Good transmitting.
Welcome to Thursday show more in studio. So they listed the best cities with the best odds for an alien siding. Oh, I'm only giving myself sixty seconds for this. I know you guys don't ever talking about aliens.
Uh.
The number one city for alien sidings Phoenix, Arizona. I mean it's a lot of desert, yeah, and like over there is where they have like Area fifty one, but it's probably where they're doing a lots of tests on stuff too. So people think they're seeing ali ufo.
You know, they probably are seeing UFOs.
Right, So but they just go, that's got to be an alien, right, Arizona first New York city of two. Now this is also if something were to come, where would they come. The big cities, the big as a lot of people, Las Vegas, which, by the way, Vegas is not far from Area fifty one. Yeah, but a lot of consumption of you know.
Yeah, that's what you're not seeing things straight.
No, I would think it's the desert, guys. Portland, Oregon, Tucson, Arizona. Four, the five are all desert where there's probably experiments with aircraft happening that people think are aliens. And it's also probably where the real aliens know that, so they're coming there as well. So people think it's probably the experiments you know too.
I was thinking, like Vegas, they have that pyramid with the light that goes straight up.
Maybe the aliens see that lights. But what if that's a communication that we have and we right in front of our eyes. Who and we're sending up signals right in front hiding a plain sight. Uh huh, that's all my give my stuff talking about aliens. Guys. Good, I just saw the story. I could do it forever. But those are the cities we have the best odds to possibly spot an unidentified flying object, although I think they could be coming from the ocean because we don't know what's at the ocean. Bottom of the ocean could be like space. As far as we know, it's not been Anyw'm gonna shut up, play a song. What happened? So?
I was it Stevenson's cross country meet And there's people from all over there, tons of kids, tons of parents, and this one mom comes up and says, hey, a big listener. And I was like, oh, you know, where do you listen? Where are you from? And she's like, oh Fort Campbell and she goes. My first day ever listening to the show was the day that y'all got a call from a listener saying they hate the show. We had gone on air, I think somewhere in Kentucky, and we drove to Kentucky and got ice cream.
Sort no Summer's thatt No, okay, but that's not even your version of the stories.
This is what she told back to me. If you remember what happened, really, she I remember the girl not liking the show, and then we went to Sonic and we got people ice cream.
So what really happened was I don't remember some bits either, And all this stuff is true, like we don't fake bits on the show. Somebody called and they hated our show. We just had come on on their station. She was like, you guys don't talk like you should be on the radio. You don't have good voices, you don't It just all seems off. And I said, if you listen to our show for two weeks, I'll give you a hundred bucks. If you don't like it, I'll pay you. I will drive to you and give you one hundred dollars. If you tell me you don't like the show after listening two weeks, like, just give us a second. We are an acquired taste because we don't sound like other shows. We've also been friends forever. We're not like a bunch of radio people that a company has put together, which allows our dynamic sometimes like we can mess with each other a little more. And if you're new to the show, you're like, while they're picking on Amy or Bobby or we're not. We've just been friends for so long. We know where we can go. And so it was only fifty bucks on a hundred bucks, I remember there was one hundred. I don't know how much it was, but we'll say it with one hundred. Let's go with one hundred. I'm trying to not commit myself always to being exactly right, but so we this is a long time ago. But but if you looked that up, Mike, let me know which money was. So we drive up to summer set a couple hours away. Because she said she still did not like the show after two weeks, because I think you said that if you still don't like it, yeah I don't like it, I'll pay you money, boo. And she goes, okay, cool, and so I hate it. Okay, we got in the car and we drove up there. So not only we give her the money, she showed up. I paid her the money. Mike, how much was it? Fifty bucks? Munch bucks? You can go to sound like a baller. I don't want to sound like a baller. I want to be all honest. So we gave her fifty bucks. She was actually quite nice, but was like, still don't like to show. Although I probably would have said that two for the fifty bucks. Yeah, and then we bought all the listeners that showed up ice cream at Sonic. It was amazing and it's funny what people remember. Yeah, I don't know that's true either.
This one mom or woman that I met, she said that was the first time she ever heard us on the radio, and she's been listening ever since.
She said.
Later she even came down and volunteered. We did thirty apes, which just recently, that was eleven years ago. It came up on my you know.
Not the listener. We paid the money to the listener.
No, the listener I met like. She was like, I was wearing my thirty ape shirt the other day. But it was that show. Taking the money to Kentucky to that listener in the ice cream situation at Sonic. That kind of hooked her in. She's like, who are these people? What are they doing?
It was no sponsor involved either, we weren't even on with Sonic at the time. I think I took my car. Yes, we just drove up and I just paid her the money because she said she still didn't like the show, so I respected it. Yeah, but I'm not doing that anymore because I'd be broke. Yeah, it was a fun memory, because you know, sometimes people paid h and it is what it is, is what it is to this point, that's good. I haven't thought about that a long time. A lot of a sin by, a lot of a sin bar good the question to be, because, well, hello, Bobby Bones, I'm new in the dating world. I'm thirty six years old and dating a guy who's forty two. He's been divorced for almost a year. He has two teen kids who are both very active in sports. My concern is when I asked to go to one of the sporting events to show my support for the kids, he gets noticeably uncomfortable. He tells me, as kids aren't ready for that kind of thing, which I would normally be understanding towards but I've met and hung out with his kids multiple times. Then he says he doesn't want me to upset his ex by bringing me around, and he wants to keep things easy, and the co parenting concept isn't normal for an except this much control over his relationship. It ends up making me feel bad because after games, they'll go with another family for lunch or dinner as a family while I'm left out. Is this normal? I don't know how to bring my feelings up to him without seeming demanding or insecure. Signed New Adult Data Amy this right up your alley.
Well, yeah, because I'm a divorce mom with two kids, and I think that there is no normal at least what I'm learning. Every relationship is so different. But whether his kids are the ones that are not ready or he's not particularly ready for that type of interaction, then I would just be patient and respect that. If you feel secure in your relationship, you should be okay with it. I think anything that involves the kids and the coperinging dynamic, you just have to be patient.
This is something that's not about you, right, and that's what it boils down to. It's not about you, so don't make it about you.
Right, Anything like you feel left out of that is that's one hundred percent. What you're doing is making it about yourself, and it's complicated. So I would just respected and feel secure in your relationship because what that boils down to is some sort of insecurity that you're feeling about your relationship.
It is not about you. They're not leaving you out because it's about you. They are making decisions based on what they feel is best, and it does. It is a part of your life too, but it is not about you, So don't make it about you.
Now.
I do see the main character here, I don't obviously, we don't know the full picture here, but I do think that there is something to be said for if he is avoiding it simply for the other co parent, like if it has nothing to do with the kids and he just doesn't want the drama. I think it's respectful to want to make sure that everybody's comfortable. But at some point that band aid needs to be ripped. And if he's just trying to constantly please the other person too worried about their feelings, then that could be a little unhealthy.
But It also says new adult daters, they couldn't been dating that exactly. Yeah, if you're a new adult dater, there's got to do with kids just to sit out. Yeah, it's not about you. Don't make it about you. That's tough love. We get him, tough love. I feel good about that. Tough love. We're glad you emailed us. But it's not about you. Don't make it about you. That's the anonymous inbox. They can pile of stories.
Elite colleges are shocked that students can't read an entire book.
I saw the story. I think mostly it's they're not sitting down and investing in an entire book because of how long it takes to read a book, more than they can't read.
Well, yeah, we're talking Georgetown, Stanford, Columbia, and yeah, it's just that they're overwhelmed by the idea of having to read an entire book.
But still I get it. People, No, you don't. Oh I don't read right, That's what I'm saying. I'm saying. Kids now, their attention spans have been trained. The culture of the attention span is so much shorter than when even we were kids. So for a kid to read a book. I mean it has to be forced upon them probably or even less of a sliverable. We had people that actually enjoyed reading. I enjoy reading. Sometimes even my attention SPAN's like, oh man, I need to get on TikTok. So I get it. I get why that would be weird to these seventy year old professors. They're not bragging my day. But I do understand kids not wanting to invest. And also you can just like get online and summarize it, watch it forming a YouTube. You shouldn't do that.
Ye, well, that's like our version of when we were kids. We would go to the store and get the Yellow Cliffs Notes.
You never read, you did it. That's how I read book. I read the book. I was the rare person that read the book.
Okay, cliffs for the vest. But yeah, that is what people do on YouTube now they just summarize it. So California has become the first state to ban sell by dates. They're trying to simplify how dates are used on products to cut back on food waste and reduce consumer costs, which I thought was pretty cool. And I was like, Oh, those sneaky little people because sell by date isn't used by.
That's true. I wonder though if they don't sell it, if they hold it and then people get sick or I don't know.
The sell by date is supposed to be for the stores, and they say it gets very confusing, and really all they're going to be able to go off of, at least in the state of California, is best if used by to indicate peak quality.
Okay, so they're still going to use that one. They're still going to have the expires.
On dates, so that one best if used by is just like it's going to be best if you do it here, but you can still use it by this date. And the used buy is food safety And I was like, ah, this is great because I feel like we end up throwing food out that we don't need to, or why you should.
Shop at the gas station like I do. My wife doesn't, but I for a lot of my stuff, I still stop at the gas station and get it, eat it immediately.
But nothing there is meetium that used by date like nothing, it's old dusty, okay, it's so grown.
Else old man's smell is the new thing. So and I have a fourteen year old so I definitely.
See in my house old man's smell.
Well, he's very into old spice, like that's what he wants.
Anytime we go to total spice is an old man's smell?
Is it feel like my dad wore that?
Okay, so got it? Fragrances that existed when our parents were alive? Is now old man smelt brute? Oh yeah, brew was good?
Right? But then this is what's going to make you really feel old because what they're searching for on eBay to get the scent to is a lot of stuff from the nineties, and that would be like what if water.
Cool water was legit? I never I never had a cool water because it wasn't at Walmart. Brute was at Walmart in the green bottle. So I was all about Brute. Way too much brew to do.
You know what Aqua did geo is?
You know, they probably would sound like something Ray would were at some point not good. I don't like the Aqua type stuff Safari, Browser.
Lamel, but this stuff is selling on eBay for a lot, and like.
That had to be before us though, right probably I remember Polo Abercrombie Abercrombie cologne. I'm pretty sure he was yelling brands. No, I'm pretty sure they had cologne.
Oh remember the unisex one C two K what?
Oh is that common classes? I'm gonna tell you other than brute when I never worked, never worked on my life, dang Man's much just likes you A two C. He would do Abercrombie. I'm pretty sure they have a coloone and.
That cidature smell that when you're everywhere in the mall, you can smell their cologne. It's super strong. I think it's called fierce. I think it's Abercrombie Fierce. But remember Michael Jordan cologne. Yeah, that was awesome about the water.
Leather and so, I well, if y'all have any leftover, you can throw it on eBay and some teenager's gonna buy it.
All right, thank you, Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. She's eighty four. That's pretty old. The dog's thirteen. That was pretty old. They've been together for a while. Okay, she's eighty four. She falls, So you're eighty four. I mean, listen, you're forty four and you fall, it sucks. Imagine if you're eighty boar man. So she falls and so she couldn't get up. And so they're in like a little cabin where they're staying. And so the dog goes out and just sits in the middle the road to stop a car. The dog sits in the middle of the road. How do they know what to do? It sits wild. The dog walked to a nearby road sat in the middle of it until she caught the attention of a passing County Sheriff's deputy who was driving through.
My dog would never this.
My dog go to see a squirrel run away bone. Do you think we can Stanley he take a nap? That'd be one of the two. Do you think you can act that out? And see? Tests your dog? See what that they do? I do stuff like that sometimes I fall the times. See what happens and what it stands with their bits? Nothing?
He just.
Maybe my face. Can they tell you're acting?
Yeah?
No, I'm a pretty good actor. I've been like I was band Slam. I was three episodes in Nashville, Like I actually have some like credits. You'll see me.
They look at each other in the like it's just another bit.
The dog just goes and stands in the middle of the road. Amazing crazy, so big shout out to Jeta. The thirteen year old kind of looks like a like a Pat part lab. I don't even know what this dog is, but it doesn't matter. Dog's awesome. That's what it's all. That was telling me something good. So Bobby Bones Show Interviews. In case you didn't know, his name is Joe Gotto. You would know him from Impractical Jokers also The Misery Index. He's got a new stand up special called Messing with People. I met him in Vegas a couple of weeks ago at our Ihear festival. Here he is, Joe Gotto. There we go on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Joe, good to see anybuddy, Good to see you. Joe and I were crammed together like a blind date. We were presenting together at the iHeart Radio Music Festival, and like a blind date, it was dark and the music was playing, and so you know, there's like a I'm never good at small talk, not my thing. Yeah, just like I'm not good at it. I'm just awkward. And Joe's really a warm guy, and like we talked for a little bit and then I was like, I gotta go to the bathroom and I just sat in there and looked at the mirror and I was like, I'm really bad at small talk, so that's kind of my thing. But I felt like we had a kind of a little dynamic there at the end.
I think we definitely we got thrown into it because the teleprompter wouldn't work. Oh true, so the telepromts on the camera wouldn't work. And they were like, hey, yeah, so the teleprompt is not working. Ready three two one, And then we just had to go.
And then we were just like, go, I forgot about that. Yeah, I blocked trauma. It's kind of thing. We did great though, we did great. I'm proud of you. So I have a lot of questions, like just about and I'm talking about your special on a second, but just about like your life and career because to me and practical jokers is and I know you're you've been off for a bit now, but it's like the Shark Tank to me, where if it's on I can watch like four or five episodes again again. And I don't just like Shark Tank also like I don't really pursue Shark Tank, but I love it once I forget how much I like it? What's the prison show too? Locked Up? Locked Up is another one man? It was a big lockedout fanel Yeah, yes, yeah, locked up. So talk to me about kind of the genesis, like how did this show even come together or get picked up? Yeah? Where did im practical jokers come from?
It was just, Uh, we had been a comedy troupe for a long time. We live for like an eighteen year overnight success. We had tried a bunch of TV shows that it failed and went and we started our comedy troupe in nineteen ninety nine.
Me and the guys went to high school together.
We know each other over thirty years at this point, or guys on New York Guys and Yeah, we just finally were like, you know, let's try to put a show where it's just about like us.
But what we do is how we make each other laugh and let everybody come along.
And we came up with the formula of like an inverted kind of prank show because it wasn't really it was really just messing with your friends.
There was nobody feeling.
Bad or like your traditional pranks where you weren't like got yet, like you're just messing with your friends and that's uh. It started with one episode and I was on it for a decade nine and a half season. Wow, yeah, and yeah they're still going so it's it's crazy.
So back in the day, there would be like prank shows, like hidden camera shows and yeah, you're right, there's a fine line, yeah, between doing something and everybody feeling good and doing something and people pointing their finger.
Yeah, if you point the fingers.
But like, we would do stuff and if it felt if people were getting mad, we would like stop.
We would like, this is wrong, how can we turn it?
And we would stop filming, get gather up, tweak it, and go back out and then we would get the gold. Because it was always about laughing at your friends or with your friends.
Who gave you, guys an opportunity first where you're like, I can't believe this is happening.
It was True TV. We a True TV and MTV got in a biding more. MTV wanted to recast us and make it a strip show, so it would air every day, five days a week with a rotating cast, and then True TV was like, you know what, these middle aged fat men could be our poster child and we ended up being True TV's like guys. They were like, you know what, we'll give you the show. So we started. But True TV wasn't didn't have any comedy. It was we aired between two basic cable reality tow truck shows. It was Lizard Lick Towing US and then South Beach tow And it was like the comedy was jammed in the middle and it just took off air, but it took to it. And then True like inverted and was like, oh, we're gonna make it a comedy channel. And then they started doing comedy when we were in season like three, two three like that, and they started like got rid of all the reality tow truck stuff and started becoming like trying to do a comedy network.
When did you feel like you were actually starting to be known and then be famous. Yes, uh, you'd get it a lot.
Like the whole first season we filmed and it wasn't on TV and we were filming season two. It didn't even air yet, almost like it was only a couple of episodes. And it being on True TV helped because there was such a you know, smaller network, so a lot of people didn't even know you, so that was kind of bad and good because then when you're like you're on a practical jokers like.
What is that?
It's not like you're a kid the camera and they're like, yo, we got you, you know. So it was like a weird, a weird thing. But I think the first time was we had gone to a wrestling event. So Q, one of the guys on the show, was a big wrestling fan. We got invited to go to this big wrestling event in Westbury, Long Island. There's this uh place in the round, so there's no walls, you know, the things in the middle into all circles. And we started sitting there and we, you know, we're doing our thing, having fun, laughing, getting loud, and people started like looking around and turning. You know that thing where you see a couple of heads because we were in the back, you just see a couple of heads turn and turn and turning. And in the live wrestling events, there is the moments where like they switch between matches, right and it just stops down and it turned around.
The one goes like, hey, can I get a picture?
And then the whole place turned and like a zombie apocalypse, the whole room came to us, and we were like up against the wall and it was like thousands of people being like Will and I.
Was like and I was like, we gotta get out of here.
This is it was just awesome. I drove. I was like, we gotta get out.
I just started I was like at my bit like on the show, as I yelled Larry and like, you know, get through crowd. So I just started doing that. Everybody thought it was a bit and I was like, guys, just stick with me. I'm like Larry and everybody's like laughing. And then we just literally ran to our car. People were chasing us to our car. It was insane and I was like, oh wow, this is really I guess we're onto something. So that moment was one of the finding ones for us. We're like, yeah, this is this is something.
Did you have to change how you did the show after that moment just in case that would happened again.
No.
The good thing about it was, you know, we did it in New York, which was an ally because is you know, if helf the city doesn't know you, it's formula people to mess with, right, So we were just like hanging out in New York and doing a lot of it, but we had to make some adjustments where we couldn't really go out.
By the end, we couldn't go out in pairs as much.
We'd love going out in pairs and trying to mess it up, but then people be like, I could kind of look like Joe, but then somebody can't kind of look like the other guy. You know, that would give us away. So we started we had to stop doing that. And then when we started doing like the focus group stuff, we would like have to do tricks to get people. So like, if it was somebody else's turn, I would play the reception is checking them in, just like not even for camera, just to see if somebody recognized me. So they didn't recognize me, and it was somebody's turn, and they're like, okay, we're good. They don't know the show it a strategize, strategize some stuff. The hardest part was when we were doing something in the park and you're like talking to somebody you finally got them in, and somebody comes flying over.
It's like, oh my god, joke, can I get a selfie? And you're like oh, and then the person's like who are you.
I'm like, oh, I'm their pharmacist like you just like, oh, really, well they did, don't worry about it.
So what about getting people to sign the waivers? Do you ever have difficulty with that?
Not really, because most of the time people just thought you were crazy.
You know, we weren't like getting people right, so weren't get in the mid They was like, oh, I didn't even know I was on the show?
What is this? This stupid kind of thing, you know.
But there were points where some things was so good that you just kept it with a blur anyway. But a lot of times people just got away because we went so fast. You know, we're in the park Manhattan, messing going around, but there's so many people coming through. Sometimes our production people would lose who it was, so they did get blurred, not because they were mad whos, just we'd miss them, you know.
But it was such a good bit that still worked with the blur, we would keep it in. So what kind of kid were you? Oh nerdy?
Such a geek?
In what way? Like college books are reading?
I used to make mad.
I used to make tests for my father, Like he would come home from his ten hour workday was selling life insurance to the door and I'd be like pop quiz Dad, like, I was like super geek.
Like I didn't really have many friends growing up either.
I had you know those stupid inspirational posters that was like an oak tree and it was sad like strength, you know, build your foundation, like one of those. I had this one in my room my dad got me because I had no friends, and it was fighter jets, like three of them up and it said attitude winners surround themselves with winners. And I remember my dad telling me. He was like, it was like eighth grade. It was almost before I went to school. It was into like you know, creative writing. I was good at math, you know, I was pretty smart, and he was like, h don't worry, I just don't have any winners yet.
And I was just and I just always stuck with me.
And then in high school freshman year, I met the boys and you know, came friends with them and had the whole journey. So it's interesting, but I was definitely like a little geek, nerdy, little brother, youngest of fifteen cousins, so like one of those. And then you know, so I was like the baby boy, Grandma's favorite.
That whole thing, big Italian family.
So any of my friends at Italian from the northeast person of New York are much like I'm from the south, and we're close with our cousins. It's a very tight knit which the cousins grew. So when you say fifteen cousins, I'm assuming you all lived near each other.
We lived in different parts, but we spent a lot of time together. We'd vacation all the Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. Everybody be there for a couple of days, that whole thing. So we would do that. I have one cousin, Mike, who's one year older than me. That's more of a brother than a cousin.
You know.
We've been through a bunch together. So yeah, but it was very tight knit for sure.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
An architect? Yeah, I loved legos. I thought that would translate. It didn't.
I ended up get an accounting degree. I have an accounting degree, which makes no sense. I can't even bounce my own checkbook, you know. So I have an accounting degree and I didn't really I didn't really use that much at all.
So you meet the boys and like high school, eighth or ninth grade whatever that is. And did you guys just do bits for each other at first?
Yeah, I was. I was still very shy in high school.
I didn't come really out of my shell to make people left till junior year or high school. I used to have lunch with Sal and you know, the guys all time. And I used to make Sal laugh all the time at lunch. And they had joined the improv group at school and they were like, you gotta come, You're so funny, and I'm like no. I was like, you know, I can make my three friends laugh, but it was like eighty people everybody watching you.
I'm like, no, no, no.
And then I went to it and I really enjoyed the improv thing. So we all started doing improv together in high school. My junior year of high school. So we'd been doing comedy a long time together.
So when did you decide though you were going to focus on that's how you were going to try to make your living? Was being creative?
Twenty eleven? So I was selling I worked at a baby store. I was selling high end baby gear and furniture. I was a salesman and we got I took my two week vacation to film the pilot because.
I was always doing it was always the five to nine.
Like it was after work. On the side, I would be editing the videos, doing all the stuff.
But you had a normal job.
Normal job, Yeah, normal job.
I was a training program manager for this company called Giggle, this high end baby store. So I used to do that and then I took my two week vacation to film the pilot. We got picked up and I went to the CEO's office and I said, Hey, I'm gonna have to take a six month hiatus. And she was like, so you're quitting. I'm like, no, it's a hiatus and she's like, you can't. I can't not have someone in your position for six months. He's like, so, don't worry. You're gonna go be a TV star and if it doesn't work out, come back. And I did not think that was going to happen. It's such the chances of what has happened to us is unbelievable. And I was like, nah, I'll be back.
So you make this video, and are you are the videos you're making? Are you sending them out to people? Are you emailing to people? So we did.
We were big on YouTube and MySpace because back in the day, the algorithm was literally a person.
It worked like a newspaper. There was an editor's desk, right, so it was one or.
Two people that were deciding what goes on the homepage, and both of them were fans of us and just liked our comedy, so we always ended up on that.
So we built a big following and then we'd made When we.
Was time to shoot the pilot, we just took our cell phones and we went and shot a It was just basically a sizzle reel, which was like us doing stupid stuff in public.
We went to Times Square a Tyler Perry.
Show movie was premiering, and I had to get up to a packed theater and tell everybody that I far did and excuse myself. So I do this thing, but the whole crowd went like nuts and got behind me, and I just got caught up in the moment. So I exit like I climbed over the seats down the middle, and everybody was cheering for me, and it was such a weird moment. There was like yeah, yeah, and that we left and then James tried to do it and they were like shut up and they like so it was such a different dynamic because he was so not confident about it, and we had just a sizzle tape and in the room, True TV was like, we want this, we want the show, we want to buy it in the room and we were like, oh, okay, that's great. And then MTV made the offer and we went back and forth and decided no, we should be on TV. We actually decided it with a coin flip because it was four of us and we always pretty much agreed, and we said, listen, if it ever comes.
Down it's not the words two and two, we'll flip a coin.
And that decision was made with a coin flip to go with True instead of MTV.
Wowol, what kind of husband are you to your wife as far as jokes? Or are you not as extraverted at home? I'm wildly introverted when I'm not doing this. Yeah, like, how are you away from the microphone?
I'm a way better husband now, I was, Yeah, I don't do uh. She is very introverted. She is very you know, she shines around dog people. We have like a dog rescue, so she loves like dog people. She talked to all day, all night. She's two different people with that otherwise She's like, you very introverted wallflower kind of thing. But we love to laugh. We laugh a lot, and she finds me annoyingly funny. I guess you know, we're not like pranking at home and stuff. My kids though it's funny because my son and daughter. My daughter's nine, my son is seven, and I'm with my son. We're in the supermarket and he just starts laughing, and I'm like, what's up? And he points to a carton is a pineapple in it? And he goes to pineapple? I go what, he goes, I put it there. Now, I'm now I have a decision to make. Do I yell at him and be like, don't mess with other people's stuff? Or do I can like give him a high five? And I say it's great. I said, great job, buddy.
He goes, what do we do?
What do we do?
So we went and we hid. I said, you gotta wait to see them find this.
So we went and hid behind the Mkapa oreos and we're just sitting there waiting for it to come and the ladies a while to get back.
And I just looked down my son and opened a bag of.
Oreos and he was eating the oreos, watching watching it wait until that I shot him a look and he thought he was in trouble for the wrong reason. So he goes, oh, sorry, do you want one? And so he's just sitting there eating oreos for this woman to come back. But it's funny because you see your kids like realize that. And that's what my new tour is about. So my new tour, I'm on tour now. It's called Let's get into it, and I really just break down how people become.
It's exactly this. It's like, how do you become the person you are?
Because I started as such a nerdy, geeky kid, but I ended up as this loud, confident, brave guy and it's like, it's so weird.
How we get there?
Did you continue to do stage work as you were doing the show?
Yeah, so we did.
We went on tour as the Jokers and we did five world tours together.
But would you do and I knew you guys had toured that, but would you do comedy by yourself? Ever?
No, as always on stage. I only started when I left the show. So really, yeah, three years ago.
How did when you got started? Like where did you start? Just do small clubs Appleton, Wisconsin, and without telling people you were coming or no announced.
Yeah, but I did Joe Gaddle's Night of Comedy.
I brought two very good comics with me, Steve Byrne, who you may know, and I Mark Chaguardian, and they were good friends of mine, both really seasoned stand ups. And I was like, all right, look, I'm gonna go up there, and if it's terrible, you guys are gonna come in and see the day with Joe got Is Night of Comedy. I know we'll have a good show. But I went up and I did like thirty five minutes and it was really good.
It felt good.
I came back and Steve, who's a very good friend of mine, was like, you've got this, don't worry. You just got to figure out what you're going to talk about.
So, and you're special messing with people? What do you do? Are you messing with people? No?
It's my story about how I liked, how I entertain and enjoy messing with people, and how I realize it's just so ingrained in me. So I'm a storyteller. That's how my format is more. I tell stories, not just like a you know, joke writer kind of guy. But I have a lot of interesting stories that I have punched up, and a lot of it just shows that I really just do this in my DNA.
Do you feel like after you tell a story and it exists, that you can't tell it anymore?
No, I mean, if you just got to, don't tell it to the person that's already heard.
It, I guess.
But if somebody comes to a show, right.
No show, this new thing is all brand new. It's a brand new hour, so let's get into it. What I'm touring with now is a completely different hour than the Messing with People special Once you I did it for two and a half years and it was time was up, and I was like, you work so hard on something you don't want it just to go away. So I made the special and I was proud of the product. I was like, I want people to see.
This, so why YouTube? Obviously a lot of people wanted your services.
Yeah, not as many as you think. No, it was you know, eight hundred pound gorillas.
They're a good partner and they're really a home for like stand up and I want people to see me in this new light. So it's good to be with them, so you bring in a different crowd and different you know, I like to to like the subscription ones are great, but it's always who's subscribed. Although people, you know, you still get a big audience, but everybody could get the special for free, which is good.
It's super shareable, which is nice. You know.
How's that been doing for you?
Like?
Pretty good? Do you like the YouTube relationship?
Yeah, it's great. I mean the comments are fun, Like.
You go, look at those I do. I group.
I respond to every comment, good or bad.
You're out of your mind, do it?
I mean wow? I mean why not?
I remember you're extremely likable though to be honest, yeah, that's nice, but people aren't okay, fair enough, tell me a comment story.
There's something that that's like, you know, but I remember back in the day. I don't know if you remember this, but when Jean Favreau did Swingers, and I'm a huge Fabreu fan and Vince Vaughn fan, he had put up a comment board. It was just on you could go and he would reply to the comments and you would talk to John Favreau. And as a young person who's like trying to do it, I thought that was so cool. The accessibility, and we're so accessible now. So I was like, you know what, I'm going to do this with my special. I wanted people to be able to say what they want to say and then get back to them. And then if people say they don't like it, it's fine, because, as you know, comedy's one hundred percent subjective. If you don't like it, you don't like it, it's okay, thanks for giving it a shot. You know. It's not like I don't get into it and start like yelling at them, you know, And I'm not really getting anything like like name calling me or like bully and stuff. I shut that stuff down real quick, you know. So I'm not really worried about that. But I just think it's important to interact with the fans. I mean, we're roll here because we have fans.
Right, So how long is you're special?
Just over an hour?
Was that purposeful? You try to keep it in an hour?
Be about an hour is the right amountain time where you could go Yeah, I cut out some stuff that I didn't like it during the tour because I toured with it for two and a half years, like I said, and I had a funny story that happed me with my son.
That's a big part of my show.
And I actually took out a different story and just put that in because I was telling my friends.
We had gone to disney.
World, and I don't know if you ever been to Disneyland, they do that big Star Wars ride and my son was five years old to plointed, and he had never We went on the Star Wars ride and it's super immersive, like everybody's playing a part. And my son had never been on a ride and never seen a Star Wars movie, so he thought he had abducted by aliens.
He had no idea.
And we're on the ride and having I'm such a Star Wars geek, I'm a joint and I look over and my son is hugging the guardrail and he's yelling.
I want to go back to her. And I'm like, oh my god. And then I realized.
I was like, oh no, this kid has no idea what's happening. And it was just so funny. And I told that story to Steve in the car as we were driving, and he was like, you gotta tell us on stage, And that night I told it on stage and it became like a centerpiece of my show.
Would you watch it back and realize where you were getting some laughs and then try to make those moments a little more crisp. Yeah, do you game tape yourself?
I do. Dang, that's hard. That's hard. You watch yourself.
I hate myself when I do that.
Everybody does. That's the worst. That's the worst. Watch when you're like, oh, when do you think something's gonna kill?
But I get less confident, like I'll watch anything I do and I'm really, oh, yeah, I'm like, you're awful. So I find like, sometimes, depending on where my mental and emotional state is, it's better for me not to do that. Sometimes if I'm in a good place, I can and I can make the notes. Do you have anybody that you can trust to tell you that something's going great or even not going great?
Yeah, you could tell too, though. I mean I've been doing it a long time. I've been doing comedy a long time, so you could tell. I self at it a lot. I'll also not give up on something. If it's not working, then I'll sit up there and say three more jokes in it.
That's what my friend Mark taught me too.
It is like, try three jokes if one doesn't work, and if none of them work, it's.
Not a good joke.
So I'll get up there because I have improv background, so I'll just jump in try some stuff. I had a great show, Like this new tour is still like in its very early stages. So I just did Chattanooga last night and it was a great show, and I was like, Okay, this is this is the one to start replicating. So you know, I've done about twelve shows with this tour so far, and I was like, this is the right one.
Joe Gotto official dot com, not.
The regular Joe. I don't know that other guy.
I don't know if the exists. Did you look at it?
Know it's somebody just has the domain. It's just somebody hasn't So you got to throw the official on the end.
Or mister that's what I had to do, mister Bobby Balins, because yeah, some guy wouldn't give me. This sounds very regal, I know, and I'm not like that's the weird part about it. Joe Goto official dot com for all the tour dates, and you're all over the place. There are dates all the way up until March up next year. So is your goal to build out another special.
The goal is to keep getting in front of people and making them laugh.
I just love making an event for people to come and forget how terrible life is and laugh together for a while.
So I'm having a lot of fun doing this.
And then I'm sure when this is over, I'll have the same feeling I had with the last one, which is you just don't want it to just go away.
So the kid's book, tell me about this? Yeah, where's Barry?
Yeah?
I just came out. I just came up with a kid's book. It's been so much fun. My I partnered with Penguin Publishing Group, got illustrated by a great guy, Luke Flowers, And it's a story about my son lost his stuffed animal and he he was playing hide and go seek with it at bedtime. Like if you're a parent, you know, if your kid loses their stuffy it's at bedtime, it's forget it, it's over right. So it was catastrophic. So I was like, you gotta calm down, let's find it. And we taught him how to calm down and retrace his steps, and he started like breathing and doing like this non mistay thing, which way.
I didn't even know to this day where he got it from. He was like mine.
I was like okay, And then he had hidden it under a pot under the sink, like upside down, like I never would have found it. He was playing higme and go seek with it, and we never would have found it. So I'm like, thank goodness he was able to and it was a fun story. So I sent it out. It got illustrated and it came a really fun kids book.
Your Animal Rescue. You talk about your wife, you have a service dog here with you. Yeah, what apremony. She's in the book as well.
She was in Where's Berry?
What is it about dogs or animals that you guys are so passionate about.
We have a senior dog rescue in on Long Island. It's called Ghatto Pups and Friends, and we started it about two years ago. My wife was just collecting these old decrepit dogs for a while. She was just that we just had like so many rescue dogs, and I'm like, we could probably do better if we start trying to find them homes and adopt them out, you know. So we just adopted out this last week and I think our one hundred and twentieth dog, which is so much fun. It's great to find homes for them, but we we just love them.
They're part of the family.
We have eleven dogs ourselves and then the path.
You have eleven dogs, eleven dogs, Yeah, this is where do they all live.
In the house?
Yeah, and they sleep in the eight of them sleep upstairs with us. Most of them are like smaller. We only have a couple that are bigger, bigger, but like she sleeps on my pillow and she tours with you.
She comes within the road with me every now and again. Yeah.
How much of the touring are you doing in a car? How much are you flying?
When it's a fly in and then fly out one, I'll take the dog with me. If I'm doing multiple flights in between, I don't take her, But I do lots of driving.
I like to drive.
Well, you just drive. We won't just drive from New York, but you'll fly somewhere, fly, pick up a rental.
Yes.
What do you do all day when you have a short night, I.
Walk around, I go.
I love going into these little towns, just popping around and stuff, going to main street, getting a coffee and a donut, meet people, shopping, into like a you know, candles and BS store.
I just think if I saw Joe, I'd feel like I'd be looking around.
Oh that you get that all the time, like, well, are you about to do something to me? Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I was at Target and I got to find the paper towels. Is a nice little old lady red vest. I say excuse me, misswiss of paper towels, and she looks at me and goes, oh, no, Joe, you're not getting me towels later.
That's funny.
That was the old time.
Are you. Are you feeling fulfilled from kind of this new season of Joe? Yeah?
Life is good. Yeah, I got a little bit of balance, a little bit back.
I got uh you know, I feel like a better dad, better husband. I'm still getting the comedy, uh uh, scratching the itch of the comedy with everything I'm doing.
The creativity is great.
It's just always fun when you concentrate on something for so long, one thing, like you know, when you were able to look away, you have so many other ideas.
It's cool to be able to chase these things.
And did you feel like you weren't able to get bored? Therefore you wouldn't really create. Were you so busy doing the show?
I was very busy doing the show. Yeah.
It was very consuming, you know, because I did the production and edits and everything, and then we toured together and it just was non stop kind of stuff.
Yeah. If I am just going, if I'm doing stand up or doing a TV show and then doing the radio show, I can never get bored. Therefore, I just feel like I'm never actually creating. I'm just trying to maintains. Therefore, nothing is coming out of me that I'm like super proud of because I'm just trying to keep up all the time.
Yeah.
But then when you start something new, that sparks up the whole machine again.
Right.
So that's what's really fun and exciting, is like like I wrote the kids book, I'm like, oh, this is really cool. I've never done this, and then you get really into it and behind it, you know.
I like to go back to something you said earlier when you said, uh, up on my comment of I'm not good at small talk. You said, yeah obviously or something like that. He noticed, Yeah, yeah, he k know whatever it was. He said, I'm curious to get pulled the bathroom. You pulled the eye, got got the body, and you disappeared by myself and hold on. I was for like a good ten minutes, and then I did. I was like, I just need to go to the bathroom and kind of regroup, because again, you're a big famous Joe and here here I am. I'm like, I don't notice. It's loud, and you're like, hey, man, where are you from? And so that's awkward. So you didn't yell at your face oh me, Oh that's me. It's like that was a pressure to you. It's like you're meeting somebody in a bar. A good pressure to me, though, what do you like to eat? You're just doing that the whole time. So I'm like, I know I'm annoying this guy. He doesn't want to be here with me either, But I did like you. I thought you were super warm. I just think nobody ever wants to be around me because I'm terrible at that. What was your impression after working with me for I don't know eight minutes.
I was excited that we actually because we was able to book this right we got the news that I was doing this right before, so I was like, oh, this is great. I could talk about doing this, and you're like, yeah, i'll see you that, I'm gonna go pee. I was like, all right, later, I guess i'll talk to the studio. But and then you were like, yeah, I gotta go piece out. This is my wife Sea and you were gone. But uh, I think like you were that. You're right, that is a very loud, weird place. Everybody's looking at you. But when the cameras started and we were on that little stage together and it got we had a lot of fun in the moment. We only had you know, you know what was it before we introduced Keith Urban.
We had a minute and a half.
But it was a very fun minute and a half because we went off the cuff, which I love.
And you are super smart and quick, which is cool.
And then everybody in the theater like responded to us, everybody in the arena, which was really fun.
So I think overall, you'll give yourself.
A hard time. I'd back it down a bit. I think you're a good guy.
I never said I wasn't a good guy, but now I can actually see. So when you're doing these shows, what time do you get to bed?
Depends if I have the dog with me.
I sleep way better, go to bed much quicker because I'm so used to sleeping with so much animals.
But yeah, i'd probably go to bed I right when I get back.
You're off the high of a show, probably around midnight ish one o'clock.
So not like the hard comedy four am.
No, because the shows I only do one show. I don't like comedy clubs. I'll go to bed later because the late show starts at ten thirty. But my show is in around seven thirty, so I'll go when I play casino, it's a little bit later.
That's pretty nice.
Yeah.
Do you ever have that feeling like because homot do you tour by yourself?
Yeah?
Well I have a group of people that come, but the team that works with me. But and then Mark, who's my opener, who is very funny. He's with me on all dates.
But like you're close, you're close folks. They stay home for the most part.
Yeah, my kids come to me every now and again. My kids will be me next weekend, which is cool.
Do you ever do the thing where it's like if they're celebrating ah, and you get back to your hotel room like an hour and you're like, I'm so alone.
I liked it.
When people were liking me, they were yelling.
It is a weird thing where you're just sitting there eating room service nachos, watching something on.
The streamer, you know what I mean.
It's a little different.
You know, like you're going from these taking your bows in front of this theater and now you're like, yeah, i'll take can I get extra cheese?
It sounds like you're like enjoying life, Like you're smiling when you're talking, and that doesn't always happen with all artists and performers. You can kind of tell they're just kind of fighting through something. Oh yeah, I feel like that. Hopefully you found this new part of a film in your life. Does everybody come out to you and go, why aren't you on the show anymore? Is that the most annoying question ever?
Full time? Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, sure, And what do you say to.
Them, I'm not on it anymore.
Do you ever come across yourself? Do you watch yourself?
Yeah?
I mean it's on now and again, I mean it's I see things like in airports, you know, like it'll be on the show and stuff and that people will realize that's always so funny.
But they're like, oh, what.
It's on airplanes, Like I'll be waiting on the line to go to the bathroom or something and I'll see somebody. I'll see me on somebody's screen and they're laughing and then they look over and it's me and they're like what.
What is it?
And I'm like, yeah, I'm just going to the bathroom. Well, yeah, it's it's been good. I mean.
The biggest thing people want to know is like, oh, well, you're still friends with the guys because it's such a show. And I'm like, yeah, we were friends before, we're friends after. We've been friends, you know, thirty, we're just not friends from work anymore.
So you guys have any questions for Joe maybe, I mean just working with friends for so long and we've all been together like a lot of years. Yeah, so we started really young together. But was there ever any conflict that y'all had to navigate?
Yeah?
Always, always, you know, comedy is hard by committee too, you know, but we always worked it out. We would always have an open mind. There was always a sentence we could say to each other. Where I remember there was like a specific punishment I wanted to do where I wanted. Sal always gets in his own mind and he's like very fun to watch, like if you manipulate all his neurosis. And I was like, let's make a punishment where Sal doesn't know he's being punished and continually thinks he is and isn't is and isn't As I can, he'll unravel. I said, it'll be so fun we could do and nobody, nobody was in on it. And I remember me and Q were talking and I just looked at him and said, I'm gonna do it. It's gonna be funny, and he goes okay, and that was it. And we've said that sentence to each other a bunch of times, just like, trust me, it's going to be funny and well. And we always knew we'd be able to make and if somebody had some confidence in it, we did it. So that would be like the sentence that would be like, guys, you know, because it's everybody's show too, right, you can't be like you can't do this on your show like that. That was always weird, but we always most part agreed. We had worked together for so long before that we get your own voice. It was kind of like a one voice.
Kind of thing.
Being friends for that long though too, the hanging out because y'all are working together so much. Then it's like, would you all ever be like, hey, you want to grab dinner for fight in it?
It would be so funny when we'd see each other out in the wild.
We had the saying see you in twelve hours because we literally there's one time where I saw it.
We saw each other for.
Thirty two days in a row, like in a row, like you don't see your family that might. It was crazy, like we had a tour, we had our cruise, then we went on a tour. We had the show back to filming, then we went on a tour and it was like insanity. And then I remember there's somebody's it was like a wedding or something, and we all had to go to somebody's wedding. Somebody's getting married from the show on the production team, and we all went to the wedding and we were.
Like saw each other at a wedding.
We're like, we were just talking about bits of what we could do with the wedding. I'm like, guys, could we not think about like how we're gonna best we hear at this wedding.
Eddie, lunchbox, anything for Joe.
Yeah, I could. He mentioned a cruise real quick. So we've been trying to talk Bobby into doing a Bobby Bone show crew.
You love it. What's that like?
Going on vacation with your crazy fans at seas for six days?
So so fun?
I get motionsick though, don't go Yeah I tried, I tried. Yeah, alright. Motion sickness is kind of like no, that's like the thing that just sits in here. Yeah, and no thing you can do.
Everybody tarts with the stupid like ear patches and whatnot.
Wristbands, ear patches, butt plus watched The Horizon. I don't know you're talking about the consult your physician, different different groove, different groove, Morgan.
Yeah, I want to know if you guys ever ran into any legal problems when you were doing these jokes or punishment.
Something had to happen, because some of those go horribly wrong, I would imagine.
Yeah.
Actually it played in our favor once because we had gotten a letter from the city.
We did this bit where we were just doing a stupid thing down by the UH.
By the UH one of the official buildings downtown and out front it had these huge statues, and we made Sal start playing a competition of got your nose, So you had this the nose always had to get bigger. So you start with a baby, which is weird to do to somebody's baby, and then you do it to an adult, which is even weirder. And then Sal was like, there was this huge statue and he climbed on this statue and he was like, got your nose whatever, and it was like a huge thing.
We got a letter from the city.
They had seen it, and they sent a production We're having a meeting and their production manager comes in.
He's like, hey, we just got a letter. We have to you know, we got to find from.
The city about this trespassing and they had seen a thing that you know, because it's a landmark building, and blah blah blah, and they left. The next day, Sal wasn't in and I was in with everybody. The showrunner comes in and he goes, hey, don't worry, we got that thing sorted.
I was like, no, we didn't know, we didn't, we didn't. Sal's in trouble.
Just leave it.
So then we started this whole campaign up that Sal was facing.
A five hundred thousand dollars fine and needed to go to a dissertation, like to sit down with a judge. And we posed this whole thing downtown they have the where they film NYPD Blue and all that they have, like these fake courthouses. We rented one out, got extras, made somebody as an actress, and used all these hidden cameras that we had never used before. There was like a lipstick cam in a water bottle, like all this high end stuff, and made Sal sit through this thing. And then a couple of months after that, we had our one of our sets rated by Homeland Security and they rolled up like a movie like whooa like, and they go up to Sal and eventually he turns around and the woman who was the judge was like, gotcha, and he just melted. It took about a year and a year and two months for it to play out, which was really really fun.
That's why.
Yeah, and he could his mind just exploded. He's like, how did I not get this? You know it was his day off when he went for the dissertation.
I was working. I didn't get paid that day. Like, it really was funny.
How rich did you guys get basic Cable, not very I don't believe that. Yeah, no, no residuals, nothing like that. The movie helps you get paid the residuals on the written movie, which was cool, but uh, Basic cable, you don't get any.
The special is messing with people. You can search for it. It's on YouTube now and Joe is all over So how do you do you say? Gott it got my accent in your accent.
Everybody says Gotto. Yeah it's Gatto.
So it is Gatto, gat got gat Ghatto, Gotto, Joe Gatto.
See, okay, I get, I get.
Gotto, Gaeto, Gatto.
You know it gets it goes all over the place, but Gatto, Yes, Gatto.

This is great and next time I'll not pee I'll just hold it. I'll ply it to people really bad. I'm like, I'm not gonna go to the bathroom Joe the bathroom shoes.
I came in and I'm just gonna talk to these fine folks.
Joe. Get to see man, get to see there is Joe g addat everybody, Thank you, GUV. Guy wins lottery. So jam's Philip ags He claimed five hundred thousand dollars and the lunchbucks. Explain what the drawing is because it's Lucky for life drawing. Is that if you lose a scratch off, everybody goes in, they draw another name you can if you lose.
There's a second chance on most lotteries where you scan the barcode and you're entered into something and I guess it's just a drawing and they draw a random one.
You win. So at million bucks. What's it called set for life? Yeah, Lucky for life. Oh lucky. So a second person was also a winner, but a lottery officials said that the winner hadn't come forward yet. So you have one winner five dollars. Oh no, there's a second winner who hadn't come forward yet. What's up?
What do you think is happening. Then they're going to inform the second person. Sorry, the first one came forward. You don't get your money.
No, it turns out because two people want it. Turns out the second winner was also the guy who won the first one. He bought two lottery tickets. There I both pulled. No, that's rigged. There's someone helping him double the money. Well, yeah, because you want twice two tickets, he says, he always buys two lottery tickets so we can double his prizes. He didn't climb the second prize right away because he had misplaced that ticket. Fox four k C. The first guy came forward with him, but there was also the first guy won the second one million dollars.
Amazing lucky for life, that's yeh, super lucky for life.
Thoughts. I feel like someone helped him out. Someone rigged it. Don't you think if you were going to rig it, you wouldn't do it that hard. You just do the first one and you don't do the second, and you like the best person who keep robbing banks even though you're close to getting caught. It's like, you know, you got away with it so many times, and you kind of just chill now Yeah, did you ever watch How to Be a Bank Robber? Yeah? I like that. That's good, right, it's pretty good. That's awesome, it's pretty good.
I tried.
That was pretty good. Play me in voicemail.
Number four, I just love your cash. I just want to say that I'm a homeless man. At least you show every single one religiously. I just want to say hi, thank you.
Scuba. Is are a phone number with this guy?
Yeah?
Find it. I don't know much about him, don't know where he's from. He's really homeless. I mean he says that. What we know is the voicemail that he left. I mean, if he's a listener and he's homeless, like to help him out in some way if we can, love to try to track that down, and then let's do one more voicemail here him with number five.
I was calling just to see if we could get a few updates. One is Lunchbox's car. I was wondering what's going on with that? The next in Scuba Steve's possible little job chain and group um without Scuba, although we will miss you greatly. And number three is Eddie Chicken deal with the grocery store chain. I know the chickens didn't want to work out, but he said he was working on something else, kind of secret, and I was just wondering if we could get an estate on me. Thanks so much, love the show.
Fifteen second updates Lunchbox your car go, Oh yeah, it's still dead. I think it needs a new engine. It's sitting in front of my house. Okay, scob to Stea fifteen second update. Absolutely nothing's happened. I'm still to stand some wading to see what can happen. It could happen this year or January of next year. Eddie. Fifteen second up date.
We have a meeting scheduled with Kroger at the end of October, at the end of this month, and I'll give an update after that happens.
That's crazy. Okay, thank you guys. It's time for the good news.
Ay.
So, with hurricanes impacting a lot of people, there is a need for relief and water, and there's some beer breweries that have put a focus on canning water and getting it out to people instead of canning beer per usual in Charlotte, Charleston and even Denver. Such as the power of people coming together and prioritizing humans over profits.
Yeah, because again they're not making money on beer, like they're just doing water to help.
Yeah, and I mean they're paying their employees like go do this and get the water out there, distribute it all of their efforts.
I feel like this first happened when I heard of it, it was a katrina, the katrina where the started happening like for the first time, or was it like a tornado or something after that. But it's like in the last five or six years, this has really become a thing. Even like the Anheuser bush plants would do this when it got real bad and they would go like, all right, we're shutting it down and we're not making beer. They take the beer labels off though, right, that's not insane. You just no, you don't stick in the beer cans, Okay, they don't stick to the bear Yeah. Yeah, that's just one part of the process. It No, Yeah, I would be confusing one part of the process and the whole thing is putting in the labels on the cans. So you just don't do that part of the process. Yeah. Good story, that's what it's all about. That was telling me something good. And that is the end of the first half of the podcast is the end of the first half of the podcast.
