00:24We are now five days away from the official airing
00:28of Spirit of Geth it. So right now we're Friday the 20th of December. Right now we are on Friday,
00:37December 20th, 2013. It's 3.17 p.m. Maybe 18 by the time we finish the sentence. And Spirit of
00:45Geth it
00:453 airs on Christmas Day itself. Oh, it just turned to 3.18. So Friday, December 20th. Wait, Griffin,
00:51let's get this right. You've dug yourself a hole here, Griffin. I love holes. Do you want to say
00:57the time? The Shia LaBeouf movie? I want you to say the full time. Never heard of it, but I
01:00like it.
01:01Okay, it's Friday. Oh, holes with Shia LaBeouf, yeah. See, I have 3.16. Did you say it late at
01:06times?
01:07Oh, now it's... All right, here I come, here I come. Hold on, I'll check it out. I'm getting 3
01:11.16 too,
01:11sorry guys. I have 3.16! Sim is going to have the definitive team. 3.16. Sim, tell us the
01:15date. I'm a journalist, guys.
01:16I'm a Verizon guy. I just went to Friday, December 20th, 2013. It's 3.17 p.m. These guys have
01:21fallen into us.
01:22Yes! Yeah, I love holes. So, we try to make our show adapt to the guests, which is why the
01:27JD episode
01:28is two and a half hours long. Yeah. And why this episode is nonsense. Yes! We're winning. And why it's
01:34all about rabbit holes. What are we doing? Spirit of Gethard 3. Spirit of Gethard. Spirit of Gethard!
01:38Can't see your face. We should take the rest of the bell. Oh, God. Did you get that? I don't
01:43know.
01:43Let's see the reenactment. Yeah. Ow! See? All right, you can do it. I was just walking in,
01:49and I was like, ow! That thing. Do it, one more. Action. I was walking. Ow! That thing.
01:55You guys have been admittedly kind of struggling to figure out the narrative of Spirit of Gethard 3.
02:03I'm going to go back. Oh, this looks really good. Chris, you got to be real enthusiastic, but like, kind
02:08of sexy, too.
02:12How did you like that bottle turning action? It was really good, but you should stay in character.
02:16Hey, I am in character. My character is me. But the character that is you during a soda commercial
02:23wouldn't be like, how'd you like that? You would be like, do you know that you like that?
02:25No, I'm just being myself on my bed with my sodas. You make everything stranger than it has to be.
02:34I like strange.
02:35You have footage. You've been cutting it together, but you can't really figure out what the special is,
02:39and we decided, what if we make this episode of Talking TCGS a pre-cap? We're going to use this
02:45episode
02:45to help contextualize the episode itself. We really fucked ourselves over with Spirit of Gethard 3,
02:50because Rob was supposed to edit Spirit of Gethard 3 all week, and then I would join him this week,
02:55and instead he edited a game goal with me, which thankfully he did, because he's an amazing editor.
02:58Let's talk about Ants Inception.
03:00All right, I'm rolling. Keith and I are about to start filming Spirit of Gethard 3.
03:03We're walking to Chris Gethard's house right now.
03:06Wow! I'm so excited! I can't wait to shoot Spirit of Gethard 3 with my friends!
03:10So Keith and I are walking over there, and he starts doing his Banana Man voice.
03:14Let's buzz Mr. Gethard's apartment! You want to take the honors?
03:18Wait, I can't talk like that.
03:19Yeah, don't talk like that.
03:20All right. Wait till Chris's.
03:22Even I hate it. I know it's bad.
03:24Does it hurt it again?
03:25Does it hurt the throat?
03:25Doesn't hurt the throat. And it makes me happy, but I know it's bad.
03:28It's just so much fun to talk like this! Wow!
03:33Hello, Mr. Gethard.
03:34Hey, Mr. Gethard.
03:36Well, you got the sourpuss on.
03:37I don't have a sourpuss. Come on.
03:38You're frowning upon our arrival.
03:40I just didn't know the cameras were going to be on.
03:42Hello, cat.
03:45That's Ramona.
03:46That's Ramona the cat.
03:49Don't be weird with the cat.
03:51Wow!
03:52Don't be weird.
03:53Don't push it. We're just getting started.
03:56Don't...
03:56It's being enthusiastic.
03:57Push it.
03:58Right, Rob?
03:59It really does feel like you are sort of vibrating in a different frequency.
04:03Wow!
04:04This is all this cool stuff!
04:05You got to do it.
04:06You got to do it.
04:07Wow!
04:08I don't know if I've ever had that before!
04:10Ooh!
04:11Just did it!
04:11Banana, banana, banana.
04:12One thing I think we got to be in agreement about is let's not...
04:15We don't need to top Spirit of Gethard 1 or 2.
04:18We don't need to force it.
04:19Well, that would be impossible.
04:21All right, but back to Spirit of Gethard 3.
04:23Let's get back to Spirit of Gethard 3.
04:25Oh, my God.
04:26Rob Malone just got his back on track.
04:27He's so good.
04:27He's just so good at what he does.
04:29Whatever it is that he's doing.
04:30Hey, we're going back on track.
04:31Oh, yeah.
04:32I like the way you said that.
04:33So, keep talking about this.
04:34We're going back to Spirit of Gethard 3.
04:36Whoa.
04:36It's got foggy.
04:37Oh, it's got foggy.
04:39That's clear or not?
04:40They're actually kind of angelic.
04:43It looks nice, yeah.
04:44You look like an angel.
04:45That adds a lot to this.
04:46If you died, but you were acting like you died in the movie, you were really dead, even
04:50though in real life you were alive, it would look like this.
04:56Now, there's the Gethardt Show promise.
04:58We're going to try something you've never seen before, and if it doesn't work, I'm misquoting
05:01it as I do every episode.
05:02If it doesn't work, it's going to be, the failure will be just as interesting as if it
05:07had worked.
05:07It'll be just as entertaining.
05:09Yeah, yeah.
05:09So, let's talk about what your ambitions for Spirit of Gethardt 3 were.
05:13Bunch of dudes sitting around, drinking soda, talking about their art.
05:17I think that's a cool thing.
05:18I like the other Spirit of Gethardts, but I think it's cool that this one stayed kind
05:22of like calm and feels like we've grown up, you know, like we've matured.
05:26So what?
05:27I feel like we still haven't gotten a clear answer of what you wanted Spirit 3 to be.
05:31Okay.
05:32A couple guys, a bunch of friends, drinking soda, talking about 2013, man, a good year.
05:38Talking TCGS.
05:39Talking TCGS, 2013.
05:42I don't like that that's already become like a subversive thing to just shout out.
05:46I know Chris showed off his entire soda collection to you guys.
05:49Yeah, but I don't care about his soda collection, to be honest.
05:52He loves soda.
05:53Soda's okay.
05:54I like drinking liquid.
05:57But here's what I ask you.
05:57There's a classic rule to the Chris Gethardt show, which is if Chris doesn't think something's
06:02good, it becomes that much funnier.
06:04Chris hates Vacation Jason.
06:05Vacation Jason becomes the people's favorite.
06:08Talking TCGS is shat upon and it's inception by Chris Gethardt.
06:13From minute one.
06:14A rip-roaring success to the surprise of all of us.
06:17Huge success.
06:18And now it's a huge success.
06:19Don't you think if we have the clip now of you saying, I don't think that soda footage
06:23is that interesting.
06:24Oh yeah.
06:24And you cut to the soda footage.
06:25It's solid gold.
06:26And it's now you're kind of turning the tables on Chris.
06:28I'll lay out some of my private soda stock on the bed for you.
06:32Not for you.
06:34For you to film.
06:35I won't tell you which ones I will give you, but there's like three or four of these
06:38vials I would give away.
06:40But I won't tell you.
06:41It has to be a guessing game.
06:44I'd rather you drink that.
06:46I'm going to ask that you only drink ones that I've already had.
06:48Boring.
06:49No, I can't let you have that.
06:51Murph gave that to me.
06:51I haven't had it yet.
06:52Murph and Diana brought that.
06:53You've never had this?
06:54I've seen this before.
06:55I've never had that flavor.
06:57See, and then you do things like that though, and then you complain.
07:01This one.
07:02No, I can't let you have that Goody Red Pop.
07:03I'm sorry.
07:04This.
07:05No, I can't.
07:06This.
07:06No, I can't.
07:07No, I can't.
07:08This.
07:08Nope.
07:09This.
07:09Nope.
07:09This.
07:10Yes.
07:10Boring.
07:11This.
07:13This.
07:14Yeah, I couldn't.
07:15Mine.
07:16Wait, hold on.
07:17But what I think is nice about the soda footage is that it shows Chris showing an obsessive
07:23passion for a thing that's kind of similar to the passion the fans feel for the show.
07:48I think I've already cut selects that are just each time you zoom in on the butt pack.
07:55Just the butt pack.
07:56Which Chris was a little bit aware.
07:57And Chris is like.
07:58He's very little hair in his butt, I must say.
07:59He's got like the Irish freckles on the top of the crest.
08:02No, but like, you know, as a hairy guy, I assume everyone has some fuzz on their butt.
08:07Maybe not women.
08:08But he's also a fair-haired gentleman.
08:10I mean, maybe the hair is a little transparent.
08:12Oh my God, I can't do this for too many hours.
08:15Oh, shoot.
08:15Even you have to admit, Banana Man is so much more annoying than Keith.
08:19And Keith's pretty annoying.
08:20But Keith's charming.
08:23Keith's charming.
08:24He's a charming guy.
08:25This is for you.
08:26A red cream.
08:28Pretty good.
08:30Ooh, ooh.
08:31That was amazing.
08:32There's a part of me that's sad, but I was oddly...
08:35Like last night was the wedding episode, the last live one of the year.
08:40And I walked away.
08:41I expected to be sadder, but I just felt very calm.
08:44I think I'm very proud of what we did there.
08:51And I think that archive will exist, like, there's like 125 hours or something like that
08:56that's going to sit online.
08:57Oh, that's a lot of soda.
08:59And people will be able to find that.
09:02Kids will keep being able to find that, you know?
09:05Yeah.
09:05That'll sit there.
09:06And I think it's a good body of work.
09:09I think you can see it.
09:11That's a lot of soda.
09:13I've been doing a lot of soda.
09:14Yeah.
09:15The sad thing, I think, is like...
09:17Which is something that I think we all felt during the actual run of the show.
09:24I think it was running its course for all of us.
09:28I think for all of us, we were starting to feel like, all right, we figured this out.
09:32For so long, it had that sense of, like, this thing is sometimes a disaster.
09:36Who are these people linking up?
09:38Like, Keith, when you started showing up to the show, you were just a guy.
09:42I remember when you joined in, how cool it was.
09:44Guys like Jersey Dave would just show up out of nowhere and start helping.
09:47Like, there was this element of newness, and I think we hit a point sometime in the past year
09:52where we really, I think, locked everything down and solidified it for what it is.
09:56And almost immediately, because I think we're all a bunch of, like, restless artist types,
10:01I think we started to feel that stagnation, even though the show was still pretty good.
10:06I think the pilot is a new shot in the arm and a new challenge that we're all excited about.
10:10But if it doesn't turn out well, if they don't go for it,
10:15then I think, even if we never do another episode,
10:18like, the wedding of the guy who likes Scream,
10:20I felt so good about that episode that I wouldn't mind if that was the end of the series, you
10:24know?
10:24But I do think it would be nice to have, like, an official goodbye, you know?
10:28But, I mean, I think we're good, right?
10:30Yeah, well, you did give us all the soda.
10:32Yeah.
10:33And we brought a gift for you.
10:36You get that?
10:37You want to get it?
10:38It's called Christmas Juice.
10:41What is Christmas Juice?
10:42Homemade Christmas Juice.
10:43Promise there's no alcohol in it?
10:45Promise there's zero alcohol in it.
10:47It's just a juice that you make?
10:48It's a spiritual juice.
10:50There's, like, fruit in it.
10:51Holiday juice.
10:54It smells, there's no piss or anything, is there?
10:57No.
10:57I mean, that legitimately has a piss smell.
10:59No.
11:00No.
11:00No piss.
11:01Promise?
11:01No human piss in there.
11:03No piss at all.
11:04It's...
11:08Christmas juice for the question mark.
11:10You know, because the special's about to move on to come into the...
11:12Christmas Juice?
11:14Christmas Juice?
11:14Christmas Juice?
11:15Christmas Juice?
11:16Christmas Juice?
11:17Christmas Juice?
11:17Christmas Juice?
11:18Yeah.
11:18James and I are two Christmas Juice.
11:19I remember having the Christmas Juice.
11:20Yeah.
11:21That's actually good.
11:22I like Christmas Juice.
11:23You gotta drink the whole thing so we can get multiple angles while you're fruiting it.
11:27You have to drink it all at once.
11:28It's better if you do.
11:29What's in that?
11:30I feel like I can taste, like, the fruit stuff, but I feel like I...
11:33So are we done?
11:33No.
11:34Yeah, there's a lot more.
11:34You gotta drink a little more?
11:40Getting all in there.
11:45I don't know if I want to have any more Christmas juice.
11:48What's in the Christmas juice?
11:49You gotta drink more?
11:50I don't want any more.
11:51It's really good.
11:52What's wrong with it?
11:53What is in the Christmas juice?
11:55What is in the Christmas juice?
11:56Bob, what is in the...
11:57What's in it?
11:58Is this some stuff to see inside your brain?
12:01You do get to see Chris act.
12:03I mean, you do get to see him act in a slightly different persona than just the heightened Chris
12:06Gethard persona.
12:07Sure, sure.
12:07People who didn't watch the last season of The Office.
12:09Yeah.
12:10Or Conspiracy Theory Gary.
12:11Sure.
12:12So we get to see a drugged out version of Chris on Christmas Juice, which we really gave him.
12:16Bob, why did you Christmas juice?
12:17Bob, what did you do?
12:19What did you do?
12:20You're coming up.
12:20You're coming up.
12:21You're coming in my brain.
12:21What are you talking about?
12:22You gotta go home.
12:23You gotta go home.
12:24I don't want to.
12:25It's gonna help you see the spirit.
12:27You guys can help you.
12:38Do you want to drink some?
12:40Not really.
12:41Maybe later.
12:41Hey, was this dickhead drank it all?
12:43It's supposed to share.
12:44We were supposed to take that together.
12:47Can you hold this?
12:47I'll flip it.
12:49I wish I had one of those Christmas juice.
12:52It's good for your career.
12:56It's fucking done.
12:58You guys stop drinking soda.
13:04Ow.
13:06Ow.
13:06Ow.
13:06It doesn't hurt your Christmas juice.
13:13Oh, that was really fun.
13:14Well, that's one thing I'm hoping for with this special.
13:16That us talking about anything and then cutting the spirit of Gethard 3.
13:20Makes it fun.
13:21With a crazy animated visual thing.
13:26Now that he's on Christmas juice, we can ask him the real deep questions.
13:30Heath, you don't have to talk like that.
13:32He's passed out.
13:33What was your favorite phone call in the Chris Gethard Show public access run of 2013?
13:41Why did you give me Christmas juice?
13:43I could just ask.
13:44I could just talk.
13:46We gave you Christmas juice because we wanted to see your deepest, darkest secrets.
13:49We knew that if you weren't under the influence of Christmas juice, you would have lied or not even.
13:53Answered us at all.
13:54I would have.
13:56I would have answered.
13:57I promise.
13:58I would have answered.
13:59Okay, so it's a nice sort of structure to then hit the cliff.
14:03Yeah.
14:03Or a lazy concept so that he doesn't need to talk so he can just be laying down on the
14:07couch.
14:07We can just film him cast out on the couch.
14:08Sure.
14:08But you're trying to make lemonade out of lemons.
14:11But the belly burrito call where he cut me off was very well timed.
14:17Hello?
14:18Yeah, who is this?
14:18Dave?
14:19Who?
14:20Dave?
14:21Dave?
14:23Oh, yeah.
14:26He'll be whoever we want him to be.
14:27You all right, man?
14:28What's up?
14:29Why were you crying this morning?
14:31Why was I?
14:32I was crying this morning because I had a rough day, man.
14:36I'll tell you what it was honestly.
14:37I'll tell you what it was honestly.
14:39I missed my medication.
14:42Okay, do you guys have salsa there?
14:47Oh, no!
14:49No salsa?
14:55Yeah, we got salsa.
14:59Let's get some salsa going.
15:03I like women at some miracles on vacation.
15:08Jason's Phantom of the Opera.
15:10Oh, it looks like a weird musk.
15:12Ooh!
15:14I have a guess.
15:17Okay, you have a guess.
15:18Um, Phantom of the Opera at a luau?
15:31Oh, you got...
15:34Are there any cool talents you have?
15:42It is good that we got you Christmas juice.
15:44This is the best rookie ever.
15:45This is...
15:45This national stuff's the best thing we've ever done.
15:54The Christmas juice is, um...
15:57It's wearing off.
15:59The Christmas juice is wearing off, guys.
16:02Yeah.
16:02Yeah.
16:03It wasn't that good of a bit anyway.
16:05You want to bail on that bit?
16:06Yeah, yeah.
16:06Just get some probes?
16:07Yeah, yeah.
16:07Okay, so you shoot it, you give him the placebo, he drinks it, and then what happens with the footage?
16:12So then we see some highlights, and then we just bail on the bit.
16:15Okay.
16:16Because it stunk.
16:17While we were shooting, we bailed on the bit.
16:19In the middle of shooting it!
16:21Yeah.
16:21And then we had to...
16:22It's never happened to me!
16:23And then we had to re...
16:24But then we had to start shooting it again.
16:25Yeah, because you've committed to bits that aren't going well.
16:28I love bad bits!
16:29I love stupid shit!
16:31So it must have been real boring.
16:33We may not use any of that, huh?
16:35Um, I mean, I'm strangely comfortable right now, but...
16:38It's a great couch.
16:39I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna...
16:39Back to the Spirit of Gathered 3, um, we had decided that we were gonna bail on the bit of
16:45the Christmas juice.
16:46Oh boy, did we bail!
16:47But we didn't have the footage of that, so of course we have to start shooting again.
16:51We shot again!
16:52So we have to go do some more Christmas juice stuff.
16:54So much Christmas juice!
16:55And then finally just, like, have Chris go again.
16:57You did do this, or you still have to do this?
17:00That night, we did it that night.
17:01Okay, you did, see?
17:02We have that footage.
17:03Christmas juice thing was my idea and it was a bad premise.
17:06I thought we were gonna put this part in before we bailed on the bit.
17:09Rob was not enthusiastic at all about Christmas juice, and that's a bad sign.
17:12Yeah, I didn't really understand it either.
17:14Why?
17:15I just didn't understand how we'd do it.
17:17But then why did we do it?
17:18Why didn't you guys tell me that?
17:20Yeah, I trust you as a comedian.
17:21The idea that you guys drug me so you can see my memories, I think that's funny.
17:28Yeah, but you explain it, I find it funny, but I am not able to replicate it in my own
17:32brain.
17:32It's not like people expect too much from the spirit of gathered.
17:35First one's great!
17:36Hi, Ramona.
17:37I love the plot.
17:38Other top moments.
17:39Other top moments.
17:40When Connor ate that Mrs. Dash.
17:43Explain Mrs. Dash.
17:44Explain Mrs. Dash.
17:45Mrs. Dash is a seasoning.
17:46A seasoning?
17:47Okay, so you need to fill your mouth with seasoning?
17:49So it's like a thousand percent sodium is what it is.
17:52A thousand percent sodium.
17:53So you're gonna, as you're running around, I want you to be, I want your, I want your,
17:57I want your, I want your eyes to the ceiling.
18:01I know what you want.
18:05All right.
18:05Okay.
18:06I have to go back, hang on, get back, hang on.
18:08What?
18:09Yeah!
18:10Up high!
18:11Connor, up!
18:19You're all a medium!
18:25Connor, come on, you're not done!
18:29I want it up high!
18:33This song's funny!
18:36Oh no!
18:40Connor has left!
18:41Connor has left!
18:43Connor has walked out of the studio.
18:46He's, we may be vomiting in the sink.
18:48Shannon, do you think he put in enough to, to be good at the one of you guys left?
18:52No, he went like 10 yards tops.
18:57My favorite part about the show is the, something will be offhanded, like an offhanded mention
19:04will happen and then the next week that's the theme.
19:06Like I love how fast it turns.
19:08Beef off was that.
19:09Beef off was that.
19:10Hold on, please quiet the studio.
19:11Who's on the phone?
19:13Millie.
19:13Millie, who you vote for?
19:15Drew.
19:16All right.
19:16Ladies and gentlemen, who is on the phone?
19:17Thank you for your calls.
19:19Who?
19:19Who?
19:19Yes!
19:20Who you vote for?
19:22Who you vote for?
19:24Who you vote for?
19:25Another one for Rob!
19:26Rob's coming back!
19:27You really went after it this year.
19:29Well, I thought you were going to lose.
19:31I was worried I was going to lose this time.
19:32I went in, I went into this beef off.
19:35I wanted to lose so that at some point in the future I could win back the title.
19:41Reclaim.
19:42But then...
19:42You do take it very seriously.
19:44But then in that last, in that last, like in that last competition as I heard them,
19:49as it sounded like Jesse was going to win, and I was like this could be the last beef off,
19:53I just, I was, I was starting to, oof.
19:56Shannon, what's the current count?
19:58I believe it's a tie.
20:00Rob and Jesse both have eight.
20:02Rob and Jesse both have eight.
20:04And they might also both have erections.
20:06It all comes down to you.
20:08You will pick this year's beef off champion.
20:11Who are you voting for?
20:13I'm voting for Rob Malone.
20:15Rob Malone.
20:18This belongs to you.
20:19Microphone, please.
20:20Beef Jerky, you were hit six to nothing at one point.
20:23You lost Nike.
20:24How you feeling?
20:25This is my first in the world.
20:28There's always that...
20:30In every game!
20:31That, that would be cool if what I'm saying right now was the clip you used to cut out of
20:36the clip of Rob and the Beef Off.
20:38So it's kind of a beef sandwich.
20:39That'd be so cool.
20:40On one side is you with Chris, in the spirit footage, talking about the beef off,
20:45then you play the clip, and then you cut to me, and it's like,
20:47what I'm saying right now could be part of the show or not.
20:49But if you were specific about it, that'd be great.
20:51Then it probably is.
20:52I have the power to make it.
20:53Yeah, please.
20:54Use your powers.
20:55We're good.
20:56This is now the outro.
20:57Let me get it clean, guys.
20:59Let me get it clean.
20:59Let me get it clean.
21:00This is now the outro to the clip of the beef off.
21:04Great.
21:04And now we need to segue into something very interesting.
21:07Here's a question for you, Chris.
21:08Yeah.
21:08The messenger bag comes around, breathing life into the show.
21:12Yeah.
21:13But then he doesn't leave.
21:14We extend it.
21:15Right?
21:15Yeah, we found a way to extend it.
21:16But then he didn't really...
21:17I see where you're going with this.
21:19Yeah.
21:19He finds a moment every show.
21:21So what is it?
21:22Do we keep him on forever?
21:23No.
21:24I think he's done now.
21:25Now?
21:25That's it.
21:26So he will not come back in 2013?
21:27He doesn't know this yet.
21:282014.
21:29Right.
21:30Sorry.
21:30I mess up the year.
21:31I've been frequently mess up words.
21:33Just like you messed up those words in that one episode.
21:35I was baffled.
21:36Yeah, that was insane.
21:37The bowl one?
21:38Murphy and Banana Boy knows about the sign.
21:41Oh.
21:42Yeah, we do know about the sign.
21:43No, no, no.
21:44Whoever is there knows about the sign.
21:46What did the sign say?
21:47And I know about the sign.
21:49Yeah, what did he say?
21:50I know about the sign.
21:51He knows...
21:52Everyone in this room knows about the sign.
21:54Nobody knows about...
21:55No, no, no.
21:56How did this guy know about the sign?
21:58Because we said it already.
21:59Because we've been talking about it all night.
21:59We said...
22:00We said we left something on their door.
22:02We didn't say it was a sign.
22:03Oh.
22:04We didn't say it was a sign.
22:06Who wanted to say?
22:07What did he say?
22:08You dummy?
22:08You're blowing the whole thing.
22:09Do they really...
22:10Do they really know about the sign?
22:12Wait.
22:12Everyone else stopped messaging for a second.
22:14Everyone in the chat room stopped typing except for this guy.
22:16Because that is weird.
22:17Murphy and Banana Boy.
22:18What did the sign say?
22:19What did the sign say?
22:20No, you tell us!
22:21Hey!
22:22She's reading things off the chat room.
22:24Don't...
22:25You're an idiot.
22:26She's reading things off the chat room.
22:29You are reacting on the wrong side of a conversation consistently.
22:34And you cannot figure it out.
22:36Banana Man.
22:37Oh my God.
22:41He's not on anymore.
22:42He's not on anymore?
22:43Murphy and Banana Boy.
22:44That's us.
22:45No!
22:46That is someone's username in the chat room, right?
22:50I don't know.
22:51I'm not asking you.
22:52I'm not asking you.
22:52I'm not asking you.
22:53You're Banana Man.
22:55Seriously.
22:55I was totally baffled.
22:56That was insane behavior, right?
22:58You lost all ability to understand human language.
23:02Sometimes I get wrapped up in a moment and I lose my marbles.
23:06I don't know why.
23:06But I enjoy getting lost.
23:07But I enjoy getting lost in the moment.
23:08You were like a living Abbott and Costello routine.
23:12That's fun.
23:13That's fun for you.
23:14That's good for you.
23:16Expressions are amazing.
23:17She's a great cat.
23:18She's just like, I don't care about that.
23:23She's the best.
23:24Great cat.
23:25Fantastic cat.
23:27Andres getting his head shaved, I really love.
23:35Shut up!
23:36Shut up!
23:39Shut up!
23:40Shut up!
23:41Shut up!
23:41Shut up!
23:41Shut up!
23:41Shut up!
23:42Shut up!
23:43Shut up!
23:44Shut up!
23:44Get down, boy!
23:46Wow.
23:47Wow.
23:49Holy shit.
23:51Andres, your mom's gonna be really mad.
23:54Why did you say she said it was okay?
23:57You believed me.
24:02We cannot let you leave the studio looking like that.
24:06We can't.
24:07I love Andres a lot.
24:08We have a bit where we don't like each other, but I love that kid.
24:10If there's one thing I'm genuinely mad at him about for this year,
24:13it was that I felt manipulated.
24:15The idea that this child lied to me for a grab at FaceTime.
24:20Didn't love it.
24:21You know what else I didn't love?
24:22When Messenger back fucking betrayed me.
24:24I was genuinely hurt.
24:26My feelings were genuine.
24:27I was stunned.
24:28I was shocked.
24:29I can't believe he did it.
24:31It's so scary.
24:38It is the director and writer of the show.
24:42No likes.
24:43JD Amato.
24:44This isn't a fight.
24:45Duke Ponzetti and Drew Johnson are here as well.
24:47What is this?
24:47Well, this has been interesting so far.
24:49I think it's been good.
24:50You think it's a good episode?
24:50I'm sure you're feeling real heroic right now, right?
24:53Exactly.
24:53Feeling like a big hero?
24:54Huh?
24:55Well, it's interesting because I think you were a hero before this, weren't you?
24:58People really liked you.
24:59And now, oh, it's pretty easy to stay here and be the hero.
25:01Well, we're here to change that.
25:03Things are going to get a lot more difficult starting right now for you.
25:06You have another choice to make.
25:07A choice that is going to be a lot harder than whether to continue being a hero.
25:14So, your first option is you can stay here and continue to defend Chris.
25:23But, your 15 weeks ends today.
25:31Or, or, or, you can walk away from Chris Gethard right now.
25:41And let him, for the next 20 minutes, be beaten up with the same ferocity that the people have been
25:48fighting with to this point.
25:49And your 15 weeks starts over next week.
26:04So what do you say, messenger bag?
26:06Messenger bag, that means...
26:08Are you a hero?
26:09You stay and you fight and your time with the show ends tonight.
26:12But you end your time here as a hero.
26:14Or your time resets.
26:16But you are a villain and you walk away.
26:18So are you a hero?
26:19Or are you a villain?
26:2020,
26:2319,
26:2480,
26:2570,
26:2760,
26:2850,
26:2940,
26:3130,
26:3112,
26:3212,
26:3311,
26:3410,
26:359,
26:368,
26:387,
26:396,
26:47Wow!
26:48Wow!
26:55Well Chris, enjoy the next 20 minutes.
26:59You still upset with him after the fact?
27:02For a few weeks I really didn't trust him anymore.
27:04And then I talked with him about it a little bit
27:06like privately, but I was very
27:10legitimately, legitimately shocked.
27:12I never thought someone would just abandon me
27:14to physical violence
27:17for 30 minutes.
27:19We didn't want to have to break in a new random
27:21when we were focusing on rebuilding the show.
27:23So we wanted Messenger back to stick around
27:25cause he's good.
27:26And we just didn't like, we just didn't have it in us.
27:29We're like, we gotta start workshopping this other stuff.
27:31So the whole evil JD Amato thing,
27:33if you go back and look at it,
27:35almost every aspect of it is just an excuse.
27:38So we can start inserting things for a comedy set,
27:42like a half hour, start trying new things.
27:44Almost every bit in the evil JD storyline is done,
27:48if you go back and look, to allow us to start practicing
27:51some Comedy Central driven decisions
27:54before we were allowed to announce it.
27:56And what really sucks about that whole thing is that
27:59a lot of our, you know, like,
28:01like when you come on as Banana Man,
28:03people tweet at the Banana Man account.
28:05And like when people call you like B-Fop Champion
28:08or World's Greatest Dancer, it's generally with a lot of love.
28:11But people were tweeting at JD, like, you're a fucking piece of shit.
28:15Like, you're an evil piece of shit.
28:17And in the meantime, here's this guy who like kills himself for the show.
28:22And his first like real meaty onscreen involvement is taking the hits
28:26so our fans can be like, you fucking asshole, lying piece of shit.
28:32Stop music, stop music, Shannon, give him the mic.
28:34What?
28:34This was a disaster.
28:36It was not a disaster.
28:36This was a disaster.
28:37It was really fun.
28:37You're medium charming.
28:39You're medium charming.
28:41This was no good.
28:42Technically, this was complete horseshit.
28:44We're supposed to be professionals.
28:45That's not on us.
28:46That was on you.
28:47How?
28:47We want, we want to make this big.
28:50You don't fuck with this show.
28:51That said, I'm making changes, okay?
28:54This show- This is our director, by the way, Mike.
28:56Nice to meet you, Mike.
28:57You did great.
28:59Oh, no.
29:00But I, we, you're not doing good for this.
29:03You're not making it work.
29:03I thought it was great.
29:04Hour-long show, no more.
29:06Next week, your show's a half hour.
29:08You can't do that.
29:09I can do whatever I want.
29:12Next week, we're giving the audience what they want.
29:13Some real fucking ratings boosting, Chris.
29:16What are you talking about?
29:17First half hour, you're going to be the opening act.
29:20For the second half hour, it should be Horse and Bee.
29:30I mean, easily the worst moment in the history of the show happened this year, which was
29:36Philip Romano's Long Tongue Phil's magic call where he tried to do a magic trick on it.
29:40Oh, I love that.
29:41Oh, Ramona.
29:42Ramona Tripp.
29:44You okay?
29:45Is she okay?
29:46Yeah, she's all right.
29:46She might bite you.
29:48Long Tongue Phil's call where he attempted a magic trick was truly inexplicable, true nonsense,
29:53a waste of everyone's time, he had no sense to actually get out of it, it was pure hubris
29:58to even attempt that.
29:59And that meltdown I had on the air, very real.
30:02This is our old friend, Long Tongue Phil, Phil, how you doing?
30:05Hi, Phil.
30:06Hi, I'm good, um, would you have time for a short magic trick?
30:11I, uh, no, no, no, no, no magic, no magic.
30:14I want to know how he does magic on a phone.
30:16Okay, fine, good, phone magic, phone magic, how do we do phone magic, Phil?
30:20All right, um, is there a deck of cards around there?
30:24Joel just has a deck of cards?
30:27Put it into two almost equal piles.
30:30Oh my God.
30:34Um, count the number of cards in your pile.
30:38No.
30:40This is the most elaborate, we're making people have one.
30:42Okay, we're making people have one.
30:44Okay, how many cards do you have one?
30:46This sucks.
30:47I like it.
30:47So bad.
30:48What?
30:49What the fuck is this magic trick?
30:52This is so boring.
30:54Phil, this magic trick is longer than your tongue.
30:56What?
30:57No, no.
30:57Do we have to keep doing this?
30:59Yes.
30:59Why?
31:00Why?
31:01It's so close.
31:02No hung up?
31:03He hung up because he knew.
31:06Aww.
31:07Aww.
31:09People are sad that that's over?
31:12No.
31:12What?
31:14All right.
31:15We'll never know.
31:17Let's go to Steve in Pittsburgh.
31:19What's up, Steve?
31:20I thought the Skype stuff, I thought the mic at the library stuff.
31:23I was really proud of that.
31:24We were trying to play with Skype for a while.
31:26Years ago we tried Skype and it wasn't set up right in the studio for audio.
31:30I was really glad with how that turned out.
31:32And I thought sending you and Jason up, to me, like, I love that about our show.
31:37Like, here's public access, which is kind of outdated.
31:40Here's Skype, which is like current technology.
31:43We're blending those.
31:44And then also you get a real world encounter with people.
31:46I feel like that's why people like our show.
31:48That's what's, in that episode we engage with people in like four or five different ways.
31:53Twitter, phone, face to face, Skype, 2013.
31:56Bringing it.
31:57Let's see.
31:58I don't know.
31:59What the fuck is going on?
32:00Oh shit, Vacation Jason's here.
32:01What?
32:02What?
32:03No.
32:05No.
32:05And Banana Man.
32:06What?
32:14Banana Man and Vacation Jason.
32:16Vacation Jason, what are you doing in Ithaca, New York?
32:19Ha ha, we have invaded your stupid show.
32:22Ha ha.
32:23I don't like this, Jason.
32:24And how, what are you doing there?
32:26This is the smartest place we've ever been.
32:29The funnest place you've ever been?
32:31We are surrounded by brainiacs and I feel inadequate.
32:36One of the really unsung moments that I want to give a personal shout out to that I feel like
32:40was a little bit forgotten by our fans.
32:42Weenie Feet Bobbins.
32:43So good.
32:44Weenie Feet Bobbins, so funny.
32:49Weenie Feet Bobbins, welcome to the show.
33:02Weenie Feet Bobbins and I came all the way from London, England, where I'm an orphan without any parents.
33:09Cause me parents gave me up cause I got hot dogs for feet.
33:23I came all the way to New York for your show and also to see Annie on Broadway.
33:32Me friend Annie, who lives on 137th and Broadway.
33:38Now, weenie Feet, can I ask, how did you come to, you seem so happy that I'm asking you a
33:45question.
33:46Yeah.
33:47You know, how did you come to have weenies for feet?
33:50It's just born that way.
33:52People is born different.
33:56Yeah.
33:56It was hard though cause me dad's a butcher and me mom's a vegan.
34:00So they had to get me up again.
34:04Now, here's something I noticed, panel.
34:07A lot of our characters have been real sad tonight.
34:09Weenie Feet, it sounds to me like you might have the saddest life handed to you, but you got the
34:13most, you're the most cheerful one by far.
34:15Yeah, you always gotta look up so you don't see your hot dog feet.
34:24But that was one where I wonder like sometimes, does it translate?
34:28Does the studio energy always translate over the cameras?
34:31Cause people in the studio lost their minds from Weenie Feet, Bobbins.
34:36Weenie Feet, Bobbins is great.
34:37That's another thing, like if we're successful on Comedy Central, like it won't be as raw.
34:41A lot of the kids who like this because of that need to remember that like we just like filled
34:47in a blank and now they can fill in that same blank.
34:50Cause like the Comedy Central show will not push all the same emotional buttons.
34:54It'll hopefully push some new interesting ones that we'll find along the way.
34:57But part of the hundo speech, I had that knowledge of it looks like this thing might happen.
35:02Here's my advice for anybody out there who's creative and scared.
35:06Shout until they fucking hear you.
35:08And then shout even louder.
35:10Okay?
35:11And then all you have to do, all you have to do at that point is listen for the other
35:17people who are shouting.
35:18I gave that speech sort of knowing this thing was going to end the show in one way or the
35:24other.
35:24And I think if you go back and rewatch the hundo speech with that context, you can see I'm kind
35:28of like,
35:28I think that's part of why I'm not sad now at the end of the Eminem run.
35:32Because a lot of the emotions and things I wanted to say, like there's a lot, if you see, if
35:37you go back and watch,
35:38like a lot of the language is phrased as like, even if this turns into something else, it's going to
35:41be different than what it is right now.
35:43I don't know how much longer we can keep this thing going.
35:46And that doesn't mean that we're ending it.
35:48Doesn't mean we're planning on ending it.
35:50Duke can tell you as one of the writers, we don't sit around talking about ending this thing,
35:52but I do sense a couple things.
35:53One is that I'm fucking exhausted all the time.
35:56We're burning JD out and all the other people who work on this show.
35:59We burn out.
36:00The enthusiasm comes and goes.
36:01That's life.
36:01It's going to happen.
36:02But it makes me realize we're two years in, 120 hours of content in.
36:06There has to be a point where this thing either changes or ends.
36:09If instead of ending the show, it goes to a network, it'll still be the end of what we have
36:16here today
36:16and for the past two years.
36:19When that day comes, that show will have to be cleaned up and have commercials
36:22and it won't have calls maybe, and it might be a half hour, who knows,
36:26but it'll be a different show.
36:27And right now, we do have something very pure and something that organically became this thing
36:31none of us predicted.
36:32And kids all over the world have put their fingerprints on it.
36:34So, if we don't shut it down, it means that it's still evolving into, like, a major label version of
36:39itself
36:40and that will still have to be a goodbye to being out here on the frontier of public access.
36:44You know what I mean?
36:45We end the show.
36:46It might mean that maybe, actually, we do get picked up.
36:48And I want to say something about that.
36:49Networks, what do we have to do?
36:52Besides generating 120 hours of funny fucking content on zero budget
36:56with a show that operates out of the trunk of a Ford Fiesta.
36:59Put us on cable, okay?
37:01We will do damage.
37:02Everybody watching this shit knows if we get the chance, we're going to smash it.
37:06I'm not arrogant.
37:08We're doing cool stuff.
37:11The Comedy Central stuff, like, it was kind of, when everything fell into place,
37:15it was really crazy how quick it all happened.
37:17Just in the sense of, like, the producing team that got on board really randomly.
37:22And then it looked like the Comedy Central thing was going to happen, so it wasn't nailed down.
37:27But I was like, oh, this might actually happen, and this is my chance to kind of address it before
37:33it does, you know?
37:35And I think it worked.
37:36I think, like, I think it helped the announcement.
37:41I think it made it clear, like, yeah, we're selling out, but we kind of have to.
37:45It's dying anyway, you know?
37:47It's like, it's coming to a conclusion on its own, so we're going to sell it out, you know?
37:51That's a good Easter egg about the Hundo speech, right?
37:54Mm-hmm.
37:54I'm trying to think of exactly when I knew.
37:57Well, Anchorman was when Adam McKay, I was on the set and Adam McKay was describing our show to Will
38:04Ferrell,
38:04which was insane to me because I didn't know Adam knew much about it, but he was really into it.
38:09And then Will Ferrell was, like, asking me what we do with the show, and then he was like, can
38:14I come on it when I'm in New York?
38:15And McKay just really offhandedly was like, who's producing that for you?
38:18Is anybody helping you pitch it?
38:19And I was like, no.
38:20And he's like, can we?
38:21And I was like, oh, everything just changed, you know what I mean?
38:24You could just feel everything change.
38:26I got on set.
38:27I don't know if I've ever talked about this on the show.
38:28Like, I got on the set and Paul Rudd was like, oh, hey, man, I'm a big fan of yours.
38:32And I was like, oh, likewise, thanks.
38:34But I was in a music video Tom Sharpling directed and they're friends.
38:37So I figured, because Tom had once told me, like, oh, Paul Rudd emailed me and said the video is
38:42good and he thought you in particular were funny in it.
38:46I thought that was cool, you know?
38:47So I figured he meant from that.
38:48But then he came up to me later in the day and it was so trippy because he was like,
38:52yeah, dude, like, I really love your show.
38:54And I was like, oh, you watch it?
38:55He's like, yeah, well, I have a place in Manhattan.
38:57I DVR it.
38:58And whenever I'm in New York, I catch up.
38:59And he's like, I'm really sorry.
39:01He's like, I was behind.
39:03He just went into it like a fan.
39:04He's like, I like to watch live, but because of the career stuff, I fall behind.
39:08And I wasn't watching live when Connor needed someone from Friends.
39:11Like, if I was in town, I would have gotten in a cab.
39:13I would have been right there.
39:14It would have been so fun.
39:15I was like, that's crazy.
39:17That's crazy, you know?
39:19And it was just like, it felt like a real, like, quiet moment of pride, you know?
39:24And like, weird.
39:26It's just weird.
39:26Because I feel like we all feel like we're kind of in a vacuum.
39:28But it's cool to like, every once in a while realize like, alright, like people we like,
39:35like our show.
39:36That's cool, you know?
39:37Keeps you going, you know?
39:39Keeps you going.
39:40Well, that sets things up better, right?
39:42Sets things up better what?
39:43And then my convoluted Christmas juice premise.
39:46I think we're going to use some of the Christmas juice and just cut to like, well, that bit
39:50sucked.
39:50You might as well show me laughing when you call me a dickhead.
39:53Yeah, probably.
39:54This dickhead drank all the Christmas juice and I burst out laughing.
39:58I think this dickhead drank it all.
40:00Supposed to share it.
40:03You guys want to get some food?
40:04Yeah.
40:05Okay.
40:06Can I come in there?
40:07I won't film your penis.
40:08No, man.
40:10Okay, so.
40:11Yeah, this is my toilet.
40:13This is my, here's an inside look.
40:14It's like cribs.
40:15Like, here's my bathroom.
40:16This is a real toilet.
40:18But yo, I got to pee right now.
40:19So back on up.
40:20Wait, you're, oh, you're going to leave the camera there?
40:32I think people are going to be more interested in getting cool anyway.
40:35I think Spirit of Gethard is about insight.
40:38There's no avail of secrecy to Chris.
40:39They'll tell you what he's feeling.
40:40They'll tell you the current happenings of the Chris Gethard show and everything else.
40:43But the Spirit of Gethard is, we get to ask these questions that he wouldn't say during the show.
40:47To me, I feel like one of the high points of the whole show was by the stunning new character,
40:52that girl who fell asleep.
41:02Any response?
41:03We don't have much time.
41:04Also, Sergeant, that girl is seven to sleep.
41:09How did she get in here?
41:11Any response?
41:12We don't have much time.
41:14Look, you're right, alright?
41:15We should start figuring this out.
41:16It's serious.
41:17I want to know who that girl was.
41:18I want to know where she came from, where she went.
41:20I want to know everything about her.
41:22Many people seem to think she was on heroin.
41:25I want to know if that was true.
41:26I want to know if she's okay.
41:28I want to know if she's okay.
41:33You can stay.
41:34You can stay.
41:34It's a submarine.
41:35She has to work.
41:36You were staying.
41:37As a first order of business, I say I should get more food because I'm a horse and you're
41:42a human.
41:48I felt bad throwing a monkey wrench into a very carefully planned show, but it needed
41:52to be addressed.
41:53No, no, no.
41:54It's going to be alright.
41:55I'll have a look.
41:56Guys, that girl's asleep again.
41:58There's no more point!
42:00The horse is dying!
42:02Do you see this?
42:03Who cares?
42:04The horse is dying!
42:06Even that's not making her up.
42:07No, no, no, no, no.
42:08You're screaming.
42:09It's not making her up.
42:10He's gonna be okay.
42:11He's gonna be okay.
42:12I'm dying.
42:13She's not.
42:14Chris Gethard, a fan of comedy, recognizes that vacation chase is supremely funny.
42:18Very, very funny.
42:41So 9 times out of 10 when I say I don't like something, it's just to try to make it
42:46funnier.
42:46And the other one time out of 10 is when I refer to you.
42:49Wow!
42:50So you really don't like him?
42:52Don't like when you are annoying?
42:55You're making it funnier right now.
42:57Dude.
42:57So you kind of like it.
42:58Look at the smile.
42:59Rob, Rob, Rob.
43:01He is genuinely so annoying.
43:04He's one of your best friends, right?
43:05Yeah.
43:05When he puts on the banana seat, is there a more annoying human being?
43:08I want to throw this at you so bad.
43:10It wouldn't break if you did.
43:12It would break you.
43:13I don't break me.
43:13It would shatter your skull.
43:15It wouldn't break me.
43:15The more you say that I'm not funny, the funnier I know that I am.
43:18Did you trump the stupidity?
43:22Stupidity?
43:23Stupidity?
43:25Stupidity?
43:25Did you honestly just mispronounce stupidity?
43:28Stupidity.
43:28That is a new low, Banana Man.
43:30You mispronounced stupidity?
43:35That could not be a lower moment in your life.
43:38It's okay.
43:38Banana Man.
43:39It was a stupid city.
43:40Banana Man.
43:40It was a city that was stupid.
43:42Stupid city.
43:44Want to see me do the thing where I conquer Banana Man via laughter?
43:49I'm not going to lie.
44:19I can't make him laugh so hard.
44:20I laughed once.
44:22I laughed once.
44:23What?
44:23I didn't chuckle.
44:25I didn't chuckle.
44:25Check the tape.
44:26I didn't chuckle.
44:27I didn't chuckle.
44:28I didn't make a sound.
44:38I should have a staring contest with every person associated with the other team.
44:41There is something real about that right?
44:44Would you say that friends having fun is the spirit of the spirit of Gethard?
44:48Friends having fun.
44:50I think being honest.
44:51And friends having fun connecting.
44:52Like deep thoughts.
44:53The way that we talked to Chris on film is not necessarily the way we talked to him on
44:55camera.
44:56And one huge flaw, HUGE flaw for the spirit of Gethard 3 was that we got into this deep conversation
45:02off camera at a pizzeria about the future of the show, about us, about life, about stress.
45:07No cameras rolling.
45:09Don't tell us that.
45:10I want to see that.
45:11It was great.
45:11But I think it might have happened because the cameras weren't rolling.
45:14I think at this point in time we're all a little burnt out.
45:16But we're not burnt out.
45:18We're excited for the future.
45:20We got a pilot that we're making.
45:22A lot of good stuff is going to happen.
45:24I think everyone's tired.
45:24No one's burnt out.
45:25What do we do on Wednesday?
45:26What are we going to do next Wednesday?
45:28Because public access is pretty much done, you know?
45:31I don't think we're going to go back.
45:32We'll probably do a farewell show at some point.
45:35But I feel like a lot of people have written to us and, you know, said that the show is
45:40inspiring to them and said that I'm inspiring to them.
45:42Like a certain subset of kids who like comedy looks at me as like a strange Christ-like figure.
45:48And I think ultimately my goal for the show, like the legacy, the best legacy for it would
45:53be like if I was like a John the Baptist-like figure, you know?
45:56People thought I was onto something and then they're like, oh, no, wait.
46:00He's just the precursor to this other shit.
46:02And that's my hope is that some kid who's watching our show is like, these guys have
46:07almost got to figure it out and I'm going to really figure it out.
46:10And maybe we'll learn from the stuff we've figured out so far and really nail it on Comedy Central.
46:16But we get these emails from these kids, man.
46:19I'm telling you, they're like creative kids who are like, you're doing the shit I've been looking for.
46:24I think at least one or two of them is going to do something fucking awesome in the future.
46:29And that's the real legacy of our show while on public access.
46:35We like did it ourselves and we actually pulled it off.
46:39And that's going to make other people realize that they can pull off their own shit.
46:42So I'm excited to see what that shit is.
46:45I say that a lot, but I mean it so sincerely.
46:58Hi.
47:01Hi.
47:04Hi.
47:25Is this the end credits, is this what rolls under the end credits right here?
47:29I think so.
47:30Yeah, yeah.
47:30Make it as awkward as possible.
47:32When do you go to Tennessee?
47:33I'm going to Tennessee on Monday morning.
47:36I really like you guys.
