And then July 24th, I'll be at St. Charles, Missouri, right next to St. Louis there at the Ameristar Casino. It's only a couple of shows. Don't know if I'm planning on doing more until 2020. Seve, either way, come out and see me. Andrew Santino.com for those tickets. Andrewsantino.com. In here, we pour whiskey, whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk.

Starting point is 00:00:57 I like gingers. Ladies Joe, welcome back to Whiskey Jr. My guest is one of my favorite people on Earth. I said that for all my guess, but I mean it once again. Today, it's Ian Fidance. He just flew in to Smell-A. I said, are you here? He said, I am.
Starting point is 00:01:12 I'm just a little stress because my mom got knee surgery. Shut up, shut up, shut up. Speaking of Smell-A, I was on the flight with Henry and Kev, the Army-Ringler and Kevin Hart. Yeah. And they were sitting next to Seal. And we're never going to survive.
Starting point is 00:01:32 And speaking of Smellé, you heard it here. He kept farting on the plane. Shut up. Seal farted on the flight? Yeah, yeah. So funny. When Kevin told me that Seal was sitting next to them, so I, like, snaked my way through all the different sections to get up to Delta
Starting point is 00:01:48 1, and I was basically sitting on his lap just to look at Seal. And Seal bent over to pick something up, and I saw the crack of his ass. And I was like, Seal was letting it ride. I'm about to get a kiss from a rosebud. This is going to be something. That's crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Wait a minute. So the boys were in first class and you weren't. No. Who do these guys think they are? I mean, I have so many, like, upgrade, you know, like Delta, Medea, Diamond. So I always gamble on the upgrade. You hope you get it. Hope I get it.

Starting point is 00:02:42 for using the Delta One bathroom. And they tell you to use the other. And you say, well, I'm here now. So I'm going to use it. And then you hear them whisper about you and then they don't bring you the Ritz crackers. It is so crazy that there's like bathroom
Starting point is 00:02:55 It's the it's a I have to piss Dude let people pee wherever they have to pee it is so like Class warfare on it is it's why dude the the way they treat you when you're not in first class is hilarious He legitimately got said I'm gonna be frank with you this is only for Delta one customer So you're gonna have to go to the back and I said well I'm not going to because I'm here right now But I'll keep that in mind for the next time also you know that it's all suggestion based you know this right like they can't legally it's just them saying we're asking you please obey this fake rule and you're like was it was it a gold shitter in there dude the last time I flew to L.A. the
Starting point is 00:03:38 they spilled a tray of drinks on me and the flight attendant felt so bad she let me wear her change of clothes and I wore cut off jeans shorts and like a shawl my entire flight while they dried my clothes. Do you have a picture of of this? That's sexy. I want to see if to send that to me. I wore, I wore jeans shorts and I would not give them back. How horny were you in those jeans shorts? Penny, these are mine.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Give me a blanket. We have the same way. I'm making my own jackjack. I was coming back from Rikevich, Iceland, and I was nodding off and I had like my cup of water was. Yeah. I'm chasing the horse, dude. Yeah. My cup of water was in the, like, the middle divide between the two seats and my hand was like this next
Starting point is 00:04:20 to it, and the flight attendant touched me, and it woke me up like this. and I spilled all over myself. She woke me up to see if I wanted to eat. I was like this and soaking wet. So she was like, oh, my God, oh my God. I'm so sorry. I was like, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:04:33 I mean, it was literally a full cup of water. So I just, I got a blanket, and then I pulled my pants down. So I was just sitting naked under a blanket the entire flight. Make no underwear. No, because it was soaking wet. It soaked all the way through to my underwear. It was a, it was a comical cup of water. It was like 16 ounces.
Starting point is 00:04:50 You're like, why did they even serve this? And she didn't offer to have you wear her clothes. No, yeah. Delta, you're the best. Delta, you're the best. I love you, Delta. On the flight back from Ozzie, completely drenched with wine because the lady in front, when she put her seat back, it spilled immediately. And they gave me pajamas to wear. Really?

Bobby did a movie called Karate Ghost. And when he revealed to us that he's doing a movie called Karate Ghost, we were like...
Starting point is 00:07:30 Wait, he already shot it. Is it real? Yeah. Like recent? It's not like straight to VHS? Oh no, it'll go straight to VHS. Yeah, but they haven't...

We're like, oh, what movie? And he goes, Karate Ghosts.
Starting point is 00:07:48 So we were dying laughing because that's the funniest name I've ever heard of my fucking life. And I was like Karate Ghost. And then he, McCone was like, I think we should like shoot a fake short and tell him that we got an early release of karate ghost. And I play Bobby and the- And this town sheriff. And he wrote the script and we shot it. We went out to the desert, shot it in two days. That's so funny. I'll send it to you.

Starting point is 00:08:47 Really? No, no. No, I had a bunch of friends. I did not. not. I played basketball, baseball. Even at the dojo, no friends. No, I just think karate was, I didn't understand it. But the kids who did karate, I know I wasn't like them. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Like Boy Scouts. The majority of kids that did karate ended up doing also pills. I went and saw three ninjas in theaters and I don't know where I heard this from, but I
Starting point is 00:09:15 heard that the producers wound up finding them like at a karate. Expo at a mall or something and they asked them to do it. Really? So I went home to my house in Wilmington, Delaware, and for a week just did karate on my front lawn, hoping some pedophile executive from Hollywood came along. It was like, you want to be in the films, kid? I'd be like, you bet. You know it, sir.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Yeah, and my parents were just like, yeah, go, go. Rocky? Yeah, why don't you go? Rocky loves Emily. Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, and Colt. Colt. yeah dude
Starting point is 00:09:54 and what a movie mean guy Snyder was that his name yeah he was a bad guy Schneider Snyder Snyder
Starting point is 00:10:01 Schneider Schneider Schneider it was Rob Schneider take it back taking the kids kidnapping the children going to be a bad guy
Starting point is 00:10:14 on a ship that movie was very dark Shipmeister it's very weird when you think about that movie why Well, those kids, they were like, the three ninjas, isn't the storyline of this movie that they're trying to take back? Doesn't someone get kidnapped and they try to go get them back again?
Starting point is 00:10:39 Their dad is like an FBI guy trying to take Snyder down and the kids want to help because they learn karate from their Uncle Mori. But Uncle Mori used to be friends with Snyder because he trained him and they find out. so then the guys try to kidnap the kids. That's what it is. And then they end up foiling the plan. Yeah. Using their special masks. We know someone that produced that movie.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Isn't that kind of crazy? Really? All those years ago. Yeah, he works in the studio sometimes. His dad. Oh, really? Yeah. I know he was working on some kind of a sequel.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Well, he wanted to do the sequel. Yeah, we can't talk about. But isn't that wild? When I think about those old movies that, like, shaped your child, do you go back and you watch them again? They were all sleepover movies. They were all sleepovers. You get jacked up.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Do kids have sleepovers now? No. Nobody does that? I talked to my friends that have kids and, like, we do not let our kids sleep in people's houses. We don't know what the other kids are going to do to them. We don't know what the parents do. I guess that's true. The kid never leaves a home.
Starting point is 00:11:40 And I'm like, dude, everybody needs to get molested. It makes you better. That's why you got all those tattoos. Yeah. These are all the times I was touched. These are all the times Tony popped his cock in my mouth and a sleepover. And look at you now. It saved you.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Did it? Yeah. Really? Because I'm about to fade to black. Don't do it, dude. Stick around. You have a show this week. I have a show this week.

Starting point is 00:12:24 jobs and I do their jobs with them. That's great. It's awesome. I worked at the last blockbuster on Earth. Where is it? In Washington. In Bend, Oregon. Oh, Oregon.
Starting point is 00:12:33 That's right. I knew it was a Pacific Northwest somewhere. I was an oyster farmer in Pemiquin, Maine. I did head of security of the comedy mothership, and I wore, I wore a foot to head tactical, and had night vision goggles, and I had a whip and a pole with an American flag and a spear. I was defending the sanctity of kill Tony. The greatest fucking security guard of all time.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Dude, I was wanding. We attached the security wand on the American flag spear, and I was making people spin around like eight times. I got lost in the mothership and did like Blair Witch. Like, don't tell Joe, please, don't tell Joe. I was going to say, did Joe know you were doing this? Dude, his head of security was like, we didn't tell Joe. He doesn't kind of get, you know, like humor stuff like this sometimes.
Starting point is 00:13:21 And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he would not... The guy with the biggest podcast in the world doesn't get humor. You're right. He would not like that, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I could hear him being like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:29 And, like, children, we'd all be like, I don't know. Ian was, yeah, I don't even know. And I just walk away immediately. Yeah, Ian, that was Ian's bit. Oh, dude, he was... One woman, we were filming at like five before they opened the doors, and I was on the street, like, yelling. And an old woman thought that I was ice, and she was like,
Starting point is 00:13:49 and she tripped to film the sun. I looked and I picked her up and I was like, see how good the security is at the mother ship? We're helping. Dude, I'm having so much fun. Are you financing this whole thing? You're traveling all around the world, the country? I financed it for like a year,
Starting point is 00:14:06 and then it got picked up by YMH, so they're producing it. That's awesome. So they're helping me out, and it goes out on my channel and their channel. And they're like super into it, and it's so fun. I'm doing something with Ring of Honor and AEW coming up. I'm going to like learn how to. to wrestle and then like build the ring and everything.

That's a promo I'd watch. Yeah, right? Yeah. Yeah, they're going to teach me how to cut a promo. I mean, I kind of know now, but I'm so stoked. Yeah. It's kind of cool. But that lifestyle now is so
Starting point is 00:15:22 subdued because now look it's always character base but you read some of those stories about the old days and you're like how are all these guys not dead? So many of them did die. They're like how are all them not dead? Not only die but they died while they were alive like they lived a horrible
Starting point is 00:15:38 horrible post wrestling life. Yeah. Like Andre the Giant stories that documentary about him was like super sad they were like everyone's bragging and he's like he started with the case of beer like that's a bad thing that's a really bad thing. Yeah they're like oh it was so fun he drank nine by bottles of wine.
Starting point is 00:15:54 He'd drive. He used to drive. He used to drive. He used to drive. Yeah, that's insane. Yeah. But all the stories are so tragic because they lived such a dark,
Starting point is 00:16:03 dark reality. And they were in so, a lot of those guys were living in so much pain that they were like, well, I'll just keep getting fucked up every night. Yeah. And I don't just take pills, it'll make me better.
Starting point is 00:16:11 And then like, you know, let alone the CTE of it all. And, you know, the whole Chris Benoit thing. Sad. And, which I, you know, that was obviously faked. But anyway, Anyway, I know. Anyway, watch Ian do.

Starting point is 00:16:43 Yeah, that's anyone that won't watch. That's exactly right. You have to give... Sometimes you have to give up... You have to give people the finger once in a while, but I do feel like you reach an age where the finger is no good. You can't do it, yeah. Like, I can't see my dad giving somebody the finger.
Starting point is 00:16:56 I like the finger juxtaposed with a smile. Smile, that's genius. But actually intentionally fully being like, that. That's a gap, right? Like when you're young, it's teenagers like, screw you. Funny. But then you get into like your 30s and it's like. That's like, have you ever met an adult that still does a shock?
Starting point is 00:17:19 Woof. My mom. She's like, what's that, boys? Let's get in a picture, fellas. Family photo. No, but then there's a gap where it's not cool, but then I take it back. If my dad, if my dad was like, get fucked, I'd be like, that's funny again. So there's a gap where you're like, it's weird and lame and immature, and then you're so old that it's cool.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Like, my dad is at the age where he doesn't care at all, nothing. He couldn't care less. like he doesn't care about appearances anymore like it just doesn't matter I love that well what is it fucking it's old he's you're old it's over

Starting point is 00:18:09 on all the right now right now yes yes yeah you sounded sad about it oh so sad it is funny though you want to be you want to be in a relationship then you get in a relationship and then you're like
Starting point is 00:18:19 I don't want to be in a relationship and then No I very much wanted to be in relationship Because you get in them and you get out of them And it's all your fault I would have stayed in them if you know She didn't love coke and cock What can you do?

Starting point is 00:19:23 He was fucking unreal. He was friends with a friend of ours and he was like, yeah, Chad's going to come. And I was like, oh, as if I knew who Chad was. That rules. It was insane. When he came, I was like, oh. And then he's like, are you going to pool? And I was like, no.
Starting point is 00:19:38 I can play pool. Yeah. But he was like, oh, well, you know, all right, we'll try. And he fucking smushed me. I think I got one shot and he was just like, cleaning up. Was he having fun with it? Or was he pissed at you like weren't good?
Starting point is 00:19:53 No, I mean, after he beat me, I just got a beer and watched. Yeah. I was like, you guys play. I'm not going to pretend. Dude, I learned how to play the opening lick to scar tissue. And I played it on the phone for my eighth-grade girlfriend. And then she broke out with me two days later. Can you imagine?
Starting point is 00:20:10 That's why she broke up with you? Like, probably. I also was like a bit kisser. I guess. You were a bad kisser? In eighth grade, yeah. How were you now? Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Now, was the bad kiss got, did it get around school? People were like, you know, Ian's a bad kisser. Did she tell people? Bro? Oh, no. Not even around school. My birthday's December 31st, sophomore year. I went to a New Year's Eve party,
Starting point is 00:20:32 and all the girls lined up to give, like, a New Year's birthday kiss to me. Oh, no. And it was literally kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, by the time I got to the end of the line, word got around that I was a bad kisser. It was so embarrassing And I was wearing a Mr. T-shirt
Starting point is 00:20:48 That his his Afro-Mohawk Like was bubbly on the shirt That you could like And it was like I'm pretty to fool Like oh I had like my best Janko's on Like dude I was so embarrassed I faked a stomach ache And I asked my mom to pick me up from the party
Starting point is 00:21:02 And then this girl shout out I'd say maybe I don't know if you should leave her name She's a king she's a queen Just say her first name Jess She took me into her a red Honda Civic at a party like two months later and was like, look, we got to fix this.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Let me show you how to kiss. And we made out in her car and she taught me. And ever since then, I've been told him a fantastic kisser. God bless. Appreciate you. You know what, Jess? Shock up, dude. Shock up.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Shocked it out. I was shocked that you took me and your tutelage. Was she same age or older than you? This sounds like an older chick would do. Same grade older. Yeah. It sounds like an older girl would be a kid. It was such a solid move, dude.
Starting point is 00:21:42 There was a girl. You never, did you know what to do with your tongue? I didn't know what to do with the mouth. No, I mean, my dad taught me. No, but I'll tell you this reminded me of a story when I was in high school, an older girl who lived like in my neighborhood, who I totally had a crush on, but I thought she's older. You know what I mean? And she would pick me up and take me to school sometimes, and she drove stick, like hottest shit ever. So cool.
Starting point is 00:22:10 And only after. when we were both in college and like saw each other back home was she like I had a massive crush on you and you never made a move at all and I was like I was a scared little boy then I did yes but I was like how did you not say she goes every I was throwing so many signals to you I picked you up and took you to school like I wore the shortest dresses when I saw you I was like I know I thought you were just like a cool hot chick yeah the older older hot chick in your mind you're like that's it's a impossible. That's an impossible find. I can't get that. That happened to me. A girl, great older. I would go to her beach house. I was in a band with her older brother. And then she and I
Starting point is 00:22:51 would stay up all night, talking. But you thought no chance. And I'm just like, well, she just likes conversation. I don't know. Well, because when you're in high school, you're like the older broads like older dudes. They're definitely not looking down at dorky us, but sure enough. And you ended up smooching. Yeah, we did. It's fantastic. Oh, so how did I learn how to kiss good? Yeah. My friend who was my neighbor in my neighborhood, her and I, we literally taught, we were like learned together. That's great.
Starting point is 00:23:20 And we made a bet when we were young that if we were not married by a certain age, we would have gotten married. We did that thing. That's cute. Yeah. And then what happened? She's gay. Whoa. No, no.
Starting point is 00:23:32 I'm gay. Shit. I got that wrong. I always got that confused. No, we both grew up and met people. But it's funny because she was like my best friend. She was also a tomboy and beat every dude in the neighborhood at sports. I'm not kidding.

Maybe in time will be like pals about it, but it's just like, you know, too raw right now, but I'm still in that mode of like, God, I miss like my friend, you know. Yeah, you'll get back there. But a friend doesn't treat someone like that way.

Starting point is 00:39:21 It's so much fun. It's so funny. Being a headliner is great, but you're like, so nice to go open for someone and just hang out. I know, yeah. Especially him, because we keep the same hours and everything. And, like, you know, we were just, like, sit and chain smoke until the sun comes up. And it was, like, so nice and fun. You go to bed at what time?
Starting point is 00:39:41 I'm a lot better now, but for a while, it was between, like, four and six. Damn. But now. Midnight, one in the morning? Now it's probably, like, two or three. And you wake up at what time? probably 9.30. And then
Starting point is 00:39:58 hits a snooze. 937 because the snoozes every 7 minutes and then I get out of bed at 3 p.m. Guide them. No, I wake up at 9.30 and I'll putts around and then I'll like take a nap later in the day before I have to do my next thing. And then I kind of sleep in shifts sometimes.
Starting point is 00:40:19 You're like an oil rigger. You're like an oil rigger. like an oil riga. Sorry about that. Yeah, but I mean, dude, the schedule is like so, it's like appealing to a partner for like a minute. And then they're like, oh, this kind of sucks, you know. Yeah, because it's hard on even us. You're like, I don't know how people want to be with this thing.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Because you're coming home so intermittently. And then when you are gone, a lot of times, too, it's like when I'm on the road, even when we talk because you want to talk because you miss, you're also so kind of like, it. level mode in your mind. You're doing shit that you're like, I gotta go to talk to you later. I gotta fucking... Yeah, but also there's that thing that you hear the sad and their voice of like,
Starting point is 00:40:59 I miss you, I wish you were here and that makes me feel like helpless because I want to like fix and make feel good. Yeah. So it makes me feel like impotent when I'm like, well, I wish I was there too. Nothing you can do, you know? So I have to like, I had to be like,
Starting point is 00:41:13 okay, instead of saying you miss me, for me to make it not so tough, and for you too, it'd be better if you were to say, like, I'm so excited to see you. Mm-hmm. and I think, you know, I made jokes and it didn't end well or whatever, but there was a connection to me and this person had and it did show me what I want. I do want, I think I'm at the phase where I do want a partner and I want to bring someone around with me.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Like I would love to have whomever I'm with travel with me and like do these weekends with me and make like the weekends like mini vacations and fun stuff like that. You know, like that's what I would really like because it can get like so intensely lonely. Oh my God, dude. And I don't want to be the guy that just, like, hooks up with someone on the road. And, you know, I've been a tumbleweed blowing through town before, okay? This tumbleweed is done blowing. Guys.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Unless. You got a hog. Then I'm shuck it. Then I'm shuckered. I'm fucking. I'm bouncing on that thing crazy style. Well, you put out a good advertisement. I really hope somebody fishes through this episode sees it.

Starting point is 00:42:30 I know, I just, I realized it. McCone, you have that sign I said that says, will you go to prom with me in 2026? Oh, dude, listen to this. I'm such a hopeless romantic. This girl, I flew her out to visit me the first time we met, because we met on, she'd DM me. And the joke was that she was too good to be true,
Starting point is 00:42:48 and she was, like, so beautiful. and like really into me and I'm like this is a scam. You're like an Indian crypto guy. Like this is, your name's Gardeep. You must give us your bank account. Dude. Enter now, please. So when when she flew in, I got a ticket to like I got a cheap $100 dollar ticket to Ohio

Starting point is 00:43:18 And I had to. a sign that said Gar-deep on it when she got off the plane because I would call her Gar-Dip. And then on the other side it said, I can't wait to be Gar-Dip inside you. I'm a fun guy.
Starting point is 00:43:35 You are a fun guy, dude. I'll find my princess Prince Charming. Which one do you prefer? I just want a person that I have a connection with. Yeah. You know.
Starting point is 00:43:49 It's a lot harder to meet people when, like, people are deep in their careers and they're successful and they kind of have, they're more planted in who they are. I think that's harder. When you're young and you're all broke, that's the other thing, too. When you're young and you're all broke, you can pull someone way out of your league because you're like, we're all poor. You're hot, but you're not rich. Yeah. I'm ugly, but I'm, we're all poor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:09 And you like me because I'm nice and funny. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:49:35 I'm your bitch. I noticed you've been leaving your kitchen shift earlier than I have. Is that just, I mean, I know there's distance, but there needs to be something that's done. I can't believe we made the scenario up and I'm like seeing it in my mind.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Like, this is a great scene from a movie. Oh, yeah. I feel like it's a Wayans Brothers movie. Yeah. That they've already made. That loves too hard. Aren't they doing another scary movie? Their remakes coming out.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Yeah, it's about to hit theaters. I'm so stoked that's back. I hope that kind of comedy comes back. Like, goofy, stupid comedy needs to live again. We need it, dude. We're so fucked. Comedy's so weird now. It's like, just give me goofball.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Seeing Scary Movie 2 in theaters. Oh, my God, dude. In Bethany Beach, Delaware in, like, 2000. I just remember like laughing to the point of like hurt. It hurt. It was so fucking funny. And it didn't care. It doesn't take itself serious.
Starting point is 00:50:36 No. Like we have just nothing is like that now. You know it's weird. I did, I saw a preview for it and it mentions like pronouns and like non-binary stuff and it's like but those movies back then, they were funny for the sake of funny and didn't mention anything like in the
Starting point is 00:50:56 zeitgeist of the world. Film is too, well, we're too aware. That's kind of the biggest problem. Because this thing, this thing's made like everyone so aware of everything all the time. It's like naked gun. I loved naked gun. And they remade it. And it's a good
Starting point is 00:51:11 you know, it's like a good swing. But it's such a self-aware movie now. And I think the originals were so dumb and they lived kind of in a vacuum. Well, you've got to be smart to be dumb. if you're gonna be tough you gotta be dumb I just you need dumb shit
Starting point is 00:51:28 we need more dumb dumb for the sake of dumb not like dumb with a point well Theo and Spade's movie did well I mean I think it made money and it's dumb it's a dumb movie about them trying to be waiters
Starting point is 00:51:42 dude and so it's like that thing should continue Ricky Stedakey that was a dumb movie It was a dumb dumb dumb movie silly fun stupid great throwback comedy.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Yeah, it was fun. It was such a dumb fucking movie. I was like, why is it? But then every time you pitch these things, people, like, it's just the machine is like, we don't know what to do with that. You know, like, people want it. You just have to give them something.
Starting point is 00:52:06 They don't know they miss it yet because you can't keep shelling out Avengers. What were you looking up? I'm just looking at budgets. How much was the budget? It says a lot of the full information is now because it just recently came out, but it had a production budget
Starting point is 00:52:21 of around 3 million. Scary movie? No, no, busboys. But it was all self. Yeah, it was all self-financed. Three million, and they made how much? I'm still going, I'm still fine. I think they made a lot of money on it.
Starting point is 00:52:32 I think they made like... Good for them. But it's for us, because, like, we need to do. That's what I want. I want you to call me, and I want to, like... Or I want to call my friends and be like, let's go make something really fucking dumb. I mean, I would fucking love that if I didn't owe so much money,
Starting point is 00:52:45 the goddamn IRS. You win snipes, dude. You're holding me back. Man? The man is holding you down. 1.6 Millie, but it's only been out for a couple. And that's just from theatrical release, which is great. So once they sell a deal to put on a streamer, hopefully.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Thanks a lot, Obama. That's great. That's fantastic. And it's just great that a comedy got a theatrical release at any capacity. That's a bummer about Stenickey that didn't get one. I know Amazon promised us we would. And why didn't you? Because they lied. The business is so funny.
Starting point is 00:53:14 They're like, it's going to be in the movies. And then got closer to, and we're like, when's it come out? And they're like, we're working on it, but it's going to be in the theaters. And they got even closer and they were like, it's gonna be on Amazon. What the fuck? And we're like, I thought you said that was a whole. And they were like, yeah, no, yeah, it's not gonna be. It's just kind of like a like a shitty father who's like, I'll be there.
Starting point is 00:53:33 And you're like, where were you? Like, I didn't go. I didn't show up. And you're like, wait, but you told me you would. And they're like, yeah, I know. Well, we didn't. The dad in a first act of a 90s family movie. Right.

He's a little sneak away. He's an addict, right? And I know his addict habits. And I know because he's stressed and it's hard and it's a lot and it's heavy and it's pressure. I know he's sneaking away when Carlos and the boys aren't looking. And late at night, if he's up playing games, I bet you's cracking the hotel window and ripping heaters out of there. I guarantee you. Oh, dude. I'll crack the hotel window. I'll cut the little screen open. Yeah. Have to. Everyone I know that smokes does that. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:59:55 The IRS doesn't watch Whiskey Ginger. Oh, shit. I asked them not to, politely. The CIA watches it, though. Yeah, of course they do. Fucking Palantir is probably a fucking sci-opt ad. Hell yeah. This episode brought to you by Palantir and Black Rock.
Starting point is 01:00:12 And we have one more. Monsanto also sponsors this show. Yeah. Montanto, don't worry about it. Monsanto, just eat it, will you? Forget about it. Yeah, just forget about it. It's supposed to be that color. Monsanto, you already have microplastics in your body. Get over it. Who cares?
Starting point is 01:00:32 Oh, that's like that documentary I talk about to everybody. Have you seen the devil we know? It's about how everybody on this earth has Teflon in their blood. And it dates all the way back to the Korean War. Really? Every human on planet Earth has Teflon in their blood. Why? Because we use Teflon so freely.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Shout out DuPonts, Delaware. DuPont, DuPont, DuPont. What's up? We used it so heavily, so freely, and so many products that cross-contaminated into almost everything, and then it got in our bloodstream. Is it bad that it's in our blood? Yeah, no, it's good that Teflon's in our blood.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Then that's great. It's insane. It's like creepy, and they tested blood of people from all over the world, and the only active person they could find without it at the time of the testing was pre-Korean war. Really? Yeah. So what's the Teflon in her blood do?
Starting point is 01:01:23 Well, it's probably slowly giving us all a certain kind of cancer. It's probably metastasizing something in your body. I wish I had this ammo when I was at my ex and she came to my apartment was like, I'm not drinking her tap water. I wish I was like, well, there's Teflon in your blood. Get over it, bitch. Yeah, a little fluoride will help you? What? She didn't want tap.
Starting point is 01:01:40 She didn't drink tap water? No. That's crazy. I know. Tapwater in New York? Yeah. It's like the cleanest tap water in the country. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Don't they get rated every year like the highest tap water? That's why the peach. She also didn't believe in medicine. Oh. So. Oh, maybe she was a sclientalot list. Ah, no, just like a hippie. Hippie.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Oh, hippies don't like medicine. That's so funny. Yeah. So they get an infection when they're playing barefoot soccer, Bob Marley. And then what do you do? Bob Marley, shut out. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Also, that wasn't an infection of being barefoot. That was actually the government that injected him with that. because he was actually bringing people together and that's not what they want. It's not what we want. No. It's not what I want. Wait.
Starting point is 01:02:17 The Teflin or Marley? No, look up the Teflon. Modern Teflon is PFOA free historical or degradation-related exposure to PFA chemicals have been linked to increased cholesterol levels liver damage, reduced immune response, and potential reproductive issues. It's not directly classified as a carcinogen.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Some say it's associated it with cancer. Isn't that incredible that they're able to be like, it's not a fucking carcinogen? This is, we need Aaron Brockovich. What is she? Dude, I don't know, but let me tell you, Julia Roberts, hot. So beautiful. In everything.
Starting point is 01:02:49 She's so good. She's great. She had a generational run of just incredible films one after another. Yeah, she doesn't miss. Why is she not celebrated more? You know who doesn't get celebrated that I think should all the time? Tracy Olman. Oh, so talented.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Dude, incredible. Yeah, so talented. Amazing comedic actress So talented But I think also stays out of the public eye So it's kind of that thing where like if you don't Well let's fucking find her She's right here, Trace
Starting point is 01:03:19 Trace I think if you don't want the noise You stay away from it And then people are like Where are you abandoned? It's like avoiding you And all this bullshit Like Shelly Duvall Yeah
Starting point is 01:03:28 Ouch Rick Moranis Yeah that one was Did I ever tell you my thing about Rick Moranus? What? I don't know Oh dude this was crazy Do you know him? No this was nuts
Starting point is 01:03:38 Is he hanging out with Tracy? Rick! Rick! Bring in Tracy! Almost 10 years ago I wrote this thing called Where Are You Rick Moranus? Because you know how you disappeared out the face of the earth?
Starting point is 01:03:49 And I did all this research about it and I wanted to make a documentary about finding Rick Moranus because he was just a huge piece of our childhood with Honey I Shrunk and Ghostbusters and so I wanted to like find him
Starting point is 01:04:02 and this has always happened to society is like it's drumming up without you even knowing because you know how he then he came back he started playing music and doing shows in new york all over the place then he got hit in the face remember that he got somebody punched him right but prior to this he was kind of quiet and i was like i want to know why and i googled and found out all the stuff that when his wife passed away he chose to kind of step back from the business but at one point google this was the highest grossing box office earner in the shortest amount of time
Starting point is 01:04:32 of any actor like made more money in a short little giants little giant little giant little Put him over. No, but it was like the highest gross box office in a, in a condensed amount of time or something like that. It was crazy. What? Because he was in Ghostbusters. Because Ghostbusters and Honey, I shrunk the kids. Earned $238 million.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Honey, I shrunk the kids, the series made between $130 million to $222 million. Flintstones $130 million. Ghostbusters 2, $112 to $215 million. What year of this? What year? This is all just, I mean, Ghostbusters 84 going up to the early 90s. That's insane. With honey, I shrunk in.
Starting point is 01:05:08 $200 million in 94 is hilarious. It's a billion-dollar comedy movie. It's fucking crazy. But anyway, I was doing this thing. I wanted to, like, shoot this doc about finding Rick Moranis. And I was, because I was obsessed. Like, this is such a great, is going to be amazing story of a guy who, like, comedically influenced my life.
Starting point is 01:05:26 And then he came back on the scene. He, like, came back into the Hollywood world. He was, like, around again. People were talking to him. Like a groundhog. He came out. It saw a shadow, dude. Six years.
Starting point is 01:05:38 More years of Rick. Of Rick. And it kind of bummed me out because I really wanted to do this comedy exploration. I was like, that was my foray into being like, I want to do a documentary. He's like gone again. So you can do that.
Starting point is 01:05:47 He's going to be in the new space balls. No, he's going to be in new space balls. Yeah, he's acting again. But he hasn't been in a film since the two Brother Bear movies. He wasn't, what movies? Disney, the Brother Bear movies. He was a voice actor.
Starting point is 01:05:58 I was surprised he wasn't in the Ghostbusters reboot at all. I was not surprised. A little sad. I could see him being like, I don't want to do that. I did the original. I don't want to do that. It'd be hard to get you to go back to something because you did the original was so good.
Starting point is 01:06:13 You'd be like, I don't know if I want to fuck it up. You know what you remind me of in the best way, Bill Murray? Do you ever get that? Is that a good thing? He's my favorite person in all the time. I love him, Cubs fan, Chicago. I think he's such an amazing comedic actor and just like his sly, sarcastic. Like, he's just so great.
Starting point is 01:06:33 You remind me a lot of him. I love you. He's the king. He's the king. He owns the St. Paul Saints. He does on the St. Paul Saints. Really? What is that? Minor League Baseball.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Minor League, St. Paul, Minnesota. I love baseball. You hate baseball. I love baseball. You hate it. I have a Phillies tattoo on my shin. I know you do. So when people see it, I go, this is a thing I hate.
Starting point is 01:06:56 I love, dude, I only like baseball in the, like, 70s, 80s, and early 90s. I hate the steroid era. I don't like how sterile road. things are now. I love baseball with like Ozzy Smith, Ryan Sandberg, hard slides, getting trucked at home. Andre Dawson. I love it.
Starting point is 01:07:17 I love that kind of baseball. Old school. Old school baseball. That's what I like. Yeah, like you're not going to get that. Well, you're not going to get that ever again. In fact, you're not even going to get like cool young, hot guys. You're not going to get like hot being powerful. I mean, like Ken Griffey was like hot as a pistol and he was so cool. Yeah. Like that guy, that...
Starting point is 01:07:37 Even the swings. Nobody has like a sweet swing now. Well, now it's all technical. That was back, it was just like feel. That's what I liked about baseball. Hunches, feels, feelings. Oh, the guy's up to it. Superstitions.
Starting point is 01:07:50 300 pitches, but he's humming, so we're going to keep him in. And now somebody gets, they could be into the eighth inning on a shutout, and they're like, 78 pitches, we get to take them out. It's so gross. Well, they do play too many fucking games. I mean, that's a big part of it now. You're like, this is too many fucking games. Why?
Starting point is 01:08:07 It's always been this venue. No, I know it has, but it is too many games. It just is at some point. It's too many fucking games. No. It's harder for them to care anymore. No. They're too young.
Starting point is 01:08:15 It's too much money. They don't care. That will take the money away. I agree. Put it into the community that the team is playing for. This is where I think you could change the game for the better as you're like, take some of this fucking money back. Yeah. Stop overpaying for this thing.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Just take it away. Dude, there should be salary caps with all fucking athletes and stadiums and all that money made after a certain point should go back to the community around it. How about this? How about this, athletes only get, there's a cat, everyone gets paid the exact same. Yeah. Every athlete gets paid the same and they still have to have jobs in the off season. Yes. Those are the good old days.
Starting point is 01:08:45 And they have to hang out with me sometimes because they'd be cool. They have to be a refrigerator salesman or whatever? Yeah. Like he was like, who was doing that? Who was selling fridges in the off season or selling, what was he selling in the off season? It was like appliances. There was a famous baseball player that sold appliances in the off season. They're like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 01:09:03 He's like, oh, the fucking Yankees don't pay me. Or was that just like that. old baseball player that we now know has autism, but he was known for like chasing fire trucks in the middle of a game. Like that kind of guy. Jackie Robinson? Jackie did? Worked at Sunset Appliances in Queens, New York following the, oh, well, this is from
