Episode Overview

This berserk, laughter-packed installment of Zac Amico's Morning Zoo brings together host Zac Amico with comedians Scott Chaplain and Jarrett Campbell for a wild ride of drive-time chaos. The trio riff on nicotine addictions, high school reunions, haunted houses, pro wrestling’s decline, Nazi subculture oddities, cursed serial killer memorabilia, Halloween controversies, and a lot more. As always, Zac’s brand of darkly irreverent humor keeps things lively, weird, and unfiltered—just as listeners expect.

3. Wedding MC Stories & The Comedy of Awkward Gigs

[09:45–13:02]

• Zac shares regrets about not hiring a drag queen MC or Beetlejuice impersonator for his own wedding, and how pro MCs can “make or break” weird family events.

Saudi WrestleMania and Pro Wrestling’s Weirdest Corners

[27:21–32:44]

Good, buddy. Thanks for having me back.

[Zach Amico]

Thank you for being here.

[Jared Campbell]

Happy to be here.

[Zach Amico]

I gotta tell you, those zins are.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

Whoa.

[Zach Amico]

Calling me. No, I. I gave. I haven't had any nicotine since January the first.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And I gotta tell you, I think I'm going back. You have to, dude. I was like. I was like, that's gonna be my first thing. I'm gonna get my shit together. Thing number one, nicotine. And then I stopped at nicotine.

[Jared Campbell]

Zins are fine, man. It's like the vaping and smoking. You want to stay away.

[Zach Amico]

Well, I think my problem was I was going heavy on, like, the rogues. Like, I was tobacco and nicotine. And then I felt like I was going to go back. My big thing. I loved general snus.

[Jared Campbell]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

That was my favorite.

[Jared Campbell]

That's like the actual loose, like.

[Zach Amico]

Well, they have that, but they have.

[Jared Campbell]

Pouches to do a pouch.

[Zach Amico]

That's the Swedish ship. And then somebody sent me snooze from Sweden.

[Scott Chaplin]

And I felt like in a little bag.

[Zach Amico]

I thought I was free. Basing gasoline.

[Jared Campbell]

The ones that you sniff.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah, that's snuff.

[Jared Campbell]

Snuff, right? Yeah. I did that in Germany years ago, and it was kind of like, upsetting after a while because I'm like, what is this supposed to be doing?

[Zach Amico]

I just.

[Jared Campbell]

This nightclub snorting tobacco.

[Zach Amico]

It's the time I miss it the most is in the car. Like a long ride. Really could use one. Oh, yeah. And I feel like it helps me rip it open. It helps me regulate my duty.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah. Well, dude, they. They keep. Keep you in between the pictures. Here, I'll open it for you.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

Have a look. Like pickles. Oh, it's just like a little sack. They revolutionized. Just dip.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

These make you kind of dizzy, right?

[Jared Campbell]

I vomit if you're not used to it.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I did that, too. Oh, who did I give one to? And they puked. One of the kids that used to sell comedy tickets in Times Square, but also was a quote unquote comic.

[Jared Campbell]

What gram are you on? You're probably. You're probably. You look like a 22 guy.

[Zach Amico]

I was doing two at a time of the tens. Yeah, I was the old walrus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going hard. I gave him the one. He threw up outside the stand. And I hated that kid. That made me so happy. We did it to a kid I went to high school with a kid named Abdel.

[Jared Campbell]

Abdel.

[Zach Amico]

And Abdel sucked. And we all. Because all the wrestling team dipped because we had a spit anyway. To cut weight.

[Scott Chaplin]

Right, right.

[Zach Amico]

And he was just this fucking annoying little kid. And he's like, yo, I want to try that shit. I want to try. And he was like, fake ghetto, but we also had. You ever try the beef jerky that's shredded and it looks like a dip container? Uh huh.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, I've had that.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. So. And you have it the same way. You can put it on your lip.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So we had that and we told him it was dip. And we basically, for weeks, would slow. This was a long term. Yeah, this. This is a long drift.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So we would give him a. We're like, fine, but you just have a little bit. We don't need to get addicted. And then we would just give him.

[Scott Chaplin]

Beef jerky and he would act crazy.

[Zach Amico]

And yeah. He would be like, oh, yo, are you getting some more of that?

[Scott Chaplin]

So sad.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. And we were just doing it to frame too, with a guy. He'd be like, yo, I do. My heart goes faster. This shit's crazy. He's just eating beef jerky.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah, he's just trying to fit in.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

What's going on?

[Zach Amico]

And then eventually after like a couple weeks, he's like, yo, I want to try a new flavor. And we're like, go. Go talk to Mike Branowicz. I just like using people's real names. Go talk to Mike Bronowicz. He's got the wintergreen. Yeah, dummy. I mean, three finger scoop out of this thing. Swallowed it whole.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, no.

[Zach Amico]

And I watched a little Arab boy turn green in real, I mean, winter green, dude. The green. I. When you hear he turned green, you. Oh, that's a. That's an expression.

[Jared Campbell]

Sure.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

They lose a little color.

[Zach Amico]

This motherfucker turned green palette. And the thing that sucks about puking up, like regular dip, you puking it up strand by strand.

[Scott Chaplin]

Oh, right.

[Zach Amico]

And, dude, we had to ruin this poor kid's tummy and beef jerky. Yep.

[Jared Campbell]

Griff successful.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it really work. That kid sucked.

[Jared Campbell]

Big payoff.

[Zach Amico]

Can you believe I'm not going to my high school reunion?

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, you got to.

[Scott Chaplin]

You have.

[Zach Amico]

No, I'm not. I talked. Mike Lawrence talked me out of it.

[Jared Campbell]

How many years ago?

[Scott Chaplin]

Why would he do such a cynical thing?

[Zach Amico]

Mike Lawrence, he's giving me my 25 year reunion.

[Scott Chaplin]

You know, Romeo and Michelle's high school. It's like a 10 year reunion, isn't it?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

It's something that's happened.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

Years ago for us.

[Jared Campbell]

I'm like, fuck, yeah. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I got.

[Jared Campbell]

I don't think I would go back.

[Zach Amico]

I got an Instagram invite and I was like, I don't think I want to do this. And then I talked to Mike about it and he's like, whatever, you Think you're going to get out of it? You're not. And I was like, yeah, you're going.

[Scott Chaplin]

To get pussy out of it.

[Zach Amico]

No, but I'm not going to get any satisfaction.

[Scott Chaplin]

Right? No one's going to, like, praise.

[Jared Campbell]

What would you be looking for?

[Zach Amico]

Like, oh, man, you're doing so well. What you do looks cool. Yeah, well, I'm not gonna get it. I'm not gonna get an ounce of it. I'm just gonna get like, well, they're.

[Jared Campbell]

Not even gonna know what the fuck you're doing.

[Zach Amico]

Like, hey, they're gonna have no. Gonna have no concept. And B, it's just gonna be all the girls I went to high school with talking about how their kids are, their life.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Because now they're literally like, I saw the face. Somebody showed me the fucking, like, Facebook group planning it, and all the comments were like, huh? With three kids, I need eight months in advance to know how am I ever gonna get a night out? Like, oh, cool. That's your personality now, dude.

[Jared Campbell]

My reunion would just be, you shot.

[Zach Amico]

Three things out of your cunt and now you fucking. That's the person you are forever.

[Jared Campbell]

That's the reality, though, of like going, are you small town? Yeah, yeah, that's. That's it, dude. And every guy you see, it's like, hey, Mark, still driving a forklift? Yep.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's gonna be. It's gonna be. I gotta drive with pseg.

[Jared Campbell]

Still using those slurs, Mark?

[Zach Amico]

Yep, still using a slur, Zach professionally?

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, of course. I have a green screen now.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. I just don't think I'm going to get anything out of it. And plus, I'm going to. My best friend from high school is a girl, my friend Ally. And I'm going to her wedding this month. So I feel like I'm going to the people I kind of want to see. I'm going to see at the wedding.

[Jared Campbell]

Exactly. That's it.

[Scott Chaplin]

She having a Halloween wedding now.

[Zach Amico]

She's having a regular wedding just in October.

[Scott Chaplin]

Okay, Okay.

[Zach Amico]

I am doing a reading, though. I am represent.

[Jared Campbell]

Psychic reading.

[Zach Amico]

No, I have to read a poem.

[Jared Campbell]

That was her speech.

[Zach Amico]

No, it's her. She picked. I'm not allowed to play poem. I'm not allowed to pick what I say. So her fiance, her husband's sister is going to read a excerpt from Lord of the Rings, and I have to read a poem of the bride's choosing. Huh. Because I don't think she wants me to make up what I'm going to say.

[Scott Chaplin]

Right.

[Zach Amico]

Which is probably for the best.

[Jared Campbell]

Love to see you. Put that paper down at some point. Put your glasses down, rub your eye.

[Zach Amico]

Go a little off script remix.

[Jared Campbell]

I mean, it's live, dude.

[Zach Amico]

I can't believe her mom already hates me. I cannot believe. I got. I got the. She fought for this. What?

[Jared Campbell]

She fought for this?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, her. Because I got, like, the sibling role because we've always called each other Bart and Lisa since we're like, little kids. Like, since we're like, third grade.

[Jared Campbell]

That.

[Zach Amico]

That's just always been our relationship. And her mom always hated me, so she must have had a fucking fight. That's crazy for me to get the sibling part.

[Jared Campbell]

My brother's getting married next year, and he asked me to be his. His best man. Hell yeah, dude. And then he gives me the. The deets and he's like, yeah, we're getting married in, like, an Elvis style chapel by a drag queen. I'm like, I can't wait to watch my dad watch you get married.

[Zach Amico]

I'm all for it. Yeah, dude. That was the one big regret I had was I had two ideas for my wedding, and both. I wanted to hire an emcee because we had a deejay, but he wasn't really, like. He was a. He was very good at picking appropriate stuff.

[Jared Campbell]

Right.

[Zach Amico]

For old people, young people, whatever. Everything was good. He had his own sound system, liked him a lot. He was not good at the announcements and, like, getting people moving and shit. And I wish I had hired either my friend Babette, who's a drag queen, who's done that before as, like, an emcee.

[Jared Campbell]

Well, I was just gonna say you had the DJ doing emcee duties more or less.

[Zach Amico]

I didn't ask him to. He just did.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

Isn't that part of it?

[Jared Campbell]

Well, no, because, like, no, I think, like, I've had a couple of my buddies get out of weddings and so.

[Scott Chaplin]

That sounds crazy.

[Jared Campbell]

There isn't. It's fucking. Well, you kick it off right when you're emceeing the wedding. Like, you start, you do the opening speech, you kind of set the tone they want.

[Scott Chaplin]

It's like a story of a guy who kills him. You're gonna kill yourself one day.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, buddy.

[Scott Chaplin]

MC your friend's wedding.

[Jared Campbell]

I have, I have.

[Scott Chaplin]

I won't do it.

[Jared Campbell]

I won't do it again. Yeah, I won't do it again.

[Scott Chaplin]

That's crazy.

[Jared Campbell]

I've agreed to it twice. You know what? It is again? Small town. So the two buddies that I've had that got married from back Home. I'm the comedian. I'm the person that can talk, right? So I was like, fuck it, I'll do it. And it's fine. You know, you're not really preparing anything. You're just going up there, you're saying some shit, and then you're just. It's like hosting. You're calling somebody up, you're making a fucking joke about them. They're coming up and then you get loaded throughout the night.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, our guy did that. Like, he called people up and stuff. And he's just very low energy. I feel like I should have a bet or. I met one of the guys who's Beetlejuice at? What is it? The Tim Beetle Bar or whatever it is. There's a Tim Burton themed bar in Manhattan. I don't know if it's still open, but at the time I did a show and he emceed. There's like weird goth night I did, and I co hosted it with the fake Beetlejuice. But he was so good, and I was just like, man, my family would have loved having Beetlejuice host my wedding.

[Jared Campbell]

That's awesome.

[Zach Amico]

It would have been so funny.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

It's the Beetle House. Beetle House, not far from here.

[Jared Campbell]

Beetle House. It is open.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

I'd fuck with that place.

[Scott Chaplin]

Oh, dude. Getting trash.

[Jared Campbell]

Take some mushrooms.

[Zach Amico]

That just looks like the bars I go to, right? Yeah, that's perfect. But yeah, he was so fucking good. He had like. He had a noise like a honker in his. In his crotch. So he would. He go. And then grab his crotch and go, honk, honk.

[Scott Chaplin]

Oh, that's a blast.

[Zach Amico]

He had, like, all snakes and bugs and shit in his pockets. So be like, hold on, I got to read this. And like, reach in his pocket and take a snake out.

[Jared Campbell]

You know where I've gone twice now recently, because it's so fucking funny. And anytime, like, I'm at the stand and someone wants to go to a bar, I'm like, buddy, we gotta go to Coyote Ugly. Yeah, dude. It's so funny when you walk. It's so dark.

[Scott Chaplin]

They do the movie or.

[Jared Campbell]

No, it's. The movie was filmed there. It's all.

[Scott Chaplin]

They dance and they.

[Jared Campbell]

Dude, it. It's like a. It's like the strippers, before they go to the strip club, they're working at Coyote Ugly. And they go up every, like 10 minutes and they dance and it's just sad. It's like eight or nine people just standing around holding a beer watching them. They're always trying to, like, get people to Come over, squirt in their mouth. Nobody's down. Like, it's just this weird fucking environment that I thought.

[Zach Amico]

Is that the only. I think that's a chain. Isn't Coyote Ugly? If there's a.

[Jared Campbell]

That. That. That's the original one, the one it was filmed. And they have all the photos from the set and everything. And weirdly enough, dude, I went and watched that movie for my buddy's like, seventh grade birthday party, which was the oddest fucking choice for a movie for us to go watch. So when I went there, it was just like. It was. I don't know. There was oddly nostalgic, but it is a sad fucking place. We got to go, boys.

[Zach Amico]

That sound funny?

[Jared Campbell]

We got to go.

[Scott Chaplin]

Britney Spears is in that and she gets kicked down steps.

[Jared Campbell]

No, no. Crossroads.

[Scott Chaplin]

Crossroads, man. You're so.

[Zach Amico]

Dude, it's so funny. My friend's seventh grade birthday. We saw 28 days, the Sandra Bullock rehab movie.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, yeah, dude, I know that movie. I know that movie. Is that where they go off to, like, is there. Does she go off to see her family?

[Zach Amico]

All I remember is that Mike Ali is in it, right. Cuz I just. I just remember the guy from Guts was in it. Who then would be on.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

Yes.

[Scott Chaplin]

Great show. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Do you know the origin of the phrase Coyote Ugly?

[Jared Campbell]

No.

[Zach Amico]

Coyote Ugly. It's a phrase for when you wake up next to somebody after being blackout drunk and they're so gross, you rather chew your arm off than wake them up.

[Jared Campbell]

Really?

[Zach Amico]

To get out.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh. Cause your arms underneath.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. If you wake up cuddling with a real gross person, you rather eat your arm and run out the door. They'd be like, so how was your night?

[Jared Campbell]

Fuck, that's great.

[Zach Amico]

I had a girl fall asleep on my shoes once. Mm. And man, I really thought about walking home barefoot.

[Jared Campbell]

Where were your shoes?

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah, she fell asleep on the floor.

[Zach Amico]

We were on the floor. We were on the floor of her friend's place and she fell asleep all my shoes. And I really was like, how bad do I want these shoes? And how far is my walk.

[Scott Chaplin]

With the ruby slippers in the Wizard?

[Jared Campbell]

One time I went home with. This was years ago when I was visiting New York. It's probably like 11 or 12 years ago. And we went out to this bar, being a couple buddies. And there was this just. Just this very rude, rude woman from Arkansas there, right? And she was like, like, just like picture. Just like a tank at the end of the bar, right? She's giving people the finger. Just a dog, right? I go to my Wife. I'm like, I gotta go home with this girl tonight. This has to happen. So we go back. She happens to be in Queens, which is near where my buddy was staying. We get to the place, she's like, wait out here. She goes around back. I hear a bunch of noise. And right away I'm like, I don't even think this is their home. Right. She comes through, opens the door. We go in. She's staying on a couch in the living room. Like a pull out couch.

[Zach Amico]

Awesome.

[Jared Campbell]

Tell me to be quiet. I'm like, who lives here? Like, what is this? And then whatever, stay there. In the morning, I wake up, shake, you want a coffee? I'm like, yeah, I'll take a coffee. I hear her going to the kitchen. Microwave turns on. I'm like, oh no, dude, this is an old cup of coffee. And while she's in there, I roll over, I look at the floor and I see like welfare papers and this large tanned bra. Like, I gotta go, dude. And then I fuck. I took off out. Like, I said bye to her and I got out of there, but I left. To this day, I don't know whose home we were in. Yeah, what that was.

[Zach Amico]

Dude, that's a pretty fun one.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Do my. How do I totally incriminate. I have a friend whose fetish is meeting girls on apps. And for them to say, I want you to just come into my house, me. And leave without us talking and somehow.

[Scott Chaplin]

It'S allowed to be a fetish. That sounds like an uber preference.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, okay. Yeah, it's like some weird thing he has. Is a really nice guy. Other than that.

[Jared Campbell]

Sure.

[Zach Amico]

But that I was like, there's a lot of room for error, huh?

[Jared Campbell]

Sure.

[Zach Amico]

Because that's. That would be a hard thing to explain to a cop.

[Jared Campbell]

A hundred percent.

[Zach Amico]

Like, hold on, let me show you my texts.

[Jared Campbell]

What if she comes and she's like, am I at the right place? You ruined it. You ruined it. Get out of here.

[Zach Amico]

And he told us a story. 1. It was a bunch of us. He told a story. In it, the girl was like, yeah, I'm in my house, but don't. I live with my family, so make sure you go in the right door.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, fuck.

[Zach Amico]

And that's. I was like, dude, I couldn't. That's too much, dude. Like walking over children's shoes. Uh huh. To go half that would. Oh yeah, no, there's way too much margin for error here. Even if you walk into a kid's room and then walked back out and be like, I gotta Go.

[Jared Campbell]

You've already committed a crime on some level. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

You broke in.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

It seems. It seems like a trap.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Like to get creeps off the streets.

[Jared Campbell]

It does, right?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, like. Like an advanced version.

[Jared Campbell]

Hanson sitting at the table.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, so I heard you, like, anonymous.

[Scott Chaplin]

Just judging you.

[Jared Campbell]

Sorry, can I speak now? Yeah, I was told not to speak the fun.

[Zach Amico]

So I was such a Opie and Anthony mark my whole life when. And they would talk about To Catch a Predator all the time. And then one day, guy comes wearing a fucking Opiate Anthony shirt.

[Jared Campbell]

No kidding.

[Zach Amico]

Or if he was. Or I can't remember, was he wearing Opie Anthony shirt? Or he sees Chris Hansen goes, ah, have you seen the show before? He goes, yeah, they talk about you on Opie and Anthony all the time.

[Jared Campbell]

That's awesome.

[Zach Amico]

I feel like Anthony's like his Moby Dick like that. He's been trying to get him the whole time. Damn it. He steams. He keeps flying them to other states where my jurisdiction doesn't work. All right, let's get plugs out of the way. Hit that plug music. Jorge Scott, what do you want people to check out?

[Scott Chaplin]

Oh, gang, this Friday, I'm with Anthony DeVito somewhere in Connecticut at a winery. It'll be great. You know, go on my Instagram, Scott, underscore Chaplin. You can see that. And I'll be at Skank Fest in November. Come hang.

[Zach Amico]

Thank you. This is a fun little day. How's working stiff going?

[Scott Chaplin]

It's fun. It's fun. Wrestling is. I think it's the worst it's ever been. I was. Dude, I was thinking about it yesterday. I was like, why the fuck did I ever like this?

[Zach Amico]

I really is the first dude, for real yesterday. Ross been starting at 7. Ever, like, wrestling Rossman starting at 7. And I've been like, oh, thank God.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And then it started at 8 this week again. And I'm like, fuck, I gotta stay up till 11 with this shit.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah, it's the first time I realized that if I was a kid now, there's no way I would give up.

[Jared Campbell]

But.

[Scott Chaplin]

How old are you now? I'm 35 now.

[Jared Campbell]

So you were Attitude Era kid? Yeah, same dude I bled wrestling when.

[Zach Amico]

I was a kid.

[Jared Campbell]

That's why you liked it? Because the Attitude Era was perfect.

[Scott Chaplin]

It was exciting and everybody was kind of talking about it.

[Zach Amico]

Is that a great.

[Jared Campbell]

It is a deadly attitude. Arrow is fire.

[Scott Chaplin]

Right, Right.

[Zach Amico]

I actually think Attitude Era was great. And I think the era right after it is probably perfect. They call, I think, ruthless aggression.

[Scott Chaplin]

Oh, we're talking about like, when Angle and Eddie and.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, when Paul Hammond was writing Smackdown. It's like the B. When Brock was like, fucking tearing shit up.

[Jared Campbell]

Well, when did. When. When did the Attitude Era technically end?

[Zach Amico]

Early.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, it was like 9, 99, 2000, 2000.

[Scott Chaplin]

Because they bought WCW in 2001.

[Jeff Bridges]

So.

[Scott Chaplin]

True.

[Jared Campbell]

Okay, so I was a fan up until like a hardcore fan up until like 2002, 2003. Like, I went to WrestleMania in Toronto, which was, I think 2000, 2001.

[Zach Amico]

Austin and Brock were basically ships in the night.

[Jared Campbell]

So. No, but that was. I was still a fan at that time. So I watched Attitude through that time.

[Zach Amico]

Because people forget Austin was only big for, like, I actively wrestling from, what, 97 to do that. Because he was hurt for a long time.

[Scott Chaplin]

Getting hurt. Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

Didn't the Rocky wrestle for like six years, seven years? Like, that was a. It was all flash in the pan.

[Zach Amico]

But yeah, Austin was only like, huge for a couple years. And we act like it was like Hogan, like, where he was on top.

[Scott Chaplin]

For like 20 years because he felt like a TV character. Like all these Guys, you go, oh, it's wrestling. I'm watching wrestling. But he felt like it was the Stone Cold Steve Austin show. I mean that's why people tuned in. He felt like a movie star.

[Jared Campbell]

I think when you had the Rock and Stone Cold both at their height, when they were batting that that was as good as it got.

[Zach Amico]

Oh yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

And that, that Wrestlemania that I went to, that was Hogan versus the Rock. That was when the end of the Toronto.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Yeah. That's the best. That's one of the best manias.

[Jared Campbell]

One of the greatest nights about. I want to rewatch that match. I forget that was one of the best crowds ever for a match. Hogan says that's one of the. He want if he could fight one person again would be the Rock because of what that match felt like, right?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Also because he was a good guy.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

Because Austin kept saying no, but you remember the.

[Jared Campbell]

But there was a turn in the middle of that match.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was very interesting and it was old school wrestling where they, they listened to the crowd.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And they didn't do just what the storyline was. Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

It's a beautiful moment of like Hogan, we're not booing you.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

You're our hero, dude.

[Jared Campbell]

I got like, I got the right like photos from like an old camera, like the printed photos in my old photo album of like Rock and Hogan face to face in that ring. Like what a night.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Now it's just. I don't know, man, it's. Maybe it's cuz we're older. Maybe just the, the I want. I just feel like I'm not engaged in like anything.

[Scott Chaplin]

It's just a lot of corny.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. And I have no. Like I just. And when I'm watching, I'm literally going, man, I rather just put on something older.

[Jared Campbell]

Do you think it has to do with the fact of how much money's behind it now the machine.

[Zach Amico]

So tko, I think is fucking up. TKO is not. Well, first of all, the big problem for people who don't like wrestling. I apologize. Tko. I think their biggest mistake and they've outright said it, they're like, yeah, Vince McMahon's biggest mistake was that he kept it priced for families.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Right. And we are interested in. Dude, Shannon, can you look up what Wrestlemania tickets have cost over the years? And dude, the spike.

[Scott Chaplin]

I actually have a photo in my photo album that I sent someone yesterday. So I'll find it. Right.

[Jared Campbell]

I think mine were like 120 bucks.

[Zach Amico]

Dude, you gotta hear 2500 now.

[Scott Chaplin]

Okay, ready so right now it's. So this upcoming Wrestlemania is gonna be WrestleMania 42, I guess so. WrestleMania 30, the highest price ticket was $2,000. WrestleMania 39, the highest price ticket was $16,000. WrestleMania 42, the highest price tickets are $42,000. 200. Yeah. $42,219.

[Jared Campbell]

Didn't Bret Hart get burned at the last one? Was not a whole thing. Oh, yeah, Never seat for him. They invited him to have like a ringside seat. Then he got there. They didn't have. They just keep fucking disrespecting that.

[Zach Amico]

Back up in a second. Also, like, I was just listening to Nash talk about Kevin Nash, said him and Waltman got their royalty checks and they were like half of what they used to be. And because they're not publicly traded anymore, they don't have to report, like the breakdown. So he's like. He used to get like, this is NWO shirts. This is this. Now it just says this is what you made. He said they halved it.

[Jared Campbell]

Wow.

[Scott Chaplin]

No explanation.

[Zach Amico]

And so they're definitely fucking all the legends. But Shannon, you bring that back up that you just had. Thank you. So WrestleMania in 85, average ticket, 15 bucks. 2000 lower bowl tickets. So on the floor, 85.

[Jared Campbell]

Wow.

[Zach Amico]

WrestleMania 28, ringside seats, 1500. Now you go five years, 21, 30. Now the 2024 ringside seats, 10,000 the next year, average ticket, 1200 front row seats, $9,000 with upper level. So seats, 900 bucks.

[Jared Campbell]

Isn't that nice?

[Zach Amico]

That's on top of if you gotta get there, if you gotta stay somewhere where it's gonna be bananas.

[Jared Campbell]

Super bowl now. Yeah, the super bowl weekend.

[Zach Amico]

Right. Well, I think that's why so many European people go, because they can afford it. Because you go and it's like half people from, like, England and now and then, I gotta be honest with you, and this is gonna sound like I'm taking a stance, but I'm not. I have never watched one of the Saudi pay per views.

[Scott Chaplin]

Oh, I watched them because they're early.

[Zach Amico]

I'll watch them on like, I'll watch the highlights on YouTube.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

But I won't watch them. But I just think it sucks.

[Scott Chaplin]

Well, Mania is gonna be inside and.

[Zach Amico]

He'S gonna be the first Mania. I do not watch.

[Scott Chaplin]

Really?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. It's gonna fucking. Well, first of all, whoever they get to come out of retirement is going to be an embarrassment.

[Scott Chaplin]

It's going to be comical and they're going to pay a lot of guys a lot of money.

[Zach Amico]

So do you know about like Saudi not being like, up with who's on the shows.

[Jared Campbell]

No, but I know that they have a lot of fucking censorship rules.

[Zach Amico]

So the girls have to wrestle in Power Ranger outfits.

[Jared Campbell]

Cool.

[Zach Amico]

The first time they were there, the girls couldn't wrestle. The girls were not allowed to wrestle. Now they can wrestle, but they have to wear full Power Ranger.

[Jared Campbell]

Like, Buddy used to tune into a pay per view because you might see Sonny's tits.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, sometimes. Yeah, sometimes you would see a nice fat set of fucking black tits. Yeah. So when they did this thing, the greatest Royal Rumble. And the Saudi prince was like, I have a few requests for people. I would like to be in the match. Yeah. And he goes Undertaker, who was, I mean, held together. Yeah. Held together by fucking paperclips at that point. Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna.

[Jared Campbell]

There you go.

[Zach Amico]

Both were dead.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So they had a fake Yokozu. They had just a sumo guy who never wrestled before. And we never saw him again. But he was in that goddamn match. And I think he was going, they don't know the difference.

[Jared Campbell]

Let's see Saudi Benoit. Give me Saudi Benoit.

[Scott Chaplin]

Have you been seeing AI Benoit?

[Zach Amico]

Oh, my God. I hate it, man. I hate it.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

Cutting promos in the ring. I saw one where he's begging the devil not to go back to hel.

[Jared Campbell]

Hell, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

They've been doing a lot of AI wrestling stuff. So it'll be like Martin Luther king in the NWO. They had Bob Ross versus Mr. Rogers in a ladder match. And yeah, they're all gross, but the Ben Juan Eddie ones really bother me.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

You know what? The darkest thing, one of the darkest wrestling adjacent things I ever saw was when China on her downfall, poor girl. When. When she was doing porn and she did see. She did the Royal Rumble.

[Zach Amico]

Royal Rumble.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah. And it's all just guys that she actually. People dressed up as men that she actually used to work with.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

And it was like, that was the saddest fucking thing I've ever seen.

[Zach Amico]

Can I tell you, my friend was Mean Dream.

[Jared Campbell]

No kidding.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. That's my buddy Tommy. That is my former. Former sketch comedian turned pornography turned porn legend.

[Jared Campbell]

Well, Tommy Pistol got to exercise that. That sketch gear a little bit.

[Zach Amico]

He does all the parody porns. Like, that's what he's famous for. He does. He does really good character work.

[Jared Campbell]

That's funny.

[Zach Amico]

He's Pee Wee. He was the Joker. He was. Well, he was ash and evil head.

[Jared Campbell]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, he's. He's like. He does really good impressions. And yeah, he was me g To the. I was like I'll do my friend. Fuck China.

[Scott Chaplin]

I mean I was a kid but when she got all the surgery and was on the COVID of Playboy, I as a kid I thought she was hot. I didn't think she was enough.

[Jared Campbell]

Dude, I couldn't have been more excited for that plate.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah, I thought she was a hot lady.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah. No, she was. There was a good couple when she showed up and she had like the giant chin. Yeah, that's a totally different too, right?

[Jared Campbell]

Oh yeah. She was a kind of a zero as a wrestler though.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. But she's done.

[Jared Campbell]

But I mean D Generation X at that time was just badass.

[Zach Amico]

But yeah, once they put up their own video.

[Jared Campbell]

What their home video had titties in it?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah. When Triple H tells the girls to.

[Jared Campbell]

Flag that was a big deal.

[Zach Amico]

But anyway, so they're the Saudi mania and they're definitely gunning for guys to come out of retirement like taker Austin. I think the big one. They're going to because they're doing a rumble there first.

[Scott Chaplin]

You're.

[Zach Amico]

That's going to be. That's going to be Kane's retirement, I think because he's already said he's like training.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah, well he said he's open to go because it's this January.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

The Saudi Royal Rumble.

[Zach Amico]

Yuck.

[Scott Chaplin]

Oh, you're getting every do. You're getting Kevin Nash's diesel.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

It's gonna be horrible.

[Scott Chaplin]

Why not?

[Zach Amico]

They're gonna have to throw so much money at those guys to get on a plant.

[Jared Campbell]

Guys whose bodies and fucking first class all the way there the dude.

[Zach Amico]

I don't care how nice it'll fucking those flights. Well if they cheap on it now.

[Jared Campbell]

One thing we know that the Saudis will do is give you enough money to go do it.

[Zach Amico]

Do you think we're gonna get. You think we're gonna everybody as their original character.

[Jared Campbell]

They'll get everyone.

[Scott Chaplin]

Foley is going to show up as mankind.

[Zach Amico]

You think Foley would do so I.

[Scott Chaplin]

Don'T know why Foley hasn't been around. I mean if like Triple H runs the show and anyone who watched knows that Mick Foley kind of made Triple H. I don't know how he isn't just throwing money constantly to do things for them. Well, there's clearly like an actual beef or something.

[Zach Amico]

Well, Foley said that this tour he's doing is his last like his comedy tour and he wants to be done like he said he wants to like ride to the sunset.

[Jared Campbell]

Right.

[Scott Chaplin]

He must be in pain.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, of course. Of course he Is that guy's just got to be broken. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I think he wants to be done. And, I mean, Triple H kind of was pretty shitty to him a few times.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Call him a Muppet. And this was like, not on air. Like, that was like an extension of real life beef.

[Scott Chaplin]

Right, Right.

[Zach Amico]

And, you know, suppose I don't think they're the nicest people.

[Jared Campbell]

No, wait, let me stop you right there. You tell me Triple H isn't the nicest guy in real life.

[Scott Chaplin]

His wife Stephanie, that whole family.

[Zach Amico]

That whole family, she definitely don't live together.

[Scott Chaplin]

They live together. They don't live together, but they live together.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I will say Triple H was so dismissive of me when I met him that it made me like him more, really. Because he had no reason to be mean to me. But I think he knew it would make me happy.

[Jared Campbell]

Okay. I like that.

[Zach Amico]

I was working for MTV at the time, and it was my job. We were doing a show. I was working on a show that delivered episodes day of. So, like, we would deliver an episode and it would be on the air the next day. And there was some problem where I had to stay up all night while they finished the episode and exported it and take it on tape to 1515 Broadway, the big MTV building to really hand it to the guy who's putting it on TV.

[Scott Chaplin]

Right?

[Zach Amico]

So it's like 8 in the morning and in TV land, nobody's in the building. Trust me. Like, people don't. If you have a creative job for MTV, you're not strolling until 11. And it was so funny. I worked there for years. Every time I came to the front door with bags of drives they would go food deliveries on the other side. I worked there for five years and they kept thinking I was delivery guy.

[Jared Campbell]

That's awesome.

[Zach Amico]

So I bring tape over and now it's. The building's fucking empty. And I'm walking one way down this big hallway and here comes fucking Triple H and Stephanie. It's. Triple H has got the full suit on, Steph's dress. They look beautiful. And it's so early in the morning. This had to be some big meeting. And they had it. They definitely wanted to do it when nobody was in the building.

[Jared Campbell]

Right.

[Zach Amico]

And here comes fucking stupid fat me in an NWO T shirt. And we're the only three people, I think, on the floor of the building. And I didn't want to bother him. Didn't want. I wanted a picture real bad, sure. But I didn't ask. And I just threw up a two Sweet, dude. AAA just looks at me and goes, nah, man. And Stephanie laughed in my face, and they kept walking.

[Jared Campbell]

And I was like, actually, that is what you want out of that interaction.

[Zach Amico]

That's so much better than if he gave me one. Like, I was. If he had make a wish, given me a T. Sweet. That would have been so shitty.

[Jared Campbell]

Uhhuh.

[Zach Amico]

In the long run, for him to turn me down and heal me in front of everybody.

[Jared Campbell]

Pretty awesome.

[Zach Amico]

The man.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

I remember when I was a kid, I went to get John Cena's autograph, and, you know, you're just excited. And when I was leaving, I said, all right, I'll see you Monday. And he's like, what? What's going on? And I was like, oh, I'm gonna watch you on Raw.

[Zach Amico]

And I was like, oh.

[Scott Chaplin]

Monday.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, hell yeah, dude.

[Scott Chaplin]

Because I'll be watching.

[Jared Campbell]

I see you every Monday.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, that's great.

[Jared Campbell]

That's tough.

[Zach Amico]

That is. That is brutal.

[Jared Campbell]

It's so funny. What's happening Monday?

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah, you're gonna be like, what's happening Monday?

[Jared Campbell]

I'm like, sir, you're gonna blow my mind like you do every Monday, Mr. C. Cena.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Jared Campbell]

That one's kept you up a few times.

[Scott Chaplin]

Oh, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah. Oh, this is fun. Thank you. All right, we got a few stories we can hit real quick. Okay. Man is arrested on terror charges over disturbing Halloween display of fake body bags with town officials titles. This does seem like a threat.

[Scott Chaplin]

That's a threat.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, dude.

[Zach Amico]

This seems like a threat also, again.

[Jared Campbell]

That goes into how small is the town? Like, how personal is. Oh, it's just. Okay. I thought he had their names. That's it.

[Zach Amico]

Look at that. So it's mayor. Wow.

[Jared Campbell]

Jesus. The judge.

[Zach Amico]

District judge. What is that something? Is ca. Something Attorney.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yes. I have no idea.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon, do we know what those stand for?

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

I. Hold on. I gotta click.

[Jared Campbell]

So this guy wasn't allowed to cut down a tree or something?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, this is definitely.

[Jared Campbell]

Or it couldn't build his fence one foot to the right.

[Scott Chaplin]

You can't even put real dead people names on your fake tombstones. They have to be, like, silly.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, really?

[Scott Chaplin]

No, I'm just. If you walked by someone's props and they had real names.

[Zach Amico]

Charlie Kirk.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

You'd go, what the fuck? It's always, like, a silly, funny feel.

[Jared Campbell]

Political.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah. Mr. Bones, he was.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah. Sneeze and Ed.

[Scott Chaplin]

Right, Right. Yeah, exactly.

[Zach Amico]

Sneezing Ed. He had too much fun in the 80s. Right, right. Yeah. Shannon, what do you have for us, babe.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

It's. It's not giving me the specifics there, but it says that they are holding him on a $5,000 bond and it's. Yeah. For making terroristic threats.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. This is definitely a guy who had like, wanted to put an addition on his house.

[Jared Campbell]

That's it. Some simple.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. And he. He was gonna. Oh, yeah, there he is.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, hell yeah, there he is.

[Zach Amico]

This is a guy that has problem with the local government.

[Jared Campbell]

Ah, yeah, this guy. This guy's.

[Zach Amico]

This guy has yelling at a. Removed from a town meeting all over him.

[Jared Campbell]

I think this guy's a sovereign citizen.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

Identify as part of that.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah, it's like Ed Sylvania or something. The state of Ed Sylvania. He has his own currency. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

He doesn't show id.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, these are Ed Bucks.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah. He doesn't open the door for cops because he doesn't recognize them.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, that. This guy's got guns.

[Jared Campbell]

It sure does. He's probably got muskets.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's. Oh, boy. That's not a guy you want to sit next to at a bar.

[Jared Campbell]

No, no, no.

[Zach Amico]

That's going to take a dark turn real quick. You're going to start hearing about a lot of people he's got problems with. Yeah, yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

This guy buried a short bus somewhere out in the field building a fucking bunker.

[Zach Amico]

Ever since my son died.

[Jared Campbell]

Do you think he couldn't get. Couldn't get clearance on his bunker?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

That's not digging that hole.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. And we just. Listen, you're going to take five fucking holes.

[Jared Campbell]

One for the district Attorney.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

Yes. So here's the best picture.

[Scott Chaplin]

Oh, it's ice.

[Jared Campbell]

No. What is ice? Like, what's the.

[Scott Chaplin]

Oh, look, they're skeletons.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, they got the. Oh, and there's Mexicans. Jesus Christ.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, wait, did you say they're split on this one?

[Zach Amico]

The town is split.

[Jared Campbell]

Of course. Yeah. That makes sense.

[Zach Amico]

I gotta tell you, it's funny.

[Scott Chaplin]

It is. It looks kind of cool.

[Zach Amico]

If they would daily. Okay. No, the funnies, if those were dressed like real Mexicans, dirty sleeve shirts, and.

[Jared Campbell]

Timberlands guys using a home Hardware bucket.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

And.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, one of them was standing on a Home Depot to get over it.

[Jared Campbell]

But the funniest part about that is the split. Yeah, right?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

That's the best.

[Zach Amico]

The poncho scallion. Dude, I'll. My senior year, we had a senior year Halloween dance, and me and my friend o' Neill went together. And o' Neill was a Mexican and I was a border patrol agent. And I had a mullet and a mustache and a flashlight and a badge. And I dressed like a cop, but I had, like, INS logos. I went to an army Navy store and got immigration logos to put on the shirt. And he wore a pot. He was a Puerto Rican kid, and he wore a poncho, a sombrero, and a big fake mustache.

[Jared Campbell]

Ahead of your time, man.

[Zach Amico]

And just to think how inappropriate that was. Sure. Not that long. I mean, 2005, were.

[Scott Chaplin]

Were kids going to school in blackface on Halloween?

[Zach Amico]

Not. No. I think that we knew not to do that.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah, I remember, like, kids would get sent home.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

Where I was from, like, if you.

[Jared Campbell]

Showed up, I mean, bro.

[Scott Chaplin]

But it did happen.

[Jared Campbell]

I'm from Canada, dude. Our fucking. Our. Our last prime minister was doing blackface on Halloween, dude. And he was a teacher.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

There'd always be, like, a kid who. He knew what he was doing, you know, but he'd be like, no, I'm an. I'm a basketball player. And they. Yeah, go the fuck home.

[Jared Campbell]

No, you got to have dinner, though, at that kid's house, listen to his dad talk. I mean, that. That's not coming. That's not just coming from the kid's fucking head.

[Jeff Bridges]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

I remember this black kid was arguing with another kid in my class, and my teacher was like, guys, stop, Stop. And he was like, no, fuck him. He has a swastika tattooed on him. And he just showed it to me. And the teacher was like, what? You got a swastika tattooed on you? And the kid showed him, and he was like, go to. Get out of my class. Go to the office. And then, like, 20 minutes later, he just came back and he was like, yeah, it's a tattoo. Like, I'm allowed to have a tattoo on my arm.

[Jared Campbell]

Principal says, we good.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

And then he just was in class and the teacher was like, that's crazy.

[Zach Amico]

And he was in high school. He had a swastika.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

And it was. And I remember him explaining it that a friend gave it to him at a party. Oh, it wasn't. He didn't go get it. It was just, you know, kids hanging out that weekend. And so he's like, look, I got a swastika tattoo.

[Jared Campbell]

It is one of those things where you, like, it's just a super fucking stupid thing that you wouldn't even think of the consequences. I mean, the kid's obviously an idiot moron.

[Scott Chaplin]

But, yeah, it was like, peak jackass, too. Like, sometimes those things, it's like, no, it's a stunt.

[Jared Campbell]

That's gonna be a stunt. You get a dick, dude. You don't get a swastika.

[Zach Amico]

I would get a swastika of dicks right now.

[Jared Campbell]

Sure.

[Zach Amico]

Because I would be like, please get mad at that. It's hilarious. Black dick. I would get multicolored. I would get multicultural black. Yeah. Every dick would be a different RA.

[Scott Chaplin]

I like that.

[Zach Amico]

I would even have one be Joe Ish.

[Jared Campbell]

So it's actually unified.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

One uncircumcised dick.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

Black dick.

[Zach Amico]

It would be like. Like the black and the white hand shaking.

[Jared Campbell]

Sure.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. It would get you all. Yeah, all different colored. Hey, tattoo artists.

[Jared Campbell]

No, but you get it. But. But what if you get it not on the 45 degree angle, the old Buddhist.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah. Buddha style.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Zach Amico]

Fine. There you go. I've been accused of having racist tattoos.

[Scott Chaplin]

Which ones?

[Zach Amico]

By Sergeant Kabuki man back here, a lady thought it was an iron eagle, and as I was getting on the subway, told a bunch of people that I was a white. A white terrorist, and not to get on the subway with me. But I Had my headphones in so I only heard the second part. And I was like, where is he? Let's get him. And then I realized everyone was looking at me.

[Jared Campbell]

You were the guy.

[Zach Amico]

Then I was like, oh, me? Oops.

[Scott Chaplin]

My brother in law has a giant maze on his arm, but it just looks like a thing. Thousand swastikas.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, no.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah, it's just a big old maze. But yeah.

[Zach Amico]

My mom's cousin, my senior year of high school, we had like a graduation party on my deck. And he popped the top to throw out the colors and went poorly. And he just put his shirt back on and continued to drink his beer. Went poorly. Went poorly. Yeah, he had a big iron. He had a big turn to add normal. He had the iron cross on his chest.

[Scott Chaplin]

Cool.

[Zach Amico]

And a couple other pieces. No swastis, but a couple. And like everyone was just like. Yeah. And he was just like, oh. I think he thought it was gonna be like a big hit. It was my. My mom's cousin George, who no one likes. He still lived with his mom.

[Jared Campbell]

Sure he did. So I was so pissed off.

[Zach Amico]

And he just wanted to talk to everybody about the show Dark Shadows. He's probably autistic. Before we knew what that was.

[Scott Chaplin]

Clearly.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. And yeah, he popped his top like, I mean, ready to. Ready to make friends and just bombed.

[Jared Campbell]

Seems like a good place is any.

[Zach Amico]

To take this off. Oh, this high school graduation party full of people who don't know me.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, fuck, what was his name?

[Zach Amico]

George.

[Jared Campbell]

George. That's so good.

[Zach Amico]

Uncle George. Cousin Georgie. And we don't talk about cousin Georgie that much. Oh, dude, that's so I had two years ago, I had. When I still used to wear Doc Martens. I had somebody check my laces once.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, yeah. Were they red?

[Zach Amico]

Well, no, I just have regular black. Actually, I think I'm back. I might have had pink laces.

[Jared Campbell]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

Because, you know, I'm a fruit.

[Jared Campbell]

What we're looking for is yellow, Right? That's what we want.

[Zach Amico]

Well, we want white or red, I think. Right?

[Jared Campbell]

No, red is.

[Zach Amico]

Is spilled blood.

[Jared Campbell]

Red is skinhead. Yellow is like what punks were.

[Zach Amico]

Okay, well, I thought white was white supremacist.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, maybe.

[Zach Amico]

I think white is white supremacist. And Shannon, if you could look it up. Red is. I spill blood for my race.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, yeah. And then because at the time. Because punks and skinheads look the same. So if you looked at the boots and they had yellow laces, that was a punk. So they were anti skinhead.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

Boots and braces. Yellow Laces.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. I was staying at a motel before my friend's wedding. Ah. White. White supremacy. Blue. Protest of police brutality. Red. Neo Nazi, anti racist. Anti racist. Purple. G. Pride. Green. Neutral. Black. No affiliation. I had either pink or black laces.

[Jared Campbell]

I got docs right now, and they're. They're black. So I. I'm good.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

They come in black.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, they kind of come in black.

[Zach Amico]

And I was staying at a motel with a bunch of friends for a wedding. And there were two guys next door, and it was me and my friend Pat were outside and we were drinking in the morning. It was a wedding. And these two guys, they were drinking next to us. Like, they literally had, like, lawn chairs. Like they lived at the motel. And they were both welders, which already gonna be scary. And the guy goes, hey, we're gonna take a cab over to the liquor store. Does anybody need anything? And all I could think was, wow, these guys both have so many DUIs. Neither of them can drive to the liquor store.

[Jared Campbell]

Hell yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And then we were putting our boots on, get ready for the wedding, and they both took their shirts off and went, let's see your laces. And they both had swastikas on them.

[Jared Campbell]

Clicked up.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

Jesus Christ.

[Zach Amico]

Very specific experience. I don't think a lot of other people get Nazi checked.

[Jared Campbell]

Right. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Never been my thing. What can I say? No interest.

[Jared Campbell]

Not about it.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I think that. I think it's silly.

[Jared Campbell]

You can miss me with that Nazi.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I just, you know, I frown upon it.

[Scott Chaplin]

It's corny.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it is. It's kind of lame.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

There's no fun to it. Well, this is a weird transition. I read a weird thing about Jews today. I really did. I sent this to Shannon this morning. I watched a video, and maybe it's not 100% true. Maybe it is. But it was about. Again, very weird transition. Do you guys know Jews aren't allowed to tear toilet paper on.

[Scott Chaplin]

On the Sabbath.

[Zach Amico]

On the Sabbath?

[Jared Campbell]

Why isn't that a technology?

[Scott Chaplin]

So what? It's already kind of stacked up. They tear it because it's too much work.

[Zach Amico]

Well, I have this gentleman here. Tell us about it. And it's all the rules of us.

[Informative Voice]

Not allowed to rip toilet paper on Saturdays. In Judaism, tearing TP is considered too much work, and as a result, it is strictly forbidden to do on the Shabbat. Instead, Jews are encouraged to pre rip toilet paper the day before. Well, there goes my Friday night. But what happens if a Jew forgets to pre rip or needs to drop a Deuce in public. Well, fear not, because autorah.org has some great tips for Jews taking shits. Try asking a non Jew to rip Torah.

[Scott Chaplin]

They're having their maids a hand under the stall.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

Hey, buddy, send me a few squares.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, the spare. Can you spare a square? First of all, that is a high. That is a high request. If it's a stranger, if it's someone you know, I think you could be like, hey, could you tear? Like, give me a few pieces? Yeah, but to go to a stranger is ballsy.

[Scott Chaplin]

Well, right. And. Well, and you don't know how much you're going to shit. What if you have the run?

[Jared Campbell]

Well, I'll tell you what. That. That's your problem, Pat. I'll send you a couple squares, but anything past that. Yeah, you're done.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I'm gonna start charging.

[Jared Campbell]

That's it. Also, the work is, can they exchange money?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's not like they're going to use a dollar bill.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, send a couple shekels over here and I'll send another square.

[Scott Chaplin]

The work is in the wiping. It's not in the tearing of the toilet paper.

[Jared Campbell]

That's right.

[Scott Chaplin]

Moving your hand back there, I agree.

[Zach Amico]

But there's more to this toilet paper.

[Informative Voice]

Without tearing it, just put the used part in the toilet and flush.

[Zach Amico]

Y.

[Informative Voice]

This one sounds a lot like one of my old middle school pranks. If you have no choice but to tear toilet paper, then it's allowed. This is because it's better to break the shabbot than lose one's dignity. This is known as the principle of kavad hagriat. But if you do, make sure to tear between the perforated lines.

[Zach Amico]

Way more work.

[Informative Voice]

And not along them.

[Jared Campbell]

Way more work.

[Informative Voice]

Also, try to tear an uneven length.

[Zach Amico]

Do it in a silly way, in.

[Informative Voice]

An irregular manner, like with your fists. Be sure to mutter.

[Zach Amico]

It's okay if you tear the toilet paper. Just do it all retarded.

[Jared Campbell]

So when you walk. When you walk into it, like a.

[Zach Amico]

Feeling, like a real.

[Scott Chaplin]

On your face.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

When the toilet's all up in public, it's like that. That's. That's not somebody fucking around. That's the shallot.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. That's some fucking Jew logging up some fucking Jew out of shit. Next time you go into a men's room and it's clogged with toilet paper, just go, jeez.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, there you go.

[Zach Amico]

But keep it, keep it. Oh, yeah, you have to mutter to.

[Informative Voice]

Yourself, Hamav Dil to yourself. This one's not on the website, but if you run out of tp, you can always just use the Torah or Talmud.

[Zach Amico]

That's a joke.

[Jared Campbell]

So when there's.

[Zach Amico]

That's him being silly.

[Jared Campbell]

So there's a janitor in there and he just hears somebody. He goes.

[Zach Amico]

He's gone. This is gonna be a problem. I'm off in 15 minutes.

[Jared Campbell]

No, you're not.

[Zach Amico]

Hey, Shlomo. Just. I'll tear it for you.

[Jared Campbell]

Have you started the ritual?

[Zach Amico]

Just wait. What a fucking pain in the ass.

[Scott Chaplin]

It's the Jim Carrey beating himself up in the bathroom scene. A Jewish guy wiping his ass.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

What are you doing in here? I'm shitting the shit out of myself. The coin in my hand is gold.

[Jared Campbell]

There you go. Not gonna get better than that. All right.

[Zach Amico]

That was fun. All right, this is a very for me story, but I think Shannon will like it, too. Shannon, who is Zach Baggins?

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

He's the, like, very douchebaggy Ghost Adventures guy. The one who, like, yells at the ghosts and stuff. I'm gonna pull up an older picture of him so you can remember. He's like, a douche.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

Here. Here's some. This one, I feel like.

[Zach Amico]

Yep. All right.

[Jared Campbell]

Nice. This guy.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so what did he. What do we got from. He's made the news this week. What do we got, Shannon?

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

So he has. From an auction several years ago, he has the cauldron that Ed Gein used to, I guess, separate the body parts that held blood and entrails in his.

[Zach Amico]

Barn to boil stuff.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

Right.

[Jared Campbell]

So this guy outbid you?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, unfortunately.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

So he, up until now, in his, like, haunted museum, kept it behind glass, but for the season, and because the show just came out, he's taking the glass away so that people can get a better look. But you're not allowed to touch it because it's supposed to be super cursed. And they believe that Ed Gein's soul is attached to it.

[Zach Amico]

Is there any photos?

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

There's this one. I don't know if this is actually Ed Gein or just their picture. That's not Ed Gein, right?

[Zach Amico]

No, no.

[Scott Chaplin]

And then it's Casey Rocket.

[Jared Campbell]

It's more like Robert Pickton, actually.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

And then here's. Yeah, he has the.

[Zach Amico]

Okay, that's behind glass. Okay.

[Scott Chaplin]

That's a bucket. Okay.

[Jared Campbell]

That's a walk.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Would I go see this? Yes.

[Jared Campbell]

Yes, you would.

[Zach Amico]

A hundred percent.

[Jared Campbell]

Would you try to touch it? Of course you would.

[Zach Amico]

No, no, no, no, no. You're afraid again.

[Jared Campbell]

Didn't they just put it didn't monster just come out? The new Ed Gein's.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I'm sure that's why he's doing it, right? I'm not even. Shannon, watch it. I'm not. I watched your energy drink. No, no, it's in the new monster series.

[Jared Campbell]

They always do, like.

[Zach Amico]

They. Yeah, it's. What's his name? Ryan Murphy.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, they're good. Yeah, I like them. I haven't seen this new one yet.

[Zach Amico]

I'm not. It's the fucking hot guy from fucking Sons of Anarchy is Ed Gein. And Ed Gein was like a shrimpy little old man.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah. But you gotta fucking put a little pizzazz.

[Zach Amico]

I don't like this sexifying of serial. Like, it's interesting.

[Scott Chaplin]

You have to sexify everybody.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Like they watching as a kid.

[Jared Campbell]

Dahmer.

[Zach Amico]

They sexified Disney Channel guy. They had Zac Efron be Bundy.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

The only person they're never gonna make sexy is John Wayne Gacy. And that hurts my feelings.

[Jared Campbell]

That's coming out too, right? That's a whole. Yeah, there's a John Wayne Gacy coming out, but it's not the monster series. But he has a. There's a show coming out.

[Scott Chaplin]

But yeah, like, Manson is like a type of dude.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, well, Manson's for girls that are attracted to Jesus.

[Scott Chaplin]

Right.

[Zach Amico]

But he was just a tiny little guy.

[Jared Campbell]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

But, yeah, Eddie is like a tiny little. And I think it's unfair to call him a serial killer.

[Scott Chaplin]

I know. I'm not. What did he do?

[Zach Amico]

So Ed Gein, they thought he was. So he's the basis very loosely for Psycho, Texas Chainsaw and Silence of the Lambs.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, wow.

[Scott Chaplin]

Okay. Did this happen then?

[Zach Amico]

50, 60. Shannon.

[Scott Chaplin]

I mean, if he's the basis of Psycho.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

Yeah, it was the. The 50s. I believe he was caught in 57.

[Zach Amico]

Thank you. So he. When the cops went to his house, it was full of bond, like. Like skulls, his bowls, bones everywhere. A box of vaginas under the bed. He painted some of them silver and put ribbons on him. He was a crafty guy. He had a lot. He had a lot of time on his hands.

[Jared Campbell]

Some dried macaroni.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was making projects. Yeah. Now, as far as what people know, because they were like, this guy's a prolific mass murderer when they saw the house. Really? He was a grave robber.

[Jared Campbell]

He was a collector.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And he killed two ladies who both looked like his mom. And he was making a skin suit. He claimed that he had one, that he would dress up in women's skin and make a suit. So that's as far as. That's what Buffalo Bill was doing. Leatherface's mask and Texas Chainsaw and then Psycho. The mother thing. That's all Ed Gein. In the book, edgy Norman Bates is actually a short, fat guy. So I think they think. Some people think he killed his brother because his brother died in an accident on the farm and he was the only one that was there.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, he killed his brother.

[Zach Amico]

Probably killed his brother. And some people think he might have killed his mom.

[Jared Campbell]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

But I think he was just a free. And then, yes, he did kill two fat ladies and then dress them like deer.

[Scott Chaplin]

Okay, wait, like the animal.

[Zach Amico]

No, no. Dresses in, hang upside down, gut bleed out and separate for parts. Right. Whoa, now. Sure.

[Jared Campbell]

Thought I knew.

[Zach Amico]

Do I have some of the floor of the hardwood? The hardware store he did that in.

[Scott Chaplin]

Jesus.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

Do you really?

[Zach Amico]

Do I have the vinyl sign for his car when they used to take it to World's Fairs? Sure. Does my friend Babette, who I mentioned earlier, have the pulley system from the farm that he used to string those women up?

[Jared Campbell]

Fuck. Sure.

[Zach Amico]

Tell you what.

[Jared Campbell]

You don't have the cauldron.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. I'll tell you, that would be a good one. That'd be a hot item. I would. I would want to say it.

[Jared Campbell]

The pulley system's a bit fucking much, dude.

[Zach Amico]

Well, that she goes to police auctions with John Waters and they. They try and outbid each other on silly serial killer items.

[Jared Campbell]

Silly.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Yeah. He has a bunch of quirky. He has a bunch of. I can't remember John. She was telling me, John has a birdhouse that's a replica of some serial killers. Like, victim scene. And he's like. There's, like, no pictures. Like, it's not, like, a thing. He's like, look at how crazy. I. It's just what he has in his birdhouse.

[Jared Campbell]

He's working on his little bird houses.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I would want to see that. That's pretty. Yeah, that's.

[Scott Chaplin]

Didn't Matt Rife buy a bunch of.

[Zach Amico]

He bought the Annabelle house.

[Jared Campbell]

We talked about this last time.

[Zach Amico]

Yes, yes. He bought the Annabelle house. And he's gonna turn it. I guarantee it's gonna be a TV show.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, that's what we were. We kind of landed on. Right. Is that he's using that as some promotional tool because the way that he announced it and everything, like, that's. That's a partnership with somebody.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

They also went. Because they stopped doing tours for a long time of that. Of the. The Warren's museum. And then once, because Matt Rife bought it along with this like YouTuber guy. And so once they bought it, they put it up so that you can go there and spend, like get locked in and like spend overnight there. And they put it up and it's. It's all sold out. And it's $2,000 a person for like four hours.

[Zach Amico]

WrestleMania.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

And it was sold out for months and months and months because I went to check the price.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, naturally.

[Jared Campbell]

Cool.

[Zach Amico]

I don't think there's anything I could do that one. Four hours. That's not a problem. I could do it.

[Scott Chaplin]

It's the money.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. I wouldn't pay for it, but I could, I could get through it. It's the money, dude.

[Jared Campbell]

I could go to the house. I don't give a fuck about that.

[Scott Chaplin]

I think that's the. It's. With me, I just go fake a house, you know, like, that's why I like going to haunted houses. Like, oh, it's a fake thing. Sure. Fun. I would feel the difference between a haunted house and a fake haunted house is your brain telling yourself the difference. Otherwise they're both fake haunted houses.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

You know what I'm saying?

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah. True.

[Zach Amico]

So you also realize these fake quote unquote, haunted house is full of the saddest p. As someone who's done multiple haunt seasons, it's full of some real sad out of work actors.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, yeah. Especially here gig.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. And it's by the way, brutal job.

[Jared Campbell]

No doubt. Hiding it under a fucking floorboard.

[Zach Amico]

When I did it on our busy nights, we had to reset the room every minute. And you would work, I think five to three in the morning with one swing. Who would replace you for 45 minutes so you could go eat and. Wow. Everyone got punched a lot, of course.

[Jared Campbell]

Right?

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

Right.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah. Yeah, you would. You'd probably eat a few every shift.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, you do. I had a lady try and press charges on me. She said I spit in her face.

[Jared Campbell]

You did.

[Zach Amico]

I really didn't.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yes, you did.

[Zach Amico]

I walked her politely out of the room and I called her a cunt.

[Jared Campbell]

There you go.

[Zach Amico]

And I said, lady, you're being a real. You're up my whole show. Please leave. And then she went to the police and said that I grabbed her by the shoulders and spit in her face.

[Jared Campbell]

What a cunt.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, right. And then my. My boss had to come get me. And they're like, hey, the police are here for you. That lady's pressing charges. Wow. I think that happened to every one of us. Somebody at some point, the police came, and they were like, yeah, we're not gonna do anything. Like, we just have to come. But, like. Like, you didn't do that, right? And I was like, nope. Like, yeah, all right. We're on your side. And I think even they were like, this lady's being a real fucking.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, no doubt.

[Zach Amico]

Because the first thing she started yelling as she was going through the haunted house was yelling. And she's like, I bet you all make minimum wage, correct? Yeah, of course.

[Jared Campbell]

You can't.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. I'm covered in blood, screaming at people. I'd pay to be here.

[Scott Chaplin]

It's only open for six weeks.

[Jared Campbell]

We're unionizing.

[Zach Amico]

It's open for six weeks. I am here to yell and make black ladies fall down. There's black women in groups. They're like fainting goats. If you get the. Because they always put the fat girl in the front. It's like a shield.

[Jared Campbell]

Sure, sure.

[Zach Amico]

And if you get. Yeah. If you get them. Yeah. The fridge. If you get the front one real good, she'll pass out.

[Jared Campbell]

Strike.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. And just take the whole group with it. Oh, dude, that was fun. I only broke once to tell a little kid that that is because I'm.

[Jared Campbell]

Gonna spit in your mom's face.

[Zach Amico]

They separated a group, and he. It was a little kid lost their mom.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And I broke. And I was like, hey, your mom's fine. We're all playing pretend. She's gonna be right around this corner. I'm gonna walk you over to her. Okay. Right now. And that made me feel better, because the last time I had a kid be shitty to me. I'm doing my act. And I was Southern in it. And this little kid goes, your breath stinks. And I went, hell, yeah, it does. Cause I've been eating your mother's pussy. And then I looked up, and his mother was holding him, and I went, nice to see you again, ma'. Am. I think we got some complaints on that one.

[Jared Campbell]

Good recovery, though.

[Zach Amico]

I think we got a few complaints that night. We used to collect items that fell off of people.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

If you scared, like, an accessory off of somebody in a costume, you would keep it. And we had trophy room.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, that's nice.

[Zach Amico]

And then you would. How many people piss their pants that night? And you got, like, two or three a year that would themselves.

[Jared Campbell]

Nice. How do you confirm. You know.

[Scott Chaplin]

You know when you know. You know, you.

[Zach Amico]

If one of us. Right now.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

It would be very different.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

But you would not. Water.

[Jared Campbell]

Yes.

[Scott Chaplin]

All the difference.

[Jared Campbell]

The water is.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah. If you don't shit in water. It's crazy.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

Going on.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. And it really. It dissipates it quick. Well, think about it. Even how bad a Porta Potty is.

[Jared Campbell]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

Or if you not enough water, the starts stacking.

[Zach Amico]

Have you ever been on a. An RV or a tour bus? When somebody shits and it's just sitting there, the whole tour bus stinks in, like an hour. Yeah, it is not good. Not. Not. Not good. Dude, we. I got accused of shitting on the RV at Gathering of the Juggalos. It was me, Louis, Jay, and Butterly. And our RV stunk, and I, of course, being the fat person, even though I was the last one on, got accused of being the shitter.

[Jared Campbell]

Yeah, right.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And I had to explain, and thankfully, Jay had my back. She's like, zach's probably been on more of these than all of us on tours. Zach definitely would not shit out here.

[Jared Campbell]

I feel like if there's ever a place so where the smell of shit can get lost, it's at the Gathering of the Juggalos.

[Zach Amico]

Y. Especially when they start knocking over the Porta Potties.

[Scott Chaplin]

Sure.

[Zach Amico]

But, yes, that was a bit. Then we found out it was because they hadn't changed the tank for the toilet.

[Scott Chaplin]

So you.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

You were dealing with someone else's shit.

[Zach Amico]

And every time somebody went, they would not hold the thing there, like, basically. So it's like a little trap door. So you go. You piss, and then you hit the. It's almost like a foot thing, and it empties real quick.

[Jared Campbell]

It's like an airplane.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, exactly like that. But people were holding it too long, and that was the smell that was getting everybody. So, you know, case solved. Shannon, I got time for one more.

[Jared Campbell]

That's been bugging him.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it really has cleared the air.

[Scott Chaplin]

Make that the clip.

[Zach Amico]

Make that a clip and send it to Louis J. And the camera.

[Jared Campbell]

Case solved. All right, one more.

[Zach Amico]

All right, one more. Woman disrobes at California school board meeting in protest of locker room policies. Shannon.

[Unknown Female Speaker]

Hi. Good evening. I'm a parent in the Davis Unified School District, and I'm here today to talk about the policies you have for the locker rooms in the junior high schools. So, Emerson Holmes, Harper Junior High, right now we require our students to undress for PE Class. So I'm just going to give you an idea what that looks like when I undress. So right now, this school district is saying that depending on a child's transgender identity, that they can pick which bathroom they want. So we have Right now, at this school district, we have children self identifying into. Into different bathrooms just based off of.

[Jared Campbell]

[Scott Chaplin]

It does suck that she couldn't even finish the bit. She had this big plan and they were like.

[Jared Campbell]

No, she did. She had tassels over there. She was going, one more.

[Zach Amico]

She had a fake deck.

[Jared Campbell]

Took her all day to fucking figure out how to get it in there and tuck it.

[Zach Amico]

I mean, she makes a point a. That wasn't that bad.

[Jared Campbell]

No, but what was she makes.

[Zach Amico]

I think it was. She was trying to use shock to be like. But I don't.

[Scott Chaplin]

I don't go like, well, it's shocking to these kids. This is what it is.

[Zach Amico]

What she should have said is, look how upset you all are right now. We're doing this to the. She should have got to the point. Yeah, right. She actually had a very powerful opportunity that she got lost in her own. But I. A very Leslie Knope moment where she's like. But I had a whole argument prepared.

[Jared Campbell]

Sure. True, true. Yeah.

[Scott Chaplin]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

[Zach Amico]

Oh, that'll make you transition. The kids got to transition schools. Now.

[Jared Campbell]

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Oh, boy.

[Jared Campbell]

She has to run it back. She should run it back in a.

[Zach Amico]

New county Shun, by the way.

[Shannon (Researcher/Assistant)]

So they. They took a recess for about five minutes. When they came back in, they allowed her to finish her comments and she started to do the whole thing again. So they recessed for 30 minutes and then changed the topic.
