Speaker 1: So Saturday night was the regional Emmy Awards or whatever,
Speaker 1: and so the the old cast that I did with
Speaker 1: Tarik and Alan May was up for Emmy Award. Did
Speaker 1: not win. Oh sorry, yeah, did not win? Say again,
Speaker 1: who won? A bunch of losers? You the yeah, well
Speaker 1: not my eyes, not my eyes.
Speaker 2: So it was a moral victory for you the no,
Speaker 2: you know what I.
Speaker 1: You know who I felt really badly for, Like, Monumental
Speaker 1: won a bunch of awards, like they even I think
Speaker 1: they even sent out a press release saying that it
Speaker 1: was a record year for them based on how much
Speaker 1: how many awards they won, And all I could think
Speaker 1: of is like, well, I didn't help that. But like
Speaker 1: I felt bad for like the people like in our category,
Speaker 1: like the people that actually like worked for Monumental. Like
Speaker 1: that's who I felt bad for. But man, did I
Speaker 1: have a great time. I sat next to Joe b
Speaker 1: he won, I sat next to Ben and not all
Speaker 1: night Tark was at our table, and then there were
Speaker 1: like a bunch of like Monumental people who aren't who
Speaker 1: aren't on TV. Right, but the table was awesome. The
Speaker 1: table was great.
Speaker 2: But it sounds like there's a big butt coming yeah.
Speaker 1: Well three things. Sitting at that table and getting into
Speaker 1: like all kinds of hockey talk with Joe was awesome.
Speaker 1: And Tark is so social, he just keeps getting up
Speaker 1: and walking around. There were two things. Three things about
Speaker 1: Joe Bedinadi and don't tell him I'm revealing any of this.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Number one, we know Joe is very well dressed.
Speaker 2: Of course, sure joeby sitting the night from RMMB.
Speaker 1: If if there was somebody there that was and there
Speaker 1: was one person because it was black tie optional, right,
Speaker 1: I dressed up. I dressed up.
Speaker 2: I saw your cufflings, thank you.
Speaker 1: There was there was somebody who wore like salmon colored
Speaker 1: jeans who I thought Joe B was gonna I thought
Speaker 1: his head was gonna explode, haround announced our table. That
Speaker 1: is wrong on every level, say, and I mean every level.
Speaker 2: I mean black TI optional is a huge clue as to.
Speaker 1: How wore suits.
Speaker 2: Right, yes, and that's fine. Tell me he wore a tux.
Speaker 3: Oh god, yes, man, it's not black tioptional means you
Speaker 3: wear a tux.
Speaker 1: Eve, Joe wore a tux. And the other thing I
Speaker 1: learned from Joe B. No belt if you're wearing suspenders.
Speaker 2: That's like you or a cumber bun.
Speaker 1: The he was not wearing a cumber bun. Joe B
Speaker 1: looked good. Joe B looked really good. Number one, Number
Speaker 1: two they had like a little like three piece band
Speaker 1: there that in between like the awards and stuff, they
Speaker 1: would play like like schmalty music and stuff whatever. I mean,
Speaker 1: they were fine.
Speaker 2: They did their music.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no no. But it's not like
Speaker 1: it's a keyboard, a drum and a guy on a bass,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it doesn't sound like
Speaker 1: Joe B. Though, So Joe B and I were like,
Speaker 1: let's play name that tune. So we were doing it
Speaker 1: with the whole table. Joe is a freaking musical savant. Really, yes,
Speaker 1: he is a musical savant. And I will say this,
Speaker 1: if we didn't get two in a row, Joe would
Speaker 1: get pissed because we were on a losing streak of
Speaker 1: like two in a row that we couldn't get and
Speaker 1: it wasn't us, it was really the band. However, Joe
Speaker 1: B gets angry, angry when you get on a losing streak,
Speaker 1: and I know he can't do it on the broadcast,
Speaker 1: but to hear an F bomb come out of Joe
Speaker 1: B's mouth is unbelievable, Like it's great, that's like here
Speaker 1: in somebody cuss that's never supposed to cuss. And then
Speaker 1: this part will embarrass Joe. So if anybody sees him, no,
Speaker 1: because you know what, he took a shot at the
Speaker 1: guy in the salmon pants.
Speaker 3: Again, I'm with him than that. I'm against suits. At
Speaker 3: Black's absenal well, a lot of people wore suits. I
Speaker 3: wore a suit. I wasn't in a tux.
Speaker 1: But if you run into Joe B or if you
Speaker 1: want to, like maybe send him a message. It was
Speaker 1: well noticed that Joe b ate his salmon with his
Speaker 1: salad fork mm hmm. And he even was like I
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm doing this, and he was he ate
Speaker 1: it with his salad fork, and I was like, Joe,
Speaker 1: that is a major no no. And He's like, I
Speaker 1: am so embarrassed. So yeah, I'll call you out, Joe B.
Speaker 1: There we are. That's a very blurry photo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, great shot, Elliott, God, how dewey do I look there?
Speaker 1: Oh there's Tarak. He looks good.
Speaker 2: How did you take this with your upskirt camera? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I took it with my shoe.
Speaker 2: It looks like him.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's Joe b and I. We're having fun.
Speaker 2: How late did the night go?
Speaker 1: The whole event, like the awards are like four and
Speaker 1: a half hours long. It goes on for imagine.
Speaker 2: There are a ton of categor.
Speaker 1: There's a ton of categories, and you know that's what's awkward,
Speaker 1: is like like a lot of a lot of people won,
Speaker 1: Like Drew Wilder one, he wasn't there. I guess Channel
Speaker 1: four was like too cheap. The uh say again?
Speaker 2: Was he working?
Speaker 1: Maybe? I don't know, I know, I know what he was.
Speaker 2: Through a lot of time on the weekends.
Speaker 1: I saw I saw one person. I saw two people
Speaker 1: from Channel four that I recognized. I saw I saw
Speaker 1: Adam tuss he won. But I didn't go over and
Speaker 1: say Hi, you didn't Diane. There's people at that table
Speaker 1: that hate me, Like I saw when I was pulling
Speaker 1: in the park. I pulled in and I saw hair
Speaker 1: walking through the parking lot and she shot me a
Speaker 1: look like I hope your car blows up. So no,
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna go over there and talk to them.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, how many I knew.
Speaker 1: There were a lot of five hundred categories. There are
Speaker 1: so many, there's five hundred categories. Yeah, and it goes on.
Speaker 1: But you know the part that's awkward, So like people
Speaker 1: are winning for like these big news features that they did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's awkward to hear an entire room and like
Speaker 1: one of them is like they did a feature on
Speaker 1: Relicia Rudd, the girl who's been missing forever. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they ended up winning. And so when they do the announcement,
Speaker 1: instead of saying uh, and the Emmy goes to and
Speaker 1: I don't remember what reporter it was Adam Tuss from
Speaker 1: Channel four. That's not what he won for. He won
Speaker 1: for like laying in a pothole. They'll go and the
Speaker 1: Emmy goes to, can't find Relicia Rudd and everybody starts clapping.
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's awkward. That's bad. Yeah, that's awkward. Oh
Speaker 1: what'd you find?
Speaker 2: I found what Adam went for?
Speaker 3: Oh it wasn't for reliou Rudd. No, but you said
Speaker 3: he won for laying in a pothole. I don't know
Speaker 3: what it was. See Baltimore Bridge collapse. Oh that's another one.
Speaker 3: A lot of people won for Baltimore Bridge collapse. And
Speaker 3: it would be like.
Speaker 1: The six dive when the bridge and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know who cleaned up in the in the sports categories?
Speaker 1: Whoever does the production My Monumental did very well except
Speaker 1: for the old cast. The I think we're the only
Speaker 1: ones that lost the stupid testicle. The the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1: Their production crew won everything.
Speaker 3: I'm going through this pages type in Ravens pages.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they they won a ton and even Joe b
Speaker 1: was like, they're good.
Speaker 2: I'm already at seven to eight. Wow. Yeah, nine, they
Speaker 2: won more than eleven.
Speaker 1: They won more than PBS Appalachia Back of the Room.
Speaker 3: Come on, yeah no, they did won thirteen of their
Speaker 3: fifteen nominations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did well. They did really well.
Speaker 2: I looked for four did win fourteen?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, they did them. Yeah, no, they did well,
Speaker 1: did well, But I mean they didn't you know who
Speaker 1: and I was looking for. I wanted I wanted Andrew
Speaker 1: from Channel twelve to be there. He wasn't there. I
Speaker 1: wanted Macy to be there. I would have spent all
Speaker 1: night talking at the bar.
Speaker 2: On your side. Took him two, Emmy's.
Speaker 1: Right, two more than I got. But it was awesome.
Speaker 1: So thank you to Monumental for for inviting me. Sorry

Speaker 3: than I did.
