Mike O'Gorman | You Made It Weird

You made it weird. You made it weird. You made it weird. Oh yeah. You made it
weird. You made it weird. Yes you did. You made it weird. Oh yeah. You made it
weird. With Pete Holmes. Yes you did. You made it weird.
What's happening weirdos? This is my chat with my pal Mike O'Gorman. One of the
funniest people alive. One of the best impressionists alive. And this episode
is filled with impressions which you know I absolutely love. And then also some
really thoughtful and interesting engaging stuff as well. So I hope you enjoy
it. Only a couple things to plug up top. September 8th is my next show here in
Los Angeles at Largo. Go to Largo, L-A-R-G-O dash L-A.
dot com for tickets. That is my live stand-up show. I do it once a month. It's
always incredible. Recently we've had Mulaney's come by. Amy Schumer's come by.
Judd Apatow. Bo Burnham did it one time. Phoebe Bridgers did it one time. There's
music as well. It's always, always, always incredible. Some of my favorite
people do it every single time. Val is usually there. Almost always there. And
it's the highlight of my month. I hope you can make it. Whenever you hear this
episode go to Largo dash L-A.
And look at the calendar for Pete Holmes living at Largo. The next one is
September 8th, 2022. And if you like this show, why not try a Pete's pick? Only
one Pete's pick to mention up top here. And it's my friends at Magic Mind.
Magic Mind. I think if I were to say the one product that's changed my life in
the biggest way in such a small bottle, it would be Magic Mind for sure. It has
changed my relationship to work, to productivity, and to my brain.
Magic Mind is not an energy drink. It is a productivity drink. In fact, it's
the world's first productivity drink. It's a magical elixir that makes you
focus better on your work, be more creative, and drink less coffee.
It has adaptogens in it, which round out the edges. If you take this with your
coffee, it rounds out the edges and sort of smooths out the caffeine, not
making you so jolty, but giving you energy and rounding out the energy you're
getting from your coffee as well. Magic Mind on its own has about 35 milligrams
of caffeine.
Which comes from matcha, which, as you know, matcha is a nice, rounded, even
caffeine. So it's not like a wired drink. It's a dialed-in drink.
I take it before I go on stage, before I write, before I work, before I have to
answer emails. It gives you about five to seven hours of flow state. And I find
it incredibly mood-elevating. Not just energy, but like feeling like your brain
has shown up.
So it's not just like, oh, wake up and shock yourself back to life with
thousands of milligrams of caffeine. It's not that. It's productivity in a
bottle.
This is one line I like to say, creators have creatorate. Like athletes have Gatorade.
This is creatorate. It is the creator's best friend. Helps fight off procrastination,
brain fog, fatigue, and some symptoms of ADD, getting you into that flow state.
After three to seven days of continuous use, it's even easier to get into that
flow state. And with a money-back guarantee, any first purchase will be refunded.
No questions asked. If it doesn't meet your expectations, and I actually have
an offer for weirdos from our friends at Magic Mind.
All you have to do is go to www.magicmind.co. Who has time for the full com?

limited 20% off your first order.
Val swears by it. I swear by it. I keep it in my travel bag. I keep some in my
car.
Anytime I'm doing something where I need to get into that flow state and just
focus, but also feel that elation and that happiness. Honestly, this like mood
elevation that helps me ease into what I'm doing.
I swear, swear, swear by Magic Mind. It is a true Pete Speck. I reached out to
them after I was using them for weeks. And now we have the promo code. So I
hope you like it as much as I do.

And in the meantime, enjoy my chat with the hilarious Mike O. Gorman. Get into
it.
That's you, buddy. And as I always say, and can I get my coffee, please? It's
that we can. It's a can full of we.
Yeah. Yeah. Coffee from yesterday.
So I'll drink a coffee from yesterday. Will you? Sure. Have you seen? This is
good. You know what I love about this? Are we rolling now? Yeah, we're rolling.
Because this is what, when I listen to podcasts and they're like, are we
rolling? And you go, how the fuck do you not know that you're rolling?
What do you tell me? You mean they should know because they're in a studio and
you're holding a mic?
They're like, how do you know that? Is this it? Are we on? Yeah.
I think the old. But now I get it because I just came in and here we are.
Yeah. Yeah. That's right. Now you've seen. Yeah. You've seen the other side. I
understand now.
There's a, I think the old way was, of course you're not rolling.
Right. Because you'd be smoking cigarettes like Johnny Carson.
Yeah. You'd be saying like inappropriate like slurs and stuff and you'd be like,
yeah, check out the gams on that dame.
Yeah, yeah. Man, she's been doing our cue cuts. I'll have my girl call you
tomorrow.
Exactly. And then he's like, oh, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm
sitting here with Michael Gorman.
Like it was more show. Yes.
Now it's more biz. Yeah. Now, now we're just in a guest house and hanging out.
Thanks for calling it a guest house. That's an upgrade. This is a Raj. Is it a
garage? I said Raj.
Oh, Raj. Okay. I'm sorry. You're far cooler than me. Raj Al Ghul.
Is this my water? Yes. Excellent. Enjoy it. Thank you.
I'm glad that you knew that was a water and not an ice cold beer.
Would you not say no to an ice cold beer? That's a beer. That's an ice cold
beer. Just kidding.
It is water. You, my friend, are drinking liquid death. Liquid death water.
There were two things that have already, first of all, for real, it seems like
I turned on my showbiz persona
because I greeted you at the door very cash. Sure, yeah. Walked you back very
cash.
I was going to say it was very cash. Well, I don't want anything, the moment
where we want to be like,
hey, oh my God, we did that thing. I want all that here. Right, right. Smart.
But I want you to also know that I didn't like kick it up a gear for the show.
I'm actually like sincerely and legitimately, those all mean the same thing,
very excited to see you.
You're one of the funniest human beings alive. Dude, please.
I felt the same way the whole time that I've known I was going to do this
because, you know,
we have a unique relationship in that we don't see each other very often,
but when we do, it's just like the funnest. Yeah. Like we laugh a lot and it's
great.
Yes. I'm having like a weird dream that is my life, right?
And you're this delightful little, I wanted to say imp. Is imp bad?
No, I'll take an elfish, like meaning magical. Like it's like I've eaten a lot
of mushrooms.
I pop in when you need me. And you pop in, but I'm on a quest and like my quest
is just my life.
If I don't mean it's like a special quest, I'm just kind of doing my things.
And whenever I see the Anita muscaria, is that what it's called? The red with
the white dots.
It's a little hut and you open the door and you're wearing an apron.
There's a little blood on it. Cause you know how mushrooms are kind of scary.
Sure. There's like some blood on it. Like there's something kind of devilish
about you potentially.
Sure. But I always come in and you serve me a little acorn, acorn caps filled
with hot tea.
Yeah. Plum wine or hot tea.
Plum wine and honeysuckle bread and we eat it by a tiny fire.
And every single time I see you, I die laughing.
And I remember that comedy, thanks. Comedy can be kind of for its own sake,
pure and entertaining to us.
I think, you know, I'm going to put it to you. One final thing. It's like, I
just feel like when you, when everybody likes pirating, but then when you
become a full-time pirate, then you're kind of like, yeah, I buck, I swashbuckle,
but like it's, it's my job.
Yeah. Like anything, it gets boring after a while. It gets boring and it
becomes something that you associate with throwing it into gear.
Throwing it into gear. Yeah. Or delivering. Yeah. And it's very rare and true
to have those, those imps that you've run into along the way that whenever I'm
with you, I just remember that comedy is also what we did at sleepovers.
Yeah. It's what we did at birthday parties. It's more of a hangout comedy than
a, than it, it feels like work.
More a hangout comedy. Yeah. Yeah. I, I never feel like I'm working when I,
when I'm with you, which actually goes all the way, but I was going to laugh
because two things just came up.
One, I was going to say cold coffee, drinking yesterday's coffee, buddy, you
know where, what film references drinking cold coffee, the coffee that you
leave out overnight and drink it the next day.
No. This is going to seem like I forced it, but it happened. My dinner with
Andre.
And is there anything that needs to happen more? My Andre the giant impression
is your Andre the giant impression. Like when I did your talk show, the Andre
the giant show, it's on YouTube.
Right. You can see it there. And that's just me sweaty and red. Like I am now.
But it's jumping around to give it some
structure. Yeah. But the actual day was just me dying. I had never heard
someone do Andre the giant.
I didn't even put it together that Andre the giant was French.
Yeah. Until I had heard you do it. Yeah. But, uh, I feel like the world needs
my dinner with Andre the giant.
Yeah. Well, okay. So let me, I'll go, because we're on a podcast, I can go into
kind of the origins of how I figured that out.
So in the, I would love nothing more. In the brief moment that I did stand up.
What year is this? This is probably like 2004, 2000. Actually, maybe, maybe
more like 2005, 2006.
Okay. I had a joke. My closing in my, on my tight five or seven was my closing
was like, I love movies and I love suspense thrillers.
And I love when the, the kidnapper call makes that ransom call and he's got
that modulator on the phone call.
And he goes, if you want to see your daughter again, bring $50,000 to the
garbage can behind the supermarket.
We have your daughter. We have your family. Yeah.
Your family is on a ski lift. Your family's on a ski lift and you'll bring.
We stopped the ski lift. They're amid ski lift.
This is so good. How are you doing that?
We just figured out I could do that. There's a power to it. See, when I do it,
I go low and I lose power.
Like I can't project at that. There's, there's gotta be a force.
You have to be able to force it through.
And, and, uh, imagine being that guy, but you are just making like a dinner
reservation.
Well, that was the joke. The joke was, the joke was what if he left it on and
then calls for like Chinese takeout.
That's unbelievable. We went the same way. And it goes, and it goes, uh, you
know, and I would do the whole thing.
Like there's a group of guys around and it's like, uh, yeah, let me get a, uh,
order of, uh, let me get like five egg rolls.
Uh, a thing of, uh, general chow's chicken. Then he, and then I go, I go, what?
Well, look at the menu. Cause I'm on the phone with the guy now.
Like his friend just walked in.
So that, so I would do that joke.
Look at the menu. Yeah. Well, hurry up. I'm on the phone. I'm on the, with the
guy now.
Can I say great comedy points out something that I feel, which is the tension
of when you're making an order and, and someone comes in late.
I got to get this done. Like you're wasting their time. Where have you been?
And they're going to fuck up the order or like, they're going to take it out on
us somehow.
And it's food. And, and it's like, we're animals and we're weird about our food.
