Thoughts check check check one, two three, What's got Mine?
Welcome back to the podcast. I got a cool interview
for you at the end of it with merr from
uh The Impractical Jokers. He's going to be at Helium
Comedy Club in Indy this weekend. Go see him. It's
gonna be a funny show. You'll you'll hear. I appreciate
(00:35):
you coming back. I'm sorry. I was gone. I uh,
I was. I couldn't do the podcast last week. I
was getting over like a nasty head cold.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
That will sound a like squid word, and.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I had a I had a headache. I just I
could not get rid of. So if it, if it
ruins your week not having this podcast, I'm sorry, but
also thank you for caring. I feel good now, though.
Getting a cold so dumb, especially when the seasons change,
because you don't get enough sleep one night and your
(01:06):
body's like, well, the immune system's too tired to go
to work today, so you're getting sick. Buddy. It's dumb.
And Ames kept making fun of me that I just
I had the man flew. It was just.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Completely beamy and I'm shick.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
She was like, I have fuck off.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
No, she took care of me. She was real, real
good to me as always, and uh yeah, I'm feeling better.
I did a shot at Saint Elmo's Cocktail Sauce, which
is basically just all horse radish, and cleared me right
out because I was like, I can't miss work. I'm
a millennial.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I do not take a sick day. That's my vacation.
I don't get a lot of those.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So I had to go to work one contagious hopefully
didn't kill any poor people or old people, and uh
yeah it was. It was good. So we're back, you know.
It was just I was doing a lot of stuff.
Not last weekend. The weekend before, had to do a
bunch of traveling while of drive and went back to Akron,
(02:08):
Ohio for my cousin's wedding. That wasn't a wedding. It
was just like a party, which was really cool. My
cousin and his wife there, they're awesome. They're just kind
of like go with the flow people, so they didn't
really want a big wedding. He was just wearing, you know,
like a sweater and some jeans, and she wore a
wedding dress and we just had a party and had
(02:31):
a bunch of beers and a bunch.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Of food, had a good shush.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
And it was cool getting to see a bunch of
my family members. So that was awesome. And then went back.
Anytime I'm in Akron, I go back to the Funny
Stop comedy club and check that out. Say heyed Na
Doll and go look at the the portrait of Pete
over there. Pete was like one of the if you've
never been to the Funny Stop, if you're ever in
northeast Ohio, look about. It's always a fun time. But uh,
(03:01):
Pete passed away a couple of years ago, and he
was just like the coolest old school comedy club owner.
You know. You'd be like, hey, man, let me get
his spot. He goes, no, you sneak and you're gay, Like,
come on, man, let me let me get fun You
are not funny. You know it's funny.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Steve Harvey, you go up there and you die like
a duck.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And uh yeah, So I go back see his wife,
and I got to see a couple of really funny people.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
When I went back there, Chris Harvey was headlining over
the weekend, and uh, Jay Hunter was with him. They're
both super funny guys. Go look up Chris Harvey and
Jay Hunter on Instagram. Follow them there. They've always been
cool to me and uh giving me spots on shows
when I needed it. And Chris Harvey, he's uh, he's
(03:52):
helped me out. I gave people the nod like, hey,
I co signed this guy. He'll not he won't fuck
up your show. Give him, give him some work, that
kind of stuff. And he's going on tour with Steve
O now, he's opening for him. So it's kind of
cool to see him finally getting to, you know, break
into the game a little bit. But it's cool.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Harvey's funny, Like when I was first going to the
comedy club, like I came from Texas and I was thinking,
you know, I'm the funniest person of all time, Like
I am the best I am. Dave Chappelle, will we
see Kay and Bilberr rapped into one. You can't like
Patrise O'Neil's not as funny as me. Like that's where
(04:31):
my head was. It was stupid. I was only like
three years in I think, and at that time, like
you finally start figuring out how to make people laugh,
and so your ego is just way out of whack.
You have no self awareness. So I was walking into
Funny Stop every night just being like, yeah, I'm the
funniest dude in acron Yeah, y'all not fucking with me,
that kind of stuff, and Harvey walks in. One night.
(04:55):
It was just a mic night, you know, trying out
new stuff. But there was a good crowd there. So
Harvey pulls up and I'm you know, I'm talking my shit, like, yeah, bro,
you might go on the road, you might do da
da dah. Yeah you're headlining. I'm funnier in five minutes
than you. And he goes, all right, bro, what's bet?
I go, okay, what do you want to bet? He goes,
I'll go up before you and I will bury you.
(05:17):
There will not be any more laughs after I go up.
I don't care how you how good you do, there
will not be any more laughs. And it was like, yeah, bro, whatever,
Like I'll still get him. We bet you know, twenty
bucks on it, and uh I went out and sat
in the crowd and uh, I was, you know, I
brought a girl with me at the time, and uh,
(05:38):
We're sitting out there and Harvey's just murdering. I was like,
oh shit, So I go I go back like to
get ready to go up. His time's almost done and
he uh he looks at me. He gives me that
look like yeah, go get him. So I go up
on stage and I am like trying my heart, like
I'm giving energy, trying to get last. People are like nothing,
(06:02):
you know what I mean, Like it just I as
soon as I started walking off stage, I opened my
cash app and just went ahead and sent him to
twenty bucks. And he was like, what did we learn?
They go that I need to shut the fuck up.
Sometimes he goes yeah, He's like there's levels to this.
But that was one of my Uh that was one
of my first humbling times in stand up, which is
(06:26):
good because there's a lot of people still that run
around that are like, yeah, I'm not getting booked, I'm
not dumb behind enough fun of it, And you're like,
I know, not sure where the self awareness is living,
but we got eyes and ears, buddy, it's not working.
You need to be humbled every once in a while
to kind of give a recalibration of where you're at.
(06:48):
And I always appreciate him for that. But that was
funny being in there remembering that. I was like, oh, yeah,
by that time, you took twenty bucks from me. He goes, yep,
I do remember you thought you were better than me
and what happened. I was like, yep, not there yet,
but it uh, it's good man. Well what have you
guys been doing? Huh? Been having fun last couple of weeks.
(07:11):
Been not getting sick, washing your hands, not scratching your button,
smelling it. Last week was National Cat Day, so I
went and told my cat Pig. I was like, today
is your day. She didn't give a fuck. She flipped
me off because she's a cat. She doesn't know what's
(07:32):
going on. She don't even speak English, you know, she
just hears sounds. I'll be like food all she hears
and she's like, oh, that means I'm about to get
some food. So it's you know, it's it's tough like
having the cat's weird, dude, because you want to love it,
but cats they just don't care. They will love you
(07:52):
when it's time to love you. Like you know, you
have a dog and you go up to the dog
even if it's not ready to you know, have love.
You just be like, who's your good boy? Who's your
good boy? And their tail starts wagging. You're like, yeah,
I'm a good boy. You see their tail waggon. You know,
you get like some you get some evidence that they
(08:14):
love you. Cats. You know what you have to do
to cats? You got a slow blank at them. That's
that's the cat's love language. You have to slow blank
at a cat, close your eyes, real slow open your eyes,
and it's just staring at you like fuck, you made
you feel like an idiot.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Man.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's tough. But those are the things I'm focusing on
because the world outside is it's crazy right now. It's
only getting crazy, and it gets really annoying when the
craziness comes in to your home and messes up your life.
I'm being really dramatic for no reason. But YouTube and
(08:55):
Disney are having this argument right now. We're basically Disney
is trying to jack the price up on ESPN and
ABC for sports so that people go subscribe to their
ESPN app, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Why do I need another app to watch something?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I got eight streaming services? Man, It's about time to
go back to cable but I was like, you know what,
I'm not doing this. Disney's trying to jack the price
up so YouTube TV will pay for it. YouTube's like,
now we're not paying for it. You guys are being ridiculous.
So there was an alternative. I was like, look, I'll
get the Sling TV Day Pass because Sling TV was
smart enough to be like, hey, five bucks today, you
(09:35):
can watch whatever you want. It's fine. So I wanted
to watch the Notre Day Boston College game, and Sling
TV is just basically cable for your area. So I
get the Sling Day Pass to watch nd and I
can only watch what's on TV in my area. So
the game before Notre Dame Boston College was Miami SMU.
(09:58):
That game goes into overtime, so I can't watch Notre Dame.
And a whole thing comes across the TV saying.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You can watch Notre Dame if you subscribe to the
ESPN app.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I want to kill Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
That is an evil mouse.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I want to get your money one way or another.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You better pay me, motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
How greedy do you need to be? Disney? And the
shameless thing is I almost feel bad for like all
their personalities like their top people at ESPN all had
to tweet out and post the same message.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Well, you know, if you're a YouTube TV subscriber and
you want to be able to watch our stuff, why
don't you write a strongly worded email to the Google
president or what It's like? Dude, don't make me fight
your battles. I know what you're doing. It's shameful. You're
being great. How many more yachts.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Do you need? It's ridiculous, dude. I did see this
thing that said Disney's losing five million dollars a day
every day. ESPN's not on YouTube TV, So you know
what we gotta do. We gotta hold strong. Okay, don't
go pay for ESPN, don't do it. Hold out. I
(11:12):
miss Monday night football. You know that I don't really
care about the Cowboys and the Cardinals, so you know,
I just had to not watch that college football though
that that was pissed me off. But just get the
get the slang day pass and hopefully none of the
games will go into overtime so that you can watch
what game you want to watch. I gotta see Carson
(11:34):
Beck looking like the Geico Gecko. Throw an interception. It's ridiculous, man,
speaking of sports, that World Series that just happened was
one of the best World series of all time. Like
that was cool. I was hyped to watch Game seven because, like,
(11:55):
going into the World Series, you were just thinking, like, Okay,
Dodgers are just gonna smack the Blue Jays. Dodgers got
two billion dollars on their payroll of Blue Jays. You know,
they spent a lot of money, but not two billion dollars.
And then blue Jays win Game one. You're like, okay,
they got a chance. And then it just kept going
back and forth. Game seven was incredible. It had everything
(12:17):
like benches clearing, which is ridiculous. The dude that got hit,
he's like, good dude, what what it's like, it's Game seven.
I'm not trying to hit you, bro, like go to
first base. But it had extra ending. There was so
much wild cheit going on. Like I was trying to
keep Amy up to watch it. I probably jinx the
Blue Jays a little bit. I mean, we know Drake
(12:37):
Jinks the Blue Jays for showing up at the game,
but uh, it was eighth inning and Ames was like
about to go to sleep. She's like, oh, I'm tiring,
and I was like, no, no, no, you gotta stay
up and watch this because the Blue Jays are about
to win, and winning a game seven at home, like baseball,
energy in the postseason is top of the top, Like
(13:01):
football is cool. Basketball is cool, but I don't know
what it is, Like how can you not be romantic
about baseball? Baseball just has that thing where like people
be losing their minds. You'll have three generations of fans
sitting next to each other crying like I never thought
I'd see the day I can die happy now and
(13:22):
the kids like is this gonna last forever? And it's not,
but you get to see all that kind of emotion
right there. So I was like, Ays, you gotta stay up,
you gotta stay up. Blue Jays were what two outs
away from winning and or maybe it was I forget
when that guy hit who was it Rojas the second
(13:46):
basement for the Dodgers. That dude hit that home run,
it was just like soul crushing. I was like, okay, Ames,
you can, you can go to bed. Went into extras.
And the cool thing about the Dodgers, like as much
as it sucks that they're just spending more money than
God to get every single good baseball player from around
the world on their team. It was pretty sick that
(14:09):
Game seven, they just threw out all of their top pitchers.
They're like, hey, we're gonna show you our money, right,
big bank, take a little bit. And the last picture
I can't remember his name off the top of my head,
but that guy was incredible. Bases were loaded and he
(14:31):
gets out of it. And then after that you're just
kind of waiting like all right, okay, Dodgers got it.
And then the dude for the Blue Jays was just like,
why are you sliding feet first in a home plate?
They got like a ground ball and the dude was
second basement for the Dodgers bobbles it and you're like, oh,
(14:51):
could this be it? And the dude for the Blue Jays, like,
I get he couldn't get a big secondary leagues. He
didn't want to get, you know, thrown out on third,
But you don't slide feet first Game seven into home plate, dude,
like you're either sprinting through or you're doing the Pete
Rose Charlie Hustle Swan dive into the plate. And then
(15:12):
they were like replaying it, which thankfully, Like, I'm sorry
the Blue Jays loss, but that would have been the
dumbest way or the most anti climactic way to end
that game.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Is well after review, the Blue Jays are the World
Series champions.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
That would have been stupid. So it sucks that it
happened the way it did. But that was still one
of the best World Series I think I've ever seen.
That was just that was awesome, man. But outside of
you know, sports, real world stuff still going on, Like
people are losing their snap benefits and not being able
(15:49):
to get food, and like people are getting mad that
they had them to begin with, which I gotta be honest,
I don't care, you know what I mean. If someone
doesn't want to work, that's their life. Okay, I still
have to pay taxes for shit. I don't want to
pay anyway. I don't care if it goes to somebody
that's getting food. It would be awesome to sit around
and do nothing all day. I don't have that in me,
(16:10):
so I don't do it. Some people are cool with
doing that, and then some people have had tough lives
where they've had, you know, twenty bad things happen to
them and they end up like, hey, I can't do anything.
This is it. I've seen life beat people up that
were in better situations to where they didn't end up
out on the street, but they could have if they
(16:32):
didn't have people around them. And there's some people that
just don't have people around them. And like the fact
that people are getting mad that people have benefit, like
the amount of videos I saw where people are like
celebrating Snap benefits going away. It's like, come on, man,
have a little bit of empathy, you know what I mean.
(16:57):
I just I don't understand, Like when did rooting for
rich people become a thing that's dork behavior one rich,
Like if you were rooting for the Dodgers and you
don't live in Los Angeles, go fuck yourself. It's the
same thing with Snap better You're you're like happy that people, Yeah,
goot a job, bum, they're not in your situation and
(17:18):
wife sucks. Sometimes. I just I don't understand, Like I
saw this thing, uh the other day that said the
ten richest people on the planet got five hundred billion
dollars richer just this year, And it's like, do you
think you're gonna become that the ship sailed dude, like,
(17:43):
you're not gonna be a billionaire. Maybe you got like
a billion dollar idea somewhere, but the chances of it
happening are to go play the lottery, dude. That's the
only shot we got to be a millionaire, because even
if it gets up over a billion, you know, after
taxes and everything, the lump sum, you're still a millionaire.
It's a lot of money. You don't need a billion dollars.
(18:08):
And I'm pretty sure anytime the lottery gets up over
a billion dollars, like when it gets to one billion
or two billion, the CIA or FBI somehow gets that.
I don't believe that goes to actual people. Or maybe
they're just using it to set a trap to catch
time travelers. I don't know, but it's just like, it's
it's sad that people are like happy that other people
(18:31):
are suffering. Like, I give a fuck. How you live
your life, I'm living mine. Do I wish it was better? Yes?
Do I think taking a candy bar and a hamburger
out of your mouth is gonna make my wife that
much better?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Give a shit, have a couple of noodles. That's how
some people saying like there was a somebody posted like
a picture of a Surwoin steak with the Snap Benefits
sticker on it or something, and people are commenting, well,
why why is that snap benefit Poor people can't have steak?
(19:05):
Who gives a fuck, dude, live your life, man.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Well that really affects my bottom whate.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
No with that, not that much, you know what I mean,
like all the other stuff we gotta pay for. I
pay a shit ton of money to not have potholes
where I drive. There's still potholes. So obviously that money's
not going there, le go to people who need food.
Be happy about that shit. I watched this, uh watch
this documentary that just came out on Netflix called The
(19:36):
White House Effect. It was pretty good. It was a
good watch. It was like kind of showing how corruption
in the government happens. Like George H. W.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Bush was like, I'm gonna help climate change and I'm
gonna get the Earth under control.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And then Exon and all these big oil companies were like,
what if we paid scientists to say the opposite and
we messed everything up? Like it's crazy, we need to
bring back Schoolhouse Rock, but like update it, like have
the whole piece paper going. I'm just a bill ob
just a bill waiting for cub of these the cup
(20:12):
and put up some mills, get a red and blue
tie to jump up and hill and look for more
poor people to kill. But a chill that. Yeah, I'm
just a bill howl to whistle that. No, all right,
white or note. Anybody see that Sidney Sweeney picture. Nope,
(20:34):
I didn't either. All right, let's get to your let's
get your headline of the week, and then we'll get
into the interview with Murrh from Impractical Jokers. The uber
Ceo predicts that at about twenty years, every car on
the road will be fully autonomous, and human driving will
become a leisure activity like horseback riding. Today, we're gonna
(20:57):
have car girls and guys. You know, was you ever
were you mean in high school? You'd be like, oh yeah,
horse girl. Yeah, what a weirdo. That's what they're gonna
be doing in like twenty forty, Like, oh yeah, cargirl,
what a weirdo? She acts to drive idiot. She also
(21:18):
says that society may eventually question whether people should even
be allowed to drive on open roads. It's ridiculous, Like
do we not see that I robot is happening in
real time. Go back the Will Smith movie I Robot.
It's set in twenty thirty two. It's coming up. Dude.
(21:38):
We already got you see that, got the the house
robots already.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
For twenty thousand dollars or just fifty five hundred easy
payments of twenty nine ninety nine, you can have your
own robots servant.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's crazy. We got them in the house, and now
they're gonna be like, Eh, you can't drive a car.
It's too dangerous. We're gonna take that out of your hand,
and you know how, they're gonna get us where. Everybody's
gonna agree to this, because they're gonna announce it like
right as everybody's sitting in rush hour traffic. They're gonna
be like, are people pissing you off? Does nobody know
(22:14):
what the left lane on the highway is for? Is
merging on the highway way too difficult for some human beings?
You're gonna be sitting there going.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Yeah, that's stupid, Get them out of there.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Well, we have the robot driving car that will take
you anywhere and you can get hammered in it while
it drives you. That's where we're going they're just selling
us like, hey, this is nice. You don't you don't
need to do this in life easier. This is what
the future is about. Just let a robot do it.
Be lazy like those AI commercials, Chat, GPT and Gemini.
(22:51):
It's always the dumbest shit. It's like some guys like, hey, Google,
how do I talk to a girl? Google's like go
up to her and say hi.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
We're Goh shit, thanks Google.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
They want us to stop using our brains. Man, driving
a car is really hard, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah? Yeah, it is mercury.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
What if we just drove for you all?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Thanks Ford.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
They're making us stupid and we're wenning it happen.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Man, God got that.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'm in a good mood. I swear and I promise
I have not seen that Sydney Sweeney picture. All right,

Speaker 5 (24:37):
Him to eat it every time we come to India.
It's the best. So look, last time it was India.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Like a year or two ago, we were at the airport
the next morning, eight in the morning, off like it's late,

airport and I forced him at eight am to.

Dude. That's awesome and hilarious that you got your cousin
try the cocktail sauce even though he hates it. I
feel like that's a rite of passage because my hate
spicy food. And I did the same thing. I was like, hey,

Speaker 1 (25:10):
In true jokers fashion for his Christmas gift last year.
Last year, I sent him like a case of cocktail sauce.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
I mean, it's so much fun, dude.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Every show is different, So you could come five times
and see five different shows.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Seriously, like, because the first half of the show is
you know, like stam comedy.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I tell stories from jokers and from life, and you know,
absolutely embarrassing things I've done. But the second half of
the show, truly, I do not know what's going to happen.
We make it up as we go.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
I play two games with the audience. It's different every night.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
One is where I borrow three audience members cell phones
and I start texting from their phone on their behalf
as if on them, and it's absolute chaos. Right, It's
always different. It's inspired by them and their life.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
And what's going on.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
And then the last thing we do in every show
is we play in practical Jokers Live, meaning I choose
from someone from the crowd, put an earpiece in their ear.
I'm gonna send them out in the streets of Indianapolis.
We're gonna watch on screen and live on the spot
they've got to do and say what I tell them
to the cops of the cult.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Dude, that is awesome. See, if you guys don't go
buy tickets this weekend, you're gonna miss that. That's crazy, dude.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Yeah, And you can get your tickets to the Healing
Comedy Club where merlive dot com. It's a shortcut, but
I'll get you there too.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
That's what's up. So obviously people are very brave because
I got to be honest. I don't know if I'm
just giving my phone out to a comic to uh
just text anybody in my phone.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
But well I do. At the up of the game,
I say, there are some criteria. Number one, if you're
cheating in your spouse, don't give me your phone.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
It's the most it's happened on stage.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
I'm like, this guy's clearly cheating.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You know, one situation a woman was clearly cheating and
the guy stormed out of the club.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
It was great, great comedy. Though.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, I'm sure that was hilarious. It's like, hey, we
caused a divorce, but are we martyring the night? And
everybody's that's what's up?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Well, I know it's gonna be a fun weekend at
Helium Comedy Club. Five shows you can go to. I
do got to ask though, I was checking out your Instagram,
did you are you turning into a robot? What was
that thing that you unboxed with your wife that was
like robot legs?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Oh dude, that's crazy. I'm looking like a huge tech
guy and they sent me this. Uh it's like an exoskeleton.
It's in for free right without any requirements. And I
was like, well, let me at LEAs suppost video about it,
you know, because you know.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
We look, man, I'm on Channel one million. I never
get sent free stuff ever, you.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Know, like I certainly am not getting sent hair.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Products, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
So they sent me like this exoskeleton to hikes because
my wife and I all was on. It's like flipping.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Terminator, It's wild. It like lifts your knees.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I have a pretty skinny guy, so I imagine it would
be more helpful to someone that you know, isn't doesn't
weigh sixty pounds wet right.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's awesome. Did you kind of feel like Iron Man
putting it on?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Not quite as cool because I'm a balding, middle aged man,
you know, without armor, without weapons of any kind.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
So I didn't feel quite as cool, but I appreciate
the analogy.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Okay, well hey we'll get there all right, Bro? Is
there anything else you want to promote or something you're
excited about? No, man, I mean you know.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Brandow season in Private Drovere starts to January fifteenth on TBS.
The opening episode, Salve was the episode and we made
him go through a haunted house while on the phone
with Spectrum Cable trying to cancel with cable service.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Dude, it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
And then this weekon Indianapolis gets tickets at murderlog dot com.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
It's gonna be an absolute blast.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
That's awesome, mur I really appreciate you taking the time
to talk to me.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I know you're gonna murder this weekend. Try not to
get anybody in too much trouble when they're doing the
impractical Jokers part of the show, but I know it's
gonna be fun.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Man, Thanks buddy, appreciate you. Thanks for call money for CO,
money for CO, money for CO. Money for
Bill speaking that that should not have made it to
the rest of us.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Thoughts check check check one, two three, What's got Mine?
Welcome back to the podcast. I got a cool interview
for you at the end of it with merr from
uh The Impractical Jokers. He's going to be at Helium
Comedy Club in Indy this weekend. Go see him. It's
gonna be a funny show. You'll you'll hear. I appreciate
(00:35):
you coming back. I'm sorry. I was gone. I uh,
I was. I couldn't do the podcast last week. I
was getting over like a nasty head cold.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
That will sound a like squid word, and.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I had a I had a headache. I just I
could not get rid of. So if it, if it
ruins your week not having this podcast, I'm sorry, but
also thank you for caring. I feel good now, though.
Getting a cold so dumb, especially when the seasons change,
because you don't get enough sleep one night and your
(01:06):
body's like, well, the immune system's too tired to go
to work today, so you're getting sick. Buddy. It's dumb.
And Ames kept making fun of me that I just
I had the man flew. It was just.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Completely beamy and I'm shick.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
She was like, I have fuck off.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
No, she took care of me. She was real, real
good to me as always, and uh yeah, I'm feeling better.
I did a shot at Saint Elmo's Cocktail Sauce, which
is basically just all horse radish, and cleared me right
out because I was like, I can't miss work. I'm
a millennial.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I do not take a sick day. That's my vacation.
I don't get a lot of those.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So I had to go to work one contagious hopefully
didn't kill any poor people or old people, and uh
yeah it was. It was good. So we're back, you know.
It was just I was doing a lot of stuff.
Not last weekend. The weekend before, had to do a
bunch of traveling while of drive and went back to Akron,
(02:08):
Ohio for my cousin's wedding. That wasn't a wedding. It
was just like a party, which was really cool. My
cousin and his wife there, they're awesome. They're just kind
of like go with the flow people, so they didn't
really want a big wedding. He was just wearing, you know,
like a sweater and some jeans, and she wore a
wedding dress and we just had a party and had
(02:31):
a bunch of beers and a bunch.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Of food, had a good shush.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
And it was cool getting to see a bunch of
my family members. So that was awesome. And then went back.
Anytime I'm in Akron, I go back to the Funny
Stop comedy club and check that out. Say heyed Na
Doll and go look at the the portrait of Pete
over there. Pete was like one of the if you've
never been to the Funny Stop, if you're ever in
northeast Ohio, look about. It's always a fun time. But uh,
(03:01):
Pete passed away a couple of years ago, and he
was just like the coolest old school comedy club owner.
You know. You'd be like, hey, man, let me get
his spot. He goes, no, you sneak and you're gay, Like,
come on, man, let me let me get fun You
are not funny. You know it's funny.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Steve Harvey, you go up there and you die like
a duck.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And uh yeah, So I go back see his wife,
and I got to see a couple of really funny people.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
When I went back there, Chris Harvey was headlining over
the weekend, and uh, Jay Hunter was with him. They're
both super funny guys. Go look up Chris Harvey and
Jay Hunter on Instagram. Follow them there. They've always been
cool to me and uh giving me spots on shows
when I needed it. And Chris Harvey, he's uh, he's
(03:52):
helped me out. I gave people the nod like, hey,
I co signed this guy. He'll not he won't fuck
up your show. Give him, give him some work, that
kind of stuff. And he's going on tour with Steve
O now, he's opening for him. So it's kind of
cool to see him finally getting to, you know, break
into the game a little bit. But it's cool.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Harvey's funny, Like when I was first going to the
comedy club, like I came from Texas and I was thinking,
you know, I'm the funniest person of all time, Like
I am the best I am. Dave Chappelle, will we
see Kay and Bilberr rapped into one. You can't like
Patrise O'Neil's not as funny as me. Like that's where
(04:31):
my head was. It was stupid. I was only like
three years in I think, and at that time, like
you finally start figuring out how to make people laugh,
and so your ego is just way out of whack.
You have no self awareness. So I was walking into
Funny Stop every night just being like, yeah, I'm the
funniest dude in acron Yeah, y'all not fucking with me,
that kind of stuff, and Harvey walks in. One night.
(04:55):
It was just a mic night, you know, trying out
new stuff. But there was a good crowd there. So
Harvey pulls up and I'm you know, I'm talking my shit, like, yeah, bro,
you might go on the road, you might do da
da dah. Yeah you're headlining. I'm funnier in five minutes
than you. And he goes, all right, bro, what's bet?
I go, okay, what do you want to bet? He goes,
I'll go up before you and I will bury you.
(05:17):
There will not be any more laughs after I go up.
I don't care how you how good you do, there
will not be any more laughs. And it was like, yeah, bro, whatever,
Like I'll still get him. We bet you know, twenty
bucks on it, and uh I went out and sat
in the crowd and uh, I was, you know, I
brought a girl with me at the time, and uh,
(05:38):
We're sitting out there and Harvey's just murdering. I was like,
oh shit, So I go I go back like to
get ready to go up. His time's almost done and
he uh he looks at me. He gives me that
look like yeah, go get him. So I go up
on stage and I am like trying my heart, like
I'm giving energy, trying to get last. People are like nothing,
(06:02):
you know what I mean, Like it just I as
soon as I started walking off stage, I opened my
cash app and just went ahead and sent him to
twenty bucks. And he was like, what did we learn?
They go that I need to shut the fuck up.
Sometimes he goes yeah, He's like there's levels to this.
But that was one of my Uh that was one
of my first humbling times in stand up, which is
(06:26):
good because there's a lot of people still that run
around that are like, yeah, I'm not getting booked, I'm
not dumb behind enough fun of it, And you're like,
I know, not sure where the self awareness is living,
but we got eyes and ears, buddy, it's not working.
You need to be humbled every once in a while
to kind of give a recalibration of where you're at.
(06:48):
And I always appreciate him for that. But that was
funny being in there remembering that. I was like, oh, yeah,
by that time, you took twenty bucks from me. He goes, yep,
I do remember you thought you were better than me
and what happened. I was like, yep, not there yet,
but it uh, it's good man. Well what have you
guys been doing? Huh? Been having fun last couple of weeks.
(07:11):
Been not getting sick, washing your hands, not scratching your button,
smelling it. Last week was National Cat Day, so I
went and told my cat Pig. I was like, today
is your day. She didn't give a fuck. She flipped
me off because she's a cat. She doesn't know what's
(07:32):
going on. She don't even speak English, you know, she
just hears sounds. I'll be like food all she hears
and she's like, oh, that means I'm about to get
some food. So it's you know, it's it's tough like
having the cat's weird, dude, because you want to love it,
but cats they just don't care. They will love you
(07:52):
when it's time to love you. Like you know, you
have a dog and you go up to the dog
even if it's not ready to you know, have love.
You just be like, who's your good boy? Who's your
good boy? And their tail starts wagging. You're like, yeah,
I'm a good boy. You see their tail waggon. You know,
you get like some you get some evidence that they
(08:14):
love you. Cats. You know what you have to do
to cats? You got a slow blank at them. That's
that's the cat's love language. You have to slow blank
at a cat, close your eyes, real slow open your eyes,
and it's just staring at you like fuck, you made
you feel like an idiot.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Man.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's tough. But those are the things I'm focusing on
because the world outside is it's crazy right now. It's
only getting crazy, and it gets really annoying when the
craziness comes in to your home and messes up your life.
I'm being really dramatic for no reason. But YouTube and
(08:55):
Disney are having this argument right now. We're basically Disney
is trying to jack the price up on ESPN and
ABC for sports so that people go subscribe to their
ESPN app, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Why do I need another app to watch something?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I got eight streaming services? Man, It's about time to
go back to cable but I was like, you know what,
I'm not doing this. Disney's trying to jack the price
up so YouTube TV will pay for it. YouTube's like,
now we're not paying for it. You guys are being ridiculous.
So there was an alternative. I was like, look, I'll
get the Sling TV Day Pass because Sling TV was
smart enough to be like, hey, five bucks today, you
(09:35):
can watch whatever you want. It's fine. So I wanted
to watch the Notre Day Boston College game, and Sling
TV is just basically cable for your area. So I
get the Sling Day Pass to watch nd and I
can only watch what's on TV in my area. So
the game before Notre Dame Boston College was Miami SMU.
(09:58):
That game goes into overtime, so I can't watch Notre Dame.
And a whole thing comes across the TV saying.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You can watch Notre Dame if you subscribe to the
ESPN app.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I want to kill Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
That is an evil mouse.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I want to get your money one way or another.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You better pay me, motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
How greedy do you need to be? Disney? And the
shameless thing is I almost feel bad for like all
their personalities like their top people at ESPN all had
to tweet out and post the same message.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Well, you know, if you're a YouTube TV subscriber and
you want to be able to watch our stuff, why
don't you write a strongly worded email to the Google
president or what It's like? Dude, don't make me fight
your battles. I know what you're doing. It's shameful. You're
being great. How many more yachts.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Do you need? It's ridiculous, dude. I did see this
thing that said Disney's losing five million dollars a day
every day. ESPN's not on YouTube TV, So you know
what we gotta do. We gotta hold strong. Okay, don't
go pay for ESPN, don't do it. Hold out. I
(11:12):
miss Monday night football. You know that I don't really
care about the Cowboys and the Cardinals, so you know,
I just had to not watch that college football though
that that was pissed me off. But just get the
get the slang day pass and hopefully none of the
games will go into overtime so that you can watch
what game you want to watch. I gotta see Carson
(11:34):
Beck looking like the Geico Gecko. Throw an interception. It's ridiculous, man,
speaking of sports, that World Series that just happened was
one of the best World series of all time. Like
that was cool. I was hyped to watch Game seven because, like,
(11:55):
going into the World Series, you were just thinking, like, Okay,
Dodgers are just gonna smack the Blue Jays. Dodgers got
two billion dollars on their payroll of Blue Jays. You know,
they spent a lot of money, but not two billion dollars.
And then blue Jays win Game one. You're like, okay,
they got a chance. And then it just kept going
back and forth. Game seven was incredible. It had everything
(12:17):
like benches clearing, which is ridiculous. The dude that got hit,
he's like, good dude, what what it's like, it's Game seven.
I'm not trying to hit you, bro, like go to
first base. But it had extra ending. There was so
much wild cheit going on. Like I was trying to
keep Amy up to watch it. I probably jinx the
Blue Jays a little bit. I mean, we know Drake
(12:37):
Jinks the Blue Jays for showing up at the game,
but uh, it was eighth inning and Ames was like
about to go to sleep. She's like, oh, I'm tiring,
and I was like, no, no, no, you gotta stay
up and watch this because the Blue Jays are about
to win, and winning a game seven at home, like baseball,
energy in the postseason is top of the top, Like
(13:01):
football is cool. Basketball is cool, but I don't know
what it is, Like how can you not be romantic
about baseball? Baseball just has that thing where like people
be losing their minds. You'll have three generations of fans
sitting next to each other crying like I never thought
I'd see the day I can die happy now and
(13:22):
the kids like is this gonna last forever? And it's not,
but you get to see all that kind of emotion
right there. So I was like, Ays, you gotta stay up,
you gotta stay up. Blue Jays were what two outs
away from winning and or maybe it was I forget
when that guy hit who was it Rojas the second
(13:46):
basement for the Dodgers. That dude hit that home run,
it was just like soul crushing. I was like, okay, Ames,
you can, you can go to bed. Went into extras.
And the cool thing about the Dodgers, like as much
as it sucks that they're just spending more money than
God to get every single good baseball player from around
the world on their team. It was pretty sick that
(14:09):
Game seven, they just threw out all of their top pitchers.
They're like, hey, we're gonna show you our money, right,
big bank, take a little bit. And the last picture
I can't remember his name off the top of my head,
but that guy was incredible. Bases were loaded and he
(14:31):
gets out of it. And then after that you're just
kind of waiting like all right, okay, Dodgers got it.
And then the dude for the Blue Jays was just like,
why are you sliding feet first in a home plate?
They got like a ground ball and the dude was
second basement for the Dodgers bobbles it and you're like, oh,
(14:51):
could this be it? And the dude for the Blue Jays, like,
I get he couldn't get a big secondary leagues. He
didn't want to get, you know, thrown out on third,
But you don't slide feet first Game seven into home plate, dude,
like you're either sprinting through or you're doing the Pete
Rose Charlie Hustle Swan dive into the plate. And then
(15:12):
they were like replaying it, which thankfully, Like, I'm sorry
the Blue Jays loss, but that would have been the
dumbest way or the most anti climactic way to end
that game.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Is well after review, the Blue Jays are the World
Series champions.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
That would have been stupid. So it sucks that it
happened the way it did. But that was still one
of the best World Series I think I've ever seen.
That was just that was awesome, man. But outside of
you know, sports, real world stuff still going on, Like
people are losing their snap benefits and not being able
(15:49):
to get food, and like people are getting mad that
they had them to begin with, which I gotta be honest,
I don't care, you know what I mean. If someone
doesn't want to work, that's their life. Okay, I still
have to pay taxes for shit. I don't want to
pay anyway. I don't care if it goes to somebody
that's getting food. It would be awesome to sit around
and do nothing all day. I don't have that in me,
(16:10):
so I don't do it. Some people are cool with
doing that, and then some people have had tough lives
where they've had, you know, twenty bad things happen to
them and they end up like, hey, I can't do anything.
This is it. I've seen life beat people up that
were in better situations to where they didn't end up
out on the street, but they could have if they
(16:32):
didn't have people around them. And there's some people that
just don't have people around them. And like the fact
that people are getting mad that people have benefit, like
the amount of videos I saw where people are like
celebrating Snap benefits going away. It's like, come on, man,
have a little bit of empathy, you know what I mean.
(16:57):
I just I don't understand, Like when did rooting for
rich people become a thing that's dork behavior one rich,
Like if you were rooting for the Dodgers and you
don't live in Los Angeles, go fuck yourself. It's the
same thing with Snap better You're you're like happy that people, Yeah,
goot a job, bum, they're not in your situation and
(17:18):
wife sucks. Sometimes. I just I don't understand, Like I
saw this thing, uh the other day that said the
ten richest people on the planet got five hundred billion
dollars richer just this year, And it's like, do you
think you're gonna become that the ship sailed dude, like,
(17:43):
you're not gonna be a billionaire. Maybe you got like
a billion dollar idea somewhere, but the chances of it
happening are to go play the lottery, dude. That's the
only shot we got to be a millionaire, because even
if it gets up over a billion, you know, after
taxes and everything, the lump sum, you're still a millionaire.
It's a lot of money. You don't need a billion dollars.
(18:08):
And I'm pretty sure anytime the lottery gets up over
a billion dollars, like when it gets to one billion
or two billion, the CIA or FBI somehow gets that.
I don't believe that goes to actual people. Or maybe
they're just using it to set a trap to catch
time travelers. I don't know, but it's just like, it's
it's sad that people are like happy that other people
(18:31):
are suffering. Like, I give a fuck. How you live
your life, I'm living mine. Do I wish it was better? Yes?
Do I think taking a candy bar and a hamburger
out of your mouth is gonna make my wife that
much better?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Give a shit, have a couple of noodles. That's how
some people saying like there was a somebody posted like
a picture of a Surwoin steak with the Snap Benefits
sticker on it or something, and people are commenting, well,
why why is that snap benefit Poor people can't have steak?
(19:05):
Who gives a fuck, dude, live your life, man.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Well that really affects my bottom whate.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
No with that, not that much, you know what I mean,
like all the other stuff we gotta pay for. I
pay a shit ton of money to not have potholes
where I drive. There's still potholes. So obviously that money's
not going there, le go to people who need food.
Be happy about that shit. I watched this, uh watch
this documentary that just came out on Netflix called The
(19:36):
White House Effect. It was pretty good. It was a
good watch. It was like kind of showing how corruption
in the government happens. Like George H. W.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Bush was like, I'm gonna help climate change and I'm
gonna get the Earth under control.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And then Exon and all these big oil companies were like,
what if we paid scientists to say the opposite and
we messed everything up? Like it's crazy, we need to
bring back Schoolhouse Rock, but like update it, like have
the whole piece paper going. I'm just a bill ob
just a bill waiting for cub of these the cup
(20:12):
and put up some mills, get a red and blue
tie to jump up and hill and look for more
poor people to kill. But a chill that. Yeah, I'm
just a bill howl to whistle that. No, all right,
white or note. Anybody see that Sidney Sweeney picture. Nope,
(20:34):
I didn't either. All right, let's get to your let's
get your headline of the week, and then we'll get
into the interview with Murrh from Impractical Jokers. The uber
Ceo predicts that at about twenty years, every car on
the road will be fully autonomous, and human driving will
become a leisure activity like horseback riding. Today, we're gonna
(20:57):
have car girls and guys. You know, was you ever
were you mean in high school? You'd be like, oh yeah,
horse girl. Yeah, what a weirdo. That's what they're gonna
be doing in like twenty forty, Like, oh yeah, cargirl,
what a weirdo? She acts to drive idiot. She also
(21:18):
says that society may eventually question whether people should even
be allowed to drive on open roads. It's ridiculous, Like
do we not see that I robot is happening in
real time. Go back the Will Smith movie I Robot.
It's set in twenty thirty two. It's coming up. Dude.
(21:38):
We already got you see that, got the the house
robots already.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
For twenty thousand dollars or just fifty five hundred easy
payments of twenty nine ninety nine, you can have your
own robots servant.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's crazy. We got them in the house, and now
they're gonna be like, Eh, you can't drive a car.
It's too dangerous. We're gonna take that out of your hand,
and you know how, they're gonna get us where. Everybody's
gonna agree to this, because they're gonna announce it like
right as everybody's sitting in rush hour traffic. They're gonna
be like, are people pissing you off? Does nobody know
(22:14):
what the left lane on the highway is for? Is
merging on the highway way too difficult for some human beings?
You're gonna be sitting there going.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Yeah, that's stupid, Get them out of there.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Well, we have the robot driving car that will take
you anywhere and you can get hammered in it while
it drives you. That's where we're going they're just selling
us like, hey, this is nice. You don't you don't
need to do this in life easier. This is what
the future is about. Just let a robot do it.
Be lazy like those AI commercials, Chat, GPT and Gemini.
(22:51):
It's always the dumbest shit. It's like some guys like, hey, Google,
how do I talk to a girl? Google's like go
up to her and say hi.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
We're Goh shit, thanks Google.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
They want us to stop using our brains. Man, driving
a car is really hard, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah? Yeah, it is mercury.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
What if we just drove for you all?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Thanks Ford.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
They're making us stupid and we're wenning it happen.

of The Impractical Jokers James Murray. Murr. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Hey, how are you buddy?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I'm doing great. I get to talk to an impractical joker.
This is weird. It feels like my TV's alive right now. Man,
So are you excited to come to Indy.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
See, I'm so excited. I got five shows this week
at the Healing Coming Club. I got one Thursday night too,
Friday to Saturday.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
It's all.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
India is my favorite city in the country, no joke.
And I'm not just saying that because my favorite.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Restaurant in the world is in Indianapolis and we go.
You'll see me there guarantee this weekend.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What uh, what's your favorite restaurant in India?
Speaker 5 (24:16):
I mean, you can't beat Saint Almos man like.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
The shrimp cocktail, I do it. Look, there's a great seakhouse,
great rushauran, good staff, the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Light. You've been there before, everybody in India has.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Right, But the shrimp cocktail so good. It will put
hair on your chest, you know. And my cousin who's
with me on tour, he can't stand the cocktails us
and I forced.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Him to eat it every time we come to India.
It's the best. So look, last time it was India.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Like a year or two ago, we were at the airport
the next morning, eight in the morning, off like it's late,
like two hours and there's a Saint Almos in the
airport and I forced him at eight am to.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Eat the cocktail sauce again, dude. I flip in love Indy.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Dude. That's awesome and hilarious that you got your cousin
try the cocktail sauce even though he hates it. I
feel like that's a rite of passage because my hate
spicy food. And I did the same thing. I was like, hey,
you got to take a spoonful of this, come on,
you know, in a.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
In true jokers fashion for his Christmas gift last year.
Last year, I sent him like a case of cocktail sauce.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Almost you're sitting in the back like, yeah, now go
ahead and just shotgun it out of the bottle.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
That's awesome, man. So what can we expect because we've
all seen you on TV. We know impractical jokers, but
maybe some people haven't seen you actually do stand up.
You are a hilarious comedian. What's a Murr comedy show?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Like?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
I mean, it's so much fun, dude.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Every show is different, So you could come five times
and see five different shows.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Seriously, like, because the first half of the show is
you know, like stam comedy.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I tell stories from jokers and from life, and you know,
absolutely embarrassing things I've done. But the second half of
the show, truly, I do not know what's going to happen.
We make it up as we go.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
I play two games with the audience. It's different every night.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
One is where I borrow three audience members cell phones
and I start texting from their phone on their behalf
as if on them, and it's absolute chaos. Right, It's
always different. It's inspired by them and their life.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
And what's going on.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
And then the last thing we do in every show
is we play in practical Jokers Live, meaning I choose
from someone from the crowd, put an earpiece in their ear.
I'm gonna send them out in the streets of Indianapolis.
We're gonna watch on screen and live on the spot
they've got to do and say what I tell them
to the cops of the cult.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Dude, that is awesome. See, if you guys don't go
buy tickets this weekend, you're gonna miss that. That's crazy, dude.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Yeah, And you can get your tickets to the Healing
Comedy Club where merlive dot com. It's a shortcut, but
I'll get you there too.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
That's what's up. So obviously people are very brave because
I got to be honest. I don't know if I'm
just giving my phone out to a comic to uh
just text anybody in my phone.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
But well I do. At the up of the game,
I say, there are some criteria. Number one, if you're
cheating in your spouse, don't give me your phone.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
It's the most it's happened on stage.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
I'm like, this guy's clearly cheating.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You know, one situation a woman was clearly cheating and
the guy stormed out of the club.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
It was great, great comedy. Though.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, I'm sure that was hilarious. It's like, hey, we
caused a divorce, but are we martyring the night? And
everybody's that's what's up?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Well, I know it's gonna be a fun weekend at
Helium Comedy Club. Five shows you can go to. I
do got to ask though, I was checking out your Instagram,
did you are you turning into a robot? What was
that thing that you unboxed with your wife that was
like robot legs?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Oh dude, that's crazy. I'm looking like a huge tech
guy and they sent me this. Uh it's like an exoskeleton.
It's in for free right without any requirements. And I
was like, well, let me at LEAs suppost video about it,
you know, because you know.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
We look, man, I'm on Channel one million. I never
get sent free stuff ever, you.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Know, like I certainly am not getting sent hair.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Products, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
So they sent me like this exoskeleton to hikes because
my wife and I all was on. It's like flipping.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Terminator, It's wild. It like lifts your knees.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I have a pretty skinny guy, so I imagine it would
be more helpful to someone that you know, isn't doesn't
weigh sixty pounds wet right.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's awesome. Did you kind of feel like Iron Man
putting it on?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Not quite as cool because I'm a balding, middle aged man,
you know, without armor, without weapons of any kind.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
So I didn't feel quite as cool, but I appreciate
the analogy.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Okay, well hey we'll get there all right, Bro? Is
there anything else you want to promote or something you're
excited about? No, man, I mean you know.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Brandow season in Private Drovere starts to January fifteenth on TBS.
The opening episode, Salve was the episode and we made
him go through a haunted house while on the phone
with Spectrum Cable trying to cancel with cable service.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Dude, it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
And then this weekon Indianapolis gets tickets at murderlog dot com.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
It's gonna be an absolute blast.
Speaker 2 (28:54):

to talk to me.
Speaker 5 (28:57):

get anybody in too much trouble when they're doing the
impractical Jokers part of the show, but I know it's
