But your tickets are still good, or you can contact, contact the buyer that you bought them from about changing it over, or whatever you need to do, but come see me. I'm gonna be in St. Louis slash St. Charles, Missouri, August 7th now, instead of July 24th. We're still good to go. I can't wait to see you guys. Come, come see me.

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

• 0:49Speaker 02

  You with that creature in the ginger beard? Sturdy ginger. Like them, the ginger gene is a curse.

• 0:55Speaker 03

  Ginger's a fugitive. You owe me $5 for the whiskey, that's $75 for the horse. Ginger's, oh hell no.

• 1:02Speaker 02

  This whiskey is excellent. Ginger, I like gingers.

• 1:08Andrew Santino?

  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger. My guest today is one of my favorite people on earth. I say that for all my guests, but I mean once again today, it is the return of Jake Gontan.

• 1:15Speaker 04

  Hey, my man.

• 1:16Andrew Santino?

  Great to see you. What's going on with the Bears this year?

• 1:19Speaker 04

  Uh, I feel I've fallen off on the Cubs.

• 1:22Andrew Santino?

  Really? You're this guy? It's this early. We're fine.

• 1:24Speaker 04

  No, I've fallen off for the last few years. I'm saying this as an overall statement.

• 1:28Andrew Santino?

  Oh, that really hurts my feelings.

• 1:30Speaker 04

  I mean, I still love them. I'm just not watching.

• 1:32Andrew Santino?

  It is funny.

• 1:33Speaker 04

  I followed up with all, I didn't watch the NBA Finals. I'm not paying attention.

• 1:36Andrew Santino?

  Really?

• 1:37Speaker 04

  Don't care. I still love the Bears.

• 1:39Andrew Santino?

  Bears, the only one.

• 1:40Speaker 04

  Bears, I read about them. I think about them.

• 1:42Andrew Santino?

  But the Cubs know, huh?

• 1:44Speaker 04

  I want to. I still love the uniform. My father was buried in the, in the, on that stadium.

• 1:49Andrew Santino?

  I know.

• 1:50Speaker 04

  But there's something now with Marquinhos. I can't get it easily.

• 1:55Andrew Santino?

  Well, I have to pay for the MLB, so I have season tickets.

• 1:57Speaker 04

  I know, but it gets blacked out.

• 1:58Andrew Santino?

  No, if you have season tickets, they give you the, I get the Marquee app on my...

• 2:04Speaker 04

  Oh, interesting.

• 2:05Andrew Santino?

  And then, and then I VPN it so I can stream always.

• 2:07Speaker 04

  See, the VPN, you've lost me. I don't even know what that means. Besides, it's a sponsor on podcasts sometimes.

• 2:13Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, yeah, it's a... That's exactly right. I use my VPN and my bag of BlueChew, and then I...

• 2:20Speaker 04

  When I go to Zocdoc, I'm not feeling good. Cause the Cubs are the same insurance, but if you wanna really save money, you gotta go to Rocket Money, brother. If you want a good night of sleep, you go to Casper. Cause those mattresses, dude, they're incredible.

• 2:31Andrew Santino?

  They're incredible. And when my back is sore, I really will stretch out on the Hydro Row, which is just incredible water technology for rowing. Because the whole thing is a hat. No, I'm still on the Cubs, but it's funny, one of my childhood best friends came into town, and I took them to a Dodger game, him and his girlfriend. And I was like, um, they had never been to Dodger Stadium, never seen the Dodgers. And I was like, "You're gonna love this." And they both were like, mind blown.

• 2:57Speaker 04

  Positive or negative?

• 2:58Andrew Santino?

  Positive, cause also Dodger Stadium is so much larger than Wrigley. They're used to Wrigley. And they were like, "This is so fucking big, it like goes way..." And I was like, "Yeah."

• 3:05Speaker 04

  And it's gorgeous.

• 3:06Andrew Santino?

  It's beautiful. And then, you know, you get in at sunset, it was a 7-10 game, and then they got, you know, Shohei, uh, they got Freddie Freeman, Apo.

• 3:15Speaker 04

  So many stars.

• 3:16Andrew Santino?

  Dude, they got Shohei had a solo, Freddie Freeman had a solo, Apo first at bat,

• 3:23Andrew Santino?

  uh, and Max Muncy hit a solo. And it was like, they were like, "Is this like this every game?" And I'm like, "Almost."

• 3:28Speaker 04

  It's an all-star team.

• 3:29Andrew Santino?

  So it's really hard for people to like...

• 3:31Speaker 04

  I agree.

• 3:32Andrew Santino?

  It's hard.

• 3:32Speaker 04

  I took my dad to Dodger Stadium, we went to a playoff game before he passed. Um, I don't think I told you this one, but we, uh, he went, and he's used to, late 60s, he dropped acid every day, was in the bleachers. He was part of the real bleacher bums.

• 3:45Andrew Santino?

  Like the originals?

• 3:46Speaker 04

  Originals.

• 3:47Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, not this new age.

• 3:48Speaker 04

  It got, they made a play about it, you probably, they wrote a play in like the 80s with the Second City group, and it was like the Joe Montana types.

• 3:56Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 3:57Speaker 04

  And they like, commercialized it.

• 3:58Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 3:59Speaker 04

  But the real ones were like, not junkies, cause it wasn't heroin. But not guys who party like you and me.

• 4:05Andrew Santino?

  Right, it was different.

• 4:06Speaker 04

  It was, you were like, "Oh, everyday acid?" Not like when there's a concert?

• 4:12Andrew Santino?

  Just Wednesday acids?

• 4:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, where they're like, my dad be like, "Well, I did it every day alone." I was like, "That's negative." You tell the story like it's positive, but that's negative.

• 4:21Andrew Santino?

  That's a negative thing, yeah.

• 4:22Speaker 04

  But, so he was used to, you drink beer, you have fun, you talk so much shit.

• 4:26Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 4:27Speaker 04

  Then at the end, you all roll to a bar together.

• 4:29Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 4:29Speaker 04

  And you care, but what are you gonna, beat up a guy because he's a Reds fan?

• 4:33Andrew Santino?

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 4:34Speaker 04

  Cares?

• 4:35Andrew Santino?

  Care, nobody cares.

• 4:35Speaker 04

  Like, you talk shit.

• 4:36Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 4:37Speaker 04

  But then at the end, you go like, "Have a great day."

• 4:39Andrew Santino?

  Okay, good game.

• 4:40Speaker 04

  Good, who cares?

• 4:41Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you wa- yeah, you wa-

• 4:42Speaker 04

  We went to the playoff game and we had pretty good seats, and he was being so funny, and he's not funny around others. But he was just like in a zone.

• 4:50Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 4:50Speaker 04

  The people around would all be, even the Dodgers fans would be like, "Okay." And I was like, "Well, Crocco's killing it." You know, like, you know when like, older guys had a zone?

• 4:59Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, oh yeah, when they're cru- when my dad is cruising, it's hilarious. After my dad, like, my dad finds, but then the zone also is easy to fall out of.

• 5:05Speaker 04

  Of course it is.

• 5:05Andrew Santino?

  He makes one too many, and you're like, "All right, Dad."

• 5:07Speaker 04

  Agreed.

• 5:08Andrew Santino?

  Don't, uh-

• 5:09Speaker 04

  And they don't know the line.

• 5:10Andrew Santino?

  No, they have no idea.

• 5:10Speaker 04

  They don't know when they're in the zone and when they're not.

• 5:12Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, like Shohei's up and he's like, "Go ahead, this guy, I got him all the way off a bow from China." Silence and everybody's like, "Jesus Christ." And you're like, "Dad, Dad, Dad."

• 5:21Speaker 04

  And then you go, it's like, "All right, man."

• 5:22Andrew Santino?

  All right, that's enough, that's enough, that's enough.

• 5:24Speaker 04

  So funny.

• 5:25Andrew Santino?

  That's enough, Dad. I like when the dads are in the la- they're in the, they're in the zone and then they just dip right out of it.

• 5:31Speaker 04

  One line.

• 5:31Andrew Santino?

  One line.

• 5:32Speaker 04

  And I also love with that generation, when you see the faces changing and you can go before like, "All right." Or it's like, "Oh yeah, he's a real good looking guy, he's the kind of, all right."

• 5:43Andrew Santino?

  All right, all right.

• 5:44Speaker 04

  Stop.

• 5:47Speaker 04

  It's not gonna play, it's not gonna play.

• 5:50Speaker 04

  But my dad was talking all sorts of shit, and it was fun, and then a couple like, true LA gangsters.

• 5:56Andrew Santino?

  Oh yeah.

• 5:56Speaker 04

  You know, with the literal LA on their heads.

• 5:58Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 5:59Speaker 04

  They were talking shit back but smiling.

• 6:02Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 6:02Speaker 04

  But it wasn't friendly.

• 6:03Andrew Santino?

  But Crocco's old, so it was like, what are they gonna, they're not gonna fight him?

• 6:06Speaker 04

  Yeah, I- I swear to God, I had to say to my dad. Stop, my man.

• 6:11Andrew Santino?

  Well, they had.

• 6:12Speaker 04

  You're not reading the signs.

• 6:13Andrew Santino?

  L.A. tats on their head.

• 6:14Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 6:14Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, when the tats are on the head, it does say, it says something else.

• 6:16Speaker 04

  They were doing this shit where they were like, oh, is that right, man? That right, man? But they were like, and my dad thought like, this is fun. And I was like, you're not seeing the real, this ain't Wrigley, homeboy.

• 6:27Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 6:27Speaker 04

  That's the friendly confines.

• 6:29Andrew Santino?

  Correct.

• 6:30Speaker 04

  Yeah. This is a stadium that when the Dodgers came from Brooklyn, they took it from a Mexican community.

• 6:36Andrew Santino?

  Stole it.

• 6:37Speaker 04

  Exiled families.

• 6:38Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, get out.

• 6:39Speaker 04

  And then they were all like, no, and then we put a team there that wasn't from here.

• 6:43Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 6:44Speaker 04

  And now, everybody does love the team, but when it gets tense, it's a different level of tension.

• 6:49Andrew Santino?

  It is.

• 6:50Speaker 04

  So, don't do this.

• 6:51Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I had to explain to my friends too. I was like, we get out of the car, we go right into the stadium. They're like, nobody tailgates. I'm like, they put a guy from San Francisco in a coma, so no, we can no longer tailgate.

• 7:00Speaker 04

  I was like, you don't do that here.

• 7:02Andrew Santino?

  Uh-uh.

• 7:03Speaker 04

  That's not here.

• 7:04Andrew Santino?

  It's just a different vibe.

• 7:05Speaker 04

  It's fun inside.

• 7:06Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 7:07Speaker 04

  But if somebody's not having fun with you, you go like this, I'm so sorry, to, to me, it is just a baseball game.

• 7:12Andrew Santino?

  It's baseball.

• 7:13Speaker 04

  Um, if you really want to win this debate that you guys have more World Series, you do.

• 7:19Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 7:20Speaker 04

  And I'm gonna go home and not get stomped in the parking lot. I love my brain.

• 7:24Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 7:24Speaker 04

  More than I love this, I wanna keep it.

• 7:26Andrew Santino?

  I'm gonna keep my little brain.

• 7:27Speaker 04

  I need it.

• 7:28Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 7:28Speaker 04

  I'm holding on so hard. Don't kill me, my man.

• 7:31Andrew Santino?

  You're using it too much.

• 7:32Speaker 04

  You too.

• 7:33Andrew Santino?

  No, you're working.

• 7:34Speaker 04

  I'm working.

• 7:35Andrew Santino?

  I'm out.

• 7:36Speaker 04

  Fucking.

• 7:37Andrew Santino?

  We talked about it outside, I'm out. We're out, we're done.

• 7:39Speaker 04

  So.

• 7:40Andrew Santino?

  Eh, I'm out.

• 7:41Speaker 04

  Okay, so, outside, we were, I was, and last time we were here a couple of years ago, we talked the podcast game.

• 7:47Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 7:47Speaker 04

  It's helped me a lot.

• 7:48Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, pod game's huge.

• 7:49Speaker 04

  We talked off the reg, you know what I couldn't do that your idea was right, I just couldn't do it? Video.

• 7:54Andrew Santino?

  Why? You don't wanna show your face?

• 7:55Speaker 04

  No, I'll tell you, it's a different, what I love about it, I love being able to do it from my house in my closet.

• 8:01Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 8:01Speaker 04

  But I view going out and doing the thing as my job.

• 8:05Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 8:06Speaker 04

  So I like that this isn't my, it's great money, it's really fun, it's really easy with Gareth.

• 8:11Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 8:11Speaker 04

  But I like that I'm in a fucking closet in underpants.

• 8:14Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 8:14Speaker 04

  And then interviewing somebody, and I have to go to the bathroom, and I'm embarrassed to stand up, cuz they're gonna see my legs. So I gotta go like, alright man, let's everybody get off this zoom. And they're like, well, we got one more caller. And I'm like, alright, everybody wanna shut off our cameras for like a second?

• 8:28Andrew Santino?

  Turn off cams.

• 8:29Speaker 04

  That's what we do here. Well, we do mic only for a minute. I have to get up and literally, I'm afraid you're gonna see the pastiness of my legs.

• 8:37Andrew Santino?

  See, I think that's worth it. I think we need to see those legs. That accelerates you in the pod game. That's what we do. Bobby nudity helped tremendously with Bad Friends. Lots of nudity.

• 8:47Speaker 04

  He took those pants off?

• 8:48Andrew Santino?

  He's, he's gotten nude on the pod constantly. Oh, yeah.

• 8:51Speaker 04

  Um, how's his dick?

• 8:53Andrew Santino?

  Normal.

• 8:54Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 8:55Andrew Santino?

  He jokes that it's small, but it's a bad joke, cuz it's not small.

• 8:58Speaker 04

  He's got a fine dick.

• 8:59Andrew Santino?

  I mean, it's not, it's regular.

• 9:01Speaker 04

  Yeah. He's not King Kong.

• 9:03Andrew Santino?

  Well, you're never gonna look at it and go, um, oh my god. Like, like, that's so weird. You're gonna look at it and be like, oh, it's a regular guy's penis.

• 9:11Speaker 04

  I will say, that's what my penis is and...

• 9:14Andrew Santino?

  A regular guy's penis?

• 9:15Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 9:15Andrew Santino?

  Like, when you're at a stall, uh, when you go to, go to a baseball game and everyone's peeing next to each other, you're fine.

• 9:20Speaker 04

  Yeah, but what I will tell you, for years of my life, I was disappointed that I had like a sedan. Right? Like Toyota Corolla.

• 9:27Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 9:29Speaker 04

  As I've gotten older...

• 9:30Andrew Santino?

  I have an Avalon, Toyota Avalon. Similar, but more sporty.

• 9:33Speaker 04

  Really?

• 9:34Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, my penis is a little bit more sporty than yours.

• 9:36Speaker 04

  No way. I will say, maybe this might be more comfortable than yours. I agree, yours might be sportier, but mine, when you get in the groove of it, you're like, yes, kind of a nice backseat.

• 9:46Andrew Santino?

  It's big. It's bigger than you thought.

• 9:47Speaker 04

  Well, you know what it is? It's roomier than you thought. But not as, there's more storage.

• 9:54Speaker 04

  You can store more in the trunk than you ever thought possible. And it might be cuz I took something out years ago, I was like, I just fucked around in here. You can take this thing out. I don't need the tire.

• 10:03Andrew Santino?

  Oh, this comes off?

• 10:04Speaker 04

  And I just put a little, like, cheap carpet back there.

• 10:06Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 10:10Andrew Santino?

  My, we do have wieners like Toyotas from the late 90s.

• 10:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 10:13Andrew Santino?

  Because you don't know what color that is.

• 10:15Speaker 04

  No.

• 10:15Andrew Santino?

  What color is that? You can't really tell.

• 10:17Speaker 04

  It's, it's what you could never paint to match. If you chip a door, it grows forever.

• 10:23Andrew Santino?

  That's, it's it forever.

• 10:24Speaker 04

  But there was an era, going back to Wrigley, when you see the trough, you see Whoppers. And what gets me is... It's not who you would expect sometimes.

• 10:36Andrew Santino?

  That's actually true.

• 10:37Speaker 04

  And I don't love that.

• 10:38Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, the guy that doesn't look like he might have a hog.

• 10:40Speaker 04

  Kind of like a weasely looking skinny guy.

• 10:42Andrew Santino?

  Skinny guy's always at BitHogs.

• 10:43Speaker 04

  With like a flat brim cap where I'm like, I don't like your style. You're not my guy. And then we go next to each other and I go like, well, that's unfortunate. I apologize for disrespecting you.

• 10:54Andrew Santino?

  The reason.

• 10:54Speaker 04

  In fact, I do like your style.

• 10:55Andrew Santino?

  The reason he has no style is because he didn't have to worry about it, yeah. The guy that's overdressed that looks really sharp all the time, that guy's got a pathetic penis.

• 11:02Speaker 04

  I know, but here's the problem with even that theory. Sometimes those pull out and I go like, why are you wearing a watch like that and you got a walker like that? Just be consistent.

• 11:11Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, like Jon Hamm, right? Like he's got a big old hog. He doesn't deserve that.

• 11:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 11:14Andrew Santino?

  He's so handsome, he doesn't deserve that. He should have a regular dick.

• 11:18Speaker 04

  He should have a small dick.

• 11:19Andrew Santino?

  You should actually get regulate. We should have a government program that regulates your penis based on your handsomeness and success rate.

• 11:24Speaker 04

  I wish dicks were more like a communist country. Where it really was, you kind of knew where everybody had the same.

• 11:32Speaker 04

  It wasn't that like, I don't like how lucky it is.

• 11:35Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 11:35Speaker 04

  I don't like how random it is. I don't like that it's not your body type. Like I would be so embarrassed if I had a tiny dick and I had an NFL or an NBA player's body. Cause you know that happens.

• 11:44Andrew Santino?

  It exists and I don't know where, but you know it. You know it's real.

• 11:47Speaker 04

  That would, for me, a nightmare would be. Mine is I take my pants off of the woman and she doesn't go like, oh yeah. She's like, yeah.

• 11:54Andrew Santino?

  Fine.

• 11:55Speaker 04

  That's exactly what I would have guessed from your vibe. From your body type, the way you walk in space.

• 12:01Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 12:02Speaker 04

  That's what I thought.

• 12:03Andrew Santino?

  Your gait should dictate your penis.

• 12:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, you're also, who you are at like a bar at 1 a.m.

• 12:09Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 12:09Speaker 04

  Is your penis size.

• 12:12Speaker 04

  And mine is, should we fight for one more drink? Or am I drunk enough? Or do we have two more and I make myself bar before I go to bed? That's my penis size. Some guys penis size is, drinking time is done.

• 12:26Andrew Santino?

  I go home.

• 12:27Speaker 04

  Or I, one of these women is gonna come home with me.

• 12:30Andrew Santino?

  Right, that's, that's confident guy. I'm um, get food on the walk, walk home quietly eating it, laughing a little bit once in a while.

• 12:37Speaker 04

  And then, yeah, that's.

• 12:38Andrew Santino?

  That's that my penis size. I taught Luke, my cousin, I said when we left the goat this weekend, I said, we played darts, we love darts and I said.

• 12:46Speaker 04

  You two guys?

• 12:47Andrew Santino?

  He'll come sometimes when he's, when he's um, he's an east side guy dude. He's too cool, he's cooler than.

• 12:52Speaker 04

  Me too.

• 12:52Andrew Santino?

  But he's a young, cool, hip, east side kid.

• 12:54Speaker 04

  Me too.

• 12:55Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I'm buddy.

• 12:58Speaker 04

  You and me got the same vibe, bro.

• 13:00Andrew Santino?

  Sometimes I'll, I'll make my way to the east side, especially after a Dodger game. I'll go over there to go meet up with him and I'll be hammered and I'll just hand him money. Cause that's my, I wanna be young.

• 13:08Speaker 04

  Same, by the way.

• 13:08Andrew Santino?

  I'll just hand him money when he's with cool, young people. I'm like, bye everyone, I'm out of here.

• 13:12Speaker 04

  That's what we, by the way, cause we have to now.

• 13:13Andrew Santino?

  That's what we're supposed to do.

• 13:14Speaker 04

  If we're in, if we go out at this point, it's one of the times I say, one of the reasons I say no to dinners. When people are like, hey, we're all getting a dinner. I look at the table, I go, I'm gonna have to pay.

• 13:23Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, dude.

• 13:24Speaker 04

  That's six people.

• 13:25Andrew Santino?

  I'm gonna have to pay.

• 13:26Speaker 04

  And two of those people I don't know.

• 13:28Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 13:28Speaker 04

  I don't need to spend four hundred and fifty bucks to sit there.

• 13:31Andrew Santino?

  No, I'm gonna pay.

• 13:32Speaker 04

  But I can't sit there with this group and go like this. You guys wanna do cards?

• 13:36Andrew Santino?

  Split, split?

• 13:36Speaker 04

  Yeah. Hey, you, I'm sure you don't have a job.

• 13:41Speaker 04

  Uh, what do you got, brother? They're like, no, I actually do work. I work from home. I'm self-employed. I got you, my man.

• 13:45Andrew Santino?

  I got you, brother. I'm gonna put the card down. So, no big deal.

• 13:48Speaker 04

  And then when I'm driving home, I'm going like, could've had a weird TV.

• 13:51Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 13:52Speaker 04

  Instead, I had like a chicken kebab. That I didn't even love.

• 13:56Andrew Santino?

  Wasn't worth it.

• 13:56Speaker 04

  But that one fucking guy had a lot of appetizers.

• 13:59Andrew Santino?

  Four drinks. You're like, you're getting another specially, a house, a special martini. Oh, wow. Good.

• 14:05Speaker 04

  As a, and I can say this as a half Jewish man. My father used to do a thing that was the funniest thing that, I got to know him later in life, as I've said. And when we would get together and I'd never seen this move. And I hate that I'm thinking the move sometimes. That the bill, he was the guy, I, I got it. Put your money away, everybody. But then when he would see the bill, he would just do a move where he would go like, forget it. Andrew, put your fucking money away. Then he would look and he'd go, oh.

• 14:33Speaker 04

  He'd go like this. Ah, that doesn't make sense. Look at this guy. For this place? And then everyone's sitting there looking. He already said, put your money away. And then he would go. All right, the kid over here, you know, fifteen, and the two, you know, it's like a fourteen, you know. Oh, the steak is seventy and a. And you, he would mumble your numbers.

• 14:51Andrew Santino?

  Know your numbers.

• 14:52Speaker 04

  So, everybody, you'd have to sit there and then he would go. And my kid over here with the appetizers, seventeen, that's twenty. And you would just go like this. Hmm. And it would be like a little tally going up. And then you'd have to go, all right. Then you go, I'm happy to throw it. He'll go. It's not about that. I just wanna make sure it's right.

• 15:11Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's right.

• 15:12Speaker 04

  You little asshole.

• 15:16Andrew Santino?

  But he would pay.

• 15:16Speaker 04

  Always.

• 15:17Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, see?

• 15:18Speaker 04

  And he'd pay for his friends.

• 15:19Andrew Santino?

  See, that's huge.

• 15:20Speaker 04

  But they had a system. So it's why I like people of the same age because really what I believe it is all has to come out in the wash.

• 15:26Andrew Santino?

  It should.

• 15:26Speaker 04

  The three of us went, this guy can never pay. But I'm buying your lunch, you're buying my, we're doing that, and then guess what? In the end, we're gonna be 50/50.

• 15:33Andrew Santino?

  100%, yeah, that works out.

• 15:34Speaker 04

  And I don't care if it's 10 in a row. It will be 50/50.

• 15:37Andrew Santino?

  It will be 50/50. With him, it's no, yeah, we don't, I don't have.

• 15:40Speaker 05

  I paid one time for breakfast.

• 15:42Andrew Santino?

  Why? Cause I didn't have my phone on me?

• 15:44Speaker 05

  No, cause you wanted to like prove a point.

• 15:45Andrew Santino?

  Oh, that's right, cause we were going through something and I wanted, yeah, cause he was, he was being...

• 15:49Speaker 04

  You were going through something.

• 15:50Andrew Santino?

  Well, he's being very unappreciative about something. He was being a little brat. I think that's you were being a brat.

• 15:55Speaker 04

  What was your point of view?

• 15:58Speaker 05

  Um, that it wasn't that, it wasn't that expensive of a breakfast and I was like, I, I understand the gesture. And I was like, that's very fair.

• 16:08Andrew Santino?

  I said, you're paying for breakfast today.

• 16:10Speaker 05

  I was like, I can, I can handle the breakfast.

• 16:12Andrew Santino?

  Sometimes you gotta teach him lessons. I mean, I'm handling the kid money all the time.

• 16:15Speaker 05

  I was like, that's okay.

• 16:16Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 16:18Andrew Santino?

  Hey, welcome to a segment I'd like to call Whisk Ginger Predicts, a segment presented by FanDuel. Well, it's Wednesday right now and the episode is coming out on Friday, but I do not know what happened last night or tomorrow, depending on how much you're into tinfoil hat futures and simulations. But I do think, I really do think what is going to happen on Saturday is gonna change the hearts and the minds of all the people on FanDuel right now. I know the Spurs because they got some home field advantage, although they did lose the first two games. Uh, I do think the Knicks are gonna win, uh, in five. I do think this is gonna be a monumental thing for the city of New York. It's been, uh, 50 some odd years since they've won.

• 16:59Andrew Santino?

  And that's where my, my, my money is gonna go on the New York Knicks to beat the San Antonio Spurs, to finally, finally slither themselves as champions, make themselves some champions. Also, it's FIFA World Cup and I'm telling you, USA vs. Paraguay is going on tomorrow and my money is on USA, USA. And more importantly, in my heart and in my, uh, in my soul is of course Major League Baseball, which I love so very much. Very much. And I'm telling you, I've had a little bit of a struggle with my Chicago Cubs. We were ahead of the major leagues. Then we dropped to third in the NL Central, which is really tough for me. I'm not gonna lie. It really bothers me. It irks me. It grinds my gears that we lost to the White Sox in the crosstown rivalry. But tonight, we're

• 17:44Andrew Santino?

  taking on the San Francisco Giants up in San Francisco. Cubs are predicted to win, and I'm gonna predict that W as well. And I do think, right now, we're just a shade above 500. By All-Star break, we're gonna be six or seven games above 500. That is what I am predicting right now. You can make your own predictions, of course, on FanDuel. You decide. You decide. I'm not telling you what to do, but you decide. Are the Cubs gonna make it to the World Series this year? I don't know. But will we make it? Will we make it to the National League Championship Series? I would love to think so. I really would. And also, the WNBA is moving right now, and the WNBA Commissioners Cup is happening.

• 18:26Andrew Santino?

  Of course, my Chicago Sky took a big L tonight, or this week, that is, when this episode comes out. And hopefully, they'll be able to storm through. And I shouldn't say the storm, shouldn't mention Seattle Storm, because they're getting smushed all over the map. And I wish no ill will to them. But hey, but my money tonight will be on the Valkyries instead of the Storm, because I do think they got it like that. If you're a big WNBA fan, it's heating up over there for the WNBA Commissioners Cup. And finally, in the NHL, a big deal in the NHL. Hurricanes are pushing around Vegas as of Wednesday. But we will see what's gonna happen last night. And then, you know, if necessary, Game 6

• 19:10Andrew Santino?

  is gonna be in Vegas. What a world that may be to see Golden Knights win once again. Las Vegas has a lot of championships on their hands. I am predicting a Las Vegas Golden Knights. Stanley Cup, one more time, etching their names in history. Uh, so you decide, you predict on FanDuel, you decide who you think is going to be taking wins, losses and spreads only on FanDuel. This segment is presented by FanDuel. Wait, I give him a hundred bucks the other night. I give him a hundred bucks, I ran into him for 10 seconds. Cha-cha. I give him a hundred bucks at cha-cha.

• 19:47Speaker 04

  Just walked, said, here's a hundred bucks.

• 19:48Andrew Santino?

  Well, he comes up, I give him a hug and a kiss on the face and I say hello to his friends. And, uh, and I talked about how much I wanted to have sex with a little British guy. He's very cute. I kept telling him, he's like, you kept saying it. I was like, look how cute that British guy is.

• 19:59Speaker 04

  Well, there was something to him.

• 20:00Andrew Santino?

  That, he was really cute. He is a cute guy. Cause he was compact and also like, hello mate, nervous? And I was like, oh, I want to have sex with that little guy.

• 20:07Speaker 04

  I'll tell you something that you and I are similar and is a Chicago thing. When we were growing up, men used to talk about women this way.

• 20:13Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 20:14Speaker 04

  2020, we said, that's not fair because there is victimization and people are getting hurt. I go, I don't want to hurt anybody.

• 20:19Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 20:19Speaker 04

  I'm not into that, but I still miss talking sexual about people. It's all about men now.

• 20:23Andrew Santino?

  It's all boys.

• 20:25Speaker 04

  When I did the show Minks.

• 20:27Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 20:27Speaker 04

  Which was, you know, nudity about the seventies.

• 20:30Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 20:30Speaker 04

  And I was so weird with men on that show. And it was for nobody.

• 20:36Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 20:36Speaker 04

  I wouldn't, I didn't have like a main buddy I was hanging with.

• 20:39Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 20:39Speaker 04

  So I would be alone in seventies costume. There would be a featured extra with his dick out. And then after the take, he'd put his robe on, we'd be sitting there and I'd go like this, like, good on you, brother. That's a great looking hog. And I was doing the joke for no one because I wasn't laughing and they would be like, oh, thanks, man. And then I'd be like, that fucker's great, man. You had that your whole life? And they'd be like, yeah. And I'd go, and when did it fucking explode? And they're like, huh? Did it start as a boys dick and then one day you had that monster? And they're like, it's always been pretty big. I'm like, god damn, you're a lucky son of a bitch. And I'm talking about their bodies.

• 21:15Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 21:15Speaker 04

  The way that my dad and my uncles would talk about women's bodies. Oh, look at that bride. Oh my god. Oh, that fucking ass on there. I would do anything. I could stick my nose in the hole.

• 21:22Andrew Santino?

  And then you're sitting there being like chicken fingers, like, in the butthole?

• 21:27Andrew Santino?

  Your dad's like, I let her fart in my mouth. Look at that, huh? Yeah, that's shitter.

• 21:31Speaker 04

  Can't get more ranch?

• 21:34Speaker 04

  And that's gone away.

• 21:35Andrew Santino?

  Now it's gone, so now it's-

• 21:36Speaker 04

  But now there's a little British boy-

• 21:37Andrew Santino?

  It's cute, he was cute, and so I said, "Go buy-"

• 21:39Speaker 05

  Tom, Tom Bates.

• 21:40Andrew Santino?

  Tom, and I said, "Buy everyone a beer," he was a hundred dollars, and then he comes back, and then, out of nowhere, he go- he elicits it. He's like, "Did you want your change?"

• 21:49Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 21:50Andrew Santino?

  I was like, "No, just, god damn it."

• 21:52Speaker 04

  That's an interesting question.

• 21:53Andrew Santino?

  He knows I don't want the fucking change.

• 21:54Speaker 04

  But what if the change is like forty-two bucks?

• 21:57Speaker 05

  Ew, I mean, it was.

• 21:58Andrew Santino?

  Cause it was cha-cha, it was only beers, only four beers.

• 22:00Speaker 04

  So, that's, that's the right question.

• 22:03Andrew Santino?

  He's from the Midwest, that's why.

• 22:04Speaker 04

  I know, but that, cause if you keep that, then you're being sneaky.

• 22:07Speaker 05

  Exactly.

• 22:08Speaker 04

  But what you can do is tip it, or buy the next round and you cover the rest. I wouldn't ask, I would then make sure this man has a drink too.

• 22:16Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 22:17Speaker 04

  And then the rest goes to his group.

• 22:19Andrew Santino?

  What did you do?

• 22:20Speaker 05

  Well, I kind of assumed you didn't want the change, but I figured I might as well do my due diligence and just ask.

• 22:24Speaker 04

  But did you ask because you actually wanted to keep the change?

• 22:28Speaker 05

  I mean, of course I wanted to keep the change.

• 22:29Andrew Santino?

  See, that's sneaky, dude.

• 22:31Speaker 04

  That's a little rat.

• 22:32Speaker 05

  If he would've wanted it back, I'm like, "Fairly charged to the game."

• 22:35Speaker 04

  He can't say he wants it back.

• 22:36Andrew Santino?

  No, I cannot.

• 22:37Speaker 04

  What's he gonna go, "Yeah," and then he's gonna go, "There was no coinage?"

• 22:40Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 22:42Speaker 04

  You put him on-

• 22:42Andrew Santino?

  So, it was even. It was, it was sixteen dollars even?

• 22:46Speaker 04

  And what'd you leave for a tip?

• 22:47Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 22:48Speaker 04

  That takes away the whole cool gesture of giving you a C-note.

• 22:50Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's right.

• 22:50Speaker 04

  You put him in an unwinnable situation, man. I need you to take your pants off and walk around on the floor. We're gonna do an elephant walk, you front or back?

• 22:56Andrew Santino?

  I'm back, you know I'm back.

• 22:58Speaker 04

  You know I'm front, let's go, brother.

• 23:01Andrew Santino?

  No, you have to, you have to treat, you have to. My dad is that, was that way too, it was very interesting to always, uh, "I got it, I got it." But it was never, cause it, but it was never nice restaurants.

• 23:11Speaker 04

  Yeah, totally.

• 23:11Andrew Santino?

  I don't think I went to like a nice restaurant until like, you know, something big.

• 23:17Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:18Andrew Santino?

  Like someone graduated, even still, we wouldn't really, like, my parents to this day-

• 23:24Andrew Santino?

  Not a fan of nice restaurants.

• 23:25Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:25Andrew Santino?

  They don't really like them.

• 23:26Speaker 04

  What do you think of them?

• 23:28Andrew Santino?

  They give me a little anxiety. They're a little overrated.

• 23:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:30Andrew Santino?

  You know, like, I like a nice restaurant once in a while for a thing, but we went to a spot the other night, and it's a new LA nice spot, and...

• 23:38Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:39Andrew Santino?

  The food's the same.

• 23:40Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:40Andrew Santino?

  I think they've sold us on a great trick of...

• 23:43Speaker 04

  But they also sell you on the whole... It's like a really nice hotel.

• 23:46Andrew Santino?

  It's always a nice experience.

• 23:47Speaker 04

  Yeah, they sell you on the lobby.

• 23:48Andrew Santino?

  Yep.

• 23:49Speaker 04

  They sell you on the elevator.

• 23:49Andrew Santino?

  You see the valet?

• 23:50Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:51Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, the valet's wearing a suit.

• 23:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, but here's the reality. The bed's the bed.

• 23:54Andrew Santino?

  It's still, yeah.

• 23:54Speaker 04

  But I do like a nice hotel.

• 23:56Andrew Santino?

  I do. I love. I'm a little brat about it.

• 23:58Speaker 04

  Me too.

• 23:58Andrew Santino?

  But that's because we travel, we...

• 24:00Speaker 04

  I was in Austin yesterday, and they put me into Four Seasons, and I got there and I was like, "This is different."

• 24:07Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 24:07Speaker 04

  Because I've been to Austin so many times, and some... When I've had to pay, not at the Four Seasons.

• 24:11Andrew Santino?

  At the Marriott.

• 24:12Speaker 04

  I meant somewhere.

• 24:13Andrew Santino?

  It's right down the road. I know where it is.

• 24:16Speaker 04

  I'm sure I've been there.

• 24:17Andrew Santino?

  Many times.

• 24:18Speaker 04

  I'm sure that's where I am.

• 24:19Andrew Santino?

  Right around the corner. That Four Seasons is right on the lake.

• 24:21Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's beautiful.

• 24:22Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, they're like, "You want a view of the river?" You're like, "Oh, yeah."

• 24:25Speaker 04

  Well, no, I want a view of an alley. Can I get a view of a fucking toilet seat?

• 24:30Andrew Santino?

  The Four Seasons is like, "We don't have any alleys. We actually made sure all of our views have no alleys." No bad views whatsoever. It's all beautiful views. Yeah, you do. Once you stay in those.

• 24:39Speaker 04

  It's nice. One thing I got to say about our first one that we did together was the great Anna Kendrick told me... She was doing something at her house, maybe working on her movie or something where she was like, "I was stuck inside." And she would listen to it a lot.

• 24:53Andrew Santino?

  Really?

• 24:54Speaker 04

  Yeah, and I go, "More than once?" And she goes, "It's less about what you guys are saying and more the way both of you speak." She's like, "It felt very, like, Midwest and very Chicago, and there was a rhythm to it, and it was just soothing."

• 25:08Andrew Santino?

  You know, people say this, that they fall asleep to the show sometimes. They're like, "It's very funny, but I'll put it on at night sometimes when I want to go to bed." Just because they want to hear the rhythm of the...

• 25:17Speaker 04

  That is so funny.

• 25:19Andrew Santino?

  It's kind of like how... It's kind of like how dogs hear...

• 25:22Andrew Santino?

  That's what you want when you're falling asleep.

• 25:24Speaker 04

  Speaking of, you know what I just did on the plane yesterday, and I felt like a real pervert.

• 25:29Andrew Santino?

  I love this.

• 25:30Speaker 04

  And I don't even care, and I am leaning in. So...

• 25:36Speaker 04

  So I did, I'm doing press, I've got two Apple things right now, and one of them, we're doing the movie called The Dink, which is really funny, July 24th. And one of the promotional things, they put those AirPod Maxes on me.

• 25:47Andrew Santino?

  The, oh yeah, the over the ears.

• 25:48Speaker 04

  Noise cancelers.

• 25:49Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 25:49Speaker 04

  Never had them.

• 25:50Andrew Santino?

  You never had the in the ear noise cancelers?

• 25:52Speaker 04

  Never.

• 25:53Andrew Santino?

  Wow.

• 25:53Speaker 04

  All I do is the old school cord connected to the phone.

• 25:56Andrew Santino?

  The wire, yeah.

• 25:57Speaker 04

  Cause it's, I like it, I'm used to it, but.

• 25:59Andrew Santino?

  You listened to Kamala Harris talk about that, didn't you? Do you not know this clip?

• 26:03Speaker 04

  No.

• 26:03Andrew Santino?

  The people are like, why do you have wired headphones? She's like, let me tell you something, if you think they can't hack into your headphones, you're crazy.

• 26:08Speaker 04

  She's not wrong.

• 26:09Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I know, she's right, I know. It made half of the country be like, I'm gonna get the wires, I'm gonna get the wires.

• 26:13Speaker 04

  That's exactly right.

• 26:14Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, I'm gonna get the wires.

• 26:15Speaker 04

  But so, I did this promotional thing, and then I said like, oh wait, if I'm in a commercial for these AirPod Maxes, they gotta send me a free one.

• 26:21Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 26:22Speaker 04

  I was like, it's a funny promotional clip, cause you're interviewing people, but the two can't hear.

• 26:26Andrew Santino?

  Oh, that's.

• 26:27Speaker 04

  So I was like, this is one of those like Jimmy Fallon gags.

• 26:29Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 26:29Speaker 04

  But I'm like, this one was pretty funny.

• 26:31Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it was good.

• 26:32Speaker 04

  I had kinda like a bitchy attitude at the start, but then when you say to like Aaron Chen, I go, tell me about the movie, and he goes, "I think you're asking me about what food I had!" And I'm like, this is funny. I can't lose. But so I said, will you send me some of those, please? So they did, and I had them, and I was like, yeah, I got these fucking cool Maxes, whatever, I put them on. My kids taught me how to do the noise cancelling, and instantly it just goes like.

• 26:53Andrew Santino?

  It's crazy.

• 26:54Speaker 04

  So I started listening to AS, uh, ASMR.

• 26:58Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 26:58Speaker 04

  Of, uh, women's voices talking to you as if they are like a sexy mother telling you, you did good. And I don't know, I'm gonna pretend I started it as a joke, but it wasn't a joke.

• 27:11Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 27:12Speaker 04

  I was like, I'm tired on this plane, I put it on, I was like, yeah, I'm listening to some cool music, jazz is cool, I'm cool, and I was like, nah. I had three hours on this fucking thing, how many songs can I really listen to?

• 27:22Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 27:23Speaker 04

  I'm not a music guy, I'm not like listening to the notes.

• 27:26Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 27:27Speaker 04

  So I went on Spotify, I went like, ASMR, and then what, and then it was like R-rated, and it was like blowjob sounds, I was like, this is disgusting. I don't need to hear like.

• 27:35Speaker 04

  You need that surround sound?

• 27:36Andrew Santino?

  Imagine it's just the guy going, oh, oh. It's not her at all, it's just.

• 27:41Speaker 04

  You mean porno? This whole generation of like alpha males being like, dude, I love porn, and you just love watching fucking hogs screaming at. This is the

• 27:51Andrew Santino?

  Hold on hog, pause. Hold for hog?

• 27:54Speaker 04

  Yeah, just everybody's now so, because of the availability of porn, we're all so comfortable coming to

• 27:59Andrew Santino?

  Penises, having

• 28:00Speaker 04

  Oh yeah. Like, you tell me that when I was growing up? Not in a million years, brother. When you're growing up, looking at like a JCPenney catalog of a woman in lingerie, it's like, the way a whole generation of men are gonna have orgasms is when a bunch of hogs are around one woman. You go like this. Is that real life? That's the future?

• 28:18Andrew Santino?

  Twenty dicks, one girl.

• 28:20Speaker 04

  And that's what we all want.

• 28:22Andrew Santino?

  Almost all dicks. The girls there just because.

• 28:24Speaker 04

  I'm so sorry, but I'm a, just a caveman from another era. Why do all these men like this? If, it's all penises.

• 28:31Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 28:31Speaker 04

  Yeah, it is.

• 28:32Andrew Santino?

  All penises, all the time.

• 28:33Speaker 04

  Dude, it's fucking, she's loving it.

• 28:34Andrew Santino?

  She loves it.

• 28:35Speaker 04

  Sure she is, but what are you loving about seeing all these dicks?

• 28:38Andrew Santino?

  I love that she loves it. That's what I love.

• 28:42Speaker 04

  Okay, so your point of view of her?

• 28:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 28:44Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm. That's what I'm hearing.

• 28:47Speaker 04

  But so I start listening to this.

• 28:49Andrew Santino?

  What's the name of it? Can we say it?

• 28:51Speaker 04

  I don't, it was like, you know, mother's helper, something stupid like that. I have no idea. The first thing that came up that wasn't literally this. Jesus, get out of my ears. It's everywhere.

• 29:02Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's all around you.

• 29:03Speaker 04

  And I did, I closed the eyes. I was like, let's just zone out. Starts off and comedically, I was like, I'm making fun of this. I'm in on the joke, even though I was alone. I was like, this is so funny. But it was like a woman's voice being like, oh, you're such a good boy. You're so, you did so good today. And I was like, I need to hear this.

• 29:24Speaker 04

  Ten minutes in, I'm like lighting in the dark. I'm like, the, you know, flight attendant walks by, something to drink. I'm like,

• 29:30Andrew Santino?

  You didn't hear that, did you?

• 29:32Speaker 04

  Was that on speaker?

• 29:36Speaker 04

  It's just like, but I was like, oh, this is a whole new world.

• 29:40Andrew Santino?

  I'm now I'm gonna explore this. ASMR of women, of a mommy.

• 29:44Speaker 04

  Be like, cause what it is, and I know we have the same issues.

• 29:49Speaker 04

  Oh, hey, I wish dicks were the same. The only thing that is accurate are men's issues.

• 29:54Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah.

• 29:54Speaker 04

  Men see other men's issues really fast.

• 29:56Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 29:57Speaker 04

  You're one of me.

• 29:58Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 29:58Speaker 04

  Yeah. Sucks, huh?

• 29:59Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 30:02Speaker 04

  But hearing like a woman's voice that is this like fictional type of mother. That's like so nice and so I'm like, that'd be cool if that existed.

• 30:13Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. I'd love to hear that.

• 30:14Speaker 04

  Some people get that growing up?

• 30:16Andrew Santino?

  All the time.

• 30:17Speaker 01

  In here, we pour whiskey.

• 31:48Andrew Santino?

  Hey, I want to tell you about Rula because I believe that you need to rule, uh, your emotions. Hey, you like that? Uh, I believe in therapy. I've talked about it very, very much on many. Shows across many platforms. I do think that talking to someone is very helpful. And online therapy should be easier to get, easier to pay for, easier to do, and make you feel less anxiety than you already feel, and that's probably why you're going in the first place. A lot of people want to take care of their mental health and they keep putting it off. I deal with it, and it's been tough throughout the years to find time, but I'm telling you, someone like Rula is going to get you where you need to go, because it doesn't have to be that way anymore. Getting help with Rula is easier than talking yourself out of it. First is the cost. The cost can be the biggest blocker.

• 32:32Andrew Santino?

  A lot of Rula's sessions cost an average of $15 with insurance to show you your cost upfront. It actually does work, focuses on quality care, and finding the right therapist is huge, okay? Insurance, availability, different types of providers are all there. It's got all the care that you need. That access is there. They simplify every single part of it. So, instead of overthinking it, you can actually take the very first step. If you're ready to stop talking yourself out of finding care and making progress, then head to rula.com, that's R-U-L-A dot com, and take the first step.

• 33:07Speaker 04

  I just saw the movie Obsession.

• 33:09Andrew Santino?

  Dude, everybody.

• 33:10Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 33:10Andrew Santino?

  I'm the only one that hasn't seen it.

• 33:12Speaker 05

  I'm gonna see it on my birthday.

• 33:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 33:13Andrew Santino?

  I'll take you to go. We'll go, because I gotta see it. $180 million, that kid?

• 33:16Speaker 04

  That's, what does that mean?

• 33:18Andrew Santino?

  The movie's gonna make $180 million.

• 33:20Speaker 04

  And it cost a million to make.

• 33:21Andrew Santino?

  $750, they said.

• 33:22Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 33:22Speaker 04

  Yeah. Well, I'll tell you-

• 33:24Andrew Santino?

  I'm really annoyed by this though, by the way.

• 33:25Speaker 04

  You are?

• 33:26Andrew Santino?

  This is giving people a lot of hope.

• 33:27Speaker 05

  I'm like, don't- We need it.

• 33:29Andrew Santino?

  We do, but I'm also like, hey, everyone in the world, don't think that this is a real, this is an anomaly.

• 33:34Speaker 04

  Yeah, but I also think-

• 33:35Andrew Santino?

  This is LeBron James.

• 33:37Speaker 04

  I kinda see it a little bit differently in that, I know everyone's so scared, this is what the business does, man. It bobs and weaves.

• 33:44Andrew Santino?

  I know. It's good. It's a good thing.

• 33:46Speaker 04

  It's great, but also like-

• 33:47Andrew Santino?

  I don't want everybody to think they're gonna make a million dollar movie and it's gonna make 180 million.

• 33:50Speaker 04

  No, but here's what I will tell you from a guy who's made a lot of million dollar movies. You can make money on it.

• 33:54Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 33:55Speaker 04

  You're not gonna make 180 million.

• 33:57Andrew Santino?

  Oh, but those guys did.

• 33:58Speaker 04

  But guess what? If that happens, great.

• 34:01Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, good for you.

• 34:01Speaker 04

  Because now, rather than making a million five profit, you might make two and a half.

• 34:05Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 34:06Speaker 04

  This is real money.

• 34:07Andrew Santino?

  It's good.

• 34:08Speaker 04

  And I think their whole movie, I think they shot it in 18 days or something crazy. So it's like, you don't have to spend nine months making a movie in Budapest.

• 34:16Andrew Santino?

  My wife asked me last night, we were sitting in bed- Scrolling, doom scrolling through Netflix, Apple, ba-da-da, Amazon, da-da-da. We do it every night, same thing, and then we always end up watching a documentary about the Hindenburg. And

• 34:31Andrew Santino?

  we did. I said that yesterday. And we're doom scrolling and she was like, about that obsession movie. She's like, how did it gain so much traction? She's like, what is it about it that got into the zeitgeist of the thing? And I was like, I don't know, I don't, I can't even tell you.

• 34:43Speaker 04

  I'll tell you what I think, and I don't know that answer, but the thing that, because I wa- my kid loves horror movies. So, I don't, I've never been into it, but in the last couple of years, I go with her now.

• 34:52Andrew Santino?

  Is it jump scare?

• 34:54Speaker 04

  No, I think-

• 34:54Andrew Santino?

  Ah, like that? No.

• 34:56Speaker 04

  I think what it was that made that so good was the main woman's performance.

• 35:00Andrew Santino?

  She's that good?

• 35:01Speaker 04

  She does, it's a really hard part.

• 35:04Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 35:04Speaker 04

  And she does it really well.

• 35:06Andrew Santino?

  She's super obsessed with this man who wishes it upon this relationship, right?

• 35:10Speaker 04

  Who she is as a person is, she's cool, she kind of friendzoned a guy. She ain't into him, but she's the girl that you're like, "I'm totally in love with." And she ain't into you.

• 35:21Andrew Santino?

  Until-

• 35:21Speaker 04

  And then he does this thing, and now, she's both.

• 35:24Andrew Santino?

  That's great.

• 35:25Speaker 04

  And so, she does it in a way where you're like, that's your fantasy of the person you want is not totally into you, and then you're like, "Ain't great."

• 35:33Andrew Santino?

  Be careful what you wish for.

• 35:34Speaker 04

  It's all it is. It's big.

• 35:36Andrew Santino?

  It's what? Monkey's paw? Monkey's paw, yeah. Well, good for him.

• 35:39Speaker 05

  The director was like, you know, yeah, he was in comedy and-

• 35:42Andrew Santino?

  Wasn't he like a YouTube guy?

• 35:43Speaker 05

  Yeah, he do a lot of YouTube sketch stuff, and he was, I think it says on his ID, he was in an episode of Dave.

• 35:48Speaker 04

  Oh, really?

• 35:49Andrew Santino?

  He did it, yeah, oh, well, yeah.

• 35:51Speaker 04

  Well, it's the, it's the Young Turks.

• 35:53Andrew Santino?

  Same career path.

• 35:54Speaker 04

  The Young Turks, man. They're here.

• 35:56Andrew Santino?

  And they're, no, no, it's good. I mean, good, good on him. I saw his face on stuff before, but I didn't really know anything about him, but he did an episode of Dave, look it up, that's incredible.

• 36:05Speaker 05

  That's what it says, I just Googled him.

• 36:07Speaker 04

  Well, Tao, speaking of-

• 36:08Andrew Santino?

  Wow.

• 36:09Speaker 04

  What are you doing professionally?

  You're great in the game.

• 36:18Andrew Santino?

  I'm Mr. Podcast, Mr. and stand-up, it's the two, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna stick to these two things that I love.

• 36:23Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 36:24Andrew Santino?

  I don't want to do the thing anymore.

• 36:26Speaker 04

  And tell me why, because you don't love it.

• 36:29Andrew Santino?

  I just don't love it.

• 36:30Speaker 04

  Okay, so when you-

• 36:31Andrew Santino?

  I'm supposed to do a thing with our friend, Lamorne.

• 36:34Speaker 04

  What's the thing?

• 36:35Andrew Santino?

  It's a thing? I don't think we're gonna do it.

• 36:38Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:39Andrew Santino?

  I mean, who knows? Maybe.

• 36:40Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, the whole development of it all.

• 36:42Andrew Santino?

  But it just, I was like, maybe we'll do it.

• 36:43Speaker 04

  I agree, who knows?

• 36:44Andrew Santino?

  Maybe we'll do, I mean, and I like him a lot.

• 36:46Speaker 04

  He's the best.

• 36:47Andrew Santino?

  I always wanna see what car he's driving, you know?

• 36:50Speaker 04

  The sad thing about him, dude, and this is real, and I, you know.

• 36:53Andrew Santino?

  Say something mean about him right now.

• 36:54Speaker 04

  Cut this out, obviously.

• 36:57Speaker 04

  He creates fake charities.

• 36:59Andrew Santino?

  What does that mean?

• 37:00Speaker 04

  So, we just did Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. His charity, he pockets the money and gets, uh, he leases.

• 37:07Speaker 04

  But hey, man, you gotta cut that shit out. I can't, that can't be, he's a sweet guy, but all his charities are about like, you know, kids in another country.

• 37:15Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, what country?

• 37:15Speaker 04

  Schools, I don't know.

• 37:16Andrew Santino?

  He's like Malta. Like, what do you know about Malta? He's like, we're taking care of the kids over there, man. Where is it? It's way out.

• 37:23Speaker 04

  He's like, I don't know, I've got somebody who runs it for me. And then all of a sudden, he pulls up in a new car. And he would never tell anyone, and this, you know, obviously, this can't be on the She Show.

• 37:33Speaker 04

  He says to me in confidence. He goes, "I love fucking over pork heads."

• 37:41Speaker 04

  I was like, "It's so disgusting."

• 37:43Andrew Santino?

  But that does sound, that sounds like him.

• 37:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 37:45Andrew Santino?

  That does sound like Lamar.

• 37:46Speaker 04

  The goal, what you're portraying is Robin Hood, and he goes, "But it's the opposite."

• 37:49Andrew Santino?

  Oh, wow.

• 37:51Speaker 04

  And I was like, "That's really dark." Anyway.

• 37:53Andrew Santino?

  That's him, though. But that's him in a nutshell.

• 37:55Speaker 04

  That's who he really is.

• 37:56Andrew Santino?

  Oh, that's sad.

• 37:57Speaker 04

  It's disgusting. But, so you're walking, so, when we say we're walking away from the business.

• 38:04Andrew Santino?

  I'm not really walking away, I'm just, I'm just, I'm, I'm just, uh...

• 38:07Speaker 04

  But are you, is it a secret play that you're like, "I don't wanna do the dance."

• 38:11Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 38:11Speaker 04

  Okay. So, do you, so here's what's happened, here's how we've been different. Last time I was here, I think I was promoting a movie that I wrote and directed. I think that's what it was.

• 38:17Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it was.

• 38:18Speaker 04

  I haven't done any real writing since, or any directing, and I have no desire to right now.

• 38:23Andrew Santino?

  You're why you're burnt.

• 38:24Speaker 04

  I was so tired.

• 38:26Andrew Santino?

  You did, you told me how exhausted, you were like, "I, I don't even know, I don't feel like me anymore."

• 38:30Speaker 04

  I don't feel, I hated the whole game. I am now going back to just being an actor.

• 38:35Andrew Santino?

  It's great. Well, you're great, so it's, why not, that's perfect.

• 38:37Speaker 04

  But I get called, I get the opportunity, I decide if I wanna do it. I, in my contract, I'll say like, "The days I can work."

• 38:45Andrew Santino?

  Great.

• 38:45Speaker 04

  You show up like, maximum pleasure guaranteed, the one I'm promoting right now. It's really Tatiana Show, the main woman. She's excellent. She's a very good, she's a real actor.

• 38:53Andrew Santino?

  Mansley.

• 38:54Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 38:54Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, she's phenomenal.

• 38:55Speaker 04

  She's a great actor.

• 38:56Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, she's phenomenal.

• 38:57Speaker 04

  She and I, and it's me, her, and this woman, Jessie Hodges, who's a great actor.

• 39:00Andrew Santino?

  Oh yeah, also good.

• 39:01Speaker 04

  Great.

• 39:02Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 39:02Speaker 04

  My whole thing is I'm going through divorce with Tatiana, and now I cheated on Tatiana and I'm with Jessie.

• 39:09Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 39:10Speaker 04

  And we're going through a custody battle. I show up to New York, David Gordon Green directed. We fight for a day and a half, and then I fly home. No one's showing me cuts, being like, what do you think? I'm on no meetings. Everyone's going, do you like this color correction? Color correction?

• 39:27Speaker 04

  I'm sitting here with headphones on, listening to a woman tell me good job. I'm slammed. I've been doing this for four...

• 39:36Speaker 04

  Hello? The fucking nerve you got. Good job, Jay. You're a big boy, Jay. I know I am, I'm an actor.

• 39:46Speaker 04

  But I'm like, oh, this is working for me.

• 39:49Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's fun.

• 39:49Speaker 04

  I was like, this, I'm like...

• 39:51Andrew Santino?

  Back where you belong, maybe.

• 39:52Speaker 04

  Kind, well, in this, you know, every era, we all change.

• 39:54Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 39:55Speaker 04

  Um, I just saw this really funny clip from Maya Hawke.

• 39:59Andrew Santino?

  Hmm.

• 40:00Speaker 04

  Um...

• 40:01Andrew Santino?

  Ethan Hawke.

• 40:01Speaker 04

  Ethan Hawke. I was hoping I was saying everything right. I had no disrespect.

• 40:05Andrew Santino?

  It's his daughter?

• 40:06Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 40:06Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 40:06Speaker 04

  And Uma Thurman's daughter, great actress. She said something really funny. She was talking shit about male actors.

• 40:12Andrew Santino?

  Hmm.

• 40:12Speaker 04

  And it hit home. She said she had heard a woman say that a female actress is a little bit more than a woman. And a male actor is a little less than a man.

• 40:25Andrew Santino?

  That's so good.

• 40:26Speaker 04

  And when it happened, I was like, that is true.

• 40:28Andrew Santino?

  That is very true.

• 40:28Speaker 04

  And a director, Akiva Schaffer, who did, you know, he did the pilot I just did for NBC. So funny, so great.

• 40:36Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 40:37Speaker 04

  He told me when I was directing the movie, he said like, just so you know, directing is dog's work.

• 40:41Andrew Santino?

  Dog's work.

• 40:42Speaker 04

  And I was like, no, it isn't. Like, you're the captain of the ship. He's like, uh-uh. You do all the work.

• 40:46Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 40:47Speaker 04

  You do. And the writer, you're doing like all the rewrites that you don't even agree with.

• 40:52Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 40:53Speaker 04

  You'll get a note that you'll be like, an actor will give a note. And you'll be like, amazing, amazing, amazing. Thank you for that. And like, can I see it in, on the sides? Oh, so literally tonight after work, I have to do homework for your house?

• 41:05Andrew Santino?

  They're like, yeah.

• 41:06Speaker 04

  Yeah. And then you do.

• 41:07Andrew Santino?

  You're doing overtime.

• 41:08Speaker 04

  You're doing overtime.

• 41:08Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you're the captain of the ship and you're also cleaning the ship, docking the ship.

• 41:12Speaker 04

  Hosting the party.

• 41:13Andrew Santino?

  Hosting the party, cleaning up the party. Drive, make sure people get driven home okay.

• 41:17Speaker 04

  Then the, the part that really got to me is then part of your job is complimenting everybody for doing their job. Because morale matters. So then you gotta go like this, hey, hey, hey. Thanks for helping me while I cleaned that party. You did a little less cleaning than me.

• 41:31Andrew Santino?

  And who's thanking you?

• 41:34Andrew Santino?

  Good boy, Jake.

• 41:38Speaker 04

  If I had the fucking headphones then, I'd still be directing.

• 41:40Andrew Santino?

  A hundred percent.

• 41:42Speaker 04

  But that was my realization of like, you know what, just know the lane you like. But I view you as, because you've had a run lately. I saw you in a John Cena movie.

• 41:53Andrew Santino?

  Three years ago.

• 41:53Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 41:54Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. Three years ago. I shot everything three years ago.

• 41:59Andrew Santino?

  Everything's three years. Everything for me is three years.

• 42:00Speaker 04

  But you had a bunch of shit coming out where you was like.

• 42:02Andrew Santino?

  It was just like two years I did a lot of stuff at once and then after that I felt very like, uh.

• 42:07Speaker 04

  What am I doing here?

• 42:07Andrew Santino?

  Not satisfied. I was like, what? I don't even know what this is. Like, what am I even? So we're gonna try to make some stuff.

• 42:12Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 42:12Andrew Santino?

  Well, I guess what I'm saying is, I'm, I just, we're gonna make stuff on our own a little bit. Cause I think we made this karate ghost thing. I'm gonna send it to you after this. I think the, um, that's fine.

• 42:20Speaker 04

  Sorry.

• 42:20Andrew Santino?

  I think the, uh, um.

• 42:23Speaker 04

  I tried squeezing it in a tight spot.

• 42:24Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it didn't make sense. I do think it does fit.

• 42:27Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 42:28Andrew Santino?

  But it's okay. Good boy, Jake. Back on. Anytime you feel uncomfortable, you know what?

• 42:34Speaker 04

  Just give me two minutes.

• 42:35Andrew Santino?

  Someone gives you notes on set. They're like, Jake, that wasn't the take we liked. And you're like.

• 42:39Speaker 04

  I, I pretend I have the thing where I need headphones on around in the big crowds.

• 42:43Andrew Santino?

  You're like, I just, it's a, what is it called?

• 42:45Speaker 04

  Sensory overload.

• 42:46Andrew Santino?

  Sensory overload, yeah.

• 42:47Speaker 04

  I'm so sorry, I'm good. And then they go like, oh, he needs quiet. And then somebody's like, does he have a boner?

• 42:53Speaker 04

  Oh, he sucks.

• 42:53Andrew Santino?

  Slowly scratching his leg.

• 42:55Speaker 04

  He, he's not a good person. And I'm like, I'm so sorry, but in this crowd, I just.

• 43:01Speaker 04

  That dude genuinely sucks. He's a bad person.

• 43:06Andrew Santino?

  We're gonna, I'm gonna send it to you, we're just gonna make our own stuff. I think we're gonna...

• 43:10Speaker 04

  But is that why, is that because you got bored in like, development?

• 43:14Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, well that one, that part sucks.

• 43:16Speaker 04

  You're just like, hearing it, cuz I-

• 43:17Andrew Santino?

  I'm just tired of, I'm just tired of, um...

• 43:22Andrew Santino?

  Uh... Singing for the supper, when I'm like, well I can make my own food.

• 43:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, that makes sense.

• 43:28Andrew Santino?

  I'll just go make my own food. I got, I guess I got tired of being like, "Hey, hey!"

• 43:32Speaker 04

  What about me?

• 43:32Andrew Santino?

  "You like, do you like this? You like this?"

• 43:34Speaker 04

  Totally.

• 43:34Andrew Santino?

  Now we're like, "Hey, we'll just make it, and if the fans love it, awesome."

• 43:37Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 43:37Andrew Santino?

  And if someone else likes it too, and the business is like, "We, we would like to work with you on this," it's like, "Great." Or we can just go, "We're okay, we'll just keep doing it on our own."

• 43:44Speaker 04

  So you feel, so the beauty of the podcast world, which I've now also learned, is you do have a direct link to the audience.

• 43:49Andrew Santino?

  The peeps are there, they're seeing it, they like it.

• 43:51Speaker 04

  They like it, they're, I got it too with "We're Here to Help," I forgot to mention the last one.

• 43:55Andrew Santino?

  Love "We're Here to Help."

• 43:56Speaker 04

  Thanks, bro, you were great on it.

• 43:57Andrew Santino?

  You guys are so fucking funny, man.

• 43:58Speaker 04

  You know, that was, when we started doing that podcast, it was you and I were talking too.

• 44:02Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 44:03Speaker 04

  And it is, it's a direct link to a base.

• 44:06Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, to people that, that want to consume more of your shit.

• 44:08Speaker 04

  This, and they're like, "I like this."

• 44:09Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 44:10Speaker 04

  So you're like, really fun. But the only thing I like about the business of it, and mind you, we might have had younger, different goals as younger men.

• 44:17Andrew Santino?

  Well, yeah, you were much more, um-

• 44:18Speaker 04

  I always dreamed of acting.

• 44:19Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, right.

• 44:20Speaker 04

  And you always dreamed of stand-up.

• 44:21Andrew Santino?

  I dreamed of, I, I mean, my hero, my wife said that to me the other day, she was like, "What was your, what was your idea of it when you were a kid?" Because it's great, I'm not complaining, I'm, I'm happy right now. But, uh, Jim Carrey was like, the ultimate, to me, it was like-

• 44:35Speaker 04

  That's the dream.

• 44:35Andrew Santino?

  A stand-up who gets to do comedic acting, when he wants. And then, of course, it took off in a way that I'm sure even he was like, "Holy shit."

• 44:42Speaker 04

  But that was the dream.

• 44:43Andrew Santino?

  Oh, a hundred percent, is being a stand-up who got to do comedic roles of characters and kind of bury yourself in these things.

• 44:48Speaker 04

  What about like a Ray Romano?

• 44:52Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 44:54Speaker 04

  Thank you guys for- Ray Romano, someone going like, "Hi."

• 44:58Andrew Santino?

  I love Ray so much.

• 44:59Speaker 04

  Me too.

• 44:59Andrew Santino?

  He's the man. No, I, I think like, I just wanted, I was obsessed with, maybe I didn't project that enough. I was obsessed with the idea of burying myself in a weirdo character because I, I really did love that as a kid. I was obsessed with transforming. I think when you don't like yourself, you're like, "I want to be somebody else."

• 45:13Speaker 04

  But also when you, the other thing is, is when you know how to make people you want to feel good. And you go, "It doesn't matter how I feel right now." If they're happy, that helps my Wednesday.

• 45:24Andrew Santino?

  A hundred percent.

• 45:25Speaker 04

  That you go, "Oh, they wanted this version of me? Then I'm happy to do that."

• 45:30Andrew Santino?

  I'm gonna do that.

• 45:30Speaker 04

  That's acting.

• 45:31Andrew Santino?

  A hundred percent. Yeah, that, I think that was-

• 45:33Speaker 04

  And that's really fun.

• 45:33Andrew Santino?

  That was my whole childhood. So I wish, I wished that. Like, the way I, I saw him be Ace Ventura. The way like I saw him be these things, I was always like, "Oh my God, you get to play..." Like, that, that, this is no disrespect to acting.

• 45:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 45:48Andrew Santino?

  It's just, when actors are acting very well, like someone like Brad Pitt, who's a great actor.

• 45:53Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 45:53Andrew Santino?

  Like, say, like Fight Club.

• 45:55Speaker 04

  Yes, incredible.

• 45:56Andrew Santino?

  He is Tyler Durden.

• 45:57Speaker 04

  Agreed.

• 45:58Andrew Santino?

  Right? But he's also Brad Pitt.

• 46:00Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 46:00Andrew Santino?

  Cause he's fucking stunning.

• 46:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 46:02Andrew Santino?

  So, you're so hot that you're like, "I can't help it."

• 46:05Speaker 04

  Agreed.

• 46:06Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. So with Jim, it was like, I saw a man become another human being. And I was obsessed. It like blew my mind. I was like, "You can be another person? A whole fucking different..." And your face looks different and everything looks different. And that kind of turned me on.

• 46:20Speaker 04

  Same, but, by the way, same. But I feel that way less with movies and more with TV.

• 46:25Andrew Santino?

  Well, TV has more ability to do it now.

• 46:26Speaker 04

  Because, well, you also have 80 episodes. So what I love is people deep down just think you are the character.

• 46:32Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 46:32Speaker 04

  And when they like a show enough, they're like, "You guys didn't even have to act."

• 46:36Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 46:36Speaker 04

  You're like, "Well, that's the compliment."

• 46:38Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 46:38Speaker 04

  Cause that was, that's, when I watched Cheers growing up, I really believed that bar existed.

• 46:43Andrew Santino?

  Oh, me too.

• 46:44Speaker 04

  And I really thought like, "That's awesome."

• 46:46Andrew Santino?

  And then everybody I know, my dad would be like, "You know, you know, your grandpa knows, he knows, uh..."

• 46:52Speaker 04

  George Wendt.

• 46:53Andrew Santino?

  George Wendt. You know, he knows him really well. Everybody knows George Wendt.

• 46:55Speaker 04

  In Chicago, everybody, everybody had a beer.

• 46:58Andrew Santino?

  Had a beer with George Wendt. Oh, who went?

• 46:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 47:00Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 47:00Speaker 04

  He's a fucking good guy.

• 47:01Andrew Santino?

  He's a great guy. His brother used to ru- his brother used to own a little sandwich shop on Diversey. Honestly, dude.

• 47:08Speaker 04

  He's a real guy, man.

• 47:08Andrew Santino?

  He's a real, he's one of us!

• 47:10Speaker 04

  Yeah. And you know, it's, I'm happy for a guy like that, cause at the end of the day, he's just a guy.

• 47:14Andrew Santino?

  They talk about him like they all went to elementary school with him.

• 47:18Speaker 04

  Here's what happened.

• 47:18Andrew Santino?

  Every Chicago guy does it.

• 47:19Speaker 04

  Here's what happened in real life.

• 47:20Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 47:20Speaker 04

  George was at the bar because he had a drinking problem.

• 47:24Speaker 04

  And then some guy at the other side of the bar goes like a, "Cubs are sex, George." And he goes like a, "Oh, uh."

• 47:32Andrew Santino?

  My best buddy, George.

• 47:33Speaker 04

  No, he's a good guy, man.

• 47:34Andrew Santino?

  He's a good guy.

• 47:35Speaker 04

  He's a, "That's a sex guy."

• 47:38Andrew Santino?

  I thought, I, when I was young, I thought Ted Danson did play for the Boston Red Sox.

• 47:42Speaker 04

  I thought Ted Danson was a pitcher as well.

• 47:45Andrew Santino?

  I a hundred percent was like, that guy must have been a pitcher at some point in his life.

• 47:47Speaker 04

  And I also thought, ladies, man, but he's not great with ladies because he only thinks about sex.

• 47:54Speaker 04

  And then I thought, Coach and, um, Sam Malone.

• 47:59Andrew Santino?

  Loved Coach.

• 47:59Speaker 04

  Loved Coach.

• 48:00Andrew Santino?

  God, I loved Coach.

• 48:01Speaker 04

  Um, I thought like.

• 48:03Andrew Santino?

  Talk about dating ourselves. All the young people are like, you don't know what that is.

• 48:06Speaker 05

  Uh, Minnesota State Mankato.

• 48:08Andrew Santino?

  Oh, you do know.

• 48:08Speaker 04

  I know Coach.

• 48:09Andrew Santino?

  He does know. He's obsessed with the past.

• 48:11Speaker 05

  Uh, Craig T. Nelson.

• 48:12Andrew Santino?

  Craig T. Nelson. Can't live in the now, the kid. He is incredible.

• 48:16Speaker 05

  Uh, Patrick from SpongeBob. Bill.

• 48:18Andrew Santino?

  Do you know his name?

• 48:19Speaker 05

  Bill Fogerbaki.

• 48:20Andrew Santino?

  Fogerbaki.

• 48:21Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 48:22Andrew Santino?

  What a Midwest name is Fogerbaki.

• 48:24Speaker 04

  Crazy.

• 48:24Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's funny because it was Minnesota.

• 48:26Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 48:26Andrew Santino?

  I forgot about it.

• 48:27Speaker 05

  Minnesota State Mankato.

• 48:28Speaker 01

• 50:16Speaker 04

  But the, but the acting to fully walk away from all that. Now, I get what you're doing, because there's the other thing right now that other people are making things really independent, which I think is cool. And when, I'm like, there is something to that world. But I'm like, but I do like, and I, I think you like it too. I like the machine.

• 50:34Andrew Santino?

  I do. Well, we all kind of love the machine.

• 50:36Speaker 04

  And, but younger generations, I don't think they do. I think they really have a thing of it of like, it's a dinosaur. And I'm like, to them, I'm like, totally.

• 50:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 50:44Speaker 04

  But it's not like, it's the di- like, if, it's, if I, I'm in like silent films, and now there's talkies. And I'm like this, dude, it doesn't make any sense that they're not even talking. And then at home, I'm like practicing like,

• 50:59Speaker 04

  and I'm like, well, I mean, I've just been doing this my whole life. And then, deep down with my wife, I'm like, they don't think they can convey things without words?

• 51:08Speaker 04

  But that to me is the machine.

• 51:10Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 51:10Speaker 04

  And I'm like, as long as the machine has a harp, it's literally one of the reasons I did the NBC thing, because NBC did pilot season.

• 51:18Andrew Santino?

  I miss those days.

• 51:19Speaker 04

  Dude, I miss them so much.

• 51:20Andrew Santino?

  They were really fun.

• 51:21Speaker 04

  And guess what? We did a pilot. And then I was, it was with Dan Gorr, Luke Del Trecci. And I was like, it's an NBC, I was like, it's for sure going, right? And I was trying to get like, people to go like, this is a fake pilot, but it's for sure going. And everyone was like, No, we're gonna have to test it.

• 51:36Andrew Santino?

  That's great.

• 51:37Speaker 04

  And then I was like, I'm so excited about this.

• 51:40Andrew Santino?

  That's a real thing again.

• 51:41Speaker 04

  And then when they tested it, it was like, it tested really hot. I'm like, great, because we were nervous and they worked really hard at it.

• 51:47Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 51:47Speaker 04

  Rather than like, we just picked up ten and then did a writer's room and we'll see. No, we're doing a show, we're testing it, you're putting it out, you're making sure people like it. What they don't, we're making changes.

• 51:56Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 51:57Speaker 04

  I'm like, oh, fucking television.

• 52:00Andrew Santino?

  Like, I remember a girl got fired on my first sitcom. She got fired from the table read, and that blew my fucking mind.

• 52:05Speaker 04

  What was the table read? I've seen someone get fired from tables.

• 52:07Andrew Santino?

  It was at, it was at ABC. It was at one of those like towering ABC buildings, right off, right off the 134, that like,

• 52:12Speaker 04

  Of course.

• 52:13Andrew Santino?

  That big stupid, and we're in the, in the banquet hall. And you have to do a table read in front of like,

• 52:18Speaker 04

  I know it.

• 52:19Andrew Santino?

  A hundred fucking humans and you're like, who are these humans?

• 52:21Speaker 04

  And it's stressful.

• 52:22Andrew Santino?

  And as a stand-up, luckily, I'm used to doing crowds, so you're like, well, I can, I get being, being on for the crowd.

• 52:29Speaker 04

  Right.

• 52:29Andrew Santino?

  But I think some actors don't get being on for the crowd, because it's not part of their shit.

• 52:32Speaker 04

  They shut down.

• 52:33Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, they get weirded out.

• 52:34Speaker 04

  They do this at the table.

• 52:36Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. Oh, or they look, or they look down and they do not look up the entire fucking time.

• 52:40Speaker 04

  They're going like this.

• 52:40Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, they don't want to engage. And I don't, and I don't discredit them, it doesn't take away from their talents, but I saw, you know, this poor girl afterwards, she called me and called another guy and was like, and she's, by the way, done phenomenal for herself, she's fine. She bounced right back, but she was like, was that fucking weird? And both of us were like, it was a little strange, but I think the, the energy was bad too. And it was. The energy was bad.

• 53:01Speaker 04

  Sometimes it happens.

• 53:02Andrew Santino?

  And they, they almost set her up to fail a little bit.

• 53:04Speaker 04

  It happens.

• 53:05Andrew Santino?

  And the lines were bad.

• 53:06Speaker 04

  Totally.

• 53:07Andrew Santino?

  And like, you felt it slowly go, oh, it was really weird. I mean, I did, I bombed my tits off in front of Will Ferrell for a new show, and I remember,

• 53:14Speaker 04

  You did?

• 53:15Andrew Santino?

  Bombed my fucking tits off.

• 53:16Speaker 04

  What happened?

• 53:16Andrew Santino?

  I was at a funnier die read, and for a new, it was a movie that they were doing. And it's Will and, uh, and Adam McKay and blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm in the room, and I am tanking the lines. And I mean, it's just not, the rhythm is bad. Oh my god. And then afterwards, they were like, thanks a lot. And I was like, fuck!

• 53:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 53:35Andrew Santino?

  Like, that, I just,

• 53:37Speaker 04

  I hate it.

• 53:37Andrew Santino?

  You're a good boy on the way home.

• 53:39Speaker 04

  I hate it.

• 53:39Andrew Santino?

  It fucked me up.

• 53:40Speaker 04

  Fuck, dude, that shit fucks me up bad.

• 53:41Andrew Santino?

  But it's good for you, because it, without that, that's what we mean about the machine. Without that, you don't get more strength to like, figure out the faults, or figure out the, you need the thing.

• 53:52Speaker 04

  You need the failures.

• 53:53Andrew Santino?

  You do.

• 53:53Speaker 04

  You need the misses. For me, I need the adjustments where I'm coming in soft and somebody kicks me in the face. And I go like, oh, I thought you guys were being nice.

• 54:02Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 54:02Speaker 04

  I was like, oh, I didn't, I didn't, I thought we were done fighting.

• 54:05Andrew Santino?

  Mm-mm.

• 54:05Speaker 04

  And then you go home and you go like, oh, I gotta make an adjustment.

• 54:08Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, you gotta figure it out.

• 54:09Speaker 04

  I gotta figure it out because, oh yeah, this is the fucking jungle.

• 54:13Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 54:13Speaker 04

  And whenever I get too fat and comfortable, I go like, you know, my favorite thing in the world is any, you like the documentaries about Henneberg, I like them about animals.

• 54:22Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, oh, yeah, okay. You're with, uh, what's his name, Edinburgh?

• 54:26Speaker 04

  Well, I, you know what, I just watched, uh, Silverbacks.

• 54:29Andrew Santino?

  Ooh.

• 54:30Speaker 04

  A guerrilla documentary. And I loved it in a way. It got weird.

• 54:38Andrew Santino?

  You're walking around your house, silverbacking around your wife?

• 54:40Speaker 04

  I've been doing that for a while.

• 54:41Andrew Santino?

  Yeah. A pre, pre-doc?

• 54:44Speaker 04

  But what's happening to me is, and if I'm ever gonna direct another project or write another project, I'm literally just gonna copy guerrilla documentaries and turn it into human experience.

• 54:54Andrew Santino?

  That's, that's good.

• 54:55Speaker 04

  Cause it's the same story.

• 54:56Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 54:57Speaker 04

  And I'm watching, I was just like, this is what I fucking love more than anything. These interactions between these girls, it is the same as us. And then you've got certain gorillas where they're like, like, Jungle was a great leader. He was the leader for more than fifteen years, but like, Ichihua was getting stronger. And then he's like, but Jungle was not an aggressive leader at all. He thought there was room for everybody. Ichihua disagreed.

• 55:24Speaker 04

  And all of a sudden, you see this big old fucking gorilla being like, I got everything. I got the alpha females into my shit.

• 55:32Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 55:33Speaker 04

  I've probably twenty-five kids running around. We got a big old pack on the side, ah! And then Ichihua comes, fucks his ass up, and then they go, now he had a decision to make. That's be a lone gorilla and run off, or start supporting a new guy.

• 55:49Andrew Santino?

  And they did.

• 55:50Speaker 04

  And, well, I would never spoil it.

• 55:51Andrew Santino?

  Don't spoil it.

• 55:52Speaker 04

  But you just start going like, oh, that is so neat. And what I love about the adjustments and talking to you about the game is,

• 55:59Speaker 04

  How long do we get to play? Cause there is going to be a moment when it is over.

• 56:04Andrew Santino?

  Oh yeah.

• 56:05Speaker 04

  And you go like, oh, so for me, when I did the directing thing, I was like, I'm a fine director. But Max Winkler told me something so funny after the cut of my movie. He goes, you want to know the hardest part of directing a feature? And I was like, uh, everything? And he goes, the realization that you're not a genius.

• 56:23Speaker 04

  And he goes, you're just a guy who makes movies, man. And he goes, and the movie's good, Jake, I liked it. He's like, but you're not like a genius. You're not Paul Thomas Anderson.

• 56:30Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 56:30Speaker 04

  You're a guy who does TV, who could direct a movie. You could probably do more. And I was like, I know, I never thought I was one.

• 56:38Andrew Santino?

  Right back to the gorilla documentary. And Jango realizes he has moved on.

• 56:43Speaker 04

  No, he hasn't. I want the one with the lady.

• 56:46Andrew Santino?

  You are a genius.

• 56:47Speaker 04

  Thank you. But I was like, that kind of, for me, I was like, alright, so you can keep doing these.

• 56:53Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 56:54Speaker 04

  But I was like, but if I got X amount of time on the side of the mountain, I'm not going to compete with fucking Jordan Peele as a director. This young kid who did, these kids are doing obsession in that.

• 57:04Andrew Santino?

  Curry.

• 57:05Speaker 04

  Barker? But these are, these are guys who are so technically sound and love that side of it.

• 57:11Andrew Santino?

  Obsessed.

• 57:12Speaker 04

  Obsessed, and they're good at it.

• 57:13Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, very good.

• 57:14Speaker 04

  So you're like, like I had, after my movie, I did a promotional thing. Lamorne and I did it together. I was like, will you help me do some promotion? So I was like, will you interview me for the movie? But we'll do it in your bed and we'll pretend it's at your house. And we'll create a fake series like in bed with Lamorne. And Lamorne always says yes. So he's like, sure. And my buddy Nick Jazanovic was going to direct it. And I thought I was kind of directing the two. And they go, alright, we're going to scout. And I was like, well, fucking skip the scout, man. Just say, and he's like, Jake, I like scouting. And I was like, I'm such a bitch.

• 57:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 57:43Speaker 04

  I like shit all over. And I was like, do I have to go? He's like, you're not directing. And I was like, thank you.

• 57:49Andrew Santino?

  You're a little actor, boy. He's like, you're not doing it.

• 57:51Speaker 04

  I'm going to scout, I'm going to get the perfect location that I want. He goes, do you care? And I go, I trust you.

• 57:58Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 57:58Speaker 04

  I just literally want to go lay in bed and do bits with Lamorne.

• 58:01Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 58:01Speaker 04

  And get notes from you and go home.

• 58:04Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 58:04Speaker 04

  And I was like, great. Now Ichigo has got eight more years on the side of the mountain.

• 58:09Andrew Santino?

  Before Jungo takes back over.

• 58:11Speaker 04

  Someone's coming.

• 58:11Andrew Santino?

  Someone's coming.

• 58:12Speaker 04

  Someone's coming.

• 58:12Andrew Santino?

  A new Jungo is coming.

• 58:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, but you're seeing for your game right now, you're like, I can go direct to my audience. I got a big base. You love stand up.

• 58:19Andrew Santino?

  I love, I just wanna go back to them. I just wanna go back and give them stuff.

• 58:22Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 58:23Andrew Santino?

  It's almost like the beginning of our career, like when I first found out about doing stuff on YouTube or whatever, which is what we did. I did a YouTube show like fifteen years ago, where I played a character at my buddy Dan's house.

• 58:33Speaker 04

  Fun.

• 58:34Andrew Santino?

  And we just threw it up on the internet. And back then, they've got like a hundred thousand views, some of them, and it was like staggeringly, it was crazy. And I just played this dumb character in his basement. I want more of that stuff.

• 58:44Speaker 04

  Interesting.

• 58:44Andrew Santino?

  Just because I get to transform it and we get to just.

• 58:47Speaker 04

  Do it.

• 58:47Andrew Santino?

  And, and also, we're failing live. Like, the, it's, it's not.

• 58:51Speaker 04

  Totally right.

• 58:52Andrew Santino?

  Not super packaged, so we're getting to kind of fumble live with them, which is what pods are too.

• 58:58Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think that is the best part of pods, what I now love about doing my podcasts, is how mad the audience gets at you when you make mistakes.

• 59:06Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, oh yeah, they get real upset.

• 59:07Speaker 04

  And I love how vocal, cuz, you know, I got ADHD, my brain's everywhere.

• 59:12Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 59:13Speaker 04

  So I just like changing the show a lot. And Gareth, such a sweetheart, is at this point where he's like in an abusive relationship. Where he's like, "You're famous enough that I have to keep saying yes, but I've known you long enough that I can say like, 'That's a stupid idea, brother.'"

• 59:30Andrew Santino?

  But you gotta keep trying it.

• 59:31Speaker 04

  But, I, I said, he's like, "Why don't we just," he's like, "I've done podcasts, I do the dolp, it's very successful."

• 59:36Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 59:36Speaker 04

  Let's create a format, and keep doing it.

• 59:38Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 59:39Speaker 04

  And I'm like, "I would rather be the Beatles, and try to make an album that everyone goes, 'I hated that album.'"

• 59:43Andrew Santino?

  For sure.

• 59:44Speaker 04

  And I was like, "'Cuz if I do the same thing, then it becomes a job."

• 59:47Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 59:47Speaker 04

  And then I get bored, and then the audience will go like, "They're talking for twenty minutes before the show starts? Stop, it's boring!" I'm like, "I hear you, it was fun for us."

• 59:56Andrew Santino?

  Right, but it's for you.

• 59:57Speaker 04

  But it's fun.

• 59:58Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 59:58Speaker 04

  And it's okay if it's changing, you'll, we'll see our numbers, cuz the analytics are so fun. You'll be like this, then you'll drop, then you'll find, then you'll, you're like, "Yeah, they got mad at us."

• 1:00:08Andrew Santino?

  It's fun.

• 1:00:09Speaker 04

  And it's fun.

• 1:00:10Andrew Santino?

  Check it out, not watching this one. No thanks.

• 1:00:12Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 1:00:13Andrew Santino?

  I love that.

• 1:00:13Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 1:00:13Andrew Santino?

  No thanks, Santino, not watching this one, dude.

• 1:00:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, exactly, like, "Dude really lost me with that line, didn't think you were that kinda guy." I'm like, "What kinda guy?"

• 1:00:21Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, they

• 1:00:21Speaker 04

  I'm a lot of kinda guys.

• 1:00:22Andrew Santino?

  No, they figured you out, baby.

• 1:00:23Speaker 04

  And then they get so mad and then they'll come back and be like, dude, but when you said that, that meant a lot. Not that I mean anything, we're just all bullshitting. But that fun of it all.

• 1:00:32Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:00:33Speaker 04

  That's not the machine.

• 1:00:34Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 1:00:35Speaker 04

  And, but what's great about the machine is when it gets kicking, I now like all the executives. I now go to the dinners I never went to.

• 1:00:42Andrew Santino?

  Well, you're cruising right now, too.

• 1:00:43Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:00:43Andrew Santino?

  That's it. You're cruising. You're, you're Ichihua dog, you're in it.

• 1:00:47Speaker 04

  I'm an old Ichihua.

• 1:00:48Andrew Santino?

  But it doesn't matter, but they love, but Ichihua still, and we're not gonna give it away for, we don't wanna spoil what really happened, but.

• 1:00:54Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:00:54Andrew Santino?

  But even old Ichihua.

• 1:00:55Speaker 04

  They all got poached.

• 1:00:58Speaker 04

  Cause that's AI. I'll tell you what the gorillas don't have to deal with is fucking technology coming.

• 1:01:05Andrew Santino?

  Technology, no, they're good.

• 1:01:06Speaker 04

  Smoking these fools.

• 1:01:07Andrew Santino?

  They're good, they're okay, we're, I, I, I think it's gonna be okay with us, too. I think it's gonna be fine.

• 1:01:12Speaker 04

  There's gonna be, like, everything else, there's going to be stuff, and then there's gonna be AI products, and there's gonna be, like, I remember, you remember this era, drum machines have no soul?

• 1:01:22Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm. Oh my god, dude. It was on like shirts and shit, too.

• 1:01:25Speaker 04

  Yeah, and it was, could you imagine a band with a drum machine? Because actually, the drummer is the soul, and it was some guy with no sleeves who was the tr- always the drug addict. Being like. And you're like, at a concert, stoned out of your ass, you're like, dude, I could just watch Jeff play. And I'm not gonna watch a computer do fucking Jeff's job.

• 1:01:47Andrew Santino?

  No one could do what Jeff does.

• 1:01:48Speaker 04

  Jeff's dad used to punch me in the face, brother.

• 1:01:51Speaker 04

  So mad, like, a little fifteen year old Jeff beating the shit out of these drums, and then you'd be like, do you know his parents here? His mom is. Yeah, his dad didn't show.

• 1:01:59Andrew Santino?

  His dad didn't show.

• 1:02:00Speaker 04

  That's why he's.

• 1:02:01Andrew Santino?

  Again, he's, he's scanning the crowd.

• 1:02:03Speaker 04

  Exactly. Dude, he can really play Led Zeppelin, he can do all the shit.

• 1:02:07Andrew Santino?

  He was so good, so talented.

• 1:02:09Speaker 04

  But then guess what happened? The fucking drum machines come, and then there was electric, electronic dance music, they have a whole thing for it, a lot of people love it, it's never meant shit to me.

• 1:02:16Andrew Santino?

  Sure.

• 1:02:17Speaker 04

  But.

• 1:02:17Andrew Santino?

  But it's, but it's gonna exist.

• 1:02:19Speaker 04

  And there's gonna be people being like, dude, my favorite prompt is AI movies, then fucking watch them.

• 1:02:24Andrew Santino?

  Fine.

• 1:02:25Speaker 04

  Then there's gonna be people who like other stuff, there's gonna be people who want it direct to consumer. I'm like, it's not gonna change, I don't think, in our lifetime. There's just gonna be other things.

• 1:02:35Andrew Santino?

  It, the change, it will be in our lifetime, but it won't be this like

• 1:02:38Speaker 04

  The end of everything.

• 1:02:39Andrew Santino?

  Ever sweeping, no, no, no, it doesn't make sense.

• 1:02:41Speaker 04

  And they also say that too, and I hate it where people are like, LA's dead, I'm like, shut the fuck up.

• 1:02:45Andrew Santino?

  I'm okay with them saying that, cuz no one's here now, it's great. You're like, yeah, it's dead, go away.

• 1:02:49Speaker 04

  Dead, I'm like, it's paradise here.

• 1:02:50Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, no, it's still very beautiful.

• 1:02:51Speaker 04

  It's also, it's the same.

• 1:02:53Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:53Speaker 04

  And I'm like, good, if a lot of people wanna leave, then go, don't come back, it's fine. But honest, I'm like, if you wanna talk shit about it, do it. Go to a whole other city, bring all your friends with you. But like, I'm over here.

• 1:03:05Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:05Speaker 04

  Cuz it's fucking paradise.

• 1:03:06Andrew Santino?

  It's also hard to move. I just don't, I don't wanna get up and go.

• 1:03:09Speaker 04

  Oh, I love it.

• 1:03:10Andrew Santino?

  I'd like to be able to say, I moved to, blank. No.

• 1:03:14Speaker 04

  No way.

• 1:03:15Andrew Santino?

  It's really hard.

• 1:03:15Speaker 04

  Whenever I'm someplace else, the first day I go like, it's awesome here. And then there's always something really quickly I go like, get me the fuck home.

• 1:03:24Andrew Santino?

  I will say, the one thing, no matter how angry I am at LA or happy with LA, when I fly back home after touring, and ready as you're coming over downtown to go land, there's something about it.

• 1:03:37Speaker 04

  It's magic.

• 1:03:37Andrew Santino?

  I don't even know what it, maybe it's from my youth and film and seeing

• 1:03:43Speaker 04

  I know exactly what you mean.

• 1:03:43Andrew Santino?

  Something in that like, we're coming over downtown, and you're just like,

• 1:03:48Speaker 04

  It's paradise.

• 1:03:48Andrew Santino?

  Look at that, there it is, you know, it's like, that, that's, that sweeping

• 1:03:52Speaker 04

  I'm here.

• 1:03:52Andrew Santino?

  My, I, it's really weird.

• 1:03:54Speaker 04

  I'm in the place of dreams, man.

• 1:03:54Andrew Santino?

  I do that in Chicago too, but that's also cuz I'm going home, and it's like a nostalgic thing, you know, especially when they flip you over the lake, which also I feel like is, I feel like they do that just for you to go, oh.

• 1:04:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, just for the best.

• 1:04:06Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:06Speaker 04

  I'll tell ya, speaking of, I moved, uh, my mother, Eve Johnson, to Los Angeles last week.

• 1:04:14Speaker 04

  She doesn't like it.

• 1:04:15Andrew Santino?

  Oh.

• 1:04:16Speaker 04

  She, uh,

• 1:04:17Andrew Santino?

  Guest house living, main house living.

• 1:04:19Speaker 04

  So, I got a house in Los Feliz.

• 1:04:21Andrew Santino?

  I know, I know, you got a lot of houses.

• 1:04:23Speaker 04

  I'd been renting out for a while.

• 1:04:24Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:04:24Speaker 04

  Uh, and Eve's at the point where I want her here, but Eve's tough.

• 1:04:28Andrew Santino?

  She, she's got, she's set in her ways.

• 1:04:32Speaker 04

  I love my mama.

• 1:04:35Speaker 04

  My mama tough. My mama's of the old world.

• 1:04:38Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:38Speaker 04

  She doesn't fuck around.

• 1:04:39Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:40Speaker 04

  She's, and I'm realizing it less and I'm seeing it more and more. I saw it when my dad died. And I think we talked about this, but man, that whole type of person's going away.

• 1:04:50Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:04:50Speaker 04

  And they're not being filled up. The new generations are coming and we are a certain type. But we're a quarter of what those people were. And they'll consider us characters.

• 1:05:01Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 1:05:02Speaker 04

  And like, no, no, no, no, no. I was the dopey kid from the suburbs.

• 1:05:06Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:06Speaker 04

  These were the fucking, like, if you saw my uncles all hanging out. Now it would be like Goodfellas.

• 1:05:13Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's cartoonish, yeah.

• 1:05:14Speaker 04

  It's cartoon, even the way they dressed.

• 1:05:16Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:16Speaker 04

  You'd be like, cool jacket, Eddie.

• 1:05:21Speaker 04

  Dude, that's a sick ass leather jacket with a perm.

• 1:05:28Speaker 04

  It goes away, but I realized when my dad died, I was like, oh, this generally, when I first moved to LA, my dad was hanging out because they got sober. So he was in all the AA, but it was, everybody, I guess, in AA and NA just like finds their very specific clique in those programs.

• 1:05:42Andrew Santino?

  Oh, yeah, there's a lot of subcultures within the culture, man. And they judge each other. It's very funny.

• 1:05:46Speaker 04

  And who's good at it, who's not.

• 1:05:47Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:48Speaker 04

  And my dad was in a group of car salesmen.

• 1:05:51Speaker 04

  It was like, my dad was the Jew. There was the Mick. It was the Dago.

• 1:05:55Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:55Speaker 04

  And they were all like.

• 1:05:56Andrew Santino?

  That's the Wop, the Jew.

• 1:05:57Speaker 04

  That's how they did it.

• 1:05:58Andrew Santino?

  That's the guy with the limp. He likes black girls.

• 1:06:00Speaker 04

  Yeah, like.

• 1:06:03Speaker 04

  And this guy Gleason from Gleason Ford.

• 1:06:05Andrew Santino?

  Oh, shout out Gleason Ford.

• 1:06:07Speaker 04

  Uh, back in the day, he, we would all go and he was the old head at the table. My dad was probably sixty-five, Gleese was about eighty. Gleese would order for everybody, me included. And he didn't get the orders right.

• 1:06:20Speaker 04

  But he wasn't a real godfather. This was not mafia. It was a generation of people who loved the mafia, but they were not mafia.

• 1:06:26Andrew Santino?

  Right, because they imitated it often.

• 1:06:28Speaker 04

  It was fake.

• 1:06:29Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:29Speaker 04

  They were not genuine tough guys.

• 1:06:31Andrew Santino?

  By the way, this had a reprise with Sopranos. For some reason, people on the East Coast thought that they were also in the mafia again.

• 1:06:36Speaker 04

  But they're not in the mafia.

• 1:06:37Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 1:06:38Speaker 04

  The real mafia has rules and structure.

• 1:06:40Andrew Santino?

  Yes.

• 1:06:40Speaker 04

  You're just wearing a jumpsuit and ordering for me.

• 1:06:44Speaker 04

  And you're tipping while handshaking, but you're not in the mafia.

• 1:06:47Andrew Santino?

  You're not in the mafia. But it is a nice thing to do.

• 1:06:49Speaker 04

  It isn't, but I moved my mom out here. And it has been so funny watching her adjust.

• 1:06:55Andrew Santino?

  To LA.

• 1:06:56Speaker 04

  To everything.

• 1:06:56Andrew Santino?

  Cause how many times has she really been in LA?

• 1:06:59Speaker 04

  Well, I mean, she visited me once.

• 1:07:01Andrew Santino?

  Oh shit, that's a huge leap.

• 1:07:03Speaker 04

  And it came out of nowhere. She finally said like, "I'm ready."

• 1:07:06Andrew Santino?

  And did you sell her place? Did she have a?

• 1:07:08Speaker 04

  Uh, as of today, the deadline for offers on her place is happening while we're in here. So when I walk out, there'll be, that decision will happen, but.

• 1:07:17Andrew Santino?

  That's not your childhood home that she lived in though?

• 1:07:18Speaker 04

  No, no, no, no.

• 1:07:19Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's what's wait, that's long gone.

• 1:07:20Speaker 04

  Yeah, long gone. And that was gone when I was fifteen.

• 1:07:23Andrew Santino?

  Wow.

• 1:07:24Speaker 04

  But, um, so my mom didn't have, I talked about this, but my mom didn't have ID. So she tried to go the old school way and she's like, "It'll work. I'll just go to the airport." And I was like, "It's not gonna work if you don't have valid ID." And she's like,

• 1:07:38Andrew Santino?

  "It's me."

• 1:07:39Speaker 04

  She goes, "I talked to the fucking people at TSA." I was like, "Okay." So it didn't work.

• 1:07:45Andrew Santino?

  Of course not.

• 1:07:46Speaker 04

  She got locked out of the system. I don't know what happened. So then we had to figure out how to get Eve from Chicago to Los Angeles.

• 1:07:55Andrew Santino?

  Without an ID.

• 1:07:56Speaker 04

  Without valid identification.

• 1:07:57Andrew Santino?

  No passport?

• 1:07:58Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:07:59Andrew Santino?

  No, nothing?

• 1:07:59Speaker 04

  Nothing. And eighty, and is lippy.

• 1:08:03Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, mouthed off right away.

• 1:08:05Speaker 04

  Real, like, real, like in a real way.

• 1:08:07Andrew Santino?

  You mean you don't have my fucking number? Well, we don't know you, ma'am.

• 1:08:10Speaker 04

  And also, in this day and

• 1:08:11Andrew Santino?

  You know who my son is?

• 1:08:12Speaker 04

  Not that.

• 1:08:13Andrew Santino?

  Doesn't do that.

• 1:08:14Speaker 04

  No, because she's been this way forever. She would fight Taco Bell employees when I was a kid. She, she was the lady that you're in line. And the lady would be like, the sixteen year old girl would be like, "You want hot sauce?"

• 1:08:27Andrew Santino?

  "Of course."

• 1:08:29Speaker 04

  And I'd be like, "How'd you say of course like that?" And then the woman would go like, "That's what I asked."

• 1:08:36Speaker 04

  "Are you talking about it?" And I'm like, "What's happening here?" This is going sideways. And I'd be like, "It's fine. We don't need it. Here, take my tacos." "Cause I wanna leave. I'm scared of everybody." "I'm gonna lose the fight. You women will be fine."

• 1:08:48Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:48Speaker 04

  But so, I was like, I can't put her on an Amtrak. Um, because she'll get kicked off.

• 1:08:54Andrew Santino?

  And a train is like, what is a train?

• 1:08:55Speaker 05

  It's the bottom.

• 1:08:56Andrew Santino?

  What's a train, nine days to?

• 1:08:58Speaker 04

  Well, it did even worse, Andrew. So, I wasn't worried about the timing. I was quite literally worried about them kicking her off an Amtrak.

• 1:09:06Andrew Santino?

  Her, cause you're just fighting with somebody.

• 1:09:08Speaker 04

  Getting in an argument where I wouldn't know what really happened.

• 1:09:11Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:09:11Speaker 04

  But I would get a call going, "I'm in Arizona. What happened?" "The fucking guy's a prick." "What happened?" "I already told you!"

• 1:09:20Andrew Santino?

  He was a prick. That's what happened.

• 1:09:21Speaker 04

  "I don't get what's happening." So, I found a service where somebody would drive her from Chicago to LA.

• 1:09:29Andrew Santino?

  Shut the fuck up.

• 1:09:30Speaker 04

  Swear on my life.

• 1:09:30Andrew Santino?

  How long does that take?

• 1:09:31Speaker 04

  Four days.

• 1:09:32Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, that's crazy.

• 1:09:34Speaker 04

  And I'd have to book the hotels each night and I'd have to rent a car.

• 1:09:37Andrew Santino?

  Oh, God.

• 1:09:38Speaker 04

  And there was a guy from here, from Burbank, who would fly to LA and then drive her back.

• 1:09:44Andrew Santino?

  Oh, my God.

• 1:09:45Speaker 04

  We did it.

• 1:09:46Andrew Santino?

  Wait a minute.

• 1:09:47Speaker 04

  His name was Rick.

• 1:09:48Andrew Santino?

  You're telling me

• 1:09:51Andrew Santino?

  having someone back in Chicago to help her get an ID was that hard that you're like, "We're just gonna rent a car to drive her?" She would never go to the DMV. It's never gonna happen.

• 1:10:02Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, okay. I get it.

• 1:10:03Speaker 04

  Are you crazy?

• 1:10:04Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, it's so funny.

• 1:10:05Speaker 04

  That's the stupidest question I've ever heard. It's impossible.

• 1:10:08Andrew Santino?

  So, you're like, Rick is gonna go out there.

• 1:10:10Speaker 04

  This is just better.

• 1:10:11Andrew Santino?

  Rick flew to, flew to Chicago.

• 1:10:13Speaker 04

  Some guy named Rick.

• 1:10:14Andrew Santino?

  Rented a car.

• 1:10:15Speaker 04

  We rented him a car. I'd rather had to meet him at the airport at midnight.

• 1:10:18Andrew Santino?

  All the way to LA and stopped in, what are we talking, Colorado?

• 1:10:22Speaker 04

  Uh, no, we went south because my mother's afraid of the hills.

• 1:10:27Speaker 04

  So, I created the route.

• 1:10:28Andrew Santino?

  So, she went the longest way she could?

• 1:10:30Speaker 04

  Yep, she went the longest way and it went sideways between her and Rick.

• 1:10:35Andrew Santino?

  What kind of car did you guys rent?

• 1:10:37Speaker 04

  I put her in like, uh, just a little sedan.

• 1:10:39Andrew Santino?

  This is fascinating.

• 1:10:41Speaker 04

  And it went sideways quick.

• 1:10:43Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:43Speaker 04

  Uh, I'm gonna kill the prick.

• 1:10:45Andrew Santino?

  They're in Missouri. She's freaking the fuck out.

• 1:10:47Speaker 04

  Something happened, Andrew, where he crossed a line, and these are the lines I crossed as a kid, and I'm crossing now that I have her here. I've trapped her here.

• 1:10:55Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 1:10:55Speaker 04

  I'm a prison warden.

• 1:10:56Andrew Santino?

  Well.

• 1:10:57Speaker 04

  She doesn't have any control. She doesn't like it here.

• 1:10:58Andrew Santino?

  Too bad.

• 1:10:59Speaker 04

  She doesn't like me anymore.

• 1:11:00Andrew Santino?

  Too bad.

• 1:11:01Speaker 04

  Well, unfortunately for her, sorry if you end up watching this on YouTube. This is what she calls it. She puts emphasis on the second half.

• 1:11:07Andrew Santino?

  YouTube!

• 1:11:08Speaker 04

  She goes like this, "You know, I like the YouTube." It's the strangest way I've ever heard that. But she and Rick were going and something happened where she said, "I have a taste for donuts." Charming thing for a woman to say.

• 1:11:22Andrew Santino?

  It is cute. I'm getting her donuts immediately.

• 1:11:25Speaker 04

  Believe me, she had a whole case when she arrived.

• 1:11:29Speaker 04

  And he said, well, there's a Dunkin' Donuts and my mom's got very particular taste.

• 1:11:35Andrew Santino?

  She doesn't like D D.

• 1:11:37Speaker 04

  You ne- you never know, but it's very clear. When she doesn't like something, she's very opinionated.

• 1:11:42Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 1:11:42Speaker 04

  I'm not getting Dunkin' Donuts. He goes, okay, well, let's get back in the highway and we'll see what happens. Then as they were getting back on the highway, she goes, I might want the donut. And he said, it's too late for the donuts. She said, who the fuck are you to tell?

• 1:11:58Andrew Santino?

  Oh shit.

• 1:11:59Speaker 04

  That's when things went sideways.

• 1:12:00Andrew Santino?

  Oh yeah. So she got the donuts, by the way.

• 1:12:04Speaker 04

  They didn't, actually.

• 1:12:05Andrew Santino?

  Oh, no.

• 1:12:06Speaker 04

  He think Rick put his phone down.

• 1:12:08Andrew Santino?

  Rick was like, you know what, we're fuck- no, Eve, we're driving. Not getting a fucking place.

• 1:12:14Speaker 04

  And what happened was, they just became family. Within four days and he got her here, but I've never seen a man drop somebody off faster. I met him outside, he put her stuff literally on the sidewalk, didn't walk an older lady's stuff inside. It was like a pile on the sidewalk. I walked, he didn't get out of the car, he shook my hands and he goes, Eve's a lovely lady. Ooh, gone.

• 1:12:35Andrew Santino?

  You know, this is your next movie. I mean, you know this, right?

• 1:12:39Speaker 04

  Driving Miss Eevee?

• 1:12:40Andrew Santino?

  I mean, truly, this is the next movie.

• 1:12:41Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:12:42Andrew Santino?

  Cause it's brilliant.

• 1:12:43Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:12:43Andrew Santino?

  Like, it's a perfect story.

• 1:12:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:12:45Andrew Santino?

  I'm not kidding, you have to write this.

• 1:12:46Speaker 04

  But here would be the catch, cause Gareth wants to do that too. Gareth is like, we're just writing this movie.

• 1:12:51Andrew Santino?

  It's perfect.

• 1:12:51Speaker 04

  And then I said to Gareth, pitch on it, and it was way more broad and way sillier. But I was like, but the real part of it is, it's two older people and it's nasty.

• 1:13:02Andrew Santino?

  It's contentious the entire time.

• 1:13:04Speaker 04

  It's not the, the, that movie, if you go back to the dinosaur, not to the direct audience. You need redemption in the third act.

• 1:13:11Andrew Santino?

  Of course.

• 1:13:12Speaker 04

  You need them, them to learn something.

• 1:13:14Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 1:13:15Speaker 04

  My mother learned nothing. I mean it.

• 1:13:18Andrew Santino?

  You'd have to write it. You'd have to write her, her learning moments.

• 1:13:21Speaker 04

  But you would have, but in writing it, for me, and this is what I learned during, in my movie, the movie ends where it has a resolution. I loved my movie, I had that movie for years, there was no resolution. I don't like stories with resolution. I've been on this earth for forty-eight years. I don't think I've learned very much.

• 1:13:39Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 1:13:40Speaker 04

  I'll go through big adjustments where I'm like, now I get, dude, I'm getting stronger.

• 1:13:44Andrew Santino?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:13:44Speaker 04

  You're gonna see me in a year, I'm gonna be fifty pounds fatter.

• 1:13:46Andrew Santino?

  And you look really good right now.

• 1:13:48Speaker 04

  Go through a phase, brother.

• 1:13:49Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, but like the audience.

• 1:13:51Speaker 04

  But like the audience.

• 1:13:51Andrew Santino?

  That's fine.

• 1:13:52Speaker 04

  I'll be bigger and you'll go like, what's going on, big boy? And I'll go like this, fucking pasta, brother. I'll go, you in Italian lately?

• 1:13:59Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, big time.

• 1:14:00Speaker 04

  Big time. And right now, you're like, I'm done with the business. Will you make one of these things that come back, that thing hits? You go, I don't have time to do the podcast, why? I'm going to Hawaii to make a movie. Paramountee. Cause there's no, in my opinion, there's no real lessons.

• 1:14:16Andrew Santino?

  No, there's not.

• 1:14:17Speaker 04

  And when people learn them, and especially in the podcast here, which drives me crazy. Everybody wants to tell you the lessons they've learned. And as they're talking, I'm like, you're not as smart as you think you are.

• 1:14:25Andrew Santino?

  Nobody is.

• 1:14:26Speaker 04

  You don't know what you're talking about.

• 1:14:27Andrew Santino?

  Even the smartest people I've met, sometimes you're, I'm shocked.

• 1:14:30Speaker 04

  Same.

• 1:14:30Andrew Santino?

  God, that guy's not as smart as I thought he was. It almost fucks your head up.

• 1:14:33Speaker 04

  It does.

• 1:14:34Andrew Santino?

  That you're like, I really thought you were kinda, and then I really-

• 1:14:37Speaker 04

  And if you're not.

• 1:14:38Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 1:14:38Speaker 04

  Who's running this shit?

• 1:14:39Andrew Santino?

  Right. That's what's very scary. So the no resolution's actually pretty good. I do like the idea of, cause Hollywood would have Hollywooded it, right?

• 1:14:46Speaker 04

  They have to Hollywood it.

• 1:14:47Andrew Santino?

  Yeah, they would have made it a great little bow tie at the very end. In fact, he's a black guy, Rick, he drives out there, he's an older guy. They go through the South, she sees him have trouble in the South, she starts to see his worldview and, I can't, they still treat you like that?

• 1:14:59Speaker 04

  Yeah, they shouldn't treat you like that. There's nothing wrong with you.

• 1:15:01Andrew Santino?

  Right, it's Green Book.

• 1:15:02Speaker 04

  I'll tell you what's wrong with, what's wrong with them.

• 1:15:05Andrew Santino?

  Right, exactly.

• 1:15:06Speaker 04

  And when I say them, I don't mean they, them, and I just learned about that. And they can do whatever they want.

• 1:15:11Andrew Santino?

  Big laugh, big pop, they go to a coffee shop.

• 1:15:13Speaker 04

  They end up at like, a bar down South. Where somebody says something to him, she stands up for him while they're drinking. My mom's drinking for the first time in ten years, the bartender, who is they, them, is with them.

• 1:15:25Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 1:15:25Speaker 04

  This ragtag group goes back to their house where they have a house party, and my mom ends up dancing.

• 1:15:29Andrew Santino?

  Right, hundred percent. Some executive right now is like, I don't know why these guys don't make this much of a movie.

• 1:15:33Speaker 04

  And the truth is, you're like, yeah, all that, and then you go, oh, alright. And when the movie ends, you do all this work and I go, it just doesn't feel like a bunch of gorillas on the side of a mountain. Because I'll tell you, they don't make adjustments, they don't really learn anything.

• 1:15:47Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 1:15:48Speaker 04

  They do things, they act crazy, but like, there was, in this thing that I loved, there was a gorilla who got isolated from the group. Bad behavior. He thought he was the alpha dog. He wasn't. And he tried to take over and the man got fucked his ass up. They're like, what the fuck you talking about? The guy's like, I'm coming in. They're like, get the fuck out of here. You're not the young Turks. You're not here to take over. You think you are.

• 1:16:10Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:11Speaker 04

  Revolution's fucking squashed. You're a clown. So he left. He was walking around the side of the mountain. He's like, maybe I'll find some other lady, star family. No one wanted his ass. He walked so far south, Santino, he comes across humans.

• 1:16:23Andrew Santino?

  Shut up.

• 1:16:23Speaker 04

  There's a whole thing of, it's my favorite part of the movie. They're like, and then he came too far down the mountain. There's all these people looking at him, these farmers and this silverbacks like, I'm gonna go back.

• 1:16:37Speaker 04

  He then just starts doing fucking weird stuff.

• 1:16:42Andrew Santino?

  Trying to like rehash his life?

• 1:16:44Speaker 04

  Just doing stuff where you're like.

• 1:16:46Andrew Santino?

  He's having a midlife crisis.

• 1:16:47Speaker 04

  Should I spoil?

• 1:16:48Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:50Speaker 04

  He murders one of the babies in the pack.

• 1:16:54Andrew Santino?

  Not his.

• 1:16:55Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:16:56Andrew Santino?

  To try to establish dominance or something?

• 1:16:58Speaker 04

  Who knows? Just a fucking shitty ass move.

• 1:17:01Andrew Santino?

  Wow.

• 1:17:02Speaker 04

  And they're all kinda like, ah.

• 1:17:05Andrew Santino?

  They don't kill him.

• 1:17:06Speaker 04

  They run him outside. They, a bunch of the male and the females, follow his ass where he has to go all the way outside of the mountain. And I guess when you go far enough away, you never come back.

• 1:17:16Andrew Santino?

  He's dead.

• 1:17:17Speaker 04

  They escort him off and they go like, one of my favorite lines in the whole thing is they're like, a lone male silverback in the jungle alone is the most unpredictable. And I was like, that's it.

• 1:17:28Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:29Speaker 04

  You got a wife, you got a little family, you start getting more unpredictable, you get a job. You got nothing? You're a taxi driver. You're Travis Bickle, brother.

• 1:17:40Speaker 04

  And I'm like, there's no resolution. There's no big growth. He's out there doing something fucked up on the side of that mountain. The rest of them are going, if he ever comes back, we gotta fucking stomp his ass out.

• 1:17:49Andrew Santino?

  Right.

• 1:17:50Speaker 04

  And I'm like, I like those stories, but those don't get good reviewed. Nobody likes them. They're not happy to see it.

• 1:17:55Andrew Santino?

  I like them.

• 1:17:55Speaker 04

  Me too, but it's such a small audience.

• 1:17:57Andrew Santino?

  Oh, we're twisted.

• 1:17:58Speaker 04

  But I'm like, but that's a movie when I would watch, I'd go like, that made me really happy to see. You ever see, uh, You Can Count On Me, the movie?

• 1:18:05Andrew Santino?

  Uh-uh.

• 1:18:06Speaker 04

  You'd love it.

• 1:18:06Andrew Santino?

  You can count on me?

• 1:18:07Speaker 04

  You can count on me. It's about a brother and sister. It's really dark. It's really weird. But it's just like, I'm like, oh, it's a great movie.

• 1:18:12Andrew Santino?

  It's cause it's fucked up and twisted.

• 1:18:14Speaker 04

  Real. You just kinda go like, eh.

• 1:18:16Andrew Santino?

  Have you seen it?

• 1:18:17Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:18:17Andrew Santino?

  You looked it up?

• 1:18:18Speaker 05

  It's a follows a single mother living in a small Catscomb mountain town whose life is disrupted in her struggling way where younger brother returns.

• 1:18:26Andrew Santino?

  Oh, that's great.

• 1:18:26Speaker 04

  Just great.

• 1:18:27Andrew Santino?

  Concept already.

• 1:18:28Speaker 04

  Great, great acting, great direction.

• 1:18:30Andrew Santino?

  Ruffalo and who?

• 1:18:31Speaker 05

  Laura Linney.

• 1:18:32Speaker 04

  Young Ruffalo, young Ruffalo.

• 1:18:34Andrew Santino?

  Young Ruff and Laura Linney?

• 1:18:34Speaker 05

  Two thousand.

• 1:18:35Andrew Santino?

  Two for two.

• 1:18:36Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 1:18:37Andrew Santino?

  Two thousand, one of the greatest years, dude.

• 1:18:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:18:39Andrew Santino?

  Prince was right.

• 1:18:40Speaker 04

  Yeah. Let's say you're happy, you're healthy, all the good stuff, man?

• 1:18:43Andrew Santino?

  I'm trying to figure it out.

• 1:18:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:18:44Andrew Santino?

  But you know what? I don't want to be that lone silverback, so maybe I'll stay with the back.

• 1:18:51Speaker 04

  Look at the resolution, now that's a third act.

• 1:18:53Andrew Santino?

  That's a third act. Uh, please, please, please, please, uh, the dink comes out.

• 1:18:58Speaker 04

  The dink is July 24th on Apple. It's about pickleball, but it's actually really funny. Shawn Clements wrote it. Uh, Roger Clemens, but with a T is his last name, so Clemens.

• 1:19:06Andrew Santino?

  Shawn Clements.

• 1:19:07Speaker 04

  Uh, do you know him?

• 1:19:08Andrew Santino?

  No.

• 1:19:08Speaker 04

  The writer?

• 1:19:08Andrew Santino?

  Don't know the guy.

• 1:19:09Speaker 04

  Oh, you would love him.

• 1:19:10Andrew Santino?

  Yeah.

• 1:19:10Speaker 04

  He's so funny. He does Hollywood Handbook, the, uh...

• 1:19:12Andrew Santino?

  Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:19:13Speaker 04

  Super funny dude. He wrote it, it's great. Josh Greenbaum directed it. The movie's genuinely funny.

• 1:19:18Andrew Santino?

  Awesome.

• 1:19:18Speaker 04

  Uh, maximum pleasure guaranteed, is on Apple now. Awesome.

• 1:19:22Andrew Santino?

  It's great, dude.

• 1:19:22Speaker 04

  Um, and then, we're here to help, check out the podcast.

• 1:19:26Andrew Santino?

  The kid is cruising as usual, uh, I love to see you.

• 1:19:29Speaker 04

  You too, man.

• 1:19:29Andrew Santino?

  Uh, we end the show the same way. You look into that camera, say one word or one phrase. Whenever you're ready, it could be powerful, it could be quick. But it's gotta come from you.

• 1:19:39Speaker 04

  Silverback.

• 1:19:40Speaker 01

  In here, we pour whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey. You're that creature in the ginger beer!

• 1:19:48Speaker 06

  Sturdy, ginger. Like that, the ginger gene is a curse.

• 1:19:52Speaker 03

  Gingers are beautiful. You owe me five dollars for the whiskey, seventy-five dollars for the horse. Gingers, oh, hell no. This whiskey is excellent.

• 1:20:01Speaker 02

  Ginger. I like gingers.
