[Bob]

Free speech.

[Zach Amico]

So thank you so much. Speaking of free speech, Sid, I'm very happy to have you here.

[Shannon]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

Because I really. And this just happened this way.

[Shannon]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

I did not say I need. I need a black.

[Shannon]

Yeah. But nobody, nobody says, I need a black Sydney. Yeah, well, that's never been.

[Zach Amico]

However, some controversy apparently has flared up with the Upright Citizens Brigade. And last night while I was scrolling through, you know when you see a post that's just text.

[Bob]

Oh, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And then there's. You got to slide over because there's more.

[Bob]

Yeah. And you're like, oh, it's like page one out of three.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. You're like trouble. I saw one from UCB last night. I started to read it. I was like, shannon, look into it. Let's figure this out. So it looks like UCB is in a bit of a pickle.

[Shannon]

Oh.

[Zach Amico]

They did a Juneteenth show.

[Shannon]

Ian Finance is.

[Zach Amico]

Oh yeah.

[Shannon]

Ian's the number one comment through every comedian controversy. Ian is the number one comment.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Ian's got a fucking.

[Shannon]

I love it.

[Zach Amico]

Ian's got to get his fucking nose and glasses in every fucking.

[Bob]

I'll just skip the original post, read his comments so I know what my opinion is.

[Zach Amico]

All right, so I'll read it for the audio listeners. Thursday night, we were proud to host Ninjas Assemble, an all black comedy collective for their Juneteenth themed variety show. The show was curated by a black production team with 20 plus writers of various backgrounds contributing individual bits to the show. The material explored complex themes about race, racism, gentrification and capitalism through their artistic expression. During the show, an audience member expressed discomfort with some of the imagery presented. The piece that seemed to evoke the most intense reaction was written by a black writer writing from his own complicated experiences with race and culture. This led to a mid show conversation between the artist and the audience. Remember? Now hold on, let's pause here.

[Bob]

This is an article about crowd work. This is crazy.

[Shannon]

Can I. Can I say this so my brain can move on and catch up to the rest of the people? I think it's crazy that their show is called Ninjas Assemble and it's an all black show because you don't know if people showed up late or they're just undetectable.

[Zach Amico]

Yes. They can't dress as chairs.

[Bob]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

So already from this, when they say a mid show conversation, that means somebody. Yeah.

[Shannon]

On her phone, somebody.

[Bob]

Yeah, there's somebody was going up.

[Zach Amico]

Somebody was offended and started yapping and interrupted the sketch.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Now the headline couldn't just be black lady can't keep quiet during public performance.

[Shannon]

So that would be black lady went to a public performance, but yes, exactly.

[Zach Amico]

So let's keep going. This led to a mid show conversation between the artist and the audience member. An important dialogue that aimed to foster understanding within our community. The conversation about race is sensitive and personal topic. We believe in addressing the issue with respect. We recognize that art can be powerful and evoke a wide range of emotions and interpretations. In the current climate, many people are feeling hurt and marginalized. We and the show's producers, writers understand that. We have also heard from many who are curious about the material that was discussed on social media and wish to view it for themselves to understand its context. We agree with the importance of open access and transparency. The full recording of last night's show is freely available via the YouTube link in our bio. We stand by the artists, their work and their fundamental right to express themselves at UCB and why we are unwavering in our commitment to uplifting black artists and ensuring that their comedic voices are heard without censorship. Thank you for being part of this vital conversation.

[Bob]

Vital is a hilarious word to use.

[Shannon]

Do. Also, if you are writing an apology letter and you have to write the words, in this current climate, your life sucks.

[Zach Amico]

This is now the irony alone of this happening to a company that in all fairness uses indentured servitude to staff their shows.

[Shannon]

The Upright Citizens Brigade does that.

[Zach Amico]

If you take classes at ucb.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

You also work there.

[Shannon]

Okay. This is more of the ain't right citizens brigade.

[Zach Amico]

So, like, you're taking tickets, you're sweeping popcorn.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

You're an indentured servant. The longer you're there, the higher up you go. So you pay to work there.

[Shannon]

You get to. You get to buy your own freedom.

[Zach Amico]

Yes. And then eventually you teach there and maybe one day they'll pay you.

[Shannon]

Oh, wow.

[Zach Amico]

If you. I don't know if you guys, this might be a little. Before both of your tenure. They used to do stand up at ucb and Kurt Metzger started this big thing because they didn't. They said they would charge for the show and not pay comics.

[Bob]

Insane.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So Kurt asked for $20 for comics.

[Shannon]

Oh, I wonder how many tickets that was.

[Zach Amico]

It was a ten dollar ticket.

[Shannon]

That's two tickets. That's two people. Can I get two people?

[Bob]

Can we check Sid's math on that?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Yeah. And so Kurt made a big stink about it. It was a public debate and UCB's response was to stop doing stand up.

[Bob]

Instead of paying $20 for a spot. No respect.

[Zach Amico]

Right?

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Bob]

Honestly, that's so funny.

[Shannon]

Yeah, that's. That is. I. I mean, that's hilarious. That's the most hilarious way to handle that problem.

[Zach Amico]

And the other thing, that's super Funny to me about UCB and Amy Poehler in general that I feel like Amy Poehler, who I actually really think is very fun. I think Parks and Rec is brilliant.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

The way this woman fucking got away from that Louis CK thing. So the whole thing.

[Shannon]

He tried to trap her in a room and she got away.

[Zach Amico]

No. Yeah. She's wiley. Yeah, well, people forget he's on Parks and Rec.

[Bob]

Yeah, he's the.

[Zach Amico]

Why is. He's her cop boyfriend. Why is he on that show? Head producer, executive producer of that show is his manager. And Amy's manager, Dave. Becky, who is the guy who told those girls not to fucking talk about Louis.

[Bob]

Wait, really?

[Zach Amico]

Who is also part of this company.

[Shannon]

Oh.

[Zach Amico]

So you see, be naughty boys sometimes Indentured servant. Basically. They pay. They make you pay to be a slave to be there. So Shannon, did you find. Now I had read online a little about what this sketch was.

[Bob]

Yeah, I want to see the bit.

[Zach Amico]

And if it is what I think it was, I laughed at the concept, which was a pinata lynching.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Yeah, I have that part. I tried to go back a little because they do a little bit of like a wings joke, but I'm just. It's a really long bit, so I'll just start.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Get us to wherever we need to be.

[Tim McLaughlin]

So here, this. If this white chick is throwing a Juneteenth party, she bought these costumes, which is these little sparkly hats. That's like the. What happened before here?

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Bob]

I thought it was all black.

[Zach Amico]

It's all black writers and you need. You need.

[Shannon]

You need a white person.

[Zach Amico]

It's improv.

[Bob]

Yeah. Like, how do we start? We need a. We need a white.

[Shannon]

Yeah, we can't have a white. We can't have a black person playing a white person for this.

[Bob]

It.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, because I am an ally. I mean, they kind of go hard.

[Sydney Gantt]

Listen, also if you guys are hungry, like I also catered in from a local black owned restaurant. Oh, that's nice.

[Bob]

You got like lemon pepper wings or something.

[Shannon]

Look, we are not a mon.

[James Moss]

All right?

[Shannon]

In fact, hot take.

[Bob]

I hate lemon pepper wings.

[Sydney Gantt]

No, no, no. Like I wanted you guys to have options, so I ordered a wing flight instead. Oh, wait a minute.

[Zach Amico]

This is funny to me so far.

[Bob]

Pulp Fiction bit with the wings. That's fun.

[Zach Amico]

You know what.

[Shannon]

I hate? How obviously gay that guy is in the background. Hasn't said a word. Have some fun.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, yeah, no, that's the spirit of. I even got us a pinata.

[Shannon]

All right, was.

[Bob]

Was that the audience member that yelled out that's racist.

[Zach Amico]

I think. Hold on.

[Bob]

That's hilarious. That's a funny thing.

[Shannon]

It was also not. The noose was around its head, not its neck, if you noticed that.

[Bob]

Yeah, poor form.

[Shannon]

Yeah, Well, I think it was like.

[James Moss]

Yo, yo. Ahu. You cannot heckle a character. Show, please.

[Zach Amico]

Hey.

[Sydney Gantt]

Your own trauma. She just brought out someone on a. On a laugh or whatever the. It's called.

[Shannon]

It's called a noose.

[Bob]

Alaska.

[James Moss]

It's not funny. Hey.

[Zach Amico]

No, it wasn't.

[James Moss]

It was not too many jokes about.

[Sydney Gantt]

A white man being scared.

[Zach Amico]

Absolutely.

[Shannon]

Also, this is not an important conversation.

[Zach Amico]

Pause. This is not a conversation.

[Shannon]

No, not at all.

[Zach Amico]

This is a crazy. By the way.

[Shannon]

Yeah, Well, I mean, if you've ever.

[Zach Amico]

Isn't it funny that we all knew it was a woman?

[Bob]

Oh, of course. That's just implied.

[Zach Amico]

There is no way on God's green earth a guy would go, everyone needs to know how upset I am about this.

[Shannon]

This is.

[Zach Amico]

They could have really hung a guy and I don't think a guy would.

[Bob]

Have said anything like, man, they're pushing it. Wow.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Yeah. I think go for it some Juneteenth.

[Shannon]

Yeah. I think this year, in 2025 and all of this year, this is the closest a woman has had to a conversation with another human being. Like this. This is it. This is almost the conversation.

[Bob]

Yeah, yeah. Emotions on a hundred words on ten.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Lasso. Lasso really fucking fucked her argument up. You're mad about a thing you don't know the word for.

[Bob]

This is the rootingest tootin est thing I've ever seen.

[Shannon]

She also. It also would have been like if she would have got to lasso sooner. It took her too long to get to the wrong word.

[Bob]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She didn't stumble for it.

[Shannon]

You can't. You can't trip and fall onto the wrong word.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Bob]

I loved the guy.

[Zach Amico]

I love that show on Amazon, Ted. Noose. I want to see more. I want to see. I want. Because this isn't a conversation. This is a lady interrupting the show.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And the fact that UCB wouldn't go. First of all, the fact that they said anything. Fucking suck a dick. What a bunch of pussies.

[Shannon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

This lady should have this not to say. All right. This lady should be dragged out.

[Shannon]

She should have been dragged out.

[Zach Amico]

Not by the neck.

[Bob]

Yeah, yeah. Respectfully.

[Zach Amico]

Respectfully removed.

[Bob]

I would have had a conversation with her.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

They should have wrapped that pinata around her and took her out of there.

[Zach Amico]

But yeah. It's just. And obviously the others, it's. The seven people on stage are black.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And the white lady's playing an idiot.

[Bob]

Yes.

[Shannon]

It's obvious that the person screaming is biracial, raised by her white mother.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, you think?

[Bob]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon]

Listen, you can hear in her voice.

[Bob]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

The. You know what?

[Bob]

The. Like, this will not.

[Zach Amico]

I did not. That did not occur to me. And now the inflection in her voice does read that way to me.

[Shannon]

Because here's the deal. Like, you. Like, you can talk about, like, the way different black people sound, but hear how they sound when they get upset. That's how you really know they're. They're their genesis. You know, it's like you can tell their origin when they get upset.

[Zach Amico]

Like, if I actually get guinea, I get. I. When I'm furious, the Italian comes out.

[Shannon]

Yeah. I sound like I'm trying to start a prison riot. I can't help it. I try not to yell ever. It's terrifying. But, you know.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, so that. That. That came out. But so, yeah, I'm. So. I'm still caught up. I called it, alas.

[Shannon]

Like, she just imagined somebody.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Right time period.

[Shannon]

Correct.

[Zach Amico]

Wrong. Not.

[Bob]

Yeah, she wasn't a boy scout, for sure.

[Zach Amico]

Let's keep it going. I want to see more.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Just to let you know. We will finish this, and then afterwards, I do have this chick. She posted a tick tock recapping the.

[Zach Amico]

Wearing a T shirt that says, slap your local racist.

[Shannon]

She also has some sort of like. Like, urban hair. Like, not hair to any. Like, real black people wear, but like, black people in comic books where.

[Zach Amico]

Yes, okay.

[Shannon]

She has that type of hair. Big beaded jewelry, and that's all I got.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Bob]

She's got, like, a Sprite commercial look.

[Zach Amico]

[Sydney Gantt]

Funny.

[Shannon]

All right, so now I think she might look closer to the girl that's in the middle at that table. Yeah, I think she looks closer to her. Very skinny, though, and still with some sort of choker around her neck.

[Zach Amico]

Okay. Like a lasso.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Where's.

[Bob]

[Shannon]

Oh, dude, she's in the Uber right now. Is as far away from this as possible.

[Bob]

She drives an Accord.

[Bob]

I am leaving of my own Escalade.

[Shannon]

Yeah. It's got a dent in the front, right?

[Jorge]

This is like, this is just a moment that we can all live in.

[Zach Amico]

So I appreciate.

[Shannon]

Oh, God.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jorge]

Thank you. I appreciate you using your voice, dude.

[Shannon]

I am sick and tired of teachable moments.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Can we stop learning shit for, like, three years, please?

[Zach Amico]

I think we've got it figured out.

[Shannon]

I think we do.

[Zach Amico]

I think we figured out.

[Bob]

We know all the stuff.

[Zach Amico]

You know, hey, don't shoot black people in the street like dogs, but at.

[Shannon]

The same time, shoot them like black people. At the same time, shoot them like belligerent black people.

[Zach Amico]

If you run at a cop with a knife, they're going to probably shoot you. Yeah, we've kind of figured it out that both sides.

[Shannon]

That's pop culture's fault.

[Zach Amico]

Yes.

[Shannon]

It makes black people with knives think they're faster than they are. Dude, don't run at a cop with a knife. You're not as fast as you think you are.

[Zach Amico]

You're not faster than a speeding bullet.

[Shannon]

No.

[Bob]

What a plot twist it would be to find out the lady is, like, Mexican and she was upset cause of the pinata thing.

[Zach Amico]

I've had a skinny. That's her. That is unacceptable.

[Shannon]

This close to Cinco de Mayo.

[Zach Amico]

Now, does anyone need fruit chopped up in a Ziploc bag?

[Bob]

I watched a comedy show last night, and all I can say is aye, aye, aye.

[Zach Amico]

Before I leave, I do have churros.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Isn't it also kind of upsetting that we didn't get to find out what was in that pinata?

[Zach Amico]

Yes. I mean, I guess that is a good natural ending to the sketch.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

With the. Huh.

[Bob]

Right.

[Zach Amico]

But yes, it would have been, because.

[Shannon]

I. I imagine they layered it with comedy. I imagine something hilarious was in that.

[Zach Amico]

No, I think that was the natural end of the sketch.

[Shannon]

Oh, you think that was.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, because that's a Blackout. Like that. Yeah. That's how you end. That's how you end, Sketcher. The blackout is usually.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I hate art.

[Bob]

And scene.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Hate art because I.

[Zach Amico]

What would you have put it. Put in it?

[Bob]

I mean, well, job application.

[Shannon]

Pictures of other black kids. You know, things that.

[Zach Amico]

Black day cards.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Bob]

I would pay real money to be in that room when they try and start the next sketch when they're like, everyone good? All right, the next scene, we're on a school bus, and everyone's like, okay.

[Zach Amico]

Are we the front? The front, the front. The front of a school bus?

[Bob]

The regular school bus.

[Zach Amico]

On time?

[Shannon]

Everybody's at the bus stop on time, and nobody's screaming into a speakerphone.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. It doesn't sound like when they took Damian to the zoo. All right, keep it going, Shannon.

[Jorge]

Like, I work with students. I work with people that are also developing and learning our history and how we can spin it to something that we can all enjoy. Even though there was this scalping bit done by somebody who's a quarter black that might not appear and have the illusion that he should be making that joke, there was this pinata bit written by none other than Rel, the blackest dude on stage. So an image of somebody as a white actress you don't want to see doing that or making a joke about that dude.

[Shannon]

How a masculine is it to apologize in a tank top?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Wild.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

The fact that he has to explain that a black guy has to stand on stage. I wrote it. Yeah.

[Shannon]

So I have. I have a fun thought with my hand. So here's my thought experiment for these woke types. Right. Like, we all know that it's okay that rappers say the nword.

[Zach Amico]

Yes.

[Shannon]

Right. So hear me out. Is it okay if an AI created rapper to sound black? Created to sound black Is using the N word. Is that okay? Right. And then is it okay if a white person wrote the rap for it?

[Bob]

Was it written by AI or a white person?

[Shannon]

No, written written by a white person, put into an AI prompt to then be wrapped.

[Zach Amico]

Do they say it with an AI or an ERI.

[Shannon]

A little bit. Both. Some from column B, some from column B. I want people to really have.

[Zach Amico]

To think about that as someone who has listened to at least 30 versions of different kinds of music. Doing the Kanye Heil Hitler song.

[Shannon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I will say certain kinds of music. When they hit the ER today, I listened to one that was like, Irish folk music doing it and it slapped. But when they got to it, it was a little like, so far, the pop punk one has been the best.

[Shannon]

Okay. I'm definitely searching out that Irish folk music 1.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah. You're going to enjoy it. Let's keep it going. Shannon, this should be. I'm sure this has got to be. Towards the end of this conversation, I.

[Jorge]

Hope I'm before you. Like these people on the show that put together the show that produced this show, everybody in that green room, we care about each other. We care about the show. We care about telling the truth, no matter how ugly it is. And we're trying to find joy in that moment. And we hope that you can share that vulnerability and a bit of that joy with us. And can I say something, please? Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

I think that parody is reasonable as long as it's punching up.

[Shannon]

Oh, wait, was that you? That was them.

[Bob]

Yes. You may speak.

[Zach Amico]

This is why I have no career, but this is. This is why I'm failing. If there's one moment to show why I have such a low rung loser in comedy, it's that I saw the button that said chimp and I went, you got. I. No point. My hand just went.

[Bob]

I mean, they're very nice.

[Shannon]

Yeah. I would do an impression, but I have to draw a line somewhere.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah. From that dummy's neck to the ceiling.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

All right, keep it going.

[Shannon]

Wait, is she accusing the pinata of wearing blackface?

[Zach Amico]

Yes.

[Tim McLaughlin]

No, she's complaining. She's complaining about other sketches that went up. There was one where black eye was scalped and then one with someone who was in blackface. So she's complaining about stuff throughout the whole show.

[Bob]

She was waiting for a time to make a stand.

[Sydney Gantt]

And they're laughing at all of these, like, hella racist jokes. You brought up fried chicken and they were laughing, eating that shit up. The lemon pepper wing thing, it's like, I understand. When black people make those jokes around black people or when black people make those jokes to a wide audience. You're just making fun of yourselves.

[Jorge]

I can understand.

[Zach Amico]

Yes.

[Jorge]

I gotta ask. I bought the tickets and everyone in this room bought the tickets. Half of us came from another juneteenth show where the audience of racial. Whatever breakdown it was split. It was different, but we're still making the same jokes and the same type of intensity.

[Shannon]

This guy's in a tough position.

[Bob]

He's handling it well.

[Shannon]

He is handling it well.

[Zach Amico]

This guy's trying.

[Shannon]

Yeah, listen, I think he's.

[Zach Amico]

This is the woke version of shocking and jiving.

[Shannon]

It is, right?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

And I think he's doing.

[Zach Amico]

This is the woke. This is the progressive black Guy version of having a Weezer. So society that we does obsess. Ya. I hopes we can do our comedies for you some more.

[Shannon]

I just. I feel bad for him because I know that when he left his house, he wasn't planning on having this conversation. But the fact that he has to have it in a tank top is hilarious.

[Bob]

Yes, he would have dressed nicer if he had known.

[Shannon]

That's not bring people together attire.

[Zach Amico]

No, it is not.

[Shannon]

You know what I mean?

[Zach Amico]

Ironically, it's barbecue attire.

[Shannon]

It is barbecue attire.

[Bob]

Pick up basketball.

[Zach Amico]

All right, Keep it going.

[Jorge]

Streaming numbers to see if there are more black folks tuning in. Streaming certainly can do that. I'm not trying to belittle who we see on this stage, but this is. This is also why we do improv and try to bring joy through tragedy. Today just happens to be Juneteenth. Actually, a special day. Happens to be my anniversary. Happens to be a very special moment that all of us made time. I know Tristan got a kid at home that he had to. Every time I see him on the stage, you make the sacrifices to be here. And we're all trying to bring joy in this moment.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, they're. They.

[Jorge]

They blurred her out having a discussion about this.

[Zach Amico]

The.

[Jorge]

The weight underneath.

[Shannon]

And they blurred out most of the white audience, too.

[Zach Amico]

So it's used to be.

[Jorge]

Just in due respect to the time, I would. I would appreciate if you can enjoy it if something upsets you, you can. You can head out and refunded the money. But we fully want to say, as performers, as writers, people who have made time to be here, as audience members who have made time to be here, we want to respect everybody in the audience. We can hear you. We hear you. So you're welcome to.

[Zach Amico]

How bad was this guy's first day of basketball or football that he wound up on this stage? How uncoordinated. How much of a disappointment was when they went, oh, look at the size of this one. How uncoordinated must he be that he wound up in short, short sets at a tank top, explaining to white people why it's okay to make jokes about yourself?

[Shannon]

Yeah, that's because before every play, he went. And scene.

[Zach Amico]

Yep.

[Bob]

I love the full panel just staring at their shoes. It's very funny.

[Zach Amico]

Keep it going, Shannon, but please don't outburst.

[Jorge]

We can make time backstage if you want to talk to us, and I'm more than willing to invest some time if you want to understand what's happened.

[Sydney Gantt]

I think the way that you write things are very well done. I Don't think everyone on this stage wrote things with full respect for everyone.

[Micah Fox]

I want to chime in and say that when I write, I write what I think is funny.

[Shannon]

Thank you.

[Micah Fox]

And that's it. I don't write about what is in this audience. I'm not thinking about who the audience is. I'm writing from my perspective of what I think is funny.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Because when he said, we try to do everything with full respect of the audience, the other people are like, we.

[Bob]

Don'T fucking respect my dick.

[Shannon]

Yeah, fuck the audience.

[Zach Amico]

No, if they were funny, they'd be up here, you know?

[Micah Fox]

No, I think about. What do I think is funny? That is what I'm telling you because I'm writing from my experience.

[Sydney Gantt]

Just because you write about what you think is funny doesn't mean that it's okay to write it.

[Micah Fox]

You are not the person to judge whether or not it's okay for me to write my art. You are not the person to judge.

[Zach Amico]

This lady's had enough. I actually got to say, this girl is the first one beast to be like, shut up, bitch.

[Shannon]

They're having a. They're having, like a version of a black person off.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Do you know what I mean? That's why I'm thinking the other girl is going to look very similar to her.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Shannon]

And I think she's trying.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon, how do you feel about this as a black woman?

[Tim McLaughlin]

This is a. This is obnoxious. And you're going to hate her more when you see her.

[Zach Amico]

Want to bet?

[Tim McLaughlin]

Mexican.

[Bob]

I got Mexican at +800 shaden.

[Shannon]

If. If I'm not mistaken, I think that translates to. What you were saying is you're sick of these whiny.

[Tim McLaughlin]

I do watch a lot of body cam footage.

[Shannon]

Listen, not to derail this, but, Shannon, I swear to God, you've been cracking me up so much lately when I'm watching you on Hell yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Shaniqua Lee hire. I don't know if I could take any more of this. Let's see this lady try and bark her down a bit.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Micah Fox]

Okay. For me to write my art. You are not. You are not. You are not saying. But you're not. You're not the person to decide whether or not we. What I think is funny. You are not. I write what I think is funny. The audience can laugh or they cannot laugh.

[Sydney Gantt]

I said the hanging joke wasn't funny. I said no Apple Jack joke. I didn't say nothing about no Harriet.

[Micah Fox]

T. I'm not talk, but I'm talking.

[Shannon]

Who said anything about Har.

[Micah Fox]

I'm talking about an artist overall. Okay. I'm talking about as. I know you're not talking about me, but I'm talking about as an artist overall. We are all writing from our perspective about what we think is funny. The point of that joke was that there are white people who are so clueless that they would do that. That is the point of that joke. That's the point.

[Shannon]

The white people can't even clap.

[Bob]

Am I allowed to?

[Shannon]

I'm so clueless.

[Zach Amico]

I'm dumb as. But the.

[Sydney Gantt]

The imagery is hurtful. It's like, what is the point? Why is it more important to make that point than it is to not hurt black people?

[Micah Fox]

Because, see, I'm not hurt. So that's your opinion.

[Sydney Gantt]

A white person holding up a black person hanging is very hurtful. And if no one else thinks that, I want someone to stand up and say they think that's hurtful too. And if you don't think that, that's fine. You think that. Thank you.

[Zach Amico]

No, I just want to ask you.

[Shannon]

If you don't see that picture, you.

[Jorge]

Must forget about what happened.

[James Moss]

Right?

[Sydney Gantt]

No, that's not what I'm saying. But I absolutely believe we should have.

[Bob]

In history books.

[James Moss]

Yes.

[Sydney Gantt]

I believe we should have feature, but we should not have people reenacting it on stage.

[Jorge]

How people see the subject is up to them.

[Zach Amico]

You can't control it. Whatever.

[Sydney Gantt]

Whatever.

[Shannon]

Don't. Don't. What she say? Corny ass people.

[Micah Fox]

You're not.

[James Moss]

We are not emotionally attached to it because.

[Zach Amico]

Get the out.

[Shannon]

Yes. You clearly don't want to be there. Just leave. Well, actually, she's getting more attention here than she would be anywhere.

[Zach Amico]

That's what it is.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

That's the other thing with these. These people. These women that need to. I'm trying not to say cunt. These women that need this attention.

[Shannon]

Shannon calls them nigga bitches, but.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Shannon's allowed to.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

It's. They're mad that everyone's looking away from them.

[Bob]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

Have you ever seen a hot girl flip out of a comedy show? It's because she had a meter.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Of how long can I sit here before someone acknowledges me?

[Bob]

Yeah, it's been 24 minutes.

[Zach Amico]

It's been.

[Bob]

No one stroked my hair.

[Zach Amico]

No one's told me I'm pretty. No one's fake laughed some fucking horseshit that tumbled out of my fucking coat mouth.

[Shannon]

Yeah. No one looked at me and went, okay.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. And that's what this. This bitch is mad that people are laughing and having a good time, and they're not focused on her.

[Shannon]

So you think she's hot?

[Zach Amico]

I don't care if she's hot. It's ego. It's an ego. It's somebody that needs to be the center of attention. And she's. She's not mad about this.

[Shannon]

No.

[Zach Amico]

There's no way on God's green earth she's really this offended. But now she's getting attention, and she's got to triple down on it.

[Shannon]

Yeah, she barely knows what she's.

[Zach Amico]

She's got a KFC double down.

[Bob]

I like the idea of her, like, laying in bed that night just being like, pinata was kind of funny.

[Zach Amico]

All right, Chad, does anything else happen?

[Tim McLaughlin]

No, that's pretty much the end of it.

[Zach Amico]

All right, great.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Let's.

[Zach Amico]

Let's see this fucking awful woman.

[James Moss]

Oh, whoa.

[Shannon]

I'm glad I switched.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, boy.

[Shannon]

Switched.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, boy. All right, hold on.

[Bob]

I don't know if I want to watch it. Cut it.

[Zach Amico]

He doesn't mean the video. Go ahead.

[Shannon]

Can I just also say this really quickly? I mean, in her defense, she does have slave face.

[Zach Amico]

This lady looks like she got out of a time machine and was put.

[Shannon]

Dude, that's young Aunt Jemima.

[Zach Amico]

That's East Jemima.

[Shannon]

In these. J.

[Zach Amico]

Cousin J.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

I just left a show at UCB called Gender Fly Juneteenth, and that's exactly what they did. They literally had a white woman with a pinata. There was a black man hanging from the pinata. And then I. I said, oh, that is. Is racist. And then this mixed girl came up to me and said, you need to leave. And I said, no, I'm not leaving. She's like, you cannot have all of these outbursts. How is it okay for a white man to be wearing a full brown costume with a Jamaican man scout in his hand making a joke about how they scalped the Synonon Man?

[Bob]

They have a cinnamon stick. He's Jamaican, and he's selling Apple Jacks. How is this okay? There's an angry white apple, and they're being mean to the cinnamon stick.

[Shannon]

I love that. Her traumatic retelling of this is hilarious.

[Bob]

It's very good.

[Shannon]

She's like, let's go. Let's go to UCB right now.

[Zach Amico]

There's a vampire who loves chocolate, and he's friends with a pink Frankenstein.

[Shannon]

Oh, my God.

[Zach Amico]

And then there's three elves that make you listen to the bull.

[Bob]

Outraged over cereal is so good.

[Zach Amico]

And then he got shot by the.

[Shannon]

Cookie Crisp police officer. And then the tiger said, they're Great. But I only think they're ok. Oh, please.

[Zach Amico]

Keep it going.

[Sydney Gantt]

To learn how to understand the difference between parody, punching down and punching up. Because these people don't understand that. They're joking about my trauma, my people's trauma, and they think it's funny as hell.

[Zach Amico]

Who in your family got lynched?

[Shannon]

None.

[Zach Amico]

Go ahead.

[Shannon]

What is he wearing on her head? Shannon, can you. What is that, a bonnet?

[Tim McLaughlin]

No, I think it's just a headband.

[Shannon]

Okay. Because it looks like a bonnet. If she made it into a visor.

[Zach Amico]

It looks like big girl underpants.

[Shannon]

It does.

[Zach Amico]

That she turned into headwear.

[Shannon]

They're doing that now, are they? The ladies are taking off their. Like, I mean, at least on my algorithm.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Shannon]

They're taking off their underwear and then, like, using it to tie their hair back. Shannon, is that right?

[Tim McLaughlin]

This. I don't. That's not in my algorithm.

[Zach Amico]

Well, white people don't have algorithm.

[Tim McLaughlin]

It looks just like a giant scrunchie.

[Shannon]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

That's how I would describe this woman. What a fucking. What an ugly woman.

[Shannon]

She is an ugly woman. But can she. She is. She's very unattractive.

[Zach Amico]

She looks like they just let her out of the hot box.

[Shannon]

Her mustache is unsettling.

[Zach Amico]

That's it.

[Shannon]

But she has big, beautiful anime eyes. I like her eyes.

[Bob]

Nice peepers. Yeah.

[Shannon]

Yeah. She has some peepers on.

[Bob]

I'm leaving.

[Sydney Gantt]

The feelings that people have and it's not. Okay.

[Zach Amico]

Pause. How much you know. Bet this lady considers herself genderqueer.

[Shannon]

Well, I think that flust. That mustache is fluid.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bob]

It's a pretty safe bet, I think.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Her gender fluid is Kool Aid.

[Shannon]

Gender fluid.

[Zach Amico]

Her gender fluid is barbecue sauce. Oh, man. I bet. I bet she wouldn't like us joking about this. No, I bet you if she's crying now.

[Shannon]

If you're implying that her gender fluid is purple. Drake. No, I'm not gonna like that. Zach.

[Zach Amico]

What'S that purple stuff? Keep it going.

[Sydney Gantt]

Literally were hanged from trees by these people during this Tuskegee experiment. They literally just toy people's scalps. They let black.

[Shannon]

He gave them dandruff. He gave black people dandruff.

[Bob]

There was no head and shoulders. They couldn't exfoliate syphilis.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, look at this cocoa butterface.

[Sydney Gantt]

Light to racism. If you want to bring light to racism, do it respectfully.

[Bob]

No, this is on the train also.

[Sydney Gantt]

And definitely don't do it on Juneteenth.

[Zach Amico]

No, the funny thing is she's mad about stereotypes. She's a black woman. Screaming on the train.

[Shannon]

Oh, yes.

[Zach Amico]

I gotta tell you guys, we got 40 minutes out of that. Hell yeah, I'm feeling good. I want to move on.

[Shannon]

Let's go.

[Zach Amico]

That was.

[Shannon]

That was. That was World War Fun style, by the way.

[Zach Amico]

That was so much fun. Thank you for those of you who enjoyed that in the chat. Thank you for those of you that thought that was lame. Hey, bubba, we're just having fun here. I thought. I thought we got a lot of laughs out of it.

I'm near and dear to my heart, and I would say this, this would be a pivot, but we're staying in the same subject.

[Shannon]

Okay?

[Zach Amico]

13 must know rules before stepping foot inside Waffle House. Oh, that's a good one, Shannon. Tell us about it.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Number one, to get what you want, learn the lingo so it gives an example. The best known Waffle House terms refer to how you order your hash browns.

[Zach Amico]

Smothered, covered and chunked.

[Bob]

Yeah, yeah, they always describe them like it's murder victims. Yep, we found them covered and chunked in dice.

[Zach Amico]

Go ahead, Shannon.

[Bob]

Sounds good.

[Tim McLaughlin]

So smothered is sauteed onions Covered is American cheese. Chunked is diced ham. Diced is diced tomatoes. Peppered is jalapeno peppers. Capped is with grilled mushrooms. Topped is smothered in Waffle House's unique birch chili. Country is smothered in sausage. Gravy scattered is sped on the grill. Spread on the grill while cooking to make them extra crispy.

[Zach Amico]

All right, I'm all for it. I gotta say, the Southern gravy's the move for me.

[Bob]

Yeah, I like it. Let me get a. Let me get one waffle and one hash browns. Lynched. Could you spray them with a fire hose for me? Thanks, boss.

[Zach Amico]

Let me get a gentrified milkshake.

[Shannon]

No, I'm just gonna take a smother. Covered. No cap.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Number two, it says if a Waffle House is closed, get out of the area. Apparently, FEMA has what it calls a Waffle House index to measure how bad a disaster is. So if the local Waffle House is still serving a full menu, the index is green. If it's a limited menu, it's yellow. If it's red, it means like, get away from there because things are going down.

[Shannon]

Yeah, that's a post apocalyptic area.

[Zach Amico]

So the actually, it's Waffle House has a mobile unit with generators that they send to disaster areas so that emergency workers have somewhere to get hot food.

[Shannon]

Wow.

[Zach Amico]

So if there is no Waffle House, it means it is uninhabitable. And then. Yeah, if they are serving, like, if they have only a few things, I think that's the red. And that means, like, don't go.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And then beyond that. Yeah, but it's literally like how FEMA does emergency. Like how to tell how bad an area is, is if Waffle House can stay open in it.

[Shannon]

Yeah, it's where they can. The workers can get hot food and settle beef with their other coworkers. Yes.

[Zach Amico]

Keep it going, Shannon.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Number three, don't mess with the Waffle House staff.

[Zach Amico]

I think we know that one.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Number four, don't question the plating system. So apparently they have what's called the Magic Marker system, where as soon as the order is placed, they put a condiment packet on the plate based on what the order is. So, for example, they'll put a packet of ketchup or jelly to indicate what's needed. So if a jelly packet is placed on the bottom of the plate, that means the customer wants two scrambled eggs with white toast and grits. But if they want raisin toast, the jelly packet is swapped for an apple butter packet. So on and so forth. Okay, so they have, like a whole.

[Zach Amico]

That's a lot of.

[Shannon]

Remember, teach these fuckers to read. This is a complicated.

[Zach Amico]

Print out a ticket. God damn.

[Bob]

The fucking chef's back there counting cards. They have Rain man at the Waffle House.

[Shannon]

Yeah. You don't need a mnemonic device to know what to put on a plate.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Every single plate's just hot sauce.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Keep it going.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Number five. When in doubt, get the All Star special.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Tim McLaughlin]

And so that offers just about everything on the breakfast menu, which is two eggs, toast, jelly, a waffle, your choice of grits. Grits, hash browns, or diced tomatoes. And then your choice of three slices of bacon, Jimmy Dean sausage, or hickory smoked ham.

[Zach Amico]

Sounds great.

[Tim McLaughlin]

And it's also 1420 calories.

[Zach Amico]

Hell, yeah. If you're at Waffle House, it is to start your day poorly or end your night poorly. If you're at Waffle House at regular dinner time, you fucked up.

[Bob]

Yeah. It's crazy.

[Shannon]

Yeah. My favorite Waffle House experience was watching a guy. You know those claw games, okay. He spent his whole entire night trying to win a laminated $1 bill. And by the point before my table got up and left, like, he was up to $7.

[Zach Amico]

Nice.

[Shannon]

He had spent $7 trying to win away. And when he was first doing it, everybody were all cheering for him. And by, like, a $25, the whole restaurant checked out on him.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

By the way, that sounds like a horrible thing to try and pick up with a claw. A slippery laminated $1 bill.

[Shannon]

Dude, it was. It was like every. Everybody that came tried it. And then he dedicated himself to it. Got the whole restaurant hyped up for him. Yeah, dude, we were. So he. At one point, once he exhausted borrowing quarters from all of his table, he started going to other people in the restaurant who he thought still supported his calls. Yeah, dude, it was.

[Zach Amico]

That's how. That's the most Waffle House story.

[Shannon]

It was crazy.

[Bob]

Yeah, I see you enjoying those grits, but you mind if I get some change off your brother?

[Zach Amico]

Mine, I've told before, I'll keep it quick. I was at Waffle House on a wrestling show, and the chef walks from behind the counter to my table with his hand behind his back, and he goes, can I ask you a question? And we're like, oh, yeah, go ahead. He goes, ain't this the biggest onion you ever seen in your life? He took out a giant onion for. It was the biggest onion I had ever seen in my life. It really was. And he goes. I go, yeah, that is a big onion.

[Shannon]

Actually, that's a coconut.

[Bob]

Yeah. Sir, that's a tangerine.

[Zach Amico]

It was. It was a normal. But it would say he stopped cooking. Look at this onion.

[Shannon]

Actually, that's a basketball.

[Zach Amico]

That's a volleyball, sir. Keep it going, Shannon.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Number six. The most dangerous times to go are after 2:00am when the bars close.

[Zach Amico]

Okay. Of course.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Seven, don't drink inside the Waffle House. They're a very strict rule. No prescription, no non prescription drugs and they do not allow alcohol.

[Zach Amico]

Great.

[Tim McLaughlin]

You have to listen to the jukebox. They have like their own songs with titles like There Are Raisins in My Toast, Grill Operator and Make Mine With Cheese.

[Zach Amico]

Great.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Number nine, if you're alone, don't take a booth.

[Zach Amico]

Sure can't anyway. Not an option.

[Bob]

Done and done.

[Tim McLaughlin]

To get free hash browns, join the regulars Club.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Tim McLaughlin]

11. While you can get secret menu items, avoid ordering anything you saw on Tick Tock. I guess it's a Tick Tock trend to make crazy, elaborate, annoying things.

[Zach Amico]

I think people were asking for a while for like waffle sandwiches, which sounds great.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

But yeah. Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Number 12, if you have lifestyle or food allergies, know what to order. So they actually can make some. Like they can do gluten free kinda or vegetarian kinda. But there's still gonna be cross contamination.

[Shannon]

Yeah. What's a lifestyle allergy?

[Zach Amico]

I think it means like if you're vegetarian.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Lifestyle or food allergies.

[Bob]

Oh, I'm allergic to hiking.

[Zach Amico]

Days. Make me sneeze.

[Tim McLaughlin]

If you want a classic Waffle House dish, order the pecan waffles.

[Bob]

Yep.

[Tim McLaughlin]

And then. Oh, that's it.

[Zach Amico]

That's the Bourdain special. Yeah, the pecan. What is your. What's your Waffle House? Go to my. I do. If they have biscuits and gravy. Yeah, that's my move. Biscuits and gravy and chicken fried steak.

[Shannon]

Yeah. I'm an omelette with every. Every meat you have in the building.

[Zach Amico]

Yep.

[Bob]

Pause.

[Zach Amico]

Great.

[Shannon]

Yeah. No, dude, Unpause. Slap that dick on that fast forward. Yep.

[Zach Amico]

I'm into it. All right. Next thing. I don't know if this is real and God, I want it to be so bad. This is a post on Reddit. Tampa. Shannon, will you just read it to us?

[Tim McLaughlin]

Yes. The question is, does Ric Flair keep coming to your restaurant and shitting himself? The answer is. The answer is, man has shit himself like six times this year, drunk as fuck, at bars and other restaurants. He gets thrown out of Water street places all the time. Anyone in the service industry having to deal with this shit, too. So. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So you're saying he said. You say he goes to rest bars and then he actually takes a poo that you guys thought he shit the bed on Kill Tony. Yes. So a bunch of people have commented.

[Shannon]

Like your enemy now.

[Zach Amico]

I would never say that. Have I signed a bunch of magazines of Ric Flair?

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Yes.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Okay.

[Zach Amico]

Do people woo at me still? Yes.

[Shannon]

That's crazy.

[Bob]

It's the funniest nemesis to have.

[Shannon]

Dude, I forgot all about that. And now that I'm being reminded of it, I'm being reminded of how much I love that you're linked to him this way.

[Zach Amico]

Yes.

[Shannon]

That's beautiful.

[Zach Amico]

So I have heard that he gets. I don't know if you guys remember, there was a video a few or maybe a year ago now of him getting kicked out of a pizza place.

[Bob]

Mm.

[Zach Amico]

It was a bar slash pizza place. I actually talked to somebody who knew that. Pizza place.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

It's like somewhere between a Chuck E. Cheese and a Dave and Buster's.

[Shannon]

Do you have an in at every pizza place?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I got a guy. No, I knew somebody from the area.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And they said basically it's like a Dave and it's like a family. Like, there's arcade games, right.

[Bob]

Pinball.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, Shit like that. And that. They were there for, like, a college graduation and he was getting kicked out. He said, forgetting for that, he was. They wouldn't let him use the bathroom.

[Tim McLaughlin]

I have the video if you want to see.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Which is why he's himself.

[James Moss]

Well, I didn't do it wrong. Except spend money and put this place over and bring my family and friends here. That is bad for you.

[Jorge]

Why would I be that?

[James Moss]

Well, watch social media tomorrow.

[Zach Amico]

Pause. This is like 3pm this is broad daylight. Yeah.

[Bob]

They opened an hour and a half ago.

[Zach Amico]

And so what I had heard was that he was asked to leave because he was spending a lot of time in the bathroom stall between beverages.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Read of that as you will.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

You think it's. You think it's cocaine?

[Zach Amico]

I do.

[Bob]

I think that could. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I believe it or not, through sources.

[Bob]

Coming out of the bathroom, he's like, I want to play skeeball.

[Zach Amico]

Skeeball. I'm the best.

[Shannon]

Could have been praying.

[Zach Amico]

Sure he could have.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

But, yeah, he. So, dude, this was like. It was like a graduation party. And he tried to tip the waitress a grand, but he was, like, too drunk to fill out the fucking tip thing. Like, watch. He sounds drunk out of his Gore.

[Shannon]

He's too drunk to verbalize the do you know who I am? Defense.

[Zach Amico]

Well, so what happened was he went and tweeted it. Are all his tweets, every single word, capitalized? Yes. So he put a tweet out about how he was unfairly removed. And don't patronize this place so that this place just put this video out. Go ahead.

[Bob]

They dropped the this year.

[James Moss]

While you better.

[Zach Amico]

What's your name?

[James Moss]

Nicholas. What? Nicholas don't ever talk.

[Shannon]

Essentially.

[James Moss]

You don't have to do this to me. If you believe me. In my family, I'm not.

[Zach Amico]

The best is. I can't go for that in the background, and I can't go for that.

[Bob]

It's gonna be me and you one on one in the cage. I got you for three minutes.

[Shannon]

His shirt matches the soundtrack.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, no, that's Ric Flair's sky blue suit that he wears to everything.

[Shannon]

Gotcha.

[Zach Amico]

I've seen he. He's worn that to, like, eight things on tv. Yeah, that's his suit.

[Bob]

He's got the sky brown pants.

[James Moss]

I walked into a bathroom. You're a Peter Py. What world do you live in?

[Zach Amico]

Okay, that's what I'm talking about.

[James Moss]

How did I cost him? Did I touch him?

[Zach Amico]

Trust him?

[Jorge]

You said cuss word.

[James Moss]

I never said cuss word. You know. Is that his word against yours? I didn't say one cuss word.

[Jorge]

Okay.

[Tim McLaughlin]

All right. There's like two minutes left. You. I'm going to skip ahead a little or just keep going. I'll just skip to here.

[James Moss]

Out here, and talk to me like a man. I'm not going to do that because I'm on the. You are the pushing block.

[Zach Amico]

I like that. The guy's like, I'll fight you.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Oh, I wish. I wish he did.

[Bob]

Buddy, I've seen you. I've been studying tape.

[Zach Amico]

I'll wait for him to climb the top rope. And as you go, he 1001 under the balls. One like this, and he flat backs every time. I've never seen him in it. And if he puts me in the figure four, you turn the momentum over, you turn over on your belly. That reverses the pressure. I'm ready for you, by the way. That is a win. Win.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Because either you fight Ric Flair and you get to beat up an old man for free, or if he fucks you up, you sue the fuck out of him.

[Bob]

Oh, for sure.

[Zach Amico]

And the building.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And aew, whatever company he works for right now. Yeah, he works for AEW right now. Tony Khan owns The fucking Jaguars. I'm gonna own the Jaguars. Please hit me.

[Bob]

Yeah, please. I'm gonna be fucking playing golden tea for free for life.

[Zach Amico]

Go ahead.

[Bob]

He's asking for a coke straw.

[Zach Amico]

All right. What a fucking. What a sad old twat.

[Bob]

We'll be praying for him. Hope he figures it out.

[Zach Amico]

What a jerk off. All right, Liver King. Busted for terroristic threat after calling out Joe Rogan.

[Shannon]

Jesus Christ.

[Bob]

Terroristic threat? Like what? He said he was going to bomb the fucking.

[Zach Amico]

Let's find out.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Jen, I just want to say before I play it. Sorry, I just. I have to just refresh real quick. But it's not. We don't know what he was arrested for, but they're saying that it was after he called out Joe Rogan in the video. I'm about to show you that he got arrested.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[James Moss]

I'm calling you out. My name is Liberty.

[Zach Amico]

Man to man. I'm picking a fight with you. Yeah. I have zero training in Jiu J.

[James Moss]

You're a black belt.

[Zach Amico]

You should dismantle me. But I'm thinking of fighting with you. He doesn't look well.

[Shannon]

No, whatever.

[James Moss]

You want me to wait, I'll wait.

[Zach Amico]

I wait. 190.

[Bob]

Looks like he's pregnant with wolves.

[James Moss]

Whenever you're ready. Whenever you're ready to go.

[Shannon]

Oh, did he just flick his wolf hair back like a blanket long?

[Bob]

Yeah, his.

[Zach Amico]

What's his. Listen, I understand. I am not a man of a midsection myself. What's up with the belly button?

[Bob]

Yeah, the belly button is odd. It looks like the worm.

[Zach Amico]

Is that like a hernia?

[Shannon]

It's a hernia. It's a. It's a. It's a permanent hernia that he got from permia. Yeah, he's got a perm.

[Zach Amico]

He's got a perm.

[Shannon]

He's got a perm. That's what that. That's what that wolf hair is.

[Bob]

Yeah. Ned Stark's not doing good these days.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Value.

[Zach Amico]

It's a principle.

[James Moss]

You can't pick a fight with a real team and then expect there not.

[Zach Amico]

To be an actual fight.

[James Moss]

Bro.

[Zach Amico]

That'S roid rage. Right.

[Bob]

Is his hip vibrating.

[Zach Amico]

His come gutters?

[Shannon]

Yeah. I think he's just constantly in a state of heart attack. Yeah, Every time he pauses, he's coming back to life.

[Zach Amico]

Take the muscular version of me.

[Shannon]

Guys have the same sleep apnea machine.

[Zach Amico]

Now his is a wolf.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

See how little amount of money a million dollars is the Joe Ryan. That's like. That's like betting him a sandwich.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Yeah. He's not even Going to get out of his cold plunge for that.

[Bob]

Whoa.

[Zach Amico]

He looks like shit.

[Bob]

They took his wolf. Come on.

[Zach Amico]

They took his wolf.

[Bob]

You know when you get out of prison and they like give you your shit back?

[Zach Amico]

Oh, they got a bag with a wolf in it. A wolf and like a club and like a pan flute.

[Shannon]

Yeah, like a native American flute.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bob]

Here's your ocarina, your golden assault rifle.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So Shannon, is there footage of him being arrested?

[Tim McLaughlin]

Yeah, it's like. I'll show it to you. It's like not very eventful, but.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, but they don't know what he's being arrested for officially.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Not yet. No. I don't see that yet.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, he's a little fella.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Bob]

Wow.

[Zach Amico]

It'll be a fair fight then.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Two orcs versus each other.

[Bob]

So, I mean, he just threatened to fist fight him, but he was holding guns, I guess.

[Zach Amico]

I don't know.

[Tim McLaughlin]

It also said that he had just arrived in Austin when they arrested him.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah. So he was trying to fucking. It was probably stalking.

[Shannon]

He tried to pull up.

[Bob]

Yeah, he just got a promo now.

[Zach Amico]

I think he probably had guns in the car or something.

[Bob]

Isn't that the point? And going to Texas.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, you know what, you're right. That was a silly thing for me to say.

[Tim McLaughlin]

And it does say. I guess this is. I don't know that this is confirmed, but it says a charge of making a terroristic threat.

[Zach Amico]

He might have posted some other shit.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Yeah, maybe because he didn't actually threaten him. He just challenged him to a fight. I don't know that that's illegal.

[Zach Amico]

I don't know, dude. Fucking. I don't want to talk shit on Rogan. So those kicks. He thought those videos of him throwing kicks. I don't know, man. I think he's going to take. And especially he's going to kick him right in the fucking. Right in the. Right in the fucking meat eating belly.

[Shannon]

Right in the crown.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. He's going to kill him. Fuck him. Yeah.

[Bob]

We found you guilty. Two counts of howling at the moon.

[Zach Amico]

What a silly shithead. All right, one or two more things before we get out of here. Hey, let's keep the old wrestler talk going. Hulk Hogan to open $7 million bar opposite Madison Square Garden. That's not going to fail terribly.

[Bob]

It's the opposite of Madison Square Garden.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Bob]

What is that?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's. I guess it's going to be across the street.

[Bob]

Beautiful.

[Shannon]

Yeah, that was geographically opposite.

[Bob]

Yes, I see.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon, you got any info on Jason, if you will?

[Tim McLaughlin]

Yeah, yeah. So this is. This is the spot. And it's not like really. It's not really Hulk Hogan opening it. It's this guy who already owns a place. His name is Rich Rosen. He's like a nightclub owner. And so he actually like went to an autograph signing event of Hulk Hogan's and approached him and was like, this is my place. Like, I think we should partner on it together. He's not officially a partner, but there's some like licensing deal or something they're doing together. And apparently he's supposed to like, he's going to be there a lot and it's going to. It's going to.

[Zach Amico]

He does hang out at his beach shop quite a bit.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Yeah, it's going to have just like his memorabilia, pictures of him everywhere, yada yada.

[Zach Amico]

I can't wait for that.

[Bob]

Yeah, let's go check it out.

[Zach Amico]

I will say one of my favorite. Okay. I used to. But there was WWF New York in Times Square.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

The WWF restaurant. That was terrible. One. Cool. So they had some memorabilia and one cool thing that I loved when I was little and I really think as an adult, I still think this is cool. They had a concrete pressing of Andre the Giant's hand that you could put your hand in.

[Bob]

Yeah, it's like the Shaq basketball.

[Zach Amico]

That's exact. Dude, I thought it was so cool.

[Bob]

That is tight.

[Zach Amico]

I really got it. I'm not going to not go to this.

[Bob]

Yeah, that's fine. On your birthday, they'll throw you through a table.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, dude, I would love it. And Hulk, I'm going to put his fucking name on anything. I mean. Yeah, there's been Pasta Mania. I'm trying to think of the bear. He claims that he was supposed to have the George Foreman Grill, but that he missed the phone call. He's also claimed he was supposed to play bass in Metallica. He's also claimed that he's wrestled over 400 days a year because he was going back and forth from Japan that he made extra days so sick. And then my favorite is that after WrestleMania 3, I think he partied with Elvis. Elvis died seven years before that.

[Bob]

It was just another dancing white guy.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, the lies.

[Tim McLaughlin]

I have another lie.

[Shannon]

Everybody with rhythm is Elvis.

[Tim McLaughlin]

It says he said that he wrestled 400 days in one year and says since he traveled so much between Japan and since he traveled so much between Japan and usa, the time difference added. Adding it up made it impossible.

[Zach Amico]

So that thing I just said.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was Reading it as you were.

[Shannon]

But how do you get 35?

[Zach Amico]

Don't be sorry. That's funny.

[Tim McLaughlin]

It says now. I don't know if I'm repeating other ones.

[Shannon]

No, Shannon, you're still doing high level producer.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's fine.

[Tim McLaughlin]

It says the Wrestler. Director Darren Aronofsky offered the lead role multiple times, but Hogan said he turned it down as he didn't deserve it.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, complete lie.

[Shannon]

Wait, for what movie?

[Zach Amico]

The Wrestler.

[Tim McLaughlin]

He was scouted. He said he was scouted out of high school by the Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds. Claims he fought Pride fighters in the 70s.

[Zach Amico]

Mm.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Said he's the first one to slam Andre the giant at Mania 3.

[Zach Amico]

And so many people.

[Shannon]

Slam was not. Dude, that bothered me. So. Even when I was a kid, I. I knew that as a fucking kid, and I felt like I had nobody to speak to about it.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, that. That's. That's. That's. But that's also WWE rewriting history. Yeah, but Kamala slammed him. Harley slammed him. Jake slammed him.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I think I remember the Kamala slam. Yeah, that's the one that was like, no, the fuck you didn't.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, well, of course it was your uncle.

[Shannon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, like, when it happened, like, the moment it happened, the announcers were already like, that's the first time, you know.

[Zach Amico]

He also claimed he broke his back when he did it. The funniest is if you ever watch Undertaker tell. So when Undertaker got the belt, he tombstoned Hogan on a chair. It was Tuesday in Texas, I want to think it was called. And he was like, he's gonna pretend that I heard him. So he literally. He gives him the tombstone, the. The upside down pile driver. And Hulk Hogan goes, oh, he dropped me on my head. Paramedic stretchered out, whole thing.

[Shannon]

Whoa.

[Zach Amico]

They don't see that. And Undertaker's like, I'm getting fired. I'm fine. Just killed the. Yeah, I think he said the goose with the golden egg, you know, or the Golden Child. Do they see the tape? Hogan's like, eight inches above the ground when they hit. It's such a lie. And then after that, Undertaker will very subtly dig at Hogan about it. Yeah, so, like, he'll, like what he's like, doing shoots. Like, he'll be talking to Kane and Big. You caught me there, brother. Every time they shit. Yeah, everybody shits on him.

[Bob]

Well, it's funny to lie about something that's, like, on national television.

[Shannon]

Yeah. I was going to say, you think maybe he had the shit? Like, you think he had to get out of the ring right away. Why do you think he did that?

[Zach Amico]

Because he want he didn't like the fact that he belt off him. He pretended a bunch of people heard him. He was there. He's a Paul so he would politic his way out of shit.

[Shannon]

He was like that little kid that calls Shields when nobody discussed shields.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, 100%. Shannon, is there any more great Hogan lives before we get out of here?

[Tim McLaughlin]

There are so many.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Look how giddy she is.

[Zach Amico]

There's a whole list of this.

[Tim McLaughlin]

It's a lot part Again, sorry if I'm repeating any partied with John Belushi after Mania 2 in 86 and John Belushi passed away in 82. This one it says their opinion of the worst one claims he was touched by a Make a witch kid. Wish kid so much he personally invited the kid to see him at Summerslam92. When he went out, the seat was empty and Hogan knew he was gone. Touched by the Hulkster. He recorded a song about him including the line I guess there will be an empty seat when I wrestle at Wembley. Problem? He wasn't on that card and never wrestled in Wembley till later. For WCW he's not allowed 300 meters of a kid. The next one claims Mike Tyson was too scared to work with him in WCW and had to cancel a program with him in WWF when Tyson lost a boxing match. He was supposed to be part of this young brand new company back in the day when it was launched called ufc. The Elvis one says Harley Race came to the arena with a gun and set ring. Set the ring on fire and asked Hogan for a job which I just want to fucking see now. Lol. He said I'm not a steroid abuser. I don't use steroids. Claims to have discovered Kevin Owens.

[Zach Amico]

Yep.

[Tim McLaughlin]

And last but not least, it's probably the one thing that isn't a lie. But I need to remind you all this was set on in a public trial. In a public court session in response to asking about Hogan's quotes on the size of his dick. Hulk Hogan has.

[Zach Amico]

Oh yeah, Hulk Hogan has a 10 inch penis. Not Terry Bolayer.

[Tim McLaughlin]

Yes, that's correct.

[Zach Amico]

And when Hulk Hogan went to the trial he they had to have a specific thing to whether or not he was allowed to wear a durag in.

[Bob]

Court or is he on trial for.

[Zach Amico]

So he sued Gawker for releasing his sex tape.

[Shannon]

Okay, wait, so he has. Wait. Multiple penisality disorder.

[Zach Amico]

Hulk hogan has a 10 inch penis? Terry Bolaya does not.

[Shannon]

What is Terry Belaya working with?

[Zach Amico]

I don't know, but apparently they're very different.

[Shannon]

Good God.

[Bob]

Yeah. He's got a Harvey Dent penis.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Bob]

It's crazy.

[Zach Amico]

Which, by the way, if you ever watch the whole. The whole documentary on that lawsuit, what happened was Hogan was broke. The wife was going to take everything. He was selling his copyrights to Eric Bischoff so that the wife wouldn't take those in. The divorce sex tape comes out. Bubba the Love Sponge was a radio dj. He's letting Hogan fuck his wife. Supposedly all those guys were wife trading at the time. Bischoff, ddp, blah, blah, blah, blah. Gawker puts out the tape. Hogan can't afford to sue Gawker. However, a benefactor pays for everything, right? Puts Gawker out of business. Bankrupt. Come to find out, it is very famous businessman Peter Thiel, who Gawker had outed as being gay when he did not want people to know he was gay. His revenge was to fund the Hulk Hogan lawsuit. So now when Hogan speaks at Trump rallies, guess who one of Trump's number one donators is? Peter Thiel. That is because Peter Thiel now owns Hulk Hogan and rents him out.

[Bob]

That's crazy.

[Shannon]

Peter Thiel is Terry's penis.

[Zach Amico]

Yes, of course. But anyway. Yes, that is. That is in a nutshell how you get that whole Trump the Hogan thing is that Peter Thiel own basically owns Hulk Hogan.

[Bob]

[Zach Amico]

Going to replace Cliff Burton, so. Not that he auditioned for Metallica. Yeah, that when Metallica was already big, they went, you know who should play bass for us? Hulk Hogan.

[Bob]
