(male narrator)
Coming up..
We need to settle this, please.
(male narrator)
...why are things
getting ugly between Murr and Q?
What has Sal feeling romantic?
I love you.
[laughing]
This guy is ripped.
(male narrator)
How will Joe
talk his way out of this one?
What do you do to work out
your ponytail, cupcake?
Right, what do you, uh..
(male narrator)
And tonight's big loser
will be forced to reveal
excruciating secrets in our
most revealing punishment yet.
[laughing]
[theme music]
We're back in the mall
for a rematch
trying to figure out
who's the best debater.
We're going head-to-head,
tournament-style
asking strangers to settle
the most ridiculous of debates.
But the topic of our debate
will be given
to us by the other guys.
We've got to get someone
to agree with our stance
no matter how bizarre it may be.
If you can't get the stranger
to say you're right, you lose.
- I will be defending my--
- You're going down!
You're the guy to b*at,
my friend.
I'm so gonna lose.
[laughing]
(Joe)
Who do you think is in
a worse position, Q or Murr?
Ooh, this is real tough one.
(Joe)
No one wants to agree
with Murray
just 'cause of his face
and no one
can understand what Q's saying.
I don't know, man.
I disagree with you.
What if we,
what if we let her settle it?
Excuse me, ma'am, do you mind
settling an argument?
- Two seconds.
- You're the judge.
It's in your hands
who wins this.
Murr this one's for you,
I say I'm uglier than he is...
I..
[laughing]
I say I'm uglier than he is.
Hey, Q.
Say, "I'm uglier than he is."
And I, and I say I'm uglier
than he is.
[laughing]
Hear us out.
Have you seen my hair?
'Cause I haven't.
I kind of look
like Rosie O'Donnell
which, for a woman,
is attractive
but, for a man,
that's probably not what a woman
wants to see coming at her
in the middle of the night.
Have you ever seen a picture
of a ferret?
A beady-eyed, weird-looking
ferret with a small head?
That is what I look like.
I look like my neck threw up
all over the place and grew
like, hippie hair.
Underneath my shirt
is the more chest hair
than you've ever seen
in your entire life.
- It is not handsome.
- You have beautiful eyes.
Use those beautiful eyes
to look--
Use your heart
and look at me.
- We need to settle this.
- We need to settle it.
- Please.
- Once and for all.
[laughing]
[instrumental music]
It's so funny
that the real answer
is gonna crush one of you.
[laughing]
- I'm uglier? I'm uglier?
- He's uglier?
Kind of a victory, I guess.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
- Well, I won that one.
- No, no, no, I won that one.
[laughing]
(Murr)
Who do you think is gonna win
between Joe and Sal?
Well, here's the thing.
Sal is exhausting to argue with.
- 'He is. He's the worst.'
- He just doesn't let go.
So, if he just brings
a tenth of that
annoying fire to this argument,
h-he's got it.
- I think you're wrong. Ask him.
- I don't think so.
Let him settle it. Could you
settle a bet for us, bud?
Now, Joe, what's a worse
medical condition..
Which is a worse
medical condition?
...my body lice..
My body lice?
Now, Sal, or my foot fungus?
Or my foot fungus?
Okay? I'm up all night
scratching and itching.
I got body lice all up in me,
every crevice, every orifice.
And that's what I'm dealing with
every day of the week.
I'm on my feet all day long.
There's never a time
where this isn't irritating me.
Plus, it's a fungus. Gross!
I can't be with a woman because
I can't take my socks off.
I mean, I can't be with a woman.
I mean, th-their whole bed
is ruined.
- Oh!
- Appreciate your time.
- Sal, you lost.
- Sal, down in flames.
And the gladiators head
to the final challenge.
(Murr)
How did you and I lose?
We're the ones
that argue the most.
- May the best winner win.
- Finally, a challenge.
I-I see your point,
but I don't think you're right.
You don't think..
We could argue this all day.
Why don't we ask this gentleman?
Excuse me, bud.
Sir, well,
could you help us settle
uh, an argument real quick?
Real Quick.
So, Joe, which has contributed
more to society?
Which has contributed
more to society?
I think it's reverse osmosis.
I think it's reverse osmosis.
And, Q,
I think it's cold fusion.
I think it's cold fusion.
Okay, so, now, reverse osmosis
is really taking a toll
on the environment here
with all the water
that's out there,
you got all the water
and the reversing it,
and you're making water.
Yeah, yeah.
However, cold fusion
is single-handedly responsible..
For what?
- For...video-game systems.
- What?
Every video-game system,
from the N.E.S.
to the PlayStation,
everyone has cold fusion.
Reverse osmosis, really
is what they use
t-to make the controllers.
See what I'm saying,
you can't have video games
if you don't have controllers.
Yeah, today,
but what about in the future?
Everything out there is all
hands-free now.
You want to do this, you do that
on the screen, you don't even--
Yeah, but reverse osmosis
is the reason
why you're able to sweat,
if you can't sweat,
then how you gonna even
move around?
Yeah, but cold fusion
also powers
air-conditioners which cools you
down, your whole house down.
(Sal)
You guys go to do something
to make him pick one
or else both of you lose.
You're gonna die without
reverse osmosis.
You're gonna walk out of here
and be dead.
Do you want to be dead?
You're gonna die.
You and your family,
your loved ones, dead.
Life is not worth living
without cold fusion.
[instrumental music]
That's why it's called
cold fusion.
You're gonna die
without reverse osmosis.
You're gonna walk out of here
and be dead.
Do you want to be dead?
You're gonna die.
You and your family,
your loved ones, dead.
Life is not worth living
without cold fusion.
Earth would stop spinning
without reverse osmosis.
But if you had to pick one..
Dude, just tell me you wanna
k*ll all your friends.
You wanna k*ll all your family?
Say it, go ahead, go ahead,
just tell me..
Yeah, but in which direction?
- Video games.
- Oh!
Boom!
- k*ll everybody!
- Cold fusion!
Everybody's dead,
playing video games in coffins.
Cold fusion wins every time.
- It was only - , though.
- I was so close.
(male narrator)
It was an ugly win for Q
putting Joe, Sal, and Murr
on the loser board.
Salsa!
- Ballroom!
- Swing!
These are the classes
we'll be teaching
here at Steppin' Out studios.
While leading the class,
we've got to
do and say what we're told.
And if you refuse, you lose.
(male narrator)
It's Sal and Q in the Joker
vs Joker challenge.
You know, your body
moves like jello
good jello with rhythm
but I'm just saying.
I'll do a little salsa,
that's just..
Yeah, we get it,
you're Mexican.
Your grandfather was born
on the Mexican flag.
I'm not Mexican.
- How's everybody doing?
- Introduce yourself, bud.
Well, my name is Sal.
I fell in love with salsa
about years ago.
So, just loosen up real quick.
Sal, say, "I have dead arms."
Really swing loose there, buddy,
with dead arms.
Uh, my stretching technique..
(Murr)
'Faster, buddy.
Just start hitting yourself.'
Gregory Hines taught me this.
Gregory Hines taught me this.
[laughing]
Sal, introduce yourself again.
So, you know, my name is Sal.
I fell in love with dance
about years ago
'and I've been doing it
ever since.'
Partner up.
Gentlemen will lead.
You want to keep your arms
squared off at the top.
Great, great. Very good.
So, guys..
Introduce yourself.
Let me tell you a little
about myself. I'm Sal.
Uh, I fell in love with salsa
about years ago
uh, and I've been l-learning it
ever since.
Very good.
Sal, partner up with
one of the guys.
Why don't we switch up?
Uh, you guys go ahead.
- You, sir.
- You, sir. We'll partner up.
It's okay, 'cause I wanna see
how you lead.
Look him in the eyes
and whisper, "I love you."
[laughing]
I love you.
[laughing]
Sal, slowly lower your hand
down his back.
'Lower.'
That was it! That was it!
Notice how my hand
is nice and high?
[buzzer buzzing]
Oh, I didn't know Q
was teaching disco.
(Sal)
'He's not. He's teaching swing.'
(Joe)
'Oh, look at him.
He's warming up.'
You can't dance.
[laughing]
Hi, hello.
We're gonna do a little
swing dancing today.
- First things first..
- First things first..
...has everyone left their
bull [bleep] at the door?
Has everyone left, huh..
uh... Has everybody left
their bull [bleep] at the door?
- 'Cause we're here to dance.
- Because we're here to dance.
No bull [bleep]
(Sal)
'When's the last time
you cut loose?'
When's the last time
you cut loose?
Tell everyone,
"Hold on, hold on."
- Alright, hold on. Hold on.
- 'Hold on.'
I just cut loose.
[laughing]
That's right,
I just cut loose.
[laughing]
Ladies, pair up, pair up.
- Q, swing dance.
- Right.
It's a little bit,
it's a little bit like..
Right, like that. There we go.
Look at us.
This is a simple maneuver.
Try and do that.
Let's see what you got.
Just do some of that, yeah.
Everybody kick. There you go.
Like that.
- That is not swing dancing.
- They're doing it.
[laughing]
Ow!
Are we having fun or what?
[bell dings]
(male narrator)
There's only so low
Sal would go.
So now he's leading the dance
on the loser board.
We're in Time Square giving away
free tickets to a Broadway show.
- What show, pray tell?
- We don't know what show.
The first time
we see the tickets
is the first time
we're seeing the show title.
If you can't convince someone
to take tickets
to this ridiculous show,
you lose.
[instrumental music]
Do you guys want free
Broadway tickets?
I can't go. I just don't want
them to go to waste.
You want free Broadway tickets?
I can't go to the show tonight.
I'm giving away my tickets.
It's, uh..
[chuckles]
"Nancy Reagan On Ice."
(Murr)
'Hey, what's that show about,
buddy?'
You know,
the former first lady.
It's, it's not even ice capades,
they just bring her out
in a block of ice for a viewing.
Nancy Reagan's alive.
Uh, does it interest you?
Would you like to go see it?
- You're leaving right now?
- Ah!
No problem, guys.
Could you guys use free tickets?
I can't go.
I just want to give them away.
Oh, I'm not selling them
or anything.
It's, uh..
The show is called..
"Cakes On A Train"
have you heard of it?
[laughing]
- What happens in it?
- Oh-ho! Good question.
Samuel L. Jackson's
pissed again.
It's right here.
It's a block away.
Thank you, guys.
I really appreciate it.
[bell dings]
Guys, do you want my tickets?
They're free if you want.
I can't use them for tonight.
Do you want them?
It's, uh, uh..
The show is, um..
uh, "The Whole Theater
Gets Soaked."
[laughing]
It's "Phantom Of The Oprah."
Uh, "A Raisin In The Shade."
It's "Celine Dion's
Least Favorite Hits."
The show is, um,
"Back And To The Left."
Have you heard of it?
It's, uh..
(Joe)
'And what happens in that show?'
He's got nothing.
He's got nothing!
It's, uh..
[instrumental music]
Ah, these tickets.
Excuse me, guys.
Do you want my tickets
for tonight?
The show is, um,
"Back And To The Left."
Have you heard of it?
It's, uh..
(Joe)
'And what happens in that show?'
He's got nothing.
He's got nothing!
It's, uh..
It's an interpretive dance set
to the Kennedy Assassination.
[laughing]
They've got this
great number in it.
- It's, um..
- He's trying sell it.
It's da-da-da-da-da-da, huh!
It's back, to the left.
So, that's a no for the tickets?
Okay.
Took a b*llet on that one,
buddy.
You took a b*llet
on that one, buddy.
There's a second sh**t.
[laughing]
[buzzer buzzing]
Hey, I got two free tickets
I don't need tonight.
You want them, it's two tickets
for, um, uh, it's..
"Mike Tyson Explains Pigeons."
So..
I don't know how much you know
about the pigeon population
here in New York City, uh, but
it's told to you by Mike Tyson.
One lucky audience member
gets punched in the throat
by the heavyweight champ
Mike Tyson.
[laughing]
So, I'm actually the lucky guy
that got punched right
in the Adam's apple.
I'm sorry if I'm talking funny,
he crushed my trachea
when he punched it.
Would you be interested in two
free tickets for tonight's show?
[buzzer buzzing]
Q, how surprised are people
gonna be
when the first words
out of your mouth are,
"Do you want free tickets?"
instead of, "Change?
You got change?"?
I'm giving away tickets
to a show tonight.
You guys want them? I can't go.
I'm just giving them away.
Hey, guys, I'm giving away
tickets to a show tonight.
I don't want them to go
to waste, it's called, uh..
It's called, uh..
..."Laughterbirth."
- What's that about?
- It's, uh, it's about, uh..
A placenta that drops out,
hits the ground,
puts on a bow tie, and starts
telling knock-knock jokes.
[laughing]
It's a comedic afterbirth.
"Laughterbirth."
(Murr)
'Ew, who would want to see
a placenta?'
Do you want them?
- Uh, no. I'm good.
- You don't want them?
He's like, "Is this thing on?"
I just flew in from [bleep]
and, boy, are my arms tired.
(male narrator)
Joe, Murr, and Q couldn't
unload their tickets
so they're taking a seat
on the loser board.
Today, we're personal trainers
at Astoria Sports complex
and we are working
on our fitness.
We'll have to do and say
whatever the other guys tell us.
And if you refuse, you lose.
Hang on to your dumbbells,
gentlemen.
This is Joker vs Joker
challenge.
- 'Whoa!'
- 'Whoa!'
You feeling confident, buddy?
Can you figure out
what that machine is for?
There you go.
(Joe)
'You got it, buddy.
That's how you do it.'
(Murr)
'Is that what it does?'
[laughing]
Hey, man, how you doing?
What's up? What's your name?
- James, what's going on?
- 'That is a big dude.'
How long you been, uh,
coming to this gym?
I mean, look at the two of
them side by side.
This guy must feel like he's
staring into a fun-house mirror.
Hey, Sal, after this,
you're gonna teach
Bobby Fischer how to play chess.
Is that alright?
'Are you ready for that, buddy?'
I got a good workout
for your calves.
Let me grab these ropes.
'Grab those, and grab one
for him, too.'
- Step on the bands.
- Yeah.
(Joe)
'Your feet about
shoulder-length apart.'
Sal, start moving
your whole body.
(Murr)
'Make it as awkward
as physically possible.'
Um..
So, I, so-so, here, you're gonna
bend your knees a little bit.
[laughing]
This is called the Wisconsin
chimichanga.
This is called the Wisconsin
chimichanga.
[laughing]
Do the whole body.
Do the whole body.
[laughing]
How are you, bud?
Power sesh?
Sal, only let him do
one rep each.
- One rep.
- One time, one-timers.
- One rep is enough.
- You ready?
Look in the mirror.
Count it off. One.
Alright.
Now we're gonna do it
at the same exact time.
Ready? One.
[laughing]
And we're gonna go down.
- One.
- One.
Okay.
(Joe)
'Now keep him in your hand
and do one jumping jack.'
Okay, jumping jacks.
Ready?
One. Okay.
(Murr)
That's all Sal can handle.
- Feeling that burn?
- "A little bit."
[bell dings]
Guys, what is this weird place
I've found myself in?
- It's a gym.
- A what?
- Gym.
- Se-end help.
I don't even know
wh-what goes on in here.
(Q)
'You better figure it out
'cause he's coming in.'
What's up, man? How are you?
Good. What's your name?
Billy. Joe.
Good to meet you, bud.
- This guy is ripped.
- Cool.
Uh, so, you come
to this gym a lot or no?
What do you do
to work out your core?
What do you do
to work out your core? Abs?
What do you do to work out
your ponytail, cupcake?
But what.. right.
What do you, uh..
Do it. Do it, do it.
[imitates buzzer]
You know what I'm saying, man?
So.. That's it, it's over.
We're just done here.
[buzzer buzzing]
(male narrator)
Joe's training session
didn't work out
So he's tonight's big loser.
Joe is our loser,
so for his punishment
he'll be giving a seminar
as a relationship expert.
Inside this box are love
questions
submitted by the audience.
All you got to do, buddy,
is answer
each question
with the word yes
and then explain
your way out of it.
Of course, the only thing is
here are the questions
that the audience wrote.
And here are the absolutely
mortifying questions
that we wrote.
Joe has no idea it was switched.
- Just say yes.
- You guys are up to something.
Say yes.
[laughing]
- Hello, everyone.
- Hi.
'Hi. How are you?'
Thank you for coming to, uh..
Understanding The Opposite Sex
'with, uh, me, Joe Gatto.'
I take questions from the people
in the audience
and, uh, help you relate
to things
that you're going through
by sharing experiences
in my life about
understanding the opposite sex.
I'm just gonna get started
and answer some of the questions
that have been submitted, okay?
Ooh, a lot of questions.
'Okay, someone asks'
"As a woman, is it okay
to make the first move?"
These are the normal questions.
Uh, y-yes, of course
it's okay for a woman
to make the first move.
Women are empowered
in this day and age.
'Uh, you should feel
totally comfortable.'
You know, you see something
you like
get out there and say something,
right?
These are good questions, guys.
Good work.
- Here we go.
- And so it begins.
"Has your partner
ever called out
someone else's name
while making love?"
- 'You got to say yes.'
- Uh, yes.
Uh, that has happened.
It's embarrassing, um..
I've found, in my experience
especially when they're with me
it seems that the wrong name
is just, uh
the status quo.
[laughing]
Yeah, um, okay.
"My wife can be so irrational
at times.
Is every woman irrational?"
[laughing]
Let's just soak that in
for a second.
I've never seen him this
nervous up top.
You can tell how nervous
he is, right?
I think I see what's up, uh..
He just realized that
they're all questions.
Yeah, buddy, we wrote them.
Yep, that's what's happenin'.
[laughing]
(Sal)
'He has to say yes.'
[instrumental music]
Okay.
"My wife can be so irrational
at times.
Is every woman irrational?"
[laughing]
(Sal)
'Got to say yes.'
- Yes.
- 'Oh, my god.'
(Q)
'He just told an audience
full of women'
'that they are irrational.'
[laughing]
"My friends think that all men
are horrible dirtbags.
Are you a horrible dirtbag?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of course.
"Have you ever been impotent
for more than a year?"
[laughing]
Yes. Okay.
"Have you ever made love
in a La-Z-Boy chair
next to a cheese fountain with
a WNBA player for charity?"
How'd they find that out?
Uh, "I feel like I'm the only
one who feels this way."
I bet you're not.
"Have you ever been
romantically attracted
to a family member, too?"
[laughing]
Oh, yeah. Yes, yeah.
That's natural.
- "That's natural"?
- No, it's not.
And finally, "There's an
internet rumor going around
that you're dating
a -year-old woman."
[laughing]
Yes.
Yes.
Uh, we talk a lot about,
you know, World w*r II..
[laughing]
...and World w*r I.
There's the love making.
[laughing]
She's got the body
of an -year-old
so that,
she's got that going for her.
[laughing]
So, yeah, that's it.
- Gentlemen, a job well done.
- Finally.
It's safe to say that
we actually got Joe just now.
