  In here, we pour whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey.

• 0:35Speaker 02

  You're that creature in the ginger beard. Sturdy and ginger.

• 0:39Speaker 03

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

• 0:47Speaker 02

  Gingers, oh hell no. The whiskey is excellent. Ginger, I like gingers.

• 0:54Speaker 04

  How do I look right now? Do I look, uh, six months pregnant?

• 0:58Andrew Santino?

  And don't say anything perverted. Are you six months pregnant?

• 1:00Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:01Andrew Santino?

  Whoa.

• 1:02Speaker 04

  No, are you looking, I'm done.

• 1:03Andrew Santino?

  I would love that so much. You're never gonna do it again?

• 1:05Speaker 04

  No, I'm done.

• 1:05Andrew Santino?

  Alright, let's talk about it. Is she good? Be honest, if she looks like shit, say it.

• 1:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, say it.

• 1:10Speaker 05

  No, last time I saw her, she was pregnant, but now she's not. So she doesn't look pregnant.

• 1:14Andrew Santino?

  Did you meet this guy?

• 1:15Speaker 04

  So I look way better.

• 1:16Speaker 05

  Yeah, at the comedy show.

• 1:16Andrew Santino?

  Hey Joe.

• 1:17Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love those pictures.

• 1:21Andrew Santino?

  Uh, well, oh, that's right.

• 1:22Speaker 04

  Somebody was being real shitty about those pictures on Reddit.

• 1:24Andrew Santino?

  Really?

• 1:25Speaker 04

  Well, actually, they weren't being shitty. They just said I looked different, but I knew what the fuck they meant.

• 1:30Andrew Santino?

  What did that mean?

• 1:31Speaker 04

  They were like, "She looks really different pregnant." I was like, "Just say fat."

• 1:35Andrew Santino?

  You didn't, you didn't get fat?

• 1:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, I did.

• 1:38Andrew Santino?

  When you were pregnant?

• 1:39Speaker 04

  Yeah. I gained 70 pounds.

• 1:41Andrew Santino?

  I saw you, you didn't look, I mean, look, you look very, uh, thin now.

• 1:46Speaker 04

  It wasn't a pretty picture. Some women are gorgeous pregnant. I was not one of them.

• 1:50Andrew Santino?

  Can I say it?

• 1:50Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:51Andrew Santino?

  You were hideous.

• 1:52Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:53Andrew Santino?

  I was.

• 1:54Speaker 04

  It was bad.

• 1:54Andrew Santino?

  I grossed me out.

• 1:55Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:56Andrew Santino?

  I actually called Andy and I was like, "Do you need to come stay at my place for a while?"

• 1:59Speaker 04

  And he was like, "No, she refuses to fuck me anyway."

• 2:05Andrew Santino?

  He's like, "This is, uh, this is just what it is."

• 2:07Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 2:09Andrew Santino?

  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Diner. My guest today is one of my favorite people on this show for all guests wanting to meet him once again today. It's Rosebud Baker.

• 2:14Speaker 04

  I liked that.

• 2:17Speaker 04

  I got the prescription drug, uh, thing.

• 2:21Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, there was the Micro Machines guy.

• 2:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 2:23Andrew Santino?

  Rosie, one of my, um, oldest friends in comedy, someone, uh, who moved to New York to start a wonderful, beautiful, great life, um, and a successful career, and it's literally all worked out.

• 2:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:35Andrew Santino?

  It really has.

• 2:36Speaker 04

  For now.

• 2:37Andrew Santino?

  The business got better for you. You had a fucking baby. Your baby now, your baby now vapes, you told me before the show, which is kinda nice.

• 2:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, she's a, she's a full-time vapor.

• 2:47Andrew Santino?

  What's her favorite flavor, do you think?

• 2:49Speaker 04

  Uh, I would say, she likes, you know, the, the ones for kids.

• 2:53Andrew Santino?

  So, all of them?

• 2:53Speaker 04

  Strawberry, whatever.

• 2:55Andrew Santino?

  Mint?

• 2:55Speaker 04

  Let me turn this fucking shit off. Uh, yeah, she's into like, you know, strawberry, banana, um, children's Motrin, that's a flavor she's into.

• 3:04Andrew Santino?

  Good.

• 3:05Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:05Andrew Santino?

  That is good.

• 3:06Speaker 04

  Yeah, infant's Tylenol.

• 3:07Andrew Santino?

  We do have to get you off of it.

• 3:09Speaker 04

  Yeah, I know, it's really bad. You know what it is, is I, I had the baby and I immediately was like, "I need something that is just mine, and I need, I need like a vice." You know, like, I, I don't drink.

• 3:21Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 3:21Speaker 04

  So it's not like I quit drinking and then like got to go back to drinking.

• 3:25Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 3:26Speaker 04

  I, all I had was my vape.

• 3:28Andrew Santino?

  And you never smoked, though?

• 3:29Speaker 04

  No, I, I smoked. You mean cigarettes?

• 3:32Andrew Santino?

  No, like weed.

• 3:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, I smoked weed.

• 3:34Andrew Santino?

  You did?

• 3:34Speaker 04

  I did everything. Yeah, I had to, I had to get sober.

• 3:37Andrew Santino?

  Oh, I thought it was just boozy.

• 3:38Speaker 04

  No, no, no, it was whatever.

• 3:39Andrew Santino?

  Cause those pictures I have on my phone.

• 3:41Speaker 04

  Whatever was around.

• 3:41Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, whoever had anything.

• 3:43Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 3:43Andrew Santino?

  But the cigarettes, though, no cigarettes?

• 3:46Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:46Andrew Santino?

  Still?

• 3:47Speaker 04

  I still don't smoke cigarettes.

• 3:48Andrew Santino?

  You don't sneak them or anything?

• 3:49Speaker 04

  No, I literally, I don't, I'm not into them anymore. I'm into like, I like the vape. Even though it's a fucking, like, a loser thing to do, I really like it.

• 3:58Andrew Santino?

  It's not loser, I just think it, for me...

• 4:01Speaker 04

  It is a loser thing to do as a mother, for sure.

• 4:04Andrew Santino?

  You think it, well, when you're with the kid, when you're not with the kid, it doesn't matter.

• 4:07Speaker 04

  Yeah, I don't do it when I'm with her.

• 4:08Andrew Santino?

  Well, then it's fine.

• 4:09Speaker 04

  I just do the nicotine gum, like, constantly, though.

• 4:12Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, well, I'm not one to talk, I mean, I do the pouches and all this, I mean, look, I like it too.

• 4:16Speaker 04

  You zen?

• 4:17Andrew Santino?

  I'll take anything.

• 4:18Speaker 04

  Yeah?

• 4:19Andrew Santino?

  I'll take what we have available, I'm like you with, with drugs.

• 4:22Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 4:22Andrew Santino?

  I just will take whatever is available, what we can buy, whatever city I go to, if that's whatever they have.

• 4:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 4:27Andrew Santino?

  It's, it's, it's not great, I'm not gonna lie, it's not great.

• 4:30Speaker 04

  You feel like I'm suffering in a pretty big way?

• 4:32Andrew Santino?

  Well, it's stupid, it's pretty dumb, it's dumb, and also, like, I feel dumb doing it, but I like it a lot, and I enjoy, I really, really love it in the morning.

• 4:40Speaker 04

  I think it's fine, if you have a thing that you enjoy, and it's not, like, ruining your life.

• 4:47Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 4:47Speaker 04

  I think it's okay.

• 4:49Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, no, it's fine, for now, my point is, we don't know, that's the best...

• 4:51Speaker 04

  You know, if it's heroin, or fentanyl, or something, you know, I, that's harder to dabble in.

• 4:56Andrew Santino?

  I don't know, you could be a fent, you could be somebody who, like, touches fent every once in a while.

• 4:59Speaker 04

  You think so?

• 5:00Andrew Santino?

  I think it's changing, I think times are changing.

• 5:02Speaker 04

  Have you had fentanyl?

• 5:04Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 5:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, you, it's not, it's fucking...

• 5:07Andrew Santino?

  It's rad?

• 5:08Speaker 04

  Yeah. It's fucking awesome.

• 5:11Andrew Santino?

  It'll change your life, dude.

• 5:12Speaker 04

  It'll change, I think about it literally as often as I think about my daughter.

• 5:16Andrew Santino?

  Really?

• 5:17Speaker 04

  And I've had it once.

• 5:18Andrew Santino?

  And it was that good?

• 5:19Speaker 04

  Fucking unreal.

• 5:21Andrew Santino?

  Did you nod off?

• 5:23Speaker 04

  I mean, I was, yeah, because it was, uh, it was IVF, I got it during the IVF thing.

• 5:28Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah.

• 5:28Speaker 04

  And I remember going in and being like, listen, I'm, I'm a, I'm an addict, and I'm an alcoholic, so like, even if I ask for fentanyl, just don't give it to me. And then, right before the procedure, I was like, you know what, I, I think I should get the fent, I'm, I'm a little nervous, we should get the fentanyl, and they were like, okay. And it was like, the second Andy was out of the room, I asked for fentanyl, and woke up and was like, can I get some more? I need some more.

• 5:47Andrew Santino?

  I'm getting another IVF.

• 5:48Speaker 04

  It was, yeah, I was like, it's too another round.

• 5:50Andrew Santino?

  We just did it, they're like, we're gonna go back to back, I feel like back to back is how they work the best.

• 5:54Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's probably safest, you know, so I, I really...

• 5:57Andrew Santino?

  So you have a fent baby?

• 5:59Speaker 04

  Hmm, no, because I ended up... Cause we did IVF and then I fucking

• 6:03Andrew Santino?

  That's right, right, that's right.

• 6:05Speaker 04

  I, I think the drugs were still kinda coursing through my system.

• 6:08Andrew Santino?

  The perils of, of trying to be, all you want is to become a parent. And all you saw is people who didn't deserve to be parents having babies.

• 6:16Speaker 04

  Oh my god, yeah.

• 6:17Andrew Santino?

  Isn't that amazing?

• 6:18Speaker 04

  Just fucking disgusting people. Just sitting on a park bench and standing up pregnant.

• 6:25Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 6:26Speaker 04

  You're like, what the fuck?

• 6:27Andrew Santino?

  Fuck that, that person?

• 6:28Speaker 04

  Why? Yeah. Oh god, it would drive me crazy. It would drive me crazy.

• 6:32Andrew Santino?

  We talked about it. It's one of those things where you see it and you go. Well, there is not a god and, and that's, and that's okay. It just, it's kinda like, fine, I guess.

• 6:43Speaker 04

  I mean, if there is, he's an asshole.

• 6:45Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, he's a fucker.

• 6:46Speaker 04

  You know?

• 6:46Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 6:47Speaker 04

  He's got a fucked up sense of humor, I'll give him that.

• 6:49Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, like we just did, I just did a call for, um, the will, of living will with my wife, like when you die, who gets your money? We did this fucking game.

• 6:58Speaker 04

  That's fun.

• 6:59Andrew Santino?

  It's so gross, it's so gross.

• 7:01Speaker 04

  You guys should do that like right before you go to bed at night.

• 7:03Andrew Santino?

  We did, yeah, um, yeah, we do it in the morning. We do it every day, actually. That's how we start the day. We just, but the woman on the phone, the lawyer is like. It just sounds so dismal and it's gross and it's like, and if they die, then what? And you're like, well dude, I hope they don't, when, okay, I don't know. And then my cousin, then it's like, and if he dies tragically, you're like, Jesus dude. Give it away, throw it, burn it, burn it, light it on fire.

• 7:24Speaker 04

  It's like the world's worst game of Jeopardy.

• 7:27Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 7:29Andrew Santino?

  Show me destruction.

• 7:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 7:31Andrew Santino?

  No, but they, we, so then, but one of the points was, I wanted whatever money, it didn't go to like my mom or my sister or my dad or whatever.

• 7:39Speaker 04

  Right.

• 7:39Andrew Santino?

  To go to children's hospital. And the lawyer was like, oh, that's, that's really cool. I was like, yeah, I think that's where it should go because.

• 7:47Speaker 04

  Why is this, I'm sorry.

• 7:48Andrew Santino?

  I'm doing that. I sent you a text in my mind. No, but I was like, because kids getting sick is not real to me. It's like, that's the fucking grossest shit.

• 7:58Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 7:58Andrew Santino?

  Going back to what we just said, I was like, if that's fucking.

• 8:01Speaker 04

  That's really sweet though. I think you, you know, it's, you're, you're an asshole, but I think deep down, you're, you're a real sweetie pie.

• 8:08Andrew Santino?

  Some of it is. I just think kids with cancer is fucking bullshit. I think adults with cancer, don't care.

• 8:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 8:13Andrew Santino?

  You're fuck, who cares?

• 8:14Speaker 04

  I mean.

• 8:15Andrew Santino?

  You got a shot.

• 8:16Speaker 04

  If you don't have cancer, you're kind of an asshole.

• 8:19Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you're an asshole.

• 8:20Speaker 04

  You know?

• 8:21Andrew Santino?

  Get cancer nerd.

• 8:22Speaker 04

  Everybody's got it.

• 8:23Andrew Santino?

  Fucking nerd.

• 8:24Speaker 04

  Or they're on their way.

• 8:25Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 8:25Speaker 04

  Right?

• 8:26Andrew Santino?

  It's happening.

• 8:26Speaker 04

  It's sort of the natural progression of life at this point.

• 8:29Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 8:29Speaker 04

  To just sort of pick up a cancer along the way.

• 8:31Andrew Santino?

  That's why we do what we do with substances because I don't want to get in cancer's way of grow- of growing and continuing to grow.

• 8:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, I don't want to stand in the way of any cancer.

• 8:38Andrew Santino?

  Uh-uh, no.

• 8:39Speaker 04

  I want cancer to live to its fullest, highest potential.

• 8:42Andrew Santino?

  Cancer begins at inception, oh, ingestion, sorry, cancer begins at ingestion. Cancer begins at ingestion and I'm gonna keep it that way. I'm gonna let it grow inside of me.

• 8:50Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 8:50Andrew Santino?

  No, but so I said to the woman, she said something very, she was like, "Oh, unfortunately, like, we've had to spend some time there, and so it's a great place," and I, you know, my heart broke for her. But I think a lot of that stems from the fact that we didn't have kids, we couldn't have kids, so I was like, "Well dude, people that do have kids and they get sick, fucking give them all my money. Give them all of my money."

• 9:07Speaker 04

  Right.

• 9:08Andrew Santino?

  All the money.

• 9:09Speaker 04

  Right.

• 9:09Andrew Santino?

  But again, I do want to make clear, if you're an adult and you get cancer, fuck you.

• 9:14Speaker 04

  For sure.

• 9:14Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, fuck you.

• 9:15Speaker 04

  For sure.

• 9:15Andrew Santino?

  Get out of here.

• 9:16Speaker 04

  And if you don't get it, also fuck you.

• 9:17Andrew Santino?

  Loser, fuck you.

• 9:20Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, so I get, so we get, we decided to give it all to Children's Hospital.

• 9:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's good.

• 9:24Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, why the fuck not?

• 9:25Speaker 04

  That's actually, I might just copy that.

• 9:27Andrew Santino?

  And what are you gonna do with, the idea also that you're supposed to like, have some sort of control over whatever you left over when you're dead, it's like, who the fuck cares?

• 9:35Speaker 04

  I know, I feel kinda like, it's just sort of, I would love in some really dark lizard part of my brain to just kind of watch from the heavens as my family fights over my money.

• 9:47Andrew Santino?

  Oh, that's sexy.

• 9:48Speaker 04

  That's kind of a fun.

• 9:49Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that is fun.

• 9:50Speaker 04

  You know what I mean?

• 9:51Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, but your daughter's gonna get it.

• 9:52Speaker 04

  I mean, why not play God if you're up there?

• 9:53Andrew Santino?

  Right, right. But your daughter's gonna get all your money.

• 9:56Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 9:56Andrew Santino?

  And then in the, in the event that she marries a fucking loser that you hate, you can control that too.

• 10:03Speaker 04

  I love that.

• 10:05Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 10:05Speaker 04

  I love that for myself. I really do, you know, because I have a feeling she's gonna out-earn whoever she ends up with, just sort of like the way that the society is going.

• 10:16Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 10:16Speaker 04

  I feel like it's kind of gonna end up being that women are the breadwinners.

• 10:20Andrew Santino?

  Yep. Finger crossed. I'm fucking praying.

• 10:23Speaker 04

  You guys deserve a couple of years on the couch, you know what I mean?

• 10:26Andrew Santino?

  Thank you.

• 10:26Speaker 04

  You've done a lot.

• 10:27Andrew Santino?

  Honestly, thank you. Well, look, I mean, you know, or, or...

• 10:33Speaker 04

  Or, we won't vote anymore.

• 10:35Andrew Santino?

  Right, that's what I was kind of hoping for.

• 10:36Speaker 04

  Sort of the other option.

• 10:37Andrew Santino?

  Or we go back to the way it was when it was fucking legit, when you guys couldn't say shit, dude.

• 10:41Speaker 04

  I was like seeing this shit that like, right before Biden left, he put like a women's suffrage monument in Washington.

• 10:48Andrew Santino?

  Oh, really?

• 10:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, and I was like, or like, signed off on it.

• 10:51Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 10:51Speaker 04

  And I was thinking to myself, I was like, that's, that's gonna be fun to go look at when we're like, ah, it's, we didn't have a lot, but we could vote. You know what I mean? It's gonna be nice to remember those days.

• 11:04Andrew Santino?

  What is it, a picture? It's just a statue of a woman voting?

• 11:06Speaker 04

  I don't, I actually don't know.

• 11:07Andrew Santino?

  Look it up, look up the suffrage. By the way, you know what it is.

• 11:09Speaker 04

  He may have just signed off on plans.

• 11:10Andrew Santino?

  I was just gonna say, he signed something to exist that will never happen.

• 11:14Speaker 04

  Exactly.

• 11:14Andrew Santino?

  It just made, it made him look good for the moment. Someone's like, what do you think about this? He's like, is it ever gonna get built? They're like, no. He's like, ah, fuck it.

• 11:20Speaker 04

  Ah, fine, you know what I mean? It's funny, it's like, Biden did do a lot of shit, but it was so unsexy, you know? So then at the end, he tried to get a little like show pony-ish. It just doesn't work for him.

• 11:32Andrew Santino?

  Can't do that, dude.

• 11:33Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 11:34Andrew Santino?

  Don't try to be, you can't try to be the other side of it.

• 11:37Speaker 04

  Did you hear, he said that he regretted that he didn't sign those checks, like with his name, like Trump did.

• 11:44Andrew Santino?

  Really?

• 11:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 11:46Andrew Santino?

  I mean...

• 11:46Speaker 04

  He's like, I should have signed the check, which is so fucking sad. It just made me sad, man.

• 11:50Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's really sad. But what else does he have left? You know what I mean? He does feel, he knows it's over.

• 11:54Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 11:55Andrew Santino?

  Both life and your political...

• 11:57Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 11:57Andrew Santino?

  Term. It's like, you're done, so, yeah, dude, that's dark.

• 12:01Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 12:01Andrew Santino?

  What does he do now?

• 12:02Speaker 04

  He's the only person, I think, in America who's free.

• 12:08Andrew Santino?

  He's, yeah, it's him.

• 12:09Speaker 04

  He just gets to walk into the woods.

• 12:13Speaker 04

  And die.

• 12:13Andrew Santino?

  Like an animal when they go to die?

• 12:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 12:15Andrew Santino?

  Just by himself quietly?

• 12:16Speaker 04

  Yeah. I mean, I'm truly envious.

• 12:19Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, he's gonna get to do it. He's gonna get to do it.

• 12:22Speaker 04

  He's gonna be like walking off the end of the baseball field and fucking-

• 12:25Andrew Santino?

  Field of dreams?

• 12:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 12:27Andrew Santino?

  Into the corn?

• 12:28Speaker 04

  He just sort of disappears.

• 12:30Andrew Santino?

  To watch Biden just disappear into the corn is so fucking funny.

• 12:33Speaker 04

  That's really what it felt like.

• 12:35Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, kind of.

• 12:35Speaker 04

  You know, I was like, it's kind of funny because it feels like America just like broke up with a nice guy. That's what it feels like to break up with a nice guy.

• 12:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. The guy, they want to fuck the guy who's got a bike, dude.

• 12:46Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 12:47Andrew Santino?

  You wanna get on, dude?

• 12:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, I was reading a fucking headline, I took a picture of it on the way here, I took, this is fucking, the way that the New York Times is writing about Trump is, they're fucking horned up. They're horned up, they're like-

• 13:03Andrew Santino?

  They got material coming.

• 13:04Speaker 04

  They wrote, "Trump asserts a muscular vision of presidential power." I'm like, a muscular vision, just a rock hard, veiny vision of presidential power? It's crazy to me, I was like, this is, they're fucking stoked.

• 13:18Andrew Santino?

  Hillstroke to that.

• 13:20Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 13:20Andrew Santino?

  The hillstroke to that for sure.

• 13:22Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 13:22Andrew Santino?

  Wow, that does sound celebratory.

• 13:24Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 13:25Andrew Santino?

  That's really unlike them.

• 13:27Speaker 04

  I don't think so, I think they're, I mean, it's not like they ever wrote about Biden in a way that was like, yeah, he's really muscular.

• 13:34Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, they never, no, you're right, yeah.

• 13:36Speaker 04

  I know that the whole like, thing is, oh, Trump fucking hates the media and the media hates Trump. But if you watch them, they're really fucking creaming themselves.

• 13:47Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, well, because they're getting something now.

• 13:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 13:49Andrew Santino?

  This is, look-

• 13:51Speaker 04

  They were sober for like four years.

• 13:53Andrew Santino?

  They had to, they had to dry out, now they're like, we gotta go back.

• 13:55Speaker 04

  They're just fucking shooting meth.

• 13:57Andrew Santino?

  They're like, I gotta get fucked up again, dude. He is, it is, he is so polarizing that for the next four years, they're gonna get so much fucking more material. And I do know that they know, this is all money, baby.

• 14:08Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 14:09Andrew Santino?

  They're getting fucking papered up, the more shit that they can print, the more bullshit they can run with and make new stories out of, it's, that's money.

• 14:17Speaker 04

  No, they're, they're fucking stoked, and I, I get it, I mean, I kinda like, even in that first week, I was kinda like, this is fucking, this is kind of exciting again, you know, it's like, like when Trump left, it was like watching the shitty, it's like the writers quit or something, you know what I mean? And now it's like, oh, we're back. Like it's, it's a fucking story now.

• 14:37Andrew Santino?

  It is gonna be a big deal.

• 14:39Speaker 04

  Even the things that are not a story are gonna be a story.

• 14:41Andrew Santino?

  Of cou- well, that, I would argue it's more that than the other. It would be, everything that like, isn't really that real or big, will be inflated because it, you can now.

• 14:50Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 14:51Andrew Santino?

  And everyone will be, get excited about it, you know?

• 14:53Speaker 04

  Yeah. I mean, do you think they are, I, I sort of get like, I think people are either like, stoked, maybe like this week, they're excited, but I don't know. Overall, I kind of feel like maybe people are bored with the whole thing.

• 15:06Andrew Santino?

  I think the country, I think even the people that voted for Trump, don't care. I don't think anybody cares anymore.

• 15:11Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 15:12Andrew Santino?

  I think everyone's just bummed the fuck out that the world is like, confusing and sad and upside down and everyone's like,

• 15:17Speaker 04

  Right.

• 15:17Andrew Santino?

  I don't know, man, fuck it. Like, I think there's a false-

• 15:19Speaker 04

  It's definitely one or the other.

• 15:20Andrew Santino?

  I think there's a fake narrative online that like, people are very excited, and, uh, and I don't think that's true. I don't, I think America's just trying to figure itself out. They're like, what's going on? What are we, uh?

• 15:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 15:30Andrew Santino?

  What are we doing? How are we doing? What are we doing in it? Yeah, the first ti- the first time was more like, whoa!

• 15:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 15:35Andrew Santino?

  And now everyone's just like, whatever, man, I don't fucking-

• 15:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 15:38Andrew Santino?

  It is what it is. I mean, we traveled the whole time and we saw, it was funny going from Ann Arbor, no, Grand Rapids to Detroit. And it was, it was wild to watch of like, this neighborhood's like, all Trump-flecked and this one was all, um, Kamala, and then, and then back to Trump. It was so weird to watch. You physically were like, oh, it's, it's, it's, it's so all over the place. I think, like anything, you win the championship and they say you celebrate for five minutes.

• 16:06Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 16:06Andrew Santino?

  And then when it's over, you're like, oh, whatever. I guess that's-

• 16:10Speaker 04

  Do you guys talk, you, you don't talk at all about po- I'm, I'm wondering, cause I, honestly, I shot the special and went back to work and I haven't been on the road since.

• 16:18Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 16:19Speaker 04

  So, I don't have any sense of like, what the vibe is, out there.

• 16:24Andrew Santino?

  I don't have, I don't do a lot of political bullshit. I mean, I take a couple of fun jabs just for fun.

• 16:29Speaker 04

  Yeah, you'll make like, commentary about it.

• 16:31Andrew Santino?

  But it's, for me, it's more like-

• 16:33Speaker 04

  It's more in a personal lens, like it's like-

• 16:34Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's me just fucking talking shit about how dark it all is.

• 16:38Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 16:39Andrew Santino?

  But, I, we don't, no, not really. Like, I just don't care to like, make that my angle all the time.

• 16:44Speaker 04

  Right, yeah, yeah.

• 16:45Andrew Santino?

  Because I don't fucking, I re- I know it sounds gross, but I really don't give a shit.

• 16:48Speaker 04

  Well-

• 16:50Andrew Santino?

  It's hard for me to fucking care.

• 16:50Speaker 04

  We think that it affects us in like, a major way, but like, the truth is that most politicians, including Trump, don't really get shit done, ever.

• 16:58Andrew Santino?

  Nobody does.

• 16:59Speaker 04

  So, it's-

• 17:02Speaker 04

  Yes, it affects people, you know, and if he does the shit that he says he's gonna do with like tariffs, I think we're gonna be sucking dick for money, but um

• 17:11Andrew Santino?

  Thank god, back to the way I wanted it. Back to the good, back to the way we wanted it.

• 17:16Speaker 04

  Yes, just topping off for Lotto tickets.

• 17:19Andrew Santino?

  Well, I am excited, um, I am, I am excited for my city to stop burning, I will say that, so hopefully that'll change. Cause we got a little bit of rain, so now I am, that's my political asylum is uh

• 17:33Speaker 04

  What was that like, were you fucking podcasting while this shit was?

• 17:37Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, we actually got us, we moved to another studio closer to the fires on purpose during the fire, hoping we would get caught on fire and die. Cause the numbers would be fucking amazing. Like if we caught on fire while we were podding, and we wouldn't have stopped. For the fans, we would have never stopped. The studio's on fire.

• 17:54Speaker 04

  I'll have the Michael Scott take to camera.

• 17:55Andrew Santino?

  We would have never stopped. You know we would have potted for you, baby. It was dark, it was fucked up, and then I, you know, I think it decimated the town in a way that's, I don't know, we'll see what happens. That's why I feel like everyone in LA feels melancholy like I am right now, because

• 18:10Speaker 04

  It's rough.

• 18:10Andrew Santino?

  It's super sad.

• 18:11Speaker 04

  I mean, covid, two strikes.

• 18:14Andrew Santino?

  Strikes, and then this.

• 18:16Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 18:16Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, somebody doesn't like us anymore.

• 18:18Speaker 04

  It's gonna be rough to bounce back.

• 18:19Andrew Santino?

  I know dude, we gotta move, but where are we gonna move? Can I live with you?

• 18:24Speaker 04

  Come to New York, I've been telling you to move to New York for so fucking long.

• 18:27Andrew Santino?

  Can I live with you and Andy is what I'm saying.

• 18:28Speaker 04

  Sure.

• 18:29Andrew Santino?

  Are you being serious? Cause I'll do it.

• 18:30Speaker 04

  You should do it, but only to see how quickly you get the fuck out of our house. Because you're gonna be there for about 24 hours, and you're gonna go, I gotta get the fuck out.

• 18:40Andrew Santino?

  I gotta leave, this is not comfortable and I should leave.

• 18:42Speaker 04

  You're gonna be like, these two people talk so much shit, it's too toxic for me to live here.

• 18:47Andrew Santino?

  Knowing you both for so long is so funny because you're perf- you're perfect for each other, but it's, it's, you know how like, you know sometimes like, you're like, I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have seen that coming, but how didn't I see that coming?

• 18:59Speaker 04

  That's how I felt when I met him.

• 19:00Andrew Santino?

  You're perfect for each other.

• 19:01Speaker 04

  Yeah, I was like, oh, yeah.

• 19:06Andrew Santino?

  Handsome, handsome and evil?

• 19:08Speaker 04

  This makes sense, and also, I, it's, like, I never would have, like, pursued him, I didn't, like, see him like that.

• 19:17Andrew Santino?

  He pursued you?

• 19:17Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 19:18Andrew Santino?

  He tells a different story.

• 19:19Speaker 04

  That's fucking, he's out of his mind. What is the story he tells?

• 19:24Andrew Santino?

  That you harassed him a little bit.

• 19:26Speaker 04

  Harassed him?

• 19:27Andrew Santino?

  That's what he says? Harassed? I said it's-

• 19:30Speaker 04

  That's, I think, the way that I flirt.

• 19:32Andrew Santino?

  Harassment. Yeah, I told him it's courting for you.

• 19:34Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 19:35Andrew Santino?

  But he was like, I don't know, it was a little abusive that you were mean to him.

• 19:38Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 19:39Andrew Santino?

  But mean, I said, well, that's Rosie being mean is she likes you.

• 19:42Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 19:43Andrew Santino?

  And he was like, but it was verbal, it was physical, it was mental, it was-

• 19:47Speaker 04

  Well, you know, you gotta test your strengths a little bit.

• 19:51Andrew Santino?

  She said, he said the first time you guys hooked up, you kept yelling, "Don't be a bitch about this."

• 19:56Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, I can't come unless I say that.

• 20:02Speaker 04

  So, it's, you know.

• 20:04Andrew Santino?

  Don't be a bitch about this, you fucking pussy.

• 20:06Speaker 04

  If you're gonna finish, I'm gonna finish, you know?

• 20:09Speaker 01

  In here, we pour whiskey.

• 21:41Andrew Santino?

  Hey, I'm here to tell you about Kickoff. Kickoff is here to build credit. All right. It's incredible, by the way. Everybody needs credit, unfortunately. We're stuck in a time when you gotta have it. And how Kickoff works, you get Kickoff Basic, Kickoff Premium. The Basic is the most popular plan. It's just $5 a month. Kickoff Premium is $20 a month, but it's more powerful, feature-packed plan. They give you a credit line for credit building, and it reports it to the three major credit bureaus. Kickoff helps you quickly improve the key factors that determine your credit. I never knew this, by the way. The factor one is your new account immediately diversifies your credit mix. That's a big deal.

• 22:19Andrew Santino?

  Number two, each on-time monthly Kickoff payment builds payment history. Importante. And factor three, because your monthly payments are so small, your credit utilization, the amount of credit you're using, gets healthier fast. So, that helps a lot.

• 22:32Andrew Santino?

  Look, I had a lot of trouble in my 20s. I was having a lot of fun and using credit cards and getting myself in a little bit of dumb debt when I was moving out to California. And, you know, now that you're older, you want to try to buy a house, or, you know, you want to fix your credit, or, you know, get a car, or whatever it may be. And you're behind, and you need a little bit of help. You gotta try Kickoff, no matter how how fast time's gonna be flying by. It's never too late to make progress. You gotta use it. They're the number-one credit-building app in the App Store, and plans start at just $5 a month. No credit check, no hidden fees, and no interest whatsoever. So, you gotta give Kickoff a try. Building credit can happen faster than you expect with Kickoff. Don't wait. Get your first month for just $1 at GetKickoff.com/Whiskey. That's Kickoff without the C.

• 23:46Andrew Santino?

  By the way, I saw a clip this morning, that makes me laugh, I saw a clip this morning on Instagram or something of a girl. She had like, just gotten over crying. And she's like, "Do you know how fucked up it is? That I, I just bought a Plan B, I just paid for a Plan B. This morning. And, I didn't even fucking come, last night." I was like, "That's so good." I was like, "That is so fucking funny."

• 24:09Speaker 04

  That's the only reason I can think of. Going on social media to cry.

• 24:13Andrew Santino?

  She was bawling, you could tell she-

• 24:15Speaker 04

  That was perfect.

• 24:15Andrew Santino?

  It was awesome.

• 24:16Speaker 04

  That's perfect.

• 24:17Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, when people record themselves crying, you know, they had like, set it up and then continued. But like, for her, you could tell she was so annoyed and pissed off.

• 24:22Speaker 04

  I didn't even come.

• 24:24Andrew Santino?

  Like, the guy she fucked, she hated his guts, you know, she was like, This was like that, this was a loser's friend. Who was a bigger loser than the guy I was gonna fuck.

• 24:32Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 24:33Andrew Santino?

  But he didn't like me, so I fucked this loser.

• 24:35Speaker 04

  Oh my god.

• 24:36Andrew Santino?

  I don't know if it was a bit, but it was really good. If that, whoever you are, if that was real, it was red.

• 24:40Speaker 04

  When you fuck someone you hate, and you don't even get to come, it is, there's nothing. For women, I mean, it's, I guess for men too, but, you guys always come. Pretty much.

• 24:50Andrew Santino?

  No, no.

• 24:52Speaker 04

  Well, not, alright.

• 24:53Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, of course.

• 24:54Speaker 04

  But your batting average is pretty fucking good.

• 24:55Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, yeah, we've always come. Like, like, most, like, women, well, some women have to, Not have to, but some women will fake. I don't know a man that's faked. Have you faked? Never faked.

• 25:05Speaker 04

  Right.

• 25:06Andrew Santino?

  That's not a thing.

• 25:06Speaker 04

  When, when we Almost come, and then we don't get, I, I don't know, maybe I'm alone in this, I get So angry. I get so mad. Like, I've n-

• 25:22Andrew Santino?

  When you don't get to come and you were right there.

• 25:24Speaker 04

  There was,

• 25:26Speaker 04

  Oh my god, I have a daughter, um-

• 25:30Andrew Santino?

  Dude, she's gonna hear.

• 25:31Speaker 04

  Okay, so, there was this one time, When Andy and I were messing around, and- And I had a vibrator and the vibrator broke and I, and that threw me off and then

• 25:45Andrew Santino?

  How did it break?

• 25:46Speaker 04

  It like it ran out of batteries.

• 25:47Andrew Santino?

  Batteries, okay, say that, cuz I was like, you broke it?

• 25:49Speaker 04

  No, no, no, no, I'm sorry.

• 25:50Andrew Santino?

  Just like, just bashing it?

• 25:52Speaker 04

  Snap it out.

• 25:53Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 25:53Speaker 04

  No, so it ran out of batteries and then, you know, he was like, he wasn't being a good sport. He was like, okay, we can, we can get through it, let's do it, you know what I mean? But I was like, I got pissed off cuz I was really like enjoying that and then that broke and then I was like, I couldn't, and I just lost it and I fucking threw the vibrator against the wall and it fucking broke. It broke.

• 26:15Andrew Santino?

  Now it broke.

• 26:16Speaker 04

  Now it broke, broke. And I, I was like, god fucking damn, and I was like, oh, I forgot you were here. Like, I, I got so mad. He was like, no, it feels like you were alone doing this and I just sort of got in the way.

• 26:31Andrew Santino?

  But you're like, sometimes I am alone when you're with me.

• 26:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, well, you know, I'm married.

• 26:35Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, exactly, dude. We don't always, we're, we're not always there.

• 26:39Speaker 04

  It's not the notebook every fucking day.

• 26:41Andrew Santino?

  Right, right.

• 26:42Speaker 04

  You know what I mean?

• 26:42Andrew Santino?

  Sometimes it's-

• 26:43Speaker 04

  Sometimes you're both just trying to get off.

• 26:45Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 26:45Speaker 04

  To make it to Wednesday.

• 26:46Andrew Santino?

• 26:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

  That's the beauty of married life.

• 26:53Andrew Santino?

  Are you guys hooking up between the nap times, is that, is this nap time hookup?

• 26:57Speaker 04

  Um, no, this was, I think she was asleep, yeah, she was asleep and it was, she was like a newborn.

• 27:22Andrew Santino?

  Imagine.

• 27:23Speaker 04

  I'm gonna be like, yeah, well, you know, um, it's gonna pay the bills. Uh, but yeah, it's, it is, I do think that's the beauty of married life, is that you kind of are, you're like alone together.

• 27:36Andrew Santino?

  You're alone together.

• 27:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:37Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, a hundred percent. So, a lot of times you're connecting, a lot of times it's, it's really fluid and fun and- You know, you're like, "Man, I really like this fucking human. This is rad."

• 27:46Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:46Andrew Santino?

  And then a lot of times the polar opposite.

• 27:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:49Andrew Santino?

  When you're like, "Fuck you, don't wanna see ya, don't like being around you right now." Like, "I can't avoid you."

• 27:55Speaker 04

  You're like, "If you could actually go back on your phone, that would be fantastic."

• 28:00Andrew Santino?

  That makes things a little bit better for me.

• 28:01Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 28:02Andrew Santino?

  If you don't even look at me in the face.

• 28:05Andrew Santino?

  That's like, but that's like, it's so funny, it's like everyone's experience, and yet, for years, people didn't wanna say it as if that was

• 28:12Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 28:12Andrew Santino?

  a reality. People were like, "Come on." No, it's, everything is, "If you have to like that for you, you're crazy."

• 28:17Speaker 04

  There's still people like that.

• 28:19Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's a lie.

• 28:20Speaker 04

  And I truly hope their car flips over. I just, like, people that pretend that it's all perfect and that it's supposed to be, and I'm like, "What? In what fucking world?"

• 28:30Andrew Santino?

  I don't buy, I just don't buy it, because, okay, or, how about this, I'll give, I'll just play devil's advocate then. Maybe it is like that for them, but then the love when it is heavy is not as strong as when it is, right? Because when you're like annoyed with someone because you love them and because you're with them all the time, the way you love on the other side of it, when it's positive, has to be way stronger than theirs.

• 28:53Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 28:53Andrew Santino?

  Theirs must be baseline.

• 28:54Speaker 04

  The lower your lows are, the higher your highs are, for sure.

• 28:57Andrew Santino?

  And we're, that's who we are, we're peekers, dude.

• 28:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 28:59Andrew Santino?

  We're peekers, it's our nature. That's why you're a stand-up, that's why you're a brilliant writer. For those that don't know, you're probably one of-

• 29:05Speaker 04

  Let's not say things we can't take back.

• 29:06Andrew Santino?

  Well, no, and it's true. And it's true. And also, I'll say this, before I started the show, I should've said it, but I'll say it now. Rosie has a special out right now, it's on Netflix, you can watch it right now. It's out right now, so in fact, if you wanna stop the pod, jump over, come back, do it, I don't fucking, it's fine, YouTube, it doesn't matter. But it's, and the special's called?

• 29:27Speaker 04

  The Mother Lode.

• 29:28Andrew Santino?

  The Mother Lode.

• 29:29Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 29:29Andrew Santino?

  And, um, it's double entendre for people that don't know.

• 29:32Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 29:34Andrew Santino?

  You were a truck driver for the first 15 years of your adult life.

• 29:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, and I was also part of the gold rush.

• 29:39Andrew Santino?

  You were?

• 29:39Speaker 04

  Yeah, I'm on my like 16th life or something.

• 29:41Andrew Santino?

  God bless, dude.

• 29:42Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 29:42Andrew Santino?

  Well, it all comes back around. Mother Lode shot in?

• 29:45Speaker 04

  Um, in the cellar, in New York, and, uh-

• 29:48Andrew Santino?

  What a fucking dream.

• 29:50Speaker 04

  Shot half of it pregnant, half of it a year after having the baby. Mostly, it's gonna sound like, you know, a concept, but honestly, I wasn't really ready to shoot the first half. And I was talking to Ryan Hamilton.

• 30:05Andrew Santino?

  Love Ryan Hamilton. One of the best.

• 30:08Speaker 04

  Yeah, and I was like, I gotta get this on film, I gotta get this on tape because I, I'm gonna have a kid. You know what I mean? So I gotta get this on tape. But, I don't fully know if it's ready. And I know that like, comics are just throwing shit at the wall right now, but it's not how I wanna do it.

• 30:25Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 30:26Speaker 04

  And so, I was like, I, but I'm gonna put it on film and, or, see what happens and, he was like, uh, "Why don't you shoot half of it and then shoot the other half later?"

• 30:36Andrew Santino?

  Wow.

• 30:37Speaker 04

  And I was like, "Oh, like after?" I was like, "Yeah, that's actually great because I, I'm more curious about what happens after."

• 30:44Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 30:44Speaker 04

  Than I am.

• 30:46Andrew Santino?

  Right now.

• 30:46Speaker 04

  About the, yeah.

• 30:47Andrew Santino?

  Dude, that's brilliant. Did you thank him in the special thanks?

• 30:50Speaker 04

  Yes, of course, yeah. I've shouted him out every fucking chance I can.

• 30:54Andrew Santino?

  How funny would that be if you didn't? It'd be so fucking evil. And like, you do like a big interview and somebody's like, "Rosie, where, you're on Howard Stern, where did you get this idea, this concept?" And you're like, "Honestly, it just kinda came to me."

• 31:04Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 31:05Andrew Santino?

  On my own, yeah.

• 31:06Speaker 04

  It's all special thanks and then I'm like, "And..." There's like a, a separate card that's just like, "And if anybody else comes to mind, I'll let you guys know."

• 31:14Andrew Santino?

  That's rad. I would love that. No, Hamilton's the fucking man.

• 31:17Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 31:17Andrew Santino?

  That's a great idea, and that's so great.

• 31:19Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 31:19Andrew Santino?

  And to do it, you did it in, uh, in McDougal, yeah?

• 31:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, I did it, no, no, no, I did it at the, at the VU.

• 31:25Andrew Santino?

  At the VU?

• 31:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 31:26Andrew Santino?

  Okay.

• 31:27Speaker 04

  I did both at the VU.

• 31:28Andrew Santino?

  McDougal's tiny.

• 31:29Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 31:30Andrew Santino?

  But you could do it, right? I mean, people have done it.

• 31:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, I mean, it's, it's just, I mean, I would look taller, which would've been nice, but I just wanted to, I wanted it to have that feeling of like, I like a bigger room, you know? Um, but the VU is, I think like a nice kind of in-between.

• 31:47Andrew Santino?

  It's perfect.

• 31:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 31:48Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, no, numbers-wise, it's really, really good. McDougal's great, I, I love it 'cause it's tiny and, it's almost like we're a little dirty together and it's just, see, it's like it's somebody's ba- it's like you're telling...

• 31:58Speaker 04

  It's got a prohibition vibe.

• 31:59Andrew Santino?

  It's 100%, yeah. We're not supposed to be down here.

• 32:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:02Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, VU feels more like a comedy club.

• 32:04Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:04Andrew Santino?

  Where you're like, "Yeah, no, no, everybody knows it's okay to be here."

• 32:06Speaker 04

  It's got a little bit of a road room feel to it, too.

• 32:08Andrew Santino?

  100%, yeah. Especially when the band kicks in.

• 32:11Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:11Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 32:12Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 32:13Andrew Santino?

  There's, there's times where, I'll be up there and I'm like... It's full band, just right next to me, full band, and I feel bad for the band. Cause I'm like, if I'm not doing great, and I'm like, fuck dude, you guys, do you guys wanna go smoke? Or like, get the fuck out of here?

• 32:26Speaker 04

  You could take a walk.

• 32:27Andrew Santino?

  I feel bad, cause that's like, there's a, like, I don't care if the crowd is like, yeah, some of the stuff, if it did okay that night. If they're like, yeah, it was alright, whatever. But like, the, another, another performer has to be near you, watching you perform?

• 32:39Speaker 04

  I know, especially if you wanna try something.

• 32:41Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, fucks me up a little bit.

• 32:42Speaker 04

  If you're trying something and somebody's just watching you go, that was a choice?

• 32:46Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's so fucked.

• 32:48Speaker 04

  You know what I mean?

• 32:48Andrew Santino?

  Yes, and they do make those faces where they go, hmm.

• 32:51Speaker 04

  Yeah, they do.

• 32:51Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, dude.

• 32:52Speaker 04

  And sometimes I'll look and I'll be like, fuck you.

• 32:54Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, fuck you, yeah.

• 32:55Speaker 04

  You know what I mean? I'm like, fuck you, Red, like, be nice.

• 32:58Andrew Santino?

  But also, he's right.

• 32:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:59Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, whenever I do a joke that's like, okay, and then they're like, always like, yeah, right, I know, I know, I fucking know.

• 33:05Speaker 04

  I'm taking the feedback.

• 33:06Andrew Santino?

  You don't have to fucking, I mean, I'm just, I'm sorry. No, do-

• 33:09Speaker 04

  But it is so nice when you get to that point at the Cellar to like, when you're comfortable enough to try shit. Cause there's so many people, I mean, a lot of people have gotten passed, and I think that's great.

• 33:20Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 33:20Speaker 04

  Cause it's good to, like, get new blood. But there is like, that period of time after you get passed where it's like, you're just doing A. You're just doing, you're playing the hits, cause you just wanna stay at the club, and, you know what I mean, and you have to.

• 33:30Andrew Santino?

  A hundred percent.

• 33:32Speaker 04

  But, I really enjoy it when I see a comic go up and try something.

• 33:37Andrew Santino?

  Yes.

• 33:38Speaker 04

  Because it's like, thank you, like, what the fuck are we doing this for?

• 33:41Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, otherwise, you're never gonna, it's never gonna grow.

• 33:43Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 33:44Andrew Santino?

  That's the only other thing I will say about the store having a little bit of leg up on that is, the store kinda promotes a lot of that, internally, a lot of people are always trying a lot of shit.

• 33:54Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 33:55Andrew Santino?

  In the original room, like, always, all the time.

• 33:57Speaker 04

  Right.

• 33:57Andrew Santino?

  And I think it's just a cultural thing.

• 33:59Speaker 04

  Right.

• 33:59Andrew Santino?

  Like, the pressure of the Cellar is crazy.

• 34:01Speaker 04

  I think it happened, honestly, I mean, I don't know, cause I haven't been there this long, but I have a theory. Which is that, you know, when- On Louis, like, you saw it every week on TV.

• 34:13Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 34:14Speaker 04

  And that gives it a kind of like mystique that you don't, that it, a regular comedy club doesn't necessarily have.

• 34:21Andrew Santino?

  Totally.

• 34:22Speaker 04

  Which, you could say that about the store too, though.

• 34:24Andrew Santino?

  Well, the store had it a long time ago.

• 34:25Speaker 04

  Documentaries and shit about it, even recently, though.

• 34:28Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, but I mean, but our, but the store's heyday of like relevance and inserting, like inserting itself in a culture was really like Jim Carrey and Robin Williams. These guys like that you saw film there and do stuff.

• 34:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 34:39Andrew Santino?

  It like immortalized the main room and that red brig, you know, big red light. It did something.

• 34:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 34:46Andrew Santino?

  It's just different now. Times are, times are fucking.

• 34:48Speaker 04

  It is, it's odd because I, it's fun, you're like one of the comics that I talk to about comedy in a really dorky way.

• 34:55Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, nerd shit, yeah, yeah.

• 34:56Speaker 04

  But I miss this a lot.

• 34:58Andrew Santino?

  I know, me too.

• 34:59Speaker 04

  Cause it feels like it doesn't happen as much.

• 35:02Andrew Santino?

  Well, everyone now is a grown up. Like you grew, everyone's grown up. Everyone's like got married or they're divorced or they moved or, or they're on the run, you know?

• 35:10Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 35:11Andrew Santino?

  We have a few friends that are on the run.

• 35:12Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 35:13Andrew Santino?

  And they're, and they're gonna get you, boys.

• 35:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 35:15Andrew Santino?

  They are gonna get you, boys. You're in some trouble, dude. You can't, you can't kill people and get away with it.

• 35:21Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, you can't. It's not, it's not okay.

• 35:23Andrew Santino?

  You wish you could, but you can't.

• 35:26Speaker 04

  And we're coming for you.

• 35:27Andrew Santino?

  First person that you would kill if you could, if it was okay? Like, what is that, what's the movie where you can kill someone and get away with it? What day is that? You know, it's like the movie where like, oh, The Purge? Yeah, who's, on your purge day? Who's the one person you could kill if you could? I know you've thought about this, Rosie. There's no doubt in my mind you've been in the shower going, fuck, kill that person right now.

• 35:45Speaker 04

  No, I mean, but you're asking, you're sort of like Billy on the streeting me right now. Sort of like, name a woman.

• 35:50Andrew Santino?

  Here.

• 35:50Speaker 04

  Um, there's a long list, you know what I mean?

• 35:52Andrew Santino?

  Isn't that crazy that he's so, he's so good at stumping people? When you know they know what they wanna say, but they can't.

• 35:58Speaker 04

  But like I, cause I have an answer to this, but you just asked me out of the blue and I don't, I suddenly don't have an answer.

• 36:03Andrew Santino?

  How about this, name a woman?

• 36:05Speaker 04

  Me.

• 36:06Andrew Santino?

  That doesn't count.

• 36:07Speaker 04

  Oprah Winfrey.

• 36:08Andrew Santino?

  Okay, good, there you go.

• 36:08Speaker 04

  Jesus Christ.

• 36:10Andrew Santino?

  Isn't that amazing that that works somehow?

• 36:11Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:12Andrew Santino?

  Name an Asian person, go. A famous Asian person.

• 36:13Speaker 04

  Bobby. Bobby Lee.

• 36:15Andrew Santino?

  Not Bobby Lee.

• 36:16Speaker 04

  Bobby Lee. You can't just say no.

• 36:18Andrew Santino?

  No, famous, I said famous. I said famous.

• 36:19Speaker 04

  Bobby Lee's famous.

• 36:20Andrew Santino?

  Nope, no thank you.

• 36:21Speaker 04

  You're out of your mind. You're out of your mind.

• 36:23Andrew Santino?

  Name a famous person, Asian person, not Bobby Lee, go.

• 36:25Speaker 04

  Ronnie Chang.

• 36:27Andrew Santino?

  That's great. Now that, now Ronnie Chang is famous. We like Ronnie Chang.

• 36:31Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:32Andrew Santino?

  Bobby boo, Ronnie yay.

• 36:36Andrew Santino?

  Ronnie Chang is the man.

• 36:37Speaker 04

  Right.

• 36:38Andrew Santino?

  Okay, so, if you could kill one person.

• 36:40Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 36:41Andrew Santino?

  And you're gonna get away with it.

• 36:42Speaker 04

  Past or present?

• 36:44Andrew Santino?

  Gotta be right now, cuz I gotta know, I gotta know that I could see it happen. And you'd come over to my house and we'd talk about it, but the cops can't get ya.

• 36:52Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 36:53Andrew Santino?

  It's gonna be okay, too.

• 36:54Speaker 04

  This is, I'm gonna be honest with you, it's...

• 37:00Speaker 04

  I think the guy that just, what's his name, that just got, um...

• 37:05Andrew Santino?

  Who, he'll look it up. He's already looking, he's already on Google, fingers...

• 37:09Speaker 04

  And I, and I could be, listen, I haven't read enough about him, but from what I've read, whoever just got, uh, uh, Secretary of Treasury.

• 37:18Andrew Santino?

  Who's that? I don't know who that is.

• 37:19Speaker 04

  He's gotta go.

• 37:20Andrew Santino?

  I'm too stupid to know who that is.

• 37:21Speaker 04

  It's gonna be real bad. Unless you're a scam artist. If you're a scam artist, it's gonna be a great four years for you. You're about to make a shit ton of money, awful lot of real...

• 37:29Andrew Santino?

  Scott Besant?

• 37:30Speaker 04

  Yes, yeah, yeah.

• 37:31Andrew Santino?

  What is Scott Besant? I don't know anything. Why do I, I don't even know who that is. He's ex hedge fund manager, confirmed as his Treasury Secretary.

• 37:38Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 37:38Andrew Santino?

  Ex hedge fund guy, you're gonna love this guy.

• 37:40Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 37:41Andrew Santino?

  One of the best.

• 37:42Speaker 04

  Yeah, he's gonna be, he's gonna be doing the tariffs and all that shit.

• 37:45Andrew Santino?

  Oh.

• 37:46Speaker 04

  And it's, he's, he's playing with fucking house money and it's gonna be bad.

• 37:50Andrew Santino?

  Wouldn't that be fun to be Scott, what's his name, Scott what? Scott B.E.S.S.E.N.T. Besant. Scott Besant, I wanna be him when I grow up.

• 37:58Speaker 04

  If you got a shit ton of money, if you're, if you're watching this and you're just rolling in it, you know?

• 38:03Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, God bless.

• 38:04Speaker 04

  Fucking take me out.

• 38:05Andrew Santino?

  Go off dude, somebody kill her, I'm dead serious, somebody kill her.

• 38:08Speaker 04

  Go for it, okay, but I think he's one of those where I'm like, it's gonna be bad, you know, he's gotta go soon.

• 38:16Andrew Santino?

  He's gotta go. Oh yeah, we do have a gun there in the studio.

• 38:19Speaker 04

  Oh, is that real?

• 38:20Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I wish.

• 38:20Speaker 04

  That does not look real.

• 38:21Andrew Santino?

  No, it's a faker.

• 38:22Speaker 04

  Okay, yeah.

• 38:23Andrew Santino?

  We wish it was.

• 38:24Speaker 04

  Shotguns before.

• 38:25Andrew Santino?

  We can't, we can't, uh, we can't have any real guns in the studio, Bobby gets all scared, he gets all weird about it.

• 38:31Speaker 04

  Really?

• 38:31Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 38:32Speaker 05

  Too many, too many suicidal people around.

• 38:34Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, too many people here that would kill themselves.

• 38:35Speaker 04

  He's never done a fucking, you guys have never done like a shooting range together?

• 38:38Andrew Santino?

  No, I have a joke about it in my new hour that we got offered to go to a shooting range.

• 38:42Speaker 04

  And he wouldn't do it?

• 38:43Andrew Santino?

  Absolutely not, he was so scared. Uh, I won't step on the joke, but, cause it's a real story, but he, um, he says, well, we talked about it in that one episode too.

• 38:55Speaker 04

  I bet you it's cause he's like scared of kickback, I bet it's cause he doesn't wanna hurt his shoulder.

• 38:58Andrew Santino?

  What a pussy.

• 38:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 38:59Andrew Santino?

  Oh! No, he's afraid, he, he, he thinks that, um, uh...

• 39:05Speaker 05

  He didn't grow up around it.

• 39:06Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, but he thinks that someone will get killed, even if everyone's being safe.

• 39:09Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 39:10Andrew Santino?

  Which is, uh, which I totally understand, I know what he means by that, of like...

• 39:13Speaker 04

  I almost killed Andy.

• 39:15Andrew Santino?

  Ooh, so close.

• 39:16Speaker 04

  We were fucking, yeah, it was pretty close.

• 39:17Andrew Santino?

  Where'd you guys go?

• 39:18Speaker 04

  We went, uh, we were visiting my dad, and whenever we go visit my dad, we go shooting.

• 39:23Andrew Santino?

  Your dad's a big hunter?

• 39:24Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 39:24Andrew Santino?

  Shotguns?

• 39:25Speaker 04

  Shotguns.

• 39:26Andrew Santino?

  Twelve gauge, twenty gauge? You don't know.

• 39:28Speaker 04

  I think he's got a twelve gauge, at least for skeet shooting.

• 39:31Andrew Santino?

  Is it over, under, or side by side? Are the, are the, are the barrels on top of each other, or are they next to each other?

• 39:39Speaker 04

  I think on, oh, it's, I think it's on top.

• 39:41Andrew Santino?

  Ooh, nice.

• 39:41Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 39:42Andrew Santino?

  Nice.

• 39:43Speaker 04

  Cause I remember looking through, but I'm like, remember, I'm trying to remember if it's, yeah, it was on, yeah. But there's a video of me... Basically, doing this with my dad. And I hadn't shot since I was like 10 years old.

• 39:57Andrew Santino?

  Whoa.

• 39:58Speaker 04

  And I was like, because I used to do it at camp. We would go to Christian summer camp.

• 40:03Andrew Santino?

  Hell yeah.

• 40:04Speaker 04

  And we would fucking ride horses and shoot guns.

• 40:05Andrew Santino?

  Rock and roll dude.

• 40:06Speaker 04

  And go to church. And I literally, I hadn't shot a gun in so long, I'm like, holding it, my stance is fucked. I'm not a good shot. Um, but I like, I forgot how fucking hard that kickback is. And I went, oh fuck, and I just swung the gun this way. And you just see my dad go, no, no, no, no. And Andy go, wah! Like, he's like, he's filming it, but he's like ducking. At the same time, those things are fucking heavy.

• 40:36Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 40:36Speaker 04

  They're crazy heavy.

• 40:38Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 40:38Speaker 04

  And you've got your finger on it still, you know, it's like my finger's still on the trigger. You like, forget the second that you're done shooting.

• 40:45Andrew Santino?

  Oh yeah. We went to, me and the guy that was opening for me, we went to, when we were in Canada, we were in Alberta. We were shooting guns, we were shooting all sorts of fun stuff. And there was one point where I was just like, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. And then I realized, I'm like, oh my god. It's, he's-

• 41:00Speaker 04

  It's not a toy.

• 41:01Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, he's like 3 feet away from me.

• 41:03Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 41:03Andrew Santino?

  And he's like, right, he's like staring over my shoulder. I was like, this is a fucking, how easy it'd be for me to be like, bro!

• 41:08Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 41:08Andrew Santino?

  Check this out! And just shoot him.

• 41:11Speaker 04

  I, I cannot believe that anybody who is really into shooting, doesn't at least think of it a little bit like a toy.

• 41:19Andrew Santino?

  It's a toy, it does become a toy. You forget that it's a thing.

• 41:22Speaker 04

  You forget that it is a fucking weapon.

• 41:23Andrew Santino?

  I also have a little panic moment of when we went to a, whenever I go to like a public range of any kind, you don't know any of these people. It would take nothing for some lunatic to be like, okay! And then shoot down the line.

• 41:34Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 41:35Andrew Santino?

  I think about that all the time. Every time I'm like, I don't know any of these guys. I don't know any of their intentions, I don't know if they're crazy, or if they're like, fuck them, who cares? What if he's having a bad day and he's like, you know what? I don't care, fuck it.

• 41:46Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 41:46Andrew Santino?

  That scares me a little bit too.

• 41:47Speaker 04

  What if he has a fucking seizure?

• 41:49Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah.

• 41:49Speaker 04

  You know what I'm saying?

• 41:50Andrew Santino?

  Start shooting everybody.

• 41:51Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 41:51Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, dude.

• 41:52Speaker 04

  It's like, you don't know.

• 41:53Andrew Santino?

  No, I know. That's why public shooting ranges gives me a little bit of the...

• 41:56Speaker 04

  Yeah, no.

• 41:57Andrew Santino?

  I don't know, I get weirded out by it, because I don't...

• 41:59Speaker 04

  It's fucking freaky.

• 41:59Andrew Santino?

  Because can you trust anybody?

• 42:01Speaker 04

  No.

• 42:02Andrew Santino?

  But we do all the time.

• 42:03Speaker 04

  I don't even trust myself.

• 42:04Andrew Santino?

  I know, but we do so much. You trust everybody all the time. When you get into an Uber, you just like trust this stranger that he won't kill you.

• 42:11Speaker 04

  No.

• 42:11Speaker 05

  We can't, but we need to.

• 42:13Speaker 04

  I don't. I really don't. I don't think that I walk around...

• 42:15Andrew Santino?

  You think about death every time you're in an Uber?

• 42:17Speaker 04

  I think about death every day, several times a day.

• 42:20Andrew Santino?

  All day long?

• 42:21Speaker 04

  Yeah. I really do.

• 42:22Andrew Santino?

  How do you think you go?

• 42:25Speaker 04

  I'm always like, I'm probably gonna like walk in front of a bus.

• 42:28Andrew Santino?

  Oh, on purpose?

• 42:29Speaker 04

  By accident, looking at my phone, like an asshole.

• 42:31Andrew Santino?

  Right. You're gonna die like an asshole.

• 42:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna die like an asshole.

• 42:34Andrew Santino?

  Like one of those ways where you're like, you know, Rosie could have prevented it. And everyone's like, what the fu- what she was doing, what? And then they have to lie.

• 42:40Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 42:40Andrew Santino?

  You know when they have to lie about someone's death and they go, oh yeah, it was a crazy fatal accident?

• 42:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 42:45Andrew Santino?

  And someone's like, what happened? And they're like, I think it was just a crazy accident.

• 42:49Speaker 04

  Yeah, she didn't wash her hands enough. It's gonna be something fucking embarrassing, you know?

• 42:53Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 42:53Speaker 04

  I think like, ultimately, I would like for people to not dress it up.

• 42:58Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 42:58Speaker 04

  You know? If I did something where it's like, oh, you fucking moron, I'd like that to be addressed.

• 43:04Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, right.

• 43:05Speaker 04

  You know?

• 43:05Andrew Santino?

  Where you did something real foolish.

• 43:07Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 43:07Andrew Santino?

  You know what bothers me? I saw an article this morning about someone that died, an athlete, a pitcher.

• 43:11Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 43:12Andrew Santino?

  A famous pitcher. And, uh, they always run the... Like, the publications that have like any sort of fucking like heart will just be like, "He died unexpectedly this morning in his home." And then right underneath that will be like Page Six or one of these fucking things that's like, "Drug overdose, house littered with paraphernalia." You're like, alright dude, you don't need to fucking shit on him. He just died.

• 43:36Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 43:36Andrew Santino?

  But they always wanna expose you for being like, "And guess what? He was jerking off to gay porn, needles everywhere." You're like, alright dude, just say he died. Just say he died.

• 43:46Speaker 04

  Give it a day.

• 43:47Andrew Santino?

  Give it a little bit. That bothers me now, because people need to know how he died. Like, you have to know.

• 43:52Speaker 04

  I know.

• 43:53Andrew Santino?

  It used to just be like, "He passed away unexpectedly. It was pretty awful."

• 43:56Speaker 04

  And people would go...

• 43:57Andrew Santino?

  Shit man, sorry dude.

• 43:59Speaker 04

  Good run.

• 43:59Andrew Santino?

  Good run, man. Now we're like, let me see a photo of it.

• 44:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, I know.

• 44:03Andrew Santino?

  What does it look like?

• 44:04Speaker 04

  There is something about that, that's like, uh, I think like, we're just so fucking, it's like, give me more.

• 44:10Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I wanna know.

• 44:11Speaker 04

  It's like, why are we getting fucking dopamine hits from obituaries?

• 44:16Andrew Santino?

  Cause this, this thing made us want to know more than we should know.

• 44:20Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 44:21Speaker 05

  We have access to every information ever.

• 44:23Andrew Santino?

  So we need to know more than we should know.

• 44:25Speaker 04

  And yet, we know less than we have ever known.

• 44:27Andrew Santino?

  I know, that is fucked.

• 44:29Speaker 04

  We know nothing.

• 44:29Andrew Santino?

  And we're not growing, knowledge wise, right? We're going backwards, for sure.

• 44:32Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 44:33Speaker 04

  Probably.

• 44:34Andrew Santino?

  I think, I think what we know, I think what's interesting, like, our generation versus our parents would be, we know more about, I think, we, arguably, we know more about present culture. Like, we would know more about everything in our present culture, more so than in our history. Where like, my dad, I can ask him anything about what's going on now, he's pretty fucking lost.

• 44:54Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 44:54Andrew Santino?

  But if I'm historical, if I ask him questions, ask my dad a question about World War II, he'll sit you down for like, an hour and a half.

• 45:00Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 45:01Andrew Santino?

  And be like, "And then, and then", and he knows everything. And I think our generation-

• 45:04Speaker 04

  I love that shit.

• 45:05Andrew Santino?

  But I think we don't know that as much.

• 45:06Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 45:07Andrew Santino?

  I think our generation doesn't know history as much.

• 45:08Speaker 04

  No.

• 45:09Andrew Santino?

  What, like, his generation, he's in his twenties-

• 45:11Speaker 04

  I can barely tell you about the NSYNC years.

• 45:14Andrew Santino?

  That, and well, that, and now, those are the good years too, dude. That was, that was when America was great, I will say.

• 45:21Speaker 04

  It was pretty good.

• 45:21Andrew Santino?

  NSYNC was fucking-

• 45:22Speaker 04

  It was pretty fucking good.

• 45:23Andrew Santino?

  Make America NSYNC again.

• 45:25Speaker 04

  Dude, I was watching the Deadpool, like Wolverine movie, the-

• 45:29Andrew Santino?

  I never watched it. Should I watch it?

• 45:31Speaker 04

  Um, if you want. I, just being straightforward. Here's what I didn't like about it, okay? There's always, in Deadpool, there's a lot of like, nods to camera, you know what I mean? This was like, we're getting really inside, you know what I mean? They're talking about how Disney got sold, or like, how Fox got sold to Disney, and like, you know, and I'm like, who, who is this for? You know what I mean?

• 45:56Andrew Santino?

  The writers.

• 45:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, you just kinda hear the writers' room-

• 46:00Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 46:01Speaker 04

  Talking about, like-

• 46:03Andrew Santino?

  The politics of the business.

• 46:04Speaker 04

  You know, there's like a jerk off joke and he's like, "That's not new to me, but it is to Disney." You know, and it's like.

• 46:09Andrew Santino?

  What?

• 46:10Speaker 04

  Stop it. You know, it's a little too industry inside.

• 46:14Andrew Santino?

  That, but that's, that's how they know they've gone too far in the superhero world is now they're, now the superhero worlds, I feel like a lot of them are mocking themselves, or they're joking about another superhero world.

• 46:25Speaker 04

  Right.

• 46:26Andrew Santino?

  And when I see that, I'm like, "That's so fucking weird."

• 46:27Speaker 04

  I think that's always been part of the Deadpool thing.

• 46:30Andrew Santino?

  That's for them, yes.

• 46:31Speaker 04

  But this just got like too inside Hollywood for me and like inside baseball for me and I feel like I get a lot of what they're saying.

• 46:39Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 46:39Speaker 04

  I'm like, "I get the jokes."

• 46:40Andrew Santino?

  That's bad.

• 46:41Speaker 04

  And it's not really working for me.

• 46:43Andrew Santino?

  It should go over my head a little bit.

• 46:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 46:45Andrew Santino?

  It should be more like fantasy. It should be like, yeah, I, I wanna hear a made up, make it up. Make it more fantastical.

• 46:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, I mean, it, it's totally like a matter of taste, but for me, I was like, that's...

• 46:57Andrew Santino?

  Do you remember as a kid, like, watching a movie and laughing at a joke and then learning what the joke actually was when you got older? Do you know what I'm talking about?

• 47:04Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 47:04Andrew Santino?

  Were you like, see, that made me think of like in film when I was a kid. I remember like seeing something, laughing, having no fucking idea why I laughed, but like, cause the cue, the comic cue of it.

• 47:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 47:13Andrew Santino?

  Like you understood that that's where it was funny, but I just didn't get it?

• 47:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, I know an exact joke.

• 47:18Andrew Santino?

  What, what is it?

• 47:19Speaker 04

  It was, it was, it was a Rodney Dangerfield joke.

• 47:23Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 47:23Speaker 04

  And he'd be like, um, he was like, "I know I don't look like it, but I do pretty well with the ladies." And then you'd go, "I'm a rapist." And I...

• 47:42Andrew Santino?

  Oh, God.

• 47:43Speaker 04

  And I would watch that and I, I would laugh instinctually at that joke.

• 47:48Andrew Santino?

  Cause the beat is right, the rhythm is...

• 47:50Speaker 04

  The rhythm is so perfect.

• 47:51Andrew Santino?

  Exactly.

• 47:51Speaker 04

  But then you get it and you're like, "Oh, my God."

• 47:55Andrew Santino?

  Oh, my God.

• 47:56Speaker 04

  It's so much funnier.

• 47:59Andrew Santino?

  It's so funnier now that I'm grown.

• 48:00Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 48:01Andrew Santino?

  It is funny.

• 48:02Speaker 04

  It is.

• 48:02Andrew Santino?

  Cause you just knew the rhythm was exactly where it's supposed to be.

• 48:05Speaker 04

  And it's just like... Perfect, like, punchline brevity.

• 48:10Andrew Santino?

  Right, right.

• 48:10Speaker 04

  It's like, three fucking words. You're like, "Oh my god, there's not, there's no fat on it." It's just a perfect joke.

• 48:17Andrew Santino?

  That is fucking brilliant. What is that, was that, what was that from?

• 48:20Speaker 04

  I don't know.

• 48:21Andrew Santino?

  Was that just a spot that he did?

• 48:21Speaker 04

  I don't even fucking know. I honestly can't remember.

• 48:24Andrew Santino?

  God, that's really good. He'll look up, he'll find out the depths of it.

• 48:27Speaker 04

  It's so good.

• 48:28Andrew Santino?

  What, I, what is it?

• 48:29Speaker 05

  I mean, a lot of his stuff is just one liner stuff, even his specials are all-

• 48:32Andrew Santino?

  I know, but if it was put in anything, yeah, it might have been in his special.

• 48:34Speaker 05

  It appears to be in no respect.

• 48:36Andrew Santino?

  No respect?

• 48:36Speaker 05

  Yeah, like the OG.

• 48:38Speaker 04

  Yeah, that sounds right.

• 48:39Andrew Santino?

  God, that's fascinating, though.

• 48:40Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 48:41Andrew Santino?

  Right, 'cause you, it happens to me a lot, i- i- in film now, I realize I'm so grown, that nothing is gonna miss me, usually.

• 48:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 48:50Andrew Santino?

  And I miss it when I was young, and it like, caught me off guard.

• 48:53Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 48:53Andrew Santino?

  Where I was like, "What is that's fucking..." And my dad would hear something and be like, "Eh..."

• 48:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 48:58Andrew Santino?

  "You don't need to fucking..."

• 48:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 49:00Andrew Santino?

  "Ah, listen away..."

• 49:00Speaker 04

  It's got that feeling of like, "Oh, this is bad. I shouldn't be listening to this. This is bad."

• 49:04Andrew Santino?

  Right, it's naughty.

• 49:05Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 49:05Andrew Santino?

  But I don't feel that in film at all. Like, I don't have that anymore. Every time I go see something now, I feel like it's...

• 49:10Speaker 04

  I get it from, um, I don't really get it from comedy as much anymore.

• 49:14Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 49:15Speaker 04

  Because it's more like, I'm br- it's just like-

• 49:17Andrew Santino?

  When's the last time you saw a comedy?

• 49:19Speaker 04

  Fuck, I don't know. I really genuinely don't know.

• 49:21Andrew Santino?

  No, I actually don't know. I was asking for, for real, for real, not even like a rhetorical. The last comedy film I saw in the theater was...

• 49:32Speaker 04

  I think the closest mine would be Barbarian, but that was a horror.

• 49:38Andrew Santino?

  But a comedy horror.

• 49:38Speaker 04

  But it was so fucking funny.

• 49:39Andrew Santino?

  But a, but a strict horror. I mean, a strict comedy.

• 49:43Speaker 04

  Yeah, I don't-

• 49:43Speaker 01

  In here, we pour whiskey.

• 53:02Speaker 04

  I mean, it's, uh, it's, I don't know.

• 53:05Andrew Santino?

  Doesn't that feel weird? We work in comedy. You literally write a comedy show.

• 53:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, so I'm like, why would I want to?

• 53:12Andrew Santino?

  Why would I want to go see that? I know, but we used to do it all the time. So have we lost that thing, that like love for the?

• 53:17Speaker 04

  No.

• 53:17Andrew Santino?

  It just, it's not there.

• 53:18Speaker 04

  You just, it's work. So it's like, why would I go home from work to work?

• 53:23Andrew Santino?

  See, that's, that's how I feel oftentimes when someone's like, have you seen this special? Did you see this person's special? And I'm like, I don't know. I'm thinking about my work. We're selfish, so it's hard to like then see someone else's work.

• 53:33Speaker 04

  And I don't want to really be that influenced by it.

• 53:36Andrew Santino?

  No, that's the scariest part.

• 53:37Speaker 04

  I don't really want to like, I want to focus on my shit and then, you know.

• 53:43Andrew Santino?

  It's less about jealousy. I think people think it's like, sometimes when you see someone live, you go, oh, I wish I wrote that joke because I like that concept so much.

• 53:51Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 53:51Andrew Santino?

  But most of the time it's, I don't want that to tickle my brain. Like, say like, I see someone that I really like.

• 53:57Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 53:57Andrew Santino?

  At the cellar or something at the store or whatever, and I'm in there killing. And I like something that they have, their concept so much that like, I don't want it to lay an egg in my head.

• 54:06Speaker 04

  Yeah, it'll trickle in and then later, like you say it, but you're, you're like, did I get it from someone? You know what I mean?

• 54:14Andrew Santino?

  Or you say, yeah, even a concept where you're like, there's a piece of that that I already had a joke about, but then you'll dig deeper into it and then I'll start to go, yeah, but I don't, but doesn't, isn't that like that thing that they kind of?

• 54:23Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 54:23Andrew Santino?

  And then I get super anxious. I'm like, throw it away.

• 54:25Speaker 04

  I know. Well, that's the beauty of, I think, doing stand-up for a while is you're like, nothing's really that fucking sacred.

• 54:31Andrew Santino?

  Nothing.

• 54:31Speaker 04

  If.

• 54:32Andrew Santino?

  It's all bullshit.

• 54:32Speaker 04

  I've seen jokes that. I'm like, I, I'll look at a joke and be like, I have that joke, you know what I mean? And I'm like, I don't think they fucking stole it.

• 54:42Andrew Santino?

  No, they just, no.

• 54:43Speaker 04

  It's just not that good of a joke.

• 54:45Andrew Santino?

  Well, nothing is that good.

• 54:46Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 54:46Andrew Santino?

  Right? Like, nothing, even, even someone who writes like a perfect, like that Dangerfield joke, like, it's not like he's the only guy that could have wrote that joke.

• 54:53Speaker 04

  Right.

• 54:54Andrew Santino?

  That's-

• 54:54Speaker 04

  He's the only one who could have written it like that, though.

• 54:56Andrew Santino?

  Correct, 100%. But, but someone else could have done something in the same vein.

• 55:00Speaker 04

  Exactly, yeah.

• 55:01Andrew Santino?

  But, but at some point, yeah, that's why I think what's happening new with stand-up now of like, people just throwing stuff up, like you said. I'm jealous because I don't do it, really ever. I mean, I try, I know, I don't post much stand-up, but-

• 55:12Speaker 04

  I think that's great.

• 55:13Andrew Santino?

  I guess, I don't know. I think I should a little bit more, but also, you, you realize there's no consequence. So people just do it because you're like, yeah, it doesn't matter. It doesn't, it doesn't really matter.

• 55:22Speaker 04

  It doesn't, but I, I think it matters in a sense, it doesn't matter in an external sense, but I think it does matter when it comes down to it because like, there is something really fucking special about putting out an hour.

• 55:37Andrew Santino?

  I think so, still, yeah.

• 55:38Speaker 04

  It's been, my last hour that I did was in 2020.

• 55:43Andrew Santino?

  I was just about to say, pan, due to pandemic, didn't it? Yeah.

• 55:46Speaker 04

  And I was like, I remember like two years later being like, I mean, I have an hour, but I, it's not, it's not worth putting out.

• 55:55Andrew Santino?

  You don't like it, yeah.

• 55:56Speaker 04

  It's not saying anything, and I don't, I wanna do something that says something, you know? Not to like make a point, but just something that I'm like, this speaks to a particular time, it's an hour, it has an arc, you know what I mean? That's, to me, important, and that's like what I wanna do.

• 56:13Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 56:13Speaker 04

  It's not how it should be done, or anything like that, obviously.

• 56:17Andrew Santino?

  Right, no.

• 56:18Speaker 04

  But, I think, but it, I don't know, I just like, that's how I wanna do comedy.

• 56:25Andrew Santino?

  I think it's kind of also how maybe we were raised, or a little, in, in the world of comedy we were raised in. That kind of was just like-

• 56:30Speaker 04

  Put an hour out every year, that kinda thing, yeah. It's like, no, that's for Louis.

• 56:34Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's just for Louis.

• 56:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 56:36Andrew Santino?

  In fact, only for Louis.

• 56:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 56:38Andrew Santino?

  Pretty much, yeah.

• 56:38Speaker 04

  Like, unless you have that much to say every fucking year.

• 56:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 56:43Speaker 04

  I mean, I hope you're like, traveling the fucking globe.

• 56:47Andrew Santino?

  Right, right.

• 56:48Speaker 04

  What are you doing in a year?

• 56:49Andrew Santino?

  I don't know how people do that.

• 56:50Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 56:50Andrew Santino?

  Well, when he did it, it was like, very appropriate for some reason. Cause it's almost like he got to open up the piece of his brain and spill it all out, and then so much spilled out that they were like, "Well, I guess we could do thi- we could just keep doing this until you run out."

• 57:02Speaker 04

  Right.

• 57:03Andrew Santino?

  And then, and then, and then time does tell that you can only do that so much. That's not a knock on him at all. That's just, it's a, it's an impossible thing to keep doing.

• 57:12Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 57:12Andrew Santino?

  In perpetuity. That's fucking crazy.

• 57:13Speaker 04

  Right.

• 57:14Andrew Santino?

  So I hope now, after this special, which is out right now and it's phenomenal, and please go watch the motherload, please. And tell your fucking friends, and keep it in the algorithm, and, and comment and like it and do all the shit.

• 57:24Speaker 04

  Cause attention is money now.

• 57:26Andrew Santino?

  That's all we, that's all we need. We need your attention, please.

• 57:30Speaker 04

  It really is, though.

• 57:31Andrew Santino?

  But it is so, it is so sad that you put together this piece, you put it up on the internet. I know it's good, cause I know you, and you have to hope the internet does the internet thing.

• 57:42Speaker 04

  Yeah, I hope so.

• 57:43Andrew Santino?

  Isn't that fucking insane? They're like, "I put all this work in this." Well, I hope this digital fucking world does the thing.

• 57:49Speaker 04

  But you know what? At the same time, like, I have never, and maybe you're similar. I've never like, made anything that I really liked.

• 57:59Andrew Santino?

  Oh my god, no, I've never like, you know, I've never liked anything.

• 58:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 58:02Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 58:03Speaker 04

  Like, but there, there is like, that feeling of the day that you film something.

• 58:07Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 58:08Speaker 04

  You're like, "I like that."

• 58:09Andrew Santino?

  It's fun, yeah.

• 58:10Speaker 04

  So like, that's really why we do it. I think we lose that because we're so busy thinking about the internet and the algorithm or whatever. But that actually robs us of the thing that is.

• 58:20Andrew Santino?

  Of course, yeah.

• 58:21Speaker 04

  It's so fucking fun to do.

• 58:23Andrew Santino?

  You just get that chunk of time that you make it, and then when it's done, it's done. But I feel like that's the best comparative to like, when somebody does, I just bought a piece of art from somebody, a guy that we know. Uh, yeah.

• 58:33Speaker 04

  Let's give him a round of applause.

• 58:36Andrew Santino?

  Uh, his name is, it's Picasso.

• 58:38Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 58:39Andrew Santino?

  And, uh, uh, thank you.

• 58:40Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 58:40Andrew Santino?

  No, I bought a, a guy who's a, who's a comic, who does great art, and I loved his shit, and I was like, "Yeah, I wanna, I wanna buy this piece of art," and I, and he was like, "Oh, awesome dude, like, cool, it's gonna be cool to let it go." And I thought, "Oh, that's gotta be how, that's gotta be how it feels," 'cause he's a comic too, I was like, "That's gotta be how it feels also."

• 58:58Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 58:58Andrew Santino?

  That same feeling when you're painting. I can't paint for shit, but I imagine when you're done, you're like, "Fuck yeah."

• 59:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 59:03Andrew Santino?

  But also you have to be like, "Okay, that's gotta go. I can't think about it when it's gone."

• 59:06Speaker 04

  Right.

• 59:07Andrew Santino?

  'Cause if you do, it's gonna, you're gonna fucking be bummed.

• 59:09Speaker 04

  You're gonna fuck it up.

• 59:09Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you're gonna fuck it up.

• 59:10Speaker 04

  You're gonna look at it for too long and you're gonna fuck it up.

• 59:12Andrew Santino?

  Fuck it up. Just let it go and it's over and it is what it is, and people are gonna like it and people are not gonna like it and fuck it and who cares?

• 59:17Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 59:17Andrew Santino?

  It's fine. It is what it is. Like, that's kinda, yes, 'cause like you, yeah, I've never liked anything, anything I've ever done, ever, ever, whether it's stand-up or comedy or film or television, it's all bullshit.

• 59:27Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 59:27Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, kill me, murder me, spit on me, beat the shit out of me.

• 59:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 59:30Andrew Santino?

  Call me a bitch, loser, fuck you. Yeah. Yeah, murder me live.

• 59:35Speaker 04

  It is, it is just like a thing that while I'm making something, I don't enjoy it. I don't enjoy it. And then finally, like, the day that I make it and it's out, I'm like, "I really fucking like this thing."

• 59:49Andrew Santino?

  I like it a lot.

• 59:50Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 59:50Andrew Santino?

  Give it a day.

• 59:51Speaker 04

  And then, yeah, the next day I'm like, "You know what, this fucking one thing is..."

• 59:55Andrew Santino?

  You fucking pig.

• 59:56Speaker 04

  Or, "Send me the first cut," and I'm like, "This is shit." "This sucks."

• 1:00:01Andrew Santino?

  What were you fucking thinking, dude?

• 1:00:03Speaker 04

  I almost fucking dropped the whole, like, 'cause I did two hours. So I did the first hour, and then a year later I did second hour. And I liked the second hour so much better that I was like, "I don't want the first hour. I don't wanna use that anymore."

• 1:00:17Andrew Santino?

  Wow.

• 1:00:18Speaker 04

  And so I, like, went back and forth with the editor, Kelly Lyons, she's a fucking amazing editor.

• 1:00:22Andrew Santino?

  Shout out to Kelly Lyons.

• 1:00:23Speaker 04

  Yeah. Uh, and she, and she sent me a cut of just, like, just the second hour, and then she sent me a combined cut, and I was like...

• 1:00:34Speaker 04

  Bitch, you really killed this.

• 1:00:35Andrew Santino?

  So she's a shit.

• 1:00:36Speaker 04

  She's really fucking good.

• 1:00:37Andrew Santino?

  She tricked you into loving your own shit.

• 1:00:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:00:40Andrew Santino?

  Which is so funny.

• 1:00:40Speaker 04

  Which actually just says how good she is.

• 1:00:44Andrew Santino?

  Correct, yeah. Yeah, no, no, it's because they're able to find the thing that we couldn't see anyway.

• 1:00:49Speaker 04

  Right.

• 1:00:49Andrew Santino?

  Cause you're not, you're looking at it too close, man.

• 1:00:51Speaker 04

  Right.

• 1:00:52Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's like magic eye.

• 1:00:53Speaker 04

  No, I don't, I don't think a comic should ever be anywhere near their special in the edit.

• 1:00:58Andrew Santino?

  I know.

• 1:00:59Speaker 04

  At least until like a second pass.

• 1:01:01Andrew Santino?

  Don't let Neil Brennan hear you say that. He'd be like, what?

• 1:01:05Speaker 04

  I don't think-

• 1:01:05Andrew Santino?

  He edited, he edited like close to here.

• 1:01:07Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:01:08Andrew Santino?

  At a, at a studio that we know. And I know him, dude, he was wild to watch him, he, cause I was going up there to watch him put his together.

• 1:01:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:14Andrew Santino?

  And he's so meticulous. And I know my, it's just a personality thing.

• 1:01:18Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:18Andrew Santino?

  But I'm so different that like, it gives, it gave me anxiety to be near editors when I was editing stuff.

• 1:01:23Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:24Andrew Santino?

  Where I'm like, just whatever you want, man. Like I would just get so nervous.

• 1:01:27Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:27Andrew Santino?

  And he's like, you've left the room like 10 times, like I gotta go eat or something.

• 1:01:31Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:31Andrew Santino?

  Just cause I also hate the way I look. And you're like, well, that guy, I wanna fucking, just kill that guy.

• 1:01:35Speaker 04

  No, I'm like, give it, if you pick an editor who's really good at their job.

• 1:01:39Andrew Santino?

  Let him do it.

• 1:01:40Speaker 04

  That, that, be meticulous about that.

• 1:01:42Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 1:01:43Speaker 04

  But then let them fucking do their job.

• 1:01:46Andrew Santino?

  Alright, well, I'm gonna, maybe I'll hit up Kelly Lyons.

• 1:01:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:49Andrew Santino?

  Kelly Lyons.

• 1:01:49Speaker 04

  Kelly Lion.

• 1:01:50Andrew Santino?

  Kelly Lion?

• 1:01:51Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:51Andrew Santino?

  I might hit you up, Kelly. Imagine she's like listening to this, eating, and she's like, please don't.

• 1:01:55Speaker 04

  She's fucking awesome. No, she's great. She's fucking great, yeah.

• 1:01:58Andrew Santino?

  Good, well, I'm, uh, I'm pushing my audience very hard to go watch this because of all the people, and I, and I do mean this a lot because you know how much I love you. You, uh-

• 1:02:07Speaker 04

  I do.

• 1:02:07Andrew Santino?

  You deserve it. You deserve it.

• 1:02:10Speaker 04

  Thank you.

• 1:02:10Andrew Santino?

  Everything and anything you've ever accomplished and achieved, and I don't know if we're allowed to say SNL on here, but as a, as a writer. As a writer of SNL.

• 1:02:21Andrew Santino?

  What a dream.

• 1:02:23Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:02:23Andrew Santino?

  What a great dream.

• 1:02:24Speaker 04

  Thank you for reminding me of that.

• 1:02:25Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you did, you did, you, you, you did the thing.

• 1:02:28Speaker 04

  You know-

• 1:02:29Andrew Santino?

  You know how hard that is to do the thing? There's almost nobody gets to do it. Remember that sometimes.

• 1:02:34Speaker 04

  I do, I do, I do.

• 1:02:35Andrew Santino?

  No one gets to do it.

• 1:02:36Speaker 04

  Believe me, I go in there every day and I go, this is a great job.

• 1:02:41Andrew Santino?

  It is.

• 1:02:42Speaker 04

  You did a fucking great job and I know you want to kill yourself, but it's okay.

• 1:02:47Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I never got why those writers rooms were so high up. I was like, put it lower.

• 1:02:50Speaker 04

  It makes sense.

• 1:02:53Speaker 04

  It also makes sense why the windows don't open all the way.

• 1:02:55Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that I know is true. Yeah, they put the restrictor on them. You're like, hmm, interesting.

• 1:02:59Speaker 04

  Although I will say I'm having a much better time writing for Update.

• 1:03:03Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:03Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:03:04Andrew Santino?

  Well, that's more your speed.

• 1:03:05Speaker 04

  I couldn't get, I spent three years in the sketch. I don't fucking know how to write a fucking sketch.

• 1:03:09Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you do.

• 1:03:10Speaker 04

  It doesn't make sense to me.

• 1:03:11Andrew Santino?

  You do.

• 1:03:12Speaker 04

  I can't write it for SNL. Like, I can write a sketch, but not for SNL. I don't know why. I just never got it, you know?

• 1:03:19Andrew Santino?

  Well, it's kind of like, I was never good at multi cam. I tried it a few times. I had directors being like, you're so funny, come do it. And I would try multi cam and I would bomb. And then I'd go on single cam and I was like, this is so much easier to do single camera acting.

• 1:03:32Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:03:32Andrew Santino?

  Multi camera acting was so hard for me.

• 1:03:34Speaker 04

  It's so much bigger, right?

• 1:03:35Andrew Santino?

  It's just, it's just, it's, it's super, um...

• 1:03:39Andrew Santino?

  It's, the irony is it's timing based, but they're like, you have great timing, but I didn't like their rhythm of it. It's very like, it's very like, um...

• 1:03:48Speaker 04

  Broad.

• 1:03:49Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, but yeah, the rhythm is ve- and it's very like keyed into the, the way it's written. So, it's written so rhythmically.

• 1:03:55Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:03:55Andrew Santino?

  Whereas you don't get to pick your own rhythm. When you do single camera stuff, you're choosing the rhythm of your character's delivery. This is like, hey, man, it's gotta be this.

• 1:04:02Speaker 04

  Well, I think why you're such a good actor is that you're really ground, like, you are really grounded. It doesn't, you don't see you like sweating.

• 1:04:09Andrew Santino?

  Trying for it.

• 1:04:10Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:04:11Andrew Santino?

  Well, it's also because I'm not even there. I'm pretty lost when I'm doing it.

• 1:04:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, I think spiritually you're like sort of out of your body and it's, it's maybe deeply sad.

• 1:04:18Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, dude. I'm just like trying to, I'm floating through, I'll be like, just be free, man.

• 1:04:24Speaker 04

  Yeah, you know what I mean? You're like, what kind of cocktail of meds is gonna get me down here? But, but you know, it's part of what makes you great at acting is that you're really, uh...

• 1:04:33Andrew Santino?

  I'm all right.

• 1:04:33Speaker 04

  You're, you're very easy.

• 1:04:35Andrew Santino?

  I just, I just, that's why, and I found that I was good at that. Like, in the way that you've, uh, so comfortable at, at Update, it's like, well, that's your voice. It's like, obviously, your voice. You know, it's like you find what's more, that fits the rhythm of what you do. And I think as we get older too, we stop pretending that we could do the other thing. Whatever it is, like I've realized more and more to be like, "I don't want to do any of that shit. I'm not good at that fucking..." And people are like, "You'll be great at it." And you're like, "You don't fucking know, dude."

• 1:05:00Speaker 04

  Right.

• 1:05:01Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you don't get that that's not what I do.

• 1:05:03Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:05:03Andrew Santino?

  And I know I'm not... Like, uh, I was just talking to someone about doing couch. When you do late night and all that stuff, and it's like, that's, it's anxiety driven for me.

• 1:05:11Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:05:11Andrew Santino?

  I stay, I've, I've stayed away from it. I've never done it.

• 1:05:13Speaker 04

  I can't do panel shit.

• 1:05:14Andrew Santino?

  Creeps me the fuck out.

• 1:05:15Speaker 04

  Panel shit makes me so uncomfortable.

• 1:05:17Andrew Santino?

  I can't do it. It's the same thing. The rhythm is weird.

• 1:05:19Speaker 04

  It feels so needy to me. And I know that people who do it well, like, it doesn't feel like that.

• 1:05:24Andrew Santino?

  I know.

• 1:05:24Speaker 04

  But when I'm up there, I'm like, "Please!" Like, it just sucks.

• 1:05:27Andrew Santino?

  Let me get my joke in!

• 1:05:28Speaker 04

  I suck, yeah.

• 1:05:30Andrew Santino?

  And they're like, at commercials, like, "Rosie, if you could come..." Because you're, you're yelling when you stand, you're like screaming at the...

• 1:05:34Speaker 04

  Like, you seem like you're at a baby shower. Sort of an uncomfortable anxiety swirling around you.

• 1:05:41Andrew Santino?

  I feel that way every time I do that. So now we've found what we do the best.

• 1:05:43Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:05:45Andrew Santino?

  And this is an, an easy transition into truth. And what you do the best is comedy. And go watch Motherlode right now on Netflix. I love you. We end the show the same way. You look into that camera and you say one word or one phrase to end the episode. Make it count, because this is it forever. One word or a phrase that really means something to you.

• 1:06:03Speaker 04

  What about if, what about if I just said the first thing that came into my head?

• 1:06:07Andrew Santino?

  That's what I want you. Go.

• 1:06:07Speaker 04

  Duck farts.

• 1:06:11Speaker 01

  In here, we pour whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey. Ooh, that creature in the ginger beer!

• 1:06:19Speaker 03

  Sturdy ginger. Like them, the ginger gene in the curse. Gingers are beautiful. You owe me five dollars for the whiskey, seventy-five dollars for the horse.

• 1:06:28Speaker 02

  Gingers, oh, hell no. This whiskey is excellent. Ginger. I like gingers.
