I felt again, there's my Catholic.
Speaker 1: I felt bad laughing at the special Ed character. It's
Speaker 1: so amazing, but it was hilarious. Those characters were so great.
Speaker 1: That led you to working with Eminem and how was he?
Speaker 1: He was great? You know. We found that through a
Speaker 1: grapevine that Eminem was a big fan of Crank Anger.
Speaker 1: Some we're like, really, we never know who's watching you.
Speaker 1: We never knew because the show didn't really take off
Speaker 1: the first season, but they guaranteed us a second season. Okay,
Speaker 1: they give it a shot, and then you know, we're
Speaker 1: like it's gotten really no traction and we got called
Speaker 1: win that Eminem like the show like wow, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: we didn't think it got out that far, like as
Speaker 1: so many people could watch it. I guess he used
Speaker 1: to watch it with his daughter. You know, that was
Speaker 1: their favorite show. And his daughter's like, how come you're
Speaker 1: not on that show? Dad. He's like, well I will.
Speaker 1: I'll just make a phone call im Eminem, I could
Speaker 1: do whatever I want. And he was always making prank
Speaker 1: calls on his old CDs anyway, so he was a
Speaker 1: big prank call guy. So actually I know, you know
Speaker 1: he's on we go to you know, Detroit, to his
Speaker 1: eight mile studio and record a bunch of calls that
Speaker 1: he liked the characters I did. So we did a
Speaker 1: whole day of phone calls. It was amazing. He was
Speaker 1: a great dude. Wow. And and at this time, are
Speaker 1: you hosting that metal show or that did that come?
Speaker 1: Like afterwards? That was afterwards that started in this is
Speaker 1: around two thousand three, two thousand four, So you're you're
Speaker 1: you're doing your stand up, you're doing crank anchors, you're
Speaker 1: doing your your telemarketing things, and then you get back
Speaker 1: to the metal scene and you get to host this
Speaker 1: and that was on VH one Classics. Yeah. VH one
Speaker 1: actually started two thousand and eight. Yeah, VH one Classic Okay,
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight to twenty fifteen. We did it
Speaker 1: for seven years. That's that's incredible, did you Yeah? I
Speaker 1: guess you enjoyed it because that's your jounder, right. The
Speaker 1: metal that's what I like growing up, especially Catholic. I
Speaker 1: was always getting in trouble. I was always grounded. I
Speaker 1: had to stay in so I just made prank phone
Speaker 1: calls because I was bored, and I would listen to
Speaker 1: heavy metal because I had to. All the brothers, So
Speaker 1: that's all. My whole childhood was that. So when I
Speaker 1: get back on TV, is you know, doing prank calls
Speaker 1: and then co hosted a heavy metal show. I was
Speaker 1: fans of all those bands anyway. I was a big
Speaker 1: music fan anyway, So I didn't it was a unbelievable gig.
Speaker 1: I would have done it for free, right. I was
Speaker 1: just gonna say, like, what was the moment, like your
Speaker 1: your biggest markout movement, Like when you you get to
Speaker 1: meet all these bands, right, what was the Who were
Speaker 1: the one band that you were like, holy shit, I
Speaker 1: cannot believe I'm interviewing these people. I think it was
Speaker 1: like I think it was the first season we did
Speaker 1: Angus Young and Brian Johnson. They were in New York
Speaker 1: promoting an album. We did an interview with them. I
Speaker 1: just could not believe I was in Angus's presence. See,
Speaker 1: that's that's great when you get to do stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and it's become a time capsule too, because I mean
Speaker 1: guys that have passed away and those kind of casual
Speaker 1: like environment that you guys had, those are like unprecedented
Speaker 1: interviews at this point. They're like metal history at this point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we had We had Ronnie James Deal on the show
Speaker 1: twice before he passed away, you know, and stuff like
Speaker 1: so we had a lot of those guys. Janey Lane
Speaker 1: from War was on the show like two weeks ago
Speaker 1: before we unfortunately passed away too. So then I read
Speaker 1: that you won an Emmy for Inside the NFL and
Speaker 1: the thing. And I don't know if this is true
Speaker 1: or not, but it's said that you used your your
Speaker 1: emmy as leverage to get girls into bed. Is that?
Speaker 1: Of course? Are you admitting that to me? Yeah? And
Speaker 1: it worked, it worked well, yeah, you know, I think
Speaker 1: I think they closed the deal probably really. You know,
Speaker 1: some girls impressed that I got guy's got an Emmy, like, wow,
Speaker 1: I can't leave it. I'm like, yeah, I just got
Speaker 1: it from working on the show I did. It was
Speaker 1: really an Emmy. But yeah, I think I had to
Speaker 1: pull that out if I wasn't, like, I don't know
Speaker 1: if this is going to work or not, you know,
Speaker 1: if I'm going to close the deal with this girl,
Speaker 1: so let me bring up the Emmy. So it's not
Speaker 1: your stunning personality or good looks at your mmy? Is that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was sometimes that that's what I needed. I needed.
Speaker 1: It's just like, you know, someone's showing off. Like I
Speaker 1: didn't really have too much to show off, but I
Speaker 1: could show that off, right. No, I read it and
Speaker 1: I thought it was funny, and so I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to break your balls. But yeah, no, it's just like
Speaker 1: it So it's great, it's the guy. It's like the
Speaker 1: guy that puts the smart books out before a girl
Speaker 1: comes over his apartment, Like, yeah, like he reads those books.
Speaker 1: You know he doesn't. But she's like, oh wow, this
Speaker 1: guy's educated. Oh yeah, I love those kind of books.
Speaker 1: It just I just love a good book. That guy's
Speaker 1: b s and two he's an intellectual. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: love this. Or you know, she goes, why don't we
Speaker 1: watch your Dance with the Stars. You know, I didn't
Speaker 1: really like that at first, but I tuned in one.
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good show. He's just lying. You're just
Speaker 1: adapting to your environment, is what you're doing. So I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, I'll blog because it's a real emmy.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like it was plastic. I mean, I really
Speaker 1: did get it. But imagine she picks it up. It's
Speaker 1: very lightweight. There's no weight to it. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: Tell me a little bit about Meat de Crease. That
Speaker 1: was a hidden camera series that me and my buddy
Speaker 1: Don Jamison did. We just go around with a hidden
Speaker 1: camera and we decided to do it on our own,
Speaker 1: and then Comedy Central took a liking to it, so
Speaker 1: we did a pilot. Comedy Central used to have a
Speaker 1: broadband channel in their net channel, so they put the
Speaker 1: show on there. Stuff that was a little too edgy
Speaker 1: for the actual network. That's what they said. It was
Speaker 1: deemed too mean spirited. Yeah, give me an example of
Speaker 1: what you mean by mean spirited. What the what's the
Speaker 1: meanest thing that you've done with someone? Well, you know
Speaker 1: the thing what our stuff was, we didn't at the end,
Speaker 1: like impractical joke. There's a lot of shows we didn't
Speaker 1: show to reveal like hey, we're just joking like oh
Speaker 1: you got me? Oh whatever like that. Yeah, our yeah, pump,
Speaker 1: like our stuff just faded to black, and you were like,
Speaker 1: what happened? I didn't like them to sell. I'm just
Speaker 1: going to go, whoa, that was okay? What do you
Speaker 1: think One time we took I want to hear something funny?
Speaker 1: All right, this is what we did. We took we
Speaker 1: had girlfriends and we took flowers off someone's grave and
Speaker 1: gave to our girlfriends and filmed it and they were
Speaker 1: all excited. Whatever. We filmed that, and then by two
Speaker 1: weeks they were that we got them flowers. And then
Speaker 1: two weeks later, when we edited that footage was taking
Speaker 1: off the grave given it to them. We showed them
Speaker 1: where we got the flowers from. Okay, my girlfriend thought
Speaker 1: it was funny because she had a sixth sense of humor.
Speaker 1: And Don's girlfriend broke up with him. She was so mad.
Speaker 1: You know who didn't find that funny? Jesus, Jesus. Yes,
Speaker 1: if I worried about that, that was okay. I remember
Speaker 1: one time I did stand up on George Lopez when
Speaker 1: he had that light night talk show, right and I
Speaker 1: did a penis joke, something about my penis I they
Speaker 1: get and my mother watched it. How could you make
Speaker 1: a joke like that. Your niece that's eleven years old
Speaker 1: is watching. I go, I go, Mom. When I write jokes,
Speaker 1: my eleven year old niece is not in my mind.
Speaker 1: If it is, I wouldn't be a comic. So I
Speaker 1: don't worry about that stuff. So yeah, And people in
Speaker 1: your family must have to have a very thick skin
Speaker 1: if you incorporate them, you know, into your act, Like
Speaker 1: did any did anybody ever like take word with you, like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I kiple you said that about me?
Speaker 1: Or are they cool with it? Well, if they come
Speaker 1: to see me, I would just drop those jokes that night.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, never. And then my girlfriend too, if
Speaker 1: I had new girlfriend jokes, if I had a girlfriend
Speaker 1: at the time, if she was in the back of room,
Speaker 1: I just skipped those jokes that night. Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: did them. You would have to win another animy to
Speaker 1: get her in the bed, and that's not yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: on the way home. Yeah I got that's hilarious. I'd
Speaker 1: always tell my girlfriend, I go listen, I'm just this
Speaker 1: is my work. I'm just bitching about you at my work,
Speaker 1: just like you do at your job. You bitch about
Speaker 1: me at your job the things I do, so I
Speaker 1: just have a bigger audience for we're doing the same thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like if I was your wife or girlfriend, I
Speaker 1: would let you say whatever you want it about me
Speaker 1: because I never, like, even when I worked, I never
Speaker 1: took offence. Like the guys would come up and say,
Speaker 1: do you mind if I call you this? I say,
Speaker 1: you can call me whatever you want. I don't care, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I know we're friends and we're acting out there, so
Speaker 1: you have the floor like I Well, they took it.
Speaker 1: You know, I've been called every name in the book,
Speaker 1: but it never bothered me. You know, I think it's funny, right,
Speaker 1: It's a nightclub thing. It's a it's an arena thing,
Speaker 1: it's a wrestling thing. So you just go now to
Speaker 1: my night That's what I do at night. That's my job.
Speaker 1: And when I'm doing today, I'm normal. My friend was
Speaker 1: nervous about that meeting. Is I mean my son meeting
Speaker 1: his teachers. He's like that, I don't curse, don't be inappropriate.
Speaker 1: I don't I know how to act like. I don't
Speaker 1: go in there cursing and saying the airport every third word.
Speaker 1: When I go meet your teacher, I know how to
Speaker 1: act in public. I met at a nightclub at night.
Speaker 1: It's different, right, you take on a different character. Oh
Speaker 1: that's hysterical. You're going to walk into to the you know,
Speaker 1: the school and do your stand up in front of
Speaker 1: his new teacher or something like these kids are crazy.
Speaker 1: How about your your podcast comedy Metal Midgets. I understand
Speaker 1: the comedy, I understand the metal. Where do the midgets
Speaker 1: come in? You know? I just needed three words for
Speaker 1: some reason, like you don't kicked it out of the
Speaker 1: air well for I do a show on on Serious
Speaker 1: XM and Aussie's Boneyard and the hard Rock Channel. It's
Speaker 1: called Metal Midgets. Because I want to medal in the title.
Speaker 1: They said, you come up with a name for your show,
Speaker 1: So I'm like metal and everything else was taken metal whatever,
Speaker 1: So I said metal midgets. It flows who else have
Speaker 1: metal midgets? And and I want to call my podcast
Speaker 1: comedy metal Midges because there's more of comedy. But now
Speaker 1: I change it to everybody is awful but okay? So
Speaker 1: that okay, but the midges doesn't mean anything. I just
Speaker 1: drew it in there just to throw it in. I
Speaker 1: thought it was clever anyway. And did you say I
Speaker 1: liked it? Did you say you had something that you
Speaker 1: wanted to bring up? Yeah? I wanted to just say.
Speaker 1: So the podcast, which I'm a huge fan, I haven't
Speaker 1: been listening to basically for the whole time you've been
Speaker 1: doing it, just moving over to barstool in the last
Speaker 1: six months or so now. My wife and I have
Speaker 1: been contributors to the podcast on many occasions. I've told
Speaker 1: you this and the other interviews that we've done, but
Speaker 1: you actually went as far as to say that my
Speaker 1: wife was the female you with one of our submissions
Speaker 1: that we sent, because she sounds so angry sometimes with
Speaker 1: what she sends in to you from these mom Facebook
Speaker 1: groups and stuff that that we submit, that you actually
Speaker 1: refer to my wife as the female you and that
Speaker 1: was a huge badge of honor for this household name.
Speaker 1: It's either comes up as lit or Elizabeth, and I
Speaker 1: know who you're talking about. Yeah, oh dude, she yeah,
Speaker 1: And you even responded to her one night. You must
Speaker 1: have been at a show backstage or something, and it
Speaker 1: was on a Friday night and she sent you like
Speaker 1: two or three in a row, and then she was like,
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry for like sending all these to you,
Speaker 1: and you wrote back like, no, no, this is great,
Speaker 1: this is this is awesome stuff because she's got a
Speaker 1: lot of anger and she's got some good content. I'm
Speaker 1: always fascinated, Like it's mostly my show is more for guys,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just bitching about whatever, and I make
Speaker 1: fun of everybody, including women on it, and yeah, I
Speaker 1: get it, it's not for everybody. But while I'm always
Speaker 1: fascinating when I got to know the woman that send
Speaker 1: them emails, how annoyed they are by these Facebook moms
Speaker 1: and all the goofy stuff that they do, and I'm
Speaker 1: all fascinated by it. And I know there's only about
Speaker 1: six of them that send those emails. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she she sends gold I mean stuff that. And we
Speaker 1: actually we did one of our Patreon episodes we did
Speaker 1: like kind of like a tribute, and we did a
Speaker 1: similar thing, and she came on and read some of
Speaker 1: the ones that she would, you know, kind of pull
Speaker 1: and send you. I mean, and it's just ridiculous the
Speaker 1: stuff that's going on. And now with all this coronavirus
Speaker 1: stuff and the corniness with people doing school and the
Speaker 1: principal's office and all this shit, it is like it's
Speaker 1: got you, dude. You have like six months of material
Speaker 1: just based off of like one month of coronavirus. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was trying to stay away from metaphors like that,
Speaker 1: but then after a while, in my god, at least
Speaker 1: I'm not making fun of the coronavirus. I'm just making
Speaker 1: fun of the corniness that's going around, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: people having drinks at home and call them quarantinees. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like you don't want to gain any weight. You
Speaker 1: don't want to gain the COVID nineteen you know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: have you been trying to like, I know nothing's open yet,
Speaker 1: but do you have any dates coming up that you're
Speaker 1: going to be doing stand up because like for me,
Speaker 1: like all of my conventions have been like canceled. And
Speaker 1: there's a couple that I have later in the year
Speaker 1: that they're teetering, like they don't know because you take
Speaker 1: pictures with fans and it's hard to do like a
Speaker 1: picture with the six feet It's like, hey, how you
Speaker 1: doing over there? Like do you have anything coming up
Speaker 1: that you think is going to like go through? Well,
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, I'm doing a show down in Atlantic City,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. They're doing these driving County shows. Oh where what?
Speaker 1: I don't It's in a parking lot in Atlantic City.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly where yet they're going to give me,
Speaker 1: but they've done it for like the last four weeks.
Speaker 1: People pay and they rig the sound system up in
Speaker 1: your car like an old drive in movie, and you
Speaker 1: sit in your car and the audio and you're on
Speaker 1: like a flatbed truck standing there doing it and they
Speaker 1: beat the horn when they like a joke. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: love that. That's great because I always wanted to see
Speaker 1: you at We're gotta where God is like my place,
Speaker 1: like I love we one never got I'm doing that
Speaker 1: Creezy of Kids tour. You know, we're supposed to do
Speaker 1: it out in April, Me, Robert Kelly, rich Foss, and
Speaker 1: Ron Bennington would do it. Got rescheduled to uh I
Speaker 1: think the night before Halloween would do to Bargotta. Okay,
Speaker 1: well I might have to come and see you there
Speaker 1: because I I yeah, I've been trying. We've been trying
Speaker 1: to catch you and Jim Brewer, and I could never.
Speaker 1: I can never get there because I have every two months,
Speaker 1: me and my girlfriend have a night out and we
Speaker 1: sleep over and we do Bergotta, and I try to
Speaker 1: plan it, but it never goes my way, and like
Speaker 1: when I get there, it's usually like some R and
Speaker 1: B person that I never heard of, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go see that. And we never
Speaker 1: go to a show, but I always wanted to see
Speaker 1: stand up there. So I'm gonna keep my eyes open
Speaker 1: for when you go. Yeah, yeah, the day Gid reschedule.
Speaker 1: But I haven't been on stage in almost well since
Speaker 1: like March thirteenth, So tomorrow night I'm gonna try this thing.
Speaker 1: They've done it for like four weeks in a row.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I just want to get out there and
Speaker 1: just tell jokes. Again, it's going to be weird obviously
Speaker 1: in a parking lot with people sitting in their cars.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but it's a brilliant idea. It gets Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going to be weird for you know, if they
Speaker 1: like a joke, they're gonna be so I guess if
Speaker 1: they don't like it, they're not going to beat You're
Speaker 1: not You're gonna be crickets. Oh my god. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: if somebody goes over really well, they're just gonna hawk
Speaker 1: that horn for like five minutes. I know. I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, that's my that's my standing ovation. I guess
Speaker 1: you need a friend to come and just beat all
Speaker 1: the time, like yeah, the one, the one heckler that
Speaker 1: you know, but this will be like a good person
Speaker 1: and just beat the horn all the time. I like
Speaker 1: that it keeps everybody safe. What's that I just said?
Speaker 1: I love the concept because it just keeps everybody safe
Speaker 1: and you get to go do what you love. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and people, you know, people want to get out too,
Speaker 1: And I've heard it's pretty successful. People just sitting in
Speaker 1: their cars, some of them have drinks and stuff like
Speaker 1: that and they just hang out like a drive in
Speaker 1: movie and they some of them have drinks and drive
Speaker 1: home afterwards. It's brilliant. But yeah, so you know, whatever
Speaker 1: I do, I haven't. I'm you know, I'm dying to
Speaker 1: get back up on stage. I'm sure you are, okay,
Speaker 1: So where can people find you online? I just followed
Speaker 1: you like two months ago. I'm on Twitter. You don't
Speaker 1: post very often. Yeah, I just I don't like to
Speaker 1: mix it up with people and fight with people. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? People fight. You can just put
Speaker 1: a nice quote up there everyone, so I know, because
Speaker 1: everything that he's talking about is what they're Everything he's
Speaker 1: making fun of is what they're talking about. So they'll
Speaker 1: just catch eye, you know, they'll they'll catch wind of it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know. I had social media people posting stuff and
Speaker 1: for me and then not saying it the way I say, like, well, Jim,
Speaker 1: I can't believe you said this. I'm like, it's not me.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm sure you have tour dates and stuff.
Speaker 1: So where can they find you to find out where
Speaker 1: you're going to be? Yeah, Jim Florentin dot com on
Speaker 1: my Twitter is mister Jim Florence, and I post clips
Speaker 1: for my podcast. You know, each week. Okay, like one
Speaker 1: minute clips from it, like best of clips or whatever,
Speaker 1: so people go listen to podcasts. I don't like to
Speaker 1: deal with the nonsense with Twitter. Everybody's a baby. Everybody
Speaker 1: takes it the wrong way. There's no tone. It's like
Speaker 1: I send it a text to your significant other. There's
Speaker 1: no tone in the text, so they take it the
Speaker 1: wrong way. It true. I just say I don't feel
Speaker 1: like fight with people that I don't know. Jim, I
Speaker 1: just found out that my ig my d ms are open.
Speaker 1: I never I don't know how to use Instagram because
Speaker 1: I'm old, but I somebody wrote me a friend of mine,
Speaker 1: and so I clicked it and I read what they
Speaker 1: wrote and then I it said you have like a
Speaker 1: hundred messages or whatever, and it's all from fans, and
Speaker 1: so I read them for Patreon and they were really dirty.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's yeah. Now it's going to be a
Speaker 1: monthly thing for my patriot. I'm going to keep them open.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to answer anybody. But we found we
Speaker 1: found a gold mine, and I'm really excited about it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's a good idea. Yeah, just what Slavs
Speaker 1: guys are like. They think like some writing, some dirty
Speaker 1: is going to go, Oh my god, I got a
Speaker 1: hook up with this guys. Yeah, that's what I said.
Speaker 1: I said, Man, this is getting me so moist right now,
Speaker 1: I'm going to run and meet you. Here we go.
Speaker 1: You know, she had edible under Somebody want to eat
Speaker 1: edible underwear off of her. Somebody wanted sexy pictures. It
Speaker 1: was yes, off your coach, it was uh, yes, It's
Speaker 1: a treasure trove of content. But man, I'm I happy.
Speaker 1: I'm just a regular Joe. It was good. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: you don't, yeah, you don't have to deal with it.
Speaker 1: But that's why I don't do too much on social media.
Speaker 1: I just don't, you know, because I'm not playing that
Speaker 1: that base. I'd rather be in a comedy club where
Speaker 1: people are there to c stand up comedy that go
Speaker 1: in knowing that there could be some inappropriate shit said
Speaker 1: and they're okay. You know, I'll say before you go,
Speaker 1: I have to tell you one of the times I
Speaker 1: did see you and I mentioned this to you before.
Speaker 1: There was a bachelorette party that you just completely like,
Speaker 1: did they They were your your typical bachelorette party, trying
Speaker 1: to take over the whole show. And you literally like
Speaker 1: stop the whole thing. And it was unbelievable. That was
Speaker 1: down in the Goooby's, that rowdy asked place there in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: That was that was a good I love that place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you bachel at parties. Look, when you're mixing alcohol and
Speaker 1: big groups going out together, it's usually a disaster. Big
Speaker 1: groups is the keyword. Yeah, Yeah, sometimes I gets uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: You must must have been uncomfortable that night because I
Speaker 1: was great. Yeah, we could see it from the second
Speaker 1: you came on stage. It was going to be a problem.
Speaker 1: And the other what happens is the other comics probably
Speaker 1: told me, listen, there's a baucherette party out there and
Speaker 1: they're being noisy. So I'm already mad going in. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh boy, there's gonna be a battle going out there.
Speaker 1: And as soon as they come ahead, I'm like, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: it's almost like it's almost like being the substitute teacher
Speaker 1: and you're not getting any respect up there and no
Speaker 1: one will listen. So that so you got to calm that.
Speaker 1: You got to calm that class down. That's what you
Speaker 1: have to do. And when there's alcohol mixed, nobody ever
Speaker 1: thinks of doing anything wrong. What it was I doing.
Speaker 1: I was just talking. I'm not allowed to talk. No,
Speaker 1: you're not not in the comedy show. Shut up, sit out,
Speaker 1: shut up. Well, I want you to know that as
Speaker 1: a female, I love what you do. Like you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't offend me at all. I like your humor,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like if you're going to
Speaker 1: take this stuff personally like that, That's why I always
Speaker 1: tell people on my podcast, don't take it personally. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, It's just joke. Yeah, just enjoy it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I don't I get it.
Speaker 1: It's not for everybody. Yeah, well it's for me. We
Speaker 1: we enjoy you on this show. So I'm thrilled that
Speaker 1: you took some time out for us and I can't
Speaker 1: thank you enough for being here. Yeah. So everybody is
Speaker 1: awful of podcasts every Monday and Thursday on Barstool Sports
Speaker 1: to keep sending stuff in. That's great, dude. She will
Speaker 1: trust me. As long as there's mom Facebook groups and
Speaker 1: uh you know, uh crazy Mommy and all these weird
Speaker 1: things that she finds with all she's in them, you'll
Speaker 1: be getting them. So I'm so happy that people Because
Speaker 1: people will send in stuff like the material for my podcast,
Speaker 1: so I don't have to go search it out, because
Speaker 1: if I had to go search it out, out of
Speaker 1: my mind. She said, she wants the real email. She
Speaker 1: wants to go right to you. She doesn't want to
Speaker 1: she wanted one of any kind of filters. Now she
Speaker 1: wants to go right to Oh my, I'm kidding. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: we won't hold you up anymore. Thank you again so much.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we can catch you at We're gotta suit sooner
Speaker 1: than later. But tomorrow. Yeah, thanks, yeah, yeah, come back
Speaker 1: to mcgoobies, man, whenever this stuff. So, I'm dying to
Speaker 1: go back or come to Virginia. I can't go to mcgoobies.
Speaker 1: That's too far for me. We got to get these
Speaker 1: Virginia comedy club owners to get something together because I
Speaker 1: missed you at State Theater with that metal show a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And that's all the time I've
Speaker 1: seen you in Virginia. Maybe one time at the draft House,
Speaker 1: but I couldn't get all the way up there. No,
Speaker 1: I never did the draft House. I usedn't do a
Speaker 1: draft house, Okay. I used to do a rich Man
Speaker 1: and I used to do somewhere else in Virginia, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just you know, it's all politics
Speaker 1: with those clubs. Yes, you know you're not missing anything
Speaker 1: by not being going, by not going to riginal Do Bregotta,
Speaker 1: because I can get rooms at Bargotta for free. I
Speaker 1: think it's the night before Halloween the Creeps with Kids tour. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe we can go there. Yeah, that'd be perfect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great show. Awesome. Well, I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to it. And again I'm a huge fan. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for coming on. This was fun. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, all right. Thanks. You can just click out
Speaker 1: when you're done. Watch that so you can just click
Speaker 1: off of it when you're done. All right. Thanks, so
Speaker 1: good to meet you. Yeah, all right, I'll see you
Speaker 1: guys later. Thanks. Thanks, sim take care. I'd love to
Speaker 1: always say to these marks these days, just like you
Speaker 1: do you know, the shirts coming bigger sizes at different colors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like like you don't need to wear the same size
Speaker 1: that you were worn in the nineties. Oh can you
Speaker 1: guys hear me? Are you wrestling fan? Are you in
Speaker 1: the nineties? I was one of the marketiest marks you'll
Speaker 1: ever have. The desk pleasure of speaking to you in
Speaker 1: the nineties. Okay, yeah, now, oh no, because I do
Speaker 1: a lot of work for the Keeping one hundred podcast Disco,
Speaker 1: and I think I'm going to kill a couple of
Speaker 1: marks one of these days. I despise them. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what it's like, It's like last night, Disney Ann
Speaker 1: it's the shitload of Marvel and Star Wars productions and
Speaker 1: they're all freaking out. No, finally, finally an ubi Wan
Speaker 1: TV show. It's like, that's what you're excited about, not
Speaker 1: the fucking voxinge, not the not a lower tax bill,
Speaker 1: but you're excited Ian McGregor on the paid service. And
Speaker 1: that's what I think has the problem with wrestling today
Speaker 1: is that they but I think that because most of
Speaker 1: the fans are men, and they think that men are
Speaker 1: supposed to like sports, but they don't actually like sport.
Speaker 1: They but they like wrestling. So they've started to react
Speaker 1: to wrestling as if they think it's real, and I
Speaker 1: think it's exactly so that's their sport. Yeah. Like, there's
Speaker 1: people who probably think his name is stone cold Steve Austin,
Speaker 1: Like on his birth certificate it says stone cold. Yeah,
Speaker 1: excuse me the surname Undertaker, like it was right, it
Speaker 1: was the Undertaker was on cameo, not Mark Hallaway was
Speaker 1: on camera Like I'm saying the Undertaker. But that's the problem.
Speaker 1: The marks have completely blurred the line and everything's reported
Speaker 1: now as it's real. So something happens on Monday at
Speaker 1: Raw Raymisterio gets hit by a car on Monday at
Speaker 1: Raw they have a medical update on Tuesday, you know
Speaker 1: on the dirt sheets. Now the Dirt Sheets are chasing
Speaker 1: Francine around backstage to find out, you know, what's going on.
Speaker 1: They're trying to find out, you know what Braun Strowman
Speaker 1: got suspended for hitting you know one of the officials
Speaker 1: for what I don't care is is people can watch
Speaker 1: stuff like Game of Thrones and Sopranos and be so
Speaker 1: aware that it's thick and scripted and all just done
Speaker 1: for entertainment, but then they forget that wrestling. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: how can you be wearing a Star Wars shirt, like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is reality based. I think you're the sweetest man
Speaker 1: I've ever met in my life. Oh but not until
Speaker 1: some of my past tweets Every Surface when I was
Speaker 1: reviewing certain rap albums. But the but the thing is,
Speaker 1: I think it's sad to say it, but it's slowly
Speaker 1: dying off. M hm, a resurgence with like the newer
Speaker 1: companies and stuff because same fans. Yeah, it's like I
Speaker 1: know of heading up very well and I'm about to
Speaker 1: blow your mind. I'm a big sci fi fun I
Speaker 1: know what you're thinking. You're like, fucking hell, you were
Speaker 1: just making fun of the marks. You have an orgasm
Speaker 1: ever Star Wars and stuff, and now you're telling me
Speaker 1: he's a big fan for it. He's just a fan,
Speaker 1: but he enjoys it. He could he could stop. He's
Speaker 1: not putting on his unless I don't know this, put
Speaker 1: on his Captain America helmet. You know, when he's getting
Speaker 1: ready to watch a movie, like he just likes the movie.
Speaker 1: He does. We're around. I'm going to assume. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: going to assume. But there was a thing where I
Speaker 1: went to the midnight premiere of Star Wars The Force Awakens,
Speaker 1: which was the first one in ten years, and there's
Speaker 1: this big, long, long queue to get in, and there's
Speaker 1: a grown man behind us. Me and my friend were talking,
Speaker 1: you know, being really cool all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: About all the fights we've won, all that sort of stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, like then the one million fighters against this
Speaker 1: test seven figure or whatever. This grown man behind us
Speaker 1: started balling, crying like literally like like that, and and
Speaker 1: I was just like, what the fuck happened? And at
Speaker 1: one point he left to get something out of his car,
Speaker 1: and I said to his friend, I said, I know
Speaker 1: I'm sticking to nosing, but is he okay? Is everything
Speaker 1: all right? And he goes, oh, yeah, he just really
Speaker 1: can't wait to see the film. And it's like, that's
Speaker 1: that's not okay. Know, he's overwhelmed. It's like, you're not
Speaker 1: allowed to cry over Star Wars. So I'm more surprised
Speaker 1: at you being concerned for somebody else's feelings than for
Speaker 1: that man crying. Oh no, I just didn't want Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to crying beside me. Wanted them
Speaker 1: to cry with her so that I could fill me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I see, well, what so you you say you interviewed
Speaker 1: a lot of people beside Sean that you've had You're
Speaker 1: just wait this phone call. Oh, the worst would be
Speaker 1: I would have to say, well, well from the wrestling
Speaker 1: world would have to be said, he said, any world.
Speaker 1: She said, any any world, I would have to say possibly,
Speaker 1: uh hmmm. Hitler was a bad one. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he had to hit a bad side
Speaker 1: to him as well. Okay, no, I interviewed, well the
Speaker 1: the Fire. I can't think of anything bad straight up.
Speaker 1: Well have you ever heard of of the show whose
Speaker 1: line is it? Anyway? Of course? Which also is what
Speaker 1: uh my documentary about cocaine autis And I interviewed a
Speaker 1: guy from that called Colin Mockery, and he just seemed
Speaker 1: so infuriated at the idea that someone would ask him
Speaker 1: a question. Yeah, And I was like, why you fucking hear? Then? Wow,
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be the like, the likable one. He's
Speaker 1: supposed to be like the you know, like the he's
Speaker 1: the bald guy, right, Yeah, yeah, he's supposed to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's the goofy guy, you know, but he would be
Speaker 1: a dick, which is kind of surprising character. But you
Speaker 1: were gonna say, what do we say about sid because
Speaker 1: I've already said too and it ain't necessarily uh you know,
Speaker 1: something that I would put on the top of my list, ether, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a said on and he's the largest person
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, and he looks insane, and he was
Speaker 1: from my era of a wrestling fan, so you're still
Speaker 1: kind of a mark where you're like, it's fucking said,
Speaker 1: oh my god. But then you forget his career was
Speaker 1: relatively short, so there's gonna be so much you could
Speaker 1: ask him about the fact. I'll tell you who the
Speaker 1: worst interview was that just remembered someone you know, Raven
Speaker 1: because he doesn't want to talk, Like, no disrespect to him,
Speaker 1: but why would I want to talk to him? Not
Speaker 1: about his wrestling career, and he didn't want to talk
Speaker 1: about that, But then anything else you ask him, he goes,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. It's like, why do you
Speaker 1: not know what you think about? Fucking sut And i'd lied,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh well, okay, well you're not the
Speaker 1: first one to say that either, so I tend to
Speaker 1: believe you. When I interviewed Raven, I actually chopped out
Speaker 1: the parts where he didn't answer the questions, and I
Speaker 1: reversed the order of how the show aired, so the
Speaker 1: stuff I asked at the end went before the stuff
Speaker 1: I asked first, because he was so all over the
Speaker 1: place with not answering and giving you non answers that
Speaker 1: I had to flip that shit. And it was a
Speaker 1: four minute interview. Now we stretched it because the conversation
Speaker 1: was like forty minutes, but I think we use like twelve. Okay. See,
Speaker 1: the thing about Riven is he's clearly got attention. Dash
Speaker 1: it the shorter and he will get distracted. He'd be
Speaker 1: the teless stories like so one day I'm with The
Speaker 1: Rock and we're going to buy a limo and next
Speaker 1: thing you know, the Rolling Stones walk into the room.
Speaker 1: President Clinton's there and I said, wow, look at that car.
Speaker 1: It tell a story. He goes by, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, and then stuff have got yah YadA. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're you're enough of a professional that you
Speaker 1: could dance around these people. So I definitely want to
Speaker 1: check out your podcast because you're entertaining me. So I
Speaker 1: can't imagine what a full hour of you would be,
Speaker 1: Like nobody would know about that. But but just to
Speaker 1: answer your question you said about wrestling never coming back
Speaker 1: with The Rock having this retirement match, I think that's
Speaker 1: going to be the final big thing in wrestling. Then
Speaker 1: it's never gonna become big again. Okay, is this a thing.
Speaker 1: I'm in the dark. Is he having an official match?
Speaker 1: The Rock is coming back to have an official final
Speaker 1: match with Room and Rings, and it was supposed to
Speaker 1: be at Wrestle Minia, but of course you may not.
Speaker 1: But from what I've been told from my connections bro,
Speaker 1: is that if once they can have funs back, the
Speaker 1: Rock is going to headline WrestleMania for the official final
Speaker 1: time ever. So that'll be great because that'll be like
Speaker 1: a multi media fucking explosion and everybody from that area
Speaker 1: is back on top doing interviews and stuff. But after that,
Speaker 1: I got this, can't see it, And plus there's there's
Speaker 1: too much of it. It's like if I say to
Speaker 1: you doing to grab a slice of pizza? You go, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: Or I go, don't to go grab fifteen piaches? You
Speaker 1: go no, LA's too much? No wait, that sounds good
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, I've had, I've did in the morning. Really, Francine,
Speaker 1: you slamed pizzas last week. You were talking about it
Speaker 1: for three days. You could have won. I ate three
Speaker 1: pieces in one day and I felt like I was
Speaker 1: gonna die. The thing you said is interesting because you know, uh,
Speaker 1: we do an event called wrestle Con that's every year
Speaker 1: and it's based around WrestleMania weekend, and of course you
Speaker 1: know this year it was canceled because of Corona, and
Speaker 1: you know they want to do next year in Tampa.
Speaker 1: But it's up in the air as well because it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's in the kind of the first quarter
Speaker 1: begetting in a second quarter of the year, and people
Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to happen or not, and
Speaker 1: they're not going to do the Rock and rooman if
Speaker 1: it's going to be another empty arena because they want
Speaker 1: that draw and they want the people to buy tickets.
Speaker 1: So like if they announced it this early and then
Speaker 1: they can't do it, I think if Russelly's going to
Speaker 1: keep going on the decline, do you really think that
Speaker 1: that match, like two years later is going to draw
Speaker 1: people back in. It might be like a one night thing.
Speaker 1: I think it will because it's inevitable that it's going
Speaker 1: to happen because the Rocks daughter is training to be
Speaker 1: a wrestler, so there's excuse me, so there's no way
Speaker 1: he's not going to come back to help her win
Speaker 1: the match or marker to the ring once or something
Speaker 1: like that. So he's never gone and plus them. From
Speaker 1: what I've heard, there's already been a behind the scenes
