Mitch McConnell in Hospital After Fall
"Mitch McConnell, the minority leader was hospitalized last night after tripping in a hotel in D.C., his spokesman said, this evening he tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner, David popp, his spokesman said in a brief statement, he's been admitted to the hospital where he's receiving treatment. He is 81 years old and if you will recall, he has recovering polio survivor. He had polio as a young child and it has affected his gait a little bit on and off and he does have some balance issues from time to time. This is not, this is not unusual for people that have had polio in their life. So prayers for Mitch McConnell, he is not expected to miss much action, at least as of as of this morning. It looks like it's fairly minor, but prayers go out to Mitch McConnell. As we do to John fetterman two, nobody wishes ill upon John federman or dianne Feinstein for that matter.

Sen. John Fetterman checks into hospital for depression
"A Pennsylvania senator has been hospitalized. The office of Democrat Jan fetterman says the senator is checked himself in to Walter Reed national military medical center to seek treatment for clinical depression. Federman is still recovering from a stroke he suffered last May. His chief of staff says the senator was evaluated Monday by the attending physician of Congress who recommended inpatient care at Walter Reed. The 53 year old fetterman is in his first weeks as a senator. In November, he won the seat previously held by Republican pat toomey, who retired. Mike Hempen Washington

The Dems Are Not Sending Their Best
"It's our country coming to a screeching halt. I'm not saying in perpetuity, but what's really going on in America I just thought we were better than this politically. Not the rest of the world, meaning you see how people came out and pray for their young man. That was absolutely lovely, brilliant, beautiful, of something to see. I'm talking about like our politicians, I just saw federman get sworn in, and the dude, the dude, it's weird to me. These people are supposed to be representatives of the people. You would think that they would be, I don't know. The sum total of the people. You know what I'm saying? The median of the people. I mean, this guy is a big goofy awkward, the most awkward person I've ever seen. Katie Hobbs, she's even worse. She's like a grown baby. Katie house is one of the most immature women that I've ever seen in my life. She was getting inaugurate she's giggling and stopping. This is the best we got? Federman, he got the death man stare. He looked like the dude in sling blade. If y'all don't know to do this sling blade was, he's the one that called the police and said, I hit him with a lime bar blade. And he was on that saying, mmm um. I need a sinner or hers. That's exactly what federman looked like. He looked just like that dude from sling blade.

Razorfirst and Sebastian Discuss the Mechanics of Collecting Ballots
"I have drawn the following conclusions. Tell me if I'm off base or what's missing, raise the 5th. My take is the following. Where we have normal elections, let's say, two weeks of voting, we should do politics. We should campaign on a message, build a platform, get that candidate in front of as many people as possible and have rallies. Everywhere else, like Pennsylvania with 50 days, Virginia with 45 days. I mean, a Republican government, 45 days of voting, it's not about elections anymore, razor fist. It's about the mechanics of collecting ballots, not votes collecting ballots, and we just have to build that machine. And policies, platforms really don't matter because if Pennsylvania can vote for federman, then this isn't about politics. What do you think? Well, and some states come right out with it. They even venerate. I mean, California law venerates the practice, just explicates it is actually legal to ballot harvest. Right. Which makes it makes it a really tough sell in all the states where the Democratic Party is pretend that ballot harvesting does not exist and is a conspiracy theory. California doesn't seem to think so. They actually passed a law passing it. The thing that's hilarious about what you mentioned was Katie Hobbs, of course, the candidate that Carrie Lake was running against. It's bigger than that. People outside of Arizona only know Carrie Lake is the charismatic person that they've caught maybe an advertisement or a speech from. But here in Arizona, she had been a journalist and very, very visible here for over two decades. She was in the biggest markets from north to south for 25 years. She was a phase, right? Absolutely. And what's worse, her opponent was in charge of the election,

Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing Return to Discuss the 2022 Midterms
"This little clip from our body. One of the few good people left at Fox, Jesse waters. So what's going on here? Elections used to be decided on election night. American Idol can handle millions of votes in a commercial break, but it takes Arizona, Nevada a week. None of it makes sense because they don't want the system to make sense. The longer some of these races drag out for, the better it is for Democrats. Because they've created a system centered around ballots, not votes. It's not about winning your vote anymore. It's not about persuading you. It's about flooding the state with as many ballots as possible and getting them filled out Democrat. So here's my thesis. And the title of the article was the 2022 anti election. Because it wasn't an election. We didn't go to the polls and then choose the candidate we thought was best. Basically, one side mobilized ballot collection for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks, and if you look at Pennsylvania, 50 days of voting, half of the votes were cast before federman debates, Doctor Oz, so that's an election. It's simply the mechanics of collecting lots of pieces of paper, having them filled out. So my contention is an I don't know if it's bad of me to say this, whether it's undemocratic of me or against Republican values, our job is to out organize the Democrats. If we can't, if they have gone for 50 days of voting and mail out ballots, well, we just have to be better at that game. No, but let me point something out to you. What political party was the governor of Arizona for the last four years? Well, I know, because when Joe and I worked after the 2020 election. When I meet Dillon on the show on Wednesday after the election and she's in Arizona and the RNC warham and she's trying to explain to me how the GOP ran out of printer cartridges on election day and I assure you something the DNC wouldn't run out of cartridges to print ballots for their voters on election day, right, Joe. No question about it. We were out organized outspent out harvested out ballot collecting. I mean, the GOP has to completely redo its model because of mail out batting balloting. Which agreed to. Probably can't fix, right? We can't fix the law. We can't return to one day voting. Once it's the law, it's the law. And the
AJ Benza: Fame is a Bitch
Why AJ Has a Hard Time Believing the Midterm Election Results
"Anyhow, this person, Jim, aggressively, the president of this just facts organization. He authored the study, basically it means that if you in the United States, you live here, you're born, and you spend your life here, your odds of your life ending by murder are one in 179 over your life. Not over a year or any other time frame. It's just, here's his quote, it's just somebody's gonna murder you before you die of natural causes, an accident, suicide, whatever it may be. Jesus Christ. This is another reason why I have a hard time believing the midterm elections. Call me and deny her all you want. I don't care. Because in addition to this startling report, I just can't believe how many people watch their neighbor lose their business of 30 years. Their grandmother died alone in a nursing home. Their cousin die of fentanyl overdose. Their friend's son got thrown on the subway tracks and killed and their aunt took a second job to pay for gas. And then they saw all that happening and they said, you know, I'll take some more of this. Yeah, I'll go vote blue again. Yeah, I think federman's great for the job. Yeah, Katie Hobbs was great. Didn't hear debate didn't really see her at all, didn't campaign, but she's great, right? I can't take this. We're all too smart to believe this. But if you doubt it, you're immediately called a denier. Anybody who thinks everything's on the up and up is out of their mind. It's not on the up and up. Anyhow,

Kash Patel: President Trump Rallied Hard for GOP Candidates
"Tweet I wrote. Three hours ago, very popular, got a lot of love. So it's election month, not election day, mail in ballots, social media censorship, indoctrinated young voters, a feckless Mitch McConnell, and an a wall RNC, but you want to blame president Trump. What do you think, cash? I think that's spot on. I think you need to put that in blast it on truth social so I can. I did, I did on Texas to you. I know you're a PC guy. I'll text the title. I'm going to retreat from my lion's den lair out west here. So let's use Pennsylvania as a way to react to that list. What on earth federman? I mean, just watching him get sworn in as senator is going to be a world embarrassment, not an embarrassment to Pennsylvania and the Democrats. It will be a world embarrassment to America. So in the break, you said something fascinating about the strategic communications of this campaign and kitchen table politics. Would you unpack that for our 3 million listeners now cash? Yeah. Oh, absolutely. So look, I agree with you. President Trump went out there and rallied. Hard for all the America first candidates on the border on the drug trade on Chinese fentanyl on healthcare on the economy on Russia, China and Iran. And those translate well generally across the nation. But what the candidates themselves have to do under that is connect those issues to their constituency. And have to translate it for them and say, look, your lives are going to be and have been impacted for the worse by these larger scale issues. But every night, when you sit down at the kitchen table with your family for dinner, how are I, the candidate going to improve your life on a daily basis. And the candidates fail to carry that message that president Trump set up globally to the micro level to the county level to the town level. And Pennsylvania is the perfect example. I

"Say, it's unbelievable to me again. You know, I couldn't believe mulroy, we went here to Memphis, prime example, 20, 25% of registered Republicans got off their buds and went and voted in the important election. Let me get in get the win. So I thought, okay, maybe we'll learn a list. So now let me not necessarily tend to say did okay. But look, I mean, and maybe there was something going on in Pennsylvania. But you know, if my dog ran against John fetterman, I would have to vote for my dog. I mean, there's no way, how could anybody with half a tenth of an IQ vote for federman. Number one, and Robin even though the stroke, his policy are exactly what killing this country right now, and he's even farther left than those policies. And Pennsylvania, fracking capital, and he's against it. They need lives to everybody in their faces like y'all are idiots. What did they just say, oh, okay. I guess we found the truth. He changed his mind. I mean, I don't even understand it. I just don't know, and I mean, there's obviously no time to panic, so to speak, but whatever we need to figure something out, I'm talking about blaming everybody. Trump, I'm a Trump. I'm a Trump fan.

Doug's Hot Takes From Election Night
"Just did not appear. Some did. I mean, I think if you look at let's go over what did seem to pan out as we thought it would. Except for Pennsylvania, which we always thought was a, again, was a possibility that was a difficult rice queen federman and Oz, that does appear federman has won that race. So out of the 5 that we had to hold, we lost one. We all Pennsylvania, which means as you know from the podcast and we've always talked about that you have to now pick up two for Republicans to take control. Right now, I'm looking for the one because right now we've not seen that. Now, Arizona is still very much coming in. These numbers are tightening up out there. Arizona, just like in the last lesson in 2020 will be one in which we're going to have to wait several days for. But masters is running significantly behind Kelly in that race and Lake is running better than masters. So again, they're both down, Carrie Lake and Blake masters are both down to the Democrats Hobbes and Kelly, but the numbers have been coming in overnight a lot more Republican than they were in the early votes, which were decidedly Democrat.

Democrats' Last-Minute Midterm Election Operations
"I'm noticing some kind of last minute operations being deployed in various different places. And as I think about them, they're very telling about these races themselves and about the overall fate of the midterm election. So here we see that John fetterman's campaign is suing the state of Pennsylvania to have mail ballots with no date. Or the incorrect date be counted. So we're talking here about improperly filled out ballots. And I guess what fetterman is thinking is, listen, I'm in trouble. The latest polls show things very close to being tied, but usually Oz a little bit ahead. I'm gonna need. I may not even have mules this election. I may need these kind of questionable ballots that don't comply. By the way, with the rules. And the state's law says this is what a ballot needs in order for it to be considered a valid ballot, and the election guidance even spells out that ballots don't fit this criteria won't be counted. But fetterman thinks, because he knows that the courts and Pennsylvania are left wing, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania is left wing. He's hoping that he can kind of find a way. Now there was a recent court decision that said, listen, you can't count these ballots, but I think federman is thinking I'll try to sneak my way around it and of course I've got cooperative officials why because the Secretary of State and the election establishment in Pennsylvania is in fetterman's camp.

Doug Weighs in on the Pennsylvania Senate Race
"Have said on the podcast, I've said other interviews that I've done that I wish John federman the best and getting better. I do not wish John fetterman to be in the United States Senate getting trying to get better. We need people who are not conservative. Number one, but also able to do the job from day one. And that's Doctor Oz would be able to do the job. Whereas veteran, frankly, the so many questions were left open the other night in the fact that it could be simply do the job. You're not going to have closed captioning everywhere you go. You're going to have to start having to be able to process that. Is that something that in years to come, he can get better with? Sure. But right now, it's not. This is an important seat. It is still very much up in the air and it's mainly an importantly because this would be a Republican hold. We do not for conservatives do not need to lose this seat because if they do, then they have to win two others to make sure that the Republicans gain control of the United States Senate. Now, we've looked at that saying Arizona and Nevada and probably Georgia are pickup seats that look like the Republicans can and will take. But you never want to leave that margin as close as it can be. You would always good to have a couple of seat margin as you go forward. So look, I'm going to talk a little bit more about debates as we go, but this federman performance the other night was awful. And if you don't believe it, just listen, all you have to do is over the past week, you can listen to what has been said by the liberal media from the view to others. And even Joe Scarborough come out and said, you know, he struggling that this was a problem.

Chris Stigall: Why John Fetterman Raised $1M Following Debate
"Schumer on the tarmac says the debate didn't really hurt the Democrats in Pennsylvania. You know, I will say it was a big fundraiser. For federman, something like a million bucks, he hauled in after that performance. And listen, here's the reason why they're running a campaign. I call it the shriners hospital for kids campaign. The sweet kids through no fault of their own who have been born with disabilities. Call now and you'll receive an adorable love to the rescue blanket. The difference is, John fetterman is a very unhealthy man who has a pacemaker who has suffered a severe stroke. Many medical professionals suggest he's likely to have another. So I think he's a bit of a ticking time bomb. He was morbidly obese, lost tremendous weight to his credit. But he's not a healthy guy, okay? So let's just get that on the table first. He's not a pitiable guy. He's not a healthy guy. I'm wearing this blame him all for the stroke, but it's just a fact. These are facts, okay? Number two, he's a lay about. I mean, the guy's done nothing professionally his entire life Todd until he became a lieutenant governor and sponge off the taxpayers of Pennsylvania. His family is independently wealthy. He spends 32 K a year to send his kids to a private school called Winchester Thurston. I'm not making that up. Is that like from Gilligan's island Thurston? No, that was Thurston Howell. I'm sorry. I apologize. No, but it's the same kind of waspy sounding name, isn't it? That's right. So yeah, this guy, he's a fraud. He's a fraud. He's accomplished nothing. He's paid for nothing. And now he's a ticking time bomb who can't communicate without a machine. You see,

Dr. Jonathan Reiner: Dr. Oz Speaking Fast to Fetterman Was 'Cruel'
"It was very obvious that how, give one example, oh, well, doctor Jonathan Reiner, a Professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University, said, hold my beer, Sonny. I'm a doctor, and I can tell you why Oz was cruel. Get ready for this explanation. I take care of people like mister federman, who have had atrial fibrillation, which is where we think his stroke came from, how it originated. And I admire his courage to go on that debate last night. He had to know that he was facing basically a fast talking TV Doctor Who at times seemed to be talking almost intentionally faster in the face of mister fetterman's difficulty speaking. Sometimes it appeared almost cruelly faster. He had to know that he would get the kind of reception that he got from that. And turn it off. Turn it off, I can't listen anymore of it. Doctor Oz was speaking fast. He was intentionally being cruel, but you can not make this crap up?

Democrats Are on the Run
"Adam laksa, the next senator from Nevada, and I really pick only had to be true, in fact, last night I was on special report with Brett. Bear and Britt Hume and Mar-a-Lago and Britt he was trying to remember all the people who are winning and Adam, your biggest problem is everyone's banking the win. I don't want people to bank the win. You got to run through the tape, man. No question. I mean, look, we're blessed, we've been up in the last 9 out of the ten poles, but it is a one to two point race. And they got a great turnout machine. And so nobody better take their foot off the guy. No question that chuck Schumer and the Democrats are pouring money in literally every single day. They're pouring more money in to try to save mast cell. Am I argument last night, Adam? The fetterman catastrophe for Democrats is that it crushed enthusiasm everywhere, and it brought down the lefties like Warnock and Mandela Barnes and federman, but also brought down Cortes masto and Bennett and Murray and all the pretend moderate. They're just, they're all exposed. Their agenda has been so disastrous as anyone think they've done a good job in Nevada. Well, the bottom line is they spent $90 million trying to prop up her record and of course ran from Joe Biden and pretended like she didn't even know who he is, but that's what we're doing right now. We're in the middle of a 14 straight day, 40 plus stop bus tour and every single county of the state enthusiasm is soaring and for your Nevada listeners, Adam laksa, dot com backslash events, join us, be part of closed in this thing out.

The Fetterman Inflection
"Inflection, the fetterman inflection, the fat Herman inflection. I would use a hashtag with that. I have been using a hashtag with that. Because it occurred to me as I prepared for special report last night, over with Bret baier and I'm always honored to work with Brett, but especially when Britt Hume and marala center there. That's like the two giants of the special report panel are Brit human moralizing. And when the Giants come out, I like to be there like to listen to them or I had a nice chat was not in the green room Brett was down in Georgia. And it just settled into me that the despair among Democrats is deep why? Why? One senator collapsing in Pennsylvania. And John fetterman's campaign has collapsed. It's over. Bounced the rubble. It's not, and you look at the numbers this morning and it crossed the map. I mean, from east to west and north to south from Wisconsin, to Georgia. Nothing is working for the Democrats. Everything is going downhill. And I'm going to talk with Don bulldog this morning. And New Hampshire, and I covered New Hampshire standby in New Hampshire. I'm talking about Adam laxalt from Nevada at the bottom of this hour. Early morning in Nevada means people are going home from the shift, working in the entertainment business, paying their $7 gallon gas because of Joe Biden. And the federman inflection is the moment when after that debate, people say not only. Boy, he, incoherent, and a progressive is trying to get out his lines. He'd been coached to say I'm for fracking, and everyone knows he's not. He'd been coached to say, I'm hard on crime, and everyone knows he's not. He's been coached to say everybody understands why he chased a black kid with a gun and put a gun in his chest and everyone doesn't understand. And he can't say what he's been coached to say, but you know what the Democrats knew or the key messages by what they focused on trying to coach John fetterman to say and he couldn't. And the inflection comes when the whole country. And by the way, they had a huge audience. It's the only thing that people talked about yesterday is how awful that was. The panic that spread among Democrats, every like the 5 stages of Greek,

John Fetterman Opens Debate With 'Hi, Good Night, Everybody'
"Good night, everybody. Is it just me? Eric, did federman as he's opening his first comments, say, good night, everybody? Maybe in his mind he did a little time warp of one hour into the future. I don't know, but that was just the beginning of we all thought that maybe we were over hyping it too much that he might actually just be okay and debunk. Oh, I got no health problems. It was better than any of us could have hoped how bad it was. It was unreal. That was the first thing he said, Alex, did I hear incorrectly did he say goodnight, everybody? He did say good night. I mean, I was at least expecting maybe a good evening, but he said good night. Guy, did he say good night? Sir, he said, good night. My assumption is possibly he is very exhausted and he will just go back to his. He was exhausted at the beginning,

The Democrats Are Pulling Out All the Stops for the Midterms
"The Democrats are pulling out all the stops for the midterm election. They are getting a little bit panicky. Because the polls are showing a movement toward the Republicans, even in areas that Democrats thought were completely safe. So for example, Washington state Tiffany smiley is running against the incumbent senator patty Murray, while Democrats didn't think they needed to defend Washington state, but suddenly they do. Smiley is running a really strong campaign and think about it. This would be a very unexpected pickup if Republicans can win a deep blue state Washington state. And so it looks like the Democrats are calling upon. Well, they have the media already largely in their pocket, the media is doing brazen lying and lobbying for Democrats. One very amusing aftermath of the fetterman debate and I've been putting out some very sharp tweets about that poor fetterman. I mean, I guess the case for federman can be summarized this way. Yes, I'm brain dead, but Biden's brain dead, too. And he's running the whole country. Why shouldn't I run Pennsylvania? Since when is being brain dead been a disqualification? But what I found laughable was that the Philadelphia inquirer says our editorial team watched the debate and we decided that fetterman won. So this is literally taking leave of their senses, moving into crazy will USA, just The Twilight Zone as Debbie puts it. And so it's time to call upon the aid of digital media and in this case it's not Zuckerberg so much. Zuckerberg, in fact, had put, as you remember, a giant amount of money, almost half a $1 billion into the 2020 election. He's not doing that in 2022. And I don't think he'll do it in 24, either. But Google appears to be doing some sneaky backroom stuff.

Sell the cars cash in the stocks. Do everything pay five million dollars. And we'll get a room on this ark and that there's be in the himalayas. They're building them in the himalayas but at the end of course all the all the heroes were saying why can't everybody get on the arc. This arc shouldn't be it should be close to the poor and it shouldn't be closed. Hit should be art prevalent. Well okay. I'll tell you the problem. I off the fucking get built if the rich guy did not give the money to build these huge super expensive. That's why the arts exist number one number two.

Fucking poor people with zero education. That's me so so marex. But all open the art to everybody. Everyone piles on the ark and then the arc sinks how about the fund could be will pay for the arche to be on the fucking arc. Let's play some games heard little batch.

Couldn't they just put it down and contemplated. Let me think well and one of the book to be breezy casual. Read first of all. And i wanted to be easily digestible and i wanted to be filled with information so it was like a triple system. Yeah and i wanted to show the the ark of it all like for example right. In the beginning i talked about mark twain. He's on the cover of the book is a canadian. I talked about before him mark twain every year except for last year because they give the mark twain prize to the comedian. Who and sometimes it's not stand-ups but most of them have been standups so like here's this guy sam clemens. Who does this incredible comedy tour too. By the way make money. That was his motivation. You know and he's connected to eddie murphy. 'cause eddie murphy is standing there with mark twain buston like how were these two guys. What's going on. There's i it's really interesting to me like. Oh we're paying tribute to the comedy. The mark twain twain is not known only for that those comedy towards known for these credible novels right. Yeah you really six. What is that. I love that you really did succeed in making people feel like it's an easy to digest quick. Read because when i heard you were going to write this book i thought. Oh this is going to be this huge encyclop- it's going to be hundreds of pages. Right feel intimidating. You're going to have to like pace yourself. what i love about it is. It's less than two hundred something like fifty pages. Yeah it's less than you underpaid.

"Eddie murphy and what he you know all of this but in the last few years that even in the nineties a little bit the wall started in like okay that's offensive and you're making someone no matter. What your intent is. You're making someone uncomfortable no matter how pure your tent is your and so there was some backlash and now more than ever because now audiences can talk back to comedians and very loud way right media. Yeah absolutely so. I do think like political correctness and all that is and and all of that is a bit of an enemy of stand up because i just like the spontaneity of even saying something offensive. I and again you know my act. I'm couldn't be more the road. I don't swear. I don't ever say the f. word on stay leg i don't i don't do any but i do like comedians. That do that. You know. I do feel like it is the enemy up but i feel like comedy is so much stronger than it. Yeah comedy is always had enemies though. Of course of course of course. So it's that's my. I feel like i feel like it is an enemy of it but comedies. It's like i don't know god zillur on and there's like a you know like an annoying or something like that. It's it's annoying and stuff like that. And and who could you know everyone is for like let's make the world a little nicer place if we can right. Isn't that the the goal of it. But i'm doing this documentary in your part of yes on that before we go but i want to quote him where he said yeah. He said that The newest form of intolerance you know so i. I don't know who knows. i think. Some communities are overreacting to it. And but i do think it's a real thing. What do you think yeah. I pretty much in that in that position. I think i don't take it that seriously. Either side of it. I don't take that seriously. I like it when somebody like. Dave chapelle says what he wants to say you know and it is invigorating right. Yeah it's very much. Especially when he has a point that i find interesting and i don't require agreement to enjoy someone i'd many people require agreement you know and i think i don't require agreement. You know some back. In the days. When i was a kid. Somebody did a mother-in-law joke. I didn't have a mother-in-law why don't require agreement for that if it was funny. Most of dangerfield's act. I didn't agree with that. You know it was harmless. Or whatever. But i can watch someone that i disagree within. Still find it funny and not be not banded offensive to the point where i think it shouldn't be said Which you know. I understand that some people do have those boundaries. In i feel like part of our job is to kind of bus through those boundaries. But that's kind of the style. I was brought up in is right is like for me. I don't care who's president. Were supposed to make fun of them. Because they're democrat. You shouldn't be softer if the republican it shouldn't matter who's president you should be. You should be doing jobs like i told people. I thought all the obama jokes were flattery jokes about him. Nobody ever did like you know the other side of that. Trump jokes were non flattery jokes. You know because we're in such a partisan environment which you know. He probably deserved them. But i'm just pointing that out as an observation. Where if you go back thirty years. You wouldn't have had that you know carter and nixon. They both got jokes. That were funny from all different points of view. You know and reagan or whoever and clinton you know probably a that kind of political humor kinda kinda stopped a little bit or whatever but you know it is what it is. I don't have. That's not a criticism of as much as an observation. You know so. That's kind of where. I like it when people break barriers even when and if you go back to carlin he did say the job of a comedian is defined that line and then go over it. Yes that's not for me. Comedian i am but i do. It's not for everybody except for everyone. Yeah and wayne is producing the jeddah cattle. A special about george carlin documentary. This is for the theater for television. Hbo hbo it's for hbo. That's on tv that's hbo. That's all exactly that can work both ways now. Hbo so you've gotta be waiting me. This isn't tv. It's all it's all the inflection. Yeah know swimming here. That was a either forgot. Some jokes never make it to the stage. Kevin kneeling used to have his answering machine. We says the number you have dialed five. Four three two seven eight june has not been changed the inflection has the new inflection is five four three seven eight like i thought. That's just a silly joke. Things like that but I am a lover standup. I love this type of thing. It's such a good book you guys this summer you need to summer reading take to the beach take to take the bathroom. They have taken on the plane. It's a good place taking on the plane. You really enjoy reading it. There's so much great stuff they. I didn't know about and especially about performers. I wish you could hear some of the old recordings. And i wish some people have made recordings like i don't is they're recording bert williams. Yeah well i mean yes. There is some i mean. I think they're silent films. They hate me. He directed some of the silent film. But if you've never seen bert williams one of his big things was he had a song called nobody right. Johnny cash covered it right at the end. That's really funny sad. It's like raise like rodney's like nothing goes right with this guy's life. There's a is a silent film. He does where he's in jail and he's playing poker by himself and it's just one of the most beautiful the humanity of it. It still holds up. It's incredible you can see that on youtube if you want to see what per williams is doing. You know there's no record. There's no recording mark twain. Now there's not one recording his voice.

Come on this show and just really connect with an audience. It's migrates thrillers as a host my greatest thrill so now it's like oh carson who was a comedian himself as like. This is my new thing. This is my new mission statement here so he you you kinda into Imply the he kind of is feeling that for himself. Yes i feel like more for more than before. Yeah i do feel. That's part of the job doing my part comic on bring calm gone if it's great. It's fun having back. You know but this is and then then they go talked. They talked to prince more. They come back again. They bumped the final guest of the show. Erma bombeck who is a famous comedy writer. She bumper to talk to freddy prints. More sammy wants to know about it. Then at a it's just a it's insane moment right within a week. He has this sitcom deal for go in the man. And he is. You know has million dollars at bookings and the whole the just. It's over over night overnight. Right session bring right and i think carson really liked it. I think really liked that. Power and manpower. Yeah and his no greater thrill he said no greater so that was so the great migration was on my man yes so great was on to l. Everybody comes to los angeles this to places. Now there's new york and los angeles right where your best comedians not. That there aren't great comedians from other places but when those comedians grew up in those places they came to new york or los angeles you know and but los angeles became the thing and it became the thing in the comedy. Store particularly became like a way of presenting comedy. Where and the improv did i in new york which you mentioned rights but you had a sh- a just a show of comedians. Now it's not the variety. Act that this. it's just comedians. All night long. This seems impossible seems would seem impossible years ago and yes i mean again. It started in new york but yes that was but even the new york improv had music acts. Yeah they did and the common story. I had a little music at the beginning but mainly it was like comic comic comic. And and also i just want to mention. There's a club in new york pips in brooklyn that also did multiple standups as well around that time in the sixties bef- well well before the comedy store So but yes the common shore. And then the improv opens out there and seventy five in los angeles and now you have to clubs and it's just it's the start of the comedy boom. I don't know when you started doing. Standup so i officially white. I officially started in the early eighties. But i have my i i. I went up at the comedy store in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine. What i went up. I was in high school. So i think and I just i lied about my age. I got whatever you know. Somehow i got in. I did a that monday night. They liked me then. I came back and i was really really sick. I remember i went up and bombed. And then i was scared to do it for a couple of years when i was in school and then right when i came back to do it a few years later when i started doing it for real right but i. The first time i went up i crashed. Just amazing. yeah but the second time but this happens to a lot of comedians. Second time you have self awareness and you you are destroyed like nobody's business like you have no right to be up there. I think you are because you don't know what you're doing. You know. I now well. It's yeah i mean. It's so tricky. Although i do feel like there's some comedians who have this yes boldly continous. It's when you just sits amazing. And where does it come from. And all that. How could you possibly. Yeah i so so anyway so yes that was a big a big part of it. I don't know how long you wanna go with this thing. We've been talking a long time. Okay it's fascinating to me. It's really love it. Yes people want to hear from. You ain't yeah okay. But i appreciate you being here to talk about it and everything do you now. We can Say that at this era. You have richard pryor. Who came into his own here. And you have george carlin who to me. Are the kind of the two comedians who i would say of the modern era have probably the most influence over what we saw for the next thirty four years. Is that fair i. It's hard for me to judge that. I would think so because they were certainly i just know when i was starting there were so like outsized as far as air like. Oh this is like i. What i'm doing isn't what richard pryor's doing this. He's on a whole different level. So yeah i would think so but the fact that you could talk about yourself. So openly and freely. Yeah yeah. I mean prior was the one who really Popularized again lenny bruce done and other comedians. The the most embarrassing humiliating parts of myself is i mean even those early albums girl breaking up with him and stuff. You know and just humiliating. Dick's not big enough. And all of that you know just and then obviously it's so confessional and raw you're like oh my god. I'm really and that. Obviously there was a movie. Did in nineteen seventy nine. six years. After freddie prince goes on code live in concert that is still the heavy standard. It's the gold standard for many comedy special and and it was released as a film as a motion picture. Just think about what we were talking about those comedians. Hey what are you doing in in nightclubs. Or those comedians in vaudeville or trying to you know being mc like frank face style and then suddenly an entire motion picture the highest level of show business can be one guy on stage doing stand.

"We're talking about the nightclub. Error was still there and especially in a place called las vegas which was now could make so much money because you can make money because the casino would make money so wasn't based on your ticket. Sales like the casino made a lot of money. You're like comics. Making a lot of money gives bringing people into the casino. It's crazy when you said how much some of how much people me back then. Yeah yeah yeah. It was in the early. it's nat would be. Yeah with not thirty five thousand a week. Sometimes i'm like what i know. Grow made that in nineteen forty something like that. Get you in. You're winning out his television. Joe yeah at the rock but roxie was a six thousand seat different five today so it was but i yes even today that would be ridiculous not not adjusted for inflation. No not at all on its own. So this the sixties gives us so many different things go but when it wanted to save alan king which we talked about earlier yes a great quote is like why should i put my act on a record for two dollars and ninety eight cents when i'm making eighteen thousand a week in vegas or making twenty two thousand ranking las vegas. What's the point. I don't understand so there was a division and the young comedians. The ones we talked about. Plus lenny bruce nichols and may and you know all of those guys start okay. This is the way. I'm going to market myself berry similar to the way internet changed kind of comedy. But i'm jumping ahead. But there's a parallel. Does that sound right to you. Yeah absolutely and we interesting is the type of performer is changing their two of the one. The ones that people are liking and now we have television is playing a role in this too. Right because the ed sullivan show it during this period of the sixties was a way where people could get famous real quick but now you had a different thing called the tonight show with johnny carson. That was different than the tonight. It started with par and firing. Yeah yeah yeah and breaking comedians. That say you know both cosby dick. Gregory got their start on unchecked. Pyro no question no question and yeah so so now. It's it's sort of echoing what's happening right now. Like a lot of comedians were breaking on late night television. Which when you were growing up. I assume that was the way to kind of break through the nice level right right. Absolutely the hiked of that was probably in the seventies and maybe the mid eighties yet with roseanne. I think by roseanne cheese. Yeah you could really become very famous. Although now i was listening to some podcast and young comedians. Like i don't even know it's worth it to create a late night. Set to go onto. Corden wins the point. It doesn't reflect my act. I know mike. Podcast reflects me much better. I can connect with my fans. This and i can put a special you know so it's like already that is like an old fashioned way of fashion. I mean once in a while there's a comic women's the last comic you were like late night. Set doesn't happen. Not like for freddie prinz or no roseanne or let's talk prince for prince represents the height of someone going on a show and making it so todd late night show not not yet sullivan. Show this yes this okay. So i'll set the stage win thing you can show no. I just love this to what are you. But the way you put this together as great Where you talk about how. The early seventies is a transition and one of the biggest parts of the transitions. Johnny carson moving to los angeles right. Because now there are many stars that live here in. There's a place called the comedy store which opens the same year. And you have all these. Comedians who are ready to burst upon the scene in johnny becomes the king maker. Now he's like it's like the mob your made man if he likes right yes absolutely and it real i mean look carson at broken other comics before he broke joan rivers joan not to this level and at the in a way what happened to bill cosby was sort of similar in that cosby from his tonight. Show got a record deal and that record deal eventually got him. I spy so it was like what it was. Once removed freddie prinz december nineteen seventy-three. I think the twelve and he's nineteen. Nineteen i mean just goes on the tonight show and johnny and he just. It's just one of those nights. I think part of it. It was just a convergence because sammy davis junior on the panel. Yeah and sammy. Davis is a notorious over enthusiastic. As you describe it yeah well. Sammy is a pure show biz creature. you know. He started when he was like four or five on the stage performing midland circuit. Chitlins of it. All of it crossed over everything the height of height. Sammy davis junior. You know he. He's louis armstrong in that way where they're just part of america during that time but there's a certain show business like sort of over enthusiastic wort and hugging. Somebody makes you joked in your falling out of your chair laughing second city. Tv used to make fun of that with the sammy maudlin. Okay so so sammy. I mean ridiculously talented guy. Right i mean so. He's there so. I think that's part of it as well. Yes and and freddie goes on and he does his jokes and it just hooks into the crowd. Yeah break meals right time when everything. Yes zeitgeist august. I feel like actually written the world was ready for the world was ready for that kind of young comic and he i also think he is one of the prototypes of comedy that happens today which is autobiographical com. Yes absolutely yes gay. I'm italian there yeah. Every comedian sort of filters their joke through right. Or that's the main the main way people do it. Yes and what's unique about me. You know. I'm white trash okay right. So he's like. I'm half hungary can right. That was the joke. Yes you know Half you know in my parents made they were picking each other's pockets at a wedding or something like that right. Things are puerto rican part. Hungry hunger gary hungarian media so anyway it's perfect. It's pretty he's charming. He looks great. He's confident it's just ridiculous and you know one of those sets where you hook in and suddenly you're like oh carson knows it and it's the best cars might have been given to the a. Okay or something like that. Carson brings them over to the couch after the show. Sammy is going nuts. Jumping up and down and.

Grew there so those name names or they discovered moms may but she wasn't mom she was just a singer. Jackie jackie mabley back. Then grotte her up and then she came to new york and sort of created as nightclubs. Which is the next step in stand up. She started working there and stuff. You guys don't know moms mabley and some of these names are saying. Please go to youtube type in moms. Maybe i'm sure she's on youtube in some of these other names we bring up. Mike be on there too. If you want to refresh her a lot of them will be. Some of course won't but man if you have not had the pleasure of seeing moms mabley type in imo. Ems may b. l. e. y. You will thank me. Yeah yeah she was. I mean she was incredible so yeah so anyway she was. Of course segue was a separate. But not equal thing going on. And i saw an interview with alan king again. I don't even know if. I'm saying alan king. If half the your audience is like. I don't even know what you're talking about. King was the to me the king of television. stand up in the sixties and seventies. You know more. Yeah i think more sixties the more fulfilling than show yeah or kind of like your parents comedian but anyway he. I saw an interviewer months. Who was just like talking about. Like i got to play the roxie. I got to play these big theaters. When i was coming up the palace and the thing and it's like i always wondered like now it never occurred to me at the time but now i'm like moms never got a chance to like kill in front of these five thousand seat theaters and the you know the capital in the paramount. All of these things that were open to him. So i think later on those comedians are like oh that's interesting because she obviously was killing. If you listen to those albums she put out in the sixties so anyway. So yes there was something called black lauderdale which was called the toba circuits and that an ad of that when vaudeville died that dies as well and that gets replaced by the chitlins circuit and that continues strong until the sixties for. Stand up when we know. Dick gregory becomes to jackie robinson. Stand up comedians and basically breaks the color line and now black. Comedians can perform or headline nightclubs nightclub. So.

"It out and but in vaudeville comedy develops very much the same way that especially stand up comedy which is not even called. Stand up stand up does. That's not a term not until nineteen forty seven so they were called manala. That's a person walking out on stage doing a model usually as ethnic but then playing a character. Yes yeah yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. And then but then slowly guys started shedding the ethnic and manala. Just this is towards the end of odd vail starting doing straight kind of jokes standing on stage and then two things apps so that happens that interesting. Who was who was the first. Who's the really big person who was in bob bill. There's three there's basically three guys again. I wasn't there. So it's like i was that wayne. Who did you see at the in your time machine there was. There was a guy named charlie case. Who was who still do black face but he did. He just sat on the stage and told these stories sat in a chair and played with the string. He was one of them was like. Oh this is a different kind of thing. And then julius tannen also ditch straight jokes no character and then most famously was again. Frank fay who also and this is where it gets interesting to me is frank. Fay the biggest theater on. Let me just back the biggest theater to be booked at like the to get on saturday night live or to get on johnny carson or to have a netflix special. The one to make you a made man in vaudeville was to play one theater in new york could the palace that was the ultimate palestinian open till nine hundred thirteen. So it's right sort of the last ten years of how. Yeah so it's so you play the palace you're like you're you're no you're out the country you can work. You can work so this guy frank. Fay hire him to not only do is act but also introduce the acts into that that that is a kind of a turning point because like it's a straightforward thing. But it's not quite that right. Yes it's a little blurry so he now instead of having nine desperate acts you have an mc who's kind of pulling the whole evening together right maybe bantering with the crowd a little bit or if an act doesn't work you sort of working at. He's the show really. He's the narrative. glue that holds the evening together. Robert harris did that comedy. Act theatre worms. Rob show was robin harass. You know people got to see him a little bit in the movies but they they never really got to see robin. I ask you about it. Because i never saw him there. I only knew of the legend. He was brilliant. Tell me what he did. Tell me what he did. He total probably did an hour and a half maybe two hours of material he would start off he and most of the beginning was just working off the audience. Yeah yeah absolutely. And maybe after half an hour he'd introduce a comic. You know you cook because you don't you're going like what am i going up. And then he do. You don't know how long it's going to do between comics because you don't know what that riff is going to be. you know. And when he felt like he'd bring up the next person but it was clearly his show. You were a guest on. His show. audience loved him. He commanded the stage robin harrison. Fantastic but he was. That's what he did was he's the but he also did material right you he did. He had material but he the the way that he launched into it as we all know because we know the technical aspects of this you know sometimes especially at the beginning of your act. You might do some improv with the audience. And you're you're getting a link to your first job training times doing that in a lot of people don't know that that's what's going on right right. You can't see so you don't have to do this cold into the i joke. It feels like you're just talking to them in this thing just as funny comes out of your mouth hat is connected to the thing you're talking about. It's very sneaky. Actually let me write this comedians or sneaky. Hold on sneaky. But i love that that. That's that's where because that kind of changes things a little. The importance of the of the person hosting those emcees are are important and so it becomes a sensation and he gets held over at the palace for like multiple weeks like some some people have it at eighteen. Somebody will have. I wrote it. It's twelve weeks in my book again. So it's like a creates a kind of show business sensation and they're like oh people just want this like a guy on stage kind of bringing them along to this whole thing and again. I don't think he did as much as robin did robin harris did. The you know comedy actor. I don't think he did that much time but it was like it used to be. I don't know how to describe this larry Like there would just be a card on the stage with the name of the act and then then they put another car and that was gonna intermission or eddie foy in the southern. So so again. Comedians were like. Oh so now your ability to connect with the crowd or to bring a crowd down you know. Get them ready like that became a little part of a skill so he started and who watches. Frank fay are three very important. Comedians young comedians. Bob hope jack. Benny milton berle. They're all young comedians. Like i want to be funny. I know this is the way to do it..

"Who knew. I wish i wish it'd be. But i wish i could do service ninety five anymore. But it's funny because even when i was doing standup you used to be able to pepper in dialects and it was okay as long as it wasn't a negative thing ray right but it was okay to just do it. There were some examples where it crept over but it but it did have a long lifespan. The the data even robin williams would do like the black guy. And the don rickles did that all of course yes. Exactly what you're and i write that right in the beginning of the book that it's like a lot of people are just like oh. I don't like these comedians. They're not as funny as was like can't stand up. Comedy is generational. It's four those people as you said right here. Frankly in that zeitgeist at that time. That's why buddy hackett was funny at that time. And maybe maybe like now. Maybe you don't maybe you know. But as a rule because the language changes the subject matters change. The you know the acceptable use of profanity changes or and using racial stereo using stereotypes to get laughs all of that slowly. Go ahead all of it slowly morph. So it's like. I think even more than music stand up comedy is varies. Akc generational and that's why it's hard to connect with old comedy. Sometimes people just like this isn't even funny. I don't even understand. Yes i was gonna say. I don't put up a quality mark on longevity arm. And i do not. I know some people do but i don't i say like i. That's how i look at sports. You know and people say well you know so and so is better than bubba. Well he could only play against team that run the schedule. He can't go in a time machine and played today. So how were you at your time where you great in your time. You know and measure that greatness. Like in boxing you know. Of course. I know i was listening to your stephen smith interview. And you were going back and forth between joe louis mohammed ali in how they had like fight there. The racism of time in different plays literally and figuratively fighting it. So was Joe louis in the time that he was champ arguably may have been the greatest you know when you look at how he beat people and what he had to overcome you know how many fights he had yes exact the bum of the month club all that stuff man his style at the time any him you know it is fascinating Going back will we think about the people that weren't allowed in the club. Well i i wanna talk about the some of the forms that commun- existing because that's also fascinating to me. Let's talk about vaudeville. I a lot of people have heard the term vaudeville. But they don't really know what that means. It's it's this and it is now. It's this ancient thing. But what was bud. Bill exactly well vaudeville starts in the late eighteen hundreds and it comes out of basically. I don't know if you've seen like kind of like old westerns. Where you see like men in a saloon and there's girls dance the during the campaign and all of that and they're drinking and there might be prostitution upstairs and all that like that's what show business was like that like. That was a big part of these kind of just alcohol. Drenched places that no gentlemen was supposed to go to and certainly the only certain kind of woman would even show up in a place like that right and those places were dirty. I mean those movies do not get dirty and nasty by those places where exactly every bidding horrible terrible so was a guy tony pastor. There's it's very short version of it. But tony pastor in new york started putting on variety shows using some of these acts that work these saloons but in very clean manner so it would appeal to a rising middle class. That could afford a ticket that the so women could come gentlemen kitgum ladies become even kids could come so that was sort of the start of it. It was super clean variety entertainment and there was no narrative arc to it it was just an act and then another act then another act and there's usually nine maybe eight to twelve ax so there could be a juggler the plate spinner. There might be a manala. Just doing an irish thing. There might be a dancer dance team or a singer. Our i mean there's just so many acts different kinds of action vaudeville. So it was the last of it that really you saw when you were a kid was kind of like the ed sullivan show where it was like. This is for this. Is that not related. In any way and so that that became huge not only became huge became corporate sized. So what happened was you had like two thousand fifty states. There was two thousand vaudeville theaters. All across the united states and so in the high end was like it was like baseball like the big leagues and the little big time. Show this and and small-time vaudeville and in big time vaudeville. They had it was all centralized. It was all cast that of eventually at of new york and you you would get a whole season. They didn't run in the summer as a rule. Is you get a whole season of work where you would just go from city to city doing that. Your act doing your act and thousands thousands and thousands of people are like. I don't want to work in a coal mine. I don't wanna work sewing dresses for a living. I wanna go out on the road and being job his this so it was like really very creative kind of form of entertainment that just took over the whole country and then of course in a weird way. These big corporation. Let me just say like the big circuit was called the orpheum circuit and the keep the orpheum circuit. Which is when you think of our k. Pictures that's what radio keith. Orpheum that is basically added air. So here's the crazy story.

"Back everybody kind of a special fourth of july kind of happy fun episode with the good buddy of mine from my old stand up days and i'm such an admired this guy. He's so funny so smart we did A couple of things together. That always fun seeing him and he has this book. that's fascinating. i love going down rabbit holes. This is a fantastic rabbit hole to go down the history of standard for mark twain. Dave chapelle wayne federman. Welcome to black on the air. Well thank you. America's two hundred forty five years old this weekend right. That's i'm not mistaken. Yeah the math rate doesn't look a day pass to forty we're doing. We're still in there still in the game holding party. We have to go to kick rome's as how far how. How long do you rome last. That was a good millennia was in it like from five hundred to hundred eighty maybe total. Yeah they were obviously there an empire so they had quite a run right. Had a good run of greece's kind of maybe five hundred busy. Yeah who knows but they at least eight hundred year run. I'm thinking two hundred to five hundred total right. This is what. I was thinking the last night just as i was thinking. We've had forty six presidents but forty five men because one guy did it twice right have been president of the united states of those forty five. I have been alive. And so have you for fifteen. Fifteen of those presidents have been alive in your lifetime. That's one third of the history of the united states of all the presidents have been alive being alive being alive interesting distinction there. Yeah yeah i mean. Three of them warned no longer serving. So i guess twelve of them have served during your lifetime and and then there was truman was alive and you were a kid. Eisenhower and believe it or not hoover hoover. Yeah he lives in sixties. Hang in there for a while with you would think with all the humiliation but now he was like that's a it's kind of a good starting put. Are you kind of a history nut. Did you study history and school way down. Now now studied acting at nyu tisch school of the arts. Very prestigious and l. That's now looking back. It's a miracle. I got into that place but i think so. You may think he actually look at it carefully. Go how could. I have not got Where did you fall in. Love with history in and Just the love of because obviously there's a love for it to write a book like this too because this is in stand up. But i would assume that you probably have a elegant. I wrote about a basketball player. Who's deceased so. Even when i was a little kid. I was very much into all like i was really into the thirties and forties when i was growing up. I don't know why just say i was very appealed to i guess. Depression appeal to me or something. Yeah i've always been fascinated with what came before i always struck by people in. It's in every generation my generation in others to have no no no interest at all what happened yesterday. None at all and it's fascinating like how can you like. How can you not know certain people. I remember being in a writers are missing the nineties and someone didn't know who jimmy durante was. I'm like how could you not know how could you not have even heard the name. Jimmy durante now. I mean it's one thing to not be familiar with what he does. But how could you not even heard the name you know. I know it's but sometimes i feel like in a way that that is a great way to go through life just like what's right now and let's let's do it like i know so i. I don't really have the disdain that you have these. I let it go very quickly onto it. That's all i let it go. It doesn't affect my data. I don't wake fucking how could they not fucking on demand five years ago. I know that. But i do funding. What made you want to write this particular book and the history of standup. Well it was. It was a convergence of a number of things as a kid. Like i said i was really into radio. Comedians and varreville calm. Like i just and that reason that started was because this is embarrassing. I started out my career not as a stand up it. As a ventriloquist i many performers have done magic show. Cousin news related cousins right all the variety arts singing. You know all those ceos. I almost think like ventriloquists him and magic or cousins in that. They're sort of tricks that kids can do press an adult so so anyway. I got this album to learn how to do control equipment and that this is i maybe fourteen or something i. I was in high school. And i got this album with edgar. Bergen and charlie mccarthy headed do ventriloquist controller quiz. Which of course and then later i find out he was ventriloquists on the radio was like yes. The greatest job in show business right absolutely. It's like a juggler. On the radio still arguably is still the biggest vincente sever no question no question and so anyway so through on that record there were some old radio shows on radio routines that he did it. Because you can do these routines for church groups or you know so i was listening like wow. These are funny. And that's what. Got me into jack. Benny and fred allen and all of those guys so so that's so anyways so that's the early part of it and then we'll parents into that type of thing that they play in old comedy records in the house. So yeah yeah. They did but they weren't really encouraging their children to go to show biz at all right in any way and then and then then i become stand up and i shed ventriloquists them. Walk away from the cult.

"Alone edition. It's thursday june twenty four twenty twenty one that my guests are returning champ. Samm levine and wayne. Federman and andy would hello gentle. Hey doug hi buddy. Even people never know when when when i mentioned you all three at the same time lets me individually and alphabetically. So you don't coming. Let's start with wayne. Federman is here last. Name abed yes. Of course what's going on wayne. Well i'm back going into the movie theaters. I've already seen to motion pictures. Both i believe they were digital. I don't know whether they were wine at the regal theater downtown and the other at. What's the chinese six was the other one. One of them had me did the forehead temperature test. The other one is just like come on in. We don't care you look clean so it's also changing every day like how. How does the forehead test. The forehead tests was not that long. I think it was last monday. Not yeah but that's how quickly things are moving. That place might not be doing that anymore. I know that the temperature checks are really dropping off. 'cause everyone's realizing that that was always like taking your shoes off the tsa. It's only for show really okay. Okay i do have enjoyed i. Apparently i run cold. I think the women. I've lived with can attest to that. But i'd never been to ninety eight i always. I'm always in the low ninety seven so they can't turn your way for that though right now up. Are you're emotionally distant. You can't go said this movie pixar movie. Doing we need to be crying. Three quarters of the way through ten minutes in now with the mindset immediately. You're thinking of the up one where they go to that montage young but also soul the starts deaths and what how right just one the little. Yeah that's somebody dies at the beginning of that whaler wait. Someone dies the beginning of luca. Meyer miss remembering watch rossi fishes in that but if that's what it's about luca brasi story here the to hear the two movies i saw. If you're in if you're not i we can just move on now. i had. I had follow up questions for andy. But i'll go go did wanna know which two movies you saw. So tell us the first one was something called a quiet place deuce and the other one to drop a and and then i went into the movie theater and then is called the sparks brothers which is a documentary ohio. That's where you you had to go to the chinese six to check that out. Abc got them exactly opposite. Okay that was at the regal downtown. That's pretty probably pretty nice single auditorium situation. Ten twenty screening wayne federman was the only person in the theater annual. I wish i'd known. I would have come to that you and it was so i felt like a kennedy. It felt like like your date rape somebody and then paid off local official. It was incredible. It felt so good. You did before. You're one of the only people. I've ever watched a movie with where we were. The only people in the remember security was there security out now the security had to watch it too but Okay so and did you. Enjoy the sparks. Well this is again you know. I'd like to be the guy that knows everything about everything. Not to the level of samm levine but to a certain level and i. I don't even know that band is. I was i. I recognize them from the movie. Roller coaster like i remember in that movie. And yeah i i am i just would they that. How obscure a ban. Is that really everyone. Everyone jump in. You know they're not that obscure they had you know. They had a fairly popular song called cool places that was recorded with jane. Wiedlin cogos arraigned. Rego's were big and you know they just always been at the part of new wave sort of scene and they. Have you know a shift on albums and it's just really influence a lot of musicians but so you didn't think that the documentary was fond. You were just too confused about because you just don't know the ban now i mean i. I didn't know any of their songs. I didn't know that goes live. You need to know the song he every song you hear. You didn't know some point. Thank you thank you. Thank you get into philosophy here Yeah i did. I get your point. I was just. I was at first. I thought is this a mockumentary. Is this really. Yeah because it's got humor in it. It's humorous documentary because they are off scot auburn's in it so it was like where what's happening here okay. So but i realized i was so inspired by their decade after decade creativity. It was really really fun to watch a movie. And then that was it just by myself and bought some popcorn spilled it all on the floor and port some root beer on it. just it was sounding. It was sounding like you're making a case against like you enjoy the movie. Did i know it was more about me. Feeling ignorant i guess in a way just felt like a little bit of a slap in the face like you. You don't go to the movies to feel stupid. Yeah exactly the aberdeen.
