Donnie may have peed his pants from laughing so hard during this week's episode. He and Tid are joined by their pal - award winning filmmaker and comedian Joey Medina. Joey was on the road, getting ready for a show in San Diego, and unfortunately, his wifi was pretty awful. As a result, we got a little out of him, but his signal kept dropping out at the weirdest moments, and it entertained us to no end.
There was a time we probably would have edited all of that and got it down to a fairly clean interview - but we decided to pull the curtain back and share all the nonsense with you.
Honestly, it's a lot of fun.

(01:00):
that we actually get around to doingthis damn thing, I am joined by
that big chili pepper right there.He is my brother from another mother.
That is notorious t Ad d ChrisTidwell. How the hell are you,
my man? How many mothers couldyou possibly have? Let's not go down
that piece of the family tree,like there are questions right Like I've been
(01:22):
called a mother my entire life.Yeah, and you always have, like
you have the aunt who's a mother, you know what I mean? Or
like an older sister who's a motherlike? But I mean, right,
if you got brothers from other mothers, aren't they just your cousins? I
mean potentially, yeah, I mean. And then you bring up a good
(01:44):
point because I refer to you asmy brother from another mother. I refer
to Danny Oh as my brother fromyet another mother. Our guest this week
is my brother from a Mexican mother. So there are Puerto Rican mother so
we have we have many mothers.And this is just the way it works.
It takes a village to raise anidiot like me. Dads, be
(02:06):
busy, yo, how's your weekbeen? Uh, you know, it's
been crazy. It's been busy.I mean it's it's summertime, so there's

know if you know this or not, Donnie, I'm just gonna get it
out right now. Brand new seasonof the Boys has started, so you

forward. I don't know if you'reinto that show or not, but it
is quite stupendous. You should watchit with your with your kid. By
the way, Sorry, what showis that again? The Boys? Oh?
I listen, no word of alie. Last weekend, I might
(02:50):
I might be the shit father ofthe Year for this. But my kid
comes to me and he says,hey, can we watch The Boys?
And I said absolutely not, andhe's like, he goes, well,
why not? And I said becauseit's R rated and it's filthy and it's
violent and they're cussing every other word, and he goes, oh, okay.
(03:13):
So then we are searching for somethingelse to watch and he turns to
me and goes, I kind ofalready watched season one at my mom's house.
And I'm like, what I said, Does your mother know this?
He's like, no, I wasin my room. These child locks on
these tablets. It's got to happen. Somebody forgot to put the child proofing
(03:38):
on the Amazon account, is whathappened. So I said, all right,

going to revisit The Boys. Myson and I will revisit The Boys when
he's seventeen. Yeah, yeah,yeah. That was literally his joke,

we can hear you? Okay,right, so hey, what's up?
(13:09):
Do you know what? In myhead I was thinking to myself,
Oh, this is gonna be alot of editing, And just now I
thought, nah, I'm not editingany of this ship. Okay, it's
great. Let it ride. Whogives a fuck? Hey? Then,
everybody, here's a peak behind thefucking curtain. What are you doing in
San Diego? Bro? Like,well, I'm doing it. I'm doing
(13:33):
a show tonight at like a realuh popular sushi bar, I believe it
or not once they said sushi I'min. And then there's a there's a
small part of San Diego called OceanBeach where it's very dog finally, like
the hotels have a dog run,the restaurants you can bring your dogs into.
Restaurants have an off leash beach.So I'm like, you know what,
(13:56):
let me make a little family trip, bring my girl al and uh
and my dog and you know,hang out. But then I looked,
I didn't know how far the gigwas from here. They give gig is
halfway back home, so I'm like, fuck, and we drove all the
way here. This is not goodplanning, Medina, definitely bad to any
(14:18):
on my side. And you haveto go anyway. Oh you've been brother,
It's I mean, you and Ihave talked off air, but for
for this, for the sakes ofthe audience, because they don't get to
hear our conversations off air. Howthe hell you've been over the last few
months that we haven't had you onthe show. I think, good Man,
a lot of you know, alot of like everything else in life,
(14:39):
a lot of upslots of downs.The game show is looks like they
was technically hiatus but I think thegame show is done. Yeah, you
know what I mean? And thenand then what else? Uh? And
then that's it. Been working onsome cruise ships and that's uh never fun.
(15:00):
Your people think, oh, cruiseships are so much fun. Yeah,
when you're a passenger, when youwhen you have a gig, there's
not the greatest Why is that?It's just it feels like work. It
feels like you're stuck. You know. It's like imagine doing your shorter comedy
club and then you can't leave thatcomedy club for a week. You're like,
the fuck it sucks, you know, just you know it would it
(15:24):
be any different? What would beworse? Then? What would be worse?
Doing a cruise ship or doing likeone of those all inclusive resorts.
Well, I think I've had todo that because you could leave the resort
cruise ship you can't leave unless youknow it parts or whatever. And then
it's just like, you know,it's the same food all the time,
and you know after what like Itell people a bad buffet, it's like
(15:46):
a bad orgy, Like sure,it's all you can eat, but do
you really want to? I mean, I also think now as I as
I ponder this because I've seen you. I mean, I'm waiting out here.
(16:10):
I've been to some pretty good buffets, if you know what I mean,
and bad orgies. I've seen.I've seen the way it works when
you play a club. Right,you go up there and you absolutely kill
and then once you're done, youget swarmed by every single person that wants
to come talk to you and wantsto shake your hand and wants to take
(16:33):
your picture. Now you got tolive in that for a week. Like
you walk around the boat and thesepeople are Oh fuck, that's a special
kind of hell to me. Iwould not enjoy that at all. That's
not too bad because I'm always withpeople. Yeah, you're good with people.
(16:55):
For me, that's hell, right, Yeah, But it's just it's
just you know, and then it'sthe same people at the shows and you're
like, uh, like you know, they sit in the same place.
I'm like that I already talked tothem, Like what else a I'm gonna
pull out of them, you knowwhat I mean. It's like all right,
and they're waiting for They're waiting foryou when the thing finally lands back
(17:15):
in Florida, they're waiting for youto get off the ship so you can
exchange numbers and be lifelong friends orlike, so nice Joey, Okay,
Karen uh are you some people I'mstill friends with? Yeah? See,
this is the thing to Joey's notlike us. Joey likes people, He's
(17:37):
not like us. Fuck is wrongwith you? When you're doing a cruise
ship and you're on there for aweek, are you doing multiple sets for
the same people? Yeah, likefive to six different sets? Oh my
god, that's a lot of material. What the fuck? You gotta a
(18:02):
lot of it's got you gotta belike the crowd work though, right,
like just as filler, even thecrowd as. I always do crowd work.
So I'm saying, yeah, Ialways do crowd work. But but
it's but you know, I washaving material. But the thing is,
I don't have a set, Likethere's I have certain jokes that I put
(18:22):
together with other jokes, right,but I don't have a set. So
it's really hard for me to doit because I'm just talking and I'm like,
did I already say this? DidI not say this? So it's
really like the other day, Ijust started writing notes on my hand and
I kept on looking at my handand people thought it was a gimmick,
like I was just you know,using my hand as a prop. But
(18:42):
after the show, I'm like,no, look, I already have my
hand that I can't remember. Youknow, I remind myself, okay,
this joke because you haven't done it. Yeah. Last year when when Joey
was doing a bunch of shows herein the Toronto area, he did some
he did a set on a Fridaynight, and then he was going back
(19:03):
to the same club the next nightand he's calling me on the Saturday morning,
going, hey, did I dothis joke last night? Because I
have no idea. I'm trying torack my brain, like did I hear
this bit? I don't know.So yeah, it's work when you have
like two or three shows a night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for
sure. Know if I if Ijust said it or I didn't not say
(19:26):
it, like, I'm like,I don't know, I don't know.
I think that would be one ofthe funniest things in the world if you
just went to a club for threeshows in the one night and sat through
all of them, and the comedianhad to do all three did him exactly
the same all the way through likeit was some circusole show I watched Will
(19:52):
Yeah. Yeah, a lot ofcomics will have an act you they'll they'll
do this, and then they willdo this, and then from beginning to
end. It's almost like a script. And I mean, that's okay if
that's what you know, that's whatthey're want to do. It's not my
style, Like I'm more organic onstage. I'm just kind of like it
almost seems like I'm making up thewhole thing while I'm on stage, because
it's the idea is that comes tome. It's different times, you know
(20:15):
what I mean. So so itfeels real because I'm like, oh,
how about this, Oh how aboutthat? You know? Yeah, and
you're you're reacting to shit that yousee and and and you're reacting to to
the way people in the crowd aretaking you. So yeah, it's it's
a it's a different vibe. Iget it, man, So talk to
(20:37):
me about because I'm curious to know. Well, okay, I'm lying this
this is the show biz part ofme being an asshole. I already know
the answer to this question because youand I talk, But for the audience,
tell us what's going on with yourfilm Teeth. Hold on, you're
breaking up. You broke up.I didn't even know we were dating.
(21:04):
Do you hear me now, Joey, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay.
I was saying, let the audienceknow what it now. The last
time you were on the show,we were talking about your film Teeth,
So let people know where you're atwith it. Well, I'm kind of
(21:26):
close to the same place right now. What I'm doing with Teeth is I'm
gonna put some videos together, likekind of like go fund me videos to
promote. We need to raise moneyfor it. I need to raise around
ten grand for the film and thenonce well guess what he also needs to
(21:48):
raise about it twenty two dollars andfifty two cents to pay for the Wi
Fi Listen. I don't care ifit's dog friendly. You know what it
ain't. It ain't Wi Fi friendly. I'll tell you that much. That's
the best. We need to somemoney. Oh oh my god, I'm
beating myself. Well that's just becauseyou're old and I'm back oheah, let's
(22:11):
join this. So yeah, soit says something about my teeth. I
got something right here, and I'mkidding no, uh yeah, it's it's
we're we're you know, we're doingsome go fund You're gonna start some go
fund stuff because the film is goingto be a little pricey to shoot because
of special effects and make up anddigital effects and everything. So I'm probably
(22:34):
gonna try to raise about ten grandand ten grand release, not a lot
for a film, but you know, it's more than I got right now,
so I've got to raise it,and then once I do that,
then we can continue on with it. But it's pretty much cast already.
It's a lot of the props webought, the locations done, is ready
(22:56):
right now. I just need tomake it happen and then you know,
get the makeup people and ship likethat and then go to town. I
can't wait to do it. There'sa bunch of stuff, you know,
I have on on jet, ButTeeth is something I really want to get
off to because I already cast itthe movie, already already cast the movie.
So it's I want to get Iwant to get to it fast,
faster than sooner than later. Youwant to sink your teeth into it.
(23:18):
Absolutely, it's uh, don't fuckingencourage me, Joey. The thing hasn't
even been shot yet. But howmany awards have you picked up on the
screenplay? Just eight? Just saythat's it's a humble project. Just eight
(23:40):
awards. Yeah, I was gonnasay, how many of those? How
many of those awards? Those screenplayawards? Does Lebron have none? Yeah?
You in your face, Lebron.Joey Joey picks up film award.
It's like Kid used to pick upbest TVs back and true racist. But
(24:11):
the funny thing is is yeah,no, it's the like we you know,
it's funny like I enter in somethings and some some contests that I've
won and even ones that I didn'twin. They'll give me feedback, which
is nice. And what that's calledlike, it's called coverage when someone covers
(24:33):
your script. So they tell youthe good, the bad, you know
whatever. And sometimes I agree withthem, sometimes I don't. But one
of them was dumb. It wasslam Dance. It's a big film festiful
called slam Dance. They like thescript, but they but they had like
things like difference. There's a scenewhere where a pregnant a baby falls out
(24:56):
of a pregnant woman's wound and thestomach and she eats a baby, and
they said maybe I should leave thatout, like I shouldn't write that in.
I'm like, it's not a fuckingnovel. It's part. It's a
script. If it's on the screen, it has to be in the script.
Like I'm thinking, these people donot know how to write a script,
Like what's wrong with him? Likethat's the way it works. It's
like the script. If it's notin paper, it's not on the screen.
(25:19):
So it has to be on paper. So of course I had to
write it. I mean, it'sit's you know, I mean, it's
stupid. It's like telling the Exorcis. You don't leave that whole you know,
devil thing out. It's just it'sjust so stupid. It's like and
I saw that on my gosh,they don't know what they're talking about.
I feel like some of these filmfestivals festivals are out to lunch, because
(25:41):
I remember when you and I wentto that whatever it was called, that
Nigerian Film Festival here in Toronto,and uh, I'm sitting with Joey and
they actually well they had Joey goup and perform and then they they actually
showed his short film to everyone thatwas there in the Theater Meet Loost Parents,
which if you haven't watched it,go on YouTube and watch it.
(26:03):
It's fucking hilarious. And we're sittingthere and we're watching and it's like,
and the nominees for Best Comedy Shortare Meet Lost Parents, and then five
other things I've never seen, andhe didn't win, and I'm like,
what the fuck? So then wekeep watching the award for five awards,
(26:26):
five awards nominated for five awards,and then we see the presentation for and
the nominees for Best Dramatic Short,Meet those Parents, and the winner is
Meet Little for Best Dramatic Short.What he looks at me, he goes,
(26:47):
what the fuck? It had?It was based It had to be
based on the dialogue. Maybe theyonly got the audio version of it and
they couldn't, you know, catchthe visual. It was a blind person
who only heard the screw Seriously,Yeah, I thought it was funny,
Like I did have wanted any ofthe other ones that I was more qualified
(27:10):
for that one. I'm thinking,Oh, it's nice for nomination, but
I'm never gonna win that. That'sridiculous because it wasn't a drama at all.
Joey's like but Joey says to me, goes the win. He's holding
the trophy back in his seat andhe goes. I kind of feel bad
because the other the other nominees wereactually good dramatic shorts. I'm like,
(27:33):
you're gonna give it bag. He'slike, fuck no exactly on that.
Fuck it cheepers. You're just weeperswinning the fus like the win. But
but yeah, that was that wasodd. That was very odd. I
(27:53):
mean was great. It was anodd win. But you never know,
maybe that you know, maybe somethingin their bylaws or whatever and their thing.
I fish like, who knows,But like Shiners nominated for Best Comedy.
That's that's that festival was all aboutinclusion and cultural diversity. And when
(28:17):
they finished handing out the awards,they probably said, Ship the Puerto Rican
didn't win anything, we gotta givesomething. He flew all the way up
here. The audience looked like thecasts of Look to America with Eddie Murphy.
That's legit. It was. Itwas really cool, but it was
(28:42):
it was bizarre. It was likewe were we were in Nigeria. Yeah.
Yeah, more than once. Ihad to say, is that velvet
is any with lion suits on andeverything. No, but they were.
They were a nice pay anywhere.They were so sweet. In fairness,
(29:04):
you didn't have to ask that question. You just wanted to find out.
You could have just kept that shipinside. I love that. So are
you because I know that You've alwaysgot a million things going on? Are
you while you're trying to get fundingfor Teeth? Are you already brainstorming the
(29:27):
next the next script? Yeah,the next I have. I actually have
three. They're completed, but I'mstill working on You're still working on wet
back your luh. But one ofthe next things I want to do is
(29:48):
a it's a documentary, believe itor not, on the history of a
comedy. Yeah. I missed that, the history of what I mean,
I know how to do it forme. I miss what you said,
the history of what of Hispanic comedy? Hispanic comedy? Okay, H gotcha.
(30:15):
You know Freddie Prince, George Lopez, Paul Rodriguez, like everything from
the beginning all the way till now. Yeah, that's that's pretty wild man.
That I think that would be fascinatingif you were, like, if
you're taking a serious take on it, right, you're not doing this as
a spoof. Oh yeah, no, total serious sake. Well, don't
(30:36):
let Carlos Mencia know about it,He'll steal it. Yeah, you're such
an asshole, poor guy. Yousteal four sets and you never live it
down. What I'm saying, Oh, oh my god, that's so good.
(31:00):
Uh so you got a show tonightand uh are you are you?
Are you testing out some new stuffJoey testing out some new bits tonight on
the crowd. Yeah. Yeah,I'm trying to be a more kind of
thing so I can see what worksbut doesn't work, and uh, trying
(31:21):
to because what I like to dois that I like to mix new things
with old things and see kind ofI'll read sometimes I rebuild, Like you
know, people will remodel a house. I'll remodel a joke and just change
it all and make it look completelydifferent. Right. I love that.
Yeah, it's funny because, uh, the other day I was talking to
(31:42):
uh to a buddy of mine fromthe wrestling world, and he said to
me, he goes, oh,who's uh I love listening to your podcast.
Who's coming on your podcast this week? And I said, Oh,
it's Joey Medina. He's a standup. He goes, you don't have
to keep talking. I know whoyou're talking about. I love Joey Medina.
I'm like, oh, okay anduh and I said, have you
ever seen I said, have youever seen him perform live? He goes,
(32:04):
no, I haven't seen him performlive. I've seen stuff on YouTube,
but I've never seen him perform live. And I said, well,
tell you what. I'm given theiggy to a couple of club promoters up
here, and I'm going to seeif we can get him booked asap because
it needs to happen. But Isaid, you got to see him live
because it's so great. And thenI started telling him. I started,
(32:27):
I started doing my best Medina impressionand doing one of your bits. I
did the Morton's bit and he wason the floor laughing, and I was
like, now you should hear.Now you got to hear Joey do it?
You know? So funny is I'mInstagram I had I had about seventeen
thousand you know followers whatever. Yeah, and I dont reels. I started
(32:54):
doing my state comedy in reels likeabout three weeks ago. Yeah, I
needed it a month or three weeksago. Anyway, it's incredible. I
went from seventeen thousand to thirty sixthousand, I think now, and I'm
like, just you know, it'swild people, I'm getting new fans.
Yeah, so you know what's wildthat you say that, which because I
(33:17):
never did. Yeah. So,like a month ago, maybe a little
longer. I think it was abouta month ago. I got a text
message from someone and I thought itwas one of these scam things, right,
but it's a text message said,Hi, my name is Nina.
I work for Meta with Instagram,and I'd like to contact you to talk
to you about your account. AndI'm like, fuck off, Nina,
(33:40):
like sorry, Muhammed, I'm notin the mood for this today, you
know. Like that's that's how Iwas taking it and she and she goes,
no, no, this is forreal. Would you like me to
email you from a Meta email addressso that you know this is real?
I said yes, please, Soshe did and she said, I'd like
to set up a time to talkto you about your account and how we
(34:01):
can help improve your goals on Instagram. Okay, so we met, and
I'm thinking the whole time like thisis a gimmick. She's going to try
and sell me something. She's tryingto get me to buy ads or some
shit. And all she did wassit on the phone with me for forty
minutes and talk about the importance ofalgorithm manipulation and how reels are the way
(34:24):
to go. And she's like,you can put up pictures and whatever you
want on Instagram, but it willnever help your algorithm. It will never
help your account grow. She's like, if you post reels at least three
a week, you're going to seeyour engagement, your numbers, your followers
(34:44):
go through the roof. And Isaid, and I said, Joey's got
to go. He did not carefor that conversation. Fuck your story.
He was like, that is thestupidest story I've ever heard of out Fuck
(35:07):
these guys. You're still there,brother, No, Zina, can you
hear us? I don't think hecan hear us. Can you hear us?
(35:30):
Now? No? All right,it's all good. I can't hear
anything. You guys are on screamif you can hear me, there's no
hobbler, all right, you knowwhat? So uh, let's repeat the
whole show again from the top fromthe top. Ready, Actually, let's
(35:54):
do it back to one. Everyone, let's back to one. Let's see
this, let's Joey, let's dothis. Man. Uh, you got
to show to prep four. You'vegot money to raise for teeth, raise
some money to get better Wi Fiat your hotel in San Diego, and
then we'll catch up with you anothertime when you're stable. How about that?
Yes? Good, Yeah, it'smy fault. There's a motel five.
(36:15):
It's night in the Motel six.That's okay. Do the do the
beds vibrate because that's a plus.Yeah, but only when you put quarters
in them. That's okay. Bringlots of quarters. You'll go all night,
all right, yeah, the nighttime. I'll make sure there's better
WIF. I'm so sorry, guys, it's it's fine. It's it's fucking
(36:37):
hilarious, is what it is.It's hilarious. So I'm good. Yeah.
I think you planned all this andit's just a really good clever bit.
That's what I think. This is. This is how he gets out
of talking about Rob Schneider ship talkingUh Will Smith? I say, all
(37:01):
good, all right, Adina,we'll talk to him brother. All right,
have a good show tonight. Youthere he goes everybody it's Joey Medina
love that guy. Uh. Technologyjust is not like a thing for some
(37:21):
places, right because I'm sure thathe has a very nice phone. It's
not like he's on a flip phoneor something like that, an old motorola
tank or anything. He's that perfecttechnology. It's just sometimes you end up
in these these dead zones, youknow what I mean. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I think it's hilarious normally, you know me right like in
(37:45):
there. There was a time notthat long ago, m hmm, maybe
as recently as last week, whereif something like this had happened, I
would have been freaking out. Sweatwould have been dripping down my face.
I would have been panicking and saying, tit, what are we gonna do?
Oh my? And you know what, I'm good baby. I'd have
(38:07):
been laughing my ass off. Thisisn't as good to me because you're not
in panic mode right now, You'renot losing over all of this, so
that I could just sit back andgo, fucking man, I'm eating up.
I'm actually laughing too, because Iactually know how much this bothers him.
(38:31):
He's the one that's sweating. He'sembarrassed and frustrated. Right, it's
amazing, so good, all right? Before we go, Yeah, you
want to talk about a couple ofthings going on in the world. What's
going on in the world with you, Donnie, Well, it's not with
me, but all right, justa couple of things that I saw that
(38:52):
I thought were kind of interesting.I saw a note this week on this
show and other shows that we havedone together, we have dedicated a certain
amount of time to talking about acertain television series, Dexter. Yes,
and we're both enjoyers of the originalseries. Yeah, I think, I
(39:15):
think together we agreed that the newseries Dexter new Blood was right, it
was good but not great. Right, that's fair. So now the news
comes out, well, the newscame out a while ago, but the
(39:36):
news came out this week that DexterOriginal Sin has started filming this week.
And Original Sin, for anyone whodoesn't know, is a Dexter prequel meant
to take place fifteen years before seasonone of the original Dexter series. And
who's playing Dexter all new cast?Yep, I'm out. So they've got
(40:00):
all new people playing all the principalcharacters. But you're going to see,
like Harry Morgan Deborah Morgan, LaguerdaBautista, you know, Matthews, all
those people. No, that's dumb, it's a it's a horrible idea.
(40:23):
Here's the thing. I don't knowif you've seen Who Dying. I don't
know if you've seen this show ornot called Power, Power like Power.
Okay, So the show called Power, it's kind of like like Sons of
Anarchy in the way that it's like, you know, drugs and deception and
(40:44):
no, no, no, no, no, it's actually about it's about
a a brother trying to get outof the life and go legit with clubs,
but keeps getting dragged in and draggedin, and his son's growing up
and his daughter and blah blah blah, you know what I mean, And
there's this progression everybody. It's thatsame formula of a show like a Son's
(41:06):
of Anarchy or something like that,where it's like, oh, this week,
this episode, they're working with them. Here, next episode they're fighting
with them, and it's always everybody'strying to screw everybody over and stuff.
Right, well, and fifty centis involved with all of this, right,
so they did Like Power. Thefirst one had like six seasons and
(41:29):
then they did like Power Book twoGhost, which was like the story of
his son Right. And then theydid this one called Power Book three called
Raising Canaan. Canaan was fifty centscharacter from the first installation called Power Right.
But they did this called Raising Canaanwhere it was a throwback to how
you found out about the character ofCanaan going up. And I was like,
(41:53):
nah, I skipped over season threeand went straight to the number four,
you know what I mean? BecauseI was like, I don't kiss
my ass with these prequels, youknow what I mean. If it wasn't
good enough, it wasn't good enoughto start from that point, then forget
it. Leave it out. Idon't care, you know. I mean
that all being said, when weweren't watching The Boys season one, my
(42:19):
kid convinced me finally after asking meto try it for the last two three
years, he finally got me towatch on Netflix Young Sheldon, which I
thought would be the stupidest thing onearth. And for anyone who's not aware,
Young Sheldon is a prequel focused onone of the main characters from the
(42:42):
Big Bang Theory, and I thought, I what did would leave if I
talked about Young Sheldon. I thoughtit was gonna be the stupidest thing in
the world. I don't even likethe Big Bang theory. I want to
watch a seek, a prequel aboutone of the characters, and I watched
(43:04):
it and I'm like, oh shit, this is this is kind of funny.
I'm enjoying it more than the showthat it was spun off from.
So maybe Dexter Original Sin has aprayer. Maybe Well, they're already pissed
me off because they stole our goodfriend Nick Skavechkovic's name because he's the original
(43:29):
Sin. Sorry you're talking about formerw W star Kazzarni. Yeah, exactly,
Sin body, he's the original Sin, So there you go. I
saw another story that I thought wasinteresting, which was about the Champagne Poppy
(43:53):
Toronto's own o Vo's own Drake,Drizzy Drake. Saying this was on TMZ
it said, Drake will be makinghis presence felt now roaming around in his
new Texas neighborhood that he just movedinto because he dropped over two hundred thousand,
excuse me, two hundred thousand dollarson a truck built for doomsday.
(44:19):
It's made by Apocalypse manufacturing. It'sgot a HEMI Hellcat V eight six point
two liter engine, eight hundred andseventy horses, full time, four wheel
drive. It's armored and has riveteddoors. And I thought, Oh,
he's really worried about the beef.But that I thought, what would I
(44:45):
do if I was drake? Whatwould I do if I was in that
position? And I wanted to geta vehicle that had some real muscle behind
it and tid I don't know ifI've ever discussed this with you or if
we've ever talked about it on theair, but if we have, it's
probably been a very long time.I'm gonna grab a still from a website
(45:07):
if we can share that quickly,just so you can see what I'm referring
to. This is what is knownas the Resvanni tank. If I had
a cool million and a half twomillion laying around, this would be my
daily ride. The Resvanni tank lookslike a hummer fucked jeep. I think
(45:32):
that's accurate, right for anyone who'slistening not watching. What are the tires
made of the tires are bulletproof,they never go flat, they cannot be
punctured. I don't know what they'remade of. Magic. The car is
bullet The car is bulletproof. Theundercarriage is completely sealed with solid steel,
(45:53):
no exposed anything the wouldn't be ableto in the shock area here. Yeah,
okay, right there, but I'msaying all this under you. We're
I'm pointing all this area here,totally solid, solid, closed off that
(46:14):
the entire vehicle and the windows allcompletely bulletproof. It's got super intense blinding
light headlamps, so you can literallyincapacitate someone with these headlamps. How long
has this been out? A fewyears? It's got it's got electrified door
(46:35):
handles. Okay, if anyone triesto get in, the door handles are
electrified. It has built in mountedpepper sprayers. H lane throwers. What's
that lane throwers? I think that'san add on switch lan that's come out
the bottom and cut people's legs off. It's got an electric magnetic pulse deactivator
(47:00):
so we can deactivate electronics in itsvicinity. Okay, Like it's so ridiculous
and I love it so much.Here's my here's my first question though,
how come, yeah, how comethe president doesn't have one? It's a
(47:22):
great question. How come the Popeisn't riding run? How come it's got
thermal night vision TID it's it's gota full heads up display with night vision
infrared. Oh yeah, because that'sthe vehicle you take when you're going poaching.
Yeah, look at this much?What these go for? Donnie the
(47:45):
sticker price on this? Hold on, let me check. Uh. Last
time I looked at it, itwas stupid. Let's see Resvani tank.
Oh, let's just take me rightback to the website I was on.
Okay, hold on, let's seethis. Ye, I'm sure you gotta
(48:07):
build yours. Oay, let's buildone. You gotta ask, then you
can't afford it. Oh they gotOh look at this one. I've never
seen this one before the vengeance.This looks like a police swat vehicle.
That one starts at two eighty fiveoptional military package. How come more organizations
(48:29):
like you know, the the worldleaders aren't cruising around in these things,
Not even the people with all ofthe money we're talking about, the Saudis.
How come the Saudis aren't cruising aroundin these Oh, in Abu Dhabi
you'll see a bunch of them.The Resvanti tank military edition with over twenty
security features starts at only two sixty. That ain't bad. Can you do
(48:54):
payments? Yeah, low monthly paymentsof uh. I mean that's what I'm
saying, right, I mean,holy shit, I've never seen this one.
Look at this, the Hercules sixby six Oh y, you know
more tires. Now, here's thething. If that tire never goes flat,
(49:14):
it obviously wears out over time becausethat's just the way that tires are,
right. You think you can getnew Hercules tires at Canadian Tire you
to replace that? How about thefucking air conditioning goes out? Who you
got to take this thing to toget this thing worked on? I think
there's a small Tibetan man that livesinside under the hood that just blows cold
(49:37):
air at you. It's got tobe something, because you're not just taking
this like, where's the closest dealership? I don't know. The only reason
I know that this exists is becausetwo summers ago, I was driving downtown
with my kid and we're down inLiberty Village heading towards the CNE and we're
stuck in bumper to bumper traffic,as is always the case, in Toronto,
(50:00):
and then all of a sudden,I turned my head to the left
and right beside me is this beastof a vehicle? And I go,
what the fuck is that? Iwas so like that rarely happens, right
when you see a car on theroad and go what the fuck is that?
(50:20):
Yeah, And so I looked atit as I let it go past
us, and because I just asthe bumper to bumper traffic was starting move,
I'm like, no, no,no, I want to see the
back and read the model, likewhat is this bitch? Right? And
it was It said Resvanni tank andit had Abu Dhabi registration on it,
and I there you a U A. And then I went and I googled
(50:46):
it and I said what the fuckis Resvanni? And I came across the
Resvanni tank and then I saw onea year later at the Toronto Car Show.
I was like, oh my god, this thing is insane. Like
if I want that money just layingaround? Can you go on Auto Trader
(51:06):
anyone want my Gremlin for Resvanni tank. I'm just saying I think you have
a couple of the hercules six bysix is on there. How do you
how do you spell it? Aree z v A N. I see
(51:28):
if it even shows up here inthe list, I'm sure it will not.
I love that you're looking on atrader like the white trash man's looking
for the car. It's gonna happen, just like these motherfuckers driving around on
these nineteen eighty seven fucking BMW's thinkingthey're cool. Eventually, there's gonna be
(51:51):
somebody busting around on an old assresvanni fucking beast of a tank. Yeah,
the Sultan is not sting his resvanion auto trader, not yet yet.
Right, Oh my god, I'mmissing myself. I don't know,
(52:12):
dude. I just I find itto be the funniest shit in the world.
Like I just I see that andI just think, holy shit.
Okay, here's my last story foryou, and this one I bring up
as a cautionary tale for you,my big brother, for me, and
that is the dangers of hot tubsand the dangers of hot tubs in Mexico,
(52:37):
because I know that, I knowthat you love Mexico and I think
you're probably not opposed to enjoying ahot tub. There was an incident this
week where two people. Two Americansvacationing in Mexico were at a high end
resort. They got into a hottub and one of them never came out.
(53:00):
There was there was an electrical malfunctionwith some of the gadgets in the
hot tub, and this motherfucker friedinside the hot tub from an electrical discharge.
Oh oh, but he still cameout. Let me rephrase, like
(53:22):
you make it sound like it wassome fucking X Files fucking episode or something
where it's like, no, heed, he machine? Is that what it
was? Are you fucking reading thescript a hot tub time machine? Right
now? Donnie? The fuck iswrong with you? Guy? Oh?
Five guys go into a fucking hottub and nobody comes back. Yeah,
we saw the moviehole he didn't goto. Nineteen ninety three, George,
(53:49):
George Gien and Lizette Zambrano were fromEl Paso, Texas, were in the
hot tub and George or Jorge orlike he'll pass away, Texas. What's
up? What's up? You getthere's a special place in hell for you.
(54:12):
Yeah. Yeah, it's called fuckinghead of the fucking table. Oh
sorry, wait, should it bethis way? I'm sure you can't even
my face fucking hurts. I'm justsaying, you like to go to Mexico.
(54:34):
I love Mexico. So if you'regoing to go to Mexico and you're
going to hot tub, please haveyour lovely wife stay in the room and
only you die. Oh that wouldbe a given. First of all,
you gotta be an absolute maniac tobe going into a hot tub in Mexico.
(54:58):
Like, are you thinking, bro, we're on vacation. What the
fuck? Wow? Is that crazy? Go in the ocean going a pool,
not a hot tub. Hot tubis for like winters in Canada and
muclucks and like snow lodges and shitlike that. Okay, in your defense
for that really bizarre statement, itis the second week of June in Mexico
(55:23):
right now. It's probably one hundredand four degrees right, yeah, so
what the fuck are you doing ina hot tub? That's exactly exactly what
happened was that motherfucker got drunk andstuck his dick in the fucking outlet.
All right, there's nothing wrong withhot tubs in Mexico's stop disparaging the fine
folks of Mexico because you decided toget freaky with your fucking hot tub while
(55:47):
you're on vacation. The hot tubfucker, Yeah, fucking assholes, or
hey exactly tub fucker, or heybe horse c I don't know what the
fuck you got. Oh my god, do you think his widow will ever
(56:08):
go at another hot tub again?Yeah? Yeah she will. She will
because she planned it. She waslike, nah, I'm not gonna put
out for him, and then he'sgonna be forced to get really drunk and
fuck the hot tub and get zapped. She still lives in Mexico and has
herself a new Mexican fucking boyfriend.Oh my god, ladies and gentlemen,

the way, Sorry, what showis that again? The Boys? Oh?
I listen, no word of alie. Last weekend, I might

I might be the shit father ofthe Year for this. But my kid
comes to me and he says,hey, can we watch The Boys?
And I said absolutely not, andhe's like, he goes, well,
why not? And I said becauseit's R rated and it's filthy and it's
violent and they're cussing every other word, and he goes, oh, okay.
(03:13):
So then we are searching for somethingelse to watch and he turns to
me and goes, I kind ofalready watched season one at my mom's house.
And I'm like, what I said, Does your mother know this?
He's like, no, I wasin my room. These child locks on
these tablets. It's got to happen. Somebody forgot to put the child proofing

going to revisit The Boys. Myson and I will revisit The Boys when
he's seventeen. Yeah, yeah,yeah. That was literally his joke,

a target when I was in whenI was in high school and I was
in the drum line, and wehad the option. Legit, I was
part of the percussion line. Wehad the option because the rest of the
band had those like you know,those stupid band hats that went up.

like, Okay, how does thisday and this time sound for you?
(11:39):
And then crickets like what the fuck. That's a little bit of the behind
the scenes when it comes to thefun of booking guests on the show.

we can hear you? Okay,right, so hey, what's up?
(13:09):
Do you know what? In myhead I was thinking to myself,
Oh, this is gonna be alot of editing, And just now I
thought, nah, I'm not editingany of this ship. Okay, it's
great. Let it ride. Whogives a fuck? Hey? Then,
everybody, here's a peak behind thefucking curtain. What are you doing in
San Diego? Bro? Like,well, I'm doing it. I'm doing
(13:33):
a show tonight at like a realuh popular sushi bar, I believe it
or not once they said sushi I'min. And then there's a there's a
small part of San Diego called OceanBeach where it's very dog finally, like
the hotels have a dog run,the restaurants you can bring your dogs into.
Restaurants have an off leash beach.So I'm like, you know what,
(13:56):
let me make a little family trip, bring my girl al and uh
and my dog and you know,hang out. But then I looked,
I didn't know how far the gigwas from here. They give gig is
halfway back home, so I'm like, fuck, and we drove all the
way here. This is not goodplanning, Medina, definitely bad to any
(14:18):
on my side. And you haveto go anyway. Oh you've been brother,
It's I mean, you and Ihave talked off air, but for
for this, for the sakes ofthe audience, because they don't get to
hear our conversations off air. Howthe hell you've been over the last few
months that we haven't had you onthe show. I think, good Man,
a lot of you know, alot of like everything else in life,
(14:39):
a lot of upslots of downs.The game show is looks like they
was technically hiatus but I think thegame show is done. Yeah, you
know what I mean? And thenand then what else? Uh? And
then that's it. Been working onsome cruise ships and that's uh never fun.
(15:00):
Your people think, oh, cruiseships are so much fun. Yeah,
when you're a passenger, when youwhen you have a gig, there's
not the greatest Why is that?It's just it feels like work. It
feels like you're stuck. You know. It's like imagine doing your shorter comedy
club and then you can't leave thatcomedy club for a week. You're like,
the fuck it sucks, you know, just you know it would it
(15:24):
be any different? What would beworse? Then? What would be worse?
Doing a cruise ship or doing likeone of those all inclusive resorts.
Well, I think I've had todo that because you could leave the resort
cruise ship you can't leave unless youknow it parts or whatever. And then
it's just like, you know,it's the same food all the time,
and you know after what like Itell people a bad buffet, it's like
(15:46):
a bad orgy, Like sure,it's all you can eat, but do
you really want to? I mean, I also think now as I as
I ponder this because I've seen you. I mean, I'm waiting out here.
(16:10):
I've been to some pretty good buffets, if you know what I mean,
and bad orgies. I've seen.I've seen the way it works when
you play a club. Right,you go up there and you absolutely kill
and then once you're done, youget swarmed by every single person that wants
to come talk to you and wantsto shake your hand and wants to take
(16:33):
your picture. Now you got tolive in that for a week. Like
you walk around the boat and thesepeople are Oh fuck, that's a special
kind of hell to me. Iwould not enjoy that at all. That's
not too bad because I'm always withpeople. Yeah, you're good with people.
(16:55):
For me, that's hell, right, Yeah, But it's just it's
just you know, and then it'sthe same people at the shows and you're
like, uh, like you know, they sit in the same place.
I'm like that I already talked tothem, Like what else a I'm gonna
pull out of them, you knowwhat I mean. It's like all right,
and they're waiting for They're waiting foryou when the thing finally lands back
(17:15):
in Florida, they're waiting for youto get off the ship so you can
exchange numbers and be lifelong friends orlike, so nice Joey, Okay,
Karen uh are you some people I'mstill friends with? Yeah? See,
this is the thing to Joey's notlike us. Joey likes people, He's
(17:37):
not like us. Fuck is wrongwith you? When you're doing a cruise
ship and you're on there for aweek, are you doing multiple sets for
the same people? Yeah, likefive to six different sets? Oh my
god, that's a lot of material. What the fuck? You gotta a
(18:02):
lot of it's got you gotta belike the crowd work though, right,
like just as filler, even thecrowd as. I always do crowd work.
So I'm saying, yeah, Ialways do crowd work. But but
it's but you know, I washaving material. But the thing is,
I don't have a set, Likethere's I have certain jokes that I put
(18:22):
together with other jokes, right,but I don't have a set. So
it's really hard for me to doit because I'm just talking and I'm like,
did I already say this? DidI not say this? So it's
really like the other day, Ijust started writing notes on my hand and
I kept on looking at my handand people thought it was a gimmick,
like I was just you know,using my hand as a prop. But
(18:42):
after the show, I'm like,no, look, I already have my
hand that I can't remember. Youknow, I remind myself, okay,
this joke because you haven't done it. Yeah. Last year when when Joey
was doing a bunch of shows herein the Toronto area, he did some
he did a set on a Fridaynight, and then he was going back
(19:03):
to the same club the next nightand he's calling me on the Saturday morning,
going, hey, did I dothis joke last night? Because I
have no idea. I'm trying torack my brain, like did I hear
this bit? I don't know.So yeah, it's work when you have
like two or three shows a night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for
sure. Know if I if Ijust said it or I didn't not say
(19:26):
it, like, I'm like,I don't know, I don't know.
I think that would be one ofthe funniest things in the world if you
just went to a club for threeshows in the one night and sat through
all of them, and the comedianhad to do all three did him exactly
the same all the way through likeit was some circusole show I watched Will
(19:52):
Yeah. Yeah, a lot ofcomics will have an act you they'll they'll
do this, and then they willdo this, and then from beginning to
end. It's almost like a script. And I mean, that's okay if
that's what you know, that's whatthey're want to do. It's not my
style, Like I'm more organic onstage. I'm just kind of like it
almost seems like I'm making up thewhole thing while I'm on stage, because
it's the idea is that comes tome. It's different times, you know
(20:15):
what I mean. So so itfeels real because I'm like, oh,
how about this, Oh how aboutthat? You know? Yeah, and
you're you're reacting to shit that yousee and and and you're reacting to to
the way people in the crowd aretaking you. So yeah, it's it's
a it's a different vibe. Iget it, man, So talk to
(20:37):
me about because I'm curious to know. Well, okay, I'm lying this
this is the show biz part ofme being an asshole. I already know
the answer to this question because youand I talk, But for the audience,
tell us what's going on with yourfilm Teeth. Hold on, you're
breaking up. You broke up.I didn't even know we were dating.
(21:04):
Do you hear me now, Joey, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay.
I was saying, let the audienceknow what it now. The last
time you were on the show,we were talking about your film Teeth,
So let people know where you're atwith it. Well, I'm kind of
(21:26):
close to the same place right now. What I'm doing with Teeth is I'm
gonna put some videos together, likekind of like go fund me videos to
promote. We need to raise moneyfor it. I need to raise around
ten grand for the film and thenonce well guess what he also needs to
(21:48):
raise about it twenty two dollars andfifty two cents to pay for the Wi
Fi Listen. I don't care ifit's dog friendly. You know what it
ain't. It ain't Wi Fi friendly. I'll tell you that much. That's
the best. We need to somemoney. Oh oh my god, I'm
beating myself. Well that's just becauseyou're old and I'm back oheah, let's
(22:11):
join this. So yeah, soit says something about my teeth. I
got something right here, and I'mkidding no, uh yeah, it's it's
we're we're you know, we're doingsome go fund You're gonna start some go
fund stuff because the film is goingto be a little pricey to shoot because
of special effects and make up anddigital effects and everything. So I'm probably
(22:34):
gonna try to raise about ten grandand ten grand release, not a lot
for a film, but you know, it's more than I got right now,
so I've got to raise it,and then once I do that,
then we can continue on with it. But it's pretty much cast already.
It's a lot of the props webought, the locations done, is ready
(22:56):
right now. I just need tomake it happen and then you know,
get the makeup people and ship likethat and then go to town. I
can't wait to do it. There'sa bunch of stuff, you know,
I have on on jet, ButTeeth is something I really want to get
off to because I already cast itthe movie, already already cast the movie.
So it's I want to get Iwant to get to it fast,
faster than sooner than later. Youwant to sink your teeth into it.
(23:18):
Absolutely, it's uh, don't fuckingencourage me, Joey. The thing hasn't
even been shot yet. But howmany awards have you picked up on the
screenplay? Just eight? Just saythat's it's a humble project. Just eight
(23:40):
awards. Yeah, I was gonnasay, how many of those? How
many of those awards? Those screenplayawards? Does Lebron have none? Yeah?
You in your face, Lebron.Joey Joey picks up film award.
It's like Kid used to pick upbest TVs back and true racist. But
(24:11):
the funny thing is is yeah,no, it's the like we you know,
it's funny like I enter in somethings and some some contests that I've
won and even ones that I didn'twin. They'll give me feedback, which
is nice. And what that's calledlike, it's called coverage when someone covers
(24:33):
your script. So they tell youthe good, the bad, you know
whatever. And sometimes I agree withthem, sometimes I don't. But one
of them was dumb. It wasslam Dance. It's a big film festiful
called slam Dance. They like thescript, but they but they had like
things like difference. There's a scenewhere where a pregnant a baby falls out
(24:56):
of a pregnant woman's wound and thestomach and she eats a baby, and
they said maybe I should leave thatout, like I shouldn't write that in.
I'm like, it's not a fuckingnovel. It's part. It's a
script. If it's on the screen, it has to be in the script.
Like I'm thinking, these people donot know how to write a script,
Like what's wrong with him? Likethat's the way it works. It's
like the script. If it's notin paper, it's not on the screen.
(25:19):
So it has to be on paper. So of course I had to
write it. I mean, it'sit's you know, I mean, it's
stupid. It's like telling the Exorcis. You don't leave that whole you know,
devil thing out. It's just it'sjust so stupid. It's like and
I saw that on my gosh,they don't know what they're talking about.
I feel like some of these filmfestivals festivals are out to lunch, because
(25:41):
I remember when you and I wentto that whatever it was called, that
Nigerian Film Festival here in Toronto,and uh, I'm sitting with Joey and
they actually well they had Joey goup and perform and then they they actually
showed his short film to everyone thatwas there in the Theater Meet Loost Parents,
which if you haven't watched it,go on YouTube and watch it.
(26:03):
It's fucking hilarious. And we're sittingthere and we're watching and it's like,
and the nominees for Best Comedy Shortare Meet Lost Parents, and then five
other things I've never seen, andhe didn't win, and I'm like,
what the fuck? So then wekeep watching the award for five awards,
(26:26):
five awards nominated for five awards,and then we see the presentation for and
the nominees for Best Dramatic Short,Meet those Parents, and the winner is
Meet Little for Best Dramatic Short.What he looks at me, he goes,
(26:47):
what the fuck? It had?It was based It had to be
based on the dialogue. Maybe theyonly got the audio version of it and
they couldn't, you know, catchthe visual. It was a blind person
who only heard the screw Seriously,Yeah, I thought it was funny,
Like I did have wanted any ofthe other ones that I was more qualified
(27:10):
for that one. I'm thinking,Oh, it's nice for nomination, but
I'm never gonna win that. That'sridiculous because it wasn't a drama at all.
Joey's like but Joey says to me, goes the win. He's holding
the trophy back in his seat andhe goes. I kind of feel bad
because the other the other nominees wereactually good dramatic shorts. I'm like,
(27:33):
you're gonna give it bag. He'slike, fuck no exactly on that.
Fuck it cheepers. You're just weeperswinning the fus like the win. But
but yeah, that was that wasodd. That was very odd. I
(27:53):
mean was great. It was anodd win. But you never know,
maybe that you know, maybe somethingin their bylaws or whatever and their thing.
I fish like, who knows,But like Shiners nominated for Best Comedy.
That's that's that festival was all aboutinclusion and cultural diversity. And when
(28:17):
they finished handing out the awards,they probably said, Ship the Puerto Rican
didn't win anything, we gotta givesomething. He flew all the way up
here. The audience looked like thecasts of Look to America with Eddie Murphy.
That's legit. It was. Itwas really cool, but it was
(28:42):
it was bizarre. It was likewe were we were in Nigeria. Yeah.
Yeah, more than once. Ihad to say, is that velvet
is any with lion suits on andeverything. No, but they were.
They were a nice pay anywhere.They were so sweet. In fairness,
(29:04):
you didn't have to ask that question. You just wanted to find out.
You could have just kept that shipinside. I love that. So are
you because I know that You've alwaysgot a million things going on? Are
you while you're trying to get fundingfor Teeth? Are you already brainstorming the
(29:27):
next the next script? Yeah,the next I have. I actually have
three. They're completed, but I'mstill working on You're still working on wet
back your luh. But one ofthe next things I want to do is
(29:48):
a it's a documentary, believe itor not, on the history of a
comedy. Yeah. I missed that, the history of what I mean,
I know how to do it forme. I miss what you said,
the history of what of Hispanic comedy? Hispanic comedy? Okay, H gotcha.
(30:15):
You know Freddie Prince, George Lopez, Paul Rodriguez, like everything from
the beginning all the way till now. Yeah, that's that's pretty wild man.
That I think that would be fascinatingif you were, like, if
you're taking a serious take on it, right, you're not doing this as
a spoof. Oh yeah, no, total serious sake. Well, don't
(30:36):
let Carlos Mencia know about it,He'll steal it. Yeah, you're such
an asshole, poor guy. Yousteal four sets and you never live it
down. What I'm saying, Oh, oh my god, that's so good.
(31:00):
Uh so you got a show tonightand uh are you are you?
Are you testing out some new stuffJoey testing out some new bits tonight on
the crowd. Yeah. Yeah,I'm trying to be a more kind of
thing so I can see what worksbut doesn't work, and uh, trying
(31:21):
to because what I like to dois that I like to mix new things
with old things and see kind ofI'll read sometimes I rebuild, Like you
know, people will remodel a house. I'll remodel a joke and just change
it all and make it look completelydifferent. Right. I love that.
Yeah, it's funny because, uh, the other day I was talking to
(31:42):
uh to a buddy of mine fromthe wrestling world, and he said to
me, he goes, oh,who's uh I love listening to your podcast.
Who's coming on your podcast this week? And I said, Oh,
it's Joey Medina. He's a standup. He goes, you don't have
to keep talking. I know whoyou're talking about. I love Joey Medina.
I'm like, oh, okay anduh and I said, have you
ever seen I said, have youever seen him perform live? He goes,
(32:04):
no, I haven't seen him performlive. I've seen stuff on YouTube,
but I've never seen him perform live. And I said, well,
tell you what. I'm given theiggy to a couple of club promoters up
here, and I'm going to seeif we can get him booked asap because
it needs to happen. But Isaid, you got to see him live
because it's so great. And thenI started telling him. I started,
(32:27):
I started doing my best Medina impressionand doing one of your bits. I
did the Morton's bit and he wason the floor laughing, and I was
like, now you should hear.Now you got to hear Joey do it?
You know? So funny is I'mInstagram I had I had about seventeen
thousand you know followers whatever. Yeah, and I dont reels. I started
(32:54):
doing my state comedy in reels likeabout three weeks ago. Yeah, I
needed it a month or three weeksago. Anyway, it's incredible. I
went from seventeen thousand to thirty sixthousand, I think now, and I'm
like, just you know, it'swild people, I'm getting new fans.
Yeah, so you know what's wildthat you say that, which because I
(33:17):
never did. Yeah. So,like a month ago, maybe a little
longer. I think it was abouta month ago. I got a text
message from someone and I thought itwas one of these scam things, right,
but it's a text message said,Hi, my name is Nina.
I work for Meta with Instagram,and I'd like to contact you to talk
to you about your account. AndI'm like, fuck off, Nina,
(33:40):

to set up a time to talkto you about your account and how we
(34:01):
can help improve your goals on Instagram. Okay, so we met, and
I'm thinking the whole time like thisis a gimmick. She's going to try
and sell me something. She's tryingto get me to buy ads or some
shit. And all she did wassit on the phone with me for forty
minutes and talk about the importance ofalgorithm manipulation and how reels are the way
(34:24):
to go. And she's like,you can put up pictures and whatever you
want on Instagram, but it willnever help your algorithm. It will never
help your account grow. She's like, if you post reels at least three
a week, you're going to seeyour engagement, your numbers, your followers
(34:44):
go through the roof. And Isaid, and I said, Joey's got
to go. He did not carefor that conversation. Fuck your story.

(37:21):
places, right because I'm sure thathe has a very nice phone. It's
not like he's on a flip phoneor something like that, an old motorola
tank or anything. He's that perfecttechnology. It's just sometimes you end up
in these these dead zones, youknow what I mean. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I think it's hilarious normally, you know me right like in
(37:45):
there. There was a time notthat long ago, m hmm, maybe
as recently as last week, whereif something like this had happened, I
would have been freaking out. Sweatwould have been dripping down my face.
I would have been panicking and saying, tit, what are we gonna do?
Oh my? And you know what, I'm good baby. I'd have
(38:07):
been laughing my ass off. Thisisn't as good to me because you're not
in panic mode right now, You'renot losing over all of this, so
that I could just sit back andgo, fucking man, I'm eating up.
I'm actually laughing too, because Iactually know how much this bothers him.
(38:31):
He's the one that's sweating. He'sembarrassed and frustrated. Right, it's
amazing, so good, all right? Before we go, Yeah, you
want to talk about a couple ofthings going on in the world. What's
going on in the world with you, Donnie, Well, it's not with
me, but all right, justa couple of things that I saw that
(38:52):
I thought were kind of interesting.I saw a note this week on this
show and other shows that we havedone together, we have dedicated a certain
amount of time to talking about acertain television series, Dexter. Yes,
and we're both enjoyers of the originalseries. Yeah, I think, I
(39:15):
think together we agreed that the newseries Dexter new Blood was right, it
was good but not great. Right, that's fair. So now the news
comes out, well, the newscame out a while ago, but the
(39:36):
news came out this week that DexterOriginal Sin has started filming this week.
And Original Sin, for anyone whodoesn't know, is a Dexter prequel meant
to take place fifteen years before seasonone of the original Dexter series. And
who's playing Dexter all new cast?Yep, I'm out. So they've got
(40:00):
all new people playing all the principalcharacters. But you're going to see,
like Harry Morgan Deborah Morgan, LaguerdaBautista, you know, Matthews, all
those people. No, that's dumb, it's a it's a horrible idea.
(40:23):
Here's the thing. I don't knowif you've seen Who Dying. I don't
know if you've seen this show ornot called Power, Power like Power.
Okay, So the show called Power, it's kind of like like Sons of
Anarchy in the way that it's like, you know, drugs and deception and
(40:44):
no, no, no, no, no, it's actually about it's about
a a brother trying to get outof the life and go legit with clubs,
but keeps getting dragged in and draggedin, and his son's growing up
and his daughter and blah blah blah, you know what I mean, And
there's this progression everybody. It's thatsame formula of a show like a Son's
(41:06):
of Anarchy or something like that,where it's like, oh, this week,
this episode, they're working with them. Here, next episode they're fighting
with them, and it's always everybody'strying to screw everybody over and stuff.
Right, well, and fifty centis involved with all of this, right,
so they did Like Power. Thefirst one had like six seasons and
(41:29):
then they did like Power Book twoGhost, which was like the story of
his son Right. And then theydid this one called Power Book three called
Raising Canaan. Canaan was fifty centscharacter from the first installation called Power Right.
But they did this called Raising Canaanwhere it was a throwback to how
you found out about the character ofCanaan going up. And I was like,
(41:53):
nah, I skipped over season threeand went straight to the number four,
you know what I mean? BecauseI was like, I don't kiss
my ass with these prequels, youknow what I mean. If it wasn't
good enough, it wasn't good enoughto start from that point, then forget
it. Leave it out. Idon't care, you know. I mean
that all being said, when weweren't watching The Boys season one, my
(42:19):
kid convinced me finally after asking meto try it for the last two three
years, he finally got me towatch on Netflix Young Sheldon, which I
thought would be the stupidest thing onearth. And for anyone who's not aware,
Young Sheldon is a prequel focused onone of the main characters from the
(42:42):
Big Bang Theory, and I thought, I what did would leave if I
talked about Young Sheldon. I thoughtit was gonna be the stupidest thing in
the world. I don't even likethe Big Bang theory. I want to
watch a seek, a prequel aboutone of the characters, and I watched
(43:04):
it and I'm like, oh shit, this is this is kind of funny.
I'm enjoying it more than the showthat it was spun off from.
So maybe Dexter Original Sin has aprayer. Maybe Well, they're already pissed
me off because they stole our goodfriend Nick Skavechkovic's name because he's the original
(43:29):
Sin. Sorry you're talking about formerw W star Kazzarni. Yeah, exactly,
Sin body, he's the original Sin, So there you go. I
saw another story that I thought wasinteresting, which was about the Champagne Poppy
(43:53):
Toronto's own o Vo's own Drake,Drizzy Drake. Saying this was on TMZ
it said, Drake will be makinghis presence felt now roaming around in his
new Texas neighborhood that he just movedinto because he dropped over two hundred thousand,
excuse me, two hundred thousand dollarson a truck built for doomsday.
(44:19):
It's made by Apocalypse manufacturing. It'sgot a HEMI Hellcat V eight six point
two liter engine, eight hundred andseventy horses, full time, four wheel
drive. It's armored and has riveteddoors. And I thought, Oh,
he's really worried about the beef.But that I thought, what would I
(44:45):
do if I was drake? Whatwould I do if I was in that
position? And I wanted to geta vehicle that had some real muscle behind
it and tid I don't know ifI've ever discussed this with you or if
we've ever talked about it on theair, but if we have, it's
probably been a very long time.I'm gonna grab a still from a website
(45:07):
if we can share that quickly,just so you can see what I'm referring
to. This is what is knownas the Resvanni tank. If I had
a cool million and a half twomillion laying around, this would be my
daily ride. The Resvanni tank lookslike a hummer fucked jeep. I think
(45:32):
that's accurate, right for anyone who'slistening not watching. What are the tires
made of the tires are bulletproof,they never go flat, they cannot be
punctured. I don't know what they'remade of. Magic. The car is
bullet The car is bulletproof. Theundercarriage is completely sealed with solid steel,
(45:53):
no exposed anything the wouldn't be ableto in the shock area here. Yeah,
okay, right there, but I'msaying all this under you. We're
I'm pointing all this area here,totally solid, solid, closed off that
(46:14):
the entire vehicle and the windows allcompletely bulletproof. It's got super intense blinding
light headlamps, so you can literallyincapacitate someone with these headlamps. How long
has this been out? A fewyears? It's got it's got electrified door
(46:35):
handles. Okay, if anyone triesto get in, the door handles are
electrified. It has built in mountedpepper sprayers. H lane throwers. What's
that lane throwers? I think that'san add on switch lan that's come out
the bottom and cut people's legs off. It's got an electric magnetic pulse deactivator
(47:00):
so we can deactivate electronics in itsvicinity. Okay, Like it's so ridiculous
and I love it so much.Here's my here's my first question though,
how come, yeah, how comethe president doesn't have one? It's a
(47:22):
great question. How come the Popeisn't riding run? How come it's got
thermal night vision TID it's it's gota full heads up display with night vision
infrared. Oh yeah, because that'sthe vehicle you take when you're going poaching.
Yeah, look at this much?What these go for? Donnie the
(47:45):
sticker price on this? Hold on, let me check. Uh. Last
time I looked at it, itwas stupid. Let's see Resvani tank.
Oh, let's just take me rightback to the website I was on.
Okay, hold on, let's seethis. Ye, I'm sure you gotta
(48:07):
build yours. Oay, let's buildone. You gotta ask, then you
can't afford it. Oh they gotOh look at this one. I've never
seen this one before the vengeance.This looks like a police swat vehicle.
That one starts at two eighty fiveoptional military package. How come more organizations
(48:29):
like you know, the the worldleaders aren't cruising around in these things,
Not even the people with all ofthe money we're talking about, the Saudis.
How come the Saudis aren't cruising aroundin these Oh, in Abu Dhabi
you'll see a bunch of them.The Resvanti tank military edition with over twenty
security features starts at only two sixty. That ain't bad. Can you do
(48:54):
payments? Yeah, low monthly paymentsof uh. I mean that's what I'm
saying, right, I mean,holy shit, I've never seen this one.
Look at this, the Hercules sixby six Oh y, you know
more tires. Now, here's thething. If that tire never goes flat,
(49:14):
it obviously wears out over time becausethat's just the way that tires are,
right. You think you can getnew Hercules tires at Canadian Tire you
to replace that? How about thefucking air conditioning goes out? Who you
got to take this thing to toget this thing worked on? I think
there's a small Tibetan man that livesinside under the hood that just blows cold
(49:37):
air at you. It's got tobe something, because you're not just taking
this like, where's the closest dealership? I don't know. The only reason
I know that this exists is becausetwo summers ago, I was driving downtown
with my kid and we're down inLiberty Village heading towards the CNE and we're
stuck in bumper to bumper traffic,as is always the case, in Toronto,
(50:00):
and then all of a sudden,I turned my head to the left
and right beside me is this beastof a vehicle? And I go,
what the fuck is that? Iwas so like that rarely happens, right
when you see a car on theroad and go what the fuck is that?
(50:20):
Yeah, And so I looked atit as I let it go past
us, and because I just asthe bumper to bumper traffic was starting move,
I'm like, no, no,no, I want to see the
back and read the model, likewhat is this bitch? Right? And
it was It said Resvanni tank andit had Abu Dhabi registration on it,
and I there you a U A. And then I went and I googled
(50:46):
it and I said what the fuckis Resvanni? And I came across the
Resvanni tank and then I saw onea year later at the Toronto Car Show.
I was like, oh my god, this thing is insane. Like
if I want that money just layingaround? Can you go on Auto Trader
(51:06):
anyone want my Gremlin for Resvanni tank. I'm just saying I think you have
a couple of the hercules six bysix is on there. How do you
how do you spell it? Aree z v A N. I see
(51:28):
if it even shows up here inthe list, I'm sure it will not.
I love that you're looking on atrader like the white trash man's looking
for the car. It's gonna happen, just like these motherfuckers driving around on
these nineteen eighty seven fucking BMW's thinkingthey're cool. Eventually, there's gonna be
(51:51):
somebody busting around on an old assresvanni fucking beast of a tank. Yeah,
the Sultan is not sting his resvanion auto trader, not yet yet.
Right, Oh my god, I'mmissing myself. I don't know,
(52:12):
dude. I just I find itto be the funniest shit in the world.
Like I just I see that andI just think, holy shit.
Okay, here's my last story foryou, and this one I bring up
as a cautionary tale for you,my big brother, for me, and
that is the dangers of hot tubsand the dangers of hot tubs in Mexico,
(52:37):
because I know that, I knowthat you love Mexico and I think
you're probably not opposed to enjoying ahot tub. There was an incident this
week where two people. Two Americansvacationing in Mexico were at a high end
resort. They got into a hottub and one of them never came out.
(53:00):
There was there was an electrical malfunctionwith some of the gadgets in the
hot tub, and this motherfucker friedinside the hot tub from an electrical discharge.
Oh oh, but he still cameout. Let me rephrase, like
(53:22):
you make it sound like it wassome fucking X Files fucking episode or something
where it's like, no, heed, he machine? Is that what it
was? Are you fucking reading thescript a hot tub time machine? Right
now? Donnie? The fuck iswrong with you? Guy? Oh?
Five guys go into a fucking hottub and nobody comes back. Yeah,
we saw the moviehole he didn't goto. Nineteen ninety three, George,
(53:49):
George Gien and Lizette Zambrano were fromEl Paso, Texas, were in the
hot tub and George or Jorge orlike he'll pass away, Texas. What's
up? What's up? You getthere's a special place in hell for you.

Yeah. Yeah, it's called fuckinghead of the fucking table. Oh
sorry, wait, should it bethis way? I'm sure you can't even
my face fucking hurts. I'm justsaying, you like to go to Mexico.
(54:34):
I love Mexico. So if you'regoing to go to Mexico and you're
going to hot tub, please haveyour lovely wife stay in the room and
only you die. Oh that wouldbe a given. First of all,
you gotta be an absolute maniac tobe going into a hot tub in Mexico.
(54:58):
Like, are you thinking, bro, we're on vacation. What the
fuck? Wow? Is that crazy? Go in the ocean going a pool,
not a hot tub. Hot tubis for like winters in Canada and
muclucks and like snow lodges and shitlike that. Okay, in your defense
for that really bizarre statement, itis the second week of June in Mexico
(55:23):
right now. It's probably one hundredand four degrees right, yeah, so
what the fuck are you doing ina hot tub? That's exactly exactly what
happened was that motherfucker got drunk andstuck his dick in the fucking outlet.
All right, there's nothing wrong withhot tubs in Mexico's stop disparaging the fine
folks of Mexico because you decided toget freaky with your fucking hot tub while
