Today, we're talking Emmys. Not the real Emmys. Our Emmys. The good ones. Those make sense. Watchlist Emmys.

Because everybody knows the actual Emmys stink! It's, I mean, they actual Emmys Stink It's I mean Stink out loud It's so easy To just understand that In the fact that It's always sunny in Philadelphia

They nominated In 13 God damn it Not even nominated It's been 15 years Not even nominated 13 seasons 15 years

Nay A nomination There's All of them They should be the entire Cast for like Funniest comedic actor All of them. They should be the entire cast for like funniest comedic actor.

All of them. Best show. Every time. They should be across the board sweeping. They don't even get a fucking nomination.

So we're here to do justice for the shows like Sunny and to fucking put down the shows like the Big Bang Theory and these things that constantly win

year after year after year. It's very, very frustrating to to me to the point where like serenity now a little angry roll my sleeves up so i'm getting hot i'm getting hot i'm getting hot i feel like a wave of heat right now all right so we're gonna do first of all part of the problem with the emmys is categories so we're gonna hit you with some new categories number one being comfort tv this is the best. So we're going to hit you with some new categories. Number one being comfort TV. This is the best comfort TV on television. This is probably the most important category. Most important. That's why we

watch television. To get away from life and to be comforted. But like, even more than that, it's like, stuff that makes you feel home. Yeah. Like, I just feel nice watching this. This is, it's relatable, and it's familiar, and it makes me, it makes me feel good and relaxed. Like, for honest,

for instance i feel like i have a like a literal physiological connection to the office i hear the do-do-do do-do-do-do-do and like fucking with melatonin or whatever gets released my serotonin gets released in my brain i'm happy it's like uh you've always said that um love is comfort and silence and that's kind of what the comfort TV is, where it's, you don't feel the need to be totally in. Like, you're cool just chilling in your living room with this show.

You can come in and out of it. I can do whatever the fuck I want. I can play on my phone a little bit. I don't have to be totally engaged with you at all times. We are adult enough, both of us, you and the television show, to understand that, look, we love each other. We're good.

I'm going to fade in and out. I'm going to be fucking on my laptop while we're talking this this is perfect the comfort tv is the open relationship it's like we're you know i really really enjoy your company but i can't commit to anything we're gonna see other people we're still gonna really enjoy our time like when it comes down to what i need when i need it need it you're there for me yeah i got you so number one there is The Office rounding out the rest of the category Modern Family a show

Modern Family is people might roll their eyes at that one Modern Family I stay in on Friday nights now for the USA Modern Family Marathon I mean I don't know

about that that was a sad statement I'll say it all the time sometimes if my drug deal comes over I'll change the channel. Is that so cool? Yeah, man, I was just watching.

I put on diehard, bro. I put on baseball. All right, he's out. Watching the game. Phil, what fucking hijinks are you getting into now? Listen, if you can watch the Clive Bixby episode of Modern Family and not tell me you're not comforted by that, get the fuck out of here. You can turn on Modern Family, whether Luke

is a little boy or a creepy college kid, whether Lily's not even alive or whether she's in seventh grade, whether Sarah Hyland was like, I don't even know if you're legal yet, to like, ah, bonafide smoke! When the other one went from totally normal to completely fucking crazy, every single time, Modern Family comforts you

and gets the job done. 30 Rock, I mean, what can John say further about 30 Rock at this point? 30 Rock's one of the funniest shows in history. I was watching it again. I'm, like, re-going through it. And goddamn, like, Dennis Duffy is so fucking, everyone, everyone's so funny. That clip I tweeted the other night, we're going to put it in here. When they're talking about the cops, just play it.

Roll the clip. And I'm going to show it to you right now, real quick. This is, I've watched this 20 times since I... Why is it the foreign time where the muggers were black? They weren't muggers, they were cops. They're cops. I mean, it's fucking funny. It's a great show.

It's a fucking funny show. It's a funny show. We also got Parks and Rec and Rounding It Out. I mean, the other show that challenges The Office, which we'll be breaking into further,

Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I mean, that's another one. When I hear the You're very good at TV. Near and dear to my heart, the theme song. Theme. I've been watching

Always Sunny since I was on the fucking Ram Band commuting from the Bronx to Manhattan at Fordham, okay? That's comfort. That's what's up.

I'm going, we're going to declare winners? Yeah, sure. Okay. The winner of the watch list, I don't know if it's going to

be unanimous. Okay. On three? One, two, three. Sunny. Yeah, see, I knew. It's The Office. It's The Office.

Because The Office also has just the Netflix factor, whereas everything else, people have to buy new things. I bought them all. I've got the Hulu. I've got the Amazon. I got it all. I spent $500 a month on TV. Fine.

That's all fine. You're right. You can watch it in every different way. I feel like the gang are my friends. Like, I don't really feel that way about The Office. My problem with the gang sometimes is, Comfort TV also has a lot to do with when you fall asleep. And sometimes the gang gets a little rambunctious.

You're in stitches. The Office is always just like... High energy, crazy. It's fine. The gang goes nuts five times an episode. Yeah. Whereas The Office, like, you'll have an occasional episode. And The Office has a little sentimentality, too.

Sometimes you're like, oh, before you go to bed. Most outsti... What are we calling it? Best. Best show. Best TV show. Best show. You got Game of Thrones, Westworld, Fargo, Handmaid's Tale, and my sleeper creeping in at the buzzer.

Newest show, Yellowstone. I think... I mean, I'm going to go Thrones here because you have to go Thrones here. Yeah, I guess so. But Yellowstone is... Woo-hoo-hoo, buddy. Yellowstone is so fire.

Yellowstone is so good. Anything else on there, I don't know what to give a fuck about. Westworld, I didn't even finish the season. Westworld kind of like, I lost me. Loved the first season. Second season didn't hold me. Fargo is fine. I think Far didn't hold me. Fargo is

fine. I think Fargo is always fine. Fargo is great. I think it's pretty good. I'm never going to give it an award. What I'll say, Handmaid's Tale, never seen a show like that. That won last year, right? Yeah, I mean, it's been basically cleaning up nonstop. That show is like,

holy shit, this is some weird fucking, we're in a whole new world a whole different reality and it is some like jaw-dropping type shit but i'm gonna go yellowstone because i just i just haven't had that gut feeling of watching a show being like this is fire and everyone needs to watch it i've recommended shows we've given a seal of approval to many shows but yellowstone to me was like this shit goes I haven't felt that in a long time. And Thrones is like, you know,

Thrones is LeBron James. It's like, you can give the MVP to LeBron James. It is, it is. Thrones don't win every time, but I'm going to try to give something new here

and go Yellowstone. But I get so mad about that that I get into it. Like, it's Belichick. Belichick never wins coach of the year. Right. Belichick's been coach of the year

every single goddamn year. Right. And when he doesn't, I get mad. So I don't want to get upset the Thrones fans by knocking him. You can't be hypocritical. It's the only show That is

It's a It's a sporty event Every night Every time It's water cooler material For the next day at work Every single It's must talk about

Spoiler problems It's everything Every other show Especially like in the On demand days People like get to When they get to it Thrones is

Thrones is like Thrones is put down Your phone to the TV And when Thrones is fucking Back in the day When I used to like Sunday fun day Thrones is You don't Sunday fun day Because Thrones is like put down your phone and turn it off. Put it on TV. Thrones is fucking back in the day when I used to like Sunday fun day.

Thrones is you don't Sunday fun day because Thrones is on a night you gotta be in. Yeah you don't want to be drunk at night watching Thrones. That shit's hard.

Wrapping up with the watch list that means funniest show on TV. We already said Sonny. Sonny's being nominated again because it deserves multiple

nominations and multiple victories. Veep still just probably the funniest written show on television. BoJack Horseman, for all you animated fans out there. Atlanta, for all you non-white people out there. And Rick and Morty, for more of the animated crowd. Our guy Logan starts pumping his fist. I don't know Rick and Morty well.

I do know that it gave us the Seth Rogen comedy special clip. Which is... Roll that. That's fucking funny. So anybody, anything that inspires that, I gotta give them some love. My problem with Atlanta

is kind of, I've said it, it's the same thing as me with Insecure, where I just don't feel that I can relate, so I don't watch it. Season one was okay.

Season two, I feel like you had to really understand what was going on. I heard that season two wasn't very good. BoJack Horseman, I've been told a million times, is like the show for me. It is a show I would love, blah, blah, blah. I've tried it four times.

I don't think I've gotten past it. That's it. You've got to give it up. That's it. Listen, you know it. It's like a girl. It's like a relationship. You just know in your gut.

Is it for me? Is it not? I just don't really like cartoons. Even as a kid, I didn't really like cartoons. I liked Nick at Night. Johnny sophistication over here. It's not even about it. Apparently,

these shows are the most sophisticated shows on television. Rick and Morty's supposed to be genius and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, yeah, they all say that. A cartoon doesn't do it for me. I've never seen Finding Nemo. Never seen any fucking cartoons,

any of those new cartoons. Doesn't do it for me. I don't give a fuck. Shit's like 25 years old. Yeah, I was in high school people were trying to get me to sit down and watch it.

I said, well, thank you. If you think, let me tell you something, bud, if you think you're above Finding Nemo,

you got another thing coming. You're above nothing. I can't. You're above nothing. You know what the one cartoon I've watched probably in the last 10 years is Inside Out?

Hated the hell out of it. Yeah, that was very, very depressing. That's why. I didn't even find even find it depressing well it's because you have no feelings i actually found it i i found the exact opposite of the press i thought it was supposed to be like an inspiring story and then it was like how much did you cry so i didn't cry at all it's a happy movie it's because you were depressed yourself and it's like well that movie it's nothing compared to my everyday reality fuck you inside out on the. On the count of three, funniest show on TV.

One, two, three. Sunny. I mean, come on. You missed it. Come on. For all the reasons we just said, it's the funniest. It's the most consistent. It's been doing it forever.

The gang hasn't changed. Nothing has changed. Fucking nothing. No. You know, the storylines change. The relationships here and there change. Mac comes out. Dennis goes away.

Whatever. Dee's still a bird. Frank's still a scumbag. Charliehips here and there change. Mac comes out. Dennis goes away. Whatever. Dee's still a bird. Frank's still a scumbag. Charlie's still basically half homeless. Mac is a fucking weird Christian sex freak. Dennis is a rapist. That's it. And now, I think we've transitioned now from Emmys into Sunday season premieres last week.

Episode one, season 13. That's the most important part of the show. Everyone, people start falling off shows. You talk to anyone in the office, anyone in the office. After Jimmy and Pam got together, it was eh. Once Mike left, it was bad. I thought it was good all along, but that's beside the fact that you start to lose the masses when you start to change things. Sonny exists in a world where at the end of that half hour, everything resets.

Yep. They just grab a few beers behind the bar. They laugh. They make fun of themselves. They get very meta, and we do it again. Right. And that's why, to be honest, that's what separates them from all these other shows that do get nominated, is they don't take themselves too seriously.

So they're like, we're just going to do this funny-ass shit for 10 episodes every goddamn year until we're dead. We're not going to overdo it. We're not going to overextend ourselves. I feel like they even thought about getting rid of Dennis, and they were like, nah, let's just do it. Let's just bring him back.

I love the premiere episode. I think it's kind of gotten mixed reviews. I'm on the other side of things. I think it's mixed review for me.

I thought it was so great because I think first of all I think it was intentionally written to highlight how important Dennis is because I've said that for like five

years. It's been very noticeable that there isn't a star character. There isn't every single person is like an important pillar in sunny and you pull one there's a noticeable change in chemistry throughout the game yeah and it was clear in this episode when mindy kaling mindy kaling they were bless her i thought maybe she ain't the one even some things i thought they didn't they did differently charlie's going into his into his apartment and it just looks newer and fresher

in the hallway and like, maybe that's just not my sonny. Hashtag not my sonny. But I thought maybe that was some of the attitude to just kind of

fuck with your memory of that world, of that fake reality. And then, once Dennis comes back, it's a very, again,

noticeable shift in chemistry and everything. You're like, oh shit, it's the very, again, noticeable shift in chemistry and everything. You're like, oh shit, it's the gang now. They do it in such a ridiculous fashion too.

He literally just appears. Oh, hey, oh! I mean, they were joking about how he wasn't there the whole time. They were joking about Mac getting

diesel. I mean, Mac has put himself through absolute torture for a year straight for like four jokes in the premiere. That was it. Did you lose some weight?

Did you get some weight? Mac, you put a couple pounds on me. I mean, it is like the amount and the commitment they have to just doing their dumb shit. But even like if they think, I think that they did that, you know, the whole Mindy Kaling, make it different and make it kind of uncomfortable. Because they do. Sonny loves getting meta. No one loves explaining their own jokes more.

Yeah. And Sonny does it right. They hit the nail on the head with everything. Like even when Mindy Kaling is like they're like they're always yelling over each other

and she tries to get him to stop it. They're like no that's our thing. We just yell over each other it works for us. And they're just kind of like yeah we get what we're doing. But I thought they almost went

like they almost hit you over the head with it too much. I thought there was too many references to Mac getting in shape. I thought Mindy Kaling I thought there was too many references to Mac getting in shape. I thought Mindy Kaling was like, there's too many references to Dennis not being there. Mindy Kaling was almost forcing it too much. And they were joking about forcing it. It almost became too meta for me where I just want them to get back to, as good as they are about talking about themselves,

I want them to just get back to a funny episode, a funny plot with the gang doing hijinks. See, I laughed out loud like ten times that episode. I thought it was very... Again, I mean, we're talking... This is like when you're debating... It's uncomfortable for me.

I feel like we're forcing this here. Yeah. It's genius. I get it. I mean, we're splitting hairs here. It's like talking about, you know,

is this girl a nine and a half or a ten? She's still beautiful. It's still Sunny. But I thought that there was... It went a new direction and I think it's either for you or not necessarily for you

if you're an OG Sonny fan. Pitch Me, new segment here on Watchlist, Pitch Me. You've seen a show that we haven't watched yet. You want to pitch us, convince us to watch it, get at us. Today, Fights is pitching me. Kidding. Creepy show. I want no part of this show.

It's the new show on Showtime. It's Jim Car carrey first time on tv since he was an in living color um and since he made that kill her 1990 i think um people forget that okay um it's uh so it's basically mr rogers but dark it's basically Mr. Rogers, but dark. He is Jeff Piccolo, I think his name is. He's Mr. Pickles. He has a child children's show. I don't like any of this. And he does the whole thing.

He does the songs and he helps kids talk about feelings and stuff like that. He loses his son. His son dies in a car accident. One of his twin sons phil phil piccolo and mr pickles wants to do an episode about death to explain to the children what that's all about and that's kind of what this episode is but the show as a whole is you can tell this dude is fucking losing it he's been doing it for 30 years it's very much mr rogers they even have a scene where he's testifying in front of congress because mr rogers did that once it's very very much mr ro Rogers. They even have a scene where he's testifying in front of Congress because Mr. Rogers did that once. It's very, very

much Mr. Rogers, but just dark. And no one does that darkness like Jim Carrey. The whole time you're watching it, this is creepy. Because he's fucking so... Truman Show, Cable Guy, you see he's a guy who's happy and fun, but underneath him is a fucking maelstrom.

I can actually see this being very well done. I can see exactly what you described being true. I can actually see this being very well done. I can see exactly what you described being true. I can see it being a very good take on Mr. Rogers and showing the dark side of... There's one line in particular that stuck out to me, and it's his producer. I forget the actor's name, but he's like Frank Vilella

or something like that. You notice him. He's a very famous actor. But he's the producer of the show, and he's Mr. Pickles' dad. And he's telling Mr. Pickles, he's like, you can't do a show about death because you're an institution, you're this and that. He's like, you aren't one person. He's like, you're Mr. Pickles, and you're Jeff Picklello,

and those two should never meet. Never intersect, yeah. Because then it leads to the destruction of both. And I was like, oh, fuck yeah. That sounds dope. I like that. The only problem is I don't like Mr. Rogers. Never liked him as to the destruction of both. And I was like, oh, fuck yeah. That sounds dope. I like that. The problem is I don't like Mr.

Rogers. Never liked him as a kid. Don't like him now. I want no part of him. I like Mr. Rogers.

I don't want it. I don't like Mr. Rogers. It creeps me out. I don't have, I think you can not like Mr. Rogers and still

enjoy the show. It's a very good show. It's only a half hour or two, which is huge. For an hour it would be a little

long because it is the whole thing's tense. Every single scene of Jim Carrey trying to be nice, you're like, he's a fucking disaster in there. It's only a half hour or two, which is huge. For an hour, it would be a little long because it is, the whole thing's tense. Every single scene of Jim Carrey trying to be nice, you're like, he's a fucking disaster in there.

He's going to kill someone. Yeah. I mean, he's like, his dad's telling him his hair is in a shade of his fucking head and his wife,

his family's falling apart because they don't know how to deal with the grief of losing their son and it's going to fucking blow up. I will make a vow to watch anything that you pitch me on. But I'm telling you right now, I'm not going to like this show. Okay.

I will wrap up with LeBron James' new show, The Shop. A couple episodes in now. Kind of unprecedented stuff for a sports documentary type of TV show. We've seen incredible sports documentaries over the years for a long time now, but as far as a running show with a player of this caliber, I can't think of anything that compares.

I mean, like, Michael Jordan was so famous for never saying a goddamn thing about anything. Just stay out of it. Don't get political. Don't get social. LeBron is obviously very much the opposite of that, and he's showing that in the shop. And even right away.

People who dislike you are so fucking weird because it's showing that in the shop even right away. People who dislike you are so fucking weird because it's well he's rich. I mean LeBron James has still been dirt poor for a majority of his life. Absolutely.

He can speak to social issues that he felt as a kid. I think it's awesome because I think the Players Tribune is interesting but also when you read the Players Tribune

you're like you didn't fucking write this. Did you see Joel Embiid's recent one? No. It was the funniest goddamn blog I've ever read. You didn't fucking write that dude. Get out of here here he like and this is like it's coming from their

mouths maybe you know maybe they've had coaching or whatever right but this is like he's saying those fucking words on the fly basically no matter what he planned on saying that conversation goes a certain way i mean he came out right away and said i don't really know what i like white people i know it's gonna piss off some white people but you're having a very open conversation about you growing up and being introduced into white America for the first time

and being like, I don't really know how this is going to go. That's a wild amount of candid openness from a guy of his level. And it's, I mean,

he didn't say, I don't know, it was talking about when he was much younger. For that guy to be like, I don't fuck with white people in any context is fucking wild.

Yeah, it is. But yeah, it is to have the balls to say it, but like, you can't fuck with white people in any context is fucking wild. Yeah, it is. But yeah, it is to have the balls to say it. But like, I think you can very clearly understand a 14 year old thinking that. Yeah, absolutely. I'm not saying it's not understandable. I'm just saying most people of his stature would be like, I don't need to do this. But it's cool. It is kind of weird at some points where, first of all, having Jon Stewart on it is genius.

Just because, first of all, he's funny. Second of all, he's so good at just asking questions. I think in the first episode, there were three different occasions where he was like, shit, that's a good question. Because he just kind of knows people. Great interviewer. He knows how to do that shit. And it is a little weird because there are often times that a lot of people on screen just aren't talking. And it's a room of eight people.

And it's only a half hour show. I mean, it's a little bit like, when does this really? I mean, I know the idea is the barbershop where there are a lot of people, but it's like, there's not that many people all engaged in one conversation. It is a little bit,

obviously, of a setup. I think maybe it's, it's only those, they have two groups of people that kind of get changed out halfway through and I think maybe that's what the whole season is

and they just did a day in there and so at some point, you know, Michael Bennett will talk next time or whatever something like that but it's interesting I think it's like

they're very laid back they're actually getting their hair cut LeBron's getting his beard trimmed Draymond's sitting in the corner drinking wine

I thought Draymond he said about he's like yeah I think now you can say LeBron James is finally fucking here say I'm fucking

LeBron James because he's like he shied away from this stuff in the past and shit like that and I think again like I was saying about

the player's tribute I think there's almost a middle man where you don't believe that those are genuinely their words even though that was the player's tribute's

main goal I think this is like you're like listening to celebrities who you would never think talk like this talk like that explain their lives

I think it's fucking interesting as shit and LeBron swears LeBron's got a potty mouth he's like fucking Tom Brady Brady Brady swears. LeBron's got a potty mouth. He's like fucking Tom Brady. Brady swears all the time. No fucking adult.

He says fuck a lot. A regular fucking adult. Not some Disney character. Drops like N-bombs. I would think they did it. He's like, no, man. We're in the barbershop. Say the N-word. Jon Stewart's like.

Yeah. All right. That's it for Watchlist Wednesday today. Wrapping up. Best. As we do the watch the semis today there is only one nomination in this category for best reality tv show of the watch list there's one and only unanimous decision the jersey shore we got vinny and the situation sitting down with us to wrap up today's watch list we'll see you guys next week

all right let's do it. Another edition of The Watch List. We are now joined by Mike, The Situation, and my man, the Keto Guido. What's up? Vinny Gladino. Jersey Shore Season 2 is off and running. And I know you, Vinny. Mike, this is the first time I got to meet you. I missed you guys last time you came through.

But everybody said to a man, to a woman, that when you guys came through here, it was out of all the celebrities, athletes, entertainers that came through, the office was buzzing for the Jersey Shore more. I mean, the pictures that I saw, the whole fucking office, both floors, flocked down to you guys. I get the vibe when I walk in here. I think it's this specific demographic or something.

We grew up. It was a big deal when it happened. I don't know where we were because I wasn't here either that day, but there was at least one NFL athlete in the corner like he was a fucking nobody. Nick Mangold was just sitting there like what's going on? The Jersey Shore here, bro. Pipe down. It's wild, man.

I feel like everyone in these offices were the ones that were throwing Jersey Day parties in their dorm rooms. You know what I mean? Making events out of it. Dressing up like Guidos for Halloween. It was you guys. 2009-ish was when I started. I think the first season was 2010. And I'm

from New York. I grew up. I went to high school with guys that looked like that and acted like that. So I was like, what's the big deal? And everybody else was like, well, who are these people? Like it was, you know, aliens. Foreign species. There's a Snooki.

Yeah, I mean, you gotta remember that there's a whole chunk of the country that had never seen anything like that before. But everybody's now back for the family reunion season two. And listen, Vinny, we talked before talked before you were like you were kind of done with this jersey short thing it sounded like and now you're back probably i mean i was like probably talking about other projects that i was doing and i thought it was done i mean we all did we stopped talking i didn't talk to this guy for like five years really Really? Yeah. I had a big ego. I was not talking to nobody. Plus I had my own crazy,

I was just wild back then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then just over time, I never thought it would happen again, let alone that I think it would be happening in the exact same way. Yeah.

Like filming in that house, cameras 24 hours a day, all that shit. That's gotta be hard to go back to, right? It is and it isn't. I didn't think everybody was gonna agree to do it.

Yeah. I was willing to do it. Yeah, you probably asked me, you probably said, would you guys ever get back together? And I was probably like, I don't think everybody was going to agree to do it. I was willing to do it. You probably asked me. You probably said, would you guys ever get back together? And I was probably like, I don't know, maybe if I would. And then it started to happen. And then it started to happen. Stars aligned on that one.

I mean, you guys all happy to be back and do it? Or you feel like it's something like. Yeah, definitely. And I think the product that we're putting forth is a good product. You know, you get some realness, you know, funny stuff, you know, and some real stuff. So I'm very happy. Personally, from taking a break and watching it go away, I definitely appreciate it more now.

Yeah. Because I don't think people don't get this chance one time to be like on the biggest reality show of all time. To be part of Phenomenon, part of everything. And now we're back and we trend on Twitter every week again. Yo, I really don't. There's not much appointment TV that I'm like. I binge a lot of shit.

I watch On Demand, Netflix. Jersey Day is a thing for me. It still is. It's a big deal. It's like, fine. People are like, oh, it's back. We check the ratings every week. We're like, oh are like, oh, it's bad. We check the ratings every week and we're like,

oh man, hopefully we could be in the top and every week, every time it is. It's like you guys in Kaepernick just hold the number one credit. Controversy, man,

it works. I feel like at this point, even like, I noticed more so than ever when you're in your confessionals, like you guys let it fucking fly. Hell yeah, that's where we can shine. And then is it like, but then is it cool, when you're in your confessionals, like you guys let it fucking fly. That's where we can shine.

And then is it like, but then is it cool? Like when, when you watch, I was talking about people here. Yeah. Like, I mean,

I said something the other day that was just like, Ronnie's a fucking lunatic. Yeah. It's like, you laid it out there, but I feel like you guys are just so open at this point. It doesn't matter. Or is it like,

yo, I think we're all professionals at this point. We've been doing this TV thing for almost 10 years. um so so i understand if something has been said about me i probably deserved it so uh you know or we know like what the producer on the other end asked because a lot of times we're just like yeah ryan's a fucking idiot next question the uh we like because we tried to do our boss is a fucking madman and he kind of had this reality dream of this office

if you're outside we have cameras all over the place that have only been used really to catch cleaning people stealing from us somebody ate potato skins out of the garbage once but it hasn't been used like a reality type thing and then we have two confessionals over here too but everyone's always been scared to use them I don. But it hasn't been used for a reality type thing. And then we have two confessionals over here too,

but everyone's always been scared to use them. I don't think they've ever been used because no one wants to go and just open that box of worms. Right. After that, it's like, fuck. You guys are all committing to it. And as soon as I use it once, I'm the fucking target after that. If you guys really did a show,

there would be a production company that would do all that for you. They'd be like, here's money or whatever. Now listen to what we tell you. Not to do or say, but be like, here's money or whatever. Now listen to what we tell you. Not to do or say, but just like, you know, when you're,

you get put in situations where it's not a trap, like what's the word I'm looking for? No, it's an equation. Yeah,

you're put in an equation and you have to figure it out. Sometimes that might involve talking shit. I love, as long as everyone kind of agrees that they're all in the same boat, it's cool. We just understand. Sometimes that might involve talking shit. I love it. As long as everyone kind of agrees that they're all in the same boat, it's cool. We just understand.

Yeah, no, we understand. I mean, listen, I love doing confessional. I love doing interview. Those bites you guys see because it's a chance for us to really shine and say something funny. Some of the stuff catches and some of it doesn't. But that's like we know that's where our bread is buttered. When are you just going to be like in a professional roast at this point? I feel like the roasting back and forth is like— The roasting, we actually, during the off-season,

sometimes we call each other up and be like, is this one going to be good? He comes up with some good ones, this guy right here. Some material pre-rins. And to be honest, if Ronnie says something to me, I'll think about it for a week straight to four different roasts ahead of time to get his ass. The first minute he says it, I am ready, like popping off.

People are like, oh, shit, you got that shit ready. Well, also, I mean, like game and 10 years in, there's a lot of fucking material. Like in the beginning, it was like, oh, I'll make fun of like your shoes or the girl you were with. Now it's like, we can talk about your family. We can talk about this. There's a lot going on. This guy is a positive because his recovery. Yeah.

So it's hard for him because you still have to be responsible Ronnie takes the low hanging fruit I do practice taking the high road because if you argue with a fool

it only proves that there are two see that's a diss right there that's a diss and you'd be like you just called me a fool but that was inspirational I got it

you know what I mean like thank you. Mike the fucking fortune cookie over here. Speaking proverbs. I mean, I feel like we get like one one millionth of it where it's like we live pretty open book. You know what I mean? And I feel like I've gone through some shit where people are talking shit and trashing me. And it's kind of like, all right.

You got to just kind of take it sometimes. I feel like, you know, you know where you're at. You know what the deal is. Listen, the saltiness only seasons the sauce. See, that was another diss, and it was inspirational. You're either the smartest or the dumbest guy ever. I don't know which it is, man. I say the same shit to myself.

When I say stuff in quotes, they're like, they don't know whether to laugh or to be like, that was brilliant. I also just read it on Instagram. I actually do read quotes and bank them up here. If these are like Mike originals, I'd be like, I respect that. Let me see the notes app on your phone. But you know when to use them though. I'll give you that.

So Vegas was the location for this round, which, you know when to use them, though. I'll give you that. So Vegas was the location for this round, which, you know, I mean, that's, you talk about producers setting things up and just making it like, I mean, that's gasoline on the fire, right? Yeah. It's already like a produced place. Just ratchetness. Vegas was total ratchetness. I mean, Miami was like a nice fun vibe but as soon as you went to Vegas like it was just they were turning up and trying to like break up my engagement and stuff

I was just shocked I was shocked while they were kissing while Pauly was kissing his girl her hand was trying to rub my hand and I'm like what is happening right now in the elevator I was like is this real life you can't make this shit up.

We were enjoying the Canadians. Oh, yeah. I love Canadians. They're very friendly people. At this point, you just don't even care about basically... STDs? What? I work on it.

It was just like, fuck that girl. My family's going to see it. My friends are going to see it. Everybody's going to care about it. That was out the window the first season. Eight eight seasons later you're a family guy man like we know i mean i feel like i know your mom and your uncle and your father you know it's like yeah but my uncles and they didn't do that stuff they're 10 times worse than me i'm like a saint compared to compared to them so there are some awkward parts of the show that me and my mom probably don't

talk about like i won't go watch that episode with her. But it's just an unspoken thing. I told my mom not to watch the Italy season as I smashed my head into a concrete wall. We were just talking about that. I was like, it was one of the biggest miscalculations and that's the nicest way of saying it. I thought the wall was

sheetrock and it was actually cement. So the fight was over before it even started. Did you ever try to tell your parents, like, not to watch? Like, when I first started here, I told my mom, I was like, don't watch this.

The Italy one was just bad. The first season, you were like, let's fuck about with it. Oh, the first season, I was just being fun, you know, situation. Podcasts are more,

are a different beast, though, because you are saying, like, everything and talking so openly. The show itself, it's MTV. Like, you know, even if I bring home a girl,'s gonna be like all right good night yeah you know what happened but yeah exactly the show has our back like it's not gonna overseas they show that shit

and geordie shore that you gotta see that show yeah the british one right that actually really did happen on our show, but they don't show it. I never smashed one girl. We only cuddled every time when the lights went off. Yeah, seriously. That's it. Paulie lives in Vegas? Yeah.

The only man that I know of that can successfully live in Sin City. And he parties. He doesn't party. He doesn't drink. He just works. First of all, he lives like 40 minutes away from the strip okay so he doesn't live a little bit yeah it's nowhere near there and he's working he's djing like five times a week so that's when he's partying for the last

10 years the man is i've never seen him like he works hard he really make bad decisions so even back in jersey was he wasn't like blacking out and So even back in Jersey, he wasn't blacking out? He was drinking in the party, but he wasn't like... That's it. We don't do drugs or anything. Listen, everyone turns up, but I've never seen them make bad decisions. Pauly and Vinny make really bad decisions. They're just having fun and turning up. Now someone else...

He's trying, man. He's trying, man. He's trying, dude. What's the deal with keto guido and the situation diet here? Because I feel like I would fucking strangle him. Dude, it's... Just let him order his food. Just let him order his fucking food, Vinny. Aren't you trying to be keto?

I would love to be. I want to try to be a bunch of things. I'm never going to be. Oh, okay try to be a bunch of things. I'm never going to be it. Oh, okay. I eat two pounds of chicken every morning at 9 a.m. Really?

So there's this place right around here. It's got like a buffet and I found this chicken and it's got this like parmesan lemon fucking sauce. It's fried chicken.

It's fried chicken. It's chicken cutlet. It's chicken cutlet chopped up and I go and I get two pounds, and I'm up early. I got two kids. So by like 9 or 10 a.m., I'm ready for lunch, and I eat two pounds of it at 10 a.m.

I would be in a coma the rest of the day. I don't know, man. I can do it. I used to be like that because you get used to it. Well, his diet, he's shredding for the wedding. I am shredding for the wedding. But when I was on doing the last season of Jersey Shore, I was, I'm torn because I wanted to, you know, trim up for my wedding. But also when I'm filming, I want to live my best life.

Absolutely. You know what I mean? You really, is that ever, you just order all that shit? I really do. You order a comical amount of food. It's a goddamn thing. I really do order that amount of food. Low-key really pisses me off.

No, low-key he wishes he was eating like me but he's not. But like I said as the wedding is getting closer I am starting to be

on a stricter diet and I did the other day I got I don't go out I just seemless and I ordered Mexican food

and the dude handed me my order at the door and I was so disgusted with myself. It was like heavy. And I ordered Mexican food, and the dude handed me my order at the door. I was so disgusted with myself. It was like heavy. I probably couldn't have curled it. This is fucking gross. I do eat like that at times to reward myself as a little

treat, but it's just not my every meal like it used to be. My whole life, I was raised, my mom raised me that every meal has to be like an event. You know what I mean? And now I don't call it fat shame. I call it health shame. I like health. Jason, I've gotten more attention and positive recently from gaining a couple pounds and not having a six pack because of maybe the BDS factor or the Big Daddy sitch.

I'm thick as fuck. People have been really rooting around that. I'm thick as fuck too. They were rooting around that. I love you. And I'll be honest, lately I'm thinking to myself, yo, if I get this six-pack back in the next season or so,

are people going to just hate my ass? You know what I'm saying? You are enabling yourself to be fat right now, bro, and I love it. That's classic Hollywood. Classic Hollywood, they fall in love with a chubby guy and they're like, don't get skinny. Jonah Hill's the only one who pulls it off. Jonah Hill gets it, but I think Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns.

Oh, yeah, he loves that. He's like, they don't want me to get really skinny or put on 20 more pounds. Just stay fat. Yeah, that's where the nickname Big Daddy Sitch came up because I wanted to be sarcastic and funny. And I was like, maybe this will be funny. Maybe this will catch on. So I called it Big Daddy Sitch, and to be honest, people loved it. It was funny.

Is there another season in the works? So this one, we're actually still filming. It's going to be the longest season we've ever done. It's going to be 20 episodes or something like that. So you are in Vegas right now and popping here to do— No, no, no. We've pretty much filmed like 90%, I think. There might be a little bit left.

We split it up. We did a couple trips. We did Vegas, then we 90%, I think. There might be a little bit left. We split it up. We did a couple trips. We did Vegas, then we did Jersey. Okay. And then we'll bounce around. So it's like we kind of haven't even finished this one until like even think about the next ones yet. Crazy.

Because there's a lot of content on this one. I think it's going to finish with walking down the aisle. Oh. Oh, maybe I shouldn't have said that. Honestly, whatever he says, I'll wipe me. There's going to be cameras at the wedding. He doesn't even know that. I would say, like, you just gave it up, but no one knows that.

The producers are probably like, that's a good idea. Yeah, exactly. We know what we're doing now. All right, well, keep it up, man. I mean, I'll watch fucking 10 more seasons love it as long as you guys are down I'll be watching

old age home well old age homes where they really fuck that's the that's the turn up poppin old beach jersey shorts
