I am 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:18.720 Megan Gally, joined this week by my husband and co 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.880 host c J Toladano. What's happening? Why? Why are you 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:25.080 this week just trying to throw some flavor? It just 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:29.160 sounds like an intro just trying to throw a little, um, 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:34.080 a little change on their happy week of Thanksgiving. UM. 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.680 I hope you are planning to stay safe and healthy. 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:42.040 Same side. I am going to be making corn souffle, 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.879 corn cast role, whatever you want to call it. And 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.320 c J is going to be making mac and cheese 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:53.519 and stuffing. Wow, those are two big important items. Now, 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.280 some people don't think you're supposed to have mac and 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:59.840 cheese at It's ridiculous, absolutely certain stupid. We never had 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:01.800 it growing up, and I always wanted to. I remember 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.160 when you're asking if we could have spaghetti and meatballs, 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:09.440 UM for Thanksgiving? If you enjoy it's like Thanksgiving is 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.959 a time to eat all your favorite foods, and spaghetti 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:16.600 meatballs is in my top ten. And I've been to 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:21.160 a m one of your family large family gatherings for 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:25.880 Thanksgiving and there was Filipino food. There's Filipino food, there's 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.960 pizza Frankis. Oh it was so good. I was thrilled. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.880 All right, well that is that's the most Thanksgiving theme. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.120 Um portion of the show. I want to bring on 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.400 our guest, who is a dear, dear friend of ours, 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:43.280 very very funny comedian, comedy writer, actor. He's got it 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:48.440 all half of but But but Sketch comic favorite Sketch Crew, 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.960 Ladies and gentlemen, Joe McAdam. Guys, thank you so much, 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.280 thanks for having me. And um, I'm psyched about Thanksgiving. 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.720 Let's let's do this. What are you making Thanksgiving? What 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.760 are you making making? I'm making mac and cheese. Yeah, 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.200 mac and cheese. If you don't think it should be 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.440 at Thanksgiving, that's weird, Like just allow it, just allow it. Yeah, 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.639 I never knew it was controversial until recently. I see 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.919 people tweeting like, oh, yeah, it's not a real it's 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:16.840 not a real like holiday food. It's like, it's the 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:21.560 most comfort food to me is Thanksgiving Christmas tip. Well, 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.880 and if you can have like cheesy potatoes, why can't 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.119 you have cheesy pasta? That's all I'm trying to say. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.920 You should everything should be like a cheesy you know, 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.200 carb starch whatever. That sounds great, that sounds fantastic. You 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.520 should be that got turkey. Turkey in a turkey. I'm 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.600 gonna make some gravy with some about a thing at turkey. Next, 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.360 you know what turkey. Next, go for the grocery store. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:50.560 Take a guess, leg I'm okay, I'm gonna say a 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:56.639 buck a neck. I've next three five for three dollars 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.880 only in America. What you want about this drink? You 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.919 can buy five turkey necks for three dollars. If you're 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.960 a turkey listening to this, that has to really piss 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:11.000 you off. Listen up, Turkey, because if someone was selling 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.840 five Megan necks for three dollars, I go, this is bullshit. 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.919 It would deserve more. And if you flip the numbers, 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.920 if it was three necks for five bucks, you wouldn't 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.040 even blink. But it's that's like a way worse deal. 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.480 It sounds like a Yo Mama joke, like Yo Mama's next, 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:34.720 so stupid it goes for three for five bucks. You 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.880 should do Yo Mama Thanksgiving jokes for turkeys. All right, 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.000 I'll start a Google doc and we'll start dropping in, 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.480 um your mama jokes for turkey. Next. I love this project. 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.760 I can't wait to see it to completion for sure. Wait, 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.520 well real quick, because I don't think I've ever had 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.040 just solely turkey. Next, what what is involved in cooking it? 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.040 I'm just gonna I'm just gonna cook like a like 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.680 a sear some turkey next in a you know, a 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.280 pretty big pan, and then just like add whatever the 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.640 some drippings and some flour and I don't know what 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.920 stuff to make it a make it a gravy. And 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.680 then and then you take the turkey necks out at 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.680 some point, Yeah, straight out the turkey. Next, get rid 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.520 of it. You don't want to turkey neck in there, 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.880 but that's where that's where the turkey keeps all its 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.839 flavor is in the neck. So that's what you want. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.800 You want to get those next in there. Now. C 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.880 J says that he's been looking for a mac and 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:29.600 cheese recipe. Maybe if you could share. No, I'm not 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:34.880 happy to share the whole thing. Maybe you leave out 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.359 one or two ingredients so the secret is safe. But 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.679 I'd like to lobby for CJ to get the recipe 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.159 so I can eat that mac and cheese. And I've 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.760 been tweaking, Like the last I think the last time 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.599 you guys ate my mac and cheese was did I 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.680 bring it to the super Bowl party? I forget I 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.680 brought something over to your place. I brought mac and 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.520 cheese your place a while ago. Yeah, I think it. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.960 I've been improving the recipe. I'm working on it. I've 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.120 got over. I've got a much better mac and cheese 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.440 recipe today than I did one year ago. Okay, And 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.039 that's the secret, Like we're not seeing what's what do 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.800 you think is like an important aspect of a mac 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.200 and cheese dish? To you, Velvita, it's like it's hands down, 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:18.160 it's Velbata put it in. And if someone's a snob 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.040 about it, tell him to take a hike. It's because 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.159 the thing is they're already been snobs about not wanting 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.479 mac and cheese. So ce J and I we've cut 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.560 any mac and cheese snobs out of our lives. I 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.680 gotta lose them. You gotta go with the good stuff. 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.080 It's yeah, you go with and there's there's more to it, 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.240 but I'll send over a recipe. Now we had are 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.160 now famous super Bowl party. And I say famous because 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.640 it's the last time I felt safe being around people. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.600 Um and maybe for the rest of my life. We 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:50.560 had our famous super Bowl party almost entirely for Joe McAdam. 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.240 I can't express how much I appreciate that. It's the 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.480 sweetest thing. It was the best day of my life, 0:05:55.560 --> 0:06:00.200 maybe better than my marriage. Its beautiful. It's it's mine 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.840 to say it. It's fine to say no, it's not. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.440 It is okay, it is okay. My dad I think ranks. 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.560 Oh I forgot they listen, But I feel like my 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:13.080 dad ranks the Colts winning the Super Bowl behind the 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.640 birth of his children, but ahead of his wedding day 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.800 and they're still married. Yeah, so Dad, you can correct 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.520 me if that's wrong. We had a saved seat for you. 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.120 Let me give a little backstory, like why was it 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:28.080 as important and also get into your allegiances a little 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.479 bit with your teams and sports. I'm originally from Kansas City. 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.120 Obviously I met you guys in Chicago, but I've I've 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.440 never like latched onto Chicago sports teams. I've always been 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.279 Chiefs Royals, and I'm definitely a bigger football fan than 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.880 anything else. Um, and so as a Chiefs fan, I mean, 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.359 they that was the first Super Bowl they've won in 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:53.919 fifty years, and they are notoriously the most heartbreaking team. 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.040 The Colts have destroyed our our hopes so many times. 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.840 I've had a lot of fun watching the Colts. It's 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.599 and it's been it's been very rough. And so now 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:08.159 where it's like this is the first time ever in 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.160 my whole like sports life where it's like it's not 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.600 even a fluke. It's like, Okay, this this is a 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.880 very game team and they are expected to win. And 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.920 that's like my brain doesn't even know how to process. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.920 I've like like internalized this identity of being like an underdog, 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.160 you know, for sports, and for that leads into everything else. 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.960 Like that's just it's like because we it was a 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.600 topic of ours I think a couple of weeks ago, 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.080 small market teams and like the Chiefs, I don't. I 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.840 think the Chiefs might be the most dominant team in sports, 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.080 and like I also am like calculating they're probably the 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.800 favorites for the next few years. And that's like that's 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.560 that's strange for Kansas City to hold that like for 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.040 it's weird, not really known like, Yeah, Pat Mahomes is 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.600 going to be there for his entire career. It looks 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.200 like and it's crazy. The Kansas City Chiefs or Kansas 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.640 City might be the number one NFL team for the 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.480 next for the next five years. Yeah, I think it's 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.520 it's Uh, I love it. I can't. I can't express 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.160 it enough. That's so cool. I can't. I'm like, I'm 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.400 like doing back backflips about it. I'm a little hungover 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.480 today because the chief has played the Raiders last night. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:22.480 We've got our houses, uh struggling today. Cults beat the 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:29.200 Packers in overtime. And there was definitely some reserve alcohol 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.640 that I had for the election that we didn't get 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.680 to that when who boy, when you squeak out a 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.320 game against the NFC North, you got to get that 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.200 election and alcohol popping. And I don't know that we're 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:48.360 going with. Last night, Um, we took c J and I, 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.320 just the two of us in our home, took shots 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.320 of fireball and she has like she had like a 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:59.760 twelve pack of little like airplane fireballs. Um, and that's 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:01.720 the that that was like the third. We also have 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:07.280 these can Margarita's and palomas that she kept going no, 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.320 not cut water, which was like an early favorite, but 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.240 it's these new ones. I don't even know what they're calling. Um. 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.960 And then c J and I I also hadn't eaten 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.920 because I had eaten so much the night before, so 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.720 I was drinking on an empty stomach. So excited we 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.400 got drunk enough to do karaoke alone in our home 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.800 with these microphones not plugged. Yeah, CJ took him out 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.960 of the podcast and handed it to me and we said, okay, 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:37.200 ed sheeron, We're ready. That rules. I'm so glad I've 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.559 been there. I think at least once during during quarantine, 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.280 just me and my wife just just singing, you know, 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.680 beas or something, just as loud as possible. What a 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:51.000 beautiful moment. Felt amazed. I like, just before we started this, 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:52.880 I was like, I want to do that again. We 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.520 don't even we don't even need the cults to almost 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.080 lose a game that they should have won. You know, 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.760 we could just have fun and regardless it helps, though, 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.880 football really helps. Yeah, but then bring it down. It's 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.080 a it's a roller coast one. Then marcusol the Lakers 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.880 had signed marcossol Um, and yeah, it was just it 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.120 was a good moment for the Tolo Donnod Gailey household 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.480 in terms of sports that we then got Rack Sheep. 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:25.400 Megan ordered Raman and then I ordered Papa John's. Hell yeah, 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:30.280 I love the ordering of two restaurants for the same meal. Yeah, 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.480 it's it's it's a move that I didn't think like, 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.240 I don't know if I had like some kind of 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.480 mental block about it, but I've I've unlocked that during 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.160 the last few months, and it's great. Get crazy bread 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:46.600 from Little Caesar's with you know the you know, McDonald's 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.400 cheeseburgers and whatever. It's it rules. I love it. Yeah. 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.240 We got Danny Palumbo pasta one Sunday, which is louzy 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.840 that don't know. Danny Palumbo is a very talented comedian 0:10:55.920 --> 0:11:00.240 slash chef and makes like gourmet food and I opped 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.280 on the way home to get Crazy Brett to go 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.400 with it. Yeah that's amazing. Yeah, I haven't had Danny, 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.200 but I've I've heard amazing things. I gotta I got 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.200 to hit Daniepe for an order. I had spicy tuna 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.640 on Crispy Rice last night and then I popped over 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.960 and said, heck, y'all have a piece of Papa John. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.080 So I don't care. Yeah, that's the way to do it. 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.400 It feels like we weren't allowed to do it as kids, 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.760 because there's no way we were, and so it just 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.720 it's there's like a level of we've been left with 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:30.680 a credit card that we don't have to pay for, 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.640 even though we do. And how much of living with 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.920 c J is like is like living in the movie 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.960 blank Check? It's it's it's blank Check. It's also don't 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:45.240 tell them on the Babysitters Dead. It's so many it's 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.160 it's all of those I just got a home alone, 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:54.440 Blanket Deliver. Yeah, it's um. It's sometimes I feel like 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.880 I am Sally Field and Mrs Doubtfire. And this is 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.640 at the beginning, you know, this is the prequel where 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.679 I'm just like, he's so funny, this is amazing. I 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.760 love him. He makes me laugh. And then the sequel 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:08.760 is obviously you know, there's a donkey in the living 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.520 room and she wants to divorce. They're playing yeah jump 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:18.680 around and on a birthday cake, right, So yeah, I 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.600 worry if Mrs doubt Fire is my future, Well that's 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.920 you know, there's worse stuff that could happen. Then you 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.719 start to live the film this is doubt. C J 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.240 and I get separated. I pierced brosen in and then 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.160 I go, you know what, c J. I did, Like 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.559 you impersonating an old Filipino woman in our house. I'm 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:39.040 coming back. The thing is pretty nice. Yeah, and I 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.440 guess this makes me a cook. But like whenever Megan 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.120 brings up like fucking like Pierce Brosnan or like a 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.199 weird old NFL lineman, I was like, I'd congratulate you 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.520 that that's same high five. Yeah, getting busy with like 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.480 yeah and an old retired offensive lineman. Yeah. Can you 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.720 do our podcast afterwards? Can you get Willie rof on 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:04.560 this show? Fully? Count? Um? All right, so incredible. Let's 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.959 get into our topic a little bit. We we came 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.800 up with this topic together, which I always look forward 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.440 to it when we want, you know, our guests, we 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.440 want like the topic to sort of reflect how they 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:19.640 viewed sports, and we came up with greatest Quitters. Now, Joe, 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.040 explain a little bit and without revealing st your choices, 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.320 what is appealing to you for this particular topic. I 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.720 think sports our first and foremost for me. How I 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.840 engage with them. Is that it's entertainment. For me, I'm 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.480 not much of an athlete and I don't know anything 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:41.520 about playing sports. Uh so, like the entertainment value of 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.760 something is is superior for me than anything else that 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.280 I'm looking at. And if someone like everybody has to 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.520 quit and it's not even I'm not even living this 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.160 to retirement or anything, it's just what's a funny thing 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.680 you can do that is just like quitting, Like I'm done, 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.760 I can't. I just don't. It's about like what it 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:03.480 means for someone's brain to just be like Nope, nope, 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.440 not doing it. I'm not, I don't, I don't want to, 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.920 I don't want this and I love that, and I yeah, 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.760 that's that's what I'm looking for. It's quitting is also 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:18.600 like so villainized in sports, like it's the worst thing 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.880 you can do. They would rather you fight the umpire, 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.360 you know, they would rather you bash a baseball bat 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:30.240 through a third baseline coach card then to quit. And 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:36.640 so when it happens, it sometimes happens in really hilarious ways. Yeah. No, 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.440 it's it's always going to be entertaining when like frustration 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.960 boils over whatever the thing is or apathy, it could 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:46.080 be any number of reasons, but yeah, I'm into it. Yeah, 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.840 because it's like our dream. Like if anyone was asked us, 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.360 would you want to play professional sport, be like yeah 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.640 in a second. But then this is just like these 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.840 giant muscle dudes or women and just like who are 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.400 so good? They're saying like, yeah, I don't want to 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.760 do this anymore. It's it's very funny to me. I 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.760 thought you were going to say our dream is to 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.480 quit stand up and I was like, for sure, for sure, 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.240 ye wouldn't that? Yeah? That that's every every stand up 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.280 comic stream is to quit doing stand up comedy, and 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.280 you can't blame them, and they're right all right, As 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.200 someone who's done it fifteen times, pretty great, I feel 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.880 like that. I feel like the process is like when 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.880 you're starting out, you're like, I just want to be 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.720 able to make a living doing comedy, and then you 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.280 make a living doing comedy and you're like, oh boy, 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.440 I just want to be able to make a living 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.360 at something else besides comedy, so I can stop doing comedy. 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.720 I'm looking into other like oh I could I could cook, 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:43.720 I could barbecue. I just bought a big barrel smoker. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.720 I'm we'll do that. I don't need comedy. I can 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.760 do other stuff. I'll make brisket. Yeah, your food is that. 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.960 No one is like there's too many brisket guys in 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.480 the game. You know, maybe they are, maybe maybe that's 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.880 a Reddit board. But in comedy you hear someone like 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.400 starting comedy and you're like, get the funk out of here. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.280 Oh yeah. If any of you guys ever had somebody 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.120 ask you like, hey, I'm thinking about starting comedy the time, 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.600 yeah I would. Yeah, it's just like I just don't 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.320 do it, don't worry about it, don't worry about other 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:19.240 stuff out. Um. All right, well so let's get into it. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.360 So Joe, how it works is? Um, is it ascending 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.280 or a descending We've still someone tell us. Okay, so 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.680 we start with the number three, number three, and then 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:33.880 you go to one, So that's descending if you're going 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:38.080 three to the bottom. Mine mine don't even have like 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.440 a great order, but they're it's fine, totally fine. Well 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.040 give us, give us the first one you want to 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.760 hit us with. Yeah, okay, just to to set the table, 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.760 this is I think I found out about this just 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.720 because I was in the YouTube kind of wormhole watching 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:59.960 John Kruc on David Letterman, and I can't recommend it enough. 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.280 Watch every single piece of entertainment from John Kruk on Letterman. 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:08.480 But he he, uh, he quit. I think it was 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.800 in the first inning of a game. He was playing 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.840 for the White Sox at the time. It was his 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.680 you know, mid season. I want to say, I don't 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:22.080 know when it was, and he it was the first inning. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.920 He hits a single, gets to first base, and then 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:30.399 it's like I'm out and then he leaves. He left 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.480 the game because he was the reason he did it. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:37.080 What he said is is that he wanted to leave 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:42.520 and retire with a perfect average, and it was that 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.119 was the hit that it took to get him, like 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.879 exactly on the line of batting three D and then 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.480 he's like, I come out, So yeah, what were what 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.600 was the aftermath of that? Who runs? Like? Does someone 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.200 I think they just got a pinch runner and they're 0:17:56.240 --> 0:18:00.680 just like all right, and I I don't even know 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.760 what happened to any Did he have any reason? He's 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.240 a very lazy dude, like he's just super like But 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.719 now he's on TV all the time where it's like, yeah, 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.960 it is interesting that. Then he's like, all right, I 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.240 got another job. Like maybe he just didn't make enough. 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:21.360 I don't know that baseball salaries and the eighties were 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.440 cranking the way they are now, so it's not quite 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:29.040 the same. But he's he's you know, comfortable. Yeah. I 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.520 can't imagine he's like high maintenance either. I'm sure he 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.520 loves like a pretty humble life. No. Yeah, if he's 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:38.520 the type of dude where you could you could see 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.359 if they had like an MTV Cribs episode for John Kruk, 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.560 they brought you to like a double wide, you wouldn't 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.480 be ted right, like a laid back dude. He doesn't 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:50.520 give a ship. It would be like the nicest house 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.640 of my five uncles could be John KRU's house. So 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:56.800 he yeah, no, that's again. Watch watch all of his 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:01.359 interviews with Letterman, because he talks just about like, oh, 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.040 you know, times when games were there, like sometimes if 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:05.560 you just are stuck on first base and you have 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:07.119 to keep running, if it's the end of the ininning. 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.200 You know, it's like you just have to keep running 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.119 if if there's contact, and he's just like, I don't 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.320 want to I don't want to do this. I hate it. 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.440 I can't. I can't bear to play baseball anymore. I'm 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.680 far too lay for this. And there was there wasn't 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.000 really like Twitter, you know, I mean, there was nothing, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.760 so it would be on the local news and then 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:31.240 Sports Center, which wasn't even massive at that time. And 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.119 I know, again, because there was a social media, I 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:35.960 feel like the league back then could have a little 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:37.800 bit of control of the narrative that they didn't, like 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.200 make it a big story so that it didn't set 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.960 a bad example that you can just quit after getting 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.879 on base. And also too, it's like John Kruk and 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:49.080 I just knew him. I knew him from The Best 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:53.080 Damn Sports Show, which again was like the show that 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.280 just was a bunch of retired athletes didn't give a 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.560 shit anymore, and which I then think, you know, Danny McBride, 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:03.000 like can Kenny Powers is like based off of John Kruk, 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.879 and maybe like Pete Rose, it's like a lot of 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:10.400 John Rocker John Kruk, Yeah, yeah, and it's that Yeah, 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:12.520 that's a perfect dead on, like, yeah, he's just like 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.160 a dude, who is I don't know. I love fat 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:18.159 baseball players. It's like, I love it. I love a 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.400 big dude playing baseball, and I'm always going to root 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.560 for those guys every single time. I kind of like 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:28.479 any fat athlete man, woman's sport. When I see someone 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:33.400 out there just that I know didn't hold back on Thanksgiving, 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:37.119 I'm like, that's I like that you are. Yeah, you 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:40.679 know how hard it was to watch, like the Royals 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:44.280 World Series against the Mets going up against Bartolo Colonne 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.800 and I love him. I'm rooting for COLUMBU dude. I 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:50.720 love the Royals, but I'm rooting for Bartlo Colonna. And 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.240 it's like with him, he was in shape when he 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.280 got drafted and then it just slowly how fat he 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.360 got is funny because it's like, what are you skipping practice? 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.480 Like I remember, and he only got better. Yeah, he 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.840 only got better. You know, there's somebody he showed. It 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.639 was the year he retired, maybe two years ago. I 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.119 forget when he retired, but it was it was like 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:14.080 the his his rookie card from and then what he 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.359 looked like today. It was like, holy ship, that is 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:21.199 a different dude, totally different guy. Like Shack was that 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.920 way too, was like, how did you get fatter while 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:28.159 playing basketball every day. Yeah, I love it. Can I 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:32.280 go next? Because my number three pick is a fat athlete? Okay, 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:37.639 so my number three is John Dailey quitting the Australian 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.879 Open after hitting six balls in a row in the water. 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:46.400 He like he um, And this was this was like 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:50.440 the third time he quit the Australian Open. Like one 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:52.840 one of the times he left the Australian Open he 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:57.120 broke a reporter's camera. That was like that infamous time 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:00.440 the time before he played in it. He just after 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:02.760 the second round, I think he did qualify and he 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:06.720 was like, nam good. Um. So he hit the wrong 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:11.320 ball out of the bunker, which is listen, I played 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.720 high school golf and that didn't really even happen that month. 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:17.760 Like you mark the ball, you really know which ball 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.600 is yours, especially if you're a professional golfer. So that's 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:24.080 what got him into this pickle. And then he hit 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:26.239 so many balls in the water that he said he 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:29.600
