hey everybody i'm josh kaderna and i'm mike moran and you're listening to the digression sessions podcast a baltimore-based comedy talk show hosted by two young, handsome stand-up comedians slash improvisers. Join us every week as we journey through the world of comedy and the bizarreness of existence. As we interview local and non-local comedians, writers, musicians, and anyone else we find creative and interesting. Yes. Who's the guest this week one thing i realized you know all these dopes have kids all these dopes all these clods yeah doing earbuds uh no i don't need to and then you realize that um you realize that uh your parents were either your age or younger when they had you and you're yeah, they're always way younger.

And you're like, I don't know anything. Right. I'm not going to be in charge of another life. Do you think maybe that's why older people are dumber? Like, you think maybe it's like you kind of stop learning once you have children. Like, you just start learning. There's no time. Well, yeah, you go back to, like, learning about numbers and letters and stuff.

And then the more challenging stuff like algebra you're like well i guess you you still have to like be pretty mature and right for knowledgeable for a while you can just be like you know you're just like uh oh yeah the alphabet let dad show you a thing or two about that like wow he's a genius i can do that easy five times five come on pal you know it come on it's easy and then once once you get to the harder stuff a thing or two about that. Wow, he's a genius. I can do that easy. Five times five. Come on, pal. You know it. Come on, it's easy.

And then once you get to the harder stuff, it's probably like, well, are you doing your homework? Maybe you should get a tutor. All right? I don't have time for this. Is there a math lab

at your school? I have backgammon club I need to go to. Well, but like, all right. I mean, you kind of stop learning, I think,

once you have children and become a family man. In some ways, you kind of become set in your ways. You're less open. Oh, as far as who you are as a person? You can probably still learn. No. It's over, bro. It's over.

They did study. Some motherfucking clod that had kids did a study. They told him to read a wikipedia page and then tell him what was on it and he was like duh he just drooled on the keyboard out came his report no guests this week we should say there's no guests uh it's a good segue there thank you thank you speaking of clods your two favorite clods are back. Yes. Josh Coderna here with my good friend Mike Moran. Yep, there it is. That's what it is.

No guests this week. Too busy of a week and didn't book anybody. But we can have a nice little catch-up sesh anyway. When? What do you mean? Like right now. Oh, okay. Yeah.

When are we going to do that? What? What right now? Oh, okay. When are we going to do that? What? Yeah, so at my office. Oh, I guess we should say Twitter stuff in the beginning. We should probably do that, huh? We're still kidding the Hank about how it all works.

Three years in. Made a big change, Michael. Big change. As far as Twitter goes. Oh, I thought you were talking about your office again. Oh, big change, Michael. Big change as far as Twitter goes. Oh, I thought you were talking about your office again. Oh, big change at the office. Big change. I was acting team leader today, so that went well.

The change as far as Twitter and Instagram. There's been a lot of talk about our names and that type of thing. I'm just at Josh Kaderna now. On Twitter? Yep. How did you nab that there's no other josh kadernas on this planet nope or maybe there are but they're like you know there must be a tiny amount if you are still able to snatch that name up yeah i was worried too because i was like maybe i shouldn't change it because i already have a lot of people and by a lot it's like a couple hundred and just like my friends right so like well i don't know a lot of people know me as better robot josh no they don't

no they don't but the thing that sucks about my name is that it like you know somebody has something easy like like michael ian black even mike moran's pretty easy they're like you know if i meet somebody after a show like hey you were funny and i'm like oh follow me on twitter it's josh kaderna they're like we're never gonna remember that like even if they say they will you just see it in their eyes like how do you spell wait what because your last name is uncommon yeah yeah so i need i you know like a jack black nobody's gonna forget that you know, I mean, there's plenty of, like, famous people that have weird names. Yeah, but they got famous before Twitter, you know? So from now on, everybody has to have, like, a rhyming name?

It helps. Ask John Leibowitz, a.k.a. John Stewart. Yeah. Was that his real name? Mm-hmm. That's weird to me. A bunch of people have. In this day and age, Jewish people are still trying to hide their Jewishness from Hollywood.

I mean, I think it's pretty obvious that he was Jewish. I mean, he talked about it in his act all the time. And plus, he's got that schnoz and the horns. That's true. And you can see his tail. Right. No, there's a bunch of people that have changed their names. I wish I could remember them, but I remember it.

Michael Ian Black was something else. Oh, was it? Yeah. So it was Jack Black, I'm pretty sure. I hope so. Johnny Cash. Come on. It was Johnny.

Johnny Broke. Johnny Credit Card. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, but I remember looking at a list that was like, oh, no wonder these people have cool names because they pick them. Right. You know, like Cameron Diaz,

Jerry Seinfeld, stuff that has a ring. Joey Buttafuca. Yeah. I want a name like that. What if he just says your name to Josh Buttafuca? Joshy Buttafuca. Hey, how you doing? How you doing?

Well, no. So I feel like you're getting insecure about your last name and you're thinking, I'm never going to be famous. No, no. I was more just kidding. What about Josh Smosh? Yeah, that's good. Josh Smosh coming to the stage. My dad once said, he's like, you should wear the same outfit.

And I was like, why? He's like, so people can recognize you. You'll be like And I was like, why? He's like, you know, so people can recognize you. You know, you'll be like the guy that wears the whatever. Like a chicken suit or something. Yeah. And I was like, what do you mean? Nobody really does that besides like characters like Larry the Cable Guy. I don't know about that, honestly.

Andrew Dice Clay is a character. I think there is kind of something to that, even for like non-characters. Not really. I mean, pretty much everybody that does it is a character except for like a few i mean like judah freelander pretty much doing a character but my dad's example my dad's example was jerry seinfeld you know i like seinfeld he was always wearing suits and i'm like yeah but not like the same you should always wear a shirt yeah like you'll be the shirt guy hey there's the suit guy jerry seinfeld like no one knew him for his suit.

He stands out because he's wearing a suit. Right, right. So, no, I don't think anybody really does that. You know, like, Louis C.K. wears a T-shirt with jeans. Every time. Yeah, but so do a lot of people. I mean, like, Bill Burr wears, like, a button-down shirt. Yeah, but there is something, like, to, like, human psychology where, like, they want to they want to see the same thing.

Yeah, but I feel like that limits you as a comedian, though. Are there a lot of comedians you like that have a costume? Absolutely. Yeah? Old costume Carl? Bill the Starfighter comedian? Bill the Starfighter. Who wears his robot costume and laser guns?

His bleep-blorp punchlines? Yes. Very good. Well,ep blorp punchlines. Yes. Uh-huh. Very good. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm into simplicity. So I don't know. Coveralls Carl.

Yes. Uh-huh. Berka Betty. Hey now, come to the stage, Berka Betty. She's like, I don't have anything to say. Like, yeah, good. Woo. All right.

Woo. Mm-hmm. It's weird, though though how they let their eyes go through like aren't the eyes like really sexual there's some sexy eyes especially when they have makeup on and stuff but then there's the ones without the eye holes i know that's how it should be if you really i mean you're really committed to this thing no No, I mean, obviously, I'm against that type of thing. But it's just like dumb. If it's to not tempt men, don't show the freaking eyes. That's one of the best parts. It's such a weird thing, too.

We can't even look at him. Like, oh, boobs. Yeah, it's insane. Dress him like a ghost. Hide it all. Also, too, we, it's insane. Dress up like a ghost. Hide it all. Also, too, we know it's there. You know, it's not like we're babies. Like, oh, where'd the butt go?

I can't see it. She probably doesn't have one. I guess it's just so, like, you don't know who's hot. Like, you don't know who's attractive and you don't know who's old. That would make me more intrigued, though. Like, man, the mystery of it all a good horror movie villain is more whoa whoa Muslims are horror villains

we just like went on a tirade of offensive Muslim rants we went down there whoa whoa the mystery of the unknown is always intriguing oh definitely so that's why I'm going to change my name to Josh Mystery The mystery of the unknown is always intriguing. Oh, definitely. Definitely.

So that's why I'm going to change my name to Josh Mystery. Maybe. Question mark. Yeah, I'll get that question mark suit that that one guy has. Did you know the government gives out a billion dollars a month? You forget I'm free! My friend saw him on a plane once. I literally saw him with Fees Grimes and Robert Andrew

Like two months ago I thought you meant he was hanging out with Thes Grimes Local comedian Just chilling at like a Chick-fil-A Yeah it was weird What was he doing? I guess he was just in D.C. walking I guess he was like probably filming one of his things

In front of the Capitol or whatever Oh yeah Yeah no my buddy saw him on a plane He was on coach Really? Was he not doing that well? Was saw him on a plane. He was on coach. Really? So not doing that well. Was he wearing question marks?

Yeah. He was wearing question marks. That's how I know, yeah. There you go. There's the costume thing. Yeah, there is. You identify him. As far as gimmicks go, like... But that's a gimmick.

I don't want a gimmick. I know. I'm not saying you do. Oh. I'm saying you need one. Oh, thank you. But, like, if you are are gonna go with a gimmick there there is a lot that can be uh just willing to go over the top visually

is a pretty potent uh marketing tool yeah but it doesn't last i don't feel like this is still around all right hey i'm gonna take my words and lick it up like what what other what other factor would they have had in being a like a huge rock band other than their looks other than the way they dressed sure but it doesn't work for everybody it's not like it's a surefire thing i know but i'm saying it is pretty much mocked like it didn't take long for them to be a joke oh yeah like at first like holy shit that's pretty fucking cool and then it's like oh these are just a bunch four dumb dudes yeah but they're still fucking hugely successful yeah i guess but i think what i'm what i'm saying is there's no artistic integrity there right so you can be

yeah i said it was a gimmick yeah but it's a potent gimmick for people that are willing to take it to that level yeah i mean i guess it can be like slipknot and stuff but i feel like uh yeah but either way yeah when i was telling my dad i was like no i don't really want to be that type of guy because it's especially in comedy it's so limiting like there's no real like people that are characters there's really no longevity to that like andrew dice clay or i guess larry the cable guy could do it for a while he's already made his millions but it seems like everybody that does the character eventually hates the character you think so oh yeah yeah what about steven colbert um well he can do it on on like a tv show and mess around but also he can kind of dip in and out of himself you think so i don't think he does very much what do you mean like sure he does he like

cracks up all the time yeah he'll joke and things like that yeah a little bit but he's still pretty much a character like 98 of the time um i yeah yes and no but i mean there's definitely there's definitely yeah and no no like i i agree but i don't i don't think to that extent like i definitely think that he uh he's gotten much more loose over the years as far as his jokes and his humor and that type of thing. But we'll see what he takes over that Letterman spot. Yeah, what is his plan for that? Is he going to? I don't know.

I have no idea. I'm thinking it's going to be good. Everybody's like, I don't know if he can be funny outside of the character. It's like, no, he's been fucking funny for years, his entire life basically. So I think it's going to be good. Everybody's like, I don't know if he can be funny outside of the character. It's like, no, he's been fucking funny for years. Right. Like his entire life, basically. So I think it's going to be good. You know, his whole family like died in a plane crash when he was little.

Not his whole family, but his dad and two of his brothers. That's insane. Yeah. Yeah. But he came from a big family. So they got more where that came from. He had enough. He had enough to be good.

Michael. Yeah. What's going on with you in Twitter? How's this Mike Moran Wood thing going? That sounds like you have two last names when you say it like that. Mike Moran Wood. Like Dash Wood? Yeah.

Hyphen Wood. Moran Wood. What do hyphenated people do when they get married? I think that's where a lot of the hyphens come from. I know, but I'm saying when they already have that as a child like oh I don't know maybe add another one on there like yours you're forcing your kid to like make the masculine or the feminine choice pretty much I guess what why why do you say that because they're gonna have to choose something can't

they just have both not once they get married were they gonna have three or four they don't have to is this is this the type of society you live in where you have to take somebody's name when you get married not anymore all right yeah sorry sorry rush limbaugh to burst your fucking patriarchal bubble over there. What were we talking about again? What happened? You lost all energy. What's wrong? What's going on here?

I think when I just don't have a response or a comeback, just in that brief second, I'm like, I give up forever. I can't do comedy anymore. I can't do that. If I couldn't talk about the last name bit i'm just obviously terrible i even try anything yeah what am i doing with my life um yeah i i don't know i feel like i am getting a little more action on twitter but i don't know if that's the reason probably not because of the name yeah you. You tell people at shows? Do you say, hey?

I haven't yet. I'm sure I will at some point. But I've been doing Twitter a little more. You've been doing it? Making little jokes? Acting, reacting. Commenting, replying. Replying. RTs. Poking.

I pimped my Twitter. No, you're not allowed to do that i've got uh weird hours white nerdy blasting as soon as you know i can't no i've got chain a chain mill background i think what you've been doing is myspace what yep no that sounds like myspace no no tom is my first tweet that doesn't even make sense what do you you mean? Talk to Tom. I will talk to Tom. I'll try. How come Tom never got a more professional headshot? He didn't need to. He made $500 million and got out.

Isn't that awesome? Yeah. He's smart. I mean, before that wave crashed. Maybe it crashed, too, once he got out. Did he? So what? Is the reason why MySpace disappeared because he left Or he left Because it disappeared

No it's still around But I think MySpace Fell apart because Facebook got bigger Than MySpace Had all that bullshit You were just talking about Where like

You'd go to somebody's page And like Limp Bizkit's You know Do it all for the This was after Limp Bizkit Limp Bizkit was still around In MySpace days No

What do you mean no This was like MySpace was like 2006 2005 Yeah We were all still doing it For the Nookie Yeah we were not Yeah we were No. My face was like 2006, 2005. Yeah. We were all still doing it for the Nookie. Yeah, we were not. Yeah, we were.

There was chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water. That was like 2000. And we were all happy to have it. Limp Bizkit was still around. You know there are nations where they still can't get good hot dog flavored water? Really? That breaks my heart. Yeah, I know.

We got to do something about that. I know. It's sad. Let's start up a fund, especially uh this this uh around the holidays here yeah yeah i mean the kids won't even find a chocolate starfish in their stuff some days i don't even want to i don't even want to think about it sounds terrible but yeah i think and then so yeah like facebook was a more streamlined version without all that bullshit. That was a pretty insane market change all of a sudden. Yeah.

It was pretty quick. But yeah, I got in on that Facebook thing, and we're all doing it now. All the kids are doing it. Michael went to New York over the weekend. How was it? It was fun, man. Walked outside.

Walked past the creek and the cave. Didn't go in. Didn't do any mics. It is a comedy uh club uh i guess it's a i guess you call it a club but uh it's a venue out in queens and uh i thought it was gonna be further away from where my buddy lives in brooklyn but not that far nice but it kind of it rained the whole time we were there and it's like man living in new york would be a real pain in the ass like seems like a pain in the ass anyway but just why constant rain for two days i think wherever you are makes it just worse what does it rain a lot in new york no i'm saying it doesn't but the two days that we were there it was raining all day and that's gonna make wherever you are more hard to exist sure so

like uh yeah it just felt like it felt like we were in Seven without all, you know, the murders and stuff. You know, it's, like, constantly raining in that movie. Is there murders in that movie? I thought it was mostly about rain. I don't want to spoil it, but there might be a couple. It's just window dressing. Yeah, yeah. It's mostly about precipitation.

It's for the rain. Yeah, big time. You know, Morgan Freeman's way into it and get your umbrella. There's, yeah, it's just, just like seven where you're like man this town does suck right and then uh yeah it was just that constant rain and wind and when you walk where it's not raining that much but just like misting in your face yeah yeah and uh yeah it was good man it was uh it was fun but it definitely made me think about like how expensive new york is and what like getting everywhere like i can't imagine

having kids i can't like having kids like at any point it seems like a huge undertaking it's impossible no one's in new york i think yeah you see these people with like carrot like the not carriages uh i guess carriages like the strollers right but they have them like on the train and they're like trying to get them up the steps and shit you're like what the and that's just to like go home yeah like total pain in the ass but we went up there to surprise my buddy and uh he was quite surprised yeah uh we were at dinner and like he when he came up to the table it took him a second like we had all of our menus up around our faces like comically like looking at our menus to to block him from seeing us and his girlfriend had told him

that they were going to go to dinner with uh two of her friends this chick rachel and her husband and we're like mike what were you thinking like as we were coming to the you were coming to the table because we could kind of like see him and he just looked confused and uh and he was like i was just i was wondering who these people were at our table. I was like, where's Rachel? I was like, he fucking, like, goober. But it was fun, man. We surprised him. We were at this, like, old school Italian restaurant. And, yeah, weekend was good.

There was some drinking, some dranken, and a little bit, and played some video games. Went and played shuffleboard in Brooklyn, which which is it's a weird thing to say like that there's first of all there's like a whole building dedicated to shuffleboard and it's in brooklyn right and i just remember always hearing about brooklyn like like this tough part of new york like notorious big and like we're brooklyn at brooklyn at yeah like parts of it but i don't think of it as like the isn't queens like the tough part uh i don't think it was known so much for that but i mean like biggie talked about brooklyn pretty sure uh wu-tang did like i know crooklyn yeah but everything changed in the 90s like

yeah but that's what i mean it's interesting interesting to see it firsthand, like a bunch of white people in the middle of the day playing shuffleboard and drinking drinks called shuffleboard bobs that are $11. And you're like, well, this is kind of fun. They should open a shuffleboard Baltimore. I don't know. I also think of Brooklyn as like old-timey white people, New York. Really? Yeah, kind of, Like ballroom dancing. Yeah, but see, that's like another era before what I'm talking about.

That's like Brooklyn Dodgers type thing. Yeah, me and Billy Crystal would play jacks out in front of... Used to go to the club in Brooklyn. I think Elmer actually says that a lot. Yeah, yeah. We'd play jacks in front of Joe DiMaggio's house. He'd come out and he'd give us a nickel, and we were happy to have it. Babe Ruth used to chase us off of his lawn.

Babe Ruth put cigarettes out on our faces, and we were happy to have him do it. That was before the war. Of course. Currency back then was burns on your face. We were the richest kids around. They were used to sell onions. Yeah, Ruth would come around the turnip truck. Yeah, so it was fun, man.

But it was, yeah, I wanted to try to do stand-up while I was up there, but there wasn't any time. And I also didn't make any time for it. So I thought a little lazy, but then it was still fun to hang out up there. But rain in any city will make it suck. Yeah, yeah. It's just so expensive and it's so big. Like friends of ours, like Justin and Kim, they moved to Queens, but like way out in queens like to get to manhattan takes like an hour apparently jesus yeah i didn't realize there was that much gigantic plus if you're

like switching over on trains and shit like that like man what a pain in the ass i mean there's a way to make it work though like you're sure i mean everybody's done it but you know it makes definitely makes balt Baltimore feel like country. There's so much room in here. The rent that they pay. They don't have to have cars, too. That's true, but still, paying over $1,000 for an apartment. It's like, I live in a house.

Like Homer. Like what he's talking about. Who's he talking to? He's talking to Kurt Van he talking to oh yeah he's talking to kirk van hap yeah frank drives no no he's talking to uh bill house's dad he's like this is my car i sleep in a race car where do you sleep i sleep in a bed with my wife in my house but yeah i mean you know they got everything going. I don't need to tell people about New York. They get it.

I don't know if our listeners are familiar with Littleburg. Yeah, you've been up there in the sticks? Just north of Connecticut. Michael, what's good? How are you, fella? I am good. Okay. I think.

Let's wrap this thing up, huh? I think I'm good. Okay. I think. Let's wrap this thing up, huh? I think I'm good. I'm feeling good. Feeling good. Okay. No, yeah, life is pretty sweet. Any resolutions for the upcoming year? Got a nice haircut.

I like that. Yeah. I think I've just now gotten two good haircuts ever that's a good one i think maybe i i know what my head looks like now what does that mean but how did you not know what your head looked like i honestly i don't really know like what i look like or what kind of person I am or what I look good with. Oh, you mean like your type? You obviously have to know what you look like. You know, pictures, mirrors, that type of thing.

Yeah. I don't understand. I just, I don't know. I don't know. You roughly have an idea of what kind of guy you are as far as your hair and your dress style. A little bit. I don't have that. You seem to have your thing.

Yeah, I just don't give a shit. I just wear black. You do this slob thing. I'm just kidding. No. You do a black t-shirt, black socks. Very simplistic, practical. Uh-huh, yeah.

But I don't know if that corresponds with my head or not let's just like i think you're overthinking it okay you're over i i just just dress what what you like what you what you think you you know feels good all right are you doing that yeah you're doing okay you're good how does this shirt look with my head i don't think anyone I don't think anyone thinks that. So you're telling me your fashion style has nothing to do with my face? Well, this goes with my body type and my eyes. I never think about my eyes.

I mean, if I have a nice green shirt, I'm like, wow, my hazel diamond eyes are really going to pop with this. I'm sure everybody else thinks the same thing. I'm like, wow, Josh's eyes are woo. You should put sunglasses on. He's going to distract somebody. You should be wearing a burka. Put a burka on that boy.

Put a burka on her because she is tempting. You think a dude ever puts on a burka? Like one of those full things to get out of something? Oh, klux klan oh you mean like if if to like escape or something yeah yeah like on the titanic or something where would he go why does that matter muslims over here no like there's a there's a story i don't know if it's true or not of a man who like dressed up like a woman to uh get on a lifeboat oh okay i got you i got you i thought you had to escape like the boat's going down like where's he gonna go oh the boat goes down oh just my luck oh boy finally a lady and everything uh oppressive early 20th century

england right right only to go down with the ship um yeah you know like a farce like uh maybe he's uh late for work or something or um let's see what maybe somebody wants to beat him up there it is somebody wants to somebody wants to fight this fella and it's like bugs bunny or something like well bugs bunny's more of an antagonist this guy's just trying to get out of the situation he's not dressing up like a lady to kiss him well no but he's gotten into like he's gotten in deep with a brute probably an Elmer Fudd sort you know well no more like a a big muscly guy with a shaved head I said Elmer Fudd it's not Elmer Fudd Elmer Fudd is a clawed have you seen him without his shirt on Elmer Fudd is a pussy I'm talking you seen him without his shirt on? Elmer Fudd is a pussy.

I'm talking about the big, scary, like, railway bull type guy. The guy with the big, okay, Yosemite Sam. But muscly. He has muscles under that mustache. I'm talking about the stock villains in these old-timey cartoons that are big, scary muscle guys. So you think Yosemite Sam's a good guy? No, but he's not what I'm talking about. Alright, well, you know,

improv is called yes and. But hey, that's alright. That's alright. Yeah, so that type of situation where he's trying to sneak by. So he puts on the burka. No, but the guys are like, oh, excuse me, ma'am. Yeah. And he's like, no problem. Right, right. Well, maybe he doesn't want to do that. Like, oh, excuse me, ma'am. Yeah. And he's like, no problem. Right.

Right. Well, maybe he doesn't want to do that. Like, oh, she's flirting. Stone her today. Stone her. Get her in the square. She's a witch. A witch.

So you don't know what your head looks like. Is that what you're saying? Yes. It looks good to me. Thank you. Got a nice melon over there. Thank you. What do you think your head looks like?

I've been told I look like Ewan McGregor. Okay. Like maybe one of those guys. So you're fat. I'm more, I thought you were talking about. You're not saying you're fat? No, I thought you were talking about the shape of your head versus your face. Because you were going to say, I don't know what my head looks like.

I don't know what either looks like, essentially. What do you mean? You know what your face looks like. I know, but you know how you look at people and you're like, alright, they're that type of person. They should be wearing this. If I were to think about it fashionably, which I don't, but if I were, I'd be like, well, they should

probably have a beard and I don't know like a sword around their like hanging from their waist I don't know is this you just trying to tiptoe towards carrying a sword yes and like you're just trying to be like some guys are supposed to do that you know you like look at a guy and he has

pantyhose and a sword you know like that makes sense yes okay I see what you're getting at no but like I don't know I just don't know. And it's weird too because like I date. I'm not like the type of guy who gets a lot of like. I get pussy? And like I don't know what I look like.

No, there's that too. Like I don't know how hot or not hot I am. Because like I don't like walk into a bar and like have girls flirting with me ever. But I eventually usually date pretty hot women i think okay relative to uh-huh no would you say yeah that's because uh i would say overall confidence is uh what the ladies are looking for right if you look good that's a plus and i'm a cocky asshole oh yeah you you got. You got a big old cock. Yes.

Is that what we're talking about? It's a cogney. Ah, you got a big cogney accent. Is that what you said? Look at the size of that man's cock. Ah, who's oldest, then? Like, ooh, right. That's a burka guy.

Flimmy buddy, we can pack you, poor. Even the burka guy's like, ooh, hello. Hello. Listen, you got a good head. You got a nice haircut. Set your watch to that thing. What? It's what Abe Simpson said about...

Set your watch. Yeah, he said it about Johnny Unitas. There's a haircut you can set a watch to. Really? Yeah, because he's talking about Joe Namath and his wild hair. He's like, look at that hair. Shave that head. Joe Namath, now there's a haircut you can set your watch to.

We've got to support this Super Bowl thing or it might go under. Yeah. watched it we gotta support this super bowl thing or it might go under yeah yeah um oh i i did um speaking of being cocky yeah i had this are we are we like arrogant snobby guys i don't think so okay i mean are we better than a lot of people yeah sure but that's that's on them for being such pieces of shit somebody like kind of told me that about our podcast that we're snobby kind of that we're that like our joke is that we're like what fucking ass pretentious what peon with a low iq so i can step on their skull to the top you Show me who they are. They probably have a low paying job. Yeah.

Receive government assistance. No. But like, I don't know. I feel like with my comedy, sometimes on stage, the character I'm portraying or whatever, not that I'm totally in character, but it's kind of like snobby guy. Your point of view. Well, that's classic comedy. The guy who's acting like he knows it all is the butt of the joke.

Yeah, exactly. It's funny. Yeah. So what does this piece of shit say? I can't remember who it was, number one, but they just kind of like... They were coupled. They were like, no, I like your humor. It's kind of like snide and you you know you kind of like pick on the guests somewhat right um i i first of all i like that

you're like i don't remember who it was but i honestly don't it goes against what we're trying to say like yeah we're just man of the people you know i don't know who this is one of the some nameless moron another faceless jerk in the crowd had the audacity to talk around yeah the brass balls his name i'll know who he is when i spot his brass balls for making eye contact with me that's who this fella is got a nice set of yabbo um yeah i think that's just like that's always like uh that type of humor it goes in the same way like normally when we're busting balls it's like uh showing how dumb we are right thing and then you know that's that's just like a part of our comedy is like well like uh some playful ripping you know you're gonna make fun of some stuff here and there and i i subscribe to the the the thought of uh you make fun of the people that you like right

like i've had i've had people tell me like could you like chill out with like making fun of me and like oh like no like i to me what i think how often does that happen yeah it was just it was just once with like a like a like a it wasn't like a major thing yeah i've had that too actually yeah and it's not and it and i was like no no it's the opposite i think it's so funny because i love you so much right i would never like that's what makes it so funny yeah yeah and like i remember like yeah like he was dressed really well and i was like hey man could you dress you know nice for once or something like that right and obviously like he was going to like had a tie and looks really nice and i was like jesus christ man just roll

out of fucking bed what the fuck's wrong with you and obviously i did like i was just wearing a flannel and you know and uh so i don't know i like that type of stuff where it's like i think that's a part of like being a comedian too like when like oh they're making fun of me that means they like me like it's way worse if somebody's like you know like if you're wearing you know like something stupid and somebody's like hey there you go all right you know like nobody's being honest with you and that type of thing like but that said i'm definitely a pussy where like i don't want people to go that far where they're picking apart my insecurities. But if you can fuck around and that type of thing, I think that's totally fine.

Could you please stop making fun of me? No, I've actually had that too, unfortunately. Well, yeah, it was worded something like that. Just like, hey, what's going on? What do you mean? Yeah, I've had that. I've had that probably more times than I feel comfortable. yeah I don't know what it is I think yeah it's always that exact situation to where I like think they're my pal and we're

joking around and I think they like it yeah and then they're like what the hell man like what I thought we were you know if I you know I mean usually you can just genuinely be like you know know, I'm sorry. I really didn't. I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings. Yeah. I can understand I go too far sometimes. Right.

Right. Yeah. So that's pretty much happened. When I took a dump on your mom's grave, it's because I like you. I spray painted fag on your forehead because I would never do that to you. That's why it's funny when i caused you to have a psychotic break by constantly mentioning those horrible things that happened to you and mocking them in front of everyone yes look man i wished you were dead because i don't wish you

would be dead it's irish yeah oh you're a fucking idiot you're not gonna get it you're not gonna get it you know that's fine some people don't yeah and again i'm saying that because i love you you worthless piece of shit let me stress this please um yeah so i there might be like an element of that but it's you know it's it's all in fun right but i think you know um i don't know i i think that that type of stuff's funny but um yeah and it definitely like a slap in the face when they don't know i i think that that type of stuff's funny but um yeah and it definitely like a slap in the face when they don't say anything just like hey uh okay you're like no nobody wants to mention the dumb hat i have on no no one cares okay um let's see uh chris shirt that you're currently wearing yeah that's a good fish shirt that's uh my nightmare oh really it was

a good shirt yeah dude you know how nightmare oh really that's a good shirt yeah dude you know how i have like that phobia oh yeah maybe i shouldn't be talking about that on the podcast yeah you have a fear of me wearing shirts yes is this weirding you out um it's weird to look at not quite it isn't quite realistic enough i'm showing mike my dick by the way it doesn't look like the real purportedly your dick yeah it's it has plato all over plato what do you think of this you got socrates all over yeah that dick has a philosophy written all over it my dick's just through a book i don't know any stuff plato wrote what did he write the great Great Gatsby? He wrote The Da Vinci Code, I think. Yeah, that was him.

That was him. No, he wrote The Adventures of Socrates. Socrates and Friends? The fuck did he write? Now that I think about it, I can't, I don't know, like what his books were called. Yeah, I feel like they're easy. It's like The Testament, The Tempest, The Shining. We'll come back to it. like the testament the tempest the uh shining uh we'll come back to it see this is why we're not snide we're very dumb very dumb

i don't know books uh what was it he came up with atlantis hey yeah there you go the uh the disney movie Is that what you're talking about? Well, yeah, it's based on it. It is. No, I know. Let me ask you this. What are your plans for Christmas, Michael? Well. And do you have a New Year's resolution?

Worshiping the Lord. Of course. That's no different than any other day. So I just assume that's going to be a part of your ritual. And of course, by the Lord, I mean myself. The Lord's in the house. Same old thing, just seeing the family. I will tell you, though, this Christmas is a little interesting

in that every last one of my family members, except for my brother-in-law, is an asshole. Is dead. So that'll be strange. So it gonna be a boring christmas no but every single one like i'm just giving them money for like buying it's all like group presents yeah so i owe money to like everyone i'm only getting one real present right i i hate after a certain age i don't think we should do gifts like in the family i usually make out better than i give so really well kind of with my parents you know i

come from a smaller family so it's it was me and then i have uh my two cousins like people we would go see every christmas so there were three kids and then there's my dad, my mom, and then my aunt, my uncle, and then a grandma. So it's pretty small. But then as like the kids got older, we, you know,

there was no real need to get us stuff. Like we have jobs. Like it's fun when you're like 11 or 12 but now it's like, you know, and you like the gifts that you get but it starts to become like

send me what you want and I'll send you what I want. And then it's like, like dude i don't want to just go get shit on your list like you can go i i'll take care of my list you get your stuff yeah i i do have to admit like my parents still kind of spoil us like i think they still like doing that and right not not in like super luxurious ways like sports cars but just like lots of like candy stuffed into the the uh stocking and stuff and like yeah fun silly things you know uh and now that there's like actual little kids now that my sister has kids like it's fun i don't mind getting them stuff but everybody else that can afford my sister's

kids presents yes i love getting them so i'm gonna get them a little uh drone a little mini drone drone for kids um yeah it's just like uh yeah everybody that can buy themselves their own shit like it just seems weird i like the part about hanging out and you know eating and all that stuff and having family time but then it just gets weird because nobody really knows what anybody likes it's like hey right i got you that uh yeah pants and they're like hey all right my parents still think i believe in Santa too. Really? Does he show up? You have to put the cookies out

and all that stuff. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where's dad? Oh, he's taking a nap. He's sitting on his lap. That would be a good prank to try to convince someone that I genuinely still believed in Santa.

Yeah. Like, no, no, I believe in Santa. Yeah. But as far as resolutions. I was, oh, sorry, real quick was i was joking the other day about uh they asked me if i believed in santa and it's like well i was kind of raised on santa but i don't believe like i culturally identify as santa but i don't yeah that's good but i you know i don't believe in him but i mean you know i believe that there is this see i don't think s Santa has to be some white guy with a red.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That's not what he is, you know. I identify as a Santa. Everyone's view of Santa is equally as valid. Right. There's an energy from the North Pole. Yes.

That gives people presents. Every year on the same day. Speaking of, we have a sketch out. Alex and I wrote a sketch and uh uh our good friend joy malinsky is a really good director directed it and edited it and peter muth is in it as santa and uh it's called uh sant or christmas sucks for santa and it's all about uh santa's plight every year is that up yeah it's up people should check it out um yeah it's really good and then we have um we lucked out because uh jess hankin who's a very funny improviser um in the baltimore improv group with us i put it out on facebook when we were trying

to do this sketch it's like does anybody have a santa suit that we can borrow and she's like yep and then we wanted to shoot it with a family and then i was like oh man and then alex and i were talking you don't have a family i can borrow yeah that's what i literally what i wrote and she was like yep it's like oh nice and her husband aaron hankin is in uh in radio so he can perform a little bit too and then they have two young kids so it was perfect for the sketch so we just shot it at their house were you tempted to be, anyone have a thousand bucks I can borrow? Yep. Yep. Yes, I do.

Yep. And Aaron Hankin, speaking of him and podcasting, he got a shout out on the serial podcast. Did he? The biggest podcast in the world. That's what I hear. Next to ours. They always have to put an asterisk next to that. They review different serials every week.

Yep. Lucky charms. That's how it is. Oh, yeah. That seems to be what everybody's talking about. Lucky Charms. That's how it is. Oh, yeah. That seems to be what everybody's talking about. It's good. It's interesting. Besides my new haircut.

Yeah. Well, no, that is what the podcast is about. You haven't heard? Mike's new hair. Yeah. Mike Moran's haircut. Five million people are like, what's the deal? That's like its own song and stuff.

Yeah. Well, let me hear your haircut song. How would it go? It's like a rock and roll. Number three. Shoulder on the sides. Shave that neck. It sounds like a rock and roll circus.

It is. Okay. There's elephant sounds and stuff in the beginning. I want it to be like a rock and roll circus like okay there's like elephant sounds and stuff in the beginning i wanted to be like a rock and roll circus type of thing can you hear like the buzzers coming on and that type of thing and there's that blue water yeah you hear like the chair go up oh that's fun that's you hear like the the the the woman like lightly singing along to like whatever like in sync song is uh-huh and you're trying not to stare at her boobs when she's like evening out your sideburns yeah i hear you and you kind of want her to be pressed up against you just a little bit just graze me my woman was like singing you call your the lady that cuts

your hair is your woman what do i call her my hairdresser yeah when you say my woman sounds like you're dating my woman my old lady who the fuck says that that's so weird but uh weirdly she was singing like if you could see this haircut the bitch fell out you know it's always like the worst radio station you've ever heard in your life it's like yeah yeah but like weirdly pearl jam's daughter came on uh- on and she was like singing the entire chorus. Yeah. It's so weird. She like knew all the words. That's not bad.

I was like, do they play this on? Yeah, maybe. So I'm going to have to maybe change the way I look at Pearl Jam. Start listening to those top 40 stations, man. Yeah. So what's the resolution? What's the plan? You know, I'm pretty happy with everything that I'm doing right now.

I don't think I want to change anything other than I need to write a song. Oh, okay. I don't know if I'm going to do like... I think it's very doable. Maybe I'll obligate myself to one new piece a month or something. I think you can do that. Yeah. Nice.

What about you? I'm going to try to get braces this year. Really? Yeah. Nuh-uh. I'm going for it. Are you serious? Not like going to try to get braces this year. Really? Yeah. I'm going for it. Are you serious? Not like standard, but Invisalign. Dude, you don't need braces.

I do. No, your teeth are part of your charm. Oh, stop it. Let me see them. No. Come on. No. No, they're cute.

Oh, stop. I don't want to show them. I don't want to show them. What if you're really ugly? But that's the thing. I've had them before. And that's like my teeth have moved. Because I lost my retainers and I was wearing them.

And then I wasn't. And then they just moved. Teeth gentrified. They did. And mine are the shitty neighborhood. Good teeth left. Someone else's mouth. No, I mean, they're not terrible.

But I mean, I just haven't been to the dentist in years anyway so i made an appointment and then i like i did that and i had like 8 000 terrible cavities i think that's what i have and i still have my wisdom teeth so i think they're just gonna fucking light a piece of dynamite and just like shove it in my mouth and be like all better it is bullshit how much attention we have to spend on teeth a ton and then it's like the prima donna of bone the fact like yeah definitely and the fact that like much attention we have to spend on teeth. A ton. And then it's like the prima donna of bone. The fact like, yeah, definitely. And the fact that like everything that we have today,

like even all the stuff that I'm doing, like I'm barely keeping up with my teeth and like I'm fine, like way fucking better than George Washington's were. You know what I mean? Like I'm barely trying, like what did the rest of the, like teeth must've just shit the bed immediately.

Well, number one, how did anybody do anything? How did anybody make it through the winter without heat? Yeah. I'm with you. I'm with you. How did that suck to never be in the heat? Yeah. Or just even if you are inside, it's not insulated.

There's, like, cracks in the wood and your stupid dirt floor. What did it suck? Well, really, how did anybody do anything before GPS, number one? That was like five years ago. Dude, I was so pissed. I was trying to work on a bit about this, but like I was in between phones for like a day, and I had to go out to Essex to do a show in Maryland, and I had to go to fucking, I had to go to Google Maps on my laptop

and then write down the directions like a fucking animal. What is this, the 1400s? I know. The Columbus? I know. Looking at the stars. Yeah. And then, like, everybody used to do that.

Like, God, I would get so fucking lost without a GPS. We forget the age that we live in so easily. Yeah. It's crazy. But I don't think people's teeth were necessarily as bad because they weren't constantly drinking sugar. I guess that's a part of it, but there still has to be some upkeep. I mean, they were still like, you know. There's stuff you could do, but probably not.

I mean, like no one, whenever you see an old timey picture, literally no one is smiling with their teeth. Yeah, that's a good point. No one. But I'm pretty sure like, that's a good point. No one. But I'm pretty sure like tribal people don't have fucked up teeth all the time. Yeah, my friend Ryan and we tried this. He saw something online that it was like we burnt something. It might have even been like charcoal. It was something weird like charcoal and lime or something like that.

And this was like somebody did, I don't know. Why? I'm trying not to sound racist here and say some tribe did it, but I don't know who, but some ancient thing. How is that racist? I don't know. I don't know. A bunch of savages figured out you put lemon on a charcoal briquette

and you get clean teeth. You know what it actually says, like savages in the uh uh bill of rights it like refers to native americans as savages in the bill of rights a racial slur in the bill of rights good for them good for them um yeah so i don't know whatever he did he burned something and put something in it and i remember putting on my teeth and then feeling really clean really uh i don't think they got whiter but they probably had shit like that. Some type of weird thing. Yeah, maybe so.

But I mean, they lived off of like, you know, like grains and berries. But still, even if you're just drinking water and eating unprocessed shit, like your teeth are like, you still have to brush dog's teeth. Yeah. I mean, people were probably pretty disgusting by our standards. That's what I mean. They probably didn't have cavities the same way we do. But I bet their teeth were rotting out of their skulls.

But I think it's only sugar that causes rot, isn't it? I think it's just food in general. You can eat a meal before you go to bed, and then the next day your teeth are going to get gross. I mean, even if it's not sugar, it's still like your teeth are yellow and that type of thing yeah well i think every i think teeth were pretty much yellow until recently probably like real yeah i think they were yeah also they're way too white way too white now um that said i'm gonna get veneers tomorrow no uh no i just need to go to the dentist and then figure out this wisdom teeth thing.

Yeah. And then maybe I can straight some of these puppies up. We'll see. Yeah. We'll see. Straight them out. That's what I'm going to try to do. Let's get the straight teeth.

Yeah, exactly. All right, so that's your resolution and what else? That's it. That's it. Can a resolution be a goal? Is a resolution something you need to change? You resolve to do something different. Okay. That's kind of a goal, I think.

Right, but it doesn't mean you have to change something. Some people are like, I want to go to the gym and be less fat or whatever. I guess a goal would be like a specific change yeah while a resolution is a behavior okay okay i think i would like to behave like somebody that doesn't have wisdom teeth so i'm gonna try to get that done right if if need be but but yeah i mean i fucking i have good insurance and as i'm paying for this shit so it's like a $30 copay to go to the dentist. That's really worth it. Yeah, that's fine.

And if orthodontics have to happen, they cover half of it. So that's pretty good. Good. I went to the dental school. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you got good teeth. Yeah, they're fine.

I don't know what's going on with your head. I don't know about the shape of your head. Yeah, no, my teeth are... Well, I mean, mean yeah they look fine but like uh backstage there's some shenanigans going on oh yeah behind the curtain yeah well one of my teeth is now like a robot tooth which is awesome i kind of want them all to be like that what does that mean it's a big silvery shiny metallic tooth wow great i was uh i was telling somebody uh like the military dogs that they have. There's a special breed of crazy dogs they can jump out of planes with and stuff.

It kind of sounds like you're talking about people, like soldiers. No, not those military dogs. No, I call the military dogs. That's what I call them. The dogs that they use for bomb sniffing and all kinds of shit like that. They can take them out of planes?

Yeah, they have them strapped to their chest like the dudes that are jumping out and they have like little goggles for them and everything but they don't they don't freak out they have like adorable goggles yeah but they're total bad like from the second they're born they're raised to be badasses right but um there something happened i don't know if they did it with a bunch of dogs. I forget. But their teeth got messed up, one of the dogs. Again, I don't know if it's one or several or all of them. But their canines were like this metal alloy thing. And they just look like total fucking badass.

First of all, it's a military dog. And then it shows its teeth and they're metal. You're like, holy shit. That's the look you got. You're a military dog. military dog my man all right let's wrap this thing up yes you got anything else to add anything else to add uh as you yawn into the uh the microphone um thomas wants to have us on comedy shoeshine at some point okay this guy i swear to god i uh i blink my eyes this guy is another podcast yeah he's noticed that himself every time josh gaderno blinks his eyes it's like
