Zach Amico
It's not that I'm a star. It's that I'm not coming back to South Bend soon.
Joe Gorman
It's like, how big is your following in South Bend?
Katie Hannigan
It's a small town. Are you gonna see Mayor Pete? Mayor Pete? He could come to the show.
Zach Amico
I wouldn't be opposed. Maybe he's a crack Amico fan.
Joe Gorman
Hey, open invite.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
You head banging to all of the buckets.
Katie Hannigan
You know, some poppers at least.
Zach Amico
Yeah. There we go. I'm a big fan.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, yeah.
Joe Gorman
Hell yeah.
Zach Amico
Love a little. Love a little. Emil nitrate.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Used to be. Used to be a drug of choice. Yes. When I was a. A gothic in the night, party boy always had. Always had poppers on me.
Katie Hannigan
Nice.
Joe Gorman
Hell yeah.
Zach Amico
Used to go to. Used to go to. It was Stimulate, the Bat Cave. And then right across the street was a place called Pyramid. And those were the spots.
Katie Hannigan
The popper spots.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Yeah. Just go dancing, having a little fun.
Katie Hannigan
Yes.
Zach Amico
Yeah. We also used to do poppers on roller coasters.
Joe Gorman
Whoa. That is a choice.
Zach Amico
That's a great choice.
Katie Hannigan
Did you ever shake your pants?
Zach Amico
Never once.
Joe Gorman
Ooh.
Katie Hannigan
Okay.
Zach Amico
They loosen you up, but not like that.
Katie Hannigan
Okay.
Zach Amico
I would compare it to. It's not all asshole.
Katie Hannigan
Okay? It's just kind of a loosey goosey.
Zach Amico
So what? Poppers are for the show. They're amyl nitrates, not anal. Emyl A m Y L. The same family as nitrous laughing gas.
Katie Hannigan
Okay.
Zach Amico
And so it's a non narcotic high. So it sends. It opens up the capillaries in your veins and sends the extra oxygen to your head.
Katie Hannigan
Wow.
Zach Amico
So that's why you feel silly. And then it acts as a natural muscle relaxant, hence the use in gay sex.
Katie Hannigan
Okay, very nice.
Zach Amico
I think the first comic I heard talk about it was Kinison.
Joe Gorman
Oh, okay.
Katie Hannigan
You did it all.
Zach Amico
You used to keep a bottle by the bed.
Joe Gorman
I put it in my ass.
Zach Amico
No, he would do. He would slow down. He would slow down. He would go. You take a. You take a whiff of the nerve wreeling. Slows down. All right, we got a bunch of fun shit to look at today, but let's start. We have been keeping abreast of Ms. Britney Spears, and we have not. We. Let's start off with this. We've got her sobriety test from when she just got in a bit of trouble.
Joe Gorman
Oh, yeah.
Zach Amico
She doesn't appear well. Uh.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, well, what else is new?
Zach Amico
I'm. I'M going to take a wild statement here. I think that conservatory is. Or conservatorship might have been a good idea.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, we might need to. Yeah, we might need to re. Enslave Britney. We were wrong to that whole free
Katie Hannigan
Britney not be free.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Or at least she shouldn't have access to Tick Tock. Oh no, she should not because those are jarring.
Zach Amico
Yeah. And like, maybe not who had her, but maybe somebody responsible, somebody that cares
Joe Gorman
about her should be in charge.
Katie Hannigan
A different celebrity who's doing a little better.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, like somebody that's already financially secure and doesn't need to leech off her wealth.
Katie Hannigan
Like Demi Moore.
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah, yeah. A matriarch.
Joe Gorman
Christina Aguilera now. Yeah, yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Katy Perry. Have you heard about this?
Joe Gorman
She's married to Justin Trudeau.
Katie Hannigan
True daddy.
Zach Amico
Oh, that would be a good one then. Yeah, that would be a very nice.
Katie Hannigan
Get Brittany up there to space.
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah, perfect. Well, let's. Let's take a look at Britney's sobriety test.
Joe Gorman
Straight A's. Oh, it's like. Oh, shit.
Zach Amico
Do you have Sam?
Joe Gorman
She starts.
Zach Amico
She starts.
Katie Hannigan
I can tell she's fucked up because of the hat. She's wearing a fedora and that's immediate fail.
Joe Gorman
Why was she. It's like, how, how, how do people have all of this money and they just don't get an Uber?
Katie Hannigan
Because driving drunk is fun.
Joe Gorman
I mean.
Zach Amico
Yeah. You feel invincible.
Joe Gorman
I guess so.
Zach Amico
Is there sound on this?
Shannon
I don't. I don't think so.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, I thought that was Britney's voice. I was like, wow.
Shannon
Let me refresh real quick. I don't think there is there.
Zach Amico
No, no. Okay.
Joe Gorman
It's probably like dash cam footage. Yeah.
Zach Amico
She keeps putting her hands on him, which is not a good call. Oh, when the cop shining on you, don't put your hand on him.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
I like her outfit though. She's got a maxi skirt. Aside from the fedora, she's really looking updated, man.
Zach Amico
Yeah, you don't want to go out drunk dressed like Darkwing Duck.
Joe Gorman
No, her and Justin Timberlake, she just get back together because they both love drunk driving.
Zach Amico
They get back together and get a driver.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, they were meant for each other. I mean like Brittany's whole life has been downhill since she kissed Madonna. The kiss of death.
Katie Hannigan
When was that?
Joe Gorman
That was like 1999 or VMAs.
Katie Hannigan
That was her.
Zach Amico
I want to say that's VMAs 2000.
Joe Gorman
Something like that.
Zach Amico
That was.
Katie Hannigan
That was just right after One more time. That was her early days.
Joe Gorman
16 year old Joe Gorman bricked up as seeing that.
Katie Hannigan
I think she. She started going downhill. I mean, the head shaving, that was.
Joe Gorman
She had postpartum everything with Kevin Federline.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. Kevin was not a good influence on her. And it's like, once you have a baby, your hormones, you need professional help.
Joe Gorman
That was her second marriage, too, because, like.
Katie Hannigan
And her second baby.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, because she got married to that one she did, like, a shotgun wedding to. It was Jason Alexander was his name. We were like, oh, the Seinfeld guy was like some other dude. It was like her high school sweetheart.
Katie Hannigan
Wow. That would be actually good for her if she married him. I think that would be romantic.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. But it was beauty and the beast, whirlwind marriage. Yeah. And then she married some other guy. I think they're already divorced again now, I believe.
Zach Amico
Well, she. You knew she was in bad shape when they had the footage of her going into the gas station bathroom barefoot. Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Well, who among us hasn't? You know, you lose a flip flop in the car and you need to take a piss, you need to get some. What are those, cronuts? No, Corn nuts. Corn nuts for your ride.
Zach Amico
I have recently, within the last year, broken down the door of the women's room in a gas station because I had a ghost.
Katie Hannigan
So equal rights. Because you said I should be allowed
Zach Amico
in here because the men's room was blockaded off, and I had been on a tour bus, and it was a do or die situation.
Katie Hannigan
And was there a lady in there?
Zach Amico
I banged and said, please, if there's any ladies in here, I'll stay. I was like. And then I yelled before I put my head in, I went, guy, I really used the bathroom. There was nobody in there.
Katie Hannigan
I approve of that. I approve of that. You got consent?
Zach Amico
Yeah. There was no one in there.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
But then I really did some damage, so I felt bad for the ladies. Answers.
Katie Hannigan
Pee pee or poo poo.
Zach Amico
Oh, a bad poo poo.
Katie Hannigan
Okay. Yeah.
Zach Amico
So the thing about tour bus life. No duties.
Katie Hannigan
You can. You can.
Zach Amico
You can't duty on the bus. You're not allowed to. Especially if it's not your bus. If you are a hanger on opener, as I was. No duties on the bus.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And sometimes you're on the road. I don't know about you guys. When I wake up in the morning is usually my bad one.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, that's good. You're regular.
Joe Gorman
That's important.
Zach Amico
If I get up, that's where I go.
Katie Hannigan
Mm.
Zach Amico
And I was on the bus. I woke up, we were luckily, already parked in a truck stop, but I had to walk all the way around to get to the open gas station. And then it was police taped off.
Joe Gorman
There was a crime in the men's room.
Zach Amico
The men's room.
Katie Hannigan
I maybe crime in the men's room.
Joe Gorman
Another murder.
Katie Hannigan
I mean, at a truck stop.
Zach Amico
Could happen. I have been cruised.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, well, of course. I mean, people think that that's like. I mean, I read all the articles about human trafficking. The truck stops. It's where it's happening.
Zach Amico
I got cruised at a Wawa.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, God, that's so Philly. It's such awesome.
Zach Amico
I was in. I was in the men's room, and it had a large gap at the bottom of the door to the floor. So I would say shin down, you could see.
Katie Hannigan
Wow, that is a healthy gap.
Joe Gorman
That's a lot. Yeah.
Zach Amico
And a gentleman came in while I was mid my business, talking on the phone, loudly, in. I believe it was Arabic or Urdu.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, I thought you were gonna say Delco.
Zach Amico
No, no, very.
Katie Hannigan
See the eagles.
Zach Amico
Very durka, durka, durka.
Joe Gorman
Uh oh.
Zach Amico
And then I heard a very performative and loud oops. And the phone came flying in under the door, camera on.
Katie Hannigan
Wow. For his safety.
Zach Amico
Hit me in the boot. And I went, it's cool, dude. I'll kick it back to you. And as I got that sentence out, he appeared under the partition.
Joe Gorman
Whoa.
Zach Amico
Crawled completely in.
Joe Gorman
Yikes. That's fucking scary.
Zach Amico
To which I panicked.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And started kicking. And I went, take your phone. And I kicked his phone at him. And he went, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And then I wrapped up under duress, walked out, and he was waiting for me.
Katie Hannigan
Wow.
Zach Amico
And he was my friend. I'm very sad. Just, you know, I dropped my phone. I was like, not. And he goes, no, it's not. You know, just everything. Like, I think he's making sure. I was gonna call the cops.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. Or tell. Tell them back in Iran.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
Let him know that they're gonna cut off his lions. That's against.
Katie Hannigan
That's why you go in the women's room now. For your own safety.
Zach Amico
I think it's the move.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. Have you ever been assaulted?
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, one time. And it was like an old gay guy on a. I was on a train.
Katie Hannigan
I was, do look fabulous. You've got lovely hair and you've got a lovely mustache.
Joe Gorman
Thank you so much. I didn't even have the mustache at the time. I was a younger. I was like 23. And this old guy, like, he was just talking to me. He's like, oh, what are you doing on the train? And I'm like, oh, I'm going on a trip with my family. My whole family was there.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, that turns him on.
Joe Gorman
Oh, yeah. And he was like. He was like, oh, cool. You want to. You want to. You want me to suck your dick in the bathroom? And I'm like, what? No. And I was, like, upset. And then my stepdad, like, I told him, and he went up the guy, and he was like, if you ever come near my boy again, I will fuck you up.
Katie Hannigan
Why didn't you say yes?
Joe Gorman
Because I don't want to get. I don't want to have. I don't want to have gay sex. I don't want to go to hell.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, like it.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, dude. God will be upset. Also, it's like, if I. If it also, it wasn't like, a hot dude. It was like this old crusty guy, you know? Never if, like, 1990s Leonardo DiCaprio.
Zach Amico
Oh, my God, the Titanic's going down Now Gilbert Grape. I want Gilbert. I milked it. Something came out. I. I have been groped on the subway. Old Asian businessman.
Joe Gorman
Oh, yeah.
Katie Hannigan
You are pulling a diverse crowd, I must say.
Zach Amico
Big goose. And we're just behind. Grabbed. Yeah, I would say cheek to balls from behind.
Katie Hannigan
He had a hefty grip.
Zach Amico
Got got. I would say got a. Got a. Almost a bowling ball.
Joe Gorman
Oh, damn. Yeah. Like, the two in the pink and
Zach Amico
one in the stage got a real good handful. I turned around, as cliche as it sounds, was in shock. Did not know how to explain.
Katie Hannigan
That's what happens. That's what happens. You go, it's a fight or flight or freeze. It's happened to me. And I went into freeze, actually.
Joe Gorman
It's like you can't process it.
Zach Amico
He just looked at me and he went, whoa. And got off the train.
Katie Hannigan
I had a guy one time, I was coming home late, and it was actually Memorial Day. This was like, three years ago.
Zach Amico
Happy anniversary.
Katie Hannigan
Thank you. Well, I stayed out late because, you know, on, like, the Sunday night, you're like, well, it's still like a Saturday. But then, like, I stupidly was walking home because I love walking. And then you're out and you're like, it's like a Tuesday. That a guy was on a scooter wearing a scream mask, which I know you love, passing me with the scream mask. And then I thought he was gone. And I heard something, like, came up behind me and grabbed my ass with both of his hands. And I froze. Froze. And I turned around, he was hobbling away. I assume because he was hard, it probably did it for him.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
But it was terrifying.
Joe Gorman
Sucks.
Katie Hannigan
I mean, a scream mask.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, that's. That's awful.
Zach Amico
Talk about hiding in plain sight.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. Well, he also had the cloak.
Zach Amico
Oh, no.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, he was a full scream costume and. But, you know, actually pretty smart.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. I mean, if you're going to. Do you wear a Jason masking, like, before you grab their ass or something, watching behind the bushes.
Katie Hannigan
But that's the thing now, though. Like, people will run up on you on the. The E bike and they'll assault you and then just zip up.
Joe Gorman
That's unfortunate. That's really. It's really unfortunate to be a woman.
Katie Hannigan
Your guys's stories were fun, and then mine were, like,
Zach Amico
a hundred percent different. Yes, it is funny that it happened to us because we could punch him in the face.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Or, you know, yelling at it is funny.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
You.
Katie Hannigan
I was in genuine danger.
Zach Amico
There's a power balance that should be recognized there. It's funny when it happens also.
Joe Gorman
Like, there's like, almost like, when a guy assaults another guy. Like, hey, what the fuck? The guy's like, oh, shit. Fucking. Like, kind of like regress. But, like, when a woman is like. The guy's like, whatever. Fucking. I'm a fucking dude.
Zach Amico
Yeah. And also, we weren't damaged emotionally.
Katie Hannigan
I was. I was traumatized from.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, I'm sure.
Zach Amico
Yeah. We weren't afraid to go out.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
It just, like, goes on. It's like, oh, that was, like, a weird thing. But it's probably not going to happen.
Katie Hannigan
I still walk home all the time. I don't know. I just go out in the city late at night. I don't care.
Joe Gorman
Well, you just assume that, you know, people wouldn't do stuff like that.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, but I just love moving my legs around.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. It's like everyone has a right to be able to walk home without.
Katie Hannigan
I love this really turned into a feminist podcast.
Zach Amico
We are surprisingly progressive here.
Katie Hannigan
I believe it. No, I know you guys are.
Joe Gorman
I probably have a trans kid who knows?
Zach Amico
I mean, I was. I wouldn't talk to her.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, it's like, I don't know.
Zach Amico
Probably made one.
Joe Gorman
They're probably running around doing their thing.
Zach Amico
All right, well, second update here on Brittany, apparently.
Shannon
Sorry, Zach, real quick before we get to that one, I just found another dash cam footage that was just released.
Zach Amico
Oh, beautiful.
Shannon
This is before they take her out of the car before the sobriety test. If you want to take a peek at the break. No, there has to be something wrong with the sound.
Zach Amico
So, Shannon, I'm going to just take it. That YouTube, we're having trouble with the getting anything to play sound.
Shannon
Yeah, Jorge is under the desk troubleshooting at this moment. I apologize.
Joe Gorman
That's all good.
Katie Hannigan
Get down there, Jorge.
Joe Gorman
It's more of a visual thing.
Zach Amico

Well, while we're waiting for that, can we do the other what she told the cops?
Shannon
Yeah, like I can tell you because that one also is like an audio clip of her saying it, but I can.
Zach Amico
Oh, then we'll wait. Okay, well, wait. Well, let's move. We'll come back to that. But we can talk about this in the meantime. Something near and dear to my heart. I think it might be time for a certain country to call revolution again. Oh, I think we might need to start cutting some heads off.
Joe Gorman
Oh, yeah.
Zach Amico
France bans zins.
Katie Hannigan
Wow.
Zach Amico
And all other nicotine pouches. With violators facing five years in prison and this shocking find. Shannon, I.
Joe Gorman
You know what? That's cool because, like, I hope France brings back smoking a cigarette on those long filters like Cruella de Vil.
Katie Hannigan
That's why they banned it, because they love cigs.
Zach Amico
That's all I can think of. My first stereotype of Frenchman would be
Katie Hannigan
a mime with a chip smoking habit.
Zach Amico
A stinky mime of smoking.
Joe Gorman
A beret.
Katie Hannigan
A striped shirt, full white face.
Joe Gorman
A long twirly mustache.
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Baguette.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Running from a Nazi.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. Surrender With a white.
Zach Amico
A white flag in one hand and a cigarette in the other. So I would assume that this is a pro smoking thing.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Because it can't be that it's so bad for you that it's worse than smoking.
Katie Hannigan
Right. Are you guys Zen users?
Zach Amico
I got two in right now.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, what flavor?
Zach Amico
They are not zins. They are breakers. So they are mango, and they have a little ball inside that you bite. It's like a flavor pouch.
Katie Hannigan
Wow, they're really getting high tech.
Zach Amico
Yeah, they're pretty goddamn good. It sucks to go to states where you're not allowed to have the flavored ones.
Joe Gorman
Oh.
Zach Amico
Cause then you have to go back to the regular tobacco.
Joe Gorman
You have to raw dog it.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, they banned it? For what? Like, it causes cancer?
Zach Amico
No, that they don't want kids to get the flavors.
Katie Hannigan
Oh. Cause it's like candy.
Zach Amico
I usually go spearmint.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, that's nice.
Zach Amico
I like a minty. Cause then it's like a mint and.
Joe Gorman
But now, like, that's why kids are, like, always, like, vaping and stuff, because it has, like, all the flavors.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
And, like, they don't. They don't understand, like, you should smoke a cigarette and look cool.
Katie Hannigan
Of course. I actually like a vape now. I don't do it regularly, but I used to smoke, like, years ago, you know, just to be cool. But like a vape, I. I'm like, oh, a little strawberry, like, get me on my way. I love it.
Joe Gorman
I vape. I vape weed. But that's just, like, in the house, to have it, you know, not be, like, not to not.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
And like, you also don't want to. Like, the neighbors don't complain.
Katie Hannigan
And inside, it's gross.
Joe Gorman
It's, like, too much. But, like, if I'm out and about. Pack that bowl, baby.
Zach Amico
I was very good about it until other people on my floor were very obviously also smoking. And then I gave up, and now we just. Now we. Sometimes I light incense.
Joe Gorman
That's funny. My landlord just, like, will, like, smoke a cigar out on the porch, and it's like, what am I worried about? You know, like this guy that's like a super.
Katie Hannigan
You live Astoria?
Joe Gorman
No, I live in Williamsburg. Oh, right, right. Please don't show up to my house and kill me.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
Just got to be safe.
Zach Amico
I do. I just smoke bowls in the house at this point.
Katie Hannigan
When I used to smoke weed, I always vaped because it's like, the flavor is better. I felt like the high is better. Like, when you really burn it, like,
Joe Gorman
you're Just, I think, like a vape, you. It's a little. You can control it a little bit more.
Katie Hannigan
Maybe. That's right.
Joe Gorman
Because, like, sometimes, like, if you just take, like, a bowl to the head, you're, like, high, but, like, a vape is like, okay, cool. I can still, like, do a little my job. And.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. And also when you. When you're actually burning the bowl, it's. It's terrible for your throat. And if you talk for your job, like, the best thing, I think, as a vapor, do, like, a bubbler for your voice.
Joe Gorman
A bong filled with ice cubes is a.
Katie Hannigan
Is the medicinal.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, I like that.
Zach Amico
What was our. Shannon, what was the name of our. Was the froze bowl the freeze pipe?
Shannon
I think so.
Zach Amico
So I have. It was a sponsor here. I have one. It's. I believe it's the freeze pipe. You put it in the freezer.
Katie Hannigan
Ah.
Zach Amico
And it's got a coil of a chemical that just. It doesn't completely freeze, but it gets right to, like, 32 degrees.
Katie Hannigan
Yes.
Zach Amico
And when you smoke it, the smoke goes through that coil and comes out ice cold. Whoa.
Joe Gorman
That's awesome.
Katie Hannigan
I did a homemade version of that one time at a comedy club where the. The owner just took everyone in the back and was like, this is his thing. He does, like, he keeps a bong in the freezer. I don't remember what it was. And it was cool.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, I remember.
Zach Amico
Very good. However, you can't keep it in the freezer for more than an hour or two or the glass will crack.
Katie Hannigan
That's what I was thinking.
Zach Amico
Which, as a stoner, is an issue.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Because sometimes you go, I want to smoke this in an hour.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And then you're about your day, and you're like, oh, I've put it in the freezer all day. Yeah. And now I have to hope I did not crack it.
Katie Hannigan
I just smoked glass.
Zach Amico
Yes.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
No, no. It was just the bowl. Would I have had times where I have straight up smoked a bowl? Somebody dropped, and it's jagged on the end that we try to figure out. Yeah. You try to, like, smoke it sideways.
Joe Gorman
Right. That's how, you know.
Katie Hannigan
Well, I saw there was a girl that. She had the glass straw, you know, and she, like, drinking our smoothie. Whatever. She feels something go down. I was like, the straw broke, and she just sucked.
Joe Gorman
Oh, my God. That's like a final destination type death.
Katie Hannigan
And you have to go to the hospital and, like, poop it out supervised. They don't.
Zach Amico
You can't around with that damn poop Supervised pooping. Sounds horrible. I had to get poopervised. Shannon, tell us why France has banned Zins.
Shannon
So it looks like it's primarily for public health reasons. They're concerned about youth, nicotine addiction and the rapid rise in flavored oral nicotine products.
Zach Amico
So, yeah, stay out of my body government.
Joe Gorman
I mean, it's like, yeah, kids are gonna do it if they want to do it, you know?
Zach Amico
But also, like, everyone in Sweden uses the snus. I think it's something like 70% of people use it. And they don't have a high mouth cancer rate.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. Cause they probably don't put any additives in it, I would imagine.
Zach Amico
So I've gotten it sent from Sweden.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
It's pasteurized.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, wow.
Zach Amico
Because over there, it's like an FDA rule that tobacco has to go through pasteurization, and that actually kills a lot of the shit. The fuck? That is bad for you. Really?
Joe Gorman
That's crazy.
Katie Hannigan
It's also just grass. It's just a plain.
Unknown/Producer
It's strong.
Katie Hannigan
Is it? Wow.
Zach Amico
Somebody sent me one. And I'm used to, like. I've been dipping since. On and off since high school because I was on the wrestling team.
Joe Gorman
Oh, yeah. That's. All the wrestlers would dip.
Zach Amico
Well, because we had a spit.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
To make weight.
Katie Hannigan
Right, right.
Joe Gorman
And it would, like. It would like, curb appetite and shit.
Zach Amico
Yeah, exactly.
Joe Gorman
All the fudgeing. All the wrestlers would always have, like, their cups.
Zach Amico
The Gatorade.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
The Gatorade bottle. Yeah.
Joe Gorman
Oh, man, that's.
Zach Amico
And then when I switch something where I didn't have to spit, that was ideal because I never liked the spitting part.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And then somebody sent me Swedish news in the mail, and it was so fucking strong. Wow. It was like the first time you try nicotine as a kid, and it's like, what is it, the sandlot where they help you?
Joe Gorman
Yeah, it's a lot. But, like, you also get like, that, Nick. The first time, like, you. I remember, like, the first time I smoked. Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
It's like, yeah, totally.
Joe Gorman
I've never felt, like, a euphoria like this. Like, I feel like the right strong you. You chase that perpetual. And eventually just. Just like, what am I doing? Like, you don't feel the buzz and you're coughing and it's like. But still, it's that if I. If every time I smoked a cigarette, I would get, like, that nicotine high buzz.
Katie Hannigan
I get that now, if I ever smoke. But then it's like, I immediately, like, two puffs later, I'm sick.
Joe Gorman
I'M like, oh, great, I got cancer. I always think I'm going to.
Katie Hannigan
I get a horrible stomach cramp and then I have to shit immediately.
Zach Amico
Or the next morning if you're had a few beverages. Yeah, yeah, I can handle two cigarettes. I'm an adult. And the next day you wake up, hangover.
Katie Hannigan
So worse. So worse.
Zach Amico
Feeling like dick. All right, well, you know what, France, I say get out of my body.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
I say put it. Put some nicotine in a baguette. Okay.
Zach Amico
Let's make it more acting like a bunch of baguettes.
Katie Hannigan
If you.
Zach Amico
I get it. I guess if kids.
Joe Gorman
But like, everyone. It's like everyone uses, like, children to justify any kind of regulation. Like, oh, we can't have like, titties on late night cable because what if children see it? Or, you know, vulgarity.
Zach Amico
That's the opposite in Europe, though.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. And then like. And so. But. And it's funny because, like, we don't have as much regulation on tobacco products here.
Zach Amico
But they also. Aren't they drinking at 12?
Joe Gorman
I think it's like, they.
Unknown/Producer
Do.
Katie Hannigan
They have wine. I think it's like, as long as it tastes bad, they're fine with it. Yeah. I don't.
Joe Gorman
I don't think there's like an age. But it's sort of just like an understanding of like. Yeah, you can give them like a glass of wine here and there and.
Katie Hannigan
Totally. No, no. And. But also they banned all of that. Like, they can't have like the red four, all that stuff that's delicious. That we like. They banned all of that. So it makes sense.
Joe Gorman
Like, European candies just taste so much different because they don't have as many artificial.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Like, they don't have that, like, nasty stuff with the chocolate. But, like, they're fine with you smoking. You just have to smoke a cigarette at 12.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. Which is honestly what you should be doing anyway, because then. Yeah, it's also easier for your parents. But hey, you smell like a cigarette, you know, like, oh, did you have like a mango smoothie?
Katie Hannigan
I know. Well, it's easy to be like, you smell like cotton candy.
Zach Amico
What the.
Joe Gorman
My son's cool.
Katie Hannigan
Great.
Joe Gorman
Now I gotta deal with a cool kid.
Katie Hannigan
My son has a cotton candy problem.
Zach Amico
I got accused of smoking throughout high school by both my parents, and I never smoked.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Wow.
Zach Amico
But I hung out with people you hung out with.
Joe Gorman
Like, all the.
Katie Hannigan
Smell it.
Zach Amico
And I would always get. Always get accused of smoking.
Katie Hannigan
My parents smoked. I would sneak a little cigarette from my mom. Yeah.
Zach Amico
My little. My wife's Sister, her mom used to spot. Buy her cigarettes at 13.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, wow.
Zach Amico
And I can't imagine I. So I. I got into incense lately and I specifically buy the black lady ones. They're literally called black pussy.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, yeah.
Zach Amico
Okay. And they're like black lady. And I think they all smell really good. And if we're gonna smoke in the house, I light one. And I got that from my sister in law who's like, well, I used to smoke in my room and I would light incense. And I was trying to think I would be in so much trouble for lighting incense in my room. If I had been 13, 14, that would have been an investigate. That would have been.
Katie Hannigan
Wow, your parents are strict. I throw cigarettes in my room. I just cracked the window. Just blow it right out.
Zach Amico
I lived in an apartment.
Katie Hannigan
Okay. A little easier.
Zach Amico
Yeah, I would have been. It would. I have to preface this. The way my mom and my aunt claim. What my mom and ain't claim is that they're very sensitive to smells.
Katie Hannigan
Okay. Okay.
Zach Amico
So like, if I wore AX in the morning, my mom would hang her head out the car window, gagging. Wow.
Katie Hannigan
It is. Well, AX is strong. My husband.
Joe Gorman
I mean, anything but, like, moms are also any cologne.
Katie Hannigan
Moms are bitches.
Joe Gorman
Moms are the most dramatic human beings on the face.
Zach Amico
Any cologne. My mom will go, what, Zachary? Your perfume.
Katie Hannigan
I can't wait to have kids. I'm gonna be just like that, calling your son's cologne.
Zach Amico
And I go, mom, it's not perfume. I'm a boy. She goes, ya ass to shave.
Joe Gorman
That's such a. That is such a.
Zach Amico
She could never get the word. The word cologne just didn't exist in her head.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, my first boyfriend wore like heavy Armani. And when I. Every now and then I catch a whiff of it going down and I'm like, oh, Andrew. Like, it's crazy. Brings it back.
Joe Gorman
I'm an old Spice guy from puberty to grave, baby.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, okay.
Zach Amico
I like that. I like consistency.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, that's the way to go.
Katie Hannigan
Spice is the working man's.
Joe Gorman
That is. You know what? It. It does have a very like. Oh, this is like a grandpa smell.
Shannon
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
Like, I'm okay with that. You.
Zach Amico
I try. Lately, I've been doing anything that's sandalwood and bourbon.
Katie Hannigan
Okay.
Zach Amico
You like a forest? If I have money. Sauvage.
Katie Hannigan
Whoa. Johnny Depp.
Zach Amico
Sauvage is a very nice. But to give you an idea of how sensitive my family is to smells, for Christmas this year, I get my uncle the same thing for Christmas every year.
Katie Hannigan
Okay.
Zach Amico
Which is a multi pack of Dr. Squash soap.
Katie Hannigan
Okay.
Joe Gorman
You know what? That's a really nice gift. He loves.
Katie Hannigan
That's a really nice gift.
Zach Amico
I had a talk with him a couple years ago about it. He's like, that's great. And he said, if you want to get me that every year, because I get him enough for the year and he's just about out next Christmas.
Katie Hannigan
That's great.
Zach Amico
And that's our deal. And he goes, they're great. So I got him that and a bourbon body wash. It was in a box. When my mom brought it out for Christmas, it was in a garbage bag. Oh, wow. And I went, why? She was Zachary. Something broke in there. It fucking stinks. And I went, are you sure? Exactly. I could smell it from across the fucking room. And my uncle opened it and it was just a regular pack of soap.
Joe Gorman
Yes.
Katie Hannigan
You know what I gotta tell you, though. Cause this could be a female thing. Cause I did the don't tell when the Dr. Squanch sponsored it and they gave us I love anything free. I'm like, give it to me. I took all the soap. It was so strong. I had to put it in a Ziploc bag. I don't even know what I was thinking. I can't use it. It's like a very man smell. It was so strong. I put it in a Ziploc bag, put it in a drawer, and it was like stinking up the little cupboard I had it in.
Zach Amico
Maybe it's a female thing, I think.
Katie Hannigan
Because I think I know I have a stronger sense of smell than Mike.
Zach Amico
I would definitely say so.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. Because I'll be like, oh, my God, I smell something weird. I'm like going around and he just has no idea. You know?
Zach Amico
I'm a big fan of the pine tar. Dr. Squatch.
Joe Gorman
Oh, yeah.
Katie Hannigan
They have great sense for dudes. I really. I do like them.
Zach Amico
I. Everything has been very smell oriented.
Joe Gorman
That's good. I use more, but I use tea tree soap.
Katie Hannigan
Okay.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. Then I have like a little off camera.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
I have one of those, like, little loofahs. So I just put it on the loofah and I just scrub my ass down. And then I have a nice facial cleanser and a toner afterwards. Kelly's got me, like, minding my penis.
Katie Hannigan
Your skin looks great.
Joe Gorman
Thank you. Thank you very much. Not bad for 42, huh?
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, you look good.
Joe Gorman
Thank you.
Zach Amico
I always forget you're 42.
Joe Gorman
I'm an old ass man.
Zach Amico
You are a young man at heart.
Joe Gorman
I have. I have a youthful je ne sais quoi. I'm a gray. No gray yet.
Zach Amico
I'm a washcloth guy Recently.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, yeah, you gotta do a washcloth.
Zach Amico
Very. It feels. Feels a little black.
Katie Hannigan
I. You know, I didn't know this until recently, but it is a stereotype that white people only use the bar.
Joe Gorman
The bar.
Zach Amico
And that's because be washing with the same bar, somebody else's pubic hair on it.
Katie Hannigan
Putting the bar to their own.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
And that's not clean.
Zach Amico
No. Well, I always lathered up with the bar and then use my hand. I don't rub the bar. I rub the bar on, like, my chest.
Katie Hannigan
I've been a washcloth person for my life.
Joe Gorman
We've always been a washcloth person at my house. My sister had her own washcloth. I had my own washcloth. You know, it was just how it was.
Zach Amico
I've watched clothes.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Slides is the other new thing that makes me feel black.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, I love a slide that makes me feel. I found it, like, Asian because I got them from the TikTok.
Joe Gorman
Oh, that's a good. Yeah, that's a good one. It helps. Yeah.
Zach Amico
That was. Last year's gift for every woman in my family was the cloud slides.
Katie Hannigan
Yes. We both have them. We love those.
Zach Amico
So that's what I do for every holiday is I every. So I've got my wife, her sister, her mom, my mom, my aunt, my grandma, and my stepmom. I do a base gift for all of them.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, wow, that's smart, Zach. That's so smart.
Zach Amico
So that there's no competition. And then wife gets her own gifts, Grandma gets her own gift and depend, and mom gets her own special thing.
Katie Hannigan
That's nice.
Zach Amico
But everybody else gets base gifts. So last year was slides. This year was at. Shannon got one too. The Shannon. How does. It's not a slanket.
Shannon
I think it's.
Zach Amico
I think it's a blanket hoodie.
Joe Gorman
Oh, so it's kind of like a Snuggie sort of.
Zach Amico
No, but it's a hoodie. Oh, it's a hoodie that goes.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, a hoodie blanket. Yep. I've seen them.
Joe Gorman
So it's almost like a Jedi robe type thing.
Zach Amico
No, it's like a hoodie. It goes over. It's a pullover. Oh, and Shannon, your review.
Shannon
In this, like, nightmare winter that we had, every single day, I would go home, change my clothes, put that on over my clothes, and I just lived in it.
Katie Hannigan
I love it. I love it.
Zach Amico
So Shannon's part Of my squad, of course.
Katie Hannigan
You seem like you would be a really good gift giver. That's a great strategy.
Zach Amico
It's. No one gets mad, like there's no competition over it.
Katie Hannigan
Everybody gets a whole one thing.
Zach Amico
Yeah. And usually it's one high quality. Like, I go like a nice one thing.
Joe Gorman
Nice.
Zach Amico
And I like to take care of my ladies.
Joe Gorman

All right.
Zach Amico
All right, let's. Let's watch this first. Police. Excuse me? The. The body. The thing we were gonna watch.
Shannon
Yes. This is the DY dash cam we have.
Zach Amico
You get out of the car, we'll
Unknown/Producer
put you in one of our cars, and we'll drive around the corner so we're somewhere that there. There isn't a bunch of people driving by. I don't want to give him your car, sir. You can come to my house. I'll make you food and lasagna or whatever you want. I have a pool.
Joe Gorman
You get to win my pool. I'll make you lasagna. I'll suck your dick.
Unknown/Producer
How so? I told you that. Okay, well, the reason I pulled you over like I found you is because you were driving in the middle of two lanes. Okay? I want to make sure that you're okay to drive. I understand that. But like I said, that's why I pulled you over. And now I'm talking to you. I smell alcohol. Okay? So that's why I want to do our investigation. Okay, I'm going to ask you again. Step out of the car. Okay, okay, okay, Okay. I need you to step out of your car. Okay.
Joe Gorman
This is like white privilege, too.
Unknown/Producer
Sorry.
Katie Hannigan
Really kind about it.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. Because like, it's like they went in. I, I, you know, maybe this is like my like copaganda sense going off, but I don't think they would be that patient if it were a man or a minority behind.
Katie Hannigan
Well, they know they're going to release the tape. They're like, we're going to sell this for five.
Joe Gorman
Look how fucking look at. See how these police officers aren't kneeling on her neck for eight and a half minutes.
Zach Amico
I don't think there's anything to do with that. I think it's. They go, oh, this is Britney Spears.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
TMZ coming out. Yeah, I need to mind my fucking peas and Q.
Shannon
They also gave her the option, though, because they're noticing that she's like a high profile figure. They said, we can go around the block if you want. So no one sees this. I feel like they're being very accommodating.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, no, they're being extremely accommodating. She offered to make a lasagna.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
I'd be like, okay, let's go, let's go.
Joe Gorman
Let's swimming in the pool, eating some lasagna.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, yeah. I mean, it sounded like she didn't just pull that out of her ass. She has a recipe.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
Or she has lasagna in the house currently that she's drunk and thinking about.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, I make a great lasagna. Can I say that?
Zach Amico
I believe it?
Katie Hannigan
Yep.
Zach Amico
And I bet because there are times going home drunk going, oh, I got half a tray in the fridge.
Joe Gorman
Is there nothing better than real life
Zach Amico
bad boy open cold.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, yeah. You gotta soak up the alcohol.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
Like, oh, my God. I have that at home.
Zach Amico
I don't know how you. I love cold leftovers.
Katie Hannigan
Cold pasta's good.
Zach Amico
Yeah. And then, of course, everyone knows lasagnas. Anything like that.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Better the next day.
Joe Gorman
Oh.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, yeah.
Joe Gorman
100.
Katie Hannigan
I make it with a bechamel and that stuff it soaks into the pasta. So good.
Joe Gorman
Nice.
Zach Amico
All right. So was that pretty much the end of that, Shannon?
Shannon
Yeah, I think so. We can go on to the other one.
Zach Amico
So she apparently told the Cop something. And this is. I would say, if not. If this is not a blatant lie, this would be a big reveal in the Britney Spears backstory that we have yet to uncover.
Shannon
I'm gonna a spoiler alert. This is true.
Zach Amico
Ooh. Oh, good.
Shannon
Yes, I checked.
Unknown/Producer
I'm gonna read you a couple things. Okay, so this is what's called Watson advisement. Okay. Okay. So you are hereby advised that being under the influence of alcohol or drugs or both, impairs your ability to safely operate a motor. I take lentil and Proac every morning. Okay. I'm like a Stepford line. Baseline is proac. Every 60% of women take proac. Therefore, she's rightly dangerous to human life. To drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Or if you continue to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs or as a result of that driving, someone or something killed you could be charged with murder. Do you understand that? Sure. I know. My mom accidentally killed the man on a bike. Whoa. I never did that before. Okay. He was a biker. Yes. Okay, I'm just going to read you another thing. What's called implied consent. Okay. And nothing happened to her. Why did I kill her? Why didn't they arrest her? How come my mom got away with everything? Okay, so because you. My mom tried to kill me. Because you have been arrested for dui. I'm not arrested, Sir. Are required by state law to submit to a chemical test to determine the alcohol and or drug content of your blood. You have a choice of taking a breath or blood test. If you refuse to submit to or fail to complete a chemical test, your driving privilege will be suspended for one year or revoked for two or three years. You do not have the right to talk to an attorney or have an attorney present before stating whether you. I know my right, sir. I know my right. Before deciding which test to take which or during the test, if you cannot complete the test you choose, you must submit to and complete a remaining test. Do you understand what I have explained to you?
Zach Amico
Pause.
Joe Gorman
Damn. That's crazy.
Zach Amico
Damn.
Joe Gorman
Britney has.
Zach Amico
Before we even open up the. My mom killed somebody.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, she has a point. Yeah, she should be let go.
Joe Gorman
She has some demons.
Zach Amico
Before we open that can of worms isn't part of you like, don't do the breathalyzer. Britney.
Katie Hannigan
Right?
Joe Gorman
She's just.
Katie Hannigan
She's gonna lose her life.
Zach Amico
You're gonna lose it either way. You're gonna lose it either way. You're drunk. Wait till the blood test and see if it clears out of you. Yeah. Yeah, get a lawyer. Get something. Cause wait, you're fucked either way, right?
Katie Hannigan
Yes.
Zach Amico
Part of me is like, ah, come on, Brittany. Make the right call. Do the blood test so that they have to take you in. That way you get an attorney to argue.
Katie Hannigan
Drink some water. Get a Gatorade.
Zach Amico
Get some. Yeah, clear it out a little. Baby. Don't do the breath.
Joe Gorman
That's really something.
Zach Amico
Like if you know you're drunk, don't do the breathalyzer.
Katie Hannigan
What did she blow? Should I say who?
Zach Amico
Probably a lot of scary old men when she was young. And that's part of this.
Joe Gorman
A lot of producers.
Zach Amico
Shannon, keep it going.
Unknown/Producer
Do you understand the other side of the half of the defense of a revelation of a woman who has the hands of a right hand and then understands her rights as a woman and that knows that she's. If she's the victim. Lead has this morning at 1:00'. Clock.
Zach Amico
God, I love the story of a girl named Unlucky.
Katie Hannigan
She's so lucky.
Joe Gorman
Damn. That's crazy.
Katie Hannigan
She knows her rights.
Zach Amico
Did her accent change?
Katie Hannigan
It kind of went from like. It kind of went more Valley girl. I think it was like she's trying to fall a little bit like Southern. Yeah, it was like, I know my rights and as a woman. That's a woman. I am on Prozac and I have the rights of a woman.
Zach Amico
It's very performative. But hey, she's drunk. She's trying to get out of something.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Shannon, do you have the info on what her mom did and has this come out before?
Shannon
So the mother actually wrote about it in her own memoir. Of course she has admitted to it. And the quote unquote, man that she hit was a 12 year old old boy.
Katie Hannigan
Whoa.
Joe Gorman
That's even what. That's so up because like a man makes it seem like, okay, maybe he was like riding his bike too close like the highway.
Katie Hannigan
Maybe it was like a motorcycle. Motorcycle accidents happen all the time, but like that safe.
Joe Gorman
A 12 year old. It sounds like she was like drunk driving in the suburbs or something.
Zach Amico
What's the story here, Shan?
Shannon
So it says in 1975, she was driving in heavy rain. She was trying to bring her injured brother to the hospital and who she
Zach Amico
hit with her car.
Shannon
And this kid was on a bicycle, 12 year old Anthony Winters. And he just I guess kind of like came out of nowhere. And so she was not criminally charged
Katie Hannigan
for it, but that was 75. I mean like they were losing kids left and right. They were probably like, yeah, he decided
Joe Gorman
to run away from Home. We'll make another one. It doesn't matter.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, they just didn't care.
Joe Gorman
It was different. They drink out of the garden hose back then. They're not soft.
Zach Amico
I feel like in 75 they would have been like, that's his fault.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, totally.
Joe Gorman
Oh, what were you doing? You should have paid attention to. Pay attention to these vehicles.
Katie Hannigan
I know. What was the race of the kid? Just wondering. This was the.
Zach Amico
Yeah. It would explain why she didn't see him at night.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. Should have been smiling.
Zach Amico
Shannon, keep. Let's finish this one out.
Unknown/Producer
What time is it? I have. There's so many hours that have gone by that I have worked my ass off and did my hair. Three of my hairdressers that have done and sparret. Do you understand what is happening? Do you understand you have to do a breath or blood test. You understand? I know, but I, I, I do not agree with saying that I'm a rich. Listen. Okay, fine. You don't have to agree. You have to choose a test. Let him finish. Answer his question. No, but I don't agree with what he said. I don't. I say you have to agree. He said, he said, he said you, you understand. I don't understand when you say that I, I, I don't have. I'm being a risk or you are. I don't. Okay, that's fine.
Joe Gorman
Oh, Brittany.
Zach Amico
Man, they're trying.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
I hope she goes back out on tour.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. I think I finally got a chance with her now.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, I'll see her, I'll see her in Vegas.
Zach Amico
You know, there's always a day, Joe, on your. There's a chance in the great scheme of things that no matter how beautiful a woman is, that you on your best day meet her on her lowest. And those Venn diagrams meet just for, they just touch for a second.
Katie Hannigan
Sometimes you just need to feel safe.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Joe Gorman
That's what's up, by the way.
Shannon
She did blow.
Zach Amico
Oh, no.
Shannon
And because, you know, they do two separate tests and one was 0.05, one was 0.06. So it might be in her, in her favor.
Joe Gorman
Okay, that's technically.
Katie Hannigan
So she was just on pills.
Joe Gorman
She was just a bad driver.
Unknown/Producer
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Yeah, well, she was on. Yeah, she was probably.
Katie Hannigan
That's what she said. She said, look, I'm up on pills. Yeah, I mean, Prozac doesn't, it doesn't like make you have a hard time driving.
Joe Gorman
It shouldn't.
Zach Amico
Chad, what did I blow again? The power hour.
Shannon
It was like 0.02 or something. Negligible.
Zach Amico
We did a power hour, and we're doing shots of liquor.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, you blew 0.02 taking shots, Shannon?
Shannon
Yeah, it was like. Mine was like a 0.23 or something.
Zach Amico
Whoa. Oh, my God.
Joe Gorman
Shannon is an animal. God damn.
Shannon
And I wasn't taking the shots with them. The guys were doing the shots. I was just doing one shot of white claw every minute for an hour.
Zach Amico
We did one shot of white claw every minute for an hour. And then I. What were we doing? Tequila.
Shannon
Tequila.
Joe Gorman
Oh, my God.
Katie Hannigan
Zach. I'm gonna call you next time. I'm hammered, dude.
Zach Amico
I somehow got more sober in the power. I, I. I had blown higher, continued to drink, and blew lower.
Joe Gorman
Wow.
Shannon
Got to your baseline.
Zach Amico
Yeah, I hit my. I hit my. I hit my wall, and I just stayed there. So I am the person that I. Other than a few occasions in the last couple years where I've mixed the wrong things, I have been the get people in cabs, make sure everybody's home safe kind of guy.
Katie Hannigan
That's good.
Zach Amico
That was not the case. I used to be, like, a blackout drunk.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. Yeah.
Zach Amico
More I cut myself. I've become the switch to water guy and, like, get people in cabs.
Joe Gorman
Good for you.
Katie Hannigan
I'm the same way, where it's like, you just can't let it. I just black out so easily that I'm like.
Zach Amico
Well, they say the more you black out, the more.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Typically you will. Like, now your body shuts off quicker.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. That's like, it. It goes into that area.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. So I was like. I just. I'm just careful now because it's scary. It's scary as a lady, because you're like, did I blow someone? What happened? Did I blow a hobo?
Zach Amico
By the way, that's not just the ladies here. Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
I'll tell you, things have happened. I've gotten photos.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, boy.
Zach Amico
I also. And I had this conversation this week. I don't know if it's responsible or just. I know me at this point, when I go buy liquor, I buy Pedialyte, too.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Zach Amico
And I make myself drink the Pedial. I usually drink.
Katie Hannigan
You drink it first?
Zach Amico
No, I drink it at the end of the day. I try to do at least a liter or two of water, and I'll do ice cold Pedialyte. Or I'll put the Pedialyte. I'll put the. Excuse me, the water in the freezer. Take a completely frozen bottle of water to bed with me, a cold Pedialyte, and Then as the water melts, drink that through the night.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, that's what I mean. That's what you're supposed to do. Anyway. It really makes the hangover better. I'm a big. I drink coconut water like every day. Otherwise I'll just feel hungover. And I'm just dehydrated and 40, so
Zach Amico
I'm a big fan of the liquid electrolyte. The water boys, my favorite.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, I like the lmt.
Unknown/Producer
Okay.
Katie Hannigan
I like those ones.
Zach Amico
And I've also been doing emergency elements.
Joe Gorman
Emergency is good every.
Zach Amico
On the road because I get sick every time I fly.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, my God. Oh, I love supplements.
Zach Amico
I feel like it's. I don't know if it's the recycled air.
Katie Hannigan
It is.
Zach Amico
It's being around a million people, it's everything touching a billion.
Joe Gorman
You're just in, like, this giant tube that's like a germ.
Zach Amico
And then you're on the road and, you know, you shake hands with gazillion fans.
Joe Gorman
You're in a new environment, too.
Zach Amico
And so I do an emergency water bottle with an emergency to start every morning now. And it's really cut how much I get sick on the road.
Joe Gorman
Good.
Katie Hannigan
And when you get old and you start taking care of yourself, you're like, damn, I should have done this at 30. Like, I realized, so good.
Joe Gorman
Now it's like, oh, this is how I feel like when I just, like, move my body.
Katie Hannigan
Right. Right.
Joe Gorman
Accurate amount and have enough water and get eight hours of sleep.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. I just started taking iron supplements.
Zach Amico
How's that going?
Katie Hannigan
Haven't shit. Haven't shit. But, you know, we'll see how it goes. Changing my life.
Zach Amico
May I recommend nicotine pouches?
Katie Hannigan
Thank you.
Zach Amico
They make Alps. The one that Tucker Carlson does. Shout out. Tucker. They are. He does 12 milligram ones.
Katie Hannigan
Whoa.
Zach Amico
If you need to shit, I would say an iced coffee and one of those.
Katie Hannigan
Damn.
Zach Amico
And you are. I mean, I dare you not to. I mean, that's. That would be a great radio contest. Like keeping your hand on a car.
Katie Hannigan
Like, you just can't shit.
Zach Amico
You just kill people immediately. That would murder. Because didn't the one lady die from hold your wee for a week?
Katie Hannigan
Yes, she did.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, she did.
Katie Hannigan
Hydro toxic.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. She drank so much water and it ended up, like, diluting her. Like, all, like, the sodium in her body.
Katie Hannigan
It can happen. Yeah, it can happen.
Joe Gorman
Like she, like, drowned from within. Yes, from that.
Katie Hannigan
It's crazy.
Zach Amico
I have to be very careful about how I tell a story. I was on a project with someone who was in A costume that was very. Not breathable. And he was very stupid and did not tell us that he had a history of hydration issues.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, God.
Zach Amico
And when he got out of the costume, instead of drinking the water that was provided, he went to Crafty and drank seven sodas back to back. Wow.
Katie Hannigan
Was it a caffeinated soda? It's like a Sprite or like Diet Coke?
Zach Amico
It was a very sugary soda.
Joe Gorman
Oh, that's gonna just dehydrate you even more.
Zach Amico
And it was very bad.
Katie Hannigan
Wow.
Zach Amico
And we found out that we thought it was one thing and it turned out it was the chugging seven sodas when that dehydrated.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. That's gross.
Zach Amico
And then his mother had to fly where we were because he was not well.
Joe Gorman
Oh, no.
Katie Hannigan
Wow.
Zach Amico
And she said, oh, this is like the third or fourth time he's done this. No. And we're like. Because we made him like science, like water dude. He also signed stuff that was like, I know what I'm doing. Like, I'm of good health and stuff.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
But that was a very skit. We all thought we were going home and we all thought we were maybe getting charged with at one point. We thought. We thought a. Our thing we were working on was done and that some of us may be going to trial.
Joe Gorman
Oh, yes. That's scary.
Katie Hannigan
But, you know, it's hard. It's hard when you don't like water. Some people don't like the taste of the water.
Joe Gorman
It's like, it's like a non taste, but it's also like your body is like 80% water.
Katie Hannigan
I drink it with a straw that I just guzzle it down.
Joe Gorman
I just don't think about it.
Zach Amico
And like, I think ice water is so eat. Like.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And I know not everybody likes cold stuff.
Katie Hannigan
I like the room temp, but I gotta put like a lemon or something in there because the New York City water, there's no electrolytes in this water here. They. They filter it out.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Just fluoride.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. Yeah. Goes right to your brain.
Joe Gorman
I use the Brita. I just. And I rock that. I keep it in the fridge. I start my morning off with a glass. I just try to drink more water throughout the day.
Zach Amico
I do this. I do the big. I have something like a Stanley, but it's bigger.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
I do fill it with ice to the top and I gotta finish it by the end of the day.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, I love my Stanley. I love my Stanley.
Zach Amico
That was this year's Mother's Day gift for everybody.
Katie Hannigan
Yes.
Zach Amico
Not One woman in my family, not one woman in my family had a Stanley. Isn't that crazy?
Katie Hannigan
That is crazy. It's a life. It's a lifestyle.
Zach Amico
They were like, these are great. Where do you get these?
Unknown/Producer
Wow.
Joe Gorman
Everywhere.
Katie Hannigan
Everyone has, I love a Stanley.
Joe Gorman
Maybe it's just like that New York mentality we have because everyone has a Stanley out here.
Katie Hannigan
Well, they're 30 bucks, so it's like, it's a lot. But then if you realize, like, like, it is so worth it.
Joe Gorman
It's like the only one. You need one. It's like good for a lifetime.
Shannon
Yeah.
Zach Amico
You know, unless you maybe forget it for a while.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And maybe had coffee in it. And then you open it up and there's an ecosystem inside.
Katie Hannigan
Well, that's the thing. It's like, they're supposed to be eco friendly, but then if you lose it, it's like, well, that's plastic. Would actually degrade a lot quicker than this metal hunk. I I Now that's in the sea.
Zach Amico
That will be a thing archaeologists find one day from our generation.

Yeah.

Zach Amico
all right, well, we do have, and this is very upset, two different men among men gotten altercations this week. One, a wrestler who I admire greatly. One, I would say the greatest American athlete.
Joe Gorman
Interesting.
Katie Hannigan
Michael Phelps.
Joe Gorman
I was gonna say Michael Phelps. That's crazy.
Zach Amico
More American.
Katie Hannigan
Okay, okay.
Zach Amico
Joey Chestnut.
Joe Gorman
Oh, my that is the most American with Joey.
Zach Amico
Joey Chestnut pleads guilty to hitting man at bar Shannon.
Joe Gorman
Police say was to defend America.
Katie Hannigan
The honor of blasted his Chestnut.
Shannon
So he says he kind of doesn't even remember what happened.
Zach Amico
He was having a few.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Shannon
He was very drunk and he feels like he was probably playing around and like slapped this guy. But I guess he slapped him extra hard.
Joe Gorman
That does kind of happen with the guys when you're just palling around. Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Smacking your friends.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. You just don't realize how incredibly strong and athletic.
Zach Amico
I don't think it would a friend.
Shannon
No. So he was sentenced to 180 days of probation. They are allowing him to travel to New York for the hot dog eating contest.
Katie Hannigan
Wow. Treatment.
Joe Gorman
That's going to have an ankle monitor on at the.
Zach Amico
So we're doing okay.
Katie Hannigan
If Joey Chestnut slapped me though, I would be like, okay, you get one.
Zach Amico
Listen, what do you want Kobayashi to come back and beat us? We got to protect America.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
You want to go slapped you with a hot dog.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
I would bet he has big. Ha. I feel like he would be one of those dudes that's surprisingly robust and he's got big man hands.
Katie Hannigan
I love that word, robust.
Zach Amico
The other. I know you guys aren't wrestling people, but I watched the transformation of a guy. There was a guy from Europe named Ludwig Kaiser and they did a thing in wrestling where they had a fake Mexican wrestler named El Grande Americano, which already is very funny.
Katie Hannigan
Yes. Love that.
Zach Amico
And they had him come out and say he was from the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of America. Then that guy got injured and they replaced him with a guy, Ludwig Kaiser, who's like a foot taller than him as a joke. And this guy spoke, I believe German and something else. This guy decides, I'm a fucking Mexican now. Learns full Spanish.
Katie Hannigan
Wow.
Zach Amico
And fluent. Immediately starts cutting fluent Spanish promos. Gets involved, starts dating a Mexican chick.
Katie Hannigan
Wow.
Zach Amico
And has, despite being a bad guy, become a Mexican hero.
Joe Gorman
That's so funny.
Zach Amico
People love this motherfucker.
Joe Gorman
He fully commits and has like a dead family member tattooed on his chest.
Zach Amico
Yeah. This guy is kissing. This guy's kissing babies in Mexico masterclass. So he had to turn himself in for battery this week.
Katie Hannigan
Wow. He really committed.
Zach Amico
We're nervous.
Katie Hannigan
Just kidding.
Zach Amico
Well, no reported people were nervous that because he. He's about to have. He's gonna face the original El Grande Americano in Mexico.
Joe Gorman
Whoa.
Zach Amico
Mask versus mask. Which is a very big deal there. Wow. And people are nervous when they heard battery and they hear wrestler. That it might have been a lady. Then you find out it was a dude, and you're like, okay, maybe it was an altercation. Whatever. Now the story has come out, and I think he's even cooler. He was kissing his girlfriend on an elevator. And a guy who's a Mexican woman, and they say a guy told him, hey, you two knock it off or I'm gonna call ice.
Joe Gorman
Oh, wow.
Zach Amico
And he knocked the guy's dick in
Katie Hannigan
the dirt in the elevator.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
That's great.
Zach Amico
Just fucking cracked up in an elevator. Cracked one in the elevator. And when I say, you know what? Sometimes let men be men.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
You popped off in front of the guy's chick. You were racist.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And you got a shot in the fucking nose. I say give it a walk. In fact, you should be embarrassed. You charged him.
Katie Hannigan
This guy is a hero.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, I mean, that's like something like.
Zach Amico
Shannon, you want to bring it up?
Katie Hannigan
Bring him up.
Zach Amico
Yeah, he might. He might be your speed.
Joe Gorman
Oh, wow.
Katie Hannigan
He looks. He's very Eastern European.
Unknown/Producer
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Let's show give a full body.
Katie Hannigan
He's got like a Hitler.
Zach Amico
You think a little full body.
Katie Hannigan
It's not my type.
Zach Amico
Well, wait, he's. He's got the. He's got the physique.
Joe Gorman
That's wild. I'm gonna call ice on you.
Katie Hannigan
That's a crazy thing to say.
Joe Gorman
That's very. Oh, wow. Yeah, he looks like a superhero with those.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, I love it. He is cute.
Shannon
Okay.
Katie Hannigan
I like him.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
The mask stays on.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. You weirdo.
Joe Gorman
That's wild.
Katie Hannigan
Fabulous.
Zach Amico
So shout out. Shout out grande Americano.
Joe Gorman
Shout out to any man who defends his right to mack on a woman in an elevator.
Katie Hannigan
Yes. That's a place for intimacy, honestly.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, kind of.
Zach Amico
It's like, oh, that's the fun, dude. When you're on an elevator with your significant other and it closed and you're alone to have that pawing in each other make out session before the door's open, especially.
Joe Gorman
And especially, like, when, you know, like, you're about to go back and. Or something.
Katie Hannigan
Especially when there's one other guy in there.
Joe Gorman
Oh, especially.
Unknown/Producer
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
It's like, get a load of this home.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, like a weird cowboy hat. You're like.
Joe Gorman
You're the elevators with, like, the mirror. So you can also, like, look at yourself doing it and then stare at the guy staring at you.
Katie Hannigan
Still got it.
Zach Amico
Yeah, still got it, baby. And we will end today's show on one of our favorite things.
Joe Gorman
All right.
Zach Amico
Which is animal striking back. This isn't going to Do.
Joe Gorman
All right.
Zach Amico
One of my favorite things in the world is when an animal that I believe has probably been abused or treated poorly decides it's had enough.
Joe Gorman
Nice.
Zach Amico
And, Shannon, this is. And it also goes in our continuing segment, which started as Indians versus trains.
Joe Gorman
I loved that.
Zach Amico
I loved that. Now it has gone on to Indians versus everything.
Joe Gorman
Beautiful.
Zach Amico
This is Indian v. Elephant.
Joe Gorman
Oh, nice.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, God.
Zach Amico
So, so far, just standing next to the elephant.
Katie Hannigan
I can't watch this.
Zach Amico
I could tell that elephant poking it with a stick.
Katie Hannigan
That elephant's been up. Look how skinny it is.
Joe Gorman
Oh, yeah.
Zach Amico
You poked it with a st.
Unknown/Producer
It.
Katie Hannigan
Wow.
Zach Amico
It is now standing on his knees. It is now pushing him over with its trunk. Trunk on the back of the neck.
Unknown/Producer
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Trunk around the neck.
Joe Gorman
Whoa.
Zach Amico
And now it is putting its full wing. Oh, my God. On his spine.
Unknown/Producer
Whoa.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, God. I just feel bad for the elephant.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. You have to respect these animals.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. You can't.
Zach Amico
Like, how many mad was this thing that this happened?
Katie Hannigan
I know. They go crazy. They go crazy from being in confinement.
Joe Gorman
They don't. They're not meant to do. They're not meant to serve us.
Katie Hannigan
No, they're not.
Joe Gorman
Look at that. Look at that.
Katie Hannigan
I like it. Don't torture creature this mighty. Have some boundaries and respect. Thank you. Hardy rocks 465. I'm just saying my sentiment exactly.
Zach Amico
You know, maybe we don't need to tame. Maybe we don't need to ride those.
Katie Hannigan
Don't go on an elephant ride when you're in Thailand. White bitch.
Joe Gorman
Plenty of domesticated animals you can't like. Horses were. Are domesticated. To ride a dog.
Katie Hannigan
Ride a dog.
Joe Gorman
I would love to ride a giant dog. Oh, man, if I could ride my dog, that would be great.
Katie Hannigan
That's great. There's mastiffs in this. The East Village mastiffs. Have you seen them?
Joe Gorman
I've seen it. My mom used to have a bouvier dog, which is one of those giant sheepdog. They look like a big endless. Like, if it was like, oh, damn. Like, like little kids would all. And like, little kids love big dogs. Like, they get all excited to run up. Beautiful.
Katie Hannigan
They're actually good for city life because they can't really run. They can only just go walking.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And I just. I. I want to commend said elephant.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
I wish more and more elephant. I wish. I wish they had a union.
Katie Hannigan
I do too.
Zach Amico
And yeah, maybe something that, like that big and that powerful, we should take it as a sign from God to leave it where it belongs.
Joe Gorman
Unless you have, like, that natural Kind of charisma, like Tarzan and you can naturally, like, tame. You have, like, a connection.
Katie Hannigan
If you're a whisperer, then it's fine.
Joe Gorman
If you put out your hand like this and, like, their trunk touches your hand and you have a connection, and then they wrap their trunk around you and put you on their back, that's
Katie Hannigan
the next thing you know, that guy's, like, molesting them.
Zach Amico
But if you need to poke it with a stick to do what you're doing or you need to hit it, you got what you got.
Katie Hannigan
And I shit on America all the time. I hate this country. And it's falling apart. But we do have animal regulations. We do have. They don't do that here.
Joe Gorman
Yeah, they don't do that. They stop doing all the elephant.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
They don't do animal exhibits. And, like, honestly, it's good. It's much shittier now, but it's probably for the best.
Katie Hannigan
I went to a circus in Russia.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
I studied abroad there. We went to a circus. It was the most up thing I have ever seen.
Joe Gorman
That's where, like, the bears ride around the tricycle.
Katie Hannigan
Right. I saw it. They were driving cars, and they were up out of their minds.
Joe Gorman
I bet, like, that was, like.
Katie Hannigan
Was horrific.
Zach Amico
Nailed to those bikes, though, right?
Katie Hannigan
I mean, these guys were just driving a little car. They were just. It was like a go kart, but, like, every animal.
Zach Amico
That does sound hilarious.
Katie Hannigan
It was pretty cool.
Zach Amico
Who's driving? Bears driving.
Joe Gorman
That's like Siegfried and Roy. Like, all of their tigers were always, like, drugged up until, like, the drugs wore off. And then, yeah, Roy got mauled.
Katie Hannigan
What's the same thing with the. You know, the monkey that attacked the lady, Ripped the lady's face off. She has a new face, by the way.
Joe Gorman
Oh, good for her. She looks great.
Zach Amico
Great in comparison. Yes.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
But she also. It was drunk.
Katie Hannigan
It was on Percocet. Yeah. Because. Because they get so aggressive once they get older. You have to medicate them.
Zach Amico
Wasn't one of the ladies also doing sex stuff with one?
Joe Gorman
I'm sure probably.
Katie Hannigan
They all are. They all are.
Zach Amico
I don't trust it.
Katie Hannigan
They're, like, calling it people. Their boyfriend.
Joe Gorman
I won't even jerk off in front of my dog.
Zach Amico
Dog. Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
Well, I hope not.
Joe Gorman
But, like, I mean, like, he's not gonna be in the room, you know? I'm like, all right, you got to go in the other room, buddy.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
Dad's gotta go exorcise these demons.
Zach Amico
Well, they say Bubbles, Michael Jackson's monkey turned 40, got older, and he's still alive.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, yeah.
Zach Amico
But they said they used to keep him down, like, once Bubbles turned.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, yeah, they have to.
Zach Amico
They had to keep him, like, all the way at the end of Neverland. And he would fucking, like, call people over. Like, little kids would want to beat him and he would just mush them with.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, he would.
Zach Amico
In his hand. And just.
Katie Hannigan
They're vicious. They'll kill each other over a banana.
Joe Gorman
Well, they don't want to be in, like, a small, little confined. They don't want to, like, wear clothes, like, just let them, like, you know, if you really care, you should donate to an animal preserve.
Katie Hannigan
They have 99.7 the same DNA.
Joe Gorman
That's crazy.
Katie Hannigan
Chimpanzees.
Joe Gorman
That's wild.
Katie Hannigan
Wild.
Joe Gorman
I mean, like, there used to be, like, all kinds of different species of like. Like Homo sapiens and humans, like.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, the Neanderthals. But we kill each other.
Joe Gorman
Yeah. And they were like. Apparently there were like, several different species of humans, like, back then. And like, Homo sapiens were the ones that kind of like out the genetics of the others. And some died off. They're little, like, pygmy people. And there's some that were like 9ft tall, kind of Bigfoot type people.
Zach Amico
Well, the. What they think Bigfoot was, was Gigantopithecus.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Which was the. A nine foot bipedal.
Joe Gorman
It's so scary to think that.
Zach Amico
And then. So if you look at the. This is gonna be. I apologize. This is conspiracy, Zach. If you look at. Thank you. Gigantic Pythagoras. When you look at what are considered Bigfoot areas, which is northern Canada. Northern Canada into Oregon, in that area, Pacific Northwest. Now, what else, other than Bigfoot have we heard about the yeti? Right. Abominable Snowman.
Katie Hannigan
Yes.
Zach Amico
And that goes through Asia, through the mountains.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Those areas were connected before when it was Pangea.
Katie Hannigan
Right.
Zach Amico
So they think there is a through line where all those apes could have walked from Asia to America before the continent split.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And that it's all one version of something and different people throughout history have seen it.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And that's where we get Bigfoot from.
Katie Hannigan
I believe that that's a conspiracy theory I'm on board with.
Joe Gorman
I can get behind that, you know,
Katie Hannigan
because it's like they have all that evidence that, like, octopi are super intelligent. It's like there's so much that we don't know about the Earth and.
Zach Amico
Shannon, we can end with this. Can you please look up? I just watched some. It was an exhibit at a zoo where they have Ropes and they show you how strong the different animals are. And could you beat this animal in a tug of war? So basically it's like a rope and it's connected to a weight and it's the average strength of that animal. And it shows how quickly we would lose.
Joe Gorman
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Like competing with stuff. You're like, oh, I got that. And you're like, nope, that thing would rip me up.
Katie Hannigan
Wow.
Zach Amico
And Shannon, I don't know exactly what you would search. Maybe rope strength test zoo.
Shannon
Does this look like it?
Zach Amico
That looks exactly like it.
Unknown/Producer
It.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, wow.
Unknown/Producer
See?
Joe Gorman
Oh, damn.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. These. These guys. I would not around with one of these animals.
Shannon
I think Lewis needs to do this.
Joe Gorman
No.
Zach Amico
Oh. Guarantee you. Lewis thinks he could be. Dude. Lewis told us he could beat a moose in a fight. And then we had to show him how big moose are.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah, you don't want to around with a moose.
Joe Gorman
You think it's like a Bullwinkle thing. It's like. Like the size of like three cows or something. It's massive.
Zach Amico
He argued that he could choke out a moose MMA style.
Joe Gorman
He would like, jump on the. He would like, gravitate.
Katie Hannigan
This year at Skank Fest, it'll be animal cruelty, but that'll sell some tickets
Zach Amico
I'm not opposed to. Shannon, was there any more to that? That was it.
Shannon
No, that was it.
Zach Amico
Okay. Yes, Lewis has claimed. Has there been an animal Lewis hasn't claimed he could beat?
Katie Hannigan
No, no.
Shannon
He thinks he could beat them all.
Joe Gorman
The only thing that can stop Louis J. Gomez is another Louis J.
Zach Amico
Go
Shannon
mentioned being scared of bears. Right?
Katie Hannigan
I mean, you can't.
Joe Gorman
Big gay men.
Zach Amico
Not the animal, but yes.
Katie Hannigan
Grizzly bear or a polar bear, you're not gonna.
Joe Gorman
Polar bears will like you up there,
Katie Hannigan
and grizzly bears are huge. But black bears, you could. You could probably fight a black.
Joe Gorman
I mean, like black bears, you just like go on shoe.
Shannon
Yeah.
Joe Gorman
You know.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. They're small.
Joe Gorman
They're small pandas. I could fuck up a panda, but that's all.
Zach Amico
I bet I. I bet a panda on a good day is a. Yeah.
Katie Hannigan
What about a koala, though? I held one one time when I.
Joe Gorman
That must have been nice.
Katie Hannigan
It was. It pissed on me.
Joe Gorman
Oh, nice. That means it likes you.
Zach Amico
That's what they do.
Joe Gorman
It feels comfortable, it feels safe, and
Katie Hannigan
it grabs on to you. I was. I was like a kid when I did it and it was just latched onto my tit immediately. You can see it in the photos.
Joe Gorman
It's just sexual harassment.
Katie Hannigan
Yeah. I was like.
Zach Amico
I watched this thing of orangutans feeling up women today made me laugh. But women are also showing up in like, bikini. Bikini tops with titty meat falling out to where now it's like a photo op with orangutans.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, of course. For Instagram.
Joe Gorman
I didn't know when orangutans had that big. Those big cheek face things that was like. Because they're like in mating season. I thought they just looked like.
Zach Amico
I did not know that either.
Katie Hannigan
Oh, yeah. I mean, they're vicious.
Joe Gorman
They're scary looking.
Katie Hannigan
In a heartbeat. That'll kill you.

Guests: Joe Gorman & Katie Hannigan | Released: May 29, 2026
Theme: Morning chaos, taboo news, and off-kilter hilarity, featuring discussions on Britney Spears’ sobriety, personal assault stories, nicotine pouches, hygiene rituals, animal revenge, and more.
On this Memorial Day edition of the Morning Zoo, Zac is joined by standup comics Joe Gorman and Katie Hannigan for an unfiltered romp through scandalous celeb news, life on the road, bodily mishaps, evolving personal hygiene, animal stories, and—of course—total morning pandemonium. The crew shares intimately funny and sometimes harrowing personal stories before diving into viral news and wrestling absurdities, all wrapped in Zac’s irreverently caring tone.

Zac Amico on tour bus etiquette:
"No duties on the bus. You’re not allowed to. Especially if it’s not your bus." — [12:19]
Joe Gorman, wrestling trauma:
"All the wrestlers would always have their cup. The Gatorade bottle... and then when I switched to something where I didn’t have to spit, that was ideal." — [27:47–28:07]
Katie Hannigan, on being assaulted:
"I froze. And I turned around, he was hobbling away. I assume because he was hard; it probably did it for him." — [17:36]

Brash, irreverent, compassionate, rough-and-tumble—equal parts crass morning radio and self-aware therapy session. Zac and company always land on the side of empathy, rooting for wayward animals, exploited celebrities, good hygiene, and, occasionally, responsible masculinity.
Final Thought:
This episode overflows with wild stories, earnest camaraderie, and a refreshingly honest look at bodily functions, vulnerability, and the oddities of modern life—just what the Morning Zoo promises.
