Zach Amico
wake up, wake up. That's right, it's time to go. It's Monday morning. It's your other boy, the international superstar Zach Amico. We're coming to you live from New York City at the GAS Digital Studios. And thank you so much for tuning into the Morning Zoo. I'm one lucky duck, because today I am joined by two of my favorite people in the world. Across the table from me, from Notes of a Goon and high society radio, it's our good buddy, Chris Vega. How you doing?
Chris Vega
What's going on, Zach? Thanks for having me.
Zach Amico
Thank you so much for your time today, buddy. And sitting next to him, stalwart of the show, another one of our favorites, Ms. Josie Marcelino. How you doing? Yay.
Josie Marcelino
I can't hear myself at all.
Zach Amico
Can we get her now?
Josie Marcelino
Hello?
Zach Amico
Hello, Josie.
Chris Vega
Everybody in the chat is.
Zach Amico
Are you plugged in? Is your microphone plugged in?
Josie Marcelino
Yes.
Chris Vega
Well, the microphone is plugged in.
Zach Amico
Okay, let's figure this out. Let's figure this out.
Chris Vega
Oh, my God. Shannon, you need to shave.
Zach Amico
Shannon looks like shit, but that's okay.
Chris Vega
We just found out Josie has the worst bucket list on Earth.
Zach Amico
Oh, my Lord.
Chris Vega
Jury.
Josie Marcelino
Dude.
Chris Vega
Who has jury duty on a bucket list?
Josie Marcelino
I want to be part of a trial. I love crime. True crime.
Chris Vega
Just go commit some crimes. Steal things.
Josie Marcelino
No, I want to, like, help the side. So I still can't.
Zach Amico
No, we're still.
Chris Vega
Traffic arms.
Zach Amico
We're waiting on getting Josie on here.
Josie Marcelino
I can hop over.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Be careful not to spill our hot coffees.
Chris Vega
Yeah. I mean, Lewis isn't even here.
Zach Amico
There we go.
Josie Marcelino
How's this?
Zach Amico
Oh, much better. Yeah. So we found that Josie Awful, terrible bucket list.
Josie Marcelino
The bucket list is. I mean, it's. It's miles long. I've got so much I want to do in my life. You're just hearing two aspects so far.
Zach Amico
It's a bucket full of.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah.
Chris Vega
What's something better?
Josie Marcelino
The Festival of Lights in Thailand. That'd be nice.
Chris Vega
Okay.
Zach Amico
That's an okay one. Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
That's not bad.
Zach Amico
I would miss it.
Chris Vega
Yeah, I would.
Zach Amico
Yeah, I would get Mixed up in some.
Chris Vega
You're getting a foot massage from some fucking ladyboy.
Zach Amico
I had a dream last night that I was in the past. Like, I don't know, like, maybe the 60s or the 70s in New York. But I had my wallet from now on, me. And the first thing I did was go get a hooker because I realized I had 100 bucks because the exchange
Chris Vega
rate is so much better.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, so funny.
Chris Vega
But you'd have to have a hunt. An old hundred, I think I was like, if you try to give somebody a blue hundred, they're gonna be like, that's fake.
Zach Amico
I had all twenties in my head. It made sense.
Chris Vega
Okay, That's a dream. You weren't actually back in time.
Zach Amico
No, I was not in fact back in time, but lesson learned, keep old money on you in case you go back in time.
Chris Vega
Just in case.
Zach Amico
Let's get plugs out of the way. Chris, what do you want people to check out?
Chris Vega
When does it come out? Friday.
Zach Amico
Yeah, but it'll be live today.
Chris Vega
Well, yeah, me and K.P. burke will be at Tri State Comedy Club together on the 24th, which is this coming Friday. So if you're listening to this on Friday on your way to work, make sure if you're anywhere near White Plains to come to that. And then check out a show at the Armored League. If you're listening live, July 23rd, this Thursday, we're back at Melrose Ballroom, myself and Mike Harrington on commentary.
Zach Amico
And White Plains is also a great name for the show that you and KP do together. Pretty good, Josie.
Josie Marcelino
I don't have anything immediately coming up, though I probably will at some point, so follow me everywhere. Osie Marcelino. At the end of September, I will be opening for Big J at Magoobies. And then I. It's way far off, but December 3rd, if you're anywhere near Madison, Indiana, I have my first headlining show. And if we sell that out, then I am no longer a liar. So let's do that.
Zach Amico
Well, at least about one thing about that part.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
All right. I'll also go to a war zone. Okay. I'll also go to war. Also, if we sell it out.
Chris Vega
Mogadishu. Also White Plains, Great name for the mirror that's gonna be on this table after the show.
Zach Amico
Hey, if you like the show, go to Gas Digital today. Use my promo code, Zoom. Save some money. Get your episodes early ad free and uncensored, the live chat, the archives, and our bonus Friday episode. So I wanted to start with this video. Everyone that works here at GAS is very Aware that I like to take my little cat naps. I am the bodega cat of Gas Digital. You frequently find me sleeping curled up on the couch. But no one other than Mrs. Amico is more familiar with having to share a room with me, and it is Chris Faga, and he's gone through it. And I finally saw a video of what I think it must be like to sleep next to me. So this is a woman being recorded in her sleep, and I just wanted to get a comparison. If you could bring that up for me with sound and we could play it for our friends here.
Josie Marcelino
It's similar.
Chris Vega
Yeah, it's close.
Zach Amico
It's minus the yelling. Your.
Josie Marcelino
Yours has sleep. Yours has more of a base.
Zach Amico
Okay.
Chris Vega
Also, you occasionally just stop snoring. And literally, that's the scary part. I've woken up from a dead sleep because you've stopped snoring. And I'm like, is he fucking dead? Every fucking time my brain just goes, get up. Check out Zach.
Josie Marcelino
So at home you don't sleep with like a mask? Like, you don't have like a. Why I feel like that make it so much better.
Chris Vega
No, he just fucks his wife with a mask.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Chris Vega
And a girdle.
Zach Amico
Yeah. She insists on wearing it. I don't know why. No, no, I. I don't know. I think we drown each other out.
Josie Marcelino
The guy that I just. But like, I'm saying, your sweet. Yeah, your sleep quality. The guy that I just parted ways with, he had an apnea mask and it was. It was great. And then one night he forgot it and I was like, I think you're suffering. And then the whole next day he was like, yeah, like I'm anxious and I'm lightheaded. And I'm like, yeah, you didn't sleep. You were gasping the whole night.
Zach Amico
Yeah, I probably. That's probably on the. The to do list very soon.
Josie Marcelino
Probably make you just sleep better.
Zach Amico
Yeah, I just feel like I'm up. I. I'm an up and down pisser. And I feel like.
Chris Vega
I'm saying if you sleep soundly, you will piss yourself.
Zach Amico
No, I don't want to fucking take it off and take it on and take it off and take it on. I twist around a lot.
Chris Vega
I think you'll be fine.
Josie Marcelino
I think it's. I think it's less of a hassle than you think to succeed.
Chris Vega
I think you'll be getting such better sleep that. That won't bother you as much.
Zach Amico
Yeah, okay. I. With having a piss because I drink a lot of water. At night. But I have been having a starry zero before I go to bed. And they say the potassium in that keeps you from having a piss all night.
Chris Vega
It lets you absorb the salt.
Zach Amico
Well, it absorbs the water a little more.
Josie Marcelino
How many times you piss in at night?
Zach Amico
Two.
Josie Marcelino
Okay.
Zach Amico
Two, three. Sometimes I drink like I'm at least two. At least a liter or two of water before bed.
Josie Marcelino
Why not just do that earlier?
Zach Amico
Because I like cold water in the middle of the night.
Josie Marcelino
All right.
Zach Amico
Probably because I'm up with my sleep apnea.
Chris Vega
I keep a cold seltzer next to the bed.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Chris Vega
At all times.
Zach Amico
Yeah. I keep a bathing water seltzer.
Chris Vega
I drink a liter of seltzer.
Josie Marcelino
Like a truly.
Chris Vega
No.
Zach Amico
No.
Josie Marcelino
Worried about you?
Chris Vega
No. I keep a live resin pen and a seltzer.
Zach Amico
Yeah. For a while I was doing the carbonated liquid death, and my wife heard me open one in the middle of the night, and she was, are you drinking a beer in your sleep? And I had to show her that it was carbonated water.
Chris Vega
I mean, I might drink a beer in my sleep sometimes, but very, very rarely.
Zach Amico
It happens for the best of us.
Chris Vega
Well, I definitely did that. Like, I went to a bachelor party. And after the bachelor party, I had to. I kept a beer next to the. I did a couple bumps of kids before bed. And then I woke up and I was like, mar, let's just drink some of this beer so I can go back to sleep. And I hit. You know, I always keep the live resin pen. Just do a couple of rips. Cold dabs.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Chris Vega
Put on the sleep mask. I got the Bluetooth in there. Throw on some white noise, go right back to sleep.
Zach Amico
Perfect.
Chris Vega
Wake up at 4.
Zach Amico
Well, I had two stories that are very crucial to us in our relationship, Chris. Very interesting developments in the world.
Chris Vega
Oh, no, you're not going to show that.
Zach Amico
No, no. All right. In the world of drugs, illegal drug peddlers have turned NYC neighborhood into open air prescription pill market.
Chris Vega
I saw that video last night. That's pretty crazy. Where is it?
Zach Amico
Show it to us, boys, because Shannon's out today, so we got G Mike throwing in. Thank you very much, buddy.
Chris Vega
Is it like Roosevelt Avenue? I don't want to go all the way over there.
Zach Amico
Well, let's check it out.
Chris Vega
Well, so far I've seen Vicks, vaporub and Advil, so I don't care about that.
Zach Amico
Do we see.
G Mike
I don't know if there's a video here. Let me see.
Zach Amico
Do we have a neighborhood?
Chris Vega
The New York Post Instagram has A video. Oh, that's not too bad. I'll take the A train up there. We get some a fungo. Be a nice day for us.
Zach Amico
Yeah, it would be a fun day.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Zach Amico
So yeah, this is a. It's about a two block thing and yeah, it's just dick pills, Ritalin, painkillers.
Josie Marcelino
Where's this?
Chris Vega
Washington Heights.
Zach Amico
Yeah, they just set up. Like the fucking guys that used to sell socks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like the sock guys.
Chris Vega
Wait, keep scrolling. I want to see some more pictures.
Zach Amico
They said they it's coming from the Dominican Republic.
Chris Vega
Okay. I mean, I don't really need to.
Josie Marcelino
That's close.
Chris Vega
Get Viagra everywhere now. It's like, not even. I more want like the kind of things, you know, like nine cents a pill. Yeah, it's not bad, but it's the kind of thing where it's like, I don't necessarily want the things that are like fun from this guy. I'm like, hey, like, I just don't want to go to the doctor in case I need antibiotics. If I need antibiotics, I'm sick. Just give me a bottle of those so I can keep them in the house. Dumb shit like that.
Zach Amico
Stand online at Duane.
Chris Vega
Ready?
Zach Amico
Yeah, they can. I don't know how. How does it take so fucking long?
Josie Marcelino
Because nobody has their shit ever.
Zach Amico
Stackers.
Chris Vega
Oh, they got the original stackers. That'd be fun.
Zach Amico
Are Those the. The Y2? The. The. The ones that had the wasp on them?
Chris Vega
No, that was something else. That wasn't Stacker two. So Stacker two was a fat burner that they had to change the formula of because one of the main ingredients became illegal very quickly. It just like sped you up. I remember from like the. It was late 90s. They used to advertise it on like MTV during Real World. And yeah, it was definitely just for like literally that it was the same
Zach Amico
hours, like trim spa.
Chris Vega
But I feel like Save by the Bell became syndicated and the Jesse Spano thing made everybody go, I want those. And then they just started marketing these things to children.
Zach Amico
Are those oxys?
Chris Vega
No, that says amoxicillin on it.
Zach Amico
Oh, damn it. All right, well, the other thing I wanted to bring up was an article and you guys can. You can read it to us on Instagram. G. Mike, I sent it to you. There's a resurgence of something we have discussed many times that we thought we missed out on and it turns out way loads.
Josie Marcelino
That's literally. That's what popped into my head.
Zach Amico
Are being made again.
Josie Marcelino
What?
Chris Vega
You know, people get so mad at the Chinese Communist Party. But I think they're doing good work.
Zach Amico
They're bringing back the hundreds. The fucking wolf of Wall Street. Black. The Black Beauties.
Chris Vega
Oh, my cousin Linda loved those.
Josie Marcelino
What. What did Quaaludes treat? Like, what was their original usage?
Zach Amico
Not being fucked up.
Chris Vega
Yeah. Not wanting to pay for beers at a bar.
Josie Marcelino
Like, medically, like, why'd they go on the market?
Chris Vega
I don't know. They'll put anything on the market.
Josie Marcelino
I don't know. What.
Zach Amico
Tell us about it, boys.
G Mike
Michael. All right. Says here the quiet, curious return of Quaaludes. Decades ago, methaqualone was hailed by the counterculture for its revolutionary potential before being outlawed by the US government and vanishing. Now the drugs making a comeback to our deranged president.
Chris Vega
Present.
Zach Amico
Present.
G Mike
Oh, present.
Zach Amico
And yeah, the producer began. And apparently certain circles are beginning to get them.
Chris Vega
Wait, are guys just pressing them? Like, is it.
Zach Amico
No, I think they're being made officially. Like, they really keep scrolling through that?
Chris Vega
Because I didn't see this. I didn't even know vice still existed. I thought they went out of business. I thought they got bought by Infowars, which got bought by the Onion.
Zach Amico
Well, I saw this today and I was very excited.
Josie Marcelino
Can you keep an article?
Zach Amico
You want me to read it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
G Mike
Says the drug was unexpectedly adopted by the counterculture thanks to its heavenly effects. Even hippies who had previously drawn a moral line between their parents soul. Soul deadening downers and their own consciousness expanding stashes of weed and LSD. By the early 70s, with prescriptions estimated in the millions, Quaaludes had escaped the doctor's office and taken over the dance floor and returned. Referred to as disco biscuits and prized after their loosening inhibitionistless. Buzz. One recipe for potentially catastrophic impairment. Let me keep it on you.
Chris Vega
Yeah. Just.
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah.
G Mike
David Bowie sang about Quaaludes and red wine in his 1973 tune Time Back. Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne used them, Bill Cosby gave them to his victims, and Frank Zappa told of hurting for his sleep in the Quaalude moonlight. Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant, no stranger to intoxicants, has referred to them as poison.
Zach Amico
Hell, yes.
G Mike
But unlike any other drug ever, the clampdown ultimately wiped out the supply, transferring lewds into the disco era relic, the holy grail of pharmaceuticals, with expired batches long forgotten in desk drawers, becoming gold dust. Like Belfort's 1993 discovery of the batch of lemon 714 Quaaludes. For every expired batch that was consumed, lewds faded Further and further into the annals of drug history. Until now, only the past 12 months, Quaaludes have been making an improbable renaissance. The sedative has been popping up in psychonaut circles and drug forums, threatening to unmoor consumers as they scale. Not in this. On a scale not seen since the 70s, so. So, too, have closely related analogs burst into drug markets, including some of purported hundredfold higher strength.
Chris Vega
They are just making these, but whatever. I don't care.
Zach Amico
God, I miss Nate.
Chris Vega
Oh, maybe we just have them.
Zach Amico
Nate would have these on the way.
Chris Vega
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They would already know. He would have brought up this article after he already had them and told us on the air that he had that.
Zach Amico
Yep. And then we all would have missed tomorrow.
Chris Vega
And the show's later.
Zach Amico
Oh, boy. So, hey, if you're a friend of the show and you found out wherever these are going, send a boy a dm. I'm very curious.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Now, obviously, we cannot drink on these.
Chris Vega
Sure.
Zach Amico
We cannot drink on these.
Chris Vega
We could drink a little.
Zach Amico
We have to be very careful.
Chris Vega
Like Michelob Ultras.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Chris Vega
Okay.
Zach Amico
No shots.
Chris Vega
No shots. That's. That would be crazy.
Zach Amico
Yeah. No more Guzzi thoughts.
Josie Marcelino
I'm not ready to lose you two. Please don't drink on Quailin.
Chris Vega
We'll just do the.
Zach Amico
The.
Chris Vega
The grapefruit beer. It's only 3% alcohol.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, my God.
Zach Amico
That's. You know, that's very.
Chris Vega
And it's refreshing.
Zach Amico
Yeah, it is.
Chris Vega
Got vitamin C in it.
Zach Amico
It's citrusy.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
Doesn't grapefruit, like, counteract antibiotics or something? Grapefruit does something. You're not allowed to have grapefruit. And look that up. Why can't you have grapefruit? Certain people can't have grapefruit. I don't know. I think it does something with medication.
Zach Amico
It is my. It is my favorite mixer.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
Grapefruit is disgusting. I like a fresh grapefruit. No, it's the nastiest thing ever.
Chris Vega
I have one of those spoons with the ridges on the side because I'm an old man now and I just eat Grapef sometimes. I hate a happy grapefruit. 42.
G Mike
Yeah, I have the answer here. It says it does the exact opposite. Instead of countering or weakening a medication, grapefruit magnifies it, which can actually cause an overdose.
Josie Marcelino
So don't do that.
Chris Vega
Sounds like we're getting more bang for our buck if we drink these grapefruit beers on Quaaludes.
Zach Amico
Yeah. I think you're saving.
G Mike
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Saving time and money. Here.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Time is money. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris Vega
We're spending money on these Quaaludes.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Chris Vega
We gotta save some time with these grapefruit beers.
Zach Amico
That's my favorite. Vodka tonic with a splash of grapefruit. The Stanhope is my go to drink.
Chris Vega
I love a Grapefruit Collins. Tom Collins with grapefruit juice.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Delicious.
Josie Marcelino
It's the grossest of the fruits.
Zach Amico
No, that was. That was the. The. The.
Chris Vega
No, persimmons.
Josie Marcelino
What the is a persimmon?
Chris Vega
Exactly?
Zach Amico
No, it's durian.
Chris Vega
That's also gross.
Josie Marcelino
I think that's just stinky. Doesn't that taste good?
Chris Vega
Does taste good.
Josie Marcelino
I've not tasted or smelled it.
Chris Vega
They sell them in Bensonhurst.
Zach Amico
That was the opening ground to breakfast at my grandma's house was half a grapefruit with some honey.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Zach Amico
That is the old lady breakfast.
Chris Vega
She was on Quaaludes. She knew what she was doing.
Zach Amico
I wish she wasn't on shit. Yeah. No, no, my thing. No. Nobody's done anything fun.
Josie Marcelino
My grandma's could have used some lewds too. That would have been nice.
Zach Amico
My wife sent me a thing the other day. It was, are you. Are you autistic or German? And everything was exactly the same. It was just. It was one circle.
Chris Vega
That's funny.
Zach Amico

This comforting ice cream flavor was the most purchased in all 50 states in 2025. I thought we could guess.
Chris Vega
Yeah, well, it's obviously not chocolate, because that would be ridiculous.
Josie Marcelino
Comforting.
Zach Amico
Comforting makes me think mint chocolate chip.
Josie Marcelino
I'm gonna go see Comfort to Me is cookie dough.
Zach Amico
That is my favorite.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, yeah, that's like the ultimate.
Chris Vega
I would go cookie dough or like rocky road.
Josie Marcelino
I feel like cookies and cream.
Zach Amico
Okay.
Josie Marcelino
It's probably cookies and cream.
Zach Amico
Okay. I'm gonna go mint chocolate chip. Tell us about it, boys.
G Mike
Says your vanilla was the most purchased ice cream flavor in 2025 according to Instacart data.
Chris Vega
Wait, this from Fox News?
G Mike
No, no, this is new.
Chris Vega
Come on now, come on now. It says Fox. It says via Fox News, Right?
Zach Amico
It was going to be Dulce de Lache.
Chris Vega
Yeah, yeah.
Josie Marcelino
That's also such a basic, like, that's like saying, oh, yeah, like people bought more regular milk than like chocolate or strawberry milk. Like, of course they did. That's your base option.
Chris Vega
Yeah, I agree. I don't understand why that would even matter.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah.
Chris Vega
And also, I think the toppings game is so elevated at the grocery store now.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah.
Chris Vega
You want the, you're buying the toppings, you're buying some sort of magic shell or some sort of peanut butter syrup or the ice.
Josie Marcelino
Or the vanilla is like, oh, we're doing apple pie, we're doing brownies.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
Little scoop of vanilla. It's an addition.
G Mike
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
You wouldn't be like, oh, we're doing brownies and we're also doing a dollop of chocolate. I would think about chocolate chip cookie dough with that.
Chris Vega
Let's think about who's doing Instacart. It's the old, right?
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
Largely fuck you.
Chris Vega
Outside of New York City, it's the. Outside of major cities, it is the elderly that is using Instacart, I guess.
Josie Marcelino
Or the. Or the young and busy or the young and without a car.
Zach Amico
Yeah, the car less.
Chris Vega
Yeah, this is what I'm saying. Most of the country is people with cars.
Josie Marcelino
All right.
Chris Vega
Who just go to the grocery store. They may order the stuff that's like for pick up when they get there, but they go to the grocery store.
Josie Marcelino
Every single time. I do Instacart, I get, I get a guy and guys do not know how to shop for groceries. They always fuck something up. It's a nightmare. It's the worst thing in the world.
Chris Vega
So then why are you just go
Josie Marcelino
to the store with what vehicle you don't live nearest?
Chris Vega
You live in a city.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah.
Chris Vega
There's not a store near your house.
Josie Marcelino
I live in a great area. I do. Sometimes I walk to Trader Joe's, but it's a 40 minute walk. And if I've got like, I can't get a fucking rotisserie chicken and a bunch of shit and then walk back with it.
Chris Vega
Get one of those old lady carts.
Josie Marcelino
I can't do that.
Chris Vega
All right, pussy. You're just gonna keep using Instacart and not liking your groceries?
Josie Marcelino
Yes.
Chris Vega
Sometimes it costs more money.
Josie Marcelino
I know.
Zach Amico
It's frustrating because you'll get someone not great with English.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And they'll just get you something that's in the section of the thing. So, like, one time, my wife.
Chris Vega
It's like, literally when I sent my fucking handicapped brother to the store just to give him something to do. And he'll be like, I got this. And I go, that's not what I asked you for.
Josie Marcelino
Some guy.
Chris Vega
It was right near the other thing.
Josie Marcelino
One of the shoppers told me the whole store was out of apples. All apples. They didn't have a single one.
Zach Amico
I did have a guy in the store. Was out of bread.
Chris Vega
Bread?
Zach Amico
Yeah, bread.
Josie Marcelino
It's like, no, they're not bread.
Zach Amico
And one time my wife ordered. And she ordered pesto, and we got guacamole.
Chris Vega
You put guacamole on pasta? If you really wanted to.
Zach Amico
It wasn't. You know, it's not ideal all the time. Gopuff's pretty solid because you get. They have exact. They have a stock. So it'll be like three left on this thing.
Josie Marcelino
Okay.
Chris Vega
Okay. Yeah. But they have their own locations.
Zach Amico
Yes.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
And the people who work for them are like. They know what they're doing.
Zach Amico
Um, no.
Chris Vega
It's like somebody in the center just puts the bag together and the guys just pick it up for. On the scooter. Instacart is somebody walking into a supermarket they've never been into. Yes.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah.
Chris Vega
And because they're. They finished a UberEats delivery nearby, and they're like, oh, this app pinged. I'll just go get this lady groceries.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Gopuff is pretty good. Like, you get exactly what you wanted. I've had a couple times where I've done, like, a big shopping, and the person's been a real dick about bringing it in, and I have an elevator. But they'll be like, I don't have a cart to bring this up.
Josie Marcelino
That's crazy.
Zach Amico
I'll be like, that's not my issue. One time, the guy went. It was an Indian guy. He goes, please, Sir, I am 65 years old. And I was like, I don't care.
Chris Vega
Yeah. Why are you doing the grocery job?
Zach Amico
One time, it was a hood. The only time I've ever written a Karen email to Gopuff, it was a black guy. Doesn't matter. Kind of does because he made me come all the way downstairs because I had ordered, like, three cases. I've been doing very good on my zero sugar soda.
Chris Vega
Okay.
Zach Amico
And I had, like, three, like, 12 packs. And he goes, I carry this shit on the phone to me, because you got to come down. And I come down and I go, are you help me take it up? And he goes, I'd be better. I best be getting a fat motherfucking tip
Chris Vega
again. Why are you doing the grocery job?
Zach Amico
And I do tip. I tip 25 bucks on a 100 order.
Josie Marcelino
That's a very good tip.
Zach Amico
Yeah, I've been told I over tip
Chris Vega
recently, but, yeah, there's no such thing as over tipping.
Zach Amico
Yeah, I think. I think I'm just generous.
Josie Marcelino
I. I also, as someone who over tips, that is an over tip. Like, because they're. Yeah. It's not like they. They make a base wage.
Zach Amico
Yeah. But if they're carrying all that.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, no, it's generous and it's good and it's. You should. But, yeah, that's an over tip.
Chris Vega
He's. He's tipping extra for to hopefully.
Josie Marcelino
I know you're a bar.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Like, yeah, you're not wrong.
Chris Vega
Yeah. I know why Zach is tipping. I bet the Leone's guys gets more than 25%.
Zach Amico
Leonie's does very well.
Josie Marcelino
I don't know what.
Chris Vega
Leonie's Giant Hero Shop?
Zach Amico
Yeah, Leonie's does very well. By me.
Josie Marcelino
Okay, well, I've had an aversion to. I don't know what it is, but, like, lately I've, like, only wanted very, very specific things, and none of them are fudgeing from the grocery store. I've, like, only wanted Starbucks for, like, the last several months. And I'm like, I can't. I'm, like, getting acid reflux because I'm like, I can't consume this much. It's awful. I know. I feel like shit, but I don't know what it is.
Chris Vega
Like, weirdly, your brain is telling you that you want to be a fatso.
Josie Marcelino
I don't want to, though.
Zach Amico
Mine's been lemon. Italian ice. I think it's just the heat.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Zach Amico
I got a frozen lemonade the other day from Annie Ann's.
Josie Marcelino
I didn't know they did frozen.
Zach Amico
Oh, boy.
Josie Marcelino
I love their lemonade. I didn't know they did frozen.
Zach Amico
Oh, boy. Real summer treat I gotta keep myself away from. Okay, well, we've come to it. Oh, not Josie's thing yet.
Josie Marcelino
Okay, thank God.
Zach Amico
But our favorite segment here on the show butts. Indians versus
Chris Vega
Hygiene. Is it always hygiene? They lose.
Zach Amico
And now it started as just Indians versus trains. And I'll tell you what the.
Josie Marcelino
Does that mean?
Chris Vega
Do you not know?
Josie Marcelino
I mean, is it just Indian guys committing suicide by the train?
Chris Vega
You ever see the videos of them just hanging off the trains because they fill them too much and then they fall off every time they get to a tunnel?
Josie Marcelino
No. That's horrific.
Zach Amico
So it started as I was getting a lot of videos in my feed of Indian guys either getting hit by trains or hanging out of trains and getting headed into polls.
Chris Vega
It's better than the unconsensual trains they run on the train.
Zach Amico
Yes. Well, I think they're there, last in line and they get picked off. And now it's just become Indians versus Okay. And what I've gathered, they call those
Chris Vega
train videos Eat, Pray, Shovel,
Zach Amico
Jeep, Pray, Love. Because apparently the safety regulations in India are subpar.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And subpar is the guy's name. And who's in charge of safety over there and where here in America, we would have, like, eight different barricades and giant signs and gates to keep you from walking across that train track. It's just open air. Okay, so this is the new edition of Indians versus. Don't we. Don't we have a intro for that?
Chris Vega
You know, Shannon goes to jury duty once.
G Mike
Indians versus.
Zach Amico
And our first video, Indian versus Train Surfing.
Josie Marcelino
Is this snuff?
Chris Vega
No, they're not videos of you. Oh, I gotta see that again.
Josie Marcelino
Oh,
Chris Vega
By the way, if the. If the wire didn't get him, the bridge was gonna get him.
Zach Amico
Yep.
Chris Vega
He was just not looking ahead of him. On While Train Surfing.
G Mike
That's ridiculous.
Zach Amico
Have you ever seen the videos when people make, like, homemade mousetraps and you watch, like, two mice go in and then mice watch them.
Chris Vega
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And go. Well, that's not going to happen to me. That's what all these videos are really. This is now there's more. Oh, we've got five.
Chris Vega
Nice.
Josie Marcelino
Are they all like that?
Chris Vega
Sometimes the Indians win, dude. They are last stand.
Zach Amico
This is Indians versus Electricity.
Josie Marcelino
I don't. Is it all.
Chris Vega
The last one was kind of against it.
Josie Marcelino
I don't think I can watch these.
Chris Vega
I like that he's upside down. Okay. Seems like he's doing all right.
Zach Amico
He's on fire.
Chris Vega
Is he?
Zach Amico
Oh, yeah. Look at that.
Chris Vega
Why doesn't he just let go then?
Zach Amico
I don't think he can.
Chris Vega
You think he's welded to that?
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
Okay, I did not look at that. Was he. What?
Chris Vega
Was he welded to that. Let's go back.
Zach Amico
See that again?
Josie Marcelino
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Look at his leg. Dude, he's on fire.
Chris Vega
No, it seems like he catches fire.
Zach Amico
There's a fire right now.
Chris Vega
Oh, yeah, he's soldered to that.
Zach Amico
Brutal.
Chris Vega
Well, I thought he was just doing a fun upside down dance and then he was gonna fall into that wiring.
Josie Marcelino
12:30 in the afternoon. What are we doing?
Chris Vega
And you don't want us to do Quaaludes?
Josie Marcelino
Actually, that might be a better situation, Josie.
Zach Amico
I agree with you.
Josie Marcelino
We just watching people die and get mauled. It's not even one yet. The sun's out. It's like a nice day.
Zach Amico
It's one o' clock somewhere. Indians versus firecracker.
Josie Marcelino
It's 10:00am on the west coast.
Zach Amico
Oh, no.
Chris Vega
First of all, using a match is just ridiculous for firecrackers. Lit cigarette or lighter or get the out. Oh, oh, they're going to go closer to it again. Oh, is that. Oh, it's a blockbuster.
Zach Amico
Oh.
Chris Vega
Oh, that must have been at least an M80, right?
Zach Amico
Oh, well, we'll watch it again. It was a much bigger M80.
Chris Vega
The Pirates favorite Firecracker. Run away. Jesus. Yeah, that's not what. By the way, that's not what a blockbuster looks like. You never see like a giant flame come out of.
Zach Amico
No, but that's what guys who look like blockbuster look like. Work in a blockbuster. Blockbuster. That Josie's too young for that joke.
Josie Marcelino
I went to Blockbuster.
Zach Amico
Well, luckily we're almost done. Indian versus electricity too.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, my gosh.
Zach Amico
There's three of these are Indian versus electricity.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, the first one was also Indian versus electricity.
Chris Vega
Oh, is he. It looks like he's jerking off while on fire. Very hot. Check it out.
Josie Marcelino
I'm not looking at this.
Chris Vega
Oh, What was he trying to do? Get free electricity?
Zach Amico
Find out. Let's watch it again.
Josie Marcelino
It's crazy because I watch stuff.
Zach Amico
He does look like he's jerking off of there, by the way.
Chris Vega
Yeah, yeah, he does look like. They don't have. They don't have shock paddles there. And he's just got one of those taser fetishes. He likes to get domed by this hardwood.
Josie Marcelino
It's insane because I watch shows on Gas Digital and I think something that I hear often on this network is people being like, oh, you know, we all grew up watching videos of people getting murdered or like killing themselves or like these.
Chris Vega
Not only that, we had to rent them.
Zach Amico
Yeah, we had a trade.
Josie Marcelino
I never watched that. I don't know what Internet.
Zach Amico
You guys are stupid.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, I don't I mean, I guess, but that's. I don't think my brother. I got. I'll text my brother and be like, did you watch people just die?
Chris Vega
Text him right now. How old is your brother?
Josie Marcelino
He is 28.
Zach Amico
No.
Josie Marcelino
What do you mean, no?
Chris Vega
Kids are soft.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Chris Vega
Sex. An older cousin.
Josie Marcelino
I don't have an older boy cousin. Yeah, I do, but I don't talk to him.
Zach Amico
Hey, gentleman in the booth, can I please have one of the cough drops that's in my. My fanny pack in the. The lobby, please?
Chris Vega
I can't believe there's people who didn't just watch videos that people don't. They got a lot of that off
Zach Amico
the Internet by the time I used to have to.
Chris Vega
Yeah. The amount of beheading videos go.
Josie Marcelino
Never seen any one of them. That's awful.
Zach Amico
To a Radisson with other creeps and some guy, a bald man with a ponytail. I mean, always would sell me a clamshell VHS of just these.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, that's not the average American's experience.
Chris Vega
Yes, it is. No males our age.
Zach Amico
I was a 12.
Josie Marcelino
Go find somebody on the street. They're not gonna say that.
Chris Vega
G. Mike, help me out.
Josie Marcelino
How old you're 34, 38. Oh, okay. And then you're 42. 2. I could go find people within that age range and be like, hey, did you.
Zach Amico
Mike, how old are you?
G Mike
My Mic's up. I'm 36.
Zach Amico
And did you watch snuff videos growing up?
G Mike
Yeah, they had, like, Faces of Death. I'm a boy, though.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
I'm saying that. The Gas Digital crew.
Chris Vega
Who do you think we were watching them with? Those people don't now work at Gas Digital.
Josie Marcelino
I think we go to high school together. Similar breed.
Chris Vega
We don't go to Gas Digital high school.
Josie Marcelino
I don't think it's normal.
Zach Amico
I was gonna say, my friends, I watch those with. One is a chef at Disney. One is a substitute, to be fair.
Chris Vega
Equally morbid.
Zach Amico
Yeah. One is a substitute teacher, one sells snowboards, and one is a crazy guy that lives in the woods.
Chris Vega
I can't think of anybody I knew growing up that never saw any of those, like, hood dudes would watch them.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Chris Vega
They call you pussy for not having seen Faces of Death.
Josie Marcelino
I think that video of the first one, I think that Indian guy getting electrocuted. Probably the first time I've seen a video of somebody dying.
Chris Vega
I bet Nai Naim has seen Faces of Death.
Josie Marcelino
Naim is from Philadelphia. He's seen Faces of Death, like, just growing up in his neighborhood. Yeah. He grew up in North Philly in all things.
Zach Amico
For them it's called phases of death.
Chris Vega
That's true.
Zach Amico
We have one.
Josie Marcelino
Last of death is the T shirts that they all wear to the funeral.
Chris Vega
Why does it say free my guy,
Zach Amico
we'll free him from heaven.
Josie Marcelino
I am my brother's keeper.

I can't remember what this one was. Indian versus reality check. Oh, this isn't a death video, so don't worry.
Josie Marcelino
Okay?
Zach Amico
This is a man at an airport who I believe now the video claims he was trying to and I don't know how true this is. Pull cast privileges and was very upset with people he felt were beneath him were given service wanted cast privileges.
Chris Vega
He should have requested a wheelchair at the airport.
Zach Amico
Yep. Woman with a dick. Woman with a dick. What's happened to your police?
Chris Vega
Where are your. I didn't realize they translated your shows into India.
Zach Amico
If he hits the fucking attack on the son of a. I feel like
Chris Vega
I'm watching an episode of my guy.
Zach Amico
Pause.
Josie Marcelino
That's Pujan Punjabi. Jay Gomez.
Zach Amico
Louis Jeet Gomez. Get the out of me now. This guy to away who stole Jacob get the away.
G Mike
You.
Zach Amico
You. Be a good song.
Chris Vega
Yeah. Can we remix that? Can you throw that into any one of the AIs? It'll make us a song.
Zach Amico
We got to get through it first. You think any police officer will dare touch me? You think?
Josie Marcelino
Entertain me.
Zach Amico
If he hits some kind of tackle.
Josie Marcelino
Son of a.
Zach Amico
Go for it.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, I would.
Zach Amico
I'd like you to take the feet. I'll take the talk.
Chris Vega
Talking to a woman. Whoever's filming this is talking to his wife, please.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, awesome.
Zach Amico
I have United Airlines CEO has reserved
Josie Marcelino
a business class ticket for.
Chris Vega
Not.
Zach Amico
No, no, no. I'm not having to sleep. I don't care.
Chris Vega
I don't listen to you.
Zach Amico
Get the. Away from me.
Chris Vega
He's not going in. All right.
Zach Amico
Not going anywhere.
Chris Vega
He didn't resist at all.
Zach Amico
Oh, wait.
Chris Vega
I'm telling you, man, you lay your hands on me, you're going to regret it.
Josie Marcelino
Okay.
Zach Amico
Oh, yeah, There we go.
Chris Vega
That way. That's a pretty good haymaker.
Josie Marcelino
That's awesome.
Chris Vega
By the way, the guy filming who said he was going to do something just kept filming.
Zach Amico
Oh, 100. I mean, they had enough people.
Chris Vega
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
That guy got it rough that.
Josie Marcelino
It was so good.
Zach Amico
Airport jail.
Josie Marcelino
I do think that. I think that maybe the whole cast system thing is not like. I think that's just added in.
Zach Amico
Yeah. I don't think it's part of it.
Chris Vega
I think that guy was just wiling out at the airport.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, Yeah. I think, if I'm not mistaken, and I might be, but I think caste system, that it's almost more like a. Like a not racial, but like sort of like it's a specifically Indian thing.
Chris Vega
Shades.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah. And so it's like, it's not like
Chris Vega
if those were white people, they would be a higher cast than him.
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris Vega
If you base it on.
Josie Marcelino
I think that was just probably like a rich, privileged douche having an airport freak out. Yeah.
Zach Amico
When he went, the CEO of United Airlines has promised me a business class ticket. I went, oh, he's nuts.
Chris Vega
You might just be hammered.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Oh, yeah.
Josie Marcelino
That's usually what it is.
G Mike
You just.
Josie Marcelino
You have a couple pops and you. You throw a couple of. Couple of zannies in there and then you shake that up, you get that
Chris Vega
that could be like an Ambien that he thought wasn't going to hit until he was sitting.
Josie Marcelino
Or he could be having what I had when I had my airport freak out. He could just be having, like, some brain damage.
Zach Amico
Actually got electrocuted.
Chris Vega
An airport freak out.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah. When I had my When I had my brain injury, before we knew what was happening, that was like. The first sign of it was I was in Heathrow Airport and I was losing my shit. And I was. I was calling everybody, like, faggots and pussies, and I was a night. It was bad. It was bad, so.
Zach Amico
And I like family running by, going, we forgot Kevin. I. I have a family member who also had an airport meltdown who my family does not speak about, so.
Chris Vega
Really? Yeah, well, you're speaking about it. You may as well tell the story.
Zach Amico
My uncle is schizophrenic.
Chris Vega
Uncle Ted.
Zach Amico
And he. I apparently, was found at an airport.
Chris Vega
I apparently. He said, I know what side it's on.
Zach Amico
No, no. Really? No, German side.
Chris Vega
Really?
Zach Amico
And was down in the airport screaming that the Mafia was after him.
G Mike
Really?
Zach Amico
Yep, yep, yep. Then we didn't see Uncle Rich much more than that. After that, he was also.
Chris Vega
It was true.
Zach Amico
No, no, no, not necessarily. He just wasn't allowed around me much.
Chris Vega
Oh, I gotcha. Because he was just crazy.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
The Mafia wants me to molest this boy. That's how they stop being after me.
Chris Vega
Well, they're grossed out by gay stuff. They don't want to touch you.
Josie Marcelino
This is Mafia repellent.
Zach Amico
It's like garlic.
Chris Vega
For a great way to not get taken in by goons is just come on your own face.
Zach Amico
Yeah, My. My German side of my family, once something is upsetting, they kind of. There's no trauma dumping at Holly. Like, yeah, my wife's family are Irish. Halfway into any dinner where everybody's talking shit.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, really? See, that's kind of normal for Irish.
Chris Vega
My Irish family, it's usually just the women.
Zach Amico
Well, it's mostly women.
Chris Vega
Okay.
Josie Marcelino
Are they tuned up when it happens? Because that's the only time I've ever seen them. Really?
Zach Amico
No, no.
Chris Vega
I mean, secretly, some of them.
Zach Amico
Maybe
Josie Marcelino
all the Irish broads in my family, it's like they. They. We don't. Nobody on the Irish side talks about anything. And then they get. They start tuning up, and then it lets out.
Zach Amico
Yeah, now that could be dead show in the middle of dinner. And then, you know, just some. Some details come out.
Chris Vega
I was at an Irish wake at a bar, and I didn't really know the family was like, friend, you know? And then this one cousin just didn't get a song on the playlist, flipped out, said a bunch of stuff I didn't understand, walked out, and I looked at my boy whose uncle had just died, and I went, that's the real Irish. Goodbye. Screaming at Your family about something nobody understands and just leave. And storming out.
Zach Amico
Oh, my God, dude. When we pulled up, my wife had a cousin who passed, and the wake was at a VFW in Marine Park.
Chris Vega
I know that vfw.
Josie Marcelino
If you could pick where your wake was gonna be.
Zach Amico
Not a VFW in Marine Park, I'll tell you that.
Chris Vega
Now there's a budget in my will for an open bar.
Josie Marcelino
If, God forbid, I die untimely, I would like you to have my wake at the Rainforest Cafe.
Zach Amico
I think that's fair. Sure.
Josie Marcelino
I would like that. There's one in Atlantic City still. That would be nice.
Chris Vega
Is there not still one by the Natural history museum in D.C. no. Here.
Josie Marcelino
I didn't know we had a Natural History Museum up here. I don't know. I live in Philly. I don't live up here.
Chris Vega
Yeah, take acid and go through the fucking aquarium.
Josie Marcelino
I don't want to do. One time I got high at the aquarium. I took the only time I've ever willingly taken an edible. I did it at the aquarium.
Chris Vega
Smart.
Josie Marcelino
It was not a ton of THC. It was literally 10 milligrams. I saw. God.
Zach Amico
Yeah, that'll do you. If you don't do them, though.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, my God. It was. It was. That's the most afraid I've ever been in my life. But before I got to that point, because I didn't get afraid until we went to get hot dogs. Afterwards, I freaked out at the hot dog place. But in the aquarium, it was still awesome because it was still climbing up. There was a fish.
Chris Vega
No. Water is calming. She stayed in the aquarium.
Josie Marcelino
I love the aquarium. Air condition. I'm a member. I don't even live in Baltimore anymore. I am still a member of the Baltimore Aquarium. It's my favorite place.
Zach Amico
Great penguin exhibit.
Chris Vega
It's so good.
Josie Marcelino
It's penguins and puffins, but you can't
Chris Vega
be too high to enjoy a penguin.
Josie Marcelino
There's. They have. There was a section of pikes, like, long nose pikes. And I. For some reason.
Zach Amico
No, no, no, no.
Chris Vega
I think you have a speech impediment.
Josie Marcelino
Shut up. Shut up.
Chris Vega
Those. Those are right near Marine park. Also.
Josie Marcelino
No. I was dating one at the time. But no, it was. They had a section along those pikes. And for whatever reason, I got in my brain that they look like rigatonis. And I've never laughed that hard in my life. Still to this day, that's my favorite. I wish that I could feel the joy that I felt looking at the
Zach Amico
rigatoni fish when we pulled up to the. The. The. The. The. What do you call the thing after the. The funeral? The. The reception, whatever.
Chris Vega
I don't know, Dinner, whatever.
Zach Amico
It was at a vfw. It was sandwiches at a vfw.
Chris Vega
Okay. And that's a dinner.
Zach Amico
It's never good when there's people that are at the dinner that didn't come to the funeral.
Josie Marcelino
Yes, that rules.
Zach Amico
And especially we do. We pulled up and my wife's aunt is like so sweet. Like, she's definitely who my wife is gonna be as an old lady. Super sweet, little scatterbrained. And she. She sees her one of the other aunts, and she goes, she has a problem. And we're like, yeah. She's like, yeah, this is gonna be an issue. This lady was tuned up. We got in and somebody had just had a baby and she shoved this baby at everyone's face to say that she had eyes like the girl who just passed away.
Chris Vega
Oh, I think you've told me the story, which is so creepy.
Zach Amico
Hammered.
Chris Vega
Every time you tell me the story, I think about that scene in fucking Adam's Family values.
Zach Amico
Yes. Well, it's Rosemary's baby. He has his father's eyes.
Chris Vega
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
She's going, didn't she have Aaron's eyes? It's like, release someone and God replaces them. Hammered.
Chris Vega
By the way, my cousin who passed away not long ago, if she was at her own wake, she would have been picking up her own baby and doing it. Also, one of my uncles tried to fight another one of my uncles at that VFW hall on like my grandmother's 80th birthday or something.
Zach Amico
Yep. Man, I wish you'd. If you had seen. Have you ever been to a funeral where somebody got the hook? Speaking.
Chris Vega
Oh, no.
Josie Marcelino
Yes. Geez.
Zach Amico
Go.
Josie Marcelino
Mine's not as interesting as my lesbian cousin decided to drink and try her first.
Chris Vega
To be fair, the hook is the only way that when that starts vibrant, it's the only thing that makes you squirt.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
My lesbian cousin tried stand up for the first time and got the hook at a funeral. Yeah, it was bad. It was poorly timed.
Zach Amico
At my dearly departed friend Doug's funeral.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, you told me one of his
Zach Amico
exes went up and she's a very sweet girl who I like a lot of. She definitely self medicated to get through it and in front of his family. And very young nieces and nephews talked about their S M relationship and how she was a dominatrix and all the stuff they used to do.
Chris Vega
Well, that's not good.
Zach Amico
And then that's for after the dinner. A certain person who you're aware of went up. Oh, who loves werewolves?
Chris Vega
Oh, no.
Zach Amico
Took it upon himself to speak at the funeral. You've heard me mention this before. If you're a fan of the show. I have a. I have an affair. I have a friend who is a middle aged gentleman who loves heavy metal and werewolves and kind of thinks he's a werewolf. Kind of thinks he's a werewolf and loves to talk about porn.
Chris Vega
Seems like he would love trains.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Chris Vega
Really into, but not like Indians do.
Zach Amico
Carries a Walkman.
Josie Marcelino
Is he the. Is it the same one that posts himself nude on Facebook?
Zach Amico
Mm.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, you told me about this. I think that's great.
Zach Amico
He spoke and got applause on his first line and then really decided to milk it.
Chris Vega
Oh, no. And he started doing this. Yeah, he got on the top rope.
Zach Amico
He goes. He. You know, Doug, such a. He. He was such a big fan of mine. Oh, no, he a big fan of my artwork and everything I do.
Chris Vega
Yeah, he's a real auteur stick.
Zach Amico
He. He just, you know, he always thought I was so talented. It was great. And all I wanted to do was text the guy in the coffin. Yeah, you've got to fucking see this dude
Josie Marcelino
so much.
Zach Amico
This lovely man.
Josie Marcelino
That's the best way to eulogize.
Zach Amico
Walked into the funeral, went up to the casket, kneeled, looked around for his seat. And you know how the front row has the comfy chairs for the family.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, awesome.
Chris Vega
He sat there dead center.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, thank God.
Zach Amico
Dead center on one of the couches with the dead guy's mom and sisters sick because they had the nicest chairs. And then stood up as the funeral was over in the receiving line. The end of the receiving line. So everyone hugged the. Bob hugged the sisters, and then he stood at the end of the line shaking everyone's hand like he was part of the family.
Josie Marcelino
That's awesome.
Zach Amico
And oh boy.
Chris Vega
Why did nobody say anything? Why didn't you say anything? Because it was too funny.
Zach Amico
Because we were busy trying not to laugh hysterically.
Josie Marcelino
No, that's the perfect way in front
Zach Amico
of my dead friend's family.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, that's the perfect way to honor
Zach Amico
already having a rough time with the people that showed up and how they were behaving. Meaning, you know, we were good.
Chris Vega
Okay.
Zach Amico
So we did not get hammered until after the casket was taken away.
Chris Vega
Okay.
Zach Amico
Then we went and got shit hammered and had a barbecue while his friends dragged his bus via hooks in their arms and backs. We didn't show up to that part.
Chris Vega
Okay.
Zach Amico
And then the last person went who decided to do a tight 20.
Chris Vega
And they take the engine out of the bus before they dragged it. They were dragging a full size bus with all. With the whole bar in it.
Zach Amico
Yeah. And it was a gentleman who we. We refer to as scumbag. His real name. So Scumbag name. I don't want to say his name. Who was a drug dealer who got up completely hammered and starts telling the family about all the times they banged porn stars and did lines in bathrooms and, you know, hooker stories. And then talked about himself for 10 minutes, forgot where he was. And then the body. The person whose funeral was sister had to go. Well, it wouldn't be a dug party until we had to tell somebody they had to go home.
Josie Marcelino
That's awesome.
Chris Vega
If I should die.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, you will.
Chris Vega
I'm saying, you know, in a timely fashion. Please keep an eye out for that at my wake.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
I'm inviting Joanna angel and I'm gonna have her piss all over your wake.
Chris Vega
That's fine.
Zach Amico
That's great.
Chris Vega
That's a show.
Josie Marcelino
No, that's exact. Because that's. But I don't want anybody with you.
Chris Vega
I don't want anybody to talk about that.
Zach Amico
Okay.
Chris Vega
Yeah, but if she just comes in and says, this is what Chris would have wanted.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Chris Vega
Squirts all over my coffin, it's gonna be awesome. I'd be dead.
Josie Marcelino
It's not even like when you. Chris in an airplane. That's great.
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris Vega
I'll get. I'll certainly get through the River Styx that way.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Josie Marcelino
Do you want to see the edible fish? I pulled him up.
Zach Amico
Yes, please.
Josie Marcelino
Look at him. I don't think he looks like a rigatoni sober, but when I was.
Chris Vega
He doesn't look like a rigatoni at all.
Josie Marcelino
He looks more like a penny if anything.
Zach Amico
Nothing like a rigaton.
Josie Marcelino
I know, but when I was. When I was. He just. I love him so much. I hope that fish is doing. It was six years ago, so he's probably not. But.
Zach Amico
So we have a final thing to do today.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, God.
Zach Amico
And this was by Josie's volunteering because we watched. We were talking about a video of Josie where she said she may and listen, I'm not going to trash you.
Josie Marcelino
No, you please do. Because it's a nightmare.
Zach Amico
We are all guilty in some way of code switching from time to time.
Josie Marcelino
This is more than that.
Chris Vega
Doing it right now. You haven't heard me use actually the N word once.
Josie Marcelino
Yes.
Chris Vega
YouTube code switching.
Zach Amico
Yes.
Josie Marcelino
I get so. People give me shit online for the.
Zach Amico
I spell the N word up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, Abab.
Josie Marcelino
People give me shit for changing my voice, like, because I'll kind of float in and out of some accents. And I think it's. It's like I mimic people when I talk to them sometimes. This was. Not that. I don't know. This was a cadence that I.
Zach Amico
So Josie at times. And again, I'm not tragic. I trash.
Josie Marcelino
I had to walk.
Zach Amico
Josie's been around a lot of the Philly guys because she'll start using John.
Chris Vega
Well, I. Look, I've been shitting on. I was at a. Last week, I was at a mostly black wedding in the Caribbean. My friend is Trinidadian descent, but he's from Brooklyn. And I noticed he was raised very properly by his parents, does not have an accent.
Zach Amico
And I say Trinidadian. Trinomami.
Chris Vega
Yeah, exactly. I literally said to all the white people were there, watch for decode. Switching to Caribbean. He's not good at it, and it's hilarious. He was, like, dropping prepositions. It was fucking. I was like, dude, this is. You don't talk like this. What are you fucking doing?
Josie Marcelino
Like, well, so that. So when I talked like this, I was still living in Carroll County, Maryland.
Zach Amico
So these are all. There's no black people out there of Josie.
Chris Vega
Oh, is this gonna be like havoc.
Zach Amico
Where she had a different way of speaking. And I thought. And Josie was nice enough to bring these in for the show.
Josie Marcelino
So it's effect. What I told G. Mike is the first one is not crazy bad. And then the other two.
Chris Vega
Can we get fucking egregious before we start this video? Can we just go get Josie some black lip liner? Maybe some hoops, bigger hoops with her name in them.
Josie Marcelino
I was going through my Snapchat name
Zach Amico
across your Titan script real quick.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, I was going through my Snapchat to find these last night, and I. After I found them, I had to go for a walk.
Zach Amico
So let's. Let's watch the first one.
Josie Marcelino
The first one's not so bad.
Chris Vega
I really hope you.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, this one? No, this one's bad.
Zach Amico
Now, which is that. Which is the one you want to do?
Josie Marcelino
The one in daylight is the least bad. And then it builds up.
Chris Vega
Do you have a fake tan in that video?
Josie Marcelino
No, just in the dark.
Zach Amico
So let's watch the least. The least egregious one.
Josie Marcelino
The least egregious is the one where I'm in daylight.
Zach Amico
Thank you for your bravery to bring
Josie Marcelino
these God My eyebrows were crazy. You weirdo. Why are you trying to watch your husband get his eyes lasered off?
Zach Amico
This is the least bad one.
Josie Marcelino
That's nasty.
Chris Vega
Can we run that back?
Josie Marcelino
Yeah. So that's the least.
Zach Amico
Darn it.
Chris Vega
From the somebody who's been accused of being a wigger my entire life. I have. There's. You cannot f. I've been doing. I've been podcasting over a decade. I didn't not find me not doing that iron.
Josie Marcelino
I didn't have a single black friend back then. I didn't know any.
Zach Amico
But you shouldn't have any now because of that.
Josie Marcelino
I'm aware.
Zach Amico
Go ahead, start, you weirdo.
Josie Marcelino
Why you trying to watch your husband get his eyes lasered off? Why you trying to watch that? That's nasty.
Chris Vega
What were you watching?
Josie Marcelino
You. My best. My best friend was trying. Was watching her husband get LASIK ice surgery. My best friend Karen. I had no reason.
Chris Vega
Of course it's your best friend, Karen. Was her husband black? No, she wasn't black. No.
Josie Marcelino
Neither of them are black.
Chris Vega
What was your SAT score?
Josie Marcelino
Mine? 2250, I think that's good.
Chris Vega
I don't know. I didn't take this.
Josie Marcelino
I had a really good SAT score and.
Chris Vega
So how'd you do on the English?
Josie Marcelino
That's perfect. Yeah, perfect on my reading and writing. It was my math that I.
Chris Vega
She looks like she did that and she still pronounces it he instead of saying. She still calls it Aave when she's at school.
Zach Amico
I was.
Chris Vega
She looks like she took it as a second language.
Josie Marcelino
I need you guys to know this. I was the president of the diversity club in high school.
Chris Vega
You pull up any scene from. Have you seen Havoc?
Josie Marcelino
No.
Chris Vega
You pull up any scene of Anne Hathaway speaking in Havoc.
Zach Amico
Yeah, bring that up real quick.
Josie Marcelino
Is it like me? Am I Ann Hathaway, y'?
Zach Amico
All. You wish, y'. All.
Chris Vega
She talks like that.
Zach Amico
Oh, God. I feel like I'm watching Aaron Duke.
Josie Marcelino
The next two are so much worse. Aaron Burke, best friend. Oh. Oh, my God.
Zach Amico
Have you seen her do stand up? That's how she. She code switches.
Chris Vega
Does she really?
Zach Amico
Oh, dude, it was the funniest.
Chris Vega
I've seen her hoax.
Zach Amico
My whole act I did on her show was me making fun of her. She was like, y' all need. Jesus. It's fucking bad.
Chris Vega
It's really weird because she's from Minnesota, right? I don't remember. I was at that time.
Zach Amico
She talks like she's from Grape Soda. All right, do we have Anne Hathaway and Havoc?
Chris Vega
Oh, she has to speak or it doesn't work.
Zach Amico
Come on.
Chris Vega
But you just tell by the outfit how she's good. Yeah, that hat is crazy.
Josie Marcelino
Your fingers, put them on the back of your head. Let's go, Hector.
Zach Amico
Spit out the cigarette.
Josie Marcelino
Spit it out.
Zach Amico
Easy.
G Mike
Let's go.
Zach Amico
All right. She's not going to talk.
Josie Marcelino
Don't worry.
Chris Vega
Jump ahead or something. There's a pretty famous one with her in a high school hallway.
Josie Marcelino
Stupid questions like, what's closer to you now? Yeah, in your dreams.
Chris Vega
She's not going to do it in this one because she's scared of these people. You gotta, like, catch. Yeah, all right.
Zach Amico
Don't worry about it.
Josie Marcelino
Doesn't matter.
Zach Amico
Let's watch these other two. Josie.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah, it gets worse. It gets worse. Oh, and is it my good friend.
Chris Vega
All right, all right, pause it. Go back. I need to see that again already.
Josie Marcelino
Oh, and is it my good friend that's been there for me all these years? No, it's not that. Oh, it's not that at all. No, it's a motherfucker. If I get there and he's like, you want to suck it and make me feel better? No, I don't. I ain't gonna be doing that. I watch you stuff your face with ice cream, but I ain't you
Chris Vega
for social media.
Josie Marcelino
And I don't have.
Chris Vega
You actually talk like this all the time.
Josie Marcelino
Not all the time, but half the time I did.
Zach Amico
In between.
Chris Vega
Well, not in front of your parents.
Josie Marcelino
No, occasionally. But in between these videos was like,
Zach Amico
me speaking your moms and your pops.
Chris Vega
Her pops wasn't there, was it?
Josie Marcelino
My pops was there.
Chris Vega
My dad didn't go out for new poets.
Zach Amico
No, no, that pops is around.
Josie Marcelino
My dad's my best bud, dude. That is my dad's how I learned, because my dad does impressions, and he does them very well, so I think I kind of. I. I learned.
Chris Vega
So your dad does racist black people impressions. And you were like, that's an identity time.
Zach Amico
There's nothing more fun.
Josie Marcelino
Come on. Yeah, my dad. Oh, my dad can do every impression under the sun.
Chris Vega
But, like, you just.
Josie Marcelino
And then I just. I just. I don't fucking know, dude.
Chris Vega
By the way, you could tell it's gonna be bad before she talks if you go back.
Josie Marcelino
I knew the way her chin moves. Yeah.
Chris Vega
The way her chin cocks. You're like, oh, this is gonna be.
Josie Marcelino
Literally, I was able to figure out which videos I was doing. The black sent in by my face in the video. I'm like, doing a fucking face with it, which is Awful.
Zach Amico
I wish you could have been around for. And I do think she's always been very funny, but still figuring it out. Yamanika back in the day.
Chris Vega
Yeah. I wish I would have seen that.
Zach Amico
Was my favorite comedian to see live. Because you would just go into the basement and see bees to hearing no laughter. And you would just hear. I wish a motherfucker would try and rape me. Which is all I could do, my Yamadika voice. But please, I need to see this again. Go.
Josie Marcelino
The last one is the worst one. I ain't gonna be doing that. I watch you stuff your face with ice cream, but I ain't you. You don't even understand me right now. I'm so pissed. And I don't have it in me to just be like, no, yourself. Like, I'm gonna leave you out by your lonesome. I don't have it in me.
Chris Vega
Who are you talking about?
Josie Marcelino
My. A guy that I had a crush on that I had a one night
Zach Amico
stand with ice Cream.
Josie Marcelino
So called me like two years later and was like, I'm so sad. My girl just broke up with me. Can I please, like, cry on your shoulder? And I went and watched him eat. I bought him ice cream, watched him eat ice cream, let him cry. I didn't have sex with him that night. And now right after that, he joined the Israeli army and now he's over there married to some lady. So she hot? I don't know. He had to block me after he kept trying to solicit nudes from me and she found them. So shout out to you, Aaron.
Chris Vega
But why wouldn't you just suck his dick to make him feel better?
Josie Marcelino
Because I didn't. I was better than that at that point. I had a little bit of something.
Chris Vega
I don't know.
Josie Marcelino
I know that I posted this on Snapchat.
Zach Amico
No.
Josie Marcelino
So I did. So I sent this to like a couple friends, but I just automatically had everything save on Snapchat.
Zach Amico
Oh, good.
Josie Marcelino
So I have everything from back in the day. So that wasn't like, on my story. That was just like sent to like a couple of.
Zach Amico
Oh, that was you talking to. That wasn't your story.
Chris Vega
You were sending voice notes.
Josie Marcelino
I would send. Yeah. Like, just like talking to my friends. Yeah, I could see.
Zach Amico
I could.
Josie Marcelino
That was how people my age kind of used Snapchat when it was a thing.
Zach Amico
Well, let's see this third one because
Josie Marcelino

Zach Amico
Oh, no.
Josie Marcelino
Yeah. Yep. Do fucking something. Do something. You not doing shit like fucking drink From a fucking water bottle. And you don't have to go to the hospital no more. I ain't feeling bad for your ass. Cause you don't know how to do the drinking.

Zach Amico
I'm a headliner, motherfucker. I've been in war zones. Holy shit. You are so brave.
Chris Vega
If you were five years vulnerability.
Josie Marcelino
I texted Jay last night and I was like. I texted Big J and I was like, hey, I. I found these videos of me doing a black set, and it's really hilarious, but really embarrassing. Do you think that if I bring it on a podcast, that's going to be detrimental to my career later in the future? And he was like, now, have you seen the video of me trying early stand up? He was like, you're fine. So I was like, all right.
Zach Amico
It's worth talking to black people.
Josie Marcelino
No, I was talking to white people.
Zach Amico
You were talking to the abyss.
Josie Marcelino
That last one was about, which is
Zach Amico
what I call talking to black people.
Josie Marcelino
That last one was me talking to the black.

Zac Amico's Morning Zoo – Episode 130: Chris Faga and Josie Marcellino
Date: July 24, 2026 | Network: GaS Digital
Guests: Chris Faga (Notes of a Goon, High Society Radio), Josie Marcellino
Host: Zac Amico
Producer: G Mike (subbing for Shannon)
This episode of Zac Amico’s Morning Zoo brings together comedian Chris Faga and regular Josie Marcellino for an unfiltered, raucous session full of twisted news, wild stories, and deliciously inappropriate humor. The show features offbeat rants, tales of personal debauchery, unvarnished opinions about NYC, vivid funeral stories, a deep dive into the world of “Indians vs. Trains,” and Josie's courageous reveal of her “blackcent” phase—all delivered in the trademark Morning Zoo style: irreverent, chaotic, and very funny.
A classic, darkly comic segment where Zac and Chris review viral videos of Indians tangling with dangerous situations, reflecting on public safety, and the dark side of YouTube.
Josie’s discomfort with graphic content is palpable: “12:30 in the afternoon. What are we doing?” [30:59]
In an act of “bravery,” Josie brings in old Snapchat clips of herself code-switching into a faux-Black dialect, drawing sharp, hilarious, and self-aware commentary.
Zac’s Final Words:
“That was magical. I want to thank you for your bravery. We’re gonna need to chop those up and use them as sound clips here on the show.” [66:52]
