Bad AI Transcript of the show this week

No. No, I meant Jeremy, the little blue guy from Yellow Submarine. Oh, I only saw that once, man. Come on. You got the hole in my pocket. You only saw it once. It’s like… The fantastic psychedelic cartoon? No, they were showing that movie on someone’s house and this stranger just laid by me and he was telling me what the movie was about and then he disappeared. This sounds like possibly… Sounds like Miles’ own biography. Yeah, I was going to… This sounds a little bit like… something that you have to go through the little saloon doors to get at the video store back in the day. Hey, would you mind if i shared your blanket with you, big brown eyes? All right. Well, come on in, man. Yeah. Let’s make a tent. Let’s spoon while we watch the yellow submarine.

Why does this guy keep poking me in the back? Yeah. Oh, it’s my car keys. That was Miles. My introduction to many things that night. Long, what was it? Rochelle, Rochelle. Yeah. Miles, Miles. Long journey from Milan to Minsk. Humbert, Humbert. Yeah. Let me tell you about the Blue Meanies. This guy showed up and he’s like, Hey man, I’m going to tell you about this movie. Off the street. Yeah. I mean, this guy just literally like beamed down from like, you know, like the, the enterprise, he beamed down literally. And I went to go turn to talk to him and he was gone. I’m like, what the fuck just happened?
Yeah, I’m sure that’s what you said. I’m like, Siraj, come back, you son of a bitch. Where’d you go? I got roofied while I was watching you. I know. I think I did. By a homeless stranger. I woke up the next day, and let me tell you. I’ve never been like that before. I felt young and free. I was wearing my pants. My blanket is my pants. I woke up without my pants on. that was uh williams uh yeah this girl we worked with told the story about going to a party and she’s oh yeah i woke up without my pants on. And I’m like, what? And she’s like, yeah, I woke up without my pants on i go do you remember anything no
She was dating her cousin. Wasn’t she dating her cousin? She was dating her cousin. It was a whole thing. They both had the same last name. And they’re both from the same small town. They’re both from the same small town. That’s weird, man. I’m sorry. I think they got married. Oh, God. Just saying. So I’m going to pinch hit with Suresh tonight. I did nothing absolutely interesting at all this week. And Suresh did… Because Suresh went… This is called tag team. We’re tag team storytelling here. Unlike you who were tag teaming in a different way. Yeah, I got roofied though. Here, drink this. Be gentle. Drink this. So Suresh went to the Kansas City Comic Con. Suresh, you want to fill us in on what all happened? What all kind of hijinks you got into out there? I saw you. Can I say who you were with? Are you going to get into that? Yeah, you can say. You sure? Sure. Christina Ricci. Yeah. I know, Miles, it would perk up whenever you hear that. Talk slow, though. Talk very slow when you describe this, okay? He wants to relish it.
Every second of it. I’m going to loosen my belt. Okay, go ahead. Yeah, so I was basically at the Planet Comic Con, Kansas City, last weekend. And I got in through volunteering there. Yes. Oh, you were one of the volunteers. Wow. Yeah, one of the volunteers. So did you have to sit at a table with people or no? So I was volunteering for Celebrity Row. Yes, that’s where all the celebrity guests come. Wait, you can do that? I mean, you have to interview for it. If you pass the interview, Miles, you’re slim to none. If they have Jennifer Love Hewitt there, I’m doing it. You tell me how to do it, I’m going to do it. The main question they’ll ask you is, why do you want to volunteer at Celebrity Row? Because I got a huge…
Well, the second question is, do you have any restraining orders against any celebrities? Yeah, Will Wheaton, he can go suck a fart. Yeah, Will Wheaton’s probably got a restraining order. Yeah, he doesn’t like me. Okay, go ahead. I’m sorry. You’re like, here, Will, here’s my autographed copy of Yellow Submarine. All right, let the guy talk. Let the guy talk. Yeah, so I volunteered. I had to manage the back of the line. Because, see, the thing is, every celebrity has a booth. And you have lines of people lining up to meet people. them for autographs, selfies, whatever. So yeah, there’ll be like volunteers to manage the front of the line, which is at the table where the celebrity is, then the middle of the line, then the back of the line. So I was managing the back of the line, that too specifically for Christina Ricci. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So telling all the people where they need to stand. And man, it’s crazy. I’m telling you, like,
both the days I volunteered on Saturday and Sunday and both the days, like you had like a hundred, a hundred plus fans lining up and I had to like manage those lanes and go into like overflow area. Get your hands out of your pockets. What are you doing? Overflow area. Yeah. Like we had like, like across from Christina Richie was, do you know David Tennant? Yes. Oh gosh. Dr. Who. Yeah, he came as a celebrity guest for this Comic-Con. Yeah, Kansas City gets a lot of really good celebrities. I’ve noticed over the last five or six years, they really bring them in. Christopher Lloyd was there. Andy Serkis was there. Matthew Lillard, of course. Scooby! Scooby! Scooby! Like Scoob. There’s a lot of ghosts in there, Scoob. That’s badass. You didn’t tell me this guy was this funny. I told you. Fun fact. I got to entertain a lot of volunteers and attendees at the back of the line with my shaggy impression. That’s badass. Yeah. That’s really good, man. Why don’t you meet Matthew Lillard and show it?
I would, but there’s so many people who want to meet him. And I can’t. Yeah. Now, the back of the line, was that the furthest away from the table or the closest? The furthest away. But I’ll tell you one thing. Because we did such a good job of managing the lines and her table, at the end of Sunday, which is the final day of Cannes, And before Christina had to leave to catch a flight, she said she would take complimentary photos with all the volunteers who worked her line and her booth. That’s how I got a pic with her. And I got to appreciate her for her role in Casper, which was like the first movie of hers I saw as a kid. Very sweet person and incredibly short.
too yeah it’s just she’s a tiny tiny person what was the typical fan or was it like creepy, like middle-aged old men like Bob, do you think or like younger like you know, buff guys like me, you think or what do you think it was? A good variety, Miles and bob good variety yeah yeah miles is the bradley cooper of this set right here, I can tell you that right now And then you had guys of my age. Then you had even the young fans. Yes, even the kids, but with their parents. Now I don’t know if it’s the kids who are the fans or the parents who are like, come with me, kids. I’m going to meet Christina Ricci. Nothing like a cute kid to get you freebies. Oh, I know. Oh, man, that’s just cute. Dog or a cute kid. No, bring a cute little kid because people love that. And you can cut in front of the line. Oh, it’s awesome. Oh, this kid’s got to go potty.
After he meets Christina Ricci. I’m like that guy in Titanic. I have a child. I have a child. Billy Zane. I pull a Billy Zane and cut the line. Unfortunately, it’s just your conjoined twin hanging out of your shirt. Waddle. Christina Ricci was great to meet her. I got to chat with some of the other celebrities. Not like get photos, but just chat with them like a meet and greet. I met Asif Mandvi from the internship movie. Owen Wilson. He played the Google guy, the Indian Google guy. Indian Google. Okay, cool. Asif Mandvi. I met Carla Gugino. Oh, yeah. Spy Kids. Yeah. And appreciated her for all her Mike Flanagan roles. A lot of stuff. Yeah. And my favorite part. Two favorite parts, I’ll tell you. One is I met Bob West. He’s the voice of Barney the Dinosaur. Oh, Barney, yeah. And I got to do my impression of Barney for him. Do your impression of Barney for us. Yeah. I love you. You love me. We’re a happy family.
This guy’s like Rich Little. Holy crap. He’s the Indian Rich Little. But one fact I’ll tell you is that though I did my impression for Bob, the first time I did it, he gave me an honest feedback because now what you’re hearing is after he gave me the feedback, the improvement, but earlier he was like, you need to go a little deeper and relax the voice. Because the first time I did it, I was like, I love you. You love me. He was like, it’s not bad, but just go deeper and relax the voice. I love you. That’s what she said and once and once i did then he was like, well done much better nice then i gotta show him my uh my reel on Instagram. Oh, did you really? Yes, I had to i had to tell him guys
Suresh, that’s the line. You crossed the line. He was like, wow. He was mind-blown by it. Are you taking me to the airport? That’s what he said. But not just Bob West. You know Ross Marquand? Yeah, from Walking Dead. Yes, and he’s an excellent voice impressionist. If you see his YouTube videos, he has done so many… celebrity voice impression, so I had to meet him and I had to just show the reel and say, hey, I need your constructive feedback. You showed the reel to him too? Yes, I told him I need your constructive feedback. You will be able to tell me from a pro to a rookie, does this sound fine? What could be done better? He watched my reel. He was like, man, I’m impressed. I just can’t say anything critical about this. This is really good. The only thing is,
with the Beetlejuice because he does a really good Michael Keaton impression so he was like with the Beetlejuice again go a little deeper go a little deeper with like instead of like all you gotta do is say my name three times you have to go like all you gotta do is say my name three times all you gotta do yeah like really deep there but he was like really good showtime it’s showtime there you go. All right. Not bad. Not bad. Yeah, so i had a blast i i can’t believe you showed you real the two people. I had to i mean i know i that’s that’s ballsy that’s balls very ballsy that’s what this is what happens when instagram’s algorithm doesn’t give me give me more than what
300, 400 views. I need to show it to other people. Well, I guess that’s true. Mark Zuckerberg is to blame. Well, he’s to blame for a lot of things, I think. What fun. So David Tennant, though, you didn’t get to meet him? No, because he was there only on Friday and Saturday. And Saturday is like the busiest day of the con, maximum football. The lines are crazy because I told you some of our lines overflowed into David Tennant’s area a little bit. Many people who came up to me were like, is this David Tennant’s line? Because I was managing Richie’s line. So I’m like, no, this is Richie’s line. David Tennant’s is just over there. Talk to those volunteers there. It was crazy managing people from both. Go see that guy with the glasses at the other end.
Yeah, this is Ritchie. We’re in overflow. We’re in overflow area for Ritchie all the way up there. You should have said exterminate. Exterminate. Exterminate. We are disappeared beings. They’d be like, uh-oh, I’m getting the hell out of here. Yeah, no kidding. Was it Davros? Davros, yeah, wasn’t it? That was a bad guy. Yeah, he was like the little weird dude. The Dalek guy. Yeah, the Dalek. Exterminate! So, I mean, were you on your feet all day with this? I mean, what’s the grueling schedule that you kept? Yes, so my shift officially started at 8.30 both days in the morning and went till like 3, 3.30 in the afternoon. And yes, Most of the time, I had to stand, walk around, stand. The only time I get to sit is for lunch, which would be like at 12 or 12.30. How many volunteers do you think they had? For Celebrity, it was 100, close to 100. Really? Wow. And for the entire con, it would be like 700 at least. Oh, my God. How many people were there this year?
As for the news, estimated is 70,000 people. But, of course, official numbers from the con will not really go out. Right. Yeah, yeah. I never know. So you were over there at the convention center, right? Yes, the Bottle Hall in downtown. Bottle Hall, yeah. Did you see that crazy statue of the ballerina? Oh, my gosh. And it’s a huge hall, man. I mean, like 10 football fields. And despite so many people, it doesn’t feel crowded because in India, we have Comic-Con over there in India too, believe it or not. But it gets so crowded. Believe it or not. You have to push your way through people. You’re like, excuse me, excuse me. And no place to sit for the fans. I mean, it’s…
And they can’t do, like, a celebrity row over there, at least for now, because I don’t think the Indian fans would be as disciplined when it comes to seeing their favorite stars. It would be chaotic. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. Do they have, like, ropes or anything? Or is it just… Over here, you mean? Yeah. No ropes. No ropes. Really? Yeah. It’s all volunteers. All line tenders, huh? Yes. The attendees are surprisingly disciplined, at least from my experience. A bunch of nerds. I’m glad they had this because I’ve gone to some sports stuff and it’s like, is this a line? Oh, we don’t know. There’s no one there to guide people. You don’t know if you’re in line or what you’re doing. I was like, thank God. There’s something at least organized. Miles goes to all these sports…
autograph things. The cheap ones. No, not the nice ones. I go to cheap ones. Anyway. Kansas City fans? No. Take a pen and put it in your eye right now. Don’t ever say that again. I watched the Super Bowl, but I watched it as a neutral person for the first time. I watched it as a conscientious objector. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, I don’t think so so then uh where did you park? How did you get there? I mean, Bartle Hall is huge so they do have parking underneath, but i mean, you didn’t get to park there because that’s where they want all these other people to park, don’t they? My dad uh did the drop off and pick up for me very very very kind of oh get the audi out. Pops helped you out that’s nice he’s got the audi out.
Come on. Now, what hotel? Do they stay at the Lowe’s that’s right connected now? I bet that’s where they stayed. Yeah, I think it’s like… I forgot. But yeah, the very… But yes, five-star, of course. And it’s just like two blocks away. Yeah, Lowe’s is connected to the convention center. It was brand new at COVID. And it’s a very, very nice hotel. Very nice. And I mean… I’m just happy that I got to do it and more than what I could ask for. Yeah. Is this the first time you’ve done it or have you done this for multiple years? I volunteered last year as well. That was my first time, but it was not with the celebrity row. This was my first time with the celebrity row. Last year, I did panels. They have artists and creators who will give talks and
stuff to the fans so manage that in terms of like the timing and making sure the desks are supplied and uh welcoming greeting the fans then uh that was on saturday then sunday i did like the floor patrol where i got to just answer questions for fans and help them that’s what you said a lot, right? Is that a line? I don’t know. No, I actually, I actually did help them. If I wasn’t sure, I’d always say, hey, I think information booth over there may be able to give me an answer. Give me your phone number, girls, and I’ll see if I can work out something. I can text you an answer if you want to. Just give me your thing there. High five. Last year, we had a lost child and she approached me saying that I can’t find my
parents, and then I referred to the volunteers, and I said, we have a lost child here. There’s a fat man chasing me. I want you in my belly. He looks like that guy from The Walking Dead. Otis. But I did get to tape this for Chris Claremont, the X-Men artist. Oh, okay. Yeah. So I had so many people who were coming to me. They were like, where’s Chris? When is he coming back? And I’m like, I’m Chris. Yeah, I’m the Indian Chris. You want me to make an X for you? Sure. Speaking of that joke, I did tell some of the volunteers this year that anytime Matthew Lillard is unavailable or if the fans just cannot get to see him, bring me in because I’m Matthew Lillard life with my shaggy. I’m the free Indian Matthew Lillard. Well, they wouldn’t, you just say, yeah, I do it. I do a shaggy overseas. They would never know the difference. Yeah, of course. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. And then be like, why are you doing it in English? And I’m like, and I’m like, what if, what if I walked by Matthew Lillard’s booth and I just shouted,
Like, Scoob, there’s a lot of ghosts in there, Scoob. He might get confused. He might be like, is that voice coming from my head? Am I talking to myself? Nice. Wow. Any other exciting? Well, now, the funny thing is the Kansas City one is bigger than the St. Louis one. Wow. Because I’ve been to the St. Louis Comic Con back in 2018. Uh-huh. And there definitely was not 70,000 people there. I can tell you that right now. And who all came there? That was… What was the year Aquaman came out? Because… Jason Momoa? Yeah, Jason Momoa was there. Because I saw Jason Momoa because my wife wanted to go and I just tagged along. She was like… Yeah, eventually met Jason, which is like, no, no, he’s my brother. Well, I think I told this story. So we went, and they actually had the ropes, and it was a really long line. And it was like Disney World kind of situation. But there was like a holding pen, and then it got narrower, and then it got to single file and everything. But anyway, when we went in, I swear to God, he was high.
I think I mentioned this before. If I didn’t, now I’m divulging it. But he was like dancing around in there, Jason Momoa. They had music going. They had a photographer, you know, because they did pictures, you know, like professional pictures. And he had some friends in there with him. And so then you kind of, you know, it’s not a table. So this was like you couldn’t see him. Everybody couldn’t see him. and you go into like a little, uh, screened in area, like with draped off. And so then like there’s people getting their picture taken, then you’re next up. So you’re right at the door and then, you know, they hustle you in. And my wife told me, okay, here’s what we’re doing before we got to the, that point back. And, you know, she told me probably about five times or more because we waited a long time to see him because Aquaman wasn’t out yet. And so it was very hyped um
And she’s like, you’re going to stand far enough away that I can crop you out. Out. So get next to me and then take a half a step over. Wow. Yeah. And so that’s what we did. But I did. He was very open for like a little bit of comedy. And so I’m standing there with my back to him looking at my watch. Oh. in the picture, but I stepped away so that my wife could crop me out if she wanted to. Wow. Sacrifice. Yeah. It was very quick. He put his arm around her and then I was off to the side. It was a very humbling experience. Humbling for you. Humbling for me, yes. I’m trying to think. I don’t think he was taller than me. I’ll have to look at the picture. I’m pretty sure I was taller than him. I mean, you have to be 6’2 or 3′ then. I think they say he’s like 6’2, but I’m 6’1, and I think I was taller than him. You’re taller than me for sure. But anyway, it was – I mean, I –
have horrible knees. And so I was in a tremendous amount of pain after standing in line for hours. And, uh, then they start letting people cut. Like if you have little kids, you can go for it. He would. So because of his timing, he came out of, he came out and people went crazy. He came out of his tent or whatever the hell you want to call it. And he brought kids up to get pictures because they were crazy. closing in on his time. We, we did get in. So, um, and he, it was, you know, but he was like, kids were standing in this line. It was just murder. You know what I mean? And, and so he, he brought, he waved up the kids and, and got pictures with them and then let them get out of line. Um, during that he was, you know, he’s, he seemed like a pretty happy guy, but like I said, I think he was really high. Yeah. Yeah.
So, yeah, and who else did I see? But it wasn’t super busy, and I saw Ernie Hudson, Ghostbuster. Oh, my God. Yeah, he was there, and Kato Kaelin was there with nobody waiting for him. Oh, shoot. I mean, when you say about no one waiting for him, I heard Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling from 90210, both came to this comic con and uh i just overheard some volunteers saying, why did they i mean what i mean nobody was even there for them. 90210 yesterday oh no that’s sad yeah miles and i were just talking about this before we came on to the show on to do the show. And we were trying to maybe you have some insight being a volunteer. Maybe not, though. so
the understanding that I have is that the con pays to get them there. Right. So they pay to get, um, to fly them in and put them up. And then really they make their money though on the autographs. Right. While they’re there. But, but the con, so when you pay your cover or whatever you want to call it to get into the con, that’s essentially covering them to be there. Now, some people obviously like when Jason Momoa was there, uh, It was big money to get him to show up, right? But some of the people I would assume like Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling, they just basically cover their expenses to get there and then they only make their money on what they sell is my guess. Do you have any idea? I’m not too sure about the money workings, but the other stuff you said about the cover and the autographs,
Pricing and stuff. You’re absolutely right. How much was Christina Ricci charging? Do you remember? Yeah, she was charging $80 for a selfie, $80 for an autograph, and $105 for a photo op. That’s like a professional photo shoot. And believe it or not, I heard from one of the fans who got a duo photo op with both Christina Ricci and Christopher Lloyd. as part of the Adams family. She had to pay $250. Oh, my God. Yes. She told me afterwards, because I was managing the back of the line, and she spoke to me, and she was like, yeah, I got a photo op, costed me $250. And I’m like, wow. No, no, no, no. Miles is like, I’ll give you $1,250 and… I’ve got some leftover lifesavers from Christmas in my pocket. So if you want to save money, become a volunteer. Yeah, true. 80 bucks. Right. But I mean, that’s a whole day. Wow. I can’t stand that long though. See, I mean, I’d be like, no, there are any volunteers in wheelchairs or possibly scooters. Uh, they, you’d be surprised that there’s a lot of accessibility and, uh,
There’s no discrimination on any of that. So I’ve seen volunteers who have, like, canes or I don’t know about wheelchairs, but definitely the ones who are under the disability category. Yeah. Well, my understanding is that they’re at the convention center, the hall, that people use mobility scooters while they’re working there because it’s so huge. Yeah. Yeah. They don’t need it regularly, but it’s such a large place that they get them because they’re going to be worn out if they don’t. Especially the founder of the Comic-Con and the very senior folks will definitely use that. Yeah. I’ve seen Segways there whenever I’ve been there. I mean, they got the golf carts for the maintenance people, but no, they have these little scooters they rent out, like rascals or whatever you call them, you know? Yeah.
For people to run around. That’s interesting. Do you have any, any suggestions there? I mean, well, okay. Can you like, Hey, listen, I’ll, I’ll work in any line, but if you guys could just hook me up with, you know, Christina reach, she’s lying. That would be my first pick, but I mean, I’ll do any line, but I mean, can you say that? Or they’re like, well, no, you just, wherever we say you have to go. So the thing is, in the past, Comic-Con, they used to allow volunteers to pick the boots or lines they want to work at. But now, over the last couple of years, it’s been disallowed because of the sheer madness and chaos. Because multiple people may want to work with the more famous or in-demand celebs. So they allot you randomly. And my luck, I got Christina Ricci. Well, there you go.
Nice. Probably because you did it the year before and so they’re looking and they’re like, okay, Suresh was here the year before. He knows what’s going on. I think it boils down to maybe a good tip is do the volunteering early in the day, at the start of the day because then there’s more scope because if you come for the afternoon shift and suppose I’m already covering that, then People will be like, no, we don’t need any more people for Christina Ricci. Go to somewhere else, wherever else, or just patrol the floor and ask any volunteers if they need additional help assistance. So starting your day, then it becomes easier to be like, okay, you go there, you go here, and you really get to do the fun things rather than wondering, where do I go? Where do I stand? Did they give you a food allowance or you just got to go buy it at the concessions?
No, they give lunch for those who work for six hours at least, minimum. They do give a free lunch coupon. Oh, then you can just go to one of the concessions and get something? Yeah, they have a volunteers green room, so they’ll put all the food in the boxes of Subway sandwiches. I’m there. I’m there, man. If I can’t be in Richie’s line, can I just be manning the green room? Yeah, because I’m not getting some bullshit line. I mean, they do have volunteers just for checking in other volunteers. Yeah, well, his luck would be that. I’d rather have that than Tori Spelling’s line. And you get a sit if you’re checking in. Oh, that’s a primo spot then. Yeah. Or if you’re doing information booth, you can sit down as well. Now, do they have people who like, you know, there’s people who help the celebrities, you know, with their pictures and everything. Is that volunteers too or they bring their own people? Okay, so Photo Ops is like media team. They have a media team for that to take the professional photographs. But if you’re talking about the…
The table selfies and all of that. So sometimes the volunteers at the front of the line or at the table, they may take the photo for whoever wants the photo. Right. That’s how it works. I mean, there’s nobody sitting with them, like passing them things to sign or anything like that. So every celebrity, they have a handler. That handler could be a Comic-Con side volunteer or a handler that the celebrity… brings themselves. You would know the difference based on whether they wear our uniform or not. Will they smell good or not? They’ll smell good. Drakkar Noir. Drakkar Noir. Drakkar Noir. They do have handlers to manage all those autographs and writing the names down and serving as a liaison or what do you call it? Can I get you a water, Christina?
Lady man. Yeah, so that the celebrity doesn’t have to do all of that actual work. It’s just for them to say, hi, how are you? Thank you. Let’s get a pic. I’m going to massage your wrist, Christine. Is that hurting from signing? I can see Miles doing that. Can I rub your feet while you’re signing autographs? I’ll just be here. Hey, I’ll have you know, I got to sit next to a celebrity. He invited me in. Who? Clint Howard. Oh, that’s right. I got to sit right by him. I couldn’t believe it. He’s like, come on, sit down. I’m like, all right. I sit right between him and his wife. I’m like, oh, wow. Yeah. His handler was his wife, I think, right? Yeah. Well, I was like his pseudo handler. I wasn’t even working there. I was like, hey. I think he was using you as a human shield.
There’s a guy over there. He looks a little suspect. So if I put that big fat guy in front of me, the chances of me getting shot is slim to none. This guy in the bears Jersey. I’m sure they’ll kill him first before they get me. You better sit down for the heart attack. I’m going to let him rest. I still can’t believe that happened. I’m like, wow. Yeah. Probably. Yeah. What a nice guy. What a super nice guy. I know. Clint Howard was a very nice guy. I’d go see him anytime. I’d go see him again. Now, Miles got to meet a famous… I believe he’s Indian.
