Speaker 2 (00:54):

why don't you look at it?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'll get the exact There we go.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I want to know how long ago, because a lot
of our listeners might not even know who the Hungry was.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It was a third season, No She's Sorry, third season,
third season two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Third season of two thousand and four. William Hung became
a phenom by singing, auditioning with the song she Bangs
by Ricky Martin, and it was not good, but he
became loved by America. Beloved because he came out energy, passion, showmanship,
(01:34):
all these things.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
But the thing it was missing was a good voice.
He didn't really have that.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
But then Simon cow was of course toxic, and then
he he he was. He had almost the enthusiasm and
optimism of like a young child, where it's like I
gave it my best try, and America's hearing.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Of course, everybody felt in love with them. America did,
and we were.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
No different than America. We found love with William Hum.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Okay, fast forward years later, William Hung's life is a rollercoaster.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay, and one day.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
The one thing he does is he records multiple albums.
I don't know how many albums it was of pure covers, right,
he covers I don't know how many songs across his
anthology has to.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Be four hundred and fifty albums.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Four albums.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Four albums he did and I got them all, Yeah,
traded four albums.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Okay, see, all the kids are waiting for BTS. Yeah,
I'm in a BTS. I like K pop where you
got to take the boy or girl, flip them over,
look at their body part to see if it's a
boy or girl, and then put them back the death right. Okay, great,
you all wait for K pop. I was in the weeds, yes,
in the weeds, when there were no Asian pop stars.
The old Asian pop star out there, William Hung.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's that's right, baby. He was the side before a sigh.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You want a little Serpent Safari, He's got it, got you? Yeah,
you want a little I Love La, He loves it,
He's got it all. Hung was there for me.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
He did that. He did a Christmas album. It was great.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And on the road when Steve and I would be together,
we'd be driving through Nebraska or what have you, Iowa's
four hour five hours drives. We would just throw on
the Hung and he would serenade us through the states
that's right, and we would just.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Sing along and have a great time. And we owed
a lot to that. I knew what a big fan
Steve was.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
If you follow him on his Instagram, he also puts
every time he has tour dates up the soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Every song is a William Hunk song.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So I knew y'all what you loved Hung, And I said,
how do I get Steve's a William hung themed present?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It started with a theme.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I was like, maybe I could go back and get
an American Idol poster, send it to the Hunge, get
him to hung it on his wall.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Maybe that's what we want to do. I didn't know
what we were going to do.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I was going to get him to do a parody
of twelve Angry Men and call it the Hung Jury
had all these ideas. Then I opened cameo. Yes, and
you could order cameos from William Hunk. I don't know
what the going rate is now, but I was like,
I could get him. I could get him that. And
then there's a little thing on the on the side
there it says, send me send William a message.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I was like, let's shoot our shot here. I knew
we had a big We had a big event for
your fiftieth birthday. We were doing the Mario Lemieux Foundation
charity event, the comedy Jam, the third one, which was great.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It was a fantastic night.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
And in this comedy jam you have to perform a
live set and then you sing a song, which I
would had to do. And I said, wow, this would
be really fun if I could get William Hunk to
come on and sing Steve's favorite, I Love La, one
of Steve's favorites.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I should say. So I reach out, Yeah, okay, I
have my team reach out to.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
The Yah team reaches out and says, hey, you want
to come out to Pittsburgh for a night and uh,
you know, come out and perform in this charity event.
We'd love to have you. And uh, we'd love for
you to perform. Uh, I believe it could.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Fly or we love La.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, and I love La.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And because those are two of your top bangers from
the hung from the Hunksky.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Any of them, any of them, there's no way you
can't be disappointed. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So so he writes back. He writes back to the people.
He says, hey, I'm interested. He's like, but uh, you know,
I would like to you know, I between those two,
I'd rather do I believe I could fly, And then
I was thinking about my set and I was like, oh,
one of my jokes actually talks to you about the
Circle of Life. Could we get Hung to sing circle Life?
So my team goes back, Hey, William, you know, let's
(05:26):
can we do Circle of Life?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Love it? What version do you want to do? When
he sends us a karaoke version.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I meant, do you want to do the Elton or
the movie version? He sends back to the karaoke version
that he wants to do. So we get the karaoke track,
We send it over and I say, A right, We're
gonna surprise. We're gonna bring out William Hung. We talk numbers,
we get Hung on the payroll.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Come on out.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
He's going to come out for a paid appearance. Okay,
when do you want to come out? To get to LA?
From LA to Pittsburgh, there's only one there's one flight
with a connection because he only flies spirit No, he
only flies southwest.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
He only only flies southwest.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Hung only to southwest, only southwest.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He will only fly. So there's only one flight and
it's a red eye.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
It leaves goes overnight, connects to wherever he takes about
eight hours get to Pittsburgh. Okay, so he gets there. Okay,
Now we keep him as a surprise from you, because
I don't want.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
To say this is this is during a global technical meltdown. Yes,
so all the flights were cancer everything went to hell.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, I ended up having to drive there and we
made sure Ahunk could get there. I we Now he
gets here, and it's a surprise from you, so I
know he can't. We have to plan, so we can't
come down and rehearse. We have to plan. Well, you're
not there, so he could come down rehearse, and we
have to keep him from you. But this is the
only flight that gets in at four am. So now
William Hung has to stay in his hotel room from
when he lands at four am because you're all over,
(06:39):
You're all over.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
The hotel and you're only stayed to Lakito.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
So he's in the hotel room. But we have to
keep him from you. We can't let him. We can't
have you stumble onto the.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
House in jail. So he was locked up in his
way by the way recovering like addictive gambler. And the
show takes place at a casino.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Right, so we lock him up four am. He's in
the room and we keep him in his room. He's like,
how do I eat?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
We send them food. We send them food.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
He's like, you can't leave, you can't leave. Then we're like,
all we're gonna speak into rehearsals. We come back from
out and about shopping. I say to you, He's like,
I have to rehearse. I said, because he's a showman.
And I said, I said, all right, what are you doing.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You're gonna go up to your room.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You're like, no, I'm just gonna come and hang out
the rehearsals. I'm like, and we didn't want to put
you onto the center of this someone was happening. So
what we had to do is I had to perform
Circle of Life. We videoed it and sent Shay up
to the hotel room with the videos.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
When he watched.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It, Yeah, So then we're like, okay, we're gonna bring
down William Hong's or a place for us to hold
them downstairs. He's got to be close, but we don't
want Steve to see him. And the only other place
to hold him was in the back. There was a back.
There was a back. No, there was an office, an
operating office that had people working in it, and William wanted.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Took one of the standalone offices.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And there's people going about I'll do it vocals, and
William Long is sitting in this performance shirt.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Hanging out when I want to meet him for the
first time. How are you great? Game a hug, Good
to see you. Just hang out here. The show's running along.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
He's in the back office for an additional forty five minutes.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
How do I eat?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So he asked for food again. We had to get
him food. Yes, we got him food from.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
The hotel that we had to deliver it to him
because they can't bring it down. So he's eating in
the back as people are going, oh my god, now
it's time.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Now, it's time for the show. It's time for the
big reveal.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I can't wait to come up right, And you are
trying to go to the back where he is where
they're holding him, and Wyatt has to look at you,
the guy, the pretty one of the producers, the show
is great.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Guy looks you dead in the face and goes, Steve,

Speaker 1 (09:14):
I ever cooked my dinner and they start dancing. But anyway,
so I'm just sitting there and enjoying the show, and
I don't think. I don't think anything of it. I
just think why it's being a pain in the ass,

Speaker 2 (09:25):
So now I want to call you up, and we
bring Stevie up to the stage and I say, Steve, I.

Gonna ask me to sing with you. To be honest,
I thought that's what you were gonna ask me to do.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I had a different I had a different Asian in
mind to sing with me, and I and I saw
I bring Hung to the stage because I say, with Steve,

almost dead at this point fifty, you know. And I
was like, it's almost a fie. Let's sing the Circle
of Life. And you're thinking you're gonna ask you together.
(10:15):
But I say, there's two versions of the song that
we all love. The Elton John version and everybody's gonna
thin I'm gonna say the movie version, I say, and
the William Hung version.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
And your face when I said his name changed, you went,

yourself out of it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You're like there's no way. He got William hung hey,

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Welcome to the stage, American idle phenom William Hunk.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
The place goes nuts, went crazy full. I want to
show the picture here. This is the picture of you falling.
Speaker 1 (10:55):

that picture because because John got me going down.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Look at your face. You fell to the floor, fell
to the.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Ground like completely, just like a superboy. I'm giddy, I'm
beyond happy. I'm the kid in the toys like I
got Richard Pryor as my toy. Just unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
He took He took the stage in his shirt that
didn't quit. That was an amazing outfit for together. We
lost it.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
He went and performed this hard. The crowd got into it.
They put on the flashlights. Everybody was doing the back
and forth with it.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
But you missed.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I also picked four fans out of the crowd and
I gave them in fly inflatable animal outfits like you know,
like a Calloween costumes. There's an inflatable lion, a zebra,
a skunk zebra.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Was it was totally like a method actor.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yes, because going around I got into it. They loved it.
And then I gave to everybody.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
That you picked those people out at the beginning of
the show, and when you got them they were fucking hammered. Yes,
so you had a drunk zebra, a drunk gazelle, drunk.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Each other hand. They couldn't see anything.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The lions bumping into people.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
They were great.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And then all the band members had animal masks.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So we tried to someone the whole stage.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I have to tell you when when William Hung came out,
I did drop to the ground. It was like one
of those out of body experiences and I couldn't stop laughing,
enjoying it, like enjoying the moment. And I literally somebody
sent me footage of me. I'm staring at him like
I'm staring at him, and then I would look over
(12:27):
the screen and I'm like, like, like when you see
yourself on a security camera, ye, like I would like
I was looking at him. I was like, oh my god,
William Hung is at you here? And then to hear
him sing.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
But then the.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Whole audience got behind it was it was one of them.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's a great song. It's a singa walgue song. It
was a great choice.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Okay. So the comedy Jam for those who don't know,
we do the show in Pittsburgh. It's a it's a
it's a benefit from Mario Lemuse Cancer Foundation, my childhood
hero growing up. Third year, third sellout. Last year we
had you on and you took it to a place
that nobody's took it to.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You had Jiggy there, background dancers, I confetti, Yes, I
was a show, letters, letters and everything I sang. I
sang f you by Selo Green last.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Year and it became a full on Broadway production, right Okay.
And what I loved about it is you said, watch
watch this and then do me favorite. Watch Sal's face
when I do this, because South Funk Camp was gonna
follow you. And you had all these background dancers, letters,
you had a costume, you had a crown, you gave
(13:40):
sunglasses there my son Stiles the gold sunglasses. And I'm
watching it, I'm dying laughing because you were just I'm
a showman, total showman. The place went banana sport. Okay,
Sal is sitting there gone yeah, uh huh, and it
was just like, oh, you just buried him, so salad
(14:02):
is nothing. So that was like the bar is set right.
And then this this show, it was a banger lineup
best show we've ever done. I've heard it repeatedly, just
beyond the best show we've ever had. I think what
you did is you brought hung out and now the
bar is set of like great, now we have to
get a guest star of the show that nobody knows
what doing next year. Yeah, but that's like that's gonna
(14:24):
be what people expected. Well, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It's funny because when I came when I came into
the building, people are like, oh, how are you going
out to last year?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And I was like, don't even worry about it and
they were like what No. I was like, I got it.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Don't worry about it because the best part is our
friend normally joins us there, Mark your guardian and Jiggy,
and he's the only bars I could tell nobody five
people in the building knew.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
No one knew why.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I didn't even tell about why Shay the band I
told that the last minute door rehearsals is like, guys,
I'm filming this for somebody's gonna come out and sing.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'm like, it's not me, it's William Hung. And I went,
what it was great, and that's it. That's all we told.
And they ain't found out.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Three hours before the show, I called Jiggy and I said, Jiggy,
I know you have a lot going on in your
life right now, but if you could make it to Pittsburgh,
you're gonna want to because I just bumked William Hung.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
I was getting screenshots and communications and I'm like, I'm like,
oh my god. I was like looking to see if
I could walk to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
From my driver, our driver, Nick of Integrity Transportation Services, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
If you're in.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Pittsburgh he he goes, so this is how deep, this
is how detailed. Joe didn't tell anybody, And so Wyatt
put our guests down as Michael Knight. That was Michael Knight,
and so he the driver's thinking, am I picking up
Michael Knight? Like? Am I picking up David picking up?
And and the wife goes, who are you picking up?
(15:42):
He's like, I don't know, it's Michael Knight. It's got
to be you know, a cover name or whatever. So
he pulls. He said, he's pulling up.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
To pick him up at the airport. Right.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
This is also four am after he came to stand
from Detroit from via via l a X.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
He see he pustly calm. He goes, there's just one
man standing there. He goes, he's getting closer and closer.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
He goes, no fucking.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
He goes his head William. And then my favorite line,
my favorite line. We're talking afterwards and I was like,
I cannot believe you got William hung. And he's like,
look you listen them all the time. I'm thinking I'm
gonna get William hung, and uh gotta tell you, Steve,
it's pretty gettable.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I couldn't believe that we were able to get him. So,
my god, happy birthday, my friend. I hope you enjoyed
the hungout. That's great.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
It was.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It was one. Honestly, I've done a lot of big
surprises and I do.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I love doing, but you know me, I love to
be big, do big things things that take especially things
that take planning and stuff like that to get that moment.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
That is the top three.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
That's up there with when I proposed to my wife,
of what your face when you fell to the floor
and that was everything for me, all the work, everything
that was so good.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
And you're such a good guy and a good friend.
Like to give that to you was so great.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So I love you man.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Honestly, that was so fun.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
My wife and I were talking about it because there's
all the stress of putting that show on every year. Okay,
it's a lot of moving parts, as you guys know.
This year it was I think it was like nine
or ten comics. It was a ton of comics because
there were comics that said they couldn't do it. Then
like a month out they said they could do it.
So there, I'm not going to say no. Then that
technical meltdown that happened that through a wrench to it,
(17:35):
but we were able to overcome everything. We lost a
few comics due to it. But that part game Friday,
they came from behind. It was an amazing It was
the first sellout at P and C Park really since
twenty twelve. They went to the Wildcard, so they had
not sold the ballpark out, and they came back against
the best team in baseball, the Phillies, so it's an
(17:55):
interstate rivalry. It just everything lined up perfectly in the
ninth inning walk off to to win the game. It
was unbelievable. Then the fireworks afterwards, and my wife and
I are just like, I think this is gonna be
a great weekend, you know. And then we did the
show that night and everything went off with a without
a hit. We raised a ton of money for the
Maria Lumou Foundation. Every comic had a great time. You're
(18:17):
at the craps table, billings Leeve's playing black Jack, Gardell's
hanging out, Roy's hanging It's just a great, great evening.
And there was a moment where Jess and I, my wife,
just sat back and we were looking at it all
like this is great, Like it all worked out, and
she said happy birthday, and I like I could get emotional, like,
you know, I'm not a big birthday guy, but on
(18:38):
my fiftieth to like do it and sit back. And
I'm sitting at the bar looking at everybody, people you
love that have come in and out of your lives
at different times. They're all there together to put on
a show and you share the stage with them. It
was just the greatest. It literally was the best birthday
I've ever had. It was the best comedy jam I've
ever been a part of. And after that William Hung thing,
(19:01):
maybe every fifteen to twenty minutes, I just start laughing
at myself. I just start laughing to myself, like fuck.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
He just kept saying to me how I was like,
wait to the podcast I'll tell you about and it was.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So fucking great. And I'm telling you like it was
one of those things where Jess and I got home
and I was talking about its still, like I kept
bringing him up, like I cannot be way munk and
she and she's like, she's like, that's a friend, you
know to make that happen. And it's so true. You're
you're somebody over the over the last few years since
I've been hanging out with you. Obviously we're on camera,
(19:34):
but this is something I would say to you on
the phone, you know, midnight or whatever, but when we
talk sometimes. But I truly love you. I appreciate our
friendship so much more than you'll ever know, and I
absolutely consider you one of my best pals.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And Hung sealed it. I'm Hung sealed it, but I'm
telling you.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
After he was there and then he stayed for the encore,
didn't know any of the words didn't know anything, didn't
know we said, we said them the last didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It was so much.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
It goes the line is all I want for Christmas
is you baby?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Right? So I was like, he's got to know you.
Speaker 3 (20:09):

and he goes, you man, But he's got You know
what I will say about his performing style, he's because
he's his two step is on point, he does his
his bop is phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
He is on beating Willi Willie Hung the app will
I'm saying. So I'm trying to think.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I'm trying to think what would you say before William Hung?
Like when you were I'm trying to like what was
your now it's a life pre and post hung right
like before? What is the best before pre Hung?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
What was the best gift that I've got?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I'm trying to think like when I was little, or
a gift that got me, like when I was little,
when I got my Nintendo. Of course it gets every
kid's born, right, anybody our age, whenever you got Nintendo
as the gift that was definitely up there. Pipeworks for
me when I got pipeworks. Like I'm trying to think, like,
what is something that floored me? Like you got floored
with that? Yeah, because that's a that that that moment, man,
(21:15):
And for me, it was so great.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
That's why even like when I post on socials, like
some people get a nice meal, some people get a watch,
write my Sinatra watch. But but I was like, I
got William hung He.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Won't let me wrap them. He wouldn't let me wrap them.

you here. It's a fun charity event, right, like he
was having fun.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Everybody was there. I think he like he didn't couldn't
hear any of the show.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
He had a lot to play. I really wish you
could have seen it more. But but also when he
came out, everybody was on stage. It was a bit
of a clusterfuck, right, But he he told why, he said, Hey,
I love to work together again.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
This was fun.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
So I think we can probably get out next year.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
We'll do it next year.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I would love to see a stand up set.
Speaker 1 (22:04):

That's the second one for show for show number over.
Speaker 2 (22:13):

because your birthday, I put like I was gonna say
that I got you a jacket where I put all
these patches and I ordered for and I was like,

And so I give you a jacket with patches on it,
and you gave me a human being that is in
(22:36):
my ears at least once a day. At least I

Shyamalan's The Happening and the this is We were at
that point, we were somebody. We had shows. We were
on the road doing a show.

wanted to see the Newest Spider Man that came out,
but we didn't want people to We were in like
Peoria or somewhere, and we didn't want people to like
to get We want to be able to watch the movie,
especially that one, right, So we bought the theater. We
(38:12):
bought all the tickets, but you were only capped out
to buy ten tickets per account, so we bought. It
was a forty person theater. It was a small theater,
so we all bought our tickets whatever, and we didn't
buy one ticket. So there was one seat in the
front middle that was sold.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
And we want every day one.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
This is day one, and everybody else bought it, right yea.
So we come and we sit and we go like somebody,
I don't know, I forget who, but somebody just didn't
get that ticket.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
And we'd come in and.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
A guy, the four of us are dead center, third
row from the back, great season, and guy black guy
sits out like this, so now he's like watching.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
I'm like, we buy. So now I feel bad, right,
you know? And well now I feel bad right. So
now it's a former So I go, I go, guys,
we got I guess I gotta tell him whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I was like, I got all right, So I go
up and excuse me, sure, and he said there and
I said, the lights it down, I said, I said,
I said sorry.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
But did he recognize that you can lights it down?
Speaker 3 (39:19):
He doesn't again, so I waited the lights were down,
so I said, hey, I said, you know the movies, don't.
We bought the whole theater. You can sit wherever you want.
I was like, you know, we just all the nobody
else is coming. And he can't wrap his head around
because he's like what, And I'm like, you can sit
wherever you want.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
He goes, no, I bought the seat. I'm like, dude,
you can just shit wherever you want. To worry about it.
So I go and sit. He gets up and he
goes and sits in.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Front of sound one.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
We weren't sitting already. We were sitting like every other
or whatever. So he gets up, south gets him comes,
it's next to me, so god all. And then he
ended up being the loudest.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
He didn't like, he didn't say anything the whole movie whatever,
and then he and then something happened with Spider Man
getting like knocked out a window and he was like
he's like and he yelled out something like he's like,
don't let don't go for that ship Spidery or something
like that, or you know, like he was like the
other thing and that was that.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
It was over. The lights come up. He turned on
and goes, thanks man, he goes, what the fuck? So funny? Yeah,
that was a really funny moment.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
It's tough to top that one.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
But by the way, the fact that that of the
four of us, the one person that would irritate the most.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
He sat got up, sat next to me. He just went,
of course, that's great. Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
This question comes from Natalie. What advice do you have
for navigating a challenging mother in law? Soundly from the
rest of the question, I think the mother in law
either lives close or is challenging, challenging in her life,
very very involved.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
I think in those instances, you think of the love
you have for your wife or husband, my transfer, yeah,
and you just think I'm doing this for you. Yeah,
I'm gonna be his patient in the pocket. I'm going
to power through, whether it's a dinner, whether it's a weekend,
whatever it is. And you just compartmentalize, but you know,
it's like you're you're almost displacing your love for that
(41:17):
moment to kind of like get through it.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
That's how you've given that advice a lot, because you
famously hate your mother in law and you talked about
it all the time.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Oh sorry, Oh no, no, that is not true. So
you just talk you talk about all the time, what
a bitch, and you can't handle it.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
She is.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
You just wish that they would move away.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
I listened to the show you know that?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Oh do that good? Finally she knows.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
No, I honestly truly love I say this is one
of the things that I'm upset about when we get
questions that we can't relate to.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
I hate that because my mother in law is she
doesn't she said five words the whole time I know her.
She's super sweet. Yeah, lives with she cooks for the family,
she lives with us. They're great, you know.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
So I don't have anything to say about that, but
I will say I've seen people, especially my mother, deal
with my grandmother.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
My father's mother was terrible to my mother.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
They had like the stereotypical get you get the fuck
out of my house.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
You might have burned them, but he picked me those
kind of like drop you know, all that kind of stuff. Right,
So I did see that, and I can't that's got
to be a hard existence to add.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
I mean that's to the extreme. They were at the
like the real end of it. But I will say
I think you do have some sage advice in the
fact that you just have to. It's part of the package.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
It's probably the.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Deal, you know what I mean, You had to. It's
the fries to your happy meal, you know what I mean.
You're gonna you're gonna get the fries. You might not
need them, are you gonna get them? It all comes
in the box.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Yeah, there's a treat in there somewhere.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Yeah, maybe maybe try one fry and then throw the
rest out when the not looking.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
But yeah, I think that's hard. But you're right, you
have to just put it. You have to one of
those things you have to suck up and deal with. Yeah,
and eventually they're gonna be dead.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Good. I mean, that's the that's what I was looking at.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Well, you also look at it this way. Be kind,
be courteous, maybe win them over because you'll be in
the will.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
That's right. Get that you got all on the back end,
get some. They might having some.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
They might be having they might be having some. You
know at and T Stock they have been telling the
whole family about it was sitting on some blue chap action.
You're a worried about Crypto, but they got Disney.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
So yeah, that's a good. Yeah, it's all gonna be
self serving.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Is really what we're saying. Oh yeah, but it's also
not permanent. It's not like, it's not like that individuals
living with you, and if if, if that individual is
living with you. As as folks get older, it's like again,
it's one of those things where it's like, all right,
this is a commitment maybe two three years. What you know,
you just got to power through that moment, as tough
as it is, because your love for your husband or
(43:47):
wife should supersede whatever.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
And also they should go to them. You should go
to your significant other to help you with this. There
should be yes, it should be your brunt to bear together.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
Yes, yeah, I think we got time for one more so.
This one is from Edgar. This is a fun one.
Would you rather fight a tiger sized chicken or a
chicken sized tiger? No weapons? Adult animals?
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Okay, like a baby tiger.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
So a tiger, a tiger sized chicken, baby chicken sized tiger.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Chicken sace tiger is a baby tiger. This is not
a good question. You came out, you said, this is
anybody that picks a tiger sized chicken.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
Instead of instead of a baby tiger, I'm gonna kill
a baby tiger.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
You talk about they got claws, boy, tiger sized chicken though,
I'd love to eat that.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
I would hell of a buffalo. Yeah chicken. Wow, that's
a big chicken.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
But you don't why chickens are scary even the size
day Oh, you don't get chased by your chicken fast
trying to do the catch the rocky try to attack
by rogue chicken.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
At they get they'll get super aerodynamic and they come
and get the aggressive They got the aggressive bit you get.
You're not getting just nipped, you're getting packed.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah, you get blood. I'll tiger kills you.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
I'll take my chance with the chicken sized because the
chicken sized. Look, that's a tiger. That's a tiger right
there that I'll.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
Make it does have adult mentality. This isn't like a
baby tiger. This is an adult with hunting instincts.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
But it's still the damage it's going to do is well, they.
Speaker 4 (45:30):
Have fat chickens.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
What they called fact thangs.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Yeah, yeah, right thangs right, that sounded wrong. Yeah, it's
called things. I think they have claws.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
Well you're not too, but they have baby ones.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
But I gotta fight it.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
You gotta fight it. Would rather fight I do.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
I do the I do the chicken sized tiger above
a lot of tiger sized chicken, but tiger's chicken long.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
As I chicken. I am terrified on that an ostrich
to fuck you up?
Speaker 1 (46:04):
Yeah, that's like that's like a chick.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
That's not the like you don't get the length.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
With the neck. But yeah, ostriches are mean, they'll be
the get they get white with their rams, they come out,
they attack people though, have you ever seen that?
Speaker 2 (46:19):
That's like an ostrich is like in a giraffe. Fuck

on crossbed?
Speaker 4 (46:27):
Where are ostriches in the wild Africa?
Speaker 2 (46:29):
African ostrich? Right?
Speaker 4 (46:31):
I was thinking Australia, but maybe I think you maybe No,
they're not Australian.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
The emu, the emo, the cousin maybe down there, but
an Australia.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
We bury your head the sand. That's an ostrich.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
Try. Yeah, so you think it's gonna be Middle Eastern.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Africa is part of the Middle East.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
Yet you're gonna go Eastern Africa. Yeah, they don't live
they don't live in analytica.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
The guy who has the Internet in front of him
as asking.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
Never never even bothers to put in key struct Do you.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
Even have Google on that thing? Where do ostri live?
Multiple ostriches? What is that called ostrich?
Speaker 4 (47:04):
Ostridge lives Australi.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Is it ostrich? Look out for the ostrich, look out
for the ostriches.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
No, it's ostrich, right, yeah, look out for the ostrich.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
But no, no plural of ostrich is Austria Ostriches.
Speaker 4 (47:16):

Africa and small small Somali Austria.

So multiple They only do that with animals, multiple of something,
is it, right? Like moose is moose? Is the mooses?
There's mooses. I said that the moose came through or me,

Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
If you listened to if you follow Steve on any

his life is William Hunk American Idol phenom from when
did he?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
When was you on idol? Buddy? Do you know?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
He was very early?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I think it was season one or two.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Okay, if you had the Internet front of you, so
why don't you look at it?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'll get the exact There we go.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I want to know how long ago, because a lot
of our listeners might not even know who the Hungry was.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It was a third season, No She's Sorry, third season,
third season two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Third season of two thousand and four. William Hung became
a phenom by singing, auditioning with the song she Bangs
by Ricky Martin, and it was not good, but he
became loved by America. Beloved because he came out energy, passion, showmanship,
(01:34):
all these things.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
But the thing it was missing was a good voice.
He didn't really have that.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
But then Simon cow was of course toxic, and then
he he he was. He had almost the enthusiasm and
optimism of like a young child, where it's like I
gave it my best try, and America's hearing.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Of course, everybody felt in love with them. America did,
and we were.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
No different than America. We found love with William Hum.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Okay, fast forward years later, William Hung's life is a rollercoaster.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay, and one day.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
The one thing he does is he records multiple albums.
I don't know how many albums it was of pure covers, right,
he covers I don't know how many songs across his
anthology has to.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Be four hundred and fifty albums.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Four albums.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Four albums he did and I got them all, Yeah,
traded four albums.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Okay, see, all the kids are waiting for BTS. Yeah,
I'm in a BTS. I like K pop where you
got to take the boy or girl, flip them over,
look at their body part to see if it's a
boy or girl, and then put them back the death right. Okay, great,
you all wait for K pop. I was in the weeds, yes,
in the weeds, when there were no Asian pop stars.
The old Asian pop star out there, William Hung.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's that's right, baby. He was the side before a sigh.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You want a little Serpent Safari, He's got it, got you? Yeah,
you want a little I Love La, He loves it,
He's got it all. Hung was there for me.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
He did that. He did a Christmas album. It was great.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And on the road when Steve and I would be together,
we'd be driving through Nebraska or what have you, Iowa's
four hour five hours drives. We would just throw on
the Hung and he would serenade us through the states
that's right, and we would just.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Sing along and have a great time. And we owed
a lot to that. I knew what a big fan
Steve was.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
If you follow him on his Instagram, he also puts
every time he has tour dates up the soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Every song is a William Hunk song.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So I knew y'all what you loved Hung, And I said,
how do I get Steve's a William hung themed present?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It started with a theme.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I was like, maybe I could go back and get
an American Idol poster, send it to the Hunge, get
him to hung it on his wall.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Maybe that's what we want to do. I didn't know
what we were going to do.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I was going to get him to do a parody
of twelve Angry Men and call it the Hung Jury
had all these ideas. Then I opened cameo. Yes, and
you could order cameos from William Hunk. I don't know
what the going rate is now, but I was like,
I could get him. I could get him that. And
then there's a little thing on the on the side
there it says, send me send William a message.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I was like, let's shoot our shot here. I knew
we had a big We had a big event for
your fiftieth birthday. We were doing the Mario Lemieux Foundation
charity event, the comedy Jam, the third one, which was great.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It was a fantastic night.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
And in this comedy jam you have to perform a
live set and then you sing a song, which I
would had to do. And I said, wow, this would
be really fun if I could get William Hunk to
come on and sing Steve's favorite, I Love La, one
of Steve's favorites.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I should say. So I reach out, Yeah, okay, I
have my team reach out to.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
The Yah team reaches out and says, hey, you want
to come out to Pittsburgh for a night and uh,
you know, come out and perform in this charity event.
We'd love to have you. And uh, we'd love for
you to perform. Uh, I believe it could.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Fly or we love La.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, and I love La.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And because those are two of your top bangers from
the hung from the Hunksky.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Any of them, any of them, there's no way you
can't be disappointed. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So so he writes back. He writes back to the people.
He says, hey, I'm interested. He's like, but uh, you know,
I would like to you know, I between those two,
I'd rather do I believe I could fly, And then
I was thinking about my set and I was like, oh,
one of my jokes actually talks to you about the
Circle of Life. Could we get Hung to sing circle Life?
So my team goes back, Hey, William, you know, let's
(05:26):
can we do Circle of Life?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Love it? What version do you want to do? When
he sends us a karaoke version.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I meant, do you want to do the Elton or
the movie version? He sends back to the karaoke version
that he wants to do. So we get the karaoke track,
We send it over and I say, A right, We're
gonna surprise. We're gonna bring out William Hung. We talk numbers,
we get Hung on the payroll.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Come on out.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
He's going to come out for a paid appearance. Okay,
when do you want to come out? To get to LA?
From LA to Pittsburgh, there's only one there's one flight
with a connection because he only flies spirit No, he
only flies southwest.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
He only only flies southwest.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Hung only to southwest, only southwest.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He will only fly. So there's only one flight and
it's a red eye.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
It leaves goes overnight, connects to wherever he takes about
eight hours get to Pittsburgh. Okay, so he gets there. Okay,
Now we keep him as a surprise from you, because
I don't want.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
To say this is this is during a global technical meltdown. Yes,
so all the flights were cancer everything went to hell.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, I ended up having to drive there and we
made sure Ahunk could get there. I we Now he
gets here, and it's a surprise from you, so I
know he can't. We have to plan, so we can't
come down and rehearse. We have to plan. Well, you're
not there, so he could come down rehearse, and we
have to keep him from you. But this is the
only flight that gets in at four am. So now
William Hung has to stay in his hotel room from
when he lands at four am because you're all over,
(06:39):
You're all over.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
The hotel and you're only stayed to Lakito.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
So he's in the hotel room. But we have to
keep him from you. We can't let him. We can't
have you stumble onto the.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
House in jail. So he was locked up in his
way by the way recovering like addictive gambler. And the
show takes place at a casino.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Right, so we lock him up four am. He's in
the room and we keep him in his room. He's like,
how do I eat?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
We send them food. We send them food.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
He's like, you can't leave, you can't leave. Then we're like,
all we're gonna speak into rehearsals. We come back from
out and about shopping. I say to you, He's like,
I have to rehearse. I said, because he's a showman.
And I said, I said, all right, what are you doing.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You're gonna go up to your room.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You're like, no, I'm just gonna come and hang out
the rehearsals. I'm like, and we didn't want to put
you onto the center of this someone was happening. So
what we had to do is I had to perform
Circle of Life. We videoed it and sent Shay up
to the hotel room with the videos.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
When he watched.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It, Yeah, So then we're like, okay, we're gonna bring
down William Hong's or a place for us to hold
them downstairs. He's got to be close, but we don't
want Steve to see him. And the only other place
to hold him was in the back. There was a back.
There was a back. No, there was an office, an
operating office that had people working in it, and William wanted.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Took one of the standalone offices.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And there's people going about I'll do it vocals, and
William Long is sitting in this performance shirt.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Hanging out when I want to meet him for the
first time. How are you great? Game a hug, Good

I ever cooked my dinner and they start dancing. But anyway,
so I'm just sitting there and enjoying the show, and
I don't think. I don't think anything of it. I

Gonna ask me to sing with you. To be honest,
I thought that's what you were gonna ask me to do.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I had a different I had a different Asian in
mind to sing with me, and I and I saw
I bring Hung to the stage because I say, with Steve,
do I give a little speech about how what great

was like, it's almost a fie. Let's sing the Circle
of Life. And you're thinking you're gonna ask you together.
(10:15):
But I say, there's two versions of the song that
we all love. The Elton John version and everybody's gonna
thin I'm gonna say the movie version, I say, and
the William Hung version.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
And your face when I said his name changed, you went,
you went oh, And then it went.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Like a dough all ideary boy, and then you talk
yourself out of it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You're like there's no way. He got William hung hey,

Speaker 3 (10:37):
And then I said, and now, ladies and gentlemen, I
would like and you went you audibly went.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
No that please.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Welcome to the stage, American idle phenom William Hunk.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
The place goes nuts, went crazy full. I want to
show the picture here. This is the picture of you falling.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It is a genuine You can see pure joy in
that picture because because John got me going down.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Look at your face. You fell to the floor, fell
to the.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Ground like completely, just like a superboy. I'm giddy, I'm
beyond happy. I'm the kid in the toys like I
got Richard Pryor as my toy. Just unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
He took He took the stage in his shirt that
didn't quit. That was an amazing outfit for together. We
lost it.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
He went and performed this hard. The crowd got into it.
They put on the flashlights. Everybody was doing the back
and forth with it.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
But you missed.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I also picked four fans out of the crowd and
I gave them in fly inflatable animal outfits like you know,
like a Calloween costumes. There's an inflatable lion, a zebra,
a skunk zebra.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Was it was totally like a method actor.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yes, because going around I got into it. They loved it.
And then I gave to everybody.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
That you picked those people out at the beginning of
the show, and when you got them they were fucking hammered. Yes,
so you had a drunk zebra, a drunk gazelle, drunk.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Each other hand. They couldn't see anything.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The lions bumping into people.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
They were great.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And then all the band members had animal masks.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So we tried to someone the whole stage.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I have to tell you when when William Hung came out,
I did drop to the ground. It was like one
of those out of body experiences and I couldn't stop laughing,
enjoying it, like enjoying the moment. And I literally somebody
sent me footage of me. I'm staring at him like
I'm staring at him, and then I would look over
(12:27):
the screen and I'm like, like, like when you see
yourself on a security camera, ye, like I would like
I was looking at him. I was like, oh my god,
William Hung is at you here? And then to hear
him sing.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
But then the.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Whole audience got behind it was it was one of them.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's a great song. It's a singa walgue song. It
was a great choice.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Okay. So the comedy Jam for those who don't know,
we do the show in Pittsburgh. It's a it's a
it's a benefit from Mario Lemuse Cancer Foundation, my childhood
hero growing up. Third year, third sellout. Last year we
had you on and you took it to a place
that nobody's took it to.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You had Jiggy there, background dancers, I confetti, Yes, I
was a show, letters, letters and everything I sang. I
sang f you by Selo Green last.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Year and it became a full on Broadway production, right Okay.
And what I loved about it is you said, watch
watch this and then do me favorite. Watch Sal's face
when I do this, because South Funk Camp was gonna
follow you. And you had all these background dancers, letters,
you had a costume, you had a crown, you gave
(13:40):
sunglasses there my son Stiles the gold sunglasses. And I'm
watching it, I'm dying laughing because you were just I'm
a showman, total showman. The place went banana sport. Okay,
Sal is sitting there gone yeah, uh huh, and it
was just like, oh, you just buried him, so salad
(14:02):
is nothing. So that was like the bar is set right.
And then this this show, it was a banger lineup
best show we've ever done. I've heard it repeatedly, just
beyond the best show we've ever had. I think what
you did is you brought hung out and now the
bar is set of like great, now we have to
get a guest star of the show that nobody knows
what doing next year. Yeah, but that's like that's gonna
(14:24):
be what people expected. Well, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It's funny because when I came when I came into
the building, people are like, oh, how are you going
out to last year?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And I was like, don't even worry about it and
they were like what No. I was like, I got it.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Don't worry about it because the best part is our
friend normally joins us there, Mark your guardian and Jiggy,
and he's the only bars I could tell nobody five
people in the building knew.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
No one knew why.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I didn't even tell about why Shay the band I
told that the last minute door rehearsals is like, guys,
I'm filming this for somebody's gonna come out and sing.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'm like, it's not me, it's William Hung. And I went,
what it was great, and that's it. That's all we told.
And they ain't found out.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Three hours before the show, I called Jiggy and I said, Jiggy,
I know you have a lot going on in your
life right now, but if you could make it to Pittsburgh,
you're gonna want to because I just bumked William Hung.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
I was getting screenshots and communications and I'm like, I'm like,
oh my god. I was like looking to see if
I could walk to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
From my driver, our driver, Nick of Integrity Transportation Services, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
If you're in.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Pittsburgh he he goes, so this is how deep, this
is how detailed. Joe didn't tell anybody, And so Wyatt
put our guests down as Michael Knight. That was Michael Knight,
and so he the driver's thinking, am I picking up
Michael Knight? Like? Am I picking up David picking up?
And and the wife goes, who are you picking up?
(15:42):
He's like, I don't know, it's Michael Knight. It's got
to be you know, a cover name or whatever. So
he pulls. He said, he's pulling up.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
To pick him up at the airport. Right.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
This is also four am after he came to stand
from Detroit from via via l a X.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
He see he pustly calm. He goes, there's just one
man standing there. He goes, he's getting closer and closer.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
He goes, no fucking.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
He goes his head William. And then my favorite line,
my favorite line. We're talking afterwards and I was like,
I cannot believe you got William hung. And he's like,
look you listen them all the time. I'm thinking I'm
gonna get William hung, and uh gotta tell you, Steve,
it's pretty gettable.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I couldn't believe that we were able to get him. So,
my god, happy birthday, my friend. I hope you enjoyed
the hungout. That's great.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
It was.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It was one. Honestly, I've done a lot of big
surprises and I do.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I love doing, but you know me, I love to
be big, do big things things that take especially things
that take planning and stuff like that to get that moment.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
That is the top three.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
That's up there with when I proposed to my wife,
of what your face when you fell to the floor
and that was everything for me, all the work, everything
that was so good.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
And you're such a good guy and a good friend.
Like to give that to you was so great.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So I love you man.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Honestly, that was so fun.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
My wife and I were talking about it because there's
all the stress of putting that show on every year. Okay,
it's a lot of moving parts, as you guys know.
This year it was I think it was like nine
or ten comics. It was a ton of comics because
there were comics that said they couldn't do it. Then
like a month out they said they could do it.
So there, I'm not going to say no. Then that
technical meltdown that happened that through a wrench to it,
(17:35):
but we were able to overcome everything. We lost a
few comics due to it. But that part game Friday,
they came from behind. It was an amazing It was
the first sellout at P and C Park really since
twenty twelve. They went to the Wildcard, so they had
not sold the ballpark out, and they came back against
the best team in baseball, the Phillies, so it's an
(17:55):
interstate rivalry. It just everything lined up perfectly in the
ninth inning walk off to to win the game. It
was unbelievable. Then the fireworks afterwards, and my wife and
I are just like, I think this is gonna be
a great weekend, you know. And then we did the
show that night and everything went off with a without
a hit. We raised a ton of money for the
Maria Lumou Foundation. Every comic had a great time. You're
(18:17):
at the craps table, billings Leeve's playing black Jack, Gardell's
hanging out, Roy's hanging It's just a great, great evening.
And there was a moment where Jess and I, my wife,
just sat back and we were looking at it all
like this is great, Like it all worked out, and
she said happy birthday, and I like I could get emotional, like,
you know, I'm not a big birthday guy, but on
(18:38):
my fiftieth to like do it and sit back. And
I'm sitting at the bar looking at everybody, people you
love that have come in and out of your lives
at different times. They're all there together to put on
a show and you share the stage with them. It
was just the greatest. It literally was the best birthday
I've ever had. It was the best comedy jam I've
ever been a part of. And after that William Hung thing,
(19:01):
maybe every fifteen to twenty minutes, I just start laughing
at myself. I just start laughing to myself, like fuck.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
He just kept saying to me how I was like,
wait to the podcast I'll tell you about and it was.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So fucking great. And I'm telling you like it was
one of those things where Jess and I got home
and I was talking about its still, like I kept
bringing him up, like I cannot be way munk and
she and she's like, she's like, that's a friend, you
know to make that happen. And it's so true. You're
you're somebody over the over the last few years since
I've been hanging out with you. Obviously we're on camera,
(19:34):
but this is something I would say to you on
the phone, you know, midnight or whatever, but when we
talk sometimes. But I truly love you. I appreciate our
friendship so much more than you'll ever know, and I
absolutely consider you one of my best pals.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And Hung sealed it. I'm Hung sealed it, but I'm
telling you.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
After he was there and then he stayed for the encore,
didn't know any of the words didn't know anything, didn't
know we said, we said them the last didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It was so much.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
It goes the line is all I want for Christmas
is you baby?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Right? So I was like, he's got to know you.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
So I just go all want for Christmas and I
put is and I put the mic in his face
and he goes, you man, But he's got You know
what I will say about his performing style, he's because
he's his two step is on point, he does his
his bop is phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
He is on beating Willi Willie Hung the app will
I'm saying. So I'm trying to think.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I'm trying to think what would you say before William Hung?
Like when you were I'm trying to like what was
your now it's a life pre and post hung right
like before? What is the best before pre Hung?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
What was the best gift that I've got?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I'm trying to think like when I was little, or
a gift that got me, like when I was little,
when I got my Nintendo. Of course it gets every
kid's born, right, anybody our age, whenever you got Nintendo
as the gift that was definitely up there. Pipeworks for
me when I got pipeworks. Like I'm trying to think, like,
what is something that floored me? Like you got floored
with that? Yeah, because that's a that that that moment, man,
(21:15):
And for me, it was so great.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
That's why even like when I post on socials, like
some people get a nice meal, some people get a watch,
write my Sinatra watch. But but I was like, I
got William hung He.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Won't let me wrap them. He wouldn't let me wrap them.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
My god.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
He was great and he was such an he was
in a great mood. He was in such a good
he was having a great time.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
And it's a good thing to be a part of
you here. It's a fun charity event, right, like he
was having fun.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Everybody was there. I think he like he didn't couldn't
hear any of the show.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
He had a lot to play. I really wish you
could have seen it more. But but also when he
came out, everybody was on stage. It was a bit
of a clusterfuck, right, But he he told why, he said, Hey,
I love to work together again.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
This was fun.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
So I think we can probably get out next year.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
We'll do it next year.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I would love to see a stand up set.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I got to see him. Do I believe I can fly?
So we got to have the hung yeah him come out, yeah, hungover, hungover.
That's the second one for show for show number over.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Two, hungover too.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
But now the bar is set. Because I felt bad
because your birthday, I put like I was gonna say
that I got you a jacket where I put all
these patches and I ordered for and I was like,
his birthdays in a month, I'll just give it to
him now. So it's just like, hey, here's your gift.
And so I give you a jacket with patches on it,
and you gave me a human being that is in
(22:36):
my ears at least once a day. At least I
hear him every day. And so Joe, the battle begins.
The battle begins. Now the bar is set, and now
it's my turn. I'm on the clock.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
There you go. That's to June fifth, Jiggy.

Phantom Menace.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Well seeing seeing a movie for sure, and.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
When the lights went down and said a long time
in the galaxy for I remember seeing the Phantom Medicine,
seeing that moment and the place going nuts, fucking nuts,
and I was like, this is awesome.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I remember the end. I was with the boys on
the road. We went to see the Happening M night
Shyamalan's The Happening and the this is We were at
that point, we were somebody. We had shows. We were
on the road doing a show.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I saw the one where they they it's a multiverse
called What's the Happening and it took place.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Sorry, So we watched it happening and we were on tour,
so we had to be something. Yes, M night Ship Alon,
this is terrible, right, this is the worst one. And
I'm a huge Night fan. This was unbelievably bad.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
So I sat there and I was so.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Hyped to see it. I made the guys go after school.
We bought you know, the tickets, would made guys go.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Right after the show. We went answer a show. We
go watching the movie. It's over and the lights come.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Up and everybody's just sitting there, and I stand, I
lost my shit forgetting like we were trying to be
all sounds, got like four hats on, trying to be
low key so nobody recognizes us. At the end, I say,
I go, it was the fucking grass and I just
go on like this piece of shit movie. And I
just went on and I'm going we were like sitting
up front and I'm going all on the.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Thing, and everybody's like laughing whatever.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
And then we turn around and everybody's just sat there
and watched me go off on the movie.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
I visitly did a stand up set, ripping the movie
and shit making my friends laugh.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Nobody left the theater because we got the last seats
up front because we bought the tickets late.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
And we turn around and people go, ah, whoa, my
godad and then everybody's recognizing to us.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Oh dude, it was so many people what we were
doing a bit, But I just lost my shit on
the movie. I remember that being like, oh my god,
that was a really funny experience. We still talked about
that for a while, but we on the road, we
wanted to see the Newest Spider Man that came out,
but we didn't want people to We were in like
Peoria or somewhere, and we didn't want people to like
to get We want to be able to watch the movie,
especially that one, right, So we bought the theater. We
(38:12):
bought all the tickets, but you were only capped out
to buy ten tickets per account, so we bought. It
was a forty person theater. It was a small theater,
so we all bought our tickets whatever, and we didn't
buy one ticket. So there was one seat in the
front middle that was sold.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
And we want every day one.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
This is day one, and everybody else bought it, right yea.
So we come and we sit and we go like somebody,
I don't know, I forget who, but somebody just didn't
get that ticket.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
And we'd come in and.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
A guy, the four of us are dead center, third
row from the back, great season, and guy black guy
sits out like this, so now he's like watching.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
I'm like, we buy. So now I feel bad, right,
you know? And well now I feel bad right. So
now it's a former So I go, I go, guys,
we got I guess I gotta tell him whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I was like, I got all right, So I go
up and excuse me, sure, and he said there and
I said, the lights it down, I said, I said,
I said sorry.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
But did he recognize that you can lights it down?
Speaker 3 (39:19):
He doesn't again, so I waited the lights were down,
so I said, hey, I said, you know the movies, don't.
We bought the whole theater. You can sit wherever you want.
I was like, you know, we just all the nobody
else is coming. And he can't wrap his head around
because he's like what, And I'm like, you can sit
wherever you want.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
He goes, no, I bought the seat. I'm like, dude,
you can just shit wherever you want. To worry about it.
So I go and sit. He gets up and he
goes and sits in.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Front of sound one.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
We weren't sitting already. We were sitting like every other
or whatever. So he gets up, south gets him comes,
it's next to me, so god all. And then he
ended up being the loudest.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
He didn't like, he didn't say anything the whole movie whatever,
and then he and then something happened with Spider Man
getting like knocked out a window and he was like
he's like and he yelled out something like he's like,
don't let don't go for that ship Spidery or something
like that, or you know, like he was like the
other thing and that was that.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
It was over. The lights come up. He turned on
and goes, thanks man, he goes, what the fuck? So funny? Yeah,
that was a really funny moment.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
It's tough to top that one.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
But by the way, the fact that that of the
four of us, the one person that would irritate the most.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
He sat got up, sat next to me. He just went,
of course, that's great. Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
This question comes from Natalie. What advice do you have
for navigating a challenging mother in law? Soundly from the
rest of the question, I think the mother in law
either lives close or is challenging, challenging in her life,
very very involved.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
I think in those instances, you think of the love
you have for your wife or husband, my transfer, yeah,
and you just think I'm doing this for you. Yeah,
I'm gonna be his patient in the pocket. I'm going
to power through, whether it's a dinner, whether it's a weekend,
whatever it is. And you just compartmentalize, but you know,
it's like you're you're almost displacing your love for that
(41:17):
moment to kind of like get through it.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
That's how you've given that advice a lot, because you
famously hate your mother in law and you talked about
it all the time.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Oh sorry, Oh no, no, that is not true. So
you just talk you talk about all the time, what
a bitch, and you can't handle it.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
She is.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
You just wish that they would move away.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
I listened to the show you know that?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Oh do that good? Finally she knows.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
No, I honestly truly love I say this is one
of the things that I'm upset about when we get
questions that we can't relate to.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
I hate that because my mother in law is she
doesn't she said five words the whole time I know her.
She's super sweet. Yeah, lives with she cooks for the family,
she lives with us. They're great, you know.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
So I don't have anything to say about that, but
I will say I've seen people, especially my mother, deal
with my grandmother.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
My father's mother was terrible to my mother.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
They had like the stereotypical get you get the fuck
out of my house.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
You might have burned them, but he picked me those
kind of like drop you know, all that kind of stuff. Right,
So I did see that, and I can't that's got
to be a hard existence to add.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
I mean that's to the extreme. They were at the
like the real end of it. But I will say
I think you do have some sage advice in the
fact that you just have to. It's part of the package.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
It's probably the.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Deal, you know what I mean, You had to. It's
the fries to your happy meal, you know what I mean.
You're gonna you're gonna get the fries. You might not
need them, are you gonna get them? It all comes
in the box.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Yeah, there's a treat in there somewhere.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Yeah, maybe maybe try one fry and then throw the
rest out when the not looking.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
But yeah, I think that's hard. But you're right, you
have to just put it. You have to one of
those things you have to suck up and deal with. Yeah,
and eventually they're gonna be dead.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Good. I mean, that's the that's what I was looking at.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Well, you also look at it this way. Be kind,
be courteous, maybe win them over because you'll be in
the will.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
That's right. Get that you got all on the back end,
get some. They might having some.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
They might be having they might be having some. You
know at and T Stock they have been telling the
whole family about it was sitting on some blue chap action.
You're a worried about Crypto, but they got Disney.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
So yeah, that's a good. Yeah, it's all gonna be
self serving.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Is really what we're saying. Oh yeah, but it's also
not permanent. It's not like, it's not like that individuals
living with you, and if if, if that individual is
living with you. As as folks get older, it's like again,
it's one of those things where it's like, all right,
this is a commitment maybe two three years. What you know,
you just got to power through that moment, as tough
as it is, because your love for your husband or
(43:47):
wife should supersede whatever.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
And also they should go to them. You should go
to your significant other to help you with this. There
should be yes, it should be your brunt to bear together.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
Yes, yeah, I think we got time for one more so.
This one is from Edgar. This is a fun one.
Would you rather fight a tiger sized chicken or a
chicken sized tiger? No weapons? Adult animals?
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Okay, like a baby tiger.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
So a tiger, a tiger sized chicken, baby chicken sized tiger.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Chicken sace tiger is a baby tiger. This is not
a good question. You came out, you said, this is
anybody that picks a tiger sized chicken.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
Instead of instead of a baby tiger, I'm gonna kill
a baby tiger.

I'd love to eat that.

chicken sized. Look, that's a tiger. That's a tiger right
there that I'll.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
Make it does have adult mentality. This isn't like a
baby tiger. This is an adult with hunting instincts.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
But it's still the damage it's going to do is well, they.
Speaker 4 (45:30):
Have fat chickens.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
What they called fact thangs.
