Episode Overview

This episode of Zac Amico’s Morning Zoo is a riotous, fast-paced blend of offbeat news, wild road stories, and unfiltered stand-up comedy banter. Zac is joined by respected comics Jim Florentine and Geno Bisconte for bruising drive-time talk, including the horrors of Carnival cruises, nostalgia for weird vacations, legendary comedy dirtbag tales, dark Howard Stern retrospectives, and a brisk descent into pro wrestling mayhem. The show’s tone is raw, anarchic, and unapologetically blue, with memorable quotes and stories that capture the spirit of morning radio—in all the ways it shouldn’t be.

Final Notes

For fans of roast-style humor, inside baseball on the comedy world, and absolute morning-radio mayhem, this episode delivers. Jim and Geno bounce effortlessly between filth, nostalgia, and sharp commentary, aided by Zac’s gleefully wrong energy. The show’s recurring ethos: nothing is sacred, everything is on the table, and in the world of degenerate comics, the wildest story always wins.

Memorable Quote:

All right, ladies and gentlemen, you know, let's, let's keep it in the theme of the show. Believe it or not, gentlemen, another fight is broken out on a Carnival Cruise line. I don't know if you've caught this, Jim. Carnival Cruise is gained a reputation of a Waffle House type variety where, you know, I don't have a better way of putting this. There used to be a Tumblr called Black people versus fast food and the tagline was Chicken tenders Catnip for black people. And I wish this wasn't the headline that I'm about to read to you. Fight breaks out on Carnival Cruise over chicken tenders. So let's, let's check it out. Shannon security is crazy.

[C]

You know, that never happened when they were in the bottom of the ship rowing. Never happened. Once never happened.

[A]

Once is a wild, wild thing to be on vacation and get in a full fist fight.

[B]

Yeah, I took my kid on a Carnival cruise about a year ago. It was like a last minute thing. It was sort of like Easter break. Like we're gonna have to do Carnival. I've never been on it before and I was like halfway through, I'm like, you want to just jump off? Like we just both jump off together. We might get saved. It was pretty bad. I'm like, damn.

[C]

Yeah, I've heard there's like, like, because a lot of comics are doing the cruise ships now and they say like, well, they start you out on Carnival, you know, and then you work your way up. That's what I've heard.

[A]

I. I've been. Have you guys done Cruise the cruises? I did the metal cruise with Big.

[B]

Yeah, I do the Hard Rock cruise, the Monster Rock cruise. I won't do a regular cruise.

[A]

Ye.

[B]

I'd rather work at Home Depot than do that.

[C]

Watch yourself. I won't do one either. They are calling all the time, begging for my.

[A]

It's the thing. It's not.

[B]

I know.

[A]

It's the idea of being locked with the people.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, man, this better go good or I have to see you. Every time I go out of my room and I've had friends. It's fact. They have to be super clean.

[C]

I'm told you don't even have to be super clean anymore. You have to be clean on the first set and then at the end, you could. That might be Carnival, though. Terrible.

[B]

You have to do like two clean sets and, like three dirty sets.

[A]

You can do three.

[B]

Whatever you want, but you have to do five sets over the course of the week. And then also the people keep coming back to see you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And once they see the jokes, then I'd like, no, we're gonna come back. And then they come back and they're leaving halfway through the show. I just saw this. So you can't stop them from not coming back.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

For the comic. It's a nightmare.

[C]

Every time you say back. I think of one of the first jokes I saw you do Decades, when it's like he buys the girl a drink at a bar and then she's like. He's like, here you go, yeah, I'm going to go talk to my friends. Yeah, but I just bought you a drink. Yeah, but I'm going to go talk to my friends. Sorry. So I hit the drink out of her hands and said sorry back.

[B]

I forgot about that one. How do you forget I'm out to bring that one.

[A]

I whacked it out and I go, sorry, backers.

[B]

Take a bit of my accent.

[C]

So clever on so many levels.

[A]

You know, it's evergreen. It is.

[B]

It really is. It doesn't. You know, I think it's more still holding drinks in a bar.

[A]

And drinks are way more money now.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And women and. And now I would argue the way, like white liberal women are, people would root for you even more to do it.

[B]

I would never buy a white liberal woman a drink. You wouldn't just nowhere.

[C]

You couldn't just say sorry back now.

[B]

I just, you know.

[A]

Those, those Carnival Cruise. I mean, you don't want to say it. You got it. It's not I think it's a classic. They're the reason they're the cheapest ones.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So the people on it maybe are not the best.

[C]

Speak for yourself.

[A]

You don't want to say they're not the best behaved. And when I think about like when you guys were kids, we're. I just remember vacations being very stressful. Like my. It was like my dad's one week off a year and it better go fucking good.

[B]

Yeah. I don't know. We used to drive down to Florida in a station wagon or whatever. Yeah. A bunch of us and my grandma lived like on the beach in Fort Lauderdale. So. I mean, a drive in was a bitch.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Down there 24 hours or whatever. But like that. I remember having fun on it. But yeah, I remember him, you know, being a little cranky when we were driving.

[A]

Militant fun is what I would call it.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. There's seven of us, so we're fucking, you know, he's fucking aggravated. He's driving the whole way. My mother was driving. Wow. Yeah.

[C]

Did your mother drive?

[B]

I don't think she did. I think my dad just said like, I'll take care of it.

[C]

But I mean my. We would do the same thing, but it was just four of us. Me and my brother and my mom and dad. And my mom never had a license. It was old school Jersey.

[B]

Right.

[C]

And my dad would drive like this. We had a. We. My mom always loved having these old Lincoln Continentals.

[A]

So.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, we drove this.

[C]

It was great.

[A]

I mean, that's like taking a boat. Yeah.

[C]

It was as a simpler time though. It really was.

[B]

My parents used to do whoever had the best report car would get the best seat in the car out of the seven because what were you on the hood? I never. I was like that third seat in the back that faces the other way. You were the most middle. Yeah, yeah. Because I never got a good report card. So I was like, all right, I'm good. I'm hugging the fucking spare tire. I ain't fucking studying this.

[C]

I love it.

[A]

We did one vacation a year, but it was like fucking do or die. Like that vacation better go good.

[B]

Like where would you go?

[A]

I think we did an east coast cruise. So we did like Maine and shit.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Then we did Vegas one year because my dad's friend got married. Real awesome vacation for an 8 year old Vegas wedding. Real trash. I think her name was to the Point. I think their names were like Pat and Trish. Like one of those weddings.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Then we did Alaskan cruise. That was Pretty cool. And that was after my grandpa died. So it was me, my mom, my dad and my grandma. So that my parents could fuck and me and my grandma could all fuck in the other room.

[C]

And well done.

[A]

And then the best vacation was the mall in Canada. Edmonton Mall.

[B]

I'm playing there this weekend.

[A]

The biggest mall. It was the biggest mall. I don't know if it's Edmonton.

[B]

There's a comedy club in the mall. Yeah, yeah. I'm playing there this Friday.

[A]

It's my favorite vacation of my life.

[C]

That's a great setup.

[B]

That was the vacation, dude, that was your favorite? It is as a kid going to a mall and it's huge.

[A]

Yeah. And I'm. I was like perfect. I was maybe 11 and it was so. It's got hotels inside. It's got apartment buildings inside it.

[C]

I know nothing.

[A]

It's a big dome, so it's climate controlled. So we went in the dead of winter. It was like negative something out. It was a perfect, like 70 inside. You can see the snow through the dome.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

And there was like multiple movie complexes, a water park, an amusement park, a hockey rink. Pirate ship at a pirate show. Dude. They had like their own Bourbon Street. Dude. It's fucking awesome.

[C]

Jesus Christ.

[A]

You can't do it in a day.

[C]

How big is that pool?

[A]

It's the biggest indoor wave pool in the world.

[C]

Jesus Christ. How many kids they find stuck in it? They always find a kid stuck in the way.

[A]

No, it's Canada. They all get through.

[C]

They know what a swimming can.

[A]

But dude, it's the best thing. It was the hat. Like, I went. We went to the movies every day. Yeah, because the thing with my parents going on vacation was like fucking. It was like activities like rafting and fucking. We went to Alaska. We had a pan for gold and fucking touristy shit.

[C]

Alaska's beautiful. I was just there.

[A]

The blue water was what? That and Portugal were the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

[C]

I often confuse Alaskan Portugal Happens.

[A]

But yeah, that mall was just the fucking coolest. I want to get booked there so bad. I talk about all the time.

[B]

Reminisce, dude.

[A]

My wife talks about what garbage I am. That's my favorite vacation.

[B]

I don't. I remember the one time I was there like four years ago. I'm like, this is fucking awful.

[C]

Really?

[B]

Yeah. I'm just like. Because I don't hang out of malls anyway.

[C]

And not anymore.

[B]

You know you did when you were a kid, you know, there to pick up girls and stuff, but.

[A]

And then we went during like, it wasn't a vacation time in Canada, so the mall was dead during the day.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It was like being. It was like having it to myself. It was fucking the coolest. Wow. That was a good vacation then. The best, I think. My dad took me to Dragon Con one year. That was fucking awesome. The big horror con in Georgia.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It was two hotels. It was so big. And that was, like, definitely young to horror, too. No, he was just desperately trying to save our relationship. All right. Perfect.

[C]

Which had become a horror show.

[A]

Yeah. No, he would take me to, like, chiller theater and shit. I think he enjoyed the nostalgia parts of it. Like, there would be people from old TV shows and shit.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And he had a friend that worked there, so he would, like, go hang out with him. I watched my uncle pick up a Playboy Playmate, which is fucking sick.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

My uncle Angela walked. She was signed an autograph. She was from the 80s. And I watched in real time him pick her up and take her back. That was a great lesson.

[C]

Did you realize what was going on where you.

[A]

Yeah, I was just old enough to know.

[C]

Nice.

[A]

And, dude, it was such a bad line. Like, she was doing videos for something, and her call letters were rnn. And he goes, what is that, the Registered Nurse Network? And she giggled and he fucked it.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

Nicely done.

[B]

I'm gonna try that line.

[A]

Shout out. Shout out. Angelo Mara, rnn. That was. Dude, you want to talk about nast? I don't know if I've ever told you this floor. Dude, that was my uncle Angelo, who's a psycho. He's a. A psychopath. He was a little redhead, stars tattooed across his knuckles. So that you saw stars before and after he punched you. That was his justification.

[C]

Clever.

[A]

And they used to go to strip clubs back when you would stack coins for the girl. Aids. Yes. And she would pick them up without her hands.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

And my uncle would bring the hand torch from his welding kit.

[C]

Oh, God. Oh, dear. Oh, that's so bad.

[B]

Really?

[A]

And heat up the stack orders and put it on the bar.

[C]

You'd have seared roast beef.

[A]

What a lunatic.

[C]

That's hazard pay.

[A]

I mean, that's pretty funny.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

To us.

[B]

Yeah. There was a strip club when I was, like, 15. We snuck in near my house in Jersey growing up. And we. We got in there somehow. We just hung out in the back by a table, and the bartender didn't say anything. And we saw a girl put a Heineken bottle in her snatch. We're like, holy shit. This is fucking crazy.

[C]

What was the what was the strip club? The Box Car.

[A]

What was that?

[B]

We used to comedy at an all nude strip club club in between the dancers.

[C]

The first time I did it, Norton's like, you haven't done it? Oh yeah. It's like MC in a rape.

[A]

I we did the Hustler club years ago and I just remember all the girls were furious.

[B]

Oh yeah.

[A]

That we were taking up stage time. We did it like an hour at 8 o' clock on a Saturday.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

They were furious.

[C]

That's the A team. I could see you doing like a lunch show on a Tuesday.

[A]

They were trying to pick up guys out of the crowd to go give them lap dances to the comedy.

[B]

Wow. Yeah, we would just do five minute sets and top of the hour, like at 8 o', clock, 9 o', clock, 10 and 11.

[C]

We were like in a moose bush.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And the thing was.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

The backstage area is behind the stage. So as we're up there going, hey, anybody married? There's naked girls going behind to go back, back in the dressing room. Like these guys are getting lap dance. They have no idea there's a comedian, the place is packed and all of a sudden they go, all right. They shut the music off. How you guys doing? Anybody married and guys getting a lap dance who don't get the fuck off the stage. Ruining his heart on was beautiful.

[C]

I think I only did it once.

[B]

And we got free lap dances so in between our sets we'd just be back in the lap dance we did.

[A]

Oh, that's, that's gorgeous.

[C]

I was dating readers so I was.

[B]

Afraid sometimes Norton would miss his set because he was back there so long. We can't find him. He's buried in fucking tits.

I thought. I was just talking about this. Driving back from Comedy Works. I was like, man, I wish there was still jack shacks like the roadside, like, especially like the live girl ones.

[B]

I just was in Amsterdam, they had an old school live one. I know they used to have it at Show World, a bunch of them.

[A]

Yeah, I'm on the turnpike too, though, right?

[B]

I don't remember. I know, in like Philly.

[C]

Yeah, I used to go to the ones in Philly.

[B]

Yeah, for like 295 down there. South Jersey, right on lake.

[C]

Right in Philly. They had them though, too. Yeah, right off 95.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'd be down there and stuff. So we used to go to. I remember I go into it so much. 1 When the screen went up and the girl was on the phone, she goes, I know those balls. Such a regular. Fred Mertz, one of the strippers, came to my show one time, like in the. Down in South Jersey. She's like. She goes. She goes, we thought you worked at the club because you were such a regular. We saw you all the time. I'm like, no, you would just pop in whenever I did a gig.

[C]

It's on my way.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I almost said, it's saved in my.

[B]

I remember, see, because you know what. What happened is gay guys who cruise those places.

[C]

I'll say.

[B]

So a guy, you know, is fucking, you know, is wounded or whatever, like that is horny. A gay guy, hey, look. So I remember Bob Levy, he stayed in the car, said, I'm gonna go in. And Bob's like, yeah, I'm just gonna hang out in the car. And some gay guy was circling the car as Bob sit in the passenger seat and he's pulling up his. And we just did a comedy show across the street. So the guy, he starts smiling at Bob as Bob smiles back, thinking he was at. And then the guy comes around again, smiles. Bob's like, smile. Hey. Waving. The guy's waving, oh, yeah. And then he knocked on the window. He goes, hey, what do you want to do? You want to do something? And Bob's like, what are you talking about? He's like, you know. And Bob's like, they rolled the window up, and when I got in the car, he's like, pull out of here. Get out of here now. He had no idea. It was great. He's like, oh, the guy was at the show. How you doing?

[C]

Please, please tell me if you're listening. You know Bob Levy? It makes it so much funnier. It makes it so. He's such a good dude.

[A]

I got cruised in a wawa. Shitting it. Fucking Arab. It was last year after I just got back from the gathering of the Juggalos. It was last year. We were driving back and we're at a Wawa. And I'm really. It was a bad one. It was a four days of carnival food shit, right? And I hear an Arab guy come in, bakalaka docking on his cell phone, and a very dramatic oops. Like, too much of an oops. And his phone on video mode comes under the stall onto my shoe, and I go, it's cool, dude. I'll kick it out to you. And he goes, no, my friend, I've got. I've got. And he crawled army style. Come on under the door while I'm fully shitting.

[B]

Wow. He wanted to want to give you a blumpkin.

[A]

Looked at me and took my. Looked up at me. I was like, okay, goodbye. And then he waited outside the booth for me the whole time.

[C]

God, what's wrong with people?

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, that was a. It was. It was a bit. It must have been his first day. Yeah, it was a bit. It was a bad call all over.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

By the way, had a blumpkin. Way overrated.

[B]

You had a blumpkin.

[C]

You can't overrate. Zero.

[B]

You can't. I know.

[C]

Why would you want to. Why would anyone want a blumpkin?

[B]

You're just for the story.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Tell the grandkids.

[A]

Yeah. Florence on a podcast, if you don't.

[B]

Have a college diploma, get a blumpkin. It's about the same when you tell the grandkids when you're seven. The porch.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It's.

[A]

The only way I can describe it is it feels like your pelvis is being torn in two different directions.

[B]

Like, okay, yeah, it's.

[A]

You don't know which way to go with and you can't commit to either.

[C]

I would commit to this.

[A]

God. Yeah. The two things I would say, overrated in my life, Blumpkin and a gummer.

[C]

What's a gummer?

[A]

No teeth.

[C]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[A]

Yeah. Gums are sharp. Oh, gums are surprisingly sharp because they.

[B]

Have maybe to have a little piece of the teeth left maybe or they.

[A]

Have like they have something to them.

[C]

Well, the bottom line is if you are a gummer, there's a bone under there. Yeah, you lost. It's called the jawbone. You lost your teeth. Now that I think about it, because of, you know, terrible oral care. So like your gut, it's gingivitis. So the gum.

[A]

She gave terrible oral care too, but.

[C]

The gums probably went so low the teeth fell out and it's just the job. You got a job. You got a jaw boner.

[A]

I got a jaw job. Yeah.

[C]

Jaw job's way better.

[A]

She had a show medical condition where her teeth fell out as per her.

[C]

Yeah, I believe it's called talking back.

[A]

I don't know if I believe it. Stop.

[C]

Stop touching me.

[A]

I have a feeling there may have. It wasn't because she loved Taffy.

[C]

Oh my God.

[A]

All right, let's keep it moving. All right. Well, now that Howard's leaving. Serious, it looks like.

[C]

Yeah. About to say I heard he started. I'll go first because this is all I know. I heard he's. And we all agree he's lost it. He's done. But none of us would be here without him. He. I heard he started the rumor. His staff started the rumor to make him relevant and try and get more money because he can't leave radio unless they make him. Because he's. He doesn't want to. He doesn't know how to live his life. Thoughts?

[A]

I. I feel like people are now hoping his adversaries over the years are hoping this is the time to take him down. I don't know if he's leaving. I don't have any inside information. But now they're trying to. They're trying to play gotcha with them by bringing up old videos which by the way is not that hard. Yeah, but the ones they're going for aren't even the ones you would think, you know, not him and fucking Mr. Jefferson being Ted dancing.

[B]

That was on a pay per view. He did.

[C]

I thought it was channel.

[B]

Not any evil.

[A]

Yeah, not. Not any of the Marge shot stuff, which is what my favorite. Yeah, they're coming after him for a few years ago with him and Sofia Vergara. Did you guys see this?

[B]

Oh yeah, I saw that. They also had the butter face contest. Did you see that? Where they had the girl. I was at that show in Vegas. They were live shows, but when I put a good looking girl with a great body and put a bag over face and then pull it off and give Her. A scale of 1 to 10 or whatever, trying to bring that. That shit was great.

[C]

It still is. Like, the only. Like, the only people that would be offended by this were never Howard fans to begin with, I would imagine. So who cares? And. And, like, if any. Like, you watch it now, and it just makes us. I guess it's Russ, because it doesn't make. It makes us hate him more. It's like, what happened to you? What happened to you? This stuff is great.

[A]

I think it's one of those things. You lose your hunger for it, right? Like, he. You're at the top that long, you forget how to write.

[C]

I think he just.

[A]

There's a reason Billy Joel just does hits, right?

[B]

Look, I always look at it like, hey, man, he put out 10 great albums in the last few. Maybe not as good. So you're going to hate the band because the last, like, four albums weren't that good, but the first ten were great. Go listen to the first ten. All that shit's up on YouTube. All the old shows.

[C]

Yeah, but the last four albums didn't say, get the vaccine. We need to take away people's rights. Why don't you just.

[A]

23 minutes. 23 minutes. Thank you.

[C]

But, I mean, am I wrong? Like, you can't. And I know you're. I know he's. He's been great to you, and I know you banged Robin, but the bottom line is that's. That's losing touch. That's not losing your creative edge. That's like, all right, I'm all in. Overlords. And that. That. I'm going to be honest, a little hurt by that.

[B]

Yeah. But look, everybody. Half the country was saying, good. Get back. Get the vaccine. If you don't, then you should die. All that shit. They didn't know at the time because.

[C]

Of stupid people like Howard Stern.

[B]

Right? But they listen to, you know, when you. When it's coming from the mouthpiece of Foushee. Everyone believed the guy because he was around forever.

[C]

Me and you were pushing.

[B]

Right? I know, but I'm just saying, half the country did believe him.

[A]

And he was also very. He's seduced by celebrity.

[C]

Sure, 80% guy.

[A]

This is not the. This is not the Stern of all. This is the Stern who wants to be a list. He wants to. He wants to be next to Oprah, not an adversary.

[C]

But then he. And. And. And what? What else was I going to say? He wasn't lobbing softballs to Mario Cuomo, who killed old people during COVID Hit it twice on Your Gino bingo card. He wasn't. He wasn't lobbing softballs at Hillary Clinton who said Benghazi happened. Just end it. Like, there are bad albums and there are. What the hell he did. You know what I mean? And that was like, speaking personally. That's when I'm like, I can't forgive this guy. Because he went from like, all right, now I'm going to be a little more middle of the road to win people over. No, now I'm just going full bore. Whatever it takes, you know, to. To, like, fall in line with whatever the narrative is here, like, to get Joe Biden in office. And I'm going to say something. I'm walking here today, and you're going to believe that that Trump guy's on TV again. And it reminded me of the past four years when every day you'd wake up and Joe Biden was on tv, you fucking idiots. And how dumb was Kamala Harris? And I'm sorry, this is what aggravated me. How dumb was Kamala Harris, that Joe Biden who couldn't even. You couldn't even prop him up once a year on tv, couldn't prop him up once a year, that you couldn't let that stupid bitch fucking take over. It's a fucking disgrace what happened to this country those past four years. And another thing, Stern was great. The first 10. I will give you that.

[A]

I would go up to albums. And this is probably just. It's one of those things, like your favorites when you were the right age for it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like they say, like, because I'm always like, season three through ten of the Simpsons is kind of perfect, but that's also. I was the perfect age for those things. For me, it's Stern, right? When he went to Sirius and they did the Revelations. Do you remember that?

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Like, about each beat.

[A]

That was the funniest. I was working on a fucking truck at the time, and we just sat on that. We wasted so many hours of people's time.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And listen, dude, when Art. When they said, who got come on their tits at a party and it was Artie, that was the funniest.

[C]

And the beauty of that was I never listened to Stern early for no other reason than I always had an easy life. I didn't have, like. I didn't have radio. I didn't. I wasn't. When I. When he went to SiriusXM, you would just listen. Driving to gigs, you'd listen to Howard.

[B]

101 because it was on all the day. When he's on regular radio on 6 to 10. So unless you were up at that time, you could. I was every studio like a month into Sirius when he went there, when Jenna Jameson was on the Sibian.

[A]

Nice.

[B]

It was unbelievable.

[C]

How could it not?

[B]

Oh, God.

[A]

That's the fuck.

[C]

Did they destroy the Civian shit or can you.

[B]

He did. He was on that show right before.

[A]

He was on that Civian when no one was looking all oiled up. But yeah, that to me that's like clap like the funny, like dude already coming in on Ash Wednesday, tell the story about his bookie, all that shit. Like that fucking gets. But then I go back and like the Billy west years.

[B]

I love Phenomenal with Jackie the joke, man.

[A]

The mark. I said mark shot. Fucking makes me laugh fucking hard. There's a few Billy west ones that really fucking kill me.

[B]

Billy west was great. He did the Jackie puppet voice, which is phenomenal. And I'll know Billy west was great. He was only on for a few years, like about three years, you know. But this is what's going to happen with Stern. His contract doesn't end till December.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So it's not right now. And you know, serious usually negotiates late. Like a week or two before. They don't negotiate. Six months out, a few months out. He's going to sign a two year deal and I'll be like, this is my last run. Two years and I'm out. And then the last year he'll do like a whole, you know, all the celebrities will come in and do an interview with him because he's leaving radio. So that's what.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Their final interview with Howard.

[B]

Right. And it's going to be for less money, but he's going to go, whatever. I want to take care of my staff. Let his staff know he got two more years and then go find jobs.

[A]

There's gonna be a lot of best of in there.

[B]

Right. So. But yeah, well, he'll still do like 100 shows whatever he does. And that's what it's going to be. Because the article didn't say he's leaving. They just said Siri's gonna offer him low money. He's probably not going to take it.

[A]

It.

[B]

So it didn't say that they're getting rid of him.

[C]

I. And I think he's so set in his ways. Like he's Stern. He'd make so much more money. Am I wrong? Feel free to correct me if he just started his own podcast.

[B]

Not even close.

[C]

No.

[A]

You don't think I don't think he wants. Okay, he has no interest.

[C]

No, I don't think he has any interest, but I'm wrong and I don't.

[A]

Think the money's there.

[B]

If he made. If he makes a hunt. Let's just say he makes 100 million. That's a reported a year at Serious. If he did his own podcast, he'd make 7 million.

[C]

Okay, but I'm saying he's not going.

[B]

To get Rogan numbers and he's not going to.

[C]

I thought he would, like, just with. But I agree with you just. And I don't. I'm not saying bas. I don't think he's going to make 100 million. I'm saying they're probably going to offer him a lot less, but I'm willing to admit him wrong on that. I don't understand how a lot of that works, but I just thought.

[B]

Yeah, no, he. He wants to, like, he's old school. He wants to walk in a studio, turn a mic on without a doubt and not do anything and just have it broadcast out. If he does his own podcast, he can't have a staff of 95 people.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So he has to get rid of, like, you know, he can have a staff of maybe seven with a podcast. And those restaurant people are going to get fired. That's why he's not going to do a podcast.

[C]

Yeah, you're.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

And then you got to get the advertiser. It's all that shit. He's. He doesn't want to do that. He just turns the mic on. Sirius does all the work.

[C]

I couldn't agree more.

[B]

You're right. Yeah.

[A]

Well, yeah, please, let's.

[B]

That's a funny clip.

[A]

Let's bring up this. Thank you, Jim.

[C]

And this is what they're dragging up.

[B]

Did you breastfeed your son?

[A]

Yes, of course.

[B]

Oh, that must have been unbelievable.

[A]

That wasn't unbelievable.

[C]

I was like 19.

[A]

I had so much milk, right?

[C]

Oh my gosh, how much milk?

[A]

You imagine how much milk was going back here?

[C]

Oh, come on.

[A]

I'm respecting you all over the place.

[C]

What do you think she was feeding a village? She was only feeding one baby.

[A]

That kid must have been fat from.

[B]

Eating all that milk. I would love to feed from you.

[A]

If you don't want to go out.

[C]

With me, then at least let me feed from your chest.

[A]

But I'm not pregnant now.

[C]

Oh, that can be arranged.

[A]

Yeah, it's funny as.

[C]

Who cares?

[B]

That's all of his interviews.

[A]

But that's every interview. Every girl's also giggling like, yeah, Stephanie McMahon, the most stone faced woman goes on there and she's giggling and having a blast. Yeah, they know the fucking score.

[B]

The best one ever was Julia Roberts had to come in the studio. This is like in the 90s. She's the biggest star in the world. It was because of a charity thing. Robin was at her charity event and, and bid and she's like, okay, I have to come in the show because you bid a lot of money. So she comes in and there's no way she wanted to be there. And he's asking her if she's got a landing strip down there. He's shaving, I mean, just at the balls. As an A list actress, you need to see her face.

[C]

The A list.

[B]

And then he's asking third input. Are you a third input woman?

[A]

It's just genius.

[C]

Genius, third input. And you said genius, which it is. But again, oh, I love it.

[B]

And she's like, I don't even know what that is. And Fred's playing the fart noise in the background. Nothing funnier.

[A]

It's just a different. The way I always explain it. Cause I have, you know, like, my chick hates Howard. Her family hates Howard. I'm like, yeah, none of you have ever had to fucking get up at 4:30 to go fucking put pallets on a truck. Like that's how we spoke to each other. And that shock humor or whatever cut through your day. And you would laugh about it and you go, Holy shit, it's 10 and 8, 10am already.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I used to work on a construction site and we'd listen to him and I said, listen, no power saws or no. No drills or anything like that. When the show's on, you do it during a 10 minute commercial. So no one's allowed to put a fucking chainsaw or anything on until the commercial break. You got 10 minutes. Now do the shit. Because I wanted to hear it. I had the radio on the roof as I'm roofing, I had in my ear. It was great.

[A]

So as somebody worked on truck my whole. I grew up working for my uncle on a thuman's truck. And that fucking Howard was the day.

[B]

Yeah. Stuck in traffic in just less than a 10 weeks. Right.

[A]

And then I. Because I would run home for o when I was a kid because that was. That was right when I was out of school too. My life was scheduled around that.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. Between the two.

[A]

I think that's what made me want to be a comic was listening to fucking you, Jim Voss telling stories.

[B]

That's what it was with radio. Like you had to just be the craziest stories. That's how you're gonna get the amount.

[A]

Of people I've taught to throw the chair out of the hotel room.

[B]

Oh yeah. Put all the furniture in the hallway.

[C]

Oh yeah, yeah. Or stack it all on the bed. So they came in there.

[B]

Yeah. Put your suitcase on.

[C]

You take all the furniture and this is. You take all the furniture out of one room and you put it in the other room.

[B]

Yeah. You put it in the MC's room.

[C]

The MC.

[B]

You're not getting laid anyway.

[C]

Yeah. Then they'd had to.

[B]

I remember me and Levy were moving furniture out of the room in the emcee's room. And people thought we worked there. Some guy's like, hey, we need towels down here? I go, we don't fucking work here.

[A]

My favorite dawn you told is Levy giving his key to the girl. And then you had to drive him. And there was no cell phones. And he gets there. There was another guy in the bed.

[C]

Oh yeah. And he slept there. Anyway.

[A]

Can you do a brief version? It just makes me so happy. Please.

[B]

So we're in Baltimore and Levy's all fucked up on stage. He's killing as usual.

[A]

He used to give out room. He used to ask for extra room keys.

[B]

Yeah. To give to girls because he didn't want to go out. He didn't want to Put the work in. He's like, just go out and then come back to my room.

[A]

Now. Forgive me. Is this the same era as when he would ask to be brought up as this next guy? Just got cast on Friends as Joey's brother?

[B]

I never heard that.

[C]

I never heard that either.

[A]

Oh, I've heard stories where he would tell the emcee because, like, if he saw, like, a bachelorette party, like, young chicks who. There's no way they were gonna know who he was, he would say, yeah, just say that I just got cast on the new season of Friends, and I'm gonna be Joey Tribbiani's brother.

[C]

That and props to that. Because when you hear that, you're like, oh, what's he trying. Bob would never do that. Be like, make a fake credit. Oh, he's trying to fuck a bachelorette party.

[A]

Yeah, who knows?

[C]

Kudos. Sorry to interrupt you, buddy.

[B]

Yeah, I don't know. I never heard that one. But. So he's on stage, he's killing. He's flirting with this girl in a crowd, and he's like, I want to hook up issues. I'll hook up with you. He's like, really? Goes, all right. He does his last joke. He walks off stage, and the girl's like, in the second row. He goes right over to. And they start making out in front of the crowd. As soon as he walked off stage, and the place is going nuts. So he's talking to her and she goes, hey, I'm with my friends, but here's my hotel room. I'll see you later. Come by, you know, we're going to go out for like another hour. So he gets the hotel. It wasn't in our hotel. So I dropped. Drop him off there. He goes, I'll see you in the morning. Yeah, okay. Good luck. He's like, yeah, whatever. He knocks on the door. It's like an hour later, and some dude open, opens the door. And the guy said he believe. He's like, who are you? And the guy's like, who are you? It's like, who are you? Who are you? And he sees the girl on the bed. Because you see the bed. And the girl's like, oh. He's like, who is this guy? And. And Levy's like, I was a comedian at the show. She told me to show. Come here. And the guy's like, yeah, well, I just met her in a bar and I'm here, so you gotta leave. Believe. He's like, I'm not leaving. And the guy's like, well, I'M not leaving either. He's like to move out of the way. So Levy sits in the chair in the corner of the room. As the guy goes back in the bed with the girl, he goes, that I ain't leaving either. And then at one point in the middle of the night, he goes, this. I'm going in the bed. They were both sleeping. He slept in the bed with the couple. And they woke up in the morning. The guy's like, who is this guy? And Levy was still sleep. She's like, I don't know. I don't know who he is. And Levy wakes up. I was the comedian last night. You don't remember me?

[C]

She probably didn't.

[B]

I'm. What a maniac. That goes, I'm gonna sleep in the bed with them too. He wouldn't leave either.

[A]

It's the. The belligerence of not leaving. Yeah, it's not. He was gonna get late. It was that you. He couldn't call you.

[B]

Yeah. I would have been like, all right, that's a funny story or whatever. But.

[A]

No, but this is pre phone.

[B]

Yeah, it was pre phone. So unless he could have called the hotel and got my room or whatever. There was another time where he thought he was gonna pick up this girl. He was all coked out. I got, bob, she's not coming back to your room. He gave her the room key. I go. I. Believe me, I was sober. She ain't coming back. She was just placating you. Go. So I'm telling you, she is. It's. He's in the room next to me. I ordered a hooker to his room at like fucking 3:30 in the morning. I went, yeah. And fucking. And I just hear him go, I'm not. I didn't order you. No, no. Get out of here. I'm not paying you. Fuck you. You have to. I'm not paying you. I didn't order you. Leave. The next day, I go, bob, what happened? He go, I heard you arguing. He goes, this girl? I go, yeah, it was amazing. What a fucking asshole.

[A]

By the way, to show you how different my careers, I did a at Comedy Works last weekend. Also had a bachelorette party. Bachelorette in her late 60s.

[C]

Nice.

[B]

This is in Saratoga.

[A]

Saratoga.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Bachelorette party. I think the youngest was in her late 50s.

[B]

Really?

[A]

The whole table? Yep. Dead center, front row.

[C]

Had to be a second marriage at least.

[A]

Oh, boy. That was my first question.

[B]

Yeah, but they probably weren't annoying like the great. Yeah, great. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

They wanted to have fun and. Oh, Boy, did old ladies hit on us after the show. Dude, I sat there, like, the couches outside.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

This fucking lady in front of her, what I think was her husband melted on. I mean, wrapped her legs around me and laid down and closed her eyes on my chest and started talking about people like, you never come around here. And then my buddy Alex, who opens for me, does a bit about liking feet. This old bitch just walks up, kicks his shoes off, and she's like, I have to know what you think of my feet.

[B]

Wow. I've been there a bunch of times. That's never happened with me.

[A]

Just old hags.

[B]

Yeah. I don't want them, the old hags.

[A]

Anyway, for the resume you got, I mean, you gotta. You gotta throw up a little. So when you were at your younger, younger years, really trying to put up numbers.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Were you going ethnically diverse or were you just going for, like, hot rock and roll blondes?

[B]

Anything.

[A]

Anything.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. All comers, literally.

[B]

Yeah. It didn't matter.

[C]

All comers.

[B]

Black chicks always liked me when I had long hair. For some reason.

[A]

I had a good run with black chicks.

[B]

Yeah. They always were attracted to me when I had the.

[A]

When I had the big mohawk. I had a good run with black chicks as well.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I think they sound. It might almost be like their version of Rebelling.

[B]

It must be. Yeah. But, yeah, that was the Artist Formerly.

[C]

Known as Jam and Jam. Is it still up the one. It's still up at the Comic Strip.

[B]

My original headshot. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah, my original headshot. I look like a pale Sinbad.

[A]

It's awful. Did you have a bad nickname other than Gino Pisconsi?

[B]

Well, I was a dj, so when you're a dj, everybody had a nickname. Like, that was the thing. So I was a rock DJ in, like, a metal club, and then I was also at my own DJ business.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I was a DJ on the radio.

[A]

So, I mean, there's. Where Brian was the piranha.

[B]

He was.

[A]

Yeah. When he started. And he's still a comedy. He doesn't use the name anymore. But my first paid gig, of course, was Rich the Steamroller of Comedy. Karrueche.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, I know.

[C]

We love Karrueche.

[A]

Open for Otto and George. My first ever paid gig.

[B]

How great was Otto? Man, I miss him.

[A]

Oh, it was fucking. The coolest thing ever. That's my first paid gig.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

I'm big fans of the New Mulatto in Georgia. I call him.

[A]

Oh, yeah, that kid is really funny.

[C]

Jake and Louie, you ever seen.

[B]

Oh, yeah, I've seen them.

[C]

Yeah, they. They. You could tell. They, like, I brag.

[B]

He told me. He told me because he knows I was. I was Otto's neighbor for a while, and we were really good friends. Yeah. Yeah. He was asking me a lot about Otto. You could tell he loves him.

[C]

Like, I brag. I'm like. I'm proud to say that I've driven both George and Louis in the trunk of my car to a gig I'll never forget.

[B]

Otto is getting heckled by this fat woman, and she got governors. And she's like, I'm leaving. And she was leaving. He goes, I can't believe I'm getting heckled by Java. To cunt.

[C]

I always say. I love telling this. I'm like, if you don't know Otto and George when they were around, like, here's what you do. You get your. You get your best friend, and you get your two girls, and you go to a show and you watch them, and 10 minutes into the act, all four of you are laughing. And then an hour and 10 minutes in the act, you and your buddy are laughing your ass off. And the two girls are like. The puppet just keeps calling me a cunt.

[B]

I know.

[C]

And you're like, right, right.

[A]

That's the show. Yeah, I opened it.

[B]

Had to be in Jersey.

[A]

Yeah. It was at the Plank Road Inn and Sea Caucus where I'm from. And it was 2000, 10, 11. And he did his full. Of course, JFK. But then he did John Wayne Bobbitt.

[C]

I don't remember John Wayne Bobbitt.

[A]

Lorena Bobbitt. She cut her husband's dick off, right?

[C]

No, but I don't remember.

[A]

He did his Bobbitt bit. He did all his Clinton material. It was just. He did the. He did the act, baby.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

The Madonna stuff. I kicked her in the cunt, and 10 cocks fell out.

[A]

Five of them were black.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

My favorite is when he talks about the head of his dick flying off his body and shooting across the room like a cork. And he goes, cat'll get it.

[B]

Yeah. There's one on the radiator. Hey, it's a black one.

[A]

There's a black one on the dude. He does that. And whenever I tell people to watch Otto and George, I say, watch him bombing at the porn awards.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Before the porn awards were, like, a production.

[C]

I've never seen that.

[B]

Yeah. Cause the audience isn't mic. They're miserable. Me and Jameson did it at porn. Aw. And we bombed him.

[A]

But it's in, like, a Hotel. Like when he did it, it's not like a ball. It's like a hotel conference room.

[C]

I got to see that.

[A]

And the notes paying attention. And George just keeps going, attention, attention. Someone is speaking in the front of the room. Okay, let's get one or two more silly stories in here. And thank you guys so much.

[C]

Find it. Find an album if you're listening.

[B]

There's a bunch of Otto and George clips on YouTube, like full sets from Rascals. Oh yeah, there's a bunch of Rascals up there. Yeah, there's one from like, some bar in like, Staten island, which is great. The. The people hate him, screaming. He's so angry.

[C]

Yeah, you know, like, we gotta go. The puppets got another gig. George has got another gig. Oh, I loved him.

[A]

And I mean, of course it will go without saying. The funniest thing ever is this thinks I'm real. The when he got stabbed.

[B]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Gino, I'm sure you know that times a billion.

[C]

He stabbed the puppet.

[A]

He was busking in Union Square and a Puerto Rican guy walked up and stabbed George in the chest.

[C]

Oh yeah, I've heard that.

[A]

And George just turns goes, this thinks I'm real. All right. Hey guys. Today's episode is brought to you by our [e-mail] home of the sixty dollar kilo.

Yo kratom.com home of the 60 kilo woohoo news anchor suspended for live broadcast while drunk. Can you imagine such a thing?

[C]

I can imagine being that newscaster, but I can't.

[A]

Let's see a chat. How bad was it?

[C]

Yeah, aren't they always drunk? Wasn't there like, here we go.

[D]

People across the country southeast are under warnings for excessive heat. And boy, don't you know that at 105 degrees in Texas today. I just spoke with my mother. That's what she's dealing with. It's a major heat wave and it is ex. It's. It's just heading everywhere. We're so lucky. It's only 80 degrees here. We are really lucky here in the capital region. I mean, let me tell you about that. These areas are reaching such areas. I mean, it's Houston, Austin, San Antonio. I mean, they're not expected. It has happened. Like, you don't need us telling you that. It's bad. It's like. Like people are being told to, like, stay inside, drink a lot of water. And we are just lucky. This weekend right here is so amazing. Meteorologist Craig Adams is right.

[A]

They couldn't get to that sound.

[D]

Of course, we're taking a live look downtown Albany. And of course, just like me, neurologist Craig Gold is working a double shift. And so he's in. And we've been tracking this pause.

[A]

So here's the thing. She definitely did not know she was doing a double.

[C]

Yeah, I thought that.

[A]

And she got drunk. She's dehydrated and I think had a few drinks and they went, hey, can you actually cover the next shift?

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Yeah, I'm fine.

[C]

Look at her eyeballs, so perfectly frozen.

[A]

So here's. Okay. Devil's advocate it. This lady should be the news at last call and have a last call news show. 3:00am that's not bad. And it's this lady hammered.

[B]

That's. I like that.

[A]

An all drunk news show.

[C]

There's a whiskey right on the. On the desk. Yeah. Just sitting there.

[A]

But if it was odd, like at red eye time and it was last call, to use would be so funny. Yeah, Just, I mean, shit. Hammered opinion pieces.

[C]

But I mean, like.

[B]

And she got in trouble for this.

[C]

Yeah, that's about. But she shouldn't have got, like. I'm sure she'd be the first to say exactly what you said. She's like, look, I thought it was done. They asked me to come in. Who's. I would be like. I'd be like, who's doing who the fucking favor here? Yeah, I was drunk. It's not like she was drunk. And she said, oh, these coons on the carnival cruise got into it again over chicken fingers or. Those people are dangerous. She was drunk, talking about the weather. God damn it. She better not get in trouble.

[A]

I don't know. I'm sure she got. I'm sure. I'm sure she has to do the fake rehab or whatever at Least Shannon.

[E]

So she was suspended pending, like, pending investigation. She claims she didn't drink at all, that she was just sleep deprived because she's been taking care of her ill father and that they had asked her to do a couple of extra shit shifts. And then once the period of time of the investigation almost came to an end, she said she's not going to renew her contract. So we don't know, like, what? I don't know if she did, like, a alcohol test or anything like that. She just quit after they suspended her.

[C]

All seems like an overreaction.

[A]

No, you can't. Moms are gonna get mad about that.

[C]

Why? It's not like she was noticeable. It's not like kids were like, ah, she must be drunk, Mommy. And if you're watching it with, like, your kids are like. Like, yeah, she probably was drinking. She had a couple in her. But, you know, she's not driving. She's steering a newscast into the ground. She's not driving a car.

[B]

Like, the kids never seen a mom drunk before. Like that.

[A]

Was there any more of that?

[E]

Shannon, there's like, maybe like 10 seconds left.

[A]

Yeah, let's finish.

[D]

You know, we've been talking about just, like, what it's been like across the country and the different reasons that. Why it's so hot in other areas. And we're having really nice weather here. So let's get over to Craig.

[A]

That booze are.

[C]

Maybe pill still sounds better than Kamala. I'd vote for her over K any day of the week.

[A]

That might be like an Ambien that hit too early. Maybe a painkiller.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. She mixed a Percocet or something that.

[A]

You know what? That could have been a. It could have been. Oh, what? I had perk set in one drink.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Then you forget.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Have you guys ever seen the thing with the mom who went the wrong way down the highway and fucking obliterated, like, her kids? Somebody else's kids.

[B]

Yeah, that was on the Sawmill or something in New York.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She went to a soccer game and then stopped and got a bottle of vodka and then drove the wrong way up the highway.

[C]

So he's the vodka.

[B]

It was a Comic Parkway or something like that. They did a documentary about it.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[E]

It's called There's Something wrong with Aunt Dian.

[A]

Thank you. They didn't. They say that she had, like, an app. They were trying to say she had an abscess in her tooth that made her fucking wacky.

[E]

Shannon, I'm looking at. I'm Scrolling over it now.

[A]

I want to say that she was on medication for the tooth and something with that they tried to introduce. Go ahead.

[E]

So just. Just skimming real quick. But I look further into it. It says that she may have suffered a. Some sort of like a stroke like event that may have caused disorientation. But I remember she had a really high alcohol content and then an alcohol level and it said she was also on thc.

[A]

Yeah, but that's not gonna. Yeah, you're not gonna drive the wrong way down the highway because you're drunk enough.

[C]

I think the lesson is if you have a toothache, don't drink it with a bottle of. Don't treat it with a bottle of vodka while babysitting. I think.

[A]

Excellent point. Where's to Live By Gino Visconti. All right, I would like to know what you guys think of this. Widow has late husband's tattoo cut from corpse framed as tribute. I got an argument with my wife about this yesterday that I thought it was kind of cool. Shannon, your thoughts?

[E]

It creeps me out.

[A]

Fair enough.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You want to show the boys?

[B]

What could she do with that? Like it's frames, the flash. And what does she do?

[A]

It's framed.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah. How does it look that I'm expecting to see something?

[E]

Oh, and I'll show it to you here.

[C]

DJ Watt.

[E]

You can see a little bit. One second. You can see a little bit of like the pores in his skin and stuff here.

[C]

Typical Steelers fan holding on to the past.

[A]

I don't hate it.

[C]

No, I mean, I don't. It's fine as long as it looks like that. Like, is it going to, like you've got a piece of.

[A]

You don't want it to look like papyrus.

[C]

You don't want it to look like human flesh.

[A]

Yeah. You don't want it to look like the Necronomicon from Evil Dead.

[C]

I don't know what that is. Is, but that sounds.

[A]

The Book of the Dead. That's covered in human skin.

[B]

I still have my son. I have my son's foreskin in my freezer. I was just telling a joke, like when they came in, I swear to God.

[C]

Why?

[B]

My ex brother in law was there and a doc comes in, he goes, we're doing a circumcision. I go, can you save the foreskin? Because he collects them. I was just being an idiot. And the doctor's like, what? He's like, oh, he's joking. He's a comedian. I go, no, seriously, he collects them. If you could save It. It'd be great. The guy's like. Like, whatever. My brother's like, what's wrong with you? Like, that's fucking funny. And then an hour later, he comes in. In a jar labeled Luke Florentine. And I still have it. It's in gauze. And I'm like, now I can't throw it away. So it's still.

[C]

What is wrong with you?

[A]

Well, I mean, some people would say you should bury it with him. He goes with him. That way, he's reunited with his foreskin in heaven.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

If he marries a Jew broad, he can put it back on.

[B]

I remember during Sandy, like a scrunchie.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The hurricane. My power's out for, like, two weeks. I had to bring it over. My mom. I don't want things to go bad. My freezer wasn't working. Yeah. I put this in there.

[A]

I like that. You have that. And I have. I have a meatloaf sandwich from the Yankee Tower from the day they closed. You remember the Yankee Tower?

[B]

No.

[A]

It was a truck stop in Shannon. Can you look up where the Yankee Tower was? It's a Noches de Colombia in Jersey now. It's, like, not palace. Right before Palisade Park.

[B]

Okay. Yeah, I don't remember that.

[A]

Shane, can you look it up? It was called the Yankee Tower. It was a truck stop diner.

[E]

It was at Broad Avenue and Fairview, New Jersey.

[A]

Thank you. Fairview.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

That was my favorite. That was where my dad took me for lunch every weekend when I worked for him.

[B]

So you have to.

[A]

They were famous for their meatloaf sandwich.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I got one the last day, and we put it in the back of my mom's freezer. And it's been there for 30 years.

[B]

30 years. Still in the freezer.

[A]

Yep.

[C]

Wonder if you could eat it.

[A]

Probably not.

[B]

I wonder if you could eat the foreskin.

[C]

Yeah, probably not.

[A]

It was barely edible the day I got it, to be honest with you. It was like a famous thing. Like there. We. We did it on the show recently. Like, the. Their meatloaf recipe went in the fucking paper and everything.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

It was like a. It was the worst. Greasy. We would go. The. The chef looked like Bluto from Popeye.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And we watched him. He was cleaning out. He had a big vat of gravy.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And you could see right in. It had, like, an open thing, so you could see right in. And I would sit at the counter. I was little. I was like, seven when I watched this guy take his whole forearm and scoop gravy. And then lick it from his elbow to his hand and then keep cooking. And my favorite was one time a guy got Gollumod, which already he had. Got him out of the truck stop.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, and he goes. He calls over the waitress. And all the waitresses were nasty cunts. One of them wound up working at AW Meyer, the. The Tool place right down the street from that same spot. And she goes, may I come over here? Because there's a tooth in this. And she grabs him by the nose, opens his mouth and goes, that's not one of yours. Ding. And throws it in the garbage can.

[B]

Really? God, that's great.

[A]

I was there. That's that seven year old me just fucking sitting at the fucking counter swinging my fat little legs.

[C]

No, Zach.

[A]

One time my dad left me there with one of the waitresses and he came back and she was complaining about her tips and she's like, you believe this? And I'm just sitting there like, yeah, what a absolute. All right. I'm very. But so with the tattoo thing, I'm very cool with it and would encourage, I think, especially if you have one or two you really love, I'm fine with it.

[C]

I'm just wondering how it looks on the wall, that's all. Like. Like, yeah, that's. You remember Steve? He had that tattoo. I had it saved.

[A]

All right.

[C]

I guess that's. That's great. I don't like it. I don't want it on.

[B]

Wait, so your wife said it's.

[A]

Yeah, she thought it was gross. She also hates most of my tattoos.

[B]

Both.

[C]

I thought he said both too.

[B]

I know. He said both.

[C]

The upper torso and lower torso.

[A]

Yeah. Most of my tattoos, she.

[C]

They all connected and we didn't realize.

[A]

She truly hates. She made me put clothes on this one.

[C]

Really?

[A]

Yeah, before her snatch was out. And my wife said I couldn't have a naked lady on my arm.

[C]

It's just like when they covered up the Sistine Chapel. Am I right?

[A]

I've always. I grew up with. Well, I grew up with welders. Everybody had naked ladies tattooed on them. Of course, in my head, you grow up and when you're a grown up.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You get naked ladies tattooed on you.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Zach, I looked on the website and there's also this option, it says they have only done it twice, though, where it's a 3D preservation.

[A]

I don't hate that.

[E]

And you can like, yes, they have like a half a sleeve here, but.

[C]

That'S not the real thing.

[E]

What do you mean?

[A]

No, that is the. That is the Tattoo on a fake arm. Right.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

No, wait. Right. But that's. There's no human flesh on that.

[A]

Yeah, no, that is the real skin stretched out like taxidermy.

[C]

Yeah, that's. That's macabre. It is.

[E]

And there's another one that they. That they did.

[A]

Don't hate it.

[C]

It's can. It's weird to me.

[A]

I went to years ago at one of the horror cons, I went to my dad. A couple came, and their specialty was cadaver photography, and they collected pictures of tattoos on autopsies.

[C]

That's fine.

[A]

And their big thing was bikers because it would get a lot of bikers.

[C]

Quite the canvas.

[A]

Yeah. And it was a night. Elderly. Elderly biker lady. And they're doing all our tattoos. And the last one was. When you took her lower lip down, it said, come here.

[B]

That's not really.

[C]

That's clever. That is. Yeah, that's. Would you get that? That's.

[A]

That's what the husband said that I am here as someone whose back says banging whores, there's very few things I would not get tattooed on me. You know who loves that? Whores.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know who hates that? My wife. Yeah.

[C]

Didn't have to cover that up. Just cover up the clown. Fake woman's cunt.

[A]

Yeah. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?

[B]

At least you still gave her some camel toe in that.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. My buddy Claude. Yeah. He was gonna make it Gross.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Nicely done.

[A]

Well, his name is Claw because his drawing hand does not work work. He has necrosis. He punched a mirror when he was 18 and ripped all the tendons out of his hand and then didn't go to the hospital. So he got necrosis of the hands. So his hand is permanently closed. And he relearned how to tattoo with his closed hand.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Scariest guy I know. He's got horns. Very hard to complain about a tattoo when the man tattooing you has horns.

[C]

How big are the horns? The bumps?

[A]

His implants.

[C]

Yeah, but how big, really? Jesus Christ.

[A]

He's got horns, split tongue. No nipple, which I don't understand. That one.

[C]

He had it removed.

[A]

Had it removed.

[C]

Did he donate it at least?

[A]

He's one of those people that does the. The, the. The. The. The suspension.

[C]

The what?

[A]

They hang from hooks. Not my thing.

[C]

No. I'm out.

[A]

Freaks me out a little.

[C]

How'd we get on this? How do we go down this avenue?

[A]

Yeah. It's hard to complain to somebody when they have every single modification.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Be like, oh, you're hurting me. He's the only. We played. We basically played Freak show Chicken one night. We were playing. We were doing a show in Brooklyn. I was doing stand up, and there was a bunch of freak show acts. And the bar must have been closing. Like, they didn't give a. And bars like that. And they're like, hey, listen, do whatever you guys want. And we're like, nudity. And they're like, yeah, we don't give a fuck. We're gonna lock the door. So I did what I do at Skank Fest, which is I put my dick in a rat trap. And I was like, I got this. I win. And then Claw goes after me and he takes out a firework. And I'm like, son of a bitch, Claw. And he put a firework in his urethra and shot it across the room.

[B]

Oh, what kind of firework?

[A]

Like a bottle rock. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

With.

[A]

On the stick. Thick. Yeah, yeah. And he lit it and he shot. He got powder burns all over his hole.

[C]

Come on.

[B]

That shoots back.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they also made a salad on my friend Arlo's head with a machete. So he laid across the table with a plate under him, and they had all vegetables, and they cut up a salad with a machete on his forehead.

[B]

God, I still think yours might be the worst. Putting your dick in a rat trap. That's not even a mousetrap. Mousetraps are little ones.

[A]

I'd rather. I rather. I'd rather do that than the firework.

[C]

Yeah. Because the firework, it has that ignition, like, I've seen, like.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Dude tried to be cool and held it in his.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Steve O. Does that. Steve O. Does that.

[C]

Not anymore.

[B]

Yeah, he used to do bottle rockets out of his ass.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna. I'm about to. I was just saying I'm gonna probably do some dates with. With the new fat kid from Jackass. Yeah, Zach.

[B]

Right.

[A]

And I think we're gonna do some. Some dumb stunts and shit, at least, like, some of this gang festion. I like the staple gun and stuff.

[B]

How. How much did it hurt on a scale of 1 to 10? The rat trap on your dick.

[C]

Ooh, 11.

[B]

10 being the best.

[A]

7.

[B]

The hurdlest. 7.

[A]

6. 7. The first time I did it was bad.

[B]

Were you hard?

[A]

No.

[B]

If you're hard, I think it'd be.

[A]

It'd be way worse.

[B]

I think it would soften the blow.

[A]

No, because then you're full of blood. Yeah.

[C]

I think that causes damage.

[B]

I don't know if you're soft.

[C]

Why are we still talking about why not?

[A]

Yeah. The first time I did it.

[B]

Yeah, Vaccines again. Get over it. Almost 20, 26. Get over it.

[A]

The first time I did it, I was with that same guy, Arlo, who. He made the salad on his head. We were doing a show in Buffalo, and I had him doing freak show tricks in between the comics. So then I finished the show. I was the last comic. Thank you. Good night. And he went back out on stage to do another trick. And I'm like, you know I'm the headliner, right? And he had put the rat trap on his tongue. So I just walked out and I was like, well, I guess I gotta do this, right? I took my dick out and I did it. And then I had, like a circular bruise around the base of my dick.

[C]

For a couple days. As you should.

[A]

And I just remember a lovely young woman in the crowd taking me back to her car and performing an act on me. And she just looks up and goes, your dick tastes like blood. Yeah. And we should probably just fuck that.

[B]

Good for her.

[C]

Hopefully that act was first aid.

[B]

She's a good sport.

[A]

Yeah. She's a good woman.

[C]

She's a Goa.

[A]

But then after that. So basically, there's ways. I know where to take it now. Like, as far as where on my dick. I want it to land right. Which is not all the way at the base and not near the head, which is very limited.

[B]

I mean, the middle. Yeah.

[C]

Mid shaft.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. And I'm. And I'm not playing with a lot of yardage.

[B]

Right, Right. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

So you got to get it good.

[C]

It's great.

[A]

But, yeah, that's. You get more. I don't want to say you get used to it, but you learn where to do it, right. And there's other little sideshow kind of things I do with it to make it a little. You use the microphone. You put the microphone by it to make the snap louder.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[A]

Dumb shit. Even like when I do the wrestlers.

[B]

When they hit their foot on the.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. You learn how to.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

They do what?

[B]

Punch. You know, they hit the foot to make it sound like it's.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Bigger punch than it is. Which, by the way, Zach, I wanted to ask you about that guy.

[A]

Oh, fuck, yeah. Let's do that. Shannon, can you please bring up the Raja Jackson thing?

[C]

The guy that got the shit beat out of him?

[A]

Okay, so I have a lot of opinions about this.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I actually saw this. I'm like, what the fuck?

[A]

So for people that don't know. Raja Jackson is the son of Quentin Rampage Jackson, famous UFC fighter. I guess he's training.

[C]

Wasn't he Mr. T in the remake of the A Team?

[A]

Yes, he was. Thank you.

[C]

I know stuff.

[A]

And so I guess he's at this indie wrestling show. I don't think he's training to wrestle, but he's.

[B]

He's a UFC training to be in the ufc.

[A]

He's training to fight.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And he's also, like, a social media, like, always streaming.

[B]

Right.

[A]

So he's. He's always, like, promoting something. He's an influencer, something like that. Yeah. And from what I understood, the first video that everybody saw, he's ringside in a wrestling match, dives in under the bottom rope, double legs. This guy psycho still slams him. Looks like he kind of knocks him out with the slam, to be honest.

[B]

Right. It looked. Yeah.

[A]

And then just. It's not even. It's not grounded. It's just full, like, haymakers.

[C]

Assault.

[A]

Yeah. Attempted murder.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I think they said 23 punches.

[A]

Yeah, I read something around that as well.

[C]

Undefended, too. It's not like he got his hands up.

[A]

Yeah, no, his. His hands are never. He's out.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And it is. I would call that attempted murder.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, one of those. I think once somebody's knocked out, a kick or a punch to the head is attempted, but makes sense. Very opinionated, because I have a few friends with CTE and a few friends I no longer have due to cte.

[C]

I think your dick has cte.

[A]

And so now there's a lot of different stories going around saying it was set up, and he went nuts. Some saying that it was a work. A lot of people saying it went too far, like he was supposed to do something.

[C]

I don't know what any of that means. It just looked like he beat the shit.

[B]

Zach, did you see that footage of them rehearsing it before with the can?

[A]

Yeah. So they apparently had shot stuff before, and they did a bit where he was gonna get hit with a beer can. And it's rigged. It's like, you know, it's gonna pop. It's a gimmick. It's gonna hurt a little.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But apparently they made up over. They shook hands over that, and he's like, I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to hurt you. To the. This guy psycho.

[B]

Oh, see, this wasn't. He wasn't scheduled to come in the ring at any point.

[A]

No, I think he was.

[B]

He was. I thought that's what they were gonna do. In the ring. Like they're rehearsing it back.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

I can play you through the videos if you want. Yeah, this is the. The can one first.

[A]

Worried about Psycho Stu. Psycho stuff. Who? What? You don't know me? Yeah. This is fake. Yeah. Hey, I think that's a little. Oh, you don't. He's not a worker, bro. Calm down. Yeah. What the was that? You don't sell it.

[C]

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[A]

I don't play that. I know, I know you will. We're good. Good. I will him up, bro. I don't play that. No, I will him up. I know you will.

[E]

All right, now I'll show you the apology one.

[A]

All right, so.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

Okay, here's the next one.

[A]

He always think that we're working over here, like it's part of the storyline. What kind of homo? Kalia Rampiks. That's so weird. Good. No, no, no, bro, go ahead, cuz. He always think it's a work. He's already hot. Good. I'm sorry, bro. Hey, it's going to all work out. I appreciate it. I. I didn't know. Work it out. Well, he going to come out on your mat. I know you keep thinking we're working. We're always working. He's gonna come out during your match, right? From what I understand, this guy Psycho still has ptsd. He's a little goofy.

[C]

A little.

[A]

You meet. You meet characters. So if people didn't see it, he. This guy runs the ring beats out of him. We can watch that in a second. But then makes a call to his dad. The phone is mic'd up and he's like, this is what happened. He's talking to Rampage on the phone, which again, makes me think that he's trying to work something here. Then he almost killed this guy. The reason I think, Shannon, you can bring up the video of the in ring incident.

[B]

You kill it.

[A]

Oh, yeah, he's out.

[C]

Jesus Christ. So he's. Yeah, he. So when he made. Oh, my God. When he shook hands with them outside, he's like, I'm gonna kill this when I get a chance. He knew the whole time. There's no question in my mind what.

[A]

Makes me think he was. That was supposed to do that. In my experience, both as a wrestling commentator and personality and a fan, if someone gets in the ring who's not supposed to be part of the show, everyone drops character. And the first thing you do is incapacitate that person for your safety.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If your head goes under that bottom rope, you should the referee is supposed to soccer ball kick you and knock you out. And is that because they think the guy's gonna come in there and beat the shit out of the wrestler? No, because people have weapons. And old school. Puerto Rico, Mexico, down south, people used to show up with knives. In Mexico, they would piss on the knife.

[B]

Brody.

[A]

Yeah, to try and give you an infection.

[C]

I thought that sanitized it. It's isn't urine anyway.

[A]

They would put bleach and squirt guns and try and get the bad guys in the eye as they walk down the aisle. So your job, if you're anyone in the match or somebody runs in the ring that's not supposed to be there, you gotta tackle. They are incapacitated. So the way that nobody stopped him makes me think, oh, we know he's going to do this running. Then they saw how hard he was hitting them. If you watch, this first guy's not really trying to pry him off him. But then this kid with the Shannon bring up, the kid with the dreadlocks goes to try and underhook both his arms, right? Because he's legitimately trying to stop him now. And I think you can see the difference. And we don't have to watch all the punches again.

[C]

Yeah, no one's doing anything.

[A]

So now they're. They're all selling their eyes are closed, right?

[B]

The rap is like.

[A]

Yeah. So now he's gonna. The second guy is who's really trying to stop him.

[C]

God damn it.

[A]

This guy. And you see the longer one, he wraps him up, right?

[B]

Yeah, yeah. They get him in the. By the turnbuckle.

[A]

So what I. My basic understanding, what I think happened. And now supposedly this Raha kid, Raja kid, had gotten spin kicked not that long ago in practice, and that looked like it knocked him out. So I think that beer can fucked him up.

[B]

Fucked his head up.

[A]

Because when you have a concussion, you're way more likely to get another one.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, so he. So this the black kid, what, Jackson? He's had CTE before.

[A]

He just got.

[B]

He's the TUA of ufc.

[A]

He just. If I'm. If I'm wrong, I apologize. There's footage of him getting his bell rung in sparring recently.

[E]

Oh, I don't have a video, but I have his dad's tweet addressing the situation, and he does mention that in it.

[A]

Want to clear up information about my son. Roger confirmed that the wrestler is awake and stable. He was unacceptably hit in the side of the head by the. Moments before the Match and he get his payback in the ring. Thought it was part of the show. It was bad judgment or work that went wrong. Ron was an MMA fighter, has no business being involved an event like this. He suffered concussion from sparring only days ago and no business doing anything close to physical contact. As a father, I'm deeply concerned with health and well being of Mr. Smith said I'm very upset this happened. My main concern for Mr. Smith will make a speedy consent recovery.

[C]

You say there. I believe him. I completely believe Rampage.

[A]

So that's what I think happened. I think he was. They said, hey, you're a guest at this, you're going to come do your celebrity thing, tackle him and do some punches, do some MMA style punches. He went nuts. Do I think he went nuts beyond the shadow of a doubt and should be in trouble for it? Yes. Do I think that something to do with the concussions? Yes, I do.

[B]

Let me ask, that was so with the beer cam, was that supposed to happen in the ring and they were practicing it backstage?

[A]

No, I think they thought he, he thought they were cutting a promo.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

I think he was like, hey, Testica. Because it was all filmed, so I think he was just doing content.

[B]

Okay. Yep.

[A]

And he's like. And because he goes, you hear him say, oh, you're not going to sell it. Saying that he should have went like, ah, you know, ah, you got me. I'll get you in the ring, Yar. Yeah, you son of a biscuit.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

But yeah, he's a fucking monster. And yeah, that's unacceptable. And that guy, he could have killed. I'm shocked he didn't kill him.

[C]

Yeah, I was watching that saying like.

[B]

What'S the update on the guy's health? The wrestler.

[A]

Yeah, Shannon, can you get. I heard, I heard he's, he woke up.

[E]

Yeah. It says he's, he's in stable condition.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

There have been times where people get. Interfere like that and they get, you know, I've been, I've been at matches where somebody climbed in the ring. They don't stay long. They don't stay long at all. They fucking, they get them good.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But there's other. CTE kind of fucking upsets me.

[B]

So.

[A]

I get very, I get very weirded out by it because it just takes one.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then you could like. So my buddy that trained me has it pretty bad. He had to retire because of it. He's playing softball with his daughter and just caught the lightest little throw clocked him. He had to go inside for Five days because he couldn't look at the sun.

[B]

Was that the first time he had one or was it from before he had.

[A]

It's from. It's from years ago when it was considered by, say to complain that you had one. One. Right now I think we know.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

How horrible they are. But then there's also great wrestling moments where people really get their ass kicked. And I. I enjoy those quite a bit. Have you guys ever. You've seen great Antonio, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

No idea. What?

[B]

No.

[A]

Big fat guy in Japan. A big fat guy tried to fight basically the scariest guy in the history of Japan and tried to protect like. Like Godzilla. Yes. More or less.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Tried to buck up on him. He goes nah. And beats the out of him in front of everybody.

[C]

Yeah, I know. No, I don't know that one.

[B]

If. If Gino sees it, he's gonna say it was probably because of the vaccine.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Or, or. Or Obama. Could have been Obama.

[A]

I get scared. Have you guys ever seen somebody get knocked out in a street fight? It's terrifying.

[B]

I see the videos are just out cold and, you know, they hit the head and that's how they usually die.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Curb or. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I've been choked out twice. High school wrestling and then once knocked out, I got thrown into a wall in practice. And each time I'm missing. I'm missing time. The one choke. I was wrestling in states in sixth grade. I'm missing that day.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

So like, you don't. You don't get over that.

[C]

I wouldn't miss a day like that at all.

[A]

You ever seen. You ever seen New Jack stab the guy in the ring?

[B]

No.

[A]

Shannon. New Jack stabs Outback Jack. So you guys heard a New Jack? Yeah, New Jack was a legit bounty hunter at a drug dealer who also wrestled. He's dead now and from the stabbing. No, no, he died. He died on his own, but he.

[C]

Of his own volition.

[A]

This guy tried to shoot on him.

[C]

Telling you, dude. Well, that's believable. Killed Ricky Henderson.

[A]

Shannon, you got it?

[E]

Not yet. Sorry. I'm just trying to figure out where to look for it. On that I could see a real video of it, no problem.

[A]

Anyway, this guy, new check came out with a shiv in his pocket and the guy tried to double leg him and he just starts stabbing him in the back.

[C]

What?

[A]

Yeah, in the ring.

[C]

Why?

[A]

Because he was a dangerous psychopath.

[C]

Story checks out.

[A]

That's right. If you can't find a Shannon, we'll try this one.

[E]

Maybe. Is this the right One.

[A]

Yep. By the way, there's not enough people here to justify this stabbing to me.

[C]

What's he wearing?

[A]

It's like a one piece camo thing.

[C]

Okay. And this is the guy with the knife.

[A]

Guess which one has the knife.

[C]

Yeah, the camo guy. Never mind.

[A]

He's being a little rough with him. And yep, now. Now they're just fighting.

[C]

Look at the ref.

[A]

Now he's going in his pocket. Once again. There's 15 people here.

[C]

Oh.

[A]

Oh.

[C]

Ah. God damn it. How big is the knife?

[A]

It's like a little shiv that was in his pocket. So he got arrested for this.

[C]

Should have.

[A]

And got out because he promised the guy he would train him and then he skipped town the second he got out of jail.

[B]

Jail, Nice.

[C]

It's like, yeah, I'll let you train me. It will be even Steven. He deserved to let the guy get away. That's so. Oh, you stabbed me. But you'll teach me to. You'll teach me how to stab other people in wrestling rings.

[A]

All right, we'll end it on this. And thank you guys so much for your time. Now, I legitimately can't remember if we've done the story already, but I saw the video and I said, shannon, I want to show it again. This is just some fun body cam footage of a lady getting arrested. And we'll end it on the. Shannon, it's fun already.

[C]

You don't have a choice. You're under arrest. Have a seat in the car, please.

[A]

No, I'm not getting in that car.

[C]

You have to get in the car. Why? You are under arrest for driving under the influence.

[A]

Okay, I'm just not getting in the car. You have to get in the car.

[C]

Come on.

[A]

You gotta get in the car. Please have a seat. Man, this never would have happened. Pre buck body cam.

[C]

Come on, get in the car. Don't make this harder than it has to be.

[A]

Go.

[C]

You don't have a choice. You're under arrest. Please have a seat in the car.

[A]

I'm sorry, but what in the test that we did just proves that I, I.

[C]

That that could all be explained later, but you are under arrest.

[A]

Okay, I'm not going to go under the arrest. You have to.

[C]

You're not.

[A]

I'm not going in this car without knowing you feel when I didn't fail no exams. I'm sorry. 25 years ago, this girl would have already been getting a ride home from two empty ball police officers. Yeah.

[C]

Was it an English exam? Okay, have a seat in the car.

[A]

Getting in this car without get in the car. It's scaring me because I don't know. Shannon, I think we have done this. I don't care. After being told you are under arrest.

[C]

I also take care of Boom's coming out or not.

[A]

I am driving home to my family.

[B]

And I didn't do anything.

[A]

So why are you. We're not.

[C]

You are under arrest. You have to get into the car. Have a seat in the car.

[A]

Show me how you suck a guy's. Yeah, with your mouth. Have a seat in the car. All right, Shannon, we'll call it there. Thank you so much.

[B]

Look, that. That's a hot chick. That always gets away. She's amazed at this point. It's like, are you kidding me? Like. Like, I get everything I want from a man. A man will do anything for me, so why wouldn't you guys let me go? Look at my tits. And I'm beautiful.

[A]

Yeah, it's her mind.

[B]

She can't believe that it's like this.

[A]

She's. She's short circuiting.

[B]

Yeah, this isn't working.

[A]

She's glitching.

[C]

She literally is on, like, the second. She's like, I never had to go to. To the second sentence of this. And she's like, I driving home to my. I not fail. It's like you've got nothing left in the tank.

[A]

It's like when you watch.

[C]

Are you looking at my tits?

[A]

When you watch a really hot chick in a comedy show and like, 20 minutes in there, like, no one's looked at me or acknowledged. And you watch them just do, like, a system reboot where they have to reconsider life.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Well, that was a hot chick. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. My excellent guest, Jim Florentine. Gino Bisconte. And we got two more episodes this week.
