00:00and then there was a we already did a another pre-screening like Marissa hosted that right
00:05she hosted it last night at the AMC fashion district it was last night and and then Casey
00:11hosted a screening last week at the same exact place for the movie free guy yeah so and while
00:21we were on vacation we got a text from Casey out of nowhere yeah explaining that things didn't go
00:27quite the way he wanted them so if it's possible to suffer a concussion without actually hitting your
00:34head that's what I think you experienced Casey uh yeah and so I listen I don't want to I'm I'm hope
00:41I'm hoping I'll find the text okay I'll read it I'm hoping that I didn't lead you guys down uh
00:46in the wrong direction of where you think this this story is going to go no we don't know anything
00:51we we we know that but I I the it was so heartfelt the text you sent out that we knew it had to
00:57because there have been similar situations in all our lives but this one seemed like wow this
01:03really had to be a little bit more yes so I I have the text here uh says oh my god uh I'm at the
01:09screening for free guy and by the way I sent you this text I'm still there I have not hosted the
01:14screening yet okay I I'm still there I have already embarrassed myself and I needed to like
01:20go somewhere and be by myself decompress for a second and then I had to admit to somebody
01:28what an ass I am okay and just to sort of make myself feel a little bit better and guess what
01:33it didn't help um I still felt terrible uh and I said so they asked me to hype up the crowd and
01:38introduce one of the stars of the movie so this guy named Joe Keery who plays Steve from Stranger
01:43Things is in the movie free guy yeah he was there to introduce the film and I was there essentially
01:49to introduce him right so I had come back from I was on vacation in Wildwood I had come back just
01:56to do this I thought it was a really cool experience uh real quick had you met him like at this point
02:01or is he still yeah okay by the way he seems like he's awesome I I love that character Steve from
02:08Stranger Things he seems like I've seen him interviewed before he seems like a cool guy he was a great
02:12guy okay and I will say that like categorically he was a great guy and the movie is hilarious it's
02:16a great movie the movie had been on the shelf for a year yeah they wanted a theatrical release and so
02:21they were like we're just gonna wait only theater and only theater so and then I wrote I just had a
02:25classic embarrassing moment like it's a classic shut the f up Casey and walk away kind of a moment
02:31I'm pretty embarrassed but it's also a really funny story so um you said you weren't sure if it was
02:37going to translate on the air I'm not sure if it's going to translate on air so well let's hear it
02:41well do deliver it in the original farsi all right so here's the deal uh this uh movie was at the
02:49fashion district the old galleria the name see there it never been there by the way what they've
02:53done to the place the whole galleria the fashion is awesome okay really really nice so I get there
02:59um uh Joe had gotten there earlier than than uh planned from the movie company from the movie
03:05company um but I had also gotten there an hour early so I decided to walk around a little bit
03:10right um side story but it also uh is part of the story uh I went to a place called Wetzel's
03:17pretzels have you guys ever heard of Wetzel's pretzels yes yep okay yeah listen I love Philadelphia
03:22pretzel factory and I love Annie Ann's yeah Wetzel's pretzels is like the best pretzel I have ever had in
03:29my entire life I couldn't and I was so happy with myself for going you know what I've never had a
03:35Wetzel's pretzel let me stop by and try one right hey me hey me and this thing was amazing
03:43and you were really proud of yourself and I was really proud of my and I couldn't believe how
03:47it was big oh it's just hand shocked yes it was amazing and I'm sitting there I'm eating this thing
03:53and I'm going I think I need to open my franchise I'm like this is like like I have just discovered
03:59gold for the for the first time that was like amazing so I get done eating the pretzel and Hannah
04:06from uh allied advertising is uh she's my handler and she says hey Joe's here I can bring you back
04:11to meet him I'm like okay I decide to use Wetzel's pretzels as a uh as an icebreaker okay okay well you
04:19were just you were completely enamored of Wetzel's pretzels it would be ridiculous not to okay I'm sober
04:24almost 10 years yeah okay I go into this place like I had just done seven rails of coke okay uh
04:33you're hyped up I'm hyped up okay and uh let me also preface this by saying I'm I'm fairly aware
04:41of who I am as a person and what I am as a person and sometimes I have um how do you say no chill
04:49you have moments no I had I had these moments but listen that's a valid that's a valid criticism
04:55of yourself right but as we've told you throughout the years uh to put a tap on that would be throwing
05:02out the baby with the bath water because that same energy delivers so much greatness to the to what we
05:07do on the radio on the radio okay in person with a stranger yes might be different so like someone
05:14who's never met you right who's in a new town promoting a movie there are three people in this
05:18room that have never met me and uh so as the as the great Ted Lasso once said uh know thyself rest in
05:26peace Socrates uh I did not realize uh as I was going off the rails what was going on here so I'm brought
05:35into this room I go off on Wetzel's pretzels as it turns out all three people in the room have heard of
05:40Wetzel's pretzels before and yes yes so it was relatable it was relatable and we had this in
05:45common you picked the perfect icebreaker right so I mean I mean Joe Joe's a great guy and then I
05:50meet two of his handlers uh one of them the the female was from Disney right so uh she was his
05:56handler from the the movie company Hannah who had brought me in and introduced me has now left this
06:03room we're in like this office and I just go off the rails that's all like I was just being nice
06:08I was being a nice guy and I just didn't shut up for like five minutes straight and uh that's but
06:17that's sometimes your Caseyism like you don't know when to to end it yeah is that what it was well so
06:23I had uh I had uh two or three different times talked myself into a corner well let me let me jump
06:28in here also throughout the years and it used to be the thing where I had asked if you realized this
06:34story was not going anywhere and then an asteroid hit the earth yes I asked you to say and then an
06:38asteroid hit the earth and we all died right uh there were a couple of and listen this is Steve
06:43from Stranger Things and you know and prior to this I thought maybe I was going to have to do a
06:47Q&A with him so I did a little bit of research about him and right you know so I knew a little bit
06:51more uh about this gentleman and as it turns out I wasn't doing a Q&A I was just introducing him and
06:57that's fine so um Hannah's not there uh I I I and I know like I have to leave I have to get out of
07:05here like I am you know I'm in a pretzel loop I have overstayed my welcome I have all I have moved
07:10on from pretzels I don't even know what I I don't know what the bridge from pretzels to Van Wilder was
07:16but now I'm at Van Wilder and because Ryan Reynolds is in Van Wilder sure all right sure and I'm and
07:23I'm relaying the story I had a really great uh interaction and encounter with Ryan Reynolds
07:28at the Van Wilder screening uh and and press junket in Panama City and I'm relaying this story
07:34and then I just hear a uh knock at the door and I'm like okay let me answer the door it's Hannah
07:40from Allied Advertising so I open the door she goes hey there's some people out here uh who want to
07:45have a their picture taken with you and I go oh okay you know and I start walking out the door
07:52I get halfway out the door and I go you weren't talking to me were you wait no no she was talking
08:00okay all right uh but I I kind of made a joke like oh uh Joe no they're you know they they want some
08:06pictures and she goes no they want pictures with you with me I'm like oh okay and I walk halfway out
08:11the door and it dawns on me that there's nobody out there to take pictures with me oh my god the girl
08:17the girl from the girl from Disney oh god essentially texted Hannah like dude get this
08:22guy the f out of here oh no oh no right and it dawns on me and I step out the door oh god
08:30and then I turn back I go wait a second oh god I go did you send her a text message to tell her to
08:36come and get me oh no oh no she did she flat out did I go I go I go you did I go it's fine I go I
08:44get it I get it I get it I go I'm so sorry man you know listen you know sometimes I have no chill
08:49or whatever but I go I know you totally did that right and then I shut the door and I walk away with
08:54Hannah and I go I go did she send the text message she goes yeah she did I was like oh my god and I
09:01was I listen I don't care that I called her out on it like I don't know that's if you're gonna do it
09:06you gotta own it yeah yeah and you did I don't know what the text of Hannah said I don't know if it
09:11was like hey you know get this guy out of here I don't know if she was nice please get him to talk
09:15about pretzels again oh my god but I mean we're closer with Hannah than them you should really ask
09:20what I want to know what the text said I would you know what I will ask her but she she confirmed
09:24that uh no there was nobody out there to take pictures with me so now I'm standing outside of
09:29this room and there's there's a step and repeat background nobody's there to take their picture
09:35with me and now I'm like oh my gosh like now you're thinking I was a child at this point like
09:44you know and I was so embarrassed and I was like so inside my own head and I was like this is like
09:49this is terrible I am so embarrassed I almost felt like crying and then because like I was depressed I
09:56was like like I legit got depressed at who I am as a person like you know like and then I was like a
10:04little bit I'm like but I'm I wasn't I was being nice you know what I mean like I mean I'm a nice
10:09person but like god case you're a 46 year old man you should freaking know you you have met a
10:16celebrity before like stop being such an a-hole you were excited over pretzels I was excited that was
10:22the problem you were excited over great pretzels and I and I still want to open a franchise and it's
10:28not that expensive to open a franchise my wife said no I'm not allowed to open a wetzels pretzels
10:32franchise I was trying to think of like where could I open a wetzels pretzels franchise where
10:37could I thought this would it would have been you going I need to go back and apologize right now
10:41and then go back in there and there with this guy again okay we can't get rid of him here what was
10:46the converse like what was the there was no conversation right was it just you talking not
10:51ending right all right so no I try to get people involved in said conversation so the questions were
10:59asked I think I'm pretty sure um do you recall a real exchange like a conversation or did you ask
11:06them to write down their questions and submit them to you I don't know so so was there any point at
11:12which I don't know I'll tell you what there were questions asked and you didn't breathe to let them
11:18answer I had another moment over the weekend too well well wait before you go to that to this point um
11:25did you encounter them again did you did you get did you get a chance to apologize to him
11:29our buddy from a stranger I uh talked to the guy yeah all right so I never talked to the girl again
11:35from Disney uh I talked to the guy so I had gone into the theater after I had walked away and
11:42hung my head in shame for 10 to 15 minutes and texted you guys to try and make myself feel a little
11:49bit better I was uh then uh asked to go into the uh um into the theater to let people because they
11:55they collect your phones a lot of times before so they had just gotten approval to let everybody have
12:01their phones back and then I really you know announced a surprise to the hey by the way we
12:04have one of the stars here so if you want to take a picture while he's in the theater you can go get
12:09your your cameras now so I did that and then uh and then I brought Joe on to the the stage and
12:16while Joe was addressing the crowd I talked to the gentleman I go yo man I'm like I'm so sorry I go
12:21listen sometimes I have no chill and he was so cool he goes dude he's like you were fine he's like you
12:27were he's like I actually I want to hear the rest of the story I'm like this guy you're lying
12:33you're lying but thank you so much I appreciate it and then sometimes we have these events and
12:39there's the person who's in charge of making sure that the other person's okay yeah I wonder if the
12:44publicist did that on Joe's behalf and he didn't care at all you know like there's a good chance
12:48that that was the case like I said I wasn't trying to put up a barrier and you know get get out in
12:54front of a situation because I've been at these things before and I've been at them with you and
12:59you're just friendly and you're you you know you're totally fine but every now and then oh you
13:03somebody gets weird you're speaking the truth nine times out of ten it is not the celebrity who
13:08is right with these restrictions or it is the handler or it could be like that scene in the running
13:13man or Richard Dawson the guy who mops over his feet he goes hey you're doing a great job and he
13:17walks in the other room is that a-hole is working later on today right you're gonna be mopping the
13:23floor um but I what is there a chance maybe we could see about getting Joe on to talk to him and
13:29just say hey are we okay I'm really sorry I'd love to talk to him I'd love to interview him anyway
13:37I would too I really would love to uh you know have an opportunity to perhaps go to the Disney rep she
13:42was impressed yeah I know no here's the deal here's the deal if we were to get Joe on he's not gonna
13:47he's not gonna be like yeah dude he was like he's gonna be you know very diplomatic in in that but
13:53Casey I've had more moments in my life like that where I've walked out of a room and just felt
13:59horrible about myself by for whatever way I reacted or have just presented myself and it's a common
14:07thing you know I mean I told you guys about this um it lives in you yeah it does I told you guys
14:12about this and I'll just call it an argument that I had in a Wawa parking lot too long ago
14:16and I felt worse about this encounter than I did about that encounter like right I really did if I
14:21felt worse about myself and that one almost came to blow no it did it did and I you know I won't go
14:26into details but you know I will let everybody know that I was in the wrong to begin with but um
14:31but I had a very similar um experience on Saturday night at the fish concert I was talking to a
14:37gentleman named Dave uh who uh he was telling me about these guys that were standing behind me
14:43and one of the guys just so happens to be a guitarist of a band that I actually just started
14:47listening to and I was like what you know it's pretzels pretzels oh my god Cory Wong
14:53pretzels I like pretzels do you like pretzels you ever had a wetzels pretzels no uh so a guy's name's
14:59Cory Wong and he's the guitarist for a band Wolfpack and I um thank you yeah so do I and I started
15:06going a little bit off the rails and then Dave who introduced us he sort of had to like qualify
15:12hey this guy's the producer for the morning show in Philadelphia and that's what he says and I'm
15:17like oh man I did it again I'm doing it again I'm like he's totally he's saying to this guy this
15:24dude's not just a you know although I am yeah uh I was like okay all right let's reel it back a
15:30little bit but this one time when you did this no uh so I like I try to know it's great pretzels
15:36bread I like but listen uh I didn't feel you probably felt it was worse than it was because
15:42now you were hyper aware of it yeah I'm sure it wasn't that bad it's it's challenging though too
15:51because when you're with friends when you with loved ones everybody smiles and nods and it's cool
15:55when you're with strangers or somebody you've never met before it changes the dynamic and you have no
16:00idea what was going through Joe Keery's head I'm sure he's fine and probably hasn't thought about it
16:04since then right well or that's the subject of his new movie now I've also been on the receiving end
16:10of a few of these experiences right you know people listen to the show and they're huge fans
16:14or like uh somebody will introduce me to somebody who clearly doesn't listen to the show and that's
16:20fine too and now these people have to act like oh yeah and I'm like don't you don't have to
16:24it's okay it's okay you don't have to listen I know you don't and it's fun but because of that
16:30like because of my experience that I had with Joe Keery and to you know anybody like if you want
16:36to come up and say hi to me at a restaurant or a Wawa or where like please do it absolutely
16:41because the deal is like I don't have a job if it's not for you that's listening right now like
16:47it just you know it's as simple as that like all these these you know great luxuries that I'm able
16:52to provide for my family are a direct result of you and your car or your home or your office or
16:56whatever listen to me right now and so same thing for you Joe Keery no uh pretzels pretzels
17:04wouldn't it be great if you guys open up a pretzel franchise you and Joe Keery you know
17:09I just want to own it by myself oh good boy guys just open up a Wetzel's pretzels with one of the
17:16stars of Stranger Things this is my thing this is not Joe Keery's thing this is my thing and
17:20I was trying to find a bridge no there is no bridge and you know what and and so at the very
17:26end of the night an asteroid hit and we all died right there you go so the worst part of this whole
17:33story guys is once I got done introducing the film and I walked out of the movie theater I went to go
17:39to Wetzel's pretzels because I wanted to buy some more to bring home to my family
17:42it was close what did you do with all those extra pretzels that were in the display game
17:47what was the last time what was the last time you remember an all-night pretzel place it wasn't that
17:51late it wasn't even eight o'clock was it as quickly when they introduced you to Joe was it as quickly
17:56hey man how you doing hey have you ever had Wetzel's pretzels before was it that quick it was pretty
18:00close yeah it was pretty damn close I've seen you do that before I've seen you do that type of thing
18:05where it's like and I know what you're doing you're just looking to have a normal conversation
18:08it's an icebreaker you're gonna you're gonna charm them all right um well anyhow we have to take a
18:15break I think right uh yeah no we do we do as a matter of fact because otherwise I would go to
18:20these calls but uh we have to no we got to think about regional manager Wetzel's pretzels is on
18:25stana's gotta go he's the northeast region and wants to talk about franchise opportunities
18:33listen the closest one here is at the fashion district I already checked and like they're in
18:37like north jersey but they're that's the only one like that is around here all right so I can't
18:43believe the winner in all of this is Wetzel's pretzels right you know you're kidding me
