What's up, everybody, and welcome to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025. Of course, I am Tim Geddes, and I'm joined by the big daddy himself, Greg Miller.
Hello, Timothy. How are you? I am doing fantastic. How are you? I'm doing excellent. Yeah. I'm happy to be here. I woke up so excited. First off, Ben doesn't have pink eye. Touch and go there last night. Is that always a question? Dude, I'm driving home last night. You know what I mean? We had a great day here, but it's a day. It's a work day. You know what I mean? Had a great time, though. And just get the text from Jen. I open up. She's like, I picked Ben up from school. He has goopy eyes. I'm like, oh, here we fucking go.
You know what I mean? Fucking go.
I got an Xbox Direct. I got this going on. I got that. Exciting. What's about to blow up for the entire week? You know what I mean? And suddenly it's like watching his eye all night long. I'm like, what's going on over there? You know what I mean? Is it itchy? No. But then you ask a toddler the question enough, then they just start saying it is. And I'm like, what is it? You're not rubbing it. Is it really? You know what I mean? They wake me up in the middle of the night, which is always great because he just wants to cuddle in the chair. And I like that a lot. You know what I mean?
One of my favorite things about Ben, and this has been true since like, I won't say year one, but he got the disapproving Greg face at some point. Oh, yeah. Where just all of a sudden, and he busts into it constantly. I've seen him have the disapproving Greg face more than I've seen you in my entirety of knowing you do the face. But I love how opinionated this kid is, and I love how readily he will let you know what he is thinking at any moment and how quickly that could change. He could be smiling, loving something, and all of a sudden,
It's over. That shit is gone. I am not happy, actually. Did you know I am not happy, actually? Yeah. It's so cool to see him just kind of grow. Woke up this morning. No pink eye. Eyes are back to normal. Thank goodness. Just kids being kids. You know what I mean? So then I got to transition right over to I can post the social clip of me pranking Nick. Your brother. Cool, Greg. Just an amazing editor now. How crazy is it from where we knew cool Greg when I first met him to where he is now. But he got the social clip I wanted of me pranking Nick on the kind of funny podcast. I wanted to save it. I forgot about it. So it's kind of like a little treat for me posting this morning and then watching everybody laugh, laugh, laugh. Greg's so funny. Greg's the best guy ever.
I know.
yesterday was one of those the great days one of the rare days that i get to go home uh to gia and be like hey we did funny things today you know what i mean and then i get to show her yeah right yeah we had two of them because we had the you pranking nick which got an amazing laugh out of her also got the reaction that i think a lot of us had which was like goddamn greg you were playing with fire there you were playing with fire i know how strong nick and d's relationship No, I know that, but I know how weak Nick is in terms of taking jokes. If he had a bad day, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, so that was amazing. And then the Kevin with the death whistle, which just, man, that sound is going to live rent-free in my head for the rest of my life.
I think it's such a great... like synopsis snapshot, that death whistle of what kind of funny is. You know what I mean? Where it's like, everybody's like, Oh man, every time we've ever done anything, Oh, they're going to lose who they are. Oh, they're getting to, I missed the spare bedroom. I missed the comic shop. I'm in. And then here it is, Kevin, even if the door was closed and like it is now, and the mic was off, we would hear the death whistle. Yes. Yes. Like there would be no way that would not stop the show. And you know, I appreciate you breaking it down yesterday. Yeah. Kevin's so apologetic in the clip yesterday because he knows he fucked up.
