Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This week on Humor me.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I have a father in law who is dying and
has asked me to speak at his funeral. That he's
a pretty awful person.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Your father in law is essentially a prick.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
You're telling this, Yeah, huge prick.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
I read the research. He sounds like everybody attacks him
all the time.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
The poor guy.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Sounds like a saint. Maybe you're the one.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
He went to the Dominican Republic as before he got married,
and he talked to his daughter about this. Correct.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
Yeah, he's got a drinking problem. Much surprised, I'm sure,
but yeah, he got a little too toasted and wanted
to talk to his daughter about what a casanova he
used to be and something.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
You have to say something night show. Yeah, he's got
three half sons in the Yankee.

Speaker 6 (00:54):
I'm sorry my stepbrother, Big Poppy, couldn't be here today.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
Kevin wanted to be cremated, but due to the amount
of rum in a system at his time of death,
he was actually Flombade's killing.

Speaker 7 (01:13):
You.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
My wait is lacking to the MS degree. I'll have
the ag salad with iced tea. Okay, Hello, everybody, Welcome
to Colin Unleashed. I'm your host. Byron Allen. Along with Colin,
we have legendary Conan Staple and writer and now director

(01:40):
Mike Sweeney. Mike, if you don't mind, can I call
you mister fancy director over here? Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Whatever law you want to use, mister big shot sure
director over here.

Speaker 6 (01:52):
It's it was a I think it's a legal requirement.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Good. But I'm going to get to talking about directing
and the craft of it. Yeah, no, with me and you,
because we're both technically directed. Mike directs. In all seriousness,
Conan O'Brien must go the Hilarious show on HBO Max

(02:21):
formerly known as Max formerly known as HBO Max.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
If you do a documentary, it doesn't count the same,
It doesn't.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
You're absolutely right. That's sort of where what I'm getting at.
And if you if you direct a comedy remote, it
counts even less because basically all you're doing is just
getting out of the way, you know, And that's what
I would do with Triumph. Although I have to say
what Mike does on that show, it's it looks a
lot better than that.

Speaker 6 (02:47):
It does.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, yeah, I mean mine, I set the bar so
low so that it would be like, they're so shitty
looking they're so, and I just figured that'll be the charm.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
But I think, yeah, if you have decided to be
like do a serious directing podcast, you tell them to say,
I look at directing.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Like just get out of the way.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Nobody can really argue with that.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, a lot of comedy directors say that, They say,
get out of the way, shoot wide shots, right, and uh,
just don't move. It probably is an excuse just to
make the job easy.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
It's like, I don't know what I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
No.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Actually, once I uh, I put a poll out because
I didn't know what else to do on Twitter, and
it was like, what is the easiest job to fake?
And it was the choices were conducting an orchestra. Bradley
Cooper Oh moderating first take with stephen A. Smith, like

(03:41):
the woman in the middle who's like stephen A looks
like Daniel Jones is coming a lot very well, and
then just wind him up and he just talks for
twenty minutes. And then another one was directing a stand
up comedy special hilarious. But but Jerry, actually Jerry Jerry
directed some of You're sure that probably really did require

(04:03):
some directing. Well, yeah, I'm a little bit of a yeah,
because you did thematic shows. Thematic shows. Yeah, so tell
me how Jerry direct I would put that one earlier.
Did he play a big role because I mean when.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
I mean he plays a role in like organizational stuff,
which I guess is a lot of directing and saying
why are you saying that there isn't that? Why are
you saying that, well, you're gonna do that?

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I really can't.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
I can't, I can't this.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Has anybody ever imitated Jerry Seinfeld? Because I thought that
was pretty groundbreaking.

Speaker 6 (04:36):
One night of Catch Rising in the Star, Richard Belser
and Gilbert They're on stage just doing Seinfelds to each
other for twenty minutes. The crowd loved it.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Of course I just walk it no, no, go go
oh no.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
So Seinfeld walks it, peaks in the room, and so
all the communities are like, oh, what's he gonna do?
Let's se Jerry gonna say when he goes up. So
he goes up on stage and just goes Uh. Is
that a career what those guys were doing? Because I
don't get it.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
But but like, okay, your specials were thematic, but then
there's other specials where it says, directed by and it's
some high profile comedian. That's what I don't understand. It's
like the camera.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
What is the difference between what they do? Here's my question,
and what a director of a play does? You know
what I mean?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (05:20):
No, a play, there's a lot of choreography when people
are moving around. I'm saying a one man show, but
there's probably there's a rhythm.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
No, I'm just saying that I don't understand in a
play choreography moving people around. Well, I mean there is
some place a director of a one person chose the
direct any be directing anything as far as that's gon
turn in theater.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Right, I guess I feel like because so many stand
ups basically work out their acts on their own club
to club, and then suddenly here's the director, and it's like,
what are you going to tell you?

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah, of course you have conflicts all the time. But
I mean that's just stand up personality, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
But the up is the boss. I mean, that's why
the stand up is the much is the director really do? Right?

Speaker 4 (06:04):
But I'm the same of the play. How much is
the director really doing a play?

Speaker 1 (06:08):
I'm telling you, it's just a few more people.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
You know what, I'm just saying, the play, the dialogue
the most important thing.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Just say it's fair.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
It's uh to say one person versus a play with.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
The director always gets the top billing. Was that actually
on stage? The writer? Yeah, the right director is more important?

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Well, let's theylways say the writer was you know, gets dismissed.
That stupid when they had that whatever they call those
you remember in the sixties, because of you know, god
knows guys they made that. Suddenly the director was the.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Important, right Oh tour, Yeah, all the fancy schmancy.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
And then the writers get screwed every time they say
the old joke Do you hear about the Polish? Is
his oldest joke? A Polish and a starlet and really
me too? Sound do you hear about that?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah? Look at the red Listen, somebody don't. Oh you
know what, it's my computer.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Oh I'm not I'm not gonna I'm gonna finishing, We're cutting.
I'm not finishing this crummy Joe. It was bad enough
all it had going through his momentum and that's gone.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
I can't do this.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
Sean shuns.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
No, Sean, Sean can wait, He'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
I don't like make you guys like that way showing
now and then we'll have this conversation.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'll be honest, man.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Just trust me. Okay, we're in deep trouble.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Let's get to Sean. I've been a thousand podcasts.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
I'm like John Joe, seen him in your face? I
rocked them all.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, we are.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
All the time. I despise them about how we hate podcasts.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
All right, I get it. Okay, you we're gonna tell
me a story about Nor. I'm playing pool.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
I'm gonna tell if Sean Sean might give us context.
Was gonnways cut around and make it seem like it's later.
So you're saying that maybe.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
If Sean, maybe, if our interview with Sean is dying
at any point, I'll just tell the Norm story.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Well, yeah, I think that's probably the better way to go.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Okay, because I feel like we have hang over ahead.
If somebody's interjecting this podcast s, You're right, I can
put this is going to add prestige to the podcast.
I'm going to say Humor Me with Robert Smigle and Friends.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Directed by Colin Quinn, written by Sean.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
We will bring on our guest right now, who we
are going to help with the task because he's not
funny enough, right, we'll see, we are going to punch
out what he needs. So let's listen to the message
that Sean left up.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Okay, okay, So I really like the idea for the podcast.
My situation that I think.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Could be ripe for speed enough, buddy, I have a.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Father in law who is dying and has asked me
to speak at his funeral whenever that happens.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
Is I mean, who knows?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
The guy has had this ailment for going on four
years now, and what's I guess hard for me to
speak anything really at his funeral? Would be that he's
a pretty awful person in general, doesn't think of himself

(09:34):
that way, kind of classic narcissist.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
It's pretty terrible to both of his daughters.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
They have weird relationships with him, including my wife. But yeah,
I have no idea. Is just gonna, you know, not
speak even though it's his last wishes so to speak.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
But yeah, that's that's the skinny all right.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Oh, so about norm laying Pool, I think we're ready
for that story. Here we go. We're gonna talk to
Sean right now. Yeah, welcome Sean, thanks for being here.
What are we not seeing Sean? Is he in black?

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Is that the idea he's not seen because he's just.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Is that white? Is that correct? Okay, so we're just
hearing Sean today.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
You can turn your camera on if you're comfortable.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
We were gonna, yeah, Sean, were gonna pixelate your face,
or we're gonna put a or maybe we can put
a filter and make it put Byron Allen's face.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
And we're still gonna slow down voice.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Right, Okay, we're not slowing down his voice. Hi, Sean,
thanks for coming on. Uh, Sean again, it's not his
real name because this is a touching situation. You know,
there are people involved in his family.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
I suggested for an alias Kevin Spacey, but he went
with Sean and that's okay, different strokes, folks. So Sean, Oh.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
Sean looks like a great dramatic actor.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah he does. He's got real again, the audience isn't
going to get to see that.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah, I show him in Beckett.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Well, no, he's dressed nineteen eight. Dark clothes will create
a worth a shadow on one side of his face.
I'm just trying to paint a picture as very neatly
how much of the how much can I describe? To
be careful? Here we spill the beans neatly cropped.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
You can just say dark, handsome, mysterious.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
You know, yes, there is only three other people like that,
so you're you're safe. Sure, Okay, let's just talk a
little bit about the weirdness of assassinating your father in
law's character at a funeral. You really feel other relatives
would laugh at this and enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah, his his wife doesn't laugh.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
Harder at anything than you know, him being the butt
of the joke something.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Somebody mayking fun of him.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
But so does my wife. Once I'm bad, I'm not sure.
I'm not sure that once I'm dead, and then my
funeral should be bringing on more of that. Yeah, but
but your dad, your father in law, is essentially a prick.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
You're telling us, Yeah, huge, prick.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Huge, But really, the research this is very subjective. I
read the research. She sounds like you attacks him all
the time, the poor guy.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
You're like, yeah, what pick?

Speaker 4 (12:27):
He showed you them all the time. It sounds like
a saint. Maybe you're the one.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Maybe maybe now I am like him. I think it's earned.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Stephen A seems to disagree with you about start screaming, Yeah,
you get to be uh mad dog Russo you said
he beats his dog though, right, oh my god, you're
going right the darkest stuff.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, that's not the dog.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Your stuff beat the dog. Is it strange when his
gay brother? Yeah, okay, so the beating of the dog
isn't the worst thing.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
But he just strange his gay brother. But that was
in the late sixties.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Give him are tell us about Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Yeah? He did.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
His brother was a straight man or very closeted, as
Norm McDonald would say, maybe deeply closeted.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
Was setting this up.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
But until probably like the seventies, he was married to
a woman who they're still kind of friends with. But
he came out and said, yeah, I'm actually gay and
I'm going to move to San Francisco to go be gay.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
And that's like going to Chicago to study in broad.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I don't recommend that either.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, upright, citizen gay Brigade.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
You get the most, you get the most action, most
stage time.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
So she was pretty quick.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
But yeah, he his brother just yeah, pretty much dis
owned him.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Then. Okay, I wonder if oh, yeah, I met the brother.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Do you think you could be not a gay thing.
Maybe the brother's kind of a dick.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
Well, they're from the same family, so yeah, he's a
just inherently. But yeah, the way he said, it's like, oh, yeah,
my brother disowned me, Like we eventually, like you know,
our past came back together, but lots of people disowned
me back then, so he kind of brushed it off
like it was nothing.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Right.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
So they being forty years ago, are.

Speaker 6 (14:27):
They friendly again then presently or yeah, oh they are Okay.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Now, some people in your family think that your father
in law himself is deeply closeted. Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah, he's you know, he and thea Sorry.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
I mean, I mean probably it's it's some sort of
inner source of it, because some days I believe that
he he is closet in other days I don't.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
But other people suggested it to you that he might
have a crush on you. Is that correct.

Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yeah, My wife and also her sister believe that he
has some sort of crush on me. We were me
and my wife for our baby moon, like ten years ago,
went to France, went to the southern part of France,
went to Monaco, and we were just kind of retelling,
like you know what we did.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
We had pictures.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
And you know, in Monico there's these like great, kind
of decadent casinos with these hundred thousand, two hundred thousand
dollars cars like parked out in front of it, and
we told them about how we went in and we gambled,
and you know, we tell him about all of this,
and his takeaway was, you know, Sean, I'd really like
you to go to a casino with me and wear tuxedos.

(15:42):
I just kind of listened to that and kind of
dismissed it. But there's a lot of instances like that,
and I think, well.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
I think that's more like this. It's more like just
a lonely guy who wishes he had a best friend
and they were two cool guys and tuxedos going to
you know, casinos, Little James Monta.

Speaker 5 (15:59):
And you could hang out with the guy if you want.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
Pot dog beater.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
It checks all the bodies. You're gonna give a funny eulogy.
You know he's gonna be funny at that eulogy.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah, he's got he's a funny eye.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
You have a good dead pan, very dead pan.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Shut up there and say, not the most warmest guy.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Yeah, it's the whole premise of you know, giving some
sort of eulogy like I'm I'm fucked up in that
I have insomnia, like really bad insomnia. So a strategy
to like go to bed is to like talk about
how grateful you are for certain people like in your life, right,
and you you almost like write eulogies like doing that.

(16:38):
And I've done it for years, and you know, I
tried to do it, like with him, to at least
find some anecdotes like within it, and there's I really
have nothing. So I've been to a funeral before, like
my great grandpa. I was little, but I still remember this.
He was a hard ass Italian guy who was definitely
connected to the mob in some way or other, but

(17:00):
ever really explicit about it, because that's just not something
Italian people do. But after the Catholicism like part of
the funeral, they ask people to come up and say
some nice words about him, and nobody got up except
for one guy. Old guy stood up in the back
and said his brother was meaner and that's that's kind

(17:22):
of what this is. This is going to be like.
And if I could turn it into something that is
more of a roast, more of like an Irish wake.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
His brother was gayer, right, good, that's a good one.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
But yeah, like if I turn onto something.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
It's always funny if it appears that you're attempting to
say something nice but ultimately insulting, that's right.

Speaker 6 (17:44):
Yeah, you know, because you could get you could get
sued by the cadaver if you're not careful.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
And I.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
Landmark case.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
He's very litigious, so sue.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Me up on his line of work. He had a
good show and then he let it go ahead.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
He he started off in like securities. He was part
of a company out here that ended up going belly
up and really screwed all of their employees.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
But he went from that.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
To uh he was a tour guide, wasn't he.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (18:16):
From there he went to the Mint and was a
tour guide for that. He loves coins, it's one of
his passions. I don't understand why, but it seemed like
the perfect job for him, and for whatever reason, he
had a personality disagreement with one of his higher ups
and just kind of up and quit.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
I think that he was.

Speaker 6 (18:40):
A tour guide. Usually those are bubbly, loving you know,
that kind of job.

Speaker 5 (18:45):
But yeah, it's he's so hard to describe in the
sense that like if you were to meet him just
on kind of a surface level, you're like, oh, this
is a nice, kind of bubbly guy. But then the
more you linger around him, you start to see what Yeah,
just like that, without the without the sodomy, that's.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
No fun was there. And he was a flower delivery
person as well.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
He delivered flower I think he went from retirement to
needing money at some point or other and he uh
was delivering flowers. And that job didn't last very long
because he kept locking the keys in his van and
having to call dispatch to get somebody out there to
unlock the van. And after maybe like the third time
this happened, he overheard them on their radio channel that's

(19:36):
like h ship for brains, locked himself out of the
car again, and upon hearing that, he quit in dramatic fashion.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
No one he started.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah, from there, he started driving old people around in
a bus to different events, and not really a.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Bus, more of not for money.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
That was just a hot.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:59):
He he loved them, they loved him, but he kept
crashing the bus into different things, like a parking garage
that has you know, clear signs of.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Attention to it.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Yes, what not to do?

Speaker 5 (20:14):
Yeah, but he had too many accidents so he lost that.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
None of these stories are the stories of a bad guy.
They're just a clutchy guy.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
I didn't want to say. It's a little lovable.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Sean has no I heard he loves Sean. Oh, people
love him. But he gets an accident and he was
abused and bullied by the caud dispatcher.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
What a brick, Thank you, steven A your response, and
he wanted to buy you a to Yes, you know, yeah,
tuxedos are gay, right, just.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
Like I don't think tuxedos are gay. I think going
to Monaco specifically.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
With distinction, Yes, touxedos in Monaco.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
The fire island of Europe.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
Now, you know, you say, hey, look, his kids didn't
like him, but I'd rather be his kids and his dog.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's not tell us why he hit the dog. Why
did he hit the dog?

Speaker 5 (21:23):
There's some there's some power dynamic, like you'd look at
these like poor traumatized dogs, and like we'd be leaving
for dinner or something like that, and he'd tell one
dog to lay down in this one part of the
living room and then we would leave and you'd see
him like sitting there like in the in the driveway,

(21:43):
and we're like, what are you doing? And he's like, Oh,
I'm gonna wait for a couple of minutes to go
see if the dog is listening to me and obey me.

Speaker 6 (21:52):
Well, it was a bit joking, arap. Was he an
ex mailman or something or yeah, you also said he
complained a lot, like I think we need stories like
that everyone in that church or wherever you're going to
do this eulogy where they they all know about him
other than so put aside how lovable he is.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
As far as stories that other people will be able
to relate to. He treats Facebook like YELP in a
way like if he needs to complain about something, he
will post on his Facebook to his one hundred or
so friends that, oh, don't use this realtor she was
super terrible.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
In the negotiation of.

Speaker 5 (22:36):
Of our place, or don't ever go to this Walgreens.
They have no idea what kind of like photograph influencer.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
He's an influencer.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, so rival companies could this is a new kind
of influencer who just shits on rivals and companies could
be paying him and their hands are clean.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
What I'm getting, Why are you doing a podcast?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Then that's I should just have to triumph be a
de influencer. Yeah, no one will trust you. I trust them. Okay,
so norm playing pool? No, we'll get to it. So
there are a couple of things that played in my

(23:24):
head as inappropriate behavior to your children. For example, he
went to the Dominican Republic as before he got married,
and he talked to his daughter about this.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Correct, Yeah, he's got a drinking problem.

Speaker 5 (23:37):
Much surprised, I'm sure, but yeah, he got a little
too toasted and wanted to talk to his daughter about
what a casanova he used to be. And then she
started doing the math in her head about around what
kind of timeline this was like, oh, well when did
you go to you know, the Dominican Republic And it's like, oh.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah it was it was this year.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
Wait, no, no, no, it was this year and it
aligned very much with you know, right before he got
married to my mother in law.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Okay. And then one night he was was he drunk?
He left cinemax on his TV when his daughter was very.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Young, Yeah, she was having a sleepover with a bunch
of friends, probably like eight nine years old, and he
got too drunk passed out while watching skin Amax, which
back in the teaches, you know, young kids unanatomic ways
of how to have sex, so unanatomic ways. Yeah, like

(24:33):
you get these misconceptions about where you know, certain parts
were because of what they were doing for the camera.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Whatever.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Well it was good to snooping in that room anyway, Well,
or he should have.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
They lived on a try They lived on a try level,
and there was no door going to my wife's room snooping.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
I think the lesson is that you should fall asleep
to more responsible pornography than skin Amax something. And so
the daughter and her friends ended up watching it. Yeah,
somebody wants to hear the norm story.

Speaker 6 (25:11):
Sean's rethinking this whole. Maybe Colin's look, you.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Get up there, you just say listen, as you all know,
he hit on me a few times. Any other guys here,
All right, I'm a good looking guys. You can see
I have a fierce kind of a you know, early sixties,
you know, angry young man, pretty theater look.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
But Colin's just going to turn this into a roasted view,
which is okay.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Then you go, you know, he loved coins, and then
you look at the casket and go, hey, Papa, heads
of tails, You flick at penny and you walk off.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
The big exit. Well, let's talk about the passive aggressive approach.

Speaker 6 (25:56):
Yeah, I thought maybe maybe one way to do it
about him is to say, you know, he was a
tour guide and I got a hold of the comment
cards from people who took his tour, and then you
could read the cards and write stuff kind of shitting
on him on the cards, right, And then.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
It was very knowledgeable about coins, but he had I
sensed he had this might be hitting his dog night.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
But yeah, like stuff like that. And then and then
if anyone goes, oh, you can go, hey, I'm just
reading I'm just reading what's on the cards cards?

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah no, And you could set that up by saying,
you know, he touched so many people in his life,
and rather than me talking about it, why don't we
hear from some of the people whose lives he touched,
whose lives he touched. And then you start reading yell
reviews from you know, different jobs you told me he had.
He actually did get yelp reviews from one of.

Speaker 6 (26:52):
His jobs a landscaper.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
That's good, yes, landscaping. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
Yeah, we don't know if this was exactly him, but
it fit this ription of him that he was. And
then in his sleeping on the job essentially that's great.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
So we could start with real ones. Yeah, and then
just every job and every job he had and get
more and more personal.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
That's great starting with real ones. I think it's great.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, and you could do h.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
Then it could be you actually I filled one out
or you know, my wife, that's.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Really vulgar, and it's like, okay, that was mine.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
Okay, that was that was I gotta confess.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
And then you do his his Yelp reviews that he
used Facebook for Yelp, Like you said, see here's some
of his comments to people in case you're feeling bad
about how people feel about it.

Speaker 6 (27:38):
Yeah, if he really complains a lot about everything, you
could say, you know, through a clerical error, he's in
heaven right now and I'm being told you like you're
getting updates from heaven about stuff he's complaining about. Yeah, yeah,
like he's complaining about you know, I want to cumulo
nimbus cloud and the fucking serious. But uh yeah, maybe

(28:01):
it's him complaining he's you know.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Like Mercury right right there up here. Yeah, different famous
dead people that he's got issues with, so maybe something
like that. He just beat the ship out of Lassie
out of six six different Lassies. Nighting Dogs is so.

Speaker 6 (28:26):
Funny, and you know, at least you put them in heaven.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
So that's yeah, Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yeah. I mean he's up there jamming with Gacy and Norm.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
They're playing pool.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Oh too soon? Sorry, yeah, not Norm, the pool stories
too soon exactly.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
You guys just gave you a brigid structure.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Well we'll we'll, you know, we'll do more than that.
We'll come up with some more stuff and then you'll
come back and you'll you'll read us what we send
you and see how much you like it.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
He's gonna write right now.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
No, no, we're not going to No, well there's five.
He's very droll, very dead band. You know. Somebody else
suggested we have a group of friends here who I
call them the hehaw honeys because they're partly there to laugh.
So heaw Fana Feldman, David Cyrus, Amanda Melson, brilliant writers

(29:22):
who have helped me in the past. Let's see Hannah suggested,
what if you what if you advertise as a state
sale during the funeral and you can read descriptions of
make believe things that he owns. That's good will kind
of represent his personality, and.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
He's into his states.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
He loves the state sales, right, Yeah, that was something
that that was in your notes. Yes, so it'd be
like turning his love for a state sales against him.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
Oh and he's also a metal detector guy, right.

Speaker 5 (29:50):
He bought a couple of them and would look all
over for different treasures and would find coins that nobody
would care about, but a belt annual currents I would
I would lose my wedding ring within the leaves that
I was picking up, and he would be Johnny on
the spot, get there as fast as he could.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
And again help.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
I think, Yeah, he was happy to have a purpose
that day.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
Saving your marriage.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
What a prick like? I said? Was there something about
him joining the priesthood? There somewhere he was as he
was a freemason, so that you could say that when
he was young, he was a freemason and perhaps he
considered joining the priesthood, but he chose instead to skip

(30:36):
that step and go right to fondling me. That's something
there's Dave, Dave Cyrus.

Speaker 7 (30:47):
I thought that you could also do stuff with you know,
will you start with a compliment such as you know.
One thing he did right is he he helped create
your wonderful wife. And based on how gay he probably was,
that took determination and sacrifice.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
That's good.

Speaker 6 (31:03):
Going to the.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Gay will a lot. And his love of Monica is
a giveaway.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
Probably.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Yeah, I'm kidding so much. I didn't know how gay
Monica was.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Never I never that, but it sounds when he said
it made sense.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Listen the case it resonates with sixty five year old order.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Can we clarify?

Speaker 5 (31:25):
Is your father in law an actual leprechaun.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
In Hannah's defense, Irish people are among the very last
minorities that we can make fun of that mission to
make fun. I'm surprised I haven't done this whole interview
in a brogue just just because I can. Like everybody
else I have on here, I can't.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
How do we know this man's eye?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Well?

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Here, he was Irish. He's got a bad drinking problem.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Look, I had an Irish grandfather.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
I know a thing or two very Irish, and he
loves the coins like the Leprecaun.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
That's an Irish thing because that's a Jewish thing to supposedly,
so I'm told based on some jokes that I've read, well,
how tall is five nine? So I think that's enough
racism for one show. This is twenty twenty six or
whatever this is airing, and you know, if.

Speaker 6 (32:20):
It's an Irish roast, you're gonna slam them. I think
I gets sentimental at the very end in it. Even
if anyone had problems with him getting roasted, their hearts
will melt at the end.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (32:33):
Something you have to say.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Something showing yeah does would be the hardest task.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yes, the last sentence, well, you could say something like,
you know, based on how many women he claims to
have had sex within the Dominican Republic, He's clearly not
afraid to spend money.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
He's got three half sons in the Yankee.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
I'm sorry, none of whom we're here tonight.

Speaker 6 (33:02):
You're sorry my stepbrother, Big Poppy, couldn't be here today.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Is there any chance that he could die soon? Because
it would be great to actually do this.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's Frank, our producer, who is the one the only
podcast with a producer who is a cartoon sewer rat.
Very proud of that. Frank Smiley, Go ahead, Frank, Why
isn't he dead? When's he gonna die? Yes, that's my question.
I mean, is it best thang for our buck would
be if we got you to do it at the funeral?

(33:38):
So what are the chances that he might grow broke?

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Ye, it's very possible. It could be soon. I'll say
that you can't.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
He's another sign of big on gift giving. He always
wants to give gift people, another sign.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Of a p He's great.

Speaker 7 (33:59):
It could tell are loves he likes the Beatles. That's hello, goodbye.
He loves the Beatles and hello goodbye. You are the
only thing is this, kids say to him on the holidays.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Yeah, things, I'm only sleeping. Can name all the beetles.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
That's a good area. He also wanted to hold my hand.

Speaker 6 (34:19):
We're getting not well known. I locked my keys in
the car again. They did the arty.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Oh I'm sorry, it's all good.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
You need to go about this is this is up
there with the cinemat?

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah, right? Is everything? Okay? Do you want to take
a moment? You're okay? Okay.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
The kids are like, why are you disparaging Grandpa's good name?

Speaker 3 (34:59):
They know what kids like.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
It wasn't skin Amax, it was public access. Yeah, it
was a Robin Bird show. Those of us over sixty. George,
that's a deep cut. Yeah, all right, I think we
have enough fodder. Yeah, so he has to write it
in coullback. I'm going to work on it, but I'll

(35:22):
probably lean on Sweeney a little bit, even though he's
I would love to lean on Colin.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
I'm busy, guys, I'm busy, and so it is father
in law.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Right, somehow or another, we'll get something together for you
and then you'll come back. Yeah, we got a lot
of we got a lot of potential here. We're going
to come back at the end of the show where
we talk to you about how you like it. You'll
read it to us.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Remember it's the first draft.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Writing is rewriting. Well, thank you so much for coming,
and we'll see you in the epilogue after this commercial message.
Wait before we go, Norm MacDonald, I understand played hocket
Billiards with you and you have I understand you have

(36:11):
an amusing short.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Are we doing that story now?

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah? So to back it up, I was we were talking.
I don't remember why this came up.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
You were ranting about how the bowling alley got replacedment
at Studies.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yes, the best bowling alley in New York City was
Beacon Lanes on seventy sixth and Broadway. I believe forty
there by the way I did, I did. That's amazing.
There a lot that I really did. I'll tell you
what that is the thing. I'm good. It's five strikes
and podcasting.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Five strikes and eight spares.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
That's very good math. But that's that would not be
a two forty. That was more strikes there were. Yeah,
I was pushing it with two hands, and it was like, no,
that's real, bully. No, But that's the least of it.
It was a beautiful bowling alley and David Brenner bought
the property. It took over the property and made a
yuppie pool hall all out of it.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
And you were telling me about David Brenner being how
he closed his act.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
Oh, so he'd go to the comedy clubs and would
be sitting in the comic club and then he'd walk
in and they go which I say, goes nothing, and
he just waved the less act to walk up there
and you walk on stage slowly, do an empty stage
a comedy club, and who crowds like you know, and
they get up there to do his act did really
well and Brian is a legend. And then as he's closing,

(37:26):
he goes, thank you guys for.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Helping me work this out.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
This is I've worked out the eighty seven Tonight shows.
I've done these other comedians for Gass for gas and
he's like these other young comedians, God bless.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
I wish I could do what they do.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
They sit at home in their computer Buffalo jokes, Buffalo.
I can't work that way, So I wish I could
I with you people and.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Work like he's mister Nasal.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
Of course goes, so I want to thank you, and
he just leave silently like David.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Such a classy, passive, aggressive yeah, way to wrap up show.

Speaker 6 (38:05):
He was on Conan once and he wanted me to
work with him on he was going to show a
video at a Taxi Durney store and then he was
gonna do panel. Yeah, and he just goes, you know, so,
I don't know how long the panel's going to be.
He goes, if it's three minutes, I'll do three minutes
on cats and dogs screams. Yes, if it's two minutes,

(38:29):
I've got two.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
I could just do dogs.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
Scream screams and if you know it's really tight, you know,
I'll do one quick joke screams.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yeah, yeah, took me. I was like, no, Conan told
me this story. Yeah, he would just break down his
act scream screams, screams, screams, just very casually, you know.

Speaker 6 (38:48):
So I shot him after the show, just saying screams
to camera, going screams, screams.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
I wanted to edit it and did he know that
you were making fun of it?

Speaker 6 (39:00):
I don't know how I finessed it, but I wanted
to edit it into the show after just after just
putting it OD. But it never happened.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
So I led just when I went to the Amstam
Buddies when it opened.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Oh wait, one more thing about David Brennan, Conan. Conan
showed me. I guess Conan was assigned to give him
to work on a screenplay. David Brenner wrote, like back
when comedians were doing you know, after after Annie Hall
and Woody Allen. It was masterpiece, but a lot of
comedians wanted to do, like, you know, their version. Albert

(39:35):
Brooks did his pretty good, some people say great. Steve
Martin ultimately did his Los Angeles one, and uh, David
Brenner wrote one, and Conan showed it to me. Of course,
there's the sidekick buddy, and usually, you know, there's a
little bit of dignity and the way this is written,
they always, you know, make themselves look kind of good,
you know how comedians sometimes they'll write themselves like really

(39:57):
cool dialogue when they're talking to women. Yeah, that's always
kind of creepy, like watching them be incredibly smooth. But
in this case, David Brenner is walking with his sidekick
buddy whoever it is, his Tony Roberts, and the guy
is saying to him, why are you always so upset?
You're great looking, you got women crawling, you got women

(40:20):
crawling up your ass. And David Brenner's just you know
there with the part in the middle and the long
shaggy seventies little know, it's just slow.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
It is David Brennan. When I was a kid, I
was watching comedians, you know tea. I was twelve and
David Brennan came on with that shag haircut and the
open shirt and the gold chains and that light brown
leather jacket, and I go, that's a cool guy doing
stand up and you meant it.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
It's like nineteen seventy whatever. That's a badass and he's
up there. Yeah. I was like, that's the way to
do it. I will say I did a cartoon about him,
and it was a very good sport about it. It
was a cartoon where he he's giving it was I
used to do this thing fun with real audio, which,
by the way, you were a lot of people at
SNL were annoyed that I did cartoons, like taking up

(41:09):
four minutes of time. That could have been the thing
that Lauren cut. But two people in my time at
SNL doing cartoons came up to me and would say
they would say that was great. And one of them
was Amy Poehler and the other one was was Common.
So thank you Amy.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
I don't need to thank you.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Amy. If you remember who I am, I was the
Jewish guy who did forget it. She doesn't remember, But
so anyway, did David I did? Oh yes, so it
did David Brenner cartoon and I cut together like three
talk show appearances and made it one story. It was
one long story about you know, you know how David

(41:52):
Brenner would tell long, shiny dog stories on talk shows.
So I had him on like David Letterman, and David
Letterman's getting kind of anxious, like as he's talking, and
I cut to David Letterman, like and then he finally
like presses a button and let and Brander falls through
a trap door and lands on Regis and Kathy Lee

(42:14):
and like without missing it being continuing the same still anyway,
if you've ever been on the subway, people would and
they're just ah, yeah, they're really being friendly, and then
they just can't take it anymore. They press a button
and eventually it goes to like Tom Snyder and he's
already got his finger on the button and it goes throws.

(42:34):
That was my wife's joke. She always comes up with
the funniest part of the sketch. Yeah, but anyway, David Brenner,
that was really funny. You know, I got to give
you credit. Yeah, He's like, yeah, I don't know, I
don't know if he was doing it politically, but I
feel terrible about the last ten minutes of the show. No,
he had so many women, like, yeah, he had women

(42:56):
crawling up his hands. Really that he married ty Babylonia.
You remember her, what he did Tied Babyloney and Randy Gardner.
She was, whoa, it's very attractive. And also you pitied
me the seventies or late early eighties tying Randy anyway, God, okay,
So now he ruined this bowling alley with this yuppie pool.

Speaker 4 (43:16):
So let me and Norm go there when we when
the first open, I think, and we go there, and
I was explaining like that you will know Norm, Norm,
we weren't in on the joke. Nobody was in on
the joke with Norm either, by the way, so you
don't know. So it was just you know, it was
him or just one giant troll. And so when we

(43:40):
still playing polioes, I love to play pool, I said, hey,
we can play poolingoes.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
I love pool, Like, oh good, you play pool.

Speaker 4 (43:47):
He goes, no, I'd like to play now, Like okay, so.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
We got play pool.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
So I think I'm TEGM how to play pool, and
he goes, how do you do it? So as you
show him and he goes like this, but you could
he must have played before, because you when you first drive,
you did what he did, you rip the table. So
he just takes the bull killed. It's like a bunch
of people in there, you know, it's like a new
yuppie place, like you said. And suddenly he wow, he
smashes the cue ball so hot it knocks almost like

(44:15):
half the balls off the table, flying all over the
balls like ay, and then I'm like scoy to pick
them up. He's acting like, you know, he just won
the game. And then I go, you know, really, I
hit it too high. And then later we're playing again.
We keep playing and then he's like hitting the ball,
he's only hitting it too hard, but then smash you

(44:37):
off the.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Table again, like and just anytime.

Speaker 4 (44:41):
And he did the same thing with basketball.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
We played basketball.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
He goes, yeah, I like, and then he then we
had to go play pool after that first game.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
I forgot to say.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Then he's like, let's go play pool tonight. He wanted
to go every night and we want to like were
like eight times and every time he played the same way,
really and oh, I forgot to say. So he's like,
it's like a nice yuppy new play. He starts cursing
and screaming if the ball went off the table, if
he didn't get ready, he starts screaming, like everyone's jumping up.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
This is so perfect. I believe that he partly did
it because it was such a stuffy yuppy so like
he's he's he's like trolling everybody in the place, correct,
as opposed to if it was like a beaten down
old place where with old guys, those those guys. Yeah,
he would never have sucked around.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
Like no, he would have been like talking to them
and like, hey, you love those guys.

Speaker 6 (45:36):
Try to show him like norm you know, just take nothing.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
He just kept away from the table. You know.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
It's like because he was screaming and cursing and I
love things and yelling like you'd yell like hey, even
if he was happy, he liked to cause a ruckus.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
You know.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Well, thanks for thanks for that story, Thanks for helping out.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Thank you, and good luck to showing me. I'd like,
you know, results you.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Look to the father law.

Speaker 6 (46:02):
I kind of hope he goes another twenty years, just as.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
Oh, come on, not Frank. Frank's like, Frank, what can
we do? How can we make this way for shot?

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Do we have the budget to fly it you no where.

Speaker 6 (46:18):
Steal is coin collection, numismatics.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Got a thing that needs to be funnier? Tell us
about it at speakpipe dot com. Slash humor meaning if
you're like me, and I know you guys are just
like me, Yes, jewish yes, or a baseball cap to
cover your receding hairline. That's okay, that's okay, I'm not
judging you. If you're like me, you tend to feel
guilty about the products you advertise on your podcast. Indiscriminately,

(46:47):
you present seemingly casual conversations that are only designed to
hawk a product. Am I right? Absolutely? Yeah? How many
times have you been part of these kind of Oh
my god, yeah, I lost the hawk of product that
I know little or nothing about. Well, thankfully, there's a
new product on the market that alleviates those nagging feelings

(47:08):
of guilt that every podcaster wrestles with. It's called Rashie
r a t io y Rashie, the new app that
rationalizes every disagreeable action that you take. You simply type
in here, I'll do it now. Simply type in the
unpleasant feeling that you have, and you describe what you

(47:29):
did to get that feeling, and Rashie does the rest.
So here let me demonstrate. Yeah, it's spelled like, but
it's rashy because you're rationalizing here and that.

Speaker 6 (47:38):
Let me help you out here the way it's spelled.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Okay, here we go. I pretended to like a movie
with Julia Roberts that I didn't even watch in order
to satisfy the obligations that come with hosting a show
that makes me feel relevant and whole, even as I

(48:05):
know deep down I am neither. Okay, let's see what
she says. Oh, here's the readout. You work very hard,
and there's nothing wrong with wanting a little recognition for that.
It's called being human. If telling a few white lies
this is great. If telling a few white lies about

(48:25):
some products is the cost of feeling better about yourself
so that you can be a better husband and father
to your kids, that's a pretty good investment in your
family's well being. Wow, it's a really good rationalization. Sorry,
Julie Roberts. The movie, it was their new movie. What's

(48:49):
it called? After the Hunch? Yeah? Oh, I did a
glowing ad for it. I didn't see it. I don't
like her written. She was she was mean, to Conan
once on The David Letterman Show, she written, not a fan,
but I guess I gosh, Oh wait, there's more. There's
more rationalization here. Oh this is good. Do you think

(49:12):
Elton John really eats the rito's at his age? Of
course not. But he has two beautiful young children that
he wants to impress by doing a Super Bowl ad
since they don't appreciate his music. He's human and he
works hard. Yeah, just like me. I work hard. Yeah,
and that's just for podcast hosts, but Rashie works for

(49:35):
anybody's nagging guilty. Do you have anything you feel guilty
about that you'd like to feel about?

Speaker 6 (49:41):
I got plenty.

Speaker 4 (49:43):
Let me think about it.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Were you Mike Chamien? Something you feel?

Speaker 6 (49:48):
Something you feel if Sean? If Sean is still listening,
Uh here.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
I got I got one for you. I have suckled
at the teat of Conan O'Brien. That's correct for thirty
five for half my life.

Speaker 6 (50:05):
If they're only they don't make it worse.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
Thirty for almost last, almost half mine.

Speaker 6 (50:11):
It was more than half.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
I'd kill myself almost less than half.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
All while secretly hating him. I'm sorry. I know you
don't want that out. But I just think I wanted
to work for you.

Speaker 6 (50:21):
Yeah, you told me I want to sell the product.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Yeah, he told me.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
The people of India despised Conate from his behavior.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Again, I told that that will cut out. That I
will cut out.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
The nation of India despises con Despite.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
My hatred, I have won Emmys and praise, yes, and
that's important to me. No praise, but not praise from Conan.

Speaker 6 (50:50):
No, I mean from anyone. Well, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
No, no, I'm going to use that. No, I haven't
gotten enough. I'm still not satisfied. No, not after I
feel guilty that I am not satisfied with one of
the few steady jobs in comedy.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
Especially these days, right in these times, that is.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Fun and easy and cushy, and only requires me to
overcome my guilt of leeching. Yes, that's my situation, shamelessly ing,
sorry Jesus, shamelessly le Okay, let me put that in
and oh here we go. You wait a minute. You

(51:36):
work very hard, and there's nothing wrong with wanting. It's
saying the same thing it said to me. I wanting
a little recognition for that. It's called being human. If
sucking up to someone you hate. Is the cost of
feeling better about yourself so that you can be a
better husband than father to your kids. That's a pretty
investment in your family's walk came. Okay, fuck this, fuck

(51:58):
this app. Sorry, I feel bad. Wait a minute, I
can't feel bad because it's my spot Rashie, the app
that helps you rationalize in real time. You're guilt almost anything.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
I feel guilty a little bit.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Okay, stinky, what do you feel guilty about? The bit's over.
I thought that was a good ending. I thought that
was a good ending for the bed. But I mean,
what am I going to do with yours? I'll just
type in the same thing.

Speaker 4 (52:29):
Yeah, the floor you do it.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
The funnier it gets, the more people walk out of
the podcast, the funnier it is. Sorry, Frank, go ahead.
I just feel guilty about contracting Colin about this podcast.
Oh okay, he did have a button.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
There's your button, Colin.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
That's good? Are you? You wouldn't care if I am?
It's he's he's delighting if in your upsess, he wants
you to be up exactly. It's okay, all right, I'm Rashi. Hi,

(53:16):
we're back. We're back. We're back to find out what
happened to Sean. As you know, we all gave him advice,
and that was what about fifteen minutes ago. Yeah, yeah,
in the interim, well, you and I wrote wrote it out,
and he went and ran it by people and no,

(53:38):
Colin got back to his house in that amount of time,
and I grew a beard. You know what in the
I'm going to be straight with you, it hasn't been
fifteen minutes, okay, full disclosure, It's been a few months.
And one of the things that happened within those few
months is that Mike Sweeney here was a major contributor

(54:02):
to Conan O'Brien's Oscar performance. Whoa, this is my fault.
Oh no, it was magnificent. I want to ask you
about one specific moment, okay that made me laugh harder.
And the whole show was funny, really funny, But there
was a moment between like between acts, a commercial break

(54:27):
thing where it's like the Oscar is the eighty fourth
annual or whatever the year it was. We'll be back
in a moment after this commercial message, and what we
saw was Conan in a lab coat with slides of
what was it chest ex just chest X rays and
he's got maybe a pointer and he's explaining the chest

(54:47):
X rays to who those are? The producers of the show.
Producers of the show. They just was like regular citizens.

Speaker 6 (54:53):
Yeah, that's it, and that's it's fifteen seconds seconds.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Yeah, it's just typical backstage kind of shot at the Oscars,
except Conan's in a lab coat explaining it's the best.

Speaker 6 (55:08):
Well last year, the day before the Oscars, I said,
we're doing this fifteen second where you're just talking to
the producers.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Oh, I say.

Speaker 6 (55:18):
Conan immediately was like, wait.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
What, I'm just talking to them.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
Just do that right.

Speaker 6 (55:22):
So he's like, I have to say right on the spot.
He said, I want a map of Europe.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
Oh good, and I want to forget that, okay, and
and so and that was.

Speaker 6 (55:33):
The fifteen seconds of him gesturing to a map of
your I think World War two Europe with a pipe.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
Nothing better. Yes. So then this year the yes, the
corniest part of the show. I thought it was brilliant writing.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
Who did you who wrote that in memoriam segment?

Speaker 6 (55:50):
Well, it was our idea to break it into three
long segments.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Yeah, that was that was That was very funny. The
idea of Robert red for dying. Who came up with that?

Speaker 4 (56:00):
Sean is seething right now.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
This isn't all about Okay, Sean, you had your I'm
gonna let you finish, Sean. But Sean's learned about show
business exactly. No, I just I haven't seen Sweeney in
a few months, and this is pretty cool. So Sean,
in the months that have passed, we wrote the eulogy

(56:25):
for you. For your father in law. He didn't die, correct, No,
what went wrong? What happened?

Speaker 3 (56:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (56:35):
His cardiovascular system is failing, his liver's failing, his lungs
are failing. I'm not sure, to be honest, so apologies
to I have my way already be in the ground.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Well, is there anyone we can sue?

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Is?

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Because iHeart lawyers are very powerful.

Speaker 5 (56:55):
The emergency physicians that put a stint in him three
months ago, we can, we can bitch about them.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
There's nothing you could up.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
It's it's fine. What's done is done as well, might
as well, you know, might as well deal with it.
He's alive. Colin loves the guy. So Colin's well, what
I did was, you guys came up with a lot
of funny ideas. Uh, and Mike and I kind of

(57:30):
how would you describe it? We wrote it out and
then sent it and then what we called EMIL sent
by email is put on a document, a Microsoft word
document sent to email through email to Sean, and Sean, you,

(57:50):
all we could do is have you practice. So we
just decided to have you stage a eulogy in front
of some friends of yours who knew who know your
father in law? Correct, yes, okay? And where did they stay?
Where did you do this?

Speaker 5 (58:11):
We did it at a friend's house. He was kind
of going through somewhat of a crisis, so all these
people from all over the state, all over the country
came and hung out with him while he was going
through this. But it happened to be a good time
to inject some levity into the situation.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
I love that a eulogy, a guy practicing a eulogy
is injecting levity into his situation. A roast. It is
like a roast, the eulogy is and the guy's not dead.
So it really played like a roast, a future eulogy.
And you did this in his backyard. Yes, So that

(58:50):
feels kind of like kind of deathy, you know, like
doing it outside, you know, by a cemetery or something
like that kind of eulogy. Some people do that, just
bury the guy and there in.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
Front of a fire.

Speaker 5 (59:02):
So it could have been like, you know, a Viking fi.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
Yeah, something nice. And we tried to give you as
many jokes as we could, most of which some of
which we pitched in the moment, some of which came
out of like some of Mike's. Mike had some general areas,
why don't we listen to what you did? We recorded
it and uh, and then we'll kind of analyze how

(59:25):
you did. Ready, everybody, first, thank you all for being here.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
Uh, for so many of you who knew Kevin.

Speaker 5 (59:33):
I know this must be hard for you all show
up to his funeral. You know, before Kevin passed, he
asked me to say some things at his funeral. He
wasn't sick at the time. I think he just brought
up the idea of dying to cheer me up. That's
the kind of guy he was, you say, in tragedy,
there is often joy, or at least based on how

(59:54):
happy his widow seems. But I'm here for you, Kevin.
As you know, Kevin wanted to be cremated, but due
to the amount of rum in his system at his
time of death, he was actually flombaide. Let it be said,
this man was a wonderful husband who never laid a

(01:00:15):
hand on his wife, not even a hug or kisser.
A father who didn't just teach his daughters about what
kind of man to avoid, he showed.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
Them by example.

Speaker 5 (01:00:28):
He was a generous man, loved giving his kids presents
at Christmas, and they never found the gifts since, just
like Kevin, they were deep deep in the closet.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
I hope that doesn't offend anyone. I know that if
I was gay, I'd be highly offended to find out
that Kevin was one of me.

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
But there was a positive side.

Speaker 5 (01:00:51):
Kevin warmly embraced his relationship with his gay brother, only
after two decades of him shunning him. Kevin was the
first person to drive a bus for the blind. And
here's someone saying, you know what, we'll take.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
This from here. We got it.

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
He collected coins that I assume he stole from work.
He was a tour guide at the mint, where he
showed thousands his ability to point at coins. We actually
found a couple of reviews.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
Stopped the tape. Stopped the tape for a second. Why
didn't they laugh at that? That was good? A little dry.
He showed his ability to point at coins, right. I
liked that. It was great. It was a subtle one,
but it's great, a subtle one.

Speaker 6 (01:01:32):
Well, you know you're following deep in the closet jokes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
I guess and said three coins. When I write a eulogy,
I want the whole thing to murderin said coins. You
said coins twice before, so.

Speaker 4 (01:01:46):
They were a little confused.

Speaker 6 (01:01:48):
Always do the point jokes for the gay jokes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Jokes to the gay jokes. Okay, two coinst I'm pretty
sure there are a lot more gauge jokes. Have to
spread them out. Okay, So now he's setting up your
bit about the reviews, the Yelp reviews from from Kevin's work. Okay,
here we go.

Speaker 5 (01:02:08):
We actually found a couple of reviews of Kevin from Yelp.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
Allow me to share.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
It was so weird.

Speaker 5 (01:02:16):
I've never had a tour guide who just sat in
the recliner and told us knock yourselves out. And here's
another one.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
The mint was lovely.

Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
Our guy Kevin mentioned quarters for a minute, then started
rambling about how many pesos it cost to sleep with
nine women in the Dominican Republic.

Speaker 6 (01:02:37):
Oh my god, yeah, a little bit of it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Strange. You have to you have to be there.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:02:45):
Our tour guide, Kevin, for some reason, told us coins
are a choking hazard for dogs, and then explicably inexplicably
gave us tips on the best places to scatter them
on the floor.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
A pause for your second cards, pausitives. I actually lost
track of that joke. What was it?

Speaker 6 (01:03:04):
I think it's because he didn't like dogs, so right,
it's introducing the idea that you know, throw coins around
to so the dogs can.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
Choke them, right, right, I forgot, I forgot about his
deepatred for innocent animals.

Speaker 6 (01:03:20):
But I think the comment cards are are I think
getting in the way of just no, no, it's going great,
you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
No, I think it's good. I think we're not seeing
the cards on this shot. But right, and he stumbled
a little on that, But I actually think, like when
he does die, I think we need a dog joke
before this joke. Yes, I'm sorry, or at.

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
Least an explanation he wasn't a fan of dogs.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Right, But that might overset up the joke.

Speaker 6 (01:03:50):
No, well, are their dogs I don't remember if their
dog jokes coming.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
I feel like there's another dog joke coming up that
maybe we should proceed this with. But anyway, let's keep going.

Speaker 6 (01:04:00):
I think you're doing well. You're yourly bleak amazing. I
mean that is this is scary.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
You told me this this backyard. You've played this backyard,
haven't you.

Speaker 6 (01:04:09):
Yes, I used to when I when I did clubs
and colleges across the country. I recognize this yard. This
is a notorious it was a lunchtime show. It's a notorious,
difficult backyard, very tough, very tough. Acoustics alone, I think.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
One of those beautiful Western paintings.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (01:04:26):
It is?

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
I think people are distracted by the vista. I have
a question. Can I ask a question? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:04:35):
These these this uh Rogues Gallery, these people you're doing
the show for. Are any of them relatives?

Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
Rogues Gallery?

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
Are none a relative?

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
Are there's friends that came in for the other event?
I heard?

Speaker 6 (01:04:48):
I heard that, Colin, But maybe they're not just friends.
Maybe one of them might be a relative. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
Okay, what if he is? Wow, this has taken such
a dark turn. I hope Colin and Sweeny get their
friendship back.

Speaker 6 (01:05:03):
And oh my god, are you kidding me? This is
our love language.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
That's nice.

Speaker 6 (01:05:09):
I was just curious. So okay, but but they been
all these guys now you know, I'm sorry, no relatives
look edited out. Hey, I'm sorry to make things take
too long.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
Relatives has his answer.

Speaker 6 (01:05:24):
I was curious, but all five of these guys knew
your father in law, not all of them.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
I think three of the five knew him. Well, another
one had met it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Okay, and you got the setup. You explained that he
is a difficult man. Yes, okay, sorry, this is all good.
You know, we got some excitement out of that. Colin
and Sweeney mix it up. Yeah, yeah, no, it's good. Colin.
You come down here and say that to my face.

(01:05:56):
That's why we didn't want Colin studio because the last time,
you know, the cashews. That's why we don't have any cashews.
This time, they just were tossing cashews at each other
like nobody's business. Anyway. Anyway, back to the back to
the show.

Speaker 5 (01:06:16):
And then this one right here. I've never met such
a flat out asshole as Kevin before Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
That one was me. That's a good finisher, that's good.

Speaker 5 (01:06:28):
Kevin was a man of many interests. We all know
he loved the Beatles much the way that Hitler loved Wagner.
He loved the Beatles and knew all their songs by heart.
At work, he would sing I'm only sleeping and his children, I.

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
Don't think this crowd knows the song I'm only.

Speaker 6 (01:06:47):
Sleeping, Like, so, where's the joke? Where's the joke?

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
They're like, you know, should have said.

Speaker 6 (01:06:53):
At work he loves he would sing, hey Jude. Also
he knows, Hey Jude. It's hard to a guy for
liking the Beatles. So that's a tough no.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
I think, honestly, I think, look at these guys. Look
at what they're wearing. Do you think they're Abbey Road enthusiasts.
I'm only Sleeping not the first song you think of
the Beatles song. So you know what, for the real eulogy,
we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna polish this up and
give you a few more based on some recognizable Beatles songs.

(01:07:25):
Then you get to I only sleeping, I'm only Penny Lane.

Speaker 6 (01:07:30):
The mint Or we'll start with flying from a Magical mystery.
We know how we got to know, but the mint
Penny Lane.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
No, you know that's a good one, Colin. But you
know what, I don't want to put another ounce of
work into this until I know this guy's dying. I'm
just saying, Sean's gonna call us, you know, like the
day before the eulogy, and we're gonna punch up the
Beatles part for Yeah, Okay, let's keep going on the holidays.

Speaker 5 (01:07:57):
Hello and goodbye are the only things they say to him.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
That's good.

Speaker 5 (01:08:01):
When Kevin was young, he was a freemason, and he
actually considered joining the priesthood, but he chose instead to
skip that step and go right to fondling me. His
favorite song to sing to me was I Want to
hold your Hand. That probably and I'm probably missing a
lot of good qualities. Kevin had, you know, generosity, for example,

(01:08:22):
based on how many women he claimed to have sex
with in the Dominican Republic. He was clearly not afraid
to spend money. And he had three other sons, all
in the Yankee farm system. And I'm sorry that my
wife's step brother, Big Poppy, could not be here to.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
Join us today.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
That's solid. Say this the history.

Speaker 5 (01:08:42):
One thing I know he did right is he helped
create my wonderful wife. And based on how gay he
probably was, that took determination and sacrifice. By the way,
my wife did her part. He tried to kill him
already with COVID, but it didn't stick. But I know

(01:09:02):
that Kevin's and heaven right now through some sort of
clerical ever er. He's up there complaining about his cloud.
I want an accumulonimbus cloud, another fucking serious cloud. He's
up there disowning famous gay people. I'm sure he's beating
the ship up, Lassie and rint in tin. Okay, I'm sorry.
He's in hell. He's definitely in hell. He's down there,

(01:09:24):
jammon with Gaysey. Well, I'll miss you, Kevin.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
Yeah, and you guys. That was great writing, great writing
and great performing. Thank John, Thank Sean.

Speaker 6 (01:09:43):
You were great.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
He delivered the jokes really well. Yeah, he delivered it perfectly.
He's delivered them perfectly. I think there are a few
moves we can make for the Actually, it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:53):
Was a fat free roast boom boom boom, so many jokes.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
That's great, guys, and that's high praise. Coming from Colin,
because you know, if you've ever heard Colin on some
of the Holland on some of the Howard Stern roasts,
when I've listened to those Howard Stern Rose, Colin is absolute.

Speaker 6 (01:10:11):
King's a crazy time roaster.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
Like in other ways, he doesn't have to write jokes.

Speaker 6 (01:10:18):
He just well, like Don Rickles, I've just seen him
meet people and and but more than Don Rickles like
nail their personality, nail their vices immediately and start busting
the chops about it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
And it's it's just by being intuitive and direct.

Speaker 6 (01:10:36):
In one of the most intuitive guys.

Speaker 4 (01:10:38):
When Don Rickles would go on Johnny and Johnny would
try to say something hip, and Don would go, Johnny,
we're old.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
It's over. It's over, john It's over. Johnny. Now, he
had certain moves that he did with every old person,
like you know, someone told you me it's over. But
Johnny would be trying to be in the mix, and
he would just shut him right right and just shout
shoot him down. And Carson was secure enough that he

(01:11:09):
could laugh and it wasn't like a burn, it was
it's what he wanted to hear. Oh, did you ever
get to meet Don Rickles. You must have. Yeah, man,
I'm sure did he insult you when you met him? No? No,
oh really.

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
I was a producer on Conan or I don't know
what I was on Conan And he looks at me
and he says, hello, Rabbi. And then I heard years
later that when he met John Stewart he said the
exact same.

Speaker 4 (01:11:38):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
So he's got he's got his moves where that you
heard him, But he's got his How about this?

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
How about this for Sean?

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
Says Sean.

Speaker 4 (01:11:47):
My father in law was always a great fan of
the Beatles. I wish he could have gotten to meet
John outside the Dakotah.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
That's a great one. That's a nice one. That's a
great one. That's a nice one, nice and dark. I
love the idea of doing jokes this dark at a eulogy. Yes,
that one and the fondling one. You want to do
the fondling joke? Is he an open casket kind of guy? Yeah, he.

Speaker 5 (01:12:13):
Clings onto some sort of Catholicism.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
That okay, as an open casket would be pretty pretty
intense to be saying these jokes to an open casket. Oh,
that would be at the wake not since Trump was
roasted by Obama and uh well, the White House correspond
remember Trump's face, He's just like you might as well
have been a vertical open casket. He just didn't move. Well.

Speaker 6 (01:12:41):
The good thing about if you do it at the
open casket, that means you're doing it at the wake.
And if there's like three or four wake sessions, you
get three shots at it and then down the ben,
you know, with the best audience raction shots, and that's
your HBO special.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
Why don't we turn this into a a different kind
of either a special or recurring NBC show, like America's
Funniest Eulogy and He's still alive, which will be America's
Funniest Eulogy, and different people compete and we narrow it down. Yeah,
you know, and colge to judge, like.

Speaker 6 (01:13:20):
And Sean from season one is a recurring judge a
judge on season two. So did you run in any
of this by like your wife? I'm just curious any
This is a good question.

Speaker 5 (01:13:34):
I can't I can't tell you what joke it was,
but I used it in front of her and her
mom and they laughed like wildly, and I was like.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
Wait, why can't you tell us the which joke. Oh,
that's a good reason. That's a better reason. I wish
Biden had used that trick when he was senile. I
can't tell you what the plan is. It's top secret.
You don't remember it, do you? You don't remember it? Yeah,

(01:14:02):
I don't remember. You got me, you got me, you
got me. Anyway, you're still.

Speaker 6 (01:14:11):
You didn't get this out of your system by doing
in the backyard. You're still like, I'm gonna You're still up.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
For doing this when it really happens.

Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
Yeah, Yeah, that's funny.

Speaker 5 (01:14:20):
After after it was over, we all were discussing like
what parts of it would be most problematic. One guy
was like, you're gonna get divorced if you say this part,
this part, this part, And another person was very steadfast
and being like, no, you say all of it, because
that's who he is.

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
You got more than you need. So if there are
a couple that have to go, you'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
You're not You're not gonna let him do this.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
You guys are crazy. He's not gonna do this.

Speaker 6 (01:14:50):
Yeah, no, Colins, Right, well, what if he changed?

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
Are you going to show your face if you do it,
or you're going to change.

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
Like a mascot. We'll do the Rockies mascot dinger, like.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Who was that guy?

Speaker 6 (01:15:04):
Sean? Or you eulogize my father?

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
Okay, well all right, Colin, are you serious? You think
you think this entire show has been folly and that
he can't possibly do this eulogy. There's no way he
can do this. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:15:21):
Us.

Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
He came to us with this idea. We didn't. It's
a great idea, but I like the TV show idea too.
But I'm just saying he canke it up.

Speaker 4 (01:15:31):
Memorial Service and Rose, there's gonna be the front seats
are always the oldest relatives in the room.

Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
Okay, all right, we'll see. We will continue to follow
up with you, Sean if anything happens. Uh, and if
the show still exists, you can tractually.

Speaker 6 (01:16:01):
I mean, Sean did it in the yard, his friends
enjoyed it. I feel contractually he's obligated to follow through.

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
No, he's done his job. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:16:11):
I wanted to get us off out of liability for
whatever happens here.

Speaker 1 (01:16:16):
So it's great.

Speaker 5 (01:16:17):
Yes, Sean, would you be willing to let your father
in law come on our podcast and listen to or
watch no eulogy.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
Wait until he's in like hospice there, yeah, where he
can't hurt him.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Know he's reaching out for.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
You.

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
Make the hospice nurse cry.

Speaker 6 (01:16:46):
I barely know the man and I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
Sign up, monster, put you up to this? Frank Wow?

Speaker 6 (01:17:00):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Well yeah, I think Mike's right. I think we've done
all we can do and the rest is up to uh,
you and God. So you, you and God get together
and figure out when he dies, who does what? Running
order of jokes.

Speaker 5 (01:17:17):
I don't think God will be involved in that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Oh wow, wants to do what's ended on the darkest
thought imaginable.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
No, I'm a joke on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:17:30):
No, that's that's yeah. No, we are going to spin
this off into America's funny. Yes. Yeah, We're all going
to need work after this episode. All right, thank you
