You got to do it every day. It's a liver cleanse. It's for guys who don't really want to stop drinking.
1:40Matt McCusker:It's a little supplement on Instagram where they go, you've talked about being a booze bag a lot. We've picked that up. Here's your liver health and your algorithm. I don't want to stop drinking. It's too fun. Hey, I'll tell you what. I got my hands on a little revolutionary war doc. Yeah. You want to know, how do you think we came up with the name United States of America?
2:01Lemaire Lee:No one even thinks about it, do they? Well, I just assumed it was a bunch of states that would be united. Yeah, but you still got to come up with a name when you go, we're declaring independence. What the fuck do we call ourselves?
2:11Shane Gillis:I feel like it was early on and you called things what they were back then. You weren't going to come up with a fancy name. You were going to just say, this is what it is. It's a fuck you to the king. The United States of America.
2:23Lemaire Lee:I like that you're trying to sell that you're wrong, but I like it. I mean, I have no idea because I don't nerd out these docs. Okay, Star Wars tat.
2:32Joe Derosa:Freddy Krueger t-shirt.
2:36Matt McCusker:But no, I never even took the time to think about it.
2:39Shane Gillis:But it's not that simple.
2:41Matt McCusker:It's not just like this. You can't just be like, we all agree this is what we're calling it. Because everybody has to come together and be like, what do we... What is an America anyway? You know? That's a good point, Lamer. What's a Europe? Shit, dude. What's an Africa? I mean, you're asking the hard-hitting questions. I always thought it was named after Amerigo Vespucci. That's what they... Which I think that's been... Debunked?
3:05Shane Gillis:Proven false. Yeah, the Columbus Indians thing is probably false, too. Probably. That he called them Indians because he thought he was in India. Yeah, I think he knew exactly where he was. There was a term they were called that said people of God, and it was like in... I forget what it is.
3:23Lemaire Lee:I thought he called them...
3:24Matt McCusker:Well, anyway, it turns out just some fucking guy wrote into a local paper, the Pennsylvania Post, and said, we should be the United States of America. It was like an editorial. And he didn't write his real name. His pseudonym was Republicus. Fucking badass. Republicus. That's pretty badass. He fired me up last night. Also, is there a bigger juice on the planet? That's the juice. Writing into the paper and going, we should call this country United States of America. Also, my name's Republicus. And the whole country was like, yo, United States of America is sick, dude. I bet a USA chant started almost.
4:11Matt McCusker:The first guy was like, USA. U-S-A. U-S-A.
4:20Joe Derosa:Republicus. You know how in the music docs they're like, hmm, fucking war pigs. They did that with the USHA.
4:29Shane Gillis:Wait a minute. But I agree with LaMere. What does America come from if it's not the Americo Vespucci guy?
4:37Lemaire Lee:I'm not sure. I think it might be Americo Vespucci. What if it was Vespucci's Voltaire? What?
4:45Joe Derosa:I said what if Republicans was Vespucci's Voltaire? What does that mean? Voltaire. I know who Voltaire is He had a fake name and then He got in trouble And people say if you have a fake name you have a Voltaire
4:59Shane Gillis:Oh okay I didn't know that
5:02Joe Derosa:Sorry But what did you mean by what you said Like what if Republicus is Vespucci No it was It was like
5:13Matt McCusker:300 years later Okay
5:17Lemaire Lee:Alright
5:18Shane Gillis:All right. All right. Yeah, well, shit, man.
5:23Matt McCusker:You live and you learn. No, I think they said it was Thomas Paine or... I think they said that might have been Republicus. They don't know who Republicus was.
5:37Lemaire Lee:ChetGPP still says it's from Americo Vespucci. All right. All right. But it's the feminine Latin form of Americus, which I kind of like Americus more.
5:47Matt McCusker:Yeah, I like Americus. Americus is good.
5:49Shane Gillis:Yeah, U.S. on the end of a word or a name or O-R. Yeah, you like some Latin. Yeah. Us. Republic Us. Republic War. Like, they sound like Transformer names. Yeah. Or He-Man names.

And Gavin goes, now, look, he's like, you know, there are statistics about black people, about the crime and stuff like that. He goes, but when you meet a black person, you don't take those statistics into it. You start with a clean slate and you judge them as a person. Do you do that with Jews? It kind of goes, nope. And Gavin starts laughing. He goes, this intervention is not going well.
13:49Matt McCusker:I think it was going right where Gavin wanted it to. Yeah, exactly. Well, there we go. What else is going on? We're just remembering stuff we saw. I like that. I have a good doc to recommend.

19:33Matt McCusker:Matt's gone. I'll be reading on behalf of Matt. Okay. Matt. Okay, okay. A quick break from the show for a special segment called More or Less Football Edition. And it's brought to you by PrizePix. Right. So Shane and I are going to be presented with three player picks and decide together whether we should go more or less each pick. Shane, so who's looking sharp? And who's just like a pedestrian on the field? Yeah. Matt, this is what we're thinking prize picks this week. Let's choose more or less each of the following picks. A.J. Brown, more or less than 55 receiving yards. I'm going more. More.
20:14Matt McCusker:He's been getting – he's not getting a lot of touches. He's starting to complain they're going to force the ball to him. More than 55 yards receiving. I'll go less since you guys want more just to mix it up. Cam Scadaboo, more or less than.5 rushing touchdowns. Do you think he's going to score or not? I love the name. I'm going to say more. I like it, too. He's got a bit of a Star Wars name there. Yeah. Josh Allen, more or less, 228 passing guys. You've got to go more. The guy's a gunslinger. Okay.
20:39Joe Derosa:Shane, I'm going to say I'd go less. Last week, I picked him, and he went under. How about that?
20:47Matt McCusker:Wow. All right. So that's our take. Now it's time to lock in with yours. Prize picks. don't just stand your face stand on business win real money with your best takes whether it's touchdown passes receptions take your more or less pick on their stat projections to cash in this season uh here you read from matt there second paragraph up yeah yeah it's small it's

24:27Shane Gillis:But I was an alright rapper. You're a good rapper? I was a decent rapper at one point. You know, I haven't done it in a long time. Sometimes I still write little rhymes in my head. I'm like, I wish I was a rapper.
24:36Lemaire Lee:Give me some bars.
24:40Shane Gillis:I can't remember anything right now.
24:42Lemaire Lee:No, and I honestly am trying to try to remember something.
24:45Shane Gillis:Okay, please.
24:46Matt McCusker:Because that would be big for me. I think everyone would be very happy to hear you spit some bars.
24:53Joe Derosa:But you had a band.
24:54Matt McCusker:I know. It still does.
24:56Shane Gillis:You still have a band? What the hell? Yeah, no, yeah. It's still a band. Yeah, it's also Windfall. Yeah, our new record comes out in a couple months. Oh, sick. Yeah, yeah, it's done. Yeah. Then we're going to run and do shows and stuff. That's fun, man. I love doing that. But yeah, rapping not so much anymore. It's a young man's game. It's a young man's game. It's a black man's game. It's a different level of commitment. Yeah. Rapping is like being a comic. It's like you have to be a rapper. You know what I mean? It's an everyday thing. Not to say that being in a band isn't, but it's a little more lax for whatever reason.
25:36Shane Gillis:But there's something about rapping because it's a solo. It's a solo act. That's why I said it's like being a comic. It's like constantly. Yeah, it's a solo. What do you got in the battle?
25:45Lemaire Lee:You know what I mean? Have you ever rap battles? Yeah, I used to do it all the time. That must have been so gay. Where's that? Where can I get that footage?

35:29Shane Gillis:Did you ever eat at that restaurant in New York where Washington took his men before the Battle of Valley Forge?
35:36Matt McCusker:No.
35:37Shane Gillis:It's in Fideye. You know that area of Fideye where it's like the cobblestone street and there's all the bars? It's right down there. That's awesome. It's a steakhouse. Yeah. Yeah, and he took his men. Isn't that, it's so wild. It's crazy. Like, yeah, they were treating it like they were, like, about to shoot a movie or something. Like, it was a big dinner.

It was for freedom. Yeah. And a couple brewskis before you go shoot some redcoats. Yeah, you have to be. Also, you know what fired me up? There's a part where, so obviously the revolution starts in Massachusetts, and then they're trying to rally the rest of the colonies to be like, help us out. And then so like Virginia, that's why they get Washington, because he was a Virginian, so they want to bring all the colonies in. But then when Pennsylvania and like South Carolina and North Carolina of start joining in and then it's just such a like it was it was a true melting pot you know i mean but it's talking about how like just frontiersmen from pennsylvania started rolling in and hanging out with all these new england pussies right it's like damn that's pretty sick yeah and they were like these guys are a problem they were like uh like the british were like oh fuck they got the retarded guys pa was always a problem pa was a problem pa anybody that was like out Appalachia was where the country stopped okay like past that was like native land and there were people out there fighting so these guys had been fighting for 40 years see this is the shit I wish

And then he blew a 14 or 17 point lead and missed an extra point
50:56Lemaire Lee:and lost. And I said something. He went like this. He went, DeRosa. I said, yo, dude.
51:04Shane Gillis:Yo, yo, yo, dude.
51:07Matt McCusker:He's a number one video game spaz. Punches the table. Spazes through shit.
51:14Shane Gillis:Dude, I remember we were watching the Niners and the Eagles play at Jay's house. No, this isn't the this well that one's hilarious yeah it's not the one where he texted me and said if i was in
51:24Lemaire Lee:the room with you right now i'd punch you in the face dude you don't understand sports dude
51:33Matt McCusker:the niners are losing in the nfc championship to the eagles and this cocksucker's in the group text like yeah the niners look like shit it was when the niners start the fight on the field
51:44Shane Gillis:and i go i go i remember when this was a game a bunch of bums out on this field today
51:48Lemaire Lee:Dan was like, if I was in the room with you, I'd punch you in the face. You're a little girl. I couldn't agree more with Dan.
51:57Matt McCusker:If No Name was losing a game and one of my friends that doesn't watch sports was like, they suck, they're assholes. Jay was cracking up because it was pro Eagles.
52:07Shane Gillis:Yeah, it was his team, yeah. No, one time the three of us were watching. It was me, Jay, and Soda at Jay's house in New York. and the Niners were losing and Dan was all like, okay, okay, man, okay, okay. All we did, we got to get it back. We got to run up the field. You know? Like, oh, it's not going to happen, Dan. Oh, my God. They're not good enough. Dude.
52:32Matt McCusker:You're the crumb, dude. You're the salacious. That would fucking kill me. Yeah, I'd be furious. I can tell I would get dark red face immediately. If you said that, I would feel my cheeks get red, and I'd be like, I don't even care. I'd give it about five seconds. Like, dude, shut the fuck up.
52:56Shane Gillis:Listen, I swear to God, that's how I get when somebody says like, you know, if somebody's like, I remember I got that mad at Bill because Burr said the Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars don't hold up his movies. And I got as mad as you're talking at him about that. And I was like, you know what the fuck you're talking about, dude? You think, oh, you fucking saw it too? Shut the fuck up, dude. I literally get that mad. Which one's the Empire Strike Back?
53:19Joe Derosa:Is that the fifth? The second one. The second. When Han gets frozen. It's on Hoth, dude. That shit rocks. That's tough. That's a good one. Yeah, Empire Rift. Arguably number one. It ended bad. It's the best one.
53:28Lemaire Lee:Almost inarguably number one. It ended really bad. I think hands down it's the best one. And I'm... Why did it end bad?
53:35Joe Derosa:Because what did they do? They just fucking play to the sequel. Wait, what happened? At the end of the second Star Wars. It just plays to the sequel. What do you mean plays to the sequel? It's like a cliffhanger.
53:46Shane Gillis:Yeah, yeah. That's awesome, though. That's gay. Dude, I saw that movie in the theater as a kid. That was torturous, dude. 75? No, 80. It came out in 80, and then I think we saw a re... When I was like five, I think.
54:01Joe Derosa:Yeah.
54:02Shane Gillis:But I was old enough to understand, because I watched Star Wars on TV. And dude, that cliffhanger, it was torturous.
54:10Matt McCusker:Lord of the Rings got me. i saw the first one they just walked the whole time and it fucking ended i was like yeah it was three hours so when the next one's in fucking three years i dude i never read the
54:22Shane Gillis:books yeah i knew i read the hobbit but i never read the lord of the rings was i thought the first book they get to mordor and they end it and then the second movie was a different story and i was like wait what the fuck like that realization of there's two more movies of them going to Mordor and I was I don't know if I got this in me. That's kind of how
54:40Matt McCusker:I felt about Dune 1. It wasn't for me. Dune ended and I was like oh you killed like one guy. Dune's alright though.
54:49Lemaire Lee:Dune 2 picks up. I didn't like the first one. I wasn't feeling the first one. Are you excited to see that new
54:56Matt McCusker:Leonardo movie? It looks pretty good. The libs are loving it so I'm sure you're going to fucking jack off to it. I was really excited about it and I hope it's good, but so far everyone that has been posting about it or hyped about it has been a diehard lib.
55:16Shane Gillis:I agree that it's when it gets rah-rah'd by a certain
55:21Lemaire Lee:percentage. That's how movies get ruined. That's why I went and saw Black Panther and I was like, this fucking blows, dude. Everyone's just jacking off to it.
55:28Joe Derosa:It's Black James Bond. What is? Black Panther. Black James Bond the whole time. No, it's not. How the fuck is a James Bond? He goes to Q, his sister. He gets all the tech, and then he goes solve the mysteries. All right.
55:44Shane Gillis:I never thought of it like that. Yeah, it's just black. That's because... That's because...
55:49Joe Derosa:That's because... Of course you didn't think.
55:51Shane Gillis:I think it's more like black Batman.
55:53Joe Derosa:No, Batman stinks. What the fuck are you talking about? Batman fucking sucks, dude. What are you talking about? Dude, I'm a Superman man. Superman rules. Batman stinks. That's one of the worst. You guys love Superman over Batman? No, no. Batman's the king. What are we talking about? I didn't say that. He said that. Batman ruins society. Batman sucks. Superman we need more Superman wait what do you mean Batman ruins society dude as soon as Batman Begins came out everybody started being all like dark and anti fucking moral they're like I'm gonna do what I need to do to get where I need to be but there's nobody doing anything fuck are you talking about I'm talking about morality bro
56:29Shane Gillis:you think Batman Begins ruins society? Batman Begins
56:34Joe Derosa:started like amorality culturally how? I don't know dude something about 2005 and Batman doesn't Batman isn't caring He doesn't care. He started the billionaire worship culture, actually. He cares a lot. Batman doesn't give a fuck. No, he sacrifices himself, dude. He doesn't sacrifice anything. He cares the most. Batman is selfish. Batman is selfish and he's a narcissist.
56:57Matt McCusker:No, he's not out standing in front of everyone flying going, oh, I'm Superman.
57:00Joe Derosa:No, dude, he keeps himself. Superman doesn't fly. Superman's among the people. He lives with the people. Superman doesn't fly? Superman, I'm sorry. Yeah. Superman isn't flying around willy-nilly. He's flying through buildings like 9-11 every day. He's not flying through buildings. There's so many 9-11s because of him. Real Superman doesn't fly through buildings. That's just the...
57:18Shane Gillis:I just watched the Pete Holmes did Batman Fires the Justice League videos. Those are funny. They are. The Superman one where he goes, let's have a toast. He fills out these glasses and they're green. These wouldn't happen to be kryptonite ice cubes. Would they be Batman? He goes, no, it's Asian green tea. he's like why don't you take a sip he just goes
57:45Shane Gillis:it's so funny those p.l. Holmes Batmans are funny as fuck they're really funny the um uh the mayor you're you're I don't know what you're talking about right Batman is the most selfless man on earth he he he doesn't live a playboy billionaire life he doesn't enjoy his life because he's there for Gotham he's given himself to the city
58:04Matt McCusker:who knows Gotham dude
58:06Joe Derosa:I don't think so.
58:07Shane Gillis:At the end of the third one, he almost kills himself to save the entire city.
58:12Joe Derosa:The city would be better without Batman. Only reason that other villains exist is because of Batman.
58:17Shane Gillis:I never realized, by the way, you guys know Dark Knight Returns. Or Rises, I mean. Yeah. I remember when I first saw it, everybody said when Alfred sees him in the restaurant at the end in Italy. Remember Alfred goes, I have this fantasy where I see you? Yeah. I remember when I saw the movie, everybody was like, so wait, does Alfred really see him? Or is that just like he hopes that he will one day? And I was always like, well, I guess it's up for interpretation. But then I watched it again recently, and I never caught the part where at the very end, Morgan Freeman goes, the autopilot doesn't work on this.
58:51Shane Gillis:And they go, yes, it does. It was fixed by Bruce Wayne. And I was like, oh, he autopiloted the ship and got out. Yeah. I never caught that.
58:58Lemaire Lee:I never caught that part. You should see Morgan Freeman's Twitter. Wow, what's on it?
59:03Matt McCusker:it's just nuts no there's just somebody named Morgan J. Freeman that just is like ultra liberal and for like two years I thought it was Morgan Freeman I was like this guy's a fucking asshole I was like fuck Morgan Freeman what's he saying does he pretend it's Morgan Freeman it's just a guy's name is Morgan J. Freeman but he's not faking Morgan what the fuck is Morgan Freeman talking about
59:32Shane Gillis:Do you ever look on the James Woods Twitter?
59:35Lemaire Lee:Yeah, I'll peep some James Woods. He goes hard to pee. He's fired up.
59:39Shane Gillis:They'll be like, yeah, I guess cops are all bad, you fat pig sharp. He goes hard. James Woods is fired up. Jesus Christ, man.
59:49Matt McCusker:There are Batmans, dude. James Woods? We need somebody, dude. He's the fucking Caped Crusader. We need him in the shadows. you know what maybe I am racist
1:00:03Lemaire Lee:yes dude I wasn't going to say it Jesus Christ man I'm not
1:00:10Joe Derosa:wait did you like the new Superman movie yeah it was fun it was nice Superman was Superman
1:00:17Shane Gillis:except for the fact that he gets beat up in every scene
1:00:20Joe Derosa:because here's the thing he doesn't know who's in the suit Superman has to temper his power
1:00:25Shane Gillis:everybody not in the suit the lizard beats him up the fucking... He didn't get beat up by a lizard. The dog saves him like eight times. Yeah. He got beat up by... He got beat up by a fucking lizard? He got beat up... No, no. He finds a giant Godzilla thing. Superman kills that thing. He gets his ass beat by a lizard? He gets knocked around. He kills that thing. He's knocked around a little.
1:00:43Joe Derosa:Superman gets knocked around, but he doesn't even kill that thing without exploding it. He knocks it unconscious. Notre Dame looked good against Arkansas.
1:00:51Matt McCusker:Notre Dame looked good. Yeah, sorry. It's your problem. Notre Dame fucked up Arkansas so bad they destroyed the program. Everyone got fired. Really? Yeah. Notre Dame went crazy on them. Nice. Yeah.
1:01:01Shane Gillis:Hey, how was that show?
1:01:02Matt McCusker:The Notre Dame show? It was not ideal for stand-up, but it was a dream come true. It was kind of probably the coolest thing I've ever done. How many people? It was probably like 85 ,000. Jesus Christ. Not ideal for stand-up, but pretty fucking cool.
1:01:20Lemaire Lee:What does a laugh sound like in an environment like that? Well, I didn't run into too many laughs.
1:01:28Matt McCusker:A lot of families. A lot of people that were very confused going, who the fuck is this guy? When's he going to start playing whatever instrument he's supposed to play? Why is he walking around talking for 30 minutes?
1:01:39Shane Gillis:He's been talking about a Down syndrome coffee shop for 15 minutes. He's been talking about a Down syndrome and jacking off. What the fuck?
1:01:46Lemaire Lee:That's so fucking funny, man.
1:01:48Matt McCusker:Yeah. Shout out to them for letting me do that at the university. They didn't know what I was going to say, but I'm sure they got some letters since then. And they haven't said anything to me. So that's nice.
1:01:59Shane Gillis:But it was more his. So you feel it was more his crowd than your crowd.
1:02:02Matt McCusker:It was. I had a lot of people there for sure. Good. I had a lot. Like a lot of people were really. It was cool. Good. It was cool. But there were definitely people there that had no idea who I was and did not see the billing or did see the billing and were like, this must be a country singer that I've never heard of. And we're just like. Your name does sound like a country singer. He's just. Yeah. He's just talking for the first 10. We'll pick up something. He's probably really good. but this guy's funny for a musician.
1:02:31Shane Gillis:Yeah. You have a country singer's name. Shane Gillis sounds like a country singer.
1:02:38Lemaire Lee:I think you can do that with any name. Joe DeRosa? Sounds like Ponderosa.
1:02:43Matt McCusker:It sounds exactly like a Western... Hey, folks, I'm Joe DeRosa. Doesn't have the same ring. It does. You got a country. You need to get into country instead of hip-hop. Have you thought of the bars yet? Because I'm going to need those before the end of this. desperately.
1:02:57Lemaire Lee:Sometimes I would write lyrics
1:03:01Shane Gillis:like in my head for rappers I was a fan of.
1:03:04Matt McCusker:All right, give me an example.
1:03:04Shane Gillis:So like I wrote a two short lyric in my head once. Let me hear it. I always wanted to hear a two short go, because the one thing I learned about being a Mac, treat a girl bad, the dumb bitch comes back. That was my two short lyric that I wrote. That's pretty good. Yeah. You could hear two short saying it, couldn't you?
1:03:21Lemaire Lee:Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's nothing to be ashamed of there. Yeah. Nate's fucking feeling it. Not in a bad way, but it was way better than I thought it was going to be. That's fine.
1:03:31Matt McCusker:Yeah, it was definitely not great, but it was also. That's two-shirts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought you were possessed by two-shirt for a second.
1:03:40Joe Derosa:Yeah.
1:03:40Lemaire Lee:I actually felt like my two-shirt impression wasn't that bad for a first attempt. No, it was good. I mean, you've been thinking about it for 30 years. 30. Just bouncing around there. You finally let it out.
1:03:51Joe Derosa:You can move on. About 30. Do you have another one? Can you do like a Nas?
1:03:56Shane Gillis:Sometimes I write little raps in my head about comedians I hate. I'm like, I wish I could do a rap song about comedians and not look like an idiot. There's no way of doing it. I would not look like an idiot. Absolute idiot. Some decent ones. Whatever. Just come out.
1:04:14Lemaire Lee:Just rip everybody. Crack Amigo would bury you, dude. You can't step into his lane. Crack goes hard. Sag, man. Crack goes real hard. Sagalo is good, too. Sagalo is very good. Yeah. Sagalow sounds like a rapper you would like. Sagalow sounds very good. And it's serious rap. It's not funny. Yeah. Yeah, he's good. He's good. You ever think of any good raps?
1:04:38Joe Derosa:No, I'm not a rapper. That's my trait, though.
1:04:41Matt McCusker:Outside of stand-up, what would you do creatively to express your inner darkness?
1:04:49Joe Derosa:Probably be in a car shop. Car shop? Playing Yu-Gi-Oh or something. Card shop? Yeah. playing video games in an arcade? No, no, I meant creatively. Oh, card shop. What? It's a card shop. You mean like a place that sells Pokemon? I thought you were making a song.
1:05:06Shane Gillis:Lamar, if you weren't so laid back, I would think you were on Coke right now. The shit you're talking about is insane.
1:05:11Matt McCusker:Yeah, this is...
1:05:12Shane Gillis:You're like, Batman Begins ruined society. I wouldn't work at a card shop. I stand on that.
1:05:17Matt McCusker:That's a good thing. Maybe America Vespucci was Voltaire. Dude, that was good too.
1:05:23Joe Derosa:That was good too.
1:05:24Matt McCusker:It's a reach. You say a sentence and then everyone has to wait and try to figure out what you meant. And then ask you and go, where did that come from? What did you mean by that? I don't know, just tapped into my smartness.
1:05:40Matt McCusker:Just tapped into my smartness. You're a fucking child. I don't mean to be that mean. Christ. Just having fun. We are having fun. And you're, you're, you're...
1:05:52Joe Derosa:But what I wanted to tell you is that my wife is very good at studying. Semesterbeitrag, Laptop, Bücher, software, Handy, Internet. So a Master is really cheap.
1:06:00Lemaire Lee:Ach, say her, she can get it back.
1:06:02Joe Derosa:Yeah, you mean from the Steuer to set up, right? But she doesn't pay.
1:06:05Lemaire Lee:No, it's a failure. It's a failure. And if she works, it's a kaching.
1:06:12Joe Derosa:That's it?
1:06:13Lemaire Lee:Save. Wieso Steuer?
1:06:15Joe Derosa:Hol her your money back. Now, try it out. Dear friend. Dude. The Star Wars trilogy, the second one, episode one, two, and three, better set of movies than the first four, five, six. Outstanding on that. You think the prequels are better than the original trilogy? Like as a set of movies, like all together. Yeah. Dude. I mean, I like the prequels, but no. As soon as Palpatine goes execute Order 66, it makes all the other movies worth it.
1:06:41Shane Gillis:Well, no, Sith is, I love Sith. Yeah, Sith is awesome. Sith is in my top three.
1:06:46Matt McCusker:I never gave Clone Wars a real chance. attack of the clones yeah that's what i mean oh yeah yeah attack of the clones attack of the clones
1:06:55Shane Gillis:is it's really cool at times but he he went so hog wild with the cgi is nuts in it it's a lot like that droid factory sequence it's a little too much but but hey the whole end like once they get to that arena and like like uh padme and obi-wan and anakin have to fight those beasts and then the Jedi come and like it's the battle and then like and then they fight Dooku and Yoda comes out like all that shit's awesome man all that shit's awesome and then Sidious shows up at the very end yeah yeah that's awesome but Sith rips don't kill me Vader
1:07:38Joe Derosa:this is all good stuff
1:07:40Shane Gillis:Sith fucking rips and then Force Awakens rips and then they suck after that yeah I haven't seen any of the newer ones.
1:07:47Matt McCusker:Force Awakens gave me real hope. Me too. A new hope. Yeah, me too. I thought, this is it. And then the liberals struck back. Man. The liberals struck back. They said, you can't have Star Wars. They said, you can take anything you want, but don't take Star Wars.
1:08:05Lemaire Lee:Yeah, but they... The liberals got their greedy paws on my Star Wars. But Disney snatched it back. Disney's... Disney's liberal Star Wars.
1:08:16Shane Gillis:they ruined it. They were like, the Acolyte is going to change everything. We believe in this show more than anything. We put the most money into it. Dude, it got trashed. They pulled all the Acolyte merch out of the store. Which one was the Acolyte? It was the one where there was all the chick Jedi's.
1:08:34Matt McCusker:It's for the boys, dude. Star Wars is for the boys.
1:08:38Shane Gillis:Here's the thing. Make it all girl Jedi show. Just make it good. Make it awesome. Where you're like, this is fucking great. It sucked. It sucked. They did that whole lesbian planet. Hey.
1:08:53Matt McCusker:Doing the pod right now. Here, you're on.
1:08:56Lemaire Lee:My ears must have been burning, bro. How do I know?
1:08:58Matt McCusker:It's good so far. It's me, LaMare, and DeRosa. We're kind of just talking about stuff we saw. A lot of Star Wars talk. Who's there? It's McCasper. Oh, nice. DeRosa's in your chair right now. He says it's his chair now.
1:09:12Lemaire Lee:Bro, he's... I advocated for him to immediately.
1:09:17Shane Gillis:But Custer, I was confused. When Shane texted me, I thought he was saying you needed a partner. And I was like, okay, where are we recording then? He's like, my house. I was like, okay, where are you going to be? He's like, my house. I was like, why are you doing the podcast?
1:09:35Matt McCusker:These types of stories is what I've been working with. I mean, I'm trying, dude. I'm trying. You would have been pumped. I had some history stuff early. they walked all over it with they went straight to Batman vs. Superman Star Wars not true we're going to talk about their favorite toys coming up here in a second figurine collectors

1:11:15Shane Gillis:I have gotten an I love you from you before. You and me say I love you every fucking night. But that was a very nice sign off. And I kind of want to change our dynamic. I want to take some of the.
1:11:25Lemaire Lee:You're going to have to make some big changes.
1:11:27Matt McCusker:I want to take. You've had this question with me before. You go, how come you don't talk to Matt or Soder like that? No, no, no. Because they are not rotten pigs all the time. That's not what I'm saying. You don't talk shit to them like you do to me. Yes, because they don't talk shit to me like you do to me. I don't want war. I've seen war. But if you want war, so help me God.
1:11:49Lemaire Lee:Somebody else will be raising your fucking children. Hold on.
1:11:53Shane Gillis:You cut off my nice thing, I was going to say. What? And I was going to own it. It wasn't going to be nice. Yes, it was. It was going to be nice. I was going to say I want to start removing some of the acidity from the relationship and start to move towards a more caring, a more endearing, a more loving dynamic.
1:12:10Matt McCusker:Yeah, what are your proposals? What changes are you going to make? What are you offering me?
1:12:15Lemaire Lee:Sounds like you're coming to the table going, Shane, you need to make some changes. No, no, no. Let's be honest. We both have some heavy lifting to do, but I'll start. Okay.
1:12:23Matt McCusker:I'll start. Here's how we can start. Okay. Next time we hang out, neither of us criticize the other one. Okay. Until the other one. It's a ceasefire. And I'm going to go see you started it. No ceasefire. But if you're doing something slimy or gay. I do get to say that that's slimy and gay.
1:12:42Shane Gillis:But hold on a second. Here's the problem. You think everything's slimy and gay. That's not true. Yes you do.
1:12:48Lemaire Lee:You call out so much shit. Nate I don't do that to you.
1:12:55Matt McCusker:You don't call me slimy and gay? No. I call you zesty, but that's a fun joke. You call me slimy and gay. Why are you gay? You are slimy. Why are you? I don't think so. You don't really do too many things that I would be like, stop doing that. You don't mean it from the heart. I like when you goof off. You hit me with a, I can't believe you're doing this when I'm having fun,
1:13:21Joe Derosa:but it's because you know it's going to put me in my head.
1:13:23Matt McCusker:Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I mean like if you were, and we can delete this part if we need to. Okay. But if I saw you sitting at the bar being like, talking to a girl, being like, oh, that's cool body art you have. Look at this piece right here. I got this, blah, blah, blah. If I'm in the bar and I see you doing that, I'm going to slime you out.
1:13:44Shane Gillis:Yeah, but see, you shouldn't do that. You got to let your friends work in the way they work.
1:13:49Matt McCusker:I don't like to see them work that way.
1:13:52Shane Gillis:No. How do you like to see your friends work? Let a man work. Let him cook. My techniques work. And you have stepped on my techniques at times. Stepping on your techniques. Oh, my God. It's so funny. The only times I've been talking to a chick at a bar, and you're visibly mocking me from across the room. Like, visibly.
1:14:13Matt McCusker:Look, I'm all for one of the bros getting some pussy. But you got to do it the right way.
1:14:19Lemaire Lee:I know how to do it. You know how to. Yeah, all right. I know how to talk. I know how to talk.
1:14:25Matt McCusker:I don't like the – you do. You're very good at it. That's why you're very – that's why you remind me of Timberlake.
1:14:34Matt McCusker:The moose.
1:14:35Lemaire Lee:You remind me of the moose, dude. Timberlake, the moose. You remind me of Timberlake, the moose. Shout out, Mussolini. Justin Timberlake, Mussolini.
1:14:45Matt McCusker:But I guess, yeah, maybe that's on me. All right.
1:14:47Lemaire Lee:I'll allow. That's what I'm saying. I think we both got a little heavy lifted to do.
1:14:51Matt McCusker:It was so hard not to make fun of a guy that's like, it depends how you're talking to a girl. Brother. If it's like, I see you laying it on thick, dude, I go, what is he doing?
1:15:05Lemaire Lee:Just play it cool, baby. Play it cool, baby.
1:15:10Shane Gillis:This is, listen. Listen. I think we both have to remove some judgment of the other man's behaviors. And I think we'll get very far. I like where we're at I don't hate it I like where we're at I don't hate it but I will say this we've gotten ourselves into a corner of it's at a nine and a half from the beginning of the hang
1:15:34Matt McCusker:no it used to be it used to be it's not it's not it's not anymore that's like three years ago shit yeah you're right it's chilled out it's chilled out yeah we'd have every time we'd go out we'd have to talk on the phone two days later be like we good dude Dude, yeah, I just, you know.
1:15:51Lemaire Lee:Oh, dude, you just fuck off. Fuck off, dude.
1:15:57Shane Gillis:You fucking, you had your share of, come on, you know, just poking, poking from the poking.
1:16:05Lemaire Lee:You're a poker. You got little brother syndrome. Admit that you're a poker. You got a lot of little brother in you. You poke first, then you get poked, and you go, Mom!
1:16:17Shane Gillis:Sometimes I poke first. Sometimes you poke first. Admit it. Sometimes you sit on my head in the living room. Just right away. Yeah. I'll tell you a huge moment. Huge moment for us. This is a huge positive. Huge positive moment. This year, when we got a little tense on my birthday, as we did last year on my birthday, you said to me, you go, you get a little sensitive around your birthday, don't you? And I was like, yeah, I do. I get very depressed.
1:16:47Matt McCusker:Oh, you got way too sensitive.
1:16:48Shane Gillis:That was a huge moment for me. You let Voss man get in your head.
1:16:52Matt McCusker:Listen. Voss man was in there, dude.
1:16:55Shane Gillis:Voss man in my head and me wanting to say, Voss, shut the fuck up. That's two different things. Voss is like a cheese grater after a while. And you're like, bro, shut up, dude. Yeah, but it's so funny. He doesn't say anything mean. No. No. You're just like, Voss, shut up. Shut up. He's just having fun. He's talking about Israel for 25 minutes. That's obviously.
1:17:19Matt McCusker:For some reason with him, I don't care. When he's like, you see what they're doing now? They keep hiding under the schools. Yeah, all right.
1:17:27Shane Gillis:This is Voss. This is what he did when we were in Yellow Springs. We went to this comic book, the comic store where I bought that Boba Fett comic book. Yeah. When I first saw it, I was in the store with Voss earlier that day. And he comes up to me and he goes, he goes, the number one Superman, the first one, I go the action comics number one where he's like holding the car over his head. And he's like, yeah, he goes, that's worth money, right? And I go, yeah, it's considerable money. And he goes, I have it. And I go, you have action. You don't have it. And he goes, no, no, no, I swear to God. He goes, I have it for when I was like my dad gave it to me from whatever.
1:18:07Shane Gillis:And he's like, I have it. He goes, and I knew it was probably worth something. Like, so I kept it in decent shape. But like, I don't know. I just never sold it. Do you think it's worth anything? And I go, yeah, it's probably worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. And he goes, psych.
1:18:23Lemaire Lee:He just never had you.
1:18:25Shane Gillis:And I go, I don't give a shit if you don't have a valuable thing. Like, what is the joke? I don't even understand what the joke is. Voss man, baby.
1:18:35Matt McCusker:Voss is in your head. That's an example, though, of what he'll do all day. And you're like, Voss, shut up. I love it. I love it. I'm bringing him to Vegas. You're not getting one weekend without the Voss man. You're not getting one without Voss. Let's go, dude. The Voss man's on your ass. The Voss man cometh. Voss dominates, Droz. Yeah. Because Voss is also bulletproof. Yeah. He's bulletproof? Yeah, you can make fun of him all day. Yeah. Nothing. In one ear, out the other. Just every insult. He just laughs with you.
1:19:11Lemaire Lee:I love the Voss man. I love the Voss. We'll get you.
1:19:15Shane Gillis:But you know you're wasting the slot in Vegas.
1:19:18Matt McCusker:With a Soberman?
1:19:19Shane Gillis:You need to plug a degenerate into that. No, no.
1:19:23Matt McCusker:I've got a nice thing going on the road. One degenerate, one Soberman.
1:19:27Shane Gillis:All right, fair enough.
1:19:28Lemaire Lee:Yeah, I noticed.
1:19:28Matt McCusker:Took Tommy and Bobby Kelly. Yeah, I saw. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:19:30Lemaire Lee:I saw you bringing a Sobe in. You bring the Sobes in. And Jay's only going to have three beers. Jay's going to bed at 10 p.m.

1:23:56Lemaire Lee:Cut that out. Nope. Cut that out. Because we got a problem. It's funny to sing. Ooh, that's going to come back to haunt you. It's funny to sing. It's funny to sing.
1:24:08Shane Gillis:When you're drunk, it seems very funny.
1:24:10Joe Derosa:I love singing when I get drunk. Me and the boys, we hit a quartet. What do you guys sing? We fucking, and if I ever. No, it's Fall in Love by, I can't remember, Shay. I think it's about him. Hit some CCR. Can you sing? Some folks bomb. Yeah. Can you sing If I Ever Fall In Love With You?
1:24:28Matt McCusker:Which one is that? The one you were just saying you sang? Oh.
1:24:32Joe Derosa:And if. That's Casey and JoJo though, right? Okay. Yeah. Well, I'm not sure who it is. Oh, yeah.
1:24:36Matt McCusker:Can you sing it? Can you sing it as literally as hard as you can?
1:24:40Joe Derosa:No, if I'm drunk.
1:24:41Matt McCusker:No, but like right now, can you sing? I can't. It's a fun game to play. You try to make your boys actually sing?
1:24:47Shane Gillis:Yeah. That's why I have committed to the We've Got a Problem Show. I know.
1:24:51Matt McCusker:I would have liked to hear you really sing.
1:24:53Shane Gillis:Don't cut that out, but cut out what I said. Cut that out.
1:24:58Matt McCusker:Keep them all in. Although that's funny.
1:25:02Shane Gillis:It's a dumb thing you do with your friend when you're drunk, and it's funny to you guys.
1:25:06Matt McCusker:It is funny, and I'm excited to sing it with you.
1:25:08Shane Gillis:Yeah. I bet you have a good time singing it with us.
1:25:12Matt McCusker:Probably will. Yeah.
1:25:14Shane Gillis:Ten beers will change that attitude.
1:25:17Matt McCusker:Usually in a pretty jolly mood.
1:25:20Shane Gillis:god damn drinking is fun why does it never get old why does it never get old are you sure it gets so old like you said one two days off and you're like um day three comes around i go
1:25:35Matt McCusker:i'm gonna have a couple yeah i'm gonna take it easy tonight but my point is this like like uh
1:25:40Shane Gillis:Like with mushrooms, for instance, right? I had a bad trip over COVID, and I was like, that's it. I'm never taking mushrooms ever again. People do that with alcohol that are not alcoholics. I don't get why, no matter how bad of a hangover I've ever had, it never sticks like, no, don't do this anymore.
1:26:01Matt McCusker:Yeah, there's hangovers you wake up and go, all right, fucking I'm done. Yeah. I'm not going to drink for two weeks. Yeah. Fucking Wednesday. That's what I'm saying.
1:26:12Lemaire Lee:Guess who just got back today?
1:26:16Shane Gillis:You know what I think the difference is? You know what I think the difference is? I think it's easier to quit a drug because a drug, the bad part happens during. With booze, the bad part happens after. And that's why it's always so hard to remember that part. In other words, if I drank. I also think alcohol is extremely addictive. Sure. That might be it, too. But if I drank and I started having panic attacks while I was drinking, I'd be like, I'm not doing it. I would be terrified. You know what I mean? Like you would a bad acid trip or something. But the bad part of alcohol is just you feel like hell the next day sometimes.
1:26:55Lemaire Lee:I watched a good PBS doc on Prohibition.
1:26:58Matt McCusker:Yeah? It's pretty good. What did he say? The thing I never really thought of was women were really leading the Prohibition movement. They were like, we need to make alcohol illegal because our... No, but that's what I always thought. I always thought, ugh, just ruining a fucking good time. Turns out there's no laws back then about beating the fuck out of your family or raping your wife. Okay. So these guys would come home. No, there's no laws, dude.
1:27:25Lemaire Lee:These guys would come home and just whoop their family's ass. They'd start taking the booze away and make the guys less angry? I think so, dude.
1:27:33Shane Gillis:The beatings uptakes after the booze was taken away.
1:27:36Lemaire Lee:No, these guys were coming home. Dude, they drank back then. Yeah, yeah. Dude, they had a hard day.
1:27:44Joe Derosa:The food's cold. And also, you're blacked out.
1:27:48Shane Gillis:And you're working in a fucking factory. I mean, it's, you know, jobs sucked back then. Your kids are shit. I'm not justifying what they did. Sounds like it. It's a powder keg is what I'm saying. I'm justifying it.
1:28:00Joe Derosa:You're justifying it? The kids are shit. the wife doesn't fucking do her shit you want to hit him you know you're blacked out to the moon remember Goodfellas
1:28:14Shane Gillis:remember Goodfellas when his dad beats him up real bad because he hasn't been going to school for months like imagine the rage you would have felt if you immigrated here from Ireland or Italy or wherever because you wanted to have a better life for your family and then you have a kid here all you sacrifice for him and then your kid turns out to be a punk i can't imagine the fucking rage you would feel about that you know what i mean like it's it's beyond disappointment yeah you know it's beyond you're like i sacrificed literally everything to try to build this for you guys and you don't appreciate it like you know those that's why those guys i think drag so much i'm not saying it's the only reason but it's a hell of a it's a hell of a reason yeah you know but you little punk when i was your age i had four jobs yeah yeah but fucking i mean man i wonder what it was like to get cocked in a bar like i mean there must have been fights every night and yeah yeah they're talking about how the bars were back then and it was what'd
1:29:15Matt McCusker:they say it was just it was brutal yeah it was everything you think just guys getting stabbed yeah and the the amount like america drank more than every country on earth like immediately Like, just immediately. Because it was all fucking immigrants from my, like, poor immigrants. They were just obliterated. And other, like, people were like, this is going to ruin this country. Yeah.
1:29:37Shane Gillis:We took right off.
1:29:39Matt McCusker:Yeah.
1:29:40Shane Gillis:We took right off.
1:29:41Matt McCusker:It's good. You should check it out. Prohibition on PBS. Is it Ken Burns? It's Ken Burns adjacent, if it's not Ken. Is it Barry Burns?
1:29:50Lemaire Lee:The brother of Ken? This mysterious. This mysterious Ken Burns brother? When was Prohibition? The 30s? Right? Or was it the 20s? It was the... Fuck. It had to be right before. It would have been the 20s? It's Al Capone time. Yeah. So like late 20s maybe? 20s, 30s. Yeah.
1:30:14Matt McCusker:Okay.
1:30:15Shane Gillis:Damn, dude.
1:30:16Matt McCusker:It is.
1:30:17Shane Gillis:I didn't know it was that long.
1:30:19Matt McCusker:but it just immediately led to gangsters and it's pretty cool it's a cool time there's this bar with the roaring 20s and then into the great depression they had to fucking let the booze out during the depression they were like all right fucking and by the way dude the depression was detox how fun would it have been to get fucked up in the roaring 20s because you had to drink it
1:30:40Shane Gillis:like little speakeasies and secret places you would have been fun oh yeah it would have been
1:30:44Lemaire Lee:like high school yeah chicks got out of the woods i went to this one place in worcester it's like a
1:30:50Joe Derosa:pirate tavern it's like a fire bar but under it they had the babe ruth uh they had a prohibition like what is it speakeasy yeah it was speakeasy but there was like a it was connected to the water where they would like send bottles of alcohol there and they would just pick them up for like babe ruth and like athletes and stuff that's cool yeah the um i like that little man i feel like it's
1:31:11Shane Gillis:the fuck i feel like it was like i feel like speakeasies like prohibition i feel like it was like prostitution where like there's a goddamn massage parlor every three feet you know what's going on in a lot of these places it's like the cops never raid them they just operate yeah i feel like that's how prohibition was yeah the term bootlegger came from uh just guys who would sell
1:31:33Matt McCusker:booze on the street they would just keep like in their socks or their pants they would have a bottle and you just go up and take a swig and then put it back in. They call them bootleggers.
1:31:43Shane Gillis:Now I get it.
1:31:44Matt McCusker:What do you think about that, fellas? Interesting stuff.
1:31:47Shane Gillis:My coffee thing flew over there. Sorry.
