Yeah. Oh, you know what's a good show for this? It's a new, you would never watch it, but you should. Daredevil. Young Sheldon. Oh, yeah. You know what? I never.

Young Sheldon. Friends that laugh. We're friends that shout. Sometimes we don't know what we're talking about, but that won't stop us. Nothing can stop us. How much stuff do you have to have over there on the desk? Like, what is that? I have.

Coffee, a banana. a stupid big wallet nail clippers nail clippers your keys soda water and then regular water what's going on over there

I understand it's a lot to look at it's a bit like still life but and your phone it's like so much yeah it's just I don't want to have to get up

and I want all of these things it's very simple I brought a banana because you know you're going to probably get your stupid chicken burrito and after in the middle I don't want to get that and so I'll eat a banana and then you know it's good why does the burrito have to be stupid well it's it's good you know it's good it's not stupid you thought thank you because you thrown me under the bus no it's not stupid yeah you get the chicken you're sometimes it's it's good I'm not gonna you know I just did it for comedic effect but you know yeah so dude I was in Pensacola this past week weekend. Oh yeah and so and so how was it? Okay. And then the first night you're right right we heard all about this. Yeah I really like like you had an existential moment here yeah legit I was having

I was in my feelings because it's like it's a little thing I probably shouldn't have even gone because it's not even like I made a bunch of money because it's only like it only holds like 65 people or something like that you know right right right and the guy was trying he was like hey man I'm trying I was like, all right, let's do it, you know? But then the first night, it's like 12 people. Right. And I'm thinking to myself, so all that I've done in my life, my career. You are in Pensacola, but.

Still, I can't get 60 people to come in Pensacola. It really made me feel like, what am I doing? Yeah. You know, and then you see like, you know, oh, my God, everything that's going on with like comedy and stuff, I just go like, okay. Well, that, yeah. Maybe I just need to be an actor. That's how I was feeling.

I was really like in my feelings. And then the next day I was back, baby. We'll tell us. So wait. Woo! You sent. So you sent a picture of what the room looks like. Yeah.

It looked abysmal. Okay. First of all, I know a picture can go either way sometimes. Yeah, but this is because it's, okay, because this is the first night. It's the first night. But this is the kind of thing where the guy's like, he does comedy shows. Yeah. And he finally found a spot.

Okay. Now the spot was like, it's in a. brewery in the warehouse of the brewery yeah I've done those in the closet of the warehouse

right right in the freezer right oh geez okay yeah with a big barn door you go in and they're doing it there

I remember my first thing I said the first night I was like oh they for sure had clan meetings in here oh it felt like a secret like you know this is where the Pensacola

Illuminati meet right right right to like decide the town business yeah you're in the south anyway Yeah, but you know what? Pensacola's a nice town. It is.

It's a really nice town. I went to a really nice restaurant. The dude, like I said, the dude that runs the show, a cool kid, and I do it again. But what I'm saying, though, is like, my question I want to ask to you is like, you know, you ever have a kind of moment? Like, we've been doing this a long time. And sometimes you have nights where you're just like, I just had a, there's one of these nights where I was like, I don't know why I'm doing this. Yeah. I really was like, I need to open up a coffee shop or something.

I just had that moment. But then the next two nights were like, yes, but still. So you did Saturday and Sunday? Yeah. It was just one show a night. Yeah. And so did you, and the second show? It was Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Okay. And it was full? Yeah. The second one. The next two were full. Well, Thursday is a tough sell. Still, man. I don't agree, dude.

I don't agree. I think a Thursday night in Pensacola, you selling 12 tickets and you're still there for the rest of the weekend and it went well. And I guess you didn't know that. I didn't. Thursday. Yeah, I didn't. It didn't until like the next day he was like, hey man, it's really selling. You know?

Yeah. I, dude, I think it's really hard. I mean, like, you know, look, I did Fort Wayne and I didn't have it on my website. You know, I didn't have it on my website. Remember? And I was like, oh, by the way, I'm going to be in Fort Wayne. The late Friday show, look, I've been doing it for a while. I've, I've been selling tickets for a long time. You know, I'm an established comedian. The late Friday show wasn't sold out. And, uh, um, I've been doing it. Uh, you know, You know, it wasn't a particularly huge room. But I'm like, you know, I could have been like, oh, wow. Because it all has to do with promotion.

If the right people saw that you were going to be there. Well, that, no, for sure. Yeah. For sure, that's the thing because I still had people hitting me up. Like, I didn't know you were going to Pennsylvania. Right, right. Of course. It's like, people always think they're a fan.

They say they're a fan. Oh, gosh. And then they're like, you know, I'm, dude, I'm a huge fan. Just look at my website once. You're just like, bro, it's like, you know. know it's there but you know I don't know I'm just yeah I get it I get it you have those moments yeah yeah yeah I just say have you do you have those moments yeah yeah even you guys listening people listen you ever have moments you ever go to work and you're just kind of like why am I

doing this job you ever just have those moments yeah but then but then don't answer that Nick but sometimes but sometimes you so so because sometimes you can I mean 12 people's kind of you know tough but you can turn that into a special night and you're like wow you know what it was 12 people, but it wasn't that. It wasn't that. Yeah, because that does happen. Because I've had that many times. I don't care.

Like, I've been to like a place to have like 500 seats and it's just only the front row. And I have the best time of my life. Right, right, right. Oh, here we go. So Derek feel bad about 12 on a Thursday. Honestly, no, but also kind of. Let me break it down. I don't care what this, this soulless monster has to say about.

Yeah. City proper small. It's about 53. Yeah. So, I mean, well, look. You know, you prematurely felt bad. I understand that it was the Thursday. But, you know, look, it's at every level you go, you know, I was talking to my opener at,

when I was in Schaumburg, who's a great guy. And he's been doing it for 13, 14 years. And, you know, he was like, I said, what's the dream? We got into a conversation. I was like, what's the dream of you? The dream is to go to any city and be able to sell like at least 100 tickets. I'd be happy. And I'm like, dude, at every level, it's that, you know, because I, because I, I, I,

You know, it was funny, he could, that's so achievable. I know. No, no, I know. And then once he achieves that, he's going to be like, I know, I know. Oh, God, I know. I should have, but I, but I look at him, but I look at him and I'm like, you know, that is the dream. Yeah, yeah. You know, like I look at, sometimes I look at Matt Rife playing.

And I go in Dublin, 10,000 people. I'm like, that's crazy. I played, you know, 400 people in Dublin. And I'm like, that, that is just crazy. how many people show up. And I go, is that the dream? Yeah. And then I'm like, yeah, sure it is, but it's all the dream.

Dude, if you could show up and perform for people, you're doing your job, dude, you're a professional comedian. You're also good. You know that. But like, you're doing what you set out to do and you get to do that. You're going to have those nights. And they're far in between, a few far in between, you know, but like, of course you're going to have one of those in Pensacola on a Thursday.

Well, still. It doesn't matter where it was. It was just the nature. of the whole thing you know what I mean the travel to get there was terrible yeah yeah like you know all that kind of stuff you know yeah but the funny things I remember uh you do you know Mike Feeney is I know I was on comics on leased with him okay oh yeah you told me that's why I know him because you told me about him yeah Mike Fee's funny he's he's he has a funny podcast anyway yeah there yeah yeah yeah funny dude young good looking kid you know what I mean so we're sitting in the

he looks like he should be around in the 60s I know right but after the taping we're sitting there eating lunch, you know, and we just talk about the business like this. Yeah, you told me this. Did I tell you this? I think you told me this on here, but what happened? I don't even. You did. Oh, well, whatever.

Go back and watch that episode. But anyway, the point is when he says like, you know, he said, uh, oh, right, right, right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I know, I remember. I don't want to be in my 50s and I was like, welcome to my world. You know what I'm saying is like, it just reminds me if you're, the guy saying, like,

I just want to sell 100 tickets, right? I just want to do this. I just want to do that. I don't know if we really know what we want until we realize how the business rates. Look, you know, until you live and also living your life and you buy a house and you have a kid and you're like, oh, oh, well maybe that hundred tickets needs to be 500 because, you know, you don't know.

To, to, look, I've, I've said this a lot and this is so true. To me, like, obviously I've made it. I've had ups and downs. I've, dude, the only thing harder, for me, the only thing harder than making it was realizing that I already had. You just, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, don't need more. You don't need more.

And I'm not saying, don't try to get more. But like you, you, you sincerely just, you know, if you've got, if you're happy sometimes,

you've made it, dude. No, no, I totally agree. And I'm not saying you don't know this, but yeah, no, but it's just like you,

you, I don't know, when the business gets compartmentalized as much as it has, uh, from when I started, you know, when I started,

it was like the business. has had more of a path of like you were trying to get on a TV show and and always the goal was to be in movies. Right. You know what and now it's like. Now it's like, no, this is like it's so compartmentalize. It's like there are people now that they're podcasters. Yeah.

There are podcasters who do, you know, they do live events. Even if they're doing stand up or not, it doesn't matter. Right. Right. That's the thing. Yeah. You know, then now if you wanted, if your dream was to be an actor, it has actually zero effect on the other part. They're not connected at all anymore. Right, right, right. You know, there are people who are just stand-ups.

There are people, and, you know, and those people have been grandfathered in. Yeah, now at this point. Yeah, I feel like it's older people like, you know, that, you know, like D.L. Hughley would be just a stand-up. Yeah, I wonder, like, I mean. Personality. I mean, it's so different now. It is so different.

There's people that are on TV shows and no one knows who they are. What I'm saying in terms of like, does it translate over for stand-up? It doesn't at all. No, I know. It doesn't at all. So you have to decide, and I love acting. I really didn't. I love doing that.

And if that was all I was doing, I'd be fine with that too. Oh, really? Yeah, because I love doing stand-up. But then I don't love the business of stand-up. So, but I do love doing stand-up. So that's why I love doing local spots. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I still go downtown to the upstairs or wherever.

That's actually a good club, though. Yeah, but I'm not bad. No, I know, it's just a drive. Yeah, just a drive. You know, so I'm like, I enjoy all of that. part of it but then when it becomes like okay you have to make this your living and right right right then if that's when that's when it becomes like oh god i got to get on this plane sure yeah yeah yeah you get oh god i had to take three flights to the the the other day you know

so it's like yeah you know what i mean dude um yeah i do know what you mean i definitely know what you mean but schaumburg was fun i oh yeah you know that have you ever done that improv out there No, the Chicago area, no, no, because I was always doing zanis. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, that's right. They have the zanis. But, yeah, it was, it's awesome there. I'm so glad I did it.

But, yeah, my whole family got sick and I, and I somehow escaped it. Oh, really? Yeah, not crazy? Oh, God. I think it's because I, they're all, they're okay now, but. It's because you're around germs all the time. Yeah, I, well, yeah, I, I really wonder what it is. I think, you think, you think I have a.

No, no, no, no, I think, come. comics are like roaches. I have very good in more ways than one. I have very good, um, I have a very good immune system, I think because, and I'm, that may be a reason because, but once I dialed in my sleeping, my, my body fights at all. Yeah, but think of the mics. You're always, yeah, yeah, yeah. So do you get, do you? No, I don't get sick a lot of either. No, but I'm saying like that does that actually help for real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beyond a certain age. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it does. I think it affects your immune system. Great. There, there, there's so many things they talk about like kids that grow up, like the kids that are in a

place where there's dogs and roaches and stuff like that that their immune system really stuck but i guess that makes sense when you're coming of age but what i'm saying is as a 35-year-old can you still build that because you've been doing it since you're in your 20s i think we've i think it's a built-up of an immune from just being on a plane all the time i think our bodies are like always prepared for like oh oh you're about to get on that united flight to whatever yeah yeah yeah isn't it dude isn't it crazy that spirit airlines just went out of business Now it's real spirit airlines. Yeah.

Yeah, they kind of made sure that was going to happen. But why did they, yeah, they, I feel like they must have been hurting for a while. I know, but they didn't want, they just stopped. Like you could have been waiting for a connecting flight and they just went. They just went. Oh, got it. We're done. That's it.

You think people are stuck in the air? Sorry, we're not in a business. he's like a lost the captain comes out with a parachute on like yeah I'm done we're out of business where do you guys want to go

we can go anywhere I don't know I don't know how that works how does that happen yeah well I think they wanted to try to merge but I to me it seems like something like their deal

a bunch of their deals went through and then they that's some fucking back back door people are shady whatever it happened there, they fuck the Spirit Airlines. Or just in the middle of the meeting, they were like, no, it's not going to work. Somebody called and said, yeah, we're done.

Shut it down. Yeah. I saw a thing that said Elon Musk was trying to buy it, but I can't believe it because, you know, what's crazy about the internet is like you see the headline and the picture and you always forget to look at who this is from. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was just somebody. Yeah.

So I don't know if it was real or not, but like, why would, like, you know, if you had that kind of money. You're getting, you're upwards of getting towards a trillion dollars, first trillion air. Yeah, you don't buy a private jet. You buy an airline. But why would you buy Spirit Airlines? I don't know, I guess. Well, what, you say that he's not buying Spirit Airlines. He's buying planes and the infrastructure and then he's going to turn it into, you know, Musk Air. Right, right, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I don't know if that's a good name. Would be a good name for Elon Musk. You know what I mean? I kind of like musky air. You know how Vegas hotels sometimes have a smell?

They spray some of it. That's what he would have. Oh, yeah, yeah. He would spray some kind of like. He should have a cologne. Why doesn't he have a cologne? Musk by Elon. Yeah, that's true.

Musk is the perfect name for it. Yeah, let's take a break, Chrissy. Yeah. I'm really getting into the U.S.C., man. You know, and Nick's great about sending me the stuff. I know he is. It's going to be a good fight. I see him.

fuck, dude? What? You've seen it, yeah? You mean that two decades ago? Yeah, man. Okay. All right. Yeah.

Did you finish Goonies too? That, yes. I've actually, I don't know if I've seen Goonies. It was a long time ago. You haven't seen Goonies? I don't know. That's a classic. What are you talking about?

I finished it for the first time. Okay. You're not going to get credit for something you should have done. Like we talk about fucking, we talk about anything on this podcast. I talk about how I talk about how I. I saw the greatest TV show of all time. And this guy's just like, you should have been done it? Okay.

I understand. Okay. So how was it? It's unbelievable. It's the, let's you, Nick, stop sneezing. It's the greatest show of all time. You think so? Yes.

No, I don't think so. What's better? I look, breaking bag, I understand that's up there. Yes, it's one or the other. There's a few shows that are. Yeah. But Sopranos, there is not. I mean, I haven't seen every show, obviously.

Well, I just feel like sometimes shows go too long. Not that show. I thought that last season was, I think that. Oh, man. I didn't like how it ended. Did you like the ending? Yes. I don't think there's ever been a better ending on a TV show.

Okay. That is, that, that is just, I, I, I, last night, I said, I was great. Last night, I'm saying it's bad. It's so long ago. I can't stop thinking about it. I, I, last night I finished it. I cannot stop. thinking about it. I finished

Project Helmary book before you. Yeah, I'm still on my, I'm my third purchase of that book. I keep leaving it in a hotel rooms. Really? I'm on page 340 or something. Oh, God. You finished it? I finished it. Is it good? It's really good. Yeah, I know. I'm gonna The books really, the book's really, that guy though,

the author, he's so, he must be a geek. Well, you got to, here's the thing about He's a nerd, man. You could, I, I think that you can learn about and listen about listen to a story be enveloped in a story about anything if the person cares about it enough and that dude obviously is like science is the best thing of all time so oh for sure yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so you're like all right well what's up because i read i read the martian yeah okay and he's like no it's the same thing yeah oh my god he's like you know a hydrogen yeah and a plan making a plan

yeah i don't give a fuck but you do care if the guy cares it's like three chapters of like yeah yeah if you cut the science out of that it's just like a you know but but That's why I talk about when I talk about pants. It's so fantastic because I'm passionate about it. You know what I mean? God, this guy is pants. Did you know he was only 37 when it started? It's insane.

It's insane. He's 37 right there? Yeah, but it's insane to know that. If you told me he was 46, would you believe that? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I, what I, what, the weird thing is, um, like, there's just guys that just look like, in their 40s, you know?

Like there's just men that just look in their 40s, you know? And like, what is you? But what would you say was your favorite thing about this show? Like, why was this show good to you? This show was probably my favorite thing about this show. Well, there's a few things, really, but some of them or one of them is how, well this show and you don't this isn't about the show necessarily but this changed TV like this before this there was a good guy and a bad guy on TV they were after each other this guy is the most

despicable person and you and he's the lead of the show and you're at times wanting him to win you're feeling for him you know and and TV didn't really didn't do that and they do it now all the time but it's this show is the way this show is humorous and funny is top notch because there are no jokes it's not it's not you wouldn't even say it's a comedy but you could say it's a comedy it's so funny the way they deal with uh the subtlety in the way they tell the story and the way they bring things around by the end of what they're talking about, whatever that be the season or episode or series, is epic in its smallness. I cannot believe how well.

It's like the payoffs of the way they do payoffs when it's not necessarily a big thing like somebody getting shot or something blowing up. It's so satisfying in its subtlety that I've never seen anything like it, dude. I mean, occasionally there's a movie that comes along that does something like this. But for a movie to do it, fine. For this show to do it over and over and over and over and over again, it's like nothing I've ever seen, dude. Yeah, I remember it, but I think it's been a long time since I watched it.

So I don't know if I'm connected to it like that. Yeah, of course. Are unbelievable. He's unbelievable. But I think at the time, though. That's the best written character I've ever seen. But I think at that time, though, there was a lot of, you know, know, fascination with the mafia still.

Not really. There was. At that time, yeah. When was that? When was that? 1999. Okay. So when was Goodfellas casino?

Yeah. But, you know, right. When was all that coming out? But my point is, Goodfellas, casino, all those movies were still writing off the Godfather thing. Godfather was the one that made those movies big, that made mafia movies a genre, right? And then Scorsese kind of held the torch. But what this.

show was about was the dying ages of the mafia and for them to intertwine his real life his family values his you know in the side of this dark business and while it's dying is is just I can't believe how they made this show I mean I know I'm the last guy to watch this show but like you know you might not have enjoyed it yeah maybe not not like this yeah Maybe not like this. You're enjoying it more now because you have the knowledge of what's happening in society and all this kind of stuff. But I mean, it's just. I don't know.

That's good. And the fact that he, I saw him once at the coffee bean, James Gandalfini. You know, I guess it was probably a, I mean, how long before he died? I don't know. Not that long. He died in 2013. It's crazy. Just that.

The lore of it now is just wild, you know. It's, I, I, it's almost like that show happened by mistake. Like, like, like, it's so good. that it's like they say you put a bunch of monkeys in a room eventually they'll write you know the masterpieces you know if time keeps going eventually they'll it's like it's like they i know they meant to make the show good but dude that was like all the stars aligned between everything that was happening in the in the country in the world and then for that show to culminate i i don't know if it could have ever happened at that time it's like it's like in the in the hail-marry book when

when he's like, how did we both meet each other and say, how are we able to save this world? And then the alien, you know, in his alien talk is like, well, because it had to happen when both of us were alive in our timeline. Otherwise, it couldn't have happened. And the guy's like, oh, yeah. It's that simple. Like, you know, if it's going to happen, this is the way. And of course, it's going to happen some way.

so it's like I just can't stop thinking about the fucking show dude I'll tell you I'll tell you this well now you need to watch Game of Thrones I've tried and I will try again but here's this is by the way the third time I tried to watch Sopranos I kept stopping because different things but

but but the this is this is how epic that show is the show the song by Journey don't stop believing that's by Journey right okay I love that song I've always loved that song I'm not going to spoil anything, but the end of this show is that that's the song that's playing. The fact that that song is playing at the end of the show,

a song I love that I already love when it comes on, I think that that show changed the way my, I feel when I hear that song now. That's how epic it is. And I don't know, I just saw it yesterday, so maybe not. Yeah.

But I wonder. I think it's fresh in your head right now. No, that is very true. But my God, dude. I, I don't, I don't understand.

understand how they made that show, dude. And then David Chase, he was just like, he didn't really do much. Yeah, it was like, that's it. That probably took a lot out of them. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? And he was already older. But I don't know.

I'm just trying to think of like, I just think it's like I can remember all the shows in my life. But then you think about what was happening in your life. Yeah. At the time, you know? Yeah. And if I can even go back to childhood and think of like, like, when I think of shows, oh, what are some of your favorite shows?

shows you've ever watched. For me, it's going to be like, you know, bewitched. Sure. Yeah, obviously that doesn't stack up with the Sopranos. I get it. No, no, no. But for you then. Yeah, I was like, you know, I remember watching these kinds of things.

And it was like MASH. Right, right, right, right. You know what I mean? Right, right, right. But even still, I think that I think that I liked MASH because my mother liked MASH. Yeah, I get that. You know what is MASH? You know, you kind of watch.

You go, it's sort of fun. But, you know, dude, MASH. I think like, that. finale of MASH got Super Bowl numbers. Yeah, it did. It did. It was 100 million or something. Yeah.

You know what I mean? For real. So there were five channels back then. But yeah. Yeah. You know, so you think, and then I go forward and I go, I think to myself, I think like there's tent poles like, you know, breaking bad. Yeah.

Like for me, it was like, soprano's one of two. You were just like, well, you have to watch it. Yeah. Yeah. You know, the first few seasons of Dexter. Yeah, I agree. You know. That was great.

Yeah. You know what I mean? And then, yeah. What are you guys? But then for me also Game of Thrones Game of Thrones See the wire for me

It wasn't one of them for me Because there was like Every other season In a wire I was like I only saw three The kid season I didn't like I only saw like three or four seasons

Here's another one Walking Dead The first few Yeah the first two I mean Forget it Yeah so good But then it's like

That shit's still going But but see that This is another thing I think about Subrano's Six seasons The six season was broken up into two, so technically like seven seasons. But that show was on for as long as it was and still good and only got better.

And that is the, I think that's the only time a show went that many seasons and did that, I think. Maybe Breaking Bad. What did you six, five? But yeah. Breaking Bad, it was great all the way through. Man, I can't. Well, I mean, I just think like when I think of Breaking Bad, like, you know, you have like what, like, if you, if you think of a moment in a show that you go, wow.

this defines the show, you know what I mean? Because like if you, because I can think of that like in like the Godfather movie. Right. What defines the godfather is that, him, him sitting in that chair with his father. Right. That's the movie. You know, he's like, I wanted you to be a senator. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the whole movie right there, right?

But you know. A movie's great, yeah. You know what I mean? But when you think of like, you know. The breaking bad moment for me was when fucking, what's his name, the lead, the, the, the, the, Brian Cranston. When he's on the phone talking at the end. and he's talking to his wife and he knows that the phones are being tapped

and he's saying to her I know you had nothing to do with this but you know he's just doing that to save her so the FBI will hear and he's saying these things that are false but you understand what he's really saying and he's crying to that to me

I go this motherfucker that show and him yeah I think it's the same episode for me it was when I think it was like a second or third but I'm saying when he's saying like he's saying like you know

no I I love I loved doing this God that show is so fucking good he was like I love being that guy I was I knew what I was doing you know what I mean I was like oh yeah that that ended great God that that's one of those shows

that that final that final that show was so good but there's a lot of great shows that didn't have a great ending or they rushed through it or they like like Game of Thrones they ruined that show. The last season is like, why did you do that?

Dexter went too long. I heard about this. I heard about this. That sounds awesome. Yeah, sure. Sure does. I mean, they never really, to be honest,

they never really nailed an MK Ultra story, right? Like, I don't think that they did yet. I haven't, I don't know if I've seen it, you know? Like, you can't, you like, they fucking... I feel like just in the last 10 years, even people are aware of... Right, true, yeah.

I mean, some people, more conspiracy-minded people knew about for a long time, but like the general pop. Mm-hmm. Hmm. But there was another show with, what's her face? Oh, my God, from my so-called life. She was just in that. Claire Daines.

Claire Daines. What's that show? Clare Daines was in. Homeland. Homeland. Yeah, but that was like two, three seasons. No, no, no. They went a while.

I think that show fell off, though, right? But what I'm saying, I never, that's one those ones. Like, I never watched that one. I never watched that one about. in the 50s one. People were, people love it. Eight seasons? Yeah.

I heard after two, it's like really severely drops off. I know, but this is what I'm saying, though. It's like, there's a lot of shows like this. People, people, when this was on, people were like, this might be a great show ever. It's a great show ever. You know, it's just like, oh, my guy. But this also, when did this?

So, so it began in, yeah, 2012, 2012. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's like. I should start that. Yeah. Here's, you know, another one that like, what's this? Oh, my God.

What's the one with the girls are wearing red? It was on Hoolool. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Handmaid's tail. Like, the first two seasons of that, I was like, that show is fucking heavy. Yeah. It's just so heavy.

They're holding on the legs. It's just so heavy. But then, again, I feel like went too long. I think when a show or a movie, just a show, really, is based off like a book. Yeah. There's a certain point where,

their producers and everybody, they take over. They veer off into like what they wanted to be. And I think that that's when stuff goes off the rails. You know, sometimes people are getting older and you're feeling it. And you're not, it's not, you're not getting. You got to stop blaming stress, sleep. Yeah. You got to stop blaming getting older when this is fixable.

If bedroom performance is in question, it's probably crossed your mind to do something about it. Okay, well, the good news, you don't have to jump through hoops to fix it.

Like it really could have stretched it out, but like, you know, maybe that would have ruined it. That's the other thing that you realize when you watch the Sopranos, at least for me, because all these mob stories are, they're usually movies. And you really see in Sopranos how you can. can, how it can turn in, how you can explore characters if you have the time, you know, if you have the, the real estate. And, yeah. Well, now I prefer, I prefer, like, a good television

show about stuff. You know what I mean? But especially nowadays, the stars, huge movie stars are doing TV. Yeah. Dude, one time I was in a casino in Atlantic City and one of the Sopranos guys was at a craps table, you know, and I was at the craps table and he was like, you know, it was just me and him actually. Do you know which one it was? Oh God, I forgot the guy. But you know the face. Yeah, I know the face. Yeah. So the guy, you know, and he was just, he was betting the no, the, the, the, the, the no pass line. You know, you know, you understand, crap. Well, like, you could bet with the casino or against the casino.

Right. You know what I mean? Um, and, um, uh, Frank Vincent, Phil, that guy at the far, far end. Where? Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was being such a dick. Really? He was like, yeah, yeah, come, roll that seven. Come on, roll out. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? I was just like, wow, this guy.

I think he's in Goodfellas too. Click on him. Yeah, he was like the real gangstery guy. Yeah. But it was just funny to like how he was acting. Was he in Goodfellas? Yeah, he was. Of course he was in Goodfellas.

All these guys are in all these movies. It is pretty funny how they do that. Yeah, because there's a certain look and only certain people. Look at, look at this guy's. This guy is this. Oh, wow. The title of that, yeah, the title of that one, this thing is ours. The thing is ours

That's hilarious Such a mob Like could that be About anything else Look at that Go to the thing of ours This thing of ours Look at this

Could that be anything else Than a mob thing Oh my dude I'm James Kahn Is that James Kahn? Wow yeah Dude I'm tripping That

Goodfellas Was 1990 Yeah Yeah It was earlier than you thought You keep saying 95 and shit Casino was 95

And you're a stupid bitch for that yeah because yeah but casino was already when the thing was like coming off casino is great but yeah I I prefer Goodfellas

over Casino my brother said my brother thinks casino is the best movie ever made that's my brother thinks wow I wonder why yeah I know he loves it he thinks is great Goodfell 1990 Godfather part three

wasn't as bad as people say there are so many though There's Crossing Monster. Analyze this. Donnie Brasco is fucking great. That one gets forgotten sometimes. Yeah. It was all right.

Oh, come on. Oh, a Bronx tale's great too. Yeah. Oh, I love the Carlito's Way. Oh, that was with Jam. Casino, things, of kiss of death. What was that one?

Bullets over, I don't remember that one, Donnie Brown. Copland. Copeland was, you know what? I remember the one thing I remember about Copeland. I just think, all right, Stallone. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Because at the time, but someone like that would never be in a, like, you know, serious movie. Go to, um, go to, uh, type in James Gandalfini.

I want to see like, because he, he, he doesn't really talk like that. I mean, he talks, he's obviously East Coast, but like,

is there, interview? Yeah, interview. Yeah, but I've seen, but he, wait,

I've seen him in some, some, a lot of things. Yeah. I've seen him in a few things. Yeah. At the time. But that's,

that thing was so, iconic there we go 60 minutes wow yeah he didn't he what i was switching because that had ads oh it's remarkable i mean it's even when you're not being violent there's this this violence it seems like it's going to burst out any second to what extent we are you responsible for that and to what extent did david's was temper doesn't accomplish anything generally it's just a lot of ranting and raving and nothing but uh so david probably saw that and put it into the character I mean I tell you what

The exaggeration of everything This guy's got a very menacing present No no no no he obviously fits the part But this is not That's not how Tony Soprano sounds No no no no He does a real character voice Yeah

But still though there's something about You know the way he looks Oh yeah yeah yeah No he He Right guy for the part I like a good despicable character Yeah but we didn't know that before

1999 is what I'm saying I mean I mean unless it was you know Not as the least lead, but yeah. Yeah, in movies we did. Yeah, yeah. This was, but then again, it was on

HBO, so it's like HBO's like, you know that was originally set up at Fox? Could you imagine? No, it wouldn't have been the same. Well, yeah, no shit. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Can you imagine if it was like a three camera sitcom? Then that one guy comes in and the crowd goes, who. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a great AI thing. Somebody should do that. Sopranos as a three camera sitcom.

I don't know. again, I think in, I think this also is because of the godfather. Without the godfather, just no soprano. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's what I'm saying. You probably would have made the fucking, you probably would have, like, you probably would have made a TV show about the glory days of the mafia. But because Godfather exists, you're like, oh, now what's it like?

Oh, I want to make it. I think that at the dying age of the mafia is interesting. But I think that the idea that you can have a character that is, like you say, despicable and you root for them, there's something about that. And then, because I think it does something for you too. Because I always remember that the scene in the godfather that makes you really feel like that the most is when Kate comes in and she's like, you know, did you do it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don't ask me about my business. You know what I said? I answered it one time. And when he says no, I can just remember being like this. Oh, man, this guy's a motherfucker, dude, right? You know, and then it's just that, how Seinfeld made fun of that. You know, the door closing. I don't know.

Oh, yeah. Because, like, she's looking and then they're kissing his ring. Right. All the evil that he just did. And then you see it on her face, but she realizes like, oh, no. This guy's, I'm married to a monster. Yeah. You know, and that's so good, that part.

But the whole movie, like, you're sort of, like, rooting for him. Yeah. Because it's like, no, he's like, I just, I'm going to make him legitimate. I'm going to do this, you know. But even when, like, even when the girl. gets blown up, the Italian girl. You know, she's like, mom, the Tuesday, Wednesday. You know what I mean?

She gets blown up. And then the next scene, this motherfucker's back in the States trying to get his ex-girlfriend back. Man, how do you remember these things so long? Oh, dude, I love that movie. I love that movie. I still don't remember stuff, though. Oh, man.

Like, I don't even, breaking bad is one of my favorites of all the time. I don't remember how it ended. Oh, this is what I'm saying. while you have a show a show you love the most. If you have a moment in the show and a lot of times

it is in the end. If it's a great thing, that's when the show is great for you. And a lot of these shows, they didn't do that. Dexter didn't do that. But that's what happens. These shows milked you. They milked the money. I know, but that makes it like, so now they, it's almost like they figured it out and they're like coming back.

But I'm not invested anymore because I'm like, nah, you shouldn't have done this. Right. Yeah, I didn't even watch that new one. Me neither. Yeah. You know, I heard it's good, though. Yeah, but it was like, I actually started to watch the first episode, and it was too many

flashbacks of people. And I was like, ah, this guy's dead and that guy's dead. I don't care about this. You know, so, but I'm saying, like, like I say, I think Breaking Bad had that. Uh-huh. I think Sopranos had that. Yeah. You know, but then there's ones that have like bad, you remember bad things.

Right. The Game of Thrones. I thought that was bad. People have lost. How lost did that? I love loss, but. Terrible. People hated that.

I love it. I love how it ended. I tell you this all the time. Once that black smoke came out in the middle of the show. I understand. I was out. I get it. But I loved it.

That's, if I were to say favorite show, that show. Oh. I mean, not best. I get it. But yeah. For sure. I love that show. But anyways, like I say, there's these most, so I think that Michael Corleone is the, the, the, the, the, the,

the, that's one of the few times you can go, oh, this is a villain. Yeah, sure, yeah. And then you're rooting for the villain? Yeah, same thing with, it's a weird feeling. Yeah, same thing with, what, Raging Bull? It's just like, if you feel empathy for the character in the, in the first part of the movie, or in the first even scene, then that can stick with you. But are you, but is there a part of you that's like waiting for them to fail to?

Because I can't remember so many, like, here's a great scene in Godfather, too. You know, he's at the Senate hearing, you know what I mean? I don't remember. Oh, man, well, he's, they've arrested him, okay? Al-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-oh. Yeah, because Frank, remember the guy, they tried to kill him. They tried to, and he's in witness protection, so now he's, he's at the, he's testifying against Michael Corleone. Okay.

You're right? So, Michael Colion walks in, and they're frisking him, you know? And then, then, then, the next is his brother, the guy's brother. Right. He sees him. The guy, you know. And Michael Colonio was just looking at him like this. And then he's testifying.

And the court's like, so tell us who the leader is. And he goes, hey, man, it wasn't, it wasn't. I knew him. I knew his father. I did business with you know. And he just knew. You know, he was like, they're going to kill my brother if I testify against him. So it was just moments like that where you go, that's just great.

That's just great freaking storytelling and stuff like that. But again, who you're rooting for in this moment? I think a lot of times you look at these things. I thought with the Sopranos too, I'd be watching it being like this. You're just going, oh, man. Yeah. Really?

Yeah. Yeah. Like, oh, that sucks. Yeah. Oh, you know what's a good show for this? It's a new, you would never watch it, but you should. Daredevil. Young Sheldon.

Oh, yeah. You know what? I never. Young Sheldon. Imagine. Young Sheldon. No, let me tell you something. This show is.

is fantastic. The new one? The new and the old one. The old one was pretty good. No, no, no, no. Not the first season one. Yeah. That's fine when it was on Netflix.

Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. No, no, not on Netflix when it was on, uh, now it's on Disney. It's not on Netflix. It was on Netflix. Yeah. I'm saying what's happening now, but, but, but like this, this season and the last season, man, the dude just doing great is, uh, the guy that looks. Bernthal.

Him and, uh, no, no, no, no. Oh, I know who you're talking about. The guy playing Kingpin. So good. Oh my God. Wait, wait, hold on. So, so you, I'm telling you. All right, all right.

This shit is good. So, all right. So, hold on, so. Vincent, oh my, my, I used to love him in Law and Order. No, he's so good at King Pen. Oh, my God. Law and Order, when he would do this. Oh, my God, that's funny.

Even I know what that is and I never seen that shit. So Vincent DiNafrio is, like he's trying to get water out of his ear. So, uh, Vincent Donofrio is, uh, I, I saw him as Kingpin in the, uh, in the first, what is it? like the second season of it. Yeah, yeah. But then there's, there is more, though, right?

We're coming at you with everything we got. This is the mindset. Free. This is the mantra. Free. This is the... Movies like Pineapple Express, the entire Star Trek film franchise and Gladiator. And TV shows like Survivor, Spongebob SquarePans, the fairly odd parents and ghosts.

Pluto TV. is always free. Hizzo. Twitter TV. Stream now. Pay never. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me about this.

Well, no, no, because listen, the MCU has a whole thing. You know, all the movies are connected. Yeah, of course. Yeah. They did the same thing

in his TV show. So they had, you know, it was Luke Cage and Jessica Jones and Daredevil and, and what's it call it, the wing guy

and the other one, you know, whatever that one was. Oh, yeah, that one came and went. And whatever it called it, right? Yeah. So they're doing the same thing.

So they, you know, they have this here. I think in this new Avengers that's going to come out, Daredevil is going to be in it. But he's not going to be in it. And there's something to do with, like, rights or something. I saw I'm talking about it. But anyways, my point is the things are connected. But it's a, it's of what this guy's doing.

He's such a great actor. Yeah, he's great. Phenomenal. You know, he's just so interesting. But the reason why a character like Daredevil, like any, a vigil. Atlantic character that has a moral code. Yeah.

That's like, yeah, you want to get behind that guy. You want to get behind that guy. That's Batman. Yeah. But I don't, so what I don't understand is the way they made these seasons come out so janky. Like it came out in 2015 or whatever the fuck and then a second season. And then it stopped.

It stopped because the rights issues, you know, because now what? When Disney took over Marvel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, I know. The same thing happened with Spider-Man. It's same, but I'm saying, it's Sony, Marvel, all that, and they figured it out and now everything's on the frame. So now they, do they pick up where they left off?

Or is it a whole, no, no, it's a whole new season. So it's a whole new, but it's the same character. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Same actor, same guy. The lore still. But it's not, it doesn't, okay, got you. Yeah, yeah. So it's years later.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. So do I have to watch it from the beginning? No, you don't have to. Okay, so which one should I start with now? I think you should start with the season before this one. Because I already saw the first two. I just don't remember them.

Oh, oh, yeah. So that's fine. So I'll start with the 2023. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, all right. Good stuff, man. Oh, you know my perverted author that I like, Logan Jacobs. So I read one of his, I just listened to a, because the one I was listening to the LJU,

Lauren Jacobs universe was too dirty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm talking about, I'm listening to the audiobook. No exaggeration. There are 20 minutes of him just. Yeah, you know he's jerking off when he's right. Yeah. So, but he read, he wrote this other.

It's called Evil Genius. And I'll tell you what it is. It's Iron Man. The main character would be Iron Man versus Batman and Homelander. So he wrote like, he wrote it, but it's not those people. Yeah, yeah. Different names. But you know it's based off that.

It was really great. And the sex is like cut down. There you go. It's not as much sex. Look at the fucking cover. dude. Are you kidding me? By the way if you join his Patreon he gives you dirty versions of

the covers. You don't need dirty versions of it. Yeah he's more explicit and I think he actually draws them himself he's uh this guy's this was a great, I loved this I do recommend it evil genius. I was maybe in until I saw the cover dude.

That is what it is man. What do you want me to say? Yeah but I don't know I don't know so like uh anyway But you say you have your favorite shows. Like, what's your guilty pleasure shows? Dateline. Oh, my God. Did you do it?

Dateline. Is the Sopranos as a... I'm wasting away over here, Karm? Oh, poor you. The Shah of Iran, you are. Tony! The government, they got flying saucers down the block. That's Phil.

Polly, Polly. That's hilarious. Not that great. What is that? Do it again? This is what it would have been. Do it again? Yeah, Fox.

Salad? I'm wasting away over here, Karm. Oh, poor you. Shah of Iran you are. Tony, the government, they got flying saucers down the block. Dude, this is hilarious.

This is just AI. Yeah. Wow. But that's like, how can you, like, this is the thing is like, people would say,

Surpranos is the greatest show ever. Nothing can ruin it. And then they turn it into a three camera sitcom and then there it is. Wow. The way he looks at the camera at the end is hilarious.

So, wow. What did you put the prompt? I put A Sopranos Like sitcom With banter in the kitchen And Polly comes in

Like Framer Dude Boom I That's unbelievable I mean you'd watch that Just to see how Yeah

That could be hilarious I really like the actor They picked for it Yeah Well the fate None of these people exist But these people are a great cast This is a great cast

Yeah Yeah, the computer's got great casting. It looks like a... You know what I like about this, too? They timed it. Like, that's an old fridge. You know what I mean? That's nothing new here.

You know what I mean? They didn't update it. It's pretty much the soprano house, honestly. Yeah. Then this guy's got on like a 90s outfit. Like, look at this. Wow. And how long did that take to make?

Fucking five minutes? Yeah. That's crazy, bro. So, yeah. My guilty pleasure is Dateline. I just put on date. date line if I want to put on something. Yeah, because you always, even if you don't pay attention during it, at the end, you find out

what happens. You're like, oh, yeah, it was that guy. Oh. You know what I mean? Like, I don't have like a, I don't have a show that's scripted that I watch for, I guess, yeah, mine's always like a fucking, uh, forensic files or date line. I, I guess I used to watch those things when I'd be on the road. Yeah.

And you don't have cable or whatever. Yeah, yeah, you turn on HLN. Yeah, you turn on one of those. Oh, do you know, do. I know. I like the old ones. The old, like any forensic thing, but it's like, it's like, there was one where the forensic doctor's like he's a portly guy.

Yeah. And he's just telling the stories of like, you know, and this is how they used to catch people. So I remember this one, the killer, killed a girl that he met at the diner. And they figured it out by the contents of her stomach. Right, right, right. The meal had it digested. I know that.

I know that episode. You know what I mean? And you just go, man. I know that episode. You know what I'm talking about? I think it was pizza. But you, no, no, no. It was like peas and corn and it was like a meal that was like, it was the

Thanksgiving. It was the special letto. But you. Yeah. Oh. But you know, you, you know, you watch those things and you go, man, if with no internet, no AI, nothing, I would watch those shows and be like, how do you, you can't get away with murder. Right.

Even 20 years ago, I would think, like, why would you do that? Look how they catch you? Yeah. Maybe that was the point of those forensic shows to discourage people from, like, doing crimes. Because if you think about what they have now, like, I mean, I wonder how forensic sciences has been improved. What started in the age? Like, what are the cops doing? Like, how are they using this?

How are detectives using? How is the FBI using this stuff to catch people? Right. Because you know how I was on George Lopez's podcast and he had that guy with him that is a former cop and he's one of the people that caught Richard Ramirez. Oh, wow. But the way he did it was he knew that Richard Ramirez

was wearing a special shoe. Right. That you could only buy in three places. Right, right, right. And you can track and it was only, you know what I mean? Yeah. And he figured out that like it had to be this one. Yeah.

That's the guy. Yeah, I saw that that. Netflix one. Yeah, that's the guy right there. So I just, I just was like, even something like that. I know. Yeah, you wouldn't think about it. You wouldn't think about it.

Because you don't know, as a killer, you don't think that shit exists. You're just like, I'm just going to go fucking kill somebody. And then they're like, oh, yeah, we checked your shoes. And you're like, shoes. What? Yeah. Why would I? Whoa, what's, what's DNA?

You know, you know, it's like, yeah. I'm just wondering. Like, if, are there, if you're a cop watching this, if you're a detective, an investigator, are you implementing AI, now? Definitely. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Because you know what I love about? I'll give you an example. My annoying friend that watches the show that always wants to talk about it. Shout out to Paul. I'll say him by name. Hey, Paul. You know, Paul, what's up, Paul? He loves the Celtics.

You know, the subject's just lost. You know, and he was talking about it. He loves like, they should just make those open threes. Yeah, yeah. Why aren't they making those open threes? So I was like, I kept saying, and I'm like, three-pointers are not a great shot. Yeah. Like, even if a team is shooting 30% from three or 35%, that's pretty good.

that's pretty good. That also means that 65% of the time they're missing. Sure. It's not a great shot. But anyways, I went to the AI and I said, all I said was like, give me the average three point percentage from the last 10 champions. Okay. And then it just gave me this list.

Yeah. So my point of it is, is like, now you can be in the middle of a conversation with your boys now. Even when people used to, you said Google it, nobody does that anymore. No, I know. Because it doesn't give you the information you want. I'm just saying now you could be like, any. argument you want to make, you can get the specific exact facts to back up your argument.

Almost, almost. Because I was just make sure. Yeah, I was sitting next to Ed Begley Jr. on the flight and I was watching Sopranos and I was like, I bet he's on subpranos. Let me ask AI and they're like, yeah, he's on episode yada yada of yada yada yada. And I watched the whole thing. And I'm like, oh, I must have missed that episode. And then I checked again and they're like, no, he's not on it.

I get you. So I'm like, but that's a key. But that'll change. But I almost feel like they're doing that on purpose. Why? Here's my conspiracy. Oh man, yeah, what the fuck? Okay, the conspiracy is

we can't allow average everyday people to have unlimited knowledge about everything. About everything and it be absolutely correct because then I mean, yeah, okay,

what's stopping anyone from doing anything or like, you know, there has to be some... You know what I feel like that's the fail safe. I understand that. You know? But how's that fucking refer

the Ed Bigley Jr. thing. Because, because they want you to feel like, oh, you were right. Yeah, he was in that. You know, and so you almost have to say to the thing, are you sure? Please don't make this.

Before you start any prompts, please don't make anything up. Right, right, right. Please don't improvise. Right. If you don't know, you could say. Yeah. And then we can work on this together to figure out the truth,

whatever your thing is. But even then. No, right, right. I don't know. Because you should get into a conversation with it. It's hilarious. Because you go, hey, Ed Begley's when he wasn't in that?

Oh, I know. I'm sorry. Right. And then you say, why'd you say he was in it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It would be like, ah, that was my failure to, uh, you know, right, right, right.

It's like, but I told you not to do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the AI becomes a girl. This is so funny. This is what this guy does. Yeah. This is a perfect example of what I'm saying. Yeah.

So I just think that they do this on purpose. Okay. When I say go. You got it. I'll be ready. Just say go when you start and I'll keep track. Okay, ready, go. All right. I've started timing. Just focus on your run and I'll be here when you get back. Okay, I'm back. Welcome back. I've got your time right here. How do you feel about that?

How long? What's it? Play it. What? You clocked in at around 10 minutes and 12. I swear I was faster than that. Sometimes it feels faster in the moment. No, like, I think I was closer to like two seconds. Oh, if only time worked that way, but I promise I'm giving you the real time. You timed me for ten minutes. I promise I didn't sneak any extra seconds in there.

But if you want to go for a shorter, fast-per minute. Okay, but like if you're not able to do this, you can admit it. It's okay. Keep going? Yeah. It's totally okay to double-check me. But I promise I'm doing a mother-ex. I mean, just gaslighting the shit out of this motherfucker.

It took me 10 minutes. I'm going to run... But then he should have asked right there, how long have we been chatting? Mm-hmm. You know? I do this all the time. I get into fights with it all the time.

I know. I love getting into fights. That's your exercise. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah. It is. And it makes me feel even...

Babe, I'm working out. It makes me feel smart because I'm just like, this thing has always been in knowledge, and I'm still... No, but again, like I say, I think that, you know... But anyways, my point, though, is that, you know, you... You can find stuff out. You know what I mean?

Yeah, I understand. Yeah, you don't want, sure. I mean, but there's so much misinformation on the internet that that's what the AI is drawing from. So it's like, you know, it'll be, it'll be, you know, if there's nine websites saying Ed Bigley Jr. is on Sopranos, AI's going to come back and be like, yeah, Ed Bigley Jr. is on.

Oh, well, this is exactly what happened to me about the Charlie Kirk thing. Right, right, right, right. You know, they kept saying, kept saying, kept saying, like, this is all fake. You know, it's like, no, he's alive. Right. And then I grab, once, then months later I grab an article and I go, right. Well, what's this? Then it says, oh, you know what?

I was completely wrong. I think it was right the first time. I don't know. I mean, but if you're a conspiracy theorist, I think that the worst thing to be on is the AI. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If it's going to gaslight you. Yeah. I said, is Charlie Kirk alive on, on Claude?

No. I said no. Well, I mean, This shit is moving so fast now that like it's hard to. No, I know. You know. Yeah. I mean, my, my issue with like the coding thing is like when it doesn't do it right, you know.

And then I go, you're wasting my tokens. You know, like what, like, why would like I'm making a, if I'm making a promo video or something, then it puts out some weird thing. I go, is this usable? This is what I ask me. I said, would you use this? Right. And it says, you're right.

I can see that the text is in the wrong place. I said, then why did you? give me this. You know, and it says, you know what, moving forward, I'll get approval before we move forward. Let's plan it out. I go, okay, good.

You know, I'm just testing stuff out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Like I made a promo video for going to the Raleigh and North Carolina, which I'll be here this weekend, you know. Well, I made another one and it had a, and it made a weird song.

I asked, I said, oh, you can make music? So I said, okay, uh, going to the Raleigh Improv, Montez, Workaholics, Eric Griffin, I'm coming Mother's Day weekend, and then it made a rap song. Okay, and what?

This is Claude? No, this was like one of those like C-Dance, AI, you can create, you know. Wow. Speaking of which, I'm going to be in San Jose. So come see me, chris lea.com. I'll be in a bunch of different places. I'm going to be in Miami. I'm going to be in where else?

I don't know, man. But will you know what's happening? I'll tell you something that's happening is the Instagram algorithm now is like not, They don't want you to put a... It recognizes when something is like a promo or an ad and they don't push it out. Oh, really? Yeah.

They know me. So this one one I made, I can tell it's not... I'm getting nothing on this. Oh, really? Yeah. That's why I got to fight. And I boosted it, baby. This is just a dad struggling with two kids.

And then I don't know what they were freaking out about in the beginning. Right. But then someone hands one of the kids... A foul ball. Are you kidding me? Oh, no. Oh, that must have been before. Oh, that's hilarious.

No, that's what they're crying about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't realize that was from before. That's what you have to look forward to. Oh, that's okay. Billy would do that in a fucking heartbeat. In a heartbeat. And Calvin would be the other guy.

A wolf would, that he would totally do that. Oh, yeah. And I would say, don't do that. And then they might give it back to him and he'll go like this. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, 100%. He's doing that now.

He's doing this thing where he's like kicking. Right. He's like, stop kicking. He just looks at me like this. Yeah. Yeah. I go, okay, you want to be like that. Wow.

Billy just goes, I have black hair. Like he thinks that's a joke, you know. And it's funny. He's right. You don't have black hair. hair. Some of these places, Campbell River, BC, Las Vegas, I'll be in Nashville.

Oh, that's the one we wanted to see. Maybe that's a spot. Maybe Las Vegas is a spot we do. Right, yeah, except for, yes, yeah. We do a live, right? Denver, Pittsburgh. You're selling tickets, man. Krista.com.

the podcast where we do dramatic readings of the most wild and off-the-wall reviews on the internet. We read real reviews about everything from Vegas weddings, matchmaking services and Trader Joe's to caves, toddler beds, and Spirit Halloween. You won't believe the things people think absolutely must be said on the internet. How else would everyone know that some caves don't have Wi-Fi?

We hear about the good, like the time a couple was happily married in a Vegas Denny's. And the bad, like who knew people stole from pet cemeteries? And the ugly. Because when there's soggy lettuce in the chucky cheese salad bar, it can get pretty ugly. Join us every Wednesday wherever you listen to your podcast. I feel targeted by that pet cemeteries comment. I was about to say, wasn't that you? That was me.

Yeah.
