Introduction of Guests

The episode kicks off with hosts Luis J. Gomez and Zach Amico introducing their special guests, Josh Barnett and Maddy Smith. Josh Barnett, renowned as the "Baby Face Assassin" and the youngest UFC champion in history, brings his extensive experience in both MMA and professional wrestling. Maddy Smith, a prominent comedian from the Madhouse podcast, adds her unique comedic flair to the discussion.

Zach Amico [02:33]: "You might know him from his bloodsport promotion. I know him as the Baby Face Assassin, the youngest UFC champion in history."

Maddy Smith [02:14]: "How you guys doing?"

Bloodsport vs. Professional Wrestling vs. MMA

A significant portion of the conversation revolves around Bloodsport, a wrestling promotion co-hosted by Josh Barnett. The hosts delve into what sets Bloodsport apart from traditional professional wrestling and MMA.

Josh Barnett [03:48]: "The average length and girth of the Bloodsport wrestler is greater."

Luis explains that Bloodsport strips wrestling down to its rawest form, focusing less on costumes and dramatic storylines, and more on pure athletic competition where victory is achieved solely by knockout or submission.

Luis J. Gomez [03:53]: "Professional wrestling show. But basically the thing about Bloodsport is think about wrestling, but stripped to its raw sort of version."

Zach appreciates the brutal and authentic nature of Bloodsport, contrasting it with the evolving landscape of MMA, which he feels has become repetitive and overly commercialized.

Zach Amico [06:13]: "I'm an old school dork and once it became a cool kid thing, it just sort of turned me off kind."

Evolution of MMA and Fans’ Perspectives

The discussion shifts to the evolution of MMA, with the hosts and Josh sharing their perspectives on how the sport has changed over the years. They express nostalgia for earlier eras when fighters were driven purely by passion rather than the pursuit of fame and money.

Luis J. Gomez [08:57]: "It's the hardest hitting promotion in all of professional wrestling."

Zach Amico [07:09]: "I think there was always a weird, like, common thread there. So I think fighters and comedians have always gotten along for that reason."

They critique the current state of MMA, highlighting issues like the overabundance of fights, lack of compelling storylines, and the difficulty in keeping track of fighters with increasingly complex names and backgrounds.

Zach Amico [07:48]: "If I can't pronounce their names, as soon as I stop being able to pronounce like 80% of the names, like there's too many syllables."

Social Media and Its Impact

The conversation takes a turn towards social media, particularly focusing on the recent three-month ban on TikTok. The hosts discuss the implications of such bans on creators and influencers, emphasizing the importance of diversifying one's online presence to safeguard against platform dependencies.

Lewis J. Gomez [29:17]: "We're all up. Yeah, pretty much."

Zach Amico [32:05]: "I created an email list... that's specifically why I created an email list is because any of these other platforms can be taken away."

They critique the addictive nature of platforms like TikTok, labeling it as "poison for the brain" due to its design that encourages relentless user engagement.

Zach Amico [30:06]: "It is poison, but it is poison for the brain. The doom scrolling. You just keep on going."

Personal Anecdotes and Humor

Throughout the episode, the hosts and guests share a series of personal anecdotes and humorous stories, ranging from encounters with aggressive individuals to quirky personal habits. These segments showcase their chemistry and comedic timing, providing listeners with engaging and relatable content.

Lewis J. Gomez [18:11]: "Nah, never."

Zach Amico [19:02]: "They think you're a white nationalist."

These lighthearted exchanges often pivot to playful teasing and jokes about each other's lifestyles and experiences, enhancing the episode's entertaining vibe.

Discussion on Relationships and Personal Experiences

A notable segment involves discussions about relationships, particularly focusing on interactions with challenging partners. The hosts explore themes of anxiety, personal growth, and the complexities of dating, all infused with their characteristic humor.

Zach Amico [36:06]: "I have so much anxiety about crazy bitches."

Maddy Smith [37:34]: "I am like Lola Bunny."

They candidly talk about past relationships, the impact of dating "crazy" individuals, and the importance of self-awareness and setting boundaries in personal connections.

Closing Remarks and Plugs

As the episode nears its end, the hosts give a shout-out to each other's projects and upcoming events, promoting their tours and special appearances. They also engage in a final round of humorous banter, maintaining the episode's lively and irreverent tone until the very end.

Zach Amico [74:49]: "Maddie, one of the funniest comics out there."

Lewis J. Gomez [74:51]: "Much funnier than me."

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, you know, according to the chat, I got a good shot.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

It's the truth.

[Maddie Smith]

You do.

[Zach Amico]

Trust me. They're also calling me other words as well, so don't worry, I won't read them all.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Keep it buried.

[Zach Amico]

So listen, Josh, you had an event last night here in New York City, which is pretty cool. This isn't typically an interview show, but I did my research on this. I know Zach went. Zach was our field correspondent. He went out. He said he had a blast of a time. It's a. It's a very different sort of thing that you do with Bloodsport. Right. And we. We have some highlights of. Well, we can pull some of that up, but just talk to me, talk to the fans a little bit. Give me the quick elevator pitch on why people would like Bloodsport over regular pro wrestling over mma. Why is this the thing they should be watching?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think the average length and girth of the Bloodsport wrestler is greater.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Professional wrestling show. But basically the thing about Bloodsport is think about wrestling, but stripped to its rost sort of version. So less about costumes. There's no, like, big, dramatic storylines being built into stuff. It's just a guy shows up or a gal shows up stripped down. In the ring, there's not, like, a whole lot that you can. There's no ropes. Yeah. You can only win by knockout or submission.

[Zach Amico]

Maddie's upset. Maddie loves ropes.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I know she's a big rope fan, but that's usually around the.

[Maddie Smith]

Sounds like high school. Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Had her in her back wherever she.

[Maddie Smith]

Gets a couple belts or something.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, it's like Shabari.

[Zach Amico]

What?

[Maddie Smith]

So it's like a high school wrestling? Like, not. But it's like.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No more. More like watching UFC and. And mma kind of in that sense, but in a pro wrestling vibe.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah. Okay.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Very cool. Yeah, dude, it looks awesome. Very fun. Very, very. Comes off as much more like brutal than regular pro wrestling. Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yes. I mean, it's hard. We call it the hardest hitting promotion in all of professional wrestling.

[Zach Amico]

And you, you took it over, right? I was, I was reading that mat started it initially.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. So originally GCW had Matt Riddle as like the name title guy, right?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And then he, after the first show that he got picked up by wwe. So then the, the head of GCW reaches out and he goes, hey man, would you be interested in taking over this show? And I said, yeah, except I need to be producing it, booking it. Like this has to be my show.

[Zach Amico]

Your thing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm going to take care of all of this. And from our first show, which we did at White Eagle hall in Jersey City.

[Zach Amico]

Oh yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Completely different animal. And since then I've been making different changes and in terms of presentation and streamlining things and to, to the point that we are now up like Show 13 with one show done in Japan. And it's, it's a, it's its own animal. And to me it's a, it's a much better product than, than where they were starting. But at the same time like nobody really had done anything like this. Nobody in America was really familiar with this kind of wrestling.

[Zach Amico]

So yeah, yeah, this is, it's very cool. It's. It's nice to see things are still evolving in these, in these areas. I'm an, I'm an old school pro wrestling fan. I'm an old school MMA fan at this point, you know what I'm saying? I don't really watch MMA as much as I used to because it's sort of just.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's the thing that always like surprises me. Like, oh, did you watch fights? Like, well, fucking no, I never did. You know how many fights I've seen, like show me a fight that's going to be any different or unusual or it's like, yeah, no, I just read the play by plays and move on.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I kind of keep up with the news. I kind of see what's going on with it. But you know, I was talking to somebody about this mma just in general, it just. What was cool in my opinion, what was cool about it when I was like the top of the, when I was really into it. I'm talking about like back in the day, it was like, you know, I think I, I started falling off probably. You know, I say after, I would.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Say you, you would, I would take a guess. It's like as soon as guys weren't coming into the ring, announced as being pit, you were out.

[Zach Amico]

I said it a little later than that. I was in through the. I was in through the Anderson Silva era. I was in through, you know, even the, a bit of the Conor McGregor era. You know, it is. I'm an old school dork and once it became a cool kid thing, it just sort of turned me off kind.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Of the same way in that I liked the variety that you would get. And there wasn't. It wasn't like every weekend and then, you know, twice on Sunday out of nowhere. You just had card, card, card, card, card, card of guys like, who is this? Who is that guy? I don't. Why should I care about this dude? Well, he's got a. They need fights to, to fulfill, you know, media obligations and stuff like that, to have as many shows as they need. But I like seeing tournaments, you know, the one night tournaments, I like seeing build into some sort of big, big blow off. Just watching just constant, constant, constant fights and people grinding up like a rankings ladder is. This is boring.

[Zach Amico]

If I can't pronounce their names, as soon as I stop being able to pronounce like 80% of the names, like there's too many syllables, there's too many letters, too many guys from Dagestan or Russia together. I have no idea who anybody is anymore. So it's kind of difficult. I, When I was into it, it was more like pro wrestling, you know, like the Chuck Liddell era. Even like, dude, Chael Sonom was so great back in the day. I did a podcast with Bisping for a while and like that sort of era was like the golden years, in my opinion. And then it just became a little bit too, like, almost like repetitive maybe is the best way to put it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, yeah, I would say so. It's kind of. You already know what you're going to get. You're, of course you're going to get behind different fighters. And that really is like the key to all these kind of combat sports is finding somebody that you find is cool or can relate to, or you like their story and getting behind the individual because, I mean, everyone's throwing a punch and a kick and, you know, going after submissions. It's all relatively the same. It's kind of, you know, every game ran long enough, starts to streamline into certain ways of winning and approaching that game. And that's just all that's happened with mma.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I agree completely. Maddie, what do you think?

[Maddie Smith]

I met the Style Bender once. I don't know if that's. Is that UFC mma.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's both of those.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, I mix up my letters very large. But you know, they got to, they got to give themselves nicknames so we can pronounce their names.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, they do, but even the nicknames aren't as much fun. No, you had the Babyface Assassin, which is a great one.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I did.

[Zach Amico]

You got, you got older, so you couldn't say that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, no, no. I got all scarred up gray hairs and finally, finally got a single chest hair. Started coming through at like 35.

[Zach Amico]

So Maddie, what would be your will be your nickname if you're a fighter?

[Maddie Smith]

The. The Iron. The Iron Freckle. Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Iron Freckle.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, me.

[Zach Amico]

Oh. So how Zach, you went to the show last night? Talk to me.

[Josh Barnett]

That was a fucking blast. Yeah. Wrestled former Baron Corbin.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Josh Barnett]

Who I guess he's been. He just won a Jiu Jitsu tournament, right?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, he's got a. He just got his purple belt. He's been competing. He's also a Golden Gloves few time Golden Gloves boxer.

[Josh Barnett]

Yeah, yeah, it was fucking great. I mean, you. There's so many nerd questions I want to ask, but fucking Suzuki, dude. Like, how fucking wild.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, that's, that's.

[Josh Barnett]

So he wrestled. They call him the Murder Grandpa. He's. He was a old school fighter.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Josh Barnett]

And then he went into wwe, Minoru Suzuki. And that was your first bloodsport, right?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, that was the first bloodsport main event was me versus Minoru Suzuki. And something like that is easy to pull off because I've known Minoru Suzuki Suzuki for 20 years and you know, he's a good friend. We've trained together, we have tons of history and you know, getting in the ring with this guy like that, you just go out there and just. All right, you know he's gonna come after you, so just, just go for it. Like anything you need or anything, anything possible in that ring, he's gonna be able to bring it. Especially in that bloodsport style and that bloodsport environment.

[Josh Barnett]

And it's so cool like that. We've gotten this era now where WWE would never do indie shit and now they've, they're sending guys over to do bloodsport.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, really?

[Josh Barnett]

So Shayna Baszler, who you guys share trainer.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Right, right.

[Josh Barnett]

And then Charlie Dempsey just did it. Who's William Regal, son?

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Josh Barnett]

So they're sending guys over to kind of get over in bloodsport, guys.

[Zach Amico]

Wasn't. Isn't the British Bulldog son in it?

[Josh Barnett]

Oh, yes.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Davey Boy Smith Jr. I've actually. Before he ever even went to the WWE. We're. He used to train with me in Washington. He'd come down and do these shows for this company called Pinnacle Pro Wrestling in Auburn. And he saw me, I went to one of these shows. We met each other. We hadn't actually met yet, but he was also working in New Japan while, while I was too. And I was still fighting MMA as well over in Japan. So then I'm like, hey, you know, if you want to come and train, let's train. So I'd been working with him and teaching him catch wrestling and MMA since he was like, before he could even drink. And I remember when he got an offer to go to the wwe, we're like sitting there in the Jacuzzi after training, whatever, and he's like, you know, I, I'm not so sure. I don't know if this is exactly the path I want to go. So we had like a whole sit down and conversation about pros and cons and all this kind of stuff. And yeah, then he chose to go wwe. And are there.

[Zach Amico]

What are the cons in going to the wwe?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, he wanted to work more of a. He preferred the Japanese style. He preferred, like really getting in there and spending way more time in, in the ring than out of the ring.

[Zach Amico]

Right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And at the time, and, and even now, to a degree, there's a lot effort put into writers coming up with these story lines and doing all this stuff. It's a lot.

[Zach Amico]

It's.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It is a lot.

[Zach Amico]

I watched the first Raw and It was like three matches and it was.

[Josh Barnett]

Two hours of talking and like 45.

[Zach Amico]

Minutes, which is fine. Like, you know, you want some of that. But I remember when I was a kid, like, you would get like, you know, Saturday morning wrestling, there'd be like, you know, the Brother love show. Or they'd be like, you know, you know, Piper's pit. Yeah, Piper's Pit. And you would be. It would be a little five minute interstitial, but then you'd have like a bunch of matches, right? It was, you know, super exciting and I feel like the guys are way more athletic and they do cooler, but there's so much storyline that, yeah, it was a little bit difficult for me to sink my teeth.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Harry's just like, you know, I'm not really, I'm not sure that I want to go that route. And I, I just said, look, man, you're young as hell, so it puts cachet in your name. It. You'll get a ton of experience because they were still working on the road a lot and you know, it's just another way, another adaptation. Plus, you know, at the end of the day, if you have a decent little tenure there and you make good scratch, then you can at some point be like, you know, I just let me go and go work on.

[Zach Amico]

It's almost like when you're in mma, these guys, if you get to the ufc, even if you don't, even if you never become a champion, if you have enough of a name and enough of a run, you can open gyms.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You too could be a part of the Global Fight League.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, that's so. Let's see. Racist Live chat says.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, yeah, Come on.

[Zach Amico]

What do we got here? Wrestling sucks.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's okay.

[Zach Amico]

Wrestling is gay as fuck.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, you'll love it. Then.

[Zach Amico]

Let'S see. That ain't real wrestling. Yeah, they're very supportive here in the race.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's great. No, it isn't real wrestling to Whoever, you know, TLD36 59999. I. I suppose it's not real wrestling to them, but it just. Because it involves.

[Zach Amico]

Well, it's more like. Baby Hitler was right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, yeah. Baby Hitler was so bab.

[Zach Amico]

Right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Real wrestling definition. Real wrestling, I imagine involves a lot of ky spatulas.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Whatever objects are soft and moldable, could be inserted. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Did you grow up on ecw?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Not. No. I grew up on wwf, nwa before it became wcw. That Jim Crockett promotion stuff. Then AWA and then really got into the Japanese stuff. But then when. When ECW was. Was on the come up, of course you had to go and check that out because the stuff they were doing, you'd see these, these gifts that it take you like 30 minutes to download on the fucking Internet back in the day. And then it's like some guy getting choke slammed off of like a fucking car tractor trailer through like 11 tables.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it was the best.

[Josh Barnett]

Oh, you would have marked out last night hard. Oh, yeah, because it was at Hammerstein. So they had Little Guido, Tajiri and Super Crazy in a match and then Tanaka fought the guy used to fight Mike Boss. Jesus. Dude, this guy's. I think he's 51. Dude. They were. They were dumping him on his head from outside. Outside the ring.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it was.

[Josh Barnett]

The fact that this guy can walk is a miracle.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I saw, I saw some crazy. I saw two ECW events ever live and they were just. I mean, so far I saw Sandman versus Cactus Jack, like Pinnacle back in the day. Like, you know, that's when ECW is the best. Then I saw Marty Jannetti versus Jim. The Andrew Neidhart and the whole crowd just throwing trash at the ring and chanting. Sean. And Brett was the fucking best dude. The bomb.

[Josh Barnett]

Super crazy. He was 50 something. He did a moonsault off the balcony.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, some of those dudes just blow you away. Like, I did some shows with the original tiger mask over in Japan, and he was like 60 or whatever, and he would still hustle and move and just be fast as. And I'm like, what? How is that possible?

[Zach Amico]

I. I had to quit jujitsu when I got my blue belt because both my knees went. That was it. Yeah, I'm done.

[Maddie Smith]

Done. See ya.

[Zach Amico]

I got my blue belt and I was like, you know what? I'm a martial artist now.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I was like, the carnival, the clown house.

[Zach Amico]

Like, what the.

[Josh Barnett]

That's where I'm from.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What the fuck is the name of this place? So, yeah, Showboat. And we're hanging out there at a bar within the Showboat, facing the boardwalk. And it was mostly just people from the event and some of the wrestlers. And we're all hanging out and all having a good time, drinking. I'm standing there with my buddy's wife and this guy just rolls up, this older dude, probably in his 50s. But he just goes, you know, I heard you're a pretty tough guy. And I'm like, well, you know, it depends on the day of the week.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And he's just basically like, well, I don't. I don't think you look that tough. Well, you're probably right. And he just starts, keeps going, like, I think I could take you. I could. You know, you don't seem that tough to me. And this and this and this. And I'm like, this is the stupidest, most random dumb thing I've ever come see.

[Zach Amico]

I fall for bait like that, but let's go. And so I have to prove myself. You don't have anything to prove.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, I just kept defusing it, Whatever. And I'm like, okay, yeah, whatever, whatever. Who cares? And my buddy's wife is just kind of like laughing, and we're just looking at this guy like, you know, like a special needs kid.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So then all of a sudden he just goes, no, no, I really mean it. No, I. I think, you know, I. Why don't we go outside? I think, I think I could take it. I just kind of look at him. I looked at my buddy's wife and I chuckled. I just went. Started taking my jacket off and he just goes, no, no, no, no, no, I'm just kidding.

[Zach Amico]

I'm just kidding.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

[Zach Amico]

He was just with me.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

No, no, no. I told my friends I'd come over here and do this.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I was like, well, you almost got the fucking shit kicked out of you. All up and down the boardwalk.

[Zach Amico]

So you would, you would take the bait if they really went that far.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You know what? It was just, it's. Yeah, you can give me a million reasons why you shouldn't do something like that, but just inside me I'm like, you're really going to come up here and push your luck and push your luck and it's fine or whatever. People are dumb and they get drunk and, you know, who cares? It's not a big deal. But then it's just like, no, I can. Are you actually asking to fight me? Yeah, okay, let's go to that.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But other than that. No. I've had people get. There have been times even where I've seen somebody being a real monumental prick somewhere where I can see someone like, he's pushing, he's trying to push people's buttons. He's being really obnoxious. He's trying to get someone to pull into it. But obviously a lot of times you see that aggressive energy out of someone and people are just kind of like, nah, I don't, I don't. I don't want to. I don't want to scrap. And someone being a. And I'll see it and just go, kind of saddle up, sidle up to them.

[Zach Amico]

You need to. You need to extract justice and then.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Just, you know, see if they'll with me and then with them back and then they. They don't ever do anything.

[Zach Amico]

I'm the same exact way, except I don't scare people. So it's like, I usually end up getting into shit. If I see somebody, like being A lunatic across the street and just being, like, wacky and wild.

[Josh Barnett]

Usually it's a reflection.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah, look at that guy. Don't point at me.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Josh Barnett]

You know when a dog gets mad at itself in the mirror? Yeah, that's.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, yeah, fuck you up.

[Zach Amico]

But I'll go and put myself in the way.

[Josh Barnett]

Whose tail is that?

[Zach Amico]

In the way of the danger? Because I want to see if he's going to, like, talk shit to me. I don't.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's a public menace, right? It's like nobody signs up to go. To leave their house, to have somebody be just a total. Yeah, right. I mean, and look, people.

[Josh Barnett]

Can you record that and play it for him every morning?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I put that into his mantras. Nobody asked for anybody to be a total.

[Josh Barnett]

That should be written above his beard.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But there have been a few times where people are. Are being really pretty fired up, and I'm just like, okay, you know, you don't know. I remember one time I told the guy, you don't know anybody that knows anybody that knows anybody that knows anybody, and kick my ass. So who the fuck are you going to get. Because.

[Zach Amico]

So you think he was. He wasn't. Six degrees of separation with anybody that kick your ass.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, definitely not. And even then, like, that, that list would be pretty fudgeing small. Yeah. But then again. And then, you know, or the one. One of my favorites was like, well, how many friends you got? Yeah, well, you better go call some more, because that ain't enough. And they're just like, no. And I think it's not because, like, I'm, like, doing any, like, Clint Eastwood, you know, squinty. It's just I'm. I'm always calm about it. I'm not fired up. It's just like, if this is. If you really want to go, then. Yeah. Well, just once in a.

[Zach Amico]

Once in a while, people need to know, like, they're gonna have to think again if they're gonna act like an asshole again. There might just be a Josh Barnett waiting in the shadows that's gonna fucking teach them their lesson.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Could be. Of course, at the same time, looking the way I do and, you know, you see me rocking my leather jacket everywhere I go, metal pins on.

[Zach Amico]

But that doesn't make me think somebody's tough. Somebody's. At most, metal heads are dorks. They have a thing where they look like they have this exterior. They're black. But, like, every metalhead that I grew up with was an actual pussy.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

None of them could fight.

[Maddie Smith]

They all have allergies.

[Zach Amico]

They don't get laid. They're like metalheads that I grew up with were. Yeah, straight up, like dweebs.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, yeah, there's a lot. There's a big, heavy dork nerd overlap with. With heavy metal, which is, you know, that's part of the reason why I got into it. But, no, it's just like menace in a mosh pit.

[Zach Amico]

You don't want to mosh with Josh Barnett.

[Maddie Smith]

No way.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I pick up everybody that gets knocked down. It's all good. But at the same time, like, I remember being in this. This strip club and we're hanging out, and this guy, he kind of eyeballing me, and I'm like, huh, does he recognize me from something? Does he. Is he a fan? Is he. I don't think that's it. And he comes finally, kind of sliding his way up, and he comes up next to me and he goes, hey, you happen to know anybody, anywhere or anyone where I might be able to get something white? And I'm like, oh, this guy, he sees me and he's awesome.

[Zach Amico]

He thinks you're a white nationalist.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, that would have been, you know what? Better, because it was in Oregon. That would at least made more. It would have been less silly than this.

[Maddie Smith]

You got a car? I'm going to Charlottesville.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He's like, white car, bring the torches.

[Josh Barnett]

Yeah, I was wondering if you had any plans between January 5 and 7.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, no, I'm so. I'm all out of tiki oil.

[Zach Amico]

My bad.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But no, no, this idiot comes up to me and he's like. He's basically propositioning me to see if I will sell him drugs.

[Zach Amico]

Nice.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And I'm just thinking, this dude's seen way too many 80s action films. And he looks at me with the leather jacket on and the whole, like, heavy metal shit, and he's like, oh, that's a street tough. They have cocaine, right? Like, they know where to, like, jack, boost cars and whatever.

[Zach Amico]

So he's looking.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It was like, how many fucking times have you played Double Dragon? You see this guy that. Those are the guys that attacked me on the phone.

[Zach Amico]

This guy needed to find a Puerto Rican. He was really just the wrong well.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But here's the thing. I didn't tell him I didn't have any drugs. I just said I wouldn't do it.

[Zach Amico]

Said I just wouldn't sell to him. Yeah, that's funny.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So it was better for me in my mind, for him to think I was. I had. I had coke and I wouldn't sell it to him then to think like, no, I'm not.

[Zach Amico]

I've been the guy looking for drugs and you have to. You eyeball people and go, all right, is that person going to have it? Is that person going to have it?

[Maddie Smith]

I used to do that when they don't.

[Zach Amico]

When, when. Even before weed was legal everywhere, I would just. Whatever city I would land in. And I was just in Montreal this past weekend. The last time I was in Montreal was way before weed was legal. It's been years and years and years. And I remember I would literally show up and I'd say to whoever I'm working with that weekend, I was like, guys, don't worry, I'm going to go find weed. And I would just scour the streets and look for just fucking smelly looking dudes, dudes that had like skate stuff on. In fact, in Montreal specifically, this is kind of funny because this was the era. This was back in the day when I was a huge MMA fan. I went to a skate shop, I was looking for weed. I was like, hey, can I get weed? You know anybody that has weed? And the guy was like, yeah, yeah, I do. And I gave him my number and I told him, I'm a comedian in town. This is years. He had no idea who I was. And then what's it called? I guess maybe an hour later, Joe Daddy Stevenson came in with his crew as Chris Hordesky. Joe Daddy Stevenson, there was like a bunch of MMA fighters. They were in town for some sort of Canadian MMA event. And just randomly they sort of.

[Josh Barnett]

It's mmeh question mark.

[Maddie Smith]

Oh, mma.

[Zach Amico]

I didn't mind it. Zach was like. And they gave him my number. They gave Joe Stevenson my number. They're like, oh, these comedians are doing a show at a place called Comedy Works. So I just randomly get a phone call. I'm like, this is. It's so crazy at the time because I just get a random phone call and the guy's like, hey, my name is Joe Daddy Stevenson. I'm an MMA fighter. And I heard this is comedy show tonight. I'm like, what? It's. It's so random and crazy.

[Josh Barnett]

And then, yeah, they came a call from Joe Daddy.

[Zach Amico]

My daddy. Joe Daddy. No daddy. Yeah. But I though they showed up to the show, we hung out, we ended up smoking a bunch of weed with them. He showed me how to do a guillotine.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

His nice special things that happen after you smoke a bunch of weed.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, dude. I remember Big J fell asleep and he was like, we were all in the hotel room and Big J just kept on like waking up in the middle of the night and I was just in different moves with Joe Daddy Stevenson on the bed.

[Maddie Smith]

So funny.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it was just such a random, crazy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, yeah, this is normal.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Serendipitous weird event or, you know, series of events.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But it also goes to show that we are basically bottom rung delinquents.

[Zach Amico]

Yes.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's what makes up mma.

[Zach Amico]

Well, that's exactly. It's, it's the guys who get into it. It's like I always say there's like all these parallels where it's like there's no money at all in the beginning. You're doing it just for the love. There's no vision of like. I mean, I guess there's certain guys that are so good and maybe as high school athletes, especially now that they can see a path, but I think most guys that get into fighting, they get into it because they're like, no, I want to train, I want to go get good, obviously, but it's not like, oh, I'm gon become rich being a fighter. No comedian feels that way either. And I almost feel like that, that there was always a, a weird, like, common thread there. So I think fighters and comedians have always gotten along for that reason.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

We're all up. Yeah, pretty much.

[Zach Amico]

But.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, I mean, I'll say, when I started, there wasn't a. There was like, you could get to the UFC or maybe you can get to Japan, but it wasn't really a clear set path.

[Zach Amico]

And none of those guys were rich when you started.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, they're probably not rich now.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But you know, nowadays you will come across plenty of kids that have this idea, I'm going to get to the ufc, I'm going to be famous, I'm going to, they're going to leverage social media. They all see this, like, kind of all encompassing social media, media personality, influencer, slash, fighter, whatever. Like all these professions that can, that can link in that way. They see this, like, this mesh of this, this pathway towards, I don't know, like fame and stardom. But you know, when I started, I just was like, well, the rules were different everywhere you go. There wasn't like professional gyms everywhere. We didn't even really use much in the way of equipment. I'm not saying it was all fig leaves and oil, but I'm saying we didn't have gloves, you know, we didn't have like all the, the best gear. Training gear was limited, like all that. But the thing was we knew that Somewhere out there there was another idiot that wanted to get their brains bashed in along with you. So you guys could, could meet somewhere and between the two you could, you could maybe scrape together like, you know, some bad insurance accident.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. I think that, yeah, there's like a special type of person that just is willing to go be punched in the head. Yeah. You know, all the time and for no money. For just the love of the game. Just. Just whatever it is. And yeah. I always have a lot of respect for those guys. I really do. You're talking about social media. We're talking about this, a big deal. 12 hour ban on TikTok this past weekend. Are you on TikTok?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Oh yeah. I'm huge on TikTok.

[Maddie Smith]

Really?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No.

[Maddie Smith]

Oh, word. You never know.

[Zach Amico]

Matty, are you on TikTok?

[Maddie Smith]

Just passively.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, passive talker.

[Maddie Smith]

Post whatever. Post whatever. I. But I don't. Sometimes I'll scroll, but I wasn't really too attached to the band.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

More of a Snapchat person, huh?

[Maddie Smith]

Oh yeah. I'm on Snapchat with my pics out.

[Zach Amico]

I, I don't.

[Maddie Smith]

I try not to scroll a lot in general these days.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Good.

[Maddie Smith]

So Tik Tok bad.

[Zach Amico]

It is poison, but it is poison for the brain. The doom scrolling. You just keep on going. You keep on going.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's made to be that way.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I mean it, it's not. It's. It's effective for a reason. But yeah, for me I was like, cool, great. Goodbye, Tik Tok. People were just like, oh, I've got this whole like people have these hole. I'm like one.

[Maddie Smith]

I know people were posting like I don't know what I'm gonna.

[Zach Amico]

I had. I. It was funniest because I, I've never been on TikTok. I didn't give a. At all. But I was hanging out with this chick who has like a pretty big TikTok following and I had to like be sensitive for her. I was like, oh yeah, I really care. This is fucking awful. But you just watch, you literally watch all these girls like that. Their. Their entire thing is just gone.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Like if you make. If that's your whole thing and that's how you make money is by being on TikTok and then they could just take it away from you. That's fucking insane, dude.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, they could take anything away though.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Maddie Smith]

Instagram.

[Zach Amico]

Well, that's why you have to, you have to diversify.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

You know, get out there, do all the different things.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. You got to create your own Website now I gu, you got to have WWW look at my butt dot com.

[Zach Amico]

Well, let me tell you something. I created an email list, right? And people are like, lo, you're a idiot. You created an email list? There's two. I was like, no, no. That's specifically why I created an email list is because any of these other platforms can be taken away. If they just want to kick you off it, you're done. And there's no question I've had, I have Instagram accounts taken. Well, that's not true. I had my Twitter account hacked cuz I'm a. Okay, yeah, somebody, somebody stole my password on Twitter and then try to sell. I mean they did. They successfully sold laptops to my stupidest fans. There was like six or seven people that got back to me. They were like, dude, can you give me that money? I was like, I don't have the money, bro. You're a retard. You fell for this? I can't deal with it. I fell for it as well, but I got that back luckily. But yeah, dude, fucking the TikTok thing, first of all, it was the biggest piece of marketing for them ever. The amount of people talking about TikTok for that 12 hour period, I'm sure it just blew the numbers through the roof. It was just a net positive for TikTok. I don't really pay attention to why any of it happened. Shannon, what's the reason that this happened? Go to the Shannon camp.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

China.

[E]

So it seems that, it seems like Trump told everybody that they weren't going to be penalized if they hosted the TikTok app. And then once that happened is when they started to allow people in the US to use Tick Tock again.

[Zach Amico]

And then why did it get taken away initially? Is it privacy? Is it, there's conspiracies that they're trying to like take our information or they don't. The, the government doesn't want us to have access to free information, which I don't really buy that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, there's like a million different social media sites if you're not on Tick Tock. I mean there's all kinds of, there's forums, there's plenty of people going on Discord servers and yeah, so that's, that's not really an issue.

[Zach Amico]

I, I, there's a racist live chat. This is the number one place to get information. Oh yeah, right on.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, it's, it's right there. This is, this is how I settle all my politics. I mean they have their reasons, right? And then there's the whole thing that it's a Chinese owned company and that it. There's information perhaps on all of its users that now China has access to. Which, Man, I don't know. I don't know. Right? And. And the fact is, things that are digital like this are so penetrating. Don't get too excited and mad.

[Maddie Smith]

I'm freaking out.

[Zach Amico]

Maddie's sliding out of now.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

She's. Now she's getting TikTok.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, TikTok.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

TikTok. But I think, like, pretty much anybody that's got any kind of footprint on the Internet that isn't doing, like, insane levels of operational security, all that information is everywhere anyways.

[Zach Amico]

There's no hiding. We are now. Unless you literally get rid of your phone, go live on an island, you're not using computers, you're not using the Internet. It's all kind of out there.

[Maddie Smith]

It's all out there.

[Zach Amico]

And it's like, you know that it is a little bit scary, but at the same time, how are you gonna fucking fight it? Just don't be a pedophile. What are you gonna do with information?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Sell me, like, oh, you're old and broken down here, you need these knee braces.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah. So as long as you're not doing anything super shady. Because they used to say that all the time. It's like, dude, you don't want people to have access to your. Your search history. It's like, I guess if you're a pedophile, you don't. Right. If people saw my searches, really, what would it be? It's just me Googling myself like a loser.

[Maddie Smith]

Googling myself. Ingrown hair versus herpes. I mean, my FBI agent would be like, she's weird. But they wouldn't be arresting me. Go ahead and take it all.

[Zach Amico]

Okay, let's take a quick moment and thank yo kratom.com longtime supporter, great supporter, one of the best sponsors in the goddamn game. Yo kratom.com home of the 60 kilo. If you're already in the market for kratom, we're not saying use kratom. We're saying if you're already getting kratom, get lab tested. High quality kratom from people who really care about not only their customer base, but really care about comedy as well.

[Josh Barnett]

That's true. Stop going to bodegas, smoke shops and gas stations and getting a little bit of kratom at a time. And you barely even know what it is. When you go to our friends@yo kratom.com where they have the best strains, the best customer service. They're the marquee sponsor of everything we do here at the network, and they have the best deal in the world to kratom. 60 bucks for a whole kilo.

[Zach Amico]

Once again, that's Yokratum.com home of the $60 kilo. All right, let's get back into it. It was so funny. I won't say the guy's name, but this was just a fucking great moment. This past weekend, we were hanging out at the comedy club, and one of the guys that opened for me, I guess the chick that I was hanging out with, started following him, like, on social media. And a minute later, she gets a message from another girl. Like, literally one minute later, she gets a message from another girl. And the girl's like, hey, just so you know, this guy has STDs. He gave them. He spreads them around. You should just be warned.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Just from following.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, because she. I guess she's looking at who's following him with regularity. So it's like. And then I was like. I was like, dude, this girl's fucking crazy. He's like, yeah, I know, she's fucking nuts, dude. But then I was like, did you give her an std?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He's like, well, but. But, you know, a small one.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, well, it depends on what it is. Look, if it's. If it's herpes, it's probably, you know, you're going to be a little bit pissed for a while, but even that, like, are you going to start reaching out to people?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's kind of wild, vindictive. You are.

[Zach Amico]

That's a crazy.

[Maddie Smith]

That's a.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Depends on where it shows up.

[Zach Amico]

I'm so with the herpes.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Right on the tip of your nose.

[Maddie Smith]

You'll be getting a message from me, dude.

[Zach Amico]

I mean, I. I have so much anxiety about crazy bitches. I've did. I used to gravitate toward the nuttiest, just the craziest girls there is.

[Maddie Smith]

How we met.

[Zach Amico]

Yes. And. But, like, whatever. It was like. But I. I always had a thing. I would treat them good because there would be girls that I'd be hooking up with. And people like, dude, don't hook up with that girl. That girl accused the guys of rape. Like, you're really playing with fire here. And I was like, whatever.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I like my odds.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, that's fire. But whatever it is, I would treat them well. And in my head, I'm going, well, you know what? There is another guy that's treating her like shit. So she's going to probably attack that guy. So I was. I always feel like there's a layer of protection, but, like, it just. It brought me back to the anxiety.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You think your dick is asbestos, man. Like you just can't get burned. You're the craziest bitch.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, but it's like there's something about like. It really used to do it for me. But now I'm so happy that I'm removing myself from that anxiety. Like, I haven't dated a crazy bitch and a hot man. It's been like literally years. But I kind of bring myself back to that anxiety of just like, oh, my God, just crazy girls. Whatever it is, you can't. Because you can't beat them up. That's what it is.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's a fact.

[Zach Amico]

That's. There's no. There's no getting around it. There's no fighting them. There's no beat up. You have to literally murder them. And you're probably gonna get caught. So you just have to deal with these crazy bitches. Maddie, do you do crazy shit the guys. Because you're a loon. You're a sweetheart of a loon. You're like a looney tune, like, cartoon character.

[Maddie Smith]

I am like Lola Bunny.

[Zach Amico]

It's just like I was thinking that.

[Maddie Smith]

The AC me anvil, not bugs, right? You know, if I have a boyfriend, all girlfriends have like a. I'm gonna be mad at you for no reason.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

In a dream. You did something in a dream. Fuck you.

[Maddie Smith]

Silent treatment. All my boyfriends have. I have boyfriends who just talk it out and laugh about it. But I've never pulled anything like you've never done.

[Zach Amico]

Cause when. Cancel culture.

[Maddie Smith]

Me too. Movement was happening. But I never done.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon, let me get another black coffee, please.

[Maddie Smith]

Make it two. I never did anything like, dug my key into the side of his pretty little suit. The four wheel drive love.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. That was nuts.

[Maddie Smith]

Come on.

[Zach Amico]

Then. People sing that song like, it's like, yeah, you should key his car. He's a. He just cheated. How about you just leave? How about you leave, but you don't commit?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That was like ambrosia. You just.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

If she's like singing, that was it. She's crazy, but so good. Oh, you're just like, yeah, let me slide over it.

[Maddie Smith]

It is intoxicating to be in that kind of relationship.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. I mean, crate crazy girls do know how they will just absolutely let the floodgates open of love and sex and lust and there. Because that's generally like, this is how they interact. With the world.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But it's either like, ah, or it's just like, one dynamic together.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Maddie Smith]

As a girl, it does feel good sometimes to, like, have your boyfriend, like, not know why you're mad at him.

[Zach Amico]

To fear. To fear you ruining his life and career.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Maddie Smith]

Like, to get that, it's almost like he does something and at first you're not mad, and then you're like, wait, I can be mad at that?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Maddie Smith]

And you spend the next four days.

[Zach Amico]

Like, when you don't have anything to lose.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I think it's a lot easier to play that game when you're young, you're in your 20s, and you're just like, dude, I'm fucking. I got roommates and I'm broke. And it's like, what are you gonna do? You're just fucking. Dude, there's nothing to take from me. But as soon as you have something, you're like, oh, yeah, no, I'm not gonna play that game.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah. I remember the first time a guy said to me, like, you can't talk to me like that. I was like, all right, I'll stop doing this.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

All right, cool. Truce. My bad. Here's a snicker.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, but there is something. There is something crazy about Tick Tock. Girls like, girls that, like, they live their lives on Tick Tock and they make these videos.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Think about how, like, it's the ultimate either tool for creating or facilitating narcissists.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You know, and if we. If the. The. If the metric holds true that actresses are all crazy, well, what is this other than being an actress 24 7.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Being an actress without the barrier of entry, of having to go, become good, get an agent, suck a card. Literally. There's the. There's. You press a button and now you get the same sort of probably even more accolades because you get daily affirmation that you're hot or cool or funny or whatever it is with absolutely no barrier of entry. So that's like. It's breeding just like thousands and thousands of little crazy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yes.

[Maddie Smith]

It's like little videos throughout the whole day that just adds up to a live stream. Yeah, it's like a live stream type of stuff.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. The. The watch me play video games, but they're not playing any video games. It's just kind of tits out. Yeah, I know. Yeah. What a shame.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, I know. Who would like that?

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So, Shannon, what's going on with this Tick Tock back for three months, they're saying. Or. Or it's a temporary Thing. It's an executive order.

[E]

Yeah. So one of Trump's first executive orders is to give them a three month ban. Sorry, a three month extension.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah. That's a Trump move. Move.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. I think, I think the inauguration's happening right now as we speak.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But that's the best inauguration ever.

[Maddie Smith]

We're boycotting. Lewis is a lib.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, well it's, it's, first of all, I'm nothing but if you, the amount of people that are like, dude, it's the best day ever. It's like, you are so gay.

[Maddie Smith]

Like the, the mega thing is like.

[Zach Amico]

I don't know your politics at all.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But no, but I, I'm gonna say no, it's not. I mean, fine, like if you want to watch it, it for the historical aspect of it all, but like the, all the whole idea of like every part of the ceremonial process of politics is somehow like this didn't do anything. Yeah. It's for them to present themselves, put something out there in the world that. Yeah. You don't need to be there to see it. I mean, but I, but look, I don't, I don't harsh anyone for wanting to be a part of things that are historical for, but for the reason of being there to see that moment as a new president is brought in. Not because look, I don't, I fucking. I, Politics suck. Awful. I, I. You're going to tell me to like, oh yeah, really stump for a politician. I'm like, are you?

[Zach Amico]

It's the worst. No, it's the worst. On both sides. On both sides. And the, the people, it's so funny because people on the right for so long were like, dude, all the people on the left are, they're celebrity star. And now that's what the right has become. They bring in all these celebrities now it's all just the gayest.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, everybody is going to, to be a celebrity star at that level. Because a lot of these people, when you start looking into their, their actual records of competency, you see that it doesn't exist. And you know, the only thing they're good at is main. Getting themselves inside the circle, making sure they stay within that circle. And that doesn't even mean if they can keeping their political position. But if they don't stay there, then they go to, you know, corporations or Goldman Sachs or banks or whatever, universities, you know, or NGOs of some sort. And then they, so they never leave that little bubble of what you could call politics at the, at the upper level.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But you know that they're more concerned with being reelected and staying within the good graces of the system than it is about actually. Well, if you have to make a decision that's going to like, well, hey, maybe, maybe social media really needed to be constrained in some sort of way. I don't know what that would be to make it healthier for the populace at large.

[Zach Amico]

I think that's going to happen eventually. I think eventually how many people are.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Going to get mad about it? But then, then not only will your populace get mad about it because you're taking away their drugs. Right. But at the same time, there are people who have a lot of money invested into all this kind of stuff and they're going to be mad about it, about the money they're not going to have. Because people, at the end of the day, if there was a say, net positive towards doing it, that isn't going to take the major precedent. It's going to be all those other things. So at the end of the day, you're like, well, what is the point of governance?

[Zach Amico]

I think they should detox us from social media for like a little while. Like, just like get everyone back to being fucking normal, good people. If you really care, don't make it where you just got to do this to pretend you care. You got to go out, get to a fucking library. You got to read a book. You have to show up and actually support a political candidate by going to his rally or fucking. Actually it's just too easy to be lazy and act like you care. So I hate it. I am anti politics.

[Josh Barnett]

I always, yeah, if you want to go to a Trump rally, go to the next UFC event. Ain't that the truth, dude, I gotta say, shut out.

[Maddie Smith]

I know, right?

[Josh Barnett]

To Nate for sitting with Mel Gibson.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah, Nate Bargazi. Yeah.

[Josh Barnett]

And I was like, wow, Nate's going for it.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, Nate doesn't give a fuck anymore. But yeah, it's like every. Everyone's like everyone down in Texas. Every comedian is now a big Trumper. The UFC is like a big Trump supporting, fucking. Which they used to be awesome. They used to be no politics. They used to keep it out of it, dude. They would discourage guys from coming out and showing any political affiliation.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Politics has been pushed into spaces outside of just the political right. And you know, if some. Someone say that the personal is a political. Well, for one in a open liberal democracy, then, yeah, that's actually going to be the case. So everybody in a democracy is made de facto a person, a political agent, because now you have the Ability to vote. So now you have something that somebody needs.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So good luck. If you want to get away from it to some degree, then you have to do like you're saying, cut it the out of your life. And then either you don't vote or if you want to vote, vote, still find a way to, to do whatever research, not just into whatever these bills are, but actual the construction of. Nah, I got covet.

[Maddie Smith]

Sorry. It's long.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's okay. It's the worst thing. It's not the worst thing he could have given me, I bet.

[Maddie Smith]

Oh, yeah. AIDS is in there too.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You only get it once, though, so make your shot count. But, you know, so you have to get involved in this or just, just.

[Zach Amico]

Or make fun of all of it, which is what comedians should be doing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Should be doing. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Yesterday we should have been making fun of Biden, today we should be making fun of Trump.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

That is just the way it should always be for comedians. Like, I come from a time it didn't matter if you actually liked the principal of your school, you'd fucking spit a spitball in his head because he's the fucking principal of your school. And that's that. And it's so weird to have people like just that it's becoming their identity.

[Maddie Smith]

It's becoming a part of the same. People who are like, anti government are now showing up to all this shit.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's crazy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, yeah. Oh, and just watching like Bill Gates coming around like, oh, yeah, Trump has been great.

[Zach Amico]

He's like, what the same thing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Like Cuomo's new. Somebody sent me some clip from Cuomo talking on his, his new podcast, new show thing, whatever. I don't know what it is. And it's like, like this guy is what this was the dude who was on one side just saying anything he could think of.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, is that the guy that Dave Smith debated? I think it was, right?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, possibly.

[Zach Amico]

I don't know. I just smoked him in that debate.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm just saying. And seeing cnn, cnn, you know, Jockeys now being approached, it's just like, well, okay, you were so anti One Direction to me. It's just that politics has become this thing with social media where everybody feels like they involved, they can one up their, their peers or their, their, their others by saying, look at how much smarter I am about politics.

[Zach Amico]

And none of them know anything.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's the thing. None of them do the research, meaning making exercise for people now to act like they really know geopolitical. Like the whole argument, like, you didn't even know your Ukraine was on a map. But I mean that could be extended to a lot of things.

[Zach Amico]

I, I thought the Ukraine was the, a part of Russia, to be honest with you.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Wow.

[Zach Amico]

I thought it was the capital.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Kind of had been for a long. It didn't. It does mean the frontier.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon, let's do some plugs real quick. We're, we're just trucking along here and I want to know, I want to hear about some of these celebrities that are at this because maybe, I mean I, I said I should do the Trump Grift and maybe I will.

I saw Conor McGregor was there, which is like, you're not even fucking American, bro.

[Maddie Smith]

Right?

[Zach Amico]

Why do we. What are we even doing?

[Maddie Smith]

Dude?

[Zach Amico]

I was in Canada. Everyone's talking about American politics. I had stop one of the guys, they were. They were in a cigar lounge just smoking cigars, just enjoying ourselves. And this guy's just like, starts yapping about Trump and come on. I'm like, bro, shut up, dude. No, like, no, nobody who knows. I have no idea anything about Canadian politics. I have no. I know nothing about Irish politics. Do they have a president? What do they have?

[Maddie Smith]

They got a prime minister.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They have a level leprechaun.

[Maddie Smith]

They have a leprechaun in the rainbow.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. So, you know, it's fine. Good job, Conor. But, yeah, it's all kind of Canadian.

[Maddie Smith]

Prime ministers, I think, resigning.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, right. Yeah, I think I heard something like that. Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Only fans true that.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. All right, so, Shannon, you know what? Let's go to Toit or Noit.

[Maddie Smith]

Ooh, Toit or should I stand up and Noit?

[Zach Amico]

Maddie, take your clothes off.

[Maddie Smith]

Okay, let's check it out.

[Zach Amico]

You are. We're. We've donated your body to Josh Barnett so he can do what he wants with you.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

All right. I. I do have a basement.

[Zach Amico]

She's on her period, so it's a different type of blood sport today.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, it's totally fine. Totally fine.

[Zach Amico]

We've all been there before. Okay, let's see what do we got on the agenda, Shannon?

[E]

Okay, so this chick spent $17,000 to get some of her ribs removed so that she can have a smaller waist. She can have a smaller waist. And now she's making them into a crown.

[Zach Amico]

I thought that was, like, a thing that you couldn't do because the rumor was that Marilyn Manson did it back in the day. And that wasn't true, obviously, but I thought the reason he, you know, it was dispelled was because you can't actually go do that.

[Maddie Smith]

Well, she was making a smaller waist.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Which I. I'm all for. Yeah.

[Maddie Smith]

I don't think you can suck your own D. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Let's say. Oh, is this a black chick? Maybe she was just hungry. Maybe she was just. She wanted some ribs. Yeah.

[Maddie Smith]

Put a little barbecue on them.

[Zach Amico]

These are my rib bones. There's six of them. No. Shannon, is this. Are you being.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Got six ribs? I don't think that seems like a lot. 6. That's a lot of ribs.

[Zach Amico]

Ribs, yeah.

[E]

This. I don't know. She's coming. I can play you her little video.

[Josh Barnett]

Is there a picture of her?

[Maddie Smith]

See her?

[E]

I have a. I'll play her little.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Pre full of ribs, sans ribs, fat. Look at the angles. Yeah, you can tell this girl's carrying extra removed for cosmetic purposes.

[Maddie Smith]

This is your trigger warning. Look away if you don't like body parts of life. These are my rib bones. There's six of them.

[Zach Amico]

This one's so tiny and small.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Can she do something about her voice?

[Maddie Smith]

He'll let me keep them. I was gonna give them to my best friends, but I feel like they'd be happier with mama. Plan on having someone make a crown and, like, incorporate my bone pieces in there and, like, shave them down. So if you know anybody who knows someone who can make this a reality, let me know. Had a lot of you say really funny things like you're gonna boil them down in a crock pot and make broth to make Emily James broth. Or just the average, like, Emily James Barbie.

[Zach Amico]

Would you? Because she's cute enough.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Enough.

[Zach Amico]

She's cute enough.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Not if she's talking.

[Maddie Smith]

My ribs.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, you can make a broth out of it.

[Josh Barnett]

Is there a photo of her sans ribs?

[Maddie Smith]

I need to see if it works.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, my God. They're gonna kill Tick tock.

[Zach Amico]

Is there a picture of her actual ribs? Because, I mean, I need to sort of see the scars. I need to see.

[E]

So I have some. Some of her with a waist trainer on. But let's see. Hold on, wait. This is going to reveal something, though, when you see this. Us.

[Zach Amico]

It's a dude. You.

[Maddie Smith]

It's a dude.

[Zach Amico]

It's A dude. I knew it was a dude the whole time. Well, we heard the voice, and then. I don't want to be hateful because Josh is here, so I wasn't gonna start.

[Maddie Smith]

Right.

[Zach Amico]

I don't want to have to have Josh explain his associations, but I knew it was a dude the whole time.

[Maddie Smith]

Dude vibes.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[E]

I feel like Josh did really know because he really.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Actually, no, I didn't make a part.

[Zach Amico]

Of a shitty voice.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Just. I just thought that she had an. Certain inflection with the way she would speak, because I've come across infection.

[Zach Amico]

It's aids.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Josh Barnett]

It's an erection.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Not at the moment. If you see the table going up, you'll know why.

[Zach Amico]

So it is a dude. Shannon. Thank you.

[Josh Barnett]

Oh, boy.

[Zach Amico]

I mean, look, here's. Can I say, look, if you're a trans, be a hot trans.

[Josh Barnett]

Yeah, I think she's hot.

[Zach Amico]

Brothers and sisters.

[Josh Barnett]

Nothing wrong with that.

[Zach Amico]

Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to put your hands like a Coke. Thank you, rattlesnake. I have no. I have no problem with a transgendered woman if she's hot. When you go to Starbucks, they have an agenda where they want to hire the most disgusting trannies on earth.

[Maddie Smith]

Trans fats there, dude.

[Zach Amico]

They hand you your. Your drink. You're like, can you just please do something? I got, like, chinned hair and still. I'm just saying, dude, if you're gonna be. They look like Zach. They. Literally. Every trans that works at Starbucks looks like Zach. And this is not a hateful thing. This is just saying.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Become instantly cuter by just saying you're the opposite sex.

[Zach Amico]

I don't think so. I think it's actually grosser. I think a gross. A gross autistic guy being a guy that he could learn to be funny. He could learn to play an instrument. He could become a fighter, possibly. Guys have a path to being attractive based off of personality. Once you jump into the woman category, nobody's expecting you to have any personality. We just want you to be hot. And if you have. I mean, that's true.

[Maddie Smith]

It is pretty sick.

[Zach Amico]

But it's. It's a. I'm just saying there's no hate here. If you want to cut your dick off, you know, if you. If you want to keep your dick and just tuck it. If you're hot, I'm saying it's above board. Good for you. I'm not jumping in.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

If you're going to be anything, be hot.

[Zach Amico]

Right? Be hot. That's really it, you know?

[Josh Barnett]

Did she go ribs before dick and balls?

[E]

I think so.

[Zach Amico]

I think this is all. I think you're being. I think you're. You got.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Got Shannon, but I'm going to show you six ribs.

[E]

This is. This is before the surgery.

[Zach Amico]

She's fat.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're right, she's fat. They just did ozempic and said I took ribs out.

[Maddie Smith]

She's pretty squishy for being a dude.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, she does have some hips.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

If they're on a bunch of estrogen, this would.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, those hips don't lie ironically. So. So. But is it confirmed that Shannon, can you actually just. Just simply do a Google or a chat GPT search? Can you actually have 6 ribs removed.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

From you and live and not turn into a human accordion?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, Right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Slinky your way down the steps.

[Zach Amico]

What if. What if because she's actually a dude, it made six women. She's like, oh, no.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, we love our biblical jokes. Yes.

[Zach Amico]

Yes. It's possibly to have. It's possible to live and have six years moved, but it is considered very risky and a dangerous procedure.

[Maddie Smith]

Look at her. I had 200 ribs. Two. Six ribs removed to look like cartoon of sorts.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, this is another. This is another person that did it.

[Maddie Smith]

Okay, let's see if your body is.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Is just so extreme.

[Maddie Smith]

I mean, teeny, teeny tiny ways.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Maddie Smith]

Why? What made you want to have this physique?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, what can I say?

[Zach Amico]

You started off more, you know, like, she's so cool and interesting. I didn't, you know, just start with this randomly.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Okay, maybe I did.

[Zach Amico]

I don't know.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, she can't even.

[Zach Amico]

She can't even. She rules. You shut up, Josh. She rules.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

She can't even move.

[Zach Amico]

She's great. You don't disrespect this angel. She's a wonderful. Yes, she's smart, attractive woman, gorgeous, artistic.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

As a child, I always used to.

[Zach Amico]

Draw and she has so much Botox.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You can't even see. Kind of like living in mouth is mouth fantasy world, but created in my head.

[Zach Amico]

And him.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I had this vision on myself.

[Zach Amico]

How I saw myself a vision. Nobody's ever corrected anything she's ever said, so she's. Her words are all up.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

No, that's right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Fishing.

[Josh Barnett]

What a stupid.

[Maddie Smith]

Beach.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I started to do plastic surgery.

[Zach Amico]

I was like.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

To be honest, I was against plastic surgeon.

[Zach Amico]

What is her.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

She must be Dutch.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, she's something.

[Zach Amico]

I'm weighing Shannon. See if you can find more women with ribs removed.

[Josh Barnett]

Yeah, because.

[Maddie Smith]

Because they look. They got the incredible mom body.

[Josh Barnett]

Yeah, I feel. It feels like cheating because. Don't girls do the waist trainer. Like.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, I don't think those were.

[Josh Barnett]

Dino Von Teese had like no waist. Like those burlesque chicks that do it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Every day, they say like those corset. The. If you do it all the time, it will actually.

[Josh Barnett]

Yeah. They have skeleton at the, the. The bodies. The Mooter Museum.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, the Mooter Museum in Philly.

[Josh Barnett]

They have of ladies that I think had the waist and they show how their bodies.

[Zach Amico]

She's like, she's like. My mooder was against this.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

My motor.

[Josh Barnett]

I was touched by my father.

[Zach Amico]

My fooder. My father. Yeah. I mean, look, if a girl's gonna deform her body for the sake of beauty, I kind of respect it in a weird way. Like there was the old. Like the Chinese girls that would like.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, bind their feet.

[Zach Amico]

Bind their feet. Right.

[Maddie Smith]

Make their necks tall.

[Zach Amico]

The African chicks would make their necks tall or put the big old bone in their lip. I like that. Dude. Dude. When I was a kid, I used to. Because you would just want to see nudity as a kid. How old are you, Josh? You're probably around my age.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

47.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, you're a lot older than me. Never mind. You just look way better than me. Yeah, I'm 42, but I remember, like, it's just anything to see.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Tits.

[Josh Barnett]

Yeah.

[Maddie Smith]

Like a little National Geographic Victoria's Secret tits.

[Josh Barnett]

Heavy hangers.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Hanging down to their stomach.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I had a weird fetish for dog ear tits for a long time.

[Maddie Smith]

Well, that's good for me.

[Zach Amico]

Yep. Maddie, do your tits hang low?

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, because I was thick. They wobble to and throw. Wobble to and fro. Because I was. I was bigger. And when you lose weight. Okay, I got like post baby tits.

[Zach Amico]

You got post baby tits. What do you do about. How do we fix that?

[Maddie Smith]

Just turn the lights off.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Duct tape.

[Maddie Smith]

Duct tape Push up bra.

[Josh Barnett]

You tie floss around both her nipples then hang them over her neck.

[Maddie Smith]

Exactly.

[Zach Amico]

Is it like. Is there like a tit lift? There is a tit lift.

[Maddie Smith]

If you're gonna get a tit lift, you're probably gonna have to get an implant as well. Because I don't have enough tit to lift.

[Zach Amico]

There's not enough.

[Maddie Smith]

Because even if I do a push up bra, it's. There's nothing.

[Zach Amico]

There's nothing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's just.

[Maddie Smith]

It's very crepey. Like crepe. Like very crepey.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Josh Barnett]

No, no, you have crappy tips.

[Maddie Smith]

My bad. I was like that girl with the ribs moved.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Maddie Smith]

Couldn't figure out how to Pronounce word.

[Josh Barnett]

Maddie, you have crappy pits. Oh, like a French pancake. Yeah, yeah, I get it.

[Zach Amico]

Exactly.

[Maddie Smith]

A delicacy.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, me. So are you ever gonna. Let's. This is it. Is that you on the left, Maddie? Is that kind of what it's like on the left?

[Maddie Smith]

But even less filler.

[Zach Amico]

Less filled.

[Maddie Smith]

They're like, empty.

[Zach Amico]

So I dated a girl like that.

[Maddie Smith]

Like, it's old.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Old Sunkiss Pouches.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, Capri Suns.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, Capri Suns.

[Maddie Smith]

That's why I say my sister. Two Capri Suns empty. And they used to be big. Big milkers.

[Zach Amico]

Big beautiful milkers. How big were you?

[Maddie Smith]

Over 200. You were over 207? Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Jesus Christ.

[Maddie Smith]

When Irish people gain weight, it's like.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He was a guard.

[Maddie Smith]

I don't want to be that guy. But like, on the left. But even with. With even more.

[Zach Amico]

With even more.

[Maddie Smith]

Like from the side. My side boob is, like, resting on my.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Like an Edward Gorey picture.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, Sad. Salvador Dali.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

The painting.

[Zach Amico]

The melting clocks.

[Maddie Smith]

Melting Tits are melting. It's all good. If I come into some money, I'll lift. I'll lift and film.

[Zach Amico]

I don't think it's that expensive at this point.

[Maddie Smith]

I say five to ten.

[Zach Amico]

Five to ten?

[Maddie Smith]

That's not bad.

[Zach Amico]

You can afford that?

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, we'll see. Maybe save up for the end of the year.

[Zach Amico]

Maddie, come on.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Take donations.

[Zach Amico]

Are you self conscious about your tits?

[Maddie Smith]

More so I. I just get annoyed because there's some shirts I would love to wear, but I can't with my tits. String bikini, like, not happening.

[Josh Barnett]

Yeah, like a T shirt that says I have awesome tits.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah. Can you wear that?

[Zach Amico]

Ah. All right, let's talk about this. Progresso launches soup, drops a hard candy. That's a soup you can suck on.

[Maddie Smith]

Saw that.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon goes. She goes, this is a Dem story. And you know, I will give it a Shannon's retarded ass story of the week. Shannon, do you have that drop ready to go or do we get rid of that?

[Maddie Smith]

You can suck on.

[E]

If you give it one second.

[Zach Amico]

You think you have it.

[E]

I didn't find. I don't want to take credit for it. I didn't find it. Jorge found it.

[Zach Amico]

Jorge found it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Can't wait for the fucking.

[E]

We can still blame it on you, though.

[Zach Amico]

I don't. Dude, I love soup.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm a. Yeah, but I like soup. As soup, not as a hard candy.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, but you got to take soup on the go.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Maybe that every grandma in the world is now going to swap out those fucking sugar free. Whatevers for hard candy.

[Maddie Smith]

Ooh, yeah. Does mean that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Here you go, Sonny. What is this? French onion?

[Zach Amico]

Because Louis loves giving shit to his producer, Shannon. All right, this is a. What are the flavors of the soup, Shannon?

[E]

So here's a. Here's.

[Zach Amico]

Can we order them right now?

[E]

Well, they're sold out. Which you'll see here in this Instagram post.

[Zach Amico]

They're sold out. Oh, that's disgusting.

[E]

It's chicken noodle soup flavored, and it comes with a can of chicken noodle soup.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Great.

[Maddie Smith]

Oh, cool.

[Zach Amico]

Or it comes in a can of chicken noodle soup.

[E]

All right, it said. It said it comes with no a can in the article.

[Zach Amico]

It doesn't come with a can, Shannon. You read it wrong. It comes inside of a. A soup can, which was a fun packaging for this, which I really like.

[E]

I'm gonna find it now.

[Zach Amico]

Don't try to prove me wrong. Can I be right?

[Maddie Smith]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Maddie Smith]

She highlighted it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Progresso. Traditional chicken.

[Zach Amico]

Is it just chicken noodle soup? Because they should have a whole line of soups.

[Josh Barnett]

I was thinking 16. Maybe a broth one. If you're doing your bone broth cleanse.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, if you're on a cleanse.

[Zach Amico]

I am. I'm on a. I'm on a. I'm on a. I'm doing a 24 hour fast right now because I. This morning, I was just at the airport, and the Canadian airports, they just suck.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

They have nothing. They have nothing going on. There's no, like, good restaurants. So I literally. I was at a Tim Hortons. Worst coffee on the planet, Tim Hortons. And I got a blueberry muffin, and I felt like a fatty. I just ate this blueberry muffin. And then I was like, well, if I'm gonna do this, I was like, I might as well get a bag of M M's. And I ate some M M's and I went down a whole path.

[Maddie Smith]

Okay, so now we're taking a day off.

[Zach Amico]

24 hour cleanse. I got to get back. That was crazy. I was doing. So I'm working out. I'm doing. I. I did a 72 hour fast last week, and I felt great afterwards. I had abs at. Maddie, I'll show you my abs.

[Maddie Smith]

I want to see your abs, Matt.

[Zach Amico]

You want to see the.

[Maddie Smith]

I feel like after a long weekend, I always just pound food.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's like, he's going to show you his abs and his dick too. But it's. But to see the abs.

[Maddie Smith]

It's okay. I want to see the abs. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I mean, look, Maddie, this Is the end of a 72 hour.

[Maddie Smith]

Look at Lewis.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Look at that.

[Maddie Smith]

Look at that.

[Zach Amico]

Jacked. Damn, dude, if you saw me right now, it looks like my. I look.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You got a blue belt. You're Jack.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, dude, I got blue balls.

[Josh Barnett]

Blueberry muffin.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You' you're basically Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[Zach Amico]

But yeah, I. I just had a moment, dude. The fat. The fat guy returns. And when it returns, it returns with a vengeance. It was just crazy. I was like, blueberry muffin. I was like, well, that's not enough sugar. And I got a bag. It wasn't even M M's. It was a bag of. It was a bag of mixed M M's. I've never seen anything like this. Okay, it was M M's, peanut M M's and peanut butter.

[Maddie Smith]

I've never seen that in my life before.

[Zach Amico]

And you, you just like, put them in your mouth like. It was wild.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, wild.

[Zach Amico]

And I never eat candy anymore. At all.

[Maddie Smith]

Dude, you just. You just had a little, little itch.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. You know, Josh, you. I mean, obviously you're. You're an athlete, so you gotta like, stay fit. Do you. Or do you have those days where you go off?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You know what? Candy's never really been my thing. Although, like a really killer cookie or like some kind of donut. I mean, every now and again that is just the. The hit, right? You gotta have some ice cream, whatever.

[Zach Amico]

Right? But donut ice cream on top of donuts? I invented that. Yeah, let it be known. Let it be known. I invented it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's a Gomez.

[Zach Amico]

It's a Gomez Original. Dude, do you take a. You take a. What do they call them? Not the original Krispy Kreme. No, no, Old fashioned. An old fashioned donut.

[Maddie Smith]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, just the cake. Old fashioned donut. Throw it in the microwave for 40 seconds.

[Josh Barnett]

That's way too long.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

At least you can be proud of that eventually. At least.

[Maddie Smith]

15, 20.

[Zach Amico]

No, no, you need about 35, 40 seconds. You got to get it nice and hot because you throw the ice cream.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

On top and you want to melt over it.

[Zach Amico]

Let it melt over it.

[Maddie Smith]

Oh, higher.

[Zach Amico]

I can start my fast.

[Maddie Smith]

What kind of ice cream? Vanilla.

[Zach Amico]

I mean, you want a little bit of chunkiness to it, you know?

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, I need a little like a.

[Zach Amico]

Cookie dough or like one of those.

[Maddie Smith]

I like fish food.

[Zach Amico]

You like fish? Actual fish food, though?

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, yeah, that's my ice cream.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. No, I not, not sweets, but like, I do love, like, great baked goods in the morning, especially, like the croissants and all. That kind of. And you know, just honestly, you can eat healthy food. Food to an extreme degree. That could be too much too like.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Eating huge ass steaks and potatoes.

[Zach Amico]

I, I had such good food in Montreal this past weekend.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah? What'd you have?

[Zach Amico]

I did, I did have. I did have poutine. Yeah, I went. Got poutine to smoke, but you have to, you have to go get a smoke.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, poutine, smoked meat sandwich. Some sort of escort.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, no, I, I went to a really beautiful.

[Josh Barnett]

It was escort. Guys go.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I knew you were looking for an escort go. Joke in there. I, I saw it. When Zach starts thinking of a joke is I start switching like a. Like. Yeah, no, I went to an amazing French restaurant called Monarch. Monarch and just really like high end, beautiful food. Now last time I went to Montreal, I said no money. So I remember just being with my friends, being like, dude, food up here sucks. Montreal food sucks. But then you go to like nice restaurants there and it is like some of the best food. Food on earth. Like, really, really good. I went to a great restaurant in Ottawa. Dude, I'm a sucker for it. Just a great restaurant. I had a great restaurant. This caviar, it was like cat. A layer of caviar, a layer of dill, and then like some other like cream and then you'd put it on these little. Oh, it's that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Good food. Good food is something. It's. It's a, it's a, it's a moment to savor. Right? Because it's not just the taste of the food and all that. It's the presentation, you know, the ambiance. But so there'll be this whole idea around that, that restaurant or even, you know, it could even be like, like this street cart. Like that is just unreal. Like there's a one that does wagu a. Like a five wagu ribs in Japan. And then it's just depend. They'll. They'll list what weight of rib that they have and you can purchase it and then they buy the weight. That's how much it costs. So like, I don't remember what the size of the one I got was, but this is from a street cart thing, like a food truck.

[Zach Amico]

Wow.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And they're all smoked wagyu ribs.

[Zach Amico]

I'm getting so hungry.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They were like, it was like 80 bucks for this.

[Zach Amico]

Wow.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But it was delicious.

[Zach Amico]

The best.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. I. The thing about you going to a restaurant, like, it's visual, it's a smell. It accentuates like the whole experience you know what I'm saying? So if you're on a date with a chick, you go to a nice restaurant, whatever it is, you're sort of like you're hammering the entire experience into all of your senses. That's why I love it, dude. That's why I miss drinking for that reason, too.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Like, I. Dude, you said a bourbon. I was like, dude, I would love to try your bourbon. Been. I. I'm. It's not that. It's not a hard, fast rule. I'll have a drink if I go out and do something special, but I was just drinking too much. But, yeah, dude, just a. A nice. A nice glass of wine.

[Maddie Smith]

When you sit down on your, like, empty stomach. Best mood of my life.

[Zach Amico]

When you're about to go on a.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Great dude in the morning, you can replace all your. Your expensive dinner dates with just Progresso soup candies.

[Zach Amico]

That's perfect.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

There you go.

[Zach Amico]

Dude, I can walk around.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. No French onions.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Is there you can do that with, really, any food? It's got to be soup.

[Maddie Smith]

No, you can have any spaghetti.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, that's. That's the future.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Sardines and toast.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

All right, before we get out of here, we'll do one more of these here. Let's go to. Does it live or does it die? Shannon. Does it live or does it die?

[E]

Okay, so this took place in China. There was a boy who dropped a firework down a sewer. And this is what a boy.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon. Shannon, I told you not to show us children dying.

[E]

Oh, but I. I mean, he. Maybe he lives.

[Zach Amico]

Maybe he lives. We'll be the judge of this, obviously. I thought it was gonna be Chinese music, just gonna. Oh, my God.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He lived.

[Zach Amico]

Josh. Like, I've killed the Chinese. Yeah. That kills a lot.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's really durable. Let me tell you. They. You could make. If you made tires out of Chinese children, they would never. They would never wear out.

[Maddie Smith]

They have nine rives.

[Zach Amico]

I like it. One more time. Jesus Christ, dude.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's brilliant.

[Maddie Smith]

I would say he lived because he's a kid.

[Zach Amico]

One more time.

[Josh Barnett]

Are you saying there's something they eat that would give them nine lives?

[Zach Amico]

How many times did he flip? One more time. He did a full two flips. A full two flips. I'm gonna say that he lives only because I don't think Shannon would show us child death. I specifically told her not to show us child death. What's the last child death you showed us? And I was like, what are you doing?

[Josh Barnett]

Oh, the little. The. The kids that got buried on the beach.

[E]

But you also get mad when. When I show you too many. Where people live. So I don't know.

[Zach Amico]

Well, you can't. Does it live or does it die? We have to play the game, Shannon.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm going live also. Not just for the hope of it, but also seeing how relaxed he was when he was flying through the air.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Josh Barnett]

I go live because I feel like it's the same reason drunk people survive.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's what I'm talking about.

[Josh Barnett]

Because they just rag dolled.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, totally.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. And you know, we. I've seen Jackie Chan movies.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. They know what they're doing here. Yeah, well, so I. Well, I'm gonna vote. Lived. Lived. Live.

[Maddie Smith]

Live.

[E]

He did live.

[Zach Amico]

He lived.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

Thank God. Thank God.

[E]

Rushed to the hospital where he is expected to survive.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He's.

[Zach Amico]

He's not. No, we don't know that he lives, Shannon.

[E]

He's alive right now.

[Zach Amico]

If he dies, then it's. Then if he dies, he dies. Cool.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I just watched a dead kid.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon, you. We. He. This happened recently?

[E]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

When did this happen?

[E]

Let's see. Friday. Last Friday.

[Maddie Smith]

Damn.

[E]

Jesus Christ in China.

[Maddie Smith]

Damn.

[E]

But he's fine. He's great.

[Zach Amico]

What type of firework was that? That's crazy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, it just ignited all these farts, I guess, you know.

[Josh Barnett]

Oh, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Maybe that's what it was.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, like too much Seshuan beef. And that's true.

[Zach Amico]

Well, Shannon, thanks for bumming me out now at the end of the show.

[E]

He's fine.

[Zach Amico]

He's fine.

[Josh Barnett]

Maybe they'll be making iPhones again in no time.

[Zach Amico]

Don't worry.

[Maddie Smith]

Yeah, seriously, it's all good.

[Josh Barnett]

We're all good.

[Maddie Smith]

Tiny little hands.
