It's a mighty fine Monday here in New York City, and sitting across the table from me from the on the Gate podcast is our good friend Geo Perez.
Geo Perez
What's going on, Zach?
Zach Amico
How you doing, pal?
Geo Perez
Doing good, man. I've been following the Diddy trial, so I've been having the best time of my life.
Zach Amico
Nice. We'll get into it. There's some fun names on called on that. You think? Carl Winslow.
Geo Perez
Yeah, that. That one's old. This the new one is Nipsey Hussle, the rapper. That got killed. His girlfriend, Lauren London, who was like in that movie Atlanta. She was like an actress. So supposedly, like, Diddy was fucking her while Nipsey was alive. And after Nipsey was alive, I heard.
Zach Amico
About a guy called the Punisher that was apparently there too.
Geo Perez
Oh, yeah, I didn't hear too much about that.
Zach Amico
I just heard people laughing about. We'll get into it. All right. And also with us from the Everybody Is Awful podcast. I hate to say a word like legend, but you've been somebody who's been so influential to me as a Jersey guy and just one of the fucking coolest dudes. Jim Florentine.
Jim Florentine
I appreciate that, man.
Zach Amico
Thank you so much for being here, man. I really appreciate it. Thanks for having me fucking. You're the man. Thank you. But yeah, that did the people, because Mike Myers, we looked at, they called, they might subpoena Mike Myers to this Diddy trial. And they said, I guess because there's a P. Diddy joke in Austin Powers Gold member, and they want to know how much he knew that he alluded to it.
Geo Perez
What was the Diddy. What was the joke?
Zach Amico
He's got a Diddy tattoo on his ass in prison.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. I mean, those rumors been going around for years with Diddy.
Zach Amico
Yeah. I mean, I think it's the same as Cosby, where like Cosby, everybody knew for Jeffrey, all.
Jim Florentine
They knew that.
Zach Amico
Everybody knew for 20 years that Cosby. Yeah, they did jokes about it on 30 Rock.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, right.
Zach Amico
Tracy picked up the phone one time and they were pretended to be Bill. It was Godfrey pretending to be Bill Cosby. And he goes, I ain't gonna forget what you did to my aunt. We got a bunch of silly to talk about today. This one is a big deal for me because I'm a huge movie nerd and I am about to tell you guys story you couldn't give a shit about. The Day the clown cried. You ever heard of it?
Jim Florentine
No.
Zach Amico
It is Jerry Lewis's lost movie.
Jim Florentine
Oh, I've heard about this. That he didn't want release because it was so bad.
Zach Amico
So it is. And you know, I've talked to people that have seen assemblies of it where they took some footage and then storyboards and kind of like made a schematic of what the movie was because he shelved it. And for the people don't know, it's a story of a clown as an unsuccessful clown who then gets hired to entertain children in the concentration camps and walk them into the gas chambers. And it's a comedy and it's like, hilarious. Well, here's the thing. They said if it had been 20 years after it come out, it would be considered a classic dark comedy. But they made it way too close to when the actual Holocaust happened. Like, you got to give it time to. It's like. It'd be like drone. It's. It's like. I think if we saw a 911 movie, we'd be like, come on.
Jim Florentine
Right.
Zach Amico
It's just like that. Just. We know we saw that. We don't need a movie about the thing we watched.
Geo Perez
So when did this movie.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, when did they film?
Zach Amico
I want to say this is like 6,070s. And could you get me a 20?
Geo Perez
30 years after.
Gio Perez
Yeah, I mean, 1972.
Zach Amico
1972. So it's long enough that, you know, most of the people that survive might still be able to be around to see it.
Jim Florentine
Oh.
Geo Perez
I mean, but now, like, a tragedy happened, and the victims will still be in the hospital watching a movie about what just happened.
Zach Amico
Yeah, they have a movie coming out about the submarine.
Geo Perez
Yeah, it's like, within.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. Well, that was only like, four people.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
Or six, but yeah.
Zach Amico
So this is apparently a really, really, really dark mood. Like, it's like Taxi Driver level kind of weird and dark. And when he saw. He's like, absolutely not.
Geo Perez
So it's like Schindler's List, but fun with a clown.
Zach Amico
Yes.
Geo Perez
And instead of trying to help people, he's going the opposite way.
Zach Amico
Yeah. He fully. He's like, this is the best job I've ever had. Because he's always been unsex. He's a kind of an asshole.
Geo Perez
So he's making, like, balloon animals for kids and.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Geo Perez
Here, take this in with you.
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jim Florentine
So probably gonna melt.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Geo Perez
Actually survive.
Zach Amico
Probably pop first.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, probably.
Zach Amico
You're checking balloon animals for gold teeth.
Geo Perez
He's trying to use the air to survive.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Can you make me a gas mask, mister?
Jim Florentine
That's probably not like, you know, I don't even think a kid wants to see a clown right before they're gonna die.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
They're crying. Their parents have probably just went in there and.
Geo Perez
Yeah, because.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, maybe that's the other way.
Zach Amico
You have them at the end of the line, chase them in. You have a happy clown in the front and a scary clown in the back.
Jim Florentine
Maybe that's how they lured them in.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
With the clown. Notice the clown show starting in 15 minutes. Come on in.
Zach Amico
What else. What else are you doing right now?
Geo Perez
Why didn't.
Zach Amico
What are you waiting on, Lun? So he says Shelve it. Don't want it to ever come out. But he had made a deal where, so many years after his death, the Library of Congress was allowed to screen it. Only there. Only there. And it was like a very exclusive. Like, only film historians would be allowed to go. However, we have a gentleman and. Shannon. What country is he in?
Gio Perez
He's sweet. He's Swedish.
Zach Amico
Swedish. He worked for the film company and he found out they had of the. And this is 80s, I believe, a VHS of an almost complete cut of it. And him and his friends stole it and made a copy. And he's been sitting on it waiting for the anniversary to come up where it's now legal to screen. And he's like, I have almost all of it. His boss, who he stole it from, sends him. Hey, there was another six minutes that you missed. And sends it to him illegally. He's. Now you have the whole movie. So now this whole movie is ready, and he's apparently shopping it around.
Jim Florentine
So when is it allowed to come out?
Zach Amico
I think within, like, this year.
Jim Florentine
Oh, okay.
Zach Amico
Shannon, what did I miss?
Gio Perez
No, that's just about everything I was trying to see. I found, like, a reconstructed version of it. And then I have just, like, this tiny little clip. I don't know if you want to see a little bit.
Zach Amico
Of course.
Jim Florentine
And he's dead now, so.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
He ain't gonna. His family's not gonna fight it.
Zach Amico
Awkward, right? He's got barbed wire in his nose.
Geo Perez
Wait, so he doesn't even have makeup?
Zach Amico
He eventually does.
Geo Perez
Supposed to be it's the ashes and blood.
Zach Amico
What is that supposed to be? Well, you see, sir, one of the prisoners used to be a circus clown. Sometimes he gives a sort of show. All right, that tonally.
Geo Perez
That was eerie, man.
Zach Amico
That was a Eerie as fuck. It's one of those things where, like. And this is the 70s, so all you knew about people was their Persona from the movies.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
There were people like, new Jerry Lewis movie. Fucking sign me up. I am ready to laugh.
Jim Florentine
Right. That was his prime.
Zach Amico
That would have fucking. That would have crushed him.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
I mean, he would have been. And embarrass. But then the funny thing is, they basically made this movie. Life is Beautiful by Roberto Benini.
Geo Perez
Yeah. Villa Bella.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Is essentially this movie.
Jim Florentine
And that guy, I think, might have won an Oscar.
Zach Amico
Won an Oscar.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. Yeah.
Zach Amico
People have said, had they waited 10 to 15 years to make this tonally, because it's shot like a comedy, how.
Jim Florentine
Did Jerry Lewis have the power to stop this from being paid for it? Okay. He did it on his own then.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
That's the only way. Because the movie company is not going to listen to him. He doesn't like the.
Zach Amico
No, they've done it to a ton of people. They take the movie away from you.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Tons of directors have lost their own movie in the edit.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
The only. The most fucked. This is so metal. You've heard of Alejandro Jodorowsky. He did El Topo Santa Sangre. They're like weird Mexican art films.
Jim Florentine
Okay.
Zach Amico
Have you ever seen the Marilyn Manson video for man that you fear? Yeah, that's the movie El Topo.
Jim Florentine
Okay.
Zach Amico
And he has a movie and he's fucking bonkers. Like, he's got a movie where there's a parade of skin lambs crucified. And that's just a scene in the movie. They don't talk about it. This is. That's just what it cuts to. He had a movie and the distributor was like, hey, this is too weird. We can't put this out. We got to re edit this. He took all the film in front of them, had a meeting, burnt it and said, if you don't release my movie, there is no movie.
Jim Florentine
Wow.
Zach Amico
Believe it or not, hard to work with.
Geo Perez
Jesus Christ.
Zach Amico
He was supposed to make Dune before the original lynch made it. Yeah.
Jim Florentine
Wow.
Zach Amico
Because there was a version of Dune he was working on. Because my film professor in college was a PA on it and he said it was. It was impossible. It was an impossible. It was never gonna happen. But, yeah, I'm excited. I. This is a movie because people ask if I want to do it on my movie show, but I don't think it'd be fun. I think I would have to do it more for like a fax version than like. I don't know if I can make fun of it. I think it might be too much of a bummer.
Geo Perez
Wait, those guest chambers didn't look like.
Zach Amico
Wait, why?
Geo Perez
They know.
Zach Amico
I mean, sure, you found some humor in it pretty quick.
Geo Perez
You got to find like two Holocaust deniers and watch it with them.
Zach Amico
But. Yeah, I mean, Jerry Lewis is supposedly the worst.
Jim Florentine
Oh, yeah. Off. You know, off screen or whatever like that. He was a monster to everybody.
Zach Amico
Real nasty.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Geo Perez
Is that one of the guy. He was part of the Rat Pack.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Dean Martin. Jerry Lewis. Yeah.
Jim Florentine
He left his kids, all of his kids out of his will. He gave money. I think he gave all the money to like. I forget what it was. Something really stupid just to fuck his kids when he died.
Zach Amico
Yeah. He seemed like a real man, like.
Jim Florentine
To A cat or something like that. Just to screw him even.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Can you look up what Jerry Lewis left his money to? He seems like a real. The meanest shit I've heard about him. Have you heard of Sammy Petrillo?
Jim Florentine
I don't know.
Zach Amico
So there was a professional Jerry Lewis impersonator. It was a kid named Sammy Petrillo and that's what he did. He would go do vaudeville and he had a Dean Martin with him and they would do their act and somebody brings him on stage at a Jerry Lewis show. And this is like, you know, 40s, 50s, I believe. And he does. It kills. And Jerry Lewis is like, dude, you're great at that. Never fucking do it again. What? He's like, I will blacklist you from every theater in this country if you go up there and do me.
Jim Florentine
Wow.
Zach Amico
So he kept doing it to the point where there's movies with fake Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. When they couldn't get them, they would just hire. I think it's Sammy and something. Their famous movie is Bela Lugosi meets a Brooklyn Gorilla. It's supposed to be Jerry and Dean meet Bela Lugosi.
Jim Florentine
Wow.
Geo Perez
It's great. It's almost like Bill Maher and Kyle Dunnigan.
Zach Amico
Yes.
Jim Florentine
And Howard Stern back in the day. Used to always go after Jerry Lewis. Spent hours on him. Was great.
Zach Amico
Oh yeah, because he was so mean to people.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. Because he do the telethon every Labor Day weekend. And he was always mean to all the actors who be go for like, you know, three straight days and he'd be all mean to these acts if they weren't good. You could see it on his face, you know, donating their time. He's still being a prick.
Geo Perez
Was he doing freak offs too? Like, did he.
Jim Florentine
I don't know about that.
Zach Amico
No, I think he just got off on.
Geo Perez
I think it's very like a 13 year old, 15 year old girl. Wasn't he married?
Zach Amico
You think of Jerry Lee Lewis, the guy who set up Great Balls of Fire. All right, but you know what? That's a good poll.
Geo Perez
I. I'm dyslexic with names.
Zach Amico
No, that's, that's pretty good. That's a pretty easy one.
Geo Perez
Was it a 13 year old?
Zach Amico
Yeah. He married a pretty cousin, right?
Jim Florentine
Yeah, something. Yeah.
Geo Perez
Oh, wow.
Zach Amico
They gotta, you know, that happens every now and then.
Jim Florentine
Keep it in the family.
Geo Perez
That is true.
Zach Amico
Nothing wrong with it.
Geo Perez

Like, have you ever seen Ed Wood Geo.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Battle of Ghost. He was a heroin, a morphine act, basically by the end of his life. And, like, just real strung at, like. Like what's like mental asylum strung out.
Geo Perez
I have been there before, and, yeah.
Zach Amico
He had to go away for a while. So those movies he's making towards the end, they're tough, you hear? It is.
Geo Perez
Oh, and that's 1940 heroin. That's like.
Zach Amico
That's him. That's Sammy Petrillo doing Jerry Lewis.
Jim Florentine
Even looks like him.
Zach Amico
When are you talking native language? And then they just found a drunk guinea to put next to him. Sammy and Duke.
Geo Perez
How old is he?
Jim Florentine
Looks young.
Zach Amico
Duke Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo turn an island paradise into the zaniest mad house in the seven seas. Charlita puts a gleam. All right, I'm not gonna make you guys a trailer. Yeah, yeah. That's what trailers used to be. Like, just the whole movie.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
While a man spoke over it.
Geo Perez
I mean, some of the trailers are like that. Now you watch the trailer and be like, all right, I already know what's gonna happen. What's the point of watching this?
Zach Amico
Yeah. But then when you see A comedy now. And none of the jokes were in the trailer. And you're like, oh, thank God they didn't blow the whole fucking. Like. That's what I loved about Hereditary.
Geo Perez
What's that?
Zach Amico
The horror movie with the little girl that clicked. The crazy mom. It was Ari Oster movie. And my former co host watched the first 20 minutes and turned it off. And he goes, that was all the shit from the trailer. And I'm like, yeah. I was like, what do you think happens for the next hour? And he's like, oh, shit, should I keep watching? I'm like, yeah, everything in the trailer in the first 20 minutes. I bet there's a pretty big fucking twist. Have you seen Hereditary?
Jim Florentine
No, but my friend just went and saw a Mission Impossible yesterday because, yeah, I'm going to see it. I go, look, I don't want to blow it for you. I didn't see it, but I have a feeling he's going to live at the end.
Zach Amico
Yeah, I bet he makes it.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, I have a feeling, like, he says he wants to end it just and then die. That kills off the whole series. He said this is the last one. He should die at the end.
Zach Amico
I've heard people say that he wants to die in a stunt because basically he writes out those stunts, right?
Jim Florentine
Supposedly he was on a plane in this one. Yeah, it was crazy.
Geo Perez
Yeah, it was like those Red Baron planes.
Zach Amico
I've heard people say that. Suppose that he. He. He might have a fantasy that be killed doing one of them. And then that's like his last movie.
Jim Florentine
That'd be a good way to go.
Zach Amico
Out because he's fucking. You want to talk about a fucking crazy per.
Jim Florentine
So I always say he keeps the shit quiet, though.
Zach Amico
Yeah, he's very. Well, I think there's a lot of NDAs.
Jim Florentine
Oh, absolutely.
Zach Amico
But like, his life is so weird. So, like, Dana Gould told the story once that he was sitting in his office on one of the lots, right? And. And next door, Tom Cruise had an audition and he pulls in on a motorcycle, parks facing the building, two Hummers behind a park on either side. Security walks him in and then just the guy sits on the bike, pulls it out and parks it with the ass towards the building so that when he gets out, he can jump on it and take off and look cool like shit like that. Like. Yeah, did you see the thing with. He met with. They did a screening of Mission Impossible and he met with the AMC employees and he's like, now I need you to have a lot of popcorn. I myself have Two large bags of popcorn per film. And he eats like. Not a bird, but it's. Nick Kroll did this once. He called it the 70s movie eater, where you're like make these big exaggerated motions. So basically like, I'm not. He's eating popcorn like. Like this, like.
Jim Florentine
Oh, he's doing one of them. Right.
Zach Amico
It's fucking. It's not the way a human eats. And it just makes me like he hasn't been connected to the world in. Ever.
Jim Florentine
And he probably doesn't even eat popcorn like that because. Movie theater.
Zach Amico
So I'm gonna act like a human.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, yeah.
Geo Perez
He knows people are watching him. He knows that people are looking over. So he's just like, I'm on the spot right now. Try to act like I'm not like an alien or some, you know.
Zach Amico
Yeah. When the whole thing is aliens.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Shan, do you have him eating. Could you Google Tom Cruise of the pot? It's so. It is. Exactly. It's like an alien put on a human suit and went, pop. Popped corn. Smithers. You know, he might have heard.
Jim Florentine
He was going to the theaters and watching it.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
And he was talking to people afterwards.
Zach Amico
Super. People up. Yeah.
Geo Perez
As soon as he left, he ripped his mask off and it was this alien under.
Zach Amico
Stuff.
Jim Florentine
Will appreciate that as well. Now we are celebrating Tom Cruise at.
Zach Amico
The BFI for the entire films across.
Jim Florentine
The BFI South Bank.
Zach Amico
And the bfi, he's being presented an award. He's just in a fantastic.
Jim Florentine
Okay.
Zach Amico
Event at the BFI South Bank. I'm sure some of you are in.
Jim Florentine
There, but sorry if you missed it. It will be going on our BFI.
Zach Amico
YouTube channel at some point.
Jim Florentine
And tomorrow night we are awarding Tom Cruise.
Zach Amico
He's eating like he's being watched.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. He doesn't eat popcorn.
Geo Perez
Yeah. He saw people recording him. He's like, oh, yeah, camera's on.
Jim Florentine
And that's his prop. I'm in a movie theater, so get me a popcorn.
Zach Amico
Yeah, exactly. It's. How do I look? Busy.
Jim Florentine
Yep, exactly. Maybe a Coke too.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
But he's got the pot. He has to have the bag of popcorn also, too.
Geo Perez
Like, at first he's eating it like a little chipmunk and he knows that he's being watched, so now he has to be cool.
Zach Amico
Like. Yeah, yeah. He's very performative.
Geo Perez
But I watch. I watched the new one. They're pretty good. I watched all of them. It's the same. Know what I mean? There's a threat against the world of the country. Then Tom comes in, he's like, oh, I'm going to save the day, but I'm going to hold. I'm going to risk the entire world to save one person, like, even. And. And at the end, he ends up saving the world anyways. It's the same every movie is. Exactly.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. I can't go see those movies. Predictable. It just takes me out of it. I'm like, this is just a waste of time.
Zach Amico
I'll be honest with you. Fast and the Furious has got me hooked. Those are so. They're so bad. Like, they're so. They abandoned their own logic so hard that it just gets like, how much bigger could. They were DVD player thieves. The first one that worked at a chop shop.
Jim Florentine
Right.
Zach Amico
At no point have they gone to school in the seat there wasn't Fast and the Furious, Harvard. Okay.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Now they can control space stations.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
They're like hacking into the mainframe and flying spaceships. They were stealing DVDs nine years ago.
Jim Florentine
How many they're up to now? Ten.
Zach Amico
And then they.
Jim Florentine
That's got to be the longest franchise.
Zach Amico
Oh, no, no.
Jim Florentine
Beside the Star. Star wars stuff is probably more than 10, right?
Zach Amico
Yeah, mainstream. Yeah. No, there's a lot of the witchcraft movies. Friday 13th might be it. Well, yeah, because Jason X and then.
Jim Florentine
Oh, right, okay.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Yeah. There's a few horror ones that go pretty hard. Yeah.
Geo Perez
They remake a horror every two years. It's like, all right, we're going to remake Jason, we're going to remake Freddy Chucky.
Zach Amico
But, yeah, fuck it. Fazbears does this thing that I love where they retcon. So they'll show a scene from one of the earlier movies and then just pan. And you find out another celebrity had been there that we just didn't meet in the other movies. So we're like, also, my brother Jason Momoa was here. And then another movie, like, also, we were being watched by your brother John Cena. And it's just how many celebrities they could, like Pete Davidson, like, anybody famous will just walk into it.
Geo Perez
Yeah. That's what Mission Impossible is.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Geo Perez
They take the hottest actress of the time, the best. Like. Like every. They always change the CIA director to, like, this would be like Laurence Fishburne. Now all of a sudden, it's Angela Bassett. It's all the top actors. The only good thing about that movie was especially the last one is they made AI the villain. And like, you know, when you watch Terminator, the Matrix, you're like, oh, that scared you a little bit. This really. With my head, because it was showing I don't want to, like, ruin the movie too much, but it's just like AI breaching security all across the world.
Zach Amico
I gotcha.
Geo Perez
And like, like distorting reality, basically. And they're like, oh, whoever controls AI controls the truth. And that started fucking with my head.
Jim Florentine
Because I'm like, you know, how high were you?
Geo Perez
I really.
Zach Amico
The other thing they do in those movies, I feel like I'm not crazy.
Jim Florentine
Jim, I'm telling you, I get it.
Zach Amico
I get those kind of movies are the big paycheck for somebody who just won an Oscar. So, like, Christoph Waltz, nobody knew who he was. He does Inglourious Basterds. It's fucking huge hit. He's got to be a villain then. Of course he's a villain in fucking. These kind of movies. Philip Seymour Hoffman. Yeah, you win an Oscar, then you do. Usually a bad action movie and a kids movie, and they always suck dick.
Jim Florentine
And he did do something. He did an action. Wasn't he in some Christoph Waltz?
Zach Amico
Had a couple. He was.
Jim Florentine
No, I'm talking about Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Geo Perez
He was in Michigan.
Zach Amico
Yeah, he was in one of the Mission.
Jim Florentine
That's right. Yeah. Y. Mr.
Geo Perez
Puzzle 3.
Jim Florentine
He was. You ever see Happiness? Him and Happiness.
Zach Amico
I fucking love that.
Jim Florentine
One of my favorite, my top three best movies of all time.
Zach Amico
I talk about happiness so fucking much. It just. It just came out on Steelbook because it's never been on Blu Ray before.
Jim Florentine
Oh, okay.
Zach Amico
And, dude, it's.
Geo Perez
What's that about?
Zach Amico
So it's Todd Salons. It's a Todd Salons movie. And it's the easiest way to say it's. It's three sisters and their shitty lives, and it gets as dark as dark fucking gets.
Geo Perez
So it's like a drama.
Jim Florentine
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
It's a black. It's labeled a black comedy.
Geo Perez
All right, but.
Jim Florentine
Think of this one line like the. The father is molesting, like, kids on his son's baseball team. They're like 12 or 13.
Geo Perez
Oh, I'm in. That's.
Jim Florentine
And when he finds out, the kid finds out, he's like, dad. You know, he's all, you know, bummed out. He's like, dad, would. Would you. Me. And he goes, no, son, I'd probably just jerk you off. I was. I was laughing in the movie theater. People looking at me like, what? One guy? What are you laughing at? It was one of the greatest lines ever. No, I'd probably just jerk you off, dude.
Zach Amico
It's. That's. That. That's the movie, dude. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays A. Oh, I.
Geo Perez
Thought when you meant black comedy, I thought like Lunel.
Zach Amico
No, no, it was not. It's not Medea's happiness, trust me.
Geo Perez
No, it's precious.
Zach Amico
I was like, she molested daughter, dude. It's Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a like a lewd phone caller.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And what he does is he comes on the wall and pastes your phone number onto the wall with come.
Geo Perez
That's how I used to hang pictures in jail.
Zach Amico
And it's my. That's his best role. It's that and Boogie Nights.
Geo Perez
He was a creep. He was the one. He's like, yo, let me see it. Jerk off in front of me.
Zach Amico
Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm gonna do it again. I'm gonna bring for an idiot. And this he.
Jim Florentine
Oh, when he's crying on the drive.
Zach Amico
I'm a idiot in happiness. He calls this fat lady and he goes, I'm gonna come in your ears.
Geo Perez
He killed it in Red Dragon too. That's the first time I've that I've seen him before.
Jim Florentine
The devil knows your daddy's great into.
Zach Amico
Yes. Yes.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, he's awesome in that and that movie where he's huffing. Yeah, that was pretty good.
Zach Amico
Yes, it was.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Geo Perez
Oh, let's not forget he coined the phrase sharded in movie. Along came Paulie.
Zach Amico
I did not know that.
Geo Perez
Yeah, that's the first time I've ever heard that. And then it became popular after that because he's like sharded. He's like what's that? He's like when you fart and a little bit.
Zach Amico
American Horror Story taught me the term Negress. Negress, that was my favorite. Kathy Bates is complaining about this late one of the slaves and she. And she was this hot headed Negress. But yeah, if you haven't seen happiness, it's the fucking. It's John.
Geo Perez
I'm checking it out after that.
Zach Amico
Seymour Hoffman. John. Love it. Opens it. The dad from Trick or treat is the pedophile.
Jim Florentine
So great.
Zach Amico
Oh, dude, he's. He's so. It's. Dude, there's a scene where he's buying like little kid magazines and he's outside of a baseball practice jerking off in the car like. And he's a principal. He's like a principal or a teacher. Yeah, it's fucking.
Jim Florentine
And he's making like sandwiches at the or desserts. I forget what it is for the kids that are staying over. His friends, the little boys. So he's in the kitchen put, you know, dosing them.
Zach Amico
Yeah, it's and he gets caught. Not at the end of the movie. He gets caught within the plot of the movie.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And you got to sit in it.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, I'm going to watch it again tonight. No, I went. Saw that in the theater when it came out because I was a big fan of welcome to the Dollhouse.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
That Todd did. So. And happy is just another level welcome. Dolls was. Was good. But happiness blows it away.
Zach Amico
Yeah. We always. We used to call the girl from the Dollhouse Wiener Dog.
Jim Florentine
Wiener Dog. Yeah.
Zach Amico
Because then she showed up in Hostel 2.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And she's Randy's sister in Scream 3. And then Randy's kids in the later Scream. Excuse me. Randy's nieces and nephews are like 7ft tall and black, so Wiener Dog was getting it. Man. Wiener Dog was getting pumped out.
Geo Perez
Should I be high when I watch this movie?
Jim Florentine
I wouldn't watch it with your girl.
Zach Amico
Oh, yeah.
Geo Perez
Not my daughter either. No, not the kids.
Zach Amico
Not unless you're trying to tell her something.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, baby.
Geo Perez
Listen to this cautionary tale.
Zach Amico
There's some movies I have accepted that Mrs. Amigo is not going to sit there. Devil's Reject, she can't do. And that's my favorite movie. And then Bone Tomahawk. Really, like, there's something. It's already hard enough to get a chick to sit through a Western. Like a real cowboys and Indians type thing.
Jim Florentine
Right.
Zach Amico
And then Bo Tom. Have you seen. No, Dude Bottom. So it's Kurt Russell. It's. It's pretty. It's last couple years, there is village or whatever, Old west, new sort of town. Indian invasion. Kidnap somebody's wife. They got to go save her. But it's in a timeline where the Indians are already, like, done with us. Like, they're our friends already. And so the Indians in the movie wear, like, suits with, like, bolo ties and they have, like, braided hair and speak English. And they're like, those are not of our people. They are cannibals. You do not venture into their territory. And the. The Indians are so fucked. They all have their voice boxes taken out and they have like, scream whistles. So they only, like, make like, those big scream sounds.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And it is two hours of them trudging to go and find this village as they're dying. You know, they're. They're dying of exposure. And then when they get there, boy, do they lose.
Jim Florentine
Oh, really?
Zach Amico
They lose fantastic. Fantastically. And it takes forever. And they all watch everybody. And I mean, like, they. They vivisect a guy, so they cut him with a Tomahawk upside down. So asshole first and then they take somebody's canteen, put it in the fire, and then shove it through their stomach.
Jim Florentine
Oh.
Zach Amico
Oh, boy. It's great. It's the same guy who made Brawl and cell block 99.
Jim Florentine
Okay, wait.
Geo Perez
And you would watch Irreversible with your wife?
Jim Florentine
No.
Geo Perez
All right, I was about to say.
Zach Amico
I showed him Irreversible. The, the French rape revenge movie.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And yeah, he wasn't ready for it.
Geo Perez
No, that was, he's like, yo, you guys been to jail. You might be ready for a 15 minute rape scene.
Zach Amico
I actually, so I.
Geo Perez
You don't even have that long in jail to rape somebody. This guy was just raping somebody in public.

I, I, I exposed Gio to white culture recently.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Do you want to, do you want to tell them about it?
Geo Perez
Oh, Lucky, what was it called?
Zach Amico
Lucky 13.
Geo Perez
Lucky 13. That go go bar in, in Brooklyn.
Zach Amico
I took him to the biker bar I drink at.
Jim Florentine
Oh, yeah.
Zach Amico
And he was, it was, I think, culture shock. Yeah.
Geo Perez
Because I've never been to like that, like a biker bar and not sell coke.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Geo Perez
So just they're hanging out like recreational. But the funny thing is, is these hot girls. But then he's like, you know, you got to be careful because some of these guys, you know, date these girls. And I'm like, okay, well, you set me up now because he set me up to get beat up?
Zach Amico
No, he's sometimes I always say it's a great place to hang Out. But always look in the parking lot. If the parking lots. All bikes.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Maybe go across the street.
Jim Florentine
It's a strip club too, though.
Zach Amico
It's a Go Go bar.
Jim Florentine
Okay.
Zach Amico
So they're on the. I mean, they're on you. Like you're sitting at their feet.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And it's G strings and pasties.
Jim Florentine
Okay. Give them a dollar, come around, they get.
Zach Amico
Yeah. But I mean, straight up, like, throw a fiver at them, but in your face. Twerking. And it's nothing but metal.
Jim Florentine
Oh, fucking great.
Zach Amico
So, like, you. You can hear Motorhead from down the street when you pull up in a car.
Jim Florentine
Wow.
Zach Amico
We've done a ton of events there with the movie with Troma. It's the fucking Jim. You would fucking love it.
Jim Florentine
I gotta check.
Zach Amico
And I took him there. Cause he. First of all, you were shocked there wasn't a cover. Yeah. You see naked ladies.
Geo Perez
Yeah. Well, one. It was just almost out in the open. Like, you could just kind of walk by in the street, look in, and there's just titties bouncing on the bar.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Geo Perez
And there was one girl who was super hot, man. I was like. I fell in love with her just watching her.
Zach Amico
And there's no green room, like, for the girls also.
Jim Florentine
They just hang out.
Zach Amico
So they just all sit at the end of the bar in their sweatshirts. And then it's that thing that. I know. Everybody says, you see a new one walk in, like you're about to leave.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
You're like, I'm done. And then you see a new one walk in, like, the dumpy clothes.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
And you're like, oh, I gotta see her naked. I guess I'm here for another hour.
Jim Florentine
They always come in like they're dressed like the homeless.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
The biggest sweatshirt, the biggest sweats, hair pullback.
Zach Amico
I think. Yeah. That was you. That was. I've heard you have this conversation.
Jim Florentine
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Geo Perez
That's the reason I stayed a little long. Because I'm like, I'm gonna go in for a drink and then head out. Because it's already like 2 in the morning. And then he tells me. He's like, yeah, some of the. There's other girls that dance. And I saw that. The most beautiful girl in my life.
Zach Amico
She was really, really beautiful.
Geo Perez
She had, like, a baggy T shirt. And I saw the string from the bikini, like, sticking out. I'm like, I'll wait till she goes up.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Geo Perez
And then I'll leave.
Zach Amico
And then you're right there.
Geo Perez
Yeah. And. And I was not disappointed. Because when I saw her body. Her body was amazing. There's too many tattoos though. But.
Zach Amico
But yeah, well, that's. Yeah, that's a personal preference.
Geo Perez
Yeah, I don't. I don't mind that I can. It's just the.
Zach Amico
More that's. So that's. I'll do a short version of the story. That's the bar. So I go to that bar quite a bit. That is where I like to drink. And a couple years ago on Valentine's Day, me and my chick had a heart shaped pizza. She's a teacher. She goes to bed early. I know, shit. The next day, my buddy Doug calls me and he's like. Because he. He had a production bus. He's like, the bus froze. I can't move the car to the morning. So I'm at Lucky's. He's like, I don't have any money, but I'm here with a girl, she's dancing and she's been giving me the money for drinks. He's like, you want to meet me here? I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'll be there in a fucking second.
Jim Florentine
Sounds good.
Zach Amico
Go right over. It's dead, maybe seven people there. And the girl dancing is a girl that we know who has appeared in some films and at the time, I think was having recreational fun times with my buddy. And this goblin woman, she's very beautiful, but just a. The personality of a troll creature. And she orders. Well, first of all, she's crawling across the bar. And it's a girl bartender who hates her because her pussy keeps falling out the back of her thong. And this girl's got some meat. And the bartender, I see her go, hey, listen, sweetie, if the cops come in here and see that your vagina's showing, we're gonna lose our liquor license. You know, that's really illegal. You shut the whole bar down. I'm gonna have to ask you to try and, you know, keep yourself tucked in. But she does it real nice.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And this fucking troll woman goes, oh, so you're shaming me for my large outer labia. And they start going to each person. She goes, can you see my pussy? Can you? And we're like, yeah, it was illegal.
Geo Perez
To have a fat pussy.
Zach Amico
So she's screaming, she's a monster, right? She orders jalapeno poppers. They have a fryer there because God is good. She orders jalapeno poppers, sits between me and Doug, not in the seat on the bar like a gargoyle. Like. So she's got her knees up and her hands on the bar, and she's eating jalapenos, and she looks down at me, and in a sentence that I cannot explain why, this is. My dad has been sober for 40 years. My dad does not go out and do anything. My dad kayaks. He's a health nut. My dad does not partake in nightlife. This is this gargoyle woman who's, by the way, gotta be in her late 20s, early 30s, because. Are you Paul's son? I was like, yeah. She goes, I know your dad's friend Kenny. That never is a good sentence. That sentence has never been followed with a compliment. I know your dad's friend Kenny has never been followed with excellent cardiologist. If your dad has a friend named Kenny, Kenny is up to no good.
Jim Florentine
Right?
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
So this girl also dated a guy we knew who sold drugs. So now I have to make the call the next day pop. Why does the coke. Who are on the bar, at the biker bar, I go to know you and Kenny, who I've known since I'm four, and he goes. And he describes her. And I go, yeah. And he goes, everybody, come here. He. Zach found Kenny's whole girlfriend. Oh. And apparently this girl was visiting my dad's friend in the hospital after he had had a heart attack. And the wife caught her taking his credit cards, really. To buy herself shit while she was in the hospital. And my head's like, we haven't seen that girl in years. How's she doing?
Jim Florentine
How the hell did she know? You recognize you?
Zach Amico
Because I guess when she knew they were hanging out and I was mentioned because she wanted to do movies.
Jim Florentine
Oh, okay.
Zach Amico
And they showed her one of my trailers.
Jim Florentine
Right.
Zach Amico
And then she knew me through that. How old is she? In her 30s. But it was just. It was such an uncomfortable year when she was 12. No, Kenny was probably dating her a couple of years before.
Geo Perez
Oh, okay. Got to go.
Zach Amico
But they just such a. Are you Paul? Oh, no. Why? This can't be good. So, Jim, laugh at the game. Specifically, I picked out for you today. So I am obsessed with the website called the Long and Short of It. Have you heard of it?
Jim Florentine
No.
Zach Amico
So, Shan, if you want to bring it up.
Gio Perez
I don't want to share any of this stuff yet.
Zach Amico
No, you just bring up the front page, though. Okay, so this is an old website. This is, like, from the 2000s, and it is groupies rating rock stars, performances in bed. And they have every band from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s on here.
Jim Florentine
This is Metal Sludge.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
Oh, yeah. Yeah, because I know that supposedly Sebastian Bach's marriage got blown up. Because it is something. Yes. Because they were talking about. All these girls were talking about how they were fucking him and his wife saw it and put the timeline together. Yeah.
Zach Amico
So what we have is we have a couple.
Geo Perez
They got the Billboard charts of.
Zach Amico
Yeah. What we have is a couple rock stars. And I figured you guys and me, we could guess if they got a good or a bad performance review.
Jim Florentine
All right.
Zach Amico
Sound fun?
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
All right.
Geo Perez
I'm gonna steal this for rappers.
Zach Amico
Yeah, please. Oh, Eminem's on there.
Geo Perez
Oh, is he?
Jim Florentine
For comics. They should have one for comics.
Zach Amico
I think they do. It's called Female Comics Private Messenger.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Yeah, true.
Geo Perez
There's like 10 different group chats.
Zach Amico
Yeah, that was. He said, dude, that was one of the micro scenes and one of the funniest things ever. He's like, what did female comics do all day before screenshots were invented?
Geo Perez
These have notebooks. Yeah, composition notebooks. They pass around.
Zach Amico
So before we do that, let's actually get plugs out of the way. So we teased a bit, Jan. And look at that. Like real radio. GI what do you want people to check out?

Geo Perez
Let's guess these.
Gio Perez
First one is.
Zach Amico
Man, I make everything good.
Gio Perez
Lane Staley from Alice in Chains.
Zach Amico
Alice in Chains. Tall, thin guy. I'm thinking packing heat.
Jim Florentine
So they're. They're groupies are just describing.
Zach Amico
They're describing size, dick size and performance, I would say.
Gio Perez
I just want to say, by the way, not everyone likes just they give, like, their overall. Not everyone says, like, exactly their penis size.
Zach Amico
Okay.
Jim Florentine
I would say probably not good. Heroin addict.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
Depressed.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
He's probably got, like, a soggy six. He's never getting a full erection. He's not really into it. I don't see that guy being like an animal in bed.
Zach Amico
Yeah. I would say big piece, but probably. Yeah. Can't.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. Just kind of.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
Going through the kind of a bomber. Sex is the last thing he wants. He'd rather be drugs and fucking, drinking and doing whatever.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Sounds similar.
Geo Perez
No, I. I'm. I'm gonna guess big piece. But, like, what? He said he can't get hard, but because he's gay, I think he's closet. So he fucks women and it's bad for them because he would rather be with a dude.
Zach Amico
Really?
Geo Perez
Yeah. Just the way his, like, his face looks.
Zach Amico
Got a gay face.
Geo Perez
He has a gay face. Like, show the picture.
Zach Amico
That might be heroin.
Geo Perez
That is kind of close, that.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, he never. I mean, that's like the best picture of him ever.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Yeah.
Jim Florentine
That's like. If he was on a dating profile, that'd be his first picture. And then you go to the third one, you see what he really looks like.
Zach Amico
All right, so, Shannon, tell us. Tell us about Staley.
Gio Perez
Okay, so groupies say Alison Chains lead singer Lane Staley is described as having a 3 to 4 inch penis and a sexual disappointment.
Zach Amico
Get the.
Geo Perez
All right, so wrong sexual disappointment.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. Well, three to four inches. Yeah.
Zach Amico
He doesn't get far down in the hole.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
He's not the man in the box. He's the man barely in the box.
Zach Amico
Oh, I have a funny story about that song. I'll tell you off air because it is incriminating to people. I know.
Geo Perez
I wish I knew rock to make these references.
Zach Amico
There's a wrestler in the company I work for called Stephen Flo. And he's just Eddie Vedder.
Jim Florentine
Right?
Zach Amico
Stephen Flo. Stephen Flo. And he's hilarious. And I literally. You just see me as he's coming out Googling fucking Pearl Jam songs so I can make a new reference.
Jim Florentine
Right.
Zach Amico
Because all I do is the same joke every week.
Jim Florentine
Okay. Right. That's great.
Zach Amico
But Stephen Flow rules. He tags with cocaine. Who's Kane from wwe.
Jim Florentine
Oh, nice.
Zach Amico
Coke dealer. Running a business can be exhausting. Building your website shouldn't be. With wix, you can express your ideas, give direction, then leave the heavy lifting to AI. From site creation to branded content and images. Have fun with the details, customize what you want the way you want, and manage your whole business from a centralized dashboard with expert AI tools. Build, scale, and enjoy the incredible results. You can do it all yourself on wix. All right. Billy Joe from Green Day. This guy does not give me big dick energy.
Jim Florentine
He's probably in the kinky stuff.
Zach Amico
Okay.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, Yeah. I would say he'd be like. Or he might like to get pegged.
Geo Perez
Probably. I'll say average with a Prince Albert.
Zach Amico
See, all these pop punk guys give me the impression that they want to maintain the married thing. So I think a lot of the pop punk guys are like, you can blow me. I remember reading that about Blink182 once where they were like, I'm married. I don't fuck. But I guess you could like my wife. Like, which definitely the wife doesn't. But, like, that's the compromise they've made in their head morally.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Geo Perez
I've heard that about, like, certain famous comics. Like, they'll. They're fine, like, when they're on the road, only head. They can't.
Jim Florentine
Nobody's nice of them.
Geo Perez
That's pretty. I mean, when you. When you make, like 100 million.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. You know, that's funny. Like, if you're a female, you're married to a female comic. I'm just. I get my pussy eaten and that's it.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
I don't do anything else.
Geo Perez
I just.
Jim Florentine
I'm not sucking a dick and he's not putting inside me, but I got my pussy eaten. So that's. That's all right. Right. That's not cheating.
Zach Amico
You know, the only woman that's fine with that is a woman that is clinging to you for the money.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And. And has. Doesn't have a way of getting most of it.
Geo Perez
No safety net.
Zach Amico
Yeah. She doesn't have the divorce. She. She's out of options.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
All right. So, Billy, Jeff. I'm going to say. I'm going to say wife guy, but we'll get blown.
Gio Perez
Shannon Green Day frontman Billy Joe Armstrong has the smallest penis of any rock star. We know. Billy's little Willie is only about 3 inches, man.
Zach Amico
All right, well, you know what? This ain't going great.
Geo Perez
I thought all these guys were packing.
Zach Amico
Maybe they're making up for something. Maybe it's a different. I think it's. I may. It's the type of rock star you are.
Jim Florentine
Maybe like, Sebastian Bach used to be able to tie his penis in a knot. That's what he'd do.
Zach Amico
That was like a Terry Stem.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. And then he would always do a helicopter. He'd be swinging around at a party and like that. Yeah, he was very proud of that.
Geo Perez
Hey, baby, you want to see the pretzel?
Zach Amico
These are. Andy Dick used to do the wristwatch a lot. Wrap his dick around his wrist and walk up to people go, do you. Any time.
Geo Perez
It is the comedian Andy Dick.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Geo Perez
God damn, that's funny.
Zach Amico
All right, now we got Lars Ulrich from Metallica. Now I feel like I might. I remember one thing about this one. If I'm right, uncut, probably because he's.
Jim Florentine
From Denmark, so he's Danish, so it's probably. Yeah, he's probably uncut. I'd say, like, selfish. He probably just wants a blowjob. He doesn't want to fuck. That's what I'm thinking.
Geo Perez
I don't think we're gonna have three baby dicks back to back. So I'm gonna think he's probably packing and he's putting it down. I think he's packaging. He's putting it down.
Zach Amico
With his personality, I feel like he can only have a little dick or a big dick. He has a little dick and he's compensating, or he has a huge dick and couldn't possibly give a fuck.
Gio Perez
Shannon Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is, quote, unforgiven for being a sexual disappointment. One groupie had had him. One group. You had him said his technique is wham, bam, thank you, ma' am. And Lars sometimes has trouble getting up his uncircumcised penis.
Geo Perez
Oh, shit. He called it.
Jim Florentine
Yep.
Zach Amico
That's coke, I think. Coke.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
All right. Because I was. I was gonna have her put Manson on here, but obviously the Manson is just. No, he's on coke all the time.
Jim Florentine
Sober now for, like, four or five years.
Zach Amico
Yeah, no, I'm sure it's better now, but.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
I mean, in the. In the days of.
Jim Florentine
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
It's pretty.
Geo Perez
But he's like six. Six, right?
Jim Florentine
No.
Geo Perez
Isn't he tall?
Jim Florentine
He's like six two something.
Zach Amico
Yeah, he wears big boots and. Yeah, I think it's more of like. Those are stilts. G. That's a big. That's a big podium.
Gio Perez
Six, one.
Geo Perez
Six. Oh, yeah.
Zach Amico
He was a. He was a tiny music journalist from Florida named Brian.
Geo Perez
I thought he was in the one. The years.
Zach Amico
Well, that was his show. He was a music journalist then he made the band. And all the first articles about his band were by Brian Warner and about how big of a deal is this band was gonna be. Yeah, those are all Brian Warner articles. So he kind of created his own, and it's brilliant. But they were also just like a. Like, they were like a psychedelic rock band on that first album, which is very good. All right. Hexum. Nick Hexum from 311. Very in shape.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, he's.
Zach Amico
I bet. I bet if you're in that good shape, you probably also want to make sex and performance.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, definitely. He's lasting long. He's satisfying them. And probably like average penis, but amazing in bed.
Geo Perez
Yeah. Definitely looks at himself in the mirror.
Zach Amico
He definitely has a lot of Patrick Bateman. Yeah. All right, Shannon.
Geo Perez
He definitely flexes like.
Gio Perez
Okay, so this. This one. Okay, this is what. Sorry, this isn't written correctly. This is what one lady had to say about lead singer Nick Hexum. Quote, I had a roommate who used to sleep with Nick in 1998. Every time she was with him, she would walk really funny for the rest of the day. He had a big dick and would go on for hours. She said he was a great lover.
Zach Amico
All right, that one. That one.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
I bet this next one to me gives big dick energy. Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails, I think. Yeah. The. The recklessness he has, I feel like leads to big dick and kinky.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. And he was friends with Manson.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
A lot.
Zach Amico
He got huge. He got super jacked.
Jim Florentine
He did.
Zach Amico
At a certain point. He was really, really jacked.
Jim Florentine
So he's probably on the testosterone. So he wants, you know.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
He wants to fuck.
Zach Amico
Yeah, I think so.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. So I'm saying good in bed, above average sized penis.
Zach Amico
You know.
Geo Perez
I think. I think he's probably big and into kinky, right?
Jim Florentine
He is. I want to. You like an animal, you know, so.
Geo Perez
Yeah, like, you know, choke me out, you know, punch me in the face type once again.
Zach Amico
A pivot, though. Used to be a synth pop guy. Same as Ministry.
Jim Florentine
True.
Gio Perez
Shannon and says we hear he's quite the dildo connoisseur. He always like. He also likes role playing. We also hear Trent likes to be dominated once in a while and has mommy issues. His penis is reportedly about seven and a half inches.
Geo Perez
Inches above average.
Zach Amico
Good for him. Hey, that's what I say. And finally we have one that to me, this is going to be the star of the show, John Dolmayan from System of A Down.
Jim Florentine
I love him.
Geo Perez
Oh, that guy's got a. He's got like a 10 inch penis and it's got like a beard like him.
Zach Amico
I bet it's a big. I bet he actually hits the double bass with it like I. He does. His feet are in the air during solos. Shannon.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's an animal. Lasts long.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And just openly a Trump guy and still in System of a Doubt. Is so funny.
Geo Perez
Oh, yeah, he's.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, yeah.
Geo Perez
He's breaking cervical.
Zach Amico
Hilarious. People ask him and I'm like, yeah, he's our friend. He's literally one of their brother in laws.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
What, are we gonna kick him out of the bed because we didn't vote for the same guy.
Jim Florentine
Years ago in Vegas, he came to one of my comedy shows and afterwards I was selling CDs and he goes, what do you got? I want to get everything here, just take it. He goes, no, come on, come on, man. I'm a big fan. He goes, listen, we sold 10 million records. Just take this 200 bucks. He just threw me like 200 on the table.
Zach Amico
That's awesome.
Jim Florentine
But, yeah, no, he's fucked. He's great. Yeah. Because all the other guys in the band aren't. Aren't Trump supporters. Yeah, yeah, Obviously he's like, yeah, I don't give a shit.
Zach Amico
Yeah. And he's married. I think he's married to Serge's sister.
Jim Florentine
Oh, he is.
Geo Perez
I believe he might search Tonkian.
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So here we go. Shannon.
Gio Perez
Massive clip that. Great in bed, but selfish. Loves to receive oral if you can get all of it in your mouth.
Geo Perez
Oh.
Gio Perez
But hesitant to reciprocate unless he knows you. Very dominant, but will not look at you while he's you. Likes when you play with his balls. If you're a groupie and act like one, he will treat you with zero respect.
Geo Perez
I'm talking about. That's that. That guy is the champ.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. I won, my boy.
Geo Perez
Never look a woman in the eyes when you're in bed. Never vulnerable.
Zach Amico
That was the answer for everyone going, gee, I wonder how big Arab guys. I wonder how big Armenian lays it down, Right? Yeah. If you want to. If you want to waddle home smelling like cologne.
Geo Perez
Aftershave. Brute.
Zach Amico
All right, well, thank you, Shannon. That was very fun. Let's do a little toy tonight. Tight or no. And this is where we discuss. We judge women. All right, let's see here.
Gio Perez
Sorry. That load. It's taking a second to load there.
Zach Amico
No problem. Hey, Shannon. This is a safe place.
Gio Perez
There you go. A little sound.
Geo Perez
What the.
Zach Amico
All right, so for people listening, this is an otherwise pretty blonde.
Geo Perez
It took me a second to notice the arm.
Zach Amico
Who has.
Geo Perez
How pretty.
Zach Amico
She is a Toxic Avenger arm.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
That's the only way I could describe. She has.
Jim Florentine
And that's not fake. That's an AI or anything.
Zach Amico
I believe she's got a condition.
Geo Perez
Yeah, she's, like, mid, nutty, professional.
Jim Florentine
Well, she's gonna jerk me off. I'd rather use the other arm.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
Not the. Not the.
Zach Amico
Yeah. I don't know. I mean, if I'm not looking.
Jim Florentine
Arm.
Zach Amico
If I'm not looking, honestly, that might have some torque to it.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, but she's gonna. She might rip my helmet off.
Geo Perez
Honestly, though, because it just seems like a lot of fat. So it might be softer. It might almost be like a pocket. Because, like, look at her hand. It's kind of like.
Zach Amico
You say, the swelling.
Geo Perez
Yeah. Yeah. Like her hand has, like, more meat to it because it's not the arm you're fucking. Look at her hand.
Jim Florentine
So if you had a choice which hand she would use, you would take the bigger. The bigger arm.
Geo Perez
I'll try both, but I would feel like the bigger one might have more grip to it.
Zach Amico
I want to know where she keeps the big arm when she's jerking you off with the regular arm. Because if she's caressing your face and playing with your nipples with the big arm.
Jim Florentine
That's true.
Zach Amico
You might go switch.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah. I don't want this creature arm coming at me.
Geo Perez
You just got. It's only doggy stuff, doggy style. And then you look.
Zach Amico
Yeah. See that? You barely notice there. Yeah. She's.
Geo Perez
What's the condition?
Zach Amico
That's a great question, Chad. Does it say at the top of her profile? What?
Gio Perez
It doesn't, but I looked her up and it said that it's just a vascular disability that she was born with. It doesn't have the actual name of it. Yeah, Vascular malformation.
Zach Amico
All right, well, so what do we say? Toyota night, but bring it back up.
Geo Perez
So the question is, would I still hit?
Zach Amico
Yeah. Would you? Yeah. I think Shannon, that's a real rough one. The arms really in the forefront there.
Geo Perez
Yeah. It's like you get. It's like half the hug. It feels like a man hugging you.
Zach Amico
Shout out to Roland in the chat. She looks like Mega Man.
Geo Perez
Hellboy arm.
Zach Amico
Somebody says just Larry Holder says just cut it off.
Jim Florentine
Just.
Geo Perez
Yeah, because then you'll just be a hot amputee.
Zach Amico
As a cute pooper though.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Geo Perez
I'm saying only doggy style.
Zach Amico
But then you're her from behind and she. She's like, yeah, no, me hard with her monster arm. See, that's the thing. You could probably role play that. She's been taken over by a monster and you have to restrain that arm the whole time.
Geo Perez
She's behind a wall.
Zach Amico
Yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Behind a wall. And you see the arm come in. Grab her.
Geo Perez
Help me.
Zach Amico
Or you just had the arm come out of the closet.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Dude, what a great way to scare kids, right? Hide under the bed.
Jim Florentine
That arm come out.
Zach Amico
Hide under the bed. Hide the closet. You just have that arm thing from Adam Stanley.
Geo Perez
Its way out, dude. Imagine just getting blown by her and then all of a sudden you just feel those hands tickling your balls.
Jim Florentine
I would. I would.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
Is there any way you could leave your jacket on?
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
I don't see it. Yeah, it might throw me for a loop.
Geo Perez
Can you wear this baggy crew neck sweater?
Zach Amico
Can you wear this Hot Topic hoodie? Thumb holes.
Geo Perez
The dumb holes.
Jim Florentine
She'd be a great female wrestler. Yeah. Use that. Yeah.
Zach Amico
Oh, ye. Like Lex Luger had the. The plate in his arm.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, like stand a man Hansen. Remember you said the lariat? Yeah, yeah, that'd be great. That'd be a move or finish a move.
Zach Amico
She might kill people with it.
Jim Florentine
Right.
Zach Amico
Have you seen the arm wrestler Jeff Dabe?
Jim Florentine
No.
Zach Amico
Shady. Can you look up Jeff D A B E? He's a professional arm wrestler. And I don't know what he has other than what I would call Popeye disease. And his arms. And he looks so silly. And he just murders dudes.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Shannon, did you find him?
Gio Perez
Yeah, I'm just scrolling. Scrolling through this video. I'll just play it from here.
Zach Amico
Doing all my chores.
Geo Perez

Zach Amico
You can probably find his Instagram.
Geo Perez
Younger guys are fast.
Jim Florentine
Oh, it's already got.
Zach Amico
Yeah. So this guy, I want this guy to do power slap so bad and just decapitate someone and they have to close it.
Geo Perez
He's gonna remove somebody's jaw with that arm.
Zach Amico
I have a bunch of friends. I said this, right? I have a bunch of friends who just went down and did the combine for Power Slap for the next season. And he said, it's like high tech, not like they're testing your neck strength. They're, like, doing, like, real something. Like they're really, like, making sure these dudes don't kill each other.
Jim Florentine
Right.
Zach Amico
But the one guy. The one guy they have is Simone. He's going to murder everybody. All right, so this is him.
Geo Perez
Yeah, but he's wrestling.
Jim Florentine
Like, I like to see him arm wrestle another chick. Yeah, big arm.
Zach Amico
Dude, that would be.
Jim Florentine
That's right.
Zach Amico
That's like that tennis match between the guy and the chick. That was the battle of the genders.
Geo Perez
Oh, dude, imagine how. How loud that high five would be between them.
Zach Amico
Look at.
Geo Perez
That is.
Zach Amico
He's got pictures of him on his Instagram as a kid that are fucking wild. Yeah, that's. Go down. See, there's him in, like, the 80s.
Jim Florentine
Wow.
Zach Amico
When he's got pictures of him as, like, a child and he's got these big. Yeah, there he is. What?
Jim Florentine
The.
Geo Perez
One one looks bigger than the other one, too.
Zach Amico
Look. Yeah. So it's not like implants or anything. He's just. Let's see. He's just been yoked.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Geo Perez
How do you discipline a kid like that?
Zach Amico
He just. Dude, you gotta teach that kid quick. Yeah, you think? I bet they went through a few cats.
Geo Perez
Put like an electrical. An electrical collar to control him.
Zach Amico
I'd be so. Dude. Oh, he's probably, you know, like, it's hard to explain to people. Old man strength.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Like. Like, farms are like just life strength, not, like weight strength. Like, growing up wrestling. Like, one of the coaches would just be like an old man, like, what are you gonna do to me? And then he grabs you and you're like, I'm. My coach was like a alcoholic in his 60s, right? And he was. He was so strong.
Geo Perez
Yeah. Like, the grip like. Like, a lot of my family, like, grew up on the farms and working in the field, and I had one uncle, he would straighten his finger. Could break through a fucking drywall. Like, just break like this.
Zach Amico
Boom.
Geo Perez
And poke a hole. He'll get drunk and do that shit. And I remember just like, trying with two fingers and bending my fucking, like, fingers back. Like, how the fuck did he do that shit? Just bah. And his hands was gripping. He'll be like, try to bend my finger back with both hands. And he'll hold his hand like that. And I'll be using Both hands, trying to pull his finger back and you wouldn't be able to get it back.
Zach Amico
My grandpa was like that. He was a welder for the Navy.
Geo Perez
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And he was just all. He had. The big fucking forearms with the faded tattoos. So fucking the only time my dad I've never seen do anything scary. Except one time a guy started mouthing off at the hardware store, just talking shit to. My dad's like kind of nerdy looking when he's got his work clothes on. But my dad's kind of yoked. He fucking picked up this big sledgehammer and my dad went like this and he tilted it and touched the tip of his nose with it and then put it back down on the ground. And the guy went, I'm good.
Geo Perez
These guys are like superhuman. Because that same. My same uncle, I don't think my.
Zach Amico
Dad'S ever been to. I've never heard my dad lift weights. My dad does calisthenics in the morning. Like it's the twenties still. Yeah.
Jim Florentine
Like jumping jacks and all that.
Zach Amico
Jumping jacks, squats and push ups.
Jim Florentine
Wow.
Zach Amico
That's all he does. And he's fucking like shredded on a fucking fishing boat. He also. Fucking 40 years probably.
Jim Florentine
Okay. Yeah.
Geo Perez
It's like they never been to the gym. Like, how the fuck do you have a six pack? And it's just like lifting bales of hay. But yeah, that same mocha. I remember we was at the river once and he was saying that there's like this little like cove or something in the river where it's like flowing fast. Now you can't. Like we're. When we go to the river, we're at the park where it's shallow because if you go where it's running, like flowing, it's going to take you. But he would jump in the part where it's dangerous. And he said he swims down. Like, I just saw him go down there. But he says it's like a little hole dugout where there's like shrimp. So you see, he would jump in there, swim down with the current, grab a handful of shrimp and swim back up and you just throw the shrimp on the floor. And I'm like, anybody else would have tried to do that. They're going to drown.
Zach Amico
Yeah, that's. That's almost like. That sounds like Dominican noodling.
Geo Perez
Yeah, it's Dominican Ethan Hunt.
Jim Florentine
He noted he could have just went to the store and bought a bag.
Geo Perez
No, they're poor, man. They were poor as fuck.
Zach Amico
That's the. The red. The noodling when the rednecks put their whole forearm. There's. There's like hot redneck chicks that just do those videos. Love them. And we're actually leave on another hot girl video. This is my favorite body cam footage of the week. And then we're going to head out of here. But yeah. So this is a young woman who I believe might be getting a dui. Shannon.
Gio Perez
Yes.
Jim Florentine

Zach Amico
You're under arrest. Have a seat in the car, please. No, I'm not getting that card you.
Geo Perez

When I didn't talk, man. Cops don't get to do anything anymore. Hey, sir, I am driving home to my family and I didn't do anything. So why are you accusing me?
Geo Perez

Zach Amico

Geo Perez
I have a.
Zach Amico

You know what we'll get, you know, we'll let you off with a warning. Just we want to make sure you're home safe.
Jim Florentine
We're going to drop off, and then as soon as they get off their shift, they go over to the house. I've had cop friends do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come by in a few hours. But look, this is a hot chick that no guy ever says no to her.
Zach Amico
Yeah, that's. She's so confused by situations that this.
Jim Florentine
Little white dude is like, no, you have to listen to me.
Zach Amico
It's like when they talk at comedy clubs and people are like, shut up. They've never been told.
Jim Florentine
Never shut up before, Never. So she's like, are you kidding me? I get whatever I want. Look at these fake tits. And you're telling me I'm not doing it. So she was shocked. Like, I have to. I have to listen to this guy. I never do. I get my way every time.

Lane Staley (Alice in Chains)
Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day)
Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails)
John Dolmayan (System of a Down)
The trio engages in witty banter, blending exaggerated humor with playful ribbing of famous musicians, showcasing their chemistry and comedic timing.
Transitioning from celebrity antics, the hosts tackle the topic of police body cameras through a humorous reenactment:
