Ken Marino and Santino become friends! | Whiskey Ginger

Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series presented by Fanduel. Andrew Santino sits down with actor, comedian, writer, and director Ken Marino for a hilarious conversation about decades in comedy, improvisation, Hollywood, friendship, and somehow still finding new ways to make each other laugh. From *The State* and *Wet Hot American Summer* to writing, directing, and acting across film and television, Ken has spent years building one of comedy's most beloved careers. The two dive into sketch comedy, making cult classics, life behind the camera, ridiculous auditions, and why the funniest ideas usually start as the dumbest ones. It's the kind of conversation only two comedy lifers can have equal parts absurd, insightful, and completely off the rails. Be sure to check out Ken's latest film, *Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass*, which he co-wrote with David Wain and also stars in. And don't miss **Middle Aged Dad Jam Band**, Ken's touring band with David Wain and Craig Wedren, celebrating 25 years of *Wet Hot American Summer* with comedy and classic rock.

  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger. My guest today is one of my favorite people on earth. I say that for all my guests, but I mean it once again today. It's Ken Marino.

• 0:49Speaker 05

  Hi, how are you?

• 0:49Andrew Santino?

  Ken Marino, thank you for coming, man.

• 0:50Speaker 05

  Thank you for rolling the R like.

• 0:52Andrew Santino?

  Marino, Marino. How does a guy from New York feel about the Knicks? Do you care?

• 0:58Speaker 05

  I love the Knicks.

• 0:59Andrew Santino?

  Was this a big deal for you or no?

• 1:01Speaker 05

  It was a huge deal. I, you know, I, when I was in, um, when I was living in Manhattan in the 90s, I lived on 26th and 7th and I shared a place with like the three other guys. And we all bought, uh, we bought two seats, season tickets. And we would split, you know, we would all split it when we would go. We watched a pregame show at our apartment, then walked down the street and be in our seats by tipoff.

• 1:25Andrew Santino?

  Wow.

• 1:26Speaker 05

  And it was the year that they went to the finals and lost. And it was incredible and I, you know, I, I was, so I was a Nick fan during that whole time. And, um, sort of unhealthily, unhealthily obsessed with them. And then, uh, and then followed them throughout the years. And then sort of like, you know, when, when it was really down and ugly and I was living in Los Angeles, I sort of lost touch a little bit. And then got back into it when I was, uh, uh, shooting in New York. I was shooting a show called The Other Two in New York.

• 1:56Andrew Santino?

  Love that show, man.

• 1:57Speaker 05

  Thank you.

• 1:58Andrew Santino?

  It's fantastic.

• 1:58Speaker 05

  Thank you. I loved it too.

• 1:59Andrew Santino?

  Cause I've known him for years.

• 2:01Speaker 05

  Who, uh, Chris or Drew?

• 2:03Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 2:03Speaker 05

  He's the best.

• 2:04Andrew Santino?

  He's unbelievable, man.

• 2:04Speaker 05

  So we were roommates. We were like, hey, they gave you, they give you a, um, you know, relocation fee. And so after the first year, we were like, hey, uh, should we just pool our money together and get a better place?

• 2:15Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 2:16Speaker 05

  And so we did, and we got a slightly better place, but it was nice. So we, and we had a great time.

• 2:20Andrew Santino?

  That show was so good, man. You, you, you, by the way, underrated on that show.

• 2:25Speaker 05

  Thank you.

• 2:25Andrew Santino?

  Like the show was well received, but I think it's one of those things where like, there's a few people that really know it. And some, the people that really know it are like in love with it. It's one of those shows, like, did you ever see a show called Getting On? They made it in Britain and then we remade it here with Nisi Nash.

• 2:39Speaker 05

  Oh, no, no, I haven't.

• 2:40Andrew Santino?

  See, this is one of those, it's another, it's a gem like your show where you're like, this is, if you watch it, you'll fall in love with it immediately.

• 2:46Speaker 05

  All right, I'll watch it.

• 2:46Andrew Santino?

  It's very, very good. If you like Nisi Nash.

• 2:49Speaker 05

  I love Nisi.

• 2:49Andrew Santino?

  And Laurie Metcalf.

• 2:50Speaker 05

  Well, and the, one of the best actresses on Planet Earth.

• 2:54Andrew Santino?

  She's incredible. But let's talk more about you in New York.

• 2:58Speaker 05

  Mostly about Laurie Metcalf.

• 2:59Andrew Santino?

  Laurie Metcalf, yeah. She is very good.

• 3:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 3:01Andrew Santino?

  And, uh, no, I'll say this, we've shared, whether you know this or not, we've shared moments together, uh, in a room on camera. I, we were on camera for five seconds together, I think. I did an episode of Children's Hospital.

• 3:14Speaker 05

  Oh my gosh.

• 3:16Andrew Santino?

  I don't know, we'd have to look it up. I could look it up. It was a long time ago.

• 3:19Speaker 05

  What was the scene?

• 3:20Andrew Santino?

  I was Jasper Pants. I was a dead old Irish golfer. I was like in the hospital.

• 3:24Speaker 05

  I remember that.

• 3:25Andrew Santino?

  Jasper Pants.

• 3:26Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 3:26Andrew Santino?

  It was me, Marino. Marino, and Marino and I then would go on to do an unbelievably bad television show together. One of the worst of all time. Unheard of. It was called, uh.

• 3:37Speaker 05

  I've done a lot of unheard of.

• 3:39Andrew Santino?

  Dude, I've done way more.

• 3:40Speaker 05

  I don't know about that. I've been around a long time.

• 3:42Andrew Santino?

  It was called Sin City Saints. It was Yahoo's first TV show about a basketball team in Vegas. This was my favorite, actually, speaking of critics, the first, the first critic that wrote about it goes, "The show is terrible and the concept is bad. There'll never be a, a professional sports team in Vegas." And then now there's, there's going to be all of them.

• 4:01Speaker 05

  They're bringing them all there, right?

• 4:02Andrew Santino?

  He was like, "This is already a bad idea." And that was kind of in it was we were a franchise team that moved to Vegas. But Marino and I did it, uh, and it was great, but I had met her for the first time doing Children's Hospital.

• 4:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah. Marino's the best.

• 4:13Andrew Santino?

  2013. 2013, a couple of years ago.

• 4:15Speaker 05

  But do you, are you saying, and maybe I'm reading between the lines, but are you saying the reason, the reason all the, uh, sports, uh, I mean, all the teams are going to Vegas now is because your, your show?

• 4:30Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. Yeah. And I'm glad you caught it cause I thought, this man is a smart man. He did go to NYU, but is he gonna really grab onto something?

• 4:38Speaker 05

  I grabbed onto it and then I stuttered for a while. I don't know if you were there.

• 4:42Andrew Santino?

  I don't know.

• 4:42Speaker 05

  At a certain point, you were looking at me and you're like, I hope he says something.

• 4:45Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. I just didn't want you to have a medical emergency. I've not, we're not, we don't have insurance.

• 4:49Speaker 05

  Yeah, but we're close to a hospital, aren't we?

• 4:51Andrew Santino?

  No, unfortunately, no. That one just shut down about a week and a half ago.

• 4:54Speaker 05

  Man, that was my favorite one.

• 4:55Andrew Santino?

  It was. That one was good.

• 4:57Speaker 05

  That one was really good. Cause I had all the extra medicine.

• 5:01Andrew Santino?

  It's so much more medicine.

• 5:02Speaker 05

  You walked in, they had like a, like a bowl full of medicine.

• 5:04Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, well, it was just in a free, open popcorn bowl.

• 5:06Speaker 05

  Grab some medicine. How can I help you?

• 5:08Andrew Santino?

  What was, what was the color of your popcorn bowl as a kid in your house growing up? There was a color of a popcorn bowl. What was it? We got into this discussion before.

• 5:15Speaker 05

  The color of my popcorn bowl?

• 5:17Andrew Santino?

  When family ate popcorn together, what did it look like?

• 5:19Speaker 05

  Oh, oh, well, that's presumptuous because we, we didn't, we didn't eat popcorn together.

• 5:26Andrew Santino?

  Oh, it was all in separate rooms?

• 5:27Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 5:27Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 5:28Speaker 05

  Yeah. And my dad's was blue, my, my, uh, my, uh, my wife, cause I was, I was like, I married it very young, at five.

• 5:34Andrew Santino?

  Nine, right? Yeah, five, yeah.

• 5:35Speaker 05

  My wife, my mother's, uh, was green. My sister's was purple and mine was white, like an off-white.

• 5:42Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, like, okay, so not eggshell. We were eggshell people. Yeah, yeah. Okay, it was.

• 5:46Speaker 05

  No, they're actually, the real answer is eggshell.

• 5:48Andrew Santino?

  Eggshell, that was it. We had a discussion about this because there was this iconic like 90s, 80s, 90s popcorn bowl that was wood. And it was like different grains of wood facing different ways. And this was like this, what did your popcorn bowl look like as a family? And now my father, if I go home and I put popcorn in anything but the old wood bowl.

• 6:09Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 6:10Andrew Santino?

  He's like, "That's not the popcorn bowl."

• 6:11Speaker 05

  I put it, I put popcorn in a wood bowl now.

• 6:14Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 6:14Speaker 05

  Like we have a salad, a wood salad bowl.

• 6:16Andrew Santino?

  That's where it goes.

• 6:16Speaker 05

  And that's where, and I, but I, you know, you do the, uh, do you do the real popcorn? Do you like do the microwave popcorn?

• 6:22Andrew Santino?

  No, the, on the stove.

• 6:23Speaker 05

  You do the, on the stove.

• 6:24Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah.

• 6:24Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 6:25Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. Well, we will sometimes do the popcorn in the, in the microwave, but the stove is better.

• 6:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, but you know, sometimes I just wanna drop it in the microwave.

• 6:33Andrew Santino?

  Don't do it, man. There's PFAS in there.

• 6:34Speaker 05

  But I, there's what?

• 6:36Andrew Santino?

  Pete's ass? Pete's ass is in there.

• 6:37Speaker 05

  Oh, Jesus Christ.

• 6:38Andrew Santino?

  And you remember Pete. He was never a clean guy.

• 6:40Speaker 05

  This guy never washes.

• 6:42Andrew Santino?

  PFAS, Forever Chemicals.

• 6:43Speaker 05

  Dirty Pete.

• 6:44Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, Dirty Pete. Well, that's what we called him on the street, Dirty Pete. Here comes Dirty Pete, dude. Yeah, the, the.

• 6:50Speaker 05

  His ass in another bag of popcorn.

• 6:51Andrew Santino?

  What was he doing that for? Was that for clout or something?

• 6:54Speaker 05

  He just put his ass in kernels and he was like, it was like sort of a bragging thing.

• 6:58Andrew Santino?

  Ah.

• 6:59Speaker 05

  He's like, "I got my ass in some more kernels." And then, and then of course those kernels show up in popcorn bags.

• 7:05Andrew Santino?

  Always. You know what that reminds me of? Ass pennies. That sounds like.

• 7:08Speaker 05

  It does sound like ass pennies, right?

• 7:10Andrew Santino?

  Cause then I know the change is in his hands.

• 7:12Speaker 05

  His delivery, just his, his delivery is, is one of the most, is one of my favorite deliveries of all like comedians. Like he's just like, and then, you know, it's, it's sort of, he has a similar delivery as, uh, what's his name from, um, uh, God, see, I'm gonna, nevermind.

• 7:33Andrew Santino?

  Put the drink down.

• 7:33Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 7:33Andrew Santino?

  Well, we'll give reference for people that don't know. If you've never seen the sketch Ass Pennies, please Google Ass Pennies. I don't want to give any more away because it's one of the funniest. It's just so good.

• 7:41Speaker 05

  Super Dave Osborne. Who's the guy who played Super Dave Osborne?

• 7:44Andrew Santino?

  Uh, bub, bub, bub, bub, bub, bub, Einstein, Bob Einstein.

• 7:49Speaker 05

  Bob Einstein.

• 7:49Andrew Santino?

  Bob Einstein.

• 7:50Speaker 05

  Same delivery.

• 7:50Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, same kind of dry, deep.

• 7:52Speaker 05

  He had a really good voice.

• 7:54Andrew Santino?

  I'm gonna give you a little bit of props real fast before we move on.

• 7:56Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 7:57Andrew Santino?

  Uh, big fan, big fan from far away. I've always, I've been following you literally for a long, long time. That's me with the flashlight outside of your home.

• 8:05Speaker 05

  Oh, that was you.

• 8:06Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 8:07Speaker 05

  Cause there's a lot of people outside my house with a lot of flashlights.

• 8:10Andrew Santino?

  Not as often as I am. There's no chance.

• 8:12Speaker 05

  But you know a couple of the guys.

• 8:14Andrew Santino?

  I took care of a few of those guys.

• 8:15Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 8:16Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 8:16Speaker 05

  Well, thank you very much for just lighting up my back. Cause we didn't have any outside lighting, so.

• 8:21Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, no, we needed, I know. It's a little, you, you gotta fix some of that stuff. I will fix it on my own at some point.

• 8:25Speaker 05

  What's the deal with outside lighting? It just doesn't last too long.

• 8:29Andrew Santino?

  It's not supposed to. Built to break.

• 8:30Speaker 05

  Built to break.

• 8:31Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, because they want you to have to buy a new.

• 8:33Speaker 05

  More lights.

• 8:33Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, well.

• 8:34Speaker 05

  I don't like it.

• 8:35Andrew Santino?

  That's why I don't have any lights outside of my home whatsoever.

• 8:38Speaker 05

  I have one that works and then six or seven that are just out.

• 8:42Andrew Santino?

  How, how many lights does it take of a piece of lighting?

• 8:45Speaker 05

  I love this joke.

• 8:46Andrew Santino?

  Go, two Jews are changing a piece of lighting and a Muslim guy walks in. Who changes the lights first?

• 8:54Speaker 05

  Oh, I wish I had a punchline for that.

• 8:57Andrew Santino?

  Me too. How many lights go out in a lighting piece in your home before you actually start changing the bulbs? Let's say it's a six-piece thing of lights. How many go out?

• 9:05Speaker 05

  Oh, oh, oh, and like a, yeah, like a, like a.

• 9:08Andrew Santino?

  A lighting fixture, chandelier, whether a thing above your kitchen.

• 9:11Speaker 05

  Uh, two.

• 9:13Andrew Santino?

  Two gone?

• 9:13Speaker 05

  If one's gone, I, I'm like, I gotta get to that.

• 9:16Andrew Santino?

  I wait for the last soldier standing.

• 9:17Speaker 05

  Really?

• 9:17Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. My wife is always like, "What are you doing?"

• 9:19Speaker 05

  It's dark in here.

• 9:20Andrew Santino?

  It's holding on. Let that, I wanna see what that guy can do. I just wanna see how long he can last.

• 9:26Speaker 05

  He's a champion.

• 9:26Andrew Santino?

  And then my, my father-in-law comes to the house and is like, "These are all out."

• 9:30Speaker 05

  Let me fix them all.

• 9:31Andrew Santino?

  He, he, he built their home, their childhood home with his hands.

• 9:35Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 9:35Andrew Santino?

  So you wanna talk about emasculation at its finest? It's like, it's embarrassing to a degree that's like, I leave, I go away for a while. I don't have a choice.

• 9:43Speaker 05

  I, uh, I, uh, I would always like when my, my dad would come visit because then I can, then, then we would fix everything.

• 9:50Andrew Santino?

  Together.

• 9:50Speaker 05

  Yeah, we'd go around and fix it all.

• 9:52Andrew Santino?

  See, I never had that, I, like, I, I can't do the, like, were you a kid that could rebuild shit if it broke when you were a kid?

• 9:58Speaker 05

  Not, not so much. I mean, I learned a lot from my dad, cause he was a guy who would like, he, he, there would be a Jeep on the side of the house. And then he would be like, "Yeah, I'm just gonna fix all the parts, take everything apart and put it back in." I'm like, "You're gonna what?"

• 10:10Andrew Santino?

  That's awesome.

• 10:10Speaker 05

  And so then I'd watch him like clean up. I wouldn't sit with him because I was a kid.

• 10:14Andrew Santino?

  Child.

• 10:15Speaker 05

  I had no desire to watch my father like clean a camshaft or whatever the hell, you know?

• 10:20Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 10:21Speaker 05

  And, um, but, uh, but, but it was, but I did admire it. And I was like, "Wow, that's just a very different generation."

• 10:29Andrew Santino?

  What did your pop do for a living?

• 10:30Speaker 05

  Well, I was a, he was a plumber, he was a cesspool guy. He cleaned cesspools and he was a clam digger before that.

• 10:37Andrew Santino?

  The name cesspool is so, it's like, it's so negative when you say, "Oh, the place is a cesspool."

• 10:43Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 10:43Andrew Santino?

  But it's actually a beautiful thing, a cesspool.

• 10:45Speaker 05

  Well, look, I mean, without it, it'd be shit all over the place.

• 10:48Andrew Santino?

  That's exactly right. It'd be England a couple of hundred years ago.

• 10:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 10:51Andrew Santino?

  Just shit everywhere.

• 10:52Speaker 05

  We went to Italy, um, and we went, went through this one old, old town and it was just like open, just, just like little river, you know, concrete, like, or stone river.

• 11:04Andrew Santino?

  Poop rivers.

• 11:04Speaker 05

  Poop rivers.

• 11:05Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, little poop rivers.

• 11:06Speaker 05

  Shit, and then the shit goes through town and on its way out, you get to look at everybody's shit.

• 11:12Andrew Santino?

  Oh, there's Kevin.

• 11:13Speaker 05

  Kevin took another shit today.

• 11:16Andrew Santino?

  The idea that you can identify who's, who's already awake? Who's awake? Oh, that's Mike. That's gotta be Mike.

• 11:22Speaker 05

  Mike's up.

• 11:25Andrew Santino?

  Wait, have you, uh, have you, did you spend a ton of time in Italy? Is this one of your favorite little getaway spots?

• 11:30Speaker 05

  I do like going to Italy, but I don't spend, I haven't spent a lot of time, but I've been three, three times, three, four times.

• 11:37Andrew Santino?

  I got a big crush on it.

• 11:38Speaker 05

  It's great. Oh, it's the best.

• 11:39Andrew Santino?

  We go almost every year. That's like our one.

• 11:41Speaker 05

  Where do you go to the same place or do you?

• 11:43Andrew Santino?

  No, we try to jump around, but my family is Siciliano, Sicili, so we mostly go to Sicily. We, we, we mostly stay south.

• 11:50Speaker 05

  I've not been to Sicily. My dad's Sicilian.

• 11:51Andrew Santino?

  You gotta go.

• 11:52Speaker 05

  Well, my dad, my dad is part Sicilian. His dad was Sicilian and his mom was from Rome. And then, uh, and, but I've never been to Sicily and I really want to go.

• 12:01Andrew Santino?

  I highly recommend, I, I wanted to go find where my dad's town was, you know, like his parents' town. And I asked around and I, and I had the incorrect spelling because it was communicated through, you know, telephone. I was like, I think it's Coccamo. And I was like romanticizing it. It's Coccamo. The guy's like, it's cock-sucker. It's cockamo. Cockamo. Yeah. He's like, why do you say Cocc? And I'm like, it's Cocc, right? He's like cock, like cock, cockamo. And I'm like, oh, okay.

• 12:24Speaker 05

  Okay, that's good too. Can I, tell me where that is?

• 12:27Andrew Santino?

  He's like, it's, uh, above the cesspool.

• 12:31Andrew Santino?

  So, so you admired your father's handiwork, but then I, I know this is a annoying, corny question, but I do.

• 12:38Speaker 05

  There are no, you know, listen, we're in a safe place.

• 12:40Andrew Santino?

  Well, I do want to know.

• 12:41Speaker 05

  There are no annoying, corny questions.

• 12:43Andrew Santino?

  Okay, because I, I admire you, your work. I think you're a fantastic comedic actor and actor. Why did you? What, what led you down the?

• 12:53Speaker 05

  Why didn't I choose the path of cleaning cesspools?

• 12:56Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 12:57Speaker 05

  Um, my dad never wanted that. He never kind of pushed me in that direction and I, um, early on in my childhood, I did a play, uh, and I, and I, and I, and people laughed. And I got, I've been chasing that dragon ever since.

• 13:12Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's what, I mean, because I, it's, I hate it as a comedian, someone's like, we got you in the stand-up. And I'm like, it's annoying, but also it is interesting. I come from a family of no one is in the arts.

• 13:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, nobody was in the.

• 13:22Andrew Santino?

  No one's in the arts. So it's always interesting to me when people don't come from the arts background. When someone's like, my uncle was a writer and my grandmother was a, you know, then I'm always like, right, yeah. But my family was very much.

• 13:33Speaker 05

  What did your, what did your parents do?

• 13:35Andrew Santino?

  My dad was in sales. My mom was a, a, a property management company, marketing for property management. So like in Chicago, this, I was the only guy that left. And they were like, are you really?

• 13:44Speaker 05

  So do you, so do you remember the moment that you were like, that you got like the itch, that you got the bug?

• 13:50Andrew Santino?

  I think, I think, uh.

• 13:52Speaker 05

  Or do you even think of it?

• 13:53Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, no, I do, I, my mom was a single mother for a while. And so I think then like making my mom laugh, like always trying to make my mom laugh. And it was a big thing in our fam, my grandfather was a funny jovial, uh, guy. So I think we always were trying to tease each other. And then I sang and told jokes at my mom and my stepdad's wedding and I killed. I killed.

• 14:14Speaker 05

  And you're like, I want more of that, right?

• 14:16Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 14:17Speaker 05

  That's the thing.

• 14:17Andrew Santino?

  It was a moment where I was like, this is, I'm the, and everyone's like, you're so good. I'm like, I'm so good.

• 14:22Speaker 05

  Thank you so much. I thought so too.

• 14:25Andrew Santino?

  I'm eight years, seven years old and I'm like, yeah, I'm the shit.

• 14:28Speaker 05

  Can I tell you something though? And I don't want to, this might, might fuck you up. I don't know. Cause it sort of fucked me up for a little while just recently. I thought about it and I'm like, I did this play, right? And I wasn't supposed to be in a play, like they threw me in this play. I was at a summer camp and that's what you did at the end of the year. And it was in third grade or whatever. And, uh, and I went out and, and I got nervous and I locked myself in a bathroom. My sister talked, my older sister was at the camp too, and she talked me out of the bathroom. And I come out and then I do, I do it, right? I build up enough courage to do it. Everybody's laughing. And I'm like, this is fucking great. I'm really terrific. And then just recently I thought, you know what? Everybody just might've been laughing because I locked myself in the bathroom and they're

• 15:11Speaker 05

  just trying to make me feel good. And maybe I'm not as incredible as I thought I was at age, whatever, eight or seven.

• 15:19Andrew Santino?

  That's a microcosm of the business as a whole.

• 15:21Speaker 05

  That's what I feel all the time.

• 15:22Andrew Santino?

  We think we're, but everyone's actually like, I feel bad for that guy. This is his thing. It's so silly.

• 15:28Speaker 05

  Standing up there by himself. I gotta.

• 15:29Andrew Santino?

  Silly boy. I should laugh. Yeah. I was a little, a little freckle faced pumpkin headed kid in a suit. I was wearing like a three-piece suit. That's very funny. Off the jump.

• 15:39Speaker 05

  Yeah. You don't have to, that's it. Visual, great visual.

• 15:41Andrew Santino?

  Men in suits. You're like, funny. Little tiny redheaded man.

• 15:43Speaker 05

  Like now he's going to say some jokes? How cute.

• 15:47Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. I think I thought I was, and then this sounds, uh, trite, but I, I, I don't really remember getting Johnny Carson, but I'd watch it a lot as a kid. My mom would catch me watching it because I was obsessed with the rhythm. I, I think I just enjoyed the, this comedic popping. I thought that was so funny. So as a kid, I would watch it, but I don't really, I don't remember like the, you know what I mean? I don't remember the core moments of it.

• 16:11Speaker 05

  Right.

• 16:12Andrew Santino?

  I just remember enjoying the thing and I was like, I like that. I don't know what that is.

• 16:15Speaker 05

  There was a looseness and a fun, a fun, they had a fun time back then. It was like.

• 16:18Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. It doesn't feel like that. When you do like very like standard tonight shows or those shows, do you feel like you're, you're set up against the wall a little bit or no?

• 16:27Speaker 05

  I, I, I don't, look, to be honest with you, are we, real talk?

• 16:31Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 16:32Speaker 05

  Podcasts and talk shows are not like something that I'm like, oh, I gotta, I can't wait to do that. Cause they, cause I, I don't necessarily, the reason I chose what I do is not to show, to, to, to be me.

• 16:48Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 16:48Speaker 05

  Like I like escaping into characters or just like acting and playing different parts and all that stuff. Like the idea of like me talking as myself and being entertaining and like that, that's, that creates a little anxiety for me.

• 17:05Andrew Santino?

  Nerve wracking.

• 17:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 17:06Andrew Santino?

  But then I'll fuck you up. You're playing a character now too. This isn't you, you either.

• 17:10Speaker 05

  We're all playing a character. Well, but that's what I, that's, you know, that's, I have to snap into some version of that. And that's, but, but, but, but then it's like, then I feel like I'm being, like it's bullshit. And then I also feel like just on certain podcasts, I remember like, um, can I talk about other podcasts?

• 17:29Andrew Santino?

  If they're good.

• 17:30Speaker 05

  I, this is a while ago, I went on Marc Marino, right? Like when, like, you don't want to talk about that?

• 17:35Andrew Santino?

  No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

• 17:36Speaker 05

  No, no.

• 17:37Andrew Santino?

  I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

• 17:38Speaker 05

  No, but I went on his, I went on, you know, I like, uh.

• 17:40Andrew Santino?

  You went to go listen and complain?

• 17:42Speaker 05

  This is early on.

• 17:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 17:43Speaker 05

  And, you know, I remember listening to it and then I got invited to be on and I'm like, I don't want to talk about like skeletons in my closet and dark moments in my life. I, I don't.

• 17:52Andrew Santino?

  That's what he does.

• 17:53Speaker 05

  I have no desire, like, and who wants to fucking hear that about me? Now, maybe there are people who want to hear it and there definitely are people who want to talk about it, but that's not what I, what I'm comfortable doing. I don't want to talk about like the time that I really was just in an awful place. And, and so I got real nervous and I went on and it was perfectly fine. But then when I went back and listened to it, it was perfectly fine. It was like, I wasn't giving any deeper thing for him to be like, ah, ah, ah, ah, let me, let me know more about that. Cause that's what gets, I think.

• 18:25Andrew Santino?

  Clicks.

• 18:25Speaker 05

  Him off as well. But like, he likes to talk about, right? And then, um, and then I was also like, did you, I heard he'd like Party Down, but then he didn't ask me any questions about Party Down. I was like, god damn it.

• 18:36Andrew Santino?

  I got some questions for you.

• 18:37Speaker 05

  Okay, good.

• 18:38Andrew Santino?

  By the way, did he send you home with a cat?

• 18:40Speaker 05

  Uh, three.

• 18:41Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. Oh, you got three?

• 18:42Speaker 05

  Yeah. I got a calico. I got, I got two siamese.

• 18:45Andrew Santino?

  You got two siamese?

• 18:46Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 18:47Andrew Santino?

  Is it siamese or siamese?

• 18:49Speaker 05

  Si, siamese? I don't know. What's the song?

• 18:52Andrew Santino?

  Caribbean or Caribbean?

• 18:53Speaker 05

  We are siamese.

• 18:54Andrew Santino?

  Me. It's a little offensive, but yeah.

• 18:55Speaker 05

  It is.

• 18:56Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 18:56Speaker 05

  That's why they don't show that anymore.

• 18:58Andrew Santino?

  She was.

• 18:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 18:59Andrew Santino?

  She was. God rest her soul.

• 19:02Speaker 05

  And you made her laugh a lot.

  Yeah, like being all like all like handsome and funny and charming.

• 22:14Andrew Santino?

  Give me a fucking break, dude.

  He is great.

• 22:21Andrew Santino?

  Martin, on the other hand.

• 22:22Speaker 05

  Mar- Martin said to me, so after we shot the first season, it's a long time ago, Martin, Martin called me up. And he left me what was a loving message for Martin from, from, you know, in Martin's heart, it was a kind message. But he left me a message. He's like, hey, Marino, uh, so I watched the shows and I gotta say, um, you know, you're pretty good. I never really liked anything you did, but uh, he's like, but you're pretty good on the show. I just wanted to tell you that. I was like, thank you?

• 22:58Andrew Santino?

  That's mean, funny, true, but good. At least he turned you, it turned around.

• 23:03Speaker 05

  It was fantastic. He's like, yeah, I've never been a real fan of yours, but uh,

• 23:07Andrew Santino?

  Really?

• 23:08Speaker 05

  Really good. Yeah, it's great.

• 23:09Andrew Santino?

• 23:10Speaker 05

  But that's Martin. Like, like he was just being honest. It wasn't, it wasn't, he wasn't, it wasn't meant to be mean or like biting. He was just like, I just didn't get your shit and now I, now I get your shit.

• 23:23Andrew Santino?

  Right. Who do you go up against the most for shit? Who's the guy that you're like, that fucking guy? When I was, when you were young, that you're like, that guy and I go for the same thing all the time?

• 23:32Speaker 05

  Oh. I don't even remember half the people's names anymore. I mean, it's, go up against it.

• 23:39Andrew Santino?

  They're down there and you're up there? And you know that's true?

• 23:42Speaker 05

  Or they're, or I just forget everybody's names.

  Santino.

• 23:50Andrew Santino?

  Do you ever do that? Do you go? Marino.

• 23:52Speaker 05

  Well, you did it when you introduced me.

• 23:54Andrew Santino?

  I went, Marino.

• 23:55Speaker 05

  Marino.

  Whackamo?

  Whackamo, Caca-Cock.

  I do that when I, whenever I travel, I do the thing where I go, um, uh, like you're them. You know how they pause and they do-

• 24:10Speaker 05

  I get nervous. When I went to Italy one time,

• 24:15Speaker 05

  my wife makes fun of me. Cause I was so nervous. And we were in Italy and I was trying to say goodbye. And I went,

• 24:25Speaker 05

  I went,

• 24:27Speaker 05

  Hola. As we left. And she's like, not only did you speak the wrong language, but you also said hello as you were leaving. I get nervous. I just get a little nervous.

• 24:39Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, but Hola may mean hello and goodbye. You could say that, couldn't you? He's, he's from, he's from Spain.

• 24:44Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 24:45Andrew Santino?

  He's from Spain. He should be our fans. You can't do that?

• 24:47Speaker 05

  Oh, so I nailed it?

• 24:48Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 24:49Speaker 05

  You, you did.

• 24:50Andrew Santino?

  What is the, what's the young kid's way of saying hi and goodbye? Like what's a what's up?

• 24:55Speaker 05

  Ciao.

• 24:56Speaker 06

  Ciao.

• 24:56Andrew Santino?

  Ciao?

• 24:57Speaker 05

  Ciao.

• 24:57Andrew Santino?

  And ciao is hi and goodbye. You can do ciao for both.

• 25:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah. Not Hola.

• 25:02Andrew Santino?

  I think hello is, you know what, I'm gonna start saying-

• 25:04Speaker 05

  But in, in, in Italian, you don't say, o, hola?

• 25:07Andrew Santino?

  No, you, no, you say ciao.

• 25:09Speaker 06

  You say ciao.

• 25:09Andrew Santino?

  Ciao, in Italian?

• 25:10Speaker 05

  No, but I'm saying when I was in Italy, I said, as I was leaving, goodbye. Okay, you got it.

• 25:14Andrew Santino?

  I'm trying to support you, man.

• 25:15Speaker 05

  There's nothing to support. It was a mess. It was a hunk and it's a goddamn train wreck.

• 25:19Andrew Santino?

  And your wife is like, it's not mine. I don't know who that is. That's, that's a man we found.

• 25:23Speaker 05

  She just, I don't know what to say to you. Just, just say goodbye.

• 25:27Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, say, yeah.

• 25:28Speaker 05

  They'll understand.

• 25:29Andrew Santino?

  Do the, I always do the English. I don't even pretend. We were in France. My wife tried to like, the cabbie tried to do the thing, cause she does speak French, but not like them. And the Parisian cabbie was like, what is, what, what, why?

• 25:43Speaker 05

  Just tell me.

• 25:44Andrew Santino?

  He was fucking livid about it. And she turned to me, I was like, hey, man, she's just trying to, I'm sorry, dude.

• 25:49Speaker 05

  Now you got the apps. You can just talk into an app and it says it beautifully to-

• 25:53Andrew Santino?

  Have you seen the, uh, uh, what Carlos got him, right? The, the, our buddy got the headphones and they translate live.

• 25:59Speaker 05

  I've seen that. Uh, I haven't seen it in, in real life. I've just seen ads for it.

• 26:03Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, and it works though. He said it works incredibly well.

• 26:06Speaker 05

  So what happens? You hear it and it immediately translates it?

• 26:09Andrew Santino?

  And it, it receives it the way you would on talking on a call and it translates it live? And then you can, you can talk and the app can translate for you?

• 26:18Speaker 05

  Jesus Christ, it's too much. Too many things.

• 26:21Andrew Santino?

  I know.

• 26:21Speaker 05

  I've got too many things in my ha, hand and my ear.

• 26:24Andrew Santino?

  What, wait till you see the new AirPod ass. They, they put it right up your ass and it-

• 26:28Speaker 05

  I've got, I got like a, like a prototype.

• 26:30Andrew Santino?

  You got a new one?

• 26:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, I got a, a, a AirPod ass.

• 26:32Andrew Santino?

  That'd be great to do those commercials. AirPod ass.

• 26:37Andrew Santino?

  Is that Marino doing the AirPod ad ass? That's-

• 26:39Speaker 05

  I finally got a spot. I finally got a commercial.

• 26:43Andrew Santino?

  Did you do a commercial run when you were young?

• 26:45Speaker 05

  I did.

• 26:46Andrew Santino?

  A lot of, a lot of them?

• 26:47Speaker 05

  Not, not many, no. I was not good at it. I didn't like going in. Do, do you remember auditioning for commercials?

• 26:52Andrew Santino?

  200 South La Brea. I lived at that place for years and years trying to get, I got Mike's Hard Lemonade was the first commercial I booked.

• 26:57Speaker 05

  Oh, that's good.

• 26:58Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it was good.

• 27:00Speaker 05

  Um, that's when commercials sort of paid, right?

• 27:03Andrew Santino?

  That saved my life. That was one of those where like, my rent was barely getting paid with the day job that I had. And then I was, when I got that, I was like, awesome. I can, I can go out to eat once a week now.

• 27:18Speaker 05

  Steve Agee was at my house yesterday and we were talking about like commercials back then. He's like, it used to be you can book a commercial and you can like bu, buy a house. Like if you got the, if you got a good commercial. That doesn't exist anymore, does it?

• 27:31Andrew Santino?

  Uh, um, Carlos, uh, he did Yo Caro Taco Bell, the dog. Why can't I think of his last name? I'm gonna fuck it up. Carl, as, as, Akwaziri or As-

• 27:41Speaker 05

  I don't know.

• 27:42Andrew Santino?

  Look up-

• 27:43Speaker 05

  I, I think if you rewind the tape, I said earlier, I'm not good with names.

• 27:47Andrew Santino?

  Hola.

• 27:49Andrew Santino?

  Look up Carlos Taco Bell dog. He was a comedic actor. He is.

• 27:52Speaker 05

  Yo Caro Taco Bell?

• 27:53Andrew Santino?

  And he did that dog voice and that made him a, I remember somebody being like, you know, that guy bought like three houses in the Hollywood Hills from that? Cause it, it blew up and he, he was a comedic actor. I think he was a New York guy, but uh, he did the voice that, yeah, back then, if you got a big campaign and you were the guy.

• 28:09Speaker 05

  That's it.

• 28:09Andrew Santino?

  You're-

• 28:10Speaker 05

  That doesn't exist anymore, does it?

• 28:11Andrew Santino?

  No, I don't think so.

• 28:12Speaker 06

  Alasaraki.

• 28:13Andrew Santino?

  Huh? Say it.

• 28:14Speaker 06

  Alasaraki.

• 28:15Andrew Santino?

  Alasaraki.

• 28:16Speaker 05

  Hola.

• 28:16Andrew Santino?

  Carlos Alasaraki. Yeah, he was the voice of the Taco Bell dog. I remember that being like, uh, people, it's like, it was like lore. People were like, you know, if you get a voice on it, you can buy a house.

• 28:27Speaker 05

  Do you do, uh, voiceovers? I mean, do you do animated stuff?

• 28:31Andrew Santino?

  I did an animated movie called Goat that came out just now. Uh, Steph Curry. Yeah. Can we roll the tape?

• 28:37Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 28:37Andrew Santino?

  I did that, but I don't get to do much. You get to, you get to play.

• 28:42Speaker 05

  I get, I get, I get invited to like Bob's Burgers and stuff, which is always nice.

• 28:46Andrew Santino?

  Oh, we did? You did, um,

• 28:47Speaker 05

  What'd I do?

• 28:48Andrew Santino?

  Royal Crackers.

• 28:50Speaker 05

  Royal Crackers? I did?

• 28:51Andrew Santino?

  You did an episode of Royal Crackers. I'm almost a hundred percent, look him up, look him, look, look it up. I, I'm almost positive because I was going down the list of names, cause you know, you shoot individually most of the time on those things. You don't really see who else does it.

• 29:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 29:01Andrew Santino?

  Uh, but I remember them saying, and then I think Marino was gonna do it and I was like, oh, that's cool.

• 29:07Speaker 05

  Forgive me.

• 29:07Andrew Santino?

  I told you I'm a fan, dude.

• 29:09Speaker 05

  I appreciate that. I really do.

• 29:11Andrew Santino?

  Royal Crackers was a two season show. It was fucking brilliant. I thought it was so good. It was about a, um, huh? He did, right?

• 29:20Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm. The character of Keith that appears in season two, specifically in episode three.

• 29:24Speaker 05

  The character of who?

• 29:26Andrew Santino?

  Keith.

• 29:26Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 29:27Andrew Santino?

  Royal, you remember Keith, of course. Yeah, there goes Keith.

• 29:29Speaker 05

  There's Keith.

• 29:30Andrew Santino?

  You, uh, Royal Crackers was a, a disgruntled family taking over their families, young kids taking over their families, uh, literal saltine cracker business.

• 29:41Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 29:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, so we worked together. You don't even know.

• 29:44Speaker 05

  It's nice to see you again. It's nice to hear you.

• 29:46Andrew Santino?

  And Gilbert-

• 29:47Speaker 05

  Have you been since we last worked together?

• 29:48Andrew Santino?

  Eh, not good. I'll send you an email. Gilbert Gottfried did one of our episodes and he did it. Um, I highly recommend it for you, uh, and the fans. It's one of those beautiful episodes. I don't want to give it away, but something brilliant happens in it. And I remember he passed away, you know, shortly after this thing came out and I was like, the episode is like a, it's almost like a

• 30:12Andrew Santino?

  perfect send off, so to speak.

• 30:13Speaker 05

  Oh, my God.

• 30:14Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it was awesome, man. Like, when they told me, they were like, do you want to hear some Gilbert stuff? And I was like, yeah, can I just listen to it? Like, I just-

• 30:19Speaker 05

  Hear some raw Gilbert stuff?

• 30:21Andrew Santino?

  I just wanted to hear him fuck around. Like I, he was-

• 30:23Speaker 05

  That was sad.

• 30:24Andrew Santino?

  Brilliant. Yeah. My God. Let's bring it back up again.

• 30:27Speaker 05

  All right, let's bring it back up.

• 30:28Andrew Santino?

  I'm sorry to do that.

• 30:29Speaker 05

  Let's talk about some people who didn't die.

• 30:32Andrew Santino?

  Who's alive?

• 30:33Speaker 05

  Uh, I don't know. Again, I'm terrible with names.

• 30:35Andrew Santino?

  Wayne, Wayne's alive. David Wayne's alive.

• 30:36Speaker 05

  David Wayne's alive.

• 30:37Andrew Santino?

  Your boy's alive, yeah.

• 30:38Speaker 05

  Talking about the, we, we were gonna, we, I was gonna promote the movie that we-

• 30:42Andrew Santino?

  The movie's out.

• 30:43Speaker 05

  The movie is out right now.

• 30:44Andrew Santino?

  Right now.

• 30:44Speaker 05

  Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass.

• 30:46Andrew Santino?

  What a great name.

• 30:48Speaker 05

  Well, you know, we, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was taken, so we were like, what do we do?

• 30:53Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, who did that? Spielberg?

• 30:55Speaker 05

  Uh, I know he did Disclosure.

• 30:57Andrew Santino?

  Good movie.

• 30:59Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 31:05Andrew Santino?

  Gail Daughtry.

• 31:06Speaker 05

  Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is a movie that Dave and Wayne and I wrote, and it's about Gail Daughtry and a celebrity sex pass. And Zoe Deutsch plays Gail Daughtry, and the celebrity sex pass that she is trying to cash in is John Hamm.

• 31:25Andrew Santino?

  Who would want to have sex with that guy?

• 31:27Speaker 05

  Gail Daughtry.

• 31:28Andrew Santino?

  That's it to me. That's probably the only person.

• 31:30Speaker 05

  Maybe there's some other women out there.

• 31:31Andrew Santino?

  I doubt it. I highly doubt it.

• 31:32Speaker 05

  You don't think so?

• 31:32Andrew Santino?

  He doesn't seem like a very like...

• 31:34Speaker 05

  Fuckable guy?

• 31:35Andrew Santino?

  He's not a hot guy. No, he's not really a hot guy.

• 31:38Speaker 05

  It's a very funny movie. I mean, you know, not that I pay attention to, you know,

• 31:43Andrew Santino?

  Critics.

• 31:44Speaker 05

  the reviews, but 82 on the fresh tomato thing.

• 31:47Andrew Santino?

  It's rotten tomatoes.

• 31:47Speaker 05

  That means something, right?

• 31:48Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. 82 on rotten tomatoes?

• 31:50Speaker 05

  Oh, rotten tomatoes.

• 31:51Andrew Santino?

  82% fresh.

• 31:52Speaker 05

  82% fresh on rotten tomatoes.

• 31:54Andrew Santino?

  That's how you have to say it, otherwise the kids will be very confused. Yeah. That's good. 82 is really good.

• 32:00Speaker 05

  Right? That's not bad.

• 32:01Andrew Santino?

  That's good. What's the lowest you ever got?

• 32:02Speaker 05

  Any movie I've ever been in?

• 32:04Andrew Santino?

  I was just gonna say, I think my average was 16. We looked it up one time. I think I was 16 or something like that.

• 32:08Speaker 05

  I'm down there.

• 32:09Andrew Santino?

  What's it? Look up his work. I do need to see it now. This is my favorite game.

• 32:13Speaker 05

  I'm down there.

• 32:14Andrew Santino?

  What's the lowest rated Camarino thing? I think mine was, my lowest was, um...

• 32:21Andrew Santino?

  I think it was, what was it?

• 32:21Speaker 07

  House Party?

• 32:22Andrew Santino?

  House Party. That was really, really bad.

• 32:24Speaker 05

  Where did House Party land at?

• 32:25Andrew Santino?

  I think it was about four.

• 32:26Speaker 05

  Four.

• 32:27Andrew Santino?

  Four, four or five. Yeah, give or take. They redid House Party, and I was token neighbor white guy.

• 32:31Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 32:32Andrew Santino?

  And I thought, this'll be fun, man. House Party was a great movie when I was a kid. Kid in Play.

• 32:35Speaker 05

  Oh, so this was a remake of House Party?

• 32:37Andrew Santino?

  The original Kid in Play movie.

• 32:39Speaker 05

  I, what I'm fascinated with when it's that low is, who's, who's the 4%?

• 32:46Speaker 05

  Who's like...

• 32:46Andrew Santino?

  My family.

• 32:47Speaker 05

  Yeah, nailed it!

• 32:48Andrew Santino?

  My mom, my dad, my aunt, you know? People are like, that's our kid! Leave him alone!

• 32:54Speaker 07

  34% is his lowest.

• 32:56Andrew Santino?

  That's his lowest?

• 32:57Speaker 05

  Which movie?

• 32:58Speaker 07

  Masterminds.

• 32:59Andrew Santino?

  Masterminds.

• 33:00Speaker 05

  Oh, Mastermind. Yeah, but I had a good time doing Mastermind. I got to meet Owen Wilson. Um, I got to work with Owen Wilson, which was fun. I got to, uh, I got to, um, the director. The director is the guy who did Napoleon Dynamite. Uh, uh, uh, uh, come on, help me out here.

• 33:16Andrew Santino?

  No, you got, let him find it on his own.

• 33:17Speaker 05

  Jesus, so good.

• 33:18Andrew Santino?

  Stutter his way into uncomfortableness. What is the director of Mastermind?

• 33:21Speaker 07

  Jared Hess.

• 33:22Andrew Santino?

  Jared Hess? You know Jared Hess?

• 33:24Speaker 05

  Jared Hess. And he was wonderful, and then I got to hang out with Chris, uh, uh, uh, you know?

• 33:32Andrew Santino?

  Kristen Wiig.

• 33:33Speaker 05

  Kristen Wiig.

• 33:34Andrew Santino?

  Kristen Wiig. I don't know. I just threw that out there. Zach who?

• 33:37Speaker 05

  Zach Galifianakis.

• 33:38Andrew Santino?

  Galifianakis. Yes, the artist.

• 33:39Speaker 05

  Good Italian boy.

• 33:39Andrew Santino?

  The writer.

• 33:40Speaker 05

  Who?

• 33:40Andrew Santino?

  He's Greek.

• 33:41Speaker 05

  Hmm. Since when?

• 33:43Andrew Santino?

  Just turned.

• 33:44Speaker 05

  Just turned?

• 33:45Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, just what's going on internationally. I think he just switched.

• 33:47Speaker 05

  Oh, they, they changed the line?

• 33:49Andrew Santino?

  They're allowed to, the Europeans. I mean, he's Spanish for now.

• 33:53Speaker 05

  For voting rights.

• 33:54Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, well, he, he just, well, he became naturalized. He just became a US citizen, which we don't know if we're comfortable with because...

• 34:00Speaker 05

  I'm not.

• 34:01Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. Oh, so go ahead. Say USA.

• 34:02Speaker 05

  USA.

• 34:03Andrew Santino?

  See, yeah, you have to do that when you take the test. You have to chant USA.

• 34:05Speaker 05

  You do?

• 34:06Andrew Santino?

  Yep.

• 34:06Speaker 05

  Oh, God.

• 34:07Andrew Santino?

  It's question 19 or, 19 or 20 on there.

• 34:10Speaker 05

  In that order? You have to say the letters in that order?

• 34:12Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, and if you fuck it up, that's it.

• 34:14Speaker 05

  I'd fuck it up.

• 34:16Andrew Santino?

  By the way, we took the nationalism, like the nationalizing test, like with the guys. I was like, let's just take it to see if we...

• 34:22Speaker 05

  Oh, my God.

• 34:23Andrew Santino?

  We all failed. We all fucking failed. He was like, I'm going in to take my test. I'm like, how hard is this? It's fucking impossible.

• 34:30Speaker 05

  I bet.

• 34:30Andrew Santino?

  It was so hard.

• 34:32Speaker 05

  I just got, I just had a panic attack just thinking about that. They're like...

• 34:36Andrew Santino?

  It was nuts. I think we got like three questions right, and I was like, we would fail our own... He knows, he was informing us. He's like, did you know? And I was like, no, we didn't know.

• 34:45Speaker 05

  No, we didn't know that.

• 34:45Andrew Santino?

  We knew none of this fucking stuff.

• 34:46Speaker 05

  We don't have to know that. We were born here.

• 34:48Andrew Santino?

  We live here, baby. We're real Americans. We don't know shit about this place.

• 34:53Speaker 05

  We're just proud of it.

• 34:55Andrew Santino?

  It is kind of the, that is kind of the vibe, that while you're taking it, you think, man, none of these guys even know. Well, good for you. And now he's here, so we can't kick him out. Thank God, because we do need him. He's a valuable resource to us.

• 35:07Speaker 05

  When did this happen?

• 35:09Speaker 07

  2022.

• 35:10Andrew Santino?

  2022. We're holding on strong to it, though.

• 35:13Speaker 05

  Congratulations.

• 35:14Andrew Santino?

  It's a big deal for us, you know, because we were afraid that we were gonna take him. No one's gonna take him now. Uh, pajamas?

• 35:21Speaker 05

  Uh, sweatpants or t-shirts?

• 35:25Andrew Santino?

  Sweatpants. You don't get too hot?

• 35:27Speaker 05

  So, uh, when I get hot, I wear just like, um, cut-up sweatpants.

• 35:31Andrew Santino?

  You'll send us a photo so we can show it to the audience?

• 35:33Speaker 05

  Now?

• 35:34Andrew Santino?

  When you get home.

• 35:35Speaker 05

  Sure.

• 35:36Andrew Santino?

  Thank you so much.

• 35:37Speaker 05

  Um, I like sometimes just, uh, just a t-shirt. Nothing on down there. Because my shoulders get cold.

• 35:47Speaker 05

  Is that weird?

• 35:48Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 35:48Speaker 05

  My shoulders get cold.

• 35:49Andrew Santino?

  That's the Winnie the Pooh. That's what that's called.

• 35:51Speaker 05

  And sometimes I'm like, you know, like, I like a birthday suit when you're in a hotel. I'm like, ah, I'm just gonna just take a shower and then get in bed and be naked. But then my shoulders always get cold. I don't know why.

• 36:04Andrew Santino?

  You get, get those little shoulder pads from the 80s that they used to put in women's suits.

• 36:07Speaker 05

  I just need a little shoulder warmer, like hand warmers, but just really, like, just stick them on my shoulders.

• 36:10Andrew Santino?

  Why don't you just drape a towel over your shoulders? Like a...

• 36:13Speaker 05

  Because I roll around a lot. I'm like a rotisserie chicken. I'm constantly like...

• 36:17Andrew Santino?

  Hmm, sounds like an invention that needs to be made by Marino and Santino. Marino and Santino Shoulder Warmers.

• 36:24Andrew Santino?

  I think we should do that. The Marino Santino Shoulder Warmers. Keep you warm at night.

• 36:28Speaker 05

  It's a market that has not been tapped into.

• 36:31Andrew Santino?

  The Marino Santino Shoulder Warmers? I mean, let's not say it without our names, because we are patenting this.

• 36:35Speaker 05

  Yes, Marino Santino Shoulder Warmers. It has to be us.

• 36:38Andrew Santino?

  People do need, well, because, because look, scarves, you know, they do shoulders and necks. We're not worried about the neck.

• 36:45Speaker 05

  No.

• 36:45Andrew Santino?

  Our company's only worried about...

• 36:47Speaker 05

  It's the shoulders.

• 36:47Andrew Santino?

  Shoulders, my brother. Cold shoulders. Do you have cold shoulders? Is your wife giving you the cold shoulder every night? Get yourself a Marino Santino Shoulder Warmer. Is it plug-in or is it battery? How do we do this?

• 36:58Speaker 05

  Uh, I think it's, well, I think now with everything, you could just Bluetooth it. You just plug it in, and then it's charged for a while. It's like a phone charger.

• 37:05Andrew Santino?

  And music?

• 37:06Speaker 05

  Use it just if you want. That's a little bit more.

• 37:08Andrew Santino?

  White noise? Yeah, that's a little more expensive.

• 37:10Speaker 05

  White noise would be nice.

  By the way, my wife and I got in this talk last time. We stayed in a hotel.

• 37:32Speaker 05

  It's good that you guys are still talking.

• 37:34Andrew Santino?

  Not, well, this is only on Sundays.

• 37:35Speaker 05

  Oh, okay.

• 37:37Andrew Santino?

  Right there, big dog. We stayed in, he's up there. Uh, we stayed in, uh, don't come down.

• 37:42Speaker 05

  He's coming down?

• 37:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, he will.

• 37:44Speaker 05

  Oh, shit. All right. Don't look up. Don't look up.

• 37:46Andrew Santino?

  Please, please! We stayed, we were in a hotel in New York, and I got out of the shower, got in bed naked, and I always sleep naked. And she said, "You know, I just can't do it in hotels. I don't know who's in here last." I said, "They clean the sheets."

• 37:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 37:59Andrew Santino?

  And she said, "Not the comforter." I said, "You think they don't?" She said, "No chance."

• 38:03Speaker 05

  I don't know if they clean the comforter, but I, I, I think about that, but you're not sleeping on top of the comforter, right?

• 38:08Andrew Santino?

  But I kick around. So you're, you're a rotisserie chicken, and I'm, I'm a kicking and screaming. I'm, oh, I'm, I move the sheets a lot. I kick them off of me.

• 38:15Speaker 05

  Pull them out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 38:16Andrew Santino?

  So then I get worried.

• 38:17Speaker 05

  Do you like, um, uh, some people wear socks?

• 38:21Andrew Santino?

  Crazy people. That's insane.

• 38:22Speaker 05

  I don't understand that.

• 38:23Andrew Santino?

  What are we talking about?

• 38:23Speaker 05

  I need my feet to get air.

• 38:25Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 38:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, otherwise, because that's, that's what regulates the temperature. You said, uh, to sweatpants so I get too hot. Not if I could stick my feet out from underneath the sheets, but the rest of me is under the sheets, except for the t-shirt that's covering my cold shoulders. It's complicated. It's like a, it's a...

• 38:40Andrew Santino?

  It's a whole thing.

• 38:42Speaker 05

  Math equation.

• 38:43Andrew Santino?

  Do you have to check stuff off before you go?

• 38:44Speaker 05

  I do, I do. I also tape my nose.

• 38:47Andrew Santino?

  You do that?

• 38:48Speaker 05

  I tape my nose, and now I have this, and I tape my mouth.

• 38:52Andrew Santino?

  You do mouth tape?

• 38:53Speaker 05

  Yeah, but I just stopped because, um, I found this thing, because I grind my teeth.

• 38:57Andrew Santino?

  Me too.

• 38:58Speaker 05

  But now I got this thing that I bought. I didn't, I don't want to go, like, my dentist is like, you grind your teeth. Let me, uh, come in here for a fitting, and, and it's a $400 uh, mouth guard that you got. And I'm like, I don't want to pay $400 for the thing. And then I went to, you know, CVS.

• 39:12Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 39:13Speaker 05

  And you get one for, you know, a $25.

• 39:15Andrew Santino?

  Yep.

• 39:15Speaker 05

  Works great.

• 39:16Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 39:17Speaker 05

  So what the hell is my dentist trying to do to me?

• 39:19Andrew Santino?

  Uh, the medical industrial complex is trying to take over, and you're fighting the good fight.

• 39:24Speaker 05

  Big dentist?

• 39:25Andrew Santino?

  Big dentist is out there.

• 39:26Speaker 05

  Big dentist is out there.

• 39:27Andrew Santino?

  Just one big dentist.

• 39:28Speaker 05

  Hey, did we have a nice time in Children's Hospital?

• 39:31Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 39:31Speaker 05

  We did not. Did you have a nice time?

• 39:33Andrew Santino?

  I had an incredible time. I was remarkably nervous.

• 39:35Speaker 05

  Were you?

• 39:36Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. I mean, I, like, it was, I was, you know, I was very new to like, I was a stand-up, and I wanted to try to do comedic acting, and then I was so new to the world. I had done, and I think around, that was 2013? So I'd done like The Office. I got to do like a cameo on the, like, I did a few pop-around things, but I was a fan of the show, and I was a fan of a lot of you guys on the show. Not everyone. There was a few people I didn't like on the show.

• 39:59Speaker 05

  That's what I want to know.

• 40:00Andrew Santino?

  You know who it was.

• 40:00Speaker 05

  Okay, sure.

• 40:01Andrew Santino?

  Say it in the count of three. One, two, three.

• 40:05Speaker 05

  Again?

• 40:06Andrew Santino?

  No, I had a great time. I was just very nervous. I was genuinely very nervous, which is funny, because like, then years later, someone's like, are you nervous doing this or that with these people? And I'm like, no. I was way more nervous on like a comedy show of people that I admired, more so than like a, some A-list, whoever the fuck that like, that was like, they're coming in for a day. The superstar come. I don't give a shit. I don't, I, I was more about people that I admired. So, yeah, I wasn't, I was very nervous in bed, and I was like, please be funny. Don't fuck it up.

• 40:35Speaker 05

  Oh, wait. I saw you at the Family Feud, the Celebrity Family Feud thing. We were there.

• 40:42Andrew Santino?

  We lost, by the way.

• 40:43Speaker 05

  We won.

• 40:44Andrew Santino?

  I know.

• 40:45Speaker 05

  Do you know who we played? Do you remember?

• 40:47Andrew Santino?

  You guys played, um...

• 40:48Speaker 05

  The fucking Osmonds.

• 40:50Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah, the, yeah, Donny Osmond. That's right. I remember seeing him. Yeah.

• 40:52Speaker 05

  We played the Osmonds, which was the reason I did it. I was like, you, I'm gonna, my, me and my family are gonna play up against the Osmonds?

• 41:00Andrew Santino?

  So cool.

• 41:01Speaker 05

  It was great.

• 41:02Andrew Santino?

  And you cooked them. You were rubbing it in a little bit.

• 41:04Speaker 05

  We took it out, we took them out real quick.

• 41:06Andrew Santino?

  Backstage, you go, fuck you, Osmonds!

• 41:09Speaker 05

  Yeah, we got into a little bit of a, a little stuff.

• 41:11Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you beat his ass.

• 41:12Speaker 05

  I didn't beat his ass, but, you know, we did.

• 41:14Andrew Santino?

  It looked like it, dude. You were, I just, I saw you staring at me, smiling.

• 41:17Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 41:18Andrew Santino?

  Just haymakers. Yeah.

• 41:19Speaker 05

  I'm a little bit country. I just looked at you. I was like, I'm a little bit country!

• 41:25Andrew Santino?

  Why did, yeah, well, I was, I was down. I was like, yeah, get him. We lost a flavor flave.

• 41:30Speaker 05

  You did?

• 41:30Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 41:32Speaker 05

  Did you have any good answers, or did you...

• 41:34Andrew Santino?

  We did. We actually got screwed. If you look at the tape, kids at home, one of the questions was, and you're gonna be on my team about this. Listen, this is insane. What do you do at night that you regret the next morning? Things you do at night that you regret the next morning?

• 41:49Speaker 05

  Drink.

• 41:51Andrew Santino?

  Of course. Give me a couple, give me a couple easy ones.

• 41:52Speaker 05

  Uh, drugs, uh, yeah, things that you do at night. Eat, eat. You eat late, you know? Um, you know, like, then you have, then you...

• 42:02Andrew Santino?

  And what's a thing you might feel regret if you're a single, young person, and you're out drinking late at night, and you meet someone?

• 42:07Speaker 05

  You hit on somebody, you're...

• 42:08Andrew Santino?

  Or you sleep with someone?

• 42:10Speaker 05

  Or you sleep with somebody, yeah, for sure.

• 42:11Andrew Santino?

  You might be like, I wish I didn't do that. Okay. These are literally all of our answers. If you rewind it back, those are the four we gave.

• 42:17Speaker 05

  All X's?

• 42:18Andrew Santino?

  And the winning, one of them was right. And the winning thing that we missed, the one that we missed, was, um... Uh, working out.

• 42:29Andrew Santino?

  And I looked at Steve Harvey, he looked at us and he was like, "I don't know."

• 42:32Speaker 05

  Why would you regret working out late at night?

• 42:35Andrew Santino?

  It was, I was, I was so mad about it, the, like, and he, Steve, off camera, he's like, "Man, that was, that was terrible, y'all got screwed." I was like, "Working out?" Like even he was like, "That was really bad."

• 42:45Speaker 05

  That makes no sense.

• 42:46Andrew Santino?

  Insane. But we had a great time meeting Flav and his family.

• 42:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 42:49Andrew Santino?

  Flava, Flava, Mr. Flav, as it were. Uh, Sir Flav.

• 42:53Speaker 05

  I think it's John Flav.

• 42:54Andrew Santino?

  Is it Jonathan, Jonathan Flav?

• 42:55Speaker 05

  John Flavoricious or something like that, I think, originally it was.

• 42:58Andrew Santino?

  He had so many kin, so, so many young people, that two of his children met for the first time at Family Feud.

• 43:05Speaker 05

  How about that?

• 43:05Andrew Santino?

  Backstage.

• 43:06Speaker 05

  Did they feud?

• 43:07Andrew Santino?

  It was more family than feud.

• 43:09Speaker 05

  Oh, well, that's nice.

• 43:09Andrew Santino?

  We watched it happen, too. He was like, "They're meeting!" And I'm like, "Who are these people?"

• 43:14Speaker 05

  That's beautiful.

• 43:15Andrew Santino?

  He's like, "Those are my kids!" I was like, "That's amazing!" They literally were like, "What's up, man? It's good to see you!" I was like, "Oh, that's very cool." So that's why he deserved to win and we deserved to lose, even though our charity was much more important, but it's fine. Who was your charity? Who'd you play for?

• 43:26Speaker 05

  Uh, we played for a, um...

• 43:28Andrew Santino?

  The Santino Moreno?

• 43:30Speaker 05

  No, we played for, uh, like a homeless, uh, uh, what the heck's the name, the name of it? Oh my god. I can't remember names.

• 43:37Andrew Santino?

  It's okay.

• 43:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 43:38Andrew Santino?

  Here in LA?

• 43:38Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 43:39Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, homeless thing.

• 43:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 43:40Andrew Santino?

  A homeless...

• 43:41Speaker 05

  It was great. They needed it.

• 43:42Andrew Santino?

  We did children's. We always give to the kids. I've always said this, this is very dark, but it is true, that when an adult gets cancer, you're like, "Ugh, that's bad." But when a kid gets cancer, you're like, "That's actually bad." It's not that adults, I don't care if you get cancer, but it's just, I don't, it happens.

• 43:59Speaker 05

  It happens.

• 44:00Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, with kids, you're like, "That doesn't deserve to happen," but then all, you're like, "What are you gonna do, man?"

• 44:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, and what was Flava Flav's?

• 44:06Andrew Santino?

  Uh, it was, uh, uh...

• 44:07Speaker 05

  Shoelaces.

• 44:08Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, shoelaces, uh, chain extenders. It was just an extension, you could, you could make your chain longer or shorter, given the occasion. It's a good...

• 44:15Speaker 05

  It's great, it's great.

• 44:16Andrew Santino?

  It's a gig.

• 44:17Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 44:17Andrew Santino?

  No, it was all about clocks. It was actually, he was trying to...

• 44:22Andrew Santino?

  He wanted to make sure...

• 44:23Speaker 05

  Save the clocks.

• 44:23Andrew Santino?

  Save the clocks. Him and Doc Brown were in on this whole thing.

• 47:47Andrew Santino?

  No, but I love the name.

• 47:49Speaker 05

  Yes, he's like one of the biggest stars in Mexico.

• 47:51Andrew Santino?

  He knows, you know who that is, don't you? Eugenio...

• 47:54Speaker 07

  Eugenio Derbez.

• 47:55Andrew Santino?

  See, does that sound nicer when he does that?

• 47:56Speaker 05

  Did you ever see, uh, How to Be a Latin Lover?

• 47:59Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 48:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, I directed that.

  Awesome movie.

  Yeah, but that's not right.

• 48:24Andrew Santino?

  That's wrong! That's gotta be incorrect.

• 48:26Speaker 05

  It's a funnier movie.

• 48:26Andrew Santino?

  It's 400%.

• 48:28Speaker 07

  61 on the pop...

• 48:30Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 48:40Andrew Santino?

  Would you direct me?

• 48:42Speaker 05

  I'd love to direct you.

• 48:44Andrew Santino?

  I'm not a good actor, but I do take notes well.

• 48:46Speaker 05

  Uh, I don't think you have to be a good actor. You just have to be you, and I think it would be easy for you to be you.

• 48:53Andrew Santino?

  What I'm asking right now, this whole ruse was set up so you could give me a job.

• 48:56Speaker 05

  Let's do it. Oh, I have to get you one? I thought you had something for me.

• 48:59Andrew Santino?

  Give me a job.

• 49:00Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, but I needed you to give me the directing job. Shit. We're at a crossroads here.

• 49:06Andrew Santino?

  We really are. How do we go, do you want another refill? Yeah, a little bit more.

• 49:10Speaker 05

  No, but I need another goddamn ice cube.

• 49:12Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. Will you go get him a little bit of ice? Here, will you grab, uh, will you grab this?

• 49:16Speaker 05

  No, this is getting crazy now.

• 49:17Andrew Santino?

  We got, well...

• 49:18Speaker 05

  What is this, though?

• 49:19Andrew Santino?

  Oh, that's Liquid IV that'll make you healthy in between...

• 49:23Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 49:23Andrew Santino?

  Yeah? Will you go get that from, look at Fancy's gonna...

• 49:25Speaker 05

  Thank you so much. It's very kind of you.

• 49:27Andrew Santino?

  Are you limping still? Is your foot still bad?

• 49:28Speaker 05

  Yeah. What'd you do?

• 49:29Andrew Santino?

  I hit him with my car.

• 49:31Speaker 05

  I have a bad knee.

• 49:33Andrew Santino?

  What hap, why?

• 49:34Speaker 05

  I don't know. I think, I mean, I just hurt it over the years, and now it's, um, it's, um, uh, like, when I drive, when I drive and I hit the gas pedal or the, the brake, it, I get pains shooting up and down my leg.

• 49:46Andrew Santino?

  Getting a bad knee is such a, it's a thing that like an old white guy would have.

• 49:49Speaker 05

  I hate it because like, I, you know, I like moving around.

• 49:53Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 49:53Speaker 05

  And now I'm like, I'm limited to certain movements.

• 49:56Andrew Santino?

  What, what are you doing to fix it? Nothing?

• 49:58Speaker 05

  Yeah, uh, my first, my first thought was, "Don't do anything."

• 50:01Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 50:02Speaker 05

  And see if it just fixes itself.

• 50:04Andrew Santino?

  It should level itself out at some point.

• 50:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, yeah.

• 50:07Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, take it easy.

• 50:07Speaker 05

  I will say that over time, any, and most, you know, until I, until it doesn't work...

• 50:12Andrew Santino?

  Uh, say it.

• 50:13Speaker 05

  Until it doesn't, thank you so much.

• 50:15Andrew Santino?

  No, it's hola, it's hola.

• 50:18Speaker 05

  Until it doesn't work, you know, um, most times you, you just like wait, and then it's, it goes away.

• 50:24Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, a physical therapy can help, but that seems like cockamamie nonsense.

• 50:28Speaker 05

  That's a lot of, just, that's a lot of time. I don't have the time for that.

• 50:31Andrew Santino?

  I do physical therapy once a week.

• 50:32Speaker 05

  What do you do? On what?

• 50:34Andrew Santino?

  I just go hug this guy for an hour straight.

• 50:35Speaker 05

  Oh, it's for him?

• 50:37Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, kinda for both of us.

• 50:38Speaker 05

  Oh, it's emotional therapy for him.

• 50:40Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 50:40Speaker 05

  Physical for you.

• 50:42Andrew Santino?

  He tells me I'm a good boy.

• 50:43Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 50:44Andrew Santino?

  I hurt my back years ago and I just keep going, and I have this fear if I stop, it'll, yeah?

• 50:48Speaker 05

  I had, I had hurt my back and I got a couple of, um, uh, epidurals.

• 50:55Speaker 05

  You know what? It was great.

• 50:57Andrew Santino?

  Love.

• 50:57Speaker 05

  It really worked.

• 50:58Andrew Santino?

  Stick that needle deep inside, but...

• 51:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, and then all of a sudden, it didn't hurt anymore, and then it never came back. I don't wanna jinx it, but yeah.

• 51:04Andrew Santino?

  Did you have sciatica?

• 51:06Speaker 05

  I don't know. I just, I messed up my knee. It's just bad, it sucks.

• 51:09Andrew Santino?

  No, the back thing, did it cause any sciatic nerve pain?

• 51:11Speaker 05

  Oh, oh, oh, uh, yeah, I was getting a little bit, it just, I couldn't lay down in bed. That was bad.

• 51:17Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, especially with those sweatpants on, that must've been tough.

• 51:19Speaker 05

  I didn't, at that point, I didn't, I just went, you know, bare naked. Except for my shoulder heaters.

  Like, this is, I was so scared to pee in that, I remember as a kid, my dad was like, it's not a big deal, just, don't, you, no one's gonna be looking at your pee pee.

  And yet, everybody is.

  Yeah, this.

• 56:05Speaker 05

  Cuz now I'm in a second, uh.

  Yeah, I noticed, no, no, she, a girlfriend of mine was like, hey, this, a guy online hit her up, she's like a popular, uh, she, she's not, influencer is a bad word, but she's, uh, does something online, people see it, blah, blah, blah, a guy hits her up and is like, hey, you do OnlyFans? She's like, no. He's like, I'll give you ten grand, like, let me see different, uh, colors of toenails on your feet. She was like, I could, I would never, I was like, I would do it now.

• 56:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, you would do it, but nobody wants you to do it.

• 56:31Andrew Santino?

  Why not?

• 56:32Speaker 05

  Well, because you're a guy.

• 56:33Andrew Santino?

  You saying I don't have nice feet?

• 56:35Speaker 05

  I lo- hey, listen to me.

• 56:37Andrew Santino?

  Ken.

• 56:38Speaker 05

  I love your feet.

• 56:39Andrew Santino?

  Well.

• 56:39Speaker 05

  You have some of the best feet in Hollywood.

• 56:40Andrew Santino?

  Why wouldn't anybody wanna see my feet?

• 56:42Speaker 05

  I'm not saying that I don't want to, it's just that I don't know if a lot of people would want to.

• 56:46Andrew Santino?

  Is that why no one wants to work with me right now? It's cuz of my feet?

• 56:50Speaker 05

  I don't, I'm not gonna say it.

• 56:52Andrew Santino?

  Say it.

• 56:53Speaker 05

  People don't wanna work with you because of your feet.

• 56:58Andrew Santino?

  I knew it.

• 56:59Speaker 05

  And, big long pause.

• 57:05Speaker 05

  What is this picture over here? You seem, uh, you seem like you're crossing your eyes.

• 57:09Andrew Santino?

  Oh, that was, uh, that was, no, that was, uh, that was, no, yeah, yeah, I'm crossing my eyes.

• 57:13Speaker 05

  Yeah, what is that?

• 57:14Andrew Santino?

  That was at, that was at a pub, an event, and a photographer was taking professional, um, pictures of me, and I was very uncomfortable, and so I crossed my eyes and it.

• 57:23Speaker 05

  Do you get uncomfortable with, uh, photos, in general?

• 57:26Andrew Santino?

  Brother, can't do it, don't like to do it. Let's get a photo, we don't, we don't.

• 57:30Speaker 05

  Every time I get into a photo, I, like, have you worked on a smile? Do you ever work on a smile?

• 57:35Andrew Santino?

  You ready? So, uh, Santino, over here.

• 57:39Speaker 05

  Wait, that's, oh, oh, I thought that was, I thought that was a bit that you.

• 57:43Andrew Santino?

  I'm gonna do it to you, you're gonna do it to me.

• 57:44Speaker 05

  I thought you looked in a different direction, I thought that that was a bit, like, say, Santino over here. You say it to me first, you say it to me first, this is what I thought the bit was, you look at me first, say, Santino over here.

• 57:55Andrew Santino?

  Santino over here, Marino.

• 57:58Speaker 05

  Right, so that's what I thought the bit was, okay, so now.

• 58:00Andrew Santino?

  Okay, call me.

• 58:00Speaker 05

  So, Santino, over here.

• 58:06Speaker 05

  Awesome.

• 58:07Andrew Santino?

  Could look the other way, give me yours, you ready?

• 58:12Andrew Santino?

  Focus.

• 58:13Speaker 05

  Here we go, no, I gotta fix my hair.

• 58:15Andrew Santino?

  Ken, Ken Marino, Ken, over here, Ken. That's great, that's so good, God, you look good.

• 58:23Speaker 05

  It's, uh, it's, uh, for me, but, uh, and then every time I see it, I like, I'm like, I look like a, a bozo.

• 58:28Andrew Santino?

  You look good, that was, that kinda turned me on.

• 58:30Speaker 05

  No, no, no, no, but I do, uh, I do, uh, anytime I smile for a picture with somebody, it's a little creepy if you're next to me, cuz you hear me go.

• 58:43Andrew Santino?

  That's like a murderer.

• 58:44Speaker 05

  Yeah, I can't, I have to, I have to put a little sound into it to make it, otherwise it's this. I can't, I can't even do it, like, yeah, I have to go.

• 58:55Speaker 05

  Like I'm laughing or something, so then it seems like it's.

• 58:57Andrew Santino?

  I do the thing where if someone's with me, and I'll keep tapping on their back.

• 59:00Speaker 05

  Oh, God.

• 59:02Andrew Santino?

  I keep tapping and smiling.

• 59:03Speaker 05

  So most of the pictures, the person you're with is like, what the fuck, man?

• 59:06Andrew Santino?

  This one?

• 59:08Andrew Santino?

  I try, whenever I do public photos, if I have to do a photo, I try to get uncomfortable photos. I think it's funnier than me trying, like, if I try to do the smile.

• 59:17Speaker 05

  Right.

• 59:18Andrew Santino?

  I try to do the uncomfortable one, where I go like, like it's, yeah, I try to make them know.

• 59:23Speaker 05

  And you don't regret the uncomfortable ones?

• 59:24Andrew Santino?

  Don't care.

• 59:25Speaker 05

  I regret it cuz every time I do the uncomfortable ones, I, I'm like, god damn it, I feel weird.

• 59:30Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 59:30Speaker 05

  Cuz sometimes I'll go.

• 59:34Andrew Santino?

  What do you mean, that's so good, that's who I love, that guy, I love that guy, the.

• 59:42Andrew Santino?

  That guy fucking scares me, dude, that guy scares the shit out of me. No, give me the, here's why, I get it, I used to think, my mom's gonna see this, like, the first time I went to a premiere, I'm like, my mother's gonna be mad if I don't get. And then you look at the photo, and you're like, that doesn't look like me anyway, like, it just never, you, you always look like a, a figure, you look like a Madame Tussaud's figure of yourself whenever you take professional, nice photos.

• 1:00:03Speaker 05

  I don't, I hate, I just, I don't like still photos of myself, I like when I'm moving around, cuz then you get, uh. But as soon as you see a still photo, I'm like, ah, shit, that's what I look like?

• 1:00:12Andrew Santino?

  Candid is better.

• 1:00:13Speaker 05

  I don't like that shit.

• 1:00:14Andrew Santino?

  That's why my mom refuses, refuses to do like, a setup photo, my mother's always like, just, take a picture, to people that are taking pictures, and my dad can't stand it.

• 1:00:22Speaker 05

  Those pictures suck.

• 1:00:23Andrew Santino?

  Drive me nuts.

• 1:00:24Speaker 05

  I don't like it at all.

• 1:00:25Andrew Santino?

  Also, we used to have to do that, because it took a long time for a photograph to happen, so they were like, stand still.

• 1:00:31Speaker 05

  Right, right, right, right.

• 1:00:32Andrew Santino?

  We don't have to do that anymore, we're digital, it can be moving, it can be free.

• 1:00:35Speaker 05

  Thousands of pictures and just pick the right one.

• 1:00:37Andrew Santino?

  Just pick one, there's so many, I like now, cuz the, the youthful generation, like, if a fan, if like, a twenty-two-year-old fan, and a dude's like, yeah, take a photo of me, man, I'm like, yeah, you got it, they'll take a hundred of them, and I'm like, wow, then you can get whatever you want.

• 1:00:50Speaker 05

  Whatever you want.

• 1:00:50Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, and then I keep moving around until they get it, and I'll make fun of them, they'll get a couple of me going.

• 1:00:54Speaker 05

  How many photos do you have on your phone?

• 1:00:57Andrew Santino?

  Seventeen thousand four hundred and sixty-five. That few? Yeah, that's actually, look, look at your phone, let me see, you gotta have more than me.

• 1:01:05Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:01:06Andrew Santino?

  Gotta have more than me, just based on popularity alone.

• 1:01:08Speaker 05

  No, no, leave it in, what do you mean, fucking, this is fantastic, how come we can't get an actual number on any of these?

  Oh, that, got it, got it, got it, got it, here, look, just go to, go to library.

  Collections, here we go.

  Alright, that's too many.

• 1:02:28Andrew Santino?

  Mine says.

  Where?

• 1:02:46Andrew Santino?

  Look, mine says library items.

• 1:02:47Speaker 05

  Doesn't, it says sinking paused.

• 1:02:49Andrew Santino?

  Oh, that's.

• 1:02:50Speaker 05

  Am I, oh, because I'm on maybe, oh, you know what it is, airplane mode?

• 1:02:53Andrew Santino?

  Airplane mode, we're figuring it out.

• 1:02:55Speaker 05

  Hold on, there, wham, no.

• 1:02:57Andrew Santino?

  There it is, forty-eight thousand, forty-eight thousand seven hundred and thirty-seven, holy shit.

• 1:03:02Speaker 05

  Thousand photos.

• 1:03:03Andrew Santino?

  I'm ten thousand.

• 1:03:04Speaker 05

  Never look at any of them.

• 1:03:07Andrew Santino?

  I'm ten thousand, I thought that was a bunch, how many you got, fans?

• 1:03:11Speaker 05

  I'm trying to figure this out.

• 1:03:12Andrew Santino?

  See, it's hard to figure out, we're not this.

• 1:03:13Speaker 05

  Thousand photos.

• 1:03:15Andrew Santino?

  Ken, what could you possibly be doing, what are you doing? Are you a spy?

• 1:03:19Speaker 05

  I am a spy.

• 1:03:20Andrew Santino?

  What's your other job?

• 1:03:21Speaker 05

  Well, a spy.

• 1:03:23Andrew Santino?

  Oh, I guess it.

• 1:03:26Andrew Santino?

  Why don't you and I do spy versus spy?

• 1:03:30Speaker 05

  That'd be great.

• 1:03:31Andrew Santino?

  I would love to do spy versus spy.

• 1:03:33Speaker 05

  Are you a Mad Magazine fan? I collect Mad Magazines.

• 1:03:36Andrew Santino?

  I was when I was a youth.

• 1:03:38Speaker 05

  I have a huge, a youth, two youths.

• 1:03:40Andrew Santino?

  When I was a youth, two youths.

• 1:03:42Speaker 05

  I have a large, very large Mad Magazine collection.

• 1:03:47Andrew Santino?

  I did, I did, I did enjoy.

• 1:03:48Speaker 05

  Individually bagged? Yes.

• 1:03:51Andrew Santino?

  So this is your, this is your, you say, "I don't want for much." You do love this. What's, like, have you paid a lot of money for some of these? For Mad Magazines?

• 1:04:00Speaker 05

  I paid not that much. I had collected them over the years and then, I didn't pay that much for any, but there were a couple of like really early, early ones. Like I got, I got a damaged number three. That I paid a little money for.

• 1:04:14Andrew Santino?

  Do you have a number one?

• 1:04:15Speaker 05

  I have a, I don't think I have a damaged number one. No, I think the earliest one is like a damaged number three.

• 1:04:22Andrew Santino?

  The irony would be that Mad Magazine, in perfect condition, would be worth less money. It should be damaged.

• 1:04:27Speaker 05

  That's mad!

• 1:04:28Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's crazy! Alfred E. Newman, which I got called. Actually, my biggest insult as a child was, Opie Taylor.

• 1:04:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, from, uh, from, uh...

• 1:04:40Andrew Santino?

  Andy Griffith, yeah, Ron Howard. When I went to...

• 1:04:42Speaker 05

  Any, any redheaded boy.

• 1:04:44Andrew Santino?

  But him especially, because black people in Chicago at my school would always go, "Here go Opie. Here go little dumbass Opie."

• 1:04:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:04:51Andrew Santino?

  And I loved it.

• 1:04:52Speaker 05

  Sure.

• 1:04:53Andrew Santino?

  I thought, "Here comes Opie!"

• 1:04:54Speaker 05

  Specificity.

• 1:04:55Andrew Santino?

  I ran right into it. "Here's Opie!"

• 1:04:56Speaker 05

  Here I am!

• 1:04:57Andrew Santino?

  And they liked it, actually. If I made fun of it, they liked it.

• 1:04:59Speaker 05

  Of course.

• 1:05:00Andrew Santino?

  But Opie was...

• 1:05:01Speaker 05

  Do you think that that's why you became a comedian? Because you discovered? You discover, I think partially that's why I got into comedy.

• 1:05:09Andrew Santino?

  You got picked on as a little lad?

• 1:05:10Speaker 05

  Yeah. I mean, you know, throughout my, you know, at times I would get picked on in junior high and high school.

• 1:05:16Andrew Santino?

  What was the insult? What was the reason for the picking?

• 1:05:19Speaker 05

  Um, the, well, there were two junior highs, and so if you were from one junior high and somebody from the other junior high didn't like you, they would come after you. And I was from the junior high on the wrong side of the tracks. So like the, you know, the fancier, wealthier kids, you know, if they didn't like me, they would make fun of me.

• 1:05:43Andrew Santino?

  Just like the Bad News Bears?

• 1:05:45Speaker 05

  Yeah, sort of like the Bad News Bears.

• 1:05:45Andrew Santino?

  Basically, yeah. But you, your, your, hmm, your idea to exercise your gift came, you think, partially from this? Or was it all, as a young kid, were you always like, I kind of like entertaining for people?

• 1:06:03Speaker 05

  Well, just going back to the other thing, I, you know, I did get that, I got the bug early on. And then, for whatever reason, everything that transpired afterwards kept leading me down that path. So there were always people who were pushing me in that direction. Do you have people supporting you and pushing?

• 1:06:22Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 1:06:22Speaker 05

  Interesting.

• 1:06:22Andrew Santino?

  I'm on an island alone.

• 1:06:23Speaker 05

  So wait, so you said...

• 1:06:24Andrew Santino?

  My mom sends me a text every day, "Quit."

• 1:06:27Speaker 05

  No, that's not true.

• 1:06:28Andrew Santino?

  Quit.

• 1:06:29Speaker 05

  That's not true.

• 1:06:29Andrew Santino?

  She spells it wrong. She says "quite."

• 1:06:31Speaker 05

  Maybe she's just telling me to be quiet. Quiet.

• 1:06:35Andrew Santino?

  No, I do, my, no, my, they're very supportive, because they don't understand it. So they're very like, "Go do it."

• 1:06:39Speaker 05

  So they're very supportive?

• 1:06:41Andrew Santino?

  Oh my god, yeah.

• 1:06:41Speaker 05

  But, and, but throughout your early career, did you find that you found people who would continue to push you in that direction or try to dissuade you from like?

• 1:06:51Andrew Santino?

  No one ever dissuaded me, because it was, I, to be very honest, you're, you're an intellect. I was never a smart guy. I was like a Dumbo and they were like...

• 1:06:59Speaker 05

  You think I'm an intellect? That's very kind of you.

• 1:07:02Andrew Santino?

  Well, I mean, you went to a prestigious university, right?

• 1:07:04Speaker 05

  For acting.

• 1:07:05Andrew Santino?

  So what? I got, I, brother, I went to Arizona State and I barely got through. Yeah, I went there for, I acted like a student. I did a very good job and I would go to class and I would go, "Classmates? Classmates?" And I would leave.

• 1:07:17Speaker 05

  But I didn't, I don't remember any classes I took other than the acting classes. And really, I, I remember the acting classes because that's what I wanted to do. And I remember the state, because that's where I met them there.

• 1:07:26Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:27Speaker 05

  So, but everything else, I don't, I don't recall.

• 1:07:30Andrew Santino?

  You met Wayne in school? David Wayne in school?

• 1:07:33Speaker 05

  David Wayne and, David Wayne and Craig Wedren, who scores all of our stuff and is a musician. He was in Shutter to Think and he's an incredible musician and scores any movie that David does and I do, and he's an incredible person.

• 1:07:49Speaker 05

  I met the both of them day one, my first day of college.

• 1:07:53Andrew Santino?

  So don't you think, and yes, it's a little bit of whiskey. Don't you think this was supposed to happen?

• 1:08:00Speaker 05

  What? Us being here? You and I?

• 1:08:02Andrew Santino?

  Just you got, you guys making it together. It's almost like the universe was like, "I'm gonna make this."

• 1:08:07Speaker 05

  Uh, look, the, the luck I had meeting David and Craig and then, a year later, meeting everybody in the state and becoming a group, you know, becoming a member of that group, which was Tom Lennon, Michael Ian Black,

• 1:08:23Andrew Santino?

  Carrie Kenny.

• 1:08:23Speaker 05

  Joe LaTrulio, Carrie Kenny, Michael Patrick Chan, David Wayne,

• 1:08:32Speaker 05

  I'm missing, Michael Showalter and Kevin Allison and Todd Hollibek. Like, like 11 people who were, like, most of those people are still here creating stuff and we're creating stuff together and separately and, like, I, I, I don't even know what to say, like, about that. It's insane.

• 1:08:51Andrew Santino?

  Annoyingly, I feel like sometimes the universe is like, "Watch this." Like, I think it's like a...

• 1:08:56Speaker 05

  It's weird, it's weird that we, it's weird that we all got together and that we're all like here doing our shit 30 years later.

• 1:09:03Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. I mean, I feel like it's something, I don't like the word luck, because I think luck is a...

• 1:09:07Speaker 05

  But it is luck.

• 1:09:08Andrew Santino?

  No, I don't think so.

• 1:09:09Speaker 05

  What would you, what would you say?

• 1:09:10Andrew Santino?

  I don't believe in luck. I had a, a, a very, a much smarter man one time, my, my buddy's father, who's a very brilliant guy, he was a, he was a programmer and he was like, I got my first sitcom and I was having dinner at their house and he was like, "How great, huh?" And I go, "Lucky dude." He's like, "Nah, man." I was like, "What?" He's like, "Luck is a, that's a lie." He's like, "The lottery is luck, because you have no influence on it whatsoever. This is just kind of a gift from the universe if it happens." He's like, "You did a lot of stuff to get the thing to happen, so fortunate, for sure."

• 1:09:37Speaker 05

  It's interesting, but I mean, luck has, but you could, you could do a lot of stuff to put yourself in a position. You still need some luck. Well, what, then, then what is, then what is lot, what is, winning a lottery ticket? You have to buy it, right?

• 1:09:53Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, but, but that's almost no effort on your own.

• 1:09:56Speaker 05

  But you have to do something. You have to be proac, you proactively have to do something.

• 1:10:00Andrew Santino?

  Kind of.

• 1:10:01Speaker 05

  And put yourself in a situation where then, if, if luck happens,

• 1:10:05Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:05Speaker 05

  it, it, it, then...

• 1:10:07Andrew Santino?

  But buying a lottery ticket is so different than you creating.

• 1:10:10Speaker 05

  Sure, I was just going with you said.

• 1:10:11Andrew Santino?

  I know, but I think it's just like the gap is so big of like...

• 1:10:14Speaker 05

  So what are you saying? So if it's not luck, what is it?

• 1:10:16Andrew Santino?

  Something, man. Something the universe is...

• 1:10:18Speaker 05

  Put a name to it.

• 1:10:19Andrew Santino?

  Uh, Yahweh?

• 1:10:23Speaker 05

  Now, now you need to define that.

• 1:10:27Andrew Santino?

  No, I think sometimes the universe wants something to happen. I don't know why.

• 1:10:31Speaker 05

  So what did the universe want to happen with the state?

• 1:10:34Andrew Santino?

  You become a successful cult, beautiful moment in time for culture and comedy, and then grow you guys outside of that. It was almost like it was supposed to be. That's what I mean. Like, it's like, you met the dogfish head kid. It was like, it was supposed to be your roommate.

• 1:10:49Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:10:50Andrew Santino?

  Because not everyone gets the dogfish head. My, my roommate had gout.

• 1:10:54Andrew Santino?

  You understand what I'm saying? It's like, not everyone's gonna get the same, I just feel like sometimes the universe does these things to you, whether you deserve them or not, and it just puts things in position to be a beautiful life story. And I don't think it's luck, I just think it's, eh, something. I don't know. I don't know what it is. What do you believe? I don't know. What is your...

• 1:11:14Speaker 05

  Are you a religious person?

• 1:11:17Andrew Santino?

  Uh, I don't like, no, I don't like the word religion. I'm, uh, I'm...

• 1:11:21Speaker 05

  Are you a spiritual person?

• 1:11:22Andrew Santino?

  Yes, spiritual, yeah. I'd like, I'd rather say that.

• 1:11:23Speaker 05

  So what does that mean to you?

• 1:11:25Andrew Santino?

  I just think that, um, not everything's gonna have an explanation, but I, but for the things that are so powerful or unexplainable, that's what I mean. That something had something to do with something. That I don't, I couldn't even pinpoint.

• 1:11:40Speaker 05

  A greater being, like something outside of us?

• 1:11:43Andrew Santino?

  I don't want to pin it to like a guy in the sky.

• 1:11:45Speaker 05

  No, no, no, but...

• 1:11:45Andrew Santino?

  But I mean, like, something wanted this to happen.

• 1:11:52Speaker 05

  Why can't we just put the name luck to it?

• 1:11:53Andrew Santino?

  I hate that word.

• 1:11:54Speaker 05

  Johnny Luck!

• 1:11:55Andrew Santino?

  Because I'm Irish and like, it's offensive to us.

• 1:11:57Speaker 05

  Oh, I see, I get it.

• 1:11:58Andrew Santino?

  Ah, the luck of the Irish!

• 1:11:59Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:12:00Andrew Santino?

  The luck of the Irish?

• 1:12:01Speaker 05

  So you're Irish and Italian?

• 1:12:03Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:04Speaker 05

  So who is Italian?

• 1:12:05Andrew Santino?

  Hey, put 'em up!

• 1:12:12Andrew Santino?

  I see the little green guy. Hey, what's the matter, you? Hey, gabo go! That's so dumb.

• 1:12:20Speaker 05

  So...

• 1:12:22Speaker 05

  All right, wait.

• 1:12:23Andrew Santino?

  My mother's Irish. My mom is a little leprechaun woman. She's tiny.

• 1:12:26Speaker 05

  Oh, she really is?

• 1:12:27Andrew Santino?

  Yes, yeah, we got one. We caught her.

• 1:12:31Speaker 05

  Is she digging into that little pot of gold?

• 1:12:33Andrew Santino?

  She won't give us that fucking pot of gold. We don't know where the pot of gold is.

• 1:12:35Speaker 05

  She wasn't paying attention.

• 1:12:36Andrew Santino?

  All right then, lads, where's the pot of gold? Um, oh, yeah. I just think luck, the luck word, it always made me, I like scoffed at it, because I was like, luck is a thing that exists, but you didn't get lucky.

• 1:12:53Speaker 05

  Look, whatever it was, I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

• 1:12:55Andrew Santino?

  You're too hot to be lucky. Hot people don't get lucky, bro. Bam, bam, bam. Smile, do your smile right into the camera.

• 1:13:10Andrew Santino?

  I, no, I just think I can't, yeah, I can't pin it. I don't know what it is.

• 1:13:13Speaker 05

  So you were, you, you, you're familiar with the state. You know, you know those guys. Have you had anybody else from the state on the show?

• 1:13:22Andrew Santino?

  No, they were all refused. You were the only one.

• 1:13:24Speaker 05

  That's not true.

• 1:13:24Andrew Santino?

  No, no. No, I haven't. You know, also, um...

• 1:13:28Speaker 05

  I was intimidated to come on to the show.

• 1:13:30Andrew Santino?

  You're a liar, dude. Well, can I tell you something? This is one of the best episodes we've done in a long, long time.

• 1:13:35Speaker 05

  That's not true.

• 1:13:35Andrew Santino?

  It is. The chemistry is, the rhythm is great.

• 1:13:38Speaker 05

  Come on.

• 1:13:39Andrew Santino?

  Anytime I get with a, anytime I get with, um, someone with a, either a comedic sketch or improvisational background at all, it always feels like it's like, like we grew up together or something.

• 1:13:50Speaker 05

  That's my favorite, by the way, and I was, I don't know who I was talking to about this, but like, you know, you know how you have friends who you maybe haven't seen in a long time, but you connected with them and then you cross paths with them again and, and it's like, you saw them yesterday and you just start bantering and just joking around about stuff. That's my favorite type of, uh, uh, you know, connection and it's, it's wonderful to, you know, kind of meet you and talk to you because it's, it, it seems like you, uh, desire that as well, which is that sort of, just, you know, an easy conversation, you joke about stuff, you go in different directions, it doesn't matter where it goes, you come

• 1:14:32Speaker 05

  back to it, you know, it's, it's your show, so you know when to bring it back and it's, it's, uh, it's delightful. So, you know, but I was intimidated to come on your show because I didn't know you.

• 1:14:42Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:42Speaker 05

  I think you're very, uh, uh, smart and funny and very, uh, quick. And so I, I didn't want to, um, I guess let you down, but I didn't want to, I didn't want to embarrass, uh, your show or, or, uh, do something, um...

• 1:14:56Andrew Santino?

  Come on. No.

• 1:14:58Speaker 05

  So I appreciate it. And I think pumping, uh, whiskey into me probably was helpful, yeah.

• 1:15:03Andrew Santino?

  It always works. Every time.

• 1:15:04Speaker 05

  And also, and also made it a little sloppy for me.

• 1:15:07Andrew Santino?

  No, but it's good.

• 1:15:08Speaker 05

  Is it though?

• 1:15:09Andrew Santino?

  Well, are your kids gonna watch?

• 1:15:11Speaker 05

  Yeah. We didn't say anything too bad, did we?

• 1:15:15Speaker 05

  Do I get to say, hey, you know, take that out?

• 1:15:17Andrew Santino?

  No. Soft cut, soft cut to us saying a compilation of all the bad things that we said, please?

• 1:15:23Speaker 05

  Oh, no.

• 1:15:25Andrew Santino?

  No, you're right. It is a thing like my wife says to me all the time with friends. She goes, "If you met him today, would you still be friends with him?" She says that often about friends from, from, guys from home, you know? And I'm like, "Uh, is he a guy from home?" And she always says, "Would you be friends with him today, if you met him today?" And almost all of them, I'm like, "Yep." There's rarely a guy, unless I've kind of fallen out with them and we just go different paths in life.

• 1:15:46Speaker 05

  But do you, do you, I don't mean to interrupt.

• 1:15:48Andrew Santino?

  No, I'm going nowhere.

• 1:15:50Speaker 05

  Do you, do you reach out to those people that you have that connection with? Or do you just wait for them to sort of like, you know, kind of fall back into your life?

• 1:16:00Andrew Santino?

  A few of them I connect with very often. And then some of them, we kind of can, we kind of see each other or talk intermittently, but like, "Oh, my buddy Baldino's coming out here in a couple of weeks to stay at the house." And it's like, we often...

• 1:16:13Speaker 05

  But you think about them from time to time. Do you ever like reach out and just be like, "I'm just gonna hit them up with just something to let them know I'm thinking of them?" Or do you let it just happen?

• 1:16:21Andrew Santino?

  No, I lob them a call. I'm a big call guy. People don't like it. I'm in the car, I'm giving you a call.

• 1:16:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, I like a, a good conversation.

• 1:16:26Andrew Santino?

  I'm gonna give you a call.

• 1:16:27Speaker 05

  It's really fun.

• 1:16:28Andrew Santino?

  Especially if I'm like, "God, I got a pretty big drive ahead. I'll call Marino real fast." It'll be 35 minutes.

• 1:16:34Speaker 05

  Well, look, um, you know, I know we've just really sort of gotten to know each other a little bit more, um, in this, uh, um, meeting, but, um, you know, if you're ever on a long drive and you want to call, I'm here for you. I like a good, I like a good conversation.

• 1:16:51Andrew Santino?

  You say that.

• 1:16:52Speaker 05

  I don't like, and also like a good message.

• 1:16:55Andrew Santino?

  A voice message or a text?

• 1:16:56Speaker 05

  No, not text fucking message. I like a voice message.

• 1:17:00Andrew Santino?

  Ken, hey, man.

• 1:17:03Speaker 05

  The longer it is, the better. The more meandering it is, the better. I would call, I called Joe LaTruglio, uh, you know, a number of times throughout the years and I just start, I just laugh for a while, like for a good like four or five minutes, you know, and, and ride the waves of wherever that takes me. Um, and it's some of my favorite things to do, you know, some...

• 1:17:22Andrew Santino?

  My favorite and buddy, buddy, you know, you can leave FaceTime videos, uh, recorded videos. He, he made it, it was very deliberate, it was very smart. He looked like he didn't know that the FaceTime was rolling. And so he put the FaceTime down and he's like talking, driving and talking to traffic.

• 1:17:40Speaker 05

  I'm gonna steal that. Oh, I'm definitely gonna steal that.

• 1:17:42Andrew Santino?

  He's like, "Oh, fuck you!" And the face, the phone's looking up, like he has no idea it's still there.

• 1:17:47Speaker 05

  That's great because, because of course the person's gonna watch and be like, "Oh, what are they gonna say next?" And then like, like three minutes into it, you'd be like, "Hey, man."

• 1:17:55Andrew Santino?

  He picked it up, he goes, "Fuck you, bye." And I was like, "Oh."

• 1:17:58Speaker 05

  That's so good.

• 1:17:59Andrew Santino?

  I'm thinking I'm gonna catch him in the middle. I'm like, "Oh, what is he doing? Is he..."

• 1:18:02Speaker 05

  That's great.

• 1:18:04Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I know. But he got me, this motherfucker. I watched the whole thing. It was probably three minutes. I'm maybe like, "You fuck." I'm staring going, "Where's he gone? Where's he headed?"

• 1:18:12Speaker 05

  My shit, what's he gonna say?

• 1:18:14Andrew Santino?

  I'm trying to figure out, yeah. What's he gonna say if he gets cut off? I'm excited to watch that. I'm gonna call you though. I promise I'm gonna call you.

• 1:18:21Speaker 05

  Great, great. And if you'd like a phone call, I'll give you a call.

• 1:18:24Andrew Santino?

  I do love a phone call. I say that all the time.

• 1:18:26Speaker 05

  Wouldn't it be great if you were like, "No, that's all right."

• 1:18:27Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. I'd rather you not.

• 1:18:30Speaker 05

  No, thanks, man. This is, this is my talk show. This is my podcast. It's...

• 1:18:34Andrew Santino?

  Who do you, who do you, who do you call when you're, when you're in need of like a big pump up? Whether it's like a laugh or like a, just like a good, change your mood?

• 1:18:43Speaker 05

  Again, I, I'm very lucky to have that whole state group, right? So like, you know, I mean, you call Tom Lennon, he'll do, you know, five minutes of new material, you know, like, uh, you call Joe LaTruglio and he'll go wherever you're going and support whatever bit you're doing. Um, you know, uh, David, Craig Wedren, who I talked about, my buddy, Sam Calagione is a delight to call.

• 1:19:08Andrew Santino?

  Are these, are these weekly calls or is this like once in a great while?

• 1:19:12Speaker 05

  It depends, you know? I mean, it really, you know, like sometimes you want to talk to people. Sometimes you're feeling, I don't know, is it lonely? You just want, you want a connection, right?

• 1:19:21Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:19:22Speaker 05

  And so, I, I will say this, a lot of times I will, uh, when on a long drive, go down the list, you know, of like the people I just want to like make sure that they know I'm thinking about them.

• 1:19:35Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:19:35Speaker 05

  Right? And so I'll like, you know, do four, five, six of them. You know what I mean?

• 1:19:41Andrew Santino?

  This is a bit though, in my mind, of like you going through the missed calls and you're like, "Not him." I'm like going through the names in your missed call log and you're like, "I'm not gonna, I don't wanna call that guy."

• 1:19:53Speaker 05

  I don't wanna listen to it. Delete. No, uh, uh, no, it's, you know, it's, it's, uh, so it's, it, it, it varies, you know? Sometimes when you're feeling like you need to connect.

• 1:20:02Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:02Speaker 05

  Because I, I ask this, I'm curious what you think about this. And maybe this is a dumb question, but why do you think we, uh, uh, learn to, uh, speak?

• 1:20:13Andrew Santino?

  Too many, you mean beyond non-verbal communication? What do we need to talk?

• 1:20:17Speaker 05

  At a certain point, we were like grunting, right? And then we learned a language.

• 1:20:20Andrew Santino?

  I'd love to go back to grunting.

• 1:20:22Speaker 05

  It would be great, but we can't. So why did we learn?

• 1:20:24Andrew Santino?

  Can't we?

• 1:20:25Speaker 05

  Well, I guess.

• 1:20:29Andrew Santino?

  Why do we, I think because, uh, because the noises couldn't really express how we feel and language expressed how we felt.

• 1:20:36Speaker 05

  Okay, so express how we felt. Why?

• 1:20:40Andrew Santino?

  Because we're the only species that needs to have a deeper connection other than food and mating.

• 1:20:48Speaker 05

  With other people?

• 1:20:50Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:50Speaker 05

  So to let us know we're not alone?

• 1:20:52Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, so we don't, so we don't feel like we might die soon. I feel like if you're just alone, you die. Unless you're on the show alone on HBO, which is great, and they do survive for a long time.

• 1:21:01Speaker 05

  They just survive and then at a certain point they're like, "I can't take it anymore. Get me off this island."

• 1:21:06Speaker 05

  My foot is bloating up. I don't know what's going on. I need to get out of here.

• 1:21:09Andrew Santino?

  Why do you think? You think it's just because of that, right? Because we need to...

• 1:21:11Speaker 05

  We need connection. We need to, we need to know that we're not alone. I think that's what I think it is.

• 1:21:15Andrew Santino?

  Even if we are with millions of people, you're like, "I feel really lonely."

• 1:21:19Speaker 05

  You feel lonely.

• 1:21:19Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's crazy.

• 1:21:20Speaker 05

  Because it, because that's just more like, I don't, you know, most people walking by you are just props, right? They're not, they're bodies, they're moving...

• 1:21:27Andrew Santino?

  Background.

• 1:21:28Speaker 05

  They're background. They're trees. They're, they're, it's just a living thing that you have no connection with.

• 1:21:32Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:32Speaker 05

  Right? So to then, you know, reach out to the people who have touched you in the past or just people that, you know, you have, you know, uh, warm feelings for, to, to, to hear their voice and to hear their thoughts makes you, uh, know that you're not alone. And that's important, right?

• 1:21:50Andrew Santino?

  That's huge. Yeah.

• 1:21:52Speaker 05

  You know, like, and, and so, so, you know, friendships with people and, and, um, long-term friendships are, uh, super, super important.

• 1:22:00Andrew Santino?

  Well, you made a new friend today.

• 1:22:02Speaker 05

  Well, I know you're being corny, but I hope that's true.

• 1:22:04Andrew Santino?

  I'm being genuine.

• 1:22:05Speaker 05

  Ah, you were, but that's, that's okay.

• 1:22:07Andrew Santino?

  Stop, stop, I'm being genuine. I just, how about this? I'll be, I'll be vulnerable. I just made a new friend and we both admitted to each other that we were like, you know, we're both men, grown men. He's got family, kids, you know, and I, and I was like, uh, it's kind of cool that we can admit we're like new friends. He was like, "Isn't that kind of a fucking relief?"

• 1:22:23Speaker 05

  It's nice, it's nice.

• 1:22:24Andrew Santino?

  I went to, I flew to San Francisco to see the guy.

• 1:22:26Speaker 05

  Wait, so wait, I thought you were talking about us, but now who are you talking about?

• 1:22:29Andrew Santino?

  No, I said I made a new friend.

• 1:22:30Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:30Andrew Santino?

  And we admitted to each other.

• 1:22:32Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:32Andrew Santino?

  And I was like, eh, it is cool to admit it. That's why I said to you, I'm being joint, I'm not being coy, I'm admitting to you, vulnerable, new friend.

• 1:22:42Speaker 05

  I'm, I, I'm accepting it.

• 1:22:44Andrew Santino?

  Okay.

• 1:22:44Speaker 05

  I'm absorbing it. I'm taking it in. I'm happy to hear it and the feeling is mutual.

• 1:22:50Andrew Santino?

  I told you. You owe me a hundred bucks.

• 1:22:52Speaker 05

  Wait, you bet against me? You son of a bitch. Hola!

• 1:22:58Andrew Santino?

  No, dude.

• 1:22:59Speaker 05

  I mean, damn it! I mean, damn you!

• 1:23:01Andrew Santino?

  No, I think it's hard to make new friends as grown men. For some reason, we do this and we're like...

• 1:23:06Speaker 05

  Well, that's the thing. What is that?

• 1:23:07Andrew Santino?

  I don't know, because we're just preoccupied.

• 1:23:08Speaker 05

  But there's a whole thing of like, men can't be friends with each other. And like, it's like, what is...

• 1:23:13Andrew Santino?

  I think after a certain age, too, people have families and kids. And so you go, ah, you know, I'm a childless goon. You know, my wife and I, it's just us. So it is often, I meet people and I go, ah, he's got a fucking family, he's busy, he's got kids. He's got, you know, we...

• 1:23:26Speaker 05

  Do you like eating? Do you like food? You like going out to restaurants?

• 1:23:29Andrew Santino?

  Not anymore. Yeah, I haven't eaten in years.

• 1:23:32Speaker 05

  You haven't eaten in years? You look great!

• 1:23:35Andrew Santino?

  Thank you.

• 1:23:36Speaker 05

  Um, no, do you like going out? Like, do you like, if I called you and said, hey, last minute, and been like, I'm gonna go, I'm going to Korean barbecue with a couple of friends. You wanna come?

• 1:23:46Andrew Santino?

  Choosan Gobbe, I'll be there in 20 seconds.

• 1:23:48Speaker 05

  Oh, baby.

• 1:23:49Andrew Santino?

  Meet me there.

• 1:23:49Speaker 05

  Alright, we're gonna, we're gonna exchange...

• 1:23:51Andrew Santino?

  Because you know, my best friend is Korean. And that's the one thing that we do the best, is Korean barbecue. So I'll take you to some secret spots if you're big into Korean barbecue.

• 1:23:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:23:59Andrew Santino?

  I'll take you to the ones where you have to speak Korean to get in.

• 1:24:01Speaker 05

  Great.

• 1:24:02Andrew Santino?

  And I have to show them my phone. I make him type it in my phone, what we're supposed to know.

• 1:24:06Speaker 05

  Love it.

• 1:24:06Andrew Santino?

  And I show it to them, and they go, "This way."

• 1:24:08Speaker 05

  Great.

• 1:24:09Andrew Santino?

  And they show us the way.

• 1:24:10Speaker 05

  Let's go.

• 1:24:11Andrew Santino?

  I'm dead serious. I've done it where I'm like, you know I'm friends with Bobby, right? And they're like, "Yeah, we know who you are." It's, come on.

• 1:24:17Speaker 05

  Let's go.

• 1:24:18Andrew Santino?

  Okay, good.

• 1:24:18Speaker 05

  Oh, my God.

• 1:24:19Andrew Santino?

  We're gonna do it.

• 1:24:20Speaker 05

  I'm down, I'm 100% down.

• 1:24:22Andrew Santino?

  If you guys see both of our marriages broken up because we're both in love with each other, that's what happened today on the show. Uh, before I let you go, I know, I don't want to peel off too much of your time, but, um, uh, blossoming of a new friendship. I appreciate you coming on the show. Um, please go see the movie right now.

  Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass.

• 1:24:42Andrew Santino?

  It's out now!

• 1:24:44Speaker 05

  It's out now, and if this comes out when I think it comes out, yeah, enough people are going to see The Odyssey. Don't worry about it. The Odyssey will be fine. You know what I mean?

• 1:24:55Andrew Santino?

  I don't think it's gonna be, I don't think it's gonna be that good.

• 1:24:57Speaker 05

  You don't?

• 1:24:58Andrew Santino?

  I don't! Two did it.

• 1:25:01Speaker 05

  It's a very old story.

• 1:25:03Andrew Santino?

  It's been around for a long time. Uh, please go see that right now. I appreciate you dearly, this meant a lot to me. Uh, you look into that camera. And you say one word or one phrase to end the episode. That's what we do, we say a word or a phrase to wrap it up. Doesn't have to be anything profound, it could be. It could be a word of wisdom, it could be a word that means nothing. But will you do me a favor? We've never done this. Will you turn? Give a face look, and then say the word or phrase.

• 1:25:30Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:25:30Andrew Santino?

  Okay.

• 1:25:34Speaker 05

  Oh, shit, he's flipping me off.

• 1:25:40Speaker 05

  No sudden movements. In here, we pour whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey.

• 1:25:48Speaker 01

  Whoa, that creature in the ginger beard!

• 1:25:51Speaker 03

  Sturdy and ginger. Like peppers, the ginger gene is a curse. Gingers are beautiful. You owe me $5 for the whiskey, and $75 for the horse.

• 1:26:00Speaker 04

  Gingers, oh, hell no. This whiskey is excellent.

• 1:26:04Speaker 02

  Ginger, I like gingers.
