Episode Overview

This episode is a classic Morning Zoo blend: irreverent comedy, riffing on current weird news, cultural commentary, and deep dives into B-movie and pop culture oddities. Zac welcomes Josie Marcelino, Anthony Zenhauser, and first-timer Travis Przybylski into the jungle of the GaS Digital studio on a sweltering New York City day, and the group chases tangents darting from urban rodeos and vigilante justice to failed Hollywood oddities and the realities of fat-shaming. It's sharp, chaotic, frequently inappropriate—and relentlessly funny.

The same thing we like our favorite segment here on the show, aka sometimes the bull wins. Bull Rider, 25, hospitalized after being trampled at NYC Rodeo. Shannon. Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Let's make the Bronx more dangerous. That's a idea. Was that necessary?

[Zack Amico]

All right, let's back it up for a second. This can't be legal. This is like a. A popup rodeo.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah, yeah, like a Park city. Yeah. I was wondering, I'm like, where could they possibly be doing a rodeo in New York? And then I saw the Bronx and it's.

[Zack Amico]

I'm gonna take a while.

[Josie Marcelino]

Guess that's a backyard or something.

[Zack Amico]

That's a baseball field, right? Yeah, that's in a Park.

[Travis Przybylski]

That's P.S. 118, I think.

[Zack Amico]

Shannon, do you have any. Is this a legal thing that you can do? I feel like a rodeo. New York City is asking for trouble.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I've seen people barbecue in the middle of the street in the Bronx. I think anything they.

[Josie Marcelino]

Do you think that that's the same thing as like a. A live bull riding a live bull? I mean, just grilling.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

It's equally as annoying to, you know, to get in the middle of it for sure. I. I'm just saying that, like there's.

[Zack Amico]

I was gonna say there's some kids. You haven't been to the right Kinsanera if, you know, if you don't think it's the, the equal of riding a bull.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

They're all black people there too.

[Zack Amico]

I.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Black people usually run away from danger and those people were, were running into it. I. I've never seen that.

[Josie Marcelino]

Black people love to watch a spectacle. Have you never seen World Star hip hop?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I've seen that, but I don't see the black people actually getting on the bowl.

[Josie Marcelino]

Was that a black guy on a.

[Zack Amico]

I thought it was a very tan Hispanic, I think.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Let's see it again.

[Travis Przybylski]

A lot of Latinos, actually.

[Shannon Maldonado]

Yeah,

[Anthony Zenhauser]

he might be an Indian guy. Might have thought it was a train.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah.

[Travis Przybylski]

This is like 720p at best, so this is hard to really tell.

[Josie Marcelino]

I'm hearing a lot of Spanish, so it feels like I'm.

[Zack Amico]

I'm thinking Dominican. I'm thinking dark Spanish.

[Travis Przybylski]

Especially if it's like upper Manhattan, Bronx, you know, that's kind of. That guy looked Latina.

[Zack Amico]

The amount of coolers and hot dog stand umbrellas leads me to lean Latino.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Makes way more sense.

[Josie Marcelino]

The one thing that I have learned from living in Baltimore and then Philadelphia is that, yeah, black people don't like animals that much. Like, they. They're afraid of animals. So I don't think it's like a. I don't think that.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah, that makes way more sense. I get, I get. I get that, that they're spectating. I can see them watching it going, oh, shit.

[Josie Marcelino]

If you see somebody ride a bull, I don't care who you are, you're going to watch it.

[Travis Przybylski]

I just don't know that Dominicans would disgrace a baseball field like that.

[Zack Amico]

That's very true.

[Josie Marcelino]

That's a really good point.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

That Bull's actually 35, but his birth

[Anthony Zenhauser]

certificate,

[Zack Amico]

they brought him back into the miners. Shannon, do we have any info or. We just had the video.

[Researcher/Producer]

So it was, it is legal and it was a Sanctioned event. The guy and the guy is stable in the hospital.

[Travis Przybylski]

Let's get Zoharon on the phone. What is going on here? That's crazy.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah. We got big dude for the shit you can't do in New York City. If you could set up a rodeo, right? With a bull. With a bull. That's got to be an issue.

[Travis Przybylski]

Who's lying about his age?

[Zack Amico]

A deceitful bull.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

And whatever keeps them from selling churros in the subway out of garbage bags.

[Josie Marcelino]

I feel like if you're hopping on the back of a bull like that has to that it feels weird that that's news like that has to happen all the time.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Not in the Bronx though.

[Josie Marcelino]

Well, no, that's. That's the surprise part of the story is that it took place in New York City. But like as far as like getting trampled by a bull at a bull riding event, that's like par for the course. Beach. Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Now do you think now. So now I've been very interested in what's the cat shit disease? Toxic plasmosis.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Toxioplasmos.

[Zack Amico]

Toxic plasmosis.

[Researcher/Producer]

Yeah, toxoplasmosis.

[Zack Amico]

Thank you.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You got it right.

[Zack Amico]

I wonder what the Venn diagram is on who has that and who rides bulls.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, I mean way more people with toxiplasmosis.

[Zack Amico]

Because they say it's like a majority of motorcycle accidents have it.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

A lot of white women over 40.

[Zack Amico]

Well, no. It leads to danger seeking activities and reckless behavior.

[Josie Marcelino]

So do a lot of. Like when I had encephalitis, I got naked in a fountain and fought cops. Like that's. There's so many things. Your brain is so fragile now, Josie.

[Zack Amico]

Your brain is so fragile. As the only person I would assume sitting at this table who's been nude in a fountain and fought cops. Gentlemen gotta be beat.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

No, I've just thrown quarters and women fighting cop.

[Josie Marcelino]

I do that more.

[Zack Amico]

I think that's a you.

[Josie Marcelino]

That's a me.

[Zack Amico]

I do think there's something to lower income areas where animals aren't cleaned, aren't kept as pristine. And maybe their waste is in the street. Well, but not cleaned up as much. I think that can get you the worm.

[Josie Marcelino]

I mean for sure. But also, I mean it doesn't even have to be like a. You know, like a city for that. Like think about how many. No you've lived in the city your whole life. But I'm just thinking of like back home. How many girls houses I would go to that would just smell like there's Eight cats that live there and it's like, no, it's just one. And a lot of people like let their animals, I don't know, a lot of people's animals don't have good bathroom habits in the house is what I've noticed in adult life, which really bothers me.

[Zack Amico]

Do you guys agree with me? So you go in, loose cat. Fine. Loose dog. Of course. What animal makes you go, oh, I think they might be crazy?

[Travis Przybylski]

I mean, reptiles for sure. Any reptile. A snake, of course.

[Josie Marcelino]

You know, snake is terrifying.

[Travis Przybylski]

Even like small rodents. Ferrets.

[Zack Amico]

See, Ferrets. Mine, yeah. Ferret to me is a first of all, to me, I think it is the white trash animal. Of course, nothing screams stepdad, stepdad issues like pajama pants and a fucking ferret.

[Josie Marcelino]

I'm gonna put. I think if you have a dog, it doesn't matter what kind of dog, but if there's pee pads in the house or like a baby gate up. Yeah. It's like, this is not like a six week old puppy. It's like you've had this dog a couple years and you have either baby gates up or you have pee pads out. I'm like, you are not in control of your house.

[Zack Amico]

Wee, wee pad for the dog is a problem.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Anything that's a rodent, like a rat.

[Travis Przybylski]

Rat trouble.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Hamsters, rabbits. Rabbits. I mean, it just says, hey, that's not coming home.

[Zack Amico]

So I will say rabbit. Terrible roommate.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah. A terrible, horrible wingman.

[Zack Amico]

Terrible creature to deal with. Lives with a girl who had a rabbit. Reggie. Reggie.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's a weird name for a girl.

[Zack Amico]

Fucking sucked Reggie. Okay. He was cute. Bitches liked him.

[Travis Przybylski]

They're deceiving because they seem cute. You want a rabbit, you're like, aw, like a bunny, you know? But then you get it. And in practice I feel like first

[Zack Amico]

of all, they make a noise.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

And it's not like it's a. Right, that's what they do. And then they thump all goddamn night.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah. But I have a three legged cat and she thumps all goddamn night.

[Zack Amico]

I don't think it's the same leg strength.

[Josie Marcelino]

It's a, it's a pretty dramatic thump.

[Zack Amico]

No, they're so fucking loud.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

They're annoying. And they're rats. They're just cute rats. Like squirrels. People tolerate squirrels, people tolerate rabbits, they even tolerate hamsters. But if, but if you see a rat, you're like, oh, that's gross. That's fucked up.

[Josie Marcelino]

That just comes with living outside. Like people are like, pigeons are gross,

[Anthony Zenhauser]

but they're they are gross. They're filthy, filthy animals.

[Josie Marcelino]

Only because they live outside. If you brought them inside, you gave it a bath. And it's cute.

[Travis Przybylski]

They used to be domesticated, but then we fuck.

[Josie Marcelino]

They still technically are domesticated. We just have abandoned them and they

[Travis Przybylski]

just like never developed. They never evolved. Yeah, they live outside.

[Josie Marcelino]

They like can't un. Domesticate themselves. It's very sad.

[Travis Przybylski]

They're fucking idiots.

[Josie Marcelino]

You know, we taught pigeons to pilot missiles. We were using them to do that. And then we abandoned them. They would show. So like, they would.

[Zack Amico]

Please elaborate.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

So you're saying that pigeons are like the homeless vets?

[Josie Marcelino]

Yes, yes. Of the animal kingdom. Yes. So back before they had like the

[Zack Amico]

heat, they came back and we were spitting on them and stuff.

[Josie Marcelino]

Exactly.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

A killer. A killer.

[Josie Marcelino]

Before they were able to direct.

[Zack Amico]

Go back to Mike Tyson's house, before

[Josie Marcelino]

they were able to direct the missiles, like remotely, what they would do was they trained pigeons to look out of like this. Essentially like the small hole. And they would show them this image and they would put food behind it. So they would peck at it. And then they threw them in the live missiles and just directed them towards that thing. They pecked at it. So yeah, they were suicide bombers. And then we gave up on them. They pecked towards it and then they directed the missile that way to hit the target.

[Zack Amico]

Not that I don't believe, Joseph.

[Travis Przybylski]

I didn't believe either.

[Josie Marcelino]

My ex told me and I had to look it up.

[Zack Amico]

And Shannon, I'm gonna ask you to back it up, please. Just. Cause I free whom we fall for things. And I'm not saying I don't believe you. I'm saying I would like to.

[Josie Marcelino]

That's fair. Because I was skeptical on this one too. And then I looked it up.

[Travis Przybylski]

I still have a hard time believing pigeons can like, bring a message somewhere.

[Josie Marcelino]

They're very smart.

[Gas Digital Network Announcer]

That.

[Travis Przybylski]

That baffles me.

[Josie Marcelino]

They're very smart.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

So they're terrorists? Pretty much. Like you can train them. You can train them. Like, I think it's really what happened when we.

[Josie Marcelino]

We won those wars. So. No, they're heroes.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You know what happened at the US Embassy? The Iranian pigeons staged a couple.

[Zack Amico]

That's a Bill Hicks. That's an old Bill Hicks. Yeah. He talks about when they were. When they were visiting, they tried to figure out the Kenned assassination. And they're their Cuban. They were Cuban pigeons. Oh my God. Say coo. Coo.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

It all comes full circle.

[Zack Amico]

Shannon, bring that back up. No. You didn't know you were being a hack.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yes.

[Zack Amico]

During World War II, the US military ran a secret program called Project Pigeon that trained pigeons to guide missiles. Developed by famed psychologist B.F. skinner, the system housed a pigeon in the nose core of a missile or would peck at a target projected on a screen to adjust the flight.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Don't make shit like that up.

[Zack Amico]

And guide the weapon.

[Josie Marcelino]

I got one.

[Zack Amico]

Are you suicide bomber? If you don't know, like, yeah, I bet if they were like, hey, it wasn't a sign up program.

[Josie Marcelino]

Right.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

They wanted to eat those pigeons are

[Josie Marcelino]

getting their 72 virgins in heaven, so it all ends up the same way.

[Zack Amico]

Didn't the CIA also tried to use cats as spy devices? So they would put like recording devices on cats? Yeah, I think they spent like millions of dollars in years. And they released the cat to, I believe, listen to the Russian embassy, and it immediately got run over by a truck. It was like years of work and this thing made it a couple hours in the street.

[Travis Przybylski]

That's crazy.

[Josie Marcelino]

That's terrible. But awesome.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

They were. I think they were doing it with cockroaches now, which I think China was using. Like cockroaches. They were putting little cameras on them and putting them out there.

[Zack Amico]

I did not know.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah, I think that because those things avoid death at all.

[Travis Przybylski]

I don't know. I'm still not convinced they're not just alien surveillance cockroaches. You know what I mean? Like, how are they surviving everything and like, they're everywhere. You know, what the fuck's going on with them?

[Josie Marcelino]

They can live like a week without their head.

[Travis Przybylski]

They're disgusting.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah, they're like plastic. They breathe through their body. They don't breathe through their head, so. But they can live like a week without water. So they just keep going.

[Zack Amico]

Terrible.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah, Awful. They're awful.

Mexican Batman, vigilante wanted for chasing down suspected motorbike thieves and taping them to lamp posts. Right, I'm in.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

He hung them from a tree and then started beating them with a stick.

[Josie Marcelino]

I hope he's wanted for, like, high fives, because that's awesome. He can't be wanted for arrest.

[Zack Amico]

Shannon, give us this Mexican Batman. I can't call him Batman. Well, because that's from the tech.

[Researcher/Producer]

Here's a couple.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Batman.

[Zack Amico]

Well, thank you.

[Researcher/Producer]

A couple pictures.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I'm here for it.

[Researcher/Producer]

Here's a couple of them. And he also drew.

[Zack Amico]

Oh, he ties him up like Batman does.

[Travis Przybylski]

That's a lot of duct tape.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's great.

[Travis Przybylski]

Bad hombre.

[Zack Amico]

Now, is he dressed like Batman or is he just a vigilante?

[Researcher/Producer]

They don't know who he is.

[Travis Przybylski]

Oh, so they're just assigning Batman to this guy?

[Josie Marcelino]

Did he declare Batman?

[Travis Przybylski]

Okay, I was like, did this guy declare that he is the new Batman?

[Researcher/Producer]

No, they don't. They don't know he is. They found 10 different people strung up like this over the course of a couple of weeks. And he leaves, like, a sign above it. He writes, like, thief in Spanish on them, draws these whiskers and then puts in front of them the. The motorcycles that they've stolen.

[Travis Przybylski]

He draws whiskers on them?

[Rabbi Philip]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Catman.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah. How did he miss that one?

[Zack Amico]

I mean, it's rules. We need more of these guys. This should be a club.

[Travis Przybylski]

This is kind of sick.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah, I think it's great.

[Rabbi Philip]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

They don't have a bat signal. It's just here. Enchilada. I gotta go. I'm sure his job, his landscaping job is pissed. They're using all that.

[Zack Amico]

That masking tape he did, he's mowing. He just sees in the sky.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Just a lawn mower.

[Zack Amico]

I like the idea of having to come back to work and put the uniform back on. Just sweaty.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, yeah.

[Zack Amico]

What happened? Sorry. Lunch break.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah, he's doing it between jobs.

[Zack Amico]

Between jobs? It's his fourth job. When you want to assemble a Justice League, you have to go to a Home Depot at 6am. That's been on my mind.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You got to go there. You got to assemble them with a pickup truck.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, I've been doing a lot of Al Madrigal again. Oh, he really makes Me crack up.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

He's good. He's. He's poignant and he understands his own people.

[Zack Amico]

Have you ever picked up a laborer?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

No. I don't know.

[Zack Amico]

I mean, I grew up around people that did it, so.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right.

[Gas Digital Network Announcer]

I did.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Why? Because I'm a white guy. Look like a. Like, I don't know, my own landscaping.

[Zack Amico]

You need help? No, not for. You mean just for a dad?

[Josie Marcelino]

No, you just look like you pick up guys to commit hate crimes.

[Travis Przybylski]

Actually, no, my dad definitely we. I, me, my dad, and two Mexican dudes. I mean, I'm assuming Mexican, but we picked them up literally outside of a Home Depot and we cleared out a storage unit. And it was. I was. I don't know, 17.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

The 20 bucks each, something like that. It was. It was insanely.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Watch. Watch this, son. Slave labor. You're learning a valuable lesson today.

[Travis Przybylski]

That is a white trash thing to do, though.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

It is. Oh, totally.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

I mean, if they need the work, they're working off the books. They probably would have made less working at, like, a minimum wage thing. The tax is getting taken out.

[Travis Przybylski]

He definitely respected them, but from a racial standpoint, you know, it definitely had some undertones. He definitely said, we're picking up a couple Mexicans before we picked them.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right. He didn't let them drink out of his cups. He got like, an empty milk carton or something. Here you go. You guys look thirsty.

[Zack Amico]

Here's the hose.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Here's the hose. You might want to wait 10 minutes or so to let that sucker get cold.

[Zack Amico]

I mean, I don't think this is too. I mean, I remember one of my dad's job sites. Three drones came over and we didn't know what it was. And then just fucking Escalades. And a lot of boys took off, and I don't think any of them came back for work the next day. 40 guys running in different directions.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

When was that?

[Zack Amico]

This is years and years ago.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, yeah. Even back then. Right. I worked jobs where guys had to, like, run out the back door, like, if it was a kitchen situation.

[Travis Przybylski]

Restaurants, you're gonna.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah. They get their inspection, somebody's coming in, and. And these guys just. And they know the drill. They're just. They just duck out.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, they don't make a show of it, though. They're just gone. When you turn around and they're gone,

[Anthony Zenhauser]

it's an Irish goodbye. But. But with Mexicans.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Mexican chow. They say, adios.

[Zack Amico]

Mexican adios.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Mexican ad. Irish adios.

[Zack Amico]

But, yeah, they. They. I've Had a number. You know, you work with your gu. You know, your guys. I, I. When my dad called in, we talked about Jesus.

[Josie Marcelino]

Right.

[Zack Amico]

Who hid in a pipe once because my dad said INS was there. And then we found he's using that pipe seven hours later because everyone forgot to tell him that it wasn't ins. It was a big pipe. He was comfortable enough still. Yeah, that's hilarious. You know, they all have big families and.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah. And they're not gonna find this, this Mexican Batman. There's no way he's. If those guys hide in pipes, like, they're not finding this guy.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

No.

[Zack Amico]

But what we need now is Mexican Joker. Yoker the yoga.

[Travis Przybylski]

Burning up pesos.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, I mean, piles of pesos. Hispanic people love the Joker Ks so seriosa. Yeah. The only people that like Joker more are black guys. And I'm convinced black guys are only Joker for every Halloween because they already own a purple suit. If you ever see a white guy, that's the Joker or Captain Jack Sparrow. That's because he's a guy who wants to wear makeup and is afraid to do it the other 364 days of the year.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right.

[Zack Amico]

If you see a black guy dress as Joker, he went, I already have the suit. Right. I can do this.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right. It only works on Halloween and Easter, that suit.

[Josie Marcelino]

Can we make you Joker for one of the naked Roast nights?

[Zack Amico]

No. It's too.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I, I,

[Zack Amico]

I wish Joker wasn't so overdone because I love so many of the comics, but I feel like it's so hack. And I was in a naked Joker. No, I've been. I was in a movie years ago, and I was like a clown in a, Like a gang.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Sure.

[Zack Amico]

You know, as you have. As you do. And the guy didn't tell me. He named me Joker to the end, and I was so mad at him that it was Joker in the credits.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Well, how does he get away with that?

[Zack Amico]

Because it was just the name of the character. But it just made me. I was like, oh, man, make me something funny like Tiny.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right.

[Zack Amico]

Might be like the third movie. My name is Tiny. And by the way, Binky, to be

[Travis Przybylski]

fair, I think the Heath Ledger's Joker was the Joker, and then Joaquin Phoenix's was just Joker. So you might have beat Joaquin on that. Honestly, for just Joker.

[Zack Amico]

Okay. I hated. I would do hate walking Phoenix Joker. Really hate it.

[Josie Marcelino]

I like even when it.

[Zack Amico]

I would.

[Josie Marcelino]

Because I know everybody.

[Zack Amico]

I like Jared Leto Joker better than Joaquin Phoenix.

[Josie Marcelino]

Why? I haven't seen either. I've just never heard that Take from anyone.

[Zack Amico]

I'm prepared to defend this.

[Josie Marcelino]

Okay.

[Zack Amico]

Joaquin Phoenix. Joker is just Taxi driver meets King of Comedy with Batman IP slapped over it.

[Josie Marcelino]

That sounds cool. Yeah, they don't.

[Travis Przybylski]

It's just a mentally ill guy. They don't even go into him really being the Joker. You know what I mean? I didn't see the second one.

[Josie Marcelino]

Second one's musical.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, I heard the set. Tim Dillon's in it and even he trashes it.

[Josie Marcelino]

Is called one of like the worst movies of all time.

[Travis Przybylski]

But yeah, they don't actually. You don't actually get to see him be the super villain. You know, he shoots Robert De Niro in the face and that's about it.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

And he's kind of a. Like, that's the. That's the thing that bothers me about Joaquin. Joaquin? Yeah. Joaquin's Joker. Is that he doesn't. He's not the totally psychopathic devil may care. No. You know, fearless guy like. Like you can't do something like. Like whatever they were doing in the first Joker. And then he sees the cops and he gets scared and he runs away. Now he should be there, like, ready to party.

[Zack Amico]

I don't like the idea of a self loathing, kind of nebuchy, sad supervillain.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, it's a Jewish thing.

[Zack Amico]

No, not.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You said Nebuchadnezzar.

[Zack Amico]

Sure, I. Go ahead.

[Josie Marcelino]

I feel like that's just real. Like every. Like any mass killer or like any. But they are pussies.

[Zack Amico]

They are usually whiny. Yes, they are usually very whiny.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I don't. I don't watch DC movies for reality. I watch it because I want to.

[Josie Marcelino]

You want them to be like a cool super villain.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah. I like Caesar Roman Romero. Joker the best. I like, you know, that goofy.

[Zack Amico]

I like Mark Hamill Joker the best. That's a good cartoon.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's a good one too. That's great.

[Zack Amico]

Jack Nicholson, Joker is great, but it's just Jack Nicholson.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Jared Leto. Joker I actually like because I don't think he's Joker.

[Travis Przybylski]

Elaborate.

[Zack Amico]

I think he's Jason Todd. I think the big reveal was going to be that instead of killing Robin, the Joker was killed by Robin and Robin became the new Joker. And that's why that was old Batman had a young Joker.

[Travis Przybylski]

So Jason Todd is the one that becomes Nightwing. Right. So instead of becoming Nightwing, he becomes Joker?

[Zack Amico]

Mm, I believe so. Yeah. Well, there's three.

[Travis Przybylski]

Right.

[Zack Amico]

And then they did a thing in the comics where you could vote whether or not the Joker kills Robin and everyone's like, yes, I think that is the one who became Jared Leto Joke. Interesting because he's literally got a robin tattooed on him. And in Batman's lair, he. They have the Robin outfit with Joker spray paint on it. Wow. So I think they were going for that and had to pull the plug on it.

[Travis Przybylski]

That sucks.

[Zack Amico]

Now that being said, I hated the Justice League movie. Maybe the most boring of ever, any superhero movie.

[Travis Przybylski]

I thought Will Smith was great in that.

[Zack Amico]

I don't know.

[Josie Marcelino]

I didn't know he was in it. Who did he play?

[Travis Przybylski]

No, that was. What was that?

[Zack Amico]

Suicide Squad.

[Travis Przybylski]

I haven't seen any of them.

[Zack Amico]

Also terrible. Yeah, second Suicide Squad. Very good. But Justice League was horrendous. I believe the director's cut one out of every four shots was slow motion. I fell asleep every time I tried to watch it. I fucking hated it.

[Travis Przybylski]

I fall asleep in superhero movies regardless. I started falling asleep in Marvel movies like back at like the. I mean, the orig. Thor sucked. But like even like I fell asleep like Captain America, Civil War. Like I. I just can't. Too much CGI and everything. I'm like, this is just the same movie over and over again. That's my take.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Who's your best Batman? Your opinion? We're doing best jokers. We're doing shittiest jokers. You like Keaton? Keaton in the Flash series? You ever seen that? Unbelievable. Does they reprise his character? He's a older Batman, but he's.

[Travis Przybylski]

I respect that.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

The original Michael Keaton Batman, but he's a kick ass dude. Like he's still beating the out of people, Right. Oh, what am I thinking of? The wrong thing I might be thinking. I thought he was in the flesh series, right? Yeah, he was.

[Travis Przybylski]

Okay.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Okay. Yeah. There's that one scene where he's like up dudes in his kitchen or whatever.

[Zack Amico]

I just think he's the best Batman to Bruce Wayne ratio. Christian Bale is just Patrick Bateman when he's Bruce Wayne.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's true.

[Rabbi Philip]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Almost no personality whatsoever.

[Zack Amico]

And I hate his Batman voice.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, God, it's the worst.

[Zack Amico]

Why does.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah, I think that's. That was the biggest misstep in the whole series.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, I agree.

[Zack Amico]

Josie, how wet is your vagina?

[Josie Marcelino]

I've seen the Dark Knight once and I have no context for anything else.

[Zack Amico]

You also haven't seen a ton of movies.

[Josie Marcelino]

I haven't seen any movies. Name a movie.

[Travis Przybylski]

Forrest Gump.

[Josie Marcelino]

Haven't seen it.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You haven't seen Forest?

[Josie Marcelino]

I haven't seen Foresting. Yeah, I haven't seen Anything.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Okay, is that. Is that a personal choice or is that just your.

[Josie Marcelino]

No, it was just. I just didn't watch a ton growing up. I went to film school, so I've seen a lot of, like, obscure films that you watch in film school, and then I just got busy in my adult life. I would like to see more.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

So you're like a film. So are you a graduate from film school?

[Josie Marcelino]

I am. And I work in the film industry.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

So people like talking about film and stuff. And people go, yeah, it's just like Jaws. And you're like, who know what, what now?

[Josie Marcelino]

Haven't seen Jaws.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Jaws is a movie.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah, well, when people are like, what are your favorite movies? I'm like, they're. They're bad. I know they're objective.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

What about.

[Josie Marcelino]

But I like them.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

What about, like, who? Like, as far as directors go, like, you know, like Kubrick's work and, you

[Josie Marcelino]

know, I can identify. Yeah, like, I can identify the auteur's work, but, like, I haven't seen most of them. I just know what they. They look like.

[Rabbi Philip]

Okay.

[Travis Przybylski]

I am embarrassed to admit I had a director. When I introduced myself to her on set for the first time, I was like, hey, Travis. She's like, oh, Travis Bickle. And it went way over my head and I'm like, I was very embarrassed when I realized hours later. But, yeah, I'm in that boat too a little bit.

Tell us about what your.

[Travis Przybylski]

What your deal is with that driver's ed.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, please.

[Travis Przybylski]

It was. It was kind of like a teen comedy. It was rated R, but Bobby Farrelly directed. It was pretty cool. Molly Shannon and Kumail Nanjiani starred in it. I got to work opposite very funny comic out in la, JC Karais. And it was, you know, day player role, but basically I played a hot dog stand owner who gets robbed by his cousin, J.C. karais. A lot of fun it was. I got to play some serious white trash, and I got to hold a gun for the first time. Oh, yeah, it was. It was pretty sick. But, yeah, you could stream it. It's out. I don't actually know what platform. I'm sure you can. It's probably still renting. You probably have to rent it, but go check it out. It's a good time. What's his face? Sam Navola is the lead in that. And, yeah, Bobby was awesome to work with, though.

[Zack Amico]

That's from the Farrelly brothers, right?

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, he was really cool to work with. He, like, texted. He's the first director that I ever worked with who, like, texted me ahead of time, and I'm like, I had, like, three lines in this thing, but he texted me the night before and was like, hey, we're gonna rock this thing tomorrow. You're the right guy for the job. And I was like, that's awesome.

[Josie Marcelino]

That is cool.

[Travis Przybylski]

You need that on a set, especially for a comedy, because it's like, he gave us the permission to, like, fuck around and play, you know, I mean, like, I've been on sets where I've, like, been afraid to goof a little bit because I'm like, I don't want to try to overstep or anything.

[Josie Marcelino]

Right. But it's like, for a comedy, you have to have that energy.

[Rabbi Philip]

Yeah.

[Travis Przybylski]

And JC was. JC Is a very funny dude. And he was very, very supportive and very, like. He was a good dude to work with too. He definitely created a good environment.

[Josie Marcelino]

Nice.

[Zack Amico]

And yet another movie, he said, greedy people.

[Travis Przybylski]

That came out LA, summer of 25 or 24. Actually, that came out a little while ago, but that was. It was very Coen Brothers adjacent. Potsy Ponseroli directed that. That was Joseph Gordon Levitt and Hamesh Patel and Lily James.

[Zack Amico]

Now, do you have to work with one Indian guy in every movie you're in?

[Travis Przybylski]

Pretty much, yeah. That's my. That's in my writer, actually. I was. I'm doing this movie coming up. I'm like, there better be a Indian.

[Zack Amico]

I need a mid level famous Indian guy.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Not too spicy.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, not too bad.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Greedy people. Was that about Israel?

[Travis Przybylski]

No, it was. It was a very. It was like a sort of two cops in a coastal Carolina town. They stumble upon a murder, but they find a big bag of money and they're like, we're gonna keep this shit. And then it just kind of goes off. It's very Coen brothers inspired. You could definitely feel the Coen brothers inspiration. Didn't have a wide release or anything, but it's a fun, fun watch. I got another day player role on that hotel manager.

[Shannon Maldonado]

Nice.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You know the. When you have brothers doing stuff in movies, it usually doesn't fail. Cohen brothers. The Farley brothers. The Tarkov with Tarkovsky brothers. Is that what they're called? The Matrix guys?

[Zack Amico]

The Wachowski sisters. Sisters, brothers.

[Josie Marcelino]

They made a really good movie. And then.

[Zack Amico]

And then. Oh, boy. You've heard that. So I guess the one transition way before the other one, Was it the

[Josie Marcelino]

hot one that transitioned first or the other one?

[Zack Amico]

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure one, and I can't tell you.

[Josie Marcelino]

It's all right.

[Zack Amico]

One, I believe, lost all their money because they're a pay pig

[Josie Marcelino]

that rules.

[Zack Amico]

And I think that's why they've kept doing shitty projects.

[Travis Przybylski]

So pay pig is the person who

[Josie Marcelino]

funds who is the pig that's paying.

[Zack Amico]

Yes. I believe the. The term is fish doming or financial domination.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zack Amico]

And I believe one of the chat and I could be speaking out of school here, but hey, if you're into

[Josie Marcelino]

that, DM me, if anyone out there

[Zack Amico]

is into that, all the Matrix money, I'm open.

[Travis Przybylski]

That's a lot of money.

[Zack Amico]

Like, because, like, their thing is to literally, like, Venmo, like, open. Like Venmo a woman. Like, thousands and thousands of dollars.

[Josie Marcelino]

You think he's on Instagram. She's on Instagram.

[Zack Amico]

I mean, it's worth a shot.

[Josie Marcelino]

Try that out.

[Zack Amico]

There are. There are people out there.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, here's the thing.

[Josie Marcelino]

Oh, I've gotten money for free. I've gotten money for free. I know.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, yeah. I mean, you know, free. Is it free?

[Josie Marcelino]

No, I've legitimately gotten money for free.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Were there feet involved?

[Josie Marcelino]

No.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Okay.

[Josie Marcelino]

I have ugly feet. I got the Fred Flintstone Johns.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You think that matters to people?

[Josie Marcelino]

Yes.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Now guys will give you money for. For anything. Shannon used to fart in jars and people would give her. That's how she got through college.

[Josie Marcelino]

So that is actually the woman who did do that.

[Zack Amico]

She had to with the college.

[Josie Marcelino]

The woman who did fart in jars was. I've been a producer on a reality show for the last five years, and she was one of my girls who did that.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's Great.

[Josie Marcelino]

Made over $1 million doing that.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Is that crazy? We both had a fart in the jar anecdote.

[Zack Amico]

It's a small world.

[Josie Marcelino]

It's a small world.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Seems like it's more consistent than, you know, you would think after the Matrix. Did what? That was like a one trick pony, let's be honest. Right. I mean, they had the concept and it was a great mo. And then they did like two more

[Zack Amico]

and it was super convoluted and they were horrible. Yes. And then they did Speed Racer V for Vendetta, which was okay.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Vendetta was all right.

[Zack Amico]

She was hot in the baby doll dress with the shaved head.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Have they done anything good since then? I don't.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I've never heard their name come across again.

[Travis Przybylski]

They rebooted the Matrix though, right? Didn't they, like, do it?

[Zack Amico]

They reckon it.

[Travis Przybylski]

Okay. Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Where it was like. I think they, like, kind of undid the timeline.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Wow.

[Zack Amico]

Now, if we're gonna talk Farrelly brothers, I want to bring up a movie.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Please, let's do that.

[Zack Amico]

That we have not you to brought up. What's that little film by the name of Homies Pomoni. Oh, what were you gonna say?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I was gonna say Three Stooges.

[Zack Amico]

Oh, okay. I'm not shooting on Three Stooges at all. Pretty goddamn funny.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Amazing.

[Travis Przybylski]

Sasso.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Amazing movie.

[Zack Amico]

Sasso. Incredible. Larry David, maybe my favorite named character in any movie.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Great.

[Zack Amico]

Sister Mary Mengele. The Three Stooges movie is very, very funny.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You've seen that movie, right?

[Researcher/Producer]

No.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Okay. No, it's. It's great. But talk about.

[Zack Amico]

So have you heard of Homie Pomoni?

[Travis Przybylski]

I haven't, no.

[Zack Amico]

Shannon, bring up a trailer. Oh, hell yeah. This is a. I don't want to call it lost media because you can find. Is not really available for sale most places.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Like Dogma.

[Zack Amico]

Well, we found out that the one of the producers got into some legal issues, apparently was using budgetary stuff for cars, house payments, and there was some type of big financial thing with it. But when you hear about the cast of this movie and realize no one's seen it, it's fucking bonkers.

[Josie Marcelino]

It was like tiptoes. I saw a trailer for a movie called Tiptoes the other day, and I was like, this is star studded.

[Zack Amico]

That's the Matthew McConaughey midget movie. Gary Ohmid, the reason. Midget. Gary Oldman.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right.

[Josie Marcelino]

Blew my mind because he did.

[Zack Amico]

Mitch. Fate, whatever they call it. Short face.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Short face.

[Zack Amico]

I don't know what you would call it.

[Travis Przybylski]

Short face is great.

[Zack Amico]

They do not like it.

[Josie Marcelino]

They do not like just like on his kn.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

They did not like tall people playing midges.

[Travis Przybylski]

That's crazy.

[Zack Amico]

So this home, it stars Donald Faison.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Okay.

[Zack Amico]

Meadow Soprano, Whoopi Goldberg.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Okay.

[Zack Amico]

Joey Fatone. I keep gadget.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

My mother, she says Italians are like diamonds.

[Zack Amico]

We come in all different shades. How you doing?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Life is filled with twists and turns. But Renato's life, when you're feeling so fine and your farts smell like wine.

[Zack Amico]

That's a move.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Is about to take him for one huge loop.

[Zack Amico]

We are your real parents. My parents. It's the truth.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

This is kind of like the. The beginning of the jerk.

[Travis Przybylski]

After 22 years, he just thought he was Sicilian.

[Josie Marcelino]

What's up?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I don't Raised Italian.

[Shannon Maldonado]

You pull off that whole Sinatra singing,

[Josie Marcelino]

dancing thing really well.

[Zack Amico]

Oh, that's because I'm Italian.

[Shannon Maldonado]

Prove it.

[Zack Amico]

Dare I ask what that means? You're standing in dog piss. Oh.

[Shannon Maldonado]

Oh.

[Zack Amico]

Next up, let's play ball. These guys look really good.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

See, we didn't play basketball in my neighborhood. From the creators of Me, myself and Irene stuck on you and the ring.

[Zack Amico]

It's like you're not even trying. Is she just over here? I was raised Italian.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Comes a comedy about changing your life.

[Zack Amico]

This is who I am.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Hold this one second without changing who you are.

[Gas Digital Network Announcer]

All right.

[Zack Amico]

I can see how someone might mistake me for a black. That's my car.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Get in here. Don't, Faison.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Hey, hey.

[Gas Digital Network Announcer]

Let's ketchup. Put that down. That's for white folks. You want this?

[Zack Amico]

Mama's hot sauce. Be careful with that stuff, pops. That'll have you crapping fireballs.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Jamie Lynn Sigler.

[Zack Amico]

Here I come, baby

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Joy Fatone.

[Zack Amico]

Look what my grandmother got. It's an air freshener. Could get that anywhere. It's a scratch and sniff. Air freshener.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

And Whoopi Goldberg.

[Zack Amico]

He's partying now. He's having a good old time.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Homie Spamoni, own the unrated DVD Tuesday.

[MetLife Stadium Commuter]

I know. I'm Black.

[Zack Amico]

I'm just not good at it yet.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Takes practice.

[Zack Amico]

A laughless trailer. A laughless.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's horrible.

[Travis Przybylski]

You tell me you didn't find that fart bit funny.

[Josie Marcelino]

Come on, I want to watch it tonight.

[Zack Amico]

It is an abomination.

[Travis Przybylski]

That's a crazy. The log line on that.

[Josie Marcelino]

What was the elevator pitch like? I need to know. Dude, he's black, but he thinks he's a guinea. I'm telling you, it's going to be great.

[Zack Amico]

That is, by the way, that is Jamie and Sigler hot off Sopranos.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's what I'm saying.

[Zack Amico]

I think that's her first movie post. Sopranos.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

They're both. They're both hot off a major show.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yes, yes. Scrubs.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

He was on Scrubs, right? And she was on Sopranos, and they couldn't make it work.

[Zack Amico]

It is funny that Paul Moody's in a movie about somebody desperately hiding who they are on the inside.

[Rabbi Philip]

They just.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

They were looking for an excuse to have. They were letting white people say the N word more than black people in a movie. So they're like, let's just make a movie about, he's Italian, but he's also an N word. You like that?

[Zack Amico]

It's a terrible pitch. It's that. Yeah, he just doesn't get it. So, like, it's built on a false premise already, right? Where you're like, no, come on. He knows he's black, but he's also

[Anthony Zenhauser]

like, what grown man goes back with their adoptive family family after finding out. Like, you find out you're adopted at 28? I'm like, yeah, well, tough shit. I've been. I've been living here for 28 years. What do you. What do you want?

[Travis Przybylski]

He's got those. He's got those Italian roots, though. You know what I mean?

[Josie Marcelino]

Right.

[Travis Przybylski]

He lives at home till he's 40.

[Josie Marcelino]

Exactly.

[Gas Digital Network Announcer]

Right.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Which is great. But.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, that's why the suicide rate's so low in Italy. You can't jump out of your mother's basement window. But you're telling. Okay, so let's not even say he doesn't know he grew up and nobody said anything.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Bryce. Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

He grew up in an Italian neighborhood, went to school every day, went to work every day, and nobody went.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right.

[Travis Przybylski]

He's just Sicilian.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I thought my. For a long time, I thought my first name was Tetsun.

[Zack Amico]

And it is a. Okay. There is a reveal later in the movie with Joey Fatone. That is funny, but it's a very Farrelly Brothers reveal.

[Josie Marcelino]

Can we just watch that next Time I'm on Spook show.

[Zack Amico]

I've done it, but I did it with Chris a while ago.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I mean, it would make the name. This name of the show make more sense.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah. We couldn't believe it was real. It was so fucking bad.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's crazy. That's why the fact that you watched it. If you watch that trailer, you're not watching that movie.

[Josie Marcelino]

I'm watching that movie.

[Zack Amico]

There is nothing I won't watch because it looks too. I search for modern John Travolta movies. What do you mean, like, movies now?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, like.

[Josie Marcelino]

Like, I saw one that he was in recently that was. No, it was called Savages.

[Travis Przybylski]

Interesting.

[Josie Marcelino]

I love.

[Zack Amico]

That's actually what Homies for Money was called originally. That's the prequel to Homies for Money.

[Travis Przybylski]

Homie Spamoni.

[Josie Marcelino]

How do I do? Oh, hold on.

[Zack Amico]

Go ahead. Whatever you want. So my.

[Josie Marcelino]

I realized I have the real ass podcast ones in here too.

[Zack Amico]

My question is, did they come up with the title Homies Pomoni and go, we can make a movie about this. Or did they write a black guy thinks he's an Italian movie and just sit and fuck it? They're just sitting with a fucking chalkboard. And Chinese would go, we need a title for this.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Let's see. Johnny Eggplant.

[Zack Amico]

That's crazy.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Who Burnt the Lasagna?

[Zack Amico]

All right, we need an Italian name mixed with a black thing. No, don't say that out loud, Zach. It's not Striganonia.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, that had to be named first.

[Zack Amico]

We'll write a movie around it.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, I think so. I think the name popped and they were like, this is brilliant.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

We call it Negroni.

[Josie Marcelino]

I think they probably had other more colorful names, and that was just what they could get past at the.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, yeah. It's about a black guy with sleep empty. It's called Moulin Yawn.

[Travis Przybylski]

This is just indicative of a time period of movies just getting greenlit. Yeah, that would never get green.

[Zack Amico]

Well, yeah, now you can't green light a movie unless Iron Man's in it.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah, right.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

What do you mean? We can't call this movie Cannoli?

[Zack Amico]

The Godfatherless Hood Fellas.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Hood Fellas. Nice.

[Zack Amico]

Hood Fellas should be a movie. By the way.

[Travis Przybylski]

Great. Hood Fellas is great.

[Gas Digital Network Announcer]

Yeah.

[Travis Przybylski]

This would have to have, like, a horror turn for it to be made today. I just don't know what the tw.

[Zack Amico]

He separated the Kool Aid with a razor blade, so it liquefied right in the sugar.

[Travis Przybylski]

I also like that. Like, it's just like Caricatures on both ends. It's like, yes. Oh, and then he's wearing a dashiki at the end.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah.

[Travis Przybylski]

It's like,

[Josie Marcelino]

it's like multiplying by a negative. It's like, then you get a positive.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

We talking about. About money grabbing. Paul Mooney, really? Like, he's doing stuff like that.

[Zack Amico]

Whoopi Goldberg.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Whoopi Goldball will be Goldberg. Sure. But I mean, it's. It's like.

[Zack Amico]

Does she need it, though?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

No.

[Zack Amico]

She's got to be a kajillionaire.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right, but they all need it, right? I mean, if it's not the money, then they need the.

[Josie Marcelino]

Maybe they're all secretly pay pigs attention.

[Zack Amico]

That's very true.

[Travis Przybylski]

I'll be honest, when this came out though, I would have probably been very hyped to watch it. I would have probably at the time,

[Josie Marcelino]

I would have been like this excited to watch it.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, I would have. I would have.

[Josie Marcelino]

Probably gonna prioritize that over, like Forrest Gump and like world renowned films. Like, I'm gonna watch that probably tonight and I still haven't seen Jaws.

[Zack Amico]

You have to. I do. Specifically search out. And I don't know if it's a torture thing or if it's just to see if I can do it. I do try and watch unwatchable things. My wife was so mad that I wouldn't stop watching Jeff Foxworthy's American Bible Challenge.

[Travis Przybylski]

Oh, my God.

[Zack Amico]

Which if you haven't seen Shannon, I was obsessed with this.

[Josie Marcelino]

What is it?

[Zack Amico]

It is a game show where Jeff Foxworthy does Bible trivia. And it's three groups of three. And as the show progresses, they realize to keep people watching, they need to have like, stereotype groups. So it'll be like bikers versus Jews. Okay, well, you know nuns versus tattoo artists, right? Who knows the Bible?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

The two mortal enemies, nuns and tattoo

[Zack Amico]

artists, they're all always like charity groups or churches. So it'll be like bikers for Christ or whatever.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Well, it's like the. That extreme elimination challenge. Remember that show on Spike and it was always like porn stars versus librarians or something.

[Zack Amico]

Shannon, do you have any American Bible Challenge?

[Researcher/Producer]

Yeah, I found there's a couple clips, but this one's pretty funny.

[Zack Amico]

Every Thursday night, watch America's most uplifting game show.

[Researcher/Producer]

The American Bible Challenge was funny.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

How did Nate Bargazi not land that hosting job? That is right up his alley.

[Zack Amico]

Hey, dude, that's really not far off from the show he does now.

[Researcher/Producer]

Here's another one with rockin rabbis.

[Zack Amico]

Perfect.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Rockin.

[Zack Amico]

Watch out. We're the Rockin Rabbis.

[Travis Przybylski]

Hell yeah.

[Zack Amico]

From the great state of New York, a warm welcome for team Rockin Rabbis Jeffrey. From New York City, I'm Jeffrey Abraham. I'm a rabbi.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Now I got a question. Where do y' all keep your horns?

[Rabbi Philip]

And I'm a contestant on the American Bible Challenge. In general, in religion today, there's a lot of unaffiliation. People aren't as interested in religion. So you have to create programming that makes them say, I want to come to your event at your synagogue and become a part of the whole culture of.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah.

[Rabbi Philip]

If people are saying participation in a

[Anthony Zenhauser]

game show, people are thinking one thing. It's, there's not enough Jews around.

[Zack Amico]

This woman on the end is an abomination.

[Rabbi Philip]

Really. It helps to show that I'm here to, you know, I want to have fun. I don't want it to just be, we go to services, I give a sermon, we go home, I do another teaching the next day that we can bring some youthful energy. One of my teammates, Rabbi Philip, he watched the show religiously, no pun intended. And so he called me last year and he said, you know, you've got to watch this show.

[Josie Marcelino]

How often were you watching this show?

[Rabbi Philip]

And so I started.

[Zack Amico]

I was binge watching it for weeks, and my wife hates it so much.

[Josie Marcelino]

You have the most patient wife, I think, that's ever lived.

[Zack Amico]

You know, this isn't that you get into it.

[Josie Marcelino]

Good. I don't think you do.

[Travis Przybylski]

I was gonna ask, what itch does it scratch? You know what? Yeah.

[Josie Marcelino]

Let's get into the psychology behind this.

[Zack Amico]

I like game shows. I like watching Jeopardy. I like watching prices. Right. I like like that. I definitely have an affinity for the blue collar comedy guys.

[Josie Marcelino]

Okay.

[Zack Amico]

And there was something about watching these very genuine people try to win money for charity through Bible knowledge while Jeff Foxworthy's trying to ham fistedly make jokes through it. And plus that it drove my wife nuts. I think.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I think it's a lot.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah.

[Travis Przybylski]

There's definitely enjoyment out of that, I

[Zack Amico]

could say, because some of it's like Bible knowledge, but some of it's like, you saw, it's like, like almost like bargain. Like party games. Like flipping your hand out. Yeah. Flip a fork into a cup. Yeah.

[Travis Przybylski]

What are we doing for the Lord?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Yes, for the Lord Jesus Christ.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Researcher/Producer]

Of course.

[Travis Przybylski]

Our savior.

[Travis Przybylski]

I'm. I'm not familiar.

[Zack Amico]

They're gonna hate me that I keep bringing this up.

[Researcher/Producer]

5ish?

[Zack Amico]

5ish? Excuse me? 5ish? 5ish?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

No.

[Josie Marcelino]

Why does 5ish sound familiar?

[Zack Amico]

5ish? Shannon, I'm so sorry to do this to you.

[Josie Marcelino]

Oh, the $5ish. Oh.

[Travis Przybylski]

Oh God.

[Josie Marcelino]

I did see this.

[Zack Amico]

5ish is the sentient stack of money

[Anthony Zenhauser]

juice one juice chase that is the

[Zack Amico]

mascot for the cars for kids sister charity, the ura. This is where the money for cars for kids actually goes to, which is sending kids on birthright trips and buying real estate in Israel.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Makes sense.

[Travis Przybylski]

I love that it's just a five dollar bill. Like it's not a hundred. It's not a hundred.

[Josie Marcelino]

Don't get crazy.

[Travis Przybylski]

It's just a Lincoln.

[Josie Marcelino]

Roll your hands from high to low

[Zack Amico]

if you were you have to go. So they will try to shoot the with 5ish in Israel.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You're trying to get me canceled off of everything.

[Zack Amico]

And the Jews in Israel chased 5ish down the street because they thought it was an anti Semitic parody or they

[Anthony Zenhauser]

didn't think it was real money or.

[Zack Amico]

Or they just thought he was worth.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, it's an instinct.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

It's a. She can't.

[Zack Amico]

Honey, my dream came true. I told you.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Hey, if you don't try, you'll never know.

[Gas Digital Network Announcer]

Right?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

But it's like. It's like watching black people dance around with a fried chicken. Right? Or something. It's.

[Zack Amico]

The optics would be. Yeah, no, I. Optically, if you're a black.

[Josie Marcelino]

Oh, you mean, like, as a fried chicken mascot. I thought you were talking about, like, an event that we all see in the streets every day.

[Travis Przybylski]

Come on.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Tis the season.

[Zack Amico]

Yes. If you were. So, like, the black people that sell the. The Kool Aid pineapple. Now there's. They're doing, like, Captain Crunch chicken wings alongside, of course.

[Josie Marcelino]

Have you ever had some point.

[Travis Przybylski]

Sounds great.

[Josie Marcelino]

It's really good. I've had it. It's delicious. But they're, like, so good.

[Zack Amico]

It's the berries, so they're like, blue.

[Travis Przybylski]

Oh, I would. I would try it too.

[Josie Marcelino]

It's delicious. Yeah, we all love money fried chicken and Captain Crunch French toast. And both are like.

[Zack Amico]

Oh, both sound excellent.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, that is pretty terrific.

[Zack Amico]

But yes, optically, you would pro. So the same reason I don't like watching fat people eat in public, I get. I was like, come on, they're going to think we all do.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You close your eyes.

[Zack Amico]

I very rarely eat in front of people.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Trust me, I don't want it.

[Zack Amico]

I don't want that smoke.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You're like an elephant graveyard. Does nobody know? Nobody sees you?

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, I do my. I do my eating. Sadly and in secret, I've said this. I was on a bus once, and I watched a fat guy eat a hamburger, and he put it on his belly between bites like an otter. And I've never hated a person. I wanted to be like, dude, you're sending us back 20 years. You're sending us.

[Josie Marcelino]

I will say, there is nothing more liberating than, like, when I got to my fittest, because I used to be, like, morbidly obese, and then I got a six pack. Now I'm in between. But, like, when I had the six pack, my favorite thing, I was like, I just want to eat so disgustingly. And I want to. I want to, like, shovel my face full of food to just blow these people away by what I can put down. And now I'm kind of halfway back to morbidly obese. So there is a downside to that. But like, it is a fun thing when you're like, oh, they don't think that this is like an everyday occurrence.

[Travis Przybylski]

That's. Yeah, I had the exact same trajectory. I was an obese child. Got really shredded, got pretty fat again. I just lost like £40. Don't applaud. GLP1 shout out. But I remember I had like chocolate on my face when I was at my heaviest in my adult life. And like someone pointed it out and I almost jumped off a roof. Like, I was like, that. There's nothing more embarrassing than being a bigger person with food on your face or like eating in public.

[Josie Marcelino]

The thing that inspired me to lose the weight, like the final straw was that I had worked. I was in catering at the time. It was like right after college and I worked a bar mitzvah. But it was like they went all out for this thing. Like, this is. This bar mitzvah was more expensive than my wedding will be one day. And the Popeyes fried chicken sandwich had just come out. So it was like still very elusive. So this kid's final flex was that his parents got 1,000 Popeye chicken sandwiches to give out at the end of the night. But they came kind of late, so a bunch of people had left without it. So they were left with a ton. And they were like, here, the staff can just have these. So I took one regular, one spicy, threw them in my coat pockets. And then a guy that I had kind of been flirting with the whole night was like, you want to go get food? We went and got loaded hot dogs from this place in Baltimore. I got a crabby Mac hot dog. That is a hot dog. Foot long, Mac and cheese and crab on top. Ate that. I had been eating like sneakin bar mitzvah food all night. And then I went home and I sat at the edge of my bed and I ate one Popeye chicken sandwich and then I ate the other. And halfway through eating the other, I looked up, caught my eye in the mirror. I was naked on my bed. And I was like, I think. I think something's gotta give. I think we have to make a change. If I. And then I was like, people in the world see this. People in the world watch me like this. I can't. This is so shameful.

[Zack Amico]

I think you just got yourself a pay pig.

[Josie Marcelino]

My Venmo is at Josie Marcelino.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, I'll read any of those story.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's a story I thought I would have heard from the guy next to you. But this.

[Josie Marcelino]

I used to be a Big lady.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

We're all. I think we're all fats here. Yeah, I mean, I was. I was four. I was 300 pounds. Not two years ago, three years ago during COVID definitely. I was. I was doing nothing but eating.

[Josie Marcelino]

See, that's when I got skinny.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I got skinny during COVID I. I embraced the danger. I was like, yeah. They're like. They're like, if you're fat, you're not gonna live through this. I'm like, I'll show you.

[Travis Przybylski]

I treated it like a vacation. I was just a slob.

[Zack Amico]

I was drinking like it was the end of the world.

[Travis Przybylski]

I wasn't. I wasn't drinking. I was just smoking and eating like a. Like a pay pig or like a pay pig would get paid.

[Zack Amico]

I was. I was just. My wife had to have a talk with me and said, you're in your mid-30s. We can't drink Everclear anymore.

[Josie Marcelino]

Oh, my God.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

See, this is the best.

[Josie Marcelino]

I want to give Mrs. Amiko, like, a flower arrangement or something. She deserves it.

[Zack Amico]

She gets a lot of nice things. She gets gifts. I was very good. She got a very nice gift this week. I got her a stuffed capybara that is scented like lavender. So when you. Like almost like when cat toys have catnip in them, so when you squeeze it, it smells like lavender and it calms you down.

[Josie Marcelino]

That's nice.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Does it?

[Zack Amico]

Yes, it is.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

So you put that on when you're watching that horrible show. Yeah, yeah.

[Zack Amico]

You put it out for her. She rolls around on the floor with it for a few minutes and falls asleep.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

She rubs her face all over.

[Josie Marcelino]

Here's the stress reliever I got you for all of the stress that I've been bringing you.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Well, it's funny because about being fat, since we've all been fat, and maybe currently.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

We will never get out of that fat person that is with you for life, and that will affect every relationship.

[Zack Amico]

Thank God for that. You know how many girls I've hooked up with who halfway through, I realized how fat they used to be?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right? Oh, for sure.

[Zack Amico]

When I see the stretch marks on a skinny girl's arm, I'm like, ah, there's one place you can't lose that weight. It's up here, bitch.

[Travis Przybylski]

I do love clocking people that you are like, oh, you lost £100. Like, I love, like, being able to be like, I see. I see what you're working with. You know what I mean?

[Zack Amico]

There's no person on earth I hate more than a big, fat chick who doesn't fuck fat guys. That's disgusting and mean. And if you're a fat guy and you've had the same rule, you'd be an asshole.

[Rabbi Philip]

Yes.

[Zack Amico]

You'd be a narcissistic piece of shit.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right. It also doesn't happen.

[Josie Marcelino]

When I was my fattest, I only really in shape guys. And then when I got skinny, I was like, black. No.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, wow.

[Josie Marcelino]

Never. But then dad's life when I an Italian. But then, yeah, when I lost weight, I was like, oh, I can enjoy this now. It was like eating a bunch of food in public. I was like, how big.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

How big were you? I was your biggest.

[Josie Marcelino]

I got to 210 and I'm five foot four.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's perfect.

[Josie Marcelino]

It was pretty.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Kidding me?

[Josie Marcelino]

It was pretty large.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

An angel.

[Josie Marcelino]

I was a little large. It was a little large in China.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

No. I bet you had the. Yeah. The butt too. Or no.

[Josie Marcelino]

And you can't tell because I'm in a sports bra, but huge knockers. It was, it was fun.

[Travis Przybylski]

But like me too.

[Josie Marcelino]

No, my knees hurt real bad.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Well, that's why you had a sports bra on.

[Travis Przybylski]

But I used to throw out my back as like a middle schooler tried to jump on like my buddy's trampoline. And the doc, I like literally threw out my back and the doctor was

[Josie Marcelino]

like, come on, these brownies are made because a 400 pound man broke up with me like recently.

[Travis Przybylski]

Oh, you went the opposite way. That's.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah. So like, no, when I. The skinnier I've been, the more I'm like, oh yeah, this is fun. And I think it is. I think it was just like, oh, maybe when I was big, I'm like, were. You can't see me be with a big person, they're gonna know that I'm big.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Were you a feeder? Like those 600 pound life like so spouses. Were you just like feeding him brownies and lasagna all the time?

[Josie Marcelino]

I mean, I just as an Italian, that does kind of come with the territory. Sure you do. Just whip up a lot of brownies and lasagna and feed them to whoever's nearby.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right.

[Josie Marcelino]

But so that does happen. It wasn't like intentional.

[Travis Przybylski]

I wasn't like, yes, consciously.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You're like, maybe let me. I'm gonna keep this guy. So I'm just gonna keep making him fatter so nobody wants him.

[Josie Marcelino]

And then maybe. But clearly that didn't work because he ate all the food and right now he's moved on. So that's.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You gave him confidence that he shouldn't have.

[Josie Marcelino]

I know. I think that's what it is.

[Zack Amico]

He's never.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Listen, it's gonna. Whatever he's doing now, it's gonna happen, end horribly for him, and it's going to be an old, alone fat person.

[Josie Marcelino]

Good.

[Rabbi Philip]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I'm just letting you know, like, that's the thing. Like, like. Like when you hot girls go out with heavy, heavy dudes, it gives us a false sense of security. Like, oh, I can get it. I can grab a 9.

[Josie Marcelino]

See, that did not. So when I was at my heaviest and, like, my heaviest, middle of the summer, so I'm sweaty. I had sex with the most attractive man I've, to this day, ever seen in my life.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Did you enjoy it, though?

[Josie Marcelino]

No, it was off the entire time. And he was good at sex. He was beautiful to look at. But like, yeah, the entire time I'm

[Travis Przybylski]

like, yo, I don't deserve that.

[Josie Marcelino]

Why is he doing this? Like, I couldn't get out of that.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You got Shrek.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah, me too. I was with a hot. No, no, but seriously, really was. Two years ago, I was with a fucking nine. A nine. And she was.

[Travis Przybylski]

I like that. You couldn't just give her a 10?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I can't give her a 10 because that's.

[Travis Przybylski]

That's nine.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

She's a knock.

[Josie Marcelino]

Because it's like,

[Anthony Zenhauser]

oh, you watched my podcast. No, but it's like the whole time I'm thinking, this ain't gonna work. Like, she's gonna. She's with me.

[Josie Marcelino]

Or it's like, this is a prank.

[Travis Przybylski]

It's something I'm getting.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah, I'm getting. We call that punk.

[Zack Amico]

Well, you know, you also choose who you set out to have sex with. And some of us have kept themselves pretty humble over the years.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Despite all your celebrity, it's amazing, you know, you got married way too early. Can you imagine the. The amount of rodeo clown pussy you'd be getting?

[Travis Przybylski]

Right?

[Zack Amico]

I did get married very early. But I will tell you, I was about. I was ready. I was very. I said to a few friends that I thought I was ready because I worked on that troll movie Shakespeare shitstorm, and it was in a strip club, and I was dealing with six or seven girls playing strippers every day, right? And watching them fight over outlets and who got to do what and who got a line. I watched them try and sabotage each other's takes. Oh, my God. So that they would up the line and they would try and get the line. I've watched them literally walk in front of the camera while one of Them's talking to try and ruin the shot.

[Travis Przybylski]

Like in someone's close up.

[Zack Amico]

Oh, yeah, straight up.

[Travis Przybylski]

Straight up. And recognize that's a body.

[Zack Amico]

It's just black. No, a hundred percent. And at the end of it, I was so done. I said to my friend John Brennan, who did the theme song of the show, I was like, I think I'm gonna ask her to marry me as well. I was like, I never want to talk to one of these whores again. It makes sense. I watched the single dumbest and this is a very nice girl, and I feel bad. So there's a scene in the movie where they're bringing all the strippers out. And it's supposed to be a pharmaceutical company having a party. And the girl comes out of a giant pill bottle. So we made a big pill bottle label, a huge that she was supposed to rip through. We only had two of them. So we get to set, we start rehearsals, and we say, hey, we only have two of these. Be very careful. We set up the first rehearsal and this girl puts her high heel right through the thing, tears it in half, crumples it up and throws it on the floor. And me, I start yelling. The art department starts screaming. She freaks out. And she goes, I thought we were doing a take. And the director, because he can't yell at the hot girl right, or she's gonna get mad, he has to yell at the mutants making the movie. What the hell? Why didn't anybody tell her this wasn't a take? You fucked up. You fucked the whole thing up. And now she's upset because you didn't tell her it wasn't a take. And I went, there's no camera in here. The camera wasn't there yet. There was no video camera on the set yet.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right.

[Zack Amico]

And she was confused how it wasn't a take.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

She doesn't know how movies work. That's the problem.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah, it's just mad.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

In all fairness, it's immediate.

[Zack Amico]

That was the kind of things that were happening to me on a daily basis.

[Josie Marcelino]

And you were like, I gotta lock my wife down now.

[Zack Amico]

And I met a girl with a giant ass and a pretty face that never fucked a black guy. And I said, let's get married.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's a crazy story because you think that strippers would be used to ripping through a bottle of pills.

[Zack Amico]

It was a new thing every God damn day with these whores.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah, that's why they're whores. That's why they're not. They're not solving the world's Problems curing cancer and coming up with vaccines is because they. They. They were molested as a kid, and they just got bigger.

[MetLife Stadium Commuter]

So they were.

[Travis Przybylski]

They were real strippers, though, that were brought on to a film set.

[Zack Amico]

They were actresses who I believe also had dabbled at certain points.

[Josie Marcelino]

Gotcha.

[Zack Amico]

In their life.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Who hasn't?

[Zack Amico]

You know, it happens. Yeah, but it was just. And it's. She's a nice girl. I mean, Doug Shedder. But it was so enraging, right? And then you can't. It's so. It's like almost like yelling at a child where you're like, they're not gonna get anything out of this, and I'm not gonna get anything.

[Travis Przybylski]

And it also doesn't bring the. One of the two labels back too,

[Zack Amico]

you know, Such a dumb thing that I don't think I could. I could explain how dumb it was and have it make an impact. And that was a daily. And I was just done, man. I can't anymore.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You know what it is you need when you work with. You need the same kind of handlers like you have for animals. You need those people on set. You know, like, you wouldn't do that with a Bengal tiger. You would have somebody on hand with a sedative and be like, you know, if Destiny isn't doing her job.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You give her a marshmallow.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Give her a marshmallow. She's gonna be out for a few hours, so why don't you guys just set the lights and we'll. We'll work on this.

[Zack Amico]

I have so many.

[Researcher/Producer]

So the.

[Zack Amico]

I have a bunch of old trauma stories that we only found out years later. Doc Annel from Tiger Keg was the animal wrangler on that's crazy. And you could tell because the animals are terrible at it. And it's the funniest thing. I've told the story before, but it really entertains me. I apologize. So please indulge me. This movie. Sergeant Pookie man, nypd. It's exactly what you think. It's a.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Have you seen it?

[Josie Marcelino]

Haven't. But I think I get it.

[Zack Amico]

I'm picking up a cop who is also a Kabuki warrior.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah, well, he didn't start as a Kabuki.

[Zack Amico]

He started as a cop. He was at a kabuki show. The main guy dies, he spit worms in his mouth, and he became sergeant as you do nypd. Basically, what I think was there was a bunch of movies that were superhero friendly, and some people that owned the company at the time had you Know when deaths used to have the clear glass top that I guess would have razor blade marks in it for no reason?

[Researcher/Producer]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Who knows, you know? And I just think they were sitting around and being like, how about he's like Batman but Japanese and a cop

[Anthony Zenhauser]

will make millions and make him a sergeant too.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Nypd.

[Travis Przybylski]

And I got another idea, homie. Spumone.

[Zack Amico]

Yes. And. And in it there is a tiger and a monkey. And the monkey is supposed to be very mischievous and pickpocket people and pull pranks the whole movie. And it was supposed to have a big scene at the end with the tiger.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right.

[Zack Amico]

Now the monkey showed up, it was an asshole to everybody. It would fucking yank on people. Shit. It would fucking hide in the fucking ceiling and it would fuck with this tiger method. Run up, pull the tiger's tail, fucking whack it in the back of the head. And they said every day the tiger just clocked it and just went, mm. And here comes the day they're gonna shoot this monkey and the tiger, the second they let go of the tiger, pins the monkey down, head in its jaws and just holds it there to the ground.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Doesn't bite it.

[Travis Przybylski]

That's restraint.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Wow.

[Zack Amico]

Doesn't kill. It holds. Just let it know, goes. I could have done this every fucking day and twice on Sunday.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's hilarious.

[Zack Amico]

The tiger, they bring the tiger back. The monkey went catatonic. Forgot years of training. So the entire end of the movie, every shot of the monkey is just this. Oh, my God, it's supposed to be doing shit and robbing people. Every shot of the buggy, he just looks like this.

[Travis Przybylski]

Just got the thousand yard stare.

[Gas Digital Network Announcer]

He is gone.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

He figured it out.

[Gas Digital Network Announcer]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

And that was a doc. Anal tiger.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Wow.

[Zack Amico]

Also, the difference between strippers and animals on film is you can't just kill that stripper and bury it and get another three.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right? Well, yes, she's. She's from Philadelphia.

[Travis Przybylski]

She was a hoa.

[Zack Amico]

Sure, you can listen. Yeah. No real people, but yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

The only difference is people might miss that monkey.

[Zack Amico]

All right, let's do one more thing before we get out of here. I thought we could take some bets on this and we're gonna have to watch the whole video. Shannon. We can kind of breeze throw it. Somebody is seeing how bad really is the commute from New York City to MetLife Stadium to try to get to the World cup, which I've heard is a bit of an issue.

[Travis Przybylski]

Listen, as a Jets fan, I'm a diehard jets fan. I've gone to jets games and that commute, as is, is misery.

[Josie Marcelino]

I haven't even gone for a game there, but I've seen concerts at MetLife and it's a fucking nightmare.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah. So I can't even imagine what.

[Zack Amico]

I mean.

[Travis Przybylski]

The price up, right?

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah.

[Travis Przybylski]

Crazy.

[Zack Amico]

The two things I've been reading is a. All the restaurants in the area have been having to put up signs explaining what tipping is fair. Good for them because so many people coming in from your Britain, they don't know what it is. And they have had to put up barricades because of how many people are trying to walk.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

To MetLife Stadium across the highway.

[Travis Przybylski]

Didn't Zo Ron say walk to the games? Wasn't there. I think he was like, you should ride a bike. Bike or walk instead of taking NJ Transit. And we're like, what?

[Josie Marcelino]

How's that worse? 95.

[Travis Przybylski]

Literally, it's. Yeah, it's the swamps of New Jersey. East Rutherford.

[Zack Amico]

What are you gonna. I don't think it's not walkable. Oh, you have to walk across the highway.

[Travis Przybylski]

I used to go to Devil's Games back at Continental Airlines arena, which was also right in the same area.

[Zack Amico]

I grew up in Seacaucus, so I was right there.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, yeah, there you go. And we used to park. Not. Not pay for parking, but there was free parking down the highway that you could park and then like walk the mile to the game. But that's a different time, but you know the area and everyone's doing it. There's like a whole group doing it.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

If you're from, like, Czechoslovakia or whatever.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

And you. And you're coming to this.

[Travis Przybylski]

Walking through the Lincoln Tunnel.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah. Yeah. That's bad. That's bad intel. If our mayor is telling.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, I could do.

[Josie Marcelino]

Shout out to Philadelphia, who made the septa, to and from the game completely free. And it's very easy to navigate those stadiums. I walked there and watched a World cup game the other day. It was beautiful.

[Travis Przybylski]

I did hear they handled it very well. It's been so fun when Philadelphia is

[Anthony Zenhauser]

acting better than New York.

[Josie Marcelino]

Go Birds.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

It's a crazy life because the Knicks winning, I mean, the way New Yorkers have been acting and trashing things, it's just. It makes me just.

[Josie Marcelino]

I will say, as somebody who was outside when the Eagles won the super bowl this most recent time, and like, I've been part of that down in Philly, I was scared when I was here for, like, game three of the Knicks. It was actually like, frightening.

[Travis Przybylski]

We could have taken a page out of Philly's book. We could have greased the polls. You know, I. I was in Midtown after game five, and my girlfriend and I saw people climbing over scaffolding. So they're like four stories up. It's like. It was insane. It was crazy.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah. Before we get into the World cup, like, this lady. Did you see the lady who got caught stealing the trash can?

[Travis Przybylski]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Zack Amico]

She got fired.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, she got. And she got fired from JP Morgan Chase.

[Zack Amico]

Dude. She was a, like, high level person.

[Josie Marcelino]

She.

[Travis Przybylski]

She was like in the DEI department too, which is insane.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Well, obviously that's how she got hired.

[Josie Marcelino]

It was just like, girl, you can't. You can't. What are you doing? That's your job. You just can't.

[Travis Przybylski]

Also, if you have that money, what are you doing?

[Josie Marcelino]

Right? Paint your own trash can.

[Zack Amico]

What a bag of.

[Travis Przybylski]

I mean, this lady is literally just dumping the trash on the sidewalk.

[Zack Amico]

What a bag of human being. But, Shannon, tell us a little. Let's get an idea of how this commute goes.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Is that Chester was those name Chester Cobblepot?

[MetLife Stadium Commuter]

The World Cup's here and everybody's saying, use public transit to get to and from MetLife Stadium. Shouldn't be bad, right? Hey, what could possibly go wrong,

[Anthony Zenhauser]

by the way? Hold on a second. I saw a guy, by the way, in the subway today, coming here. I saw a guy wearing one of those kind of jerseys. He was begging for money. In the subway, he was home. Like, I don't know what. What his deal was. And I'm like, you can't do this here. Like, this is our country. Go back to your own country.

[Josie Marcelino]

I think that's probably one of ours that stole that shirt.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You think so?

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Well, he was very, like, he looked foreign. He didn't look like, I guess so

[Josie Marcelino]

do some of ours that are here.

[Zack Amico]

You never know.

[Josie Marcelino]

It's New York.

[MetLife Stadium Commuter]

Ten minutes. That's standard.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Not that long.

[MetLife Stadium Commuter]

But according to social media and other reports, this is where the trip gets interesting. What were you expecting when you were coming here to Penn Station to get to MetLife Stadium?

[Zack Amico]

When it comes to, like, lines, this looks pretty easy so far.

[Researcher/Producer]

Chaos.

[Zack Amico]

I thought it would be.

[MetLife Stadium Commuter]

We just got to Secaucus Junction. Transfer here to get to MetLife Stadium. We're about 50 minutes into the trip, and I'm not going to lie, it's a lot easier than what I initially thought it was going to be. But we still got to take the train from Secaucus to MetLife, then get in line to get into MetLife Stadium. So I'll stay reserved with my opinions just yet.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I'm going to jump the turnstile.

[Travis Przybylski]

I will say this train, when it does run, is pretty good. It brings you right to MetLife

[Shannon Maldonado]

a

[MetLife Stadium Commuter]

little bit longer than what it would

[Zack Amico]

take to get into a Jets or Giants game. But I thought I would be Orange train.

[Travis Przybylski]

Is he hammered

[Anthony Zenhauser]

like Foster, bro?

[MetLife Stadium Commuter]

All right, we just got off the train. We're here at MetLife Stadium. The official time time is 1 hour 25 minutes. An hour, 25 minutes to get to MetLife Stadium from the studio. Didn't expect it at all in the rain with the Norwegian and Senegalese fans. I thought it was going to take at least 2 hours and 15. We're well below that. 1 hour, 25 minutes to get to MetLife. How long did it take you to get here from the city?

[Zack Amico]

Fast forward a little.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

This is the first time I've seen a chocolate man.

[Researcher/Producer]

There's another like two and a half minutes. But basically going back home, it's like a little bit slower. It's like five more minutes. But he has basically no complaints either way.

[Zack Amico]

Wow, look at that. I thought it was gonna be a nightmare.

[Travis Przybylski]

I did, too.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Our time.

[Josie Marcelino]

I know.

[Travis Przybylski]

Leaving those jets games, it's like waiting for that train to go back to Secaucus. It's just. You're like cattle. You have to wait for like four trains to go.

[Josie Marcelino]

Cuz it's trying to get in and out of that parking lot too though. Hell, and trying to get like just down 95 is awful.

[Travis Przybylski]

That complex is so, so confusing.

[Josie Marcelino]

That's what I. Again, that's what I love about Philly is that like we have all three of our stadiums and our like our two stadiums in our arena right there. Same like complex and there's a million entrances and a million exits.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

It's very easy to get jail cell conveniently located on. In the basement.

[Josie Marcelino]

That's just Philadelphia.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I know, it makes sense we should have more of that over here.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Don't they all have secret jail? I'm sure everywhere has a secret tombs.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

They have like some sort.

[Josie Marcelino]

You guys have the tunnels, the time. Both like the subway and the ones that the Hasidic people were.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[Zack Amico]

You were good.

[Josie Marcelino]

You got both.

[Zack Amico]

No, I think everywhere has secret jails underneath. I'm sure Madison Square Garden does.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Probably.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

A holding cell probably. Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

No, I bet they got a bunch like a real.

[Travis Przybylski]

Philly just has to use it is the thing.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

All right. Well, look at that. That's an easy.

[Josie Marcelino]

Okay, I know you want to wrap up, but I did just read one on here that I'm very interested. Boyfriend dumping strangled girlfriend in the woods, dies while dragging her body.

[Zack Amico]

I mean, it's a very.

[Josie Marcelino]

It sounds straightforward, but I'd like to see it.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, of course, please.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Some modern day Romeo and Juliet.

[Zack Amico]

It's a very. It could be a short film, gift of imagination. The exact story. You know, it is a clear beginning, middle end. The gentleman murders his chick and I believe has a heart attack trying to bury her body.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Boy meets girl, east strangles girl, boy has hard Shannon.

[Zack Amico]

Did I miss anything?

[Researcher/Producer]

No, that's about it.

[Zack Amico]

And where was it?

[Researcher/Producer]

She was a mother of three.

[Zack Amico]

Now we can do that.

[Researcher/Producer]

And I believe it was Alabama.

[Josie Marcelino]

That sounds right.

[Travis Przybylski]

Shocker.

[Researcher/Producer]

Georgia.

[Zack Amico]

Sorry we've made it to the end of the episode. I can be a real bag of. Right?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Did you see this? So you heard about the lady whose kid got shot?

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yes. Yeah, he was like guy who was a. Oh, God, he was like.

[Travis Przybylski]

It was like an Asian man, black kid, and he was like stealing like a water bottle or something like that.

[Zack Amico]

It was a lady stealing diapers.

[Travis Przybylski]

Oh, yeah.

[Zack Amico]

And I guess she said she was trying to drive away. The cops said she was trying to

[Travis Przybylski]

hit the cop car, this one and the kid like, he was like.

[Zack Amico]

And kill the baby.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yes.

[Josie Marcelino]

Okay, I missed that completely.

[Zack Amico]

Of course, both sides are. I think he didn't you know, the. The. The left is saying that she bought the diapers and the cops stopped her for no reason. The right is saying she stole the diapers, tried to run away from the cops, tried to hit the cops and use the held up. They was. She's saying she held the baby up to show the police there was a baby in the car. And other people are saying she was using the baby as a shield fodder. Well, and I hope it's not real. They had a picture of this funeral today.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, my God.

[Zack Amico]

God.

[Rabbi Philip]

Oh.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Did they put the baby in a little sports car coffin?

[Josie Marcelino]

I need to see.

[Zack Amico]

This is crazy. And if this is real, she goes,

[Anthony Zenhauser]

I need this today.

[Josie Marcelino]

I need to see.

[Zack Amico]

I need her. And the father you're having.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Are in a carriage and they have stacks of money in their hand posing.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Oh, wow.

[Zack Amico]

Classic. At the funeral.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

That's it.

[Zack Amico]

And if it's real, I don't know where we go as a society

[Josie Marcelino]

now. You get got a lot by AI.

[Zack Amico]

I do.

[Josie Marcelino]

So it could be AI.

[Zack Amico]

It very well could be.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You can tell what's AI.

[Zack Amico]

But I'm pretty sure it was this lady. She was posing with a bluey doll. And it was like an rip post on Facebook.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

You know, they blewy her son away.

[Zack Amico]

If this was real, this kid's funeral looks like a prom in fucking Georgia.

[Travis Przybylski]

It's like the Charlie Kirk remembrance.

[Zack Amico]

It is, yeah. It is a of unawareness. Shannon, did I. Did anything come up when you searched that?

[Researcher/Producer]

Yeah, I'm just. I'm trying to confirm that it's real. But here, there's some pictures in this article. It seem. It seems like it's real. I wouldn't like bet my life on it, but it does seem like it's real. There's the bluey doll.

[Travis Przybylski]

That's just sad.

[Researcher/Producer]

Here's like part of the carriage with the poster thingy steamed onto the coffin.

[Zack Amico]

Well, yeah, we've been following a lot of black people getting wraps on the coffin.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

This is baby's first funeral.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josie Marcelino]

I didn't know you could wrap a coffin.

[Zack Amico]

Oh, yeah, you can.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

They can wrap it.

[Travis Przybylski]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

See, that was. That's.

[Researcher/Producer]

I just didn't see one with the money, but this is the carrot.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

So is this. Is this. Is this from their payout from.

[Travis Przybylski]

I mean, there's no way that quick.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah, I think there might be a go fund me type situation.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Yeah, it would make more sense.

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah.

[Travis Przybylski]

I mean, if there's money being flaunted, that is pretty crazy. At your own baby's funeral.

[Zack Amico]

Can I ask a dumb question? Maybe. This is very insensitive. Shouldn't baby funerals be pretty low key? Who did they know?

[Josie Marcelino]

I think the younger you are, the bigger.

[Zack Amico]

It isn't like a birthday party. You just invite everybody in the class, right? How many kids is that baby?

[Travis Przybylski]

Everyone gets one. Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

How many kids does that baby know that you have to have a whole thing?

[Josie Marcelino]

No, because it's like, for the first birthday party, it's like. No, that's the mom's party.

[Zack Amico]

Okay.

[Josie Marcelino]

That's an event.

[Zack Amico]

That's her funeral.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

Right?

[Josie Marcelino]

Yeah.

[Zack Amico]

Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, thank you so much. Crazy for two. Yeah.

[Anthony Zenhauser]

As they say.

[Zack Amico]

Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you to my wonderful guests. Please support them in everything they do. And we will be back this Wednesday here on the Morning Zoo. Goodbye.
