Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, KFC Radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Oh, no! No! Yes! It's another edition of KFC Radio on the Barstool Sports Network. Feidelberg got a sore throat calling in from Zoom. I'm here in studio. If you guys aren't sick yet, I got you sick Monday.
Starting point is 00:00:47 So you're getting sick. Just so we're clear. Son of a bitch. I feel great. I feel so bad. It's actually kind of nice. This will be the highest I talk the whole episode. Because if I talk any louder, my tonsil pops into my mouth.
Starting point is 00:01:05 I'm going to pick a fight with you so I can just yell over you now. Yeah, you'd be happy. You'd be more welcome. It's going to be a very soothing episode. I don't know if we can call it that given some of the subject matter today, but I said this on Kevin Clancy's
Starting point is 00:01:20 show. There was a time where it was like, should we talk about this does should barstool cover this and now i think it's like unequivocally yes we've been doing this for so long and whether or not it's you know we're goofy we're funny we're weird but we've been doing this kind of shit for 10 years now and so we talk about everything why wouldn't we talk about this and while you know maybe we don't have all the statistics or the most educated on on uh on the topic and politics or whatever
Starting point is 00:01:51 this shit is not even political this is common goddamn sense and i i don't know about you the weirdest shit for me yesterday was like i saw it and then saw that it was an elementary school and realized like, oh, wait a minute, this is one of the bad ones. And then like the internet wasn't talking about it. And I, I sadly and embarrassingly went about my day and not until, uh, I got a text message last night. If you listen to the podcast earlier, it, it, it kind of jarred me. Um, someone was complaining that
Starting point is 00:02:26 i was selling shirts that said sleep when you're dead which wasn't true i'm selling shirts that said sleep when you're tired but they were like you have a platform and you should use it and i kind of was like i don't get down with all the platform shit use your platform however you want to use it but my point being it did kind of like snap me out of it, and I was like, yeah, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. I've been complaining about the Mets and talking about whatever when we just had one of the real bad ones. And I hate to, this one's worse than this one, and that one wasn't so bad, and this one was a small one,
Starting point is 00:03:00 and this one's a big one. But when the truly heartbreaking and disastrous happens usually there's some reaction and it's coming around today but yesterday i don't know man there was not a lot i didn't see a lot not a thing i i i with you i saw i don't even know if i hesitated scrolling which is like you know i saw like gunman at elementary school like active shooter elementary school and it was actually way before anything happened like yeah like it was it was i honestly i want to say it was like three hours before the next report i think it must have been when like he had that first like shootout with the police officers um and um and it didn't get traction at all. So I just scrolled by it.
Starting point is 00:03:46 And then when I saw the real reports, I thought about it more, obviously. But very much like you, I didn't think about changing anything. But I don't feel bad. I'm angry about that. And I hate that I am. But it's not my fault. No, I wouldn't. I'm not being – I don't think that's what you're saying or anything,
Starting point is 00:04:10 but in my own head, I'm like, you're not a bad person. You're just like you're what society has made you. You see all those tweets that are like, don't let this become the normal. Don't become numb to this. Too late. It honestly is. I think it's been – we've been desensitized, and I also think it's too late
Starting point is 00:04:26 to fix i don't rationally see a way that this stops i just don't i like the people the politicians who want to stop it uh will never be allowed to make it to a level where they could stop it because the nra and the big gun lobbyists and the money and the power are all in bed together. And all the politicians who even might want to fix it, at the end of the day, they want to get elected more than anything.
Starting point is 00:04:55 And they'll tell themselves, well, I gotta get elected first before I can do anything, so let me play ball with them and let me do what I gotta do. And then it's too late. Then you're in bed with them. It's sad and i just don't even get how it works but like all these other countries just did it and i don't it's it's it's crazy they just did it somebody just fucking signed it into into, into action, whatever they do, prime minister, president, whoever, whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:29 They just did it, and we just won't do it, and I just don't ever have hope that they will. I hope another generation has more stick-to-itiveness than I do, or than it seems like you do as well
Starting point is 00:05:46 where it's like, I don't have faith in anybody. I don't have faith in the system. I don't have faith that anything will change. This is my life. And it's not my life. I have not been directly affected by this. But you know what? But like, what's, it might be.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Yeah. It's one of these things that like, I, it's not crazy anymore, and it hasn't been for a long time. But, you know, I – I had already forgotten about the 10 people who were shot by like a – It didn't even happen. I'd forgotten about that.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Which is so sickening and sad. That was what, last week? Yeah. It was like 10 days ago. I totally forgot about that. And like it's – it is not far-fetched that it could happen to you and and you know what that's the one thing and i hate to say it but until some politician's kid gets slaughtered nobody's doing shit and i and honestly even if it did happen
Starting point is 00:06:44 i think that that one politician would try and the rest of the guys would rally against him because they need their political careers to thrive and they need their money and their power but until i guess that's what i don't i just don't understand and like you know we're always very open that we're two people who don't understand what we're talking about basically ever um but like it is a very popular platform so why can't politicians like it's something like 70 some odd percent of americans want common sense control yeah and like so if 70 that's a lot of the vote that's most of the vote if that can't if that can't get you to do it what will possibly that's what i mean that's where the system is
Starting point is 00:07:25 broken it's not democracy and it's not power by the people it's it's nra and money and lobbyists and like i i truly believe that before a politician if you came out and said i am against this i will stop this and you had power i think you end up with a bullet in your head before you end up the president i genuinely believe that they would do whatever it takes to stop that person and i think it would be more likely like political you know dark shadowy uh lobbying like that that that uh that candidate would be slandered that candidate would be dropping out of the race for a different reason. I just don't think they'll ever let it happen to the point that they actually
Starting point is 00:08:11 could enact change. I think maybe it just takes a generation of like whoever runs the NRA to be from our generation and maybe have a little bit of understanding but those people don't young, old, rich, poor whatever, if you are a gun nut you're a gun nut and there will never be any bending
Starting point is 00:08:35 but I used to the thing that's crazy for me is the arguments are dead, they're done there was a time in the beginning of the internet and the beginning of social media where the the people saying well why don't we ban cars and knives people like took that as a real argument and now and like those things are how about how about how about fine i'll meet you in the middle let's fucking regulate guns and and shit the same way we regulate cars
Starting point is 00:09:06 that's all we're asking for that's all we're fucking if you hunt and you're safe and you are in law enforcement and all that shit you can have a gun you have to take a test you have to have regular checkups it can't be of a certain type of gun certain ammo ammo. We'll do all that. Okay. And then you can, those people can have your guns. What we want to do is stop the crazy people. What we want to do
Starting point is 00:09:30 is stop the ease that you can get it. And we want to stop the massive guns that are only used for mass casualties. Can you, can you do that for us?
Starting point is 00:09:38 You dumb fucking assholes. And then all of the arguments, they, none of them fly. Like, like the the old uh it's not it's not the guns it's the mental health well they there are everybody else in every country has mental health problems too they don't have the shootings because they control the guns they don't control the mental health they haven't fixed the mental health they fix the guns so also the people who are who are the pro-, the Venn diagram between pro-gun people
Starting point is 00:10:05 and pro-mental health people, pretty small. And that's what drives me even crazier because the life is precious pro-life platform are the same people letting this fucking happen. You have to have your baby. You can't have an abortion. Let the baby live because every life matters. But by the time you're eight,
Starting point is 00:10:24 we'll send you off to school to be fucking slaughtered. But we're all about life. Fuck off, you dumb dicks. There's a mental health problem. Well, there's a mental health problem all over the world and no other mass shootings. Gun laws don't work. Bad guys don't follow the rules. Well, other countries have bad guys and they don't have mass shootings.
Starting point is 00:10:43 It's like I feel like i'm taking crazy pills where there was a time where i felt like i was too i was i wasn't educated enough or i didn't know the stats or i didn't know the the the reality and now it's like we have the proof it's every other country and you know maybe i can understand where it's like we're bigger than other countries we have more people uh some of these things are different so maybe it won't go as smoothly or as like instantly but um let's try yeah let's fucking try and if i'm wrong then you can have your guns back and we'll just you know whatever but let's's fucking try. That's what it comes down to, really. Like, that's really all it comes down to is just let's try something.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Right. Like, what has been attempted since Andy Hook? Nothing. I mean, there might be an answer. No, the big tweet going viral is, like, the only thing that's changed is every school has, like, active shooter drills and all that and so we just said to you the the final line of the tweet is something like we just told you you know good luck and pray for the best that's that's what's changed no what's changed is that like we also decided to give anxiety to every child right that it might happen to. And the odds are it obviously won't. But we'll make sure you think about it every day when you go to school.
Starting point is 00:12:08 That's been our big change. I've been posting those silly videos of Shay where she asks me all these questions about what happens if a tree falls on our house, what happens if a bear attacks me, what happens if there's a tornado. And there are all these things that are one in a zillion. And if she were to get wind of this and she were to understand what happened and she, I mean, she would crumble as a person, as a little person, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Starting point is 00:12:36 And if she would ask me about it, it would be a much more crazy enough. It would be a much more realistic conversation where I would have to be like, you know, yeah, it's probably not going to happen to you, but these other things are like lightning striking you. This is like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I don't know. What if someone who doesn't like barstool decided to bust in the door? I don't know. That's more likely in this goddamn country. And, and, and the fact that like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:13:03 you even have to have these conversations with little kids who are not equipped for it. We're barely equipped for it. I can't fucking imagine that. And particularly for my little girl, like, every kid, but, like, Shay is such a worrisome, like, she's such an empath. She worries about everything and everybody.
Starting point is 00:13:20 The other day, a nest fell out of a tree and a baby bird died. And, John, we almost didn't make it through the day. She was weeping all day long. We'd be playing. We'd be having fun. All of a sudden, I look over, crying. What happened?
Starting point is 00:13:35 Did you get hurt? Did the bees sting you? Something wrong? I'm just thinking about the bird. Twelve hours later, I'm putting you down to bed. You want to sing a song? You want to read a book? But what about that bird, daddy?
Starting point is 00:13:45 If I had to say, you know, what about the 19 kids your age who got massacred? Heavens to Betsy. And so whether you're a dumbass who cites the Constitution, whether you're a dumbass. Who gives a fuck about the Constitution? Don't bring that up on this podcast. I can't even. We're an anti-Constitution. Whether it's that, whether it's the bad guys don't follow laws, whether it's the mental health, whether you're going to blame the police on this one, whatever it is, the bottom line is this.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I say to you, we should take steps to stop the babies from being massacred at school. And those people say, yes, but. Yeah, right. If you say but to my statement of that, you're a bad person. You're a dumb person. You're a bad person. You're a brainwashed person. And I think you're an absolute scumbag.
Starting point is 00:14:42 That's what it boils down to. You are correct. We should. Yeah, like that's it, period. And I had a guy call up radio today and he was a nice enough guy and he was actually being very emotional about it and he was like,
Starting point is 00:14:55 I have an AR in my house. And I was like, if I told you right now to give that gun back and if I could snap my fingers and promise that everyone else would do the same thing and the problem would be fixed, would you do it?
Starting point is 00:15:11 And I think he even did say like, yes, I would. But then it's like, you know what? Go do it. Go give it in right now. Go give it to one of those amnesty things. Go to a buyback. Go do it. If you have a gun, you're gay. You're so gay. You're such you're gay. You're so gay. You're such a fucking pussy.
Starting point is 00:15:28 You're so gay. And I never understand that one either, the good guy with a gun. And I choose that word because that would really offend people with guns. But if you've got a gun, you're gay. You're so gay. And how about you're either a dumb gay ball who leaves the gun out because, listen, you want to protect your family, right? So if someone bursts in the door and tries to kill you and your family, you want to have your gun ready. Well, I guarantee you before you ever save your family, turning into John McClane, your kid's going to play with that gun and blow his head off.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Or you're one of the smart people who's safe about it, and you have your gun in a safe, and have your ammo in the other safe and you have them on separate houses and nobody can get to it. So by the time these guys burst in the fucking in your John McClane fantasy when your house is being invaded, you're fucking dead anyway. The good guy with a gun should only be a law enforcement. And even then, even then there's countries who are like, we don't even give the cops the guns. And that works out. You want me to make make an argument this year i'm just going to talk about something different real quick you ever watch british tv shows british cop shows they're so much fucking better because the cop doesn't just show up and shoot everybody they're much more they're much more interesting television shows so all i'm saying is that if we ban guns here tv get better the cops don't get to have guns,
Starting point is 00:16:46 TV gets a lot better. If you want to do it for the children, do it for Netflix. Bro, watch a season of Luther, and then watch fucking NCIS, and you tell me which show you want on
Starting point is 00:17:01 fucking broadcast network television. Ban guns, that's what we get. If that ain't the best pitch I've heard. and you tell me which show you want on fucking broadcast network television. God. Band guns, that's what we get. If that ain't the best pitch I've heard, get a good season of TV out of this, you fucking dickheads. Tell me Luther's not better. Yeah, he's so much better. And I just, like, there's just no way.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Oh, you motherfucker. Funny bone? No, I have, like like bursitis from punching. Oh, Jesus Christ. Yeah, just punch things. Be regular violent. Don't be gay violent with a gun. I just, you know, if you it's it's reached a point where it's like arguing with a person who's trying to tell you the sky is yellow.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Like there is no more nuance to the argument i'm not understanding you are talking about you want regular ass people to easily be able to get automatic weapons there just is no it's like argue why i shouldn't and it's like what do you mean i shouldn't even have to i can't even come up with a like a all of the points because it's like telling me you know you shouldn't even have to I can't even come up with all of the points because it's like telling me you know you shouldn't like you shouldn't just murder people on site you shouldn't just burn down houses you shouldn't just you know run over people
Starting point is 00:18:14 with your car those are just things that you should know shouldn't happen it's crazy man dude it honestly is it's like dude I remember I remember Sandy Hook. I remember it very vividly because we were at work, and Dave was like, shut down the blog.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Yeah, yeah. This can't be a day where people work or we can't speak to this, all that kind of shit. It wasn't even about you didn't want us talking about it about it it was just like can't be clowning around about dumb shit when this is going on but just like you honestly we felt like more than that from him where it was like everyone go home yeah like yeah yeah this is a national tragedy yeah everyone go home and like do what you need to do to deal with this right and and that was what seven years ago say eight years ago right yeah and and now in in those eight years the change the only change has been we care less right like we it is not it's
Starting point is 00:19:15 business as usual it's not a national event no it's not a big deal you know what i mean we were better people we were a smarter company we also were you know 45 minutes away from that it was a it was it was connecticut it was smack in between the two cities that existed on barstool and it was a bunch of rich white kids or or you know average middle class upper class white kids this is a bunch of of poor Mexican kids who don't speak English. They are going to get even less attention than anybody else does, and that's the sickest part of it all. I would love to try to do some sort of fundraising to pay for funeral costs or counseling or I think sometimes when this happens,
Starting point is 00:20:03 they change schools like they need a new building or whatever counseling that's actually something i was going to say too is that like you know actually i unfortunately haven't even learned how to pronounce it it's uvaid what's it uvalde uvalde texas uvalde okay so like we'll think about uvalde for a few days maybe right and then you'll carry on that's it and but when'll think about Uvalde for a few days maybe, right? And then you'll carry on. That's it. But when we think about these things in such a small little box, that town's dead.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Done. That town's never going to be – They are already so poor and marginalized as is. And now it kills any town where that's what you're known for. That's what only people – nobody wants to start a business. No one wants to start a family. Nobody wants – it's just – that's it. You are the town where all the kids get sold.
Starting point is 00:20:52 It's like a horror movie. It becomes Amityville. I forget why I was driving through Sandy Hook. I was driving – I drove through Sandy Hook fairly recently. Let's call it the last three or four years. And like maybe it was just me you know but like when i crossed into it and i saw the sign like welcome to sandy hook there was a different feeling yep like it was like it was spooky it was ears like it was like oh fuck this
Starting point is 00:21:16 is that place this is and and like that's people don't move there anymore if anything people leave no one's coming it is and obviously it's not a dead town, but it is – everything about that town is – This is now their Big Bang Theory. It defines you. This is where it began. Yeah. You remember that – I don't know if you ended up watching it, but it was a documentary I watched on that. It was like a small, really small town in the middle of nowhere America where they took matters into their own hands.
Starting point is 00:21:45 There was this, there was one citizen of this town of like 400 people. It was like comically small. One guy was like a rapist and a bully and a murderer and he always got away with it and the town just banded together. They fucking killed him. Nobody said a word and nobody could prove anything, but it just consumed this town. Nobody could ever move on from it. There was this black cloud of like murder and lies and deceit. And in that case, it was almost honorable what they did. This is like that times 20, times 19 in the worst of ways with the wrong kind of national attention and not the right kind of
Starting point is 00:22:25 national attention that's it that that town the people who were lucky enough to survive they're fucked those friends those those the families the kids the other teachers it's just you know it absolutely decimates you need to raise the school like you can't can't just be like back in the same classroom and the same always i can't believe that they just send kids to school across the country today like i don't feel like school canceled for the week like like just like i can't i can't imagine being a parent just dropping it like right i hope it doesn't happen here you were up all night last night watching news reports and he's gonna get up feed your kid breakfast and fucking right and bring him to the slaughter factory which is an
Starting point is 00:23:02 exaggeration obviously but you know what all of a sudden the day that it's not it's it's tough man and like and i know you know i i debated it i was like should we not do an episode should we not talk about it you know the company's grown so big and we're not gonna do the shut down the website thing i can you know we're already posting about johnny depp's trial and all this silly shit and like, and then I get people being like, you know, well, we need an escape.
Starting point is 00:23:32 I fucking hate that. I hate the escape. First of all, shut the fuck up. It's not like you travel to a different world when you listen to my podcast or something like that.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Secondly, we don't deserve to escape this. The whole point is that it should be in your fucking face. And I know this is controversial listen to my podcast or something like that secondly we don't deserve to escape this the whole point is that it should be in your fucking face and i know this is controversial and some people don't agree with it and i don't even know if i fully agree with it but i think they should cover it differently and i think they should show the babies i think they should show their faces i think you should see some of the gruesome stuff because otherwise it allows you to bury your head and i know people think that maybe it's like oh the news is exploiting those families and it's gun porn and it's wrong and they're doing it for views and clicks and
Starting point is 00:24:09 unfortunately some of that is true but the second i saw i don't even know if it was real or not but the second i saw a little collage of every of pictures of little kids i'm assuming it was real because you'd be a real asshole to just circulate pictures that aren't those kids. And I started crying immediately. I had a face to it. I looked at it. It's like, oh, my God, that looks like my daughter. And that looks like my kid. And they took pictures like that.
Starting point is 00:24:33 And it hits you harder. And it doesn't allow you to just be like, let me put on my favorite podcast where they're going to talk about dicks. And this isn't happening. We don't deserve to escape it. We're the only fucking assholes who don't fix this because we just continually escape it and pretend it's not happening. So, no, you don't get to escape. You got to sit in it. I think you're right with that.
Starting point is 00:24:55 So, that's my piece on that. I said it before. If you are against me on this, I say unf don't buy tickets don't listen don't buy merch i don't want you to support me i don't even want it if you can't if you're even if there's a but there's a single but i'm out on you you know you could be a very rational person and even maybe have a rational argument as to why you need a gun but if it comes at the cost of this i think you're an asshole and so and so again like just meet us like i i'm not a fool to think that we're just gonna poof disappear guns even though every other
Starting point is 00:25:40 country has kind of done that scotland austral a bunch of other examples. But let's just start with no automatic weapons, no assault rifles, background checks, regular checkups, ammo control. Remember Chris Rock's bit about gun control versus bullet control? Like, a lot of these things, let's do them and try that. And then the hunters can still hunt and the average gay ball dad can still maybe have a handgun with a couple bullets that he keeps in a fucking safe and if you violate you know any of the terms you go to jail for goddamn life or something like that start with the gay dads and and they can they can keep doing it and everybody else needs to stop and we'll see what happens because i i i would
Starting point is 00:26:25 imagine what's gonna happen is what's happened everywhere else we have the examples we have the you know it's like oh man i wish we just had a crystal ball on how this would work uh we do we did it's called reality you fucking pricks so uh we're gonna do our regular shit here we'll do some m of the asshole uh we'll do some voicemails. We got two interviews with Howie Mandel and Mario Lopez that we already recorded. So we are talking about the silly shit. We are talking about the nonsense, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:56 life does have to continue. And I don't know. I don't have the answers, you know, but we're going to do our show anyway. Okay. Am I the asshole? Am I don't have the answers, you know, but we're going to do our show anyway. Um, okay. Am I the asshole? Am I the asshole?
Starting point is 00:27:08 How about, how about, am I the asshole for stealing a ton of valor last night? Oh, stolen valor. Feidelberg. One of my favorite Feidelbergs. What happened?
Starting point is 00:27:19 I, I went to see, uh, I saw a top gun Maverick. It's unbelievable. Oh, I can't there. Oh, I can't. I can't think of a movie that I know guaranteed was a more can't miss than that movie.
Starting point is 00:27:33 It's so awesome. It's so good. It's so good. I can't wait to see it again Thursday. Fights is hurting. If you're watching on YouTube, Fights is hurting it looks like he's like swallowing glass every time he talks everything every single swallow dude it's like i gotta force it down well you know you are the hero you are really the hero today it's i should be impressed
Starting point is 00:27:56 but so so cons and i've had plans to go see this movie for two years supposed to come out back in 2020. Oh, wow. Cons and I, we like to be in the theater for big opening nights for action. So he calls me like Sunday and he's like, I got bad news. We already had tickets for Thursday.
Starting point is 00:28:19 You got bad news. I got invited to a private screening of Top Gun Maverick on the uss intrepid um which if you don't know the intrepid is a uh like an aircraft carrier or uh like a battleship yeah on the side on the west side of manhattan in the hudson river that is just permanently docked there that's almost like a little museum you can go and like view it as a tourist it's fucking sick they've got stealth bombers and fighter planes on the deck and to so to to have a movie premiere on that is for a obviously a fighter jet movie is fucking sick dude it was so sick but the but when he's calling me he's like actually you know what like
Starting point is 00:29:02 let me see if i can get you in so he he talks to someone who talks to someone, gets me on the list. And then I'm like, I'm getting drinks with chaps. I'm getting drinks with chaps, cons, and Kate beforehand. And that's what I get for the first time. I hit you like, one of these things is not like the other. Wait, should I be going to this? And they're like,
Starting point is 00:29:29 yeah, yeah, there'll be tons of civilians there or whatever. We're non-military there because I think they're all civilians at this point. And I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Okay, I'm going to trust you on this one. All right, I'll fucking give it a shot. Dude, there were five people there Not in full uniform Three of them were Chaps, Cons, and Kate So they said The other guy was a photographer Everyone was in full fucking
Starting point is 00:29:57 The fact It's pretty rare when you can Absolutely single out Like you might have a hunch You might have a hunch. You might have a pretty good inclination. You might even be right with your guess. But when you absolutely can zero in and narrow down that you are the number one asshole
Starting point is 00:30:15 at an event, that's special. That's special. I was like, oh, you guys are all, you're active. You guys all like do this Top cut shit for a living okay this is this is active military what were you wearing uh oh boy i was worried i was wearing this t-shirt uh a pair of jeans but i'm gonna show you something because we i we couldn't figure out where it was gonna be uh-huh like where the going to be. It turns out that there is a
Starting point is 00:30:46 theater on board. It was just at the regular theater. We thought maybe there was going to be a setup outside. That's what I thought. An inflatable movie screen. It was going to be there. It was going to be a little breezy
Starting point is 00:31:04 because you're on the water. Sure, sure. So you had to dress warm with this jacket, huh? So in case of a breeze, I did bring a sweater, which I wore like this. Oh, no. No. No. If you're not watching, stop listening.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Go over to youtube john wore his sweater tied around his neck like a tennis pro at the country club named like hi i'm trip wentworth the third nice to meet you my dad owns this place you look like a colossal asshole dude everyone else is in full uniform and i was like this stereotype look like the cartoon character look for when you're trying to make a white asshole i mean that's it you did it i look like a guy whose dad voted to send them over but wasn't letting me go what a what a colossal asshole you are you didn't think you just maybe you know put it on or hold it or you just kept it over the shoulders huh it never occurred to me really yeah no it was because i'll be honest i like the look like i'll be honest i thought i was getting this fit off man i was throwing fits bro i'm sorry i'm fine with it but you know what was what was a strange experience of it was that like i feel like
Starting point is 00:32:32 like when when regular people when civilians go see a movie like this they're more hoorah yeah than like the soldiers sure and so like There wasn't a bunch of like, woo! I thought there was going to be screaming and shit like that. There wasn't at all, really. Well, that's because they were all active servicemen and women who respected and glorified and turned it into an action movie like
Starting point is 00:32:57 the assholes would. Like the assholes with the sweaters around their neck. Even at one point, someone was giving a speech beforehand and and said like you know we thank you guys you're our heroes blah blah and someone would kind of say oh bullshit i love it exactly like we're not here for this nonsense yeah there was no uh there was no like none of the stars or anything right no no no no but the movie's a plus as good as i guess yeah miles teller kill it it's crazy like they look it's
Starting point is 00:33:27 because they're really in the plans yeah well tom cruz is all the other guys they all they all did it too i think they're all in the planes yeah i think i think the rumor with cruz was that he flew like that he like learned how to do it and yeah yeah so yeah they're all doing the like the g force like dude i can't even melting face i was at the doctor the other day with Keegan and he sat... I sat down on the doctor's little stool that spins and he spun me around like three
Starting point is 00:33:53 times and I was like, whoa, bro. I'm a little nauseous. Being a fighter pilot, being in a jet with... I mean, the gravity, the G-Force, your face, you're flipping upside. I'd be puking everywhere, dude. Yeah, oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:08 These guys are – it's an impressive thing to pull off. I mean, Tom Cruise, he's an absolute psychopathic asshole. But you got to give the guy credit. He goes balls to the wall on every fucking roll. He's the – like, if you don't appreciate Tom Cruise, appreciate Tom Cruise. You're never getting another Tom Cruise. He is a fucking movie star now again he might you know he might endorse and condone like you know cloak and dagger life-ruining practices by a cult but you know what like i i i think i might have i
Starting point is 00:34:39 think we might have had this conversation once before but like or maybe he said it or something i'm having a little bit of deja vu but if there's ever a movie if there's ever a chance to do like an astronaut movie where they're actually in space he'll go oh yeah like if elon and spacex and like privatized space travel becomes enough that like hollywood's like we could actually do this scene from outer space tom cruise will turn into an astronaut. He'll do it. He'll be the first one to go. 100%. He is a gangster, man. It's like separate
Starting point is 00:35:11 from the artist or whatever. Separate the Scientology. He might be more dedicated and better to his craft than anybody. He's the Kobe. Is Scientology... This is how good that movie has me talking. Is Scientology even that bad? You know who got a little bit of heat for that recently?
Starting point is 00:35:29 Our boy Bill Burr. He was like, you know. He said something like, a couple dead bodies and a couple bent out of shape 90s sitcom actors. Is it really that bad? Dude, you want to do a body count Scientology versus fucking Christianity? Oh, yeah. You write on that one for sure. You want to do a body count Scientology versus fucking Christianity. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you're right. I take one of the cleaners every day.
Starting point is 00:35:46 You're right on that one for sure. One afternoon in the Crusades. Bro, we can do it. We can probably start from the inception of Scientology. We don't even have to bring the Crusades in. Yeah, just do like 90s till today. I bet we got you guys beat still. No, you're right.
Starting point is 00:36:02 That's a fact. But I do – so Leahah remini uh tweeted it like at at bill burr i was like hey bill give me a call like i'll let you know and i think her whole thing is when you know the extent of what they do and how they do it it's basically like a real life handmaid's tale but i can understand the take of uh you know, show me the bodies. Show me the bodies. Has she seen Top Gun Maverick? It's like, you know, I say it's like, you know, weigh the things of the arguments.
Starting point is 00:36:33 You know, it's like the gun control versus the good and the pros and the cons. And it's like Scientology cult, a lot of shady shit. Created, you know, Top Gun Maverick. These are, you got to break a few eggs. I saw, I saw someone tweet, Tom Cruise is definitely
Starting point is 00:36:46 my favorite actor. Tom Cruise is definitely my favorite actor who knows where Shelby Miscavige's body is. It is funny to think about when he did that. That's Miscavige. I know who you're talking about. I love the...
Starting point is 00:37:06 You think about him when he... His famous rant when he went on Oprah and he stood on the couch and said how much he loves Katie Holmes and his behind the scenes yelling at the crew and just all the things. That was sick though. That was cool.
Starting point is 00:37:21 He was the good guy. That's when he was like, I'm taking this shit professional, like serious. He's like, we have an industry on our backs. You can't wear a fucking mask. He was like the hero in that rant. But when you think about his silly things, he also kept Katie Holmes hostage for about a decade and thinks that he's an alien and thinks he's going to live for a billion years. It's pretty wild. It's pretty wild to be like, that guy's awesome,
Starting point is 00:37:49 but if I were to have a beer with him, he would tell me I'm going to live to a billion. But, dude, again, I've got to ride in and defend Scientology here. How is that crazier than the guy who, having a beer with him, he's like, no, genuinely, when I die, I'm going to paradise.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Yeah. And you're like, what? Why is that crazier? It's not that much crazier. It's not. It's really not, man. It's not. I actually, you know, I –
Starting point is 00:38:19 How about being a Scientologist? It's better. It's at least equal to me being a Christian. Right. I mean, aren't there Scientologists who are just like me? We're normal? Yeah, it's not like everybody's a radicalized cult member, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Or is it? Or are they? Yeah, it might be. I know that Elizabeth Shue. No, Elizabeth whatever, the girl from it's funny because she plays Handmaid's Tale Oh, Elizabeth Moss, no Moss? Yeah, Elizabeth Moss
Starting point is 00:38:51 She's the star of Handmaid's Tale, which is like a dystopian future based on a cult-like religion and government and she then is a part of Scientology which I didn't really learn that until recently That's like Chris D'Elia playing all those fucking pedophiles. It's like, wait a second. What's going on here? She got up and
Starting point is 00:39:08 left the room when she says she swears up and down. She said to go to the bathroom. Suck my dick. But she's like, I'm very open about it. I'm willing to have a conversation with anybody about it, but it's like... That's some fucking Roger Goodell shit. I'm available as a media.
Starting point is 00:39:23 No, you're fucking not. Are you really come on come on kfc radio elizabeth we'll talk about it show me the quote where you've ever talked about it yeah you're talking about you're open about it you're not but it would be it'd be interesting if some if someone was like the same way that i'd be like well yeah listen some priests like rape boys but some of them are good people like uh you know are there levels to that in scientology or is it just like no we're all we're all part of this alien cult i think i'm actually genuinely done with catholicism genuinely yeah like when when when shea came home from school asking me about why jesus was hammered to a cross.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I was like, uh, yeah, no, no, no. I'm officially done with this. Like one of the very first things I'm going to do when I get my money is talk to their mom about like paying for them to go to a Bronxville public school.
Starting point is 00:40:20 But because we don't live in this within the lines, we'd have to pay for it. I'm done. I think I'm legit done with that it's like i have a seven-year-old coming home asking me about nailing people to wood that's psychotic folks if you're an adult and her and god bless her teacher like they're a great school otherwise but like you sat in front of a room full of six and seven year olds and said how he was nailed to the cross you you're psychotic. Just talk to him about like, be a good person.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Turn the other cheek. Do unto others as you would do. All that's fine. Don't have my kid coming home talking to me about nailing to the wood. That's fucking psychotic and it was kind of my breaking point, which is crazy because it's not, you know, it wasn't the rape
Starting point is 00:40:59 and it wasn't all this other shit that I don't condone. But it finally, much like we said about the shootings, like it's finally affecting me and my life in a way that i was like nope nope nope nope not doing this anymore fuck that this is weird so fuck catholicism we're anti-catholicism anti-constitution we're pro-feminist pro-masculine masculine pro-scientology pro-scientology all right let's do uh do voicemails.

Right on point with that. But also, let's talk about another very hot video. Crazy by Aerosmith. Yeah, I know now as an adult,
Starting point is 00:43:11 it's kind of creepy knowing that your teenage daughter is in the video. But at the end of the video, there's this half naked guy. Like he could have gotten it back in the day. Like he was, I would watch this video over and over again. Well, come to find out, being from New Orleans, that guy got arrested down here for raping college students. and i'm like oh shit that took a turn and i was also thinking horribly like oh damn that was me i wouldn't call it rape but okay yeah that took a turn but so is there anybody out there that you know you might have idolized that didn't really turn out the way that you planned i I'm going to cut her off there before there's a but. By the way, I actually, I think I had a fifth pick of the,
Starting point is 00:43:51 oh, this all happened at the live show, right? So these people don't even know what we're talking about. Oh, no, no, no. Hang on. We did, it was when we did music video draft. We did that on the podcast, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I actually skipped my fifth pick
Starting point is 00:44:04 because she said her video was crazy by Aerosmith. And it's kind of weird because Liv Tyler is in the video and she was being sexy and weird. And it's Steven Tyler's daughter. But I was going to pick Cryin' for my music video. I think I had a fifth pick that I never picked. Alicia Silverstone. She's in both. She was in Cryin' and then she was in Crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:29 But when Alicia Silverstone jumps off. Crazy is, I'd go crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby. Okay. It's kind of like Cryin' part two. They ran it back for the next album. And they brought Alicia Silverstonestone back and she ends up i think it's like a thelma and louise type video with her and live tyler but alicia silverstone and crying crying is a dope song and when she jumps off the overpass and she has a rope tied to her she gives the finger it was fucking wacky shit
Starting point is 00:45:01 going on in the 90s but anyway her question was she said there was a guy in the in the video that she was like this guy's super hot and he ended up being a horrible horrible sex offender so are there anybody that you idolized growing up or thought was cool or hot that it didn't quite turn out the way he thought it would did she mention nuva ring to start the yes she did she she had all she hit she hit it all she said i mention NuvaRing to start the podcast? Yes, she did. She hit it all. She said, I'm one of those girls who has the NuvaRing, and I'm happy about it. I'm cheering for it.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Okay, so that was a live show. Yeah, that's why I got confused. We did talk about birth control, and there was a few hoots and hollers from the crowd when we mentioned NuvaRing, the same way that it was like, hey, are there any Mets fans out there? Like, yeah. It was like, how about girls with their NuvaRing? And way that it was like, hey, are there any Mets fans out there? Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:45 It was like, how about girls with their NuvaRing? And they were like, yeah, that's me. I've got that little wishbone piece of plastic in my pussy, yeah. I still don't even understand how it... You're not a NuvaRing girl, are you? You're talking about IUD. Oh, I thought that's what NuvaRing was.
Starting point is 00:45:58 No, I think that's when like... Oh, yeah, it would make sense that NuvaRing would be a ring, yeah. That probably just what? Just put a little ring around your fucking tube so the cum doesn't get in there? I don't know. Yeah, it's like a hose. You just kind of pinch it.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Exactly. Put a little kink in it. Do you have an idea? I have an idea. And that's the plastic thingy? And that's the plastic. Yeah, yeah. I mean, there's hormones in it, but it's like the little T.
Starting point is 00:46:20 So is it something like you put in your body that puts hormones out and that's how it works or it physically the plastic like physically there's multiple kinds and there's but like the the there's one it's like the copper iud and that one's just like physically placed but it is like so bad like i had it there's tmi but like and then they inserted it wrong and it was like they like i was like bleeding it was yeah yeah that's why i i'm so surprised that chicks are like all about the iud because i feel like when you put foreign objects in your body if it doesn't go right and it's dirty or put in wrong or whatever i also just don't understand this is probably something i could easily google but it's like that little wishbone looks like the
Starting point is 00:47:00 flux capacitor and somehow that stops the cum what i don't get it i'm like i'm a fan of the fucking pill give me the medicine you put in your body and it puts all the medicine into your blood and your pussy and stops the babies that's what i like i'm a sponge guy sponge i would i would maybe do a patch too i trust the patch dude by the way you're talking about steven tyler i saw an article today about, um, what do you think Steven Tyler spent on cocaine in his life? Oh, what a great question. He's a guy,
Starting point is 00:47:30 by the way, he kind of disappeared. Oh no, nevermind. He was a, he was a, he was a guest. Uh, he was a judge on that show,
Starting point is 00:47:36 right? I think he's an American idol. Yeah. Cause I was going to say he, he disappeared and it's probably cause he did weird things, but no, uh, in his lifetime.
Starting point is 00:47:46 I mean, I, I'd have to say like six figure like a million dollars six million six million no how do you even know that did he just say like he probably just said like i used to spend xyz a year for 20 years so that adds up to six million let me see if I can. I'll see his exact quote was. $6 million. But you know what? It's like I don't know how much have you spent on booze and weed and drugs. It's like everybody spends the majority of their money on food, clothes, and drugs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:21 You've got to be a big baller to have a $6 million with nothing to show for it expense. You get nothing but a good time and a bad hangover, and at the end of end of the day you're like that's okay i spent six million on it and i am like happy to tell you that that's because i made you know a hundred million or whatever he did i don't know that is this is weird this article isn't even about this that was the headline and then it's just like the New York Post is just using that as clickbait. You're telling me
Starting point is 00:48:48 that a headline didn't it was a misleading article? I just searched I just like
Starting point is 00:48:54 control F'd million it's in the article once it's the last sentence and oh sorry it's the last sentence
Starting point is 00:49:01 of the second last paragraph. Oh by the way he did it six million dollars that's it. Tyler wants to estimate that he'd won6 million on cocaine in his lifetime. So I clicked that. It's 2013 he said this.
Starting point is 00:49:10 I mean, that's how not shocking that news was. Oh, so in an interview on the Australian 60 Minutes, Liz Hayes asked Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler if it was true he'd spent upwards of $20 million on cocaine. No. Probably, realistically, $5 or $6. I love that being like, seriously, lady? You think I spent $20 million on cocaine?
Starting point is 00:49:36 It was $6. It's like, dude, anything above, like, you know, several hundred thousand dollars is probably too much, man. It says, but it doesn't matter you could you could also just say i've snorted half of peru it's what we did i mean it's what they fucking did dude by we he was referring to joe perry a fellow band member guitarist the friends known as the toxic twins i didn't know that's a fire that is cool that's minka ke Kelly's dad. Right? Or no, the other guy. No. Minka Kelly's dad.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Joe Perry was the guitarist of Aerosmith. He went on a hiatus or something like that. There was another guitarist for a little while. That's Minka Kelly's dad. Do you have anybody who you like? A lot of the child actors,
Starting point is 00:50:22 it's like you like them until you don't. There's definitely, I'm trying to think of it, but I can remember. Probably Steven Tyler would be one. What? Probably Steven Tyler would be one. He hasn't done anything bad. He just grew up to become a human scarecrow.
Starting point is 00:50:40 And I'm under i'm under impressed if we if we if steven tyler was doing his thing now instead of back then we 100 would have said he was a trans a trans person yeah but dude it's weird all it feels like all the the people who get the most worked up about uh you know transgender stuff or bathrooms or whatever the fuck. I don't know. If you look back at who their favorite bands were, you're going to see that
Starting point is 00:51:13 they were... A lot of guys dressed up in tight flow. Tight but also flowing clothes. Like ribbons and scarves and long hair and big lips and no dick and skinny jeans. Very vocal now about how men used to be men. Right. Oh, dude, I saw
Starting point is 00:51:30 the funniest... I saw this funny, this fucking meme and I know it was meant to be real and a lot of it is, but it has the quote. It says, I just wish we could go back to a simpler time. I wish America would go back to the 50s
Starting point is 00:51:46 when things were simple and it's got a mom, a dad, and some kids and a grandpa in a Norman Rockwell painting, but then it has the meme words written on it to what they're actually going through in their life to basically being like it wasn't that hard and it wasn't that fun in the 50s.
Starting point is 00:52:04 And most of them are like like yeah this is heartbreaking but so like the the young son it says i have polio the dad it says i'm secretly gay the mother it says i can't get through the day without a shit ton of drugs the the grandfather it says i beat this shit out of my son and molested my daughter and no one will ever do a goddamn thing about it so that some heavy shit right but then it then it goes to like the daughter who's like a young like you know 13 year old girl and it says I'm not allowed to wear pants or go to college and I was just like yeah yeah one of these things is not quite like the other on that one but uh yeah yeah you're right I mean it's that way. The people who are the most outspoken are the biggest assholes.
Starting point is 00:52:47 I'm trying to think. I definitely know that there was some guys who I thought were funny or cool or were a bit character. And then it was like, oh, no, no, no. We don't talk about him anymore. But I can't remember it. But there's a shit ton of people who ended up being bad people, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Yeah. Or burnouts or drug addicts or whatever but you know I don't care about like if you fell on hard times yeah Bill Cosby was one that I you know can you believe Bill Cosby's out it's crazy
Starting point is 00:53:17 it's crazy you know what's a really crazy one Ricky Gervais talks about the Liam Neeson stuff that was a crazy one. That was a wild one. That was a wild trip. Ricky was like, I don't know why he told it, but I actually did the one-minute man. I went looking for a black person to kill.
Starting point is 00:53:37 That was almost like a Donald Sterling thing. The interviewer was like, I asked you if there was going to be a taken four sir i did like ricky's trans stuff when he said you know regular you know original women with a womb those fucking dinosaurs that delivery absolutely killed me man i find that special is very funny yeah i watched like half i liked it i thought it was i thought it was very funny it's it's it's not preachy like he does break it down and talk a little bit about cancel culture, but he does it in a very basic way, and the rest I just found very funny. It's been a little while since we've had a home-run comedy special,
Starting point is 00:54:13 and I don't know if I'm even ready to give him that, but that was money. All right, let's get back to the voicemails. KFC fights gang. I'm listening to the episode right now where Jackie's following the cherry blood. I literally watched an episode of Always Sunny last night. The 1920s black and white where they're doing the cherry blood mix-up ordeal. And I feel like life is a simulation.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Jackie's living that. Question. Who out of the KFC bunch would make the best reality show if you just followed them with a camera all the time? Two best candidates are Fights and Jackie. But then there's the KFC dad angle and just seeing the chaos of you trying to be a dad. Two questions. dad angle and just seeing the chaos of you trying to be a dad. So what, what members of the KFC radio gang would make the best reality show?
Starting point is 00:55:11 It's, it's, I'll tell you what, DJ Zach might make a run though. Like Zach has some deep, dark, deep, dark nights out there where he's in a,
Starting point is 00:55:20 in a mesh shirt in the, in like the gay clubs of New York city where he probably sees some things that we would never encounter. Jackie, you know, Jackie's not a real person. She's not a girl. She's not even human. She's just a character from the simulation at this point.
Starting point is 00:55:36 I almost want the reality show of her to come out so that she realizes she's not normal. Jackie's like, I'm in the room. You know that, right? she realizes she's not normal jackie's like i'm in the room yeah right uh but like you know if i could speak for jackie we but we're we're aware of our lack of normalcy i don't think she they just walked out they have a meeting i don't think jackie is yet yet i think she's still young i think she's still surrounded by a lot of other people who are weird and crazy and when you're
Starting point is 00:56:04 a young dumb kid and you're blacked out and you're weird and you say you're silly shit and you have your crazy beliefs. It's like the Mean Girls pod talking about robbing guys. When you're that young and you're young and dumb and surrounded by young, dumb people, I don't know if she knows she's crazy yet. Because every time we say something, she's like, what? And it's like, yeah, it's weird that you followed a blood trail around Manhattan. She's like, oh, yeah, I guess's like oh yeah i guess you're right i guess you're right i i i get weird with it with my thing where i'm like i understand i'm abnormal but i don't get why i am because i think everything i do is the most normal yeah so it's like you you you acknowledge that nobody else really does this but you don't know why but i think they're wrong yeah like yeah i do i do the i think i'm right i i know i'm in the minority i know i'm the rarity
Starting point is 00:56:49 but i think i'm the one doing it right yeah that's uh it's called denial i think uh all right last voicemail brought to you by oh so yeah the reality show yeah we have to live together no i don't think you you know, it's not like the Kardashians all live together and stuff. You know, the cameras bounce around. What's this pervert saying? We got to sleep together? You know what? I think it would be like if we did a show.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Oh, whoa, whoa, dude. Dude, hang on. This guy's trying to pitch us on a reality show where me and Jackie hook up? Yeah. If you did have a show that bounced around. No one ever called him. You sick perverts. Get your ideas cleaned up.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Don't you ever call up with that again. If you had a show that bounced around from john's life to jackie's life and then like me with the kids and nick like doing karaoke by himself late at night and then pads pads just being like a dumb dumb boy who like uh me and my friends drank a thousand beers today i think it would be it's a pretty balanced show yeah i mean i there's there's so many times where i wish i had a camera on for more of this, like, funny shit with my kids and, like, wholesome shit. And then you would get the weird shit from U2, the party stuff from Pavs, the unique, like, hipster shit from Nick.
Starting point is 00:58:18 We're a pretty balanced squad. We are a very balanced squad, yeah. All right. Last voicemail brought to you by 3G. You are an asshole if you don't rock with the 3G. 3G is a Delta-8 product. Delta-8 is an extract of THC. THC is the psychoactive part of marijuana.
Starting point is 00:58:37 So we're boiling it down to the good part of marijuana that gets you high and makes you feel that euphoric, tingly feeling, and that helps you deal and makes you feel that euphoric, tingly feeling, and that helps you deal with your anxiety and your pain and your restlessness and your depression, but without the other chemicals, it leaves you a little less paranoid, and you don't have that same fog, so it's a lot of the good, all the good with a lot less of the bad, and you can get it in any form. You can get it in the form of a vape pen. You can do it in the form of an edible that either they cook or you can cook with the oil.

Starting point is 00:59:46 Last voicemail. It's 3cheat.com, promo code STOOL5. Last voicemail. What's up? KFC fights, Jackie, Nick, whole gang. I had a podcast related question. So, me and my friend recently started doing one and we've been getting interviews on our podcast.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Kind of like how you guys do it. We talk and then there's an interview. And, um, I noticed recently some of, some of our guests, not all of them, but some,
Starting point is 01:00:11 they just ramble on and on and on. And like, obviously you want your guests to talk. It's good and all, but like sometimes I'm listening back when I, you know, clean up the podcast, edit it,
Starting point is 01:00:23 whatever. And I'm like, this is going to run half an hour longer than I really want it to. And this person's not even talking about anything interesting. So when that happens, I've like cut the small story they told and just like moved on with the podcast. But my question for you is, does that ever happen to you guys have you ever had guests that kind of just wouldn't shut up or do you typically just run the whole thing maybe this is a nick related question like you ever cut stuff from interviews or oh the irony of this question being too long-winded and running long that was crazy yeah i mean he's driving his car
Starting point is 01:01:03 you can't see it he's driving he's looking both car. You can't see it. He's driving. He's looking both ways. He's like, you know, it's like, bro, you could have just said, I have a podcast. I have long-winded interviews sometimes. Do you guys ever go through that? Done. Under 10 seconds. So, yeah, we sometimes have long-winded voicemails too.
Starting point is 01:01:17 We've definitely had some guests. I think at this point we are like we're good enough at this that we kind of control the interviews and we know when to wrap it up and we know when to you know here's the thing i know a lot there's a lot of people who don't like me who a lot of times say that i i cut people off or i speak up or i talk too much and a lot of times i'm doing that for the fucking sake of the podcast and for the own for the guests own good sometimes it's like you like, you know, pipe down. That's enough. And there's other times where, you know,
Starting point is 01:01:49 you need to like steer the conversation away or you're, you know, there's a lot of things, I think, interview-wise that if you were in the room and you felt, you know, some of the awkwardness or you saw some of the faces, you'd understand a lot more why sometimes interviews go the way they do. I think for the most part, we have great guests. It's very rare that I'm like,
Starting point is 01:02:10 that was a dud. That stunk. Or like, hey buddy, shut the fuck up. But it's happened here and there. For sure. I agree with that. But also, the other thing with guests, an interview is just a microcosm of conversation as a whole.
Starting point is 01:02:29 And guess what? Most conversations are pretty pointless and don't have to happen. Yeah, yeah. Right. You're just doing it for that one in a hundred where like something crazy happens. Most of the time it's a conversation and it's perfectly pleasant. It's actually kind of crazy if you think about it that we do – it's pretty much minimum like 30 minutes now, right?
Starting point is 01:02:48 If you were to tell me like you're at work, go walk down the hallway. You see Jeff D. Lowe there? Go have a 30-minute conversation with him right now. That's crazy, right? Yeah. And these people come with stories and they come with a reason and something to talk about. But it's hard to be interesting and intriguing while also being quick and brevity and interest and unique and all that.
Starting point is 01:03:20 I'm trying to think if there's one that really stood out. It's very rare that we'll have one where, not very rare, but pretty rare, that the person will leave and we'll be like, whoa, buddy. I mean, I don't like saying it because he's an incredibly nice guy. Even Bob Saget wasn't very fun. Saget would just say, Saget would just rant. Go back to the story of Bob Saget. We both say three words the whole time. But it had a charm because it's bob but if other people did that to us it would have been like what is going on here i think i think the first time he did i was like what the
Starting point is 01:03:54 fuck yeah but then like like i we talked like i i dm'd with him and like he like was a very nice guy and the fact that he was so maybe it's because we let him do that and say his piece. But he was always like, this was great, guys. And I was like, okay, was it? Because you just ran with it. And then there's always a few that are just like – my main thing is if you're going to be a guest on a podcast, come with like – come with some energy. Maybe like one preplanned story. I'm going to tell you guys my funniest story that happened to me and wedge it into the show if you have to. But sometimes people come on, and even it can be comics and other people in the business,
Starting point is 01:04:37 and they're just like, what's up, man? How you doing? And we just have a regular conversation. It's like, you're fine to talk to at a bar but to be but this was a form of entertainment that you expect people to want to listen to uh okay man you know and that's podcasts are just kind of conversating but at the same time it's like you expect people to really care about them i don't know about that one man but but the two guests we have today are neither of those uh we got howie mandel who basically performs like a stand-up routine for us.
Starting point is 01:05:07 When I found out he was the voice, I don't even want to blow it for you. He is the voice of a very popular 80s movie character that I didn't know about that for the 80s baby in me and the 90s kid made my dick hard. I'll just say it. So we got Howie Mandel, and after him we've got Mario Lopez, who I think is low-key creeping up to the top of my list of people I would trade lives with right now. You know, not many people would be like, who do I want to be?
Starting point is 01:05:36 Mario Lopez. You think about movie stars, and you think about sex icons, and fighters, and athletes, and it's like, look at what Mario Lopez has done his entire life. The people he rolled with, the life he's had, the money he makes, the job he does, how well he does it, how easy it is for him, and some of the stories that he alludes to in this interview.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Not a bad life for your boy Mario. So we'll talk to him now. It's Howie Mandel and then Mario Lopez on KFC Radio. Brought to you by absolutely nobody because today only had two ads instead of one. One up from last time, guys. Double the last episode. Cracked job by the fucking sales team. So I'll use this time to tell you to go get tickets.
Starting point is 01:06:19 We only have about 143, I believe, was the number of tickets available in Chicago. That was like a 750-person theater. We're like at six-something. So if you want your tickets to Chicago, buy them now. It's for June 19th or something like that. I want to say 18th. 18th. So that's going to sell out very quickly.
Starting point is 01:06:43 And then from there, we're going to try to do D.C. Nothing's official yet, but we're going to try to do D.C. the same weekend as the Pop Punk Music Festival with OAR and Alanis Morissette and Dave Matthews and all those bands. So Thursday, the 29th of September will probably be DC. And then I'm tentatively going to say the rest of the year, my thoughts would be Denver, LA, Phoenix, Dallas, come back east for Providence, finish off in New York.
Starting point is 01:07:24 That sounds dope. I think that would be my plan. And what we'll do is usually we do one show per month, but on the West Coast swing, we'll try to do it like, we'll have to do like three in a week because there's no way we're going to go back and forth, back and forth. So we'll do a little KFC Radio West tour. We'll hit Dallas, go down to LA, over to Phoenix.
Starting point is 01:07:42 Sorry, Denver. Down to LA, over to Phoenix, up to Dallas or sideways to Dallas or whatever the fuck and then back east. So that's the tentative plan if you're any of those cities. That sounds very sick. We looked at our demos of where the people are and
Starting point is 01:07:58 those are our most active downloads and listens. But I personally wanted to hit Denver. I was like, I want to go see Denver. I think Denver is cool. And they're at the top of the list as well, but that was the one that I was like, we're doing that one for sure. So, if you're happy
Starting point is 01:08:14 about that, you live in those cities, let us know. If you really want to make a run and a push for other cities that you think we really should be there, tell us why. But that's probably going to be the list of KFC Radio Live throughout the rest of the year for this tour. Oh, God. The name dropping
Starting point is 01:08:30 and everything. So am I. I'm 427. Alright. I feel it. Gotta go. Love it. I don't know how these people show up. Anyway, it's good to be back. What's up, brother? How you doing? We cleaned for you. I know.
Starting point is 01:08:45 I know. We started off on the bad chair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then you left that place. Right, right. And you came to a brand spanking new space, which is this, which I was there. Have you been here in like three years? Something like that.
Starting point is 01:08:58 Probably three years. Three years was the last time I was here, and it was brand spanking new. And now after three years, this is a shithole. What the hell? This is – we walked in and saw this place, and I was like, whoa, this is the cleanest it's been probably in like since we walked in. Oh, today? This is as clean as it gets. Are you guys all tested and everything?
Starting point is 01:09:16 Yeah, we're all good. We're good. We did double vacs the whole night. Me too. We scrubbed the table down. This is my first time back in New York since I probably was on your show. Yeah, I haven't been anywhere. I've been locked away.
Starting point is 01:09:26 Well, you know, for someone like yourself, it's got to be even worse with everything. I remember we did this. I think we Zoomed with you at one point, and you were like, this is how I live all the time. Right. Yeah, for you, it's fine. Well, it was hard. I actually got COVID recently, like a few weeks ago for the first time. And that was the hardest part for me.
Starting point is 01:09:46 I didn't feel bad because I'm... Have you guys got it? Did you get it? Oh, yeah. I got it. I got my ass kicked, yeah. Did you get it before the boost? No, I got it pretty recently. And when everyone else was getting Omicron and were like, you know, it's not great, but I'm fine. I think either I don't have a great immune system
Starting point is 01:10:02 or whatever, or I must have got the last bit of Delta because I got wiped out. Did you go to the hospital? No, well, I don't have a great immune system or whatever, or I must have got like the last bit of Delta because I got wiped out. Did you go to the hospital? No. Well, I shouldn't say that. Yeah. You know, I wasn't on ventilator or anything like that. Crazy.
Starting point is 01:10:11 But I, I was bad for like three, like four solid days of like really bad. And then like a lingered. And then for like two, like 10 days, I had like that. Like I always heard people talk about a fog. I was like, what does that really mean? And then I realized it's like I was lethargic. I just couldn't get going. Everything felt like a Herculean task.
Starting point is 01:10:30 And that lasted a little while. I didn't have that. Anyway, the thing that I had was just being locked away. I didn't like to be locked away. You know, my wife and I are not youngsters. So when I tested positive, and I only knew that I tested. I wasn't that sick. I had a little bit of a sniffle and a cough because I was doing AGT, which premieres on the 31st.
Starting point is 01:10:53 But who are you pointing at? The cameras. Oh, okay. All right. I thought you saw somebody I didn't. I got scared. You don't see him right there? So anyway, but I got locked away because I didn't want to go near my wife. My wife didn't want me near her.
Starting point is 01:11:10 And then for like 10 days, I was in a room by myself, which is not a good thing. I don't like being by myself anywhere. I don't like eating alone. I don't like quiet. I need distraction. And for 10 days, nothing but fucking me. And nobody was fucking me. I was fucking myself.
Starting point is 01:11:29 I was fucking myself in my head. And the highlight of the day is opening the door to the room. My wife would leave it like a cookie. You're in prison, man. Slide it under the door. I went nuts. I went to the deepest, darkest I've been in a decade. You lived out in California, darkest I've been in like a decade.
Starting point is 01:11:46 You lived out in California, right? Yeah. Couldn't you just kind of hang out in the backyard? I went outside. I went outside. I was trying things. I didn't want to pass her, so there's a little balcony in the room, so I sat out sometimes. I sat on the balcony by myself.
Starting point is 01:11:59 So it was just like being in the room but brighter. It wasn't. I played hide-and-go-seek't. I played hide and go seek alone. I did that once I was here. Did you watch a lot of TV? Every fucking thing. Every show. I liked when I was locked away.
Starting point is 01:12:15 I actually, I got it. I hosted a super spreader event. Is that what it said on the invitation? It was. I had to go on vacation with all my friends every winter. And I got tested right before I went. But then I guess I tested negative. And then the next day I went, I showed up, and I just gave everyone COVID.
Starting point is 01:12:34 But at first we thought I had. Men, women, children. We thought I hadn't intermingled enough. Yeah, there were babies there. Everyone. Licked. You licked. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Just like kissing them was crazy. It was nuts. But I just said, so they just locked me in my room, and I watched everything, and it was unbelievable. Glorious, right? Yeah. I usually don't like being alone with myself, which I'm with you on that. Well, the truth of the matter is I like noise. I don't like quiet.
Starting point is 01:13:02 The TV is on 24-7 in my house. I watch everything. It doesn't even have to be English for me to watch it. So watching TV. Wait,'t like quiet. The TV is on 24-7 in my house. I watch everything. It doesn't even have to be English for me to watch it. So watching TV. Wait, wait, wait. What? What was that? What was what?
Starting point is 01:13:12 You don't watch shows? Are there subtitles? No. I just, I love when the thing about it. Do you know the other languages? No. What the fuck are you doing? Yeah. You were just going to try and slide that in.
Starting point is 01:13:22 That you chose that you don't know what's going on in there? That's what I find that fascinating fascinating everything becomes a game show to me it's like what the fuck is this what are they doing is this a game season 4 of the show if you had the subtitles on I like to try to figure out what's going on
Starting point is 01:13:36 I'm just fascinated by anybody that's standing in front of a camera and saying anything I sometimes don't even I'm not aware of what language it is. You know? But I swear to you, and I will spend, my wife will walk in the room and say, is this still fucking on?
Starting point is 01:13:53 Like, haven't you, and I go, I haven't figured out what it is! She's like, put on the subtitles! Put on the American version, you idiot! I don't want to read. I said I like to watch. I actually just watched Tokyo Vice recently, which is a new show on HBO Max, and it's fantastic. But even that was,
Starting point is 01:14:09 it's a lot of Japanese. They had subtitles, but even with the subtitles, it was hard to... But did you watch Squid Games with the subtitles or in English? No, subtitles. Really? Everybody says that was better. I couldn't do the dubs. You know what? The dubs are like... I mean, you've done voiceover
Starting point is 01:14:25 stuff before. I do a lot of it. What is... I feel like when I watch those shows with voiceover, I can tell... That's a voiceover. ...that they're voicing it. But even a good performance becomes a piece of shit, and that's what I love about it. Somebody who doesn't really speak the language...
Starting point is 01:14:41 You know, I did the movie Gremlins. Yeah. And I'm Gizmo in Gremlins. Yeah. You know, and I'm Gizmo. Yeah. In Gremlins. But what was really funny about that is, you know, so Gizmo, I don't know if we talked about this before, but Gizmo. Come on. You know, that's the sound.
Starting point is 01:14:55 You did Little Monsters and you were in Little Monsters, right? Yes. And Gremlins. Is that a conflict of interest in your mind? No, it's awesome. I mean, I knew about Little Monsters. Well, one I was there for, but one is just a voiceover. The whole time I'm...
Starting point is 01:15:07 That's amazing. You were part of like the two biggest Little Monsters fucking things in the 80s. Yeah, you are so fucking lucky to have me on this. Absolutely. Wait, do the voice again. And Little Monsters was just my voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maurice.
Starting point is 01:15:19 But, so I did that. How much did you get paid to just go... But that's the thing. So, you know, and he would do things like we would come up a little, like you couldn't turn it. Light bright, light bright. You know, that was a light bright, you know, really kind of, you know. Cucka-mug-wai.
Starting point is 01:15:32 It was a cucka-mug-wai, like the bad mug-wais, right? But what happened was that movie was so big, and it was such an international hit, that they had me dub it. It's not English to begin with. Right. They had me dub it in other languages. What?
Starting point is 01:15:48 Did you do different sounds? Different sounds. So like in Germany. So you would say light right in German? Well, not really, but it had to sound. Because. Instead of. So Germany was.
Starting point is 01:15:58 Wow. But it makes sense. You had to get that. That was more in the Asian culture. No way. But I would have to do the whole movie. That sounds racist to me. I was going to say.
Starting point is 01:16:08 No, it wasn't. Ching chong, wing wong. It's like, whoa, we can't do that. No, but it wasn't my idea. I'm telling you, they came in, and it was so that you would subliminally, as a kid watching that movie, you would kind of understand, and he was speaking to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there are sounds that are specifically American
Starting point is 01:16:25 that sound right for Americans but mean nothing to – Throw in an A for Canada or an in it over in the UK. Did you have to decide what you were going to say or were you told like, all right, this is the one? No, Joe Dante was actually sitting there. He's a director. He was actually sitting there with me going, you know, is there something you could say?
Starting point is 01:16:45 I want to hear like light in it. I want to hear just, but I don't want you to say light. I just want to. It was so serious. Like framework. What a weird. Yeah, that's funny. It was kind of a weird, you know, I auditioned.
Starting point is 01:16:56 Well, that was my next question. Are there two guys in the room going, and the other guy goes like, well, no, I go like. Yes. You go, you go, you go. And you were the best one. Well, the thing was that my buddy, Frank Welker, who is the Mel Blanc of my generation, you know, he was everybody you can ever, I think he was Jughead on Scooby-Doo, and I think he was Jughead. But he's been a million voices on everything.
Starting point is 01:17:22 And on Bobby's World, he was like Roger. He does all these animal stuff. He said he said how are you do these noises i'm doing this movie with joe dante you should come in and audition and there was an audition in just a nondescript building in burbank california and there was uh the two offices there was one i didn't know this going upstairs, but one was a casting office where the person took out just temporary space. And the next office to it was an OBGYN or a gynecologist or something. So as I went upstairs, I hear, oh, oh, not in a man's voice. And I'm going, well, I can do better than that. Overactor.
Starting point is 01:18:06 Gizmo never said my uterus that's a big speculum so you were speculum wow a lot of people don't know that
Starting point is 01:18:14 oh John knows it for other reasons you know what you have in the ass did you have a speculum in your ass other people have
Starting point is 01:18:22 he's watched that quite a bit I've seen other people do it though you know what's weird I always thought the speculum was kind of? Other people have. He's watched that quite a bit. I've seen other people do it, though. You know what's weird? I always thought the speculum was kind of a funny instrument. For those that don't know the speculum, do they know? Your audience knows.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Our audience has an idea. Our diehards know what we're talking about. It looks like a robot daffy duck. It's got a big middle thing. And it's open and saying, ah. It's like two Pringles stuck together. It's like Pringles. It is.
Starting point is 01:18:44 So for women to be examined. But I was on a show in the 80s called Saint Elsewhere, and it was a hospital show. I played a doctor for six years. That's where Denzel Washington came out of. That was his first job. There was a lot of great stuff. Saint Elsewhere was a big show.
Starting point is 01:18:58 It was a big show, but most people that are listening to this probably have never heard of it. But anyway, I played a character called Fiscus, and I was the emergency room doctor. And I had said to the prop guy, just give me a speculum. So if you look at any episode of St. Elsewhere, I'm wearing a utility belt. I have my stethoscope.
Starting point is 01:19:21 I have a pen. I have a thermometer. And I have a speculum. There's no reason that I would ever have a speculum, but I carried it in almost every episode. I think that's unbelievable. Give me the whole opener. But I used to use it like they would cut, and then I'd have the speculum, and that's when I started doing voices.
Starting point is 01:19:41 I would just do it with the speculum. So wait, how far along were you established by the time you did Gremlins? Or were you kind of like a... That was in the midst of... That was 87. So yeah, I had been on the full run of St. Elsewhere. Ended in 87. I had done... But I'd been doing voices.
Starting point is 01:20:01 I did... The first voice I got onto was the Muppet Babies. Remember the Muppet Babies? So I was Skeeter on the Muppet Babies, which is Scooter's little sister. Skeeter, Skeeter talk like this. Same voice. Talking about why. You're a one trick pony.
Starting point is 01:20:17 I am, because I don't know if you ever heard Bobby's World. Yeah, same voice. Bobby, Bobby. Same voice. You just do this every time. Every time. It have a whole career. One fucking voice, I had a career. Is it hard for you to do it like extended
Starting point is 01:20:30 or you could do that? No, this is easier to do than to talk. That one's creepy. Talk. You know why? Because all it is, you know how you take the nipple of a balloon, if you blow up a balloon and you stretch out the nipple and it goes... When you're pushing the air out, it just makes that sound.
Starting point is 01:20:46 All I'm doing, if I lose my voice completely, that's just me closing my throat. And then if I loosen it, I can change tones. And on the Muppet Babies, I was Bunsen Honeydew, which is basically the same voice but loosened. So I used to go,
Starting point is 01:21:01 if you don't listen to me, I'll make your sister disappear. An animal. Oh, my God. You're like, I mean, you do everything. I did everything with one voice. Yeah, right. Like on the same show, you're doing the same voice.
Starting point is 01:21:16 And then like nobody notices. But I used to, I talk about it in my act. That voice is before I was on television, before I even aspired to be a comedian, before I wanted to be in show business, I could do that voice. Originally, I talk about it in my act that I was choking on a piece of cake, and that's how I found out. I'm like, sorry. And everybody's laughing, and I realize this is a career. But I used to go to the emergency room of the hospital,
Starting point is 01:21:39 and I used to go up to the admitting desk and go to any, can I please speak to a doctor? This is from my act. And she would always go, like, what's the problem? What do you mean, what's the problem? I was at a birthday party. I wasn't the only one doing this. They had the helium balloons.
Starting point is 01:21:57 Everybody took the helium balloons, they untied the balloon, they sucked in the helium, and everybody went, hoo-hoo, ha-ha, listen to me, not funny. This was two, two and a half weeks ago. They untied the balloon They sucked in the helium And everybody went Hoo hoo Haha Listen to me Not funny This was two Two and a half weeks ago I am I am really
Starting point is 01:22:10 Really Concerned Amazing That's such a great Little party trick I did that once With the helium balloons At the party
Starting point is 01:22:20 And I passed out That was Really Yeah I blacked out I mean it was I was huff Really? Yeah. I blacked out. I mean, I was huffing a lot. I was going to start.
Starting point is 01:22:27 Dude, I was. Did you have the canister? I was huffing. Oh, and everybody's, Carl, man, run around. Carl, man, run around. He's out. It was like a full blackout fall. Like everybody else,
Starting point is 01:22:39 everybody at the party on the phone, I'd like to report there is somebody unconscious. We're at a party. Sir, this is 911. Can you please be serious? I am, I swear. I am. We're at a party on the phone. I'd like to report there is somebody unconscious. We're at a party. Sir, this is 911. Can you please be serious? I am, I swear. I am. We're at a party.
Starting point is 01:22:50 There's a guy who's unconscious. He's got weird knees. They look like faces. Even the faces on his knees look like they passed out. Man, that's great. I mean, Gremlins has such a spot in my heart. That is amazing.
Starting point is 01:23:09 Thank you. Bismo, dude. But you know what I'm doing now? I'm real excited about what I'm doing now. Well, which one of your 20 projects? Bullshit? Bullshit's incredible. Bullshit is amazing.
Starting point is 01:23:17 Bullshit is my favorite thing that I've ever done. You know what they did a really good job of? It's not hard. Dude, it's so hard. No, then you're playing wrong. No, the truth is this. Well, you are an idiot. But here's the point.
Starting point is 01:23:31 The point of bullshit, which is on Netflix. The point of bullshit, when they called me and they said, we're going to do this show called Bullshit. And I go, what is it? And they go, like, it's a trivia show. I went, fuck it. No, I'm not interested in trivia. I don't have a GED.
Starting point is 01:23:42 I don't watch Jeopardy. I don't want to be a host that just reads questions. When we were designing it, my buddy David Freeman, who was the architect of this whole show, was amazing. Because what we did is we said, we have to make the questions hard. Like, there's no way you need to know that you should know the answer. Because then that just ruins the whole fucking game the question is do you does the person who's answering know the answer right so wait let's so set it up for the people who haven't okay there's so it's a trivia game think of who wants to be a millionaire there's 10 what happens is i ask a question with like who wants to be a millionaire
Starting point is 01:24:21 with four options a b c or d at At the moment that you have to answer, you will answer the question by clicking your answer, A, B, C, or D, into an iPad, basically. As soon as you click it in, you see, as the person who answered, whether you're right or wrong. Nobody else knows. I missed that part. Pardon me?
Starting point is 01:24:42 You idiot. Well, right, it is so fucking hard for you. That's why it's so fucking hard. That's a pretty important part. Pardon me? You idiot. Well, right. It is so fucking hard for you. That's why it's so fucking hard. That's a pretty important part. Yeah. John, you missed the whole premise. I missed that part. That part makes it easier.
Starting point is 01:24:55 Okay, so now... That part makes what easier? The game show. If I was saying if it's bullshit or not, because it's like they're... No, so there's three other people, and they're bullshit detectors, and they're vying to... Who's ever answering the question is trying to go up the ladder to a million dollars.
Starting point is 01:25:09 When you click in the answer, if the answer... And they're really hard questions. Really hard, yeah. Sometimes the odd person knows it. If they know it, they answer it and they tell you,
Starting point is 01:25:19 this is the answer and this is why I know it's the answer. The three bullshit detectors get to say whether they think it's bullshit, you're bullshitting, or they think you're telling the truth and you really know it. And they click it in. It behooves
Starting point is 01:25:32 them to call bullshit when it's bullshit or say it's the truth when they really believe it's the truth because at the end of the person's game that's answering the questions, whoever was the most accurate will move into the million dollar seat. Did you understand that part? I got that part.
Starting point is 01:25:47 I watched enough to see it happen. I got that part. The contestant trying for a million will get the boot from a bullshitter. Here's it. If you don't know the answer and you bullshit about the answer and all three
Starting point is 01:26:03 bullshit detectors call bullshit you're out. But if you bullshit and even one of them believes you and they want to be the most accurate. If they say oh yeah this makes sense. This guy knows what he's talking about. This is exactly what it is.
Starting point is 01:26:20 And he calls truth and it's bullshit. You still win the money. Cool. So people go up and So it's calls truth and it's bullshit, you still win the money. So people go up and I... So it's about trivia, but it's also about your ability to bullshit and read people. It's about poker. It's all in. It's so fast, though. You could be smart,
Starting point is 01:26:35 but you could be better at lying and convincing. Well, listen, ultimately the people playing... It's kind of a street smart, book smart sort of thing. If you have the best combination of both, you are going to dominate this thing. But it is possible. Here, spoiler alert. We did give away the million.
Starting point is 01:26:51 Oh. And it took me four years to give it away on deal or no deal, number one. And the person that got the million did not know a lot of the answers. So the point is you're only rewarded for being a really good bullshitter. Liar, yeah. Yeah. And it's hard. Dude, like I don't know how much time elapses in real time, but like they're spinning tails fast.
Starting point is 01:27:12 They have to. Like really, really fast. So that's the thing. About why they got it right? I'm sorry? About why they got it right. They're able to come up with bullshit. But why they gave the answer, whether it's a lie or not.
Starting point is 01:27:20 But the bullshit detector is watching everything. Like everything from – so when you press – you go, the answer is C. They go, I saw when C came – so that'll – if C's wrong, it'll go red right away. So they'll go, I saw – when you clicked the answer, I saw you look like you were taking it back. So you got to watch the body language and the way you talk and the way – And then what happens is the contestant picks that up, so they go, if they're able to stay in the game and go up, they will be taken aback at every answer. Just so that you can't read them.
Starting point is 01:27:52 Love it, love it! And they lie about what they do. I'll say, what do you do? And they'll go, you know, I have a PhD in science. So now you're thinking, well, I don't know if that's true, but if he is, he should know this. I didn't realize that they could also lie about that either. They can lie.
Starting point is 01:28:06 You just come and pull it in the other direction, right? I think that guy was telling the truth. He was a scientist, but he didn't do well. He didn't do well at all, but he was like, because I forget, even the first question of the whole show is like, that's what sets the tone. I was like, oh, this is hard as shit. It's Thomas Edison. What nickname did he give his two kids? Yeah, but why would you even know that? I was like, this is a thousand hard as shit. It's Thomas Edison. What nickname did he give his two kids? Yeah, but why would you even know that?
Starting point is 01:28:26 I was like, this is a $1,000 question? This is really hard. But now when you get into it. But you would believe that Thomas Edison, somebody who, you know, the producers are really smart in putting that question. This guy was a major, he's a, what was it, physics? Yeah, so that guy should know it. So he might know it, physics? That guy should know it. So he might know it. You don't have to know it, but do you think he knows it?
Starting point is 01:28:50 And does he seem confident when he's telling you this? And does he tell you even more information to prove to you that he knows that? Yeah, he was going overboard with information. So it's about reading bullshit. But the truth of the matter is even if you go on a first date,
Starting point is 01:29:05 how you're acting and what you're saying is, I've been married for 42 years. It is nothing like the first date. Nothing. At least six months to a year before I start telling you any kind of truth about it. As far as, I'll just go by my own. Next year, I'm going to be honest.
Starting point is 01:29:22 It's going to be year 43. You're trying to convince someone to get naked and let them go inside of them. You're going to be telling them all sorts of fucking preposterous things. That's why you have the speculum. Dating. Now it's all full circle. Howie, I fucking wish, bud. Only on birthdays and Christmases.
Starting point is 01:29:42 Are you on dating apps? I am not on dating apps. I've Are you on dating apps? I am not on dating apps I've never been on dating apps I had Tinder when Tinder first started Probably 8-10 years ago And I never met anyone from it I would just go on it and fuck around a little bit John like borderline
Starting point is 01:29:57 He didn't invent but he popularized Tinder I think Tinder is where it's at today It was probably going to succeed But I think it exploded where it's at today It was probably going to succeed But I think it exploded Before it was big? You were there? Yeah John came up with the best pickup line ever
Starting point is 01:30:10 What was it? It worked so well It worked crazy well It was just how many pushups can you do? And you'd ask the girls No one ever asked girls how many pushups they can do And look at you Today you are still single
Starting point is 01:30:18 It is amazing how you popularize It's amazing Well, you know what? Who would have thought of that line? Hey, I just had a couple ladies in the time frame I was going to say It depends on what you popularize. It's amazing. Well, you know what? Who would have thought of that line? Hey, I didn't tell you what you're using in the time frame. I was going to say, it depends on what you're using Tinder for anyway. No one's on Tinder to try to not be single. You're married?
Starting point is 01:30:31 Are you married? I'm divorced. Wow. Even before being married. Yeah. What a way to start a relationship. Because it wasn't really that big of a thing before I met her. So then I was married.
Starting point is 01:30:43 Is that through an app? Is there like a divorce app? Yeah. I want to divorce somebody. I want somebody who wants to leave me. I want somebody who can't stand me. I want somebody to take half of everything I own. It would have been a lot easier
Starting point is 01:30:55 if we both just logged on to some app. That's called Splinter. I'm on Splinter. I'm on Splinter. What you do is just rip half of my life away. Bucketing. Brilliant. How many push-. What you do is just rip half of my life away. Bucketing brilliant. How many push-ups can you do? But when he first came out, he was in Boston, so it was like all around New England.
Starting point is 01:31:14 Every girl was like, why are people asking me how many push-ups I can do? And it got to the point where girls would reply like, I read Barstool Sports all the time. Everybody knew it was coming from him. I'm listening to you. I'm listening to you. I think you live in your own bubble. I don't think it took off. My son is big on the day. You don't think Tinder took off?
Starting point is 01:31:32 No, the push-up line. It was like 10 years ago. When Tinder very first came out, before it was like a thing. I was talking this morning to my son. Fuck you, Howie. I'm looking at you right now and I think you're dead wrong. Shut the fuck up, Mandel.
Starting point is 01:31:49 My son, Alex Mandel, who is also single. I was just talking about it. His sisters put him on all these apps, and then they answer and fuck with him. So then they think it's him, and he gets in trouble, but he's having a good time. That's why I don't use them. I have a deep seated fear Of like Screenshots being put Like this is what
Starting point is 01:32:07 Feidelberg says On dating apps It's grimy out there People being like Your game sucks I'd rather die alone I'd rather die alone Than be embarrassed
Starting point is 01:32:14 For one day on the internet My son has a You're in the wrong business My son has a What's it called Like a model Rescue service He's got
Starting point is 01:32:23 A model rescue service Yeah He will take like Wounded Like models And then What's it called? Like a model rescue service. He's got... A model rescue service? Yeah. He will take like wounded models and then bring them in and nurse them back to health and then release them back out into the wild. It's like a model way station. That's good work if you can get it. He's got it.
Starting point is 01:32:39 He does it. Alex Mandel. He's doing really good. Is he hiring? I'll fucking help out on that job. Maybe he needs somebody to feed them. I can build them Legos or something. What does that even mean?
Starting point is 01:32:53 It's an inside joke. If you've got to share. It's not an inside. As broadcasters, inside jokes aren't the best thing. It's not an inside joke with just us. Yeah, I know. This is big like how you blew up
Starting point is 01:33:05 Tinder. You're just the only loser who doesn't know, Howie. We made Legos. Speculums, Legos, and Tinder. Barstool Sports. You put those three things together, you got a fucking hell of a party. Dream date.
Starting point is 01:33:24 Many, many years ago, a porn star named Christy Mack. You may have heard of her. You may not have. I haven't. She's quite popular. She tweeted, anyone who brings me Legos, I'll give them a blowjob. Really? She was at a bar in Boston.
Starting point is 01:33:39 She happened to be in Boston at the time. I put together a bunch of Legos, and I brought them to her. It was a long time ago. Just last night, she was with the comedian Bert Kreischer, who together a bunch of Legos and I brought them to her. And this was a long time ago. And then just last night, she was with the comedian Bert Kreischer, who's a friend of ours. I love Bert. And she was with him and he was telling her, he's like, I know Feidelberg who brought you Legos.
Starting point is 01:33:54 We had told him the story, so he knew. Right. And had brought you Legos years ago and she remembered me. Did she blow you? She did not blow me. Why? No, that's what I said. Oh, you didn't put them together. No, I didn't. No, I put them together. What did you build? A car and a dog. Yeah? That's what I said. Oh, you didn't put them together. No, I put them together. What did you build? A car and a dog.
Starting point is 01:34:06 Yeah, a car and a dog. And I thought it was like this fun little thing. Legos or blowjobs? Mostly Legos. Blowjobs, I was terrified. I was like, she might actually suck my dick. It's scary. What if this porn star wants to give me a blowjob?
Starting point is 01:34:20 You know what, when you think about it, the fact that you are just inserting your dick into her mouth is kind of like a human Lego. Lego. Put it together, take it apart. Put it together, take it apart. And if she bites down too hard, you're screaming, Lego! Brilliant. That was a good one.
Starting point is 01:34:38 That was a good one. That was a good one. Thank you. I've been here for 20 minutes. It's the first time they went, good one. Running bits on us. But in the video, she was like, I'm not really going to suck your dick. She said,
Starting point is 01:34:49 I have to talk to my lawyers. She brings a legal team with her to blow jobs. I guess so. You would think if there's one thing that she doesn't... In the video, it seemed like fine. She was laughing, whatever. Then we got this new video last night from Bert on his tour bus where she was like, yeah, that fucking loser. She's like, fine. She was laughing, whatever. But then we got this new video last night from Bert on his tour bus where she was like,
Starting point is 01:35:07 yeah, that fucking loser. She's like, he should be embarrassed. That was pathetic. She was really mean to me. About the car and the dog? About the car and the dog. Is that what she's talking about? So now, this whole time, we thought, all right, she didn't blow him.
Starting point is 01:35:20 But it was like, hey, that was funny. You met Christy. And all these years, she was like, that guy sucks had burt kreischer at my office the other day and i'm doing this thing with holograms i love holograms yeah well because i like i want to figure out how to go everywhere without actually going anywhere are we talking like uh star trek holodeck it's pretty amazing and i showed it to burt and burt's becoming a thing like it will be a burt i want to do this this tour with burt I have a beer with Bert. He can be anywhere, but he's not there, but live, and you can interact.
Starting point is 01:35:49 Bro, this is – Go on. Go on. I'm telling – I'll show you this thing. You have to wear, like, goggles? No. Look at – I'll show you this thing. I have been – my whole life since I'm a Star Trek – I'm a nerd.
Starting point is 01:35:59 I watch Star Trek. The holodeck was like – I was like, I want to – I hope I live long enough for that to be a thing. It is a thing. Look at this. I mean, I would never go anywhere or see anybody ever again if it was a thing. Here it is. This is in my office now. Howie's just like a trailblazer, like pioneer of all this weird shit.
Starting point is 01:36:14 How do you do so much? What do you do? Why do you do so much? So I can be someplace. Watch this. I can be someplace. Watch. Wait.
Starting point is 01:36:23 Howie Mandel here, but this is in my... Look, and then this goes, and I could... This could be here in New York. I can see you in real time, talk to you. It's the proto-hologram. Look it up on Instagram, proto-hologram. So wait, wait, wait. I'm looking at a screen to see you.
Starting point is 01:36:42 You're looking at a camera and a screen. Yes. You'll see what in the hologram, in the proto, it's this big box, which is life-size. They have it at Christie's here. So I would have a box in my room and your thing would appear there 3D. You would look at it 3D. Yeah. We have one at Christie's now.
Starting point is 01:36:57 Christie's, that's how they're selling their art. They're selling NFTs off of it. Right, right. Proto hologram. But I sit on the board. Diddy is on the board of this thing. Anything that I can go to without going to, you've got to see it. So Bert came in and did my podcast.
Starting point is 01:37:12 Howie Mandel does stuff. Wherever podcasts are available. Instead of doing like Zoom guests, you can do hologram. No, not Zoom. And they're here. You can do hologram guests. They're here when we're off. So rather than do a call, do a Zoom, even in person, I'd rather talk to the hologram Howie. And they're here when we're off. I'll show you one with people interacting.
Starting point is 01:37:25 Do a call, do a Zoom. Even in person, I'd rather talk to the hologram Howie. I don't have to get you in here and make fun of our office. No, but the thing is I can see you. The hologram can see you. There's no latency. It's in real time. It's not a phone call. It's like 3D.
Starting point is 01:37:39 It's right there. Now, do both people have to have a box? No. Yeah, you can just have it and I'll watch it and you would then see me on a regular screen if people have to have a box? No. Yeah, you can just have it and I'll watch it and you would then see me on a regular screen if I didn't have a box? No, you go to where the box is. So I can send the box to a theater. We just did a
Starting point is 01:37:54 live concert with 10,000 people. Diddy just went to nine cities to introduce his new tequila. Ellen just did it. It's really catching on and I think I'm going to have it just for laughs this year. You know I Ellen just did it. It's really catching on, and I think I'm going to have it
Starting point is 01:38:07 at Just for Laughs this year. You know I do Just for Laughs. Remember when... You should do your show from up there. Yeah, we haven't done it yet. You should. Yeah. I feel like it's more comics,
Starting point is 01:38:17 like stand-up comedians, as opposed to live podcasts, though. There's a lot of live podcasts. Are there? Do you ever talk to comedians? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, like every fucking day, talk to comedians? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, like every fucking day, Howie.
Starting point is 01:38:27 Really? Yeah. I didn't know that. I hate you. You're my new sworn enemy. Ken Jeong, off the list. Howie Mandel, top. But wait, I'm not understanding.
Starting point is 01:38:36 So remember when Tupac holograms were performing on stage? So these people are the same. So these are the same people. But that Tupac thing, what that technology is called is Pepper's Ghost. If you've ever been to Disneyland and you've been in the haunted house, it's kind of that same thing where they have this screen that they project. So you need to have that big scrim in front of you. This is very different this is a box that you know whether it's at a theater whether we put it in a bar and you have a beer with burt you know or burt also
Starting point is 01:39:12 liked it because you can you know we can resurrect people who are dead yeah you know he wants to do it at his he said he wants to do it at his funeral and just uh talk to everybody yeah that's what burt said on the podcast okay so i'm asking so many questions here, but like, is Wiley expensive? No. So you have the box, and if you want to reach a consumer or a fan. So we do. So you can, if you're Christie's, you can buy the box, rent the box. If you're a comedian, you can, you know, the cost of the box and sending the box to whatever
Starting point is 01:39:46 theaters or clubs you want to go to is probably just as expensive if you wanted a bert's renting a bus or a plane and all these people on the road he could sit at home and he could do all the shows and interact with the people like he's just there proto Proto. Proto. Remember that name? One person right now? What? Is it only like one box, one person? No, you can put multiple people in a box.
Starting point is 01:40:12 What's in the box? They used it on Fashion Week here in New York. They showed lines and did fashion shows on it. You can sell NFTs. It was at Art Basel in Miami. The question is, when does it make it to porn? I think it might be there. I'm just not promoting it.
Starting point is 01:40:27 Porn's always ahead of the curve. That's true. Porn was on 4D, like way, way, way. What is 4D? I meant to say 3D. But the. Oh, I think 4D. You smell it.
Starting point is 01:40:39 4D. It's three-dimensional with an odor. I'd be into that. I don't smell a little porn. Your phone just I uh the 4D no they do the 4D
Starting point is 01:40:49 at the movies which I hate that the rumbling in the chair and stuff yeah the chair oh no I gotta tell you I live in California
Starting point is 01:40:55 so I went to see the first 4D movie I thought every fucking minute I thought this is not the movie let's go stand under the door
Starting point is 01:41:04 I remember the first time I did it where it was like it squirts you too I was watching Uncharted which is horrible
Starting point is 01:41:12 I don't think it was Uncharted there's a thing they do that at Disney also you get wet the alien ride I think it is you must hate that
Starting point is 01:41:21 I hate that it's like mucus it's like a sneeze and it was like when it hit me though I instinctively I instinctively was like turned like that and fucking slammed my head into the other side because it was – I didn't expect to get splashed with water. No, thank you.
Starting point is 01:41:32 Right. And are you sure it was water? Well, I walked out. I don't like moisture. You don't know what they're spraying. Yeah. Or like they're not cleaning out the pipes or whatever in the chair. Listen, you enjoy a movie.
Starting point is 01:41:43 You enjoy seeing a movie. You enjoy spending time with a movie. You get a nice cup of milk. You get your milk and you sit down and you watch a movie. Right? You don't get milk. You get milk at a movie? You ever got milk at a movie theater? You really get milk? You got a big pint of milk.
Starting point is 01:41:58 No, you didn't. That's just stupid. You're stupid. You're an idiot. What's so stupid about getting my favorite fucking drink at a movie? It was one of the more horrifying fucking... I'm lactose intolerant. Can you imagine if... This pussy can't even drink milk.
Starting point is 01:42:14 He's talking shit to me. What, do you have pictures? He's looking through his Instagram. Do you have a milk story? I got it somewhere, I think. It is... I'm going to look on stuff, too. Okay.
Starting point is 01:42:24 We'll just go on our phones. Hell of a podcast. I have to go I got it somewhere, I think. It is. I'll look. I'm going to look on stuff, too. Okay. Yeah, we'll just go on our phones. Hell of a podcast. I have to go to my online, I suppose. Do you guys do other people's podcasts? Would you ever do my podcast? I would love to. It's the one thing we don't do very well. You had someone on recently who I was like, maybe it was Burt, but I feel like you had
Starting point is 01:42:37 someone like a little more rated R, maybe rated X. Did you have a porn star on your show recently? Tana. Who was it? Tana, what's her name? Tana Mongeau. Tana Mongeau. No, no, no. Not her have a porn star on your show recently? Tana. Who was it? Tana, what's her name? Mon- Tana Mon- No, no, no, not her. Farrah Abraham.
Starting point is 01:42:48 Farrah Abraham? Yeah. Backdoor Teen Mom? Yeah, but you know why? I thought she was on because I had the girl on that sold farts in a jar. Yeah. Okay, that was- And then I read that Farrah was going to sell shit in a jar.
Starting point is 01:43:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah. She said it wasn't- Well, first of all, cease and desist. Get out of our lane that's our territory get off our block or there's going to be problems second of all i got in a little bit of trouble with almost did because farrah like like said she was doing that and all the headlines like said that and then she was like i'm not actually doing that and i'm going to sue you and i was like well all right if you're not If you're not doing it, you're not doing it. But you told everybody you were doing it.
Starting point is 01:43:26 No, she said that was a leak. No pun intended. No, no. There was a fucking video. I watched it. She was like, I've got this little cotton ball. Do you think she was just trying to sell, like, a fart in a jar, and then it was a chart? Some of it went a little too far. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:38 You know what? You can sell now shit on a sheet. The Amber Heard Collection. This was my milk at the movie theater. I don't see the problem. Are you serious? I don't see the problem, man. That is crazy.
Starting point is 01:43:52 You're crazy. But it's crazy because I've never, I've been to, you know, I'm a lot older than you, so I've probably been to more movies than you've been to. You know, I see the gummies. I see the popcorn. I see all the soft drinks. I have not seen milk When I was surprised
Starting point is 01:44:09 Go ahead When I was surprised by it The people on the internet were like What are you an idiot? Like kids go to movies I was like well what the hell does that mean? I've been to movies as a child I've never once gotten a glass of milk
Starting point is 01:44:20 Yeah It's not a thing I've never seen that No I've never seen that It's an amazing place You don't want to go to an adult theater and everybody behind you has a white mustache have you ever been to an adult theater yeah yeah yeah like well my my my dad uh was a proprietor of a of a strip
Starting point is 01:44:39 club no way yeah it wasn't supposed to be it was a bar. But sometimes there was no ban to books. I love the way you tried to dress that up. That was the proprietor of a strip bar. How did I dress up? He owns a pity club. Well, it wasn't. I went one time. He had this thing.
Starting point is 01:44:54 He had a great sense of humor. So I went to his club one time. At least one of you do. See what he did there? Anyway, he had this. I remember the one dancer because I was like eight. It scarred me forever, but her name was Princess Glow.
Starting point is 01:45:09 That's a good one. And he had this bar in Canada, in Stratford, Ontario. If you know nothing about Stratford, Ontario, it is the epitome in North America of the Shakespearean theater festival. So he was counter-programming. Yeah. Yes. And he had, Princess Glow was 350 pounds at least. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:45:30 Would climb into a giant bubble bath in a champagne glass. Yeah. And then she'd climb out, not gracefully, and just walk around the room and drop her wet, soapy tit on bald people's heads. And I remember standing at the back of the room with my dad and him saying, Son, one day this can all be yours. What a routine. What do you do for a living? I drop tits on, my big tits on bald heads.
Starting point is 01:46:01 I would love that. I'd shave my head for that. Just for that. That's why I did. It's been since I was a kid would love that. I'd shave my head for that. Just for that. That's why I did it. It's been since I was a kid. I couldn't wait to shave my head. And I haven't gotten one tit on my head since. You got to go see Princess Glow.
Starting point is 01:46:15 She's the only one who does it. I think Princess is gone at this point. I'm old. I was just a baby then. That's like 60 years ago. I was probably seven. Eight or nine. I tell a story. Wait, how old are you? I was just a baby then. That's like 60 years ago. I was probably seven. You were an eight in that? Eight or nine.
Starting point is 01:46:26 I tell a story. Wait, how old are you? I'll be 67 this year. Shit. I know. That's what I say every time. You look great. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:46:33 That's what's in your diapers. What a condescending thing to say. Coming from you. That means so much. The man whose face looks like knees. Or his knees look like legs. His face is... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:42 No, I was right the first time. You do look good for your age, though. I would not have guessed that at all. Thank you. I always, when they go, for your age, the caveat. I've gotten to the point where a compliment is not even a compliment. Oh, we get that so much, man. But you guys are, you know, that's who you are.
Starting point is 01:46:57 You are so smart for a stupid man. We get it all the time. With the story, the Jersey Mac thing With Bert this morning Oh this was a great one Let me read that word for word Someone Someone sent a tweet to me You talked to Bert already this morning?
Starting point is 01:47:10 No just Reposted his story Because he posted The picture of Chrissy Mac Telling the story Okay The blowjob And
Starting point is 01:47:17 And someone replied to me And I was like I forgot how pathetic it sounded Yeah so So John said This is unbelievable All this time And I never put together
Starting point is 01:47:25 how pathetic she thought I was. I thought this was a cute little thing. Right. This guy, random dude, replies, honestly,
Starting point is 01:47:30 if you told me that Feidelberg did something lame to try to get a blowjob from Christy Mack, this is actually one of the least embarrassing things
Starting point is 01:47:36 it could have been. So it's 50-50 whether she thought it was cool or not and it probably went the other way because of how you look.
Starting point is 01:47:46 Like that last line line I was like bro why you said it's hit and it laughed and kicked all of these things it's like kind of nice
Starting point is 01:47:54 and then being like but it probably failed because you're ugly and we get it all the time but you guys go you do my do my podcast it's called
Starting point is 01:48:02 Howie Mandel Does Stuff we'll do it well don't tell me you know you can ask me you can tell me no no don't tell me. You can ask me. Don't tell me. No, you can tell me. I already asked.
Starting point is 01:48:07 You said sure. Was I not here 10 minutes ago? Do my podcast. Did he not say do it? Yeah. Howie, I'd like to do it. Can I ask you something? And I don't care because I'm vaxxed and boosted,
Starting point is 01:48:17 but there are two of your employees or team in the room. One is maskless and one is maskful. He said maybe I should mask up and then he didn't do it. What's the difference between that guy and that guy? He respects you, he doesn't. That one has a mask. Fuck you!
Starting point is 01:48:36 Nick is the consummate professional and the three of us, morons. I just had COVID so I feel invincible. I just had it. I feel like invincible I just had it I had a buddy who was a bigger guy And he would always say that He was our first friend to get COVID
Starting point is 01:48:50 And this was three years ago when it was really hot We were scared for a moment when he had it Three years ago No but he had it before even Wuhan Yeah He did get it pretty early And he would always say that He'd be like you guys want me to run to the store?
Starting point is 01:49:05 I'm invincible And we'd be like God damn you dude You're not invincible Shut up But wait I want to hear more I want to do the podcast
Starting point is 01:49:12 Howie Mandel does stuff I also want to hear more About the Farrah interview Cause that Like what is Howie Mandel and Farrah She brought her daughter She brought her daughter?
Starting point is 01:49:20 Yeah She brought her daughter Which is famous You know That's how she got famous Right? That's right I forgot So her daughter What's her daughter? Da is famous. You know, that's how she got famous, right? That's right. So her daughter's probably 15 years old.
Starting point is 01:49:29 No, maybe 15 or 13. Sophie, I think, is her name. It's kind of tragic. You know that story, right? She was 16 and pregnant. I think that's the show she was on, right? Teen Mom, yeah. What?
Starting point is 01:49:40 Teen Mom? I think it's 16 and pregnant. Isn't that crazy that those shows used to, like, it's kind of just like exploiting these young girls in horrible spots. And we were like, yeah, it's part of my TV. Well, I'm pitching something now, 66 and shitting yourself. You're the star? But then the father died, right?
Starting point is 01:49:58 The father died in a car accident. Did he? Got anything funny to say now? Fuck! We'll cut that. Yeah, she's 13. She was born in 2009. So we brought her on. I brought her on. Well, two things. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:50:14 We brought her on because I had read the same thing you. I don't want to repeat it again because apparently she's going to... You'll probably not get it. Why? Because, I don't know, you're you and I'm me. You made that so clear. Wow.
Starting point is 01:50:31 You should make a t-shirt. That is a profound, you're you and I'm me. That's a great t-shirt. I'll make it. So anyway, but two things. She said, number one, that she was going to sell those things, and I had just had the girl who farted in a jar. So she was going to take it one step further, so I thought.
Starting point is 01:50:51 And then the other thing was she said that she was going to go into stand-up comedy. Remember that? Did you hear that? I don't remember that one. No, she did. She wouldn't tell me who, but a comic took her to a comedy club and had her stand up, and she's thinking of doing that. So the fact that she was going to poop in a jar and stand on a stage, I thought, this is my wheelhouse. And I had her on.
Starting point is 01:51:16 She's kind of interesting. She's an interesting human being. It's always interesting, these people that were kind of manufactured by our pop culture it's not like it's not like they had a hand in it's not like what you guys are doing you know it's not like you're doing something that is they put themselves out there initially but then it's like but even whatever the whatever the machine with her in particular even like the pop stars like you know the britney spears and all those like they i mean all those. That's not the same thing. So Britney Spears was a singer.
Starting point is 01:51:48 She's trying to be a pop star. But she or the family made the choice to. So her mom put her out there to be a singer and an entertainer to be in show business. When Farrah Abraham was 15 years old getting knocked up in the back of a car. I imagine there's like Legos everywhere. She's blowing people. When she's getting knocked up and pregnant, this was not to make a name for herself. But then her mom put her on the show to do that.
Starting point is 01:52:18 Well, they're probably like, we need to pay some bills, right? Right. So you know what? Glass half empty, glass half full. So you know what? It's horrible that this young, unmarried teenager is pregnant and about to become a mother, but oh my God, MTV, let's make the most of it. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 01:52:33 So they did. They made the most of it. And I think that whatever that does to somebody is beyond their control. For sure. And then that created... And then once the horse is out of the barn, it's... She did not create herself. We, being
Starting point is 01:52:47 our culture, created her. And I'm fascinated by these people who just... We kind of grew. We have this garden of humanity and then we have these reality TV people who have just become whatever... It's the plant in the garden that
Starting point is 01:53:03 you don't really understand that I find really interesting. I think the really savvy people can, you know, the Kardashians of the world and whoever can manipulate that and take it and direct it where they want. But the Kardashians, I know them really well, and I've known them for a long time, the Kardashians and Kris. They were savvy. They were also always entertainment-driven.
Starting point is 01:53:22 They wanted to get there. Adjacent. Right, right, right, right. Kim was, my wife owned a clothing store in Calabasas, and Kim was originally the stylist for Paris Hilton. Right, right, right. She used to come and get all the clothes from my wife. Chloe went to school with my daughter.
Starting point is 01:53:41 There was play dates with Chloe. I used to go to coffee in the morning with Bruce when he was Bruce. And I've known Chris forever. And when I used to fill in here on Regis for Regis, what's her name? Regis and... Kelly? No. Kathy Lee?
Starting point is 01:54:00 Kathy Lee. God, you're old. I am old. Kathy Lee was best friends, has been best friends with Chris. So when she came out to L.A., we used to go over to their house for dinner with Chris and the family. I knew Kendall and Kylie when they were babies. Did you have any OJ run-ins? I saw him that week.
Starting point is 01:54:20 There was a fundraiser for the – I saw him at a fundraiser that weekend jeez yes i remember i saw him at a fundraiser and then you're like now that i think about it it was that night right at the same time like i could have been his alibi this whole time but that was pretty it's pretty fascinating when you see something i'm fascinated even after all these years with media where when you talk to somebody or about somebody and then it just blows up. And you go, I was just there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And people are still fascinated by television, by podcasts.
Starting point is 01:54:57 They'll go, I heard you. When does this air? Next Tuesday. Okay, next Tuesday. So whatever. This is Tuesday right now. But somebody will see me at Starbucks this morning while you're doing that, and they go, I just heard you on Barstool Sports.
Starting point is 01:55:10 How are you here? People are just amazed. Or you were on Fallon in New York, and now you're here. It's impossible. The Wright brothers. You may want to look it up. And recording, whoever did the tape. And I still am fascinated by
Starting point is 01:55:26 seeing somebody a couple days before they do something. It's funny to just see people in general, though. It's like you like people get starstruck by just looking. Dude, I just did it two hours ago. Not even two hours ago,
Starting point is 01:55:42 an hour ago. I just walked by Kieran Culkin pushing his daughter in a stroller. That's a good one. And I was like, he might be the guy. That's got to be terrible. So Kieran Culkin, for those that don't know, has a 16-year-old daughter. And sometimes he's out on the street just pushing her into a stroller. And she's going, fuck you, dad!
Starting point is 01:55:59 And he just pushes her by the back of the head right into the stroller. I can see why you would stop. Yeah, that's why it was so. He was walking really fast. And I was like, he must be late for something. Or he's just an incredibly fast walker. But it was probably the daughter was trying to get out of the stroller. I love that he says, I'm still amazed by seeing famous people and celebrities and things.
Starting point is 01:56:17 You just told that story. And you saw Karen Calkin with his baby. And you're explaining to me how you were fascinated. I'm a celebrity. Wow. I'm aware. But I've how you were fascinated. I'm a celebrity. Wow. I'm aware. I've seen you, dude. You're old hat.
Starting point is 01:56:29 I've had you. I got Kieran this morning. I've had you like four times. We always leave them wanting more, man. You've got to play hard to get. I saw Kieran's hair blowing in the wind. Let's see your hair blow in the wind. Match that.
Starting point is 01:56:47 Well, I'll open my fly. That's it. Sometimes I'll just take off my pants and do a comb over. And you won't know that I'm bald. I'm Dick Van Winkle. Dick Punzel. Dick Punzel. Yeah, Dick Punzel. Dick Punzel. Yeah, Dick Punzel.
Starting point is 01:57:07 Dick Punzel's a horrifying image of you standing at the top of a tower unraveling your... Oh, no, I'm thinking with the hair. Right. Yeah, that's... What do you think he was thinking? He said dick. He said dick. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:57:23 It's just the hair. Yeah. He said dick. No, no, no. Just the hair. I have a tiny dick covered with a huge mound of hair. It's like a dog's nose. You don't even see. You can't even see the end. It's just like a hedge. It's just like a bush. I like to hide.
Starting point is 01:57:42 Sometimes it comes through. Sometimes if I get really excited about something, it'll poke up through the hedges. It's like the neighbor. Oh, look, the neighbor's here. When you go to the bathroom, do you use the zipper fly or do you unbutton all the way? Well, first of all, it depends on. You're at the urinal, let's say. Okay.
Starting point is 01:58:03 Let's say I'm at the urinal. Let's just say... Have you ever done... You know what I used to do? This is before I was known, but after a movie, there's like three urinals beside each other just to see, just to fuck with people.
Starting point is 01:58:14 There'd be two guys at the urinal, and once you're at the urinal, you're committed. That's right, right? I'd walk in between them shoulder to shoulder and just start pissing on the wall between them. What? I thought you were saying you were using the middle urinal. You just start pissing on the wall between them. What?
Starting point is 01:58:28 I thought you were saying you were using the middle urinal. You just started pissing on the floor? There was no middle urinal. I'm saying there'd be two guys, and then I would get in and roll down. And just really uncomfortably, they'd go, there's no urinal. Sir, there's no urinal. Well, it's slide over, dude. And you would go?
Starting point is 01:58:46 Like pee on the ground and everything? Yeah. How old were you? 55? No, this was my 30s. Despicable, man. That's a savage move. The other thing after the movie, somebody would be in a urinal.
Starting point is 01:59:03 I would go into one of the cubicles and take the paper toilet seat, the paper toilet seat cover. Yeah. I would take the paper toilet seat cover and I'd come out to the urinal next to them and I'd put it down on the urinal and I'd pull down my pants and sit.
Starting point is 01:59:11 And the guy's going, wait, wait, what are you doing? Well, I'm not going to sit in the fucking cubicle. That's a big sign there. Start doing the gizmo voice while you're doing it.
Starting point is 01:59:22 Excuse me, sir. You're an animal, man. We should probably go do Answer the Internet. We could do this all day long, but we want to get you doing our other video. So watch on Netflix. Bullshit on Netflix. Which is such a great place. It's fun to get to swear and play trivia games.
Starting point is 01:59:42 I love it. And not throw to commercials. Yeah, right? It was so great. You know what I was saying is very, very good is on Netflix, the automatic trailer that kind of starts playing when you're scrolling through does a really good job of you explaining and I just saw that and I was like, this is awesome. And it's trending.
Starting point is 02:00:00 We're trending. And I want to get a season two. So can we just tell your listeners or viewers or whatever you're doing here, even if you're not interested in this show, but you have Netflix, and you're going to work for this. Just click it and leave it on. That's right. And then they'll go, oh, look, everybody's watching.
Starting point is 02:00:15 And they're watching the whole season. All day long. Oddly enough, from 9 to 5. All the time. And there's nothing wrong with getting picked up because of bullshit. Nobody's watching. It's bullshit.'s watching it's bullshit yeah
Starting point is 02:00:25 the whole game is bullshit it really is let's live the dream pick it up and let's answer the internet isn't that another room yeah
Starting point is 02:00:34 but so we got bullshit America's Got Talent forever and ever and your podcast is Howie Mandel does things does stuff
Starting point is 02:00:41 does stuff and things I'll do things and stuff whatever you want. All in the same day. Put on a fucking mask. Mario Lopez is here.
Starting point is 02:00:53 Oh, wait. This is perfect. How do you say your name? You know what? I never correct anyone on the East Coast because of the accent. So you could say, you could say. He knows. I'm not that guy like you got say i'm not i'm not that guy
Starting point is 02:01:05 like you gotta call it i don't i'm not that guy i'm the same way because my name is i have a stupid last name and no one ever says it right so i don't care so i'm mario on the east coast i'll be mario on the west coast you go to my neighborhood i'm mario so it's a lot okay all right so that's the thing that is the thing so a lot of it stems from Super Mario, right? And they're always like, what does he say in the game when Nintendo 64 opens up? He goes, it's-a me, Mario. And I'm like, okay, well, do you run around saying, it's-a me? Do you two speak with an Italian accent? No.
Starting point is 02:01:36 But that's how my dad says my name, Mario. I know. That's funny. Well, I – Call me what you want. It's an endless fight. I say Mario. I'm from Massachusetts, but I say want. It's an endless fight. We've had – I say Mario. I'm from Massachusetts, but I say Mario.
Starting point is 02:01:47 It's just like New York. It's really not just East Coast. It's like a – there's like – It's geographical because my friends from Boston, too, they say Mario. Yeah. They say Mario. So it's like a geographical – you know what I mean? I feel like there's pockets, just like pockets of Jersey and New York that say Mario,
Starting point is 02:02:02 but then a lot of people say Mario. So my son started playing Mario Kart, and he's playing, and he's York that say Mario, but then a lot of people say Mario. So my son started playing Mario Kart and he's playing and he's saying Mario, Mario. And I was like, in this house, he said Mario. Every time he said Mario, I started tickling him. I'm like, what's his name? What's his name? And he's like, Mario, Mario. I was like, good, good, good. But yeah, I mean, every time I say it, I get crushed. Like people just, like I'll do like, because I love video games and shit from back in the day, like I'll do like, because I love video games and shit from back in the day.
Starting point is 02:02:26 So I'll like do a segment or something about him, the game, whatever. And I really want to talk about like the game or whatever it is. And all we talk about is pronunciation.
Starting point is 02:02:35 I'm like, fuck. I should just start saying Mario. I've never changed. I mean, I've never. But you say Mario. I mean, I say Mario, but like, you know. Whatever.
Starting point is 02:02:43 I guess it's my name. I guess how I pronounce Mario. I mean, I say Mario, but, you know. Whatever. I guess it's my name. I guess how I pronounce Mario. My name. Well, it's Mario for the rest of this fucking interview, all right? Fair enough. So, like, Access Hollywood, right? Yeah. Does it even need to be promoted?
Starting point is 02:03:01 It's like, you're just like the news. You're just like this. You know what I mean? Thank you. It's a funny you're just like this you know what i mean it's just a funny thing to be like you know everybody knows it everybody's tuning into it it's like it's funny that's even we've got two shows right so during the day we have uh access daily which is more oh right right okay the regis and kelly yeah yeah yeah and uh uh at night we have the access hollywood which i always say is sort of like sports center but for entertainment right you know you get recaps and people want to see and all that you know the new pieces and all that At night, we have the Access Hollywood, which I always say is sort of like SportsCenter, but for entertainment. Right, for sure.
Starting point is 02:03:25 You know, you get the recaps and people want to see the new pieces and all that. So it's fun, man, because I love entertainment. I love movies. I love music. I love TV. So even though I've been in it for a long time now, I still get excited meeting these people. And I try to watch a lot of shows. And obviously, there's more content than ever.
Starting point is 02:03:40 So it's tough to keep up. But I do like it. So being here in New York is the best because we've been shooting at the Plaza right where they do the Today Show so to have the people around there and have the energy and stuff
Starting point is 02:03:50 it's great we're trying to work on something like that out at Universal Studios to kind of have like that West Coast Today Show where we'll have the people up there
Starting point is 02:03:57 so yeah it's a lot of fun it's funny the entertainment world is like when I do One Minute Man if I do a sports you killed that by the way
Starting point is 02:04:04 thank you thank you yeah yeah worked that Thank you, thank you. Worked that in on camera. Thank you, bro. But if I do a sports take, it'll do a fraction of the views and the traction. But you do a take on reality TV or some of these celebrities or whatever,
Starting point is 02:04:18 and it's like, you know, I mean, it's a guilty pleasure for a lot of people too. A lot of people aren't admitting it, but there's a reason why Access Hollywood is Access Hollywood. And there's a reason why, you know, these videos do well. It's like it applies to everybody. Yeah, it's pop culture. I mean, how can you not talk about the Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:04:36 She's dropping bombs in bed and stuff. That's going to be stuff. That's fascinating stuff. Absolutely. It is funny that it's like, obviously, it is kind of, you know, it's other people's business and it's fascinating stuff. Absolutely. It is funny that it's like obviously it is kind of – it's other people's business and it's gossipy. Well, they put it out there though. It's not like – it's news. That's what's crazy about that.
Starting point is 02:04:53 The irony is that he was suing her for defamation of character because a lot of private details came out and he didn't want bad press. The irony is like now this guy brought it more better. You know what I mean? That was the initial suit. What do they call that? Is that the Susan Sarandon effect? Or the Barbra Streisand effect? What's that? Where it's like, Barbra Streisand, there was something, perhaps, can you look it up so I don't misquote it, but it was something
Starting point is 02:05:15 along the lines of, like, Barbra Streisand didn't want something out, so she sued to keep it in. And then, ironically, she brought it out. It becomes, like, a massive, something no one really cared about. Everyone had forgotten about. And then she's like, soon it was like,
Starting point is 02:05:28 it's, I believe it's a Streisand effect. I'm not sure. I feel like I've heard that phrase before. That's exactly. It's a phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide or move or sensor information that is an unintended consequence of increasing awareness or information. You nailed it.
Starting point is 02:05:42 That's exactly what happened here. When you delete a tweet, when you try to, you know, it's like by deleting it, now there's screenshots and everybody's going to, you know. Exactly. The best way to do it is just, you know, go through the fire. If it's out there, like, just deal with it. But what I can't believe about those two is, like, the mutually assured destruction here. They're both just launching nukes. They both could have just said, let's just break up
Starting point is 02:06:08 and stop talking. And instead, both of their careers are going to be harmed. I respect it, because I'm the latter. And you're kind of just stewing it for the rest of your life. They're getting it out. Let's just blow this up. We'll get Margot Robbie in to do Pirates of the Caribbean.
Starting point is 02:06:23 And figure it out I'll sacrifice my time on Aquaman 2 I think it was let's blow it up, let's have a public fight it's the number one unintended reality show I think and you know what is sad about that is there are some serious and scary
Starting point is 02:06:40 and you know bad things going on on both sides but it does kind of become like a, oh my God, did you hear what happened in court today? People are joking about it. It's like on both sides. I saw, what's Kanye's girl's name? Julia Fox said that Amber Heard was not abusive
Starting point is 02:07:00 because she never had any power because she's not physically strong enough to have power. I was like, this day and age, brother, this is all you need to have power. You could be 5'0", 100 pounds. You got more power than anybody with this thing. She's funny. That's a crazy thought.
Starting point is 02:07:17 Julie Fox? Yeah, she's a wild one too because I feel like she just got thrust into the spotlight all of a sudden. It's like, oh, I'm famous now. Yeah, she does. You see what she went shopping in other day right no oh she was like in a bikini with like uh a denim shirt it was it was it was it was it was underwear which is bikini but it was technically underwear
Starting point is 02:07:35 oh was it technically yeah that's the headline i saw and then it was just like a denim almost like a duster like i'm always i feel i feel like i like I'm slacking on my news. I should have known that. I mean, that's like even she did like crazy makeup for one of these events, and someone was like, who did your makeup? And she was like, me. I did it. And they were like, yeah, we know. We can tell.
Starting point is 02:07:59 I'm sure you know this. There's a good or a right way to be famous. You know what I mean? People are good at it, and people are bad at it. You know, I mean like you look at the Kardashians, it's like they have
Starting point is 02:08:08 perfected being famous and then there are some people who don't know what the fuck they're doing. Exactly. I think that's one of the, probably the, a beautiful thing
Starting point is 02:08:17 about American at the same time, you don't necessarily need any sort of talent or substance or anything to sort of contribute other than if you can create some sort of brand or energy that really resonates with people, you're able to capitalize on it. So I guess that's an awesome thing.
Starting point is 02:08:34 Yeah. Well, it's like you say they don't have talent. That's what everybody always says, right? But it's like – I wasn't specifically talking about that. No, no. But in general. People say that.
Starting point is 02:08:43 They don't even have talent. And it's like, well, at the end of the day, what entertains people and what people want is the market. The people set the market. You know what I mean? Exactly. You used to have to be able to sing really well or act really well or play sports or whatever. And now there's this new thing where it's like being me is what you want to see. You know what? I'm very jealous of this generation because you can literally learn anything you want without having to go to school. You can go to YouTube. Literally. You can learn anything you want to see. You know what? I'm very jealous of this generation because you can literally learn anything you want
Starting point is 02:09:06 without having to go to school. You can go to YouTube, literally, and learn anything you want. You can create your own sort of platform and generate a revenue stream for yourself at a really young age. It's like these kids who are making millions of dollars are opening toys.
Starting point is 02:09:17 What the hell? It is nuts. This is the best time to be a young person and to take control of your life and to really try to not have any excuses and to make money. Although, isn't there a part of it? And obviously, look, if I could go back to childhood and get millions of dollars to open presents, I'd love that. But there's a little part of it where it's like, oh, we just ripped your childhood away. Right.
Starting point is 02:09:39 Turned you into an adult. You're six years old. Guess what? Now you're an adult. Now you're the breadwinner in the house. Yeah. You're going to get emancipated because you're going to
Starting point is 02:09:47 fight with your parents. What we always say too is that everything becomes a job eventually no matter how much you love it it becomes a job. You think sometimes
Starting point is 02:09:53 six-year-olds are getting up like, I don't want open presents. Having a morning coffee like, God damn. This fucking toy. The shit-tasting factory.
Starting point is 02:10:02 The factory, I guess. I think when that six-year-old goes out and plays with their new motorized car in the yard, they're going to be all right. They're nine. They pour a little whiskey in it. It's just a slog. My kid, he's four, and he's, at least it seems to me, really good at Nintendo Switch. I lost it so quick. Like, I became an old man so quick where I'm like,
Starting point is 02:10:28 I can't even figure out the buttons. And he's, like, ripping through it. And I'm like, let's go. Keep playing, man. We're going to get you on Twitch soon. That's a whole other thing. You can be a professional gamer. Whoever would have thought?
Starting point is 02:10:37 I'm telling you, like, this generation, this era, it's pretty incredible. It's like, you want to go outside and, you know, have a catch, Dad? No, we're playing video games in the dark. Let's make that money, son. It wouldn't work. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 02:10:48 So do you think that you'll ever age? Do you think that will happen? Do you think that you're immortal? Have you found youth? What the fuck is going on, dude? How do you look younger now? I drink a lot of tequila. I think it does have embalming fluid sort of magic in it.
Starting point is 02:11:09 I don't know, man. I guess kind of lucky and stuff. My parents look pretty good for their age, I guess. Earlier today, we were talking to each other, and we were kind of trying to gas each other up. We were talking about how we were both having a bad week, and we're like, dude, you've got a good face. And then we were really bad at gassing each other up.
Starting point is 02:11:26 I was like, I got a stupid fat face. No, man, your face is nice. And then you walked in and we're both like, we just lied to each other a lot. This is what I really. Oh, man. I'm sure you take care of yourself, right? But I just fuck you at the end of the day. That is a fun thing, too, always asking people, like, how do you look so good? It's like I do the opposite of what you do every day.
Starting point is 02:11:56 I eat healthy. I work out. Did you have three cookies for lunch? Yeah, I didn't. I mean, outside, I do like to train. I like to do jiu-jitsu, and I like to box and exercise and stuff, but I'm not counting any calories or anything. I like to drink, and I like to have some cigars and stuff.
Starting point is 02:12:15 How about this? How about marry, fuck, kill your hair, your face, your body? You've got to either be bald. Oh, I like this. You've got to either be bald, like an ugly face, or fat. You've got to get one of bald. Oh, I like this. You got to either be bald like an ugly face or fat. You got to be one of us. Yeah. Well, I'm married now, so this is different if I was single.
Starting point is 02:12:31 If I'm married now, I'm good with all three. Single grass can be single. I feel like hair plays in a big way. Once you start to get older, if you still have a head of hair, you're ahead of the game. However, I feel like some dudes actually look better with the hair shaved. I feel like if you have a good tan, nice teeth, and you can work out, you can pull off
Starting point is 02:12:51 without the bald look on it. Look at the rock. You can be like a little mini rock. You can be bald like it looks good. But flip side, I feel like you could have your in-shape and a head of hair and your faces. As long as you're not like mangled teeth you're good at that too i think girls just want to be able to like run their hands through
Starting point is 02:13:10 your hair and you're not you're not overweight good to go i i had someone tell me like way back in day bar so we were like i was probably 23 or 24 and uh we were on i might even younger we had this thing called the blackout tour we'd go go to colleges and we'd have these big techno parties. Yeah. And I had a girl come up to me and she did the hand through the hair thing and she's like, I'll tell you, you don't usually see a guy your age with a full head of hair. And it was the most insulting. I was 22.
Starting point is 02:13:36 Because she thought you were. Just the rest of me screamed like 35. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. I was like, I just went with it. I was like, yeah. Yeah. It's like literally every time.
Starting point is 02:13:48 We were Iowa State or something like that. I was like, there's a chance you're a super senior and I'm younger than you. That's great. That hurts, though. It's like literally everyone my age has hair, babe. Right. Oh, man. That's crazy.
Starting point is 02:14:00 I'm lucky. I'm lucky. I still got the hair, though, but I'm not going to lie. There might be some just For Men up in there. Yeah. You know what? You got that little salt and pepper, though. It works.
Starting point is 02:14:09 That's because I got Just For Men, keeping it real, or else I'd be looking like Anderson Cooper. That ain't bad, though, man. I don't know, though, man. I'm not ready for that. No? Once you go, you can't go back. Yeah, but see, I mean. You guys are like, you don't have a machine to deal with, but I'm like pulling it out there.
Starting point is 02:14:23 Just a little bit. It's starting to come in. Kev gets it in his beard. You know what I deal with, but I'm like real – I'm like pulling it out there. Just a little bit. It's starting to come in. Kev gets it in his beard. Yeah, I get greys here. I feel like if I – as long as I have the hair, it could be salt and pepper. It could be full silver fox. I think it actually looks kind of cool.
Starting point is 02:14:41 It's just about having it. You know what I mean? It could be purple, green, whatever. As long as it's there, brother. Yeah, man. I agree. Let's keep those genes going then, right? So, I mean, what other – if you're doing daily and Hollywood every night, I mean, is that just – that's it? It's just like –
Starting point is 02:14:57 So I'm doing Access Daily and Access Hollywood every day. And then prior to that, I have a nationally syndicated radio show I do as well called On With Mario on iHeart. And we're over in other markets and stuff. And it's essentially the same kind of show. We're talking about pop culture and what have you. That one, though, I would say it's probably the one I get to be the most me because it's an intimate format like this. We're talking. You're talking more personal, what I did last night kind of thing and how you feel.
Starting point is 02:15:22 And my wife comes in a couple days a week uh we banked a lot of the shows it's funny because we had other women come in when we were testing out like a co-host they needed to for the sponsorships what have you and the audience didn't like when like the other women were were teasing me or giving me a hard time they didn't respond well but for some reason they left when they love when my wife was coming in and breaking my balls i love that lucky you yeah exactly i'm Lucky you. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, great. Let's bring this guy's wife in. She's going to bust his balls forever now. The audience loves it. Exactly.
Starting point is 02:15:49 Fortunately, it's only a couple days a week. So yeah, so there's the radio, Access Daily, and Access Hollywood. And then I'll squeeze in other stuff. I just did a holiday movie. We were in Nashville for a few weeks. Oh, you're perfect for those. Great. You crushed those.
Starting point is 02:16:03 I got kids now. Easy peasy too right light work we were in Nashville which is a great city that's a lot of fun we were at the
Starting point is 02:16:12 comedy festival it was awesome it was fun every bar every floor on every bar is a band it's crazy
Starting point is 02:16:18 as you walk down Broadway it's like I love that song that's my favorite song we had the most Nashville interaction when we were there we were at a bar one night Wednesday night we'll call it and this woman comes up walk down Broadway it's like I love that song that's my favorite song we had like the most natural interaction when we were there
Starting point is 02:16:26 we were at a bar one night Wednesday night we'll call it and this woman comes up to us and she was she was from
Starting point is 02:16:31 Boston and she was very Boston where she's like holy fuck I fucking love Boston we were like oh okay
Starting point is 02:16:39 nice to see you it's like this is fucking nuts she was I can't believe I'm seeing you guys right now I just puked in the bathroom Nashville's wild like the whole run she goes I can't believe I'm seeing you guys right now I just puked in the bathroom
Starting point is 02:16:45 Nashville's wild like the whole run she went on was the most perfect Nashville interaction she just threw up in the bathroom nice
Starting point is 02:16:53 can I take a picture I was like I suppose so you took her home yeah so speaking of wives that one's coming out in first week of December on Lifetime. That's called Stepping Into the Holiday
Starting point is 02:17:07 because there's a lot of dancing in it. It's romantic and all that. I'll do stuff like that. We're developing this other animated project at the moment. I don't think I can talk about that yet. There's a lot of other stuff I'll do outside of that. That's stuff I do during the day. You need to basically fight Seacrest to the death.
Starting point is 02:17:24 It's you two. It's the two hardest working men in Hollywood. Oh, there can only be one, man. I feel very blessed, man, to be as busy as I have being a former child actor, right? Yeah. It is. I mean, you're one of the more,
Starting point is 02:17:37 probably the most successful ever, to be honest. Oh, thanks, man. It's a hard transition to make, right? You know, it's funny that you mentioned Seacrest too because we used to live in the same apartment complex. Oh, wow. For like a hard transition to make, right? You know, it's funny that you mentioned Seacrest, too, because we used to live in the same apartment complex. Oh, wow. For like a good seven years. Shit.
Starting point is 02:17:49 Yeah, when he just moved from Georgia. At what age is this? Damn, what were we? We were in our 20s. It was in the 90s. No kidding. So at that point, you've already had fame, but at that point, at that point, he's not – he hasn't done American Idol. I mean I just done – I was doing a Saturday morning show in Save the Bell, right?
Starting point is 02:18:08 Right. But he – yeah, he was a radio DJ as well and he had just – it was a few years and he had just gotten American Idol after that. But yeah, we live in the same complex. Dude, is that how old American Idol is? Dude, American Idol has been on like 20 years or something. Really? Crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:18:23 Yeah, probably at least, right? I mean – Because it took a little break for a while, remember? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It took a little break and then it came back on ABC. been on like 20 years or something really crazy yeah yeah probably at least right i mean because it took a little break for a while remember yeah a little break and then it came back um on abc but i just thought it was funny imagine because we used to have the same apartment complex it's it's crazy thinking about like super famous people such as yourselves living in an apartment complex like it feels like fake like you like you were taking like the garbage down to like the garbage room like i lived i lived in a lot of people lived in that one too.
Starting point is 02:18:45 It was called Park Point. It was in Burbank. And I remember – so Seacrest was there. Jennifer Love Hewitt was there. Days of Our Lives cast was there. This is like a reality show. It's like a joke. There was a lot of hot girls there.
Starting point is 02:18:58 I bet. It was like Melrose Place. Yeah. We were like, yeah. That was fun. I was single. That was fun. Terry was there.
Starting point is 02:19:04 There was a bunch of there was a bunch of people there at that particular i don't know why i don't know as like if you're you know young this is the first hype katiana lee they're coming to me now from fresh prince a lot no a lot of people were there and all the guys hang out or is it yeah we'd have like there there was like a big common area and everybody would um kind of party around that common area and i the only reason i think a lot of people live there is because it was really geographically convenient to the studios. Like it was right by Universal Studios, Warner Brothers. Sure, sure.
Starting point is 02:19:31 It was just right by there, and it just so happened like we all – yeah, those were good times. Like, hey, Jennifer, hey, Tatiana, meet me in the courtyard. We're going to have a bottle of wine. That's unreal. Describe a college dormitory because they're really famous people. That was my college experience. Yeah. University of Park people. That was my college experience. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:19:46 University of Park Point. That's wild. I mean, that had to be a fun time, yeah. That was fun. That was fun, man. Pre-social media, pre, you know, what do you call it? Smart phone. I mean, what do you think Saved by the Bell would have been like?
Starting point is 02:20:03 Like Saved by the Bell fame? I know it kind of happened a little bit after the fact, right? We've talked about that before where in the first initial run, it wasn't this phenomenon that it became. But if you were like doing the child actor thing with a popular show like that under the microscope of social media, I mean – Well, that wouldn't have been – That wouldn't have been good. I mean I probably would have been a lot more uh savvy about it so therefore careful about it but um just thank god it wasn't around it's so funny everybody from like the previous era says that like oh i would be dead by now or like they
Starting point is 02:20:36 would have fired me or you know whatever i mean i wasn't acting a fool like doing stupid shit but i just would have it would have got in a lot of trouble relationship wise. Yeah. Let's just say. But I feel like you got to have that sort of run because then you appreciate where you're at now. Because after a while,
Starting point is 02:20:54 because I started young, so that, you know, after a while it gets a little redundant and, you know, it gets a little, you know.
Starting point is 02:21:00 Putting aside, like obviously your life now with your wife, kids, I mean, obviously that's like, you know, the best. What was, like, your favorite time period of life?
Starting point is 02:21:09 Is it Saved by the Bell? Is it that time? Is it once you started doing this? Probably, yeah, probably mid-90s, like, 94 to 2004. That's a good run. That's a great run. That's a great run. Also, the run started before. We're talking like prime Tom Brady.
Starting point is 02:21:32 Also, having a 10-year prime is fucking really nice, man. Yeah, those 10 years. I always said, to me, people say college is the best four years of your life. And I loved 22 to 26 way more than 18 to 22. I liked college. It was fine. But afterwards, having a little bit of money working, living in the city with who I wanted to live with, no dorm rooms, real apartments, kind of in a little bit more control of your life, but still young enough to be like an idiot and have no responsibilities and bills. That was the best for me, you know?
Starting point is 02:22:07 And I'd imagine doing all that with some fame under your belt and all that it was probably fun. Collecting rings is an interesting way to put it. I always reference this article that was in like, I think it was the Hollywood Reporter I always forget, but it was basically how social media killed the party scene in LA. And I guess
Starting point is 02:22:23 there was one woman who owned a bunch of bars and it's kind of her talking about what the scene was like and how like she's like we'd have a line outside and like Justin Timberlake would go outside and just pick who he wanted to come in like there wasn't anything you could do and she always described this one scene in one of her bars and she might have made it up I don't know but she's like one night we had like Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis in a bench uh a booth, Jay-Z on stage, Beyonce and her girls dancing, Prince in the back. He was just drinking water or whatever. And it's this whole crazy scene. And just no one ever has a picture of it.
Starting point is 02:22:55 And it couldn't exist now because there would be nothing. No one would be enjoying it. It would be all cameras out. I remember many nights like that. And I'm like, damn, I wish I had. I remember, it's funny you say that because I remember one night too.
Starting point is 02:23:07 I did see Jay-Z right there and I remember Ben Affleck, Vince Vaughn, DiCaprio. They were all at the same bar right off of Sunset. That one, fuck,
Starting point is 02:23:17 right across the street from where the sushi spot is now. No, no, not bar one. It was down, gosh damn it. It's like an Asian restaurant right now. Fuck, I can't remember the name of it right now. But it was down um gosh damn it don't worry that it's like an asian restaurant right now fuck i can't remember the name of it right now but it was i remember vividly all those faces yeah and that's a bomb squad yeah but like you know randomly they were like in little pockets
Starting point is 02:23:34 yeah at the club but i'd walk around and like i'd see all these faces and it was like and you'd see that often but now you would i don't think you'd ever see that because people are so afraid i know not like they were doing anything wrong. Just hanging out and having fun. I was going to say, it's not even about – we deal with it on a crazy small scale, obviously. Well, it used to be across the road in Roxbury. That's what it was. The one that was across the street.
Starting point is 02:23:55 That one – you're not talking about this. You're talking about my godmother. Fuck, roll. I can't remember. But you feel like it just changes how your night's going because you just feel the camera on you yeah whether or not you're doing anything bad
Starting point is 02:24:06 it's just like this is uncomfortable sure I mean you feel it on you and you feel like it might be perceived different like
Starting point is 02:24:12 a girl might be asking excuse me you know what time it is I lean into here and then all of a sudden oh I'm making out or like who's this girl
Starting point is 02:24:18 he's flirting with so you know what I mean you just you just got it people don't care about the truth they just don't worry about it later
Starting point is 02:24:24 that's what's one going viral right now with Luka Doncic is at a bar. He's got a beer in his hand. And it's like today. And people are like, someone put it out. And it's like midday, Luka drinking a beer. And the Mavs had to put out a statement being like, no, that was yesterday. Because he's playing tonight.
Starting point is 02:24:38 You can make it look however you want to make it look. Was, I mean, I'm sure there's tabloids always, right? Yeah. But like, did it is it did it ramp up like is the tmz era and because of the internet like i mean it probably had to be like a photographer running around with a camera or maybe a writer but now it just feels like anybody can take a picture and submit it to dumois and submit it to you know you know what's funny is like that's the one thing back in the day there used to be a lot of paparazzi.
Starting point is 02:25:05 Right. A lot of paparazzi running around because nobody had the smartphones, right? So you just kind of, you wanted to avoid that going through the back or whatever. That was always cool and I didn't care
Starting point is 02:25:12 because I'm not doing anything so what does it matter? But now that's gone because everyone's sort of a paparazzi. Right. It's like they have a street team doing it for you. Right.
Starting point is 02:25:19 Or just people in there and they'll submit it and then they'll also, everybody, you know, is their own little sort of paparazzi. And you like to think there was at least some form of vetting or some form of editorial with the paparazzi you're like well that doesn't really yeah that i mean i guess maybe not maybe maybe i'm completely a little honor amongst thieves maybe like a you know like we'll we'll take your pictures but we'll do it right if you give me a shot exactly there
Starting point is 02:25:39 was cool there was a lot of that going and now there's certain parties you can go to and i've been to a few um they make you uh hand in the phone and they put it in like a yeah zip it up whatever kind of deal you know and secure thing you get at the end some people still manage to kind of maybe get phones because there was a couple shots come out but for the most part that's how you know you know it sounds like a pretty good party there mario well that's just standard now you know they'll make you do stuff that is i've been to shows like that. I have not been invited to a party like that.
Starting point is 02:26:09 It's like, how about you get to keep your phone and just don't be a dick? Because I don't want to have to take your phone from you because I'm sure you want to call your friend or your wife or text or whatever. Yeah, I got kids. What if my kid needs me? I got an emergency or something. We went to the 9-11 at Madison Square Garden. They had this incredible comedy lineup for 9-11, the 20th anniversary.
Starting point is 02:26:30 And Dave Chappelle was part of it. And Dave always makes people put their phones away. But Dave's usually on stage for like one hour. This was like a four and a half hour show. And I hate to say it, but I was like, I don't think I can put my phone away for four and a half hours. Like work, kids. And I probably could and everything, but I was like, I don't think I can put my phone away for four and a half hours. Like, work, kids. Right. And I probably could and everything will be fine, but maybe not.
Starting point is 02:26:49 Sure. And it's just not the way the world works anymore. But how about I get to keep it and I just promise not to put your shit on the internet. Exactly. But I know that there's plenty of people who you can't trust. Yeah, unfortunately. It's just the world is a different place now, man. It is a different place, man.
Starting point is 02:27:02 You're right do you uh who who is uh who would you say is like the saved by the bell kids now is there a show or a or a crew that stranger things stranger things maybe yeah is there like i mean there's so much content now and so like the thing about saved by the bell it was a saturday morning show and that's the only time you could because it was before the disney channel so that's the only time you could see like young kids So we're really the only ones kind of of that era right yeah And then after years later the Disney Channel came and now there's a bunch of content and YouTube and all the kids Kind of out there, but I don't know as far as I would say stranger
Starting point is 02:27:37 I mean it's like it's ridiculous. It's a completely different show sure right, but they're all as far as a young cast And it's a young cat and And they're also all crazy famous. All of them are individually famous. You know what? They're all grown up now, too. They're a lot older. When the season four trailer came out, I was like, oh, they're 30 now. They're adults.
Starting point is 02:27:52 11 is 18. Yeah. But usually I feel what happens with a lot of those shows is they're cute when they're a kid, and then they get to that puberty level or that teenage level, and a lot of people are like, oh, you're not cute anymore you know what i mean you guys were all like good uh likable teenagers types you know what i mean there wasn't like as you guys aged i feel like people still just like enjoyed it it wasn't the it wasn't you know it wasn't like oh i only liked him when he was you know in the first couple seasons now he's kind of whatever you guys all
Starting point is 02:28:23 i don't know you're all good looking, you're all likable, whatever it was. That cast, it all worked. I'm surprised it lasted or was even on air so much because it was really for little kids. Because like I said, it was Saturday morning, so really little kids. It was very vanilla and very silent. And the guy who ran it, Peter Engel,
Starting point is 02:28:41 he was like a strong born-again Christian. He had no cussing signs on set. Really? No way, really? But you dabbled a little Engel, he was like a strong born-again Christian. He had like no cussing signs on set. Really? No way, really? But you dabbled a little like, you know, there was some – Oh, that was his rules. Those were our rules. I had to play along, but that's how we rolled.
Starting point is 02:28:52 That's why it was so – Like wholesome and all that. Yeah. Well, that's what I remember when people found out – I don't know his real name. The actor who played Mr. Belding. Dennis Haskins. When like there was some videos and pictures of him partying or cursing or whatever. He's just a regular adult male.
Starting point is 02:29:09 And you're like, oh, my God, this guy gets down. Yeah, he was probably the biggest kid. Oh, Dennis, he was cool. Well, I mean, you turned it into. The juxtaposition with that, too, is because we interviewed Saget a few times. And he was always like, no, I wasn't as blue. Although, I do disagree with him on times. He used to go pretty hard. He's like, I wasn't as blue as, although like I do, I do disagree with him on times. He used to go pretty hard.
Starting point is 02:29:27 He's like, I wasn't as blue as they said I was. It's just with the juxtaposition of me being Danny Tanner versus a standup comic is a big difference. I think the same way, like I'm the principal
Starting point is 02:29:36 versus I'm like, a guy likes to have some beers. Yeah. I'm not a crazy party. I do think, I think he was once on My Girl Got Wild or something though.
Starting point is 02:29:43 It was like, I think he did some crazy shit at some point. I maybe you know don't hold me to that but i do remember being like or like a almost like a celebrity boxing thing before we did it or whatever yeah i think he did i think he did i think we did yeah screech rest in peace he did a um celebrity boxing thing yeah yeah i mean you know, got to capitalize as long as you can, man. Well, speaking of that, we have a 90-star capitalizing today, Carmen Electra with her OnlyFans. Carmen joined OnlyFans.
Starting point is 02:30:15 Dude, Carmen got on OnlyFans today. Wow. I pulled it up. I saw a post. You can subscribe for free. And then it said for $50 there you can see full frontal. And I clicked it. I spent the 50 bucks.
Starting point is 02:30:31 And I saw it was not. I saw a quick couple nipples through. She had like a robot. It certainly is not full frontal as far as what I describe as full frontal. And it was 50 bucks. And I'm sure there are a lot of other people who did the same thing I did. And I think she's going to make so much money. And if this is any indication,
Starting point is 02:30:52 I don't think she's going to do much for it. God bless her, man. I mean, the 80s baby, 90s kid in me saw that and was like, holy shit. I was like, sign up. Let me, you know. I was like, right away shit i was like sign up let me you know i was like right away i was already signed up but but i was like sure like whatever let me check it out but you know
Starting point is 02:31:12 i actually wonder though as much as i say that you know you see a bad baby made 50 million dollars you know her again going back to my only in america kind of you know right but i i wonder if she actually has a better you know, it's like we know Carmen, but the younger generation might not know or care, and maybe those are the people who are really going to spend the money on OnlyFans. If Bad Baby
Starting point is 02:31:35 makes way more than Carmen Electra, I'll riot. You kids don't understand. Bad Baby seems to be making a lot more than a lot of people. If that figure is accurate. 50 million. Yeah, I mean, you know, she put out screenshots. More than Steph Curry. I was going to say, except for I think Aaron
Starting point is 02:31:51 Rogers, his new deal is like a little bit over 50 or something like that. But maybe not even. I think she makes more. No, it's like 51. So it's like, I think every other major league, every other professional league, there's nobody making as much money as she made this year. That's unbelievable. From a single Dr. Drew appearance.
Starting point is 02:32:07 I know. Dr. Phil, I'm sorry. And she doesn't get nude either. It's all like, it's close to it, but it's not. Just for being hood. I know. You know what? That's all it took.
Starting point is 02:32:21 We interviewed him shortly after that. And he was like, at that stage, he was like, I'm sorry. I should not have put that out into the world. Now it's like 50 million. She was kind of famous. Was she nominated for an AMA
Starting point is 02:32:36 or a music award? I think she did put out a platinum record. I think it went platinum. I don't know if it was winning awards. It's wild. Not that what we do is I think it went platinum. I don't know if it was winning awards, but she – people – I don't know. And I'm sitting here. I'm like, you know, not that what we do is like we're not writing scripts or doing anything heavy work-wise, but it is like I'm trying. I'm grinding.
Starting point is 02:32:55 And it's like, god damn it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, hey. I should just be like go viral being an asshole and hope that maybe I'll get naked for you. I don't know. Whatever, dude. You got a couple minutes to shoot a quick YouTube video next time
