Joel McHale
Okay.
Mark Normand
We got a wine schnob with us right here.
Sam Morril
Yeah, absolutely.
Mark Normand
So if. If not wine, we could do, like. We got every liquor.
Joel McHale
I could do a little. Do you have an ipa?
Mark Normand
Do we have beer?
Joel McHale
Good God. Oh, we got everything except for wine.
Mark Normand
We have. We're liquor drinkers. We're not really beer guys.
Joel McHale
It's fine. I drink scotch.
Sam Morril
We got great scotch, but.
Joel McHale
No, I want to drink wine. Come on. This is. It's early in the day.
Mark Normand
Let's see what the rating is.
Sam Morril
Very early.
Joel McHale
Which scotch is it?
Sam Morril
Let me start opening there, Jojo.
Joel McHale
All right. The 2019, guys. Here we go. Oh. 12.97.
Sam Morril
Hey.
Joel McHale
In New York.
Sam Morril
Well, that was when it was new.
Joel McHale
Actually, we shouldn't have that. That's headache in a bottle. So I call my ex. Hey, let's do some of these. It probably is fine, but I don't know if, like, they reverse engineer, like, cheap wines and with. I'm not kidding. And so they would be like, oh, you like the taste of that? So they use all these, like, powders and chemicals and stuff to make it taste a certain way. And that shit gives you a headache. Thank you.
Sam Morril
Easy rfk.
Joel McHale
Thank you.
Sam Morril
All right. Good to know. Wine is the worst hangover, I think.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Sangria is the word.
Sam Morril
Oh.
Mark Normand
Because that's wine. But with other shit.
Sam Morril
Gross.
Joel McHale
I don't.
Sam Morril
All sugar.
Joel McHale
I. It's the hard liquor that gets me.
Mark Normand
Really.
Joel McHale
Yeah.
Mark Normand
So let's do.
Joel McHale
No, no. That gives me the hangover.
Sam Morril
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even like, a clean tequila or vodka. Clear liquor to me. I'm good now.
Joel McHale
It's got so much more alcohol in it.
Sam Morril
That's true.
Joel McHale
That's why I like, you know, distilled.
Mark Normand
But wine is sugar, dude.
Joel McHale
Sugar doesn't. Sugar all day. Same thing. Doesn't happen if you have a donut.
Mark Normand
I feel like shit if I ate a look. You're fucking ripped, by the way. I didn't realize you were, like, shredded.
Joel McHale
I had a donut today.
Sam Morril
What a dilf. Killing it.
Joel McHale
We had a cronite. Yes.
Mark Normand
I feel like you hide it on the comedy shows a little bit now. I see. I'm like, this guy's kind of shredded.
Joel McHale
I wear shirts from Baby Gap.
Sam Morril
That'll do it.
Joel McHale
It's the only way I can show it off. So did you find an ipa? No.
Sam Morril
All I have is.
Joel McHale
You have a flavored beer.
Sam Morril
Oh, that's.
Mark Normand
That's Whitney Cummings right there.
Sam Morril
This is embarrassing.
Mark Normand
She was pushing that stuff on us.
Sam Morril
I'll.
Joel McHale
I'll have a Whitney Cummings Kombucha. That's great.
Sam Morril
I also will have.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Are they cold? Okay, I'll do a kombucha, then. All right, Spike. Kombucha.
Joel McHale
How many drinks have you guys had? What's the record on the pile?
Sam Morril
We've blacked out. We've got Chrysler on. We've had animals.
Joel McHale
Yeah. So at Birch. He's my hero.
Sam Morril
Oh, well, you're the one.
Joel McHale
Drinking. That one is less. That one, I think.
Mark Normand
Oh, I like grapefruit.
Sam Morril
This is the personal Whitney one. It's where. This is the one that made her stalker. Yeah. She had a baby with a stalker.
Joel McHale
She did.
Sam Morril
Yeah. She's open about it.
Mark Normand
Okay. He's open about it. I don't think this is your story to tell.
Sam Morril
No, no, no. I'm the stalker.
Joel McHale
Oh, congrats.
Sam Morril
Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I didn't think she'd keep it.
Mark Normand
You were saying you're not touching this because it's too squishy.
Joel McHale
Well, that one, it's not as pressurized as the others, so. I don't know.
Sam Morril
It's like an avocado.
Joel McHale
Cheers. Thanks for.
Sam Morril
Hey, mazel cheers, guys.
Joel McHale
There we go.
Sam Morril
I got to pull this up, but I have a photo I opened for you in Caroline's in 2009.
Mark Normand
I remember. You were pumped.
Sam Morril
I was very pumped. I have a photo of us in the green room bitching about Chevy Chase.
Joel McHale
Oh, perfect.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Joel McHale
Yeah. That's a daily occurrence.
Sam Morril
And now Caroline's is gone, and Chevy's still here.
Joel McHale
Yeah. Let's see our photos.
Mark Normand
I did not think he would outlive that club. That's crazy.
Sam Morril
I know.
Joel McHale
Surprised it went down.
Mark Normand
Are you still on bad terms with Chevy Chase, or. No.
Joel McHale
Well, I. Was. It. It's not that. It was good. I don't know. It's like we haven't talked to him forever, but it's not only one of those things where we ever were, like, that's it. There was never that. But. But I've been very vocal about how.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Joel McHale
He didn't want to be there.
Sam Morril
No.
Joel McHale
So why.
Mark Normand
It's so weird to not work for that long and then get a great gig and, like, be like this.
Joel McHale
Yeah, he was.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Joel McHale
He didn't. Like, he. He. Yeah, we shot him out each day and. Yeah. I mean, it's. There's enough.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Joel McHale
How. You know, how his behavior on sets.
Sam Morril
Yeah. Yeah.
Mark Normand
He's still good on the show. I mean, he's still amazing.
Sam Morril
He's great. He's a pro.
Joel McHale
So funny on it. And when he knew his lines he was great.
Sam Morril
Yeah, man. He was a hunk back in the day. He was a tall.
Joel McHale
He was a For real. Leading man.
Mark Normand
Oh, were you a big fan growing up?
Joel McHale
Yeah, huge. Yeah.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Famously.
Joel McHale
Fletch and Vacation. Those were. I memorized those.
Sam Morril
Same, same.
Joel McHale
And. But then, like. Like what? The one where he's snorting cocaine. Wow.
Sam Morril
Foul play.
Joel McHale
Foul play. There it is. Yeah.
Sam Morril
Oh, wow. Oh, modern problems. There it is.
Joel McHale
Oh, yes. Sorry.
Sam Morril
Foul play was the Goldie Hawn joint. Yeah, but he had. He had a run. But then he really had some stinkers, too. But, hey, but don't we all. Who doesn't, right? Yes, there is. There you go. That's the back backstage.
Mark Normand
But he popped in a good one. Like Three Amigos is funny.
Sam Morril
I love amigos.
Mark Normand
Yeah. I mean, he's popped into good ones.
Sam Morril
That I have memorized. It's a sweater.
Joel McHale
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Plethora.
Joel McHale
I remember tuning into when they. All three of them hosted snl.
Sam Morril
What?
Joel McHale
Right.
Sam Morril
Is that right?
Joel McHale
Yeah, for promotion of the movie.
Sam Morril
Wow.
Joel McHale
Way back, you guys might not have been born.
Sam Morril
86. I believe it came out. And I was born in 83, so I had it on VHS. I wore it out.
Joel McHale
Directed by.
Sam Morril
Oh, I know. Really?
Mark Normand
Who?
Joel McHale
Land.
Sam Morril
Landis? No, King Lorne Michaels produced.
Mark Normand
Isn't he the one with the helicopter? Mm, no, the people died in the. In the helicopter.
Joel McHale
He was directing Twilight Zone.
Mark Normand
Damn.
Joel McHale
Oh, yeah.
Sam Morril
He also had a beef with Eddie Murphy.
Joel McHale
He did.
Sam Morril
Or is that Ivan Reitman? I think it was Landis who did Coming to America.
Joel McHale
That was Eddie Murphy.
Sam Morril
But who directed it?
Mark Normand
It's like, who's on first?
Sam Morril
I know he wasn't in.
Joel McHale
We're gonna find out who.
Sam Morril
I'm telling you, him and Murphy hated each other.
Joel McHale
Well, it looks like he directed Trading Places.
Sam Morril
That's where it started.
Joel McHale
Coming to America.
Sam Morril
Thank you.
Joel McHale
All right. But then they did Boomerang after that, so.
Sam Morril
Yeah. And how'd that go?
Joel McHale
I feel like it was a hit.
Mark Normand
I think it was.
Sam Morril
Okay.
Joel McHale
How'd that go? It was a hit.
Mark Normand
You're really taking people down a notch today.
Sam Morril
Wow. Try to get the juices flowing.
Mark Normand
Yeah, I like it.
Sam Morril
All right. It's early. 5.6. That's what I'm talking about.
Joel McHale
That's the rating.
Mark Normand
Yeah, but people still liked it, though.
Sam Morril
I enjoyed it.
Joel McHale
Yeah.
Sam Morril
It's a sexy comedy.
Mark Normand
Wasn't that Halle Berry?
Sam Morril
I think it was.
Joel McHale
When Dumb and Dumber came out. It was panned. But then.
Sam Morril
Right.
Joel McHale
A massive hit comedy. Wait a minute. Maybe. This was great.
Sam Morril
Brilliant.
Joel McHale
Dude, where's my Car was a huge hit. Right.
Sam Morril
But a bad movie.
Joel McHale
It straight. Well, I mean, I don't want to.
Sam Morril
Get you in trouble.
Joel McHale
I was not in it. Oh, yeah. That Ashton Kutcher is going to really come down on me for. But there was.
Mark Normand
Leave the country.
Sam Morril
Yeah. He's got his own.
Mark Normand
I think he's out of here.
Sam Morril
He's at a Hamas tunnel right now. He's waiting out.
Joel McHale
He left the country.
Mark Normand
I think there was some Diddy stuff.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Joel McHale
Wow. Wow. This is taking so many.
Sam Morril
Sorry, Joel.
Mark Normand
He was on a weird streak where they wrote the judge. They wrote the judge to try to get.
Sam Morril
Yes.
Mark Normand
70 show guys. And then the Diddy stuff came out and he was like, I think I'm gonna go to Sweden for a while.
Sam Morril
I'm out of here.
Mark Normand
Yeah, maybe not Sweden. I made up a country. He went somewhere.
Joel McHale
Sweden's a real country.
Mark Normand
No, but I made up where he would have went.
Sam Morril
Yes, yes, yes.
Joel McHale
Maybe. I don't know. Narnia.
Mark Normand
He's in Narnia.
Sam Morril
We've had him on the show. Call in Ashton if you're watching. If you're.
Joel McHale
If you're. Whatever time zone you're in.
Sam Morril
It's a live stream.
Joel McHale
I like, we were deep in that movie thing. We're like, Ashton Kutcher. No way to find out what he's doing.
Sam Morril
Give it a go.
Joel McHale
It's just called Googling with.
Sam Morril
I know. What do you do over there at.
Mark Normand
That point, just sitting there doing nothing. You got the computer.
Sam Morril
Google. He's currently in Beverly Hills in a.
Joel McHale
Farmhouse, and he's got a beachfront home in Carpinteria.
Sam Morril
Good for him.
Joel McHale
Wait, but it doesn't go to Ashton Kutcher. News, I guess.
Mark Normand
Go to news. I don't. Dude, why are we leaning on AI for all this?
Sam Morril
Yeah, yeah. They're gonna take over. They're gonna take our jobs.
Mark Normand
Boom.
Sam Morril
Okay.
Joel McHale
All right.
Mark Normand
Another. I didn't make that up.
Sam Morril
Another proven point.
Joel McHale
A move to Europe. And that was in October.
Mark Normand
Yeah. That was when the Diddy shit was heating up.
Sam Morril
Oh, I feel like it's.
Joel McHale
Now is when it is the most.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Joel McHale
There's a lot of stuff going on.
Sam Morril
This was the beginning. Now he's. He's going to jail for sure.
Joel McHale
Okay. He called it here. I still want. For some reason, I want to Google Rodney Dangerfield.
Mark Normand
I don't know why, but I'm all for it.
Sam Morril
Dude, I love. We love Rodney.
Mark Normand
I love him.
Sam Morril
Big fan.
Joel McHale
He's one of the greatest of all time, my friend. He was in a band called the Presidents. Of the United States of America. Oh, great band named Lump.
Sam Morril
Cheese Lump.
Joel McHale
Peaches.
Sam Morril
Cheese Lump.
Joel McHale
And he was on Conan's 12:30 show playing Lump. And Rodney Dangerfield was on the show.
Sam Morril
Wow.
Joel McHale
And he said they happened to be in the restroom at the same time. Just. And. No, they were at the stall. They were at the stalls. And my friend Chris just goes, I'm a big fan. He's been like. He, like, huge, like, all his life. And Ron Dangerfield just goes, that was it.
Sam Morril
That's brutal. That was it. Well, maybe the urinal was a bad.
Mark Normand
Time to tell you.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Normand
No, you wait to wash the hand.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Normand
You know, I don't.
Sam Morril
Yes.
Mark Normand
You don't talk at the urinal. I think it's a. Silence.
Joel McHale
I think you go all in and be like, thank you, while I'm holding my penis. I wanted. Yeah, it's great.
Mark Normand
He wanted a zing from Rodney.
Joel McHale
Yeah. I think he just was like, are.
Mark Normand
You going to talk to me while my cock's in my hands?
Joel McHale
Good God, yes. That would have been great.
Sam Morril
That's really good. He can do it. You heard the Eddie Murphy urinal story with Rodney?
Joel McHale
No.
Mark Normand
That's a great one.
Sam Morril
So he beat up John Landis. No. So he went to go pee, and Rodney. It was just the beginning of Eddie Murphy.
Mark Normand
Nobody even had the first part.
Sam Morril
Oh, you. You tell him.
Mark Normand
The first part is, like, years, years ago. Eddie Murphy sees him in his club.
Sam Morril
Yes.
Mark Normand
And he. And he goes up and he's like, stunting. He's like, oh, I'm gonna go kill in front of Rodney. And he crushes. And he's expecting Rodney to be like, oh, my God, you're great. And he gets off and he goes, what the fuck? You're filthy. Like, what's wrong with you? You're so filthy. You're never gonna make it like that.
Sam Morril
Too dirty, kid.
Mark Normand
You're too dirty. And then years go by, and Eddie Murphy's selling out some insane venue in Vegas, and they're urinal to urinal, and Ronnie just turns me. And he goes, hey, who knew?
Joel McHale
Pretty good. Pretty good.
Mark Normand
It's great, man.
Joel McHale
Great.
Sam Morril
Remember what he told Norm? He's like, hey, Norm, you know, stand up's the best. My movies, tv, it's all you got to stick with. Stand up. And he saw Norm 10 or so Rodney, 10 years later, he's like, stand up.
Joel McHale
What?
Sam Morril
He's a complicated man.
Joel McHale
Yeah, he's. Yeah, that Norm MacDonald.
Sam Morril
The king.
Joel McHale
The King.
Sam Morril
You meet him, you work with him.
Joel McHale
I've never. I never worked with Them. There was a couple of tweets.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Joel McHale
There was a. At one point, William Shatner was tweeting at us going, you guys aren't funny.
Mark Normand
You guys together?
Joel McHale
Us together. Why don't you know? And where's Shattered?
Sam Morril
Why's he talking?
Joel McHale
I retweeted it was like, big fan. And. Yeah, I didn't understand. Yeah, that was. But I never met Norman. I never got to meet him.
Mark Normand
How the fuck did Shatner outlive Norm?
Joel McHale
Yeah, I like, a lot. Shatner was on Colbert last night.
Sam Morril
Wow. He's been to the moon four times.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Joel McHale
Yeah.
Mark Normand
So Shatner just doesn't like you.
Joel McHale
Well.
Mark Normand
And then did you trash him on the Soup or something?
Joel McHale
I don't. Oh, the soup. No, we. I was like. I was. I'm gonna burp this kombucha hippie burp. It's like stalker. I was confused because there's been people that were offended. And I was like, okay. Yeah. All right. Well, we showed that clip of you and. But I couldn't fit. We had no. I don't know if I had made fun of his friend or something like that, but. Unexplainable. And then three years ago, I hosted the. It's like the Sci Fi Awards in. It's called the Saturn Awards in la and quit bragging. Well, I can't help but. Yeah. And he was there and I was like, here we go.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Joel McHale
And this is probably where he's. And then he walked up and he was like, hey, Joel, how are you? And I was like, I can't keep track of anything. This had an awards. Pound for Pound. The. One of the best award shows. It is.
Mark Normand
I thought you're going to say the fattest attendees.
Sam Morril
Yes.
Mark Normand
Pound for pound. The fattest.
Joel McHale
Pound for pound. Like this muscle mass. But the. If you look at the list of people that are there.
Sam Morril
Oh, look at that here.
Joel McHale
It is insane.
Sam Morril
Really?
Joel McHale
Keanu Reeves, Nicolas Cage.
Mark Normand
And Are you a big sci fi guy?
Joel McHale
Yeah, I mean, I like a lot of stuff, but sure, I love sci Fi, but. But everybody stays like, Kevin Feige sits in the front row.
Sam Morril
Jesus.
Joel McHale
Yeah, it's a good time.
Mark Normand
And how is. So you do a monologue and what.
Joel McHale
I did like a dance and then I play a couple inch. Yeah, I just do a molog. And then. Yeah, there's James Cameron.
Sam Morril
Wow. Spielberg. I mean, this is a who's who of Nerdville.
Joel McHale
And it's in a. It's in an airport ballroom, literally across the street from the Burbank Airport.
Sam Morril
Oh, interesting.
Joel McHale
It's a pope. Yeah. It's good times.
Sam Morril
Wow, that's fun.
Joel McHale
Yeah, It's. As the paycheck, it's not a lot. Quarter million.
Sam Morril
With like.
Joel McHale
But I always, you know, I just make sure it's in cash.
Sam Morril
Yeah. There's all these wacky awards. There's webbies and the porn awards. There's a million award shows. It's always a. I know Bill Hicks.
Mark Normand
Hosted the adult Film awards.
Sam Morril
Is that right?
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Wow.
Mark Normand
There's that clip where he's like. I don't know how else to say this, but thanks for coming.
Sam Morril
Hey, Greg Fitzsimmons had the great joke. He goes, what was it? Oh, I'm gonna it up. I saw Ron Jeremy at the gas station. We said hi to each other, and then when he was done, he took the nozzle out and sprayed it all over the car.
Mark Normand
That's great. Remember when Ron Jeremy was in the crow show we did at the Cellar?
Sam Morril
Yes. Just passed out sleeping.
Mark Normand
Mark's just mid sentence. He looks over, goes, is that Ron Jeremy asleep? And the crowd just fucking lost it. Then he woke up.
Sam Morril
Yeah. Oh, there he is.
Mark Normand
Oh, isn't he in prison for rape now?
Sam Morril
Yeah, yeah.
Mark Normand
Damn.
Sam Morril
Yes, the hedgehog.
Mark Normand
Why don't you AI search what Ron Jeremy's up to?
Joel McHale
1990.
Mark Normand
He's got a house in Calabasas.
Joel McHale
Why does it look like Bill Hicks was playing that? Looked like he was in a rock show in 1962.
Sam Morril
He's doing Elvis. Yeah. What they have. Look at the camera work back then. Chris Rock famously got asked to do the video. What do you call it? Adult Video Awards. And he said, no. And then later he got Madagascar. And his agent said, if you had done the award show for the porno, they would have given you this.
Mark Normand
So better paycheck.
Sam Morril
Better paycheck.
Joel McHale
They would have given you Madagascar.
Sam Morril
He's saying they wouldn't have if he had done the porn awards.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Fitzsimmons ain't voicing the car.
Sam Morril
No, those days are over.
Joel McHale
Yeah. He does not look holy.
Sam Morril
That's our Googler. Look at that. Same guy.
Mark Normand
Porn stars do not age well.
Sam Morril
He wasn't looking good in his heyday.
Mark Normand
I know, but that.
Joel McHale
But at least he's wearing the mask.
Mark Normand
Oh, my God. Look at him.
Sam Morril
Jesus.
Joel McHale
Are we even sure that's not him on the left?
Sam Morril
That looks like a Dune character. My God. I thought it looked like a incompetent.
Joel McHale
Like, Predator after being.
Sam Morril
Well, you got the Predator part right.
Joel McHale
Oh, hey. Wow.
Sam Morril
Thank you.
Joel McHale
That was crazy. How was our show in 2009.
Sam Morril
I mean, it was the highlight of my life. But it was great. You sold it out. It was a treat for a young open micr. I got to do a full house at Caroline's and meet you and it was. It was great. You were nice enough to talk with me. This. There's some headliners out there who are like, get out of the green room, you peasant. Fuck you. Kill yourself.
Joel McHale
I'm not gonna ask for names, but who does that?
Sam Morril
Ah, Rodney. No, people do it. I don't want to speak out of school, but.
Mark Normand
Yeah, yeah, but you guys did pee urinal to urinal. And Mark said he was a fan and you just stared at him.
Joel McHale
Yeah, but it was like a five minute stare.
Sam Morril
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joel McHale
And we fell in love.
Sam Morril
But did you start in stand up or did you start in acting?
Joel McHale
No, I did a lot of acting and improv in Seattle.
Sam Morril
Oh, Seattle.
Joel McHale
And I really didn't start doing stand up until after the Soup started. I mean, I was doing stage stuff, but until I had this agent that was like, if you, if you get your friends together and go do shows around the country.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Joel McHale
Host shows, you'll make money.
Sam Morril
Oh, yeah.
Joel McHale
And I was like, okay, why not? And that's where I. Yeah, I was lucky because it. Well, it was a two edged sword because it was a crowd that knew me. And then, you know, when the soup stopped, I realized quickly. Or when I would go into crowds that didn't know the show, I was like, oh, none of these jokes work right.
Sam Morril
They got to know you trouble.
Joel McHale
And so then I bombed a lot. It was great. And then now I've gotten it all back. No, it was probably good for your.
Mark Normand
Development that you bombed a lot, you know?
Joel McHale
Yeah, it was great. I loved it. Helped my ego. Yeah. But it taught. Yeah, it did teach me, you know? You know, those things go. They're real learning experiences.
Sam Morril
Sure. Did you enjoy it at all or was it. Was it like, ah, we got to do this bullshit now, get the paycheck?
Joel McHale
No, I, I love attention.
Sam Morril
Okay.
Joel McHale
I like it and I like being on stage. And so I'm a. Yeah, full extrovert. So I. Wow. I'm like, let's. I get energy from people looking at me.
Sam Morril
Well, you pulled it out. I mean, it was a. It was a good show.
Joel McHale
And. Oh, no, that was. No, that was. Yeah, that was good times, though. I knew that.
Sam Morril
Yeah, you had a real hour together. It was like, you know, had a beginning, a middle and end. It was a through line. It was good.
Joel McHale
It was good times.
Sam Morril
Good Times.
Joel McHale
And now that club is gone. What happened?
Sam Morril
Ron Jeremy went in there. No, it was just. It was too big. The rents went up. It's in the middle of Times Square. It just didn't work.
Mark Normand
It was also. It's also a weird time where, like, not like. I feel like a lot of big comics would play rooms like that. And then those big comics were like, I'll just do a fucking theater.
Sam Morril
Right. Good point.
Joel McHale
Yeah.
Mark Normand
I mean, I love that club coming up.
Sam Morril
We spent a lot of hours there. A lot of meals.
Joel McHale
Where. A lot of shows going out. The Cellar.
Sam Morril
Yeah, Two tonight there.
Mark Normand
Yeah, I'll be. I'll see you there.
Sam Morril
All right. You want to pop in?
Joel McHale
I'll be flying on an airplane.
Sam Morril
Ah.
Joel McHale
To Sweden to join.
Sam Morril
You were at the Diddy party.
Joel McHale
I'm going to have that freak off.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Normand
When you. How long was the soup on?
Joel McHale
12 years.
Sam Morril
Wow.
Mark Normand
Are you serious?
Joel McHale
Yeah. That's all started in 2004.
Sam Morril
Did you ever get shit? Because, I mean, you're zinging Hollywood.
Joel McHale
Yeah, well, they would. It was going way back, but the. The. Our goal was let the clips speak for themselves. And not because you could say everybody is dumb and everybody's crazy, but if you. If you let the clip be the thing. Be the thing that hang. So if they got mad at us and be like, well, this was what you did on camera. But people tried and stop us. A couple folks.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Joel McHale
Tyra Banks didn't like it when we wanted her, and she's a her. King World at that point was a huge distribution company threatened. But at that point, the president of Eve was really cool and he was like, you have to go all you have to put, you know? Yeah. And I was like, how does she.
Mark Normand
Try to stop a joke?
Joel McHale
Oh. By King World saying, we are not gonna allow E to use any footage from any King World show.
Sam Morril
Oh, got it.
Joel McHale
And we just kind of laid off for a little bit and then went back to it.
Sam Morril
Hell, yeah.
Joel McHale
That's like the Kardashians. When they first started, we were making fun of them, and then Kris Jenner would call, and then the president would call and be like, can you.
Sam Morril
Wow.
Joel McHale
Lay off for a week? And I'd be like, yeah. And then I'd lay off for a week and then. Then make fun of them again.
Mark Normand
Do you ever run in any.
Joel McHale
And it never worked out for them.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Joel McHale
Do I run into the Kardashians?
Mark Normand
I mean, any of these people who.
Sam Morril
You made fun of, we might be drunk as. Brought you by Kelshi. How are the Odds for your team. How much payout would you get if you bet? Did you bet? We love Kelsey.

Joel McHale
Yeah. Through. Over the year. Like, I see. Yeah, like RuPaul. We used to make fun of that show all the time.
Sam Morril
Sure.
Joel McHale
But that show was extremely different. And.
Sam Morril
Yes.
Joel McHale
But he. He would come on the show, so we often would. So we were trying to. Like, we're celebrating how insane television is and not just this sucks. This sucks. We never. It wasn't. We weren't ever trying to go, this is stupid or sucks.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Joel McHale
Just kind of going, here's something nuts.
Sam Morril
And yes. And you highlight it.
Joel McHale
Yeah. So, yeah, no, I. No one's taking a swing at me.
Sam Morril
All right.
Joel McHale
But most reality stars, way back when, they were like, thank you for that clip.
Sam Morril
Oh, wow.
Mark Normand
I mean, yeah, they're on reality tv. They want attention.
Sam Morril
Right.
Joel McHale
It's all good news.
Sam Morril
It's a brilliant show because this one TV got real wacky, like reality shows and all this stuff. So you got to just shine a light on it.
Joel McHale
And there was. It was much less polished. It's when they figured out, oh, we can make this tiny little show. And it's going to get as huge ratings as. Yeah, any.
Sam Morril
And cheap.
Joel McHale
So like something like Flavor Flav shows.
Sam Morril
Oh, gold mine.
Joel McHale
Those don't really. They're not. They don't have the same. I know. Like Love island now is basically people just. But yeah, but got to get on that flavor. Like the Whitney Houston show being Bobby Brown.
Sam Morril
Oh, yeah.
Joel McHale
That would never, ever happen today because.
Mark Normand
What was that show? I don't even remember that.
Joel McHale
It was just Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston being cameras following them. And they were clearly High the whole time.
Mark Normand
Damned.
Sam Morril
Oh, yeah. And then the. What was the other one? What's the tits? Anna Cole Smith.
Joel McHale
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Which is her being high. Then you had the. The Osbornes, which is Ozzy being fucking checked.
Joel McHale
Yeah, Osborne's was the original.
Sam Morril
Yeah, it was a while. And then the car. I like the Kardashians. Put out a sex tape. But they're like, hey, easy with the jokes. You put out a sex tape, you're blowing a guy and you're worried about my. My Yucca Mops here. Yuck.
Joel McHale
Yes. Hey, my Yakum Ups. Yeah, and they obviously.
Mark Normand
But. Yeah, but the. The fucking on tape helped them.
Sam Morril
That's true.
Mark Normand
You know it's true.
Sam Morril
But I'm sure I. Being on the soup doesn't hurt you.
Joel McHale
Paris Hilton. Yeah, that was. Yeah, but that was leaked by her boyfriend, Tommy Lee. Not. Wait, Paris Hilton.
Sam Morril
Well, he had a sex tape, I'm saying.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah, you're just naming names.
Sam Morril
Yeah, I'm just doing sex tapes now.
Mark Normand
Ilya Kazan over here. So many takes, so many names.
Sam Morril
Yeah, but that's a.
Joel McHale
Those are going way back.
Sam Morril
That's the ideal show. I would as a comic. I mean, that was pre Tosh point zero. I mean, it's really a perfect show for a comedian.
Joel McHale
And ridiculousness is still on.
Sam Morril
Oh, yeah.
Joel McHale
Still going.
Sam Morril
That's the kid version.
Joel McHale
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Have they tried to reboot the Soup again without you or.
Joel McHale
No, they did, but it was during COVID hit and it's really funny. Comic named Jade and she.
Sam Morril
It Catapretta.
Joel McHale
Yeah, yeah. Right. And really nice. And. But yeah, I mean, it. We were on the air for a year before anybody watched the show.
Sam Morril
Wow.
Joel McHale
E was very kind and let us kind of marinate and get better. And so we didn't. So we were. It was basically a year before anybody started watching the show and we were so lucky because of that. And. And then we tried it on Netflix and after two seasons they canceled that. But that. Yeah. But now, you know, YouTube clips and any clip.
Sam Morril
Exactly.
Joel McHale
TikTok or Instagram instantly. And so it's. All the jokes have been made. Unless you're doing it instantly or that night.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Was it. Was it a daily. It was it every night? Right.
Joel McHale
It was weekly.
Mark Normand
Weekly.
Joel McHale
So we would save them up and then Friday night and then pray there wasn't a mass shooting in the news.
Sam Morril
Right, right.
Joel McHale
Which happened a lot.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Normand
It's such a funny reaction. Like A. Like 14 kids get killed. You're like, now I can't make a Paris Hilton.
Joel McHale
Yeah, well, yeah. So, yeah. Yeah, it's good times.
Mark Normand
But I remember watching it, like, back. Way back in the day, and being shocked that it was good, because I was like. It was so no frills in the setup.
Sam Morril
Yes.
Mark Normand
Oh, this is gonna. This is like rinky dink. But then you're like, oh, but that's part of the charm.
Sam Morril
Yes. Then the jokes were good.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Joel McHale
That was one of the reasons why we were on for a year without anybody doing anything because it was so cheap.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Joel McHale
It was a camera and us. And that was.
Mark Normand
Yeah, wasn't it Kinnear before you.
Joel McHale
Kinnear and then John Henson.
Sam Morril
Hence, years with the. With the gray streak.
Joel McHale
Hal Sparks. And then.
Sam Morril
Wow.
Joel McHale
Tyler.
Sam Morril
Wow.
Joel McHale
Guest hosts in there. But Aisha did it for a few years and then stopped in 2002.
Sam Morril
And then you jumped in.
Joel McHale
And then in 2004, they wanted to reboot it, but they didn't want to call it the Soup. They were like, we don't want it to be Talk Soup. And they called it the what The Awards. So the show was called the what? The Awards, which is a terrible name.
Mark Normand
To get a name that works.
Sam Morril
I know.
Mark Normand
Like a brand.
Joel McHale
Well. And the new president came in and went, like, this terrible name. Change it to Talk Soup. Or Soup, I think he named it. And that. Yeah.
Sam Morril
Damn, what a run. Where the hell.
Joel McHale
Those were the days, guys. It's going way back.
Sam Morril
Well, you got to admit, that was a lot easier light lifting than a sitcom.
Joel McHale
Yeah, well, yeah. There's a lot less flawless camera moves.
Sam Morril
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you had a five o' clock shadow, a loose tie.
Joel McHale
It's just me stumbling through teleprompter.
Sam Morril
Right.
Joel McHale
Clips and getting those. Getting that. The gathering of the clips and the producers, how hard they worked and the joke writing and. And the number of people that helped put it together were. It was. That was a big effort.
Sam Morril
Of course.
Joel McHale
They were great, and I was so lucky.
Sam Morril
And now you're doing the 1% club. Thank you. The game show, which. That's a fun gig.
Joel McHale
That's just a promo. That's the promo one. Can we play it? Sure. Yeah. All right.
Sam Morril
Hey, look at that.
Joel McHale
That's me.
Sam Morril
What a hunk.
Joel McHale
First look. See what I did there? That was percentage here. Yeah. All right. Poop and toots and not fart. This is my biggest win. Here's how you play the game. You are asked a question, and if you get it right, you get to answer another question. 50% of the people we pulled answered that correctly. If you got that wrong. Welcome to the Dumb house. There's a house for dumb people.
Mark Normand
So. Yeah, Jim Jeffries hosts this version in Australia.
Joel McHale
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mark Normand
Jim's our buddy. That's. Yeah, it's a huge hit in Australia.
Sam Morril
Oh, yeah, man. And England, it was Lee Mack, I believe, did the original.
Mark Normand
Yeah, but yeah, we know our fucking 1% club.
Joel McHale
Yeah, yeah, it's. It's. It's B. It's BBC. I think it's their property.
Sam Morril
I thought it was a show about Epstein's Island. Just come off the name.
Joel McHale
Oh, that's. Yeah, we're. That's where.
Sam Morril
That's Love Island.
Mark Normand
What is that? Fox? Okay, cool.

Joel McHale
Teemu.
Sam Morril
TiVo.
Mark Normand
I'm gonna watch it on Mubi.
Sam Morril
I don't watch it on Tubi or Paramount. Plus whatever.
Joel McHale
The gutter is still a company.
Mark Normand
I don't know. We should look this up.
Sam Morril
They had a good run.
Mark Normand
Sweet.
Joel McHale
They did. They changed everything.
Sam Morril
They changed everything.
Joel McHale
And then people went, wait, we don't need a separate company. We'll just put them on all of the cable boxes.

He is.
Joel McHale
He really is that movie. And it's that, you know, like, wow. Like in the Martian where it's such a good movie.

I love a Western.
Joel McHale
And you see Rotten Tomatoes coming back.
Sam Morril
They are.
Joel McHale
They have come back.
Sam Morril
They've been back.
Mark Normand
Like, they've been back.
Joel McHale
But this was during the non come. This is how many years ago? 2015. So.
Sam Morril
Oh, they've been back.
Mark Normand
But I feel like they went away for like a long time.
Sam Morril
Big time.
Joel McHale
They did because Hollywood was like, well, the western is dead because sci fi has replaced the western. And that was bull. And then come, you know, Covid.
Sam Morril
Yep.
Joel McHale
And the most. The three most popular things, if you had said. If you had said in 2015, in five years, there'd be a worldwide pandemic and the biggest star on the planet would be Kevin Costner starring in a western soap opera.
Sam Morril
Oh, yeah.
Mark Normand
That's what turned me into a Republican dude.
Joel McHale
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Oh, and they're trying to take this white guy's land.
Sam Morril
This is bullshit.
Joel McHale
Yeah. But then you'd be like, oh, and there's what else is popular? It's this Korean language murder game show. If you had told an executive this, they'd be like, I don't think so. What else? Oh, it's this documentary about a guy that has a private tiger zoo and Right on methamphetamine and a murderer. And it was like, well, yeah, I don't think that's any. That's never going to be. And all those things were true.
Sam Morril
It's all unpredictable. Yeah, you're right. But that's what America like. We go, we've seen a million of this. Oh, what's this Korean game show thing? Let's try that.
Mark Normand
You brought up Yellowstone. It's like, you know, hell or high water. I was like, oh, this.
Joel McHale
Like, it's one of the greatest.
Mark Normand
I think it's one of the best movies of the last amazing five years.
Joel McHale
So good. And when they're saying goodbye to his mom, like in the. I was. Oh, good lord.
Mark Normand
