BONUS The Friday Show - Spring Cleaning
Marc:the way my mom says Joe Rogan's name, as if she's talking about a friend, she says, and Joe was saying that, uh, he thinks that it crushed me.
Marc:I like, like, like as if like I was being crushed by, by one of those things that crushes cars.
Marc:Like I, I was devastated.
Guest:Chris is a cube.
Guest:Yeah.
Yeah.
Marc:Hey, Chris.
Marc:Hello, Brendan.
Marc:How do people do things?
Marc:I mean, you're going to be a little bit more specific.
Guest:I just don't know how people... Like, you and I, we went to a baseball game yesterday.
Guest:It was a great time.
Guest:It was a beautiful day here in New York City.
Guest:And we went to, like, a nice, sunshiny afternoon ball game.
Guest:It was a spectacular day to do it.
Guest:And, like...
Guest:I think it was the most crowded game of the series, too, which was shocking that, like, all these people just decided to play hooky or whatever, you know, not go to school and not go to work.
Guest:And it was great.
Guest:And it has completely fucked my week.
Guest:Just completely.
Guest:Like, I'm like, oh, no.
Guest:All these things are just completely out of place.
Guest:And I'm just scrambling to get things done.
Guest:And I'm like, are you serious?
Guest:Like, like, how did people do things?
Guest:How do you get things that are not part of the regular slate that you have to accomplish?
Guest:How do you add anything in?
Guest:It's just mind boggling to me that people actually go do things and enjoy themselves.
Marc:Well, you're a parent.
Marc:So, you know, anything out of the normal structure probably, you know, is, you know, just ruins the whole week, right?
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:It's like, it's like the, it's, it's like, you know, there's obviously there's family stuff and that it's also, you know, having a house.
Guest:It's like every day there's something in the house that you have to do and then you don't do it.
Guest:And then you're like, oh, fuck that thing, you know?
Marc:Totally.
Marc:I actually have the same problem.
Marc:We won tickets to see Stranger Things on Broadway.
Marc:And I'm just like, fuck, I'm so tired.
Marc:I don't want to do anything except to sit on the couch and do nothing.
Guest:Yeah, I guess that's the other problem.
Guest:It's like, I need more time to do nothing.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Like it's not even like going and doing another thing.
Guest:Like I just need to do nothing for a period of time.
Marc:This is why Conclave was having such a hard time.
Marc:He's like, God damn it.
Marc:I just need to like do the prayers and body of Christ.
Marc:Now I have to do this whole thing.
Marc:So yes.
Guest:Right.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Old Conclave, and now he's back in action.
Guest:I really wish that was the guy.
Guest:He has to go do this current Conclave.
Guest:It might be.
Guest:I mean, we don't know.
Marc:He's a fictional character.
Marc:He could show up in real life.
Marc:I loved the bonus episode where you and Mark were just recounting how many popes that you have gone through in your time together.
Yeah.
Guest:Which is weird because it was not a lot of popes for most of my life.
Guest:Like we went like, you know, into our mid twenties on one Pope.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:This new Pope is, you know, there's a lot of Pope transitions since John Paul II, right?
Guest:They're never going to do that again too.
Guest:Like every Pope is going to be as old as Methuselah because like that, that was like, they learned their lesson.
Guest:They're like, oh no, we can't, we can't have some guy be here for 30 years.
Guest:Oh geez.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:i i kind of want the nazi pope to come back not to like be the pope but just just like dead oh is he i thought yeah i thought he's still alive and just like he died in like uh maybe like two years ago three years ago even more reason why i wanted to come back zombie pope zombie nazi pope is back holy shit
Marc:Shattered glass.
Marc:The Nazi Pope starts stone cold stuttering a bunch of bishops.
Guest:Then we got to get Rick Dalton to come in and set him on fire.
Marc:Anybody ordered fried communion?
Guest:Uh, yeah, I, uh, I was, I was happy to bring that up with Mark this week.
Guest:I was also, you know, it was very like, it was funny because that bonus thing, we, uh, had just planned to talk about David Cronenberg who had just been in there, but then, you know, it was, uh, it was Monday when, when we recorded that and, uh, he had just had that thing happen with Mike Berbiglia.
Guest:And I was like, I think this is like more interesting to talk about.
Guest:Like this, like what went on here, what your like process was with it and, and what our process was frankly in putting the episode together.
Guest:Cause it really was one of those like production moments where I had to put everything on hold and we had to have a conversation about it.
Guest:Like, wait a minute, what should I do with this?
Guest:You know?
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:I, I found that part of the conversation really fascinating because, you know, you kind of, you know,
Marc:see and you don't normally get to see or hear where you're like hey i can't lose this bit because it's going to destabilize the whole episode yeah you know and uh that was fascinating and your reasoning for it was sound yeah well i mean like the the other alternative and i didn't even bring this up to him is that like you could like bleep the name but that's that's then you just create a scavenger hunt
Marc:Exactly.
Marc:You're going to be searching for clues on message boards and everything.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:I remember it was, coincidentally, it was that woman, Bridget Everett, who he was talking about with that Somebody Somewhere show.
Guest:And she was on Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars and Cargo Shorts or whatever it's called.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:And she brought up a name.
Guest:She says, like, I was doing, you know, I was doing my show and I was being helped by.
Guest:And she says a name and they bleeped it.
Guest:But like, you know, you could read her lips.
Guest:Right.
Guest:And it was pretty clear she made a B with her first consonant.
Guest:Right.
Marc:Okay.
Guest:And, and then, so they bleeped the name because immediately Seinfeld is like, I can't stand him.
Guest:I hate that guy.
Guest:And he's, and he just, just starts going off on why he's like that guy, he was always a hack.
Guest:He could never do the job.
Guest:It's like, it's a great little insight into Jerry.
Guest:Cause to see like what actually sets him off emotionally.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:And, but it was, so then people were watching the mouth and the lips and they're like, oh, is it, is it Bill Maher?
Guest:Is it like, but nah, he's kind of, I don't think he's got a beef with Bill Maher.
Guest:And I clocked it right away.
Guest:And mostly because I knew the history.
Guest:I'm like, oh, it's fucking Bobcat.
Yeah.
Guest:Oh, no kidding.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:And, and, and then that made sense with like somebody who, who had worked with Bridget Everett.
Guest:Oh, okay.
Guest:And, and then, yeah, it's like, you know, Jerry hates that guy because, well, I think the reasoning is that Bob used to do a bunch of material about Jerry, you know, dating that younger woman that who, who, you know,
Guest:allegedly was a teenager when they met or whatever is it alleged i thought it was all right she was a teenager when they met i guess the allegedly they were dating then but he's they always say no like he didn't date her until she was of legal age right uh still very young right that's the that's the argument um and bobcat used to do tons of material on oh so obviously there's yeah the beef there but
Guest:Jerry couches it like, you know, he just doesn't like the guy cause he thinks he sucks.
Guest:Right.
Guest:He thinks he, and I remember talking to Mark about that.
Guest:And Mark was like, I think he, I think it's both.
Guest:Like, I think he hates him for the stuff he said about him, but he also does not think he's a good comic.
Guest:Like he, like Bobcat is like a kind of antithesis to like the way Jerry thinks.
Guest:And, and Jerry's saying that in that clip, he's like, he couldn't do the work.
Guest:That's why he had to do that stupid voice.
Guest:That was another giveaway to.
Guest:Oh, right.
Marc:Mr. Policeman, I gave you all the clues.
Marc:You, you sussed it out so nicely.
Guest:But yeah, so I felt like, you know what, let's just be upfront about this.
Guest:Let's just put it in the episode and then address it.
Guest:And I said to Mark, I was like, you know, because, you know, he pushed back hard about my thought that he should give Mike a heads up.
Guest:yeah and you know it's like it to me i fully believe that it's like it's way better for someone to know like you don't have you don't have to like take it back you just had to be like hey listen i said this i you know me you know i stand by this i've said this thing to your face before right but
Guest:But like, you know, I want you to know from me as opposed to hearing it from somebody else that I'm the one saying these things.
Guest:And, you know, it's like we can deal with it in our own way, however you want to do that.
Guest:But like it's to me, that's a better conversation than the sneak attack, which I.
Guest:Honestly, I always draw my own experience from that with like the thing that I've talked about before where I heard Wayne Fetterman, you know, bad mouth in the show when I was listening to a podcast that I listened to for my own enjoyment.
Guest:Like I felt like, oh, my God, that was a sneak attack.
Guest:Right.
Guest:Right.
Guest:And I just think like, OK, don't do that to other people.
Guest:Like if if you're going to feel you need to justify keeping something like this in the show, then, you know, let's let's be upfront about it.
Guest:So I think the whole thing was good to be upfront about.
Guest:I think what also is good about it is that, you know, give some context for our listeners.
Guest:but also kind of unplugs it so that it doesn't have to be this big thing when they wind up having a talk.
Guest:Like when we schedule Mike to come on to do the special, the whole thing doesn't have to be about like, Oh, you know, I did hear you talking to Lisa Trager about me.
Guest:And then it's like, okay, that's the thing now.
Marc:Right, right, right.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:It diffuses the whole thing.
Marc:So it doesn't, it's not a bomb that goes off.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:And, you know, what you guys were saying, like, yeah, comics love to talk shit.
Marc:Dude, everyone loves to talk shit.
Marc:That's right.
Marc:That was on White Lotus.
Marc:The girls were talking shit behind one another.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:Like, the brothers were talking shit behind the sister's back.
Marc:It's like, everyone loves to talk shit.
Marc:It's just what we as humans do.
Guest:I saw that Mike White said he based those three women on three actual women he saw at, I don't remember if it was a restaurant or if he was at a hotel or something, but he was somewhere and there was a collection of three women, three friends who were talking.
Guest:And every time one would get up to go like use the bathroom or leave the area wherever they were, where there was a table or I forget.
Guest:But he said the two that were there would talk about the one that had left.
Guest:Then when that one came back, someone else would get up and then the two that were remaining would talk about that one.
Guest:And he was just fascinated by the dynamic of like this triangle that was constantly, you know, like sniping at it from within itself.
Guest:And, and, but then when it was three together, it was all totally fine.
Guest:Yeah.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:And like, that's kind of human.
Marc:I'm sorry.
Marc:It is what we basically do, you know, like it's what my mom does.
Marc:God bless her.
Marc:And, you know, it's just a very human thing.
Guest:Right.
Guest:But then the problem is when you're doing it in a situation like a podcast, it's not private.
Guest:You're doing it to everyone.
Guest:And not only are you doing it in front of everybody, it's not like someone's just eavesdropping on you.
Guest:It's basically this is now your stage show.
Guest:You are doing a show.
Guest:It'd be like if you were like, OK, I am selling tickets to a show.
Guest:Please come see it.
Guest:And it's going to be live airing on television.
Guest:And then you just get up there and you're like, yeah, this guy, I fucking don't like him.
Guest:It's like, that's now your show.
Guest:Like, you've decided that this is what you are broadcasting to the world.
Guest:It cannot just be an aside anymore.
Guest:It is, like, I do think Mark forgets that.
Guest:I think it's very easy to forget that in that room.
Marc:Yeah, it's almost like he also forgets.
Marc:Like, you know, kind of like how we talk about, like, you know, you get the moment because there's no one else there.
Marc:And it's just, like, two people talking.
Marc:Mark, the host, also forgets that.
Guest:For you.
Guest:For sure.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:And yeah, it's good that you you told him, hey, you should probably give Mike a heads up.
Marc:I love that he didn't exactly give him a heads up.
Marc:He would like told him like a day later.
Marc:He was like, yeah.
Guest:I mean, frankly, like I would have been surprised if he could have told him at any time, because I don't think it was something that was immediately going to get back to Mike.
Guest:But it just was like to cover our bases and make sure that we were doing, you know, if we're not going to cut it out, then let's be above board on it.
Guest:That's how I felt.
Marc:And I feel like you guys have a reputation for being above board.
Marc:So that all works out.
Marc:And I'm excited to hear Mike on the show.
Marc:This should be – I love that Mark's like, for the ninth time.
Marc:Four times.
Marc:This fucking guy back again.
Guest:God, everybody has people like that, though.
Guest:This is your D-bag situation.
Marc:100 100 oh man i i also got a kick out of mark um running into greg from the white lotus and like him like having that i'm just gonna call it a marin moment where it's all about him it's like oh does he not know who i am like should i tell him and like i i just i just thought that was okay but so him
Guest:It's 2025.
Guest:The difference between Mark today and Mark in 2009, 2010, when he was having those same moments on this show, that Mark would have been like, fuck that guy, right?
Guest:Totally.
Guest:2025 mark is like, well, I don't know what's going on.
Guest:His dog might be dead, right?
Marc:It's such an evolution, right?
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:Like, it's like, it's almost a different person.
Guest:I mean, yeah, it's not because he still has the thing.
Guest:Like, he still goes to the first place, but it is growth.
Guest:It is definitely growth.
Guest:Like, I am a firm believer in people not changing.
Guest:I don't think people fundamentally change, but I do believe people grow.
Guest:That's my, that's like my dichotomy with that.
Guest:It's like, you can grow, but you're still like the person you've always been.
Guest:Growth is not change.
Guest:Growth is growth.
Guest:And, and yes, I don't think Mark has changed, but I do think he has grown.
Marc:That's a very wise way to put it.
Marc:I love the two episodes.
Guest:Liza, I want to say.
Guest:Yeah, you said that right.
Guest:Because I didn't, frankly.
Guest:I was calling her Liza the whole time.
Guest:And then I heard her say it in the thing.
Guest:And I got freaked out.
Guest:Because I thought, when I was listening to it to edit it, Mark was recording his intro.
Guest:And I was like, oh no, he's going to say Liza all up and down that intro.
Guest:And then I'm going to get it and I'm going to have to say, can you redo this?
Guest:And I texted him.
Guest:I'm like, just so you know, it's Liza.
Guest:And I didn't hear back from him.
Guest:So I knew he was still recording.
Guest:And...
Guest:And when it was over, he texted me and he was like, yeah, I just did it.
Guest:I know.
Guest:And I was like, oh, good.
Guest:And then I realized like, oh, duh, he knows her name because he's in the clubs.
Guest:Right.
Guest:So if she's getting introduced, he's hearing her introduced by her name.
Guest:Right.
Guest:It's not me who just read her name and goes like, oh, that looks like Liza Minnelli.
Guest:Right.
Guest:So you think it's Liza.
Guest:He's heard it a lot of times.
Guest:So he can actually in his brain just call her what her name is.
Guest:Right, yeah.
Marc:And yeah, that was fun.
Marc:By the way, are callbacks hack in the comedy world?
Marc:Because I always thought it was just like a thing.
Guest:No, I don't think it's hacky.
Guest:I think, you know, if anything, it's...
Guest:it's kind of the accepted norm of the, of the, of the medium of the form.
Guest:It's like, you're going to have a call, like a, like, it's almost like a, it's like judging in the Olympics.
Guest:Like, Oh, that, that triple axel was better than that triple axel.
Guest:Right.
Guest:Like, you know, you do have to really know what you're talking about to judge it.
Guest:But like people who know are like, Ooh, that callback was good.
Guest:Like that was, that was buried deep, you know, that kind of thing.
Marc:Okay, gotcha.
Marc:I really enjoyed Mark's monologue in that episode.
Marc:Mark was talking about the playlist that I made.
Marc:And it was so random because like, I'm just listening to it.
Marc:And like, I'm doing the thing.
Marc:I think it's like from the Breakfast Club where, what is his name?
Marc:Just like me?
Marc:Is he talking about me right now?
Marc:Like, because I did send him the playlist.
Marc:So yeah, that was funny.
Yeah.
Guest:Oh, wait, it was like he said, somebody send me this playlist.
Guest:It was you?
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:I mean, I tagged him in my Instagram story and he reposted it and everything.
Guest:Oh, that's funny.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:So it was a very strange moment where like, oh, no, I think he's talking about me right now.
Marc:That's weird.
Guest:It would have been so much better if he was like, some fucking guy.
Marc:I was totally expecting that.
Marc:I heard it in my head that way.
Marc:But yeah.
Guest:You know what would have been the best?
Marc:What?
Guest:Or worst, is if he was like, because I've heard him do this before, is he'd be like, yeah, this friend, well, it's not really a friend, but this guy.
Yes.
Marc:That would have been the perfect thing.
Marc:I'm going to walk back the friend.
Marc:This guy I used to work with.
Marc:Oh, man.
Marc:That's the stuff that's in my head.
Marc:Jeez, Louis.
Guest:But, you know, it's funny, though, now that you say it, I did notice he like kind of there was like a little pause in how he was telling the story.
Guest:And I didn't think anything of it at the time.
Guest:But I guarantee his thought process in that moment is like that he's going to identify you.
Guest:And then in his head, he's like, oh, if I identify, if I say Chris Lopresto sent this to me, you know, Chris Lopresto, he was a guy I used to work with at Air America and he's on the Friday show now.
Guest:Too much time.
Guest:Like, yeah, do this whole setup of you.
Guest:And so instead of that, he just like cut everything out.
Guest:He's just...
Guest:It's self-edited in the moment.
Marc:Totally.
Marc:100%.
Marc:Speaking of self-editing, that ring notification in your bonus episode, we got to hear that live a couple of times.
Guest:I will say, in the Jessica Kirsten episode, it went off.
Guest:You did not hear it because I cut it out.
Guest:But it went off and he was like, hang on, let me turn that off.
Guest:And I was like, yes!
Guest:LAUGHTER
Marc:Two arms in the air.
Marc:That's great.
Marc:That episode, I mean, first of all, just hearing Mark talk about like, you know, Gmail and like moving stuff to spam and everything.
Guest:Oh, yeah.
Marc:Really, really hit me right there.
Marc:You know, like feel very similar.
Guest:Who do I even call about this?
Guest:Google.
Marc:I trashed all my email.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:When he mentioned calling Google, dude, it reminded me of Easter when I picked up my mom to go out to my in-laws.
Marc:And she was just telling me this story, this just mom story, where she's like, well, these people were calling me.
Marc:I wasn't receiving it.
Marc:So they're mad at me that I didn't pick up.
Marc:So I called...
Marc:apple or no you know you know she was like oh i was thinking about calling apple or verizon i call verizon and they told me to like shut off my phone and this and this and i'm just like i can't believe people are actually picking up my mom's calls on like verizon or whoever and like the fact that my mom is like questioning should i call apple like get me tim yeah
Marc:They're not coming through.
Marc:And then at the very end, she's like, what do you think?
Marc:Did I get a bad phone or like a fake phone?
Marc:And I'm like, mom, I was with you when we purchased this phone from the Apple store.
Marc:You think that they sold you a fake Apple phone?
Guest:At least there's some skepticism there.
Guest:I mean, it's totally wrong, but the worst is the senior person who's like, this nice man called me up and he just needs me to go buy him $500 worth of Amazon gift cards to verify my account.
Guest:That's totally...
Marc:Oh, man.
Marc:My mom also – I realized on the drive – and by the way, the entire time I'm driving, there are times when my mom's talking and I want to pull a ladybird, but like I'm the one driving.
Marc:You're driving.
Guest:Yeah, so – That would just kill everyone.
Kill everyone.
Marc:Innocent people.
Marc:I'm thinking like a pole.
Marc:If I just go straight, it'll be fine.
Marc:But she's telling me this story.
Marc:It's just so much shit where her doctor says that she's weak, so she needs to take creatine.
Marc:And so my brother sends her a clip of Joe Rogan talking about creatine and the creatine that he takes.
Marc:And then the way my mom says Joe Rogan's name,
Marc:As if she's talking about a friend.
Marc:She says, and Joe is saying that he takes it.
Marc:It crushed me.
Marc:As if I was being crushed by one of those things that crushes cars.
Marc:I was devastated.
Guest:Chris is a cube.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:My brother and my mom, like, talk about Joe Rogan privately to one another.
Guest:But that's no different than, you know, 30 years ago, somebody's grandpa who's like, oh, well, Rush was saying.
Marc:Yes.
Marc:Oh, 100%.
Marc:And I'm still crushed about that as well.
Marc:But we're on the phone with my sister-in-law.
Marc:And she's mentioning that her kid is sick.
Marc:And my mom interrupts her saying, oh, I got to get him some black seed oil.
Marc:And I'm just like, you know what?
Marc:This is why I don't care for the walnut oil talk.
Marc:Because it just reminds me of my mom and this fucking weird shit that she's into.
Marc:So yeah, it just stems from that.
Marc:And it's so weird how I can't stand anything that my mom is into.
Marc:And like, whereas, look, I'm an adult.
Marc:I can see the things that I have acquired from my parents.
Marc:And like, hopefully there's not too much from my mom's, you know, stuff.
Marc:For lack of a better term.
Marc:But like for my dad, I was telling my wife, I was like, I collect movies.
Marc:That's something he did.
Marc:Like I like movies.
Marc:I like the Mets.
Marc:He also liked the Mets.
Marc:So like there's a lot of things that he has brought into my life.
Marc:Yeah, good things.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:And I've sort of filtered out all the other bullshit that is not part of my life.
Marc:At least I hope, you know.
Marc:But yeah.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:It just, it was a very sobering experience and very sobering.
Marc:I'm still not drinking.
Marc:And I was thinking like, I might want to get a drink during this Easter Sunday, but I did not.
Guest:Well, I mean, I applaud you for your steadfastness there.
Guest:But it's funny that this comes up the same time Mark in that episode with Jessica Kirsten was talking about how
Guest:he, it's funny because like, I didn't realize until he said it that like,
Guest:And consciously, he has put a lot of stuff on his dad throughout the years in terms of like his own dysfunction and drawing it up as like, you know, diagramming it.
Guest:Where did it come from?
Guest:I think if you were just a listener to the show, let alone like someone like me who he talks to personally, you'd come away with the picture of like, oh, well, Mark's dad really fucked him up.
Guest:And his mom, you know, was not...
Guest:tremendously supportive.
Guest:Right.
Guest:And I thought it was interesting that he's, and it's probably just through work he's been doing.
Guest:He's like, I think it's more that they, it was easily identifiable what the issues were with my dad, that he, you know, it's bipolar guy, you know, so you'd have mania and then you have times of withdrawing and it was all kind of caused chaos and disruption and,
Guest:But you could identify it.
Guest:You could spot what it was.
Guest:Whereas I think that my mom just did a fucking total psychic number on me.
Guest:And it's so deep and cutting that I've pushed it all down and I can't even deal with it now.
Guest:Right?
Guest:Right.
Guest:I think that's probably true for like, it's not just people and their parents.
Guest:I think that's like probably true for most people and their deepest hangups.
Guest:They come from something that you're totally ignoring, you know, like that, that you, that's, that,
Guest:as self-aware as you think you are, unless you are, you have reached total kind of Zen enlightenment and an ability to kind of let go of everything.
Guest:You're probably going to miss the thing that is causing you the most, let's say consternation, uh, at best.
Um,
Guest:Because it's too hard to access the thing that's actually the cause.
Guest:Yeah.
Marc:And it's just too deep, right?
Guest:Yes.
Guest:Too deep and too painful and too everything.
Guest:There's two.
Guest:Put two in front of anything and it's that.
Marc:Right.
Marc:And I think Mark identified that like, hey, my mom, eating disorder, you know, got me, you know, on an eating disorder.
Marc:That's the one thing I feel like he—
Marc:You know, he recognizes from his mom.
Marc:But, yeah, it's – man, it's so important and so hard to be a parent.
Marc:And it's so easy to fuck up a kid's life, man.
Marc:Like, it is – it always, you know, boggles my mind.
Guest:Well, I've always said – you know, I remember saying this to my kid when he was really little.
Guest:And there was some, like – we were listening to some, like –
Guest:kid song that, you know, it was like on an album of children's songs.
Guest:And there was a song called like, I'm not perfect.
Guest:And it was about like, you know, don't feel bad about your mistakes or whatnot.
Guest:And I remember he was like three years old or even younger.
Guest:And I was like, Hey, this song is good because this is about everybody.
Guest:It's not just you.
Guest:It's mommy and daddy.
Guest:And like everybody, nobody's perfect.
Guest:People make mistakes and they're trying their best.
Guest:That's the best thing you can hope for is trying your best.
Guest:And, uh, and,
Guest:I remember it like a day later.
Guest:What did he say?
Guest:I was, I walk out into the living room and he was like across the room, but close to where I walked in the door.
Guest:He had just completely disassembled something and left it scattered all over the floor.
Guest:And I was like, Owen, what?
Guest:what is this over here?
Guest:And he way across the room on the other side of the room, like goes, I'm not perfect.
Guest:And walked away.
Guest:And then he like a, like a, like a sitcom or like a, a stage joke to re-entered my frame.
Guest:Like he, he had walked around the corner in the living room and then he comes back in and he goes, but I tried my best and then left again.
Marc:Amazing.
Marc:It's like he literally tapped the side.
Marc:Yes.
Guest:I remember in that moment, I was like, oh, dude, I'm in fucking trouble, man.
Marc:Did you break?
Marc:Did you laugh?
Guest:I didn't laugh, but I did kind of bite my lip and was like, I'm fucking toast.
Guest:This is going to be the death of me.
Yeah.
Marc:What a funny kid.
Guest:God damn.
Guest:Owen's the best.
Guest:Well, there is a question here for Owen.
Guest:It's really for us, but I could give and the part of it that's addressed to Owen, I can answer for you.
Guest:This is a person wrote in.
Guest:to say, my nine-year-old daughter loves stand-up.
Guest:Can you recommend a stand-up that is semi-age appropriate?
Guest:Her favorites are people who talk about kids.
Guest:She has two moms and she likes queer family stuff, but we're open to anyone who doesn't talk too much about sex.
Guest:Cussing is okay.
Guest:We've burned through Tig Notaro, Nate Bargetzi, and Fortune Feimster.
Guest:Back in the day, my dad watched Cosby with me, who would have been perfect if he didn't have his history.
Guest:Right.
Guest:And this person asks, maybe Owen has some recommendations.
Guest:So I know who, I mean, very clearly, I can tell you, Owen's favorite comedian.
Guest:And it has been for a very long time.
Guest:I think probably since he was about six or seven, we let him listen to this.
Guest:And it's...
Guest:It will work for any kid because he's totally clean comic, but hilarious.
Guest:In fact, when Mark had him on the show, Mark said, you know, this is one of the guys that people like me consider one of the great comics.
Guest:And that's Brian Regan.
Guest:And Brian Regan's comedy is...
Guest:just there's, it's very hard to describe because like Jim Gaffigan, you can kind of describe Jim Gaffigan.
Guest:Oh, he's like a, you know, middle-aged every man.
Guest:He's trying to live his life with all these kids and he makes mundane observations.
Guest:Like there's a little a Seinfeld in him, but then also a lot of like, you know, Ray Romano family stuff.
Guest:And then he's always doing that, like, you know, questioning voice within himself, you know, the like subconscious voice where he gets high pitched and just,
Guest:Jim's very definable.
Guest:I have a hard time defining what Brian Regan is other than just incredibly funny and a fast mind that thinks of things you would not think of yourself.
Guest:I think that's why kids like him so much.
Guest:I think kids like him because...
Guest:he does that thing that I remember comedians doing.
Guest:Probably Cosby is a good example.
Guest:And definitely for me, George Carlin, who I was probably listening to too young, but, but still loved and loved the records.
Guest:And then remember watching him when he was on HBO.
Guest:And what I remember those guys doing were saying things where I then was like, Whoa, that's thinking like that guy thought of that.
Guest:And it was a, it was an exciting thing for me to feel like you could put,
Guest:thoughts together in a funny way that were humorous and illuminating.
Guest:And I think that's the crystal thing about Brian Regan.
Guest:But at the same time, he does crazy voices and crazy faces and like, you know, is like...
Guest:human cartoon, rubber-faced guy.
Guest:So they like that as well.
Guest:He does have, I can't tell you exactly which albums they are, but he definitely does have stuff about his family and his kids.
Guest:Funny, funny stuff about his kids.
Guest:So I will echo Owen's recommendation and say, Brian Regan, absolutely.
Guest:It's not stuff about queer families.
Guest:And I was trying to think about, do I know anybody who does that in a clean way?
Guest:And like,
Guest:Every time I started thinking about somebody, I'm like, ooh, that person's stuff gets very dicey, like Wanda Sykes.
Guest:Like, I don't think I would be playing that for a nine-year-old.
Guest:But maybe somebody else has other recommendations.
Guest:Good comedy for a nine-year-old who seems already into comedy.
Guest:So I'd love to hear from you.
Guest:If you want to click on the link in the episode description there, we have our comment section that you can go put anything and send it to us.
Marc:Would Mitch Hedberg be a comedian or even like Mike Bibiglia?
Guest:Well, Mike, Mike, you know what the different thing is for Mike, I think is too long form for a really young kid.
Guest:You're right.
Guest:Like these are, these are stories you have to pay attention to, but Mitch Hedberg,
Guest:Mitch and Stephen Wright is another one who are great for just like jokes, funny jokes.
Guest:Like the way that maybe somebody like Mark was into Rodney Dangerfield, right?
Guest:Like you could get, you know, just because he would do jokes.
Guest:Same with Mitch.
Guest:And thinking about Mitch, like that's a good definition of somebody who's like, he doesn't talk about like...
Guest:sexual or explicit stuff at all.
Guest:And the cursing is like very mild and actually fun.
Guest:Like, you know, just every now and then you get a shit or something like that.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Uh, Mitch is a good one.
Guest:Um, and, and like I said, Steven, right.
Guest:I was trying to think about, uh, people that I thought was, were funny when I was a kid that were like appropriate for kids, not George Carlin, but like, uh, Sinbad was one of them.
Guest:I loved Sinbad's comedy.
Guest:Uh, I loved Larry Miller.
Guest:Uh,
Guest:who i you know i'd remember i would you know you absolutely know who larry miller is because you you know him as an actor like he's in he's in so much stuff uh but he started out as a comic and he you know his his stage act was great um you might the thing you probably remember most from was like the episode of seinfeld where he's the doorman and oh okay yeah yeah you know exactly who that is then
Guest:Yes, he's in like the Christopher Guest movies and The Nutty Professor.
Guest:So yes, you know Larry Miller for sure.
Guest:There was a WTF behind the scenes question from Leon.
Guest:And Leon wanted to know, what's the closest to a Monday or Thursday that an episode was being worked on or delayed before it had to be uploaded?
Guest:Have there been any episodes that had to be pulled last minute and substituted for something else?
Guest:To answer the last question, no, we've never had to pull an episode and substitute something else.
Guest:We have had situations where we do this rarely because we don't want this to happen.
Guest:But we have had situations where a guest was booked and had to be on like a certain date, like a Thursday.
Guest:Right.
Guest:But they weren't going to do the interview until like Tuesday.
Guest:Right.
Guest:And I remember this really, I'm saying it guests plural, but I really only remember this happening with ice cube because we really tried to avoid it.
Guest:Like we don't like to announce the names of the guests on Monday, which we do and not have that Thursday show already recorded.
Guest:Like sometimes you'll see like in Mark's email, he'll say, you know, and on, on Thursday show, I'm supposed to be talking with so-and-so it hasn't happened yet.
Guest:That's rare, but it's happened.
Guest:Like I remember Kristen Wiig was someone we agreed to do that with.
Guest:And Ice Cube was one who eventually was on the show.
Guest:But at that moment, he canceled like on his Tuesday booking.
Guest:And both Mark and I were like, yep, that's why we don't typically do that.
Guest:We don't like to announce these guests that haven't already been recorded.
Guest:But but I can't think of anyone that we ever had to pull.
Guest:I can remember two instances very distinctly that pertain to the other question you asked, Leon, which is that there was one time I sat down to edit an episode with John Hodgman.
Guest:And I pressed play and it was not John Hodgman.
Guest:It was Joe Mandy, which was an episode we had already done.
Guest:Oh, no.
Guest:So I said to Mark, you somehow sent me Joe Mandy again, but it was labeled Hodgman.
Guest:And he went trying to find it and he had fucked it.
Guest:It's one of the rare occasions where he actually lost the episode.
Guest:So we had to redo John Hodgman episode.
Guest:Wow.
Guest:And, and I, I scrambled and just took whatever, like the next one was going to be on the list.
Guest:And it was one of being Bobby Lee.
Guest:And I, I just did that one at that time, but like, we had to record, rerecord the intro because he had just sent me an intro for John Hodgman and everything.
Guest:So that one was one where we scrambled at the last minute.
Guest:I do remember one time, and I never did this again, was that I had a trip scheduled, a wedding in Buffalo.
Guest:And I was supposed to, you know, Saturday wedding in Buffalo.
Guest:And I was going to fly back on Sunday and do the show Sunday night.
Guest:And we got our flight got canceled and we did not get booked on a flight back until Monday morning.
Guest:And I had nothing with me.
Guest:So like that show just wasn't going up.
Guest:And it was Gilbert Gottfried was the guest.
Guest:Okay.
Guest:So that's the one time.
Guest:that the show got delayed until like noon on Monday.
Marc:Oh, wow.
Marc:Was there like a big kerfuffle about it?
Guest:I don't think so.
Guest:It's like, you know, here's what I would say.
Guest:I'm sure there were tons of like emails and
Guest:social media mentions of like, where's the show?
Guest:It didn't come up today.
Guest:I paid attention to none of that because I was busy doing it.
Guest:Right.
Guest:So I think I just said to Mark, like, you know, Hey, you're going to have to deal with the little, you know, like he put a, he put something out and we, we had a travel problem and we're going to get to show up.
Guest:Like, so there wasn't a thing addressing it, but it, it, we had to wait until, you know, later that day to put it up.
Guest:Uh, in the early days, Mark and I were talking about this recently, frankly, that there were, there were times when,
Guest:the infrastructure was still not great on like podcast ingestion.
Guest:And, you know, we'd wake up Monday morning and the episode wouldn't be posted.
Guest:And by no reason, no fault of our own, it was just like something didn't catch the,
Guest:The RSS, you know, it didn't get ingested.
Guest:And we'd have to ping Apple.
Guest:There was literally this button.
Guest:You'd go into iTunes and into like your podcast section, like where you submit your podcast and everything.
Guest:And you just have to click this button.
Guest:That was like ping iTunes to let them know you're manually letting them know you have a new episode as opposed to the RSS feed doing it automatically.
Guest:And it would work maybe within the next 30 seconds or it could work five hours from now.
Guest:You did not know.
Guest:So you just had to keep clicking it.
Guest:That's crazy.
Guest:You looked at your phone or whatever and you're like, okay, there it is.
Guest:It was so annoying.
Guest:Wow.
Marc:So it seems so arcane.
Marc:Oh, God, so much was.
Marc:So much was.
Marc:It has changed so much even since then.
Guest:That's crazy.
Guest:Yeah, we used to like, you know, we were on this hosting service called Libsyn.
Guest:Like I used to call the guy who like ran it.
Guest:And I'd be like, what the fuck are fucking episodes now?
Marc:What do we do?
Marc:What episode did you have to call him about?
Marc:It was Chris Rock.
Marc:Oh, wow.
Guest:Like we had promoted it.
Guest:It was a big deal.
Guest:Oh, wow.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:You know, I wake up at like seven in the morning already to like 30 messages that are like, where's the episode?
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:that is just not a good way to start the day.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:Yeah.
Guest:No, I do not miss those times.
Guest:Those are all gone because like there's, there's no problem with the automation anymore, but yeah, that was, that was no fun.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Uh, Chris,
Guest:you might want to chime in on this.
Guest:This came from Joe, uh, who said listening to the latest episode and gathered you were from the Albany area.
Guest:My wife and I are taking a vacation to the Hudson Valley Adirondacks in June.
Guest:Our friends live in New York city and they want to get out for a week, but have a two year old.
Guest:So they wanted to do something with a close drive.
Guest:So now, okay.
Guest:Close drive.
Guest:I think when you're talking about upstate New York, like close drive is like to like Westchester County.
Guest:Cause that's like an hour, an hour and a half away.
Guest:Mm-hmm.
Guest:if you're talking about the Albany area, that's like three hours.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:It's a big state.
Guest:Yes.
Marc:Shockingly.
Guest:But if you don't mind doing that three to four hour drive or three hour drive, stop somewhere, stay somewhere, do another hour somewhere else in that direction, then yes, you can do some things up in that part of the state.
Guest:And you had met, you had asked about some things, Joe, I saw, you know, you mentioned Cooperstown, like before you mentioned it, that was going to be, I was going to say, Hey, especially if you have a little kid, even a two year old,
Guest:Cooperstown is really fun because the town is fun to walk around in.
Guest:You go into the museum, the Hall of Fame, there's stuff everywhere that you don't have to like baseball.
Guest:It's a very visually stimulating museum and a fun place.
Guest:I just highly recommend going to Cooperstown.
Guest:But...
Guest:The benefit of Cooperstown is there's a town about an hour away.
Guest:It's called Roxbury.
Guest:And if you go to theroxburyexperience.com, there is this hotel, really like a motel and bungalows that I have stayed in and have stayed in for no reason other than I was like visiting my family.
Guest:And I was like, I want to go to this new Roxbury place.
Guest:It is this almost like...
Guest:set designed hotel where the rooms are all themed to like like there's a wizard of oz theme room and it looks just like you know the wizard of oz there's a star trek theme room there's a there's one that looks like the flintstones there's uh there's one that looks like the partridge family there's one that looks like maria's room in the sound of music
Guest:You got to go look at the pictures on the website is really fantastically done.
Guest:These two guys who I think they have some kind of theater background and that's why it looks so great.
Guest:And there were two locations.
Guest:There's one location that has all these themed rooms.
Guest:Then there's another location where you could kind of like stay in these little bungalow houses that are also super cool.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:that place is you know like i said about an hour uh away from cooperstown um probably a good three hours from the city but still a great uh little off the beaten path kind of place to stay nice cute town that it's in with you know hikes if you want to do them and waterfalls and stuff so that would be my recommendation for a short trip outside of the new york if you want to go uh up and explore upstate new york uh i would recommend saratoga springs i love saratoga springs it's
Marc:It's a delightful little, you know, city and a lot of charm to it.
Marc:There are, you know, horse races during the summer.
Marc:So, you know, a lot of people go there for that.
Marc:I think there's also like racing or something that happens.
Guest:There's a speedway.
Marc:Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Marc:Right, right.
Marc:And just like a lot of parks and a lot of good food and you really can't go wrong.
Guest:That's like premium B&B culture there.
Guest:Like everything's like a little inn.
Guest:It's like the little house in Groundhog's Day that he stays in.
Guest:Like that's like everywhere in Saratoga Springs.
Guest:Yeah, very cute little streets to walk on with shopping and restaurants.
Guest:And yeah, I like the horse races.
Guest:I mean-
Guest:I know some people object to them and, and I understand, but, um, as a part of kind of like the culture up there, uh, it's very fun.
Guest:You, you know, it's, it's fun.
Guest:It was even fun.
Guest:Like when I was young to like go there with my parents and it's like, here's $2.
Guest:I'm going to bet this on these horses.
Guest:And you know, it's fun.
Guest:You know, it's like, it's not like a slot machine.
Guest:It's like, you know, you're, you're actually sitting there.
Guest:It's like, you're paying your ticket to watch this race.
Guest:And maybe it's,
Guest:the race will benefit and you'll turn that $2 into six, you know?
Marc:And if not, oh, who cares?
Guest:That was the price of admission.
Marc:I'm watching some beautiful animals like, you know, run around a track.
Marc:And yeah, there's also like a children's museum there.
Marc:There's like, there's a ton of stuff.
Marc:So yeah, that's what I would recommend.
Marc:Also you got that Saratoga, you know, a seltzer.
Marc:Do you ever, have you seen that guy?
Marc:You probably haven't seen this guy.
Marc:There's a guy on like,
Marc:I don't even know, like TikTok or Twitter, but he has like a morning regimen where he like wakes up at four o'clock in the morning.
Marc:Yeah, that's right.
Marc:You probably don't know at all what I'm talking about.
Marc:No clue.
Marc:It's this guy.
Guest:Wait, is this the guy with the tape on his mouth?
Guest:Yes.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Okay.
Guest:I've seen, I've, I, I, I declared bankruptcy on whatever he was doing.
Guest:It's like, don't care.
Guest:Don't need to know it.
Guest:But I do know that he is oft parodied now.
Guest:Like I see other people do.
Guest:I saw the Rizzler do it.
Marc:Oh, okay.
Marc:Mr. Met's done it as well.
Marc:But basically, Saratoga Springs water, seltzer, he dunks his head in ice-cold Saratoga Springs water with lemons.
Marc:And that's how he starts his morning, after he rips the tape off of his face for some reason.
Guest:He needs his head dunked in something else.
Yeah.
Marc:I mean, he's a life coach.
Marc:That's just a whole, you know, you know, ball.
Guest:Might as well have three cards on the subway and tell you to find the aces.
Guest:Yes.
Um,
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Mm-hmm.
Guest:I think it's still my favorite of Aronofsky's movies.
Guest:I think that's true.
Guest:I agree.
Guest:And he said, I'm going to Vegas soon and we'll check out his movie at the Sphere.
Guest:It better be visually amazing for the ticket price of over $100.
Guest:Wait, what movie is $100 and it's showing at the Sphere?
Guest:Yes.
Guest:When the sphere is in like downtime, when there's not a concert there, they run a film that's directed by Darren Aronofsky.
Guest:No kidding.
Guest:Like a nature film, basically.
Guest:Like landscapes and vistas and you're on the Serengeti and shit like that.
Guest:And it's just to utilize the full scope of the sphere.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:And yeah, it costs like a hundred dollars.
Guest:I did know it was expensive.
Guest:I did not look up the actual price, but I had heard it was crazy expensive.
Marc:That is that is wild.
Marc:Wait, wait, I'm sorry.
Marc:I have to go back.
Marc:Darren Aronofsky.
Marc:I liked pie.
Marc:Wrecking for a Dream.
Marc:The Fountain.
Marc:Nope.
Marc:Nope.
Marc:The Wrestler.
Marc:Good.
Marc:Good.
Guest:Not great.
Marc:That's the problem with the Wrestler.
Marc:Black Swan, I really enjoyed that.
Guest:That's good.
Guest:Black Swan's very good.
Marc:I really enjoyed that.
Marc:I think that might be my favorite of his because then he does- I agree now.
Guest:Yeah.
Marc:Noah?
Marc:I don't know.
Marc:No, no way.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:And then Mother, which- Never got through it.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:And The Whale, which no.
Guest:The less said, the better.
Marc:Yes.
Marc:That first seed is a wild one.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:Oh, yeah.
Marc:Postcard from Earth.
Marc:You know, I'm going to say Black Swan is my favorite.
Guest:I agree.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Now that you mentioned it, I although I don't know, like it's it's another one where I'm like, I'm not rushing back to see it.
Marc:No, no.
Marc:It's like a horror movie, you know?
Guest:And like, yeah, it's also, it's like once you've gone through it, I don't like, I, I get the arc and there's some nice work done by everyone in it, but like, and it's, you know, it's really well done, but I just don't have any pull to watch it again.
Guest:Yeah, same with The Wrestler, too, right?
Guest:Yeah, The Wrestler, like, it has me slightly on the edge of, like, being like, well, part of this isn't good, right?
Guest:Like, I have issues with it as a film, particularly just because I, you know, I'm so immersed in the wrestling world, right?
Guest:Mm-hmm.
Guest:Um, and it does some things in it very well, but not fully.
Guest:Yeah.
Marc:And I remember really liking pie, but I haven't gone back to it.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Same.
Guest:I wonder if I liked it just because of like the, the kind of way it was talked up at the time.
Guest:Like, Oh, this movie costs 10 cents and it's great.
Guest:You should watch it.
Guest:And this guy's going to have a big career.
Guest:And, you know, I remember like at that era getting all hyped up for things like that.
Guest:Um, yeah, totally films.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:Yeah, that was like me with Chris Nolan with Following.
Marc:And I think it was the same year.
Marc:I was like, oh, look.
Marc:I think you're right.
Marc:There's these up and coming guys that are doing some shit.
Marc:And yeah, I think that's like the wave that I was in when those movies came out.
Guest:Speaking of the wrestling world, Ramon wrote back into us and did send his picture of him as Razor Ramon, which is quite delightful.
Guest:But Ramon also sent a present day photo where he is not dressed as a wrestler, but...
Guest:I noticed, yes, Ramon, my eye was keen to notice that the pullover he's wearing is a Will Ospreay pullover.
Guest:So it's good to know that that has never left.
Guest:And Ramon also, I would like to shout out his work, which is on joys.bandcamp.com.
Guest:Ramon is an artist and songwriter and poet.
Guest:And I very much appreciate you interacting with us here on the show.
Guest:And everyone can go check out
Guest:his stuff.
Marc:That's awesome.
Marc:And I gotta say, great choice with the Osprey.
Marc:Like, I, as an adult, it is hard to pull the trigger on, like, a wrestling merch.
Guest:Especially because, like, you're not gonna wear it anywhere but wrestling merch.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:Although I did, I did recently buy, uh, AEW had a like 24 hour sale or whatever of like Hangman Adam Page.
Marc:Uh, he had like a special like limited edition shirt that looked really cool and I could wear it without, you know, it has, it doesn't have him on it.
Marc:It's just like, you know, really cool imagery.
Marc:So I picked that up.
Guest:So is that the one that's like, it's like flowers and a boot and stuff?
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:It does not look like a wrestling shirt.
Marc:Exactly.
Marc:So I was like, I think I can I can get away with this.
Guest:That's great.
Guest:One more actual wrestling question here.
Guest:This is from an unnamed person that says, as you two are wrestling fans, what is the turn to get us out of this presidential heel narrative?
Guest:Honestly, curious if you have thoughts on how it plays out.
Guest:I'm not expecting political analysis, but I thought it might be a fun take on our current nightmare.
Guest:Coffin match.
Guest:coffee match coffee match yes but at this time he does not come back no no you nail that shut here's what I would say to this person though I want you to understand something this you have to understand this about wrestling um
Guest:Um, wrestling outside of WWF and WWE later, um, is largely driven business of the, the business of wrestling is largely driven by the heel being on top.
Guest:It really only because of Vince McMahon senior and then his, and then his son, the Vince McMahon who took WWF national that, uh,
Guest:good guys running the territory was thought to be a thing.
Guest:Like Vince senior had Bruno San Martino as his guy.
Guest:And then obviously younger Vince had Hulk Hogan.
Guest:And then, then the Hulk Hogan became like a template for top wrestlers, right?
Guest:Okay.
Guest:You're going to have your baby face that people love watching him vanquish all the monsters and they'll pay their ticket to come see that.
Guest:That was very rare.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:The actual template for wrestling was heel on top, who was on top forever.
Guest:And it would take forever to knock him off the top.
Guest:And then finally, somebody like Dusty Rhodes would come by, the working man, the common man, you know, and he'd have all these roadblocks in his way and it would take him a year or more.
Guest:And then he'd finally get that match with Ric Flair that he always wanted and he would beat him and it would be great.
Guest:And then he would like lose the belt like a month later.
Guest:because they did not want these baby faces on top.
Guest:They wanted the chase.
Guest:That was where the money was.
Guest:The money was in the chase.
Guest:And so in wrestling terms, what's going on right now is actually pretty normal.
Guest:Like this is what it would be in wrestling terms.
Guest:The heel is in charge, right?
Guest:And he looks unbeatable.
Guest:There's literally a wrestling storyline going on right now where it's like this.
Guest:Every month people are like, why are they not beating this guy?
Guest:Like they're so mad that this Jon Moxley character still is the champion because he's a heel and he beats down, he cheats and he beats down all the baby faces.
Guest:And one day...
Guest:everyone will go nuts when this guy when this guy gets beat and probably the guy we were just talking about will osprey becomes the champion like it's gonna take that and that's how you're gonna feel like oh we got out of it now unfortunately i have a lot of cynicism in myself and i don't know that reality will play out like fiction but
Guest:But there's kind of like a built in wrestling heel structure to the fact that you're supposed to wait four years until the next election.
Guest:And so that will build up.
Guest:It will build up.
Guest:It will build up.
Guest:And hopefully you get a baby face who can take down this heel and it will feel great.
Guest:That is if we're allowed to have elections, which I'm still not sure about.
Marc:Exactly.
Marc:Yeah.
Marc:They'll just, they'll declare that there are no matches, more matches.
Guest:It'll be the Montreal Screwjob, but on America.
Marc:Exactly.
Marc:Maybe AOC.
Marc:Come on, AOC.
Guest:Somebody, any fucking anybody.
Guest:Anyone.
Guest:I'll take a potted plant.
Guest:uh listen i got so much stuff in from people about new orleans so i will um get back to that at another time when we have some more time to get into it but people sent in fantastic stuff steven i wanted to shout you out personally because you sent you sent something that frankly i was pissed that you didn't send it to me before i went
Guest:It was like just an incredible itinerary.
Guest:But anyone who sent New Orleans stuff in, I feel like we could do that at a different time because there was a lot to get into.
Guest:So thank you to everybody who sent stuff in, whether it was New Orleans or anything.
