It's been a busy day. We haven't even normally, a little behind the curtain, normally we record this first thing in the morning, and then we set it to our editors and they do their thing and you get to see it later in the afternoon. It's, you know, it's now the afternoon, and we're just getting around to shooting this. Not because we're lazy.

No, no, because we've been working with clients. all morning. Clients in dialing in lighting. We are, I would say every day at this point, we are tinkering with audio, video lighting. We're just trying to get us dialed in so that we look so beautiful. One day we'll be happy with it. Maybe. Probably not. You're right. You're right. Who knows? Wild time. We had a great weekend. Dude, what a weekend. What a comedy-filled weekend for both of us. Right. You and I, we kind of like we were dispatched to different parts of the state. It was like that. And it was like, go to con. Comedy shows.

You guys go to Utica. I'll go to the Ithaca area. It was awesome, man. As we talked about, as we promoted, as we made that great commercial back by the dumpster there. Oh, yeah. You didn't see that. It's on our TikTok. Ryan Neemiller from America's Got Talent came to Utica into the Burstone.

Which was, by the way, really nice. That was the first time I've ever actually been to the Burstown Inn. It looked great. Beautiful place. Great room. Sold out. It filled it. Yeah.

completely full, great lineup of some great local comedians, Phil who you met here, Will Phillips, Josh Wilbert, the local guys that absolutely killed it and opened up for the National Act, a gentleman that you also saw on Good News York, Ryan E. Miller. Yeah. And he killed, man.

Yeah, I'm sure. It was a great time. And then that was Friday night. And then Saturday night. Saturday, I had a show. You were the funny man. I was a funny man. It was myself and Karen Rontowski, who hopefully we're going to have on

soon. She's just amazing. From Utica, moved to L.A. Now she's back in Utica, but she's very unique because she's a stand-up and she's hilarious. But part of her act is she actually makes a living reading tarot cards too. But she incorporates the tarot cards into her act.

Really? When she comes on, we're going to do that for sure. So she like makes fun of you when the card comes up and says you're going to die or something? You know what? Yes. But she legit says, like that one's not good. Yeah. She says, you know, all right, let's open it up.

And she'll, like, anyone raise their hand? Usually people are nervous at first, but once the first person goes, then it's like, she can't get them to stop. And she's like, she makes like a couple rules. Like, don't ask me if you're going to die. Like, when you're going to die. Yeah.

But people ask like, am I going to. It's a real downer at a comedy show. It really is. But Thursday, actually. Yeah. They, they, they, but they'll ask like, am I going to have a career change or I'm trying to sell my house? Will I sell it this year?

Like, stuff like that. And she answers that. I mean, she's very funny while doing it. Sure. But it's a legit read. It's cool. So she headlined, actually, and I featured, but we sold out a new venue called the Corner Brew in Dried in New York, which is right outside of Ithaca. And, yeah, we sold it out.

You know, it was awesome. It was great. Awesome, dude. Sunday. Sunday. Colin Jost of S&L came to Barton Hall at Cornell University in Ithaca. And my wife and I and some friends, couples, we went and saw them. And it was great.

They had Mikey Longfellow from S&L opened up, and then another woman from S&L that was on it for two years, from 22 to 24. Can't remember her name. She opened. I felt bad because as a comedian, when you watch other comedians, that was a tough gig.

I mean, we were in Barton Hall, an old airplane hanger, and anyone that knows anything about comedy, it doesn't matter how funny you are. It's never as funny in an arena as it would be in a smaller room. It's science at this point. Sure.

There's even big names like Chris Rock and Kevin Hart, you name it, that are doing arenas and stadiums, and they'll even tell you they prefer to do small clubs. Because it's intimate. You can see facial expressions. So they had a tough time starting out. I mean, they did good. But they didn't bomb, but it was like pulling teeth for them.

But like I said, it wasn't really their fault. It was kind of just the setup of it. But it was a great show. That's awesome, man. Yeah, it was a good weekend. That's awesome. We got a lot of fun things planned on Good News York this week. We got some cool guests coming in.

I think it's going to be a great time. We've got kind of a list of things to talk about. I'm going to be honest, though. Like, I'm fucking starving. Dude, I am, you know what? I'm legit starving. Like, we don't ever talk about it. Fuck it.

Let's just go to lunch. Come on, I'm buying. All right. I will not say no to that. This was a much better idea than set at the studio and doing the show. Because we can do the show here. That's the beauty of our man Danny and his, you know, Inspector Gadget. Inspector Danny.

Jacket full of goodies that he just opened. He's like, what do you need? You need cameras, mics, gimbles. You need a fish lens? What a microphone? Candy is ready to go. So we slass on that. This is a brilliant idea.

The lapels. Yeah, yeah. I feel like you're just saying that because I'm buying your lunch, but... Mostly. I'll take it. No, it's a fantastic idea. I never thought. It's actually a bad, I mean, it's a great idea, but now I'm going to find myself in the middle of

of Bidney's York being like, and, you know, I was going to be like, hey, Matt, I forgot my lunch today. Any chance you want to, you know. Yeah. So we're at the hop spot. Yeah. Downtown Syracuse on Walton Street. Like it.

This, spoiler alert, they didn't like sponsor this or anything like this. That would be cool if they did, wink, wink. But this is the place I typically bring the guys, the team, when we want to get lunch during the workday. And the reason is it's just phenomenal. Yeah. And they got good, comfortable seats and great food you're going to see in a few minutes some their classic famous Poutine.

Had to get some of that. And duck wings? They've been duck wings. Quack. It's all the rage these days. You ever had them? I haven't. I was just texting this to my life.

for some reason there's this little cross-connection in my brain. It makes no sense, okay? If it's a cow, a pig, a turkey, or a chicken, I'm good. Anything outside of that, I'm like, it freaks me out, man. Like the thought of eating a duck. Really? Why isn't the thought of eating a cow freak me? Not like a pheasant.

Yeah, it freaks me out. You grew up and hurt them. How about medicine? You eat deer? No, I've eaten. I've done it. I've done it. I've done it. Is that there I've survived? I've ate deer, and it's got that gamey taste.

And then so as soon as I think about a deer, like it freaks me out. Like, ugh. You don't know like a rodent, right? Well, that made it worse. It's like food, you know, it's like the food cycle. We have to eat them. No, I know, I know. I used to be against hunting.

Like, I always thought if you hunt, that's fine. Like, I'm not against that. Sure. But personally, it's not your thing. I was like, I enjoy the art of hunting. Like I've loved the little bit? No. I love the art of it.

Okay. But here's where I get hung up. I think about like, what if I shoot a deer? And then I start going, what if that deer was on his way home from work? He's got to provide for his little deer family. Right? And I just shot him and killed him in cold blood. I mean, we don't even know what happens when Bambi's mother got taken down.

Oh, man. Lain and get me going on that. It was all downhill from there. You ever had crocodile? God, no. Alligator. I could have. A few months ago, I went to Florida, the panhandle, and it was on the menu.

And I'm all about trying what's new in the air. I can't do it. Absolutely not. They had gator nuggets many years ago at some restaurant down at Florida, and I'm one of those folks that, like, how can you not? Right. And they're breaded and fried. Now eat almost anything if you bread and fry it. Yeah.

And what did it taste like? You know, it wasn't pet. It was a little chewier chicken. I don't know. It was okay. It's everyone's going on. It was like chicken. I mean, you know.

Is it? It's just a whole, not really dominant, strong flavor of anything, really. I wasn't, I stopped being against personally hunting when I hit a deer like five different times and I destroyed the front of my goddamn car. And I was like, you know what? Kill them.

Kill them all. Because they're completely overpopulated. And if you don't do, essentially when you hunt, you're actually helping. You're helping. It is a population control thing. Population control. So I feel a little better about it.

But yeah, I don't know what it is. I can't step out of that chicken, turkey cow. But you got no problem with a cow. Not at all. What about veal? Eat baby cow? No. Absolutely.

It's a baby. It's a baby. It's shattered. I understand. Which means it died young. It's a reasonable objection. If you're eating veal, that means it was a, it died too early. I don't celebrate that.

I mean, to be fair, it's whole life. Life is made to be a tender dinner. They don't even let it move around or anything. They have big game dinners you can go to. Yeah. The right kind of people. That sounds like some kind of creepy cabal type of shit that I want to know part of it. It's kind of like Indiana Jones where they're eating.

I feel like that's like the next step in their hunting man, you know? Have you ever seen the movie surviving the game? I don't think I... Ice tea. But now. I was just talking about this. That's a movie that is so underrated. The premise is ice tea goes out with all these hunters

On this hunting trip I forget how he gets involved He's not a hunting He's like, yeah, I'll go away No But they go to this cabin in the middle of nowhere And they have this big dinner the night before And that's where they break the news

Oh we forgot to tell you You're the one we're hunting We're going to give you two hour head start To get yourself out of here And if... I feel like that's the plot of dozens of movies Right Well, they say there's only like a hundred different plots to movies that are retold in different ways.

Yeah, I can see that. No, it's true. It's like a thing in screen. You're listening to a podcast right now. Driving, working out, walking the dog.

What's your favorite type? Stuff. Actually, I just talk about this to Danny. I love movies that are clearly fiction, but who's really? to say it can't really happen like a walking dead okay so well like a you know

like an apocalyptic or like a sci-fi sort of thing you're thinking well I see I'm not big sci-fi I'm not against sci-fi not like not like wizards and like crazy but just like oh man sort of plausible yeah end the world type of yeah or not even end of the world just like I'm trying to think of another one at the top of my head um where you're just like yeah it's clearly fake but zombie land but Again, I'm using the zombie reference. It's not about zombies. The government has a plan for zombies.

Yeah. Sure they do. Just saying. Surviving the game. I'm sure that got cut and thrown out. Who's to say I can't get invited on a hunting trip? And then they're like, guess what? You're going to be the hunted tomorrow.

So when you wake up, you got two hours to head start to get out of here or we're going to kill you. That is obviously made up. But who's to say that I'm coming to hunt? That's what I meet. Those are my fans. So if I had to pick one of these, I don't know if you call it a genre or a plot, or a stripped style, whatever we want to call us to you. I really like party movies.

Sure. Like, you know, going all the way back to, well, can't hardly wait. When we were kids, that was a great high school party movie. Would you consider American Pie, I think, is in that range. American Pie, too, isn't quite a party movie. That's talking about. Animal House is the original, you know. It is the party.

It's just the fun, good times. Just nonstop laps. You know? Not too serious, right. Having a good time. Project X was probably one of the more modern. Never saw it, but I remember that one. That's a great Netflix if you, you know, you need something to put on.

It's a good party movie. There's an 80s movie that is like a summer beach party movie. That, look, I'll be surprised if you know. John Cusack's in it. Hey, Bobcat Goldthwaite is in it. Summer school? Close. One crazy summer it's called.

Okay. Phenomenal. Just such a good movie. It's centered around the summer that they spend on this ocean, like, you know, ocean-type vacation spot. That's great. And they just, all this shit happens. It's good. Yeah. You got checking out. I like it.

You know, we started talking about previously all the shit that you haven't watched. Right here we are. And now see, it's, now I think about it every day, because I go to reference something. I'm like, but he don't get it. You know? I'm not too. It's like our buddy Abel, who, you know, English is his second language. I'm like, he doesn't get that joke.

He didn't live in this country then. Right. I just, I got to remember that, you know. But I've seen a lot of TV. I've got to limit my repertoire for you. I've seen a lot of TV film. It's just the everything you've asked if I've seen it. What's, if you had to make a list of, we'll say, five TV shows that you think people should absolutely watch that you've seen all of.

What would they be? Oh, Jesus. Breaking Bad. Okay. The office. Okay. I'll see, here, before you... All right, actually, I'll let you get to the list.

Oh, those look great. Those look phenomenal. Thank you. And I'm just picturing daffy dog. So, well, this bill behind is there. So I was, okay, office, breaking bad. Sun's of Anarchy. Okay.

But now I'm thinking too recent. I've got to go back. Now, see, here's a funny story. I haven't seen two out of the three so far. There you go. See? And then I would say... They're not classic comedies. They are. I feel a lot of people would beat me up for not seeing a knowledge. And you're talking regular television, too, like back in the day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You see anything comes to mind. Classic. Something you might quote. Friends. All right. Love friends. Everybody's seen friends. Well, I've seen friends. I think it was required watching back in the middle. We were kids. We only got three channels, so we sort of had to watch Friends. I don't even know if this makes it on my top five, but I got to say it.

The show Taxi was so geniusly written and the cast of Taxi, if you go and look at that cast and see what they all went on to do, it's amazing that they had. We only caught that one in random reruns. Right. You know, very underage. Danny DeVito, Tony Danza, Christopher Lloyd. I would throw that. I don't know if it's in my top five, but I mean, you get out to check that out. I have two more.

I'm on another gun right now. What two? Hmm. Well, you say what you were gonna say when you were gonna interrupt, I'm all on the take- No, I was just gonna say that those two, like Sun's Anarchy and Breaking Bad. I've only seen random episodes of. Breaking Bad is probably the greatest show I've ever seen. I always never been more hooked on a show.

Lots and lots and lots of people say that. And I'll be honest, I watched only a couple episodes. If you weren't hooked at the jump, but it did not like that. Then you might, it might not. And that's okay. Yeah. I see lots of random scenes on TikTok that sucked me in. It looked really cool.

Which honestly, you got to give these platforms credit. That's how I started watching Yellowstone. Because I watched that one scene in a TikTok video, and suddenly I'm watching the whole fucking show. And I don't necessarily even like that show, to be completely honest with that. I watched the whole fucking thing. They had a lot of great parts. I sort of hated the main characters.

And I don't know why I continue going. If you hate the main characters. Right? Probably not gonna be a good show. I don't know. Yeah. But anyway, we got some food here. So we are at the hop spot in downtown Syracuse.

These are their duck wicks. I've had them a few times. Spoiler alert, this isn't gonna be like a surprise. Mike's not sure if he could bring himself to eat a duck. And yes, it has nothing to do with this restaurant. You had a pet duck when he was a child. I understand. I have Affleck as my Enchant Company.

I... So by the way, this is the maple, uh, custom maple barbecue. It looks so... you sauce. For those of you that didn't hear what I said earlier, I, for some reason, there's a mental block, like, as long as it's a cow, a pig, turkey, or chicken, I'm in, but anything else freaks me out. So should I do my first ever outside? Yeah, you got to go for it. Yeah. All right. Okay. Watch it down a little yucous club. All right. All right, here it is. It's just a chicken one. It's just a chicken one. But better. But what? What? You know, all these pops. Like, all, all,

I think. That is... That is goddamn spectacular. The sauce is phenomenal, too. The sauce is... It's like a maple wing sauce. But here's the thing. Everybody judges wings on the sauce.

I get it. That's important. I judge the quality of the white. I like breaded. A little crispy. You don't have this almost taste like. How do you say, duck? Cleet supper.

Like when you get sweet and sour chicken in a Chinese restaurant. The sauce definitely has that. I don't know it sucks. Danny has got to film this. We can stop and he can eat some anytime. I did it. I fucking did it.

See? You're a big boy now. I have big boys. She's this. Was that place by the pipe of wild? I did it. I didn't believe it. I can do both.

Hot. I'm terrible. I think of those other two videos. R-R-R-R-L. TV series. So, that's that go. Sick. Actually, but I'm just like you know. I know there's gonna be like 100 on my way home than I think of.

They're all I see. There's so many have seen. Have you had them before? Yeah. They're out of this world. So good. Um, two other shows. Eat can be.

Two hours. Okay, so I was also gonna hit him. His animated coat. Seth. Family guy. Yeah, yeah. And The Simpsons. Talk.

He was so... Too neat. For animated. Yeah. It's all right back in here to stir. How many seasons of the Simpsons does someone have to watch? See, that's... Well...

Well... The... The tough part about that is... Yes. There were so many abs and flows through the years. Here's the reason I ask. What are you, Mike? I stopped watching the Simpsons probably.

15 years ago. I stopped about five. And I still make The Simpsons references than most people get. How about all the shit they predicted? Can you listen? So like, what I'm saying is, I feel like OG Simpsons

is and will always be the best. And you're really more. You know? So, how did they predict all that stuff? I mean, is it lucky? I mean, I complain about conspiracy theorists all the things. I can't stand it.

I feel like that's half the time. why we're in the shit we're in is because we're all creating this. But my God, they have hardcore proof. Have you ever seen... They wrote it before it happened. Have you ever seen the South Park episode where they make fun of the Simpsons? No. Simpsons did it.

Sepsons did it. That's the whole running bit. Everything they try to do, they want to do something different than the Simpsons. Every time they do it, somebody's, oh, Simpsons did it. My point is, when you have millions of episodes, you literally write every possibility in the universe. That's the best answer I've ever heard. for that question.

That is the best answer I've actually ever heard for that question. Okay. I bet you couldn't find nearly as many, but if you tried hard, you could go to a show like Cheers that had hundreds and hundreds episodes and find a couple things that they randomly said in the 80s that happened to be reality today, which was my theory. I like it. That being said, the Simpson ones are sometimes really, really good. Dead on, man.

Really dead on. Really dead on. Scary dead on. I know I'm missing a show that I'm gonna kick myself in the ass for not venturing. So many I've seen, except for all the ones that you woppy sit. Ha! Oh, do you. And nice.

Since we're continuously rolling, I don't have to worry about being quick about him. I'm still sitting here and I... Do you want another one, buddy? You want to go all in? You can eat both his legs? I'm going to start. I'm going to start. He both his legs.

Wow, well, here's his dick. You're listening to a podcast right now. Driving, working out, walking the dog. If you're into podcasts, chances are you have something to say too.

Not that one. One of the things I love about this place is they have ice cold Utica Club on tap. Dude, you got to... Anytime I go somewhere in Syracuse, I get Utica Club midst... There's two things that your server will do if you order a Utica Club, they'll either go, hell yeah, or...

Really? There's no in between. Not in Syracuse. Not in Syracuse. No. I've been in this building before it was whatever this is called. There was something else before that. I've been very drunk in here, I think.

Yeah. And there's a hallway that leads you to another bar on the other side of the street. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah. There's a place in... They get mad when you bring their barware from one to the other, though.

I don't remember where this is. there is a place downtown in some city where all the bars are connected by door like you can just go bar to bar. Really? Yeah, and I'm talking like 20. Where is this? That's what I mean?

I don't remember where I find. What is this mythical place? It's in the United States and all that. I think it's down the south. I'm leaning towards like either Louisiana or Texas. Maybe Florida? I don't know. It's wild.

I'm still thinking about one more show. Hold up. How about movies? Give me movies. See, here's the thing of movies. I'm so big into comedy. It's hard for me to do both. I usually do comedies.

Just give me a list of must-see or your most quoted comedy movies. Dumb and Dumber. Okay. Anchorman. Okay. A dog. Step brother.

Stepbrothers is up there. Stepbrothers is damn good. Any Jim Carrey. I mean, I was obsessed with you. Really? That's my idol. What's his best? Dumb and dumber.

Okay. Dumb and dumb. It is phenomenal. I think, see that as a co-star, though. Like, it was a great pair. That was a buddy film, yeah. I'm just, I'm thinking about what I think of him. I think like Ace Ventura.

Ace Ventura. That's how I got into it. Anything beats that. There's a perfect example of what I was talking about earlier. The Truman Show. Obviously fictitious. That's probably the best example. But who's to say we're not all living in it?

You know what I mean? Those are the... That's like a legit scientific theory that we live in a simulation. Yeah. So I got to go, yeah. So I'm got to go dumb and dumber, Anchorman. Man.

We'll say stepbrothers. Sure. Why not? I know I'm missing some old ones up. I love Jane Silent Bob Strike Back, honestly. Wow. Thank you so much. Sweet.

Pretty plate. Thank you very much. Looks awesome. Just ketchup and mustard? Oh, yep. That'll be it. Awesome. That's all right, so we're here at the hopspot.

I got the Big Lobowski Poutine, which is progis and fries and cheese curds and gravy and all kinds of stuff that's going to make my heart stop what'd you get buddy i got i built my own burger i got the gluten-free bun i'm boring look at me but i've got lettuce tomato onion pickle jalapenos oh and pepper jack cheese a little side-sop what are you cooking with dany i got the dirty bird the dirty bird they call it the dirty place Oh, the sandwich is the dirty bird. Gotcha. Chicken, jalapeno, ranch, pickles.

It's pretty good. Which is crazy because that was your nickname in high school. It's a dirty bird. Oh, I thought it was pickles. That's right. All right, let's eat. Let's dig in. Yep.

That's good. All right, so I got fry parogi and sour cream in one by here. Yeah. That's good. Good. Yep. That's the way to do it. Yeah. This is delicious.

It's why I ate gluten in the bunce. You need that gluten, hold it together. You didn't even know what a gluten is. I think that's a... Do you see that movie? A slur. This is the end? No. Go figure. I have it.

Probably one of the funniest movies I'd seen in a theater in a long time. This is the added to literally one of those ones where like the whole place was rolling the whole time It's the Seth Rogen and all James Frank oh yeah was the end of the world yeah, oh yeah I saw that's a great movie Michael Serra was the best pair yeah I just love that scene with arguing about the gluten This is yeah you don't even know what gluten is right thank you everything it pans the gluten um said why bad even

another comedy I was up there Tommy Boy Oh That is one of the best Ever And another underrated movie You ever seen that thing you do I don't know why I love that movie

So did he I think one of the best Underrated movies From the 90s in Webb Is Go That movie Go Exciting Remind me

It had... What's her name? I'm blanking on her name all of a sudden now. I had it in my head too. The chick, she married Tom Cruise. Oh. I'm not sure enough of her love, you. No.

Similar look, though. Last... Anyway, they work in a place and they sell... They're going to a rave, and they get some fake pills to sell, and they think the cops are coming after them. It's a whole thing. No, it's a great movie.

You gotta watch it. Okay. A lot of people you'd recognize. Oh. You know, there's certain movies that, if you were like, hey, on lecture. Someone just came from the past. They were unfrozen or something, and you're like, I've never seen a 90s movie. Tell me what movie, like, what represents the 90s?

Whole fiction. That's a great answer. Empire Records. The Empire Records is my favorite movie at all time. Dazed and Confused. Dazed and Confused is very high up there as well. That's not really a... It's about the 70s, so I don't know if I would...

Call it a classic night. You know what I mean? But... Dazed and Confused. I watched that. Solo. Multiple times a year still. I'm glad you like... I want to live in that, man.

Your days and confused? Me too. Yeah, I just... Every time I watch it, I think. I want to be there in the 70s. I want to go to that party. Me too. The one out and then with all the... Just fucking chill.

At where they're on the entire area, yeah, yeah, yeah. So funny you say that I... Party at the Moon Tower. And that's... And I want to get paddled by Matthew McConaughey. Soon. You're a tough. All right, all right, all right.

All right. That was improv. That's where it came from. To this day, it's his most classic line. After people don't even know where it fucking came from. You ever hear that joke? Yeah. How do you get to Matthew McConaughey's house?

All right, so, all right. Rites all rights. For dad, Joe. Ooh. Ladies, I treat it. Can you stuff? Stand by me, I mentioned. See, you get it.

Does not get the credit it nearly deserves. Dude, why, you're not quite. I feel like that's a grandma movie. No. Here's one. I want to talk about a grandma movie? You can make fun of me. Okay.

Nope. Fried green tomatoes. All right. One of my favorite movies ever. Love it. I feel like it's... I don't think I saw it since it was current... 20 years ago.

Phenomenal. Tides. It's my gosh. Forrest Gump has been on one of the channels lately. And it's such a fucking classic movie. My favorite of all time, I think. It's also so long that no matter what point it's on when you flip it on the TV,

you just... I'll watch it for about a half hour and go on with your day. When I was growing up, I just thought Forrest was like a really original guy who clearly didn't have all the lights on. White, I didn't. Starting to realize now with all the awareness, was he autistic? Is that what that is? Don't worry, we can edit the South. I genuinely can't tell if he's joking or not. No, I'm not asking.

It's kind of like me. Is it like me? He has had trans. I don't know. I just thought this. Song was up a whole forest. You ran the earth

you get a boat, buddy? That's howl. You ask the bow. It's... Go. See it. Greenbow, Alabama. Salk to me.

Thanks. Dude had to figure it out. And it's a... Heather. Ain't that? Yeah. Are your guys' opinions on Adam Sandlin? Um, I love him.

I love... The administration of the... Which one are? I... Terracount. I love S&L. He said... ...and late 90s, early 2000,

Sandler movies. You know? After that, still a fan, always will support, but... Thank you. Just a lot of oversaturation of okay movies. I feel like that's a good way to describe it. You know what I mean? Like I don't hate his movies. I like him, but at the same, yeah.

So like back in the day, I was thinking about this the other day. Don't ask me why. I think I saw a TikTok video. Of him like just go to a deli or some shit. And people are like, oh my god, it's Adam Sanden. Like what would you do? My thought, I don't know if I could play this at school. My thought is I wouldn't make a big deal or even necessarily acknowledge that I knew who he was. That ever.

But I quote one of the most obscure. fucking references from him that I could think of. Please do. And I'm thinking like, you know, if he walked in here right now, I might have to go with some old, like, comedy album stuff, like some, some, like, the go. Forget the movies.

You might go. Come closer, I can not see you. That's where I, you know. You know? Whoa. Do I want to go with you to the ragu back to the law? I want to stand on the fucking... The ragu.

Yeah. See, that's... Adam Sandwich two comedy albums are probably 65% of the reason I even started doing comedy. My neighbor's dog. They were huge influence on me. Yeah. Fatty Arbuckle. Yeah. The buffoon.

All right. Come on. The goat, obviously. If you don't know that, look at all. Such great stuff. That was my thought. Movies-wise, I agree with you, too, though. The old ones, there's some classic. Yeah, Billy Madison. It's always a classic. Billy Madison. I'll even throw deeds in there. Mr. Deeds I enjoy. No, it's good one. You know, but right after that, it's just started, and it's not that they were

bad. It's because I haven't even seen most of them. It's just the same movie. It's just over saturation. Same cast, all his buddies and I, which is great. Like, hats off to him. Like, he's he could never do anything ever again. And he's like, well, yeah. I'll just make the same movie over, don't forget. So my

buddies can have a good paycheck. Yeah. And I respect that. Hats off to him, you know. But like Jim Carrey, he's like another one of my idols, he might not have as many movies as similar, but everyone that he's been and for the most part, it's been absolutely quality. Yeah, but he's even want to work anymore. You said, like, I'm not doing anything. Need to. Sam, Sandler's got his whole, like,

almost a sudden reminds me at Howard Sturt a little bit. He's like, I wouldn't mind retiring, but then what the fuck all these guys do? Ooh, you know? Private Parts, another one of my favorite movies. That's a fantastic. That's a great movie.

Great. Um, yeah, Sandler's, Samar's amazing. You should tell people that private parts is a documentary, so they're watching the school. Walmart. That's smart?

Oh, love it. You know, man on the moon, Andy Kaufman's story. That was the first time I had ever watched a movie where the actor played the character so perfect that I actually forgot it was Jim Carrey halfway through and had to go, oh my God, that's Jim Carrey. That's not Andy Kaufman. How am you supposed to say that. He was, well, if you watch, there's actually a documentary. Isn't the running thing that Andy Kaufman never died and he's just, here we go, conspiracies. Cosmplaying is some other person right now.

But there's also a theory that, you know, fucking Elvis and Whitney Houston are on an island with Tupac somewhere. I mean, come on. When's somebody going to do that? Like, for real. Take their death? Yeah. It's been harder and harder. Come back a decade later.

There's a thing going on in Syracuse right now. There is. Where they're saying, you can look it up at Syracuse.com, they're saying that more than a theory, and they may have proof that Jim Morrison is not only alive, but he's been living in Syracuse under the name Frank. So the fact that they have a first name, means me to believe they have a last name, right?

I mean, right? If somebody has this, Frank Morrison, if it is, That is a mildly legitimate theory. Anyhow? They have more than just Frank. And they know who this person is, right? You can't say he's living as, without knowing who this Frank is.

So where is this supposed, fake Jim Morrison or real Jim Morrison? Yeah, we haven't done a bit on it yet because we're still exploring those details. I mean, he was in that Wayne's World movie after his death. He was? Oh, right, right, right. Yeah.

I mean, didn't I hear you? They think he was like a maintenance man or janitor. That's what he's been doing. I'm just like, if you're Jimmy Morrison and you're going to fake your death and go to Syracuse, New York, it would be frank. That's the job you're going to... I guess it's unassuming. So what happened in Joe Dirk.

Tuts the lotion out. Talking to my friend all wrong. It's the wrong tone. Do it again. Stebbing your face with a soldering iron. This... God, I look for a little. He's so great.

That's the full one. Remember he was in witness protection and he was a fucking janitor? Mm-hmm. Could happen. You're all right. Could be what Frank is up to. Can be what Frank is up to. Yeah, what if we're gonna explain.

What if he's a janitor at a local school and he secretly taught some kids how to play guitar? That's what we need? Oh, we got to find his kids. What if it becomes a hallmark movie? Oh, great. That'll suck. I came to find out that, did old Frank, the janitor? Actually Jim Moore.

David. Show me the way to the next whiskey bar. He actually... Privately trained Post Malone when he was a kid here in Syracuse. Yeah. I believe that. And that's why we have Posty is because Jim Morrison is secretly living in Syracuse. I mean, maybe.

I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Ain't nobody proved it wrong. I've never been anywhere. where there's a bar called, you know, a whiskey bar. Al's wine and whiskey bar. Show me the way to the next. Whiskey bar, I know.

My favorite bars in the world. I don't want to stretch out this Monday. When I go, day drinking, no, you don't drink. I don't drink. They smoke it. You can drive. Sure. It's still fun.

Danny and I'll get less no longer before dinner time. How about that? There you go. It's good. You guys can hold the camera. You're what the Gimbles for. You're not drunk. Look all straight in the video is.

Never know. That's a great tool. I really ate that fast. Then again, I mean, yours is, it's a large plate. I got 80,000 calories I'm trying to consume my hair, Mike. I get 79,000. That's a cat. I love me some progis.

I got to eat anything with pierogies. No? and, you know, french fries and gravy. Going over the border surfers and trench rising... Hey, how's your dirty bird? So good. Yeah? It looked like...

Looks fun. Any fun for? 10. Anything with pickles. Pickles are all the rage. Dude. There was a time now long ago where I was eating a jar of pickles of meek. Slummel.

It's a little bit. That's good, I do. Vlassic, though. It's gotta be Vlasic for me. Lassick or nothing. You really, uh, laid a woken of that salad, huh? Oh, that was... I gotta want no fucking salad.

I don't know fucking real man. Like a bitch. My burger. Without my gluten. What about a libtard? Can't eat gluten. It might give me gas. Yeah.

The thing is, I'm... I'm gluten-sensitive or... maybe even gluten allergic. I still, it doesn't make, it not enough to be sick over it. Just maybe a little nauseous and my stomach just, like I could eat a crumb. It has gluten

in and all of a sudden my stomach goes like, look, I'm pregnant. It's my problem. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. You all said? I'm all sad. I'm still picking a little bit, but thank you very much.

Take the eye, too. Sure. Like you. Thank you. I don't want to see a dessert meal. No. desserts, fellas, no? Thank you.

Do you want another Pepsi? No, I'm good. Thank you so much. Good. Thank you, though. When I'm at home, though, I have to eat chocolate right after I eat a meal. What? Yeah.

Sweet tooth, baby. Oreos are my go-to. Yeah, I'll be. Regular Oreos or double stuff? Preferably double? No. All right. You have not lived until you have dunked your Oreos in,

sipping coffee. Dude, you can look at me sideways all you want. You try it and you call me after. And if you're able to speak, because you have my ears of so large, I'll be very surprised. I don't even like Duncan.

Dunkin'am and milk is weird to me. Stimlish. I don't want a soggy cookie. Coffee? Guy that'll eat duck wings, but he won't eat. I don't know, it's a soggy cookie. That's the texture. Oh, you're, oh, see, my wife's a texture.

Tourcing. It's weird. I don't like celery in my tuna fish, not because I don't like celery because I don't like something crunchy with something soft. I'll eat a gravy covered soggy fry. Don't want my Oreos that way. That's fair. I feel like soggy Oreas have gone stale. Hot.

In coffee, it's very fast, too, because it's hot. So you just quick dunk. It's all you need. In milk, there's a very specific time frame to get the perfect. But you would know. Now, see, I can understand why it would be good with coffee. I mean, it's really just more. of a same type of being you know well sure it comes from it just I can see it

enhancing it's coffee flavored candies I've had before it could be really good thing is it doesn't even give it a coffee feel like just I don't even look at it does so it's just like it's like a thousand angels saying try these oh we go we're here at the hop spot the hop spot okay I built my own burger and got a side salad and if I was I'm gonna rate it, I would give it a solid seven out of ten. Okay. Give it a seven out of ten.

And part of that's my fault. I got the gluten-free bonner. I was gonna say, see, when you say build your own, you're really responsible with that score yourself. That's correct. I had the Poutine, the Big Lobowski Poutine. You ever seen that movie? Oh, hell yes.

Alright, see. Fucking hate the Eagles, man. Phenomenal. Great movie? It was great. I'm full. I haven't exploded, which is a positive. Yeah, I'm glad.

Because I'm very nice. to eat more of this. Absolutely. Yeah. And I'm a sucker for exposed brick because this is all exposed. It is. It's gorgeous here. It's real. Yeah. All right. We have fun. Peace out.
