Speaker 3: Is that how we're going to introduce you from now on?
Speaker 4: No, not just us, but just in general, in public.
Speaker 3: That's how people should be introducing you.
Speaker 4: It's starting to catch on.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 4: I think so. I'm getting it out in public now. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
Speaker 6: Do you like it?
Speaker 4: No, yeah, yeah. Okay, because... I've been called much worse.
Speaker 3: I was going to say, we could say something worse
Speaker 3: if you do like it too much.
Speaker 2: No, no.
Speaker 4: It's okay.
Speaker 6: Christmas time, we go, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Speaker 4: Wow. Fat jokes, right? Right off the bat. I don't
Speaker 4: know if it's just fat.
Speaker 3: I was just saying, I think he was thinking Jolly.
Speaker 3: He was thinking ahead of seasonal stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm Ben Giles of Christmasable Productions.
Speaker 4: I have played Santa many times, so I'm not offended.
Speaker 4: I didn't take it.
Speaker 6: Has everybody played Santa here? No.
Speaker 8: I have.
Speaker 4: I have my own suit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 4: Everyone but Dean.
Speaker 2: Oh, everyone but Dean. Santa doesn't have tattoos.
Speaker 6: What about in Bad Santa? Billy Bob Thornton, doesn't he
Speaker 6: have tips?
Speaker 4: I was Krampus once.
Speaker 2: That's not what we asked. I was Krampus once.
Speaker 3: You were a good Krampus. How was your Krampus voice?
Speaker 9: Remember how that went?
Speaker 6: You were very helium-based.
Speaker 4: I was very helium-based.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, guys, how's it going? Because I
Speaker 2: walked up and I was off.
Speaker 3: He did like an Undertaker entrance, like WWE Undertaker entrance.
Speaker 2: He did like a scary Krampus-y, Christmas-y kind of music,
Speaker 2: and they dimmed the lights and everything. I had a
Speaker 2: glowing staff. And then when I got up, on stage,
Speaker 2: I was just, like, growling and stuff. And then I
Speaker 2: was just like, okay, now I gotta clean my shirt.
Speaker 2: And everybody was like, ha.
Speaker 4: Ha ha ha ha. I don't think they were.
Speaker 6: I think they were.
Speaker 9: Like, full-on belly laughs.
Speaker 2: I just want to hire, like, an entire audience, and
Speaker 2: that's how they laugh.
Speaker 4: Ha ha ha ha ha.
Speaker 2: After every, every, every tag, every bit, everything.
Speaker 3: I always like that laugh, because it makes me think
Speaker 3: of the South Park episode for Facebook with, uh, um,
Speaker 3: Mark Zuckerberg. And he always goes like, that is not
Speaker 3: my style.
Speaker 9: Ha ha ha ha.
Speaker 2: Is it okay to say Mark Zuckerberg and everything?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: Because you know what we haven't done in a while?
Speaker 2: We haven't thanked Beyonce.
Speaker 4: You're right, we haven't. Thank you, Beyonce.
Speaker 9: That was like a season one thing.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Thank you, yeah.
Speaker 1: That was a long time ago.
Speaker 9: That's over 100 episodes ago.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Beyonce.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, Beyonce.
Speaker 2: There's like a conspiracy theory that people who win... awards
Speaker 2: and stuff they're supposed to thank.
Speaker 4: Beyonce oh i have seen.
Speaker 2: That because the the conspiracy theory starts with like when
Speaker 2: taylor swift won one and then kanye went up there
Speaker 2: and he's like no i want to talk about yeah
Speaker 2: beyonce that's because she was about to stop without talking
Speaker 2: about beyonce and some illuminati.
Speaker 4: Yeah it's the ritual thing you know.
Speaker 2: Whatever so we thank beyonce yeah smart so we thanked
Speaker 2: beyonce beyonce has been thanked we'll put that in the notes.
Speaker 4: I got you.
Speaker 2: But anyways, it is stupidly hot in here.
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: And one of the cameras actually took a shit already.
Speaker 2: And we called the.
Speaker 4: It said it was too hot.
Speaker 2: We called the professional camera crew who has set all
Speaker 2: this wonderful high-tech equipment up in here. And we just said...
Speaker 2: Ben actually FaceTimed him and said, Why.
Speaker 4: Is it blue? And it's blinking.
Speaker 2: And he's like, What does the error message say? And
Speaker 2: he said... It's too hot. It's too hot.
Speaker 3: You know, there's so much camera equipment.
Speaker 6: In here right now.
Speaker 3: Is there one behind me?
Speaker 2: Probably.
Speaker 4: This is a light, yeah.
Speaker 3: But there's so much camera equipment in here, your property
Speaker 3: value went up.
Speaker 2: It probably did.
Speaker 4: Courtesy of Sudi Solutions and Al Martinez.
Speaker 2: Did he really say that about my house when he
Speaker 2: said there was a Sasquatch.
Speaker 4: In front of it? No. I don't want to say
Speaker 4: it on camera. Okay. What you said earlier, yes.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 4: Case, you're wondering... I'll say it. I don't care.
Speaker 2: When the camera crew was trying to find my house,
Speaker 2: Ben said, it's one that has a giant Sasquatch on
Speaker 2: the front of it. And the guy said, that's incredibly heterosexual.
Speaker 4: You can hear Crickets chirping. That's awesome.
Speaker 3: I paid extra for those guys to be here tonight.
Speaker 4: Yeah. All right.
Speaker 2: But anyways, I don't know.
Speaker 4: What's the next segment? Yeah, what do I want to do?
Speaker 2: My arms are sticking to the table. I have a
Speaker 2: really low chair. I feel like a kid at the
Speaker 2: kid table at Thanksgiving right now.
Speaker 3: We do need to get, like, raised chairs.
Speaker 2: I can have another piece of pie, please.
Speaker 4: What kind of pie?
Speaker 2: Peach.
Speaker 9: Strawberry rhubarb cobbler.
Speaker 2: I like how when I look this way, I look
Speaker 2: incredibly pale. And when I look this way, I look
Speaker 2: like I have extremely high blood pressure.
Speaker 9: No filters.
Speaker 6: As you can tell, cameras are new to us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're like little kids in a candy shop.
Speaker 6: They brought a hot air balloon there.
Speaker 2: Camera three, rest in peace. Camera four.
Speaker 6: Maybe it's still recording.
Speaker 2: That'd be crazy if it's recording still.
Speaker 4: Oh, no.
Speaker 6: He turned it off.
Speaker 4: I killed all the power. Never mind. These ones are
Speaker 4: still recording, though.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I should have my arms on
Speaker 2: the table or if I should sit like this.
Speaker 9: This is just like normal stage stuff.
Speaker 2: When is the turkey coming?
Speaker 4: All right, then.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm glad we all have ragzos.
Speaker 4: My head.
Speaker 2: Took my hat off, too.
Speaker 4: It's still here, though.
Speaker 2: It's right there, yeah, next to the Oreos. Do we
Speaker 2: just want to dive into that?
Speaker 3: Hey, Dean, act like you've been here before.
Speaker 2: Everybody's just looking at me like, I guess Dean's just
Speaker 2: doing this.
Speaker 4: No one's talking but Dean.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to prevent dead air because we've got cameras now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's eat some Oreos. Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 6: Let's get into the Oreos.
Speaker 3: So we got the three. See, that was the perfect segue.
Speaker 2: Why were you shitting on my segue?
Speaker 4: We got the.
Speaker 3: Three Oreos that they released for the summer where it's
Speaker 3: like a vote for your favorite flavor. So the first
Speaker 3: one that Ben is cracking into right now is the
Speaker 3: deep fried.
Speaker 2: Carl, we have cameras. You don't have to do play
Speaker 2: by play.
Speaker 6: Deep fried what?
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4: I'm kidding.
Speaker 6: I thought I was doing a pretty good job. You're
Speaker 6: doing great.
Speaker 9: Now my whole groove's off.
Speaker 2: No, keep going.
Speaker 6: No, no, it goes back to you now. I'm looking
Speaker 6: at you, Dean, to do it.
Speaker 2: Tell him what Stan's doing.
Speaker 3: So this one is the deep fried Oreo is the
Speaker 3: first one. All right, jumping in.
Speaker 4: I will try to chew into the microphone.
Speaker 3: All right, so it's got like a golden Oreo on
Speaker 3: the outside, as you can see on camera there. And
Speaker 3: then it's got like a little like fudgy mini Oreo
Speaker 3: on the inside with the regular white cream.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 8: Cheers.
Speaker 2: That's so weird.
Speaker 6: Touch Oreos.
Speaker 8: All right.
Speaker 4: Cheers.
Speaker 2: I definitely taste, I smell marshmallow. I haven't tasted it yet.
Speaker 6: These sounds are so guttural. I'm leaning back. These are alright.
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting though that Ben and I just
Speaker 3: Whole cookie and Dean and Stan both just took a bite.
Speaker 4: I shoved that puppy in harder.
Speaker 2: You could easily make these at home by taking a
Speaker 2: regular Oreo and taking the golden Oreos and putting a
Speaker 2: golden Oreo on the outside.
Speaker 3: That middle is not an Oreo, though. That was soft
Speaker 3: and creamy on its own.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like fondant.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a good way to describe that.
Speaker 4: All right, what do we got here?
Speaker 3: On this one that Ben has opened and taken an
Speaker 3: Oreo out of is the banana pudding. Banana pudding.
Speaker 2: I need to cleanse.
Speaker 4: I'm going to drink some of my grill. Good call.
Speaker 6: What flavor you got today? I'm drinking citrus rain.
Speaker 4: I got root beer.
Speaker 2: Do you have Ben?
Speaker 4: Stan's root beer and shot glasses. That's right.
Speaker 2: You're sensitive to caffeine at night time.
Speaker 4: I can't take that caffeine hit this late at night. Cheers.
Speaker 9: Cheers. Banana pudding, let's see.
Speaker 4: I like this one a lot. I just hate banana flavor.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what banana pudding is.
Speaker 6: It's banana flavor.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 4: Know. Someone else talk first because I'm about to shit
Speaker 4: on this.
Speaker 6: He did it for the vine.
Speaker 3: I'm not really a fan of it either.
Speaker 4: I like it a lot. It just felt like a
Speaker 4: phantom braiser. Yeah, I know. That felt good. Okay, the
Speaker 4: aftertaste was a lot better than the first taste. That
Speaker 4: was not bad.
Speaker 6: I'm digging this one.
Speaker 3: It tastes too much like the artificial banana like you
Speaker 3: get in runs.
Speaker 9: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: What did you expect? Peeling it out of a freaking...
Speaker 4: What do you call that? A peel?
Speaker 6: Peel?
Speaker 4: Yeah. Peel it out of a peel?
Speaker 9: No, I felt like it would be more like fresh
Speaker 9: fruit forward.
Speaker 4: I can't tell if I can hear me chewing in
Speaker 4: my head or through the microphone. I can hear me chewing.
Speaker 4: That's fine. And breathing.
Speaker 3: I think the people in Indonesia like us eating stuff.
Speaker 6: And now I can see it.
Speaker 9: That's why we're so popular here.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, if you don't want that, there's another
Speaker 4: one out there. That's fine.
Speaker 3: All right, now this is the one I'm the most
Speaker 3: excited for.
Speaker 4: Oh, the color is cool, too.
Speaker 3: It sounds so different. This one is a chicken and waffles.
Speaker 3: It's got a different texture. It looks kind of like
Speaker 3: a Nutter Buddy cookie.
Speaker 6: Nutter Butter.
Speaker 4: It's like brown and creamy.
Speaker 3: And it's got the waffle lattice on the outside.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: Smells maple-y. Smells good.
Speaker 3: Cheers.
Speaker 4: Cheers.
Speaker 2: You put that in your mouth.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 4: I almost did. You saw that?
Speaker 6: I was like so close.
Speaker 2: Totally saw that.
Speaker 6: Whoa.
Speaker 2: Tastes like gravy, so I kind of love it.
Speaker 4: This is my favorite. I need another one.
Speaker 9: I like it, yeah. That's my favorite, too.
Speaker 6: That's my vote.
Speaker 9: Vote is chicken and waffles.
Speaker 4: One banana pudding.
Speaker 7: And Dean's?
Speaker 6: Because we broke Dean.
Speaker 2: No, because the deep fried one is just kind of basic.
Speaker 2: I think it's probably chicken and waffle.
Speaker 4: It's good.
Speaker 2: I mean, I like the banana one too, but.
Speaker 9: I don't get so much chicken-y aspect of it, but like.
Speaker 9: The maple.
Speaker 4: You can taste the maple syrup for sure.
Speaker 3: The maple for sure, but then it's like, it almost
Speaker 3: is like they did a better job with like the fry,
Speaker 3: like frying on this, that it almost has that fried feel.
Speaker 8: True.
Speaker 4: Hey, they did better than a Colonel.
Speaker 6: We'll tell you that.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Everyone's going to know I ate eight of these.
Speaker 2: I can taste the 17 herbs and spices or whatever.
Speaker 6: Isn't it?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: 11? Maybe.
Speaker 2: Until you include the waffle and the chicken.
Speaker 9: Nobody's ever gonna know.
Speaker 6: Is that dark meat or light meat? I think it's light.
Speaker 6: Light golden brown. Breast meat, yeah.
Speaker 9: Breast meat.
Speaker 8: Oreos.
Speaker 7: Pfft.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: So our official vote is three for chicken and waffles
Speaker 3: and one for banana pudding.
Speaker 4: One for banana. All right.
Speaker 9: And you can vote.
Speaker 6: Online, I believe, is how they're doing that.
Speaker 2: I don't vote.
Speaker 9: All right. So I'll vote on your behalf, I guess.
Speaker 6: If I vote, I'll get jury duty.
Speaker 4: You're going to vote twice? That's illegal in some places.
Speaker 6: Well, not on Oreo voting.
Speaker 4: Okay, fair.
Speaker 3: I'll use a different email.
Speaker 4: That's fine.
Speaker 9: I'll use his broken outlook.
Speaker 4: I know you fixed it. I know. I did a
Speaker 4: great job.
Speaker 2: I did it.
Speaker 4: I fixed it.
Speaker 2: It was awesome.
Speaker 3: Alright, before we go into our weekly segments, how about
Speaker 3: let's just talk about some things that happened recently for
Speaker 3: Laughable Productions and then let's get into our upcoming stuff
Speaker 3: and then we'll.
Speaker 9: Go into our weekly segments.
Speaker 4: How's that sound? Sounds delightful. Alright. Cool story, guys.
Speaker 6: Can we burp on camera still?
Speaker 5: I guess.
Speaker 4: Laughful Productions had an old-fashioned bus tour on Saturday. It
Speaker 4: was a really great time. We had the perfect-sized crowd
Speaker 4: for the bus, I would say. Everyone was nice and
Speaker 4: you had room, but I don't know if we could
Speaker 4: have fit a lot more people in there, which was
Speaker 4: good because I was a little sad because we were
Speaker 4: trying to sell to the capacity, which was like 40.
Speaker 2: That light is attracting so many bugs.
Speaker 4: 40 on one bus? Yeah, it's like a big school
Speaker 4: bus that's converted to a party bus. But we went
Speaker 4: to four different stops in the Holy Land. Capone's, Montgomery Hall, Blank's,
Speaker 4: and Jim and Linda's Supper Club. And you got an
Speaker 4: old-fashioned each stop. We had some cash money choral comedy.
Speaker 4: On the bus. From stop one to two on the bus.
Speaker 6: And he danced.
Speaker 4: He did. He danced on me.
Speaker 2: Like the waves of the ocean?
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 4: That's all I saw in my mind when he was
Speaker 4: on top of me.
Speaker 6: And everybody liked it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, except for... Me.
Speaker 3: My wife.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 6: I don't think you.
Speaker 3: I think you disliked it on you for the moment,
Speaker 3: but you liked it. Everybody else liked it. True.
Speaker 6: You liked it enough, you got video. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, before he was about to do it, I turned
Speaker 4: to the person next to me. I'm like, you got
Speaker 4: to get this.
Speaker 2: Something great is going to happen.
Speaker 4: And then we got some Wisconsin trivia at the next stop.
Speaker 4: And then we jammed out on the last stop of
Speaker 4: the night. And everyone had a really good time. They
Speaker 4: had tons of great ideas for future tours that we
Speaker 4: can do. So we're very excited about that.
Speaker 2: Trying to be animated for the cameras.
Speaker 4: Whoa, nice!
Speaker 6: What's there food?
Speaker 4: Was there any food? Yes, Cash Money Carl actually threw crackers,
Speaker 4: meat sticks, and cheese at people.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So was there food?
Speaker 4: Yeah. And there was food. So there were food at, like, stops.
Speaker 4: I don't think anyone really ordered much. Gotcha. Everyone was
Speaker 4: serving food at each place. But you had about 35
Speaker 4: to 40 minutes at each stop to, like, have your old-fashioned.
Speaker 4: There was one group of five that was playing cards
Speaker 4: at every stop. They brought a deck of cards. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: it was a really fun time. And we're going to
Speaker 4: do more of them. So thanks. So you got other
Speaker 4: ideas you said, too? Oh, yeah.
Speaker 6: Different drinks.
Speaker 4: My wife came up for one.
Speaker 6: She said, tell Don about this one. She's also our
Speaker 6: fact checker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't tell it on air. It's a trade secret
Speaker 4: for now. Tell me after. I'll tell you after. It's
Speaker 4: pretty good, though. I don't want anyone to steal it,
Speaker 4: you know?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you might. Okay.
Speaker 9: And then what's upcoming for Laughable Productions?
Speaker 4: Well, before we talk about the Laughable Productions ones, I
Speaker 4: want to talk about this crowd work one that we're doing.
Speaker 4: I'm really excited about this one. You know me, I
Speaker 4: like to riff. We're doing the Unusual Suspects, a crowd
Speaker 4: work show at... The Vaudette. The Vaudette.
Speaker 6: In Kakana.
Speaker 4: Theater. In Kakana. Kakana.
Speaker 3: I love when people purposely try to mispronounce places and
Speaker 3: how it sounds, right?
Speaker 4: Kakana! Kakana! And I think everyone at this table on
Speaker 4: this podcast is on that show. Yes. And Justin Landry
Speaker 4: is also on that show.
Speaker 2: Who is not on this podcast.
Speaker 4: He is not. Speaking of Justin Landry, he was our
Speaker 4: special guest at one of our other shows. Anybody else
Speaker 4: have anything to say about the crowd work?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 4: Come on out.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're figuring out what we want to actually
Speaker 3: do for that, but this is an experimental show, so
Speaker 3: that's what's fun about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we can't do it without a crowd.
Speaker 4: So show up.

Speaker 3: tips only, so... That's basically just a reflection.
Speaker 4: And for the weekend, baby.
Speaker 9: Yeah, for the reflection of how we do.
Speaker 4: So, yeah.
Speaker 3: If you think we did a good job or we
Speaker 3: made you laugh or you had a good time, then yeah.
Speaker 3: Then you put it in the bucket, whatever you think
Speaker 3: is worth it. And if it has my face on it,
Speaker 3: they shoot you on site at the establishment.

Speaker 2: I was just seeing all those bugs. They're being attracted
Speaker 2: by the light. They're probably sneaking in through little tiny
Speaker 2: cracks in the door.
Speaker 3: That was the strangest bug slapping I've ever seen anybody do.
Speaker 6: Dean just went like this. He just went like, He's
Speaker 6: very gentle. He's very gentle. You should see him with

Speaker 5: But.
Speaker 3: September 11th, Ben and I are doing the one-liner madness

Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Basically, that one is just you.
Speaker 3: Get a one-liner up to three lines for the joke,
Speaker 3: and you can be eliminated off of just one joke.
Speaker 9: So there's 64 comments.
Speaker 3: It's a bracket, and you just lay them down with
Speaker 3: your funniest, and then they actually have a sound meter
Speaker 3: for the applause or laughter or whatever, and whoever has
Speaker 3: the highest one for that particular matchup moves on so
Speaker 3: that's gonna be a lot of fun i'm looking.
Speaker 4: Forward to that same hashtag never forgets number 11 at
Speaker 4: the annex.
Speaker 3: Nice do we get all the shows for the month
Speaker 3: no no we're missing no there's a couple more.
Speaker 4: There's a there's a big one we're missing i mean
Speaker 4: we have the funny fish fries summer.
Speaker 10: 25th but that's a good lineup too that is a
Speaker 10: good lineup yeah i was checking that out today.
Speaker 4: I'm excited about that one i am on that one
Speaker 4: i'm hosting that night Carl's featuring. Frank Day is going
Speaker 4: to be a guest. And then Chris Calagero is headlining
Speaker 4: the show.
Speaker 6: So that's a stacked lineup from start to finish right there.
Speaker 4: I'm very excited about that.
Speaker 6: We've got two.
Speaker 9: More shows, and then we're getting to the big one
Speaker 9: in the room.
Speaker 6: The big one in the room.
Speaker 3: So there's a Murder Mystery on September 20th. Ben and
Speaker 3: I will both be there. And then I'm going to
Speaker 3: be going down to Madison for the Atlas Improv. Somebody
Speaker 3: else can join me if they want to. There's a
Speaker 3: sign up for that one, but that's a mic. But
Speaker 3: I do like talking about that one specifically because that
Speaker 3: one highly encourages doing non-traditional acts.
Speaker 9: So you can still do stand-up, but if you've got weird.
Speaker 3: Bits that you're like, I don't know where this fits
Speaker 3: in my set... or if you're trying to just make
Speaker 3: eye contact strongly with the audience while drinking your Fruit
Speaker 3: Crunch Gorilla Mind, you can do that there, and you
Speaker 3: can do that for up to 10 minutes.
Speaker 4: Up to 10 minutes? I did not know that.
Speaker 3: But there's only a couple 10-minute spots, and you have
Speaker 3: to rotate. But it's between 4 and 10, so there's
Speaker 3: a couple different spots.
Speaker 4: I'll go if I get a 10-minute spot. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 6: Well, he could.
Speaker 3: No, he actually is very accommodating for people coming out
Speaker 3: of town.
Speaker 4: Oh, nice.
Speaker 3: So that's another reason why I like that.
Speaker 6: And Eli Wills.
Speaker 4: You did offer to drive me as well.
Speaker 3: And Eli Wills is the host of that, who's on
Speaker 3: our show with us. He also was awarded Madison's Best
Speaker 3: Open Mic Host this year.
Speaker 4: Nice. Yeah, a lot of cool things there. Nice.
Speaker 3: What date is that on again?
Speaker 6: That one will be on September 24th.
Speaker 4: He runs a good mic. All right.
Speaker 9: Now the show.
Speaker 3: That's the elephant in the room.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 9: Oshkosh's funniest finale.
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah. Whoa.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: And everybody in the.
Speaker 3: Room is doing something for that show.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 9: And that's on September 26th.
Speaker 6: Wow. We got Stan in the final. We got.
Speaker 4: Our round three winner, Stan Dabrowski.
Speaker 3: And we got Dean Berg, round four winner.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: In the final.
Speaker 9: We got Asher Brooks, round one.
Speaker 6: Yep. And we got Nate Lee, round two.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
Speaker 3: And then we're still waiting for the wild card.
Speaker 4: We are.
Speaker 3: I've been watching the voting.
Speaker 4: Who's winning right now?
Speaker 2: It's Bob Wilson.
Speaker 4: Bob Wilson.
Speaker 9: And then, obviously, Ben is in charge of the whole thing.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 3: And I'm there to judge and also judge the comics, too.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's going to be a really, really, really fun night.
Speaker 4: Really big show. Sunny bought one last year. He's going
Speaker 4: to be headlining this year and joining the judges panel. And,
Speaker 4: you know, Dean, Stan, Nate, Asher, they're all returning comedians
Speaker 4: from last year. You guys all were in the competition
Speaker 4: last year. I think that's a huge benefit, you know,
Speaker 4: to kind of fill out the competition and kind of
Speaker 4: see how it works and see what the Oshkosh crowd
Speaker 4: is responding to. So I don't think it's a coincidence
Speaker 4: that the four people that won are all returning folks.
Speaker 4: And I'm excited to see you guys get more time
Speaker 4: on stage, obviously, than your typical eight minutes. And it's
Speaker 4: going to be a great time. So that is September 26th.
Speaker 4: That's a Saturday.
Speaker 3: Down with the flyer.
Speaker 6: We already read it, Carl.
Speaker 4: We already read it. It's a Saturday, September 26th at
Speaker 4: the Oshkosh Arena. We hope to see you there. You
Speaker 4: can get tickets ahead of time or at the door.
Speaker 4: That's going to be a lot of fun. I'm looking
Speaker 4: forward to it. You said more than eight minutes. How
Speaker 4: many minutes does each come again? I need to check
Speaker 4: on that. I think.
Speaker 6: It goes ten.
Speaker 2: I wanted to say 15. I thought it was 15.
Speaker 4: I'm doing 15.
Speaker 3: Let's do 12.
Speaker 4: It's 13. It's in the rules. I should know this.
Speaker 4: I need my exercise. I'm running the lights. TB determined.
Speaker 2: I think it's 15.
Speaker 4: I think it's 15 too.
Speaker 2: Alright.
Speaker 9: You can also vote for your favorite Oreo.
Speaker 4: Banana pudding.
Speaker 2: Keeping the bugs out of there.
Speaker 4: Especially that one.
Speaker 3: All right, do we want to do our comedy tip first,
Speaker 3: or do we want to go right into our weekly segments?
Speaker 6: Let's do the comedy tip.
Speaker 3: All right, comedy tip, which was provided by Stanley tonight.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 6: I've been practicing these.
Speaker 3: You didn't even say wild.
Speaker 6: We did say wild.
Speaker 3: So this week's tip is when you're performing out there, don't.
Speaker 6: Ask for applause. Hey, this one's great.
Speaker 3: Hey, you didn't think that was funny? Hey, can I
Speaker 3: get an applause for that?
Speaker 9: You can as a host.
Speaker 4: Don't pander. Unless you're a host. If you're a host,
Speaker 4: that's different.
Speaker 6: Hosts can pander.
Speaker 3: And I guess the headliner can do a little bit
Speaker 3: of pander, too. Are you trying to resuscitate that cockroach?
Speaker 4: I'm glad we brought the cameras in this week.
Speaker 6: I thought he was snorting that thing like Motley Crue would,
Speaker 6: you know?
Speaker 4: He's moving.
Speaker 3: I did it.
Speaker 6: He's moving. I did it.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, he's alive.
Speaker 3: Don't give Dean applause for this one either.
Speaker 4: I did it!
Speaker 3: Something about Dean is freaking me out lately because he.
Speaker 4: Ever since he won round four, he's been different.
Speaker 2: He's been able to resurrect the dead.
Speaker 3: He's resurrecting the dead. He knew who Stan's hero was
Speaker 3: when I was mentioning this.
Speaker 6: I didn't even know that was your hero.
Speaker 3: I asked him before we got going. I was like, seriously,
Speaker 3: how did you know?
Speaker 4: And he's like... I don't know.
Speaker 6: It's a mystery.
Speaker 4: Is that why we did it? I don't know. It's
Speaker 4: a mystery.
Speaker 6: I'm the Jedi. I'm the Jedi. I'm the Jedi.
Speaker 4: I'm the Jedi. Who put these cameras on?
Speaker 2: Who let the dogs out?
Speaker 3: We're going to get, like, some report, like, you guys
Speaker 3: aren't allowed to do this.
Speaker 4: We're going to be shadow banned.
Speaker 9: They're going to be like, hey, this episode's banned.
Speaker 2: The neighbors are going to come and say, everything okay?
Speaker 4: Could you imagine if they walked in and asked.
Speaker 8: Imagine what your neighbors would say with all these lights
Speaker 8: in here.
Speaker 3: They've never seen this place as lit up.
Speaker 4: As it is now.
Speaker 2: They're probably like, what is going on?
Speaker 6: They're recording movies now.
Speaker 9: They're going to call 911 to report a fire.
Speaker 2: I don't think they realize who they live next to.
Speaker 4: No. Spider-Man.
Speaker 3: Contact Spider-Man.
Speaker 4: That's right. I love that bit. It wasn't a bit.
Speaker 4: It's a true story.
Speaker 3: I know, but I just love that line.
Speaker 4: It's kind of a bit now. It's kind of a bit, yeah.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 2: Didn't we talk about Murder and Mysteries?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: We sure did. Three Sheeps Brewing Company, September 28th. Yes,
Speaker 4: I remember now. Okay, yeah. Cash Money Carl's making his
Speaker 4: Murder and Mystery debut. You're not supposed to know that
Speaker 4: because he's supposed to be incognito, but it'll be fine.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't know what that means, though.
Speaker 4: He's the waiter.
Speaker 2: He is going to be a table.
Speaker 4: Oh, you'll know. D-Von! Get the tables! Why did you
Speaker 4: tell him I was casting him as the table?
Speaker 6: He's going to be Tim Curry.
Speaker 2: He's just going to sit there in the corner with
Speaker 2: a blanket over him so he looks like a chair.
Speaker 2: I did that playing Ango sequence. Kind of worked.
Speaker 4: Kind of worked.
Speaker 6: Do we need to call that out right now?
Speaker 9: That Dan.
Speaker 6: Not Dan.
Speaker 9: You're not Dan.
Speaker 6: You're Stan. Stan might have been responsible for... Hey, if
Speaker 6: I order food, sometimes I put Dan on it instead
Speaker 6: of Stan. So I get it. I'll answer to that.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: Is Stan is responsible for Dolly's death?
Speaker 6: No, he's not. Don't listen to him.
Speaker 3: He picked the Dolly pinball machine.
Speaker 6: And then.
Speaker 4: Literally, then she died.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
Speaker 8: Well, then I'm going to get a whole list of
Speaker 8: pinball machines that I want to try.
Speaker 4: And if they don't exist, I'm going to make them.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute.
Speaker 3: He wants to make them move the Mike Stan pinball machine.
Speaker 4: Oh, no!
Speaker 6: I did, so I thought it would be a great idea.
Speaker 3: So, wait, are you going to kill us via pinball?
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 6: Okay. I thought it would be a great design idea.
Speaker 4: It's just accidental. You didn't actually. Yeah. This is for,
Speaker 4: what do they say, for entertainment purposes only?
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 4: His segment did not kill Dolly Parton.
Speaker 2: I loved Dolly.
Speaker 4: We all love Dolly.
Speaker 6: Dolly was one of my favorite people in the whole world.
Speaker 3: I'd be pressed to find someone that actually doesn't like Dolly.
Speaker 3: If you went out and did one of those interviews
Speaker 3: on the street, Dean, are you alright?
Speaker 2: The first boner I ever got was from Best Little
Speaker 2: Whorehouse in Texas.
Speaker 9: I wasn't asking that, but alright.
Speaker 4: Actually, that's not what it was.
Speaker 2: I'm kidding. It was Paula Abdul.
Speaker 4: Paula Abdul?
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, carry on.
Speaker 6: Was it from that music video?
Speaker 4: It was from... Wait.
Speaker 6: Rush, rush, hurry, hurry, love will come to me.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 4: Rush.
Speaker 3: All right, all right.
Speaker 4: We're going to get copyrighted.
Speaker 3: Yeah, keep it in your pants.
Speaker 6: Balls. To the wall.
Speaker 3: I like how any time it's something like.
Speaker 2: Actually, that wasn't my first one. That was just my
Speaker 2: best one.
Speaker 3: Okay. I like how every time it's like a copyright thing,
Speaker 3: that's how Dean thinks it counters it.
Speaker 6: It's just like going, balls.
Speaker 3: Balls. Oh, that means we don't get copyrighted.
Speaker 4: We don't get copyrighted. I did it. We did it. Well,
Speaker 4: from my understanding, I mean, I know some platforms will
Speaker 4: just automatically take it down. But like on YouTube, if
Speaker 4: you post something and it's not monetized, it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 4: But the... person who owns the copyright can claim it
Speaker 4: and then it can get taken down well that works
Speaker 4: on instagram and facebook well instagram and facebook will just
Speaker 4: mute it right away well they'll.
Speaker 2: Keep it up but then any of the earnings go
Speaker 2: to the person they'll.
Speaker 3: Send you an alert and they'll say hey just so
Speaker 3: you know this.
Speaker 2: You are not making the money someone.
Speaker 3: Else it's not just always the artist sometimes they'll do
Speaker 3: a split profit.
Speaker 2: That's true i did have that happen yeah Okay.
Speaker 3: So there's a whole mix of things. But, yeah, you
Speaker 3: always have to kind of be watching out. And they
Speaker 3: never tell you what the rules are, and they're always
Speaker 3: changing them to make the algorithm all funky.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: Algorithmy.
Speaker 9: But if we talk about the algorithm, he gets mad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he does.
Speaker 9: We don't want to make Daddy mad.
Speaker 4: We're back to calling him Daddy. Yeah, Daddy Algorithm.
Speaker 6: I'm trying to make him feel good.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: So where were we? We were just about to eat
Speaker 4: another chicken and waffles Oreo.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 6: We were talking about the comedy tip, but I don't
Speaker 6: know if we.
Speaker 3: I know Stan introduced it, but I was just saying,
Speaker 3: is there any other feedback from anybody on that? Like,
Speaker 3: as a comic watching another comic do it, I think
Speaker 3: it's annoying unless it's the host or the headliner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I've seen shows where people are just like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's hear it for yourselves.
Speaker 2: They pander way too long.
Speaker 3: Why are they doing it? Maybe that's what we need
Speaker 3: to get into here. Well, sometimes they're bombing. I feel
Speaker 3: like that's the majority of the time. Sometimes they really
Speaker 3: do like the place or they're excited or whatever. I
Speaker 3: think you can tell, though, when it's that versus the other.
Speaker 9: A joke didn't land. It's crickets like we heard before.
Speaker 3: And then it's like, oh, usually that one's a standing
Speaker 3: ovation type joke or whatever. which I think is a
Speaker 3: better way to do it than just saying give it
Speaker 3: up for whatever. Or they say if they're failing, they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: I served or, you know, I beat cancer. Like something
Speaker 3: that has nothing to do with what they were doing
Speaker 3: at the time, but they're changing directions because whatever they
Speaker 3: were doing wasn't working.
Speaker 6: I wasn't even saying that. I was just saying don't say, hey,
Speaker 6: let's give it up for that.
Speaker 4: That was funny.
Speaker 9: I know, but I think it's tied to that too, though.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, just go at it stronger with something else.
Speaker 6: That's all I mean.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I recently saw somebody, they
Speaker 2: said their punchline, nothing happened. So they said it again,
Speaker 2: nothing happened.
Speaker 4: Oh, boy.
Speaker 2: And then they said it a third time.
Speaker 4: And then everybody laughed.
Speaker 2: And then finally people laughed because I think they realized
Speaker 2: they were being held hostage.
Speaker 6: At least he didn't say, hey, let's give it up
Speaker 6: for that.
Speaker 8: Can I get some applause? I mean, he pulled a
Speaker 8: little bit there. But still, I'm talking more from a...
Speaker 8: Not from another comic, but from an audience member.
Speaker 2: I think that's how we do the crowd work show.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to be like, let's hear it for
Speaker 2: that guy.
Speaker 9: And Grandpa.
Speaker 2: And Grandpa.
Speaker 4: He'll be there. I'm sure. A milder version of that
Speaker 4: is like, we having a good time tonight? Like, you know,
Speaker 4: you're like in between... a bit, right? And the audience is.
Speaker 2: Let's hear it for yourselves.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's hear it for yourselves. Or, are we feeling good? Or,
Speaker 4: who's drinking? You know, those are like... What are you drinking?
Speaker 2: Let's hear it for Bud Light.
Speaker 3: I always hate, especially like at an open mic, for instance,
Speaker 3: when you have like 20 people going up, when anybody asks,
Speaker 3: how are we doing tonight?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it. Icebreaker, if you're new, something,
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's still not.
Speaker 6: No, just don't do it.
Speaker 4: Because, unless... I.
Speaker 9: Feel like Tom Segura.
Speaker 3: in that one bit you know yeah okay anyway um
Speaker 3: like cause like yeah the mood isn't changing unless you
Speaker 3: say how are we doing changed it we missed fat
Speaker 3: Tom Segura um.
Speaker 2: Stop it he listens he gets mad every time we
Speaker 2: say that I.
Speaker 3: Hear about it I want him to eat eat some
Speaker 3: chicken and wobble he's going through a divorce he's either
Speaker 3: gonna get he's either gonna go really skinny or he's
Speaker 3: gonna get fat yeah cause Christina wanted fat Tom too
Speaker 3: okay I said it alright.
Speaker 4: Ouch ouch is right Jesus.
Speaker 3: What jeez okay that says something about you like Somebody's like,
Speaker 3: you were better when you were fat.
Speaker 4: My wife only knows me as fat.
Speaker 6: Same here. I've never not been fat.
Speaker 4: Same. I only know you as fat, too. See?
Speaker 6: Oh, damn. I'm not flat, Stanley.
Speaker 4: I'm fat, Stanley. That's good. Did you say that on
Speaker 4: another camera? Yeah, look at that.
Speaker 6: All right, let's do it again.
Speaker 4: Repeat. All right, ready?
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 6: So I'm not flat, Stanley. I am fat, Stanley.
Speaker 9: All right, we're using that one.
Speaker 4: Good take, good take. Oh, that was funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't been looking at the camera for a minute.
Speaker 4: Me neither. Every time I talk, I'm looking at you guys.
Speaker 4: I know, so am I, because I'm just, like, looking.
Speaker 2: Except for I can't see Carl, because he's, like, right
Speaker 2: in line with my arm and my mic.
Speaker 9: He did that on purpose.
Speaker 2: I just kind of see, like, a little bit of, like,
Speaker 2: this going on.
Speaker 9: After over 100 episodes, he's, like, I'm not looking at
Speaker 9: him anymore.
Speaker 2: Well, he's always got his glasses on.
Speaker 4: His glasses? Because these lights are bright.
Speaker 6: I knew they were going to have bright lights.
Speaker 4: He was wearing his glasses after the old-fashioned tour.
Speaker 2: Did you ever get those spy glasses that they have
Speaker 2: a mirror on the front so you can see stuff
Speaker 2: behind you?
Speaker 3: I also had the actual spy gear. It was the
Speaker 3: early 2000s that they came out with this so long ago.
Speaker 2: That was so long ago.
Speaker 3: That's when I was still a kid.
Speaker 4: Still a spy.
Speaker 2: That's when he was still a spy.
Speaker 3: They came out with this brand of toys called Spy Gear.
Speaker 3: It was stuff like motion sensors.
Speaker 4: I'm familiar.
Speaker 2: Binoculars that had a microphone.
Speaker 3: And the flashlights in it.
Speaker 2: It had a flashlight in it? I heard flashlight.
Speaker 4: Which one is it?
Speaker 6: Both.
Speaker 3: It's got walkie-talkie sunglasses.
Speaker 6: Sounds like stuff you could order from Bazooka Joe.
Speaker 2: Probably.
Speaker 3: But the one I thought was really cool is they
Speaker 3: had this one that was like a motion detector thing.
Speaker 3: And they gave you this little box that looked kind
Speaker 3: of like a battleship.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And so you would draw a grid for how you
Speaker 3: placed your motion detectors out. And then it would beep
Speaker 3: and light up on your grid. So it was actually
Speaker 3: kind of like doing coding and wiring.
Speaker 6: Diagrams and stuff.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 4: So it was kind of cool.
Speaker 3: And they had little hidden air blasters, like Nerf blasters
Speaker 3: and stuff. My dad actually built me a false bottom suitcase.
Speaker 4: Suitcase?
Speaker 6: Briefcase.
Speaker 4: Briefcase.
Speaker 6: Suitcase? He could fit you in there.
Speaker 9: But briefcase.
Speaker 4: He loves his briefcase.
Speaker 9: It had office stuff.
Speaker 3: Honestly, that's where I brought the briefcase back into my
Speaker 3: set of stuff. Because when my dad made that, I
Speaker 3: thought that was so cool. And I've been trying to
Speaker 3: look online for someone to make those. And I'm like...
Speaker 3: This definitely wasn't a thing like Etsy or anything like that.
Speaker 3: So my dad thought that up, which was probably the
Speaker 3: most creative thing he's ever done. But for me as
Speaker 3: a kid, being into spy stuff and going to the
Speaker 3: International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C.
Speaker 6: And that's a great museum. It is.
Speaker 3: It's a fantastic museum. But being into that stuff and
Speaker 3: my dad just like, I'm making you a briefcase, and
Speaker 3: it's got this, like, false bottom. You can hide a
Speaker 3: Nerf gun in there.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 3: Hide your snacks.
Speaker 4: That's some, like, Dad of the Year type shit right there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it looks like they're snacks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, snacks.
Speaker 6: Secret spice snacks, yeah.
Speaker 4: Emphasis on the snacks for a second.
Speaker 2: All the bugs over there look like they're reenacting the
Speaker 2: opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. Like the ones right here.
Speaker 4: Look at them.
Speaker 6: He's like, Bangalores!
Speaker 2: Let me know when they're doing Braveheart. They might be
Speaker 2: doing that. I don't know what they're doing. It kind
Speaker 2: of looks like Saving Private Ryan.
Speaker 6: I don't think we watched the same movie.
Speaker 3: All right, should we move into our weekly segment?
Speaker 4: Yes. All right, who wants to start?
Speaker 9: I think we should probably get started with.
Speaker 3: One of Stan's, I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do Pinball.
Speaker 6: Pinball play? Yeah, Pinball play.
Speaker 4: This is the Mic Stand special segment, Pinball Play. Hit
Speaker 4: or miss with Stan Dabrowski.
Speaker 2: Time to play.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 8: So this week's pinball, we're going back to the classics.
Speaker 8: This week's going to be a classic pinball called Comet. Yeah,
Speaker 8: it was manufactured by Williams Electronics way back in 1985, Carl.
Speaker 3: That was before I was born.
Speaker 6: It was before you were born.
Speaker 2: It makes your mouth turn green.
Speaker 4: Comet.
Speaker 2: It tastes like Listerine.
Speaker 6: Comet.
Speaker 3: It'll make you vomit. You vomit.
Speaker 9: I figured that part out.
Speaker 2: So, comet and vomit today.
Speaker 4: Sorry.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: Well, it's a... All right.
Speaker 3: The machine does not play that.
Speaker 2: But I do appreciate it.
Speaker 6: Comet.
Speaker 4: Anyway. Now, where was I?
Speaker 2: Sorry. I was trying to be entertaining.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It was very entertaining. Thank you.
Speaker 6: I appreciated it.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Anyway.
Speaker 3: So this pinball was back in 1985, and it was.
Speaker 6: Themed after an amusement park.
Speaker 8: So there's a ramp that's got a roller coaster backdrop
Speaker 8: or paint, whatever it is, picture on there. It's got
Speaker 8: two target banks, one on each side, and there's supposed
Speaker 8: to be a shooting gallery. And then the coolest feature
Speaker 8: of this game... is this jump ramp. It's off to
Speaker 8: the side.
Speaker 6: It's supposed to be like a daredevil on a motorcycle type.
Speaker 4: Thing to it.
Speaker 9: I always thought of it as like bozo buckets.
Speaker 4: No, no, no. I can see.
Speaker 9: I'm not going to say that. That makes more sense.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Look at the pictures because on the picture itself, it's
Speaker 8: got a little guy on a motorcycle or a jet
Speaker 8: bike or something. But there are three different holes it
Speaker 8: can fall into as you jump this ramp.
Speaker 6: One's 20,000 points, I think.
Speaker 4: One's 50,000.
Speaker 6: And then the last one's 200,000 points.
Speaker 5: Which....
Speaker 3: Doesn't sound like a lot, but we have to remember
Speaker 3: it's a classic machine that usually didn't... Some things you
Speaker 3: would hit would be a point at a time.
Speaker 6: Right, right.
Speaker 9: So that's huge.
Speaker 8: This one here is the first machine ever to offer
Speaker 8: a $ 1 million shot.
Speaker 4: Sure.
Speaker 2: Dollar or points?
Speaker 6: Dollar, because I'm playing for money.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 6: A million points. Now you got me confused. But you
Speaker 6: can get a million points.
Speaker 4: You can exchange them for dollars.
Speaker 6: Million points.
Speaker 10: Wow.
Speaker 6: My money.
Speaker 8: So you got to get a bonus, and then that 200,000
Speaker 8: point turns into a million dollar points, right?
Speaker 6: The other thing on this machine, it's got the.
Speaker 8: So the lanes on the outsides of each flipper, you've
Speaker 8: got usually the very end is supposed to be a
Speaker 8: drain lane, right? As I call it. It's called the
Speaker 8: out lane. And then the one inside would come back
Speaker 8: towards the flipper. Well, this one's reversed. So the out
Speaker 8: lane is actually the non-drain lane.
Speaker 6: And then the right-hand side's got... I didn't think of that.
Speaker 6: You're right.
Speaker 8: And then the outside's got just a drain lane on it.
Speaker 8: So just a cool machine.
Speaker 2: I love playing it.
Speaker 6: I like trying to score big points on there.
Speaker 2: I have hit the million.
Speaker 6: points at one time.
Speaker 8: Yes, I was there for it. So just a great
Speaker 8: classic machine. Again, this is one I put.
Speaker 6: In my collection.
Speaker 8: And I'm going to be honest with everybody, I don't
Speaker 8: know all these facts. I look them up when I
Speaker 8: go to find these machines and I like them. And
Speaker 8: I did see one, I saw a video of Chris Cafferty,
Speaker 8: if anybody's familiar with him, from the band Sabotage, the
Speaker 8: Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Speaker 4: He plays guitar.
Speaker 6: Well, this was the first machine that he bought for
Speaker 6: his collection.
Speaker 5: Oh, really?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was kind of cool. Must be a
Speaker 4: pretty good machine then.
Speaker 3: I was going to say, how does that information come about?
Speaker 4: I like Sabotage.
Speaker 8: I like Transparent Orchestra. And I like this machine. So
Speaker 8: I'm on the same page with Chris Cafferty.
Speaker 6: Who would have known that? That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 9: How did they find out?
Speaker 6: Oh, he just saw it somewhere. He played it.
Speaker 3: Then he liked it.
Speaker 6: And so he bought one.
Speaker 9: But how do we know that he bought one?
Speaker 8: That's what I'm trying to get at.
Speaker 3: Take my word for it.
Speaker 6: I'm flying the video.
Speaker 4: No, no, no. He calls. They talk on the phone
Speaker 4: at night sometimes.
Speaker 3: That's actually pretty cool.
Speaker 2: That's very deep in.
Speaker 9: The ocean type of lore there.
Speaker 6: I'm just curious how that lore comes to be. I
Speaker 6: saw it on the internet. A video of him talking
Speaker 6: about it.
Speaker 4: Literally. Okay. Somebody was interviewing him. On what platform?
Speaker 2: How come Stan is only like five episodes in and
Speaker 2: he's already irritated with Carl?
Speaker 4: I'm not irritated with him.
Speaker 2: You're just like looking at him.
Speaker 8: He's like, I don't understand the question.
Speaker 4: Fine, I won't ask questions. But how? I don't understand
Speaker 4: the question.
Speaker 6: No, it's fine. Saw an interview on it.
Speaker 4: I can look it up.
Speaker 6: We'll put it in the episode notes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be cool.
Speaker 9: I'd like to see that interview.
Speaker 6: I want to see it was like Hall of Fame pinball,
Speaker 6: Hall of Fame or something like that.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 6: That's it.
Speaker 3: That's it for this week's segment.
Speaker 4: Let's move to Mike Stan's special segment, Pinball Play, Hit
Speaker 4: or Miss with Stan Dabrowski.
Speaker 9: And that was Pinball Play.
Speaker 6: What a great outro, too.
Speaker 4: So good.
Speaker 2: So good.
Speaker 9: All right, we want to go into my segment?
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go into Cash's segment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got Money Talks number five this week, so
Speaker 3: here's Money Talks.
Speaker 5: Now, time for Move the Mic Stand special segment, Money

Speaker 1: This is Money Talks number five with Cash Money Carl,
Speaker 1: and I'm Cash Money Carl. Limited edition is a code

Speaker 5: This has been.
Speaker 7: Move the Mic Stand Special Segment Money Talks with Cash
Speaker 7: Money Carl.
Speaker 6: Get money.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 6: Carl, where do you come up with this shit? No, like,
Speaker 6: where's the content come from?
Speaker 2: But how?
Speaker 9: From my brain, Stan.
Speaker 3: But how?
Speaker 6: Because you don't have a brain. Okay.
Speaker 3: I like how I made Stan say something that he
Speaker 3: didn't say, but I insulted myself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 6: Moving on.
Speaker 9: Let's go to WTF.
Speaker 6: Watch this film with Dean Berg. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Move the mic stand podcast special segment. Dean Berg presents WTF.
Speaker 7: Watch this film.
Speaker 4: Okay, that was enough.
Speaker 3: Hit it.
Speaker 2: That was enough. No, so this week's film is called
Speaker 2: The Ultimate Weapon. It is a Canadian film. From 1998.
Speaker 2: And it stars none other than the not-so-immortal, because he's dead,
Speaker 2: Hulk Hogan. Terry! That's why you brought that in.
Speaker 4: That was really sad.
Speaker 2: That was sad. I shouldn't have said that. Anyways, so
Speaker 2: basically what it is, is Hulk Hogan, he plays like
Speaker 2: a mercenary. His name is Ben Hardball Cutter, I believe.
Speaker 2: And the premise around the movie is that basically him
Speaker 2: and this other guy, they find and destroy this... It
Speaker 2: wasn't even.
Speaker 4: That much money. The other guy's name was Cobra. Was it?
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 4: I couldn't remember.
Speaker 2: But they find this weapons stash and they destroy it.
Speaker 6: For $ 20 million.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like $ 20 million. These guys are all
Speaker 2: pissed off. I mean, I'd be pissed off about $ 20
Speaker 2: million too.
Speaker 4: That's 20 ram jumps.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be. I wouldn't be pissed off about $ 20 million.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of ram jumps.
Speaker 9: That's just pocket change, baby.
Speaker 2: But in 1998, that was a lot, a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Now that weapons cash would probably be worth like $ 7 billion.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But anyways, so basically then the story is about these
Speaker 2: people coming after him. It reminded me a little bit
Speaker 2: of like Commando. with Arnold Schwarzenegger. But the thing that
Speaker 2: was setting me for the loop the biggest is not
Speaker 2: the acting, not that the way it's filmed like a
Speaker 2: Lifetime movie, like it really feels like you're watching a
Speaker 2: Lifetime movie. It was Hulk Hogan's haircut.
Speaker 4: Yes. Yeah, his hair.
Speaker 2: His hair. I had seen somewhere or heard somewhere that
Speaker 2: originally the movie was going to be called Contra and
Speaker 2: it was going to be based on the video game.
Speaker 2: And so if you think of the two guys on Contra,
Speaker 2: there's one guy that kind of has like dark hair,
Speaker 2: a little bit longer. And then the guy with the
Speaker 2: short kind of buzz cut, what do you call it,
Speaker 2: crew cut or whatever. He's kind of got a haircut
Speaker 2: like that. He doesn't have his normal Hulk Hogan hair.
Speaker 2: And it's not even like Hollywood Hogan when he was
Speaker 2: a bad guy hair because he has hair on top.
Speaker 2: And that was throwing me for a big time loop
Speaker 2: for the whole movie.
Speaker 4: That's all you can think about.
Speaker 2: Well, it was pretty distracting. Um, but there was a
Speaker 2: lot of other, like, um, just weird things, just weird things,
Speaker 2: continuity things.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I, I, a couple of that I saw, like,
Speaker 3: I liked the one where, uh, the guy fires two shots,
Speaker 3: and then it was Hulk Hogan fired two shots, and
Speaker 3: then it showed that the gun was empty, and then
Speaker 3: in the next scene, it's already reloaded.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he never actually reloaded it.
Speaker 4: You don't call me that here. You call me hardball.
Speaker 6: But also, it.
Speaker 3: Was also only two shots. It was the henchman's gun,
Speaker 3: so it was not fired, so it definitely shouldn't have
Speaker 3: been empty after two shots.
Speaker 2: Well, then there's the part, too, where like, this lady
Speaker 2: who just, like, hates him. You can tell she, like,
Speaker 2: hates him. And she's mad at him.
Speaker 4: Which lady?
Speaker 2: Linda.
Speaker 4: Listen, Linda.
Speaker 2: Linda listen no and then I don't remember her name
Speaker 2: but then all of a sudden out of nowhere he
Speaker 2: proposes to her and she's like I'm so mad at
Speaker 2: you spoiler alert but yes it's not a spoiler dude
Speaker 2: it's not I don't know it sounded like a spoiler
Speaker 2: just by talking about the plot I probably spoiled the
Speaker 2: whole thing also.
Speaker 3: By how he describes things I'm very confused and I
Speaker 3: watched the movie so he's not.
Speaker 6: Really spoiled I only watched half.
Speaker 4: Today all I got was the haircut.
Speaker 3: I liked that during one scene You can see the
Speaker 3: sweat around Hulk Hogan's butt. Like, very prominent. Did nobody, like,
Speaker 3: check that in post?
Speaker 2: It's Canadian, Carl.
Speaker 6: That's right.
Speaker 4: It wasn't all filmed in Canada.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying it would have been a hot day
Speaker 3: like it is in the studio, so you could see
Speaker 3: us sweating, right?
Speaker 6: But it was like.
Speaker 2: Are you saying you want to show your butt sweat, Carl?
Speaker 2: We have cameras.
Speaker 4: No, I don't really want to show it.
Speaker 6: He thought about it.
Speaker 3: No, I was looking to see if it would even
Speaker 3: show up on my pants.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Another one was.
Speaker 6: Maybe I don't want to say that. That one is
Speaker 6: kind of a spoiler alert.
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody cares.
Speaker 3: This other one, though, you definitely see the stunt double.
Speaker 3: It's just funny that they needed to use the stunt
Speaker 3: double for this. It was during one of the shootout parts,
Speaker 3: and then Hulk Hogan's there, and he's running towards a fence.
Speaker 3: And then they pan to the stunt double hopping over
Speaker 3: the fence.
Speaker 4: Just a little hop, too.
Speaker 2: Just a little hop.
Speaker 3: You know that during that filming of that, he's running
Speaker 3: to the fence, and he's like, Stunt double!
Speaker 2: Well, and the funny thing with it, too, is like...
Speaker 2: On some interview or something, Hulk Hogan was talking about it.
Speaker 2: He was like, oh, my movies have made millions and billions.
Speaker 2: And that one didn't.
Speaker 6: I couldn't even find financials on that one. There probably
Speaker 6: isn't any.
Speaker 2: We probably boosted it just by watching it this weekend.
Speaker 4: It's going to be trending now.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you about an Easter egg I.
Speaker 4: Noticed that maybe you might not have? Maybe not.
Speaker 3: So at one point, they take this relic. necklace thing
Speaker 3: from the bad guy right yep and for whatever reason
Speaker 3: the like liberal painter pottery lady is also a computer
Speaker 3: expert um that's me sorry every time yep she's gonna
Speaker 3: be in trouble for that one okay um uh anyway She's, like,
Speaker 3: hacking into the computer, and she's like, I could take
Speaker 3: over this device. Did you ever notice what it said
Speaker 3: for the device, Dean, when it was on your computer?
Speaker 2: I didn't notice it this time.
Speaker 4: You've noticed it before? I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 3: It literally says it's... A secret file.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 6: That's what the file is labeled.
Speaker 4: A secret file.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: I don't like how we never find out what it is, though.
Speaker 2: No, but it's a secret file.
Speaker 6: It's because it's a secret, Carl. It's a secret. That's
Speaker 6: what I want to know.
Speaker 3: That's the only thing I needed to know about, and
Speaker 3: I never found out.
Speaker 4: I don't have enough storage on my phone. That camera's dead.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 6: That's fine.
Speaker 3: Is it hot enough for the other two to go off?
Speaker 4: No, we're still trucking.
Speaker 9: They're still going.
Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 2: Hi. And imagine these gigantic lights are not making it
Speaker 2: any cooler in here.
Speaker 4: Dude, my phone is so hot right now. Feel this.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, I turned the kids around.
Speaker 4: You don't like hot phones?
Speaker 2: Yesterday, we went to that Shamba or Shamba, whatever, Safari,
Speaker 2: and I had my camera on my phone, and I
Speaker 2: zoomed in to take a picture or something. And then
Speaker 2: I just set it on my lap and I forgot
Speaker 2: to turn off the camera mode. My phone got so hot.
Speaker 4: I bet.
Speaker 2: Like I thought it was just from in the sun.
Speaker 2: But anyways, back to the ultimate weapon.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Um, so as far as you guys want to ruin
Speaker 4: for us.
Speaker 2: Now, um, but as far as like, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: like WTF, like, you know, you'll watch this rating.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like, well, as far as like the weird factor of WTF. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 2: It's not really that weird. You know, it's not like
Speaker 2: a weird movie. So it doesn't get a really high,
Speaker 2: you know, I'd probably only give it like a 2.8
Speaker 2: as far as weird. The acting is bad.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you what you were going
Speaker 3: to give the show. I think you're giving it too.
Speaker 4: High of a rating.
Speaker 6: I don't want to input your rating, but I think.
Speaker 2: As far as weird?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not that weird.
Speaker 4: No, it's not.
Speaker 6: 2.8 seems like it's too high.
Speaker 3: You think so? I feel like it doesn't even break one.
Speaker 6: Maybe it's 0.8.
Speaker 2: The acting is just bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not even that weird, though.
Speaker 4: If you guys keep talking about this, you're going to
Speaker 4: make me have to watch it.
Speaker 2: But you can watch a movie and just be like,
Speaker 2: what the... Fuck, did I just watch because it's bad acting?
Speaker 4: Right, but I feel like.
Speaker 2: You think that's too high?
Speaker 9: I feel like that is too high, personally. I guess
Speaker 9: I can go with that.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying the gotta watch it, the GWI, that's high.
Speaker 3: I feel like that's, personally, but I feel like the
Speaker 3: weirdness thing, very low. It wasn't really that weird to me.
Speaker 3: It's just, it's an obscure movie. I think the only weird,
Speaker 3: I think that was the only thing that's really weird,
Speaker 3: and I think it gets a weird score just from there.
Speaker 2: Okay, then I'll just bump it down to two.
Speaker 7: Two?
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll give it two. I'm not trying to influence you.
Speaker 9: No, you're fine, but I feel like, I feel.
Speaker 4: Like, No, you influenced him.
Speaker 3: I did influence him.
Speaker 2: I dropped the. 8.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2: Because Carl said, I'll give it a. 8, so then
Speaker 2: I was just like, I will take. 8 off Carl.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: Uh, And then as far as watchability, I mean, that's
Speaker 2: probably like a.
Speaker 4: GWI.
Speaker 2: GWI. Got to watch it. I'd say it's probably... Now,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think... some of the other movies that
Speaker 2: we threw in there. So I'd say it's like a 3.6.
Speaker 2: Kyle's going to be like, no way, dude, that's a 5.
Speaker 4: That's a 5, brother.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't say it's a 5, brother.
Speaker 6: It's a 4, brother. I can't wait until we compare
Speaker 6: food now.
Speaker 9: No, I enjoyed it. I don't think I ever would
Speaker 9: have watched it without your recommendation.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 9: So I'm glad you did that, and I would recommend
Speaker 9: it to other people.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it was a fantastic movie, like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is the best writing ever.
Speaker 4: Ultimate Weapon or Suburban Commando, which one?
Speaker 9: I haven't seen Suburban Commando.
Speaker 4: I haven't seen either.
Speaker 3: Why didn't you say damn it, Ben?
Speaker 4: Don't oust me. Because I've never seen anything. I was
Speaker 4: so sheltered as a child.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Were you Mormon?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Not to say anything against Mormons.
Speaker 3: Ben and I grew up in the same household. We're brothers, actually,
Speaker 3: if you didn't know that.
Speaker 4: Can you see the resemblance? Totally.
Speaker 3: Can you?
Speaker 4: Ben got all the hair.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 3: You're going to influence my scores.
Speaker 9: I'm going to make fun of you.
Speaker 2: What did I say? 3.6, I think you said.
Speaker 3: 3.6, yeah. 3.2?
Speaker 2: No, 3.6 and then the.
Speaker 4: Other one was 2. So 2 even for WTF and
Speaker 4: then GWI is 3.6? Yeah. I mean, I think.
Speaker 2: You like it, I like it, because of Hulk Hogan,
Speaker 2: you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Is Hulk Hogan down there?
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 9: He's not on your lunchbox?
Speaker 2: No, some of those, it took Carl and I like
Speaker 2: six months to figure out who the guy who looks
Speaker 2: like Goldberg is and is like Johnny Exercise or some shit.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 6: For the characters.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the cameras can't see us. Now that we have cameras.
Speaker 2: We got a little wrestling figure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys can't see all the cool stuff that's.
Speaker 2: In there because of the placement of the cameras. We
Speaker 2: had to unplug the super cool lights and the lightsaber
Speaker 2: in the corner.
Speaker 4: We should do a quick tour when we're done.
Speaker 6: You can see part of you right there.
Speaker 4: You're like, no.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can see that. These comedy light.
Speaker 3: Is there like a market for a show like Cribs,
Speaker 3: but for podcast studios?
Speaker 4: Maybe. Honestly, there's a market for a lot of freaking...
Speaker 4: media these days. I feel like everybody's always on their
Speaker 4: phone consuming shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let us know if you want a Cribs podcast thing.
Speaker 4: But anyways, that was The Ultimate Weapon.
Speaker 2: And that was Watch This Film.
Speaker 6: Nice, nice, nice, nice.
Speaker 7: That was WTF Watch This Film with Dean Berg. Now
Speaker 7: back to whatever else was going on.
Speaker 4: Turn it up!
Speaker 6: Good job, Dean.
Speaker 10: Okay, thanks.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll admit, like, I watched it, and I
Speaker 2: was watching it over the weekend, and then I got distracted,
Speaker 2: and so then I was watching it, and I was really, really,
Speaker 2: really trying to pay attention to, like, because I knew
Speaker 2: Carl was going to bring up, like, an Easter egg, or.
Speaker 3: Do you not want me to bring up Easter eggs anymore?
Speaker 4: Shots fired.
Speaker 6: No, you can.
Speaker 4: I'll just do.
Speaker 9: Spark notes for the movies going forward.
Speaker 4: No, it's good.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 6: I like it.
Speaker 2: Even during Greasy Palace, you brought up stuff that I
Speaker 2: had forgotten, because I was like, I just watched this
Speaker 2: on the weekend, and I already forgot that. I should
Speaker 2: probably write down notes.
Speaker 4: Carl does.
Speaker 3: I know he does.
Speaker 6: All the time.
Speaker 3: For everything.
Speaker 4: Facts.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So now, what do we got?
Speaker 3: We got one segment left. And this is, I think,
Speaker 3: this one's going to be a very.
Speaker 9: Heated argument. Not necessarily argument, but just people's thoughts on things.
Speaker 4: I'm going to get an Oreo out to get ready
Speaker 4: for this.
Speaker 3: This one is hitting up the food stand, but this
Speaker 3: week We got a special food, don't.
Speaker 4: We, Stan? We do.
Speaker 5: Move the Mic Stand Podcast. Special segment. Stan Dabrowski presents
Speaker 5: Hittin' Up the Food, Stan.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 4: This week, Hittin' Up the Food, Stan.
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about.
Speaker 6: a food I think everybody loves, and that's pizza. Pizza!

Speaker 3: he doesn't like pizza, everybody.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he said it.
Speaker 4: Cancel him. We're going to have.
Speaker 8: I know everybody's going to have at least one... Or
Speaker 8: two or three places. So we're not going to just say, hey,
Speaker 8: this is the best pizza I've ever had. This is
Speaker 8: where you get it from. Because there's too many different
Speaker 8: variables with pizza.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fair.
Speaker 6: So we'll talk, you know, maybe what's your favorite of
Speaker 6: all time. We'll talk, you know, maybe local.
Speaker 4: Yep. And then on a run.
Speaker 9: Or maybe a specialty type of pizza.
Speaker 4: Maybe a pizza, yeah.
Speaker 9: Like a type of pizza.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we can do that. Yeah, that sounds good. All right.
Speaker 6: So who wants to kick us off? Who wants to
Speaker 6: talk about their pizza?

Speaker 2: they were like get out of.
Speaker 4: Here we should we should try you guys should try

Speaker 4: I think it's called the, the, like the Wisconsin cheese
Speaker 4: steak or something. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It sounds right. Cause I go there for a bit.
Speaker 2: I like the, um, the New York deli or whatever
Speaker 2: it's called.
Speaker 7: Yup.
Speaker 2: That has like, uh, what's on there.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 6: It's got the stromy.
Speaker 4: And everything you find in a New.
Speaker 2: York deli and sauerkraut. It's awesome. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Eaton's is good. Eaton's is good if you need
Speaker 4: a quick pop in. They also do subs, too. Is
Speaker 4: that local?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's two of them in town here.
Speaker 4: There's two in Oshkosh.
Speaker 2: I think there's one in Sheboygan now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and one in West Bend, too, I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's all take and bake. But their prices
Speaker 2: are actually pretty good. Like, you can get, you know, like,
Speaker 2: if you order from, like, Domino's or Papa John's or something,
Speaker 2: you can get, like, three or four pizzas from them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for means.
Speaker 2: For what it would cost.
Speaker 9: I looked it up.
Speaker 3: It's called the Wisconsin Cheese Steak.
Speaker 4: That's what I thought. Do you want me to read
Speaker 4: what it actually is?
Speaker 8: Yes, please.
Speaker 4: Let's see how good I did.
Speaker 9: Okay, so creamy garlic sauce.
Speaker 4: Yep, that's the white sauce.
Speaker 3: Mozzarella, roast beef, grilled peppers, and onions topped with cheddar cheese.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 6: And just looking through.
Speaker 3: The website, there's a ton of pizzas on here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of specialty pizzas.
Speaker 6: There's a Reuben one.
Speaker 2: It's very good i might have to check this place
Speaker 2: out you should you should what's what's in the room
Speaker 2: it's on your way home potentially it's probably gonna be
Speaker 2: close though yeah it's probably gonna be close.
Speaker 3: It's thousand island sauce corn beef mozzarella swiss cheese and sauerkraut.
Speaker 4: The the actual base sauce is thousand island.
Speaker 3: I love that yeah actually oh wow uh just a
Speaker 3: couple other ones that just caught my eye scrolling through
Speaker 3: real quick though uh.
Speaker 6: A quiche pizza oh Try this breakfast favorite.
Speaker 9: That's in the description.
Speaker 4: Do you like breakfast pizzas?
Speaker 7: Nope.
Speaker 3: Ham, bacon, green peppers, onions, and Swiss. Your choice of
Speaker 3: pizza sauce or creamy garlic sauce?
Speaker 4: They don't have like a biscuit sauce?
Speaker 6: Yeah, like a sausage and gravy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be good.
Speaker 3: And then the other one that really caught my eye
Speaker 3: that I just thought was interesting was a paella.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that one.
Speaker 9: Shrimp, crab, pepperoni, onions, fresh mushrooms, black olives, and mozzarella.
Speaker 2: Don't they have a po'boy one, too?
Speaker 3: Is it crab with a K or a C? It
Speaker 3: says crab with a C.
Speaker 6: It's supposed to be real.
Speaker 3: Well, they also had a crab pizza I saw on here,
Speaker 3: but I didn't feel like that was too much of
Speaker 3: a unique-ish one, because I've seen that on the.
Speaker 6: Coasts, but yeah.
Speaker 4: Alright, who else got a specialty pizza they like?
Speaker 2: Mine.
Speaker 2: Is, um, all aroma has a caprese pizza.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's literally one of my favorite pizzas of all time.
Speaker 6: Nice.
Speaker 2: Traditional kind of pizza sauce.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: And then it has, uh, slices of fresh mozzarella and then, uh,
Speaker 2: basil leaves on it. And that's it. Super simple.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But it's like literally one of my favorite pizzas in
Speaker 2: the whole world.
Speaker 4: All aroma does it right. They do.
Speaker 3: They do.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I always kind of think of them. Don't hate me immediately.
Speaker 9: They're like Olive Garden.
Speaker 7: But better.
Speaker 4: But better. Do you want to get canceled? I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4: It is similar to Olive Garden. Way better.
Speaker 3: It's got a good mix of things, though.
Speaker 4: But they do have more than just the Italian, if
Speaker 4: you're in the mood for a little something-something that's not Italian.
Speaker 3: Even though this isn't a choice that I have in
Speaker 3: here at all, they're kind of like an Uno's Pizza. Oh,
Speaker 3: I love Uno's Pizza. I mean, I like Uno's, too,
Speaker 3: but I'm saying that's not one of my picks. I'm
Speaker 3: just saying Uno's has a little mix of everything.
Speaker 2: They have a good meatball sandwich, too, like a meatball sub.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've gotten that.
Speaker 6: Is that Alaroma or Unos?
Speaker 4: Alaroma. Okay, I'll have to get that. I like a
Speaker 4: meatball sub. Yeah, it's pretty good. They have a couple
Speaker 4: really good subs.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think I've ever gotten anything there that
Speaker 2: I've ever been disappointed in.
Speaker 7: Same.
Speaker 2: I've only been a little bit scared when I sit
Speaker 2: by the motorcycle.
Speaker 6: That's usually where they sit me. I always sit over there.
Speaker 2: I'm always worried it's going to fall. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 2: the guy that it'll fall on. Cool guys could die
Speaker 2: in cool ways, and this is how I'm going to die.
Speaker 3: Is that why they always send me there? They're hoping
Speaker 3: that it falls on me?
Speaker 4: No, they probably figure.
Speaker 2: We know it will not fall today.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 2: Come on.
Speaker 3: Got him. Got him.
Speaker 6: Pick on Carl now.
Speaker 2: No, he just set it up for that.
Speaker 4: Easter eggs.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who said that.
Speaker 4: That's funny.
Speaker 9: I'm not going to ask.
Speaker 3: Next time they try to seat me there, I'm going
Speaker 3: to ask to move because I'm not cool enough, I guess.
Speaker 9: I'm going to say this is Dean. Dean Burr's booth.
Speaker 4: King of the North.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I haven't been called that in like a week.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 9: How does that make you feel?
Speaker 4: That was what they do. It's whatever.
Speaker 3: Oh, he does like it a lot. It's his subtle
Speaker 3: way of saying he. He's like, you guys need to
Speaker 3: call me that more because I like it. All right.
Speaker 9: My specialty pizza.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: That sounded so goofy. Okay. Well, I'm goofy. No, not
Speaker 4: a bad way. It was funny.
Speaker 9: I grew up in Illinois, suburbs of Chicago.
Speaker 4: Boo, boo, boo. Just kidding.
Speaker 3: So deep dish pizza is like a thing there.
Speaker 4: Delicacy.
Speaker 3: But I was always growing up eating Gino's East deep
Speaker 3: dish and Giordano's deep dish, and I really didn't like it.
Speaker 4: Okay. So just to clarify for the people that might
Speaker 4: be local listening, when you say Gino's East. Yeah.
Speaker 2: You're not referring.
Speaker 4: To the Geno's on West Johnson. In Fond du Lac.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't even know there was a Geno's.
Speaker 6: Sorry, Fond du Lac. I didn't know.
Speaker 2: It's not affiliated.
Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I just want to make sure people don't get confused.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
Speaker 4: So that was good. Thanks, Ben.
Speaker 6: But I didn't really like the deep dish pizza.
Speaker 4: Good thing it wasn't Geno's. Theirs is pretty good.
Speaker 3: The thing was, I felt like it was too much dough.
Speaker 6: And like, not that.
Speaker 8: Too much dough from Cash Money Carl.
Speaker 3: Good connection, Stan. But it was like cake. Sometimes it
Speaker 3: felt like it was undercooked or something weird like that.
Speaker 3: But I do like deep dish pizza, but my pick
Speaker 3: place is Lou Malinati's. which is an illinois place but
Speaker 3: they do have two locations in wisconsin they have one
Speaker 3: in fox point and one in brookfield.
Speaker 6: Oh nice three then there's one.
Speaker 3: In oak creek there's one in oak creek awesome they're
Speaker 3: expanding but the thing i like is even though it's
Speaker 3: a deep dish pizza the crust is crispy and crunchy
Speaker 3: and tasty like it tastes good like honestly the crust
Speaker 3: is almost like the best part which if you're saying
Speaker 3: that about a pizza is kind of weird i guess
Speaker 3: but i'm just saying the crust is that tasty that it's.
Speaker 6: Like this is good stuff there's a takeout in waukesha
Speaker 6: too oh there's.
Speaker 8: Takeout four jeez this is all just they're going through
Speaker 8: my head now.
Speaker 3: Where's the other one stands yeah it's my spot grew
Speaker 3: up in my area too so yeah he would know
Speaker 3: that but um They also did a fundraiser with my
Speaker 3: niece for school.
Speaker 4: Oh, nice.
Speaker 3: And they were selling vouchers for the fundraiser. So I
Speaker 3: went down to Fox Point and picked up frozen pizzas,
Speaker 3: and it was like the easiest transaction of paper to
Speaker 3: pizza I've ever had in my entire life.
Speaker 8: Did you get the uh did you pepperoni no but
Speaker 8: did you buy the uh pan that you can buy
Speaker 8: to make the pizzas in because i do sell.
Speaker 3: That i did not know that yeah it came in
Speaker 3: just like a regular aluminum pan that you could yeah
Speaker 3: yeah no i'm just gonna wipe it out first.
Speaker 8: All right yeah did you read the instructions put some
Speaker 8: oil in there yeah oh yeah yeah i.
Speaker 3: Didn't make it though oh i did but yeah i
Speaker 3: know she.
Speaker 9: Took the oil yeah abby put the oil in there
Speaker 9: yeah I didn't do it.
Speaker 4: You can get the pan to actually cook that pizza.
Speaker 4: Does it make it even crispier?
Speaker 6: Because that's crazy. I'm assuming it makes it like the
Speaker 6: restaurant makes it.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 9: I could be Lou.
Speaker 6: You could be Lou.
Speaker 4: I want Lou Grant. No, Lou Malinati.
Speaker 3: All right, Stan, what's your specialty?
Speaker 8: All right, so if I was picking, I'm kind of
Speaker 8: a player. I like sausage pizza. Lou Malinati's is my
Speaker 8: favorite pizza, though. um but uh you know if I'm
Speaker 8: gonna make a specialty pizza I like barbecue chicken pizza yeah.
Speaker 6: So that's really good and I also like I like so.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go on the same theme you had with
Speaker 8: the Wisconsin beef but it's a Chicago Italian.
Speaker 2: Beef alright my uh fave barbecue pizza is the Cheese
Speaker 2: Mountain one from Quick Trip.
Speaker 4: That is pretty good.
Speaker 2: It's really good. But I don't order barbecue pizza usually
Speaker 2: from a place either.
Speaker 4: I do Chicken Bacon Ranch every once in a while.
Speaker 4: Pizza has a good slice of Oh, he is a
Speaker 4: good choice. I love Ian's. A lot of drunken nights there.
Speaker 6: And how unique they are.
Speaker 3: And big old slices.
Speaker 4: Rocky and Madison.
Speaker 6: It's by the slice.
Speaker 4: You can buy a pizza, but it's by the slice.
Speaker 6: In Panther Arena now for the animals.
Speaker 4: Oh, really?
Speaker 6: That's cool.
Speaker 4: Dude, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: That's a good value, too, I'm betting. It's not bad.
Speaker 3: I was going to say, I feel like the Panthers Arena...
Speaker 3: Or whatever.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 8: Get two slices and they'll give you a box to
Speaker 8: carry it to your seat.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just saying, I feel like they don't gouge
Speaker 3: you for prices as far as the arenas go.
Speaker 4: No, it's very reasonable.
Speaker 6: Very reasonable at Panther Arena. I love going there.
Speaker 9: So that's specialty pizzas?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so Italian beef.
Speaker 9: Okay, so what do we need?
Speaker 3: We need a local favorite and maybe an all-time favorite?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So my all-time favorite, Carl already brought up, it's Lumanati's.
Speaker 4: Oh, we knew it. We knew it. we knew it
Speaker 4: the way you were he could smell it on my
Speaker 4: breath that's what i had for dinner.
Speaker 3: Tonight that's what i had for dinner tonight.
Speaker 6: It's very very good so that's my favorite so.
Speaker 3: I'll go next um my favorite place is called aurelio's
Speaker 3: in addison illinois oh yeah i know them um Just
Speaker 3: a pepperoni pizza. I always like a pepperoni pizza. But
Speaker 3: it's not just that it's a good-tasting pizza. It's the
Speaker 3: memories that are associated with.
Speaker 4: It, I think.
Speaker 3: So when I was in Boy Scouts, we would do
Speaker 3: a lock-in every year, and we'd go to the laser
Speaker 3: tag place next door, and it was the cheesiest laser
Speaker 3: tag place. It had an alien that was the most
Speaker 3: dumb robotic thing that would pop up and scare you,
Speaker 3: and you're like, Ah, it was so stupid. Um, but
Speaker 3: playing laser tag with my friends and then going to
Speaker 3: really always eating pizza there and then taking enough leftovers
Speaker 3: of like 10 pizzas. back with us and then staying
Speaker 3: up all night and playing video games and eating pizza.
Speaker 4: Just good memories.
Speaker 3: And that was a good pizza that was both good
Speaker 3: as hot fresh pizza and as cold pizza.
Speaker 6: There's multiple ones too, so you don't have to go
Speaker 6: to Addison, but that's good.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know if all locations are the same, so
Speaker 3: I'd have to check them out in regards to if
Speaker 3: they taste the same, but the one I know particularly
Speaker 3: was the one in Addison next to Laser X Laser
Speaker 3: Tag by the IMAX Theater.
Speaker 4: Nice.
Speaker 6: Yeah. What do you got, Dean?
Speaker 3: Let's go to Ben.
Speaker 2: Ben already did his, didn't he?
Speaker 9: Not all-time favorite.
Speaker 2: Oh, all-time favorite? I just wanted to record some of
Speaker 2: what we had going on here so I could post
Speaker 2: a teaser later.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I want to post a teaser.
Speaker 4: That's how we do it in the business, baby.
Speaker 2: So, Deep Dish, locally... It's kind of a toss-up between
Speaker 2: Gino's and Anginetti's.
Speaker 4: They're both good.
Speaker 2: They're both very good. I haven't had Gino's in a
Speaker 2: long time, though.
Speaker 3: Not affiliated with the Gino's East in Chicago.
Speaker 6: Correct.
Speaker 2: They are, I want to say, a little bit more
Speaker 2: expensive than Anginetti's.
Speaker 4: And they used to do a buy one get one night.
Speaker 4: Back in the day, I used to go all the
Speaker 4: time as a kid.
Speaker 2: There was actually a couple places in town that had
Speaker 2: really good different kinds of pizzas.
Speaker 4: That's what Fonalex best adds. A lot of pizza places.
Speaker 2: Pizza Twitter Yeah you know for a while It seemed
Speaker 2: like there was like Tons and tons And then there
Speaker 2: wasn't It was hard to come by But now yeah
Speaker 2: There's Joe's Fox Hut There's Sal's There's Bob's Bob's There's
Speaker 2: Anginetti's Anginetti's There's.
Speaker 4: Gino's Maggiano's All the chains Jets Maggiano's Rockies.
Speaker 2: There used to be a Cristiano's For a little while
Speaker 2: By the pick and save Yeah I don't think that's
Speaker 2: open anymore By.
Speaker 4: Tucker's Pizzaville Do you ever go to Pizzaville Yes Yeah
Speaker 4: we used to go there all the time I think
Speaker 4: of the Pizzaville Do you remember.
Speaker 2: And maybe I don't know if you were in the
Speaker 2: area at that time, but there used to be like
Speaker 2: when you would go in the North Fond du Lac
Speaker 2: and there was like a game place.
Speaker 4: Where they had like mini golf there. No, I don't
Speaker 4: think so.
Speaker 2: I can't think of what it was called.
Speaker 4: Where in North Fond du Lac? Right on the main drag?
Speaker 2: As you're getting into North Fond du Lac. So now
Speaker 2: you're coming down Scott Street and then there's, I don't
Speaker 2: even know what road that is. Maybe it's Van Dyne Road. maybe,
Speaker 2: I don't know, but there was like a, there's like
Speaker 2: a warehouse there, and, uh, they used to have like, uh,
Speaker 2: mini golf and all that other stuff, um, and they
Speaker 2: had an arcade in there, and they used to have good,
Speaker 2: they used to have pretty good pizza too. On Monday
Speaker 2: nights you could get a good deal, but, um, I, uh,
Speaker 2: my all-time favoritest pizza place, um, is probably Port Sandy
Speaker 2: Bay and Two Rivers. Um, They make like these snow
Speaker 2: coaster pizzas. So if you think of those metal. What
Speaker 2: did you say? Snow coaster pizzas.
Speaker 9: What's a snow coaster?
Speaker 2: You know like a snow coaster. You know like on
Speaker 2: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. He's got that sled. Looks like
Speaker 2: a shield.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: When he polishes it up. That's a sled.
Speaker 3: Saucer.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They're called snow coasters. And they make pizzas on those things.
Speaker 6: Holy cow.
Speaker 9: That's got to be a big old pizza.
Speaker 2: I mean they used to actually put them on there.
Speaker 2: Now they're just like that size.
Speaker 4: But the. Pizza's really good.
Speaker 2: They don't have, like, deep dish or anything like that,
Speaker 2: but their pizza's good. But you may see at gas
Speaker 2: stations or in, like, at festivals or different places, they'll
Speaker 2: sell frozen Port Sandy Bay pizzas. They're not the same.
Speaker 2: They're not close.
Speaker 4: But you know their pizza's good if they've started to
Speaker 4: sell it retail in stores.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: For sure.
Speaker 2: But it's not the same. And they probably do that
Speaker 2: on purpose. But they have, like, little video games.
Speaker 6: And stuff there when you go there.
Speaker 4: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 7: Nice.
Speaker 2: But... Yeah, because there used to be a place called
Speaker 2: Joycean Pizza, and it was also like a charter, Joycean's charter.
Speaker 4: You could go charter Lake Michigan or whatever.
Speaker 2: They had phenomenal pizza, but they closed decades ago. So
Speaker 2: I think Port Sandy Bay is probably my favorite pizza place.
Speaker 4: And it's not like.
Speaker 2: They have anything super fancy. They don't have deep dish.
Speaker 2: They don't have... But they got different kind of things.
Speaker 2: The only thing is, like, I want to say they
Speaker 2: have a pizza there that's called the Two Rivers Special,
Speaker 2: except for they call it the Trivers Special.
Speaker 4: Trivers.
Speaker 2: And I do not say Two Rivers that way. I
Speaker 2: say Two Rivers. I don't say Trivers. Just like I
Speaker 2: say Smelt, not Shmelt. We discussed this on an episode
Speaker 2: once before.
Speaker 9: Do they have pepperoni?
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They have all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: They might even have anchovies.
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 2: When I was in Duluth with Rob, and we went to,
Speaker 2: I think it was Sammy's Pizza or something like that,
Speaker 2: because there was one in Appleton that closed. That place
Speaker 2: was pretty good, but it was kind of funny because
Speaker 2: all of a sudden Rob's looking at the menu and
Speaker 2: he's like, hey, do you like anchovies? And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: they're good. Can we get anchovy and mushroom?
Speaker 6: And I was like, yeah, sure.
Speaker 2: And then the lady, he's like, yeah, we'll have anchovy
Speaker 2: and mushroom. And the lady's like, oh, we don't have
Speaker 2: those anymore. And then he was just like, oh, okay, well,
Speaker 2: then we'll just get sausage and mushroom. And then she
Speaker 2: came back later, and he's like, but you don't have anchovies?
Speaker 2: And she was like, no, we don't have anchovies. We
Speaker 2: haven't had them since COVID. Why do you still have them.
Speaker 4: On your menu? Where they sell them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were still on the menu.
Speaker 4: People must not order them very often if they left
Speaker 4: them on the menu.
Speaker 9: Or it's expensive to change the menu.
Speaker 2: Maybe.
Speaker 4: For sure, expensive to change the menu. You could also just.
Speaker 3: Cross them out on each one in turn. Restaurant intern.
Speaker 4: My favorite pizza place, probably one that I would go
Speaker 4: to as a child a ton. My parents, my mom,
Speaker 4: this was her, but still is her favorite. It's called
Speaker 4: Mama Mia's in West Dallas. And one of the things
Speaker 4: I love, I mean, the pizza is good. It is
Speaker 4: really good pizza, but they have massive garlic bread. And
Speaker 4: I know this isn't a segment about garlic bread, but
Speaker 4: the garlic bread is like super thick and, Like this thick.
Speaker 6: How thick?
Speaker 4: This thick. It's literally like this.
Speaker 6: Okay, but if people aren't watching, how thick is that?
Speaker 4: No, they're watching. They're watching. It's like an inch and
Speaker 4: a half thick, and then it's probably like six to
Speaker 4: eight inches long.
Speaker 6: Inch and a half. You can make a spaghetti and
Speaker 6: meatball sandwich with that.
Speaker 2: That's freaking huge.
Speaker 4: It's so good. Just go check it out. Mamma Mia's
Speaker 4: in West Elm.
Speaker 10: They used to have two locations. You can put that
Speaker 10: in your mouth. That's huge. That's huge.
Speaker 4: Inch and a half. I've got to give a shout
Speaker 4: out to the local Joe's Fox. That is a favorite
Speaker 4: of mine and it's a favorite of Fond du Lac's
Speaker 4: because it's been around since the 50s or 60s. That's
Speaker 4: pretty cool. And they're They have dive bar-like vibes, you know,
Speaker 4: very small seating area. But they are king of pizza
Speaker 4: in Fond du Lac, I would say.
Speaker 7: Nice.
Speaker 4: I have a new local favorite.
Speaker 2: I actually thought that was a strip club when I
Speaker 2: first went there.
Speaker 4: No, that's two blocks down. Yeah, it is. Go ahead. Sorry, Stan. No, no,
Speaker 4: that's great.
Speaker 8: I've got a new local favorite that I found when

Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: My local one for me is the Mind Shaft.
Speaker 6: I'll never know.
Speaker 4: They have great spaghetti.
Speaker 3: Stan is so bitter because he didn't get spaghetti. When
Speaker 3: we talked about spaghetti and then we went to the
Speaker 3: mine shop and Stan wanted spaghetti. But I wanted fish
Speaker 3: fry too. He wanted fish fry too. He made a choice.
Speaker 4: And it was good fish fry.

Speaker 6: Nope.
Speaker 3: And then Stan's like, I tried to order the kids. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's trying to order a baby spaghetti.
Speaker 2: There's a baby sitting by the table.
Speaker 4: 11 and under.
Speaker 6: 11 and under.
Speaker 4: Right. But I'm saying, give me your spaghetti, baby.
Speaker 3: He pointed to a baby and he said, can I
Speaker 3: order the baby a spaghetti and then just have a
Speaker 3: taste of it as you give it to them?
Speaker 4: Drop it off here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: She goes, uh, no, he can't do that either.
Speaker 4: No, can't do that.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, he didn't get the spaghetti. But the pizza there,
Speaker 3: I like doing their Monday buy one, get one and
Speaker 3: getting two pepperoni pizzas. And then I have pizza all week.
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? Just pepperoni?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I know you said that earlier.
Speaker 9: I like a good pepperoni pizza.
Speaker 4: That's what I do.
Speaker 6: I like sausage pizza.
Speaker 3: It's not the best pizza out there, but I do
Speaker 3: like it locally. When the pandemic started, it was actually kind.
Speaker 4: Of really good.
Speaker 6: Shout out to Chuck, who's our guest next week.
Speaker 3: I just, they really didn't have it figured out right
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the pandemic.
Speaker 6: Pandemic!
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 4: One more?
Speaker 9: Pandemic.
Speaker 4: Pandemic! Okay. Wait, it's been, Mineshaft has been open that
Speaker 4: long in Oshkosh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, they opened during the pandemic.
Speaker 4: Pandemic!
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I used to go to the Mineshaft in Hartford with
Speaker 4: my grandma, because my grandma lives in Hartford.
Speaker 9: They just sold that.
Speaker 6: They just sold that.
Speaker 4: For a lot of money.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Good money.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Not just, yeah, not cash money car wheels.
Speaker 3: Hey, you can still use it at certain establishments. Um.
Speaker 9: But I like that you can get the buy one,
Speaker 9: get one.
Speaker 3: It's reasonably priced, and it is good, but I need
Speaker 3: to try, what did you say it was?
Speaker 6: West End.
Speaker 9: West End pizza.
Speaker 4: West End pizza in Oshkosh.
Speaker 9: It's really good.
Speaker 6: I'll be there on September 26th.
Speaker 3: September 26th at 6 p.m., not a.m.
Speaker 4: Because it won't be open.
Speaker 3: Stand there for a meet and greet and autograph signing.
Speaker 3: I'll sign anything you want. He'll sign your pizza. I'll
Speaker 3: bring some merch.
Speaker 4: Get one of these hats.
Speaker 2: But when you said, you know, you'd like to just
Speaker 2: get a pepperoni, you know how, like, Dave Portnoy... Yeah,
Speaker 2: he just does cheese. Yeah, he just says cheese, and
Speaker 2: that's what he does to judge the pizza. I usually
Speaker 2: do that with, like, a pepperoni. Like, if I'm trying
Speaker 2: a place for the first time, I usually just get pepperoni,
Speaker 2: because it's kind of my baseline.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like what we said when we went
Speaker 3: for donuts. Just get a glazed yeast donut as a baseline.
Speaker 3: If they can do that well, the other donuts are
Speaker 3: going to be good.
Speaker 4: True.
Speaker 3: I do have one bonus pizza place I want to mention,
Speaker 3: just because... us talking about pizza reminded me, I wasn't
Speaker 3: particularly a fan of the pizza. It just didn't vibe
Speaker 3: with me as much, but the experience of the place
Speaker 3: is awesome. And that's the Oregon Piper pizza.
Speaker 9: Anybody ever hear of this place?
Speaker 4: No, we never had that experience. Okay. So, um, I don't,
Speaker 4: it's in Greenfield.
Speaker 6: It's in Greenfield.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 9: Greenfield, Wisconsin.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And they bring in, uh, a guy that plays an old,
Speaker 3: an Oregon, Oregon. And, And these guys are geniuses musically.
Speaker 3: Like you can request almost any song and they can
Speaker 3: play it. And that, that to me is like crazy.
Speaker 6: Will he play tulips?
Speaker 7: Sure.
Speaker 2: Run his organ?
Speaker 4: Sure.
Speaker 3: Awesome.
Speaker 2: That one took a minute.
Speaker 6: But he will not, he will not die during the performance.
Speaker 4: That was a great school joke. I do, I do
Speaker 4: want to, I want to say one thing about Dave
Speaker 4: Portnay real quick. Um, You know how he always says
Speaker 4: one bite? Everybody knows the rules.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he takes like 50 bites. Yes!
Speaker 4: I don't even know who's this guy. That makes me
Speaker 4: so angry every time. I'm like, it's not one bite.
Speaker 2: Do you want to know why I have beef with
Speaker 2: Dave Portnoy?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 2: Because during the pandemic, I thought maybe Carl was going
Speaker 2: to yell. During the pandemic, they had this kind of,
Speaker 2: it was kind of like a drawing kind of thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was trying to raise money for pizza shops
Speaker 4: and stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he was doing that, but then it was
Speaker 2: something where you could get a Packer helmet signed by
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4: Oh, okay. And I won one.
Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
Speaker 4: And it's right there. Wow.
Speaker 6: I didn't see a signature on it. Right.
Speaker 2: And I got it, and there was no signature from
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers on it when I got it. Because it
Speaker 2: was supposed to be like an actual helmet. I wouldn't
Speaker 2: wear that one to play football. I mean, it's better than, like, some,
Speaker 2: but it's... Yeah, that's not like... It's not like league.
Speaker 4: I like how we have... Yeah, even high school players
Speaker 4: aren't wearing.
Speaker 6: Those kind of helmets. I like how we have cameras.
Speaker 4: And you can't see the camera.
Speaker 2: You can't see it.
Speaker 4: You can't see it. It's hanging right there. But, yeah, no,
Speaker 4: so they had this.
Speaker 3: It was kind of like a.
Speaker 2: Drawing, and you had to answer some question or whatever,
Speaker 2: like a couple.
Speaker 4: And then, you.
Speaker 2: Know, if you got the question right and how fast
Speaker 2: you responded and all that, because it was like a...
Speaker 2: They're doing, like, a lot of, like, Zoom kind of meaty,
Speaker 2: greedy kind of things. Like, I did one with The Undertaker.
Speaker 4: It was pretty cool.
Speaker 6: Nice.
Speaker 2: You know, and stuff like that. And, yeah, I got that,
Speaker 2: and my helmet came, and I was all excited, and
Speaker 2: I was like, well, I won this helmet that Aaron
Speaker 2: Rodgers is going to sign, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 4: And Aaron Rodgers was, like, you know, on the video.
Speaker 2: He wasn't, like, at the same place.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And, you know, they were giving away X amount of
Speaker 2: 100 helmets or whatever.
Speaker 4: Mine's not signed.
Speaker 2: If it is, it's really small somewhere I can't see.
Speaker 4: Dang, or got rubbed off. Maybe.
Speaker 2: I doubt it. Squirrels. Not that it really would matter
Speaker 2: much anymore nowadays, but yeah. It's still a cool helmet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's cool you won that.
Speaker 2: But that was my beef.
Speaker 4: And you have that floating one. What's that guy's name, Dave?
Speaker 4: Dave Portnoy, Barstool Sports.
Speaker 2: Yeah, El Presidente.
Speaker 6: No, you can't do that.
Speaker 4: I don't know who Dave is. I know who Mike
Speaker 4: Portnoy is. Mike Portnoy?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's the drummer for Drink Theater.
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know who that is.
Speaker 6: Alright, should we wrap it up?
Speaker 3: Did you say anybody else have any other final pizza comments?
Speaker 2: No. No, I don't think so.
Speaker 6: What about dessert pizza? How do we feel about dessert pizza?
Speaker 4: It depends on the.
Speaker 2: Depends on the place i mean like a pizza ranch

Speaker 2: would order.
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
