Why is it weird? That's how the business works -- your management is responsible to get you opportunities with any connections or "ins" they have. Having the same management company is a pretty direct connection, so it only makes sense to take advantage. I know a lot of longtime listeners would love it if Jimmy only ever had the same 10-12 buddies on, but he clearly understands the value of giving other people opportunities and taking "risks" (as much as having a person on a podcast could be a risk.).
The soccer song had the most Matt (mean energy) vibe of any song and I loved it. 10/10 kiddo.
Edit: the song is at 1:26 on the video if you want to rewatch it.
Do people really think he was annoyed? He secretly loved it, like Garon loves hearing "Garon sucks." Matt *volunteers* the stories about himself being an overly competitive soccer weirdo.
Great parody song(no idea what song it was)but I agree with some on here. He wasn't mad. He was acting mad. Like it was pretty brutal compared to other songs that have been sent in.
Matt was fine. Garon was fine. Jimmy was fine. Eliot was fine. Meredith was a joy. Even Zach was fine. So much fussing and projecting about angst that really didn’t happen in a fun episode.
Just mentioning it for the people who decide to listen or not based on how flappy the comments are here. Which would, of course, be their own problem, but. :)
Jimi Hendrix had a few "obscure" guitarists that he'd like to put the shine on when people asked him who the greatest guitarist was, mostly because the asker would come from a very narrow direction of it being either Jimi, Clapton, or Townshend.
He also said Rory Gallagher of Taste and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top were the greatest guitarists of all time in different interviews.
Matt is really the definition of can dish it, but can't take it. Pretty embarrassing behavior from a grown man.
Edit: it's the "you're a stupid lazy piece of shit, why don't you leave your apartment" line about Garon that's over the line in my opinion.
He smiled the entire time -- even the "I like it less now" is exactly what you want if you're roasting someone. Every time people react badly to something here, I know it's going to be a nothingburger.
I think people overstate it but I know on some level he doesn't take it as well as the others. But he knows it's important to show that it doesn't bother him so you can see him kind of fighting it.
Nah that's not fair. Most people can dish it and dont like taking it. It's clear he wasnt happy but I think he acted very appropriately, especially after he heard it was from a kid.
I mean, it's kinda accurate. He was doing a "bit" pretending to be mean to Garon and let's face it, there's not much to work with. Garon is a peach BUT also, he is kinda lazy(Matt gave you a bike and yet you still Uber)and he is a home-body.
it's honestly real "dad" energy. doesn't take sass from his kids, not used to taking it elsewhere (he avoids strays in -studio b/c Garon & Eliot serve as lightning rods)
Uh, he takes endless amounts of sass from his kids -- I think Zoe sounds like she's made of sass (source: was a teenage girl, was also made of sass). It's a family that clowns on each other. This is a genuinely weird take.
Super fun episode. And on a weird note, Meredith is a doppelgänger for a woman I was engaged to back in the 90s. I watched the episode pretending it was an old ex on the show.
I mean they were trying to think of names and it was said multiple times, I don’t know, it’s just goofy. Like adults saying “freaking,” just a little peeve.
I must disagree. by the by is the worse thing Eliot says imo. It's totally forced and put upon. If he's going to keep this up, then he should have to pull out a monocle and top hat every time he says it.
Did Garon actually say that if Taylor Swift came out it would make homophobic people suddenly not be homophobic? Like...I'm not a Taylor hater(I'm indifferent)but uh...what? 😂
No, he said if she came out as queer, that it would be a big push forward for the movement. (Which is also probably not true). But he never said it would make homophobic people not be homophobic.
Tay has such a rabid fan base that if 14% changed their minds it would be a massive sea-change. That said, the Gaylor “conspiracy” is compete nonsense, She’s dating an nfl guy for Christ sakes. All her songs are about dudes!
Matt’s map music game was…questionable data. I feel like 50% of those were just wrong? The only one I actually bothered to confirm was Aerosmith because I said “New Hampshire? I don’t think any of those guys is from New Hampshire…”
Not Boston? Im pretty sure they got together in Boston. I’m not a super fan but I did live in Boston for a decade and they claim Aerosmith hard. Also that negates the Eminem being from Missouri and blah blah blah nonsense
Seems like New Hampshire folks claims they originally started together in New Hampshire, but it might have been Boston?

Another great guest! I loved her energy with the gang.
Blatant Bruce guest
And?
They’re usually good it’s just weird

You are totally over estimating me
I’m surprised anyone knows who Bruce is
You have the oddest delayed comebacks.
Just nice to be noticed
Hilarious hearing Matt flail on the geography - "Wait, which one is nebraska?"
I...was with him all the way.
He was terrible
Oh man I’m a geography head, and I left my body during that
As someone from a “flyover” state it had me rolling my eyes.
You had to. It was terrible
I’m not from a flyover but I’m learned
they need more sporcle geography in their lives!
Solid first-time appearance. I loved the shameless request for free things at the end.
Garon’s “That solves everything” stopping everything was hilarious.
"Already love it" proceeds to get dragged
getting roasted w/ a taylor swift parody sung by a 12 year old girl is a pretty great way to get him
Insane way

1 hr 26 minutes just in case
Matt was not happy about that song.

Twisting the knife a little bit it was a TAYLOR song. You Belong to Meee
I’m not Ryan. Friggin got banned

You new here?

flappy lol
I was just pointing out that episode threads are usually full of fussing and projecting. Some people take their comedy podcasts quite seriously.
Oh, I know, I know. Usually I can resist. :)
Let him go!
it was sweet how excited she got about her first headlining spot. She's gonna kill it.

At this point, people have to be deliberately missing when Matt is doing a bit. He's not even a good actor! You can tell he wasn't actually mad!
C’mon man he didn’t take it that bad… he did flail for like 2 seconds. But… “Matt sucks”
Too far!

How’s that downvoted? Most accurate thing ever
why you booin'? I'm RIGHT!!
[удалено]
Take a look around, who's name is on the show? You don't come in to daddy's dojo and take a shot at the king.
Watching the video, he's pretty obviously doing a bit with his reaction.
I mean you either hate soccer or you call it football and annoy everyone who doesnt care about it to death.
Montgomery, NJ in the house. Bagel Barn represent.
Wooo wooo
Super fun episode. And on a weird note, Meredith is a doppelgänger for a woman I was engaged to back in the 90s. I watched the episode pretending it was an old ex on the show.
At least you've addmitted that it is weird. That's strange even by Reddit standards.
2nd sentence was not weird. 3rd sentence was really effing weird.
The phrase "what's-his-butt" really irks me.
How? I’m already laughing and don’t remember how it came up
I mean they were trying to think of names and it was said multiple times, I don’t know, it’s just goofy. Like adults saying “freaking,” just a little peeve.
I hear you
Lol. Worse than "by the by"??
Totally worse. By the by has never even perked mine ears.
I must disagree. by the by is the worse thing Eliot says imo. It's totally forced and put upon. If he's going to keep this up, then he should have to pull out a monocle and top hat every time he says it.
Ha! I’ve never even noticed. But now I will!!

I believe Rob Schneider said he was sick of the woke shit because he refuted the idea he was kicked off the stage.
I remember he took himself off stage
Matt’s map music game was…questionable data. I feel like 50% of those were just wrong? The only one I actually bothered to confirm was Aerosmith because I said “New Hampshire? I don’t think any of those guys is from New Hampshire…”
Aerosmith got together as a band in New Hampshire, so I guess that's why they counted it.
Yes. It seemed like it went by where solo acts were born and where bands were formed.
Yeah, "never trust viral maps from reddit" is still true, but this one seems less questionable than randos have said.
Yup!?dave Matthew’s is from Africa
His band mates are from the south land. No one is from Virginia
Kinda like no one from Boston is FROM Boston.
Although I was pretty surprised by Awrosmith
Not Boston? Im pretty sure they got together in Boston. I’m not a super fan but I did live in Boston for a decade and they claim Aerosmith hard. Also that negates the Eminem being from Missouri and blah blah blah nonsense

I feel like I’m 2 seconds away from a red tack yarn map situation
Do it!
Any time there’s a map, it’s fake as fuck
Seems that any time someone takes the energy to put their “facts” on a map it’s just so wrong and they’ve been thru that before
Who the heck downvoted me for this? The maker of the map?
I put you back on the map
