Eric Readinger 1:05
Oh, I didn't know we're doing that. We can call it some different every time running on in Salin on insulin, yeah,
Law Smith 1:15
nice. I tried to write some out yesterday. They were all terrible.
Eric Readinger 1:18
Well, okay, like the name was your idea so, well,
Law Smith 1:23
I didn't. I know you're not the biggest fan of it, so I was trying to make it playful, but I couldn't. My brain couldn't even think of something like kind of witty to put together, you know, yeah, well, again, that's on you. Hey, before I forget may 16, 17th st, Pete Beach, I'm headlining the Sunshine City Comedy Club. That's safety Beach, may 16, 17th. Out Sunshine City Comedy Club, headlining out. I'm sorry, but I'm trying. I'm trying my last I'm trying my bad. You expect me to believe that you're not. And then Clearwater Beach at the end of May Memorial weekend, I'm at the Clearwater Comedy Club headlining out there for the weekend. So get your airbrush t shirt, get your get your
Speaker 2 2:11
goofy get your jean shorts. Jean shorts. Cut them off high. Get
Law Smith 2:16
your zinc sunscreen on your nose, and walk on up, because it's right in the middle of all that fan that, like, that beach, beach store stuff. Yes,
Eric Readinger 2:27
you are at the beach officially, when you're there, yeah,
Law Smith 2:31
like, Panama City's got that covered, like they have mega stores of those, you know, Daytona,
Eric Readinger 2:35
all the major anything, white trash. That's what we're looking for.
Law Smith 2:39
Clear Water. Surprisingly, doesn't have as many anymore, which I find funny. Maybe the Scientologists got in there. Yeah, scientists do that. Scientists do do that.
Speaker 2 2:49
Can we just talk about your outfit today? What outfit?
Law Smith 2:54
The lack thereof? Well, why don't you describe it for the you're wearing
Eric Readinger 2:57
nothing but a diaper that looks like, first off, American flag. Yes,
Law Smith 3:02
it's not a diaper. I purposely pulled the pant legs up a little. You expect me
Eric Readinger 3:08
to believe that? I don't think I was gonna use that one that much, but it's coming in handy, dude. I
Law Smith 3:13
was on the Jolly Roger in Raymond James Stadium today, the pirate ship, and it was to myself going, Holy guacamole,
Unknown Speaker 3:22
holy moly. Yeah,
Law Smith 3:23
I was just doing that by myself like a weirdo. So I did the two bears 515 K or two bears, 5k whatever it is. After the podcast with Burt kreischer and Tom Segura and Jelly Roll was the other big celebrity involved in this whole thing. I bumped into him on the way out, on accident. Oh yeah, you go down as I was texting you, I said, I'm leaving Ray J right now. Holy shit. It's Joe. Like, right after that. Like, Oops, my bad. And there's a whole crowd I didn't even see around him on the other side of him. It was, it was bizarre. And so it was like, Okay, well, I guess they're they did the celebrity race way later. Their 5k way later. Like to wear everybody down, and it didn't start on time. That's what I was like, I'm out of here, dude. And right before that, I ran into Bert, and he did, like, a double take, because I haven't seen him in a while, and I'm wearing basically your diaper Gucci shorts. These are two and a half inch inseam. Inch inseam. It's
Eric Readinger 4:28
really hard to find those. Really hard.
Law Smith 4:30
You know, I'm an American, and these actually help me today.
Speaker 2 4:35
Oh yeah, I'm sure. So that's what the runners wear. So I
Law Smith 4:40
decided to walk over to the stadium for my 9am heat. I get there like 845 get the bib or whatever, and you walk into Raymond James Stadium, home of the Buccaneers, where I walk in Holy guacamole, and I'm like, I couldn't tell if the race started as soon as I got. Through the gate. Okay, there we can start. This is really, like, I know, like, Spartan Race, that brand had something to do with this 5k but, oh,
Eric Readinger 5:08
you were afraid. You didn't read the email all the way, and they were like, right, soon as you go in, you better start running. Right, right.
Law Smith 5:13
No. Well, there's like, arrows, cone arrows on cones. I'm supposed to be the first wave. I know that I signed up for the first, earliest, whatever, but there's already people running. And I'm
Speaker 2 5:23
like, What the fuck is going on? Oh, those people warming up for the 5k No, no. They
Law Smith 5:28
just did it. They just let them do it ahead before the first wave. And I was like,
Speaker 1 5:31
the fuck. Oh, those don't count. Those times don't count. So
Law Smith 5:35
I'm thinking, I'm late, right? I'm late and I'm scared, and I don't know where I am, right? I know the stadium like the back of my hand, but I don't know where. I mean, I've gotten to a lot of football games there. It's, I know the ins and outs of Raymond James. I used to sell monster truck necklaces, humble brag. Yeah, back in the day, that's the that was one of the shittiest shops I've ever had in my life. Well, sure, that's just dealing with the worst dude. I'm like 15 selling those, like, Blinky necklaces with Grave Digger on it. Yeah, Grave Digger rocking by Derrick. We this is 20, what? 25 years ago, maybe, or whatever. Yeah, 25 years ago. So this is, like, going up and down, selling these things. And it's like, I know, selling this at $17 a piece. The guy who's buying them can't afford this for the fam, but he's doing it anyway. And you want to be like, buddy, I'm no, see, I'm not a financial
Speaker 2 6:31
planner, but you sure about that, buying that, but this thing,
Law Smith 6:36
see, this thing costs one cent from China, pre tariff,
Unknown Speaker 6:40
you know, up to two cents, right?
Law Smith 6:42
And so thanks, Trump. I wanted to be like, Dude, don't buy these. Please, please don't. And now, if, knowing what I know now, if I went back, I'd just probably give them to them. Oh yeah, because there's no, there's no accountability on that drive either they're not all cash. Yeah, there's no cards back in the day that you had to swipe, or any of that. There's other
Eric Readinger 7:00
15 year olds being like, that's the best job I ever job I ever had. I fucking just stole all the money.
Law Smith 7:05
Well, I told you my tip for going to games in high school when I used to get really fucked up. And I still do it now. I sneak in a bottle of booze in a in a floppy flask right in front of my my dick area, right? Because they, they don't check the TSA security doesn't check it, you know, yes. And if you have a big thighs and not packing a lot of heat downstairs, you got some room in the trousers, right? You got a perfect mule. So you get $11 bottle of rum in high school. And then I would go to each each corner of the stadium had a designated driver thing, and if you signed up for it, you got a free coke. So then I get the coke for free, $11 a day. Real cheap, cheap move. But yeah, that's pretty good. I still do it now because they stopped selling booze in the fourth quarter. Oh yeah, and that's what your excuse is
Unknown Speaker 7:59
going to be next time. But that's such
Law Smith 8:00
a bummer, especially if it goes to overtime.
Eric Readinger 8:03
Yeah, and then you just getting people getting real grumpy, and
Law Smith 8:06
Dude, you're talking a September game out there, people liquored up, or you're out on the shade side, it is fucking remember we went to that Arizona Cardinals game, and it was like late October, and it was still frying us, I guess so do
Speaker 2 8:22
we? You don't remember that, like five years ago, probably, I believe you, I just don't remember with our friend, golden shower. Yes, I remember now, yeah, yes,
Law Smith 8:33
that is, that's gonna be funny for anybody listening.
Eric Readinger 8:35
Yeah, that I feel like you should explain. No. Okay. Anyways, last
Law Smith 8:40
name's golden. Take us back to the 5k so the 5k walk in and you're kind of like, Ah, shit. You feel like you're late for a flight. Kind of feeling like, Ah, shit.
Speaker 2 8:49
I gotta. I gotta. I've never been late for a flight. Though. You ever have your alarm
Law Smith 8:52
not go off for a flight, you kind of what I can remember, you have a flight, you plan it out, whatever, an hour and a half before the flight. We're we live in a city where we can kind of get to the airport quickly and get through 15 minutes, yeah, but I'm saying, You ever have that thing where you didn't set your alarm, but you wake up anyway, because you have the flight, your body knows it, you wake up like, like, that kind of like, yeah, yeah. And then you're, you're doing that thing where you're trying to hurry up and put everything away, but you're not doing it any faster than if you just slowed down and did it slow smooth and smooth as fast that that that is old man wisdom. And so I got that feeling right? So get up there and I'm put, I putting on my bib while the first heat's going my heat, and there's probably 300 people there next to the pirate ship in the stadium, and or no, no opposite side, sorry. And the really matter, it does the MC there's a guy in a microphone like, trying to get people fired up. And he's like, We need someone to. Lead this group out. And he's like, how about this Captain America guy? And I didn't hear him at first, but, you know, like, then he's like, Come on, let's get this Captain America. He's pointing at me, I don't know, because I'm trying to get the safety pin with my sweaty I
Speaker 2 10:15
would have looked right past you also not him. I was like, Oh, me,
Law Smith 10:20
right. And so he's like, we're gonna get this guy to lead us all. And then puts me up in the front, in front of everybody at the starting line, right? And it puts me on Mike. And I'm like, fuck, I'm not. I'm not. I'm like, barely awake kind of thing. I'm hungover, I'm tired, I don't I'm scared, right?
Eric Readinger 10:39
The outfit doesn't match the actual aura.
Law Smith 10:41
Well, wait a minute, I'm all American. Okay, leave. But
Eric Readinger 10:46
I mean the aura of you look like a party animal rolling in there, like that. I do. I look like you got the energy right when you don't.
Law Smith 10:53
And I brought it so. So he kept trying to, like, be funny, and I kept like, like, one upping him. I can't remember everything I said. But eventually he was like, how are we going to lead this? And I go, we're going to get a USA chant going. I was like, I got in a frat mindset. I go, what's the frattiest thing I can think of? Yeah. And I go, we're going to get a USA I wanted a game, an Avengers assembled, because he kept calling me Captain America. But that's a little too specific from right, from in game, plus I need to, I need you as Thor to go get everybody going. But I got a USA chant going, and then we went off, and I sprinted as fast as I could
Eric Readinger 11:36
I was gonna say, yet put a lot of pressure on you to immediately get passed by the 95 year
Law Smith 11:41
old. The pressure was on, and I booked it. And I go, all right, I'm gonna, I am gonna get to the other side of the stadium, and then I'm gonna start walking. I'm gonna walk the river. I'm gonna clear this corner exactly I was gonna if I'm
Eric Readinger 11:55
in your spot, I'm saying, When am I out of visibility, right? When do they lose line of sight, then I'm different, man. And I
Law Smith 12:02
don't care if any of these strangers give me any shit or anything, but everyone was awesome, really, like, fired up as they're you, you go up the fucking big,
Eric Readinger 12:13
oh, they made you go up, up and, oh, that's kind of rough. It was really rough. That's pretty rough, almost barfed. That's like you can really train for in Tampa, at least.
Law Smith 12:23
What are those called, the big circular walkways in a stadium? Yeah? Whatever. About eight floors? Yeah,
Eric Readinger 12:28
they're giant circular walkways
Law Smith 12:31
and going down rules. You wish you had roller blades to the fucking zoom Yeah. I wish I had healies for the first time in my life. I mean,
Eric Readinger 12:39
unless you're, like, going into a parking garage and running up and down that you can't really train for it. So that's remember what
Law Smith 12:48
I used to live in that building downtown. Yeah, I would be a psycho and go up and down the garage. My man thought that it's pretty psycho, yeah, because no one else was doing it. It wasn't like, workout thing in there.
Eric Readinger 13:00
I mean, when you're talking about all the people being awesome, it's it is a everyone's in a good mood, two, two beers, one, cave, 5k, so it's like, yeah, the people who are signing up for this are like minded. So
Law Smith 13:13
many Bert and Tom look alike, people, fat guys with beards, all over like, for the first hours there is, like, is that Bert? Is that Tom? Really couldn't tell. Hired a bunch of doubles. Tom is skinny dude. Tom looks like really good shape now. So Bert, I love the man, but God damn dude, he's got that hard gut. Oh yeah, dude. I saw him from the side, and I was like, Oh brother, it's all back. Yeah.
Eric Readinger 13:43
I mean, why? Why are you surprised, though? Because he lost it, like he
Law Smith 13:48
lost a bunch of weight, and then it's already back to normal. Yeah, I'll come back to him, because he was one of the last people I saw before I left. So booked it through was walk, like had to walk. There's other guys in tiny shorts, like high fiving me as we're passing each other, all right. And it was cool to go through the stadium. Kind of people who walk in a designated kind of fun run or whatever, even if it's a 5k get to the right.
Eric Readinger 14:22
Oh, there's walking in the middle. People at
Law Smith 14:25
the airport, yeah, yeah, people on sidewalks in general, yeah, that spread their whole people across. There's four people across taking the whole sidewalk. You're like, I'm noxious. You guys walk slow as fuck. Can I now I have to walk in the grass around you like an asshole, like I'm autistic on the
Unknown Speaker 14:41
spectrum. Gotta get to my
Law Smith 14:44
appointment. There's a shit ton of photographers, and every time I saw one, I'd try to flex as hard as I could. Yeah. What else I ran in 25 minutes, which was pretty good, a lot better than what I was trained at, was like, struggling to get 38 Some days. I mean, last couple weeks, by the way, adrenaline. Remember, I was at my fast that not long ago, 225, down to 2050, they're down. And that's about six weeks since I was telling you about that. Okay,
Speaker 2 15:14
pretty good. Hey, come on now. Not bad.
Law Smith 15:18
So I get off. And then, because I led the thing, now, a lot of people are coming up to me afterward and be like, what's up, dude, like, your kids, American guy, oh, this is cool. This is it felt. It felt like, very, very, very minor, like, but everyone, everyone was coming up to talk to me nice
Eric Readinger 15:40
little thing for you, right? And special for a day,
Law Smith 15:44
or people that weren't in our heat, just like, like the outfit, like what I got going on, like my vibe as the kids, right? And then, let's see I'm in. I did about three different interviews with the media there that was, like, sponsored media stuff like man on the street shit. So talk to a guy that's in a light strike. They're like a Gatorade. Want to be mixed between Gatorade and liquid IV, I guess. Okay, did you drop your dad? Well, there's a guy in a big no no, no, really no, if I'm on air after my mom. You sure about that. So we did the we we filmed the special last June, and I had an opportunity to get Tampa Bay Times to write an article about us, and it was going to be about me and my dad. And it was going to be about, you know, how my grandpa was a tax collector here for forever, and like, we're very Tampa, and we have widely different kind of paths and all this stuff, but it was going to be for Father's Day. You know? It was going to be real nice. Paul Guzzo, the writer, was going to do it. My mom said no. And I was like, oh, okay, that's a big thing. We anything I do media wise, I need to separate myself, except for this show, but I need to separate myself. That's my bad. None up. Your Dad, no, no, that's fine. We brought up my dad. It's not a big deal. I'm saying I just my mom basically put a big kind of warning of, like, we need to separate these two worlds a little bit. Yeah, we don't need to make and she didn't trust journalists, which I was like, I bet, yeah. But this guy, he actually is the only guy local that in a good, the 15th biggest circulated paper in the country, that, yeah, I looked it up and like, Oh, they've won a bunch of Pulitzers and all that shit. But, but like, he, he's the only one who's written an article about me when it was the Tampa Tribune, when he was there, that was actually accurate. Everybody else makes up shit for no reason anyway, so I didn't bring up pops. But this guy's dressed as a bottle, of course, and I'm fucking now. I'm on. I'm feeling it. I'm feeling myself. I'm feeling I'm incredibly feeling good,
Eric Readinger 17:57
not feeling so stupid being dressed the way you are. I feel for the bottle guy. First
Law Smith 18:01
off, I don't know what you're talking about with what I'm dressed like. This is me. This is all you expect me to believe that show sunburn. When I go to sleep later, I'm on fumes. Now. I was like, I'm coming in hot. I got to keep this adrenaline going, because I know once I've really crashed,
Eric Readinger 18:19
yeah, once we hit the stop button, you're going to take a nap right there. On this hour, I left
Law Smith 18:23
my place at 8am and I didn't get over here till four, and basically, like, been going hard in the paint since then. So what's it called? Did it that interview? Did an interview with a sock company I think I have right here. Oh, yeah. Oh. I put it like a QB towel on my side, socks, odd socks. I had to answer some questions. Crush that kind of crowd work. They are wet. Well, they've been on the side of my hip.
Speaker 2 18:51
That's not exactly well, 2525
Law Smith 18:56
minute, 5k so do. I did a bunch of interviews like that, which is fun. Then I walk up and see that, what's the fucking game at the carnival with the ding? You hit it with the hammer. It has no name. It's like, test your strength or whatever. So I do that. My hands are sweaty at all. Smacky game all the time. Hands are sweaty all the time. Yes, and I'm like, Hey, I can't this is going to slip out of my I've had golf clubs slip out of my hands if I don't have gloves on both hands, like Mickey Mouse, right, which is what you want on the golf course
Unknown Speaker 19:29
to look like carrying around the Stanley Cup
Law Smith 19:30
to look like the gay, yeah, yeah. Like, it's a Faberge egg white glove kind of thing. And so I tried it twice, and I'm like, Look, this is slipping out. I need and some, some chicks like, here's my shirt. You can use that. And I was like, You sure? And fucking, Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 19:47
you sure about that? Turn
Law Smith 19:50
around. Friend of the program, Dean Akers, standing right there. That's fun. He's one of the guys that got there early and got it done before I even arrived. What the 5k yeah, he was one of those guys that was like, I was here early and, you know, I could see him. They said you could just do it. And I was like, and talk to him for a while. He's CEO of a facelift company. He was telling me about it. Talked to him for a long time. He's our business dad. I'm gonna grab breakfast with him. But all the people I saw today, Dave Williamson, friend of the program, former guest, Auburn graduate, comedian, Meet Dave, M, E, A, T. Dave is his because he's a master barbecue grill guy. So he would go on, he would open for bird, and then grill in the parking lot outside the bus with, like, ribs and stuff. If you remember, like, six years ago, he snuck me in the theater, just a mention of a guy, and he's emceeing. Went up to him. I saw him from the back, and I went up to him. He's emptying the whole stadium now, 7500 people, and he's in seeing trying to do his best, but it's a tough gig. And I didn't think about it. I just went up to him. I was like, up to him. I was like, what's up? And then I gave a big War eagle in the microphone, and I was like, Oh my bad dude.
Eric Readinger 21:10
Well, I mean, he might have been looking for, he didn't care for somebody to play off
Law Smith 21:14
of. He's cool as fuck. He was trying to get me into the VIP lounge. Johnny B, friend of the program been on the show. He's saying the national anthem. As I was walking out, I could hear it outside the stadium.
Speaker 2 21:25
Sounds like a weird setup they had
Law Smith 21:29
so weird. So one beer line, it was Jason Kelsey beer, called garage beer. They had a light. He was there today. He was there. I wrote a list of all the people I saw, because we'll do this for SEO purposes, for sure, but whatever, I just thought it'd be fun for us. It's more anybody outside this area doesn't care about most of these people, but you and I, for sure. So much so well. Jason Kelsey, there's former, all Pro, former Buccaneer, Ryan Jensen, Cody Mosh, the current right guard for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, current center for the bucks last year's first round pick, Grant Barton Tristan, worse, or all pro left tackle, these guys, dude, you forget how big these guys are. Yeah, they're all together talking. And I was like, right? I was, you know, four feet away from him. I'm like, Jesus Christ. I feel like, I'm, like, a boy, yeah, like, yeah, these, and they aren't even the biggest guys there. And there's other guys that
Eric Readinger 22:34
were on the Bucks team. They got Vita and Desmond Watson now, yeah, 464
Law Smith 22:40
pounder. He's three Tez Johnson's,
Eric Readinger 22:44
you know, that's a cousin of coach I work with, who Desmond Watson. He's from Plant City.
Law Smith 22:50
Does he say his name? Desmond Bucky Irving. I think was with these guys. He fit. He was five, nine guy, pretty joked black dude. I don't know if he had tiny dread, so I couldn't tell if that was him or not. I don't really know what he looks like face wise, because, you know, face masks.
Unknown Speaker 23:12
Oh, thank god you said face mask. Anyways, barstool
Law Smith 23:14
guys, we had frank the tank. I guess he's the Mets fan that cries a bunch. I don't know the whole bars through world, but I do know Kevin Clancy KFC and I talked to John feidelberg for a few minutes. He's a cool guy. Borrowed my sunscreen that I took from Dave Williamson. Mike Alta, here's the big one, buddy. Here's the one I didn't know I was running next to Noriega, N O, R, E, 1998 you should be freaking out right now. What's
Eric Readinger 23:44
funny? What was it? Dress up as my favorite 90s musical artist, and
Law Smith 23:50
it's gonna be Noriega. Wasn't gonna be Tupac, but dude, it was so funny. I was like, I didn't know it was Noriega until they did a live podcast and he's on stage with it looks like, oh shit. Well, the drink Champs is a huge podcast, and it's pretty good. And I've watched it. They get people fucked up, all these old rappers to come in as guests, and they get drunk on there. And he's a good interviewer. And I've definitely watched hours of it, and I didn't put it together any from your mom's house? Studios, you know, no big whoop, Jelly Roll. Burt kreischer and Tom segura. I talked to Lee Ann Chrysler, and I tried to give a compliment, because I'm a fan of her as a person, but I didn't know how to say it to her, and I totally diarrhea it out of my mouth. I was like, she's married. She's
Eric Readinger 24:39
married to Burt Chrysler, bro, yeah, but she's, she's used to it. She's a champ. She's but exactly that's what I'm saying. You can say whatever the fuck. Here's where I felt bad. Here's where I felt
Law Smith 24:48
bad, though, because I didn't realize, Oh yeah, she's gonna be working this whole thing. She's ad, she's doing the admin clerical shit that he's not doing, right? She's, she's, I, she's got clipboard in hand. I was just. Kind of delirious out of it. Didn't really put it all. I was like, Oh man, I definitely bothered her. But talked to Burt's parents that I kind of know a little bit for a while, and they were like, I was on the board of advisors with Burt's mom for a few years, right? And I was like, Gigi. And she was like, I'm the guy from the Zoom calls. We do. She's like, Oh my god, yeah, okay, I remember you.
Eric Readinger 25:27
It was weird that. That's the the connection you had to make for, well, I
Law Smith 25:32
reintroduced myself. They know my parents. They they see him every now and again at the country club, yes, I mean whatnot, but they don't know me from, you know, they don't remember me, okay? Plus, like, I think about it with my parents, if any of anybody that knows me, that has met my parents a long time ago, and then try to say hi, they'd have to introduce themselves, right? You know, like my dad, I could
Eric Readinger 25:56
see it like knowing my friends kids that I'm like, oh, of my best
Law Smith 26:00
guy friends. My dad probably knows three or four of them. He could probably list three or four, you know, right? He's like the one with the face the nose, you know him. But so the day was interesting. So sitting next to the guard rail, getting drinks from our former former employer, one of the partners at at the place we used to work. I won't mention their name, but okay, yeah, two of the three partners were there, okay, the one, not the one from the one that's a colts fan, was not present, but the other two were the normal one we worked with. Okay,
Unknown Speaker 26:37
not there.
Law Smith 26:39
It was not there, okay, but the other two dudes were, and they're in the VIP, and they're, they're feeding me Poros vodka drinks while I'm just kind of standing on the guardrail. And after a while doing that, because I was just kind of little little delirious. After a while, I was like, I'm just gonna fucking walk in this thing. So yeah, why
Eric Readinger 26:58
wouldn't you I dress like that. If you just walk in with a strut, nobody's gonna question you.
Law Smith 27:04
Well, I thought because I didn't have the wristband you needed to get in, which, by the way, was like $1 store. It wasn't like they always are, but this was like, I could have colored the white one they gave me with like a highlighter and been fine, right? If anybody checked, no one.
Eric Readinger 27:19
I mean, you should have a like a suitcase for these scenarios where it has that doesn't make us gay, it makes us smart. The all the different color wristbands. Got your yellow, your orange vest in there. You got a cone for parking, yeah, you know, you got a lanyard that's blank, you know that you can fill in with making it look like what's on the lanyards? Yep. And here's golden.
Law Smith 27:47
Had weird conversation. Had weird conversation with an entrepreneur that's local here, that is friends. Remember that guy Andy Signor, yeah? The Nerd Wars guy, yeah. And he's boys with him, but in a way that he was like, he's a lot this guy. I talked to him for a long time. He was friends with our former bosses, and talked to him for a while, and I was like, What are you like, 50s? Like, I'm 32 god damn bro. You are. You're burning it at both ends. But he this, he what he's gonna come on the pod. But what he was telling me was like, Dude, you were way. You were in a fan Teddy zone, of almost being an AI robot, kind of productivity, of all the things he told me he's doing 100% believe him. I was like, Do you sleep? I had to stop him and go, do you sleep? He's like, not, not really. And I was like, Do you want to work on that? Because I thought you were
Speaker 2 28:43
50, right? Getting a lot of stuff done. But
Law Smith 28:47
he what's it called? I just thought that was funny, because I was like, yeah, they used to film the podcast nerd wars in our old studio, right? And then when one of us had to be a producer, I had to tell him, Hey, bud, if we're gonna do this, just let's be official at the time. And he was such a dick that I told him, Get the fuck out. Yeah, I remember that.
Unknown Speaker 29:08
I remember the heated discussions.
Law Smith 29:10
Totally forgot about totally Captain America. Could do that, yeah. I didn't mean to cut
Eric Readinger 29:15
out the mics, but I mean, that's how it was. I specifically remember me about Captain America and Black Widow. Well, I
Law Smith 29:21
specifically remember a conversation where they go, Well, Scarlet Witch is the most powerful of all of them. If you really think about it, right, God damn, what am I doing? Yeah, for free, I'd
Speaker 2 29:31
be like, I agree with you, but stop talking loud. I'm
Law Smith 29:35
paying to do this. Essentially, I pay the rent here, and this is my time at night that I could do not this, yes, and I'm doing a favor and then getting shit for it. It was, that was a wild time. Anyway, he let us over the days, he let us hold his MTV Movie Award statue, yeah. So we were, we were smitten, maybe. But I thought that was really funny. Mike called to I think I said. And was there and ran into Bert right before I left, and he did a double take. Oh, shit. Okay. And I've you know what? I felt so bad for him, in a way of like, you know, when you at weddings, the bride and groom are so tired because they've been talking the whole time. He's so gracious with his time with everybody that I don't think he stopped the whole day kind of thing. And everyone's trying, especially he's from here, so everyone's trying to get at him old friends and all that shit. And it was like, Damn dude. And then when I was talking to him, he knew that, though, coming in for Tampa, I know, but it's still, it's a lot dude, especially when it's hot, you know, he's he's shirtless too.
Unknown Speaker 30:41
You know, he's a guy that's built for that, though, but
Law Smith 30:43
everyone's like, it's like a mini paparazzi everywhere he goes. There's like three people chirping bird at him, and then what's it called? He he was talking to me, and he was picking a booger so bad, like a nut, like two knuckles deep in his nose. And He has big fat dad fingers. You know that he was so in his nostril. I stopped. He was telling me something. I I was just staring at him, picking his nose. And I was like, Oh, I'm sorry, dude, you're you're really getting in there. And it really, like, just very distracting. It just records scratched everything for me. Yeah, it was, dude, have you ever seen a dad, hand, dad, finger, just deep in there, trying to get in a booger? I mean, not publicly. And he was like, Oh, he didn't even notice he was doing,
Unknown Speaker 31:33
I could see that. Yeah. And then just
Law Smith 31:36
this, this hero, this hero. Woman I met. She has 303,000 CC fake tits. It pulls them away to take a picture. But I met her and head of security, who apparently was, you know, out to lunch the whole day. He's a big, intimidating guy, and I were sitting around a pub table. Everyone's kind of eating in the tent. And I go, Hey, bud, what movie makes you cry? And everyone's like, What the fuck? And I was like, no, no, this is gonna be a good. This is gonna be a good. And he started listing all these movies that made him cry. And he's like, the scariest human being I've ever met my life, right?
Unknown Speaker 32:12
What was? Number one,
Law Smith 32:14
he said, Godfather first, okay,
Unknown Speaker 32:16
to
Law Smith 32:18
be fair to him, this is a weird question. It threw him off, sure, and he's married number two, Godfather two. It was a lot of war stuff. And then I was like, oh boy, this is this Irish guy who's apparently some kind of celebrity or something notable next to me, wearing jeans in an Irish soccer jersey. He's like, I asked him all these war questions, and about a couple minutes ago, I go, Fuck this, stop asking about World War Two. What other movies make you old is
Speaker 2 32:49
this guy who the guy I'm talking to, he's asking about World War Two.
Law Smith 32:53
Well, he's like, uh, he's easily, like, probably Special Ops, like, kind of looks, but huge kind of guy, right? So they started talking about World War Two and how, like, and what movies are legit about it. And I'm like, This guy's, like, our age. What I mean he probably he has more knowledge than I do. No, no doubt. But I'm saying, like, Good for him. But I'm saying, like, can we just agree Saving Private Ryan the beginning of that is pretty brutal, and I don't need to watch it again. Yeah, exactly. And I'm like Terms of Endearment beaches. What do you got? I got him to agree on Interstellar. It was a crazy day, so snuck in and then waited to get an IV. I was texting you about that, sitting there waiting for two people to get their IV done, waiting in the sun. They're sitting in the shade, getting IV and then being patient, not being a dick. I don't want to rock the boat, you know, I'm a stowaway. And then I get up to go. Once they get up, I get up. They're the poor osis distributors to husband and wife, couple that are getting the IV and talking to them for a little bit. They get up. They go, you can take our seat. When I was like, Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I'm just waiting. This hot chick scoots in, cuts me my anti super powers people cut me in line without without no ever noticing, right? And I go, Okay, there's another seat. I'll wait for this guy to finish, and then I'll go over there. So I he's like, Man, I saw that. And I was like, he's like, I would have exploded if that was you. And I was like, that a big deal. You know, I'm a pretty chill guy.
Unknown Speaker 34:34
He didn't say anything. I
Law Smith 34:36
didn't say anything because I'm just like, I'll just wait for the dude to finish. Not even, like, whoa. And I just stood up next to him like a weirdo. I go, I'm just gonna stand here so no one can get in front of me. Sit down. Once he's done. He's cool. Sit down. The IV person's like, oh, that hot chick over there. She has VIP, she's next. And I was like, God damn it. Got the last and I just go, I think that's about time. I. That's my cue. But it, all in all, is really fun. I don't know if they'll ever do another one, because it was so like, he's not this time of year, unorganized. I feel like, well, it wasn't bad in the morning. It was kind of cool in the morning, this morning, but, dude, once it once that heat hit the football field. Dude, it was like September game out there if rough, yeah, forgot to put on sunscreen. I'm definitely fucked. If, if my nose already didn't have skin cancer on it, probably, definitely now,
Speaker 2 35:31
yeah, you look very red. Well,
Law Smith 35:35
I mean, I had a lot of vodka, had a lot of pre
Eric Readinger 35:38
garage in blossom, going maybe full body hydration,
Law Smith 35:42
I chug. PD, light on the drive over here. Okay, what's new in your world?
Eric Readinger 35:50
You know, I was gonna share some things, but I think we can save it. That's enough. I
Law Smith 35:55
mean, that's it was a lot. I just thought, let's go into full detail like we used to.
Eric Readinger 36:01
Yeah, I'll tell a real quick story, because we started talking about your outfit. Tease it out, yeah, you know, over Easter Avery, my daughter, bit of an actress, right? And
Law Smith 36:15
in real life, or like, at home, what's the difference? One is like, you do, you do auditions, you know, you do rehearsal. The other one's just kind of girl stuff,
Eric Readinger 36:28
yes. So we're Yes. Francesca's house, Easter, your lady, yes. And at some point, squeeze, at some point, I didn't witness any of it, but she calls me later on, and she's like, I just had a conversation with my mom and my brother, who came to me concerned because Avery convinced her brother that at some point you and I were officially gay together. So much she convinced them that much that he went to his mom. So funny. And I'm like, everybody laughed about it, yeah, that is a hahaha. That's impossible, right?
Law Smith 37:12
That's so funny though, you
Eric Readinger 37:13
know, I was like, I mean, exactly like, walked in,
Law Smith 37:19
like, for you, these people, if you can, if you can take yourself out of it, if you're I
Eric Readinger 37:23
was like, that's a pretty good, that's hilarious, pretty good joke, pretty good prank. She's
Law Smith 37:28
funny, dude. I mean, funny in like, a really, like, yeah, she's kind of legit smart way, right?
Eric Readinger 37:35
I mean, because she did it for the after, like, she got it for the delayed gratification of it all, yeah? Like she planted that just to come back and hear it later on.
Law Smith 37:45
That's older sister boredom or opportunistic, or capitalizing on a, you know, something that she could do to her brother, yes,
Eric Readinger 37:54
except it was her dad in the scenario.
Law Smith 37:56
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So what? What did you ground her? No, anyway, grounded either kid ever? No,
Eric Readinger 38:05
yeah, I haven't really had to, like, it's not there, you know, that's not anything to get grounded over. I was like, you know, don't, don't do that. Did you go something else? But I was like, you know, I'm not even that mad. If you were that good of an actress. You convinced them fine. I mean, that's a good I'm gonna have to give her credit. That's what I'm saying. I'm like,
Law Smith 38:28
funny. Funny can wash over everything, right? You know, if it's really too funny, you can't get that mad. You're not she knows you're not a militant dad, yeah. So she knows she can get away with it,
Eric Readinger 38:39
like she knows that it has to be, like, high level funny, right? But
Law Smith 38:43
also push to the almost to the brink, pull back, right? Could have made it worse. Yes, exactly. That's so funny, dude. And I my daughter, I see her very much, a lot, like Avery in some ways, and like, she's already doing some stuff that at seven that I'm like, This is gonna be tough later, yeah, that I'm trying to break her out of already, but
Eric Readinger 39:09
you don't have them to hanging out. No, she adores Avery. I know any older girl my right, but we gotta keep them separated, Yeah, gotta keep them we didn't even get to talk about the AI, uh, background that you had made.
Law Smith 39:23
Uh, I'll do a better one. But I did, I did this. I go, I was sitting at an arcade letting my kids go play while I was at the bar. And I was like, I need to, there's stuff I need to do for the show's rebrand. And I was like, what are the things I'm missing? And I was like, Oh, the background, we got to change that. So I just had
Eric Readinger 39:43
hope. You've been watching. I'm sure you've seen the ones where, for some reason, it turns you into a female. Was my hair like Gamora, yeah? I mean, I saw them all straight up female, yeah. Anyways, go back and watch for fun. No, but
Law Smith 39:57
I thought it would be kind of silly. And if anybody's watching. Kind of might be like, What the fuck yeah, I look like a chicken. Most of them, the AI filters done. It's video leap is the editing app. I do the
Eric Readinger 40:10
one thing with the it looks like a Lego house. That's kind of a optical illusion type thing. See that one's kind of an optical illusion type thing. Yeah. Sounds like a reflection, yeah?
Law Smith 40:19
Yeah. I tried to do some I only had like 10 minutes to do it before my my lady met, met us up at the bar. So, yeah, went with her wait. Went with her to a ballet, a fundraiser for the Tampa Bay ballet. And it was so funny. I go, Yeah, I'll do that. It's out of my zone. But you know, what's the worst that can happen this weekend for me was like, remember being random. I kind of like doing some of these kind of things, like today and Friday night was a black tie event for for the Tampa Bay ballet. And I go, Yeah, yeah, I'll be your plus one. That'd be fun. And we just started dating. So it'd be like, This is a fun first couple, you know, first couple of dates kind of thing, right? And she's like, you're gonna sit next to a politician. And when we walked in, we went in the back area where everybody is setting up, like all the dancers and stuff, like the locker room and the Tampa Bay History Center, and there's a politician reading a speech with jokes on it, and couldn't help yourself, her friend wrote it. And I go, why didn't you let me? Can I help you punch it up? And I gave him notes. Didn't use any of them, but I sat next to this dude, and I go, you really think you're you're a comedian, but you're a shitty politician. Like, I was, like, he was talking shit to me, like the whole night, like, kind of whispering it just like, No, no. In a fun way. It was fun. It was like, I go, Dude, you you just walked into a gunfight with a knife. What are you doing? Alan, you're fucking You're not funny at all, and you're not good at politics. Like, I would say stuff purposely, like, done, like that constituents hate you. No, I'd be like, you're, you're politicking really bad, you know, like, right? And everybody knows it. I do something like that to him, yeah, but he got up, gave a speech. It was fine. They started doing a 30 minute ballet thing. But it started like, Hamilton,
Eric Readinger 42:20
oh, and you see the shirt that I'm wearing? Yes, yes, gamelton. It says, Hamilton sucks. Yeah, but,
Law Smith 42:27
but, you know that cadence with Hamilton that my date was like, I should she could see me from the side, look at looking at the stage. She's like, I could see the energy just go out of you. It's like, because it was like in evil city, Tampa, I
Unknown Speaker 42:47
will say that is the history. That is
Eric Readinger 42:49
one time where I have rage that I don't, I can't like I will get if I'm stuck in a performance, brother, I got up and left exactly like I'm I will get to the point tournament, and this is good, like, kids, my kids shit. Like, if it's terribly organized and I'm sitting there when I don't need to, I'm
Law Smith 43:08
like, if they make a bunch of other plays, yes, that your kids aren't in. Yeah, that noise, right? I got up and I was like, I need some nicotine gum, and walked over to public but it was like, but for me, I was like, Look, me going to this is I'm already getting life credit out of it right in my head. I'm like, the ledger is really nice on my side. So that's how my brain worked. But it was a good time. Cool,
Speaker 2 43:33
that's it All right. Cool. Let's Get out of here. Bye. Oh, boy.
Law Smith 44:01
Make it dark. I.
