Never not funny. On a Monday, you

1:59

listen on a Wednesday, maybe a Thursday, maybe pick

2:01

it up a week later at I do your podcast

2:04

listening, but I gotta imagine that we're first on the

2:06

docket. And if we're not lying in me in an

2:08

email and say that we are, I mean, you you know,

2:10

I I don't need an email that says, you're one of the

2:12

first. It's you and Conan and Scott Orkman.

2:14

I just I don't need another information. I'm

2:17

good to go with the one You know what I

2:18

mean? Did you see the, you know, at the end

2:20

of the year, some apps tell you

2:22

what your top podcasts were --

2:23

I see. -- people were

2:24

posting theirs with never not funny.

2:26

Very satisfying

2:28

responses. It's nice to see

2:30

that, but again, you might see one that

2:32

has Tube ahead of us. Somehow

2:34

that is I'm doing a bit

2:35

Yeah. -- hurting, obviously. But I will tell you, it

2:37

didn't bother me. It it I still felt very flattered,

2:39

like, that's

2:40

nice that we're in the top four. Whatever the number is.

2:42

It's nice just to be invited to the party. Yeah.

2:45

Well, we welcome you in on a on

2:47

a February, week here, early

2:49

February. Lots to talk about,

2:52

but very quickly before because it's top

2:54

mine. And if I don't say it now, I I will forget

2:56

it. You have an appointment Monday?

2:58

No.

2:58

Tomorrow at nine AM. I've already it's in it's

3:01

in the Okay. Good.

3:02

It's on the because my dad is dad calls

3:04

his phone. It's in the jukebox.

3:07

And I love it. That's a better name for it than

3:09

phone because I barely uses a phone. It's not phone

3:11

anymore. Yes. I got Let me put it in the juke. And

3:13

then, of course, he's like, he's like, yeah. He goes with

3:15

the juke. And

3:18

somebody pointed out by I think was Jeremy Herbert pointed out

3:20

by the way that III misspoke the other

3:22

day. I do I at

3:24

home or off the air, I do do this,

3:26

but I failed to do it on the latest episode.

3:29

I called Whole Foods Whole Whole

3:31

Foods with yes. And we know that I don't

3:33

do that. You can call the Whole Foods. It's Whole Foods. I go

3:35

to the Whole Foods. And I did not do it on the

3:37

right most recent episode that I apparently, I let

3:39

some people down. Yeah. And by the way, they're

3:41

right. This morning. Yeah. When your hero

3:43

let you

3:44

down, it's disappointing. Well,

3:46

even Even not Lee

3:48

even not Lee falls to the bat. Even I was

3:50

used to looking for a bet. I was even Diaggio

3:53

struck out a few times. So

3:55

You never did. You don't know baseball? He did.

3:57

That's incredible. Yeah. You picked the one I

3:59

picked the one player.

4:01

That's Yeah. So But his batting average was

4:03

a thousand. It well, no. Because he still made out.

4:05

But oh, but just but not

4:07

striking.

4:07

Yeah. His contact rate was low, gosh. So

4:09

he would he would pop up sometimes. Yeah. Pop out.

4:11

He'd fly out. Got it. But he

4:13

never struck so great. I mean, dude,

4:16

it just

4:16

sucks. Of all

4:17

I should've picked the one plan. It was just a

4:19

random name. I was -- No. was trying I was gonna say Kurt

4:21

Gibson, but that's I don't know why I was even

4:23

Well, he's a pitcher.

4:24

No. Yes. No. No. No. No. That's Bob Gibson. Kirk

4:26

Gibson is a guy that doubled around with

4:28

that home run. Yeah. We have to see every

4:31

world series. Mhmm. As

4:33

a reminder from smash, the TV slash smash,

4:35

by the way, that gentleman had to take

4:37

the role. Because it's Joe Demash.

4:41

That's just reminder of it. I was watching Brian

4:44

Cranston was on Hot Ones, and that's

4:46

the show the the Hot

4:47

Wings. Yeah. I believe he's a Chicago guy,

4:49

by the way, that Hot Wings I believe he -- Yes. --

4:51

is originally from Chicago. Sean,

4:53

something. Yeah. Yeah.

4:56

Seems like a smart guy, good at the job. So

4:58

I tell you something. There's a very good chance

5:01

I turned down doing that show ten years

5:03

ago --

5:03

Oh, man. -- because it was it was It would

5:05

be

5:06

great to see you on there.

5:06

It was nothing.

5:07

Yeah. But there was a time when they they had, like,

5:09

comedians and like, wrappers you've never heard

5:12

of and stuff.

5:12

But why would I turn that down? I like hot wings

5:14

-- Yeah. -- and I like talking. Yeah. It's

5:18

it's third step. About me. So

5:20

why would I why would I I don't

5:22

I don't know why I turned it down, but I do know

5:24

that at one point, I was like, when

5:27

I saw it start taking off, it's like, why did

5:29

I turn that Like --

5:29

Yeah. -- but I know I did. Yeah. Cut to

5:32

that guy emails me. No. I never asked you. I think you suck.

5:34

Thank you for your time. think I think Bert Kreisher

5:36

was on there before he like, you know, Bert,

5:38

like, his his big exploded. Yeah. I think it

5:40

was even before that. He was just the guy,

5:42

you know, doing comedy and whatever. Anyway,

5:46

the point of the story was that didn't

5:48

know this, but apparently Brian Cranston I

5:51

don't know if he grew up here, but he he grew up listening

5:53

to Vince Gully. Okay. And so Sean

5:56

asked him, like, what was your what's your do you have a

5:58

favorite Vince Gully call? And

6:00

he said he was, like, well, once

6:02

Kurt Gibson hit hit that home

6:04

run, of course, that became the greatest. And

6:06

I forget what the wording was because, like, the

6:08

improbable has become, the impossible

6:11

or whatever. But he said before that,

6:13

his favorite one was what

6:15

was the picture's name? Valenzuela? Fernando

6:18

Valenzuela. Yeah. Apparently, he pitched

6:20

a no hitter. Vince

6:23

Kelly said. If you have a sombrero,

6:25

throw it to the sky. I

6:27

was like,

6:28

that is the greatest thing I've ever. It's

6:31

kind of racist, but very funny.

6:33

By the way, they were retiring his number this year.

6:35

Oh, cool. The first dodger to

6:37

have his number retired who is not

6:40

in the hall of

6:40

fame. I

6:42

oh, wow. See, my purse because I don't follow

6:44

base. Well, my perception was that guy would

6:46

already be in the hall of fame and already have his number

6:48

retired daughter. Apparently,

6:50

it's a big deal because he's not in the hall of fame. He's

6:52

firstodger.

6:54

But the the somebody made the point in there a hundred

6:56

percent to your point is

6:59

If not him who because I know his name.

7:01

I don't know a lot of things. It's a dodger.

7:03

Yeah.

7:03

It's like a -- Right. --

7:06

you know, and what he meant to this city Mhmm.

7:08

-- with his heritage in the background.

7:12

The anyway,

7:14

I like wings. And if

7:16

they wanna reach out now, I'm more than happy to do the program.

7:18

They should do much like I feel the same

7:20

way about Conan's podcast. They should

7:23

keep doing what you're doing, but then maybe have

7:25

like a side thing where you're like, here are some people who

7:27

aren't big enough to do the

7:28

thing, but we still like them, and we'll put them. We'll do

7:30

this. I'd

7:31

like to just be put in with the people that big enough.

7:33

I don't know why I need to be sides to that. Well, I just

7:35

mean, like, they're clearly not booking people

7:37

who aren't, like, I

7:38

mean, the the crazy like,

7:40

that Hot Ones show has some of the

7:42

biggest celebrities

7:43

Yes. It does. -- and it's it's mind blowing at this

7:45

point because of where they started. But I

7:47

agree. And I The rock was on it.

7:50

Yeah. I think that's what they got when I said,

7:52

no. No. Alright. Go to our second choice.

7:55

What about that wrestler, boss? No. Alright. says

7:57

no go wrestler. Yeah. Anyway,

7:59

very quickly off the top of me before I forget Yeah. --

8:01

I mentioned this on the last episode. There

8:03

has been an art change on

8:05

my tour posters. Pardo,

8:11

has made the change that I wanted originally.

8:15

So they I go to a

8:18

big car at g b part of dot big cartel dot com.

8:20

I believe that's the website or 3124 my website and go

8:22

to merch. The tour poster has been changed

8:24

to make it it is not it

8:26

is no longer album accurate are

8:28

accurate to -- Yeah. -- but it is now where people

8:31

don't have to go. What do you want me to go?

8:34

They could just go, oh, it should be part of his name. So

8:37

please head over there. If if you're

8:38

interested, if you're not interested, don't go over

8:40

there, then there's the course, some other stuff

8:42

available as well. So

8:43

anyway, before I forget that, I dare them to

8:45

not go look at it now that you've I think you have to go

8:47

look at it, and that's why what you said was perfect

8:49

because you've given them enough information to be

8:51

curious, but not enough to satiate their else

8:53

of it? Yeah. And I will tell

8:55

you that after we're mentioning it on the the the

8:58

the players. No. Players Club. The Platinum last

9:01

night's episode, that came out. The

9:03

order started coming in this morning. Sweet. So

9:06

sweet news, sweet pajamas, sweet,

9:09

sweet, Georgia brown. That's

9:19

the only part. I I know there's more of the song. That's

9:21

all I know. Matt Beldep,

9:23

let's discuss this too. First of all, a

9:25

a couple of things. You're back to having your Johnny Neutron

9:27

here. And I'm gonna

9:29

listen. It looks great. Thank you. I I wanted to say

9:32

that in advance. Mhmm. I was enjoying

9:35

Pardo, Matt. I I I'm

9:38

not against it. It may go back to that. I got

9:40

a haircut not with the intention of doing

9:42

this again. But then I

9:44

was and I'm sure you're gonna get into the suit. III

9:46

went out last night and I saw I should I

9:48

should get gussied up for 3124

9:51

And you think that's more gusky than having it parted

9:53

like a gentleman? I do. For for I

9:55

went to the

9:56

Grammy. Went to the Grammy's. And I feel like if you're going

9:58

to the Grammy's, you kinda have to peacock a little

10:00

bit it's it's it's the it's the world

10:02

of rock and roll and and

10:03

You're also trying to look younger. Okay.

10:05

Sure. By going there with his hair.

10:07

And as everyone else at the Grammy's

10:09

who Boy, they were now you and I

10:11

both have tickets to go see you madonna. Yeah.

10:14

But boy, the morning radio

10:16

today was apparently,

10:18

this was her first live appearance

10:21

in long time. Yeah. And her appearance

10:23

was shocking to

10:24

most. Mhmm. Would you agree with that?

10:26

Well, Jimmy, I could see

10:28

3124 blob in the shape of

10:30

madonna.

10:31

Wait. Wait. R c's. Alright. Walk

10:32

me through. So you went to the Grammy's, and you're there because

10:34

Pat Naswal was nominated for a Grammy Award. Is that

10:36

correct? No. That's not why. 0II

10:39

had the opportunity buy tickets. I

10:41

I went I bought tickets for

10:43

last year's Grammy's for to take

10:46

Zoe as a Christmas present because

10:48

I thought she would be excited to go to the Grammy's

10:51

and she was. But then if

10:53

you recall last year because of the

10:55

Omicron spike, they had to postpone the Grammys

10:58

and then move it to Las Vegas. I do remember

11:00

that. And so I just got

11:02

a refund. And then so when it

11:04

came around this year, I was like, well, I'll get tickets

11:06

this year. And I also was like, this is

11:08

great because Taylor Swift got a new album.

11:10

She's also nominated for a song from

11:13

last year from from her the Taylor's

11:15

version of Red that All Too Well got nominated for

11:19

whatever the writing award is, not song

11:21

song with here. Yeah. It was nominated. So I

11:23

was like, maybe she'll perform, and that would be incredible.

11:25

So I got tickets and

11:28

we went and and Taylor Swift was there,

11:30

did not perform, and did not win. So

11:33

that was a little disappointing, but it was still kind

11:35

of fun to go and see a lot of other crazy

11:37

stuff. But I was

11:40

a million I was in the three

11:42

hundred section of of the crypto

11:45

It's a stable. Former stable. Yeah. Okay.

11:47

So you're

11:47

up in the three hundred level. Yeah. You

11:50

still wore a suit and tie. noticed they

11:52

say black tie on

11:53

things. I was like, I'm I'm I'll follow

11:55

your rules. I I don't know I don't

11:57

know what this is gonna be like. And You

11:59

know

11:59

what? Most people did. Even up there, most people

12:02

like, there were guys in tuxedos in

12:04

our -- In

12:04

level -- in our row.

12:05

Yeah. And I was kind of impressed. And then there was, like,

12:07

a couple people wearing Adidas track suits, you

12:09

know. And then there's just people

12:10

that wear in DMC.

12:12

It's weird that they were sitting up there. Yeah. Because they

12:14

actually had to perform later, but they came up. Did they

12:16

perform? They did. That was

12:18

honestly worth every the worth the

12:20

price of admission and the four

12:22

hours of sitting and and enduring a

12:24

lot of stuff that I'm not interested in. It

12:26

was all worth it for the the thing that happened

12:29

in the middle of the show, which is it's

12:31

this year is the fiftieth anniversary of the birth

12:33

of hip hop as decided by whoever

12:35

decided that, I

12:37

guess, DJ Cool Herk

12:39

through a house party in the Bronx in nineteen seventy

12:42

three and cut a couple records together and

12:44

they they consider that the birth of HIPAA. So anyway,

12:46

they're celebrating the fiftieth anniversary. So they did this

12:48

insane thing where I don't know

12:50

twenty different acts performed

12:53

all sort of any you

12:55

know, Medley. Medley. Like, where one would come

12:57

out, then the other would come out. And it was, like, it was

12:59

curated by Quest Love and he was playing drums

13:02

during the whole thing. And quest

13:04

love must, like,

13:06

have grown up the exact same time I grew

13:08

up because his taste is exactly my Like,

13:10

every choice up until maybe

13:12

nineteen ninety seven was exactly what I would have

13:14

done to. It was, like, it was Grand Master Flash in

13:16

the Furey's five. They were well, first, black

13:19

thought from from the roots did sort

13:21

of spoken word type thing to

13:23

introduce the whole thing. And then here

13:25

comes Grand master Flash. Here comes Randy MC.

13:27

Here comes Ella. Cool Jay. Here comes Salt and

13:29

Peppa. Here comes Rock Kim. Here comes public

13:31

anime.

13:32

What would have Eric B? Eric B was not there.

13:34

I'm sorry to tell you. He was not

13:36

not not invited. Why was it repeated? It's Eric

13:38

repeated. They are not together anymore.

13:41

You are for an anniversary show? Nope.

13:44

Jesus. Setera 3124 Chicago

13:46

all

13:47

over. They're each doing twenty seconds.

13:49

Eric B was the DJ of of Eric B. America B.

13:51

Chairman and they they have not

13:53

been together for a long

13:54

time. I don't know what the situation is if it was

13:57

I don't know if it's amicable or not amicable,

13:59

but really just wanted Ruck him to come out and

14:01

and and do for a

14:02

spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin.

14:04

And so that's whatever. And and same with, like, outcast,

14:07

like, Outcast is no longer together, and

14:09

Andrei three thousand, I think, is living on a commune.

14:11

And I don't know what's going on with them. But big

14:13

boy, the other half of Outcast came out

14:15

it little bit. And so there were lot of things like that where

14:17

not the whole the whole group was not together.

14:19

But I will say run DMC who I don't

14:21

know the last time they've been together. Maybe

14:23

they have been, I just did know about it, but

14:25

they haven't perform I mean, but they were together

14:27

performing, which is kind of exciting for

14:30

childhood me. And anyway, so that whole

14:32

thing was just mind blowing and

14:33

amazing. And was I was One of the fat boys.

14:35

They show up. The fat boys

14:37

are sadly not included in this.

14:39

They look, Eloquel j it was Eloquel

14:41

j introduced black thought introducing the

14:43

thing. And he said, look, in

14:45

fifty years, we can't include everybody. I know

14:48

if it could this is gonna be your favorite, might not be

14:50

clear if we can't get them all, but But we're we're gonna

14:52

be celebrating all year. So we'll get I'm like, I don't know

14:54

what that

14:54

means. Like, yeah. We're gonna get back together in

14:56

two months. I'm gonna I'll come back to this Here's

14:58

the folks who couldn't get this one again.

15:00

Yeah. And then the fat boys will show up.

15:02

I think they're dead or think.

15:04

One of them did pass away. didn't

15:06

I thought I maybe I misunderstood a

15:08

a headline. Did did a member of RunDMC

15:10

pass away? Years and years ago,

15:12

Jam master j was killed. There was third

15:15

person. Right? He was the DJ. Gotcha. He

15:17

was it was, like, the nineties he

15:19

was shot. But Ron and DMC

15:21

are both still yeah. But but DMC

15:24

has had mental health issues. He's

15:26

had dealt with depression and

15:29

also, at one point, basically

15:31

said, my entire career, I was

15:33

not using my own voice, I was putting on

15:35

a voice to sound cool, and it hurts my

15:37

vocal cords and I've destroyed my vocal

15:39

cords by doing that so I can no longer

15:42

perform. And so I was like, oh, shit. I'm

15:44

sorry to hear that. That's terrible. That's terrible

15:46

thing to hear. Yeah. But guess he can come

15:48

out and do, you know, twenty seconds of wrapping.

15:51

So he did that, and it was awesome. Great. Yeah.

15:53

And he was wearing a BC Boy shirts and that

15:55

was cool. I'm glad they got they were featured in

15:57

some way, shape, or form even though they weren't

15:59

obviously included, but which

16:02

would maybe they shouldn't be I don't

16:03

know. That's fine.

16:04

Why don't you think they should be included? Well, I

16:07

I say that knowing that there were some people towards

16:09

the end of the thing that I didn't even know who they were.

16:11

So, like, those people also shouldn't have been included.

16:13

The BC boys were important, but it's also kind

16:15

of like hip hop culture is

16:17

intertwined with black culture. And so anytime

16:20

you're celebrating the history of it, it's a little weird to be

16:22

like, and the white guys too. And it's like they

16:24

they have the respect of their peers, but it's also

16:26

kinda like yeah. But also

16:28

I think probably would turned it down because once MCA

16:31

passed

16:31

away. think they basically said we're no we're

16:33

the the groups over. We will never perform without

16:35

him. Now my as

16:38

you know, my favorite rapper is Tom Jones.

16:41

He actually was there. It was strangely enough.

16:43

What did she But she Not in this. We don't

16:44

know. He came out performed in the middle of this Medley.

16:47

And no one no one was happy with it. And

16:49

no one understood why it was happening, though. It would be

16:51

insane. It would be absolute insane. I'll

16:53

know if they're going to be what? Yeah. Why are

16:55

you showing

16:56

up, sir? And then Madonna,

16:58

did Madonna perform? No. So

17:00

so Madonna came out. When they didn't they didn't announce

17:02

Madonna, I screamed like a little girl. I was

17:04

so excited. was like, can't believe madonna's ears.

17:06

She's gonna sit. And then it's like, no. She's just

17:08

coming out to awkwardly say, introduce

17:11

Sam Smith. Okay. And Kim Petrus.

17:13

And so that wasn't that fun.

17:15

She she you

17:17

know, madonna has always been like,

17:19

you gotta push the envelope and you've gotta

17:22

and it's like that's always been it's like, yes, that's

17:24

what you've done in your career and you and you walk the walk and you

17:26

talk the talk and that's great. But now it's kind

17:28

of it's kind of I'm I'm

17:31

little worried that she's she's veered

17:33

into, like, if they call she was

17:35

going on this whole thing of, like, if they call you

17:38

risk a, if they call you, you

17:40

know, using all these words, and then she's like, if they

17:42

call you problematic, I'm like, uh-oh,

17:45

wait. She's like, then it means

17:47

that you're doing something right or whatever. I was like,

17:50

okay, madonna. Like, you did great

17:52

stuff, but I also am a little concerned

17:54

that, like, if if she continued down the

17:56

path of her career. I don't know

17:58

what comes next, blackface.

18:00

Yeah. I don't know where she's going with this. Yeah.

18:02

She's

18:06

it's it's it's she's just not accepting

18:08

that she is the the

18:10

old guard. I don't I don't mean that

18:12

negatively. Right. Like, she's her

18:14

whole career, she's tried to stay current

18:16

or at least stay actually a little bit ahead of what

18:18

is current, like, to collaborate with

18:20

interesting, underground semi

18:22

underground artist or like find a DJ who's

18:24

cool to produce an album. And now it's

18:26

just like, you're sixty. Can

18:29

you Can you just Yeah. Be the the

18:32

grand dum. You don't have to be like -- Yeah. -- be

18:34

madonna and just -- Right. -- you know, what

18:36

Sherritt

18:36

did, which is, like, you can still go out and

18:38

There you go. -- and and, you know,

18:40

perform and be awesome, and and people

18:42

love you. They wanna see you. But

18:45

you don't have to compete with the twenty year olds. Like,

18:47

that's not that's not your role. That's your role.

18:49

Exactly. That's those are the words I was looking

18:51

at. By the way, you and I we as I

18:53

mentioned, we got tickets to see madonna. Yes. You

18:55

and and and Elise, your beautiful wife, Elise.

18:57

Yes. My wife has zero interest

19:00

Yeah. Which I'm so bummed out because it'd be

19:02

fun to all go. I respect her opinion,

19:04

but I was I didn't know that about her in terms of He doesn't

19:06

even wanna go for the You know what I mean? Yeah.

19:09

Yeah. Yeah. The You wanna fun if two couples go.

19:11

She that's how much she hates, but that's how much she hates.

19:13

Like, it doesn't even it doesn't even wanna do

19:15

that. Like, yeah. It'll be fun. Right. So

19:18

you and Elise and I are all on Ticketmaster

19:20

trying to get tickets and we missed out on one

19:22

day and then next day all three of us got in, then

19:24

luckily I got the was able to get the best of

19:26

the Three of us. Yes. And okay.

19:29

Garikako, please go to the

19:30

hallway. don't know what just happened.

19:31

What the hell? The door opened and

19:33

the invasion rattled me. It it

19:36

like, of better word, better word of rattled.

19:40

Alright. So

19:42

we we go through a thing to

19:44

get these madonna tickets. We finally lay on some.

19:46

We got three deep decent seats

19:50

at the is that the staples?

19:52

Yeah. It is

19:53

also at the cryptosstaple. And

19:55

so then they announced they're adding some

19:57

shows. Yeah. And they add, I

20:00

believe, two shows not until it's not until

20:02

next January. At the forum.

20:04

Oh, I didn't even hear about this. And I

20:06

just have to be at my computer when they say tickets

20:09

on sale at ten o'clock. Oh. Oh,

20:11

okay. I got my pick of the entire forum.

20:13

Really, yeah, it was crazy. That is

20:15

crazy. And it was like, no, I'm not gonna buy them.

20:17

We already have them. And this is a

20:19

year away. But an odd thing because they

20:21

added there's four they they

20:24

they announced one show at at crypto. They

20:26

added second one it sold out, then they added a third,

20:28

and they didn't think they added a fourth. So she's doing four

20:30

nights

20:30

there, and then two more I believe two more

20:32

at the forum, like, six months later, or four months

20:35

later. Where are we going? think it's September. Alright.

20:37

So in January, I believe -- Yes. -- they've had

20:39

the forum. Which, by the way, the forum is smaller.

20:42

The four like, everything about the forum b.

20:44

It's I mean, there's less convenient for you to get

20:45

to, but -- Yeah. Well, yeah. No.

20:48

It is. But visually, it say I was gonna

20:50

say maybe parking's a little easier there, but that's not

20:52

true

20:52

either. It is

20:53

for me. It's easier for me at the at the forum.

20:55

Okay. Well, we have our little trick. I but -- Yeah. --

20:57

a little tricky track. Mhmm. At

21:00

any rate, the forum had some

21:02

seats available and What would did you

21:04

buy them? Normally show you didn't know. Okay. I did not

21:06

because it was like We already got

21:08

them. We're in. And

21:10

we're in. Yeah. So I think I like the seats

21:12

you got. I'm I'm happy with what you got, especially

21:14

because we got we're gonna have to sell the ones we

21:16

got. We got some other ones before you got those

21:19

that I wasn't that happy with. Kind of similar

21:21

to where I was last night

21:22

or something. Well, the good news is she's

21:24

just got the one show. She tickets are gonna be

21:26

really It's a lot after her. It's gonna

21:29

be a little you it may be me

21:31

with those Rockwell Hall of Fame tickets where,

21:33

you know, I gave you one Pardo never

21:35

enough funny

21:36

listeners. I bet I can find

21:37

some friends who would be willing

21:39

to give you Actually,

21:40

Zoey was sort of curious. Like, she was like,

21:42

maybe I'll go with some friends. Yeah. Go

21:44

ahead and have her go with some friends. She doesn't know anything

21:46

about Madonna. But she might leave there loving

21:49

it. Yeah. When she doesn't know anything

21:51

at

21:51

all, Madonna? Well, she she knows some of the song,

21:53

if you come on, man. Sorry. I didn't

21:55

do that.

21:58

In ten year well, I don't know how long you've had that headset,

22:00

but that's never happened before?

22:01

No.

22:02

It happens. Don't don't you listen to that? How does it ride with

22:04

Daniella Daniella Christine? How does it all the time? yeah.

22:06

That's

22:06

true. That's the framework. Yeah.

22:08

I mean, listening to the the Zoom episode, by

22:11

the way, with I think it's a oh,

22:13

yeah.

22:13

Kubermin. Is that who would is that who's

22:15

on? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it

22:18

was it it it's interesting hearing

22:21

them do their first show via Zoom

22:23

-- Yeah. -- and hearing what we

22:25

learned of how to find the

22:28

rhythm of talking on Zoom. Mhmm. It's still

22:30

a great show. I very much I'm I'm I mean,

22:32

this is true. I'm Daniel's gonna think I'm lying,

22:34

but I'm very much enjoying this episode. Because

22:36

her concern was that it was on Zoom and

22:38

and look, that's the truth. It's just we

22:41

don't like doing it on Zoom. Right. And when

22:43

somebody goes out, I'm not feeling it was just that one on

22:45

Zoom. Nope. You could trash it in here. We're

22:47

doing a show on Instagram.

22:49

The chemistry of being in person

22:51

for both of these shows is is

22:54

lessened. Yes. I assume it seems.

22:56

It's there. Yeah. It's just

22:58

strained almost because it's you don't

23:01

you don't know what

23:01

Well, you

23:01

just gotta cut don't know what to You don't know

23:04

which Yeah. It's there's no -- Yeah. --

23:05

energy exchange, I guess. Now that said, Geron

23:08

Darryl, the pandemic word was that never not

23:10

funny did it better than any other shows. So I

23:12

I will take that compliment. I don't think that we

23:15

learned from -- Yeah. -- from doing it, and

23:17

I think that we ended up doing a real nice job. And

23:19

let's pray to all that is sacred. That

23:22

it never has to happen. I

23:24

can. Well, I'm moving

23:26

to Italy. Great.

23:28

I'll find it. Of course. That's easy. That

23:31

make no mistake. You you moving. Yeah.

23:33

That's

23:33

that's that's that's what you've been waiting for. Jesus

23:36

Christ. Get out. Yeah. Yeah. Go enjoy it. Get

23:38

out 3124 gondola. I'm

23:40

gonna go see some parts. I was thinking

23:42

your life. I'll get some young, hot, broad, and here,

23:45

and ready to go. Okay. Write some

23:48

yeah. I I heard McDonald's available. I'm

23:51

I'm You're looking for

23:52

a young cop. You know what? I'm not looking for problematic buddy.

23:54

Oh, that's the last thing I'm looking for. She's got takes.

23:58

So how did she she didn't

24:00

relate to to human beings when

24:02

she was in

24:04

the center of our culture. Imagine

24:07

being the gazillionaire that she is

24:09

and who doesn't interact in the world -- Right. --

24:11

trying to, like, have her come in here and go, alright, we're

24:13

doing sports teams and we can go with a like,

24:15

you're just watching her you know,

24:17

had explode and those you those

24:19

bottle glasses that she wears and

24:21

the promotional photo

24:24

That's but I remember We're trying to talk faster

24:26

than my brain is giving me information, but I

24:28

know. Or vice versa. My brain's giving me to me.

24:30

That's it. My brain's giving it to me because I'm

24:33

Jimmy Pardo and my mouth

24:35

is going, you know what? Take advice

24:37

from your granddaughter thing. You're getting older. Just

24:39

start

24:39

relaxing. You're the old guard. Yeah. I

24:41

don't think that's fair. I was gonna say, like,

24:43

I I think she

24:46

I liked that remember at the time when

24:48

truth or dare came out, I liked it because she

24:50

seemed she was so big, and

24:52

she seemed like an alien. But that movie

24:54

kind of humanized her -- Yeah. -- like you saw her being a human

24:56

being even though it was kinda stagey and fake

24:59

at times. Right. But it was still, like, oh,

25:01

she's kinda she can be normal in some ways.

25:03

Very abnormal. In other ways, like, just because

25:05

of her her life is crazy. But, like, you

25:08

saw her being vulnerable and, like, a regular

25:10

like, I think it was maybe right before she started speaking

25:12

with a British

25:13

accent. Yeah. So it was, like, you didn't have that

25:15

to deal with, but maybe I could be wrong about that.

25:17

Maybe that's when it started. Now

25:19

when I worked over the Kona program, they sent

25:21

Billy Eikner out, and Billy Eikner did a thing

25:23

-- Yeah. -- to was she at the Super Bowl? Madonna

25:25

sent the Super Bowl. I remember that. Yeah. And

25:27

by all the couch, she played along. Yes. Diall

25:29

accounts was was fun and was a

25:31

nice person. So, you

25:34

know, maybe that is what does

25:36

behind the scenes. And then when she goes on talk shows

25:38

and so on --

25:38

Yeah. -- does some crazy accent and -- Right. --

25:40

we've gotta deal with it. Well, anyway, we got tickets for

25:42

her show, and we're gonna go and enjoy

25:44

it. By the way, I did have a few celebrity

25:46

sightings. I won't do all of

25:47

them. I'm sure you did. But if you want like,

25:49

here's what happened. We got there super early.

25:52

We were anticipating, like, who knows what traffic's

25:54

gonna be like? So unlike Beyoncé,

25:56

we left with plenty of time. Turned

25:59

up Beyoncé was, I don't know if saw Beyoncé was

26:01

late to the

26:01

Grammy's.

26:02

Oh, I did

26:02

And and she missed like, she won an award and didn't

26:05

wouldn't wasn't

26:05

that

26:06

that late. That's how we

26:07

Because of traffic or -- Yes. -- she leave lates.

26:09

No one knows. But that meant that

26:12

her producer and Nyle Rogers who played on

26:14

the the track that she won for got to go

26:16

up. They were gonna go up anyway, but then Nyle Rogers got

26:18

to talk, which is kinda Cool. Mhmm.

26:19

He basically just took

26:21

control.

26:22

Yeah. Yeah. The other Like,

26:23

you're not why you think you're gonna talk? Well, the

26:25

other well, again, I was so far

26:27

away. I barely knew what was going on, but

26:30

it was it seemed like the one guy said a

26:32

couple things and kinda step back like, we don't need

26:34

to and then Naira just, like, nope. I'll fill this back

26:36

human, like, give a huge long speech. But

26:38

I don't

26:39

know. Yeah. If if it was, like, if

26:41

it was a forced takeover, then III

26:43

wasn't

26:44

It seemed unexpected.

26:46

Yeah. Like,

26:47

that guy was, like, Beyonce says thanks and walks off,

26:49

and then they were going to commercial. No.

26:51

No. ended all those be like, what's

26:53

the thing? Yeah.

26:54

Which yes. Let this hey. He's a legend.

26:56

Let us talk. Yeah. Exactly.

26:58

But wait. Did you I saw that

27:00

when Harry Styles won that there was some

27:02

audience. Oh, yeah. The the

27:04

upper deck did not like Harry Styles

27:06

winning. They were mad. What did he win?

27:08

Album with the year one album album. Album of

27:10

the year. It was he versus? It was a lot

27:13

of it was an album. Lizzo, Adel

27:16

-- Oh. -- Beyoncé -- -- Abo?

27:20

-- and then some other stuff that may maybe didn't

27:22

have as good of a chance.

27:23

By the way, the Aboe album is really good.

27:24

Yeah.

27:24

But, no.

27:25

It it's not it's not the

27:26

It's it's not album of the year. I mean, come

27:28

on. That's that's old guys voting.

27:32

But but but bonnie rate one song of the year.

27:35

And I've never felt more

27:37

uncomfortableness in a room, especially

27:39

that size. They Like, it was doctor

27:42

Jill Biden was giving that award away, which added

27:44

to the awkwardness of it. She opens up and

27:46

she reads she just reads the song name. She doesn't

27:48

say Bonny Ray. She just reads the name of the song.

27:50

The entire room just stopped. There was

27:53

dead fucking silence for

27:55

three full full seconds where everyone's

27:57

just like, what do you talk

27:59

what What is that? Did you

28:01

read it wrong? Are you having a senior moment?

28:03

Like, what just And then everyone's like,

28:06

they cut to Bonnie Ray. And then everyone's like,

28:08

Oh, oh, okay. Yeah.

28:12

Great. Like, it was like she was also up

28:14

against Lizzo and Taylor Swift and Beyonce

28:16

and -- Right. -- like, Harry Styles and was

28:18

like, what the fuck are you talking

28:20

about? So wouldn't have been out of the realm possibility

28:22

for Ava to

28:23

win. Given that Bonnie rate one, it was like,

28:25

I guess, old people are happened their

28:27

day.

28:27

It reminded me of when again, we we talked

28:29

about when Tony Bennett won best

28:31

album, and it's clearly, like, no. No. We

28:33

didn't. Right. And look, I like body

28:35

rate. Body rate is my generation. Yeah.

28:38

But this is twenty twenty three. Right.

28:40

And no. Yeah. No. And I and

28:42

by the

28:42

way, I don't even really like other music. Right.

28:44

But I know that Boundary Raider doesn't win

28:46

that. You don't you don't have to know any

28:48

of the music at all to know that that's tone

28:50

3124.

28:51

It it really is. It's Do you think

28:53

it just got

28:55

split. I mean Like, she like,

28:57

Beyonce, got so many

28:58

tailors, got so many tailors, got so many tailors, and

29:00

lizzo, and lizzo, and hairstyles.

29:02

She got one extra vote and probably wanna

29:05

I mean, in twenty twenty three, no I think in no

29:07

disrespect to body rate or that song. Of course.

29:09

But in twenty twenty three, those

29:11

four people, though, they win.

29:13

Yes. One of them

29:14

wins. It it also just felt like

29:17

the classic thing you see with the Oscars too, where it's

29:19

just, like, they just made it feel like,

29:21

oh, this voting body is too old. Yeah.

29:23

Well, but I have question about that because I assume

29:25

that Grammy's is like TV and film where it's

29:27

it's like your peers and then

29:28

for, like, album of the year, it's everybody. Right?

29:30

This is one of the everybody votes categories.

29:33

Fair enough. But, like, aren't

29:35

there more young members of the

29:37

Grammy organization than everybody

29:39

else?

29:40

These old people won't die. Yeah. I don't I

29:42

don't think so. Like,

29:42

there's a bunch of young producers aren't there now.

29:45

There should be. But

29:45

there's so many those are the people who probably

29:48

don't vote because like, too busy to care,

29:50

you know. Well, then that's that's

29:52

the

29:52

problem. Yeah. For sure.

29:53

And the other thing I wonder is how many musicians

29:57

could be part of the Grammy's, but aren't choose

29:59

not

29:59

to. Yeah. That's probably also happening. Because

30:01

you do have to Pardo dues. Right. But

30:03

I think I think the idea of quest love

30:05

being involved, a lot people wanna be involved

30:08

because they they look up to him.

30:09

Mhmm. Mhmm.

30:10

And so I think there would be more young people.

30:12

But I I'm with you. I it It's

30:14

confusing. But make no

30:15

mistake, you know, no twenty three year old.

30:17

No.

30:18

Nobody knows.

30:18

They're not voting for they're not voting for for Bonnie

30:20

Rain. I

30:21

didn't know Bonnie Rain was still writing new songs

30:23

that anybody was paying attention to. Well, here's what's ridiculous.

30:26

When I was a kid, Bonnie Rae won a

30:28

Grammy, and I was like, who the fuck is that?

30:31

I feel like she keeps doing this. And

30:33

I think it happened once since then

30:35

too. Like, well, I that time I actually did because

30:37

she a big hit in an eighty nine or

30:39

whatever. Let's let's

30:39

give them some of the talk about that. Yeah. That whole album's

30:41

really good. And so she she might have won album the year

30:43

that year. But it's

30:44

the same time. But even then, it was Yeah. It was But

30:46

that album of the year. It seems silly then,

30:48

but I was a kid. So of course, I thought it was silly.

30:50

But I think even we could look it

30:52

up. I think, like, in between that and

30:54

this, I think there was another moment where she's, like,

30:56

randomly one something without anyone even knowing

30:58

she put it

30:59

out. Yeah. You know what I wonder the times is she gonna

31:01

do this? What I wonder is if either her or

31:03

her management or somebody's just really

31:05

good at this Pardo. Maybe. Like, they just

31:07

They really work the system. Mhmm. And

31:09

again, by all accounts, as supposed to be very nice

31:11

woman, a very nice woman, gray guitarist.

31:13

Mhmm. She sounded gray when she

31:15

performed. There's no doubt about it, Garrett. She

31:17

said one of the best. She's got that slide guitar

31:19

going. Yeah.

31:20

They did it. Not a gray hair. That

31:21

though. Was

31:22

that She didn't have it. Oh, she didn't have it. I my apologies.

31:26

You would have Oh, yeah. They

31:27

were stronger. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

31:29

Yeah. It was the Christie McVie Right.

31:31

Chris, somebody else of

31:34

the elder generation won something big.

31:36

Didn't I or am I misremembering?

31:39

There was another shock win I thought.

31:42

I don't know. I'm trying to remember. I

31:44

don't know what it was. Lizzo won record

31:47

of the year, and Harry Siles won

31:49

album of the

31:49

year. Best new artist was like,

31:52

a jazz singer that never heard of. Oh, maybe he

31:54

was maybe he was that?

31:56

No. She was young now. What's

31:58

the difference between record

31:59

an album. Now I'm confused. Record of the year is

32:01

the production that goes to the like,

32:03

record of years for the

32:05

it's it's the song. Song. And the

32:07

song of the year is the songwriting award. It's

32:09

kinda it's confusing. It's really confusing.

32:11

Because song song of the year, like

32:13

like, let's pretend Let's I'm

32:16

just gonna make money. Let's pretend Chicago's look

32:18

away one. Mhmm. And the songwriters look

32:20

away. Chicago doesn't walk up there. Diane

32:22

Warren does. Exactly. And it's it's it's

32:24

weird like that. They don't song of the year,

32:26

they don't even get to walk up there. It's bizarre.

32:28

And and because if you're just watching as a

32:30

seventeen year old or even a fifteen year old

32:32

music fan, fifty year old and you you wanna

32:35

know why why your favorite bet why is your

32:37

band not walking up there? Why is this

32:39

person I don't even know who this

32:40

is. Right. Yeah. It's it's just why

32:43

they mostly try to give vanity credits

32:45

to big artists on tracks that someone

32:47

else wrote just so that they could get up there. You know what

32:49

I mean? Right. Something with five other people. Now

32:51

was AST recording artist, Pat N Oswald,

32:53

there? I don't I

32:56

I don't

32:56

know. They do all those do the commies stuff

32:58

in the morning.

32:59

What they do?

32:59

So actually, still to this morning, I don't know

33:01

who won that. Oh, no. I do. Dave Schappel. Schappel

33:03

one. Yeah. Which, by the way, it it It

33:06

made me feel like last year when Louis CK

33:08

one, it just, like -- Yeah. -- nobody's listening to

33:11

those albums. They're just looking at the names they know. I think

33:13

it's the same thing with Bonny Ray. They a lot of

33:15

people just look listen and

33:16

go, I know that name and they check it. But if you

33:18

if you're in the if you're in the voting group the

33:20

Grammy group. Yeah. And again, it's

33:22

The current music, it's not my bag. Mhmm.

33:25

But if I'm looking at a list and

33:27

you don't know who Lizzo and Harry Styles and --

33:29

Right. Right. -- Beyonce and

33:30

-- You don't You don't belong in there. -- you don't belong

33:32

there for sure. They might know who they are, but they like

33:34

but I like body rate because I am seventy.

33:37

Are you I I'm I'm furious about this,

33:39

and I'm hoping everybody in the room is the idea

33:41

that Lizzo is engaged to a comedian. I'm

33:44

furious. I didn't know. Why are we mad about this?

33:46

I don't know. The people are mad about Well, people

33:48

are legitimately mad that she's dating a comedian.

33:50

You can do whatever the fuck she wants. Get whatever the fuck you

33:52

want, lady. But who is it? Do we know them? I

33:54

don't know him. No.

33:55

Uh-huh. I I did not

33:56

recognize the name. I'm I'm

33:58

happy for them both if if they're

34:00

having fun. Right. Who gives you shit like

34:02

What? Lizzo played a glass flute

34:04

too and they got mad. Right? Because it was it was

34:06

James Madison's flute or something. Whatever.

34:08

They use the bible old bibles to --

34:10

Yeah. -- whatever. I'm I'm not with them. I'm

34:12

just I think that was the source of the

34:14

finger. Yeah.

34:15

thing that nobody knew it existed, then

34:18

once they found it, it existed in black

34:20

person did something where they're like, no. And you and you

34:22

you just exactly said it. It was a black person

34:23

-- Yep. -- did it. If, you know, sadly, if Ian

34:26

Anderson goes up there and plays a thing, oh, can you

34:28

believe the guy from general. Cole got to play with the guy the

34:30

flu. How great is that?

34:31

Like, that's -- Right. And then the

34:33

Lizzo is whap. Right? No.

34:35

No. No.

34:35

Who Fucking white old man.

34:38

That's that's that's making the statement. Nice now. Okay.

34:41

So

34:41

That Pardo isn't it?

34:43

Cardi B and Megan and Sally together, I

34:44

think. Okay. Oh, I didn't really work together.

34:46

Isn't that a it's a

34:47

I don't think

34:47

it is Megan's stuff. Alright. So so okay. We're

34:50

world, though. I think it's I think

34:51

it's Pardo b. Based on the

34:52

mistake that I've made, though?

34:53

Collab. What? Based

34:54

on the mistake that

34:55

I've made,

34:56

though, I can imagine an old white do

34:58

going on. I don't like somebody who's talking about with China.

35:00

Or just going, you know what? Bonnie Rachael.

35:03

That

35:03

is correct. It is okay.

35:04

Does it doubled up to him? Already being making

35:06

doubled it, but you well, he knows. He listens to the

35:08

he

35:08

and his daughter listen to that. Mhmm. High force my son

35:11

to listen to foreigner. I don't know what's going

35:13

on. I'm also just you guys know this. I'm I'm

35:15

a big fan of White House Pussies.

35:16

39:15

There you go. Exactly. Winston. Yeah.

39:17

39:24

over here. I'll sit here. It's Right? There

39:27

is a mic. You're you're being picked up. We can hear you very,

39:29

very well. You sound great. By

39:31

the way, just to confirm that that COVID test

39:33

negative. Think so. What's the two lines for

39:35

me? Oh, no. Of course. Yes.

39:37

Your neck.

39:40

Alright. Joel at was here exciting. Mhmm.

39:43

It's exciting. I haven't seen in a

39:45

little while. Positive energy comes in positive

39:47

energy.

39:47

Yep. I was

39:47

thinking if I come in too soon. Even it was

39:50

even it was still exciting,

39:51

but we started late. Was it his father-in-law?

39:53

No. No. It's definitely not. No. No. He was here right on

39:55

time. He walked in. Yeah. That is that is a

39:57

rookie move. What happened? But I did feel young again.

39:59

Just doing good. I've never noticed before.

40:02

But at least it wasn't like, you know, Kramer from

40:04

scientists coming in. Right. Yeah. The flesh of

40:06

rage and you're right. Listener.

40:10

I was surprised the door was

40:12

opening. It's whatever the what's the rate?

40:14

I was frightened by it. Usually, when that

40:16

happens, it's a UPS guy who was like, they

40:18

just barge into offices apparently. They don't care.

40:20

So

40:20

Yeah. They you know what? In fairness to them,

40:23

this could be a reception for

40:25

the backroom. Like, they don't -- Yeah. -- they don't

40:27

know what's happening. And if we wanted to, we

40:29

could build some sort of wall here and have a

40:31

receptionist and put Elliot on the other

40:33

side of it. Who do I like to do that? Let's

40:36

build that wall. Let's build you know Let's get Trump to

40:38

do it. Oh,

40:39

boy. So

40:39

you build a terrible wall. So you

40:40

have couple of pieces of bamboo in front of

40:42

you. Walk right through It'll

40:44

it'll be it'll be like this and it won't be any different.

40:46

It'll just be two sticks.

40:47

Yeah. By the way, I saw him speak over

40:49

the weekend. Mhmm. I'm

40:50

coming around. Oh, you win in comp I'm coming

40:52

around. You win in person. Yeah. I really think

40:54

twenty twenty four is gonna be he's gonna be back

40:56

stronger than

40:57

ever. Mhmm. I'm really liking what he's saying.

40:59

Yeah. I'm really like I mean, some new

41:01

ones. Yeah. You're noticing the new ones. I

41:03

really am. It took little

41:04

while, Joe, but it he really

41:06

Well, he's learned, you know, he he did the

41:08

job. He's learned a lot of lessons. Learned

41:10

a lot. And he's he's obviously sharper now

41:12

than he has ever been

41:13

before. Oh, he's sharper. And you know what? I

41:16

think he's sharper because the four things

41:18

that he won't stop fucking repeating, he's

41:20

really got

41:21

down. Yeah. He's really got him down.

41:22

Got a lot of practice set Did you see

41:25

George Santos' tweet over

41:27

the weekend? Over the weekend? I did, but go

41:29

ahead, Gary. I'm a famous liar. Yep.

41:31

George Santos tweeted, Donald

41:33

j Trump will be the forty seventh

41:35

president of the United States. I

41:38

literally laughed out loud when I had it. Like,

41:40

It's I I think it might be

41:42

one of the funniest tweets in history because he

41:45

knows what he's doing. He has to know

41:47

You think George Santos knows what he's doing? I think he

41:49

absolutely knows what he's doing at this point.

41:51

Like, it made me laugh.

41:53

I thought it was very

41:54

funny. We didn't get to asshole that he is.

41:56

We should know his name,

41:57

because we should not know Marbury Taylor Green.

41:59

We we don't know his name.

42:01

We got Oliver's true of your question. We've

resis, you get your goalis, and you got your changeis.

44:10

Is that something? That's nothing. Did

44:11

you make a resolution? I know you're nineteen. No. No.

44:13

No. No. My

44:15

wife pointed out that a resolution doesn't have to be

44:17

stopping eating something every year, which is what

44:19

I got in the habit of doing.

44:20

Yeah. I could be doing something

44:21

good. So now I've decided instead of

44:24

not even like a slob. I'm just gonna

44:26

read a book every month. Like, one book a month is

44:28

that's my goal. Gosh. Seems pretty easy, but I

44:30

don't I'm struggling already. I I see you finishing

44:33

six books in the

44:34

year. I'm halfway through two for January and

44:36

we've got

44:36

two, two. Why are you reading

44:37

two books at once? Because I started one and I

44:39

got bored so I and another one, and I'll finish

44:41

that one, but I don't know if I'll finish it in time for the

44:43

end of the month. This is not an advertisement for

50:34

50:36

which is always nice. And and the

50:38

whole crew here is great. I'm very,

50:40

very lucky. We talked about it a lot, Joe, that

50:43

on paper, the four of us should not even be friends.

50:45

But I'm very

50:47

grateful and lucky that I've that these three guys have

50:49

come in my life and that we've made this little world

50:51

for ourselves. Yeah. Thank god. People enjoy

50:53

listening to it. Yeah. Thank Christ. I dropped

50:55

to my knees every night. And I think the great lord

50:57

above that we that we found

50:59

this. Joe, so off the air,

51:02

you you were saying, what what's our our

51:04

origin story. Yes. Yeah. Do you have

51:06

any memory of you? I I the memories I

51:08

have of you, the earliest

51:10

memory, but and think we had met before

51:12

this was at at a match game live

51:14

show that we did at a at a UCB.

51:16

I think here in LA, I

51:19

think that we met before that, but I remember

51:21

that show because went really well there

51:24

was I can't remember the exact joke,

51:26

but it it was something about the

51:28

question, the masking question was something about constipation

51:31

or something. And Bob Sieger was

51:34

some type of answer and I said something

51:36

about night moves and it was a joke that you

51:38

like that I I got very excited that

51:40

a person I thought was funny and laughed

51:42

at the joke. That's my earliest memory,

51:44

but I think we might have met before

51:47

that. Is that true? I don't know the answer to that. I think

51:49

it been one of like, maybe we met at the UCB, but

51:51

then when Scott said, hey, Jola

51:53

wants to do oh, yeah. Match game.

51:55

I was like, yeah. Let's have another match game. And I wanna

51:57

say that's what then when This

51:59

guy now, we gotta let's do this. Okay. So we

52:01

then we got you over here. Yeah. I just

52:03

I just listened to Scott. You're up to what's got

52:05

it. Scott's always great. That's

52:07

great guy. Good guy. Yeah. Father now.

52:09

Yeah. And you could listen to

52:11

that. Four hour story in the last episode,

52:13

but never that funny. But which, by the way, was

52:15

a great story.

52:16

53:16

I mean, think we he's got a great,

53:18

you know, his grandparents are

53:20

here. They came, you know, moved out from Florida,

53:22

and he's got other grandparents in Alabama

53:25

and in Georgia. And so he's got a good he's

53:27

got a good group around him. Who's from

53:29

the south? Your wife? My wife's

53:31

mom. Is from Alabama. Yeah. And they're

53:33

still in Coleman, Alabama, Northern Alabama

53:35

there. And her dad is

53:37

outside Atlanta and Marietta. Like

53:40

that, Marietta's Yeah. I performed at the funny

53:42

boat in Marietta in nineteen eighty

53:44

nine.

53:45

Ninety. Nineteen ninety. Oh, okay. So that

53:47

so ask them about it. Yeah. See if you remember

53:49

when III assumed we went to the show.

53:51

assumed we went had to be there. Had to be there. And everyone

53:54

enjoyed their time there. So that's right. Don't even need

53:56

to ask him if he liked

53:56

it. He obviously did. I

53:57

can tell you who they didn't enjoy. They

54:00

like, no. No. No. Jimmy Jimmy had a tough week.

54:02

Jimmy Pardo, I do it too. Early to I should've

54:04

still had a day job in doing open

54:06

mics, but

54:06

because I was good

54:09

on you know, I I guess I had presidents or

54:11

whatever. I got booked right away. And

54:13

so I quit my day job way too

54:15

soon. Right. And then, you know, we're gonna start looking

54:17

down the road, and then I started working a clubs,

54:19

which were the funny going was, and they

54:22

were used to a higher level of

54:24

comic, and I I had a

54:26

tough week.

54:26

Oh, really? They

54:27

they wanted just a a bigger name or something?

54:29

I think he just wanted somebody funny.

54:32

Bigger jokes. I just I I just remember Stratton.

54:35

Yeah. And the two comics I was working with just

54:37

treated me like that too. Like, oh, really? This

54:39

guy is not funny. So then not not

54:42

only did I suck on stage, I had

54:44

no camaraderie off stage. Like, I just was

54:46

alone in a hotel and

54:48

just thinking about your father-in-law. Can't

54:51

why wouldn't he invite me to lunch? He'd

54:53

even have to come backstage. Hello. Nothing.

54:55

Nothing. He's a big you know

54:56

what? He would love you. He's a big comedy

54:59

fan. He's a big George Carlin

55:00

fan. Yep. Yep. And

55:02

he would he would love you. Because he's also like,

55:05

he laughs at a lot of the stuff that you and I would

55:07

laugh at, like, old old school kind of

55:09

type of stuff, you know. And without

55:11

being racist, you know. And

55:14

so he's just a big fan of comment. I bet he'd like

55:16

it. I bet he would love that show, Jimmy. Should've went

55:18

you know

55:19

what? If I ever get I get back to Atlanta.

55:21

Look, look, ladies and not Atlanta. Yeah. How

55:24

Atlanta?

55:26

We will By the way, I I found

55:28

the video of that on YouTube.

55:31

Tell Joe what you mean. Because Tom Jones was

55:33

in Vegas. It's the Tom Jones live at

55:35

Caesars -- Okay. -- album.

55:37

Yeah. And it's probably something he says all the

55:40

time. Yeah. John his his band leader's name is

55:42

John. And so he says to somebody, III

55:44

56:54

I was I was asked if I wanted to have lunch

56:56

and quite frankly, I was I was

56:58

not up to it. I was -- Yeah. -- dealing with

57:00

some other nonsense and Uh-huh. -- as we all

57:02

do. It's

57:03

57:05

don't wanna invite someone to, like, hey, do you wanna

57:08

come watch my kid plays soccer

57:14

Yeah. III assumed that was the case, and

57:20

if I was in a different place on Saturday Mhmm.

57:23

57:24

it, I think it would have been fun

57:26

57:30

How's it evolved? Exactly. Right? It

57:32

is Tell me what Eli's played. I'm in. Yeah. I love

58:02

No one wants to do it because it's horrible. I

58:04

mean, you know, there's a fifty percent chance you will

58:06

be yelled at by a

58:07

stranger. Yeah. That sucks. Yeah.

58:09

But yeah. But it's

58:11

good, you know, I don't

58:13

58:15

I I played so I grew up down to

58:17

Market Florida and I played soccer down

58:19

there. And there was

58:22

my coach was an Italian guy,

58:24

58:38

a shot Oh, we can get it.

58:40

And just a just a flurry

58:42

of, like, Italian expletives. Exhibitives.

58:45

And until one time

58:47

he got into a fight with the ref,

58:50

got into a physical explosion -- Oh

58:52

my god. -- the ref and, you know, I

58:54

this I don't know, eight or nine. The

58:56

how to do background check? Yeah. All that

1:00:02

1:00:04

1:00:05

But what if I'm not parent? If I'm not a parent, just

1:00:08

the restatement was there. Do I get a lunch? I guess,

1:00:19

morning. I'm

1:00:19

not doing donut. It's or you know that? No

1:00:21

donuts. That's what they're Twenty twenty three? The year of

1:00:23

no donuts. That's right. So alright.

1:00:26

I have to wait until you could do an afternoon game. Maybe

1:00:28

they'll give you a slice of pizza. Know what? I

1:00:30

I don't know if pizza's the right thing for me either. I mean,

1:00:32

what are you on a new, like, a diet thing? I'm

1:00:35

no. I just -- Yeah. -- dealing with I'm

1:00:37

not gonna bore everybody. I'm dealing with a lot of

1:00:39

health issues. Got it. Okay. Alright. We don't know

1:00:41

if it's food related. One

1:00:44

doctor says it is, and nine others tell me

1:00:46

it's an man. And so it's

1:00:48

flat aged. Right? Where we get to hear all about

1:00:50

that. You know? I'm on a stat

1:00:52

now. It's like stuff didn't think I'd ever do.

1:00:55

You're on for cholesterol. don't even know what the

1:00:57

name of it is. 3124. That

1:00:59

sounds right. I'm still in denial

1:01:01

about it, really. You know? Just think

1:01:03

I tried to do the thing with the diet and, you

1:01:05

know, it helped a little bit, but it just needs to come down me

1:01:07

ask you a question about your statin. A

1:01:10

lot of people on the Internet say that it gives them

1:01:12

a bad side effects of horrible abdominal

1:01:14

pain and other stuff. So have you

1:01:17

dealt with of that? None. Good for you. It's

1:01:19

why it's why I didn't wanna do for the longest

1:01:21

time. And then I I talked to a buddy of mine down

1:01:23

in in Florida who high school buddy

1:01:25

who I'm like, I don't wanna take a step. And he's like,

1:01:27

why not? He's got angry because I'm like,

1:01:29

come on. I'm like, really? Like, how long? Seventeen

1:01:31

years. Oh, any side effects? No.

1:01:33

So, you know, I I eventually, I was like,

1:01:36

well, you know, let's try it. It could

1:01:38

always Really? It works. It works. That's the

1:01:40

other thing. It's like -- Yeah. -- when I started, I kinda was like, you

1:01:42

do when I when they told me I had to go on this cholesterol medicine.

1:01:44

I was kinda like you, like I don't I don't wanna do

1:01:46

it. I don't know this. And then I'm I'm out to Steve. I I

1:01:48

go through my buddy, Steve. Mhmm. Go, yeah. They wanna put

1:01:50

me a question. It was, god. I've been on that twenty years. Just

1:01:52

take it who gives a shit. Yeah. That would that would like,

1:01:55

take We have good friends. That of that

1:01:57

of already done it and say, hey, just don't worry about

1:01:59

it. That's true. I wear too much anyway about that

1:02:00

stuff. Yeah. You know? So

1:02:02

so so far so good. Well, wish you I wish

1:02:05

you the best enough. Thank you. Pizza or no

1:02:07

1:02:09

pizza last night. My beautiful wife celebrated, and this

1:02:11

is dosing at her fiftieth birthday. And

1:02:13

so we went to Barron's last night.

1:02:15

Her father, Walter, took us off for dinner, and

1:02:18

we loved we had a great dinner to celebrate

1:02:20

Danielle's birthday at Barron's her favorite pizza

1:02:22

place. Oh. Brody's? Yeah. Have

1:02:24

you ever been to Brody's? No. It's in where's

1:02:27

that

1:02:27

Valley Glen? It's it's I'm gonna

1:02:29

check it out. Sherman Oaks Van Nuys. I don't know

1:02:31

what he's got. Oxnard and --

1:02:33

Right. -- if it's Some people check

1:02:35

it. Okay. It's kinda in

1:02:36

Fulton. It's kinda like Garron's neighborhood. You don't know

1:02:38

what you're where you are. Yeah.

1:02:39

But it just seems a little nicer than where you are.

1:02:41

Oh, it's definitely nicer. I'm just saying in terms of

1:02:43

not knowing which the actual neighborhood is.

1:02:45

Yeah. It it you're right. It's it's the try

1:02:47

corners of -- Yeah. -- it's Valigland. It is Valigland.

1:02:50

So head of Valigland. Now

1:02:52

Joe, look, That's Italian. That's

1:02:55

Italian. That's

1:02:56

Italian. Yeah.

1:02:57

That's a worry. I that's a mor

1:02:59

and that's a moray. I'm laughing because,

1:03:03

you know, my grandfather

1:03:05

told me that that's how you pronounce the name. And

1:03:07

I learned that at, like, twenty one or twenty

1:03:09

two. And so I'm, like, well, that's how I pronounce

1:03:11

it. And and yet, so many of my friends,

1:03:13

some of which you know, a lot of the

1:03:15

guys in the state college. Everyone knew

1:03:17

me. And that was me. It's a lot Truglio. And by

1:03:20

the way, I don't mind either pronunciations. They

1:03:22

would they would pronounce g. They pronounce

1:03:24

a g. And because I also

1:03:26

pronounce a g when I first met them. You did.

1:03:29

Oh, yeah. Yeah. And then and then I and then

1:03:31

my grandfather was like, you know, it's It's

1:03:33

really, literally, I'm like, oh, I'm just gonna

1:03:35

I'll just say that. And so I got a lot

1:03:38

of ball busting. Maybe rightfully so for, like,

1:03:40

changing my the name horse -- Mhmm. -- or the

1:03:42

midstream. Right. You know? So

1:03:44

fair enough. There is a character after

1:03:46

he since passed away who was a friend of

1:03:48

my I told the story. He

1:03:51

he was friends with Mel Brooks. He was not all the Mel Brooks

1:03:53

movies. A guy named lead Delano. Okay?

1:03:55

And at eighty five eighty five years

1:03:57

old, He went you know, I mean,

1:03:59

I think it's Lee Delano. I'm gonna go by Lee

1:04:02

Delano. Why not

1:04:04

Lee? Why? At eighty five

1:04:06

years old, would you change the way you pronounce your

1:04:08

name. And nobody did it. Nobody nobody

1:04:10

went along with it. Sure. Sure. Well, I mean,

1:04:12

I can't put I mean, I wasn't eighty five, I

1:04:14

was twenty two, but the principle is the same. Especially,

1:04:17

you know, at that where everyone you know at that

1:04:20

point. So that's why I, you know,

1:04:22

I go either way on this one. But, yeah, so truly it

1:04:24

was how it's pronounced. And the g is silent.

1:04:26

I would I would not think it'd be pronounced any other

1:04:28

way because the g would be silent. Although I do

1:04:30

pronounce it when I'm spelling it because I'll go

1:04:32

It's a little of when I'm putting

1:04:35

it into a document. Right. Pardo

1:04:37

is is what? That's Italian. That is Italian. Yeah.

1:04:39

That's what I thought. Okay. Yeah. I I did one

1:04:41

of those twenty three in me's or

1:04:43

whatever. Yeah.

1:04:43

Yeah. What else you got in you? Well, I

1:04:45

I growing up, Joe, I always was told I'm fifty

1:04:47

percent Italian. Yep. A quarter Irish, a quarter

1:04:50

German. Okay. And even to my dad

1:04:52

surprise, it turns out we're not as Italian

1:04:54

as we think we are. Oh, yeah. My dad thought

1:04:56

he was one hundred percent Italian. And it turns

1:04:58

out there's a lot of Greek. Ah.

1:05:00

And what else is right around? There's turkey right around there?

1:05:02

Mhmm. Yeah. And some turkey. Yep.

1:05:04

And maybe a sliver of French. Maybe.

1:05:07

Wow. Out. But there's some Greek in there?

1:05:09

Yeah. So instead of fifty

1:05:11

percent Italian, I think I'm forty

1:05:13

six percent Italian. I'm forty

1:05:15

four Italian pick them

1:05:18

forty

1:05:19

Irish. Yeah. And

1:05:20

then the

1:05:22

rest I'm not the rest I forget. The rest is like

1:05:24

a Slavic or nations

1:05:27

there. And and the Irish side,

1:05:29

I thought actually was a little bit more than the Italian.

1:05:32

Put its own it's forty percent forty

1:05:34

percent but got enough for a

1:05:36

for a citizenship. For for Ireland?

1:05:38

Yeah. What now? Yeah. That's enough.

1:05:40

I I well, I tried Italy first

1:05:43

because that seemed to make sense. But

1:05:45

I could not find my great grandfather.

1:05:48

I hired Italian lawyer and he

1:05:50

he's from Sicily and, you

1:05:52

know, this is why I wanna get on finding your roots

1:05:54

because, like, I've done a lot of research and can't.

1:05:57

He's disappeared. He had an olive oil

1:05:59

business, and then that was, like,

1:06:01

taken from him by Lacoste Nordstrom.

1:06:03

Is this what I'm told from the the

1:06:06

relatives? But I have no idea. So I

1:06:08

I went that way to for the

1:06:10

dual citizenship. No luck.

1:06:12

And it shifted over to Ireland, which I'm quite

1:06:14

happy about that. And they were they were happy and you did this in

1:06:16

two thousand sixteen when Trump

1:06:18

won? Is that when

1:06:19

You know, the the irony is that I did,

1:06:21

but it was at the beginning. The the process

1:06:23

I started in twenty fifteen. So I kind

1:06:25

of got it right when Trump was elected

1:06:27

and worked out. Mhmm. And you go

1:06:30

over there and visits, I the last time I was

1:06:32

there was for my Basel Pardo, which

1:06:34

was in twenty fourteen, in

1:06:36

March twenty fourteen. And it was amazing. I haven't

1:06:38

been there since I'm my family my

1:06:40

mother's dad is from Cork, and

1:06:43

we we flew into

1:06:45

Shannon, which is on the west side of the island. And we

1:06:47

were there. Bunch of buddies of mine, we had a great me

1:06:49

get you. I was just gonna follow-up with that. So where's

1:06:52

the buddies from the state or buddy from high school?

1:06:55

Some from high school, some other New

1:06:57

York friends, New York actor friends -- Right. --

1:06:59

of a group of guys that played poker with.

1:07:01

I've been playing for, like, twenty years. Some of

1:07:03

those guys and

1:07:05

high school, a couple I

1:07:07

think, oh,

1:07:09

no. None

1:07:09

of those state guys could make it I think

1:07:11

that trip. Yeah. They couldn't make it. They couldn't make

1:07:13

it. They couldn't make it. Joe's having a bad

1:07:15

party. Mhmm. And then Lenin can't pull himself

1:07:17

away from man. Lenin

1:07:19

would have been there in a hard me. They all would have if they

1:07:21

could have, but who knows? It was, like, kind of, last

1:07:23

minute. like, let's all go over Ireland and because

1:07:26

I was was that's what it's coming back now.

1:07:29

Another buddy of mine my buddy, John

1:07:31

Dinklage, was getting

1:07:32

married. And as well, we kind of

1:07:34

combined ah, we

1:07:35

combined a master Pardo. For you. So you

1:07:37

just you know that Dinklage does not get along with

1:07:39

the state.

1:07:40

And then he's got a real case, Michael. He's

1:07:42

in he's a kid in the hall guy, and he will

1:07:44

fight anybody. He will fight fight you to fight

1:07:46

you to now. Since the state I just saw

1:07:48

some of the state guys. You Europe had a sketchmaster.

1:07:51

Yeah. And it was fantastic. Good see everybody.

1:07:53

Great great to see everybody. I we did

1:07:56

there's a couple things. So Kim Reno and David

1:07:58

Wayne had

1:08:00

a a screenplay that has screenplay reading of, which was

1:08:02

fun. And then they did

1:08:04

this thing called middle aged dad jam.

1:08:07

So David Wayne had been like just jamming

1:08:09

with like with no irony

1:08:11

just chamming with with some friends in his garage.

1:08:13

Do you mean like you playing guitar or playing guitar? Yeah.

1:08:15

Keybird's a whole thing doing, you know, songs that you and

1:08:17

I played back in the day. And

1:08:19

and then they decided to do a show,

1:08:22

like and and they're like, do you wanna

1:08:24

sing some? I'm like, yeah. Of course, I I'd love to come

1:08:26

in. But I'm like, what's the what's

1:08:28

the bit? What's the Mhmm. And

1:08:31

I'm like, they're like, no. We're just gonna

1:08:33

I'm like, can you show tickets? Tickets. Money

1:08:36

show. To for us to play,

1:08:38

like, covers. I'm like, yeah. Well,

1:08:40

I'm like, okay. And so we did a couple of

1:08:43

small little it's between songs,

1:08:45

but it went great. I had a great

1:08:47

time. What'd you sing? I sing

1:08:49

Baker Street and I sing the jury

1:08:51

rafferty. Some jury rafferty and

1:08:53

I did an American girl with petty.

1:08:56

And then I had a bit during law for Atlanta

1:08:59

for Joel. So, you know, the bit was I

1:09:01

came up and I come up. We have

1:09:03

a special guest Gilatulio, and he I

1:09:05

come up, hey, Joe, and I see you. Joe's gonna

1:09:07

play the dad in this next song, love Elena.

1:09:10

But you need a mustache. Right? I

1:09:12

it's okay. I got one, Dave. I got a mustache.

1:09:14

And so we go through the whole song and the playlist

1:09:17

song where the the the the the the stop. When the

1:09:19

dad says, stop. I'm just kind of standing

1:09:21

next to Kimorino with my arms folded

1:09:23

waiting for that moment and taking a

1:09:25

nice long time to put that on there. And then say, stop,

1:09:27

then quickly take off the the mustache

1:09:29

and shake his hand, kinda leave. That's the level

1:09:31

of kind of bit that we're doing. Okay. Just

1:09:34

insertion, little something. Little something.

1:09:36

Because some people don't feel better that they paid money

1:09:38

to watch -- They made no -- songs. --

1:09:40

feel bad perhaps too. Right? Well,

1:09:43

not from their reaction. I mean, they yeah. They

1:09:45

genuinely did. And and look, I was surprised.

1:09:47

What venue was this? This was

1:09:49

at the Swedish american hall. Oh, so

1:09:51

a a decent size venue. A decent size

1:09:53

venue. Yeah. And and then

1:09:55

the last I did three things. And the other thing

1:09:57

I did was with Tom and

1:10:00

Carrie Tom Leonard and Carrie Kenny, Veeva

1:10:03

Variety, repo. Right. And that was that

1:10:05

was a lot of fun too. Was that the big III

1:10:08

know they do attributes to folks up there.

1:10:10

Was there anything going on we can I

1:10:12

wanna say it might have been to Bruce Campbell?

1:10:15

Oh, the lights? Yeah. Yeah. I think yes. I think

1:10:17

so. That was the big one. No.

1:10:19

This was, like, I think they had

1:10:21

a live streamcast though via Variety

1:10:23

did. Oh, great. Of this. Which and that was a lot of

1:10:26

fun. It's always great to goof around with those guys.

1:10:28

Sure. You know? But I've also, like,

1:10:30

just loved jumping around

1:10:32

too. I just love groups of people that like,

1:10:35

love comedy and and like to collaborate. And

1:10:37

Yeah. -- you know, and and

1:10:39

the thing about the state, which is great,

1:10:41

is that we kind of grew up together. And the thing that's not

1:10:43

great about the state, is that we grew up together. We

1:10:45

know each other. Yeah. So it's it's one of those,

1:10:48

like, back and forth, but all of them are just I

1:10:50

love them dearly. They're just because of the history, you know,

1:10:52

Now, what about little Eli? Is he enjoying

1:10:54

does he enjoy comedy at all? Or Yes.

1:10:58

Yes, he is. We just

1:11:00

watched back to the future.

1:11:02

He loved that. Yeah. But also in

1:11:04

general, he he likes comedy,

1:11:07

and he loves how not funny I am.

1:11:09

And I kinda make a joke about it. I know you guys

1:11:12

have talked about dad jokes already, but,

1:11:15

like, a stocking stuff where I got was, like, bad

1:11:17

dad joke. So we do this thing where

1:11:19

during the bath, I come in. And we're like,

1:11:21

oh, thanks thanks everybody for coming again today.

1:11:23

I got a couple of good jobs for you. He would

1:11:25

just start rolling eyes and

1:11:28

giving the best dead pandemic ever

1:11:30

was just fantastic. So we

1:11:32

were doing that running a bit for a while. So he

1:11:34

is into looks and

1:11:38

and quick remarks.

1:11:41

Like, it just like kind of a side. Yeah. Yeah.

1:11:43

He's into that. So he's I'm proud of him.

1:11:45

I'm proud of him. He's got some good he's got time. Got

1:11:47

it. He's got good timing. Yeah. That's great. Yeah.

1:11:49

By the way, I mentioned this in the last episode and

1:11:51

it places because that the show is squeaky

1:11:54

clean.

1:11:55

Nate Pardo seasonal special. Yeah. This is

1:11:57

terrific. I just watched it. Did we get it? Okay. Yeah.

1:11:59

Great. The the bit I'll

1:12:01

just I'm not giving anything

1:12:04

away. The golf bit -- Yeah.

1:12:06

-- had me literally deaf jam

1:12:08

falling off the chair laughing. And that is

1:12:10

Yeah. I'm comedian. Yeah. I've seen it all.

1:12:12

Like, I don't you know, it's it's but

1:12:15

it's good stuff.

1:12:15

Yeah. Did you guys enjoy it? I did. Yeah. We

1:12:17

all did. It was I I was trying I

1:12:19

think you said that both. You said the same thing.

1:12:22

You didn't say what the bit was, but you said there was

1:12:24

something that had you laughing that Pardo. And

1:12:26

so watching, I was trying to figure it

1:12:27

out. And that was one of my guesses was the

1:12:29

golf thing. But there's like there's like five things

1:12:31

that could have been that thing. That's how good it is. Yeah. It's

1:12:33

really good. It's I'll check that out for sure.

1:12:36

He's good. It's good for

1:12:38

you know, Oliver. I I was showing Oliver comedy

1:12:40

early too. Yeah. There's these guys, you know, John

1:12:43

Mulaney is the same way as Sark Etsy and there's,

1:12:45

know, Kathleen they're clean. Yeah.

1:12:47

Yeah. And Brian Regan -- Yeah. -- you

1:12:49

could show them to your kid -- Yeah. -- without wear

1:12:52

I don't care if you swear or whatever your accent is.

1:12:54

But for the kids -- Yeah. Yeah.

1:12:56

So to get Oliver and

1:12:57

interested, so there's so if Eli cares,

1:12:59

Nate Marc gets you back to sort of operate

1:13:01

I'll I'll I'll take that. I'm also just into

1:13:04

showing all the movies that we love. Right? I'm sure you want

1:13:06

to persist with Oliver. And and the inevitable

1:13:08

fact that he will not love them

1:13:11

as much at all or at all. Right.

1:13:13

You know, so he knows that,

1:13:15

you know, that I love jaws as, you know, my

1:13:17

favorites and and Trust me. Have jaws already. No. No.

1:13:19

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. But he my board

1:13:21

is that he he keeps asking about

1:13:23

it,

1:13:24

you know. So but

1:13:26

what I did show just on

1:13:28

Saturday, Meaning buddy took

1:13:30

our our boys to see Raiders of Lost

1:13:32

Star. Yeah. Right? And theater. And so yeah.

1:13:34

So Paul Shere there with his boys. It was great.

1:13:36

And it was 3124 great vibe And

1:13:39

and I, you know, before it starts, I'm like, listen, you know,

1:13:41

listen, if there's any if it gets intense or

1:13:44

you have any questions, you know, know, let me

1:13:46

know. And I'm I'm expecting he's

1:13:48

gonna be upset about the blood or maybe he wants

1:13:50

to know what Nazis are or or like what what's

1:13:52

the arc? So at the

1:13:54

point in the movie where, like, Mariner

1:13:56

Ravenwood is is now hostage. You

1:13:58

know, she's in the tent and, you know, it's into the

1:14:00

movie and Belknap comes in and he's

1:14:02

trying to sweet talk and she's trying to

1:14:04

escape. He leans over, he's like,

1:14:06

so she didn't really like him. Right? She just wants

1:14:08

to get the hell out of there. No. Really, like and, like,

1:14:11

he's just picking up on these politics

1:14:13

of these and stuff like that.

1:14:15

I just it wasn't the question I was

1:14:17

expecting from the seven year old,

1:14:19

but already he's on he's on to, like, you

1:14:21

know, trick trickery. Yeah. And and

1:14:23

and duplicitousness. By the way,

1:14:25

these young people, they they know not sooner than

1:14:27

we ever did. So yeah. He's not gonna ask

1:14:30

about that because he knows she knows

1:14:31

already. Yeah. Or she knows the Nazis. That's

1:14:33

crazy. But we had a great time. That was great.

1:14:35

That's the exact age I was when I

1:14:37

saw when when raiders came out, I

1:14:39

saw it at seven. Oh, man. And

1:14:42

I got that was one of the only movies

1:14:44

I I had to leave because I was too scared

1:14:46

because I

1:14:47

was, like, a very, like, impression of a kid

1:14:49

that got scared. Tell

1:14:50

him that what the hell scared you. Tell him a song

1:14:52

that scared Oh, the song Wild Boys Bad

1:14:54

Duran. Wild Boys scared me

1:14:56

because just it's ominous. It's

1:14:58

ominous, Joe. So listen to listen

1:15:00

to the drums and thing Exactly. Thing going

1:15:02

on. There's

1:15:05

there's someone under the circle that's on.

1:15:07

The sinister -- Really? -- ministers waiting

1:15:09

to pounce. Yeah. You know, I will I

1:15:11

used to listen to radio, like, as I was going

1:15:13

to sleep at night, they would do, like, the top ten at

1:15:15

ten.

1:15:15

Yeah. And that song came on and I was, like, going

1:15:17

to bed and I was god. This is too scary for bedtime. Like,

1:15:20

I gotta turn it off. Oh my god. But yeah. But raiders,

1:15:22

it was like the part where there isn't nothing.

1:15:24

There is it's just a mood, but when they're digging

1:15:26

in the sand, you know, like -- Yeah. --

1:15:28

like, you know, that freaked me. I was like,

1:15:30

something bad's happening.

1:15:31

Yeah. Well, the sun is setting. Sun setting. Yeah.

1:15:33

Absolutely. So there's it was, like, everyone was

1:15:35

oh, was it the snakes? I was like, I didn't even even didn't

1:15:37

get that for those snakes. Well, there is a

1:15:39

big jump scare at that moment where they pull

1:15:42

off the big slab. And they have that

1:15:44

statue of that dragon there. Right? That's what's right

1:15:46

behind there. But you're yeah. I see what you're

1:15:48

saying. You're saying in general that kind of It was

1:15:50

the mood of it being to me. And I was like, I can't

1:15:52

I I don't I was to the anticipation

1:15:54

of what was gonna be in the under

1:15:56

this

1:15:56

earth. It was scary. Where was it playing?

1:15:58

Where was that that new bev? The new bev? Of

1:16:01

course, it was. Yeah. And it was it

1:16:03

was terrific. And, you know, the favorite

1:16:05

parts that Eli, of course, loved were the parts

1:16:07

that probably terrified you, which is like --

1:16:09

Yeah. -- what's your favorite party? Like, nice face

1:16:11

melts. Yeah. Of

1:16:14

course, you know. It is good. It's a it's a very

1:16:16

memorable moment. Yeah. Everyone who's seen that remembers.

1:16:18

Yeah.

1:16:19

Yeah. Oh, well, I again,

1:16:21

we wouldn't have had time this weekend, but Sure.

1:16:23

I know. I love I love seeing those things on the

1:16:25

big screen. Oh, it's great. It was great. And it was

1:16:27

cool because guess it was Quentin Tarantino's

1:16:29

own a a print of the movie, so it

1:16:31

had it was a fine print, it had little

1:16:33

scratches, and -- Mhmm. -- you could see that, like, it was one

1:16:35

of the studios I got to get out of this one. But

1:16:37

it it added to the whole experience

1:16:40

-- Sure. -- of of seeing it was was great.

1:16:42

Cool. I'll over and I over the weekend, we

1:16:44

watched a film noir, sixty

1:16:46

eight minutes long, called detour.

1:16:50

Nobody you know is in it? We just were not

1:16:52

only like and we were we we

1:16:54

searched so long, we ran out of time to

1:16:56

watch a long

1:16:57

movie. Mhmm. You know what I mean?

1:16:58

Yeah. Yeah. Now we don't have time for a movie.

1:17:00

Yeah. And then this thing popped up. It it it said

1:17:02

in the description, the film noir masterpiece.

1:17:04

We're like, let's get that a go. And we loved

1:17:07

it. Oh, cool. It's called detour, and it's got

1:17:09

all that one guy's talking about

1:17:11

you know, as soon as she got in my nerves, so I kicked her out,

1:17:13

and I got to hear what's that stuff. That's right.

1:17:16

Like, it's that kind of AAA

1:17:19

banter that's, you know I think you're why. Eyes

1:17:21

on. It's all that We got all

1:17:22

that. This is the big bang. They had a sweet snake, you know.

1:17:27

And a couple of phrases like that on on some of

1:17:29

those movies. By the way, Street

1:17:31

to San Francisco, which is early seventies, Carl

1:17:34

Maldon's character said Mike Stone

1:17:36

said you keep it up. I'll have

1:17:38

you buy the arm all the way up to the elbow. I

1:17:41

don't know what it means, but I loved

1:17:43

it. Right. That's so great.

1:17:46

The phrase are colorful. This isn't from, like, this

1:17:48

is an old phrase, but a buddy of mine when time

1:17:50

was talking about used the phrase

1:17:53

all up and down the day. So, like, oh,

1:17:55

no. I was I was working all up and

1:17:57

down the day. No. I was saying when my buddies all up and

1:17:59

1:18:01

the thought of that. Yeah. It's just

1:18:04

up to date and die. It's just all

1:18:05

day. More than all day. All up and

1:18:07

down the day, you know. And just the extra word Yes.

1:18:10

Like, we've got we've got so much extra time.

1:18:12

Yeah. I just wanna say extra words that don't need

1:18:14

1:24:33

Yeah. Yeah. It's AIII thought it was

1:24:35

a really great episode. Nice. That's good to

hear. And then Coldplay comes on at places the same

1:24:39

song they've been playing for forty five years.

1:24:42

Do you like that

1:24:42

song? What's that? It is like It's the best

1:24:44

song. I mean, for whatever that's worth. What

1:24:47

is put a snooze a roof for me. I've you're

1:24:49

over the second. The first song I think is a new song that

1:24:52

I was like, it just sounds like every other song. That's

1:24:54

my point. No. But the second one really is an

1:24:56

old song of

1:24:56

theirs. Didn't even watch Okay. That was

1:24:58

an f f situation. Mhmm.

1:25:01

That was a fuck Frank. Oh, you

1:25:03

went in the other 3124, fuck Frank. I fuck Frank. Frank

1:25:05

deserved it. Frank was fun. As a guy, you

1:25:07

own a gas station work with in the oh, okay. And

1:25:10

I just didn't inside this is an inside job? No.

1:25:12

Oh, just started right

1:25:14

now. Oh, okay. For a winter born, by

1:25:16

the way,

1:25:16

dead. Oh. He was speaking to

1:25:18

Citi. He's not even He lived at full life.

1:25:20

Yeah.

1:25:21

You're in a big He lived at full life. Frank, there's a hundred

1:25:23

percent true of Frankfurt, so it was an Amoco gas

1:25:25

station. And it was on the corner of a hundred fifty

1:25:27

ninth in Harlem, and there were three gas stations

1:25:29

on that corner. There was a mobile and then something

1:25:32

else than the zamacallit. And

1:25:34

Frank, on Sunday mornings,

1:25:36

would go and park at the mobile and

1:25:39

spy on us with binoculars. Really?

1:25:42

Yeah. And it's like, what what do you think

1:25:44

we're doing? We're we're

1:25:46

pumping gas. Like, this is back when

1:25:48

it was full service. Yeah. Sure. Sure. And it's like,

1:25:50

what what do you and we'd see them.

1:25:52

We we'd like oh, they're frank,

1:25:54

you know. Frank, buddy. Yeah. Right.

1:25:57

Waving.

1:25:57

Morning, Frank. Morning, Frank. How are you? To

1:25:59

to to be fair, have you not is

1:26:00

was it the gas station that you told stories where somebody

1:26:03

was playing games with a cashier Well, that was

1:26:05

that was at the gas station at the car wash.

1:26:07

People would do the void trick. That

1:26:09

if you came up and said, I'll take a car wash. Okay. That's

1:26:11

three fifty. Instead of ringing up three fifty,

1:26:13

you voided three fifty, and then pocket

1:26:15

seven

1:26:16

dollars, and then you'd have lunch money. So

1:26:18

so he was right

1:26:19

to watch you, but it would do any good. I didn't

1:26:21

do that. Sure,

1:26:22

sure. Some guys I mentioned, some guy did it so much.

1:26:24

He bought a moped. Wow.

1:26:27

Another guy may have bought a drum set, but

1:26:30

But then guys, hey, they didn't eat lunch.

1:26:33

But but even if you have binoculars, you

1:26:35

can't see that you can't avoid trip. There's no

1:26:37

way. No. It looked like you're doing your

1:26:39

job. So yeah. It was it was weird that

1:26:41

he would -- Yeah. -- I was gonna

1:26:43

say that's a troubled individual who spends his

1:26:45

off day spying on his plays, but it sounds like

1:26:47

you had reason to do it.

1:26:48

I just love that you were pumping gas.

1:26:50

Oh, you know what? We Like, that's a cool

1:26:52

job for the egg. You know, it was

1:26:54

a great job for the age. You know what I mean? And

1:26:56

believe it or not, I know what this sounds weird, but we

1:26:59

you also would meet girls because

1:27:01

girls are coming out of service, and and you

1:27:03

who in you talked to him. I'm gonna check the oil. Yeah.

1:27:05

Yeah. Yeah. And then one time, this is so

1:27:07

funny to this day this guy, Paul, boy, of

1:27:09

was my best friend in high school. He got a job. And

1:27:12

this girl would come in way too

1:27:14

much. It was clear she was flirting with me. Yeah.

1:27:16

And so I finally and she drove a transam

1:27:19

And she's gorgeous. Yeah.

1:27:21

And then I finally have the balls to

1:27:23

ask her out. And she's like, I thought you would

1:27:25
