Welcome to this week's episode or this little hello and hey, what's going on?
20
00:01:34,943 --> 00:01:38,483
A little, I don't know what you want to call this, but we're just stopping to
21
00:01:38,483 --> 00:01:41,803
say hi because and by we, that's right.

23
00:01:47,503 --> 00:01:50,743
I'm a guest host on my own podcast now.
24
00:01:52,863 --> 00:01:55,843
I'm featured as a guest on my show.
25
00:01:59,403 --> 00:02:03,323
It's good to be here. yep could there be in the seat yeah
26
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:06,043
you know the joke we kept making was that you
27
00:02:06,043 --> 00:02:09,963
had the big shoes to fill literally well literally
28
00:02:09,963 --> 00:02:12,923
and figuratively yes that's true yeah same
29
00:02:12,923 --> 00:02:18,503
but they can hear all they can hear all those episodes without you right now
30
00:02:18,503 --> 00:02:22,743
we're here to talk about one specific thing and mike today right now when i
31
00:02:22,743 --> 00:02:28,023
release this it is our fourth anniversary that's right uncle dad Bad Talks has
32
00:02:28,023 --> 00:02:30,943
been running for four years. Wow.
33
00:02:32,463 --> 00:02:38,203
Can't even believe it. So much excitement. I mean, four years, just like that.
34
00:02:38,583 --> 00:02:41,963
But you know, to be fair, a few of those years were COVID years,
35
00:02:42,083 --> 00:02:46,783
which I feel like everybody can relate to, goes into a weird vortex of time
36
00:02:46,783 --> 00:02:52,143
that it's like a, it's like a, it's like a alternate universe that's,
37
00:02:52,143 --> 00:02:54,243
that existed in this universe.
38
00:02:54,323 --> 00:02:57,223
But the time was just, it was almost like the blip.
39
00:02:57,503 --> 00:02:59,943
Right. The Marvel. Yeah.
40
00:03:00,583 --> 00:03:05,743
COVID blip. Like COVID blip. I like that. I like that. I hope that's not a trademark, but I like it.
41
00:03:06,783 --> 00:03:09,563
Yeah. So, you know, I guess for those who have not heard the story,
42
00:03:09,643 --> 00:03:12,523
I'll just give a quick little background. We started the show,
43
00:03:12,523 --> 00:03:14,243
as Mike said, during the COVID timeframe.
44
00:03:14,823 --> 00:03:18,363
And when this show kind of kicked off, not to get too many details,
45
00:03:18,403 --> 00:03:21,783
but it was originally like a comic books podcast where we just kind of talked
46
00:03:21,783 --> 00:03:24,083
about comics and their relation to things and whatnot.
47
00:03:24,939 --> 00:03:29,939
But slowly I kind of realized, all right, well, this is great. This is fine.
48
00:03:30,099 --> 00:03:33,339
But I think we want the conversation aspect of things more.
49
00:03:33,679 --> 00:03:37,039
Would you agree with that? And then we kind of started seeing the change of interviewing people.
50
00:03:37,679 --> 00:03:41,379
Yeah. You know, I think, you know, you can only talk about comics so much, right?
51
00:03:42,679 --> 00:03:47,419
I mean, I do that. Yeah, no, I know you're absolutely right.
52
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:51,679
But, you know, we, we just kind of followed the, the, the thread of what was happening,
53
00:03:51,779 --> 00:03:54,659
you know, for us and and within the
54
00:03:54,659 --> 00:03:57,279
comic book world we know a lot of
55
00:03:57,279 --> 00:04:00,399
people who are associated with comics but also
56
00:04:00,399 --> 00:04:03,599
associated you know in that industry through
57
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:07,979
other industries like you know music and movies and you know you know someone
58
00:04:07,979 --> 00:04:13,019
who knows someone and and why just keep it restrained to to just comics is is
59
00:04:13,019 --> 00:04:17,659
kind of how i saw it yeah you know and i think some of our most oddball interviews
60
00:04:17,659 --> 00:04:22,099
for those who have not you know heard them i mean right away the one i always go to is
61
00:04:22,379 --> 00:04:26,239
the church of satan right i think that kind of really showed that you and i
62
00:04:26,239 --> 00:04:32,799
were not going to do the norm right yes yes if you haven't listened for those
63
00:04:32,799 --> 00:04:37,239
for those of you who are new listeners or continuing listeners who haven't listened
64
00:04:37,239 --> 00:04:39,519
to that podcast it's an interesting one so please,
65
00:04:40,099 --> 00:04:44,499
go check it yeah seriously what is one of your favorite oddball ones the ones
66
00:04:44,499 --> 00:04:48,799
that aren't necessarily this like the you know like the straight like the the
67
00:04:48,799 --> 00:04:52,319
comics or the whatever Like something a little different than what you normally talk about.
68
00:04:53,134 --> 00:04:57,494
Oddball. Well, I mean, one of the ones that stands out was the,
69
00:04:57,554 --> 00:05:01,754
I don't know if it was one of my favorites, but it was one that I remember being
70
00:05:01,754 --> 00:05:07,634
odd was the, was it Portals or the Quantum Realities?
71
00:05:08,674 --> 00:05:13,254
Oh my goodness, I even forgot about that one. Since I mentioned that kind of
72
00:05:13,254 --> 00:05:17,074
alternate reality COVID years, I don't know, that kind of popped into my head.
73
00:05:17,774 --> 00:05:21,354
What you're referring to, for those who don't know, is that we had a quantum
74
00:05:21,354 --> 00:05:25,514
healer on the show, correct? Quantum healer. That's right. Yes.
75
00:05:26,974 --> 00:05:30,674
And she had you do the whole thing, right? Like, remember correctly?
76
00:05:31,634 --> 00:05:35,654
Yeah. We sat in a studio and I, together, it was, it was when we actually did
77
00:05:35,654 --> 00:05:39,434
sitting down together and, and yeah, she attempted to heal me.
78
00:05:40,794 --> 00:05:42,294
I guess it didn't work.
79
00:05:43,674 --> 00:05:46,954
Dude, I actually really forgot about that. So you just said that.
80
00:05:47,034 --> 00:05:49,454
Wow. It was in the quantum realm.
81
00:05:50,074 --> 00:05:53,554
Oh man. And if I remember correctly, didn't that conversation,
82
00:05:53,814 --> 00:05:58,034
she was stating that she believed that the Marvel multiverse is actually real.
83
00:05:58,174 --> 00:06:02,014
You know, I don't remember that, but I'm, that sounds like it could be something
84
00:06:02,014 --> 00:06:03,894
that was said during that conversation.
85
00:06:04,234 --> 00:06:06,714
Yeah. And that's why you got to go listen to it.
86
00:06:07,734 --> 00:06:12,094
See? There you go. Mike, you know, throughout these four years,
87
00:06:12,174 --> 00:06:15,534
you know, we have had a lot of great episodes, right?
88
00:06:15,614 --> 00:06:18,014
But I always like to talk about, you know, the real stuff too.
89
00:06:18,114 --> 00:06:22,694
And what would you say was one of our episodes that we just didn't nail it as
90
00:06:22,694 --> 00:06:23,894
strongly as we should have?
91
00:06:24,354 --> 00:06:27,314
Oh man, I really should have looked through our list.
92
00:06:29,014 --> 00:06:32,934
Yeah, we're doing this very by the way, everybody, you know,
93
00:06:32,974 --> 00:06:37,094
I think there are some that I don't even really know if it's our fault so much
94
00:06:37,094 --> 00:06:40,914
as sometimes we just, the guest isn't connecting,
95
00:06:41,014 --> 00:06:47,034
you know, with us, you know, or like it's one of the ones where we're doing a real rush kind of,
96
00:06:47,841 --> 00:06:50,541
rush interview um with some of like the
97
00:06:50,541 --> 00:06:53,661
filmmakers that we've done stuff with yeah you know
98
00:06:53,661 --> 00:06:56,761
when you try you try to read the room like you do in any conversation
99
00:06:56,761 --> 00:06:59,841
and you know i don't know what was the
100
00:06:59,841 --> 00:07:05,081
one scary movie that that was like the first person found footage scary movie
101
00:07:05,081 --> 00:07:17,301
that oh the the not the outsiders the the out waters right something like that
102
00:07:17,301 --> 00:07:19,521
yeah The guy's name was Robbie, right?
103
00:07:20,061 --> 00:07:25,301
Is that what we're talking about? Yeah. Where it was like a really weird desert movie, right? Yeah.
104
00:07:25,561 --> 00:07:30,581
Yeah, the posters looked really... The poster and promo materials made it look really cool to me.
105
00:07:30,641 --> 00:07:34,581
And I know, like you've said, it's got a really great following. People love it.
106
00:07:36,041 --> 00:07:39,861
I couldn't really sit through it, but that's just me. But yeah, I don't know.
107
00:07:39,881 --> 00:07:45,261
I felt like that conversation, that interview, maybe we didn't really hit the head.
108
00:07:45,261 --> 00:07:49,241
You know i would agree with that one i also would think and i'm surprised you
109
00:07:49,241 --> 00:07:53,941
didn't go with this one first it was the when we talked to the one i think he
110
00:07:53,941 --> 00:07:55,741
was the inker or he was the,
111
00:07:57,061 --> 00:08:01,081
colorist for wolverine like he helped create the original or the second version
112
00:08:01,081 --> 00:08:02,241
of wolverine if i remember correctly
113
00:08:02,241 --> 00:08:06,161
right yeah i can't yeah that was at wizard world new orleans and uh,
114
00:08:06,761 --> 00:08:12,541
funny enough i forget where i saw saw something with him online and it made
115
00:08:12,541 --> 00:08:18,441
me think of that moment and he just he he could have just said no like he didn't have to talk to us.
116
00:08:20,121 --> 00:08:23,201
We're just two guys standing there like hey would you like to talk to us,
117
00:08:23,904 --> 00:08:28,664
You didn't want to do it. You just don't do it. Yeah. Plenty of people say no to us.
118
00:08:29,124 --> 00:08:31,724
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Plenty of people say no to us too, for sure.
119
00:08:31,924 --> 00:08:32,944
And we'll get to that in a second.
120
00:08:33,004 --> 00:08:36,504
But on that particular moment, I remember it because he was like, yeah, sure, we'll do it.
121
00:08:36,564 --> 00:08:39,624
And then we were talking about it and you know, you're just stating what you're
122
00:08:39,624 --> 00:08:41,744
reading also off his, off his little banner.
123
00:08:42,144 --> 00:08:45,884
And even he corrects you, but it's like, dude, that literally is what it's listed
124
00:08:45,884 --> 00:08:49,624
that you have, that you've done. Right. Remember that? Yeah.
125
00:08:50,424 --> 00:08:53,544
Yeah. It was one of those where I just felt like, man, I need to just,
126
00:08:53,544 --> 00:08:56,704
i could just end this right now and it it
127
00:08:56,704 --> 00:08:59,644
would be fine and then we could just talk about how horrible he was
128
00:08:59,644 --> 00:09:02,604
but it didn't it
129
00:09:02,604 --> 00:09:05,264
didn't go the right way but you know talking about what you were
130
00:09:05,264 --> 00:09:07,904
saying about how plenty of people have said no to
131
00:09:07,904 --> 00:09:11,204
us i mean there's been we go to a lot of conventions that people know and we
132
00:09:11,204 --> 00:09:14,324
get to work with some great press reps and there's been plenty of times where
133
00:09:14,324 --> 00:09:17,444
things have been either in the pipeline or we're there right there in the moment
134
00:09:17,444 --> 00:09:22,364
and we ask and they just don't do it i think one of the big ones that i wish
135
00:09:22,364 --> 00:09:26,624
we could have gotten and which I know just was just a poor planning on somebody's part.
136
00:09:26,684 --> 00:09:29,664
I'm not going to say who, but I think I told you before, Mike,
137
00:09:29,744 --> 00:09:31,624
we had a chance to have Henry Winkler on.
138
00:09:32,464 --> 00:09:35,584
Yes, yes. With a misunderstanding, apparently, because he doesn't do podcasts,
139
00:09:35,804 --> 00:09:39,284
right? He still did a really cool thing for us. He gave us an autograph, and that was great.
140
00:09:39,724 --> 00:09:43,524
But, you know, stuff like that can kind of be a little frustrating,
141
00:09:43,564 --> 00:09:46,764
and it happens more often than I think listeners realize. I don't know if you
142
00:09:46,764 --> 00:09:47,764
want to give some insight into that.
143
00:09:49,044 --> 00:09:52,444
Yeah, kind of, you know, behind the curtain there. sure
144
00:09:52,444 --> 00:09:55,244
you you you if you're a listener to any
145
00:09:55,244 --> 00:09:58,544
podcast out there you see what they put out you listen
146
00:09:58,544 --> 00:10:01,424
but yeah you don't always know like oh we were this close
147
00:10:01,424 --> 00:10:06,244
to interviewing i don't know throwing a name if you can think of one we were
148
00:10:06,244 --> 00:10:10,104
this close to henry winkler for instance and the circus was when that almost
149
00:10:10,104 --> 00:10:15,104
happened yeah that was a different situation but yeah there's been a few and
150
00:10:15,104 --> 00:10:20,144
and so you just kind of roll with it and you know something else Philando, right?
151
00:10:20,284 --> 00:10:24,824
Like you just keep, keep, keep at it. And we've got some good guests that, you know,
152
00:10:25,624 --> 00:10:30,224
Maybe they're not who we wanted originally, but I feel like we make,
153
00:10:30,244 --> 00:10:32,324
we do a good job and make it work. That's what we get.
154
00:10:32,684 --> 00:10:36,804
Dude, for sure. I mean, most recently we, I think one of those was,
155
00:10:36,884 --> 00:10:39,604
was your buddy, Eddie, Eddie Furlong.
156
00:10:40,844 --> 00:10:45,104
Yeah. My buddy, Eddie. Yeah. We talk all the time, you know?
157
00:10:46,224 --> 00:10:50,344
Yep. Yeah. You know, cause I remember that moment too. I was like,
158
00:10:50,344 --> 00:10:52,984
we'll just ask cause I doubt he's going to do it. Right. Cause he didn't look
159
00:10:52,984 --> 00:10:53,864
like he would do interviews.
160
00:10:54,024 --> 00:10:56,484
Right. I'm his sponsor now, actually.
161
00:10:57,544 --> 00:10:58,704
Oh, yeah? For what?
162
00:11:01,084 --> 00:11:06,664
Whoops. Whoops. Joking is a joke. Yes, we all know it's a joke, yes.
163
00:11:08,884 --> 00:11:13,004
But he was fine. Like, I mean, he, you know, sometimes, though,
164
00:11:13,004 --> 00:11:16,544
you just got to know, like, these people have heard, especially a guy like Eddie Furlow.
165
00:11:16,644 --> 00:11:18,684
And, you know, he's probably been interviewed a million times.
166
00:11:18,784 --> 00:11:20,684
A million times. And they ask the same questions.
167
00:11:20,684 --> 00:11:26,724
And so you kind of have to try to think about how do we ask a question that's
168
00:11:26,724 --> 00:11:30,384
a little different or maybe something a little more interesting to talk about
169
00:11:30,384 --> 00:11:34,584
than just what was it like working with Arnold Schwarzenegger when you were just a kid?
170
00:11:34,724 --> 00:11:37,904
Like, hmm, come on, what do you think it would be like? I mean,
171
00:11:37,904 --> 00:11:40,264
I'm sure you could say it'd be pretty, pretty cool.
172
00:11:41,084 --> 00:11:45,804
You know, like, you know, so, you know, you just dig a little deeper each time
173
00:11:45,804 --> 00:11:48,224
you have an opportunity to do that.
174
00:11:48,224 --> 00:11:51,904
Yeah i think sometimes though it's i don't know if you agree with this but sometimes,
175
00:11:52,404 --> 00:11:56,064
it almost feels like the guests those bigger ones like that or remote like legacy
176
00:11:56,064 --> 00:12:01,424
ones kind of like the simple questions you ever notice that yeah oh yeah because
177
00:12:01,424 --> 00:12:03,884
it gives them a chance to talk about something other than the question they've
178
00:12:03,884 --> 00:12:05,984
been asked a million times yeah exactly,
179
00:12:06,564 --> 00:12:13,524
like what was it like working on this film or you know yeah same old same old can questions
180
00:12:13,844 --> 00:12:19,264
you know and as we've done this show uh there's been some things that have kind
181
00:12:19,264 --> 00:12:23,944
of popped up that have been kind of odd oddball things like in the sense of uh what we do here so,
182
00:12:24,484 --> 00:12:27,204
there's been a few episodes a handful of episodes where me and mike have actually
183
00:12:27,204 --> 00:12:31,124
done game shows where i've done like trivia games and stuff we haven't done
184
00:12:31,124 --> 00:12:34,824
that in a while but i want to bring that back this year maybe one or two episodes
185
00:12:34,824 --> 00:12:40,764
what do you think mike yeah i'm always game haha yeah and the first one we kicked
186
00:12:40,764 --> 00:12:43,124
it off with for those who haven't heard i have to bring this up because he's
187
00:12:43,124 --> 00:12:46,524
also a part of the Uncle Dad podcasting family, is Mr.
188
00:12:46,824 --> 00:12:50,324
Retro Gaming Nomad. He does a show with me on this channel called Game Papas.
189
00:12:50,764 --> 00:12:56,784
And you went head to head, sir, with him in the past. Who knows Bruce better? Bruce Willis.
190
00:12:57,344 --> 00:12:59,464
Right. Yeah. I think I won.
191
00:13:00,664 --> 00:13:02,104
You did, but somebody had to help you.
192
00:13:03,524 --> 00:13:06,324
We all need a little help. Yeah, that was fun.
193
00:13:06,684 --> 00:13:10,764
I would say, yeah, let's bring back some trivia and let's get some fun guests
194
00:13:10,764 --> 00:13:11,684
on there and do it with them.
195
00:13:12,337 --> 00:13:15,077
Yeah i think i think we should i think stuff like that you know and
196
00:13:15,077 --> 00:13:17,977
i think that's what makes our podcast so unique for those who listen is that
197
00:13:17,977 --> 00:13:20,697
we try to do all weird types of things you know what i mean like in the best
198
00:13:20,697 --> 00:13:23,977
way i mean you know as we do interviews sure but sometimes
199
00:13:23,977 --> 00:13:26,877
we'll do like weird silly questions or sometimes we'll
200
00:13:26,877 --> 00:13:29,877
do like even like we've done a live event last year
201
00:13:29,877 --> 00:13:32,677
for st patrick's day i don't remember this we had
202
00:13:32,677 --> 00:13:35,617
skinner here and we had audience members literally just playing
203
00:13:35,617 --> 00:13:39,137
beer pong with this legendary artist skinner yeah
204
00:13:39,137 --> 00:13:41,917
yeah some of them came from far away and we're
205
00:13:41,917 --> 00:13:44,717
really really excited to do to have
206
00:13:44,717 --> 00:13:47,617
that opportunity so you know we hope some people's dream
207
00:13:47,617 --> 00:13:50,937
comes true on this show too exactly your dream
208
00:13:50,937 --> 00:13:53,957
can come true when you listen to our show just keep
209
00:13:53,957 --> 00:13:58,337
listening if it hasn't yet maybe it will exactly mike
210
00:13:58,337 --> 00:14:01,337
what are some fond memories uh before we wrap up here that
211
00:14:01,337 --> 00:14:04,317
you have of the show from way back and from
212
00:14:04,317 --> 00:14:11,597
now oh man fond memories man my memory is wasn't what it used to be i mean you
213
00:14:11,597 --> 00:14:14,797
know we we were able to i was just thinking about this because i was actually
214
00:14:14,797 --> 00:14:20,417
reaching out to someone today i won't name their name yet because if they say
215
00:14:20,417 --> 00:14:23,877
no you know it'll be one that no the audience never knows,
216
00:14:24,397 --> 00:14:28,977
but uh it's someone who is a hip-hop artist and i really enjoyed talking to
217
00:14:28,977 --> 00:14:33,617
sadat x like that i it I was reminded of that interview, and I just thought
218
00:14:33,617 --> 00:14:37,817
it was really cool just because, you know, I'd listened to that guy so much when I was younger.
219
00:14:38,997 --> 00:14:44,117
And, you know, we just connected with him. And having the conversation with
220
00:14:44,117 --> 00:14:49,157
him, you know, it's that voice I heard 100 times when I was a kid or a teenager and an adult.
221
00:14:49,377 --> 00:14:53,577
And I was talking to him. So that one was really cool from a while back. Yeah.
222
00:14:54,873 --> 00:14:57,873
You know, of course, I love listening and talking to John from System of a Down.
223
00:14:58,033 --> 00:15:02,833
Of course. He's a friend, you know, and this was in a way different time when
224
00:15:02,833 --> 00:15:07,673
he was speaking out very politically and making headlines every week for his,
225
00:15:07,733 --> 00:15:11,713
you know, outlandish choice of words or things.
226
00:15:12,353 --> 00:15:16,313
And so some of that, you know, we caught some traction from that way back then.
227
00:15:16,413 --> 00:15:19,873
I think it'd be cool to try to get him on the show again if it's possible.
228
00:15:20,233 --> 00:15:26,053
I think we should, yeah. A more recent one, you know, hmm, you know.
229
00:15:27,393 --> 00:15:30,833
Too many good moments, right? So many, yeah.
230
00:15:31,333 --> 00:15:36,053
I mean, you know what, I really enjoyed the month of February and how we had
231
00:15:36,053 --> 00:15:41,753
several guys from Rebirth on different weeks of the show.
232
00:15:42,033 --> 00:15:46,833
You know, if you're a listener of the show, you know I'm from New Orleans originally
233
00:15:46,833 --> 00:15:53,393
Angelina, huge jazz brass band fan and Rebirth brass band is probably my favorite,
234
00:15:53,413 --> 00:15:54,553
is my favorite brass band.
235
00:15:54,713 --> 00:15:58,833
And we had three of the guys that are in that band on different times of the
236
00:15:58,833 --> 00:16:02,273
show and some really great interviews there, I felt so.
237
00:16:02,453 --> 00:16:05,693
Yeah, those are good, good choices, man. Good choices.
238
00:16:06,153 --> 00:16:11,113
Thank you. I guess so. I'll give you mine, right? Yeah, look in the mirror and
239
00:16:11,113 --> 00:16:12,353
ask yourself that same question.
240
00:16:13,453 --> 00:16:18,913
You know we go early on honestly like we go early on.
241
00:16:20,665 --> 00:16:23,505
I got to be honest, and this is like just a wholesome moment,
242
00:16:23,545 --> 00:16:29,445
like a non-celebrity, just wholesome time, was actually when me, you,
243
00:16:29,745 --> 00:16:35,605
and Age, we used to do the show at the shop in Berkeley, right?
244
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:36,505
That was what shop was that?
245
00:16:36,685 --> 00:16:39,185
Oh, you're talking about the Bar Bridge store in Oakland.
246
00:16:39,545 --> 00:16:43,605
Oakland, sorry. In Oakland. And it was just me, you, and him,
247
00:16:43,625 --> 00:16:47,765
and we were talking about his book at the time that we were going to bring out.
248
00:16:47,825 --> 00:16:49,145
So he's super bad. Super bad.
249
00:16:50,265 --> 00:16:56,765
Superhead. And what I just really enjoyed it was that it was so great to see
250
00:16:56,765 --> 00:17:00,405
you interact with him because I had never really seen you interact with him
251
00:17:00,405 --> 00:17:02,645
because I knew that, you know, for those who don't know,
252
00:17:02,745 --> 00:17:05,425
for those who don't know,
253
00:17:05,545 --> 00:17:10,445
I look to Mike as not only my best friend and co-host, but also my mentor.
254
00:17:10,765 --> 00:17:15,825
And so in many ways, this guest we had on Age was the same for Mike.
255
00:17:15,825 --> 00:17:19,305
And so it was just very very just
256
00:17:19,305 --> 00:17:22,505
heartwarming to have you know your your people in
257
00:17:22,505 --> 00:17:25,305
one room on this show that we're doing together that we have no idea
258
00:17:25,305 --> 00:17:28,345
where it's going do you know i'm saying yeah i thought
259
00:17:28,345 --> 00:17:31,145
that was very sweet it's a sweet moment
260
00:17:31,145 --> 00:17:34,405
yeah you know it's like he mentored me i mentored
261
00:17:34,405 --> 00:17:37,345
you you know we're all about the same distance in age
262
00:17:37,345 --> 00:17:40,065
apart you know we all have about
263
00:17:40,065 --> 00:17:42,865
10 years on each other yeah and uh
264
00:17:42,865 --> 00:17:45,705
well yeah it's fun to fun to see the you
265
00:17:45,705 --> 00:17:48,725
know how we all interact with each other and the
266
00:17:48,725 --> 00:17:53,305
interpersonal relationships that that we've been able to have and you know he's
267
00:17:53,305 --> 00:17:57,465
like a big brother to me so we also have that banter of course yeah and it's
268
00:17:57,465 --> 00:18:00,965
great and i you know there's some great stories in that episode too so if you
269
00:18:00,965 --> 00:18:04,465

270
00:18:04,465 --> 00:18:06,645

who plays Elias from Clerks 2 and 3.
281
00:18:48,813 --> 00:18:52,993
And I didn't realize how much he caps on me the entire episode. Is he? Yeah.
282
00:18:53,933 --> 00:18:58,493
We've got a lot of good material down there from those New Orleans shows, for sure.
283
00:18:58,893 --> 00:19:02,433
The shows have been great, man. And then most recently, I have to tell you,
284
00:19:02,453 --> 00:19:07,973
man, my favorite of this season, I guess you would call it, was doing our very
285
00:19:07,973 --> 00:19:12,053
first version of On Location with you, Asheville.
286
00:19:12,473 --> 00:19:16,693
Mm-hmm yeah yeah well let's do more of that too that was a lot of fun.
287
00:19:17,833 --> 00:19:21,053
Jeff allen was great and you know i just
288
00:19:21,053 --> 00:19:25,953
i don't know why it eluded me but also in this this last bit of time you know
289
00:19:25,953 --> 00:19:30,493
we talked to dave mandel or david mandel you know from seinfeld and curb and
290
00:19:30,493 --> 00:19:37,213
veep and and and road trip or euro trip oops and uh that was another such a
291
00:19:37,213 --> 00:19:40,433
cool interview to talk Talk about all those, all those things on,
292
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:44,893
you know, and I just watch the shows differently now after having the conversation with him.
293
00:19:45,153 --> 00:19:48,153
So if you're a fan of any of those shows and you don't know that we talked to
294
00:19:48,153 --> 00:19:53,233
one of the writer directors, producers of those shows, go back and listen to
295
00:19:53,233 --> 00:19:54,713
that episode. It's a great one.
296
00:19:55,033 --> 00:19:58,693
It's absolutely, that's a great one. Yeah. It's one of my, that's probably one
297
00:19:58,693 --> 00:20:00,933
of my top 10 too. Like that's such a well done episode.
298
00:20:01,553 --> 00:20:04,893
You know, throughout this time, it has just been a whirlwind of,
299
00:20:04,893 --> 00:20:09,013
of things, lots of ups, lots of downs, all over the things, you know what I mean?
300
00:20:09,073 --> 00:20:12,033
From not just even on a show standpoint, but personal lives and whatnot.
301
00:20:12,433 --> 00:20:15,733
And it has just been such a great journey to do this with you.
302
00:20:16,293 --> 00:20:19,933
And I know we've got some big surprises down the line that we want to try to work on.
303
00:20:20,373 --> 00:20:22,933
We're trying to work on a Kickstarter campaign, if I'm honest with everybody
304
00:20:22,933 --> 00:20:24,513
here. That's something we do want to work on.
305
00:20:24,893 --> 00:20:27,993
If you're interested in being a part of that, to maybe help us with rewards,

The more help I can get, the better.

00:20:33,793 --> 00:20:36,873
We also want to do more on locations and that all costs money.
309
00:20:37,033 --> 00:20:39,973
So that's stuff that we're thinking about doing.

It's a large listening base and people here are pretty supportive of what we
314
00:20:53,413 --> 00:20:54,933
usually push out there, I would say.
315
00:20:55,593 --> 00:20:59,193
But Mike, you know, to your point about our journey of doing this,
316
00:20:59,293 --> 00:21:05,253
what is something that you hope that we can achieve in the next year?
317
00:21:06,153 --> 00:21:10,133
Well, I think that something like what you were just mentioning with launching
318
00:21:10,133 --> 00:21:12,753
the campaign, you know, to get some,
319
00:21:13,562 --> 00:21:21,382
Just to help this podcast grow so we can do more fun and exciting things and get bigger guests on.
320
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:27,622
And so I think just taking that next step, because I feel like we're pretty good at doing what we do.
321
00:21:27,882 --> 00:21:32,522
Even when I'm not on episodes, when I can't do the scheduling conflicts with
322
00:21:32,522 --> 00:21:34,322
other events I have going on,
323
00:21:34,402 --> 00:21:38,882
and people try to take my seat because I'm away, I won't let that happen.
324
00:21:40,142 --> 00:21:43,062
Yeah just just just having the podcast grow i
325
00:21:43,062 --> 00:21:45,742
think is is huge and and so yeah if you're

344
00:23:01,802 --> 00:23:03,922
man. Four years. Next year is the big five.
345
00:23:04,822 --> 00:23:07,862
Five years next year. I can't believe that if we do it. I know we will.
346
00:23:07,962 --> 00:23:09,782
I know we'll make it, but I just...
347
00:23:10,511 --> 00:23:14,791
It's crazy to think that we're almost there. Five. Well, we must do something
348
00:23:14,791 --> 00:23:19,271
really exciting for five, not just yenter back and forth with each other, right?
349
00:23:19,591 --> 00:23:22,711
You know what I want to do. You know what I want to do. I've talked about this
350
00:23:22,711 --> 00:23:27,551
for years on the show, about doing the Guinness Book of World Records. Oh, yeah.
351
00:23:28,911 --> 00:23:32,731
Well, apparently we're going to need some funding for that because for those
352
00:23:32,731 --> 00:23:35,851
that don't know, getting in the Guinness Book of World Records costs a lot of money.
353
00:23:36,411 --> 00:23:40,251
Yes. It's not just you do a thing and they show up and give you,
354
00:23:40,511 --> 00:23:43,351
an award you have to pay for them to give you the award.
355
00:23:43,951 --> 00:23:48,271
So maybe that's part of the Kickstarter campaign. I don't know.
356
00:23:49,691 --> 00:23:52,051
We'll have to figure it out. We'll have to figure it out indeed.
357
00:23:52,551 --> 00:23:55,311
But Mike, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for being a part of
358
00:23:55,311 --> 00:23:58,691
this for four years and just being my friend for as long as we have been.
359
00:23:58,851 --> 00:24:03,811
I mean, really, you know that already. I've told you this so many times in regular day life.
360
00:24:04,151 --> 00:24:09,471
So just thank you so much for just doing the show continuously and just being
361
00:24:09,471 --> 00:24:12,191
a part of this little fun adventure that we got going on together,
362
00:24:12,331 --> 00:24:15,671
which to me at first, it was kind of like a silly little hobby.
363
00:24:16,191 --> 00:24:18,871
But now I think it's something much more than that. I think it's a community
364
00:24:18,871 --> 00:24:22,391
and I love that we have people who love to listen, people who want to help out.
365
00:24:22,571 --> 00:24:26,371
That's great too, man. Big shout out to the people who just helped out recently.
366
00:24:26,911 --> 00:24:31,851
Shout out to Rick for stepping in from a Sigmund Duocast. Shout out for Pierce
367

Really, we appreciate you guys for helping in. And thank you guys.
369
00:24:37,471 --> 00:24:39,631
Thank you for everybody who's been a part of this, whether you're on the show
370
00:24:39,631 --> 00:24:43,411

371
00:24:43,471 --> 00:24:48,731
Just thank you for being a part of listening, being here and participating.
372
00:24:50,004 --> 00:24:56,744
And I'll just second that and thank you for being a friend and for helping keeping this thing go.
373
00:24:56,824 --> 00:25:00,404
