00:00:10.459 --> 00:00:14.800
Hey folks, welcome back to Good News York. It's

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.019
still April or it is April and it's still cold.

00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.379
It's still cold. And I don't understand that,

00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.739
but there's no good news in that other than it

00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:26.640
should be ending soon. Look. And it gives me

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.859
an excuse to wear my new hoodie. Yeah. So I'm

00:00:29.859 --> 00:00:32.060
a hoodie connoisseur, so I don't, I guess I don't

00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:33.920
necessarily hate that. Being a weatherman is

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.100
like the only job you can keep and be wrong all

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:42.640
the time. 45 and a high of 97, but it's what

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.320
am what do I wear anyway enough about that? I'm

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.479
Mike Brindisi. This is Matt Mazer. What's up

00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.340
to me back? He's our first repeat guest I think

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:53.780
he is our first ever repeat guest our returning

00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:56.100
champion comedian extraordinary I kept knocking

00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:58.520
on the door. Please let me back in he did it

00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.500
was all he's like a cat we fed him once and He's

00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:04.379
waiting here every morning, and I love you, and

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:07.439
I'm so glad you're here. You've got a big you're

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.629
shooting a special 11 days in 11 days April 12th

00:01:11.629 --> 00:01:13.629
at the McCarthy Mercantile building in downtown

00:01:13.629 --> 00:01:16.489
Syracuse in the name of the special letters are

00:01:16.489 --> 00:01:19.250
hard. You've got to come to this. I'm obviously

00:01:19.250 --> 00:01:23.049
going to be there to show 7 p .m. and 9 p .m.

00:01:23.150 --> 00:01:24.890
I love that you're doing that. Let's jump right

00:01:24.890 --> 00:01:27.430
in. Why are you doing that to why am I doing

00:01:27.430 --> 00:01:29.250
two shows? Yeah, yeah, I know. But I'm going

00:01:29.250 --> 00:01:32.150
to pretend I don't know most tapings. They usually

00:01:32.150 --> 00:01:35.650
will do four shows actually or even more. I think

00:01:35.650 --> 00:01:39.760
Tom Segura said that he did. eight and really

00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.459
what it comes down to is you want to get it on

00:01:42.459 --> 00:01:46.280
the right take and sometimes something will happen

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.560
something will come up audiences now definitely

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.819
are and god bless them i don't particularly hate

00:01:50.819 --> 00:01:54.000
it is there's a lot more crowd work in stand

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.420
-up and stuff like that. So I think that they're

00:01:57.420 --> 00:02:00.739
expecting sometimes a bit more engagement. And

00:02:00.739 --> 00:02:03.680
specials usually, unless it's a crowd work special,

00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.840
is about the material. So you want to get in

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:08.699
a good take. Things can go wrong. Things can

00:02:08.699 --> 00:02:11.340
happen. So we're doing two just to be safe my

00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:14.360
last half hour. I had to cut out two jokes that

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.400
I really liked just because I fumbled over one.

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.620
And then the other time I had that crowd work

00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:23.400
engagement. And so just having to to be able

00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.740
to try it once. Maybe I'll get again back to

00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:28.740
Tom Segura. I think out of the eight, he said

00:02:28.740 --> 00:02:30.699
he got it on the second one and then the rest

00:02:30.699 --> 00:02:33.759
he could just have fun with. So, yeah, that's

00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.620
so smart. Gives you more to work with. Everybody

00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:40.819
wins. If you can't get into the first show, you

00:02:40.819 --> 00:02:42.479
can get into the second show and vice versa.

00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:45.460
Have you ever gone the route? I feel like you

00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:49.560
this would be a chance a Leap of faith, but I

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.180
feel like I want to it could have it could happen

00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:54.560
Have you ever done it to where you're like, you

00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.780
know what? It's 7 p .m I'm gonna tell this joke

00:02:56.780 --> 00:02:59.439
with this punch line, but I also like this punch

00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.219
line for it So I'll try that in the 9 o 'clock

00:03:01.219 --> 00:03:04.479
show. Are you doing that at all? I've done that

00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.960
with Not shows that I'd be recording, but I've

00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.400
done that on shows. There was a club in Times

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.719
Square called LOL, and they had three rooms,

00:03:14.979 --> 00:03:17.539
three rooms that they would fill with like 100

00:03:17.539 --> 00:03:19.300
people. It was crazy that they were able to get

00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:23.539
it. And you'd have six comics just. It was like

00:03:23.539 --> 00:03:25.560
Scooby -Doo when they go through the doors and

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.599
stuff like that. So you'd get off stage, someone

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.699
would open the door to the next room and you'd

00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:32.379
run in to be able to get on stage. And so sometimes

00:03:32.379 --> 00:03:33.680
you could definitely be like, okay, I'm gonna

00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.520
try this punch line here. But then it also became

00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.300
like a cloud of comedy where I'd be looking at

00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:41.159
a crowd and I'd be like, did I do this joke yet?

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.000
I literally just did it. I've done that before.

00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.219
I love toying around with different punchlines

00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:53.960
and it's been really fun working like I've jumped

00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.400
on every show that I can and every mic and so

00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.780
it's fun working with a lot of the comics in

00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:01.759
the scene like a lot of new comics and just talking

00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.719
about punchlines and what if you did it this

00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.439
way have you thought about that and so it's really

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.080
fun I love that process and that part of it so

00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:17.379
yeah I remember when I was I did comedy. I don't

00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:20.360
know why I can't speak today man. I'm bad five

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:28.560
strokes already on the air Sorry Brian Deep breath

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:34.300
No, so I've I've had moments where in music and

00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:37.720
in comedy But I've always felt like when I was

00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.360
when I wrote a song I was never satisfied because

00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.259
I thought there's fucking 80 ,000 more melodies

00:04:44.259 --> 00:04:45.839
I could have came up with and what if the one

00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.120
I'm sticking with is not The one that is the

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.439
best melody for this when I and in jokes I feel

00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.439
like I go through that sometimes too where I'm

00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.720
like the setup could be better It's just it's

00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.860
all part of the process, but it just drives you

00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:02.920
crazy. Sometimes you find that yeah, and I worked

00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:07.379
in TV for a while as a producer and When you're

00:05:07.379 --> 00:05:09.920
on the other side of it and there is a time crunch

00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.079
when there is you're the one kind of setting

00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.079
the deadline it definitely helps I think with

00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.120
the process because Without it things could always

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.220
keep going you hear about these directors who

00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:25.439
have been working on a film for 12 years and

00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.060
it just keeps spiraling and it's because No one

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:30.040
said, hey, it's got to be done by Tuesday. And

00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.639
so I think sometimes you just are putting it

00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.139
as it is. I'm always surprised that a stand -up

00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:41.720
hasn't done a retooling of some of their older

00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.899
material. I'm surprised at Seinfeld. I know he

00:05:44.899 --> 00:05:47.120
did a special where he did all of his old material

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.660
and talked about that process. But it would have

00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:53.600
been interesting to see what 55 year old Seinfeld

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.779
would have done with this joke versus what he

00:05:55.779 --> 00:05:58.300
was doing when he was 20 So that's always interesting

00:05:58.300 --> 00:06:00.480
to me to see if people would because there's

00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.939
tons of jokes. I would have gone back and done

00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:05.920
Differently or punched up differently or put

00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.680
somewhere else. Yeah, one of my favorite stories

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.680
I actually I probably told this on the air. So

00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.819
I forgive me if I have but to your point I was

00:06:14.819 --> 00:06:17.339
in the studio with my band when I was doing music

00:06:17.339 --> 00:06:22.439
for a while and we were like In the 11th hour

00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.060
of this song and it was the last song to go on

00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:27.680
the record And I kept saying let's do this and

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.279
the producer finally looked at me and he goes

00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.180
sees that shelf over there And there was a shelf

00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:35.740
of CDs at the time and he's every single one

00:06:35.740 --> 00:06:38.240
of those albums was recorded here He's the only

00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.019
reason they were finished is because we either

00:06:40.019 --> 00:06:42.540
ran out of time or we ran out of money He's I

00:06:42.540 --> 00:06:44.220
could have sat I could still be sitting here

00:06:44.220 --> 00:06:46.300
today tweaking this song It's like an artist

00:06:46.300 --> 00:06:48.779
with a canvas like you wake up you walk by and

00:06:48.779 --> 00:06:52.129
you go, okay You can always brush it up and you're

00:06:52.129 --> 00:06:54.050
so right and especially in the ADHD world you

00:06:54.050 --> 00:06:56.610
get it Deadlines are everything the worst thing

00:06:56.610 --> 00:06:59.290
someone could tell you is just get it to me whenever

00:06:59.290 --> 00:07:04.170
yeah whenever is like the worst We talked about

00:07:04.170 --> 00:07:07.290
this last time I was on just the no just this

00:07:07.290 --> 00:07:10.009
scheduling and how is particularly this one However,

00:07:10.050 --> 00:07:12.449
the special turns out. I'm already happy with

00:07:12.449 --> 00:07:15.569
myself for immediately jumping into tasks. It's

00:07:15.569 --> 00:07:18.189
not waiting till later scheduling it out and

00:07:18.170 --> 00:07:22.209
That's such a big part of that process. But yeah,

00:07:22.449 --> 00:07:25.069
I think you just got to be able to say, I got

00:07:25.069 --> 00:07:28.550
to have it done by this time. And it that's the

00:07:28.550 --> 00:07:31.550
best version of it. It is. I wanted to ask you

00:07:31.550 --> 00:07:34.389
this last time. So I'm so glad you're here again.

00:07:35.730 --> 00:07:38.569
Obviously, Brian Inc. Recording his special letters

00:07:38.569 --> 00:07:40.730
are hard at the McCartney, McCarthy, Mercantile

00:07:40.730 --> 00:07:43.709
and downtown Syracuse 12 to show seven and nine

00:07:43.709 --> 00:07:47.029
p .m. What day of the week is that Saturday?

00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.879
Saturday, that's Saturday. We love Saturdays.

00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.379
So the question I wonder about is. Back in the

00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:59.139
day, you never the comedian never really dictated

00:07:59.139 --> 00:08:01.800
when they got the special because it was you

00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.600
worked at stand up, you worked doing your stand

00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.620
up and hopefully one day a network would approach

00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:08.540
you and say, we want to shoot you shoot a special.

00:08:08.860 --> 00:08:11.040
Now, just like the music business in the comedy

00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.060
world, in the podcast world, you just put your

00:08:14.060 --> 00:08:19.250
stuff out there and you. run the show. From your

00:08:19.250 --> 00:08:22.509
point of view, as a comedian myself, I'm asking,

00:08:23.110 --> 00:08:25.550
when do you know? You know what? I think I'm

00:08:25.550 --> 00:08:27.910
at that point where I can record a special. I

00:08:27.910 --> 00:08:29.970
know you've already recorded a special, but like,

00:08:29.990 --> 00:08:33.090
when do you know? I think I have it's what's

00:08:33.090 --> 00:08:38.590
my time. Oh, it's when you and I did this today.

00:08:38.590 --> 00:08:42.710
It's when you go in the fridge and say that pork

00:08:42.710 --> 00:08:44.470
shoulder is going to go bad if I don't cook it.

00:08:44.509 --> 00:08:48.269
And these jokes are going to go bad for me. They're

00:08:48.269 --> 00:08:50.210
going to go to a place where I'm like, I've done

00:08:50.210 --> 00:08:54.309
them so many times. And they don't have the pop

00:08:54.309 --> 00:08:56.230
anymore with the audience because they don't

00:08:56.230 --> 00:08:58.590
have the pop with me anymore. I'm not excited

00:08:58.590 --> 00:09:02.450
to do these jokes. And right now I love these

00:09:02.450 --> 00:09:05.450
jokes, but I know in the next month or so I'm

00:09:05.450 --> 00:09:09.070
ready to move on to other material. And so that's

00:09:09.070 --> 00:09:10.690
what it is when you just reach that point where

00:09:10.690 --> 00:09:14.330
you're like, this is going good. let's do it

00:09:14.330 --> 00:09:16.629
before I start getting bored with these stories.

00:09:16.649 --> 00:09:20.710
And it's also my last special, I talked about

00:09:20.710 --> 00:09:25.210
being in a relationship that's, it's before I

00:09:25.210 --> 00:09:26.789
met my wife, it was years before I met my wife.

00:09:27.009 --> 00:09:30.590
And it's funny to see because I'm uploading those

00:09:30.590 --> 00:09:34.350
clips to promote the special also, I've been

00:09:34.350 --> 00:09:37.850
getting messages from people who are like, Lakshmi's

00:09:37.850 --> 00:09:40.889
not from Philadelphia. I have a joke about dating

00:09:40.889 --> 00:09:42.340
a girl from Philly and everyone's like, your

00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:44.240
wife's not from, I'm like, I know this, there's,

00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:46.039
I need to put a timestamp on this. This is from

00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:49.259
before. And so there's, I'm going to be reaching

00:09:49.259 --> 00:09:51.860
stages in my life where I'm like, oh, I'm not

00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:54.740
going to do this joke anymore because I'm going

00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:57.240
to start talking about what it's like to be not

00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.980
a newlywed, but like a married guy and a dad

00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:02.159
and that stuff. So right now this whole thing,

00:10:02.740 --> 00:10:05.399
this whole special feels, and it's talking about

00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.460
a few things, but it really is newly married.

00:10:10.139 --> 00:10:12.460
being in an interracial marriage, which is super

00:10:12.460 --> 00:10:15.799
funny and Moving up to Syracuse I talk about

00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.440
how different it is from New York City and then

00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.980
just all these jokes feel really good to me right

00:10:20.980 --> 00:10:23.799
now and I'm ready to leave them there and move

00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.120
on to the next stuff So that's when you just

00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.080
like if I don't do it now this meat's gonna spoil.

00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.320
No, that's a great That's a great metaphor. Yeah

00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.799
for that. What? What do you do with a special

00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:36.659
like this? Is this something that you now make

00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:41.279
available and have folks? Is it, do you try to

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.580
sell it to Netflix? What, how does this work?

00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.379
There's a few ways to do it. They're the last

00:10:47.379 --> 00:10:51.740
one I didn't really shop around. It was mid pandemic.

00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.000
I'm sure I could have, but I just wanted it up.

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.179
And I also know. I'm a no name, so I just wanted

00:10:58.179 --> 00:11:00.720
it out there. It's not like people work. You're

00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.820
not a no name. I'm somebody. You are somebody

00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:06.700
to someone. I think with this one, I'm going

00:11:06.700 --> 00:11:10.360
to do more of a push to work with a production

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.860
company. There are so many you hit on it that

00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:15.820
there's so much self produced artists right now

00:11:15.820 --> 00:11:19.440
and podcasts and music that I do that. There

00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.000
are smaller scale production companies that are

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.419
working with those not smaller scale in a bad

00:11:25.419 --> 00:11:28.799
way. It's like shopping local versus shopping

00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.720
Walmart. There's more local production, and it's

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.340
interesting where the deals, and it's not about

00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:37.519
the deals, but it's interesting where the stuff's

00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.039
going. I think Hulu has a really good model right

00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.940
now of Bill Burr, Roy Wood Jr., oh, talk about,

00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:46.740
we're gonna talk about later, underrated comedian.

00:11:46.820 --> 00:11:48.840
Roy Wood Jr. is the most underrated comedian

00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:53.100
living right now. But Hulu's deal is, you put

00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:56.149
it on our platform, you get to put it on your

00:11:56.149 --> 00:11:58.570
YouTube channel, which is super smart for them

00:11:58.570 --> 00:12:02.169
because the Hulu stamp will be there. So you're

00:12:02.169 --> 00:12:05.470
gonna bring Roy Wood Jr.'s audience into Hulu's

00:12:05.470 --> 00:12:09.090
verse. Hulu's verse is gonna go to Roy Wood Jr.'s.

00:12:09.450 --> 00:12:12.190
And a lot of comics were self -producing on YouTube

00:12:12.190 --> 00:12:15.000
because they wanted to have... the rights to

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.059
their contract. And a couple production companies

00:12:17.059 --> 00:12:19.179
that I've talked with, they've had that, where

00:12:19.179 --> 00:12:21.259
they're like, every year we renegotiate. If you

00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:22.940
wanna try to send it somewhere else, you can,

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:24.919
but it can live on our platform, and every year

00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:29.340
we renegotiate versus in perpetuity throughout

00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:32.500
the universe forever and all time. So I think

00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:35.460
it's a really interesting place where... The

00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:38.240
business side of the art is going and I think

00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.000
that can only help the artist create what they

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.279
authentically wanted to do I think we'll see

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.419
a lot more of stuff funded and shot by the artists

00:12:46.419 --> 00:12:49.360
and then share with the production company So

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.419
that's very interesting because that's what I

00:12:51.419 --> 00:12:53.059
was gonna actually ask you when I hear the words

00:12:53.059 --> 00:12:55.419
production company I assume they are the ones

00:12:55.419 --> 00:12:58.299
who have to show up and shoot the thing in all

00:12:58.299 --> 00:13:01.019
that We definitely had one in particular. We

00:13:01.019 --> 00:13:03.960
had that offer for them to fund it and produce

00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.500
it But in that world, it's percentages change

00:13:09.500 --> 00:13:12.279
a lot as well as stand up because I think I did

00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:14.580
the first one. I know what that budget looks

00:13:14.580 --> 00:13:17.659
like. I know what that timeline looks like. So

00:13:17.659 --> 00:13:23.320
I knew I could do it myself. Sure. If I. If one

00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:26.000
of the scripts I'm working on gets picked up,

00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.659
that's something that I would not. I would say,

00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:30.539
I don't know, you have that. I don't know that

00:13:30.539 --> 00:13:33.620
world. I don't know how to create that. So it's

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:35.500
what you feel like. You guys knew that you could

00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:38.059
do a podcast because you knew the nuts and bolts

00:13:38.059 --> 00:13:40.860
of it. But if I was like, hey, we're going to

00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:43.240
go into, I don't know, we're going to go into

00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:44.860
a paint installation, you'd be like, we should

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:46.980
have someone else do that. That's not our skill

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:50.480
set. No, that's incredible. I've always. Wondered

00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.240
how those sorts of things work. So I think it's

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.700
neat that you're able to put these things together

00:13:54.700 --> 00:13:57.240
But then get the opportunity to get it in this

00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:01.039
man. Yeah, you're right. It definitely was you

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.240
Got big either on a late -night spot or something

00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.279
like that And then you worked out a deal with

00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.379
a place and you did your half hour whether it

00:14:10.379 --> 00:14:13.879
was Comedy Central or HBO or wherever it was

00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.070
and now there's a lot more And you just go where

00:14:18.070 --> 00:14:20.649
the audience is also and the audience is watching

00:14:20.649 --> 00:14:24.110
more stand -up on social media and on YouTube

00:14:24.110 --> 00:14:29.509
and You just go where that is I'm off to flame.

00:14:30.289 --> 00:14:34.090
That's complete sense awesome now This is not

00:14:34.090 --> 00:14:38.129
only just a comedy show for you and for the crowd

00:14:38.129 --> 00:14:40.690
We have let's talk about the patty foundation

00:14:40.690 --> 00:14:46.149
again. Yeah There's a charitable component to

00:14:46.149 --> 00:14:49.769
this whole thing. Not just me the charity. No,

00:14:49.809 --> 00:14:52.950
not just you. Me too. Not your typical stand

00:14:52.950 --> 00:14:55.450
-up charity. Right. So the proceeds are going

00:14:55.450 --> 00:14:58.389
to the Patty Foundation, a late friend of yours

00:14:58.389 --> 00:15:00.990
we talked about last time. Syracuse Pride is

00:15:00.990 --> 00:15:03.149
involved and ACR Health. You want to talk about

00:15:03.149 --> 00:15:05.830
that a little bit? Yeah, I know Syracuse Pride

00:15:05.830 --> 00:15:10.509
in particular and the guy who runs that, Jimmy,

00:15:10.610 --> 00:15:14.379
is a fantastic Guy he has been taking on pride

00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:19.700
forever and this year in particular it's we know

00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:23.039
the lay of the land right now like I They're

00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.519
having a really hard time with pride and it is

00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:29.559
he told me there are corporations that funded

00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:32.120
last year that aren't funding this year because

00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.000
they're not being encouraged or you could even

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.120
say pressured into helping this community as

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.299
Well as he said that there are some that are

00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:44.029
afraid to help donate to Pride and stuff like

00:15:44.029 --> 00:15:48.029
that. And at the end of the day, it's just ridiculous.

00:15:48.129 --> 00:15:51.529
So we're gonna send some of the money to Syracuse

00:15:51.529 --> 00:15:53.889
Pride. Some of the money's gonna be going to

00:15:53.889 --> 00:15:56.009
the Patty Foundation, which again, takes care

00:15:56.009 --> 00:16:01.679
of LGBTQ youths. And then the ACR Health. Just

00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.399
got on board. We're gonna work with them also

00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:05.799
They actually found out about us through this

00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.559
podcast last time that I was on and they literally

00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.919
have housing for kids that have been kicked out

00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:13.779
of their families and their homes just for being

00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:18.019
gay and We're gonna raise money to make them

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:21.100
even gayer. We're gonna make them Know these

00:16:21.100 --> 00:16:25.840
you know, we can play the game back when they

00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.759
go, you know before Dragon Ball when they go

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:29.559
Super Sam. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna

00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.600
do that, but So no, but we're going to these

00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:35.000
kids. Rainbows are just going to be emanating

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.799
everywhere, everywhere. And you guys should definitely

00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:41.740
have Jimmy on. I'll connect you guys because

00:16:41.740 --> 00:16:45.139
he's great. And yeah, it's just it. We're going

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:47.899
to be able to send money to a place where this

00:16:47.899 --> 00:16:50.659
shouldn't even be a question anymore, that they

00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:54.299
need help and. and to be taken care of and celebrated

00:16:54.299 --> 00:16:57.000
and danced with and all those beautiful things.

00:16:57.379 --> 00:16:59.659
So let them live their lives. Yeah, the rest.

00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:03.039
Yeah. But anyway, I think that's wonderful that

00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:08.140
you're including a charity. And the Patty Foundation

00:17:08.140 --> 00:17:11.299
that let's talk about Patty. He was a good friend

00:17:11.299 --> 00:17:13.299
of yours. Yeah, I want to bring it up again,

00:17:13.299 --> 00:17:15.700
because I just I love this man. And I never met

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:17.819
him. Oh, my best friend in the whole wide world,

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:23.309
Patrick cocktail. He Beautiful guy and very funny.

00:17:23.309 --> 00:17:26.869
He would have loved this huge nerd huge bills

00:17:26.869 --> 00:17:33.049
fan film fanatic and the sweetest nicest guy

00:17:33.049 --> 00:17:35.029
and the meanest queen in the whole wide world

00:17:35.029 --> 00:17:39.869
and He just cared so deeply about what he called

00:17:39.869 --> 00:17:44.890
his community and I think for a lot of people

00:17:44.890 --> 00:17:49.849
in that community the LGBTQ You have your group

00:17:49.849 --> 00:17:53.130
of people who are your people who love superhero

00:17:53.130 --> 00:17:55.230
stuff. You have that stuff, but sometimes also

00:17:55.230 --> 00:17:57.490
always feel like you don't have. And he just

00:17:57.490 --> 00:18:00.890
wanted to take care of these kids who were through

00:18:00.890 --> 00:18:04.210
no fault of their own having terrible circumstances

00:18:04.210 --> 00:18:08.670
put upon them. And so after he passed away, we

00:18:08.670 --> 00:18:10.849
had time to miss him. And then his boyfriend

00:18:10.849 --> 00:18:13.690
and I just, we reached a point where we were

00:18:13.690 --> 00:18:17.420
done. Missing him and we wanted always will miss

00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:19.519
him, but we wanted to have it be a more active

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:21.319
thing And I think that's why a lot of people

00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.599
do charities About people who have passed because

00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:26.519
in this way you could get to talk about them

00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.519
in the present And so it's maybe be the selfish

00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.539
thing for me It might just be the selfish thing

00:18:31.539 --> 00:18:33.920
for me and Jake to want to talk about Pat and

00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.880
the current Yeah, it just it's just this thing

00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.160
that we wanted to do to If he was still here,

00:18:42.299 --> 00:18:44.940
he'd be doing exactly this. So that's just what

00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:48.359
we wanted to do. And yeah, it's been great. And

00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.200
it's a great part that this has already brought

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:54.740
up the ACR health who are have been boots on

00:18:54.740 --> 00:18:58.299
the ground doing this beforehand. I'm a new tourist

00:18:58.299 --> 00:19:01.579
to this community. And so I am so glad that there's

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:02.799
people who are like, yeah, we've been fighting

00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.700
this fight for a while. We'd love to help out

00:19:05.700 --> 00:19:07.500
and stuff like that. So I would definitely say

00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:09.869
I'm sure you guys will put links in. If you can't

00:19:09.869 --> 00:19:13.710
make the show, the Eventbrite has places to donate

00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:16.950
like $5 and your credits go into the special.

00:19:17.230 --> 00:19:19.750
And then I'm sure you guys can link ACR Health,

00:19:20.150 --> 00:19:24.670
Syracuse Pride, all these things. And yeah, it'll

00:19:24.670 --> 00:19:27.309
be it's just places if you can't make it. put

00:19:27.309 --> 00:19:29.309
that money there because we wanna help these

00:19:29.309 --> 00:19:31.789
people out. That's fantastic, I love it. And

00:19:31.789 --> 00:19:34.089
this also allows me to do all the gay jokes that

00:19:34.089 --> 00:19:38.609
I want. You get a free car. You're allowed to

00:19:38.609 --> 00:19:41.309
just gay it up. I can't wait to see the comments

00:19:41.309 --> 00:19:44.069
that are like, that's not what this means. What

00:19:44.069 --> 00:19:47.420
are you doing? So let's talk about, that's the

00:19:47.420 --> 00:19:49.579
charitable part of it, but where can people get,

00:19:49.619 --> 00:19:51.160
I know we're gonna give away some tickets, but

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:52.880
where can people get tickets to your show on

00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.480
April 12th at the McCarthy Mercantile? It's on

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:57.539
Eventbrite, and I would definitely say if you're

00:19:57.539 --> 00:19:59.940
thinking about going, grab tickets and pick a

00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:01.900
show. There's the 7 p .m. and the 9 p .m. show,

00:20:02.059 --> 00:20:04.839
and grab that just so we know how to seat the

00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:07.799
room. It's this beautiful open space, and if

00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.660
we see that... there's 75 people at the first

00:20:10.660 --> 00:20:14.160
show, then we'll seat it a certain way. So definitely

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.400
grab the tickets. It helps us out to organize

00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:19.680
it and how we go from there. But yeah, we have

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:22.119
tickets for you guys to give away. But Eventbrite,

00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:23.960
I'm sure you guys will have a link on there.

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:28.299
Tickets, I think are $8, comes to $10 with Eventbrite's

00:20:28.299 --> 00:20:31.920
cut. So very much for a beer. That's beyond reasonable.

00:20:32.089 --> 00:20:34.410
Yeah. And I think if you've never been to a recording,

00:20:34.450 --> 00:20:36.390
we talked about this last time, it's super fun.

00:20:36.549 --> 00:20:38.569
Anytime you guys watch a special and you're like,

00:20:38.569 --> 00:20:40.549
I think it'd be fun to. What's that like to be

00:20:40.549 --> 00:20:44.049
there? It is super fun. And it's going to be

00:20:44.049 --> 00:20:47.190
just a great show. The audience for a TV show.

00:20:47.509 --> 00:20:50.130
Yeah, it'll be super fun. You're a part of it.

00:20:50.130 --> 00:20:52.509
And I was just talking about this. I think it

00:20:52.509 --> 00:20:55.710
was last week. I was last weekend or the weekend

00:20:55.710 --> 00:20:59.289
before I went and saw Colin Jost at Cornell.

00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:02.200
And he had two other comedians open for him that

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.740
are from SNL. And it was in Barton Hall. And

00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:06.839
if you're not familiar with Cornell University,

00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.299
Barton Hall is literally an airplane hanger that

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:14.839
they turned into a venue. And I don't know how

00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.160
many probably five thousand or more people. It

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.279
was like a graduation. Yeah. And we're talking

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:21.640
about these guys are heavy hitters. They've been

00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:24.339
on SNL. I don't want to say they bombed, but

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:27.880
there was. There was just the whole time I was

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:30.500
cringing because the jokes were funny, but no

00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:33.819
one was laughing and so the airplane hangar had

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:37.980
bombing. Oh, yeah We laughed and my friends were

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:40.859
like hey Mike like I'm the comedy whisperer all

00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:42.680
of a sudden They're like, why do you think it

00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.259
wasn't going over and I'm curious as to your

00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:48.079
opinion or if you can back this up I said I think

00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.170
a lot that has to do with it is that is so hard

00:21:52.170 --> 00:21:55.970
to translate comedy in a large venue. And I feel

00:21:55.970 --> 00:21:57.869
like I've heard big comedians like Kevin Hart

00:21:57.869 --> 00:22:00.930
that are doing arenas, Dane Cook that were, yeah

00:22:00.930 --> 00:22:03.890
man, I actually wish I could go back to clubs.

00:22:05.349 --> 00:22:09.990
And you can't see faces, you can't, it just,

00:22:10.109 --> 00:22:11.549
I don't know how to explain it other than the

00:22:11.549 --> 00:22:14.029
jokes don't hit like they do when you're in a

00:22:14.029 --> 00:22:16.210
smaller venue, do you agree? Demetri Martin had

00:22:16.210 --> 00:22:18.730
a great line in one of his specials where he

00:22:18.730 --> 00:22:21.230
said, the best places for comedy are the worst

00:22:21.230 --> 00:22:26.769
for a fire. And it's 100 % true. It's amazing.

00:22:27.910 --> 00:22:30.549
You want heavy curtains, you want frayed wire,

00:22:30.809 --> 00:22:34.690
you want a dark room with one exit and it's yeah,

00:22:34.769 --> 00:22:36.410
the worst ones for a fire are the best rooms

00:22:36.410 --> 00:22:38.759
for comedy. the rooms that are really good, we

00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.579
call them kill boxes, because it just, everything

00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:46.619
hits right. And it's, I've been seeing all this

00:22:46.619 --> 00:22:49.809
stuff on. the internet too of like healing sounds

00:22:49.809 --> 00:22:52.289
and frequencies and stuff like that. And I think

00:22:52.289 --> 00:22:55.150
it's similar for a comedy room. There is the

00:22:55.150 --> 00:22:58.190
right size. Shakespeare had that famous theater

00:22:58.190 --> 00:23:01.569
that he did in a certain shape so that the sound

00:23:01.569 --> 00:23:04.069
projected. Sure. It was a black box theater or

00:23:04.069 --> 00:23:05.210
something like that? No, I think it was like

00:23:05.210 --> 00:23:07.349
a hectic, a black box theater. I don't know what's

00:23:07.349 --> 00:23:09.849
a black box theater. I like the idea of Shakespeare

00:23:09.849 --> 00:23:14.140
and all the actors are in turtlenecks. I don't

00:23:14.140 --> 00:23:15.940
even know what a black box theater is. It just

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:18.160
sounded right. No, we have this old, and it was

00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.319
a specific design, and so I think rooms have

00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:23.640
that. I think some comics are getting away from

00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:28.400
stadiums for their specials. I think if you can...

00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:31.799
What a problem to have. Exactly. But if you chewer,

00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:33.960
and a lot of people want to see you, stadiums

00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.140
make sense. Yeah. I think it's, and it was a

00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:40.200
college kids, right? It was college kids, but

00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:43.910
here was the real rub. There was also... older

00:23:43.910 --> 00:23:46.769
crowd and townies like myself. So it was like,

00:23:46.869 --> 00:23:48.690
how do you prepare for that? Because those are

00:23:48.690 --> 00:23:51.170
two completely different demographics. I was

00:23:51.170 --> 00:23:53.390
going to say college kids I saw, I think we talked

00:23:53.390 --> 00:23:55.230
about this last time also. That's just going

00:23:55.230 --> 00:23:56.990
to be the name of this episode. I think we talked

00:23:56.990 --> 00:24:02.440
about this last time. Younger kids are getting

00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:05.720
their stand -up through social media and a lot

00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:07.559
of that with the shorter clips a lot of it is

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.460
crowd work based That's right. And so I particularly

00:24:10.460 --> 00:24:14.440
like crowd work I'm good at it and I enjoy doing

00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:17.039
it especially because people like it and I'm

00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:20.019
not burning material And what that means is if

00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:22.940
you hear my joke once you'll listen again You'll

00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:25.200
like it, but it's not like a band where you come

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.400
back a week later. We love that song play it

00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.480
again you want to hear a different bit. And so

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.819
jokes have a different time stamp on them. And

00:24:33.819 --> 00:24:35.759
the crowd work is great because you get to upload

00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:38.400
something, but you're not burning material. And

00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:40.920
if the younger crowd, when I did my show at the

00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:43.420
Utica college, I did mostly crowd work because

00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:46.940
that's what they were, what they're accustomed

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:50.779
to. And there was a time where standup was vaudeville,

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:55.700
then take my wife, please. Then we got into observational

00:24:55.700 --> 00:24:59.220
humor then we have more stories and so right

00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:01.180
now it's just crowd work it's a lot more crowd

00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:02.680
work and stuff like that so if you have a bigger

00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:04.599
space it's a little bit harder to do that if

00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:06.160
you're not doing that and you have a younger

00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.339
audience they're like why are you telling me

00:25:08.339 --> 00:25:10.400
about the breakup you had that's not crowd work

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.460
with me yeah and Just because there's people

00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:17.220
who are amazing improvisers amazing sketch writers.

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:19.119
It does not mean that they'll be good stand -ups

00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:21.960
I'm a good stand -up and I'm an okay improviser

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:24.599
I'm not a great sketch writer like those things

00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:26.440
are just because you can play bass guitar doesn't

00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:29.940
mean you can play piano sure Yeah, I would have

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:35.490
to see the show, but also everybody does bomb

00:25:35.490 --> 00:25:37.329
every once in a while, and that's nice. I feel

00:25:37.329 --> 00:25:38.630
like, I'm glad you said that, because I feel

00:25:38.630 --> 00:25:40.109
like I'm the opposite. Like, I think I'm a -

00:25:40.109 --> 00:25:42.890
You never bomb? No, fuck you. You bomb all the

00:25:42.890 --> 00:25:46.509
time. No, that is not, no. You heard it here,

00:25:46.670 --> 00:25:49.390
Mike never bombs. Ever, ever. When you go to

00:25:49.390 --> 00:25:52.029
his next show, it won't be a bomb. It'll be a

00:25:52.029 --> 00:25:55.029
fucking hoot. It'll be great. No, what I mean

00:25:55.029 --> 00:25:58.710
is, I'm better at improv and writing sketch ideas

00:25:58.710 --> 00:26:01.650
and sketching. I'm good at stand up, but I just

00:26:01.650 --> 00:26:04.750
I can't remember things and so I enjoy the crowd

00:26:04.750 --> 00:26:07.890
work because like you said Or like we were actually

00:26:07.890 --> 00:26:09.430
just talking about you want to talk about feeling

00:26:09.430 --> 00:26:12.029
like you're part of something The media the minute

00:26:12.029 --> 00:26:14.809
a comedian goes into crowd work you whether you

00:26:14.809 --> 00:26:16.750
know it or not You love it because you know that

00:26:16.750 --> 00:26:19.069
it's off the cuff and that's already funnier

00:26:19.069 --> 00:26:22.349
Yeah, and now you feel part of it. So I respect

00:26:22.349 --> 00:26:24.289
anyone that there is yeah There is a level of

00:26:24.289 --> 00:26:27.589
it being extra impressive. Yeah, because it's

00:26:27.589 --> 00:26:31.190
that Remember doing shows in New York City and

00:26:31.190 --> 00:26:34.809
I tried to work with people Other comedians where

00:26:34.809 --> 00:26:36.910
I was like, hey, I've got to show it this time.

00:26:36.970 --> 00:26:39.089
He's I got to show it this time Like what if

00:26:39.089 --> 00:26:41.430
we pay each other I'll go in and we'll work it

00:26:41.430 --> 00:26:43.829
out where I heckle you but you fucking bury me

00:26:43.829 --> 00:26:45.869
and I was like I can start a little side business

00:26:45.869 --> 00:26:49.029
and it never took off but But it was for that

00:26:49.029 --> 00:26:51.150
reason because you want to be the professional

00:26:53.159 --> 00:26:55.859
Professional bad heckler. This is also like 2004.

00:26:56.099 --> 00:26:57.559
And yeah, I just want to see you try to claim

00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:59.539
that on your taxes. Yeah. Yeah. Professional

00:26:59.539 --> 00:27:03.759
heckler. Where do I write off? Sir, please leave.

00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:08.559
Yeah. All right. So Brian Inc. Let's play a game.

00:27:08.660 --> 00:27:11.019
You want to play a game? Yeah. Say it one more

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:13.500
time. His special letters are hard. The McCarthy

00:27:13.500 --> 00:27:16.500
Mercantile in downtown Syracuse, April 12th,

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.779
two shoots, seven and nine p .m. Get your tickets

00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:24.339
at Eventbrite .com. Brian, I love you. So you

00:27:24.339 --> 00:27:25.380
said you wanted to play a game. What do you want

00:27:25.380 --> 00:27:28.119
to do? I super love and I don't know if it's

00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:30.799
a game, but it should be, which is just over

00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:35.039
and underrated. I think that there is a really

00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:38.559
good get to know you. And Matt, we've never met

00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:40.559
briefly, but I want to get to know you better.

00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:45.160
Over and underrated things. And I think that

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.039
it's I want to see. I could definitely kick this

00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.609
off. And this is going to be a Syracuse. specific

00:27:51.609 --> 00:27:54.509
one and I might lose anybody who was thinking

00:27:54.509 --> 00:27:59.890
about getting a ticket. Straight slice cut pizza

00:27:59.890 --> 00:28:04.769
is not only wildly overrated, it is an abomination

00:28:04.769 --> 00:28:08.390
against humanity. I know we do it here and I

00:28:08.390 --> 00:28:11.789
don't, every time it happens I feel personally

00:28:11.789 --> 00:28:14.910
attacked and I know it's only here. You're saying

00:28:14.910 --> 00:28:17.690
as opposed to like the traditional triangle cut.

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:22.220
That's what makes it pizza. I didn't want pizza

00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:26.119
breadsticks. Places do this. Who came up with

00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:29.579
that? I don't. I feel like it's a thing of, hey,

00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:32.460
Rochester's got garbage plates. Buffalo's got

00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:34.500
their wings. What do we have? We have a lot of

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:36.680
things. See, I remember when I was a kid, that

00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:38.740
was not the way to go, but if you wanted, like

00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:40.099
you or you're having a lot of people, you could

00:28:40.099 --> 00:28:42.200
ask for a party cut. That's right. And that was

00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:44.079
the idea for smaller pieces where you got hundreds

00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:46.660
of people, whatever. It's an option. Yeah. And

00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:50.569
it was by far never the default. No, you know,

00:28:50.829 --> 00:28:52.690
I've said this and we probably and now you have

00:28:52.690 --> 00:28:56.910
to select an option if you want it Why for me?

00:28:56.910 --> 00:28:59.309
Listen, I consider myself a pizza connoisseur.

00:28:59.309 --> 00:29:00.710
I almost said penis connoisseur, which would

00:29:00.710 --> 00:29:03.210
have been hilarious But I could be both I can

00:29:03.210 --> 00:29:05.589
do both. I like a little sausage on my pizza

00:29:05.589 --> 00:29:11.250
anyway, I Will cut that part. I Judge a good

00:29:11.250 --> 00:29:13.329
pizza by this. It's got to be triangular. Okay,

00:29:13.450 --> 00:29:15.329
it's got it It's got to have the triangle when

00:29:15.329 --> 00:29:18.849
you fold it the crust Doesn't have to but bonus

00:29:18.849 --> 00:29:21.190
points if it cracks and if you can get grease

00:29:21.190 --> 00:29:23.950
down your arm It is the absolute perfect pizza

00:29:23.950 --> 00:29:27.670
piece of pizza Yeah, I'm not down with that.

00:29:27.670 --> 00:29:31.670
You can't do that with the strip. No, I wonder

00:29:31.670 --> 00:29:35.549
if Original pizza out of Italy might have that

00:29:35.549 --> 00:29:38.009
cut they call it like the grandma slices or coastal

00:29:38.009 --> 00:29:41.470
Sicilian like a toasty like what's the French?

00:29:41.809 --> 00:29:45.859
Yeah Even if they did, it's wrong. Yeah, it's

00:29:45.859 --> 00:29:49.039
they did. They were wrong. Yeah, I know. It's

00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:50.859
yeah. Wrestling was invented in Greece, but we

00:29:50.859 --> 00:29:53.180
perfected it here in America with the WWE. I

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:57.759
mean, like they pizza. I got. Yeah. So that's

00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:01.420
definitely not only a under or overrated. It

00:30:01.420 --> 00:30:04.960
is an abomination. I've heard with you overseas.

00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:09.269
There is a real deal. battle going on where Greece

00:30:09.269 --> 00:30:13.369
claims they invented pizza not Italy and There's

00:30:13.369 --> 00:30:17.509
some proof behind that I like that. That's what

00:30:17.509 --> 00:30:22.109
you classify as the battle You're like, I don't

00:30:22.109 --> 00:30:23.890
know if you guys know there's a fight there's

00:30:23.890 --> 00:30:26.230
a war. There's a hot take ours is better than

00:30:26.230 --> 00:30:29.069
both Don't worry about Gaza. I was like I was

00:30:29.069 --> 00:30:30.650
yeah, I was like we could donate money to Ukraine

00:30:30.650 --> 00:30:33.730
to like You're like actually Greece needs your

00:30:33.730 --> 00:30:36.269
support. They think they invented pizza Ukrainian

00:30:36.269 --> 00:30:41.009
pizza sucks China invented Pasta and noodles.

00:30:41.009 --> 00:30:43.799
I know that's a big Take also and I know you

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:45.779
guys probably have a big actually you want to

00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:48.880
talk about relevant to New York. There is there's

00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.880
been a good There's been a real argument that

00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:55.539
the ice cream sundae was created in Ithaca and

00:30:55.539 --> 00:30:58.660
I forget who they're arguing with Some other

00:30:58.660 --> 00:31:00.920
town in America that claims no we they were the

00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:03.440
first one to throw chocolate on their boring

00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:07.900
-ass vanilla ice cream They were also early for

00:31:07.900 --> 00:31:13.480
integration also that might have been Okay, wait

00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.339
another over under actually you do an over underrated

00:31:16.339 --> 00:31:19.819
me. Yeah, what about the video games? Yeah, we

00:31:19.819 --> 00:31:21.579
could do video games. Do you have a video game?

00:31:21.579 --> 00:31:25.079
That's either overrated or underrated I'm gonna

00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:27.359
see this is gonna we're gonna be fucking hate

00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:34.200
mail now I'm sorry. I don't understand the fortnight

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:38.519
or the minecraft Just you're too old. I think

00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:40.400
that's more of an age thing. It's a kid's thing

00:31:40.349 --> 00:31:42.470
All right. It might be a kid's thing, but wait,

00:31:43.109 --> 00:31:46.809
let's take that out of it. I do think that if

00:31:46.809 --> 00:31:50.529
we're looking at a game critically, Fortnite,

00:31:50.589 --> 00:31:54.690
I think, can be qualified as overrated. I think

00:31:54.690 --> 00:31:57.250
Minecraft is a building simulator, so that's

00:31:57.250 --> 00:32:01.329
just different. But Fortnite was what Pog, what's

00:32:01.329 --> 00:32:04.369
that called? It's a drop in game, and I think

00:32:04.369 --> 00:32:07.849
that's not a super creative mechanic. And at

00:32:07.849 --> 00:32:10.529
the end of the day, Nothing's changing in that

00:32:10.529 --> 00:32:12.569
gameplay. They're just throwing skins on it.

00:32:12.569 --> 00:32:14.289
So I think you can't argue that is overrated

00:32:14.289 --> 00:32:17.730
Yeah, yeah, I'd go with it. I've got a bunch.

00:32:17.730 --> 00:32:20.170
I'm thinking wait. I got a game. That's underrated

00:32:20.170 --> 00:32:24.190
Star Wars outlaws it had a terrible release it

00:32:24.190 --> 00:32:29.460
had a terrible first couple days but I played

00:32:29.460 --> 00:32:31.519
it and my brother put it perfectly because they

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:33.740
dropped the price to $30, $40. He goes, it's

00:32:33.740 --> 00:32:37.339
a great $30 game. And so I played it. I really

00:32:37.339 --> 00:32:41.059
enjoyed it. It is a Red Dead Redemption meets

00:32:41.059 --> 00:32:43.920
Star Wars. I love it. And not to the quality

00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:47.299
of Red Dead, but it's, yeah, it was definitely

00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:50.539
an over, assuming an underrated game. Yeah. I'm

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:53.500
going to go underrated with Star Fox. Do you

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:56.079
remember Star Fox? Yeah. That is a game that

00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.759
was phenomenal. Never talked about enough. The

00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:01.900
characters were great. The action was great.

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:04.019
Big fan of Star Fox. Yeah, Star Fox is great.

00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:06.579
Yeah. I could go on. I have a whole list. We

00:33:06.579 --> 00:33:11.259
just lost our entire female audience. Hi, we're

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:17.619
virgins. No. I could do so many. Ready for under.

00:33:18.109 --> 00:33:19.869
left field wait matt do you have an underrated

00:33:19.869 --> 00:33:22.490
overrated i i don't have a great one yet so go

00:33:22.490 --> 00:33:25.049
for it i have a underrated this is gonna this

00:33:25.049 --> 00:33:27.450
is people are gonna be like oh he has adhd and

00:33:27.450 --> 00:33:31.390
autism i think trains are underrated trains are

00:33:31.390 --> 00:33:33.569
super underrated i go down to new york city all

00:33:33.569 --> 00:33:37.109
the time i take the train i don't have to drive

00:33:37.710 --> 00:33:40.609
I get to sit and sleep and relax and it's great

00:33:40.609 --> 00:33:43.569
and I think trains are awesome and I'll even

00:33:43.569 --> 00:33:47.230
argue trains beat planes sometimes because the

00:33:47.230 --> 00:33:49.849
amount of time you gotta wait in security and

00:33:49.849 --> 00:33:51.450
wait for your flight because you gotta get, you

00:33:51.450 --> 00:33:53.730
could just waltz onto a train, you could moonwalk

00:33:53.730 --> 00:33:56.049
onto it and then just start headed to where you

00:33:56.049 --> 00:33:58.069
gotta go. What's your favorite part of the train?

00:33:58.250 --> 00:34:02.410
My favorite, now we're getting real. Like the

00:34:02.410 --> 00:34:04.970
upholstery. I don't know enough about trains.

00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:08.940
Are you pass this I almost get a train set to

00:34:08.940 --> 00:34:12.840
go around the Christmas tree and I don't but

00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:17.800
I Yeah, I think trains are super underrated and

00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:19.900
they're a great way to travel. So we're not very

00:34:19.900 --> 00:34:21.980
video games now We're just doing things that

00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:25.400
are yeah. Yeah, we can go back to video games.

00:34:25.420 --> 00:34:31.010
No, I just it's a curveball. I'm ready Shit underrated

00:34:31.010 --> 00:34:34.269
overrated. We're on to trains now. What do you

00:34:34.269 --> 00:34:37.690
guys listen Matt? You guys prepared for this

00:34:37.690 --> 00:34:40.269
and I didn't pay attention video games to trains

00:34:40.269 --> 00:34:43.769
real quick trains all the things ladies love

00:34:43.769 --> 00:34:45.630
Matt's going remember that urban legend where

00:34:45.630 --> 00:34:48.309
you're like remember my friend. We heard he took

00:34:48.309 --> 00:34:52.309
he drank a glass of Took a hit of acid or he

00:34:52.309 --> 00:34:54.570
smoked too much weed and now he thinks he's a

00:34:54.570 --> 00:34:56.289
glass of orange juice No, we didn't grow up in

00:34:56.289 --> 00:35:02.050
Ithaca. Oh But anyway That's Matt right now.

00:35:02.050 --> 00:35:04.489
He just got back from Vegas and he's still not

00:35:04.489 --> 00:35:07.809
the same in another time you are still yeah time

00:35:07.809 --> 00:35:11.489
zone so He's I can tell he's trying to do overrated

00:35:11.489 --> 00:35:13.590
underrated, but he's just alright. Here you go.

00:35:13.590 --> 00:35:17.179
I will On that topic, since it's top of mind,

00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:19.500
I will give you one of the most underrated things

00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:22.800
in Las Vegas, if you want to visit that. I'm

00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:25.039
representing with this shirt here. I went to

00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:30.380
this place called the Pinball Hall of Fame. It's

00:35:30.380 --> 00:35:32.900
like an airplane hanger. I'm just writing down

00:35:32.900 --> 00:35:37.219
a charity for autism. Full of video games of

00:35:37.219 --> 00:35:41.599
mostly pinball going back to the 70s. Here's

00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:44.099
what's great about it. Everywhere in Vegas it

00:35:44.099 --> 00:35:46.400
is non -stop harassing you about you got to pay

00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:49.500
a Massive ticket price to walk in the door and

00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:52.320
then once you do that There's ten assholes who

00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:54.880
like mob you and try to sell you everything from

00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:59.559
show tickets to timeshares and it's it's infuriating

00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.650
Pinball Hall of Fame none of that nonsense No

00:36:02.650 --> 00:36:05.309
admission you walk in it is literally like an

00:36:05.309 --> 00:36:08.030
old -school arcade you put your money in the

00:36:08.030 --> 00:36:10.170
change machine and get a handful of quarters

00:36:10.170 --> 00:36:14.190
and you just go to town and I played some pinball

00:36:14.190 --> 00:36:17.349
machines from well before I was born that I never

00:36:17.349 --> 00:36:20.630
have even seen before when they're in operation

00:36:20.630 --> 00:36:24.789
from the 60s and 70s They had you want to talk

00:36:24.789 --> 00:36:27.190
about underrated or overrated video games Mike

00:36:27.190 --> 00:36:30.289
Tyson's punch out when the old -school arcade

00:36:30.289 --> 00:36:34.679
version they had a wide variety of arcade games,

00:36:34.900 --> 00:36:39.219
claw machines. It was the one place that my wife

00:36:39.219 --> 00:36:42.539
and I went and we spent multiple hours and $25.

00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:46.920
The only place you could say that anywhere in

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:48.719
Las Vegas. And it's definitely underrated because

00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:51.159
I've never had anyone come from Vegas and be

00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:55.519
like, Jude, the pinball was awesome. Best thing

00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:57.789
if you... especially if you're prone to losing

00:36:57.789 --> 00:37:02.469
all your money in the slot machines. Please play

00:37:02.469 --> 00:37:03.989
a game you can have some fun with. There's people

00:37:03.989 --> 00:37:06.030
who go to the pinball museum, and they come back,

00:37:06.050 --> 00:37:07.949
and they're like, how was Vegas? I got a rash.

00:37:08.110 --> 00:37:09.789
They're like, yeah, you did, you naughty boy.

00:37:09.909 --> 00:37:11.650
They're like, yeah, one of the machines had a

00:37:11.650 --> 00:37:13.989
little thing on it, so I have this rash now.

00:37:14.250 --> 00:37:19.090
Yeah, my wrist hurts. Oh, whoa. I didn't wear

00:37:19.090 --> 00:37:22.309
my brace, and I was playing too much game. OK,

00:37:22.369 --> 00:37:25.159
so yeah, if you're going to Vegas, pinball. I

00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:28.780
would 100 % go with that. Sign me up. It's incredible.

00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:33.719
Wait, I got one here. Overrated. New Godzilla

00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:38.679
movies. Super underrated. The 2000 Godzilla movie.

00:37:39.980 --> 00:37:43.559
Was it Matthew Broderick? Yeah. Maybe I was at

00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:45.739
the right age for it. I feel like that was a

00:37:45.739 --> 00:37:48.500
great Godzilla movie. And I thought it was super

00:37:48.500 --> 00:37:50.559
interesting. And you can argue with me. Everyone

00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:54.119
does. I agree with you. One thing that pisses

00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:56.900
me off in that world is when I was growing up

00:37:56.900 --> 00:37:59.500
everybody was Batman Batman I'm a Superman guy

00:37:59.500 --> 00:38:02.320
Superman was my first love my first superhero

00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:05.980
love We've other than the Superman one through

00:38:05.980 --> 00:38:09.239
five there in the 80s. Those were great, but

00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:12.539
I'm talking about a new age Superman movie. They've

00:38:12.539 --> 00:38:14.559
all shit the bed. What about the show anybody

00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:17.320
step up and just Create remember the show in

00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:20.960
the 90s with Dean Cain. Oh, no. Yeah, no Not

00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:23.699
a fan. Although I did hear the what was the one

00:38:23.699 --> 00:38:27.659
about Superboy that was like pretty big. The

00:38:27.659 --> 00:38:29.460
new Superman movie James Gunn is going to be

00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:31.260
awesome. Is it? It's going to be awesome. I just

00:38:31.260 --> 00:38:33.860
I'm praying that we finally get a decent Superman

00:38:33.860 --> 00:38:36.820
movie. James Gunn is fantastic at creating those

00:38:36.820 --> 00:38:40.659
types of universes. And I think that we're talking

00:38:40.659 --> 00:38:42.320
about this with a buddy of mine. It's amazing

00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:46.690
that DC makes such bad. superhero movies when

00:38:46.690 --> 00:38:49.989
their animated series and their video games are

00:38:49.989 --> 00:38:55.369
so story rich and so good. And so I think if,

00:38:55.449 --> 00:38:58.150
I mean do you guys have a huge audience that's

00:38:58.150 --> 00:39:02.030
the CEOs of the DC universe? And so they should

00:39:02.030 --> 00:39:04.909
just take that stuff and just put it into film

00:39:04.909 --> 00:39:07.610
format and it would be. Great. Batman animated

00:39:07.610 --> 00:39:10.070
series. There's another underrated. That's one

00:39:10.070 --> 00:39:13.230
of the best superhero shows ever. That was the

00:39:13.230 --> 00:39:15.409
most... I was a little kid and I'd get home from

00:39:15.409 --> 00:39:17.110
school and I'd sit down and watch it. It was

00:39:17.110 --> 00:39:20.909
the most serious cartoon I think I'd ever been

00:39:20.909 --> 00:39:21.710
created. They did a documentary about it and

00:39:21.710 --> 00:39:24.030
it was on purpose. They said that they wanted

00:39:24.030 --> 00:39:26.989
to make a dark and challenging... They wanted

00:39:26.989 --> 00:39:30.289
to talk to kids like adults and not in a... gross

00:39:30.289 --> 00:39:32.730
way but yeah like yeah we're gonna talk to you

00:39:32.730 --> 00:39:34.710
guys and you're gonna empathize with some of

00:39:34.710 --> 00:39:37.989
these villains and you're going to see the challenges

00:39:37.989 --> 00:39:40.329
that Batman is facing with his life and stuff

00:39:40.329 --> 00:39:43.610
like that Superman's going to get his taxes done

00:39:43.610 --> 00:39:48.389
yeah just boring I think that's great it's something

00:39:48.389 --> 00:39:49.909
that's underrated because you're absolutely right

00:39:49.909 --> 00:39:52.849
it was so good mind blow absolutely nothing like

00:39:52.849 --> 00:39:55.199
it I'm not even sure since there's really been

00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:58.559
anything quite like that. And then to contrast

00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:01.320
the original, you think about the original Batman

00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:07.320
with Adam West, that 60s live action thing that

00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:11.579
was so over the top cheesy. There's a place for

00:40:11.579 --> 00:40:15.940
that. No, and it was great. To go from that so

00:40:15.940 --> 00:40:22.949
into basically a serious, I don't know. almost

00:40:22.949 --> 00:40:25.690
manga before that was even really a thing, I

00:40:25.690 --> 00:40:27.150
feel like, to some degree. They printed everything

00:40:27.150 --> 00:40:29.210
on black paper. All the animation was done on

00:40:29.210 --> 00:40:31.309
black paper. The creators specifically wanted

00:40:31.309 --> 00:40:33.190
to make stuff where you empathized with so many

00:40:33.190 --> 00:40:35.449
of the characters. It wasn't zany or silly. And

00:40:35.449 --> 00:40:38.429
what's funny is on the same budget was Animaniacs,

00:40:38.550 --> 00:40:42.130
the complete opposite, which is so funny. And

00:40:42.130 --> 00:40:43.809
they played back to back. That was the thing.

00:40:44.630 --> 00:40:48.130
After that, now it's jumping around the Warner

00:40:48.130 --> 00:40:52.210
lot with the crazy Animaniacs. What a great show.

00:40:52.449 --> 00:40:54.210
They rebooted it and it's awesome. Yeah. Really?

00:40:54.309 --> 00:40:58.769
Yep. What is it on? Hulu. All right. All right.

00:40:58.849 --> 00:41:03.070
Give me a over under. Oh, over under. Okay. Just

00:41:03.070 --> 00:41:05.530
any topic or are we on? Anything. Anything. Okay.

00:41:05.610 --> 00:41:09.989
I wish I had prepared for this. Okay. Over under.

00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:13.760
I'm going to say right now there is a craze going

00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:16.719
on and it is called water bottles And I think

00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:18.980
it is completely overrated. We are talking we

00:41:18.980 --> 00:41:22.199
are getting into stylish water bottles. Oh Wallace

00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:26.119
Stanley's The designs it's too much. All right,

00:41:26.219 --> 00:41:28.219
just throw some water in a goddamn thing sip

00:41:28.219 --> 00:41:31.079
it and call it a day You see that SNL bit the

00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:35.659
big dumb cup? No. It's phenomenal. Sounds exactly

00:41:35.659 --> 00:41:36.260
like what we talked about. Just a bunch of white

00:41:36.260 --> 00:41:41.179
girls with a big, dumb cup. Phenomenal. That's

00:41:41.179 --> 00:41:44.019
what it is. Yeah. Yeah. Giant Stanleys. Yeah.

00:41:44.659 --> 00:41:48.099
Yeah. My wife's on the sideline of my daughter's

00:41:48.099 --> 00:41:51.440
lacrosse game, and she's like, good job, honey.

00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:54.739
You know what I mean? She looks like a complete

00:41:54.739 --> 00:41:57.539
ass hat. These things are so big. That was impressive.

00:41:58.119 --> 00:41:59.519
Thank you. You're so strong. I didn't think you

00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:02.530
were that strong. That's the other thing too

00:42:02.530 --> 00:42:04.230
is it's like the people that are designing these

00:42:04.230 --> 00:42:06.650
it's like they're like All right. I want to design

00:42:06.650 --> 00:42:08.949
a water bottle. That's not gonna fit in any cup

00:42:08.949 --> 00:42:12.650
holders in any car America and I've just I've

00:42:12.650 --> 00:42:14.610
had it This is more me venting than over rate

00:42:14.610 --> 00:42:17.010
can also be used as a weapon It could be this

00:42:17.010 --> 00:42:19.449
one that I have is really cool. Nice. No, so

00:42:19.449 --> 00:42:21.849
it's the bottom of my water bottle It's an coffee

00:42:21.849 --> 00:42:24.090
mug and then you twist it on and it just goes

00:42:24.090 --> 00:42:27.579
in nice water. I like that a lot. But yeah I

00:42:27.579 --> 00:42:29.239
can think of so many better over -unders, and

00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:30.880
I'm blanking today. See, I just don't understand

00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.940
how folks keep track of those, because the reason

00:42:32.940 --> 00:42:36.260
that I use the disposable cups is because I am

00:42:36.260 --> 00:42:38.739
famous for setting my cup down and it disappearing.

00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:40.900
Yeah. And I can't tell you how many hundreds

00:42:40.900 --> 00:42:47.599
of regular, insulated, reusable cups that are

00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:50.139
off in the world somewhere. 100%. I like these

00:42:50.139 --> 00:42:53.940
also because I sip slowly, and so it's nice to

00:42:53.940 --> 00:42:55.480
come back to it in an hour, and it's still warm.

00:42:55.579 --> 00:42:58.760
Yeah, that's nice. the real advantage. That's

00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:01.360
the key. Wait, speaking of which, this segues

00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:05.860
perfectly. Super underrated, really good coffee.

00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:11.360
Super overrated, really good wine. Okay. Yes.

00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:15.429
I think really good coffee is such a... to me

00:43:15.429 --> 00:43:17.070
that's the one where I can tell the difference

00:43:17.070 --> 00:43:19.869
between crap coffee and good coffee and I think

00:43:19.869 --> 00:43:22.230
especially in the morning when you need it really

00:43:22.230 --> 00:43:25.889
good coffee is Worth it. We have a coffee maker

00:43:25.889 --> 00:43:29.130
at our house where it grinds you put the beans

00:43:29.130 --> 00:43:31.349
in and then it automatically in the morning will

00:43:31.349 --> 00:43:34.809
grind and pour and I wake up with fresh coffee

00:43:34.809 --> 00:43:37.329
and That's my favorite thing in the world and

00:43:37.329 --> 00:43:41.630
really good wine Can't tell the difference. I'll

00:43:41.630 --> 00:43:44.409
agree damn Jimmy. I'll agree if we did it blind

00:43:44.409 --> 00:43:47.849
taste good ass coffee guarantee there one of

00:43:47.849 --> 00:43:51.369
us if not all of us could sip up a $200 bottle

00:43:51.369 --> 00:43:54.110
of wine and an $8 bottle of wine and some of

00:43:54.110 --> 00:43:56.570
us would go I like the $8 wine better, but if

00:43:56.570 --> 00:44:01.280
I'm a bad coffee You're like this is shit For

00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:03.940
some reason, it's easy to mask it with. And not

00:44:03.940 --> 00:44:06.119
that there isn't a place for really good wine

00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:10.000
that's got a great story, that has a wonderful

00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:11.880
vineyard, but at the end of the day, I think

00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:14.699
there's too much emphasis on good wine and not

00:44:14.699 --> 00:44:18.079
enough emphasis on really good coffee. Underrated

00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:20.960
wine hangovers. Those are bitches. Those are

00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:23.840
awful. Because it's sugar. It's all of it. I've

00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:25.679
got an overrated. I've got an overrated. Oh.

00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:28.139
I know. We're going on long, but I can't help

00:44:28.139 --> 00:44:31.570
it because I finally figured out one. Okay. Overrated

00:44:31.570 --> 00:44:35.750
for me. Every summer, my family and my in -laws,

00:44:35.789 --> 00:44:39.630
we go to a different beach. Beach vacations.

00:44:39.969 --> 00:44:43.289
I'm not shitting on them. I just think it's overrated.

00:44:43.730 --> 00:44:46.889
Because for the next year and a half, I'm finding

00:44:46.889 --> 00:44:51.010
sand in my ass crack, my shoes, my phone case.

00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:53.900
Don't get me wrong. When I'm there, I'm happy.

00:44:54.019 --> 00:44:56.460
It's fine. You heard it here first. Mike doesn't

00:44:56.460 --> 00:44:59.699
shower. I don't. And why do that when you can

00:44:59.699 --> 00:45:02.019
shower in the ocean? No, I just think it's fine.

00:45:02.179 --> 00:45:06.219
But by day two, I'm good. We don't need to go

00:45:06.219 --> 00:45:09.059
down every day. So I'm happy with a lake. I'm

00:45:09.059 --> 00:45:10.579
happy with an ocean. I thought I was the only

00:45:10.579 --> 00:45:12.139
one that felt that way. I just think beach vacations

00:45:12.139 --> 00:45:13.519
are just a little bit overrated. And you're going

00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:17.480
to think that I'm making this up? My last underrated?

00:45:18.549 --> 00:45:22.030
Nothing do nothing days and vacations versus

00:45:22.030 --> 00:45:27.590
packed vacations of every day gotta do something

00:45:27.590 --> 00:45:31.349
I Would date you if I was gay because that we

00:45:31.349 --> 00:45:33.429
would hit it off on vacation. There's nothing

00:45:33.429 --> 00:45:35.469
worse than going on vacation Okay, so we're gonna

00:45:35.469 --> 00:45:37.530
go we're gonna go do the sailboat tour at eight

00:45:37.530 --> 00:45:39.090
and then we're gonna head over here We're gonna

00:45:39.090 --> 00:45:42.190
know when people say what I would kill for a

00:45:42.190 --> 00:45:44.090
day off. I'm like fuck that I would kill for

00:45:44.090 --> 00:45:46.820
a day off With nothing nothing planned. That's

00:45:46.820 --> 00:45:48.860
where i'm at right now. What would you do with

00:45:48.860 --> 00:45:51.679
a million? I'll tell you what I do, man Nothing

00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:54.940
at all. Nothing at all You're completely correct

00:45:54.940 --> 00:45:58.059
because I just did that like I went away for

00:45:58.059 --> 00:45:59.820
the weekend and i'm glad I did it was nice to

00:45:59.820 --> 00:46:02.699
get away from things But I I was telling you

00:46:02.699 --> 00:46:06.079
like I can't say that I necessarily relaxed Because

00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:08.320
we had lots of things and I wanted to it was

00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:09.860
like I said, it was great. We had a good time,

00:46:09.860 --> 00:46:15.119
but um Still beat And it's fun to go do like,

00:46:15.420 --> 00:46:17.739
we go to India once a year and visit my wife's

00:46:17.739 --> 00:46:21.760
family and that's super fun. There is days where

00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:24.019
we go do a lot and then there's days where we

00:46:24.019 --> 00:46:27.300
just sit around and do nothing and it's great.

00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:29.340
It's also, it was hilarious, we went to a resort

00:46:29.340 --> 00:46:32.119
for the first time and watching my mother -in

00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:34.719
-law and my aunt -in -law who are just women

00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:37.659
who just always have to be doing something be

00:46:37.659 --> 00:46:39.760
so uncomfortable at a resort. They were like,

00:46:39.820 --> 00:46:41.159
what do we do? We're like, you just sit here.

00:46:41.719 --> 00:46:43.929
And they're like. We don't cook anything or doing

00:46:43.929 --> 00:46:45.849
it. I'm like, no, you just chill. And that's

00:46:45.849 --> 00:46:47.929
the winning recipe, because then the days where

00:46:47.929 --> 00:46:49.969
it's jam packed, that's fine, because there's

00:46:49.969 --> 00:46:53.710
also sprinkled in days with nothing. If you had

00:46:53.710 --> 00:46:56.530
a whole vacation of days with nothing, that would

00:46:56.530 --> 00:46:58.289
get redundant. You had a whole vacation with

00:46:58.289 --> 00:47:00.650
days that are busy. Like you said, you come back

00:47:00.650 --> 00:47:03.309
feeling like, I need a vacation from the vacation.

00:47:04.230 --> 00:47:07.989
Yeah. Yeah. No plans. Yeah, no plans. No plans.

00:47:08.150 --> 00:47:10.610
Stan, call me. I haven't had a good overrated

00:47:10.610 --> 00:47:16.110
yet, but. Plan Stan Stan call me believe it or

00:47:16.110 --> 00:47:21.590
not asshole I Want to give one good overrated,

00:47:21.610 --> 00:47:23.690
but I'm just fucking I'm shit today. I thought

00:47:23.690 --> 00:47:25.449
you did well Yeah, we did a lot of under and

00:47:25.449 --> 00:47:28.630
actually I am overrated. I'm I sound like a curmudgeon

00:47:28.630 --> 00:47:31.690
I say I like I like underrated conversations

00:47:31.690 --> 00:47:36.469
to think it's hitting on You guys are good news

00:47:36.469 --> 00:47:42.179
under is good news overrated is so bad Underrated

00:47:42.179 --> 00:47:45.840
I just think of one and then we can move underrated

00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:49.400
underrated There's so many ways I can go on this.

00:47:49.420 --> 00:47:51.719
I'll give you a 90s movie. That's underrated.

00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:55.579

00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:58.820
No, okay. It was phenomenal. I'll give you an

00:47:58.820 --> 00:48:02.420
underrated movie little monsters with Fred Savage

00:48:02.420 --> 00:48:07.179
fantastic or how about That thing you do. I love

00:48:07.179 --> 00:48:10.070
that thing you do That's a green tomatoes. That's

00:48:10.070 --> 00:48:11.469
one of my favorite movies of all time. I don't

00:48:11.469 --> 00:48:13.409
know if I'd call it underrated That's supposed

00:48:13.409 --> 00:48:17.550
to be like a classic No, it's underrated the

00:48:17.550 --> 00:48:23.190
godfather Yeah, that's true just didn't get enough

00:48:23.190 --> 00:48:25.989
love Titanic. I don't know. I knew the ending

00:48:25.989 --> 00:48:34.230
Titanic sucks. Fuck you serious He could have

00:48:34.230 --> 00:48:37.929
fit on that fucking plank he could have fit You

00:48:37.929 --> 00:48:42.889
saw Mythbusters did it. Could've fit. It was

00:48:42.889 --> 00:48:48.829
sinking. Because it wasn't a... It was like the

00:48:48.829 --> 00:48:52.070
specific type of door. It wasn't like a big door.

00:48:52.190 --> 00:48:54.250
It was more of a door frame with a little bit

00:48:54.250 --> 00:48:57.030
of door. And there was just no way to get two

00:48:57.030 --> 00:48:59.150
people on it. It wasn't the width. It was the

00:48:59.150 --> 00:49:01.170
buoyancy of it. They could've just given them

00:49:01.170 --> 00:49:04.429
a couch cushion or some shit. Come on. Look.

00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:08.059
Understand the dramatics of a movie going back

00:49:08.059 --> 00:49:10.239
and arm -charing like these movies like there's

00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:12.099
one for home alone now where they're like I forget

00:49:12.099 --> 00:49:14.239
what it was but they're basically like Kevin

00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:16.519
could have just called the police and then there

00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:20.119
would have been no movie and Cool. Yeah, that's

00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:23.000
that's overrated. I don't like this new trend

00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:27.280
of the movie could have been done if or there's

00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:30.380
this thing of I've seen ones, too, where they're

00:49:30.380 --> 00:49:32.780
like, there's this theory that the show's actually

00:49:32.780 --> 00:49:35.699
the dream of the, you're like, could you find

00:49:35.699 --> 00:49:39.960
a more boring way to take a story? And it's,

00:49:40.219 --> 00:49:43.519
I like some fan fiction and things that are,

00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:45.900
stuff like that, but there's these ones where

00:49:45.900 --> 00:49:48.860
it's actually, it's this. I was gonna say, once

00:49:48.860 --> 00:49:51.119
in a while, there's a good one. Rarely, but once

00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:53.300
in a while. Oh, it's an interesting way of looking

00:49:53.300 --> 00:49:55.440
at something that you've always known, but people,

00:49:55.639 --> 00:49:59.230
yeah, I think. Like the one about Karl Winslow

00:49:59.230 --> 00:50:04.269
that takes it through he's a cop who shot somebody

00:50:04.269 --> 00:50:06.989
and die hard and it takes it through the whole

00:50:06.989 --> 00:50:09.090
story and About how the character goes through

00:50:09.090 --> 00:50:12.190
different. Oh from all the movies. Yeah everything

00:50:12.190 --> 00:50:16.190
Yeah, and a lot of times are really dumb but

00:50:16.190 --> 00:50:18.369
the one with him that takes him through from

00:50:18.369 --> 00:50:20.829
die -hard to family matters Yeah, yeah, it's

00:50:20.829 --> 00:50:23.289
actually pretty damn good Steve Buscemi like

00:50:23.289 --> 00:50:27.530
through Billy Madison and then That's a new thing

00:50:27.530 --> 00:50:30.230
that's going on. I like it, but it's fun. It's

00:50:30.230 --> 00:50:32.809
a stretch, but it's forget. All right. Here's

00:50:32.809 --> 00:50:35.130
we get we're running out of time I'll give you

00:50:35.130 --> 00:50:39.849
the last one As for something for underrated

00:50:39.849 --> 00:50:45.510
okay Steve Buscemi in Sopranos Okay, I think

00:50:45.510 --> 00:50:47.289
he's one of the ones that half the time when

00:50:47.289 --> 00:50:48.849
you think about the cast and all that people

00:50:48.849 --> 00:50:51.250
even sometimes forget that he was because obviously

00:50:51.250 --> 00:50:54.449
he wasn't there the whole time yeah, but He was

00:50:54.449 --> 00:50:56.809
epic. And the fact that he goes from all these

00:50:56.809 --> 00:51:01.269
other crazy roles and he fit right in with these

00:51:01.269 --> 00:51:03.849
straight out of Jersey Italian guys with no pro,

00:51:04.070 --> 00:51:06.030
I think was incredible. No, he was great. He

00:51:06.030 --> 00:51:07.469
did a great job. One of the greatest shows. I

00:51:07.469 --> 00:51:09.389
bet you that's what got him Boardwalk Empire,

00:51:09.489 --> 00:51:12.190
which is another great underage. I think that's

00:51:12.190 --> 00:51:14.690
really good. Boardwalk Empire 100 percent. He

00:51:14.690 --> 00:51:17.389
showed his versatility in The Sopranos. Yeah.

00:51:17.409 --> 00:51:19.090
What an amazing fucking show. By the way, did

00:51:19.090 --> 00:51:21.449
you know Steve Buscemi was a fireman? Yeah, he

00:51:21.449 --> 00:51:24.940
was an actor, which I think is he. He, I think

00:51:24.940 --> 00:51:26.659
was in New York City helping on 9 -11. Yeah,

00:51:26.679 --> 00:51:29.480
he was, yeah. He was. Wait, to go back to Titanic

00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:31.440
2, I also like, and we're doing fan theories,

00:51:31.820 --> 00:51:35.539
I like the idea of Jack does survive on the door,

00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:40.820
and they make it to America, and they realize

00:51:40.820 --> 00:51:43.159
that they are not compatible, and they're at

00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:46.360
a terrible marriage. Like, I love that idea of

00:51:46.360 --> 00:51:48.699
they are just gonna get married because they

00:51:48.699 --> 00:51:51.599
went through that traumatic experience. And then

00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:53.699
they're together and then by the end he's just

00:51:53.699 --> 00:51:58.219
I wish I died on that door Because this is a

00:51:58.219 --> 00:52:00.380
tip they would have built the whole marriage

00:52:00.380 --> 00:52:03.019
around that Hilarious, so you'd be much shorter

00:52:03.019 --> 00:52:04.900
movie, but I was gonna say they get to the shore

00:52:04.900 --> 00:52:09.420
and there's her boyfriend. Oh, that's funny I

00:52:09.420 --> 00:52:14.280
saved you for all this, you know, oh bye man.

00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:20.150
I Remember there was a A drinking game you could

00:52:20.150 --> 00:52:21.909
play with Titanic. They should make a sequel

00:52:21.909 --> 00:52:25.849
where the boat rises. They did make a sequel.

00:52:27.429 --> 00:52:30.369
The submarine went down to go find it. It was

00:52:30.369 --> 00:52:33.230
a bunch of bored billionaires. And they imploded.

00:52:33.610 --> 00:52:36.090
Yeah, it was a short film. It was a very short

00:52:36.090 --> 00:52:38.809
film. It was at Cannes, I believe. Oh, and if

00:52:38.809 --> 00:52:40.690
you're mad, I'm sorry that those billionaires

00:52:40.690 --> 00:52:43.769
died after every expert told them to not do it.

00:52:43.829 --> 00:52:46.530
Who would have thought that the N64 controller

00:52:46.530 --> 00:52:50.980

00:53:18.449 --> 00:53:19.969
Well because the controller is a little wonky

00:53:19.969 --> 00:53:23.409
Ask the guys in the sub you just don't know where

00:53:23.409 --> 00:53:26.610
to hold it Yeah, the N64 controller was pretty

00:53:26.610 --> 00:53:29.050
fucking revolutionary at the time. It was great

00:53:29.050 --> 00:53:33.949
