Speaker 6: really sponsor is going into.
Speaker 2: US Ootober as well.
Speaker 6: How fired the fuck up are.
Speaker 2: You dude that. To be honest, here, literally last night
Speaker 2: I got home and I saw my kids and they're like, Dad,
Speaker 2: two more sleeps. That's what they said, the first thing
Speaker 2: they said to me. They got Dad, two more sleeps
Speaker 2: and then hugs. So my kids are fully invested in Spootober.
Speaker 2: We're literally gonna go to Michael's today. As soon as
Speaker 2: I'm able to leave this shop, I'm gonna go pick
Speaker 2: my daughter up at school and We're going straight to Michael's.
Speaker 2: I told her two hundred dollars, Yeah, two hundred dollars
Speaker 2: spending on whatever you want to decorate your room. I'm
Speaker 2: to decorate, and so we are going to get after it. Now.
Speaker 6: That's when I started building the foundation for real.
Speaker 2: You're at the perfect time to a store.
Speaker 6: Like here's how we started embracing the spooks.
Speaker 2: It's very, very slow, but sure the pumpkin. You get
Speaker 2: her excited about the pumpkin. That's the first step, and
Speaker 2: then you just slowly in a greate more and more
Speaker 2: spooked over stuff. Now when being seven, she's like that,
Speaker 2: I want scary stuff in my room, and I'm like, honey, no,
Speaker 2: so you think you do, you think you do, But
Speaker 2: it changes everything.
Speaker 6: When you just lay there up late at night and
Speaker 6: start thinking, you start playing these games in your head.
Speaker 6: Could this thing come alive? Could something pop out of
Speaker 6: the closet. Yeah, it's a whole different ballgame.
Speaker 2: Or not that detailed, or not that detailed for a
Speaker 2: specific reason, because the kid's imagination is incredible. But you
Speaker 2: ever fired up. If you are joining us for the
Speaker 2: first time, go ahead, sit back, relax. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 2: you all the rules of Spootober. If you're here consist instantley,
Speaker 2: you already know the rules, but go ahead and get
Speaker 2: a pen and a pen and a note pad out
Speaker 2: because we're gonna tell you everything. Listen.
Speaker 6: Four key rules to Spooktober.
Speaker 2: The first rule is it's no longer October. It's Spootober
Speaker 2: from here on out. If you're going to talk about
Speaker 2: this month, add a spook to the tober, call it Spooktober.
Speaker 2: That is what you're doing. The next step and you
Speaker 2: achieving Spootober Nirvana is going to be put something spooky
Speaker 2: on every single day. Now, that sounds like a very
Speaker 2: tall task because there's thirty one days of fright. It
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be festive, festive, festive, Festive have to
Speaker 2: be a horror film. If you are my age, if
Speaker 2: you're thirty three or Will's age thirty five, you're you
Speaker 2: remember watching Disney Channel and Nickelodeon and every single day
Speaker 2: there are the TV shows that were on. There was
Speaker 2: always themed Halloween stuff going on. You pop that on
Speaker 2: for ten minutes. Maybe guess what you did it? You've
Speaker 2: You've been gusting with Spootober for that day. It's just
Speaker 2: a daily check. It's like making your bed, getting in
Speaker 2: a workout and making sure you do a couple of
Speaker 2: things every single day. Pops up it on for twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: Now while take the time put on that spooky movie.
Speaker 2: Get yourself a little scared when you turn the lights
Speaker 2: off at night, because that's good for the soul. You
Speaker 2: need that. That is great for the soul. The next
Speaker 2: thing you're going to do and the journey to Spootober
Speaker 2: Nirvana is going to be enjoy something fall festive every
Speaker 2: single week. And it could be a pumpkin patch. It
Speaker 2: could be as simple as you go into your local
Speaker 2: coffee shop and get yourself a seasonal beverage. It doesn't
Speaker 2: have to be the be all end all every single day.
Speaker 2: That's exhausting. We don't want that. Spooktober doesn't need to
Speaker 2: be something where it's like I can't believe I have
Speaker 2: to do this because we've been there before. We've been there.
Speaker 2: You get over to you get to Spootober eighteen and above,
Speaker 2: you're like, bro, I'm kind of like ready, you know
Speaker 2: the whole thing. So just integrate it where you need to,
Speaker 2: but make sure you get in the seven days. You
Speaker 2: get a little something in there. For me personally, my
Speaker 2: wife and I if this Thursday or Friday, we can
Speaker 2: get a little banged up and we're gonna go to
Speaker 2: a hunted house, and that's just to me. That is
Speaker 2: like the the the core dude, just being a little
Speaker 2: straight and talking yourself into being scared.
Speaker 6: And the final rule will Compton decorate. You have to
Speaker 6: decorate your house. Whether it's on the lawn with the
Speaker 6: house inside the house, doesn't matter, whether you just have
Speaker 6: a few pumpkins out front, one pumpkin out front. You
Speaker 6: gotta do something to bring out the theme of the year,
Speaker 6: and that is Spooktober. Those are your four rules. That
Speaker 6: is how you execute with the boys. We need to
Speaker 6: be talking about it on socials. We got to keep
Speaker 6: each other accountable, keep each other in check, and let's
Speaker 6: have a phenomenal spooky season this year. And it's a
Speaker 6: big year for Spooktobe right, and people already selling the
Speaker 6: commons and merch too. That's not a rule, but our
Speaker 6: merch this I don't know if this was last year,
Speaker 6: the year before. We usually have some fun merch every
Speaker 6: year for Spootober. Those will be up on the site.
Speaker 6: We had new merch drop today as you're listening. So
Speaker 6: if you go to a store doop barstool sports dot com,
Speaker 6: click on the brand Busting with the Boys, it should
Speaker 6: be right right out there at the top, somewhere on
Speaker 6: the first page. But our new Spooktober merch is out.
Speaker 6: Embrace the fucking spook with the Boys because it's again
Speaker 6: it's a massive month. It's our favorite month. And this
Speaker 6: is how you fully buy into Busting with.
Speaker 2: The Boys, fully buy it. And Geez did an incredible job.
Speaker 2: He sent me a couple of uh merch items that
Speaker 2: we're putting out there, and it is. It's awesome. The
Speaker 2: thing I'm wearing right now, this Spootober Dad sweater, the
Speaker 2: one that G's also wearing. It's my favorite, My all simple,
Speaker 2: favorite simple, and this. I will literally run this sweater
Speaker 2: into the fucking ground for the next thirty one days.
Speaker 6: I personally I love this. I love the orange and
Speaker 6: I also loved the purple one that we've had in
Speaker 6: the years past. I love kind of colors that bring
Speaker 6: out the fall.
Speaker 2: Don't forget about the sleep of the newspaper one of
Speaker 2: you with the Michael Myers moro. We got to round that, Yes,
Speaker 2: I started didn't get enough love?
Speaker 6: Yeah that was when was that? That was like three
Speaker 6: years ago? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 6: The Michael Myers mask on just standing in public? Yeah, yeah, yea,
Speaker 6: we might think get that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was at party City a couple of weeks
Speaker 2: ago with my wife and I did I found a
Speaker 2: Michaels Myers mask in the corner and I just kind
Speaker 2: of started doing that to her. Yeah, in the hall somewhere.
Speaker 2: She just like, wouldn't be I was zero help whatever
Speaker 2: we were trying to. But I also saw a couple
Speaker 2: of comments I'm gonna get with coop our graphic designs
Speaker 2: guy about movies watch list thirty one days. So after
Speaker 2: we get done with this episode, I'm gonna go and
Speaker 2: type a couple of movies up and we'll make sure
Speaker 2: to get that out this week for you, hopefully by tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Hopefully by tomorrow would be absolutely fantastic as you want, man,
Speaker 2: but god, it's here. Do the do the boys want
Speaker 2: to say anything about Spootober? Do you guys want to
Speaker 2: get anything going? Mitch is holding microphone up. Do you
Speaker 2: just want to talk about how fired up you are
Speaker 2: about Spootober? And also the lights? Incredible? Incredible?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, as you can see, Sherman and I
Speaker 7: we're pretty dialed in to this. Uh spootover?
Speaker 2: Are you guys dressing up every week?
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're gonna try and we're gonna have an outfit
Speaker 7: or a costume.
Speaker 2: I love that for each week.
Speaker 7: Right now, I'm a football players.
Speaker 2: You can football player?
Speaker 7: What would you like?
Speaker 8: As you can tell, I am a pirate. I am
Speaker 8: paying homage to the og pirate Mike Leach, the inventor
Speaker 8: of the spread offense, ORC and rips in the chat.
Speaker 2: Can we plan on the other four boys to wear
Speaker 2: some costumes this week? This month?
Speaker 6: For sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh wow? All right, buying into the spook got
Speaker 2: gotta dive right in?
Speaker 6: Should we dive into this massive weekend of NFL football?
Speaker 2: We just watched. Absolutely. I had to pull up the
Speaker 2: All twenty two this week and catch up because it
Speaker 2: was a long way.
Speaker 6: The boy might be dusting off the old Redskins jerseys
Speaker 6: because Washington has a squad Daniels. Jaden Daniels is nice
Speaker 6: and nice enough to where he might be getting himself
Speaker 6: into the MVP talk at some point if he keeps
Speaker 6: this up. Because I want to say, his completion percentage
Speaker 6: is like, what was it eighty two, eighty four or
Speaker 6: something like that.
Speaker 2: That's insane.
Speaker 6: The highest completion percentage was one hundred game minimum, like
Speaker 6: over Tom Brady, Peyton, Manning, Drew Brees, Like, legit, bro,
Speaker 6: he's nice, he's him. They've had and I forget what
Speaker 6: it is, like sixteen it was either sixteen or fourteen
Speaker 6: consecutive scoring drives, which is like a record. They've only
Speaker 6: punted like one time three in the last three games, Bro,
Speaker 6: I think they've only punted one time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's well. I get so worried about Jaden Daniels
Speaker 2: just because of RG three.
Speaker 7: For sure.
Speaker 6: But the way this kid can spin the man, he
Speaker 6: can be off balance like and he just flicks the
Speaker 6: wrist and it is a piss missile bro like he
Speaker 6: is very good because a couple of weeks ago, I
Speaker 6: want to say they were they were one in one.
Speaker 6: I forget who they were about to play. Who they
Speaker 6: played two weeks ago? It wasn't the Bengals. Bengals was
Speaker 6: last week?
Speaker 2: Last week was the Patriots. No, can you bring up
Speaker 2: their schedule? Sure?
Speaker 6: Yeah, but a couple of weeks ago, it was like,
Speaker 6: I want to say they were.
Speaker 2: An underdog Giants.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Giants, And and you're sitting there and you're
Speaker 6: seeing how bad the Cowboys played. You're seeing that the
Speaker 6: Eagles are they're one and one as well, like the
Speaker 6: inspiration in locker room, like, hey, you know, the division
Speaker 6: is obviously wide open. There's not like a true front
Speaker 6: runner in the NFC East right now, they pull off
Speaker 6: a win against the Giants and they go into the
Speaker 6: Bengals and it's the same situation. It's kind of like
Speaker 6: they could have a massive game here because everybody knows
Speaker 6: how the Bengals start very slow and Joe Burrow starts slow,
Speaker 6: and you see how well they played against the Bengals
Speaker 6: thirty eight to thirty three, beat them at Sinci. Then
Speaker 6: they go to Arizona, right they go to Arizona, and
Speaker 6: I know, yeah, when I was on the Pro Football
Speaker 6: Football Show, my whole thing with Big Kat was like
Speaker 6: it's like you want to pick them, but at the
Speaker 6: same time, you want to see how they handle winning
Speaker 6: because you got a brand new quarterback. They haven't started.
Speaker 6: They rarely start this way to where they're like two
Speaker 6: in one going on the road to Arizona, and Arizona's
Speaker 6: like a spicy team with Kyler Murray and everybody else.
Speaker 6: But you want to see, like how they handle winning
Speaker 6: because that organization's always been usually like a five hundred
Speaker 6: ball club. There's always been a cloud over them anytime
Speaker 6: we would get out ahead, like you drop.
Speaker 2: One, you drop two.
Speaker 6: But the way they fucking beat the shit out of
Speaker 6: the Arnold's forty two to fourteen at a Z after
Speaker 6: going into Sincy on the road and beating them at Sensey,
Speaker 6: it's like, Yo, Washington could be for real.
Speaker 2: This year, like a jail contender this year or a playoff.
Speaker 6: I think, so, I don't see why not. It's like
Speaker 6: Jaye Daniels again, we're talking about him. He's playing at
Speaker 6: an MVP level, not like Offensive Player of the Year,
Speaker 6: not like hey, he's the best rookie quarterback. Like right now,
Speaker 6: he is fucking spinning the rock. And I'm telling you,
Speaker 6: you know how the locker room can be. If you
Speaker 6: have a hot fucking quarterback, you always got a shot.
Speaker 6: And you know he can run. He's like he can
Speaker 6: run like fucking Michael Vick. Yeah, but uh yeah, I
Speaker 6: think that they're a real contender this year. It's like,
Speaker 6: legit Washington is up right now.
Speaker 2: It's crazy to me that this Jaden Daniels kid, that
Speaker 2: video that came out when he was leaving as U Yeah,
Speaker 2: yah yah yah, you bitch ass crack, go ahead and
Speaker 2: go yeah out of here. We don't need you anyway.
Speaker 2: The locker room does what he does, wins the Heisman,
Speaker 2: and now this like the kid just lives with a
Speaker 2: chip on his shoulder.
Speaker 6: Yeah continues, and he is a genetic specimen. I'm telling
Speaker 6: you should you should get some of these highlighted throws
Speaker 6: that he has. Like he's like unbalanced and it's very
Speaker 6: he's got the quickest release. He can kind of be
Speaker 6: in a very uncoordinated spot and he just I mean,
Speaker 6: rockets bro.
Speaker 2: Puts a dime out there. It is impressive. Man, I
Speaker 2: hope they can continue it because that kind of story
Speaker 2: to me is awesome, especially a team like Washington that
Speaker 2: just needs they need something.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they need something, and the district gets fucking hype
Speaker 6: now that they have a good team and they got
Speaker 6: a quarterback like this about it. They're about it, Bro,
Speaker 6: I'm telling you that place is gonna be on fire.
Speaker 2: I feel like the NFC East is just that is
Speaker 2: like the media mecca for the NFL. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: Eagles seem to be like they're in trouble.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, absolutely, And but Baker Mayfield all the same
Speaker 2: playing the Eagles this week seems like he's the fucking man.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he bounced back. Did you see the Tom Brady
Speaker 6: tape on the Leadership He was like, Hey, they want
Speaker 6: me to come in, like basically bring the juice like
Speaker 6: rig Night, And Tom Brady had the comment on his
Speaker 6: commentary of like, you know, his his stress was not
Speaker 6: having Super Bowl rings, Like it's not about having fun.
Speaker 6: You're coming into work, You're coming in to get something done.
Speaker 6: Like that's the mentality of a champion spoken like a
Speaker 6: true goat. Yeah, like a true goat. What's your what's
Speaker 6: your take on?
Speaker 2: Like him?
Speaker 6: I don't think he's taking a shot at Baker's leadership style.
Speaker 6: I think he was just talking about it from his perspective.
Speaker 2: I have to I saw I read the quote. I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't see him actually saying it. It would have
Speaker 2: to I would have to see like his tone of
Speaker 2: voice when he's saying it, because yeah, I feel like
Speaker 2: Tom is the type of guy that like will joke
Speaker 2: around and have a good time with his boys, but
Speaker 2: the minute like anybody comes at him, he's like he
Speaker 2: kind of comes off as like a sensitive cat, like
Speaker 2: he doesn't want if he's in the locker room, everyone's like,
Speaker 2: you know, Tom, You're like this, I'm about winning, That's
Speaker 2: what I'm about. Yeah, So it's kind of he fallows
Speaker 2: back at a single time. There's more than one way
Speaker 2: to skin a cat, right for sure. You can have
Speaker 2: fun styles out there, get after it. I think you
Speaker 2: see a big difference in Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Like Patrick Mahomes obviously has great leadership and he's got
Speaker 2: an elite talent level, but they seem like they have
Speaker 2: a little more fun at Kansas City than you would watch.
Speaker 2: When Tom Brady was at the Patriots for twenty years,
Speaker 2: or in Tampa Bay for a couple of years. He
Speaker 2: was when they won a super Bowl. So you know,
Speaker 2: if I'm Baker, I'm taking everything personal because you just
Speaker 2: you continue to you know, you were the first overall
Speaker 2: pick in Cleveland. Took him to a playoffs, they said, okay,
Speaker 2: that's not good enough. He bounced around a little bit.
Speaker 2: Now he finds a home in Tampa Bay, and he's
Speaker 2: really just lighting it up. If I'm Baker and it
Speaker 2: wasn't meant as a shot, I'm still taking as a shot,
Speaker 2: Like now I have a vendetta against the goat and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put him wrong as well.
Speaker 6: I could see it just being water off his back.
Speaker 6: I mean, he he understands the spot he's in. He
Speaker 6: understands the locker room as well as anybody else. He's
Speaker 6: obviously the quarterback. He knows the juice that he brings.
Speaker 6: So I'm sure if he hears that, I could easily
Speaker 6: see it just being like, yeah, you understand Tom is
Speaker 6: saying the comment that he is, but he's saying it
Speaker 6: from Tom's world, and obviously you can't argue Tom's world.
Speaker 6: He's got what seven Super Bowl rings, eight super Bowl rings.
Speaker 6: But knowing Baker like he could, I mean, he understands
Speaker 6: the post of the locker room better than anybody.
Speaker 2: He understands his role.
Speaker 6: I think he's completely comfortable in knowing that the way
Speaker 6: he's doing is is totally like his way, you know
Speaker 6: what I mean. It's so at the point that there's
Speaker 6: a lot of different styles of leadership and everything else.
Speaker 6: You got, like an older team, there could be some
Speaker 6: times where you're around the same thing every year. You
Speaker 6: lose a little bit of spark, you lose a little
Speaker 6: bit of fun because of just the veteran mentality that
Speaker 6: can kind of like sink into the place. And knowing
Speaker 6: that Baker's kind of got that youth to him, that
Speaker 6: fun where he talks shit, he's a little more savvy
Speaker 6: about it. He puts your shoulder into somebody. He knows
Speaker 6: that like that can ignite. Like then when you're a vet,
Speaker 6: just in the monotony of professional football year in and
Speaker 6: you're out day in and day out, you kind of
Speaker 6: like see it and it kind of brings like that youth,
Speaker 6: that youthism back to you on just having fun playing
Speaker 6: the game.
Speaker 2: The thing I love about Baker Mayfield is that being
Speaker 2: a first overall pick and then being widely seen as
Speaker 2: like a bust after the whole Cleveland thing, Like if
Speaker 2: you think he was gonna take Cleveland, make him super
Speaker 2: Bowl team over and over again. Right then he leaves
Speaker 2: and has to go a bunch of different places. But
Speaker 2: Baker hasn't changed him at all. Right, He hasn't like
Speaker 2: tried to become something he's not to get away from
Speaker 2: the the comments of like, oh he's you know, maybe
Speaker 2: a distraction, he's a little too much about himself, those
Speaker 2: types of things. He's just continued to be him and
Speaker 2: just allowing us to show like, hey, you can act
Speaker 2: this way and still be the fucking.
Speaker 6: Exactly because you'll never I mean, there's no video evidence
Speaker 6: of Tom Brady hitting like the gritty or hitting some
Speaker 6: dance in front of the team and the team going nuts.
Speaker 2: Like Baker's just got a difference. I think goes all
Speaker 2: the way back to Oklahoma. Yeah, as a freshman circled
Speaker 2: out doing the dance. Dude, it's cool too, like and
Speaker 2: pivoting from that, like you's seeing a guy like Sam Darnold.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Sam is like not near the
Speaker 2: friend of the show, friend of the show. But he's
Speaker 2: not near like the personality that Baker Mayfield is. But
Speaker 2: I'm sure like he had to go through the same
Speaker 2: like type of like mental trials and tribulations that Baker
Speaker 2: went through as well, with everybody kind of shitting him.
Speaker 2: He get him getting drafted to a big media market,
Speaker 2: everyone kind of being like this guy, this is a guy.
Speaker 2: Now He's like, no, he's not our guy. He's dead
Speaker 2: to us. Carol Goes finds a home at the Vikings.
Speaker 2: The Vikings draft to quarterback with maybe the future best
Speaker 2: quarterback of all time.
Speaker 6: We also spent time with Sam fran too. He's just
Speaker 6: like the backup. He never got an opportunity behind Bro,
Speaker 6: so he's just.
Speaker 2: Been sitting and stewing and and anytime you're like if
Speaker 2: you're viewed as a big time player and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, everyone's like, you're actually not a big
Speaker 2: time player, you're a bust. You can just have a
Speaker 2: good back up sit in the shadows for that many
Speaker 2: years and to come out and play the way he
Speaker 2: is and before and oh with the Minnesota Vikings is
Speaker 2: and still keep that mental my favorite story yeah right
Speaker 2: now and still like keeping that mental fortitude of like,
Speaker 2: you know, I can still do this shit.
Speaker 6: I think he's with you know. This is a great
Speaker 6: example too of being in the right situation right, coaching
Speaker 6: too right. I mean, obviously you never want to see
Speaker 6: anybody get hurt, but sometimes when you're a backup, like
Speaker 6: when somebody gets hurt, that's your opportunity to come in.
Speaker 6: And when JJ McCarthy went down, I don't think anybody
Speaker 6: was crowning the Vikings as being a contender yet because like,
Speaker 6: all right, rookie quarterback, let's see how he does, high
Speaker 6: praise and everything else. It'll probably take a year he
Speaker 6: goes down. Vikings are completely counted out of the conversation
Speaker 6: in the NFC North with the Viight or with the Packers,
Speaker 6: the Bears, the Lions. They're kind of like that. No
Speaker 6: one's even talking about that, right, And here it's a
Speaker 6: great division too, right, right, And for Sam to be
Speaker 6: in that spot with that staff, you got Kevin O'Connell,
Speaker 6: who's like a quarterback whispered also coach phenomenal, head coach
Speaker 6: Wes Phillips, who's the OC. They've all came from that
Speaker 6: webbing of Shanahan McVeigh, all that stuff, And for him.
Speaker 6: This is a great example of just kind of being
Speaker 6: in the right situation, the right opportunity, coming about keeping
Speaker 6: that mental fortitude about you and taking advantage of your
Speaker 6: fucking opportunity. He is playing tremendous Like he's somebody I
Speaker 6: think he's got eleven touchdowns to three interceptions. He's truly
Speaker 6: somebody that could be in the MVP conversation because everybody's like,
Speaker 6: you know, they might drop one this weekend. They've handled business,
Speaker 6: they can throw the ball well, they can run the
Speaker 6: ball well, and they're playing great defense because flora is.
Speaker 6: They're in the second year with Flora's system, Like he's
Speaker 6: obviously showing that he's He's always been an incredible coordinator,
Speaker 6: had his laps as a head coach down in Miami,
Speaker 6: But it seems like the Vikings are like finding their
Speaker 6: swing and they truly they could be the guys in
Speaker 6: the NFC.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Flora' has always done a great job of getting
Speaker 2: his defensive lineman to be penetrating defensive lineman and just
Speaker 2: messing up run games. Yeah, over and over play action
Speaker 2: passes like he just kills it.
Speaker 6: Imagine imagine a year of like the Buccaneers, the Washing
Speaker 6: Commanders and the Minnesota Vikings are the three teams in
Speaker 6: the NFC that.
Speaker 2: Would be insane.
Speaker 6: Imagine those three quarterbacks being up for the m v
Speaker 6: P exactly, just crazy. That's the comeback story of the
Speaker 6: year right there. Well, obviously Jane he's not coming back.
Speaker 6: But Baker he got his big bag. He's still playing
Speaker 6: very well. But can there be like, could Sam Darnold
Speaker 6: be a comeback player of the Year, just based on based.
Speaker 2: On yesterday, Like do you have to be injured or
Speaker 2: sick or injured? What's the deal?
Speaker 1: Dude?
Speaker 2: Speaking of Joe, Anthony Richardson goes down and dude, we
Speaker 2: were we were talking about the Titans for you. Anthony
Speaker 2: Richardson goes down, and you know, half of the coaching
Speaker 2: staff was like, Joe was going in there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know that, like you know Flacco going in
Speaker 6: what he did with the Browns last year. That everybody
Speaker 6: in that locker room, everybody, everybody likes Anthony Richard wants
Speaker 6: him to play.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 6: He was the first he was their first run draft back.
Speaker 6: He was hurt last year. The front office everybody wants
Speaker 6: him to he's there right because he's there as a
Speaker 6: first rounder. He's there as like your franchise quarterback. But
Speaker 6: you know, even when he goes down and you have
Speaker 6: somebody like Flacco on the roster, you know, everybody's kind
Speaker 6: of just fired up because it's like, Yo, let's watch
Speaker 6: Joe spin it again. And they might be a better
Speaker 6: football team now with Joe Flacco under center because Anthony Richardson,
Speaker 6: as much as much of a high ceiling that he has,
Speaker 6: there are intermediate throws and stuff that he you know,
Speaker 6: everybody kind of talks about his accuracy a little bit.
Speaker 6: With Joe, the entire playbook pretty much opens now because
Speaker 6: he's been in systems, he's been He's he's cut his
Speaker 6: teeth in this game for so long. Like he knows
Speaker 6: everybody's playbook. You know, he can take shots, intermediate passes,
Speaker 6: run game. He doesn't have the legs that Anthony Richardson does,
Speaker 6: But you got a guy who can legitimately make you contender,
Speaker 6: and you get a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, who
Speaker 6: has the best the best defense in the league maybe
Speaker 6: the Vikings do, but one of the best defenses in
Speaker 6: the league, and to beat their ass by the way too.
Speaker 6: I did pick and I did bet on the Colts
Speaker 6: really just want to you've had you had a big week. Yeah,
Speaker 6: oh obviously we'll get to college football.
Speaker 2: But I had a big week in college the Colts.
Speaker 2: Literally the only thing that like the book closes on
Speaker 2: when Anthony Richardson is out and Joe Fly who goes
Speaker 2: in is the RPO. After that, it's like you can
Speaker 2: literally sling it and Anthony Richardson like he's still got it,
Speaker 2: like you said, a lot of ceiling high, like a
Speaker 2: very high talented individual. And you see like these kind
Speaker 2: of circus throws off his back foot early in the season,
Speaker 2: but then you go watch the entire game and it's
Speaker 2: like he's kind of missing it here, missing it there,
Speaker 2: but you can see it in those couple of throws
Speaker 2: and held go, holy shit, this guy could be a guy.
Speaker 2: I think he could just set his feet, step into
Speaker 2: his throat and have like accuracy on the regular place
Speaker 2: as well. Yeah, because Joe, Joe might be the man again, dude,
Speaker 2: he might the life Joe. When we enter up this
Speaker 2: episode to bring you something near and dear to our hearts,
Speaker 2: and that's game Time. You thought Game time was easy
Speaker 2: to get tickets, last minute, it just got a whole
Speaker 2: lot easier. Let me tell you about it. Football season
Speaker 2: is here and we can't wait to get get out

Speaker 2: of game Time, the official ticketing partner of barstool Sports,

Speaker 2: time picks. Now back to the episode, Holy shit, ho
Speaker 2: stuff sliding? What time is it? Game time? Yeah? Oh,
Speaker 2: game time.
Speaker 6: Speaking of struggling, Michigan struggle a little bit against Minnesota.
Speaker 2: We had we had a bad fourth quarter. We had
Speaker 2: a bad fourth quarter. The boys were up twenty four
Speaker 2: to three. Oh, I was, yeah, I was. We were
Speaker 2: watching the game together. Yeah, we're up twenty four to three.
Speaker 6: They got an onside kick, very questionable off side penalty.
Speaker 2: A lot of different calls could have got in a
Speaker 2: lot different ways that game. I'm very happy that the
Speaker 2: Brown jug as it should be, stays in and arbor, Michigan.
Speaker 2: Great ball game.
Speaker 6: Throw out the records, throw out the talent.
Speaker 2: We are the brown ball team to not throw the
Speaker 2: ball in the entire country. Yeah. No, one runs it
Speaker 2: better than us, consistently better than us. This Mullen's kid
Speaker 2: might be a Heisman Trophy candidate, might be Heiden Trophy
Speaker 2: behind Travis Hunter. Right now, I'm just saying it's a
Speaker 2: good ball club up there in A two. We're doing
Speaker 2: good things. And a couple of weeks ago, a lot
Speaker 2: of boys back there and over to my right, we're
Speaker 2: talking a little bit about Michigan, saying they're going to
Speaker 2: struggle this Minnesota is gonna be a problem. They weren't
Speaker 2: even a problem. It was nothing good, that was nothing
Speaker 2: the entire time. Oh no, being ten and one going
Speaker 2: into the game, very alive. Yeah, man, but the scoreboard
Speaker 2: doesn't tell. And also they don't ask how, they ask
Speaker 2: how many? Sure? Right for sure? Because we could literally
Speaker 2: say the same thing about Georgia. Alabama. Gee, yes, except
Speaker 2: what do you mean, dude, the frozen tundra. Those boys
Speaker 2: are built different in Minnesota. Alabama was stomping that ass
Speaker 2: against Georgia, and then all of a sudden they let
Speaker 2: Georgia come back. Lord, Georgia takes the lead late in
Speaker 2: the game. Seventeen year old kids said, let me go
Speaker 2: and put the crimson tight on my back.
Speaker 6: That game was incredible. Ryan Williams could play in the
Speaker 6: NFL right now. I'm seventeen years old. It's insane, dude.
Speaker 2: The kid, as a freshman in high school, qualified for
Speaker 2: the six A Alabama state championship in the one hundred
Speaker 2: meter and the two hundred meter. He is a specimen.
Speaker 2: He is him.
Speaker 6: When he caught that one like back shoulder and stopped
Speaker 6: on a dime, made two defensive backs like not linebackers,
Speaker 6: not de lineman run into each other. Yeah, other athletes
Speaker 6: stop and start and excel and go score like his
Speaker 6: ability is incredible. And then that one over the middle,
Speaker 6: that deep one over the middle that was bouncing and
Speaker 6: to keep his coordination and catch the ball like Ryan
Speaker 6: Williams is insane. And then his trolling job. Did you
Speaker 6: see his troll with beating Georgie. He put a profile
Speaker 6: picture of Michael Vick like holding the puppy. Like having
Speaker 6: that type of pro troll mentality at the age of
Speaker 6: seventeen is iconic. Like he's building something extremely special. All
Speaker 6: my stock I am in on Ryan Williams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for him to catch that seventy five yard bomb
Speaker 2: from Jalen Milroe, do a half spin freeze in the
Speaker 2: air and you see him look back like where are
Speaker 2: they at? Then spin back. He was literally defined gravity.
Speaker 2: It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 6: And Jalen Milroe learn to throw. I mean he's like
Speaker 6: out running sec defenses like to the sideline, walk in
Speaker 6: the tightrope very quickly and just accelerating like he is
Speaker 6: insane as well, and he can throw the ball very well. Yeah,
Speaker 6: Alabama looks tough. Alabama looks tough. I was surprised to
Speaker 6: see Georgia come back and get the lead back and
Speaker 6: everything else because you guys started fast and looked like,
Speaker 6: oh you had dude is like step on their throat.
Speaker 2: But that game was I mean, that was a classic. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think, I.
Speaker 9: Mean, obviously it doesn't matter how but you got the dub.
Speaker 9: I think the one thing we learned was like you
Speaker 9: just can never let off the gas, especially when you're
Speaker 9: playing Georgia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like or Minnesota one hundred percent.
Speaker 9: Like Minnesota or Georgia, same difference, but there was I've
Speaker 9: obviously watched it two three times since then, but there's
Speaker 9: a couple of drives where you're like, you know, you
Speaker 9: can't be greedy, but you're like, man, if we could
Speaker 9: have just scored on this one, like you could have
Speaker 9: put them away not knowing what's coming, but insane atmosphere
Speaker 9: like it just you know, I love seeing coach get
Speaker 9: fired up on a p I call and like you know,
Speaker 9: the team just rallies around him. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 9: you couldn't ask for a better first quarter.
Speaker 4: Who's the quarterback for Georgia was his name, Carson Beck?
Speaker 2: Carson Beck. He had a couple of miscues too, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 6: Because they were they were coming back, like that game
Speaker 6: was all yeah, sure.
Speaker 9: Once they started taking their shots, it was like all right, fuck, yeah,
Speaker 9: let's just yeah, of course, he's.
Speaker 6: Like I almost I almost cashed out on my five
Speaker 6: leg parlay because that game was so close. I had
Speaker 6: like two fifty on this five leg parlay. It was
Speaker 6: Nebraska to win, Michigan to win, Alabama to win, Kansas
Speaker 6: State to win, and Notre Dame to win.
Speaker 2: So Alabama was the last game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I put two fifty on it to win,
Speaker 6: like sixteen to fifty, and the cash out was flirting
Speaker 6: around one thousand dollars, one thousand and forty dollars, and
Speaker 6: I was flirting with it because I didn't know how
Speaker 6: that game was gonna go.
Speaker 2: But all the boys are like, no, you have to
Speaker 2: run a couple of guys. That's not true. A couple
Speaker 2: of guys.
Speaker 6: Couple guys.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but it was like you should have won more
Speaker 9: than what you won.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, when Georgia scored late, scored late on like
Speaker 2: really quick, willly fast. I looked at Will was like,
Speaker 2: that's perfect for your parlay. That's exactly. Yeah, that was
Speaker 2: the closest margin of ver though.
Speaker 6: I think the it was almost like a pick him
Speaker 6: where Bamar was favored by two or something like that,
Speaker 6: Like Michigan had a bigger one, Nebraska had a bigger
Speaker 6: spread to cover. But I and I just I just
Speaker 6: chose money lines, like I didn't pick them covering right
Speaker 6: because you guys didn't cover.
Speaker 2: No, we didn't. We were covering until the end. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Georgia of the North, Georgia of the North Minnesota. That's great.
Speaker 2: That's a good call.
Speaker 7: Ge.
Speaker 8: You all haven't seen it the uh that final Ryan
Speaker 8: Williams play. Did you all see the Japanese comings?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 8: On that it's crazy. Play makes a play, It makes
Speaker 8: a play that much better.
Speaker 2: They just losing their minds.
Speaker 8: Oh, losing their minds. What they say, like, well, can
Speaker 8: we play the audio? We can't play. We could maybe
Speaker 8: put it in posts play clip now, but it makes
Speaker 8: it that much better.
Speaker 2: They went crazy.
Speaker 6: Hey, big bounce back, Big bounce back, win from Nebraska
Speaker 6: handle business Purdue. It was closer for a second. Pridue
Speaker 6: is up on It's like three to oh. I think,
Speaker 6: what was zero zero going in a half? Seven seven punts,
Speaker 6: three missfield goals. I mean, guys, we've had some special
Speaker 6: teams woes in the in recent years, Like I mean,
Speaker 6: if we, if we, I'm just saying I never want
Speaker 6: to go after a college kids for missing field goals.
Speaker 6: But that is something you just you know, we gotta
Speaker 6: get We have to get corrected because he obviously lost
Speaker 6: us the game by now making that game winning field
Speaker 6: goal against Illinois. Then you go in you still got
Speaker 6: the yips carrying over into Purdue, and you missed the
Speaker 6: two field goals in the first half. Like Brett Mahart
Speaker 6: just got hired there as like the consultant to coach kickers, Brett.
Speaker 2: We need to have that ship right.
Speaker 6: But but nonetheless, big win. I think what twenty eight
Speaker 6: to ten, massive fourth quarter for us. We finally woke
Speaker 6: up Dan Raila's first game on the road. It was
Speaker 6: Nebraska's first game of the year, first game on the
Speaker 6: road this year.
Speaker 2: We got a big one.
Speaker 6: We got a big one with who I think we
Speaker 6: got Rutgers this week, Rutgers in Indiana, both teams undefeated.
Speaker 6: Indiana is nice, man, Big is becoming solid. Yeah, we
Speaker 6: have a solid middle class in the Big Ten because
Speaker 6: Rutgers undefeated, Indiana's undefeated. Indiana does look really good. What's
Speaker 6: the line right now for Rutgers Nebraska? Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 6: sure USC knuck one out. Wisconsin was in their ass, bro,
Speaker 6: but then they just came alive and second half.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean Wisconsin really had them on the
Speaker 2: ropes and they could not put it together. It would
Speaker 2: have been great to see like USC just go completely
Speaker 2: defeated an all pay ten players. Right, Hey, welcome to
Speaker 2: big boy Paul right, welcome, But fickle man, he hasn't
Speaker 2: really putting it together in Wisconsin at all. I know
Speaker 2: he needs to get that going. We had some stuff
Speaker 2: going on with the Wi FI. Man, it is tough
Speaker 2: out here, hey, JP.
Speaker 6: South Carolina is looking a lot better the way Kentucky's
Speaker 6: been playing upset over Old miss which nobody's saw coming.
Speaker 10: People are refusing to give us our credit for that
Speaker 10: win too, which is wild, like and nobody is talking
Speaker 10: about it was It's always a fluke, like, Oh dang,
Speaker 10: how did South Carolina beat him that bad?
Speaker 1: Maybe we've beat him that bad because.
Speaker 10: We're really good.
Speaker 6: Maybe you guys actually have a squad, might have actually,
Speaker 6: lu So, I would have preferred to play Ole Miss
Speaker 6: if Ole Miss was undefeated, because I always love handed
Speaker 6: teams their first loss.
Speaker 10: Sorry in advanced Garrett in Obama. Yeah, but we'll go
Speaker 10: ahead and bury Oh missus playoff chances. Yeah, Beemer, tell
Speaker 10: the team bring the shovels because it's over and we
Speaker 10: would be spreading dirt on the rebels.
Speaker 2: But yeah, dude, just poetically murdering a team right now.
Speaker 10: It's it's looking nice if we got our quarterback and
Speaker 10: running back back and we get a dub over Oh Miss.
Speaker 10: I do love the time of year. We're playing Alabama
Speaker 10: because they have Tennessee right after us, and we are
Speaker 10: definitely a team that they could probably overlook.
Speaker 2: Right So I like.
Speaker 10: Where we're at right now.
Speaker 2: You're in a good spot.
Speaker 1: Gotta beat Ole Miss.
Speaker 2: Jack. You gotta be feeling good with Tennessee. Man, they're
Speaker 2: in the top five now, yeah, yeah, number four right now.
Speaker 11: It's just nice to have a stress free weekend. We
Speaker 11: had the bye week and the Titans obviously played yesterday
Speaker 11: Monday night. But to not have a Saturday and Sunday
Speaker 11: just stressfest. It's it's beautiful. It's like you remember what
Speaker 11: the weekends are like. We've only been in this for
Speaker 11: a month five weeks now, so but it's nice. We
Speaker 11: got some rest going into Arkansas. Playing in Arkansas, I
Speaker 11: feel like they always kind of play pretty tough nose ball.
Speaker 11: So every game moving forward, you know, you just got
Speaker 11: a oh and oh so. But I was happy to
Speaker 11: see Bama win for the reason because October nineteen, third
Speaker 11: Saturday in October, when Tennessee and Alabama play, Texas and
Speaker 11: Georgia also play.
Speaker 6: So the fact that Georgia.
Speaker 11: Is now one loss team you want, you want to
Speaker 11: be in that primetime slot, especially for US. Yeah, we
Speaker 11: want to have the biggest possible energy going into that game.
Speaker 6: But JP saying it might not even be the case
Speaker 6: because the game Cocks might be slide one in on Alabama.
Speaker 11: Who knows, who knows? I mean, Texas too kind of looked.
Speaker 11: They didn't look bad by any means. The final score
Speaker 11: doesn't I feel like reflect the game they had against Michigan.
Speaker 11: But Mississippi State is undeniably bad, and I was kind
Speaker 11: of shocked that Texas had them what was like fourteen
Speaker 11: to seven and the going yeah, six, seven and a half,
Speaker 11: and obviously they turn on the Jets. But uh, I'd
Speaker 11: love to see a Texas loss too before we go
Speaker 11: in the next few weeks. Well, yeah, it's nice to
Speaker 11: have a little bit of confidence. But the Titans on
Speaker 11: Monday Night, historically we are awesome against the Dolphins on
Speaker 11: Monday Night were three and one. So this would be
Speaker 11: the most hilarious and classic Titans event to go when
Speaker 11: we've had some embarrassing losses in the last few weeks
Speaker 11: and then go in and take care of business. But
Speaker 11: I don't know it'll happen.
Speaker 2: It's so weird, huh. I just feel it was the
Speaker 2: yips a little bit.
Speaker 11: He does have the yips right now, and especially now
Speaker 11: our only primetime game of the year, when like he's
Speaker 11: under a microscope, which I almost feel for the kid,
Speaker 11: because any small mistake he's gonna make is going to
Speaker 11: be just blown out of proportion, whether it's just fight
Speaker 11: or not. But if he makes one just dumb play,
Speaker 11: he's a meme again, and it's.
Speaker 2: Just a snowball effect.
Speaker 11: So we need one clean game from him where he
Speaker 11: just plays well, stays in the pocket. Hopefully the old
Speaker 11: line can protect him enough. And on the on the
Speaker 11: grand stage, hopefully kid a fucking win.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I talk about guys that are taking shots left
Speaker 2: and right, and PF is getting destroyed on Twitter right now,
Speaker 2: and I just know how that boy feels. Nicholas petite
Speaker 2: foreir the right tackle for the Titans. It's listen, brother,
Speaker 2: you see this clip. I've been there. Just keep fighting
Speaker 2: through their friends, just keep treasure through the mud. It'll
Speaker 2: get better, I promise. That is the worst feeling in
Speaker 2: the world to have everybody against you. You're gonna be
Speaker 2: a right though. A couple of things do we talked
Speaker 2: about last week's podcast, like Nicholas needs to just clean
Speaker 2: up a couple of things. From a technique standpoint, it's
Speaker 2: the easiest thing to do and keep the confidence, which
Speaker 2: is the most difficult thing to do.
Speaker 6: I actually have a bone to pick with you. Jack
Speaker 6: going into it says, we've obviously been talking Tennessee and
Speaker 6: college football because you look at k State taking care
Speaker 6: of business after old boy put the burrito in his ass,
Speaker 6: and then you got Florida State. He hasn't he hasn't
Speaker 6: eaten his shit yet and they're still an oh, but
Speaker 6: I'll do that after I read this DraftKings ad. Because,
Speaker 6: by the way, your boy is hot on college football.
Speaker 6: I just I do want you to know that I
Speaker 6: also had the Indianapolis Colts pick, but td Tuddy taking

Speaker 2: And the Titans need a win tonight, dude, they need
Speaker 2: a win otherwise. Joe Flack on the Colts, c J
Speaker 2: Stroud the Texans?
Speaker 6: And then La Jack, have you done anything to make
Speaker 6: amends with that Titans loss last week? And here's the
Speaker 6: only reason I ask. Here's the only reason I asked.
Speaker 6: I know, but here's the only reason I ask. The
Speaker 6: Florida State. You know that curse of the kid not
Speaker 6: eating the poop?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 6: They still suck and hauls.
Speaker 11: Fall for me at this point, the Titans lose, so
Speaker 11: I have I have other things that.
Speaker 2: And who's a team with the burrito in their ass?
Speaker 1: Just your I don't know. I forget who it was?
Speaker 1: Boston College?
Speaker 2: No, not Joe. What's up?
Speaker 1: How are we doing?
Speaker 6: Brol We got you saw you got your spot.
Speaker 2: Who's who's the burrito? Cur Ta?
Speaker 6: Kansas State? Hey Jack, Kansas State? The burrito curse happened
Speaker 6: where he said he'd shove a burrito up his ass.
Speaker 6: If they lost last week, he shoves a burrito up
Speaker 6: his ass. They end up beating the hell out of
Speaker 6: Oklahoma State.
Speaker 2: So that's the only reason.
Speaker 6: I asked if you've made amends, because it seems like
Speaker 6: this curse stuff is real.
Speaker 11: So do you want me to kill myself to amend
Speaker 11: this curse?
Speaker 2: Said?
Speaker 11: You do that, but the Titans as much as the
Speaker 11: next guy.
Speaker 2: Let's give you some context.
Speaker 1: I got I got it, you got it. You want
Speaker 1: me to murder him?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Unfortunately has to be self inflicted for Jack to.
Speaker 6: Jack said, if Malik Willis and the Green Bay Packers,
Speaker 6: Malik Willis used to play here. He said, if Malik
Speaker 6: Willis and the Packers beat the Titans, he will kill himself. Really,
Speaker 6: the Packers won, So not that we don't want Jack
Speaker 6: to actually love himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody's saying that, but we are saying you said it.
Speaker 2: But of your word. There are curses out there.
Speaker 6: Florida State they lost their very first game and somebody
Speaker 6: on the internet said that they would eat some dog
Speaker 6: ship if they lost. He never ate the dog shit.
Speaker 6: They're still winless. Kansas State they lost a couple of
Speaker 6: weeks ago, and the curse out there was I will
Speaker 6: shove a burrito in my ass if we lose. They lost,
Speaker 6: he shoves the burrito in his ass. They beat the
Speaker 6: ship out of Oklahoma State this week. So I'm trying
Speaker 6: to ask Jack if he's doing anything to break this
Speaker 6: curse because of the Titans losing. I do feel like
Speaker 6: all eyes will be on Jack to help.
Speaker 1: The curse being broken.
Speaker 11: With me being publicly hating Will Levis again, look.
Speaker 1: At this, that's a guy a burrito in a person's ass.
Speaker 2: That's a perfect way for all the people listening on
Speaker 2: the show. Joan, what do you think that is a
Speaker 2: full double meat?
Speaker 1: That burrito was actually pretty insane. That didn't shake out, just.
Speaker 2: Tightly wound, tightly wound burrito.
Speaker 6: You want perfect for him to come in on some
Speaker 6: prank stuff like that, of course, I mean this is
Speaker 6: the guy who's an icon.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to be clear, I've never seen the
Speaker 1: real never once.
Speaker 7: Let me be clear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, thanks for happy, This is awesome.

Speaker 2: Okay, I get after him.
Speaker 1: He's ibably showing Burrito's places they shouldn't be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds you have a great team around you
Speaker 2: to be like, I really don't know where I'm going.
Speaker 2: There just taking me to go. Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: Have you noticed it's been doing doing what you do now?
Speaker 2: In practical jokers? What has been the hardest transition for
Speaker 2: you in.
Speaker 1: This being by yourself? For sure?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: With your you're with your friends all the time, and
Speaker 1: that was the hardest part. So I started stand up
Speaker 1: three years ago with my first tour, and that was
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. I've been performing live my whole life.
Speaker 1: But just to be on stage by yourself and be
Speaker 1: responsible for the full sixty minutes, that's like, you know,
Speaker 1: that's a big change.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I have a squad with like production and everything else,
Speaker 6: to where you kind of know what's coming to you.
Speaker 1: In a microphone. It's pretty interesting. But the cool thing
Speaker 1: is that you're like able to when it sucks, it's
Speaker 1: your fault, but when it's great, it's your fault too.
Speaker 1: Like you don't have to share any exaccolade. So you
Speaker 1: come off stage sometimes like, wow, that was a really
Speaker 1: great show. So yeah, that that part of it was
Speaker 1: really fun.
Speaker 2: Has comedy always been something you've been interested in?
Speaker 1: It was always a side gig, It was always a
Speaker 1: side hustle for a long time. Me and the guy started,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, decades ago at this point. But
Speaker 1: I I always just did it for love of just
Speaker 1: making people laugh. And and then I got the opportunity
Speaker 1: to quit my day job and I took the leap,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad it. I'm glad it panned out.
Speaker 2: Well. Was the day job?
Speaker 1: I was selling high end baby gear and baby furniture
Speaker 1: for a company called Giggle. That's right. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: a salesman the rich moms selling all yeah, all the
Speaker 1: baby bjorns, those baby carriers and all that stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: the bugaboo chill and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: So I did.
Speaker 1: I did that and during a two week I took
Speaker 1: my vacation to film the pilot. My two week vacation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then when we got the series, I was I
Speaker 1: went for a six I said to the CEO, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got to take a six month hiatus. And she's like,
Speaker 1: so you're quitting. I was like, no, hiatus.
Speaker 2: I need the option to come back if I need.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 1: She's like, well, no, I can't leave your job empty
Speaker 1: for six months. Good luck to you. It panned out,
Speaker 1: so I'm not back to selling baby stuff yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, doubts still working out. So you feel you
Speaker 2: go take a two week vacation, you film this pilot.
Speaker 2: How long do you have to wait for this pilot
Speaker 2: to come out when you're still just selling baby stuff? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was pretty quick. Actually, they made the decision real quick.
Speaker 1: It was only I think about a month and a
Speaker 1: half maybe two months. The pilot wasn't super hard to edit.
Speaker 1: It kind of made itself like we knew the structure
Speaker 1: of it. You know, we didn't get we didn't have
Speaker 1: a lot of money, so we didn't film that much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just filmed enough to make the pilot and it was
Speaker 1: pretty quick. And then the offer came real quick, and
Speaker 1: it was like, okay, what are gonna do. You're gonna
Speaker 1: quit your job. And I was the only one that
Speaker 1: had to quit because Saloed owned a bar and you know,
Speaker 1: a comedy venue at that point, and he was bartending
Speaker 1: and doing that so he could do overnight. Q was
Speaker 1: a fireman. He would do his twenty fours and come
Speaker 1: and film. And Murr worked for the production company that
Speaker 1: ended up producing the show.
Speaker 2: So it was just like so I.
Speaker 1: Was the first one I had to like. I was
Speaker 1: like all in. I was like all right, I'm I
Speaker 1: was like, guys, this has to work.
Speaker 2: On the boys, right.
Speaker 1: But it was good because I always had an affinity
Speaker 1: for production directing, so I was able to jump in
Speaker 1: in a different capacity and learn all that and do that,
Speaker 1: which was I liked arguably as much. Yeah, being in
Speaker 1: front of the camera.
Speaker 2: So did Mr approach the production company with the idea
Speaker 2: or how did the idea?
Speaker 1: MURR was in like development stuff and he was realizing
Speaker 1: that they were there was an itch for like a
Speaker 1: new type of prank show, and we didn't want to
Speaker 1: do a prank show. We make people feel bad, and
Speaker 1: we're like, you know what, why don't we just do
Speaker 1: embarrassment comedies always? Allright? I made these guys laugh anyway,
Speaker 1: like sal and you know que and all. They would
Speaker 1: hate to be an elevator with me or like the
Speaker 1: subway because I knew we're in a closed space. I
Speaker 1: was just gonna act the full and you're gonna have fun.
Speaker 1: So the doors would shut. They would just turn beat
Speaker 1: red and starts sweating immediately because they knew I was
Speaker 1: gonna start doing something. So we just like, let's just
Speaker 1: do what we do and we filmed this is a
Speaker 1: real with our iPhones. Times Square just went through and
Speaker 1: that's awesome.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. And you do notice my wife and I
Speaker 2: went through a phase of just watching that show endlessly
Speaker 2: at night, literally laughing like out loud to each other.
Speaker 2: And you noticed that you personally like, and this is
Speaker 2: a math, compliments are the most shameless of the flame
Speaker 2: you were you were willing to really go above and beyond.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just didn't. I always did that like anyway.
Speaker 1: So it really wasn't the good thing about the show
Speaker 1: for me. And I'm not an actor. I wouldn't act.
Speaker 1: I never had. I never wanted to be in front
Speaker 1: of the camera. I was able just to make my
Speaker 1: friends laugh, be me. I had fun with it, and
Speaker 1: then we were able to build all these weird characters
Speaker 1: and do all this fun stuff. So it just became
Speaker 1: like a playground, you know. So it's funny because people like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's like just hidden cameras and no, there's so much writing, producing,
Speaker 1: production that went into it, developing of all these characters' ideas, writing,
Speaker 1: But we wanted to keep it looking like you just
Speaker 1: went up there and.
Speaker 2: Yeah you did stuff.
Speaker 1: But then stuff happens. We're like, you have all this
Speaker 1: thing planned out. This woman walks in with a huge
Speaker 1: hat and you're like, okay, well I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: get that hat on me. You know, it always out
Speaker 1: of the window. It just happens. That was the fun
Speaker 1: part of it too, was there.
Speaker 2: Ever, what was like the couple of Top three moments
Speaker 2: where you're like, I really do not want to do this,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1: Early on, I remembered like, you'll find your role, right,
Speaker 1: and I all knew when they were getting to punishment,
Speaker 1: it was always more fun to make them laugh and
Speaker 1: own it, and I would always be able to get
Speaker 1: through it being able to be like, oh, this would
Speaker 1: be better if I just go buck wild. So once
Speaker 1: I figured that out, I was like, Okay, this is insanity.
Speaker 1: I remember one of the first punishments we did ever.
Speaker 1: It was we were doing strip high five in Union Square.
Speaker 1: So me and Marty is just stupid thing. We both lost,
Speaker 1: and we had to get high five from people as
Speaker 1: they walked in, and if they didn't high five you, you
Speaker 1: had to take something off. The first guy was naked loses, right,
Speaker 1: So it's me and Marie and we're just sitting there
Speaker 1: and you had to pick your people. And I was
Speaker 1: just like Martin was like, high five, you know whatever,
Speaker 1: and I was just I just came out with like
Speaker 1: a different enerines like here it is up top, let's
Speaker 1: do it like if you were in my right. But
Speaker 1: then eventually it started like a crowd formed and we
Speaker 1: started going and we were down to like underwear to underwear,
Speaker 1: and I said to the show and I was like,
Speaker 1: what I said? Oh, I said, I said, we can't
Speaker 1: get naked here. He goes, yeah, he does. Don't worry.
Speaker 1: I said, we have a permanity. He goes, no, don't don'try.
Speaker 1: So they had like a car running on the side.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this is really fun that we're
Speaker 1: gonna do it this way. So we did it. MR
Speaker 1: ends up losing whatever, you know. So I run over
Speaker 1: and I just like, pants on whatever. He grabs his
Speaker 1: junk and he jumps in the car and leaves and
Speaker 1: they're gone, you know. So it was just such a
Speaker 1: weird thing. I was like, okay, so I like that.
Speaker 1: I like being owning it and doing it, but there's
Speaker 1: just sometimes you don't want to do it. We're in
Speaker 1: a Mets game and they were just they had no
Speaker 1: cind of guard. They had me call them Jeter. I
Speaker 1: kept calling them Jeter, and he was throwing the balls
Speaker 1: into the crowd to the kids signed yeah, and I
Speaker 1: they made me he was in on it, and so
Speaker 1: he kept throwing it into me and I had a
Speaker 1: fanny pack, and I kept stuffing them in and they're like,
Speaker 1: you can buy money Bay, you can buy money Bay,
Speaker 1: and dude, everybody the parents are going nuts and it's
Speaker 1: one woman. For some reason. I talked to her and
Speaker 1: to give me your kid. She was had this two
Speaker 1: year old toddler. She was always I want one for
Speaker 1: my son so you could grow up. Message. I said, oh,
Speaker 1: give we go get a feel. She gives me her
Speaker 1: son and I'm holding this guy. Guy was like for
Speaker 1: the kid, for the kid, throw me. I give it
Speaker 1: back and I put the fanny pack and the ball.
Speaker 1: My fanny pack is like you can buy it on eBay.
Speaker 1: She lost her ship. She melted down screaming at me
Speaker 1: like I was like, yeah, crazy, she lost it. It
Speaker 1: was crazy. Yeah. She's like we had a blur and
Speaker 1: her kid, but like the whole place stopped, like you
Speaker 1: heard her throughout the place and in my ear like
Speaker 1: you have the ear piece and you know that right there,
Speaker 1: that moment you normally, I say, what are we gonna
Speaker 1: do here, fellas? And it's dead quiet. Nobody knows what
Speaker 1: to do. So I'm like buy myself. And I'm like, uh, okay,
Speaker 1: you can buy it. On eBay. So, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: You see how on Sweat it was a rough one.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Is there sit in the Yeah?
Speaker 1: I had just sit in the moment.
Speaker 6: Is there a prank that you guys had that never
Speaker 6: got aired?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I mean for the most part we would know what
Speaker 1: would work or whatnot. There was a couple that we
Speaker 1: wanted to do that sometimes the network just didn't get.
Speaker 1: It became this thing of lore. It was called Bust
Speaker 1: to Tampa where we would change a handcuff a guy
Speaker 1: at the Grand Central station you know in in uh
Speaker 1: the Port Authority in New York to a bus that
Speaker 1: was going to Tampa and he had to go to Tampa.
Speaker 7: And it was it.
Speaker 1: Like and the network was like, okay, what's the punch?
Speaker 1: Was like, You're on a bus to Tampa, Tampa, and
Speaker 1: like we don't get them, like it's great, Like you
Speaker 1: end up the dam Like what happened? You're like, you
Speaker 1: can't leave the bus And it just didn't get it.
Speaker 1: And it was like it became the thing that every season,
Speaker 1: the first punishment in every packet to our executive was
Speaker 1: bust to Tampa. You get the guy on the bus
Speaker 1: that and then in the pilot packet, like we had
Speaker 1: to submit like ideas, and we never pulled it off
Speaker 1: because we thought it'd be too mean. We want to
Speaker 1: interrupt the wedding and just like realize you were at
Speaker 1: the wrong wedding, Apollo, and leave. So the moment you
Speaker 1: get ahead, I'm sorry you're not Marie, and then go.
Speaker 1: But we didn't want to ruin somebody's day. That's like
Speaker 1: such a big moment. It never It felt good on paper,
Speaker 1: but it felt wrong. And that turned into Sal becoming
Speaker 1: the best man at one and we wrote upon We
Speaker 1: wrote him interrupting the speech for the best man speech,
Speaker 1: and we wrote the speech for him and he had
Speaker 1: no idea what it was and he just thought it,
Speaker 1: oh and it was this big Italian running in Jersey.
Speaker 1: He got totally like that was rough.
Speaker 2: So as you guys are like transitioning into like a pilot.
Speaker 2: No one knows who you guys are. You guys are working,
Speaker 2: you're selling baby stuff. You had a fireman like everyone's
Speaker 2: kind of doing their own thing. How hard did it get?
Speaker 2: Once the show really got traction to not be seen
Speaker 2: and people be like, aren't you the guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well we got lucky because they bought a lot
Speaker 1: of episodes before we even aired. Oh yeah, so we did,
Speaker 1: like I think we did like sixteen episodes or something
Speaker 1: like that before we even hit air. Like they saw
Speaker 1: they saw the pilot and then they ordered the first episode.
Speaker 1: They ordered that what it was six maybe or something,
Speaker 1: and they saw the first episode we submitted and they
Speaker 1: said we want more, and they bought it, like the
Speaker 1: full season's which was without it airing. Saw that it
Speaker 1: was like light in a bottle and really fun. So
Speaker 1: we're like, okay, great, so here we go. And then
Speaker 1: it was on True TV, you know, which nobody knew. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Channel one million, Basic cable. Nobody's singing it, you know.
Speaker 1: So we were just like in New York City too,
Speaker 1: which was an ally because there's so many people. You know,
Speaker 1: if half the city knows you, four million people don't,
Speaker 1: just like for somebody doesn't. And then we kind of
Speaker 1: are like forgettable looking. We're kind of like normal looking,
Speaker 1: kind of ash guys blend, and you were able to
Speaker 1: see if somebody knows you were not you know, we
Speaker 1: talked to people for ten fifteen minutes before we even started,
Speaker 1: just to see if they were the right kind of person.
Speaker 1: You get one shot at it. You want to make
Speaker 1: sure it's going to be a good person. So we
Speaker 1: just sit on a park bench and start bullshitting. See
Speaker 1: if they're how interactive they are, See if their eyebrows raise.
Speaker 6: You know, were there any moments like as the show's
Speaker 6: like growing and taking off, like obviously the four of
Speaker 6: you go in on this production element, were there ever
Speaker 6: growing pains between you four?
Speaker 2: For sure?
Speaker 6: Like business wise, is it all starts to creep in.
Speaker 1: It takes off like that? Right? We had been working
Speaker 1: together for years together, so we had kind of had
Speaker 1: a one voice when it came to comedy for the
Speaker 1: most part, have outliars and different things. It's you know,
Speaker 1: some people are a little bit darker, you know, but
Speaker 1: all kind of aline aligned into our brand r you know,
Speaker 1: so that wasn't hard. But then when you have the
Speaker 1: like specific ones. I remember where we just came up
Speaker 1: with this line. We're like, trust me, I'm gonna I
Speaker 1: want to do it because it's everybody's show. So like
Speaker 1: we would talk everything out, we'd all try to get
Speaker 1: it to the right place. But I remember there was
Speaker 1: this one punishment where sal has a mind that self
Speaker 1: implodes like he's got super Alata nerat neurosis. I was like,
Speaker 1: it'd be kind of fun to mess with Sal so
Speaker 1: much that he thinks he's getting punished but he's not.
Speaker 1: But he is, but he's not, but he is. And
Speaker 1: I said, and he will have a mental breakdown on camera,
Speaker 1: will be so fun to watch. And I pitched it
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, no, I don't know if it's gonna
Speaker 1: work whatever, blah blah blah. We got to the network,
Speaker 1: I don't know. And then I was talking with Q
Speaker 1: and we're going back and forth, and I just said
Speaker 1: to my said Q, I'm gonna do it. It's gonna work,
Speaker 1: trust me. He goes fine, and that was it, and
Speaker 1: that became the line like I'm gonna do it. It's
Speaker 1: gonna work, trust me. Like that was it because he's
Speaker 1: the three other funniest guys, you know, like, of course
Speaker 1: we're gonna give it a shot. And it's also everybody's show,
Speaker 1: so who are you to say no?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So then we just started doing that, and then I
Speaker 1: remember the moment of that punishment in where Sal's mind
Speaker 1: started going crazy and you saw it, and Q stopped
Speaker 1: and he just turned to me and gave me a
Speaker 1: hug and said, you're a genius this day.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be the best thing.
Speaker 1: That was one of my favorite punishments ever because it's
Speaker 1: so personal too, like that's the one like that one
Speaker 1: who worked with any other friend, Like you do things
Speaker 1: just for Q that you know are gonna be Q
Speaker 1: was gonna crush. Yeah, And when you're in it too,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, this is so bad, but I'm
Speaker 1: so proud of them.
Speaker 2: Wonder up this episode to bring you mountain? Do you
Speaker 2: know we all need to get more of off of
Speaker 2: our ass. With bold new flavors and refreshing citrus kick,
Speaker 2: mountain dew will get you off your ass and have
Speaker 2: you feeling like you're on an actual mountain. A couple
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. Last month, actually, Will Compton tried the
Speaker 2: ball Hop Blast for the first time. How did you feel?
Speaker 6: I felt amazing because I remember pulling Taylor to the
Speaker 6: side like, Hey, I'm gonna tell you a really big secret.
Speaker 2: No I didn't. You didn't say it like that. I
Speaker 2: think I thought, no, no, no, I've never I've never tried
Speaker 2: Baha blasts before.
Speaker 6: But the way I was going into it, I was like, man,
Speaker 6: I'm really gonna sound stupid knowing I've never tried Baja
Speaker 6: blast because how everybody talks about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you loved it? I did, No, I loved
Speaker 2: it absolutely. Let's see a mountain where the weather is
Speaker 2: always perfect and your friends are ready to hang a
Speaker 2: day and a day of epic proportions. Awaits dude, think
Speaker 2: about this. It's officially Spootober. You've knocked out all of
Speaker 2: your things you have to do for Spooktober. How do
Speaker 2: you celebrate baja blasts? Code red mountain dew and for
Speaker 2: Will Compton, the diet mountain dew. Those are the things
Speaker 2: that keep us moving forward day in and day out.
Speaker 2: Caffeine free mountain dew. The mountain is calling. You should answer,
Speaker 2: Grab your friends, grab an ice cold mountain dew wherever
Speaker 2: refreshing beverages are sold, and say it together. Boys do
Speaker 2: the de nice was so like obviously you watch things
Speaker 2: like Jackass and like bamb mar Jay are growing up
Speaker 2: and you can kind of realize, Okay, Steve bo is
Speaker 2: always gonna be the guy that pukes. BAM's afraid of snakes.
Speaker 2: Like you kind of figure out everybody's like quirks and personalities. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what can you give me the three other guys? Like, oh,
Speaker 2: I can get them with this, this and this, like
Speaker 2: these are the things.
Speaker 1: All all evolved because the more you do with the
Speaker 1: thicker skin, you get right with anything, you know. But
Speaker 1: in the beginning, it was very like, you know, Murder
Speaker 1: was like a little bit of a schemer. He always
Speaker 1: try to find work at angle and it normally failed,
Speaker 1: which was fun to watch. Q was just very guy,
Speaker 1: a guy's guy, you know, So he would get away
Speaker 1: with a lot of like just being like very like
Speaker 1: came across very blue collari Oh, like he came across
Speaker 1: like very friendly as a friend, like quickly easily. Like
Speaker 1: it's like, oh I get this kind of guy. You know.
Speaker 1: You kind of remind you like of a neighbor, you know.
Speaker 1: So we would go into that. Sally just had so
Speaker 1: many things wrong with him, like he was afraid of
Speaker 1: stuff and like he's afraid of cats. So we just
Speaker 1: used that so much and but like he was trauma thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was just so stupid. The ideas we came
Speaker 1: up with that was so easy and dumb. Like we
Speaker 1: had this big we rented this thing Benjamin Cat, and
Speaker 1: we rented a we rented a cat suit and we
Speaker 1: would make it pop up and chase him and he
Speaker 1: knew it was a person, but he would be like
Speaker 1: he play it up, like we get away from it,
Speaker 1: and it would just be fun to annoy him, you know,
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And then for me, it was more
Speaker 1: just like they just wanted to see me just cause
Speaker 1: a havoc. Like it was just like put him in
Speaker 1: a place where he's gonna just make it awkward for
Speaker 1: everybody and just come out clean. Like so the bigger
Speaker 1: the scene that was always like my kind of thing.
Speaker 1: It was like, if we got to make a scene,
Speaker 1: it's gatto, you know.
Speaker 2: You know, So have you always been a guy that's
Speaker 2: like completely comfortable with being in the uncomfortable?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Always?
Speaker 1: No, No, Well it happened. I remember a moment like
Speaker 1: I was I have an older sister. I have two
Speaker 1: older sisters, but I had one I didn't get along with.
Speaker 1: And it was we were at Bella Vita, which is
Speaker 1: this big Italian restaurant in Staten Island for Easter Sunday,
Speaker 1: packed with all these Italians. My parents were smokers at
Speaker 1: the time, and this is when you could smoke in restaurants,
Speaker 1: but they had the room that you had to go
Speaker 1: in by itself with the door shut. I have to
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom. Me and my sister go through
Speaker 1: this pack place. I don't see the step and I
Speaker 1: fall hit hard. One of those at the place goes ooh,
Speaker 1: and my sister's like laughing, going ah, and the whole place.
Speaker 1: And then I popped up and went ta da and
Speaker 1: everybody started laughing and clapping, and I was like flipped
Speaker 1: off my sister and I was like, all right, this
Speaker 1: is cool. I had to be embarrassed, and that was
Speaker 1: like definitely a defining thing at like eleven twelve years older,
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, maybe I'm overthinking this thing. And
Speaker 1: then I just started being more comfortable with not being
Speaker 1: caring what people think. Not in a way where like
Speaker 1: I don't care what you think, but more like people
Speaker 1: are gonna think what they think, right, it doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: you know, not the defensive type. Some people have a
Speaker 1: defensive side of that. I don't care what you think.

Speaker 2: People just want to be cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I don't care what people think,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, it's it's it's not necessarily the right
Speaker 1: way to live, you know, but if you are comfortable
Speaker 1: and be like this is me and I just did it,
Speaker 1: Like I was always comfortable with my weird body, Like
Speaker 1: I've always very, very comfortable on the dance floor when
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be. I didn't mind being a spectacle. I
Speaker 1: was an icebreaker all the time when I was out
Speaker 1: with my boys, Like there's a you know, a group
Speaker 1: of girls, you know, just send me in. It didn't matter.

Speaker 1: And I'm the perfect mix of all them. My dad
Speaker 1: was an assassin. He would say something just loud enough
Speaker 1: that you could hear it, and when everybody was when
Speaker 1: you were laughing, and everybody's like, what are you laughing at,
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know, Like he was like one
Speaker 1: of those guys. Yeah, my favorite sorry about my dad
Speaker 1: doing that. He was in it was in Atlantic City
Speaker 1: back in the day, and he's with these two gangster
Speaker 1: types playing craps and he's on one side of the
Speaker 1: table and there's this woman on the other side and
Speaker 1: she's rolling and the two gangs of guys are smoking
Speaker 1: cigars and she's having a good roll and the guy's like,
Speaker 1: come on, come on, you broad, let's do it, you know,
Speaker 1: come on you ugly, you know, and they're making like
Speaker 1: fun or whatever, and she rolls whatever, and you know,
Speaker 1: my father just stops and he says to them, he goes, guys,
Speaker 1: could you stop talking about my wife like that? No shit?
Speaker 1: And they mount jaws open and he hysterically, I'm just knna,
Speaker 1: come on, lady, let's do it. And he just hung
Speaker 1: out with these two half a gangsters all night because
Speaker 1: he just made them, which is good. And my mother
Speaker 1: was like the complete opposite center attention lit up the room,
Speaker 1: which it came in, batshit crazy, and uh, that's me too.
Speaker 1: So I'm the mix. I think of all the absolutely
Speaker 1: five foot nothing spark of life she was. She was great, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that fires me up.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: When you no, I was going to pivot to his YouTube.
Speaker 1: I Love how Last because I was about to pivot.

Speaker 1: Yeah right, all right.
Speaker 6: I was going to pivot to his a new special
Speaker 6: on YouTube, Messing with People People. Yeah, can you give
Speaker 6: us some background on that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So I, uh, when I started my tour, Joe
Speaker 1: Gatto's Night of Comedy, you know, I did it for
Speaker 1: two and a half years. You know how it is
Speaker 1: when you work on something so hard you don't want
Speaker 1: just to go away. So you know, I was like
Speaker 1: proud of it, and I was like, I want to
Speaker 1: put it out here for the people. So I filmeddn't
Speaker 1: put it on YouTube, and uh we did what eight
Speaker 1: hundred pound goerrella. Those guys are great and it was
Speaker 1: fun because in that like I get to talk a
Speaker 1: lot about me more so like fans. When you're on stage,
Speaker 1: you get to share the spotlight, you talk about twenty
Speaker 1: five minut it's just yours. But then it's just like
Speaker 1: when you could really dive in about you, about everything
Speaker 1: about Like I realized how messing with people is in
Speaker 1: my core and I just tell I'm a storyteller. So
Speaker 1: I just told all these stories and link them together.
Speaker 1: And then how my kids now are? You know, I
Speaker 1: realize that with my kids, I'm a role model, which
Speaker 1: could be dangerous. I talk about my mom and stuff,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's fun. It's just like it's a nice,
Speaker 1: a nice way to weave together a little bit more
Speaker 1: of me. And now my new tour is more of
Speaker 1: like the personal side, Yeah, more personal of it. And
Speaker 1: then let's get into a tour. I start like you
Speaker 1: do a lot of reflection, right, so when I separated
Speaker 1: from my wife. It was the first time I've lived alone.
Speaker 1: I was an apartment by myself, forty seven years old,
Speaker 1: first time ever living alone. I always live with roommates,
Speaker 1: my parents, her or whatever, you know. And then you
Speaker 1: like sit there and you're like, wow, you really start
Speaker 1: like reflecting a lot, you know, Yeah, and you're just
Speaker 1: sitting there and you're thinking about it. And I always
Speaker 1: think about how do people become the people they are?
Speaker 1: And the only journey you know is yourself, you know,
Speaker 1: like you've been there for every minute of you Right,
Speaker 1: So then I just started, like the new hour I'm doing,
Speaker 1: let's get into it. I really break down how do
Speaker 1: I how did I become this loud, boisterous, crazy dude
Speaker 1: when I was When I was a kid, I was
Speaker 1: such a geeky, nerdy, math loving, you know, making tests
Speaker 1: for my father when it came home from work, kid,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's really just a weird way to
Speaker 1: get through it all. So that's what my New Hours about.
Speaker 1: And it's a deeper dive and it's it's it's really
Speaker 1: fun to reflect on that stuff.
Speaker 2: It all started with falling on a step at an
Speaker 2: Italian man That story into the APT I really thought
Speaker 2: it's gotta.
Speaker 1: Be you know, Yeah, it's not. That's that's a part
Speaker 1: of the shame gene stuff that goes, you know. But

Speaker 1: was like a Lord of the Rings light before they
Speaker 1: had like special effects, like all puppets and stuff. Voukilmer

Speaker 1: just like sparked all this weird creativity in me, and
Speaker 1: I started writing short stories reading them. I did magic.
Speaker 1: It's like my parents and stuff. It was really weird.
Speaker 2: You still do a little bit of magic.
Speaker 1: I got good tricks. Yeah, I got a good card

Speaker 1: I had never met. David had his daughter with him,
Speaker 1: and he just nonchalantly takes a deck of cards out
Speaker 1: of his inside pocket, like you just we're all literally
Speaker 1: just talking about something else, like we're doing like a
Speaker 1: movie or so, and then he's like clinkling, and the
Speaker 1: whole place just stops and he just starts going whatever.
Speaker 1: And I had never met him, and I'm just sitting
Speaker 1: across from him, and he starts talking. He's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: could you sign this card? Whatever? And he and he
Speaker 1: puts it in back in the deck and he starts
Speaker 1: talking about it because you remember what the card was.

Speaker 2: We had like almost cardiac arrest.
Speaker 1: Yeah did, Yeah, almost died on television. They had to
Speaker 1: wheel me out at the end like weekends at burning
Speaker 1: to say goabye, like I was underneath getting oxygen. So
Speaker 1: Nitro Circus date we did. They wanted to do a
Speaker 1: live thing at one hundredth episode. It's live TV. It's
Speaker 1: a one hundredth episode. So we're gonna do this obstacle
Speaker 1: course and make you guys do all these stupid stunts. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's do it fun.
Speaker 2: We saw it. I'm so curious, like how you earn.
Speaker 1: Don't know why we did. It's so off brand. It's
Speaker 1: not our thing. We're not physical. I dressed up by
Speaker 1: catin Captain Fat Belly. I was like, let's make it.
Speaker 1: Let's make it a thing. So I go out and
Speaker 1: the first time I go, they make it to uh.
Speaker 1: We get to the bike course, the mini bike thing
Speaker 1: like when they were training us, cub broke a rib,
Speaker 1: like he got rolled over. Really yeah, they rolled a
Speaker 1: thing rolled over on them.
Speaker 2: Those guys are just psychos.
Speaker 1: Yeah they're not. It's like it's so so weird. But
Speaker 1: they got this partnership with them.
Speaker 2: So we do it.
Speaker 1: We start and the thing, the mini bike doesn't start
Speaker 1: and the clock's ticking. It's live TV and they're like, go,
Speaker 1: go go, and I'm like it's on. So I try
Speaker 1: to push. It's too heavy. I'm like f it, I'll
Speaker 1: just run. So I run the mini bike course and
Speaker 1: I'm in no sort of shape to run. It's like uphill,
Speaker 1: this divots and then I just so I basically end
Speaker 1: up running this whole course. And the last thing of it,
Speaker 1: which is so fun, is we we had three doors
Speaker 1: that you had to jump through with our faces on them.
Speaker 1: Two of them are locked one is it right? So
Speaker 1: I decided to run and jump. See they're behind us there,
Speaker 1: and I would yell and jump and I would jump
Speaker 1: and I would go hi oh and hit the doorn't
Speaker 1: slide down. I did it on purpose, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that'd be funny. And I was like all right, and
Speaker 1: I was like the second one, I was like all right,
Speaker 1: and I'm like stumbling out the steps and I get
Speaker 1: out of half a Highoh, I'm like heyo. I hit
Speaker 1: the door and when I hit the floor, I like
Speaker 1: kind of blacked out for a minute. And I was
Speaker 1: like I either could get up and have a heart
Speaker 1: attack on live television or I could just lay here.
Speaker 1: So I just call time out and they go to commercial.
Speaker 1: And when they try to get me to my feet,
Speaker 1: I can't stand and I'm like, oh, it's like something
Speaker 1: really wrong here. And I just was like heaving, like right,
Speaker 1: So they pulled me in underneath the bleachers. They had
Speaker 1: like a med station, and they pulled me in and
Speaker 1: I go underneath and they hooked me up the oxygen
Speaker 1: and they give me an ivy to fill me up
Speaker 1: with some fluids. I'm like singing stars. They like give
Speaker 1: the whole thing there, and now everybody else is going.
Speaker 1: So everybody else is going. It's the end of the episode,
Speaker 1: and the producers coming They're like, hey, could you you
Speaker 1: gotta you know, come out, and everybody's got to see you. Okay,
Speaker 1: and I'm like I'm not okay. So they like wheel
Speaker 1: me out of the last shot. They like it's like
Speaker 1: weekend at Birdies. I'm like, eh, like Joe's okay, I'm
Speaker 1: like yeah, And then they put me in the ambulance
Speaker 1: and I went to the hospital for check.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was so so bizarre.
Speaker 2: So ended up being like the medical reasoning.
Speaker 1: It was just like fat, yeahha should not be trying
Speaker 1: to run a quarter mile at top speed and the
Speaker 1: captain fat belly spandex.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: Was going, but I was just not in you know,
Speaker 1: any shape. It was actually you know, it was built
Speaker 1: for like people who were in shape, but I had
Speaker 1: a hard time because you're supposed to be on a bike.
Speaker 1: I was supposed to run that much, I wrote ran
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 2: So is it the last time you dealt with n circus?
Speaker 1: Ever?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Ever?
Speaker 6: Ever?
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was good though, because like we did it, and
Speaker 1: as you get more into it, more established, it could
Speaker 1: be like, no, that's not right. So the next time
Speaker 1: it was time for like they wanted to do something else,
Speaker 1: we were just like no, no, thank you, we do.
Speaker 1: But there was also so much turnover at the network.
Speaker 1: I think we had in my tenure. I think there
Speaker 1: was five different presidents of the network, so everybody just
Speaker 1: came in. It was just like, leave jokers alone. It's
Speaker 1: doing its things. So it was kind of just like
Speaker 1: a wild West situation, which was fun.
Speaker 2: That's got to be a great feeling. How familiar are
Speaker 2: you with Nitro, Circus and Travis great guys.
Speaker 1: We hung out for a weekend at their ranch to
Speaker 1: train towards how to use all the stuff, which was fun. Uh,
Speaker 1: super down to earth guys, really cool. I had a
Speaker 1: great experience with them.

Speaker 1: Uh, they do what they do very well, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't for us exactly.

Speaker 2: ever seen in life. He said, like twenty seven surgeries,
Speaker 2: multiple knee replacement. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: He was telling to some horror stories and stuff. But
Speaker 1: I was like, and I asked him. I remember we
Speaker 1: were talking. Q was obsessed with him. When Q got hurt,
Speaker 1: like we ended up just hanging out and talking to him,
Speaker 1: and he was like why did you do Uh? He's like,
Speaker 1: why do you why do you do it? And he
Speaker 1: just said it's because what I do. I was like,

Speaker 6: Camp barstool shattered my toe on the first base bag
Speaker 6: playing softball, playing and it was purple black like it was.
Speaker 2: In the NFL. And he got hurt playing softball and
Speaker 2: it was brutal.
Speaker 7: I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 2: I still finished though.
Speaker 1: There you go. Who's needs to those.
Speaker 2: Probably Travis's is that Travis? He had he had one
Speaker 2: man there was so they had like Nina Circus one, two,
Speaker 2: and three that came out when I was in middle school,
Speaker 2: and there's one of Travis hitting this step up which
Speaker 2: is like you go off a ramp, but you land
Speaker 2: higher then you you took off and he like just
Speaker 2: endos his bike.
Speaker 1: Which is the front wheel coming up and you just
Speaker 1: familiar with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just like like scorpions himself and I think
Speaker 2: that's when he broke his steamer. It was like the
Speaker 2: most insane and he just the guys just fucking doing
Speaker 2: but the.
Speaker 1: Nerve to do that right, just they have like toddler,
Speaker 1: you know that, like they don't know, zero.
Speaker 2: Fear, just kind of lean over and I wonder if
Speaker 2: I fell.
Speaker 1: I'm with my family where my daughter were in Turks
Speaker 1: and Keicos on vacation and my daughter goes dad watches.
Speaker 1: They had like a pool, like a little rock.
Speaker 2: Pool was good.
Speaker 1: She climbed up on a rock and did her front
Speaker 1: flip into the pool. I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I said to my I said, that's so cool. I
Speaker 1: was like, you knew she knew idea that she goes
Speaker 1: no and I was like, well, we're bad parents, and
Speaker 1: she was like it's fun. I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: do it again, just not doing flips off the rock
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's crazy, like no fear to do it.
Speaker 1: It's so fun. I know.
Speaker 2: I wish we all kind of had that still, because
Speaker 2: being a kid and not being afraid of things is
Speaker 2: the best.
Speaker 1: That's it. They made me break tables with my body,
Speaker 1: which was a fun one. Whenever gets to use my
Speaker 1: body as a comedic weapon. It was always fun. So
Speaker 1: they did this one where I was the manager and
Speaker 1: they planted ten breakaway tables in this restaurant and I
Speaker 1: had to find them. So I had to just jump
Speaker 1: on these tables and see they so.
Speaker 7: Some of you.
Speaker 1: Just l entrees.
Speaker 7: So it was so weird.
Speaker 1: So the last one they put up, they put.
Speaker 2: Dropped.
Speaker 1: I dropped an elbow off.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is happening.
Speaker 1: And I was like, this is that's what and I yelled,
Speaker 1: this is happening. I tapped my elbow and I came
Speaker 1: off the top and they had missed. I overshot and
Speaker 1: I missed the bag underneath. So they had like put
Speaker 1: like a little bit of an airbag to soften the fall.
Speaker 1: But I overshot it and I hit hard like that
Speaker 1: one didn't break. So this guy's just trying to eat
Speaker 1: his antipasta. It was really fun, man. Yeah, so that
Speaker 1: we did stuff like that, but that was on brand
Speaker 1: for us, you know, that was stuff. So we we
Speaker 1: kind of we figured it out, which is cool.
Speaker 2: Now, if you asked one of the other three guys
Speaker 2: to do a print like that. Would they feel comfortable
Speaker 2: doing that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think so, but they would know they would
Speaker 1: say that's better for you. Like, you know, we we'd
Speaker 1: be in the room everything, we would just start talking
Speaker 1: like what what can you do? And if it made
Speaker 1: us laugh and you can envision somebody doing it, you
Speaker 1: know whose it was, you know. But half half the
Speaker 1: time it was like, oh, it'd be funny if Gatto
Speaker 1: was a genie. We just used them like a wrecking
Speaker 1: ball and it was like, yeah, we just painted purple
Speaker 1: and just bounce and it was just like it was
Speaker 1: one of the funnies thing they ever did, you know,
Speaker 1: But like there was. Some of them was so simple
Speaker 1: and it took a little selling. But I remember vividly
Speaker 1: we were just sitting there and we're talking about punishments
Speaker 1: because you know, we write them up. You know you're
Speaker 1: gonna get punshed across the board. You start thinking about
Speaker 1: it and eventually when time comes, you probably forgot that
Speaker 1: you were gonna do it. And we're just sitting there
Speaker 1: and I go, what if I was a massage chair?
Speaker 1: And we all just started laughing and they go, what
Speaker 1: is it? I'm like, and I was like and then
Speaker 1: and then he was like, yeah, like you're the chair.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm the chair. People send it and
Speaker 1: got a massage them and we hysterical laugh and then
Speaker 1: we write it up and we sent them the network.
Speaker 1: It says massage punishment. Joe's a massage chair, and the
Speaker 1: network calls into like what is it? And it's like
Speaker 1: Joe's massage chair and they stop laughing. They go, yeah,
Speaker 1: but what is it? He goes, now that's it. They're laughing.
Speaker 1: So they made the massage chair and I sat in
Speaker 1: a massage chair and when people sat down, my arms
Speaker 1: could come out of it and I would just start
Speaker 1: massaging people and start making the massage chair noises. So
Speaker 1: I'm just going, we're upping these people. It was so
Speaker 1: stupid and so fun. But then to get me, they
Speaker 1: flew in Byumba, the sumo wrestler at the end, and
Speaker 1: he comes and he jumps on the chair on me,
Speaker 1: and it was, oh my god, it was the worst,
Speaker 1: but it was It was really fun. But you know
Speaker 1: those are for me, or yeah, there's Biomba doing it.
Speaker 1: He just came in and I was like, get off
Speaker 1: of me, by and I started shaking him and he's wigland.
Speaker 1: It's really fun.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: But you know, you know what, you know what you
Speaker 1: could do well, you know when you're a comedian, because
Speaker 1: it's a comedy show too, right, you want the right
Speaker 1: guy doing the right thing, like you know what sal
Speaker 1: Or right, So you try to put them in their
Speaker 1: best life.
Speaker 2: So you guys would know what the punishments were before
Speaker 2: you went through it.
Speaker 1: Some of them for the most part, no, but some
Speaker 1: of them, if we thought about them, we would just
Speaker 1: like if we came up with them, be funny. We
Speaker 1: wouldn't let them know when it was happening, gotch so
Speaker 1: it'd be like, it's your punishment, but you don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. You never knew what it was what
Speaker 1: you were walking into, and then when it happened, it
Speaker 1: was like here you go.
Speaker 2: Because there's one going viral right now with faking his
Speaker 2: death for sell punishment. Obviously he didn't know about that
Speaker 2: one going on. Have you seen the clip?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, pull up, yeah, pull up, just let's falls
Speaker 1: off the car falls off the car with the stuntman replacement,
Speaker 1: and Sell looks like he's about to puke. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he thinks his friend died.
Speaker 2: So I mean that one's not your cup of tea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fifth Yeah, I mean this is a little
Speaker 1: mental trauma.
Speaker 2: For a guy like damn our boy really just yeah
Speaker 2: yeah be gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's uh. You know that looks like me
Speaker 1: at the Nutral Circus.
Speaker 2: Seems like the most squeamish of the group. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I mean he puts it on too. You know,
Speaker 1: he's pretty good, but he definitely has the most visceral reactions.
Speaker 1: Like you see him reacting. You literally, it's one of
Speaker 1: those guys you could see his skin and crawl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: And one of my favors is like Q was definitely
Speaker 1: afraid of spiders. So we were like, you know, we
Speaker 1: have to put a tarantel on you, buddy, and he's like, no,
Speaker 1: you can't, you can't. And then eventually he was like
Speaker 1: eventually he was like, you know, he's like all right,
Speaker 1: maybe all right, maybe, but he's like, but he's got
Speaker 1: I got to be able to pull it. If I can't.
Speaker 1: I was like fine, So we forget about it for
Speaker 1: a season and then we do this trantal punishment where
Speaker 1: we bring him in and we put a transfer on him.
Speaker 1: So he gets through it. He was super It was
Speaker 1: like it felt bad in the moment, but he was
Speaker 1: getting through it. And we gave him like a safety
Speaker 1: word if he said pumper nickel will be safety word,
Speaker 1: and we pull it. So he says pumpernicle, like we're
Speaker 1: just kidding, there's no word, but we could tell we
Speaker 1: got then off camera we would like all right, off camera,
Speaker 1: like you're good, you good, you got He's like, I'm good,
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm almost done. I'm almost done. And then
Speaker 1: when he said he was done, we pull it right, so,
Speaker 1: but we don't show that, you know, So then we
Speaker 1: do the same exact punishment reenacted. We do kittens with
Speaker 1: sal and he reacted worse, thank you, like he was screaming.
Speaker 2: And then we did this.
Speaker 1: We were going to bring in, you know, a big
Speaker 1: cat and put it in there with him, and it
Speaker 1: was so docile it wasn't even scary. It wasn't even
Speaker 1: scary at Salas, not just because it's sal you know,
Speaker 1: but you could literally see his skin crawl as much
Speaker 1: as cute. Yeah, you know, it's just it's crazy.
Speaker 2: Could you being afraid of kittens?
Speaker 1: Kittens?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that is the most wild probably the softest
Speaker 2: thing to be afraid.
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, yeah, maybe balloons, but there's Pennywise. Yeah, think
Speaker 1: about loves horror. Man, my daughter would love this place.
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, my daughter loves horror. She's in

Speaker 1: was younger, my best friend in next door neighbor Jason
Speaker 1: Joseph was like you like he became like a football
Speaker 1: kind of guy. But growing up we were best friends.
Speaker 1: Two biggest yards in Staten Island. All the kids in
Speaker 1: the neighborhood would come over playing the yards, hanging out,
Speaker 1: just a chain link fence between us. Right as we
Speaker 1: got older, I started doing creative writing, better at math.
Speaker 1: Jason was like better at football talking to girls, right,
Speaker 1: So all the kids ended up in his yard playing
Speaker 1: like flag football. I get these pipeworks toys for my
Speaker 1: twelfth birthday, and at first I build a sword in
Speaker 1: a shield. That was when I was into my fantasy stuff.
Speaker 1: I had just seen Willow and I started playing out
Speaker 1: this thing in my mind about like, oh, I'm battling
Speaker 1: this dragon in my head, right, and I'm just this
Speaker 1: lanky kid or buy myself in my backyard. And then
Speaker 1: you know, when you feel somebody looking at you. I
Speaker 1: look over and all of them are lined up on
Speaker 1: the fence being like, Joe, what the fuck?
Speaker 7: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: To find I explained what I was doing, right, and
Speaker 1: Jason was I was like, I'm battling this dragon and
Speaker 1: it's got this two heads, and Jason like, do you
Speaker 1: need help? And he hopped the fence and he built
Speaker 1: like a bowstaff and me and him kicked that dragon's ass.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: That whole summer, everybody came and we played adventure games.
Speaker 1: I would narrate these stories and all the kids in
Speaker 1: my neighborhood ladies. It was the best summer of my life.
Speaker 1: And that was just what we did. Like I would
Speaker 1: give everybody powers. We this whole story. I ended up
Speaker 1: writing them at the end. It was really really cool.
Speaker 2: That is to be a movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had scripts, which is funny, do you really
Speaker 1: Because always want to be a director. So that's why
Speaker 1: I got into the whole game. No ship most film directors.
Speaker 1: That's what I'll be when I grow up.
Speaker 2: Because if I obviously every kid goes to like a
Speaker 2: sword and shield face. But like in my mind, I
Speaker 2: was like, don't ever let somebody see you do this.
Speaker 2: You gotta this has got to be at night in
Speaker 2: the dark, all this out in the open chain league fence.
Speaker 2: Kids will play tackle football.
Speaker 1: You want your mom knocking on the door, like what
Speaker 1: are you doing in there? I'm just playing with my sword.
Speaker 2: And these kids just look over and they're like we
Speaker 2: got to help them out.
Speaker 1: Imagine like that, and it became like this adult thing.
Speaker 6: This happens down the road from our house in like
Speaker 6: that big field.
Speaker 2: Right, we gotta go it every week. And I got it.
Speaker 1: It looks so great man. And what a community, right,
Speaker 1: what a fun one thing to be a part of. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so it's weird a little. Let's be honest, if
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk a certain way. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I could get into it like that, but I think
Speaker 1: I might be able to. I think in larpening, if
Speaker 1: I come down to it, I think me and my
Speaker 1: heards are LARPing it up and do.
Speaker 2: If we had a group of boys like this and
Speaker 2: we all like dressed up, I would have no problem
Speaker 2: buying into something like this. Yeah, and just knowing who
Speaker 2: they just knowing what your roles are. Who's the king
Speaker 2: around here? We'll got what he's saying. It is like
Speaker 2: get them after him.
Speaker 1: Like you imagine you showed up with these guys.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it would be awesome that because everyone plays
Speaker 2: like video games like that, like you've ever played Skyroom,
Speaker 2: those kinds of types of games. It's like, this is
Speaker 2: we're just bringing it to real life.
Speaker 1: It's cool because it's also a community is built around it.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: I love when like minded people find stuff together. That's
Speaker 1: my favorite part about it. Even like live events, concerts, comedy,
Speaker 1: like you know, like when you go and you're in
Speaker 1: a room. I have people come to the shows all
Speaker 1: the time that don't know anybody. I love that they
Speaker 1: come to like I don't know anybody here, Like I
Speaker 1: meet them to meet and greeting. I'm like, could you
Speaker 1: come with by myself? And I was like, I love
Speaker 1: that because that is you have the confidence to be
Speaker 1: around like like I go to like I go to
Speaker 1: movies by myself. I go to like I love that stuff.
Speaker 2: Movie go into a movie by yourself and breakfast on
Speaker 2: like a Saturday morning by yourself. It's kind of an
Speaker 2: all time movie.
Speaker 1: A cup of coffee by yourself, Like and I love
Speaker 1: that stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah is God. I had a question, Jude. I wanted
Speaker 2: to ask, how sick is it?
Speaker 6: Because you seem like a big perspective guy, But how
Speaker 6: sick is it looking back knowing that you've ultimately gotten
Speaker 6: to be yourself make a living from it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 6: the fame, all that, all that stuff is great, but
Speaker 6: just knowing that you got to be you. Yeah, that's
Speaker 6: how cool is that.
Speaker 1: I was so happy that I didn't like end up
Speaker 1: on a show where you had to play a character, right,
Speaker 1: because you just get to be show yourself and then
Speaker 1: get accepted by this crazy fandom just by being you.
Speaker 1: And then as people get into you a little bit
Speaker 1: more and stuff like and you find out like it's
Speaker 1: so cool that people could talk to you could talk
Speaker 1: to your fans like Instagram, messaging, right, comic cons all
Speaker 1: this stuff, Like you have that accessibility and I'll hear
Speaker 1: stories all the time about people being bullied and whatever.
Speaker 1: And that's like when I start doing anti bullying work,
Speaker 1: it was like I was like that too. I was
Speaker 1: like going, And then you realize you're that for people
Speaker 1: and that changes your whole perspective like that, Like in
Speaker 1: the beginning, you're like, oh, this is so cool, I'm
Speaker 1: on TV. But then when you realize what you are
Speaker 1: for people, family, what Laughter does because the network played
Speaker 1: in hospitals, prisons, like this is where it was. I
Speaker 1: got a flat tire in that Like last year, Guy
Speaker 1: shows up twelve thirty, gets out huge, dude tatted up,
Speaker 1: comes out of He's like, oh my god, Joe I'm like,
Speaker 1: hey's like, I just got out of prison five months ago.
Speaker 1: You got me through it. Could I have a hug?
Speaker 2: That's amazing.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, then, thank god because you're very
Speaker 1: scario this dark alley broken down and broken down, you know,
Speaker 1: so like it was so cool to be like that.
Speaker 1: But then you realize that you're at hospitals and people
Speaker 1: are just going through these things of like people are
Speaker 1: finding you out there lowis for a reason to laugh,
Speaker 1: going through chemo, doing whatever. All this stuff you hear
Speaker 1: and it's like, wow, you don't even think that right
Speaker 1: when you're like, I'm just making my friends laugh. And
Speaker 1: then you realize that, and then you realize you have
Speaker 1: a family, you have a legacy. It's like all that
Speaker 1: stuff comes into perspective and you just get to be you.
Speaker 6: That's so cool because it's like you were pushing the
Speaker 6: you know, the the uh the baby toys, yeah, the
Speaker 6: baby gear. It's like people are in these you know,
Speaker 6: this this rat race of the corporate world and all
Speaker 6: the bureaucracy that comes within everything else. But you've ended
Speaker 6: up finding a lane to ultimately like beat you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's super cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 2: you seeing a.
Speaker 1: Lot of times it's tough because people will be like,
Speaker 1: because you're Joe, right, so on TV they're like Joe like,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, this guy's a fan, right, so
Speaker 1: I'd like there he is like, I don't know where
Speaker 1: I know you from yet I'd like, hey, I'm like

Speaker 1: Like it's so fun. And then you see people again
Speaker 1: and again because you're they're fans, and the fans you
Speaker 1: recognize some and they come into your fold and whatnot.
Speaker 1: But you know, a lot of times people like it's
Speaker 1: like I never say nice to meet you. I always
Speaker 1: say good to see you, because.
Speaker 7: You learn it.
Speaker 1: They're like, if you met somebody before, to them, meeting
Speaker 1: you is a big thing. But you know, you meet
Speaker 1: so many people being in the public eye. Sure you
Speaker 1: guys know, Like it's when fans of your stuff see you,
Speaker 1: it's like, nice to meet you is very hard to
Speaker 1: like we met before, And I hate that moment.
Speaker 6: It's and they go, they go a step further and say,
Speaker 6: do you remember do you remember?
Speaker 2: I was thinking to myself, you we just have a
Speaker 2: good time together right now, let's just say good to see.
Speaker 1: Where where do I Where do you know me from?
Speaker 1: I'm like, clearly I don't, So what do you want
Speaker 1: to talk about it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fans. Fans are awesome having all that, there's
Speaker 2: always like the one or two that like because you
Speaker 2: always try to make them have a good time with you. Sure,
Speaker 2: and you want to feel like, hey, you're one of
Speaker 2: the boys right now, But then they take it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you don't want you don't want them
Speaker 1: to mess it up either. Yeah, you know, because you
Speaker 1: like I grew up like I didn't get famous like
Speaker 1: until thirty four I was not on TV till I
Speaker 1: was thirty four. So I grew up a fan of
Speaker 1: people like I was a famous So you understand it
Speaker 1: from that side, Like when you get into limelight later
Speaker 1: in the years, you realize that you have that fandom
Speaker 1: has a special place in your heart because you are
Speaker 1: a fan of people like we worked with Vince Vaughn,
Speaker 1: and I'm a huge Vince Vaughn fan, right, And I
Speaker 1: remember when I met him for the first time. We
Speaker 1: were playing the Nashville Comedy Festival, you know, seven or
Speaker 1: eight years ago, and we're here in Nashville, right, and
Speaker 1: he uh, he comes in there. I get in the
Speaker 1: elevator with him, and we were there for him, like
Speaker 1: you knew who we were. He's with Steve Burne and
Speaker 1: he goes, hey, he goes he goes, oh, Steve's hey, Joe,
Speaker 1: how are you I looking at this? See He's like
Speaker 1: this Vince something. I didn't say anything. The door shut.
Speaker 1: We got out the elevator. I was like, and the
Speaker 1: doors were shut, and I went by and he shut
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 2: Was like, what am I doing?
Speaker 1: I was like, I just shipped the bed on meeting Vince,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So it's such a weird thing.
Speaker 1: Then thankfully I met him again. We became friends, but
Speaker 1: it was like such a weird thing that as a
Speaker 1: fan you still choke up.
Speaker 6: Dude, Steve Burne is so his network. He we got
Speaker 6: in events where we were at the Notre Dame game.
Speaker 6: It was Notre Dame Ohio State and we were fired up.
Speaker 6: I get I forget how Steve knew that we were
Speaker 6: all there together. We texted him, yeah, yeah, we were
Speaker 6: in Texas, Steve, and he goes, hey, here's his number,
Speaker 6: just text him.
Speaker 2: He'll know.
Speaker 6: And Taylor and I are like, are you are you
Speaker 6: sure this is okay? Because one thing in the same thing,
Speaker 6: like wedding crashes, all of it right, massive vinsvon fans.
Speaker 2: And he was so fucking cool.
Speaker 6: We were on the sideline watching the football game talking
Speaker 6: about what play you should run and yeah, it's it was.
Speaker 2: It was all time. Man. He's very much himself. Like
Speaker 2: you talk about being Joe and playing Joe. I feel
Speaker 2: like Evince for so many years I played himself because
Speaker 2: you met him in the personality of the back of the.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess that, and the other it was like
Speaker 6: he looks over Tom Osmoreman never won this, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 6: does he know I played for Nebraska's He's just kind
Speaker 6: of saying, like a historic head coach, I have no clue,
Speaker 6: but this is the sickest moment of.
Speaker 1: My life, right right, I remember he is very endearing
Speaker 1: because it's so funny because he's so big. He's such
Speaker 1: a big guy. He has such a big presence. But
Speaker 1: when you talk to Vince, he's just like very endearing.
Speaker 1: Like when you talk to him, he's him like you
Speaker 1: feel like it, and he'd like I feel like he's
Speaker 1: just like he could be super intimidating, right, He's like
Speaker 1: so big, so loud, but he just knows how to
Speaker 1: do it. And Steve's the best Steve just I mean,
Speaker 1: I've been friends with Steve ten years. We do our
Speaker 1: podcast together, you know, Too Cool Moms, and he's, uh,
Speaker 1: he's just so great to like know because he's always
Speaker 1: like loves to connect people, he loves He's such a
Speaker 1: good dude.
Speaker 2: And he did a great job with his uh like
Speaker 2: late show I directed that's so did you really directed
Speaker 2: a special?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Awesome? I think it's so last was so good.
Speaker 1: He it's such a good moment that he's such just
Speaker 1: so funny, so fast and just a great dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you were getting into comedy, did you feel
Speaker 2: like there were a lot of clicks involved. Was it
Speaker 2: kind of tough at first for you at all?
Speaker 1: I feel yeah, not really. I mean comedy, stand up
Speaker 1: comedy especially could get I feel like this is a
Speaker 1: very nice place now because people are very accepting of
Speaker 1: the format, love it, you know whatever, and people are
Speaker 1: doing a thing. But I feel like it's very it's
Speaker 1: different because it's like Late Night's putting your work in.
Speaker 1: It's hard and it's hard to find your voice and
Speaker 1: hard to build it. But everybody has their own process
Speaker 1: to get there, you know, which is which is cool.
Speaker 1: But to get to meet all these people inside of
Speaker 1: it and know them to be fans and be fans
Speaker 1: of them, like that's really fun. Yeah, to do that,
Speaker 1: but it's it's definitely its own thing. I took Steve
Speaker 1: with me during my first show we Get Appleton on purpose,
Speaker 1: I did Joe gazenad of comedy. Steve was with me
Speaker 1: and I was like, because I respect him as a
Speaker 1: stand up, I know he's good, and I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, Steve, come with me and if it sucks.
Speaker 1: You gotta jump on stage and help me out whatever.
Speaker 1: So we go. He goes up, I brought him. I
Speaker 1: brought Marca Guardgigan, another comic who's on tour with me now,
Speaker 1: and I do my I do thirty five minutes the
Speaker 1: first time. I'm up, and I come back in the
Speaker 1: green room and he's sipping a scotch. I go, how
Speaker 1: was it? And he goes, fuck you. He goes, I've
Speaker 1: been doing this for years. You're update your a naturally
Speaker 1: I hate you. And so he was like, it's like,
Speaker 1: it's like it's good. He's like, it's good man. You
Speaker 1: just got to figure out what you're going to talk
Speaker 1: about up there. Yeah, help me build that. So that
Speaker 1: first year with Steve, he'd become on the road with
Speaker 1: me a lot. He was a super great mentor, just
Speaker 1: somebody who knows what they're doing. So it's really helped
Speaker 1: you become comfortable.
Speaker 2: You know, that's awesome. Yeah, do you how do you
Speaker 2: find your and watching so many other comedians that already
Speaker 2: found their voice and you love it and you're like,
Speaker 2: oh man, I'm a fan of what they're doing. How
Speaker 2: do you not take a little bit of it and
Speaker 2: use it for yourself.
Speaker 1: I figured the best thing to do is just be
Speaker 1: me on stage and I'm not try to be delivering jokes.
Speaker 1: And I found out quickly I'm a storyteller. I love
Speaker 1: telling the story and people really enjoy that part of it.
Speaker 1: So I just was like, Okay, what stories am I
Speaker 1: going to tell? How do they connect? And then how
Speaker 1: can I make them as funny as they could be?
Speaker 1: And that became my process with it. So that's what
Speaker 1: I really enjoy I grew up. I mean, I'm forty
Speaker 1: eight this point. I've had a very storied life. I've
Speaker 1: been through a lot of stuff. I've got lots to
Speaker 1: talk about, which is really cool. So that's what I do.
Speaker 1: But I don't shy away from the fact that people
Speaker 1: know me. You know, they know me from TV. I'm Joe,
Speaker 1: So if you liked me on TV, you're probably gonna
Speaker 1: like hearing me just talk up there and tell you
Speaker 1: more about me and stories. I just feel like it's
Speaker 1: it's important if you're having fun and people watching you
Speaker 1: have fun, it's impossible for them not to. I've always
Speaker 1: just enjoyed that if you're enjoying what you're doing up there,
Speaker 1: like me and the guys when we were on stage,
Speaker 1: we're just having fun. You can't sit in there and
Speaker 1: be like this is terrible, Like you're having fun with people.
Speaker 1: I wanted to make it an event, especially now when
Speaker 1: life sucks so hard for people, like, get out there,
Speaker 1: have some fun, have some lass. Forget about the bullshit.
Speaker 1: I'm not if they're talking about politics or bullshit whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about you know, how this fact hit
Speaker 1: from Staten Island found his way. You know, I think
Speaker 1: it's important in the backyard, Yeah.
Speaker 2: No doubt. Did you ever like when you were leaving
Speaker 2: in Practical Jokers, we were like, Okay, I want people
Speaker 2: to know me for comedy now instead of in Practical Jokers.
Speaker 2: Did you ever struggle with that at all?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 2: Great question? All right, well.
Speaker 1: No, I think that's important though, because people like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is my identity now, my identity is Joe like
Speaker 1: it or not. This is me, right, So let's get
Speaker 1: out there and laugh together. And that's why I say, like,
Speaker 1: I go on my special, I comment on every I
Speaker 1: respond to every comment. I'm messing with people on YouTube,
Speaker 1: every comment I go to, and it's me responding because
Speaker 1: it's like, if people are like oh this, stay in
Speaker 1: your lane. This isn't for you. I'll write back, thanks
Speaker 1: for giving it the shot. Be well, you didn't like it.
Speaker 1: Comedy's one hundred percent subjective. If you didn't like this night,
Speaker 1: it's fine, you know, but it's clearly my lane I'm doing,
Speaker 1: you know, are around the theater, tour around the country
Speaker 1: like you know, if you didn't like it, it's fine.
Speaker 1: I don't take offense to that, but I am If
Speaker 1: you take me and put that on TV, like, it's
Speaker 1: going to be the same uy, same voice, same thing.
Speaker 1: I know who I am, right, I didn't want to
Speaker 1: try to discover myself as a stand up. Of course,
Speaker 1: there's different aspects you have to think about, you know,
Speaker 1: and do different things, but I still want to keep
Speaker 1: the core right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you find it hard to kind of? Uh?
Speaker 2: Because stand up?
Speaker 6: I know you got to be on the road a lot,
Speaker 6: but balancing the family time and everything else.
Speaker 1: It's honestly easier, a lot easier. I mean, I'm working
Speaker 1: ten days in October, you know, I'm on the road
Speaker 1: ten days.
Speaker 2: Some people are on the road.
Speaker 1: I'm on the road a lot, But people don't understand
Speaker 1: the balance of it, you know, because I'm there for
Speaker 1: what I consider the important stuff. I'm there to drop
Speaker 1: them off at school, help with homework after the day.
Speaker 1: During the week, the weekends they're normally busy anyway, they
Speaker 1: got played eights birthday parties bullshit, Like during the week
Speaker 1: is when you know, that's when the missus needs to help.
Speaker 1: That's when it's more important. IM there for family dinners,
Speaker 1: talking about their day, helping them if they had something
Speaker 1: in school that went wrong. I think that's the part
Speaker 1: of it that's good. And you're in charge of it,
Speaker 1: you know. It's like, I'm not going to go on
Speaker 1: these are the weekends I can go. I'm going to
Speaker 1: be here for their birthday. You know, when we toured
Speaker 1: for the first year, I didn't even realize that I
Speaker 1: missed my wife's first Mother's Day because it wasn't even
Speaker 1: in my mind. And we booked a tour so far
Speaker 1: out and it was the first Mother's Day and my
Speaker 1: daughter's first birthday. I both was booked for both of them,
Speaker 1: and it was like, what a fucking And in hindsight,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you fucking dummy, Like what you're doing, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's so but you and it's so much you're
Speaker 1: so much in it and then you just start going.
Speaker 1: And I tell the story about my daughter. It was
Speaker 1: just before COVID. She's five years old. I come home.
Speaker 1: I was on tour with the boys, I was at
Speaker 1: work whatever, and she was so excited to see me,
Speaker 1: and she ran up and goes, Daddy, I love when
Speaker 1: you come to visit. And I'm like, oh, that's hysterical
Speaker 1: and hurts so bad. Yeah, So I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta there's a balance thing going on here, you know.
Speaker 2: No doubt, it's so hard to find, as fecially as
Speaker 2: they get older. It is.
Speaker 1: I think the big thing that I've taken away from
Speaker 1: it is there's no such thing as balance. It's focus.
Speaker 1: It's like you're focusing your energy here. Everything is always
Speaker 1: swirling around you. But you got to take that five
Speaker 1: minutes to build legos, to hang out, or take your
Speaker 1: car and beer on the racetrack. You know, whatever it made,
Speaker 1: but you need to take those times. Like my son says, Dad,
Speaker 1: can we play. I'll stop whatever I'm doing for five
Speaker 1: minutes and play with him because that five minutes will
Speaker 1: be for him and that'll be his favorite part of
Speaker 1: the day. And I'll find that five minutes somewhere else,
Speaker 1: I'll stay up. Five minutes later, I'll do whatever.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: So for the most part, you try to do what
Speaker 1: you can then focus on what you need. I think
Speaker 1: that's the biggest takeaway for Dad's in entertainment. It's really
Speaker 1: a hard thing, and I think you know, you know,
Speaker 1: especially it really is taxing on you to be I
Speaker 1: think people are getting it, but it's really really hard
Speaker 1: to balance all that stuff, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with that because it's more of like
Speaker 6: you understand what your priorities are, how you kind of
Speaker 6: want to build your life, and it also helps you Okay,
Speaker 6: these are the things I want to focus on and
Speaker 6: put my energy into, and I kind of have everything
Speaker 6: scheduled out now. Ultimately, this gives me the reason to
Speaker 6: say no to everything else because I would be somebody
Speaker 6: who enjoys like saying yes, like okay, maybe I can
Speaker 6: do that always at least say maybe. But I feel
Speaker 6: like I've learned since rus came into the world that
Speaker 6: like I've learned what to say no to. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 6: I know I want to do busting, I know I
Speaker 6: want to do family time. Everything else I can basically
Speaker 6: just say no to unless it's something that would be
Speaker 6: you know, pivotal for or the show or.
Speaker 2: For the family.
Speaker 6: It kind of like helps you deviate from like all right,
Speaker 6: I can say no.
Speaker 1: To you look at it through a different lens, Like
Speaker 1: I just wrote, I wrote a kid's book, right, but
Speaker 1: where's Barry? It's my new kids books, I guess when
Speaker 1: you guys copies is great. So it's a story about
Speaker 1: my son and it's he's animated in it as a cartoon.
Speaker 1: My dog's Pomoni is in it.
Speaker 2: Like it's so like so we don't even touched on
Speaker 2: the dog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just been saying here telling a story and
Speaker 1: just stroking much evil.
Speaker 2: It's exactly.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's like to be able to do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my son and Ppomoni right there, like animated in
Speaker 1: the book, you know. But to see your kid be
Speaker 1: like that, and that's part of your thing, like you
Speaker 1: you get to be able to do those kind of
Speaker 1: things now, which is totally different. Like years ago when
Speaker 1: I was selling kids books, I was like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be one of these one day. It wasn't even
Speaker 1: in your like lens, you know, But it's a it's
Speaker 1: fun to do that stuff and celebrate the parenthood and
Speaker 1: make a part of your person.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know, definitely need that book. Yeah I got
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's great, but at home. It's available now to purchase.
Speaker 1: Where's Barry check it out?
Speaker 2: No doubt you guys want to hit some teer talk.
Speaker 2: I would love to hit some tear talk. So I'll
Speaker 2: break down tier talk for you. I'm sure you watch
Speaker 2: the show all the time, but I'll just do it
Speaker 2: for the fans that are watching the.
Speaker 1: First a lot of first time. I bring up the
Speaker 1: star star power guys.
Speaker 2: So there's going there's gonna be a category at least
Speaker 2: ten people. We'll go through the category and you'll start
Speaker 2: at your tier three, so your third best, you're gonna
Speaker 2: paint a picture for us, Tier two, and then finally
Speaker 2: Tier one, your favorite.
Speaker 1: Got it?
Speaker 2: Now, there's always the outlier. Maybe we all agree on
Speaker 2: one thing and that becomes a god teer. I don't
Speaker 2: think we'll find that today, but that's just just to
Speaker 2: put in there. Once you're finished seeing your tier talk,
Speaker 2: we will go around the bus. One will give one
Speaker 2: word to express how they feel about your tier talk. Okay,
Speaker 2: so that's that's what we have. So the tears today
Speaker 2: is spend the night pranks? I do like I like
Speaker 2: the night pranks. Yeah, night pranks on friends or activities
Speaker 2: with friends. That's what it is. Okay, So we can
Speaker 2: take a couple of minutes think for a second.
Speaker 6: I'd like to go second or third. I'll just throw
Speaker 6: that in. I'll just throw that in the universe. I
Speaker 6: know two I have for sure. I just got to
Speaker 6: figure out what.
Speaker 1: When friends pranks?
Speaker 7: Got it?
Speaker 1: Okay? So things that you would do as a group.
Speaker 2: Yes, as a group. Do you have your standard?
Speaker 1: I have two, so I need three.
Speaker 2: You need three? Tier talk you're tier three, your tier two,
Speaker 2: you're tier one. I got them.
Speaker 6: My tier three. And I hate to admit I never
Speaker 6: had the balls to go through it and do it.
Speaker 6: But when your boys you start prank calling, when it
Speaker 6: was just a landlines back in the day and you
Speaker 6: had whatever numbers you wanted to do, Hey, i'll call
Speaker 6: my uncle here. We can get them with this. I
Speaker 6: never had the balls to be the one on the phone.
Speaker 6: We always had like we always had a Joe that
Speaker 6: was with us that was shameless and he would do it.
Speaker 6: I feel like doing the prank calls and when you
Speaker 6: get somebody and they have no fucking clue and they
Speaker 6: start calling friends and figure out who it is. I
Speaker 6: love that little like giddy feeling as a kid sitting
Speaker 6: around spending the night with your boys. My Tier two
Speaker 6: is gonna be ding dung ditching. When you first learn
Speaker 6: you get your license, you want to just get into
Speaker 6: some you want to get into some stuff with the boys,
Speaker 6: and you drive around, you ding dong ditch.
Speaker 2: You go and sprint, You're sprinting to the car. Come on,
Speaker 2: we gotta go, We gotta go.
Speaker 6: That escape plan is all time. My tier one, which
Speaker 6: I love the most, and it's it's so important for
Speaker 6: spootober but te peing throwing toilet paper in your friend's yard.
Speaker 6: My mom, she would drive the getaway van. We'd be
Speaker 6: at Walmart. You know, you have the jokes like somebody's
Speaker 6: got an upset stomach at the house, like buying all
Speaker 6: these rolls of toilet paper to throw them in the van.
Speaker 6: With this red mini van, she would drive and me
Speaker 6: and my boys we'd go in tpe. You know, whoever's
Speaker 6: not in the crew, you go in tpe their house
Speaker 6: or rolls of toilet paper everywhere. My mom actually set
Speaker 6: us up one time where we go. We went to
Speaker 6: one of like her friend's house, and we knew it
Speaker 6: was also her friend's house, but she had a son
Speaker 6: that we wanted to get and so we start tepeeing
Speaker 6: their yard and somebody had a chainsaw in the garage
Speaker 6: and somebody was ripping a four wheeler around the other side.
Speaker 6: But somebody started screaming, rips the foil around, were like,
Speaker 6: we gotta go, we gotta go to where we start
Speaker 6: exiting toward to We're just where the garage was. Somebody
Speaker 6: comes screaming out of the garage with the chainsaw. We
Speaker 6: are losing our minds, sprinting away. My mom's in there laughing.
Speaker 6: You realize there's a whole setup. But teping is by
Speaker 6: far and away my Tier one. Okay, that concludes my
Speaker 6: tier talk.
Speaker 2: Great classics, solid.
Speaker 12: Edgy, tradition, nostalgic, schocking, relatable.
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, for sure, solid.
Speaker 2: Do you want to go next? Ye with me to go?
Speaker 1: I have two of mine. I can probably go.
Speaker 2: You want to go, Okay, I'll go, I'll go. So
Speaker 2: my Tier three is very Arizona specific, and here's why.
Speaker 2: During spoo October, always on the thirty on the thirtieth
Speaker 2: of October was kind of known to everybody as mischief nights.
Speaker 2: When you go out you do the all those types
Speaker 2: of things. Yes, so every once in a while in Arizona,
Speaker 2: unless you have all the money in the world, everybody
Speaker 2: has rocks as they're like landscaping. They don't have grass.
Speaker 2: And what we would do is if a rain was
Speaker 2: ever to come, we would take fruit roll ups and
Speaker 2: we put it on their rocks, and when the rain
Speaker 2: would come, the die would die everybody's rocks on their landscaping.
Speaker 2: And now I know it's kind of nasty. It's a
Speaker 2: nasty thing to do, but that that's why it's My
Speaker 2: Tier three came up two times Shadow Angel the Court.
Speaker 2: He's a kid that we happened to get one year.
Speaker 2: I feel really bad. His parents were really mem My
Speaker 2: tier two. My Tier two is going to go to
Speaker 2: the classic warm bowl of water to the heaviest.
Speaker 1: Sleeper finger in the bowl kind of thing finger in
Speaker 1: the bowl, you.
Speaker 2: Put it in there.
Speaker 6: They wet themselves and the boys got because they knew
Speaker 6: I had a bed wedding problem.
Speaker 2: Like I got got on that one. You got on that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I peed the ben tells like fourteen.
Speaker 2: Oh nice, Yeah, I was never found one.
Speaker 1: I love there man.
Speaker 6: Childhood and you're just up in the middle of night,
Speaker 6: stuffing in a bag, trying to get rid of all
Speaker 6: the evidence and then blame it on the dog.
Speaker 2: Terrifying.
Speaker 1: Do you have a stand up in pe By accident?
Speaker 2: That's my tier too, Yeah, yeah, you're my tier one
Speaker 2: is going to go to the t ping. It's getting
Speaker 2: getting some people is great, But to me, high school
Speaker 2: te ping was all about getting that girl. You liked,
Speaker 2: the Alex mac Sudy and you go over there, you
Speaker 2: find her house, and all the boys gonna say who
Speaker 2: we're gonna get, and you want to somehow.
Speaker 6: Put it in there.
Speaker 2: Hey, would you get Alex? No one really knows you
Speaker 2: like her, but you want to get her. And once
Speaker 2: you get all the boys to dive in, throw it
Speaker 2: over the trees, over the house and everything like that.
Speaker 2: It's just a it's a fun easy it's it's it's
Speaker 2: a fun thing that's innocent. It's a nice little deal.
Speaker 6: I would come back from college at Nebraska and still
Speaker 6: get the same crew boys and we tp some Yeah,
Speaker 6: if we if we happen to have a bye weekend
Speaker 6: I'd go home and we'd rally up the troops and.
Speaker 2: Go TP and love TP. I did have a couple more,
Speaker 2: but they were kind of dude. Yeah, there's like.
Speaker 6: People would do forks in the ground, plastic forks on
Speaker 6: like a cold night, and then they'd be stuck in
Speaker 6: the ground. They would egg your car and throw flower
Speaker 6: on top of it. Like people would do some crazy.
Speaker 2: Crazy because the egging was always it was a bad deal. Yeah.
Speaker 2: We would this kid name what was his name, Anthony,
Speaker 2: Anthony Romano. We called them maggot because he was so short,
Speaker 2: and he would take wire.
Speaker 1: Called magot because yeah, yeah, yeah, don't.
Speaker 2: We would take a wire on this busy street and
Speaker 2: we put it across like at like a four foot
Speaker 2: five foot level and cars would go drive by and
Speaker 2: would scrape their entire car all the way through.
Speaker 13: Oh my gosh, that diabolical.
Speaker 4: Yeah, devious, deceptive, unique, dangerous.
Speaker 2: Fun hyphenated fruit by the foot.
Speaker 1: The I.
Speaker 2: Didn't know the fourth thing.
Speaker 1: The fourth thing, Yeah that's cool. I uh so I
Speaker 1: have to put the prank call is tier three. But
Speaker 1: we even used to do it next all. I used
Speaker 1: to call up when we were on the bus on
Speaker 1: tour we would just kill time and I would call
Speaker 1: up a zoom Practical Jokers assistant Antoine, and I would
Speaker 1: call a place and be like, yes, we want to
Speaker 1: come in to eat here. I have the Impractical Jokers.
Speaker 1: They'll have my ass if we don't get a corner table.
Speaker 1: Do you have a corner table available? It'd be like
Speaker 1: a Chili's and they're like, it was so bony, and
Speaker 1: we would set up this whole thing and do that.
Speaker 1: So that's my number three for two. Three Tier two
Speaker 1: for me is the thing we used to do a lot.
Speaker 1: It was called You'd have to get a group of guys.
Speaker 1: We used to do it and it was a Perkins
Speaker 1: by me. I don't know if you know. Perkins's like
Speaker 1: yeah breakfast, yeah, breakfast, but yeah, it was twenty four
Speaker 1: hour and sat Island or late night whatever. And we
Speaker 1: used to do this in Goal. We work here, and
Speaker 1: when it always be so busy that there'd always be
Speaker 1: a chance that the host stand would be open, so
Speaker 1: one of us would work as the hostand and we
Speaker 1: would see people and then somebody would come over and
Speaker 1: take their order as another friend would come over at
Speaker 1: the waiter to take that on. These people would think
Speaker 1: they're being helped, and we would just like leave and
Speaker 1: wait looking through the window and I'd you're waiting to
Speaker 1: complain about their food and we would just sit there
Speaker 1: with like we never took your order like that was
Speaker 1: really fun.
Speaker 2: We used to do.
Speaker 1: We work here at Perkins, but then we take.
Speaker 6: Their order and go and sit next to the start
Speaker 6: eating your.
Speaker 1: We would just sit and wait and then wait watch
Speaker 1: them go start going because some of our friends would
Speaker 1: be inside. That didn't work there, right, Yeah, we used
Speaker 1: to go to group like four or five guys and
Speaker 1: then they would just wait looking through the window and
Speaker 1: we just hear the people going crazy, and that was
Speaker 1: really fun. But my favorite thing we always did, and
Speaker 1: it worked its way into the show, was just up
Speaker 1: your ass and to the left. So whenever anybody asked
Speaker 1: you with something someplaces, do you know, excuse me, do
Speaker 1: you know how I get the center? Parkie? It's up
Speaker 1: your ass to the left up over here, and you
Speaker 1: have to say that to them, looking them in the face.
Speaker 1: And it made We did it for decades. And then
Speaker 1: on the show, I'm in the park doing a petition
Speaker 1: thing or whatever, and somebody walks up to me and
Speaker 1: goes excuse me, do you know where the bathrooms are?
Speaker 1: And in my ear, I go, you got up your
Speaker 1: and I go, yeah, it's up your ass to the
Speaker 1: left yet And it became a thing. We montaged it
Speaker 1: on the show. We did it one million times on
Speaker 1: the show, so whenever anybody asked us anything. But if
Speaker 1: you don't realize, because if you just look at them
Speaker 1: in point, they're like, oh thank you, and they say
Speaker 1: thank you and walk away. It's crazy.

Speaker 1: the same towns and we were both in like I

Speaker 1: done Canada, which was cool, and then we did as jokers,
Speaker 1: we did London, which was great.
Speaker 6: Twice we did it over there and then the island
Speaker 6: reaches that many people. Because you're probably thinking, all right, yeah,
Speaker 6: let's go international.
Speaker 1: You might be thinking, we went to do a London episode.
Speaker 1: Everybody knew us more than New York. It was insane.
Speaker 6: We could barely is anybody even gonna know us over there?
Speaker 1: It's crazy because we we aired on Comedy Central there,
Speaker 1: but they picked it up in the fourth season and
Speaker 1: every Monday for two and a half years it was
Speaker 1: a new episode. So imagine you have a brand new
Speaker 1: show that you love and every Monday for two and
Speaker 1: a half years is a new episode. So it caught
Speaker 1: fire like nothing over there with like the fucking Beatles.
Speaker 2: That's awest.

Speaker 6: would you like to read it?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll read it all right. Our Twisted question this week.
Speaker 7: You have to sneak into a highly secured museum to
Speaker 7: steal a diamond. What's your disguise slash character you're playing?
Speaker 7: And who would you recruit to be a part of
Speaker 7: your heist?
Speaker 2: If you can recruit anybody, or is it like three
Speaker 2: people or something.
Speaker 7: Like that, let's do it. Let's do a squad of
Speaker 7: four people, so you and three other guys, and.
Speaker 2: It could be people we only people we know, or
Speaker 2: could be.
Speaker 7: Anybody anybody let's do anybody Okay, all.
Speaker 6: Right, I think I think whoever I'm gonna have just
Speaker 6: calling the shots, he's gonna be Nicholas Cage. I think
Speaker 6: you have to have Nicholas is a script though, but
Speaker 6: you're the director. Maybe you're the directory. I think you
Speaker 6: gotta have Nicholas Cage. I don't know who my fourth
Speaker 6: one would be, but I know another one would be
Speaker 6: Owen Wilson from Night at the Museum. You put them
Speaker 6: in your pocket. Whether I'm a janitor and I get in,
Speaker 6: I let him out to go like sneak out find
Speaker 6: the diamond. But you have little Owen Wilson running around,
Speaker 6: you know, running around the museum. Okay, but that would
Speaker 6: I know, I have two for sure. Do you guys
Speaker 6: have any anybody else?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I absolutely do. I would obviously be a security guard.
Speaker 2: I think that's the easiest thing for me to disguise
Speaker 2: as I would have a person calling the shots. George
Speaker 2: Clooney oceans smart, very smart. He's gonna know everything everything.
Speaker 2: And what do you do with George Clooney You put
Speaker 2: his right hand next to him. Got to have Brad
Speaker 2: Pitt with them, for sure. And then finally, who's going
Speaker 2: to go down the zip line to make sure everything
Speaker 2: goes according to planning when they can get themselves in
Speaker 2: a pinch figure it all out, Tom Cruise, I thought
Speaker 2: you were gonna say kill possible was crazy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's my three for me.
Speaker 1: I gotta get Lucy Low in the mix, Okay. I
Speaker 1: feel like she's easy on the eyes and it's a
Speaker 1: bad and yeah, especially that reason. Yeah, I think that
Speaker 1: Elon Musk has got to be in there because he's
Speaker 1: gonna throw some serious money behind it. Some ship. I
Speaker 1: can't take the diamond you have it. I would be philanthropists,
Speaker 1: would be my disguise, someone who's very regal, and I
Speaker 1: would need to have my personal security with me the rock,
Speaker 1: and I think that would be exactly. That would be
Speaker 1: my good crew as if ship goes down you need
Speaker 1: them to do some stuff or you know, I think
Speaker 1: it will work.
Speaker 2: You understood this assignment one sure, and I've done it.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 6: It is my addition to the roster, Tom Cruise. Christ
Speaker 6: you had him in there, Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 1: If you bring if you bring Matt Damon as the
Speaker 1: character born, then for sure that's another good one. But
Speaker 1: se but I feel like Tom Cruise does his own stunts,
Speaker 1: so he's gonna be able to pull it off. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be able to throw him down a garbage, you know,
Speaker 1: disposal of something.
Speaker 2: He's the elevator. The elevator scene in the first movie
Speaker 2: threw me off so bad. It was the first of
Speaker 2: the third the first. That elevator scene fucked me up.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. Yeah, mission impossible. When Tom's outside
Speaker 2: the guy gets squished. Yeah, that really messed me up.
Speaker 1: Do you take elevators just stairs there, strictly stairs.
Speaker 2: I'm all elevators all the time, even if it's a
Speaker 2: one floor. Got to give her right next to it.
Speaker 2: All the waits too much, too much, too much. Lucy
Speaker 2: loves a good pull.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
