It was an awesome, awesome interview for me to get to do. I'm a massive fan of this person. I mean, if you clicked on the podcast, I don't know why I'm talking like you don't know who it is. It is Q from the Impractical Jokers. Now, I've been a fan of Q since before Impractical Jokers even existed. We get into why and how on the show, but it was just really cool. This is another one of those interviews where you're going to hear me marking out like a complete fanboy, and I don't even care. It was a great chat. Before we get into it, let me remind you guys about our presenting sponsor, 3Chi. 3Chi and the Delta-8 THC that they make get me through the week each and every week. I'm

telling you guys, all of these products formulated by a biochemist in the USA with USA-grown hemp, they're amazing. It's a federally legal version of THC with effects that are the perfect hybrid of CBD and Delta-9 THC. Delta-9 THC is just general marijuana THC. That's the most common form of THC. This, on the other hand, gives you that similar buzz in all the medicinal effects without the laziness, the anxiety, paranoia, and mental fogginess that Delta-9 users report. And Delta-8 users actually say that they feel far more active and outgoing with increased confidence and almost none of the anxiousness and paranoia that Delta-9 users have.

Go to 3chi.com right now. That's the number 3 and paranoia that Delta 9 users have. Go to 3chi.com right now. That's the number three, C-H-I.com, and you can shop for Delta 8 vapes, gummies, tinctures, and more. You can make homemade edibles, all that stuff.

Now let's get into this interview with Brian Quinn. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to my mama's basement. It's Robbie Fox, and I am joined with the star of True TV's Impractical Jokers and also Impractical Jokers Dinner Party, the Misery Index as well, Brian Q. Quinn. Let me just start off this interview by saying I'm a huge fan of yours

dating back before Impractical Jokers. I'm actually a huge Tell Them Steve Dave fan. Oh, whoa. Yeah, I came into Jane Silent Bob's secret stash when i was like 12 years old with my mom and uh mark was behind the counter at the time and he was like oh there he said they're recording a podcast back there it's called tell him steve dave and i went home and i looked it up probably too young to look it up 12 years old but i've been listening ever since so uh thank you for all of the years of entertainment you've provided us there i'm the patreon subscriber all that stuff oh wow thanks man hopefully we didn't lead you uh astray sometimes we uh you

know sometimes we give really good advice sometimes we just say stupid can i curse of course you can say anything yeah okay well then sometimes we just say stupid bullshit just just to just to rile each other up. So, you know, sometimes people don't know when we're kidding and sometimes people do. So you seem like you turned out okay. Yeah, yeah. It's definitely provided me a lot of levity. Yeah, we'll definitely get into the Mandalorian a little bit later.

Let me start off by asking how your year's been, 2020. It's been a weird year for everybody, right? But how have you been? Yeah, I've been pretty, I mean, look, I might in the beginning, I was just very worried about other people. Because, you know, it just seemed like everything was going wrong. Well, here's the problem. I'm built for this. I'm enjoying it. I, you know, I honestly, I could do lockdown probably for the rest of my life and be fine with it. You know, but I know that's not the same for everybody. I don't even mean financially. I mean, mentally, there's a lot of my really only concern is just

for people in society at large. But honestly, like aside from like a week or two where I just start getting stir crazy here or there, like I'm really doing all right, man. Yeah, I sort of feel the same way. I feel bad saying that 2020 has been an all right year for me, but it has. I'm glad to hear that it's been okay for you as well. I know it put a hinder in filming Impractical Jokers in a sort of way where you guys had to work around that.

Was that kind of creatively fun for you after doing so many seasons of Impractical Jokers, now getting obstacles thrown in the way? That's a good question. That's a really good question um it is we we look i we need i needed the break from practice jokers we we had been going 10 years and that's part of why i'm like this the the shutdown for me in a lot of ways was like you know all right i mean i and i say that with a caveat and i'm going to say this one so i don't have to keep saying it that i do know society is in a pinch right now you know what i mean and that it's a it's a devastating time for humanity i i know all that i'm always speaking about my own

day-to-day experiences um so the break from impractical jokers was you know we were down i think our last day of shooting was my birthday, March 14th. And then we were down six months at least, no touring, no anything. So it was great because we worked so hard. We shoot practically over 10 months out of the year. Then it comes in waves where you're like, holy fuck, I can't believe I got to get up and go do this in the morning. And so we got a good break. I think we need it.

We recharged our batteries. And then to come back, and like you said like what are the restrictions and we found it for us it wasn't that hard like the only thing we really had to worry about was like we still need to get people into a building we still need to keep them unaware of what's going on and we need to make sure they're tested and it turns out that that's easy to do that's not hard to do like uh we we basically have like i mean i don't even know if they're gonna want me to say this but like we basically rented we have like impractical joker studios now that's what i'm calling it we rented this large building that has many different areas you could that have many

different looks there's like there's a kitchen in it there's a but and we're booking cooking classes we're booking so it's like but we go to the same building every day yeah it's been like amazing you know what i mean and and so so um if anything it's changed the people we interact with because like we were shooting during the last presidential election and it was very difficult to shoot to get your tail out of the way um people were pissed especially in new york city yeah i think people now um are so loopy and just happy to be out of the house that when they get hired to go do a focus group they show up in a great mood every single person that we've messed with is going to make the tv show because they've all been great they've they've they've been confused but in a good because they've all been great. They've been confused, but in a good mood. They've been like people are, we're finding that people are ready for a little more weirdness.

So it's been great. It's been a lot of fun. This is probably a question that you get pretty often, but just as someone that's done like man on the street stuff in New York City and myself, do you get recognized a lot as you're trying to do it? Like now that you're 10 years in? Yeah, it does happen. We, we, it happens every time we shoot, but the way I always put it is cause we do get, we do get this question is, um, you know, there's 8 million people in Manhattan alone.

You know what I mean? Whatever the number is, 7 million people do not watch Impractical Joke a week. You know what I'm saying? Like there's so many people that don't watch the show. There's so many people that are unaware of us. We're still kind of like, we're pretty under the radar still in terms of even pop culture.

You know what I mean? Like, you don't see, I mean, you do if you turn to true TV, but you don't, you know what I mean? Like, it's like, we're so- Yeah, you guys are on like 24 seven, I feel like. Say now, compared to season five have you noticed whoa this has become a much larger issue with us getting recognized or no no not really it's kind of

been because we've also gotten better at combating it and coming up with ways to combat it like i which i i wouldn't tell you now because then people will know what we know of course yeah don't don't have you that, before people even see us, know whether they watch Impractical Jokers. And then we just have like three different checks before they even get to us. It's a little different when we're shooting Washington Square Park and you're just out in public.

But that's Washington Square Park. You're also dealing with crackheads. You're also dealing with homeless people. You know what I mean? You're also dealing with a wide variety of protests. So it's just, you know, when you go to Washington Square Park, it's just one of the things're also dealing with homeless people. You know what I mean? You're also dealing with a wide variety of so it's just you know when you go to Washington Square Park it's just one of the things you're dealing with. Yeah so another one of the things you've had come up

in 2020 is the Misery Index and you've also had Dinner Party and Practical Jokers at home where you've been able to shoot that in your own home. What's that experience been like for you? Well Misery Index is interesting because we just finished shooting 20 more episodes last week. And it was interesting.

Like, I wasn't – they asked us if we would be willing to shoot it. You know, I got to say the networks have been amazing. They have not forced anything. They have been safety first, whatever you guys are comfortable with. So they protested about Misery Index. And they were like, do you guys feel comfortable thinking, do you think you could shoot this? And I was like, no, no fucking way.

But we gave them a list of safety things that we would need put into place before we did it for us and for the contestant and for the audience. And it was one of those things where I was like, we're going to give them this list and they're going to be like, no, fuck that. Like, no way. And then they went through and they did the entire list. I mean, I'm talking like, we got tested every single day. Rapid test, end range

and the longer test. Contestants got, they put them in a hotel and quarantined. Like, it was, they really did it. They did it and it worked. It worked really well. Dinner party, which is us doing what me and you are doing right now yeah this is basically it like me and me and my friends sit around talk has been i i think

if i would do dinner party for the rest of my life i i love it it'd be so much fun it's it's just a blast yeah no pressure it's just us having fun we still get you know obviously we can't do practical jokers type stuff but we could still fuck with each other and we could still um we could still find ways to surprise each other or mess with each other and we built this weird and you'll see through season two like there's actually a mythology to the show which is always insane to me that we've managed to build side characters and and and callbacks and storylines and it's like but it's all genuine because yeah we're not really making anything i mean you know there's some jokes on the show but that's when we throw to a video that we pre-shot you know we

pre-shot it but for the most part it's just played straight and having a blast i love dinner party the passion that you guys have for it definitely like comes through like dinner party is a very fun casual watch you throw it on like you're gonna laugh, you're gonna have a fun time. And speaking of the mythology of it, tell them Steve Dave, I feel like as a podcast might have the best mythology of all time. And I'm obviously biased saying that as a giant fan of the podcast. But how would you describe tell them Steve Dave to someone that's never listened? Because I was trying to think of it because I'm thinking someone hasn't listened to tell him Steve Dave and they want to know a little bit about how would I describe it I don't know how I would do it yeah tell him Steve Dave is a tough one because it's not what it was even three years ago and it's not what it was five years before that like it started as just three friends sitting around talking and brian johnson who's who's brian and wolf lanigan or who hosts tell us today with me trying to be listening um it was about like brian was struggling with depression and he started doing this podcast

thinking that maybe he could pull him out of it and this is back like when we started tell us today podcasting wasn't a thing yeah you guys just passed the 10-year anniversary. Yeah, I mean, it was a thing, but it wasn't what it is now at all, you know? It was not, all right, Benjamin, he really wants to weigh in on this. It just wasn't. It was just, you know, and now it's weird. It's hard to explain. See, I don't even know how to explain it.

It's very tough. It's this inner, and I see some parallels with barstool and that like there's just a bunch of wacky characters that will come in and out there's guests so it's like sunday jeff and get him steve dave and maxwell and even declet and like there's just all of the listeners know all of the intricacies they know the person that edits the podcast they know now with the patreon the people that film it like it's an interesting community. And it's so like New Jersey in a way, too. As someone that grew up in New Jersey, I feel like I know people that are like everyone on the show.

I know a guy that's like that. Oh, I know a guy that's like that. So it's just been a really great podcast over the years. Like I said, with the mythology of Tell Him Steve, Dave Towne and the Baron Paul Flanagan, stuff like that. It's kind of keeps evolving because it was like it's like, look, we town and the Baron plan again, stuff like that. It's, and it keeps evolving because it was like, it's like, look, we went through the thing in the beginning where Brian was depressed and,

and I was kind of dealing with some stuff too. And then it went into Brian became a drug addict on the show. And like, we went through rehab with him and you hear him for three years. He's completely zonked out of his fucking head. You know what I mean? And we talk about it on the show. Yeah.

And, you know, and I have struggles to get him help and stuff like that. Then it went into, like, I was a fireman when it started. Then it became the TV show. Then you track the whole fucking journey of me becoming a 10-year-on practical joker. Like, it's just this weird thing. But then, like, all right, so, like, for anybody listening,

you, of course, know this, is there was this guy who stole our web domain. He stole our web domain from us. He got tellhemsweepdave.com, then was going to sell it to us for $700, and then rescinded that, then wanted to double that, and we hated him. And now he's on every episode of the show he works at the conflict store walt he's a he's a fan favorite on the show i love the guy like it's just and the evolution of get him from some just weird fucker who we hated to this weird fucker that we love it's fascinating it's fascinating man it really is it truly is like

an amazing journey it's and talk about bry like bry's now married and happier than he's ever been it's almost like a television show is like you know a character has reached this entire arc and it's again it's like a parallel to barstool so barstoolsports.com is our website sure anyone else owns barstool.com this guy zonker who we hate hates us and he won't give it up our boss has offered him like a million dollars and he's like no i hate your website not giving it up i mean a million dollars you give it up what's great i think he's he's one of these uh he's maybe politically like his brain is broken a bit and he perceives us as something that we're not yeah well that's i'm not giving it

up it's a whole thing one more thing thing on the Tell Them Steve Day front. And I know this story, but I think it's such a funny and fascinating one for listeners to hear. Your introduction. So Brian and Walter Flanagan are Kevin Smith's childhood and kind of he grew up with them as best friends. Your introduction to them was sort of through Kevin Smith. And you got an internship with him in one of the most funny, bizarre ways I could ever imagine. Do you want to tell that story if you can oh yeah because kevin uh so kevin is great man he was the first

as far as i could tell he was the first celebrity that was on the internet directly interacting with fans on a daily basis and it's weird how he doesn't get enough credit for that but he did it and um mallrats came out and i wanted to buy the mallrats script book so i went to uh walden books in the stanisla mall and i asked the guy for i mean i was i was 19 i was 19 20 years old and um and then the guy's like nah we don't carry that kevin smith sucks and i was like oh jesus christ and he kind of like made me feel like a dick he was putting me down and he and and also putting down this one of my heroes in the same moment and I'm like but you work here like like what like what is this opinion coming my way so I went on the web board that Kevin

was on the time and I told him that I said uh so Kevin sent me without telling me he was doing it in the mail one day comes this script book and it's signed by kevin and he writes uh uh give that bookstore dork some shit so i took a tape recorder and i did exactly what i what he told me to do i went into the bookstore and uh i said you know i just started screaming at him and i was like you suck and i started doing quotes from more ads i mean I wasn't like being aggressive even he knew that I was my buddy Chris was there he was laughing I was laughing but it was really funny and then

he was like you better get out of here and then I sent the tape to ViewSkew and the way they tell it is that they put the tape in and played it they were like they were all fucking dying laughing they thought it was so funny. Kevin goes, we got to get this guy to work for us.

That's how I started. That's how I got my internship there. The tape is out there. It's so funny. I'll insert it into this podcast so people could listen to it. I can't do it unless we get to it tomorrow. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Look, Kevin Smith's a good friend of mine. I know what you're saying. I need to give the bookstore a door or some shit. F*** you. That's you, motherfucker! Some shit! Sorry. Ha ha! F*** you, you God-smoking clerk! I'm gonna bust this place up in your tits now! I think you should start going now. Let's go, motherfucker! I ain't going nowhere!

What are you gonna do about it? Yeah, that's just a message. Fuck you. Eat shit. Eat my shit. You better get the fuck out of here. Yeah, you better get out of here. The way the guy responds is so, like, passive, and he's just like.

He's totally cool about it. Yeah, that's what I mean. I always wonder where that guy ended up, because I don't really have anything against him of course not yeah to send my friend or you know one of my heroes so i would i would love to find the guy and talk to him and then when do you meet brian and walter through that was it like instantly when you get the job at view askew or was that years down the line it was it was pretty instantly because i it was pretty instantly well What happened was Kevin opened the secret stash

at its first location. He hired Brian to run it. The first time I met them, you know this story, but I got into a car accident. I left the ViewSkew office and I was driving back to Staten Island and this kid came out and hit me. Almost flipped my car. Banged my head

pretty quick. The stash was a block away. So I walked to the stash to get to use the phone is before cell phones and call my, you know, call my parents to come get me and my brother or something. And I get into the store and it's Mosier and Walt and, uh, and Brian Johnson. And I tell him, you know, and I was like, I was just in a car accident. Mosier for like upfront, like was, you know, acted appropriately. And Johnson just turns to me and he goes, he goes, well, you know, when you're sucking dick,

you're supposed to be in the passenger seat when you do it. And I was like still hurting. And like, my arm was all banged up. I was like, it was 10 minutes before the accident. And this guy's like already fucking. He's ripping you for it. Just ripping me for it. ripping me for it he's like he's like you don't even know how to suck dick right and I'm like and that was it and that was that was the beginning of my friendship with him and then what happened is I would get to view

in the morning I would get all my work done within the first two hours I would speed round and then I just go to the comic store and work with Brian Johnson all day so it's like we had years of just hanging out together and we just became really close friends and he helped me my 20s were like a really hard time for me and uh and he helped me a lot so he's a good guy yeah I mean I've appreciated you guys always being so open about that the scooter dude forever episode was as open as anyone could be and that is something that I've tried to do on my podcast. I've suffered from crazy depression and anxiety and stuff. And I've always just tried to talk about it, sort of inspired by you guys. So thank you. That's good. I think it helps you to do it, right? Like it helps me to do it. It just totally destigmatizes it for myself. And we hear that a

lot. It's the number one thing I get from telling Steve Davis, you guys have helped me through some sort of depression and stuff like that, which is great. All right, so let's get into some nerdy stuff. The show is called My Mom's Basement. I know you're a bit of a geek and nerd yourself. Let's talk about just some things that you're into, starting off with Ghostbusters.

We've got a bit of a reboot sequel coming out. I know your opinions on the last one, same opinions as pretty much everyone else have, think what are your feelings it's odd that i wasn't as angry about the 2016 one as a lot of people were yeah i i wasn't i wasn't angry to be honest i don't even think i've ever seen the full thing i've seen bits and pieces of it and it's just it's not for me it's just a shitty movie man it the script was so bad that's unfortunate because the cast is home run but what are you gonna do uh yeah so the new i'm looking forward to the new one yeah i'm excited i i my whole thing about before before we even started seeing how the movie eventually turned out the 2016 one was why on earth would they abandon continuity like like that is a gift to you

yeah like it's a gift to you that that that they made these movies in the 80s and and that the equipment's there and the technology's there you could do so much more of an interesting origin story for a new team besides the same first fucking movie you know what i mean just with shittier looking costumes shittier looking proton packs and it's just like and shittier jokes it's just it was bad but the new one is heavily steeped in and in it and i gotta imagine i'm gonna see all the things i want to see yeah i mean even in that first trailer when they cut to like the old school news footage of the original team i get chills and it's like oh why would yeah like you said why would you abandon that especially in the age of fan service where you could show such a little thing like that and get everyone going

crazy for it so i'm with you on that i think that's going to be really great i know you're a mandalorian fan mentioned the baby yoda hoodie you got baby yoda behind you have you seen this week's episode uh the one that what's today on friday i guess a week ago last friday yes what were your opinions on it? We talk Mandalorian every week on this show. Huge fans. Okay. I'm loving it. I do like it. My only thing... I love King Sackhoff, right?

Yep. Battlestar Galactica is just one of my faves. I'm actually re-watching now. She's great. So I'm happy to see her in anything. Oh, and actually actually i'm a big wrestling fan too so it was nice you know sasha banks the legit boss up on screen uh but i i don't know those characters and i know they're from clone wars i never watched clone wars and i never

watched um rebels so i don't know them so i didn't get as excited as everybody else did yeah that's fair but i did love there was a line in it that I was like, that is awesome. And you already may know the answer to it. But she implied basically that Mando is basically part of a weird Amish cult. Yeah, death cult. She uses that term. She's like, oh, you're one of those. I was like, that blew my mind.

I was like that blew my mind i was like holy crap um i was like that is such a cool idea that he doesn't even know he's in a cult yeah so that's one of those things i think the show has done a really good job of balancing because last season when we saw the flashback of him getting rescued as a child by the mandalorians if you looked very closely at the emblem on all of their armor and you were a clone wars fan like myself. I mean, I'm the craziest nerd ever. I got a lightsaber tattooed on my arm. Like I'm so insane about this stuff that it's, it's a little embarrassing, but it's sort of clued you into the fact that he might be a part of this

death cult death watch it's called. So I think they've done a good job of balancing it where it's the fan service for the hardcore fans. But if you don't know that you don't have to know that they'll get to it. They'll explain it eventually. I think the same thing will go for Katie Sackhoff's character where, you know, they'll get to her backstory. They'll explain it all. Yeah, I know. I mean, the Darksaber, I know that was a thing. And it looks so cool. I love it. I love the show. There's not an episode I don't like. And the first episode of this season was

my favorite episode of the whole thing so far. I'm with you on that. And stuff. and i loved it i i really do all right another thing i would love to talk to you about i know you're a batman fan we've got matt reeves batman coming out soon i think this thing looks awesome with pattinson behind the cowl how do you feel about this well i i there's very few things that i wouldn't like to see batman um i think he's great, man. I watched The Lost City of Z. I saw him in that and I was like,

oh man, this guy's freaking good because I never saw the Twilight movies. Benjamin, do you have an opinion on this? That was a full, like, you're having a conversation over there. Yes, we talk to each other all day. What were we talking about? Oh, Rob Pattinson. Did you have a good time with him i didn't i gotta i know sal sal tells me all the time he's like you gotta watch it it's so good it's a crazy crazy good movie i mean especially if you like to uncut

gems it's that same like anxiety inducing style of movie making directors right same directors and one of them is co-star in the movie actually it's a really really good watch and just doing like a scumbag queen's impersonation is very funny to watch that's i'll do that benjamin i am on a professional call i can't wait i think the batmobile looks amazing uh i love the picture that i saw of the penguin the fact that doesn't even look like him i i didn't know that was him when i watched the trailer i had to see like one of those you know listicles that tells you oh this was actually who it was yeah i'm there for anything man like how did you feel about um uh what's his name's joker um the one everybody hates jared leto yeah i i didn't hate it because i look at all that stuff as like i'm a

comic book fan so i look at that as like man it's a what if it's a what if joker was a gangster who ran a nightclub so i was fine with it i didn't love the damage tattoo just because i'm like i can't imagine the joker walking into a tattoo parlor and being like i think we should do that but you know what it is what it is i'm not one of these people that gets angry over stuff like that yeah i i i was like there were actually parts of them that i enjoyed his performance but i was like but i did somebody described them as the hot topic joker and I was like that is perfect and spot on that that nails it but I didn't I wasn't as angry as everybody else was about it but I'm also getting older so who knows yeah I mean he's connected to the next thing I was going to ask you about and that's the Snyder Cut now I'm not one of these Snyder Cut crazies that was campaigning for this

thing to get released for years and they want the original Vision to come out. But I'm interested in it. You know, it's apparently a four-hour miniseries. It's going to be now. So there's going to be a ton of new footage. Jared Leto apparently will be back in it. How do you feel about that? And even, like, connected to it, we've got a new cut of The Godfather 3 coming out,

like the Snyder Cut of The Godfather 3. How do you feel about people now going back and recutting old movies like this? I don't – i love it i i don't mind it at all because like i i think george lucas didn't do it right in the way that he one made them worse but also took the originals out of circulation yeah as long as you leave the original circulation i i'm all for it i'll buy i'll buy 20 versions of Army of Darkness if they make 20 versions of Army of Darkness.

I just will. I love it. That's what I like seeing. So to me, Snyder Cut, I didn't, you know, I'm like you. I wasn't like, I must see it, but I'm definitely like, oh man, I want to see it now that it's coming out.

I mean, Darkseid on the big screen, like as a comic book fan, yeah, I'll watch Darkseid. Like, yeah, Darkseid I want to see it now that it's coming out i mean dark side on the big screen like as a comic book fan yeah i'll watch dark side like yeah the guys yeah i don't want to see you know i i i wasn't the hugest fan of the takes of some of the characters like the flash i i don't know the flash and i'd never liked cyborg as a character yeah well doom patrol and now i watch doom patrol and i'm like cyborg's the best man i gotta get into that i watched the first episode and i really enjoyed it i think based on your recommendation actually you might have said it on a podcast and i just haven't continued but i really did enjoy the first episode and that's one of those shows where it seems like

they're really going for the wackiness oh yeah they they embrace every weird thing that you do in comics i love that show and cyborg and I know people love him from the Teen Titans animated series, but I never watched that. Yeah, that was like when I was a kid, yeah. Did you watch it? Yeah, oh, yeah. I was into it as a kid. I liked it.

Yeah, I had all the action figures. So I like Cyborg, but when he was in the Justice League, I was almost like, what? He's a Teen Titan. Like, why are you putting him in the Justice League? So the footage they've showed in the Snyderder code of him playing for like the gotham football team and stuff though i think that looks pretty sweet yeah i mean that that's why i'm excited about it because like i'm like oh maybe it'll give me a chance because really duke droll made

me want to like cyborg yeah well in the past i was just like what's his story like nobody ever like what's a good cyborg it's pretty basic too it's just he's a cyborg and his name is cyborg and if you look at him he's a cyborg there's not much to him yeah but it's just like alright so why not like I know Alan Moore isn't doing comics anymore

but like take cyborg give him to Alan Moore and like let's have a whole issue about what it's like to not have a dick anymore you know what I mean? Yeah. Cause he's never played like cyborg. He's always just played like tough, tough and,

and, and all the information flows through him. And, and I'm like, okay, so he's another Martian Manhunter. Yeah. He's kind of the muscle for the team.

A lot of the time. I don't know. Yeah. Nothing about cyborgs personal life because nobody's ever given it to me. I'm just like, who cares about this guy? So the fact that they show him as a football player and stuff, I'd be excited to see that. Yeah, listen, I'm excited for any new superhero footage, especially in 2020 where things have been kind of sparse. I'm all for it.

Give us Wonder Woman on HBO. Give us Black Widow if you can. I'll take it all before we get you out of here it's been a tough year on small businesses you're a small business owner yourself you own a beer company want to give that a plug before we get out for any of those that want to hit that yeah I would love to I started we opened the beer company around a year ago called R&H Beer Robson and Horman and it's a Staten Island brewery that was in business from 1886 to 1950. And I brought it back, and we're making beer, and it's really great beer.

I love it. And it's like you can go to our website, rh.com, and not only can you order beer there, but also I got to tell you, the labels are pretty cool. They all feature Benjamin Catt. You know what I mean? They all got my boy on. There he is.

He's all over the place. There's hidden Tell Him Steve Dave jokes on the labels. And so actually the merch actually sells better than the beer. But I think that's because of the pandemic. We were in a lot of bars and then now, you know. Yeah, timing just couldn't have been worse. Yeah, but we're just releasing a holiday brew. It's exciting.

I love the beer company. Awesome. So go check that out, ladies and gentlemen. This has been a pleasure. This has been really cool for me. So I appreciate the time. I appreciate the time. Everyone check out the Misery Index and, of course, Impractical Joker's Dinner Party.
