On the big thing today, we are going to be talking about, well, at least I saw Jungle Cruz, so I'll talk about that a little bit, do the review on the Jungle Cruise, as you've seen the title.
Starting point is 00:00:16 We're going to talk about my disappointment in Prince Street pizza in Los Angeles. That's something that we're going to have to get into a big conversation about. And the Wild Man's here. We've got to talk TV. Got to talk TV. It's the Wild Man. It's going to be a lot. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:00:31 I can't wait to catch up and see what the hell this new dad's been doing. Let's get into it. Come on. All right, everybody. Welcome back to the big thing. Today's big thing
Starting point is 00:00:48 is going to be about the jungle cruise. New movie with Rock. Emily Bluntz. That movie comes out tomorrow. Or whatever. Yeah, tomorrow. Friday. It's airs on Thursday.
Starting point is 00:01:01 I'm not going to bullshit until you're doing this live. You're not a moron. Unless you haven't gotten you. vaccine. Oh, I'm just kidding. Are we getting political this early in the morning? Ladies and gentlemen, enjoying this wonderful day with me is the one, the only. Wow,
Starting point is 00:01:15 man, Josh McCool-old. Hi, Christian. How you doing, buddy? It's been so long, dude. Great to see you. Well, it has been in a lot of different ways. And obviously, the first of that being, we talked about right before you started, you hadn't even been in here. You've been on SCN. The last time
Starting point is 00:01:31 I was here in here, you were like starting to put together we were going to the Rambo screening. That's right. Yeah. Smoked a little dooby. We did. Got out there and watched it.
Starting point is 00:01:41 And then who knew, we like enjoyed the show and there was like, it's a racist movie. I'm like, yeah, I didn't know that. I did not. I did not see it as a racist movie.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Yeah, I don't. I mean, it's, you know, I thoroughly enjoy the movie. We've watched a movie recently. He blows up everything.
Starting point is 00:01:54 He does what he does in every movie. It's awesome. It's awesome. So much so. Remember, Stallone featured our clip on, on his Instagram. Yeah, he loved us talking about it. Of course.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Because we were in that theater losing our frigging mind. Going to Disney. It was awesome. It was, I mean, it's just. And we walked out and there were so many of those stupid movie critics that are like, I mean, the derivation of the process for this movie. I'm like, shut out. It's Rambo. It's Rambo.
Starting point is 00:02:19 He's a murderer maniac, awesome dude. Let's go. Like, blow more shit. They're talking about doing another one. Good. I can't wait. Do more. I want him to be 95 years old.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Me too. Not move anywhere. Because in the fourth Rambo, it was the most real. out of all of it because he got so tired as an old man at one point, If I ever set! But then he's, but he's like, fuck this.
Starting point is 00:02:40 I'm not running around. He runs for like one scene in the, in the jungle. Yeah, he just done the, uh, that's exactly what I want Rambo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:49 And even in the last one. Eyes go dark. It blows up everything. Yeah, and he's running through like his own nom tunnel that he built. I know. I mean, it's nutty stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:57 It's awesome. It's great. I mean, keep making Rocky in Creed movies. Keep making Rambo movies. Yeah. You know, like Stallone,
Starting point is 00:03:03 the best part about, alone is that he knows who he is. Absolutely. But that's the other thing is that there's, there are movies for everyone. That's, the stupidest thing that I, you still,
Starting point is 00:03:13 that gets tweeted out that I don't understand is when people like, people say, oh, they don't make new material anymore. Do you not have streaming services? Yeah. That's all you get is new stuff. It's like Netflix,
Starting point is 00:03:23 Amazon Prime. That's all you get. Yeah. And it's, I mean, the streaming services now, like people are sleeping on a ton of Apple TV stuff. You're sleeping on Peacock stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Yeah. They're sleeping on. I mean, Netflix, Amazon Prime aside, like Paramount Plus is coming out with stuff. Paramount Plus is better. Although the reason I signed up for Paramount Plus was that. Yellowstone. No, I had seen that. I don't know how I, I think it was just a Paramount app that I was able to see it at one point.
Starting point is 00:03:52 But I did like that show. But no, it was that silly Infinite movie with Mark Wahlberg and who else? Oh, we watched that. It was pretty good. Okay. was terrible. It was fine. The premise of it was good, and then it just, it just falls off a cliff.
Starting point is 00:04:09 I mean, the trailer for the new Mark Wahlberg one where he's like, well, I think it's based on a true story. He's walking across the country to, like, end bullying. The trailer looked pretty good. But I feel like Mark Wahlberg movies like that. Be careful what you say, Josh. Just give a shooter. Just give a shooter again. Just give like nine shooters.
Starting point is 00:04:27 You just the same thing over and over? I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to hate on Mark Wahlberg because have you seen his backyard, his backyard. His backyard. No, so you have a good backyard? He built a golf course in his backyard. Of course. No, he's, I told you, and I told Ellis this,
Starting point is 00:04:38 Ellis still every time I talk about Mark Wahlberg, he was like the first celebrity I ever met. There was a place, I don't know if it existed when you moved here. It was called Garden of Eden. Do you ever hear about this? No. It was like a massive bar in Hollywood at the time. And I went with some friends, and he was there.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And I was, I'm talking a week into being in L.A. So, you know, you go from Florida State. You see Mark Wahlberg. You go, holy shit, I'm in Los Angeles. And he was talking to my group of friends. And I was, like, awkwardly to stand him. I'm not going to bother the guy. I'm just going to stand here like a dick.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And he goes, hey, man, come here. He's like, he saw me standing there. He goes, I'm Mark. I'm like, I know. And then we had a good conversation. He was a super nice guy. He went out of his way to say, Larry, the guy's just hanging out by himself. Nobody's talking to the motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Yeah. I was at a Bel Air Country Club. It was a while ago. And I was hitting golf balls on the range, waiting for my round of buddy. He's like, dad was in town members, whatever. And Walberg's on the range And I was just striped
Starting point is 00:05:34 Like dude I was striping it on the range And he's watching me a little bit And he's lefty So he was looking at me And I was looking at him And he looks at me He's like what's your handicap And I was like nah
Starting point is 00:05:46 I'm an 80s like nah Thought you'd be better That's good So Because he's like Short game I was like Yeah fucking short game
Starting point is 00:05:53 It's funny To show you like I've always wanted to get into golf I've talked to Finstock and Riley Who've been going out On the course A lot of time
Starting point is 00:06:00 To get on it Just to show you I'm waiting until they get a little bit better. A little better. Because our first round was... You just beat the ass out of them? Well, it was not about me beating them.
Starting point is 00:06:08 It's about... Taking time. Correct. Yeah, yeah. What's striping me? Because I have no idea. Like, purring the ball, like really hitting it well. That's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:06:16 So that's why he was impressed at first. It's supposed to go on... You're really not doing this well, man. Yeah. When you stripe a golf ball, it has a certain sound. Yeah. And if you play golf... When you hit a home run.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Correct. Yeah. Yeah. It's that, you know. You're in Yankee Stadium. You hear Aaron Judge. You can hear... Right. You know, you know, you can close your eyes and go, well, that's gone.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Correct. Right, I got it. All right, other things, as I mentioned before, I was able to check out Jungle Cruise. Okay, so the trailer, listen, I've only been at Disneyland. Yeah, yeah. I'm waiting until Rosie's of age, and she gets really excited. Another day I walk in, it's like 5.30 in the afternoon. Moana is blasting, and Amanda is just sitting there with the baby, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:06:53 I guess we're getting this princess stuff. Like, she's introducing that princess stuff early because Amanda loves it. Do you remember? I know you remember this. Of course I do. You remember this when I told you. I'm never getting married. I'm never having kids.
Starting point is 00:07:06 I'm like, yeah. Yeah, we had that conversation. I will tell you, every time we like, you know, I look at the baby or somebody's like, remember when you said that? The first person that comes to my brain is you. Yeah. Every time. Every time.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Because I remember the conversation. All right. All right. But I tell you that because I'm about to tell you something. You will start singing these songs. Yeah. As you used to say, I don't have to see these silly movies. You will want to start to see these movies because not for you,
Starting point is 00:07:35 but the enjoyment of your little girl's face when she starts smiling and laughing, you're just going to want to see it because my three and a half year old, almost four now, which is crazy. She's almost four. She's before in September. Oh, my God. So she's now watching ballet for children. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:07:52 And so yesterday, she's got on the full tutu going back and forth with this shit on a hippie toes. Meanwhile, the nine-year-old is like blasting through the wall like the Kool-Aid person, you know, the Kool-Aid jar. And just throwing baseballs up. Yeah, come on. I always say it. And I, well, the nine-year-old is a dog. Yeah. And the three-and-a-half-year-old is a cat. Okay. Because the dog is always like, Hey, tell me out. What are you? What are you? What's going on? Oh, you know, some food. You got some food. Oh, yeah, sure. I'll eat that. Whatever the fuck. What do you got? The cat.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Yeah, I'll play with you. It's like, right now. No. The dog just wants the attention. Like whatever, what are we doing? What are we doing, guys? What are we doing?
Starting point is 00:08:33 And yeah, right. The cat's like, on the house. You want to pet me? Later. Later. Yeah. Rosie's super happy.
Starting point is 00:08:43 She's like the happiest, smileiest little baby. You know, she's like fine, but it's old. So she just like, now she just rolls over continuously. Personality's starting to come up.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Yeah. It's super fun. It's cool. You know, today she was, she was sitting in her little like bumbo chair, you know, little bumbo chairs on the counter.
Starting point is 00:08:58 And she just look at me going, shit in her brains on. Yeah. And Amanda's like, we just started on solid foods like two weeks ago. And so she's like, now she's like an adult. And we're like, you know that feeling. Like, oh, good, oh, good. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Yeah, I've got video of my youngest doing it because I guarantee you, I'm going to play it at the wedding. No doubt. Got a special video for all it for you guys. And the other thing that's fun to do, especially when they're a little older, she starts getting an attitude with you because you really can't rep her man, two or three-year-old. Address them like an asshole.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah. Just dress them like a real asshole and take pictures of it. You know, I've done that so many times where my three-year-old just looked at, or two and a half two at the time. And she's hiked up, pants, things that don't match, looks like an absolute, like, asshole. Like, the poor thing, like, when you know when European people come over, they don't know the culture in New York. And they're like, oh, look the guy in the bus. Yeah. And then he's like, this is what I wear in Italy, right?
Starting point is 00:09:51 Make her feel like that. That's what you got to do. Well, you know, I mean, Danish Christian Haloff, he was very popular on the buses. He was. You know. How have you been, by the way? Well, so here's this thing. Over in Denmark, you know, the pop, well, like, you know, we had the COVID.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Yeah, we used to, but you still do. But we, you know, we saw in, in Denmark, we were like, forget about it. Yeah. We don't wear the masks. Right. We just don't let anybody in. Not, not, it's like a big gate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:17 It's the Bromsterman Bridge, right? Stein Bromson. Steinbron. Excuse me, excuse me. How could I? And so, the first concerts that I saw after, like, you know, the lift of the quarantine. Right. was Stein Bramson.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Oh, who was. Yeah, she was singing her, well, she sang her first three classics. Zip Blip. Well, of course. That was one of the best. You have to hit Zip Lip. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:36 And then, of course, you have Fluggen Ha. Flug and Ha was one of my all-time favorite. Because that was the second album, you know, I remember. First time I cried, I think it was in a Chevy. When she hits those high notes like Celine Dion. It's crazy. You know. It shatters your soul.
Starting point is 00:10:48 You're correct. And then you have River, River. That was a good one. Well, I never got on board with that one because I didn't like the music video. Well, yeah. The White Horse. She has a lot of trouble with the English words So like is music is good
Starting point is 00:11:00 But like these lyrics are kind of weird Which is ironic considering that you learned English from her music I know That's how life happens You know It's good to hear from you It's good to see you Good good
Starting point is 00:11:09 So the uh anyway But you were going into jungle cruises Yeah Well so we went to Disneyland a few years back And um We went on that jungle cruise ride And everybody talks about jungle cruise Like it's the best ride
Starting point is 00:11:20 It's so much fun It was fine I guess And so when they came out with this movie I was like So the Rock is Brendan Fraser in The Mummy. Okay. Because I love the Mummy movies. Mummy, Mummy returns, amazing.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I don't know. The Tom Cruise one, besides that clip we always play it, of him going. Right, right, right, right. But that being said, I love anything The Rock does. And Emily Bunt is a knock it out of the park every time. So listen, I'm sure we'll wait until it's on Disney Plus. You'll like it. Yeah, you'll like it.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Because, so the director is John McClett, Sarah, who did, well, the first thing he ever did, I think it was like, House of Wax, but he did Orphan, he's done a bunch of movies that I wouldn't see. Right, but he's doing Shazam. And he did, he did a lot of the Liam Nisa movies. I think he did Unknown. Oh, okay. I didn't mind. I know.
Starting point is 00:12:08 So, and when, I met him through Eric Olson when I was working in Silver. Like that's where, and I, he's a really good director. He's really, and you can tell how much fun he had with this. The Brennan Fraser thing is fair to, to look at in the trailer. From the trailer. But he's, he's more, he's
Starting point is 00:12:23 way more, the rock is way more of a douche. Like, like, he's just a hardened, like, he's got, he's almost got like a Han Solo thing about him where he's, he is not there to, he lies. Well, you know what I realize? You're going to absolutely lose your mind over this movie because the whole beginning scene is him in a boat and he's just telling one-liners to the people on the boat. And then at one point he says to, he goes, hey, you know, I dated a girl who was, who was cross-eyed, but we, uh, we broke up because we never could see eye to eye. He's like throwing Jay London jokes at him. And he keeps, and he's doing Fraser Smith out there. Have you ever seen Jay London?
Starting point is 00:13:04 No. Oh, dude, he had this long, like, just crazy caveman here. And he'd be like, you know what burns me? Matches. And it's just like, that's fine. We'll just sit in here and listen to the air conditioner. There was this one guy at an open mic. And he probably was stole from France.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Razor, Jay London, all those guys. But he's like, what's the deal with dry cleaning? And you dry clean your clothes? Aren't you supposed to wash it with water? Ha ha! And he was like, if you can sell it with that kind of attitude. Water. I mean, ha.
Starting point is 00:13:38 That was one of those laugh factory open mics where it was like me, a girl, seven homeless people, and that guy. You know those laugh factory open mics. I used to watch Jay London religiously when he would come in and he would say, yeah, He said, I work at Bedbath and Beyond. I work in the Beyond section. Some of these lines, dude, you would lose. I got to play.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I got to read you some of these. He was on last comic standing. Was he? Yeah, I forget what season he was. But I'm going to reach you some of Jay London's lines, and you'll fall in love. We were, the whole family, I was back in Pittsburgh for 4th of July, and we were at, like, this museum. And, you know, they had illusions, like optical illusions. And I just go, it's an illusion.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Fuck you. And my brother was like, Jesus, man, the kids are around. I was like, oh, yeah, my bad, my bad, my bad, my bad. I'm fooling you, you don't like it. So it all started when my dog received free rollover minutes. Thank you. I went on a date with a weather girl. She talked up a storm.
Starting point is 00:14:41 After all these years, I had the privilege of naming my private part because we all have nicknames. So I named my private part pride. It's not much, but at least I have my pride. That's fine. I'll just listen to the air conditioner. Keep going. People read me, but they don't subscribe. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Thank you. I saw a stationary storm move. I saw a station. Thank you. Well, I'd like to leave you with a joke. Thank you. It was a year ago. It was a year ago today.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Thank you. He's like the lead up to Mitch Hedberg, Mitch Hedberg would give you, yeah, the gold. He gave you solid silver. Jay was, and he was something else, man. He was like he would show up to the comedy store and like overalls long black hair, long island guy. He used to box at like, you could tell boxer's nose.
Starting point is 00:15:32 And he, could you give me a ride? I don't have any money. Thank you. And it was just, he's just. That's great. But, yeah, sorry, jumping back to Jungle Cruise. It's got a really good adventure feel to it. And Emily Blunt, they play it.
Starting point is 00:15:48 They play it towards, because she's, she's, she's, like, pretty much a straight girl. She's badass, you know, she's been, and she's done it, um, whether it was looper or, I mean, look at the quiet place two, quite place one. I didn't see two yet. I only seen one, but she was great. It's good. I think you dig, I don't think you'd be that scared of quiet, either one, because it's more, it's more like a walking dead.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah. And it is like, a scary, like, because Amanda, we love the first one. I think we're just, where is it? Is it on Paramount? It's on Paramount. Yeah. So, well, yeah, we can get that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:15 So she's really good in it. And she's got, it's, it's definitely for families, but he has that, like, Hans Solo edge. And she's, she's like the adventurer who winds up. What's, what's Todd's name in Breaking Bad? Todd. You mean Aaron Paul? No, Todd. Oh, oh, Jesse Plemons.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Yes. So Jesse Plemons is the bad guy. And he's kind of, he's, he's like if Danish Christian Harloff is a flirt and flounce out of kid. And he's just, and he's, and he is this guy where he's just, he's hunting her down. And there's like this mystical legend that happened in the jungle. Yeah. But the relationship... So it's got like an Indiana Jones.
Starting point is 00:16:52 100%. Yeah. Meets Mummy. I mean, it's got a mummy thing for sure. But it's got... I liked... I never was a big mummy fan, though.
Starting point is 00:16:59 I never really dug... Yeah, I dug those movies. You did? Yeah. See, a lot of people did. I never... Because I think that it was... And Brenner Fraser I loved in school ties and all the stuff he did.
Starting point is 00:17:10 George of the Jungle when he made every woman cream their pants and one fell sweet. He was ripped. He was ripped. He was ripped. He was ripped. But he looked like one of those divers. Have you seen any of the divers in the Olympics? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:17:19 It's one of the main reasons. I tell people I don't watch it because it's just been, it's just too hard. I don't want to see what I. It's 140 abs in one person. Ever. It's insanity. It's just like, that's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Yeah. Have you been watching a lot of the Olympics? I love the Olympics. Yes. I love the Olympics too normally, but I don't know what it is. I just can't get into it this year. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I mean, like, you know, growing up as a swimmer. So it's like the only time I get to see my sport on TV. Yeah. And I still like follow American swimming very closely. So I like know times and people and who's good and who isn't. And, you know, crazy enough, one of the kids from my high school, like when I was going to high school, my high school had a five lane aluminum pool. It was an aluminum pool. Like when you hit it, you were like, wah, wah, wah, wah, right?
Starting point is 00:18:01 And they just finished this brand new pool, like 50 meter inside pool with a thing in the middle to make it 25 yards, diving well, like all the stuff at my high school. because we had two kids make Olympic trials and make the finals Olympic trials and one kid came in third when he missed Olympics by one place. So like, I've seen all these younger American kids because a lot of the kids I grew up swimming with,
Starting point is 00:18:21 like Brendan Hanson was from the east side of Pennsylvania. He was like, he won gold in the 102-meter breast. And so like a lot of guys that I grew up swimming national stuff with ended up going to the Olympics. I knew these guys and knew these names. Now it's like this next generation of swimmers, but still isn't like I love watching. And then next week is all the track and field,
Starting point is 00:18:38 which we dominate in. And so it's so fun. watch. Yeah, I just get, I just get so nervous now about everything and I'm just like, uh, put,
Starting point is 00:18:45 you know, just don't get sick when you're running. Everybody's getting sick. Like everybody. I, a phone call from a friend fully vaccinated. Yep. Caught it.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah. And it's like, every, it's just, now we're in this thing of like, we're going to have to get a third shot. Yeah. And when I say that,
Starting point is 00:19:01 by the way, I also want people know, because I've been talking about, I, you know, you know me for a long time. I never talk politics. I've talked about any of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:06 But this isn't political, right? This is science. This is common sense. Yes. Don't be stupid. And for people that were saying to me like, hey, you know, well, you, your friend caught it and was vaccinated. So what does that mean?
Starting point is 00:19:18 It means that he doesn't die. They didn't go to the hospital. Yes. That's what it means. Correct. Yeah, it means they didn't go to the hospital. And not feeling well, but. It means we've taken this disease and turned it into a mild flu.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah, because the disease wants to jump. Correct. I got some guy commenting on this show recently because I was talking about it. And he was like, look, man, I'm under 55. I'm not at risk. I'm like, yes, you are, dude. Yes, you are. And last night I was watching one of the doctors, and he was saying,
Starting point is 00:19:46 look, this is the thing, he's a doctor in Vegas and starting to break out more because of the tourist and everything to do. And he's like, this thing wants to hop from person to person. Everybody's at risk. And basically what is going to happen, whether it is a severe thing where you come to see me at the ICU or you get lucky and it just messaged you up for like a week or two, if you're not vaccinated, chances are you're going to. I got it. Yeah. Like that was when he said that, I was like, wow, how people don't hear that.
Starting point is 00:20:11 And how these idiots that are in the hospital and say, you know, a vaccine could have saved your life, I don't fucking care. I don't care. Now that I got it, they say that, uh, I don't, I don't need. I'm immune against them. Yeah, I'm good. That's not. That's not. That's not. That's actually a report that came out today. Say that's not. I have a friend to get it three times, three separate times. That's what I mean. It's like, it's, uh, my cousin who is a doctor at UCLA Harbor in the emergency medical unit. It was like, listen, don't listen to podcasts. Right. Listen to science.
Starting point is 00:20:41 And doctors. Yes. Yes. And they're all telling you the exact same thing. There isn't one scientist doctor out there unless you're some like hippie-dippy George Carlin guy in the middle of the desert who's like, you should do peyote instead of getting the vaccine. They all say the same thing. Get the effing vaccine. I know. Anyway, it's true. I think everybody feels the same way. And we, you know, we're doing a we're doing a taping.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah. From the Shmodeon, the canteen, the canteen, is coming in a county canteen, on the first, and on the 14th. New York now, by the way, for everybody,
Starting point is 00:21:12 we just put the tickets on sale. Yesterday, we're almost sold out already, and that's going to be October 9th in Brooklyn. Nice. So that, and then Spectacular is on,
Starting point is 00:21:22 spectacular is December 4th. August 4th. No, spectacular is December 4th. And that's going to be, and so all the reason I bring that up is because all of that, you've got to be vaccinated for.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Yeah, of course. Mandate. But this is, something for you guys, as you see, July 31st that's coming up this weekend. It is free for everybody. It is the collision. And as I told you, many times before, we're very excited that we get to partner up with Captain Morgan. Nice. It is the original spice from... You love Captain Morgan. I absolutely do. And in just a couple of days, July 31st, everybody, get ready for Kevin Smith versus Marisol McKeay, Dimelanta versus Kelly, Saul versus Moses, and Corruption versus Shazam for the titles.
Starting point is 00:22:01 And it's going to be July 31st, 12 p.m. No matter how you choose to celebrate it. and stream the Shmowdown on Saturday. Captain Morgan is best enjoyed responsibly. That is the captain's orders. Captain Morgan, the original spiced rum, that Captain Morgan, USA. Don't check it out. Captain Morgan and Sprite got me through half a college.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I'm sure. It's really... Then I found Jack Daniels. I mean, listen, it's the only rum. I'll drink. I don't think I've ever had like another rum or I've been like, why didn't I just get Captain Morgan? Do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:22:30 I felt the same. It's like, absolutely. It's delicious. It's delicious. Yes. So yeah, do you have Disney? You obviously have Disney Plus, of course. Not you're gonna, you're gonna get it.
Starting point is 00:22:40 So what I would suggest, if you guys are feeling like a nice action movie? Yeah, John Lucas? Yeah, it's fun. I think you will love it, especially when he starts cracking those jokes, I thought of you immediately. And he doesn't stop. There's one part where he keeps telling this joke to all the, they introduce him in the top, and he's just cracking the one-liners, and they're all like, oh, they're just holding, like, God, he's terrible.
Starting point is 00:23:00 He knows they're terrible, and he's just peppering them with it. and then there's a girl who looks at her mother, she goes, make him stop. And he goes, I will not stop. And don't talk on my boat. And she goes, close your mouth. His delivery, he's got that rock, like, wrestling delivery in this one that it's fun, man.
Starting point is 00:23:16 I enjoyed it. I liked it a lot. I liked it more than I should have. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. The jungle cruise. Who cares? Because I had never even heard of the ride,
Starting point is 00:23:25 to be honest. I never even paid attention to it. Well, everybody, I mean, oh, did you go on the jungle cruise? Jungle Cruise? I'm figuring out, I'm like, we're in there in like a snout of, snake's going to come in the boat.
Starting point is 00:23:34 It's just like... It's like... It's like a little crappy boat ride. It's like what they do at Jaws at Universal. Correct. Something like that. Same thing. So I never really cared or never...
Starting point is 00:23:46 I didn't even know. I knew Pirates of Caribbean. I knew small world... When did we get in a small world movie, by the way? Eventually, they made every ride at this point. You got to make it with... You make it with small people running around. I mean, you got Thunder Mountain.
Starting point is 00:24:00 You got the Mexican restaurant next door. You got to make a movie out of that place. because that's the best Mexican food, at least in Irvine. It's good. It's really good. You got Small World. Small World Ride is just them trying to get in unison. Just like a chorus.
Starting point is 00:24:14 It's also, it's, it, what Small World is now, if you look at the world today, small world is bullshit. Yes. Everyone's happy. Everyone's working together. No one's hacking anybody's gas. It's like, if they did Small World now, it'd be like one country on fire. With a bunch of non-mast, a bunch of non-mass,
Starting point is 00:24:32 Like little dolls and the other, all the other ones are piled up. One's got a big Fox News banner in the back. The other one's got a, you know, a CNN and they're like, They're blaming Antifa, the other ones, yeah. No, we didn't see. The people that stormed the Capitol were actually far left mania. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:48 All right. It's just like, you see, I would, for one day, they should redesign all those dolls. Yeah. And just to like, and just, but it's only for like 21 and up. That's a prank. It's a big prank. And they're doing, like, there's, there's one doll just getting arrested. Like, you know.
Starting point is 00:25:02 And it's, whether it's conspiracy or so you did something really bad. Some Taliban, like stoning a child. Like, Jesus, it's got dark. But let's just show what the world. Let's show, you want to show small world? You want to show what the world is? Who it is? Everybody here is really fucked.
Starting point is 00:25:17 And I can tell you, I don't give a shit. Because it's all bullshit. And the world isn't real. So please go home. Everything is bloody. It's like we try so hard to try and be level-headed. And then somebody says something to you and you just want to shake them. I know.
Starting point is 00:25:43 My uncle the other night came over and he's asked me how streaming works. He's older. Right. He's like in his mid-70s. And I was like, well, you know, you just got a smart TV. Smart TV program. He's like, oh, no, no, smart TVs are watching you. I was like, all right, I'm just going to end this one.
Starting point is 00:25:56 I don't know how to really respond to that one. I can't tell you some of the stuff that I said. I just can't. Like I was talking about it last week with social media. dude I promote stuff I run I jump off I've sent hey tickets are on sale I'm out out the door like wait are you coming on there you're going to be on the 21st show uh in august here and it's because like right down the street oh it's it right down the street it's a lot easier a mile away yeah it's just like that's that's I mean I had to I'm going to be on we're doing this can'tina shoot

I'm going to have a mask on on stage. Yeah. Like, because it's like a close, it's really closed and all that stuff. This show's outside. Oh, is it outside? It's outside.
Starting point is 00:26:43 It's outside. It's, uh, it's like, you know where Fantasy Island is over there in West L.A.? Like, you know where San Francisco Saloon is where you come off like Sautel and Olympic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, it's, it's right down the street. Um, I mean, I don't even think you're, you're under 10 minutes away from here. I don't want to give away your location. But, and Sadie can come.

It's my wife right now. She ain't going anywhere. She ain't going anywhere. I mean, I'm going to have to barrel out the window at 7 o'clock at night.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Oh, good Lord. And just tell her I'm going back here to watch a movie for two hours. Yeah. And just, uh, but, yeah. I mean, that's the other thing we got to worry about now is like, this Delta variant, like, I'm going to have to reach out to this place in a week and be like, is this show still on? Right.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Well, that's why, that's why we're, everyone needs to be vaccinated on Sunday. I'm going back. I'm going to go get another shot, like, soon. You got, you're going with the booster again? Yeah, Pfizer. Yeah, Pfizer. You can do that. I want to go to places where they are firing the vaccine through like a spritzer in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Like, everywhere I go, I want to get the vaccine. If that's what's going to keep me safe, put it up everything. I saw a funny tweet from. Devin Sawa. You remember when we talked to him. And he said, he goes, this stuff will kill you, puts down his mountain dew pizza and
Starting point is 00:28:12 takes a big chomp of like whatever it was chocolate or whatever. Everything. And it's just, yeah, it's, I saw the tweet that was like. Smok's a cigarette is what he said. I saw the tweet that was like, you think Pfizer wants to kill you? They want to keep you long enough to use Viagra, you idiots. Frizer's trying to keep you alive as long as fucking possible. As long as possible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:31 That guy's rolling around. in cash. Oh my God. I saw him last night. It looked like he just sprung off a bag of cash, you know, and said, hold on, hold my gold. Yeah. And then he's doing like an interview. You know how much we're paying for a vaccine per vaccine? The government is paying for $0. 1950.
Starting point is 00:28:48 $0.50 per vaccine. Wow. I'm telling you, dude, that guy is, he's rolling around in catch. It's Scrooge McDuck. Yeah. Because we're going around. This disease isn't going anywhere. This virus isn't going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:28:58 We're just going to have to keep getting vaccinated year like a flu shot. It's a flu shot. because it's not going anywhere. So guess what, Pfizer, welcome to the Thunderdome. You just bought Denmark. I'm a Moderna myself. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:10 But, uh, Modera's going to do a booster shot too. I feel fine. Yeah. I feel good. I feel good. Who's this now? Who's this?
Starting point is 00:29:17 Is this somebody that can pick up? Let me see. Hello? You're a Google. Ah. Google business. You like Mark Riley, who still answers his phone. I only do it on the air.
Starting point is 00:29:31 He did. He's still so funny. Hello? No. No. No. He gets mad. You're going to mess with them.
Starting point is 00:29:36 The other day we had someone call and I forget what it was. And I was like, oh. And the guy's like, yeah, we want to see if you want to go. What? Are you okay, sir? What? Can you, I was a, I was a, it's basically what I was doing.
Starting point is 00:29:51 I just kind of go back and forth. But, you know, it reminds me, I don't know why I just, I always have pizza on the brain. But that's why I mentioned up top. Yeah. Did you try Peter? I haven't, because you told me. Damn it bummed me out, dude. Because Prince Street Pizza is one of my, well,
Starting point is 00:30:05 I've introduced you. You did. And I remember my ex-girlfriend, because she worked there. And we always were going to go by. And then you kept mentioning, I was like, I might as well go. It's just fantastic. Yeah, it's out of this world. It's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:30:18 It's really, really good. Did you get the thick stuff, too? Or do you do that? No, it's more of the regular traditional slice. And so, because pizza wagon in Brooklyn is, it's the king out here right now. 100%. But I was like, well, Prince Street's going to kick it out of the water. And it certainly did not.
Starting point is 00:30:32 No. It was really depressing. You know, Mulberry and Prince Street, at least, I mean, can compete in the same sentence. You Mulberry back in New York. No, no, the one out here. You don't like the one out here? It's too thin. It's like paper.
Starting point is 00:30:46 For me, it's Joe's and... Pizza wagon. But that's where I... That's why I brought pizza. Did you see this fight that happened in Brooklyn? No. Oh, I got to. I just talked about it today, but I got to show it to you.
Starting point is 00:30:57 It's so old-school clutter a lot. Dude, this fight is so much... Like, I have to play it again. I brought it up to everybody yesterday. Let's see, pizza fight in Brooklyn. So much so, dude, I called the store afterwards. It was Joe's in Brooklyn. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:13 And I'll look at... Which, where in Brooklyn? Do you know where this one is? Yeah, I'll tell you in a second. But this is the... So for those people that didn't listen the other day, this is a brawl that broke out at a Joe's in Brooklyn, and I watched it.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I'm not going to tell McCooka anything about it. I'm just going to say, then we'll analyze the fight like we always do, but people were going on the YouTube video of it and they were commenting that they found it from us. So if you want to do that again, that's great. I love a good pizza brawl. I think this might be the best.
Starting point is 00:31:45 No, no, no, I don't want to see it from me. You've got to see the actual video. Okay. Were you asking me? Are you a fan of like the individual Neapulton, like restaurant style pizzas? Yeah, for sure. You know, because like DeSano over in East L.A. is pretty good. I mean, I love it.
Starting point is 00:32:02 It's probably my favorite Neapol and South. Then there's this new place, La Mara. Okay. On third near your old place over on Edinburgh, that near over there. And then Osteria Labuka is pretty good. They got two locations, one in like near Paramount, and they have a new one over in the valley. Right. I like those types of pizza.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Yeah. Yeah. It's different. But if we're talking by the sites, there's only a few out here that can do it. Joe's in Santa Monica. Joe's in Santa Monica Pizza wagon in Brooklyn's the best I can do mulberries
Starting point is 00:32:33 Vitos is okay Vitos is not bad I got introduced to Vitos during pandemic and I was actually pretty pleased by Yeah it's not bad And then same thing though has With mulberry you can eat 70 I know
Starting point is 00:32:44 And then Pizza wagon is I will say this It's it's really good The second day too So if you get a pie And then you heat up like a pepperoni pie The next day
Starting point is 00:32:54 Dude nice and crispy It stays It's a cheese. It's good. It's really, it's, it's good. I have to, I can't wait to get it. I'm five minutes now from pizza wagon. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:33:04 So do you go often? Often. Yeah, see. I put on some bad weight pretty quick. Probably a reason why I lost 13 pounds because I'm not anywhere near. We're starting this weight challenge next week. I just putting, I'm looking for this fight and I put pizza wagon. You started a weight challenge?
Starting point is 00:33:17 Me, Ken, and Ikeke Shively, our technical engineer over at the Good People Association. We're starting August 4th and going all the way until October, like 27th, like three. months of weight loss. Wow. Because, you know, Ken loves, you know, Ken talks about his weight all the time. I talk about my weight all the time. And so now we're, like, trying to keep each other honest with it. And so, and Amanda, you know, what's the goal?
Starting point is 00:33:39 So what does somebody win? Does that mean winning anything? Steak dinner, mastros. Okay. Get the winner. And someone will wind up gaining five pounds back from the dinner. So I can't count on that. And Amanda's like, you know, post-baby, five months, post-baby, she's getting back into
Starting point is 00:33:52 working out. So, you know, you can get the fitness back going. So my goal is 30. pounds. I'll tell you what? You want to lose some weight? I'm not fucking with you. I'm telling you the truth.
Starting point is 00:34:03 It's fucking Oculus? Yeah. Dude? So what I've been doing... Beat Sabre? Better than Beat Sabre. But it's similar. So there's a program called Supernatural.
Starting point is 00:34:13 And it's not horror. It's, it's, you legit have a, um, a trainer that you see physical the way you see me. And, but they have like, Beat Saber doesn't have like license music a lot of it. Right. This has like full license. some music 80s, like a lot of stuff. And you're,
Starting point is 00:34:29 you have to go into the motion of this stuff. And they, and like the way that you're moving. And you, you have like a monitor. You pump in what you want to lose. And my goal was like 250, 300,
Starting point is 00:34:39 300, calories. I lose, like 300 to 400 calories on this fucking thing every day. 45 minutes. How's that thing smelling? Uh, I don't,
Starting point is 00:34:46 I don't, I was never big. I mean, I sweat, but not enough to where it's like you shake. You got like two headbands on. Yeah. Sweat through them both.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Yeah, see. But you should, you should try the thing. It's, it's, great. Music's awesome. It's inspiring as hell. They'll tell you like, yeah, you got, you're going a great day today. I'm like, you have no idea what I'm going through. But I said, believe it, though. The Peloton, we got the Peloton right at the beginning of the pandemic. And Amanda rode that thing up
Starting point is 00:35:12 until like two days before she gave birth. Yeah. And she got back on it slowly. She's, you know, back on it, but she's been going to some trainers, whatever. I got on that Peloton. And I do like maybe 20 minutes a day, like 20 minutes in one day, like three times a week. Okay. I don't want to do more than 20 minutes. I don't like riding the bike. When these females that teach these classes are strikingly attractive. To the point where Amanda comes in and every time she's like, why don't you work out with Cody Rigsby? I'm like, I didn't get in it for the dudes. Okay?
Starting point is 00:35:37 I got in it for the girls. I'm just telling you that straight up. It's very honest. Very honest. I was like Kendall Tool is she's it. Everybody's got their Peloton girl. Dude, you want to have fun working out. That's the thing too, right?
Starting point is 00:35:50 You want to have fun working out. Yes. So whether you're looking at the ladies or you want to have fun and this is. is fun. Yeah. And my friend Scott Herman back in Florida State where I feel like you would have gotten along with it really well. My buddy, my other buddy, Scott who lives like I'm going to the workout.
Starting point is 00:36:05 You want to come with me? And Scott Herman goes, let me ask you a question. Why am I going to lift heavy things for fun? Yeah. It's like, and it's like, it's like, well that. But then it catches up to you. It catches up. Life catches up so quick.
Starting point is 00:36:16 That's why, dude, you have to, you be so surprised. I had Kate Mulligan in here going. She's like, oh my gosh. And it makes you dance and it's all, dancing and all that shit. The other day we were doing Beat Sabre because I made it my goal with this Oculus I want to get good at Beat Sabre. It's hard, but it's super fun.
Starting point is 00:36:30 I should show you this before you leave today. Sweating through the Oculus, sweating through myself. Dude, anything on that Oculus, I'm into it. You have one? Yeah, we got one at the office.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Yeah. So do download. I mean, so you can do a demo of Supernatural. Okay. But it's like it is, it is per, it's a fee per month.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Yeah. Because it's like a Pelotan. But you're having a trainer. You have a trainer. and then you, and because... It's like the mirror. Yeah, and the license music that they have, they gotta pay for, but the music is fantastic.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Dude, this one trainer had like, naughty by nature, Buster Rhymes. It was like all old school shit. And then, like, they'll talk to you. They're like critics, too. He's like, they were playing... So he can see you? He can't really see me.
Starting point is 00:37:12 He's talking about critics. I'm talking about critics of like the music. Oh, oh, okay. The one guy, he's playing all this old school stuff. And, well, in the club comes in him of 50 cent. And he goes, do you ever think 50 was going to get his business? because he did, I didn't. Man, this guy's really, he's letting it loose.
Starting point is 00:37:28 There's a girl in Peloton who does a yacht rock playlist. Oh, yeah. So you know what to look for. So you should check this out. All right. So this is that fight. Okay. Now, it starts, the fight starts right away.
Starting point is 00:37:40 So these two characters over here, whatever they're yelling about. Like, you see them, they're already, the three on the side here are already all lined up. Sure. So. This guy's going behind the counter. This guy is. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:51 So, this is right here. you and I have been in enough pizza places at two in the morning, whatever, this is around two in the morning, by the way. Oh, God, okay. Shorts. But a lot of times, this, where they are, okay, you're going to scream at me, you're going to yell at me, that's fine. Can't get past.
Starting point is 00:38:06 If you cross here, you're now in my territory. You're, you've now, it's basically you've walked into my house and I can do whatever I want. This, you have, you have created a scene of aggression. Right. Now watch, are you ready? Yeah. Here we go. It's over for them.
Starting point is 00:38:24 It's all the other people are going to take that guy into the code. Now watch this is the best part. Look, they're all going after him. Watch this one guy in the corner out. He's trying. You know, this guy. Look at this guy. It's really happening.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Oh, macking the guy with the wood of him. Now, do you know you're in New York? Listen to the customers. He's got the ladle. I'm still waiting for my pizza, by you're not getting it. I want my pizza. I pay for my pizza. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:39:09 He's got the legon. It's amazing. He's still slapping him with the fulcone. Still slapping him with the ladle, he says. So I called the pizzeria, and I called in their heads, and some guy picks up. He's like, ah, I'm new here, man. And I was like, yeah, but this, I just want to let you guys know because I did the research on it. And they, like, they didn't, the pizza guys weren't, weren't instigating it.
Starting point is 00:39:31 They were defending their turf. So I wanted to call and talk to them. And the guy's like, I just started here. You know, if you want to talk to somebody, you talk to the manager. I'm like, I'm going to just want to let you guys know what you guys did there. And he's like, I just started here. He didn't want to get anywhere near it. And I was like, that's how you answer it.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Yeah. Yep. Yep. Not going to work here anymore. Not going to get, no. It's like, don't talk about the fight. Let's talk about something something a little bit more topical
Starting point is 00:39:55 that's been going on I just watched season three of the Sopranos. Okay, yes. A little topic. Dude, we never even talked about it, but that trailer for the many saints in Newark. That's why I'm watching you. I'm three, I've, every night.
Starting point is 00:40:08 I'm season one episode eight on my rewatch right now. Okay. I just started. I'm watching at least one. I was blasting through about two a night. Okay. But I'm doing about one a night now. And like I'm on season three
Starting point is 00:40:19 and watching the Jackie Appreel stuff go down. Jackie Appreel was a very different character when he's first introduced in season two until the ultimate idiot that he becomes. I know. He's such a dope. So dumb. He's just so many stupid things.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Tony. Tony tries so hard. So hard. He has that conversation with him at the, at Satriali. He's sitting with him and he says to him, he goes, you know, it was different. I told you before, but now with my daughter, this is different.
Starting point is 00:40:49 He's like, no, Tony. Shut the fuck up. Yeah. It's different now. Stay in school, do your thing. Because there's only so many, so much what you can do. Yeah. Three is a really, really good season.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Here's the thing. Three is the last great season. I remember feeling that way. I haven't seen it in a long time. That's what I'm scared about. When was the last time you rewatched? It's been a minute. It's been a long time.
Starting point is 00:41:11 It's like 2007, right? That's what I'm hoping because you, like me, were like a die-hard fan. Yeah. Remember how long we had to wait in between seasons? Two years at one point. Yeah, it felt like forever. Yeah. With the rewatch, the seasons might get significantly better.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Yeah, you might be right, because then you feel like the continuity. I just felt like in the last few seasons, I've said it all along, too much Janus. I didn't care about Janice and Bobby Bacola. I just didn't. Cared about Bobby-ish, right? His podcast is amazing. Is it? It's all about Sopranos, right?
Starting point is 00:41:42 It's him and Michael Imperial. Oh, shit. Talking Sopranos. I know episode by episode. What's it called? It's called Talking Sopranos. Oh, that's it. It's it.
Starting point is 00:41:52 They have guests. They've had on Stephen Van Sant. They've had on June. Yeah. Did they have Carmella? Yeah, had Carmela. She was like the first guest. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Yeah, yeah. They had, oh, no, no. The first guest was the dude who played Jackie April Sr. Okay. Because he's only in what, like three episodes? Yeah. Do you know that he was, this is what you learned on all this shit. He was up for, it was him, Gandalfeaney, and Van Zant were the three finalists for Tony
Starting point is 00:42:16 Sorprano. No, shit. Yeah. Van Zant was going to be Tony Soprano. You know, Carmela, I got to... You know, I'm going to talk to Melfy. Yeah. I got a problem with my mother.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Yeah, not very nice. Your Van Zand is fucking good. That's just, that's just Sylvie. Yeah, oh, yeah. It's he's Silvio Dante. Yeah, because I don't know, Steve Manzan, I can't do as much as Sylvia. It's a shame that...
Starting point is 00:42:40 Because I love that actor that plays Jackie Pryl. It's great. He's fantastic. Yeah. And the actor that plays Richie April is perfectly cast. He's such a scumbag. like Al Pacino meets Henry Winkler. Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:50 He's like a mixture of the two of them. Because then he, Richie and don't Richie and Janice get together? Yeah, they get married. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to spoil anything for any movies and it. I guess we already did too much. Well, here's the worst part and I gave up on it was everybody keeps me, you got to try,
Starting point is 00:43:04 you got to try. Amanda just couldn't get in his Sopranos. And I'm fine with that. I think so. Did you, did you start her off on the pilot? Yes. Yeah. See, you can't get them on the pilot?
Starting point is 00:43:12 You can't. Yeah. Not going to get them because she got really upset when they ran down the guy with the car, which is the opening. If she got upset with that. And then, you know, the pop pop. With, yeah, yeah. In the Satriales.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Well, in the pilot, it's Centiannis or something. It's not Satriolis. Are you sure? Positive. Watch the pilot again. Okay. It's not Satriale. I don't think it's Satriales until like later in the first season.
Starting point is 00:43:34 So they go through all that and talking Sopranos and they talk about that pilot was shot in 97. And they sat on it, right? Well, because they had to do so much. Because it's not like today. HBO still had to get picked up the way everything else did. And then they came back. and then shot episode 2 in 98 and then aired it in 99.
Starting point is 00:43:54 So that's why you look how significantly different everybody looks. Look how different like Jamie Lee Sigler looks to episode one, episode two. I know, yeah. I listened to an interview with Gandalfini, and we're forever tied. Oh, yeah, we were watching that movie. And he died. We were in that theater at Foxland. What movie were watching?
Starting point is 00:44:11 The way, way back. It was, right. Yeah. Right. And so they were talking about him auditioning for Tony Soprano. and he said he went in for the audition and he did it and he stopped. And he's like, yeah, give me two weeks. I'm going to come back and do this again.
Starting point is 00:44:25 I'm like, all right. It's funny you say that. Like, just now, now I have shit popping up because I'm watching so much soprano stuff. Right now, like I have all my suggestions or videos. That video, that story just popped up yesterday where they talked about it. And they, well, because he, that, the Gendl Fini story blew up because HBO paid him three million bucks not to be Michael Scott. That came from talking sopranos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:45 So when they were on talking sopranos, they brought that up. That's where that story broke. So that's where that... Dude, you would love the show. You gotta listen to it. It's really, really good. And they talk about all that, and they talk about how it spaced out
Starting point is 00:44:57 and all these different things happened, what was supposed to be. Because the Bing, Silvio wasn't even supposed to be initially part of the crew in the pilot. Dude, in the pilot, he's a minor character. He just owns the Bing. He just owns the Bing. And the Bing wasn't supposed to be part of the business
Starting point is 00:45:08 or anything. And they mentioned that. And then they, after you sit on something for a year and you go back to see if it's going to get picked up. Got to put in the bang. It's just different things that are, yeah, and it's just saying, well, you know, they got to be honest.
Starting point is 00:45:20 I figured, tits. You forget that there are, like, there are boobs in that first episode. I mean, throughout the whole season, but you forget that, like, you go to the bang in the first episode. Rewatching that pilot, the stage is set for a beautiful series. Yeah. They just didn't know it yet. Chase says that he did, but he just needed, he just, right,
Starting point is 00:45:40 but he just needed them to get on board with it, right? because HBO didn't like in that famous episode of when he goes to college with Meadow. And he kills the dude. HBO went, no, you can't. This is the lead character of the show. He can't strangle somebody in the middle of. And David Chase is like, that's what the fuck this guy is. He's a mobster.
Starting point is 00:46:02 He's a fucking mobster. He's a guy. And that's the thing with Tony throughout the series. Tony does shit based off emotion and shit he shouldn't be doing. Like when he's there with the, what the hell is the fucking kid from Bronx? that with Lilo. What was his name? Bruncotta.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Yeah, right, but his name is Bevaluqua. Yeah, Christopher Bevaluco. Matthew Bevaluqua kid is what he said. And he goes there with Big Puss. He should be nowhere near that shit. But he's there because of Christopher. And, you know, when Artie Bucco finally finds out the Tony Bucco. What a great cast.
Starting point is 00:46:36 What a great casting. Phenomenal. So, again, stuff that I find out through this podcast, he and Michael Imperioli were like really good friends in college. Oh, shit. And, like, he, Imperiali is connected to all these motherfuckers. He worked with, if you bring up Catherine Arducci, he worked with her at one point. Like, all the stuff that he did and he was working on.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Remember this episode? Remember this episode when Carmela is, like, they think she's friend and then she does this. Yeah. Oh, man. It's a fresh rewatch for me recently. So anything from one to three you bring up, it'll be like yesterday. But the best part about that was not just this. It's the way that what she does afterwards.
Starting point is 00:47:08 And she's like, you know, it wasn't for me. I banged your husband. But honestly, like, it wasn't for me. We won't make our choices. just walks out the door, drops the ring, and Carmel's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:47:16 yeah, yeah, it was great. What's going on on television right now? Anything worth a damn? Yeah, should be watched? Well, okay,
Starting point is 00:47:22 so the newest HBO show just started two weeks ago. It's called the White Lotus. It's a iron. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really good. Yeah. Limited series is only six episodes,
Starting point is 00:47:31 but great cast, Connie Britton, Steve Zon, Jennifer Coolidge. The girl that's, I think, is going to be a breakout star in the next couple years
Starting point is 00:47:38 depending on where she goes is her name's Sidney Sweeney. She was in Euphoria. which is... I can't watch it. You shouldn't. That's what I heard of.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Don't ever watch that. No, I don't want to watch it. And I'm like, when I had Rosie, I was like, I'm not going to watch you for you anymore. I just can't do it. But so with this show that you're talking about White Lotus, be honest. Did you watch it because of Alexandria didoria?
Starting point is 00:48:01 Yeah. Yeah. Got into it at first and then, you know, you do see a little bit of boob in the second episode. Of her? Of her? Yeah. But she, I mean, obviously, we,
Starting point is 00:48:12 the entire world fell in love with her injury detective. I mean, sexual awakening. And that, we interviewed her. And you asked her about that. And I thought in a very classy way, because her answer was phenomenal. And just how she, she's a really great actress. Yeah, she's fantastic. She's really good.
Starting point is 00:48:27 And she's great in this show. Is she really good at it? Yeah. And the dude. I'm dying up here, the Santino show that we want to come. That guy pops up in everything. Yeah. He's just that actor.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Ted Lassow is the best show on TV, I think. I really like it. I try to get, so I watched it for. first episode of it, liked it a lot, and Sadie was like, and then we went, we watched, so the other day, we watched two more episodes. And she's like, what, she's like, it's fine, but what does everyone love about it? I say, it's just a positive show. It's fun.
Starting point is 00:48:55 And I heard it gets better. She's like, yeah, I'm bored. So I'm like, I'm going to finish it. I really like it. I mean, I love that show. And it's, um, because it's on Apple TV, nobody sees it. Right. It's the, I mean, it's getting tons of Emmy moms, but still, um, you know, like, I think
Starting point is 00:49:14 the, the, the, um, it's, I think the, the, The headline and variety was like, Ted Lassau is a big show, but still small. Yeah. So, like, you know. And that's like the, that's the landscape. The streaming landscape is so tough right now. I mean, even breaking out like Ted Lassau breaking out like it did. The guy that plays coach is a friend of a friend in Ted Lassow, his buddy.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Yeah, he's good that guy. He's really good. And they, Sadecas and him are buddies from UCB or groundlings or whatever, wherever they did improv. And every time they pitch the show, he was like, who are going to get to play coach? He's like, him. He plays coach. And they're like, nah, we need a name actor. We need a name actor.
Starting point is 00:49:47 He's like, all right, well, then we're not going to do the show. And so they sat on the show and they sat on the show until finally his Apple TV is like, all right, we'll do it. We'll do it. You know, it's funny as you say, it's tough and streaming-wise, but it actually makes it a little bit more beneficial now, especially after that story for people. Because think about back in the day with networks ratings, the number that you had to hit in order to be a hit show, some of the numbers that got shows canceled would be like
Starting point is 00:50:11 massive hits for streaming services. Totally. Because there's so much shit. And, like, you just have to hit a smaller number in order to justify the budget and everything, too, and advertising, all that kind of shit. And a show like that was Siddakis. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:24 I mean, what can that show do, I'm sure, per episode on Apple? I mean, I wonder what it does. Maybe 600. But isn't that crazy? To a million, maybe. Which is crazy. Yeah. Which is crazy.
Starting point is 00:50:35 And it's because all you hear about is Ted Lasso. Yeah. Everybody watches Ted Lasso is rave about it. In our bubble. We live in an entertainment bubble. Yeah. You go to Pittsburgh. But as far as, I guess even on Twitter, it's still, you're still linked to the people.
Starting point is 00:50:48 You're still not knowing about it. Right. I mean, every time you tell, oh, Apple TV, I don't have that one. Right. Right. Because there's so much shit. You got Netflix and Amazon Prime. It's not on those.
Starting point is 00:50:57 A majority of the people aren't watching it. Right. So then you got your second tier, which I, I, quality-wise, I wouldn't put Apple TV second tier because I think their programming is absolutely fantastic. Morning Show, Mythic Quest you would fucking love. What is that? It's like Silicon Valley, but in gaming. And it's Rob McElaney from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:51:16 So it's the always sunny crew, like a lot of those same actors, same writing team. Charlie Day is a creator on it. Okay. Oh, it's a comedy? Oh, dude. It's an outrageous comedy. You'd love it. What's the same of it again?
Starting point is 00:51:27 Mythic Quest. Okay. So it basically is a narcissistic video game creator that has like a world of warcraft and they are like constantly updating it. Okay. Super funny. That's on Apple TV. For All Mankind is on Apple TV.
Starting point is 00:51:42 That's the space race. in an alternate universe where Russia makes it to the moon first. I've heard about that one. Yeah, right, right. It's good. Joel Kinnaman's in it. He's like the star of it. Apple TV.
Starting point is 00:51:52 What's the other one on Apple TV? This is why I need to, I need to talk more on the phone because I'm always looking for shit to watch. Yeah. There's just so much of it. So much. I still, even with Rosie, like, pick and choose my battles now, because I can't like consume everything. The other two, have you watched that?
Starting point is 00:52:08 The other two. I assume I know nothing. Okay. The other two is on, I think it's a. HBO Max. So I would go, you know, Netflix, Amazon,
Starting point is 00:52:16 and then you're three under our Apple TV, HBO Max, and Peacock right now. Okay. Right. And then like Paramount Plus a little bit down,
Starting point is 00:52:23 all they've got really is Yellowstone, but Yellowstone is fantastic. It's, that's dude, it's sopranos. It's really good. You know, no, I've seen,
Starting point is 00:52:29 I've saw it first season. Yeah. It's really good. It's really good. And it gets better. Yeah. Like season three that they just wrap because they're coming,
Starting point is 00:52:35 you know, season four is soon. It's fantastic. So you've got, HBO Max has this, the other two. And dude, it's so up your alley, our alley. So it's the other two. It's from basically the same writers as 30 Rock,
Starting point is 00:52:50 like some of those 30 Rock staff writers. Tina Faye is a producer on it. It's about a brother and a sister who are older and trying to make it in New York as actors and dancers, like actresses. Tina Faye's in it? She's not in it, but she's, she producer on it. And their younger brother becomes like an international, like, TikTok pop star, basically like a whatever.
Starting point is 00:53:11 And they're like on his coattails. Molly Shannon's in the show. show. It only had one season on Comedy Central. Okay, okay. And brought it back. No, it just has the one season on HBO Max. And but because it got kind of popular, they might bring it back. I might bring it back. Yeah. I mean, HBO Max, I love, by the way. Yeah, it's just for the movie selections alone, Soprano stuff. The show is crushing. It's great. I like the stuff that I mean, I've browsed around and watched, I think I've watched like Beverly Hills Cop on the other day.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Yeah, just, there's so much. Easy to navigate smart site. Very. And they, and all that HBO program, because you can now go, I mean, dude, I was watching Larry Sanders show the other day. It's so much, I love that. I mean, obviously, as Rosie gets older, Disney Plus will jump up that for you because that's all the kids watch. They are pumping content, too. Because they have, like, all that old, the kid shows. Yes. Whether it's like, the shit that I know now that I would never know a million fancy Nancy.
Starting point is 00:53:58 You'll. Doc McStuffins. I knew Doc McStuffins. I mean, I'm sure I'm going to get into, like, Paw Patrol and Aquanx. You absolutely, if there's something wrong with your child if you don't get into Paul Patrol. because Paul Patrol is like it just finds its way. It's like fucking COVID. It just finds its way somewhere.
Starting point is 00:54:14 It finds it somewhere somewhere. And it was, I remember my oldest loved Paul Patrol for a long time. Yeah. And then the youngest just stumbled into it recently. And it's like, you know, I'm just back. Chase, rubble, sky, the whole crew. The whole crew. I know them all.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Yeah. Another really underrated one on Netflix is called Never Have I Ever. It's with Man like There's no stars in it per se But the funny part of it is Is it follows a young Indian girl In high school in Sherman Oaks
Starting point is 00:54:50 And she's voiced over by John McEnroe That's bizarre Wild Yeah well there's two shows on Netflix That people were talking about And then I just watched two episodes of my wife How I got her to watch two I have no idea
Starting point is 00:55:01 That dating show where everyone's dressed up in masks Oh yeah we can't get into those anymore Like beasts of the Southern Wild or something It's something with beasts. Magical. Sexy beasts. Sexy beasts is what it is. Kate Mulligan made us watch the friggin trailer.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Okay, so listen. I watched this trailer, I watched this. She's like, what the fuck is this? Because I thought it was a TV show because I saw everybody talking about it. Have you watched the first episode? No.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Watch the first episode. Is it on Netflix? It's on Netflix. Watch the first episode because I went in going, people are fucking weirdos, right? So the first girl that they have on here, she's dressed up as like a devil. She's talking to a big fucking rat
Starting point is 00:55:41 A guy with like a stone face There was a dolphin lady I only saw the first two Okay And what I realized after watching I mean this is the Bachelor meets the mass singer Right But what they did brilliantly is they cast it
Starting point is 00:55:58 They cast morons Yeah yeah well you kind of have to They can't it's like because in Bachelor Bachelor they get people who went to Harvard They get people like you get people And say the Bachelor It's the Krem della creme But, you know, yeah, you can say, oh, they're on TV, find a love.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Whatever. You can build a show out of them that people care about because you're like, oh, well, that's someone that I, oh, I'd love to see my daughter or my son marry that person. That'd be amazing. Whether, you know, you can craft around. They don't try to craft around anything in this show and be like, that person is just not bright. That person is a narcissistic asshole, and they're dressed like skunks. Yes. And it's like, this is, it's a great premise.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Yeah. It's not something that I would say watch the whole season. Okay. It's worth an episode. All right. All right. Yeah. And then the other thing is this thing Brett was telling me about, which I'm sure you know,
Starting point is 00:56:43 it's a sketch comedy show on. Oh, I think you should leave. Yes. It's the best sketch show, maybe since Key and Peel. Really? It's bonkers. He loved it. I mean, he was raving.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Bonkers. It is so fucking funny, dude. It is on another planet. I got to check. I got to watch it because it's, like I told you, I've been hearing a lot of, a lot of things. It's so quick. I think each season's eight episodes and they're 15 to 18 minutes. long. I got to hear, I got to watch it.
Starting point is 00:57:09 And it's your kind of like idiotic, like nonsense comedy to the point where you're like, wait, what the fuck is that? It's awesome. Okay. And my buddy Sam Richardson, who was in Veep. Yeah. He was in that show Detroiters that I still rave about. I don't even know if that streamed anywhere, but if it does find it and watch it. He's best friends with Tim.
Starting point is 00:57:31 So I've met Tim a bunch of times. Like, Tim's a really nice guy. Tim in person and Tim in sketch comedy is so politely. opposite. It's like if all of a sudden, you know, like, we're sitting here and then you're like, hey, what's your act like on stage? Like, I go on naked and jizz on people. Like, it is that. It's, it's pandemonium, man. All right. I'm going to have to check. You got it. And let me tell you this right now. Don't even try it with Sadie. She will hate the first 15 seconds. I'm sure. I mean, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, Amanda was like, uh, this fucking show again.
Starting point is 00:58:02 She's a quacks out of the room. Couldn't stand it. Hate it. All right. I'm sure I'll love it. You'll love it. All right. Before we let you take off. here. What's going on? What's the latest and greatest over at good people? What are going on? Things are good. You know, daily positivity report every morning, 9 a.m. Pacific. We've got some fun content coming. Josh Brady every Friday.
Starting point is 00:58:20 If we still do the live show, you're going to be on it. August 21st, which is a Saturday U.S. Mark. As you'll see, Josh Brady is the silliest, fastest game show on the internet for a reason. I mean, it's all either or questions. It's my kind of comedy. It's fun. Things are great over there.
Starting point is 00:58:35 You know, we're pitching a couple of different things. because we're our, the board game that I created futility, the actual game of living that Ken and Mark have been helping me with us, like developing it, we're launching a Kickstarter because that's the only way to get a board game made. Yes, it's true. These days. In about a month,
Starting point is 00:58:50 and like probably September 1st is our goal. For when you launch it? Launch the Kickstarter. So we've got a bunch of people working on it, a couple different things. And then, you know, I'm still working with fan-controlled football. We're like gearing up for season two.

Starting point is 00:59:12 You play in the FCL. Do you know who the FCL champion is right now? No. So, FCL is like the Development League. Well, it's not fan. It's the Development League where you get closer to people who can cross over. This guy Nick Harley was over. I mean, like Robert Montagnia,
Starting point is 00:59:26 really late to the party plays there now. Okay. And, yeah, there's a bunch of people who play over there. Warfather plays over there now, right, too. So this guy, Nick Harley, won the championship. Okay. And he got, Roxy actually drafted him and brought him over the Schmodeon, so he forfeited the title and he gave it to somebody. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Do you know he gave it to? Brett. It's a flirt and flouse. Flos is the FisL champion. Should Danish Harlov plays the flirt and flout? A hundred percent. Are you kidding me? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:57 At a live event. Yeah, a live event. I wonder what my look of Danish Christian Harlough. Is it like somewhat reserved? I think that it's almost if you could, because you could, I think you'd have to. get a wig for sure and then maybe trim them to do something with the mustache but like almost turn it a different
Starting point is 01:00:13 color and you've got to have a Strom Bronson's T-shirt yeah Stein Bromson T-shirt it's got to be yeah that that match would sell out New York are you guys I don't know why I'm here but apparently there's this German man that wants to fight me so I would absolutely it's like because he's a pure villain yeah and
Starting point is 01:00:30 Danis Christian Horlov isn't it's like a really he's just a very nice guy who lives in his house he's got two children and dog you know just lives his life. Yeah. And we'd call him the Danish. The Danish. The Danish.
