The Kristian Harloff Show - Final 10 HOUR Live Stream For Trending Kick Starter!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys, my name's Christian Harloff, and I'm going to be running a Kickstarter for a 30-minute comedy called Trending. I played Danny Lyons. He's a comedian, ex-podcaster, and he has to do a show with his ex-wife who's played by... What are you doing? Selling the show. That's not selling anything. Okay. Hey, everybody. I'm Christian Harloff. Hey, everybody.

Starting point is 00:00:24 I'm doing great. We're putting together a Kickstarter for 30 million. You do it less serious until... We're doing it. We're going to make a show. My name is Christian Harlow. This is Martini Perritory. We're doing a show called Trending.

Starting point is 00:00:39 And you want to tell them what it's about? You forget what the story is. You wrote it. Can you please tell the good people what this is about? It's about two exes that hate each other who have to host a podcast. And they have to survive each other through the craziness and their careers are in the dumps. And they're surviving midlife and reinventing themselves and they have a whole ensemble. Humble around them.

Starting point is 00:01:00 What about the team? We have a really great team, and her and I are very proud of the team that we have. Tell them about it. OK. We have Andrew Free, who is an Emmy Award-winning producer director, and Wendy O'Brien, who is a fabulous casting director. We may have known her from.

Starting point is 00:01:14 It's Always Sunny Philadelphia. Abad Elementary. Tulsa King. Lots of great stuff. But why are we doing a Kickstarter? Tell me. Because we think that you guys are going to get what we're trying to do. We're going to give you from the grassroots

Starting point is 00:01:26 to figure out how do we make this show. However, we hope to raise more. Hello. Oh, yes, yes, 500. We got a taker, $500? Oh, what? Your grandmother wants to donate Panzalas? Great.

Starting point is 00:01:40 Hello? Hello? You got a call. What do you do? Tell them. What are you going to go? What are you going to go? We're going to give you the process from start to finish.

How can you deny these things? Make it happen and watch this. Come to life. It's trending. Kick it. I'm starting. I'm raising the money. You're raising the money? You just lost this money. Five.

Starting point is 00:02:38 Oh, my God. You can't even go all the way low. What's up, everybody? Look, who it is. He's not coming in there. You've got a beer soon. It's contrary to what the title said. I had to change that this morning.

Starting point is 00:03:04 It said a 48-hour live stream. No, thank you. No thank you on that. I love Luke, but not doing it, buddy. Not doing a final 48-hour live stream. going to do a final 48 hours until the campaign's over. And then this last 10-hour live stream to get us to that boardwalk pictures goal. And I believe that we can do it here today.

Starting point is 00:03:26 We're doing a full-on. If you guys have joined us, maybe for the first time, we started this whole campaign for trending on a 10-hour live stream, which we did very well on that live stream. You guys supported in ways that I still have not fully comprehended and really appreciate. and we had a bunch of special guests. We're going to have a bunch of special guests here today. And I'm really pumped for it. We're going to have a lot of returning guests from the first stream.

Starting point is 00:03:52 And then we're going to have some new guests. We're going to have some new announcements and other things and conversations. And the way that we started out the first hour of the live stream was the guy who helped kind of put this all together. And he is our Kickstarter campaign manager, Mr. Craig Goldberg. Craig what that's not a Craig gilberg that's great much better looking Craig Goldberg there he is Craig we are this is the final stretch man as you said this is we're we're getting closer and closer to the end of a pretty pretty nutty campaign yeah it's um it's it's well hi everybody um welcome to what is sure to be an incredible day

Starting point is 00:04:37 i'm so excited you got some great people coming in it's been a really fun 30 days like it's one of those weird things where it's like and this sounds really cliche and like not interesting but i'm going to say it anyway uh it feels like this has been going on for a year but also i can't believe it's been uh 30 days already so i know well yeah time is weird like that but how are you feeling man uh definitely excited overwhelmed uh overwhelmed uh you know uh blown away and um just ready to start doing all the stuff that that we had promised everybody, and that's from the production of the show

Starting point is 00:05:17 to the 16-person tournament that we're now doing. We had so many cool, and you said this was what happened too, right? That we had so many kind of cool things happen within the 30 days that we didn't even expect to happen, right? And a lot of like major, major news type of things. And one of those things that we were pumped about is we were trying to figure out in general,

Starting point is 00:05:37 whereas for people who were wondering, like right now, I'm gonna bring this up, so we'll do this throughout the stream, obviously. But currently, right now, there you are, we stand at 247, 563 as we try to land to the, I mean, the goal of 340 is it's, it's, we're pushing towards it. That's the boardwalk pictures. That's the holy crap. We did exactly what we kind of aim to do. But the major goal here today is let's try to get to that 300 area, right? Let's try to get there so we can, what that potentially could do in general is cast, right? More cast. We, locations, director of photography. It gives

Starting point is 00:06:18 boardwalk a lot more resources. It gives Wendy O'Brien a lot more resources. It gives everybody a little bit more resources to do things. And then the outside of the stuff that we will be talking about with the merchandise that we put out there, right? The, um, the shirts, the sneakers, the, lots of, lots of those but the one thing that i was curious about and saying to myself okay look one of the things that's going to really happen here is that we need to um get to a place where we're going to be able to find a location for the schmode out because that's going to be a big cost right well we were kind of blessed here what happened is one of our executive producers well we're we're waiting but we're we're pretty confident an executive producer who's coming in both derrick mcmann who's um

Starting point is 00:07:06 part investor in the rendezvous club, a restaurant in Burbank. And someone else will think I'm going to be announcing pretty soon here. Those two gentlemen, we're going to be able to shoot that 15-day tournament, 15-day tournament, 15-person tournament at rendezvous. And there will be, you know, the restaurant will be open. We'll be selling tickets to make sure people they want to see it. But the other thing is once we hit that 250 today, which is going to be exciting, once we hit 250, we are going to open up 10 exclusive tickets to that shoot at Ronderville.

Starting point is 00:07:47 Yeah, that's really cool. I mean, that's a really great experience. And it's cool, too, because, like, I'm kind of interested in your perspective, right? Because in a lot of ways, it feels like many pieces and parts of this campaign have been, like, the culmination of what your career has been, right? There's a lot of familiar faces involved, not just supporting, but like people actually like,

Starting point is 00:08:14 you know, like obviously the relationship with, with Andrew Fried and boardwalk and trainee and then how that leads to, you know, different eyeballs on it. And then obviously the big casting this week with Kevin Pollock,

Starting point is 00:08:25 which is incredible. He's like, he's the best. Yeah, living legend. I watched a few good men this week to sell. Did you the, That's great.

Starting point is 00:08:35 We'll get into, we'll get into Kevin Pop. We'll get into it. But for, for you, it's been, it's really cool to see someone who is, I'm going to praise you for a second. You didn't pay me to do this. You didn't ask for this, but I'm going to do it anyway. All right. Your work ethic and your hustle is unmatched.

Starting point is 00:08:55 Thank you. So, you know, when you're doing your 40-day challenge or if anybody is interested, in this kind of line of work or career of content creation or whatever like the the X factor or one of the X factors is this community and building out this community and the work that you've the grind and it is a grind I mean you're doing you're streaming every single day you've got all of these amazing people in the community contributing and it's just been like a really special thing to kind of to kind of see so I'm just I'm proud to be part of it and I'm excited for you I'm excited for the whole team, and I'm really happy that this is turned out the way it is.

Starting point is 00:09:37 Yeah, we're glad to have you on what you've been able to do so far, and we've been kind of going back and forth on all the different things that we can do here today to get us to those goals. And I echoed the sentiment with the work ethic because, you know, I have to be as good as the people around me, right? And for what you've done and been able to, I knew that, okay, if I have an idea for the Kickstarter, or I have something, It's either, yeah, we should try to do that or I'll tell you why it does.

Starting point is 00:10:05 I don't think that necessarily works. And we've had that kind of relationship. And I think that it's been beneficial. And then some. So my question is, you know, you've been talking directly to Kickstarter. It looks like they're pretty happy with what we did too, right? Because look, I get down to myself sometimes too, right? I'm not.

Starting point is 00:10:21 And I'm maybe that's a, maybe it's a good thing and a bad thing where it comes to, okay, look, I want to hit this 350. I want to get this thing in my head. And people, my friend Ari Shafir told me to not do this a long. time ago and I and I did um where I go okay someone so was able to accomplish that and I can put this in perspective and try maybe that I can accomplish that too and he was always like well don't do that just do what you do don't worry about what other people did and in and I for the majority of my after that conversation I've been able to try to do that but then for what the guild did and

Starting point is 00:10:54 using and I know that the guild is the guild and I understand that but when we started out as big as we did I'm like okay you know sky's limit maybe we will be able to do the first uh season. And then I'm like, okay, well now we're 240 in my head. I'm going, you did, what you should be saying at that point is, you just did something because in terms of

Starting point is 00:11:14 Kickstarter, what we've done on a descriptive pilot for an independent is pretty unmatched, right? I mean, it's, it's unprecedented. I mean, it really, like, you, you, I mean, it's a great perspective to have. That's great advice, because there's always going to be

Starting point is 00:11:32 somebody look up towards and say, well, they did this. And that's a really, that's like this weird thing human beings do. Yeah. Um, it's so much harder, but it's so much more rewarding to say, man, look what I did. Look at in like, and not worry about anything else. Like, um, if you look at at Kickstarter and you look at, uh, film and TV projects, this is, this is in the top probably 0.5% of, of these projects. And for a non-existing IP, you know, other ones that have, that have happened,

Starting point is 00:12:08 uh, that have been successful like the guild or mystery science theater and, and, and other things like that. Or, um, you know, even film projects like Veronica Mars and, and, you know, those have very, uh, established, uh, fan bases and, and like kind of like long term investment in, in, uh, those fandoms and stuff.

Starting point is 00:12:27 Uh, this is, for all intents of purposes, this is new. This is basically you. Yeah, no one knows. No one knows what the hell this is yet. Right, right. So it's a testament to the community. The investment is really in you and your channel. And then what's going to happen is the show gets made.

Starting point is 00:12:44 There's going to be more eyeballs on it. Right. And then it grows kind of organically from there. And who knows if let's say best case scenario, you do this, gets picked up. You do three seasons of it. you have a great run five seasons whatever and it kicks off your incredible acting career and then you've got emmys and Oscars and everything else and then in 10 years you're like you know what we want to do a trending uh legacy sequel we're going back to Kickstarter and now we're going to raise

Starting point is 00:13:15 10 million like right because people people are familiar with it right exactly so it's it's really cool it's no i i understand and i've been and something i work on with myself as well too because what the the audience has really been um so incredibly wonderful and supportive and where we are right now couldn't have I mean I couldn't have imagined it in the in in how we did this already and as I just mentioned um where we stand right now we are at 247 635 just went up there again and once we get to 250 those tickets for schmodev at rendezvous will be open but the other thing that Craig and I were talking about last night. Someone mentioned this the other day, and I'm telling

Starting point is 00:13:58 hopefully that person is watching, because if not, they're going to be, they'll probably be upset because I think they're going to go pretty fast. But, are they all the way down here? They are. Okay. So there's one extra pair, because these sold out really fast. The Shmodeon sneakers,

Starting point is 00:14:14 those went really fast. So we put one extra pair up, and then are they on the, all the on the bottom? Yeah, the other pairs should be on there in the add-on section, but we did add there's one pair of the glows left

Starting point is 00:14:30 and then there's we added one pair of the trending sneakers and one pair of the shmowedown sneakers. And the aliens and there's one more DTE sneaker left too. So here we go. So here's the shirts. And we have the, yeah, those sneakers are on there. We don't have the, so there are one pair of the trending.

Starting point is 00:14:47 I don't know where they are there, but they're in there. So if you go to the add-ons, if you want one pair of those trending sneakers, they are there. if you want one pair of the Shmowdown sneakers, they are there. And if you want one pair of those DTE sneakers, they are there. So there's only that,

Starting point is 00:15:04 but they'll be gone soon. Those, those, those are like the hot cakes of what we've done on this campaign so far. You know? I mean, that's the thing. It's like, you know,

Starting point is 00:15:15 yeah, and I see the people are really kind of getting invested on this last day, which is expected, right? Like, it's a very front-loaded campaign, which is very common for campaigns like this because you are essentially leaning in on your audience. They showed up in such a huge way.

Starting point is 00:15:35 And then it's kind of, you know, that kind of 30-day stay in the course. The amount of promotion that you've done, but like not in a, it's really, you got to strike a balance with these campaigns because you don't want it to always feel like a telethon. You don't want to feel like you're desperate or begging. But you do want to make as many people as possible aware of what's going on. And I think you've done a really great job with that. I'm interested too. So this is the, you know, I've been involved with a couple different kickstaters. I've done my own.

Starting point is 00:16:03 I found it, it's very rewarding, but it's also very exhausting. And it's a little mentally taxing. Do you feel that? Oh, you mentally taxing? Oh, yeah. I mean, shit, man. I mean, even like the, you know, the, I think it was the first live stream, right after I did the live stream for 10 hours, I jumped and did a reaction right

Starting point is 00:16:25 afterwards. Okay. That probably wasn't the best idea because I was already in, I was ready in la-la land at that point. Sure. Sure. Yeah, yeah. And then for the next four days, it was just it took it out of me. So, uh, leading up to it and, and like I said, it just, you get to a place where you're like, oh, uh, when you, especially when you do it for the first time, like, oh, I could have done that differently. I probably would have ordered that differently. I probably would have done that tiered that way. I would have done this. But it's like, it's all hindsight shit. Right. Right. Right. And how much of it actually moves the needle one way or the other?

Starting point is 00:17:00 Like I think a lot of the time when you're running a campaign like this, especially if you've never done it, my perspective going into earlier ones I did was like, what is this like, what is the smoking gun that's just going to take this to another level? And then you kind of realize like it's a lot of little things that make it work. Right. It's not just one kind of thing.

Starting point is 00:17:20 So, but no, it's been really fun. It's been super, you know, it's inspirational to me. me because I just, I like being part of cool things that people are excited. I mean, you know, I talk about it all the time. Like I'm, uh, my, my, my, my, my life partner tells me I'm an annoyingly optimistic person. Uh, I like that, though, but I mean, sometimes you got to be, uh, but also you

Starting point is 00:17:42 got to be kind of realistic and yeah, um, I think this campaign is, is, is really, I think it's going to set the mold. I mean, I've had people reach out already through our contacts and say, like, hey, I'm thinking about doing a pilot. Like, what advice do you have? And it's like, you know, that's kind of cool because not to be lame, but you could be a trend setter. Yeah. And maybe there's different ways to do this.

Starting point is 00:18:07 So I hope so. I mean, I think that people, I mean, I've gotten similar message where people have been working on their scripts and doing other things. And I think that that's, and a little bit from now, as we will kind of go over our special guest list today, one of the people that were going to be talking to that. I did a pre-tape with yesterday. was Wendy O'Brien, our casting director. And just to hear, and this is someone who's been in the business for so long

Starting point is 00:18:31 and has had great success inside of this business. And talking about the exciting thing for her on this campaign was the idea of, like, being able to go outside of the studio system and people kind of taking their own, their future into their, and their destiny into their own hands. And that's why she got involved, is why Andrew got involved. And ultimately, in the fact that this happened, and this was one of the things, that as I talked about before, that was exciting. We talked about rendezvous already, but then when that came about, that was great, but then this.

Starting point is 00:19:02 Yeah. When it's one thing like when I heard, and Andrew will talk about this more when he's on later, but when I heard that Andrew was sending it, you know, because, and I, again, waiting for Andrew to be here to tell the full story and how that all went down. But when I heard that he was getting it, the first thing is, okay, that's a win that Kevin Pollock is reading your script. Right. Like, that's the first win, right?

Starting point is 00:19:29 The, the second win is that he enjoyed it, right? And I'm like, okay, that's great. Even if he was like, well, I really liked it, but I don't know, you know, this is for me, but I, but I liked it. And I thought this isn't, that would have been a win. The third one was that he wanted to be in it, um, in general, right? And we had thought maybe, you know, he'd come in, he'd do the role events and nail it as you would.

Starting point is 00:19:54 And then the major win was that he said, no, I like to play Ron, which is a major part in the show. Right. So when that happened, I was like, oh, so that's when you go, all right,

Starting point is 00:20:06 well, at the very least, we're going to be able to shoot this script that everybody who's involved seems to really enjoy, and we're going to have a comedy legend, an acting legend in Kevin Polly playing one of these roles. So to me, I got to look at that and go, that's an absolute win.

Starting point is 00:20:24 I mean, he's one of the greats like like i mean you you would it would be a whole other stream just naming his great roles or uh you know movies he's done uh or projects that he's involved with um i think one thing that's cool is like you know i can already envision what his role is going to kind of like look like because i think the templates out there like i think of um oh gosh Oliver Platt in the bear in the bear who's like kind of my favorite character somehow on the show you know like he and you kind of need a little bit of that that veteran elder statesman to kind of like ground things a little bit and kind of bring you into reality and also it's cool because Kevin

Starting point is 00:21:11 Pollock's like he's he's out there in the world of you know podcasting and and he's been kind of kind of involved in that for a long time so it's just like and you're see him he's always doing these these great you know interview uh radio appearances and and he's just he's one of those guys yeah and uh but he's also he's just an incredibly talented actor so his stories are legendary right right um and wainsworld too that's all i can say this just the best so i think um i think that just takes it to another level like even without that like uh this campaign would you know we're still in this incredible spot but it just adds like this a little bit of gravity to it almost.

Starting point is 00:21:56 And that's kind of how these things work, right? It's just another puzzle piece that who knows where that leads to? I mean, that can open different doors. Once the pilot's released, somebody gets eyes on it that hadn't seen it previously. And, you know, it's so hard to get people's attention in 2026. People will tell you that it's all about, you know, you got to get rid of long form content. You got to get rid of short form content.

Starting point is 00:22:25 And the truth is, it's just there's a lot to consume out there. And you, like, I'll keep saying it, but the puzzle pieces are kind of falling into place with this team with Wendy O'Brien, with Kevin Pollock, with Andrew Free, with Martini. And it's just, it's just really, this will be a highlight of my career, whatever my career is, if somebody's like, what do you do for a living? I'm like, I really don't know. But whatever this is that I do, this is a high. for me. So I appreciate that. I'm excited, man. Yeah, I appreciate that. Someone asked if I've done a one-on-one with Kevin Pollock. No, I haven't, actually. I would love to. That'd be amazing. You know, we just did the Brad Bird. One I'd love to do a sit-down. That would be amazing to be able to do, you know, maybe just even go to L.A. and go sit down with him and do a one-on-one, which would be great way for us to kind of get to know each other, too, which would be awesome. I would love to do that. Yeah. I would love to do that. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:23:23 I'm sure you will. Yeah. Jumping back into the Kickstarter, by the way, as we are reaching, trying to get to that, at least right now, I guess the first goal is to $2.50. That's the first goal because that's going to do some stuff for some peeps. As I mentioned, our executive producer, Derek McMahon, who is going to be bringing on another producer. I was going to talk about that in a second.

Starting point is 00:23:47 But I also want to give big props to Ryan S. Ryan Stegner, who is another one of our executive producers, who absolutely took us and pushed us to where we are right now. It came on as an executive producer to where we are getting closer and closer to that 250. And as you see, the sneakers, those are available now. Character breakdowns because of Ryan S's contribution pushed us over that 220, and we have all the character descriptions there. If you want to see all of them, if you're part of this now and you want to see,

Starting point is 00:24:19 okay well who can play rene who can play zara who can play david myel me now you can start to there have been seeing a lot of the suggestions in the in the in the in the discord which has been great so craig here the the stretch goals right we got uh the unlocked is the 16 person tournament for the schmodan which we know is is coming now and that's going to get us to our 250 in a second the 220 character breakdowns those are up 225 we unlocked that major casting announcement that was also ryan s the 225 here I see people where's that playlist? It's just been a busy two days, but one of the things I'm doing, I just looked up today

Starting point is 00:24:54 literally on, because my playlist is all on an Apple playlist and I want to turn it into a Spotify playlist for everybody. So I'm going to do that, convert that into a playlist and that should be up ASAP because that was unlocked. And then today... We have a Napster link for everybody.

Starting point is 00:25:10 Yeah, right. We should. Is that even a thing anymore? Did someone buy it up, buy it out? It's got to exist in some form. someone or another. So at 250 today, hopefully we can hit that. The live taping experience at rendezvous will open up for people. If you're a Shmodeown fan, you'll get the opportunity.

Starting point is 00:25:31 There'll be 10 exclusive tickets as add-ons that will be put up on the Kickstarter that Craig will do today that will allow you to get front row seats for the taping experience. It'll give you the behind-the-scenes experience. There'll be pictures with competitors, the meet and greets, and sign posters and all of that and more. So that is one we hit the 250 area. There are Schmodeown shirts that are up there right now. Did we ever get the hats up there? No, we never got to the hats.

Starting point is 00:26:06 And I think what I'm thinking is I was actually, well, we should talk about this offline. But I've got some ideas for the Schmodeown merchandise experience. so let's offline that. But one thing I do want to just going back to the 10 exclusive tickets that are going to get released. You know, when you do the live taping. So first of all, let me finally interview you. So how many days do you think the 16 person tournament, how many days will that taping be? anywhere between two to three days in my ideal world.

Starting point is 00:26:45 I mean, that's going to be me and Andrew conversation once we start planning it out. I think we can knock it out in two days, especially if we have a restaurant there that is basically going to have the, because, you know, the competitors will be sitting down at tables eating food. You may be sitting next to, you know,

Starting point is 00:27:04 Dan Merle and whoever it might be. They're eating dinner or eating lunch, whatever might be. So there is going to be restaurant drinks, all that stuff open for us. The restaurant will essentially be ours for two days, but we want to make sure that they're able to, they're not losing money. We're probably making money on those.

Starting point is 00:27:23 They will be making money on those two days, hence why they're going to do it in the first place. But we need to knock out 15 matches, right? Now, you could do eight matches in day one. You could do seven matches in day two. Now, if you're going to do, what, PLD? What are you worried about? You got to sit behind a laptop for two days.

Starting point is 00:27:41 I'm the one running around. It's making, making faces like it's the end of the world for him. He'd talk about. Shub a pasta in his face the whole time. Yeah, yeah. So I will, you know, three days is something that could be discussed as well. Right. But I think it's also easier for people if they're buying those tickets to say, okay, if I'm coming.

Starting point is 00:28:02 Like, let's say it's someone who doesn't live in, in Los Angeles. Right. And they go, you know, I'm in, I'm in. I'm in San Francisco. I'm in Arizona. And I don't know if I can make it for three days. We should also make it possible where you can buy one day tickets. It's only like WrestleMania.

Starting point is 00:28:17 Buy two day tickets. Right, right. I think the thing we should stress is like that is a closed, you know, set essentially. Right. And what you're kind of-of-bys, NDAs, too. What you're kind of buying is like an all-access pass to sit, to be there and experience it, in a way so like in a way that no one's going to be able to experience it right and you're going to see everything unfold you're going to be around everybody you're going to be eating with the cast and

Starting point is 00:28:47 crew and yeah if you're a fan of the schmodeown like that this is I would call this like the ultimate experience um because it's not going to be like a guided tour with a meet and greet and like a ringside photo uh it's going to be more like you're here like honestly let's face it you're probably gonna we're gonna put you to work alright you're gonna be carrying some boxes no I don't know about that no no I'm just kidding no you're not gonna work it's gonna be a really it's gonna be a fun

Starting point is 00:29:16 once in a lifetime kind of thing so you and people are gonna have um hold on me I want to make sure that this title is still is still says final 48 hour live stream and people are saying 40 I'm not a 48 hour fucking live stream hold on 10 hour that's possible no 10 hour live stream

Starting point is 00:29:35 for the end of the trending special. Yes. So people know. Well, it's a little good because we have 48 hours to go. Yeah, I know. I know the stream must be scheduled in the future. What the hell is that saying? Luke, can you please change the title is,

Starting point is 00:29:59 please, somebody. Somebody please. It was already changed, because you didn't see on stream yard, but on YouTube, it changed. I know I changed on YouTube. I wasn't sure if it was already done on YouTube. Oh, yeah, I just want to make sure if you go.

Starting point is 00:30:10 Okay. All right. So, yeah, that's, that to me is, it's going to be a really cool experience for especially Shmodown fans. And I hope that Ed has posted that in the movie Trivue Shmodown group as well and other people to know that if they, that once we hit that 250, those tickets are going to be available. So those hardcore fans that maybe aren't watching the stream, they should be watching it because those things, we remember how those things used to go.

Starting point is 00:30:36 And then the, the thing is, the thing. is there's going to be tables that a lot of tables are going to go to the competitors, right? And the competitors are also going to be eating and drinking and doing all that stuff too. So we got to make sure we have to see throughout those two or three days how many tickets will be open up to the public. So this guarantees you that you're going to be there. You'll be able to be there watching it. So where we are right now, let's just get the total 48 hours this thing out of the title altogether. I don't want 48 hours even in there anymore.

Starting point is 00:31:09 It's just a final 10-hour stream. Okay. So I'm looking at the rest and seeing 240. We're up to 247, 965. We're almost at 248, which is good. And then those sneakers are still available, I think, Craig, looks like it. So there's a pair of Smodown sneakers, there were a pair of Schmodeown sneakers, trending sneakers, and DTE sneakers.

Starting point is 00:31:31 But there's three pairs total left before those are gone. for good. Yeah. And then we'll just, you know, I think the messaging for today, there's a couple things that I think are really important for the community here. First of all, obviously, thank you for the support. Yes. Even if you have not been able to like put in a financial contribution, thanks for being here. Thanks for, you know, it all adds to the overall momentum of the campaign. If you've been on the fence, you know, Christian, one thing we talked about is like, this is about to, trending is about to be your, you're, life for the foreseeable future.

Starting point is 00:32:08 And by getting in now before the campaign ends, it kind of, it's going to allow people to participate in that and really be part of something unprecedented and special. And I know we've been talking about that for the last month. But that is that is kind of the sales pitch. Like we want you to be part of this. Yeah. We want people to get FOMO. Yes, we do.

Starting point is 00:32:33 That's amazing. Yeah, we do. And then the other thing is like, you know, little, little pieces build into bigger bridges. I just made that up. I'll copyright that. But there's got to be a better idiom. But what I'll say is, you know, every dollar matters. So if you're in for 25 and you want to bump it to 30, if you can do it, that stuff really helps in the long run.

Starting point is 00:32:59 So, but more than anything, man, it's just a really cool thing. And now, like, it's going to get into, like, the nitty gritty of, like, becoming a reality. And that's where it's going to really get fun. Seeing the behind the scenes, seeing the production. Oh, yeah. So what we're going to do now is we have, because we know that there's going to be questions and super chats and other things throughout the entire stream. What I will say is if you're able to put the, uh, your, whatever it might be that you're

Starting point is 00:33:30 going to do in super chat and you have a pledge, put it towards that. and then we'll highlight your comments in general on this stuff. But either way, it's, it's appreciated. We're going to go through them. First one's from my boy, Wiley, any updates on the playlist? Can't find it on a Kickstarter. I knew you were going to be the first person to ask about it. So I wanted to address it quick.

Starting point is 00:33:47 My goal, Wiley, is to make sure that I can get it up ASAP. I just have had every time I go to sit down to do it. I'm getting ready to do it. I got to convert my Apple playlist to a Spotify list. And there's a program. And I just found out how to do that today. So hopefully the answer is, as soon as possible.

Starting point is 00:34:04 But it'll be up there and there'll be an update for it, for sure. JRL, B-65 Jules. Thank you so much. Go-Team, go-team. Go-Team, thank you. Mark Jason Ali, becoming a member again. Good to have Mark Jason, I'll-le back on the membership. Wade Watts, five jewels, go-team, thank you.

Starting point is 00:34:21 Okay, let's see. So we had, Josh is asking to Kickstarter, or donate that money they were supposed to give. They did, yeah. And I don't know, I don't want to say the amount. Yeah. Because I don't know, I don't really know if that matters. It's just, it's just kind of a cool.

Starting point is 00:34:36 And I don't know if we're allowed to. And it's, and I'll say it wasn't groundbreaking, but it helped. Right. Yeah. Exactly. It helped.

Starting point is 00:34:43 Like it helps with a lot of people. Yeah. Yershmitsch, the fact that you're almost 250 from less than 1,500 backers is nuts. The guild had well over 40,000 backers. Thank you. I mean, that's very kind.

Starting point is 00:34:54 Yershmetz. I appreciate that. And so it shows the support in the community that we have. That's the main thing. It's the community. So comic real is question. someone who doesn't watch comedy sitcoms as much. Today, are 30 Minutes Comedy is popular in the zeitgeist today among the younger generation than in past years?

Starting point is 00:35:08 Well, you know, I think that the thing you look at, this is why we've been talking and comparing it to hacks and the bear, right? Because I think those shows those realms of comedies that, and I mean, shit, some can argue that maybe the bear isn't even really necessarily a comedy, even though it gets nominated as a comedy every year. this isn't a traditional kind of sitcom like friends or cheers or anything those lines even though we referenced like the relationship between Kelly and Danny to Sam and Diane and or even moonlighting right it's it's a very different vibe

Starting point is 00:35:43 now right so I think it's shrinking is popular like those are the type of things that I mean comedy's evolved a lot and change I think the traditional you know life studio audience sitcom. Yeah. His, I think it'll come back at some point, but,

Starting point is 00:35:59 um, but I don't know. I think you're 100% right. Like the way these types of shows, think of shrinking, think of the bear. Yeah. Yeah,

Starting point is 00:36:09 grounded in reality. Right. Uh, that was something that Andrew said, the reason why I knew he was the right directory. It's like, I just want to make, it's got to all feel real.

Starting point is 00:36:18 Uh, J. Tran 1. 30 Jules flower. Thank you. B.K. So there's a question that's been asked me. times over and I have no problem answering it again. What happens to this channel while you're off making the show? Well, the pilot's only going to take a week to shoot, let's say two weeks,

Starting point is 00:36:32 right? We have hosts on this channel that are more than capable of hosting it. We have producers in PLD and Luke are more than capable of running it. So for that week, that will happen there. As far as if we are blessed to be able to do a season, then most likely what I'll have to do is, find a time and find a place to be able to shoot the podcast during that time. And whether it's a matter of, well, I can't do it five days a week, but I can do it two days a week or I can do it three days a week. Things will maneuver and just what I've found has always been the best thing, is just be as upfront and honest with the audiences as possible.

Starting point is 00:37:13 And as far as the other stuff goes, what about the reactions? What about the end of the theaters? Well, the good news is that when it comes to the reactions is that I can pre-tape a bunch of shit with Sam in order to have that stuff. during that time, especially during the pilot. And again, during the actual series, or season, rather, we can absolutely pre-tape some stuff there. Now, when it comes to out-of-the-the-the-their reactions and other things,

Starting point is 00:37:38 there are a lot of screenings in Los Angeles as well, and I might want to take a break and go watch a movie and chill out. So there you go. This is another one. So Chris Fields, sorry if I missed this. Did you ever decide to do hats as ad-ons? People want those hats. Yeah, sorry.

Starting point is 00:37:54 I was reading something. People do want this. We're, again, we're going to figure that out. We are going to figure that out. Haskell, so to double check, after 250 is crossed, 10 exclusive tickets will be added to the add-on section and get you front row seats, meet and read pictures, sign posters, and more. Public takes will also be available for purchase

Starting point is 00:38:13 when the attorney comes around. Yes. Now, the live of it, now that's the other thing, though, too, is that at, and we didn't mention it, at 300K, should we hit that today, that will unlock the actual, planning of a live event that we will do outside of the tournament, that the winner of the tournament will face Sam Levine for the championship in the main event, and then the undercard will be

Starting point is 00:38:34 Kevin Smets versus Mike Kowinowski for their fourth entanglement for the Inner Geekedom Championship, and then at 310, those exclusive tickets will open up. If we can get the 310, then those will open up. That's a journey way outside of it. So that's... Wow, that's cool, though. the Lil Yankee just increased my pledge from 75 to 125 and MTS encore t-shirt. I love that. Continued blessing.

Starting point is 00:39:00 Thank you, Lil Yankee. Christian, thanks for all you've done. And we'll do. Thanks to be glad to be long for, I. Glad to have you been a huge supporter and we're so pumped. And now we are, what happened now? That's great. All right.

Starting point is 00:39:13 Now, we're back to 247.15. Yeah. We're trying to get, we're trying to get 250. Not, not, not. Right. Two, 50. Not. Are we explaining ourselves?

Starting point is 00:39:24 Correctly. I don't think. No, there's, I mean, people, you know, listen. But do that, do that before. That's helpful. All right. So now we're back to, now, now we're about three away, three K away from getting to 250 to get to those exclusive tickets.

Starting point is 00:39:41 So if you want to help us out and do that, please deal. Okay. Let's go. Sorry, Craig. No, you're good. Mark Jason, with Craig here, did you want me to use the fan? private infrastructure for merch for international fans. Let me know.

Starting point is 00:39:58 He had asked this question before. I think I sent it over to. Yeah, we could take that offline. Yeah, yeah. We'll figure, yeah, especially with like, man. So I, for my Kickstarter, for cryptoids, cheap plug, we are in the process, because we're in manufacturing now for our figures, and we are in the process of calculating shipping and stuff like that.

Starting point is 00:40:21 And it is wild, how expensive it is, these things. to ship anything so yeah um okay let's see and now as we said we're it we're looking to try to get to that 250 area we need um yeah we would that that'll unlock some some stuff uh okay so we got PLDA you star and all these things as are coming in we're taking Q&A questions right now and let me do the next one here and that would be deviance. So I bought a pair of the original one out of five years before everything got expanded, including the five out of five of the original pair. I remember hearing the particular pair got additional sets. How many now? I think there's only how many additional pair. I think is it six?

Starting point is 00:41:06 How many? I think it's, I think none of them have. I think the original one is at six or seven. The other ones are five. Yeah. Okay. It's very limited. All right. Chris Katrip, how much will the delivery cost for T-shirts be? I live in the European Union. That's good question. Well, we're including, the shipping charges are included in the, like, you'll see them. I think it auto calculates it. But I wouldn't know off the top of my hand, or top of my head, top of my head. But we're trying, we're doing, what I'll say is with that kind of stuff, we're doing everything in our power to keep it as, as affordable as possible. Right.

Starting point is 00:41:43 Mike, how long do you have this idea for the pilot? What made you decide to make this one? This is the question. I think I guess asked this one last week, but it says 2014 around that, in 2017. 13. Bonnie was on. We kind of had this idea. I had this idea after she was on the show. And I was like, well, because people thought at one point that she was my accent. She wasn't, but we played into it. We had some fun with it. And kind of started forming this idea. I thought we were going to do it for the Shmo's No. And then it just never came to be.

Starting point is 00:42:17 It was a lot of different versions of it. And I was like the idea and the martini and I just kind of scrapped it and came to this current version of it. Adrox, spoiler, lots of people will pull out prepared, yeah, I mean, I guess that's, Craig said the same. Yeah, I mean, look, any, this is all, more great life advice for me.

Starting point is 00:42:39 This is what happens when I'm on the show. Perfect. People say no, I don't want to do this anymore because of Craig. No, no, no, no. You know, there's always going to be things that are out of your control. It's just, it is what it is. like there's no um you focus on what's it what's within your uh your grasp sammy hey christian and crew want to say congrats and all this says you've done this past month for our show

Starting point is 00:43:01 super proud to be support thank you sammy and sammy still trying to figure out the work sammy wrote me we're trying to figure out that date to try to i'm trying to do sammy show just trying to see what tomorrow looks like and everything else too uh let's say red carpet question is lindsay lindsay lindsay linds supposed to be supposed to be so Craig you want to you want you want to take this that's actually Well, that's, that's a deep Easter egg. That's actually part of her character. Yeah, it is not. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:43:28 That's Craig working as hard as he can be going. Yeah, that's just like an ongoing running joke in the pilot. You guys are going to love it because like the spelling of someone's name is hilarious. The official, the official answer is it's with a with an E. With a eight. This one we just answered, but the real red wasn't supposed to throw in a few dollars. They did. Yeah, they did. And then, oh, devious.

Starting point is 00:43:49 Oh, that's cool. Appreciate the inside. Kind of fell off aside from listening to Daily Show's when I put my contribution, and I hope you hit the 300K. We're pushing. We're pushing and we're trying. Pushing and we're trying. Are the shirts open to every tier?

Starting point is 00:43:59 It says L planned puzzle. I'm at 25 and don't see the option to add one. Yes. So the way you do that is you go to, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you go to adjust pledge, but you don't have to adjust your pledge. You just use the add-on, right? So we talked about this.

Starting point is 00:44:13 The reason why the shirts aren't appearing on the lower tier is because of the shipping. because we're not, there's no assigned shipping charge to the, to the $25 tier. It can't automatic, you can't add the shirt to it because that would, it's just, it's the way we set it up. But the good news is, is that if you are going to add a shirt and you factor in the shipping, it's going to bring you to that, that tier that includes the shirt anyway. So that would be our recommendation as to just go to that, that first tier that includes the T-shirt. Perfecta. We mentioned, I'll mention again the, the lineup and I put it in the comments before, but today got Craig coming in now and then Martini's going to come in from 8 to 9 a.m.

Starting point is 00:45:02 So get your questions ready for her. 9 to 11. We're going to have the whole, well, we're waiting, we're seeing if Mike can do it, but the whole Sien crew of Smetsi's coming in, Chris Carr, Roxy, Winston, Roka, and potentially Mike, we're waiting to see. 11.11.30. I had my interview with Wendy. And then 11.30 to 12. This is PST, obviously.

Starting point is 00:45:27 We're going to be, PLD and I will be going over some of the stuff that we'll be doing on the channel and everything else too, member stuff. And maybe I'll go over a little bit more on the 40-day challenge. 12-1, Sam and Ming are going to be live in studio. 1 to 130.

Starting point is 00:45:42 We have two special guests coming in. 1.30 to 230. Got Matt Sarah live in studio. 2.30 to 3. Got Josh Harowitz. 3 to 4, Mark Ellis. Then we're going to close the show out after Mark Ellis is with Andrew Fried. So, and a martini is able to come back.

Starting point is 00:45:58 She'll come back to you. Okay. Are the MTS shirts still available? Yeah, they're still available, right? Yeah. Go team. Thank you so much. Toying with increasing my approach from 295 to 500,

Starting point is 00:46:08 but I might go the add-on route instead of sneaker shirts. Totally understand that. Any added insight to the 500 insider tier. I know it jumps to two. 2,500 AP, just curious. But what's the, what's, can you give him some insight to that, what that $500 tier,

Starting point is 00:46:25 what that, what that does? Let me, let me, I don't want to miss, I don't want to miss say anything. Why don't you look that up? I'm going to look that up. Yeah, once you do all, General Jedi, watching late at night,

Starting point is 00:46:37 pulling for the 300 K, planned to bumping my pledge in a bit, but can't do it until morning. Totally fair and appreciate everybody who's even considering doing that. And then Joey, just upgraded my pledge to do that 40-day challenge. Looking forward.

Starting point is 00:46:46 to that, Joey. And we'll talk more about PLD and I and if Luke is, I don't know if who's going to be available at that point in time, but we'll go over a little bit more of the 40-day challenge. I already have people reaching, when's it start? I'm like, we haven't done with the campaign yet. And let's see. So then we have Jare-Vare-619, 10 jewels, gold coin, thank you.

Starting point is 00:47:07 And I just thought my put it. So proud of you guys, thank you, Ace money. Thank you, anybody who's up in the way. And we're back to now 246-9-50, we're almost back up to 247, which is great. just around $3,050 away from opening up those tiers at the 250 level.

Starting point is 00:47:23 So we're excited about that. Yeah. So I think that and as tomorrow is, and I'm still going to try to do, make sure we can do the live show, trying to figure out that, I don't know,

Starting point is 00:47:37 I think I told you about the Schmobot. It was a thing that we did on S-E-N-Live. And so I'm going to open that. I think I'm going to try to open that tomorrow and do a thing where anything that goes into schmobots will um we'll be able to do that uh and and just put it towards the ending campaign tomorrow very cool there was no way it was going to put the schmobot on this stream by the way if you look at the the 250 to 500 which is the um the behind the scenes to direct line yeah the main difference there is the direct line includes the

Starting point is 00:48:12 the private Zoom chat with you Christian and a potential other trending crew member. And going through that, and we should probably do that real quick too for people who maybe, I don't know, maybe they're seeing this for the first time. But as we are at 246, 950, close to 247, you go to the pledges themselves. And that's the direct line that he was talking about. Where are the other ones? Just, oh, here we go. training supporter um insider fan right and there's all these different different ones and then there's

Starting point is 00:48:50 yeah i mean the best thing to do like what we said at the beginning is like there's so much information on this page yeah so we want people to be able to go in and and kind of educate themselves on what these tiers are and what they come with yeah and kind of you know because some of some of the differences are a little nuanced um yeah 32 backers for that for the 40-day challenge match clause. That's pretty awesome. Yeah, it's going to be, I'm really excited about that. That's really cool. Six associate producers.

Starting point is 00:49:17 That pitch to Andrew is still available, though. That's crazy to me. That's crazy to me. Oh, man. I think I might just go in for that. I've got some ideas for Andrew. I mean, I think I know how to take boardwalk to the next level. I can see you doing that.

Starting point is 00:49:31 The co-producer level, we have four backers there already. Director, the Video Village, having done that. No one's got that one yet. The co-producer, this one has a few of them, I think. too yeah which is amazing and then obviously we have a little that chef's table experience with the answer is still available the executive producer level where we have two of those already which is absolutely incredible both i mean people have stepped up and come like yeah people have stepped up in a very big way i mean it's really really inspiring to yeah um all right let's keep

Starting point is 00:50:02 going here and that's it's the seven dollar tier i think which one is what's the i think that's the one that comes with the shirt. Okay. Adrox, the big question is, are we going to win a goldfish hand? Maybe. Ron McDonald will add on still be eligible to add after the campaign is done. Example, if someone decides to add a pin later. It's a good question. I believe so. At least for, we'll make an announcement if we're going to be shutting anything down. Okay. And kind of like I was saying, I think what we might want to do, I keep saying we'll talk about it offline, but maybe we'll have some. sort of just evergreen, you know, limited merchandise store or hub for trending where people

Starting point is 00:50:46 can still, you know, it might be, it might live outside of the Kickstarter. There might be, might be something there for that. Well, we've passed the 247 area, which is good. We are now currently at 247, 285. So people are pushing us forward. They're getting closer and closer to that 250. That's the first one. And now deviance out.

Starting point is 00:51:08 evens, Al, excuse me. For what it's worth, I looked at the add-ons, and one out of nine are available of the original trending sneakers. So there's one left. So it was nine. Okay, still not bad, but slightly disappointed. It's not the original five. Look at the T-shirt.

Starting point is 00:51:21 It's not slightly disappointed? Not the original five. What do you mean? Yeah, so I think, I get what he's saying. Like, it was limited to five, and then we upped it a little bit. I think it's one of those things where it just depends on your motivation. If you're somebody who's like, I want to be. want this because it's really rare. Like I get that.

Starting point is 00:51:41 I mean, nine at nine out of the thousands and though we have is pretty is is pretty rare. I mean, I think it's more like you're always trying to kind of find a balance. Like you don't understand that. Yeah. We're going to make people. And we only and the only reason why we even put a little bit more of those because they went so fast deviance and it was one of the thing where people really wanted more to in and it's because it was the trending one particularly because it's that to have you guys like honored enough that you would be wearing that on your feet. or even having them or owning them to say like what are these is that show that I backed so they're though that's why that one got a little bit more of a boost but i i understand what you're saying

Starting point is 00:52:17 uh mike what is your motivation to make your dreams come true and what is your motivation to make this project work i think it's just believing in the project right just believing in yourself and and believing in your audience you know that's that's that's that's the that's that's the thing that to me what has been this uh sammy some movie news dropped by deadline some time ago kalem turner jack loudin and Josh O'Connor are the three finalists to be the next James Spawn. I like all three of those. All three of those names are good names,

Starting point is 00:52:46 I think, and just enough to where they're not at, they're not at superstar level. Josh O'Connor, who I really like a lot, what's he in? Joshua Conner. He was just in, well, he was in Challenger's, but he was just two things. Oh, right. He was just in

Starting point is 00:53:04 the new Knives Out movie, but then he was in something recently that I, oh, disclosure day. He's great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's really, I don't know. I mean, he's a great actor. Maybe Bond is something he could do. I don't see him as Bond, but again, his audition might be something like, oh, he's that good. He's so, he's so good in Knives Out.

Starting point is 00:53:24 Danny, for a hello from Colorado, Christian, I'm a photographer. I'm curious if there's any interest having onset photographer for our pilot. What I will tell you here, Danny is the same thing that I've told people when it comes to this. Please send any resumes or anything along those lines to Shmo's contact at gmail.com. I've been forwarding those over to make sure that Andrew's office has these things for should we need these things, being looking at these things. Then we have references because people have been, again, a good problem to have where people

Starting point is 00:53:55 are like, hey, we want to. Look at this, 247.385. We jumped up. Thank you, Luke, for the update. Pushing. Look, again, we are sticking with the fact that we are that little engine that could. And that's what we're doing. so um but yeah please dandy go ahead and send and send that that over there are you breaking this live

Starting point is 00:54:12 stream with the blocks and how many to be viewed for later those who can't watch 48 hours straight we're not doing 48 hours we're not doing 48 hours straight hey real quick christian um i have had a couple people reach out about crew um uh inquiries and i i am gonna for i i haven't yet but those will all be forwarded to to you guys and and to make sure everyone can get eyes on that yeah um um All right, let's see next one. I hope it's not Jack. What's that? I think it's the James Bond one.

Starting point is 00:54:42 Oh, okay. You don't have to start that one. But I understand. He could be talking about the Robin Williams movie, but I don't think. That's what I'm saying. I don't think so either. Okay, let's say.

Starting point is 00:54:56 I'm one of the 488 backers. Thank you, Dark Smirk. I'm excited. I'm excited to chat with you about that stuff. Sally, thanks for clarifying. Seeing the current Flix, I wonder if it's from people trying to adjust their pleasures. Remember, everyone had changed to put on an add-on to click

Starting point is 00:55:07 manager pledge. No, I get it. I understand. And things are going to happen. I know that that's how it works. The back and forth. We're at 247, 385 right now as we're approaching the 250. We're only an hour one of this, of this 10 hour live stream, not 48 hours. 10 hours. Yeah, I love slippers. I wish I could do 40-day challenge, but I don't know what I would do. I got cats. I do my nails, but they suck. And then I was doing reactions to movies and one's seen online. Well, the main thing, that's kind of part of the and we'll go into this with PLD and I. So that's one of the main things with the 40-day challenge. It's, and people have asked this question, is it for just people who are starting out or is a people for who have been doing this for two years or 10 years?

Starting point is 00:55:45 And the answer is everyone. Right. Because there's different levels to everybody's things. You're looking to start things out. That's the whole point, right? Is that to me, what I think is fascinating is having a conversation with someone like, like, let's say you. And you're like, look, I don't know what I would do. I mean, in my head, I would think this.

Starting point is 00:56:01 I would think that. And that's when I get to say, well, wait a minute. You like to do this. You talk about this often. Like, for example, Roxy. was someone in the daily and i said to roxy said i think the problem with with with roxy's channel right now is roxy's still doing the thing that we did at collider where it's like i come in i talk to the camera do a live stream and then my channel is growing ish

Starting point is 00:56:21 roxy is so good at social media and she's out and about and doing things she's at screenings all the time she's talking to people she's at restaurants she's at pub she's at premier party she's at all these different things i was like and she's got a huge personality i'm like show them that right that should be roxy's channel roxy's channel should be the, you know, the Roxy Shrier channel. It should be like this. I'm preparing for this audition today. I just found out this news.

Starting point is 00:56:44 I'm doing this thing. I'm going to be at this event. I met with this person today. I had, I sat down and chatted with this person. And that to me is, is the thing I think to make Roxy's thing work. But that's through conversations and knowing her. And if somebody else comes along and says, oh, I have this, this, this and this. That's what I would do.

Starting point is 00:57:02 Yeah. Let's see. Mike, how did you film Grasping at Strauss? that one was done with like we had to scrape for friends and family like $20,000 and figure out how to make that work back in 2007. Shot that in March and April of 2007 I think it was and put that all together and shot I think it was two days at that place room five where we shot the club stuff. um was it one day two days

Starting point is 00:57:33 well i've been two days no it's two or three shit went in two or three days and then we shot it um my friend's apartment we shot at some parks we shot yeah like there was so it was that was about a week shoot as well too for that show okay um

Starting point is 00:57:48 wait is that's all I'm looking for the stars there it is maybe so I guess I goofed on that one I didn't feel these like we can talk about I didn't star that one sorry uh okay we'll add on still be L we did that one we did that one already sorry try to look at the other ones um so some movie news we did that as well towards the case for some of you okay Darian what's up Darian Darian's great hey Greshon sorry to be so busy but put this towards the cause well you can't do that we can't

Starting point is 00:58:21 put that towards the cause this goes this goes to you but thank you Darren the cause is it's completely different the super chat this so I told people if they can go and just do a straight up donation to the Kickstarter. Do that, but that's all right. 247. 620, jump to 620. Look at that. But this is awesome for you to do in general, Darren. Very kind. You're so proud of you, and thanks for all the years of inspiration. Much love. He's super kind dude. Rob, as Matt knows, no longer going to be on the stream today. I didn't have an opportunity to kind of maneuver that and make that work. I just, between trying to coordinate his schedule and Andes and then see who they're going to compete with it. It was

Starting point is 00:58:59 just it was a lot it was a lot um Danny hello from Colorado oh we did that one already okay sorry he did that one already too so I missed that that other one before too I guess I was going down okay let's say Michael has anyone brought up moving your Kickstarter over to backer kit after Kickstarter is done I know people have done it just familiar with how to do it what is that now I'm not familiar with that so backer kit is um it's two things it's a pledge manager right so after the campaign is over um We're actually keeping our campaign within the walls of Kickstarter. But there's a program, it's similar to Kickstarter.

Starting point is 00:59:40 It's a crowdfunding platform called BackerKit, where people, you can basically move your crowdfunding campaign from Kickstarter into BackerKit, which allows you to continue raising funds. it's for this type of campaign I kind of looked into it it's pretty pricey and you know we really wanted to keep the focus within the walls of the campaign and Kickstarter's been pretty good to us too Kickstarter's been great like we we've had I think

Starting point is 01:00:10 I think Kickstarter's been really a huge part of why we saw some of that early push and success because like we were able to connect with them and had a really great relationship with their customer success team they put us projects love before we even launched right yeah uh really cool jason one of the stretch goes should be christian's

Starting point is 01:00:30 physical transformation videos just kidding you look great thank you can't wait for our show to crush we're getting there i mean i you know at point and again it's just a matter of trying to do things um ming and i were going to actually try to shoot some videos at the gym to bring to the audience as well because if people haven't subscribed to ming's channel we'll talk about it more when he's on today but like his channel mings merciless fitness it has my whole routine. So it's the routine that I do every single day. Dang. How do you, hold on, how do you do all this?

Starting point is 01:01:02 Well, I mean, if I didn't go to, I realize this now, and I didn't, and I wish I would have known this years ago. If I didn't do this now, I wouldn't be able, if I didn't go to the gym, four days a week, I wouldn't be able to do this type of schedule. So this, right, this is, it kind of boosts your ability to, yes. I made sure that I went to the gym this morning in order to do a 10-hour schedule. dream. Like it just gives you that kind of energy and, and make sure that you're ready to go. And I just never really, I always gave myself the excuse of I'm too busy. I don't have time to do that. And I have more energy to do things now because I go to the gym. So it's four, I try to go four days a week. Some,

Starting point is 01:01:40 you know, like this week might be three because Sam and I are shooting some stuff right now. And she's going to come in the morning tomorrow. So I may get there early. I may not. So, um, all right, let's see. I guess we're going to wrap. Craig up in just a second here. Scott, B, is the show set and current day. It is, it is shot in current day. It's funny, it originally opened, the show originally opened in the past,

Starting point is 01:02:05 but we loved that scene. It actually was a scene that hooked a lot of people, that opening scene, but A, it was too expensive to shoot, and B, it would be great to open up episode two. For sure. Mike, what kind of figures does Craig have behind him? Huh.

Starting point is 01:02:23 That would be, an entire other show. I'm a huge collector of all sorts of stuff. So everything that you see directly behind me is Batman. Like 1-6 scale, if that means anything to your audience. I'm a huge Ghostbusters

Starting point is 01:02:38 fan. I'm a huge Batman fan. Love Star Wars. Yeah. You know, all the all the good stuff. I'm not a big James Bond guy, though. Oh, yes. Mike Kellenoski loves it. All right, look, so what we'll do, Craig, and we'll bring in because we have our next guest. Yeah, yeah. But you know our next guest,

Starting point is 01:02:54 So we'll keep you on with our next second until you have to pop out. And our next guest is my co-star and my co-writer. Hi. In the Peritorious here. This is so great that you have me on when I'm asleep. What's your name? I don't even know. This is fantastic.

Starting point is 01:03:10 Yeah. Cooking my coffee, my brain cells are coming online. So you're scheduling me at 8 a.m. This is fantastic. You asked me to do that. At 8 a.m? Yeah, you said I can do it if it's super early in the morning. Oh, morning to me is like 10.

Starting point is 01:03:24 No, that doesn't work for me. This doesn't work for me, dog. Just letting everybody know. Oh, I'm a little slow. I like your glasses. Yeah, I like your glasses too. I was a good friend. I thought that was a Mets.

Starting point is 01:03:38 I thought there was a Mets hat. I was a get out of here. I'm married to a Yankees fan. Stop it. Hell yeah. So we're right now, Martini, where we are currently. We are. Oh, my God.

Starting point is 01:03:50 I don't, I didn't know. This is so exciting. 247, 660. So we're waiting. Our next one of two... We'll afford three seconds of your favorite song. What's that? We can afford three seconds of the song.

Starting point is 01:04:03 I know. Well, we can do a cover. I can at least reveal that. Oh my God, what if we sing one of the songs that we want on the show? Right. Instead, in that one scene,

Starting point is 01:04:12 I just start humming willy bully. Yeah, it'd be great. It's pretty funny. Yeah. So we're pushing towards it. And we're waiting for that 250. for that Shmode on particular thing. Those are like rock stars and Craig,

Starting point is 01:04:28 whoof, crazy what you've done. Oh, I mean, listen, this has been, I've said it a million times, but this team is amazing. Yeah. It's been really fun. Well, we have martini here. So now we're going to do,

Starting point is 01:04:41 we're opening it up to the audience as well too. So there are questions. Really complicated questions that her brain can. We've gotten some great questions about like the show and how we've kind of put this thing together and how we, you and I co-wrote it and other things. that we're that keep coming and I think to have you here for this hour would be great are you

Starting point is 01:04:58 I don't know I don't know we might we might have a car scene with you later when we wrap up if potentially if you're able to pop back in with Andrew at the end um that would be good if you can so we're just kind of but you know what I haven't talked to you about on air what we've obviously talked about it many times over was the addition of Kevin Pollock to the case. Ooh was that crazy I passed out that was so crazy I'm like I'm sorry who that was so exciting he is just so wonderful and in like every way it's just funny warm like he's just so perfect for this role and for the show i i feel truly honored that um he's going to be part of it really and our brains are just moving at a million miles an hour as they were as it was announced or we found out it was

Starting point is 01:05:42 it was just so cool it's like these these really excited kind of phone calls and i did a lot of like emojis like dancing i saw those yeah like a 14 year old like i always text like that it was awesome um yeah Craig uh you want if if you if you if you want if you got what i'm going to do is i'm going to i'm actually going to pop because i i want to get a couple things set up in the background for the 250 tier um also yeah i can run a Kickstarter campaign but my wife asked me to buy a lint roller and i don't even know where to begin that task today you have no idea i'm like what do i is there like a website or something i go to i don't know oh the household item stuff. I still don't know where the damn. There's so many different things in my house.

Starting point is 01:06:27 And my wife goes, I told you, this is where this goes. And it does not. Oh, my God. To this day, my husband will be like, where are the forks? And you're like, I'm, that hurts my head so on a level like, look at that 247, some of 300 away from 248. There's a lady that works at my target. And I've asked her 12 times where the hand soap is this year. It's like our, it's like a running bit we have. So I'm useless in the real world. But, I mean, same, same. But, all right. Well, Craig, you let me know, you know, and the one thing, if we do hit, when we hit the 250,

Starting point is 01:07:00 you let me know when those tears are. Is it all that you're ringing? No, but we have a little ticker on the, now, but Luke's been putting the ticker up there. So when that, when we come, when we hit the 250, people will know that they can go buy those exclusive tickets for the Shmowdown when that comes up. Yeah. All right. Well, thank Craig.

Starting point is 01:07:19 We'll see you soon. Bye, guys. Yeah. Have fun. Hi, Craig. That's weird. Oh, Craig, you're host, no. Wait a second. I'll be right back, Martin.

Starting point is 01:07:29 Oh, hi, guys. So it's just me. No, not anymore. Yeah, you've never even been to a Shmodeon event. I'm so, you'll- I have no idea what it is, and I cannot wait to see it. I really, it just sounds unbelievable, and the fandom around it is so spectacular.

Starting point is 01:07:45 It's the best. It's spectacular. That's actually what we called our big WrestleMania, Shmode-on-s spectacular. You know what we have not talked, about on the air? What? Was the creation of Schmo's no? Oh my God. We've never we haven't we have talked about it. Isn't that crazy? So so the funny thing for people I've told the story. I've told me what I feel like I'm a part of it but I don't know what it is. The Schmo's no.

Starting point is 01:08:09 Well no no shmow down because it still has the word smote. Yeah. And that evolved from the Shmo's show. So for people who didn't know and it's a bummer because Mark I was trying to get Mark on this hour too. Yeah, he's coming in later. But, um, so when you were working at current TV and you were San Francisco for a job and I had to find a job and that was the only TV job I could was it. Yeah. And you had and you had that job and I remember you reaching out to me because that was right after. So for people who was asked about before, grasping at straws was that show the pilot that I did and I wrote this whole thing for a bunch of people, much friends. And there's a character that a lot of Sessessinger played, who played, she played it brilliantly called Marley, but Marley was based

Starting point is 01:08:56 off of Martini initially, and I was writing a character for her, but she couldn't do it, and she moved, and we, you know, and it worked out because Eliza was brilliant in the role. But you were gone at current TV, and I don't even know, you just reached out to me or whatever it was. We were still talking. I had to think of what funny people I knew to do stuff. Eliza included, I made her two series too. Right.

Starting point is 01:09:18 I remember, yeah. And then, yeah, I was trying to think of funny things to do. I had to do movie reviews. I had to come up with all this content. And I'm like, oh, my God, I need funny people to do movie, movie reviews. At first it was pilots. Remember it was television pilots? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:09:31 The first thing was you said, I'm having a bunch of people. You send us one of those cameras and you're like, I'm going to sing in one of these. The flip phone was just invented. Yeah. Very old. Yeah, it was like, but it was one of those like cameras that like recorded the footage. Yeah, I remember that? Yeah, and you said, get another comedian with you.

Starting point is 01:09:47 We'll pay you in beer and pizza. That's all I heard and I said, I'm in. And they said, you know, and I remember my, and I was like, well, it's either I was going to ask either Rick Ingram or, but I had been talking to Mark Ellis because of grasping at straws. We just became really good buddies behind the scenes because I had them in there. We became better friends because of grasping straw is like just shooting the shit. He was the guy that I was talking to like laughing my ass off.

Starting point is 01:10:13 And I was like, yeah, I'll bring Mark on it. And we weren't on camera together. No, you weren't. You gave me footage separately. and I edited it together, right? That was for like months. And then eventually, eventually, because he did not,

Starting point is 01:10:25 because I had pitched it to you and I said, well, don't you think you'd be better for the two us wrong on camera? And you said at first, no, but then you're like, yeah, maybe it could work.

Starting point is 01:10:33 And then I'm like, Mark's against it. Mark is in stand-up comedy mode. Yeah. He doesn't want it, he doesn't want it to be like a Smothers Brothers type thing. And I was like, yeah,

Starting point is 01:10:41 but it'd be different with the camera. And then we did it. And, you know, this is why Mark is as good as he is, where when he was, at first he was like, like, I don't know, I don't know. And then when we did, he's like, yeah, this is better. It works. Yeah. Your chemistry together is pretty awesome. I mean, you guys had me crying, laughing.

Starting point is 01:10:59 There's so much that I couldn't put in just because we insult the movies or actors as much. But I literally just tears of laughing. It just made my day to edit those. And it was just like the raw schmows. I'm not really, it was, that was like straight off the comedy store, stage schmows, not knowing what to do or how to. Yeah, you guys weren't like polished in any way. You're just like diarrhea. Yeah, they know what we were doing. So you guys just cut it together. And then we had this whole thing where we potentially going to do a show with

Starting point is 01:11:26 Rotten Tomatoes and that like fell through for a long time. And you, you went up leaving Current. And then we wound up getting that show kind of ripped off by somebody. And then it was because of. Yeah. Yeah, it's because of that, though. Then when I told you, I'm like, I'm just like, I'm just going to start doing this on YouTube. And you're like, should.

Starting point is 01:11:47 And I remember vividly. I was working for Peter Roth at the time. Do you remember this? Peter Roth and I was working for Peter. What's that? Warner Brothers? Yeah. Okay.

Starting point is 01:11:59 And so when I was, it was, you know, it was tempting, but I was working for him. It was like a three-month gig. And I was going back and forth with you and we're like, I was like, we want to create this name for this thing. And you're like, you should just do something like the Shmo's who know movies or the, or, you know, no movies. Well, anything that rhymes. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:12:21 And I was like, what about just Shmoh's no? And you're like, perfect. And then I told Ellis and he hated it. He hated it. Of course he did. He hated it. And then we just, you know, and I think for the first. And he forced him to do it.

Starting point is 01:12:32 Yeah. I think for like the first three or four months, you helped us like edit a few of the videos. Oh, yeah. Because I saw at the time, that's when all like, kind of like creators were starting on YouTube. This was right when the creators kind of world started. And I was like, oh my God, you guys getting it on there, get in there. because everyone was starting to kind of blow up at the time.

Starting point is 01:12:50 It was 07. So it was like, you know, YouTube didn't just started in 05. So it's kind of wild to think about when you look back on it. Yeah. And I was like, guys, get in there. Like you start doing it. And I remember I was like, oh, maybe I'll do some. And I filmed like one.

Starting point is 01:13:04 And I was like, that's an out. Right. Garbage. So I didn't have the ability to do it. That's for sure. It was hard to back then to kind of like film yourself and put it up. It was. It was different.

Starting point is 01:13:16 inequality and all those things. It was so different. And we were like one of like I think so. You guys did it so well. Well, Corey and Martin who are now double toasted, they were they were on YouTube, but they were spill.com. It was like they would do animated kind of movie roos and they're just brilliant guys. They were on there. Fury of the Film fan, Grace Randolph. They were already there doing movies.

Starting point is 01:13:41 Right, right, right. Yeah, no, there are people definitely started. But like three or four people now there's like four thousand people. people doing it. Right, right. So, but anyway, we got questions and stuff that are coming in. I'm going to make sure, hey, Christian, can't wait for trending and I'm proud to be a backer. Thank you, Auburn fan. Did you start writing knowing how you wanted to end the show or how you wanted to start the show? Always curious about this process. Well, I think ending it kind of came with after we wrote the pilot because we said, oh, well, they can go here. They can go here. And then we started to map out the seasons, but the ending didn't start right away. No, that's not true, though. But we knew,

Starting point is 01:14:16 The whole concept was that these two Xs would be forced to host a podcast. Oh, yeah. The ending of the pilot, sure, sure. I think he means, I think he means of the entire, entire series. How do you want to end the show? If you're talking about the pilot itself, yes, we always knew, we always knew the ending of the pilot. Yes. I mean, it had to lead to there.

Starting point is 01:14:36 Yeah, to that to make you want more. That concept. And then we kind of went backwards from there. Yeah. Then how you wanted to start the show. You know, it's funny, you started when your original, like our, long that you had. I loved the way you started that one because it was kind of a long shot following a manager through like the comedy store because it can't get you into the world. And I was really

Starting point is 01:14:55 so into that visual and it just kind of brought me into the world. I loved it. And then we were like, okay, budget wise. Budget wise. So we had to come up with a different way to open it. And then how is it open? Oh yeah. And then I think the opening now is just so hard. It makes more sense to where they both are. You are rather than the world. It's about, it's about, it's about, you. And we love that scene because we even know that was a kind of cool kind of drama version of it, we wrote our own version

Starting point is 01:15:24 of that scene together which I think still, I wouldn't change a bit of it. No, it's so weird. It's good for episode two. It's all clicked in so quickly and easily and you're like, yes, and it just like the beats and it just, I don't know, it just felt like it just kind of flowed out.

Starting point is 01:15:42 I agree with you. It makes so much sense. And now when you read it, you're like, yes, it's just so fun. So this is, This is the dude who did all the sneakers for us, Martina. Oh, awesome. Those were ridiculous. Did you get a pair of the, they got me, they got me a pair of one of my, but I don't think I got the trending ones, unfortunately. But there's the trending pair, the T's the Schmodeons pair, and then there's the DTE.

Starting point is 01:16:02 I don't know how many are left of those, but thank you of support and add this here. He's going to love making them. He's making all of me. He's going to, he's busy. Oh, my God. That's tough. Yeah, busy. Sounds like the only prerequisite of the 408 challenge is wanting to grow, grow a YouTube channel.

Starting point is 01:16:14 I mean, it's, it is an. I mean, if a matter of getting comfortable on camera, if it's something you've always wanted to do, 100%. I think it's so much bigger than that because there's so, I mean, being able to speak on camera right now is so key. I think it's getting away from creators and getting into, I mean, I think we're getting away from influencers and getting into creators.

Starting point is 01:16:33 And I think everyone being able to build a brand around themselves or a world around themselves or sharing whatever, I think it's so important for everyone to have that muscle. And Christian, for teaching that as like getting you comfortable. I just think that's so brilliant. I saw I saw so many of those classes on Instagram taught by women. It's nice to see you giving an opportunity to do it in a different, in your way and like help people be comfortable.

Starting point is 01:16:57 You're such a proud. I'm trying. I think that's one of the sneaker, awesome things that you're being offered. Yeah, and I think there's like 35 or 40 people that are already doing, which is amazing. Danger Will Robinson.

Starting point is 01:17:11 Christian, having a challenging personal time right now, but I'm reposting your link and really talking up trending. you've been a great escape from your while of time no matter what winning training thank you very kind of sending lots of positive energy towards you yeah please uh saul you would god you would love sol i need help with my youtube show what i said i love the name oh yeah but like but like you saw saw give me a call real quick you can hear you can hear sol's voice you won't be able to talk to him but you'll hear you're hear the voice and then he's like you'll he'll he read he read the

Starting point is 01:17:42 script and he and he knows he gave us good uh good thoughts too but he's he's a real character I need help with my YouTube show where I make phone calls to other YouTube shows. My premise might need some expansion. I'll tell you what, you'd probably be pretty good at it. Stefan Gonzalez is Christian. You should definitely be advertising Josh on the thumbnail. I think it'll bring a different audience. Yeah, can we put, you know, Luke, maybe can we update that and put Josh Harowitz on there?

Starting point is 01:18:06 Please. I think that's probably a good idea. Wiley. Damn it, Christian. You got me to add on the 40-day challenge just now after what you said about Roxy, respect your opinion a lot. I mean, that's kind of the, that's, thank you, Wiley. And that's the point is that you have to talk it through when it comes to it,

Starting point is 01:18:22 because you can think, well, you know, I've had 5,000 subscribers for a while, but it's not growing. The question is why. And I had to have that conversation because we were doing, Martin, I just mentioned about how long I was doing movie reviews. And I did it in a way when Mark and I would do movie reviews. And then I had a movie that was out for months. And I would do a review and it would do 10,000, 20,000 views. And it was like, okay, great.

Starting point is 01:18:44 That's amazing. Well, when I start my own YouTube channel, that's, That'll happen again. Free guy. It's been out for for months. I can do a review and everybody just wants to watch the reviews. It ate shit. And I was like, what am I doing wrong? And I had to have the conversation with Greg Alba. And he's like, no, things are different now. They're changing and you just got to figure it out. Yeah. It's constantly changing. And you've figured out so much. My bad didn't know. I'll send a donation for the Kickstarter. I'll dare. I was busting your chops. But that's, but totally, totally cool. Yeah. It's just super chats don't. They're they help the channel. tremendously but the uh but for kick starter it's something completely separate Sean Christian don't forget to eat I gotta figure that out don't want to say you worry me again when do you want me to order from tallios I mean I mean I might actually I thought about getting tallios with uh with um ming and uh sam or later I might might yeah just get delivery of food and eat it on eat it on let us hear you eating

Starting point is 01:19:34 that's lovely yeah um we should absolutely do that I'll just watch the sausage drip and hit the floor okay eating on camera Let's say we've got, we've got some text from one of our executive producers trying to figure some stuff out. Okay, let's see next one. The Lil Yankee can't do the sneakers now. Hope they'll be available later when the hats come out. Sneakers are probably going to, this is probably the end of the sneakers, but hats will probably come out too, but the sneakers will probably be the end of them for sure.

Starting point is 01:20:06 You've got to come up to the full hats. The hats we're going to, we'll do eventually. Rob Job, this may be a dumb question, but how would the show get picked up exactly by a studio? There are no dumb questions, first of all. That's not a dumb question, although, I mean, in question of how it would, and Martini, please jump in and let me know if I say anything you don't agree with. But I think what we do is, the first thing is shoot the most comfortable and fun version of this script that we can. Then it's in the hands of the brilliant team over at Boardwalk to and the vision of Andrew Freed of doing what he's going to do and put it together.

Starting point is 01:20:46 The next step is the connections that Andrew has and everything to of where does this land the best? And who says the things the most about the show that we all go, oh, they get it. That makes sense. Let's go with them. Yeah, I think that's key about having this opportunity to self-fund and do it ourselves, is that we get to kind of choose people who get it and see it because a lot of, I see so many projects that get picked up by a studio. And then, you know, it's not the same vision. and it gets changed.

Starting point is 01:21:17 And, you know, there's a lot of cooks in the kitchen. It goes through a lot of notes from a lot of different layers of people. And a lot of really great projects turn into like kind of watered down projects. So I think our real intention is to like not allow that to happen and keep the comedy and keep it fun. And make sure we find people who really get it. I think that's the key. Let's see. Next one here is Rob McDonald.

Starting point is 01:21:40 Do you have any plans from things from your real life that you might want in the background of trending? Example, picture of Big Balls. Totally. Yeah, I mean, I want to put them on cereal, but I think there are certain things from like the show and other little things that we could do. Like when Danny's, I told you that,

Starting point is 01:21:54 when Danny's eating cereal, so the guy who dropped big balls actually did a picture of him, a cereal. If we can do that, that'd be amazing, yeah. There needs, absolutely, your podcast world is going to be brought in because it's a podcast world.

Starting point is 01:22:05 And it helped make the show. Yeah. 100%. You need an homage to. Yeah. 100%. Sam, did anyone,

Starting point is 01:22:14 did anyone teach more, teeny French yet. Do you know that? What was she saying here? Yeah, I understand. You mean from the video? No, from the thing that she wrote at the end. You said,

Starting point is 01:22:26 I don't know what that is. You know what that is? I only know, Bonjour, and merci like a good American. Okay, good. Perfect. So, no, no one,

Starting point is 01:22:36 clearly no one is. A proper American scumbag. Well, Craig left. If I'm a proper American, it's bonjour and America. Mike Mujo. No, he, we missed them. We missed them.

Starting point is 01:22:45 So she'll have to show them some other time. Oh, my mouth? Yeah, that thing. Yeah. That's the thing. Yeah, the thing. R.L. Jensen, Christian, I have my pledge. That's the only one.

Starting point is 01:22:55 I got other skills. I'm sure. I know you do. I have my pledge. I believe in you and the team. Thank you. And if France and James, you deserve success.

Starting point is 01:23:02 Thank you, man. I appreciate. Thank you for upping it. Like currently right now, 247, 475 is where we are. Oh, my God. This is so exciting. So we're still around,

Starting point is 01:23:11 we're still around, we're still around a little less than three. Okay, way to hitting that two-fing that. goal. Yeah. Let's say. We need good music. We have so many good songs teed up. And music is like one of most expensive parts. My playlist is still, it has to. I have my one fan Wiley. He's just waiting because we opened up the tier where I'm putting my playlist for and. And so for people know that people know that whole playlist, by the way, is, is my mind for like the entire series. Not just not just the pilot, not just season one. It's for like it's what and it's not anything that is going to guarantee to be in it. It's just what I write to and the ideas. And I've had meetings with martini and coffee meetings

Starting point is 01:23:50 where I'm like, oh, and imagine a scene like this with this type of music. And then there's this one 80s song that we just both agreed that Kelly would be an 80s music fanatic. And I am an 80s music. I know. And I played that one song and she's like, I've never heard this and yes. I gotta say your music is, I mean, you compete with my husband, but it's, it's on point. So I'd always be like Christian, what song is right here? Yeah. And it's true. I find, I find, I find, and I don't know if it's my ADHD, but I do find when writing to music really makes it. It helps me tremendously. Even let's see, let's see if we might have to, sometimes I find we have to trim stuff out when I do this, but let's see what pops up. Play my playlist trending on shuffle.

Starting point is 01:24:30 Let's see. Trending now shuffling. Let's see. You know that one. Yeah. So that I mean, I'm really good at this game. Yeah. So that was that was on there. That's one of, that's one of the song. Let's play. Let's play a second one. Let's see what comes up. No, that's for that. That's for, that, that, that would in my head for you would know this, both sides of animals, that was a Cornelia's song. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:25:02 Martina, I'm digging your glasses. Glad to hear you married to a Yankees fan. I knew I liked you. Any chance you could give us that poor woman trapped. I love that it's a poor woman. I love that she's in there against her will. Yeah. Are you guys ready?

Starting point is 01:25:18 Yeah, let's do it. The craziest thing. We've got to bring that into the show somehow. I know. Does it play on camera? It's really creepy and person. Look at it. I look at PLD. It plays. Oh, it plays. Okay. I just, I don't know. Maybe I just do it. I don't think you realize how crazy that is. Really?

Starting point is 01:25:45 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. All right. PLD was, people thought you were possessed. Well, I am. I am. Let's say next one. Where is the Teach Martini French here? I don't see it.

Starting point is 01:25:55 clear. Thank you. Everybody, let's throw in some money. I'd love to learn French. Seattle, K.O. is the block of hosts after Martini.

Starting point is 01:26:03 All the K.H. host in Matini. Yes. We're doing the after. We're getting rid of martini and getting the Shmo's no people in. Yeah, once martini's out of here, we're going to actually have the real show.

Starting point is 01:26:11 Let's get this woman out of here. Who is this person? Right. Yeah, she's going to be, once she's toast, we're going to have everybody in here. And I think Roca will be on for about an hour. And then the rest.

Starting point is 01:26:23 So, yeah. Look at that. Ooh, going up, guys. 248 and Mac that 248. I'm learning French. If we can get to 250, I'm taking French classes. Don't promise that to them. They're going to tell you.

Starting point is 01:26:36 I would have no. I'm going to go on the toilet. Is there a specific scene that you guys are excited to film because you know it's going to hit the audience right in the gut? Oh, yeah. At the end. You know, it's really, it's really our only scene together. Yeah, in the pilot, yeah. And it's great.

Starting point is 01:26:54 It's like a boxing match. It is. Yeah. It is. It's the whole it's really good. Yeah. And it's a lot's a it's a roller coaster ride. Yeah. And the reason I think it hits in the gut is because the buildup that you get with the two of them leading into it. Yeah. I mean, they haven't seen each other. And yeah, that's the other thing I wanted to talk to you about too. Because there's, that's, that's, that's the other thing is we have to play it like to where people. Yeah. We'll talk about it off here. But I was thinking about that the other day. I was like, oh, we have to play that differently than. then people would assume we were playing it. I'll explain to you what I mean. Okay. Because, yeah, I don't want to give anything away. Rob, who is the one dream guest star you'd like to see playing themselves on an episode of training? Oh, no, no, no.

Starting point is 01:27:42 I wouldn't want to see her playing herself. Oh, oh, oh, playing themselves. Well, I think the cool thing about the concept of the show is that it's a podcast. So, like, the podcast will have a guest. Yeah. Do you know the first person that came in mind? Who? Vin Diesel.

Starting point is 01:27:56 Vin Diesel. I don't know why. Kelly's going to fight you on that one. But I don't know why. To play himself, I think you'd do almost like a Gary Bucci entourage type thing. You don't know why. Then I don't know why either.

Starting point is 01:28:07 Yeah, I don't know why. But Vin Diesel was one that I thought it would be interesting. I mean, funny people. I like anyone's funny. Yeah, true. Diesel doesn't strike me as funny, but that's cool. That's, I think, the reason why I've wanted. Santa.

Starting point is 01:28:20 Question for Martini. What has been the most challenging aspect of writing for not only your character, but the other characters for trending. Oh, that's a great question. What would be a challenging aspect of writing for now? I think maybe not making it me. You know, I think that's a challenge because Kelly isn't me. She's me in a lot of ways, but I need, you know, separating those,

Starting point is 01:28:42 not making it so me and making her own person, I think. And then for writing, you know, Danny, I think, meeting Christian Christian is the Danny boy so I think you know I think we split on a lot of things of kind of taking over different voices 100% like there would be there'd be times like we'll write

Starting point is 01:29:04 and like I would mock up a scene and he'd be like men don't talk like that and vice versa where it'd be like I'd say the same thing yeah and I'd be like women I'd Kelly would never say that you should never say that I'd fine just change it was like the whole the point what we both understood real quick about it just like look write this particular scene and how you see it

Starting point is 01:29:20 yeah and then we'll edit it in our character's voices then we'll look at it yeah and say oh yeah yeah that works or what should we do that instead and the same thing like i think like the funny thing is both with like lindsay and like ron um we both kind of wrote yeah yeah it was like they were on the same page with the majority of like and now i can now you can see because the description we can actually talk about this i'm like milo's one of my favorite oh yeah and jules they're they're like speaker characters that are going to bring a lot of humor yeah yeah yeah yeah Let's see. Sammy also says Christian should do a live pizza review later on the stream for random pizza place. Yeah, I mean, we'd have to get to edit, you have to deliver it.

Starting point is 01:30:00 Adrox, the success is well deserved. Always pleasure to see good people win. Thank you, Adrox. That's very nice. Christian is good people. Me on the other hand.

Starting point is 01:30:07 Yes, you are. Alfie Younger, hey guys, are you looking at financing outside of Kickstarter 2, rooting for you. Well, currently right now,

Starting point is 01:30:13 the answer is no, but you never, you never know what's going to happen outside. It depends on how bad we want those songs, right? It's true. This is great. Blaine. Hey, Martini, how are you going to deal with Christian's horrible attitude on set? Real crumbum. It's really good for my method acting because Kelly, you know, has so much hatred towards him. It really plays. My hatred towards Christian in real life will really allow me to get into the character. You're a crumb creep. I want to

Starting point is 01:30:41 fight you. You don't have the courage. You're a real crumbum. Is that a real thing? That's amazing. Oh, my God. I I love him. I love you. I think he's a real bad guy, but, but yeah, but I think so. I don't know, but I think that, but the crumb bum thing is amazing. Cumachar, random potential stupid question. No, no stupid question. Because I have virtually no understanding of the business. Is it possible the studio eventually picks us up and wants to invest some of their money in their own? It's not, that's, that's a farthest thing from a stupid question and actually a very smart question. And the answer is one billion cent. It's a possibility. Yeah. I mean, they can say, Once they pick up the show, their money is going into producing the show.

Starting point is 01:31:21 Yeah, yeah. I mean, especially when it comes to the, when it comes to the pilot, right? Like, had we filmed or raised enough to do like a season, then it's like, okay, they're just going to distribute the season because they'd have it. But if it was a pilot, they're going to go, okay, we really like the pilot and the idea. The thing is that they will have notes and other things throughout the season if they put their money in it. That's what's going to happen. But yeah, of course, of course, that's a possibility.

Starting point is 01:31:46 Yeah. We just kept raising money for it. We could do it all on our own. That's right. Look at that. 247. Oh, my guys. Almost at 248.

Starting point is 01:31:55 That's it. Tom Hanks. How much to catch jelly roll? You have to... Thanks. Yeah. No, I'd rather cast Tom Hanks. Silver Star.

Starting point is 01:32:04 Same. I love Tom Hanks. Thank you. What's your favorite Tom Hanks movie? Oh, man. I mean, what comes to mind? Money Pits of Money Pits. Him in the ground and the rug.

Starting point is 01:32:15 Yeah, yeah. Splash is one. Like we like I we like I we little bit buddies was so good John candy is so good in splash oh hey roaring you're corn in turf and uh in tom's penis it's so good oh it's so good okay follow to my last question if you guys were gonna pick a studio which would you pick well that question i don't answer and i'll tell you why because i don't know the answer to who's got the best vision to the show yet

Starting point is 01:32:45 it's about the people yeah it's about who gets it's about who gets it You don't know who the development, who all the people are there. Yeah. So, Night Fox. Someone who would allow us to, you know, have pretty, a lot of creative freedom. Yeah. Night Fox 1190. I might have missed this, but do your character have kids?

Starting point is 01:33:01 Kelly does. Yeah. I love a teenager with a lot of attitude. A lot of attitude. And, and. We love her. Yep. Danny does not.

Starting point is 01:33:10 Yoshimitsu, I can't wait to see that scene with the two of your chemistry in the promo video and here live is awesome. And it's funny. It is, you know, what's great about it. is that when you see the energy and chemistry of us on that promo video, it's going to be such a different energy in the scene because there's no world where Kelly would be that close to him. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:33:33 No, at all. So you're going to have, it's the idea. We wanted to show him. Yeah, no, we wanted to show that to show like what, what Christian and Martini have. Yeah. Because people for, and not a lot of people, there was like one or two people who are confused.

Starting point is 01:33:47 like, I thought we're not supposed to like each other. We're not in character there. Yeah. I'm just a bumbling idiot in general. You were hilarious. That wasn't a character. That was just me. Well, and the funny thing is that was it. And I could give a little behind the scenes of that shoot. Because we were trying to, and it was so cool.

Starting point is 01:34:03 It's like one of the things I think that showed the dynamic between me and you and Andrew real quick. And I think that we all three of us go, this is going to be a lot of fun. Because I said the behind the scenes stuff there is we were trying to figure out what that promo video was going to be. Yeah. And at one point, it was like, They was pitched that I was going to be the one doing all the silly stuff.

Starting point is 01:34:20 And I was like, my audience knows I can be silly. I'm like, they don't know martini yet. Yeah. And then once, I said, let's show. And everybody was like, yeah. Her real colors. She would 100%. She was going to dress up as a rodeo clown and so dancing around.

Starting point is 01:34:34 But we, but we immediately when I said, well, why don't we make her do the, and she goes, yeah. And Andrew's like, yep, let's do that then. And it was, it was not even, it was just everybody knew right away. That was, that was where to go. Great. Yeah. It's so fun. I mean, we had so much fun. It's going to be really, and I hope that the fun we have, even if we're in the characters and we're not, you know, goofing around with each other, you know, there's a love for each other in the characters and in person that just, you know, comes through. And I think that, like, we're at worst, we'll still be having fun. And I think that goes through. Does that make sense? I don't know. I need more coffee. No, it does. Red carpet talk, Sandy. You can have fun with that Elijah Wood on I love L.A. as himself was hilarious. I didn't see that yet, but I didn't see that yet, but I don't.

Starting point is 01:35:16 I should. I have been watching a lot more hacks, which I like want. Hacks? Yeah, it's really good. I told you. I told you. Vin Diesel is so ironically funny. Yes. Un-ironically funny. What I say ironically? Yeah. Seattle K.O. John Sina as himself. Sure. Jason Zedakes would be a cool. Oh, I love that. Oh, I love it. We have, we have those ideas and other things, too, as far as, like, cast members. And we are also, unless we get at the peacock, it's probably going to have to change the SNL.

Starting point is 01:35:44 We're aware of that. But everybody will understand that it's that type of show. Yeah. Coheed, what's your character's favorite restaurant? Oh. If it's in L.A., I'd say that Danny's favorite restaurant is probably Pache. No. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:36:01 Danny's character is not, that's your favorite restaurant. I'm telling you, he's, he's, Danny's Italian. Danny's Italian. I didn't say mine. That's like fancy Italian. He wouldn't like fancy Italian. See, this is what we do. Look at this.

Starting point is 01:36:13 hers would be a place that serves good wraps smoothies and juices yeah right um salad parakeet cafe Ryan S there he is Ryan one of our executive producers whoo-whoop uh an appearance by Gary Buccia

Starting point is 01:36:31 on the show would be wild it would be wild I can't too wild I would like to tell I would like to put Kelly's hair into braids but instead of instead of putting braids you put one braid in put a a type of oil in there as well to see if you can, can you connect with

Starting point is 01:36:48 hobbits and bears? Thank you, Gary. I don't know. I don't know. I think they'd be pretty fun. Spend four hours on a rooftop. See if you feel the same way. Yeah, I love how you're like, spend five minutes with them. It's fun for 30s.

Starting point is 01:37:04 Yeah, because that's how I felt going into it. I was like, oh, this is going to be a fun. Yeah. What? What? What? You have a hat on. I believe it hats. helping, uh, enabling, uh, uh, bears, cats and dogs.

Starting point is 01:37:21 What? None of that made sense. What? I can imagine your thoughts in that meeting. Oh, you should have heard it. I taught, when you meet Elsa, when you meet Elsa, my attorney, would set that up. We will tell that story.

Starting point is 01:37:38 She should be wearing a dominatrix outfit, but she is not. Thank you, Gary. Thank you, Gary. Can you do other impressions? I never knew you were an impression person. Are you one of those people? Let's see. What else you got?

Starting point is 01:37:55 Yeah, listen. I never knew you were an impression comic. I want you to be quiet for a second. It's not a, it's not about good. It's not about good. It's not about bad. It's about doing. You have to make sure that you're here and you're Kelly and you say,

Starting point is 01:38:09 no, you would not go to Pache. How do you know, how you've been with him? Maybe he discovered this. than years. Okay, what else you got? If you've ever watched Harry Potter. Oh, my God. That's all I got for you.

Starting point is 01:38:23 Just that line. No, I can do the rest of it. No, no, don't. Dumbled it. I take the glasses off. She left them on. It's better for him. Okay.

Starting point is 01:38:32 I'm impressed. I really am impressed, though. Mike D. If you can share what's the rest of you between Ron and Kelly at the present time, that's a great question. Now that Kevin has passed, my imagination is racing. I think it could potentially chance. change, but in my mind, currently, I mean, again, things could change.

Starting point is 01:38:47 I don't think they ever had, Ron and Kelly never had a beef. They always, they always had like, she, she always respected him and she's respected where, where Ron came up from and, and, and was in one. It's still a difficult situation because he's Danny's guy. Right. And, um, I think maybe when she was with Danny, they had a close relationship and now, um, she has to kind of not like him. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 01:39:10 Even though she has a soft spot for him. But I think like, you know, like, you know, I think she struggled with that. $247.9.70. $30 away from $2.48. Look at that. Look at that. $30. Someone joining Christian's class to learn you to. Sam.

Starting point is 01:39:24 Question, what are some tips for writing characters that have different voices rather than making them feel the same or not plausible? I didn't tell you that note that I got. Chris Carr, who's going to be in here in second, she's one of our co-host said that what she loved about the script, she just recently read it. She said that it felt like everybody was a different person and didn't feel like everybody had the same voice.

Starting point is 01:39:42 Love that. and that to me. So what I think trick. I do is I imagine them as people that I know. Yeah. I insane. I give them like their, oh,

Starting point is 01:39:52 this is so-and-so that, you know, I used to work with or I give them all actual, they're actual people in my mind. Yeah. Uh, I agree. Same thing.

Starting point is 01:40:01 Sammy, martini, what's your favorite Julia Roberts movie? That'd be a pretty one, right? No. No? God, such a male favorite movie.

Starting point is 01:40:09 What? Um, well, oh, I, I, I'm a woman. So eat, pray, love. It's so good.

Starting point is 01:40:16 I could watch that one over and over again. I don't know. So aspirational. You should get Chevy Chase for a came. I'm sure he's free. This is Joey Pitchas. Now, from everything you hear about him, as much as I use a comedy,

Starting point is 01:40:25 like, idol of mine, I just, he's scared. I know. Why does he have such bad rap? I mean, everything he's on. He's so good. Yeah. Yeah. Art one must.

Starting point is 01:40:35 You should post a new Kickstarter update and share the link to your 10-hour live stream. Good luck to New Stretch Girls. Who is Chris's manager? Who is Chris? That I don't know what that means. Chris Carr? me? I don't know what that means, I'm sorry as far as the manager.

Starting point is 01:40:48 I think he means Chris, Carr's manager for the Schmodeam. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. I haven't announced that yet. So we're not, we, that one, nice try, but we're not going to announce that. Art one, hey, PLD, can you send screenshot that update suggestions, send that to Craig because that's a good idea.

Starting point is 01:41:11 We should do that now. Okay. Walker, Martini, thank you for letting that poor woman speak her truth. Full disclosure. I thought I was the only one who did that. I did it as a lot of kid the last time was for my daughter about 15 years ago. That's great. My people are in here. Yeah. A lot of weirdos, because is this like a good tribe of weirdos? In a good weirdo way, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's what I mean.

Starting point is 01:41:32 John Burckhard, what is the email to send resumes to? I would say send it to Schmo's contact at gmail.com, please. I am Cahill 76. Hey, Christian, I know you have a soundtrack in mine, but what about a title? title song theme song thanks for all you do that's i mean the i we have a bunch of different ideas and there's things in there that i think that yeah it's a snippet of it there's one particular song that i there's it's a mason jennings song that i think if you would but it's so different now the way shows are done they don't do full song it's it's like maybe 15 seconds if that of like name of the show and we go so yeah this is hilarious abernathy sunday night live i know

Starting point is 01:42:13 area. I like the video. Friday afternoon. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it if you can get in and make fun of himself. That's kind of the idea, right? But in the way that other characters have, like what the late great Bob Sagitt did on Entourage. I love him. Like he was, he went, he was great on that show.

Starting point is 01:42:31 You know, Schmitz, don't worry, it's completely clear that the promo has you as yourselves, not as the characters. What it does show is how much you enjoy working together. That inspires confidence in the project. Yeah, I mean, that was the, to Martini's credit, she was the one that said that we have to, she was Atamaic, at one point I was like, you know, I could just do something from here and shoot something. And she's like, we have to be on screen together. We have to show people that we're having fun doing this. And I was like, okay, she was right. Because we have so much fun together.

Starting point is 01:42:54 We crack up like incessantly. And I'm like, how do you not show our relationship? That just makes no sense. Yeah, 100%. I know she says, when you and Martine are on stage accepting your Emmy awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, we would like a shout out. A thousand percent. Yeah, 100%. Beagle, Catherine McNamara for our show. I like talking to her. She was a lot of fun. Um, dark smirk. Martini reminds me of hanging out with my friends, especially all the silly stuff. It definitely made me excited to see you get together. There you go. It means a lot. I'm so glad. I wish that meeting with friends. I, I, I, that's my vibe. I wish that meeting would be recorded. Yeah, honestly. Which meeting?

Starting point is 01:43:30 The Gary Bucy ones. Oh my God. That is. I don't know. Christian's reenactment is so good. It's pretty incredible. KCG, Christian, have you ever audition for S&L? No, you know, I never did. A lot of my friends did when I was, and I just, and I actually incorporated some of that into the Danny stuff, but I had a different reason for why I didn't, as opposed to why he didn't.

Starting point is 01:43:50 Like, Danny didn't do it and wouldn't do it because he thought it was beneath him, right? I certainly did not feel that way. I just didn't, I just didn't do it. I was focused more on stand-up and doing things, and it's funny because even this class that I, the acting class I took back in the day was during, it was during the stand-up days and I was doing it for about a year or so and I had nothing but great comments from the teachers and everything too there and I I just really pursued the stand-up

Starting point is 01:44:15 element of it and not sketch, not acting. It was it was stand-up. Yeah. I auditioned for Mad TV. I could see that. And then I didn't go back to the callback. You had a callback and you didn't go? Why? I don't know. I was one of those people. I just. Yeah. Okay. I think, you know, at that age, I was so young and I think I was scared of failing. I don't know. I'm not that way now, but no. Yeah, I mean, again, that's very, that sounds Kelly-esque. Does it matter what studio picks up our show?

Starting point is 01:44:47 Is there a studio you'd say no to? Not in my, not currently in my mind. I don't know. I, you know, approach that one day at a time. Mike Dia, a Gary Busey-like person that Danny and Kelly interviews would be hilarious. They'd be like, what the app is going on? interviews off the road. A hundred percent. He's so good.

Starting point is 01:45:05 Yeah. Yeah. This is a great call, too. I'm K.L. 70 says, Jesse Williams from shrinking for Lindsay. She's amazing. And I actually had a chance to meet her a couple times at the Critics Choice Awards. And she's awesome. But I feel like that character in shrinking is a little similar to Lindsay. Yeah. It is. Yeah. I feel like she, I mean, I could be wrong, but I feel like she'd be like, I kind of play that kind of character already.

Starting point is 01:45:28 She's so great. I love her. She's so good. Yeah. Would you do the abuse impression in our show, Johnny Patrice says? I hope so. If it calls for it, absolutely. That's going to be kind of something probably Danny does a lot to. Yeah, to keep to keep.

Starting point is 01:45:44 Like, it might, I think it breaks Kelly. I think that's the one thing that he could, yeah, she loves when he used to do that. And he said, you can't do the Bucy. That's not, that's not fair. That's not nice. Yeah, that's not fair. That one guy with shoes. Hey, dumb question for the chat.

Starting point is 01:45:58 When you pled for the Kickstarter, is there a fee for using the card? No, or is the amount of the pledge how much you charge? That's how much your charge. And you don't get charged until tomorrow when the campaign ends. You won't get charged today. So, like currently where we are, we're at 247, $940, $60 away from $248. So if you guys put in $60, we get to $248, we are $2,000, $2,000. What can you do for $60?

Starting point is 01:46:23 What can you do for this? For a $60 pledge? Let's see. What do you want me to do for $60? Would you sing? Or would lose us money? I don't know. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:46:36 I don't think there's anything I can do. I think most of the things I do will lose us money. Maybe. Yeah, I'm trying to think I can juggle. Oh, yeah, definitely. All right. She'll do a juggling act. That's amazing.

Starting point is 01:46:49 I got to find lemons. All right, we'll do that. Lemons. Okay. This is hilarious. Rob McDonnell. Christian, how many people beat up in the street since Tuesday, be honest?

Starting point is 01:46:58 So this is an ongoing joke on the show from last week. I was I've been in like one of the best moods in quite a while on this show for we're excited about this. We got everything going. And so we said, here's so grouchy lately. And I'm like, what the hell are you talking about? And and then people now have been coming up with I saw Christian kick puppies in the street. There's such a Christian just so this guy have any beat up in the street. Uh, Rob job. You've been grouchy? No, not at all. Penny Barber is. I was really tired after that last 10 hour. That's true for that I was I was, I wasn't grouchy. I was in, I was in, like just in la la land.

Starting point is 01:47:34 Yeah, because we don't bounce back at this age. No, I know. Rob Job, Penny Barber is a cast member plane. I brought this up to me. We were both like, yeah, if we can get an idea of like to where, because she's, she's super, first of all, she's a film connoisseur. And she is, she's really, really, really smart. Like when I was talking to her, like, she's like the shit that she knows.

Starting point is 01:47:55 And I think there could be a fun role down the line for her for sure. but that's we're not that we're not out of the realm that's not out of the realm of possibility i'm not gonna pretend i know who she is she was the adult film star i told you about oh oh yeah and you're like yeah we can't fit that into a storyline like yeah yeah it's hilarious uh satay which show would you would danny have fit the best in living color mad tvs danny dany wouldn't have done any one of them but if he was if he was on any one of them probably mad tv yeah i mean or living color Nothing color is just too old.

Starting point is 01:48:31 He was, it was, yeah, he was, it was, it was done by the time he was coming up. But that's what he trained on. Yeah, but he would get, he would get along more so with the people in living color, I think, than he would in SNL for sure. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But for Kelly, it was so good. Yeah, it was great. Kelly, Cammy and Kelly, obviously has to know.

Starting point is 01:48:52 Joey Peders, I'm assuming that this is going to be single cam. Yes, I have a vibe like the studio in my head. Yes, 100%. Yeah. Goodbye. Goodbye. Dave Marks, no answer to your,

Starting point is 01:49:02 no to answer your question. There's not a fee when you pledge to the Kickstarter. You just put your card how much you want to pledge. And that's it. Yep, that's true. Yeah. Okay.

Starting point is 01:49:11 Carla, I want to recreate the Steven Sagan moment in Clider Live on our show trending. You mean, you mean, I think she means Van Dam. This is even better. So I had, I had Jean-Claude Van Dam on my show. Nice. And look at, Martini 248. Oh,

Starting point is 01:49:28 You go juggle. Go get some lemons. You get lemons? Am I going to get lemons? Yeah, go get some lemons. I'll hold what you get. I'm moving so my house looks. Well, no, don't worry about. I'm going to, I'll do this. You come back and I'll, you don't need to, yeah, leave the camera there. It's fine. But yeah, the Jean-Claude Van Damme, I'm assuming that you meant. It's hilarious. People do get them mixed up, I guess even though they hate each other.

Starting point is 01:49:52 Okay, that's right. There you go. There it is. I don't know, you know what, I want to bring that back from our team. because I don't know who this is. Lisa Gilroy. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, she got that look. She got that look. I'll bring that up to Martini there before I bring it up.

Starting point is 01:50:10 Jessica Williams is great, but younger than I was thinking for Lindsay's characters. Is it okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. That's the other thing is I think Lindsay's a little older. Lindsay's more in like the 248, 155 guys. Now we're pushing. Now we're moving.

Starting point is 01:50:23 Once we get to 250, those 10 exclusive tickets. And, you know, the other thing that we're going to add inside of there, too, is you'll be able to get you. The 10 exclusive tickets will get an interview. You'll be interviewed on camera with Jen Sturge or two. Another thing. Okay, Martini's back. 248. 415 now, Martini.

Starting point is 01:50:43 We are cooking with gas, as the kids don't say. All right, here we go. Okay. I'll give you the wide shot. Hold on. All right. You good? Hold on.

Starting point is 01:50:53 Wait. Oh, PLD. Do we have some music that we can play? I would love to have that. Would it take too long to put the circus? Hold on, I'll give you some music. Hold on. Oh, wait. Hold on. Wait. Let me get some music for your home. Oh, come on. I'm looking for it. Hold on. Wait.

Starting point is 01:51:11 Oh, still not it. Wait, I'm looking for it. Got to find the music. I think I have something. You know, this is only for the money. Oh, yeah, anything good. Hold on. Could I get it? Hey, got nothing here. Hold on. feel you. I don't do like magic.

Starting point is 01:51:31 Yeah, go for it. Perfect. Wow. Oh, real good. Fail. Well, you did okay. Oh, you're back. What a disaster.

Starting point is 01:51:48 That's an absolute nightmare. She's out of frame, folks. You did your best. That's all we can see. I think that music is pretty great. It's how trending will be better than that. I certainly hope so. That was the greatest thing.

Starting point is 01:52:06 That was only because you came through. That was it. That was good. Well, hopefully don't do the thing they did last time. I'm not offering anything else. Last time I had to tell a real personal story and I did and someone pulled their pledge. So that's that way. Stop.

Starting point is 01:52:18 Are you serious? Yeah. All right. Is somebody here? Guys, you guys, that was the most exercise I've had. Yeah. Yeah. Trying to make sure nobody's here.

Starting point is 01:52:31 Okay. You need like a doorbell. Oh, I have, I do, I do. Let's see, large. Sam's going to get me a coffee. It's nice. Sam's the best. My God, I need a Sam in my life.

Starting point is 01:52:44 I know she is great. She'll be out. She's going to be part of this modem. Okay, let's see. So let me get some more questions. Yeah, that's absolutely hilarious. Oh, so this came out. Lisa Gilroy for Zara Glows is what?

Starting point is 01:52:56 Lisa Gilroy. Yeah, I don't know Lisa, but I saw a picture. And I was like, she certainly, I don't, I don't know enough about her, but like, I could see. Let me see. So there. Oh, what is that? What the hell is that? What?

Starting point is 01:53:08 I just brought up stupidest thing. I brought up my live stream as the. Oh, yeah. She's total Zara glows. You're right. 100%. Yeah, let me bring this out there. It is.

Starting point is 01:53:20 So she's right here. Yeah. She's got, she's got that look for sure. But she's Canadian. So she's really. Nice. Yeah, but maybe. Okay.

Starting point is 01:53:32 It's not a bad suggestion. That was a good one. Let's see the next one. I want to cry that when we did already. Yes. So Jessica Williams is great but younger when I was thinking. Definitely. It said John Claude Van Damme.

Starting point is 01:53:42 She changed. Yeah, she did. Jessica Williams is great, but younger. Yeah, yeah. I think Lindsay's closer to our age, if not a little older. I think Lindsay's a little older, yeah, for sure. Yes. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:53:54 Because that's the only person I would, you know, she's got to kick my ass. Yeah. There's, I mean, I definitely. I definitely have people in mind for sure. And then I'm so excited to have that conversation, to show people the conversation I have. Oh, I didn't tell you this, Wendy. I didn't tell you this. I didn't tell you's had a conversation with Wendy O'Brien history.

Starting point is 01:54:10 I tell you this. I can't wait. Tell me. Well, we're going to air it. We're going to air it today. Like, so, yeah, yeah. So I, um, I spoke to her about a half an hour. And she's the coolest.

Starting point is 01:54:22 Awesome. And we and she's, and her answers of why she wanted to do this in the first place should get you even more excited than. we were already excited when we brought her on. So cool. And she just I mean, I know she gets it for someone who did there's always sunny. I mean, it's always sunny in Philadelphia. So she doesn't just get

Starting point is 01:54:38 the show. She gets what we're doing. She gets the, she wants, she's excited to do it because it's outside the norm of the way that she normally has to do things. And she loves that. So. I mean, everything's shifting. I just love what we're doing. And I love that your community is being a part of it because everything is shifting and we're like,

Starting point is 01:54:56 leaving the scene and showing what you can do and I think that's really exciting. Sorry, this is question's hard to answer. How did you meet Riley, Napsock, Brett? How long have you known them and how did you create the Schmo's? Well, the Schmo's question we answered. That was with Martini. As far as-

Starting point is 01:55:09 You started, for Schmozno movie review, for movie reviews, you started to bring guests. You started to bring in. Yeah, we did that. But Ken didn't come into those. No, Ken came in to, I brought him in as the producer of the Shmos no live show when we started doing

Starting point is 01:55:26 the live show. I think you're always in your shows and stand up. Yeah, yeah. Riley and Brett, I met at CPK. Well, no, Riley I met during CPK. Sorry. Riley, I met during working at CPK. Brett, I met at Luna Park.

Starting point is 01:55:43 Yeah, I worked there for the one that, the one in Santa Monica, we opened that store. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah. And then, so that was where I met Riley. And Brett was already, we had known each other since the Luna Park stand-up comedy days.

Starting point is 01:56:00 Got it. Got it. Yeah. What I meant? I've known Brett one outside of like Roka and Kalinowski at all the whole entire crew. I've known, I've known, I've known Brett the longest. Hmm.

Starting point is 01:56:12 Yeah. Armada. Will Danny have a friend like Richard on the show? Maybe. So Richard is, my best impression is actually my friend. Who's this one? What is the picture of that dog? Is that the person?

Starting point is 01:56:25 Maybe it's a great dog. But my impression of my friend Richard is probably my best impression outside of even Gary Busey and Arnold. Okay. Because hey, listen, Martini, I really appreciate what you're doing here. With you coming out and juggling lemons or whatever you're doing and dropping things on a floorless

Starting point is 01:56:41 and remain real disaster, but it's real fun to see. I'm not kidding. I'm learning a whole new side of you. I did not know you're the impression guy. I am so impressed. I really am. You know, yeah, there's a lot of other ones that I've tried. There's like, there's like, There's other ones that I've tried and been working on.

Starting point is 01:56:57 How don't I not notice about you? This is like a whole new thing. I don't know. It's crazy. I am Cahill 76. Christian, I still haven't been able to add on shirts online from the Kickstarter app. Should I just cancel it and see if I can add from the beginning?

Starting point is 01:57:07 I don't know why I can. Thanks. I am Khalil. Thank you, Khalil. Better, better to know. I can be able to,

Starting point is 01:57:13 I think that when you do it, as Craig was saying it, I think you have to do it outside of, because of the shipping aspect, a higher tier. I think so. LJ Films. did working in Hollywood,

Starting point is 01:57:26 WWE help with how to approach writing the show or how to make it. WWE, no, not at all, but like, you know, being out in L.A. because it takes place in L.A., certainly out from our experience, from working there and doing things there. And it essentially has to be with these two characters who have to have this long-story kind of pass. And we both, even though we didn't hit the level of success that they both did, we know people who have hit that level of success and more.

Starting point is 01:57:54 you know, so it was able for us to kind of, and I went to film school too for screenwriting. Yeah, yeah. Martini is a brilliant writer, by the way. She's very, very, very. Same world, but I have fun. You are. And Christian is as well. I mean, but I mean, it's just like, even like I was talking.

Starting point is 01:58:13 What's that? I can't write a man. But we were talking. It's like, that's the beauty is that we both, we just know, we, we have utilized our strengths together. It really is so fun. I mean, with a partner is just so much more fun because you can bring, you know, different voices in,

Starting point is 01:58:30 you know, it really makes a difference. Yeah, Shmitsy, there's a shipping charge to get added to your prejudice of the tier. You select the physical rewards or you choose a physical add-on. Thank you, Mr. Mitzin for letting people know that. R.L. Jensen, I went to a Q&A with Chevy Chase to discuss Christmas vacation. He went on a tangent about a co-star from Caddyshack still owning him money on a drug deal. His wife and Handler had to rein him back in. That was last year.

Starting point is 01:58:52 Is he the new busy? Maybe. You know, the other person that was similar like that was Richard Dreyfus. I was supposed to interview Richard Dreyfus for 30 minutes. I talked to it for two and a half hours. But in a good way? I mean, I was fascinated. I love him.

Starting point is 01:59:08 There's a lot of different things. I love him. Oh, genius. It's great to see. That's someone I would listen to for two hours. Yeah, I was fascinated by it. I did slap you on a place. That's true.

Starting point is 01:59:24 General Jedi Fleetled Edels free music. Littal, needle, need a fleetingle dae that sounds like a great show up in. Yep. That's how about this?

Starting point is 01:59:35 You guys don't keep donating. How about this? Welcome to Tronding. Welcome to Tringing. It's like that's the worst show ever seen. Yeah. All right. So we're starting to get some of our other guests kind of coming in here too.

Starting point is 01:59:50 We won't just throw our pinning out. Talk to some other people. too, but it looks like the alien trend, the trending and alien sneakers are now gone. Only the Schmodeown sneakers love. Thank you, Rob. This one, one one pair left and currently gonna get him. Where were we at? We were at two, shoot, we're over now. We're 248, 415. What? 248, 415. Guys, I'll juggle every, I'll juggle more if you want. So we are just, again, we're less than $2,000 away from opening your second. I think he's going to say it. No, it's too early.

Starting point is 02:00:26 That one guy was shoes. I'm glad I checked my pledge. I thought I was up in my pledge. Apparently, I was losing my previous 40 plus. Thanks, I was able to reselect and commit more. Hopefully no one else is tech challenged. I mean, it definitely happens for sure. I'm tech challenge.

Starting point is 02:00:38 It happens. Carly, did Danny work for The Bachelor also. No, no, he did that. He would never. I had to. I had to. He didn't happen. Danny wouldn't sell his soul.

Starting point is 02:00:46 No, that's, that's true. Mike, what was Martini's motivation to write scripts and what keeps her going to make? you in check what do you mean uh let's see what keeps you making going i don't know what that what he means but i said well let's just go with the first part what was martin's motivation to write scripts in general yeah um i'm i mean i'm a are we going back to like let me think what's my motivation i'm a storyteller um my stand-up was always stories i'm still like i love stories and i love finding humor in um humanity and life and pain and so i love writing because you

Starting point is 02:01:22 I had a bit of a crazy childhood. So I think it comes from that. Are we going deep? No, I'm going to do that deep. That's right. This is the last one. So we're bringing it. I want to introduce you guys.

Starting point is 02:01:31 I haven't had coffee. I need more coffee. I want to introduce you some of our, some of our Schmo's crew and, oh, Shmo's crew. We've got to say, that's where my head is.

Starting point is 02:01:38 So some of our regular show crew here in just a second. But Maddie B, how did you even get hired by a writer Christian? Did you just apply? So I had a friend of mine, well, how did that come about? So I think that initially,

Starting point is 02:01:52 I had heard about it. And I told, I told this story a couple of a thousand different times, but I went to WrestleMania 17, and I'll give the abridged version of this thing. And I went there because my friend, his girlfriend at the time, worked for WWB

Starting point is 02:02:08 in like the accounting type area. So she had gotten us tickets to WrestleMania 17. So we drove from L.A. to Houston and we stayed at the hotel there. She got us a room. We sat there. And we went to the bar downstairs at the hotel room. What are there? 2000

Starting point is 02:02:23 1. Oh wow. Okay. Right? Yeah. So, and then the story essentially,

Starting point is 02:02:31 so Paul Heyman, who's a legendary figure in wrestling, he was at the bar, and then there were all these wrestlers at the bar. And everyone beeline to talk to the wrestlers.

Starting point is 02:02:41 I made a B-line to talk to Paul Heyman. And I said to Paul Heyman, I said, Paul, how do you become, I said, I know most people will come up to you and say,

Starting point is 02:02:48 how do you become a wrestler? How do you become a writer? And he says, write a letter. He said, I did that. Just write another one. He said, okay, thank you for the advice. And so I went back, and this is the days when you can still mail and send people letters. I got everybody's address from my friend's girlfriend, as far as where they were, who the names were.

Starting point is 02:03:11 And I wrote a big letter. Freed actually helped me conduct the initial letter. What how funny. Sent it to everybody. and I kept sending, kept sending, kept sending examples and examples and examples. And finally I got an email back from Stephanie Mann's office. It was like the Shawshank Redemption when you keep sending in things. They're like, stop sending letters, just come in and have an interview.

Starting point is 02:03:32 And they flew me out for an interview. And then I got the gig. It's such a story to prove that like anything is possible. Yeah. Look at that. Yeah. Closer and closer to those tickets. But I want to introduce you to some of our peeps that we do here on the show.

Starting point is 02:03:49 I don't think you've ever met. I know that you might have met, have you ever met Winston? Yes, I did stand up for your show with Winston. Oh, you did, yes. Winston. I thought out of the, I thought of the three of them, Winston was one of you definitely met. Is he coming out?

Starting point is 02:04:05 Winston, Chris Carr. And then, as I mentioned before with Brett, I've known Brett long, but not as long. I think everyone that I've known the longest, I think I've know John Roker the longest. I've known John Rokas since since college like early he's like one of the few people at theater school that wasn't a turd to me like he was he was he was he was my people are turds no the theater people that at my school they were like that a lot

Starting point is 02:04:31 and John will tell you the same thing a lot of them carried themselves like that they were better than than the next person and uh John was never like that John was John and I was John and I was always bullshit yeah and he was like he was like an army vet and he was a And I just had a, like, a good rapport with him. And he's still, and he's like, speaking of Schmodeon, he's one of our, he was, like, the Hulk Hogan of Schmodown, just as racist. No, I'm just kidding. But he's, but he's, as far as, as far as a competitor went, he was like the guy who kind

Starting point is 02:04:59 took Schmo down to that next level. So, and Chris Carr was the one I just told you about where she, um, read the script and said that we wrote, that's what she liked about is that you could tell everybody had like different voices. Oh, I love that. And so I'm going to bring in all three. Winston A. Marshall. Winston A. Marshall.

Starting point is 02:05:20 He told us there was an S&S. Throwback. I got to bring it out, me. There you go. Oh, dang. Chris Carr is here. And then the outlaw. John Roke. Hello, everyone. So we got everybody here.

Starting point is 02:05:33 So I wanted to introduce you guys because I don't, I mean, outside of Winston, Chris, you've never met Martini yet. And here you go. Nice to meet you. Oh, my God. You guys are all. also legit with your mics and stuff. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 02:05:48 What's that mean? Just wait until Kalanowski gets here. That'll go away real quick. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. So, yeah, John, would you agree? There were a lot of theory of people who thought that they already hit it big in that school. Yeah, but they were like, you know, 18, 19. You know how you are when you're 18, 19, 20.

Starting point is 02:06:04 You kind of have to believe that about yourself to make it in that. Yeah, really, it's a tough business. But, yeah, I was seven years older than everybody else because I came back from having served in the military and so it was a different approach but yeah you were one of the real ones which is why we got on and hung out you didn't take that crap too seriously so yeah never no and i still don't it's true not like Winston who's out here trying to quote shakespeare all the time all i'm saying is it now makes it makes perfectly logical sense that christian has been hanging out with one of jesus's disciples this entire yeah yeah you know what older than him that makes

Starting point is 02:06:39 total sense yeah i didn't doubt him i know he came back We have another, we have another host in here that I will bring in just a second once they return from where they are. But we have, yeah, this is like a totally, this is, this is, this is the, this is going to be the biggest portion of our show. So everybody knows right now where we currently are. We are at 248,430, looking to hit that 250. Once we hit 250, John, and I got to talk about what you need to do for money because I juggled. Yeah, she did juggle. But I want to, but I also, well, you know, it's funny.

Starting point is 02:07:13 I got some balls like a juggle. Yes. John, you're better than that. You better than that. I'm sorry, Chris. John, stop trying to audition for the show right now. You're fucking kidding. You're exactly like all those other kids.

Starting point is 02:07:26 I can't believe I have to audition. I should go straight to producers. I know the person who made it. I can't believe this. Somebody. Somebody who I've talked about. Actually, I asked this question today. And I would tell this person,

Starting point is 02:07:38 off air or on air this thing. When it comes to people that I can call and talk to and maybe whether it's not necessarily talk me off alleged, but maybe saying someone who knows me well enough creatively and gives me great advice and someone I call for advice quite often. And it's nice to you to say about me. No, no, it's definitely not you. But it's significantly younger and wise and people lover.

Starting point is 02:08:08 Wow. Not younger than Martini. I'm saying younger than me. Oh, no. Everyone's younger than me. Maroxi Streyer is here, everybody. Hi. Roxy gave us, like, phenomenal notes,

Starting point is 02:08:18 Martini up top of those, you know, and it was great to have, like, we needed that idea of the, you know, to have the millennial kind of notes, too, because you do two Gen X people were writing this thing, like, what's the real and what isn't? So, rocks, we're almost at $2.50. Well, I feel like when I'm here,

Starting point is 02:08:35 we raise a ton of money, so I'm expecting nothing else. It's very far. No, and crazy stuff, too, happens. When Roxy's been on here, we hit, I think we hit, when Roxy was on, we hit the 200, which we in the seven days. And then when Roxy was on last, we announced that we hit the two, 220 and over, then we announced Kevin Pollack on the show in Rocks. So we've had some good luck. Good. That was cool. Yeah. And we also have, um, you're saying she doesn't need to juggle. Uh, no, she doesn't. We would you like to juggle in front of everybody again?

Starting point is 02:09:05 No, I'm out. Bye. Right. Martini, we are going to let you go, but I just wanted to just have you here with everybody. and it was awesome to have you. And you're coming back in later on with, with Freed at the end. I am. All right. Martini Paratro, everybody.

Starting point is 02:09:17 Thank you, Martini. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. All right. So it's great to have her on board. But this is very old school. Look at this. We haven't done a,

Starting point is 02:09:25 we haven't done a show like this with everybody here. And, like, bro. It's the old roadcaster. It's just loaded in here, man. It's everything. You want drunk, Brett, what you want? I'll be R.B3 this episode. Somebody says Bob Dylan's singing,

Starting point is 02:09:39 uh, fleetle d'edle. Do you have, do you have, do you have the, doing on there? Yeah, let's see. That's a movie. Yeah. Oh, wow.

Starting point is 02:09:49 I watched a movie, yeah, it was the other day. I got to figure out how I'm going to say. He was starring that actor. You know him here he was Don Chiebel. But it was a little movie called. That's right. Say it again. Come on, Bose.

Starting point is 02:10:15 that's all I got that's old school that's old school right there um so you guys ever on the show together any of you guys uh sometimes

Starting point is 02:10:27 yeah oh yeah we used to our main show our main show right John like John's usually on by himself you're usually on with Mike we used to have

Starting point is 02:10:37 the Friday show used to be Chris and Winston's but Chris is on Thursdays now and Winston's Friday yeah and Winston I've been here I haven't done anything with you Roxy since Christian lived here. And that was only twice. Oh, I thought once.

Starting point is 02:10:51 That's what I've been saying. I think we did one show together. We did two. I think maybe. Maybe. Maybe. But Winston, tomorrow we're going to, I think we're going to bring the Schmobot in. Oh, shit.

Starting point is 02:11:02 Hold on. I think I got that too. Oh, my God. No, no. No, no, no. Schmobot is something. That's the, that's when the robot was turned on, bro. Oh, okay, okay.

Starting point is 02:11:15 Okay, okay. Like I said, I got all the old stuff, what? You want, you want to do. No, no. Why do you have any of this? Well, because I, I bought this old roadcast. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Here's one. Nathan Drake already has one for Roka. Roga, who's the worst manager with the challenges in the Schmoe down says Nathan Drake?

Starting point is 02:11:34 Who's the worst manager with the, what do you mean? Like, issuing the challenges? Who you knew, who you knew, like, was just going to throw challenges out there and be a pain in the ass as a manager. Sam Levine, of course. Oh, he is. It's true because he was a manager, yeah. He's a pain in the ass over. I mean, so much of a pain in the ass,

Starting point is 02:11:48 you're giving him two slots today. Wow. Could you kiss his ass even more? He's not kidding. I mean, Jesus. Yeah. Has he not said anything to you about Kevin Pollock yet? No, not yet.

Starting point is 02:11:58 No. Maybe. Is there more? 248, 470 is where we're at right now. Nice. Amazing. So I think what we'll do is, and I think, Luke, did you, I didn't even look. PLD, did, did he send me any stories today?

Starting point is 02:12:13 because we should cover some stories while we're while we're here because I know Kevin Kevin's going to come in. I think Kevin's coming in. Nice. And we're going to be doing, let's see, you're coming in. You did. You sent your stories. Okay, he did. All right.

Starting point is 02:12:26 Let me get the stories. You know, Roxy. Can you just for one second? Roka, did you see Clayface? Yeah, you know what? You guys got about that. I'm going to pee. I'm going to pee real quick.

Starting point is 02:12:35 Oh, you're seeing it tonight? Tonight. Yeah, yeah, because they didn't screen it down here in San Diego. A lot, W.B didn't screen in a lot of cities that they usually screen there. films in so it was pretty surprising so I'm out to go see it uh this afternoon Winston chris you guys see it not yet are you guys gonna go see it or no eventually yes it's either gonna be a tonight or a tomorrow thing but I leave from Mexico have you so I'm not yeah I saw it and how'd you think um I thought it was good it was solid okay it is I think that like it I can't imagine and I know

Starting point is 02:13:09 people are, but feeling like super, like this is the greatest ever or shredding this. I think there's like a lot of really good solid stuff going on. Really cool body horror stuff. Some very corny lines. And I actually haven't even talked about it on air anywhere yet, but we're, I guess it's out today, right? Yeah. Yeah, it's out today. So yeah, some of it. I'm curious me when you guys see it. maybe we should all jump on and chat together again because it's like some of it I was like is that a little blurry are we a little out of focus like is that a lot is that an a d r moment what like there was some things like that but in general the actual story was really good the performances were really good so yeah I'm into it I would watch it again and again like I put it in my October rotation it was fun did you buy the chemistry between the guy and oh god what's the actresses name who plays Naomi um Naomi, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't want to answer that without giving spoilers.

Starting point is 02:14:15 Okay. Okay. Yeah. I was not on the same page as some other people about that. Okay. All right. Fair point. You know what I was actually surprised about was hearing that you apparently did not like Street Fighter.

Starting point is 02:14:30 Yeah. What's that all about? You try to like everything. That was the good. I go into everything like really. like really try being positive a positive polly um whoa guys

Starting point is 02:14:45 I had a hard time in that movie I was like what the fuck is happening yeah but did you play street fighter I did I didn't know one thing that was going on I was like who are all you motherfuckers like that make that that by the sense they didn't decide we don't care about Roxy at all we are not going to

Starting point is 02:15:04 get up Roxy yeah did you do so Wait, did everybody say that they, as far as Clay Face goes, who's, who's seen it? It was just me and you, Christian. And I watched your out of theater reaction. Are you on board with me or are you in the other side? Totally on the same side of you.

Starting point is 02:15:18 I thought it was fun, didn't think it was excellent. No. Would watch it again. Yeah. John, you know what reminded me up when I saw it. It was like, it's definitely had like, I feel like John's the only one as old as me to understand this reference. But like there, it definitely had the where everyone else would, the fly versus

Starting point is 02:15:34 dark man, that's whatever I've been saying. But what it reminded me. of us, you know when you would like find a movie that was really never going to be in the theater or if it was, it was maybe out for a couple of days, but like, Dolf Lungren's the Punisher. Yeah. You know how like, you know how like it was just a fun movie to watch and like it's never going to be one of these movies that everyone talks about. But there's just some moment you're like, I just like watching this movie. And, and it was one of the things where like I had, I gave it, I gave it like just around a three out of five, right, out of it. Because I, I, I, I, it,

Starting point is 02:16:08 knew what it wanted to be. I thought he was really good. And it was so, and I said to people during the review, I go, for the, I said, I don't think that people outside of those who really want to see Clayface, which is probably doesn't set well for the movie, are going to really dig this movie. Because I think that it, I think, not that I think it's inside baseball. I think it might come off cheesy to people. But I think for people who are expecting a Clayface movie, I think that they do a good job of it.

Starting point is 02:16:37 I think that. the positive views have really focused on the body horror and Roxie was referencing that as well. So there's, you know, if it gets into the horror movie crowd, it could do well. I hope so. John, you know who liked it? Who was Dorina. Derina was at my screening. I saw her tweet.

Starting point is 02:16:55 I saw her tweet. She was very positive about it. So that bodes well for the horror community. Yeah. She's a big horror person. Bibbs is a big horror person. He liked it as well. He liked it too?

Starting point is 02:17:05 Yeah. Okay. For this half of the panel that doesn't fuck with horror at all. I think you as will struggle. Well, I don't think Winston will. I don't think Winston will. I think Chris, I don't think this is the movie's for Chris because I think. I'm not going to see it.

Starting point is 02:17:19 I've been told I'm not allowed to see this until I have an adult to prove it. That's what it is. It's not a matter. It's not a matter that I don't think Chris would like the story. There's just a lot of. Violent. Yeah, there's a lot of things Chris will not be able to handle. That doesn't bother Winston.

Starting point is 02:17:33 Winston doesn't F with like the scary shit. It's not scary. Yeah. Oh, so body horror is not a problem for you, Winston? No, I don't get fun. Nah. Winssel will be fine. I'm not, I actually kind of laugh at that shit. I'm like, yo, that's gross. I don't make no sense. But for Winston?

Starting point is 02:17:47 Nah, because that's not what scares him. The first act you don't think he's going to have a hard time with? Nah, not for, not for him. Winston, I would like a text message to me and Christian on the first act of this movie. Yeah, you're going to think it's gross. It's disgusting. Not just gross, man. It's messed up. It's messed up. But there's no, but there's, but like, Chris Carwell. have nightmares for three years.

Starting point is 02:18:09 For my life. I'll yak in the theater. I'll keep on the person in front of me. I hear the plan scene that they tease in the trailer is like even more insane in the It's insane. The plan scene's great and the club scenes. The crew couldn't watch it when they made it. Yeah, the club scene's amazing by the way. Who couldn't watch it?

Starting point is 02:18:26 On the plane scene, an article was saying that the crew, a whole bunch of them were like, we can't watch this while they were doing it on set. So that just doesn't bode well for something with my wood. That is not. Yeah. Winston's more of the supernatural stuff. You're like Sadie. See,

Starting point is 02:18:41 he doesn't like, although you know what, Sadie and I started watching yesterday that she loves is Crystal Lake. Yeah, Crystal Lake was, I loved Crystal Lake. Two episodes so far. I think it gets better and better, Christian. The last,

Starting point is 02:18:54 the seventh episode was my favorite. Okay. It was very good. I love Crystal. Yeah, and I'm almost done with Carrie. Carrie was fine. It was good. What are you guys thinking about with,

Starting point is 02:19:03 I just finished two episodes of two more episodes. a vision quest. I think they're doing a great job personally. I've seen I've seen the whole series so I don't want to opine too much. I loved it. I just love the series. Why is it not my jam? What? Hey, Roxy, how we're so connected right now? I don't like vision. I know. So we're not hanging out enough. It's not that I don't like it.

Starting point is 02:19:26 It's that I don't care about it. Oh, wow. When I'm watching it, I, so I'm four episodes in, which means I'm caught up with the normies, myself being a normie. And I'm only caught up because I have to cover it for shows. Otherwise, I think I would be behind. And because I don't care. It's well done. It's a very well done show.

Starting point is 02:19:49 I'm not going to sit here and say it's not a well done show. It's well performed. It looks good. Did you like Wanda Vision? Did you like Agatha all the long or no? I wanted my favorite character in the MCU and I did not like Wanda Vision. Oh, wow. Okay.

Starting point is 02:20:02 Maybe it's just this style. I think it might be this style. I like Agatha all along back half significantly better. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. It's just when I'm watching it, I'm like, I'm not what, what are you guys really caring about? Like, what's gripping you? I mean, the acting, the, the actual like themes of storywise, of parent, like literally the parent and child relationship.

Starting point is 02:20:27 So the relationship between Ultron and Vision and then. Yeah. James Spater is like next level. He's so good. He's so good. He's so good. He's so good. the show, running away with the show.

Starting point is 02:20:37 For me, it's about the identity stuff. Like, who am I? Who am I really? And, you know, the idea of figuring out, you know, like the metamorphosis, the change, like there's a piece of me that thinks this and there's a piece of me that feels this way. How do I figure out who the hell I really am and what I'm about and where I'm going next? So it's like all three of these shows have been about the transition from the beginning of who they are to what they become at the end. and I think that's what grabs me about the shows.

Starting point is 02:21:07 And, of course, the acting. Because I bet, I think Bettney, people forget how great he is. So good. He's amazing. And he is so good in this show. Yeah, you know what I like about, Rossi, what I really dig about it is the fact, like, I love the way that they set up the world of where they're in because I was nervous what they were going to do, is just try to do what they did in Wanda Vision, where it's going to start out and you're going to get right into,

Starting point is 02:21:27 oh, are they in this fake world or whatever it's too? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The way that they explain and where vision is with these other AI characters and how they put it all together. And I really think they do a great job, at least four episodes in, is connecting the overall MCU together.

Starting point is 02:21:45 That's what I really like about it. And I think, and it might be because I'm really high on 12 monkeys right now. Todd Stashwick's fucking amazing. He's great. I can't remember her actress, but the woman from Schitt's Creek who's also in 12 Monkeys play.

Starting point is 02:22:01 Yeah, she's amazing. too. She's grading in it. Wait, Chris Carr, what was with the shit-eating grin when we said Todd Stashwick was amazing? He's not doing it for me in this show. Oh, wow. You don't like him as talent? He's the one thing in this show I'm not crazy about, which I also... I'm going to agree with you.

Starting point is 02:22:16 I'm going to agree with you, but he gets better. I think it's the writing. I don't think it's... Oh, I love him in this. I think he's not believable as a ruthless killer at all. Yeah, that's right about when I'm like, you're a scam. Like, what are you doing? Why are you here being assassin? I'm also two episodes behind, though, because yesterday Oh, okay.

Starting point is 02:22:32 Coach and then I saw MCR last night at the Hollywood. Okay, okay. Which was amazing. But yeah, I think the first two episodes. In the three and four, I think that you'll, especially in three, I think you'll be like, oh, okay, no, I get why he was cast. Yes, that's where the turn begins, where he becomes more interesting as a character. I agree with that.

Starting point is 02:22:49 Man, I want to be where you guys are. And three and four were better than one and two for me. And maybe this is just going to keep trending in the right direction. I just, it's on the bottom. I'm watching more shit right now than I've. ever watched in my entire life. And when I have to put on Vision Quest, I'm like, here we go.

Starting point is 02:23:08 Like, I just don't fucking feel like it. It gets, it gets more expansive. And once they bring Jacosta in, which is not a spoiler, they've been teasing that in the trailers, it really goes like into some interesting places. And so I'll be curious to see how you feel about as it goes along with. See what you're describing,

Starting point is 02:23:26 Roxy, is how I felt about House of the Dragon. I got one and a half episodes into this last season. I said, no, I'm good, and I bailed. Wow. I've bailed on that, too. It doesn't do it for me. Which, which they, the problem was is that you fully had me because of Game of Thrones

Starting point is 02:23:43 going into season one. And I left it going, that was pretty good. Then you get to season two. And by the time we got to the end of it, I was like, so wait a minute, you're going to leave in the middle of a story, not on like a proper season to season cliffhanger, as in like the next episode should be tomorrow. And then you're going to make me wait a couple of years. I was like, and then I got back in, I can remember half the shit.

Starting point is 02:24:01 I was like, I'm good. Huh. I hear you. People have different tastes. Isn't that wild? Yes. Who knew art could be subjected? Who knew?

Starting point is 02:24:13 And that you don't have to hate each other. If somebody. That would be nice. Fuck you, God. I'm like, literally kill yourself. Even, oh. I don't even refer. I don't even know if Winston knows what he just referenced.

Starting point is 02:24:29 So we're just going to let that. I didn't hear myself. I didn't hear that. Totally not touching that. I genuinely didn't hear myself. We're going to skip over that. I have something to talk about. Roxy, move us on.

Starting point is 02:24:38 Here we go. This is to Chris Carr, because I don't know that you know this, and everybody will find this story funny. For anybody who watches typically on Tuesdays, one time Christian didn't show up, and Mikey and I were doing a show. And Mike and I just really go off the rails,

Starting point is 02:24:51 as you guys can imagine. We both said that there are somebody in our community, like our extended community, that he will not go live with. He will not do a show with. And I have somebody that I will, not do a show with. Oh, and I think it's me.

Starting point is 02:25:04 And for Mike, everybody thinks yours is Mike, which it's not because he texted me who it was, but that's so fucking funny now that we have made this fake beef with you and Mike. And then we had to go on air the next week. All the comments were like, Mike doesn't like Chris. Why doesn't Mike like Chris? Like they just completely made it up. And so then the next week I told them that the comments were saying that. He was like, what?

Starting point is 02:25:24 Why would it be Chris? So, but I think it should feed into it. But there was one episode we did together where I found out he didn't like the Muppets. And I was just like, oh, I finally, we finally have something we don't agree on. And the internet ran with it of like, that's like Chris's whole personality. He must hate her. I like PLD saying that is why Mike's not on today.

Starting point is 02:25:45 Yeah, that's what he said. He was like, I just cannot. He's like, I can't stand Chris Clark, which you know what? Fair. Wait, you guys agree. Let's go, let's go back to the reason. I thought Mike hated me. Finish your ones.

Starting point is 02:25:55 Sorry, finish your point. No, no, I just thought Mike actually hated me. Like, real time. No, it's not you either. I hope. Well, we've been on a show together, so I hope we're okay. Mike and I both went on a 20-minute rant on how much we love hosting with Eroca, so it's not you either. Okay, that's very kind.

Starting point is 02:26:12 His is a woman. Oh. And it is not Chris. Is it in our sphere? When I say in our sphere, I mean our 250 person sphere. Like, I don't mean in our 10-person sphere. I have a guess. I'm not going to share anything else.

Starting point is 02:26:30 say it, but I'm a... Wait, no, no, I guess, but I thought it was going to be a man. Wait, yeah, wait, hold on. Mine was a woman. I think his is a man. I'm actually trying to remember who it was in this moment. Not that it's predominantly a male's face. Yeah, no, I think he's might be a man. I actually don't even remember in this moment. That's how not important these things are to me. And like, this is why you know I'm never

Starting point is 02:26:55 gossiping about anybody. I can't remember the shit you guys tell me. I can't remember anything he said to me. That's good. plausible deniability is always good. I don't know that there's anyone I would never do a show. I love the challenge of doing a show with anybody. Whether I agree with them or not, whether I like them or not. I don't know

Starting point is 02:27:13 So there's nobody though that you, I would do a show with this person. I don't want to. Is there anybody that you're like, I do not want to host with this person? You don't say who. Jeff Snyder, but then I got over it and we host a show now because Jeff is like writing a hurricane on top of a wild

Starting point is 02:27:29 Tasmania devil for God's sakes. So yeah. There are days where I go, I'm going to end the show. I'm done. I'm not going to do the show anymore. I'm not. And then we do something. Oh, Johnny, I absolutely would do a show with that clown.

Starting point is 02:27:41 I absolutely. Line it up. I would love to do a show with that guy, Johnny. Who's Matt? I would love to. Where is Smith? Do we kick him off? I think he's working.

Starting point is 02:27:54 Yeah, I just don't think he was available right now. He is coming soon. No one asked you. Get out of here. I'm telling you. Wait, PLD, do you remember who Mike wouldn't do the show with? I do. Okay, can you text it to me so that I can remember?

Starting point is 02:28:10 So she doesn't say the one thing. Because I was like, it's a woman. And then I was like, I don't think his is a woman. That's not a woman. That's a man, baby. That's a man, baby. I don't remember who the fuck it was now. I'm trying to.

Starting point is 02:28:27 I need it. Sasha, man. I miss Sasha. I tweeted that out the other day. I missed Sasha for a raver in our space. I saw her at a screening recently. She was the best. I love her.

Starting point is 02:28:35 Love, love, love. I do too. She was great. I hadn't seen her in a long time. So, Chris, what's your response to Mike? Oh, wait, sorry, I just got the text message. It was a woman. I was correct.

Starting point is 02:28:49 It was a woman. For a dollar. Name a woman. Name a woman. Name a woman. Billy on the street. Name a woman. Name a woman.

Starting point is 02:28:59 Oh, that's so good. Very good. Now I want to know. Somebody texts me. This is bullshit. Yeah. Oh, I'm so excited to now remember that. Well, I didn't remember.

Starting point is 02:29:12 I had to get texted it. Yeah, it's Wonder Woman. It's Wonder Woman. Yeah. No. I don't actually even know if any of the three of you guys know who this person is. This is such like a. Okay.

Starting point is 02:29:27 This is such like a deep cut. I love the guesses. Yeah, me too. He definitely would do shows with AI sluts. What are you guys talking about? I'm sure. 100%. Have you guys ever seen his

Starting point is 02:29:41 interviews with Penny Barber? Okay, so that was my question. So he did ultimately, he did end up meeting her. Oh, he did. Like via the show. Like not in person, but he met her via the show. Congratulations. He just left him.

Starting point is 02:29:54 He was like, here you go. Oh, dude. That was the, last stream, right? So the last bit of the last stream, yeah, Christian like teed him up to interview her. And at first

Starting point is 02:30:07 my dialogue with Christian, I actually can find this for you guys. I will read to you guys what I was texting Christian while Mike was interviewing Penny Barber. I was so fucking nervous for him. Okay. So first, this is what I text Christian

Starting point is 02:30:23 because he couldn't see me. This was my face. I was freaking the fuck out I then said Oh my God I am dying Ask a question Mike please oh my god Is he still talking? Oh my god Okay good for her good for her

Starting point is 02:30:40 Peter yes we know I don't know what that's about wait now I'm proud of him I'm actually really proud of him go Mike go And then I said what divorce who is he talking about Is this other porn stars And that was the full my full stream of conscience That's amazing How many times do you think Christian responded to me during my, my, uh, spiral, zero, full zero.

Starting point is 02:31:03 The fact that we all immediately threw up zeros is fucking hilarious. He saw me spiral. He was like spiral on, kid. Sorry. On cue. Oh, they thought you were taking a shit, but you were just eating. I was eating. I was eating and I was actually, I was actually working on, um, I'm putting up my vision quest, uh, reaction to. So a lot of different things I had to do.

Starting point is 02:31:26 in the course of 15 minutes. By the way, Emily Hampshire is the woman you were thinking of the actress from Schitts Creek. She is great. I've never seen Schitt's Creek. It's not my, actually, I've seen two episodes. I've seen two episodes of Shits Creek, not my jam. I'll tell you this, Roca. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:31:45 It is not fully my jam, but I do love the show. So what I would say is, did you watch the very beginning or you watched two random episodes? No. I watched the first two episodes. Yeah, yeah. So let me do you a favor. I will pull two episodes that are considered some of the better ones that I love because I agree with you.

Starting point is 02:32:03 It's not fully my jam either, but I actually do like the show. But I don't, I don't like go back and revisit it a million times that people will do with the sitcom that they like. But I'll pull two episodes for you that I think will make you go, you know what? I'll give it a shot. Okay. Because I feel that way, what was the one? There was something else recently with people. Oh, White Lotus.

Starting point is 02:32:22 I could give two shits. Like I try to watch that show. And I'm like, I don't give a fuck what Rich. white people go through. I hate that show so much, John. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The first couple seasons, I was like, am I just dumb? Why does everyone love this? What the fuck? I hate everyone. I'm also, guys, sorry, I'm trying to look at some news that if there's any that Luke gave us. He gave us some. And I'm going to see if there's anything that we can discuss here today. But an update for people so they know, we're currently at 248.5. 10. We are less than 500 away from 249, just a little less than 1,500 away.

Starting point is 02:33:03 So now we've built up a little more. Now we're 248-5-35. So this is for everybody here because everybody here will be involved in the Schmodeon aspect of this. What you guys, I don't know if you know this or not yet, but we announced this. We were looking for, you know, because we unlocked the Schmodown tournament. That we unlocked. And then my main question was, well, where are we going to film it? We have a location.

Starting point is 02:33:26 We're going to be filming at the rendezvous restaurant. And it is going to be for potentially two days, maybe three days, but potentially two days to where you knock out the tournament itself. We're going to have the restaurant's going to be open to us. The bar is going to be open to us. We're going to be able to, for competitors, we're able to have tables and eat, do all that stuff too. And we're going to, if we hit 250, we're going to open up 10 exclusive tickets for the audience to be able to get those which we'll have behind the scenes. stuff, you'll be able to get pictures with the competitors.

Starting point is 02:33:58 We'll do a little, fun little interview with Jen Sturger that they'll be on camera to do, so it'll be a lot of... Wait, wait. Are you saying the audience will be able to these six people will be able to eat with us in the same table? Is that what you're trying to... Here comes to the heel. I don't know. I don't know about that. I'm not taking pictures

Starting point is 02:34:14 with nobody. You're going to eat... You're going to eat spinach chip with somebody. I'm glad you're feeding people. Winston will be happy. My question, though, for you is Christian, is... Are we going to get managers? Are we going to get managers? If you choose, I thought that the outlaw would want to go in by himself.

Starting point is 02:34:33 There is a legendary pairing that never happened. I know, but don't mention it. So I have my own tier that I need to hit, and I already hit it to ask this person to be my manager. So if that gets allowed. All right, how about this? We're going to have a conversation. No, no, don't put me on. Two swallow speak.

Starting point is 02:34:55 I can't. Because we might need to use this footage. I know. How about this? How about this, Roka? How about if we hit 251? I love the social media guru. Well, I'm just thinking about this.

Starting point is 02:35:06 How about this? How about it? What if we hit 251 that will pair you up with that manager? No, don't whore me out. Don't whore me out. Get the hell out of here. What are you here for the first place? We'll figure it out.

Starting point is 02:35:18 And get the hell out of you. How long you are a hole. I will treat you as such. Get out of here. Take your money and go. Take your money and go. 100%. Okay, listen.

Starting point is 02:35:29 So let's get some of these stories, but just for everybody knows, that's what I wanted to tell everybody about it. When we hit to 250, when we hit that 250, those tickets will be open up for people to actually come and check it out. Hopefully that the the Shmoudan audience knows this because when they are opened up, then people are going to, it's going to go pretty fast. So, yeah. Let's see if we can get to some of these topics because then we're going to,

Starting point is 02:35:56 oh, you know what I'm going to do first before we even do that, guys, because we do have our two sponsors today that I want to tell people about. So I might as well do it here. I want to tell you about Warby Parker, tell you about Rouguette. Tell you about both. You're dirty, dirty animals. Oh, okay, I guess so. I guess that's appropriate.

Starting point is 02:36:13 Thank you to our great sponsors over at Warby Parker and Rougiette. And for everybody who's wondering, look at that. 248, 935, we're close. We might hit that 250 at Roxy on here. She's the good luck charm when it comes to this stuff. Can we do it? We shall see. All right, let's bring everybody back in.

Starting point is 02:36:33 Let's get this out and about. There's John. There's everybody. What a crew we have here today. I'm liking it. And I especially like the fact that everybody's getting bonuses except Mike Kellanowski. That makes me happy. So let's see.

Starting point is 02:36:51 We have, you know, I was thinking we could do a story, but the problem is, I think, Smetsey's coming in a second. We're going to play these. He, Taylor made these games to you guys. So, amount in 20. That's all right.

Starting point is 02:37:03 Take it easy. Don't brush. Okay. So 20% less bonus. That's right. Okay, so quick question. Rockies out early too. If I,

Starting point is 02:37:11 because I think most of you that go to screenings have seen pretty much all of this right now. If I only have time to go see, you can see everything Wicker and Clayface before I leave this weekend. Which one should I go see? I don't even know what that first movie is. You can see everything is crazy.

Starting point is 02:37:29 You see Elizabeth Homestock? Wait, do you say Wicker? Yeah. I don't know what Wicker is. What's that? Oh, Wicker is. That's the one where Olivia Coleman has sex with a ratatine chair. Never heard of that until about three seconds. She said she has sex with a scarecrow. Yeah. Yeah. What I'm going to guess from what Roxy and everybody else would say

Starting point is 02:37:45 to see the documentary if you have four hours to spare right three yeah yeah yeah it's wild everything i've heard and people have been loving the movie like crazy especially you because you like surprises like i think you'll when the when the twist happens you'll be like what you know well listen i mentioned brand we have a uh look our crew we're a really solid crew yeah mike's not coming in here today but if we hit 300 k today in some point in the stream my count Olenowski and Kevin Smets are going to go at it again. Hey. And speak of the devil.

Starting point is 02:38:21 And the devil shall appear. He is the current movie trivia Shmodeon. Hi, everyone. The devil. Oh, it's not like the narrow thing. So I got to make sure my room's not a mess. Okay. I think I don't think I mean, let's say do it like that.

Starting point is 02:38:35 That's the problem when that happens. Oh, no, no. We got to do it. Chris, Roxy, you guys look lovely. Winston, you look absolutely lovely as well. Luke appealed to get us. back you as always Roka, you look, you look good.

Starting point is 02:38:48 What's this nonsense that you get to keep the belt in perpetuity? What is this nonsense you've created? Are you telling, are you talking about? Nonsense. Are you telling me? What nonsense are you talking about? Hold on. You does not still have the IG belt. Everything has been vacated.

Starting point is 02:39:01 Everybody's back to zero. Do you run? And let's find this thing. Who runs this? This isn't the genre. You know what that sounds like, that sounds like somebody who's skirt. I'm going to, it sounds like somebody who just didn't have what it takes to go out on top.

Starting point is 02:39:15 Roka, read it, buddy. 15,24 days as you're raining. That is not. That is not. Well, well, well, well, okay. Here's the only thing that I will give Roka. The clock immediately stopped when the show ended. If that's the case, if that's the case,

Starting point is 02:39:35 and you'd have to take Mark Riley's reign away from him. Mark Riley was the reigning champion from 2014. I don't know what you're, I don't remember anything before. 2015. It just stops for a while? We didn't have when we ran the tournament in 2014 Riley won it. Then in 2015 we did a teams tournament. 2016 is when we rebooted the league and brought it into Collider and Riley was the active champion. So Riley was and that rain lasted.

Starting point is 02:40:02 So both so I hate to tell both Winston and Roka who are making up their own rules. The the official rule, it didn't just stop as Winston falsely claimed. The rules are. that both Kevin Smets, Sam Levine, and whatever mix of teams champions that we have in King Khan and Polo Yamah, those are your champions right now. If that's the case, then I guess I am the reigning team's champion manager, you know, all this time too.

Starting point is 02:40:35 So, Rocco, what's your problem? Why you can't be on a record board, boy? Oh. We have a lot of, we have a lot of, we don't have a lot of time to do and a lot. I do have a quick announcement real quick. I talk to Roxy. Roxy is now my new manager, and we're coming down the ring. Josh Wilding and Penny Barclor for the live event.

Starting point is 02:40:52 With Josh Wilding. He's my new. Kies are cool. He stepped away. He knew it was best for business. You and Winston really knowing how to take the moment of what not talking about on social media and bringing into the live stream is just absolutely incredible. Completely by accident. Yeah. Leave Josh a low, man. Josh a good man.

Starting point is 02:41:12 Mine was absolutely on purpose. but yes. Good to see everybody. How's everyone doing? Smetzy did some games for us today. I did. Yeah, so, and we got Roka and Roxy for another 15 minutes or so.

Starting point is 02:41:24 So let's, what can we do? Oh my God. Okay, so I will need the first time. You have me for literally one minute, as you know. One minute? I thought you were coming in for until one.

Starting point is 02:41:32 Nope. Oh, you're out one minute, Roxy? I said I had 40 minutes. Oh, I thought you got an hour. Okay, we have one then. Just go PLD. It's Muppet, Muppet, let's see if she can guess the movie.

Starting point is 02:41:41 It's MMO5. Roxie. Rockstar Rockin, what? What? You got to guess what movie that is. Oh, it's always low. Hey. Oh, am I not supposed to guess?

Starting point is 02:41:53 No, you are supposed to guess. You are? Yeah, right. Bring that. Guys, that's me as a Muppet. Hey. I did that special for you, Roxy. Wait, am I the cute.

Starting point is 02:42:00 That's Andrew Guy as a Muppet in the background, too, if you see it. Yeah, I did. That's Andrew Guy. Well, we're not going to have time if she's gone in a minute to do the Bracket Madness, but that's fun. That's co-host Carnage. I have all of our co-host. post lined up. They each have a weapon of choice in an arena and we're going to go through

Starting point is 02:42:17 the first round and the second round. All right, let's see it. Who would win in an all-out brawl? You go to the bracket madness. All right, here we go. So we're going to start at the top left. We got Chris Carr's going to open up with a chainsaw versus Mike Kalmowski who has a weapon of his ex account on his phone.

Starting point is 02:42:35 I'm so bummed he's not here. He'd be like, you motherfucker. Winston, you're in the first round. You're going to face off against Christian Harlov. He has a samurai sword. You have a giant sledgehammer. Kevin Smets, I will have an axe facing off against Roxy Streyer with a flame thrower. And John Roka, we're going to start you off with

Starting point is 02:42:51 PLD because the fans want to see it. You have a chain whip like Simon Belmont. Number one versus number 16. That makes sense. That makes sense. That's right. That's right. Number one versus number 16, right. Broca, there are eight competitors. I know you're not good with numbers. You know,

Starting point is 02:43:06 you can't go past four. But like, real talk, Brody, like relax. Chris and the chainsaw is amazing. I love that. I'm so excited. And thank you for putting me with my nemesis. My Kellynne.

Starting point is 02:43:17 Yeah. I think I'll just hurt you off at that. You guys, you love Muppets. He hates Muppets or something? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:43:24 And that means that we now have a blood feud and one of us must die. Well, I would, if it's me, I'll tell you, I never really else combat it. But I'm going,

Starting point is 02:43:31 I would go, Chris Carr takes, because Mike would be too busy trying to tweet. Go back to that. Go back to that. Yeah, go to the graphic. Mike Kalanowski would be too busy trying to tweet at somebody,

Starting point is 02:43:38 would be able to efficiently, and she'd be prepared. She's always prepared. So she would cut Mike Kalanowski's head off, so she wins. Then I'd vomit afterwards. You would, and that's maybe why you'd be a little weaker for your second fight. Yeah. You would all at the same time, you would probably retweet one of Mike's tweets and then to say, like, that's one way to get ahead in life.

Starting point is 02:43:57 Yeah. I was stupid joke, sorry. Winston versus, like, Winston's strong, but I feel because of, like, right now I'd be a little quicker with the sword. I think I'd be able to take one of you know. I feel like that's solid because you have that big sledgehammer Winston. But here, hold on again, again, if Winston gets that one swing, though, and that's what I'm saying,

Starting point is 02:44:17 right at the point where you're coming in, you're fucking. Winston's strong, but it's because of the weapon, I think I can take it out with the weapon. But with Kevin, I'm actually going to give Kevin, I'm going to give, the only reason I'm going to give you the edge over Roxy, it's that I feel like Roxy might get clumsy with the flame point, light herself on fire. Kevin can win. I won't, I won't, I won't fight Kevin. I would, well, first of all, I would never.

Starting point is 02:44:38 I want to write. But I think Roxy would take it. You can take that off now. I think Roxy would take it because she has like the, I mean, she, you know, those flamethrowers from like apocalypse now. I'm toast. I'm not even getting close. Plus I would never raise an ill hand on Roxy.

Starting point is 02:44:52 Roca takes out PLD with the rage alone. Sorry. Not even. Goodbye, my friends. I hope you make so much money. Oh, Rocky, right now, I'll tell you to leave, Rox. Bye, Rocks. 48, 920.

Starting point is 02:45:05 248, 920. Nice. I'll give me an update. I'll give me an update. You guys know, I go live for DJ's show at 10 o'clock. And like, as you guys know, you have to like be a human who can pee and drink water at some point in the day. Yeah, what I try to do.

Starting point is 02:45:20 That's what I try. Because then I go straight from there to RR and then I'm there until all night. And I already did two other shows this morning. Guys, it's hard out here for him. Dude, I'm made for this. I have a colostomy bag. I'm actually probably taking a shit right now and you guys don't even know it. That's amazing.

Starting point is 02:45:35 I knew you were lucky. Smyts, I knew there was something so lucky about that. I will say the bonus is I never have to go to those gross gas station bathrooms in an emergency and stuff. It doesn't make that noise either, so that's like antiquated. Thank you very much. Okay, bye. Bye. What would S-E-N-be without fart noises?

Starting point is 02:45:56 All right. So Roka takes out PLD for sure. So in my round one, I have, I have, yeah, my round one was. You took out Winston. Do we all agree? We all have to agree. Chris. Chris versus Chris. And then it would be on the other side of it was.

Starting point is 02:46:12 It was Smats versus Roca. So I would say, I would say that the only reason why I think Mike takes it over Chris is not because of the webinar or anything else. I think we just talked about Chris not doing well with Gore. So the minute she takes off a limb with Mike, she's going to quit. She will. So Mike is going to only have one arm for the background. I think he'll be distracted. This is fair.

Starting point is 02:46:34 Yeah. because you gave her the wrong weapon. Have you given her like a gun? Penny Barber's watching and she goes after the jewels and that's the end of it. I just think Mike would never hit a woman. So Chris will have that advantage. Like Mike would get close. What if I close my eyes?

Starting point is 02:46:49 I just keep my eyes closed and I just chainsaw and let Jesus take the chainsaw. I think she's overly prepared. I think she's over prepared. I give Christian between the two of us because weapon choice. If you'd give me anything else, it's different weapon. That was my thinking as well. It would slow me down. I think that.

Starting point is 02:47:04 I think that it was Smets versus who? Smetton. You have offended me for the very last time, Mr. Cook. I demand satisfaction. Well, he even had a woman to fight for him. If Shannon is there to hit with the second slap afterwards, I think, I think Mike's got it because he's got the, he's got the manager back up.

Starting point is 02:47:27 He chose, he chose a better girlfriend because that slap is, Shannon would have knocked that. Shannon wanted to throw on a right hook. Shannon just boom. Yeah. So me and wrote, and Roka, first of all, I would never lay an ill hand on Roka, but if forced to fight for the

Starting point is 02:47:42 defense of my people, now we have an act. I would just disattach his colostomy bag. That's the end of the fight. That would probably ruin it for you, though. I would take it and I'd shove it in your face. You'd be like, whoa, what's back? And then I'd chop your head off with my axe. I'd be like, I'd be like, goosh.

Starting point is 02:47:57 That wouldn't hurt me. That would actually hurt you more than me. In my round, too, the only reason I would take Chris is kind of what we were talking, take out Chris is what we were talking about is that Chris would be so disturbed from all of the blood and carnage from the first. fight that I would use and Chris knows that I would use all the stuff against her that I know she doesn't like. Oh yeah. And that I would distract her. Chris, Chris would be like that character and Chris would be like that character in Hunger Games that gets like drafted in the Hunger Games and

Starting point is 02:48:20 you feel so bad for her and she's like in the cornucopia and just gets like destroyed because she does she sees I'm just I'm rude hiding in a tree just being like please no. That's true. You might make it to the end. Let me let me tell you something. One of two ways though, I think. Either Christian uses everything he knows against me like a monster or. Or you're a secret cinnamon bun towards me. Like, you're very, very sweet to me, Christian Harlov. Whenever I have like a really bad day or anything, you're very, very sweet. So I think you'd also be like, hey, kid, are you okay?

Starting point is 02:48:48 And then if I could muster it up, then I'd shove my chainsaw in you. Thank you. I'm forgetting. She has a chainsaw. She has a chainsaw. She wins. The thing that, well, yeah, the chains. It's the matter of what I would have to do.

Starting point is 02:48:59 You know what it was? It was like, I would tell her, I said, Chris, you know, I had this sword that I bought, and I would tell you about the, who made it. And you would be so appreciated of it. and the art and then I'd throw it and pretend I dropped and you'd be like, oh, let me get that for you. And then I'd have to take something else and probably take you out. That's true. My southern hospitality would be my undoing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then when it comes to, we got Roka beating me then or what? Or does he wrap his chain against this? Yeah, I just, Roka, like, when the thing is,

Starting point is 02:49:24 Roka can take everything out of the equation and focus in on if like, he won't be your friend for this. I don't think you have that in you. Like, you're still, you even said it. You even said it. You're like, oh, I'd feel bad. Roga, Roga is going to, Roga's going to take. your head off and put it in the back of his of his display to show you I'd be in the middle of my sentence and he'd chop my head off and then he'd have it on display at his house for yeah um and then me versus roca to i'll give i'll give i'll give it a roka too even though roca and i have been roca and i have been in and literally have been face-to-face once once once we almost yeah we almost went at it once we would face the face went in the middle of yeah in the middle of collider in the break area

Starting point is 02:50:02 yeah it was like we were we were it was like holy field Tyson in each other's faces. Basically. Ready to go. And like neither one of us was backing down. It was like one of the, like, and I don't, whoever it was that broke us up for that second. And then I think we squashed it within 10 seconds of after having a breath.

Starting point is 02:50:21 But it was, that was the only time that we ever got in face to face. That had to separate us. That had a. Was it bad? Guys. Stop it. Guys. Yeah, it was that.

Starting point is 02:50:29 But I almost had three fist fights. Oh. Collider. Because there was also a certain somebody with a British accent. you had to separate us from that one. I remember that one. Christian came in and was like, guys, Cinamax is here or Showtime is here.

Starting point is 02:50:44 What the hell are you two doing? You know what's funny? I believe that and I don't remember it. I don't, but the thing is, I was trying to figure, I don't remember much. I really don't. Like, when I was,

Starting point is 02:50:52 very toxic at times, I don't remember much. So for the games, I know if you still want to shoot the shit, that's fine. I do have, because Chris was here, I wanted to do the Muppet Muppetize games.

Starting point is 02:51:02 I thought that would be fun. So, all right, let's do the Muppetize game. team and then his Rook could probably be pretty good of that too and then we'll let Roker go. Yeah, I got like 10 minutes. I start easy and then I get harder. And then we'll play me, Winston, Chris and you will play the rest. All right.

Starting point is 02:51:18 Okay, here we go. We'll go for, here's the first example to see how to play at MM00. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Nice. There we go. Well, Chris, Chris can answer that one. When Harry Metzelli.

Starting point is 02:51:30 Yep. There it is. This is Chris's Schmodown training now too. Yeah. Nice. All right. So, movies's advertised. We got the next one here.

Starting point is 02:51:37 I know what that is. I think. Everybody chime in once you know it. Are you going to say what I think? No, I think like once, go back to everyone, if everybody can kind of agree,

Starting point is 02:51:46 it's kind of a team. You guys are on a team, let's say. And don't look, and don't cheat and look at the chat. No, no, I got it. I'm not doing that. But that looks like Kevin Spacey, but I don't remember him holding a shotgun.

Starting point is 02:51:57 No, it's, it's Jurassic Park, clever girl. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Bring it back. Bring it back. That's some good teamwork right there.

Starting point is 02:52:05 That is. That's not, that's actually nowhere. I'm not ashamed to say I was going to say Copeland for one second. Oh. All right. So I guess it's not chunky.

Starting point is 02:52:15 Broca helping out the team there. Let's go to M.M. Were we on once? So go to the next one. Yeah. This one. That feels like Barrymore scream, right? Scream, yeah.

Starting point is 02:52:24 No, but not, I mean, unless your program did some stuff to it. But like, I didn't do anything to it. Because the back, because the back, that's not the couch from scream. That,

Starting point is 02:52:34 how do you remember the couch I think, I think, I think that's scary movie. I think that's scary movie. I wouldn't do that to you guys. It's scream. I'm not going to, I'm not going to. That's not the location. What are you supposed to?

Starting point is 02:52:45 I don't know. It's just a house. You know, this is this a phone? Ain't nobody on the phone looking off the floor. All right. Listen, I'm not taking notes, okay? I'm not taking notes. These are for the fans.

Starting point is 02:52:55 All right. All right. All right. I mean, that, I mean, that, that one. Okay. Awesome translation. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:53:02 Oh, man. That was good. For a lot. I almost said the lucky. Hold on. PLD. Someone, whoever, could you slow down? I know that one. Chris, you want to, do you know it?

Starting point is 02:53:10 You want to take it? Is that the bride? Hold on. This is when you get a Pitz. This is the one way Kevin Smets can beat everybody in that death battles. You keep showing off of all of his things too early. I know that one. Put it back on.

Starting point is 02:53:23 I'm trying to tell him to slow down. Okay. Oh, oh. That is a sunset boulevard. Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yes.

Starting point is 02:53:31 Very good. Very good. Very good. Winston, there were these films in black and white back in the old. days. Just letting Winston know. Is that I'm ready for my close-up line, too? One of them was black, the other was white.

Starting point is 02:53:43 I predict that Christian will get this and Roka will get this. I'm not sure. And I think I don't know because I... So Roker, don't answer them. Okay, I won't answer. Let's see, let's see the young... Oh, um, um, um, bridges of Madison County, maybe.

Starting point is 02:54:03 Yeah, kind of on the, no, not, right, right, you're on the right. You're on the right. okay. Roka knows it right? I'm not saying anything. They're not saying anything. Okay. I have, I'm just because y'all said close, and I've never seen this movie. I'm just to take a shot of the dark. The bridge over River Kwah. That's a long. That was way, way long.

Starting point is 02:54:22 It's a little bit earlier, yeah, with Obi-1 canobi. That's a great movie, though. So Roka and I can answer it. Okay, Christian, you know it? Yeah, it's out of Africa. Out of Africa. Yeah. That's, you can see, that's, what's his name, Robert Redford there? What are they doing there?

Starting point is 02:54:36 He just poor. I saw that. Still, I'm like, what's he doing for a milk on her? Marl Street. All right, let's go to, I think all you guys are going to get this one, MM7. Well, what do we have here? Hello, lady. It's been a long time. Okay, if you insist, wee.

Starting point is 02:55:24 Wow. I don't know. Where did you get that, Cass? Any hint? Oh. Oh, man. I feel like you guys, look at the, I would give you your hint. the composition of the shot.

Starting point is 02:55:39 Yeah. Man. That one I don't know. Good, good. Because remember last week, Christian, they were too easy, right? So I wanted to make it a little harder. I'm stumped. I'm going to go to the former champion. I got nothing.

Starting point is 02:55:53 Chris? Let me see if the chat has it. I don't think the chat sees it yet. No, someone does. I have a guess, but I haven't seen the movie, so I don't want to say it out loud. I'm just going off of what I can remember from like the poster and what the costumes look. like. Okay. Because it's composition. Is this Wes Anderson? It is very

Starting point is 02:56:13 cool. Okay. Nice, Chris. I don't know a movie. What's the photo? Show the photo again. The, I will say this. The AI didn't do them up as well with their. Is that the Darjeeling limited or no? No. So the chat's getting it now. Oh, what's the Ray Fines one? Oh, it's Old Brother? Is it O. No, it's not O'Brien. Grand Budapest?

Starting point is 02:56:37 It's Grand Budapest. There you go, Chris. I haven't seen that one in a while. I'm stoked that these aren't coming easy because last week it was like way too easy. So let's go to MM8. We only got a couple more here. Social network. Hey, Chris.

Starting point is 02:56:53 Way to go. Beats us all on that one. That curly ass hair. I know that's Zuckerberg. All right. PLD. Let's keep rocking and rolling. Okay.

Starting point is 02:57:05 What a lot. Nice, Chris. Dude, watch out, guys. Chris, she's the rookie in this tournament, but she might kind of steal. Do you know how much I hope Chris has a nice run in the, in the, it would be rad. It would be great to be great. I'm so nervous. I'm,

Starting point is 02:57:22 I'm, I can, I can reveal you're playing Dan Merle in the first round. Yeah. Yeah. To the wolves. That's what settled the score did for me. The first time I ever played non-geek settled the score,

Starting point is 02:57:36 they're like oh and you're going to play dan merle i was like what dude you're kidding me all right go to the next one pele d got a couple left this one might be tricky that's joseph winston got it that's inception nice dude this is what i love that you guys like rush more i've never seen inception what the oh i know you got to that i don't think i don't think i don't think you are entitled to say what the to anybody when it comes to seeing movies. No. I agree.

Starting point is 02:58:05 What movie he hasn't seen? Winston? Oh, there's a couple. The one movie I think is called everything. 80s. He hadn't even seen the Rambo movies. Yeah, yeah, you see the Rambo. Problem.

Starting point is 02:58:16 Right. 80s is a problem. We got a great, we built a blockbuster later with Ellis and Christian. It's going to be Build a Rambo movie. I'm excited for that. Go to the next one, PLD. This might be the hardest one because this is like,

Starting point is 02:58:29 I was like, okay, I'm going to really see if they know. That's a tough fun. it's not from like any it's like a scene from the movie but are we allowed to ask questions yes is that Travolta that is not Travolta that is Billy Cruttup Oh

Starting point is 02:58:43 Billy Crutt up But it's movies It's a movie Yeah because I'm with Winston I would have gone morning show with that's exactly where I mean Yes because it could yeah Totally but it's not But Billy Crudups in it

Starting point is 02:58:56 He plays kind of a similar character As in Morning Show There's your hint Oh Oh, man. That I was going to say big fish, but no. And it's not broadcast news. Ed, that's Billy Crudder.

Starting point is 02:59:07 Billy Crudson, broadcast news. I'll give you one more hint. One of the men in that image besides Billy Crudup, so the other guy has played Batman before. Oh, Michael Keaton. Oh, okay, so that's Keaton. Post? Nope.

Starting point is 02:59:18 Oh, Spotlight. Is that spotlight? Spotlight. There it is. Oh, nice. I just saw that again the other day. That movie still holds up, man. It's a good movie.

Starting point is 02:59:27 That is a horror movie, though. And we got one more for you. the grand finale. I think you guys should get this one. Yeah, we can let Roca go after this one. Oh, I know this. I know this. Go ahead, bro.

Starting point is 02:59:39 Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's Jeffrey Rush. Hey, Winston don't watch no movie. Not Jeffrey Rush. Not Jeffrey Rush. It is Jeffrey Rush when he sits on the throne. Yeah, he's sitting there.

Starting point is 02:59:54 Oh, yeah. Winston looks like you're going to be the first alternate. if anybody dips out of the tournament. Yeah, we'll say, we'll say. That is not a tournament. Good to see you. Good news. Good news for Roak, as he's leaving.

Starting point is 03:00:08 Right now, we're at $248,995. We are $5 away from $2.49. We are $1,000, $5 away from guaranteeing the opening of those 10 tickets at rendezvous. And we're very, very close. So, John, I want to thank you for coming in and joining us here and showing the support. I appreciate it, man. Thank you. Appreciate it.

Starting point is 03:00:29 Love you guys. Good to see everybody. Later, man. Okay, I love me. All right. So now. And then there were four. And there were four to play these. Someone does it.

Starting point is 03:00:39 I just want you to know you're all cowards. You're all cowards being broke over me. Just want to know. I just said I didn't want to get an angry text later. I think that I, listen, the thing is PLDE too, I just feel, and I know you've been taking care of yourself and you've been in good shape lately. But I think that he knows he'd get tallios, throw it on the floor, and that'd be the end of it. Oh, gosh.

Starting point is 03:00:58 I also think that Roka Roka would be good to have your back in a scrap Because I think he could turn that switch on And like, you know the stories of you hear of Haku Like being like super scary I think like Roka could just turn it on and just be like Aggression, you know? I mean he was threatening to rip my colossomy bag off for God's sake

Starting point is 03:01:16 That makes a monster Speaking of monsters I think we're going to have another special guest coming during our During this hour I do have two more Smets games for Winston and Chris If you guys want to do it They're traditional ones but they're kind of fun Unless you want to just move on to other stuff.

Starting point is 03:01:32 Okay. Let's see. What are we doing? Oh, there it is. Okay. Oh, I didn't know if that was the answer.

Starting point is 03:01:41 Okay, we are. Okay, Chris and Winston and Christian. Yeah. A billionaire is going to give you $500 million to make one dream movie. I want the chat to chime in here too. You get to complete,

Starting point is 03:01:50 get complete creative control, but the studio goes bankrupt if it fails and it's all on you, right? So you got one shot. What would be the most potentially to save a franchise? franchise with half a million dollars. Proper Terminator 3 with James Cameron maybe. New Indiana Jones with a new actor, younger actor, maybe his earlier adventures, live action Batman Beyond.

Starting point is 03:02:11 Dear to my heart, there's Revan, Old Republic Star Wars, or Ramboverse Predator, the ultimate showdown, the ultimate showdown. What do you guys choose? What do you think would be the best chance to resurrect a studio after a slew of failures? I mean, I think every one of us is going to say the same thing because it makes the most sense. So you're talking, well, now, before we answer, look at that, 249. 0. We are less than a thousand away for opening up that tier.

Starting point is 03:02:35 If we get to that 250, guys, if we get to 250, we're going to open up those tiers for the rendezvous, exclusive. You'll be able to see the Schmowdown tournament in its score. You'll be able to watch the tournament and know who wins the damn tournament before anybody else. You'll be there watching it and seeing a new version of it. Hey, question for that. If we don't, I hope we do hit it. I think we will. But if we don't hit the live action, live event tier, does Mike and versus Smets and Sam versus

Starting point is 03:03:06 the tournament winner get moved to rendezvous? So is that would be a bonus for them? So we just never get it. I just don't, I just don't have to watch Madam Webb tomorrow. Well, I just don't, you know, I just don't know when we would do it or how we would do it. It's not a definite no. It's just not a guarantee.

Starting point is 03:03:21 Gotcha. Okay. So I'll put, yeah, I'll put the Morbius. Yeah. What I will say is to let people know, You know what I want to do is I want to play something for people because we did the we just posted on the channel. We posted because I did because I waited to do the VandaVit. Now I keep you saying Wanda Vision.

Starting point is 03:03:43 Vision Quest. We just did it. And I want to play the opening. What going on everybody? Sorry for the late reaction for Vision Quest. episodes three and four this is the latest in the marvel cinematic universe a lot of stuff going on so i'll be watching this and i know i know everybody saying the last one why you doing this about yourself why i do this sam sent sam say i'm out here leave me alone no sam today he's so happy

Starting point is 03:04:25 of himself on that one he's so excited about he's so excited come from because there's a story behind it Like if you look at when you look at so she had no clue. I told her, I said, listen, when you come in, when you come in, you pop in. I'm going to look at you. I'm going to go, where'd you come from? And she's going to go, you doing this shit without me? Right. But she didn't know that I was going to do when I did.

Starting point is 03:04:48 So like her. So theater school really paid off. It sure did. It sure did. Yep. See? That's what you're saying. That's what I'm saying.

Starting point is 03:04:55 Chris. Like watch. Look at this. It's prep. Leave me alone. No Sam today. I love about it too. It's like a pseudo sequel to all the times you scare her on your Instagram.

Starting point is 03:05:09 Yeah. I got her yesterday again, too. I got her yesterday. How does she not enter that facility with like night vision goggles and a freaking taser? She had been, but I haven't purposely done it in such a long time. So that's how I. So yeah, so that's how I.

Starting point is 03:05:28 Oh my God. You guys just unlocked a buried memory from three days ago. Well, holy, so. That's, that's problems of you, the unlock. It's three days ago, man. It's like three years ago. You got to talk. Buddy.

Starting point is 03:05:39 We were in, we were in the, so most of you know that I'm shooting a feature right now. We're in the martini shot for the point. I don't know that. I watched the episode. You got cast. You got a text about it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 03:05:51 So I'm in a, I'm in a, I'm in a feature that I'm shooting right now. I'm going to flip a table. Why don't I know things? We actually hang out. I got to talk. Look at that. Okay. All right, $2, $2, $2, $4, $8.

Starting point is 03:06:02 away from unlocking those tickets get ready PLD if we get those if we get those we get that ticket you got to tell Craig I'm I'm here for it but real fast that we're in the martini shot it's supposed to be somebody who similar to like the end of Avengers when when Iron Man's down and then Hulk yells and then oh he just pops up so this guy is supposed to be like not alive at the moment in the movie right and we're all sitting there supposed to be looking over and we're really concerned It's the very last shot. They knew that I did a horror movie with this director before and how easily I got scared. So I say my line and I get real close to his face.

Starting point is 03:06:40 Then all of a sudden he goes, and I shit you not. I almost slapped him, realized I was about to and just ran out the fucking door. And everybody was just laughing at me for at least 10 minutes. And they said, well, I don't think we can use that shot. But that's definitely going in the post credit. So if you want to see me literally shit myself on camera, that will be coming. Are you going to invite us to the Premier? We all want to go support you.

Starting point is 03:07:05 I will have to. I will have to do that, man. That reminds me of the Alan Rickman member in, in, um, diehard, right? They were like, we're going to count down to five for from five. And when we get to zero, we're going to drop the thing and you'll drop into the safety harness when he falls. And then they count it down. And then they stopped instead of dropping at the zero. They dropped it at like two and he wasn't prepared.

Starting point is 03:07:26 So that look on its face is literally thinking like, oh shit, it's snap. I got to give an update. Look at that. Hey. Bill D. Let Craig know that the peers are open. Now for Schmode Amphans, Ed, get in that group. Look at that.

Starting point is 03:07:44 It's going up now, too. Get in there and let people know that in order to, those 10 tickets are going to be available, and those will get you the exclusive tickets that will get you, the guarantee that you'll be in there. Because I don't know how many tickets are going to be available to outside of the competitors and stuff too because competitors are going to have tables. Competitors are going to be able to eat.

Starting point is 03:08:06 Competitors are going to be able to do this. So you're going to get a guarantee. Nice. And if only, the only thing is I just wish that it would have been great. Can you bring up that graphic PLD about the who would win in fights again? Kaiser blocked off the bar, by the way. He already called and made a reservation. So I tried to sit there.

Starting point is 03:08:24 Bring up. Give me a second. I delete it already. I'll upload it. Give me a second. All right. Before, I would like to bring. I want to bring up that graphic.

Starting point is 03:08:32 that you did about the fight really i want to bring up that graphic on the fight one more time because are we going to make some adjustments here no i thought i had it going in roxy and chris in the finals that's what i thought about i thought about chris is a version but i want to let you guys know some that we are now only 50,000 away from guaranteeing to get that live event with sam levine defending the title and mike kalanowski versus kevin smet and you want to do it just for the fact that mike kalnowski will stress out for the next six months you saw how he was at the last live thing. Like he almost didn't want, he was like, what if like, well, he's not here to defend himself.

Starting point is 03:09:05 He's not here to defend himself. He's not here to defend himself. He's not here to defend himself. He, I wasn't here to defend myself for a month when you guys talk shit. Oh, there he is. There he is. I'm always, I'm always there. You're always there. You should have popped in his, let me stop here right there is what you should have done. Well, look at this little beautiful backgrounds you have. You understand. This is where I want. I want him to do this. This is where I want the show come every time. You look a little jacked out here. Yeah. This is my Zen zone. This is my Zen garden. my oasis my oasis in the bullshit

Starting point is 03:09:33 bro you look like you ready to go play triple h in the biopic man come on i'm hitting them peptides today's very um hi mike hi hi oh gris hi we're not doing arm wrestling as part of the speed round anymore are we because i'm going to be in trouble i'm coming out shirtless

Starting point is 03:09:50 that's right well then penny barbara will definitely be with you um so do we have that graphic yet PLD all right mike There it is. I want a Mike to answer this. Wait, what am I looking at here?

Starting point is 03:10:03 Okay. So this is, this is if we had a co-host carnage, in the weapon of choice. Kevin Smith with a, with an axe, Roxy Shrier with a blow torch. She beat me.

Starting point is 03:10:13 Roka with, what is that with Roka? That was like a chain whip from like, Castlevania. Okay, chain whip, Peelty with a flaming stick. Me,

Starting point is 03:10:22 I have a samurai sword. Winston has a big hammer. Chris Carr has a chainsaw, and you have Twitter. Fuck off. I was wondering why Christian was going. I was so bummed you weren't here to see that, Mike. Let me ask you this.

Starting point is 03:10:37 Could you address? Could you tell the people, though, why you hate me? Oh, yeah. Why had all the hosts that you don't want to do shows with Chris Carr was number one and number two and number three? That's why. I knew. You're a woman. Clip that out.

Starting point is 03:10:51 Exactly. I don't host with Winston because I'm racist. I won't host to you because I'm. Well, you know why, Roxy? Because I'm racist. That's why. you know, I'm going to ask you, let me ask you this, Arloff, because I'm thinking about doing this. And I want to know if you think I can do this starting.

Starting point is 03:11:09 A titty shake from the ladies. No, you can't do that. January 1st. Yes. I'm going to start with a month. Okay. Do you think I can do no Twitter for a month? A month?

Starting point is 03:11:24 A month. You did once before. I remember if it, if it was, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, it was for something and it was for even for a challenge yes i think you'd be able to do that because when you challenge yourself as we've talked about with schmodeown you can do it now in your regular life it was just for your own health and to yeah no i don't but if you're all right do you think if he did it though i think mike if you did it and you come back and you'd realize you didn't you didn't miss it that much and you probably would do it less i do it for do it now now ask me if

Starting point is 03:11:54 you can do it for five months that's a different story right Then you, that's when the addiction kicks in. It's not, it's not a month. So you think five months would be the addiction. Holy shit. Yeah. Five months you'd not, there was, because I, because here's the thing. Five months is a lot, though.

Starting point is 03:12:10 If you did it, if you cut it out for five months, I think you'd realize of how unnecessary it is for, for you to live. I think it's, I think it, I think it adds way more nonsense to your life than you need. Well, here's the thing. You said something really good the other day, uh, where you were, Like when I'm on this, there's a side of me on Twitter that gets really nasty and ugly. But there's a side of me you said that lights up a room and entertains people. So I'm just kind of like, huh, because I spent a day, like my day blew by the other day.

Starting point is 03:12:46 I was on Twitter all day, not doing good stuff and engaging with whatever I shouldn't engage with. And I was like, my day went by and I didn't know what I did for the day. Like, I was like, what happened? That was a 16 hour day. And I was like, how the hell of this happens? So, I don't know, five months, we'll see. Here's a thing, too. Where do you get your news from?

Starting point is 03:13:05 Because I love social media for my news. But you don't need, but you don't like, what's going on in Texas right now with the voting? That's all I'm getting through. That's why I don't work with you, Chris. That's why I won't do you show. Where do you get my news from? I got an idea.

Starting point is 03:13:23 The news? But there's websites and things you can go to. My things you can also. look at the news and not go, hey, I can't believe you wrote that about my favorite cheese sticks, you fucking asshole. Meanwhile, there's text messages in his phone, unreplied, where I'm like, hey, man, I heard about what happened. I hope everything's okay.

Starting point is 03:13:45 He doesn't respond anybody. He's rather reply to the trolls than write back a friend who was looking out for him. That you cannot take personal. Mike writes back to no one. But he does. He writes back to everybody on Twitter. That's true. the thing. I would say one thing,

Starting point is 03:14:00 Harloff, if it was just like, hey, you get pissed off about D.C. I'm people don't, like, I'm that way with politics. Like, I am a very... That's true. Vocal, confrontational, drama person. You get, dude. But I do with politics, too. It's not like I'm just some film Twitter guy that, like, you know, I'm very passionate about politics, too, so...

Starting point is 03:14:19 I sent you that gift one time of Batman at one time, because you do put take up the fight that a lot of us probably in our head think we want to do. Like, but you know what I mean? like and I sent you a gift and I'm like you're the hero we don't deserve but we need or whatever. Yeah. You do take it up for some of us, but I think it's, yeah, I get you. I get it. I don't want you to get yourself so stressed out, you know.

Starting point is 03:14:40 Yeah. Well, okay, look. You got to be prepared for our match, bro. You ready? Whether or not you could do that or not is a great. Got to go watch Madam Webb tonight. It's a great challenge. But again, so like Mike, I don't know if you knew this, but we announced this.

Starting point is 03:14:54 Well, it's almost a guarantee that we're, I mean, I mean, I hope. it is that we're because I've been promoting it but we're pretty sure we're doing it at rendezvous like 99% sure that we're doing it at rendezvous um but we're going to be rendezvous is in uh in burbank it's the same owners of um of uh scum and villainy yeah you mentioned that i didn't know about that we're going to we're going to be shooting the tournament there and what we've now been able to unlock because we're at we because we are over the 250 area now we are going to unlock um 10 exclusives tickets, which PLD, please let me know when Craig puts that up there. I'll be right back. When I come back, we'll play those games with Mike.

Starting point is 03:15:34 Okay, we'll play those games with Mike. So I'm action Batman Beyond. Oh, that's right. But thank you from, thank you for answering that when he comes back. We got to get to all three of us. We just a lot of things got thrown off. Um, but anyway, so Mike, now 10 exclusive tickets will be available for people who want to come see the Schmode and we're going to, the beauty of it is to how many times we've done these shoots where we're like, oh, we have to like order a pizza or something or does not. on a food or whatever it might be. Now we're going to be having it at this restaurant where you can you and you and you and you and you can't have your own table and sit down and because you know,

Starting point is 03:16:07 you'll be watching, you'll be competing, but you'll be watching the tournament for the most part. You want to sit down, have a table, order some drinks, have some food over the course of like two days when we're shooting this thing. And even if like maybe let's say, let's say you're not competing on day one, Mike. Let's say you're competing on day two. And then you sit down and you're like, I'm just want to watch the matches and we're going to chill out. I love, I love how you're trying to sell this like this to me, but I know exactly how you are. You're gonna, I'm gonna sit there have a nice dinner watching this. Like, hey, Mike, get it there.

Starting point is 03:16:34 Go go up behind him and fucking talk to his year and bring out your Twitter account and say the shit to him. Fuck you. I can enjoy myself. I've never done. I've never done that once to you. Never once. Never once.

Starting point is 03:16:48 Bullshit. Never once. Bull shit. Never once. Yeah. Well, to be fair, I did give you, let me, let me stop you right there. So yeah. Is Smetzy back yet or no?

Starting point is 03:17:03 No, when he gets back, we'll play a little bit more of that. But I'm so, I'm so pumped here where we've got already, guys, we're at 250, 250. We're getting closer. When we get to that 300 now, we're going to guarantee that Mike Kalinowski and Smets play one another again at a live event, not even at the, at the rendezvous. It'll be a separate live event.

Starting point is 03:17:24 And Sam Levine will be playing for the championship that's there. Now, if there's other things inside that, we should come up with some, you know, we could do what we think about when, when Smets is coming back, we should think about some of the, maybe a stretch goal. What's, what's 260? Right? Because now we're getting close. What's, what's 260? What can we do on the, Mike, would you do, would you do, would you do not have something you're trying to come up with it right now? Yeah. So I was going to say at 270, would you, would you put your Twitter account on hold for two months at 270? What do I get out of this? I'll pay you. I don't have a role in the show, so what am I doing here? Well, it would certainly put you in consideration. Oh, damn. That's the ambition. The years of shit I've done for you. You play men who hate social media. Yes, you play, that's right.

Starting point is 03:18:11 We'll focus one of, we'll feature one of your angry tweets at the end of the show. We got to think about it. People are given some ideas, too. Dinner, I mean, that's true. to a 260 at dinner with two i think that that should be something where i wish craig was back here we got to get craig in here too um a two hour show with me and penny that's what someone said a full show with you and penny yeah i still want you know what you know what we can set mike why don't we set the 270 at the at the abn awards oh absolutely all right so so let's set that at 270

Starting point is 03:18:49 i will make sure to fly out put up mike to cover the aviann awards for us. Oh my gosh. Whether it's next year, probably January is when you usually happens, right? And we'll do that. So 270, if we hit 270, then we'll send Mike

Starting point is 03:19:09 to the AVN. Sure. Yeah, Kevin, I agree with that. Could say that again? He's going to need a producer, right? I'll fly out there with him. Oh, yeah, sure. Everybody's one time everybody, everybody's going to volunteer without me having to ask. Oh, you know what the name?

Starting point is 03:19:24 It's the only time. It's the only time the lot of you is not going to say, hey, we'll actually hear you guys say, you don't have to pay me for this one. Mine is Chris Carr. Chris Carr is going to have to pay me extra. Yeah. Hey, let's get to these two games real quick because then I don't have to. Oh, let's answer your first question.

Starting point is 03:19:41 Let's answer that, that question. Dirty, dirty animals. 100%. Everyone. So that question about the Batman Beyond, I think. Well, let us let Mike see it too. All right. Mike, a billionaire gives you $500 million to make one dream movie.

Starting point is 03:19:54 you get a complete creative control, but the studio gets bankrupt if it fails. So this is it. This is the final straw. You get a proper Terminator 3, maybe bring James Cameron back. New, young Indiana Jones, reboot it. Live action Batman Beyond,

Starting point is 03:20:08 Old Republic Star Wars, or Rambo versus Predator with the director of your choosing. What do you got? Live action Batman Beyond. Yeah. Almost every version of those other ones, something has been done already.

Starting point is 03:20:21 There's been, except with the Rambo Predator. Ramble Predator. But old Republic. You don't do Rambo Predator without Stallone and Stallone at this age. Also, that's to be rated R, so it wouldn't make as much. You can't text me. You can't fucking tell me this show. I posted the wrong one.

Starting point is 03:20:36 I think I posted. You got to take me out for a second. So Batman Beyond, who would you pick for the old Bruce? Are we going, because would we go Keaton or after Flash's failure? Do we do, do Affleck or maybe a wild card? That's why you and I, Smets, are on such. the same wavelength because before you even said that, I was like, you can't go Keaton because of the flash failure.

Starting point is 03:20:59 Yeah. If there was no flash movie, 100%, but that tainted that bringing him back. And I say this as someone that actually, I enjoyed the flash. I love the flash. I love the side from the CG. Yeah, so who do you go?

Starting point is 03:21:12 I don't know. I mean, I think you go. I would go some, oh, sorry, wait, see, go ahead, bud. Oh, I was just going to say, I think you go get Brian Cranston, to be honest with you. Oh, so you're saying passed out. I say stunt casting. Christian Bale.

Starting point is 03:21:26 Yeah. Old Christian Bale. But it doesn't have to be in that universe, right? It could, but. Yeah. I mean. If you're going to get a previous bat, I would go bail, but I love the idea of bringing out someone else.

Starting point is 03:21:39 Chris Nolan directs. So many people have certain attachments like you're my, he's my Batman, he's my Batman, he's my Batman. I say you go just a new actor so that everyone could go, this is this version of Bruce Wayne. I love that too. Yeah. Oh, I do love that.

Starting point is 03:21:54 Oh, you gave me goosebumps. Who would we go with then? If he was a little... Sorry, sorry. Sorry, sorry. Sorry, I was just going to say, that's why Cranston was my thought, because I'm thinking the angry curmudgeon Eisenberg that he did, obviously, the back half of Breaking Bad. I immediately see old Bruce with that same kind of attitude, but still having the mentorship he showed to, oh, my God, why did I forget his name? I said, Jesse.

Starting point is 03:22:18 That he showed to Jesse the entire time. I think you could also do that with Terry. Interesting. Yeah. That's if I was going Batman. I was going Star Wars personally. I think Old Republic was the way to go. Oh, near to my heart.

Starting point is 03:22:29 I got the Revin mask right over here. I'd say if he was a little younger, he's getting a little older now, Stephen Lang. Oh. Okay. Because he looks like he's had a career. He looks like he's had a career of grizzle. He's beaten down. Like I think Stephen Lang would be great.

Starting point is 03:22:46 There is also an avatar style, Stephen Lang. Yeah. Yeah. So if you adapt something, though, like Batman Beyond. Neo Year, then you don't have a Bruce Wayne. Bruce is dead in that. In sighting incident, not a spoiler. So you can also just have an older Terry McGinnis because that story is incredible and it very much lives in that like Blade Runner. AI is a big threat. Like it's a huge part of that storyline. And so then you can do like a very cool isolated kind of elseworld story

Starting point is 03:23:16 that you then can expand upon if you do go, oh, this is really successful and now we can move forward with it. I saw it in the chat so I can't take credit, but it is a good choice is Josh Rowland. Because of him being attached to it back with Affleck when he was going to be it. Like that brings a little bit of like a what would have been. And as he gets older, he'll really get into that role. You turn me around. I honestly thought like, oh, bail, that would be like the guaranteed money for older Bruce. But you're right. You go for a new name. Yeah. I just think if you're, if you, Mike, the whole studios depending on you. and you have a chance to get bail or Josh Brolin,

Starting point is 03:23:53 don't you do bail to make sure you get that money back? If we're talking business-wise, which the question is, right? It's business-wise. It's like, as much as I'd love to see the whole republic, that's too much of a risk. It's like, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 03:24:06 Plus the fact, plus the fact, the Faloni doesn't really care about it too much. And the idea you have to, you're back, you're backing up. Look, that's the one I want the most. But as far as making money, you look at Spider-Man,

Starting point is 03:24:18 what Spider-Man did, there are two guarantees if you do them right and that's spider man and batman and i go with kevin's idea on bail not that i don't think brolin wouldn't be great he would but if you say bail's coming back as an old grizzled batman you're getting people into that theater in the same way you did when you heard that Andrew garfield and and what's the face or does it turn into a keaton flash situation maybe so but that's one of the main reasons that people went and saw that movie in the first place yeah i get sure but mike you have creative control you can bring in nolan if you want

Starting point is 03:24:48 And then you could really guarantee like, I don't think Nolan would come back without bail. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's probably true too. But if you have, if you have $500 million, you can pay them a little extra to say, don't worry about no. Now, Harlov, to your point, if this was 2014, Knights of the Old Republic, I would say. There's no, just Star Wars yet, and that's Disney's first Star Wars. Now that, now that's a great.

Starting point is 03:25:10 No, no, that's a great point. If you're, if you haven't had Star Wars since. Yeah. And then you say our first thing that was. have coming back is not during those times, but it's this. Yeah. And it's all, yeah, because the, and it's to your point, Christian, it would be like Harry Potter. Everyone knew the Harry Potter books, but the Harry Potter movie came out. Everyone would know the twist, but everyone would know they're going to be loyal to the source material.

Starting point is 03:25:32 It's the first Cotor game. Right. And the thing is that's the, and the difference with that is that we're talking about worldwide books and a very popular game. But we're in games are major, major, bigger than the movie industry. However, that the game at that. game at that point, not a lot of the mainstream fans know the story of old Republic. Gaming fans do. But they'd be blown away when they see it.

Starting point is 03:25:56 That's what's great. That's why it would be a killer movie. And I think the other thing that would actually, this is the only reason why I'm still leaning towards Star Wars even now, I think after the news of biowar going down and the number of people that have been genuinely so upset about it, you know that they were behind Kotor, I do think that there is a world where people would be like, this is like my last chance to say goodbye type stuff. So too bad, Faloni would be like, eh, no.

Starting point is 03:26:17 No, F Revin, because Cologne, he's a fucking fool. We've got one more game, and I've got to get out of him. All right. Let's go one more game. It's just because he doesn't like Cotor. I think he's done fine. I mean, the-in-Groku is great. I had a great nap.

Starting point is 03:26:30 Two in the afternoon is awesome. All right, let's see. All right. This is SG2. PLD or Christian, whoever's in charge. The PLD leave? Perfect. PILD leaves and doesn't tell anybody he's leaving.

Starting point is 03:26:46 That's perfect. It's SG2. It's the must marry. And I have choices, both male and female. I'll give you preps on this. Hold on. Hold on. Let me find SG2.

Starting point is 03:26:55 SG2. SG2. Must marry. SG. SG. Sam 2. It's SG. 02 must marry.

Starting point is 03:27:04 No, no, no. That's for Levine and them. SG. It should be right next to where the $500 million movie is because he probably bunched it with all the muffets. It would appeal to go. Why would he bail out of nowhere? SG Albo. SG, Sam 2, Sam 2, Sam 1, Alba.

Starting point is 03:27:20 Give Mike a few of those Muppets. Let's see if he can get the Muppet. 0-1, 500. Then right after that, S-G-O-2. No, I'm not seeing it. What did, P-L-D just left? Where did you go? Computer crashed.

Starting point is 03:27:33 Okay, perfect. Jesus, P-L-D, Jesus. I'll give you a setup here. Well, let's do, yeah, and I think Luke's trying to add it right now. You send it to Luke also? It's in the drive. Okay, Pildee's the morning show. It's in the morning show, full of it.

Starting point is 03:27:45 Pildeeldee's back. Pildee, we need this. What's it called? SG2 must marry. All right. So you know what we could do by a little time? How much time do you have? Oh, I got 10.30.

Starting point is 03:27:56 I'm just, I might leave literally, I'm waiting on notes from the network in New York. So at any second I have to go. So let me, okay, there we go. All right. Here we go, you guys. And the rule is you marry one and you cannot get divorced. You're locked in. You must marry one and spend the rest of your life together.

Starting point is 03:28:12 So you can have Dolores Sumbridge from Harry Potter, George Costanza from Steinfeld, Miranda Priestley, Devil Wars Prada, Joffrey from Game of Thrones, Janice from Friends, Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory, Walter White, we were talking about him earlier, Breaking Bad, Circe from Game of Thrones,

Starting point is 03:28:27 Michael Scott from the Office, and Regina George from Mean Girls. You're stuck with one. Who you got? Let's go around the field and chat. Chime in, too. I love to hear what you guys think. I think this is an easy answer for,

Starting point is 03:28:39 at least for the dudes. It's an easy answer for me. I know right off the best. For the dudes? Yeah, take this. Should we all say to this? same time. Yeah, one, two, three, Regina George. Oh,

Starting point is 03:28:51 hold on. So you said Janice? Okay. Absolutely. I said, she is hot as fuck. That actress is hot as fuck. You're going to have earplugs all day? That's not the question of hands because if it's going for just pure, let's

Starting point is 03:29:08 go for a role in the hay as nobody says, I would I would pull, seriously, seriously is my first choice, but I'd be dead. I'd be dead at your throat. right after. I'm not worried about her trying to kill nobody. Yeah, she can't. I'm worried about her fucking her own brother. Regina George.

Starting point is 03:29:25 Regina George turns out to be good. At the end of that. Janice turns out to be a good person. That voice, dude, she could smash glass from the second. Oh, Mike, you give it to me so good. Mike, Mike, she'll be like, right there, Mike. Can we go see the new comedy this weekend at the theater? And you're like, uh, no.

Starting point is 03:29:47 man. I don't want to take her to the movie. It's the truth. See, at least I know that Searcy does that. I ain't got proof that Janice out here in these streets like that. If she is, it's annoying. And I don't know Virginia George, Virginia George, I feel like she would pretend like she was going to the whole time. Be like, nah, I was just playing with her. We could change her. We could make her a good person.

Starting point is 03:30:05 Take her to church a couple weeks. But let Chris Carr answer now. A great way to start a relationship. I can fix them. Yeah, no, that's what every guy is. I don't know. It always works. I've never had a problem with it. Dude, I mean, this is kind of,

Starting point is 03:30:22 mine's obvious based on who I'm married to. Michael Scott. Oh, yeah. That's really good. I love just an affable nitwit. I love a sweet, sweet. Like, I really try hard at my improv classes kind of person. Yeah.

Starting point is 03:30:37 That's really, really good. We could take now, let us. He would annoy you eventually. How about the girls? You have to be a roommate with one of them for a year, Chris. But here's a difference, though. Logan, though, is like a really good dude. Michael's and very smart. Yeah. Michael's good at heart. He's good at heart. He does a lot of. He's a lot of, he does a lot. Yeah, but there's a lot of really douchey things. Yeah. And. And, uh, let's see. Let's see. Let's see the options. And also, if you pick a girl, it could be, uh, you would have to be a roommate for them for life. So you'd have to be their roommate. We could. We could, we could be a roommate with, fellas for the guy. I think that Chris's choice is the only choice.

Starting point is 03:31:18 Joffrey would be terrible. Walter White would make a lot of money. She'd be living the good life as long as she'd have to wait for it. But then you wind up going to prison before being an accessory. But then what if I get hooked on meth? That's true too. Jeffrey, Joffrey, no way. That's the worst choice.

Starting point is 03:31:31 Absolutely. To Stanza, you could probably, you know, he probably wouldn't be home half the times because he's not doing stupid shit so you could be your own thing. That's true. Yeah, but like you don't want to, you don't trust them to buy the envelopes, though, because you're going to drop dead to lick him. All right, where you go? You're out of here.

Starting point is 03:31:46 You got one more for us. No, that's it. I can hang out for a little bit here. I have no more games, but yeah. Look at that. 250, 3, 25. Now we're just what, what I say, Mike, 270 or 270? I can't remember 270.

Starting point is 03:31:56 All right. 270 for the Avn awards. 270. And then I'll tell you what, what I will do at 270 if we hit it, I will reach out to Penny to have to see if I can get her on the show to tell her that we're going to send Mike to the Avian Awards. Bro. And Penny will invite you to all like the VIP parties and stuff like that. We're going to have a blast.

Starting point is 03:32:12 I can't wait, Mike. You and I were going to just. tear it up. While we're doing this right, I'm going to send it. We could study together during. Bring flashcards. Yes.

Starting point is 03:32:21 Chris or Winston, just take over for a second while I send this DM. What the fuck are these flashcards, says Penny Barber. What the fuck is this notebook? I mean, I guess that's a good question. Mike,

Starting point is 03:32:35 do you have like questions ready to go for the avians when you go? Because I feel like we're going to hit this team. Absolutely not. I'd have to prepare. Okay. I don't know if there was anything in the chamber, if things you just want. wanted to know when you went in there, you know?

Starting point is 03:32:46 I love snatch. I guess PLD is back then. There's a good indicator that he has returned. Oh, okay. Hey, I love you guys. I do have to go. Works buzzing me now. I will be back for Alba and Sam and then I'll be back for Ellis later.

Starting point is 03:33:05 I love you guys. I love you, Mike. I love you, Chris. Fans. Good to see you, my brother. I'll see you guys at the live event, Mike Kalinowski. God. Shit.

Starting point is 03:33:16 So, later, brother. Wait a minute. How am I supposed to do this show now with just the two of you? Because I don't like either of you, and I want to do shows. Yeah. It's problematic. I brought a dog so that I can be made.

Starting point is 03:33:30 Oh, I hate dogs. Dogs suck. I hate dogs. If it helps, Mike, I can. What even is the point of you? Mike, oh, here he is. Thank God.

Starting point is 03:33:40 I can use some Naruto Ninja magic and I can substitute juice. for Josh Wilding, sir, if that would help it all. What's up, Pilder? Craig is updated to me. It's updated. Craig's updated. Okay, so we have updated it now, guys. Just let everybody know.

Starting point is 03:33:53 So check it out. Currently right now, if you go and you look at PLD, I mean, I'm not PILD. I keep saying PILD. Ed, if you let people know in Shmone, there's going to be, there's 10 exclusive, are they, where are they? Are they in the upgrades? They must be in the upgrades. But we have those 10 tickets.

Starting point is 03:34:10 Let me know what you guys are in there. There are 10 official tickets that are available. for the rendezvous, it's going to guarantee you, what happened there? Let's bring everybody back. I don't know what happened there. Is that it? There I go. Hold on.

Starting point is 03:34:24 Yeah, let's bring you, that would be perfect. There are 10 exclusive tickets for rendezvous. Now, that is, I cannot guarantee that the event will be available to everyone because I don't know how many competitors going. I don't know how many competitors and people want tables. They're going to have obviously the priorities. So that's why there's a guarantee 10 tickets available for people. If you want to see the entire 15, well, 16 person tournament, 15 matches, I guess, total.

Starting point is 03:34:53 You'll know before anybody else. Those are available now because you guys have unlocked this. So you can get those now and they're going to go quick or they're not going to be available. And even if they don't go, I don't know if they're going to be able to pass this. So because people could tell me, because I don't know how many tables rendezvous has, all these different things. You get an interview with Jen Sturger, you get a table. I can see if the people are rendezvous can maybe hook people up with maybe a free appetizer or something, too. If that's the case, I got to ask one of our backers.

Starting point is 03:35:24 But that's it. So I'm excited for it. And what you know what we'll do also is we can take some questions and other things because I was asking a lot of questions when Martini was on. There was a lot of super chats and other things that came through. So since you guys have been on, we haven't had a. we haven't done the question so we can do some of those. But let me see. I'm trying to look at some of the ones that I have here. And there might be some that are listed towards Martini and obviously she's not here.

Starting point is 03:35:52 So Josh Stick says, didn't you know Mike in college too? I did. I knew Roka first though. We know what it's funny though is that Mike was also in the theater program as well. I said Mike the other couple hours ago that Roka, I've known Roka the longest. You would be right next to him. But I mean, probably met you guys. Yeah, I meant you guys.

Starting point is 03:36:11 I think I knew Roca, well, no. I'm trying to think if I knew Roca before I knew you, though. I don't, but the funny thing is we were in the theater school together. I mean, you, I never saw you once. I don't know if I ever interacted with you in the theater. Never. Ever. But with Roca, that's how I know him from.

Starting point is 03:36:28 I know him from the theater school. So do I mean, Roca directed me in a play. That's what I'm saying. So I never interacted with you once in the theater school. But I knew you from from college. And so, but I think that I met Roca. when I first went there and I think I met Mike like a year later. So I've known Mike the second, the second longest.

Starting point is 03:36:48 Okay. Dean Lewis is to confirm that Winston will be managing Adam Collins in the tournament drip, nothing has been confirmed. Norville Ross, just missing the Schmovath. That'll be tomorrow with me and Winston. Silver Star, thank you. Luke green titty milk. There you go.

Starting point is 03:37:05 How much to bring back S-E-N back? Oh, man. Another $100,000. Luke's green tinty mill. Can we make a goal to bring S-E-N back, too? I mean, I tell you what we can do. I'll tell you what we should do. And that's not necessary to S-E-N, but where we're at right now, this is fair.

Starting point is 03:37:24 Hildee, can we put this as less? By the way, we're at 251, 325. So somebody just bought one of those tickets for the Shmodown. Now there's only nine left. So those are going to go fast. I'm just letting everybody know. So when we get to 260, we'll do two, shit, I'll do 260. I'll schedule one super sized show like we did with every Shmowdown host for a regular show.

Starting point is 03:37:49 So we'll do it, we'll do like a big kind of old, you know, old school kind of S-E-N show where everybody, well, what's special with that? My wallet. That's a special lot is that I have to make sure that because people are still going to do the regular show, plus we're going to do another one. So I'll bring in everybody to do a SCN type show where everybody's available to do it. And we'll do it. So that'll be at 260.

Starting point is 03:38:10 So 260, you get the supersized show with everybody. At 270 is the Avian Awards that Mike will cover and go to. And then the 300 is the live event for Shmowdown. So that's what we still, we have, we have quite a, quite a lot of time to do this. When is the, is the cutoff officially in over at midnight or is it then? Tomorrow. Tomorrow is officially the last day. So, Mike, what do you think all about this? Mike, do you believe that you, that say nothing if you think Kevin Smets is a better competitor than you are in this mode?

Starting point is 03:38:52 Interesting. Say nothing if you feel that Penny Barber is your superior. Perfect. Don't rain on my beautiful sunny day here. It was really nice out there. It was really nice. It was nice. The rain helped out here a lot with the heat and all that.

Starting point is 03:39:17 It's funny when I did that. Someone said John Cena is in the stream. Okay, so we have Ethan Graham's 15. What's up, guys, Roka? Oh, shoot. It just missed your title. Missed that one. You can ask them.

Starting point is 03:39:31 You know what I'll ask them on the air. See if he text Roka. Let's see what he says. Hold on a second. Oh, hold on a second. I'm going to send this to him. This is a question that came in for you. Which run for the belt was your favorite?

Starting point is 03:39:48 He just watched your title match against Bibbs last night. Okay, let's see what he says. So make sure we ask him. Oh, man, I got to ask Roxy one. Text Roxy. What do you want to say? Okay, here's another one that came in for you. Roxy, are you excited for nobody one?

Starting point is 03:40:05 wants this season three that comes out today can't watch today i got a music event to run too but excited oh i didn't exchange that but that's fine um okay Ethan what's up guys we did that one right yeah we did those there's two of those oh that's two Ethan sent in two thank you either uh Caledon storm blast 14 became a member thank you so much appreciate that Mike d is there a way I can donate for behind the scenes package you gift to viewers I'm happy with my current tier will bring bridge the gap to 250 is there a way I can donate four oh wow you can gift to viewers so that's that's a great question PLT can we ask Craig that one that's really nice um if you can do that so he wants the gift I don't know how you would I think you'd have to like I think the way that it

Starting point is 03:40:51 would work you know this is this is this is like tricky right I think you have to like send it to them I have to do from their own account I don't know how that works I guess Craig Craig will have to figure that that's that's nice Mike want to change it or send it. Oh, shut up, will you? Mike D. Gap closed. Let's go. Thank you, Mike D.

Starting point is 03:41:11 We got Daniel Logan. 250 Jules. Thank you so much. Mr. I crap and shits. Mike, what do you feel about this? Interesting. Mike, say nothing if you feel that overall

Starting point is 03:41:26 there is no world where you're better looking than anyone else in this show today. Interesting. I didn't think you would say that. Usually your ego would get in the way. What else is going on with you? Mike, say nothing. If you will, if you say nothing right now within the next two seconds, then you have to give up Twitter for the rest of your life. Interesting. Perfect. Okay, good. There we go. How do we get back to the four squares?

Starting point is 03:42:03 You got to change a little. There we go. There we go. All right. Okay. So we did this one. Mr. I cravengers is Chris. Winston-Smith. It's poor Ford out for a BioWare. Fuck up my internet and Harloff. What? Perfect. The studio behind Baldur's Gates, Star Wars, Night's O'Nighter Republic, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect closed down. Yeah, I know I did hear that F, EA. Yeah, why? I mean, that's, that, that stinks. Bioware was awesome.

Starting point is 03:42:26 Boy, Bioward, 30, 30 years of some of the best video games we've ever seen. And the fact that we were going to get a new Mass Effect game and it's gone, I, I'm very upset, yeah. Let's say, we are going to go to the next. It's a BioWare F and phone. Yes, thank you. Jimmy Burris, K. Christian, just joining, but I don't know if you know,

Starting point is 03:42:46 but the Vision Quest 3 times before you upload is a watchlaw. I'm not sure if anyone was pointed out. PLD told me via text. I private it first, at least. I didn't interrupt. But even private, come at a situation like here, come back up. In a situation like that,

Starting point is 03:43:01 if you hop in, you interrupt this thing. Okay. Please. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. But I re-uploaded it, or Luke did, rather, and it should be good now. Yeah. Mr. I, crap and shits became a member. It's about time. I miss crap and shit. Mr. Nico. Hi, everyone. Thank you for everything that you've done for me in this community. Much love to all of you and keep up great work. Going to enjoy this rainy day at the movies and Universal. Okay. So are you at Universal? Are you at Universal? Look at Mike. Which one? No, PLD. Have you not been starring the, uh, the, uh,

Starting point is 03:43:34 the comments and stuff? Not as much I'm doing the games and stuff. Okay, that's fine. Can we, so if you can go through it, because I'd like to get some questions and stuff, if people have things that they want to,

Starting point is 03:43:45 we'll start those up too. Couldn't pledge much, but I put my two cents in and thank you for doing that. I really appreciate that. The Batman combo convinces me that a Mike Smet's weekday special show would be just as fun as the ones

Starting point is 03:43:55 he do at Winston and Chris, make it happy, Christian. Robert Lewis, thank you. You know, I'll add that. I'll tell you what. Right now, 251, 500, It's where we are. If we, and, and there's, I think there's nine tickets left for the Shmodeon exclusive event,

Starting point is 03:44:11 nine exclusive tickets, rather. When we get to 260, we're going to do, we're going to guarantee a full show of every host, like a supersized kind of S-E-N-type show. I'll even bring Brett and Steph and everybody back for that one. And then 261, when you hit 261, I'll do a special, Mike, me, Mike, and Smet's show. No, they didn't say you. they said me and Smets. Well, I can't have.

Starting point is 03:44:36 I can't have. I can't have the two you guys doing that together. It'll just be the amount of the amount like because. What? What? Let me do the intro. Let me do the intro. But this is the intro if, if Kevin is introing.

Starting point is 03:44:48 Okay. Yeah. That's me. Okay. Hold on. Hey guys. So today we've got a show. We're going to do a lot of games.

Starting point is 03:44:58 And I was thinking about the games that we do. And I have like, I have so many of these games. And when we have these games, we play them and we play so many games. And I have like, there's a lot of pictures and a lot of stuff. And everybody will be, and there's a guy on the show that we're going to do. And he's going to be on the show with me. And I can't wait.

Starting point is 03:45:12 We're so excited. This guy knows me. And he, we've done a lot of stuff. And Kaiser and I used to talk about them all the time. And we're going to do this stuff. And there's games. We're going to play these games. And everybody knows.

Starting point is 03:45:20 And that would go on for about 10 minutes to get to the intro. And then you get Mike and he's like, hold on, fuck face. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Let me, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. If you were going to be, oh, hold on a tough guy, let me tell you something.

Starting point is 03:45:34 Let me, let me ask you this. If you're going to, hold on a second, hold on, fuck you, you're saying some things. So wait a minute. So let me tell you this. That's the whole show. That'd be glorious. The whole show would be canceled within seconds. But you have a lot of sound bites.

Starting point is 03:45:58 It would have some sound bites. I don't know of the history of my show. There's anybody who's produced more soundbites than you. at all. Right. Someone said, Mike is danger, Phil. You'd be like, oh, wait a minute. Hold me, let me stop you right there.

Starting point is 03:46:10 Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on. Let me stop it right there. Smitzy. Uh, see. Okay. Where's the next DC movie? Who knows?

Starting point is 03:46:18 Uh, uh, uh, okay. Mike, when are you going to see Clayface? Friday. Okay. Here's.

Starting point is 03:46:29 Uh, you're, first of all, you muted. You're muted. You're muted. that's fucked up that's fucked up I'm not that's it I cancel I'm withdrawing my pledge

Starting point is 03:46:43 I think I think it was Spence is the one that did that donation to get to the match between me and him that was all Smets Smets was in the middle

Starting point is 03:46:54 of doing some after effects like very precise shit and heard that shit and said hold the fuck up I know we're in a live Zoom I'll be right back I'm chewing like he's been

Starting point is 03:47:05 like he's been methed out in the woods for six weeks. Hold on a second. Let's say. Um, okay, we did that one. Hey, guys, great show. Thank you, Gman. Appreciate that. Coolie. Hi, there he is. Thanks, Mike for the shout on my book and Twitter. Congrats, Chris on the show. Let's go. Hey, Christian and Chris. Also, I love street fighter. All right. Fair enough. There you go. Fair enough. Uh, Yoshimitsu. Are the Schmodo tickets a new tier or a new ad on? I think they're an add on, right? Pildee. Yeah, there's an add-on. Is rendezvous in L.A.? It is. It's in Burbank. Rondervu's in Burbank. So, or 251-525. Yeah, I think, PLDD, if you can confirm this, I think there are nine tickets left for the Schmonde. There'll be nine tickets left, and I cannot guarantee that they will be available after the Kickstarter, because I haven't even taken an inventory of how many Schmodeon competitors we're going to have, how many tables Rondevue has. This is just going to guarantee that, you know, 10 people outside of the Schmodown

Starting point is 03:48:05 people who are fans of the show will be, have an opportunity to have exclusive tickets. Thank you for telling me that it was in Burbank because all this stuff I was looking at. I was like, this looks like a hotel lounge friend, but yeah, it's the same as the same villainy in Hollywood. Yeah, so the same one.

Starting point is 03:48:21 I don't know it's the same owners. I didn't know it was the same theme. I thought it was literally a different. I think it's a little bigger this one. Cool. Does Mike have any good rocas stories from the Florida State Day? It says, Sammy. I don't because like I said, he directed me a play.

Starting point is 03:48:37 So, but we didn't hang out outside. I don't even remember how I got in contact. I wanted to say, I just auditioned for it. So I met him when he cast me in the role, my role. Probably like me, though, he was much less angry, because I was much less angry back then. So funny. It's a total opposite for me.

Starting point is 03:48:57 He was a phenomenal director. I would remember if it was a shitty experience. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would have to be sticking like five. this guy, but we had such a good time together. Let's see, this one's for you guys. Did you hear they're doing a Poison Ivy show that'll be sure run by the person to do the Penguin Show and it'll be the main DCU, B. Gill.

Starting point is 03:49:15 Is that, is that, is that, is that, is that, is that, I thought that got. Yesterday. Oh, is that new, Mike? It's new. It came out yesterday. Oh, okay. No, I didn't hear that. Yeah, this is the new thing.

Starting point is 03:49:26 Yeah, so I'm very, I don't know. We'll see, you know. Yeah. I'm curious which way they go with Pamela Isley. Like are we going to lean into that kind of penguin realism or are we going to be like, nah, this, this girl can control plants with her brain? Right. Okay, let's see where this one is where the tickets at. I think that those are those are add-ons.

Starting point is 03:49:50 They are the add-ons and there's one gone so far already. One gone. Okay, so one guaranteed ticket gone. So again, and Ed, I'm sure I just listing that, let all Snowdown fans know that by tomorrow night, those that those options will, those options will, those exclusive tickets will be gone. And I, you know, tickets for the show could, I don't want to lie to people, they could definitely be available. I don't know about these exclusive with this kind of offer to it, but they could be available. I just have to see how many Shmodeown competitors and crew and everyone else need tables and those things to first before I'm giving away anything else too. So it's not, because what we used to do the tournaments and studio shoots is they weren't open to the fans. I mean, every once in a while we would have people in there. But like, But this is why it is exclusive. Mike's chair will return in Avengers Dune's day. Yes.

Starting point is 03:50:41 Rob McDonald, Chris's car manager reveal for a stretch goal. You know, I haven't spoken to Chris or the potential managers that I have in mind. So I don't think we can do that yet. Yeah. The G-man, Christian, congratulations on the Kevin Pollock News. Really excited about that. We're going to dive deeper into that when Freed's on because I want him to really tell the story. But, yeah, the fact, I mean, I told all you, I mean, Chris was the first person to,

Starting point is 03:51:04 reach out afterwards. I mean, getting him. I was at the gym and I audibly yelled, shut the fuck up. It's pretty great, right? Yeah. Yeah. It was pretty. I mean, and you know, yes, when you read the script, Chris, a little different, but you can see him as that character. Yeah. For sure. Oh, no. I think, I think that is something that works very well. Yeah. With like his strengths as a performer. I think he can really make that just like seeing in a really fun way. I couldn't agree more. more. Draven Mark's Mike,

Starting point is 03:51:36 what's your favorite Batman comic storyline? Oh, God. No Man's Land is a really good one. Yeah, that's one that pops to mine, so I'll have to go with that. 251.580, look at that. So we're getting closer and closer.

Starting point is 03:51:51 I'm assuming, Mike, you've read Death Metal. Oh, what? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Dark Knight's Metal, my bad. I didn't like those. Okay, fair. All that metal stuff, yeah, that guy. I was, it was, I just finished it.

Starting point is 03:52:05 It was interesting. I, like, I, I, I enjoyed parts of it. Other parts, I was like, God, this is. Like the man who laughs and all that. I'm like, yeah, yeah, it's not for me. Okay. Let's see. We got, we got these guys for another five minutes.

Starting point is 03:52:18 And then the other thing that I'm excited about is that two o'clock I'll be showing the conversation interview that I had with Wendy O'Brien, our casting director, and some great stuff said to, I mean, that's exciting to hear everything that she was talking about. I think you guys would be excited to see that one. So we're pumped to show it to you. But that will be in just a little bit before we say goodbye to our four wonderful hosts here, too. Mr. C. James, can't wait to roll with Mike to Camino for her Penny Barber clones. Let's go.

Starting point is 03:52:46 There you go. Okay. Dorett. P.L. Dehok, can I reach out to Christian on my pledge. You can go to, same thing, AK, go to Schmo's contact at gmail.com. Or, yeah, I think that would probably be the best way. Cooley hi.

Starting point is 03:53:00 Hey, Mike, don't ever change. Keep being you, bro. There you go. Also, Christian, you deserve all the great things. Thank you, cool. Thank you for always bringing the good vibes. Thank you for always bringing the good vibes. Best. Seattle, K.O. Aren't geek buddies, Mike and Shannon also a college buddy. So I probably knew Mike, so that's so funny that you bring that up. So if we're going to rank those four guys as far as me knowing them, Roka's number one. And shit, Vogel could even be number one over Mike, over Roka. It can be in exchange because as I mentioned beforehand, which was probably not, he wasn't my only person.

Starting point is 03:53:37 There were very few theater people that I was, for the Mike Vogel was one of those people. Mike Vogel is Mike can also attest he was one of the kindest people you're going to meet and was just a really good. And Mike was like really like was because now he's not focused on it. But he was really a solid actor. And yeah, go ahead. No, I didn't meet Shannon until like, to Orlando. I didn't know Shannon until LA. I did not know. I did not

Starting point is 03:54:04 know Vogel until I moved out to L.A. when Shannon, who I knew Shannon for 10 years before I moved out to L.A. Oh, wow. And then he was like, introduced me to Mike Vogel. And he's like, well, you've got to meet my friend Mike. And we, of course, Vogel is Vogel. The best. You didn't know, you didn't know Mike at FSU? No.

Starting point is 03:54:20 Oh, wow. See, Mike, I knew pretty well at FSU. Um, the flouse. We bring, you want to see if flouse will do a special appearance. I'll, I'll commit him to it to something. Should be able to do that. The G-Man, Winston, congrats on the feature.

Starting point is 03:54:35 Yes, super congrats to him for sure. I appreciate that. Thank you very much. Cooley, hi. Christian, since you've been recording your show trending, how will you work in your daily shows? I have been asked this question a bunch of times and I continue to want to answer it to everybody

Starting point is 03:54:49 and I love the fact that people are concerned about it. Also, have you seen Batman Nightfall, Mike? It's dope. Let's start with that more, Mike. Have you seen it? I've not. I want to buy it, but I also know it's part. it's three parts so i don't know if they're going to do like a release it all as one big movie at the

Starting point is 03:55:04 end so i'll probably catch it on streaming when it shows up and then buy it when they do all three together i got to dip out guys i got to get to work go get out of here all right mike thanks all right guys bye chris and winston i hate you guys i sucks that i had to share the screen with you guys oh love you buddy perfect oh yeah i'm in the bubble again yay we want to give it both it's like right there we can do this for now until we get another guest um Okay. So let me go to this one and then we'll close it up and then I'll let you guys go and then I'll play the in the conversation with Wendy O'Brien. It'll be the first time the audience gets to meet. Again, the legendary Emmy award winning casting director Wendy O'Brien. Chris, Vision Quest episode three and four set up the pallet and arc. Oh, you haven't seen three and four. Oh, you haven't seen three and four. Oh, you haven't seen three and four. Oh, no. I prioritize to the Hollywood Bowl yesterday. Oh, you should you should see you should see three and four. After I record my other. stuff today because I've got a show with Amy after this and then I've got a little bit of our auditions. Logan and I're going to sit down and watch it. I'm very excited about it. It's just,

Starting point is 03:56:06 yeah, it's and this is no shade to Todd Stashwick by the way. I've done table reads with him. He's a very talented guy. I just in those first episodes was like, I don't see this guy as the threat he's supposed to be. Thank you for telling me he is. But I'm not like there's a disconnect here. So I'm interested to see how that happens. There's more to there's more to him. Okay. Which I really like. think he does it excellent. Okay, this is the last one for now. Peter Tingle, clearly, again, this is a cool thing, but this is a cool thing too, is that people are finding the stream.

Starting point is 03:56:39 I assume Peter Tingle probably hasn't watched his show in months if he's asking that, right? So which is totally cool because you can't just expect everybody. Maybe they found one of the things that we did, we just, speaking of Vision Quest, we just, we put the link as a pinned comment to tell people that we're live streaming for 10 hours. So Peter, what we did is we're running this campaign for my half an hour. comedy trending. And one of the stretch goals was that initially was if we hit it in one day,

Starting point is 03:57:05 but we switched it to seven days. If we hit our initial goal in seven days that we would bring back the Schmo down for one 16 person tournament. And we did that. And now when we hit another goal, we were going to reveal where we were going to be able to shoot this. And we're shooting at the rendezvous bar and restaurant in Burbank, California. Now at the 250 level, which we just hit, We are opening up exclusive tickets. There are nine left of those exclusive tickets. So we have a lot of different things that we've been able to add. And that's how this moan down is for now.

Starting point is 03:57:39 But, oh, there are two more questions. Sorry, Super 10. Do you guys think the prestige will do well when it's back in theaters? It will have IMAX shows, Fuzzy Bubbles Part 2.

Starting point is 03:57:47 You know, I don't know. That's an interesting one to re-release. It'll do well enough. But I don't, I'm, I feel like, I really feel like I really feel like

Starting point is 03:57:58 I understand now how the economy is affecting box office stuff and how it really has to do something that people are attached to. Just from, I have A-list, so I don't think about it. I just go to movies because it takes the money for me every month. I had a friend who didn't, and we went to go shoot Street Fighter, so I bought his ticket for him. And he paid me back. I was like, is how much for one ticket? So I think the prestige will do well enough, but it is nothing that we're going to write home about. Okay, so this is the last one.

Starting point is 03:58:27 Scuba Steve's Kevin Pollock's stories about Grump People, Men would be amazing. Jack Clement, Walter, Mathau, love seeing all you chatting. Yes, that's a great picture of Scoob of Steve, by the way, with Mike in the background there, too. That's one of the things I'm looking forward to is eventually just having him on the show and shooting the shit with them. You know, that's, I'm really looking forward to that. Roker answered that question. The question was, which one for the belt was your favorite? And he said, the first one beating Dan was his favorite, but the Bibbs one to him was the most vindicating.

Starting point is 03:58:56 Okay, thank you, Roko, for answering that question. Winston and Chris, thank you guys for joining us. As always, make sure you check out Chris' car, two filthy casuals, and Winston A. Marshall, you check them out the Swaggy Bird on his YouTube channel. Make sure you check out both of them, support them over there. You can catch Chris every Thursday on this channel. You can catch Winston every Friday on this channel. Guys, thank you, and we'll see you guys soon.

Starting point is 03:59:23 Good luck with the last day, man. Thanks, guys. Bye, Chris. All right. So really nice to have the support of our fellow co-hosts here too on this 10 hours. And man, we've done it. We're doing it. Continue to do it.

Starting point is 03:59:40 I'm excited to be here with you guys today. And we're already pushing it, man. Look, we started out. We had a little bit of a bumpy road to start. But now we're pushing 251, 620. And those nine exclusive tickets are left for the Shmodown. One got gobbled up pretty quick. Shmowdown competitors, you want those things.

Starting point is 04:00:00 And I got to see, you know what? I'll ask, I'm going to ask our, I'm going to ask our, I'll ask one of our producers here, who's part of the rendezvous, are we able to offer an appetizer with ticket to exclusive to the, to those who bought the exclusive? ticket or 10 of them let me see he may say no but but i'm gonna i'm gonna write it and see and if we can offer offer that as well you ready get behind the scenes back and you know get behind the scenes get a picture with any competitors you get an interview 251 595 we're getting closer and closer building we're moving this is good and once we get that 300 guaranteed live event and then and then

Starting point is 04:00:55 310 we're going to offer tickets to the live event. So got a lot of, a lot of stuff. Let's see, what do I usually, what do I usually drink? almond milk. I can't even think. I'm already, I'm already losing it.

Starting point is 04:01:11 Uh, okay. So, as I mentioned to you guys a while ago, I think that, and this is anything. This isn't just, this isn't just for this show. This isn't just for TV. shows that shmodeau whatever anything in your lives in anywhere you work it's really about having the right team right and that's what's one of the most important things that i have found and

Starting point is 04:01:41 being a part of this project in trending i've had that experience thus far the first part was putting it together with martinia knowing and as you saw our back and forth that we've had we just have a really good relationship. And that part of it eased us into doing this that then led us to Andrew Freed, who have also had a good relationship and ready, that was three people in that were just, it was amazing. You know, and I just realized this too. I just realized this too. And I confirmed with Andrew and this is something that I should have included up top in the things. At 275, we're going to, I'm going to announce another, another producer who's involved. And, and it's, um, and it's, um, it's it's a big it's a it's a big win for us two 75 i can i was i was given i was just given

Starting point is 04:02:29 the clear on that that i can uh that i can announce that at 275 so i'll announce that as well but building that team has been special and so you can't even imagine the kind of um where my how static i was when i found out that wendy o'brien legendary casting director was given the script, that alone, when I found she was writing the script, I was, I was writing this of reading the script, I was super excited. And then when I found out that she read it and liked it and wanted to be part of it, I'm lost my mind. So you're going to see this conversation.

Starting point is 04:03:13 Actually, just to let everybody know, this is really to listen to the audio portion of it, because she's in an area right now. There was heavy storms. So the footage is a little, it was a little, um, it was a little, shoddy here and there because she was dealing with internet problems, but you can hear her the whole way through. So just know that kind of going in, but it's, it's worth it all the way through to just hear her and all this stuff she's talking about. So this was like my first real long conversation that I've had with her. And we were getting, you're going to see us kind of get

Starting point is 04:03:41 to know each other a little bit on this stream and to hear her. So this to me, even talking to her at the end of it, I was like, thank God, that's the person who's casting this show. And I wonder if you'll feel the same. So here is my conversation with one. O'Brien's about an 18, 20 minute conversation, and then I will be right back. Check it out. Okay. So as you guys had been watching the stream, we've been talking about the show, we're in the final days of the campaign. One of the early announcements that I made, and you saw how excited I was when I was making this announcement, it's always sunny in Philadelphia, Abbott Elementary, Sons of Anarchy, that is, that's just, that's a portion of what my next

Starting point is 04:04:23 guest has done. She is the Emmy Award winning casting director of those said shows and our show trending. Ladies and gentlemen, the great Wendy O'Brien is here. Wendy, how are you? I'm great. How are you? I'm good. Thank you so much for joining me. I'm glad what's cool is this is kind of like our first real conversation together and we get to do it on the air. Yes, how exciting. So we had discussed, like as, and for people a little behind the scenes, what was going on is I had sent from this one program we were trying to get this conversation done. And Wendy was going to come in to join me. And I was just setting things up. I'm there, you know, doing my Ned from Spider-Man as I'm going in the back.

Starting point is 04:05:08 And I see Wendy pop up for a second. I was listening to a voicemail and what he thought I was doing a podcast. Well, I mean, first of all, your voice sounds so. authentic. It's just so good and professionals. I come in and you have the headphones and your voice and it just said it's so real. I'm like, oh, no, I just busted through some firewall to jump in the middle of a conversation. What if it was all a ruse? And what if I'm not what this isn't really who I am? And I just said, oh, I'm supposed to be a podcaster in the script that says I'm a podcaster. I've been working on this voice for like the last like three weeks that I do a good job. Yeah, I was going to say it wouldn't be

Starting point is 04:05:45 the first time yeah i'm sure i'm sure that happens with you all the time that's acting yeah yeah you know so we have um obviously a mutual friend and and and an alex yorosh who had kind of connected us and i know you guys had worked together in the past and how did how did you what was your journey like too from from where you are today and the amazing work that you've done how did you get into this profession in the first place. I did an internship in college. I was a student athlete and I really didn't know once I graduated what direction to go. And my dad, of all people, mentioned I loved English and I loved drama. And he said, if you put those together, that sounds like casting, which was such a random piece of knowledge for somebody, you know, from Eastern Canada who was on a horse farm.

Starting point is 04:06:41 And so I went into my advisor and she's like, yeah, there's, you could do an internship and see if that's, if that makes sense to you. And I, and I really loved it. Did you know like immediately? So once you went and you, and from going from the internship and realizing it's just because it really is, it's, it's an art, right? And how you have to see it, read the script, envision certain things, make suggestions and fit the emotion to the character, to the people that you see. scene and it's like an actress I don't think realize it too right where they go in they think that they've just I missed in it I failed out audition and I didn't do what I did maybe they don't get the job but what they've done maybe inside that audition is they'd have implanted and that idea and you know what not for this but that thing I remember that thing you did not audition you'd be perfect for this so it like computes inside your head I'm sure when all that's going on for sure I mean and it's like can you do comedy can you do drama it's like seeing

Starting point is 04:07:41 the essence of both of those. But it also happens with producers and directors. There's been many, many times where I've worked with either the producer or the director who the actors had a really great audition and they loved them and they were, you know, maybe one of two, one of five. And the next time I work with them on a project, I like, do you remember so-and-so who came in and they didn't get it, but I was thinking about them for this role. And they, so, you know, you're planning.

Starting point is 04:08:10 seeds and you never know when it's going to pop back up but it happens often. It really does. I'm sure and I'm sure that's so satisfying for you to where you can say, oh, you know, like even saying, oh, that person would have been so good and they didn't get it, but I have you in mind when you finally do. It's like I knew that that wasn't the project. This is the project. Well, and I think even more so it goes to show, you know, you put in the work and you're prepared and you come in and you just trust the project. it's not always an immediate gratification, but you know, it's you, I know a lot of actors, like when they walk out of the audition, they throw away the sides or like, I'm just letting

Starting point is 04:08:50 it all go. But I think if you really commit and work hard, it's not just for that moment. It really is your long career. And it really can be forever, a lifetime passion. And similar to what you're saying about the long time career that you've obviously done very well for yourself and where you had that you had that conversation you have you take the internship you go through this path and i even when i mentioned up top like just those three credits alone with it's always sunny and um abbott elementary sons of anarchy those just those three and they i anytime that i'm telling people who we have for our show for the cast director i just bring up those three and they go oh my god those are some my favorite shows um out of those three shows what do you feel

Starting point is 04:09:40 Maybe the answer is none. Well, was the most difficult for you to cast, and if so, why? It definitely sons. I mean, they were all, you know, sending kind of came pre-packaged. It was just sweet D that was getting added. Abbott, we were doing it during the pandemic, which was all just a new front of nobody gets to meet each other. you know,

Starting point is 04:10:07 it was just a lot of new experiences. But Sons was super tough because, you know, you're asking for actors to play very tough, lethal, very intimidating, but, you know, the essence is to not play that. You know, you just are. And so, so to find that right balance of believable, but yet still somehow lovable.

Starting point is 04:10:42 Like, the audience still needed to root for these guys as broken and as illegal as they were. You know, it's a really hard balance. Yeah. I'm sure it's got to be a hard balance also just to hear you because it's so, as you said, so significantly different in tone when you think, have an elementary sons of anarchy. where you do have to have two different mindsets and where the dramatic to the comedy. But do you feel one is tougher with the sweet? Sometimes comedy, I, you know, and maybe it's the bias from being for stand-up comedy and everything else.

Starting point is 04:11:16 So I always feel comedy is harder, in my opinion, just because it's, it's timing, it's rhythm. And it's not always that thing where anybody can do it. Anybody can learn rhythm-esque or certain type of timing. but there's timing that is just born in people. And there's a natural thing that people have that's other people who don't. So I'm just curious where you have to have, you've got to have in your mind, I've got to turn on the comedy side of my brain right now and watch this person. I've got to turn on the dramatic side of my brain and watch this person.

Starting point is 04:11:53 I'm just curious if that's how you do it or if it's just a different process. That's a great question. I mean, I definitely, you get in that mode, depending on the tone of the show. You know, some comedies are very subtle, and some are much more, you know, like more around the multi-cam sort of road. So I think you just sort of get into

Starting point is 04:12:18 the mindset of those words and the rhythm of each specific show. It's like when you're reading Shakespeare, you start talking kind of a little different by the end of the book. So I think you just sort of find that voice. But I think, you know, I think great writing sort of transcends everything. When things are written really, really well, it's just people come in and the words just sort of fall out so much easier out of their mouths than, you know, some projects are just a little more clunky. So I think really comes down to the writing.

Starting point is 04:12:53 And then there are so many projects that are hybrid, you know, like Widows Bay is a great example. It is drama, but there's some really funny moments. And I feel like that's becoming a little bit more that middle ground. So it is kind of both muscles at the same time. Well, that's kind of what we wanted to try to do with trending, right? It was that initially when, I guess, 2014 or something was the, I don't even, you'll know, you'll know the person involved in this. So I don't know if you know how the whole thing kind of came to be. But in 2013, I had Bonnie Somerville on my podcast.

Starting point is 04:13:30 And so Bonnie was a frequent guest. And the audience thought that Bonnie and I had dated at one point. We hadn't. We never did. But they thought we did. We played into it. We played a bit into it. And then from that stem the idea of what happens if you were forced to kind of do a podcast with an X.

Starting point is 04:13:49 And I started to build off of that. And it was a drama, it was a drama, really, more like drama. And it was like a 50-minute drama. And it just nothing kind of came to be out of it. And it wasn't until I gave it to Martin. teeny in 2004, where she said, let's just turn this into a 30-minute pilot. Let's scrap it from the beginning, gut it, and let's just take these characters, give them all new backstories and something new.

Starting point is 04:14:11 And it was exactly what you just said. It was a matter of still make them real, but make it more of a let's go kind of comedy. And that's where we are today. Oh, that's so clever. I love Bonnie. Bonnie is great. And she's, Bonnie was also one who said to say hello. Yeah. So let's, I would love to know when you got the script, because you always get nervous when something, especially on someone of your caliber, get your script. Like, oh, my God, when you know, Brian has my script, what's, what's happening. And then so when you got it, do you always get, because you got it from Alex as a friend. And it's always got to be that thing when you go, I hope it doesn't stink because I don't know what, I don't know what to say. If it, if it does, like, how do I, like, what, what, what made you want to get involved? That's what I'm curious. I think there, there are a couple things. But, but.

Starting point is 04:15:00 One, I mean, Alex, he's just got really good taste and he doesn't mince words. Oh, he does not. So no, is it when he said, hey, kid, you should read this. I'm like, okay, great. And I also think at this stage of my career, and I feel like, you know, we've tried everything. There's been, you know, the studios have let us down.

Starting point is 04:15:29 The networks have let us down. You know, they keep rebranding and trying different ways with the same people just sort of reconfigured. And I'm realizing, you know, I don't know that anybody knows more than all of us. It's just they're in the position to say yes or no. And so the thought of you guys sort of taking the reins and doing it on your terms in your grace and with some kindness. and passion. It's like that's sort of the dream, really, especially at this, at this stage of my time. Same here, right? It's kind of the whole thing is that I said to myself, like, you know, my career was when I was younger, it was stand-up comedy, two shows a night, seven days a week. It was, okay, I took an acting class, you know, and I was doing classes here and there and was going auditions, and I was doing those things. But I then really, really, fell into the YouTube podcasting space for a while. And in my head, I started to tell myself for a long time,

Starting point is 04:16:37 well, that was my audience. I didn't need another audience because I had this audience. I was building and growing and growing. But that itch is always there. The writing is always there. These this character stayed in there for as long as it did. And then you start to see the way that the business is shaping, whether it's obsession, whether it's, you know, backrooms. You've got now, the guild that just raised all this money to do these things. And it's exactly what you just said, where we get to do it. We get to build the team. We get to say, we want to do this.

Starting point is 04:17:09 And if someone, and, you know, with I play Rocky coming out right now, I don't know if there's a more inspirational story than that for me right now to where it's like, that's everything that I could possibly want to hear and feel right now. And then with the inclusion. And then I get the news the other day where we all were that Kevin Pollock's going to do the show. And it's like, pinch me. You know?

Starting point is 04:17:28 So I'm super excited to do this. And I think that one of the things that I know that when it was mentioned, that we're going to basically let the audience kind of see the inner workings, too, of how these things are built out and made. And to me, that's pretty fast. I don't know it's been done. But do you find that that's going to be something that could be cool to see people kind of seeing what you do in your process of, as we're making this thing?

Starting point is 04:17:53 Yeah. I mean, I'm excited. I feel like there's so much, so many departments that are so shrouded. in secrecy, especially when it comes to the studio or network side. And we're kind of all of that ourselves. So it's really interesting to have a transparent look behind the curtain to see the wizard. And there isn't a wizard here, which is really exciting. And it's really organic.

Starting point is 04:18:21 And I think that's, I'm excited to see that myself, even being in the industry. Yeah, and then you have obviously a team like boardwalk pictures who does that type of stuff so well in general. That's right. That whole mix of what we're all going to be able to do. So no names, but I want to ask you this because this is something I wanted to ask you anyway. Has your brain already been moving as far as like some of these roles of what we can potentially be who we would get in this thing? Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 04:18:52 I've been actually been just putting together some lists, which is really fun. And it's like, yeah, and I think, I think really the world is our oyster because there are, you know, we're not asking for exclusivity or, you know, massive commitment. So I think it's really time. If people have the time, I think it's great. I can't wait. Like, I, like, this will be on the air so people will see it. But selfishly, I have been, like, one of my most anticipated conversations is with you. and to have like to this because yeah because I get so I'm so pumped to see like these characters come to life and then because I know for a fact and this is one of the things that this is what happens when you get someone like Wendy O'Brien in your show that I'm there's people that maybe in my head I'm going oh there's this person I think it'd be great and you'll yeah yeah but what if it was this person right and because you see everybody and you know them better than I than I do I don't care how many movies or TV shows I watch you you know everybody so it's like that I want to I want to kind of

Starting point is 04:19:56 find myself kind of going outside the box of what maybe I think. Yeah. You know, like that's the kind of exciting stuff. I can't wait to get involved with. Or to think about being outside the box just to come back into the box. You know what I mean? It's just good to think about it in different ways. Yeah.

Starting point is 04:20:11 And that's part of the exciting auditions, which makes them so exciting, is because you'll hear it five times similarly, or how it's written, how it's written, and then somebody will walk in with a completely different take that you couldn't imagine. and then you can't unhear it. You know, you can't imagine it a different way. Yeah. I mean, I think that's, that's the exciting part of the process.

Starting point is 04:20:35 And it is so collaborative. So it's like, you know, the finding the right nuance and the essences that fit, which you know better than me, because you've been living with these characters for so long. Right. So it really is a collaborative communication. Which is the most exciting thing. And it's like anything else too.

Starting point is 04:20:54 It doesn't matter whether it's a script, a baseball team, a law firm, you've got to have the right team, right? And your team's got to be able to have the right communication. Because if not, it's, that's when it just never works out when people are either, you know, in business for themselves think they know better than anyone else. But I have found so far on this team, everybody's just like, let's go. And it's like it's the excitement around it, right? That's always what makes it fun. And I'm like, uh, yeah, I feel like I'm 12 years old again, getting ready to play in the school yard. That's exciting. That's how a should feel. That's not actually how it should feel every time, you know, but, but there's usually so

Starting point is 04:21:34 much that's unknown or, you know, not share. So this is like really exciting and that that people can come along on that journey. Yeah. To experience it with you through your eyes through that lens is really exciting. Well, I wanted to thank you. First of all, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to chat with me and then share this with the audience today. But I do once again, And as I told you off air, wanted to thank you on air. I'm so excited to have you involved in this. You really have elevated this project to, I mean, to the moon, just for having you involved in this.

Starting point is 04:22:08 And it means the world to me, because as you just said, I really want these characters to come to life. I really want to see them. I really want to see the best versions of them. And I know with you on board, we will. Oh, that's so lovely. Thank you. Yeah.

Starting point is 04:22:23 Thank you so much. Wendy O'Brien, everybody. We got her. She's part of trending. So thank you, everybody, and we'll see you soon. Come on. How cool is that, PLD? Where's your little bubble?

Starting point is 04:22:38 There I am. How cool is that? That is so hard-orbing to say. She's so energetic. She's so brilliant. She's awesome. I mean, I had heard how great she was, but, like, being able to actually talk to her and saying, yeah, yeah. I mean, like every single person that I have spoken to who I've told,

Starting point is 04:22:56 I mean, whether it was Katie or Bonnie or anybody, they all just rave about Wendy O'Brien. And now I see why. It was hilarious because I was doing a, I was sitting here and I'm like setting up. Originally we're going to use a different program to get the interview with her. And I'm sitting there setting it up.

Starting point is 04:23:15 And I was listening to a voicemail from one of our executive producers. So she comes in and she thinks I'm doing a podcast. So she freaked out and left. She thought she was interrupting the show. She's like, oh, my God. And I text her, are you still coming in? She's like, yeah, I didn't want to interrupt you.

Starting point is 04:23:32 I'm like, I feel so badly. What do you, what do you feel bad about? And she's like, I interrupted your podcast. I'm like, no, no, I'm an imbecil. I was listening to text. I was setting that up for you. And she's like, and so we laughed about that. But just listening to everything that she has done.

Starting point is 04:23:49 And I can't tell you how excited I am knowing that now we have opportunity, especially with the addition of the great Kevin Pollock, to reach out to these people that we can say, hey, we want you to consider this role or this role. And she has a list and says, what do you think about this person? Like, I didn't even thought about that. That's amazing. Or I might even be not be aware of the people. Right. And that's like what she does. Brilliant. Like, it's absolutely the best. But speaking of brilliant. Matching our energy. Matching our energy. And look at this Pildee. 253. 556. Can you double check? I think we've probably sold a few those tickets. I would assume

Starting point is 04:24:27 if I'm going to guess, I'm going to say there's I'm going to say that there's eight left. Or maybe, or maybe seven, maybe seven left. But I did get confirmation from our, one of our executive producers, Derek McMan, who is one of the financiers of the

Starting point is 04:24:44 investors, rather, in rendezvous, that one of the things also, not only will you get the tickets, the behind the scenes, the interview with Jen, the picture with the competitor. They're also putting in one of the rendezvous appetizers as well, too. Nice.

Starting point is 04:25:06 So when you go, you get an appetizer of your choice. He confirmed that with me, too. So there we go. Currently, where we stand, as I mentioned, let me just get rid of this. Hold on. So currently, as we stand at 253, we have 32 hours to go. Look at that, BLD.

Starting point is 04:25:24 That's nice. We have two tickets are gone off the show down. Eight left. Two of them. Okay, two, eight tickets left. So what was it? Okay, so currently as we said, we have, and maybe you can ask, maybe you can ask Craig to update this too, right?

Starting point is 04:25:40 Because what I have to do is, you know, Wiley's going to be knocking on my door soon to get that trending playlist. I don't blame him. So to 250, we've unlocked that. So we have to, let's get Craig to update that, right? But 260 or 270 rather. What do we say? What do we say at 260? I just said 260 before.

Starting point is 04:25:59 Oh, 260 is going to be the SCN line. It's going to be 260 is going to be a, if we get to 260, we're going to do a full show with all of our hosts for one of the one of the live shows where we'll do a full two-hour show reminiscent to what we used to do with SCN live. And I'll bring in, I'll bring back Brad. I'll have Steph and we'll just schedule everybody and to do a big kind of mega show when we hit 260. Um, at 261, we'll do a, a Kalinowski and Smet's show.

Starting point is 04:26:29 So, so let's, uh, let's have Craig update those two. And then 270, we're going to send Mike to the Avian Awards. Um, and two 75 I'm going to introduce or I'm going to announce. Um, another one of our will acclaimed producers. this is someone who's been involved for a little bit that I would want to talk about and I'll be able to a 275 and then at 300K

Starting point is 04:26:58 that Shmodown Live event will happen and then if he can update also at 310K there'll be a Schmodeown live event taping experience do you want him to update the stretch girls with all those tools? Yeah yeah

Starting point is 04:27:13 so that way everybody can see and we can and I can showcase it here you know and then the other thing that I wanted to make sure people still knew was available that I can let everybody know about because again, these things are, they're all coming to a close here. So I want to make sure people want to get on board with it.

Starting point is 04:27:29 They can if they didn't know what it is. I'll tell you about the 40-day challenge. How long have you said, I want to start a YouTube channel and then you just haven't done it. Maybe you don't know what the channel is going to be about. Maybe you're thinking about equipment. Maybe you're thinking about thumbnails. Maybe you're thinking about titles or what is your first video even going to be about?

Starting point is 04:27:45 And eventually you spent so much time trying to figure everything out that you actually never even hit that report. And that's why I created this 40-day creator challenge. I spent years building various YouTube channels, making content, hosting shows, doing interviews, and learning what works, and most importantly making a lot of mistakes along the way. So over the course of 40 days, I'm going to help you find your niche, build your channel, figure out your equipment, get comfortable on camera, create thumbnails and titles, understand analytics, and actually publish your videos.

Starting point is 04:28:17 You know, this isn't something where I want you sitting around to just watch hours and hours of lessons. You're going to have something to actually do. You're not going to spend 40 days learning how to become a YouTuber. You're going to spend 40 days becoming. So if you're waiting to finally start your YouTube channel, this is it. This is the right time. Join me for the 40-day creator challenge, and let's build the channel together. Come on.

Starting point is 04:28:37 We'll have a blast. So that's still available right now. And we'll be doing, I mean, it'll be available for a little bit until it's all said done for. So that'll be fun to do because, I mean, that's right around the corner and people who are wondering about that and people have been asking this question. I think it's a fair question to have, and I probably should have mentioned that in the video too.

Starting point is 04:29:00 It doesn't matter if you've had a YouTube channel for 10 years, if you've had a YouTube channel for 10 days or you think or thinking about doing one. It's intended for everybody. Right. So there you go. Do you want to do some questions, PLD? Sure. We can try to do some more and start.

Starting point is 04:29:15 son because at three o'clock in three o'clock i got ming and sam in the same room together that's gonna be which is gonna be fun i mean that we were we were gonna do a full podcast together of doing um that kind of like um just friends type thing and i i don't know what the hell's gonna have what kind of stories are gonna pop up and it's gonna be it's gonna be a lot of laughs the thing is i think sam and ming have to share one mic unfortunately but um but then i did find i was like oh no no i have a third headphones i found my third headphones so we'll be able to at least do that But they're coming in at three. At three, yeah, so we're done with this one.

Starting point is 04:29:51 And then then from 1 to 1.30, it'll probably be me and you again. I mean, they make some phone calls, take some questions. I think that's more so. So people keep putting questions in there. PLD will keep starring them. And there'll be questions segments because that was the one thing I did last time. On the first one, that was like, oh, I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss anybody's questions. And now I'm giving, I have my blocked out a little.

Starting point is 04:30:15 bit of time so that we can have question time. And then Matt Sarah is going to be live in studio. That'll be a blast when he's in. He's coming in. So that'll be, you know, who knows what the hell he's going to say. But he's always, he's always super entertaining. Yes, he is. Josh Horowitz. I did New York was great. That was great. Josh Horowitz will be on after Matt Sarah, Mark Ellis. And then Freed and Martini will close out the show. I'm going to try. I hope we can get Craig back in. It'd be great. I'm sure we will. But, um, But we'll see. Okay.

Starting point is 04:30:48 This was very tough beef jerky, hence the meth chewing. That was hilarious. It was really funny. He was like chewing off to the side. That was great. That was a good, that was a good two hours with that with the crow. It was nice to happen. I see that again.

Starting point is 04:31:01 It's been a long time. Yeah, that was good. Okay. What's next? You're just saying he's working, flag him when you need them. Okay. You know, Christian, this is a real deal. So many people rally around him so enthusiast.

Starting point is 04:31:13 This channel and community are the best. Thank you, Doeyes. Yes. Listen, we're trying, man. That's why, but it's also the reason why. I want to try to get everybody involved here in the audience what I want because as as Kevin Pollock's getting involved and Wendy O'Brien's getting involved Andrew Freed's getting involved and these people are getting involved I want you guys to go oh A I want you to say I got involved in that

Starting point is 04:31:32 before even they did or during when they did and not go missed out on that I want you to be part of it I want to be part of it and then like all these different things are coming out absolutely yeah all right what's the next one yeah there go what are the call I mean this is a Well, Wendy question, obviously. He probably thought it was live. But yeah, what are the qualifications to be a good casting director? Someone who really knows the script and material. I think that she would probably say that that's certainly an aspect of it too.

Starting point is 04:31:57 But it's it's, you just, I mean, it's why I brought up what she, what she does is so spectacular because she cast something so perfectly like Tulsa King, right? And then she does something that's completely different in, in Abbott Elementary. So it's like in the vibe of the comedy and something. I think it's really knowing the materials what I would guess. But I mean, I'm not her, but that's what I, that's what I would guess. Thinking on that also is knowing like just knowing who's around.

Starting point is 04:32:29 Like she has a knowledge of these people who are around and I can handle it like in a mean. So it's more than we do anyway. Right. All right. What's next? Alan Smithy. Uh, just sign up for the tickets to the Smowdown taping.

Starting point is 04:32:40 You guys can't get to me that easy. Can't wait to see all my Schmo homies, Merrill Street. Hell yeah. That's what we should we should have big balls do that. That would that would cure that would cure my my anxiety when I used to hear bibs do it if I heard this Marrow Street, Marrow Street, Mara Steep, later later. You got time it to his ball bounce. I know, I know, that's true. Oh look at me, I'm still going to big balls.

Starting point is 04:33:12 Take by in the curtain. Big Marrow State. Merrill State! Merrill Street! Perfect. What's so funny is that people next door don't hear big balls, they just hear me screaming Merrill Street.

Starting point is 04:33:29 It's even better. Look at all this cool shit that we have, man. I don't know. We got that one. These goals are, those are old goals. I think these are all gone. These are all gone? What's the stuff?

Starting point is 04:33:42 I believe they are out controlled. I think the DTE shoe is gone. I think trending is gone. I believe there's like one Schmodeon shoe left, I believe. Is there Schmodeown shoe left? Let me double check, though. It's 253-8-38, by the way, now, just so you know. 253-8-38-8.

Starting point is 04:33:58 Yeah. So let's see. No way to med. Okay. One. Hold on this. Shoes. Let's see.

Starting point is 04:34:11 I can find the shoes for you. Okay. Let's see. That's fine. You find that. And then I'm going to keep going with the two jewels who are thank you. Amanda, can Mike do a doom impression acting as Rodney? Well, I don't know. He's gone now. But if you do the, uh, let's see. Oh, man. What's the door doing back here? Let me catch this for you. I can't even do it. Marky Pry just became a trending supporter. Thank you, Marky Pry.

Starting point is 04:34:39 You got a lot of supporters now, man. 253. We're almost at 254. we are not far away like we're just around um what is it now two what did i say i'm trying to the 260 was the we're set with less than 7,000 away from doing the supersized show with everybody and we're then at 270 is the avian for mike so we got those two things I that that video alone in itself is going to be amazing that question is who's who's who's the lucky cameraman we're going to say I volunteer his tribute you better buy your own plane tech I'll tell you that. Beagle Studios. Let's get rid of that for the question for the 40 YouTube. Does this count for a channel like mine that needs a little help from a pro like you and making a stronger

Starting point is 04:35:24 or no? You know, one thousand percent. That's it it's dude. It's for every it's for every tier of of person who's never had a channel or has had a channel for 15 years. Things change and maneuver. And you know, and and you share different opinions with people and you have conversations with people and how these things are particularly done in the course I think will help that. Fuzzy bubbles. Is that Caleb Williams jersey that you're wearing? It is. There you go.

Starting point is 04:35:53 It is. Go bears tonight. Nice. Okay, let's see. First rate eight. Just secure the last pair of Smodown sneakers. Oh, they're Gonski. Yeah, I don't see any more sneakers at all.

Starting point is 04:36:03 Now I'll have one of each and one of the trending pair to give away. Look at that. Oh, nice. Look at that. Love first straight night. Okay, let's see. Next one. Hayden Wilson, we need a roast.

Starting point is 04:36:15 We did that for my 40th. One of that one of those. I'm good with those. Jay of Marx, Christian, just because you know the problem is a roast now? People don't understand what roast are anymore. Right. It used to be,

Starting point is 04:36:28 roast used to be a lot different when coming up, and I think it was even, I had said this, and then I heard, and not the, got this for me, but he has the same sentiment, is Bill Burrow,

Starting point is 04:36:38 the same sentiment too, right? Is that I hate roast now. Now, I like watching them to see what jokes are funny too, but what they were intended for initially was people that you loved and people that you really dug and respecting them and going up and poking fun at them and telling jokes. Now, it's just people being mean to each other. Now, a lot of times, there's still a lot of people who do it for the love aspect. They are, they still exist. But then you got people who don't even know the person or they're going there for the person.

Starting point is 04:37:08 They're going in there and make fun of other people. And it becomes like a whole, like yet the last one became. like a whole political thing and it's like it's like I hate I hate roast now what they've been yeah I agree yeah uh Draven marks Kristen just because I've been a WV fan since I was four I was wondering if you tell me

Starting point is 04:37:24 what was like writing for them or who did you write specifically for promos um I had a I mean it definitely recently brought back memories I wrote a whole promo for Saturn with Moppy um when I first got there it was right in the middle of all that on the milk cart

Starting point is 04:37:39 um I wrote some stuff for DDP when I was there, some stuff for Kurt Angle when I was there wrote some stuff where I made I did a scene with the rock when I was there. I did stuff with the APA. And that's those ones that come up the top of my head, but I mean, it was nonstop.

Starting point is 04:37:57 So quite a out of the late test. That was him. So yeah. That's, and it was cool. It was like writing for the, it was like being part of the traveling circus. It was like.

Starting point is 04:38:11 Okay. As Joan Rivers said, I went to the Avian Awards once to have a red carpet too. It's shaved, but they have a carpet. Yes, I'm tempted to drop my tears so I can afford to buy the four shirts instead. I don't really need the credits or shout out. I mean, if, you know, if it's the same, it's the same. But I think that you, I mean, but I have nothing. What I will say is, as I mentioned, though, with that is that, you know, what this show is going to be and what I'm confident is going to be.

Starting point is 04:38:37 And I think we're confident Wendy and Freed and hopefully Kevin all feel is going to be as his going to be a series and to have your name in that i think would be a special thing so if i was going to because t-shirts you know are i love my i love the t-shirts but if you're going to choose between the two i would say i would say stick with it with the credits uh those they're really good brian ward did those really really solid ryan ward yeah really really solid um okay what else do we got today is that that is all i see so far those are your eyes are the shit Maybe they are. Christian watch the Warriors.

Starting point is 04:39:15 I mean, that would be one for sure. I mean, it's funny because Sam quoted the Warriors of the day. Oh, yeah, it was really good. Now, but this is different. No, no, no, no, no. Very, very different. Don Rickles was always brutal. Don Rickles was showing the people that he knew the people he was roasting.

Starting point is 04:39:35 And he loved the people that he was roasting too. And they knew what it was. It wasn't like this whole, uh, uh, kill Tony versus Chelsea Handler. Right, right. They were, they were, that was ridiculous. It's like there, there's no place for that in a roast. You want to do it on Twitter?

Starting point is 04:39:50 Fine. No place for it in a roast. Absolutely. No, I didn't. Seattle. I wonder if, no, I didn't. My first show, did I, did I tell you what my very first show was? It was the milk truck with Kurt Engel.

Starting point is 04:40:03 Go! That was my first, that was my first show. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. That was up here in Albany, I think, actually. Yeah. All right.

Starting point is 04:40:11 All right. All right. Let's see. So we are, I was at that show. You were at that milk show? That's hilarious. That's hilarious.

Starting point is 04:40:18 So, yeah, me and you had the first, you were at my first show. You were at my first writing show. I hope I was at. Okay. So we currently,

Starting point is 04:40:29 as I said, we're at 253, 838. They're almost at 254. Pretty incredible. I'm trying to think who I can, you know what I'll do is at 255. I'll start trying to call people.

Starting point is 04:40:41 people. All right. If we get there before Sam and, right. Yeah, you know, it's funny, what I said to Sam was,

Starting point is 04:40:49 I don't know if I, I don't know if I'll, I would do this, but, um, I don't think I would do this, but it's funny. It's like to,

Starting point is 04:40:56 like to start to embarrass one another and say, all right, at 260 something, I will call my first crush and say, hey, did you know I had a crush me? But I was like, you know,

Starting point is 04:41:09 first of all, I don't want to do that. Second of all. I don't know how that came up. And second of my, and now it's like, I don't even know. It was so funny as we talked about this on,

Starting point is 04:41:17 on, on, um, the, a collider, I don't know if, I don't know if Sam and her get along. Yeah.

Starting point is 04:41:25 Plus my wife was like, no, he's not doing that. It makes sense. But, you know, speaking of which I was, Sadie really liked Crystal Lake.

Starting point is 04:41:34 Yeah, that's good. Yeah, she really liked that. She was very nostalgic for her. Well, it's shot that way, too.

Starting point is 04:41:39 It just feels like they do. lot of shots are like that the old 70s right 13 that feels like they're like great homage to it so yeah i really enjoyed it um abernathy was kevin spent involved with you getting the rendezvous was at just jc it was actually derrick and i i can't i i can't go too into it yet because something hasn't happened yet and when something happens then i can go more into it but it hasn't happened yet um crack said he's updated everything so okay oh so we have a new um so we have the new stretch goals and stuff I believe that's what he does. All right, let's take a look at the stretch goals.

Starting point is 04:42:10 So again, 253, 838. There are, ah, hey, hey. All right, so 253, 813. So we are looking to try to get to, as we're trying to get to the, almost 1,500 backers, which would be amazing. And Peelty, what's the math on it? If we are trying to get the 340,

Starting point is 04:42:31 how many people at 25 bucks do we need? So let's say, we're going to go back down here. And let's say, when we go to the stretch goals right here no not updated unless i have to refresh it you might have to refresh it he said just updated all right so i didn't refresh it so that might be why say go back down who's that oh that's cool mcs live taping experience okay that's the one that's that's the limited tickets i got it got it got it so that would make sense if it's updated because that wasn't there before uh there it is okay s en reunion show well it's not going to be s en but

Starting point is 04:43:06 that's that's fine it's not going to be a s again he's had 260 for my covering avian i said 270 but all right um i'll let him know yeah change yeah all all that is wrong all of that is wrong so two 260 260 is a a full cast christian harlough show all right full cast christian harlough show 261 is smet's kalanowski live stream two seven as Kalinowski covers the awards, 275 is right and 300 is right, but we need that 310 also. Right.

Starting point is 04:43:44 310 opens up the live event tickets. So yeah, all that needs to be changed. But hey, we're working together. Oh, Ms. Peelde, where do you go? There is. All right, I'm here. All right, let's see what else. Next one.

Starting point is 04:44:02 I can do one of those. I don't know if she's going to be around, but I can try. where is uh let's see at two where are we now or currently i'll tell you what if we get to i will try and at at 254 i'll call katie 254 i'll call katie and see what she's up to i don't know if she's around i can't care she's going to be around but i'll try she's in l.a this week i know that much she's in l. okay so it so it's so it's earlier her so she probably then she might might be around, but she might also be doing other stuff.

Starting point is 04:44:38 Um, okay. Iosha Yomatsu. It's crazy how buddy sent me a link to a Schmoder match 10 years ago. I was like, who cares about movie trivia on YouTube? And here I am glad later. Isn't that funny how everybody does that though? I mean, that's like, I wish, that's again, that's human nature where it's like, it's like, ah, movie trivia, how exciting can it be? It's like, but you, in the same way that we talk about like movies. So like, who cares about that premise?

Starting point is 04:44:57 Like, if you can make, even make it interesting for people in their interests, anything, you know? So. Absolutely. Yeah. So that's, okay. So there's a lot of events, man. Those live events. They're the best.

Starting point is 04:45:07 Yeah. So 254, I'll call Katie. 254 or 500 I'll call Riley. And 255 I'll call Brett Sherrod. How about that? Sounds good. Okay. Oh, yeah, of course I've seen this.

Starting point is 04:45:21 Soundwaves Chronicles. Christian, have you ever seen batteries not included? The design for Leah's Lola, Joy, and Obi-Wan series, a throwback to that design. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen batteries not, for sure. Oh, yeah. I've seen that. Yeah. Riley will be in there yet, definitely.

Starting point is 04:45:34 Joey's movie blog will Derek join the stream. Currently, I mean, like, again, I need to find out this one thing that's supposed to happen today. And when this one thing happens, if it does happen, then we might be able to throw some audibles. Who's that? That's my phone. That's correct texting me. It scared me. Okay, let's say.

Starting point is 04:45:58 I'd have paid good money to see Conan and Jay Leno. Me too. I don't see, I don't know about neither would ever do it. I think Conan would do it. I don't think, right now I also don't think Leno. Yeah. So Soundly Chronicle says 3,447 people needed at 25 bucks.

Starting point is 04:46:13 So that's at the 340. But what do we need for the 300 to do? For 300, we're trying to know. Where we are right now and what we need. So 300, just to hit that big, I mean, that to me is a major way. If we sign off the day-to-day at 300, that's a major deal.

Starting point is 04:46:33 Okay, what's this? Pildee, can you post the email in the general discord to reach out to Christian? But I got a Schmo's contact at gmail.com. What's wrong with AK? Is you all right? Okay, let me do. I'm going to check. I'll check Schmose Contact at gmail.com.

Starting point is 04:46:48 And I'll look right now. Let's see. I'm looking. How? A 1,800. 48 people to get to the goal. Well, how would it be. Say that again?

Starting point is 04:47:10 1,848 people at $25 will hit a $300. That's not a lot. Nope. Okay. So what was I looking at? No, Schmo's contact. Let me look. Let's see what AK is asking. I won't read it on the air, but I'm just going to see if I, if I got it. So checking Schmo's contact right now is, uh, no, no, no.

Starting point is 04:47:31 I don't see anything there. Um, I don't know. I'm looking I'm looking I think maybe he was asking for it again maybe he didn't hear you before what it was uh yeah so not seeing it okay all right okay Mike can film his Sydney sweet need bathroom no for real is he still owes you guys that one it does it's true son of a bitch son of a bitch okay let's see let's keep going at what level do you bring Kaiser on this show the six pack but we don't I don't know any open calling him would be one thing for sure Yeah. Joseph Ashley, do you think we have Carrie season two? Did it do what? It got it. It was an answer to earlier. That was one of the things I would call Katie about if we hit that.

Starting point is 04:48:18 I want to talk to her about Carrie. So we're at 253-8663. If we hit 254, I'll call Katie. And I'll take a, you know what I will do also? Whatever you guys want me to ask her, I'll highlight a couple questions for you, too, while I have her on the phone. But I got to get 254. We've got to do that before Sam and Ming get in here.

Starting point is 04:48:36 question. I told you I want to write a constantine pilot. I was wondering if you possibly send me the training pilot so that way I can see it a pilot. I'm not sending that out right now. But yeah, I mean, I understand that. But I'm just, I'm not, I'm not sending that out at the moment. Okay. Four hours ago, she tweeted she was getting a new tattoo. Every year we get a tiny tattoo for a daughter.

Starting point is 04:48:58 Okay. I mean, I don't know when she's getting it. It's okay. Let's try. Let me try. Is there a chance you might get Sam Whitmer or Freddie? well so I reached out to Freddie Freddy Freddy's got people

Starting point is 04:49:09 in town he's doing he Freddy rides me back right away he's the best I just I don't talk to Sam that much nothing not any no lawyer and so I'll talk to him as much okay anything else to see

Starting point is 04:49:23 not seeing where to add shrew down shirts to my pledge it's the same thing so Christopher I think that what the way that Craig mentioned that earlier was that there I think that depending on where the pledge is it depends on the shipping aspect of it too because it costs for the shipping.

Starting point is 04:49:36 So I don't think any, I forget at what pledge up, where it starts. But that's, that's how it works for the, for the add-ons there because you got to include the shipping of it. I believe it was over 25. So it was when you had 25 couldn't see it. Okay. So I don't know that for sure, though. I love something. Just go into your neighbor like billion.

Starting point is 04:49:55 She's just talk to people to give it to the Kickstarter. Talk to $3,000. Yeah, just tell them randomly just to put in $25 bucks. Hey, can it be like on the train? I'll just help people on 25 bucks to get on the train. how much do you get to wear a flat bill hat live fun the rest of the fun the rest of the campaign get us to 340

Starting point is 04:50:15 how about that? Nice yeah uh was katie and carrie yes she was she was good she's really good in carry there there he is Skywalker dollar question for peel if he can does the old call to action crew plan to react to the tournament I'm out of the game and plan to stay that way but I'll check out everyone else is doing.

Starting point is 04:50:37 I will say Kelsey did reach out to me about potentially and the gang bang, gang back together again. The gang bang. Yeah. It's a very different show.

Starting point is 04:50:48 That's a 300,000. It's a very different show. That's it, that's a full season. And I don't want nothing to do with it. Well, let me see where, okay,

Starting point is 04:51:00 so we got, um, right now. Yeah, so you guys are talking potentially doing it they are we actually some small inquiries and everything getting them all back together but they haven't talked a few of them in a bit so it's been a bit so we can do this is true you can find pilots trips on the internet

Starting point is 04:51:16 for sure um x factor wife and i saw heart of the beast of that to say is my best frug voice damn yeah i i'm i think we're going to wind up doing a reaction to that one nice um okay tvs too Hold on, hold on, hold on, I'm still looking. Okay. So that's everything we got so far. Okay. Well, it was in his live show.

Starting point is 04:51:48 So I did see that at one time. They asked him about like the Star Wars belt or Star Wars Championship. He's like, I never said. I can't remember what he said, but I was like, I don't know that. I didn't love the way he answered the question, for the honestly. But it was probably getting annoying to him. He was great with me on this mode. Like when I was at when I'd asked him, he was,

Starting point is 04:52:05 there was this whole thing that was going on. He was supposed to do, he was supposed to go up against Alex Damon in the third spectacular. And something happened with him in general. He said he couldn't do it on that day. He was going to do it the next day. And I can't remember where it was, but he just wasn't going to do it.

Starting point is 04:52:22 Mike, what will it take to get a green peeled deep with the whole Rogo? So we're back to the Shrek thing, huh? It doesn't work, guys. He tried before. It didn't work. So again, 254 for the K. thing. I think that we can do because we already have

Starting point is 04:52:35 260 for the, I mean, we can try 255 PLD. Jesus Christ. Want to 2.55 for Shrek? Fine. I'll do it. All right. So 255 PLD will paint himself up and dress up as a full Shrek cosplay. So that's perfect. If we get to 255.

Starting point is 04:52:58 We'll do. Yeah. Saul. So much about the called action who makes a lot of sense. Yeah, guys really go along. I guess so. Yeah. Hey, Mark, don't look. It's working.

Starting point is 04:53:09 Central gangbanger. I would C2A up in a pledge. Yeah. Yeah, that's what you got to do. So this is great, great call. So if we get to less than $1,200, PLD has to paint himself up and dress up as Shrek for a full thing. Do you know how much that's going to make me laugh? The one thing that really made me laugh at it was like, it's a stupid, stupid thing that we did in the earlier days of the, the Schmodel.

Starting point is 04:53:32 Mark Ellis. I don't even know where we found it, but we had this ridiculous, like, blonde, like Garthwig. And we were going over, like, the top 10 rankings. And he wore it, but he wasn't addressing it. And so it was killing me. He's like, what? What are he laughing? It was his delivery on it.

Starting point is 04:53:52 And just the fact, he looks so ridiculous in this. Do you remember it? I do. It was so ridiculous. It was so ridiculous. Yeah. I started to play it. Yeah.

Starting point is 04:54:03 And then do a gang bang, a Shrek, Princess Positive said. Oh, we have fun. Yeah, I like her mind's at. Yep, yep. So what I love, what I do love about my friends who don't do this that much is that they don't realize that, you know, we, we're cut, we have, we're cut to an hour, right? So they're supposed to be here at three. And we literally only have an hour with them. So let's say, I'm going to, I'll text them and double check.

Starting point is 04:54:33 they're probably looking for parking too yeah um oh somebody's oh mings here that doesn't shock me that mings that means that means the early one of course mings early i won't shame your kink yeah well so there we go so one of the things i'd like to have you guys do while we're here with chris or chris with ming and um and sam is um any questions that you guys have for us then please start asking. And then, yeah, PILD, if you can, if you can get some of these questions kind of starred, well, you just did that when I unstarted,

Starting point is 04:55:09 perfect. So more of those, and if there's any other things that people want, like all these other questions coming in, because Ming's coming in now. So we'll set Ming up, and I'm going to get my, PILD, you know what?

Starting point is 04:55:18 While I set up my shot, why don't you just, you take over first? Yeah, all right. So, Saul, how much not to have PLD, do you shrek? How about if we jump past it and go right to 258? Someone don't donate some big, like, buy the Schmodeon ticket, and I'll just pass it.

Starting point is 04:55:32 And I won't do it at that point. That's what I'll do. Joseph Ashley, a PLD dressing like the outlaw and have big ball to jump at them. I mean, that I might do for free because it'd be funny busts on Roka. But a roca would probably take offense. I'm going to guess. Let's say, I'll save that question sound wave Chronicles. Ryan Nelson in the shack and see anybody.

Starting point is 04:55:53 I'm in there as well. Yes, everybody's talking about that movie, Ryan. Everybody's talking about the movie. I haven't seen it yet, but I do want to. Let's see what you got going on here. Yes, you like what you like, Princess. Ming, in here, in the house. Going to get Sam in here as well.

Starting point is 04:56:06 Come on, guys, keep going. 253-8-6-3. I want to hear all about this stuff. I want to get writing. I want to get ready to go. PJ and I had our second summit for the movie Tribus from O'Don. We've broken down the rules. We've broken down the questions.

Starting point is 04:56:18 I started breaking the wheel slices that we're going to get. Going to add some wild cards. That should be a lot of fun. Any Galactus, any conspiracy theories, I believe, Did we really go to the moon? Oh, yeah. I definitely think we went to a moon. We didn't eat moon.

Starting point is 04:56:32 I don't know what moon, but we went to them. Let's see. When is the next invincible? Sir, we can ask Ming. That's what I'll start this question right for them. Because the demand to ask is coming up very, very shortly. Let's see what else we got. Ryan, I'll answer your question.

Starting point is 04:56:47 What's my take on the game tonight? Pain for the Patriots. Okay, I'm going to go wild on there. Let's see what we got here. Tom at Grunette, where did I get my dope hat from? Actually, my daughter bought me this hat a long time ago. Actually, I can't, I lie. I bought me a hat just like this, and it got so dirty and rubbed.

Starting point is 04:57:08 I had to buy a second one, so she had to buy me a second one for Christmas later on. But I believe, I don't know where it was now. Probably a hot topic type place. I'm going to guess. PLD. do a dick impression. Oh, God, I couldn't do a dick impression. I got that, like, a big cigar, you know, like, I'm not going to say anything. he gets you mad.

Starting point is 04:57:32 Let's say I'll start that for Ming. And I'll start that for Ed. How much for an S-E-N-Live auction to come back? You keep asking that, Mike. You keep asking that. I don't know what the music is. I mean, maybe someday everything will happen. Let's see.

Starting point is 04:57:49 Brandon. Brandon Salad. P.L.D. My Bulls fan. No, it's weird. I actually started liking sports in the 80s, early 80s. Right around that time, 85, 86. I started as a Bears fan because the Super Bowl shuffle won me over as a nine-year-old. Hey, but that year was the Red Sox Mets, and I kind of fell in love with the Red Sox Underdog Stories.

Starting point is 04:58:08 That's where I went with on that. Bulls are not bad. I'm a big Celtics fan because of Larry Bird. That's my cousin was a big Larry Bird fan, so I went that direction. Flare, PLD Brewers or the Rays. I got to go Brewers. Do it for Bob Yucer. I want to see the Brewers versus the Guardians because then it would have been Bob Uker versus Harry Doyle for Major League.

Starting point is 04:58:28 that's what I would have done, but now the raise did it all. I took out, took him out, unfortunately. Let's see. Puzzle Pubbles, I need to wear a brightly colored cowboy hat. Oh, I could do that. I could do that. Ryan, do you think the age of the live action comic book TV show is nearing its end? No, I don't think it's nearing its end.

Starting point is 04:58:50 It's slowing down. I think it'll slow down a bit different to getaway to different things. I think it will always be something that they want to try so they start failing all the time. Draven, how old was I when I started getting into Star Wars? That, my friend, I was four years old. The first movie I saw in theaters was The Empire Strikes Back. It changed my life.

Starting point is 04:59:12 And I remember being scared shitless of Yoda. Not Darth Vader, not anything else. It was when Yoda goes, you know, Luke goes, I won't be afraid. And the other goes, you will be. You will be. Yeah, I was done at that point. Start that. Sam, yep, PLD in a nutshell is Queen Ed Harris.

Starting point is 04:59:31 Absolutely. And she ripped this thing off. I kicked PLD off with a sheep. Kick PLD. And now we got Sam. I miss you, man. We got Sam and Ming. I'm slipping.

Starting point is 04:59:50 All right, here we go. Let's get you. Let's get you over here. We're going to get, now you guys get, so you guys never seen the dynamic with me and Sam and Ming. So we get you close. close. You guys are going to share the mic. Sam got me a coffee. She's nice. Let's see. I'm going to see if I can do those. I made a big week. Yeah. No, you got to work. You knew?

Starting point is 05:00:13 Yeah. So, all right. So what we're going to do, let's bring this over here. Make this a little bit. And then so there we go. Perfect. So we're going to talk to the audience here, Jay, who's one of the things. Because look at where we are. Right. now guys where we're currently at is 253 863 so you know so my my buddy and chris just remember that you got to go oh no try it again hello much better you know that's better much better so we're going to do um my so my buddy ming that's you my buddy my call callinowski the one who we're sure at at 260 no 270 we're going to send him to the avian awards which is a foreign awards i love it and we're going to say Is Penny going to be there? Oh yeah, Penny will definitely be there. She's probably winning a four-star of the year.

Starting point is 05:01:05 Maybe. Look that cheat. Got him look that teat. T. So our vision quest went up today. That went up too. You and I have to do, we got to finish invincible season four.

Starting point is 05:01:21 You got to get that going on. But we have the audience. Do you like it? I love it. Yeah. But I was thinking that because we, the three of us talked about doing a podcast together anyway. We were going to do like,

Starting point is 05:01:30 A lot of stories to tell. Because it's funny because we talked about this other day is that Sam and I were, we pretty much always got along for us. We hated each other. And it was just so funny. Like up until, up until high school. Oh,

Starting point is 05:01:42 we hated each other. Yeah. Yeah. Up until high school. Wait a minute. Hate is a strong word. Yeah. We hated each.

Starting point is 05:01:47 It was that elementary school. Yeah. Right. Elementary type of it. So not high school hate. No. Because, and I think I've told you this.

Starting point is 05:01:55 Like, so our mutual mutual friend, John, Severus. So he, we would hang all the time and I remember we were one time and it was like freshman year in high school and he went to cross. He didn't he went to Godose. So I went to

Starting point is 05:02:08 Holy Cross and I remember John going we're going to go hang out at wherever it was and he's like you know Mugachchi's going to be on like I don't know I'm going to go and then and then I went and we got you're such a good guy but that was the thing yeah we went and we hit it off and it was like two different people and we were we were laughing

Starting point is 05:02:24 our asses off and I remember him saying to me why didn't we get along I don't know and that was it and then and then we just smoked weed together for the majority and like I think when we got to like junior when I used to come back from college from like Florida State we were and it was like Christmas time it was always got together yeah in your basement yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we gotta bring out I should have brought the yearbook bro I know I have a lot of mullets going on there we got to get the podcast a lot of melots um so that's the best we can't fill all my muscles in the show so what we need what we need to try to do for

Starting point is 05:04:08 But what I want to do is get some of these questions from the audience because what we should do is I was talking about this too. And I said, we had discussed this. If you do like the first name of the person, like we get to certainly like the, because what I was going to talk to, we talked about this on Clire Live. It was like the first crush you ever had in, in elementary school. In elementary school. I don't know I know yours.

Starting point is 05:04:31 Yeah, so what? If you said, if you said the first name? Yeah, you guys know. They wouldn't know. They don't give a shit. They don't care. You want to bet? They want to know the name?

Starting point is 05:04:43 Because you guys can guess. You guys can guess the names. That would be more hilarious if the audience starts guessing the names of people because just take a queen's school. And they'll probably throw a random and they'll probably do it. But let's see. I'm going to see where we are first of all. See, we're at 253, 888 almost at...

Starting point is 05:04:59 What were we at, PLD? We're at 254 and we dropped? Is that where, where were we? No, you were, just before? Yeah. 253. Oh, okay. You went up a little bit.

Starting point is 05:06:07 So there's a lot going on right now as we're finishing this thing up here. Okay. We have to, I guess those ones that we covered, a lot of questions. Not for the pilot. In general, for trending,

Starting point is 05:06:23 you mentioned potential flashpacks, even longevity. In fact, you could go six seasons. Would the show ever go outside the day-to-day reality like dreams? I don't know about dream sequence, but there's certainly a flashback. And I don't know.

Starting point is 05:06:33 I can't say no. Sam is what's so funny is that Sam when both Sam and Ming both read the pilot. Well, no, actually, that's not true. Ming read the pilot. Sam hasn't read the pilot, but Sam, but Sam, but Sam, no, but Sam's been, Sam's been more invested in the story than anybody. So I really can't, I can't give her shit. But she's like, well, wait a minute.

Starting point is 05:06:53 Where does it go when they do this and this? She loves martini. Yes, yes. And, yes. Yes. So, you know, he had to tell me because I haven't had the time the time to read the, and he built to say something, because you know when you read the fucking script, right? And I'm like, fuck you.

Starting point is 05:08:17 Well, I mean, he kind of is, right? I mean, that's kind of what we talked about because he was a, because when he was performing, he would get himself in the drinking and all that kind of shit is that the thing he kind of gets himself addicted to is making sure he's, making sure he's in shape.

Like our right. I mean, you have to like push a little bit more of the push to boundaries. And I think that that was where, you know, I think he, you're going to see his roots. And I know that there's definitely an episode where he comes back to New York for sure. And I think, you know, his, you'll see like where he grew up. And that's because where is he going to be based is he going to be based? Is he going to be based? He's Long Island. Long Island. Why Long Island? Because I know it more. Because I know it more. right now, you know, and as a, and, and I'm writing. Can't change that? Yeah, I can change the Queens estimate, but I also think for where he grew up and what, where his family came from was more Long Island than Queens. Okay. Like, because

Starting point is 05:17:09 we all grew up very differently than he did. Okay. Like where his, they had a little bit of money. Oh, okay. Okay. They had some stuff too when they were kind of grown up, but like, but it wasn't the most secure house, you know, and like so, yeah, there's, I mean, there's a lot of backstory. Well, that's good. You can still push a New York thing from a lot. Yeah, definitely. Mr. I, crap and shits. The beautiful Sam is in the house. Hopefully no protein farts from Ming. I hate to see him smoke out Christian and Sam.

Starting point is 05:19:52 That's the amount of shit you've watched over the last two years. We talked about this last night, though, to put them all. It's very difficult to say what. You know what? Movie-wise, I think Endgame was so good. It was so good for me.

Starting point is 05:20:07 Like it's got to be, I didn't think I was going to react and I was going to be that emotional over it. And I think it took me for a loop a little bit because I was like, who was this girl crying over this, right? But I think one of the best shows that I've ever said. And I, it's hard is Game of Thrones. And I love Game of Thrones. And I love Game of Thrones.

Starting point is 05:20:26 Everybody says that. You would love. I've watched one episode. Oh, it's so, it's so your, it's so your type of time. A lot of fucking going on in that show.

Starting point is 05:21:05 it's an incredible movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one I was like, yeah, like that crying. Yeah.

Starting point is 05:21:11 Mr. I, crap and shits, I still think you should do a biweekly or monthly ladies night show with Roxy, Chris and Sam. That can be very entertaining. You know,

Starting point is 05:21:19 it would be in both, I mean, because Sam would tell you, like, as far as she's not, she doesn't, I don't think, I don't think,

Starting point is 05:21:25 I'm wrong, but I don't think you feel like you'd want to host yet. I'm not ready. Right. So, but she could definitely be on there with. I could do this kind of stuff like where everybody else. Yeah. And so like, but Roxy and Chris could host in their sleep. So like we could potentially do that to you.

Starting point is 05:21:37 I just want to one of the goals. All right. All right. We'll set a goal because Roxie and Chris will do it for sure. Oh my God. I love them. So why don't we do? What are we at right now?

Even when we were setting up, we were setting up, when I was setting up, he goes, he's like, get the water bottles on the table. Everything. Everything. Just do it. Yesterday I was picking up glasses. I was like, oh, yeah, everywhere. But I get so excited when I find them. There's like new ones. I was, I was, I was excited when I find new glasses. You know, that would be a good one because they've seen those trends before where people go out of you guys, who is the what?

Starting point is 05:27:16 And then we do the point to. Oh, yeah. So in your comments, ask question like, who's most likely to do this? Who's most likely to do that? And then PLD can light those up. And then we'll do the point on those and see how well we know each other as friends. You should tell that story about the, oh shit. I think I told it once before, but basically that was in class.

Starting point is 05:27:36 At this point, they already kicked me out of the class because I go to the other. You were in a different. They had to move me because we just getting in trouble all the time. Yeah. You were in E2. They moved me. Oh, you moved you. In eighth grade moved me out of the place.

Starting point is 05:27:50 Oh, wow. It was pretty terrible. Yeah, I was an eight two and I was definitely. And so what happens, you would used to be able to go. I would call my mom and tell her that I was sick all the time and go home and I wasn't. But I had used up all of my, I used up all of them. Yeah. And they said, you can't do that anymore.

Starting point is 05:28:06 And I said, well, what do I do? So I told my friend at the time's guy, Victor Garcia. And I said, listen, I said, I'm going to, I'm going to fake a faint. And I go. And I go, but when I do, in order to really sell it, you have to scream, holy shit, he fainted because that seems real and they won't believe it. And I mind you, we're in Catholic school. Yeah, I, yeah.

Starting point is 05:28:28 Eighth grade Catholic school. So I go, you couldn't even chew gum and stuff. And I remember saying to myself as I'm sitting there going, if I don't sell this. And so for anybody else who says, I need acting classes, go fuck yourself. I tell everybody in eighth grade that I'm seeing. sitting there going, um, okay, it's time to do this. And if I, if I don't sell it, you're fucked. I'll probably get expelled.

Starting point is 05:28:53 Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. So you had to add on to all the other shit that you did. Yeah. And so I said, I'm going to go. I'm going to make the move. And so I have to fall and not brace myself. Yeah. Yeah. I had to be like, I just had to like, I had to like, my whole body would just have to collapse. Yeah. Yeah. So I went, boom. And then I'll, I hear, holy shitty fainted and I don't know people were screaming and yelling in the hallway was going crazy

Starting point is 05:29:19 I was in the road and I was like he's full right so but my arch nemesis was my teacher Mr. Piergo and he came and he did you remember what Hoff stood for head on flag so he would he was he was bald he would walk by the flag and every time he

Starting point is 05:29:39 would always brush his head and the whole and I would go haf no no you got to go back a little bit He told all of us in the class every time he comes in when his head hits the flag. Oh, I told everybody. Yes. We all have to yell, ha. But that's why I said, but when I started doing it first, I was going,

Starting point is 05:29:58 and then when he left, I go, his head keeps, I was, I was 12 or 13. I go, his head keeps hitting the flag. So every time he comes in and we do it, the whole class has to go, ha. And the whole class would go, ha. And he never understood. We didn't go hop. We used to scream. He used to scream that shit.

Starting point is 05:30:16 Pipe down, he used to say. Pipe down. Pipe down, sunny boy. Pipe down, sunny boy. A home boy used to smoke in the school building. Yeah, yeah. It was a crazy time. But anyway, so, but Mr. Pierrego came in and checked him, he goes,

Starting point is 05:30:31 if you're, if you're faking this thing, oh, and I played dead. I played dead. I played dead. I played dead because then he started realizing that he, in his head, he's thinking it's real. Yeah. So I remember him saying to me, but not in a bad way, but almost like for me, a victorious way,

Starting point is 05:30:47 he went, you're going to the principal's office. And but in all like, you need to go home. And I was in my head, I'm going, yeah. Right. And my mom, the second pulls me up. You know, the first thing she says, you're full of shit. I knew it. Yep.

Starting point is 05:31:01 That's what she said. I'll never forget it. You're full of shit. You're not fooling anybody. That's what she said. Anyway, we start crap and shit. Pause it. Aye.

Starting point is 05:31:13 Ming is Danny's training. No, I think he's going to be my real trainer when I'm there. Hell yeah. I'm saying he's going to be my real one. Red Carver, I want Sandy McCougas manager. Talked about that. And potential dancing would be great hyping up the crowd. Oh, hell, yeah, let's do it.

Starting point is 05:31:25 Eric Zed, do you plan on doing any schmow downs or screenings for your series in New York City? For your series? What do you mean as far as schmodowns or screenings for your series in New York City? We're only doing, we're recording the 16-person tournament. But screenings, screenings for the actual, like, premiere could be in both places, L.A. and New York. Ioshi. Sam, thanks for for a person

Starting point is 05:31:46 close, close. You're doing good. Keep on. Hermosa. For a cure. Moniqua. Dale.

Starting point is 05:31:55 What is it? Dallieueva. Foricca. Foric you know. Oroz can pollo. Cafe with leach. Hey. Silly cyst.

Starting point is 05:32:06 Sam is here. Literally just got on. Hell yeah. There we go. Christian, the 270 goal is hilarious. And funny for Mike, if you reach.

Starting point is 05:32:12 I'm telling you. All right. Funny, Matt Sarah comes in wearing some great shirt. That'd be really good. First thing I said when I walked in, I'm like, nice fucking shirt. You should have told me. I want to wear a gray shirt.

Starting point is 05:32:21 I got a Veneck though. It's a little different. Sam, you're the best and look always amazing. I mean, you rock and I'm still waiting on those home workouts. Oh, yeah. I know they're coming. You can do that. Yeah.

Starting point is 05:32:31 I'm actually writing some. Oh, this is a great story. Sam reacting to Finstock nonsense would be amazing. She already has reacted to the Finstock nonsense. When we went to an event, and he was hitting on her on. mind, remember that? That guy?

Starting point is 05:32:44 Finstock, yeah. That's your, that's your, that's your friend. Yeah. Yeah. She's like, she's like, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's a lot. I wasn't ready. The whole night, no, no one is. No one is.

Starting point is 05:32:58 It was the night that we went out. I was going to say, do remember some dude. Like, not bothering the shit, like, not bothered. Not bothered. Just hit, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you'd get it. That's why I was sitting there like, wait a second. I kind of remember this.

Starting point is 05:33:09 That was that night. That was the night we came on like at five in the morning. Yep, Sam, that's when Pinto fell in the trash. Pinto always falls in the trash. Well, so funny thing about my friend Pinto, I've told you guys before, is that like, and he's, I've always talked about it. But we go out drinking for some reason in the city, where we were all going, we were all out that night.

Starting point is 05:33:26 And I couldn't go out that night because I had an early flight. And I couldn't go afterwards because all them went out. And I said to Ming, I said, just look out for Pinto. I go, because once you get to a certain point of the night, he falls in the trash. And he goes, he goes, what do you mean he falls in the trash? I go on the city, they put the trash out all the time. And they file. And apparently they've cleaned it up now.

Starting point is 05:33:48 But like they put it in in the trash. He's like, and he goes, okay. They kind of not dismissing me, but like how ridiculous that stuff. Yeah. I get a phone call from Ming and probably like one in the morning, two in the morning, laughing hysterically. He goes, dude, Pinto just fell on in the trash. He literally just fucking fell in. It was like.

Starting point is 05:34:04 He stumbled over to the left. And that was the end of right. And I was like, what the face first. I was like, I'm not picking. him up yeah you might want to refresh freshener yeah I'm refresh whoa oh oh look at that jump dude no what the fuck so that is what I was talking about what is going on so we are now guess I was going to the aviann's my count now he's going to the avian awards I go with him I can't ask you go to the avon awards we are officially doing the we have a lot that we're doing now so I want to

Starting point is 05:34:41 It was a massive joke. We have an executive producer that are, one of our executive producers, Derek McMahon, who is the, he is the executive producer who helped us boost to one point and came in and helped us get involved with Rondavu and everything too. But one of the other reasons that we're both Derek and now our new executive producer, J.C. Rifenberg, who also just made a massive contribution, is now an executive producer of the show. and he and that's that's why I'm confident now 100% that we are going to be doing

Starting point is 05:35:15 the rendezvous thing because they knew that that's why I've been talking about it because you know J.C. was coming in so J.C. Risenberg is now an official producer we are 279. That's three that was crazy. So we're that's where we stand right now. And so we've Mike Kalinowski's going to the Havian Awards. Nice. He's maddy. He's got a long time girl friend you know what would be great is I send her with him actually please I know and then um so let's let's see so I'm so now so now do the right thing Christian so now we're at so 275 I announced so at 275 I'm going to announce out oh no we are 270 oh shoot so I can I can

Starting point is 05:35:58 there's a lot of things you got to do this now so let me do this um so I am thrilled to announce this and I talked about this a while ago JC I'm so thank you J.C. I got along very, very well with J.C. J.C. was kind enough when we were going through the COVID stage and we didn't have, we didn't have a place to shoot Jemowdown at this point when it was still coming out of the pandemic and J.C. gave me a call and he's like, listen, if you guys want to do the show here for a little bit while we're in a transition period, he's like, please. And he didn't. He had any scummin villainy was a place that he built out. It's so cool. It looks like,

Starting point is 05:36:38 something right out of scum and villainies like Star Wars. You'd love it now because you're such a Star Wars geek but like he he built that it's like a total it's like a total geek bar and so they built the same time of thing out with Rendezvous which is this new place with again Derek McMahon that sounds like fun but J.C. was

Starting point is 05:36:54 so kind in helping us bring the Shmo down to life during that time and now we're doing it again and he came on board and Derek McMahon helped kind of shepherd that whole conversation between ourselves and J.C. again and put us back in contact and

Starting point is 05:37:11 here we are. Now, now, now, I'm going to go Google it. I know. So here, you should. So Ron, it's in Burbank. You're probably going to be, you're going to be there. You're going to get to see Rhonda. So the other thing, so now what I want to do, and I think she'll have never been, have you no. Oh, wow. I've never been to. I went to L.A. like for a couple of hours. I was right. Further to me is Vegas. Me too. In Arizona. That's it. Like, here we go. Let me make this in that. Hit me.

Starting point is 05:37:45 It really was just a 4th of July. And what a way to lead into this? He was the best guy around. What about the people he murdered? What murder? All right. So what do you think about this? The dirty, dirty animals.

Starting point is 05:38:30 But what I want to say is, as I mentioned this, one of the things, So this was something that was great. I'm a big fan of the Duplas brothers. They have just done incredible, incredible work, both Jay and Mark. And I said that the Baltimore runs was a movie that I loved last year. I was, again, so excited to hear this that about a year ago, Shulie Harrell, who was a great producer. she is officially she has been a producer now of and i was told you know andrew and i talked about

Starting point is 05:39:09 he's like when we hit 275 you can announce her right because like it's like that's a big that's a big announcement right there to say like yeah we yeah like we've we've got shooly so the team we have shooly harrel we have wendy o'brien we have um uh andrew fried and then on our cast now we get Kevin fucking polly that's crazy to me I when you told me that I was like What thought? Yeah. So, so that's sick. That is sick.

Starting point is 05:39:35 So we have. What do you got to say? Your line. Good shit. Good shit. Yeah. Good shit. So there we go.

Starting point is 05:39:42 So that's, so what we, we hit all those things. And now we're, I mean, hell man. So we're 279. What's been great. 379. And then where we're going to go. Let's say, I'm looking at these again. So where we just hit 270.

Starting point is 05:39:57 So now the next big thing here is, so the. the at the we're now 20 just like 21,000 away and if we hit 300 we're guaranteed to do a shmodeum live event where Mike Kalinowski will play against Kevin Smets for the title now we're not far away at all no we're and so the live event so we're going to do all the stuff at rendezvous where the tournament will happen and then the winner of that will go on to play the champion in a live event like you came to and we're going to rent the place out where it most likely to be in L.A. but we'll do like a really big event there with two big events and we're right around the corner. And if we hit 310, 310 will then open up 10 exclusive tickets to that event.

Starting point is 05:40:41 But we got to get to that. We can do it. We can do it. I think so. So, all right, let's explode. It's the shit eating rent. It's the shit eating rent. And then that's like you like on the side.

Starting point is 05:40:59 Yeah, yeah. I don't know if that's the clip, but I thought he doesn't even know it's coming. I just leave him starting to crack. There's a few other ones. There's a few other ones. That's why they kicked me out of the eighth grade class and put me in the other one. It's so true. Joey Matt,

Starting point is 05:41:11 so glad to see Sam. Here's on point today. Oh, thank you. Thank you. How about mine? Did you and T. Jump became a member?

Starting point is 05:41:17 Thank you so much. Mr. I crap and shits. Hey, Sam, I highly recommend checking out Star Wars Skeleton crews, a character that might become your second favorite, favorite after Grogo named Neil.

Starting point is 05:41:28 Yeah, people who aren't really want you to watch. I love Grogo. You know what? That's the one show that I could watch with you for the first time. I've never. I've seen two episodes. Really?

Starting point is 05:41:35 Two and a half, maybe. Rogo's my little guy. X Factor, are you ready for the Giants ass swimming Sunday? Hey, you better watch it. Texas will boot your asses. You better watch it. JJ, two picks, a fumble and five sacks. You better watch it.

Starting point is 05:42:05 But maybe I'd do that with Ming because we did Mortal Kombat. So maybe. Sell X2.3, $70, I'm in, bitches. Hell yeah. See, this is it. Get on, get on board now. Guys, we're getting close. I put on my Instagram.

Starting point is 05:42:16 I said, listen, I have 4,000 followers on my Instagram. If each bit, each of you put 25, we're good, we're golden. Look, 279, 4-4, we're almost at 280. What was our, what was our 280? What was our 280? I don't know. Do we have a 2-80? We should probably do it 280.

Starting point is 05:42:30 Oh, wait, so shit. Did we do? And we have, now we got to do the girl, the, the, the, female show, this S-E-N, the- You said 265. Yeah. Oh, shit. So we got to do one of those, too.

Starting point is 05:42:40 So now we got to come up with the 280 PLD. Come up with, all right, let's see. Oh, yeah. Better late than ever. I just pledged. Roxy put in $30,000. Roxy. Thank you, Roxy.

Starting point is 05:42:51 Roxy's the best. Roxy, we're going to do. I think I got Roxy on board because we were going to do the, the All-Lady Show. That would be great to do. I would love to do that actually live, like, in person. Yeah, I know.

Starting point is 05:43:03 another eye fan girl. There's a, there's a way that we can potentially do that. But let's see. All right. I want to see Mr. I crap and shits. Who else would have loved to see Kristen Ming and Sam as teenagers together? Sam one had anything to deal with us at that point.

Starting point is 05:43:18 Teenagers? Teenagers, depending. I kind of went off on my own. Yeah, on your own. That's true. St.

Starting point is 05:43:23 Agnes is not sure. Yeah. I was the only one. Yeah. Haskell, I can't wait for Kristen's rewatch. Sam's reaction. I was telling her about this last night. I think she's going to dig it.

Starting point is 05:43:31 All right, here we go. Soundwave Chronicles. Who's most likely to send their food back at a restaurant? Me? Mm-hmm. I think. Definitely not me, so it's one of you two motherfuckers. Yeah.

Starting point is 05:43:44 I feel like you're very, very picky with where you eat. I don't see. I'm pointing at my wife, but she's not here. You go pointing to me? Yeah, I mean, I'll point in my side. I don't, I don't know you. Sadie, definitely. Yeah, Sadie.

Starting point is 05:43:58 Oh, no, yeah. She's not here, but right now, Sadie. No, Sadie, I don't, I don't really, I don't do that. I don't like doing that. But I just say that. I'm picky. You're picky at where you eat. So like I feel like you're eating where I eat.

Starting point is 05:44:10 But if I order something, I get it. Unless it's like really. I got a piece of raw chicken once. Yeah. Did you send it back? Yeah. You got to cook this. Yeah.

Starting point is 05:44:18 I'm like, I'm like, guys. You know, it's like that's a mushroom. I go, no, it's a piece of raw chicken. So, uh, let's say. Most likely to defer with a teacher. Yeah. Yeah. I raised my hand.

Starting point is 05:44:30 Yeah. Most likely to get in the fight with someone that would beat your ass. Sam What would you say? Who do you say? Oh, Sam. I even said one of my videos, girl, kick your ass. Ace Money. Out of the three, who's most likely to eat another human being to survive?

Starting point is 05:44:47 This is important. Hell no. I'm picky with my shit. To survive? To survive? I don't know, dude. I think to survive would be you. Maybe.

Starting point is 05:44:55 I don't know. I think you'd figure it because he's only one that can build stuff also. Important something else, bro. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think so. Um, was Ming's first crush Ms. Margo the nun who would slap him with a ruler. No.

Starting point is 05:45:09 No. No. We did. We did have nuns. I got hit by, uh, I got hit by a ruler. Yeah. Back and then I'll never, I'll never, like one or two nuns that were actually teaching. There was a guy that our, um, sister.

Starting point is 05:45:19 Three Sam. Yeah, there was a guy in our class that I remember got slapped in the ass and went up in the air like this and didn't even, didn't even make a, uh, a peep. Just like elevated in the air. They got away with so much shit. Oh, they did. I got choked by Ms. Jacobson and picked me up my fucking. my fucking off my seat

Starting point is 05:45:34 I was all red hit. She was like four foot six. But she was a bowl. She was no joke. No. And she was at my family party. And you know what? She was at my 13th birthday.

Starting point is 05:45:43 Yeah. She was always nice to me. That's why I got choked and raised and she still was teaching. That's not how you want to get choked and raised. I'm telling you more. I like the mic, Sam. Hit the mic.

Starting point is 05:45:59 Somewhere Penny Barber just woke up. Pussy lady. two there's more of these questions are going to come up now watch ming's first crush miss margaret we did that one okay so uh draven marks question sam sam oh okay i should have brought them yeah uh mike out of the three who's the best uh at video games and and who can do impression sam or ming well if we're going to do the first uh video games i i game every so often i don't know okay you do still okay so then we'll probably go him i mean yeah because uh but as far as do Sam Rameen, I don't know if you're one of us.

Starting point is 05:46:33 I know you're good at you. Yeah, but either you two. Yeah. Yeah. That's a different. That's a different game though, Mike. Billy Atwood, looking forward to season four of the invincible reaction to you and me. We're getting to them. Also, love you, Sam. You're awesome. Thank you. Silly. Sist. Sam, is there any franchises or shows you've always wanted to watch that you haven't yet? So, you mentioned this a couple of times.

Starting point is 05:46:55 Yeah. And a couple of my friends have mentioned it to me. Breaking Bad, apparently. Oh, we're going to watch it. Yeah. And someone told me the other day, they were like, Sam, you need to watch Breaking Bed. Like, you need, and apparently someone... I'm going to tell Christine the same thing.

Starting point is 05:47:06 Someone passed away from that show recently. Yeah, so we had, so he played his son. We actually had him on our show. Hey, who? Oh, my God, R.J. Middy played it. He played, he played Walt Jr. Get out of here. Yeah, and...

Starting point is 05:47:21 Yeah, he's like last week or something. Yeah. Yeah. And so... Oh, shit. And so we had him on the show about 13 years ago or whatever. it was. Really?

Starting point is 05:47:30 Oh, hold on a second. Hey. Hi. You're live on the air. I can always tell when you're live on the air, you sound different. I always sound like, I'm like, hey, how's it going here? How's the weather in Detroit? So right now, my friend Sam is on with me, and she's geeking out because she's now a big,

Starting point is 05:47:50 a big fan. Oh, my God, I love me so much. You know, and also, Katie, you know, I just watched it. And I told you, I texted you the other day, but, um, You're so menacing and so great in Carrie. I just wanted to tell you. Oh, thank you. It's always fun and challenging to play somebody that does the unthinkable,

Starting point is 05:48:16 that's somebody that we can't relate to, you know? Yeah. And it's the challenge is finding what they do and trying to make it relatable, which is weird, right? especially when it's what Amanda's been up to. So, you know, now we're at a place which is so crazy, though, is that Vivian is like a, is now she's 15 years old, by the way. Oh my God, stop it.

Starting point is 05:48:40 Yeah. And so she is, she loves Carrie in general. She has read the book so many different times, but she was, she, we've been watching it together and we're just finishing up the rest of, of something else like one of the last things. Yeah. But she like again, you were, you were terrifying all of us as we were watching it. And even Sadie, who knows you, was just like, oh, she's really, she's really goodness.

Starting point is 05:49:05 I guess she's just really good. Yeah, you're really good. Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. I know that it was such a, you know, Amanda was, she comes in and she comes out. She comes in. She sort of like, you know, drops a bomb and then leaves, so to speak. So it's just like, my friend, we got you.

Starting point is 05:49:23 It's been eating too much protein. So I also get a I get an update you get from people as they let me know this. You're getting a new tattoo today? I got no, I got it yesterday. Oh, okay. Or the day before. We were in L.A.

Starting point is 05:49:40 Okay. To shoot some of the Battlestar Reactica. And while we were there, I was like, hey, we're sort of like 10 months behind on our daughter's last tattoo. We should get that. Yeah. So we called Cacho and he fit us in. And then unfortunately, we've got to go back in two months and get the next one because we always get them on her birthday and we just missed last year.

Starting point is 05:50:01 Oh, well, there you go. So that's really awesome that you're doing that. And then I was also going back and forth with you because we were talking about, you know, the, well, yesterday, I, I was, off air, I was talking to her about you. But I had Wendy O'Brien on the show today. Oh, yeah. She's just great. We're excited to have her. We announced Julie Harold just now as one of our producers.

Starting point is 05:50:20 And I told you we announced Kevin Pollock on the show. Which is so huge. I know my reaction was what was my reaction. You're like that's, no, you, you, you love, you just were raving about how much you disrespect and how brilliantly was, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. So we're pumped about that, but when, so when, do you make it out to New York at all? I mean, I do.

Starting point is 05:50:41 I do. Like a girlfriend my just was like, hey, we're having a gallery opening, will you please come? And I unfortunately can't get there fast enough. But, so I do come to New York, not as much with the two kids. but I do come to New York as I'm giving my son who has the flu his Tylenol right now. Oh man. Okay. So we got hit with everything, man.

Starting point is 05:51:02 I know. Kids like had the hands foot and the house and then the the oh my God it's like we Yeah. Oh my God. That's painful. We've gotten all of it. So anyway. All right.

Starting point is 05:51:15 Well before I get it, thank you for calling about the audience. That's why I'm distracted. Normally I would just be like, hey guys, let's talk forever. Yeah. Well, the audience sent two questions. The audience sent two questions in, so we'll answer those and I'll let you go if that's okay with you. Okay. All right, the first one.

Starting point is 05:51:28 Would you ever consider a serial killer movie? I think you would literally kill. Oh, my God, of course. Yeah, you'd be great. Oh, my God, I would love that. I would love that. You know me. I love that shit.

Starting point is 05:51:40 I love playing complicated and crazy and it's so much fun. And I've never been able to go like full crazy. Yeah. So. And then Princess Positive says, how the heck does Katie manage momhood with your busy schedule? Oh man, I don't know. I don't know. From your mouth to God's ears.

Starting point is 05:51:59 Number one, the first and foremost is that I have a partner who is amazing and we support each other. And when he's working and we just sort of go back and forth. Couldn't do it without him. My in-laws are literally here for a month right now. So that's how. And then also just really lucky, right? Like, you know, we're in a position where we had help for a while. we haven't had help for the last year.

Starting point is 05:52:23 But, you know, when we need it, we have the ability to do that. And that's something that's vitally important. And it's one of the reasons we moved into Oregon as well to be closer to my family. So we have that as well, right? And it's amazing that you're able to do that. And like you said, it really is important with just having support in general. Yeah. And I'm glad that you have that.

Starting point is 05:52:42 And I'm glad, I mean, really happy for what you're doing right now. And I was excited to see. And congrats, I think that it said it got picked up for season two. So I got to watch. It did. So we'll see. All right, Katie, I let you go. Thank you for calling in, as always.

Starting point is 05:55:28 Yeah, it was fucking good. And we went, but. How come I wasn't invited? I hadn't talked to you at that point. Plus, it was all dudes. And, and so we went and he had a joke. He said, Ray, a doe, a female, no, is a D, a doe, a female deer. Ray, the guy who fucked her ass.

Now, we are so excited because a lot, and I'm bringing my next two guests. But as I mentioned, so we are 279-494. We are not far away from the 300 goal. And if we hit the 300 goal, that is when we are going to get the live event. the winner of the tournament will play for the championship. Now, I'm going to bring in my first guest, who you guys know and has helped me out tremendously help building out my channel and giving me advice and there's a producer of this show. That is Greg Alba. Hello, Greg.

Starting point is 05:58:56 What's up? How are you feeling? It's crazy, dude. We're almost there. That's nuts. Are you feeling okay? Yeah, I'm just, you know, it's like, it's like, let's go, let's go. but you know we got to a place now the audience has just been so amazing that we can now we're

Starting point is 05:59:11 filming at rendezvous which you have experience of we're going to talk about that in in a second but i i called this gentleman that we're about to bring in and i called him and i said hey listen if we do this thing where we do a live event how would you feel about putting your championship on the line and and he said oh all right as he left we did and i love working with them i love talking to I want to hang out with them again because I haven't done it in a while. And every time I'm in L.A. He always comes out and sees me and I love talking with them. And we always have a great conversation.

Starting point is 05:59:43 And that's the champ. Either one and only ladies and gentlemen, Sam Levine is here. Oh, hello. Nice to have you, Sam. Oh, it's so nice to be here. What's going on, fellas? How are you, champ?

Starting point is 05:59:55 So you're ready to do this again? No, of course not. I've never been ready. Not a single time. It's going to be. I do it anyway because I love you. I know you do. And I do, I do know that you're, that even in hearing it in your voice,

Starting point is 06:00:10 you're like, you didn't say this, but I felt it when it was, I'll do this for you is what, is what it ultimately was. And so we're, what we're doing now, and I want Greg to be able to talk about this, too, because I'm, I'm familiar as Sam, as you are too, and we shot at the scum and villainy can'tina, which was cool. It really helped us kind of get back on track when J.C. was so kind of. help us out. Now they have this rendezvous restaurant and inside of where the AMC Burbank is and we'll be shooting the tournament there for two days. The live event will be somewhere completely

Starting point is 06:00:47 else. But Greg, tell me a little bit about this or about rendezvous. What's going to be so special for? We have exclusive tickets, by the way, for audience right now. I think there's like seven left where you get, because the competitors, all the competitors and everybody who's going to be there we'll have tables and be able to eat and drink. Sam, that was always one of the things, too. Like, we don't get like pizzas, but now we're going to have open, we're going to have the, we're going to have the bar, we're going to have the, we're going to have the restaurant, we're going to go order food, we're going to have all these things.

Starting point is 06:01:17 But Greg, what, what is it about Rondava that you like taping your show at? Well, really quick, I want to make sure I have the right mic on, right? I got a message here in the chat. Okay, cool. So Scum and Villany is often referenced like it's not officially called This is people will call it like, to sum it up in short conversation, they'll say the Star Wars bar, just the Star Wars theme bar. But that was designed to be a bar where you can go hang out at and people eventually started doing live shows there where they had to start orchestrating. Where can we put these performers to go at where rendezvous is going to be so much more than something that feels like it's referencing Star Wars.

Starting point is 06:01:55 They want to have all kinds of different fandom invited into this, which is much more appropriate when you have it like. literally right downstairs from AMC, Burbank 16, and they're designing it in a way where it incentivizes and supports having more live shows. Because like Scumman Villany is so fun to perform at it. I've done it there, but it is a bit of an awkward setup when you first. So that makes me happy.

Starting point is 06:02:20 So this is more built for shows. Absolutely. Yeah, they're building it specific as they saw what they can do with Scum and Villain. Now, what can you do when you can make it a little bit more, you know, comfortable? It was tough. It was tough. Sam, remember we had to like walk through the bar to get there.

Starting point is 06:02:36 Yeah. It's very challenging. You're going to, somebody who's going to get sued. You had to walk back behind the bar to get to the stage. Right. And you didn't know who was there for you and who was just there going to his coming villainy that?

Starting point is 06:02:48 Right. It felt bad. Like there are people working here. Right. Exactly. Excuse me, sir. Can you, can you move past so Chandru can do his, uh, his little dance behind you as you're making a mohito.

Starting point is 06:02:58 So, um, but it's going to be epic. It's going to be really cool. It's going to be really, really awesome. I can't wait for it. And then Samso separately outside of it when we hit that 300 goal, where you will be playing, you know, the winner. Now I know outside of Rachel, who is confirmed to be playing in the tournament, who do you think has to, let's say Rachel is, we'll say,

Starting point is 06:03:19 we'll say the top two people. Who are the top two people that you think will, that are the people that you know are in it? Do you think most likely that you might be seeing at that last, event should you be playing for that championship again okay i mean obviously uh i cannot in the same i can't say schmo down and not in the same breath not say dan merle right but we all know and love uh and as far as i'm concerned should hold that belt for all time but that's a story for another day uh it is still technically in my possession so uh you know obviously i'd love to see him there um i i don't know

Starting point is 06:03:58 Who else? Marisol. Marisole Maki. Marissel McKee. Is Mike Kalinowski part of this? Kalinowski's part of it. Okay. He's always a good wild card.

Starting point is 06:04:09 Obviously Marisle. Obviously Adam Collins. Right. You can't, you know, these are huge contenders, huge players. I would be happy to play against any one of these people. Yeah. But if you could somehow bring back Finstock. Oh, he's going to manage.

Starting point is 06:04:25 I don't know. You go because you can sit. Managing. Because you consistent. a waste of a spot. You can just wipe the floor with him. I do have to ask, here is a comment that was made that I want to see how you feel about this.

Starting point is 06:04:38 John Roka, never short on words, said that you should not have the championship. It has been too long that you've had it and that I'm favoring you from letting you have the championship and that you should be playing in the tournament and not be playing of the this we don't you don't get to hold on to the championship that long to which i obviously refuted that but your comments to the outlaw oh um what an asshole i don't know what a dumb thing to say what an asshole put that on his shirt put it on a shirt what an asshole he also well he also said the same thing about Kevin Smets and Kevin Smets and Kevin Smets and speaking of Kevin Smets.

Starting point is 06:05:32 Look at that. Double Smith. Hey. Hey. Hey, guys. Can we put him in the squares? So Kevin is here for you guys because Kevin came up with some games that we, that I wanted to play with you guys real quick. Oh.

Starting point is 06:05:46 But before we did, I just want to say, you know, about the show, you know, with trending coming up. And we are currently, we're making the show, 279. 544 currently what we're at. We're doing this show. Well done. Thank you. And we're pumped about it. But I just think, I mean, because shit.

Starting point is 06:06:06 Greg, how are you feeling about it? You're a producer in the show. Last night, I couldn't sleep. It was like 1.30 in the morning. And I realized, man, there's a lot of money. Is this script really that good? So I decided to read it again like last night. and it is really good.

Starting point is 06:06:27 Like it is a really great script. And my mind started churning out even more ideas. Even some little things was like, oh, maybe even with the pilot that's already like locked in. I'm like, actually there's one little thing I might suggest here, but even for future stuff, it's so self-aware. And it's like offensive on both sides,

Starting point is 06:06:46 but not offensive for the sake of being offensive. And like it gets the right drama. I don't want to give it away, but there's this moment towards the end. Yeah. And we're like, I'm literally reading it. And it's like funny and, you know, it's reverent. But then it gets to a moment where it's like kind of dramatic.

Starting point is 06:07:05 And I can, it's that rare moment when you're reading a script. And you can actually just see it clearly and you feel it. Like you could feel the room, which sounds like weird. But that is what it felt like when reading it. And I am very excited. It's like, okay, yeah, we did raise all this money. And it's going to be working. I appreciate that.

Starting point is 06:07:25 I got to confirm. I feel affirmed. That is the right direction for sure. Thank you. And so Sam also really knows Andrew Freed really well, by the way. So we, I mean, and so speaking of, Fried has, loves the Shmowdown, as we know, loves it. And we'll be part of the tournament and the live event as well. But Freed used to go to the Shmodown, even before you go to the live events, he would come to the tapings to watch Sam perform.

Starting point is 06:07:51 That's how him and Sam are close. but he would no he would when I would tell him that a lot of reasons sometimes I was there too it would it would be added incentive to get him to go when I told him that you were competing and so you know what is it do you think you know Sam about Andrew freed also that just he just he he's been as successful as he is um he's one of those guys who very quietly always knows the best play of of whatever it is he's gotten himself into or is near and he has a quiet confidence about him that people who've worked with him who get close to him realize, oh, this guy knows what's up.

Starting point is 06:08:35 And he's never the loudest voice in a room, but he's often the smartest voice in a room. And I think he's tremendous. And he's a cinephile. So that's why he's always been attracted to the Schmo down. And he's a really creative guy. He's got a really, really good creative eye for what a lot of people are going to be interested in seeing. And so I think that's a really important thing to have for a producer like him. Yeah.

Starting point is 06:09:04 And we're excited for her to see what he's going to do with directing it and we're pumped. Can I go off topic for one second? Yeah, yeah, just really quick. Yeah, sure. Sam, you were part of a rooster teeth web series, I think, forever ago. I think it was called crunch time. It was indeed called crunch time, yes. And I actually went and saw it when they played in the theater for an event.

Starting point is 06:09:24 And to the day, it is one of the funny, like, it might arguably for me be the funniest after-screening Q&A that I've ever been to. The idea of you doing like another, like doing something, I know everyone's here for like Schmo Down and stuff. But watch you do another live thing where you just get to, you know, spin into the mic a little bit. I've been very excited for that. I don't think people realize, though, too, how quick Sam is. He's hilarious. fucking hilarious. Yeah.

Starting point is 06:09:51 But he always does that thing. And as I've known him for as long as I've known him, he does it. No, please, please, please. But he is, he is brilliant. And when we had him on the first time we ever had, I think the first, you remember how the first time we ever met? I do. It was on Doug Benson's podcast.

Starting point is 06:10:06 That's exactly where it was. Yeah. So Sam and I were on Doug show together with Mark, obviously. And then he came on and did the, the Shmos No podcast, and we just hit it off and became buddies. So here we are today. Look at all what we've all been through. Slacker Sam Levine as GM was really funny too.

Starting point is 06:10:23 GM didn't care. Oh, that was, that was hilarious. That was my favorite thing I got to do. Yeah, when we said that, I go, Sam, you're just not going to care. You're like, I can do that. I was like, no direction required, friend. Not at all. Sam, did you hear about the live event?

Starting point is 06:10:37 They changed it. It's going to be what we always talked about. An IG match between you and me, and I spot you, 10 points. 10 points. You get a 10 point. I thought we said 30, but okay. 10's fine. Yeah, look at that.

Starting point is 06:10:49 pretty perfect for that. So, you know, you were sending, we're sending Calinowski the Avian Awards now. Do you know that? Really? Yeah, we hit two. Yeah, yeah. I said if we hit 270, Mike, well, I'll send Mike out.

Starting point is 06:11:02 Mike's going to cover the Avian Awards now. He's going to be absolutely this. Are you going to get him live, like, on location two during your live shows during the week, like he could be live on the floor? Maybe, maybe. It's just going to open all kinds of new worlds for him, by the way. You got to see the interview he did when, when I had him. So both you guys were not.

Starting point is 06:11:20 So I didn't realize, I'll tell you right now, and I don't think anybody would dispute this. If there was an adult film Schmodown, he'd be the undisputed champion. He'd be like Mike Tyson. I can't. I mean, the amount of knowledge that the man knows about is crazy. And he started throwing all these names. And the one name that kept popping up was Penny Barber. And then they started tweeting Penny Barber.

Starting point is 06:11:40 Then we had Penny Barber. It was me, Roxy, Mike, and Penny Barber was on the show. And guys, he, it was as if what I would be able to. like when I was interviewing Julia Roberts. It's like he just froze up, didn't say a word, didn't say shit. And then on our last live stream, he actually got the interviewer and it was amazing.

Starting point is 06:11:59 But now we're going to send him to the to those awards and that we hit that. You know that like that meet the parents uncomfortable comedy? Yeah. That's what it felt like. That's what it was. Yes. That last time. It was so uncomfortable, but hilarious. 100%. Um, so I got my next guest coming in live too. But, um, so

Starting point is 06:12:17 we also got. But let's get some of these games before. Yeah, hey, just real quick. I didn't know that Tom Scarrett died. I was on an episode. Oh, no. When did that happen? Yesterday.

Starting point is 06:12:28 Someone just put it in the chat. An hour ago. I was on a show called Pickett Fences and I got to share a scene with him. I was a school shooter and then he confronted me in my jail cell. And I got to do a one-on-one scene with, you know, from the guy from Top Gun, but like from a lot of other things. He was above all, though, just because I had known him. And as a kid and I was nervous as an actor, he was like so,

Starting point is 06:12:51 so nice. Like, that just kind of hit me. Sorry, not to bring everything down. That's terrible. But, you know how we died too?

Starting point is 06:12:58 Jacob Ucie blew him up. Oh, man. Deep cut. Deep cut. That's what I'm here for. Shmodeon 5. He was 93 years old.

Starting point is 06:13:06 It was double shoot failure. The Maine didn't work. The reserve didn't work. This is why you're the champion. Thank you. No, obviously. He was.

Starting point is 06:13:19 What his contribution to film and television was tremendous. And when I read that an hour ago, I was super bummed. Oh, yeah. But he has his great legacy. That's what I think is the gift of film and television is guys like Tom Scarrant. He's passed away, but he's never going to be gone. Yeah, I mean, absolutely, you know. Yeah, the amount of his work was incredible.

Starting point is 06:13:45 I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry that. I mean, I know about that. as people were posting about it. But there's no good segue, but time to play Smet's games. Let's do, yeah, let's do Smith's games. Then we have our next guest is coming in a little bit. We'll let, uh, all right. So, uh, I don't know if you guys know this, but I kind of throw together games.

Starting point is 06:14:01 He told me this morning that you guys were going to be on. So these are a little rush, um, but, uh, you'll see. They're pretty easy to play. Uh, we'll just, uh, this will be fun. They'll both have some creative ideas for it. Yeah. And I crafted them each kind of for both of you guys. So we'll start with Alba first.

Starting point is 06:14:15 So go to S, S. Alba one, PLD. All right. Greg, your final form. Greg, you can guarantee one career achievement. Which one do you choose? The Real Rejects becomes one of the biggest movie channels on YouTube. We're talking bigger than Mr. Beast.

Starting point is 06:14:29 Two, you get to direct a theatrically released studio movie. Three, you become the permanent host of a major official after show franchise, maybe for the MCU. Next host of Entertainment Tonight reboot. It's Back or Access Hollywood, one of those two. Or you run for office, have a good run. You don't make president, but you end up being vice president. and under a pretty reputable regular president. What do you pick?

Starting point is 06:14:52 Those photos are absolutely terrified. I apologize, by the way. I don't know what is going on there, but I will go with theatrical studio release. Might as well shoot the shot. You would, huh? What kind of movie would you want to do? I have a very specific comic book movie adaptation in mind of a character called Scarecrow that I have. I'm super, super passionate about one day, just going for it in some capacity.

Starting point is 06:15:23 Well, hey, I mean, if Clayface takes off, right? Like, it probably won't. So it's not going to help my cause. I'll wait a few more years until D.C. gets rebooted again, but I'll go for it. But that's his passion, you guys. He could have opted to be the vice president of the United States, but he wants to do that movie. So you've got to appreciate that passion. All right.

Starting point is 06:15:44 We have, I'm going to bring my guest. Next guest, are you okay at 4.30? Okay, good. All right. We'll be quick. There's only three more. They're quick ones. Let's get one for him.

Starting point is 06:15:55 SG Sam 1. Nope, not Elvo. We're going to Sam 1 now. All right, Sam Levine. You're trapped in an apartment for one year with one of your Sam Levine characters that you've played. Who survives as your roommate? You got your character from Freaks and Geeks, Neal, not a litter teen movie, Bruce, Dirk from Club Drag, In glorious Bastards or your character, Arty from Wet Hot American Summer.

Starting point is 06:16:15 You're stuck like in a big brother house for a year. Which one would you be able to survive without tearing your hair out? Sam loves it. I like that you wrote who survives is in like, I'm the threat to this person. I didn't have time. I understand. Wasn't it this morning he hit me up? Yeah.

Starting point is 06:16:32 No, it was about a week ago. I like how you could get actual photos of Sam from those and you don't go. Oh, Greg, you have no idea. You got to see some of the ones these used for me. It's like, I mean, even for himself, you want it was like, where? Where is, where, hold on. Oh, God, you're not playing it. Yeah, I got to play it.

Starting point is 06:16:50 It's just, where, how the hell is it? Here it is. Look, I mean, look at this. Kootak? How many? Like, who is that supposed to be? I'm excited. The future looks bright.

Starting point is 06:17:04 Google this. That looked like noted character actor Lenny Veneto. Lenny Veneto. And I urge you to Google Lenny Veneto and look at that side by side with what you just showed me. And you're going to lose your mind. Are you pulling up, Christian? Can you pull it up? Yeah.

Starting point is 06:17:19 Tell me how spot on that. Wow, the fact that you got that that quick is even better. Hold on a second. Let me bring that up. So just I got to give the reference real quick one more time. Howie? Wow. That's so good.

Starting point is 06:17:40 That's so good. All right. Let's put the, yeah, there you go. Perfect. All right. So Sam, what's your answer? Sam, who are you going to live with?

Starting point is 06:17:48 Obviously, Hersberg is going to Gerald Hershberg. is going to survive because he's going to murder me on the first day. Right. And then the place is just his. But why would he, why would he kill you? You didn't do anything to him.

Starting point is 06:18:02 You're a good guy. He just went after everybody. He had a hair trigger. That's true. He shot that Nazi in the back like it was nothing. Right. Who did he shoot? It was a Nazi.

Starting point is 06:18:11 Yeah. But people forgets to do the dishes or something. Exactly. You know, I don't, he's not going to shoot one of his own. Nah, nah. Nah, he'd get tired of me after like two days. All right. All right.

Starting point is 06:18:21 Thankfully, this next one, Alba does not have any photos of you. Again, literally two hours ago, so I'm getting shit on this. Well, now it's disappointing that there's no photos. Alba. You're going to save John Humphrey. He got kidnapped by Christian Harloff. We don't know where he's being held at an undisclosed location. You have 24 hours to find and rescue him.

Starting point is 06:18:38 You can recruit one fictional character to help you. Who are you choosing? Got Jack Bauer. You got Brian Mills. You got Sherlock Holmes. Frank Castle, if you don't like Christian, you want him blown away? Or John McLean from Diehard, which of these guys you think has to Best shot at rescuing John.

Starting point is 06:18:54 I just watched All of Punisher recently, and I just watched Taken again. I would go with Liam Neeson from Taken because he doesn't get a scratch on him. Everyone else gets injured. He is impenetrable. He's perfect. He doesn't get hurt. Absolutely perfect. What does that man do if he has to cross over a thing of glass, though, like John McLean?

Starting point is 06:19:14 Is this part of the game, or am I actually answering this question? Does this contribute to me winning the game, if I don't answer this correct? Everybody, well, today everybody's a winner. That's true. Or in my case, a loser. Okay, let's go to the next one. Sam. Sam, too.

Starting point is 06:19:30 Oh, boy. All right, Sam, this is all in their prime. A hundred grand is on the line. So you were faced off. You are at your prime too, but these are all at their prime. So you can't say, oh, they're rusty or anything like that. Who are you playing as a singles player in one match, five rounds? So Dan Merle, Rachel Cushing, Ethan Irwin, Clark Wolf or William Bibiani.

Starting point is 06:19:49 And you can't say Rachel because then you get to split the money. So maybe I take her off, but I wanted to have her on because I love her. I love the crush her. Wow. Look, for the record, she and I, she knows the arrangement. What's mine is hers and what's hers is hers. This is why you're going to be married right for a jump. This is why you're going to be married for a long time.

Starting point is 06:20:08 Yep. All right. Here is the answer. And those are all, for the record, tremendous players. Yeah. Every last one of them. But obviously, I want to take on murder. girl. Yeah. Because if I'm somehow winning a hundred thousand dollars for this, that had better

Starting point is 06:20:29 be the hardest match I've ever played. Right. And if I lose, I lose to one of the absolute all-time greats, if not the all-time grade. You want a real challenge. You don't want it. Yeah, I don't. Look at that. He ain't back and down from a challenge. So let me say that about Sam, which was always true. Sam wanted to compete against the best. Like he wanted, he always wanted it to be a fight. Like, of course, he'd be like, he wasn't going to complain if it was a TKO or something, too. He was like, okay, good. It was, but he liked the scrap. He liked when he got close and when the competitors really tried it, because he tested himself.

Starting point is 06:21:03 And I still think to me, I don't know what you would answer, but one of the greatest matches, if not, that I ever saw you play in, was that Marisol McKee match because neither one of you missed. No. You just happened to get to the buzzer two times faster than she did. That's crazy. And that was the difference maker. No, Marisol is incredible. and has always been incredible. And that,

Starting point is 06:21:23 that match was bonkers. That was nuts. That was her on there. And then the flip side of that was when you played Clark in that, where you guys, you both were at the end of, we both lost our footing and we couldn't find it again in that last round and wound up going through.

Starting point is 06:21:40 It was literally, it literally was like, and nobody could answer questions in that championship round. And like, all Clark had to do was answer at one. She had the championship. All Sam had to do was answer at one. He kept the championship.

Starting point is 06:21:50 They were like dodging raindrops to not get questions right. It was why. Never had. That was almost, it was similar to the match I had with Murrell, is that it was because the questions were so difficult in that particular match. And then, and what I will also say,

Starting point is 06:22:04 if you go back and you look, Sam annihilated me in the spectacular. I think it was the second one. And you had disadvantages. I was tired, but I still, running the whole thing, Lundy.

Starting point is 06:22:17 Yeah, but I also was, but that's, that's no excuse. It comes with the gig. It's like if you're going to, we also have to remember I had no business that I even wanted to have the championship. I didn't want to. I didn't want to be.

Starting point is 06:22:29 I was so upset that I never got to use the prop I'd created for had I lost to you. What was it again? I know you told me, but what was it? A fake book jacket. I printed out a fake book jacket that I was going to be reading during my post-match interview. And it was literally, it was a picture of the late great Alex Trebek with a pile of money in front of him. and the title of the book was why they don't let Trebek play

Starting point is 06:22:53 Jeffer. Right. Which has been great. Parentheses, he's seen all the answers. Right. Hey, guys, sorry. I got to go. Oh, hang, I'm just finishing this book.

Starting point is 06:23:03 Man, I wish I read this sooner. Love you guys. I'm going to lose Kevin here too. My buddy. I'll bring my next guest in a second too. But I just wanted, I also wanted to thank you guys both. I know you're both super busy and coming in here to support.

Starting point is 06:23:16 Did we win the game? Yes, you guys. You won. And, okay. You both want. I was on an edge there. No, no, I know. You both want.

Starting point is 06:23:24 So we're close. Sam, I'll let you know. When we hit the 300, and then you'll be there. Obviously, I'm assuming if you're available to the taping to come see and be around. Because, like, and obviously, if Rachel's competing, I would say you're going to be there. But we're going to find the right days. 279-8-5-4. We're getting closer and closer to get to that to that four.

Starting point is 06:23:48 That's crazy. I say congratulations on booking international star of film and television Kevin Pollock. That was my closing with you is the fact that... Well, I'm sorry. You should have let me see the show notes. Here, I don't let anyone see the show notes. You want to see show notes. You'll wait until I bring my buddy Matt Serra in here

Starting point is 06:24:11 a little bit. That's going to be show notes. So, yeah, listen, I mean, obviously honored in the, and just in the fact that, and I said this before Sam, was that, A, honored that he wanted to read it. That was the first honor. That alone would have been a win, right? The second honor is saying, I really liked this script and what they did in the voices that they had.

Starting point is 06:24:34 A win, even if he says, I can't do it, right? The third potential win, you want me to play, because this character who kind of shows up at the end and doesn't, sure, why not? Major win. but he says I want to play this role and it is a it's one of the biggest roles in the whole thing and I'm like you I I it blew me away it blew me away I read it last night with him like hearing his voice it's pantaminer and all and I was like yeah he's a really good for that yeah he's perfect for it blew me away so yeah so yeah so and you're someone who knows him very well and you've done it you did a show with him so like what to kind of close this out what the the obvious with his legendary career and comedy with him

Starting point is 06:25:20 involved what do you think this means for the project? He is one of those guys who has been involved with so many legendary productions over the years and if you take a step back

Starting point is 06:25:35 and you're like man what's the connective tissue between all of these things and I mean usual suspects, a few good men, casino marvelous Mrs. Maisel like there's got to be some metric where is it could it I think it has to be maybe he's got a really really really good streak of knowing a really great thing when he reads it and knowing when to say yes and so I think I think that's what you got yourselves a little bit of right here thank you see's a good thing and he wants on board that's very kind of he pioneered the crystal for walking impression. Wasn't he like the first one to like go one up?

Starting point is 06:26:19 Yeah, he was one of the very first, if not the first. Back in the 90s, Jay Moore used to do it on SNL. That's right. Yeah. And there's another character actor guy named Mars Callahan. Yes, yes, yes. He did that movie,

Starting point is 06:26:34 Poolhole junkies, I think. Anyway, well, that's, I mean, he's another great. But Kevin's is, I think Kevin's is the one, that everyone who's done one since then they're really just doing Kevin doing. Between that and then

Starting point is 06:26:51 his Peter Falk and I mean he's dude it's it's it blows me away. Can I tell you? I'm going to tell you a super quick Kevin Peter Falk story. So this I think is in like the 80s or early 90s and he finally meets Peter Falk. Now keep in mind Kevin's been doing that impression of

Starting point is 06:27:07 Falk since the 70s and he finally comes across him and Peter Falk someone has shown him Kevin doing him and he thinks it's hysterical. Oh, I love that. And he finally gets to meet him. And Peter Fox says something along the lines of of, it's a very good impression. How do you do that thing with your eye? Oh, I can't wait to hear a little story. There you go. Oh, he's got a million of them. I can't wait. Sam, thank you again, my friend. I can't wait to see you again in person.

Starting point is 06:27:34 I'll get to hang out, see you at the real, real soon. And, uh, and thank Greg. Same thing. Make sure you go check out Greg's channel, the real rejects. And Greg, I'm excited to have you hear more about. Thanks again for the kind words and we'll see both you guys real soon. See you guys soon. Thanks, guys. Take care. I love having both those guys involved. I love it.

Starting point is 06:27:53 PLD, I'm going to go pee real quick and then I'm going to bring in my next guest. So can you take over for a second? Oh, yes, absolutely. Okay, guys, what's going on here? 279,854. We are ready to go. We have a new guest coming in. I think you know who he is, but I'm not going to spoil a surprise in case it is a surprise.

Starting point is 06:28:11 And we got any questions for me. You can throw it out there. we are waiting. I've got some good stuff going on. I was excited about Kevin Pollack when I heard the news. Kevin Pollock still gave me one of the best line readings of all time, I think, in a few good men when he was like, you know, just I have no responsibilities here whatsoever. Great line. Guy has comic chops. The guy has dramatic chops. Guy is like just a warm general, like just generally a good dude for when I gathered. So when I, when Christian told me that, I was very, very excited. Very excited indeed. But yeah, we got a lot of cool stuff coming up still.

Starting point is 06:28:44 Of course, we got the crew coming up at the end. Craig's, I mean, hopefully come back on hopefully. We're going to reach out to him. And we actually got Andrew Free coming at the end as well. That should be fun. Let's get those numbers up. Yes, yes, I know. I am going to be dressing as Shrek for Roka.

Starting point is 06:29:00 Don't tell them. I'll shock them. I don't know when it's going to be. I can't promise you it's going to be like next week or anything like that. I might wait to build it up a little bit. But Billy Outwood, PLD is a better quarterback, Lamar Jackson, or Caleb Williams. I got to say my boy, Kaylee. I mean, right now he's a little young still, and he's still developing.

Starting point is 06:29:18 But at the end of the day, he's got the juice, baby. He's got the juice. Let me tell you that for sure. Yes, it's in a Wyomberg, Puzzie Bundles. Draven, PLD, other than Star Wars, what's your favorite movie franchise? That's a tough one. Is Ed Harris a movie franchise? That's really it.

Holland is probably my favorite horror movie of all time, even the bad ones. told Katie the other day I got to tell her I told her Hey you were in a Halloween movie That's awesome

But he's had a great podcast, geeking out, Matt,

Starting point is 06:32:09 Sam's watching that with me right now, the X-Men series. She's never seen him before. Oh, man. because she was in a tunnel somewhere. She hadn't seen shit. She hadn't seen shit. That's fun. You see them experience that for the first time.

Starting point is 06:32:20 Yeah, yeah. So we were watching the X-Men. We just watched Last Stand. She liked that movie. I thought it was the Farts, but I shouldn't say the Farts. It's just. But it's like, it's not the best. Are you watching Mobland or no?

Starting point is 06:32:34 You keep telling me to watch it. How dare you for Mottland? No, I don't think he meant to do it. How dare you? You don't like Mabland? Why are you? Shut. I live in the last stand.

Starting point is 06:32:44 Oh, the last stand. All right, guys. He's not the comedian. You know what our good friend Chris, uh, uh, uh, Belit says.

Starting point is 06:32:52 Oh, Chris Van Ville. Yeah. Yeah. What? Don't yuck anybody's yums. That's right. Stop shitting all over my last stand.

Starting point is 06:32:58 I'm enjoying it. Oh, do you like the last stand too? I'm kind of enjoying it. I'm still. The last thing. Oh, no. Oh, my bad.

Starting point is 06:33:05 Oh, yeah. Take a dump on that. Yeah. What do you? I think about the stairs. Oh, no. I was about X-Men the last. But you knew what I was talking.

Starting point is 06:33:13 I know you talked about. So why are we talking about the last stand? Because I said that we, she watched that. We watched an X-Men movie. Went into last stand. But yeah. So I'm not too shmard. That's all right.

Starting point is 06:33:23 PLD, do me a favor. So I want, that's the other thing. You've got the champ here too. So I want to make sure that you guys, if there's any questions you want to ask him while he served like, because I got, I got him until around,

Starting point is 06:33:34 what the hell time? I go, 530. Then we have Josh Harwitz coming in at 530. So we got him until just around 530. So any questions you want to ask them? Please do. But we'll talk about some other stuff too. But we,

Starting point is 06:33:45 but Matt's got an episode going out tonight. You should check out, geeking out Matt Sarah. But we've talked about, as Matt does on his show, Matt does a great segment with all of his guests where he says, let's go over our origin story. Like that.

Starting point is 06:33:58 You like that. I love the origin story. It's one of my favorite bits that you do. I love it. And so our origin story. Look at a 280 champ. Oh, right. 280.

Starting point is 06:34:07 See, look at that. Someone's getting a free Sarah T-shirt if you visit my hunted in school. You should look at that. So 284. We're less than 20,000 away from getting that live event now. So we're close, guys. That's amazing. What live event?

Starting point is 06:34:21 So the Schmodeown, which I should tell that story too. So the movie trivia shmodown, which is essentially was like movie trivia that we would do, what we did like a big live events. Yeah, I remember. Yeah. Well, no, you did the pre-show the night before. Okay. Because the thing is we didn't know each other well enough.

Starting point is 06:34:37 That's right. You didn't know what you were walking into. No, that's right. So you're like, I don't know what the hell. He says, why don't I just come hang out with you at the comedy club? And I said, okay, let's do that. And but now, you know what I'm going to do? This is annoying me too.

Starting point is 06:34:46 So I'm, I want to get the shot better because you're blurry. So you can. Am I blurry? Yeah, tell the audience a good story. I look good over there. Thank you. You guys can work wonders. That one blurry.

Starting point is 06:34:59 No, no, no, no, good. I got you. All right. All right. So our origin story. Mm-hmm. So, and you correct me if I'm, if I'm mistaken. But talk to me.

Starting point is 06:35:10 So when I, I'm, watched Matt win the championship. I watched his entire season of the ultimate fighter. And so as a New York guy and knowing, like I, I just, I, you could tell he, who he is is who he was on the show. And I'm like, that's a guy that's just going to keep going and everybody was counting him out against GSP. Everybody. And I said, I remember sending my roommate Adam Winklman. I go, I'm telling you, dude, Sarah's going to pull the shit off tonight. And, and even Winkleman, too, to give him his credit, too, he was. He was like, I think you're right, you might do it, he might do it.

Starting point is 06:35:43 First round comes in, and I'm losing, I bet, and at the time, I was, I would make, because I was, I would make money off of betting on the fights because it was different, people didn't know the odds that well on, it was different because the switch from over from boxing the UFC, the odds were a lot better. So I got really good odds in that fight. And I won a lot of money when Matt Serra won the championship. And then I was on Collider Live on, I don't remember what we were talking about it. And I was talking about basically the same story I just told.

Starting point is 06:36:10 and said that, you know, this is a New York guy, and I was, I was always on board. Matt Serres, but one of my favorite guys, and I was at your fight when I think you beat Matt Hughes, when you were there in Vegas, and I said that even before I knew you. And I talked about that. And so then someone goes, hey, did you listen to ESPN or,

Starting point is 06:36:29 or did you listen to, UFC Unfiltered? And I go, no, no, no. He said, Matt Sarah was talking about you on the show. I go, what do you mean? And then I guess someone sent you my clip, right? Is that what happened? Now, I remember, now this is, yes, this is, I remember seeing you.

Starting point is 06:36:46 No, I just, I think I organically was, I was watching that show, that Collider show. Okay, okay. It's similar to what we do now. Like, I'm all into the movies and the geek stuff. I've been, you know, reading comics and I'm a kid. So I love all that geek culture. So I used to watch you a show, you know, religiously. Right.

Starting point is 06:37:05 And then out of the blue, I've seen you talk about me. And I'm like, oh. So then I sent you a DM. I go, hey, man, I just want to let you know. I, you know, thanks for the shoutout. I love your stuff. And you're like, oh, well, I want to be a guest? Yeah.

Starting point is 06:37:21 And then that's that. And then you call into Clare Live a lot. Jump in here once in a while. And then when I was doing S-E-N and I was doing stuff from my house. And Matt then started to call into the show. And then I found out I was moving back to New York. And I said to Matt, because Matt at one point at Rogan and suggested him doing a thing on his own.

Starting point is 06:37:40 And I was like, you know, I was telling him for a while, I'm like, dude, you should be doing stuff on your own. You should be doing some, a show and everything too. And then I said when I come back, we should do something together. And here we are two years later. You said that if you ever moved back, we will do something. Yeah. And it just happened that if anybody wants to check out the JRE episodes,

Starting point is 06:37:59 the Joe Rogner experience with the protect your neck. Yes. Okay. Not protect your park. That's funny as hell. I love those. I love Shagel, listen. But protect your neck.

Starting point is 06:38:09 It's me and a few of my buddies. Yeah, Thomas John Rallo and Joe Rogan. So we have an MMA episodes. I go on there every once in a while. And he, after the first time on there, we had such a good time. He was adamant about me doing my own thing. And it happened to be the time when you're moving back. So now you have to subscribe to the Matt Serra channel people on YouTube.

Starting point is 06:38:29 Please. Yeah. If you like me. Yeah. All right. And you do a lot of even doing reactions and stuff too. Hey, man. I love, that's what I'm, some of my reactions.

Starting point is 06:38:39 Yeah, and you do, and you do it with your wife, which is, which is the best. I have a good time with that. I do, because it's exactly how I am when I'm watching at home, when I don't shut the fuck up. Yeah. So, and I used to love, there was an old show. I don't know if people seen it.

Starting point is 06:38:52 If they're as old as me. Mystery Science Theater. Oh, yeah. So even though I don't goop on everything, I, you know, I used to love that show. So I like to, you know, it reminds me a little on that, too. Totally. I know Smets, I don't know if Smets has any games.

Starting point is 06:39:06 or anything for you. I'm not sure yet, but I know he's been running around kind of doing his own thing. But Pildi, do we have several questions so far for the champ? I'm seeing some up. I'm seeing some up there. Yeah, let's, Peelde will throw him out. He's been, yeah, what do you think? I'm here. Yeah, we have a bunch. And as we're getting

Starting point is 06:39:22 closer and closer, like, we're just to give an update, we're about 20,000 away from getting that live event. So one of our last stretch goals of where we're at. So exciting. And then 310 will open up that other. All of the stretch goals have been opened up in the last stretch goal is going to be, well, the two last ones are the Shmodown live event and the live event tickets being on sale. But everything else has been met.

Starting point is 06:39:49 So the lady show, everything. Is this the most exciting time of your life? It's pretty, it's pretty nuts. And I have to, and I, you know, when I'm in this mode of being on the air, I haven't had a chance to like, you know, process it yet. Yeah. But one. And then Andrew, my director will, will be on. at the end of this and we'll i guess i'll be able to settle a little bit and tomorrow's like the

Starting point is 06:40:11 official last day so um then i'll probably be able to settle but i appeal you got something all right billy atwood man i have a question since i consider you a legend oh thanks billy are there any ufc legends that you feel don't get the respect or maybe recognition they deserve for the impact on that sport it's a great question that's a phenomenal question now i'm going to say overall in general, not just UFC. There's a couple of fighters that were just one of,

Starting point is 06:40:39 I'll say one fighter that was a UFC fighter that is not known, and he's one of my favorite fighters to this day. He fought when there was in a tournament with, you had to fight more than one time a night. Oh, wow. He fought a guy,

Starting point is 06:40:52 a gentleman named Tom Erickson, who was around almost 300 pounds. And he fought him for 45 minutes, and he left unscathed. This gentleman's name is Marillo Bustamante. Oh, wow. So when I was coming up, just, you know, he's the generation before me with Master Henzhou Gracie. And Marillo fought back in the day in Brazil when there was a rivalry with the Lutra Lever guys that did not wear the kimono.

Starting point is 06:41:19 It was almost like the Nogi Gravelers and the Jiu-Jitsu guys. There's a big rivalry. This is some old-schools stuff. This is before the UFC. So they had three representatives, three from Jiu-Jitsu, three from Lutra-Liver. And they fought in, I believe, in Rio. and that's one of the, and Rurlo represented. He fought great in that and won.

Starting point is 06:41:35 But then I seen him go on to, he fought Chuck Ladell, Chuck Liddle, Chuck Liddle won, but it's, it's controversial. It could be, it's close. Yeah. And he was one of the first guys. He'd have good boxing. He submitted Matt Lindlinn, not once, but twice. He submitted him with the arm lock.

Starting point is 06:41:51 John McCarthy jumped in too soon. Okay. So he goes, I'm sorry, I have to restart it. It was not fair to the guy because he didn't tap. He took him down. He said he got him again, and I believe, a strangle. So that. is one of my favorite fighters.

Starting point is 06:42:03 That's not really known. Marillo Bustamante. Great question. All right, PILD, what you got next? Did Saracie Street Fighter? Not yet, but I want to. I'm curious how you're going to feel like. So, McElanowski, who loved Master's Universe,

Starting point is 06:42:17 you love Master's Universe. I love Masters of the Universe. So I wanted to really love Street Fighter. Did you like Mass City Universe? There's a lot I liked about it, but a lot I didn't. I thought it was... Remember me? Remember the man I used to me sorry that's man at

Starting point is 06:42:33 alms when he's beating the shit out of trap to a while man at all but that stuff was good that was great yeah but the goofy humor was awful yeah but there's certain just shots when he's listen when he became he man the best is he was playing second to teala she was almost like his bodyguard

Starting point is 06:42:49 but when he became he man he's fucking he man and I liked how he tried to do he hey man let's talk this out he's trying to reason and then I'll say Skeletor a skeleton he had his ass kick and all of a sudden he He's like, all right.

Starting point is 06:43:02 He wanted to talk. He goes, nah, no, no, no. Talking to talking to talking. It was fun. It was. Yeah, but so you might, you might dig, you might dig Street Fighter. I wanted it to be a little better than it was. There's some, but it knows, I think it knows its tone.

Starting point is 06:43:16 I'm curious. I'm very curious. He's got a 90s feel to it. Definitely is a 90s field. Yeah. I'm very curious to see what you think about, um, Clayface though. Because Clayface, I, I did like it? I heard it felt like a low budget, like, one movie, but not low budget?

Starting point is 06:43:30 It felt like. felt like something remember do you remember Dolph Longgrins the Punisher? I enjoyed that me too and I felt that's what it felt like somebody said it felt like dark man it felt like dark man meets Punisher meets the fly the fly

Starting point is 06:43:43 I just remember I liked it but he got gross well so is this really gross the movie's gross oh see that's I'm going to lose me right with that well if that's gonna if that's gonna lose you then you won't like it because there's some really graphic stuff going look at that

Starting point is 06:43:58 champ 28749 you guys are great look at this everybody loves christian hall off we're getting so close we're getting i think they want they love the fact that you're going to get in a live event which is going to be amazing we're going to do another live event which is so

Starting point is 06:44:11 crazy um and then you know would you go if we do what does that even mean the live event no Christian too much poop pooper Sarah don't don't don't look at the chat yet don't look at I'm sorry I don't know what that means we're going to light it up it's fun and then the other thing i was going to ask you

Starting point is 06:44:29 go ahead what was the first You asked me. Well, then I guess I don't know. But I'm. Your live event. Yes. If we do, so one of the things with trending is that we'll probably do, and I would say most likely. I know that we're going to do an after party in L.A. for it.

Starting point is 06:44:44 But I think we're probably going to do like a premier party in New York, I think. As I confirmed that, you got to be there, right? Oh, let me know. Where is this going to be? Probably somewhere in the city. Oh, yeah. You and got to be there. Dude, I'm there.

Starting point is 06:44:57 I'd love to have you there. All right. Pildee. Let's just more from the chip. come on. Mish King, Matt, thank you for being an example of a positive male figure. How nice is that? That's so nice.

Starting point is 06:45:07 Thank you, Mish King. I appreciate that. That's very kind. You know, I try to do the right thing. Rodney Labour. Matt, do you think Dustin Poreer, Poreer, is the best fighter to ever, to never hold his title? That's a great question. And I'll tell you, he's definitely in the running for that.

Starting point is 06:45:27 I mean, he might be. He just might be. because he is a total stud. Yeah. And I'll tell you, up until he got caught, he was doing, he had a good fight. He was losing, but he had a good fight with the best, Islam, Islam, Makhchev, you know, until he got strangled. He fought, he fought the best, you know, even beat the best, you know. He, you know, he, I mean, listen, his body of work is, is phenomenal.

Starting point is 06:45:51 So that might be. That's not, he's up there for sure. Look at that. Back to 287. We're getting close to 281. Oh, so exciting. close to 281 um all right matt needs to react to the schmode and i would show i would show him one a match from the schmonde to do on our channel like one i have to pick like a really good one because i know him well enough if you don't get him you'll lose him and you'll never watch it again because you should see me with him at a wrestling event that was the greatest thing i've ever Kevin hooked us up

Starting point is 06:46:18 He absolutely hooked this up But you Front row and you know it's bad when I leave When the cage match is about that happened That was the whole thing It was like he respected it I don't want to yuck Never he never

Starting point is 06:46:29 He never once put down anybody involved in it or anything of that He was he was super respectful of the athleticism And all that But we went we went because carrying cross had What a great guy He had invited us And we went to the garden And it was CM Punk versus Seth Rollins in the cage

Starting point is 06:46:46 and Matt brought his lovely family with them and we sat down, we were watching it and he looks to me and goes, all right, buddy, I'm going. I was like, the main event, the main event's not. I mean, he's like, I got it. I kind of got the feel for it. But the people there reminded me a little bit of a Comic-Con feel.

Starting point is 06:47:00 Yeah. They were so into the storyline. They're chanting. And they were pleasant. They remind me of like the dirty types and I like that type. Yeah. I don't like the, they weren't aggressive.

Starting point is 06:47:10 They weren't a cool table type. No, no, no, no, no. I just was, it just was following to me. It's not my thing. So that's why I'd have to show him, I'd have to show him the right match and probably like an inner geekdom thing because the inner, I'd probably show him like a Mike Kalinowski match. Oh, Mike Kalinowski. I like trivias, though. I mean, it's that type.

Starting point is 06:47:27 It is. It's trivia with like a bit, like the way that we, we set up like the promos. We almost set them like UFC type thing, the promos. Yeah. Sometimes the guy's act like a. Yeah. We have storylines. Hey, it's cute.

Starting point is 06:47:39 Yeah. Whatever you guys are into. You know what I mean? You know, you're into that. It's cute. I strangle people. I just got done getting beaten by the sericists. I got my 15-year-old and my 13-year-old competing.

Starting point is 06:47:53 They got tap-out cancer this week, which is for a good cause. So I got them and some of my students competing. Okay. Man, I like that they're teenagers now, and I don't have to go so easy. You know what I mean? They're getting good, my kids. And so I took my oldest couple times to Matt's school, and they were so kind and they're so, they're great. They're awesome.

Starting point is 06:48:13 We have such a good time. Yeah. All right. 288 to 4. You guys are crushing it. Oh, man. We so appreciate it. Man, we're less, we're almost 90. Shoot, 19,000 like less. 19,000, what is it? Almost 180 something, 170 something until we get to, uh, that Schmodeon live. We're not too far away and we still and we still got some time here. We're almost there.

Starting point is 06:48:36 We're almost there. 1917. 17. Hey, 19. Oh, shit. All right. All right. PLD. All right. PLD. 19,000 was a. So there we go. So, Lequanos, in Matt Sarah's prime, could he compete win the belt against the current guys that are out there now? It's so funny. I just had it. It's like in every next generation itself, the same weight class, they're huge.

Starting point is 06:49:02 I just had a gentleman on my podcast and unfiltered yesterday, a newcomer, Chris, Sal. I got to get his last name, but he's brand new off the contend of series. Great Kid. actually works for Dana. Guys, 6-3-1-70. I mean, I don't think I can actually

Starting point is 06:49:18 put his hand on my head and I'll be hitting there. So I don't know. Listen, I'm the type of fighter where I was naturally a 155. You know, in my case,

Starting point is 06:49:29 I was winning at 155 and then they did away with the weight class. And next to you know, they asked me for the fight at 170, and I have the ability to do that because... It's back now. I know how to fight. It's every 155 is one of the most dangerous.

Starting point is 06:49:42 Yeah. But this was back in 2006. Right. So I went back up and then that led to the ultimate fighter, which left for the title and led to my story. So it's a beautiful thing. But do I think I could be champ? I mean, I don't know.

Starting point is 06:49:54 I think that's, uh, I think I, listen. It's hard to answer that though. It's hard to answer because I'm the type of guy where if you put, tell me that you're going to lock me in the room with anybody. I'm going to say, I'm going to be the guy leaving. Right. That could be a little old people. You're like, oh, well, you're just delusional.

Starting point is 06:50:11 I'm like, all right. That's what they said about. GSP, though. I mean, that's just the type of guy I am. Right. You know what I mean? So I don't admit that I'll lose to anybody, but it would be hard to compete with the guys that are six to... But that's so hard, too. That's so... Yeah. You're answering it as a 50-year-old

Starting point is 06:50:25 dude. Yeah, listen. If I ask... If I go back in time, I'm not getting taller. That's what I know, but if I asked 28-year-old Matt Sarah that same question, Matt, you know immediately that guy's like, yeah, because... Oh, yeah, listen. It's different. In my prime, you know,

Starting point is 06:50:41 it's not easy for me to say. anybody but it's just the fighter of course of course you know yeah um yeah it's not a cocky thing it's that's that's that's what you have to do in order it's what i do for a living yeah all right what's next uh be gill studios hey matt i got to say man you're awesome and a badass that's very kind man be what is that be gill that's biggill that's thank you i appreciate that yeah i like when people like me there well if you want to let you want to check out matt stuff again go to geeking out with matt terr just you just type in matt sarah on youtube and you subscribe to his channel go over there today and say and tell them tell them that you found us uh for me even

Starting point is 06:51:16 i'm the one checking the comments uh sd all start thoughts on war machine that yes you want to explain who that is oh you were talking about the road road roadie no oh what they're talking about war machine was oh yeah yeah yeah war machine the fighter yeah on season six of the ultimate yeah i was watching back and if anybody's familiar with him he ended up uh severely he was he was one of your he was christie mack yeah right but he was one of your guys on the on the on Oh, yeah, he was on Team Sarah. Right. And I feel with the proper guidance,

Starting point is 06:51:47 he could have made better choices, obviously. Right. You know what I mean? But running with the wrong crew, right? Yeah, and he also, yeah, he had, you know, you know, you show me your friends, you show me who you are. You know, he's buddies with Phil Barone and that guy who won up to him. And, you know, allegedly, you know, there's,

Starting point is 06:52:08 he murdered a girl in Mexico. Now, he's in jail for life. So, so listen. You got to be careful the friends you, you know, you keep and you pick. And when you're young, you think you can make whatever decisions and you feel unstoppable. And it's not that way. You know what I mean? So I sent some casualties in the game.

Starting point is 06:52:26 That one upsets me because I feel because if you watch the show, like I was talking to him and he felt like the world was against him. He had a tough childhood. He's seen his father die in front of him. He tried to revive him. And he had a thing against law enforcement. And he could have chose a way more positive route if he had the right people around him. got it that's what's a more next one fantasy fight frank meir in his prime versus john jones who you got champ from pandoff 44 frank meir in his prime versus john jones like 22 year old before motorcycle accident

Starting point is 06:52:58 uh or was it motorcycle right that that mirror got into yeah yeah you know it's hard you know it's John Jones is basically an undefeated fighter. You know what I mean? So whenever you've seen a fighter be defeated in their prime, out of their prime, you know they've been defeated and there's a way to get to that. And with John Jones, nobody's shown that. So, you know, I love Frank Meir, but I would say John Jones is one of the best, if not the best, to ever do it.

Starting point is 06:53:31 So that's a hard one. Meir was one of those guys. He was like one of my favorite fighters when I was watching back. Oh, yeah. And like the thing with Meera. He was phenomenal. But the thing with Mears is that he was similar in the, in what we were talking about just beforehand where, I mean, look at the Brock Lesnar fight. You couldn't, you just from his skill set, you can never really count him out.

Starting point is 06:53:49 The problem that I think as he fought more, um, was that he was getting caught a little bit more. And like you said, you just never really saw John Jones get caught. I'd probably say, I mean, well, that's the thing. Yeah. That's the thing. But I, you know, I always thought Frank Meir would have been a. great person to do a movie on because when he when that motorcycle accident yeah with what he came how hot he was when he beat him sylvia and then like what was going on and then after that whole

Starting point is 06:54:13 thing was that for that long were you really yeah he snapped his own with four arm four on actually pop that wow um nasty what he got next uh cat mackerman did the stand in 22 oh okay yeah that's the one of watching oh so they suggested her for my show cat macamara oh interesting one of the ones in there i'm watching that uh what's next Fuzzy Bubbles part two. Question for Matt, do you think a big person with no training can take out a smaller person with training? Well, there's always the choice. There's always power.

Starting point is 06:54:44 Like, you know, strength is a real thing. But how trained is the little person? If the little person's trained, they're going to have the advantage. Because they'll know what to do. They'll know what to do. They can leave something out that can get broken. It depends on how trained that little person is. But, you know, my money would be on the trained, the trained smaller person over the

Starting point is 06:55:03 untrained, a bigger person. It does depend on the level of training. Abernathy, subscribe to your channel and say, great reaction. Oh, man, thanks, bro. I really do appreciate it. There you go. Hopefully we'll pick up some peeps for the new episode today. Wiley O.C., Matt, who's your favorite music artist or song?

Starting point is 06:55:21 You're not a big music guy, though. I'm a music freak. One thing that Master Henzzo never did is have music on during training. Okay. And that's not what I do. We got everything on. I love tripod called Quest. I love public enemy,

Starting point is 06:55:36 but I can get a little emo-ish. I like angels and airwaves. Okay. Secret crowds. You ever hear that? I do. Might change your life. Blink 182.

Starting point is 06:55:47 I like all sorts of music. Johnny Cash hurt. Oh, yeah. I just, plain Jane. Come do Allah. Check in with me and do your job. See?

Starting point is 06:56:01 You know, anyway. I think at like 285 we get a rat uh yeah concert but I like to get crazy too I like queen I can talk about music oh I love music whyley's gonna go ahead oh look at he's got queen hat on field yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah thank you love that man uh radio gaga oh that's radio gogoo oh like that you like I like when I like when I like when I sing at you you you don't make eye contact well that gets weird oh that's what you get that's a 283 uh what's what's what's the next one uh attack peter is my body Buddy. He sent me the alien head back. Say, who did?

Starting point is 06:56:36 Attack Peter. He's a really... Attack Peter. Attack Peter. Attack my channel and sub. Just kidding. I bet she did already. Thank you, Attack Peter. He's the man, dude. Oh, man. I like our people. He's...

Starting point is 06:56:48 He's real people's my people. Yeah. 100%. 100%. And you'd get along with him a lot. He's Miami. Oh, man. All these people should go to Sarah B.J., because I like making good people dangerous. I know you do. That's a great... That's true. All right.

Starting point is 06:57:01 That's next. tagline at my school. Matt, at your age, what martial arts do you feel is the best to continue your training, says CelX, 23? As you know, we are always students. What is the best? martial arts? Do you feel the best to continue?

Starting point is 06:57:14 I guess, you know, when it comes to someone. Sure. That's an easy one. Jiu-Jitsu. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I'll tell you this. I haven't taken one punch or given one punch. You know, I'll do some mitt work, you know, glove drills.

Starting point is 06:57:30 but I haven't sparred a day since I got done fighting and I don't miss it. You know, well, sometimes I'll miss fighting, but I don't miss the sparring. But I'll tell you right now, even when I'm not rolling,

Starting point is 06:57:42 I'm demonstrating, I'm repping the techniques, I'm sweating on the mats. I feel just as dangerous as ever. I feel dangerous. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Starting point is 06:57:52 I'm taking limbs on a daily basis. And the beautiful thing about jujitsu, and I got that over 40s class where I keep my gray beards dangerous. And, you know, you can have hard training and you're not getting any, you know,

Starting point is 06:58:04 you're not taking any more with Charles out of the bank. Right. I don't need that shit, you know? Yeah. And, you know, you don't get beat up. It's a little bump and bruising your name. It is true, though, too. You see a lot of, I mean, even look at it. You know that Mark Paul Goster's close to getting his black, though.

Starting point is 06:58:19 Do you see that? That's, um, that's Zach Morse. Yeah. Yeah. And I'll tell you, he was also a stud is Mario Lopez. Right. He's another one. He's not here.

Starting point is 06:58:26 Tom Hardy, too, right? Tom Hardy too. And they're all legit. They're all legit bad asses because they know jujitsu. Jonah Hill. Step up to him. I dare you. He even said it.

Starting point is 06:58:38 I was going to say, there's no way you're being serious. What's next? I bet you he's not bad, though. He's a big guy. I think he's a big guy. I think he's a lot. I think he's taking that in context.

Starting point is 06:58:47 Draven Mark, Matt, what time periods did you fight in UFC? Because growing up, me and my dad used to watch it, not as much as per se, boxing. Yeah. I mean, it was like 2001 I started. Yeah.

Starting point is 06:58:59 I might be the longest employee ever with the UFC because I'm still doing UFC unfiltered. If anybody likes the MMA content, me and the great gym, Norton, do UFC unfiltered. Anyway, you want to get your podcast. But so, yeah, 2001, and then I fought to like maybe 2012, maybe, something like that. Okay.

Starting point is 06:59:16 Yeah, was my last fight? Was it your last one? I think so. Maybe not, maybe later, but I think that. I think so. Whatever my last fight was with Chris Lytle. Was she was fight 2009? 2009, yeah.

Starting point is 06:59:26 Yeah, that makes sense because I, something like that. Yeah, because that was, I mean, that was, it was an MGM? No, no, no, no. Mandela. I never fought in New York. No, no, no, no, MGM. I was going to see the MGM. Oh, I'm sorry.

Starting point is 06:59:37 Madison Square. No, no, no, no. The MGM, I fought. No, no, my last fight was in Indianapolis. Yeah, no, no, I'm thinking when you fought. Matt Hughes was MGM. 100%. Because I knew that's where, that's where I stayed.

Starting point is 06:59:49 Oh, I loved punching him in the face and throwing them. I don't care if I got the decision. I got the throw, I got the throw, I punched them. I had, no, I remember watching that one going, and we, we were shocked that that they gave the decision. Yeah, but it was fun. What was next? Okay.

Starting point is 07:00:03 Sammy, hello, Mr. Sir. What do you think is the biggest what if fight that we never gone? Brock versus Fadour or GSP versus Anderson Silver? I'd say the GSP versus Anderson Silver. I'd say that was the one. Did that come close at all?

Starting point is 07:00:17 You know, I think it came, it was, I don't know how close that came to be honest. Because then Anderson Silva ran it to Chris Wygman. I think it started the diminishing. diminish it you know what i mean that makes sense because that was to me that was um yeah i think i'll

Starting point is 07:00:34 watch clay face on here a reaction with my wife that's the only time are you gonna wait yeah okay that's probably that's probably smart i'm just telling you there are some really it's it's it is like dark man but there's only like four or five like there's one in the beginning that's really graphic it's really graphic i'm not a big pussy but it's like oh yeah i hate 288 for an hour we're close guys almost at 281 oh snap what's next what do we got ready at 288. Do you got any more appeal then? There you go.

Starting point is 07:01:02 Okay. SD all-sword. Hey, Matt, are you still close with Pete Sell? Yes, love Pete Cell. I go to his son, Jack, is my godson. When he competes in the wrestling, I go to, I try to go to as many his wrestling meets because he's a stud, this kid, little Jack Sel.

Starting point is 07:01:19 Yeah, he's like, so he's in there and just 10 years old? Oh, okay. He's not 12 yet, is he? Okay, still. 11, 12. He's between 10 and 12. young but he's a beast this kid he is a little beast and i love watching him compete and drago's just a family man now he's working and he's with his kids constantly so he's just a great guy and he's doing

Starting point is 07:01:40 great so i'm happy for him he's still phenomenal uh next one thank you for the two shows lj films matt what is a single frustration you have had with modern movies and how they tell stories i don't like when it's too strong on like uh i don't like what i know the beating you over the the head with a message i don't like when i know the director or the writers like politics and stuff yeah keep it out of the movies i want to go there to escape you know what i mean so that's what bothers me with the more yeah that type of thing beating you over head with a message where the message should be with the movie not you know who's president and whatever that shit is it bothers me all right what's next uh billy out what do you guys think that a brock lesner never went to

Starting point is 07:02:21 w w w and went straight to ufc could have been one of the greatest early heavyweets ever that's a good that's a good that's a great question and possibly because he he was kind of learning on the job with the striking, you know, and if he committed all those years that he was in the WWE to just sparring and working his strikes

Starting point is 07:02:40 and concentrating on the MMA, yes, I think that's a very, you know, because he was a beast, athletically. And his wrestling credentials alone were phenomenal, but he, you know, nobody likes getting it, but you put him in there with a guy like Kane Velasquez, right? You see what happened, Alistar Overeem,

Starting point is 07:02:57 you know he just had to get more time in with the sparring and getting used to that stand-up game the guy I think that could have been if he would have went out of the Olympics into UFC that I think could have been a champion as Kurt Angle well that's yeah I mean I heard he was a dude he and he was a tough tough dude not that Brock Lesnar wasn't but he he was just a tough tough dude and he he just seems like a guy like you know if he got popped in the chin like all the injuries and something he just seem I mean, again, you don't know until you see it, but like he just seems like one of those guys.

Starting point is 07:03:30 You hit him in the head with a freaking bat and he wasn't going to go down. But yeah. Again, it's all how they put it together. Yeah. You know what? That's true. That's true. His wrestling was, I mean, it was phenomenal.

Starting point is 07:03:40 So what's next? Christian, too much poo poo, poor Sarah livers in the moment. Okay. Sounds good to me. Say it? No one knows with that. I have no idea what that meant. He's saying that Christian is a poo pooh-pour and Sarah lives in the moment.

Starting point is 07:03:52 That's for the, uh, oh, thank you. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah. Stop being a poo-poo. Why are you shitting all over everything? How in the world did you read those hieroglyphics? Because that's what I do. I'll tell you, that's you good.

Starting point is 07:04:03 Because I just like the, you're saying, what he was talking about? But he wasn't attacking me. Is Matt a big Master of Universe guy? I mean, yeah. I mean, I enjoyed the, hey, listen, even with the big devil guy with the, what's that? I think he might be able to hook you up with someone. That's why he was asking. Oh, I love that stuff.

Starting point is 07:04:20 But I liked in the movie, even when the big, the big devil guy, you know, with the horns. And he's like ready to take him the skeletor and you just see. Fucking he, man. Yeah. Just fold his arms. It was just cool, man. I loved it. I love that they played the whole Boys Don't Cry song when he went.

Starting point is 07:04:39 People were bitching when he was on Earth. I enjoyed it. I loved it. Poopooer. Stop poo poo poohing over me. You a collector. Now, what do you mean? I think that, you know, as far as toys or any of those or figures or anything,

Starting point is 07:04:52 if you got something cool. Yeah, I'll go to a Comic Con. Like, I don't have nothing in cases and stuff, but I go to a comic con or I go to a thrift shop and when I'm in Florida and the docks. And if I say, I get an old Star Wars mug or I'm that type of guy. But I don't got something in plastic looking to sell it one day. You know, I got the original, I think it's in great condition too. I gave it to my daughter and she loves it too. Spider-Man versus Wolverine.

Starting point is 07:05:16 Did you ever read that comic? Oh, is that great? I don't know what that's worth, but that was a great comic. Oh, my. That was a phenomenal comic. That sounds pretty cool. Guys, just like you know. Oh, man.

Starting point is 07:05:26 Go ahead. All right. Sorry. They're letting you know that we are two, we're at 280, almost at two, uh, almost at 281. We're about $101 away from that Haskell. Christian, how about if we had $2.85, that can choke you out live on camera. He wouldn't do that.

Starting point is 07:05:41 I don't like what guys do that. Yeah, he wouldn't do that. Some UFC guys do that and they hold it on long and yeah, yeah. I can do a gentle. Now you don't want that. What if, what if you have a weird reaction? And you're like, yeah, mommy. Something like that, you wake up.

Starting point is 07:05:52 Even that. It's like, and then who's, you're going to host a show for? the rest of this right last show what's that oh will house i'm taking this bitch over that's that's ultimately what he's going to do i'm just going to choke me out to host the show i've turned the curtains over it's my it's my fucking show now all right what's next uh a thing ram let's get sarah for a manager he'd have i got to show him first i'm telling you that's why at the time that we're in the shmodeon you can't manage myself no no no you can come out you come out it's like you'd be like a rocky you know in the corner of creed but that's what i wanted him to do in the new york event but he just

Starting point is 07:06:27 didn't know me well enough yet so like now i can show him if i showed him and told him like what the thing is like overall the movie trivia itself i think we can get him but let's let's see what we got next one not sure about that i'm telling you like it more than you think sol show matt i'm a big fan when are you finally going to convince christian to start rolling hey listen he's been i i'm not saying And I gave up on it. At first, listen, listen, the guy's in shape. And he's got to be passionate about what he's doing.

Starting point is 07:06:59 If I was a little bit closer, I'd give him more shit. Because I'm not too close. If you, if you were closer, I promise you. Let me ask you this question, honestly. Have I told you, have I not come true to my word on things? Oh, 100%. You have not. I can tell you this definitively.

Starting point is 07:07:16 You have not. If you, I have not. Yes. Like a jiu-jibis. But I threw that out there. Now listen, you see, you're going along like I said, you did. You did not. What the fuck you're talking about?

Starting point is 07:07:26 You were telling me, I just got to get in shape first. Look, I'm getting in shape because you were a little chub, not chubby, but a little puffy. Now you got in shape. I come in here. I see shirts. You shirtless on the fucking screen. Tell you to get that off. And then you're in shape.

Starting point is 07:07:40 And now you didn't come down. So what are we even from us working together? Oh, no, that's great. Okay. So my, I mean great with that. Spindlele would tell you that if you live, if you taught one town over, two towns over, and I wasn't going, then you could give me shit. I would.

Starting point is 07:07:56 It's not easy to get to you from. Dude, I know it's far. Yeah. I know it's far. You know what I mean? And listen, if you were sitting, walking in here, breathing and have it like a fat guy, I'd be like, well, you've got to do something. Well, you're taking care of yourself.

Starting point is 07:08:06 Yeah. And I want, and I'm also, you know, it's like, even when I went, I took my daughter there was like, this would be fun to do. It's so great. Yeah, it would be great to do. It's just the matter. And it's like, what I don't want to do is essentially what my daughter had to do is, I can't go this week, we can go this week.

Starting point is 07:08:21 I really, like, commit to it. And like, with the screenings and everything else, too, it's like, you know. Yeah, man, shit, listen, you got with things, a list of important things. Well, I won't be an extremely dangerous, obviously high up on that fucking list. But listen, I know from you hitting that fucking punching machine with one of the Logan brothers, you got a right hand. You can get a bit that. I do a right hand, but it's like, dude.

Starting point is 07:08:45 I'm still paying for that. I'm still paying for it. It hurts bad. What's next? You have to show him Roka when he's off on someone when he got tackled. Now, see, that's the kind of stuff he won't like. What do you mean?

Starting point is 07:08:58 So that was one of the storylines. Roker got in Shmoneh, Roco got tackled. Was it a joke? Yeah, but people didn't know it was joke. It looked real. Oh, okay. Somebody went through a table once too.

Starting point is 07:09:08 Oh, man. What's next? I actually love that. If Kaiser isn't managing Chris Carr, Matt Serra would be awesome. Oh, yeah. He'd be great. You know, one of the things I would try to do with him.

Starting point is 07:09:18 Do I got to, like, play a role? No, no, no, he'd be you. He'd just be you. One of the things that I tried to do at one point, I'm going to see, I don't know if I can do it here, but when I was trying to get us, Dune 2, premier tickets when that came out, I was going to try to get you, I was kind of trying to get you to L.A. to go see it. But I just, I just couldn't get the tickets.

Starting point is 07:09:38 I'd try to, I don't know what they're going to do the premiere here. Is the room is true? Like, this Doomsday is going to be very depressing and they're killing off half the heroes or something? I have no idea. that's what I heard I don't know I don't know I don't know

Starting point is 07:09:50 I don't know I don't know I know nothing about you know I just hope it's good I listen I have confidence it's gonna be something I think it's really good

Starting point is 07:09:57 what's next yeah let's go uh sell X two three Matt do you feel that camp relationships is as important as training when it comes to being

Starting point is 07:10:05 consistent in the UFC seeing a trend where fighters fall off when they have a break with their camp good question you know the grass is always greener

Starting point is 07:10:14 you know what I mean When you're fighting, something goes wrong. You either take accountability or, you know, you got someone to blame. I lost this one. When I started off in the UFC, I got hit with a, I have the privilege of being the first guy to get stopped with a spinning back fist. Everybody told me to leave Ray Longo. Oh, after that happened. After that happened.

Starting point is 07:10:38 Who's a striking coach? Now, I knew he didn't tell me to run into a back fist. I knew that was not his fault. So I think it goes more case to case where I knew I was in good hands. I knew I couldn't do better than Henzo and I wouldn't leave him anyway. Henzo Longo, my circle was small, but I have a ton of savages. I'm extremely loyal. But, you know, I'm with good people.

Starting point is 07:11:01 So you might be in a situation where you're not with somebody that you think's got your best interest. And you might have to switch a camp and stuff like that. But there's also... You never had a doubt. I never had a doubt. And later on... Look at Ray Longo now. He's got four UFC champions.

Starting point is 07:11:15 You know what I mean? Right. So, you know, the grass isn't always greener with that type of thing. And I believe in being with the person, you know, stay with the person that took you to the dance. I love that. Next. Saul, maybe show him the intergeet to match where everyone was convinced Saul's career was done. Then he should.

Starting point is 07:11:32 See, you just want him to show him your match. Get out of here. Ha! What's next? That was a good match, though. Galact hits. How long before Christian gets his bluebell? long would it take you think for me considering i've never been like like i'm i'm i'm curious about

Starting point is 07:11:47 with around within a year going going how long consistently you know if you were there twice a week twice a week you get you yeah but i mean the more the better yeah the longer if you more time you put in yeah it's like that it's no magic pill more time in the match you progress quicker okay next does the kick starter end at 12 a.m or 3 a.m that's you know can you send that pl d to Craig because I don't know the answer to that question. There we go. PLD is sending it to Craig. How about a big shout out with the PLD? He'll be, he's been here

Starting point is 07:12:17 all day on the stream. We're watching too. Big shout out to PLD. I like that. You like PLD. Oh, you know where I took PLD? I'm going to show, actually, let me show Matt this because do it? Do I still have it on here? Yeah, I think I didn't delete that one. What are you showing me? I'm going to show you if I can find it. Where the hell is? I got it. I got it. You got it. Show it. Boom.

Starting point is 07:12:52 It's like, it's insane. It's, it's, it's, it's, just, it's, hang your head in shame with every other slice that you thought was good. Because they've all been demoted. Right? It's like, it is, it's, it's the best. Oh.

Starting point is 07:13:07 Yeah, no, they go for it. Again. And we've got it now. Oh, my. That sauce just explodes in your mouth. It really does. It's like an orgasmese mouth. Yeah.

Starting point is 07:13:29 Yeah. I'll tell you that. He said it, though. He said it. It is. But I took both of them and I raised it. So I have the pleasure. I introduced everybody.

Starting point is 07:13:38 I introduced him to Talios. He's like the spokesman for Talios, but I introduced them. Now me and Rob are close friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was going to try to reach out. I was going to think about Rob coming in to be part of the stream to bring in some pizza. So we show him because I had something to eat things or two. No, it's too late.

Starting point is 07:13:52 Yeah, it's too late. Yeah, it's too late. Next, next one. Yeah, good. Scott, Element, champ. How often do you catch up with G. I love George St. Pierre. Actually,

Starting point is 07:14:03 what he'll, and you, everybody on here should like, would like this is a, he's one of us. Yeah, he sends me, um,

Starting point is 07:14:11 like clips of Star Wars information, what's coming out and stuff like that. He's a big UFO guy too. He's a UFO guy, but with me with the Star Wars, he always sends me stuff on that. Yeah. So I like that.

Starting point is 07:14:23 Yeah. So yeah, we, he messaged me a lot on, on Instagram. So Matt, a lot, but often.

Starting point is 07:14:28 Yeah, Matt's highest, uh, rated podcast that we did was the GSP one. It's a great conversation if you want to watch it on Matt's channel. Such a humble worry. I mean, that was just cool for me too.

Starting point is 07:14:40 Like I was just to be just the level. I was literally, I was the fly on the wall. And just watching the two of them talk. It was it was it's a great conversation. You got to check that up. Such a good guy. All right.

Starting point is 07:14:50 All right. Is Matt doing for me? No, I'm going to show him before we before we, before we get them to you. I got to show him Kate before. Thanks. It ends tomorrow at 11 p.m. Eastern.

Starting point is 07:15:03 11 p.m. Eastern tomorrow. Okay, good to know. Thank you so much. That's when the campaign ends. So you guys, again, as we try to get to that live event, 300,000, so we can get Sam Levine who talked about it. Sam Levine defending the championship against the winner of the tournament, and then Kevin Smets versus Kalinowski. All right, what's next?

Starting point is 07:15:21 Sighting. Yep. Matt, just subscribed. Thank you. I wasn't before you. One of the goats. Oh, man. I like the Wolverine pick.

Starting point is 07:15:27 Yeah, that's great. Thank you. Thank you, buddy. Sean McCabe. Sarah, one of my old army buddies, baby Tim, Tim Connolly has been competing in BJJ out west in Arizona, Nevada. He stole your look. He's got the gie, the ball head, the whole nine yards. I think you'll go far.

Starting point is 07:15:43 All right, good for your friend, baby Tim, Tim, Tim, Connolly. Yeah, so, and him and it's funny because Ming, we should have had you and Ming on at the same time. It would have been hilarious. Look that. We're 20, the shit, man, $26 away from 281. Look at that. exciting.

Starting point is 07:16:00 Next one. Matt, who's your favorite character on Mobland? Says Maeve Harrigan. Thank you, May. I'll tell you right now, it's got to be Tom Hardy. You know, I like Peter, too. I like the son.

Starting point is 07:16:12 I think he's got a, he's got a rough, I mean, what a rough situation. Dude, this is, Mobland is so good. Wait, you didn't see any of it? I saw the first episode and I liked it. Well, the first season, but the second season,

Starting point is 07:16:24 I'm not going to give too much away, but the guy, the main, like one of this new bad guy, is the perfect foil for Harry. And who's Harry's Tom Hardy? Because Tom Hardy, he does not change his composure. Whether he's murdering somebody, he's dealing with stuff with his family, he's cleaning up a murder.

Starting point is 07:16:43 He's just so cool and calm and calculated. This new guy, he reminds me of the Joker. He's just, he's like a mad hatter. Okay. And he's like a wild man, but he's also calculated. So right now, best show out there right now. I'm going to say mobland's the best show. Big shout out to Silo, though.

Starting point is 07:17:02 What's... Silo's another one. What's better? Mobland or this guy's impressive of John Berndall? That was a giraffe. Nothing like John Berthball. Where is that? There it is.

Starting point is 07:17:14 Hold on. Very good. You single? You single or what? I like that, actually. That was the short version of it. That was good. Yeah. Who is that guy?

Starting point is 07:17:29 I don't know. It's all that's eating pizza again. I haven't to delete the long more. I can eat yet. I'm starving. I'm starving right now. I'm killing him. Okay.

Starting point is 07:17:39 Let's get to the next question. I'm going to tell you. Want me to bring you back something? If you don't know, if you, if you would, I will. cooler than you already are. I will. Dany to Carr.

Starting point is 07:17:47 Hey, Matt, do you think there'll ever be another fighter who has the same impact on the UFC as Connor McGregor? Well, listen, he had that in factor where from his swag, to the way he carries himself, the way he is on the mic. So he's one of a kind, you know, but every once in a while,

Starting point is 07:18:06 another star will emerge like that. You know, I have a presence, but he's definitely one for the books, though. Unique character. What's next? Got the champ for another, like, nine minutes, guys. Sell X2, 3.

Starting point is 07:18:20 Matt drives at night and listens to Matchbox 20. Matchbox 20? Which would I, you know what? Close. Sometimes I'll listen to Klee. collective soul you ever hear a run and sometimes i'll listen to uh boys don't cry does that make me soft i'm gonna who anybody to say that to your face is a moron uh right well i like that music but hey you might not be wrong with that as match watt landers or vision quest have you seen vision

Starting point is 07:18:44 question he can write the vision because he didn't like landis really not a big fan of latins because i want to keep it positive yeah but i'll tell you what it now vision quest i didn't watch it i might watch a reaction what my wife on here with oh okay vision but uh lantins i wasn't a huge fan of but i i didn't I thought they did how Jordan dirty. But you're trying to jump off it. I'm not going to get too negative. Look at you. This is our safe place.

Starting point is 07:19:06 It's been a great conversation. It's been great. But this is what I like about the Green Lantern. I loved watching the DC movies. First Flight was about how Jordan get in the ring. It was great. And I also watched the John Stewart one. There was one, man, I'm forgetting the names of them.

Starting point is 07:19:27 There was Emerald Nights that I'm watching now, which was very cool. And now there's another one that, be way of the power. I forgot the fucking hell of it. But I mean, hey, big fan of the DC animated movies. Yeah, and you just watch that Batman one too. The Batman Nightfall, besides my brother-in-law, almost falling asleep. He's a garbage man. He gets a pearly.

Starting point is 07:19:46 Guys on the trucks. He's driving a truck. He was fucking Edwin was falling asleep. But he enjoyed it. I go, dude, if I'm having you back, you got the fucking stay. The part that he saw, you like it. But I really like that, man. And they made Bain like he was, uh, they made him like, yeah, they did.

Starting point is 07:20:01 Yeah. Maybe over like 20,000. Yeah. Something, but they made him like, uh, the Hulk in that thing. Oh, okay. I really enjoyed that. 289.74 guys as we're approaching 281. So, I'll do it when, you know, I can do another, um, phone call at 281.

Starting point is 07:20:16 Well, you guys decide who you want me to call. Joseph Ashley, how do you use that warrior's mentality to break through depression? Impression is a real thing. Yeah. Now look, this is what I feel with depression is. You have to get moving. And what happens is your body gives off endorphins, whatever kind of work me out you want to do,

Starting point is 07:20:33 for me, it's jujitsu. I feel so much better. Like I'll teach that morning class Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I'm up at 7. I'm up at 5 a.m. But I teach a 7 a.m. class where even when I'm not rolling, I'm sweating. I'm moving.

Starting point is 07:20:45 And it starts the day off right. You have to really do that. And then don't overthink the little problems, you know, because, you know, worrying is not going to help. That's true. just work on yourself uh great question great question great answer uh be gill studios question for matt have you ever thought about being a fight choreographer for indie films that would be dope no i think it's a different thing with um even though there's some cool like you'll see an

Starting point is 07:21:09 arm lock here or a nice hip throw there but i think the stunt you know fighting is different than actual fighting and i don't know how great i'd be at that that's fair um but i definitely have talked to man about like one of the things i would love to do in whether it's seasons two or season three of trending is have that that danny's trying to do uh because well i told you in my in my mind the when i'm thinking about his danie's brother my character in the it told you who i wanted to play his brother like my my ideal casting for that frank grillo yeah see that yeah yeah and so i got the memory of a goldfish i don't know and and to have like to have i would love to have matt in an episode of trending i think it'd be amazing um all right what's next

Starting point is 07:21:53 Haskell, Matt, how often do you go to your Huntington location? Is there a set schedule? I stopped in a few months ago when you said I should stop in. I did, but you were at the other location. There is no other location. Yeah. So if I wasn't there, I might have been here. I'm either at my house or I'm doing this or I'm at my school.

Starting point is 07:22:13 You had another location at one point. At one point, maybe that was ages ago because the pandemic took one. Best thing that ever happened to me. So I'm only at the Sarah B.J. in Huntington. It's a huge spot, as you've seen. And that's my happy place. It's a great school. I make sure it's all good people there. It is. It's my way or the Long Island Expressway. It's a good crowd. It's a great vibe. It's a good crowd. Family crowd. It is. It is. And that one's absolutely right that Princess Positive. What she said. She's a little bit earlier on.

Starting point is 07:22:41 She said something about with ADD and it. And it's good to get going. Where is it? Look at that. Big thing for your world depression and ADHD is you have to get moving early in the morning. Oh, 100%. I believe of that. Yeah. Very good there, Princess Positive. I like that. I like to be positive.

Starting point is 07:22:58 Go on, Peele-D. Sammy, Mr. Sarah, what do you do to make sure you can keep yourself the most positive mood you can be? Your channel's an absolute blast to watch too, good, sir. You know, I don't concentrate on the negativity, the negative stuff. You know what I mean? I try to concentrate on the positive. I like being around my family. I like being around my students.

Starting point is 07:23:17 I like watching fun stuff on my, on my streaming and positive stuff, stuff that motivates me, you know, whether it's one of these DC animated movies or a series that I get into, I get them into them, and I get engulfed to them, and I just try to keep it positive, you know?

Starting point is 07:23:36 You can't, and part of that is you've got to eliminate, you got to get negativity out of your life like a cancer. And if there's a person that, you're like, oh, I'm keeping this person around, because they're not a bad guy. They're just down in the dumps all the time. They got to do something for themselves or just maybe not hang out with that person. Great answer.

Starting point is 07:23:54 And I think great way to transition. Look, at 281. We had 281 with the champ here. Oh, man. Amazing. Thank you. That is, what a way to end it there. It's all over.

Starting point is 07:24:02 I've gone. Yeah, I got another guest coming in real soon. I don't want to do that. I don't want to take, you know. But we did an hour. We did an hour. And I got to do. I have so much fun.

Starting point is 07:25:03 Good to have him on here. Now, I get really lucky. And really, do. Someone pointed this out in the comments section about, like, the cool people that have popped into this and the people that I've met along the way to um and and just the amazing conversations we had whether it was just sam levine beforehand matt sarah you know we have um and greg alba and everybody and the crew that was in here before it's really nice and and

Starting point is 07:25:28 it's not stopping now i had and you know it's funny and we'll i guess we'll talk about this when he pops in i still try to figure out how we initially kind of met because i know that we probably both knew about each other in the circle um but when we were doing schmodowns stuff. And the one name to just kept popping up. People like, have you asked so-and-so to do this? Have you asked? And the name that kept coming up was, have you asked Josh Harwoods to do the Schmode-out? And I said, I'm going to do that right now because that's what I needed to do. I always was a fan of his work. I was a fan of everything that he had done.

Starting point is 07:26:00 And now, I'm even excited because, as I said to Sarah, I'm, I'm happy to now say that I can call Josh Harwitz a friend because we do, we've done a lot of kind of stuff together. We've helped each other out. We, we consistently just check in on each other and see her we're doing and he's crushing it if you've ever seen most of the news that comes out of clips from people talking about things are from josh harwitz's interviews he gets everybody he's been doing some really smart stuff with some of the interviews lately you can check out the josh harwitz um his youtube channel you can check out his clips channel happy sat confused it's amazing show without any further ado let's bring him in ladies and gentlemen josh harwit is here hello miss

But even, but dude, you know what's so funny about it? It's like when we started kind of talking YouTube stuff and all those things together, even your setup now is dramatically better than what I've come. Look at this. A hundred percent. Incremental.

Starting point is 07:27:07 But now, dude, you're getting everybody now. I mean, you were getting a lot of good guests, but you get, you get everybody now. You just get that, you said Affleck on. you got everybody and so it has it you feel like it's picked up once you kind of because you've been shooting a lot in studios in the studio now too are you shooting in gotham or is that no i don't do get got them although i know yeah i've i've toyed it with it i use a studio downtown and um yeah it's been i do feel like there wasn't like one like jumping off like from like one level to another but i i definitely like when i step back and take a macro view the last like six months

Starting point is 07:27:43 year I definitely feel like if you look at the guests I've always been good I've always been very proud of the guest list but I I feel like I am in a groove knock on wood um fresh the studio look has the consistent studio look has helped and look as you alluded to you were a very early I mean you really were the guy that pushed me onto YouTube like when I've been doing the podcast happy second fuse for probably seven eight years and you were like what the hell are you doing with your life and you were right and you were right and so yeah You were a major factor in the evolution of happy second views. So I was happy to come on to support this amazing project.

Starting point is 07:28:21 And I'm glad. And I also just too that you, this year, because I don't, I don't apply to Comic Con anymore. I just don't, I don't do it. And you were very kind to help me kind of, because my daughter has been dying to go to Comic Con. And I got the chance to take her this year. And thank you for helping us out with that. And she had a blast, man.

Starting point is 07:28:42 It was a lot of fun watching her. Like she dressed up as one of her, his Dagan Romp. I don't know if you know what that is, but it's like a game that she loves and she was dressed up as it. She saw other people and it just made her day. Oh, good. You got somebody had a good time because it almost killed me. Well, it was just too much? It's great.

Starting point is 07:29:01 I mean, I'm kind of being facetious, but like, again, I'm very lucky. Like New York Comic Con uses me a lot. So I monitored, I think, like five or six things over a few days. Oh, shit. It was also like New York Film Festival was going on. Because I'm not a weird kind of like intersection, you know, of, you know, obviously I love the geek stuff and the conflict stuff and the franchise stuff. But I also like I'm a big awards guy. I love like, quote unquote high breath stuff.

Starting point is 07:29:25 So like I'm getting like all the awards people at the same time as I'm doing like the superhero stuff. So like New York Film Festival, which has like the Oscar hopefuls where everybody was in town at the same time as like whale fall and violent night. Yeah. Yeah. But it was all good problems. It was amazing. Yeah. I know. It's a really great problem.

Starting point is 07:29:42 And people, by the way, so while we have, we have Josh for about half an hour. So while we do, and same thing, PLD do. Let's light up any questions coming in specifically for Josh that are coming in and we'll ask questions. And then so everybody knows currently, what a day we had today, Josh. We're almost at 281.024. We just hit that today. We started out in the, I think it was at the 2 30s this morning. So we're getting close.

Starting point is 07:30:09 I don't know if you saw the news, but we, we announced Kevin Pollock. Amazing. And at 300,000, I swap in for Kevin Pollock. I get his role. So there's an incentive. Jump that. dump that guy. That's it. So have you had a chance? Have you ever spoken to him? You know what? I haven't. He's a legend, though. I was so psyched.

Starting point is 07:30:28 I did not get the insider heads up on that. When I saw that pop up on my feet, I was like, epic. I mean, he read the script, really responded to it and wanted to do it. And we're, we, I can't wait to, I can't wait to do it. It's like, it's, it's just so exciting. But I see the reason I also bring that up is because he, he has clips. I see his clips on the Rich Eisen show kind of going viral all the damn time. And I was like, oh, I'd look to see him chatting up, chatting it up with, with Josh. Well, he did.

Starting point is 07:30:55 Does he still do the, but he was kind of an early podcaster, wasn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, and he would do like two and a half hour conversations. Yeah. Well, Sam Levine, who we just had on was, uh, what he used to do the show. That's right. He was like, yeah, totally. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 07:31:09 Yeah. No, he's great. You should look up if you have, and not to put you on the spot on your Kevin Pollack knowledge, but he was in a film and I'm blanking on the name of it where he played, I think the president. I think it was a Rod Worry movie and he was like in a, he was in, it was a cool self-contained story where like there was like a potential like nuclear disaster going on and everybody was like bunkered in. Deterrence.

Starting point is 07:31:30 There it is. Check it out. Put it on the list. Where he played president Walter Emerson. There it is. Okay. You can do it all. Look at that. That is amazing. So we are, we're here now with with Josh Horowitz. We're talking some stuff. If there are questions you guys have for Josh, please bring them up. But, you know, what, you know, it's when you mentioned earlier about how when we were talking about, look at 281.046. Thank you guys. When we were, when we were doing, we were talking about YouTube and, and all that, the constant name that we always referenced that both of us was what Chris Van and Bleet was doing, right?

Starting point is 07:32:10 And I, and we both said, that's what we're kind of both striving for is what he does in the wrestling world. I got to tell you, man, I think you're, I think you're, that's what you're doing now. I think you have achieved that and appreciate it. Yeah, dude. He was a model. He, he, he, he, yeah, we both concussed endlessly about what Chris did. Yeah.

Starting point is 07:32:28 In terms of like the way I approach clips in terms of the way, like structural things. Yeah. Obviously, we each have our own style, our own niche. I actually hit him up when I was going to. to talk to John Sina. Like I had seen him on the show recently. I'm like, smart, very smart. Well, I was just basically like I just watched your interview.

Starting point is 07:32:45 I have nothing left. Like, I can't even compete. Like, I mean, I'm not even going to pretend to have like a wrestling conversation with John Sina because it's just not my, my area of expertise. So, you know, obviously I doubled down more of the acting stuff. But yeah, I love what he continues to do over there. And he's still a resource that I will pick the brain of any time. But you've pivoted in that way, too.

Starting point is 07:33:04 I've noticed from your clips and things that what you've done, I think even with the one recently with them. Oh my god. Maccaboy. Thank you. I'm streaming for almost the ago. The Maccaboy one. And just watching him that clip out of picking his favorite movie and going so smart in the way that you pivoted to the way that shorts work and the way that clips work. And I'm sure that those have helped grow your channels out tremendously of those types of clips. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 07:33:34 That's become a recurring bit that I do with actors with a certain. level of filmography is kind of like putting their films against each other. And it's fun to watch like their brains melt as they try to like do it. Like I don't think I ran the Benicio Deltoro one because he literally just like like just short circuit and he's like I can't. I can't. Um, and then like Tom Hiddleston, who's like beautifully like eloquent long winded man on the planet.

Starting point is 07:33:57 It's like 12 minutes into it. I'm like Tom, I got to, we got to get going man. You got to choose one. That's so great. And you guys, you got a pretty good relation. I went. So for people, when I, I was still in L.A. and Josh was there for doing a show.

Starting point is 07:34:12 He had, I told him, I know you're doing that live event with Tom Hiddleston, and he was generously hooked up with a really nice seat. So I got to watch that. You guys have a really good relationship. There are other live events that you do. So before we get into questions here, what's your next live event that you're doing? People in New York. Yeah, if you're in New York, we've got a bunch of really cool stuff.

Starting point is 07:34:29 What are you got? Like active season. So I just did Sasha Baron Cohen last night coming up. I'm doing Jamie Dornin and Anthony Mackey together. for their new Apple series 12, 12, 12, and they are, they've made a film together in the past, and I know from experience they're both super fun. That's like November,

Starting point is 07:34:46 I don't know, you've got to go to the nice, second street, Wyatt website, mid-November. We have just announced, I think this is out there. You're going to be interested in this one. Okay. David, David, Coren Sweat. I'm getting David Corence sweat for a live event tied to his film, Mr. Irrelevant, which I've seen, is excellent.

Starting point is 07:35:02 Yeah. Are you seen it? Really good. Are you a giant's guy or not as much as, like, the- I grew up. up like Giants Jets. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 07:35:09 Okay. But he's graded in and you can count on me going hard on Superman. Well, so when is that? Because I might want to, I might come on it. It's December 8th, I believe. I've got something cooking with Hiddleston again for his. He's coming back to Broadway. That's going to be announced soon.

Starting point is 07:35:29 Percy Jackson, I think I've got an event coming up. So some of these haven't been announced yet, but yeah. It's so funny. We've talked about this one for you. So I wouldn't have paid you for that one. You know that if you get one particular person and you don't call me, then it's going to be a problem, right? We've talked to this reason.

Starting point is 07:35:42 Oh, yeah. I know. I know it's Sarah Silverman? Nope. You said, you had said one point you said, I'd never paid you for being a so-and-so person. And when I asked you,

Starting point is 07:35:52 it said, remind me. No, Silverman was a different joke. It was a different story. Oh, but you want to take one more shot at it? We'll see.

Starting point is 07:36:00 Give me a hand. Give me a quick hand. Iconic, iconic figure in movies. It's been around for a little, bit, but iconic movie star. No, I'm blanking too. I'm fried.

Starting point is 07:36:12 Julia Roberts. Yes, yeah, I did it. Yeah, you're right. Still confusing. Why? Dude, it's just one, it was just one of those, it just, you know, the one, the first time your heart just stops

Starting point is 07:36:25 when you see somebody when you're watching a movie. And I was just like, and pretty woman was that. And I just think she's, I actually thought that for what she did in, after the hunt was, I thought she was phenomenal in that movie. That's Winona for me. And the fact that Winona, I now know, like, has been on the podcast three times is like, childhood Josh is like, right.

Starting point is 07:36:45 Yeah, right. So, and that's, and so like, yeah, because she's, because you'd mention it. It's funny because Paul Rudd and her are going to be on Broadway again. And I was like, oh, you get Broadway show. You get those two. I'm going to be there. That's a good call. I haven't investigated yet, but I will.

Starting point is 07:36:59 There you go. Yeah, they go. I think it's like February of March. Anyway, so let's get to some questions for Josh 281, 121. Look at this. Josh Harwitz bringing in the dough. here. Thank you, Josh. What's my cut of this again? What do I get? Remind me.

Starting point is 07:37:12 We'll get your front seats to the new Shmowdown thing. Just ensure that I don't see Griffin Newman, that he comes nowhere near me. No. No, didn't you? You went up against Paul Walter Hauser, didn't you? Yes. I think that was a good. That was a good match. That was a really good match. Paul was good. He was amazing. Yeah, so that was, that was a great, yeah, that whole, that's right, because Griffin, it was the New York event. I'm sorry, I brought it up. No, that's fine. We're going to do some stuff in L.A. We're doing, we're shooting at the at the rendezvous restaurant in Burbank for the tournament and then the winner will play Sam Levine for the championship but if we if you are in LA when we're doing it of course I would

Starting point is 07:37:47 love to have you there and if we do and and the other thing the same thing I told to Sarah I think we'll probably do an after party or a premiere party for the for the for trending for the show and if it's in New York I would be honored to have you there obviously I'll be there of course so all right let's let's get some of these questions for Josh Pildee let's do it all right Prince's positive question for Josh. How surprised were you when Affleck was that honest about his feelings on the Snyder situation? That interview was awesome. Thanks.

Starting point is 07:38:14 Appreciate you. Yeah, you know what? I wasn't super surprised. Like, he had been on the top of my list for the podcast for years. That was your first time interviewing him? I'd interviewed him before, but never like the long form.

Starting point is 07:38:27 Got it. And A, because he's got an insane filmography, both as an actor and a director, and he's just part of the last 30 years of film. But also, he gives great interviews. If he's in the right mood, like he is very candid, very smart, kind of unfiltered. He's in a good place right now. And I was the last interview of his press

Starting point is 07:38:47 tour. So I was in a good, I was in a sweet spot. He was wrapping it up. That was that. Rapping it up. And yeah, it didn't take much. He, yeah, as you saw, he kind of like was pretty open on how like they kind of shafted Zach and used his tragedy against him. Really sad. Um, not especially surprising, but like, but it was, it was great to have him be that. And also, also what is what honestly, what does he get to? At this point. At this point, first of all, none of those people are even at Warner Brothers anymore, right? A lot of them. Right. And it's also at this point where he is in his career, what does he give a shit. So well, that that's kind of had the, I've had this experience a few times. So talking to Zach on the podcast recently talking to Gall got out on the podcast. Affleck. There enough distance has now passed where I feel like people are a little more open about like what actually went down. 100%. All right. What's next, Pildee? Another question. Has Ryan Goskin paid you for your fee for getting him the Ghost Rider roll? I called Josh after I saw all that stuff and I was like, you should be getting, you should be getting the agent fee for this particular movie. I know. What a crazy. That was crazy. For people who don't know, Josh had asked Ryan Gosling repeatedly about the ghostwriter stuff and I think he brought it up to Kevin Feigy and then he essentially brokered the deal. Yeah, it was crazy. So to answer your question, no, no percentage, no offer of a cameo, no hosting a carpet. But they haven't even gotten some production yet.

Starting point is 07:40:10 We'll see. You should be interviewing anybody you want from that production. Well, it's like the back story, like a little behind the scenes of that, the way that all went down, you set it up well. Like three days before that Comic-Con panel, I basically, I think I can say this, like, Fygis folks reached out to me and was like, can you get on the fun with Kevin Faggy? was like, shitting my pants. I'm like, what did I do? Like, well, I'm like, yeah, I'm, I can talk. Get on the phone with Kevin. And he's like, do you know what this is about? I'm like, no, Kevin Faggy. I don't know what this is about. Right. And he explained that it was actually

Starting point is 07:40:45 Ryan's idea to involve me in the announcement. And yeah, I got a chance to thank Ryan and he internment me after the panel. It was really cool. That's that goes that shows a lot about his character. Totally. He's a class act. He's really cool. That shows a lot about his character. And I always liked him, but that goes that goes even farther. That's that's that's solid. I like hearing that. All right. Hildee,

Starting point is 07:41:06 what you got next? Josh, what was the most surprising experience you've ever had with a guest as Mel does reviews? Oh my God. That's that's too, too big. Surprising experience I've had with a guest. Oh,

Starting point is 07:41:21 I don't have a good. Turn the tables on you here, Josh. This is why I'm a crappy interview. This is horrible. Anything recently that you were like, Wow. Was it expected that or? Well, you know, I wasn't so surprised, but the latest podcast that just went up today was Jenna Ortega. And I can say that that she has really good taste, like really good taste for

Starting point is 07:41:41 like a young person, like 24 and like, you know, kind of seems to have a sophisticated and real curiosity of got film. So that's cool, refreshing to see a young person. Though she also, she was telling me that she, she's watching a lot of action films lately, kind of indirectly for a role. She's playing a gymnast. So she's like like just getting strong. So she wants to like be inspired by action films. So she's like, I'm starting on the Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Starting point is 07:42:08 Oh, wow. I'm like, oh, great. And I'm like, okay, what are you watching? And she's like, well, I just watched Junior. Oh, no. Did you start with Junior? You started with, sorry with Junior. And I'm like, what about like, I'm like, total recall.

Starting point is 07:42:19 And she's like, what? I'm like, no, no, no. Who's guiding her? I know. So I wrote her up a list. I've sent over Jenna Ortega of my action movie go-to list. So. Predator.

Starting point is 07:42:29 Total recall term. Yeah, I mean, I went beyond Arnold, but yes, those were all there. Okay, but Arnold, the Commando. Yeah. But Command, they can do better than Commando. I mean,

Starting point is 07:42:40 an act, but a pure 80s action movie, you can't do any better than a pure 80s. I mean, that's movies ridiculous in the best, in the best 80s way movie. But just imagine Jenna Ortega watching Commando, like without the context of what the 80s were.

Starting point is 07:42:52 Imagine her watching Junior. This is true. This is true. I mean, the fact that she went to junior before twins, That's what I'm saying. Who goes to Junior? Someone is,

Starting point is 07:43:03 someone has to get out of her life. Wrong that is. You do not go to Junior. He's the other different things that you do there. Josh will give you the list. He will send it and then we watch a video with whiskey and Lulu. Thank you so. Exactly.

Starting point is 07:43:15 Lil' him. He's the man with the bag. Yeah. Have you ever interviewed him, by the way, Arnold? I have. I have. He's also podcast goals. I'm working on it.

Starting point is 07:43:24 He's got a movie and a book coming. Oh, that's another. You do that one live. That's another one. I'm in MASH. Have Josh read the script for trending? He has not. Would you like to? I mean, no pressure.

Starting point is 07:43:37 I would absolutely send it to you. I mean, it is, so Wendy O'Brien, who's a Emmy Awardwin cast, she's our casting director, which we just had, we had her on, I played her interview. I have been, I mean, look, I'm not going to lie. I've been pretty over, really, oh, now, over almost not the right word,

Starting point is 07:43:58 blown away with the response to the script. And the fact, and this is what I, to repeat it, and I said this to Sam, and I said this beforehand too and say to you, like, there's so many different things when Kevin Pollock, when it was sent to Kevin Pollock, the first thing is, how amazing in this, Kevin Pollock has the script. That's a win all in itself. Yeah. It took the time to read it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The second win is Kevin Pollock loved your script. The third is he, he, he, even if you would have said, I don't, I just don't want to, it like the script, I just don't find anything in there for me.

Starting point is 07:44:31 It would have been a win. And then one of the things is at the end of the, there's one particular role that we thought, because I didn't know how available he's going to be. So what about this one? I want that role, a bigger role. And I'm like, holy shit, you know,

Starting point is 07:44:42 so just being blown away by this and the work that Martini and I put in it. So I would love to, I'd love to get you. You're a comedy guy too, so I'd love to get your thoughts on. No, I mean, the, the, the miracle of getting anything made at all is, you know, as you well know, how the odds are stacked against us nowadays. I mean, yeah. And, you know, I've had experience with this. I've, you know, I wrote a show for Comedy Central way back when that we somehow kind

Starting point is 07:45:06 of willed into existence. And so the fact that you're now where you're at and you're getting like the folks attached to it that you are like, and it's going to happen. It's amazing. It's literally it's happening. It's crazy. So, I mean, in the fact that like, and look, we're 281, why they say if we're trying. So for people who are curious about it, we're, so boardwalk pictures and Andrew

Starting point is 07:45:24 Fried, who's our director and producer, you know, of last chance you chef's table welcome to wrex him and that's just you know one of many and he's directing it um like having him involved and watching what boardwalk pictures did because josh you know and i've said this before most pilots because we've said our show is pretty much like the bear meets hacks is kind of what the vibe of our show is right um this uh that type of show is usually between a 1.5 to $3 million tag on a pilot, right? Now, we know we weren't going to do that. But World Rock pictures put together, he said, look, I said to, I said to Andrew, I said, let's do,

Starting point is 07:46:02 there are two questions here. One, what is the, what is the goal to really what we can do in a package production here and really make all this work, get a DP we want, get the Cassonies? And they priced it out between like, between 320 to 340. And then I said, okay, well, here's my second question, because when it comes to kick started like that no one has really done on a independent scripted comedy that really hasn't been done now outside of like you know movies and other things you go with the guild just did but script it just hasn't happened so what is the lowest that we could do that if we had to we could shoot a pilot and we came

Starting point is 07:46:41 up with the 200 right and so we hit that in seven days and now we're at the end of the campaign and we're we're not too far away from that three four eight two eight 21 and I still think we're in a pretty good spot regardless of where we where we wind up right now i think we're going to make something pretty special that's amazing what's the what's the maybe i'm putting on the spot what's the time one when are you trying to get cameras up so um Andrew is going to be on Andrew's going to close out this show today um and that question will probably be asking what he said last time no no i'll give you what he said last time and i don't know if that's changed but i know that like January February was was kind of was kind of like what we were looking is

Starting point is 07:47:21 Now, once this is over, then it goes into the Wendy conversation of, all right, let's, let's start casting this thing. Now that we know what we have, and then it gets real, you know. It is real. I mean, yeah, it's real now, I guess, too. So then it gets real. It's pretty real. Yeah, it's pretty real. I guess the fact that you say, hey, asshole, Kevin Pollock's your show.

Starting point is 07:47:42 It's fucking real, idiot. Yeah, yeah. Start of deterrence. The star of deterrence, guys. 100%. All right. What do you got next, Pell did? The question, Josh, I love your interviews from Draven Mark,

Starting point is 07:47:54 especially the AJR Hona one. That was pretty good when you were trying to break her side. That was really good how you did that, by the way. That was very good in the betting idea. Very, very smooth. And we're going to have a payoff. I know. It's going to happen.

Starting point is 07:48:07 Yeah, thank you for that. Yeah, sometimes, you know, you want to find, you know, to be clear, I sometimes put actors on the spot, filmmakers on the spot, asking the very direct question, like, are you this person, whatever, like all the rumors. I don't want to spoil anything. I don't really want like the announcement that Adria Arhoni is Wonder Woman on my show. Like I get it. They have a plan. I'm not there to, you know,

Starting point is 07:48:30 F it up for them. But to joke around about it is fair game. I'm making an entertaining show. I like the game of it all. And yeah, that kind of gamified it, kind of placing a bet, putting it up for charity. It was kind of like on the spot. I really wasn't even like that wasn't really a pre.

Starting point is 07:48:45 So much fun. Yeah. I think it's a major mistake. If they, I'm curious how you feel about this. because I've been pretty vocal about it. If she's not, and with all this hype behind it that she is, do you think it's a mistake for them not, to not say anything, right?

Starting point is 07:49:01 Yeah, they probably should get ahead of it. But I feel, and I don't have any insight in, joke just to be very clear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She has to be. Right? She has to be. Like, it seems insane. It would be a real error to, because I think that even if Manit Tomorrow is awesome,

Starting point is 07:49:17 I just think it's a real error to get the, audience all riled up like that and to punt it down the line you got to get this movie you got to start to introduce the the Holy Trinity the whole thing and like yeah and honestly and based on the way she reacted I do think like that I betrayed is a little bit she was wrong a little too much yeah I think so too all right what's what's next we got a guilty well thanks why am I in the bubble I just want to say these the next two questions are the exact running the gamut of our audience just so you know I can't wait all right

Starting point is 07:49:50 Sam, Josh, here's a question. Someone who went through the tonal whiplash of New York Film Festival and New York Comic Con, what's a movie or person that pleasantly surprised you? Okay. Yeah. You know, I'd never met Austin Abrams, and he was awesome. I did the Whalefall panel, and I'd watch some interviews with him, and he's kind of like a little shy and low-key,

Starting point is 07:50:13 and he still was on the panel, but we had a really nice chat backstage. He was very nice. he apparently knew my stuff, which was really, that's the easy way. He's, easily, honestly, just so you like my shit. And I'm like, yeah, you're amazing. No, but he did. He seemed like really cool and like just in it for the right reasons. And like, yeah, he's not like super like movie star on stage, but he still got it.

Starting point is 07:50:37 So I was impressed by him. And I think, you know, I'm excited for all the stuff he's got going on. I think he's super talented. I didn't. I loved his stuff in Wellful. I loved his stuff and Wellful. I got. Well, it's not a home run for me.

Starting point is 07:50:48 But yeah, but I thought. what he did. And I said this, I think the fact that the studio had that much confidence in him to do what they gave to Tom Hanks and castaway years and years after he's done it and what they did with Project Hell Mary, but to get that after what, two or three films?

Starting point is 07:51:05 28, yeah, exactly. Yeah. I mean, he's, he is so, it's so funny. He is so like clearly like, alt, Timothy Shalame, like, body type by. Like, he's like, and, but what a great place to be in to get, like, the leftovers of Timothy Shalme. He can't, Timothy shall me can't do more than one or two movies a year so he's in a great position speaking on julie roberts is what sandra bullock did with which we stop with the julia rober can we just calm it's getting

Starting point is 07:51:29 weird dude come on man it's 2026 not so what i just bring it up the sandra bullock aspect of it you get no i see what you're doing you're sick sandra bullock you're a problem i do we all see it and people people say that the reason i marry my wife it's not true it's not true i hope this is addressed in the show it is your julia robert's obsession all right what's what is uh what's next Mike Rios any celebrities that gave gas skinned this is this is the gold I appreciate that

Starting point is 07:51:59 uh gassy interviews you know what what comes to my I know I've thought my head no what I remember my stomach grumbling during a very early interview with Vera Farmiga oh no great actor yeah I think it was I think it was for like up in the air

Starting point is 07:52:15 this is a long time ago at a junket and I will always remember see the small thing you remember? I just remember just like that coming out of my stomach. But your stomach, you weren't going to rip one. No. I'm a classy dude. I had that sealed up long ago. That's impossible.

Starting point is 07:52:30 All right. What's next? LeQuannis for Josh, do you think the DCU has misstepped with Clayface after Supergirl is doomed to reboot? I don't think the sky is falling. I tend not to be so like, oh, they're out. It's all going to hell. I think, I haven't seen Clayface yet.

Starting point is 07:52:50 So I'm curious. It sounds like it's solid, if not, like, you know. If there's something like we would have watched as kids on like showtime at like, you know, two in the morning or something. Yeah. I mean, and I'm sure as you've talked about like budget wise, it doesn't have to make that it'll be fine. Even if it's whatever, it'll be fine.

Starting point is 07:53:09 Even it breaks even or loses a little money. It's not, it all rests on the shoulders of man. No, it's 100%. I mean, Supergirl is unmitigated failure. No, no. sands or butts like unfortunately that that happened and well that is a mark but yeah man of tomorrow if man up tomorrow somehow doesn't doesn't hit then then we can talk seriously even if clay face bombs it's it's not it's not intended to be like the order of magnitude of it it doesn't it's a blip

Starting point is 07:53:34 in their ledger it's not doesn't matter yeah that's why they made it for as little as they did um all right let's we got just for a couple more minutes let's get a couple more uh michigan gym carrier drew Carrie for Happy Sack and Fuse. I know my answer. Imagine if I said Drew Carrie. What kind of psychopath would I be? I mean, all respect to Drew Carey. Right. Jim Carrey. Right. Jim Carrey. Amazing. Yeah, he's been,

Starting point is 07:53:55 he's on the list. I've tried. He doesn't do much. I mean, I've done, I've done, you know, I did a sketch with him once. Did you really? For Bert Wonderstone, classic film. I did a sketch with him and Steve Carell. You're in the movie? No, no, no. Like an actual like a scripted sketch. It wasn't even scripted. A comedy sketch for a comedy.

Starting point is 07:54:13 Central. He was amazing. Of course he was. They both were. So I've had time with Jim, but never a podcast. How fun. How fun was that? 281, 221. Look at that guys. We're moving. Not too far from that big old live event goal. All right, what's next?

Starting point is 07:54:29 Josh from Cell X23. You've interviewed many actors. Not sure if you've interviewed Jensen Eccles, but apart from Jensen being the next live Batman pick. Who is your pick after Robert? I haven't put in the time to think about this. I'm not like a like, you know, I don't know, I mean, I know Jensen

Starting point is 07:54:45 Eccles who he is, but I haven't really like, I haven't watched a lot of his work. I wouldn't put him on my list necessarily, but for no reason other than I'm not familiar. Who is on the list? Who are the ones that people always talk about? Alan Richardson? As far as, what's about Brandon Skunar? I don't think against Brandon Skunar, but I don't necessarily, he doesn't jump to the top for me. I bet you that changes.

Starting point is 07:55:08 I think that guy's going to be one of the next big movie stars. Really? They keep pitching him to me for the podcast. I should say yes. I think you should say yes. I think that guy's going to be a big movie. Did you watch 1923? Wait, wait, 1923, which one?

Starting point is 07:55:20 Oh, oh, yeah, I thought I was in 1917. I'm like, what? No, I never watched 1923. I saw The Housemaid and I thought he was fun in that. Right. So that's that 1923 is what sold me. Like, I would have just seen those other movies, the house, I didn't see Housemate, but I didn't,

Starting point is 07:55:33 and that other one that he did with, I can't remember what it was for the, the horror movie, the thriller. Yeah, yeah, yeah, with a Megan Fahey. He was good, he was really good in it, but that's not the one that would have sold me. It's 1923 and I've talked about my wife and I were watching going he he's got that thing that are not a lot of movie stars have anymore. He has like, I'm not going to go as for me. Obviously Harrison Ford is in 1923, but he's got that thing, that charisma, the machismo thing that a lot of actors just don't have that thing anymore.

Starting point is 07:56:02 And I think he's got that thing. So I don't know. I think he's going to be a big star, but we'll see. What's the pick today? Have you guys talked about bond today with all the bond rumors? What's the what's what's what's what's what's what I mean the three out of the out of those three that came up and who what was it Pildee the the three names that came up remember there were a few so there was finalized today wasn't it Jack Loudham it was um Josh O'Connor I heard today yeah yeah um I heard a wardie but then they said maybe not awardee didn't have a calendar I believe calendar that was it out of those I would say the first one one that you just said. Jack Loudoun? Yeah. I think so too. Yeah, that's that to me.

Starting point is 07:56:47 I don't know if you're slow horses guy, but I like slow horses. I think he's got a good look. No, I want to watch slow horses. And I hear it's great. And I like Joshua Connor. I just don't know if I seem as bond, but I'm kind of intrigued by Joshua Connor. He's, he would be a wildcard pick because he's not like conventional handsome like thing, but like, but I mean, he'd be a different way to go, which is a totally different way. And I'm a big fan of his. I thought he, I thought he single hand like that what he did in Knives Out and that last Knives Out movie was amazing. Great. And disclosure day was fine.

Starting point is 07:57:15 It wasn't, you know, but anyway. All right, let's get one more for Josh and we'll let him go. Question. Is Josh seen, you can see everything and what percentage chance would you give it getting a best picture nomination? There's a rumor that he'd be the first documentary ever nominated for best picture. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have seen it. Humble Bragg.

Starting point is 07:57:32 I got, I was at the Telleride Film Festival. This was like the famous, like, debut secret screening. Nobody even knew the movie had been made yet. and they showed it to us. It was like honestly top five cinematic experiences in my life. I just see that in that environment. Absolutely loved it.

Starting point is 07:57:46 The hype is real, obsessed. It's like the nexus. I love both crazy Elizabeth Holmes stories and I love Nathan Fielder. So yes, yes, yes. I never claimed to be an Oscar. I never claimed to be a prognosticator in Oscars, but it really does feel like,

Starting point is 07:58:01 I mean, it is the movie everybody is obsessed with it right now. That and it has the same kind of buzzed that obsession did. So we can obsess like where, So we'll, I mean, I haven't seen it yet. So I'm going to go and check it out. I think as of today, like I would as a documentary. Wow. Okay.

Starting point is 07:58:17 On being the first doc to be nominated for Best Picture. Well, Josh, thank you, dude, for coming in here and being part of this. It means a lot to me as we're wrapping this thing up. And yeah, well, I'll talk to you more about as we get closer and closer to the production of it. And when we're doing things, I'd love to have some stuff in New York. And then we just got to, and then let me know about your events because I'd love to come check you out. Anytime. Hey, guys, support this guy. Make it happen. 300K or bust. Let's do this thing.

Appreciate you. All right. Talk to you later. Bye, guys. Please go and check out on his channel. He's, he really is. He's a great guy. I really like Josh a lot. He's a very kind human being. We've got a chance to become buddies. And I just like what he does. I think he's good for the business. I think he's got what, what Van Blee does, and so I brought up with him.

Starting point is 07:59:08 People like talking to Chris, people like talking to Josh because he's not a gotcha interviewer. He's a guy that like, he'll, he's not afraid to ask you the questions. He'll ask you, he's not, he's not going to ask you just the safe questions. But he's also, he's not trying to like just get a headline. He likes talking to people. So go and check him out if you haven't done that already. All right.

Starting point is 07:59:30 PLD. Get in here, you son of a bitch. I'm there. If he, remember, tell Josh if he ever gets Ed Harris, he knows, has to call them. Oh, yeah, I forgot. Josh is still down there if you're listening, Josh. Yeah, I think you shut us both out at this point. So we, we're waiting at Ellis, just texted me.

Starting point is 07:59:50 He's running a little late, so he's going to be here like 15, 20 minutes. And then, let's see. Four hang on. Okay. We got some questions we got to do because a lot of questions. we got to do because a lot of questions that were kind of backed up because we i mean what a what a way what a way to continue doing this stream absolutely man we had like we had we went from uh we did a whole bunch of questions went to sam and and and ming which is a lot of fun and then jumping into um uh we had uh

Starting point is 08:00:25 i think what we're sam so they were they were first and then and then went um sarah yes then and then to Josh. So it's like, we've had a real good crew here. Yeah, it has been going. Yeah, nonstop. Good for everybody. Chaotic in the best way possible. So let's say, let's do some, let's do some, um, question. I'm trying to find some question. I could have been jumping up and down here. Yeah. So let's do you and, and, and you can do some of the, the super chats and stuff too, if we miss them because that, that we should do that because I want to make sure we get,

Starting point is 08:00:58 if anybody threw in super chest, want to make sure that we get to those. Absolutely. Mish King. You know, my question. I'm so happy for right now. I just want to say congrats. I'd love to hear from Brett right about now. You know, where are we at right now? We can do a Brett call. 281, 21, 21. 281.

Starting point is 08:01:11 So why don't we say at 281,500, we'll call Brett? 281,500, we'll call Brett. All right. What's the next time? Wiley. PLD, Shrek, paid off. That's right. I'm so excited for that one.

Starting point is 08:01:26 It did. Son of a bitch. All right. Freaking Matt Sarah is the best. He just said he just got me a pie. Oh, that's so good. He's on the line. I'm just letting everybody know I will be eating on air. So be, you know, get ready.

Starting point is 08:01:40 I think it's forgivable. I just want to shout, Rachel was in the chat during Sam. Oh, nice. But it was good to. Okay. Let's say. Oh.

Starting point is 08:01:48 Her response to you. She's talking to Sam. Yes, exactly. Not you. Not me. Okay. What's next? Rain guitar.

Starting point is 08:01:58 I was nervous for you when we hovered at 200K for so long. Checked on it all the time. I'm really happy that's taking out. I know you best we have. Look, Craig also said this, too. He said that it goes dead for a little bit, and then it picks up at the end. And people are like, if they want to get involved and they're getting involved. And you guys have showed today, you want to get involved.

Starting point is 08:02:15 And the fact that we can get that live, if we can get that live event, to me, that's everything that we wanted to get in the pieces. We don't hit the 340. We don't hit the 340. But if we get to the 300 and we're able to hit that 300 and we're able to get the actual live event done and then have Sam and then, guarantee that Mike and Kalanowski can play again. I think that's going to excite a lot of people. Absolutely. I know what we've been talking about.

Starting point is 08:02:41 So there you go. Smets. He's a one-on-one Christian about his career because he's worked with a lot of legends. That's true. Smets needs a whole one. He wants you to interview Smets because of all the like one-shot legends he's worked with like when you talk about with Tom Scarity working with. Oh, right, right, right, right.

Starting point is 08:02:56 Yeah, yeah. 100%. Yeah. I'll pass them off to Horowitz. There you go. Yeah. You know, and I can do, actually, I got a, I got a good thing there too. So we said 281.

Starting point is 08:03:06 281.500 for Brett. I'll do 281,700. And I'll call Kalanowski and tell them about the AVA Awards. Nice. What's next? Let's see. Throwing down. For Sarah, we missed it, unfortunately.

Starting point is 08:03:21 Oh. Yeah, we're going to, sorry, guys. Yeah, it's been kind of weird, trying to, been a little bit chaotic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Page, way to go, trending. Yeah, we're getting there, guys. really doing good. I think that, and the other thing is, Freed's going to be pretty happy when he's in here to close out today, too. So it'll be really good. Yeah.

Starting point is 08:03:37 100%. Um, yeah, I would. I'm curious, did you or you sent sent a script to multiple actors I have to see you'd be interested or do you have, well, we haven't sent a script that really to any actors. Well, maybe, maybe, well, not, not, unless there was someone to specifically that we're, we're waiting, because Wendy's involved for a reason, right? So, that's going to start going out later on. But there's ideas for one particular role and one person that I really would love to play a particular part that I'm hoping that that goes through. But that'll be something. And that's another reason why I hope people would want to be involved because you get to now get those updates.

Starting point is 08:04:18 As we're talking about it, you guys will be the first to know of so-and-so who was cast as this role, who was cast as that role. So, all right, what's next? Mark Jason, Ellie, question. are you doing fallout reactions and everybody wants this everybody everybody wants this is um is that that's the one we just talking about that's yeah that's documentary it depends on when that comes out um it's a three hour documentary um it depends on when it comes out because i really want to see it i might do an out of the theater reaction for it i don't know i'm assuming that's what you're talking about it's like you can see everything is like the way it is

Starting point is 08:04:51 but i don't you know what's nuts is that up until this year i think i hadn't had a out of the theater that had ever passed one 85 okay right then disclosure today got to 195 or 196 or something that's that's pretty big and then freaking Godzilla's at like 320 but then Clayface is over

Starting point is 08:05:10 like 215 or something now which is nuts so people the other theaters are starting to push a little bit more in the algorithm so all right what's next times have been tough lately thank core man but I really want to contribute it not through Kickstarter and through as much positive vibes I can sell from

Starting point is 08:05:26 it's all fear my man it's all fear and that that goes a long way the the people embracing this embracing what we're doing it all goes a long way so thank you uh okay amen mash new i play rocky trailer drop earlier can we get a live reaction no because i'm going to see it i'm going to see it next week i think and i don't want to see anymore i've seen enough uh i'm going to see the movie i was supposed to see the movie on tuesday but i decided not to go because i wanted to see clay face instead well not that i want to see there were no there were more options for there was only one option for clay face there was like three other options for i play rocky so i i decided and it was the right call because i mean it did

Starting point is 08:06:07 pretty well that out of the theater and i enjoyed watching clayface so there you go um i can't wait for myself yeah all right what's next paup patrol fan what's up an question are you going to do an out of the theater race for a while but i just saw it's very good i hear it's great i haven't heard a single person saying anything except that movie so wonderful um out of the theater i don't know but i might do a reaction to it for sure kind of good yeah Josh, unfortunately, I missed it. Oh, I'm sorry, Sean. Great interviews. They always come across Seameless and Afterlist, don't they, though?

Starting point is 08:06:34 Are there any actors that have been difficult, any challenges? He probably wouldn't answer that anyways, Sean. He said no names. He just wanted to know if there's anybody you had in general. Oh, okay. Any challenges you face that we don't see on the side of the screen? That's a good question. I'm sorry, yeah, there's so much, there were so many things coming in for him.

Starting point is 08:06:50 I'm sorry that we didn't get to that, Sean. Yeah. All right. All right. What's next? Land, you know, 10 jewels, gold coin. Thank you so much. Crystal, I'm excited for the Smodown fans, and I wish you the best of the pilot.

Starting point is 08:07:01 I'm excited for the 40-day challenge, happy to support. I'm excited that you're excited for that. We're going to have some fun, Crystal. It's going to be good. And then we have, still, for people who don't know, we still have those available. Those are available. We're at 281-221. What do we say for, Brett?

Starting point is 08:07:15 281-250. That's what we said for Brett? Yes. 281-250? Correct. All right. And then we said, Mike was 281-500? Correct.

Starting point is 08:07:23 No, no. We said, I don't remember. But well, that's what we'll set it at regardless. We'll say 281, 250. $2.81,500. Those will be the two if not. Okay. All right. Hold on a second. All right. Okay. Okay. Bring it up. So yeah, based on the Lisa Dillroy's suggestion earlier for Zara,

Starting point is 08:07:45 are we looking for someone in their 30s rather than the late 20s? No, look, I think we were finding, we're looking for the person that's right for the role. And that's going to set. To me, Martine and I've always talked about it being, it's got a rep. to me, we always thought. And this is the same thing I said to Wendy, that that could change depending on how we look at it. But we've always thought in our minds it was a Gen Z type person. Yes.

Starting point is 08:08:10 What's next? Let's see. Question. Question. Question. Question. Who is your favorite wrestler of all time? Because my top three are Machrim.

Starting point is 08:08:20 Mottram is my favorite. The Rock and then Roman Reins. I mean, I liked it. Love the Warrior. when I was a kid um warrior was always cool red heart was up there for me too in the old school ones i like the rock a lot for sure um those are the ones that i would that i would say are up there for me and then ricky steamboat i was a big rickie steembowlure too i'm rick macho rickrackie rickriff flare those those are the types i like i was like the technical

Starting point is 08:08:47 kind of wrestler and those things too yeah just for pure comedy i got to throw santina morel out there because i love yeah i get to you like he's hilarious he was funny oh joshina Tentana. All right, what's next? Let's see. I'd have to go back. I think we did that one, right? Yeah, we did.

Starting point is 08:09:06 Trying to go back to the ones we went to miss before. All right. Looks like. Thank you, Matt Sunnis. I'm trying to appreciate that. Okay. So we're lighting up some other questions and everything and everything, too, as we wait for Ellis.

Starting point is 08:09:22 And then P.L. they might have, like, when Matt's going to be here in a second, when he is, I'm just going to have. I'm just going to have, I'm just going to have you take over for a second. I haven't take a pee break along. Tells we do. Bang.

Starting point is 08:09:34 That's hilarious. I guess you heard the call. I was so sorry. How do you not? You know, and that's, and how many more of those Schmode-on, again,

Starting point is 08:09:43 the live tickets do we have left? Let's find out. I can refresh. I had at least one more when I checked last. So I'm going to say seven. I'm going to say seven or left if I was going to get. So for people who don't know, and I hope that Ed posted this and I'm sure.

Starting point is 08:09:56 that he did. We are we have two amazing executive producers in, well, we have three. We have, we have the great Ryan S who helped out dramatically the other day in order for us to do this, but we have two amazing producers that are involved in the rendezvous thing. And first of all, big shout out to Ryan S. Derek and now J.C., all three of them helping the kind of dream come true here. But those two particular guys with the rendezvous restaurant, we're going now, of what J.C. did today, we are going to be running the Schmowdown for two days, or maybe three, depends on the production side of it, at this place. Ellis is coming in in five minutes.

Starting point is 08:10:42 So we're going to be there, and we're going to be recording this for the tournament for the course of however long it takes, 16-person tournament, and we have 10x, well, how many do we have left, Pelleele? We have seven out of ten are available still. All right, so seven out of ten tickets are going to be available for the experience. And inside of that, not only you get in, I think the restaurant is being very kind and one of their awesome appetizers is going to be involved in it, but you get behind the scenes, you got a meet and greet, get pictures of the competitors. You get a little interview with Jen Surgical interview on camera. and we are and there's no guarantee yet that we're going to be opening this to a lot of different

Starting point is 08:11:30 outside fans yet because we have to see how many schmodeown people we have too because schmodeown people are going to get tables and because the restaurant's going to be open for us for food and drink and all that stuff too and we have to do that and we're going to make sure for the crew and all that we're going to make sure that we have everything and you know we're going to make sure that the the restaurant is able to function in the fact that they're basically going to be given up their two days of business for for us so they're going to pack restaurant two days in a row so if you can get those tickets and you want on your shmode-in person you want to see the whole you'll you'll have the results of the

Starting point is 08:12:03 tournament before anybody else i want to sit right in roka's eyesight so yeah he's going to ask you from the from the arena you can try you know he's going to cut a promo against you oh but no see but that's the difference that's the difference and that's what you you have to understand in wrestling side of things. This is this is where you, you would be wrong. Do you, I would, I don't ever lose.

Starting point is 08:12:27 Have I ever in our history? Have I ever lost it on you? No. Never. Never. If you did that on a Rocco promo, I would lose it on you. Oh,

Starting point is 08:12:39 if I did, if I did, if he was, if he was cutting a promo, why he was on stage, going after you, and you started heckling him going after him as the writer on the show.

Starting point is 08:12:50 Oh, no, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I know you wouldn't. But I would imagine, imagine Stone Cold Steve Austin going off on, on one of the crew members and the crew members given it back to him. No, no, I would never do that. What do you think would happen? They'd be fired in two seconds. The only reason that you could play into it a little more is because you're a personality on this show now is you're not just some random person.

Starting point is 08:13:09 So if, but we would have to like, okay that first and make sure that it worked that way, you know? But like right. It would be hilarious. All right. All right. What's, uh, what's next? My next trip to New York will do. definitely include a trip to talios. What slice should I go for the first time, Rob McDonnell? Well, here's the question, right? If you're looking for just a regular, you know,

Starting point is 08:13:28 I would always go go for the cheese slice, right? For the topic, if you're looking for a specialty sliced, I'm the one I always recommend all the time. I recommend it to Ed and Sean when they went there to PLD and Ellis, the barata slice with the, with the drizzle on the balsamic. That's your, that's your go to. Now, the other stuff, they have a ton of other specialty these slices. I always did it first. She's sliced there, but get both. Because she's sliced to try that out.

Starting point is 08:13:52 Yeah. And then you try this. Get both. Get both. All right. What's next? Did you know you ate even one slice? Sean,

Starting point is 08:14:00 did Steph come by at all on the stream yet? No, she texted me. You know what? Let me, thank you for reminding me. Let me see. No problem at all. I'm still on right now. But I can give you

Starting point is 08:14:13 a shout if you're going to be available at all today. Let me know. because Ellis is coming on in a little bit and then we're going to close out with Andrew the director, but let me know if you are available at all. We'll see if she can. She's, you know, she's mama. Yeah, she's busy.

Starting point is 08:14:33 All right. This is the funniest thing. Okay. Have you checked out screen exterior? I love the first Spider-Man. There's one in New York. No, I, no, I did. I did.

Starting point is 08:14:42 I think I saw that in, um, it was amazing. I went and when I saw Wicked in, in one, for like, some stupid influencer screening that I I went to it and it was really it was good. But Peel de, speaking of your Talios, buddy. Oh, yeah? Where is he, ladies and gentlemen? That's not you.

Starting point is 08:14:58 There he is. There he is. It's me. Can I ask you the stupidest thing in the world? Are you able to? I know you're driving, but can you turn your phone? You're able to do that or no?

Starting point is 08:15:07 What do you want me to do? Turn it? Yep. My trash. Yeah, it'll, it'll, it'll, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be doing that. It shouldn't be doing that. It should be, it should be turning to where it's, it's horizontal, but no?

Starting point is 08:15:19 get your minion PLD on it we work on that from here look at that look at that no that's fine let's let's let's try that way no that's not working that's all right

Starting point is 08:15:34 perfect I like to stand out you know Matt Sarah is on his way he was on the show Matt Mark for like an hour and he just went to tally he's bringing me a pie is it okay so I have a question

Starting point is 08:15:48 though about what we ate because we had we had a normal cheese pie which was delicious but we kicked off with we each had a had a fat slice of a barata now yeah i still it's a two-part thing i don't know that i'm anything better in my mouth but i also don't know the extent of what i put in my mouth all i know is a bunch of fresh mozzarella and balsamic and that's it what else is i think there is a tomato involved yeah there's tomato sauce in there too Yeah, it was tomato and barata and balsama. Yeah. Oh, man, it's so good. Yeah.

Starting point is 08:16:26 So, you know, what we have, Mark, you know, currently, I don't know if you know, but we are at 281, 246 is where we are right now on the campaign. And so where we have now where we are is that, so you remember, obviously, you remember when J.C. Reifenberg from Scummanville, was so kind in letting him. Oh, see you later, Mark. It's good seeing. Mark.

Starting point is 08:16:55 Are there, Mark? I hear you. I think he's, that's the problem. He's driving. Probably lost it and where he is. I mean, I know exactly if he's driving through the valley, he's going to go in and out of reception. So we'll get him.

Starting point is 08:17:07 We'll get, he'll come back in. And then you'll probably have to, I mean, I'm starting to get a delirious, can I haven't, I haven't eaten or peed in quite a bit. So I'm getting into that kind of, fog brain um so hopefully some some food some food all you know what i still have some leftover yogurt we'll do that okay you got four dollars before we call uh before we call brett yeah okay oh it marks back all right he's back for how long i don't know that wasn't my fault because i got a

Starting point is 08:17:37 phone call and i didn't realize that like a phone call even if you just x out of it it just completely that was matt sarah calling me asking if i wanted anything from it's it's gonna it's gonna Fed Exit. You were asking me, do I remember, so you were doing one of the classic Harlov buildups. Yeah, so J.C. Rifenberg, who was the owner of human villainy, and so he was so kind to lend us, or have us be part of,

Starting point is 08:18:07 have us do the Shmowdowns there. And when we're coming out of the pandemic, and we're able to do those big events, and they were the first kind of live events we had had in, in quite a while. now j c ripenberg is an executive producer on trending as is his um financier in his other restaurant rondevo yeah so rendezvous Derek McMahon is his um co-financer and a producer on this show they run rendezvous right next to um it's in burbank near the amc and so we will be shooting the

Starting point is 08:18:39 tournament there it's built out they've actually turned this restaurant just had a great galvan and he was talking about they made this restaurant because it was difficult it's coming villainy where it wasn't necessarily built for events, right? This is more built for events. So we're going to have, we're going to have the, they're going to have the kitchen. They're going to have, they're going to have the bar, right? We're essentially going to have this place for two days with the full staff and everything. And we've opened up. There are seven tickets left, exclusive tickets for fans, if they want to get it in the campaign to be there, because there's going to be so many competitors and crew and everything, too,

Starting point is 08:19:18 that we're probably going to pack the place out all in itself. Yeah, that play, I've been by the space. And, like, you know, we would look at that space from time to time and be like, what is this going to be? What is that going to become? Is it going to become high rise? Is it going to be urgent care? What is this going to turn into?

Starting point is 08:19:42 And that was a hot topic of betting for a long time. To know that it's scum and villainy, and to know that we get to like, you know, hang out with them for a Shmowdown. It's, it's like, it's, I just told you,

Starting point is 08:19:56 it's going to be tough when he's, he'll, he'll be, he'll be in and out three, because he's probably on the 405. You're on the 405? So here's what we'll do. I'm like,

Starting point is 08:20:08 I'm like five minutes from my house. So let me get there. And then I'll, and then I'll, I'll, uh, I'll join you guys for the last half hour. That's, yeah,

Starting point is 08:20:16 do that. Do that. And then you can stay on for a second or two when Fried, oh, Popston. you say hi to Freight. I'll give him two seconds of my time. No more.

Starting point is 08:20:24 Perfect. We can stand. Let's do some more questions all the way from Mark. Okay, let me jump back to it. Let's see. Barb wants to know what we said. Street Fighter. I didn't see it.

Starting point is 08:20:34 Me? I have my review and stuff up there, or my out of the theater. I thought it, I wanted it to be great. I don't think it was, I think it was a bad movie, but it wasn't the worst movie ever, so. I don't know way for streaming on it, probably.

Starting point is 08:20:48 The producer's, her name, How do you spell her name for her ad? Shulie, Shul-I-H-A-R-E-L. It's S-H-U-L-I-H-R-E-L. You should know that. What? I should know that. Yeah.

Starting point is 08:21:06 Okay. So let's see. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, well, you know what? I don't know if Smith's can hear me. Don't worry about it because it because his reception is bad, and we're only going to have them for a little bit. So, yeah, at the end, that would be. great. And now we take a little bit of time. Smets, he's been great today. Yeah,

Starting point is 08:21:24 he's always good. I got to give, I got to get a lot of props to him because like he, so one of the thing with Smets is what he's done is he just brings such an air of positivity to anything that he does. And like everyone gets, he's not how excited Sam got when he showed up, you know? Right. And, um, and he just, he just does, he just does that. And that's another reason why he wants to play Mike so badly. He does. He wants to play him so badly. So we're like, we're only again, I mean, it seems like a lot, but 19,000 to get us there, almost there to get there to have those two play again. And then we're, we hit a major goal here with, with 300. I think everybody to land where we landed already right now would be,

Starting point is 08:22:08 would be pretty great. Um, we are at 281, 271. So we did hit the, uh, Brett, all right. All right. So let me, now I don't know if he's going to be around, but I'm going to try him. call Brett Sheridan and you guys will see how I call him normally because I asked them to be on the live stream I think he was doing something that's why I might not be able to get him right now

Starting point is 08:22:32 let's see telephone number yeah oh I don't do that I'll do that text Brett Sheridan hey I tried to give you a shout for the live stream the audience wanted to hear from you so give me a call if you can send thanks um all right so and then so i tried him try it we called riley oh yeah and the next what was it two it was so 281 500 we will tell mike we'll call mike and tell him that we're

Starting point is 08:23:03 he's going to the avian awards it'll be like tell him somebody that's going to disneyland that's some kind of playland okay um yeah right b gill studios question about how about mckenna grace for z well i mean that's but that that's i think that's i think You got to, there's a chance to where you can go after people. And if you get lucky, you can get them. But there's also, I think that it just depends on, with the budget that we have right now. Right. You know, I don't know how big are, what we'll be able to do.

Starting point is 08:23:34 She'd be, she'd be great. She'd great and everything she's been on. She'd be great. But, but yeah, I don't know, I don't know, look, we might, we might have the, I don't know what we're going to. We're, we have a lot to do in the next couple of weeks. and the conversations we're about to have. So it's going to be pretty exciting.

Starting point is 08:23:53 It's going to be just as busy as been his last month. It's in a different way. Nuts. Yeah. What's next? Northwood Pro. Is that actually, let's see.

Starting point is 08:24:03 I mean, it is. Oh, wait, who, that looks like Kaiser in the freaking. That's the picture of Kaiser for sure. I don't know if that's. Is that Kaiser?

Starting point is 08:24:11 Is that Kaiser? I think that's kind of got to be Kaiser. Harle, please have two tickets under the name's Dale the dude and Tom. No last name. I got debts to pay off. It's got to be Kaiser, right? Holy Kaiser. I do that.

Starting point is 08:24:20 That's such a Kaiser-type comment. Absolutely. Yeah. All right. What's next? That's the greatest picture of our scene. Five Jules Go team, thank you. Lucas Bell's new Doomstay trailer coming tomorrow during World Series.

Starting point is 08:24:33 Now, that one I might still do a reaction to. And I know Sam is going to be wanting to do that, too, so maybe. Okay. What's your least favorite Arnold movie, K. It says Wade Watts. Least favorite? Well, I haven't seen. like all of like the newer stuff that he's done so I don't know but what what I would probably say is

Starting point is 08:24:55 red heat I remember there's one of the first movies I have to go back and say I probably haven't seen it since I saw it when I was a kid but I remember being such an Arnold person and seeing that movie when I was a kid and being I don't like the one of the first movies I remember not like Hercules in New York. Different vibe different vibe he wasn't trying to be it wasn't like he was he was just he was just trying to be a working actor that wasn't even like an arreculi's Arnold movie, you know? Right, absolutely. Yeah. Let's see. Pandoz. Spatz has been the best

Starting point is 08:25:27 Dishinger crew. I mean, I don't think he realizes sometimes how loved he is. I really don't. He's very self-deprecating. Yeah. I really don't. I don't think he realizes how like people love. People love him and like his games are so really brought such a new flavor to it. And he's just such a hard worker and he did so much. And I hope he does, he knows it doesn't go on notice with the stuff that he did with

Starting point is 08:25:53 the 40-day challenge short all the shorts that are on the damn channel with the freaking damn promo that he helped with you know up top the the one that we showed to start this show so he knows

Starting point is 08:26:11 I hope he knows how much he's loved I think he does I hope so what's next if not fuck him I'm just good Rodney Laborde. Maybe Julia Butters for it. Julia Butter is actually, and it's funny as to, I think she, I like to have her on the list for, for the daughter. That's fine. Yeah. I know she did. I've definitely thought, I thought, I thought she'd because she's only, I think she's only like 17, 18 years old.

Starting point is 08:26:41 So she can definitely play 15. 100%. Yeah. Let's take it next. Oh, Christian. What's Danny Lyon's favorite movie? Favorite Star Wars favorite MCU? He's definitely not a Star Wars or MCU guy.

Starting point is 08:26:58 It's not what he's watching. He probably could quote, you know, casino, Goodfellas, all these other things. But he's not like, but he's,

Starting point is 08:27:07 see, he's probably seen Citizen Kane a bunch of different times. I've never seen it. So there you go. Christian, time for your favorite game. Guess what I'm eating? I can't cheat right now by this, so I don't know.

Starting point is 08:27:22 Yeah, we don't know. You have to guess. Eggs and cheese. There you go. We'll find out, I guess. Yeah. You go gaming more into your show someday, like gaming news, stuff like that. Christopher, ah, you know, I don't know, man.

Starting point is 08:27:35 It's like, we're already covering so many things right now. It's like, I would, I'd have to essentially do what Greg Alba is doing and start to, like, hire more people and do crew stuff. And then it's, it's tough, though, too. because I made the decision consciously to name the channel of Chris Carleff channel, right? Greg smartly and called it the real rejects where he doesn't, it doesn't, like a lot of the stuff that I do,

Starting point is 08:28:00 it has me on it, right? My channel. So like it's harder to do stuff outside of when I'm doing stuff. And gaming, I just don't know if I had the bandwidth for it. Yeah. What's next? There you go. If you guess pepperoni pizza.

Starting point is 08:28:17 Oh, close. Sorry, buddy. Oh, he's back, ladies and gentlemen. All right. There's my God. There it is. There you go. You almost got you.

Starting point is 08:28:28 Let's say. How about, let's see. We'll get you. You know, can we, Peelty, we'll put you in the bubble. Let's put PILD in the bubble in case. There you go. Just in case we need you.

Starting point is 08:28:39 Oh, yeah, they were asking. Can you bring that down, Pieldy, the question? Yep, yep, yep. Sorry. Thank you very little. So, yes. So anyway, Mark, what we're talking about. We're back.

Starting point is 08:28:50 We'll call you back building. So what we're talking about with the... If only everybody in your life was so conveniently just removed by the click of a... Like, hey, I'm done with this conversation, so I'm going to shrink you into a bubble, and then I'm just going to get rid of the bubble. And then I'm just going to pop the bubble. Are you kidding me? I mean, that would be...

Starting point is 08:29:11 You're right, but he just pops up. But see, even when he pops, like, I can just keep bringing them back. But yeah. You basically turn PLD. into the little paper clip for Microsoft Word where it's possible. Yeah. Yeah, 100%.

Starting point is 08:29:27 Go get it, but. Nice shot. Okay. So, yeah, as I was saying, we're going to be able to do this live event or live tournament now, which is going to be fun. And then if we hit the 300,

Starting point is 08:29:40 which we still have until tomorrow night, if we hit that 300, and we're not too far, and the other one was, do you know how, I don't know if you, I know we're telling you about it aware, Mike Kalinowski, we interviewed the adult dome star, Penny Barber.

Starting point is 08:29:55 I think I told you about this, right? So then one of the things today was at one time, I think we were like 250 or something when we set this. So if we hit 270, that I will, I'll pay for and send Mike Kalanowski to the Avian Awards January. In Vegas. And so we hit it. And so I said that at 2 now, where we at 281, when we get to 281,

Starting point is 08:30:19 500, I'm going to, I'm going to call my Kalinowski and make him aware that he's going to the Avian Awards. I told, I sent the DM to Penny Barber and told her that we were doing that too, which is hilarious. And so now I've got to find the, now I've got to find a cameraman, and I probably get 20 of them that are going to work for free. Dude, you know what, you know what's so funny

Starting point is 08:30:39 about that? I don't know if I told you, a couple of years ago, they hit me up about doing something there. Oh, really? And I did, I, I wrote that back. I was congenial and I was like, look, I'm not sure what this thing pays, but I'm the last guy that should be at, because I know nothing about it. And that's not me being like a holier than now, because trust me, I'm just as naughty as anybody else.

Starting point is 08:31:03 I'm just not even know any of these people. So like, but I set them a list of like 10 comics. I'm like, these, you want some porn watchers. Check out these folks right here. Right. And all 10 people were Sam Tripoli. I didn't even have to recommend Tripoli because he's already, he's like, he's done stuff with them already. He's camped out.

Starting point is 08:31:25 He's camped out there in June. Yeah. Yeah. He's, he's like Phantom Menace tickets, you know. 100%. 100%. So, yeah. So anyway, so he's going to be going there.

Starting point is 08:31:36 We have a really cool thing that we hit was that we're going to do an all lady show with Sam, um, Roxy and Chris Carr. to organize that. That'll be a fun one to do. And, and yeah, so we, and we, PLD's got to dress up in cosplay as Shrek now. That's going to be a good one. Did he have an option? Did he give you like, here's four costumes I can pull up and you pick Shrek?

Starting point is 08:32:04 I don't know, Peelty, how did that happen where someone just randomly picked Shrek one day? I don't actually remember how it was either. It just came up one day and they wanted to make me, dressed in something weird and outlandish and paint myself green. And that's what happened. And it was, and it looked like it was never going to happen. But today, today was not the day to throw that on the table. They jumped in. Yeah. And we did. So we jumped in on that. And so, so now really the only stretch goal,

Starting point is 08:32:27 minus letting Mike know at 281,500, is that we, is that big live event with Sam Levine playing the winner of the tournament. And Smet's first Kalinowski for the IG title. So we're going to do a live event that, you know, we're going to do a live event that, you know, We don't know where that's going to be yet, but it'll be. That'll be fun. I thought we knew where it's going to be. The tournament, we know what's going to be. The tournament, the tournament itself is going to be at Ronderville.

Starting point is 08:32:57 Oh, okay. And then, and then not right afterwards, but whether it's a month, two months later, whether it's the L. Portal or wherever, we'll do another way. This thing just keeps growing tentacles, doesn't it? This is a little tadpole, just swimming around like this. It's all I got. All of a sudden, it's got eight. That's all I got on me.

Starting point is 08:33:17 It's all I got on me. That's all I got. If it helps make your little show, honey, you know Uncle Michael's show. I know. I know. But it'll be fun to do a live event. People like the live event. You and I had a fun conversation over the phone late last week because you called me and you're pretty excited.

Starting point is 08:33:36 I assume this has been announced yet. It is. It is. It was fun. It brought me so, and not even anything about the announcement itself, but just you and I talking like that where you and I were always really good at figuring out. I say times of crisis, but it's not necessarily like crisis like, oh, oh, oh, crap. I haven't talked. I haven't talked about figured out, you know. Yeah, yeah, but don't go too in detail. I'm not, but we're just very good

Starting point is 08:34:01 at strategizing when we have to together. And, oh, wait, we got a, we got a special call here real quick. Oh, right. I'll, I'll start, because we're on the air right now. And I'll, I'm going to show you guys when I actually call this person, how I actually greet them when I call them. What's up, you fucking Dach? Brett Sheridan is here, ladies. Wow. Hey, Brett.

Starting point is 08:36:15 with internet issues, he would just be like, you know what? I'm getting pizza, fuck. I want to talk with Brett real quick, and then I'm want to open up the pizza on the air because it's like, because everybody's going to be jealous. Oh, no, did he bring you the Sarah or the brother? No, I brought me the regular cheese, but he brought me, see, Brett's another.

So, Brett, you remember like we couldn't, we didn't even know like, because we were working and we were working on the office and we just like stumbled into it. But I think I had to drop you off at the train station.

He was here, and then he, and then he ran into, I'm going to Talios right now. Did he want anything? I told him to give me a couple slices. You got me all play.

Starting point is 08:39:20 Maybe it's just, maybe I'm just reading too much into it. I know I had a doctor's appointment that stuck up on me, but it feels like, you know, I get on the show late. It's like, Bob picked me up late from school, and then now I'm hanging out with dad, and dad's too busy. He's got to take a call from one of his golfing, he's got to eat and he just like he doesn't really have time for me it's like courts have time

Starting point is 08:39:38 people I was saying something really nice not getting into too many details but yeah yeah yeah enjoyed our phone call where you and I get to iron stuff out and it's I gave you a lot of credit I gave you a lot of credit and I said there's very very few people I get a martini the same thing I said there's really only outside of my wife two people that I call and say like you know if I need to be whether it's talked off a ledge or talked to about certain things and you're usually my first call. So, you know, don't, uh, don't give me the sad story. And, and it should be noted, I usually don't pick up.

Starting point is 08:40:14 I am Christian's first call. I usually don't answer. Right. Because I know what's going. And I'm like, I, I don't have time for this right now. Yeah, I'll, you call me back. You never on the first, never on the first rig. Yeah.

Starting point is 08:40:27 Yeah. Anyway, so let's take some questions for, for Mark Pildee, because I know that the audience has been asked. Simon. If you didn't light any up, it's just because you're a shit producer. While he's throwing one out, and I will answer that, I just saw a movie that you saw the morning I left New York. Godzilla? Yeah.

Starting point is 08:40:47 It's awesome, isn't it? I don't know what I'm allowed to say, but this says it all. You can say, you can, you can, it's under, it's, it's not embargoing anymore. Holy crap, it's so good. These, they're just insane. I never want them to stop making these moves. It's so, so good. And it looks like classic Godzilla, but the effects are amazing.

Starting point is 08:41:07 And it's everything else in the movie. It's just so emotional and it's awesome. And I just sat front row for this. I did something you. Oh, wow. I hate, no, I hate front row. I showed up to one of our old school theaters in Beverly Hills on Crescent. And I'm sitting in the back, like just doing the normal Ellison Harloff thing.

Starting point is 08:41:26 And then I look in the front and there's a nice woman sitting next to me. And she's like, you're thinking about going up front, aren't you? I'm like, how do you know that? She's like, I can tell the look in your eye. I was like, I think I'm going up front. That's not, for people who don't understand that, going up front to Crescent is not the end of the world. It actually, because it's a screen.

Starting point is 08:41:46 I actually don't know why. It's not I don't know why they would screen it there. Like, you need like that. It would have been nice to see it in, you know, like in IMAX, but the sound I will say was great. And it was loud. Like it was blowing, it was blowing my earps out. the best way possible.

Starting point is 08:42:05 It's great. All right, let's get some more questions here. Okay, hard target is the answer to anything. Anything Van Dam, the answer is going to be a hard target. I think his actual best movie might be time cop over that, but sudden impact is, sudden, yeah, sudden impact is great. Not a blood support guy, right?

Starting point is 08:42:25 It's, I like it. It's probably number five of my favorite Van Dam movies, but I just think it's been done better since then. and I think Hard Target is peak what I'm looking for in a Van Dam. I'd go Bloodsport. You know what's an underrated Van Dam movie? Not enough people talk about is Lionheart.

Starting point is 08:42:44 Lionheart's good. Also, double impact is so much fun, but the action sequences are great. And Kickboxer, I think. I might like Kickboxing rather than Bloodsport. That's a hot pick. You like Kickboxers are a good one too, though. Yeah.

Starting point is 08:42:58 I know. I did Steve M. Jason hosts, he's the ESPN host out here, and I did, we were doing the top five action movies of all time. So like, and you know, this always changes. My top five action movies, according to that day, number five was the raid redemption. Okay. Number four was Predator. Number three was Casino Royale.

Starting point is 08:43:22 Number two was the rock and number one was diehard. Okay. So. Okay. Give me that list one more time. Number five was the raid redemption. number four was Predator

Starting point is 08:43:34 Number three was Casino Royale Number two was the rock And number one was Diehardt Solid list I don't if I agree with the top five But it's a solid list Yeah and I wanted something on there

Starting point is 08:43:48 that represented like the born identity To like those kind of movies I was like oh casino royale That's the answer So kind of two onesone You can't have a top five Or top ten action movie list without getting Arnold Some sort of representation on there

Starting point is 08:44:00 And I don't think Die Hard is ever going to be unseated for me, but the Rock is just such a fun of its time, but also all time just enjoyable to watch start to finish. Yeah. Josh Horace was just on, and he was talking about Jenna Ortega, and he said that she was talking about how she was catching up with old Arnold action movies.

Starting point is 08:44:22 And he's like, oh, what's the first one you watched? Junior. And he goes, Jr.? It's the first one you watched? he could make junior you know why he could make junior because he knew the next year he had a comeback pitch with true lies coming up 100% um he was like i'm playing with house money let's go ahead and it fine make me pregnant i don't care i got another jim cameron joint coming out i'm gonna i'm gonna give tom arnold's career new legs watch what happens i think i mean my god that that that was really a great great um movie the the true lies wasn't

Starting point is 08:44:58 it's fantastic and i hadn't seen it in probably 10 years and i was working in in Vegas and i really party in Vegas and what by party i mean i do the show i take some pictures and i walk right back to my room and i'm in my room and i'm basically watching because vegas is smart because they're Vegas they don't do what a lot of hotels do now where they have like you can watch netflix from your room you can watch amazon they don't let you they have basic cable and that's it because they don't want you in the room they want you in the casino so i'm basically watching whatever amc is on that night and then They had true lies coming on at 10 p.m.

Starting point is 08:45:30 It's the news. I got back to my room, and I was like, we are done for the night. Yep, that's all you need to do. It's really solid. Pilled you eat anymore? All right. What are some of your favorite underrated crime movies? Mine are Way of the Gun.

Starting point is 08:45:47 Oh, okay. That was one of the first movies I saw in L.A. I remember that when I came out. That is an underrated movie. Underrated crime movies? It's tough because the crime movies that you know and love are, like, very appropriately rated. Like one of my most rewatchable movies of all time is American Gangster. I could watch that movie on a loop all day.

Starting point is 08:46:07 But it's like it's properly rated. You know, like what's a crime movie that kind of slipped under the cracks? State of grace. I was coming on to say that. Yeah, it's not your time to say. Damn it.

Starting point is 08:46:19 Put that Harris. The paper clip is back. Yeah, but it's faulty AI because it, I said it first. anyway so what's what's next does ellis know the comedian chad daniels i don't know i ever actually met chad i know of him we've probably been on the same lineups but i don't think we've actually met might have had a might have had a handshake in passing but i hear good things so

Starting point is 08:46:50 so speaking of comedy we what a what a fun show that was that night and when you were here on the Wow. Governor's just a place I always wanted to do. The fact that Dorista, John Duresta was on the other show that night was hilarious. And it was a great, it was just a great night. Like it was, you know, anytime you're part of the mechanism that's putting the show on, there's a little bit of stress involved, not even with the performance of it, just making sure everybody gets in and has a good time and all that kind of stuff.

Starting point is 08:47:19 Then once that wears off, you get to kind of take stock of, oh, I really like that room and I like that. But I really like that room and I really like that vibe. And I love that, you know, we've always said we have some of the best fans in the business. And the fact that they keep showing up and supporting like they do. On a Thursday. On a Thursday on Long Island, that wasn't easy to do. I mean, it was good 60, 70 people, whatever.

Starting point is 08:47:38 Maybe more. And I think that if we did a Friday, Saturday in that main room, we could probably pack that thing out because there are a lot of people who said they couldn't make it because it was on a Thursday, which would be great. It was a lot of fun. And I particularly enjoyed our handoff because you were talking about. you know being married and having kids and and and but how normal that is in Long Island and then I got up there like feel like the fish out of water like being a mid 40s single guy in Long Island like it's a little bit of a different vibe oh it is just living my life out here in the valley it's like a different planet yeah it's a different

Starting point is 08:48:11 planet all all together from every everything that everyone was talking about like I might you saw I mean shit you saw my approach and what I was I was talking about people at bus stops like kids bus stops it was fun it was a fun said because you you kind of felt like you got to know the community of Long Island right was of watching your little song and dance yeah that's exactly what it was um well anyway let's do a couple more questions we let mark uh like mark run hey chief thank you detective carda how are you

Starting point is 08:48:35 jeremiah wise how does mark look younger today than when shmohs first started benjamin button stuff there you go that's compliment mark mark alice well against my my best efforts jeremiah because my doctor's appointment i would snuck up on me was just a follow up from my physical and i'm like oh they need me to come in the office to go over blood work results it probably means I'm going to be dead this time next week. And everything is perfect. They just wanted to, I guess, look me in the eye and tell me in person.

Starting point is 08:49:00 Despite my and KFC's best efforts, my cholesterol is. Are you still doing KFC? Dude, let me tell you something. And this might be a hot tag. I don't know if your show can handle how spicy this is. The best chicken sandwich out there is Kentucky fried chickens. It's better than Chick-Bullay. It's better than Pop-I's.

Starting point is 08:49:19 It's better than whatever else you want to throw at. KFC has the best chicken sandwich going. Okay, okay. All right. All right. All right, let's see. Alan Smith, Ellis, do you ever have nightmares about being on the desk in Shmowdown where you wake up in a cold sweat and then say, thank God it was only a dream?

Starting point is 08:49:35 I wake up and I say, thank God. That was my penultimate dream of the night. I have, I've never dreamt about it. I don't think. But most of my dreams revolve around either places I've been to or like getting to a place. So a lot of times I'll have a dream. where it's like I have a stand-up set to do and I just cannot get from point A to point B. I keep getting sidetracked or I'm trying to watch a game I really want to see and I'm like at

Starting point is 08:50:02 the stadium and I just cannot get to the feet to my seats like that's that's usually the kind of dreams I have it has not revolved around the Smodown but hearing this new information as of today about what we're doing with the Schmodown that might start to kick in some of that nightmare to dole we still we still haven't we have to start discussing about who your partner in crime will be on the desk. Or partners. You never know. Never know.

Starting point is 08:50:28 We have a lot to do. Is there any more questions for Mr. Ellis? Before we let the gentleman go back to his wonderful life of watching, you know, what are you watching tonight? No, we don't. Okay. Ioshe, do you guys agree with Roka? Oh, this thing, that, Roker, that Shakespeare and Love

Starting point is 08:50:47 Desert to win the Oscar over the Supreme Prayer, Ryan, then, no. I think Shakespeare in Love is a really good movie, though. I did, too. I don't think it should have, I mean, Sam Barbara Ryan's a masterpiece. Save your private Ryan is great. And, okay, but before we go, did I tell you what I'm doing this week into next week at least? Is I'm so frustrated with my team. I felt like I had to be the one to kind of spur them on to victory against the Eagles because we're on a biweek this week.

Starting point is 08:51:16 So as of this past Tuesday morning, no, I'm not allowed to drink any alcohol at all. until the commanders win a football game. Oh, okay. Good luck. So we play the Eagles on Sunday night. It's our Y week this week. I'm not drinking for at least 10 days. And then we play the Eagles on Sunday night football.

Starting point is 08:51:37 And if we don't win that one, then we play the Rams, which is going to be tough. And if we don't win that one, then we play the Giants again on Thursday, and then we play the Giants again at football or anything can happen. It's going to be interesting. It's going to be very interesting. And I figured at least if my team is going down again this year, at least I'm going to get some health out of it. But I prefer to be a fat, drunk alcoholic and have my team go to the playoffs.

Starting point is 08:51:58 That's fair. All right, let's see. Who's better Rock Cooper Scissors to you? I think it would be a tie. I mean, do you want to play right now? No, I'm too tired. I'm still got the, I'm starting to get the fog. Still starting to get the fog.

Starting point is 08:52:15 You don't want to be anywhere near the fog because after the fog comes the beast. no that's why eight that's why eight because i hadn't eaten i hadn't eaten for i can't believe i willingly agreed to come on a stream with you knowing that there's a risk that if not for the grace of superhero matt sarah i would have had to deal with a beast a creature i have not yet seen since i had to scold it at comic concom you and riley it was riley yeah um all right let's go what else uh ghostbirds go um and um yeah i think it's even better than Bojangles. Christian, have you ever been to a Bojangles? It's southeastern, but now they have

Starting point is 08:52:57 in Vegas chicken joint. And if you're ever in North Carolina or below, go to Bojangs. As far as scores, I mean, I'd love to talk about scores more. You know, I've always a lot of different soundtrack. You know what particular track I'll recommend to people, too, is if you haven't seen the long walk,

Starting point is 08:53:15 there's a track on there, of Olson. And it's great. I listen to it all the time. I was reminded today how good the Godzilla minus 1, and I'll say the Godzilla minus 0 scores are too. Super, super, like, so perfect for those movies. Perfect, yeah.

Starting point is 08:53:34 Let's do two more for Mark. Mark, who you got tonight? Bears of the Pats, says Haskell. I think the Bears are going to take it. The Pats are still banked up in their secondary, and I think Caleb's going to feast on that. So I think it's going to be the Bears. Last one for Mr. Ellis.

Starting point is 08:53:48 Did he ask Mark when he's coming back? back to what is that, Minnesota? Minnesota or North, I was waiting to get there. Yeah, I got there. This is Florida of North Dakota. I will keep you posted. There's actually a joint in North Dakota that might be at

Starting point is 08:54:01 next year. So check back in soon, Princess. Oh, you do one more. You'll do it. Throw up one more. Let's do one more for more. Well, you did add already. Let's do one. That's not, that's not it.

Starting point is 08:54:15 We're hanging in. Okay. We're hanging in. We're not horrible. Yeah, you have somebody else a chance asking my question anymore okay congrats on going sober but do not smoke too many pots says mike rios that's the thing i still get to have my little my little right me trees at the right right right uh dude thank you for coming in again and and being with us and helping us out on this thing where uh you know we're so we're so we're so close to i mean shit we're doing this already so it's just a matter of now all together crazy so um i'll be out in l a again again

Starting point is 08:54:46 another one so we'll make sure we're coming out i mean it just depends on one more shooting and preparing and all that stuff. So, I mean, I'll be in contact with you to figure out how we're doing it. And then we're getting closer and closer when we start doing the, like, look, Freddie, there you go. How much to buy all my top shot cards? I'll trade you my Chris Paul, my Chris Paul sons for your whole collection. Sorry that I was, sorry that my perfect bill of health got in the way of our hour hanging out.

Starting point is 08:55:11 That's okay. Well, we had to get. People loved, people loved that live stream that we did. Oh, the one that we did in person? Yeah, it was like, it was over like. like 35,000 or something like that too. I was a fan of the studio. The minute I walked in and then when I found Talios,

Starting point is 08:55:25 three blocks away, I was like, yeah, this is getting better all the time. Yeah, it's good. So next time you come in New York, we'll make sure we'll do a trip into the city and we'll stop the Talios on the way up. Let's do it, man. All right, brother. All right, thanks, Mark. Make sure you check Mark out.

Starting point is 08:55:38 You got any gigs you want to promote or anything before? I'll be at the comedy store this Saturday. And if you guys follow me on social media, November 13th, I'm doing a big benefit. I'm headlining a benefit for the Pasadena Humane Society. It's a great shelter, dogs, cats, everything else. So you guys want to come out to that. It would mean a whole lot to the little critters of the world.

Starting point is 08:55:58 Awesome. Mark Ellis, everybody. Thanks, Mark. Give my best to free teeny. We'll do. Mark Ellis. So PLDia needs you to come in first. Oh, that's perfect.

Starting point is 08:56:09 What are you doing? Stop hitting buttons. So here's what I'm going to do, because Andrew's going to be in a second, and martini is going to come back in i have to pee i haven't peed in about four hours so i'm real quick i need you to take over before i bring um before i bring i bring andrew in and then we'll uh sure it up all right give me some questions i'll stay up here all right guys i'll leave me to listen in there christian you'll see this later on detective carter at this show is family guy pld is meg that's not entirely you're not entirely

Starting point is 08:56:49 wrong on that one for sure i agree with that completely Luke in here is very yes right well what are you then luke what are you then? I'm just in the corner somewhere where no, I'm the camera guy. That's what it is. I'm the camera guy and family guy. No one sees me there. No one knows I'm there. It works out perfect. It's actually probably the better place to be. At least you're not going to be dressing up as Shrek in going after Roka on some Monday, some random Monday. I can't believe you said. I thought you wanted to do that. I think it was a commenter. I thought you you said it. Somebody, I never would have pitched that. I never would have pitched that.

Starting point is 08:57:24 Are you sure? I really think that. Is that your thing? Do you just want me green? Is that it? I mean, any chance to dress up and make Roka, like, I'd be confused. I guess it's worth a shot, right?

Starting point is 08:57:37 He'll be confused for like two seconds, and then he'll get very angry, and he'll turn red to your green. Good. Christmas dream. Is that what's going on? That could be the Christmas dream? Maybe that's a real day.

Starting point is 08:57:51 AISL feels he was better rock, pepper, scissors, New Yorker, Roca? obviously me. I'm better than everything, Roca. At this point, PLE's children are probably starting.

Starting point is 08:58:00 No, my mom, my wife's here. She's feeding them. We're good. All right. All right. Beat it, you two. Beat it.

Starting point is 08:58:08 All right. All right, guys. We did nine hours so far. We're in the 10th hour. And as I said, we're going to close it. Bang. Now,

Starting point is 08:58:17 whether or not Martini is going to be juggling when she's here like she did in the first era. Who knows? But as we closed out last time, as I give him the introduction, he so greatly deserves, is my good friend and the director and producer of Trending, which is a show. We are going to make because of all of you. And we have now reached 281,371. We did it.

Starting point is 08:58:48 I'm going to start prepping with the gentleman I'm about to bring in now. That's my buddy. friend, my director, Andrew Free. What's up, Roosk? Hello, Christian. How are you? I'm freezing up. I'm having some real tech issues.

Starting point is 08:59:03 The tech issues, it's all right. But I have to say, I'm on a new computer. Okay. At a great connection. Okay. I've been using this connection for a lot of things and people. Oh, it's been fine. It's been great.

Starting point is 08:59:19 Not today. I'm naturally lit. Yeah. It's a little bright. I can diffuse that. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Look at that comment. It looks good. It looks good. Yeah. I froze. I was going to say, I'd like to try to blame myself, but I can't. Let's see. So Martini will be coming in and a little bit.

Starting point is 09:00:02 So we'll do that. I'm going to let him know that. I heard him. Sike. Yeah, it's all right. I heard you, but yeah, that would be good for the laptop. All right.

Starting point is 09:00:15 We'll get that. Dude, you know how much I love Talios. That was like sent from heaven. Dude, watching you. that was like court sure because i've been here with you the whole time too and i haven't gotten tell you oh yeah well but yeah you could stop and get some food if you want to eat that's sure right um so i'm like Andrew's just setting up his um his laptop once once he does we'll bring we'll bring him in um so people start putting in questions for and you know this is that this

Starting point is 09:00:42 is the conversation that we've talked about when people can be asking questions about the production and other things this is the time to get the questions into Andrew now right like And PLD will light them up. And we'll get some questions in there. And we will make sure we can get all this stuff that we need to do. So we got, let's say, can I want to, can I bring, can I bring you in, Andrew now? Yes.

Starting point is 09:03:37 Let's say, let's see that. That looks better. That looks better. That works. Okay. Is that your phone? Yeah. Can I ask you to just turn your phone horizontally?

Starting point is 09:03:49 Only if you do that with your hand more. can you do that let's see if it works for you it didn't work for Ellis does it work for you yeah there you go beautiful yeah look at that that looks great okay it looks good it looks good all right we're in we're in we did it hey what it that but that actually added a lot of comedy to that um so i'm glad that you did that um so andrew we are at 281 471 how about that 81 471 is an amazing number number. That's a really good number. We have a new executive producer in J.C. Rifenberg. Incredible. Brought to us, of course, by our great executive producer, Derek McMahon. We have another great

Starting point is 09:04:33 executive producer in Ryan S. And we talk about, we talk about Derek McMahon for a minute. Sure. Is that guy like the hero of this thing? I think all, I mean, look, what he's done has been incredible. The fact, look, Ryan S came out. It was like, we got a freaking Hail Mary passed to it and got us to a place where, I mean, he, he was the reason where we were able to, hey, break a couple different announcements and where I wanted to talk to you up. I've been holding back on, I mean, we've been talking about it, but I've been holding back on the extent of all the Kevin Pollock of it all because I felt like you should be the one to talk about that. I'm happy to talk about it. Yeah, yeah. So, so we had Wendy O'Brien on today.

Starting point is 09:05:15 We talked, you know, she, she, I talked to. That was Wendy. Dude, she's the coolest. She's just, and why she wants to be involved in this. So tell me what she said. Yeah. So I'm going to bring in our, Hey.

Starting point is 09:05:31 Your resident car. Car, yeah, but your camera looks good today. Camera looks good. It looks good. People love the juggling, by the way. They loved it. Really? Oh, they loved it.

Starting point is 09:05:41 Like it was sad or like they were on. No, no, no. They thought it was hilarious. And it was. Do you tell free? Oh, you're telling Frid, I juggled. Not yet. He just, Fried had a little bit, you should have seen the beginning.

Starting point is 09:05:51 We were trying to set up his camera beforehand was amazing. Like something was going on with his internet. Maybe it's karma for giving you shit. I think people are going to be worried about us creating the show. I know. It was good. So, well, to answer your questions, so Andrew had asked me, Martine before he came in,

Starting point is 09:06:07 how Wendy was in the conversation we had, right? Oh, yeah. Well, we talked about her. Moving. Don't mind me. Okay. We talked about her amazing career, obviously, in the things that she's done. and her approach with casting and all that.

Starting point is 09:06:18 And it eventually transitioned into how she got involved in this and why she got involved in this. And what I loved about her answer in general is similar to what we had talked about before, Fried, where it's what people are doing now and going outside of just the studio system and taking things into your own hands and making things happen. And similar to what you said to me, Fried, on one of our past interviews where you were talking about how it just feels good to be able to play, right? And like, that was what is exciting to her. And then I even said to her, I said, you know,

Starting point is 09:06:53 I don't give me any names or anything, but are you like already have thoughts about who could play who? And she's like, oh, I have a list. I came on. And I was that. And I was like, oh, she lives by list. Sorry. Her list is going to be so good.

Starting point is 09:07:05 I can't wait for her. We talked about that. And we talked about that. Well, you know, the first time I met with her. Yeah. She brought a list. I love that. And I was like, I don't think.

Starting point is 09:07:15 we're ready now this is keep in mind this is like months ago right right i was like i don't think we're there yet like we'll be excited for that if and when and she was like oh okay and she sort of put it away but like she was ready to cast that thing that day like she's but here's here's what i will say that i have audience with you too yeah at the same time um she loves your script i love that yeah as did kevin that's where i wanted to go with this because so we sam was well i'll tell you what kevin said to me yes please please please please So why don't you tell the stories? We need more Kevin's stories.

Starting point is 09:07:48 Well, this is the thing. The audience has been asking this, and I have been holding back on telling the full story of it except for little things because it's really not my story to tell on how he got it, all this stuff, the things that he said. Because I wasn't there when it's, so I would love for you. And I'll give you the single camera for this one, because I want people to hear this story. Martini missed my two camera coverage earlier, though, which was. You have to go back and watch it. He literally looked like Robert De Niro in Awakening's at one point where he was like, just sitting looking, he was sitting looking at the window as if he was just staring at birds.

Starting point is 09:08:20 It was, it was the best. It was the best. All right. He looked like Robert De Niro in Awakening's, by the way. Someone's senile grandfather. You should have seen the footage. It was so greeny. You couldn't tell who it was.

Starting point is 09:08:36 He just looked like he wanded into a park and just sat down and just sat down and then I turned. He turned. He turned. there like that and moves his head. And it was, it was so good. All right. So I want the audience to... That is karma for all the shit you gave me less.

Starting point is 09:08:56 100% of us. But we, yeah, look, what I had said, I'll tell you after you tell the story, I'll continue to say what I said. Okay. So I, I'll actually tell the long version of the story. I'm in single now because you can be, is that what happens? I want to give you your own single on this one.

Starting point is 09:09:12 You're eating a sandwich. Do you not? Which you're entitled to. I'm not. I actually just destroyed a pizza. I don't need to have more food. Would you like to not have a single? You're doing planks.

Starting point is 09:09:23 You're working out in some way. I want to see my cast. Nobody wants to see me. Everybody wants to see you. I mean, Christian puts me in a single so he could do pull-ups just so that he looks really yoked for the last hour of the live stream. It's unbelievable. Go ahead.

Starting point is 09:09:42 Okay. So. many many many years ago about 13 14 years ago I was doing a campaign for AMC that I was directing around the end of Mad Men and so there were lots of fans of the series Mad Men that I was interviewing and collating these interviews for like you know just like interstitials

Starting point is 09:10:06 between the series and its last season lots of cool people that I got to interview for that, but I was sitting with Kevin Pollock, who was one of the interview subjects for that. I had never met him before. And we're like waiting for a light to adjust or whatever, and he says, so who else are you interviewing today? And I have my list, and I said, you know, Brian Cranston has I recall. And oh, that guy's great. Yeah, of course. I said,

Starting point is 09:10:37 James L. Brooks. And he goes, I play poker with Jim Brooks. Oh, wow. And I go, you play poker? He goes, I do. And he looks at me and he goes, you play poker? I go, I do. And he said, why don't you come Tuesday night? Oh, that was awesome.

Starting point is 09:10:57 That was funny. For 13 years now, or whenever the badman finale was, I've been playing poker at Kevin Pollock's house, which is great. And really, he's like brought me into like the whole sort of poker community in L.A. and I get to play in a lot of cool games now, really because of him. I sent this Kickstarter campaign in like, hey, write a check, guys, to some poker buddies, to some other friends, people who I know how willing they are to bet 50 bucks on a seven-duce off suit. And so, yeah, like, let's get your check writing for the big Kickstarter campaign here.

Starting point is 09:11:42 Kevin was nice enough to respond to that email saying, what's my role? Which is amazing. Right? Which, you know, like, and when I say all this, even though I've, or maybe not even though, especially, but because I've been friends with Kevin for all this time, it doesn't get any less fun or like cool for me, right? Like, we're playing a poker game and he starts telling a story about him and Tom Cruise,

Starting point is 09:12:10 or he starts telling a story about this one and that one. And it's like, you know, it's, it's, it's cool every time. So when he said, now I know how boring my stories are, though. That's good to know. But he says, so he says, what's my role? And I said, how serious are you? And I think his exact response was utterly serious. Which means a lot.

Starting point is 09:12:40 Of course that. Like, this is all a sort of exercise of love. And that's at first without reading the script. Well, so then I said, so then I said, let me send you the script, take a look, and we'll talk about it. Right. When I saw him after he read the script, his honest response was, and this is what he, I told you this, but we stepped outside and he said, man, was I relieved that the script is good. That's funny. I love that.

Starting point is 09:13:06 Right? Yeah. He goes, because it could have gone anyway. but I'm so relieved that the script was good. And I said, great. I said, well, let's talk about this role of Vince. And I don't know how much your audience knows about the script. They know.

Starting point is 09:13:19 Our character descriptions are on the Kickstarter now. Right, right, right. Okay. I said, you know, this role of Vince would be great. And, you know, we could flesh it out some more. It's sort of open-ended. And, you know, it's one shoot day. So if you and I got to play on set for a day, that would be so great.

Starting point is 09:13:35 It would be a dream come true. Like, he knows what a fan I am with his and admirer of his. right? Like, um, and so he says, Vince is a cameo. Yeah, yeah, it would be a lot of fun. He goes, well, I'm not going to do a cameo. He goes, I want to play Ron. Right. And I'm like, what? I go, Ron is a real, there's a lot, there's heavy lifting to do there. That's, it's, it's, you know, it's a few days of work. He goes, I want to play Ron. That is so cool. I love it. And I was, I was, you know, I was. was, you know, blown away.

Starting point is 09:14:13 I sort of had to catch my breath. We talked a little bit more, but I think within six minutes, I texted you guys and Craig, just on our little, like, very private chat. And I said, what did I say? Kevin will be playing the role of Ron. Yeah, and I passed out. It was great.

Starting point is 09:14:34 It was, it was, he wants, and he likes the script, he wants to play the role of raw. And that was it. And then, but the fact that really, and it really does. It's so surreal. Yeah. It launches us into a totally different thing. Like when I think of every crew member that I need to book and, you know, look,

Starting point is 09:14:54 we have raised a lot of money. This is amazing. But we still don't have like a million and a half dollars to make a pilot. We're still going to be calling in favors and getting people who like are excited to do this because of what it is, not because of what the paycheck is. Right. And to put that opportunity in front of people. um i think it's i think it's so fucking exciting and i'm i'm grateful to kevin on a friendship level

Starting point is 09:15:19 i'm grateful to you guys again for writing this script that is attracting all of this attention and energy and it's just it's just right guys it's just right you know and what i said andrew about this what i've been saying on on the stream today and i'll repeat it so you can hear it as well too is that I would the fact that you were giving the script and Martini and I both had been that that you were giving the script in the first place that was a win all of in itself that's what I said to him I go the fact that I can say to my friends and colleagues I got Kevin Pollock to read the script

Starting point is 09:15:54 was like that was a win that's what I said to him so that was win number one well for Christian and I was a win that you read it so now I don't think about where we are right well that was that's true it was win number one that he read it right win number two was that he read it and liked it, right? That's win, too. Even if he would have said,

Starting point is 09:16:13 I really liked the script. I don't know if anything is in here, but, but call me for episode three if we can figure out something, if there's a neighbor. I'm so glad that I had a chance to read it. I wish you luck with it. I mean, that would have been a win.

Starting point is 09:16:26 The third win is if he would have said, yeah, I'll do, I'll do the Vince roll for one day. Why not? You know, sure. Sounds fun. That would have, wait, by the way, that would have been a massive, massive win.

Starting point is 09:16:37 And holy shit, Kevin Pollock is going to be in our thing. This is, this is beyond that. And this is not only as the writers on it, looking at what Martino are like, holy shit, this guy who's been in all this legend, a legendary comedian, a legendary actor, the things that he's been, the guy who just knows a legendary storyteller. Yeah, I think we said the word legend like 800 times in the past week. But it's true, right? I know.

Starting point is 09:17:02 We're just like, he's a legend. And the fact that he responded to the script. in that way that he liked it that he you know he wasn't that that that goes a long way yeah it's the whole thing guys it's the whole thing right if you ever hear well it's how we're all talking about this it's just the words are there on the page he said i think he was surprised that you guys aren't like really really young which i took as a great because he said it's so of the moment it feels so in touch with like what's going on. He said, how did they capture that voice

Starting point is 09:17:40 if they're not 26? I said, martini is 26. What a great answer. I just look like garbage. No, no, no. I'd rather you tell if someone I'm 70s. But man, she can juggle. Right.

Starting point is 09:17:55 But honestly, what I said, not to get too serious about it, but I said, I think the comedy doesn't come from the point of view. It comes from the tension. Yeah. And the tension for all of us in this moment of like, what is hip, what is not, what is cool, what is what is next. It's reinventing.

Starting point is 09:18:10 It's what I face every day, being the oldest mom at the school pickup at the trying to reinvent my life in midlife. I think it is the tension of like us reinventing ourselves. That's why I think doing this now, as opposed to when Christian originally came up with maybe doing a show like this is actually better. It's way more complex, way more interesting, way more funny. And just the different generations, the clash of the different generations. And I love that Kevin brings in like a whole different level.

Starting point is 09:18:39 So like there's all these different ages, all at these different points in their lives, all struggling. And I just think it all collides. And it's actually really funny. You just nailed it. That's the whole thing. This is going to represent all the generations. It's going to represent in how they see what's going on today off of Kevin's point of like the voice of it. It's everybody of how they're dealing with this now, how their worldview, how their generational world.

Starting point is 09:19:06 worldview is portraying this. That's the goal of at least what we're trying to do with every person who's in this. And I think with him involved in that, that's going to just shine a big light on that message, I think. And how we all are coming from it from such a different place and struggling with it, you know, and like content is king and what that means for people like us and then younger people is just so funny. What he also said was he's like, wow, this thing really gets cooking. It's funny. It's laugh out loud funny.

Starting point is 09:19:33 Wow. That's like an honor. Yeah, that's huge. That's huge. I'd love to know it's like what things up. Yeah. And who was just talking about it too? Shit.

Starting point is 09:19:44 Who was just talking about the scene that they read and it gets to a place? Who, Peltie, who was that? I was on our show talking about the script and saying that there was a moment in the script when the tension builds towards the end of it. Oh my God. And the podcast at the end when they're together? I can't remember who was they. So they read, God, it was on this.

Starting point is 09:20:01 Might have been hour three of your live stream today. Would you forget? What are you tired? It would have been. I can't remember. Shit, it was somebody on the... When Peelty's this silent, he can't remember either. I've been here as long as you have. I can't remember anything either at this point.

Starting point is 09:20:14 Dude, who was it? Who was it? Oh, Greg. He was Greg. It was Greg. It was Greg. It was Greg. Thank you. The chat pointed out. First of all, I love you, Jersey. I know that it's very small right now. Yeah.

Starting point is 09:20:29 But it's a great jersey. That was Caleb Williams or Mike Tomzac, but I'm assuming it's Caleb. Williams. It is Caleb, although I was alive from Mike Tom, Zach, where the Super Bowl shuffle got me into the Bears. So, uh, so, so thank you. It was Greg Alba. And Greg Alba was on the show. We were talking. How's Greg Alba?

Starting point is 09:20:47 He's doing great. He was talking. He said, because he, he wanted to go back. He read the script again last night because he wanted to read it with Kevin and mine with Ron. And he's just like how perfect it was and the things he said, but and he wanted her and he also said, I remember reading this the time ago and it was so good. He's like, everyone's responding to it. Is it really not good? And he's like, and it's

Starting point is 09:21:05 really that, that good he read it again and right now we're just like talking about how great it is it could yeah yeah he that's what and that's what he said so he read it again and he said that the leading up to that he didn't specifically mention that part martin but i think that's what he was alluding to um so yeah so it's it was it's cool to see people responding to it in that way but pld let's let's let's bring in smith because he's got some games for martini and and andrew i like the game i know you that's where smits he's coming he's coming in as long as i don't have to juggle again i'm good he's he's coming in yeah he's got so he's he's

Starting point is 09:21:35 He made some games specifically tailored to the both of you guys. Michael Keaton, Batman. No, no, no, that's not that kind of game. Mike Joyce is, Andrew's a Bears fan. I like him even more now. I am a Bears. I've been a Bears. I've been a Bears.

Starting point is 09:21:49 I've been a Bears. I've been a Bears. We just hit 751, guys. I'm sending Mike Kalanowski to the Avian Awards now because we hit 270. Oh, my God's so exciting. Yeah, he's excited. He's, well, he's, he's really excited to go and check those out. So I think that sounds exciting for him.

Starting point is 09:22:05 And us if we get reports. We're going to get footage. Okay. Yeah. Where's Smets? I want to, it ends how it began. Yeah, I know. Smets.

Starting point is 09:22:16 Are you working on, are you working on Smithsey? I get him five. Five minutes. So let's do some questions for Martini and Andrew until Smetzy gets here. Because we got a lot of stuff now that people are going to be wanting because it, yeah, all right, let's see. Selex, good thing he's our director and not our camera. I'll take that.

Starting point is 09:22:34 That's fair. That's fair. All right, next one. Question one or two. Andrew, I apologize if it's a dumb question or an offensive one, but I was just wondering, what's the difference? Is there, is there from a directing a documentary, it's directing a sitcom pilot?

Starting point is 09:22:45 It's not a dumb question at all. Well, that's not a dumb question at all. What I will say to you, the true answer is I'll be able to talk about that after I've directed a sitcom pilot. But I know, look, in a serious way, I know inherently it's fundamentally different, right? And yet, it is the same, principles that I bring to documentary directing. Directing of documentaries can be tricky, right?

Starting point is 09:23:10 It's actually harder, probably. Well, in some ways, but there's an interview component to it, right? There's, sometimes you're just chasing, you're keeping up with something. Oh, they're going there, they're going there, I got to be, right? But when it's at its best and when there's like Verite filmmaking happening, you are creating a sandbox that people can play in that they sort of don't need to leave, right? So we'll, when we're doing a chef's table episode, we pre-light the kitchen so that everything that's happening in the kitchen looks beautiful. And then it's like, okay, it's happening in this sandbox. How do I capture it in a beautiful dynamic sort of interesting way?

Starting point is 09:23:45 Maybe a weird way. And so I do want to bring some of that to this. When I imagine some of our hero set pieces being in a podcast environment where two people are in a podcast and other people, like to me, that's a take on a Veritas document, scene that I'm building the sandbox. I do plan candidly to use multiple cameras at least

Starting point is 09:24:11 going in situations like that so that I'm not asking you guys to recreate something over and over again. I'm just building a sandbox for you to do something in that I can capture it in as beautiful a way as possible. So it's

Starting point is 09:24:27 different. I'm hoping to draw on some of what I am hopefully pretty good at. and bringing it to this and i'll tell you after i love that uh well yeah let's let's let's wrap this part up and then we got kevin uh here draven also when we get a season how many episodes would you want to direct or would you just direct the pilot great question i think i i i hope you are stuck with me um now some some of the beautiful one of the beautiful things about episodic

Starting point is 09:25:00 television is that as the director of the pilot you can create a template that other people can then come play with. I have a friend who I want to make sure that I'm able to say this because I'll plug her if I can. Anyway, my friend Kate Sullivan directed an episode of

Starting point is 09:25:23 Nobody Wants This. And that's her first episodic television directing credit, but she just hopped in and I forget which episode it is. I would have to look it up. But, like, that's great. Let's get Kate Sullivan. Let's get other people.

Starting point is 09:25:39 Like, let's get other people to be directing these. When you look at, like, the really great sitcoms, they've had people pop in and direct an episode here and there. And so if the look and vibe of it is strong enough, then anyone can direct it. But I have a sense that I'll love this. You won't be able to get rid of me that easily. You're going to want to craft the story and stuff, too.

Starting point is 09:26:04 you want to tell you're in there i can see that i know i and i that's one of the reasons too i feel like look you guys may want to be done with me you may be like this was great great that freed directed his episode and now let's get him out of here i don't know stop yelling at me just for the kick starter video yeah i know so we did have fun we did have fun we did have fun uh all right we got but like but like that just to say like that was very new for me yeah right like doing comedy performance to camera camera and having a lot of information. But you were a comedian, so I think people should know that too.

Starting point is 09:26:39 Because I think that brings your, it shows your sensibility. You know what I mean? Yeah. I do want to be funny. I don't know that I have been, but with your help, maybe I can be. No, you're very funny. You know you are. All right. Look at this guy.

Starting point is 09:26:53 Smots. Oh. Let me tell. I just want to say. I love your mood. You got a mood going there. Thank you. Martini, same thing.

Starting point is 09:27:01 Are you able to turn your camera? Let's see you, Andrew, Andrew. Oh. Perfect. So, you know, Kevin joining the show, you guys have been talking about me the last hour, about how excited you are for me to be joining the show. And I just, I just want to say thanks. He called me a legend. Oh, Kevin is a legend.

Starting point is 09:27:19 Yeah. I didn't know I would affect you guys that well. I hope I can, you know. Although we can say that this Kevin has worked with Christian Bale. I did. He kind of yelled at me. Well, that makes you a legend in your own right. It's true.

Starting point is 09:27:32 I heard the Batman voice before any. anyone else did about 15 years before. That's true. All right. So, Kevin, you designed some games specifically for Andrew and, and March. Yeah. And this is how quick I am. Yeah.

Starting point is 09:27:44 I was working, seeing this on the side. Andrew Freed, I'm working on a show, but don't worry if I ever work on one of your shows. I won't do this on the side. But I was working at me, I heard you talking about poker. So let's do SG poker. Let's start it out with a fun one, PLD. Just because you talk about your poker story. I was like, wow.

Starting point is 09:28:01 Okay. I'm in. This is great. You've been offered. $5 million. I better put my glasses on. To enter the world of one of these poker movies,

Starting point is 09:28:08 you've got to survive the entire movie and walk away with the money. Basically, what movie gives you the best chance where you can come away as the victor of this poker tournament? You got Rounders, one of my favorites, Casino Real, Maverick, the Cincinnati Kid, and Molly's game.

Starting point is 09:28:22 Which one are you guys joining in? Which one has the best shot at taking all the money? I'm a Molly's game because that's the only one I've seen. I think Molly's game, just from like a poker play standpoint, that's like regular games with regular people, as I recall it. But if I really wanted to hop into one of the worlds and making money was not the goal, it would be the Rounders world. Rounders?

Starting point is 09:28:45 I mean, that movie is like, it's a very formidable, like, important movie for me. The time it came out and I was just learning to play then. And I love Brian Coppelman. So, yeah. And you can't get shot. If you're playing in Maverick, you could have, like, it could be. Oh, that's true. Maverick's a different thing.

Starting point is 09:29:07 I think the Casino Royale, I don't know that movie that well. I think the poker in that might be kind of bullshit. I think if we, like, watch the poker scene, it would be like, I have a, like, it's just like not. Yeah, I would have to rewatch it. But as I recall, we bust balls about Casino Royale. Have you ever gone toe to toe with Toby McGuire? That's a good question for you. No, I haven't.

Starting point is 09:29:31 I've played. Sarah in it? Yes, I've heard that too. Would you bark like a seal and jump on the poker table and bark like a... But I have heard all of those rumors as well. I can't confirm or deny it. But I have played, you know, I played with Ray Romano. Ray Romano is a great poker player.

Starting point is 09:29:46 Oh, nice. Deborah. I've played with Don Shield. He does not do that, although... Sorry! Yeah, sorry. He does not do it. But he was...

Starting point is 09:29:57 No, but he was, like, there was a dinner break at the game we were playing in recently, and he's like, I hear a... it's tacos. Is it tacos for dinner? And it's like, you are? He is him. I bet there's going to be a line for those tacos. Like, you know, he's really, it's like, real. That's really good.

Starting point is 09:30:14 And then we were playing with Ellen DeGeneres once. Oh, nice. Yeah, you played some with some heavy hitters then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they, and they were talking about, if there's money in voiceover, there's money in voiceover. Is there money in voiceover? And, uh, somebody at the table. table set it. And Ray Romano just kept going,

Starting point is 09:30:34 she's Dory. She's Dory. She's Dory. That's good. All right, Keb, what's the next one? Maybe he'll be next. Let's get him on next. Do we have a role for Romano? I did voiceover work. I was

Starting point is 09:30:54 Derek and Bobby's role, so I got to work with, like, Howie Mandel and all of them. And it was so fun. And it's like, so quick and easy. It was in the same studio as Phil Roman. So Simpsons people would come in right after us. So I'd see all the Nancy Cartwrights and everybody come in as a kid. I was a kid. Oh, really?

Starting point is 09:31:09 Yeah. That's pretty amazing. Bobby, you know, that Bobby voice, that Bobby character was a big deal for me. When Howie Mandel was a stand-up only, my name is Bobby. Was like, I'm not going to do the voice, but it was a huge bit for me back of the day. Yeah. Yeah. And he'd flub his lines and, like, curse in the Bobby's voice and it'd always make me laugh as a kid.

Starting point is 09:31:29 He would fake, like, he would be to make everybody laugh. He just started customizing it. All right, here we go. We got the next one. Let's go to SG1. We're going to go a little bit into the trending territory. I'd love to hear Martini weigh in on this, too. Trending has been officially picked up by a major streaming service.

Starting point is 09:31:44 The budget is massive. The cast is celebrating the show's guaranteed a worldwide hit. But the studio has called you with one non-negotiable condition. Which do you accept? And you're going to have to deal with this. One, you're contractually required to read and respond personally to every negative online comment about the show. Christian would love that. Two, your character is rewritten to be the most hated person on television.

Starting point is 09:32:05 The public believes that that is your real personality, so they start to hate you. This is a great question. Three, the biggest Hollywood rival enemy. I mean, we all have our enemy or a rival. Your biggest rival becomes the showrunner and has completely creative control. So imagine the notes of sessions on that. You're removed from the cast and replaced by your high school bully, but you get to keep your producer credit. Or finally, you remain in the cast but give up.

Starting point is 09:32:30 all public credit for creating the show. No credit, but you get paid. So it's just, you're just off it. So that first one, so that's not fun. Martini should answer that one. I'm negative comments. I don't give a shit about those, so I can respond to those all day.

Starting point is 09:32:44 Yeah, I'd probably take that as well because the other stuff, yeah, the other stuff would just be annoying. Yeah, annoying to do. Yeah, but outside of the comments is the least annoying one. Yeah, outside of that one.

Starting point is 09:32:55 And the least effective of the show, too, because like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And you can just, you mean, yeah, And you just, you just laugh and, you know, okay, at least I have all the seasons. What the hell do I care what monkey farts, 37 things? So, and then. Can you go get that handle now is the greatest. You know someone in a chat will and do a super chat?

Starting point is 09:33:14 That's how they work. Who's to say that's already not my, that's a ghost account I have. Oh, that's the guy always heckling me in the super chat. So, Andrew, so outside of the cast element of it. Yeah, what would you do? What would you do? I tend to agree with Martini. I think that the negative comments are noise.

Starting point is 09:33:31 And if somebody wants me to respond to them, yeah, I'm sure Claude could help. Yes, right. All right. You got another one, Smet's? I used to always respond to my haters when I was in the Schmodeon because I started out as a heel and people would be like, and I would, but myself and Kaiser, we would turn them into our favor. They'd end up liking us by the end because we just respond to everybody. Like, who cares? Like a great heel.

Starting point is 09:33:53 Yeah. Next up, SG2, in honor of Kevin Pollock. it's the Kevin Pauli movie universe. You must spend the next five months living inside one of these Kevin Pollock movie universes, experience its world as an ordinary person. So one, you would be living in casino. So you'd be on Las Vegas Strip, but you'd have to be in the back rooms of Tangiers, like you'd be in the middle of like where that action's happening.

Starting point is 09:34:18 Two, usual suspects, you would work in the interrogation rooms in the police lineup, so you'd be working for the police department. Three, the whole nine yards, you would just be living in the suburbs like right next store to, you know, one of the neighbors across the street. Willow, you would live at the castle. Don't forget about the mob hideways, too. The what? The mob hideways in the road.

Starting point is 09:34:37 Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, I mean, it's probably not a good place to do. Willow, tear as lean castle. That's a shmow down question. You'd live just in the castle in the kingdom with all those events. Or a few good men, Guantanamo Bay and the Washington, D.C. courtroom. You'd be along for the ride for the courtroom.

Starting point is 09:34:55 That's a long question. Sorry, guys. but what world would you live in? I think it's a great question. I'll let Martini go first. Oh, you guys are so nice. Michael Keaton. Michael Keaton.

Starting point is 09:35:04 I feel like I would want to live in a period piece, so I'd live in Willow as long as everyone wasn't dying of the plague or something. I just don't know what the story's about. You know Willow's not a period piece. It's a fantasy movie with like trolls and orcs and dragons. Okay, never mind. I'll go to a casino. Okay.

Starting point is 09:35:23 No, you can still do, you know, it's period. That's fine. That's fine. I think you would be surprised when you arrived in the land of Willow. Yeah. You think it's like London? Yeah, I thought it was like, $1,500. Yeah. You'd be like, let's smoke.

Starting point is 09:35:40 And it'd be like, what? What do you think happens here? Nine foot troll washing his ass in the moat. What should happen? What is that in the movie? Let's do the trucks? Groceries. I get to wear this dress.

Starting point is 09:36:04 I like her dress. And meanwhile, she gets gobbled up by a dragon. Shits her out on Wednesday. She can go up to Willow, one of the most important characters, be like, look at that nice little boy. Would you like a fool? Oh, my God, that's all shitting. Now I'm going to go watch that movie.

Starting point is 09:36:28 You look just like an E-Walk. I think she said, by the way, as long as there was no plague, what did you say? Yeah. You get a lot more than plague. he isn't my strong suit, guys. I don't want any plague as you get eaten by a dragon. Martina, you should

Starting point is 09:36:46 really check out. There's a great story if you want to catch up on all the Tudors dynasty. It's called Lord of the Rings. You should really love. I love that one. It's non-fiction. Oh, so good. Oh, I got you. I got you. Very funny. She's living in Willow. Christian, where are you living at? Whole nine years. Because it's essentially Long Island.

Starting point is 09:37:02 You just got to avoid the mob. You're going to see one wrong thing. What if you can't? You're going to see one wrong. You're going to see one wrong. one wrong thing and they're going to whack you. Also like Long Island. That's what I said. It's like Long Island. I'm in voice. And so you think there are

Starting point is 09:37:20 more mobsters in the whole nine yards or in Rockville Center? Maybe. Who knows? Are they still around? I don't think they have as much fun as they used to. Everything's legal now. It's a lot more rules. You can get hot at the store. You could bet on the football game online. Like what are they?

Starting point is 09:37:39 That's true. That's funny. There's nothing illegal. What are we going to do? I don't know what rules to break. I want to see. I want to write that movie. What are we going to do?

Starting point is 09:37:50 They're going to jaywalk to get that old rush. Well, essentially if you watch Tulsa King, like he, it's such a smart thing is where he goes in, Stallone is like he goes into the weed shops and takes a piece of the weed shops. You know, it's like, that's like what they probably would do with them, as opposed to like just finding guys to deal. stuff on the streets. Just go to the legal stores and get a piece of that. If you're doing that, why not do that at like, crate and barrel? Like, why does it have to be weed if you're just shaking

Starting point is 09:38:19 down a store? That's true. You want to shake down Best Buy, right? That's what I'm saying. Rating Beryton barrel. Like, I got one running numbers at pottery barn. I don't know. You got a couple new showerheads, boss. Oh, my God.

Starting point is 09:38:35 What are you? My world. My world is the Tangiers. I love that. Now, I will say a few good men is one of my favorite movies. Full Stop. You don't want to live there. I don't want to live there. I don't want to code red. And I don't want any of that. And I can't handle the truth, quite honestly. But the Tangiers, yeah, I'll be there. I would probably be there on almost any lists. you could come up with a hundred worlds of movies and I think I would still yeah I think I'll still be at the tangiers

Starting point is 09:39:13 I'll go to Willow so I can safely navigate martini through all the dangers well look at sell X2-3 Thank you Cell X23 says what are we going to do a mob story directed by Andrew Free with historical facts from Martini Peratory

Starting point is 09:39:27 Yeah it's all legal now Hey you guys want to go after that Covell why do I love that one so much because the guy got so excited for the idea that's why it's like he popped into his mind he's like I got it whoa whoa whoa whoa

Starting point is 09:39:53 I've been thinking they do the double twist chocolate and vanilla I think we're on to something here maybe you got another one for it I want a co-EP credit yeah we got two more I hope you guys are having fun with this. I hope it's history. Let's see here.

Starting point is 09:40:14 Let's see here. Your show now is picked up for five seasons, but the studio, and this is kind of for Martini, who you're going to have to put up with, and Christian. You as a director, to be honest. Okay, so the studio insists on casting

Starting point is 09:40:25 one notoriously annoying fictional character as your co-star. So this fictional character would be the character, not the actor playing the character. And you have to work alongside them every single day. They behave exactly as they do in their movies or shows. Who do you choose to be your co-star for five seasons? You got Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory.

Starting point is 09:40:41 We got Mr. Bean. You got Michael Scott from the office. You got Screech from Save by the Bell. Jar Jar Binks, of course. Homelander. I don't know who would choose that guy. Or Alan from the Hangover movies. Who are we working with here for five seasons?

Starting point is 09:40:55 I'm Michael Scott. Michael Scott. That's a brutal list. It is a brutal list. I want to say Jar Jar Binks. Oh, God. But no. Honestly, the later season, Michael Scott,

Starting point is 09:41:09 Like once he got into like season three, four, he was sweet guy. Likeable. Yeah. Yeah, but he probably like ad-libbing all the lines. He would drive you nuts. I'd go, I'd go screech. What? Because Screech wasn't a bad dude.

Starting point is 09:41:25 He was just a little annoying here and everybody just wanted to be loving. And Screech had like magical powers and shit. Magical powers? Yeah. He could like, he used to be able to like see the future and tell time. He got hit by lightning and he was just okay. He was fine. That is not the story of saved by the bell.

Starting point is 09:41:42 I don't remember that. It 100% was. Look it up. I was a saved by the bell freak. Oh, yeah. He knows. And he would do these. And look, he was annoyed.

Starting point is 09:41:54 Maybe he was just autistic. I don't think he was struck by lightning. To be honest, you could hang out with Screech. You could hang out with Screech. Yeah, you could. You're a good guy. You take all kinds.

Starting point is 09:42:07 And I feel like you and Screech would be fine. fine. You would be fine. And if you noise you, you could put him on a bunch of tires and you know, lock him down. So he would last all your jokes. And if he got out of line, screech, take it easier. I'm going to lock you in Carville with Mario.

Starting point is 09:42:25 That's what we call a callback. That's right. What's the last one? Okay, we got one more than I do have to jet. Then you go and we're going to do some questions. We'll finish up with some questions. Yeah, yeah. Andrew Friede, survival challenge. I love going through his role of of movies and shows and seeing what we can do here.

Starting point is 09:42:41 You must become a cast member of one of your shows, either reality or the documentary, for an entire year, which means you have to participate in everything they do, be on camera, no special treatment, you're just one of the cast. Which do you choose? I already have one of them in mine. A.K. Charlie Sheen, two, the America Sweetheart, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. The three, being Mike Tyson, you got to be with him training and stuff like that.

Starting point is 09:43:03 Welcome to Rexum or Chasing Waves. What say you, what show are you guys going to be on? I'll let Andrew start with that one. I love Mike Tyson, and he is a whole lot of fun. So as much as I'd love to try the splits for Thunderstruck, I mean, look, if I could be me in Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, just hanging out with the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders. And yeah, that does seem desirable.

Starting point is 09:43:33 But you're on the top of the pyramid, buddy. Yeah. Any day with Mike Tyson, I'm in. That guy's the man. Awesome. That's good to know. He's good people, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Martini? I'll do Rexum because I like drinking in pubs. Yeah, you're going to be like a co-owner of a, it's like living your dream of co-owning a sports team.

Starting point is 09:43:55 That would be bad. I like, I like those Brits. That team organizing and putting together like that team watching kind of, that would be the most fun. I will say this, like those, that my early. trip to Wales when I think back and even just like look back at the pictures of that. Similar to this, it is the biggest thrill that I have in my career and in my life is that the feeling at the beginning of something. And that first trip to Wales was that. Like it really, like, I wish I could bottle that feeling that I had that weekend of like, oh my God, we're really doing this. And the world doesn't quite know it yet. That's how I feel about this.

Starting point is 09:44:34 Oh, goosebumps. I knew you're going to say that. I'm like, that's going to shoot my goosebumps up. Kevin, first of all, dude, thank you so much for making yourself so good on today for doing this. Congrats on everything. I'm so happy. You guys are so talented and the story's going to get to be told. And like I said, when I was working on the social media stuff that I don't think we ever quite did,

Starting point is 09:44:54 I got to see these people in action, their chemistry in between takes. And that's going to carry over. and then what I saw Andrew do with the thing that I helped edit or, you know, polish or whatever I did to it, seeing how he brought them even out even more from what I saw when they were doing that reactions thing. They're in good hands. It's going to be tremendous. And I just can't wait. I'm so proud of all of you guys.

Starting point is 09:45:18 So congratulations. And I love you guys. We got more work to do, Kevin. More work to do. Thank you. So far. You've been such a critical, critical part of this. I can't express my appreciation to you in words.

Starting point is 09:45:31 accurately, honestly, like just the energy that you've brought to this since the first time we started cutting stuff together, but, you know, your relationship with Christian, the way you support him and us, it's just money can't buy it. So thank you very much, Kevin. And money can't buy the, the support he gave me during my cancer battle and stuff. So like, it's, I'm paying it forward and anything you guys need, whatever. Just let me know. I'm on your, Sean Mike, I'm going to send, I'm going to send, I'm going to send, I'm going to send Andrew some of your, some of your Shmodown matches too because as we're getting closer to Shmodon. He's going to...

Starting point is 09:46:04 Or at least send him the the preview, the stuff that Nerd Chronic edited. That's... I will. I'm going to show them some of the promos. He'll love them. All right. Love you guys. Bye, guys. All right. So now we're going to get to the questions

Starting point is 09:46:18 before we close it up here with you guys. Is this the end of the live stream? So I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a few of the questions with you guys. We'll wrap it up what we have coming to expect in the future. And then I'm going, I have to,

Starting point is 09:46:33 one of my obligations was that we hit a certain goal. I have to try to call Mike Kalinowski and tell him that we're sending them to the Avians and then I'm going to close it up. So, let's, let's get to some. All right, here we go.

Starting point is 09:46:45 Sam. Andrew question. I had a non-industry friend asked me about you can see everything. They were excited, but found it being a best picture contender insulting to docs where I don't. Where do you land? Embarrassingly, I have not been, I have not seen this film yet. but what I can say so far is

Starting point is 09:47:06 I don't know why it would be insulting to docs. I don't know enough yet to know that it would be insulting to docs. I know roughly what people are saying about it. I've tried not to spoil it too much, but I know what Nathan Fielder does, and I know I don't think it should be insulting to docs. I personally think I describe what I do as nonfiction

Starting point is 09:47:33 so it avoids some of like the document is it doc, is it reality, is it this, is it that, is it contrived? It's nonfiction. That is a true story. And so that's how it should be judged. But I'll know more once I see the film. The other thing, Andrew, I forgot to mention to you, by the way, when we discussed,

Starting point is 09:47:56 I said once we both said, okay we have another special announcement that we can make and we said let's do it at like 275 when we hit it and we did how about that oh shooley shooley harrell is an oh i didn't see the picture yeah we announced shulie as do so srida we've been waiting for that one that announcement and now we can look so gorgeous we officially can make that announcement so why should people be excited that chooley is gorgeous and she's a gorgeous producer and she is in Paris right now making a movie. And she, you know, we'll fill everybody in on her extensive resume and all the great stuff that she's made.

Starting point is 09:48:38 But she's going to help us pull this thing off. She's fantastic. We have a hell of a team, man. It's amazing. Let's go. Next one. Andrew, will you pull a Kubrick says Ellen Smithy and make Christian do 86 takes of the same thing just to break him down emotional and get raw drama? breaking him down emotionally is definitely on my list of goals.

Starting point is 09:49:01 Whether we're going to do that, thank you, Martini. Whether we do that through 86 takes or another way, I don't know. Honestly, as I was saying before, I'd love to certainly do several takes and play around and be as experimental as we can, but I also want to have, I think, multiple camera rolling, multiple cameras rolling on this so that we're creating the most authentic and real environment for everyone to be playing with each other in and yeah I'll find something to torture Christian with that whether we're directing something whether we're having dinner there will always be something that I can torture Christian with he's our favorite thing to do yeah in a fun way

Starting point is 09:49:49 yeah and that Peele you what you doing between the three of you what who's who's the best of rock paper scissors uh i don't know what to play it on set and find out i won't be beaten yeah all right next i tend to go rock i get a lot of anxiety just remember just remember that as you select what you're doing tend to go rockets now i go rock i go rock my choice how much non-kickstar marty well that well the first goal was to do this first and then see where where we go from there yeah yeah uh select mr fried mr fried so i so far i know most of your production work from 04 to 2026. As a director, what's your favorite genre if you could pick your golden project second to

Starting point is 09:50:31 trending, of course? Well, thank you for saying that. Yeah. You know, that question, it honestly evolves over time. There are things that I want to do today that I didn't want to. Right. So it's a little bit of a non-answer. I do not have a holy grail, like, project.

Starting point is 09:50:50 I mean, I'll tell you this. Billy Crystal's one-man show opened last night. on Broadway. It did. It did. Everybody loved it. I was just thinking about him. I love him. Um, you know, he lost his house in the Palisades Fire. And this show is very much a reflection on that experience for him.

Starting point is 09:51:07 So today, having anything to do with that is my dream project. And tomorrow will be something else. But, um, honestly, the fact that I'm going to be directing my two friends and Martini is certainly my friend, but Christian is you know, uh, more

Starting point is 09:51:22 than that. Um, And Kevin Pollock, sorry, Smets. Yeah, this is, this is a pretty big deal for me right now. It's great. And I feel like my Lynn Miranda doc, right? Like I worked on that for half of my adult life in one way or another. And so the fact that that came to be as a film at some point was awesome. All right.

Starting point is 09:51:51 What's next? Haskell. Andrew, what else did you and Kevin? have been talk about regarding the script. Probably everything, right? Is there anything else in it? He said, I will have notes. As he should.

Starting point is 09:52:04 As he should. Yeah. I would love his notes. Yeah, 100%. But that was about as far. I was catching my breath. I know that it sounds like I'm being overly dramatic. But like him saying that to me made me feel so great, then made me feel so nervous.

Starting point is 09:52:23 And then made me feel so nervous. made me feel so confident. And, yeah, I don't know. I was just, yeah. Same. All right, next one. And it made me feel so great for you guys. Again, when he said, you know, that he liked the script, it was like, fuck yeah. Oh, my God.

Starting point is 09:52:41 Hell you. Marco Bellabroject. So excited to be part of this. Thank you. I'm so glad that you were able to back it, Marco. Thank you. It just gets better and better. Andrew, I love your work.

Starting point is 09:52:51 Marco, that is awesome. Thank you so much for that. Christian, I don't know how you have this immediate connection with your audience, with your community, and then still go back to your real world and, like, keep balanced, right? There's so much love. There's such an outpouring of, like, love and support on this channel and on your show and in your community, and it feels so great. And then, like, somebody flips you the bird at a red light, and it's like, how do you sort of balance those two things?

Starting point is 09:53:22 You know, strange enough. Sadie has a lot of love that she has to give to balance this out. Well, first of all, that's so true. Today, like I was talking about it where I went in Latin and like I was, you know, it was a pretty big day today. And I said, I had really heard from anybody. And I'm like, I'm like, does anybody even know that we're doing this today? And like, nobody said, good luck, do this.

Starting point is 09:53:43 Then I'm like, all right. So I'm driving today. And as I'm coming back from the gym, Sadie calls me. And she says, I just want you to know, first of all, good luck. and you've got this and she has this great like this the whole full conversation it really put me at ease to go into this whole thing today and she's like regardless just if you raise a hundred thousand dollars or one dollar what you've done already you should be proud of you're making a show you've done this you've taken this thing and I was like this is why I'm I married this one

Starting point is 09:54:12 she just is you know she she's she's good peeps so she keeps me and and the other thing I don't want to be I want to be able to distance it and like when I go home I'm kind of of like almost like a homebody at this point too right i go see like seeing like seeing my kids and i like doing stuff and you know it's funny you'd be surprised i there i have not there's way more road rage from people not just not i don't really get road rage but from people in l.a than strangely enough than you would assume in new york um i haven't yelled at or been yelled at by anybody on traffic since i've been home in two years it happened every other thursday in l.a yeah so uh anyway What's next?

Starting point is 09:54:56 Then, Exilema, has it sunk in yet? Do you have to act the opposite of Kevin Pollock and you're excited or scared? So yes, yes, and yes, right? So in both for both, I'm assuming it's both for me and Martini here. So I will say this without revealing too much. Andrew and I had a conversation two nights ago on the phone. And it was as if, and I've been doing stuff in general too, but as if Andrew lovingly grabbed me by my shirt and all like this.

Starting point is 09:55:26 And I immediately went, wake up. And I called him to tell him exactly what we talked about in night before. And I said, just letting you know that this is what I've done already. He said, good. Continue to do that. And I was already making plans and doing other things. But the idea of it, yeah, it's like the fact, this is the first thing I said to him is what he just said to you guys, is that he was nervous, excited.

Starting point is 09:55:50 It's like, yeah, you get, because it's like, it was always real, but it's, it's real now, you know what I mean? And like, you got Kevin fucking Pollock in front of you, and especially for me, because he's like my best friend and mentor in the show. I have not had a conversation with this gentleman yet. You know what I mean? So, but I will. And I will.

Starting point is 09:56:10 And so, yeah, I'm, I'm more excited than scared. Because I told you my main goal in this is I want to tell this story. I want the story to be told and who better to help tell this story than Kevin Pollock. So I'm excited. Martini, I don't know how you feel about it. I mean, I just feel like also, well, he elevates everything. And I think when it's kind of like when you play with someone, a game that's with someone's better, you learn from them. It raises your game, right? So like, he's just going to raise the game of everyone. And you just learn so much from people like that.
