This is just a test, right? No! We're here! Oh, welcome! Can we please make sure this recording? Yes, it's got it! Welcome! Please? Yeah, it's Junior Versity! I'm cute!

Think of Junior Versity! Junior Adversity! Because I think we have a lot to... No seriously, can you make sure I'm serious? I'm serious too! It's going! I don't think it was going last time! No, but this time it's red! I hate this so much! Hey, welcome! I hate to tell things about you! Welcome to the Junior Varsity What Say You Edition podcast! So this is the What Say You Edition of Junior Varsity! Yeah! Nice to meet you! Hi, nice to meet you! This is the third attempt we've made at this the last couple times.

We fucked up. We had some mistakes in the last few times. People have been asking about why you have not put out another podcast and the answer is we've tried so hard. I think what's the funny thing is that we had one that didn't work for technical difficulties and one that didn't work for creative difficulties. It wasn't good. But we're kind of new at this. We're still figuring out. That one that we couldn't put out because of the technical difficulties was so good.

I don't think we'll ever achieve that level again. We don't even have the lost tapes. It doesn't exist because there's no tape anymore. It's just a computer. I don't know why you thought it was that good. I just felt like we had a good flow and we actually made it past 20 minutes. Yeah, that's true. There's a big stepping point for us. That's true, that's true. So we have a lot of stuff on the docket. So I usually call out Q and Sal are not here. We are the Junior Varsity and we are, you know, filling in for them when they can't do it. But they probably can do it.

But I think they wanted us because we have a big thing to discuss. Right. March madness. No, nope. I don't care about your bracket. No, weather is all right. The weather's bad today. It's been up and down. Well, it's nice on the inside. I want to talk to you about this text. Text business. Oh, what are you talking about? Oh, you said, oh, as in you knew, but then you said, what are you talking about? Because you're playing it dumb. Let's just talk about it some other time. We're going to get into this. We're going to get to it. I'm sure. What else is new?

First of all, we're coming to you live from my apartment, which is, well, actually, technically, it's, it's Lisa. Everyone, all my friends called Lisa's apartment. Lisa's apartment that Casey lives in, which is my fiancee soon to be wife. Yeah, that's happening soon. You know, but we're in her apartment. All, of course, all my friends call it Lisa's apartment because originally, I, I mean, I moved in with her. It's one of those things. Yeah, when you go to buzz and it says Lisa, Lisa. I'm like, you want to say, like, climate is it okay? Yeah, I would. How about the address? Everyone knows her. I mean, most people know her last name. It's not

like she's a mystery person. Lisa, okay. Like that. She's under the dating some celebrity that can't be. I don't know who lives next door to us is Reggie W. Reggie W. That's right. Our Watts. Our Watts. Yeah, my neighbor is actually a Reggie Watts. Yeah, just don't say the address. I think we're good. So I can say that we're on the corner of drinks in North Forth, but she's not the. Wow. That's a walk that that's messed up, man. Oh, really? I mean, I, yes, I put your, I put your full address, full address phone number.

On a website and then told you to look at it. But I promised, like, my revenge was like getting back at your dad and I could do it with you. Say a minute. Wait, what?

That's yeah, I mean, we got to be careful with privacy stuff. We do. Yeah, I'm glad that you put a fake address. Thank you. That's nice of you. But yeah, we have a lot to discuss. I figured, thank you for coming over to my place too. It's cool. I'm glad to be here. I like to get out of the house. Yeah, you're, you're on a tear right now, huh?

Yeah, three weeks off, baby. Three weeks. He is three weeks. I'll have two weeks off. And then here's the difference as Joe writes for a newer show that the guys are coming out with that they're developing now called Joker's Wild. Yeah, previously called after party. Right. And I work for impractical jokers. And so, you know, I'm practical jokers is a little heavier as far as some of the work, although that I shouldn't say that because the Joker's wild has you've had a lot of legwork because it's the beginning of a show. Well, it's just you know, you've got a well oil machine at this point. We're. Thank you.

Yeah, it's awesome. It's I fucking think it's going to be great. It's just a lot of challenges. And especially for me, this is my first time working on something from the ground up. Yeah, last time, which is my first time working on something at all. Now you're ready to go. Yeah. Yeah, well, the difference is jokers has we have, you know, it's a hidden camera show. So like, you know, anytime we do just one shoot, it's only going to be like one bit, you know, so we'll have like an all day shoot. And sometimes like like with jokers, wow, it's going to be like a studio show and not to reveal too much about it. But it's going to be

a studio show where you film one day and you pretty much have an entire episode. Yeah, we have to have it all planned beforehand. And somewhat rehearsed. You know, I want to keep it loose. But all right. And you have remote segments, which take up other days. Yeah. But that's, you know, that's your really funny stuff. We had to rent a pony last week for one of the one of the segments. And we had a pony inside a house. Wow. Where do you rent a pony? Oh, well, the pony was easy. You rent. Yeah, I guess you're right. It's like a point about a rent a pony. People were very surprised about the size of the pony. They expected it to be like a small.

Honey horse. It's not just a, it's a pony. It's its own breed. They should know what's the size. It's like a, it's like a small horse, but it's not like a small horse. It's not like a child would look like an older cowboy riding on it. It's like that. If that image makes any sound. I think it did. I think it actually helps people picture a pony. They picture something that's a size of a large dog. Perhaps. But in reality, a pony somewhere between a large dog and a horse. It's like. Okay. I don't know.

Large doggy talking like a lab. Are you talking like one of the Danes? Great dance. Yeah. I keep leading up and now that's okay. But, uh, well, to continue your tear because I, well, I mean, it's like, yeah, you have the three weeks off, but you've also been boozing a lot. No, you know, I'm now. No, no, no, no. Hold up now. I'm getting a bad rap on this. Is it rapper rap? I don't know. I, I always say that's your rap. It's your reputation, but also reputation, but you know the rap sheet, right? I'm getting the bad rap. Why do they call it a rap sheet?

It's a hip-hop. Right. Because hip-hop star. So instead of sheet music, they have rap sheet music. Yes, rap sheet music. That's a great. That's a good point. Yeah. I'm full. No, you know, uh, so you've been on a tear lily. We've been boozing. And so I just to start this podcast off. It's, uh, it's 2 p.m. And I'd like to cheers. We're drinking Irish coffees. I asked for coffee and you're like, oh, let's put something in it. Okay. So it's my. So I mean, I'm just saying I didn't show up. I just rolled the punches, bro. It's to celebrate our like little break.

Our spring break. That's what it is. Spring break. Spring awakening. So you've been, what I meant is you've been on a tear because it's because of some of your behavior. That's been happening when you're drunk. What is that supposed to mean? Well, you sent a text. What are you talking about to other beyond that? What other behavior? Um, let me think. I mean over the years, over the years of knowing it. All right. Let's set this up. So when Joe gets drunk or when, when me and Joe and our friend Pat get drunk,

we have a, we, we have these alter egos that we sort of talk about. And it's because it's like a, everybody has a name that like, you know, could have been your name. Go ahead and ask your parents. What were you almost named? And chances are they've had a couple options prior. Yeah. But there's usually always like heaven or one choice. Yeah. There's always one that floats at the top that's like a joy or something like that. And me, Pat and Joe, Pat is another friend of ours. A drummer of last final. Yes. He's a drummer of the last final hopes does the opening song. He plays the drums on it, which is amazing drummer. But we all have

these names that were almost names. Okay. I'll go through. I'll do paths first. For instance, Pat, his parents were going to name him Pierce. Yeah. So when packets drunk, we're always like, whoa, Pierce is out. Pierce isn't there. Watch out. And it's so funny. Cause if you know him, like, and Pierce is like a buttoned up name. Right. But he's like, he's like a secret agent, like a, like a destructive secret agent. He's a, he's pretty, you know, he's a relaxed metal guy. But discipline has his ducks in a row. Yeah. I think. Yeah. He's like a guy who goes climbing. Yeah. He'll like make gourmet coffee. We can really count.

Yeah. He's a good guy too. You'll pick you up at the airport. Yeah. But then when he gets drunk, Pierce comes out and he'll break broken. Yeah. He wants through a boot. From off his shoe, he took a boot off and threw it into the ceiling fan in his own kitchen. This is his house. Right. And it like spun around and snatched into this thing that said, like, bless his home or something about his kitchen. It's probably like cows. Like the guy says cows. And the glass shattered everywhere. And you cleaned it up and no one spoke about it. Well, there didn't notice it. Just, you know, yeah. It was just.

Same home sweet home thing, which is missing glass. Oh, we should mention also the pat is is like our one of like if, if let's say like our crew, because we had like a tight knit crew at our high school far off, just like the jokers did. And the jokers are obviously the tenderloins. We had a crew and Pat was one of them. Right. The name of that crew was the trophy. Laugh. The trophy. Laugh gang, which is a ridiculous name. I love it. That trophy. Laugh. Because of a picture that Joe's mom titled trophy. Laugh. It's the four of us in my bedroom after sleep over.

Good start. We're the most embarrassing. It's not embarrassing. It was so cool. We used to also call ourselves the cool kids, which is so embarrassing. I know. But those sleepovers were just like a ruse to like so that when we were all drunk, we could all like again with the drink. I'm not a lush. We're pretty bad. Yeah. So, all right. So Joe. So we got Pierce, Pat is Pierce. And you got Joe. Do you want to say it? Oh, oh, so yeah. I asked around. No, your mom. What's your mom? What was the name? Yeah. It's what I'm saying. Okay. Um,

you know, I heard it around. It sounded like you like asked the neighborhood. You grew up in Ukraine. And you're like, I asked the village. But what I mean is, you know, I got a little jealous because both you and Pat had these cool names. We'll get to yours in a second. And, uh, and I was like, uh, ma, talk to me here. What was my name almost? Cause I'm Joe Joseph named after my father. And, uh, here, you moved your hand when you did that was like holding wine. You're like, no, no, no. I was like, it was like, you got a sword and like you put it into yourself. Like, I am Joe's son.
